Hello mans, as you can see from my messages i'm new, i'm here just for the Custom roms and program-developing help.
well yesterday I decided to change the desire OS and choosing from the semi-official 2.3 to a custom rom i found this that seems stable as they say and it got the new sense interface that i like because I'm not searching for a powersaver/minimal android but a good-first looking.
so I easily rooted my phone and changed the bootloader with alpharew.
after 2 tryes i managed to get the CM7 R2 hboot.
after that it was a challenge...first of I made a back up, installed the rom and the fixes. I got a boot loop. after some panic (coz backup wasn't doing anything) i started to search everywhere for infos when finally I found a comment on a blog that sayd that the sd must be partitioned with the ext4 of at least 1gb!
after that it was pretty simple i installed the packet for synk the extension, the rom and it worked without boot fix.
i fixed the weather app with the package and now seems done.
BUt ...ther's everytime a but...
if i go to power efficiency when I lock and unlock the phone it looses my location weather dataand i need to manually synk them, but after another schreen lock they go away another time.
and when i pull down the upper bar it start to come down nearly 0.8 seconds from when i touch it.
uh, a strange thing is that today, when I was going to take a walk with my dog I wanted to try the srs or other stuff from the new music app and my battery was "yellow" i'm shure it was yellow, no red or black with red square and slash, after 50 seconds of audio reproduction my phone shut down and it wasn't restarting as it have reached the minumum cell voltage.
this was pretty scary!
and why if I make a complete reboot it takes minutes for turn on? a lot of time stays on jocker face and more on the htc splashschreen.
but if i turn off normally it restarts as fast as a pc in suspension mode.
is there some fix that i must install ? sorry but i cannot post in dev and that thread is a labyrinth! choosing a random page i found something like an mms bugfix but nothing explayns...
please can someone help this noob (me) finding what i'm searching for?
tank you!
Hmm... A lot here to answer, but here goes...
1) Most ROM's here use a2sd which requires a partitioned sd card to move apps to your sd card instead of keeping them on the phones memory. Usually a 1gb ext3 or ext4 partition is ok, with the rest of your sd card fat32. Use GParted to do this as it's the easiest method I've found (you can get it here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php).
2) Always always always read the first comment in a thread as it'll tell you information you'll need to flash a ROM. The first comment in the ROM you have chosen says "EXT4 Partition For A2SD". This would have told you you needed an ext4 partition.
3)By turning on power efficiency you are turning off auto sync. Which means you will have to manually sync things like weather all the time when you wanna use it. If you want it to sync automatically turn off power efficiency.
4) The Cool3D 3.0 Sense ROM is still in it's early stages. There are still some lags that haven't been fixed. The notification bar is one of them. The best way to get the ROM moving faster is to update the kernel. There's a few good kernels around which you can try (snq / bananacakes etc), and you can find them in the development section. Experiment and find one that works well for you.
5) If the battery is yellow it means it's getting low. HTC Sense uses a lot of power to make it look pretty. Battery life is not great. Best thing to do is always start the day on a full charge, and try a battery saving app such as "Juice Defender" from the market. If you want your battery to last longer maybe try using an aosp ROM instead of a Sense ROM.
6) A complete re-boot means the phone has a lot to do before it can re-start. A lot of data has to be read by the phone from a completely switched off state to fully awake. This takes time. HTC Sense has a lot going on to make it look pretty, and it takes time to load all of this. A hot restart does not completely shut everything down so it doesn't take so long. It basically shuts down and restarts all of the running applications without completely shutting down the system.
There's no quick fixes for all of these things. What you've got to remember is that the good old Desire was never designed to run a ROM with this much going on, so it's working hard to do everything.
Cool3D AceS is only in it's second version. Give it some time and it will get faster and smoother with the next versions.
If it is really too slow for you I suggest trying InsertCoin 1.1.4 which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
It's not quite as pretty, but is still HTC Sense and very fast.
Hope this helps. If it does, click "Thanks".

