[ROM] eViL De-SiRe Barebone A2SD v2.01 & Kernels [6/4/10]

First off, thanks to the team the fixed the USB bricks, Kubino99 et al.
Big thanks to Paul from Modaco for root and A2SD.
YOU MUST FIRST HAVE ROOT! FOLLOW THIS GUIDE TO GET SETUP.
CURRENT RECOVERY DOES NOT FORMAT DALVIK CACHE, IT IS BROKEN! USE LINUX OR PARTITION THE MEMORY CARD VIA RECOVERY!
To Flash via Linux, you will need to boot to Linux to get to Recovery
Code:
Root Method 1
1. Your device should now be off. Unplug the device from your computer.
2. Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say 'HBOOT' instead of 'FASTBOOT'.
3. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the 'RECOVERY' option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle - at this point, plug it into your Linux or OSX computer.
4. From 'push files' zip that you downloaded you'll see a file called 'recovery-linux.sh' or 'recovery-mac.sh'. Run the one appropriate to your operating system and the screen of your device should change to display the green recovery image menu.
5. In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select 'Wipe -> Wipe data /factory reset', wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
6. Then 'Flash zip from sdcard' and choose the rooted update. Confirm with the trackball and the update process will begin. It'll take a little while, so go make a nice cup of tea.
When the flash has finished, reboot, and you are DONE!
Code:
Root Method 2
1- copy the ROM .zip to your SD card
2- boot off Paul's .iso, perform the first steps in the tutorial, without connecting the phone; skip 'sudo ./step1.sh'
3- put phone in Recovery mode as indicated in the tutorial, and connect it to your machine
4- run 'sudo ./step2.sh', wait until you get the green screen with the recovery options on the phone
5- wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
6- install the .zip you copied earlier (leave rootedupdate.zip alone)
7- once flashing is complete, reboot the phone and... you're all set
Thanks cezarL
To get to Recovery via Windows, download and extract this to your adb/tools folder. You will use the recovery-windows.bat in the pushfiles folder for your step 4.(thanks to nilezon via afiorillo)
I also recommend wiping cache & Dalvik cache before flashing. CURRENTLY DALVIK CACHE CANNOT BE CLEARED IN RECOVERY. Use Linux or Repartition in Recovery!
To configure A2SD (thanks to afiorillo)
Code:
While in Recovery, using the optical trackpad, now select "Partition sdcard" -> "Partition SD" and issue a SWAP=0, EXT2=512, FAT32=<remaining> partition command (read carefully the instructions provided on-screen by the procedure, you'll have to use the volume keys too, here).
Find and issue the "SD:ext2 to ext3" command.
Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select "Reboot system now". While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.
*Note that this will format your whole SD card. Make a backup before doing this if you need.
*All builds include stuffs from previous builds unless noted in the change log.

v1.2.2 Bare
Removed D2C script.
On first boot, free space is 123MB on data. Does not rely on cache partition.
v1.2.1 D2C Bare - Dalvik 2 Cache
Odexed system apps, so more free space on data. (144 on data, 23 cache) - thx for the epiphany Kali-
Removed HTC Worldclock
Added Eclair Deskclock - able to dismiss alarm
ADW launcher Themed Froyo-like - thx @bakageta
v1.2 A2SD Bare - A2SD Recommended
A2sd will split to sdcard & data unless you don't use a2sd, which will only go to data. (however, there is only 100mb of free space) *working on that

v1.1 A2SD Split - Full Build
Alternate a2sd method - Dalvik will be stored in data/dalvik-cache (your internal memory will decrease as apps are installed, but some apps should open faster) and app data goes to SD. 140MB+ free space on Data after first boot.
Build is odexed, more space on Data (deodexed builds creates dex files in data/dalvik-cache, so you get less space on data)
Removed wired tether
Zipalign on boot
Added back HTC Weather
v1.1 D2C Bare - Dalvik to Cache
Experimental. THIS IS NOT AN APPS TO SD BUILD. Almost the same build as 1.0 except for the following changes.
Dalvik is moved to Cache instead of Data partition. Cache available is around 38MB. It may not seem like much, but I have around 42 apps installed and 14mb free in cache. Large apps will obviously eat up space faster. Also, you CAN boot w/o an SD card and access apps while disk is mounted.
Build is odexed, more space on Data (deodexed builds creates dex files in data/dalvik-cache, so you get less space on data)
Removed wired tether
Zipalign on boot

Awesome that you are modding Desire roms! Have been following you on the Liquid scene and your roms rock

Very nice, is it possible to remove more sense apps?
Thanks for the first custom rom for desire

Please include apps2sd

Can you take out HTC sense from the ROm. I'd like to try vanilla Eclair

Paul will release cyanogenmod 5.0.6 today for the desire

Why not just turn it off then? I know this was possible on the Hero... to be fair, I've not check on the Desire.
If there is one or two of the removed apps that we actually want, where can the apk's be found?

