[Q]Some curiosity about my desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello ppl,
I am a little curious about my desire and have some really silly questions...I would be really thankful if you answer some questions for me
1) My desire doesn't boot if memory card is changed or not inserted...Is it because my dalvik cache is on sd??I have a custom rom named
.AuraxTSense v7.6.1
Sense-FroYo 2.2 Official OTA
( FRF91 Fast l SYSRW l 720p| Stable | AP2SD+ | MULTILANGUAGE | Undervolt )
2) Can I connect my phone to my desktop via wifi??If yes,can I use it to share files??
3) What is Open Vpn??
4) While inserting a recipient for sending sms,if I select the "people icon" on top,then even e-mail addresses show up eventhough I have un-ticked google accounts in the settings where it is asked that "what all contacts to be displayed" I have only ticked phone contacts..
5) What is difference between AmonRa and Clockwork Recovery mod?? I have clockwork recovery mod installed by default in my phone...Which one is better of the two??
6) Is there anyway to backup and restore apps so that I don't have to install all the apps again after I install a new custom ROM???

sorry for double post but can anyone please do the favour of answering these simple questions??

1. you've installed all apps and cache on the SD card, so removing the SD card is stupid. Why should you? You can connect it via USB.
2. Yes. Yes, use the search to find results.
3. Don't know if you mean the same thing, it's a Windows, Linux program, Google is your friend.
4. Maybe because your contacts contain the mail addresses, too.
5. Both are good. When I took a look at AmonRa and compared it to ClockworkMod I just noticed that AmonRa has a few more features, like creating a partition and having a command prompt, however, it seemed outdated to me. i don't know the differences exactly, if you want to know it better, just use the search.
6. Yes, use the fu**ing search. Titanium Backup and MyBackup.

you have got almost all the answers in the above post but still
3)VPN- virtual private network,,,, i cant explain about it now ,,,google it
4)Yes it is the common issue ,,but it is solved in New sense ROM which is ported form htc desire HD,
in old sense roms if you still want the solution delete all the contact under google account i.e All e-mail ids. be care full dont delete your phone and sim contacts during the process
5) Both do almost same work but i chose clock recovery since it is supported by ROM manager
6)Use Mybackup-pro or titanium backup

thnx a lot for the answers people,it really helped me!!

Someone please guide me........please
Instead of bumping your thread have you tried looking at the thread of the chef released rom for your phone as you might realise that others have same issue with the rom or not. I did a quick search of forums and i managed to find the answers within seconds.
We cant support your rom as we dont know what you are using / version and questions regarding that rom need to be posted in the correct forum thread

Sorry M8...But i am really confused with several ROM's and Methods listed here...
I will follow your instructions in future....Sorry Again....
Different roms work differently and you really need to try one, then ask about it in the chefs rom thread and if you dont like try another. Swapping roms and trying to use the same instructions on each may not work so you are only confusing yourself.

Thanks Again.....
A2SD is indeed moving apps to the external memory. A lot of custom roms have it. It requires an EXT partition on your memorycard, an easy way to do that is to get rom manager from market

Thread moved to Q&A.
judging by your post, you have already rooted your phone
here's an example how to do it with Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM v1.0c, which has built in old A2SD. I think it should work
- backup apps and system data with Titanium Backup Donate
- copy sd card content to pc in disk drive mode (by doing this, you will also copy your backups)
- download rom, radio and put them in root folder of your sd card
- you need to have some sort of recovery (whether it's update.zip in root, or permanent recovery - it's your choice)
- say a little prayer
- enter hboot -> recovery
- wipe all alvailable options (it depends on your current settings): data, cache, davlik cache, ext
- flash radio, it will ask for you to reboot from recovery, do it, it will restart few times, don't interrupt process of instalation.
- flash rom
-after you finish it, don't reboot, instead partition sd card using standard options: swap 0, ext2 512, fat32 rest, sd: ext2 to ext3 (this will format and partition your sd card, you will loose it's content
- reboot your phone, it will last longer than usual
- copy your sd card content from pc back to sd
- install titanium backup donate and restore system data and apps, it should force apps you previously had installed to sd
- reboot phone to finish restore
- install quick system info and check if your A2SD storage is partialy filled with data
-you should have your current apps and settings with A2SD enabled
Finally did it today with ROM manager huh......
Thanking all for support...

