Guys, time to play with EXT4? :D I think we got two ROMs LD and AR fully EXT4 now. I think i'll go with AR. I might play around this weekend.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Let me add CD as well. :)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Oh, sorry about that. :) Any significant jump in performance? :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
I can keep saying that it's uber fast with LD's latest kernel but you just have to try it to feel it. Battery consumption is running @ 1-3% on idle. It's everything on TBF plus eye candy and custom kernel. :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Yup Asus Transformer and Acer Iconia are choices as well.. :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
TBF 1.0.1 is amazing. I just changed the weather sounds to original... Cuts are too long.

My TBF settings guide:

Flash full rom

Wipe Dalvik and Batt stats

Boot

Flash addons:

- Fusion Transparent app drawer

- Fusion Pack (to get the QS mod and better usb connection menu screen)

- Green Gingerbread Icons

- Stock weather sounds

- Scroll Fix for GB

Wipe Dalvik

Boot and enjoy :-)

Optional: adb push boot and down animation, then reboot...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I'd love to but formatting my new card on EXT4 will be a nightmare... backing up the original card contents when I switched took a lot of time on top of formatting it to EXT3. :eek: I'll just wait for TBF to transition... lol
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Well, not planning to include my card :) Card stays at FAT32 then everything else is EXT4 :D

EDIT:

Playing with LD now. There seems to be a problem with the Sense 3.0 weather. I kept on losing weather data. Other than that, it's one fast ROM on EXT4.

EDIT:

Same problem with AR. Will settle back to LD without Sense 3.0 weather

EDIT:

Solved: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> HTC weather sync provider -> Clear Data
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I see, as I understood the whole EXT4 concept, formatting your card as well will make a real difference in app management and read/write speeds... :-)

Is the 720p video lag gone with EXT4? Still skeptical with it since its even numbered :P
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Hmmm interesting. I'll stay with FAT32, i don't really do much video recording anyway :D

This is interesting :D posted on Lee's thread
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Could be explained simply by excessive ORD :p

These ones are from TBF:

Question: seo, is ext4 worth using it or not? I thing it's doable with your rom too, but i don't know if it's worth it...
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
EXT4 is still a bit of a hassle right now. I need to edit old flashable zips to make it mount to EXT4 while flashing. And especially now other CHEFs really doesn't seem to care :D. What's happening now is that both mike and lee need to modify their flashable mods for EXT4. But it was a good day exercise.

I settled for LeeDrOid since i needed only to flash one mod. Kinda a all-in-one seo mod :D. I can say its a bit smoother than TBF with the same kernel. But can't really say its because of EXT4. It could be the highly optimized LeeDrOid over the almost stock TBF. Or maybe a little bit of both.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
It was indeed a nice exchange over at LD with the EXT4 issue.

No doubt Lee is still the king of kernels. I tried Apache's and MDJ's on TBF, lockups and battery pulls...

I have yet to try Lee's soon, not for the OC performance but more on the optimization and battery efficiency...
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Had my very first battery pull ever last night on stock TBF.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
:eek: oh no...!?! No custom kernel I suppose? Addons?
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Only added the Green GB icons and the Add-on Package. No custom kernel.

Bigla lang nag hang.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
You'll get used to it :D I'm a master now of pulling the battery :D

Yeah, it was unfortunate since at one point, Apache's kernel was based on Lee's. This was the time the official source was'nt released yet.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I see... I'm glad that hasn't happened to me on TBF so far using stock kernel. Here are the things that helped me and might help you too:

- Use Cache mate after heavy use (Games, browsing etc. Free from the market)

- Rebooting and wiping Dalvik through CWM at least once every 24-48 hours.

- Unchecked SetCpu to set on boot. (there might also be profiles causing issues)

- Removed 3rd party task killers

- Removed apps that don't quite work and I don't use (Tap Tap App, Amazon Appstore etc.)

:D

Be careful with that dude, batt pulls aren't healthy in the long run... adb reboot is much better if you're near your computer, works even on SOD ;)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Thanks for the tip. You mean even the screen froze, i can still do that?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, as long as its recognized, you can still use commands :-)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Perfect! :)

Just found out LD has the same SMS/MMS search function problem that i had :(

I think i'll try CoreDroid tonight :D

Damn, i'm all over the place now
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Isn't that caused by the IO patch? If you flashed it, try the rom without it and see if it'll work...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Just tried LD 311 kernel + call recorder (from TBF OP)

Performance on UI navigation is noticeably faster, balanced frequencies on wake up and seem to be okay on battery... Just 5 hours in. Will observe further. Won't stay on Smartass though.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Indeed, damn IO patch!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Benefit with consequences :-)

Btw OT, anyone know a store where I could buy a Momax, KAI or Capdase matte screen protector around Makati? DW's anywhere are out of stock... I'm planning to carry the DHD naked for a while.

