[Q] MildWild v4.3 (oxygen 2.3.2 based) - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I was succesful a couple of days ago in rooting the Desire and then playing around.
I went for MildWild v4.3 just bcause a lot of pepole like it and state is stable and fast. Good starting point for a noob I guess.
I've got some questions I wasn't able to find the answer out in the forums: could you please address me to the right place ?
1. I'm currently using data++ partition table. It seems to be working. Any known issue ? Did I made the right or wrong choice ? A bit unsure of 5 Mb of cache.
2. Where may I find clarifications how MildWild is supposed to manage applications using sd-ext ? The system mounts the external storage, I just want to verify it is properly used.
Thank you in advance

go to settings/applications then preferred install location
then in applications go to development and check sd-ext then reboot.

1. fits better into cm7r2 hboot as you waste less space this way. don't worry about the 5MB cache.
2. as stated above. instructions are also in the first post of the rom thread.

1. I tried before the oxygen one: system partition was too little (90 Mb), then I stayed preservative since I didn't know how much was necessary.
Can I flash the table now avoiding re-install the rom after ?
2. Did it at once on first boot.
Just wondering whereas it's moving as maxium amount as possible into sd-ext. How can it be verified ?
Thanks

To change hboot I would recommend nandroid backup 1st, then flash cm7r2, boot back into recovery and restore.
I always use 'diskusage' app to check how all partitions are being used

Well.. at the end it is Linux.
Would be possible in the future to simply resize the partitions ?
Thank you for the tips.
Up today I'm not running out of memory. Then I stay and see how this rom is performing. Maybe I shall change and the table could be "wrong" again ..
I'm not a person who's consuming memory hard. Before the switch the system had about 15 mb still free in the nand.. I installed almost everything I needed. So I reckon the gain I obtained is enough for a long time.

The flashlight isnt working for me. Neither the app, nor the notification bar Button. Anybody else with this Problem?
Furthermore, After turning off wifi it wont connect via mobile data connection.
Concerning battery life i have to say : really nice with smartassv2 from modded r4

My Mildwild Desire has one nasty habit. Sometimes when data signal is very weak, I get a black screen of death. The only thing that seems to work is pull out the battery. I have seen reports of this issue, but no solutions yet. I tried different radio, with and without ext-4, different ROM (bare Oxygen 2.3.2), different hboot, different kernel, all without success. Any suggestions? Would it make sense to replace the microSD card?

mildwild oxigen headset / headphone problem
Hi,
I was wondering if somebody could help me... I have installed the MildWild V4.3 final, based on Oxigen 2.3.2 and my headset stopped working.
It was working for a day or two, then it stopped transmitting my voice...I have tried it with 4 different headsets and the result is the same I can hear the other side perfectly but the other end not... Sometimes I can hear myself in my ears, its like the phone transmits my voice to my earplug instead of the other phone, if you see what I mean. In the car I have jack connector to connect it to the car speakers and normally it is using the phone`s microphone, but again this wont work somehow...
I have tried flashing the Mildwild V5, CM version, before this, but it didn1t work at all.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks,

