Yep, worked it out, not much changes apartfrom unifying them :)

I can confirm 3.1 add ons DOES WORK on 2.2, it upgrades it to 3.1++

I guess base 3.0 is just 2.2 with hd playback fixed? Please confirm!

:D

But I removed it, and back to 2.2 anyway :)

Great job lowveld

Ok, the bit about the directory not being empty pointed me to the issue. Thanks!

The downanimation being that way I knew about. That's because I'm reusing the bootanimation as down, because the authors didn't include dedicated ones. Apparently android doesn't scale them, but there's nothing I can do.

I'll look into the fonts issue.

Cheers

fix for addons

Ok guys,

The addons zip I uploaded add a permissions issue. I re-uploaded the package and updated the posts with the new link and md5sum.

Those who come on board as of now won't have the issue. For those that already downloaded the original packages, flash this:

View attachment Endymion_V3.1_fix_addons.zip

Again, if you are just now downloading and installing, there's no need for the patch. This is only for people already running V3.1, to avoid having them download the thing all over again.

Cheers, and sorry for the trouble.

Just flashed (long day at work in December XD) it work sooo good.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
Sorry I've been out for so long. Tried too many flavors to know the difference in the Endymion distros. But I have a few comments:

- starting with v2.0, incremental version numbers gave poorer battery performance

- functionality hasn't really improved though the number of end-user "tweakable" elements have

- bloatware hasn't been added but the ROM manages to "bloat" with each reincarnation

I started out with the Virtuous ROMs. Good & really stable. Pretty large too. I came on board Endymion because of its virtues of performance & smoothness. Why not keep it that way. I'm beginning to consider jumping ship to Hyperion. I might be a lone voice in the dark but I strongly suspect you're getting carried away by the urge to mod, theme & introduce tweaks. Not really necessary in some instances.

Set yourself apart from the crowd ...

PS: Making a separate flashable add-on zip was real cool. Ingenious (expected no less from a dev of your caliber).

2.2

Thanks , Olyloh ! :)

I've been on 2.2 since long, was confused / lazy :D about upgrading to 3.0 / 3.1.

Think i'll stick with 2.2 :cool:

& Thank you for all the hard work , Lowveld !
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hi there,

Thanks for the input, I always welcome constructive criticism. But I do have some comments/points I should make clear.

- The only thing capable of causing poorer battery performance on latter versions is the V2 kernel. In my opinion, it's not significant, and well worth the stability for a small percentage of users. Nevertheless, you can allways flash the V1.2 kernel, which is posted on the kernel thread.

- Since V2.1 the core functionality is more or less locked, mainly because the base is rock solid. Everything works, I can't think of more core functionality to add, but I welcome suggestions (I may not have the know how to implement them, off course).

- The rom is not "bloated". I did not remove some apps from the base rom, mainly because someone always ends up complaining they would use them. As it is now, Endy as all the apps from the runnymede RUU, plus the family and quicklaunch apps from Bliss. You may consider the extra apps I added on the /data partition as bloatware, but you can allways delete them before flashing. This is the common denominator: if you know what you're doing, remove what you don't want, if you are new to android, you end up with some apps pre-installed that you may find useful, and use as starting point for your own explorations on the android market.

As for "performance and smoothness", I don't get what you're saying. Endy V3.1 performe as well, if not better, than previous incarnations. If someone notes lack of performance, please report it here, bacause I haven't noticed any complaints.

And I do feel the urge to "mod and tweak". It's not necessary for some, but I think they are improvements, and as I said before, there's nothing much to improve in Endy (just look at all the people still hanging on to V2.2). Plus, with the current setup, you don't need to use them if you don't want. Hell, you don't even need to flash them. It's all about choice, and you can choose to keep it as simple as stock, or turn on all the bells and whistles, with no impact to performance or stability. How many roms do you know that achieve this?

And this my friend, is what in my humble opinion sets me apart from the crowd.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I gotta say lowveld, this Rom is by far the best one I've ever used!

It's fast, beautiful (icehd skin) and the only issues I have I'm pretty sure I caused myself. Thank you so much and keep it up!

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
For the record, I'm on (and have decided to stick to) Endy 2.2 too (though I might for the briefest of whiles try Hyperion). Until ....

