Yeah I understand the whole process, if you check out my previous posts, you'll see the methods I didn't mention to you, but I've tried. Every single time I try flashing via CWM, I get "E/ cache/recovery.log" can't mount or access... I think the only way round is using HBOOT, as any install I try using CWM, it loads the zip, opens it, mounts it, says prepare for flash, does a couple of steps then comes up with that access error O_o

Do you know how I can extract a recovery.img out of one of the virtuous affinity (corrupt) backup I made before everything went wrong with CWM, put it into a PG32IMG and create the android-txt? I've tried using other PG32IMGs but they never complete... And the android-txt doesn't work with my recovery.img :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] bernlim:
Had something similar, but it got worse and worse as time passed. Sent it to HTC and turns out the motherboard's spoilt.

I suggest you send it in and start afresh. Took me only 3 days, and HTC didn't mind that I was S-off.

[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
Wondering why the backup is corrupt.

Have you tried another SD Card?

Or if you don't have another one spare, have you tried formatting your SD Card and starting fresh?
[HTC Incredible S] nedlebec:
Thanks for the tip. How do I send it in, as I bought it 2nd hand off some dude... Did you contact customer services and they gave you an address?

When you say you had a similar problem, you were s-off, had cwm installed and it wouldn't boot, and they didn't mind? :)

Oh and how much did they charge you?
[HTC Incredible S] nedlebec:
Sorry, what I mean is that it is a backup of the phone, when it had started to mess around and was frequently and randomly rebooting...

I have tried formatting the card, and sing various different recovery images, without success! :(

How do I go about creating a PG32IMG?

Too bad about development being on hold, you guys have done a great job with this rom. :)

To the users: what rom would be closest to this one with sense 3.5? I just got this phone a couple weeks ago and I have only flashed Virtuous. I'm still getting my head out of the Desire Z forum...
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
Yeah, I agree on both counts. I hope that development and support for Affinity won't be ending now the team are working on ICS already. It seems that development and support for Unity has already ended because of Affinity, which is a shame because there's still a lot of Unity users out there. And from what I've seen of ICS, I'm not keen on it and would prefer to stick with Affinity.

Erm..... this one of course! LOL

Seriously, I've tried a few Sense 3.5 ROMs and this one is the most stable and bug-free. I've tried Nik's ROM and RCMIX and both are too buggy and flashy (fancy flashy, that is) for my liking.
[HTC Incredible S] cjward23:
Cheers Legsmaniac, it's not because of ICS. A few of us just need to re-prioritize our lives. Projects like Affinity and Unity are very time consuming and our poor wives/girlfriends get forgotten about.

But development is far from dead on Affinity, we still have plans for the rom, as it says in the topic, ON HOLD not DEAD :)

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
That is very, very, VERY, VERY good to hear (read). Thanks for confirming/clarifying. :)

That is also very good to hear too. :D
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
you should try Nik's rom V2.5 (bug free) and use my cleanup script if you think it's too much flash
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
No offence but your script removes too much for my liking. The *flashy* stuff added is what Nik (and RCMIX) have added, not HTC.

Nor did I find Nik's ROM bug free for me.

I'll stay an Affinity Aficionado, cheers. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
Fair enough ! I haven't had any issues with nik rom though :)
[HTC Incredible S] djroobs:
still its more stable n best rom for 3.5 sense.i found no bugs till now,i think no customization needed right now,only i wanted a single video player including the watch application,i mean a single vdo player and also the watch app.i dont know if devs are able to port the app called,"htc listen" for sense 3.5....

hope devs will be back soon on the floor.. :)

As far as I was aware, HTC Listen was dropped by HTC.

You can download the app but it doesn't work because the network is closed down.

Works fine for me. Have you tried removing your Google Account from the phone and re-adding it? Did you restore some settings post-installation?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Just wanted to update, after increasing the wake_min and sleep_min on RCMIX 7.1, I have not faced the reboots till now :) I am back to being extremely happy with this ROM now!

On another note, I noticed in all Sense 3.5 ROMs I have tried till now that if you use WidgetLocker with ADWLauncher to replace the lockscreen, when the phone is plugged into a PC, the USB connection dialog doesn't pop up anymore (manually launching HTC Sense brings up the dialog). This was not the behavior in Sense 3.0.
[HTC Incredible S] suaji:
same with me.. huhu :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
That's good to hear. Glad that fixed your problem. Thanks for the update. :)

Of course, you can stick with RCMIX 7.1 if you're happy with it or revert back to Unity v10 (the default kernel) but you will of course still need to keep both your min settings increased.

WidgetLocker with ADWLauncher - I could be wrong but I'm not sure they're designed for Sense 3.5 so you *will* face problems.

