Ok right I'll give it another go prob cause I'm fake flashing cwm as I have ra recovery 2.1 for coolexe sense 3
[Desire Android Development] GodGift:
I'm new to flashing this stuff and i spent whole sat evening flashing this one to my Desire and I'm using CM7r2 and had no problems with that at all. I'm on test3 now and all working good.

@davkav - try to put different CWM. Had the same problem, found solution in this topic somewhere and it worked for me. (Don't remember numbers of CWM I used but if it helps it didn't work on CWM that had blue font but installed one with orange font and flashed without any problems! :P)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I'm on "blue font" cwm, meaning 2.5.1.8 :)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Could be. Lucky flashing :)
[Desire Android Development] rajesh1108:
why can't we apply kitchen mod in this version. I have cook a uot kitchen mod with battery, font and boot animation. After applying only boot animation and fonts works, nothing for battery. Have cook with uploaded files framework-res and system ui. I'm using the cm7 version(2.0). Any ideas how we can tackle this issue.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Have you checked "Flashing for data++ Rom" on the left side of the file upload menu in kitchen?

Edit: you don't have to upload those files, just choose rcmixs a2sd 2.0 from rom menu.
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
Does anybody please have a mod to share with stock wifi status indicator but in green, stock signal strength but in green and green battery with percentage.

I am still on 1.4 cm7 and seem to have difficulty cooking my own mod. :mad:

I think i saw similar earliar in the thread provided by reef2009 but cannot find a link to it.

I have allready installed a battery mod and was wondering, if i flashed another such mod, would it overwrite the first mod without causing any problems??
[Desire Android Development] pluto987:
Sorry the link for "Battery mod for v1.1 A2SD Bravo HBoot" don't work :-(

Have you any other link for battery mod and Bravo HBoot?

Thanks for you help.
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
there should be no problem with space with test3 and cm7orig

cm7 orig had 130MB system / 5MB cache / 302MB data

test 3 usage on /system (rest of directories - app and framework - contains links to external partition on sd, and sd is the external partition and doesn't count for system partition usage)

/system

8.6M	./bin

4.5M	./customize

9.7M	./etc

5.2M	./fonts

63.4M ./lib

3.4M	./media

8.2M	./usr

6.5K	./virtuous

5.7M	./xbin

____________

about 109MB
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
the two files framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk are completely replaced, so yes, no problem.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
There's a new base been released by HTC Asia, it's Ace Gingerbread S 2.37.707.3. More info here. Some people say it has improved camera. Maybe some other stuff too. There's a stock rooted zip somewhere on the 3rd page.
[Desire Android Development] nevara:
ok, if i partition my sdcard with AmonRA, will it extend my existing EXT3 partition, or add a NEW EXT partition, which i don't want?
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
It'll repartition the card meaning it'll wipe the contents of both SD-EXT and FAT32.

Yes, you'll need to backup the card and do a full wipe/reinstall, but it's quicker than buggering about with virtualbox and GParted (or even MiniPartition Tool on windows) Not to mention the problems you could come across with a resized partition - In my experience RCMix requires a complete repartition and wipe to be 100% stable when coming from another ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Harnec:
Can anyone post old lockscreen so I can flash it please, thanks
[Desire Android Development] nevara:
The old lockscreen should be already included. Check settings.
[Desire Android Development] Harnec:
odd shortcut problem

I didn't see any post about this issue therefore I wanted to ask whether anyone has same experience and has a solution.

I don't why but moving some apps from phone memory to sd increases my internal phone memory (for example google earth), but not all of them regardless of their size.

However, if I move an app from phone memory to sd and make a shortcut of it. The shortcut icon utnrs into default android icon after reboot (as if the app is uninstalle).

