Awesome Rom brotha! Thx. It's working better than the other one ;)

Does this Rom have Dragon kernel by default or must one install it manually? I ask because in an earlier post u mentioned that it did indeed have the Dragon kernel but when I browse the phone info it just says Cyanogen for kernel name & Dragon isn't mentioned.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
The latest version doesn't include the Dragon kernel. Just flash it manually if you would like to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Cool, thanks

After rooting my device, doing a titanium backup, and removing some of the bloatware, Verizon apps ect... I did a factory reset, and after i went through the gmail account process, I was brought to the Setup Accounts page, I went through the steps of setting up my accounts, and then clicked done. Then I get a force close saying it didn't work, and it needs to restart. Then I'm brought back to the Setup Accounts page, and the process continues. Please help! my phone is unusable like this!
[Motorola Droid 3] qudwis:
you need to factory reset again (sbf your phone)..

then data wipe on android recovery mode and start over
[Motorola Droid 3] V0nice:
I did Factory Reset again! through the hardware process. (holding x and turning on the phone. then using volume keys to choose factory reset.) what's sbf??

How do I wipe data on android recovery mode? Please help
[Motorola Droid 3] techdigital:
This is a easy fix

First get someone to send a text message to your phone

tap their number on the right side of the text, it will take you into dialer, Tap the microphone at the bottom right corner in dialer select goto then settings,then applications then debugging and enable it... then go and get this file AccountAndSyncSettings.apk then go to adb and push that file using this command....

adb push AccountAndSyncSettings.apk /system/app | chmod 0644 /system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk

That should fix your problem... OR use Pete's Moto Tools to restore everything...
[Motorola Droid 3] pedromartinez:
The fix.

Thanks you got me on the right track. I got it working with these methods. I couldn't text so I had to find another work around. Google "Issues with droid 3 after rooting and doing system restore". It is located on droidforums.net. I can't post outside links so you can see the fix on that thread.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SzosszeNET:
Hello,

A friend of mine took his phone to a shop to have it unlocked.

Well not a success story.

He got back, the black light is on but the phone does not seem to do anything and does not respond any button, short, long press, we tried.

Sorry tech data : xperia mini, he thinks it did run 2.1

Please give us hints to:

1. recover his phone

2. unlock it

Many thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rect2409:
Can you get it into flash mode (where the led is solid green) at all and then use seus to do a restore to clean stock rom?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Lancerfq:
Download, sony ericsson update service (not pc companion), switch off phone completely, start seus, connect usb cable to computer, with phone off hold the back button while connecting usb to phone, even if phone says its got latest update click next and it should re-install android 2.1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SzosszeNET:
It does not even respond to the power on button, seems as it's always powered on, but without anything appearing on the screen. As this type has built in battery we have to wait until the battery does discharge...

Also tried the official flasher, it does recognize the phone, but does not send it to recovery mode.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] panosb26:
Remove battery put it again and then follow the instructions of Lancerfq

Unfortunately, I'm a Sense fan. :o :rolleyes:...so will take persuding to move away from the interface, as been using it for many years, but, I still appreciate a piece full of insight and advice written for the communities benefit. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)

I'll reference this in the development INDEX next to CM7 ROMS
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Yeah, I can understand why so many people strictly adhere to Sense ROMs... for me the "slight prettiness" of Sense doesn't justify the hammering of the battery... especially as I actually preffer the L&F of Cyanogen anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
If I have gotten 18 hours with almost always screen off I returned the phone. With nomal usage my phone last more than one day. Keeping the screen almost always off last almost 2 days with wifi and sync turned on (to be honest, never reached that again). ROM is whether LBC or rooted stock whith stock HTC kernel. So I can find any problem there. Nevertheless, this is a smartphone, and I always have a charger with me :-)

I will try CM and what the battery life is like.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Profile = Charging AC

Max = 157440 (Potentially, you could set it up to 2GHz, but I have stability concerns, and I can't possibly see any circumstance where 2GHz would be remotely useful!)

