Sorry for being a noob but i did not understand how to make the phone more responsive. I have the EU version (512MB) and i am doing a clean install.

a) How much memory sould i have after instalation
b) The SD is partitioned to 1024 ans 0MB swap (is that correct)? Is it bettr not to have it in my phone during instalation?

It is a great ROM but this slugginess in really annoying....
Any suggestions

Did you flash v1.4?
The slowness of v1.4 (and v1.3) is due to its default setting that redirect /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/data to the ext partition of the microsd card.
You can try to solve this "issue" in two ways (as always, remember to make a backup of your important stuff before proceeding):

1. use the data2NAND.cmd script from the "extras" folder you can find in the package of v1.4 (this will move /data/data on nand and "restore" the speed of the rom);
2. make a clean install of v1.2, restore you apps and settings and then upgrade to v1.3.

Both ways should be equivalent...the second beeing the simplest. ;)

Hi,

It is very special to me to be here after so long time using a TD2 device.

I am now a new hd2 owner and with a lot of douts and fear because i do not want to break my new toy :)

The device came with android nand and i believe with cotula DFT release.

Now i want to flash the 1.3 version of this rom and i need your help to do it right.

The device have HSPL208 and MAGLDR 1.13

Do you guys think it is enough to follow the clean installation info in first post??

Or do i need to do anything special??

Thank you guys and i'm really excited about this :)

Up to second day no

I have a very good sense about which roms will work great and last longer with me, i'm interested in long lasting roms suitable for daily use...This one up till now i noticed that for the battery issue (Most important to me) it's the best,

Pluss all the goodies you will find next to using android Sense for HD2,

Thanks

Been using this ROM for quite a white.

It is very fast and stable :) im on version 1.2 because had problems with 1.4 (being slow and market problems)

Battery life is average though - I had better on Incredible S by imilka (but this one was laggy compared to clean desire)

Would like someone to develop clean desire ROM's further, with better battery if possible.

ps. dzieki za ciezka prace :)

What shell I do to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Dear Shink,

Is it possible to make a similar release based on the arabic supporting rom:
HTC RUU Bravo ARA 2.32.415.3

I've tried to do it myself but unfortunately I did not succeed :(
There are other folks who did but their versions still have different problems & not clean as yours.

The only difference between this release & yours is that it supports Arabic with the other languages.

Arabic is a little bit complicated & adding the files you have attached in the 1st post will only solve some issues but not as the original release.

I hope that you have time & do not mind to help us here.

Thanks in advance.

I think im having troubles with my Radio, when i go to connect to the internet via my settings i would get connection errors or it just wouldnt connect, i can connect to my WIFI without any issues what so ever but when im out and about i need it to work via 3G.

So im currently using the latest Radio which is in the bottom on my SIG (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14), i want to down grade the version im wondering what the next best version would be for this release?

Anyone using a different version without any issues, if so what version?

Thanks.

Also if you think it might not be my Radio and something else please let me know, thanks.

I recommend Version 1.2, later versions are not that stable anymore.
But skinks is still the most stable sense rom out there.

P.S. If you want to use a tytung kernel use kernel_tytung_r8.1_update.zip
newer kernels and "oldcam" wont work.

This kernel also removes the unlock-lag.

P.P.S. If you want the advanced (shaped ) percented battery use this:

    skink Clean Desire v1.4
    based on prj Clean Desire v0.3.2

    I've made this build based on great prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 build. It has the same features + I’ve added things that I was missing the most:

    • Clockwork Mod 1.3
    • Apps2SD+
    • Evo keyboard
    • Reboot option in shutdown menu
    • Notification Menu Power Control Widgets
    • Un-squashfsed, oxed system app and framework
    • ROM is rooted (SU app + SU binaries)
    • Percentage display on battery
    • Fast and low battery drain
    Now you don’t have to worry about decreasing internal storage when you install more application. You don’t also lose access to application when you phone is connected in drive mode to computer, because application data is being hold on ext3 partition on SD card. That partition isn’t mounted when your phone is connected to computer. The things that are redirected to this partition are: /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/data.