Some Q's about Desire Setup & others

Hi Mates,
I have owned my Desire for 2 weeks and it is the first Android device i have had. I have done a lot of searching the www and XDA for answers to the following questions but not come across anything yet. Please could some of you help me out with answers to the following questions:
1) APN & MMS settings - Is there no automatic method of having these settings detected from the SIM card and operator? I find it hard to believe that with Android we have to manually do the settings!
2) I have saved on my SD card Root the file PB99IMG.zip but to prevent it from being read everytime i try to go in to Bootloader mode, i changed the name to PPB99IMG.zip so now it is ignored by the Bootloader. My question is, if i wanted to restore this ROM file can it be done without renaming it to the standard protocol (PB99IMG.zip) can i use the Recovery menu to restore .zip? If so does it give the exact same result that it would if run from Bootloader?
3) I have Titanium Back up Pro version installed. it allows almost any of the installed applications to be moved to the SD card. Are there any that should NOT be moved to SD card, such as Titanium itself, RomManager, Call blockers or Profile applications etc etc?
4) I have formatted my 16GB SD in to one Fat32 primary partion of 14GB and created another Primary partion ext4 of 2GB. I'm using a standard official ROM 2.29.405.5 which has been Rooted using UnRevoke 3.22 which I think installed CWM Recovery. So my question is does the standard ROM make use of the Ext4 partion or only Custom ROMS and is this the best / correct Ext to have used?
5) Apart from the first Boot loop that i got after my very first NAND back up using CWM (just needed to restore the back up that it made to recover it) I have not had any issues. But it could not format and partion my SD I had to do that manually using GParted with puppy Lynix. Also i do not have S-Off either. Should unrevoke 3.22 give me S-Off or is that another process such as AlphRev? Is there a process that only give S-Off without changing the Recovery mode?
6) I can not seem to send e-mail from Hotmail using the built in Sense mail application. anyone have a solution for that and also how to get all the mails from various accounts delivered to a single Inbox? I have 1 x Hotmail and 2 x Gmail accounts and whilst they are all selectable from the account picker they are not combined in the Inbox. I'm currently using TouchDown 2.0 for a fully syncronised Hotmail account due to the built in mail client not being syncronised with the Web accounts. Anyone give any advise about a better set up using Sense functions?
I think thats about it for now. Thanx for anyone who can answer any of the above, I love this phone and it is gona lead to trouble with me and the wife!
Happy new year to you all!!

1. Use APN Backup and Restore App. Desire Stock Rom for the region does automatically have APNs. But I've not seen them autodetect on rooted Roms.
2. You cant use rooted recovery to flash it. File name has to be same. Why should you have to keep it on the card. Keep it on a CD/Hard drive. Copy it to goldcard only when needed. When you need it, use the card on a PC to rename it. Also you can run the RUU as exe file from Windows
3. Widgets shouldnt be moved. System apps shouldnt.
4. Froyo Rom (Stock rooted) cant use it. Use a custom A2SD+ rom /Data2ext rom. Ext2 has maximum compatibilty. ext4 is the best but with limited support. ext3 is slower than both.
5. Alpharev gives S-Off. Unrevoked for desire doesnt. Rooting automatically puts the recovery on it. You need it for most basic purposes, including the process of S-Off
6. No idea.
Thanx for your fast reply DroidZone!!
I'm assuming that "APN Backup and Restore App" only works if you already have the APN and MMS settings installed?
Regarding the APN and MMS settings....so do you know which file the Regional settings are saved in? And would it be possibly in theory to collect this info from all the Regional ROMS and compile a single file that would allow Auto set up for any Region or country being visited?
My old Windows phone used to be the same with manual settings being required but in later WM6.5.5 relaeses this was all done automatically no mater i was in Nigeria, UK or China. It would be nice to have that flexability for Android.

True you already need the settings. But some custom Roms (I forgot which one. Check Leedroid's page on XDA) have a huge list of APNs which come built in. But the better solution is to ask your service provider for the APN settings intially and then backup with this app.It's not one file, so it cant just be copied and imported. This app is the best solution. As you learn about roms, you will learn how to incorporate this app into your rom so that it will autosinstall.
By the way how to send mms? I did not see mms option when creating messages from the sms app.

