Are you guys talking about first boot after flash, or any other boot? Because first is a lot slower as I clean cache and dalvik cache from updater script. Other boots take no more than 10 seconds in total so I hardly believe removing the boot animation will reduce that time...
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
The last time I checked both things were necessary... Will test later
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
this is only needed once. after you did that and market works after that you can change to what ever you want to and keep that.
[Desire HD Android Development] Sully6789:
I was referring to every boot, and that was including initial splash screen time. Its just a preference as I reboot my phone alot, so its just less time to wait in between.

EDIT: Just timed it with and without bootanimation. You're right alienmind, it doesn't really make a difference with blackice. There's only about a 2-3 sec difference. With MIUI and Sense roms, there's a huge difference though.
[Desire HD Android Development] tihomirone:
As I wrote before, I had a problems with the market (loosing connection). I think I found what's wrong. I stopped the auto data backup with the google servers in the sense rom I used. After that made a full wipe, installed BlackIce Rom and turned off the backup to be shure. And it works ! Now everything is ok.

I guess some settings from the Sense roms were trying to reload from the "cloud" backups and spoils the market settings. I guest guess, not shure is that the problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
Yeah, I had this minor issue too, which was totally resolved by just uninstalling and reinstalling Superuser.
[Desire HD Android Development] dexteristheshiz:
Just installed stable 1.00, why is there no background/theme?

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Also, PLEASE don't tell me this ROM is like Hydrogen where there is no line-break button on keyboards...

For radio ending 13.04.19_M, which RIL should I flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
I have a default theme and a background...

The included keyboard is the default Android keyboard (modded to gray). If you need an extended one, you have two options in ICEMarket. I use Swype for my day to day and is perfect.

This ROM includes all compatible 4 G-RILs inside ICETool App. Just use it to switch between them. However, default RIL should be fine. There is no specific recommendation, you have to experiment and I suggest you that do not switch them unless you have a problem to solve.
[Desire HD Android Development] killersloth:
For real guys... excuse my french but this ROM is fking amazingly smooth... wow.
[Desire HD Android Development] tdanicek:
Thank for awesome rom !
[Desire HD Android Development] tdanicek:
WOW, great! Success.

Do any of you guys know if lordmod 8.2 bfs is too old of a kernel to use with this rom? It was the last bfs kernel I had that works with my inspire. 8.6 bfs breaks the mic....
[Desire HD Android Development] Colpophage:
8.7 beta fixes mic problems, and is included in the ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
That's cfs. I want bfs. Thanks though.

Can confirm ice tool is working with this 8.9 beta kernel from lord. No problems with anything either.
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
Can you try to click on check version option from icetool?

[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I tried it and it reports both the current and latest versions as 1.01. Yesterday, before your fix to the server, it reported that the latest version was something like 0.90.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Confirmed as well.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Here's that kernel if you want to have it...

LordMod 8.9b2 BFS
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I'm trying it out now. Perhaps I will build a BlackICE nighly that uses it, schedule permitting of course.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I just barely had time to upload a new nightly, see Post #1.

The main difference is that it uses this kernel: lordmodUEv8.9-BFS-b2-gpu

There are some CM7 changes, but the automated tool for getting that info is offline so the change log might not be 100% correct.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
Thanks, Chez. I'll check out the changelog later.

Anyway, since most of us here uses BLACKICE and LC's ICS, I'm just wondering, which do you use as Primary ROM in Bootmanager? And is there any special way to install ICS ROM if it's placed in the 2nd ROM?

Also, what about ROM updates? Do we just install over?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] michelD:
Hi to all,

Back again from IceCold Sandwich (1.4 test 2) that is very nice indeed, but I mis the extreemely low battery drain of BlackIce. Even after trying all the tricks to reduce power comsumption in ICS, I never reached the amazing low power drain of BlackIce.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
I accidentally pressed thanks on this. Haha!

This, I have to agree!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I mostly use BlackICE, but when I switch to ICS I just use 4EXT. the first time trying a new ROM is always a pain because of full wipe. But the next times you can save the current one, restore the backup for the other ROM and the flash the update for that ROM. It's all automated.

