coolexe i can tell you from my beta test that its definitely worth looking into...

now i deleted some more apps and i have 15 mb free storage now still have 40 apps installed......

how about as a beta testing rom you make one with minimal apps .... stuff like htc locations and games like teeter and all removed and also if in someway we can give 20mb of cache partition to data partition or if we can have a custom HBoot... it be very nice :D
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
Look in the initrd.gz root ramdisk and the init.rc file where /cache is set up and mounted on every boot. You would need to modify it to create a symlink for say /system/sd/cache to /cache or similar .. :)

However this is not worth doing anyway as we are not able to arbitrarily resize the NAND partitions. There would also be a major lag/slowdown when installing apps or upgrading from the market if the /cache were on sd.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
I'd rather not touch cache partition. We have still plenty free space on data partition which can be used for dalvik-cache. This is for speed. But if user requires more free space, he can use data2ext.
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
150M for /data is not enough for me personally, the rom should use darktremor's a2sd as you can select on the fly via adb or terminal emulator whether to put any of apps/dalvik onto the SD as well as tune the heap size etc.
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
I can install v1,v2 and v3 no problems but v4 always gets stuck on the initial splash screen and never gets to the boot animation screen. All other kernels I have tried over the Cool HD v4 rom cause bootloops at the initial splash screen.
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
Ok I found the problem .. :D

Not sure about the Z ROM as I use the HD ROM but the problem is in the updater-script for v4 it does not install the boot image properly. see the differences below.

v3 updater script looked like this..

ui_print("-Installing Boot...");
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

ui_print(" ");
ui_print("-Installation Completed");

Whereas the v4 updater script looks like this ..

ui_print("-Installing Boot...");
format("MTD", "boot");
run_program("/xbin/busybox/mkdir", "/boot");
mount("MTD", "boot", "/boot");
package_extract_file("boot.img","/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot");
delete("/tmp/boot.img");

ui_print(" ");
ui_print("-Installation Completed");

I manually installed the boot image via fastboot cmd..

>fastboot flash boot boot.img

and v4 came up no problems at all.. :)

The custom partition layout offer from AlphaRev for our new sense roms is long standing:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8703428&postcount=2727
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
I just saw the post and yes it looks very promising . But that post looks really old and since there is no partition table for sense hd Rom on alpha rev website .... does that mean it was never considered ?
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
The biggest app o have installed so far is Adobe air and that's 6mb . So 20mb is more than adequate in my opinion and plus when cm7 partition uses 5 mbps cache why cant we use 20 mbps cache and move 20 mb to data partition ....
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
So will you insert that into version 5?

Deleting scaling and move David cache?

Tomorrow I'll go s-off.

I can do that with this Rom wright?
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
No... its just for testing....

HD v5 is completed now working on Z v5...

It's just a new method for writing boot.img file....hehehe
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
you can try that with the zip file coolexe posted..... as long as you have more than 105mb free on data partition.... just clear dalvik cache and install the zip and off you go :)
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
when do you plan to upload v5 hd? and also is it using 1.84 base like robocik version?
[Desire Android Development] Ricardo89:
when i am using the ext4 alignment my phone won't boot.. It only shows the htc logo and no bootloops. I waited 10minutes.

I use coutts kernel because i had bootloops with V4. I don't have S-OFF.

I have one EXT4 partition and i use Data2SD.

This is what i did:

Flashed alignment

then flashed Cool HD V4

After that i flashed couttstech-2.6.32.28_OC1190_BFS_VR_SLQB

Without reboot i flashed A2SD remover cool

Then rebooted and didn't finished the setup but rebooted into recovery.

I flashed the Data2SD intaller and rebooted. But still the HTC logo without bootloops.

I did the whole thing again but without the alignment and now it's working.

But how do i check if the DATA2SD is working correctly now.

Internal phone memory shows 756mb available

Sorry for my bad english
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
No don't use the new base.

It's caused on my desire here in Germany a big failure.

Weather widget weren't sync anymore. :(
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
Hopefully to see Cool HD v5 tomorrow. :)

Would be really nice.

I hope really that the kernel bug is solved. :D

Also that the boottime is even faster, would be really nice. :)

Q.:

Somebody know how to edit/create an own skin?

Not a theme! a skin.apk

[Desire Android Development] m4jkee:
HTC Desire (Bravo if you want), stock radio, 6class 4GB card, 2 partitions (fat32+512ext4) running Cool HD v4... sometimes a bit laggy when trying to do some stuff with market. something like download or uninstall etc.. but still around 1800 points in quadrant.. good work..

Q is: Does really WIFI increase performance button work? And how exactly it works?
[Desire Android Development] m4jkee:
try data2ext.. i've got simillar issues with data2sd.. data2ext work with 2 partitions (which i have).. and it is not even bad :)
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
I must be missing something because I don't see any option to arbitrarily assign custom partition sizes in your referenced links??? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
Yes but you cannot write a raw image to a mounted filesystem/partition ...

