[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Strange. I've initially flashed it (clean install, wipe everything) and the mic bug was solved (the other party could hear me). After that I've start installing several apps: busybox, titanium, Call Master, dialer, DPI Changer...etc. After that the bug was back. One of the applications that were installed after made that happen. Now I've flashed again with wipe and will check when or after which app the bug is back. I suspect after installing busybox but not sure

In this release I keep getting "Exchange Service has stopped" message, that was not before. I cannot setup an Exchange account this way.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I would be really happy if you pm me too vampire to tell me the fix :)
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
Thanks Prox but i still occasionally get the red border. I have also directly edited the build.prop and still same problem.

Also, I am getting Exchange service failures but i am installing the latest gapps to see if it fixes it.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, EGL is fixed from source now :) lets continue hehe
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I'm getting this too. Though, Mail is not part of the GAPPS. Gmail is, but not the internal mail client...that's part of the Android OS as far as I know. Dunno if you solve it by installing latest GAPPS
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
forever thanks!!! :P

with this and a mic fix we have a stable rom that must atleast meet beta :P I see nothing else that would make it impossible to use as a daily drive
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Does it meen full hw acc?
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
works fine for me:D
[HTC Desire S] alain.duchateau:
ok i try again !!! :-)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Okay, have the mic fix...i have an issue that with the new gralloc... i get no sound at all now damn

Making lots of kernel fixes now to finish with it so can concentrate on rom :P
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Fix sound is easy. If you got 3d working we are almost done
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
lol pro, come on gtalk, i have sound issues and not sure i have the right mic fix :P
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Something happened after first install. The mic bug was gone only after first clean install. After that I've flash it several times and the bug was present from the beginning (wiped everything all the time).

What I've noticed is that only the first install was bringing up that start wizard. So I guess something remains even if I wipe cache, dalvik and format data/factory restore.

I'll try again by restoring previous backup with the other ROM I have and start over. Dunno why first time worked.:confused:

The steps I did were:

First time:

1. Go to 4EXT Recovery, wipe data/factory, cache, dalvik

2. Flash the ROM

3. Got the initial Setup Wizard, gone through it

4. Make some test phone calls. Bug was solved

5. Installed some apps, made some other test calls. The bug was back

Every flash after first one:

1. Go to 4EXT Recovery, wipe data/factory, cache, dalvik

2. Flash the ROM

3. Make some test phone calls. Bug was there from start

Strange why I didn't get the step 3 after second flash...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Bingo sound is no issue...

Just get 3d working and i guess all the tough parts are done :)

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Yup if your fixing up the kernel...patch up the headphone fix as well...

Its the hd2 and it works with modification for our rom...dhd managed...you can pull that in :)

Hope you got the sound fix :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
good stuff coming soon, i taking care of the files in the ramdisk.. the kernel not anymore :)
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Wow, keep up the work. I'm really excited what we can expect when the weekend is over.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Super Cool...I guess bluetooth fix i can pull in...

gps dhd have pulled in so i guess can pull that in as well :)

Got a few ideas for that...:)

lets see :)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Tried it a couple of hours last night, looks great!

Pretty smooth when scrolling homescreens but app drawer was kinda laggy, but considering it's an alpha it amazing!

Is full hardware acceleration working yet?

Keep it up guys, you're doing an amazing job!
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
Well installing the latest GAPPS solved my problem with Exchange Services. However, Exchange Calendar doesn't seem to be working - investigating some more

Update: well definitely a problem with calendar

in settings : accounts&sync i see sync.com.android.calendar with a sync error

the labels for the other items are simply Sync Contacts and Sync Email. Not sure if it is something to do with me flashing the latest GAPPS or, as i believe, it was there from the initial ROM flash?

Interestingly, it is the same label/ error under my GMAIL account settings
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Great, I'll try too then. What GAPPS did you installed? The ones from OP removing those 3 apk's? Or you have a newer version? If you have a different version please link it
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
My suggestion to you is that in addition to wiping everything, you should also use the last option in 4EXT wipe menu, and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"

That is what a true clean install is... not just wipe.

I'm sure the mic fix will work for you after that if indeed it did for the first time.

Hope this helps. :)
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Sadly, seems sound broke on the process of making a new gralloc that supports the right egl config for our device

trying to fix it now
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
You make it sound so easy...
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I am recompiling :(
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I'm starting to think it was placebo... Maybe the other party could hear me because...he was at 1m away from me when we've done the tests. Maybe the mic was not working all the time and I'm just trying useless. Anyways, now I'll wipe again as you suggest and see if it's solved. If not, I'll wait superkid's new version and keep my fingers crossed.

AirwolfUK, you were right, flashed over the GAPPS from OP and I could setup Email

Later edit: :confused: It's not working even after full flash. I believe that first time I just thought it was solved and my friend with whom I've done the tests rather heard me over the table than in call.

Waiting for superkid :) Hope dies last
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
superkid you said you fixed EGL,

that means we will have full HW acceleration ? 2D and 3D ?