EDIT: Now that I'm at my PC it's easier to explain better. Suppose I'm using BlackICE and I've already tried ICS 1.3.0 and I made a backup of it. Now I want to test ICS 1.4.0. It's really easy with 4EXT:

Go to 4EXT --> recovery --> Manage your backups

Choose the ICS backup that you want to restore (ICS 1.3.0)

4EXT will offer several options, select following "Backup before restore" and "Select files to flash afterwards" and "Restore everything from this backup".

4EXT will ask for the name of the new backup (this will be for your current BlackICE ROM) and then it will ask you to select the file(s) to flash after it does the backup and the restore. You want to flash ICS 1.4.0 in this example.

Once you tell 4EXT to "go" it will do the following: backup your current BlackICE, restore ICS 1.3.0, upgrade to ICS 1.4.0

Hopefully that all makes sense.

Do you mean Nandroid?

Edit: Found what you meant. Thanks, Chez!
[Desire HD Android Development] smanthrav:
Will I have to flash the tinny audio fix for the Inspire? Or is it unnecessary? I searched the thread but it threw nothing :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
I don't think you'd need that tinny inspire flash. But I'm not too sure, I'm on DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
I always flash inspire mod which has that in it.
[Desire HD Android Development] sonnyboipunx:
Using this kernel and experiencing signal loss when phone is on sleep.. can someone confirm.. or is it just me:-)
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
I'm using it with no problems on inspire
[Desire HD Android Development] HamsterHam:
When I flash an update do I reflash the extra apps as well?

Also how do I remove one of the camera apps? I have miui and cm apps.
[Desire HD Android Development] alchopop:
Always flash extra apps, might be new update on there.

Download system app remover and delete camera app with that. Be careful with that program though, you could break your installation of blackice and have to reinstall

Have fun
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
You could also use titanium backup, or simply navigate to /system/app and delete the apk

But like alchopop said be careful about what you muck around with, have backups handy!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Just for the record the extraapps is an option, in fact I don't think I have ever flashed it, LOL. But if you do use it then it would be a good idea to reflash the new version whenever you update BlackICE.
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
same here, i have never used any of the apps so i don't bother flashing it.

but there are people who do, so i think it's great to have the option and to not burden the rom with more and more apps
[Desire HD Android Development] KM.7StyleR:
Hello i have a problem: after flashing rom i get log error and system is very slow :/ I do wipe ofc. Do you know why is it so ?

btw. I use v1.27 official version.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Id do a complete wipe using superwipe and reflash.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Just uploaded a new nightly, see Post 1.

It has a few minor CM7 changes. I'm not sure if the changes.txt file properly reflects the changes because I had to manually figure out which ones apply to ACE since the automated tool for that has been down for the last week.
[Desire HD Android Development] zahir.dk:
What have you guys done to the battery life!!! This is insane... :eek: I never even imagined in the wildest dream that battery on Desire HD could last this LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.....

[Desire HD Android Development] gvsukids:
Or purchase boot manager and switch much easier and quicker.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Perhaps if there was a way to buy that app in Taiwan I would...

EDIT: Actually I emailed the developer to find out if there is a way I can buy it in Taiwan. For the record Google doesn't allow Taiwan accounts to have access to paid apps because they are pissed off about Taiwan's refund policy. Usually Market Enabler works, but not always...
[Desire HD Android Development] dron39:
https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmRyeDIuYm9vdG1hbmFnZXIiXQ..

This one?
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
I used to use this but not anymore. Thanks to Chez. I think that method he shared is more stable and faster because the ROM is not running from the SD Card.

Y'all should consider.

Just my 2 cents. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gvsukids:
I only have 4 options in "manage backups" and not the extra options.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Are you talking about the menu that says: Restore, Rename, Delete, Check... ?

After you choose Restore then you will see another bigger menu with a lot more options.
[Desire HD Android Development] SAPPH1RE:
I use 4ext touch recovery, and I don't see any manage backup option..
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
From the app choose Recovery then you will see "Manage your backups"... at least on the paid version
[Desire HD Android Development] alchopop:
Has everyone left the building? Shall I switch the light off?

Seriously though, has everyone moved onto ICS already or is this Rom now considered finished. I have to say its the best I've ever used and been on my phone consistently the longest. Well done guys.
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
I would say that it is pretty stable now, so no need for a new release unless there's something important to add.