Google Calendar - no problems here either. :)

Anyone get hold of the new kernel from klquicksall (possible version: 2.6.35.14-RCMIX-VIVO-gf17016b~dirtyken@klquicksall) which is incorporated into the latest ARHD 2.1.2? This kernel has the GPU+ enabled and I wonder if it also works in VA. I have yet to find a separate package of this kernel around.
[HTC Incredible S] majesticbluento:
i got it from this post in the ARHD thread

View attachment 819323

I flashed it to Nik's v2.0 ROM and it's working well... stereo recording in the camcorder works, although you can only OC to 1.6GHz unlike klquicksall's previous kernel that went to 1.8GHz.

Haven't tried it with VA though.

I noticed that too, but I can live with that issue.

Anyone tried installing the Dock Mode app from the ARHD 2.1.2 rom? I pulled the apk, but it won't install, I'm over looking something but I don't know what.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Firstly, this rom is super smooth. I came from stock to this and I was quite amazed.

Secondly, every now and then there is a slight stutter or pause.

Question is, does this rom have GPU rendering??

Mike's rom has this mentioned in the details/features:

"Enabled GPU UI rendering", and in bold.

Thanks for the rom, I'm very happy with it, shame that its on hold.

I'm just curious. Thanks!! :)
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I flashed the kernel used in Mike's rom which is supposed to enable GPU. Not sure if I notice any improvement though.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
So that would theoretically work?? And its a kernel thing? No way to find out, is there?

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Okay, so I did some research and I found out a way to supposedly enable gpu rendering by editing my build.prop. Not sure if it worked or not :)
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Can you share your finding? I found this thread in the Desire forum which seems to suggest GPU+ is a kernel thing. Besides, in Mike's changelog, he mentioned GPU+ patch in the kernel section.
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
gpu+ and full gpu rendering are two different things guys ...

gpu+ is a kernel patch by -snq which supposedly increases graphics rendering ... most kernels have this already ... including mdj's i believe ...

hw rendering is something that can forced through build.prop by adding something like debug.hw.sf=1 ... this forces the system to use the hardware to render graphics that would have otherwise been rendered by the cpu itself ... this increases performance only in cases where the graphics was earlier rendered by the cpu ... which is most of the time xD
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Does this rom come with a good kernel or is it better to flash another. ?
[HTC Incredible S] Legsmaniac:
My own opinion is the kernel that comes with the ROM is the best, Unity v10.

You can flash another if you want to but I've never really noticed any improvement or advantages when I tried this.
[HTC Incredible S] cypis:
Try this one ;) :

http://www.multiupload.com/TH1ZPHA4JW
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
knightrocker is correct

All you have to do is open up your build.prop in some file editor, (I used es explorer) and add the line

debug.sf.hw=1

Making sure you have a line separating it to the previous text

I put it at the end.

Still not sure if it works. :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I've also got a lower autobrightness mod if anyone wants it :)
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:

[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:

[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I sort of got all my stuff mixed up, I don't know which one it is.

I made a new one, attached as a zip, just flash it. Not completely sure it works though. Not sure about the file size.

I also have attached the modded framework-res.apk which has the lower autobrightness. Just upload to uot kitchen with other nessesary files from the rom and it should work.

The second method worked for me, I just don't know where it is. Sorry.

REMEMBER TO TAKE A BACKUP

On another note, I'm trying RCMIX 3D 4.0 which has a lower and lowest autobrightness option in RCtweaks. I'm pretty sure you can flash the RCtweaks on affinity, but you lose the virtuous tweaks.

Edit: Added lower autobrightness mod with percentage battery.

[HTC Incredible S] BillTheCat:
Not sure about the RCM project, but rumor has it we can expect an update to Affinity at some point in the future. My guess is that most of the effort is going into the ICS ROM right now. I was hoping to see some performance improvements in Affinity because I like Sense and ICS isn't ready on Inspire yet, anyway. Not even sure if ICS is an improvement at all, other than some visual effects.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I tried quattro for my first ics ROM thinking that the improvements would outweigh the loss of the camera, but I was back to affinity in about 20 minutes. There's something I like about affinity and sense that I keep coming back to.

Other than adding a few more tweaks and fixing the panorama, there's not much that can be improved IMO.

Anyone else having issues with re-enabling the phone from flight mode?

I'M using Affinity 1.48 since it was released, and so far everything was very well.

Now I found there's a problem: When I enable flight mode and switch it off again I frequently won't be asked for the SIM PIN, no matter how long i wait or how many times I re-cycle flight mode on and off again. Only working solution so far is to reboot the whole phone.

Now, I am aware that there may be apps interfering here, since I didn't find this problem in the forum yet. Apps I have installed and that work closely to hardware and require root are: JuiceDefender, LBE Privacy Guard, Cerberus, 4EXTrecovery, ROM Manager, AdFree, AnTuTu, Battery Monitor, Chainfire 3D, Titanium Backup, Orbot, System Tuner Pro, Terminal Emulator and VPNC Widget.

I only use a few of them regulary, just Cerberus, Chainfire 3D, LBE and JuiceDefender are running all the time, and so far I didn't have issues with them.

Anyone else having a similar problem with this ROM? Hints appreciated :D
