List the one you want to remove.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No shrome. That is not entirely correct.

If you look closely, there are two checkboxes under the "Tell HTC" tab in Settings>About Phone>Tell HTC. You need to uncheck both to prevent the popup warning.

When you decline the "Tell HTC" offer at the end of the startup wizard, it only unticks one of them! The second one is turned on by default (the one with abnormal restart reporting) and users are never asked to turn that off at anytime during the srtatup wizard setup process. So you HAVE to either manually untick the the checkboxes or, take the path of the ninja and keel the bastard! :D:D:D

HTC is quickly learning from Apple, and getting sly at this stuff!!
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
not anything specific...but i would like to make my phone work faster without the clutters like "tell htc".."software updates" etc...i would like to know if there are anymore softwares like this?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Thanks for clarifying enigmaamit, i prefer the ninja option anyways :D :D :D
[HTC Desire S] kennyhkw:
Yeah USB tethering would defo be more efficient lol

Wifi hotspots drains the battery at almost 1% a minute!

Hope there's a fix for USB tethering soon as its one of the most useful things on a smartphone these days :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Tell HTC is safe to remove. Not are about SW updates, but I assume so.

anyway, you're on a custom ROM, there's no way you can get any updates via HTC.

You can also remove some stock HTC apps. I removed the transfer app, and a few others I can't remember.

Where would I be able to get the latest radio? My signal is really poor compared to how it was on the latest ruu from my provider, I'm assuming this is down to the radio. This is my first time using a custom ROM and i have to admit it is pretty damm good, the ui is great with a theme to it, also the beats audio is really good and I've used power amp for a while as the standard HTC eq was poop.
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
here's mine:

-family

-flashlight

-fm radio

-news and weather

Hehe :p wow, you removed alot!

Why use a Sense ROM if you want to get rid of most of them? :p

[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think changing the ROM changes the radio. To get the latest radio check the desire s development section, there is a sticky there with all the available radios.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Just be aware changing a radio is a lot riskier than changing a rom !
[HTC Desire S] dabado:
If it's causing the drop in signal then i will have to. I'll c how it goes, tbh o2 has been worse than normal lately so may well be that.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Yeah I've noticed that with them too.Normally steady 'H' signal lot of time it's 'E' recently
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Check the MD5 sum for the radio you download before flashing, you should be fine flashing to the latest or the one that suits your need.

Hi guys!

Finally on Endymion me too!

EXCELLENT job!

Just three questions:

Is it possible to increase the keyboard size?

Can i put the battery percentage inside the battery icon as well as it is in the Hyperion?

I also installed the Endymion_V3.1_addons.zip file, but I didn't really understand what I have in addition, on my phone.

I also noticed something strange during the ROM flashing.

I created a directory called Endymion into the SDCard, and I've put these three files inside it:

Endymion_V3.1_addons.zip

Endymion_V3.1_base_release.zip

Endymion_V3.3_updater.zip

Once I've installed the addons, the Endymion directory has been wiped and I found something else inside it:

android_bootanimations

android_fonts

GoldRush

HoneyHD

IceHD

Stock

Is it normal? Shouldn't be deleted?

THANKS a lot for this fabulos ROM dear lowveld.

GREAT!!!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Welcome!!! It's nice to see one of the last original die-hard Hyperion user moving up the Sense ladder!

As for your questions:

- it's not possible to make the keyboard larger (well, at least not easily). You must have noticed everything seems "smaller", due to things were sized to be viewed on Runnymede huge screen.

- It's easy to make the mod to include the battery percentage inside the battery icon. It's probably posted around here somewhere, I think enigmaamit did it once.

- The addons you flashed are for the theme manager. Look for Endymion Control Center on the app drawer, and play around. You'll figure what they do. :)

As for the sdcard thing, pure bad luck. The addons you flashed created a directory /sdcard/Endymion with the stuff needed for the theme manager, and overwrote what you had there... Sorry about that...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Regarding the keyboard.

Yes you can make it larger :)

The one that came with your ROM as I remember was themed with Gold Rush on 2.2.

