Its called Buttonremapper but it doesn't support to remapp the multitasking panel. The function for this was introduced in ICS.

I got it that far that i had multitasking on the search key but it was just the old gingerbread recently used app panel.

I changed in the bravo-keypad.kl

key 217 SEARCH

to

key 217 APP_SWITCH

To get the ICS multitasking panel, we need to do this android.policy.jar mod.

Does anybody have a working build system of Sandvolds ICS on his computer and could compile a new android.policy.jar with modded source code?

Update one reboot so battery stats is wrong. But 18h on heavy use (fa cup final so a lot of updates) and stull 44% battery left. If more ppl can reproduce such results this will be the stock option
[Desire Android Development] TheYang:
no noticeable drawbacks?

nice!
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
mines up 8% on same usage at same time as yesterday with the battery mod, it's doing a job without doubt
[Desire Android Development] siavash2death:
well,some how i managed to install and boot the rom.but 2 things are strange:1-my rom has 2 gallery app! 2-rom doesn't recognize my wifi!
[Desire Android Development] moss20:
if sandvold doesn't fix the double gallery problem,it's a common bug..

wifi connection : try dchp mod...some post before there was a flashable zip but now there's an option on aroma installer for dchp..

hope my post was correct and useful...
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
been following this thread keenly for some time, finally got round to just trying it out in between upgrading MildWild's oxygen.

must say i was very impressed! look forward to seeing it developed even further!

i noticed a few of you have been trying out a battery mod from here?

have any benefits been measured in any way, such as a comparison of mA drain before and after doing the same thing? or is it just that noticeable?

i'm a little sceptical, particularly after what thalamus had to say, and he's usually right

yet to try it myself...just wondering about some early reports from other desire users.
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
well none of us have seen any decrease (so far) . He has point that theoretically it should affect something negatively) but he has been extremely pretentious over explaining so he can go f*ck himself lol.
[Desire Android Development] island3r:
This battery mod is sort of like the new "wipe battery stats to get better battery life".

It may work here because the kernel is highly unoptimized, but on any GB rom I don't think it can help at all. Personally I tried it on CM7.2 & Oxygen and in both roms battery drain actually increased.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
+1, thalamus is right. Not to say that means drewis has made a crap kernel, more that all the amazing work he has done is focussed on other things then minor battery optimisations.

Any gb kernel (such as the great ones by thalamus himself) should be optimised much better, and your results show that. Same as v6 supercharger or any ram/battery script, if kernel is optimised it does nothing useful really. But there's always the placebo effect too...
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I don't think its 10times better but for me it have used less battery then before. Haven't had any performance issues either.

I would say it gives 10-15% better battery for me, but the biggest help for me was getting the brightness issue under control
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
The tenfold in the thread title is a ridiculous statement. I can drop my battery use twentyfold by leaving it in deep sleep as opposed to using it :) 10-15% sounds much more feasible, when used with non fully optimised kernel.

Edit: Just for arguments sake, my phone uses ~1% per hour in standby, ~15% while being used. So unless I can get a month on standby or two days of screen on time, its not tenfold :p

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] :
You are completely misusing the word pretentious there. My post was to the point, perhaps slightly harsh, but pretentious, definitely not. A pretentious post would have been 'This is crap, don't bother with it.' without explaining the reasoning behind my criticism.

Normally telling someone something they have done is a waste of time and / or a complete load of garbage is a recipe for them to take offence, however you word it.

I was simply explaining that it wouldn't do anything to save battery and that it may well cause a performance decrease and will *certainly* cause reduced interactivity, which is entirely correct and any reasonably knowledgeable person with access to the linux kernel documentation and knowledge of the Android VM would come to the same conclusion.

I even took time out of my life to go to the trouble to explain why so people wouldn't waste their time with it.

If you really want pretentiousness, the finger should be pointed at the people that come out with these ridiculous claims in the first place, not the people who debunk the placebo myths. ;)
[Desire Android Development] tonyp:
But in the same way it could be a performance increase which could lead to a better battery life. (if the CPU finishes a job faster it can step down earlier which does save battery). Several people here reported a better battery life, and it most certainly isn't wrong to tweak these values, the why is even explained in the linked thread.

