[HTC Desire S] ltodorov:
I have the same problem. Tried Windows 8.1 and 10 with installed HTC, Universal or/and Samsung drivers. ADB works fine but in bootloader the device is not recognized by systems.

Finally I found a working solution. For Windows 8.1 this should work http://xdaforums.com/htc-desire-s/general/windows-8-1-fastboot-fix-t2965399 Thanks to VnnAmed!
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
Yes that only works for 8.1

So I just installed Ubuntu 15.10 and worked on that
[HTC Desire S] ltodorov:
I thought to install Linux too :)

Once you get it going its easy to use PS just a tip if you install Linux or in this case Ubuntu if you have 4gb ram

make a swapfile of 512mb and for 8gb you really need 1024mb swap file

So I started this thread to know what all of you are using. I, myself am using:

Sonygenmod Ult. 3.0

Default kernel

Go launcher ex

Old Baseband

No tweaks

What kernels have worked best for your Sonygenmod roms...

Are you using the default Sony Ericsson launcher or something else, I love the sony launcher but its not ad customizable ad the others not to mention I get a FC everytime I slide to the last screen.

Does using scripts/tweaks make our devices run better or is that user opinion...tweaks like kickasskernel/loopy/supercharger....

I also love the default system font of sonygenmod 3.0, but im not sure what it is

If your not using default launchers, what do you use as alternatives...ive used everything from launcher pro to adw launcher ex...

ooh and out of curiousity, where would you like to imagine our device being in the next 6 months..

What would be beneficial for cyanogenmod to port honeycomb or ice cream sandwhich...

Hi,

is it possible to deactivate the phone function of my ViewPad7?

I have a multisim in my tablet and when somebody calls me, the tablet and my iphone rings...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LOLLKILLER:
Just plug out your sim!!! ;)

or try fly mode

i bought my thrill used and i was told that it should have these free games,NOVA, Golf, Asphalt 6 but they are not there,any place i can download them since they were free?
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
it sounds like the person you purchased the phone from deleted/removed them from the SD card.
[LG Thrill 4G] hightechlive:
that is what i was thinking,does someone have them and could email them to me or is there a website to go and download them?
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
You should get them back by flashing Thriller, or the stock ROM. If someone can say where the apks are on the phone I could upload them.

[LG Thrill 4G] hightechlive:
they should be on your sd card
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
/system/app/
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
Here is two of the three

It won't allow me to upload the third one, file size limit is 8MB, the last game is 15MB.

PM me your email address and I will send it to you.
[LG Thrill 4G] hightechlive:
it tells me i can not install them.
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
If you put them in the folder I pulled them from (/system/app) and reboot do they show up?

I use super manager to write to the system partition, requires root, but its free in the market.

[LG Thrill 4G] hightechlive:
no thanks though i guess i give up.
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
I wasn't that impressed with them.

If you want them, and you aren't on Thriller already, you should give it a try. You would get the games back, and you would see some nice performance improvements.
[LG Thrill 4G] hightechlive:
yea i can seem to get clock work on my thrill to put a custom rom on it.

The adb is a bugger. It took me several tries, and I ended up using super manager to do some of it.

Has anyone been able to see flash video's from within the Pulse newsreader in any of the HC roms? I noticed that even when I switch to browser mode it still loads in the native browser.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] landwomble:
Hi All,

My S2 isn't very good at playing back flash video. My old HTC Desire would play any video embedded on a web page that you threw at it, but on the S2 it pauses, stutters and generally looks crappy. Video recorded on the device is fine.

Anyone else seen this?
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
Mine plays every flash video perfectly, even Youtube 1080p flash video. Must be something your doing wrong or crap internet connection.
[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
Sounds like a bad internet connection...is your flash updated to the latest?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I am sure you are trying to play them with latest Flash player installed and on Stock browser. Yes, I too can play the 1080p videos very well, and after updating the ROM to KI3 the Stock browser has gotten more smooth. I love it.
[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
Yep, i agree...works very smooth, no compaints at all....
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
If you are using Flash Player 11, just make sure you turn off "peer-assisted networking" from the flash settings app.
[Galaxy S II General] Latz:
Mine is doing exactly the same... poor choppy playback acts as if it's buffering all the time. If I pause the video and let it buffer for a while then play the buffered part it STILL plays back choppy :-(

I'm in Canada on Telus, my network connection is excellent, showing 'H' in the notification bar... tried it on wireless network at home too (which has no issues on other phones or on the PC's). I had a Desire HD too and that worked fine on the same setup.

Any help would be appreciated!!

