If they worked would they it be any fun?

Welcome Back! :)

My first sugestion was to say delete FB account (alongwith with any others that you have like twitter etc) but,t it douns like you've already done that :(

so my only suggestion left, is delete Google account - which means starting again - as this is same as full reset! :rolleyes:

Good Luck
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks Ben :)

I've already done all the other options

your always here to help :) will give it a hard reset in a few days time and see how it goes!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just a thought...

You could always:

take a nandroid backup

perform the full-reset

test to see of problem is resolved (enter only google and facebook sync'ing details)

restore backup - until such a point that you have the time to reset up your phone

At least that way you'd know if that will help!

EDIT: Does this and the sentence above look like it's in a smaller font to the rest of the post (when read from a PC) it does for me and it seem's like that always happens when I use the LIST option...
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yes,it does seem a little smaller

@olyloh6696 i have the same problem 2,but it doesn't affect me much as i flash different ROMs often

but try a cache+davlik cache wipe before doing a full reset
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks guys :) I notcied in my people app, I get no pictures at all, but when i get a phone call, or text, the picture comes up :S whichis weird

Also when I add a person to the people widget, their pic comes up. Strange... It's not coming in the people tab.. I will try doing a reset in the next few days...

Thanks guys for answers!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
What do you think?

Hello, Going totally off topic here...But...(figured this one was closed for now) :rolleyes:

Have either of you two tried this [ROM] [16 SEP] Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 [v1.1 STABLE][Official Desire S ROM] yet? I have and it's great, apart from a few small cosmetic issues that can be easily overlooked and don't really effect use - it appears to be fully functional.

I never previously liked any of the the re-sized Sense 3.0 ROMS (like Virtious Unity) and even though I flash most of the Sense 3.0 add-ons to the LBC base I don't use the 3-D Rosie launcher, but by comparison this one is great - as if it's literally made for our device :D In fact I'm so impressed that I'm having a hard time in deciding whether to use this or LBC as my daily ROM.

Hopefully, LBC will take this (or ideally the next more polished leak of the same thing) and use this as the base for LBC v0.7.0 :p As this needs the a little attention and tweaking to get the best out of it. Its very close to LBC on battery usage and runs just as fast - even with the 3D launcher.

Thoughts? Comments?

ps

then of course there's always [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
bit of a work around, but try the free app syncmypix on market, works v well when the facebook app fails

edit: this has the bonus of linking the facebook photo to your google contacts too :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi Ben, I tried 0.8 version of that ROM last week. Not tried the new ones. My first impressions were, I liked the stock look and feel, but sadly i found the ROM to be slow and unresponsive. Wow, I wonder if 1.1 is fast! If it is as fast as you say, I'm quite tempted to switch from 2.1 sense! Never tested battery as I just played with the ROM for about 15 minutes. I'm just waiting for the official 3.5 sense build (hopefully) which can be optimised for stock modified performance roms (I.e - lbc mod)

Because I hear 3.5 was desgined for single core, whereas 3.0 is for dual core... So I'm quite reluctant to switch!

Atm, I'm rocking out leedroid with sense 2.1+3.0 mix :) very satisfied desire s user! (Especially since solving my issue!)

I think I may consider going back to lbc. Because I had a increased battety drainage on roms with my old battery, but now , with the new battery replacement from HTC, its lasting me real good :)

What about you? Have you decided to move from lbc to sense 3.0?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm currently swaying between the two...as there's been a recent lack of progress and even contact with LBC (I imagine that he's got a lot of work on), not that I can blame him as he's a one man band (with a family) whereas some of the other groups appear to be larger and multi-skilled and therefore have far more production time.

Currently, I've got a couple of ROMS the v1.2 Sense 3.0 one and what I regard as "old-faithful"/LBC and I'm simply using one, then backing it up and restoring the other then continuing like that ever few days.....watching whats happening elsewhere....

I didn't know that bit about sense 3.5 being designed for single core... which is promising although the leak sense v3.0 is from HTC for the saga so suggests it will be on our official OTA upgrade patch....It would be good to get that ROM optimized and tweaked as all good customs are....not just STOCK which is roughly what it is now.

Saying that I'm about to give [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] a go as it looks like its been tweaked for performance with the latest versions by the Desire HD devs...

Although it's ultimately designed for a larger screen size and I always felt that the shrunken sense experience don't look as sweet - we will see if this one looks better.

Either way looks like a good future! I'd prefer more options then less.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh :) personal life is more important, so we can respect lbc is busy.

