best sense 3.5 i flashed.. i flash all sorts of roms everyday, from AOSP to Cyanogen to Sense ROMs... didn't know Coredroid was this good.. thanks for an awesome ROM!

a few TINY things to reach perfection (for me)

-front camera stretch during capture

-laggy playback when playing 720p vids taken by the phone

-notification bar shows up another time when selecting internet pass-through.

-volume keys wake doesn't work.

everything else slices through butter like a hot knife.. =)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well for volume wake up which i find very important you can use runnydroid mod...works perfect :)
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Please, it would be cool, if you were an effort to write correctly your posts.

We are not all English writers, and we make some efforts to write properly and for all users understands

Thank's and appreciate it ;)
[HTC Desire S] :
Sorry chap. Sergio likes to keep track of download numbers. Ummmm.....good things come to those who wait? :D
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
yeah but 5 hours to download a file that should take me 10 mins :/

possibly either different links for different devices, or maybe get some ftp server space? I have plenty of space we could take about setting you up some fast space?
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
please, could you provide me how I can change the font because this kind of font is not readable...
[HTC Desire S] :
Ok. I know it's not to everyone's tastes.

I've used this app...https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite

to install different fonts. Follow the instructions in the app closely. Not all ttf will fit the ROM well. Some trial and error probably required. The app doesn't come with fonts, you have to find them. If you have trouble finding nice ones, drop me a PM.
[HTC Desire S] Sergio76:
Just finish paying another Host provider so you guys now have 2 options too download builds.

If you go to coredroid site home page on tab ROMS you guys will find respective download options.

Videochat

Hi,

i got problems with Google Talk Videochat (Voice works) since the

new CD (2.0 >) Versions with Sense 3.5.

I use it with Wifes DS (CD 2.2) and my DHD (CD 9.2) and i got the same fault.

No Video sending, and 8/10 crashes or connection aborded.

If i use a Galaxy Tab as Chatpartner i can see his Video, but he can't see me.

Also with older Roms it works, like DS with Stock Sense 3.0 or DHD with Coredroid V8.1.

EDIT: Also same with Skype.
[HTC Desire S] jo3bar:
If was noticed on Coredroid site:

Known Issues/Glitches:

Desire S front camera issue still exist
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
We know this issue, and we try to resolve the problem and the others:

o Desire S front camera issue still exist

o 4EXT recovery might not look right first boot, reboot and should be all fine

o If presented with Google Account setup upon first boot, hit the hard back key and proceed
[HTC Desire S] frankyHTC:
I readed that, but DHD has no Frontcam, and it worked well (wrong side but ok). Also at DS with backside cam !

But it will not explain, why GTalk crashes all the time. :-(
[HTC Desire S] jebinio:
hi, is there an battery mod that shows a blue stock battery with percentage?
[HTC Desire S] :
We are aware of the front facing camera bug within the ROM, and are currently working on a solution.

I couldn't get Facetrap or Visidon App Lock to work either.

Thanks for the feedback.
[HTC Desire S] shara6:
internet pass through disconnects when notification bar is pulled down.. And I hope you can fix the 720p video recording lag.
[HTC Desire S] :
Thanks for the heads up re the pass through. Hadn't found that one!

We are looking at both issues.
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
A quick fix for the front cam would be to choose the smaller photo size, or to uncheck the 5:3 format.
[HTC Desire S] :
Tried that. The htc camera app works fine with the front camera. It's the only thing that does! I turn it down and re try other apps like Gtalk or Fring, and it just FC.
[HTC Desire S] rayford85:
that's a known bug on several roms. Rcmix rom for sure has that problem as well.I remember reading that someone found a fix for it. Let me track it down and I'll pass the info on to the team;)
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
A little issue

In root explorer , i can edit files (copy,paste,etc) but i cant set permisions

Is it super user related or ?

Anyone confirm ?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
No problem with Su permissions.

Try to uninstall, reboot, re-install root explorer app

or

update SU v3.0.7 and executable SU v3.0.3.2
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
re-installed root explorer 2.14 again but the bug is exist

the last cdt rom build (clean install)
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
I had a couple of days to login to XDA and here's my "new gift"!

