Question about Sense 3.5 and Sense 4.0 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 It's just that froyo is really outdated now, and the aesthetics of Sense 3.5 alone are simply amazing.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.

Try repartitioning to ext 3. Sense doesn't play well with ext 4

I'm using MikG 3.11 (which is a sense rom) and an ext4 partition and my phone has never run better.

So am I. I just prefer sense 3.5. but now I'm just waiting patiently for Jelly Bean :]

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.

I have the newest version of smelkus already. Thanks for all your help

I just got back from a vacation, and I haven't had a chance to try ext3 until now, and it worked! thank you all so much.

[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.

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?

[Q] Just turned on Evo since july 11

I just got my og Evo 4g (on the 3d now) back on for my wife since she dropped hers and is in 2 pieces lol. I havent been on the 4g forum in a long long time and need some help from you guys.
I have found out the im on android 2.2 with baseband version 2.15.00.11.19
Was running Eternal Prophecy v6.1 and on 2.6.32.27 netarchy kernel. I know im pretty far behind and want to know how i would go about getting the phone up to date and run a rom that is pretty stable since its for my wife. She has been bashing me ever since ive found out about rooting and flashing roms, so i want to hook her up with a stable rom with all bloatware removed, and show her that "aftermarket" roms are way better than the one that came with the phone. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Oooohhhhh....1 thing, i dont have the SD card anymore and most likely will be putting her SD card in, would that be ok?
Yes that should be okay. Might need to partition the card via recovery. Roms I have been using cm7 for aosp and mikG for sense. They are both good. Kernels that are out for gingerbread are anthrax, lionfish, and a couple of others. If you want to go straight stock give tommytomatoes classic rom a go. He has tweaked that rom pretty good. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply....I'm still kinda noob on partitioning lol, what do you mean exactly by partitioning via recovery? Is that the whole ext4 thing?
If you are running the latest version of Clockwork mod recovery, you have the option to partition the SD card directly from the recovery. Hope that help man.

What do I do after I partition the SD card?
Partition your card 32/1024, once you do that your SD card should be complete. Partitioning your card will delete everything in your card so be cautious and backup your memory onto a computer

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

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

[Q] Still Unable to Partition sd card using 4EXT in rooted S-OFF STOCK ROM?

coming to the point:-
*my desire is rooted,s-off and have official stock rom gingerbread 2.3.3, software no. 3.14.
.i used 4EXT Method to partition 1GB from 16gb mmc and the process went pretty good inside 4EXT Recovery. (i tried both 3ext,4ext type ).
when phone rebooted,there is no extra space for ext.partition in freespace app,system app and still getting low space error.?
* m i missing something?
p.s i didnt install any a2sd script using emulator because i dont have it :/
i dont have pc so i cant use gparted method.
help me using 4ext method.
Lol u can't just make the partition and suddenly have your apps move to the ext. You need a script.
First of all I would recommend flashing a custom ROM. Try mildwilds oxygen ROM since its very fast, stable, and comes preinstalled with a2sd.
All you need to do at this point since you've already done everything like partitioning and what not, is flash the ROM.
Download it, put it onto your SD, reboot into 4ext and go into the wipe menu. Then format all partitions except SD card. Finally choose install zip from SD card, navigate to the ROM u downloaded and flash it.
Then all the apps u install will be automatically installed onto the ext partition u made on the SD card.
Here's the download link BTW:

Nope, he's suggesting it and it's a pretty good GB ROM. If you don't want to use oxygen maybe go for one of the CM7 versions, I quite like the JG version though for sense (which I guess you're used to) RSK team had a fantastic gb rom.

I'm not promoting it... In fact I've never even used it. I was just recommending it to you since from what I've heard, its one of the most stable and bug free ROMs for the desire. As a bonus it comes with a2sd preinstalled, so your apps will be installed to the ext partition out of the box.
The ROM is GB, it just has a jelly bean like ui. If you want something like the stock sense ROM, try using the one dvsk69 suggested above.