I read about 3.5 being for single core somewhere... Because it is leaked from the bliss (800mhz device) and dhd users report it being smoother, snappier, and a lighter UI to 3.0. When the custom roms for 3.5 start popping up, I'll be glad to give them a go , for now, pretty satisfied with Sense 2.1+3.0 mix.

So is proxusers 1.1 sense 3.0 ROM as smooth / fast as lbc? Especially that is only a leaked stock ROM, imagine an optimised version by our devs of that ROM!

Please let me know (in the ROM thread) how you are finding that 3.5 sense ROM. I haven't tried it myself, as I'm quite busy atm, and don't have much free time! Would really like to see whether it really us smoother and better optimised than the 3.0 sense..

Cheers mate!
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i tried Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.8} sometime back & i found it a little slow compared to vu & also i didn't like the widget size,i prefer the size from vu

so i switched back to vu for my daily use,i would really like to try v1.1 as i heard its a lot faster

i would also like to try sense 3.5 but i think i will wait till there is a full release

(i tired the bliss version & i liked the animations a lot)

i am unable to test many ROMs as my life is sucking all my free time :(

can anyone who tried sense 3.5 from runnymede tell me if there is much difference from the bliss version?(other than the menu button bar)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
From what I gather there us a massive difference, bliss is intended as sense for girls, where's the new 3.5 Runnymede had been referred to as mans sense the full experience, I'm planning on giving it a whirl later it came out too late last night and I wanted to ensure that there were no significant issues before I have it a whirl, from what I've read the latest version has been tweaked big time so is a great deal slicker as the desire hd devs have put all their normal tweaks and hacks in.

Although I'm currently really enjoying the sense 3.0 leak for desire, it's fast and every thing works although needs a Dev to add tweaks and hacks to make it great, hoping LBC well take this as I his next base and make it slick and improve it or else might be tempted to have a go myself as would like to learn some more Dev stuff

EDIT:

Although apparently after I went to bed apparently another ROM has been released and proxuser have ported it already, this is based on sense 3 leak but tweaked

and improved by the desire hd devs (so wishes do come true ;)) Its called RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 will be loading that now! literally spoilt for choice!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow! Proxuser is doing a fine job here! We gave many roms to choose from now!

Just out of curiousity, what exactly would you like the dev (lbc) to tweak and modify the ROM by?

I'm quite tempted myself to try this new ROM!

Sense 3.5 Runnymede is for men haha! Lol, I never knew that!

But runnymede is a 4.7" 1.5Ghz dual core phone!

So will runnymede sense be as smooth as bliss sense??
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yeah proxuser is doing awsome :)

i dont think Runnymede is dualcore

this leaked specs say that its single core

im interested in knowing what ROM cooks tweak to make the rom faster(is it build.prop & init.d? if it is then i have some experience :D)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh Yeh! It's not dual core! I misread it! It is actually single core 1.5ghz with the exact same CPU model as our desire s! So it should run fine on ours !

Yeh, I would like to know what makes roms optimised and tweaked faster!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, as far as I know that's it and use UOT to pretty it up and theme so it has its own look and feel, but I'm just learning! so know nothing really of this side, so also want to gain some experience in it myself.

What we need is LBC (or another dev like him) with the same improved stock philosophy - which is what I like anyway. Someone that just improves and slickens the stock experience (with the same care and love that LBC puts in) but, possible changes the base to either Sense3.0 for saga now that that's out (even though it's leaked) or maybe even 3.5 but it's too early for that. But either way use Android 2.3.5.

Just the above normal tweaks, hacks and organisations that are always missing from stock, plus cut out all the un-needed crap applications and some of the useless HTC stock stuff that's just never used and eats CPU/memory and bandwidth!.

I'm still yet to try Runnymede, so can't really comment although when I have time I'll give it a go. Although as it's designed for a large screen will be fearful that it will look cut-down and re-sized.

But, Bliss is certainly cut down version (for girls! ;)) so I'm not interested and will avoid (unless I hear wonderful things).

Going to give this a go in next hour or so.. RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 (even though its only sense 3.0 and just watch what happens with the sense 3.5 ROMS.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

As far as what speeds up ROMS I added some TWEAKS threads along with a DEVELOPMENT GUIDE section to the Dev INDEX thread that I maintain the other day and would happily add more if anyone finds any suitable reference or resources.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ok :) As we are speaking now, im currently downloading the leaked 3.0 port ... do i need the new hboot to flash?

should itry this or the 3.0 dhd port?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Well I'm about to try the 3.0 dhd port as it sounds like the first proxuser sense3.0 leaked ROM just tweaked.

