Alex-V 1.3 HD v2 Rom

Hi guys,

Addicted to Neo Roms, but unfortunately getting issues to flash with the last ones ( auraxtsense and reflextsense ) i tried yesterday your version 1.3 v2 and i am very happy with it.

I tried all the afternoon to change the bootanimation to scribble android v.2 because i really dont like the white htc one ( white= less battery / close to the non rooted one ) so please if someone knows how to change it...

UOT framework flashed but only managed to change the icons for the status bar ( gingerbread one).

I flashed new skins [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801928 ] which gives me what i loved on Neo roms ( transparent lock and status bar / home bar )

Alex _ thanks a lot for your hard work and your precious time on this HD Rom.

Will follow your work now !

Enjoy everyone those days in family :rolleyes:

Alex-V 1.3 HD v2 Rom

Here are the UOT cooked framework for Alex-V 1.3 HD V2 and the bootanimation "scribble android v2" i would like to add to this rom.

Does guys already tested the DHD-PowerControl_v2_without_txt on this rom ?

Does someone knows how to make it as a rom zip file please ?

Thanks for your time and your attention.

I wish you all a great day :D

I finally flash your ROM with format and mount SD EXT via clockworkmod recovery.

Full WIPE, full format SD...

And unfortunately I have the same problems with starting many programs (e.g market)..:confused:

And I have SD card class 10...

edit:

I made a factory reset and I have still the same issue.

First thanks for using :)

for bootanimtion change....use this Patch to symlink bootanimation to data/local

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
this is only the bootanimation....but thanks for :)

change the name to bootanimation.zip and copy over the old in System/customize/resource ...should work

Ad-hoc Patch?

Excellent ROM! Really fast. Took ages for first boot, but works fine now.

Just a quick question, any chances of adhoc network patch that goes with this ROM? I know there are a few lying around, but I don't want to mess with it and ruin my wifi altogether :)

Great job.
[Desire Android Development] bigga29:
So FAR so GOOD at firts i have hard time but now it seems like an excellent rom.

Can we get weather sense 3.0
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Alex, I know one of your objectives is to keep your ROM clean and close to stock, but can I please request a file manager of some sort to be either built in or flashable from recovery (if such a thing is possible)? It would really save time when rebuilding or installing your ROM for the first time. I have Titanium backups and the titanium APK on my SD card but if I'm not near a PC I can push a file manager to the phone with, I have to log in to google and the phone goes mad downloading all the missing apps/contacts etc.

If I had a file manager, it would be simple to skip the inital setup, install titanium, do a full restore, reboot the phone and be all done.

I know it's a minor inconvenience, but file managers are essential for people who play around with their phones like we do :-)

Thanks for the great ROM, it's in daily use on my phone.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Hehe thx..will look if i have time :)

Sent from my Htc Desire with Sense 2.1 + 3.0
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thx :)

Sent from my Htc Desire with Sense 2.1 + 3.0
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Easiest workaround is edit the rom zip with winrar and add file manager of your choice to data/app

But yes a good idea :)

Sent from my Htc Desire with Sense 2.1 + 3.0
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Awesome! Thanks Alex, I'll get on that now, I didn't know that that was all it took. Thanks for taking the time to help me out and improve my education in all things Android :-)

edit* Now I know how to do it, is there a danger in putting too much in that folder? Will it fail if I stuff it full of apps (too little space on system before data2ext kicks in type of problems)?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I suppose that Alex-V knows it better, but I think that you shouldn't put more than 40mb (if you are using the 387 hboot) or 147 (if you are using stock)

The /data folder in the zip goes to the /data partition in your hboot, so you can't overfill it

(that is what I suppose, but not really sure)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Thanks blackhawk_LA , I guessed that that was the case, but with the addition of the magical App2Ext I wasn't sure if that got around the problem. I'll limit myself to a choice 18MB of extra apps I think :-)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I think it will goes to internal memory, and it means to data2ext internal memory.

