@lowveld

a new user has sent a post for you, but as new, he cannot send his post here.

So I post it for him.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I don't OC too, but that Guy was running his phone at 884mhz and complaining of lag issues.

That's why I suggested putting it at stock frequency or around 998mhz.

[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I put it at stock freq but didn't test yet. :D
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks Philos

Well, if it's asking for it, it's because I forgot to remove them. There's nothing in Control Center needing those permissions, but as I started the app from an HTC template, it was probably there in the manifest and I forgot all about it.

The only permissions the Control Center actually needs (I think, I don't have the code here) are WRITE_SETTINGS to store some global stuff used by tweaks, and the one to access sdcard, which I don't remember the name. Next version I'll remove the unneeded permissions.

By the way, that question was a bit paranoid on your part. It's sort of ok to doubt something downloaded from market or other sources, but you have to trust the dev which built your rom. The reason is, anything I include in /system, with any permissions whatsoever, will be automatically accepted by the android package manager process. Apps can be made invisible to the app drawer with no effort at all, etc.

Bottom line: there would be many other ways to screw you over without actually asking you to install something and having you agree on it. :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I agree with that.

It was kind of hurtful hearing that... i mean I'm just a fellow user of your ROMs, but it feels like being part of a virtual family, i'm entering all my sensitive information on a ROM designed by someone, it automatically implies express faith in the creator....and it was bitter to hear someone lay suspicion upon something built by the dev himself. I'm not saying the permission should stay...but instead of yelling it out, a personal message would have sufficed. As far as i know, there is no limitation of posts for a new user to use the PM service...:confused:

Hell, people root their phones and grant full root access to apps with all sorts of permissions ... without a second thought! But this was below the belt. I mean the question seems innocent enough, but the connotations are insulting. :(

I'm not flaming anyone, but hey, if you're human, you know that words can hurt. :mad:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, we have been here a long time. We completely trust lowveld. We know how dedicated he is to fixing even the smallest of issues. The guy is new here, and probably became paranoid after the whole HTC Loggers.apk and Carrier IQ stuff that happened last year, so his paranoia is justified.

EDIT: On the other hand, as lowveld said, if he did want to steal your info, there are many better ways to do so. An app that has 2 extra permissions is nothing. He could make "hidden" apps into the ROM which transmit all your data to him. So, if you are scared, stay on stock. If you flash a ROM, trust the Dev :)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
well said mate
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Guys, first of all, thanks for your support! But this is closed, no need to keep on about it. He seems like a really nice guy, and there's really no harm done, just a not well-thought post (we have several of those around)!

Let's just get on with other stuff, and keep the good manners that make me proud of hanging around the DS forums.

Cheers

I have never overclocked my phone before but I'm just wondering does this ROM come with an overclock present?

If it doesn't, how do I go about boosting up the CPU Speed? What are the min and max settings I should have my CPU on? What app should I use for the overclocking process?

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] 1st_paladin:
You are a real gentleman. Thanks for your graciousness and hard work to make this ROM so wonderful. Very much appreciated.

Thanks, but NO, thanks.

[HTC Desire S] catd3ViL:
Hi lowveld,

My little questions, this rom (Endymion V3.3) need extended partition?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

No. You're fine with the original partition map on the DS.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] catd3ViL:
Ok, thanks for your quick response! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
Going to try out some new ROMS, have downloaded this one and the virtuous_quattro_rc1_saga ROM.

I am now currently on the Oxygen ROM and have Tiamat 2.6.35.14 Kernel.

With this ROM, do I need to flash another Kernel before flashing the ROM?

Maybe this one: Endymion Sense 3.5 kernel - Current version V2.0?

Or is the kernel included when patching the ROM itself?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
The kernel is included in the ROM package.

No need to flash it separately. :)
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
thanks for that mate! :)
[HTC Desire S] bam82:
Are there any more themes available to download anywhere?

Like the ones in the control centre but would like to try a green one!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Just about themes...