That sounds awesome :)
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
Sorry - i got caught up in a meeting so couldn't send you a link...

Do you have the calendar sync problems?
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
2D :P... 3d one is not fixed yet
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No. No calendar sync problems. I've just setup my corporate Exchange mail and I've set to sync also the calendar. All meetings are showing up. I've even create a new meeting for today on my PC and it showed on the phone in short time
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
OK thanks, looks like its time to fully wipe and start again....

Out of interest, what GAPPS version - I found one dated 20111128?
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
is it just me or i can feel every1 goin up and down like crazy cz of this news.? :D:eek:
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
i'm going crazy.....c'mon guys!!! don't care the season...it's time of an Icecream Sandwich!! yum :-p
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/c0e01b4619a1455a looks like ICS is waiting :)
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Will the face recognition lockscreen be included? It is the main core of the ice cream sandwich. Without it, it is nearly like thee gingerbread.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
superkid, get to work :D If anyone can make a build here, it's you. You might not be able to directly compile from AOSP cuz of the HUGE hardware requirements, but i'm sure you'll port a DHD build. I'm pretty sure it'll get one in a day or two ;)
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
Woah... Those are some monster specs. I feel sorry for the poor machine being used to compile. :P

Swyped from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, i am sad i cant really work on it if i am not at home now, also i forgot at home my other phone, so i cant install roms to test.

Well, i have compiled a few kernels to try and made some changes, will try it as soon as i can
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
hopefully we should have CM9 within 2 months according to this blog:

you may wanna keep an eye on this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343361 the progress thread for DHD. We will definitely need a new kernel, so someone like Nexx or Cayniarb must help
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, i downloading the source a few hours already, hope all will go good by that side.

It might help me to make from source or to fix this one
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Anyways, superkid, did you try to port the DHD or SGS builds? As far as i know, we need a kernel to fix, so you should contact Nexx or Cayniarb or someone else who knows about kernels. How big is the source? 6 GB?
[HTC Desire S] xda2jojo:
i'll give him several days vacation...
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
haha well, the dhd version is close to ours..the sgs ones are sdk ones... far behind ours atm

Well, i been busy..... but i will work on this... dont worry

[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, i have the source... i will look at it later, need to make loads of homework haha

If its what i think its the fix for touch :P
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've flashed the one linked in OP. By the file name, the date is 22-11-2011 so yours is newer. Dunno, try with the one in OP also, maybe it'll work

[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
A broken source sounds pretty dire. Hope you get it fixed soon. If you can get here in the UK, you're more than welcome to borrow my internet to download the source.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Looks cool, but i wonder what the purpose of a screensaver is on a phone...
[HTC Desire S] -Sumsy-:
i think its for when the phone goes in standby and then when all the icons flying about you can select what you want to go on to like facebook and games ect and it takes you directly to it thats all i can think off
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
OK so wiped everything, formatted everything, installed from scratch and then the GAPPS in the OP, removing the apps mentioned.

Now syncing OK but seems very slow but might just be my network.

Thanks to all -
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For me, it takes about 30 secs - 1 min to sync between the calendar in my PC with the one in phone. So if I add a new appointment in Outlook, after max 1 min it's present also on my phone. Dunno if it's relevant for you but this is just for you to make an idea about how long it takes the sync between the two
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Sorry to go off topic but.... I MISSED 5 PAGES FROM 6 HOURS OF SCHOOL?!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
have you ever tried following a DHD thread? This type of progress is slow for those guys.....
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
DHD thread is a joke. Most threads in the DHD forums are though. So many noobs!

For those of you that are not following progress on irc, we have mdeejay working with superkid and the other guys on the saga. :)

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah but that's DHD! This is the desire s where something like that never happens
[HTC Desire S] Asddsads98:
This looks like a great rom, but one problem when I touch the screen, nothing happens. Can't even shut up other than pulling the battery out. :(
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What's the IRC channel?

Wait till we get stable ICS. Everyone and their grandmother will ditch XYZ ROM and get on this one. Then, this will be pretty common.

With MDJ, this will speed up 10 times. FINALLY, AN ACTUAL KERNEL DEVELOPER HAS A SAGA :D
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
This may be a very noob question but, will the official ICS stock Rom get posted here on the DS forum when it ships?
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
What version are you using, on the most recent versions I have had no issues with the touch screen.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
I'm not sure the DS will get an official ICS rom.

But I would to be proven wrong :)

[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
wow! thanks Proxuser cant wait :)

@cjward23 - this was from a site that I've just been told is reliable, seems your right the outlook for stock upgrade probably isn't gonna happen:

"• HTC Desire: HTC's Desire Gingerbread upgrade was a fiasco if I've ever seen one: The manufacturer went back and forth about 7.2 billion times as to whether it'd give the phone Android 2.3 or not, then eventually decided to provide an upgrade -- sort of. HTC said the phone couldn't support Gingerbread in its native state and offered the upgrade only "for expert users who want to experience Android 2.3 and understand the limitations which apply." It went as far as to state that the upgrade was "for development only and not for general public use" and that "certain functions may no longer be usable" after installation, "including but not limited to MMS and SMS." All considered, another upgrade looks incredibly iffy"
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
This is talking about the Desire not the Desire S, the desire S had gingerbread right away
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Hm...should I stay?...or should I go? This is the question... At the office I mean. Wait till prox will link the new version, or I have enough time to go home till it's out?

