I love my Thunderbolt. And, until yesterday I loved Go Launcher EX. But that changed.

I had an emergency. I won't go into details but if any of you have been in an emergency then you know that you need to act quick to quell the onset of panic.

I pulled out my Thunderbolt. It was bright daylight. Hard to see the display. I normally have the brightness set at 30% to save battery. So it took a few seconds for me to find the icon I keep on the home page to change the brightness from the normal 30% to the full 100%.

Whew! I found it and could now see the screen clearly. I need to call 911 as panic is starting to build up.

I have Go Launcher Ex installed and love its flexibility. On the bottom of the phone Go Launcher EX installs 5 icons. The first one is phone, the next one contacts, etc.

I look at the bottom row. Instead of phone, contacts, etc. I see 5 icons but they are all the same. They are all just a large + sign. (That's Plus Sign).

Pressing on them takes me to, I think, a configuration screen of some kind. I don't really remember now because panic is starting to set in since I can't dial 911, or anything else for that matter. I CAN'T GET TO MY FRIGGIN' PHONE. HELP ME, I'm thinking. What the eff is going on here. How do I solve this? Quick, think of something! FAST! NOW! HELP ME!

I do the only thing I know how to do to fix the phone. I hold down the power button and press RESET. Panic is swelling. I know it will take a minute or so for the phone to reset but the worst fear is that I still won't be able to use the phone if GO Launcher EX is still acting up.

During the reboot time I try to calm myself. I try to think of how to kill Go Launcher EX and get back to the HTC stock page. Do I go into settings and delete in the app? How the heck do I get into settings if the buttons don't work? HELP ME!

Finally, after what seemed to be an hour but was only probably 90 seconds or so, the phone lock screen is displayed. I swipe it down with anxiety hoping I don't see five plus signs and hoping it's back to normal. I can see the normal icons including the phone icon. Whew! what a relief. I press the phone icon but it says no coverage. I try to stay calm. I press the phone icon again and now I have coverage. I can make the call.

I gotta tell you that my hands were shaking and I was a nervous wreck for about an hour but everything turned out OK.

It did make me think of how dangerous it is to rely upon third party apps on such a critical piece of equipment. Having said that I'm hoping this was just one oddball anomaly and, for now, I'm keeping Go Launcher EX installed and running. But, I gotta ask, has anyone else seen this with Go Launcher EX?
[Thunderbolt General] humblewarfare:
It sounds like you accidently swiped the dock. Go Launcher by default includes three docks. When I slide between them, the other two show as a row full of "+"'s
[Thunderbolt General] jersey_609:
That's correct u can go to dock settings in go launcher and set the number of docks from 3 to 1 then u won't have that problem again
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Yeah sorry but sounds like user error in your panic, not sure how you used go launcher very long and never found that feature. Launcher Pro has same feature and you could put your dialer in every slot if you wanted
[Thunderbolt General] TabGuy:
Thanks so much for your reply. I just reread my post and my heart rate went up again. Your suggestion has a calming effect.

Hopefully, this thread will make back to the developers of Go Launcher EX and they'll set the default to 1 instead of 3.

Whew!

Edit: It's crystal clear what happened now that I can reproduce it. However, I didn't know about the dock and during a time of crisis couldn't fix it. I've now set my dock rows to 1 and that corrected the behavior. I wouldn't want anyone that needed to use my phone to save ME in an emergency to run into the same problem.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
The first time this happened to me w/Launcher Pro I had ZERO clue wtf just happened to my icons, lol, full on panic, but not during a 911 crisis thank goodness.

:D
[Thunderbolt General] Br0wNb0y:
My friend had the same issue. He accidentally swiped and was pulling his hair out trying to fix it.
[Thunderbolt General] pdxphreek:
This is why I stopped using ADW, the launcher would randomly disappear (I must have bumped it wrong) and could *NOT* figure out how to bring it back (even resetting wouldn't). I haven't had this issue with Launcher Pro thankfully.
[Thunderbolt General] krickatthedisco:
thats a feature, it happens when you swipe up on the middle of the dock bar. my fiancee does it on her tbolt all the time and calls me from work screaming I CANT SEE MY APPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i tell her calmly to swipe down at the very bottom of the screen and she goes "ohhhhhhhhh i know what i did......." but yea the first time it happened to me i was like zomg wheres my dock bar?!?!
[Thunderbolt General] pdxphreek:
I tried swing around where it should be to bring it back and it never did come back up. I couldn't find an option to disable it either. At this point I paid for Launcher Pro anyways so I wouldn't go back to ADW.
[Thunderbolt General] yblaser:
You can always hold down the search button to get the voice prompt and say "Call 911"
[Thunderbolt General] TabGuy:
Thanks, that's a good tip.

