I have had a few random reboots as well, including one reboot which somehow managed to delete my whole contact list (I had a recent back up on the SD card so no harm done, but still!).

I am also getting a very frequent Force Close of htc.com.bgp.. I can't seem to pinpoint it to when I am using a certain application, its just seems to happen every now and then..

BTW, I am running 1.1.8 with no change to the kernal, I'm going to move to 1.2.1 now and give that a go..

Desire stuck on HTC Logo whem reboot

Hello guys!

I followed the instalation steps for two times and i'm very sure that i didnt do it anything wrong, even with the partitions i used the Gparted live.

But after i flashed the Data2SD, my desire stucks on boot HTC Logo.

What i did wrong? I can find anything wrong!

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Desire Android Development] kamelot.sk:
Are you sure you used data2sd installer and NOT REinstaller?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
is voice dialling working for you guys?
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
Bonjour :-)

The USB debugging starts at each reboot, even if you uncheck the box.

Is this normal ?

v1.2.0 and v1.2.1.

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] theloother:
All

I am getting a "unable to manage your messages because your storage is full" error. I have several gig of internal memory free

I installed the ROM, did a full wipe, installed the data2sd patch and reinstalled all my apps. thats when i noticed the error. I tried reinstalling the rom without wiping and then I installed the data2sd reinstaller but the error still remains

I have 10867 of 11273MB internal memory free

I have 1213 of 3809 sd memory free

Any ideas what i can do to fix the issue?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I'm getting this too, and that it goes back to 2G / 3G on every boot, even though I want to lock it to 3G as on Three we get roaming charges if we use 2G.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Could we consider using Dropbox? The 'free' downloaders are slow and cumbersome.

Also - is Facebook / Contacts sync working ok for everyone? It seems when my Facebook contacts have their phone number in their profile, it over-rides the phone number in my contact with <countrycode>number which won't dial, as opposed to +<countrycode><number> or <0>number which I have stored, and work.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You didn't even install it the right way. Follow my step by step procedure and don't deviate from it.

Settings not locking is a known feature of data2sd. I think both sibere and I have explained that before. This should be resolved when sibere's new code comes out of beta.

I've already bought premium hosting at these two sites for starburst so I can't change servers. Anyway I had to move to these sites because dropbox couldn't handle the excess traffic and shut down my account on the first day that I launched star burst.

Force close of apps happen when initial installation was not done properly. I've yet to experience any such issues on my phone which I've been using since day one, and so u'd understand why I can't solve these sporadic issues.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I'm also getting those.

From my observations and searches I found out it is related to:

> Facebook

> Callendar

> GMail cache

Solution that I found out and helps (at least for some time):

Clear data and cache of mentioned apps ... and don't use Titanium to restore system apps (only user's + data + links).

...But I think 99% it may be caused by FaceBook app as they made some recent updates.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmm.. That actually makes a lot of sense. Probably why people using starburst are experiencing it. You actually have the latest updates of everything. I've already warned about titanium. Its the root of a lot of troubles. It'd help if people using titanium to restore apps would not post bug reports here. If you do have to use it, cautiously restore only app , and not app plus data. Also do not restore any htc app.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
When I restore User apps + data it's all working fine. Only htc.com.bgp happens sometimes but it's not any kind of trouple for me as I'm not using FaceBook excessively (mostly for contact thumbnails).

I've just found something useful that is worth of pinpointing / adding to WIKI:

When you open internet browser, type "about:debug", you are getting hell of new settings in your browser, including recognition as PC/iPhone etc. Very useful for more demmanding users.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Hi, I had a similar issue the 1st time I installed. It is very important during the installation of the ROM and 1st boot that you DO NOT enter your google login and password or wifi connection info. Just enter Country language info and skip all of the rest and then reboot and run the data2SD installer script. Then reboot and enter your google account data. Since doing it like that the ROM has been perfectly stable for me.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I can confirm this. From my observations and strugglings with DATA2SD scripts - after first installation:

> No personal data / settings (skip all you can to avoid errors and f/c's like com.htc.bgp process)

> No installation of user applications (do it after DATA2SD script)

> No updates from the market

> any visual changes (flashable) followed by reboot each time are OK as they don't involve /data/ folder

> Be patient and give the phone time after each reboot as it might boot up much longer (up to a few minutes after each visual modifficaiton and DATA2SD script installation)

This gives me stability :D
[Desire Android Development] Lanbase:
max size for ext partition is 2 gb, otherwise the market wont install apps... nothing to with your error i think but just to let you know....

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] vietnam123:
Can you post link download in Mediafire.com or Dropbox.com.

