You need to first change the File system so that its mounted R/W (read/write) as its initially set as R/O (read only)

this is a toggle switch at the top of the screen within Root Explorer
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
you are right... i do not use OC in my Rom cause i don´t need it right now. butif you try to OC V2 of Unity Kernel it would do nothing ;) don´t matter if you are using the files in /etc/init.d or via setCPU.

but MDJ promised an update for later today. let´s see.

if you don´t use OC and didn´t touched the config files for OC daemon you can stay on V2 for that while. if you have some issues just go back to Unitiy V1 or MDJ´s V2 (the old kernel of him before unity stuff).

Hi all.

When I try to use the front facing camera through the SEO cam v.0.12 app for some reason the picture (both on screen and final pic) is blurry and especially in the lower left corner of the display.

It does not matter what background conditions I have (outdoors or indoors, light or darker environment) it is always blurry.

Any one else has the same issue with front facing cam?

----EDIT: My wrong, it was dirt, I cleaned it and now it is ok :) -----
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
@fostirop lol
[HTC Desire S] fostirop:
Yeah, i know :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
why is getting a GPS lock so slow been waiting for about 5-10mins now still no lock..
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
i had this problem long before rooting. It's not a ROM problem.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
There is an app called gpsfix that improves it slightly, although as has already been said this is a device problem not related to this rom, search in general there are other similar threads
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
you made my day ;) thank you...

to be honest... i had the same problem and thought "i do i fix THIS?"

cleaning the lense was my first idea ;) helped!

regards
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
yeah there are some fixes around in this board.

you can try them... mostly there are for more than one device.

would be great if someone found a good and compatible improvement i can include to the rom base ;)

regards and thx for feedback
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
*SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD NEWS*

don´t be scared ;) but there are some problems around.

today my macbook died :( with all the projekt files on it and the newest builds.

that really suckz :( tomorrow i will bring it to a repair shop in berlin but it would take at least 1-3 days until i will get it back.

that means development is on hold, sadly :(

but the good news will make you very happy i guess. the new "realtime" changelog for v0.5.3 ;)

- put in some more improvements to the build.prop

- decreased ringer delay (means instant ringing when receiving call)

- adding some tweaks to laucher preferences (smoother scrolling in launcher and lists)

- added a "automatic" battery calibrating script made by seo

- fix for "sms app has no contact pictures after fix permissions"

- full RTL support for arabic (maybe hebrew and persian too, we will see)

- maybe some new versions for add-ons

- currently using the old Unity Kernel V1 again, cause V2 has no OC

-

- *to be continued*

-

will ad new things on the website. on weekend i plan a new update for v0.5.3.

this will have a optional Rosie 3D + some 3D Witgets package for testing ;)

but i will add more news on that topic later this week.

hope you can live with this situation.

make no sense to update the rom now when i have no chance to fix something without my loved macbook ;)

regards and enjoy the summer
[HTC Desire S] Bose_Eismann:
Don't worry about this.

I'll quietly wait for a new version. I tryed to install Virtuous Unity 1.25.0 but I received a very big problem with widgets, they didn't aligned correctly. I know it's a very hard job to port ROM from one device to other, but for me it's a very importatnt a right alighment of widgets.

So I'm interesting in "old" 0.5.2-0.5.3 now and in good 0.6.0 later in future:)
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
Dont forget the increased SMS size up from 5 ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Dammit !! I was hoping the new ROM with Rosie 3D comes out before thursday, cuz school re-opens friday......... no time for flashing at all. :( :( Still, i can wait a little longer. Hopefully it'll be out by sunday, otherwise i'll have to wait a whole week......

Also, i can't access mobile network (3G). This is probably because the ROM doesn't have my carrier's APNs. Anyone know where i can find them??
[HTC Desire S] shanz:
I have calibrated my phone properly this time and battery life has definitely improved, lasted 2 days with light usage.
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I just installed the new version and I am very happy. It work great for me.

