[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Just flashed the v2.2 update over my Endy v2.1 nandroid backup.

Feels peppy as usual. Can't really see how any update can be snappier than the 2.1 was anyway...:D

So what i did was to re-enable full 3D rosie from within the tweaks menu, and it's still awesome. No lags, no stutters... and no need to compromise on the beautiful 3D widgets.

The only thing left to see is the battery life, but since there are no major changes to the ROM base or the kernel, i don't expect too much of a difference there.

MIUI is now safely resting as a nandroid backup till called into action again. Oly, i'm still with you!!

Did love the eye candy immensely; oh, and lowveld, the dialer and e-mail are not so bad in the new version 1.11.11. The firewall feature is epic. Native two-way call recording support! And the incoming and outgoing call screens are the best i've see on any ROM, OS, or App. Period!!

But i agree with you on your reservations regarding the contacts app... sense mercilessly bobbitizes everthing else out there when it comes to that.

Just one more ROM left to try.... and that's the Virtuous Affinity.

So here i am, back home, where i feel like i really belong. :)

Oh, Endymion! thou shalt be the death of me...;)
[HTC Desire S] wzj1633:
Excuse me.

Where can I download honeycomb skin seperately? As I delete it without abandon.:(
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Installed update early yesterday morning and noticed no degradation of battery life whatsoever :)

Oh and lowveld does this release of source code for ICS mean you will be giving us an early Xmas prezzie maybe?
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
is the Arabic language patch ready yet? :)

btw Thanks a lot!! Endymion is The Best ROM with sense 3.5 out there :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ok :) least I'm nit alone :p

I will flash endymion and try it out soon!

Cheera lowveld!
[HTC Desire S] wzj1633:
It is said that the ROM with new Endymion kernel v2.0 drop battery faster than with Endymion kernel v1.1? Because the 50mV undervolt with OC/UV beater is removed?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You can always get back the undervolting by using the OC/UV beater app. You're back to the v1.1 settings then.

And "it is said" has not been said yet, this version simply hasn't been out there long enough for people to post battery reviews yet, my friend.

To say that it is your personal theory/opinion would probably be more accurate, don't you think?... rather than making allegations like that about the best Sense3.5 ROM on the face of this planet...?

Please don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to flame you here, but i've used EVERY possible ROM available for the DS... Sense and non-Sense, and i still have to find anything as good as Endy. Though i must say the RcMix extended tweak feature on the new Runny v4 by capychimp is about the only thing missing from Endy (even that is buggy, with some of the tweaks causing missing notification bar, etc..)

Hope this helps. :)
[HTC Desire S] nnila:
Downloaded it using my phone, opened the zip using ROM Manager, it said do I want it to install updates and wipe Davlik Cache, I said yes.

Phone has now come on again and is updated.

Could life get any easier for updates??

[HTC Desire S] det66:
Been using since yesterday morning and have noticed no real difference to the battery. Yes I UV'd it by -25 but that was all (Mine was stable at the -50 on 2.1 btw),
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
I did the same, but my phone is not turning on! :D (it freezes at the htc logo)

I dont know whats wrong with it :o , but i think it got something to do with UOT kitchen (i changed some stuff) :rolleyes: .

i'll try to flash my back-up and try again.
[HTC Desire S] xPeterJx:
Yeah, I thought that's how I'd do it. I like the one in the update so going to keep that for now.

Thank you! :)
[HTC Desire S] nnila:
Might be nice to also maybe have a theme included for icons for battery, wifi, signal etc.

We all know the default Android ones are lacking - especially the battery which REALLY doesn't let you have any idea how much you have left.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The HoneyHD and GoldRush themes have modded battery and other icons included, but also a lot of other stuff, might not be for everyone.

For me, keeping a set of these mods is unpractical, as it is a very personal choice and for sure very few people would be satisfied with each mod.

Take this as a learning opportunity, and head out to UOT! :D

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
I give up, i backed up my old ROM (Endy 2.1) and then flash the updater in recovery, but its NOT booting up, i'm stuck at the htc logo, i dont know what i did wrong.

do you have any idea what might be wrong? maybe bad zip file??
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Check the md5sum of the file before you flash, the correct is posted next to download link.

Other than that, in you current V2.1 setup did you install any extra stuff to /system? Any "big" mods? It could be you simply have no space left for the update.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] nevara:
just flashed 2.2 and then the keyboard without arrows over 2.1 after dalvik wipe, but I get a WiFi error. Reverting to 2.1...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What WiFi error?