I was inspired to do that after holding a friend's brand new Incredible S, its wafer thin plus nice paint surface paired with black painted speaker grill... Not bad for 23k :-) samoled isn't that great though...
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Just don't go for that I-Shield thingy. That thing is just plain ugly :D not to mention the price.

What do you think of this qHD screen of the Sensation? They said its now just a step back from the iPhone's retina display? And also a gorilla glass right? :D
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Tested CoreDroid last night yes, it was so fast. But the ROM formatted everything including data even if my data was already on ext4 :( I wasn't ready to go over titanium once again for the second time in two days :D Switched back to LD as soon as i got the fix for my SMS search thingy.

btw, congrats to redlinux for making the CoreDroid team. Way to go dude! :) Just drop us a thing or two about CoreDroid developments from time to time.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Hey, glad to know you had time to try CD. We are almost at the end of testing CoreDroid v6.6 which brings some bug fixes like MMS and Market issues. It also has compressed APKs and some adjustments made by Sergio. :)

PS: Sorry about the ROM formatting everything in your EXT4. The new v6.6 shouldn't do that anymore and there will be a separate utility from the CoreDroid Team for you to flash to format your file system to EXT4 if you haven't had done that.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
The retina display is a cheat IMO, higher resolution on a smaller screen. I like the qhd display + contoured gorilla glass :-) 3D is better...

Btw, no news on the screen protector?
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Sorry Dude! Can't help you on this one :D Sometimes i wish for an Asgard beaming technology :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That's alright, I just ordered from eBay.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
I think I might have to order some accessories too as I am looking forward to be selling my DHD soon. Darn that HTC Sensation that I'm so tempted to Pre-Order. :eek:
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, I actually need a screen protector because my girlfriend doesn't wanna use the OB. Getting ready for the Sensation as well... He he...
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Is it confirmed that it can be rooted?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Not sure but I have total confidence on our favorite devs...

Yikes, I think someone is starting to like the incredible s... I might end up buying that for her and end up with the DHD...
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
I think ladies will like the incredible s/desire s more since its smaller and about the same size as the iPhone.

I think the 4.3 inch screen is the perfect size for me :) Anything bigger is just too big and anything smaller is just too small LOL
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Bro I live in manila.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
But there is an HTC Philippines, right? They even had a launch event for the DHD and DZ with Rhian Ramos as the endorser.

[Desire HD General] armen16:
If its totally alright with you, can I contact you and ask you help when I get the phone? I don't want to mess it up. But if you are too busy I would understand.

Yeah there is a HTC store in SM Annex.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
True, but the thing to consider would be Samsung makes great hardware. That Hummingbird proc is still top notch even after being released a good 6 months or so.

Software side, I agree they lack a LOT. But that's what xda is for. And releasing an international model, localized models and models to the 4 large carriers of the US make a pretty epic dev community. Without this community, SGS = ****.

How I wish Samsung stuck with hardware and got HTC software instead. Although HTC makes great hardware as well, Samsung just beats it by a bit. (Judging the unit as a whole and not part by part.)

These comparisons are invalid in real world use. They are both great phones and you could go with either one. I was just comparing for the sake of comparison.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
The staff of that store can't even set up an APN; even had the guts to tell me that the carrier supports only the HTC Hero and not the HTC Desire. Smart phone vendors.. oh the irony.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
Not only that. First of all they don't know much about their own products. They learn after hundreds of people complaining. They should have a meeting or some kind for some learning about what does this and that phone does. Its also hard to just memorize the phone specs from the box it won't be that useful

By the way I think I added you. Not sure if its right.
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Just pm me when u have the phone.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
Thanks a lot I appreciate your effort.

I also used the thanks button. :)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Which is better the SanDisk you guys talking about or this Kingston? I don't know anything about SD cards XD
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
overall, I'd go for SanDisk.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Thanks mate! :)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Apparently, HTC Philippines is being handled by a company/shop called Berlien or something. They, practically, don't have anything in stock and no accessories. To me, this shop is very sloppy and does absolutely nothing to promote the brand. You can even get better support from other retailers.

