Super duper ROM

OK, here follows my extensive review:

I bought an Incredible S last week and the first thing to do is hack it and reload the Rom, initially I did not wanna go For Nik 1.5 because of the charging bug and it being recource heavy. I had ARHD for a while, but it doesn't truly show off the Phone's capability. Then I saw that Nik said he was gonna release an update which fixed these things, I followed the tread closely and got truly hyped when he showed the pictures of the Tron theme (The coincidence is that I own a Alienware M17x laptop which is Tron themed !!! ) I think I installed the Rom the moment it came out, but I wasnt instantly blown away, because I come from an AOSP phone and I had some trouble adjusting to Sense and the rosie launcher, so foolishly I reflashed my nandroid of ARHD .... but I could not shed the memory of the awesomness of Nik's Rom, so I installed it again with some modifications :

-I removed the themed program icons

-I removed a lot of HTC crap / widgets I wasn't planning on using, but I kept ffcourse rosie and the lockscreen

-I installed lord kernell, virtous script and oc/uv beater and i run Oc'd to 1.4GHZ

-I calibrated battery and had a couple of charges

-The rom runs now very smooth and it looks totally awesome, all my Iphone owning friends are green with jaleousy, hahaha ...

-Everything, and then I mean everything works as it should

-My Contact info got synced instantly with FB and so did my picture

-The audio quality is totally awesome !!

-Antutu scores are as expected not oc'd=2500 oc'd=3000, very very well done for sense 3.5 !!!

-Battery life seems pretty solid, not worse than ARHD, and it's still too early to tell anyway, but it looks very very promising

-games run very good, and to my feeling Asphalt 6 runs much smooter on this rom compared to ARHD

-I totally love the camera app, my front cam works as it should and video recording as well

-Boot time is okay, but i don't really care about boot time anyway

-The only negative point I have is that the Rom makes the phone so awesome that i cannot stop touching it and that makes my wife pissed off !!!

So Super thumbs up to Nik & co !!!!!

THIS IS THE ROM TO HAVE WHEN YOU OWN AN INC S !!!!!!

@psyloid

nik couldnt have made the rom better without capy's tweaks :P

we gotta thank capy too
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Lol! I get the same with my misses :( How did u get such a high score!? Did u say u have de-sensed
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
I thanked nik & co, so that is everybody who contributed to this ROM ;)

Not completely de-sensed, just a lot of HTC stuff I dont use, but i still use the HTC launcher, lockscreen, clock, customization, Dialer, SMS etc.. And mind that I overclocked to 1.4 Ghz
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
How do I get rid of Twitter and Facebook chat?
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
u mean uninstall?
[HTC Incredible S] qlouis76:
Yes, Mine is there... I remove account and add again...
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Dah, ofcourse. Thanks. Will hit the button when I can
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
You can just remove it with titanium backup, even with the free version

Thats how i cleaned up my install ;)
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
How did you remove the acct?
[HTC Incredible S] qlouis76:
Just remove from the option...
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Anyone tell me what the stock oc settings are for this ROM. Want to test it out, but didn't save them before setting my own

My Review! Will not be an experienced review! But its from my part!

Pros:

1. Incredible battery performance! Went 3 cycles of battery! Really good

2. when compared to other sense 3.5 roms this rom has a good signal reception

3. Good speed, touch response (from my side i think i dont need to overclock my device! as it is already providing a good perfomance)

4. Great graphics work! really loved the boot animation!

5. "Switch Bootanimations/Downanimations" a really useful tweak

6. games run really smooth! Especially the Black pegasus game :)

Cons(for now) As Nik will fix all issues soon :)

1. known adobe reader issue

2. As "alfa7d" posted "i found one bug

when i am trying to take a photo using front cam i found a green line in the left side and in the gallery for the same photo i found the color of the photo pale and not correct !!!"

On the whole the ROM is incredible for INCREDIBLE S and i would add the comment from "buller22" that "overall impression of the new rom ...... damn close to being perfect"

Rom got me a low benchmark score but i will not mind that because for my utility the ROM is already good!

I'm glad that u have built the ROM by sharing ur expensive time for us!

Many a thnx again!

Wish the ROM will be 100% Bug free soon!!! All the best nik!

Not a Must but i would suggest you to add tamil fonts and keyboard ! So some Tamil Nadu flashers will be delighted, So am I!!

I got sloppy in the settings ...

Thanks again for the reviews guys, means a lot to hear from our users.
[HTC Incredible S] Niitn4590:
Thanks Nik for the wonderful ROM!

loved the Tron theme, especially the blue icons on the status bar..would have loved if all the icons in the app drawer were the same..(But I can adjust with it..:P)

I have been a ARHD user until now. and I had no problems with it.. But the reason I have changed to this is because of your tweaks..love them to the core.

