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.

Should we erase all previous files when updating roms? Do they cause trouble?

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

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.

What SD card specs?

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?

Kernel at the bottom of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18894823&postcount=10450

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?

Flashed straight over the top. Insertcoin ROM.

Use the latest Supernova and see. It has a pretty good kernel.

[Q] MildWild v4.3 (oxygen 2.3.2 based)

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?
HTC Desire S-OFF, Mildwild V-4.3

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,

Frozen at boot screen (htc) - CronMod 1.05

Issue to resolve: Phone not booting into ROM, stuck at 'htc' screen. Second issue is with Google Play, says "No connection".
Any help on this is highly appreciated!
Short story:
Hello everyone.
After I got my Samsung S3 I decided to play around with my old HTC Desire a little bit. My aim was to install a ROM that would be as plain as possible, visually, so I can play around with it (which I hoped would also maximize battery life) and make it n00b friendly. CronMod seemed the way to go, what with his tweaks and the INT2EXT script etc to maximize app space. Plus didnt want to go to ICS cuz of camera issues.
However, I've been struggling with it. My phone rarely boots up after a shutdown, it just stays at the opening HTC screen and nothing happens. When it does load up into the ROM, on the rare occasion, it'll Reboot fine as many times as I ask. Its just after a shutdown that it doesnt work. Since I want to give this phone to my mom, she, not being very tech savvy, wont have the patience for this. So I need a permanent fix.
The second issue I'm having is with Google Play. It works fine for a little bit but for no reason will stop working. This happened the first time I installed the ROM, then I re-installed and it again having the same issue. I tried "Clear Data" and phone reboot but still no respite.
Phone Details:
CM7r2
6.93.1002
GSM HTC Desire
4EXT recovery.
16GB class10 card: sdcard0 ~13GB, 1.5GB EXT4, 256MB Swap. (also, if someone can explain what Swap is would also help)
Apps2SD script used: Cron's INT2EXT - seemed pretty good.
S-OFF'd and all of course - Revolutionary.io used.
I did try MIUI-Au before this, which was pretty decent, and I may just give up and move on to that if no one has a solution.

Did you changed hboot? i had the same problem when i installed miui on oxygen r2, which wasnt compatible. If you didnt change hboot i think it's the rom, i suggest you flash another one. And about swap..well the point is you dont need a swap partition. It's like another part of ram, when the ram is full the system uses the swap to free it(or something similar, i'm not good on explaining so sry if you dont understand but it's similar).

I changed the HBOOT before I flashed the ROM on. The CM7r2 HBOOT is meant to be compatible with the ROM.
Thanks for the info on Swap, it does make it a lot clearer.
I'll probably wait a bit longer to get some more replies, and if I cant fix the issues then I suppose there's no option but to move to to a new ROM. [I really hope the Devs get the camera issue sorted with ICS roms then I'll jump ship "in a flash". ]

You have given hboot version as 0.93.XXX. A cm7r2 hboot ver should be 6.93.XXX.

Yes, that's correct. It is 6.93.1002.

If it is just stopping at the HTC screen then I am inclined to think it may not be a ROM issue. At this stage you are still in bootloader. Will it even refuse to go to recovery when it starts acting up or for that matter is even fastboot available? If it neither goes to recovery nor can you access fastboot then that means it is hung in bootloader.
But the bootloader should be OK since a corrupt bootloader means brick. You cant boot sometimes like you seem to.
The other reason for bootloader hanging would be I guess overheating or some other hardware fault. Does the device boot up fine after you let it cool down well?

I can get into Recovery fine every time - VolumeDown + Power -> Fastboot -> Recovery.
I cant seem to get into the ROM anymore. It does warm up pretty quickly if I leave trying to boot up but I figured that was because of the screen drawing more power due to constant white screen. What I did find earlier in the day was that if I held down VolDown+Power+Trackball (is that hard reset..?) at that HTC screen it would sometimes restart the phone and then it would load up to the ROM - but its hit and miss. Like right now it just wont work.

Maybe your Desire's partitions are somehow corrupted. Use 4ext to check partition, or do a full wipe, including sdfat32.

I would wipe davlik cache and perform a system wipe/factory reset from recovery then install CM7 as this is pretty plain and can be easily customised. Also you can install S2E from the play store to manage your A2SD with no separate script needed. Hopefully you don't have anything on the phone you need to back up. With any luck this might fix your play store issue too.

I have come across this issue once with 1 out of the 4 desires I have personally installed my rom on. Change the kernel to cronmodkernel 1.2 or a kernel of your choice and it will boot and shutdown. I am working hard to find the cause of the issue

I hate to ask this question, since I'm sure you're busy fixing bigger issues, but what exactly is a kernel? I know the ROM is like an OS on a PC but then what is the kernel? How would I install it (is it just the same ol' Recovery --> Install from sd but without any wiping?) and why would it fix the issue with my phone?
Thanks.

The kernel is what runs the OS it is a Linux kernel patched for the arm architecture it contains the drivers as well as it is responsible for booting the phone and also is the layer between the hardware and software.
For a more in depth explaination PM me

To put it simply, it's just a bunch of codes that makes the link between the hardware part and software part.So without it the software part doesnt know how to use the hardware part. And yes you can flash it from recovery and since it's a part of the rom, maybe the rom's kernel it's deffective or something, it's worth to try.

[Q] Stable root impossible =(

Hello everybody,
I am trying to root my mobile phone on something stable, but it is impossible... I used more than 20 different root, and always the same :
Crash after some hours, by different ways :
- I want to unlock, but the screen stays off (the led of the hardwired buttons lights on, but nothing more)
- When I unlock, it stay in the unlocking phase
- In use, reboot without any visible reason
- When I receive a message, the app make the phone crashing (I missed the born of the child of my best friend by this way ^^)
- ...
My phone informations :
Htc Desire, S-OFF with Unrevoked3
Hboot : stock or cm7r2 (depending the recommandation of the developper of the rom)
Radio : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
4Ext Recovery touch
Thank you very much,
Olivier

I am guessing your phone is "rooted" and you are having problems with stable roms?
Do you have an ext partition on your sd card? Are you wiping all partitions in recovery before flashing rom?
Try good old Leedroid rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703 using stock hboot

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, my phone is rooted and I'm having problems with roms, not root as I said, sorry!
All the roms I tried were "stable", except perhaps 3.
I have done an Ext4 a week ago, to try if it is better (with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Editio), but before, I had an Ext done by the recovery. I think Ext2
I wipe all partitions every time (except SD card, for my data) before flashing.
I will try this one, and hope it will be good =p
Thank you very much!

Never partition with minitool. You made a faulty ext partition.
Check out my sig for a guide to correctly partition your sd-card.

This was very very very instable... I made installation (as they asked, from a to z), but it crash.
I tryed this one again with the new ext3 : http://downloads.nikez.nu/
We will see how many hours without crash (yes, I count it in hours =( )
Thank you for helping, I tell if the ext3 made with this method was helpfull!
Olivier

What make of sd card do you have? Some are better than others?

The SD Card is a SanDisk 16GB Micro SD
I tryed the leedroid rom again : 2 crashes in one day... As for every other : unstable for me... But why, I don't know.
I put my very old version back (the one which was on my phone before beginning rooting and other pretty things like this). I need something stable before having an issue.
If you have other ways to explore, I take it! I want a new version of android, and not the original 2.2.2 as back now
Thank you

Same Problem

Ive been having the same problem with my Desire since the last year or something. I haven't been able to find a single stable ROM since I rooted my device. I'm pretty sure I have tried almost all the ones available in this forum. I'm also quite sure that I have rooted my device properly.
In addition to the above mentioned problems my phone also has problem accessing data from the sd card. I am using a SanDisk Ultra 8GB, with 512mb ext4 partition made using Gparted live boot cd.
My phone information is:
HTC Desire soff with revolutionary
hboot - 6.93.1002
radio - 5.17.05.23
ROM - currently trying out PARANOIDANDROID v2.99 betaNINE+ | PIE | TabUI | QUICKTOGGLES
It will be of a big help to me if someone can help out with this issue.

Now, we are two with the same problem...
I have two crash in one day since I put my original version back. Not so bad, but so old! =p
