Yes, we know. LCDs are more efficient on white, OLEDs are more efficient on black. For example, there are two versions of Desire and they both look about the same, both in darkness and in daylight. However, one will be more energy efficient with white images and the other with black images. And one is pink (SLCD), the other is green (AMOLED)

Except when they are a variation of TN, which is about 100% of the time.

Measurements could be made very easily with Battery Monitor Widget. Simply put it on an empty desktop (the widget), take two photos with the camera, one white by pointing at an intense source of light, and one black by covering the camera, set as wallpapers, wait 2-3 minutes and see what the widget reports as mA consumptions for both backgrounds. Set screen timeout to longer periods and brightness to minimum.

Hi, just flashed this rom and everthing is working great so far. I have just one question: is there a built-in Torch? I tried the usual, tapping the "home" button at the lockscreen, but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks.

[Desire Android Development] DeeDroid:
I switched to this ROM from CM7 and I'm impressed how well ICS runs on the old desire but faced some problems which I partly solved.

The new google search just didn't show up, neither by clicking the widget nor the hardware search button. I finally installed google now from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 and now it works(without voice but still good)

I loved the notification toggles I had in CM7. If you miss them as much as I did, check out "notification toggle" from the market. It's an almost perfect substitute. It does include a system service that tries to keep the bar always on top of other notifications, it works most of the time but fails when there are notifications like download statusbars that continously update themselves. I think a tweak in the ROM that always keeps "notification toggle" on top might be a good idea to not rely on the included service.

(also includes a torchlight toggle btw)

After some time the mobile internet connection(3G or EDGE) does not work anymore and nothing helps but rebooting the phone. That's the only thing left that's causing me headaches anything else is pretty close to perfection already!:good:

[Desire Android Development] Schmeggma:
The article was written in 2007 but does mention that the resting state of the crystals is what matters, and that can obviously vary depending on the implementation.

You're saying SLCD is a variation of TN? Do you have a source, I read something when they first had the AMOLED shortage, but can't find anything now. I would expect godawful viewing angles in that case.

Why not just open an all black/white image? All four of those images read 115mA (with <1% error :)) indicating that it makes no difference on that particular screen.

So I'm settling with my original understanding that with the SLCD Desire, the difference between black & white is negligible, whereas AMOLED uses more than SLCD for white and less for black.

If I'm using Supercharger do I need to run the script after every boot up?

I am also trying to install an anti theft app (Avast) which needs to go into the system partition, trouble in version 15.1 the jellybean search means that there is literally no free space on my system. any advice on how to free up 1.5mb?

This was with version 0.14

And this with 0.15.0.1

Standard installation.

So the scores will be better!
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
Not sure if supercharger is buggered on 0.15

you need to create an EXT-4 partition on your sd card then get an apps2sd script to increase memory

Ye I know how to fix it. Will try to remember for next release
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
And btw for those being an arse about shaky's work. Things happens behind closed doors as well not everything is being released to the public. Also not everyone have the same patience with the same questions. I as a teacher have to have patience, but I can understand how ppl get frustrated.

Shaky was the first one that got sense booting. He's also working much more organized and cleaner then I would, this is also one of the reason there is fewer updates. He also have contributed ALOT for ASOP rom's.

I might take a look on the sense ROM as well but since I got 0 experience in sense I would need help. It's a bigger chance that shaky would have gotten it done. If any experienced sense devs want to help then contact me. And I'll clear it with shaky that it's okey that others collaborate as well.
[Desire Android Development] Lonely_Boz:
I've flashed this ROM successfully. First of all thanks for this ROM. It's really amazing, thank you Sandvold.

[Desire Android Development] meno69:
And don't forget to submit a pull request!
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Thus any discussions about SLCD are a waste of time and user preference has a priority over design, while AMOLED needs blacker interfaces unless the user really likes the white ones. As for further information, Wikipedia is a good first check then the rest of the net. Most of the power is of course used by active electronics, backlight, capacitive touchscreen (a very power hungry and precise instrument), video components, both chipset, data link and LCD array, and the low power usage for the CPU/chipset.

I still like the white gtalk/gmail/calendar and would love to have similarly white apps for phone, contacts and settings... like Sense, except without the fluffy bull****.

