I have had heaps of dramas with my ROMS - my Alex-V ROM kept freezing, then Recovery wouldn't mount the card and I wondered if my card was the issue, so I reformatted my card in the phone and used ROM Manager to repartition the card - only problem the max size being 512MB for the partition. Will this work ok? Or is 1GB recommended?

Going to give this ROM a go and see what happens.

BTW - I don't think the ROMs have been the issue as no one else was having my problems. It seems to be card related, although I used Gparted on Linux (Ubuntu) to format the card several months and ROM's ago and never really noticed any problems until recently.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
As long as you keep first partition fat32, and second as ext4, it should work.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Did you do it manually, or using my flashable zips? If you used the latter, did you use the A2SD remover script too?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Hi, when I want to reflash 1.1.4 and I have CM 2.0.25 not 3 , do I have to put the new META-INF to the rom zip ?? And then use Data2SD reinstaller v.04Edify immediatelly after reflash?? Or it is not needed the new META-inf ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
StarBurst is now fully compatible with Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0+

StarBurst is now fully compatible with Clockworkmod recovery. The download link has changed to new Edify compatible version. But those who have older Clockworkmod recovery neednt download the new zip. It's the same, except for being about 100mb less in size...

No, nothing's been deleted, relax! :D

There was an extra useless file in yesterday's zip file, that has been removed.

Haven't you got contacts synced with gmail? Sync with gmail so you don't bother with contacts bacup ;)

Backup also system data just in case - as you will be reflashing the same rom, you can revert them with titanium.

Titanium supports autmatic installation (HyperShell) at PRO (paid) version.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thank you, snq. Your kernel clocks an amazing performance.

[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
aha, thnx.

Also, what is in Titanium Backup option "Create update.zip" ?? What does it do?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I believe these might be related to the format on recovery. Never format in recovery. A normal wipe after the rom is installed and before another install should be fine a long as the initial partition our via gparted.

It allows you to make a flashable zip of titanium. The mass restore option in ti is totally worth the donate amount. It was the first app I bought.

EDIT3 - Final test:

Failed.

Restoring my apps and data system (excluding system apps because crash HTC Sense) with Titanium Backup. Reboot phone and message loop on startup "Désolé - Fermeture soudaine de l'application HTC Sense (du processus com.htc.launcher). Merci de réessayer."

I have not connected the wifi and the market
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
I've just bought it. Great. That update.zip will just be the app it self, so when I flash new rom, i can also flash that zip and I'll have Titanium installed??
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone,

Is there any chance there is something wrong with Market at 1.4.0.0 Classic? Rom is working fine but market is crashing after license agreement.

I'm just curious if it's me or is that bug.
[Desire Android Development] nightang3l:
Hi i want to use the Ultimate Theme Kitchen and i was wondering if the rom in the uot starburst 1.3.2 would work with the version i have which is starburst 1.3.3.5? cause i already tried uploading the framework apk for 1.3.3.5 but it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
The same framework.

[Desire Android Development] spdsf:
Same here.

wiped everything and try to reflashing again, but market still crashing after license agreement.
[Desire Android Development] Deus4ever:
i*'ve got the same porblem, just tried to flash bootanimation&batterymod, after rom, before data2sd X1 --> result : bootloop
[Desire Android Development] nightang3l:
i'm actually still stuck in the bootloop using the Starburst 1.3.2 from uot kitchen i only changed the battery and the icons.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
hmmm.. Did you try opening the market on third boot?

I use the same rom which I upgraded to from Standard version. No market issues here

It is not a misbelief, it's a fact. When connected to AC with 1st "StarBurst" kernel, my phone was charging at about 300mA even with an almost empty battery. Normal AC charging rate with an empty batt. is around 800mA.

Even if the reported mode was correct, the charging current was not.

I'll try the last update.

[Desire Android Development] snq-:
userspace tools like currentwidget poll (indirectly, through the sysfs interface provided by the kernel) either the 0x0e:0x0f or the 0x08:0x09 (28sec moving average) registers of the ds2784 gauge ic to display/collect data on "how much current the device is using"

without going into lenghtly discussions over whether this can be used for exact 1:1 measurement of charging current, and neglecting the fact that i experieced about the same values with other kernels i tested (vork's) as with -starburst, i'd say the differences you've experienced are rather significant, and i can't explain them atm

so i apologize for using the inappropriate term misbelief, and will look into the issue
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
Make sure you don't have any android files on sd card ,I saved all my filesn formatted the fat32 partition just in case
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
I had the same problem , wish someone could pinpoint the problem , would really like the circle battery mod
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
Please tell us exactly how u cooked your mods in kitchen, did u use edify script? Which version of cwm are u using

Did u use the ROM in kitchen or did u upload the framework?