Battery and Lag Isuues Starburst

I made a thread on this before and didnt get much help so this im doing it right.
Size of sdcard used: 8gb Kingston class 4
Size of each partition created and type of partitions made : Primary fat 32 (4.7gb) and Primary EXT4 (2gb)
Software used for partitioning (Gparted, Amon Ra recovery etc): Gparted
Recovery Software installed, with version and subversion number (Eg: Clockworkmod 3.0.0 R3): Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whether you are S-OFF or S-ON (If you dont know what this is, or you dont have the picture of a Joker holding a card, on the bootup screen, you are S-ON): S-OFF
Detailed account of steps you did for the procedure, with output/errors at each step as received from the Recovery/Partitioning software: This part im not too clear about
Did you do a full wipe from Recovery before installation?: Yes
If you didnt, what ROM were you running previously?:
Version of the ROM you installed, and the names of the Data2SD installer/reinstaller flashable zips you used (if any.): Starburst (1.3.3.5) – Standard Edition Data2Sd installer (Stable) VersionCode :1.3tiny
If you’re using a custom kernel, full name of the kernel with author name, the kernel voltage if known, whether you have an overclocked/undervolted configuration: None
Did you get any of the following messages in recovery? …………………………………….
sd-ext could not be formatted, file already exists?
Failure mounting ‘sd-ext’
Or a message similiar to the above?: No
My battery is draining in 9 hours of moderate use opposed to full days or more before rooting and using this custom rom. It also lags now, it will be all zippy then it will freeze for a few seconds or just lag insanely. Maybe the battery issues are stemming from the cpu working too hard trying to deal with the lag. Thats just me brainstorming but ya, if anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it.
(As of now I am using a default homescreen free of all custom apps to see if the problem is stemming from one of them) EDIT: it made no difference so I am assuming it is not a running app.
(Also, it lagged as soon as starburst was installed so maybe the apps have nothing to do with it. Another issue is that when I press the power button to turn the screen on the screen dosent always turn on. This is another issue associated with the lag that is bothering me)
A note. The battery melts away when I start to use apps, the internet or anything that takes the phone out of standby mode. If I'm correct the kernel in the starburst rom overclocks the CPU to one thousand and something. Maybe this could be my problem. And if you think this may be the case could you recommend a better kernel to me? Thanks

I think I may have figured out the issue. You see, when I first installed the rom I restored my default settings effectively replacing my new fancy rom with the old one.
When I wiped the internal memory (2 gb or so off of ext 4 primary I think) the external still had a few files on it from the last install of the rom. I left those there thinking they would be no issue. Could those remnants from my first starburst install be the cause of my issues?

Wipe and repartition with Gparted, this time only leave 1 Gb for ext4. Dont install Setcpu and dont manually set vdd levels for kernel. See if it lags before any apps are installed. If it doesnt try restoring apps with Titanium and see again. Since you do have 10 posts, why dont you continue this qn in StarBurst thread? Please dont PM me. I rarely if ever check these!
Btw..you can also flash the Leedroid 2.2f from Kernels section of my site. It's known for its better battery life.

If your previous installation worked fine, no need to wipe. If you are coming from another Rom, you definitely need to wipe

LeeDroid Problem

Hi everyone i rooted my phone last night for the first time with LeeDroid, all that seemeed to happen was that it went back to the way i got the phone in the first place
I dont have Market, and if im honest i have no idea what to do
Can anyone help at all please ?
Thanks

Would i be better just downloading the 2.4 rom and trying that ?
How will i know that the ROM is installed correctly as like i said before it just seems like a new phone i got straight out the box ?

When you flashed the ROM did you do a full wipe? and Dalvik Cache too?

Can you help ? thanks
That is a successful flash mate by the looks of it. Of course you lose all apps and settings after flash, and as far as I know leedroid is a sense Rom, so it looks very similar to what you got out of the box, but now you can mod it and flash different kernels and scripts, like data2ext.
Oh, and regarding market, just search for market apk and install it the way you'd install any app.

LeeDroid looks and feels like a stock rom but with added extra bits, and speed.
you can overclock or underclock with setcpu run rooted apps.
the good thing about LeeDroid is that it looks familiar so it's a good starter rom to play about with. if you want something other than sense try a Miui rom or Redux.
Ive got 2.4 now but i have 2 issues
1. the market force closes when i select an app
2. when adding the htc people widget it lists no people in where they usually
Thanks
Now my SD card is saying Mounted Read only ?
any ideas ?
did you make an ext partition and a full wipe?
I don 't have any issues with this rom
Yes and i just tried to go back to delete and redo a new partition but its not showing only my pc is ???
i just reset it and now im getting the leedroid background i wasnt getting before , ive had to setup everything back from the beginning , facebook passwords etc
market is now working but im still getting the mounted read ony error
Either corrupt card or bad partitioning. Just partition it in recovery and search for ext align tool on Baadnewz blog. Google is your friend.
If partitioning doesn't help, try different card.