PS I tried deactivating 'Peer-Networking' but that made no difference. Have also tried different browsers (stock, dolphin, skyfire) and alos uninstalled and reinstalled flash.
[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
Mine goes choppy as well on sd video on some sites. But I have had it play fine minutes before but different video link on same site. But this is on a site which the stock browser wont play, when forced to be detected as a desktop browser through useragent, and I had to use skyfire browser so maybe that is the reason
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.

So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.

My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.

if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?

Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide

worked like a charm

thank you very much.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter :)

this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.

yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.

you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.

have fun.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search :)

come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.

But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.

First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.

Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason :(

Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

I'm no noob to forums - I'm a veteran member of Estonia's leading IT forum of Hinnavaatlus.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.

Exchange worked fine for me...

Download another dialer application..

I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end :) really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.

cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try :) Dialer One maybe?

Thanks for the market tip.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
try dialer one. it has the function you are looking for.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Dialer one, go contacts and touchpal dialer are all good.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Thanks again I'm going to try it out and report back on how I got on.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly. :confused:

E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Yes, they could use some tweaking.

Unable to sign in to Skype. Forums aren't very helpful too.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah I think they need updating. From what I can work out the root for the HTC IS is not temp but the guide says it is?
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
What do you mean exactly? After restarting my phone is still S-OFF (if you asked that).
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Hell yeah. Got Skype working when I moved it to sdcard.

:cool:
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Ok I need some help here please...

I have HTC incredible S with S-ON and HBOOT 1.16.0000

a friend remote controlled my computer and installed revolutionary recovery clockwork (i think it is) and he told me all I had to do was boot into recovery and select "factory reset/wipe", then something about clear partition cache and then I browse to the ROM I want to install.

I chose cyanogenmod 7.1 as my first ROM, but ever since it's just the white screen with the green htc text/logo. It just stays on this, does not reboot or go in a loop etc... ive left it for 5 hours of anyone wanted to know. I've removed the battery, done the same thing for about 3 times now. I tried another ROM (MiUi or something) and it is the same.

I've lost contact with him for a while and don't know when hes back on. but is there anything I can do? He didn't tell me to backup, so right now my phone is nearly bricked :/ I cant put on the HTC ROM because they are .exe and will not recognise the phone because it is in recovery mode.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
I hope you made backup before you tried to install new ROM? If not, then I don't know who can help you. If you did, then try to restore.

The problem is, at least seems to me, that S-OFFing failed as it is still S-ON. So you would have to follow these instructions to S-OFF it properly.

I used these instructions for S-OFFing: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14861158&postcount=1

And for installing CM7 I used these instructioins:

Method via Recovery
1. Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
2. Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
3. Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
4. Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the HTC Incredible S.
5. Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
6. Select Install zip from sdcard.
7. Select Choose zip from sdcard.
8. Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
9. Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The HTC Incredible S should now boot into CyanogenMod.
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Boot into Recovery by holding Start button and Volume down, and choose "Factory Reset", and see if that helps.

If i don't i would download the standard HTC Rom (RUU) and place it on the SD card and flash it.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I think the problem is that your hboot is new as it is 1.16.0000 whereas the ones that can be rooted are 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
This is correct. I was able to install 'MiUi ROM' but the wifi/3g/phone did not work. at least its able to work on some kind of ROM....

Looks like it doesn't like cyanogen. Apparently when the person did it they said that it is s-off but it only says s-on because the radios are protected. but I am able to access root files...
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Erm Im a little suck. I'm currently using revolutionary to root my phone. however its asking me if i want to download and flash clockworkmod recovery.Should i say yes or no?
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
I said yes and I'm using that to install ROM and creating backups.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
When it says put CyanogenMod on the root of the SD Card what does it mean?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
It means don't put it in a folder
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Hi could you help me. I'm trying to boot into clockworkmod but I can't seem to.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Turn phone off (take out the battery if you have to)

Turn phone on again holding volume down and power button.

From hBoot menu choose bootloader, then recovery
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Okay just done it and booted into CyanogemMod.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Has anyone also noticed a drop of camera quality in CyanogenMod 7.1 compared to stock HTC?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Pics in bad lighting sometimes look very noisy but when you save them and go look at them in the gallery app they don't actually save like that
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Hey jakeyo,hyun looking for you at revolutionary irc channel.
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
Yes, this is the thing I'm most disappointed about. Sense camera took fantastic pictures. CM7 just added the touch-to-focus feature which I love, but quality just isn't there. Sometimes I take pictures with stock app and they show in the gallery incredibly noisy, lots of static and grain (as opposed to taking it through streamzoo or whatsapp or any other app, they show up fine).

I've been contemplating switching back to a sense ROM, maybe a 3.0 one, because the camera was substantially better. But CM is awesome in so many other ways so I'm sticking with it.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Oh , hearing you mentioning about the camera , I took out my IncS immediately and started to snap a picture using the front camera..