    Requirements:
    • MAGLDR v1.13
    • ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 (included with package)

    Changelog:
    v1.4
    • fixed missing APN's and hopefully data connection drop
    • hopefully fixed low call volume

    v1.3
    • added Notification Menu Power Control Widgets (based on JsChiSurf and mendozinas work; see screenshots; thanks to mini_robot; you can customize this widgets using notification.widgets_signed.zip addon)
    • hopefully fixed high call volume (thanks to athulag and oyvpet)
    • added option to install without SD card
    • now by default after clean installing /data/data folder also will be moved to SD card (you will have more free internal storage; if you'd like to have /data/data on NAND use data2NAND.cmd script from "extras" folder)

    v1.2
    • fixed Angry Birds issue:) (fixed problem with installing big apps; it needs repartition of NAND; see upgrade info)

    v1.1
    • Supports AD Recovery in MAGLDR (now you have access to ClockworkMod Recovery from NAND partition)
    • added Evo keyboard as default
    • added reboot option (normal and hot restart, based on snq- mod) to shutdown menu (see screenshots)
    • for those who would like to customize their themes I’ve added an optional skink_Clean_Desire_v1.1_update_deodex_signed.zip deodexed package (see addons)

    v1.0 initial release
    • based on prj Clean Desire v0.3.2
    • basically clean Desire build
    • removed: Maps, Youtube, GMail, Flash Player, Facebook (these was old version; install what you need using Market)
    • un-squashfsed, oxed system app and framework
    • ROM is rooted (SU app + SU binaries)
    • percentage display on battery
    • no 60ma drain after call
    • Wifi mac individual for every device
    • Smartass governor by default
    • G-Sensor freeze fixed
    • low volume in-call fixed

    • skink_Clean_Desire_v1.1_update_deodex_signed.zip 11-02-2011 - for those who would like to customize their themes

    For version 1.0:


    Supported themes:
    If you’re looking for custom themes you can check http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=630 forum, where you can find lots of modifications. Not all will work but you can try (always make CWM backup before). Main reason why it’s not working is old type of META-INF\com\google\android\update-script in update.zip. You have to convert it to updater-script. Please post here any working theme and I’ll update list.

    How to install custom theme:
    1. Power on phone holding power button to access to MAGLDR menu.
    2. Select the "AD Recovery" item.
    3. Select the "backup and restore->Backup" item.
    4. After backup will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
    5. Using USB cable connection or SD card reader copy downloaded custom theme zip to root folder of SD card.
    6. Clean /data/dalvik-cache folder (use "rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*" in android terminal or in adb shell on pc or Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache option in CWM).
    7. Reboot phone and hold power button to access to MAGLDR menu while booting.
    8. Select the "AD Recovery" item.
    9. Select the "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard" item and select downloaded custom theme zip.
    10. After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
    11. Eventually if something goes wrong use CWM "backup and restore->Restore" item to restore from backup.

    Nice Work, but after reboot, I have one 140mb of memory. Do you know what´s happened? Thanks

    Everything is ok. It's just how Apps2sd+ work. You have ext3 partition on SD card that you normally don't see under SD & phone storage. On this partition are stored /data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache (eventually /data/data if you use method described under tips). This folders are linked to folders on internal storage. So for android nothing changed, but when you install apps they are physically stored on /system/sd/app, /system/sd/app-private and /system/sd/dalvik-cache. The simplest way to check available space is to use Titanium Backup. On first page you see: Internal Storage free space, SD card free space an SD card (a2sd) free space. (you can also use terminal app and command: df –h)

    quick one: i searched the thread but can't find any answer to the below question?

    is there a solution for low call volume? or is there a fix planned to be realesed for this ROM?

    I have the latest 1.4 version and still the call volume is radomly (mostly in answered calls) very low...... (yes, speaker on/off trick does work but it's a bit frustrating)

    This is the only issue with this ROM I have, as for the rest - it's awesome :)

    This is the definitive solution:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858448&highlight=default.acdb

    Only you don't delete the two files but only rename default.bak and htcleo.bak after reboot and volume is very high!
    100% work!!!
    Enjoy ;-)

    Is this ROM rooted? I remember I've tried to make my prj 0.3.2 rom see ad-hoc networks but I didn't manage to replace a "wpa supplicant" file.
    Also, I'd like to go back to the good old sense ui in froyo :)

    Pozdrawiam!

    Yes this ROM is rooted. As for this file the problem that you have in prj v0.3.2 appeared because /system partition is mounted as read-only. I can make update.zip for you that you can use as described in addons section and change wpa_supplicant file.
