[Q] Can't get Cool Kingdom to work smooth

I would like to use Cool Kingdom, but what ever I do, include full wipe, I cant get Cools roms to work smooth. Everything is working slow and get hangups.
Have really good space all over and about 100 mb free memory
I really want this rom to work.
Any ideas???

hi there
which hboot do you have?
what class micros sd card do you have?
first you need to use gparted and delete all partitions on your card( backup whatever you need on the card)
then remove all partitions
create the fat32
create the ext4
format both in gparted
now put the card in your pc and copy the rom.zip, alignment.zip and weather pack
put card in your phone
boot into recovery
wipe factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats( i always do this but it shudnt matter)
then install the alignment.zip from the sd card
then the rom
then the weather pack
then reboot
and it should be ok
im using a class 10 microsd tho

Hi, thanks a lot.
I have ext3, must I have ext4?

Speed's are better on EXT4 and if the ROM actually recommends you to use EXT4 then you should have EXT4.
Be sure to always use what the specific ROM requires(radio, Partition etc.) to ensure a nice run of the ROM.
L.E.: Also make sure you have the latest Radio the ROM recommends. It is pretty important.
Hope this helps.

Radio won't update

I have made a ext4 and flashed the rom, but when I try to flash the Radio, nothing changes.
The Radio is maybe the key to my problem now, because the rom is sooo slow!!
HBOOT-0.93.0001
Radio-5.17.05.08
Before I used InsertCoin Nightly A2SD v51 at ext3, it worked smooth but I missed some i that ROM.

Still not working smooth!

Now I have correct ext, radio and partition is s-off and so on... but the rom is still not working smooth. Expecially when I open an app.
Getting frustrated...

you will never get a perfectly smooth rom with sense 3.0 due to the Desire's "hardware limitations".. Cool Sensation worked okay for me

Do you know the main differensieres between kingdom and sensation?

That would make sense, I have the virgin mobile us one, I couldn't see any specification of what version the rom was for. I really just want to find a rom that will work that has Data2sd so i can add a 1gb partition to my internal memeroy, any ideas?

Use link2sd instead with the stock rom and make sure to format the second partition to ext2 as the stock won't support ext4.
data2sd is great if you want a sluggish phone. Not a fan.

[Q] how to install CleanGB 1.05

Hi,
I'm thinking of taking the jump into CleanGB 1.05 MTD. Currently I have a rooted EI22 build. I'm going to update to the EI30 modem first but I'm unsure of the steps to get the CleanGB 1.05 build installed because of the change to the MTD filesystem. There is a how to video on the BML 1.03 page but I can't find anything on the MTD 1.05 build. From reading I think there are extra steps I need to take, or maybe the ROM does all the steps already.
Doea anyone have a link to a video, or instructions for loading the CleanGB 1.05 MTD ROM?
Thanks
JM

As long as you have ClockworkMod you are good to go. Most (I think all) MTD roms auto-convert for you. Then enjoy!

^^^^exactly... if you have cwm 5.0.2.7 you're good to go... if you're using acs recovery flash cwm first... all the roms do the work fo you...

Hey Noles, do you know what happens if you try to flash an MTD with CWM 3.XXX whatever? Does that also auto update to 5.0.2.7?

I would think so... but people have reported errors using acs recovery when trying to conver to mtd using that recovery... so 3.x.x.x may give you the same problems... never tried it though so I'm not 100% sure...
Edit- and after flashing an mtd rom and converting to mtd DO NOT flash another recovery... not even 5.0.2.7... the cwm that the mtd rom installs is the only recovery that works on mtd for our phones

MTD ROMs have their own MTD only version of CWM 5.0.2.7 that gets flashed with the conversion. Do not try to change it after converting..
It is also best to just update to CWM 5 before trying to convert. Just to be sure.

Hi,
just wanted to thank you guys for the help. I copied the CleanGB_MTD zip onto my SD card then used CWM to flash from card and presto... a few reboots later and now I'm running a new ROM. So far it seems to be going well.
Thanks again.

