Alex, great ROM. I'm used to customizing every ROM quite severely (meaning stripping almost all Sense stuff, UOT Kitchening, substituting launchers, putting everything /system on NAND etc.), though, but I'd like to keep stuff ODEXed as well. Can you pinpoint me to some sources on how to do that? Thx for a great ROM!

Guillaume.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Hi Swemoza, Thanks for the work on the Amarullz script. I noticed that you said this script moves the dalvik out of internal memory to the SD card. Doesn't this reduce the performance? On other ROM's I've used, moving the dalvik really slowed things down for me. I'm just wondering what the advantage of this script is versus Alex's Data2ext or your data2whatever.

Thanks for your hard work,

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
nice will add it to first site in the evening :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
interesting :) but runs now good..?! not have that...i only get sometimes if i flashed a phone not response...i click on wait..and all is ok (the initial setup needs a bit time but not a hour) so can i know what sdcard you use..?! i use the one that come with the phone

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
also on data2ext and data2w is dalvik on ext (dalvik internal is not good for data scripts because...data is full with dalvik and you have free ext space for apps you cant install more apps because of data is full of dalvik)

the advantage of the script..: mmhh sure its similiar to other script...but eg i have problems to intigrate data2ext with dalvik on ext in newer sense 3.5 roms..with this script it works...

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
at first thx :)

odex again is not so easy...for system/app i use this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734236

but if you want also framework odexed...?! that is tricky...(you can read in my changelog...coolexe helped me and maked a odex script for me...) because you must look at the boothclass order for framework (find in the kernel init....if the order is a other then in the script you get a not booting rom....

this was the script from cool for a mixed 2.1 + 3.0 rom (because more framework files)

http://www.multiupload.com/O69MPD6IBL

if you want booth apps and framework odexed...you must make framework first odexed ""important"" or you will get a not booting rom...you see not easy

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Theorytically yes it more slow.

But what i felt is fast enough..

Until now i still use amarullz script. And keep the data2w on nandroid backup..

:P
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
@swemoza, what's the recommended partition layout for your amarullz scripted-ROM? Same as Data2Ext (EXT4 + EXT4+ SWAP+FAT32)? or just normal FAT32+EXT4 will do?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
One ext is enough :)
[Desire Android Development] tarunsoni:
I use 16gb class 4 nokia sd card.

I am sorry for that post. I wasted 4 hours on repartioning the sd card with different methonds upon the suggestion that it is a problem is caused by bad partioning of the second ext.

The rom is running smoothly.But when i flash the rom using Amarullz instead of data2ex script, the fcs keep on continuing even after second boot.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Just calm down..

I once wasting my time the same with you 3 or 4 hours just to try DATA2SD manually with adb from the 1st time.

Amarullz script use different partition layout than data2ext.

Only use 1 ext partition.

If you already did all the right step, maybe you can try another sd card.

Because until now i never had any single fc with data2ext, data2w or amarullz script..

Edit: for amarullz script, after firstboot and finalize setup, dont restore any app. Just reboot, and after that you can restore any app..
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yes, the same like alex v said.

Only one ext. The same like data2w.. Fat32 + 1-2gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap

Unlock from Trackpad

Hi Alex,

Is there any way for unlocking phone from Trackpad ?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
would say the same as swemoza...

for your post its ok...

anyway...this are all "it can be things" to help...but not it is...the things we say that it can be are the most important errors...hope you understand this
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i think it was a special patched htclockscreen.apk or..?!
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Hi Alex, I have two questions about the ROM!

First, is it a good idea to try the Supercharger script? I found that it was very useful on other ROMs, preventing lags and FC. I have to say that I haven't noticed any big lag for now, but sometimes when opening lots of apps the Sense restarts. And I admit, I like to try everything until I break something :D

The second question is really a curiosity: why on most Sense ROM the benchmarks are so low? I get 8mflops on Linpack, 4000 on tapbenchmark (with miui d2ext i get near 8000) quadrant 1500 (with miui d2ext, 2500)

I know it's not always related to the real perfomarnce, in fact I find some Sense ROMs nearly as fast as AOSP, but I wonder why there's so much difference.
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
1. If you use the 387mb hboot version , you will definetly don't need the supercharger script .. believe me its superfast.

