Its going to be a few steps and its arguable what way you do it.

I would take a longer approach myself.

• Flash 1.4 and patch to OLD value (making sure all looks right in teh rom itself)
• nandroid
• Wipe data (to clear .android_secure)
• Format all parts
• Change mtdpartmap
• Patch recovery
• Reboot recovery
• nandroid restore
• Patch boot with NEW values

Can I change the partmap after flashing 1.4 and patching? Then start as if its from scratch only instead of flashing rom run restore?

You can but you will need to repatch as per my instructions. You cant flash then patch new values as to change the values you have to format all parts.

Wow. You are a ROM Dev!

Well I have just rooted my phone and it was so easy (and I'm on a Mac) and have just installed this release. Must say I'm rather impressed
Gingerbread looks rather neat and I have no bloatware on it, I never used facebook, twitter, stocks etc. so I won't miss them.

Couple of questions though and I hope I'm not being dim, but
how do I install a couple of wallpapers and ringtones ?????
My WiFi signal strength seems to be rather low compared to before (froyo) do I need to adjust any settings ? the router is only 6 foot away from me and it only shows one bar

apart from that, its a really slick phone I have now thanks to SUroot

SUroot

See my last post just a few minutes ago on the xda thread for things to try for WiFi including flashing the recommended kernel...

Ringtones, try downloading "zedge" from the market

togger161

Just wanted to say congratulations on releasing your first rom.

1.4 is flawless imo once manu 1.4 is flashed
hes cleared up the image rendering problems with surface flinger that plagued alpha png rendering.
Im funny about roms, if there is something that niggles me i cannot use it.
I had a stripped version of cm7 nightly which was nice as i got it to 75mb but it still had that wierd problem with screen on animation turned on and i proved it was not kernel specific.

anyway, this is what AOSP should be and id be surprised people who like aosp variants didnt fall in love with this as it gives you what you "need" in terms of functionality while remaining totally naked.

I hope when redux2 sources and commits are available you experiment with the new notifications system and tweeks he has made

SUroot

Wow, thanks Rastaman. I certainly will have a play, yes. 1.4 as far as I can tell is "final" for now. There are a couple of suggestions that I may look at but as I've beenslogging on this for about 3 months now, I am really due some time off.

But once R2 sources are available, I will surely be loooking at whats what.

Rastaman-FB

time off? what is this you speak of?

well i was going to get into making a rom, didnt find the time to get started and learn. now this is made there is no point in me doing so as it does exactly what i would make.
I think we are of similar taste tbh so youve saved me some time. although ill get to being a dev one day for future phones etc.

whether you like it or not mate you are a proper dev not a kiddy scripter. youve built this from the ground up and own the smallest ROM (with g-apps included) for bravo desire on the planet.
Other roms claim to be 48mb/50mb etc but either thats zipped or without g-apps.

one day im going to get some import belgian/german beers in and go round to your yard and you will give me a crash course one evening.
We will drink as true gents and code like beasts

SUroot

Mate, you're welcome any time.

Rastaman-FB

im repping this rom bro
wonder if you get on xda front page :P
dont worry im not going to tell them to put it there but you have the smallest fkin rom lol

SUroot

I was hoping to get into the everything desire thread at least, but still no joy.

Thanks for repping.

v1.4 downloads are at 134. Could do better....

302 downloads since records began (v1.2)

Rastaman-FB

things will change, have patience, its cos of the big hitters like miui/cm/gv/oxygen

SUroot

Yeah, I guess so long as the thread is around, people will be drawn by the idea of such a small /system partition. Then hopefully, they will realise thats not all it brings to the table.

Sak01

I know this is not your intention, but I think everyone that has benefited from your guides should give this a go. Same goes for Rastaman, Hadron and InfernalByte if they ever develop anything.

Hadron

Well I certainly don't have time to learn ROM development at the moment (very busy few months ahead), and don't really feel I'd have anything to add just now.

However, I tend to upgrade devices more rarely than most, so might have to learn when devs start drifting away from the Desire.

@Rastaman: Belgian beer, eh? Good call!

Got to love the Belgian beers. It's just the "british" lagers I hate. Not much of an ale man, although I LOVE innis & gunn rum cask....Hmmmmmm

Rastaman-FB

im a big fan of leffe blonde, kwak and duvel
german wise i like erdinger and hoegarden.
full bears with aroma and taste, nothing chemical like mass produced british crap

rowlers

I'll download, just to get your numbers up lol!
Seriously, I'm planning on trying this soon, as you got rid of a lot of the apps that I don't need.
Q: anyone got a comparison to this and Oxygen 2.2.1? What is the advantage of have apps on the internal memory and not sddext? I'm guessing speed..

well done SU

Rastaman-FB

speed, more space on sdcard for things you want on sdcard
backups never requiring partition to be needed on sdcard.

rowlers

Thought as much
So coming from oxygen, and going the whole hog, I need to wipe/FR. delete the ext3, Flash the 65mb HBoot. flash the dGB, restore APNs, Ti Restore Apps.
is this about it?