Someone has tasted the gtalk app with video chat?

Because I can see the other person and I can see me in the little portion of my display but at the other side the other person can't see me.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So is it back yet ??
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
It's about the new mdj's kernel, I suppose!

EDIT: regarding "gtalk app with video chat"
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
MDJs kernel has nothing to do with this. I was asking LBC if his MacBook is back, as the new ROM project files were on it.
[HTC Desire S] huzi7868:
what is that battery widget called in one of the screen shots
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
hell... yes...

sorry @all that is was so quite here the last days.

problem was the damaged macbook which is back again and the good news is that everything is where it should be ;)

i have something on desk which i want to release when i have time to pack this all together, document it and than release. but work is very hard at the moment. i did not found time the last days to do this and all what is nearly done.

i will provide a smaller update the next days with some nice smoothness tweaks for rosie launcher and speed up incoming call ringer delay.

also there would be a auto-calibrate script included which should help you with calibrating your battery and stops that whines that this rom has battery issues ;)

the language thing will come later cause i will find some testers for that when it´s done. this will be an add-on for next version.

when this is done i will include the ota support (think it will take some time to get this setup´ed on the server) and some of you will get a chance to beta-test this too before this will be included :D

but give me some time... next days are full of work (no free day) but i will not forget you ;) i will try to get this version i got running on my phone repacked.

about this sense 3D features:

don´t think i forget this... but it is difficult to explain all whats behind this development. this rom is no sense 3 port from another device. it´s still based on the official HTC RUU for desire s but it has sense 3.0 apps that where backported via reversed engineering to fit in our rom. that means you dont have all features of sense 3.0... it´s nearly impossible cause of the messed up sense code (read seo´s latest tweets from last week;) ). you will not get the sense 3 calendar and it´s widget and a lot of more stuff like the sense 3 themes.

so this will be another add-on you can choose from. i will let the basement of the rom like it is now. the lockscreen, weather app and modded sms app (still have that 5 sms limit in mind) will be included as default cause they are stable and beautiful.

the sense 3D launcher and its 3D widgets will be a add on. i will build it that you can flash it as update zip. install instruction will follow when it´s done.

this are the priorities for next updates:

- bring this online what i´ve done

- build language add ons

- setup OTA stuff

- update old and release new add ons (sense 3D etc)

regards and good night
[HTC Desire S] Wormy:
Looking forward to the next release :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
All sound good, it's great that you're back and that your macbook is alive and ok.

Can't wait for further Smoothness improvements and the ota updates.

didn't fancy the dark splash screen then?
[HTC Desire S] Bose_Eismann:
Good news!

I think it's a very good idea do not port Pyramid ROM and keep as base the official HTC RUU for desire s!
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
*LANGUAGE UPDATE*

just send some PM´s around for some testers of the arabic RTL support.

hope they will answer fast with good news.

i have the same but not so complete RTL fix for hebrew too, but need a tester.

i was in contact with someone, but lost the PM´s i think :(

perhaps the one could write me again. saves some time cause don´t have to explain everything again ;) hebrew is difficult thing, because google didn´t officially translated android completly to hebrew. but RTL support for gmail and browser and some translated submenus in google apps should help a little. sense is still english with this mod... found now complete translation... :(

it´s time for HTC to release source code of sense to fix nasty bugs and add full localisation to sense...

these mod´s cost me so much time and aren´t really complete cause sense suckz.

i hope it´s enough for you or someone will pick up that thing and can do more than me and others on this board.

these mods are made with the help of files from desire hd and incredible s development communities, aosp stuff and a little captains love.

arabic-rtl-support-for-saga-lbc-mod_v.0.1.zip

hebrew-support-for-saga-lbc-mod_v.0.1.zip

remember to do a backup before using this patches.

these files are absolutely pre-alpha... don´t aspact to much.

just give it a try....

