[ROM] Papetation v2.20 /SWAP-Multitasking/3.33.401.55 - HTC Sensation

Papetation ROM by papete
OK, so the main question is why another Sense based ROM? well, now that our beloved Sensation is getting old, it seems that fewer developers are working on our phone and updates are not as fast as they used to be. As long as I own the Sensation I will keep on making my custom ROM (for personal use) based on official HTC releases, and given that to make a "public version" I just have to add a couple of things, I'm sharing with you all.
The ROM has a few tweaks to improve multitasking, which is the main reason I decided to make a custom ROM. The tweaks are not aggressive and stability should not be compromised in any way. So we could say that the "philosophy" of the ROM is to get a rock solid phone stretching its capabilities to the max.
This ROM has been posted for months now on a Spanish website, so it has been fully tested, I'm just bringing it to XDA and added back a couple of things to make it suitable for a more international clientele.
System details:
Android 4.0.3
Sense 3.6
Based on firmware HTC 3.33.401.55
Kernel SebastianFM
No visual changes, stock look
ROM Details:
SWAP: The ROM (during installation) detects if you have a SWAP partition on your SD card and uses it to improve multitasking
Tweaked memory management: I've tweaked the default memory management to keep apps on RAM for longer
ROOT with SuperSU
SQLite & Busybox
Unsecured boot.img
A lot of bloatware removed plus other things to make it leaner
Photo pics quality improved
Zipaligned
Zipalign check on every boot
De-odexed
init.d scripts support
System read-write support
Change bootanimation
MMS size capacity up to 1000k
/data folder on zip so you can add your apk's before flashing and have them all installed easily during installation
GPS config modified for faster satellites acquiring
FaceLock is disabled to free up space
Eliminated all loggers and sniffers from HTC, CIQ, etc
Facebook pics sync with other apps
System wide volume improved
.... and a lot of other minor tweaks
Required:
HTC Sensation/4G/XE S-OFF
4EXT Touch Recovery
Firmware 3.33 (Recommend to flash this firmware as it contains all we need plus the latest radio:11.76C, thanks to Kohr-Ah for the base) MD5: ee16e11cb270ec08144f198e4056cf70
A fast SD card: class 6-10
A SWAP partition on your SD
Firmware flashing:
Copy the PG58IMG.zip file on your SD card (root folder)
Check that the MD5 sum is ee16e11cb270ec08144f198e4056cf70, a corrupted file will brick your device. I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone!
Power off your phone and boot it in bootloader mode (volume down + power)
Select that we want to update the software (volume up for yes)
Once you receive the message that the software has been updated successfully, erase PG58IMG.zip from your SD card so it will not ask for the update again if you enter the bootloader.
1º Create SWAP partition:
Make a backup of your SD
With your SD in your phone enter bootloader and then to 4ext Recovery (Volume down + power, then select recovery)
Select "Tools-partition sd card"
It will ask if you want to format all the SD, or to save the information you have in it (fat32). You already have a backup, so select any option.
Next screen will ask for the size of the 1º sd-ext partition, we select "skip".
Next screen will ask for the size of the swap partition, I recommend 256
Confirm and make the SWAP partition
2º ROM flashing:
Download the ROM and save it on your SD card
Boot into bootloader (vol down + power), then select recovery
Do superwipe: (select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache+ dalvik)
Go back to the main menu and select "Install from SD" and then "choose zip from sdcard"
Look for Papetation ROM on your SD card list, select it and let the process begin
After it finishes the installation reboot you phone. First boot takes a while, so be patient
Changelog V-2.20 (January 10, 2013):
Updated base to 3.33.401.55
Firmware updated with new radio
Updated Superuser binary
Initial release on XDA-developers
Important notes:
* SWAP benefits are not immediate the phone takes a while to identify the packages it can move to SWAP (out of RAM). A phone that has been on for a while will behave better than a phone that has been on just a couple of minutes, as SWAP will be operating more effectively.
*If your mobile operator uses fast dormancy, use the build prop editor (included) and look for the line "ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule", change the property key from "0" to "1". This should give you a battery benefit.

Notes: *Read this part!!
The RCMixHD v3.0 D2WE uses melethrons data2whatever script, which need one ext partition, can be ext2/3 or ext4. Recommended 1-1.5GB ext3/4
The RCMixHD v3.0 D2EXT uses ownheres data2ext v8.5 script, recommended partition layout is (works without swap and with one ext partition too):
Fat + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap (ext partitions will by formated as ext4 automaticly)
The first boot takes long time due the data2ext setup process, it stays on the first splash screen (why so serious or htc) for couple of minutes, stay calm
Nandroid backup isn't working with 2.0.0 or older Versions of Amon Ra. There is a newer Version available in this post. Clockwork does also work. Thanks melethron for that info. *New
If you are curious of what your phone is doing, if it has freezed or if it is still alive, connect your phone to usb and do adb logcat from terminal, then report what is going on...
In the begining the rom can feel laggy, it is caused by all your app beeing downloaded and synced
Overclock with SetCpu, overclock widget from market.
Be cautious when overclocking, do it always with small steps!
If you have problems installing the rom, try to repartition your sd card, make a full wipe and try to install it again.
Restoring a titanium backup may cause some FC, use with caution.
More FAQ and info in 2nd post, (working in progress there, hints appreciated )
Known bugs:
Everything should be fine!
Requirement:
Full wipe required due different structure of the rom.
A2SD version - Fat + Ext3/4, 0.5-1.5GB recommended.
D2WE version - Fat + Ext3/4, 1-1.5GB recommended.
D2EXT version - Fat + Ext4 + Ext4 + Swap (fat+1GB+0.3GB+0.1GB) recommended, but works without swap and with one ext partition too.
Check this post how to partition your sd-card
DATA++ version - Fat + Ext3/4 1-1.5GB recommended. (custom MTD needed)

Instructions and FAQ
Here will i put some instructions and FAQ it seems to be needed...
UNDER PROGRESS...​Partitioning:
BEWARE THAT IF YOU ARE CREATING NEW PARTITIONS YOU CAN LOSE YOUR DATA ON YOUR SDCARD
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PICS/MUSIC/DOCUMENTS/BACKUPS (simply copy them over to your computer )...
I recommend partitioning using either Amons recovery or boot a GParted Live CD.
If you want to use Amons recovery. (If you dont have it on your phone, search a guide for how to flash it)
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold volume down button and turn on your phone holding the volume down button all the time, until you see a white screen with some info and a menu.
Scroll down and choose RECOVERY, you are scrolling with volume upp/down buttons and accepting with power button. (you maybe have to wait few seconds before be able to scroll)
Now your phone has rebooted to your recovery.
Scroll down to Partition sdcard (this time you are scrolling with D-Pad)
Choose Partition SD and confirm it, then choose those values.
Swap-size = 0MB
Ext2-size = 2048 (thats what i use, you can choose 1024 if you have small Sd-card)
rest will be FAT32 (for your storage)
Press D-Pad to confirm and wait.
Here is a part related to partitioning
Paxtons great movie, should work for all users
GParted live cd:
Here is a small how to by MasDroid, Thanks man.
MasDroid said:
You can use an Ubuntu live cd of GParted, or use it from within Ubuntu
1) Connect your phone to your computer (or use an SD Card adapter...., in this case skip to 4)
2) Pull down the notification bar and mount the phone
3) Start Gparted
4) Gparted will search available drives. (Your phone should show up as a USB drive, and will be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, etc..)
Warning: double-check you've not selected a hdd by mistake!
5) In the upper right corner, select the correct USB device for your phone. (i.e. check to make sure it is correct size for your SD card)
6) Right click on each partition and select 'unmount'
7) Right click on each partition and select 'delete'
If you know what you are doing, you can re-size the partitions and add a new 2nd partition formatted as ext2/3/4
8) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
9) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = fat32
Free Space Following = 512 (or whatever you want)
10) Click add
11) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
12) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = ext2/3/4 (recommend ext4)
Free Space Following = 0 (or ~32 if you want swap)
Click add
13) Click edit, then 'Apply All Operations' to write changes to disk
14) Quit GParted
15) Unmount your SD Card
16) Reboot your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
changing the power control widget icons:
In system/cutomize/ are two files to find, widget.txt(what for widgets to show) and notification_config.txt (what functions to show)
edit them with notepad.
Power Widget for Notification Menu
Available values for widget.txt (max 6x):
toggleWimax
toggleAirplane
toggleAutoRotate
toggleBluetooth
toggleBrightness
toggleFlashlight
toggleGPS
toggleLockScreen