Sweet, found the perfect thread for my question
I'm running cleanGB Mtd 1.05, came from CM7. I have unsuccessfully tried to flash a few things, I have an epic ringtones zip I picked up somewhere along the way that gives you a ton more system ringtones, I also tried to flash some ei22 transparent mms themes....anyway, none worked. did the usual process, wiped cache, dalvik, and nada. Nothing there. At least they didn't cause any harm either.
Not sure why this is....my only guess was they were designed for bml ROMs? Thought i had a good understanding of bml/mtd in which case i didn't think it would really matter which partition I'm on for these flashable zips to work....any takers?

Pardon my ignorance KennyG, is this a necessary step I have to do manually every time I flash zips in MTD CWM? Something that never had to be done in CWM on BML... Please point me in the right direction if I am outta line here...or I know, I know...I should head right to search regarding MTD CWM and BML CWM...

Yes, and not a problem...I forget half the damn time and wonder why the changes to my theme are not showing up...LOL. You have to mount system anytime you want to flash something in MTD except ROMs and kernels...they seem to mount system for you. Restoring backups do not need system mounting either. MTD is still a new animal to us.

Does that mean that, once converted to mtd, a person can back up and restore freely?
I had been holding off on the mtd because i thought restoring a nandroid would be cumbersome. Something about changing all the ext4 to yaffs2 in order to make it work.

You can back up and restore your MTD ROM freely, even a way of using ROM Manager (ask me). BUT you cannot restore backups of BML ROMs without jumping through all those hoops that you hinted about.

Too slow....but more thorough to make up for it...LOL.
I am sure I have forgotten to unmount as well....need some of that Chinkocobra or whatever it's called.

I'm going to hijack my own thread to ask this. I do not have enough posts to put this in the developers fourm which is probably a better place.
How do the custom ROM's for the EPIC4g (any phone I guess) come about? The few ROM's I've looked at seem to be one man operations (i.e. toadlife for the CleanGB I use). Clearly the CM effort is a larger team effort. I'm very happy with the CleanGB ROM after a few days of use but I'm looking forward to an ICS based phone. I don't think I'm brave enough to jump onto a release candidate so I'm probably not switching to CM9 RC0 any time soon.
So is the normal path of develpment for the CM team the first release a new ROM (CM7 for gingerbread, CM9 for ICS,..) and then do the other custom ROM developers take this as a starting point to do their thing? Now that CM9 RC0 is out should I expect to see a bunch of custom RC0 ROMs released in the next few weeks?
Thanks for the help. Oh and if you see Toadlife ask him when CleanICS-MTD is coming ;-)

rom with more space

hi everyone, a friend of mine has a desire (stock rom) and always the problem that the internal capacity is full. now we are looming for a stable rom which basicly has sd card limit for apps and is not restricted to the intetnal one.
ive read quite a lot here and lokked at some roms and have some favorites, but i would like to get some input from actual desire users what rom they use and how the situation is with the app storage space.
so what rom do you use?
and hows the app storage situation with the rom?

you're going to get confusing answers from this question in my opinion, though you could try here. if you want stability at the moment stick with GB roms.
best bet would be to browse through a few in the development section, see what your friend wants, rather than what other people tell you is the BEST ROM EVER
grognaz said:

virtually all of them will have raised the limit on app storage using various scripts, which is one of the main reasons of custom roms on desire in the first place
each rom will have their own requirements, but generally need an sd-ext partition (use 4ext recovery or gparted) and/or a hboot partition table.
i've always found this guide useful in understanding root/memory stuff.

