Do you have compatible hboot, according to installation instructions?


Also...how to I change from perfomance to a more battery friendly CPU usage?

You need set cpu, oc/uv beater, rom toolbox or some similar third party app which can interact with cpu governors.

Many many got stuck here ish. Me too. You must be Precise with your phone setup prerequisites then the ROM installation procedure.
Fwiw I have exactly
the symptoms you have. Pink led and reboots. My gut feeling is its something to do with sd card and formatting as when I convert ext 2 to 4 etc and back it says convert successful but when rechecked they sometimes stuck at old file system

Thx for 2.4.0.0
Coming back from Starburst with an intermezzo with AceS007 3D.
The only thing which is bothering me is the WiFi connection. With droidzone Kernel I'll lose connection after a short period of time and had to reconnect manually.
To cross check if this is a problem with the Kernel I wanted to ask if it is possible to use gingercake Kernel. And whether I need the Preflash.zip or not.

Thx again for your great work.

Sure, you can try other kernels. I just released it with the stablest kernel so that it will not have any of the freeze or reboot issues plaguing newer kernels. Some kernel installations don't wipe existing libs in system/lib/modules, so addressing incompatible modules at boot can cause boot loops. The preflasher prepares the dir. In any case I haven't added startup scripts to load any modules at boot, so preflasher is no longer necessary. Just flash any kernel directly (never wipe dalvik cache or cache)

When you try kernels with oc/uv, note that none of them are universally stable, so expect reboots and/or freezes. Take note of that before attributing it to the ROM

Hi again. Unless you've committed some gross blunder in the installation procedure (i'm not saying that you have, and even if you have, it'd be accidental), or as you say, your card/partitioning is really improper, it should really work on any phone.

Since you've already spent so much time on it, why don't you fill the reporting form (which tells me exactly which step has been done wrong), and flash the getlogs tool? It really can't get simpler than this.

Note that the couple or more people who had issues were people who skimmed over my detailed instructions. That's why the site is there, to hold your hand and guide you.. The notes there have between
painstakingly compiled over a year of experience making roms, so don't take any sentence over there lightly.

Easiest way to check if it's a card issue, use a spare card (can even use your goldcard)

At this point, no time to test the lightsensor mod. Flash the rom over current install to remove the mod. Another solution is to flash DalvikOptimizer

Smooth upgrade

For the benefit of anyone who may be in doubt on the upgrading procedure.
It's simple and smooth .... as long as you don't do anything unproper.

Steps with a * are optional but recommended.

My Desire has a 4GB SD Card with 3Gb/FAT (1st partition) and 1Gb/ext4 running Supernova 2.0.2.0 is rooted and S-ON.

0*) Connect the phone to the charger
1) Download version 2.4.0.0
2*) Make sure there is enough free space on the FAT partition for a nandroid backup (to me that's 960Mb)
3*) Boot into recovery
4*) Nandroid backup
5*) Boot normally
6*) Save to PC the clockworkmod folder on the FAT partition just in case
7) Copy the rom 2.4.0.0 zip on the root of the FAT partition
8) Reboot into recovery
9) Install from Zip file and wait for it to finish
10) Reboot normally

Everything should be fine, ROM update (you can check it under software info) with all your apps there as they were.

That's what happened to me (no need to restore anything from a bakcup). Your mileage my vary. As pointed out before DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING if you are already on SuperNova.

i really understand your frustration to help and thanks. yes it all looks simple i HAVE followed the instructions implicitly and no go. it must be the sd card but its fine with ext2 on another rom. will have to try another card as you say i think it just doesnt like ext4. even when using etx4rec to convert i will get messages like done/complete then if i go to print partition it will say its still ext2 even using gparted its touch and go wether etx4 is applied i.e gpart to ext4 done. remount says ext2! so yes this is no way anything to do with your rom install procedure. thanks again for trying to help me

WTH is wrong with this ROM? It's so slow and unstable! Freezes, slowness, WTH? I flashed this to have a fast reliable phone, but now really disappointed.

pvt3 S-OFF, 1 GB ext3 partition, class 10 patriot sdcard.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

I rebooted to see if it fixes the problem, the rosie is stuck on loading for 10 minutes.

If you read the thread, there's so many problem reported with class10 sdcard with data2sd.
So it is not ROM related problem.

Thanks DZ 2.4.0.0 running great. I had a few lags on 2.0.2.0 with my class 6 Transcend card (after I sorted my issues out :D ) but 2.4 is so much faster I thought I'd finally unwrap my class 10 card and give it a go.

Wow, amazing :D a little hesitation now and again when swiping left / right and opening contacts but otherwise magnificent. Quadrant score of 1406 (if that means anything)

I followed this tutorial to create the partitions using Ubuntu, I didn't follow FAT32 format part though.

It's a Transcend 16GB Class 10 :D

Great..Aligning with Sibere's tutorial should definitely give you more performance. :)

Lucky guy..My Transcend 16GB Class 10 is no good!

Not a Rom issue. Restart/clear Market data/apply Dalvik optimizer

Is the dalvik optimizer a must have? I had installed it in your previous version, but I haven't in this one (did full wipes before installation though). If it is..should/can I install it now and it won't cause any problems?

Ps. 3rd day and I am fine with the Rom.

Good to hear that :)

Dalvik Optimizer is not an installable app. It's like a procedure. It's like you washing your car, and cleaning off the grime. It cleans off dirty/leftover/buggy bits of data and allows the system to rebuild Dalvik-cache after doing Titanium restore etc

    NEW!! OFFICIAL HTC GINGERBREAD UPDATE
    Yea, the Stable Official Rom with Unlimited Memory that you've been waiting for!

    (Sense | Android 2.3.3 (GingerBread) | DATA2SD | CRT TV Off Animation | Trackpad Awake | Seamless migration from Froyo and any other Roms without Data loss)

    Official GB 2.3.3 v3.14.405.1 (Stock Sense 1.9) | Stock rooted Desire GSM Rom | ext 4 | Bravo Stock Hboot
    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE ON MY SITE:



    Download Links: Supernova Site

    NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PORT OF ANOTHER DEVICE.


    While this means that this does not have Sense 2 or 3, this also means that this is based on the Official HTC RUU built for the Htc Desire. So you can expect everything to work perfectly. The difference is that while htc designed the desire to have 147 mb of internal memory, we have redesigned it to have any amount of internal memory!!

    No need to meddle with Hboots, use stock Hboot
    no need to adjust with incomplete implementations like app2sd or a2sd+. Use 100% of your ext partition!
    Install hundreds (or thousands if you prefer) of apps. No need to uninstall anything any more!


    Dedicated Site & Support Forum at www.droidzone.in
    Comes with Data2SD

    Droidzone's Roms now have their own dedicated Forum to give specific, accurate help to users. Utilize the forum effectively, especially if you are new to the world of Roms



    This is a support forum for my Roms and not a competitor forum to XDA-developers. It has a full fledged issue tracker and bug report generation system. NOTE: This does not mean you can demand immediate attention to issues.

    MicroSD Card Preferred: Preferably a Class 4 or Class 6 (Try it if you have Class 2 or Class 10)

    Donations encourage devs to spend more time on their Roms. It's not because we need the money, but because we feel that our work is so useful to someone else that they felt a need to Donate. :) If you feel like Donating, use the Thanks button. Alternately, you can also express your affection for the Rom by writing a post or blog about it. ;)




    A big thanks to these people for the generous Donations received, and the various past and present users of StarBurst, GingerBurst and SuperNova Roms for their great support and continuous encouragement. Thanks a lot, Guys!


    Rom Making is not a business for me and neither should it be for any other person on XDA who calls himself a developer. If you have the audacity to beg for money, you ought to be somewhere else!

    Note: Due to some weird Voodoo blackmagic, the Thanks Button on this post is missing. Use the buttons from the next post!! :)


    Food for thought:

    What HTC has to say about GingerBread update for the Desire:

    HTC: This update is only recommended for expert users who want to experience Android 2.3 and understand the limitations which apply to this update. Due to memory constraints several applications have been removed from this update and we are only offering the ROM upgrade utility (RUU) for you to download. Please note that flashing this ROM will erase your previous customizations, including any messages, emails, contacts, and other personal information.