Awesome work)
We here in Russia are interested, which languages are present in this ROM?
And also +1 for A2SD

Nice, first custom ROM for the Desire I saw Congrats!

Yeah i installed this ROM after i'd done Paul's one, and all i'm getting is
"The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Everytime i retry i just get back through the same loop!

i'll look at a2sd, but i believe pauls addon will work. i have not tried.

Great to see a custom build like this, so soon after root was achieved.

I could do without friendstream and footprints too.. (as stripped/lite as possible)
Do you have a screenshot of your "Transparent black notification tray"
Also: have you given any thoughts to a "wake screen with middle button" mod, and perhaps a silent switch on lockscreen?

I like to have the nexus dia-er (or even better, the moddded dialer by wysie) and the nexus mms.apk. I tried to push them but ended up in a bootloop
Any help would be great

As I said before, give us an option to put these back in though, I use Friend Stream for example.

keeping htc widgets would also be nice

yep i wiped and cleared data using the recovery menu before i then installed the zip.

[ROM]SparksMod-1.1.2 Apps2Ext+LauncherPro - Dream/Sapphire[32b] (09/12/10)

Update: There seems to be a popular slang term "cook" going around on this thread as well as pm's. If you are having a issue because you didn't read the OP, I will not take the problem seriously. All I will tell you is wipe and reflash! Call me whatever you will, but I DO NOT USE KITCHENS. Things I do use:
1. My brain
2. My computer
3. Autosign script
4. XDA obviously
That's it!
New things added and removed, check the changelog below. If you have a g1, please rate and comment on my g1 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7656698#post7656698. This way I know what devices are having issues. So far no major issues have been reported, and I would like to keep it that way.
After flashin the rom and gapps, Set your phone up the way you want it. If you want to use Compcache instead of swapper2, then select "deny" when prompted from superuser. Also if you want to remove Swapper2 completely with adb:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm Swapper2.apk
It should be gone instantly. This app is only 82.4kb large in size, so if you think you are going to be saving a lot of space on your phone, then you will be dissapointed. If you just can't stand it being in your app drawer you can also remove apps with titanium backup for free on the market, or Astro file manager (also free on the market).
If you want Swap instead of compache, you will need to select "allow" when prompted. You will need to disable Compcache in CM Settings and reboot.
Once you boot up open the swapper2 app and set it up the way you want. I have mine set to 32mb for the size, and 20 swappiness for my swap file, but I may go back to using compcache. Also select safe unmount for mounting sdcard so that your swap is safely unmounted before your sdcard mounts. Once you unmount your sdcard, you can go to swapper and select the on button to enable it again.
Then go to CM Settings > application settings, and select "Allow application moving". Don't change the install location. That's it, now your all ready to install as many apps as you want to your ext partition. It seems that people are having good luck with flashing from v1.1.1-v1.1.2 with no wipe at all. This is a good sign that my no wipe options is working for now, we will see with future updates, but I'm confident that no wipe should be necessary at all from here on out.
You will need to flash the new gapps 20100912 If you want things like chrome2phone. You also need to install the chrome to phone extension on your chrome browser here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco
Thank you Cyanogenmod, Firerat, ChromerSmith, Dumfuq, and anyone else I'm forgetting for making this all possible. If you like our work, buy us a beer.
Requirements: This rom supports G1/Dream/Magic/Sapphire [32b] devices only. You need the Danger SPL. If you want apps2ext partition then you need a ext3 or ext4 partition on your sdcard. I am not responsible for broken phones or sdcards!
Changelog
1.1.2
-Removed ADW and added LauncherPro, seems to run better!
-Added Chrome2Phone to gapps (You must download the new gapps if you want this)
-Added Swapper2 to rom for people who want swap instead of compcache.
-Added CMTheme folder, and LauncherPro Backup folder. If you wish to use these, you must extract the zip files to the root of your sdcard. Go to restore theme in CM Settings > User Interface > Tweaks extras, and then select a theme. There will be a option for SparksMod theme, select this and it will change the colors to white. For LauncherPro just restore settings in the settings for LauncherPro.