ok sorted that last issue but how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.47gb
and on the internal it only says 129mb
why is this ?
What was the fix for the last issue? If you don't provide full info we won't know where it could have fine wrong.
Sent from InsertCoin 2.0.1
tinky i partitioned it as you said in recovery but then i couldnt get past the loading screen with the joker on it aftwerwards
So i went back into recovery and i had to do a restore that was the only way i got it working and the memory card issue also vanished
Now its working properly should i backup my current ROM in ROM manager ?
what else do i need to do to make sure i dont **** it up in future ?
Also how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.46gb
and on the internal it only says 116mb
How much space you assigned to ext? Also, not all roms support ext4, so if you did use align tool, then quite possibly that your Rom just can't see ext partition. Solution, partition again but this time don't use align tool which will convert any ext partition to ext4.
Regarding not loading after partitioning that is sort of expected, restore done the trick for you. Regarding not getting into this situation again, once you get it right just use recovery to do nandroid and ext backup, and keep it safely on pc, in case you need to change SD card. Then you just partition new card and do restore.

Anyone having issues on the latest Leedroid 2.4 with apps that have been updgraded from in-app billing?
Have one app (quota) which is now disabled due to the fact that the upgrade is now in progress whereas it worked fine on 2.3d.
The app dev suspects it is ROM and market related as other stock ROM users haven't had the same issue.

hTC Desire keeps freezing after on rooted ROMs

Hey guys.
A while ago I`ve rooted my hTC Desire and did an S-OFF, to be able to install custom ROMs.
I`ve "tested" a few custom ROMs, but none of them seemed to be stable.
Currently I`m on SuperNova_Classic_2.0.2.0 with built in Data2SD (iData2SD)(the idea is to have a stable rooted ROM, with DATA2SD and Sense), but every time I flash the rom, then install my fav apps, the phone keeps freezing at certain points, sometimes it runs OK for a week - with no freezing - other times it freezes in the first couple of days after ROM flash. I`ve tried not to install that many apps, but I`m still facing this freeze problem.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Here are the steps I took for ROM flashing
1. Created a 1GB ext4 partition on SD-CARD, preceded by a FAT32 partition(as required in the tutorial of Supernova)
2. Rebooted into Recovery - wiped data/factory reset; wiped cache partition; wiped Dalvik Cache
3. Installed the ROM zip file from SD-CARD; on first boot, except for the Wi-Fi connection, I haven`t touched anything(google accounts etc. - skipped all steps - ), waited for the system to stabilyze, then did a normal reboot in order for the DATA2SD function to work. After next reboot, DATA2SD was working properly(I even had the pink LED light up), Storage Information was showing the 1GB ext partition as an internal memory.
4. Installed all my apps, configured phone, widgets etc.
This way, at a certain point, the phone simply freezes, have to remove the battery to be able to use it again.
Here are my phone specs:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANel-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Transcend class 4 - 16GB microSD card
I`ve searched and searched on xda-developers, but haven`t found an answer for my problem, yet.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated !!!
This is no help to you.... but I'm having exactly the same issue.
Sometimes it freezes when starting a game, but most of the time it won't unlock(ie phone unresponsive when I try to wake it).
This is not ROM related as it happened on several different Roms, with a full wipe between. I'm not overclocking.
The only things I can think of are:
-Partially corrupt ext partition on SD.
-failing hardware.
-some other sw issue ie radio(which has worked for a while before this started happening).
Thanks for your reply, Shaun - it does help, at least now I`m not alone in this
You`re right, it`t not ROM related, I`ve tried different ROMs myself, same problem.
I`ve also tried another SD CARD (class 2).
I don`t think it`s the radio, I have the latest version, the version required on Supernova tutorial for best compliance.
I really don`t want to believe that it`s a hardware fault, as I didn`t overclock either and always read/followed the exact right/official steps in root-ing/flashing ROMs.
I`ve reinstalled Supernova now, with absolutely no additional installation of fav apps. Going on 2 days with no freezeing, so far.
I`ll keep post-ing if any new developments occur.
Cheers.
You've not installed any apps at all? hmmm.
When you do re-install your apps(I assume from Titanium backup?), it'd be interesting to see if it starts freezing again.
This would then suggest either a dodgy app that we both have, or titanium backup itself causing the issue.