Could you be more specific? My Wifi is working perfectly...
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
I dont want to sound like a noob (i am) but how to check the MD5SUM??

anyway i used to have some customization from the UOT Kitchen, but now i restored the old ROM which is basically the same Endy 2.0 with the 2.1 update patch without any mods, and the same thing happened.

i just downloaded a fresh copy, and i want to try again,

-Update:

Same Thing Happened.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If you have 4EXT Recovery control app installed on your phone, you can check the MD5 sum of a file in the app itself.

If not, and you just have 4EXT Recovery installed (which is highly recommended) you can check a file's MD5 sum in Recovery menu itself under advanced option tab.

If you want to do it in Windows, you can use a number of free apps available like this one... http://www.fastsum.com/download.php

Personally, i like to use the 4EXT Recovery Control app (download from Android Market)

Hope this helps
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
Here is what i just did,

I did a full wipe, and installed 2.0 again, then i applied the 2.2 update patch (WITHOUT updating to 2.1), and it just booted. :D

I'm not happy that i lost all my information, :( but lets hope it worth it.

Thanks again
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Did you by any chance unlock with htcdev? If so, you have to repeat the boot.IMG manual flash, as you must have done the first time you installed endymion...
[HTC Desire S] wzj1633:
What's the main difference between Endymion v2.2 and Runnymede 3.3a? They are both sense3.5.The base? the core? or something else?:p
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Anyone observed problems with speakers after update to 2.2? Mine are dead
[HTC Desire S] det66:
All ok here
[HTC Desire S] jebinio:
[ROM][14 NOV 11][Endymion V2.2|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V2.0|OC|FFC]

hi, how can I cange the white htc bootup with a black screen with green tekst?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The boot up and down animations in Endymion are:

/system/customize/resource/htc_bootanimation.zip

/system/customize/resource/htc_downanimation.zip

Find the animations you want and replace these files (they must have this name) with root explorer or something similar. If you dowload the animations from somewhere, make sure they are not flashable zips. If they are:

-open the zips, extract the animations, and proceed as above.

-or change the name of the animations to the "correct" ones, make sure the path is the same, and flash them

[HTC Desire S] topoloso:
dopo l'upgrade a 2.2 il riavvio da errore, il widget di avvio rapido ha le icone e il testo troppo piccole, forse è sbagliata la risoluzione?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That's actually because of screen resize from 4.7 inch WVGA (Runny) to 3.7 inch WVGA (DS), On a 4.7 inch screen, this would appear normal.

However, you can flash Liamstears' resized Quicklaunch from the RCMIX Runny support thread, and get it back to "normal" for the DS.

P.S. If it's not so difficult, please consider using google translate before you post here. This IS an english speaking thread here.

I had to go through Google Translate to answer YOUR question. I think it would be better if you did the translation beforehand. That also ups the chances of people here understanding what you're asking and helping you out...
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
The speaker works again. No idea what was wrong
[HTC Desire S] nevara:
Yeah I unlocked with htc. I thought I only needed to flash the boot.IMG when installing a different rom.

Will try at a later time again, thx!
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
Hi lovweld, i think the lines that occured in the camera only happens when you use the camera under indoor lights and not when you're outdoor. Maybe this can help you solve it
[HTC Desire S] toke420:
Yes, it only happens with indoor lights.. I hope you can fix this with an update or something.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks guys. Does this happen when taking photos or when shooting videos?

Also, can you confirm it doesn't happen with other roms/kernels?

Lots of cameras have issues with equalizing fluorescent indoor lights. Can you try changing the color correction from auto to fixed something and see if it still happens?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
It doesnt occur with stock htc kernel and all AOSP roms. I tried changing the colour and it doesnt work
[HTC Desire S] toke420:
When the photo has been taken, there's no lines in the photo, but when taking a video, there's lines. It's the same like this video..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwZeI60qlAY

This video is the HTC Sensation, but the video is like that in the Desire S with this ROM. But other roms like Virtuous Unity with Pyramid base doesn't have this lines in the camera. I hope you can fix this, cause this ROM is the best! Thanks man!

Tried video calling using tango 2day bt for some reason ma front cam seems upside down in the other end........
[HTC Desire S] mv0hra:
I thought I would share my findings.

For people that are interested in 2-way call recording in excellent quality use CallRecorder by skvalex;

https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za3ZhbGV4LmNhbGxyZWNvcmRlciJd

Out of the three I have used, this is the only one that records the other party properly, the others have a very faint sound. It also works excellent with HTC Wildfire.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

I believe that the issue is related to Tango and not the ROM. You will get this issue with all Android phones, Tango are aware but have yet to rectify the problem.
[HTC Desire S] hardman:
Hello everyone,

Sorry, but this is the first time I have a comment on this forum.

I have the ROM V2.2 Endymion - by Lowveld in my HTC Desire S and liked to help me.

There is a bug, related to the use of special characters. If I send any SMS with special characters like â, á, ã, ó, etc., the person who gets it gets it replaced by another character (non special).

