@ adlx.xda

I thought my problems with the two builds may have to do with the radio.

So I've now updated to HBOOT 1.07 Update from OTA 1.52.401.1 and

ChaCha_Radio_47.23.35.3033H_7.51.39.19

But unfortunately it did not help. I have spent now 5 hours with both builds.

I could despair, why does the phone app not only with me properly? in both

builds the phone app freezes again and again.

What I have noticed is I have no haptick feedback in the energy control in

the statusbar even though it is enabled. (both builds!)

In addition superosr build does not work the sound / silent control

@ xdbg

is this the end of the original cm7 build???
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Xdbg , you stopped work on this now?

Shame- thanks for your efforts tho.. much appreciated
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
@ adlx.xda

small mutivation :cool:
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
I wouldn't say so, although the possibility remains.

You said you switched the radios, but to no avail. Can you try switching the libril.so as well? You can find the libril in the stock ROM, it's merely a matter of adb pull'ing them out.
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
I've just updated HBOOT and RADIO to the latest version.

I've changed nothing in the two builds.

sorry, but I unfortunately do not understand your instructions :(

I like the original CM7 build very much and would be happy if you

continue to stay tuned;)
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Sure. By the way, I tested a new build and the battery drained from 100% in like three hours -- it's like the phone never went to sleep. Did you have this also too in the past?

Also, GPS works but getting a fix takes obviously too long - more than one minute.
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
No...i had no problems with battery drain.

But has anyone here problems with freezing the phone.apk too???

I do not understand why it does not work for me? :(
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Well, please run "adb logcat >out.txt" and send me out.txt. (you need HTC Sync and the platform-tools installed by the SDK). You need to start the logcat before the problem occurs.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Can you please perform a quick test?

Place the phone on your table, initiate an outgoing call to any number; you can try a service number, some sort of *222 or something like that (it's been a year since I was in Germany so I forgot) and after the call is initiated and the lady on the other side of the line is talking, press the end call key. What happens? The app is still freezing?
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
yes, I've tested. I phoned yesterday with my girlfriend and when I hung up

the phone.apk freezes :(

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

I can now imagine what to do, but what about htc sync and sdk?

i do not know what it is and how I install it! sorry :eek:

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

I must remark that the phone.apk is not always freezing!!

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

i have now download ANDROID SKD on my computer!

can you please tell me what I still need to install everything and how the

program works? thanks :)
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
have now installed SDK plattform tools, usb driver and htc sync on windows pc.

restore cm7 build, but htc sync don't connect with the phone :confused:

please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Splendid. Now lunch the SDK manager and install the platform tools (the other packages are not required). Install as well http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/HTC-Sync.shtml

Then run make sure that on your phone in Settings=>Applications=>Development, USB Debugging is enabled. Finally you can start a cmd.exe and run adb from c:\program files\android\somewhere?\platform-tools.
[HTC ChaCha] kngharv:
Dear all:

How to install this thing again? I went into Clockmod Recovery mode and choose the zip file to install...

but it stuck at the white "HTC" screen...
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
here are two files out.text

I hope I've done everything right :rolleyes:
[HTC ChaCha] Cadabena:
Don't forget to do a full wipe first.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
hum... both logs show a crash of /system/bin/rild at pc afd18f48. I wish I knew how to debug this :/.

Which build was it? (latest SuperOSR or CM posted here?)
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
this was from cm7 build, but i think there are the same problem with superosr. I have massive problems with network control. For example with switching from 2g to 3g and when i turn wifi on sometimes the mobile data symbol are still in the status bar.
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
wifi works fine and gps fix fast :)

now i test navigation with skobbler app
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
navigation works fine ;)
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
noticed bugs:

- network operator can not be selected

- problems with the power widgets in the statusbar > no haptic feedback

- if wireless will be activate sometimes the sign for the mobile data connection in the status bar is still to be seen (screenshot!)

