HTC DESIRE ICS B0.1.3 Quadrant results

Hi,

my vote goes to the B.0.1.3 version. If seems to be much more fluent, and quicker that the last release (and that was quick).

Quadrant gave release B.0.1.2 a score of 1350 which put just above the nexus one 2.2.

B.0.1.3 gets a score of 1450.

Also with the B.0.1.2 version I was getting many occurrances of "the app appears not be be responding". In this release these seem to be far less frequent.

Worth the upgrade.

P.s.I am using the exact same install/setup process after a total wipe before running the quadrant tests, so the results are comparable and relative.

Looking forward to the next release.

:)
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
1450? I'm getting like 850. Maybe moving dalvik cache to ext-sd wasn't a good idea..

I will say that Tiny Towers and World of Goo run much better then on 1.1.
[Desire Android Development] zakka1da:
yes, yes, I am getting "No download mirrors left, sorry" message. Hope someone can provide cm7r2 version soon, so excited to test new build

Is it possible that GTA3 did not go to Ice Cream Sandwich?
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
It lags on Desire anyway mate.
[Desire Android Development] dragonithe:
for me the .1 version seems quicker than the .3, I haven't tested the .2
[Desire Android Development] Geraldius:
can anyone tell me if there is less battery drain in 0.1.3 compared to 0.1.1? i think it may be the same cause battery drain is mostly kernel related. right?

please correct me if i am wrong!
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Did not notice any noteworthy difference in battery drain. You are right, battery drain is usually related to kernel.

Hi all,

Using ICS already since it came out and just downloaded 1.0.3.

In this build the quicksettings in the dropdown menu are gone... but I liked them so much. Is there an alternative in the market, which works on ICS?

Or do I have to get back to 1.0 to get them back??
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
It was removed since 0.1.1

Battery seems the same to me.

Sent from ICS on Desire.
[Desire Android Development] rferrerca:
The speaker is so so so so low...cant know if they call me...
[Desire Android Development] ciprigeorgiu:
did you change the ringtone? the default is silent.
[Desire Android Development] rferrerca:
Yes i did. It also happens with music...is working well 4u?
[Desire Android Development] elcom:
Had the same problem.

The volume was on maximum, and still I could barely hear ringtones and notifications.

Rebooting fixed it.
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
Hmm world of goo was working earlier, now it's not. Anyone else on 1.3 can try?

Sent from ICS on Desire.
[Desire Android Development] sjknight413:
great release sandvold! 0.1.3 is so fast and smooth.

the only thing stopping me from using it is that i am still unable to restore apps with titanium backup!
[Desire Android Development] Draciel882:
I have the same problem but rebooting didn't fix it. Anything else I can do?
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
I had no volume problem with Beta 0.1.1 and 0.1.2... but now with 0.1.3...

Reboot did not solve the problem, so i wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery and now everything is fine again...
[Desire Android Development] sydbarrett55:
Normally, it's only for CyanogenMod7 so I do not think it can work with this ROM.

[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
I will try to wipe cache and dalvik. :) Thanks for tip.
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
Anyone else having problems with games? World of goo either doesn't start or if I have HW forced on it reboots the phone. Worked fine in 1.2 and 1.1.

Missing calendar on cm7r2 hboot

hy people, i can live without camera, maps.. but CALENDAR!! no way! any patch to install calendar for cm7r2?
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
hmmm my sound isn't working still. I am searching thread for possible answers.
[Desire Android Development] RealyPssd:
Sorry if it's been mentioned, but what are the differences between stock and cmr2 versions?

Anything missing from the cmr2 version?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Maybe just some apps so it can fit onto table. I reccomend stock.
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
Thanks to all working on this rom. very exciting to to be able to try android 4.0 on our legendary desires :cool:
[Desire Android Development] kaasaanfiets:
Thanks.

Mabye something for the TS?

This is how i got the script to work, by default it doesnt do anything.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Here you go

M.
[Desire Android Development] jbozic1:
yep :) I agree
[Desire Android Development] RealyPssd:
Thanks for the info.

If I a nandroid backup of my oxygen 2.3.2 install right now, on cmr2 hboot, switch to stock Hboot, I should be able to restore the backup without any problems shouldn't I?
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Using AnTuTu (2D and 3D test only) I get 719 with 0.1, 980 with 0.1.2, and 717 with 0.1.3

The logcat is clean, yes. But the driver is slow as hell.

Also I have been checking the logcat for a while now with the old drivers, and the only errors I can find is during boot (A lot of them). After the phone has booted, I don't see all of these errors people are talking about?
[Desire Android Development] mohsinraza:
Awesome. Absolutely outstanding work Devs! It's working like a charm without any FCs. Very stable and fast but I'm going back to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 because I love HTC SENSE.

THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME ROM.
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Has anyone noticed that after few days (3 or 4) without rebooting the phone, hardware keys' light remain either on for ever or off?

Now that I'm writing this the lights are off!!!

What should I do?
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
same problem here
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Just go back to stock. Works great here.
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
libEGL.so from the 0.1.3 rom works a lot better than the one from the 0.1.2 rom. It gives an increase of 70 points. However the rest of the libs from the 0.1.3 rom makes an decrease of more than 200 points.

Solution: Copy libEGL.so from 0.1.3 to the rest of the libs from 0.1.2 and live with the boot logcat errors. The errors stops when the phones is done booting and the performance is a lot better.
[Desire Android Development] St4hli:
really really great work guys!

I hope you'll keep on developing for our one and only HTC DESIRE :) For me, it's the best phone ever ;D

A few comments after (only) 2 hours testing:

-I had one reboot when installing the Facebook App from Market. (I guess it's not your fault, the facebook app is quite ****ty)

-not so zippy and fast like GinverVillain, sometimes laggy

-a2sd ext was 250mb, I prefer 500mb

Everything else was perfect!

Thank you so much for your hard work, I'm really looking forward to see the great results :D

Greetings from Austria.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Great find:) I've been looking for something like that as well. Next question is to find which damn file (if it's posisble we can add to stop the errors).
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
0.1.3 runs much smoother on my device in comparison with two previous versions. There is an annoying bug on call end- the screen turns black and I have to press power & menu (I have menu wake mod) several times in order to regain control over device.

Are you sure that Quadrant is reliable? As far as I know, there are tweaks/hacks that can create unbelievable Quadrant results, yet - the phone is still super slow and unresponsive. For example, some Sense ROMs had better Q. results than Oxygen, but Oxygen was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than all of them in real life. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
haven't tested:) But I know none of them is perfect so all such things need to be checked, several times and in many ways:) I usually do 3 different benchmark 5-6 tries each + get the general feeling of the ROM before I make any assumptions.

So I'll test that out tomorrow and hopefully someone have found out which file that stops errors as well:)
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Great find guys.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
It seems like devs of N1 ICS ROM have found solutions for network strength indicator and trackpad clicking. :)

[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
Hey guys. The rom still works good. But sound call level is too low even in max. Any help ?
[Desire Android Development] itachi1706:
Reboot. This issue has been mentioned and solved many times.
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
And done as well.

Copied one file at a time at checked the Adreno error code on each boot. This is what I came up with.

0.1.2 driver (Err 221)

------------------

copy from 0.1.3

- libc.so (Err 218)

- libui.so (Err 237)

- libgui.so (Gone)

Then I copied libc.so and libui.so from 0.1.2 back to see if libgui.so could do it by itself, and the errors is still gone. But according to the error codes the other two are involved somehow.

One problem though. Benchmark went from 980 to 588 after I copied libgui.so from 0.1.3 (Testing graphics only). So the file has fixed the errors but this file is apparently what is dragging the 0.1.3 driver down i performance.

EDIT:

With all tree files libc.so, libui.so and libgui.so I can get it up to a little over 700. But it is still almost 300 less than with the 0.1.2 files. So if it was possible to fix the libgui.so from 0.1.2 to not generate errors, that would be better.

However. Even with the 300 less points, it fields like this is running the graphics more smoothly. The app drawer does not lack when scrolling past the widget list. It did before.

EDIT2:

Forget it. 0.1.2 with libEGL.so from 0.1.3 has considerable better performance.
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
After extensive testing, I'm sticking with 1.2.