Unfortunately, in the heat of panic somehow all logic and learned tips just seem to fly out the window.

I have a "feature phone" (non smart phone) that was sitting in the center console of my car. I use it exclusively to connect to my Ford Sync. It never occurred to me, during the heat of panic, to open up the center console and use that phone. A couple of days later I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand when I thought about that.
[Thunderbolt General] pdxphreek:
That happens to the best of us, glad to hear everything is okay for you.
[Thunderbolt General] scuccia:
If you go into the GoLauncher preferences and select Exit or Restart (can't remember which) it automatically removes itself as the default launcher. So you can hit the home button and select another launcher.

[HTC Desire S] maroof.saeed:
Hi

Can you please upload the version for me where you can add sense 2.1, as you have removed sense 2.1 from this rom.
[HTC Desire S] 522122:
downloading, and where can i find that light fix or whatever?

EDIT:

1. I dont like when you press settings key it will unlock the lockscreen

2. I dont like htc dialer, sms, gallery, people, ... if this apps can just look like pure stock it would be gr8. Is it too hard to port this aps from for example nexus s?
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Upload complete. im ready to hear other ideas about the rom.

i currently have ported leedroid rom fully working. if anyone want it i can upload.

Best regards
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
dude port everything :D
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Please upload leedroid. I always wanted to test it. Can you also port an aosp rom ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
+ 1

Would love to try leedroid
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Bro I guess sense roms we already have a lot...

If you can why don't you try porting redux or oxygen or GingerVillain...

All three are considered to be best aosp roms...

If you could any it would be great
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
+1 .........
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
Just port everything you can XD

Would like to try leedroid too
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I'd love Leedroid too !!!!! Pure AOSP ROMs would also be great, like oxygen
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
+1 more for LeeDroid. I used his ROMs almost exclusively on my old Desire. Rock solid ROMs. Shame he got lured away by the dual-core temptations!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Leedroid is Full Sense 3.0 or Sense 2.1+3.0?
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
I also think there's many enough Sense roms so my vote goes for AOSP rom(s).
[HTC Desire S] benson666:
never have tried something smoother and faster than redux on my "old" desire. Would be great if it would be available for the desire s
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So proxuser, what are you gonna do? AOSP or Leedroid?
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
I vote for LeeDroid too, it isn't worth doing another aosp rom until we get a fully working aosp kernel. And that hasn't happened yet.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
How can we get in touch with AdamG? I would love an Oxygen ROM for our Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
PM. His profile - http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=509013

Don't expect a quick reply, he must get dozens of PMs everyday.....
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That issue was for Unity V1. V2 should work.......

Issue with front camera: landscape mode = inverted image

Hi,

i'm testing LeeDroid S (3.3.3), and i think i found an issue (or i miss something):

front camera in landscape mode is showing your head upside down.

In portrait mode image is in the correct orientation, but if you turn the device 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, then the image doesn't have the correct orientation.

See attached image and confirm please.

BTW, LeeDroid is running very smoothly and has great battery, found no other issue yet.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yes, I have that too! Is that only on this ROM?? I noticed this problem when I was using skype, and I was talking upside down to my friend...

Any fix?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
the front camera image is upside down when in landscape

when in portrait its latterly inverted

that is the only bug in this ROM,its fast satble & has great battery life

really nice job proxuser :D
[HTC Desire S] :
Been running LeeDrOiD for a free days now. Fantastic rom. Only issue I've had was yesterday. I tried to send a file to a friend over bluetooth, but the phone became so unresponsive I gave up and used dropbox instead. It was almost impossible to explore the sd card using estrongs, astro and root explorer. Selecting a folder would take a full 30 seconds to acknowledge, and scrolling was horrible. Very odd. Even after I turned bluetooth off again, I had to restart to stop the lag.

Can anyone else recreate this? Try pairing with another phone. Then use a file explorer.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi , I didn't get any of these issues so far, and I have done quite a lot of file transfers via Bluetooth on this ROM. I use ES File manager. Perhaps you had a bad flash?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I thought the issue may be a problem with the camera app included. So I extracted the camera apps from other ROMs (Virtuos, lbc, and stock)

Then I deleted the one.that came.with lee Droid (via titanium backup) and replaced it with the camera apps from the other ROMs. I can confirm they all still have the problem.

So I'm guessing its a specific ROM problem. And I don't think the original developer (leedroid) would fix it, as the dhd doesn't have a front camera.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
been using the leedroid S for some time now i really love it :)

but i found one more bug on leedroid S

if i do a restart i get a notification saying that the device recovered from a abnormal restart

& also some widgets dont load properly after that & i have to delete & re-add them to make them work again

& also will you be able to port this addon V5 HTC Sense 3.0 All in 1 for leedroid(in the original leedroid thread) if you have some free time ;)
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Here is it

http://hotfile.com/dl/127020820/b61...ne_Rosie_Lock_Weather_SMS_Widgets-V5.zip.html
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
The restart notification isn't a bug :) it was also on the stock ROM. Go on settings and disable 'Tell HTC Options'

Now you won't get anymore notifications :)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yeah that helped :)

edit:i get the widget problem with only 1 widget so i think its just coincidence :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
You may have had a bad flash! Try reflashing the ROM again. When i first flashed it, I had a bug where the front camera didn't work at all. Then I flashed it again after testing a few other ROMs, and camera worked fine! Try reflashing the ROM. Or maybe you installed some poorly coded app etc.

EDIT:

I have the set time notification too sometimes when I'm connected to a WiFi connection. I don't really think it is a massive bug though :)
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Given LeeDroid a go, it runs very fast but I've also ran into the Tell HTC issue on restart and some of the widgets aren't there in the pick list, and also there's some odd ones in there that cause a FC with rosie.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Can you confirm any thing about the front facing camera?
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Front facing camera works, have installed the Rosie 3.0 pack a few posts back.
[HTC Desire S] zas666:
Does it work correctly in landscape orientation for you ?
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
Please could you attach it again

I tried the attachment for sense 3.0 all in one posted by proxuser, but I have the same bug, front cam does not work properly in landscape mode
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
another issue, when adding widget, I found corrupted widget pic

other widget are missing such as Calander, message

but in general it was a good job
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i had this problem too at first then i did a wipe and flashed the rom and addon again and now it works
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
One other issue o found, the search button in the browser directs you back to googles home page. So you cannot actually search, unless you git to Google home.
[HTC Desire S] tangjunhu:
google market cannot to load,

account and sync not Gmail, only Microsoft Exchange,
[HTC Desire S] tangjunhu:
great ROM, but some bug found:

1. GPS not work

2. Battery history crash in Spare Parts

3. SMS icon not number

look forward you can fix. thank you!
[HTC Desire S] :
Instal this to stop battery history crash...

http://db.tt/DZttwp2
[HTC Desire S] tangjunhu:
Hi, mate, thank you very much!!

Now the battery history has fixup, thanks again!!!:D

do you know how to fixup the GPS? it can not to be work!:(
[HTC Desire S] tangjunhu:
:confused: same issue again when click battery history in spare parts
[HTC Desire S] :
Perhaps spare parts is looking in the wrong place. There should be a new app in your drawer that opens the battery stats.
[HTC Desire S] labstar:
spike pure works well

hope u spend more time on Spike pure
[HTC Desire S] :
New Version of Market - Not for me

I just can't get on with this new version of the Market. This isn’t a ROM issue, but an issue with the new Market as my issues echo everything else I’ve read about it elsewhere on various ROM threads. Google busting the myth that you "Can't polish a turd."

New Market Pros;

Installs apps slightly faster....when it works.

New Market Cons:

Laggier than Laggy McLag of the clan McLag

No direct button to take me to ‘My Apps’.

‘My Apps’ shown in alphabetic order, not installation order.

Broken links on the home page.

When an update is available, it usually only gives me the options of ‘Open’ or ‘Uninstall’. No ‘update’ button available. :mad:

Frequently sits there perpetually ‘connecting’.

Frequently says ‘No Connection – Retry’ when I have a perfect WiFi connection.

Frequently hangs when trying to refresh ‘My Apps’.

I’ve had enough of going into ‘Manage Applications’ and hitting ‘Force Stop’ then ‘Clear Data’ which is the only way to stop the last 4 points. So I’ve found a flashable zip of the stock 2.3.6 Market version. I can confirm it works perfectly and is back to being Function-Over-Form, not the other way around! For those of you also missing the old version, download from here then flash in recovery...

http://db.tt/Cv9UtJd

P.S. I did a full wipe prior to flashing LeeDrOiD like I always do, and have since tried it again to rule out a bad flash. Problem persisted.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
same here man..new market just sux big time..also use older version coz its fast and no fc and other bull ****s.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Cheers mate!

Works perfectly!

,I also hated the new market for being really laggy.

Glad to have to old one back!

Hope Google update the new market to be more usable, then I may switch back
[HTC Desire S] tangjunhu:
Now I'm flashed to [ROM] [19-AUG] RCMix S 2.5 Android 2.3.4 + Sense 3.0

work well. :D
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
excuse me wrong post
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
I just installed Cool AceS v2. How to adjust the overclocking setting in this ROM?
[HTC Desire S] wankaxd:
Any experiences with battery life on Spike Pure S? What about GPS?
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
I tried port Oxygen to Desire S but no chance with my knowledge. But i believe someone can do it.