Indeed, there's incredibly showing lot of noises and static and grain. I wonder if we use 3rd-party applications like "Little Photo" or "Pudding Camera" , still gives us grains or not.

I'm gonna test it out and just see whether it does.. Thanks for pointing out that :D
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
Right, I don't get grain when I use the camera from other apps..only the stock ROM. However even on other apps the pictures don't have nearly as good quality:

CM7: http://www.streamzoo.com/user/Just_in_Asia/uploads/latest/93766

Sense: http://www.streamzoo.com/user/Just_in_Asia/uploads/latest/72182

example of the grain I mentioned using the stock camera: http://www.streamzoo.com/user/Just_in_Asia/uploads/latest/103307

notice the right side, that texture is not real, it's completely added by the camera. I have tried adjusting all settings but can't get rid of it.

edit: other issues - camera menu is landscape only, and the camera is not full-screen like sense.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
If you could keep me updated whether this problem can be solved. I'll really appreciate it. Thanks :)
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
the low light camera lag is a major turn off for me on all AOSP ROMs for the IS.

[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
opps my bad thought it was newer
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Do you have to install this using clockworkmod or is it just an extra app? does it fix the lag and poor quality shots?
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
you just need to install it, its the MIUI camera app but nevertheless AOSP ROMs always have poorer camera results compared to Sense ones.

I just wish the camera lag was fixed, I would permanently shift to CM7 then.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
yeah but CM7 is so good compared to sense its worth it.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
That miui cam made such a huge diff..

I'm stoked
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
So a must have?

What happens to old cam app - will it be also always running in the background?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
You'll still have the other application too you can choose which one you want to open.

Definitely a must have..

This isn't grainy at all
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Wtf? Who says its not grainy.. its grainy like hell on my phone... lol wait just let me upload a picture.. or perhaps I installed it theView attachment 749326 wrong way
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
With the MiUi application I posted?

It fixed it completely for me

Install it from the link in first posted.

That looks more out of focus than grainy, use the "touch to focus "
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Ok basically maybe I installed it the wrong way. I went to the post then there were 3 attachments there, so what I did was I downloaded the first one and installed it as a apk. Didnt fix for me :( . helpppp
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Install the ffc fix one, and then you will have two camera apps.

Open the new one lol

It will have a different icon
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
You mean .. "MIUIcamera_v17_Fixed2.apk " ? lol Im confused. Well I do have 2 cameras now but whenever I start them , it's the MIUI one that is coming up lol

The camera app will also look completely different

Yes that one.

Yep now take a pic with the MiUi cam it looks way better.

Use the touch to focus and take a pic.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Okay I found out a super weird thing. When I view the photos or drag it up to my computer it looks okay. But when I view it in my phone... its grainy as hell.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Are you positive you're using the MiUi application?

Mine did that on stock but not the MiUi one.

To be sure remove the camera apps completely and then install only the MiUi apk.

Also, go into the cam settings and make sure to pick 8mpx. Mine was set to only 2mpx or something like that at first.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
What's your resolution for taking picture in the MIUI cam. Im very positive that im using MIUI cam . lol i even deleted the stock cam from my root explorer.

WTF i went into the camera settings and my picture size I set it to : 640 x 480 and it gave me better results compared to 3264 x 1952 (in the beginning)
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
I'm using 8mpx and my camera is working great.

Try 8 again there was something on the description about switching it then switching back if you had issues
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
It's no Sense but not nearly as much grain (flash off..still some grain with flash on)...I'm at the highest widescreen resolution. Thanks a lot for this info

and it's fullscreen! awesome
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Guys, using " Little Photo " instead. I give up on the MIUI camera cause mine appears with grains no matter me trying to install APK or flashing via recovery. Haha . Little photo is much simpler with not grains and the ability to capture just with a touch on the screen. And also inbuilt effects functions after you captured your photo
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
Is little photo full screen? I've been playing around more with MIUI and yep - still grain, you're right...i had a few lucky photos I guess

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Ok it's not full screen but quality is much better...thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Quality is the dope man. I think we can't use MIUI or stock camera on AOSP ROMS. I tested a lot camera apps and I found out that "Little Photo" and "Pudding Camera" works the best
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Hey any one here knows how to fix the GPS? It totally sucks when I'm lost just now trying to locate a place and my friends giving me bad directions. My GPS doesn't seem to lock on even with GPS satellite on.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
What do you mean 8mpx. I dont see any option to select that. Also how good is your quality. Mine is ok but still not as good as stock sense.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
8 mega pixels under image size.

Ah well i dunno then guys it cleared up the grain completely for me I guess im just lucky.

I read it did for many others on the incredible 2 as well...