I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure if you need the new HBOOT? the method of getting new hboot also depends on if your S-OFF'd via XTC or AlpharevX, there are a couple of threads on this subject, so I'd suggest that you give them a read

I have it hboot. You could possibly ask in the ROM thread?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
try the dhd port proxuser says its faster & bug free for now(he said he will update the DS version with tweaks soon :))

i dont think you need new hboot
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks guys!

wow, just installed rcmix 1.1. its soo fast! im sticking with it now!

best rom! with sense 3.0 its fast!

its going to be my daily driver, i think!

i used tthe old hboot too
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Literally spolit for choice!

Well funnily enough that's also what I thought about [ROM] [18-09] VoidU S v1.1 (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0) then I experienced the GPS issues so I decided to give [ROM][19 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.3 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] a spin and that's also impressive, with the benefit of Sense 3.5 and has working GPS!. Although the sizing isn't fully consistent throughout all of menu's in all places....but, it really has great eye candy features and we must consider that it still a test-keys build so not the final product.

Until a LIVE release build is out I think that I'm hoping that the GPS issues are resolved in the VoidU and I'll use that as it's a little more polished.

@proxuser - thanks again!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh :) just waiting for proxuser!

On a side note, I fixed this syncing picture issue when I changed roms to voidu s from Leedroid
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Gald issue is resolved!

Glad to hear that your original problem is now resolved. :D

We did go offline quite some way ago in this thread (I'll take responsibility for that), but, I believe that it was a worthy ROM discussuon and it was good to get the opinions of other respected users on these things. :)

This was my post/opinion on Runnymede ROM that I gave a spin for a short while last night, which strangely had FB pictures issues (at least I thought that it did, in the end it just looks like Sense 3.5 FB integration is slightly different to Sense 2.1 and 3.0):
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh we did, but it was a worthy Rom dicussion! It helped me switch to sense 3.0, and loving it !

Thanks for your quick run down on sense 3.5!

So are there significant changes in sense 3.5? Are beats audio included?

Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I wouldn't say significant changes, but, there's a lot more animations and it's sleeker in places they've also streamlined certain areas combining menus and options to make it an easier experience (that's assuming that you've animations all turned on and up, which they are more levels than previously).

Don't really use my device as audio player except to stream Radio (Absolute - showing my age) so didn't really check out Beats Audio.

There were also several additional options within settings but, to be honest I didn't really have the time to investigate fully, as I returned back to Void for today (although have a backup to restore to).

Important thing was that sleeping battery consumption is about identical to Void, although still 1-2mA more than LBC at it's best. So I think that they need a little but more streamlining and some of the dafter HTC elements removed, but still young and Runnymede still test keys release.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the run down :) so atm, which Rom are you using ATM, as a daily driver? Switched back to lbc?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm currently still running VOIDU, although have a restore of RUNNYMEDE and LBC on the SD card so I can still switch if I change my mind.

Slightly concerned with lack of LBC contact, not even been a brief hello in the thread.

Really want to see what the future holds and which one gets fixes for it.

As the GPS/SD card issues on VOIDU appear odd in that they don't appear to effect everyone etc..unless it is HBOOT related?

What about you? have you given RUNNYMEDE a run out yet? it's worth it as its visually impressive.

Personally don't like BLISS.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Haven't tried the new sense roms 3.5 yet! I checked it out on YouTube, and I do like the extra animations on it! Don't have much time available to flash though :(

I think the sd card issues are random, but I'm pretty certain that no one has got GPS to work yet. They 'think' its working, because Google maps is picking up their location via WiFi ..

I have pm'ed the guys who mentioned they got it working. But they say they use Google maps..

Lbc is probably a busy fella, so we'll just wait till he returns :)

Since we are kind of of topic anyway, can I quickly ask about backups...

I used cwm to backup my Rom yesterday .. its saved into the sd card right?

So say, i change roms for a test then, want to change back to my old Rom with backup, how can I go about to do that?

Do I reflash the Rom, then boot into cwm and restore settings?

Or do I just factory wipe on the Rom I'm testing, then simply restore my backup?

And how will things be on it? Will it be EXACTLY the same how I left it, e.g - apps, settings configurations etc?

Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
restore is identical to backup in every way!

No problem,

For a start I'd suggest that you move to 4EXT, it's basically the same but better (if that makes any sense) none of that multiple clicking cr@p!