When you make a complete reboot, the phone completely shuts down and boots up again, which means it will have to go through all the boot process and system checks which will take a while. However, when you turn off normally (pressing power off), it will not shut down completely but instead hibernates (HTC Fast Boot Feature). So when you switch it on again it just restores your previous state which makes it faster in booting up (7 seconds boot up according to HTC)
tank you for the answer, of course i clicked thank you!
yes i notice that the fast boot is incredible! but I think that sometimes is good to reboot.. is it true?
well the battery life is good, I charged it up yesterday, for the night shut off and till this early morning it's in the run, half time with wi fi, a bit of music, lot of messaging, 20min of hotspot and i got pretty good state, now i'm installing some program and it got -2 levels to full . the battery drain seems more or less the same as before, it doesn't lag it's just perfect it have just that bar-glitch and the autoscroll to right when moving and keep pressed the touch but it's not annoying.
2) oh I found it on the link for alignment...
4) i red somewere taht the new kernel makes the phone lag.. so I'm not shure about what to do and how I should install them? what can chenge for the outher OS? (rom)
If a fix will come out for this rom where i can know when/where it is uploaded? will it be posted on the first post of the rom?
btw i'm searching for a rom that gives me sense 3.0, i saw insert coin, seems something really professional as the japanese iOS semi-replica (that is hilarious)
I'm searching for something that gives to the phone a tech, advanced and over completed look so i'm gonna keep this until it will reveal me a big bug. and if it's good enought a donation can be really good for developers.
btw if you know some bugfix that is not listened and it's needed tell me plz
tank you again!
I have some problem with facebook app it doesn't work, I can't even login via facebook app and friendstream. So please help me.

k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.
after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.
i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.
can anyone help, how can i restore what i had previously, do i have to do a full wipe.

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

autokiller
People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.

I've searched the ROM thread and had no luck finding what to do. I have Hardware 004 and flashed the 1.77 PRI that was in the ROM thread. Without flashing that, it got stuck on the initial boot screen. I noticed the PRI zip said 003 at the end, so that might be a problem. I factory reset/data wiped before flashing, and after having no luck getting past the Vanilla android "ANDROID" splash screen. I've cache wiped, data wiped, and reflashed a few times. No luck. I really want Sense 3.0, anyone got any ideas? I can't post on the rom thread because I have fewer than 10 posts.
No one has any idea's on how to fix this? I don't have 10 posts yet, so XDA doesn't allow me to post in the developers forum, only Q&A. And they make me wait 5 minutes between every post.
Uhm, how long are you letting it sit? I have hardware 0004, and I already had the original 1.77 PRI flashed, and didn't make the partition, and it flashed fine for me. It just hung on the splash screen for like an extra 2 minutes than normal.
I let it sit for over an hour the first time, then flashed cm7 to go somewhere. I tried several other times wating at least 20 minutes each. When I had alot of time on my hands I let the phone sit for around 3 hours, still no success.

Well try it again, clean install, wipe factory/data, cache and dalvik, and let me know. What recovery are you using?
I don't know what I did, but it boots all the way to the lock screen, and stays at the lock screen, all I can do is drag the ring sometimes.... Well, I didn't expect it not booting to be my only problem with a Sense 3.0 rom.
Edit:
We posted at the same time, basically I kept wiping data and dalvik and more clean installs and eventually it lived.
Spoke to soon...
The phone won't get past the lockscreen, it won't even get to the lockscreen sometimes. It seems to work 9/10 times, then I'm stuck waiting for a glitchy ring to move. Anyone have anything on how I would get this to work? Or at least give me something to reply to so I can start posting on the dev thread.

How long are you waiting? It says in the thread, that you may have to wait an extra minute at the lockscreen for it to pop up, due to a driver issue that can't be fixed. When I use, I have to wait an extra one to two minutes before it pops up, then behaves normally.

If you can get to the lock screen and things show up there.....sit the phone down and it give it literally at least 5-10mins.....the problem with our Evos is that theres not enough ram to load up these huge sense files immediately. If you give it some time you should be able to pull the ring up....it will be unstable until it settles after a few mins....you will get the loading screen for a few mins also. If it doesnt work after that then dont rewipe the rom but wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. did you fix permissions in the recovery after install of the rom?