If I go to Endymion Control Center -> Themes -> Launch Theme Manager, I see there are 4 themes:

Stock, IceHD, HoneyHD and GoldRush.

Is it the Stock one the theme which is set as default when the ROM is installed?

Since I would try them all, I want to be sure on how to come back to my previous settings.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I flashed Endy 3.1 and 3.3 updater, and my keyboard seems to have shrunk. Any fix?
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Could you post a screenshot please?

Just to check if it is like mine, because this seems to be normal (like other things) due to the Runnymede huge screen.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/72/20120119190739.png/

And it wasn't there when i previously flashed 3.1.....
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, maybe it's due to the Runnymede issue as I said in my previous post, because It seems just like mine, and I was not coming from 3.1 (I directly flashed 3.1 + 3.3 updater since I was coming from Hyperion), and I noticed that issue me too.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
i did that too (from virtuous quattro) but i had 3.1 a few weeks ago, that didn't have the bug.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

Saw the image, but I don't get it. Seems normal to me, and the same as in V3.1... Unless you were using the keyboard with arrows, and now they're gone.

Cheers

--- edit ---

the keyboard does occupy the full width of the screen, right?

@fcyborg: The stock theme is the one that comes with the rom by default, you can always go back to that safely.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
yes, it's just the keyboard with arrows, arrows removed. The actual keyboard is taller
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
By the way, I've noticed that the arrows are not present when the phone is in portrait mode. But this happens only with the stock theme.

In any case the keyboard occupies the full width of the screen.

And for me it's even better to be honest.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I found a keyboard "fix", makes it taller here - http://www.multiupload.com/Z850BA4X7P

I also made a circle battery mod with modified emoticons (hate the androids) http://uot.dakra.lt/downloadpickup.php?data=VU9ULTAxLTE5LTEzLTIxLTEuemlw
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've also noticed that the battery percentage has gone, after restoring the stock theme. No I have to flash the Batt%25_Endymion.zip patch again.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Just beware that I did have to fix the htc trace in the shipped keyboard, I don't know about that one...

Yes, the stock theme will put you back to exatctly the same appearance as when you first flashed the rom. Any mods you did, you have to re-flash them.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
I also have the stock theme but with "Endymion Control Center" and the "RC tweaks" tab below, from there "Battery options" and voila, you can change so that the battery shows percentage as well. This is under "Battery Text Style"
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, but are you sure it is just like this?
[HTC Desire S] nevara:
Could you fix that tall keyboard please? :)
[HTC Desire S] gr8guzzler:
Choose the "Gold Rush" theme and you will get the battery % just like that.

Cheers!!!

hi all i have just installed this rom for the first time and when i go on messages the counter is missing is there anyway to get it back ?

what i mean by the counter is next to the persons name it used to have a counter with the curruntly exchanged messages it used to be on my old stock rom any help would be great

thanks colin.
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Hi.

I bought Desire S one week ago.

I immediately de-branded, rooted, s-off it and now I'm running the last official rom (rooted).

Tomorrow I will flash Endymion rom.

I have just a question: should I do something to sd card? I have a 16GB card formatted in fat32.

Thank you very much.
[HTC Desire S] karlanal:
no, just flash the rom
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Thanks.

So no Ext4 partiton etc are needed?
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, I've seen that, but I want the stock one. :)
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Sorry for may be nooby question - I'm not new to Rosie, HTC, custom ROMs etc. at all... but I can not find how to switch the weather animation on the home screen OFF and how to make wallpapers scrollable... first time, that I feel myself so stupid... :(
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
The ROM is working fine and I like it very much, so thanks to the developers for this one!

One problem though. When I plug the phone to the PC with an USB-cable I have no option to mount it as a drive? Is this a known issue? I have no options at all when connecting the phone to the computer.
[HTC Desire S] karlanal:
look for the zip file here the last 10-15 pages, someone allready posted it

if you cant find it go to the uot kitchen page and make a zip file for yourselve
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually a lot of users reported something similar and I could never reproduce it. Until now. I just switched back to Endy, plugged the USB cable, and no notification at all. Weel, at least now I've got a chance to try to figure out what's happening...