Your patch in post 2 unfortunately doesn't work well, as it disables vibration, so I found a stock version of the keybaord in official ROMs for the Desire s, and I have has normal sized keyboard ever since :)

I think I got it from Blindndumbs' thread

[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
Just installed my first custom rom after searching a lot. I'm loving it. It's stylish and fast! Thanks
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes You've said! :) I've finally decided to move to Endymion! Absolutely better! The best one.

Yes, I noticed that actually. Nice to see anyway!

Well, I'm going to search for it. It's pretty necessary for me. It saves space in the top bar and it is also very readable.

Very cool, but what is the default look that comes with the ROM? How is it called, referring to the Endymion theme manager list? Is it the Stock one?

Yes, you are right no need to apologize! :) If I would copied the .zip files in another directory this wouldn't be happened. :)

So, this means that if I switch to Stock theme using the Endymion Theme Manager, the keyboard should be changed?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi there, not to sure about the keyboard and the stock theme sorry!

I just found a official Desire S flashable patch for the original keyboard which was slightly bigger than the one included here by default.

To get the battery mod... I made one a while back to, but I think I deleted the zip...

Amyway, it's very easy to make it yourself via UOT kitchen!

Hey, I'm using the larger keyboard from the sense 3.0 version. It's a flashable zip file.

I encountered some problem with PDroid.

After installing the Endymion V3.3 Framework patch for PDroid, the system, or even better the screen (and the buttons) became unresponsive after the boot. I thought the phone would be briked! :eek:

Fortunately, adb reboot worked like a charm and I finally was able to start PDroid, but I see that it stops at 40% when building the application list.

I don't think I've done something wrong, but this is what happened to me.

EDIT: I tried to start PDroid again and it worked this time. :)

Here you go... just in case you were still waiting ;)

Endymion Battery Percentage

To be flashed from Recovery.

Do take a nandroid backup before flashing.

Just a Dalvik wipe is enough prior to flash...

(I know you know all this @fbcyborg, but there are others out there not quite so.... errr... informed :p)

This is what this mod looks like :
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks a lot enigmaamit! Thanks vinprivag! :)

enigmaamit: you recalled a very important thing saying about the dalvik cache wipe! :) You never know!

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Just flashed the update and it is perfect now! :)

By the way: I noticed one more strange issue here.

Every time I reboot the phone the following notification appears:

Inform HTC:

The phone has been just recovered by an abnormal recovery. Inform HTC?

I tap on close and all seems to be ok...

It never happened before on other ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi buddy.

Don't worry about the "Tell HTC" thing. Its a useless warning.

You can turn this message off by going to Settings>About Phone>Tell HTC and untick both the check boxes. You will not get the warning "Tell HTC" message ever again.

Another option which is endorsed by the more adventurous is to simply uninstall the "Tell HTC" app using Titanium Backup.

And READ THIS (from Post 1775 onwards...)

Hope this helps.

I had the exact same issue yesterday, I tried everything, deleted the drivers different cable, rebooting phone battery out etc and nothing.. I then used another PC but before I used it I went into the settings and changed the default connection type to disk drive and it connected first time. Also like to mention, when it wasn't working on my own laptop I use run cmd and adb shell devices and it sourced the phone. I'm thinking there may be a bug with the connect to computer set up..

Hello all

How is sense 3.5 battery life compared with sense 2.1? I'm currently using the lbc mod Rom, and was considering installing endymion 3.3...

And another question: I read in a previous post that the font is smaller as the Rom was originally designed for a device with a higher screen. Is there a way to use a bigger font and make everything looks bigger?

Thanks !

Not sure if this will help. I use USB Deview. http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html

When I encounter issues, I remove the USB devices e.g. HTC etc. I then disconnect and reconnect. Then allow the PC to re detect and install the drivers again. This is necessary as I have a Desire and Desire S. I've noticed that there are times the drivers are not compatible. This is especialling true when going into Fastboot or Recovery.

Hope this helps.

Look around in RCMix tweaks, and make sure you have it turned on!

