Best rom ever for my DHD. This rom is very smooth, no bug since I've flashed it ^^ Thanks very much !!
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
And it's getting ready to get even better! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
cracking rom rom guys very easy to customise and i love the ota app brilliant addition thankyou.
[Desire HD Android Development] radixon:
Sounds promising. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] swolfman:
i keep getting FC from the OV application

Any idea ?

[ i did full wipe before installing]
[Desire HD Android Development] wakers:
Curious to try this rom but haven't tried anything proper CM based for a while, bit of a deal breaker for me though can you text groups i'm sure you never used to be able too...

Without using a 3rd party app...

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] globalm:
I have just started to try this ROM and it is the first without SENSE I have tried for a long time! I find it very good indeed. It is technically excellent with no FCs or other nastiness in sight. It is also visually stunning with many of the effects getting close to SENSE and the aesthetics are marvellous. I do miss some of the SENSE bits and pieces such as the HTC weather clock and the pictorial contacts app but I will proably find equivalents as I continue to investigate.

Thanks for a really lovely and effective piece of work.
[Desire HD Android Development] Turkawa:
well..

This rom is the best thing that happened to my phone lately :)

I am a believer..
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
you do or do not want to text groups??

I can send a text to several ppl at a time..
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
That's what we like to hear! Tell a friend! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
There are a ton of sense style clocks out there, like Fancy Widgets, to help ease the transition... ;) Glad you like it!
[Desire HD Android Development] wakers:
@ashies7

I organise events and have groups of 20-30 people to text you never used to be able to text groups with cm it would take me forever to keep selecting 20-30 people
[Desire HD Android Development] ScaGin:
@wakers

Try Groupy from the Market. It may do what you want.

Absolution tools is now ModTools. Please remove AbsoTools via root explorer, etc. and flash this in recovery. Will be away from my PC for most of the day, so I will update OP as soon as possible. Enjoy! And thanks flappjaxxx!

http://db.tt/gC4VCxOG
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
It will be cooked in to next release btw. Lol
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
OK the following is the fixed version of ModTools v1.4.6. This installer will remove obsolete versions of AbsolutionTools.

Download it Here
[Desire HD Android Development] danalive:
Do we have any idea as to the changelog for the next release, or are we too far away from it? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
We never know when it will happen, when there is a big enough change to cm, we shall see... :) this rom is still a babyx and is exploding, right now it's very stable, fast, and amazing. It would such to just throw soomething together in the name if a release, that wasn't those things.... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
Releases tend to change from what the original thought is so to publish a changelog before release wouldn't be wise. When an update is released, you will see the changes, not before. Plus, like Ashies said, this ROM is already solid and depends on where nightlies go to decide on updates.

Thank you for running/considering Absolution.
[Desire HD Android Development] danalive:
Thanks for the response, guys. Its been a great ROM thus far, itching to see what you come up with next. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
We are too. Lol
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
There will be a small update, probably this week, with	ModTools built in, and likely a few other little changes... Stay tuned.. Good things are coming!
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Backed up my current ROM and waiting for the next release :D Thanks so much for this.
[Desire HD Android Development] studacris:
Damn, won't be long til we have a ROM for every phone on xda...

And I am still with the og collective device

Captivate is running great, I just wanna play with the test of teh team!
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Its almost upgrade time Studa! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Lincoln357:
So,coming from RCMix3D,can I back it up with Titanium Pro,wipe and install zip from sd card?
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Yessir. Just don't restore any system data, and you are golden
[Desire HD Android Development] pside15:
Not sure if this has been posted yet but when I put the Market icon on my home-screen it changes back to the green icon instead of the orange one. This is the only icon that does this. Not a big deal really but figured I would post it anyway.

Great ROM though.
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
did you update the market? or did it auto update? if so, it changed because the icon changed..
[Desire HD Android Development] pside15:
You know, I think I did update it on accident. Oh well, no biggie.

It was weird though because the the icon stayed orange in the app drawer at first but was green on my home-screen. Now it is green in both places.
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
sounds about right. mine did the same. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
The Advent theme is looking real nice. A couple of textures and notification bar minicons are still in the basic (orange) colours, but it's almost complete!
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:

[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
Thanks chief!

Are you guys recommending a wipe between versions?
[Desire HD Android Development] eliashadow:
Always recommended but not necessary in this version as i can see..;)
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Always! ;) Front to back! :p
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
Excellent job yet again my friend!!
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Great update! Sadly it still doesn't make my inspire cook me breakfast...but its still a great update!

I got your 10 char right here
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
You did get a little flappjaxxx... ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] killersloth:
Soon...

I'm working on a script for that :p
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Niiiiiice lol

I got your 10 char right here
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
It was only a matter of time... ;) lol
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Brother, can I use your UV script with this?
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
They are built into the ModTools app... You certainly can!
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Alright! :D Finished downloading, now flashing! :) Thanks so much sir!
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Enjoy! Certainly welcome!
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Seems even smoother. Great update, and good to see this one continuing.