I have problem with hotfile.com & easy-share.com.

Thank you so much.
[Desire Android Development] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
The answer just a few post before your...
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
To be honnest with you, I don't use titanium. Whether I backup my ext partition with a nandroid backup, whether I use tar in recovery mode. Backing up a file system while it's in use is not a very good idea. Some files may be locked by the system and the restore can end up with messy or corrupted files.

So for me, Nandroid and tar are my favorite choice.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I think new facebook application should be investigated.

I had some troubles with rom after new facebook update from the market.

First F/C of htc.com.bgp process then unexpected reboot a few times followed by the F/C of everything. I made clean install of v1.2.0 and after facebook update it has gone all over again and rebooted once. After that I spotted it logged me out from facebook app widget (not facebook for sense). I don't touch this crap and I don't get reboots and F/Cs today.

There is other susspect - DroidWall. I'll check how it's doing today.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I'm having dramas with Facebook too, with me it's the number over-ride that I've narrowed it down to. Facebook over-rides phone numbers with it's own from contacts without the + and with a country code so the phone can't dial them, extremely annoying. The workaround is to de-link Facebook, change the desired number to Fax, mark the correct number as primary, then re-link Facebook, then change the number back to Mobile. Seems to work. I just have a few contacts to do this with now though.

It only started doing this in the last few weeks.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Well, let's clear one thing. There are 2 separate apps:

> Facebook for Android

> Facebook for HTC Sense

At my previous post I clearly stated it's Facebook for Android that causes F/C of bgp for me. After disabling it, I have no issues so far.

@koukise..

I thank you for your donation. I know you donated for promoting an Arabic version of StarBurst. Since I'm going to be very busy for quite some time, I cant promise whether I can work on such a project any time in the immediate future.. So I have refunded the donation. If I commence work on an Arabic version, I will let you know..I'm also taking down that part of the text in the OP which stated that. This is a big project and very time consuming. I will keep it on my list of future ventures though..
[Desire Android Development] koukise:
Hi Droidzone

I also donate to thank you for your work.

We know for Arabic, it is a huge job and also Google has not fully implement in Android 2.3.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] nanot:
A really good rom, dude.

But how the hell can I remove that ugly looking idrops-keyboard?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Buy your own keyboard. I use SwiftKey.
[Desire Android Development] nanot:
I am using the htc-mod. But it's also colored blue since the flash of the new version of this rom..
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I have also noticed that when I sync contacts from my Exchange work account that the numbers sync as <countrycode><number> and this won't dial either.

How is contact syncing working for everyone else for Facebook and Exchange numbers?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I cant do much about the things HTC has crapped up in their software, other than maybe revert to an older version of those if it can be proven that the new software is the problem.

Other than that, are there any real bugs that need to be taken care of? Or any wishes for the new versions? As before, two versions will be continued. One kept stock for people who dont like customizations, and a Standard version with apps and some more features (though no themes).
[Desire Android Development] dk.baxter:
Is there any chance in the next rom, you can include a keyboard that can be calibrated? The Android Keyboard doesn't have a calibrate option, and the HTC_IME_mod keyboard will force close if you try and calibrate it..

At the moment I'm using the HTC_IME_mod keyboard because its more customizable and I'm picky about how I type, but I would like to be able to calibrate the keyboard I use..

On the other hand I'm very impressed with the rom, thanks very much Droidzone!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If the original HTC keyboard is the only one that offers calibration , I'll bring that back. If there's another free one which offers it, it can be added too if you can suggest one.
[Desire Android Development] nanot:
So, is it possible to get the HTC-colors back or not?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No idea what you're talking about. I havent modified any colors in the Rom. If you dont like the keyboard, just get the Lite edition. You can add any apps you want to it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'd initially thought of scrapping the Standard edition with additional apps and keyboard. But the poll as it stands now shows 46 people for Standard (+Lite) and 80 to keep both. People who want only Lite are 43. So Standard edition definitely seems to be in demand. So I'll be releasing both.. :)
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Hi boss,

I must say I am really happy with the ROM and I am still on 1.1.8, I had a short spell where the screen was black and the buttons were on...only happened 3 or 4 times and it seams to have cleared itself?

I will not be upgrading because everything works perfect and is just how I want it. If of course something big happens and there is a major update then I most probably will flash?

I have installed the "gingerbread" keyboard which I think is great and also the "BrightSilence Black Espresso" theme which again works great with the ROM along with the "couttstech" kernel.