Workaround:

- Go to Settings-> connect to pc

- Uncheck "Ask me"

- Set "default connection type" to "disk drive"

Now, when you connect the usb cable, it will connect as disk drive, and a notification on the status bar will appear. Pull down the notification bar, click on the notification, and this will bring up the full dialog where you can choose other connection types.

Sounds overcomplicated, but it really isn't. I'll try to figure out what's wrong. I'm switching back from Reaper, are any of the guys having issues doing something similar, e.g., not coming from Sense roms?

Cheers

--- EDIT ---

Well, this was fast.:

D/UsbConnectedReceiver( 2089): Rosie not complete, block 1000 secs

D/UsbConnectedReceiver( 2089): Rosie not complete, block 1000 secs

D/UsbConnectedReceiver( 2089): Rosie not complete, block 1000 secs

Apparently the USB detection receiver is connected to the Rosie launcher, and it won't work properly without it being the active launcher. I am currentçy using ADW, that's why it was not working for me.

Guys having issues with this: Are you using Rosie (the default HTC launcher) or some other replacement (ADW, Go launcher, Launcher Pro, zeam, ..)?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi mate.

Well, for the first question, just press and hold the HTC clock widget and remove it. Now add it again from the widgets menu, and this time, when setting it up, there is a prompt screen asking you whether you want full screen animation or not... Just leave it unticked, and viola, no more homescreeen weather animation!

(You can also long press and drag the widget into the settings icon, and configure it from there, but the first one always seems easier to me!)

As for the second question, this is not possible. There is NO WAY to make wallpaper scrollable in Sense 3.5, with a UI that runs in carousel mode and endless loop. Give it some thought and it will become clear why...it's mostly common sense.

Hope this helps buddy.

Oh, and yeah...welcome to Endymion. Haven't seen you around these lands before, stranger...:D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
eheh... Actually, in one of my "let's see if I can" trips through the smali code, I did manage to force Rosie to behave as in Sense 2.1, no caroussel, screens sliding to the side, and wallpaper scrolling. It then immediately crashed. :P

I stopped working on that because it was way to much trouble for a feature I was not really interested in, and ended up settling on he last tweak in V3.3: Disabling the wild spinning.

So, thers's the background for that particular tweak.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Let me rephrase my statement. There is as of now, to the best of my knowledge, no publicly available method to enable wallpaper scrolling in Sense 3.5.

Disclaimer : This statement does not exclude the possibility that a nefarious developer, who goes by the name Lowveld, may be secretly plotting to enable this feature, in his top-secret laboratory (or dungeon, for that matter ...haven't figured that one out yet!) located somewhere deep in the heart of Portugal.

Stay tuned for more updates and security advisory.

:D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
Thanks, it sounds easy enough, I was in that menu before, and pressed disk drive but did not unmarked the other "ask when plugged in" ...will try it out later mate!

Did see the other things you have written, I am using ´Launcher Pro, so maybe thats why its not working...will follow this thread for a solution! :)
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Already flashed! Two times since so far! :)

USB connection is working great here. No problem with the SDcard mount through USB.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
did u flash the attachment from post # 1814?

if yes did u wipe delvik cache?

it worked perfectly fine for me!!

look @ the attachment!!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I don't have any problem with it, and I've never had any problem with that zip file in the past. Why do you think it didn't work for me?
[HTC Desire S] dabado:
I'm on Rosie, it connected yesterday without the work around but it has previously needed it every time since I discovered the issue. Although I have since done a full wipe on both phone and sd card with a fresh install of endy so it may happen next time I connect usb but maybe not lol
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
did u flash it over 3.3 or 3.1 base?try flashing over 3.1 base release ...i flashed it over 3.1 it worked for me and my bro!!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I don't think you're following what @fbcyborg is saying.