2. Benchmarks dont say anythin... This rom is faster then AOSP roms for me , and believe me , i tried miui and cyanogenmod , they had some lag.. but i got no lag at all wit this rom and its extreme fast , even with d2ext! ;D

[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
yeah, I know it's fast, I'm running it :P But I always want to try little tweaks to see if it improve something...
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
Hello ;-)

I switched from "Alex-V 1.6 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext HBOOT normal" to "Alex-V 1.7 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext S-off - 387 mb HBOOT system".

I restored the application and system data with Titanium Backup but I lost all widget ....

I tried with MyBackup Pro is the same.

I obviously changed the HBOOT.

I struggled to restore my 217 apps. I had to do it several times because Titanium stopped himself.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Wew.. 217 app.. :P

It happen to me too..

So i try to restore it 30-40 app per batch.

It takes some time but believe me, it's all worth it.. :)

And i dont know about the widget.. Sorry..

Edit: maybe try to not restore system data...

Hi Alex,

I can not add the second account for gmail...

I added (for 3 times), and after finish tutorial nothing happend...

Any idea ?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] booce:
I'd do a full wipe then reflash then a user apps restore titanium then set the rest of the phone up manually. This worked for me and My phone is a stable as a Rock.

[Desire Android Development] booce:
Try uninstalling gmail then reinstalling it.

[Desire Android Development] KaspaII:
Yes, thx... after uninstall gmail update the second account is working..
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Ok, interesting observation on the 387 hboot data2ext version of the ROM. Boot time with all apps on internal is 7.22. With all apps on Sd boot time is 4.41. I'd rather keep the apps in internal but prefer the quick boot of sd. Any idea why there's such a difference?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
App on sd means on FAT32 sd?

Don't know for sure, but maybe the script exclude the app that store on sdcard. But maybe im wrong..

Store app on FAT32 sd is not a good idea.. :P

But nice finding from you booce..
[Desire Android Development] billyJ:
Probably removing ext checking from init.d script will speed thinlgs up. But i am not sure which is safep to delete.

Hi Alex,

is there a way to check the hboot version?

I tried to flash your Rom with 387hboot, but had some Problems.

more on HTC-dev..

thanks
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
put your phone in fastboot mode , and look at the top what it is sayin , if it says 387mb it should be fine , what does it say now??

btw if you got cm7r2 hboot , flash the hboot downgrader first and then the custom hboot, then it will work (:

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep...wrote the same for some min on htc dev :)
[Desire Android Development] Bubuu:
ok,

Hboot-6.93.1002 ?

still the same than before.

But Andoid flasher told me that the hboot flash was finished?
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Alex,

have you ever considered to make an full sense 3.0 rom ;o? but then with the saga base? ;o

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i´m very interested in it...but i not now what cool have changed if it really work...as i have the same problems as michael and cool (reloading screen and btw. or no symbols..maybe other egl libs or so...

so if i make it (not a date yet...much real work..it will be a copy) (with permission) with my settings as odexed and other things...but cool and micha do a very good job on this :)

i hope that this base can be smoother as the desire hd sense 3 port...nice but not really for old desire today use

anyway...i just tried/maked a sense 3.5 complete odexed rom with amrullz sd script...faster as before but the lags...wait some time here and there.....mmhhh

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
okay sweet ;D but i still preferr sagaS port as it will be more smoother for our desire and more optimized. Cause the desireHD ports are sluggish and you can't multitask as mentioned before. And that's the same with the current sense 3.5 roms ;o

I flashed the normal HBOOT and I restored the v1.6 with EXT4 2.2.7 RC5. The widget are present.

