is this the correct placer to remove those languages not nessecary?

\Beta_0.4.0RC5.zip\system\tts\lang_pico

I situate in Spain but want to use ENG only. If I remove spanich as well, will the phone use then ENG only?
[Desire Android Development] Jurrvoss:
Tried custom installation (apex launcher , stock mms, stock a2sd softkey enabled) , stuck on bootanimation for 30+ min

So now trying typical installation.

To bad though , I like the softkey buttons

btw , im on stock hboot , so expected it to work actually
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The soft keys + lockscreen rotation is still available friom my site - downloads - flash a completely stock install and then add mods afterwards! Is working for me so far!
[Desire Android Development] Jurrvoss:
ya , tried typical intallation and now booting without a problem !

Nice and smooth.. and now I'm gonna try those mods on top of it , thnx!
[Desire Android Development] tetterismixalis:
On the contrary, I believe that this rom must have as many languages as possible. Don't forget that it is used by people all over the world. For me, for example, the lack of the greek ICS keyboard is a setback.

P.S. is there an easy way to use the keyboard included in the bcm (cm9) rom?
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Coming from the RC1 having a regular A2SD setup, RC5 installation gave me an OS without keyboard, and half apps missing.

I'm gonna try with other install options.
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
still having problems? high speed is working for me. If you need it, I can post the link to it on my server.
[Desire Android Development] naruz:
On CM7r2, i installed RC5 all stock with nova launcher.

The keyboard is missing?!!
[Desire Android Development] P0MM3S:
anyone got wifi tether workin on rc5? for me is starts, but short after it shuts itsfeld down...
[Desire Android Development] nht_max:
Thanks for the clarification. The options I chose were Apex/Nova launcher; amarullz a2sd; softkeys; mms mod and I am on either stock or cm7r2.

My guess is that there might be something from the installer script that may have caused this, because If I choose the Typical settings for the flash then either hboot I am on, It works just fine.

I really think the idea of the installer is great because we get to choose the customizations that fit us best. I myself thought that If I get the Apex launcher, maybe the settings for it will work properly, not like the stock on ICS we are currently on. Also, I love the softkeys as well, they make it cooler and more convenient at the same time.
[Desire Android Development] sthbr82:
Installed RC5 A2SDX in CM7 hboot. Got stuck in bootscreen. Installed regular A2SD, phone then booted up. Anybody with similar issues in A2SDX version.
[Desire Android Development] dombayo:
Wifi tether working perfectly here for the last 6 hours with no problems. Stock hboot, stock a2sd, used clockwork touch recovery. Love this ROM!
[Desire Android Development] ellite:
Tried many combinations, and what seems to be the reason for bootloop is the "Softkeys".

Any combination without the softkeys seems to work fine.
[Desire Android Development] spadie:
Black screen after Setup assistant... RC5
[Desire Android Development] tomen94:
I have the same problem. Every combination with softkeys included do not work...

Great ROM .. thx
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
If you want my soft keys mod they are still available on my website, in my signature!

my desire working with ICS 0.4.0RC5

hello, my desire working with ICS 0.4.0RC5.

until now working more or less.

as spoken some problems of a beta version, some of which already had been notice by Sandvold, others spoken here.

•	it doesn't link automatically my facebook contacts with google contacts, and puts the pictures in contact names, but no problem, i'm sure it will be fixed in further developments .

•	also have some problems with the camera as spoken in here, it takes pictures but I’m unable to see the preview.

•	i disabled the autorotation, it made the phone freeze in some occasions

•	some glitches in the image when navigating some menus, but nothing extraordinaire.

•	the situation with the network provider still remains it doesn’t find the providers, as I’m in Portugal it should be (TMN, Vodafone; Optimus) it doesn’t find any it gives a error, it goes like this: in menu :network providers, available networks, I click in searching, and it says error searching networks, but well even so it is connected to my provider TMN, so I believe it is a minor glitch to be solve in future development, I only mention because in previous roms since 0.3.6 I didn’t had this situation.

•	also not able to use the movie studio, but the same i believe it will be solved in future developments.

•	Navigation issues solved :) thanks a lot people I use it a lot so it’s a good news to me.;)

apart from this great work so far by sandvold, and all the people working on it.

still testing when I’m able if notice anything else i post it,

HTC Desire GSM S-OFF Stock H-Boot

ROM: ICS for Desire by Sandvold

Radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Recovery: clockworkmod 5.0.2.0

and not yet handled with partition on SD card for now using Titanim backup to move applications to SD card, but very nice the touch based installer, I installed only the typicaland by now great work. Also didn’t use soft keys no need for that I believe.

But by now very nice, some features don’t work yet but I believe soon they will be running in new updates.
[Desire Android Development] RoWeKo:
Affirmed problem with provider - new error found in (german) keyboard layout

Same for me, searching for network providers doesn't find any, ends up in an error. Allthough locked on to my provider afterwards.

