Actually I myself dont like the way Ara theme modifies apps including the HTC clock. What the theme does is to replace the default apps/files on the Rom with their modded version. So what you need to do is to remove the relevant files from the zip before flashing the theme.

For specific help on what to remove, please ask in the Carbon theme thread.
[Desire Android Development] :
Think I've found the reason. Linked the Desire to a Windows XP machine and had no problems at all, transfer rates about 6 MB/s (with a Class 4 card). Then I linked the phone to the Windows 7 machine on my work, no problems at all.

Some months ago, I installed the android drivers on my system to root my device by Unrevoked. Maybe they are causing the slow transfer rates because those aren't installed on any other testing system. Will uninstall all drivers today and try again.

So it's NOT a problem of the card, the partition or this mod.

Btw: this mod is really awesome. No crashes, no freezes. Very quick. And some nice improvements and optimizations. And an awesome support.

Just one issue (I have to analyze a bit more first): It seems that email syncing is working, but is there a type of standby the device goes in? It seems, that from time to time (recognized it 1-2 times within the last 2 days) emails are synced only when touching the device.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:) That's weird, never had that before!
[Desire Android Development] maximus1965:
I will try your rom now, but i have a question before :) :

Is there a limit of the size of the ext4 partition (i have a 16GB class 6 sdcard and want to make a 2GB ext4 partition) ??

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
As for now, Sibere recommends 2Gb as the recommended maximum limit for Data2SD ext4.

However, do rethink whether you want to devote anything >1Gb for Internal memory. It's very difficult to fill this up :)
[Desire Android Development] maximus1965:
ok, thank you, i will try it with 1GB :)
[Desire Android Development] conor350:
This Rom work's realy fast. Can you make a HD Rom for the HTC Desire?
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
+1 here for DHD or Desire Z rom
[Desire Android Development] emperor4her:
hello.. the rom is realy fast and very nice, i love the internal memory! thanks..

I have an issue though sometimes apps force close, and its not only that .. after the restart sometimes somethings missing.. yesterday all my settings for handcent sms and some other widget were reseted and today all my contacts were gone! lol:confused:

anyway, dunno if some of my apps is causing the problem.. can i find somehow whats the problem?
[Desire Android Development] maximus1965:
hello

only one question (i hope it is not a silly one):

I partitioned my sd card with amonra (1GB ext4). I booted up copied a view things to the card and then i had to wipe the sd card.

I go to the menu sd card and phone ram (i hope it is correct in english)

I push remove sd card and then format it (i thought it means erase it)

After that not only the fat32 partition is whiped, the ext4 partition is also gone.

That means the phone formats the whole card with fat32.

Is that normal for a desire stock rom ? because i had a legend before and i think i can remember the legend does not format the sdcard only erase.

Amazing !! Thank you so much droidzone :)

Rom is smooth and fast und so much space on internal memory :)

Nightly release StarBurst 1.1.2 Updated ROM

This update contains:

Starburst 1.1.1

Integrated Reboot option

Minor fixes including Market and Adfree fix (Market is still the 2.29 Stock version. To update it, just use the update patch posted on this thread by users. Market will be integrated in the next minor patch)

Data2sd Installer/Reinstaller now adds Ownhere's patched library for performance

If Adfree still doesnt work, try the symlink option on it.

Market may not work well on first boot. But it will become normal on installing the Data2sd update (only needed for first time installers. Not for those who are upgrading starburst. They would need the Data2sd reinstaller.)

Download link

For those who already have installed the previous Starburst Rom, just flash this over your existing Rom without a wipe, and then flash the Data2sd reinstaller without rebooting in between. Nandroid backup is a must before you update any Rom.

For a new install, this file must be flashed just like in instructions in OP for new installation. (i.e followup by the data2sd installer)

Please do note that you do have to install the data2sd reinstaller over this rom..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Dont choose the menu option to format.

Choose the Nandroid option.

"Taskiller" is ok.

Though generally most people recommend against using them. Use Autostarts to disable annoying programs from loading. Use it carefully for system apps. Else FCs
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There are still minor niggles in the HD Roms. Let they becom really stable, maybe then.. :)

You'd have to do an adb logcat (Search XDA for threads on these), and see what exactly is happening.

Did you do a full wipe before the install?