All in all and I really pleased and would like to thank Droidzone and anyone else involved for an amazing ROM and for making us able to use our desires how it should have been in the first place.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:) I'm glad. Sibere's the other person to be thanked, because if there was no data2sd, there wouldn't have been any point in making Starburst. I was using his code with other roms when I realized that there really should be a rom with it built in. I asked him if he would be releasing one and since he was fully engaged with data2sd, I had to. :)
[Desire Android Development] nanot:
Yes, I was talking about the keyboard. I really like your ROM and it took me hours to restore all the apps and settings. That's why I was wondering if there's a possibility to get rid of the blue keys.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
idrops is an HTC_IME mod based on jonasl. You can replace it with any HTC IME mod keyboard. Just search XDA for those. There are lots of them. See adbirdie's collection of mods. There are keyboards looking just like HTC keyboard, but with additional smiley key. There are also Gingerbread lookalikes.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I'm not so much pointing at Starburst (which I think is excellent btw) than trying to identify the cause of the problem by finding pattterns, mainly by seeing if it is effecting anyone else.
[Desire Android Development] bravensis:
Hello guys,

Im going crazy, i tried 3 times step by step with minisite instructions, but when i flash the Data2SD, the phone freezes in HTC Logo, i dont know what i can do more.

I dont have that thing you call S-Off or S-On, and probably this is the main cause, is it??

I very near to give up...

This is what i did:

- Gparted partition, first 6,5gb on fat 32 primary and then 1,1gb on ext 4 primary

- turn on the phone and go to clockmod recovery

- did a wipe factory reset, wipe cache and then install Starbust zip

- reboot, choose language and the rest and then went to recovery

- install data2sd zip

- reboot but then freezes in Htc Logo

Any help??
[Desire Android Development] kamelot.sk:
Have you waited enough? The first boot after flash can be longer than normal.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Post a logcat. Instructions are in the previous pages. Search this thread for "logcat" (or see the Resources section of the minisite). It wont be possible to help without the log. Apparently you've done everything properly. S-Off is not required for the rom.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
I flashed this ROM last night, and it stayed on the HTC logo for 9 minutes! - Fear not, it then booted into the ROM with 1.6gb free internal space!.. Patience is your friend!.. Try it again and if after say 20 mins (overkill!!) - it is still on the HTC logo, then report back. My guess is it will work if you have followed the excellent and detailed instructions! :)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I had problems with a bad format on two different phones for different ROMs too, do you have any other card you can try?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
New Kingston SD card 4 times slower!

Hi all, I'm in need of your sage wisdom again.

I have a new Kingston class 4 16GB card which I have partitioned with Gparted. I have a 15GB Primary fat32 partition and a 1GB Primary ext4 partition. I have nadroided my old 4GB sandisk class 4 and copied all the files to the new 16GB card (fat32 partition). Shut down the phone, swapped the cards, did a nandroid restore, rebooted the phone. 7 Minutes later its up and running like a three legged dog with gout :-( All apps runnig CPU at 100% and very very sluggish.

On the old card I was getting 1:50 startup times. Now I get 7:+ minutes. After multiple reboots and repartions of the card, same problem. Put the old card back in, nandroid restored, back to super fast. Ran a fresh nandroid, repartitioned card (I've tried different size ext4's between 1 and 2GB) put the new card back, nandroid restored, still slow.

Do I have a duff 16GB card or am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I can try before I send the card back?

Thanks in advance,

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You could try a fresh partition followed by a fresh install on the new card. Then restore apps with Titanium (apps only, no data, also dont restore any htc apps), and see again. Another way is to see the actual speed of the card with a benchmark util like diskmark..
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Good advice.

Do a bench of your card on the FAT32 partition .

Did you aligned the 2 partitions? How did you format the ext4 partiton? Did you use the stripe and stride options to align the filesystem ?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
New Kingston SD card 4 times slower!

Hi all, I am in need of your sage wisdom again.

I got a new 16GB Kinsgston Class 4 SDHC to replace my 4GB Class 4 Sandisk.

My phone already has Starburst 1.18 on it so I just wanted to fit the new card and keep the phone as it is.

I formatted the new 16GB with Gparted, creating first a fat32 primary 15GB part. and then a 1GB ext4 primary part.

Booted the phone in recovery and ran a backup.

Copied the contents of old SD fat32 to new SD fat32. Booted phone in recovery and ran the restore.

Booted the phone and 7 minutes later it's up and running with everything working but very very slowly. Phone normally takes about 1:50 to boot but now takes 6 - 7 mins every time. CPU appears to run at 100% most of the time and the phone is extremely sluggish.

I've tried putting the old card back in and restoring it and that works fine, phone back to full speed, all data intact.

