Just a heads up. I have performed this calibration many times. And every single time it has worked.... until the next charge cycle.
The calibration works, it'll discharge back to 0, but next time I charge up, it'll discharge to 13 then turn off. Then I have to do all over again. Tried various times on various ROMS, with the same results on all. Interestingly, I started off with phone turning off at 18. But the first 5 times I tried, the phone would turn off before telling me to plug in. Each time it did this, the next time I gave it a try, it would power off 1% lower. So I went from switch off at 18 to 17, 16, then 15, 14, and finally 13%.

Also, what do you use to move to SD? Simple2ext? The built in move to SD? I can't get close to 115 apps. Not by a long shot. Always run out of space before that.

Weird. Calibration always works for me with dgb and stock kernel. Always retains its 0% until a flash or nandroid restore

hi dan,

your pm is full.

i recompile the dGB kernel without loadable module and wireless lan embedded into kernel image. i also put bcm4329.ko into /system/lib/modules and the path you mention before. i removed mksymlink.sh from updater-script.
flash the rom and then flash the patcher.

the results are:
- voice call ok
- text message ok
- mms not tested (my service provider didn't provide mms)
- gps ok (lock 12 satelites outdoor with 4m accuracy)
- camera ok (i'm using camera.apk from cm7 nightly)
- evdo/cdma1x ok
- wireless not ok (i'm using dgb and manu kernel)
- blank wallpaper
- auto-rotation not ok
- auto-brightnes not ok
- roaming indicator is always on (even when i choose home only and turn off data roaming)

i also capture the logcat.txt, do you want to see?
logcat.txt

thanks.

To be clear, flashing this kernel ontop of cm7 GSM and everything works on CDMA?

What about redux 1.2?

i use 4EXT recovery touch.

first attempt using CM7 gsm nightly:
- i use two cdma patcher based on dGB kernel (with module and without module).
- stripped down CM7 size (remove unused apk).
- extract framework-res.apk and copy into cdma patcher.
- flash CM7 gsm into bravoc, stuck with error at ro.product.device=bravo.
if i flash dGB gsm, the process didn't show any error. i must edit updater-script in CM7 gsm nightly.
- flash the CM7 again and patcher, failed to boot. i think the existing cache partition is too small to handle CM7 gsm (90MB system 3MB cache 344MB data).
- break for a while.
 
Hello "SUroot",
Congratulations on an excellent rom :)
I installed dGB yesterday after finally having enough about the lack of system memory on the Desire.
Before that, I was on the stock gingerbread on a Orange HTC Desire.

No big issues, a couple of minor probs:-
- restoring the apps from Titanium knocked out my home key for a while, couldn't work out why so ended up reinstalling them from market which solved the issue.
- Search key would not start Google search, found a solution here
[Q] Search button doesn't open up global / Google Search - xda-developers
- Skype seems even more flaky than usual.

I have installed all the apps I can think of and still have 217MB left...
Next steps, trying to reinstall the HTC PDFreader and QuickOffice apps.

Is this possible or should I just look for alternatives?

cheers
Rob
 
HTC apps will be tricky, as they rely on the Sense framework.

Never heard of restoring user apps killing home key. You didn't restore system data did you?

Hi Hadron,
I think I must have as I wanted to keep wifi settings + user dictionary etc.
(Neither of which seemed to work btw)
Actually, thinking back, this was actually before I applied the custom hboot to repartition.
As as consequence, I actually ran out of space whilst restoring the apps via Ti (as initially they were installed to phone memory). I cancelled the restore at this point but I have a feeling this trashed something.
Also, I forgot to mention a big plus for me:-
Full AC charging from the HTC Car Dock.
This was broken by the HTC 2.3.3 update and I have really missed it. (Could only get 'USB' charge)
 
Quick search is not installed by default.

You must either drop it in /system/app to work or put it in /data/app and symlink it to /system/app

Hi there,
But isn't Quick Office £9.27 from the market?? Was hoping to avoid re-purchasing it...

The version of Quick Office that came pre installed on your sense ROM allowed viewing but not editing of documents. The free version on the market is just the latest version of the same.

If you wanted to edit on your sense ROM you needed to upgrade to the pay version. The disadvantage there is that you would then have 2 copies, the free one on the system partition and the bought one on the data partition. The beauty of dGB is there is no waste on the system partition. You can update or replace apps as & when, without further eroding data space.

Apologies for being a bit slow but I can't see a free version on the market...
I will try again after a night's sleep!
 
OK,
Had dGb installed for just over a week now and am really happy with the experience.
The phone is miles faster despite being loaded with every app under the sun!
Any downsides?
-I do miss the fantastic text re-flow of the stock HTC browser but I am trialling Dolphin HD which works pretty well.
-Voice Speed Dial app is a bit hit and miss. Now usually doesn't work from a long press on the wired headphones. This app is temperamental on bluetooth as well.
But my main problem is that I have now caught the rooting/rom switching bug, it seems to be eating up all my time...
I have found using adb and fastboot under Ubuntu 12.04 very robust, saving me on a couple of occasions when the phone was not responding...
Thanks again for all the excellent advice and guides on this site, if you have any sense at all, they make 'rooting' a doddle.

ORD is a real bitch :D
 
Yeah maybe. I went PAYG as you go as I'm not wasting money paying for a handset I already own...

I'm not convinced this is the network for me though so will test with PAYG for a bit longer and wait for the ascend to come out. No other network comes close for cost and data limits....

Then see what the ascend is like.

I'm green with envy ;)

Here in Portugal I'd have to shell out over 500 to get my hand on one of those bad boys. That's just something I cannot do :( The Desire was my first and probably last high end device.

Don't you get subsidised handsets?

There are 2 ways to get a cheaper handset. First, the typical user, like me. You have a call plan where you have to charge your phone at least every 60 days with 25 euros. For each euro you get awarded one point, good for 2 years. In my case, these 25 will do for the 2 months because I mostly communicate over internet (300 mb per month for which they deduct 7.5 from those 25, meaning basically I spend 15 per 2 months for internet and 10 per 2 months for calls). This means I am awarded 25 points every 2 months. Being good for only 24 months, this means I have 300 point before my first 25 expire. Maybe a bit more if I charged a few times ahead of the 60 days. Then you have the invoiced users. They have a fixed plan for which they pay monthly at a certain rate. Usually these plans are aimed at professionals or high volume callers. They get the same point per euro as the rest of us, difference being that they make much more calls. I know one person that gets over 2000 points per year. So you can pretty much see what I mean.

At any point, you can exchange your points for "prizes" including discounts on equipment. Thins is, most high end equipment will run you over 1000 points. So most users will never reach that high. The professionals will. For theme it's easy. And even then sometimes they only get like 150 off a 650 phone. Sometimes as much as half the value. But that's usually it.
 
Well we don't have points. You either do top up and pay full price or contract monthly. You get a range ususlly starting at 100 minutes....

So sometimes
