A suggestion would be for you to:

go into recvovery

take full Nandroid backup

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

then re-flash v1.1a of this ROM

this wouldn't cause any data loss and would mean that you get the original BOOT back (which contains the stock kernel)

First boot may several minutes
[HTC Desire S] Hungry hustler:
@mimirom hey dude i had the same problem and i also runing the voidU and unity V9. Go to camcoder>menu and turn stereo recording off. now try again :)

hope it helps
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Top Tip of the day!

Brilliant!, Many Thanks!

Have tried this running UNITY v9 kernel and video recorder functions ok - no reboot!:D
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
If you have a second, what are the main advantages of Unity V9 over the stock kernel that comes with this rom? Is it worth flashing? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
now that video recording isn't an issue, see above thread, loads...you can overclock.....see this thread for further details...............we cover most of them...

[HTC Desire S] zeetype:
+1 to that.
[HTC Desire S] doc_bravn:
On my phone in full dark button backlight not turn on. :(
[HTC Desire S] zeetype:
Try covering the sensors right below the left end of the speaker grill. The backlight should turn on.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Buttons!

Just a personal thing, I never get why people complain about the button light so much....:rolleyes: Surely when they're lit you just burn battery, plus, its not like they ever change their place or position, so you should ultimately always know where they are! ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
+1

But ben, seeing as you have used lbc for a long time, how did you manage to switch off the backlight keys in his rom??

They are always on by default!
[HTC Desire S] zeetype:
Lol. Maybe HTC should put some florescent buttons that glow in the dark just in case.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Now that's some clever thinking :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, clever on paper, but it would look weird. The button lights should be like they are on the Galaxy S II. The light up when you touch the screen, and stay on for a specified time (1.5 seconds by default). The don't rely on the proximity sensor.
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
Which is better this one or this ?
[HTC Desire S] juniorxdb:
the voidu is the better for now... no bugs, nice tweaks

Is Voidu compatible with new Virtuous Kernel? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100396&page=15
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup it is...:)

A beast :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh, its like that on my tab aswell.. tbh though, I think lighting up in the dark is a very smart idea though!

I would like my Samsung phones to be like that
[HTC Desire S] juniorxdb:
Voidu+Unity V9=> Works, but the mirror is up side down on portrait

BT, WiFi=> Works fine

eReader=> didin't work
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ereader won't work with the unity kernel for some reason, but works with the stock
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
rom is just AWESOME!

loving the extra tweaks!

ill w8 with flashing Unity V9 until the battery thingy is resolved.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What battery thingy?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well after 90 odd percent it discharges rather than charge :P
[HTC Desire S] :
I really love this rom. With unity v9 and overclocked to 1.3 GHz its a beast :)

Definately my daily-to-use rom for now.
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
So is your phone charging properly with v9?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well a simple suggestion change ur kernel...

Phone doesnt charge in v9...

Else hope u have spare battery when ur battery goes down :P
[HTC Desire S] pfgiz:
Standard 2.6.35.10.

I haven't played too much with the phone so it looks to still be the HTC one.

Nice! But we still have the front camera upside-down!

Yupee :p thanks man!

I use whatsapp daily.. ;) Hope it will be fixed on next release...

and how to change the notification background to white ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you read the last few pages of this thread you should find both a white notification zip and a link that I've put in to a FC fix, which may work on whatsapp, don't use it myself do don't know

Hi folks,

what's with the lagging keyboard? Anyone had that?

It's always a little struggle to bring up the keyboard, right? To simply tap once into the text field is not enough.

Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
+1!!

I have a lag problem on the keyboard to open it. But it only hapens once when I boot my device when it is powered off. the its fine
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Yep, get that too. Slightly annoying, but like the ever increasing cost of a loaf of bread have learnt to live with it.

Peace

[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Yea it's not that bad. Can live with it easily. On the other hand, in case it's easy to fix it, then there might be will to bring the rom closer to perfection.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
i get this too, but only after first booting up!
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:

[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Hi,

I read this in the [SAGA]Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 Based on Pyramid thread, under FEATURES:

Built-in screen state frequency scaling (1.2Ghz-245MHz/ondemand screen-on, 806Mhz-245Mz/conservative screen-off), via custom built Virtuous_OC C daemon.