If u uploaded the framework did u take it from original ROM. Zip or took out of current ROMs system folder on your phone
[Desire Android Development] PsicheAlCubo:
Ok..so..I found this tutorial online which at the section related to the aligned option explains:

To follow Sibere instructions and chose Alignment MiB Mode..which one should I chose? I mean..should I check "Round to cylinders" or not?
[Desire Android Development] SeanyC:
I also have the same problem. It worked temporarily after trying a "Restore Data" in Titanium Backup but after downloading some App updates it FC'd again and now constantly FC's.

ROM is standard and has been untouched by me. I have a 1.8GB EXT4 partition.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Crashed on third boot, fifth boot, I have even tried to delete it and put diffferent file. Back to 1.3.3.5

Don't know what you are doing wrong. visual changes have nothing common to data2sd and can be applied anytime as long as you perform full reboot after each update.

Exactly. I'm theming StarBurst successfully since v1.1.1a

Well, as I'm using different theme (Scar45's PCB), for cooking kitchen mods, from the list I'm choosing framework not for StarBurst but for PCB.

Maybe you guys add some more info?

- theme you are using (or clean StarBurst Sense?)

- framework you are using (choosen from the list or uploaded own one pulled from your running StarBurst or downloaded from somewhere?)

- if you perform reboot after each update

- if they are really bootloops? Can clearly see it's resetting? Sometimes to unpack resources, it takes up to 15 monutes for me, so chill out and leave the phone as it is for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Regards!
[Desire Android Development] Deus4ever:
I use 1.3.3.5 wit X1 , Framework from list 1.3.2.

Just one Update, then the loops are happening.

Hm,... not really bootloops, but bootaniamtion is just beginning to load and then restarting again and again....just like the first 2 or 3 images of the aniamtion.

Phone won't start even after waiting for 30 minutes.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
You are right about userspace tools, but I got those values also from kernel logs with dmesg (HTC_BATT) which should be accurate enough. I also noted that the phone took way much time than usual to charge-up completely.

Other than that, I really like the way you corrected the driver and looking forward for an update!

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Yes, this is exactly what we call bootloop.

Try to upload your framework and use it with kitchen, or find some nice theme, flash and use its framework for kitchen.

[Desire Android Development] snq-:
wow, i was so wrong on this < thanks for pointing it out

tbh i never noticed the issue as values @a/c were still somewhat higher

it was a faulty condition that prevented _real_ fast-charging on a/c

anyway, here is the fixed version (-110319):

http://tiny.cc/bravo-kernel

i apologize for the inconvenience
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
snq can you provide already undervolted kernels at 875mV? I know about the vdd_levels file in cpufreq folder and how to change it via adb, but on your kernel the file its not there. How else can I manually undervolt?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Considering your great reactivity at correcting this issue, I think that everyone will forgive you :)
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
you can go down to 800mV and up to 1350mV with this kernel

(user tunable svs /freq)

push your vdd script into /system/etc/init.d via adb

here's an <example>, edit it to suit your needs (use a text editor that supports unix-style line endings like notepad++)
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
So I need to make a .txt file in notepad ++ with the example you posted, adjust it to my needs and name it vdd_levels, then push it in system/etc/init.d ?
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
correct.

name it 70vdd_levels or smtg like this

make sure you use unix-style eols (edit > eol conversion > unix format)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
On the Neophyte kernel now, seems to be working fine.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
I have tried the Neo and Sibere kernals the last few days and none work with CIFS. SNQ's kernels all work with CIFS so I am now testing his latest. I hope battery life is good. So far it seems that the Leedroid 2.2f kernels have had better battery life then the recent ones. Just installed the latest one to see how it works. I have not tried using a VDD file should I?
[Desire Android Development] PsicheAlCubo:
Ok..last minute news: I just scored 1960 with quadrant O_O ...without changing a thing!!

Apparently what I did was just to switch it off & pull off the battery for a couple of hours (I was working on the MicroSD) ...don't know what this may say to you but truth is that till that moment I was getting worse and worse result with quadrant every day: the last one before switchin off the device was about 920....even switchin from a home screen to the other was going scatty....!! And just after I switch it on again I noticed it was INCREDIBLY faster and smoother...so I gave it a try with quadrant again and....BOOM: 1960!!!!! :D :D :D

I usually never switch it off...when going to sleep I just put it in "airplane mode" ...maybe it needs to be powered off from time to time?? I'm quite sure that just rebooting won't change anything cause it's the first thing I tried to do when I noticed a drop of its perfomance...
[Desire Android Development] VK7HSE:
Well I've managed 2400+ score on Quadrant, so I'm rather impressed with the results.