LeeDroid 3.0.x FAQ [UPDATE 23/04 - v3.0.3]

This is a summary of most useful and repeated info in main thread about ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3.
Updated until April 23.
I've been reading most of the "ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3" main thread , but have not installed it myself. Not in a beta testing mood. So decided to help instead by compiling what seems to be a FAQ, derived from that thread - so that the main thread needn't be polluted by always the same questions.
This is not meant to be complete. If an answer isn't clear enough, it's because more info is out there, either on Google, XDA or e.g. on http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/
All credit goes to Leedroid, and the experts answering on the main thread. I'm just compiling info - hopefully to slow down the rate of always-the-same posts in the main thread.
NOTE: do not use this thread to ask new questions. Only to debate the correctness of the FAQ.
* if you report a problem/success, make sure to mention your version of: HBOOT, recovery, S-OFF/ON, PVT (1-4) (if PVT4 also erasesize), did you wipe before flash, what was your previous ROM, etc, ...
* best way to install LeeDroid 3.x A2SD+ ROM:
- optionally backup all your apps with data (e.g. Titanium)
- optionally backup all your contacts, sms, apn's, etc (whatever is not saved in the cloud) - various apps out there.
- optionally nandroid backup (recommended for an easy way back if it fails)
- make sure to have HBOOT 0.93x
- flash new recommended radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08), reboot to previous rom. Check radio version in Setting / About Phone
- set up your SD card with a (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (512MB-2GB)
- from recovery: wipe all partitions (data, app, cache, dalvik) (except if coming from earlier Leedroid 3.x)
- flash the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip (unless you know exactly why you don't want to - e.g. if you want to keep EXT4).
- flash the LeeDroid ROM
- reboot, wait, could take 5-20 minutes
- enjoy.
* ROM is only partially multi-lingual (system language). (is based on a leaked test ROM directly from HTC, many languages incomplete. Can't be fixed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12968676&postcount=341
* IMPORTANT: so far, nobody with HBOOT 0.75 or 0.80 has reported success. It always hangs on boot. Solution: get HBOOT 0.93x.
Option 1) flash latest RUU (you will need to re-root also then). E.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13056537&postcount=1457
Option 2) Get it via AlphaRev S-OFF
* If you are S-OFF (alpharev.nl), make sure to have the default "stock" partition table sizes (Bravo Stock 250M/40M/147M).
* partitions of your SD card: (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (the EXT partition should be 512MB-2GB; for most users, 512MB-1GB is plenty enough). Experts highly recommend Gparted (use align to MiB option; this is a Linux application, but easily used from a boot CD/USB for Windows users). (You may want to research this issue if you're new to it, is out of scope for this FAQ). Esp. if you didn't use Gparted, it's highly recommended to use the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip -> will align the partition for faster read/writes.
* many people reporting ROM failing to boot/flash, fixed it by running the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip. This will align & format in your EXT partition.
* Which recoveries work? So far, no special comments. CWM 2.5.x or AmonRa 2.0.0/2.0.1 seems ok. For some, flashing with recovery CMW 3.0.0.5 leads to boot hang, but others say it works.
* Several programs force close (e.g. angry birds ) when run from SD. Fix: move app to phone (Settings / Application Manager). Note that on an A2SD+ ROM, having the "app on phone" really means that app is on the EXT of the SD, so that's exactly what you want! ("App on SD card" as used in the Settings / Application Manager is an inferior method of saving data space)
* Gingerbread - Handcent: no LED. Known problem. Works with Green LED, not with Blue LED (in Handcent settings). Some say this can also be worked around with GO SMS and/or Led me know - search main thread for more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13000559#post13000559
* Menu (button) to wake is problematic. This feature was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. Only works for a short time after the screen lock. Lee's working on it.
* for some apps, restoring from Titanium *INCLUDING app's data* will lead to app FC. if so, delete app's data via Settings/Applications
* Adobe Flash Player / iplayer (BBC UK) problems? Redownload Flash Player from Market. Some say "it worked but only until the next boot!"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13005263#post13005263
* Some people had problem until they wiped (write zeroes) the EXT partition from Partition Wizard, and reformatted (no need to touch the FAT32). Probably easier fixed with the EXT3 zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13003478#post13003478
* Some say "Swype needs to be switched on after every reboot"
* (sibere/droidzone's) Data2SD flashable zips DO NOT work on LeeDroid 3.
* EXT4 does not work with the leaked ROM (HTC). EXT4 support was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. However, many have said that EXT4 is readable but can still not be used as A2SD partition with 3.0.2..
3.0.3 should bring improved EXT4 support - waiting for user reports!
* Compass is broken (doesn't point in right direction). (one user report that it works with older Radio)
* Visually it's almost identical to Froyo Sense, because it's still the same Sense version (some say 1.9) from Desire stock Froyo (with a few feature (text copying?) as in Desire HD Sense). Supposedly the Gingerbread improvements are under the hood (better memory management, speed, battery). Nobody knows whether future real/leaked ROMs from HTC will include a later Sense version (as in Desire HD or S)
* Gingerbread contains new feature "fast boot" which resembles hibernate... if enabled, you can't go into recovery on boot with the usual key presses...
(1) Try Settings > Applications > Turn off Fast Boot. (2) Or use ROM manager's (included with LeeDroid 3.x) "reboot to recovery" feature. (3) Or use Restart and hit vol- the moment screen goes black.
* Data++ can be made to work... but requires editing ROM before flashing. See main thread post by anderl78*
* Do I need to wipe? Some users say it works without (when coming from Leedroid 2.4) - if you feel adventurous, try yourself, but if problem, go back and wipe. (and report). This depends on how "different" your current ROM is.
Specific to 3.0.3
- see changelog on 1st post in main thread.
- No wipe required from 3.0.2
- No locale modifications yet, we will need a new WWE build from HTC
- no change on the menu/trackpad to wake...
- Many report that upgrade/uninstall of app via Market leads to soft reset. (but that install of new apps works). ==> update: there's a specific patch for that in main thread OP.
- compass still pointing in the wrong direction
good overview,well done mate!
i seem to be one of the few lucky individuals who was able to flash 3.0.2 without any problems whatsoever
Nice piece of work, thanks for that!
Could you add one other point? You DONOT need to disable fastboot to get back to recovery. ROMANAGER is pre installed, just open it up and select boot to recovery.
really useful thread mate!
Not sure if this is just mine or not, but when downloading apps from Market, it says "starting download" throughout the whole time it is downloading it whereas it used to show the progress of it..
Well done mate. Worth mentioning that reinstall flash works only until reboot on s-on phones,as you need to be s-off to edit system folder.
Reboot to recovery, either use Rom manager or normal restart and as soon as all light go out just hold -vol button.