I have no idea about this :)
[Desire Android Development] Harnec:
if you mean the option to turn on the stock android lockscreen (displa settings), it doesn't change anything.
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
if i understand you correctly:

first, you don't have any app on internal memory (data nand) because of A2SD, if we speak of apps as apk's.

system apps are symlinks in /system/app (system nand) to /system/sd/app_s (ext partition on sd)

user apps are in /data/app, which is a symlink to /system/sd/app directory

so none of user or system apks take place on internal nand storage

prefs, db's, gernerally data of apks are on /data/data, which takes space on internal storage no matter where the associated apk's live.

so moving around apk's and symlinks is allready made by rominstall and a2sd script, and additional doing this makes no sense.
[Desire Android Development] Harnec:
Before I moved google earth from phone to sd (from settings>applications) my avaible internal storage was around 32-33 mb (settings> sd&phone storage) right after I moved this app to sd I checked internal storage again and it was 50mb. So why does this happen ?
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
so i did not understand you correctly ;-) maybe because you said making symlinks to apps?

using settings -> applications to move app to sd means moving apps to a special part (mounted directory) on the fat32 partition. on froyo it was often refered as native app2sd, and in earliest times of android there was no way to use apps from sd at all. then came the "workaround" a2sd, and then app2sd from android (with froyo).

this moves also the data part of the app away from internal memory so you get more space on internal.

the disadvantage from app2sd is that you cannot move system apps, and only user apps that are special written to be allowed to be moved to fat32 part.
[Desire Android Development] alroze:
As you come from another ROM (Leedroid) did you full wiped before installing ?

(in recovery : clear cache and dalvik-cache, format system, data, sd-ext...)
[Desire Android Development] alroze:
You must check : "Flashing for data++ Rom" before cooking, and mount system and sd-ext in recovery before you flash
[Desire Android Development] Harnec:
Thanks for the explanation, what do you think about the shortcuts icons ? As I said when I move the app from phone to sd the icon turns into default android icon.
[Desire Android Development] maersi:
No Official GB

TAIWANESE SMARTPHONE MAKER HTC has announced its Desire handset will not be getting the Android upgrade it had promised.

HTC has disappointed Desire owners by telling them that they will no longer be getting the upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread that it promised back in February. The announcement came only an hour ago via its Facebook page.

The post on the social notworking web site (sic) continued to explain that it wasn't possible because a lack of memory meant that the phone couldn't have both Gingerbread and HTC Sense. HTC apologised by saying, "We're sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you."

But we don't care, we have Robo.

@Robo, maybe you should write to the folks at HTC, telling them how to do it ;)
[Desire Android Development] GodGift:
Well, we can see that even if this Rom by Robocik works fine and looks promising everyone can agree that there is difference in efficiency of the system itself comparing to stock Rom. And we have to understand that HTC is a business and they have to sell new phones and providing too much support for old ones is not the way to do it. Thanks to XDA DEV and people like Robocik we can enjoy latest Android OS and latest Sense on our, quite old, phones.
[Desire Android Development] paul.c:
Kudos @ Robo !

Maybe the geniuses at HTC should include additional internal memory in their phones like Samsung does. A 2 Gb extra memory sould do the trick for future updates.
[Desire Android Development] H88RRY:
That being said ain't Apple also a business? The iPhone 3Gs has been supported with updates from 3.1.3 to 4.X and now with iOS5.X looming which it will be getting. Ain't that the same as HTC supporting their old devices

And its older then our desires.
[Desire Android Development] H88RRY:
On a separate note I've been using test3 for a couple of days now n I gotto say its working perfect for me.

The battery is draining faster than usual but I'm guessing that's because of the new rosie

Just saying.......
[Desire Android Development] GodGift:
Yes, DesireS etc will get updates. You forgot about first iPhone, iPhone 3G which does get updates but only a partial which is more or less we got so no big difference. It's a normal policy. And they know there is big group of enthusiasts here, on this forum doing the job so why invest in something, that develop by itself?
[Desire Android Development] paul.c:
My battery drain is normal. Since this morning I used 30 %.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
iPhone 3G was released 3 years ago. iPhone 3GS was released 2 years ago and it will recieve 5.x update. HTC Desire was released only a year ago (give or take a few months depending on the country)... Thank God for XDA (and especially Robocik)... :)
[Desire Android Development] GodGift:
Again - how many phones has Apple released in last few years and compare it to HTC;]

And again - thanks Robocik and XDA DEV! :)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Good point. Yes, HTC has released a few phones (talking about android ones here), and they're all getting updated and/or have been from their release. What bothers me the most is that they announced it, promised, and then broke their word.
[Desire Android Development] FoRmaTiTo:
It's like back when I had a HTC Trinity, then reviewed as one of the best PDAs (as they were called back then), just as the Desire was regarded one of or even the best phones only a few months ago.