I'm using the same card that i've had for the last 18 months-
it's an 8gb class 2 card with 768mb partition, the rest is Fat32.
I`ve started reinstalling some of the apps, the most important ones, like iGo, YahooMessenger, YahooMail, etc., but didn`t use Titanium Backup, installed them manually using Market.
So far, so good, no freezing.
My SD CARD specs: Transcend Class 4 - 16GB; 1GB ext2 partition for apps, and the rest is FAT32.

I could be wrong, but from what I`ve seen so far, I would recommend NOT to use widgets that require superuser permissions. Also, before flashing any pre-rooted ROM, be sure to turn "Signature verification" OFF, in the phone`s "Recovery" screen options. If your ROM has any kind of "Data2SD" scripts integrated, after flashing ROM - at first boot, DO NOT configure anything (google account, sync, etc.), DO NOT download/install any apps yet, ONLY enter the Wi-Fi settings(if that is the case); leave the system to stabylize, then do a normal reboot(if the ROM supports "Fast boot" - turn it OFF before rebooting). At second normal boot, the DATA2SD scripts should kick in ( u should see the phone`s notification LED turn to: pink or blue - depending on the script used by the ROM).
A class 2 is a definite no no for Data2sd IMHO. Class 4 is debatable. I had a bit of lag with an older version of data2sd on a class 4. It may be better now, Depends what speed the card writes at really. If its minimum for class (4 MB/s) that could be a bit touch and go. EXT 4 would be the best option for the 2nd partition
I recommend using an a2sd+ solution temporarily to see if the freezes go away
I would mind the lag, I didn`t get any lag using my card though, but just saying, would mind if it would be laggy, the real problem is the constant freezing I`ve had.
If it`ll freeze again, I think I`ll go back to stock Froyo, use Apps2SD and install only the bare minimum.
U know, another thing I never quite understood, I think hTC makes one of the best smartphones on the market, but they limit their possibilites with small batteries and very little internal storage space. What`s up with that?

I'm not using Data2SD. I'm using A2sd+. Same partition that I used on my Hero, and now my Desire for the last 14 months. Still getting freezes.
I don't think it's a speed issue.
a2sd should be fine on a class 2. What a2sd solution is it? Did you move dalvik too?
Its just a logical approach thats needed.
1) Eliminate the SD card by not running from it.
2) Change the rom
3) RUU
If after all that it still freezes, sounds like HW....

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking.
I'm currently on InsertCoin with A2SD+. I was on LeeDroid, then RunnyMede before that with the same issue. I did a full wipe when swapping Roms. Not sure about Dalvik- if it's done in the Rom then yes, otherwise I haven't consciously moved it.
1) I might try a different SD that i have lying around- Nandroid it etc.
2) As above, already done that.
3) Last resort. Although a rooted RUU wouldn't be a massive issue for a day or 2.
If it's HW, I better get some insurance.
Edited to add: my SD card is actually a class 4. SD card tests suggests read speeds of 19-20mb/s and write speeds of 7-9mb/s.
Fixed my issue. It's the Kernel. Apparently the latest 2 kernels have the ability to undervoltage when not in use. Unfortunately, this can also cause the lockups i've(and possibly you've) been experiencing.
The last kernel without this in is: 2.6.35.14_110911.
This has 100% solved my issue and I recommended flashing it if you still having the same issue.
Great.
If I get another freeze, I`ll flash the 2.6.35.14_110911 kernel u`ve recommended.
Thanks a lot, dude.
If ever in Romania, look me up, got a few beers with your name on them

If it`s not too much to ask, could you possibly post a download link for that kernel version?