In fact I flashed your ROM the day you have uploaded it. But couldn't post my happiness as I'm a newbie and haven't completed 10 posts in the forum in order to reply here..:P

But anyways, thanks man!:D

Wanna report 1 bug for video playing

When playing video, it cannot automatically fix to the screen
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:

[HTC Incredible S] chickwan:
I mean when playing video with wide screen, it doesn't automatically rotate to fix the screen, the video is cropped
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:

[HTC Incredible S] chickwan:

Normal video get problem with automatically rotate to fix with screen
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:

[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
HTC doesn't have native video call as yet :(
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
That's weird, I really don't have it :S
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
yeah.. that's 1 thing that sucks about htc phones..
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
cant it be fixed by dev's !

I mean cant u or the other dev's out there can fix and enable there might be a way na?

Or is it a hardware reason ?

I googled this from a guy MrDilsho on may 11

Hi there. I emailed HTC about this and they replied with:

Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC Sensation.

Making Video calls is currently only available by downloading 3rd party applications.

Video Call Compatibility

AT present (April 2011) these handsets run the 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread) versions of the Android OS and these does not natively support video calls.

In the future, if the device is updated to 2.4, it is rumoured that this will natively support video calls, but this is not known yet.

In the meantime, until video calls are natively supported, customers will need to use a third party application to utilise video calling. The people they are calling will need to also have this software installed on their handsets.

There are currently two applications which will support video calling, Fring and Tango Video Calls.

Skype have said they will be updating their software in the future to support video calling on the android platform.

If they can do, you guys can do na? there must be a way! also if u have time ask any of ur dev friends

Thanks !
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
You don't understand what he means, I got excactly the same problem, tried to make a screenshot but screenshots won't work in videoplayer.

Play a 720p video when you holding it vertical in your hand and you will see what we mean.

I had the same problem in v1.5 but can't remember having this in older rom.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
you mean video call through skype ,fringe etc?
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
ok i think i know what u mean.

i played a 720p MV vertically, and the singer's head is above the screen. (in the black area) and when played horizontally everything is seen.

is that what u mean?
[HTC Incredible S] PhuongHoang:
I donn't think so. That's mean he want nik add the function video call into Rom.
[HTC Incredible S] arash86:
what about arabic patch?:confused::(:(:(
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
Yes, that is the bug.
[HTC Incredible S] ajeya:
that is too much to expect then. i think only htc can rectify this. correct me if i am wrong.

well in my opinion video calling from gtalk or skype is free and more convenient :D

(the only problem being the availability of hardware & software on both sides :rolleyes: )
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
tap screen once, once the controls pop out, tap more. then tap fullscreen
[HTC Incredible S] sgyh0521:
in fact the FC in recording videos with stereo sound on was caused by the newest rcmix kernel(after v6.0 all rcmix vivo kernels have the same problem)

it also appears in ARHD using the same kernel and with others stereo sound work well
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
haha! but if that is possible it will be great!

no native videocalling over 3g!

ya exactly ! if that is possible!
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
It still shows only half of the video.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
dont know what's wrong with your phone, i did that and it's all good.

maybe the video's proportion is not right lol

apparently some1 solved his issue similar to your's ( i saw that thanks at the bottom of my post) lol
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
I am looking for this work on this rom.......

[HTC Incredible S] darkidz555:
ermm i have a question when u guys install this v2.0 roms what the camera u guys have i mean izzit is stock 3.5 camera o is htc amaze?
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
@darkidz555 its htc amaze camera
[HTC Incredible S] darkidz555:
nik why mine become stock 3.5?

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

i will write some small review about mine opinion

battery life : is realy great in all nik roms i dun even face any battery problem in nik roms from the beggining.sometime is juz kernel i flash alot of kernel and those kernel give me diffrent battery life but in true nik battery life is cool.try to dont use auto brightness instead of AB try to manual set it to 30% or 25%.as what i notice display is realy eat hell lot of battery juice in incredible s.and 1 more idea is turn off the screen on animation and off animation it will boost ur battery as well.

performance: is truely fast and stable.for other people if u having slow or laggy scrolling try to set all 2d in tweak setting.1 more thing is try to change the clock widget in home screen to the smaller i mean is the sensation clock widget this will also make ur scrolling faster.

camera: for you guys who having FC in video recording try to close stereo recording as nik mention or try lord kernel i try v4.0 and 5.0 both is ok but dun flash to rcmix kernel it will give FC in video recording except u untick stereo recording.i individually prefer htc amaze camera cuz of its performance and quality is better than stock 3.5 camera.

data connection is work

wifi connection is also working

and if u notice some bug in icon of signal or glitch in the reboot menu or in anywhere else try to flash back to original themes. hope this help

im just new here to make review.hope i help someone out nik u r the man love u guys ^^
[HTC Incredible S] Abdullah Dot:
thank you very much Nik and its working
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
I dont have stereo recording option in camera. Is it like it supposed to be?
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
@nik, Will UV affect the wifi signal?
[HTC Incredible S] sdkim89:
Okay so I did this - I set up OC/UV and so everything (battery-wise) is good now.

One more question though - Is there a way to make it so that sleep does not affect wifi? It seems to turn off wifi and all when it goes to sleep.

OR

Is there a way to set the timer for sleep? Like a set amount of time before it turns to sleep?