Odd, the Sensation only has an extra 200megs physically. My evo always has an extra 100 megs to spare. I hope the lockscreen issue can be sorted out though some kind of cache maybe. I flashed netarchy and it runs smooth. But now "HTC Sense" has started fc'ing. Its a work in progress and I hope they get a good stable and fast version out soon.

Netarchy worked great on A1 except for the camera issue on on B1/2 it causes a lot of force closing etc. The 3.0 sense is bigger but its more the phone internal RAM....Im sure the single core processor doesnt help. Its only a matter of time on better kernels

Which one did you flash? B1 .... 1.1 should drop tonight... also is your sd card partitioned?
Still slower than the rest of you seem to say
I have 10 posts, so I'm migrating to the ROM thread. But once the phone boots up, I've left it for well over 10 minutes, well over 20. And it still locks up and gives a black screen with a notification bar or the background or an unresponsive clock and ring. If I'm lucky, once a day it'll load up and I can use my phone for a while and enjoy all the goodies of sense 3.0.

maybe you have a bad download,,,,?? It's not to be more then 10 min.. So i would suggest to download again ..
Really hoping someone can help me. I have had my Defy for a few months and have always been on a custom SBF but continue to experience problems with the Defy working amazingly for hours and then sometimes I turn the screen on and the Defy is working in some kind of super slow mode and opening anything takes ages, everything does eventually open so it’s not crashed but just going super slow!
I am currently on SBF 3.4.2-177 Nordic but have had the same problem on different SBF’s so either my phone has a hardware issue or its some software I have on my phone, I am currently on Beta 6 of CM7 and have had this issue on other betas of CM7 but have never heard of anyone else with this issue. The phone will sometimes go a whole day without the issue also which is weird. It is not overclocked either. When it goes into what I now call superslow mode I have checked to see what the processor and memory usage are and both are around 60% used not being topped out at all. I have even used StabiltyTest to test the memory and CPU when the problem is occurring and both run through fine.
I really would love to know if anyone else had a similar problem or if they know what is causing it or how I can find out what is causing it without removing every bit of software I use. The only piece of software I use regularly that runs in the background is Juicedefender so I am going to remove this now and see what happens over a few days.
Any help would be amazing
Many Thanks
Bob
Did you install the latest patch for the auto-brightness issue? or Did you turn off the auto-brightness?
Thanks for the fast reply I have already installed the latest patch for auto-brightness issue but still have the problem
Was the phone slow in the stock ROM? I mean that's really wired that the problem appears on each SBF
Hi mys_721x, I only had the stock ROM for a matter of days when I first had the phone so really cant remember but I am thinking I may have to go back to see if I do still have problems if no one else can suggest anything else. Cheers
I have this same problem. Only fix seems to be a reboot whenever it happens

Same here, my phone suddenly becomes sluggish and unusable. Yesterday it was stuck on 100% cpu usage, I entered the task manager to see what was wrong and there wasn't any application that was using the cpu.
Only solution is to reboot everyday.
Glad to see I am not the only one, yea a reboot does the job sometimes it can be twice a day sometimes I don't see it for a few days, do you guys have juice defender installed by any chance as thats the only real program which stays running in my background which is extra to the roms I have used, cheers for your input, lets hope we can figure out whats going on.

I had it to in the past. When i tried to lock the phone it took long time and it wouldn't unlock for a wile 1-2min what is verry long if your waiting and afterwards scrolling was lame.
Don't know what I did, but it's gone now. Now only when out of memory(dhuu!)
I think I wiped it cleen, went to a 2.2 and didn't have it again, now on CM.
Do you see in spare parts any apps using mutch cpu?
Weirdest thing that happens to me..
Every hour/day the phone loads up some applications prepared to start when I turn on the phone..
That means that if I close say, tigertext or Skype, the following day, without turning off the phone, hey are running again.. wtf?
EDIT: A way of checking what's using the CPU, if you're on Froyo, is check the application manager to check for services CPU usage
Yea I have no idea what is causing it but little to no cpu usage when it happens, when I lock on cm7 the tv effect for screen off is super slow motion its really strange, did a clean wipe yesterday and did its first slow down today just before post, cheers