Did you flash the kernel while on existing ROM, or did you reflash de ROM as well?
And what ROM are u using with this kernel?
try using the earlier versions of super nova and data2sd, I also had the freezing problem but that was AFTER I upgraded to the newest version of supernova and data2sd
I`m using the 2.0.2.0 version, not the latest 2.4.0.0.
Earlier than 2.0.2.0?

[Q] Desire "reboots" when installing Apps

Hello guys!
First of all I would like to thank everyone who participates at XDA Developers. Incredible Job!
Since a few weeks I'm having problems with my HTC Desire using several ROMs.
I've been using Mildwild 3.2 since a few months and it went like a charm, so there was actually no need for me to change it. But then Mildwild 4.0 was released and for some reason I thought it might be a good idea to update my Desire to the latest Version.
I took my AData 16GB Class 10 SD Card and used GParted to partition the Card like it was supposed to be. 1GB Ext3. But when I installed Mildwild 4.0 I always had the same problem that when installing Apps the phone just "rebooted".. I'm using quotation marks, as it does not completely reboot, but instead only shows the "Mildwild" Logo (not the green HTC text on white background). The app is not installed. When i completely reboot the phone it is most likely to happen, that i can install the app without any problem.
As I did not find any solution to this and Mildwild started working on an ICS ROM i decided to switch to a different ROM that i already experienced a few months ago (at leat its predecessor) - Redux2 ZM 4.4. As I always thought that the problem is caused by my SD Card i decided to buy 4EXT Recovery from market and clean up everything before installing it. I formated everything /boot, /sdcard/, etc. - everything! And repartitioned the SD Card with 1GB Ext3 and 15GB Fat32. After installing Thalamus r4 kernel and redux2 everything has been restored from google servers like a charm, but for some reason some apps could not be downloaded. When I tried to install them manually after the automatic download finished.. guess what happened? The phone rebooted with the "redux" animation..
I actually dont have any idea anymore, what the reason could actually be. Maybe you can help me with my problem, as i just want to use a stable ROM on my beloved desire.
Thx in advance and sorry if i didnt find a thread that already discusses this problem!
i suggest you unstall some apps,because i've gone through this problem.It happens when there was a little space left.
Well, it says 130 MB left on internal storage
Same problem - no solution yet
Hi - I have also been having the same problem for the last 3 or so days. However, I am on an HTC Desire using LeeDroid ROM - so it would seem that this problem is not dependent on the ROM. Would be very grateful for a solution. This is starting to drive me nuts.
Im still struggelin with the problem. I thought it might be caused be a corrupted partition table? The idea with low space might also be the problem. Actually there are like 110 MB free whenever i look it up, but there might be peaks where it is lot less.. seen 40mb space left already. But why is this possible anyway? Thought this is the reason i have a sdext partition..

ok, i just wiped everything, formatted everything, repartitioned everything (1 gb ext4), flashed stock hboot, wiped everything again, flashed cm7r2 hboot, wiped everything again, flashed mildwild 4.0, flashed kernel r4.. booted once, set SD-EXT to active, rebooted, set sd-ext to default installation location, rebooted again.. now apps are downloading from the google servers and everything seems to work like a charm.. no "reboots" which i had the last few weeks.. ill keep u up to date
Sry for bringing this thread up again, but looks like I'm having the same problem as mentioned in the first post. Almost everytime I try to update or download new application, phone does the same as thread author described.
I'm on stock HBOOT if it means anything, Mildwild 4.8 based on Oxygen. Do I have to update HBOOT to fix this or is there another solution ?

