5.0.1 experience

I have a PVT1 with a 16GB class 10 and i've been running 5.0.1 for a few days now. This version is feeling pretty 'production ready'. In use its stable and fast and i've only encountered the usual FC's that have been listed the ROMs early days....so far!

A couple issues that i've been banging on about for some time have taken me by surprise and I dont know if this is to do in a change of scripts or the new kernel? But here they are all the same...

1. Battery metering now seems to work correctly, battery now goes to 0% every time before shutting down! So many people have said this was a hardware/battery issue so i was pleasantly surprised to see this working again.

2. Audio/video stuttering, especially whilst using the handset (loading apps/downloading etc) is about a solid as it's probably going to get. Audio does still stutter but it's now rare rather than regular!

3. Regularly used apps seem to hold in memory for longer now, but it's still a little hit and miss. But a definite improvement over previous versions.

4. Overall handset performance seems better/smoother/faster.

That's my ten pence worth for now...I'll report on anything else I notice.

Hey guys,

I have funny bug, XLOUD isn't working after I restore my SMS with MyBackup app after full wipe, restoring apps with ic_restore.zip and manually setting up everthing (without data restore). This occur a last couple times after full wipe and only stops working after I restore something with MyBackup.:confused:

If someone could upload zip for flashing XLOUD from recovery, I can't find it in addons anymore, maybe it would work that way.

My current set up is: DATA++ Hboot (I am testing if this solves freezing problems), AIO V5.0.1 A2SD, sd-ext 1024MB ext4 on 8 GB Sandisc mobile ultra class 6 card.

Edit: My freezes occur only when I receive incoming call and only then.
[Desire Android Development] bone069:
Did you enable xLoud in RCTeam Tweaks again after it seems to be disabled due to MyBackup?
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Indeed, try this, and make sure your WiFi/data connection is on.

(Incidentally, do you need to have WiFi on to activate/deactivate scripts, or are those stored?)
[Desire Android Development] bone069:
Good question :D I think you always need to have wifi enabled everytime you enable something in Tweaks where a file has to donwloaded (beats/boot-/downanimation/fonts). When you will disable something for example beats there has to be removed files so I don't think that the wifi is necessary. But I am not sure at all :P
[Desire Android Development] krezo1987:
I did a couple times and my wifi is enabled.
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Yes, that much I know. But I'm not certain whether scripts like XLoud are stored locally, or have to be downloaded as well. Seb?
[Desire Android Development] 00Scott00:
Thanks, but it doesn't work. The video is still stretched and weird. Also in video mode I don't have that setting, only in camera mode.
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
I also couldn't get XLoud working, I've just done a fresh install cause the phone wasn't shutting down, so I'll see if it works now.
[Desire Android Development] krezo1987:
I found file XLOUDON in ROM's zip file in system\bin folder. Is there anything I can do with it?
[Desire Android Development] bone069:
Maybe the server of chapy is currently not available. For me it worked well everytime.
[Desire Android Development] _cino:
No, there's no fix about this. Just shoot landscape.
[Desire Android Development] krezo1987:
OMG guys I'm sorry I found my problem...my app manager disable start up of Android Effect Service which is service for XLOUD. Once again so sorry! :D
[Desire Android Development] Amer:
There is an app in the market called "led me know " made specifically for our desire , u can change led color and frequency to sms , gmail , whatsapp and many other . Try it out

It works perfect for me
[Desire Android Development] benhur5701:
Reboot is necessary :) I just done it
[Desire Android Development] dmwase88:
Am an addicted Rom flasher but this the greatest of all my flashing history...just great

Sent from my HTC Runnymede
[Desire Android Development] nenadj:
Does someone also have this bug?
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
I went to power settings, turned "fast reboot" off, powered off, and when I powered back on, my splash screen came up - which means the phone has effectively powered off entirely, and not gone into hibernation.