100% working, no fc's or problems flashing ROM (small problem with wake from menu/trackball commonly reported). Flashed newest radio before flashing ROM, came from LeeDroid 2.4
Read some people with old HBoot are going back to newest stock RUU to get 0.93, making life a little easier by starting from square one and then going through the procedure of root and s-off.
SD formatted Ext3 using GParted (it's a great tool)
Excellent thread, lots of waste of space questions in the main thread!

I second that, I came from ReflexTsense HD 1.8, as I only use EXT3 I didn’t have any of the problems I too can confirm the menu > track pad wake only works for a brief period but everything else is SOLID.
If your coming from a custom ROM I suggest you use MyBackUp Root to back up and restore all data (sms, contacts, settings, etc etc) and apps as I installed LeeDrOid 3.0.2 then downloaded a file manager, installed MyBackUp Root and I have been up and running with no FC’S. I do miss the features of a Desire HD ROM as it allows you to install some awesome Sense skins and just because of Sense 2.1 on HD ROMS, I am tempted to go back.
Thanks again for the FAQ dude.

Nice work!
Desire hardkey backlight
Thank you for the comprehensive FAQ.
1. Could you please advise if there's a mod or some other solution (prefereably non-battery-intensive) to turn off hardkey backlight on htc desire with Leedroid 3.x?
I tried "LED's hack" app but it pops up "superuser access granted" all the time + mentions that it can be battery-intensive. Maybe there's an alternative way, a patch of some sort, or a terminal command?
2. Lee says that LED backlight was tweaked. Still not good enough for many night users - too bright; is there a way to add led backlight custom level tweak functionality seen in CM?
3. Mainpage says "smartass\interactive governors used, selectable by SetCPU". Anybody happens to know what CPU governors \ values are used in screen off state? I assume smartass is on by default for screen on.

What about reading 2 post above yours? THAT is lazy mate.
Can I suggest that you ask people to format and partition their card using G-Parted via Linux/Ubnuntu boot CD - I think this is a better method than using the zip align and I'm guessing the reason that many people didn't have issues was that they originally partitioned their card via this method in the first place.
It worked for me when zip align didn't, I tried re-partitioning using AMON RA 2.0.1 and zip align and no joy.
Nice thread. Was certainly getting messy in the main thread.

Wanted to mention that instaling stock RUU from HTC site will give you 0.93, for those not wanting to S-Off. You'll have to re-root, but no big issue.

