hopeful mid-day bump?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
No idea, my tts works on cm

7.1. Google Bev talks to me all the time. Does everything else work? Are there any other functional lapses?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pnyboy27:
Google Bev? My maps seem to work just fine. And when I do regular voice commands, they work. My google translate also works just fine too. I'm not sure what else uses the tts, but from the voice assistants, they don't work. I've tried iris, speaktoit, and even just tried the testing thing under the settings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
Do you have eSpeak TTS installed? This is the one that most voice assistants use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pnyboy27:
I have that, ivona, and even svox. None of them work unfortunately.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pnyboy27:
Bump
[G2 and Desire Z General] rudyych:
I installed the eSpeak TTS and found that the software does not work in my hTC Desire Z with CM7.2 ROM. However, both SVOX and PICO TTS work fine on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
Can this finally mean the 5 year old Google *bug* is solved?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-now-official/

"Refreshed people app with social network integration, status updates and hi-res images"

No more crappy resolution contact images for Google contacts? I can't wait to see incoming call photo to be displayed with proper pixel resolution.

Could someone check this on ICS? Maybe the contact image resolution specs are in the SDK?
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
~220 views but found the answer myself:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html

"Large photos

Android now supports high resolution photos for contacts. Now, when you push a photo into a contact record, the system processes it into both a 96x96 thumbnail (as it has previously) and a 256x256 "display photo" that's stored in a new file-based photo store (the exact dimensions that the system chooses may vary in the future). You can add a large photo to a contact by putting a large photo in the usual PHOTO column of a data row, which the system will then process into the appropriate thumbnail and display photo records"
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
Sweet, good find.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
If you use facebook, Sync your contacts with Facebook For HTC Sense and you'll get high res display pictures.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
finally... about freaking time Google...
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
i don't care about facebook, it's one of the first bloats i remove...
[HTC Sensation] Dmitry N:
Guys,

My Sensation XE will be arriving soon, so, no experience with Android yet.

The question is does HTC Sync actually sync high-res pictures with Outlook?
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
Exchange actually, but looks like it yes.
[HTC Sensation] Dmitry N:
Pardon? :)
[HTC Sensation] Ozgurce:
But how? I can't make it in contacts app. Even if I select high quality photo its pixalated in contacts list or call screen. Am I missing something here?
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
I always use Outlook to sync my contacts! On GB Roms they look fine but on ICS the pictures totaly blury and full of pixels.

EDIT: Just have tested it if htey are better when i make a new contact and add a new Picture, but no the photo is totaly blury and looks very very bad!
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
Many so called high res photos look like **** when you crop out a persons face btw. So don't crop too much.
[Thunderbolt General] unctucker:
I know I know...... Well I just rooted using Revolutionary and during the process I was following I noticed that it never let me say yes to clockwork recovery. I have root access I did check that. Now I downloaded the Rom manager and it says I need to flash the clockwork to flash a rom. Should I flash it there or unroot with Revolutionary and try rooting again?
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
hello and welcome. i would engage you in a different language, but considering you typed in english, i will stick with english. moving a long... we are a very family oriented community and greatly enjoy helping new comers find their way around and answer questions they may have. you are more then welcome to ask a question whenever you like and even if it's something that may seem silly... don't worry, it is always our pleasure to help.

now, to get right to it. you asked about the installation of clockworkmod recovery. excellent! to answer your question, you can indeed install it through rom manager. you will find rom manager to be most helpful to you. a top choice application! so that being said, it is not necessary to repeat your previous steps.

I hope you found this response enlightening and of course, helpful as I like to say. feel free to ask a question again(soon!)

[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Your laying on the scarasm pretty thick, LOL. You can flash a custom CWM in hboot, Google is your friend it is also in development section. If you didn't do about a week of reading and research before you did this better catch on on reading now we like to answer harder questions not the same just rooted ones each day. Ones that can be searched for. I just rooted Droid inc and Droid inc 2 in last two days and both require different older methods with downgrades before root and s-off and I didnt ask for any help. Hell the ADB method for thunderbolt needed a downgrade and upgrade....Search, read, read, and read again before you do.

There is thread for CWM to flash in hboot.