Cmiiw.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
At this time blackhawk is right:

you shouldn't put more than 40mb (if you are using the 387 hboot) or 147 (if you are using stock)

it have to do with the internal partitions So the 387mb hboot have more space on system and less in data and for data for apps after install is first sdext...

in normal hboot you have more space on internal data...but symlinks for original system files (stored in sd-ext and symlink back to system/app)

so if you take the version with 387mb system you should have a bit more memory as in normal d2ext version....

i think the version with 387mb hboot system is a little bit faster because of no symlöinks...but it can also be personal thinking

---------------------

Also i have found why boot takes so long...in next version its better..now i have a good tip from bliss rom with newer egl libs..hope speed will be a bit more better ;)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Wow thanks for all that great information Alex. I've now added a few of my favorite apps to your ROM and tested it out, works perfectly :-) Great news on the new version and the improved boot times too.

I love this ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
nice that its working for you :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Got an odd problem with the ROM. Clean build, (wiped data and caches), clean partioning of SD card (4 parts, 1 fat32, 2x ext4 1xswap), Install the ROM as normal. Boot as normal. Titanium restore of user apps only. Manually set up the rest of the ROM. All seems fine execpt that the XDA app won't notify anymore, Plants and zombies always disappears on a reboot and my google maps traffic widgets always corrupt after a reboot. Everything seems to run fine and I can reinstall PvZ and remove and readd the traffic widgets, but why does it happen on every reboot?

I've been through this process a couple of times now always with the same results. Anyone got any ideas?

*edit* Okay, the traffic widgets stayed after removing and replacing them. PvZ stays now that I have moved it to the SD card. Still not getting XDA to notify of new posts, but I can live with that.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
try to delete the zipallaign script in system/etc/init.d for deleted or corrupt apps..its the only thing i can think of
[Desire Android Development] booce:
XDA Notifications Bug

Ah....Feeling stupid now :( Went back to a previous version of XDA and my notifications are back. Nothing wrong with your ROM at all, the XDA app is bugged. Not sure what was going on with the traffic widgets and plants vs zombies, but all is working perfectly now.

Thanks for your help yet again Alex.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
he he..nice to hear :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Alex, there are some points need your help!

1. The system screen unlock pin only support 16 digital, but the exchange rule required 18 digital. Is there any way to fix it?

2. How to update the system embedded software, like busybox or other? during the update, busybox required S-Off. Other, looks system storage is reduced.
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
hrm...flashed the data2ext version and im getting a bootloop. What could be causing this? i have s-off, stock hboot, fat32 + 1gb ext4 +.3gb ext4 +.1gb swap. the 'quick_fix_for_bootloop_snq_kernel_1.6_hd' doesnt seem to be working for me.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
hello :)

1. dont think there is a fix for it...(but i dont try it with unlock pin..how was this in froyo..? maybe if you want i can post the original lockscreen..but you loose the ring)

2. for in system thinks like busybox you should be s-off...or post me the files and i make a update zip (to flash with..in recovery)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
try: Fat32 + 1-2gb ext4 + 0.3gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap..

also what version you flashed..? What recovery you use..and what program for partitions..

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
This was the version that i flashed Alex-V_1.6_odexed_GB_Sense_HD_d2ext. Was on stock hboot, I used gparted to make my partition with fat32 first, then had 1.1gb ext4 followed by 0.3gb ext4 and lastly 0.1gb linux-swap. Im using amonra 2.0.1 recovery. Hope to try this rom out again. Thanks for your attention.
[Desire Android Development] shujaswati:
Installed it few hours ago and i must say, its stable, fast and eye candy :D

I Installed it on only 1gb EXT3 no more partitions.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
It gets quicker and more stable if you partition it as AlexV says :)
[Desire Android Development] shujaswati:
big fat + 1-2 gb ext4 + 0.3 gb ext 4 + 0.1 gb swap?

Also ext3 or ext4 ?
[Desire Android Development] shujaswati:
Another question whats the difference b/w D2E and Data2whatEver? Does D2WE also requires the same partition approch as Alex mention in his very first post?