Update: I've opened a issue for this on Github. You can go there to post new information / symptoms so that hopefully it can be fixed: https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/issues/204
Hi dasbin,
Since uninstalling Juicedefender from my phone I have not had this issue once, it has now been 3 days which is probably a record for me so I would say that it was causing me the issue, do you have juicedefender installed? I am now using green power it is much better so far.

I recently installed the new RunnyRom 6.0 ROM, so it is my current ROM. With the previous version, at random intervals, my phone would either freeze after doing some simple task such as turning on the mobile network or just at random. At other times, the phone would not respond after the screen goes blank.
I am at my wits end and might end up throwing my phone at a wall. I've tried increasing the minimum CPU speed to no avail and other remedies from googling.
Must I buy a new phone? (my warranty is up btw, so I can't send it away back to HTC or the store I bought it from)
Before you say you are at your wits end, have you even tried flashing an entirely different rom to see if the issue presents itself again?
via xda app
Or a faster sd-card !
do you have ext on your sdcard and some kind of app2ext script?
Something like this?
It's a combination of sd card, sd-ext scripts running on it and bad reception. For me, the only ROM that doesn't have this problem is RSK v6.

I will try to switch back to CM7/Oxygen and see if the problems persist with the same frequency.
Go back to CM7 than Oxygen to test. Oxygen uses a script if an ext partition is detected. You wanna try and see if your phone will work well without any ext partition and CM7 doesn't support it out of the box.
Or if you can't help not having ext partition because of your apps, how about you format your sd card, repartition and start fresh.
via xda app
So as I did a full wipe and reinstalled CM7, lo and behold, the phone freezes on me in the 4ext recovery screen. Wiped again and tried to reinstall RunnyRom, same thing.
Seems like hardware issue if you get freezes even on recovery. You can flash a stock rom as a last verification but since you don't have warranty you might as well consider it as a reason to get a new phone.
There's the HTC One series or if you can still wait a bit longer, Galaxy S III is about to make a debut this May.

I think I will need to settle for something a bit cheaper.
However, I have noticed that if my mobile network is on, most times it will freeze my phone if I use any app that uses internet such as Whatsapp, facebook or Google+. Not sure if that might be relevant. (I am on a CM7 ROM and it still freezes so it is most definitely a hardware problem I would agree with).
I had a similar problem with my HTC Desire. I was on the road a lot and noticed that when I came near certain areas, my phone froze. I think it was because of a bad radio or something like this.
Does it happen when you are in airplane mode?
I flashed the new CM9 and the problem stopped.
Alternatively, it didn't happen with the sandvold-ICS.
Have you tried flashing with a new SD-Card?

Never tried it with airplane mode on. There's less freezing with MildWild 4.4 but occasionally it will freeze.
I had this issue once with ics and drewis kernel, on tiamat no problems at all
From using Mildwild 4.4 I've realized that when my phone rings, the ringtone will not play and if I answer it as soon as the call ends the screen will not wake up. If I ignore the call and open any application, the phone will freeze. In both cases I will need to remove the battery.

Tried that too. No major change.
same exact problem, i'm running runnymede AIO, phone freezes often, especially when i'm at home where signal is not good.
i've got the feeling is mainly related to whatsapp, but it's just a feeling.
phone usually freezes when i wake it up from standby, the lockscreen ring does not respond.
it never freezes when in airplane mode.
i think i'll try a different phone part, then a different rom, it's a pity since this one performs really well for my needs.
sorry for my english, if i fix this i'll post here, cheers.

i've got the feeling is mainly related to whatsapp, but it's just a feeling.
phone usually freezes when i wake it up from standby, the lockscreen ring does not respond.
it never freezes when in airplane mode.
i think i'll try a different phone part, then a different rom, it's a pity since this one performs really well for my needs.
sorry for my english, if i fix this i'll post here, cheers.