Regards and thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] mwilky:
Can't wait to get home and flash this :D

Sent from my blackICE Desire HD...
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
All fine and dandy thank you
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Done setting up my phone :) Really fast! This is my first CM based ROM and I like it, specially the orange theme. Gonna calibrate the battery first before I flash that Pumpkin King Theme :D
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
Glad you are enjoying it! Pumpkin King is killer too!
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Oh, one last thing, is there a way to merge the contacts? I have a lot of duplicates and I managed to merge them in MIUI. Is there a similar option in CM based ROMS?
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
I just keep my gmail account up to date with contacts, and only show my google contacts.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
+1 on that

I got your 10 char right here
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
That's fantastic!! I'm always too tired to cook any breakfast in the morning. Would be a great thing. Oh, and can you make a script to get it to drive me to work and back every day? Those would make great times to take a nap. :p
[Desire HD Android Development] DJ SNap:
Hi,

I don't have vibration when message comes. How to change it? I set in setting vibrations to always but still - there is no vibrations. When someone is calling it's vibrating.
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
It is in your notifications settings in the messaging app. Check the Q&A too. Good resource, and a better place for these kind of questions. ;) Enjoy the ROM!
[Desire HD Android Development] DJ SNap:
Thanks and sorry. I forgot about your Q&A thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
No worries! Did that fix it for you?

Yes, very well said.

Real **** nunhugger.
[Desire HD Android Development] HTCinspiration:
Now hopefully people will take that quote to heart & stop being so dramatic about a small icon that's a slightly different shade of blue than the rest or something rediculous 10 minutes after the ROM is released. I do commend the dev's for the patience u all show. Dunno if I could be quite so patient..
[Desire HD Android Development] NunHugger:
Those are some high hopes. I have already received nit picky requests since posting the request. I know users want perfection...and we aim for it, just some things get overlooked and some things are known but deemed minor. Maybe I am whining, just gets old.

Installed Pumpkin

Hi i installed Pumpkin on my HTC Desire HD of the Absolution rom.

I can not see the wifi icon,the sattelite icon on my upper notification bar.

And i can not sync my HTC Desire HD with HTC Sync....?

It shows only the usb debug mod of data storage.

Please what did i do wrong...??????

Its a super rom and the pumpkin also....
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Nothing about battery consumption?

MIUI us fantastic for battery consumption, idem for Bindroid. And this rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
...has excellent battery drain with either TalonAce or LordmodUE kernels.
[Desire HD Android Development] rasroygbiv:
You will not be able to use HTC sync with this ROM. That only works with sense based roms. As far as the theme goes, did you have a theme chooser theme installed? If so, you have to set it back to system before you flash pumpkin king.
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
What is better?

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Lordmod is the Daddy of kernels.

[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
Very strange. Ras was correct, no HTC sync on non sense roms.

As far as p.k. never hears ofbthat happeneing. The wifi icon isn't there at all??? (Its a circle, and the satellite is orange,) have you used GPS to where it would need to show up? ?? It's just very strange that your missing that. We will get you lined up though ::)
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Sin: just installed, it do not find my wireless network which, among other things, works fine with other Rom and I was always connected. Does not see it. Even though I by hand (SSID etc) tells me "out of range". Pity really because I like very this rom. I tried that with kernel LordMod. Any solution?
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
flash a different kernel maybe?? its all working well for everyone on the team, and this is the first time i'm recalling hearing this error.
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Coul be a RIL problem? I don't flashed any ril
[Desire HD Android Development] ashies7:
could be.. check the inspire thread for the ril checker, and then grab the right one
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
The correct RIL should be included with the ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Uggh you beat me to it haha

I got your 10 char right here
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Ok.. After doing a full wipe I flashed your rom... but again wifi doesnt' work on my home wireless.

Actually, with MIUI, it work perfectly!

I'm very sorry... Absolute like me very very much but, at this point, is unusable!

I suspect that there is some setting in my Hamlet300 router not supported by Absolute. Unlike with other rom (and I have tried many) connect to my router perfectly ... like now for instance.
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
Gio FTW. Lol
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
Just curious. Have you tried CM7 and got it to work with your wifi?
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Yes... it work fine.. but I like very much Absolution :(

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

the last try will be:

- flash LordModUE BFS kernel (with killersloth UV script)

I hope really that my DHD will recognize my Hamlet wifi router :(

Do you think about?
[Desire HD Android Development] gio22:
What RIL/radio combo are you running?
[Desire HD Android Development] cubases:
Radio 26.13.04.19_M

Ril ... I don't know.. I think to be this included with Absolution

I can see that suggested radio for Absolute is 12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M

But this radio are made for inspire... there are any risks to flash it on desire HD??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LP_sk8er:
Just tried it and my screen looks fine. Looks like the phone on the right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] barondebxl:
You're right man I never noticed but I see what you're saying. When you pull the notification bar down its not really black it is grey. Same thing in the browser when you hit the menu button, the menu that appears has a grey background color instead of pitch black.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
Very interesting. You followed all three steps I listed above and looked at the result in a dark room?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] barondebxl:
But then again I just downloaded a plain black wallpaper ( hate to say this but like the iPhone 2 g black background) and its pitch black!!! So I guess it's a minor software issue ( or not?) I don't know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
I am not sure I follow. The pulled-down notification area is not really supposed to be black. It is grey. However I do see lines in it, in a dark room, if I turn the display brightness all the way. Something I do not see on the Sprint units.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
I love this. People will find ANYTHING to complain about, even if the phone is perfectly designed.