Min = 192000

Scaling = smartass

Press Save

Fried CPU kgo. Overclock + Charging = Excessive heat being generated.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I have tested this setting with my own phone, and the heat increase was LESS than 1 Celcius (infintismal)... sure, if you wanted, you could use a lower value.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Its your call, your thread, I just feel that it isn't a good idea. At least even consider placing a warning adjacent to it.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
You could add a setcpu profile for limitting the temperature. I dont overclock, but when im using my phone while charging, it gets hot, so I limit the temperature at 41.1 C , so 768mhz - 245mhz , on demand.

lbc ROM, stock kernel
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I've updated the guide (see the update notes at the very top of the post). The on-AC overclock setting has been removed, and I have placed a warning about overclocking next to it.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Updated the post to address a typo in one of the SetCPU profiles (I missed a 0 from the end of 345600).
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
I will have done this process by tomorrow, I'm sure - even bought Tasker. - Hoping I wont damage something in the process since I've never dealt with an HTC phone before. :/ Since my mom bought it to me as a present, she just peeks in from time to time to check wth am I doing with it - gotta keep a satisfied grin on my face all the time while I'm figuring how to fix this problem lolz
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Really you just need to follow instructions (read everything through at least twice before you begin), be patient... and double-check everything you're abuot to do before you do it.

You can't do any more than that!

I've flashed both of these phones so many times now, and the only mistake I ever made was forgetting to clear the cache (Which results in an infinite boot loop or "soft brick", easily recovered by constantly typing "adb reboot recovery" in your Command Prompt, which will eventually make the phone re-enter recovery mode (exiting the infinite boot loop), at which point you can wipe, clear cache, reflash, and relax!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Funny, so true, in fact, did just that myself about two minutes ago while testing another ROM, meant trip to PC, plug in, power on, and then sorted adb reboot recovery

Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Good to know I'm not the only one! It's such an easy step to overlock... just a good job it's also the least fatal mistake to make!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
and then this .. Ther is no Path in User, but there is in System...Geez, so tired..What do....:/ I'm all set to flash, just this thing I think...
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
You need to reinstall Java JDK.

This has happened to me before!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Thx man I did that, I also don't have any command prompts in here :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Open Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Hold down SHIFT and RIGHT-CLICK in on that folder

Click "Open command line window here"

You're then ready to start using ADB commands ;)
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
I would really like that. Yesterday followed your guide and learning new things as i went about the CyanogenMod. I'm curious now how far my battery will bring me :-D.

At the moment i'm using the trial version of phoneweaver and automateit, which are nice programs, but if tasker is more efficient although having a steeper learning curve, i will switch in an instant.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
As a tasker convert myself, I can also say that you'll read a great review of some of its functionality and a slightly biased review of the product by wnp_79 as part of his [GUIDE] Update 28/06/11: HTC Desire S Guide (V1.03) For Newcomers to Android which is in a sticky at the top of the forum.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I'm playing around with some settings for Tasker now... trying to get a great balance to compliment SetCPU.

I'll say this.... as it is right now, my phone loses just 1% of charge (with WiFi on) per hour when the display is off! That's a standby time of almost 100 hours right there!

I'm about to run a test with the phone in "Wake Lock"to observe the battery drain from 100% to 0% as it cycles through the various performance scales I've set to vastly extend runtime.

I should also point out... my last 100% to 0% real-world test got just shy of 49 hours total runtime. I want to drag that a little higher to see if I can hit more than 12 hours with the screen on!

The reason (with my current settings) that the phone drains so much less power when the display is switched off is that it is now underclocking the CPU to one notch above the lowest clock setting! This is absolutely fine when you don't need to interact with the GUI! Best part is, soon as I turn the screen back on, the lock screen is right there... and the clock speed ramped back up for interactive use!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Oh man..I think I've done something wrong...I managed to install zip's rom, kernel and gapps but there was no update.zip file on sd card and i just skipped that thinking it was some your way of pointing me to "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-DesireS-Nexx-signed.zip" Now I get a constant loop of Cyanogen welcome android on the start even tho I wiped cache several times.

I will now factory reset again?
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
You didn't clear the cache! Connect your phone to your PC via USB, use the command line instruction "adb reboot recovery", wipe the cache (using the recovery menu on your phone) and reboot the phone. Should all be good.