I'm giving a try to A2SD 1.5 deoxed version..... Ny suggestion of having free internal space for long time?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
please try again from beginning...should work...also try rmd recovery..its based on amonra but it can handle all ext partition...

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes booce is right :)

d2w(whatever)-need only one ext...d2e(ext) need the partitions i suggest..because its faster then and also safe for data lost...d2w is more safe..but also a bit slower..

more infos: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Alex-V#What_is_Alex-V

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yes , as Alex V said d2w is lil bit slower but is more stable.

How about the egl that you provide on coolexe runnymede thread, can i flash it in this rom Alex?

Thank you.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes..you can use this egl libs.. :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
i was planning on trying out the data2whatever with 387mb hboot but i read that you had to flash the bravo downgrader first. My question is if i downgraded and later on decided i want to go back to cm7r2 hboot, do i just re-flash cm7r2 or do i need to do something else? Does bravo downgrader hboot actually downgrades my hboot version?

btw just downloaded and flashed the data2whatever version for stock hboot and its working great for me. Really really fast. This feels like a keeper :-bd
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
It will not downgrade your hboot version. It only unlock the hboot from locked cm7r2.

After use the hboot downgrader you can use any hboot that you want, including if you want to back to cm7r2.

I think the 387 version is more fast than stock one..

:)
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
By the way, with a data2whatever rom is wiping cache and dalvic not allowed? Will it ruin the data2w?
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I wipe dalvik cache once and no problem..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
he he...nice that is working good for you :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Hi Alex, you mentioned a while back that you were working on a new version with faster boot times. I'm on your 387 boot 1·6 HD version and it is amazing. Faster than insert coin and more stable than super nova. The only thing that needs improvement is the boot time. Any news on the new version?

Thanks for the fantastic ROM.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
finally moved from bravo stock hboot to the 387 hboot data2w and i must say that its really a lot faster. Thanks for the great rom alex!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..sorry a bit busy @ the moment..but it will come :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
hehe...thx but for data2w a big thx to swemoza also...he made this version :)
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Hi Alex, i flashed your ROM and it's pretty cool. But somehow Swype is missing after every reboot. Why is that?

And do you recommend using a newer kernel from snq?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
first thx :)

try to move it to sdcard - or try to delete the zipalign script in system/etc/init.d and reboot should work...

if you want try a newer kernel..i use 0.8e or 0.6 kernel from bananakackes..snq should also work... :)
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
awhile ago when i tried to open a text message i suddenly got a lot of fc messages. Seemed like everything was fc'ing. Anyway i pulled the battery and turned on the phone and everything was back to normal. Any idea what might have caused those fc messages?
[Desire Android Development] Biker78:
Thank you Alex-V for this great rom, I use app2sd version and it's fantastic!

Only one question: how can I get the stock blue background in weather lockscreen?

Awsome work my friend, never give up!!!:):):)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Big thanks to you also that guide me step by step for making data2w version..

:)

And i absolutely waiting for your ROM update..

Thank you..

[Desire Android Development] jory9:
hello alex-V

i just wanted to ask you if this rom will be updated in the future?

thx in advance ;D

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
nice to hear ;) :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
1.7 will come definitely,...with or without much new things..but i have no date @the moment..because i only reduced the boot time and changed the kernel...but dont think this is enough for a update (because anyone can flash a other kernel and update ad free and such things)... but i have no problems with the rom...its sooo smooth and so on....i would like to see some people like seo and damo or so who can help to port things like quick launch widget (!! i really miss it on 2.1 rom!!) or rosie (runny or bliss 3.5) to sense 2.1...to get best of 2 or 3 worlds :)

Hi, Alex.. Just popped in to say Hi. :)
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
thx for your fast reply alex ;D

i would like to know how the speed is compared with revolution v2.0 (idk if you know ofcourse :p) if this got the same speed , i will flash it :d

[Desire Android Development] booce:
I tried revolution 1.7 and this ROM is just as quick :-)

Okay ;D thx for the feedback! ;p will be usin this as daily rom soon! ;D

@Alex-V if you need help with somethin or you want screens/vid or anythin where i can help with, ask me ;p you're a great dev as droidzone mentioned before (:

Greetz
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Never tried revolution but this ROM is fully odexed and on 387 hboot the system is all in system partition (nand) .