Change the txt file like this: enablePowerControl|enableRecentApps​
Data ++ version
RCMixHD v3.5 ++
S-OFF Only
Read more about the concept here
This is highly experimental, use at own responsibility, dont blame me for any brick.​
Short info:
This is how i understand it hehe, so if it is wrong, please correct me
In deodexed roms, the apk it self is like a container for the app, when it installs it runs actually from dalvik-cache, so this rom is designed to, store the apks on ext and run the dalvik from internal phone memory (data partition)
When all apks are moved to ext, the rom it self is under 130MB big, so there is no need for a bigger system partition.
So what we need to do, is repartition the internal phone memory to fit the rom better.
Originally your internal space is divided like this:
250.0 MB - system
147.6 MB - userdata
40.0 MB - cache
What we need or want for the ++ rom is (in RCMixHD case):
130.0 MB - system
302.6 MB - userdata
5.0 MB - cache
I have maked a zip package to make the process easier, here i what i used, you can also read more about it. Thanks Firerat for that
Ofcourse to flash this you have to be S-OFF, dont think the patcher works on S-ON...
Here is what you need to flash this rom:
First of all little adb and fastboot knowledge, in case anything goes wrong.
It works on my phone, so here is little info about what i have/use,
the patch is patching the recovery, it should work with Clockwork 2.x, dont know about the 3.x, but it works for sure with the one i have, Ra recovery 2.0.1
My setup:
Recovery: RaRecovery 2.0.1
Hboot: S-OFF 0.93.1000
Radio:5.14.05.17
You need at least 1GB big ext partition.
Package to patch your MTD to proper sizes:
[*]Custom MTD sizes, 130MB system, 5MB cache, rest data, you dont need this, if you already have alpharev Bravo CM7 on your phone.
[*]Original MTD sizes, 250MB system, 40MB cache, rest data *You will still have the patched recovery, which is not recommended to flash radios with, to flash radio, you will have to flash original recovery before.removed until proper tested :/ sorry for that...
Or use Alpharev method and flash the Bravo CM7 hboot
You can use this tool to flash Alpharevs Hboot, should be easy, not tested myself tho.
The ++ roms:
RCMixHD 3.5++ Rotated or DeSensenized
Stepps to flash this rom:
Copy the MTD files and the rom to your sd-card
Reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup (optional)
Do a full wipe (to be sure)
Flash the Custom MTD zip and wait for the recovery to reboot
Do a full wipe again (to be sure)
Flash the rom and reboot
Now just wait, the phone will reboot twice more again, but dont worry, it is a step of the A2SD installation
To revert to non ++ rom, flash the Original MTD sizes patch, or if you are on Alpharev Bravo CM7, flash the Bravo Stock 1.8oo
Attention, if you after all get a no boot after flashing the rom, please repeat the steps from step 4.
How to flash batterymod from UOT kitchen:
Bake your battermod, download it and unzip it
take this ++ battery mod package (the same as in the first post)
open it with winrar
replace the framework-res.apk in the ++ package with the one you unzipped in step one
close winrar
turn off verification in recovery (not needed if you use clockwork, it is disabled by default)
flash and reboot

How to install or update:
REQUIREMENTS:
- CM7r2 or stock HBOOT (from Alpharev)
- A 1 to 1.5GB ext4 partition (see partition guide for 4EXT Recovery).
- A recovery with touch drivers: I recommend 4EXT Recovery. Optional but recommended. Must be S-OFF to use 4EXT! (see S-OFF guide).
INSTALLATION:
- For a step-by-step description of the installation process, see Runnymede AIO - Installation guide.
- For help partitioning your SD card, see 4EXT Recovery - Partition guide.

Important install notes:
- If you are coming from another ROM (or another base version of this ROM), perform a full wipe!
- If you are installing an updated version of this ROM with the same base, wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and boot. Then, select the same apps you have selected before in the INSTALLER!
- If you choose AD2SDX script in the installer, let the ROM settle down after first install. If an error occurs, just click "wait" (don't select "close"!). Then reboot. After that, you can restore your apps and settings. (Errors may occur with AD2SDX if you don't reboot first after install!)
- If you select some things in RCTeam Tweaks, you need to turn on WiFi, because some options need to download files from capychimp's server. Also, some options only take effect after a reboot (read the small text beneath the option).
- If you want Beats Audio to work, go to Settings/RCMix3D Tweaks/Miscellaneous Options/Beats Boost and select it. Wait 1 minute, and then reboot.

AND A BIG THANKS TO Proz0r FOR MAKING THE INT2SD FOR MY ROM
- More info or questions about the INT2SD:go here.
INT2SD
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks nor bind mounts. Instead of going through a symlink or a bind mount on the data partition, it makes Android write and read directly to and from the ext2/3/4 partition on your SD. INT2SD now, for the first time ever, comes in two flavours tailored to your needs:
INT2SD-M - "Mass"
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext
number of apps is only limited by ext size
made for people who never have enough apps
requires a faster card
for use with fatsys HBOOT
Description:
The classic "mass" flavour mounts ext to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT and is the prime choice for all app-addicts! If you have a fast card and desire a huge amount of applications, INT2SD-M is for you.
INT2SD-S - "Speed"
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext, /data/data on internal
/data/data limited to 280 MB (probably enough for more than 100 user apps)
noticeably faster on slower cards
for use with CM7r2 HBOOT
Description:
The new "speed" flavour mounts ext to /data and userdata to /data/data, achieving great speed while still retaining excellent storage capabilities. It's used with the CM7r2 HBOOT. If you have a slower card and are not severely app-hungry, but you still wish to experience the magic of INT2SD, then you will surely like INT2SD-S.
fatsys HBOOT
- More info or questions about the fatsys and hboot:go here.
INT2SD Sense ROMs require a special HBOOT, fatsys. This special HBOOT has 427 MB dedicated for /system, 5 MB for /cache and 5 MB for /data and there is probably no ROM without INT2SD that would work on it properly. It was made so that the largest part of Desire's internal memory can be used for quick access to vital system files by storing them in /system instead of symlinking them to /sd-ext, therefore slowing the entire system down. There is still plenty of space for your apps if you make a large enough SD ext partition, since SD ext gets mounted to /data and the real, 5 MB mtd5 userdata partition goes unused. So, /data on SD ext, huge /system and no symlinks! Before flashing a Sense INT2SD ROM, make sure you have flashed the fatsys HBOOT!​

General Q&A:
(Q) Can I show support for the developer of this awesome Rom.?
(A) Look at the top of the Original Post (#1) and use the donate button. Consider how much time and resources have gone into this awesome rom.
(Q) What's so "Special" about the new Special Editions?
(A) Where do we start? It uses the 1st of its kind touch screen Aroma Installer which detects your HBOOT version, allows you to select which apps to install, select which storage system you want to use and all done with a beautiful and simple user interface. Not forgetting the fully functioning Sense 3.5 launcher with RCTeam Tweaks, a super slick response and choice of working camera's, social networking and Beats sound enhancement.