I am open to feedback on any changes or ideas anyone has for future improvements.
Instructions:
Full wipe required if coming from anything other than SparksMod-1.1.1 I can not guarantee that the no wipe thing will stick. These roms are changing constantly since they are still in the development stage, or at least until Cyanogenmod is completed with cm6 development for the dream/sapphire.
Apps2ext partition is now automatic. Make sure after first boot, go to CM Settings > application settings, and select "Allow application moving". Don't select a different install location. That's it, feel free to install as many apps as you want worry free from reboots to move apps, slow boot times, or running terminal commands to move the apps to ext when you get low on space.
You will need to change the clock color and date color as with any blackbar mod in CM Settings, or use the xml folder from my downloads folder. Extract the contents of the zip file to the root of your sdcard, then restore theme as usual in CM Settings.
LauncherPro Settings: Instead of listing my current settings, feel free to download and use the LauncherPro backup settings from my downloads folder. Extract the contents of the zip file to the root of your sdcard, then restore settings in LauncherPro.
I recommend downloading or installing SetCpu so you can control the speeds if you are using the overclock kernel to see what works good for you as far as battery life and speed combined. I set mine at 596mhz and it's still fast without too much battery drain.
-Spare Parts settings: Set transitions windows and animations to fast
-Set CM Settings > Performance to "disable surface dithering", "lock home in memory", enable "JIT".

My father just installed this on his phone and is very happy with it. THANKS!

Ok. Been using this Rom for a couple days. So far everything is smooth and fast. Did a no wipe upgrade to the oc'd version second day. Had one time that a reboot deleted my apps and one force close when I went to settings>sound (settings force close). May have to do with no wipe upgrade? Battery drain is normal for froyo. That's it so far.
Going to nandroid back to standard version since I will never go over 576 anyway.
Everything is super fast and responsive. Very stable so far. Best screen rotation time on froyo. Liking the launcher pro as well. Thank you for the cm ui and LP settings zips btw.
Mt3g. No swap. CC enabled. Set CPU at 245/576. Everything else set up normal.
Great job. Keep it coming. Thanks for your hard work.

you can remove it via terminal emulator
su (enter)
mount -o rw,remount /system (enter)
rm -r /system/app/appname.apk. this way you can remove any app that is in the system. good luck.

If I'm right if you have the new launcher.apk in your sdcard then after you do this you can copy the new one to its spot from your sdcard.
cp /sdcard/appname.apk /system/app (enter)
reboot (enter)
Let it reboot and you should have the old removed and replaced with the new.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also make sure to do a nandroid backup, just to be in the safe side.

Please refer to the g1 android development link on the OP, this thread is out-dated, and I don't have enough time to manage both threads right now.

Testing the link, i'm currently downloading, no problems so far.
EDIT: download complete. It's ok here. Still not working for you?

That quadrant score is out of the box, or u already have it oced?
Btw, looking good, im gonna test it now. Thanks.

Mirrors please =)
Will try this before Barebones 14 shows up...
Thanks!

No OC, just the stock speed (800 mhz). But please note, that is the BEST score i had and i performed the benchmark ten times or more in order to test the rom.
I got different responses from quadrant, but most of the times the score is above 1200, often around 1250 and sometimes i get more, rarely it goes below 1200 (if occurs, it occurs at the first try).
Also note i tested on a clean or almost clean xd1, just a couple of apps installed.
But all these values are for me, not sure you'll get the same, you just need to test by yourself

ok, it finished downloading this time. Btw, this rom is great thanks

rom looks nice, could you maybe provide the stock/froyo theme for the statusbar icons?
i dont really like the overall greenish thing. looks kinda infected or radiated

The green stuff is just what i like
anyway, here are the files to restore the stock statusbar and overall aspect.
Edit: they should be applied via recovery, do not copy directly.
Edit2: take the flashable .zip file at first post.

Thank you.
I will add it to the first post

Thank you cant wait to try. Very fast download server.
Thanks again.