So, yes.. It is fast.. :)
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Okay sweet! ;D

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

how do i flash this custom 387mb hboot , can't figure it out.. even after searchin

edit: nvm found it xd dumb me :$
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I deleted the scripts from neo complete..used some newer in init.d again (juwl script)..it boot faster..but have the feeling that it is not so smooth..so i changed to his newer script but boot time is again longer..but i found it again quicker...mmhhh

he he..thx :)

i have some ideas...for use the bottom buttons from bliss rosie in rosie 2.1...hope it will work..maybe you have a idea to that..just ported the symbol in launcher to switch between all apps and most used..(found the half round ugly) maybe you have also a idea to fake the quick launch widget (i delete the background of the small digital clock and want also delete the background from the small weather widget but not find it..) to see my personal background better..but not lost the typical htc style (with 3rd party apps or so)

if all is done it would be nice if you can make me a preview screen for main rom site :)

i dont tried the revolution rom..but seems to be nice...so let me know you compare :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Alex,

Did you tried amarullz script with dalvik cache on sd?

Because with 387 hboot there is no way we can use amarullz script with dalvik cache in internal memory.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes but not with this rom...with sebastians 3.5 (because 3.5 data/data partition in 3.5 roms are other mounted[think so] still problems with original data2ext script) and i changed things in the script..so it can be used with 387mb hboot (because i dont think its good to have dalvik cache internal...we have that problem in the past...you have still free ext memory but data is full with dalvik cache so you cant install apps but sd-ext have free memory...script should also work with my rom...i can post the script in the evening if you want..?!? (it use only 1ext partition...so you can compare between data2w and new script..)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yup. Same problem with data2w in the past with dalvik cache in data.

Actually when amarullz reply your post, i want to edit the script my self, just want to compare with data2w.

But until now i still have no time to try that.

And it much appreciated if want to share amarullz edited script. :)

Maybe i have free time in next couple of week, will try it and let you know..

:)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
ok...here it is :) edited for all to ext (ready for 387mb hboot)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
edit 2: sorry dont know what it was...false alarm...but definitely faster in 1.7 ...with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
flashed v1.6 d2ext 387mb custom hboot rom , with 1.2gb ext4 and rest fat32 , workin very smooth , smoothest rom eva!! and i got 1..2gb internal memory wich is awesome 2 :p still smoother then revolution! ;D above my expectations (: Nice work alex , you are my hero ;D

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
he he...many many thx for good review :)

should be more faster if you make fat32 + 1gb ext4 + 0.3gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap

(the script use the 0.3gb ext4 for smoothnes and safety) but if all is ok for you..all is good :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Wow gonna try this now xD

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
be sure all partitions are formated [or you get a bootloop] (not the fat32) but the rest...i use rmd recovery (if you flash other roms or want my rom back) it can format all partitions not only the first

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
thx for the tip (: finally found the best rom and most reliable dev (:

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
thx again :p ;) :rolleyes: :)

i hoped that sense 3.5 can run also smooth...but think it won´t [needs more memory and a bit more speed)..real shame..as i really like it (but @this time not for daily use..)
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
no problem ;D and as i allready said , if you need help with anythin , you can ask me :p and i did all steps you said and indeed it runs alot faster , this is just crazy ;o

greetz
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
lol :)

yeah..if you have some time in next days..a preview screen for first page (maybe with..and without theme) and a banner like yours would be nice for the first time :)

now i go to bed...must work in the morning :)

[Desire Android Development] jory9:
will work on it ;D and gdnight (:
