Does anybody have a little bit more specific instructions on how to install this on my CDMA Desire? Cause it says the HBOOT thing is only for GSM. And how do I get a radio?

Thanks.

I'm testing this cool rom since yesterday, in version GSM, and it´s perfect.

Very fast and without bugs by the moment.

Thanks @coolexe

I just got done flashing this onto my CDMA Desire... So far so good.. I have been without "Sense" for quite a while, seems to be working well. I will check back often and report any issues that I come across.

Found the reason for no wi-fi. Its because of a corruption in the system file system (bad blocks on device) which means that the data++ partition is too small for the rom. Either delete some apps or convert to stock partition

Regards:rolleyes:

I'm cdma, don't have data++ still getting wifi error.

Well, I have been running this rom on a CDMA device for a few days, and found a few issues.

First being the same no wifi as everyone else. This isn't too much of an issue since I only really use the wifi at work. I would love to be able to use it again, but for the time I will deal with out it.

Second issue that I have noticed is that I keep getting what seemed like random re-boots. I have since noted that the only time my phone re-boots is when I have been using it for a while and then turn the screen off using the power/lock button. I don't know if it is just a bad flash or if there is something wrong with the rom itself. I haven't noticed anyone else posting about the issue, so I am thinking it is just me.

Third is that I can't seem to get my screen to rotate for use in the landscape position for texting or in certain apps that I have been fine with while using CM7. Under "quick settings" I have auto rotation ON, but it seems that nothing I do gets it to turn.

Forth thing that has come up is that the battery life seems to be quite a bit worse than previous roms. I have gone from a full charge to 64% left in an hour of intermittent use, (internet browsing, facebook, checking calendar), nothing that should have used more than, at most, 15%. I am not sure if that is due to the sense apps such as friendstream that I am not used to having running.

The fifth issue that I am having is with connecting my phone to my computer. After flashing the rom I formatted and partitioned my SD card. After that was done I connected my phone to my computer to transfer my memory card contents back onto it so I would have my pictures, music and other random files that I have saved for use but after about five minutes of transfer I would get an error that said device not ready. It seems like after a few minutes the phone would disconnect itself and I would have to try to start again. At first I thought there was something wrong with my cable, so I used an adapter to plug the memory card directly into my computer and it would just say that the card needed to be formatted.

The final thing that I have noticed is that when I use the footprints app and try to add a new "footprint" it says "No system storage." I am not sure if that is part of the issue with the SD card or if there is some other bug in the system.

I'm sorry for such a long response, but hopefully it will help with the fixing of the issues that are there so the few of us CDMA user have more options in the future of roms.

If there is anything else that I can do to help along the process please let me know, and THANK YOU for all of your hard work making this possible.

I installed this ROM on my BravoC and found that I only have around 50mb of internal memory left and no matter what ROM I put on my phone, I still only have about 50mb of internal storage left. Can anybody help me, please?

If you looked closer at what he said about any rom. How would that help him? :p If I understood right, his partitions are messed up. As to how I am not sure but apps2sd won't help him in his case.

Edit: Actually this rom should have never changed his partition sizes so I don't know what he did. How ever coolexe I don't know if you forgot the person that did the kernel but the cdma version of this has bananacakes gingercakes v7c in it. Which leads me to this question how did you get the gsm kernel fully working on cdma?

All I did was update to ClockworkMod 5 and boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe dalvik, and then flashed the ROM.

Where did you get the info to upgrade clockworkmod? As the guide I wrote should have big pretty red letters to not upgrade clockworkmod with cmtd installed as it screws up numerous things.

If you said that from the get go we could have told you what it was :p You have to flash the remover for cmtd. Reboot to recovery and install a rom with out cmtd. Then redo clockworkmod. If that doesn't fix it run a ruu..

That should fix it all up. As I said though make a thread as the more I thought about it. I figured that was what happened.

Coolexe if you need any debugging done on cdma pm me and I will give you a hand.

re: partitions?

Jake, I understand you are just wanting to fix your phone, but I suggest u go to 2fast's forum if you need to sort this out. They are specialized in cdma desire and tshooting.
I am interested in the development of this rom, especially the cdma one and the new features.

    ok, so I'm sharing a personal version of this ROM, because I suspect it may be of interest to others.

    this is basically the very same CoolDroid v3, but with int2sd instead of a2sd. That means you can get around 320 MB of internal DATA for your apps' data (and a 1-2 GB of SDEXT for your apk, etc). This DATA partition is typically faster for writing data than your SD-EXT

    In the process, I cleaned up some outdated (Google) apps, and updated a few init.d scripts (e.g. logging to help me debug)

    I'm assuming coolexe has no objections to derivative work, per this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30812195#post30812195

    REQUIRED:
    - gsm Desire (no CDMA!)
    - fat32 + ext4 partition on sdcard (recommended: partition with GParted Linux or 4EXT recovery)
    (I have 1.3 GB - you need around 100-150 MB for the ROM, the rest is used by your downloaded apps (APK) & dalvik)
    - any hboot with minimum 115 MB /system and 3 MB /cache (I made one with custom hboot patcher by Thalamus, 120/5/315 MB)
    http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.gr/2011/07/custom-hbootsupdate.html.