There are interesting news about the way we can rapidly scale CPU according to screen state, without an application doing it. (Like SetCPU)

Is this also the case now with VoidU v1.1a? Since it says in the changelog: "added virtous oc (for users who use unity kernel)"

This is a link to the INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW OVERCLOCKING DAEMON from over there, in case you're interested.

EDIT: It's there. I just checked in the /system/etc/virtuous_oc/ on my phone. The frequencies set are a bit different. The max freq. in wake state is slightly lower then 1.2Ghz and the max freq. for the sleep state is considerably lower (around 380 Mhz, I think.)

So don't forget to uninstall SetCPU or whatever app that fiddles with cpu frequencies, if you want use this. According to the abovementioned introduction it's gonna disable itself if it finds these apps.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Hmm, good point. I flashed the unity kernel earlier on today to give it a try so it could be that.

Will go back to stock kernel when I get a chance tomorrow & see what gives.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
you don't need to worry this particular OC daemon was included within this ROM as per version 1.1a.

UN install set CPU is a must

Funnily enough a thread was started in general earlier this evening regarding the configuration of exactly these features for this ROM , so see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1281000

You will need the unity v9 kernel installed as that will allow you to over clock, under clock and under volt, there is a simple GUI tool referenced in the link above that will explain and enable you to do all this.

Enjoy

[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Yea, I noticed that thread in general section before. Great. Just at that time it was focused on the undervolting only so I didn't notice it's also concerned with the overclocking daemon.

See you there :D

Bye
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Good point we should get the title altered so as not to mislead and it can cover all three topics....if that's not going to be too broad.

But they are all closely related so good to discuss together.
[HTC Desire S] Naff:
What does the "secure SMS" feature do?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Went back to stock HTC kernel, USB sdcard access has returned. :cool:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
what HBOOT do you have? find this SD card odd, as I've said before, never had it occur to me once! :confused:
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
HBOOT-2.00.2002

Its definitely kernel related, so will stick with the stock one for now.

Although considering giving prox's runny1.4 a go ...

Peace
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Ok I haven't been following this thread so forgive me if it has already been asked. Firstly, is there any way to change the notification area back to white? Also is there any way to get a transparent dock like in virtuous unity? And finally, any way of getting the battery percentage inside the battery rather than next to it? Any help appreciated
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
There's a patch for the white within the thread.

Why dont you just deactivate the battery icon and use the percentage ;)

I do that
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
but then it's a just a boring old percentage! :p
[HTC Desire S] det66:
I was having the prob last night but haven't tried to sync with the pc today
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
For me, it was definitely kernel related - fine with stock kernel, no sdcard access with unity.

It could be a combination of unity + new hboot, who knows.

[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Hello,

I have the following characteristics on my device:

Rom: Official HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4

Radio: 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M

HTC Sense: 2.1

hBoot: 6.98.1002

Build: 1.47.401.4

Superuser: v2.3.6.3

ClockworkMod: 5.0.2.0

May I flash this rom without any problem? Or should I modify the hBoot?

Furthermore, I am a little bit worried about the overclock. If I use the kernel above, the overclock is not enabled? :confused:

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
you should have no problem flashing this rom with your current setup:)

This rom works great with the stock kernel. no need to overclock in my opinion, but if u still want to it is fully compatable with the unity v9 kernel which u can flash via recovery and overclock using the virtuous app

hope this helps:cool:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Nope, as I have both new HBOOT and v9 unity and no SD problems as yet <touching wood>
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've followed this guide but it says:

E:Error in /sdcard/voidu-1.1a.zip (Status 1)

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I had the same problem while installing the runny v1.4 ROM.

I got the following : E:Error in /sdcard/Runny1.4.zip (Status 1)

Solved by rebooting recovery.

So while in recovery, do a

"reboot recovery"

option, then flash zip from sd card. It'll work for sure...

Hope this helps...:D
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Great! It worked!

Very wonderful ROM, it is flashed now!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I am installing again all the applications on this new ROM but for many application the market stucks on "Loading..." after selecting "Install".

Why?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
don't know why this happens, but i have to same problem.