So it seems to work just fine. Double-check that you have the "fast reboot" setting turned off, otherwise "power off" will do exactly the same as "hibernate".
[Desire Android Development] nenadj:
Yes I checked couple times and option "fast reboot" has been unchecked.
[Desire Android Development] madkai:
Turn off fastboot

-> Settings -> Power
[Desire Android Development] marcp39:
Ok thx for you answer I'll give a try !
[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
just like to ask the users of AIO v5.0.1? what kernel works better for your device? is it snq or droidzone? in terms of battery and response of the unit?

i need your opinion. please. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
For me there is nothing between snq and droidzone kernel in every aspect.

Seb reported better performance with droidzone. Thy not try both for a few days and report back? Every phone, setup and user experience different results so use the one that works best for you.
[Desire Android Development] asalus:
is fm radio working?
[Desire Android Development] bone069:
For me the Droidzone kernel is better. It is has good performance and seems to be as fast as snq kernel but the battery life is better. I am able to charge it until 4192 mv and device is shutting down at 0%. With snq it goes off at approx 20%. So in overall aspect I would prefer Droidzone kernel.
[Desire Android Development] drummerboy46:
The droidzone Rom is definitely better. Improved performance, battery gets to 0% and hardly any audio stuttering from the media player.
[Desire Android Development] kdsone:
The same goes for me. After using droidzone kernel for 4 days (without any freezing) both are good (quadrant score is higher for sqn but real life use and speed is equal) but I prefer the battery to go to zero.

But remember that not all Desires are equal, so test them both (flashing a kernel is eazy)
[Desire Android Development] Timewise:
If a battery doesn't go to 0% complete it is because the battery is damaged due to the many times we charge our phones, this has nothing to do with calibration or this rom.

Sent from Hell
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
It definitely does have something to do with the kernel, though. There have been many reports from users saying their phone would shut down at anything from 0-25% (approximately) with snq-'s kernel, and at 0% with different kernels (Alex-V, Droidzone). And as far as I'm aware, a new kernel can't make a battery hardware problem go away.
[Desire Android Development] drummerboy46:
I totally agree when running this Rom on snq my batt would die at 20% but under droidzone. It runs the battery down to 0%.
[Desire Android Development] shakalu:
For me it is the other way around : with snq kernel my battery would die at the last percent and in droidzone's at 16 %. I recalibrated last night for the second time, and now i wait for the battery to discharge. Let's hope it goes all the way to zero. For me, 5.0 is definetly faster than the previous version, maybe because of the kernel. I noticed though it also eats the battery faster, but it's enough for one day.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...i can not giving up...try sense 3.5 roms...lol...so i tried the last one...

and i must say....till now...very good work sebastian...there is enough ram free...all is without a lag at the moment...hope its also after i restore my apps...and make my accounts...but till now...i say respect...very good work... ;) :) :p :rolleyes: :D :cool:

my last try with your rom was v3...and the feeling was very bad..sry.. :o

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] wviegas:
is there any good if i change the radio 5.11.05.27 to 5.17.05.23?

can i update it? why is not included on the rom?
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
I had the same experience, Alex. I used to use this ROM on v3 but it was just too laggy, there were too many flaws to be ironed out, and literally every day brought a new update that changed a lot of things but didn't fix any of the real issues. I almost changed HBOOT to try your ROM out :p but I came back to try this eventually.

All those old problems have pretty much gone now. Aside from the classic Sense 3.5 bugs (gray previews in skins, wallpapers etc.) and some minor annoyances like battery life, this is now pretty much a finished ROM.

Update if you want, but it won't make any noticable difference. And it isn't included in the ROM, because ROMs never include radios.
[Desire Android Development] nikh667:
Quick update on the freezing issue - i've been on data++ all day and sadly no different, still experienced a batch of freezes all together this afternoon.

Once phone up and running after 3-4 freezes it behaves perfectly well. Going to flash back to Cm7r2 later and have another think, maybe source another SD card.

Still like to stress however that seb's rom itself is flawlessly good.
[Desire Android Development] DVDL16:
Hey guys

Firstly, well done to madmaxx82, seb and amarullz for bringing us an awesome experience to our beloved Desires. I can report that 5.0.1 is running great with better battery life than previous versions.

