Desire ROM (pre alpha)

[Guest simoneser]

I noticed 2 little things:

if I disable Data Network, there's the 3G\G icon in notification bar.

There is no way to connect USB (i remember that first version of desire rom for nexus one had this problem)

[Guest sette7nani]

Damn, phhusson should never post this link :/

Added a lil' fix for camera and wifi with updated kernel and libs from phhusson.

Try to fill needed informations when adding APN, and save it. Even if you don't see it in the list, it should activate it.

uhm..i need someone that tells me how to populate apn settings for vodafone italy :D

there are many settings needed.... :D

[Guest akira.pwr]

The only data you have to put is:apn: mobile.vodafone.it

mcc:222

mnc:10

tipo apn: default,supl

I took this from froyo, but saving it, don't works... Apn I've configured disappear from list.

This rom is great!

Replaced HTC Sense with Launcher Pro and now it's a lot smoother (i lost some widget, but i own the LP Plus version :D )

Solved USB problem using Extended Controls, now i have to delete that annoiying "3G\G" icon on notification bar.

can you explain us how to fix usb problem?

thanks :D

[Guest simoneser]

You have to buy an app from Market called Extended Controls, and enable Mass Storage widget.

Or search for some alternatives, search something like Mount USB

[Guest simoneser]

Sorry, double post

Download on the market an app or widget to mount / unmount SD card

I hate you!

Come on, i cannot change rom every day :D

Is it worth to try for fun or is it usable daily?

[Guest akira.pwr]

I confirm apn works fine, now I try to push the file for wifi, can't i to put it with root explorer in the same place where I took it?

ANDROID76 (Vache, too :D) number1! thanks :D

Edit: Well, I see a lot of people like this rom and hope vache and/or someone else give a chance to make it better, maybe it will never be perfect, but... why don't try?

It's not a real request, we all know devs have a lot to do and a own life, so if you want to do something, we will appreciate. :D

with apn fix (at every reboot you need to populate apn settings) and little adjustments this rom rocks!

and htc widgets are fantastic :D

If you disconnect and reconnect apn with extended control, you don't need to repopulate it, connection works.

I think devs can delete some apps we can't use, or useless for free some ram.

I don't know how much I have free now, but rom itself it's heavy, I think

ok i installed extended control, it's fine, thanks

now i'm trying autokiller, to free same ram (only 6megs free now)

[Guest bais]

I often heard that Sense ROMs were unstable (many FC) even on Nexus One.

I am surprised by how stable this ROM is, there are bugs but none of them make the phone unusable. Here's a list of current problems:

-SD Card can't be mounted without a 3rd party app

-Camera only takes shots up to 3MP (I remember when vache ported Sense camera app to LiquidE beta bins the same problem appeared, I guess a 3rd party app could fix that one too)

-There's an annoying one, if I want to turn off my phone, I have to remove battery, because when I select Power off, the phone doesn't turn off, it just stays on the shutting down the phone screen.

-Sense is a RAM eater, if using Sense it's advised to use Autokiller with Optimum preset. If you use LauncherPro then you may not have that problem. This one is kinda obvious, all the HTC phones have a big amount of RAM (288MB for Hero, 384 for Legend, 512 for Desire).

-The H or 3G icons stays on Status bar (nothing really bad there)

Why does everyone insist on having free ram?

that's like having 1TB free on my hard drive...it does nothing!

We want to free ram because when ram is too low, device become laggy, so it's better to have a little more, don't you agree?

I really like this rom, I want to keep more sense elements as possible, so I'll try a task killer (i don't use any in other roms).

Vache, it's a good job, even if need some fix. N1.

To have more free memory, you can make a bigger ramzswap, wich is 50Mo by default.

adb shell

# swapoff /dev/block/ramzswap0

# rmmod ramzswap

# insmod /modules/ramzswap.ko disksize_kb=102400 

# swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

*(102400=100Mo, you can try bigger or lower values)

Thanks a lot, I hope to have done the right procedure :D

I have some connection issue, after reboot i have to disconnect and reconnect several times to have data connection, sometimes it's hard to have it... (I mean connection with data plan, wifi seems to works fine)