Nikez is a pretty solid ICS ROM. I have very little trouble with it.
[Desire Android Development] facade:
I had this problem before with CM7.2. Not sure what the root cause is but the led started working again after I re flashed the rom. Led had stopped working even in the camera.

| If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying |
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Actually both this one and BCM are better and faster than Nikez (I have tried them all). I don't have trouble with either of them. But they all have their little issues and they all need some more work to reach a good GB rom in terms of speed. So, from this aspect, it is too soon to speak and bother with Jelly Bean 4.1.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The cm team have said that any device that can run ics should be able to run jellybean, as it isn't a big resource change (like gb to ics was)...

Preludedrew (member of evervolv) has already tweeted that jellybean has been synced, so I guess the merges will start shortley... It will be a very big job though, so I wouldn't expect it soon...

[Desire Android Development] burningwipf:
yes play store looks the same, if you look at its version number its the new one.

if you want the modded Gmaps just extract the .apk from the zip-file and try to install it or move it to /system/apps with the root-explorer of your choice
[Desire Android Development] :
I can't find the .apk, where is it located?
[Desire Android Development] burningwipf:
Beta_0.15.0.1.zip -> customize -> maps -> Maps.apk

BCM one was borderline awful (on my phone)

Sandvold's was great right up til 0.15 for me
[Desire Android Development] thpoul:
Is it just me or the Signal strength is really bad in 0.15.0.1?
[Desire Android Development] :
Thanks a lot, so I assume that I will be stuck on this patched version of Maps and I cannot update to the latest market version AND retain patched functionality?

For Android 4.1 will be no update from AOKP because the hardware of the Desire Bravo will be too old

(In dutch:

Ook AOKP heeft een reactie gegeven op de vraag of en wanneer het team aan de slag gaat met Jelly Bean. AOKP is inmiddels bijna toe aan Milestone 6 die, net als CM9, gebaseerd is op Android 4.0. Ook AOKP heeft aangegeven zodra deze nieuwe versie afgerond is (M6) ze na een korte rustperiode aan de slag gaan met een Jelly Bean-versie van deze custom ROM. Ook hebben ze aangegeven dat er wel een aantal toestellen zullen zijn waar ze geen support meer voor geven door onder andere gedateerde hardware. Deze toestellen zijn:

HTC Incredible (inc)

HTC Desire (bravo)

HTC Evo 4G (supersonic)

Amazon Kindle Fire (otter)

)

English:

AOKP also has a response to the question whether and when the team started with Jellybean. AOKP is nearly to Milestone 6 which, like CM9, based on Android 4.0. Also AOKP indicated when this new version is completed (M6) after a short rest to work with Jellybean version of this custom ROM. They also indicated that there are some units where they will be no more support for it among other outdated hardware. These devices are:

HTC Incredible (inc)

Desire (Bravo)

HTC Evo 4G (supersonic)

Amazon Kindle Fire (otter))

Just a quick thank you to the development and testing team. You made my Desire last for 12 months longer than it normally would have.

I'm two weeks into my ownership of a brand spanking new GNexus and I eagerly awaiting the JB OTA.

The trusty Desire still has some life left in her as a WiFi hotspot so I still may on occasion test out your builds.

Thanks again.
[Desire Android Development] bla_laber:
I'm not sure if it is an issue, but perhaps other people have noticed:

when continuing listening to music with the new musicplayer apk, everything works in the beginning. but when the first title is finished, it pauses the playback and I have to hit the playbutton again - every time. No big deal though, but I noticed it =)

I'm on beta 0.15.0.1, everything stock except aGPS patch.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
it's amazing that people aren't just randomly spamming that thread with crap like they do with threads here
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
You should make a playlist first then play it.
[Desire Android Development] bla_laber:
Formerly, this wasn't necessary. I choose an album which I want to listen to. After I paused the playback and started again to listen to, the music app "remembered" that I was listening to that certain album.

Now it seems it just remembers the last played song and stops after that. But if I hit play again, it remembers again the whole album and plays it correctly..

Sandvold- I know you've got a lot on your developing plate at the moment but a quick question. With Jellybean's source code being released and people making rather basic roms (they're using what they have at the moment which isn't much), do you have any plans on updating your ICS rom to Jellybean when some of the kinks of the current one are ironed out? Just curious as to what the future of the Desire has in store rom wise since you've one of the devs who have extended my Desire's life :P
[Desire Android Development] addemod:

[Desire Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Although I haven't noticed so big difference between Sandvold's ICS beta and the last CM7 I had 7.1.0, CM was better, I think it's unfair to compare two different roms. CM is GB and Sandvold's is ICS...

Maybe I am wrong but I think this fact alone is a key reason not to compare these two roms!