    INSTRUCTIONS
    - read Coolexe's post#1 carefully
    - make nandroid, Titanium, ... backups - and only proceed if you know what you're doing.
    - ideally wipe /data /cache /system and /sd-ext
    - don't ask me if wipe is necessary, I don't know - have not tested.
    - flash ROM from recovery
    - reboot
    - let the ROM settle a bit (wait 5-10 minutes after you get the 'type SIM unlock code' dialog)
    - later... flash separate theme zip. To revert to original, flash ROM (no wipe) - ps: switching theme's repeatedly is EXPERIMENTAL
    edit 2013-01-01: you MUST reboot between ROM install and (optional) theme install. If you want the complete 'fresh' theme experience, you can delete the HTC Rosie data from Settings. If you don't you need at least to set the wallpaper manually after switching theme.
    edit 2013-05-09: you MUST also install the low-volume fix attached to post #1141, posted 2013-01-02


    WHY?
    I'm currently exploring a few ROM options - that will keep my Desire happy for another (3rd) year.

    I have quite a lot of apps, and for the last 2 years was using A2SD, but even then my /data was getting full with app data.
    Long story short, I'm now a fan of ROM/hboot/int2sd solutions that
    - put as much as reasonably possible (all apk, dalvik, sometimes framework or wallpaper/ringtones) on sd-ext
    - minimize the /system partition, maximize /data, and don't use /cache

    I'm currently on Alex-V's HD Sense 2.1/3.0 mix which has a int2sd version made by Proz0r. Combined with SuperChargerV6 script (balanced setting), it's not bad, not bad at all. Just sometimes a bit laggy, not all the time, but always when I'm in a hurry ;)

    I heard good things about this ROM by coolexe, but I noticed it only has A2SD. So I studied scripts by Proz0r (for Alex-V ROM) and by croniccorey (generic). I applied a mix of those scripts to CoolDroid v3, and decided to share the result.


    USE of STORAGE BY THIS ROM
    Ok, this may be confusing but when the ROM is loaded, /data is your SD, and /sd-ext is your internal memory!!! Plus, a few select directories bind mounts which point into other partitions/mounts

    (0) /sd-ext mount refers actually your USERDATA partion
    (1) /data mount is actually your sd-ext partition => you see 1-2 GB in Settings > Manage Applications
    (2) /data/data is a bind mount to your internal userdata partition => you see ~300MB under Settings > Storage
    (3) /system/app is a bind-mount to sd-ext/app_s
    (4) dalvik sits in sd-ext ( symlink /cache/dalvik-cache -> /data/dalvik-cache )
    (5) market temporary download files sit in sd-ext ( symlink /cache/download -> /data/download )

    again, none of this is original, it's just a rehash of other scripts.


    WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM coolexe's ROM
    - installation package
    -- removed cdma
    -- moved themes to separate zips
    -- moved things around to fit int2sd storage layout
    - installation script
    -- work without prompt, without "touch-recovery pre-requisite"
    -- many changes to support new storage layout
    - remove /system/app: com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk, com.htc.StockWidget.apk, com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk (I don't use them)
    - remove /system/app: HtcCalculatorWidget.apk, HtcFootprintsWidget.apk, teeter.apk (I don't use them)
    - removed /system/app: DSPManager.apk (in Alex-V ROM I had poor results with it, and used VolumePlus; I have not really tested it on CoolDroid).
    - added /system/app/Widgetsoid.apk (I use it... and it needs to be system app to be able to toggle mobile data)
    - /data/app: update adfree
    - /data/app: add TitaniumBackup (free)
    - /data/app: remove gmail, maps-ownhere, street (get them from market, it's easier)
    - /data/data/hosts updated
    - init.d: replaced a2sd by int2ext4plus (own script / adapt from prox0r and croniccorey)
    - init.d: various minor changes to the other scripts. All of these are logging to /cache (keeping 3 rotated copies of logs)
    - removed around 7-10mb of wallpapers in /system


    THOUGHTS
    - It would probably work well enough to also move /system/framework to sd-ext. That would free up another 27M from /system which would be usable by userdata


    edit: If you installed this, you should also install the patch attached to post #1141 (page 115) to correct low-volume problems.

    Hi,

    sorry for no reply..due to OneX and Evo3D developing...:eek:

    but in this weekend i will update it...

    There is no on/off switch. But you can do the following to revert to normal sound level.

    Remove the following:

    AudioEffectService.apk in system/app
    semc_audioeffectif.jar in system/framework
    libxloudwrapper.so in system/lib/soundfx
    com.sonyericsson.audioeffectif.xml in system/etc/permissions

    Remove the lines in build.prop but not necessary

    # Xloud Engine Service
    ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled=true
    ro.semc.xloud.supported=true
    persist.service.xloud.enable=1

    Hi,

    thx bro. i forget to mention how to remove Xloud Engine...hehhhe

    i'm out of home town...but now i'm back...so let start developing...