This phone has the clearest & most vibrant screen of any phone I have ever had. It crushes all other phones I have ever owned and makes my coworkers iPhone 4 and 4s screen look sub-par.

You can complain all you want but what do you expect to happen? T-Mobile sure as hell is not going to do anything. And getting it replaced with another one clearly isn't going to make a difference. Unless you plan on switching to Sprint (terrible idea) then I suggest you forget about it and move on to care about things that actually matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
I tested this out....downloaded that image and set brightness to 0 and opened the image in a dark room....i can see it was not pure black or a little shade but no dots or visible lines. I'm not sure if it should display completely dark colour but it's not bad for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatboy547:
followed the steps. I do not have this problem. Guess i'm one of the lucky ones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
Did you read and follow step 1 in my original post? It specifically says that blob.png is not black.

If you do not follow the steps, you are very likely to not see the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it might help if you upload the full size image

the attachment in the 1st post is too small to be of any use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
I fulled the OP's instructions and got the same (poor) results that he did. Note to others trying this: you have to do it in a dark room, otherwise you won't see it.

Very strange that Sprint's panel, at least, looks way better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aaron636r:
I have the issue as well. And im all about dark colors on my phone and notice it often. However, oh well...its not enough to return it. Love the phone and I know im usually over picky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dorksturhh:
Well the thing is its not perfectly designed, the gs2 is advertized with amoled which should be crisp and sexy and if every has that blurry screen problem then they have the right to bring it up. Better to speak than to be a lil b*tch and keep quiet :p speaking up brings awareness and therefore hopefully a fix for the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
Do you own a SGS 2 from Tmobile? Or you own a Sprint galaxy S 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
Then why even worry about it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
I have the T-Mobile version. Wife has the Sprint version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
Most people cannot, but unfortunately I can. All the time. Specially when reading text on some websites. I read a lot of documentation on my phone.

As you can see in the attachment in the original post, the Sprint version does not suffer from the poor screen. My hope is to raise awareness of the issue and have Samsung fix the problem quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheema:
The forum software does not let me post large picture attachments. But I have made one available here: http://cheema.com/blobs-comparison-large.jpg
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Are people reporting this to anyone? Tmobile, samsung?

I was just thinking. Could this be why we never got the same screen contrast app like the sprint verison and at&t version have?? That might have made it even more visible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
This phone is bright as hell. You need to turn off auto adjust screen power and auto brightness off as well. Then i saw a solar flare that's how bright it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] furyagain:
auto adjust screen power?

where can i find that setting?

i did turned off the auto brightness

there is no such setting for that in samsung galaxy S II X

and after compare them side by side,

the HTC amaze looks much better !!!!( the screen)

then the S II X

go try them yourself.

I am going to pick the amaze up tomorrow, ( tested it but can't buy it as it is not for sale until tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
In the T-Mobile gs2 there is a setting like that.

And you're crazy if you think the amaze has a better screen. Its the same screen thats on the junk sensation........

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
Interesting, because this method worked to identify the panel type of both the Sensation and MyTouch 4g. I wonder if it only works for HTC phones, or maybe they phone has to be rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Probably HTC only, since I'm rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i finally got my phone, and now i can see what's all this fuss is about...

so, as soon as i got the phone

i went into a dark room (toilet) ran screen test (from market), and tested it at the lowest zero level on screen

and yes, the lines only shows up in white, and grey, mainly because grey is mixed with white

if you use any other colour they do not show up.

also black is TRUE black, as in OLED is off, nothing like the shade shown in the pictures in page 1

i can also see some colour banding with some pictures, but it appears to be picture quality issue and not the screen, as HD picture looks great!

so back to the WHITE or Grey being tinted with lines, they are greenish/bluish somewhat expected of a SAMOLED display

now, if you turn the screen back to NORMAL power say 20%~30%, all of those lines are gone even in WHITE / Grey

you can dismiss this if you don't believe it

but for those that do know what's going on underneath the screen, this is the normal behaviour just as the older Galaxy S 1st generation including the Nexus S, also reported on SGS2 as well

and yes it does comes down to calibration, and seems like the ones from Sprint are being QA better than the rest of the lines

the workaround is simple, set the screen brightness and power manually instead of leaving it to auto, which by the way in the SGS2 is waaaaaay too dim, it feels like almost zero ~ 5%

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] v8dreaming:
I did this and I could see the green lines. That's all I got. During my normal use, I don't see anything and I've been looking. My brightness is always about 40%. So, it's not that big of a problem to me. The backlight bleed on my G2x was way more of a problem.

My friend has the At&t version and his screen is checkerboarding all over it at all times.

I said it before, I will say it again.

Let's BEG Supercurio to support this phone in his Voodoo projects. Specifically a voodoo color app to re-calibrate the screens would fix all the problems we are having.