The Trinity got WM 6 in other markets, but never in Europe.

Customer support was also terrible when asked about WM6, because if you asked five representatives you got eight different answers.
[Desire Android Development] KRolands:
Is Desire photo camera really bad comparing with Desire Z or this ROM has something wrong with camera? When I take photo with Desire Z it looks vivid and really good but with Desire with RCMIx S 2.0 it looks really bright and in bad quality any ideas why?

E: it is because of scrached Desire back cover.
[Desire Android Development] davkav:
Yep. Cleared the above and tried a different version of clockwork. No joy :(

Ive used the original RCMixHD without problems also. I just cant seem to get this ROM to load on to my phone.

I used the Tiny Linux version of Alpharev rather than the android flasher would that cause any problems?
[Desire Android Development] jazzmega:
Is this ROM only, I have to change to cyanogenmod for that too
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
It's not the ROM at all.

Take the back cover off the desire and take a picture, you'll find it's the crappy piece of clear plastic on the back cover in front of the camera lens. Pop that bit of plastic off and vivid perfect pictures.

Edit - Found the pictures I took with and without that cover on:
[Desire Android Development] daddyspud:
Jesus big difference man I'm tempted to just break the plastic bit n keep it open lol
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
Completely off topic but I'm also watching south park :D lol

Edit: wow, the cover thing really does make a difference

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
That's exactly what I did, been that way for a few months and it's not got any dust or any scratches on the camera lens itself. Seems the raised section on the back cover is enough to protect it.
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
yes it's the cheap crappy piece of plastic covering the lens on the back cover...it was a big talking point about a year ago, so I removed mine and have never looked back, it was like removing a cataract from my eyes...!
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I'm guessing I need the Bravo CM7 r2 Bootloader for this?
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Old cm7 hboot will suffice.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Hmm... flashing fails with "error in /sdcard/RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip (status 0)"
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Old CM7 HBoot works fine, running Test3 fine here.
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
checklist:

x) wiped all: sd-ext, dalvik-cache, cache, data ?

x) extern partition 1GB or more (and smaller 2GB)? formated correctly ext3/ext4?

x) partitions on sd ok? filesystem check ok? both fat32 and ext3/4 primary partitions?

x) screen on volume down/poweron: correct hboot version shown? same as rom-zip version?

x) checksum rom-zip ok?

edit: 1GB <= extern partition size < 2GB
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
What is the best way to partition the sd card? The Alpharev recovery doesn't seem to have options for ext types etc.
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
on pc with cardreader: gparted (linux gparted live cd or usb stick) or in virtualbox

+ advantage you can align the partitions to MiB, which makes filesystems operations faster

on phone: amon ra or clockworkmod recoveries

+ advantage: you don' t need a card reader
[Desire Android Development] klefreak:
Does someone also get FC when sometimes answering a call from lockscreen ??

--> i can still talk to people but instead of ending the call via red buton i have to "close" the app..

this apeared since 2.x (now im on 2.1 test3)

i downt know how to force it so i downt know how to reproduce it.. ;(

(mostly it apears when screen is of while call comes in.. answering is ok (via lockscreen) bit not the "end call --> phone app FC
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Where can I find Amon Ra? Google has turned up results for other phones :(

/Edit: Don't worry, got it :)
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
With Amon Ra you partition then in the same menu you convert to EXT3/4
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Which is better, 3 or 4?
[Desire Android Development] reef2009:
4 is the evolution of 3, so what do you think....