If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
[Thunderbolt General] fadepoint89:
To put it simply... Yes just flash it through rom manager. It will ask for suoeruser access rights. Just hit allow and then let it do its thing.
[Thunderbolt General] thepolishguy:
In regards to this post - there are others of us here that actually do like helping out new people. I for one don't care how many time "the new guy" asks the same old question. The reason I feel that way is bc I also have questions that need answering.

So try not to be discouraged by the way some people respond to you. It can be disheartening - but there are some great and helpful people on XDA.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Oh trust me I still run into my brick walls around here, but to answer the same I got this phone how do I root it, everyday would be like writing up a nice q&a for new people to follow. Wait there is one and no one follows it. I will leave those questions up to you, and i did help him by showing him how to flash recovery in hboot which is way more educational than using Rom manager. I was new here too not long ago less than a few months but you have to read, jump in, I read for a month about rooting, radios, flashing, what could happen before I rooted....people who just root and come expecting someone to show them how to do everything.....yea you can keep that.

[Thunderbolt General] unctucker:
Thanks for all your information no matter how many times you guys have to answer them. I have read up on rooting long before I did root. I was one of those people that waited patiently for HTC or Big Red to improve these devices. To my misery and 3 phones latter I decided to root. Now for my next question if you guys don't mind..... Lol. Once I flash a rom from rom manager or from a downloaded, is it just that simple to flash another rom or are there certain steps? One more.... How do I go back to my original setup if I wanted to? Again thank you for all of your help.

The thread police are out in full force again. Keeping asking questions. Keep posting new threads if you have to. These ball breaking jaggs are just as guilty but feel like they are of some significant importance here because in real life they are invisible to the world. It's pretty sad when you think about it.

[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Do me a favor and read every one of my posts. It's not exactly a procession of mindless, impulsive questions that are repeats of something posted 25 times before. In fact, the posts that are repetitive are the posts that answer the SAME questions over and over again! I think we're all entitled to point out stupid and lazy when we see it, as well as the FACT searching the threads before posting is a RULE (not optional). When you're too stupid or too lazy or too self-important to follow rules, expect the rudeness you get. My thread is the PERFECT place for "stupid" questions and it's monitored by myself and a few others quite regularly. If you post a question there, it gets answered FAST and politely. I'm not doing this as a favor to myself. I'm doing it as a favor to the community. Maybe you should try contributing something more than encouragement of stupid.
[Thunderbolt General] ccrazythunder:
However you feel justifying berating someone from the comfort and security behind your keyboard. The rules also say to respect other members of the community but you ignore the rules that you don't feel apply to you. Your hypocritical behavior is hilarious. You could easily answer (or not answer) a question that you feel is redundant without hammering the crap out of someone who is most likely new and not try and make them feel like an idiot for asking.

You can hammer away at me all you want because I know the source of the comments are from a person who is of no significance to me. But there are other new members of the forums who might feel slighted by your behavior and not feel comfortable interacting on the forums after they have been slammed by a self righteous jerk who has to build himself up in his alternative virtual world because the real world is too real for him.

I'm sure you will have an idiotic response to this because you can't go on without having the last word and can't just let it go. Regardless, after the response I'm sure you will have, I will not respond to show that a person can move on and not have to continue to respond to the idiotic rants of a self absorbed person living behind a keyboard just so they can have the last word.

I encourage all new persons to the forum to feel free to continue to ask questions and participate while ignoring those that feel they have to make you feel dumb.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
What I don't understand is people like you encourage new people to break the rules, clutter the threads or start unnecessary ones while you yourself do not bother to try to help these people either. Look at my posts and tell me I don't try to help people with REAL problems I have not seen posted.....please point out I am being a jerk to every new person that comes on. Read up and you need to step up to help these new people questions don't leave it up to everyone else to answer if you are telling them to keep asking the same questions over and over.

Hi fellow xda members,

I am constantly trying to get the best frequency spread from my kernel, but often wish I could manipulate the data, hide deep sleep or >1 second freq(s) so I can look at the percentages of the active ones. I would e-mail this to Mr/Ms cpu-spy but thought id ask here first. Any idea how I could do this, preferably without having to export data to computer!
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
I just got this from somewhere on Droid forums. It is the Ice cream

sandwich dump. Which is what I'm working on now. And to say, coming along nicely. It booted, just have to edit build.prop and drivers and boom. Working 4.0 for fascinates. I can't even wait. Theirs new live wallpapers!!! bracket, dust, water, ocean, and moon night. All look nice. The ocean is a remix of the original ocean waves live wallpaper, water is so cool.