Don't worry... EVERYONE forgets to wipe the cache at one point or another (I've done it myself twice now).
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
k, i've done it again, i think for the 4th time now. Same loop going on...The thing I goofd I think is I skipped the "apply update" after each zip install because update.exe was apparently missing...

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

E :Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Hang on let's just go through this again...

1) When you S-OFF'd your phone using Revolutionary, did you install the Recovery mod when it asked you?

2) When you boot into recovery, you must first do "wipe data/factory reset"

3) Once that's done, you must do "wipe cache partition"

4) Once that's done, you go to (depending on your version of the Recovery mod) "install zip from sdcard"

NOTE: If you don't see that option on the Recovery screen's main menu, please reply with a list of options it shows you (I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0)

Assuming you've got the option mentioned in step 4 you would then do "choose zip from sdcard", navigate to the ROM's zip (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-DesireS-Nexx-signed.zip). This will flash the ROM onto your phone.

You then need to do the same again, only this time using the .zip file for the Google Apps package.

You should now wipe the cache again (step 3 above)

Now do the same as you did above to flash the ROM ("choose zip from sdcard") for the Tiamat Kernel's zip.

Wipe the cache again (just to be safe)

Reboot your phone.
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
yes <i did - running Clockwork the same as you v5.0.2.0 -- also i just remembered when I did a factory reset it rebooted the phone too and I had to insert keyboard language, wifi and all that..

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

And I have all options, just not the apply /sdcard/update.zip - coz it's missing

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

So i had to do all that and then turn off fast boot option so that I can go into recovery at all...

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

btw, sorry for bothering you m8

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

i wiped normal cache and even went into advanced to wipe darvik cache, installed zip (rom) again and rebooted..Wiping cache only does a first greeting circle animation last longer...then it just goes into loop.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

lol Krave, I think it worked..I just formated phone again and did step by step with wiping cache every time...Setting up language and all now...brb
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Ok,so, at the first glance batt consumption is the same as before, maybe even more in +10 to 20 mA. But I did not apply setCpu tricks yet or tasker. I do like the look of this rom way better then the stock one i had. It is not as fast/responsive as the sense one I had.- just my first impression. One thing that changet dramatically tho is that display reports around 30% consumptio

n...but battery + brightness widget shows the same difference as before...lol and scratching my head..
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
ok, i followed the guide for maximazing the battery life. After that i played around with some apps, use autokiller, playes with tasker and with that logging with current widget.

My first impressions till now: i don't see much battery life improvement when using the tiamat kernel. I lost 7% battery life over night while doing nothing. Earlier when i used the cyanogenmod kernel i lost 0 to 1 %....

Now i switched back to the c-mod kernel and see what happens. Will use setcpu and the profiles form the guide with it though.

update: hmmm, when adjusting the profiles in setcpu, i saw (with the c-mod kernel) that there are less settings on the frequency sliders...

Some time ago, i used a tiamat version 1.0.4 from which i recall having a good battery life....

and than to think i came from windows mobile, tired of flashing and tweaking, thinking android wouldn't need all that and on android i still do...LOL
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
I installed Tasker and set a Profile which scans the mobile network cells every 30 seconds (thats taskers default value) to check if I am at home or not.

When at home -> Tasker turns ON wifi and sets mobile network to GSM only (because I have very bad 3G coverage at home).

When leaving home -> Tasker turns OFF wifi and sets mobile network to "3G preferred"

Now I am not certain if this setup actually saves me battery or if the the benefit of turning off WLAN gets eaten up by Taskers own battery demand. Do you have any recommendations or experience with this ?

I just discovered that Tasker does the 30 seconds-network-check only when display is on. With display off, it should do all checks every 10 minutes. BUT: it does not work. Tasker does no checks while display is off. The moment the display is turned on it does the checks. Is this an error related to Tasker and the Cyanogenmod rom ?
[HTC Desire S] allen oddest:
Why WiFi sleep policy is NEVER?

It seems an useful method for downloading somethings via WiFi when screen off, but not for power save.

I usually use "hibernate when screen off":)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Kernel?

I don't know if it's possible to run the stock kernel with CM7. But quite often I've found that these tasker issues are kernel related.
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:

[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Amazing guide, will have to flash Cyanogenmod just for this, battery life really sucks on Sense rom!

Another note: which dialer do all you guys use, the standard one is really bad (no T9 for one).

I don't really like Dialer One, the best one i've found so far is Tochpal Dialer.

Any other ideas?

Cheers!

Would lowering the haptic feedback settings help rather than getting rid of it completely? A little vibration is always good

Also with the soft keys. is there a way to make them light up on contact only like the Samsung galaxy phones?
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
i don't know if someone is reading my post. but just want to know what's the difference between smartass and smartassV2. thanks!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Was gonna ask the same thing. I'm using v2 because it's v2 and because it sounds slightly cooler.

Also i'm getting a huge battery drain when the screen is off. It varies between 30 and 50 mA. I followed the guide completely and also use juice defender
[HTC Desire S] nsmart:
I didn't find any changelog but from what I found out: I had lags for some seconds when srolling through my homescreens after recovering the device from standby. These lags disappeared after changing to smartassv2. Official changelog would be good.

Official changelog is here, but no hint about the differences between smartass and smartassv2.
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
Hi,

want to ask, How long it will take to calibrate battery. I follow your step and now I'm waiting in the step that say wait until the phone discharge and turn off. I'm waiting for 18hours already. Am doing the correct way or did I missed something?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
LaKraven thank you for this wonderful guide! Very easy to follow and actually works.

Some additions from me:

To get the SetCPU profiles actually working for me I added the following:

Set the profiles "Charging USB" and "Charging AC" to highest priority - 80 (because they are not active if another profile with higher priority is in use)

By the same reason the priorities of the other profiles are as follows:

"Screen OFF" - 70

"Battery <30%" - 60

"Battery <50%" - 50

"Battery <75%" - 40

"Battery <101%" - 30

scaling is SmartAssV2 (with the Tiamat kernel)

Now even if my battery is under 30 % if I plug in the charger the "Charging xx" profile activates and the frequency is going at 1036 MHz. When the screen is off it is always at 345 MHz and not influenced by the battery charge left. I am not using the night profile ("01:00 - 08:00") because I am usually sleeping then and the profile "Screen OFF" is the active one with the same settings.

EDIT: it seems that there is no need of the SetCPU application whne using Tiamat Kernel and the SmartAssV2 governor:
[HTC Desire S] Lodberg:
I'm running

-CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly

-Kernel 2.6.35.14

-Android version 2.3.7

and I don't get to choose the "smartass" CPU setting. I can choose between

Interactive conservative userspace powersave ondemand and performance

So which should I go for?

I guess powersave, am I right?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Use tiamat kernel and you should see it.
[HTC Desire S] Lodberg:

[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
Hi, what is the best or easiest way to switch to the tiamet kernel please? not sure how to use recovery to do it, could use kernel manager? or when I open the zip in file manager it opens in rom manager? assume it is sensible to wipe dalvik cache beforehand? plus wipe data? cheers
[HTC Desire S] Green_Arrow:
at the moment kernel manager is not working, however the fastest way to do it is get rom manager and go the Tiamat website using your phone, ( tiamat-dev.com/ ) and look up your phone on the right and then just choose the latest version of tiamat with sbc or non-sbc. when it downloads just choose to open it with rom manager, the rest you phone will do for you ^_^

sweet, cheers for that, just done it

no problem, i used to use this kernel before and i tried other ones and right before i read your post, i had just flashed it myself. lol
[HTC Desire S] Rick O:
Browser problem?

Since installing the CyanogenMod ROM and Tiamat kernal it is all working very well except one thing in the internet browser.

One forum that I frequent very regularly doesn't recognize that I have been there and read posts.

The posts are colour coded purple (for new) and yellow (for old).

It always comes up with everything purple unless I log out and then log in again.

This didn't happen with the stock rom.

Have I got a setting in the browser wrong?

I do like the look and feel of the rom in general. Very Good!!

Rick
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I'm not sure if I'm right but that sounds like when you choose the cached option on google. Not sure how to fix it

Anyone else???