As you say, most of us are moving to ICS

Chez will tell us, he's the dungeon keeper now ;-) But IMHO ICS is the way forward.

Anyway, It still feels like home in my BlackICE nandroid backup, and I intend to keep it for a long, long time.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
The dungeon keeper, eh? that would be a good xda nickname. Anyway, it's true, I don't see much else happening to BlackICE. Assuming I can fix my cm7 builds, which broke last night, there will probably still be some nighties with the latest cm7 changes. I'll add something relevant to post 1 when I'm home...
[Desire HD Android Development] Nark.GA60:
As much as I'm amazed at its speed every time I flash back to BlackICE, ICS is definitely the way forward.

Let's hope we get some BlackIceCream in the future.
[Desire HD Android Development] alchopop:
The only thing keeping me from ICS is camera and Netflix otherwise this is the Rom for me
[Desire HD Android Development] MacSeoin:
I love this ROM couldn't ask for more from you guys!

ICS is good but I'll hold on for you guys to tweak it before moving on!

There's just something about your roms that I just don't feel in any others
[Desire HD Android Development] K Dotty:
I flash this rom on all my friends DHD's/Inspire's when I root them. I loved this rom and before this I was using Hydrogenmod. So over the last year I've been using this. Chez, alienmind, TUN (Theming machine), you've all done an amazing job and I know once you start on 'BlackIcy S ;)" it will be just amazing. You guys mad an amazing rom and supported everyone who uses it.

[Desire HD Android Development] simmarjit:
Just a question, how do I get the oxygen rom like circular battery out and replace it with something else?
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
Ok, download the rom, extrackt it to folder blackice...., then go to system/framework open framework, navigate to Res/hdpi. There you find PNG files named "start_sys_battery...", replace these files. But remember, they must be 38×38 pix, correct named, and the correct number of files. There are sets with 20/20, 100/20, 100/100 and others.(normal and charge icons)

When replaced, zip all the files again, you should have now a zip named like the base. Then flash after backup.

You can also search about that.

Everybody talking about going to ics. I agree it's fun to play with but Black Ice is Old faithful when it comes to reliability, usability, etc. a true daily driver in every sense of the word and an outstanding piece of work. I'm excited about ics for sure, but I love me some black ice and I think it will be a while before ics takes over as my "stock" ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
I agree, and my BlackICE nandroid will be there for those needy moments ;-)

Flased BlackICE on Bootmanager ROM Slot and audio seems to be broken (as phone rom works fine), flashing TalonACE Kernel for MIUI fix the audio...

[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I fixed my problem with CM7 builds so I am happy to announce that there is a new nightly on Post 1 :)

The only changes are a few CM7 updates, that may or may not be interesting to you.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
This has been a terrific rom, so stable, kinda sad to see development stop, but can't wait to try out your first ics build. :)

I hope you kinda theme ics to be black and white instead of back and blue, it gets to be too much blue. Just saying lol
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
It IS a terrific rom ;) as far as development goes, I would try to implement requests that help a lot of people
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I do like that idea. The simpler the better for me, although I have to admit that I just flashed the Lord of the Rings splash screen and boot animation to see what they are like and they are really cool.... but a lot of blue LOL.

Anyway, the simple blackness of BlackICE is what attracted me to it in the first place and, as I've mentioned before, my wallpaper is... 100% black.

EDIT: Also, at least for a while, BlackICE nightlies will still occur. Maybe not every night, but whenever I notice any new CM7 changes that apply to Desire HD.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
Thanks Chez, for trying to keep this ROM alive. It's still my daily driver although I do tryout ICS once in a while.

Do keep us subscribers informed should works of BLACKICS be coming around.

[Desire HD Android Development] passtheknowledge:
Roboto font would be nice with this rom I guess I'm asking for a request if possible :)
[Desire HD Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I hate the roboto font. You can get font changers and font packs from the market.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Uploaded another nightly because there were a couple of small CM7 changes... and I had time. See post 1.

Of course with Lord's 2.0 ICS, I imagine that's what everyone will be testing for a while :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dubbee:
It's cosmetic, but my wifi and mobile network icons in the status bar have turned blue. Battery just changed too, it was the grey circle but it changed into a blue battery.