An updated ROM! :D

I'm downloading it now and I'm also downloading the HD2 ROM for a friend of mine to "show him the fun of android with a CoreDroid ROM" as I told him :D

In order to only update my DS and not do a clean install (I'm currently running CoreDroid version 2.0), I only need to wipe cache & Dalvik cache?

And just select from 4EXT the "apply /sdcard/update.zip" option?

(Of course I'll have changed the ROM filename to update.zip)

Am I correct or I'll do something stupid and I'll have to re-configure my DS?

Thanks in advance for your answers! :)
[HTC Desire S] :
For this latest version I'd recommend a full wipe. If you flash over the top, you may find you have FC problems with the coredroid skin coming from version 2.0

Also no need to rename it to update.zip
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
If you need tools, you could find all here : CoreDroid Tools
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Thank you both!

I just finished my NANDroid backup to see how it goes... but I'll do tomorrow the clean installation to have free time afterwards to reconfigure everything :P
[HTC Desire S] dilip007:
will the front facing camera issue be fixed soon?
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Hi All,

I'm currently running an rooted HTC stock ROM. (android 2.3.3)

Since it is not easy to get an OTA update to android 2.5 I'd like to use this custom ROM.

It will be my first ever experiënce with custom ROMs, so what do you guys advice? Do a full wipe (like in this post), or is that not necessary?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
We are on.

We work to solve a max of issues. Please be patient. It's coming ;)

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

It's necessary, you must flash with a fresh install, and welcome in CoreDroid world ;)
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Edit: I'm too slow, philos64 got me :p
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Thanks philos64 :) I'm gonna try and install this thing tomorrow ;)

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

@doghous, the information you posted was actually very useful ;)

I already rooted my phone, so I have an recovery by -i believe it is- revolutionary.

Will that one suffice for installing CoreDroid or do you recommend to flash it to 4ext?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Revolutionnary is not a recovery but a roots tool.

And if you want to install the best recovery actually, 4EXt, let's go on my sig ;) or here : 4EXT Website

Sorry @doghous :D

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I use ESFile Explorer and I have no problem with. it has rights SU and no issue.

Try to using SU Updater fixer, it's a good help.
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Lol, I've been a little bit too enthusiastic :)

I've done all the steps as required by this post

Then I installed the latest multidevice CoreDroidROM.

But right now my phone is stuck in a loop, it displays the T-Mobile logo for half an hour now.

What can I do to make this ROM working? ;)

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
What's kind of recovery have you installed before your CoreDroid Flash ?

Have you made a Nandroid backup?

Cause If you've installed all before fresh install, normally, you will been ok
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
I'm afraid I haven't flashed a new recovery.

I thought the clockworkmod recovery I had was good enaugh (as described by the requirements)

I do have a backup, and if I can't get it to work tonight, I will have to recover from it as I need my phone tomorrow.

But we have some time ;) What can I do to boot into this ROM?

Edit: Hmm, EXT4 is included with CoreDroid.

I have done the same wipe steps again using EXT4 (wipe all partitions except SD card)

Then reïnstalled CoreDroid.

Same result..

Edit2: It's gonna be a little too late now. I've restored to stock ROM.

I will try again tomorrow. Please describe the steps I need to take in case I missed someting.

FYI: I'm still running EXT4.

Thx for your time! :D

Marcoevich
[HTC Desire S] santa_:
I'm having issues with this.

I ran the MAGLDR - booted into the bootloader, performed all the steps (1-37)

once I reboot the phone it will stay stuck on the CoreDroid splash..I've waited more than 30minutes. The last step says -/+10min

I've also get to the point it allows me to choose either the HD2 EU 512MB (yes) and the HD2 TMOUS 1024MB (no) and so forth.