I've repartitioned the SD card, I've tried different size ext4 partitions but always it ends with a slow phone. Working, but too slow to use.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a duff SD card? Is there anything else I can try before I send the card back?

Thanks in advance,

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Slow Kingston

Thanks for the quick responses and sorry for the duplicate post, tried to delete it but couldn't see how :-(

I selected the mib align option in gparted. Didn't see those options you mentioned but I'll partition it again and look for them.

I'll download a benchmarker and see what I get. I'll also try the selective titanium restores too.

Thanks a million for all the help guys and well done on a great ROM.

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Uuhh sorry to be slow and demanding, but I don't see any options for stride or stripe in the gparted livecd version I'm using (Gparted 0.7.1). Where would I find them and what do I set them to?
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
There is a thread in the Desire Accessories section on this card. lots of people are complaining that it is very slow. I recommend you return it if possible. I have a Sandisk 16GB C4 that works great with this Rom. No lag at all.
[Desire Android Development] bravensis:
20 minutes, i think the problem is with the sd card, when i tried to do nandroid backup, the system says that cant mount the sd card...
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
To get your partition nicely formatted and aligned, you have to do it manually (see DATA2SD OP) or with a script. I've seen one or 2 around here. I'm not sure but from memory droidzone script is formatting correctly the EXT4 partition.

Otherwise, your SD may be faulty/have issues with the desire hardware.
[Desire Android Development] bravensis:
Wow! I thought i was dumm but not so dumm, i dont understand how to do a logcat, my sdk tools are instaled, but adb isnt there, when i use gparted, the partitions are done well, sorry, im a little bit frustrate with myself.

For those who helped me and you Droidzone, my truly thanks!! I will try again but not today...
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Just be careful when you order cards, I got duped by MSY here in Australia when I had it stated, twice, over email, that I was getting a class 4 card, and got a class 2 instead, by then it was too late as I was leaving for overseas the next day and just had to take the card. So be careful.

With funny cards, I think I fixed mine by formatting using the phone settings option, and then plugging the SD card directly in to a reader and formatting with Gparted, without any fancy options.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
My phone number sync issues seem to effect Exchange as well - where Exchange synced numbers over-ride my Google sync'd numbers with <countrycode><number> - anyone else got this issue? I'm trying to pin down where this problem is coming from, if I have installed an app that has screwed it up or if it's a known issue or what.

Would the data2sd script work on any pre rooted stock Rom with initd support if I used neos kernel
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Just a strange/simple question?

I have tried changing the notification sound by adding my mp3 in the folder media/sounds/notifications...or something like that, anyway it is the correct path.

My mp3 is being displayed and I am able select it from the settings menu...the problem being, it is always my standard tone :-( when I select the file from explorer and play it, it is correct. This is driving me crazy! Can anyone tell me whats going on?

Oh, when I first flashed the ROM (a while back) I added some of my own tones to the .zip file if that has anything to do with it?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The minisite instructions are very detailed on how to use the logcat. If you dont have adb, reinstall the sdk.

Not the one on StarBurst thread. Use the one from Data2SD thread.

Not a StarBurst issue. Never had this happen to me.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Any new ideas for additions to StarBurst? Not language libraries though.. I cant get to these for some time.. Anything else that anyone has liked on other Roms and missed in StarBurst? I dont think there are many of these, but if I've missed something, let me know..
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
Request: Please link me to a Z based ROM if you've made one, or please make one if you haven't! :D

[haven't seen this kinda stability on any other ROM \m/ ]
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
I think your Rom is running perfect, I am using v1.1.8 still and haven't even upgraded to the v1.2 as everything is working so well. Thanks for making my Desire like it should have been when I opened the box from HTC.

Only thing that could make me someday decide to leave is if you created a D HD Rom as good as this one :-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No I havent made one.

Porting a rom from another device is a messy affair. Since the rom was originally never intended to be used on another device, we've got to replace libraries, patch binaries and libraries and even cutup files to fit in NAND. So you can imagine the amount of time needed to be spent in supporting the rom..Definitely not my cuppa. :)

When you stick to a Desire rom on the Desire, you get a lot of stability and less issues. So no plans to make a Z/HD rom atm..Plus there are a couple of ok roms out there with stock Z/HD options.

My next plan is for a Gingerbread Sense rom if HTC releases one..Or make an AOSP Gingerbread rom from scratch..Probably not for some time though..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
By the way, I'm doing some inhouse experimentation with Z/HD roms. But I dont think I'm going to release one any time soon though..
[Desire Android Development] Draciel882:
I was hoping you might be able to help me with my problem that involves Starburst.