As for the report on the market FC in the classic release, I've not had this happen to me.
[Desire Android Development] neoduende:
First hello all and thanks for this rom

My english is poor but I have a one question

This installation is valid for the lite version?

Very Thanks
[Desire Android Development] PsicheAlCubo:
Yeah..well droidzone itself scored 2620..I know many people depending on the SD class & on the Data2SD script of their choice could get higher score than mine.. :) I just had a few probs to get acceptable result till now and was complainin every so & so here in the thread...

Moreover, not only the performance I used to get was quite poor compared to what it was promising but every day I was getting a worse result...without changing anything...so I was getting quite worried and was plannin to move to something else...

But as I explained...a few hours without the battery (don't ask me why...) solved the issue and now I'm fully satisfied by the 1920 scored a few hours ago :D
[Desire Android Development] VK7HSE:
Also don't just base and rom on it's Quadrant score alone (I'm sure you don't!)

My sdcard claims to be class 4
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
OK guys, I've checked the UOT kitchen. Works fine for me with PCB Theme framework.

Someone just asked me if there is option to Disable Trackball wake at StarBurst? Flashable zip maybe? As far as I know DroidZone is away, so anyone?

Regards!
[Desire Android Development] pykaso:
Hi, i tried apply UOT kitchen with only battery icon mod on two HTC Desires with fresh installed ROMs v. 1.3.3.4. (Data2SD w7 on both)

With the newest one i got always bootloop.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I couldn't give a crap about Quadrant scores. It's a phone, not a gaming PC. As long as it feel smooth and responsive, who cares.

Anyway, has anyone tried the Leedroid kernel? Not really seeing any difference on the Neophyte kernel although I suspect it's something running in the background that stops the current draw from flat-lining like it once did (oh that looked beautiful).

I am glad that Starburst has now reached a stable state and I support DroidZone in taking some well earned time off! I will now recommend Starburst to others, and encourage everyone to DONATE if you stick with this ROM. DroidZone has probably barely recovered the cost of his coffee to support this work of art, so it's the least we can do for him. Just chip in what you would pay for a good quality app, it all helps.

On the screen issue, I have had it for as long as I remember too, where it takes a few seconds for the screen to come back on, or several presses of the button. I've got no idea what causes it. It seems to have happened across a few kernels too.

As for undervolting and all that, I'm not touching it. As DroidZone said, you risk a crash, and a crash on Data2sd is NOT good. So I'm going for stability. Stock values are fine with me.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thank you, snq- for the very fast response. I'll update my site with links to your new kernel.

And thank you for this very valuable info. I'll quote you on the Kernel page on the site.

I recollect Sibere telling me that he had similiar experiences, wherein the performance dropped drastically after hours of using the Rom, and that a normal reboot would always fix it. We don't know why that happens, but I recommend that you reboot your system at least once a day.

It could be something to do with Ram utilization and cleanup due to memory fragmentation, similiar to that on Desktop PCs (I'm not sure about this). I've heard people recommending against use of task killers, but I use the app "Taskiller" once in a while to clean up processes (Sense occupies a huge proportion of memory), and also use the app "Autostarts" to disable certain processes from loading up, like Mybackup, Stocks etc.

It can be done by removing the file curcial-oj.kl. If it doesnt work in Adb (rm /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl), you can remove the same file from the Rom (Only use Winzip/Pkzip to remove the file from the zip or to remake the zip) and reflash it.

Or, flash this zip (Just uploaded, untested. Try it and tell me if it works). If it doesnt work, you will have to do the normal Rom reflash (followed by Data2SD reinstaller) after removing the file from Rom first.
[Desire Android Development] plopez7:
I have flashed Classic ROM, and the only one bug is MArket FC...could anyone solved this issue???

And really thanks for this GREAT WORK!!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I recommend that users dont use this version. See my note on the site. I'm very busy atm to announce any realistic date for fixing this.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Fantastic, I'll give the snq kernel a go again. As you know I really prefer to stray off the beaten track as little as possible, so I will await someone to test the updated snq kernel and then migrate back to it.

As for rebooting, curious. I suppose it makes some sense. I still strongly recommend against anyone using task killers - I'm amazed those things haven't been banned for all the misinformation and problems they seem to cause - as they go against the whole point of Android design.

I thought Android did its own cleaning up natively and trying to 'manage' Android just borks it up.