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm reformatting again, orignally I did ext3, i will try ext4 to see if it works.
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
Are you s-off or just unlocked your bootloader with htcdev ?
[HTC Desire S] santa_:
Is that something needed on the HD2? I used RUU provided in the MAGLDR113 folder and went to the stock 2.00.00 (if I recall correctly)
[HTC Desire S] santa_:
Well I tried reformatting and instead of ext3 , i chose ext4. Still the same problem. I left it alone at the bootup screen for almost 2 hours and never got anywhere. -.-
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
You have an HD2, correct?

I installed the latest coredroid yesterday on a friends' EU HD2 using the guide found in the zip file of the HD2 ROM.

I faced the same problem with you because I had not created the sd-ext partition on the SD card.

You need to repartition the SD card, if you have not done so, and create one sd-ext partition (I made a 512MB sd-ext partition). Select skip on sd-ext2 and sd-swap partitions, that's what I did and the rest of the sd card was automatically created as a fat32 partition.

That worked flawlessly for me.

Do not forget to backup your SD card data because it will be reformated!

And you'll have to reinstall the ROM after the repartition of the SD.

I hope I helped :)
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Fixed ;)

Next release is looking pretty awesome :)
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Nice work ;)

I'm a little bit more into the custom rom thing now, and I am pretty sure I have all the requirements to install this ROM.

So tomorrow I will try again to install CoreDroidROM ;)

I hope it will succeed this time!
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
You're welcome and good flash ;)
[HTC Desire S] geekynoob:
i hope to see a flashable zip (if possible) for ppl lyk me on v 2.2 to fix d front cam issue...! instead of downloading the whole 400+mb again.. :)

[HTC Desire S] geekynoob:
i guess i should be more clear then... ;)

since you are running around making fun fun of people whereas you yourself have a weak hand in english so i shall try n be more clear...

Lets begin...!

What i meant was that the biggest issue desire s faces in case of your rom is the error or fc in front cam so it would me awwsome to have a itty bitty zip file dat will be able to hit or take care of that issue directly not a 400mb+ rom again.!!

everybody is making a run for ICS roms..so what i assume or think is that people might refrain from dwnloading a while rom again..!

u have to consider a persons opinion and yeah u can still make fun of me m least bothered and if i am still not clear well time for you to go back to school and get thorough with your english lessons..!

Peace..

god bless.. :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Ankit, this is no way to talk on these forums man!

You're asking for help from devs who are doing all this for you for FREE, in their own spare time. They are not obligated to you, or me, or anyone for that matter. It is their ROM, their vision, and their creation alone... and they can choose to release it in whatever fashion they see fit... you can't demand something from someone when it doesn't belong to you anyway!

And so far the Desire S community has been the most well behaved and knowledgeable community i've come across. I've actually had people coming from other devices posting good things about our forums. Let us keep it that way. All that we are asking you is to write in full text, and not sms/shorthand format.

It hurts just to try to figure out what it is that you're trying to say... and you also need to cut down on the general emotional content of your posts, with the disproportionate number of exclamation marks and freaked out smileys! Both myself and @lowveld have pointed this out to you in other threads.

Please do not take this as a rebuke or reprimand... i'm just asking you to make a little bit of effort to be more civil and courteous around here... We all have an identity online...and it's sacred. Be known for the help you can hand out here, rather than just show up on everyone's doorstep and bang on it, demanding whatever you want, as if it's your birthright.

And as far as English is concerned, wnp_79 is from the country that invented the language and philos is French. I think they are much more "English" as compared to you and me...so you might want to keep those kind of snide comments in check next time...

I hope you will take all this in good faith. Just try to fit in a little better... make an effort... give respect where it is due... put in something into the forum to compensate for what you take out... and if you can't do any of that, it's fine... just be polite.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Good comments

Thank @enigmaamit

I appreciate your comments.
[HTC Desire S] geekynoob:
i try and help out if i can...all i wantd ws to cut dwn there work..or probably i thought uploading a patch cn help them reduce there tym as well as others was wrong

i have a habit of writing in shorthand or sms language..and u too can see i have been trying to overcome it...

il keep evrything in mind and keep myself to dwnloading and flashing the roms or dat matter report bugs

you or others wont see me around much talking now

thanx for taking your time out and writing all this

no smilies no exclamation marks

respects
[HTC Desire S] apk24:
Yeah mate, totally agree with you.