:cool:
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
r u sure...ok this time i use old syntax...
[Desire Android Development] onlznet:
hi

when do you plan to upload cool Z v5 ?
[Desire Android Development] Lorthirk:
Excuse me guys, I have two problems with this rom (otherwise great, I must say):

1- I'd like to install Launcher2 in order to get the stock Froyo backgrounds in the background picker, but it simply won't. I get the apk from another rom (Leedroid 2.3d for what it's worth) but it simply says: Application not installed. What am I doing wrong?

2- I cooked a theme zip in order to get circular battery indicator from the theme kitchen. I only include the battery indicator and a set of custom smiles, leaving every other setting, and selecting Cool Z 4.0 as a standard framework-res, but when I flash it I go in boot loop. Again, what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for the help.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hi,

ok check out Cool HD v5...n tell me its working or not...

Does your script move dalvik-cache to data permanently? Because I can see it in both places.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
u mean this script..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11263254&postcount=858

dalvik-cache to data is permanently.

just clear dalvik-cache first n then install it...
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
I did that.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
right now little busy...change log after some time...
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
Can we still use the a2sd remove and data2sd script with v5? Is it fixed somehow cause I could not get it to work on v4

Downloading now hehe
[Desire Android Development] Prema:
He offered to make us a custom hboot with partition sizes of our choice, but he got no reply of what is required for our hd/z roms...yet.
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
I love the rotating faces in faves in the RCStouch Rom. Can you put it in this Rom please.. or tell me how to do it.....
[Desire Android Development] ascot17:
Installed Cool Z v4 yesterday with data2ext.

Followed the 2nd post instructions and all working well first time (full wipe coming from Cool Z v2).

Seems a little laggy sometimes, but probably quicker than Zv2 (and got 1831 on Quadrant - Class 10 SD card).
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hi,

Both v5 updated on OP... check out...n now d2sd working fine, check 2nd post...
[Desire Android Development] b_lok:
I got stuck on the HTC boot screen after flashing the Cool HD v5 and A2SD remove.

How can i get the Data2SD working? I tried on Cool HD v4 but still doesn't work.

Thank you very much for your effort :)
[Desire Android Development] gafi:
Tried flashing v4 (again, no luck). It says "install ok", but when i push back on my desire, the menu with reboot option will not show. Anyone? Tried with CWM 3.0.0.5, and CWM 2.5.0.7 ...
[Desire Android Development] CoreTec1:
Does v5 include a different apn list? With v4 my provider settings were added automaticly, but now i had to add it manually (german o2).
[Desire Android Development] mbrouns:
Repartitioned the SD card (in my case 16GB / class 10)

Did the required alignment on ext4 and thereafter I flashed Cool Z v5

(did not remove A2SD though)

But, no luck: stuck on boot screen!

Then I flashed a new kernel: Ziggy471 Beta Kernel BRAVO BFS HAVS 21 Jan 11

(as proposed in modaco.com under htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/331460/r10-rip-how-to-move-on-tutorial)

Still: no luck.

Is there another kernel I can try?? Or is the problem elsewhere?
[Desire Android Development] mbrouns:
Hey...!!! Hope I got it working...

Issue: I found that the SD-EXT part kept being corrupted after flashing the ROM.

I re-ran the Ext4-alignment zip, wiped the card (now without errors while wiping)

and guess what: I got to the HTC quietly brilliant screen.

As this is a first boot, I guess this could take a few minutes....

EDIT: few minutes down, still HTC quietly brilliant screen... Worrying the corrupted Ext-partition was due to taking out battery while in previous boot-loop

Anyone..?

EDIT2: YESSS! its booted!!! One question: is the A2SD equal to A2SD+ (as in Apps PLUS Dalvic to Ext-4) ??
[Desire Android Development] davebugyi:
Yes, it is.
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
what is the diff btw flashable_data2ext.zip and the data2sd? Am I only flash in either step?
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
for the previous Z-rom, i also have the same problem, then I flash into LeeDriod's 2.2f kernal. Then the problem is solve
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
Yeah but shouldn't we be possible to choose our own kernel?

But you can't with this ROM. :(

And in RCMix HD 3 weather isn't syncing.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hi,

Don't know why some users have bootloop or kernel prob. But its only for s-on users, S-off users doesn't have this prob.

Baadnews Rom also have similar prob. just taking to baadnews for solving this issue.
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
okay, saw new a2sd script and tried this again with HDv5...

YES, finally got it to work!!!

no FC.s and the boot is much faster also

restoring as we speak

great job!:D:D
[Desire Android Development] ascot17:
I am currently on Zv4 (data2ext). If I want to upgrade to v5 (data2ext) do I need to flash the flashable_data2ext.zip again after the Coolexe ROM.......??
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
Is it hard to go S-off?