Found an error on german keyboard: sometimes the german "umlaute" don't work correctly: if I tap and hold e.g. the letter "u" to get the umlaut "ü", the popup opens but I have to move my finger almost all over the hole screen to select the "ü". This happens also withe the "."-key on bottom right side or any other "umlaut"; the wanted key can only be selected from the opening popup while swiping all over the screen 'til the right one ist highlighted.

A reboot fixes the problem, but it comes back, not really reproduceable when or why. A calibration function (like in sense rom :eek:) would be great
[Desire Android Development] nht_max:
The latest one on your website is for rc1 only. Could it be used for rc5? I really love softkeys enabled.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes :) I'm using all the mods (batt stat + Centered clock and date, framework.jar smoother scrolling + more media volume steps, Soft Keys and modded mms.apk) on my phone running RC5... There were no framework or app changes! :)
[Desire Android Development] mr_pablo:
I just installed the latest version, everything seems fine.

Just a simple question - which launcher do people prefer? I installaed with Stock, but I assume the others have extra features?

Is there a way to swap launcher without having to re-flash?
[Desire Android Development] tabon:
apex has MANY preferences, and also doesnt freeze with auto rotation
[Desire Android Development] nht_max:
That's nice. I'm gonna try them then. Hopefully avoiding the combination with softkeys on the latest rc5 and then installing your mod will make it work.

Thanks a lot mate.
[Desire Android Development] mr_pablo:
Can i activate apex without reinstalling?

Or can i reflash over and select apex, without harming apps i have just installed?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
yes, here is the apex launcher thread which will help you out (adb required)

Each try was successful, not a bootloop...(jump from cwm 2.5.0.8 to the last touch one for the occasion)

stock hboot

stock a2sd

-> one try typical : OK

-> one try stock launcher + soft keys : OK (but what the hell would I do with soft keys ?... :confused:)

-> one try apex launcher - soft keys : OK => will stick on that one by now

a2sd OK, cachesd OK (100M free with 50 apps most of them moved to fat by TB)

cam OK, nav OK, auto-rotate OK... well everything's fine :D

will try other hboots when at home :))

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/* BIG THANKS FOR ALL the GREAT WORK *\o/* *\o/* *\o/*

EDIT : Note that all trys were done from 0.3.10 (went back from RC1 to test agps fix on 0.3.10) WITHOUT WIPING DATA (only cache and dalvik wiped at each try)

does anyone have an idea why flashing batterymod doesnt work with RC5?
[Desire Android Development] :
Missing some apps
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
And those apps are?
[Desire Android Development] Madcatzzz:
My camera doesn t work... the screen blinks. And the camera app crash.

long press back kill app

@ Sandvold: is it difficult to implement the "long press kill app" feature? I used it a lot on Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] yorkshiretyke:
Is it possible to disable trackball wake on this rom? Anyone know
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I can look it up after I set up my developermachine again. Been a while since I rebuilt it. Doubt it though
[Desire Android Development] :
Clock, Gmail, Music ... and then I flash gapps-ics-20120213-signed.zip from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ Gmail back but another no

I try to flash both custom and typical
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It is a CM feature and is in the BCM build... Shouldn't be too hard, maybe ask Evervolv to look into it!

Shouldnt be too hard, go into /system/usr/keyloutqwerty.kl - and remove the wak_dropper tag next to key 232 DPAD_CENTER - This should work, but I've not tested it myself...

You may also have to remove the WAKE_DROPPED from the other DPAD tags too...
[Desire Android Development] yorkshiretyke:
Thanks! I'll have a go with that
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Take a back up first thoug, as it may corrupt things!!!
[Desire Android Development] Thömy:
The BCM ROM has that function in the development section of the settings. Good chances it is also there.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So I install CM Music, as i like it better than the original music and music2, which both come with this rom..

It was working fine earlier, I just reboot my phone, and it has disappeaer, widget too... It is still in /system/app and permissions are still correct, I delete it, and move it back to there, change permissions and reboot again, and it still isnt showing up... Very weird!! Anyone have any ideas? I guess I can install it as a /data/app, but would prefer it to be on system!

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

As stated in my previous post, it is a CM hack, and is in BCM, but isn't inlcuded in here, and would need to ask Evervolv to include it... They would more like bugs fixed than added options for the moment though, I would have thought!
[Desire Android Development] yorkshiretyke:
Made a backup first, edited the key layout and then rebooted but still wakes upon pressing trackball.

I'm just wondering if there is another file that needs to be edited
[Desire Android Development] laving1977:
I think you have great point in your answer (miss Estonian language). Still I'm afraid you didn't cach the point of my question.

