atm, my attention is rivetted on TheGanymedes's Linux on Android project and the Sense kernel. I'm trying to fix a bug in the Sense kernel which causes operating the camera to cause random kernel panic. I'll take a look at ics when I have more free time. Chaos z seems to be a doing a great job so far, as far as I can see.

Had a peek, but it's really hard to collaborate on something without comments on what exactly others are trying to fix.. which means some kind of commit tracking system/description. I'll have to give this a miss for now.

I flashed Supernova about 2 months ago and everything works fine. I have never flashed any newer kernels or radios or anything else, just the 2.4.0.0 version of Supernova. I found out that the ROM has a small defect that I used to have with official HTC 2.3.3. Occasionally when I press Home button the ROM reboots. Is there any solution for that issue? Can somebody help?

It's integrated into the Latest Getlogsinteractive script.

https://www.box.net/shared/j8y588p17z6ibepuokxz

To increase cache size, open Script manager app, choose to run this file as root (the icon with skull and bone). In the optional arguments box, type in: cacheboost

Note that the changes persist only until you reboot the phone

Desire SD

My wondering around hasn't finished and brought some new insights.

First I have tested my bi-colour SD to check it and it seems all right. It has a write speed of 6Mb ... which makes it more a class 6 than 10 but not defective.

Then I followed DZ advice and tried Alex ROM (with Data2SD) but it was an utter failure. Bootloop. I haven't even tried to fix it (procedure seemed to easy to fail).
Went to CM7 + S2E, random freeze.

Eventually I swapped back the original Desire Card (a SanDisk Class 2 4Gb) and back to SuperNova. Some random freezes ... non often, but some. This was not happening a couple of months ago. Went for CM7 stock Boot (no Data++) only A2SD+ and again a couple of freeze. But what have I noticed (even with the other card) is that during normal run at times I get an error like the SD card is not there any more (including the FAT partition).
This happens with both cards (original and bi-colour) and with both ROMS. Of course when there is nothing running from sd-ext (or sd-card) I just loose the ability to access the files, when something is running from there (Data2SD) the phone freeze up.
It's difficult to judge afterwards but the impression is that it got worse after S-OFF. Than I realised that maybe it could be not the cards, not the configuration but the phone aging and starting to become defective. Would it make sense?

After a full day trying CM7 I have to say that is fast ... but honestly SuperNova is very close. I remember it only being slower at boot (stabilisation) but after that the difference, if any, is slightly perceptible.

"error like the SD card is not there any more" anything more specific?

Could be, maybe you should try rooted stock rom, and see if even that works?
(or maybe even offcial HTC RUU)

Thanks

This post is just by way of a word of thanks to droidzone! I've sent you a very small donation (popkid...), sorry it is not more, you've transformed my phone!

I love my HTC Desire, but for 18 months the one thing that has tainted my love has been the cursing of the lack of storage space available, I have constantly been having to remove apps to install others, really frustrating especially when e.g. kindle app updated I had to remove as it wouldn't fit any more, I have never been able to run up to date flash version because it used too much space, any Stock Desire owner will recognise the story!

My phone was almost due for upgrade with network so I took the plunge and Rooted (I'm still S-ON) and Installed Supernova on New Years day, not flashed any other ROMS on android before or since (though I'd flashed a few back in WinMo6 days on my touchdiamond2), Supernova looked like exactly what I was after for my Desire, just like stock but with space to install stuff! The procedure was easy to follow for a relatively novice user, and the phone was transformed, I went a bit mad in first couple of days and installed dozens of apps just for the sake of it! I've since settled back into "normal use" but safe in the knowledge I can install apps when I need them!

Couple of notes, I did notice it became super laggy (30s waits at times, almost unusable) and sluggish after a couple of weeks, and on a couple of occasions the battery seemed to drop from about 25% - 0% almost instantly. No permanent corruption or bootloops luckily, I nandroid backed up, then reformatted card and restored backup and that seems to have fixed it, no big issues at all since (2 weeks ago), I'd say it is still overall slightly slower than stock though, not enough to be a big problem tbh, definitely worth the compromise for the practically unlimited app space, I'm using my old class4 card currently, but have a class6 transcend on order to see if it is even better.

