Roger, thanks..

Yes if we can tag posts as we go along it will help me when I get some time to start on the Wiki... many commitment at the moment but it's on the radar.

Another thing, has anyone had any issues with letter searching in the dialler? I used to be able to quick search in the dialler by just typing in the name on the number pad, now it doesn't do anything.

Any thoughts?

Download Links for StarBurst 1.1.8 are up

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

27/01/11 Update to main Rom 1.1.8

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

Minor glitch in init.rc functionality which could cause issues

with Data2SD. Fixed by repacking the whole Rom.

Added: Quick App Remover app, XDA forum app,

CIFS Manager, 3D Gallery, Complete 5 item list for Wallpaper

selection.

Removed: Explorer app

This is more of a bug release/patch. People who have had a working StarBurst wont be noticing much difference. A bug was noted by Sibere which could cause potential issues in the Data2SD implementation. Update is recommended.

A few app changes have been done. Removed Explorer which was redundant with inclusion of Astro. Added 3D gallery, CIFS manager and a few other things.

If you need a free app included in next release, do tell.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I've never had issues with the Dialer..I'm not sure why this is happening.

Try the new version. See if it's ok. Else try a repartitioning with Gparted, Try a delete all partition+Repartitioning. Use the MB align option of Gparted. Could improve the speed.

Sibere is testing out a new faster beta script for Data2SD. It's really fast, without losing any stability, and also fixing potential issues. So far we've not seen any issues. You can testdrive the script when it's released if you like. Links will be added to OP when it's ready for release. For now, try what I've listed..

Its multilanguage rom, I use it since yesterday in greek, I only change the kernel with the richards trip one v5e because I like it more and this is my quadrant score with 1113mhz and smartass and the sibere trick enabled....

My card is a lexar 6 class 16gb
[Desire Android Development] Moby58:
Hi guys,Currently have v1.1.7 installed, and looking to upgrade to v1.1.8

SD card is already partitioned with FAT32 and EXT4

What I want to do, prior to upgrade is remove the Telstra Splash screen on boot up.

From what I have read, I need 'standard' ROM to S-OFF the Desire, and I want to S-ON when complete.

So, I am thinking the process should be

1. Titanium back up the phone

2. Nandroid backup

3. Flash a stock ROM

4. Change the spash screen to what I want

5. Reflash the Stock ROM to get back S-OFF

6. Nandroid recover of v1.1.7

7. Flash DATA2SD Re-installer

8. Flash v1.1.8

9. Flash DATA2SD Re-installer

10. Recover fro TI

sound good, or can I skip step 6 & 7 ??
[Desire Android Development] ccdarkness:
i'm curious :D but how you achieved that score? i did 1604 last time i bm my device..ofcourse i have a lot of apps running in bg but anyway your score is pretty big

p.s. did you oc cpu? and why/how your quadrant shows separate colors for memory, cpu etc?

thanks

thanks
[Desire Android Development] ccdarkness:
i think you can flash 1.1.8 directly...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
1. Flash StarBurst 1.1.8

1.1 Flash Data2SD Reinstaller w/o a reboot

2. Titanium back up and Nandroid backup

3. Full wipe

4. Flash StarBurst Rom only (without Data2SD installer/reinstaller)

5. Flash Alpharev

6. Change the spash screen to what u want

5. Restore Nandroid backup

6. Done

There is an additional setting of Data2SD in /system/etc/init.d/01data. So the huge I/O scores are not really accurate. It can be added to the existing setup..See Sibere's thread-initial OP

Quoting him:

So the quadrant I posted is not all because of the new script..But I had the same kernel as right now. Setcpu set to Performance mode..But I do get around 1800 normally though on my 3CPro Class 4 card

The colors..well..Quadrant has always appeared like that to me.. :)

Is the 3rd party app remover going to be updated so we can remove the terrible "I take ages to load" 3D gallery?
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I agree, this gallery is a pain in the a**

Btw, you can open the script and just add a line to remove it
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Would love to,but I am not sure what text to write...

Link in OP

For any additional added apps you would like to remove from the Third party apps, I suggest you use the QuickAppRemoval application from the Rom
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Just a warning for some users:

I don't suggest removing FriendStream if you plan to keep Facebook or add it later because it will constantly sync as FriendStream seems to be linked with Facebook. I had to reinstall Friendstream after I installed facebook from the market, not a big deal but for some people who don't know what's causing the permanent sync it can be really annoying.