Known errors and faults Q&A:
(Q) Is there a fix for occasional screen freeze or stall during calls?
(A) This has been reported by a few. There have been people testing new HBOOT versions, updating radios, re-formatting SDcards or replacing them. One user has fixed his in-call freeze issue by flashing Bravo Data++ hboot from http://alpharev.nl
I will update this regularly as results start to come in.
(Q) My phone is giving me low memory warnings – Help!
(A) There are two possible reasons:
1. If you are using AD2SD and haven’t moved the Dalvik to the SD Card it can be taking up a lot of room in the phone.
2. All apps, even when they are on the SD Card due to AD2SDX, still have some component in the phone; eventually the phone memory will become low. Test this by getting Cache Cleaner from the market and use it to clear the cache and see if the low memory warnings stop. If you can’t install Cache Cleaner because memory is too low, boot into recovery, clear the Cache (but NOT the Dalvik cache) and then reboot. Then try installing the Cache Cleaner app.
(Q) My battery seems to die when the display still shows 20% (amount varies)
(A) This happens with some kernels, but not others; mainly snq-'s kernel is affected by this issue. Try flashing another kernel to see if the problem goes away.
Other than that, make sure your battery is properly calibrated. Clear the battery stats as follows:
- Power off the phone and fully charge it until the led is green.
- Turn the phone on for a couple of minutes until the battery indicator drops from 100% to 99%.
- Power off the phone again and charge it again while watching. As soon as the led turns green proceed to the next step.
- Unplug the charger, boot the phone into Recovery mode and reset (or wipe) the battery stats.
- Reboot and continue to use as normal.
(Q) After an install my phone seems to constantly sync.... whats up?
(A) That issue has been tracked down to Facebook live feeds. Try uninstalling Facebook for Sense and installing Facebook for Android available free from the market. Or go unto settings>accounts & sync, select Facebook and uncheck live feed. (It'll be the one with the spinning sync next to it)
(Q) I get an error ”can’t Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File Exists)”.
(A) That error and others like it are generally caused by a corrupt ext partition on your SD Card. The solution is to use 4EXT recovery, gParted, or a similar tool to reformat the ext partition to ext4. Leave the FAT32 partition alone and you shouldn’t lose any data. Don't use Windows-based partition tools!
Some suggest using ext3 as it is a known quantity and most ROMS will boot with an ext3 partition, however Runnymede AIO requires an ext4 partition.
(Q) When I boot up I get a "UID Inconsistent" warning. What can I do?
(A) If that displays, press "I'm feeling lucky". Then open root explorer and look at: /data/system/uiderrors.txt It should give you the information which apps are corrupted. Uninstall them, reboot and reinstall.
(Q) I've just installed the ROM and I can't boot back into recovery.
(A) Make sure Fastboot is not checked. You can find that option in Settings>Power. If it's unchecked, you should be able to get into recovery.
(Q) Beats doesn't seem to work.
(A) Check if RCMix3D Tweaks>Misc Options>Beats Boost is checked. Start the player with headphones plugged in; it can take up to 10 secs for music to play. Once started the music will pause when headphones are removed. Hit play again and it will continue, though you won't benefit from the bass boost through the built-in speaker.
Alternatively, ditch Beats and select DSP Manager from the ROM installation menu. If offers more control over the sound and a better bass boost!
(Q) Why can't I connect to my PC with the USB?
(A) Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Settings>Applications>Development. If it is, the USB symbol should display in the header bar when the lead is connected. If it still doesn't display, you might need to install up-to-date drivers on your PC.
(Q) The volume seems too loud/quiet... Can I fix it?
(A) Two methods:
- Easy one: go into RCtweaks>System tab>Enable/Disable Commands>Enable Xloud. Make sure WiFi is on!
- Not so easy one: follow the addons link in the second post. Download RunnyMede_Loud.zip to increase basic volume or RunnyMede_No_Loud.zip to turn down volume. Drop the zip to your SD card and boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and select the zip from SD to install.
(Q) I've installed everything and I keep getting a boot loop on first startup.
(A) Make sure the installer detects the correct version for your HBOOT (stock or CM7/r2). Another common reason is people installing AD2SDX on the stock HBOOT version. It WILL NOT WORK. Wipe everything and install again but this time select "generic A2SD" in the installer.
(Q) I see comments about excessive battery drain. How bad is it?
(A) For me and many others, its not bad at all. I get 36+ hours moderate use from a single charge. There are a few who report losing 1% every minute.... and despite changing radios, formatting sdcard, disabling WiFi etc. they see no improvement. It varies from device to device.
However, always consider that Sense 3.5 is a heavy program and was never designed for the Desire hardware. There are so many variables, like signal strength, background apps, brightness levels... it's impossible to guarantee how long the battery will last with any one individual setup.
Always make sure your battery is calibrated before reporting bad battery life (scroll up for the recommended calibration method).

Installation Q&A:
(Q) Do I absolutely need to install a touch-enabled recovery to use AIO SE versions?
(A) No. You can still use your existing recovery. Scroll up and down using volume keys or track button. However, it is recommended that you install 4EXT Recovery, which is designed for the desire. It has all the usual recovery features, as well as a partition tool and touch screen control version. Installing a new ROM will never be the same again.
(Q) How do I know which version to install?
(A) That's easy. The new Aroma Installer checks your phones internal storage partition size to see which HBOOT version you are running. It will then install the correct version. This has been tweaked to allow a more accurate detection but please feel free to post your query if this is wrong for you. Download "Quick System Info" free from the market and quote internal/external storage for any queries.
(Q) I've installed the ROM and it's booting up, but all I'm seeing is a the boot animation. How long should it take?
(A) I have seen users reporting the 1st boot take over 20 minutes, so be patient. If it's still not running after 25 mins, personally I'd pull the battery and try a reboot - but that's just me, and I wouldn't direct anyone to do the same. Worst case scenario is you do a full wipe and try the install again; you won't have lost anything if you made a backup before you started.
(Q) It says in the OP it states do a full wipe when going from old to new base... what versions are we talking about?
(A) As a rule, a jump in version like v3.0 to v4.0 is a new base and requires a full system, boot, cache and dalvik wipe. Anyone updating a version (ie v3.1 to v3.2) only need to do a partial wipe (explained in more detail below). Reformatting your SD is optional but may cut down on compatability problems.
(Q) Do I need to do a full wipe every time I flash a newer version.?
(A) If you are installing a simple rom update (e.g. v3.0.3 to v3.0.4), then a simple cache and dalvik cache wipe is ok. If, however, you are going from an earlier base to the latest one (e.g. v3.0.x to v4.0.x), you should always wipe system, boot, cache and dalvik. Reformatting your SD is optional but may cut down on compatability problems. Note that there are times when a full wipe will be necessary even inbetween new base releases; read the install instructions carefully.
(Q) How do I need to setup my memory card?
(A) The desired partition layout is:
- Main storage: fat32 primary partition
- Minimum 1024MB ext4 primary partition (max 1.5GB, there have been problems with bigger ext4 partitions)
- Zero swap partition
GParted seems to be the tool of choice, Alpharev CWM recovery works but I'd suggest 4EXT Recovery which has a good partition tool built in. I have done a full picture guide on SD card partitions available here. Don't read this and then install a 2GB ext4 partition with 5MB swap, and then complain because your phone's acting up!
(Q) How and when should I wipe?
(A) Wiping between ROM flashes is always a good idea, but can sometimes be very inconvenient, so here are some general guidelines to follow.
When the Android version changes, you will always need to do a full wipe, and if you change from one type of ROM to another, again a full wipe is required. If you are upgrading to the latest version of your current ROM (as long as the Android version hasn't changed) you will only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache. See below for some examples.
- Moving from CM7 to RunnyMede AIO - full wipe required!
- Upgrading from RunnyMede v3.0.2 to RunnyMede v3.0.3 - full wipe not required!
- Upgrading from RunnyMede v3.0.3 to RunnyMede v4.0.1 - full wipe required!
The recommended method of wiping is again in recovery and not through ROM Manager. The use of superwipe.zip files is not recommended either. Before doing any wipes, make sure you have done all of your backups!
There are 2 different types of recovery that most people will be using: CWM or 4EXT. The instructions below tell you how to do a full wipe.
Clockworkmod Recovery: First of all, select wipe data/factory reset, then go in to mounts and storage and select format /cache, format/data, format /system. Then head into advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
4EXT Recovery: Head in to Wipe / Format and select wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data, format cache and format boot. The latest 4EXT recoveries also have a "Format all partitions (except SDcard" option which does it all in a single click.
(Q) Whats the difference between Odexed and DeOdexed roms?
(A) Its complicated and a Google search is the best advice. These are the basics: a deodexed ROM has all the files neatly arranged in blocks, each block doing its own thing. This is easy to theme as everything needed is in the one apk folder.
In odexed ROMs, the files arranged in a different way, so common shared parts may already be open when you go to start the application. In theory this is quicker; however, you are reliant on a fast SD card to benefit fully. The downside is theming as the file structure means that certain necessary files will be shared with other system apps.
Note that older versions of Runnymede were offered in odexed and deodexed variants, but the new version isn't anymore.

Customization Q&A:
(Q) Where can I get Arabic support?
(A) XDA member docnasef has put together a package for you. Here is a link to the post with zip attachment. This gives you Arabic / Hebrew support in messages, sms, mail, and browser, with correct RTL.
(Q) Can I customize the notification bar?
(A) Yes. You can make changes in Menu>Settings>RCMix3D Tweaks>Settings.
Alternatively, there are flashable zips in the addons section of the OP.
If there is nothing you want from that selection, why not "cook" your own in the online kitchen. Many thanks to angusc for his quick guide here.
(Q) Why won't my UOT modifications work? After installing, none of them (or only some of them) show up!
(A) This is almost always down to the location of the system files (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk). In the stock and CM7r2 versions of the ROM, these files are in different places, which is important for UOT mods.
- SystemUI.apk is located in /sd-ext/app_s/ for both stock and CM7r2 HBOOT.
- Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk are in /system/framework/ for stock HBOOT, and /sd-ext/framework_s/ for CM7r2 HBOOT.
Depending on which HBOOT version you have, you need to select the location of these files in the UOT Kitchen (in the File Upload tab); otherwise your modified system files will be installed to the wrong location, and they won't work!
For a more detailed explanation about how to apply UOT Kitchen modifications for this ROM, check out this guide by angusc. Many thanks to him!
(Q) Can I use SetCPU or similar to control the CPU instaed of the Daemon OC which is pre-installed?
(A) Yes, but be warned... as soon as you install another clock control tool like SetCPU, it will be detected on startup and over-ride Daemon OC Controller. Daemon Controller is recognized as the best for your phone, reacting to screen on/off a lot quicker than a Java app so will be more efficient. If you want SetCPU because you can see time in state (a feature not included in Daemon Controller) why not install CPU Spy (free) from the market?

I only tried Cools Runnymede rom...
This one feels much smoother to me, i was struggling yesterday trying to make Cools version to work properly but couldnt get it done, obviously sebastian did
i'll try this rom , does the ultra smooth rosie work with this rom?
greetz
I didnt try it but i guess part of the tweaking made by sebastian includes replacing the Rosie.apk, but thats for him to answer as im just guessing...

[DEV][2012/08/29] Multiboot v0.8

So I created a new thread for this so I can edit the first post for release-info.
This is the old thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133866
Please note that the multiboot-feature will be removed if you update your real system.
The virtual systems will stay on the sdcard so just reinstall the mod and you can boot your virtual systems again
Changelog:
Code:
[B]v0.8:[/B]
- addon.d (Multiboot will be kept on ROM-Update)
- working reboot recovery inside multiboot-rom(will boot directly into the recovery for that rom)
- working reboot into bootmenu inside multiboot-rom
- security-fixes
- TLS-support
- fixed sdcard-problems for NAND-system
[B]v0.7:[/B]
- added integration in touchbootmenu. This is no compatibility-patch - since now multiboot can only be used in combination with touchbootmenu
[B]v0.6.1:[/B]
- fixed some memory-leaks in kernel-module
- fixed stupid bug which prevented creating backups on first start
[B]v0.6:[/B]
- new hook-method with kernel-side code which should be the solution to most rom-problems
- fixed a bug which prevented mounting cache-partition inside recovery
- fixed installer-bug when TouchBootmenu is used on NAND
- reboot to recovery/bootmenu does not work for now. will be fixed in future
[B]v0.5.5:[/B]
- support for Stock-roms with Greenbreadmod
- added version-file(for updater which comes soon)
[B]v0.5.4:[/B]
- fixed problem with install-script
[B]v0.5.3:[/B]
- support for TWRP recovery
- fixed problem with virtual systems with names longer than 9 chars
- don't change 2ndBoot-script for bootmenus with 2ndSystem-support
- show graphical error-message when error was detected and copy log to "/cache/multiboot/error.log"
- experimental support for booting stock-roms
[B]v0.5.2:[/B]
- more configurable(via config-file)
- fixed error-detection. On early errors you will get back to bootmenu
- fix boot-problems for some roms
[B]v0.5.1:[/B]
- fixed crash of GUI when choosing recovery
- fixed bug which prevented creating important images on first boot
- virtual systems now are using nand-backups with real data so you could install backups of virtual systems on NAND
- installer sets default bootmode to 2nd-boot
- added recovery-option for NAND
- patch background-image of virtual recovery so you see if you are flashing real or virtual system
- reboot system if you click "Go Back" in virtual recovery(until I found a solution for going back to multiboot-GUI)
[B]v0.5:[/B]
- better protection against unwanted changes on real partitions(thanks wizwin)
- fix Phone for for GB-kernel(thanks quarx)
- set props so apps can detect if phone started with multiboot or not(for future versions of multiboot-manager)
- reboot into bootmenu/recovery now works
ATTENTION: reboot into recovery will open recovery for REAL system!!!
- added GUI for choosing which (virtual) system you want to boot
[B]v0.4:[/B]
- replacing all references to real system with stub-image(will be automatically created at /sdcard/fsimage/stub.img).
Now the recovery for the virtual system should be completely abstracted and it shouldn't make any changes to the real system
- a PDS-backup will be created and injected because it's needed by android-system and above change removes the reference
[B]v0.3/v0.3.1:[/B]
- moving original system-partition to another location instead of lazy unmount so she will be accessible in 2ndBoot-system and will not be busy
- fixed recovery to improve installer-zip compatibility. MIUI works now
- internal script-changes
[B]v0.2:[/B]
- "Install zip from SDcard" works now
- changed hook-method so it works with more ROM's(including ICS)
[B]v0.1:[/B]

Installation:
1. Download zip-file and copy to sdcard
2. create 3 filesystem-images in ext3-format and copy them to /sdcard/multiboot/NAME with the names system.img, data.img and cache.img.
Please replace NAME with the folder-name of your virtual system(you have to create this)
You can download ready-to-use images from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/VY3U4IXRO1
2. install zip-file in CWM
Some info:
- The menu-entry "Lastest Recovery" is no longer supported and will affect your real system!
- boot the System-Chooser with the 2ndBoot-option in bootmenu
Bugs:
- Data-Wipe deletes android_secure
Donate:
Developing Multiboot makes much fun and I really like the results but takes much time, so feel free to donate a beer.
Hey,
i have no "Lastest Recovery" but a "Custom Recovery"
Can i install your script or does it not work with this version of the Bootmenu?
Which rom do you have installed?
I will check if it's compatible.
Thanks for the fast answer
i installed the CM7.2 Nightly "cm72-111125.0850-NIGHTLY-Defy"
The nightlys should always have the newest version of bootmenu.
Where you downloaded the nightly? I only could find "cm72-111123.1710-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip".
But generally it would work if you install but the problem is that you will never be able to change your real system because recovery will only make changes to the virtual one.
That bootmenu has 2 recovery-entrys is a lucky thing which I use as trick so I don't need to modify bootmenu
But when bootmenu-integration is done and you have an old version you will have to update bootmenu.
updated to v0.4
See first post for more info
Gonna try this now. I downloaded your empty .img files but how do I create my own img's on Win7? And what do you think is the smallest size I can make them safely to use with MIUI or ICS?
I don't know how you can create the images on windows, sry.
Maybe I can write a little App which does this directly on Android.
I have to admit that the images I uploaded are a little bit oversized.
system needs max 200MB
cache and data depends on your usage.
I would choose a minimum of 100MB for data and cache. If you plan to install many Apps you should make the data-partition over 300-500MB
Doesn't matter, instructions for Linux would do too
Hmm..oversized but no prob downloading because they were empty, only transferring via USB takes time. 200 MB for system and data and 100 for cache sounds good I'll make them myself if you can give me the instructions, I have Ubuntu.
App to do this on the phone itself sounds good, makes it even faster, no transferring from PC Thanks for your work
The Problem is that I can't find a mkfs.ext3-binary for Android
Maybe I'll extract it from another phone which contains this.
But as of now, here are the instructions:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./system.img bs=1000000 count=200
mkfs.ext3 ./system.img
The number 200 specifies the size in MegaBytes. I hope this will help you so far
Sure does
But like the poster above said, CM7 latest nightiles contain Custom Recovery, Stable Recovery, and Stock Recovery in the Bootmenu option for recovery. So Custom Recovery = Latest Recovery for your tool? I remember it used to say Latest recovery a few months back, dunno when that changed.
Oh, now I unsterstand what he wants to say.
I thought there is ONLY "custom recovery".
But if there are two recovery's it's ok to install. So you can use "Custom Recovery" for your virtual filesystem.
I'm downloading the CM7-source so I can extend and compile bootmenu and everything will be easier.
But with a download-speed of 170KiB/s this will take a long time
How fast is the virtual system? Could it be laggy because it is loaded from the sd-card?
the time from bootmenu to the boot-process itself takes a little bit time sometimes if I'm debugging.
But normally the booted system is in normal speed for me.
I think this depends on the speed of your sd-card and the usage of your apps.

What class brand capacity card do you use?
I'll be trying with miui and ics tonight
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I don't know which class my card is because there is no label. It's completely black
But I don't think I have the best one(maybe class 2 or something else?)
An APP for windows to create ext-3 partitions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154
download link: http://www.multiupload.com/SV7SOY33MQ
I have a 8GB class 4 card. Will test it in a few minutes with CM7 as real system and ICS as virtual system. Do you know what happen if I restore a backup in the real system? As far as I know a backup will override the bootmenu, too. Or am I wrong?
Yes, that will override the bootmenu.
But your virtual system stays on the sdcard.
You just need to patch again bootmenu with the downloaded "defy_multiboot_vX".
I'm on CM7 latest nightly and got boot loop when i tried to install Galnet MIUI ICS on virtual system. Could you fix it?