*features*

- no bootloop issue

- correct alignment on the right side (on hebrew and arabic english parts are left aligned/ arabic sense translated and right aligned)

- a lot of submenus translated (on hebrew less than on arabic / both right aligned when available)

- RTL support for browser, hope for gmail too... don´t have arabic or hebrew mails to test ;-)

regards and good night (almost 2:00 and i had to get up at 8 o_O )
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Danger, alarm, warning, but great news, software s-off now works, expect large amounts of incoming users.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
i thought the same... and i´m scared a little ;)

but great news for all those s-on´ies ;)

time to release the newest update, right? :D

i have one day free today.... maaaaybeee i will build something together until tonight to celebrate this :D

regards
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
Looking forward to it, please remeber to include the increased SMS size :):)
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
jeah... i have a new beta tester ;)

successfully s-off´ed the device of my wife... rooted with gingerbreak, making backups with titanium backup and in recovery and flashed the newest build to her phone...

let´s see what she say when she is coming back from post office ;)

hihi

regards
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, i am getting my phone soff at the moment...(installing ubuntu) maybe i can test the hebrew part?(how can i save my contacts? its the only thing i need :P)

Sadly the best rom is the one that dont have Sence 3 support yet xD...(I sure the 6.0 will be released soon hehe)
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
my contacts are synced to my google account... that preserves me to loose something... thats the reason i use android ;)

my rom will never be sense 3 as i said thousend times before ;) it will be sense 2.1 until HTC will release a new basement, means official sense 3 for htc desire s.

v0.6.0 will be the normal sense 2.1 basement (but with OTA support) and it will have an add-on for flashing a backported and resized sense 3.0 launcher with 3D widgets.

just to make it clear... if you want a sense 3 rom ported from another device my rom will not be what you are looking for... virtous is a clean sense 3 port.

regards
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I mean the Sense 3 Luncher.. no really need the rest :)
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
hey, checked the hebrew support

everything works perfect :)

Thank you for this rom, beer on me :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Its enought to flash through Rom Manager and select the Wipe Dalvik Cache?

If no, how i flash FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4-for-saga_.zip and install the weather-lockscreen-for-v0.5.2.zip?

Edit: Never mean.. just wiped all and installed this rom.. testing it now :)

Edit1: Works like a charm :)
[HTC Desire S] Tuptup:
Can I come straight from virtuous ROM to this one just by wiping then flashing? Do I need to flash a certain radio? Thanks in advance and also AMAZING work you've done here.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, just wipe and flash. Radio is just optional.
[HTC Desire S] claire78:
why do not see picture of the contacts in the sms app??

does anyone have this problem?

THX!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I would love to see sense 3 luncher in this mod.. works so good :)
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
have to say this rom is flying!!!

inlucdes all i need of sense 3.0 (task manager/weather/lockscreen/quick settings) :)

not really keen on the sense 3.0 launcher anyway (missed the slate skin)
[HTC Desire S] nbhadusia:
Agreed, not keen on the sense 3 launcher either...not as smooth as slate. The roms perfect the way it is, smooth, stock like, with all the best bits from sense 3, eg lockscreen.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Btw, there is a way to increase speaker volume in this rom? in coredroid is increased and dont make problems, so maybe you can try make it too?

:) Waiting the new release with the new kernel :) and the automatic battery calibration!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I agree that the in-call volume could be slightly louder.

You can flash the new version of the KERNEL v2 on your own from recovery as it functions fine with this version of the ROM.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Haha, i pretty scared of doing stuff on my phone yet hehe, but i will try! :D

A good question is how to check what kernel you have at the moment :P

Edit: nvm.. it says unavailable hehe
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
baby steps.....read these posts.for some for you next options and some advice

[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yep :) Read already all of them.

Overclock i am not interested because it drains battery faster.. and the phone works fast as it is.. no need more :)

Kernel just updated haha

ENG HBOOT i dont see the use for it... it will improve perfomance? or only more options..?