All these comments come from my experience when buying a Desire. Their shop is not worth the trip to north EDSA.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
I agree, there was a time when I asked them something about the spec of a phone and they gave me the wrong info. The reason for me asking was to know if they actually know their product. Jeez, people...
[Desire HD General] mhiroq:
Hehe i went to the digital walker at eastwood they don't yet have a case for DHD

:(
[Desire HD General] mhiroq:
guys, anyone here experienced using WaveSecure to their DHD? i want to know if its a good app?
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
guys, is there an app that I can download to know what app is killing my battery?
[Desire HD General] ippo21:
You can start with the battery information in the phone itself. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery Use
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Be careful...

I'd agree rooting can be very easy if your DHD is still on 1.32 (stock 2.2 Froyo), if its on 1.72/1.75 (2.2.1) when you bought it or have since upgraded OTA and haven't rooted before, you may have to read more about downgrading the FW before anything else.

It is technically easy to obtain root via Visionary+ at the same time, installing CWM Recovery is very tricky so reading up on it and holding off till you are very confident and understand what could happen is key.

For those who are planning on rooting their DHDs and are on a new FW:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

(You may be wondering what the heck this all means, its just like the iPhone/Touch jailbreaking situation where users are advised to hold off upgrading to a new version till a new exploit is found. Android may be open source but HTC is also killing the scripts that allow people to install custom firmware with their new updates...)

Hope it helps! :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
For all SetCPU users...

Hi guys, I'd like to share my SetCPU settings and profiles for my DHD... Performance is hyper fast and a good balance for battery life on a stock 1.32 ROM (2.2).

Other tips:

Set fast window animation from Spare Parts app (found in Market)

Cheers!
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Hmmm..things should change nowadays. They should be the ones buying us something not us buying them. LOL...seriously it'll rupture ur pocket at times. Hehehe..
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, the size was the selling point... I guess I'll just wait for q4, wont sell the DHD :-)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I wish that was the case... Come to think of it, it was. Right around the first few months. Lol
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Dude, looked like CD changed kernel from Lee to MDJ. What's this new video drivers? :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
There is now the new camera feature "Panorama" and "HDR". Changing the kernel will break the video.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Then Lee responded with a new kernel :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I, for one, am waiting for the release of Honeysense v1.5. :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Yup..it works fine with the new CoreDroid v6.6 keeping the video contents intact. :)
[Desire HD General] chardd23:
guys which is the best.

casemate pop, casemate barelythere or otterbox commuter?
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
There's nothing like Otterbox. :)
[Desire HD General] chardd23:
do you know where i can buy authentic otterbox here in manila?
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
There were postings here in the past for those rare Otterboxes. As I'm not a native from Manila, we would need to ask help from Junta/Jacob/Tim.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Is it possible for an un-themed CD? In my case, i prefer the stock look :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
The way things were done before was Sergio releases the Eye Candy and the Stock follows but that was way before Froyo versions. I believe it will stay with the skinned one. At least that was really the original objective; to make a themed ROM.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I saw some at greenhills.. I don't recall the exact shop though.. I like my DHD like my women.. IYKWIM.
[Desire HD General] lampz:
dp we need to use the ext4 cleaner fullwipe

or just flash the room agad? COREDROID?
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Specific for CoreDroid v6.6 EXT4, use the CoreDroid EXT4 Format Utility attached.
[Desire HD General] lampz:
done and thanks!

downloading the 6.6

:D

can i dl the 6.6.1? bwahahaha!

link? >P
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Hehehe..I wish I could. Di bale..i think v6.6.1 will be released sooner than usual.
[Desire HD General] lampz:
hahaha

whats new?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
There's a shop at Greenhills in the theater mall that sells otterbox wall to wall. It's a corner shop with not too far away from infomaxx. The other members couldn't find the models they wanted, though, but maybe they have more variety now.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I've seen some a few weeks ago at the 3rd floor of Glorietta 3, I think its called the Hub...
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
At SM North Annex 4th floor theres a stall called Otterbox.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Honeysense in less than 24 hours woohoo. :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Did you? Flyer? Sensation? :eek:

Or is it the Honeysense ROM? :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
ROM. :)

Evo 3D to have locked-down bootloader

If HTC implements this lockdown properly, then it is almost impossible to crack. This technology has still no known attacks against it.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I'm thinking of switching to WP7/WebOS or if the iPhone 5 is nice, I'd take that.

I'd reserve Android for my tablet though.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Well..the EVO 3D described is the CDMA one with Sprint. Besides, HTC is still considering some petitions from avid fans not to lock it. Either way..I think I'd still be using HTC phones by then. Hehehe..
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
At the last part of the column, it said the same technology can be found on Sensation, DROID 2, and DROID X.