- problems with the switch between 2g and 3g > workaround > you must first disconnect the mobile data connection
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Uploading a new build to my Mediafire folder: http://www.mediafire.com/?zusc76hfagvzd

Build name: SuperOSR-chacha-2.2-20111114-0105.zip

Includes: german & chinese locales (not Openwwn though).

Btw, never noticed, but Radio FM is working great!

Oh and this one is*built on Arch Linux, not that it matter anyway lol
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
does it change to landscape mode?, i tried it but it wont shift to landscape
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
It is correctly showing in landscape mode yes.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Cheers! Any other release notes apart from the two languages integration?
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
There is a possibility the Camera problem lies not within userland, but within the kernel (both adlx.xda and myself are using the CM7 msm7227 kernel sources with modifications from the HTC kernel). adlx.xda, could you try compiling the stock HTC kernel sources and try the Camera with it?
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
@xdbg

Do you have a "donate" link? I think you and adlx deserves recognition in more ways than only "thanks".

@Alex C.

just an idea, but can you add the donate links from both xdbg and adlx (and yourself, why not?) on the first post? maybe this way more people can see and give a little "extra motivation" to the developers.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
I don't accept donations. What I'm looking for is help from experienced users and developers alike.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Good idea. If xdbg and adlx will send me their donation links (xdbg already said he doesn't accept donations).
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
Just one small thing i've found in the superosr build is that the proximity sensor doesn't work during a call. Is there any way to fix that?

Apart from that it works great! So much better without sense haha :D
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
adlx.xda: the camera issue is not caused by the kernel.

Instead, try adding in CameraHardwareInterface.h

virtual void setFaceDetectionState(int state) = 0;

Just after getParameters() but before sendCommand.

EDIT: this doesn't fully solve the problem - but at least the call to release() succeeds.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cf03843/n/update-cm-7.1.0-ChaCha-KANG-signed.zip

This build has a newer bcm4329_248 Wi-Fi driver, as well as the small Camera fix mentioned earlier. This allows switching between front and back camera.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Awesome work, once again!

adlx and xdbg, you bring happiness into our devices. I thank you for all the hard work you are putting up.

I will test this build starting today, as I've been running adlx's latest build since it was released; just to show other users that I am willingly putting my phone to constant testing, even if this is my primary phone that I also use for work (emails, contacts, etc.).

Also, I would like to apologize for the lack of updating this thread with more info/known issues/fixes and so on but I have been really really busy in the past couple of days. I promise I will update it as soon as I can find a couple of hours to spare.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
No problem. BTW, I forgot to include gps.conf which means the XTRA file is not downloaded, hence the GPS fix takes a while. Also, I included the sensors.chacha.so from adlx.xda's ROM which greatly improves GPS sensitivity.

Regarding the Camera issue, the following traces (from stock) do not appear in the CM7 build:

D/mm-camera-config( 74): get get_vfe_ack_ready = 1
D/mm-camera 7x-vfe( 74): Received VFE Stop ACK!!! ctrlCmd->type 38
D/mm-camera 7x-vfe( 74): VFE_STOP_ACK CAMERA_STATE_PREVIEW_VFE_STOPPED
I/QualcommCameraHardware( 74): deinitPreview E
I/mm-camera( 74): Exiting camframe thread

The thread never exits, leading to the libcamera.so waiting forever.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Has anyone tested if the proximity sensors works in a call in Xdbg latest build? Does it work fine? (blacken the screen when you put the phone near your ear).

Thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Just tested, it works fine. The dialer keyboard is bugged again (old issue with wrong numbers and Fn+key must be used).
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Cool. adlx.xda: did you fix the dialer by modifying the kcm or by hacking the Dialer widget (like HTC did)?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I modified the Number column in the Kcm file.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Cool. Regarding the Camera issue, I have to say I'm giving up on this for the time being. My best guess is that the HTCCamera.apk talks to the libcamera through libcameraservice in a slightly different way than CM7's Camera.apk. This leads to the VFE DSP task being not properly setup. This on top of other API incompatibilities (like the touchscreen compat error, or the incompatible Bluetooth stack) shows once again that HTC has no regard for keeping in sync with the AOSP or giving back their work to the community. (and, locked bootloaders. ugh)

My recommendation to XDA users: do not buy their phones.
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
fantastic Bro

awesome work bro ... nothing to say ..
[HTC ChaCha] elmanortega:
awesome don't stop man great work
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I can't wait to get home to give this a go I was meant to be done over a week ago.

Good work !

I'm looking at using one of these roms from tomorrow.
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
Camera?

is that camera fixed or not .. mine not working .. cannot connect device error
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
no, cam isn't fixed.
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
It's sad that you're giving up on HTC ChaCha, but I understand your reasons. I hope you have better luck on your next ventures... and if someday you want to come back to ChaCha, we're going to be here :)

Thanks for the supreme work you have done so far.

Really, thank you.
[HTC ChaCha] semanty:
The front camera opened at using the back one will lead to chacha freeze and will let the camera not able to be connected except by reboot

[HTC ChaCha] semanty:
One more thing, cm7 seems not support xda premium but only free version. Due to 2.3.7?

Sent from my HTC A810e
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Are you sure? I've just installed Premium v1.1.2 just to test this and it works. Installed and running..

Please check your .apk file and your settings. By default CM doesn't allow install from other sources. When trying to install, make sure Unknown Sources is enabled (if you are using a .apk file; Settings -> Applications -> first one on the list).

Please perform another check and provide adb logcat .txt debug files

To retrieve the debug files or to install ADB, please check previous pages of this thread. Also perform a check using a older version of the said application.
[HTC ChaCha] semanty:
In my memory, the other source was certainly clicked because i could install the free version very well. I failed to install the premium for 3 times.

The stock rom i am now using can support premium one with the same .apk file. Maybe i will learn the debugging later. Tks

[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I've been using cm7 for 2 days now.

Its great!

The first page of this thread shows that the camera is fixed, but it isn't. I can live without the camera.

No real problems , thanks for sorting this- shame your stopping dev on it.

Much appreciated!
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I think it's a mistake. Though xdbg made progress in his latest release, AFAIK the camera isn't working yet.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Apparently I overlooked the camera part from the know issues lists.. Updated.
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
so camera works now ?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
No. (10 characters)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Im down to 11% battery from 100% at 0700

In fact as I write this its dropping!

9% now.

I'm going to have to revert (when I get charge back in phone!)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
What rom?

People who tested SuperOSR latest builds, any baterry drain or issue with the battery status ?

Btw, I believe I may have found the issue with proximity sensor not working during calls... Will test tonight if I have time.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Cm 7. 1. 0 cha cha - kang

Build gwk74
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
I'm also experiencing battery drain with my latest build. I think it may be linked to the kernel.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I'm asking because I'm not having any drain, at all! My Chacha has been up for more than an hour now, still at 100%... that's too weird to be true. THere must be something wonrg, but I have no idea what yet.

On other hand, confirmed I have fixed the proximity issue during calls ;).
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Latest build: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mjmt1c6qmys7ucx/SuperOSR-chacha-2.2-20111122-0111.zip

Fixes the proximity sensor during calls
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I've been on the rom on post above, super osr since last night.

Numbers work on pin and dialer fine!
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
yesterday i have tested the new version of SuperOSR.

no freezes the phone.apk anymore, but now I've got a force close.

Although I can still make the call but the phone.apk is gone :(

no idea what's going on with the handy...
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
i dont get any FC , execpt when syncing in Facebook
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Check the options inside SuperOSR. There are the SUSetup settings there including "Fix FC's". Run both those options and post results.

Also, in CWM, hit Advanced and then "Fix Permissions".
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Could you please post a full logcat (from boot of the phone, until right after the FC?) on pastebin.com . thanks a lot.

