"2.0.9 + noSense works perfect!"

lordofcamster

"When I compare my phone running Revolution HD 2.0.9 with my friend's DHD on stock with all the latest OTA, I really can't understand how and why a single man can optimize so badly a Rom to take the most advantage of our phones...(...)"

DarkAdrien

"Feels a lot smoother in use - scrolling, swiping between sense screens. Much nicer feel. This is a real good one, Mike. Many thanks :-)"

Remember to check MD5 Checksum before flashing !!!

With 5.1.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio.

You need RADIO S-OFF in order to do it properly.

Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength.

Don't flash RADIO from ClockworkMod recovery! Extract downloaded file and read the guide inside!

Would you like to have this ROM with stock "Gingerbread" 3D launcher & without all HTC Sense UI components?

Take a look at the second post!





Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD / 4G my battery drains much faster. What can I do?

A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.

Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain

For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

Q 2: My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?

A: Your Premium Navigation may not work correctly for many reasons. Most of them are not ROM related. You can try the following things:

- reinstall your Locations under "Settings" ---> "Locations"

- remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card

- re-download Google Maps from the Android Market

- clear data from Google Maps in system software management

Q 3: When my phone is charging and I turn it on, it always takes me directly to recovery. Why is that?

A: This is a common issue with ClockworkMod recovery. Please unplug your phone and try again. This issue is solved in ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.6 and newer.

Q 4: After I reboot my device, mp3 ring-tone is back to default. What should I do?

A: Go to Ringtones > Menu > More Ringtones > Create new ringtone > Select the one you want (Thanks to kill4l)

Q 5: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my phone.

A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

Q 6: After flashing Android Revolution HD / 4G my SD card is being mounted as ready only. What should I do?

A: Connect your SD card to your PC and do defragmentation process. If you still have some problems with SD card, please read this.

Mac users can use the repair function of the MacOS disk utility to solve the read only problem (Thanks to Calimero1205).

Q 7: My CPU load is all the time nearly 100% and in most part it's used by system. What is the reason of that high CPU usage and how can I fix it?

A: Delete your htcsense.com account. It takes A LOT of your battery and CPU usage.

Q 8: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?

A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.

Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

Q 9: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?

A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

Q 10: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?

A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

Q 11: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?

A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

Q 12: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?

A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.

If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

Q 13: My proximity sensor doesn't seem to work anymore. How can I fix it?

A: Please check this thread for further help.

Q 14: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?

A: There are some solutions:

1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.

2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.

3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.

4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.

5. Read this and this post.

Q 15: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?

A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

Q 16: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?

A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.

There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.

What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.

Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

Q 17: I have com.htc.bgc process force close few times a day. How can I fix it?

A: It's because you have removed HtcTwitter.apk (HTC Twitter application). Please restore it.

Q 18: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?

A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.

Q 19: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?

A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.

[Guest Cue_32]

can you mirror the radio(s) from another site? I'm unable to download any of them.

Currently running Raidroid Telus ROM using default radio.... it might work with it but I wanna have it ready in case. Perhaps uploading the radio.img here?

I've been trying to download the radio from XDA since yesterday.. LoL

[Guest tykoon]

Are the radios on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295 the same as those listed above?

If so the download links are working.

I have an unbranded Desire HD from the UK. How do I know which of those two radios is the one for my phone or will they both be OK?

Thanks

Thanks... got it from there.

Those Dropbox links do actually work, but you have to choose the "Copy to my dropbox" link right at the top of the page. The direct download part is still blocked though.

[Guest jackdaniels_lee]

@Mike1986... did you really just post your rom on modaco or am I seeing things? :huh:

hope you signed up for an add free account!!

[Guest kendon]

considering that paul already announced EOL of mcr for the DHD it's legit, imho.

[Guest MisterBMA]

im afraid to touch my HTC Desire HD but this looks good :(

[Guest]

Why is 2.0.15 not even announced on team revolutions page? Seems somewhat weird.

@kendon: When and where did paul announce that? Would make me sad :(

[Guest Android V 3.3.1]

You need to downgrade your software first 1.72 is your problem. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 , then you can go here to flash new ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769.

Secret is not to rush into it have a good read first while charging your battery up.

[Guest kendon]

@kendon: When and where did paul announce that? Would make me sad :(

yeah, why reading the first post... same place as he does for every rom nowadays, the first post of the rom thread.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).

[Guest]

Ah, that's what you mean.. It doesn't really mean that the DHD will be discontinued, it's a general advice not to donate for a ROM as you might be disappointed when there are no further updates. I do actually think that Paul will bring as a few more updates.

Even though the here posted Revolution HD ROM is very, very sweet and would work perfectly as a MCR replacement.

[Guest mike1986]

Sorry for not updating this thread for a long time. First post has now the latest version available :unsure:
