i often change hboot, i think it's not a big deal. I always do it through the bootloader and it takes me not more than a minute :) and with a backup everything is back again as usual.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
It's not that I find it difficult or risky, just meant for convenience sake.
[Desire Android Development] dd1989:
Definitely my favourite ROM ever, preferable to CM7, faster, more stable, just brilliant. No ridiculously annoying apps like Teeter and Friend stream either.
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
one thing i have to admire is ihlades discipline... dude has not surfaced here for days!!!! way more dedicated to the right things than I usually am!
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
It works with CM7, and it should work with any HBOOT having more than 90mb for /system (that is, any of the available ones)
[Desire Android Development] hyakuman:
Yup! I'm also using it with CM7 HBOOT. Works like a charm and plenty of valuable space.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Well here's the thing, I gave it a go but got the low storage warning and even getting it up to 30mb free by uninstalling apps I could do without and moving others to sd card couldn't install the apps I needed. Kept on getting installation failure due to low storage space.

Had to Nandroid back to CM7.

Hmm. A different HBOOT maybe? Recommendations?
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I swear I can't understand the fascination with all these HBoots and the being able to install on NAND. I mean, I load everything using A2SD+ and I don't feel all that much speed increase. Right now I am back to stock HBoot (still s-off though, just in case). Now if anyone can point out an advantage other than the neglegable speed boost, that might be a different story.

While I'm here, I am new to altering ROM packages. I am trying to add my most used apk's to the ROM so they'll install upon flashing. I added all my apk files to system/apps dir as told, but after flash and first boot, only one of the 19 apps is present. What am I missing?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
The advantage is no need to use ext partitions so you have a full sd card to use as normal storage. Plus the fact that if you don't have your sd card you can still boot up whereas try that with a2sd and it can be painful. And yes there is some performance advantage but agree its negligible.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I can agree to that. And although I can imagine it happening, I haven't had the need so far. Haven't filled up my card. I manage and choose what I put on there wisely. Also never had the need to take it out either.

Any chance you know how to add APK's to the ROM prior to flashing?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
All the Hboots still waste space. Its a shame they don't have a hboot kitchen on the alpharev site.

I use custom MTD instead. I set it to what I want. Redux when I strip out what I dont use, comes to 67MB.

So I have:

/system 75MB

/cache 3MB (Cant get it any smaller)

/data 360MB

Now I can use ALL my sd card for music. I have 105 user apps, 180MB free
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Only guess is first make sure that's the correct location for the apps and secondly check that the permissions on the apk's are suitable. Other than that, I've never done it like that but it's a good call.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
How about being a pal and sending that custom MTD over this way ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Click the custom MTD link in my signature :)

Finally it seems there is a fix for the 2 sec delay! Just downloaded it, will try it and report. Another thing to add to the 1.3 release! :-)

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah let us know...
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Ok, it doesn't work... Stuck at the why so serious screen, even after wiping cache and Dalvik.

I just realized that it was originally made for cm7, so 2.3.4...

I'll open the files and I'll see if I can make something work for us. Stay tuned... :-)
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Working fine for me... although I am on CM7. Looks like I'm sticking yet then :-p
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
-all apps are in /system/app folder

-name is not important -you can use both TitaniumBackup.apk or com.keramidas.titaniumbackup.apk

- try not to double apps but if this happens system will use newer one

-permissions are taken care of in update-script
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
It's not working. I placed the files in there and copied the zip to phone. Booted to recovery and flashed. Only 1 file was installed. This update-script... Do I have to change anything? BTW, I also resigned the file with the AutoSign tool in case you're wondering.

Isn't there any online kitchen where I can cook Redux and add the apks?

I already know cookandroid.se, but I think that's not for Redux.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I use winrar personally but 7zip may work too.

Open the zip (NOT extract) and add the apk's to the directory. If you're prompted (or there is an option) to set compression, set to "Store" then just close the zip.