Conclusion to this is that I've one month of my contract left now, but my Desire is so good with your ROM, I'm not going to bother upgrading it, just go to a sim only deal until it dies (or some "must have" new phone turns up :rolleyes:). Be assured that If I'm still running your ROM in 3 months time I'll donate again, and once again, Thanks!

@popkid, Thank you for the donation. But your words are more gratifying than any donation can be. :) When Sibere first introduced his data2sd code, we had the distinction that only people who'd be considered nerds would go into his thread and try it out. I was (believe it it not), a novice myself at the time, and while trying out his code, found a couple of typos which I was too scared to point out to him. ;) Anyway, while applying his code, I was struck by how radically it transformed our phone from a hardly usable one, to one as good/better than any other newer model out there, in terms of storage. I thought this needn't be confined to the command line and hence was born, first my flashable zips, then Starburst and Supernova.

Over the months, there have been innumerable hours spent fixing the roms, providing information on the site etc. But when someone tells me that they weren't rooted earlier, but have now done so and found the ROM install easy and our work useful, I regard it a job well done. Yes, there are radical differences in speed on this ROM when you have different cards, so I hope it gets better for you with your new one.

Thank you.

Hmmm.. It certainly seems like your board may be getting old (possibly with some contact issues). Normally the card should never get undetected during normal operation. When it does, it's usually a symptom of card failure. But in this case, since you've tried two, and one of them a new one, I think we can safely pinpoint it on the board component. Would it be possible to have the service centre look it over? Hoping that you can document this with a stock rom. Take a video of it when it happens. And get it back to HTC. I recently had the phone replaced even after 5 months of expiry of the warranty, but I'm a tough customer. ;)

You are right. I didn't write them verbatim since I don't know the exact English version of them and they vary ROM to ROM.

But facts (as in not suppositions) are the following.
CM7 - SD Card is empty
CM7 - Fixing errors in SD cards (forever)
Other roms - Your card has been unexpected disconnected (or something similar)

Suppositions
Supernova freeze because of that.

Of course I have no proof that is the allegedly missing SD Card but in the past the ROM was so smooth and faultless.

Add to that another quirk that seldom happens. The screen is gone. I mean press the power button and the phone goes idle. Press it again the lights on the keyboard come back but the screen doesn't. And those lights toggle with the power button just the screen stays black. Weird. The phone logic aging / board contacts could be a possible explanation.

Yes it could be. My Desire is just almost 2 years old (that's when the warranty will expire). First I am going to have a thorough test of the SD Cards. I have tried them with the SD Test app (with no errors) but I'll also use the PC. Apparently I have to boot in Windows to find some extensive testing software. If both cards are fine I will try a rooted stock rom and then a normal stock rom (which I suppose should let me loose the S-OFF and the root in case I need to service it).

Both of the SD cads have been re-formatted/partitioned with gParted 0.8.1 (on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) so I was confident that was OK. 4ext recovery gives me aligned partitions and filesystem ok (on the ext4, the fat is often with errors but that's because of the freezes). I could try to partition the card with the recovery to see if it is any better....

Couldn't agree more. SuperNova is by far the best ROM I have ever had on my Desire and I couldn't recommend it more. Easiest one to install. Smooth to run. Unlimited memory. And frankly now that I am trying to stick to CM7 for few days .... I realise how cool is Sense ....

Happy that you enjoy the extra space with Data2SD!!
This space is what we should have had since the beginning if HTC wasn't so greedy :D

I'm sure that you'll see and feel the difference with the Transcend C6 card.
I luckily choose this one from the start and I never got disappointed. It's fast and reliable (I'm getting 10Mb/s writing speed).

OK,

I'll think that if you test sd-cards in a reader with testing software and they are fine, it's very likely that your phone is broken.

Flashing stock HTC rom from RUU is recommended before sending phone to service :)

    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!

    25. Last but most important, Donors and XDA users for encouraging me! :)
    26. Anyone whose names I've inadvertently forgotten (Kindly inform me!)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Click to collapse

    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 :) )

    How to create an adb logcat: Guide


    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.

    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?