But the way, I really love your script, really easy to read and modify.

Keep up the good work buddy :)
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Is that the same for Twitter? I use and kept that but removed FriendStream...

I have not noticed any constant sync but my battery drains quite quick.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]

I must be blind???

I updated my ROM, no Quick app removal app and no link on the OP???

Or am I just having a really stupid day?
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I don't think it's the same for twitter. Maybe changing the update frequency of twitter to less often, or upgrading your radio to a more recent one
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Its from the market.

Anyone else with the same issue? There was a previous issue reported where on reinstall, the third party apps went missing. That issue might still be there. I won't be able to get to the bottom of it till my exams are over in a couple of weeks. So for now, just reinstall the utility from the market..

Swyped away..
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I also don't have the quick removal app but I don't use it. I use root explorer to remove them manually.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
just reinstall the utility from the market..[/QUOTE]

OK, did that but the Gallery app is not being displayed in the APP list :-(

I must be going mad??
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Just tried that but it said the apk was read only and would not let me remove it.
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Click on the R/O button, it will change in R/W button and you will be able to remove it
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thanks, but its really not my day :-( what read only button?

I am using the explorer which came with the ROM.

Thanks for your time.
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
You're right. With the version included in the rom, there is no button. I have root explorer installed on mine which has the button. In that case, maybe uninstall the app with titanium backup ? Don't know if will work as good as root explorer though...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Cant believe you actually made me switch on the PC to answer!

QuickAppRemoval-App from market-Can remove only third party apps and unprotected system apps

SystemAppRemovalUtility V6-My script which can remove all "useless" system apps.

the link for that is definitely on the OP and is working! I thought it wasnt when you said that and had to switch on the PC and double check!

Wish you'd check the OP thoroughly before giving any false alarms..Ever heard of what happened to the boy who cried Wolf? :rolleyes: His genuine qns in the thread went unnoticed! :D

And yes, Explorer included with the rom is free and cant remove sys apps. My utility will remove it. And if it doesnt, you can use adb to do that! Yes, Titanium should remove it smoothly

I was reading my books! :mad:
[Desire Android Development] stanley1024:
Just need the HTC_CIME only ....
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thanks mate, but it did not work.

could some one give me the text line I need to enter in the app removal .sk file and i will try it that way?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
WOW, I am really sorry... i said I was having a really bad day. I will just go to bed and try and get some sleep.

Thanks again, will get payPal sorted tomorrow and by you a beer :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:) Please don't..Sorry for being on edge!

The System App Remover is already programmed to remove all the apps you see on the list. See the remover.sh for apps it removes. If you remove something from the script, it is not removed, it stays in the Rom..Kind of a double negative..

Once again, to clarify..The Remover app removes every system app named in the remover.sh . If you want to keep an app, remove the name of the app from the script before applying the app from recovery..In case you find you removed something by mistake, reinstall the rom to get it back. Advanced users can of course use the apk from the /data/app or /system/app and install it to get it back..

Manual removal can be done with Titanium or with Root Explorer (Paid app, not included..And cannot be!)

S-OFF after flashing of StarBurst

hello,

I have S-OFF and I'm wondering whether after flashing of StarBurst would S-OFF remain? or will I have to flash AlphaRev bootloader again?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Wiper:
A total mess

Okay, I did everything by the book but theres something really wrong with my setup.

I gparted sd card 3GB fat32 and 1 GB ext4, both are primary partitions (did I go wrong there)

Now here's the deal. 1/3 of all my apps (and I have installed quite many) foce closes, 1/3 won't even start and the rest works okay. Does anyone else have issues with this rom or is it just me?

After installing 1.1.8, rebooted to Android, ran the initial setup routine (languages etc) and then rebooted to recovery and ran that data2sd installer. Quick settings displays free phone mem right as free sd card mem.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Did you restore with Titanium?
[Desire Android Development] kamelot.sk:
Please, I need to know this before flashing
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's a strange question. How could the hboot be modified by any custom rom?
[Desire Android Development] kamelot.sk:
thanks, I think it is possible because after flashing of Desire RUU, the original hboot "is restored". And while I was browsing this thread I've noticed some questions about s-off...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
An RUU is Rom Upgrade Utility, a manufacturer version of software...All custom roms have their hboot and recovery removed during their creation. Some like mine have the radio removed too..There's no way anyone can become S-On from a custom rom.
[Desire Android Development] Wiper:
Nope, decided to do a clean install. Now I've re-flashed the rom and run the data2sd installer again. So far so good, tho I'm testing every damn app after each install =D.
[Desire Android Development] Aprate:
hello,

i've just installed your rom to test how "great" it is :)

and untill now am very pleased with the rom!

the battery drain is nice, the speed is good, and all other things are great!