I have one question though, a few months back, when my Desire was stock, I know that when I inserted the phone into my car dock, "Car Mode" would automatically be enabled and the default car dock "app" would launch.

Now, when I connect my phone to the car dock, it pops up a "Download Locations" dialogue which states that the Locations data files are missing. I have options Download, or Cancel. When I choose the latter, nothing happens (no car dock app is launched).

Can anyone shed some info on this? Does it have something to do with Laputa being disabled or is the "Car Mode" feature removed from this base?
[Desire Android Development] Faktorx2:
Ok my Phone Reboot Only when i Use Car Powercabel and Useing Googel Nai or Navigon.

New Install same Bug.
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Don't know for sure as I don't use car holder but seems to be locations/laputa trying to donwload your country area maps, unless you disabled locations at installation script, in that case could be missing laputa apk files.

I would remove laputa files and install carhome from market or you can go for downloading laputa files when having wifi access.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

So then try changing sd, this is the one try missing now.
[Desire Android Development] Amer:
Yep , just tried it and it does work
[Desire Android Development] ramph1:
just a simple request... please bring back the old locale - English (Philippines) , so that I can enjoy the Weather and News Widget. The new locales doesnt have the English (Philippines) which caused the weather and news widget couldnt default to Philippines as my location...

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
Can someone help me here. I have taken the boot animation from the ICS Rom to use here. I also want to use it as the down animation.

I put them in the folder set permissions etc. and the boot up animation works fine but the boot down animation causes the phone to restart when I try to turn off the phone or boot into recovery from the restart power button. I suppose it has something to do with the file in the boot animation zip file... desc.txt or something?
[Desire Android Development] Bungholio:
Sorted!

Thanks for your help with this.

I managed to flash a new HBoot using the Java app Flash Commander - flashed the Cm7r2 Hboot and re partitioned my EXT4 to 1024Mb - installed Runnymede and the A2SDX Zip update.

The whole thing is working like a dream, no FC's and no lag whatsoever - its like a stock rom - even better maybe!

Only issue is the battery drain, with Mobile Internet on i get about 8 hrs before i need to charge!

Thanks again & Sebastian - Awesome ROM! :p
[Desire Android Development] 325i.:
Has anyone got the zip that moves the dalvik to the SD?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep...really the same...i have now restored my apps and set up my accounts...and till now its smooth and stable...

so thx goes to sebastian :) installed bliss fusion and quicklaunch... have also installed rsk amaze cam...works good for me

with kind regards

headphones problem

Hello everyone,

Version 5.0.1 solved some issues yes, the phone is more responsive now,

but has one major bug,

The headphones aren't working! I enabled beats audio... nothing changed,

it's like the phone doesn't understand when the plug is in. Tried with a couple of them and the stock,

so it's clearly 5.0.1 bug because in previous versions it worked ok..

Any idieas? is this isssue known? it will be fixed in next updates?
[Desire Android Development] tarzan11:
I also agree, this is a near perfect 3.5 rom anyone will ever use, the best.:)
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Bliss fusion and Quicklaunch? Does that make the Quicklaunch widget run smooth and without lag? Because that's the one and only thing I would really love to see on this ROM... Could you point me to those files, please? And tell me if it works without bugs? Maybe a screenshot, if I'm not being annoying already? :p

Thanks! :D
[Desire Android Development] stm999999999:
Ui, it is possible to put the clear button into the corner like older android/sense versions, right? Is there anyway to do so without losing the black taskbar?

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

a question to all these people: when phone shuts down from 20% with snq: When you charge it and start the phone directly, is battery at 0%? And makes it a "jump" from 80 to 100%?
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Black taskbar? The taskbar is always black. However, you do get a choice between a white or black background in the pulldown notifications area. Just go to RCTweaks > Scripts (or smth) > Install black/white SystemUI. Make sure your WiFi or mobile connection is on, and reboot afterwards.

