really confused about config.txt

First of all thank you so much dandiest for the wonderful ara v1.3 working great. But I'm a bit confused with the config.txt thing.

Here is exactly what I did

1- downloaded the ara v1.3 and hot fix from that chinese site. (there was no config.txt file)

2- partitioned my 4 GB SD card as follows

1-fat32 3 GB

2- ext4 512 MB

3- ext4 256 MB

4-swap 100 MB

3- copied the hot fix folders as u mentioned and installed the rom using daf

5- The rom is installed and works really great but one strange thing.when I opened the sd card in gparted I found this

1-fat32 3 GB GREEN

2- ext4 512 MB BLUE

3- ext4 unknown format BLACK

4-swap 100 MB RED

Plz tell me if I'm missing anything and what about the config.txt file.

Thankyou.

SD partitioning issue

Hello,

First - thank you for the efforts and time making this rom. I really like it and this is why i spent 2 days trying to make it work as it should.

I have a very frustrating problem - no matter what i do my SD is not recognised in android after the installation. I followed all the instructions, made 3 partitions, tried the config.txt parameters, validated that all 3 partitions are healthy and visible but no matter what i do the SD isnt recognised!

I guess this is why this build works extremely slow (i get a score of about 1100...)

Would appreciate any help on this issue!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
Are you on 4.x ?

You can test format_ext4=8 option, which simulate format_ext4=9 option. Then you can see in init.log final partitions size and cylinders.

If it's ok for you (or changing data_size value), you can use format_ext4=9 option. Be careful, only config.txt and init.log are preserved !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
It means there is a problem of fs recognition on your 3rd partition.

Try our internal format_ext4=9 option.

a little Help Please

Hi,

I would like testing the desire z 4.2 , but I can not find the config file.

I have downloaded the 4.2 and the fix .. can someone please post the default config.

still a question whether it is really

1. I format my SD card in 3 partitions 1 Fat 32 XGB .2 ext4 1Gb. 3 512 ext4.

I flash, then I copy the files from the Fix to the SD card . and need not change the config so? .. Thanks :o

Sorry my English is so Bad but google Translation sux :-)

11. if you set swap_mode=2, it will automatically copy the squashed file to data partition, after that, you can delete the squashed.sqsh file from /system using ASTRO file explorer

->

Hello all!

Impossible to delete squashed.sqsh but when it delete (magic????), the rom don't loading...

The config "swap_mode=2" is in the config.txt before flashing, it's ok??

Thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skyalvinlee:
This works!!!! tested it, worked like a bloody charm damn. thanks man!!!! i just removed the boot_mode=2 so my config looks like this;

ppp_mode=0

data_img=1

format_ext4=0

for people using data.img and loading from nand,

1. right click and make a text file on your desktop,

2. copy the 3 lines above,

3. paste in the text file and rename it to config,

4. now put this config file in your Desire_dl folder at the root of your sd card

This should be done BEFORE 1ST BOOT

happy booting!

3000 on Quadrant- what am I making wrong?

Hey Guys, I used 3.5 for a couple of weeks, but I wasn't happy with the battery lifetime.

So I decided to go for NAND 4.2 ... Battery life is incredible, but what about the performance?

I think that I am making something wrong. I made 3 Partitions. Then, on first boot had format_ext4, and also after a couple times of booting, I decided to configure swap_mode=3, because Market and Install was very laggy.

But all in all it isn't that smooth as it was on 3.5 SD?? Especially when I open calendar or mail its kind of lazy. Has anybody a clue?

My Quadrant score was three times roundabout 1790.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kuku2004:
Hello freak007, thank you for your answer.

I am on the latest 4.2 + init 4.1, i installed from fresh including the hotfix. i cannot find any init.log file (is it supposed to be on the SD?). i tried format_ext4=9 with the same result - "SD card blank", quadrant score is about 1200, interface is very very laggy.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] confar:
is not important numbers in quadrant... tell us how feel this room.... laggy or same like 3.5?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
ok, just create fat32 partition on sdcard, then boot with format_ext4=8 inside config.txt, and send me init.log.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] orderme:
Well I think I described it already: For me the 4.2 seams more laggy, especially on calendar and mail. But maybe I'm doing something wrong ... ?

Phone Data not working with 1.3s...

Hello Dandi,

I just installed 1.3s and its still plagued with the same problem of locked APNs in settings :(

I have installed the hot-fix and everything I could find in the thread but the APN still remain locked and I couldn't get phone data working :(

I would love to use this build as 4.2 is not fast enough for my liking and I felt this 1.3s much smoother and zippier then v4.x.

Please do something to fix this problem as I am facing this issue with all versions of 1.x and I don't want to use 4.x at this moment :(

Regards.

Ehsan
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ehsan76:

But is here any way to unlock these locked APNs??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
it is weird, can you try the following:

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ehsan76:
Didn't work :(

APNs are still the same.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
then, try

adb shell chmod 777 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

if still have problem, you may have to edit the apn config in the apns-conf.xml.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ehsan76:
I have installed the ARB 1.3 as I tried to edit the apn-config but that didnt work either.