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

new sense 3 official rom is due out today though so i would wait for that if i was u:cool:
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
OK,

Now, I'm trying to use AppBrain Fast Web Install to restore all the applications.

I hope it works.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
i find that it works if you go on the market from your pc and install from there and it automatically installs them direct to your device. try that
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Well, I am now installing with App Brain Fast Web Install. No download problems and it is proceeding now installing one application at time before having downloaded them all. It seems good, very good.

ok, glad you managed to sort it

I noticed some echo problem during a call. Is there a way to solve?
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
Hi guys, been using this Rom for a week and it rocks! Is there any way to delete phone numbers from the main phone app? I am about to give my Desire S to my dad with this Rom as I have a Sensation now but it still has my numbers in it, even after deleting them from the contacts app.

Also, there is an update for Google Maps but it just hangs in the loading screen, anyone else have this? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
open phone app, then menu then call history then menu delete all
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Using this ROM I encountered some "bugs":

1) Echo of my voice during a phone call (as I've already said before)

2) Tapping the following button causes the opening of the browser at the HTC site:

3) I am trying to download some Locations Map but I always get the following message: "Some contents have not been completely downloaded on the device the last time the application has been closed. Continue the download?" If I select OK the map is not being downloaded. How to unlock it?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
this is not a bug. go into rc tweaks and there is a setting to turn that key off and set it back to default!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks! And what about the other two points please?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
not sure about that one, sorry
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
no echos here. location works fine..
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
In truth it is not really an echo effect, but it feel my voice like if I was in a closed environment. It is noticeable but not so annoying. I can notice it because it didn't behave in that way before with the stock ROM.

Location works to me but I had that issue with the map. Anyway it seems to be present but if I try to upgrade or download further maps it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
Thanks, I had already tried that and it clears the call history, but when you open the main phone app and you have your list of phone numbers (I assume on the internal memory?) they are all still there, I want to get rid of them. I'm guessing a factory reset is needed? I take it that just means that it will be as if I installed this rom after full wipe?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
It might just need a cache wipe from recovery, rather than total reset?

Sent from directly above the centre of the earth
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
Just tried that too, and also a fresh full wipe and install - old numbers are still in the phone app!! Will try a factory reset and see what happens, will the fact that it's running a custom rom affect anything with a factory reset?
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I don't understand if it is possible to setup the animation when unlocking the screen.

Yeh I had to disable and re enable them so it works
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
anybody got probs with video recording?

tried on several resolutions, and when i press record, phone freezes, and then reboots after few secs...

could be UnityV9 too though...

turn the audio to record in mono! then it should work;)
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
lol really? lemme try :)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Its a known fault but easy fix is go to video options and disable record in stereo and it should work fine ;)
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
yeah works like a charm!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I have Stereo recording enabled and I don't have any problem :)

I'm having problems in the installation/upgrade of some packages using the Android Market (I'm obliged to use AppBrain that works very well), I would like to reinstall it.

I would like to reinstall the version 3.1.5.

What do you think about that? Alternatives?
[HTC Desire S] Naff:
Anyone who can enlighten me?
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
You can move whatever SMS or MMS you want to a secure folder that is presumably encrypted and password protected. For instance, when you want to safely keep a password on the phone that you received via SMS.
[HTC Desire S] Naff:

I don't know what happened but it seems to be working now. I could upgrade ES file manager now and it didn't stuck on loading...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yep, I too had this issue, drop into recovery (CWM or 4EXT) and clear the CACHE , reboot and then try again.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Within meaning to repeat (spam) my post too many times, I thought that as I'm running this ROM I should at least share it once more (with you guys)

I'm guessing that you've all seen this post [SECURITY] HTC security vulnerability said to leak phone numbers, GPS data, and more

I also have a HTC loggers as a running application on my device which is set to start at boot and has access a huge amount of potentially damaging information (location, network access, personal information, development tools, storage, system tools etc) :mad:

Well I did have HTC loggers running so I've since removed it. Using a combination of Task Manager and Titanium Backup its now gone. :)

Task Manager - Force stop, clear data and clear cache

Titanium Backup - Uninstall the application.