Also found a big. Facebook Chat widget bug. When going to the FB Chat Widget panel screen, it quickboot restarts (HTC boot screen). (This is after coming out from sleep)

Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] Niitn4590:
Guys! i'm kinda a newbie here..

I really don't understand oc/uv beater and all those!:( But I do want to improve the battery life! So I would be really thankful if you could show me any post explaining these things...:)
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
First go to settings, power, there u can adjust the sleep mode of the phone. Secondly go to settings, wireless and networks, WiFi settings, there press the settings soft key again (the backlighted button) and choose advanced. Here u can set the WiFi sleep policy as well as the performance. See if that helps
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
first of all you can read the posts.

here's the thread for OC/UV
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Try hitting the search button in here and the general thread. Failing that, off the top of my head there is a post in the themes and apps thread, second post down I think, about best settings. There are links to other threads in there. I have heard some people in here say though they get better performance without messing with oc and uv. Good luck
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Rcmix 7.1 kernel [Nov 19] added to the second post , give the latest kernel a try :)

Thanks to thkhai for pm the link :)
[HTC Incredible S] nikhil007mmus:
Im talking here about this issue : "On the other hand, when I pull down the status bar, the pc always sound ding dun dun ding just like the usb cable un unplug and plug."

Guys when you connect your phone to the computer while toggling between charge only , disk drive etc. options when you pull the notification bar the phone keeps on connecting and disconnecting .. I and capychimp were working on this a few days .. Finally i guess i found a fix .. Give it a try guys let me know if it works for you :

Is it different with old version (2way recorder) or not?
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
@nik, i agree that U add the daemon by default in the next release, so that we don't need to install 3rd party software to control it........;)

[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
oh okay, thanks for the feedback
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
hey nik i posted abt the native video calling! any info on that??
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
didnt u read? htc said they dont support native video calling. only with 3rd party apps like skype fring n tango. viber is working on their video calling engine already
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
viber is very good. it has saved me a ton on charges. hope when they put in the video call that there's an option to just do a voice and voice/video
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
Blue overscroll would be nice. Lightening pepsi blue :P
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
that was the issue raised in V1.5... is it still that case for V2.0?
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
I'll try this out, although I never tried pulling down the status bar when charging etc, although it would happen when the phone went into screen off. Big problem when in disc drive and transfering music, have to keep it awake all the time. This was the same on ur final version, never tried v1.5. I'll let u know how I got on....
[HTC Incredible S] Nicheuji:
I selected Sloppy's setting and restarted my phone, but I'm quite sure it was noticeably dimmer when in v1.5 than now, v2.0

I think my Sloppy setting is 'broken'. How do I go about fixing it? The brightness kinda hurts my eyes =\
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Ok this did'nt work for me i.e the drop down status bar is fine, but as soon as the screen times out it disconnects. Bit annoying :(
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Uh oh. Did not transfer music yet. But if this is the case its an urgent problem that needs to be fixed
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Works fine for me
[HTC Incredible S] jeweettoch:
I keep getting FC's on a Gtalk video call.. It worked before on v1.5 (or maybe it was 1.0). Anyone else has this problem?
[HTC Incredible S] Abdullah Dot:
i forgot to mention that in language settings there are only Arabic,English, and Francais Locales ...

your previous roms used to include all Language Locales ...

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

changing between languages English to arabic caused desktop htc sense launcher FC ...
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
Yes I tried it, but again I don't get a pop-up when I plug my phone to my laptop, it only charges and no icon or something in taskbar.

It does work when I unckeck the "Ask me" setting in Connect to PC settings.

I don't have Sloppy brightness at all in te tweak settings :(
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
use lord clockan's 5.0 kernel
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
what does V5 have?
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
Same here buddy Sloppy was noticeably dimmer what I got now is completely different. I guess I can say Sloppys settings in v2.0 is pretty much like stock ones.

Front camera FC's with gtalk and skype.

Same problem here, i noticed that the problem is related to the front camera, it looks like it cannot initialize the camera. The front camera is not working with skype too.

Some ideas to fix it??
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
ATTENTION: everyone using the supercharger please READ THIS ... The scripts are nt running properly because of init.d problems ...

The scripts are messed up ... Please go to /etc/init.d and remove the supercharger and kickasskernelizer scripts ...

Then use script manager to run these two scripts on boot and as root from /data ...

Reboot and run the initial setup script for the supercharger to confirm that every thing is working :)

If anyone has any problem please ask ... I'll try and help :)
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
i dont know if anyone of u faces this, when using the bliss style quick launch widget, dragging it to the "customize" toolbar at bottom left makes it unable to change apps, then when exit customize mode, it just disappears. when u zoom out, u can see it, but when u scroll back to the screen where it was, it isnt there.

Excellent ROM

Just 2 question

1- ItandyBatteryMod Not correct see the picture

2- In all roms ( Not only yours) Arabic language in message, people,dialer start from the left side not right side ( if you wan pictures to explain more in can do )

So, is there any path to make them start from the right side ??