I just realized I should be clear, this is on the new nightly you just uploaded.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
That doesn't happen for me. Are you flashing between BlackICE and ICS without doing a full wipe first? ICS has blue icons...

EDIT: I just did a full wipe / factory reset and then reinstalled nightly v1.28b8-20120214_085701 and I did not have the issue you mentioned.

Market issues

Hi

i had problem intalling some apps from the market - says "can not find app" in the search results [ for example: Waze or Facebook...]

i tried ICETOOLS and changes to diffrent versions of the market - same issue each time with different apps

Any idea ?

edit: just saw above that DPI is an issue

i did change to 240DPI - maybe this is the issue ?

thanks for any advice
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
The solution involves 2 parts; changing the dpi to 240 and also clearing the Market data.

Changing the dpi using ICETool automatically clears the Market data for you.
[Desire HD Android Development] mhoa:
I have the same problem

When reboot icon in status bar is same right but when I open mobile or wifi or charge icon in status bar change to blue . And when I turn off wifi or mobile icon in status come back . SS

Before flash any rom I'm only full wipe

Sorry I'm not good in english
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
On ICS and also on CM7 stock icons, I think, this shows you are connected to Google.

So colored icon, connected to google, grey not connected.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dubbee:
Oh OK I thought I could flash b8 nightly over b6 (skipped b7) without wiping...

I don't have this behavior on b6.

You don't need to wipe when changing between different version of the same ROM. I was just wondering if you were changing between different ROM, like ICS and BlackICE. It sounds like you were not.

I don't know why the blue icons suddenly appeared, we didn't change any of those recently. Maybe your connection to Google is working better on b8???

Hi alienmind yeah that's it,I applied an ics theme but the battery remained,but kept on reverting so I changed it again to one of the other battery mods just percentage etc its fine now..for future reference is there anyway to break the breaking...nice rom by the way,battery's amazing I lost 5 percent since installing,with that 5% I've set Google up,checked xda,Facebook and restored apps through titanium.

Since BlackICE starts with a CM7 Kang, that seems reasonable, but you will lose some of the BackICE-ness.

Hello. Thanks for a cracking ROM. Battery life is insane:D (smartass V2)

Was on CM 7.0 and been using Black-Ice 1.26 for a month. Installed after using a Full-Wipe as recommended.:)

Question:

I know 1.27 is out but i had a specific question regarding the Audio settings if anyone would kindly help (searched google and this forum):

The Black Ice Tool is perfect for those fiddly script tweaks etc like the audio settings for HTC Desire HD, but the dolby settings when selected keep having to be reset everytime a different app launches audio:

E.G -

Start phone - Open Black Ice - Select Dolby_A_hp - listen to audio on Youtube app - Switch to Winamp = now no sound at all. And vice-versa etc...

So i have to go to BlackIceTool; Click original then click my dolby_A setting again. Simply clicking Dolby_A_hp doesn't work, I often have to click "Original" then Dolby_A_hp.

Many times it even happens in the middle of just switching tracks on the music player, or when switching videos in youtube. So you have to keep going back to reset the Dolby settings every time you listen to something new!:(

When i use the "original" setting, the audio doesn't stop working, it only seems to affect any other setting.

I am using headphones and have tried others - Still the same problem.:confused:

Is it worth mentioning I had this problem when I tried CM 7.1 RC a few months (Was switching Audio Scripts using GScript)?

-

Whilst I'm here any tweaks for less stuttering flash video (TV Catchup, BBC iplayer)? Maybe a change of governer?

[Desire HD Android Development] passtheknowledge:

[Desire HD Android Development] bugfix2k:
I installed 1.28b9 yesterday without full wipe. Had 1.27b1 before that.

ROM was blazing fast, but I had some weird problems with games, and especially Kingdoms Live. I tried taking a screenshot of the problem, but it didn't show so I'll try and explain it in words...

The game is basically a browser that wraps the Storm8 (creators) URLs into a nice GUI. On v1.27b1 everything works fine, but on 1.28b9 I have weird tearing issues. It's like the screen doesn't completely update and the first screen presented kinda overlays the second one when I scroll. If I switch page (in the game) completely everything updates and looks fine, but as soon as I start scrolling it looks all messy again.

So, basically... has anyone else experienced tearing when scrolling in 1.28b9?? Like the screen doesn't update properly.