On my SD I have three Nandroid backups each from a different ROM. They go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

There is never any need to re-flash a ROM (unless the cook issues a new version).

When I wish to switch from one ROM to another, I ensure that I force a sync-All so that any local changes that are on the phone are replicated to the cloud. I do a market sync to ensuare that all applications are at latest versions by installig any outstanding updates. I then backup the text messages using the backup feature from Sense 3.0 SMS app functionality to the SD.

I then boot into recovery and take a full backup of the ROM that was using to the SD, usually after deleting the previous copy (so that I've only one of each).

I then simply use the 4EXT (CWM) nandroid restore for the ROM that I wish to switch to from it's last taken Nandroid backup. For safety's sake I always then wipe cache and dalvik cache before booting the restored ROM.

After booting I sync-all which brings all updates from cloud to the local phone and restore the text messages and also re-update market.

I've only been doing this for the last week since the proxuser port factory went into full overdrive. But so far have had no problems.

Is that clear?

I do also occasionally use titanium backup to backup all of the apps from each ROM, but I rename the titanium directory each time so that I have a separate titanium directory repository for each ROM as they're all on different Sense versions and I'm trying to avoid issues down the line.

Obviously need a large 32 Gb for this. You can always simply copy the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ directories alongwith wuth the multiple titanium backup directories (which consume a great deal of space) off onto your PC for safe keeping and if space is an issue

I also ensure that if any applications permit the saving of settings to SD I use that feature, ie setCPU, tasker, simple calendar widget etc....all write to SD card and their config files can be used by all the ROMs

Phew!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Cheers Ben for that great explanation!

So all you need to do is restore the backup! So you don't factory wipe? I never did that before! I'll be doing that next time then!

Hmm, what about if the chef releases a new version of the ROM? (E.g- say proxuser releases the new fixed voidu S ROM. )

Does that mean you cannot restore your backup, as that will be your old Rom..

So you'd have to set up everything from scratch?

Or you could just reflash the new updated Rom over the old one without loosing anything..

But I notcied in this rom, when you flash it, it automatically does a full wipe! Is there no way to stop it? Also when I first flashed it , it rebooted the phone on its own after it installed. Was it the same for you??
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yep that's what I've been doing. Although originaly for LBC releases I always ran his WIPE script, but for v0.5.4 to v0.6.0 I manually wiped SYSTEM and CACHE and then flashed the ROM, which left me with all my data and settings, I believe that this can cause issues - like FC's in which case wipe all and re-flash.

It depends on how significant the upgrade is, for patches like the GPS, you just flash over the top of existing, clear CACHE and DALVIK (as precaution and good practice). You could try the same for largewr ones you just risk incompatibility issues.

If this is the case there's not much that you can do...

Although 4EXT has advanced backup feature where by you can restore just a single partition, you could always try restoring DATA after flashing the new ROM - although never done this myself.

That's where titanium backup is useful for automating the re-installing of applications and I also find that sync'ing HTC sense sometimes means that on re-install and entry of Sense account during setup of new ROM it sets your notifications, ringtones, background and even some of your sense settings back (although that was on Sense 2 haven't yet tried it on 3.0 and 3.5 but imagine that should be being improved as is so useful!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thank you very much Ben! I really appreciate you giving me this lengthy information!

Originally I had 4Ext recovery when I first s-offed, but then i changed it to cwm via Rom manager .. is it only Rom manager that supports cwm?

are there any major differences between cwm vs 4ext?

So when you flashed void s, did it automatically do a reboot after flashing the Rom and wiping your data?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Truth is I can't remember what happened on void install was a while back.

I'd certainly suggest using 4ext on our devices, it performs the same functions but is far easier to use with no multiplet clicking, plus is updated fat more regularly and there is also great immediate support provided

4ext works fine I ROM manager, there is option called manual over ride in ROM manager which can help, it will still give you pop ups to say update Cwm just ignore them.

4ext had a market app and a free trial version for it's equivalent ROM manager style app program called 4ext control which is will worth the one pond something cost

#3 Candy Sorter -- We all have those pesky weirdo's who only like certain colors of cant and amount, well in this game you get 1-5 orders each level from pesky custormers and have a time based performance to sort through a pile of cant of all sorts shapes and colors and get there order filled with the time provided."

#4 -- Hardy Boys -- Knockoff clone. "Pretty self explanatory if you know who there are.. etc book serious would be picture based mystery game.