We are all friends here...so let us be civil. I'm a 100% with you on this one.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
C'mon man, don't take my words to heart.... Remember i told you to take my comments in the right spirit? ;)

I see that you are making an effort. And for that my respect for you has increased. Noboby is asking you to refrain from bug reports or contributing to the forum.... hell, i don't own the forum any more than you do, brother. Don't shrink away...stay here, and put in your inputs...just a little more sensitively, is all.

Who knows, one day geekynoob may turn out to be THE Geekynoob, moderator on these very forums, or a young developer like superkid!:D:D:D

Anybody can quit, it's the brave that carry on.

'nuff said. No hard feelings Ankit. I hope you do the right thing. :)

(All those smileys are for you!!)
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
We are finalizing a new release 2.3.5.

[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Great news!

Just one quick question, I have CoreDroid 2.0 do I need a full wipe or I can just do an upgrade with a cache / dalvik wipe?

TIA!
[HTC Desire S] :
We'd always recommend a full wipe. There have been some extensive changes since 2.0. Up to you though. You can try a flash over the top, but if you get FC with skins or tweaks, you know why! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Sergio76:
Happy Flashing :)
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
Well you know I was thinking about the fixing every setting again etc. (I know I'm bored :P)

I'll download it now and I'll flash it tomorrow (it's 00:40 here and I need to get some sleep! :P)

Thanks CoreDroid team! :)
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
hello

first : thanks for the update ,downloading immediately :D

second : is there a way to delete the 4ext recovery before flashing the rom , not becaues there is an issuse , but i am using the cwm recovery

thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] :
Ok no problem. Open up the zip, go to the the recovery/saga/ folder and delete recovery.img

You might want to give it a try though. It's very good. If you don't like it you can always flash cwm back in ROM manager.
[HTC Desire S] mmarks:
I'm going to show my complete ignorance here, but as I am currently on Saga3d - what advantages, changes would I encounter if I switch to CoreDroid?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Or just updated the last version of Rom Manager - CWM recovery, and you will use CWM for flash CoreDroid DS V2.3.

After, you can delete all your recoveries from 4ext which are on your sdcard, as this : 2012-01-15-18-00.01_recovery.img

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Sorry, but I haven't try this rom. So, I don't know the differences .

If you want to trying CoreDroid DS V2.3, make a full wipe before flashing the rom.
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Could you add catalan language?

Hi,

trying this beatiful ROM :-) Could you add catalan language (there is a official translation from google), or teach me how to do it?

Thanks in advance :-)
[HTC Desire S] Sim0cYz:
Hello, I just flashed CoreDroid (full wiped Endymion 3.4).. there was an epic work under this rom but well, [i don't want to piss on devs work!] I don't like the theme.. rom performance is great, also great the tweaks, but the theme is annoying imho.

There's a way to restore original sense theme? I restored to Endymion in the meanwhile :(
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
Excellent update. Thank You Sergio and CoreDroid team
[HTC Desire S] :
Sorry chap. That's like asking for Beyonce but with a bag over her head and without the t*ts: A good performer underneath but without that special something, why would you? :D

It's probably possible to remove it all, but i think you'd probably be better off sticking to Endy if this ROM isn't to your personal taste. We're all different!
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
You could always do a Nandroid backup and then try out the ROM, what have you got to lose :)

You never know, you might not want to go back ;)

In a nutshell. No.

Thats what CoreDroid is, you can read more about the ROM at CoreDroidRoms.com :)

If you want stock, theres plenty of other ROMs to choose from. :)
[HTC Desire S] Sim0cYz:
That's pretty sad, because I love coredroid's feature, everything is right and lovely except (in my opinion) the theme.. not so professional looking, not really smooth, that's all.

The possibility to choose between CoreDroid and Stock theme will be surely great.

The choice of a theme is strictly personal, someone could love it, someone other could hate.

Will wait and stay updated, these were only my comments about this great rom.