My question is if I can remove unnessecary languages from ZIP before local installation to my phone.
[Desire Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
How is she?

:-P
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
With root explorer... I have done this since the first release of this rom, well hte first release I was on...

Copied from sd card to system/app throug hroot explorer.

Changed permission to 644 (long hold on permissions change to

owner - read + write

group - Read

Others - Read

Reboot, and then it installs, now however, it isn't displaying at all... Very weird! It was there eariler!

Even after a a dalvik cache wipe it still isnt appearing! Dont know what to do here!!

EDIT: I have got it back by deleting both the other music apps in /system..

I believe it is because the first music app (not music2, Dont know why they both in there anyway) is also called com.android.music. So by deleting the first one it should then appear! However, I deleted both as I dont use them and like CM Music!
[Desire Android Development] ilijevski:
holy **** what have you done with instalation i absolutely love it :)))))
[Desire Android Development] Jurrvoss:
I can't even copy it to system/app , let alone changing the permissions..
[Desire Android Development] MrMex:
THIS ROM IS AWSOME!!! Super fast. Ok, cam is flickering and sometimes it reboots while browsing... but it is super fast.

My question now: how do I update to new version? Do I need to wipe it always?? Don't want to make an backup (Titan) on every upgrade...

And I would LOVE to see this little mod:

(the battery icon in tray) - found here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
[Desire Android Development] aritrea:
then you have to wait until this rom is stable :)

sorry, i doubt there is a better answer. some releases probably work without wiping, some don't. but just to be on the safe side, you should do a backup each time you upgrade. there is no way around it. but TB with batch operation works quite good for me - start batch job, get a beer and when you come back, everything is done.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
In Root Explorer? You need to be S-Off, and need to hit the little grey box in the top right hand corner, it says Mount R/W, which is mounting the System as Read Write, instead of R/O which is Read Only

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

You can use the UOT kitchen yourself to make a flashable.zip with that battery mod. Just upload your systemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk into the bit where you choose the rom... :)
[Desire Android Development] laving1977:
Thanks for asking, home with kids at the moment, waiting for me to go home.

***

Still - don't want to mess up with next installation. If I remove files from folder "\Beta_0.4.0RC5.zip\system\tts\lang_pico" - will it only erase language unnessecary for me or it can damage the whole package?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The language is in strings in the framework Res.apk and cannot be removed... what you are removing is the Pico text to speech service, which is speech for accessibility and Google navigation...
[Desire Android Development] MrMex:
Hi, worked great :D thank you very much.
[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:
How long does it take to boot up the first time? I'm already waiting for 10 minutes.
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
Mine took about 3-4 minutes. I recommend connecting your USB cable and see in adb logcat if you have a boot loop.
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Well im using 0.4.0RC5 Xdata class2 SD I know they recomend higher class, but I dont have a problem at all with speed hence I have'nt bought a class 6 yet.

RC5 much smoother than RC1 IMHO.
[Desire Android Development] No_u:
I'll ask my question again because nobody answered it last time :(

Could you please add bluetooth tethering support? The Gingervillain 3.3 ROM allows me to just activate bluetooth and let my tablet connect to it right away. The wireless tether app isn't working on this ROM either.

It's pretty essential for me because it saves so much battery when connecting and is safer.

[Desire Android Development] Dr.No.pt:
Can someone explain me how can i get the "Notification toolbox" widgets in the statusbar ?

I've made the normal install without any launcher.

Is there any battery percentage function included?

Thank you. :)
[Desire Android Development] stuben32:
Think i will try flashing again with the other s2sd stuff - using Nova - but wouldnt think launcher would cause the issue - guess i got some playing to do
[Desire Android Development] kodachi:
In first place thanks for your job; it´s amazing XD

I have a problem while playing videos, the screen blinks, this happens in tehe internal video player, but ussing mx video player it doesn´t.

May be the gpu aceleration? i read you are using 16 bit instead 32, can be this the origin of my problem?

Pd: i had search for this and i haven´t found any thread about, sorry if it has been answer previously.

And sorry for my english ^^
[Desire Android Development] RoWeKo:
@Dr.No.pt

Open the status bar by swipeing down and then tap on the small icon over the line, several times. You can find battery percentage there too.
[Desire Android Development] ciprigeorgiu:
is it possible to add other dictionary languages(for example romanian). if yes, how? thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
There is also a battery percentage mod on my website in downloads section... It also includes a centered clock and date.... :)
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
Well what can I say "wow" finally had a day off so have had a few hours to mess around with the different settings!

After trying a few different options for SD finally settled with the standard a2sd option as I found it more responsive, flashed over the rom a few times trying the different launchers ( just wiping cache & dalvic ) have now set for the nova launcher as the features really appeal no probs with rotation & very smooth & fast!