As for my radio version in response to a question a few days ago, I'm not touching that either, unless there is a damn good reason or clear necessity to.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont mean running taskillers to clean up any app that is run. Android does neatly close most apps when you choose the back key. Still there are rogue processes which need a sterner hand to terminate them. Examples include apps with background processes like Poweramp player, Winamp, Mybackup background process etc.

However the reason I use taskillers is very different. If you see the default memory utilization and free mem, you'll typically see around 111Mb free. If you clean up processes like useless widgets, Stocks, Maps, Gallery, News etc, you'll instantly note a huge memory boost (around 220 Mb free) and a peak in system response, esp if used after hours from system startup. So I advise people to use "Taskiller" judiciously..This app seems smarter and doesnt termminate core apps, while killing the weeds.
[Desire Android Development] Freddan80:
And why would you want to have 220 Mb of unused ram? Unused ram is just unused ram and doesn't boast performance. Used ram is used ram and does boost performance the trouble would be if you want to load a app that need more ram than you have available and the system would release the amount of ram needed but Android does that. If you keep killing apps, you will loose performance and drain you battery cause the system will just boot those apps again if you kill a app you are going to use again you will have to coldboot it again which drains battery.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I use both poweramp and winamp, bit of a worry about the background processes?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The system Ram is constant. The Total Ram minus Ram used by background processes is the free Ram which is available for running apps. Have you tried viewing the amount of Ram used by running processes/tasks. Try opening up Poweramp and Rockplayer together and see the amount of Ram that is left, also see whether the system feels as responsive after opening these apps when you have a starting Ram of 100 Mb and another case with 220 Mb.

When you start an app esp one that needs a lot of memory cache, the free Ram immediately drops down. When you try opening another app, if the available Ram is low, you will feel the drag. Our 1Ghz ARM processor is designed for multitasking. If you already run a lot of background processes which hoard Ram, you will soon consume Ram and then it wont help that your processor is advanced. It will be as responsible as a Wildfire.

I like to multitask my Desire. Having free Ram makes that a joy. That's the reason why I stop unnecessary processes. But of course, not running them in the first place would be much better. And just because you stop a process doesnt mean system will start it again. The process will start only if we trip the activity trigger. For Eg: For Titanium backup, one of the trigger is installing a new App. And the triggers can be released by a startup manager like Autostarts. I'm not coercing anyone to use a Task Killer. Just try shutting down unnecessary background processes with one, and see the effect if makes on a Sense Rom. It will start feeling as fluid as an Aosp Rom.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Hi DroidZone.

THX for instructions how to disable wake on trackball. As soon as I get reply, I'll post it.

Also thanx for pointing out conciderate using taskkiller-ish programs. Especially with last releases, I've started experiencing F/Cs after some time of using StarBurst. Typical F/C are "acore" and "gapps" processes, then go all Sense related processes and sometimes I can't even run any new task (Instant F/C).

The same as you already wrote, normal reboot helped for about another day of running.

Now I know I'm a bit overdemmanding sometimes :D

Regards!

Insufficient Storage Error and No Wifi Tether

Hi Droidzone - hope you can help with a couple of issues

1. I'm currently using 1.3.3.4 with TinyData2SD 1.3 however as of this morning I've started to get the 'Insufficient Storage' problem

I have a 1.5GB Ext3, currently showing just over 1.1GB available.

I though this was only likely to be a problem if I used the beta Data2SD?

2. I can't get wifi tethering to work - it creates the hotspot, which I can connect to with laptop and ipad, however neither device has internet access once connected.

I've tried with the froyo hotspot, barnacle and also Open Garden - all give the same result - hotspot created, device connects to hotspot, but no internet available.

I have a good 3G signal, usually capable of delievering a 2.5 meg connection - I've tethered succesfully before on stock, and also on old version of starburst. Any suggestions?

Do you think I might need to reflash a fresh install and try again?

Thanks,
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Are you sure its not your Fat32 partition that is full. USB tethering issue may not be Rom related. Sense Froyo does have erratic issues with tethering. Try using a third party app like easytether and test this.

Classic Market FC has been fixed. Will upload later
[Desire Android Development] zongamin:
Hi Droidzone

I've still got 4GB left of the fat Partition at the moment.

I've tried with Barnacle and Open Garden which are also 3rd Party tether apps, but I'll try with easytether to see if it makes a difference.

I managed to get Open Garden to work temporarily - both the ipad and pc were able to connect at about 2meg, however after I disconnected and tried again it wouldn't work.

I'll try easytether to see if it will work though.

Cheers

EDIT - Just went to market and have managed to get easy tether to install - no 'insufficient space' error this time - hopefully its gone...