Now I am on the ARB 1.3 and will let you know if I face any further problem on it.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] christarius:
So I've been running DL Desire 4.2 since it came out and I thought I might share my experiences so far and perhaps some tips I picked up on the way.

First off the install. I decided to try out the new init and see if it worked as advertised.

#I started by backing up my data (android data using Titanium backup and SD data by copying to my pc).

#Next I edited the config.txt so that it would format and partition my SD card on first boot after a flash. (Format_ext4=9)

#I also opted for the 3 partition setup without data.img and set the size to 1Gb. All this is pretty easy to set up in the config test. No need for gparted anymore.

#After the usual flashing and rebooting x4 procedure the phone seemed ready to use. Performance seemed a bit sluggish however and I'm not only talking about quadrant numbers.

#I had however switched on the SD and nand boost options in the config.txt After disabling these performance was greatly improved for me.

#After several days of use I can now say the following:

- It is the smoothest and most stable build I've had so far (don't forget to apply the updates)

- There is a slight to moderate freeze when installing apps (nothing crazy though)

- When syncing the phone tends to become slow and freeze up slightly too. However functionality returns after sync is done.

- Battery life seems quite a lot better than 4.0 and even 3.4. This is based on my "usage" experience and not on any current apps. I get quite a lot of game, surf and app time out of a fully charged battery.

- I haven't had to reboot my phone yet due to performance or freezing issues.

All in all I am most impressed with this ROM. I dare to say it is the best one I've had so far. It is fast, responsive and everything I use works. My only criticism is that I could do without the Launchkey app.

If possible it would be nice if the phone did not freeze on sync or app install. I'm not sure if this is a realistic wish however...

I hope this review, or collection of ramblings helps. Thanks again to Dandiest and Freak for making this awesome ROM!

DL v4.2 with hot fix v2.0 feedback

I would like to share my little feedback related to SD version of DL v4.2

This is amazing build but in general it may needs some improvements (if possible) to become the perfect one.

I use SD version with 3 partitions: 1st fat, 2nd 1GB ext4: 3rd 512KB ext4

Below I listed some problems which I met with importance order:

1. SOD - after switched to v4.2 I got few SODs (for me it is first time I met this at all).

After a long period of testing I got clue that it may be related to phone application and proximity sensor issue.

The first SOD I got after the phone call when my screen remained black and there was no chance to turn it on.

After the boot everything was normal until I made another phone calls. After that I was not able to get screen on after standby.

EDIT:

It was huge problem for me (every call ended with SOD) but it looks I solved it. I replaced htcleo.acdb from fix v2 with the htcleo.acdb from update.incallvolume.0202201101 added by dandiest at the begining of DL v4.2.

So for me the only working solution is update.incallvolume.0202201101. My radio is: 2.15.50.14

It was to optimistic - I just got SOD after the call :(

2. Proximity sensor lag: during the phone conversation when the screen is off it took to long time to get the screen back on.

I check with the Proximity Sensor Recalibrator that my sensor is working fine.

EDIT:

Sometimes during call, my screen is not getting on at all - then I have to cover and uncover the proximity sensor few times to get the screen on.

3. System lag during and just after installing application. The lags have been decreased after hot fix v2 but they still appear.

4. System slow downs - from time to time I could observe the system slow down for a while and then it returns to normal performance. After some checks I probably found the issue: I have a lot of SMSs stored in the system. When I set the HTC messages widget (the second one with the SMS list) after phone is switched on system needs to refresh my all messages and this is causing the whole systems slows down. I think maybe this could be improved by increasing cash size for widget? (I am a nob here). Additionally I noticed system slow downs during refreshing twitter HTC widget.

5. HTS news widget - when it is set it completely messing all remaining HTC widgets.

6. From time to time Wifi stops work after returning from standby - to solve this I have to switch Wifi off then switch it on. This is common for Android version I tested so I don't think so there is a fix...

Besides of that it is the best build ever - thank you!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bigu1975:
It is not a bug - you should use the application called LaunchKey to assign this Key to prefered action.

As it is general question here maybe this could be added to FAQ section on the first post?

hang on the DL v4.2 with hot fix v2.0

Dandiest and Freak007

I tried the DL v4.2 with hotfix v2.0 and over 30 min, my HD2 is "Andoid DL Desire Series" black screen. this issue happened on DL v4.2 and the it has been fixed with the fix.init.v4.1... but it happned again with hotfix v2.0 on SD...

What do I have to fix it? Should I use the fix.init.v4.1 without any benefits of hotfix v2.0? :confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bigu1975:
I think your problem is caused by new initrd.gz. To have all benefits from fix v2 you can simply copy the initrd.gz from fix v1 into the fix v2. For SD you have to replace initrd.gz in both directories: UPDATE_DL and DESIRE_DL

Updated with latest hotfix and once again the hotfix killed HTC Sense, widgets don't update or show data at all. Removing HTC News Widget from hometab FC HTC Sense. Guess this has something to do with the "update" of greader app and widget.

If I am doing something wrong, can someone give step by step installation for DesireZ V4.2 for NAND.

Do I need to partition my Micro SD before installation ?