    SuperNova Team: This update is recommended for every user who wants to experience Android 2.3 without any of the the limitations which apply to HTC's update. Every application removed by HTC has been readded! Please note that flashing this ROM will preserve your previous customizations, including any messages, emails, contacts, and other personal information.

    HTC: The major changes in this update include:
    - All customizations, including operator applications, will be removed
    - All wallpapers, except the default wallpaper, will be removed and placed online on the HTC Developer website
    - Several HTC applications will be removed and placed online on the HTC Developer website
    - The official Facebook application will be removed and is downloadable on the Android Market.

    SuperNova Team: We have readded everything.

    HTC: This ROM update is for development only and not for general public use. Upgrades to non-authorized phones may result in loss of functionality. In addition certain functions may no longer be usable after re-flashing the ROM, including but not limited to MMS and SMS and HTC also disclaims liability for any unusable functions. HTC also disclaims liability for the loss and/or leakage of any personal data resulting from the re-flashing of the ROM.

    SuperNova Team: This ROM update is for everyone, and is for general public use! Upgrades will not result in loss of functionality, if you have the Sense (pun intended) to follow simple step-by-step instructions vide the site!

    Why is SuperNova the Rom for me? - Unlimited Internal space guaranteed!

    Most of the users of Desire don't have rooting in mind when they buy their devices. The only thing that bothers them when they use the phone is the extremely low internal memory (147 MB remaining in Internal memory) they get with it.

    There have been earlier implementations to overcome this procedure like Google's own Froyo Apps2sd, and the A2sd+ by Cyanogen and Darktremor. However the fact remains that even with all those, one can barely install about 20 or so apps before Internal memory gets over. Even modifying the size of the MTD blocks (with different Hboot sizes or Data++) can install a maximum of about 30-50 moderately sized apps (much less if you use Firefox, Games, Themes etc). If you're a fan of games, things will inevitably become bitter very soon.

    However Sibere came up with an innovative and simple solution called Data2SD, which though similiar in concept to so called Data2ext/Data2whatever codes, uniquely provided a stable footing to prevent any reboots/loss of memory to prevent data loss. The code changes the whole /data mount to an ext4 journalled partition, so that you can add any amount of Internal memory for your Desire. This means that you can use any amount of space from your sdcard as Internal memory. Problem solved! It doesnt need you to S-off (though that would make the installation simpler by one step), or changing your Hboot, or your MTD partition allocation.

    With Sibere's help, I have fully integrated his Data2sd code in my automation scripts for installing/updating Data2sd automatically, a.k.a Typhon, into the SuperNova Gingerbread 2.3.3 Rom so that after installing the Rom, when users reboot for the first time (S-on users will need to flash another file instead of directly rebooting), instantly the Internal memory shoots up to 2Gb (this depends on the amount of space you have partitioned for ext4). It is completely Idiot-proof (no hardcore knowledge needed at all. You dont even have to know what adb is!), in case there is an issue with the installation, the advanced Typhon script included will pinpoint exactly where and when the installation faltered, and can provide logs for instant troubleshooting.

    SuperNova also has a dedicated website and support forum at www.droidzone.in where a complete wiki/user manual is available for a complete walkthrough wizard during installation. Including the Stock HTC Gingerbread Sense released by HTC a couple of days back, it is the ideal upgrade for those wanting HTC Gingerbread experience in all its pristinity, but with the dream of more Internal Memory come true. Of course being completely deodexed, users are at liberty to theme it at will.