And voila, your SystemUI will have been replaced: you get the 'clear' button on its stock position, most stock icons like WiFi, and the background color of your choice.

Hope that helps!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes..without a lag...that's why I use it...but with bliss fusion you must use bliss Rosie in rctweak and restart...you can get the files from my last Rom mod...

With kind regards..Alex

Also I used the resized calculator from sense 2.1
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Alex any chance you could post the files please?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
ok...wait a moment
[Desire Android Development] kruxice:

[Desire Android Development] stm999999999:
Ah, wonderful! :)

Can I combine this with uot kitchen? I like the little green Scar45 droid :D How can I do this?
[Desire Android Development] Ronok:
Still quite high battery usage when the screen is on. The only thing I did was sending text messages the last few hours and this is the result.

Edit: oh yes, also one phone call
[Desire Android Development] Mr Hofs:
Everytime I restart my phone it sends my latest sms again ? Can somebody explain or confirm that. Had it 2 times today. Strange !
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
yeh, first run the script in tweaks then reboot then flash you uot file in recovery, works fine for me.

By the way the default notification bar is sense not black, you get black from the tweaks script :D
[Desire Android Development] stm999999999:
My desire is recogniced as HTC Runnymede (not Sensation XL like the previous speaker).

Are there any (new) infos

a) did this affect the compatibility check?

b) which parts in build.prop (or somewhere else?) are responsible for compatibility check AND/OR the device name in market?

here you can find some build.prop parts of various desire roms, perhaps we are able to find out the right parts?

this rom here:

Leedroid V3 GB - AFAIK this is no port from another base (I guess Runnymede AIO is a port, a port of a HTC Runnymede rom, right?)

and for comparison a Leedroid which is a port of Desire HD - LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5

und mal noch was ganz anderes, einfach beliebig aus der Liste der aktuellen Desire GB Sense3er Roms rausgegriffen:

PyramidMod007_v11_b-CM7.zip
[Desire Android Development] PhineasFreak:
Yes it does, at least the jump in both directions, never saw that it was on 0% after loading.

Look at the two screen shots attached, hope they appear.

One shows the loading cycle while I was on 4.01, the other on 5.01. I guess you see what I mean. Also look at the behavior when charged to full. On the old rom it's a flat line, the new one with its up and downs looks like it was on the original rom.

But I wasn't down to 0 yet, which brings me to the next point: with this rom (for me) no battery drain anymore, it even lasts longer than the original 2.2 and 2.3 roms. I'm nearly afraid to say that and knock on wood three times because it's just day 2 after flashing. This Install runs perfect on my phone, no lags, everything works as it should.

During install of 4.01 I was asked if Google should save my settings, opposite to my normal behavior I agreed, two weeks later, I flashed 5.01, rebooted, entered my account data and let the phone alone for some time because I was busy. Switched it on and couldn't believe my eyes, everything was as before, all apps installed (mostly including data), background the same, even wifi access points. I just had to restore Bluetooth pairings from TB. Never read that here and didn't know about it coming from 2.3 stock Rom. Is it a feature of sense 3.5?

Also thanks to Sebastian and the other folks that made that Rom possible and giving my old desire a new life.
[Desire Android Development] olive127:
Hi,

Yes, by default the auto brightness is far too high, my phone last 8 hours if I let these settings...

Go to RCMix options, display and set brightness auto to Lower or Lowest.
[Desire Android Development] stm999999999:
unfortunately this do not work, this do not work at all. :eek:

first: all the "White UI" things are gone, "clear" is on the bottom again, etc.

second: I got massive fc's on various apps and system resources.

My uot script based on the framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk ... I extracted from the AIO rom - so perhaps I have to use the actual ones in my phone after installing the tweaks scripts?