A huge thanks to the developers for this awesome rom the aroma installer is brilliant can't wait to see more options within as the rom develops further great job guys keep up the good work! :)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Can't be bothered looking for the ones I was suppose to quote, but anyway two answers:

We don't use 16bit because we want to. It's a problem with the hw/kernel. We're working on fixing this and it's on the top of to do list.

Bluetooth tether havn't been a priority. We'll add it when we have had time trying to fix it. If anyone know of a ROM that got it sorted plz give a link and the work will be much quicker.
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
OK so used sat nav for 4 hours just now. Reboot each time I changed the volume. Also when I took a call on Bluetooth all the directions came through the speaker. And when call ended it goes to lock screen which was annoying. Not sure which are faults and which are ics. Thought its something for your list. Oh and I'm on stock plus the mms apk.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I wanted to give a google chrome beta a try.

Since it required around 56MB (WTF!? :eek: ) I uninstalled a couple of apps and made use of a2sd xdata.

I reinstalled some of my previously uninstalled apps, g+ included. What I noticed is that somehow some of my installed apps were moved to sd (like i was using google apps 2 sd, in asec folder :eek: ). G+ was installed the same way (like I moved it to sd using google apps2sd :confused: ) so I couldn't make use of g+ widgets.

Is a2sd xdata suppose to work this way or I've messed up something?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
The reboot is a hw issue. The lockscreen issue might be ICS feature, havn't tried it myself.

Stuff like that will be a priority when we get the basics up and running. But thx for the report
[Desire Android Development] mathojojo:
Camera

I have problems with the camera. I can't see the scene i want to shot. Only a black screen, blinking.

Someone else with this bug or should I reinstall the rom ?

(the scene is black, but if I shot anyway, i get my photo... just I can't see what i shot)

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
If you try using search this thread button you'll notice there is around 348 results with keyword camera.

It's a known bug.

What this forum really needs is a sticky on every page
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
Theres nothing like reading the thread first to save you asking! but as you have No its a known bug!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Sandvold, please look at my posts on this page
[Desire Android Development] ph03:
It is missing here too on CM7r2 and apex (amarullz a2sd, no sofkeys and mms mod) after full wipe. This seems to be a common problem, is the hboot too small for the keyboard? Is it working on data++ hboot? I would like to have as much as possible internal memory available..
[Desire Android Development] mathojojo:
Right, it was probably already said...

But there is 580 pages on this forum (5797 messages), there is 348 results (as someone said just before) if I do search with camera keyword....

About thous 348 results, how much are about the 0.4 RC5 version ? How much about RC4? How much about 0.3.9 ??? ....

For as long I tried the roms here, i noticed the camera problems.... But with this version, the problem is different. However, in the "what's working" part of the first and main post, the message is always the same : Camera (partially, video is choppy).

Thank you anyway.
[Desire Android Development] :
Always read last 3 pages. There is at least 1 post about this issue.

Don't expect that this rom will work perfectly if it's only beta. Devs are working as hard as they can.
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
So you mean my phones volume buttons are causing the reboot? Never noticed it before. I've got to use sat nav again tomorrow. Will keep testing. So far it is fine for a daily rom. Top work.
[Desire Android Development] Wekkel:
Do the right thing: send $15 to the Devs via the 'Donate' button and pray. I just did.....
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
We expected problems with the new installer, they will be sorted out as we go (its a new thing for us as well).

I'm on another computer so downloading the ROM to check what the issue is.

Is the .apk signed? The issue with the modded mms.apk was that it wasn't signed. If that's the same case with the framework it might cause problems. But it's strange cause I had it working earlier. I'll take a look later.
[Desire Android Development] yorkshiretyke:
Trying to figure out how to disable trackpad wake. It was suggested that it might be possible to disable by editing the key layout, but this didn't work.

Anyone know how to disable it? Constantly catching it in my pocket
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I've always known not to sign system apps.. the signature/certificates should remain, I just decompile make changes and compile again, while keeping the signatures...

Plus, I'm using those exact files on my phone now, along with other people... if that is the problem, it shouldn't be working on my phone now...
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Just curious, why don't you just see if they can add a toggle for on screen keys and longer sms into the source, instead of doing it the troublesome way with a whole new apk for one value changed in one xml file for each one? Thats how I added on screen keys.

Also, a simpler way to add onscreen keys instead of including 2 framework-res.apks (if you don't wanna add a switch), is to have a build.prop with the following

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Thats it, no need for including a modified apk. (though this doesn't resolve the issue of the height of the nav bar, but that can be modified permanently and have no affect on those who don't choose to show the onscreen keys).
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
0.4.0 RC5 looks great, especially the installer (although it reports as RC4 in setup). Some apps crash when you come from an existing install but apart from that it looks great. Nice job! :cool:
