[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Yep, i know, i waiting Nexx to wake up to test and post.. he deserves to have the honor of posting it! :P
[HTC Desire S] heidewitzgar:
Downloading, but afraid to flash it. Guess I have to wait until Nexx wakes up ;)

Until then, can someone tell me which kernel I should use with the CM official nightly (and which kernel comes with it?), and whether it includes the newest updates and fixes like the 1.0.5?

I wanna flaaaaaaaaaaassh :P
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Nothing to be afraid of, seems its working perfect :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
woohoo !!!!!!!!!! We're finally official :D
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
This is so great... really looking forward to the first official stable release :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Stable release might take a while.... Incredible S was official for a LONG time, no stable release yet...
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I'm not having much luck with the power drain issue. Things seem to be fine on a clean install but quickly degrade after actually using it - by which I mean the idle power usage increases for some reason.

This is a portion of a nightly log after a clean install

2011/09/17 00:55:09,-20mA,100%,4.199V
2011/09/17 01:11:35,-24mA,100%,4.199V

2011/09/17 03:47:18,-20mA,100%,4.199V

All well and good and after 10 hours it was still showing 100%.

From last night's

2011/09/19 01:04:03,-36mA,74%,3.948V
2011/09/19 01:05:28,-38mA,74%,3.948V

2011/09/19 03:05:27,-38mA,69%,3.919V

Now it's losing about 2% per hour just sitting idle. That's with wifi and mobile data disabled and with network set to 2G. SetCPU is also installed with the recommended profiles. By 8am it was down to 53%

Applications installed are Titanium backup, ADWLauncher Ex, ROM Manager, SetCPU, Flash player, Dolphin Browser, Current Widget and Spotify. There's also a selection of Google apps (Gmail, maps, youtube and reader).

I've been trying to narrow it down to which application causes it but I don't see anything in that list that would be a good candidate.

The built in battery stats just say I'm using about 40% cell standby and 40% idle usage. Neither bettery battery stats nor spare sparts gave me much in terms of processes doing partial wakes and I removed both in case they were the culprits.

I'd have to think there's some sort of bug affecting the power management but I have no idea how to investigate it further.
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
confusing "battery use" page

I followes LaKravens Guide and did the Battery Calibrations exactly as described using the Battery Calibration App (Charge to 100% -> press Battery Calibration button -> unplug -> allow device to run (as normal) until fully discharged - > once phone switched itself off, plug it into the AC cable (using the mains charger).... and LEAVE YOUR PHONE SWITCHED OFF until the LED indicator goes green.

But I still have the same confusing "battery use" page as described above.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I have the same issue (see the post above). Idle power usage is sometimes (but not always) very high and when it is it seems to be the radio.

Can you check your baseband version in the about section? Mine is 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M

You could also consider installing Current Widget so you can track the usage without having to rely on battery percentages.
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
My baseband is 20.41.30.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M.

I already used current widget and the values I got are similar to yours.
[HTC Desire S] runagate17:
I installed CM nightly #0 over Nexx's v1.0.4 (missed a release, haha). I followed the instructions for an update install from the top post. All okay so far.
[HTC Desire S] Dylan '07:
My baseband version is 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M and I have the same issue. Minimum current is 16mA, average is like 22mA.

The only thing that differs is that at this moment battery use stats that Android System is draining the most power (30%), directly followed by Cell Standby (25%) and Phone idle (23%). I can't recall if Android System was on top of the list yesterday...

Anyway, I have the feeling that the battery drainage is not related to the baseband version, considering the different versions posted earlier with the same issue.

Maybe I'll flash the nightly later today, see if there's any improvement...
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Neolojik any reported bugs so far? Im downloading it now.. are your disclaimer serious? Does flashing a rom could brick my phone or destroy sd card?

Thanks to you i have been waiting for CM on my DS..
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
No reported bugs =)

The disclaimer is for my benefit. It's there so that if someone bricked their phone somehow they can't blame it on me and sue or something silly.
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
High quality video is in fact just 720x480. Looking forward to have fully functional CM on the phone finally, this sound promising. Fingers crossed. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
flashed with tiamat v1.1.1 kernel

works perfect...

currently no bug found but still testing
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Report asap any bugs.. is tiamat 1.1.1 stable? I read on their thread it has some problems on deep sleep?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Thanks for checking. I'll take a look at this tonight and see if I can't fix it =)

Added to OP as a bug.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
- Second the camera lacking HD bug. Also the sound in the recorded videos is very poor quality.

- I also have the same bug as the latest nightly, where the headphone icon does not correspond to the applied theme, it always shows the default theme's headphone icon. This obviously only happens when headphones are in fact plugged in.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
HD video recording is fixed, I'm preparing to post a flashable ZIP in the first post and will compile a new version tomorrow with the fix included. As for audio, the lower definition video settings don't use great audio codecs. The HD recording uses AAC and it sounded great when I tested it a moment ago.

As for the icon bug, that's an upstream CyanogenMod bug, not something from my device layout I believe. I'll take a look and see if I can find if there is a fix for it.

I'll post again when the flashable ZIP is ready.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Flashable zip posted in the first post, or grab it here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39735742/saga-cm7-hd-videorec-fix.zip

Flash in recovery.

The fix will be rolled into the next build I post, so I'll remove the bugfix zip then =)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
NeoLojik have to say this awesome work buddy....

in love with this rom...

fast stable and amazing...

the stock kernel though doesn't provide any overclock thing but is very good and giving amazing battery performance...

So dnt feel a need for Tiamat kernel...

adw launcher a bit laggy but with reduced time for theme effects works well...

So awesome work...

Keep updating this thread...

Didnt find any bug yet...except for d camera thing...but you have given the patch for it as well...

Kudos...Great Work...:)
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
any screen-shot?
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Thanks. Fix confirmed working.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Is there any chance to post a flashable zip file for the default kernel only? This would allow to compare between the default and Tiamat 1.1.1 and go back and forth if need be, without having to reflash the entire ROM. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Certainly, give me 5 minutes to put a ZIP together for you. I'll post again with a link =)
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
CM 7.1 Default Kernel:

http://www.mediafire.com/?h7r4he96efh0vkr

As requested =)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Oops sry for that double post...

Opera behaving strange...

Btw default kernel is very good...
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Awesome

I will try this kernel today (I hurriedly flashed the Tiamat 1.1.1 right after flashing the ROM yesterday so never got a chance to try it out!)

Awesome work on this ROM. There were a lot of minor issues with all the other ROMs, that didn't really affect functionality, but were a little annoying, such as not being able to hear a phonecall when making a call with headphones and not having any music playing while initiating the call, headphone music was routed to the speaker when an app starts recording, etc etc. None of these issues seem to exist on this ROM. Also the boot up time seems a lot quicker.

Now with the HD video recording problem fixed, the only thing is the headphone icon issue I posted earlier, which to be honest hardly counts as an issue.

So once again, great work!
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
Thx for kernel.Tiamat kernel work good but i had battery drain...tested with cm7,miui and hydrogen
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Nightly builds:

NIGHTLY builds are now available

Please keep all discussion of nightly builds to that thread.

This thread will continue to serve for official releases.
[HTC Desire S] runagate17:
CurrentWidget is known to report double the amps of other current tools (such as Battery Monitor Widget), there is a setting to calibrate that reading by dividing it by 2.

8mA is what I get when I leave the phone idle.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
Right now I'm getting 16 (which matches yours if you divide by two)

You can see from my log of last night it was draining more than twice that. I haven't changed any settings or added/removed any applications.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Nightlies are built using the absolute latest code when that nightly is generated. The idea is: once we get a stable release, you have the choice of running something older but stable (stable releases), or newer but untested (nightlies).

Nightlies have the same as the stock ROM, a stock CyanogenMod kernel. I *strongly* recommend flashing Tiamat-Saga though, the battery life improvements are fantastic. (more on that below)

I imagine our first stable release will happen when CyanogenMod 7.1 goes final. Right now it's at RC1, I'm fairly sure RC2 is due sometime in the near-ish future. As for after then, who knows.

Currently running 1.0.5 I've done 37 hours on the battery and lost 31%. The phone has been used a lot in that time too, not just idle.

Please note, both "Battery Monitor Widget" and "Current Widget" report different values. All my tests are run with battery monitor widget and no actual widget on the desktop, just background logging.

Also please note that using the included kernel will result in significantly shorter battery life. The Tiamat kernel features a multitude of power saving features which the stock kernel lacks. On my phone the difference between the two at idle was 30-35mA on the stock kernel VS 6-8mA on Tiamat.

My battery usage shows the following:

45% Mobile standby

44% Phone idle

8% Wi-Fi

2% Display

2% Android System

Running baseband 20.41.30.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M

See above.

Thanks for testing! =)

To everyone having power issues, please check the following:

Spare Parts > Battery History > Change "Other Usage" to "Partial Wake Usage"

Please report the top few entries and if any of them have significantly long bars.

Thanks =)
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
I have been using the Tiamat kernel version 1.1.2 (have not tried 1.1.3 yet) but it have some kind of volume boost on incoming calls that the CM kernel does not have.

When I receive a call the caller’s voice is very loud and I have to turn it down a bit. If a new call is received I have to do it again. This does not happen on the CM kernel.