I had exactly same problem with using deo roms. After using this method i can install any custom ROM and 4ext is working for 90%.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37383522#post37383522
Due the fact some custom ROMs have preinstalled 2SD different way, Im using scripts attached below the instructions. If script isnt working ( 1%) of all cases, Im using apps showing storage information - if the system information are showing still low memory it doesnt mean its not working. Its needed to use only external app to see reality.( lot of them is on google play).
I hope it will help, cos Im satisfied with it for 100% on all of my adroids .

Which rom suits my requirements?

Hello,
hoping for some input guys- I have got here an old Desire which runs 4.1 It is extremly slow and as soon as i install a game it shows me that it runs low on memory
i want to give the phone to my daughter but i need a properly working rom. It should be fast and reliable. No extras needed and i should be able to install a few games without running into trouble.
any recommendatios?
TIA
Install any of the Mildwild's ROMs. They are light stable and fast.
If you need Sense, then install the Cool Droid V3.
Ics and jb ROMs are not yet fast enough.

A2SD is integrated in the ROM. Since you already have an ext4 partition, it should get activated automatically. No action required from you.

Please allow me to borrow this thread a little bit instead of starting a new one.
I am also interested in getting a custom ROM, but I just can't live without the default Sense UI. I think I read somewhere that Lee Droid is a popular ROM that has the HTC Sense UI. But I have searched for it using Google and they don't seem to have a dedicated website.
I think there is a member here at XDA with the name LeeDroid. Is that the guy behind this ROM?
Is Lee Droid being actively developed at the moment?
How do I download and flash Lee Droid, or any other ROM? I mean is ROM Manager a must? Or can I use the option "install from zip" in CWM?
So except for Lee Droid, and Cool Droid, what other ROMs are using Sense UI? I just need the basic version, nothing extra flashy and HD, etc. I installed Cyanogen 7 once but didn't like the interface so I removed it.

I see that LeeDroid requires ext3 partition for Data++. I'm not sure what Data++ does but I know it has something to do with memory, and I love memory, and this phone (Desire) is known for constantly running out of memory. So I'm interested in that feature.
I used the Link2SD app for some time (on root, S-OFF and stock ROM with Android 2.29) and it worked pretty well until the Netflix app broke it down for some reason. It just wouldn't play nicely with Link2SD, the Netflix app was the only app that did not work. I ended up in boot loop and having to reflash everything with RUU. Luckily I saved my data.
Which one of those ROMs listed above is best for off-loading the internal phone memory and has minimal change to the UI? Do they all have A2SD integrated? I think this part is essential for this phone to work properly. I can't believe they put in so small memory in it. If I knew I wouldn't have bought it. I was not informed about it, I was just swept in all the hype about it that I didn't pay much attention to that aspect of the phone. I think I was under the impression that at least 512 MB would be available for user data.

I see that LeeDroid requires ext3 partition for Data++. I'm not sure what Data++ does but I know it has something to do with memory, and I love memory, and this phone (Desire) is known for constantly running out of memory. So I'm interested in that feature.

Data++ is an hboot. An hboot is the partitioning layout of the desires internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, data and cache. In order to have the most amount of space for app data, you want a bigger data partition. The Data++ hboot allows you to have this. As you can see on alpharevs website, the data++ allocates the memory like this:
System -180M Cache-5M Data-252M
To use this hboot, the rom's system size must be able to fit into the system partition (in this case 180mb).

So HBOOT is not the actual bootloader (IPL+SPL)? Because that's what I thought it was...
I would like to try the An-Droid (Anderl's Android).
So what I need is "bravo_alphaspl-data.img" file from AlphaRev website and the AN-Droid 2.2.0 data++ file? The AN-Droid file is called "An-Droid_2.2.0_data.zip" and it is 154.8 MB. So this will work?...
I have radio 5.09.05.30_2. I checked the HTC Desire stock radio thread. It says that 5.17.05.23 is the latest. Do I have to upgrade mine?