If your restored with Titanium, do not restore HTC apps/widgets..That wrecks the rom! Also first try restore apps+data. In case you get problems, try a cache wipe. If even that doesnt work, restore only apps. In case an error occurs, reflash the rom, followed by the data2sd reinstaller. Your issue is not a bug in this rom. Will occur when restores are performed on any sense rom with sense app restore..
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
Hey, to clarify, what exactly do you mean by "before a wipe"... i am running v1.1.1a right now... do i need to wipe before installing this new build or not?

Or can i just flash it, flash the data2sd reinstaller and reboot and be good to go without restoring all my apps?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
What I meant to say was "without" a wipe.

You've just said exactly what you gotta do :D

BUT..It's a nightly build, so do a Nandroid backup before installing it!
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
great... that worked like a charm :)

Adfree still doesn't work for me however... (either with the default setting or with the symlink option)...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If you're seeing the options in Adfree, that means the issue was fixed..Adfree wasnt supposed to show any option if it wasnt patched. Now try rebooting and see once again. If not, then reinstall..If you cant still get it working, do post an update..Have to see why...

Though I keep wiping and installing a lot..and it works each time...
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
nope still no luck with adfree...

it says success in the app, but doesn't do anything...

in terminal emulator

cat /etc/hosts (which is symlinked to /system/etc/hosts) gives me only

172.0.0.1 localhost

ls -l /system/etc shows that there is no symlink on /system/etc/hosts, so it is that file it is trying to edit

even cat /data/data/hosts shows only

172.0.0.1 localhost

unsure of exactly how the app works, with the read-only mounted /system, but seeing the contents of my hosts files, it can't be a dns cache issue...
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
quick queston whats a nandroid back up and why do we have to do it before we flash the new update am new at nandroid backup ;)
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Nandroid backup is a complete snapshot of system made from recovery mod (for example ClockworkMod do this). It saves snapshot onto SDcard, so if anything goes wrong during or after flash, you can still safely flash it back to previous state because you have "nandroid backup" :)
[Desire Android Development] patp:
Will the /data bit of a nandroid done of this rom contain everything in the ext4 sd partition? Ie is a nandroid a good way to insure this set up in case of corruption to the ext partition?

Also, would it be possible to add ext4+crypt support and thus use this technique to make a properly FS encrypted ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, Nandroid should be good with the latest script..Should restore it fullt to a DATA2SD config...About the second, I dont know.. :)
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
As far as I know, wiping Dalvik-cache is only needed for changing windows animation effect.

I install any kind of updated, patches, themes before data2sd script and since StarBurst 1.1.1 never had any issues other than those caused myself.

Boot loops were caused only by my impatience and lack of knowledge (didn't wait long enough or didn't do necessary reboots) and class 2 stock Samsung SD card (card couldn't handle too many transfers with amount of apps I installed).

As far as I can tell:

Do the reading before acting.

This rom is really easy to install if you follow instructions step by step.

It eliminates 90% of failures.

Rest is device/user specific and mostly can be solved by providing detailed user action log.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Draciel882:
Okay, I flashed the newest version of the ROM and then I did the data2sd reinstaller and then the theme with no rebooting inbetween and no wiping of the dalvik-cache and after all that was flashed, I rebooted and it sat at the quietly brilliant screen for about 20 minutes but after that it finished booting and I rebooted and flashed my UOT zip and everything is working perfectly. Thanks so much :)

I just have a question...what is a hot restart?

@kl_arnet could you point me in the direction of swype?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hot restart is an unsafe restart. Dont use it! It isnt supposed to work anyway :) Removing it from the Rom removes the Reboot to Fastboot option too, which is why I left it in place.

Swype is in beta. You need to register at their site as a beta tester and in a few weeks (or days if lucky), they'll send you username and links
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
This is official info, but life is different.

Swype is included in Samsung Galaxy S and some other Samsung models. I have fully working cracked Polish/English Swype modded to remove non standard (polish) characters from SMS, as they shorten the length of SMS from 160 to 70 characters. There is lot of devs making localized dictionaries for Swype at forums dedicated to warez part of mobile apps.

...and it's installed the same as any other apk and shows as another Input Method so it's no inference into system.

do you have plans to support OTA or ROM updater (ROM Updater by Giacomo Furlan) ?
[Desire Android Development] frodefx:
Droidzone: any feedback based on my adb log I attached on my previous reply? (Page 116)

I followed installation details closely ..

Im now running without the data2sd installer scripts, because they always stop the phone from booting.

Would be really good to get this rom up and running.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] eil:
Sorry, tried Coutts several times now with different approaches with and without boots between steps, but every time I get boot loop after flashing Data2sd...
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Anyone?