To all Hyperion users,
I got a message from our moderator regarding reports that Hyperion 7's zip package contains root explorer which is a paid app. During testing I added RootExplorer to make debugging init.d scripts easier. Due to excitement and demand for the new build, I forgot to remove RootExplorer and accidentally uploaded a zip package that contains this paid app. Starting today, link to Hyperion will be disabled until a new build is ready. Sorry for the inconvenience and my apologies to Speed Software Developers.
Thanks and Regards,
Carl

The blue circle on the right corner of the status bar indicates that the system is busy (performing media scan, staring services etc etc).
In some cases (if flashed via CWM), the status bar might remain in "busy mode" until you restart your device.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE STUCK IN BOOT LOGO? -IF IT STAYS THERE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. IF THAT'S THE CASE, TRY RE-FLASHING THE ROM OR FLASH STOCK ROM FIRST VIA ODIN BEFORE HYPERION :highfive:​
Installation Troubleshooting Guide
​INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
​In the past days, as we have observed, there had been installation issues for new and existing users. We know how annoying it is to get a bootloop, installation aborted and many installation related problem, so here you go, I will put every single scenario that had been reported and the best solution to install the best (according to users) rom when it comes to performance and style :victory:
Whenever I flash a new build, I have this "one-shot-install" method I am keeping. This one works whether you are jumping from one kernel to another. The one-shot-install step is:
Flash stock via Odin (Recommended)
Format SD Card to remove any unwanted files, orphaned data from previous ROM and of course, junk files.
Copy Hyperion zip package to sd card
Reboot to CWM using TempCWM if you are on stock ROM, or the built in CWM from savie's kernel if you are a previous Hyperion user and skipped flashing stock via Odin
Go to Mounts and Storage and mount /system, /data, /cache and sdcard
After mounting, Go back to main menu using the power button
Navigate to Advance (Advanced and Debugging)
Select Wipe dalvik-cache -this helps you avoid bootloops
Select Wipe batterystats -this ensures your battery gauge gets re-calibrated on first boot
After doing wiping dalvik and battstats, Go back to main menu using the power button
Select Wipe data/reset
Select Wipe cache
After doing data and cache wipe, select install update from sdcard
Select zip from sd card
Select Hyperion zip pacakage and install
Wait for the system to complete installation, it will take 2-5 minutes (maximum) to complete installation
Reboot your device
BELOW ARE THE REPORTED SCENARIOS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES WHY INSTALLATION FAILS​ COMMON FAILED INSTALLATION SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I flashed Hyperion after flashing stock rom via Odin but every time I use Temp CWM and try to flash Hyperion, it goes back to stock recovery. No error is shown on recovery"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Incomplete download.
HOW TO AVOID:
Use a MD5 Sum checker. You can ask our dear friend Google for any md5 sum checker, it's free and it is usually less than 1 MB to download. Always make sure your zip package is intact and complete.
QUICK GUIDE TO CHECKING MD5 SUM:
Open your MD5 checker
Select the Hyperion package you downloaded
Paste the MD5 sum value from the download page in DevHost (MD5 Sum: c8a0b092b53165db700943ba72b885d3)
If it matches, then that means the zip package you have is intact and complete​SCENARIO 2:
"I can't flash Hyperion via stock or CWM, it shows installation aborted"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Bad or damaged zip package
HOW TO AVOID:
Check the md5 sum and make sure your zip package is not damaged. If it is damaged, md5 checker will show you MD5 Hash Sum mismatch.​SCENARIO 3:
I flashed Hyperion but nothing happened, I still have stock rom or previous custom rom
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
/system, /data, /cache partitions were not mounted in CWM prior to installation
HOW TO AVOID:
Super duper hyper mega easy; Go to Mounts and Storage and make sure they are all mounted​BOOT LOOP SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I am using a custom rom and I flashed Hyperion on top of it without flashing stock via Odin. After flashing, my device goes to endless boot loop. My previous custom rom includes a custom kernel"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Custom kernel (boot.img) from previous ROM
HOW TO AVOID:
The safest way to install a custom rom (in this scenario, Hyperion) on a device running a different custom rom with custom kernel is to revert back to stock rom first because jumpring from one kernel to another will surely cause boot loops. That is why we always recommend flashing stock rom first before flashing Hyperion.​STUCK AT BOOT LOGO SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I am using a custom rom with repencis kernel or merruk kernel prior to flashing Hyperion. After flashing Hyperion, I am stuck on boot logo (the samsung galaxy y blah blah screen)."
+
Same scenario above but; "I flashed stock rom via odin, but every time I do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, it shows me error mounting rfs blah blah"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Both repencis and merruk are known to convert your device's File System (FS) to EXT4. If your device's file system is EXT4 and not RFS (Robust File System), flashing Hyperion will fail, but boot.img (kernel) will be flashed.
SYMPTOMS OF EMMC FORMATTED TO EXT4:
CWM cannot mount /system but all partitions can be mounted
Stock recovery cannot do data and cache wipe
HOW TO AVOID/FIX:
Given your phone is already formatted to EXT4, there is nothing you can do but to repartition your device's EMMC (the chip where we install the device's OS) using Odin.
But remember I have written "but boot.img (kernel) will be flashed"? This will help you in solving this kind of issue.
Please keep in mind that this issue is not a problem with Hyperion rom, if CWM and Stock recovery cannot mount your /system partition, no custom rom can be successfully installed on your device.
Now this is the work around . . .
Since boot.img will always be flashed, that means if the kernel on the rom you are installing have CWM installed, then you will have CWM as recovery.
Now that's a good news because your default recovery now is CWM, and you can use it to format partitions back to its default file system. Follow the steps below:
Remove the battery of your device
Press the recovery key combination to boot into recovery
If you are lucky, you will be able to reboot to CWM (given you flashed Hyperion)
Once you are in recovery, Go to mounts and storage and format /system, /data and /cache
Once format is successful, reboot recovery using the "Reboot recovery" option
After rebooting recovery, mount the partitions and try flashing Hyperion again.
Wireless and Networking Troubleshooting Guide
WIRELESS AND NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE​WIFI ISSUE(S)
WIFI ISSUE 1:
WiFi gets disconnected once phone is locked or the display turns off​
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Okay, don't panic. This is not a bug. This behavior is the one responsible why you save battery even if you don't turn off your WiFi radio and this is called WiFi Sleep Policy.
HOW TO AVOID:
Currently Hyperion have 3 WiFi policies available in Settings Tab > Wireless and Network > WiFi Settings > Advanced > WiFi sleep policy.​
WiFi Sleep Policies:
When screen turns off - if selected, wifi will turn off automatically when the screen turns off (obviously)
Never when plugged in - if selected, wifi will not turn off automatically when connected via AC or USB port and is getting power from either AC or USB.
Never - if selected, wifi will never turn off automatically - default setting in stock roms
WIFI ISSUE 2:
WiFI cannot connect to any wireless hot spot and/or wireless networks
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Still UNKNOWN. The dev team are thinking that only production specific GT-S5360 devices are affected with this issue.
Based on user feedback, we are in conclusion that the following might be causing the problem:
Savie's special built kernel for Hyperion
Netforks Tweak
Mother of Host
HOW TO AVOID:
Currently, we have the following fix but not all or even none of the below suggestion may fix the problem depending on your SGY.
A simple reboot will fix the WiFi connection problem
Flashing your device's radio image (baseband) via Odin will fix the problem
Removing NetForks tweak will fix the problem
Removing Mother of Host may fix the problem
QUICK GUIDE TO FLASHING BASEBAND
Open Odin and locate the firmware files for your device
Connect your device to computer using USB Data Cable (USB Cable)
On the PHONE field, locate the MODEM file for your device
Click start to start flashing BASEBAND
NOTE:
You will only flash the PHONE file​
QUICK GUIDE TO REMOVING NETFORKS TWEAK
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc/init.d
Delete 04netforks_tweak
Using root explorer, navigate to data/
Delete droidfolks folder
Reboot your device
INTERNET ISSUE(S)​INTERNET ISSUE 1:
Cannot open websites and or cannot surf the web​
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Mother of all Hosts​
For some reason, most of the website that can't load on any browser are website like mediafire, 4shared and other file hosting sites which what they have in common are ADs, Popups, Counters and Surveys. Since MOH is blocking these type of web activities, some webpages may not load. Specially those sites that are configured not to load when their advertisements are disabled by either the browser or internet connection.​
HOW TO AVOID: Thanks to Dr.oidbio for pointing this out​
OPTION 1​
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc​
Replace hosts file with any hosts file from stock or other custom roms​
Reboot your device​
OPTION 2:
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc
Open hosts file with text editor and edit the content
Delete everything except​
Code:
[LEFT]#
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local[/LEFT]
Reboot your device​​CONFIRMED WORKING FIX​​REPORTED BY: AlvaroOrduna
Therefore, I set to work and I solved the Wifi issue (obviously with your helpful guides). So that I wanted to share with you the procedure to solve the problem. Here are the steps I took:​1. Delete 04netforks_tweak from system/etc/init.d
2. Delete droidfolks folder from data/
3. Edit the hosts file in system/etc deleting all except:#
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local​4. Reflash baseband via Odin
It should be mentioned that I do these steps on flashing zip. I mean, I edit the ROM in the computer and then I install it following the steps in INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE. Everything else works fine, but in the future I will continue to watch to see how the phone behaves. If something goes wrong and you do not mind, I will report it.​​