A lack of any decent response from HTC is also unimpressive especially after they have recently impressed with the turnaround on un-lockiung our Bootloaders. :(
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Do you guys experience any call answer delay ?
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
No, only a sort of echo, but it is not so noticeable.
[HTC Desire S] themrfox:
Maybe I found a problem... When I try connect to Internet through my phone via Internet-sharing options, Windows asking about drivers for Android phone, but usually that should be emulation a new network interface.

Does anyone have this trouble?!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I can't try on Windows but on Linux it works very well. I guess if it works on Linux it works on Windows too.

The only thing I would recommend is to install again the drivers.
[HTC Desire S] themrfox:
fbcyborg, most interesting that things, that earlier it's working without any drivers at all...

so what should i do now?. . . .i think this started when i tried using 4EXT -Recovery tho i quickly changed back to clockworkMod

How can i get the normal ssettings/notification for the USB back?

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Why would you switch recovery? 4EXT is great! the recovery would have nothing to do with this issue!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
i am using CWM recovery myself. I see that everybody is recommending EXT4...?

Why is that?

What performance benefits does it offer as compared to CWM?

What happens if i change to EXT4 and flash a ROM backup made by CWM?

Could you please guide me regarding this? Thanks in advance...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It's an custom recovery based on cwm.

You will get no performence benefits, but a bigger range of tools like formatting partitions to 4ext format ...

There's no change, you can use the backups like before. Like I said it's based on cwm.

4Ext Recovery
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
Strange ,I read that many users have front camera issue but My front camera seems to work fine on this Rom & vu with unity v9 kernel

Edit: I doesn't work :(

My mistake,I didn't notice that it was inverted
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm not knocking CWM - it's great and without it we'd all be in trouble, but, for this device the support offered by 4EXT is stunning, product is based on CWM v5 but as many more additional features, constanstly being improved on, can be themed and is much more user friendly - you don't get sore fingers when flashing for a start!

(just my opinion - if you're happy with CWM stay on it - each to their own).
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Hi, I am facing with a problem that I've never had with the stock ROM. It is related to the pictures sent via MMS. Actually if I try to send a little picture there is no problem with the send function but if I take a picture and then I attach to the MMS or taking the picture directly from the MMS function I'm not able to send the MMS. I don't know if it is an issue related to the max dimension of the attachment, but I always receive this message in this cases: "It is impossible to send the message after many attempts".

I don't know if the translation is correct, but the message is like that.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sorry, but does that mean you don't need to press volume buttons to toggle?

In CWM, I can use the menu, search button to toggle aswell as the volume buttons.

I only use CWM, because it appears to integrate well with ROM Manager app
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Yes, you still do, just a little less. No biggie tho, whoever got blisters from presing the volume up/down??

Good enough :D

Themeing a recovery menu seems so redundant to me, but I guess it keeps some folks happy :D

Peace
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I agree. Tried and tested. Stable. Sticking to CWM.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
4EXT makes your partitions Ext 4, so the phone is quiet faster. Theming is a small part, the real deal is EXT 4. It really affects ROM Flash, and partition wipe speed. I flashed 2 ROMs simultaneously, one on my phone (4ext), one on my friends (CWM 3) 4ext finished muuuuuch faster.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Going from 4EXT Recovery to plain Clockworkmod is like cutting your arms and legs off, sure you can talk and breathe, but good luck with any "efficient" activities ;-).

EXT4 is a fantastic file system as well, the way it stores data its extremely efficient, reliable and fast.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thanks for that! i thought the ROMs were alreasdy packed as EXT4 when they were cooked?? :confused:

because when im flashing a ROM through CWM , it says something about EXT4 partitioning
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Need some help guys, was playing around with boot manager and there is a setting in extras - VM Heap size, opened the menu and by mistake selected 32 while booted in main phone ROM, after that went for a reboot. Don't have any problems as such. Contacted the developer, he says if it was done from phone ROM, it will change the value of the running ROM. My concern is that if Voidu 1.1a works on a different heap size, I may have problems, right? Can someone tell me the default heap size from their build.prop file. Thanks

BTW CM7 runs flawlessly via boot manager, awesome app, ROM support needs to increase though.