Oh, by the way, you did a great work behind this :) I'm not belittling the work of anyone, just saying my opinion :)
[HTC Desire S] :
No problem my friend. You could always switch to the stock skin, and make your own stock status bar with UOT kitchen. That's as about as close to the stock look add i think you'll be able to manage with this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
Thk's for all CoreDroid team ;)
[HTC Desire S] dilip007:
the fonts changed.. could somone please find the font before the update?

loving the new verison with themed keyboard :D
[HTC Desire S] Sim0cYz:
I might try :) thanks, u kind. I was thinking.. it's like you go to a car dealer, you want to buy the latest Ferrari model, it's shiny, fast and brilliant, it has all you need in a car but.. wait, it's only blue! :rolleyes:

Thank you for the honest comprehension :D
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
Got stuck on the coredroid bootanimation... had to take out the battery (no adb, no power+vol updown response)

Rewiped all... reflashed the rom. And again i'm stuck. I'm a little nervous to take out the battery....Any other way?

C:\Users\<user>>adb reboot recovery

error: device offline

EDIT: Phone survived a second battery pull....restoring 2.2
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Any one stuck at boot animation after display timeout?

Hi, I'm experiencing some loop boot animation after display timeout. Someone with this issue and any fix for it? Maybe I've fixed it with some config changes, but I don't know what of them has made the work lol
[HTC Desire S] myjag:
Signal lost easily

Great ROM, loved it.

Just that after flashing the ROM, I can't get a constant connection to my network provider. Keep getting limited service message while before the flash, I don't get this message at all.

Anyone have any idea why?
[HTC Desire S] :
Not getting that here. Strange. Can you PM me the changes you made?
[HTC Desire S] :
What provider are you with? Have you checked your APN details?

Also, try reflashing the correct RIL for which ever radio you are using.
[HTC Desire S] dilip007:
im also experiencing theese loops in playing games or listening to music and suddnly it goes into a bootloop. i have to remove the battery for it too boot up properly again please fix this soon :)
[HTC Desire S] :
What is your max cpu setting in the daemon controller?
[HTC Desire S] dilip007:
i have overclocked it to 1305600 mhz (1.3 ghz)

is it because of that?
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
guys im from 2.0 and just wipe cache and dalvik before flashing this version... im having FC on aroid phone... do i have to do a full wipe?
[HTC Desire S] :
No it shouldn't do at that freq, just see if turning back to stock 1GHz to rule it out. Just wanted to check you weren't at 1.7!

Not getting any loops here.
[HTC Desire S] :
Yes there were some extensive changes from 2.0. A full wipe is recommended.
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Hi wnp_79, I don't remember the changes I've made :-( I realized this afternoon that that not was a simple "boot animation"; a infinite soft reboot instead. Luckyly I've installed a loLcat reader and see some divisions by 0 related to brightness level, so I changed my brightness profiles in tasker (app that I installed after reading your fantastic guide for android newcommers, that I'm sharing to all the people that I know is using android :-) to 1 unit at minimum level and the infamous loop has gone :-)

I must to tell you that I'm using coredroid after seeing that ROM in your signature, so double thanks to you :-)

Sorry for my very bad english :-P

Sent from my HTC Desire S using XD

A App
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Check if the brightness is at 0 level and increase to 1; hope that helps :-)
[HTC Desire S] myjag:
Thank you, it seems that the reason for my experience is due to my provider acting up. I have reloaded the ROM and now it is working as intended.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Thanks for that response dude... problem solved...
[HTC Desire S] :
No worries. Just check what your default max CPU speed is in the daemon controller. Make sure it's not defaulted to 1.7GHz!
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Update on my soft reboot issues and two questions

Hi,

it seems that lowest brightness values keeps the issues, so I changed my tasker profiles to minimum brightness to 35, and no more soft reboots since that.

My questions:

-Someone can make USB tether works with a Linux laptop? When I mark the USB tethering option, it disapears after a few seconds, with both options Windowns and Mac OS... Wireless tether is working fine.

-Searched for that but not found: can I update from coredroid 2.2 to 2.3 without wipe?

Thanks in advance :-)