I think my problem was mainly the sd card as it deleted all of my photos and then randomly stopped reading in my phone.
I switched sd cards and ROMs and so far no freezes.

well, might be, but i'd find strange, mine is a brand new samsung class 6.
but i'll give it a try when i can.
Happy New Year everyone!
I'm a complete noob to root/flashing my samsung captivate glide so please forgive me if these questions seems stupid. I searched on google and in this forum but can't seem to find answers.
I just recently rooted + flash to CM10.1 (android 4.2.1 beta) on my phone and I have been playing around with the software for the past 2 days. I'm pretty happy with it so far; patiently waiting for some fixes like Bluetooth and keyboard back light (like everyone else). I would also like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone involved in these kinds of projects. You guys fill the need left in the gap between the manufacturers and the service providers that decide that our phones are obsolete and shouldn't get updates even if the phone can actually benefit from said update.
Today I just tried something: I pushed the power button and on the screen there was a menu to reboot or shutdown: I selected reboot, and then had other choices on screen, and I selected "download" thinking it would go into update mode?... so the device rebooted into download mode and I see the green android logo with the words "Downloading..." in white and "Do not turn off target!!" in green. It's been like that for 30 minutes now and I was just wondering if it truly is downloading something and/or if I can just pull the battery out right now to turn the phone back on normally. If it really is downloading, I find it funny that it's taking so long since I have a 20 MB connection speed...
The reason I went into download mode is because I saw the options inside android 4.2.1 to update CM10.1 automatically (I chose "nightlies" and "check twice a day"...) and I have yet to see any updates being done. Will there be a pop-up of some kind if there are any nightlies available for download? Will I have to go into download mode to apply the updates? Do they auto-download when the phone is on and they update at next reboot? Please explain the update process...
Also. I don't know if this is a problem or not, but I noticed in JB that my battery seems to drain faster than with GB installed... nothing drastic, but noticeable. For example, if I turn everything off except cell antenna overnight, 10 hours later I have 10% less battery. It used to be around 5% less battery. Can anyone confirm that JB uses more battery than other android versions?
Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions, I appreciate it and hopefully it will answer other noob questions in the future.
Download mode is used for downloading an operating system via Odin and USB connection. Rather curious how you would not have used that to get to where you are now, unless you obtained your phone with a CWM recovery already on it?
As for battery life, in my time lurking here, I haven't seen many posts about it, but can weigh in with my thoughts. I noticed a significant power drain when I had enabled Google Now. Once I had turned it off, my battery life improved drastically. Still does seem to drain a bit more than stock, but I suspect that is due to optimizations that need to happen for our devices and/or bugs in cm10 itself, as I have seen some things suggesting issues with the screen auto brightness in someone's ROM notes...
Hope this helps and welcome to the world of Android modding!

Thanks for your quick reply,
Yes I used the Download mode with odin to root my device, but I wasn't sure why it was written "Downloading...." like it was actually downloading something (like a CM10.1 update or something). Anyway, thanks for confirming that this is the same download mode as for odin.
Do you know how the CM10.1 updates work? will it post a message on the phone when an update is available?
I am already using auto-brightness so that's not the issue and all other antennas are off, except for cellphone antenna to receive calls.
anyway, it's not a big problem for now, there are still tweaks and updates to come so we will see how battery use develops in the coming weeks/months.
Thanks for your answers.

Purely guessing, but seeing as how the OTA updates work from carriers, you get notified in the notification bar and downloads the ROM while the phone is still up and running, I would assume CM would work the same way. But, I don't think it's actually enabled as of yet, since the ROM is still in development. Feel free to anyone to correct me on this, but I feel I am more or less correct on this.

It's waiting for Odin to connect to it via USB. Just hold the power button until it shuts off.

That only works for official CM releases. You'll have to check the thread periodically and manually update by downloading the zip and flashing it with CWM.

JB battery has been better for me than the official ICS was. There's so many variables there though, you're probably doing something different or have some app installed that you didn't before.