What do you mean by the Phone.apk is gone?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Same here, please post logcat on pastebin.com ;)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
This question is probably dumb!

On the standard rom is the hardware keyboard giving alternate words when using?

with this osr, When I just type I don't get them but if I click in the input box an on screen keyboard comes up (obscuring the screen) with word options- I can't turn this in screen keyboard off without getting a fc.
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
logcat on pastebin.com ? how
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

then browse to pastebin.com and paste the content of logcat.txt, post the link here ;).
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Damn, didn't tried that! That could be a bug introduced by the fix for the proximity during calls issue.

Was that happening with previous version of the rom?

Does that happen in xdbg's CM7.1?
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
yea its there on old one ... now if i disable android keyboard the whole keyboard not working ..
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I've tested the previous build and it's not happening: I mean, virtual keyboard doesn't show.

Can someone using xdbg's CM test on his build and report if Virtual kbd show up upon selecting a text field? Thx
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
Hey ive been testing the new superosr since yesterday. The proximity sensor is great. Even better than on the stock rom.

Ive noticed the keyboard pops up now when selecting a field, I checked the cm rom and didnt notice it happening nor on your last build so i dont know whats going on there. If i unselect android keyboard in settings it gives a fc.

Mobile idle seems a little high in the battery stats but nothing too out of the ordinary i dont know if that has something to do with the radio perhaps :confused:

The overall stability of the phone has increased a lot and it runs as fast as ever too.

Any news on the camera issue since xdbg stopped work on it?

Thanks again for your great work!
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
Is there any way to reduce the dailer buttons while calling ..or move to some side, etc
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Sure, we need to fix the layout of the activity... any themer out there?
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Camera working fine on this build (latest osr) for me.

The on screen keyboard doesn't pop up if you don't click on the input field.

Smilies aren't defualt - I'll change them back with uot I think :-)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Also, battery drain doesn't seem as noticable as it was in the cm7 rom- I lasted beyond lunchtime and made several calls.

Too early to say if battery use is better or worse than standard rom for me.

What radio would be optimal for this osr rom do you think? My radio is same one I got when I bought phone (7.47.35.17)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I don't know what battery would be optimal. Yet I can say that all the propietary failes I'm using in the rom as well as my radio version are the Spanish stock one (not updated to OTA (I don't want to risk to loose my S-Off with an OTA)).

I posted my radio version earlier in this thread, IIRC it's the same as you.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Hi adlx.xda,

Good news, you can't lose S-OFF with an OTA as long as you've S-OFF'd with an XTC Clip. Basically the security flag in the baseband data partition is not touched by any OTA.

However be careful if you've S-OFF with Revolutionary or AlphaRevx, because it's actually a "fake" S-OFF -- basically it is a modified HBOOT that will be modified by an OTA containing an updated HBOOT image: the flag in the baseband is not touched, and your phone is actually S-ON even though the modified HBOOT prints "S-OFF" on the screen.

Scott Walker (scotty2), when writing the payload for his gfree exploit (an eMMC vulnerability exploited through GPIO88 which resets the eMMC), actually reverse-engineered the location of the security flag in the baseband data partition in order to turn it off. A rather impressing feat in fact. Qualcomm patched this vulnerability by blocking access to GPIO88 from the radio.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Cool. I'll go back to adlx.xda's kernel in later CM7 releases because it's obviously better wrt/ battery use.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Could it be due to your recent wifi bcm4329 kernel modifications?
[HTC ChaCha] hacmieu:
I love CM7 rom :))
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
Indeed, this is quite impressive. Unfortunately HTC ChaCha doesn't have a eMMC chip, right? That's why we can't use this exploit either.
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
It uses a radio NAND instead of an eMMC chip -- xdbg said that in a thread I posted a couple weeks ago asking about the same subject :P
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
I opened the camera app to see if it was working but it definitely isnt working on my device.

