I first installed it via restore with titanium.. was unstable.. so i have done complete refresh of the rom and installed with latest xposed framework but now i get this problem with both gravitybox and xblast :(

Hey yeahman,
Do you use m2sd or a2sd? M2sd is not compatible with xposed.

a2sd is not working for me - just used the installation guide and now finding out, there seems to be a problem. I only can move some apps to SD, but not the a2sd way I saw at the Desire Carbon ROM.

I have installed it and it works fine but when I look into the settings and find Performance section, it is not there. I now can't adjust my kernel governors. Any solutions?

Use No-frills CPU Control from play store.

After my first day usage of this ROM, I am still happy with almost everything - but Bluetooth connectivity was really bad. I'll keep trying, but for now I faced the following issues:
  • Music is pausing just for a very short time, I say it could be about 100 ms and then it fades in when starting playing again.
  • Music is skipping also a similar short time, but no fade in here.
  • Device lost Bluetooth connection to the car twice within half an hour. The car still stated a connection to the device, but music was playing only through the device. Even switching off Bluetooth on the device did not clear the connection at the car, it kept showing a connected device. I solved it this way: First connection loss, I just switched engine off and back on again, worked and reconnected quite fast. Second connection loss, I deleted this device from the Bluetooth device list at the car and reconnected/paired it, worked but took some time.

@spezi77 thanks, will try the brightened Gapps package. I want to stay here on OmniROM, will report issues I can find, but HTC Bravo is "only" my media player in the car, not a daily driver smartphone. :cool:


I have to say, the issues still exist and I even once got an error like Bluetooth share process stopped ... something like this.

But today I wanted to check the BT connection with the S3 LTE, also Omni ROM. Well, same story there. Losing connection :(
It's another problem obviously, maybe general in Omni, maybe general at both devices in combination with Omni... no idea.

Hey man,
This can be caused by the ROM or by the app. Who knows. A logcat can give you a first sign.

Alternatively try wiping dalvik + cache which is a remedy for such issues.

I can't get this to boot for the life of me. Just hangs at the splash screen. No problem with other 4.x roms. Any ideas?

1. Make a md5sum on your data carrier and compare with the value on the first page of the thread or extract correctly all of the zip file
2. Check the partitions on the SD card
3. Use only TWRP 2.7.0.0
4. Before installing perform Factory reset
5. Do not install gapps before the first launch Android

Must operate. Good luck.

Greetings to all OmniROM geeks!
Today we are leapfrogging to Android 4.4.4! This is the first custom rom for HTC Desire based on the brand new KTU84P release.
Therein Google addresses some OpenSSL items.

Have a nice day!
:cool:

Perfect! My Desire is waiting in the car, will get it hopefully tomorrow if I don't forget.

Thanks for your effort, will report about my experience. Let's see, what's up now with the Bluetooth connection :D

EDIT:
After installing I cannot find a console app, cannot "su a2sd install" or do I miss something?

    I am proud to present you with a lean AOSP based ROM.




    omnirom-374x450m3k41.png




    Omni is a community-based project for the Android community which is Free: Free to Use, Free to Modify, Free to Share. It's also about options, which is the beauty of Android.




    Code:
    #include 
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
     */

    What's new in release 5:
    - Sync with omnirom repo (2014/07/19)
    - Fixed "Got stuck at boot/splash screen" by
    - using a new kernel version ("Utopian") which:
    -- is closer again to the Evervolv kernel

    - Fixed 'long press home key' to bring up the recent apps

    - Baked in chainfire's SuperSU v2.01 (no more extra flashing required)

    -- BFS (Brain F*ck Scheduler)
    -- HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling; dynamically changes the phones voltage; should use up less battery)
    -- Lots of different CPU governors (Lazy [thanks @Ezekeel], Lagfree, SmartassH3, SmartassV2, InteractiveX, etc.)
    -- Default CPU gov is SmartassH3 which is said to offer a great balance between performance and battery life

    CURRENTLY NOT WORKING:
    ==============================

    • Video recording (currently present in all 4.x ROMs for HTC Desire; Just use Videocam Illusion (audio quality at 44.1KHz!))
    • Screen recording (writes zero KB file)
    • OpenVPN (kernel issue: cannot acquire tun interface socket)
    • SELinux (disabled by intention)

    ART support:
    The most recent release also includes ART. Please be warned that ART is still considered to be an "experimental mode". Only few apps support it. ART is currently not tested by me and may lead to crashes or even to data loss. Please enable ART only if you know what you are doing and why you are doing this.

    Todo list:
    ==============================
    • Add Trackball wake option
    • Investigate why hardware keys are not illuminated when you push them

    Sources:
    =================
    ROM: http://github.com/omnirom
    Manifest: https://github.com/spezi77/omnirom
    Kernel: https://github.com/spezi77/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k/tree/utopian

    You may want to compile it yourself:
    =============================
    To initialize your local repository use this command:
    Code:
    repo init -u git://github.com/spezi77/omnirom.git -b android-4.4
    Then to sync up:
    Code:
    repo sync
    Then to build:
    Code:
     cd into repo folder; . build/envsetup.sh; brunch bravo


    Special thanks:
    =================

    • Croniccorey "for EternityKernel"

    Thanks Spezi77 for this awesome ROM that I couldn't think of changing since you created this thread!
    Great battery performance! I dare say, the best among kitkat roms for desire!

    This has been my fav one while my desire was still my active device. And now, it is time to retire my best phone and move on...
    I'll still roam around this forum to check out cool stuff happening here, and hopefully contribute some more...

    Check out the new version available with lots of improvements (see post #1).