No need to unpack, repack, sign.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Already tried that. Didn't work.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
put your apps as .apk in the right place of the redux zip file. then it will be installed during flashing. when i replace the launcher everything works... how many apps to you want to add?

edit: ooops i'm a little bit late ;)
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I always use TotalCommander built-in zip- all file operations are done without unpacking, it takes some time beacuse after every operation archieve is repacked.

I never resign the resulting zip

If you want to add/move apps without reflashing you can use AndroidCommander (qtADB should also work but I didn't test it):

1. boot to recovery, mount /system and /sd-ext if you use apps2sd or /data if you don't use apps2sd

2. connect USB and start AndroidCommander

3. copy/move/add apps- system apps are in /system/app, user apps are in /sd-ext/app (apps2sd) or /data/app (without apps2sd),

4. reboot

NOTE- if you want to move app to /system or merge an update do not delete apk file from original location (/sd-ext/app or /data/app)- during boot system will delete the file but app data and market link will remain untouched
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Thanks for the reply. As I have stated, I am using jzip and adding files to the existing zip file in system/apps. 19 apk files in total. They all work. I have finished installing them manually after reflash. The problem is that of the 19, only 1 ends up being installed (and it's always the same app). The reason I want to add the apps is because I am on a very limited data plan and after flashing I don't want to have to download things from the Market and eat up valuable megs. So yeah, I'd be very happy if someone could help out and figure why this is happening to me. From the comments it seems like it should be very straight forward.
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Try using another zip utility or change in jzip settings Compresstion factor to 0/Store (as rootSU said zip must not be compressed)

You can also check Update.zip Modifier (somewhere here) and create you own update.zip with apps you need.

BTW wouldn't it be easier just to make a backup from time to time?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Are you sure you have space for all 19 apps?

Why not just make a dedicated zip for apps?

Better yet, backup apps with titanium backup.

Can't help but think you're going about this the wrong way.

Besides my way does work so theres obviously something else that's the issue
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I tried nadroid, but it messes up my desktop shortcuts for my contacts. And there are lots of them. I try to call Mom, it ends up calling Work or something. Guessing the shortcut points to a different address or whatever after nandroid restore. It also messes up some of my widgets stored on SD.

As for Titanium, it's my weapon of choice and I keep an apk on my phone, but there are 2 issues: to install it I need to dload at least 1 file manager. If i could get that file manager into the zip, I'd be good. Second issue, having to restore one by one. I have some 100 apps backed up, but only need to restore 17 (after file manager and titanium), the rest I only restore when I need them. To do a full restore is overkill. I feel Titanium needs a multiple file selection mode. That would work for me. Maybe I should think about setting labels... hummm... never considered that till just now.

As for space, I am back on stock hboot for now. Have 512ext. I think Redux is A2SD compatible, no? Haven't checked. I'll jump into terminal and see.

The zip for APK's, is it just a standard non compressed .zip file with the apk's inside? No script or whatever? Or how would I go about doing that?

I'm sorry guys, I know this is aggravating, but I've got to learn somehow. But I do thank you all for the feedback so far.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can do a batch restore in titanium and select individually.

have a look at the useful downloads link in my sig. Download for example, the flashable black market. Put your apps in there in the way I mentioned...

Winrar open (not extract) drag and drop in the /system/app folder ans select compression as "Store"
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Just created an update.zip with Titanium in there. Set up labels for my 19 apps. Ended up including a few more. Now I have 45 apps restoring after flash. It's working great now. Just have to flash TB after flashing ROM, then a simple label filter and batch restore. God, why didn't I think of that earlier.

Is there a way for TB to backup the sms and mms messages and restore them? Not the settings but rather the actual messages... and call log would be great to.
[Desire Android Development] rajavijay:
works fine on my desire ...its light and fast and with all the bells and whistles ....Feels great that I rooted my desire with unrevoked and flashed the redux .....
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It backs them up somewhere but Titanium is not intuitive for this.