TRANSLATING HYPERION​TOOLS YOU NEED:
Any apk tool for decompiling and recompiling like APK Tools, APK Manager and APK Changer Alpha 11 - APK Manager and APK Changer Alpha 11 are the one I'm using. Take note, it's alpha 11, not the latest version of APK Changer.
Notepad++ - a GNU editor you can download from HERE
WHERE TO GET THEM:
APK Multitool - http://apkmultitool.com
APK Changer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189971
APK Tools - I don't know where to get it. Ask dear Google.​HOW TO SETUP YOUR TOOLS:
I advice you use APK Changer as it has an automated setup where you can configure this tool as you install it.
Follow the installation/setup steps for the tool of you choice
After that look for C:\Users\<User>\apktool\framework folder. Ex: C:\Users\Carl\apktool\framework
Take framework-res.apk and rename it to 1.apk
Take twframework-res.apk and rename it to 2.apk
Copy 1.apk and 2.apk to C:\Users\<User>\apktool\framework
HOW TO TRANSLATEPREPARE APKS
In this example, we will modify Settings.apk and translate it to Spanish language.
Take Settings.apk from stock ROM that supports Spanish and rename it to Settings-ES. If your language is not Spanish, then of course you need to take Settings.apk from stock rom for you region which support your language.
Take Settings.apk from Hyperion. You don't need to rename it. Leave it as it is.
DECOMPILE APKS
Once you have all the needed APKS for modding, place it inside the folder designated by the tool you're using for decompiling. In this example I am using APK Changer, so I will put Settings.apk and Settings-ES.apk to C:\Apk-Changer_alpha11\place-files-here-for-modding folder
Open your tool, in this case it is APK Changer. If you installed this already prior to preparing APKS, then you should have the main menu where you have the option to decompile/compile.
Decompile both Settings-ES.apk and Settings.apk
TRANSLATE/ADD ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO APK
After decompiling apk, look for the "values" folder inside the decompiled APK. In this case I use APK Changer so I will navigate to C:\Apk-Changer_alpha11\out\Settings\res
You should to the same for Settings-ES and open it in another folder so you can view both folders side-by-side
You can simply take "values-es" folder from Settings.apk and copy it to Settings\res
After copying folder, open Settings\res\strings and add the values present in Settings.apk's res\values\strings.xml to "values-es" folder.
After that, compile your APK and now you have a translated version of APK.
Do this for every app you want to be translated.
OF COURSE MOST OF US ARE LAZY AND ONLY KIND ENOUGH TO TRANSLATE, SO I'LL POST HERE THE FILES YOU NEED TO EDIT AND TRANSLATE AND IF I HAVE TIME AND I AM NOT FEELING LIKE A LAZY MONKEY, I WILL BE THE ONE TO COMPILE THE APK FOR YOU.​NOTE:
Only strings.xml and arrays.xml values needs translation. You only need to translate values inside
Code:
<string name="[COLOR=Red][B]alert_mesage_recipients[/B][/COLOR]">[COLOR=SeaGreen][B]Alert message recipients[/B][/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR=Red][B]text_you_should_not_translate[/B][/COLOR]">[COLOR=SeaGreen][B]Text you should translate[/B][/COLOR]</string>
Example:
<string name="alert_mesage_recipients">Alert message recipients</string>
You will translate "Alert message recipients"
You should NOT translate "alert_mesage_recipients"
Translated example:
<string name="alert_mesage_recipients">Alerta destinatarios del mensaje</string>​GET FILES HERE

🔥 READ ME FIRST [FAQ][HTC][PICO/EXPLORER][a310e]🔥

"Those, who fail to read history are bound to repeat its mistakes"
People here have and did and will fail to read the things here and many did and many probably will have to lose their devices. You don't have to lose a device to get knowledge inbetween your ears.You don't have to be stupid. You surely can learn from your mistakes. But There's a better way. You can learn from others mistakes. This thread is a compilation of such mistakes ,that I personally have done and many others ,who did and their solutions aka The easy ways.
So, officially I congratulate you for finding this thread and reading Upto here. So, even if you don't read the whole thread, these are the main stuff you must know is
1. Rooting is a dangerous process -done by developers only. If you did root your device, you assume full responsibility for your device. So, if you can't think like one of the developers at least partly, I suggest you don't root your device ,coz when you mess up, the one who deviced the procedure or Rom will not help you. And everything you find here is in "AS IS " tag.
2.If you have rooted, next thing you must do is backup-
Go to recovery,
go to backup and restore
click backup.
I find it strange that this is not included in the root procedure. This surely would've helped a lot of Picos out there.
3.NEVER DO A RUU
-It unanimously holds the number ONE title for the major causes of bricking of Picos.
Trust me -Surely you can save your device, without the ruu. And with ruu, you're bound to fail without proper knowledge and research.
The only time you are suggested by experts to do a ruu is when you have already done a ruu "and" bricked it.
4. Overclocking here may cause burnt nand. -know what Rom you're using-it may have built in-overclock .
However, overclocking doesn't necessarily produce burnt-nand for all devices.
5.Finally, Not all answers you receive in the question and answer thread are good. Some answers will kill your device. So please judge the credibility of the answerer before you follow the answers. Generally, you could track back their previous answers and their working. Thanks meter is a good source of credibility -but not always -Not all who have big thanks record are helpful neither are they knowledgeable-There are spammers, who trick people into giving thanks.Do your home work before you trust a stranger. Recognized developer title is a good source of credibility.
The above five should save you a lot of trouble.
Ever in trouble? Drop by and read.
Do your googling,if you don't understand anything here.Have a great time !

twrp official - some problems with ext4 partition has been reported and also reported to have been fixed. -I never had the problem before and after and I recommend this one 2.5 present here in xda.
twrp cute prince has issues restoring backups (problem with symlink )
5.what's the difference between them?
cwm5 - complete backups of all partitions
twrp - support compressed backups /file manager and other great things
cwm6 - your SD ext partitions will not be fully backed up during subsequent backups,but only the changed files greatly reducing the size of subsequent backups
6. Can you explain more about cwm ?

8. How to flash a recovery?
Two methods described in detail in link above by bhargz16 ~ fast boot
Flash from phone:
Required:
Flash_image binary
You can flash any recovery
From terminal using
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You need recovery.img (renamed like that ) present in /sdcard itself
9. Error while restoring .Androidsecure /sdext ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39874898
10. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.

The nothing really bugs list
Welcome to THE "NOTHING REALLY" BUGS™
This is the official nothing really bugs Pico web post at xda. Its name implies that the bugs present are really nothing to some people. But to the rest, it may bother a lot. So, this post.
Here you'll find most of the nothing really bugs. All statements having "Nothing really " in bugs list directs here. This is to inform new flashers of what they'll get and what they won't. To make the facts clear,so that you won't have to flash every Rom to find out all the nothing really™ bugs. After all, this is a newbie friendly thread.
Please note that though every effort has been taken to ensure an exhaustive list of all the bugs .Some may not have been stated here .If you do find a bug, which isn't stated here, please feel free to mention it here and I'll add it after being personally confirmation by me or two to three renowned senior member witnesses.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
/DATA (150 MB )
1.WHat's this?
It is the internal memory
2.Why is it important?
Because this is the place where all the apps go
No /data = no more apps
3.what's our available internal memory?
150 MB
User available 90 MB
4. Any way to increase internal memory?
By scripts
5 .Recommended apps to diagnose application not installed
Diskusage app
Log cat
6. What does a app contain?
App when installed splits into apk dex,and data(lib+data) files
Go back to main ^|^
Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
SCRIPTS
Before we start, a app when installed takes space as three parts.
They are apk,dex and data (lib+app data)
All scripts work by symlinking
1. What are the scripts available for our explorer?
Partial scripts
A.Link2SD app
Moves apk,dex,lib~doesn't move app data
B.Root data2SD app
Need ext partitions
Moves application data2 ext
Full scripts--Need init.d support able to move fully /partially as per requirements
Links available in index
1.Mount2SD
Download from play store or from here check index
Famous for it's stability and frequent updates