If I return the 1.7, I'll probably lose the widget.

Do you understand why I lose the widget ?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
the normal htc widgets or 3rd party widgets...if 3rd party widgets try to change the widgets to sdcard (with settings/apps)

if htc widgets power phone off (with battery out ) and again on...i had this in the past (around for a year)

you sure have all partions..? also i have in the past problems with 4ext (but have bootloop problems) thats why i changed to rmd

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
also i will upload a normal hboot d2ext version...for a test..if you want to test..let me know i will send your tommorow a link via pm
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
normal htc widgets or 3rd party widgets: I do not know, I should have done a photo (it seems to me that the HTC widget are not lost).

I will try to move the apps that have widget to the card.

Then I will install v1.7, I restored with Titanium, then I will move apps to memory.

EDIT: The above manipulation is useless ...

I will install 1.7 and restore only the apps that have widget (WiFi Manager, SilentMode OnOff, Voice Recorder, IP Cam Viewer Pro).
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Well, this is what I've done. I have deleted the 02ramtweaks and 77tweaks from init.d, cause I think (not really sure) that they modify most of the parameters the supercharger do. I run the last supercharger script (update9_RC3.2) setting scroll speed to 1, and then multitasking (option5) Full reboot with cache and dalvik cache wiped.

With Root Tools app I noticed that the speed scrolling option set the max events per second to 75, adding a different line to build.prop, so I delete that line and left the default speed (150)

Now everything seems to be working ok, I have no lags, no freeze, the same speed and no Sense reboot. The only thing was a close (not force close) of the emulator Scumm when playing Monkey Island, but it can be related to the program itself.

If there's something strange I will let you know ;)

[Desire Android Development] Bubuu:
Hi swemoze,

i´m s-off and the flash worked well now.

The problem was, that you have to flash the "bravo downgrader" from alpharev.nl first if you have the alpharev h-boot.

After that, i flashed the 387mb h-boot for this Rom.

But maybe i have another Problem wit my SD partitions.

because now i ran out of space for apps...

titanium tells me

system-ROM 405MB / 4,14MB free

Intern 130MB / 30,2MB free

SD-Karte 13,3GB / 11,9GB free

Is that correct?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
wrote you a pm with the normal hboot test version :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
you are sure that you have all partitions..?

fat32 + 1-2gb ext4 + 0.3gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap

also...what tells the normal storage info in settings
[Desire Android Development] Bubuu:
ok, my fault!

the swap was 1,8GB :-) I resized the partitions with gparted and now the intern storage is 1,9GB/ 1,81 free.

What is the best way to restore SMS, Contacts...

I used titanium to restore only the missing Apps, that worked very well for me. To restore all Apps and user Data was not such a good idea.

And at last, i have a suggestion.

Is ist possible to delay the lockscreen? When the screen turns of and i wake the phone directly, i still have to unlock the lockscreen. In the Original Rom have a few sconds without the lockscreen.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i export my contacts to sd before i flash a rom...if you allready have a sense mix rom you can do this also with sms...dont know much about titanium as i dont use it...for app only i take my backup from market...

mmhh..sorry not know the thing with lockscreen...maybe a market app what can help ..?!?

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks...i will try this :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Nice that you got it working now.

From what i know, with old market max ext partition is 2GB.

And i heard if you use new market, ext partition can be more than 2GB.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
@bubu, what do you mean about the lockscreen
[Desire Android Development] Bubuu:
ok, if you write a massage at work, for example.

your Screen turns of after maybe 15sec. If you receive the answer in 15 seconds, you have to turn the phone on ( now much easier with front button instead of power button) and unlock the screen again. After the last update of the stock Rom you had maybe 1 Minute to wake the phone without the need to unlock. because you used it seconds before. That makes SENCE, doesn't it

i would love to get this feature back, because when you are in a Whatsapp chat at work, and you receive a message every few minutes. you dont have to unlock for every massage.
[Desire Android Development] DesireStein:
Hi,

I've been using 1.7 for a few days now and like it very much. Now I flashed a UOT-Mod and wiped Dalvik cache (as I was used to) and while the UOT-Mod works fine, all my applications are gone - I only see the default icons and can't start any of them. Unfortunately, I didn't do a nandroid-backup, as flashing UOT and wiping dalvik has never been a problem before.