You'll all see it in my next release of Runnymede S4
[Fascinate General] davwman:
Wow! this is good news. I cant believe the new nexus is so closely related. Shows that the hummingbird is still a really good processor.

[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
Yes MTD. Its the only one that would run it without having market problems. Like the app is incompatible with this device error.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
great news...cant wait to see this!
[Fascinate General] japin:
This is awesome news. I am super excited I wanna see screenshots.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
Great news everybody,

First, i've deodexed all the apps from ICS. AND THEY STILL WORK!

Second, wifi, bluetooth, camera, GPS!!!, Graphic, Multitouch drivers all work.

It scores 870-1000 In quadrant (Pretty good for a port)

And 400-800 in Antutu benchmark (Ill make up for this)

Now for the bad,

Its just a tad (Not that noticeable, but still there) laggy-ness. But thats ok, that will soon change.

Icons quality look really bad (again will change) and No ICS Launcher (because first, it wasn't signed in the first place, and wasn't zipaligned at all, but i'll make up for this)
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
Oh as well, systemUI.apk wasn't signed again.

And if anyone wants to test (theirs a small chance that it will be in private beta tonight) just PM Me and ill send you a link.

you are awsome! let me know if there is any way i can help you in this process.

[Fascinate General] jt1134:
That doesn't make any sense dude.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
What?

I used that system dump to decompile every single inch of the .apk's and compiled the same apps using the files that were decompiled from the original .apk's and made my own version that works for version 10 sdk.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
I know. But I tried BML, And it caused to many glitches (glitch haha, really nice kernel by the way) MTD Was the only one that would work, and have wifi, bluetooth, etc. etc.

And The BML Version locked up my phone and then I Had to odin it back.
[Fascinate General] Enyo.:
I Said I Know it doesn't make sense. But thats what the issues when I Used BML.
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
Might be willing to test this for you if I knew where the dump came from, how the modem works, and had some screens and such of it running.

I'm all for testing stuff but last thing I want is to brick up my phone, even if it's for ICS.

Please don't go all EC09 leak on us too, we have faith that you're legit. I just would like to see some screens.

I just finished formatting my phone back to BML too...

E/SurfaceTexture( 76): [com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher2.Launcher] dequeueBuffer: SurfaceComposer::createGraphicBuffer failed
E/SurfaceTextureClient( 212): dequeueBuffer failed (Invalid argument)

Obviously the surfaceflinger unable to alloc graphic buffer because gralloc refuse to do so, which I suspect caused by libgralloc incompatibility (because of the "Invalid argument" error throwed by gralloc). But the gralloc itself able to load so should no major API change.

So what am I missing? Anyone can help maybe?

[Fascinate General] Jazz848:
It does indeed share the SGX540, but sadly we're far from comparing apples to apples here. In the Galaxy Nexus, it's integrated onto a different SoC, Texas Instruments' OMAP 4460 which, among other things, is A9-based while our Hummingbird is A8. Still ARM, but as you can see here... http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...avigationId=12843&templateId=6123#chipDiagram

... we're looking at a very different SoC and associated set of features here. Methinks that rolling up of sleeves will be necessary.
[Fascinate General] Jazz848:
GPU is tied to bus speed, which is a limiting factor in many ways. Going by the clock + voltage chart in the Glitch thread, we see that even with the CPU cranked to a likely-unstable 1700MHz (and a battery gulping 1.5v), the GPU "only" reaches 243Mhz due to how it's tied to bus clock. Think of it (loosely) as sorta like trying to OC an old multiplier-locked Pentium 4 via FSB and hitting an FSB ceiling when the CPU still has plenty of headroom. To further stress the point about dissimilar SoCs, that OMAP 4460 has the SGX540 clocked at 384Mhz while the CPU runs at 1200Mhz. The bus relationship is completely different, so our Fassies are VERY unlikely to see those GPU clocks.

If so that would be great. Or do we wait till a nexus galaxy leaked Rom us released. Till I get the 2 things I need private beta testing will start.

I also need xbin and usr folder as well to fix the flickering of the screen. Then private beta testing will start.