About the recalibration i waiting the script :P

and the radio i think is important.. i will check the one i have atm.. maybe i wont need to change it

Edit: Wow, never thought it would be so easy to flash stuff.. in windows mobile was so hard haha
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
ENG HBOOT won't affect running of the phone in anyway. but, I believe that it will give you more advanced recovery options, which would be useful in bad situations, so I think its a good idea to install...although do follow the Alpha REX thread in GENERAL section.

This post in this thread contains instructions on battery calibration.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Will use the program if i get any battery draining fast issue :P

Btw, edited the thing with the score.. is running fine now. had a little issue hehe, i new to this stuff
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
hey, few issues:

1) i have low signal sometimes in "hard" places for the reception (not only wifi, 3g to), when i hold it inside my hand i can even have 0 bars of network :(.

if i change radio\somthing else, can it help?

2) about the hebrew-

as i understood from the DHD forums, roms with "RUU 2.50.405.2" have almost full hebrew, for example: "Spike Speedy Edition v3.0", and "Android Revolution HD 5.2.1", but they dont have the left-to-right fix you did (perfectly!)

do you think you can take the translated menus from this dhd ruu and use here?

tnx:)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
the radio can have an effect on the signal, as that is primarily what it controls - it's certainly worth trying. but which is best for you depends on your location and network, so what is best for one person is not always best for another.

There is notes about radios in post #1
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
After finally getting S-Off, I'm trying all the ROMs avaliable! This one is installing as I type, I'll let you know how I find it, just in case you're interested!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I getting with this rom a lot of jumps in my wifi signal.. at least that what i see in the top bar...

another thing is that my phone seems to dont want to charge to 100% and stops at 99% hehe(the LED still orange)

SO... Even that it gives lower score then the other 2 roms... i will stick on this rom because is based on a saga release (and we love you) :P
[HTC Desire S] Lacuna666:
i did notice the big wifi jumps also but it doesnt lose the signal on mine (radio issue?)

99-->100 % takes much longer on my phone than 50-99% but it does reach 100% eventually on mine
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
interesting.. maybe is that.. i will wait some time and see if it gets to its 100% :P

and about the wifi i get the exact same thing.. big jumps but dont loose connection
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
hey@all

wooow... whats going on here ;) seems like we got some visitors, master... hihi

that´s to much for me tonight to answer... i will concern about all you said and all those little bugs you might find.

but i can´t reply to all posts like i´ve done in the past ;)

i think the v0.5.3 will be a little upgraded cause you remembered me what i wanted to do ;) i´m getting old... hihi!

let´s see what tomorrow brings... let´s collect some more posts and i will reply tomorrow after breakfast and coffee :D

some quick toughts:

sms contact picture isssue:

look around this thread... i´ve posted a workaround for that some pages ago and included a fix already in my actual beta-builds. issues comes from "fix permissions" in recovery i guess... you are the first one after me who ever noticed this bug ;) ...

wifi drop issue:

look in general posts... there is something like a "dead grip"... wifi drops if you hold it horizontal... can also be an issue with your radio. me for myself don´t have issues with wifi (but i have this "dead grip" thing).

sense 3 launcher:

this will be on ad-on... the rom wil stay as it is... those who want to use sense 3 launcher will get this as option to flash right after flashing the rom.

i´m very happy with how it is now. sense 3 costs performance you can only improve by overclocking... this will drain more battery... if you want it as smooth as sense 2 it will definitely costs more battery or it will not be smooth enough to enjoy (just my 2 cents)

everything else i try to explain tomorrow... hebrew thing is a lot work, but i´m on it and i´m in contact with some other dev´s of the other platforms. but it´s like it is everywhere... answers take time, cause the others are always busy too ;)

i´m very happy with your feedback and your good and kind words... feel free to visit my development page to enjoy some cool ad-banners (you know what to do ;) ...) to support the project.

thank you and good night
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Thanks for the answer :)

The wifi thing i saying is with-ought even touching the phone... just randomly do it.. even on the table :P