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Thanks for appreciating the criticism. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking (stuck on) Endymion for a reason.

- No bloatware (what I was referring to is the larger zip file size. You have to be on a connection as slow and erratic as mine to appreciate the pain it takes to download a file even a few MB in size)

- There is no compromise in performance nor functionality. What I meant is a lack in significant improvement in newer iterations

- The battery issue is subjective at any rate and may vary with use, installed apps, individual device as well as a myriad of variables (not to mention the physical battery). I really shouldn't have mentioned it. For what it's worth, I'll flash v1.2 kernel as suggested (could I try the Hyperion kernel?).

And I love your work. I really do.
[HTC Desire S] MENNENN:
I confirm. I also have strange characters.
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Lowveld, I couldn't agree more! The Rom is fantastic. But one tiny little thing would make it perfect for me. Enabled VOIP over 3G :)

Thanks for all the work you put into this ROM, KERNEL .. etc etc

Good Morning,

Great rom, i have only one problem with the notification after installation of the ICEHD theme in the control center... here below a screen shot..

I can't see what the phone download...

Can anyone help me?

[HTC Desire S] Bocciolo:
I was wondering...i have flashed both base and addons zip and i would like to go back and have only the base installed.

To do that i just need to flash over the base zip file without any wipe??
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No. It's as simple as uninstalling the ControlCenter app (like you uninstall anyother app), and if you want to, delete the Endymion folder on the sdcard. You're done.

Cheers

--- edit ---

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The addons have no impact on the base rom, either on /data or /system. There is a temp folder on /data that is only used when you apply a theme, and is cleared on the next reboot. Apart from that, it's completelly separated, has no impact on performance, and no impact on system/data memory.
[HTC Desire S] Bocciolo:
Ok ok now i get it. It is more easy of what i was thinking!

Just installed V 3.1, still setting up, always prefer a fresh install. Will report back soon. Thank you for the update. :)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Just installed the 3.1 Version, very nice, clean and fast. Everything works fine : Wi-Fi, Mobile networks, BT, camera, etc, no issues at all for me.

I also noticed a better signal if you switch your phone's gsm band to : GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL).

IMHO this Rom is faster compared to Runny v4 from RCmix3D, both are also rock solid.

Very very nice, keep up the good work!

I was wondering, where can i see the status of the Supercharged V6 Ram script? it was mentioned in the first page that this ROM has it and want to check if it's there and running.
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
I have a problem with this 3.1++:

Ive been using 3.0 for a while now and its been just great!

Now i flashed 3.1 base + addon with cache and dalvik flash->

Control center only informs that "it has been granted superuser rights" like 4 times in a row when trying to change theme

Not informing that "theme is valid after reboot" or something like that.

But after reboot theme is changed except i think rosie.apk hasnt changed at all

Also i get something like "oc/uv beater has not been granted superuser rights" sometimes... tried uninstalling and clearing superuser and installed again but no change.

Also ive been trying flashing addon_fix.zip, or doing a full wipe fresh install but still these same problems occur.

I really love 3.0 and imo its the best rom ive used ever!!!

But i would just want to have these addons to sdcard and thats why ive been trying to flash 3.1.

Peace!
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
Same Problem here. Control Center giving a message like : Done! would be great.

Problem with OC/UV you can solve by opening the Beater itself and then granting the rights i think.
[HTC Desire S] Ivyn87:
Good Morning..

I have another problem with this great rom...

When i press the power botton e go to "Power off" my HTC desire S don't shut down but restart... why?

Any solution for this and the problem in this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20260680&postcount=1328)??

Regard Ivan
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
There's no easy way of checking if the Supercharger is running, apart from running a shell and checking the memory manager settings, if you know what you're doing. That being said, I'm planning to add the capability of setting alternative profiles through Control Center, and then you'll definitely will be able to see the difference.

Sorry I removed the notifications. It's an easy alteration for me, so I'll update the Control Center apk and post it here. As for the rosie, you're right, it's not being changed. I left it like that because when you apply the appropriate skins, the rosie gets themed just like the "dedicated" ones from the themes and the look is consistent. But I just now realized that with GoldRush that isn't so, and I'll have to fix it. That will have to wait for next version though.

Just checked and "Power off" is working fine for me. For reference, I'm using IceHD theme.