I've done the DataMigrationUtility successfully now on 1.2.1, haven't had any issues yet.

What are the steps to go to 1.3.2 without wipe now?

I did gain some memory after the datamigration, of the 1.5GB ext4 I had 989MB left, after the datamigration I have 1.1GB again.

(this is perhaps a question to put up on the FAQ)

On an unrelated note, I tried to install Google's Car Home but it doesn't work, now I can't remove it, I tried with TB's "Force remove" but that didn't work, would it be possible via ADB?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm sorry. I think I will need Sibere's help on this one.

Yup. I did post about that. The kernels do cause loops when flashed after data2sd installer flash. Flash of kernel before data2sdinstaller>no bootloops. The temporary way out is Wipe>Rom install>Kernel install>Data2sd install, which works. Flashing after data2sd install does cause issues, so that means any upgrade to newer rom would cause bootloops
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Flash 1.3.2, flash latest reinstaller, without a wipe/reboot in between

Adb should be able to remove it.

"adb rm /data/app/name_of_app.apk", also wipe relevant cache. As a better method, you can try Qtadb (see link on minisite), you can see and remove the file
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
hi

how big does the ext partition have to be. can i do a 512mb ext partition
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Ok, I have found setCPU application.

This link deXter provided, gives a link to a Kernel which gives an option to modify voltages:

How to set this? Where this option is available?

If I understood right, it is possible to modify values of voltages in

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

So I need to do "CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_VDD_LEVELS" option to "yes" + modification of "vdd_levels" file?

Is this correct?

I am rooted, do I need to have S-OFF for that?

One thing concerning setCPU; when I put voltage to max (1190400), with charger it is ok, without charger plugged, system freezes. I guess some voltage modification needed, or?

Thanks,

jukyO
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Please read minisite
[Desire Android Development] [deXter]:
No, you need not do that, the kernel should already be configured with that option. You don't need S-OFF for this. To change the voltage levels, just open a terminal and type this:

echo '-25' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

to decrease the voltage by 25 millivolts. Use a '+' if you want to increase it. If you want to set it to a particular level, type this:

echo '998400 1250' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

This will set the voltage for a particular frequency. Also, it is very important to note that whatever voltage number you choose, it should be a multiple of 25. (Eg: 25x1 = 25, 25x50 = 1250)

SetCPU will only configure frequency scaling, you still have to configure the voltages you want manually. You'll have to find the ideal voltage level yourself by trying out various levels and testing the stability.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Thanks for the clarifications dexter.

So, I need to load this kernel from recovery, reboot and then modify voltages?

What is the maximum voltage possible, 1300 mV or?

thanks,

jukyO
[Desire Android Development] [deXter]:
Yes. Also, the chnages will not persist after a reboot, so once you find a proper value set that are stable, add those commands to a script in /system/etc/init.d

For simplicity, you might just want to edit the existing 01data script and add those lines at the beginning (for eg, after the 'echo 64 > ...' line would be a good place to put it.. having all the organisations in one place)

You'll have to edit or update the 01data file from recovery, because otherwise it'll be read-only when the android system is running.

Well, that depends on the kernel. Check your kernel dev's page or ask your dev about it. 1300 is the most common value though.
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
I have read the mini site but it doesn't say

I've just got report that after using Remove utility tool, it leaves "HTC Fase" Widget entries at Widgets section.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/starburst-rom-home/resources/how-to-partition-for-starburst/

What widget is that. I havent included that in the Rom. Note that the utility is not to be used for uninstalling any app, but only those supplied with the Rom
[Desire Android Development] craig1965:
If you go into applications and clear data on HTC sense it will reset your home screen but the false entries will be gone
[Desire Android Development] eil:
No, I meant that I've tried it as you explained (wipe-rom-kernel-data2sd) and it still doesn't work for me. I've tried with and without boots in between, i.e. wipe-rom-kernel-boot-data2sd / wipe-rom-boot-kernel-data2sd / wipe-rom-boot-kernel-boot-data2sd)...

Amonra recovery, S-Off (Desire table), Gparted partition FAT32 followed by Ext4 1,5GB

Not a biggie, I still end up using Starburst, just thought it could be interesting for you to know!