He does not have a problem with the mod. He is already using the .zip successfully, so he doesn't need to have it "fixed" :p

I don't know what else is going on between you two? Lost in translation somewhere? :confused::confused:

:D:D:D

EDIT : I know you're only trying to help him for the last two pages @vinprivag, but what you don't realize is that he doesn't need help, and isn't asking for it!! I hope this is clear to you now. :)
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks for helping me to explain how the things are! :D

LOL
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Omg, If that ever happens I will worship you :D

Recently I decided to just play around with the original sense 2.1 ROM. (As I only had my Desire on stock ROM for 3 days :D)

We all complain about the laggy 3D launcher, so we use the 2D scroll... but why not just full 2D?? :D

It was a brilliant experience. I really do prefer the old Sense 2D screen switching. Sense 2.1 is also much faster than newer versions

However,I like the functionality of 3.5 ;)

So if this is incorporated this will be awesome !

[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Oh! Right! Only 6-7 months since I'd given up to use Sense with it's stuff and - already forgotten the main of them.. :) Thanks!

Strange. Firstly because of scrolling wallpapers on Sense 3.0.. May be I'm wrong, but it seems I've seen Sense 3.5 on HTC Rhyme with scrollable wallpapers as well. But still... At least I'll stop wasting time while looking for the setting :) Thanks again. :)

Of course, it helped. I was (and still am, actually) on Desire. Couple days ago bought Desire S and before I start to sell my Desire, I'm trying to find the best available custom ROM for Desire S. I think you'll see me often in "these lands" now... :)

Hi.

I'm trying to flash this rom.

I'm using revolutionary cwm 4.0.1.4

Any tip?

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks mate. I was just informing that I'll add a small addon to Reaper, not a full upgrade, that's what I meant.

The bit about "high hopes" was because sometimes I say these things, log back an hour later and there are several posts predicting I'll release Android 5.0 or something like that. :)

Hi Lowveld, this has been annoying me for a while now been hoping for a fix or workaround if only I'd known it was as simple as unchecking a box!

To answer your questions I first noticed it after restoring a nandroid after trying an ics Rom.

And yes I use launcher pro rather than sense launcher.

Hope this helps

[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Hi!

I've noticed a strange issue with the 3G data connection.

I don't know if it is a ROM related issue, because it did happen even with Hyperion, but here's what happens to me:

I usually don't keep the Settings->Wireless and Network->Mobile Networks->Connection Always active ON, but it happens that if I am not at home for a whole day, I keep the 3G data connection ON, for all the time.

I've noticed that, sometime, when the phone is in the standby mode (screen off) the 3G data connection gets lost and it reactivates after few seconds once I've switched on the screen with power button.

This is very annoying because I don't receive e-mail notifications just in case I receive one, when it is not connected, even if the signal strength is good.

Is there some setting that should be done?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
it might be the automatic sleep thing-there is a option in settings->power...try disabling it and check then!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Well, I've seen that actually, but I don't really understand what that option is for. It is set to Automatic now.

What does it happen if I set it to never?

I guess that the screen wouldn't never switch off that way. Isn't it? If so, I think it doesn't have anything to do with the issue I've reported in my previous post, and Ii don't want the screen to be switched on forever.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
It has nothing to do with screen off. And if you're network is disconnected after the time setting in that menu, its probably the cause

Try turning it off, It's save. I have it turned off :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I have automatic sleep switched to 'never' and mobile web always on.

Haven't noticed significant drop in batt life, plus I never have any problems with push mail, im, web radio etc.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Now I've set it to never too! Let's see what happens.

As for the battery consumption, I have seen that the 3G connection sucks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've done the test. Unfortunately it didn't work!

I left my Desire S on the table with data connection active and when I woke up the phone with the power button, I saw that the icon with the two arrows and the 3G symbol was not shown. It suddenly came visible after two/three seconds.

So it seems that after a certain amount of time the data connection goes off unconditionally.

There is some other cause then.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hmmm... never had that issue on ANY ROM I've tried.

Did you change some setting?