The other problem you mentioned (sorry I didn't your post sooner) is theme related. Basically all inverted themes (black dropdown) suffer from something like this. I'm sorry but I didn't do the themes myself, and even the author gave up on fixing it...

Cheers

What about this bug? Any solution?
[HTC Desire S] rafaelwo:
Small offtopic maybe but do you also have problems with call volume using handset? I know that I am writing the same thing again and again but I really cannot find any way to make my DS louder. It is basically ok when I am in an office room but outside I can barely hear anything.
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Thanks lowveld for a quick response.

So clearing my things:

Im currently stickin with v3.0->

I have made some customizations inside data\endymion\honeyhd directory->

Added some custom icons to rosie.apk (example rosie dockbar icons), systemui.apk, settings.apk, framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk

After applying this honeyHD theme from controlcenter, all these things rocks like a charm, and every icon ive replaced including rosie dockbar is changed like i wanted

I copied this honeyHD directory from my v3.0.zip where i made these changes to 3.1_addon.zip cuz i wanted to have these with me to new version.

So after flashing 3.1 + addons.zip i booted and applied again honeyHD theme from controlcenter and noticed that as you said rosie.apk is not changed.

Also icons that i replaced inside com.htc.resources.apk is not showing.

I was just wondering what did you do differently in 3.1++ except move these addons to sdcard?

Im such a theme freak and want everything to look just the way i want, thats why im bothering you.

:) sorry.

bluetooth car-kit quality issue

Fantastic ROM, thanks (I'm using V2.2 currently). The only issue i have is the pure sound quality with my Nokia bluetooth car-kit. Using the previous ROM (MIUI) the sound was clear and loud. Since i use Endymion (V2.2), sound is noisy, totally crap. Has anyone else experienced such problem regarding bluetooth car-kits? Can it be a solution to upgrade to V3.1 (i.e. has anything changed around bluetooth in the new version)?

I haven't change RADIO.

Thanks for this ROM and for (hopefully) the answers.

Sick Rom! All works perfectly and the control center is awesome!

[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Actually I don't want the Bliss launcher, nor the 3.5 launcher... Looking for the 3.0 one...
[HTC Desire S] lokiloki:
Actually I have asked for this a few pages back, when Endy v3.1 was just announced. Apparently it's not possible since Lowveld said some stored files cannot be decoded.. I'm not sure but my guess would be that it's a RCMix3D thing so there's nothing we could do about it

But that aside, I tried the Virtuous Affinity ROM recently and finally noticed what's wrong with my perception of the navbar style. I took some snapshots and put together the differences between their navbar and the one in Endy's (all being Sense 3.5 ROMs)

From top to bottom: (T) Virtuous Affinity, (M) Endy v3.1 without labels, (B) Endy v3.1 default

Although it's just a cosmetics thing, the Affinity navbar looks more balanced, IMO because the the icons without labels are more centered

Hopefully something could be done for that :)

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Ah k tnx for the info!

The affinity bar looks much nicer indeed! Too bad it can't b changed though, really not liking the " blown up bubble" of 3.5

Ok guys,

This should solve people having problems with certain symbols not showing up correctly:

Ok. The command center is acting up, does not respond to when trying to make changes, after several taps the the change is registered and it still does not show the message about the change being valid after reboot. My down animation has also been somehow changed to the quietly rooted boot animation & the size is all wrong too. :confused:

I am also experiencing very high battery drain with the version, idling at about 40mA, calibration done, though I am a victim of the perpetual calibration problem where when charging the phone show 100% 4200mV but if you reboot, the percentage drops and carries on charging. This has only happened since the switch to hyperion & now for a while endymion, with flashing between the two back and forth. The drain is with this version only.

As mentioned in my earlier post, my down animation was changed mysteriously by the control center, thought of changing it manually but the permissions for both the boot and down animations have weird permissions, shouldn't they be rw-r-r, you can see in the screen shot the permissions are r-xrwxr-x and rwxrwxrwx.

Now I don't know if I change manually do I change it to match the current erroneous permissions or do the permissions have any significance due to the control center being added.

Lowveld please advise about the control center problem mentioned earlier, it's laggy and unresponsive and there are no notification popups on certain boot animation & font & theme application.