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

and something completly different:

with sense2 I was able to define more than one Scene (on german Szene). Going to "personalisieren" I have a title "actual scene: HTC" but do not find anything to change this and make own ones?
[Desire Android Development] JamesXY:
Yes...I guess the RC Tweaks changes SystemUI when you seelct any UI change, so the SystemUI.apk in your ROM changes - it differes from the ZIP you have downloaded from here. Therefore you have to download one directly from the phone.
[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
how can i have the two buttons (call and menu?) under that widget? thanks
[Desire Android Development] Tarun Chaudhary:
Help...

My battery drains very fast while the screen is on. But I'm a big fan of this ROM. I don't want to go back to any other one.. Can anyone tell me which kernel should I flash to improve the battery life ?
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
Select Bliss rosie in Rcmix Tweaks and reboot.
[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
try to set the display > brightness to automatic and in RC tweaks, set it to lowest. i'm also observing mine right now after changing the displaying setting. i also encounter fast battery drain when screen is on.
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
YUpe changing SD card solved my all freezing issue.. I have used 3 diffrent SD cards and i would say the SD card with better read speed performs well with this ROM.. I bought Samsung class6 8GB its reads almost 28MBs :)
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Such a shame... I really like the Quicklaunch widget, but the gray "Bliss-style" panels really put me off, not to mention the ugly ass Bliss rosie... damn and double damn! :p

Thanks anyway, Alex. Sorry for being such a bother ^^
[Desire Android Development] Tarun Chaudhary:
Thanks for the reply..

I tried this too... I manually set my brightness to 20% only... but still, no change.. Then, I flashed the snq's kernel.. but it's still eating up my battery very fast...
[Desire Android Development] _cino:
AFAIK, there are a lot of properties that will affect the compatibility check. Maybe DPI value, Android version, and even your SIM issuer code. It's actually more related to the policy made by app maker.

I don't think ro.product.model affects compatibility check much and it's because I changed the model name to "iPhone 5" and I don't have any unexpectedly compatibility issue.

The market would say: "This app is compatible with your HTC iPhone 5".

It's just hilarious.
[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
i'm still observing mine. if still drains fast, i'm planning to flash the v3.0.5. that version is what i remember when i got a normal battery life. il just give it a try.
[Desire Android Development] Tarun Chaudhary:
Good for you man.. but I don't want to give up on this version. I like it very much. It would have been perfect for me, only if the battery drain issue wasn't there.. Oh well, I would wait for the next version. maybe that would fix it.. :)
[Desire Android Development] nikh667:
I'm on a 16gb Samsung class 6 at the moment, will try another and see how I go. Still freezing only at my work and mainly when I receive an incoming call, highly frustrating. I might try flashing an older radio again too, anyone suggest a radio that may help or what my desire may have been originally on.?
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Try getting the right setting for your mobile operator. And go to settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point names. then edit them with correct settings.

For people with saying there is a battery issue, just remember where using old hardware with a new OS. The desire battery was never great to start of with, I get about 10-15 Hours out of this RoM not heavy use, but enough use to keep me happy with this superb RoM.

I fully switched to bliss mode yesterday to try it. Anyone find it abit laggy when switching home screen, opening app dock?

I have now removed the bliss widget and just using buttons and the lag went right away.
[Desire Android Development] oleiros2k8:
Battery life -> SNQ

Response -> Droidzone

My choice, very happy with Droidzone. Now i really feel a good user experience.
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
As far as i have gone through this thread there are different reasons which is causing freezes and it is not only because of SD cards.. Few solutions which had helped as follows..

a] For many people (Including me ) the freeze was because of SD card ( faulty card or low read speed card). And replacing with new cards solved this problem.

b] For some(one) guy changing the HBOOT to data++ solved the issue.

c] For some(one) guy the problem was because his SD card was not in proper contact and he used some plaster/tape on card to fit in SD card slot and solved.

d] Increasing voltage by 50 or 100 had reduced the freeze problem for few people but it never completely solved it.

e] For many people V4.0.0 had fixed(reduced) freeze problem..

Go through this once .. Unstable Desire

Any one who has solved freeze problem except using above solutions ???? please share it so that it will be helpful..

Regards
