[DL Desire v4.31.44.12][Sense RE-Engineering] Highlights

1. Sense Re-Engineering

Recompiled all the apps and framework for lowest RAM consuming and highest performance

2. Merged DesireZ and DesireHD

mixed the advantage features from both DesireZ and DesireHD into one build.

3. RAM fs

after testing for a week, come into one best way to utilize the RAMfs, by default, one 16M RAMfs will be created for app and market cache.
once set to ram_data=1, additional 1 RAMfs will be created for most accessed dalvik cache.

4. totally re-write the SuperInit

fixed a lot of bugs inside and optimize it again, once set ram_data=1, the boot time should be within 1min, in next version, the boot time will be reduced again.

5. added a lot of usable functions into SuperInit

- extend the backup/restore to be able to backup &restore to different build.s
- added more repair_mode, to be able to repair the nand system and reset the system.

6. use own kernel

freak kernel v1.2 to perfect fit our builds. Source: http://www.linux4freak.com/gitweb
hence, 2 parameters were added to best control the kernel
vdd_mode= xxx //for under/over volting cpu, [-150,-125,-100,-75,-50,-25,+25,+50]
sched_mode= xxx // "cfq" or "bfq"

And of course, thanks for people who ever helped me, encouraged me, donated to me!!!

New features for superinit v4.4

Buildin with IMG/EXT4/RAM support
--- by default will create a 16M RAMfs and use it as app_cache and cache.
--- once set the ram_data=1, will move the dalvik-cache of framwork into RAM
--- to roll back to normal status, use the ram_data=11
-- Optimize the nand_data, which will also be able to move the dalvik-cache of framwork into Nand.
-- add new backup_img=2 to back apps from data, which is used for changing the build, the backup_img=1 will back up the whole data, once restore to a new base, will incur the UID inconsistent issue. should use restore_img=2 to restore.
-- add more function for repair_mode
-- repair_mode=1 will rescue the data partition.
-- repair_mode=2 can use the MAGLDR load system to repair the Nand system and mount the Nand system to /mnt/rescue
-- repair_mode=3 will reset the system, all the modified app, framework, lib, fonts that caused the issue will be removed, system will be reset to the origin without losing data and settings.

-- Auto detect the phone modal(EU or TMOUS)
--- for EU modal, will auto enable the data.img if the 2nd partition can not be found.
--- for TMOUS, if doesn't have 2nd partition and set the data_img=1, will auto bypass all the relative code to reduce the boot time.

-- Auto detect the boot mode (SD/MAGLDR/NAND)
--- auto select the best configuration for each boot mode

-- Auto partitioning the SDCard if set the format_ext4=9
-- Fixed a lot of bugs in previous version.

-- to best control kernel, added
vdd_mode= xxx //for under/over volting cpu, [-150,-125,-100,-75,-50,-25,+25,+50]
sched_mode= xxx // "cfq" or "bfq

How to install

For Nand:

just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL(for upgrade) folder from the package to the root of your SDCard, flash.

change the config.txt.nand to config.txt and modify the config in it.

For SD/MAGLDR:

just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL(for upgrade) folder from the package to the root of your SDCard, answer yes when ask for overwrite.
change the config.txt.sd to config.txt and modify the config in it. (Nand)
or change the config.txt.magldr to config.txt and modify the config in it. (Magldr)

If you encounter mobile data issue, please check here

Notes :

The first boot will take a very long time, especially for SD/MAGLDR due to system will convert the system.img to system.ext2, need 10-20 mins depends on the speed of your SDCard.

After the install, please reboot your system at lease twice to let the system settle down.

How to upgrade or change kernel or customize the system

1. more kernel can be found here,

--a. For Nand, just extract the Update_DL folder to the root of your sdcard, boot twice.

--b. For SD, extract the Update_DL folder to the root of your sdcard, and copy the zImage file from /Update_DL/update/kernel_files to Desire_DL, boot.

--c. You can also use the same kernel package, but replace the kernel file with your own under /Update_DL/update/kernel_files. (for SD/Magldr version, the zImage file should be put under Desire_DL)

2. for system upgrade or bugfix, extract the Update_DL folder from a update package to the root of your sdcard, reboot.

3. if you intend to replace any file from the system, use rootexplorer to delete the target file first, then put the file to /Update_DL/root/system..., e.g, if you want to change the framework.res, just delete the origin file from /system/framework, then, put your own file under /Update_DL/root/system/framework, boot.

How to load from MAGLDR

1. Press the power button during reboot

2. Select "Services" from MAGLDR menu

3. Select BootSettings

4. Select AD SD Dir

5. Choose the Desire~1

6. Back to the Boot from AD SD.

Changelog+features

Code:

[B][SIZE=3]v1.4.45.14 ARA[/SIZE][/B]
 
-- Battery percentage and more.
-- dynamic RAM (big thanks freak and Jim)
-- more optimization.
 
[SIZE=3][B]Features:[B][SIZE=3]v1.4.45.14 ARA[/SIZE][/B][/B]
[/SIZE]use a new RAM optimization method which is based on Jim's idea, 
and freak successfully made it work. 
This method uses another file system on top of squashFS to gain dynamic ram cache to improve the performance,
which is totally different with the previous ram_data mode 1, 
that uses a static RAM allocation. 
 
 
 
 
[B][SIZE=3]8/3/2011 Dl Desire reengineering (v4.31/4.32)[/SIZE][/B]
 
- bugfixes initrd
- bugfixes init, removed some debug info
- modified vdd_mode: now, if the value for undervolting is "more" than -50, only frequency below 576000 are reduced by this value, others only -50.

cautation :

1. this dynamic RAM build can only work on freak kernel v1.3d or later.
2. can not set ram_data=1 which will worsen the overall performance.
3. normally, the build can work out of the box without any config.

Thanks and ragards

THANKS!!!

Already much better, but do we need some screen capture here?

btw, to celebrate this big change of my web page, I will release v4.1 here in a while.

thanks again, I like teamwork.

no, no, it's just for us to test the new page, after finish, I will copy this to my thread.

Can I post my ideas here in this thread?

hrockh · Feb 21, 2011

few notes for the first post.
what it's confusing it's the fact that you keep fixes and notes for older version..
well, for me, those are completely useless
new releases are there for solving bugs and problems of the old version
got a problem with 3.x?? update to 4.x. job done.
also some people could install old fixes them on the newer version, causing only problems

same story for the videos: they were great to show the build.
but as 4.x introduces a lots of improvements, the videos may not reflect the reality

WIP for second post:
now I need to do the links

let me know if you want something else.

Upgrade from DL 3.5 to 4.1?

Hi

Thanks for this amazing site and all the support and in particular this version of android

Maybe a stupid question but is it possible to upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1 or do i have to backup and start again for 4.1?

Cheers and TIA!

5. DL DesireZ v4.1, updated (21/2/2011) download link (here )
screen shots (here)

changes:
1. fix all the bugs
2. update new drivers.
3. change the kernel back to gpc.
4. add power notification and battery percentage, and more.
5. tune the system performance once again.

WOW!!!
once again with gpc kernel!!!
I love it...that way I didn't updated from 3.4 till now.....

according to me it's the best kernel for the phone...also if sometime 3g and wifi data doesn't start to connect.....however I can't wait for testing it!

Greetings to all!
At attempt to change framework has caught cyclic reboot for ever.
Did all as it is recommended: has removed through rootexplorer framework.apk and has tried to insert new through Update_DL.
Has not worked. For me.

hmm, the 1.85 framework is not compatible with old version, you can use this http://uot.dakra.lt/ to do it from the original framework.res.