here's a simple theme i cooked in UOT for Test 3

- hybrid circle battery mod

-animated notification icons

-black notification bar

-Veggie burger fonts

-Fold animation
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
i was thinking on going s-off so i could try the cm7 version of this rom but i got a question first about my phone recovery image which i hope someone could help me with. Im using amonra recovery image because it was needed so i could root my phone cos i had the pvt4 phone. Anyways is it safe now to change to cwm recovery now that im rooted or does my phone need to stay on amonra? and if i can, should i change recovery image after or before i s-off my phone?
[Desire Android Development] Flashmaniac:
Yes it is, flash the CWM that comes with Alpharev.nl thats compatible with PVT4 Devices.

2.1 test3

Could someone who is using 2.1 test 3 provide a quick overall assessment compared to v.2 please? Came back from a sense 3.0 rom and tried to flash test 3. Got the usual error sd card. Tried full wipe and still no go. That's when I found that my earlier v.2 backup wouldn't reboot after restoring. :(

End result: had to repartition sd and start again. Decided best bet was to flash back to v.2. Dying to know what test 3 is like.
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
once you move to cm7 hboot .can i go back to stock hboot?
[Desire Android Development] vashishtuday:
Test 3 is pretty neat , better widget resizing

-3d tilt effect is gone

-more battery drain on standby - although for me i found everytime i reboot GMAPS is running in the background , force stopping that reduces battery drain

- test 3 is faster than test 2 for me

had faced a similar issue when upgrading to test 3 , i was on cwm3.0.2 , i found that switching to 2.5.0.7 solved it , i placed an update.zip in Sd card and flashed it before flashng test 3
[Desire Android Development] Ed Roid:
You can do it with gparted and without a card reader : you boot into recovery, plug your phone and you mount usb from the recovery. That's the best way in my opinion, you don't even need to reboot your pc if you use virtualbox.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks. Sounds promising. I'll wait till the stable version comes out. Had enough of experimenting for now. :)

[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
guys is there anything we can do to keep apps open longer? sometimes some apps close and then when u switch to it.it starts again from scratch?
[Desire Android Development] Deeco7:
Do you mean keep apps running in the background and stop it from restarting? If yes, I think that is dependent on the way the developer had created the app, correct me if I'm wrong.

Just saying.......
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
yes thats what i mean

i read somewhere on xda of someone who changed some setting and then his apps stay open longer.but now i cant find it.....think he changed dalvik vm or heap to 64mb or something.:rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] vashishtuday:
Hmm in CM7 there is an option to increase the number of apps in background
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
no nothing to do with dalvik to 64m

its adjusted in init.rc - which is not writeable beside modifying initramfs

write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj 0,1,2,4,7,15
write /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory 1
write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 3584,4096,8192,10240,11264,12288

there is an app in market for adjusting lowmemorykiller (at which at least memory free level an app gets killed, sorted to background, foreground etc apps) setting
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
thanks alot. i'l search the android market

[Desire Android Development] woti23:

its called "Autokiller" and adjusts the values from init.rc to your favorite ones on runtime

it has also presets for values to experiment
[Desire Android Development] aorifan:
test3? sounds good
[Desire Android Development] CdTDroiD:
Sorry... test3? :D
[Desire Android Development] CdTDroiD:
One question... Does anyone get this, when you have USB connected on file transfer mode does it ever revert back to charge only randomly? Happened in the middle of copying some stuff, real weird and never had it before.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
If anyone wants to have better battery life, first thing you should do is set brightness to < 40% (disable auto brightness). Worked wonders on any rom I tried.
[Desire Android Development] CdTDroiD:
Yea i pretty much always do that, never liked auto brightness lol..
[Desire Android Development] CdTDroiD:
I reckon if the camcorder lag gets fixed this would be the perfect ROM, been loving it today...

My outgoing calls sometimes end up with speaker on as default ie without me activating the speaker icon. So far it's just outgoing only. Anybody else had this issue? For now a normal reset fixes it but it's random at the moment...