Supernova,by Droidzone, just do a 2gig ext4 partition and you will have 2gig of internal memory.
This Rom is base on stock 2.3 and is tweak for the better. Super smooth and your low memory days are over. Don' t take my word try it yourself

my HTC Desire runs actually BCM cyanogenmod9 with a data++ hboot
Anyway, you could get free space without changing rom and avoid using sd card ext (which might introduce some lags), by flashing the bravo Sense hboot (saving 70MB and keeping HTC Desire's stock rom).
That's my point, but it depends on your friend's rom preferences

thanks all for the feedback, actually i looked yesterday at some roms and supernova was one of the roms i considered since its aosp based, the other would be mildwild which is cm7 based, i guess i will just add my friend what suits her better and then go with that.
any bugs or other issues i should be aware with theae roms?
oh and i think the device has 5.11....radio i think. will that cause problems?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I just converted to mildwild 4.1.9 and can vouch for it being very impressive. I have setcpu app on it and now have 75% battery at the end of the day. I have a 16GB SD card and loads of storage so far, but I must say I am more disciplined with what I install now, as I used to gum it up with anything and everything! Mine is a desire GSM btw.

Oxygen rom is worth a look. AOSP rom that is closest to stock Gingerbread that you'll gonna get for desire. Just use the custom hboot for it found in http://alpharev.nl. (s-off required) and EXT partition on the sd card and it should give you one of the most stable rom with decent space for your apps.
check http://oxygen.im to get the rom.

iv been using mildwild oxygen the past week and got no complaints, i used runnymede aio as my "stock" rom and always went back to it lol but i honestly cant see myself going back this time
Sent from my HTC Desire

thnaks a lot for the feedback,
we tried mildwild oxygene but after one day and 5 self reboots its clear this is not stable at all.
now i have an other question, i flashed cm 7.2 with full wipe but the device always booted/rebooted into recovery... what can be the cause of that? mithg we have some partitioning problem here?
or something else thats wrong?
i partitioned the sd card with the cwm (1gb ext, 32mb swap) that gets installed with rom manager (5.0.2 or so i think).
if this is the problem, would be awesome to get a link to what we need to make cm 7.2 work. thanks.

lol mildwild oxygen not stable? probably 1 of the top 3 most stable roms iv used. using it now, not 1 single problem.

maybe you could mention something better instead of just calling cwm crap?

well maybe if u wasnt so cheeky i would of. cwm is known to make bad partitions so maybe try 4ext recovery or gparted to partition. i use 1gb ext4 and rest fat32 (no swap) with mildwild oxygen and iv had no problems so maybe try 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire

thanks for the information, i will check the partitions today with gparted and probably reformat. i created a 32m swap partition and i dont know if cwm created a ext3 or ext4 partition so that might be the problem...
i did not intend to be "cheeky" (and not sure if i understand it correctly, sometimes im getting a bit upset when people post something like: " it works for me." and do not think about adding some info what could be different:O

if ur gona use mildwild oxygen i dont think u will need a swap size when u partition sdcard, just do a 1gb ext4 or 1.5gb max and the rest fat32

Question about Sense 3.5 and Sense 4.0

So to start this off, I'm not a huge sense fan. At all. But to be honest, my phone runs far better on sense roms. And I've come to realize that for whatever reason, my evo absolutely refuses to let me flash a Sense 3.5 rom. I have my SD partitioned with 1gb ext4 0 swap. So, it isn't because I don't have my SD partitioned. I've tried wiping everything in my phone going through every option in the recovery menu. Even my entire SD card and starting fresh with just the rom. No matter what, I always get stuck in a boot loop. However - here's the good part - my evo will let me flash any other Sense rom. Even the PrimOG Sense 4.0 rom. No problems at all. I just don't get it. I know I should just suck it up and get over it and all, but I love the way Warm TwoPointThree looks, and TwoPointTwo gave me amazing battery life. It's just that froyo is really outdated now, and the aesthetics of Sense 3.5 alone are simply amazing. I really want to be able to run Warm TwoPointThree. I just can't because it's Sense 3.5 and my phone hates me. Is there anybody that can provide some kind of input? I mean, maybe there's something I've missed, I don't know. It just really bugs me. Thanks in advance.

EXT 4 only works with AOSP ROMs. For Sense, you want EXT3

Agreed. Do away with Ext. 4. Most roms that say have ext.4 work fine on ext. 3, sense or aosp. Also do away with Clockwork Mod Recovery if using that. I recomend Smelkus 4.3 recovery (Newest Amen-Ra version). Hope this helps you.
I feel more like I do now then I did then.