If using the OC/UV beater is there anyway to revert back to stock settings? I'm currently using smartass for sleep and awake, min=245000, max=1075000 as recommended by Lowveld although the device is undoubtedly quicker I would like to revert back to standard.
[HTC Desire S] icemanxpe:
i've already tried that. for some reason, when i put a tick in the tick box to enable screenshot in rcmix3d, it becomes unticked. i had the same problem with using volume rocker as camera shutter key in Endy 3.1 but that's been fixed in 3.3 but no luck with the screenshot option still. any thoughts?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, that's very close to stock. You only have to switch the governor to ondemand on both, that's the way htc ships it.

And the default htc frequency is 1024. The closest (on the safe side) you can get on Endy is setting the max to 998MHz.

Cheers

P.S. You're free to do it, but your setup is actually conservative regarding what some guys are pulling. :)
[HTC Desire S] dabado:
It's all new to me tbh, it's running super stable but I had just ridiculed my battery life so basically just want to compare stock against OC. Loving the ROM so far :-) . Only 1 noob question, can the endymion zips be deleted from sd card? I understand the update has created a Endy folder which has to remain.

Anyone having problems with bluetooth? I was just trying to connect my Jabra BT2080 headset and to my surprise it cannot be found... :(

BT is switching on (at least the icon appears), but 'scan' doesn't give me any results...

Sorry if solution was posted but I'm afc and tapatalk search isn't very good.

Oh... And screenshot feature doesn't seem to work for me as well...

Other than that - great rom. Love it even with those minor quirks.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Ok, That's a lot of people complaining about screenshots... There has been no problems with this previously. So please make sure that:

- You turn on that option in RCMix tweaks

- The key combination is Power+Home, at the same time, it's not any other combination.

How do you think I post screenshots of Endy? :P
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
M'kay, but that option is on, still no luck...

Also, any ideas about bt??

Facebook app FC randomly.

Is there anyone having this issue?

one more problem tih Facebook app :

while listening the music with PowerAmp, if I open the Facebook app, music sound freezes for a short time. this does not happen every time.

I use SetCPU for cpu setting and max cpu=884mhz.

any ideas or suggestions?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
1. Never had a single Facebook FC....ever. Not a ROM bug. Clear data, Uninstall, and Reinstall.

2. Go to Poweramp Settings and disable 'music focus" or something like that which basically dims the music when any other app or notification accesses the sound... It's a Poweramp feature, not an Endymion bug.

3. Get rid of SetCPU, use OC/UV Beater2 :D

[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I didn't mean the music focus setting. Facebook app seems to use a lot of cpu. If you'd be right, this must happen all the time when facebook app opens.

I'll use the OC/V Beater 2 and try reinstalling the facebook.

I agree. Facebook is a ***** when it comes to data and CPU hogging. So i personally disable all refresh and notification settings from the facebook ad, and use Friendcaster Pro...

Hey, the Internet Connection Sharing works great here.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
People with tethering problems:

This is an old issue, the problem is when you toggle it on. When you press the toggle, it immediately disconnects. Just press it again immediately. If it disconnects, do it again.

It can be fiddly to get it working, but it does work. One other thing to avoid issues with the notification bar toggles: Go to RCMix tweaks and turn on "Default Quick Settings". This is explained a few pages back on this thread.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I think your CPU speed it too low. That's why when your heavily multitasking, your phone cannot handle it and it lags I'm the music player etc.

Put your CPU up to at lease 998mhz. Remember, Sense 3.5 was designed for a 1.5Ghz device.

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:

If you're satisfied with performance, leave it alone. Personally I think Endy is great out of the box, and never overclock/undervolt. Most of the overclocking done around here is for bragging rights anyway... :)

Just change the 'default connection type' to USB tethering and plug/unplug a few times till it talks to the PC. This then kept the connection alive and worked fine.

[Q] Task synchronization o nExchange

I really like the integration of Exchange Tasks on sense 3.5 and ability to sync them... You can create task from sms, email. Is there any similar free app, which could be used on Reaper ROM? The stock mail client doesn't have this option... I know there is touchdown, but its quite expensive. Or are there exchange tasks in ICS?