I've only tried the 875mV version(couttstech-2.6.32.28_OC1190_HAVS@875mV_CFS_VR_SLQB.zip) which has worked for me in the past. Could that be it? That I should go for the 925mV?
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Yup, thats right. The, for me, easiest way is to modify the vdd_levels file. Have described the procedure several times. For testing is the way about changing voltages in terminal ok. If you make your own vdd_levels file you could use it even after a wipe or with different roms. If you set your voltages too agressive, simple go back to stock. I attach the link to flashable vdd-files:

stock vdd-levels http://db.tt/ST5hHc0

lower vdd-levels http://db.tt/eswdRrv
[Desire Android Development] dislok:
This rom does not recognize my sd card is a Class 6 16GB.

it is partitioned into ext4 and fat32.
[Desire Android Development] frodefx:
Do you perform a custom kernel install, additional flash to the main rom flashing? then the data2sd flash/install?

I've not yet tried what you tell is working to just perform the data2sd right after flashing the main rom, without a restart. (devs) --> If this is working, whats the reason not to do it?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
There is not support of voice dialling in Starburst 1.3.2 Droidzone. You probably forgot it to include it into ROM. But there is possibility to add it via flashing your previous voicedial.zip file :) . Great work anyway !! Thumbs up!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'll need to wait for Sibere's input with the kernel issues. He's very busy, so give it some time, and the kernel issues should be corrected for good.

@IndicaviA, I was working with different builds, so I guess I uploaded a version which didnt have the apk. Will add it next time. My net connection is crappy, with around 6-8Kbps of upload. So it's a bit difficult to get builds uploaded in time. Thanks to Dropbox, at least I can remote upload to the sharing sites once I get it onto Dropbox
[Desire Android Development] frodefx:
Finally got the Data2SD Installer script working. I realized Clockwork recovery was not permanently installed on my phone, got it installed running unrevoked3.

Followed by the usual: full wipe(s), installed rom, restarted, kept the phone running for 15-20 mins, restarted in recovery to flash data2sd with signature verification off, restarted (removed the usb connection from the pc, dont know if this does make any sense..)

Phone booted with 2GB ext4 partition for internal memory :)
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
i installed this rom and found out that whenever wifi is on and it sync facebook contacts, the phone reboots and all the contact list will be deleted..its so annoying..please give fix for this..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That will only happen if you failed to follow instructions and installed some app/restored before the data2sd installer was flashed.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Thanks for the info, I'll be installing 1.3.2 this weekend

And wow Qtadb is an awesome tool, thanks for the tip.

buuuuuut ;) it don't work, CarHomeGoogle.apk and CarHomeLauncher.apk are in system/app and I can delete them but they're not really gone after a reboot they're back ...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Would probably need wiping cache. Be careful and take a Nandroid backup though

Can anyone confirm if Dolphon Browser is running fine on your StarBurst? Checked with friend on Stock rom and workin fine in there. Can't install so want to make sure before wipe.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I have been trying to flash/update from 1.1.8 to 1.3.2 without any luck...

I flash the ROM and once its flashed I then flash the migration without a boot in between, I then get stuck on the HTC screen and it does nothing, I leave it for 10-15 mins and then have to pull the battery :-(

Does it take longer or is something wrong?

Advice would be much appreciated,

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
I flashed the same way like you. For me it works. The first boot could last longer, think it could depend on how many apps you have installed?! I would leave the phone booting for around 20 min. Perhaps you could make a logcat with adb to see what the phone does in this time...
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Check with DroidZOne, but since between 1.1.8 and 1.3.0 are large differences, you probably have to do full wipe, but let's wait what DroidZone or Siebre will post.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thanks dude, just giving it another go now...I do have quite a lot of apps installed.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have also themed the ROM and was using a different kernel if that is any help?

Coming up to the half hour point...that cant be right?
[Desire Android Development] 44IN:
Hey Droidzone, I havent been around, but see this thread growed , so I want to flash from 1.1.4 to latest 1.3.2, so do I need full wipe or?

What are the steps as I am going from that old version I see lots of new stuff has been added and recoded ??
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
Were the download link
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
whats new in 1.3.2 i just updated to 1.3.0 last week
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
At StarBurst Mini Site

http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/starburst-rom-home/resources/download-links/

New Zealand, Arabic locales, Voice Dialing for bluetooth so no need for update if you don't use those.

Since there were major changes in DATA2SD script, better do Titanuium Backup of user apps and perform Full Wipe and follow steps as with fresh install.

If you are using custom kernel or theme, for your own safety flash before DATA2SD script.
[Desire Android Development] 44IN:
Yes well I thought so, thank you , so fresh install it is :)