It may be a hoax but it shouldn't lead to a performance decrease. For my phone I have a highly optimized kernel which does set similar values in the init script - and as some people pointed out the desire kernels aren't heavily tweaked.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I just have to say Thalamus has done more than enough for the community to be told to go fck himself.

Given his reputation and experience I'm totally agreeing with his comments on the battery mod. I personally haven't noticed any significant battery gain using the batt mod for last two charges.

I already said that it seemed to me like phone and touch responds more quickly, but without an exact benchmarking I cannot say that for sure, might be just a placebo.

It's people like you with comments like that that drive good and experienced devs off the xda and off development.

If you can't be respectful for the guys that spend their free time in developing something you can use for free than just stfu.
[Desire Android Development] gastrella:
i've seen my friend's ics rom of htc desire z and in setting menu he have got two fabulous options

1)long press back button to close the application

2) disable boot image

this two options can be added to our menu?
[Desire Android Development] PatrikSelin:
"Installation aborted"

What should I do?
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
More details? Are you sure your zip file of the ROM is good? The size of mine is 188.515 KB. Have you done a wipe and tried again?
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
And that's the only thing in your screen ? No other errors besides that ???
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
First of all, I love this ROM, keep up the awesome work!

Need help with a bug though:

Does anyone else experience this? (see screenshot attached)

It happened twice today I found my Desire was dead, unresponsive, after battery pull boots up fine.

Specs:

-Beta 0.6.1.1

-a2sd (built in) , 1 gb and 0 swap , cache to sd, data not.

-stock kernel, drew 2.6.38.8

-patches: GPSa, dhcp patch, gmaps

-disabled notif toolbox

-cpu governor: ondemand min@384 , max@998

-installed battery MOD (2nd charge since, 40% brightness manual)

-installed ROM after full wipe/cache/dalvick, cleared cache & dalvick after install

-fixed permissions

-adata 16gb class 10 sd (formatted, partitioned as per sandvolds faq)

-radio: 5.17.05.23

Note: the first time I installed this ROM it was on my stock 4gb sd and I did the typical installation which was more stable imo but slower in response. Is the obvious advice here to, re-flash with the typical settings? Any help much appreciated!
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
It's a known one and if you had bothered with the search you'd notice that stock drewis + ondemand = bsod.

Change kernel or governor
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
I did bother and seen posts about it but I thought i was with the other kernel. Thank you for your reply.

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Just some advice to everyone here, if you want new releases/patches/whatever I'd advice you to go to IRC as I need testers - I've been asking for testers for a few days now. It's annoying that I have to search for testers. I mean, I am doing this for you.

Which Thalamus kernel are you running?

[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
All your hard work is much appreciated, but I think one of the things that puts people off becoming a tester is the requirement to be able to produce logs. I know there are plenty of guides out there on how to do this using ADB, but is it possible to do this with an app like Logcat?

I also know that is isnt the proper forum to have a full logcat/adb tutorial, but can anyone explain if this is possible using an app or a simple method?

I'm sure that would bring forth many more testers..

Once again though, thanks for all your help developing this ROM.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I see your point.. I could write you something to get you started if you'd like that?

I am guessing that you use Windows?
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
I have just set my laptop up to do logcat but got to go to bed now here's the info I used LINK Hope it helps!
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
If you could produce a guide for Windows, that would be great. Thanks.

Could you point me to the script and what it does? I tried to search for it but had no luck.

I'll ad it to first post when ifinaly get to a hotel with internet. Would be useful for a lot of ppl especially when we always ask for logcat to solve a prop;)
[Desire Android Development] Boyeah04:
I don't think the battery mod agrees with my phone. Since using it the phone struggles to wake up. The lights with light up, but there is no response. It is especially bad if I reboot and then try to use the phone straight away. It actually just freezes until I pull the battery. Thalamus posting about this in the battery mod thread.