Anyway to have the increse speakers volume thing?

and i agree with the sense 3 luncher.. it takes pretty much.. but in the rom that is based on sense 3 it works perfect with no overclock and even get more score in programs then this one..but i still agree that it should be an option only and not to have it as default

But it doesnt really matter, i am sticking with this rom because is the most active(constant updates) and because you listen to us all the time and answer our questions hehe
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
superkid- stop with the "hehe" all the time=\
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Sorry that it bothers you, i wont write "hehe" again. You could just pm me to say this.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
thank you :D

that is why i´m doing this :D

hope i can be as constant as in the past, cause job and family life changed the last weeks dramatically... this means less time for android, but this doesn´t mean that this rom will not be maintained. it´s nearly done like you all have been saying. add some little features in the future shouldn´t be the problem when basement is nearly perfect.

time will come and HTC will release a new version or updated wwe build and everything begins from scratch ;)

regards

edit: HEHE
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
one question to you signature...

is it right that you used virtuous unity rom with "no overclock"?

cause i guess it´s overclocked per default to 1,2GHz... my rom isn´t overclocked per default (means 1GHz)...

just want to know... and didn´t want to flash virtuous atm ;)

regards
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yes, there is a *fix* for people who have issues with the overclock.. i flashed it to check it without overclock

I might had done it wrong, i pretty new to this, the score decreased but not too much.

And i know is weird, this rom should give better performance because its made on a saga specialy prepared rom.

Would love someone else to test this :P

LBC score: 1600-1850

VU score: 1800-2100
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
nice ;)

good to know there is room to improve... will contact the guys and ask what they do ;)

currently playing around with the new apk cmpression the guys developed. perhaps there are more little things to improve my rom.

but nice benchmark scores (which are really difficult to read), high scores aren´t everything... hihi

regards

EDIT: btw... had over 2000 points with my rom in quadrant too with stock cpu clockings... but only once ;)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Exactly, i dont believe in high scores, but both roms work so good that i cannot find another way to compare them :P

i am sure there is a lot to improve.. but take your time, i sure you have a life, and that's more important.

Thanks for everything again :D and if we can help with something just ask!
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
a noob question here.. how can i flash this ROM in CMW? should i rename the zip or just copy it and flash it? and also the stock bugfix how to do flash that also?
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
about the hehe- didnt meant to insult you, just you use it all the time :D

זה כמו "חחחח" בסוף כל משפט=\

yerfdes- just copy and flash it, dont forget to wipe before

loveboatcaptain-

about the wifi drop issue, i know about the death grip,

its or i have a very severe case, or its other problem, i loose signal in every situation, not only holding it as described.

about the hebrew- tnx :)

as i said, if it helps you, the official desire hd new roms with ruu 1.25 have hebrew, so htc translated it already
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
are bluetooth keyboards working?
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
In clockwork mod? Yeah you can you do not need to rename anything put the rom on your phones sd card then.. just boot into recovery and wipe all data. Then select install zip from sd card and select the rom zip file and it should install.

When installed reboot your phone and your select rom should be installed.

Happy flashing :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Made some tweaks and now i get even better performance.. :D i am still testing it hehe

I am trying to get into this :)

Edit: Had some issues with the tweak so not good yet
[HTC Desire S] Fz.hary:
Thanks for making such this great things ;)

This is the first custom rom in my Desire S.

I've one question, is it possible to get stock battery+% in this rom?

or just a stock battery?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
just installed your ROM

it is very fast :) i just love it :D

BTW does installing this make the ROM smoother or is it already included?
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
When 0.5.3 will be available? I want to know if is worth to install 0.5.2 now or wait for 0.5.3 which resolves bugs.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
What bugs? there aren't any!?

Why don't you just instal and try it, I doubt that you'll get an eta as it's for free and we're ask just happy whenever it comes
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Really do like this rom, been using it since y/day morning and it seems really stable, bug free and just a joy to use
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
indeed is fast and good looking :)