2. Int2ext
As per script, moves partially /fully .
Has a large user base

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31915607
1.1 mount2SD doesn't work? Script not executed fully @ boot?
Flash kernel 2.6 from above and you should be good to go.
2. How do I increase internal memory (literally ) from 150 MB to 2GB(for example SD ext )?
Use mount2SD reverse mount
Use int2ext
Side effects:
As per Android rules, 10% of internal memory will be unavailable
So, 200 MB out of 2GB SD ext will be unavailable
Mount2SD also has normal moving methods ,which will make Android think you'll have 150MB but you can fill up 2GB inside of 150 MB (Here 10% would mean 15 MB)
3. I installed d2ext/similar ,I'm not able to install more apps ,even though I have more SD ext space?.
A. First make sure you don't hit 10% data limit described above
B. Use diskusage app to determine,which partitions are full
For example- some scripts don't move dalvik and so dalvik will fully accumulate in /data creating no space.
C. Fix permissions from recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
4. My Rom doesn't have init.d support /I'm using stock Rom?
Check index
You can add init.d support by
Flashing custom kernel (cranium)
Flashing scripts to make init.d support (or pimp my Rom app[not tested])
5. Where to add scripts before flashing Rom?
Add it in /system/etc/init.d (permissions are rwx rwx rwx ,if you're adding this in recovery after flashing )
For mount2SD add configurations folder in /data/m2sd.
6. How to migrate from link2SD to mount2SD?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38840247
7. Is there a full script so that I can use both my internal memory and SD ext?
A bit complicated, but this what I use...
Configure mount2SD
To move both apk and dalvik
Don't move data.
Then open titanium backup to move app data
@First move one app data to create data2SD directory.. then you can batch move whatever apps you think fit.
But please make sure you have at least 10 to 30 MB in /data and in/SD ext (SD ext not necessarily ) before a nandroid backup. Otherwise restoreS will not work.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
Common issues with scripts:
0. Device stuck @ HTC logo with 4 error icons on all four corners
Since you flashed an ruu and failed user data fail etc.
Unlock bootloader if possible
Flash twrp recovery again
Code:
fastboot flash recovery.img
Then go to recovery with this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
Now that you're in recovery wipe everything, format everything .
If flashing failed /you can't enter recovery, do this keeping twrp recovery.img in /SDcard
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/recovery.img
Do cute prince recovery procedure shown in burnt nand section
Flash erase mtd3 as well
Now Flash your Rom and boot
If it doesn't boot, repeat the whole procedure above and now
Do ruu.
If all the above failed,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39181288
Read the above thread fully. That's the last resort.
Moral : Don't ever Flash an RUU (if you haven't already )
You can Flash stock Rom ~safer
1. Device struck in HTC logo
Wait for 15 minutes
Try pulling out battery and reboot
Update busybox and try installing scripts again
Convert your partition to ext3
Change your kernel to 2.6
2. Mount2SD ~apps update after every boot?
Turn cache off in app
Turn safe mode off
Clear cache and dalvik ~fix permissions ~reboot
Common issues after flashing:
1. I get status 7 error?
Open archive with Bluetooth file manager and check archive integrity
Try different compression method(thanks hpsgill)
Delete system apps
2. I get status 0 error?
Update binary used is different
Exchanged update binary from a working zip to this one
Other errors can be cured by changing recovery .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38469360
Common issues after flashing Rom:
1. Always do a clean install
To wipe everything except /sdcard.
Even in /sdcard delete Android /data after backup
2. No I won't listen. I want to do you a dirty install. Show me how?
Your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35903694
3. I get force closes of all apps?
Dalvik problem.
Clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot
4.I get force close of a specific app?
If it's a paid app, then you need to change your Android id to your original Id with Android id changer /titanium backup
Not a paid app?
Clear cache and data of that app and reboot
Fix permissions
5.reboot after reboot?
Thanks bhargz16
Kernel problem. Change kernel
GAPPS:
1. This gapp always force closes?
A. If it's a gapp found on play, just uninstall that gapp from system using titanium backup and then reboot and install from play store.
B.if not found on play, then try flashing a different gapps version from goo.im .
Make sure you have enough space on /system and on /cache before flashing and then flash. If not delete unused apps like stock keyboard ,etc
2. RPS5~AEC0/927/any other error while downloading apps from play?
A. Clear data cache of play store app
Reboot
B. Clear data of google services framework
Reboot
C. Remove your google account and re add it. Reboot.- this worked for me.
3. All my apps are missing from installed apps in play?
Wait for some time,if you've flashed a new Rom
Clear data and cache of play store
Reboot
Download app eric market fix *use @ your own risk *

B. Some users reported it could be a hardware problem -look below for power button issues.
C. Some users reported it could be a script problem (rare )
2. My home screen button and /or search buttons doesn't work?
A. Did you do a dirty install of new Rom
Clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot
B. Copy com.Android.providers.settings /databases from your previous nandroid backups(use yaffs file manager /nandroid manager)and paste it in it's respective location now (paste it using file manager in recovery )

And many others. The above are the developers of the roms that I used and present in no order.
2. Why doesn't sakindia123 update the OP ?
Disclaimer: Since it is one of the most faq by newbie,I'm forced to discuss here. I personally do not know sakîndia. If you still want more info, contact senior member hpsgill
You see.. He does nothing without reason. If he doesn't, then the last build present in op will be more /less equal to the latest build. There are other reasons ,which if I had to speak of them all, time wouldn't let me and I would have to deal with flaming members and mods and deleted posts and locked threads . Furthermore that question is well out of the scope of this thread. You are instructed not to ask this question any where.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
3. How can I contact these developers?
You can by studying Android development and codes, bccms,404s,tr2s and then talking to them. You'll have better luck talking with non recognized developers than the rds.
And try discussion threads .
4. Why doesn't a developer answer my question? (I'm being polite here)
Because the developer doesn't know the answer
w.r.f to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38095857
Or your question has already been answered. Try searching for your question at the least 10 pages back.
or your question is too silly to answer
Or your question is not seen ,because they don't have time .
5. Why do they do this ?
For passion of development, addicted, and for learning purposes.
So, that means they don't work for you. They don't help you. They do what they want.
6. I feel a emptiness around forum members. Was there a developer who worked here, yet left without goodbye?
Well not sure about goodbye, but yes his name is jaggyjags.
sakIndia123 came only late and his first work his cranium kernel, which he abandoned like it was nothing.. buried it along with jags. Cruel things did happen before you were here.

It's condition caused by overclocking(oc)[CPU oc ,to be specific. For gpu oc,go to the last part of this post question 10 ] resulting in bad blocks all over your system, data, cache and recovery.

3. No one has burnt thier nand*it's just some people think that thier nand is burnt * is this true?

Early symptoms:
You'll notice a strong drop in your free space in /data
Late symptoms:
/data free space is Nil /below 50%of what you saw before
Error in /cache /recovery/log.
Error in /cache/recovery/last log.Not readable.
No apps can be installed
Rom lags like hell
No Rom can be flashed /boots

6.If pasting twice doesn't work, type each code one by one -you'll surely get it. Come on-its just 4 lines -type it lazy!
And Now you'll see the number of bad blocks you've got.
You can also Flash the zip below[for which you have to go to recovery ]or execute the attached script badblocks.sh as root.

11. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Not sure of the exact command,but will work.
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device [do ruu here, if you haven't been able to enter hboot before]
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.
12. GPU OC ?
gpu oc has been reverted along with CPU oc by sak for burnt nand. But may be added later. but not present in cm released on or two months before 9 may13.
12.1 is it safe?
I don't know. CPU oc did provide burnt nand and bad blocks. Gpu oc may also do some things, which may not be seen as of now. I've seen one case complaining that, after using Cyanogen and going back to stock - games started lagging, which did not lag, when he was in stock before. The reliability is doubtful. But not much people go back to stock either -so not much can be said.
12.2 do you recommend it?
"If any provider of any oc removes the "AS IS" tag and take responsibility,if something happens, then I'll probably may use that oc,otherwise count me out".
12.3 How to remove gpu oc ?
Its present in kernel. Flash another kernel. Or modify source and compile yourself.
Present at arch/arm/mach-msm/msm7x27a.c- kernel source.
Try here
Normal [bus, Gpu] is [0,133330000],[160000000,192000000],[200000000,245760000] I think.