AlphaRev Thread says that I have to go on a Stock ROM?

So I have to go back to my old ROM?

Or could I do that with Cool HD v5 too?

I'm afraid of bricking my phone @.@
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Since you are using A2SD version, you can go S-OFF with Cool Z. Just download tool, burn it, then boot into it and follow instructions. It isn't harder than rooting.

Note: Tool will request root, so be sure you are watching you phone to allow it.
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
With Cool Z? Not HD? :D

Okay.

I'll try it. Really hope that everything go wright.

So download the ISO and burn it to a CD?

Then I'm booting on it, plug my Desire and turn on USB debug?

Then I have to follow the points and the rest will be done by the software?

Sounds familiar to me. :)

If something is wrong correct me please.

Main point is this md2sum or whatever.

Is it correct in HD?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Yes, everything is correct.
[Desire Android Development] KennyDumah:
That is the answer I wanted to hear :D

Thanks mate.

:)
[Desire Android Development] Sidewindr:
Ahh ok now I understand ;)
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
coolexe how about you think of a good patrition table for hd roms in consultation with robocik and ieftm to make it..... something which you give an extra edge to S-off users while keeping compatibility for S-on users by using current methods of a2sd or data to sd or ext solution:)
[Desire Android Development] hudl:
WOW, MAN! This thing is pure speed! I flashed HDv5 without (!) wiping above your Zv4 and everything is smooth as butter! All the lists are scrolling like nothing before. Even the widget list that was always a bit laggy for me is smooth, smooth, smooth... I'm sooo impressed!!

Zv4 was already super speedy and the best ROM i used, but this one tops it by far. No lags, no frags... ;)

Great! Finally a sense2 ROM that is absolutely useable without any drawbacks and the wish of the speed of sense1! Just wanted to thank you. THANK YOU, MAN!
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Does it have new 1.83 base?
[Desire Android Development] mbrouns:
Problem is also for s-off users (I am one). But as said. Do check if your sd-ext gets corrupted AFTER flashing Cool Z (or a kernel that you flash after that). Fixing the ext-partition in that case and reboot. Worked for me ;-)
[Desire Android Development] mbrouns:
One more question: is there an alternative 'battery percentage notification icon' for this ROM? I tried several but most messed up my phone
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
1.72 base

10 char
[Desire Android Development] earthfrost:
i have no luck, stuck at first screen, like v4 :(
[Desire Android Development] Bl@ck:
Sure this rom takes a while to "install", after 5min my phone is still on the HTC logo.

EDIT:

Ok after a couple of wipe and reflash of the ext4_align zip the rom booted and is working fine, just a thing, why when i try'd to wipe i were getting error on /sd-ext ? it kept on saying that there was a file in it and he couldn't mount the partition, hope this error doesn't show anymore if i change rom :P
[Desire Android Development] eesmm:
which apk was it?
[Desire Android Development] danishnicooo:
does this have the task manager under the curtain?
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
So which kernal should I flash? I am with Cool Z rom V5 now
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
how to check whether your sd-ext gets corrupted or not? How to fix the ext-partition? flash into other kernals?
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hi,

Guys did u facing this error in recovery after wiping sdext..?

I think this is correct time to making my own sdext alignment script...
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hmmm correct but its a sdext problem Just make a fresh sdext or repair old one...

In my way...

300mb to 280mb for system...5mb for cache if temp dl moved to sdext or sdcard...

No bro. Old base...

@all

Personal suggestion:

Plz use clockworkmod v3.0.0.5 r3 recovery.
[Desire Android Development] mbrouns:
See earlier post: after flashing the ROM, you can just try wiping the SD-ext part (through the recovery menu option)... In my case that failed and let me know the ext-part was corrupted. Reflashed the Ext alignment zip (see first post by cool) and then rebooted. and that worked ;-)

guys, I'm a bit stuck now.

Just upgraded my Desire from v3 to v5 and wiped the Dalvik cache. v3 was running with Ziggy kernel as the kernel included in v3 wouldn't work for me (bootloop).

Now, v5 boots fine, no bootloop. However, once I'm back into the system, I get endless force closes. Nothing really works. Almost can't start a single program. Did a reboot, but that doesn't help.

Is a full wipe required coming up from v3 (without v4 inbetween)?

[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
****, I'm stuck even more. Tried to go back from v5 to v3 by restoring the Nandroid backup that I did just before flashing v5. Unfortunately, that leads me into a bootloop now.

I tried to flash Ziggy kernel which last time got me out of the bootloop but it didn't help. Well, that was to be expected as a Nandroid backup should backup and restore plain everything, right?

So essentially I've a useless phone now.

Any ideas what to do? Full wipe for v5?