Without any overclock and all my apps instaled, got 1230-1260 at quadrant (3 times) and 11.9 MFLOPS at Linpack. Will try to OC and see where I can go =)
OC 1200/64, 600/32, 300/18 => 1713 quadrant, 16.9 MFLOPS (didn't used any task killer)
-----
Nice rom, but there are some minor things that I didn't like.
- The green color (it could be nice if other items are green too, make a white version please).
- Some things on the dialer are in english (I'm using brazilian portuguese)
Things that I really liked:
- Speed
- 3G/signal out of the box was ok
- battery icon (circular with numbers, really nice)
- Many basic apps that i need out of the box (oi file manager, calendar, calc, voice commands, e-mail, maps, motorola music player, terminal and system recovery)
Thanks again!

I just applied this over JBoogies Liquid Arc, as it was already Froyo no need to do anything else. So far this one looks good. As I was using JBoogie ROM before this, I should still be able to downgrade

Hi, I tried your rom now and noticed that the home button is not working. There is haptic feedback on pressing it but no action displayed on screen.
Can you or anyone please point out to what the issue might be?

Home Button works great here. Did u wiped your data and cahce before flashing the 3.4.2-155 sbf?
Maybe u can do this and then start again with flashing the sbf and then apply the Rom with the zip package.
Greetz

Maybe you only need to reconfigure Zeam
Option Button (dunno the right name, it's the first button before Home) => Preferences => Reset to default

For those who think the green stuff is too extreme:
well i'm working on the framework to replace the green with a more conventional light blue
If i'll have a bit of time also a white version in the future..

how i can add arabic in this rom ????

[ROM][CWM][KD1] GingerClone v2 (AospMod) Update2 + TMW v3.0 ROM/Theme [9.2.11] - PDT

This here is a fast, slim, and VERY stable Froyo 2.2.1 ROM Based on the KD1 firmware for the Sidekick 4G. This was built with the idea of making the Samsung software functional with as little Touchwiz as possible, knowing how much samsungs overlay on android can bog the phone down and this ROM is proof of it. I've taken a lot out and themed what was left.
With that being said, most touchwiz/Samsung specific crap is removed. This is an AOSP clone so there is extremely minimal bloat and any unnecessary apps you don't expect to find in an aosp ROM most likely isn't in here.
GingerClone v2 [AospMod] Update2.zip (123.95 MB) ! (8.25.11)

ROM/Theme:TouchMIUIwizPDT-v3.0 [AospMod]
Download:TouchMIUIwizPDT-v3.0 [AospMod].zip (129.37 MB)
What is TouchMIUIwiz v3.0 [AospMod] ?
its Exactly the Same ROM as the GCv2 AospMod, without the gingerbread theming. ALL theming from framework to icons are TouchMIUIwiz v3.0 but has same apps from GCv2 AospMod, not more, not less. The Boot animation is a Normal M Logo, and the shutdown is the same as TouchMIUIwiz v3.0. This would be for anyone who likes the lightness and feel of gingerclone v2 and want the look of TouchMIUIwiz. They have the same tweaks and all apps are up to date. All lastest updates are included as well. Anything left if themed like TouchMIUIwiz v3.0. Also, its a ROM not a flashable theme.

Install Instructions
Instructions - NOTHING NEW, if you know the drill then go ahead and install.
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM
*Now before you Flash, Only if you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS IF YOU ARE ON A RED VOODOO RECOVERY) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFTER THE ROM BOOTS, i Recommend letting it sit for about 5 mins without use so cache and stuff builds back up, then log into google from gmail/market or someway, let google sync for 5 mins then reboot again. then you will have your Sidekick 4G in the best state its ever been

this rom by far has the smoothest feel to it, and the green color plus AOSP is definitely a nice theme.
the rom is a nice change and especially if you like v1 of gingerclone you will love this.
i reccomend trying it out i haven't noticed any bugs yet.

That's odd. With this ROM I haven't gotten too much below 1600, I get 1700+ average on quadrant but I get 2100+ when overiclocked at 1.152 Ghz
When you flashed the ROM did your lagfix enable ?

My bad, I was using the global variant of quadrant. With the standard edition I get about 17xx. *Edit* Solid 2000 when OC'd to 1.2GHz. */Edit*

very nice looking ROM. I use a G2X and love it. My wife has the sidekick and I have been "fixing" it for her......thanks for this one.

yeah, running smooth and fast, and no bugs here either. i was wondering if there was a way to get one of your black Google Search bars in this ROM? i have tried pasting them in from your previous ROMs, but nothing seems to work.... not a big deal, just wonderin'.
thanks as always for the great work. i like the Gingerbread messaging app, just like CM7, lol.

yep I did, and I've done it before with success, but not on this ROM for some reason, it either just stays white or causes Search to force close when I try to use it.