LeeDroid HD 3.3.2 is fully ported and working well. I just need permission from LeeDroid to publish it. I currently uploading leedroid for desire s and it take half hour to upload complete.

by the way, LeeDroid HD Rom hasn't so much difference of our 2.3.3 Roms.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
hmm, so is it sense 3.0 or 2.1+3.0
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
that is sense 2.1. but there are patches to make it 2.1+3.0.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
:) I think i can port any roms, the thing is that i want permission from the creator of the rom to do it :P
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Please take a shot on a Oxygen ROM.
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
would be great a Oxygen port to Desire S. That is out of my knowledge ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
superkid, you're an AOSP genius. If anyone here can port Oxygen, it's you. Ask AdamG http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=509013

What i think is, you should make a new ROM from the android source like you did from CM7. That could be you're very own, brand new AOSP ROM :D
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Or you have really good ideas

Or you read my mind

Or you had been watching my github : https://github.com/superKid

;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hmm, so you are making an AOSP ROM?!?!?! I don't understand Github :p
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Trying lol :P i want my own rom too! xD
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Good luck to you !!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Redux bro...

Oxygen isn't as minimalistic as redux...

Redux is kinda most smallest most minimalistic and smoothest rom....

So would suggest go for that...

Welll lee droid same as our rom bingo as u said...

Not much change
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Will work on them tommorow, as i will be at home :P
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
i suggest you leave Redux and Oxygen, and work on your own ROM. It would be compiled from android source, so it would be much better than a port.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I would say redux...

Cos if you compile the most minimalistic source what you get is REDUX...;)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yeah, but whats the fun of taking others work.

And a source will never work better if its optimized for one device...with his own tweaks and fixes

I will continue with mine.. and if i take too much time i will port the others...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Very smart choice. I was trying to point out the same thing. Redux is good as it is heavily optimized for the desire. It may not be as good on the desire s. It's not a good idea to port pure AOSP roms. It's better to make one, optimized for your device. superkid is capable of making somthing better, i know it.
[HTC Desire S] 522122:
Sorry for offtopic.

Superkid I'm wondering if you can't post more details when you are porting roms, because i think it could much improve android development.

For example, I ported rom from nexus s but in logcat were many errors regarding to openGL and I dont have that much time to check what files are needed to be changed. I also ported dhd miui and had same bugs that everyone at beggining.

Hope you understand what I mean. It would preatty usefull if you post something like to fix this and that I moved files .. from stock sense rom, ... etc

Edit:

I'm sure when you did your work you were in touch with some kernel devs and whatever and they gave you some usefull informations.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
No really, didnt got help in ports, only in source a bit :P

If you need any help talk to me
[HTC Desire S] Traged:
how can i port something?
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
No you don't, you get DevNull by AdamG. Its only about 47MB in size, and it flies. Used to run it on my original Desire, and who makes redux anyway? Because a lot of the AOSP roms on the desire were just rips from anything AdamG did, including anything by Richard Trip.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ok chuck..Lets hope we get more AOSPs...

So hows this rom...

A detailed review...

Bugs...speed...stability...battery...
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
we dont need an aosp like devnull or oxygen. we have more than 500 mb for system reserved. if you want simple aosp, install cm7 and dont use the hacks ;) simple way.

i just played with cm base hydrogen rom from desire hd and i use it since yesterday. of course with superkid system files. battery & speed performance are very good. also has a good design. i got with oc over 3500 in quadrant. tap bench is over 8000.

if anyone want it, i can share.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
i do !!! I'd really like a pure AOSP ROM, quite bored of Sense :p

Upload it as soon as you can
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
Yeah stick it up, if you have the go ahead. Should be good :)
[HTC Desire S] maroof.saeed:
Please upload it
[HTC Desire S] maroof.saeed:
BTW i have flashed sense 3.0 all in one pack from download directory and it works well on this rom. Waoo gr8 experience.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Whats the problem...Just test to check if alls ok...upload ;)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Also...:P :P :P

This thread was supposed to be pure spike rom thread...

But we have forgotten the topic and have discussed all abt aosp...Best one and so on...Demand for more Aosp porting...

I guess either sum1 give a review or some comment on the Pure Spike rom if some one downloaded it...so that this thread sticks to its meaning for atleast 1 post :D :D :D...

Or rename it as a 'AOSP Request Thread'....:P :P :D
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
i am at work right now. i can upload it with phone too but i dont have enough megabytes :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Same here...:P

So can wait till nyt :D...

Just post wheneva u do it...

Wanna try something new tonite...

So its either hydogen or spike pure...

Btw which one u liked ???
[HTC Desire S] ritterchen:
I am with the Spike Rom now - it looks clean, it is fast, it is very stable and the best of all:

it works with my Volkswagen Bluetooth Car Kit! None of the AOSP Roms did that...

I like it very much !