The other one was to select Restart and hit vol- the moment screen goes black...
Seems to be 100% working here, save for the few glitches mentioned like Menu wake-up etc. I am 0.93 and S-On...all good

I think you have misunderstood what I was saying..
Whilst a new app is currently downloading and you go to the "My Apps" list, it will constantly say "Starting download" as opposed to showing the progress of the download. Once the download has been completed the app does still install..
I've tried clearing data/cache but it doesn't change it.
Easy recovery - restart phone and hold volume down once screen goes off
Guys, for new issues is better to put it in leedroid main thread where more experts see it. This thread is to collect and summarize known info. And to feedback on FAQ.
I will update OP tonight or latest tomorrow eve
Ps: Thx for feedback and suggestions to improve

My apologies then. I had this issue with stock ROM, factory restore fixed it for me. Google stuck download market issue,there will be a solution. I don't think its ROM related.

does this rom have compatibility with htcsense.com ?
^^^^No.
From the latter post it looks like people who don't have any problems flashing this rom are on hboot 0.93 and amonra 2.0.0/2.0.1 or older cwm 2.5.xxxx recovery, regardless of s-on or s-off.

a problem after installing new rom

hello all, i used to run the stock rom froyo, now i installed Android Revolution HD 3.5 wich is froyo also, and i'm making all the settings and app install, but i'm trying to move apps using app2sd or the stock application manager, the system give me computing for all apps without finish the computing, and i cant move apps.
since i know that customized roms are better with moving apps to sd than stock and support better this feature, what is going here, did i missed anything?
i did a full wipe before i installed the rom, but nothing else.
i installed all my apps, and all went to sd, but i have to move some of them to the internal just as how i used to manage on the stock, but i cant, anything to help please?
did you missed out to "allow" the superuser for apps2sd apps ?
apptosd never asked for permission, not before and not now, i think it's something related to the sd card repartition or ext4, i'm not sure just speculations.
and one more issue i have now with the new rom, in the dialer i used to enter numbers and the smart feature filter the phone numbers by contact names and numbers, now it's just do the filter by contact by default, and in order to make the filter by phone numbers i have to long press the 0 first and then enter the number, and my phone usage is based on searching the call history or dialed numbers by phone number filter. is there a way to fix this also?
thanks for any help
any other suggestion and help please? i'm stuck with the app installation i cant install anything now before i move apps

you can try with any apk from the market to move the apps to sd-card.. if it it isn´t effective i recomend flash an other rom and test if persists...

[Q] ROM Revolution v3.0

Does anybody can tell me if in the new release 3.0 they fixed the issue with small font ??
I'm still on V2.0 but looking at the changelog I don't think Tamirda did anything with the fonts, you could try changing the fonts to the ICS roboto font. Made the texts all much nicer looking and easier to read. That's how it is to me anyway
What about the A2SD+ working? Despite having installed this, my internal storage still shows 120ish megs...someone in the development thread said it's still working but I dunno, since after installing maybe 5 apps I went from 14megs used to maybe 30megs. It doesn't show the external partition size in the settings.
I was going to quote you but pressed thanks instead. lol. Can't say much about the A2SD+ version coz I've only been using data++ but since everyone says its working then it must be working right? You should try out the data++ version. Its much better and you get more space of course.

A2SD + for me works good . A t the beginning i had 170Mb (more or less) free internal space . Now i have installed 40 apps and i am at 100Mb free . So you dont' have to care about that number . it works , i don't know how but it works .....
But if you have to install hundreds apps you should use Data++ version .
To see if you have done the right partiotion yuu can use TitaniumBackup , there you can see all memory partion ( ROM , Internal , Partition)

How did you do to change the fonts ? i need to make it bigger because it's smaller than stock size . i asked to Tamirda(Revolution's cook ) and he told me that for changing it i have to do a very difficoult procedure so i gave up !

Well like I said I only changed the type of font, not the size of it. But by changing the type of font it looked easier to read. You can use an app called Font Changer
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite
and use this Roboto Font.