Also i have a feeling that it may having something to do with the battery loss i reported earlier. I opened up spareparts after i noticed the battery draining quickly and it has under sensor usage camera at 90% so i dont know what happened there.

Under the regular battery stats in the about menu it only lists display as using the most but it has drained over 75% in 2 hours in my pocked with the screen off so i would say that it is an error in its reporting there.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Yes, quite certainly. So far the bcm4329_204 sources from HTC's ChaCha are the most stable, apart from the bugs mentioned in the first post.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Osr - opening keboard in the settings menu is giving a fc everytime.

Having read on here about the icon that apppears top right when using keyboard in stock- its def not there in this rom.

Id love to get the same keyboard functionality/prediction back.

I'm still going to use this rom tho as otherwise seems pretty spot on- battery at least as good as stock for me.

Overall I love it! Fast, usable- and has the power notifiaction bar.

Good work! Thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
map of SuperOSR on Chacha

Yay, there are HTC Chacha running (or that have run) SuperOSR around the world. You can see the stats (only will appear the one that have opted in to participated in RomStats. Btw you should opt-in, it's totaly anonimous, and it's great feedback for devs).

Here you have: RomStats for SuperOSR on Chacha.

Btw, RomStats is available to all rom developers, just ask me if you are interested ;).
[HTC ChaCha] hacmieu:
CM7 Rom have error when take picture by camera. Then camera hang and battery draining very very quickly .
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Thanks, it's good to know the battery drain comes (at least) from using the Camera. Can you try to use the ROM for a while, like a couple days, and tell us your experience wrt/ wifi and general user experience?
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
i am using it for past 3 days ..

1. buttons in call screen over laps caller id and photo

2. browser got heavy lag

3.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
workaround: use keyboard if needed ;)
[HTC ChaCha] sathara:
not that ... calling screen
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
Think I might have found a workaround for the superosr camera. If you go to the market and download an app called camera illusion it works fine (no flash as far as i can tell though).

I'm not sure if you could see how it works or just replace the default camera app completely but it seems to run great.

After a few more days usage i have found (apart from minor theme issues like the dialer which works fine for me anyway) that the only problems left seem to be the marginally worse wifi reception which doesn't affect me too badly anyway and the on screen keyboard when clicking on a text field.

Overall its a great build which i use as my daily one now ;)

Edit: Sorry the flash does work too
[HTC ChaCha] abraham89:
smart find ;)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
That's just awesome man! Nice find!

Btw, I've fixed, again, the proximity issue, without having the soft keyboard showing on screen now :)

I've built the rom with the fix that night, and uploaded it to mediafire, in the same folder. Don't have the link right now, but I believe I posted it in here earlier. I haven't had time to test it myself.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
You're awesome, thanks a lot for the Camera trick :)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
My camera works fine - is there a front camera on chacha I can't remember!

Will the latest build stop keyboard popping up and give full predict options?

I'm also using it every day and its great!!

If I flash the update is it full wipe etc or can I retain settings?

Thanks for this its great!
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
quick update, here is the latest build: http://www.mediafire.com/?9femtrg2cb7ktd5

It's better to wipe.
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
Ive found that when you purchase the full version of camera illusion and select the hd mode it has the same problem as the native camera app.

Without HD on though it works fine so I'm looking for some other alternatives now
[HTC ChaCha] abraham89:
try vignette..

I am on stock ROM s cant try.. Give it a shot.. It should work if Camera Illusion does..
[HTC ChaCha] themickman007:
yeah I already gave it a go but it doesnt work. I think what camera illusion does is save a picture of the preview but when it comes to saving the actual picture from the camera is when it stuff up.

I did a logcat on the phone while taking a picture and it had something to do with waiting on a frame.

thats the last line before it freezes. Is it possible that its the driver being incompatible? Maybe an older one would work?

Edit: If it helps at all I think the next line is meant to be something like this