Download the zip from here, read instructions there and flash it in recovery
Now you can use any HDPI themes on your Pico

2. How do I change fonts?
Download Rom toolbox lite and go to font installer;
A. If you're on stock, the rest is automatic
B.if you're on cyanogen 9/10/11,if you change the droid sans /others as recommended by app, you'll end up in boot loop (possibly because of symlinking of robot sans & droid sans )
In such a case go to preferences and click to overwrite only roboto regular font and everything will be fine.
Take a look

3. How do I add a new language support to my device?
Note: no new language gui can be added by this method. This only adds support. Instead of seeing boxes, you may see your language. If you want full language support, you can go to this abandoned thread.?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40890599 ??
Language support can simply be added by adding a Android supported language font file in /system /fonts and give it permissions rw r. r.(font files can be found all over xda )
Step 2. Open system /etc /fallbackfonts.xml...
There should be a lot of font file names there.. just delete a font name that you don't want and add your font file name (the name of the file which you put in /system /fonts)
In there.
Practice makes perfect.
This method however doesn't work /only partly works for complex languages /script like Hindi Arabic etc.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Long pressing reboot button (in the menu after pressing power key) will get you into safe mode
2. Long pressing power keys and volume keys + and- for more than 30 seconds will reboot your device (tk to hrkh83)
3. Repeatedly pressing certain options(like Android version) in the about menu in settings(on cyanogen ) will take you into different settings (tk liverpoolfan)

Battery drain
BATTERY DRAIN
Of course, we're gonna talk about drain.
Before we start, I want to disprove some prevalent concepts
1. Battery calibration
It is supposed to increase Battery capacity and increase Battery life and it makes your phone to show the correct Battery on the notification bar.
FALSE
It doesn't do any of those. Calibration is just deleting Batterystats.bin file. That file holds info about how many seconds each apps were running for.typically it's blameometer. It shows the information you see in the battery chart in your settings. Nothing more.
Source: article
2. Cycling your battery life from 0 to 100 and 100 to 0 will typically increase Battery life. Further more you should make sure it comes to zero by turning on the phone,every time it got switched off on it's own.
FALSE AGAIN
Nothing could destroy your Li-On Battery than extreme low voltage. You can be sure that this will destroy your battery life more than anything. During storage it's recommended to keep the battery in cool place with 40%Battery.
So, don't use any battery draining app from market.
Ok, since we took out the false foundation, it's time to put some true working tips to save your battery during usage and it's overall life
1. It's recommended to charge as often as possible ~every time you get a socket. Though not to keep @100 all the time. Overcharging theoretically may damage your battery, but your phone comes with various safety mechanisms to prevent charging after that.
2. Limit the number of apps. Definitely would produce good Battery.
3. Limit the number of apps, that run in background all the time.
Typical example would be facebook.
PERFORMANCE:
4.Disable autostarts for all apps, that you don't use much~using autostart manager.
Disabling autostarts for the clock app will make you get up late. Use common sense.
This alone should drastically improve your performance
5.Use lightweight launchers ~Nova.
Go (any go products) is not advisable
6.Post ICS, Disable media scanner receiver.
You can use elixir app to disable media scanner receiver. This will scan your SDcard over and over again resulting in Battery drain,which is significant, if you use a bigger SD. Use media scanner root to enable and disable.
As far as the usual ones,
7. Disable autobrightness
8. Keep screen @ minimum brightness
9. Disable autorotation
10. Disable location services.
GAPPS:
11. Disable GSF (google services framework ) receivers ~the ones with gtalk on it.
12. Disable auto sync
You can use timedo /timer Android to turn on sync twice /thrice daily.
13. Reduce number of accounts. Better to keep single than three accounts.
14. Good internet connection. Amount of energy taken to re connect is supposed to be far more than amount needed to keep a connection.
15. Undervolt/with underclock
RECOMMENDED APPS:
1.BETTER BATTERY STATS ~free for xda.
2. Onepower guard
I haven't found satisfying results with this app, but still try it out
3.greenIFY
I haven't used this @ all.
4. Any app, that is used to reduce /increase heartbeat sent to google servers.
Well, that's all I've learnt as of now.

Presents
AUTORAMDISK™ EXCHANGE PROJECT alpha™
Current version: 0.0.0.0.071 Alpha
Created with Es explorer 1.6

I have got it to work and complete
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40035607
Old post: too lazy to delete
Present condition:
Hi. I cannot get it to work on HTC Pico yet .It may work on other phones. If someone can, please feel free to complete it provided you give proper credits And you do not make money out of this.
What's this?
It's a procedure (wip) to Flash any kernel without the need to change ramdisk.
As new kernel gets released, you don't need to change ramdisk to suit your Rom.
Automated procedure:
Open any kernel.zip with any zip extractor on your phone
Copy the script below and paste it in updater-script present in meta~inf/com/google/Android
(delete any other things written there. )
Code:
package_extract_dir("bin","/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/unpack-bootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/dump_image");
run_program("/sbin/dump_image","boot","/tmp/oldboot.img");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/oldboot.img","-o","/tmp");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkdir","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/boot.img","-o","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "rm","-r","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mv","/tmp/boot/kernel","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg", "--ramdisk","/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","--kernel","/tmp/kernel","-o","/tmp/newboot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");
delete_recursive("/tmp/newboot.img", "/tmp/boot", "/tmp/oldboot.img", "/tmp/kernel", "/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/busybox", "/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "/tmp/mkbootimg");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Download zip files from the source link below
Extract it and copy the bin folder from there to your kernel folder directly.
There should be 3 folders in your kernel folder ~bin folder, meta inf folder, system folder and boot.img
Now compress it and Flash
Note that this is only applicable to change ramdisk. If the boot. Img needs more work than that, it won't work. Essentially, it won't work on sense4 compiled kernels and vice versa
Manual terminal emulator method:
Alright guys, one last tutorial from me making my last mark here .This tutorial is not tested fully and probably never will be due to lack of time. And it will work for sure ~but May have syntax errors.
Credits:
1.trevd for arm executable binaries.
2.Xda university.
Requirements:
1.Any Android 2.3+ rooted
2.Android terminal emulator
3.arm executable unpack-bootimg binary and mkbootimg binaries (find it below )
History:
I wanted to change ramdisk for kernels for a long time on phone itself ~probably for a year or more . But anyone who tried to unpack using normal unzip apps would've noticed that other data.img and even system.img in clockworkmod could be unpacked easily, but not the boot.img and recovery.img. When I searched to unpack, it was easy with computers using the unpackbootimg binary for Linux. Problem was it wasn't cross compatible with our phones . So, I was searching for quite a while,until I found trev on xda university and he had made arm executable binaries for unpacking, repacking. Actually the main reason these binaries were created was for far greater and more advanced purposes i.e. to use apply patch functions in update binary and update script to Flash ramdisk on phone without flashing the kernel itself or vice versa (AFAIK)[ The apply patch functions are used in normal ota updates for any Android phone ]. Anyway I took those binaries to unpack kernels on our phone to change ramdisk. I write this for those, who want to change ramdisk on thier phone, but had no experience in PC whatsoever. And also by doing this, I share the unpack boot image binaries by trevd for Android phone ,so that any advanced member May use it for kernel updater scripts~think about it ~one zip for all cm9/10/10.1. Ofcourse the rest is up to you. Thanks for reading
Procedure:
1.Download the zip given in source below
2.Unpack it
3.Find these two binaries in /system/bin
Unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg
4.Copy them to /system/bin and give them full execute permissions in es explorer and read/write permission for user.
5.For easy remembrance,say, b1.img is your original boot image for your Rom(and Android,say cm10 ) and b2.img is the new kernel released for cm10.1
6.You want to change the ramdisk ofb2 cm10.1 to cm10 ,so that you can Flash the new kernelb2 for your cm10
7.Create new folder in SDcard named boot and put both b1.img and b2.img there
8.Open terminal.
9.type the following code one by one
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/boot
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b1
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b2
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b1.img -o /sdcard/boot/b1
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b2.img -o /sdcard/boot/b2
rm /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mv /sdcard/boot/b1/ramdisk.cpio.gz /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mkbootimg --kernel /sdcard/boot/b2/kernel.img --ramdisk /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 12C00000 -o /sdcard/b2new.img
rm -r /sdcard/boot
Note: the last rm command will delete all your old kernels ~don't execute it, if you don't want to have it deleted.
10.Now you have new kernel boot image with your ramdisk in /sdcard/b2new.img
11.Put it back in the zip with it's modules and
12. Flash
13.Hoping it'll work.
14.That's the end.
Source and binaries here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36931024
For dream and Sapphire models, you can use the binaries created by koush ~ which is found in his github ~any kernel project.
I'll probably be leaving soon
Kind of feel like working for xda. I guess sak and others would probably feel like it later. It's been great while it lasted. So this is probably my last project. If I did have some extra hardware during this period, things May have been different. It's good, while it lasted.