But there is one thing i wanted to say, i find the keyboard lagging with typeing. I think am going to install htc_ime and look what this does, on my previous rom (N.S.A) it was fast with htc_ime.

Thanks for this great rom! Keep going :)
[Desire Android Development] bermuubeli:
Big thanks to droidzone for the hard work on this great ROM.

I decided to try out the 1.1.7 as the first custom rom for my Desire and was pleased with the results. I got a couple of random reboots, but I suspect it might be something related to my sd card or some software I installed.

Now that the 1.1.8 was out, I decided to upgrade. So far so good. I also decided to try out the "Mega Sound Pack from Miui" but was a bit surprised to find only new colorful battery meter :D

No biggie, I actually prefer it that way, so I can see the exact percentage, but maybe u can fix the link in the OP - it seems the sound pack link is the same as for the "Supercircle battery mod" :)

Keep up the good work and good luck in exams.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Oops.. :D Fixed it!
[Desire Android Development] bermuubeli:
Wow, that was fast! Thanks! :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup..But be warned that it will add duplicate sounds to the menus..I'll upload a corrected version tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi!

I found a issue with 1.1.7

Im living in a region with bad 3g-reception, so i switch the network-mode to 'GSM only' to save lil bit of juice and have a good signal for phone...

If i switch off / restart the phone, the network-mode settings are back at wcdma / gsm auto.

Thats really strange... Anyone with the same issue and perhaps a fix?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This is a known issue and will be corrected very soon with the new data2sd for this rom. Beta tests are done atm. Hopefully we will be able to release it soon but droidzone and I are quite busy for the time :)

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi Sibere! Thanks for your answer... I thought I had found something new ... :-) never read here someting like that?!

Thanks for the hard work to you and droidzone!
[Desire Android Development] Wiper:
Question about switching to another SD Card

I know this isnt ROM specified question, but still. As my knowledge about linux file systems is pretty much zero, I Was wondering how can I copy the ext4 on my current sd card to a new one as the time comes?

fat32 isn't a problem, but as I am not sure if Norton Ghost supports ext4, ghosting is out of the question. If ext4 is just plain files (not like system files in Windows) and can be copied with either linux distro itself or by some ext2explore program for windows, is it possible to insert a bigger sd card by first gdparting it to fat32 and ext4, boot into recovery, wipe everything, re-flash this rom, do the data2sd install thingie, turn off the phone, copy the files from the old sd card to new (both fat32 and ext4)?

Or first nand backup, gdpart the new card, and then just restore it to the bigger card?

Does the ext4 size need to be identical in both cards?

[edit]

Now that I was able to install everything back to normal and no force closures has occurred, I have to say I am impressed with this. Was even more impressed as you were able to uninstall not needed apps that easy. I know someone has made a script which runs adb commands and it lists system files and you could just click'em away. Would be easier than just using root explorer to remove the gawd damn stock thingies, peepers, flickers,mikrowave oven, friend stream and so forth.

Okay so you might why, you have all the space you need. But I like it neat and tidy. Hey, even my Windows 7 desktop has very few icons/shortcuts/folders.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I encourage the use of beta releases, and thorough testing before releasing in to a prod version. It's good to teach us good IT business practice too.

Got a random reboot yesterday, and then phone went in to a bootloop this morning. Wondering what the 'bugs' are that were fixed in the latest version as this may be related (I hope, so it can be fixed, if it's the ROM, rather than being a problem with my phone or card).

When I update to the new ROM, do we just flash the new ROM file (install from ZIP in Recovery)?

Luckily I took a Nandroid backup of my ROM yesterday morning and that seemed to work, so something corrupted on the ROM, maybe last night, no idea how.