Thanks for the tip about TitaniumBackup... I just flashed revolution back onto my desire and checked Titanium and it does indeed say SD Card (a2sd+) and the partition size... I guess I was just used to seeing it in the settings under SD and Storage like other roms and so when I didn't see it, I just assumed it wasn't working.
Thanks man
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hi, installed on thursday (first rom installed) and i have two questions if anyone can help
1.Available space: Internal storage sais 28.79MB and SD card (a2sd) sais 1.62GB
I assume there is plenty of space for apps. Right?
2.Notification sound. There is no way to use my own notifiaction sounds, only the ones loaded with the rom.Other option is HTC Hub. There is no option to add my own as i did for the ringtone. I am missing something? Tried to copy my own on t=o the same dir with the rom's notifiaction sounds but access was denied.
So far battery seems to last longer.
EDIT: add third question=> Google calendar is missing and i can not add it.When i select calendars only "PC Sync" appears in the list. This is quite an issue for me.
Getting worse...
I did a fresh installation. Flashed radio, hboot, creted ext4 partitions on sd card, full wipe and installed RevolutioN.xMas.Edition.v3.0.Data++-signed
Now, each time i select a day in the calendar (HTC calendar) i get an error and the white screen with the green HTC logo.Text error:
"Sorry!
The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After that i see the white screen with the green HTC logo and widgets are reloading.....
This is really frustrating and i can not post on the rom's thread since these are my first posts.
No one came up with this???
Not a good start for 2012
--------------------------------
Device: HTC Desire PVT4 S-OFF
ROM: RevolutioN v3.0 Data++
Radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
HBOOT: Cm7r2
Recovery: 4Ext v.2.2.7 RC6
Which hboot did you flash?
AlphaRev CM7 r2
HBOOT: 6.93.1002
------------------
After adding and removing my gmail calendar which lead each time to the same result,fail and white screen, i removed the htc sense clock and added fancy widget. Then i noticed that i could select any day in the calendar (HTC calendar) without getting an error and the white screen with the green HTC logo.This did not solve the issue but it is a workaround.I prefer using the calendar than using the sense clock widget.
I noti ced that the option to clear cache for HTC Sense is grayed out but i don't know if it is normal (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> HTC Sense -> Clear cache)
Regarding the Notifications @ RevolutioN v3.0
I noticed on a second Desire with RevolutioN v3.0 (A2SD+ version) that it was not possible to use my own custom notification sounds via the settings menu.
However, after installing zedge and i successfully assigned one sound as notification from zedge.
After that i copied all my sounds into the zedge notifications directory (/sdcard/zedge/notifications).
I guess zedge added/mounted this directory with the systems notification directory and this dir was not read-only like the systems default notifications directory (/system/media/audio/notifications/)
(still can not post to the dev section RevolutioN thread ...noob alert )

Hi there,
I'm new on this and I still don't understand too much. Can you please help me?
I rooted my phone with revolution, that was the only one working for me. I have a HTC Desire Bravo. I have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and some questions...
1. How can I flash the newest radio? I have tried to install from a zip archive and I get an error message each time.
2. How can I change the Hboot from 6.93.1002 to CM7 R2? I need it to install the Data++ of Revolution Rom. Is it the same way? I get the zip file and run it from the phone?
3. I have already tried to install once this rom and the available intern memory is somewhere around 11Mb. What am I doing wrong?
4. How can I do an ext2-ext3 and ext3-ext4 from revolution? On another HTC Desire bravo I did that with unrevoked but i'm stuck now on revolution, it seems impossible...
Thanks in advance for your answers. I'm trying to learn and I really appreciate any guidance.
Hi.
I am running RevolutioN V3.0, the A2SD+ version.
I really like the performance of this ROM, but there is just one thing that is bothering me.
The problem I have is actually a known problem in the standard HTC Sense. This is related to how phone numbers for contacts in Iceland are handled. The country code for Iceland is +354 and all phone numbers have 7 digits.
But the problem is that if I have a contact saved with a phone number that includes the country code (+354 1234567) the contact is not recognized when I receive a call from him, since the received phone number is without the country code.
On the other hand if I have the contact saved without country code in the phone number (only 1234567) the phone doesn't recognize the contact when he sends me SMS messages, because the country code is always included in SMS messages.
So because of this bug I need to have all contacts stored with two copies of the phone numbers, one with country code and one without country code.
I don't know if this problem only occurs with Icelandic phone numbers or if this also happens with some other country codes, but it would be very good if this is something that could be fixed. I don't know if the problem is in the ROM itself or the kernel.

I did these two steps with FastbootCommanderV.1.51 by mumilover (found it here on xda).Before using this tool, you have to s-off your device first.

3. I am also new at this but i have to assume that the problem is that you tried to install Data++ version with stock hboot. You have to read carefully the requirements on the rom page
4.I don't quite understand what you mean by "ext2-ext3" and "ext3-ext4">If you want to know how to create the ext3 or ext4 partitions on the sd card, i did them quite easily with 4EXT Recovery which also takes care of the allignement of the partition
7 digit caller ID fixed

Hi again.
I just wanted to let you know that I finally found a fix for that caller ID problem in HTC Sense.
The fix is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160343
I have tried it and it worked for me, so now I have this finally working in Sense.
Best regards,
Siggi.