Changing hboot doesn't help.
Just do what the OP did. Wipe everything, repartition your sd-card, and then see what happens.
I'll give it a try, I see Nobizzle did flash cm7r2 hboot so that is the reason I asked that. Nevermind, I'll stick with stock and report result after I finish.

Phone Hangs on every ROM

Hi
I have recently tried to flash my Desire with some ROMs and all of them hang and i have to snap the battery.
Here are some details:
I have completely formated my SD card using GParted Live into 2 partitions. One fat32 ~ 6 GB and another ext4 ~ 1.6 gb
I performed a full data wipe> cache wipe> dalvik wipe ; before installing any ROM
Installed the ROM> booted > (phone hanged on first boot at the home screen or if not then while using)
Phone works for sometime and starts hanging every now and then... I am not able to use any ROM AT ALL!!!
First i flashed RunnyROM (but that time i did the SD card partitioning with windows) > got hangs and installed SuperNova > got hangs> learnt that the partition needs to be done by GParted > did that installed same ROM > got Hangs > installed Silky ROM > got Hangs> did partition again with GParted> installed Runny ROM....

Anything you're doing about it? How are you using your phone?
I am so fedup that i am ready to go back to complete stock; but cant find a matching RUU somehow...
Edit: Tried flashing with RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
But get an Error : something like - choose the correct RUU...

The problem is the stock ROM works almost perfectly but I'm not able to use any ROM that requires SD-Ext partition. I've tried with CPU governors and "smartassv2" with 384~998MHz setting seems to be pretty stable at the moment - second round of AnTuTu Benchmark and it still isn't frozen! If it survives the third round, I'll set these settings permanent.
When you try any ROMs, don't plug the charger - it'll propably hang.

Why don't use the Gingerbread update? Seems to be compatible with most of Desire phones.
My Desire froze during the fourth round of AnTuTu Benchmark. Still the best settings though.

I have completely formated my SD card using GParted Live into 2 partitions. One fat32 ~ 6 GB and another ext4 ~ 1.6 gb

Two things:-
- For android to be stable ext partition needs to be less than 1.5 GB.
- Do not use any RUU other than 2.3 Android.

It seems like I have to run the RUU, too. Phone keeps freezing and rebooting anyway.
What class SD card and is it a high quality one like Sandisk?

Do a full wipe of everything:
>system
>data
>cache
>dalvik
Then use a ROM that doesn't use Anything2sd. Then I really don't see how you could get any hangs. If it is rebooting, then it's possible it's a hardware issue where it overheats and reboots.

Always did the FULL wipe... have been looking for a ROM without the App2SD ... but can't find any... I think everyone wants that... ... Why isn't it working for us????
At this point i wouldn't even mind the stock ROM... but strangely the RUU i tried to flash gave an error (mentioned above) now i don't know my compatible RUU.
Please point me to one and i should get over with this .... extremely sad that i can't use such wonderful ROMs... don't even know what's wrong!!
First: I had problems with EXT4 partition, try EXT3 instead.
Second: I recommend CronMod-bravo/bravoc ROM , follow the guide strictly (beware, there are two versions for GSM and CDMA phones).

I tried the EXT3 also earlier... no luck whatsoever....
Right now i am just planning to un-partition my card and find a nice stable non all2sd ROM...
Any recommendations?
Have you tried a different SD card

I'm using nikez lente 101b2 it is a really stable 4.0 rom but a2sd helps. I used mini tool partition wizard it was really easy.

Most AOSP ROMs don't need A2SD since they can fit into the cm7 or oxygen HBOOT.
CM7
Oxygen
MIUI (Choose the one without A2SD or D2EXT)
dGB
Devnull
I'm sure there are others too.
Also, maybe your SD-Card is just sh*t, because aside from the obvious slight performance decrease of A2SD, there weren't many problems with it. Have you tried other SD-Cards? I'm not saying to buy a new one because it could turn out to be a waste of money, but if you have a spare one which is Class 6 or higher, try that. You can always buy one from the store and return it if it still isn't working as it should.