My SD card is about a year old and has been used heavily, so I wonder if it's ok and if there is any way to check a SD card.
[Desire Android Development] Bully.Beef:
Hi

Thanks for the great work and advice on this forum thread! I have successfully installed this as my first ROM on the HTC Desire having previously done similar ROM flashing on an old ipaq Hx4700!

I have installed the 1.1.7 version and have noticed that neither tethering nor the WiFi hub appear to work. When the network is made with the PC the phone appears to lose it's 3G signal.

Is this something anyone else is able to verify to see if it is a ROM thing or something else?!

I'll try 1.1.8 and see if I have the same issue!

BB
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks for trying it..

I'll add that as a addon, labelled under Experimental..Worth a shot, since as I mentioned, I too havent had much problems with the restart option.

Edit: I checked it out..Apparently porting it to 2.29.405 isnt straightforward..And the problem with smali patches is that the rom would lose stability. I can add the 4-in-one addon from snq with a note that Hot restart is to be avoided.

Added in update patch

if i format my card will my partition go will i have to do it again
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Formatting just removes data of that partition whatever that that originally is.

If you format a fat32, it doesnt affect the ext2 on it.

For partitioning, use a partitioning software.

Gparted is very easy..Do check it out..
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
i got 408mb internal why is dat i hav 4gb sd card and partitioned it 0 swap and the other 512mb
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
Great Jub

Great Job... i'm coming from Oxygen 1.0.4 (FroYo) and find coming back to sense not a bad experience (i flashed this rom looking for more internal storage without needing to flash custom HBOOTS and to improve battery life)

let's see how it goes

one thing i'm missing is the customisable power control widget that was in Oxygen... it looks exactly like the stock one but when you add it to your homescreen, you can choose which buttons you want displayed...

is there any way that could be added? thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Reboot power options (modded from snq)

Modified snq Power menu to make it Data2sd safe

There's a paid app which is almost exactly like this..If there's a free one I can add, however, I cant program a new widget..I lack the knowledge! :D

However, I think this may serve your purpose
[Desire Android Development] chronicfathead:
I think it was called switch pro. You can find it in the market, but its around $0.99.

How does your rom compare to oxygen rc6 battery wise. It seems to be the main issue with GB Rome, and it also seems to be erratic.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Unfortunately I havent used Oxygen that much to compare..You will have to ask someone who used both Roms

To build a custom power control widget in the Homescreen you can use the Widgetsoid 2.x app, you can find this in the market and it's free.
[Desire Android Development] josdehaes:
When you choose diskdrive as USB mode, it also mounts the userdata partition to the PC.

Probably not a good idea. It should only mount the fat32 sdcard partition.

Working fine for the rest though, thx.
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
do i have to use gparted any tried it form recovery menu
[Desire Android Development] buzzboy:
Very good rom. Installation was a doddle. Snappy as hell. I am normally a ASOP only fan, but this is on fire! Well done and thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Sibere might be the best person to answer this..But when you connect as USB, the ext wouldnt/shouldnt be mounted to PC..It's why even widgets can be installed to this w/o a problem.

Actually, huzi7868, I dont know why it is giving you that message. With the same files and steps, I dont have a problem running the script once signature verification is off. Might be a qn for the CWM forum. If you're S-OFF though, you can install RA recovery and try. It doenst have any problem with the zip

Try getting the Data2SD installer zip once again and see. I did try to resign it, though that seems to make no effect on that error. Once signature verification is off, the zip installation should beallowed. Others have been able to install too..

Trying from recovery menu is a bit dangerous..You may lose your Fat32 partition in the process..

No plans at the moment..Am waiting for the HD and Z Roms to be stabler..

Thanks, done that. new splash screen up, and all apps/data back.

However, I am getting an earlier problem I had, where selecting (usually settings of some program), I get a crash of that program with error message along the lines of

The application xxxxx (process com.google.android.xxxxx) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Happens on car home and a few (appears google) apps.

Me thinks there is a currupt google system file somewhere??

should I have done a data2sd re-install ?? or something else??
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm thinking that you restored Titanium...When restoring Ti always be cautious not to include HTC apps in the restore process. That can lead to a lot of complications-sometimes solved only by a reinstall..

I'm not able to replicate this issue of force closes at all..Unless I am able to simulate it, it wont be possible to fix it. :o
[Desire Android Development] Moby58:
Thanks for the reply, but nope, didnt do a Titanium restore.

have searched on google, and lots of similiar errors, but cant find a definitive answer