Call log is under [contacts/calls contacts storage]. SMS is under [sms/mms/APN] Dialler storage I think.

My backup pro is much better for this as they are under (call logs) and (SMS)
[Desire Android Development] ZigmaDK:
I have a question or a request if you like.

In the other AOSP roms there is a "custom" menu that includes different setups of the auto brightness values, how the interface looks, special settings that aren't available in the clean AOSP roms.

I think I have seen them called Cyanogen Settings and Defrost Settings.

Is it possible to get this in the Redux rom?

I would really love to have the possibility to tweak the autobrightness settings, that I have seen is possible in these other roms.

Anyone know if this is possible? (maybe through a flashable zip without having to start over again :) )
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
You prefer MyBackup over TB? I was thinking about it, but wasn't sure it was worth the extra cost.
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It is possible but:

1.

2. Redux is not based on CM source code

3. adding any function requires a lot of work and time

4. adding any function will decrease perfomance (extra jobs to be done by cpu) or can cause conflicts with others

5. ihlades is working alone

(I've been already working with AOSP and CM sources in case you ask)
[Desire Android Development] ZigmaDK:
Noob question: Even though it isn't based on CM code, it is still Android, right? So wouldn't it still be possible to "port" the CM settings to the Redux rom?

I am not sure how a settings menu will decrease performance, since the menu is made to optimize settings in the first place.
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Settings alone will do nothing if "features" are not implemented in system (even if compilation will be succesfull)- adding CMParts would require to a)modify current Settings and b)modify half of the system framework.

Menu itself will not affect performance, but adding extra functionality will
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
Gen

You seem to have a pretty good grasp of things, how possible will it be to get the new version of gtalk working on the next version of redux?

am after it pretty bad as it will mean that I can "call" family over in america for free...
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Hard to say, I didn't port any apps yet (I'm a modder, not developer)
[Desire Android Development] Mr. Frost:
I thought something similar. It also doesn't switch to mobile internet connection when I had wifi turned on before all the time and leave my house. I have to get in ariplane mode and back to fix this.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Just saw the defrost bug tracker.... i think its a good way to make bugtracking - and solving easier, particulary when the thread gets bigger. its even easier for ihlades to know, which bugs must be solved in a next version... isn't it? or are there better things available?

[Desire Android Development] blowy666:
Well, and I see it this way: if you want this settings, you should flash CM7 or Defrost.

If ihlades will implent all the features from the other ROMS, where would be the sense of the REDUX ROM? :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No not prefer. I use both. If I specifically want call logs and SMS, but I'm switching to a new rom where I only want to restore apps, I will also use Mybackup just for that (and dictionary).

However I use SMSbackup+ now which creates a label in gmail and backs up there. I ilke that. Not too bothered about call logs tbh
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I used Gingervillain and Defrost. Those autobrightness settings didn't work very well anyway
[Desire Android Development] Pzykonaut:
Just as rootSU said ... That feature didn't work anyway. So, please ihlades, don't implement that ;)
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:

[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Hi, would someone please be able to tell me what this is like compared to cm7? :)

It's more stock android feeling. In a good way. Redux is a no bs rom without the crap you don't need to get the job done. It has great battery life in my case and runs very fast and smoothly. I've tried many desire roms and this is definitely the one I've used the longest.

I hope Redux 1.3 will coming with kernel that support 2 ways call recording... i know there are some kernel already providing this... but what i wish is a redux kernel. ;)
[Desire Android Development] jayshah:
I have this but a somewhat 'easier' fix. If you don't already have this, enable it anyway: Applications > Development > Long press back to kill. Then next time you hit a no-suggestion-issue, go to Settings > Lang. and Keyboard > Android Keyboard (you will notice it won't load), just long press back and the keyboard will restart and the issue will be fixed. Alternatively if you have good experience with the keyboard, it's easier just to hold the "," key and slide left to the settings option (which you can't see, so as I say, if you have a good feel for the keyboard already) which then allows you to long press back.
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Happens sometimes ...... at my Device too!
[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
Cheers for the advice jayshah, I'll be sure to try that!

