1.1 gb is well enough!

On Hyperion I still have 0.91 gb with all my apps Installed!

Other phones which claim to have 16 gb, 32 gb, don't have that much for app storage!

They have 2 gb available for apps, and then 14 gb (or 30gb) is used as the phones 'internal' SD card.

So its more or less the same as ours..

on my galaxy tab, when I lag fixed it, i had to give up 500mb app storage for the partitions!

So I lost even more memory!

Cumulative patch added to post #2

Guys,

Removed the previous OC patch and added a cumulative patch, easier to handle and less scary for new users.

Bottom line: Please apply.

This one fixes the OC Daemon, and also fixes the issue with the bliss quicklaunch not appearing as valid widget, which only happened with clean installs of V1.1. Should be fine now.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hey lowveld, is there any way to get that patch for volume button wake up that we had in hyperion?

Will the old one work or do we need a new one for this rom? Any ideas?

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

I'm sure it's possible, but I have to code it myself. Do not flash the hyperion patch, behavior would be unpredictable...

This one for some season won't let me move it out of my downloads folder after I've downloaded it.
[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
install it from recovery.
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
But before I install it from recovery don't I have to put it on the root of my SD card first? I can't move it out of my downloads folder.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
In recovery you can navigate to your Download folder and flash from there.

Pay attention, you should only apply mods made specifically for this rom, or for rcmix 3d 3.1 if you installed the tweaks!
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
Thanks, I think I'll not bother flashing that % battery after all. I'll stick to mod's that are for this ROM only :-)
[HTC Desire S] admds:
Is there anyway of enabling loop devices in this rom. Please please. Or is this not possible. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Loop devices must be enabled at kernel level. Honestly, I can't remember if I enabled them or not on Endymion V1.0, but if not, I'll enable them next release.

Well, the boot animation was changed by the control center, but it shouldn't have happened without you clicking on it... The permissions are correct, I think. The down animation is a link to the boot animation. Change it with the control center and tell me if it works.

As for the notifications, they are missing on the themes, I had mentioned it before, but it works anyway.

One note: do not use the control center while you have the sdcard mounted somewhere else!

I'll update the app, but not this weekend, I left my laptop at work, and have the latest source there.

Yeah, there seems to be a problem with the quietly rooted animation, as when I clicked stock, it changed it both the boot and down animation to the stock ones but when I tried applying the quietly rooted animation again, it got applied but the down animation got changed too, to the wrong sized quietly rooted boot animation.

my phone wasnt chargd for around 17-18 hrs...and when i checked d battery usage..it showed..well...

17hr16mins34secs...lyk dis...

but once i rebooted the phone...and then aftr 10-15 mins went on to chek d battery stats just fr some reason...

it was 5mins4s on battery...all history was wiped...

i hv no idea y dis happend..i tried clearing d cache...dalvik cache..charged it to 100% n th wiped battery stats..

but again it still is d same..

it shows d same thin..as soon as a reboot takes place...

stats are reset.. :(
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
This is perfectly normal. Every time you reboot, the counter resets to zero for up-time calculation. You can't keep your phone switched off for 8 hrs and expect the battery stats to say that it's been up for those additional hours too...

I hope you understand.

Hi guys! This ROM have Beats Audio?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, it has beats
[HTC Desire S] JagSem:
Happens after booting up and rebooting.

What could this be about?

Edit to say: Coming from 3.0, just flashed it. Not a clean install. If I do clean install it, I'll probably remove all the Facebook apk's. Don't have FB account.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Easiest way is to uninstall any facebook updates in the applications menu. Could be caused by flashing v3.1 over a more recent version of Facebook (it could have been automatically updated while you were on 3.0)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes, I was aware of that. It's bacause I'm not using the camera from rcmix, as it has other issues.

With this one the volume key tweak is not working, but panorama is more stable, and you also get the mirror app.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Can you incorporate newer tweaks into this? The one with RCmix 4.0
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks.

Haven't checked it out yet, but I'll look into it.

Same policy applies: only if It's worth it, not just for build numbers.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
In short: no.

I have explained this before. As Capy now released his Rom to the DS, I think It's disrespectful to keep reusing his work on "competing" roms. It's not porting anymore, It's taking unduly advantage.

New tweaks to endy, I'll do myself. Please respect my opinion, and of course, Capy's work.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I thought that too when the ROM was released, so i didn't post it back then. But now, the RCMix thread is locked and the official RCMix ROM is discontinued, capychimp no longer supports multiple devices. So the situation is different, it'll just be porting not stealing ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks for looking into it!

I agree, if its not much changes, don't bother!

I've been on Endymion 2.2 for the longest on any ROM, and it settled really well and stable. It feels very lived in!

I agrre with Shrome, Capy said he may be discontinuing RC forever. He locked the thread and said he is going to sell his DHD :(

That means no more upgrades...

So perhaps you could use the tweaks as its discontinued...? ;)

I love them too much!

But at the end, its your ROM! You decide! :)

Great job as always!

coming back to whether it's worth it or not, i'm curious, what's new that rcmix 4.0 brings... tried searching but couldn't really find a changelog or features list (my keywords are all over the place :p)

can anyone briefly iterate or just point me to the right direction

btw thanks lowveld for his awesome support, his roms threads are probably one of the few that are still alive since its "grand launch", since the first that i could remember the 2.1 LBC mod till the 3.5s now quite a few have dropped support :o
[HTC Desire S] JagSem:
Uninstalled the Facebook app and I haven't seen the force close box pop up.

Just out of interest;

How come FB is in this rom? Some of the apps (FB Chat etc) don't have the uninstall option in the manage application menu?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
all RCMix 4 has (had) is newer tweaks. I won't recommend it, it has weird wifi glitch, it drops every now and then.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Anything installed to /system should be "uninstallable". Stuff you download from market or other sources goes to /data and you can uninstall.

A typical manufacturer Rom goes entirely to /system. Custom roms typically place more stuff on /data due to partition size.

And of course, with root access, you can go into /system/app and uninstall whatever you want.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Shamz84:
Hey, I've install this rom and all your patches great work. I have a few questions first what happen to the HTC sense FB app? As that used to work for syncing my contacts bdays and pictures.

Also I can't tell if the beats audio is working and will it only work with the HTC music app and no others?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
1) htc fb is still there, but has been integrated and cleverly hidden by htc now.

It will still sync. You just need to sign in once this way.

2) beats only works on htc music app. Nothing else
[HTC Desire S] Shamz84:
Thanks I thought as much with the beats.

O ok, as long as the Facebook app doesn't sync my contacts on to Facebook that's is cool by me.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] akuma24:
Hey lowveld thanks foutre the fantastic ROM, is it possible fore you to fix the wifi issue on the desire s, I'm taking specifically about it when the signal drops even though the phone is still in range
[HTC Desire S] JagSem:
Only works with the HTC music app. Also, there is a bug that when you get a call, or if you pause the music, Beats stops working.

When you play music, Beats audio icon comes up. Drag the bar down, click on disbale and enable again and it will work.
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Hi Lowveld,

Many many thanks for Endymion it is pretty much perfect and certainly the best ROM I have used so far, I do however have one minor issue I seem to get a drop off in signal reception since flashing the ROM, not too much as to spoil the experience in anyway but it is noticeable, maybe this is something to look at in any future updates? That being said it is only minor and the quality of the ROM certainly overcomes a slightly lower signal strength in my opinion.

Thank you for your time and effort and please keep up the great work, you are a legend!

Edit : Flashed a newer radio and it seems to have solved my issue : )
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No signal issues here. Which radio are you on? I suggest updating to the latest version!
[HTC Desire S] icrazy:
The battery life is terrible , I changed the kernel to 1.2 and got a bit better but phone started to behave strange , random reboots , force close to the oc app etc.

I switched to other rom and I can see the difference . With Endymion 3.1 I would barely last 1 day .

We are talking about a second phone , used max 30 minutes / day , that usually lasts 2 - 2.5 days.

Anyway , I love your roms and I really appreciate your work, I will be back for sure on Endy when the battery drain problem is fixed.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
There hasn't been any battery drainage issue on any versions of Endymion.

I suspect you have a bad app installed which is draining your battery significantly.

I have 2.2 version (same as 3.1 without add-ons) I suffered some battery drains last week, but after uninstalling a rouge app, battery is better now.

Nope. No rogue app for sure. I have about 6 apps only since forever . Tapatalk, implus ,worldpress newspapers , google reader, igo, dragon poker. I have these apps now also with other rom and I have no problems, no battery drain. Like I said is a second phone that is not used very much.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hi there,

All I can say is that for me, Endy lasts about 2 days, with wifi and autosync to my exchanger server almost allways on, and moderate 3G usage when I don't have wifi.

As for better time with other roms, it would be interesting to know if you're talking about sense roms. It may not come down to installed apps, but common settings that cause draining. For instance:

- Make sure that sound settings like that thing that decreases ring volume when you pick up the phone is turned off. Pocket mode also should be turned off (they are constantly polling the proximity sensor for changes).

- Turn off phone finder (ideally just delete the HTC Sense account if you have one)

- You would be better with fixed brightness settings that with auto brightness

- Turn off "mobile data always on"

and etc. If you do a search around these forums you'll see that there are many sense features that are battery killers, as well as useless in my opinion.

Then again, it's all about what you like/need. I myself never cared much about battery life as long as it gets me through the day. And I'm not the best person to consult about battery time, as I usually connect the usb cable to try stuff out.

Cheers

How do I get the 3.1 Endy without labels?
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Ok, haven't touched my phone all day, and now i seem to have ended up in a boot-loop, what to do?

When the phone turns on and the screen where i enter my pin appears, it stays like that for about 30 seconds, then it reboots?

What could be the cause of this?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow! Thanks for sharing lowveld!

Never knew about Pocketmode! I'll try switching it off now and see if it makes a difference

Do you think it only affects battery (by searching with proximity sensor) when the phone is receiving a call? Or continuingly searching all the time in standby?

-------------------------------

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No idea mate, never faced anything like it. Have you installed anything recently? Any app that auto-starts, and when it doesn't find something could cause the reboot?

You're welcome mate. Actually, it never ocurred to me this was not common knowledge, my bad.

I'm not sure, but I think pocket mode keeps polling the proximity sensor all the time, so when a call arrives it rings louder. In my opinion, this was a waste of some poor programmer's time, caused by some idiotic manager.

Also, I forgot another tip: make sure that in wifi settings, sleep is set to "never".

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Cheers!

Yeah, ill try with it switched off :D

Why exactly leave WiFi sleep to never? Doesn't that mean WiFi is on all the time in standby? How does this save battery? (Mines always been on never anyway, just curious :D)

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Oly, the maximum battery consumption by any radio antenna is when it gets powered up (turned on from an off state). This is a particularly power hungry phase with wifi. When you re-enable wifi, from a "turned off" state, there is an initial spike of consumption that draws a lot of current from the battery to juice up the process of firing up the radio stack, then search for available networks, and then connect to one. Once it's on, it settles down to a much lower power consumption curve and maintains a significantly lower mean battery drain.

Secondly, every time wifi powers down, the 3G antenna stack (which was turned off when wifi was connected) fires up again, cycling through the same high battery draw i mentioned above, further shortening your battery life. And if you don't have mobile data set to on, when wifi switches off you lose all net connectivity, kind of defeating the purpose of a smartphone...

So if you choose to set wifi sleep policy to 15 min or screen off, you'll suffer this power drain every time you unlock your phone. And if you're a regular user, who needs the phone every 15-20 min, this cumulative drain is enough to dent your battery life. But if you hardly ever use your device, and are not concerned about connectivity, then perhaps letting the wifi turn off automatically is a better option for you. You have to choose according to your usage. I've personally had this set to "never" ever since i got the phone nearly 8 months ago, and on Endy, i easily get one and a half days of battery with my normal usage.

Hope i've been able to explain that properly.
[HTC Desire S] lokiloki:
It's in the RCMix tweaks settings

=========

Wow enigmaamit thanks for your explanation, that's very enlightening! :D I'm one of the "regular users" bunch and I thought setting the wifi sleep policy to 15 mins would be most efficient. Come to think about it from the angle you explained it makes much more sense :) am gonna change it now

Yes, the bootanimations don't scale well when used as down animation, unless the authors made them specifically for that.

Next update I'll check which animations support the scaling, and if not, use the default htc downanimation instead.

I haven't had much time lately, and also add more stuff to the next release, but meanwhile I MAY release an updated control center (finally got a couple of hours to mess with it).

For the short period that i was on Endy 3.1, i remember flashing mods i had cooked in the UOT kitchen for Endy 2.2, without any problem whatsoever (once Lowveld had rectified the Control centre-UOT kitchen incompatibility bug...), so it must be a problem with the mods...