    As of August 2011, the built-in files available on UOT Theme kitchen (an awesome endeavour by the way), are outdated framework files and are incompatible with the latest SuperNova Rom's framework. Flashing the themes cooked on the basis of their built in files will result in a bootloop or system hang. Flashing themes cooked after directly uploading the requested files (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk) is therefore recommended. You're welcome to request the UOT themers to add this Rom's correct framework files to their list, as my requests for this have been ignored so far. As a sidenote, kindly note that at no point of installation of the Rom/Kernel/Themes should you wipe Cache or Dalvik-Cache (even if asked to, by kernel devs/theme modders)

    Specific Thread Rules (Warning: Will be enforced)
    We hope the Rom works flawlessly and quick like it does on the majority of MicroSD cards. If, woe betide, your microsd card is one of the few incompatible cards, you may notice significant lags. This is a clear indication of the card's incompatibility, and since this is a hardware flaw, we cannot correct this with any software we write! Understand that. Any flaming or irresponsible remarks like "your Rom s*cks", "lags as h*ell" etc will not be tolerated (when a simple search or browsing will reveal 100x times users thanking us and reporting that the Rom shows awesome performance for them.

    Requesting ETAs also annoys developers in general, and us too. We do have a life outside of XDA, and our Roms do not provide any significant source of income. So, we release code when it's ready. It doesnt help with you asking when it's going to be released.

    This is also not the place to discuss other roms, or why this Rom doesnt have some particular feature in comparison with another! Any such posts are in violation of XDA forum's generic rules, and that of the Desire subsections' rules in particular, and will be reported to Forum mods for necessary action. This thread is about development and we dont want a few users spoiling the experience of the majority of users.

    Although you're free to ask questions and clarify doubts, you're expected to research your questions (Try google. No really, just try it!) before asking basic questions. Expect that the developers will ignore basic queries. That's not the purpose of a development forum, it's of the Q & A forum. Most questions that you have on your mind have already been asked in the thread, and a targeted search will yield them. Most of the queries have also been compiled as a list of Frequently asked Questions (FAQ) on my site

    Requesting some mods/features is fine, and constructive criticism is welcomed.
    Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting THE Rom for our Desires (pun intended)..

    Installation issues? Help us help you..

    For anyone with issues installing the Rom:

    SuperNova has an automated Error logging system. There is no point in asking for help regarding installation, unless you fill out the Reporting form available on the site from the link below. If you cant boot, you should also flash the Getlogs Tool and attach the generated zip file. Don't worry! It's very easy!

    http://supernova.droidzone.in/?page_id=137


    If you dont do these two things, dont post some incomplete information and expect help! You WILL be ignored! The questions you need to answer are on the link. Copy the questions, post in XDA with the answers, attach the .tar.gz file generated when Getlogs is flashed.

    Preview of Form:
    sample_form.jpg


    Copy the entire form from the site, fill it out as detailed as you can. In addition, if you get stuck during installation, you should let the phone hang for upto 20 mins. Then, pull the battery, and restart into Recovery mode. Without wiping anything, immediately flash the Getlogs tool. Once Getlogs is finished, log files will be produced in /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz. You should attach this file to a new post, along with the filled out form above and any additional details.

    You can download the flashable Getlogs tool from here:
    http://droidzone.in/roms/index.php?dir=SuperNova/Additional/&download=GetLogsv8.zip If this link does not work, the latest Getlogs can be found on the site.

    An additional log (OPTIONAL) extremely useful for finding out what went wrong is an adb logcat. If you would like to read about how to create one, see the following link:
    Note that flashing the latest Typhon beta (available on my Box.net account here) means you dont have to worry about creating manual adb logs. The highly intelligent script will do that, you lazy flash-maniacs (Sibere's expression :) )

    Remember!! SuperNova Rom is provided free for you. The developers have spent a tremendous amount of time working on this project. So dont expect that posting a help request/flashing the Rom/corrupting anything on your device in any way requires the developers or volunteer users to help you out. If your post is sufficiently detailed, and if one of the developers is free at the time, and is willing to help you out, he may (or may not). If your question is unanswered dont repost it, as it just irritates us and makes us want to ignore you! Wait patiently till your request is answered.


    If a working phone is important to you, or your phone is mission critical, dont use a custom Rom. You're better off with the official HTC RUU.

    Considering porting a Sense 4 ICS ROM to the desire. I will probably have to create a brand new kernel, and compile apktool for ICS SDK support. It will probably be very unstable and hardly usable.

    Anyone good at apktool willing to help? Or for kernel porting?