Doubt it as its a GB issue. Unless 2.3.4 fixes

I returned to 1.1.1.

1.2 was a little buggy on my device :(

Keyboard issue and so on ...

I tried also Last Oxygen and last stable Cyanogen, but they are SLOW in comparison of Redux.

I can say IMO Redux it's the best rom ever, i need speed on my phone, and Redux it's the fastest.

[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I'm on Swype and SwiftKey. Especially SwiftKey. I don't have this issue with this keyboard software. But I do have problems getting the selection tabs showing so I can select text easier. :mad: Guess it's a problem between the software and the OS.

I was off Redux for a couple of days, playing with the dev version of Kingdom. Strangest thing, now I am back to Redux. Flashed it, flashed my Titanium Backup, rebooted. After first boot installed A2SDGui and it told me it couldn't find the a2sd script. Forgot Redux didn't have the script (???) so went back to Recovery and flashed DarkTremor's a2sd script. Reboots once, twice and then just stays on the AlphaRev boot screen (the Why So Serious? one). Tried wiping and re-flashing yet again, this time, flashing only Redux, booting once to become stable, then flashing the script and rebooting. Same thing. This is now happening every time I try the script, but only on Redux. All other ROMs are working fine after installing the script. Ideas?

Edit: Just remembered I changed from ext3 to ext4, but this shouldn't be the issue here, right?
[Desire Android Development] mondilv:
It's depend to the kernel.

If I right remember, cm or modaco use ext3 only in the kernels.

Also, need to check script: may it use ext3 option.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Hummmm, sounds about right. Anyone know if ManU-1.4-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS.zip has ext4 support?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Redux does have the script as standard /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd

You can flash the dalvik-cache moving script of the same name to replace the existing script, but the script is definitely there.

Flashing DT over it does not replace it (different script name) therefore, it will cause conflict. I suggest reflash ROM, checking 10apps2sd is present.

The a2sdGUI only works with DT by the way.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I was aware of the A2SDGui being a DT only thing. Was assuming Redux used it, but found out soon enough it wasn't the case.

I don't know where it's going wrong. I can see using Quick System Info that it's not using up my ext4 part. I'll try replacing the packed ROM's script with the alternate that also moves dalvik. Has to be the same name, right?
[Desire Android Development] brynte5:
this is a copy of a post i made in desire general (except for the edit), cause i couldn´t post in this section, then...

should i delete the post in desire general, so it´s not a "doublepost"?

running REDUX 1.2!

very pleased with it:)

i was wondering if it´s possible to install a theme in REDUX, that was originally created for another rom (cm7 or oxygen for example)?

and i was also wondering about the lockscreen in REDUX!

is it an app that´s included?

i guess there should be no problems, installing another lockscreen (widget locker for example), or can/ should i uninstall the lockscreen that comes with the rom, first?

edit: one more thing!

i installed the addon that moves the dalvik-cache to the ext partition on the SD card!

is there a way to check if this is successfully installed and working?
[Desire Android Development] rakludnet:
you find more space on your internal memory. use quicksysteminfo from market
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It can be any name. The number at the front of the name dictates the order the scripts run in at boot. The letters "apps2sd" are just an easy identifier for you.

But if you have 2 scripts that do similar jobs (eg mount ext) then they will conflict so you need to make sure you only have 1 in there.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Done and now my ext partition is getting used. But so is my internal storage. Free space down to 84.23 MB from 139 MB after installing my 64 apps. Is this normal? I mean I know it's normal, but I though the apps would all get sent to ext and dalvik too after flashing with that script. Or is it maybe the data that is taking up all that space? Is there any way to get dalvik, apps and data onto the same ext so I don't have to have a sd card partitioned like it's swiss cheese?