This bug only occurs when I have the system in my UI language - Portuguese(Portugal). In the default language this does not happen.

Can anyone try to find what is wrong?

There is another situation when I restart or turn the phone displays a notification of HTC to say: "The phone recovered from an abnormal recovery. HTC want to notify?"

Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey, a fellow countryman! :)

For the special characters:

Open the sms app, go to settings->SMS settings and tick "SMS charaters" to support special accent characters. But be warned that if you use any special character in a sms, your sms will only carry 70 characters instead of 160. This has to do with the different encoding needed, there's nothing you can do about it.

For the "Tell htc", go to "settings->about phone->Tell htc" and un-tick "Report errors to htc", ant it will stop annoying you.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] hardman:
Boas Lowveld é verdade, até estranhei ser um português a ajudar a desenvolver uma ROM, já por isso é que decidi usar a tua ROM.

Em relação ao meu problema já lá tinha a opção marcada nos caracteres especiais.

Eu envio as sms com os caracteres direitos, o problema quem as recebe as minhas sms mostra tudo desconfigurado. Os meus colegas até chegam a perguntar de que lingua é que estou a escrever... não dá para perceber a sms, mostra tudo desconfigurado.

De resto não tenho notado problemas nenhuns, tambem não testei tudo. LOL

Tens feito um bom trabalho.

Cumprimentos

_____________

Good Lowveld is really strange to be a Portuguese to help develop a ROM, since that's why I decided to use your ROM.

In relation to my problem since there was the option selected in special characters.

I send the sms with the characters right, the problem who receives my sms shows all mangled. My colleagues come up to ask what language is that I'm writing ... you can not see the sms, it shows all mangled.

Besides have not noticed any problems, also have not tested everything. LOL

You have done a good job.

greetings
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Can this be used on 2.2? Could anybody please provide a link to the same exact battery icon with percentage as in hyperion for 2.2.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
http://uot.dakra.lt/

Upload framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ directory, kgo.
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Thanx mv0hra.....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Correct, and I had a similar issues in HyperionV2.1
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Tried cooking the MOD but got a SHFT error on the output page. :confused:
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
You need to upload framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and also com.htc.resources.apk.

I know it's a pain in the ass uploading the last one, but beats waiting 30 minutes and then getting SHTF...

Cheers

P.S: Mods made for Endymion V2.1 are safe to apply to V2.2. Modes prior than that (e.g. even made for V2.0) won't work. Flash safe. (just got a mental picture of me drinking beer and flashing the phone).
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thank you for the quick reply. :)

Did upload all three files, my settings on the page were as follows -

Select flashable zip scripting - update-binary - MTD default

framework-res.apk - /system/fremework

SystemUI.apk - /system/app

Patch9 autofix - ticked

ThemeChooser preview - ticked

Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files - uploaded 3 files

went to summary and submitted.

Cooked again - UOT-11-17-17-52-2 , this time with one difference - Select flashable zip scripting - update-binary - EMMC - got a zip as a result but is it safe to flash?

Also I am not sure if this is going to look exactly like the battery mod in hyperion as I had tried one before that someone had cooked and the percentage text was very large, had to restore a backup that I made prior to flashing.

My choice was -Battery-> SCB with % ->Version S, Stock sense.

Edit:

Does it matter if I pull the files from the phone or from the ROM unzipped on my comp?

Please help.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
If you already have any mods and want to keep them, take them from the phone.

The Version S will look like hyperion. As for the update binary, I'm not sure. So I advise you to replace the META-INF folder on your UOT file with the same folder from a UOT file you actually know is working.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
I think I will redo it with files from the phone as I did a fresh 2.0 flash and then 2.2 updater, hence the base is still 2.0 in the files on the comp.

So if I redo it again with files from the phone and then replace the META-INF folder from the following MOD - Sotck HTC Keyboard with arrows for V2.2 on the first page, it should work, right?

Update -

New cook ( files taken from phone and META-INF folder replaced from Sotck HTC Keyboard with arrows for V2.2) also did not work, installation got aborted in recovery :( :mad:

Could someone please help?
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Just spent a couple of hours trying to cook the percentage battery MOD without success, just spotted your post. Thanks a ton!!!

Also if someone could enlighten me, what am I doing wrong in the kitchen.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thanks again, flashed this but reverted to the backup before this MOD as the green over scroll was different that I thought it to be, had the LBC MOD ROMS over scroll glow in mind and without the right scroll bar green effect. Appreciate your effort.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
My first "true" complaint post in XDA:

Endymion 2.1 had fair enough battery stats.

Clean-flashed v2.2 (formatted /system, / data & /cache then flashed v2.0 followed by v2.2). Booted up & used my typical settings. I don't OC as I have no use for it. My phone required charging up every few hours.