Bad HTC!
[Desire HD General] chardd23:
how much is the commuter?

is P.2100 OPed?
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I can't wait any longer.. I'm flashing Honeysense NAO!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Looks promising :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That sounds fair enough...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Its alright, I think its a minor setback for devs but there will be a way sooner or later. Good thing I'm not getting rid of the DHD, I regret letting go of my HD2 so never again :D
[Desire HD General] PH_750:
Hello all

I'm having some problems with Sync with HTC Friendstream and People (Phonebook).

My contacts would update with their FB Status but the picture won't update.

But if I remove the FB account from Accounts and Sync in settings and create my login for friendstream again, then the pictures would update. Only the following syncs wont.

Currently using LD GB Rom.. any experiences with this?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I've experienced the same with stock and most custom roms except for the older RCMixHD version which had a patch that fixes it...
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
ANYONE WHO HAS A SPARE OTTERBOX COMMUTER OR DEFENDER FOR DHD? IM LOOKING TO BUY ONE FOR P1500.. just let me know... :D
[Desire HD General] PH_750:
I only had this issue after LD GB Rom. Stock Froyo and LD Froyo work well..

Honey Sense is soooooooooo fast. :D
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
any more details? :D
[Desire HD General] kuklux:
Guys try this app chainfire3D

What app can do to our dhd?

We can play THD games like

Vengeance ll

Pinball

PVZ

fruit ninja

Gorillian bob

All of the THD games work perfectly on our device

THD= tegra HD
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Not anymore...:) LINK
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Great news!
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
This HoneySense is intriguing :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I love the new look. :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
The more you say that honeysense is great the more I want to downgrade and Root my baby hahahaha :D I'm tired of stock -_-; I get a lot of hiccups.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
One thing I noticed about Honeysense though, is that unlike other ROMS.. (I've tried a whole bunch..) which when a program force closes, you'd have to restart the program.. (such as MMS or phone.. etc.), Honeysense seems to restart it on its own. Which is great since I've often encountered a bug which renders my Messaging app useless because when you open it, your inbox is blank. I resorted to using the Fast Reboot App which restarts all the programs and not your phone.

Haven't used it once in Honeysense.. and it's been used A LOT to the point that getting that error already seems normal to me. :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Sharing...

Sensational :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Sounds very promising indeed... If only they had it in green :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
+1000 (infiniti) to Chainfire... he single-handedly made the HD2's old WM6.X UI smooth as silk. I'll try some of the other THD apps but I've managed to run Ninja Kaka THD on the DHD without it :)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
I like blue :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I like red. :D
[Desire HD General] mach0boi:
MDJ's Vivo too :D This is the only ROM that satisfied me that much and I havent done a full wipe since switching to this ROM, and trust me, I almost flashed all of them :p Honeysense for me is much like ARHD or Leedroid with he_sthone HONEYCOMB THEME :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] marvdmartian:
Hey guys! I currently have a Touch Pro 2, but I just bought a new Desire HD from the states and it's going to arrive in the next few weeks! And I've been reading a lot in these forums. I guess the first thing I'll do when it gets here is to root it, install a custom ROM.

Aside from that do you have any advice for a first time DHD user? This will be my first Android phone.

I also plan to calibrate the battery once it gets here. I'm also looking around for a good case. Can you recommend me one? I read around that some cases affect the GPS and WiFi reception. Which case doesnt do this?

And on my Touch Pro 2, I have Garmin Mobile installed, and turn-by-turn navigation works wonderfully! There are so many POIs, and it's just perfect. What's the counterpart on the DHD?

I can't wait for my DHD to arrive! As early as now I'm already reading through the forums so that I would know what to do when it gets here.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Congratulations! Almost everything you need is in the forums so reading while waiting is good :-)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
TBF 1.1.5 is awesome without any custom kernels... I've tried all Fusionized ones from the OP with stutters galore.

The Black Ring is a cool addition too... :-)

Seems almost all of us found a home in different ROMs. Wonder what TNN and the others will stick with...?
[Desire HD General] marvdmartian:
Thanks! One thing I couldnt find in the forums is what turn-by-turn navigation app works well here in the Philippines. Particularly in Cebu. Garmin for Windows Mobile does pretty well, and I'm actually expecting better with the Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I agree, sadly the Locations map isn't updated yet. I get nothing when I go to Cebu just the greater Metro Manila areas. With Garmin though, the img file is custom made by a Filipino and there are forums out there that allows access to even more detailed maps if you sign up as a contributor. Your best bet would be to purchase TomTom for Android and find a detailed map file. There might be others out there too... I've just given up looking :)
[Desire HD General] marvdmartian:
Really? So it's not as easy as I thought it would be. I thought Google Maps would play a role in having a very good navigation system. There's no program for android that can use Garmin's maps? I don't want to feel like I downgraded phone.
