Yes, you can flash the zip on any other kk rom for HTC Desire. Don't forget to make a backup first.
It's as fast as you can get on kitkat.
You should give it a try. Don't forget, Settings Developer > animation scale to .25x.

I could not do the upgrade from version 06 to version 075.
System hangs on the HTC logo.
.
Installing a fresh version of the 075 runs correctly, but not the point.

Sure!!
I wiped everything twice!!
As I said sometimes it happens, like once in two days!!
You saying you never had this problem?!
I get the same issue with v0.7 + 0.5 kernel. Seems like cpu high setting keeps reseting back 175 MHz no matter what I set it to. I've reverted back to v0.6 which works fairly well.
Good to know. I will try to remove 175MHz in the next kernel version. You could also flash v0.75 instead of going back as it has a kernel with default frequency table.

I'll give v0.75 a go.
In v0.6 it takes several seconds for the dialer window to show once you press the call button in the phone app. The same when you get a call, no matter if you're using the phone or it's locked. Is this expected behavior?
v0.75 was no success for me. I saw these 2 major issues before reverting back to v0.6:
- wifi not working. It activates and shows available networks. Connection seems to work looking at status message, but no wifi icon will show in status bar and mobile data is always active.
- spontaneous reboots. Both before I managed to activate a2sd and after.
Of course I've checked md5sum of the download and performed a full wipe.

Strange. I cannot reproduce it. Anyone else having this?

Finally
I'm running v0.75 now. So far so good. Can't really say it's snappier than v0.6 with 0.5 kernel. Still same long delay before I get dial window up after pressing call or when receiving calls.Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Free mobile app
- here its different. Either Wifi activates and works without problems or it doesn't activate at all. Then it just says it is activating but never does. No networks show up. Seems like only wiping dalvik fixes this. I had the same problem on the Beanstalk ROM, one of the reasons I was giving this one a try now...
- installed the ROM yesterday and had one reboot today, resulting in above issue.
Apart from that, this ROM seems quite nice. Short boot time and doesnt feel slower than the latest Beanstalk. :good:
EDIT: also sending SMS seems not to work. when I click on send, the message just disappears and thats it
EDIT2: when I activate mobile internet it doesnt work. connection icon in quicktiles is orange (bad connection) and once in a while the SIM pin code requester pops up
Last edited:
I double checked them before, APN is how it should be. Might have been wrong before, but still that shouldnt crash the SIM so I have to reenter my PIN . Got the same problem on latest Beanstalk too...
EDIT: ok never mind, the AP was right but internet wasnt activated at the provider m(

Disclaimer:
Please be aware this is an unofficial release.
If you rely on your device as it is your only phone you should thoroughly consider the risks involved when flashing a custom ROM (e.g. total loss of your data!).
If you decide for flashing this rom, then you do it at your own risk and I am not responsible for any resulting damages!
I don't claim responsibility for the code in this ROM, I have only built the ROM for this device.
Credits go to:
- The original creators of this ROM and its features mentioned above: CarbonDev, CM, SlimTeam, Team PA, Team AOKP, and companions.
- @LaidbackNikez and Evervolv - for developing the qsd8k kernel that powers this ROM, as well as htc vendor files and bravo device tree
- @parkedraccoon for allowing me to use his Trackball wake code and his readiness to help me with solving build problems
- @ths@justremotephone.com for stabilizing Kernel 3.0.16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day!
P.S.: You may want to compile it yourself:

3) Added a patch by CM to prevent wakelocks caused by Google Play Services 7.x SystemUpdateService

* Increase ui responsiveness (credits CM)