Also with the brightness issue. I have found that if you have the brightness toggle in notification bar added, if it is set to auto brightness and some with brightness in settings and the phone is rebooted the auto brightness is no longer on. It just reverts back to the brightness setting on the slider bar. To stop this I had to remove the brightness toggle from the notification bar.

A question to the stock kernel developers:

I cannot find a interface like vdd table for svs and havs aosp kernels (e.g. Tiamat, ManU) on stock kernel, so I assume there is no way to change the kernel CPU voltages after installation?

Would it then be possible to make a kernel with overvoltage? On havs kernels I used following table, would be cool to have a kernel with the min voltages from this table.

I was also trying to get a logcat while bsod .. just I never had a bsod while connected to computer.

Any idea how reliable is the app alogcat?

I had a logcat from it while bsod - nothing interesting, it just stopped logging and froze doing normal stuff ..
[Desire Android Development] _snIP3r_:
hi sandvold!

first: thx for the great job your doing!!!

beta 0.6 seems to run very stable on my desire so far!

no spontaneous reboots so far.

version: beta 0.6

hboot: stock

a2sd script: stock

full wipe: yes

kernel: tiamat-ics-031412

also battery life is better than before. in my case about 2-3 days...

thx

[Desire Android Development] Pete_79:
Been off for a few days, trying to catch up with the tread, but as soon as i came across these posts i just had to reply. I really want better battery time.

Im running Beta 0.6

Amarullz A2SD

Tobby_d's Kernel fix for 0.6 and conservative CPUGov

Still kinda crappy batterytime tho, around 12-14 hours.

And the phone also feels a bit laggy and slow.

My thought was, change to CM7 r2 HBOOT and NOT use any a2sd script to make the phone faster. And then flash 0.6.1.1.

But Tobby_d, where do i get the kernel u are using, and can i flash it after i flash 0.6.1.1?

Sorry if this is answered anywhere else in the thread.

/Peter
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
That's useful, thanks, and I'll give it a go.

One thing; when using the phone I sometime get a freeze or a random reboot. What do I do then? Connect the phone to the PC and use adb logcat? Or do I restart it and then do it? Or is it the case that you have to be connected to the PC and already running the logcat already?
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
Logcat is running while connected to the PC via usb after the phone has started booting - so you can already record the booting process. But for recording you have to stay connected to the computer.

As an alternative to be always connected to a PC, there are also apps like alogcat available in playstore, which you can let logcat into a file on your phone - I just don't know how reliable they are.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Try rising your min frequency to 384 MHz and use ondemand governor - gives me a really good battery lifetime.

Kernel is from this post:

I think it started for me around the same time i started to use the latest drewis/toddy_d kernal, but the phone would after a lack of response would come on after a short while.

I used a2sdx in aroma and after successfully installing some apps from the Google Play store, everything I try and install after downloading says "Package is invalid"! It happens no matter how many times I try and install the apps.

After fixing permissions and scanning for errors in 4EXT (said sd ext (1GB ext 4) had errors and then fixed them) nothing is different.

When I cleared both caches, it allowed me to install about 3 more before the errors appeared again, but clearing the caches again makes no difference!

Can anyone help please?

uploading a new version now, some changes and a bit more stable

No luck sorting video out yet. I think it's codec related but I don't know why it got ruined between 0.5.x and 0.6 but that's the main priority to fix. At the moment just download another camera app like this and it should work for now. Will updated first post as soon as it's uploaded:

browser features (incognito / max tabs)

notification toolbox brightness widget fixes

kernel update: sleep of death seems resolved, built inline with googles gcc per*https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k

camera fixes (rapmv78)

Updated gapps

Freed up some space for data++ (tell me if it's still to small)

Added batterymod (with kernel panic, might be really unstable!)

Readded ad-hoc wifi as an option in aroma (have been unstable for me)

Barcode scanner + panorama should work

It's simple if you symlink app, framework, media, maybe lib or fonts to data. That's how sense Roms do it, and how I used to with miui v4, worked fine on oxygen. Just make the symlink before extracting the folders. Although this way means a data wipe causes bootloop unless you reinstall the Rom, but also means any Rom fits any hboot without removing/moving apks. Also a slow sd card will not like it, obviously.