Am I right about this, does the Tiamat kernel use some kind of volume boost?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
...they say it's a feature ...not bug :)))
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Yeah it does, a few people have mentioned it and I may see if Cayniarb can't find a middle ground for the next release. Louder but not deafening =P
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The improvement should be good, the tiamat kernel is deafening :p
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
Arh... not a very good feature ;)

I think it should follow the "master" volume for calls and remember it, not overrule (if changed during a call) and boost again on the next call.
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
+1 for that. The way it's now is too loud !

After restart of device the volume is always on its maximum. For my ears the lowest setting is loud enough.

On outgoing call - when i press volume down - with one press the volume goes from max to low. It seems to remain so until restart of device.

On incoming call - volume always resets to max on every incomming call. Tiamat kernel does not respect/read the volume setting set by user, so volume has to be set again with every incoming call.

This way I cant use Tiamat kernel, although the smartassv2 is a real improvement, I experienced no wakeup-lags from standby as with smartass governor
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:

RE: Battery Drain.

Battery widgets in themselves can be part of the problem, try un-installing and see if there's any difference.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I thought the same, considering the widget might be waking it up and draw power but I've seen no real link. I've tried no widget, Battery Monitor Widget and Current Widget.

I've also tried going app by app to see if there's one that causes the problem but it seems to be almost random. There's definitely something screwing up the power management intermittently but I don't know what.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
So what are your stats on a fresh install with no apps?

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i467/Completely_Hatstand/screenshot-1316510011719.png
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
Fresh install no apps (except the battery monitor) is here The battery usage is fine in that case.

At some point though it all starts to go wrong and I haven't been able to single out a particular app or usage as responsible. Ideally I'd do a clean install and then not install anything for a few days but then that leaves my phone a bit useless!
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
There is little point in testing anything as you have been doing unless you start with a clean slate! You NEED a fresh install.

In fact, I'm almost certain your problem will be cured by A FRESH INSTALL, re-install your apps with no data.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I don't think you're reading my posts. I've gone back to a fresh install many times trying to isolate at what point exactly the power drain starts, the most recent clean install being on the evening of the 16th so I could do an overnight test with the default install.

Going back to a clean install may well fix the problem today but it'll also just as likely to be back tomorrow without me having doing anything which should obviously lead to a reduction in battery life/an increase in idle power usage.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Forgive me this is a lengthy thread. What recovery are you using? Maybe it would be worth pushing a new one. Extra fresh. :D
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
Clockworkmod Recovery v5.0.2.0 I flashed the latest before installing 1.0.5
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
So what your saying is; The problems started from this new Recovery install? Its possible you've had a bad flash, if I were you I'd return to the old recovery and see what gives. Or possibly re-flash v5.0.2.0.

I'm running v4.0.0.4 with no issues.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
No the problem existed all along, in 1.0.4, 1.0.3 etc. If there was obvious difference like that I'd have gone back a version to test.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
OK. I'm all out of ideas, the only other thing I can suggest is; Eat more pies! I have a pasty in front of me at the moment and it is a disappointment.

When you insert the Power Widget onto the desktop (long tap and it brings up a menu). You have an option as to what options to have on it. This includes turning wifi on/off, turning mobile data on/off and turning off sync. Have you tried this? Then at least you have the option on your desktop!

Nexx recommends the Tiamat kernel because of a lot of tweaks and longer battery life. But the Tiamat kernel is suffering from a very annoying volume boost on incoming calls and therefore I am using the CM kernel which, by the way, isn’t bad at all...

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@Bubaaak

Are you sure that you have calibrated your battery?

Try this:

1) charge the battery until the led indicator is green

2) power off

3) if the led is not green continue charging until it becomes

4) reboot to recovery and wipe battery stats

For me this ROM has great battery life (the record so far is more than 4 days of moderate use)

PS: don't use any battery widgets, there was a discussion here that they can affect the battery life
[HTC Desire S] Bubaaak:
Mine record is now about 24 hours without doing anything whatsoever... :confused: Battery calibrated for sure...
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@Bubaaak

This is really strange. You can have better battery life even with the Stock ROM. Maybe you have to wipe everything from recovery and reflash without restoring any backups and try using it clean for a couple of days. If you still have a problem maybe your battery is crappy.

Hey guys I am using this ROM with the new Radio 20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00.24_M.

Is the /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so updated for this version or I have to flash the RIL also?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Do NOT flash any libhtc_ril.so into an AOSP ROM. We're using a RIL library designed for an AOSP system, flashing any of the Desire S stock ones, which are designed for a Sense ROM, will cause all manner of issues.

By all means, update the radio, but don't use the accompanying libraries or files that come with it.

Nexx does not have control over the nightlies. Cyanogen or anyone else of the CM maintainers could merge a patch thats breaks the Desire build (this is unlikely though).