48 hours later, I change tactics. Cleaned out my DS by formatting the usual partitions; restored a nandroid of v2.1 then updated to v2.2. Settings untouched. Same battery depletion rates.

I like new stuff so I'd choose v2.2 over v2.1 but the battery drain is bothering me. Is there anything I can do about it or am I forced to revert to Endy 2.1?

PS: For both scenarios as well as the stable, low-battery-depletion-rates v2.1, my 2G (EDGE) is nearly always on. Could it be kernel-related or it the ROM? (statistics report DISPLAY as consuming 63% of battery charge; display is perpetually set to 11%; I lose 1% of battery charge every 2 - 5 mins). Any suggestions?

EDIT: I noticed default UV settings were different for Endy 2.1 & 2.2 (of course, the first post said so!). Lowering UVs to match. Gimme another 24 - 48 hours to post feedback.
[HTC Desire S] hardman:
Hi,

Still the same problem with special characters.

The problem is not the writing of special characters in my Desire S, but to whom I send shows all mangled with other catacteres. For example sending an sms with the word "Não", kindly send on a mobile phone, shows the word "Ndo".

I think it will be the format of the sms when sending utf-8.

lowveld or other person can test this please. Send a sms from Desire S with this ROM to another phone with special characters and what happens in coming sms received.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You're most welcome. I don't know what it is that's causing you so much grief in the kitchen, but if you are unable to cook what you want (and i see you've sincerely tried...) just tell me what all mods you want and i'll cook a zip for you if you want.

Just post your requirements here. I'm sure there are many like me who'd be willing to help you out. Will be operating most of the day, so will get back only by night. Will cook your mods then.

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] ata63:
is there any PERSIAN/arabic patch for v2.2??
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Is 'auto-sync' on/ I've found this along with display brightness to be my biggest battery drain. I've gone from about 15hrs battery life with auto-sync being on to well over 24 with it off and me doing manual syncs .Display brightness is around 30% mark also
[HTC Desire S] ata63:
Does it work on V2.2?? and how to install??
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
Nah. Everything that could be set to manual already is. Can't let data slip by on my limited plan, asides the paranoia over malware uploading confidential data. But with under-volting, mildly noticeable differences are already becoming apparent. Thanks for the suggestion

;)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
No worries mate. Not so worried about data as a lot of mine is over Wifi and as for personal data ;/ long as its not my bank details(which aren't on my phone) most of it is available elsewhere on the net anyhow.

U/V does really seem to help as well ,the only other thing could be a faulty/rogue app?

One of the battery monitor apps might be useful
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Just had a system freeze on MIUI... :eek:

For the second time!! I think its the tiamat kernel... back to Endymion for now.

Always the safest and mooooooost stable of the lot!! :cool:

Thanks HTC and Lowveld! :D:D
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thanks for the offer mate but currently I'll stick to the battery mod

already applied. Will definitely take you up on the offer if I need any help with the kitchen.

Swyped from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Tiamat kernel v1.1.5 is even more undervolted than Endymion V1.1. I checked out the sources and seemed "dangerous" to use them. Again, user experience will vary from user to user, depending on how lucky you were with your processor.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I just couldn't find any way to tweak either the undervolting or the CPU scaling...

No OC daemon UI... Beater doesn't work, and SetCPU use caused a system lock up... (Never really liked SetCPU anyway), but the OC/UV beater is a lovely creature. Would have liked to use it on Tiamat, but i guess it doesn't support it.

BTW, thanks for the UV info on Tiamat.

Was wondering why the battery was doing so well!! :D:D

But system stability is paramount for me. On crash, lock up, freeze or random reboot is all it takes for me to lose faith in a ROM, especially if there is no way to rectify/modify it on my end...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
IGNORE.

Ignore my silly question :)

i'm going to try 2,2 now :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, you could have used the regular CM kernel that comes in the ROM, that's not undervolted.

I always preferred setcpu, very simple sliders, easy to adjust, but if you want to use OC/UV beater with MIUI, you should just flash the Virtuous OC daemon. It's on MIUI thread somewhere.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
A rogue app may pose a serious difficulty especially if it's offshoot processes were engineered to evade detection. On a lighter note, I'm switching to my spare battery on the off-chance my current one is giving out.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Decided to switch to Endymion now!! :D

I'll learn to live with the small fonts..
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Welcome back Oly. ;)

This is gonna sound mighty suspicious to both ben and shrome!! :D:D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
yes, it is suspicious :p

Seriously though, this is the best Sense 3.5 ROM i've used. Capychimp's official build has some wifi issues and random reboots. For now, i'm bored of sense, AOSP time :D But i'll be back in a week