Rastaman-FB

you dont "need" to delete the ext as the phone wont even look for it but obviously its wasted space if you dont.
imo leave that untill you are comfortable this rom is for you and you can live without a2sd+ (most can but some people install silly amounts of apps)
the hboot is now 60. with the latest 1.4 build of dgb i see no reason not to use the smaller hboot.

flash the hboot you will need to "fastboot erase system" and "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot reboot bootloader"

rowlers

QSI says I've used 296mb of A2SD used. but I've sh|t loads of apps on there that I don't use. So even with this many, I've got enough /data space!
all downloaded and ready to go, prob at the weekend tho, when kids and Mrs are out and I've got a bit of peace!

DNick

Leffe is definitely in my top 3 beers.

Rastaman-FB

what bets you have this done by thursday :P
its lush
when i get it, i chill the bottle to what feels like almost frozen and i chill the glass too
i drink it from a conical pint glass. its soooooooo nice
gets you rather pissed tho if not careful

Hadron

I think Hoegaarden are also Belgian - the Grand Cru is a serious brew, while the white beer is a great summer drink

+1 on the Erdinger!

Hadron

I've put a second request into that thread (and added my rep to the dGB thread).

Hadron

I was using almost that much, plus dalvik on internal, but by punting my larger apps to .android_secure I've actually reinstalled everything and still have 120MB to spare!

And I'm actually using a "wasteful" 70MB system partition

(Reason: with a little editing I can test out Redux2 with that hboot - I can get the lite build under 70 easily enough, and at present it even works if I flash over dGB without a wipe. Though I've not tried doing it in the other direction, I always nandroid restore instead. And yes, I remove the a2sd script from Redux before doing these tests).

Rastaman-FB

:P

its good we have people that appreciate proper beer over this chemically processed nasty sh1t we have over in the uk

imports for life.

leffe on tap is a killer, along with liefmans kreek

if i make a rom its gonna be named after a "proper" beer

SUroot

Ah mate, I drink from the continent, south America and Asia but not the British crap.

I feel full after a couple of pints and move on though. Especially erdinger dark. Like a,pint of food. Mmmmm north bar

Rastaman-FB

lol erdinger dark is heavy, well erdinger in general is. its yeasty and catches you later lol.
i get the same with starupramen

so you like your rums eh?

DNick

I've yet to find a bar with Leffe on tap. I've been dying to have it tap.

SUroot

I like rum but generally with a mixer. I like Petey whiskies and cognac mainly. Bruichladdich for whisky and hine for cognac. I like red wine too. Used to love white and hate red but that reversed although I am still partial to a pinot greggio. Glad we have somewhere to discuss this now

Rastaman-FB

AirBar in leeds used to sell it

O
M
G

after 4 pints i was smashed and i can usually drink
dont mess with that stuff, very dangerous

looking forward to the steiners at the german beer market in november


EDIT: yes dan i love red wines. one day were gonna have to get smashed i think

SUroot

I love air bar. Only in summer though, if yo get there early and can sit by the river.

yeah lets get smashed see if we can code a demon while we're at it!

Edit, or just listen to tunes... I think we have some commonalities there too.

Xreo

Would really like to use this Rom as its exactly what I have been doing with oxygen, cut down the system and no2ext but am waiting for mandanick to get it working on cdma

DNick

Well, thanks for the recommendation of the bar, but I can't afford to cross the Atlantic for a pint of Leffe.

As for liquor, I'm a Bourbon Whiskey man myself.

Rastaman-FB

ahh no worries, wasnt so much a recommendation just that its the only place ive come across that had it on tap

SUroot

170 downloads for 1.4 now. Slowly but surely.

MandaNick

Still working on the CDMA port, there are some issues, and it is really slow going as I don't have a phone me or my family don't need on a day to day basis. I'll keep working on it though

SUroot

Thanks for the recommendation yesterday hadron

SUroot

thinking about it, I'm not sure using CDMA Oxygen is a good idea for the port. Some CM would probably be better as they share kernels.

The Oxygen kernel wont work with dGB as it has different camera drivers so this could be causing issues.

Rastaman-FB

i didnt tell you but i pm'd the guy as soon as you mentioned you wanted it on there.

im a secretive credit giver

SUroot

I pmd him before the last update but to no avail. It seems he is quite selective. I saw a post from Alexv that made me laugh asking why his Roms werent included. That said f1 is in there :$

Rastaman-FB

alex v is :/
i look at his stuff and hes much like the f1 dev. (repackager)

SUroot

Yeah I know