A look on the SD-ext-partitions shows me, that both the apps and their data are still there.

Is there any chance on restoring this...?

Thanks and best regards!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Why you wipe dalvik cache for this...never did it for uot or themes...

Think flash the rom again without wipe anything should help..

Ps..a simple restart not work..?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Never happend to me...also with original rom my lockscreen hqve no delay..i make one of the shortcuts from lockscreen to whatsapp...
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I know what you mean..

The screen already turn off in a few second but if you press the track pad, it directly go to homescreen not key lock.

But as i know in sense 2.1 hybrid, i think there's no such thing.

The solution is the same like Alex said, make Whatsapp shortcut in lockscreen..
[Desire Android Development] DesireStein:
Unfortunately, neither a restart, nor flashing the ROM again helped. Even the market is not installed anymore. Any other ideas?

Edit: After flashing the rom again, I got lots of errors after boot, so I'll just wipe everything and start from scratch - my last Titanium backup is just a few days old. Sucks anyway. Maybe you could put a warning on the first post that wiping Dalvik might leed to problems with this rom... guess it's not only me.

Nevertheless, thanks for your quick response and greetings from Bonn! :-)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I don't know about data2ext, but when im using data2w..

Wiping dalvik cache never cause a problem..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i tried to clean dalvik via recovery...also no problem here on d2ext...mmhhh...

anyway...good to here that you have running again... :)
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
Finally was able to flash succesfully the Alex V_1.7_Sense_2.1+3.0_amarullz_387_hboot version. Dont know if it was because i changed the recovery i was using from amon ra to rmd recovery. Hope its faster and stable like the data2whatever version.

By the way a bit OT, if i wanna do a full wipe with rmd recovery, which stuff should i wipe? Im asking cos i was so used to choosing 'wipe all' in amon ra that when i chose this in rmd it erased my sd card. Hehe my fault for wiping without thinking first. Will 'wipe /data' also erase everything in my sd card?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah...nice :)

but no :( no wipe of my fat32 sdcard if i select wipe all ....

[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
After backreading i just wanted to confirm if only 1 ext4 is needed for the Alex V_1.7_Sense_2.1+3.0_amarullz_387_hboot version cause at the moment im using this with the fat 32 + ext4+ext4+swap partition on my sd card. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yup for amarullz script and data2w need only one ext4.

thanks! tried it with just 1 ext4 and it is really flying now.

Hi Alex,

i would like to test on BravoS.

Best regards
[Desire Android Development] ltGuillaume:
Please bear with me here, just checking if I can see the logic in this all:

This ROM is ODEXed, BUT with the A2SD+ version, almost all .odex files would still be on the SD-card (ext partition), so there's no real performance gain here versus a deODEXed ROM. The only upside, then, would be that the .apk files are smaller and thus faster to load, since they don't have classes.dex in them. Is that the only real gain (apart from less memory being used when loading .apk files perhaps)? How does this work then, what is and is not loaded into memory, i.e. does a deODEXed app need to load all contents within the .apk (including classes.dex) AND the .odex from the Dalvik cache into memory?

if you mean a2sd version...this is right....but still sure it would be faster :)

thats the ground i use the 387mb hboot with data2ext...with this the whole system is in nand...and so its faster (and use the sd-ext with the data2ext script as data partion...but this is not possible with a2sd)...i´m not a fan of system apps on sd-ext...makes the rom slower..(dalvik cache is with the dat2ext script also on sd-ext...but this is not a problem because of the odexed system apps...so only the third party app dalvik is on sd-ext)