Not to mention superkid's version...

One had the sensors working, in the last from proxuser they were not. Can you integrate this from superkid?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Hmm maybe there is still hope, thanks mate
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Why would you want official release anyway? It would have sense on it, and I can't think of much worse than that...

Oh, what's our irc channel?
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
IRC Channel means Internet Relay Chat and for this project our server is on freenode at #saga-ics
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Oh I know what it means, just didn't know where it was being hosted/the channel name. I'm about to make it a regular haunt!

Cheers very much :)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
I though that ICS was a totally new OS that didnt use sense :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Is it possible to flash Superkids ICS Version through Boot Manager as a SD ROM and MIUI as a Phone ROM?
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
It might work, though Boot Manager doesn't like every ROM. Try it and see! I had one working before through it, but it can be hit and miss.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
It is but any release from HTC will have some form of sense on top for sure
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Aye, this. And I consider putting sense on ANY rom a totally heathenous move. Why would anyone want that over bloated heap of crap as a UI. Ics is a million times prettier with its sharp and modern looking UI. No more htc brushed steel and round edges...
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
But there is one problem: the market doesnt work and for Boot Manager you need the market to check the license. Or is the problem that the download doesnt work?
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Lots of people are liking Sense. I think it's a matter of personal preference.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Ah i see so ICSh was made by someone else, i follow you now
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
The market works on proxusers latest build, try that.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
+1

Well said. I totally agree with you on that one mate. :)

Having personally tried every ROM available for the DS till date (and i mean every one of them), i've realised i can never let go of Sense. Hell, i'll probably never buy another non-HTC phone just for the sake of Sense.

Why do you think the number of Sense ROMs trumps the AOSP roms in the DS thread?

In the end, it's all about personal preferences...

For those foul-mouthing one ROM or the other, there is no need to slam a particular ROM or call it "crap" just because it doesn't suit your taste...

It just shows callousness and disrespect towards the developers who spend their time on these ROMs for us.

Don't like it, don't use it... it's not like you paid for them and got a bad deal!!

As Bob Dylan crooned wisely - "Don't criticize what you don't understand!"
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
You are definetly right. Right now I'm on Endymion 2.2 coming from LBC 0.6. Both have sense and both are great. Tried lots of other roms without sense as well, but I'm always missing something. Phones are definetly faster with non-sense Roms, but in my and only my oppinion they don't have the funcionallity of sense. ICS and esp. both these ROMs by Proxuser and Superkid are definetly worth a try, they are fast, good looking and very eye candy. And, to be honest, I don't really miss sense there. Lets see what happens next and lets hope that HTC is working on another sense version for ICS. I think it will be great.

Finally, regards to all the developers, enthusiasts, testers etc. - you are doing a good job to make this wonderfull device (IHMO one of the best because of its not so big screen size) even better.

booting into Bootloader -> booting into Recovery -> install update.zip and at the time trying to boot into my old MIUI

[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
what are the differences between "format all partitions" and a "full wipe"? if I format what will i lose?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You'll lose everything not on the sd card along with the contents of special folders on the sd card like the .data folder which contains your locations and HTC data, the .android_secure folder. You will also lose all personal data, but you do that with a full wipe anyway.

Your media files etc however will remain untouched.

Basically, a full format gives you clean unbroken partitions with no past remnants from the previous ROM.

I personally use it every time a flash a completely new ROM.

Hope that answers your question.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Will a full format wipe the radio as well?

When I am using superkid's ROM will i continue to use my current radio?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
This ROM is outdated!!!!!! Stop posting here. Use the new ice cream sandwich rom.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No, wiping or flashing a ROM will never change your radio. That's completely different.

PS -

STOP POSTING IN 1 MONTH OLD THREADS !!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I agree with dan_fish... this thread is out-dated, so you had better check out the new thread regarding ICS beta for the latest news.

But to answer your question, No, a full wipe does not wipe your radio. Just the ROM and kernel. So whatever you flash after your full format, you'll still be on the same radio unless you explicitly flash a new radio....

Hope this helps.

EDIT : I see that shrome has already voiced my opinion by the time i typed my reply. I call it the ICS effect. :D:D

Happens all the time on the new ICS thread!! :p:p:p

I have been trying to get the source to compile using the CM7 device profile for the saga. This, works, with a bit of tweaking, but I am stuck at a problem with the GPS which causes the build to abort half way through.

Well, i am building some versions from source too, will test them today night :P

Also created a new kernel, that seems to work better