1.2 is more stable for games, oddly enough. I can't get World of Goo Demo to even load fully with 1.3 when dalvik is moved to SD, instead it reboots the phone. While it's not a problem with 1.2.

Sorry, but I don't have time to make a log. I'm using the Darktremor script with the gui to move dalvik, maybe someone else can try it on their phone?
[Desire Android Development] Ja-be:
Another sound level bug report incoming, with full details.

Yesterday evening, right before going to bed, I did following three things:

Reboot

Install two app updates (and run these apps shortly)

Plug in charger

This morning the sound level was bugged. Reboot this morning fixed it. I've been running this (amazing) Rom since Alpha and experienced this bug three times, two times after days of usage and experimenting, today after 10 hours of solid sleep. I'm running Amarullz' sdext, but I doubt it has something to do with this bug. I've been following this thread the whole time.

So it seems the bug occours completely randomly.

Heh. For now I've added vibration to my alarms.
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Actually it has to do with the sdext script. This occurs for people who moves dalvik-cache to the sdcard. A better solution is to make a small trim of the /system partition to fit the data++ hboot and then leave the dalvik-cache in the /data partition and only move /data/app to sdext.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Thx for great work and accurate pintpointing. now we can look on why this happens:)

For ppl wondering how they can help in the future,THIS is textbook for how to help us in a good way.

1.finding a problem 2. finding a fix 3. Further troubleshooting 4. attempt fix 5. testing the gix 6. reporting
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
I should also mention that using 0.1.2 with libgui.so and libui.so from 0.1.3 does not only affect performance. Some times it stops at a blank screen when opening apps. I have to make a force close using the back button and wait for the close dialog to appear. 0.1.2 with libEGL.so from 0.1.3 does not have this problem.
[Desire Android Development] Ukiand1:
OTA

Here's an OTA from Nexus S i hope it'll help in future porting...

http://www.srbodroid.com/vesti/update/gsm-nexus-s-dobio-ics-za-koji-dan/
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Been posted several times. The Desire has no common hardware with the Nexus S, so it's not really much use to us.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Ja-be:
OK, thanks for the clarification. The general gist I picked up from this thread was that DT's script causes this bug, but amarullz' not. Nevertheless it's a strange, random bug.

updater link

Giving a "File not found"

anyone got an alternative?
[Desire Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks for a nice beta, v0.1.3 works really well in this early stage, personally, I never run any benchmarks but had to try now when that was in the rom.

Only thing I changed is the kernel, put together a own kernel based on CM-Kernel and added smartassV2 changed the clock frequencies to 245/1113/ MHz .

if anyone wants to try the kernel you can download it here >>> www.elelinux.se/desire/2.6.37.6@Desire-Kernel-Build37-ICS.zip
[Desire Android Development] stuben32:
I have tried world of goo demo and it works OK on .1.3 with no mods
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Hi elelinux,

Flashed your kernel.

Everything works fine so far.

Gonna see how it works over a longer time.

Attached a screenshot from first benchmark.

Thanks and with kind regards

[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
AAHHHH man, again.

It tells me that I am low on memory, but I am not. I am using darktremor apps2sd beta 0.4 with beta 0.1.3 ROM.

Thing is that, when I go to storage section in settings it tells me that i have 11mb only of 148mb total space, but when I go to Apps, it says 82mb used 65mb free.

Don't know what to do.

P.S. Everyone is telling me that if I move dalvik to sd ext my volume will lower.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: I just did reboot and apparently my phone is now showing:

Apps: 84mb used 63mb free

Storage: Apps 104mb available 34.11mb

Weird.
[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
I have rebooted the phone many times. Nothing changes. Sound is still low. Any fix or trick ?
[Desire Android Development] stuben32:
I'm not using a2sd scripts and have a sense boot. just installed world of goo my storage went to 36mb when it was installing and got the warning but when it finished it was back to 115mb and goo was on SD the message then went away
[Desire Android Development] itachi1706:
Try wiping dalvik and reboot. Incidentally which script are you using?
[Desire Android Development] kaasaanfiets:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20410141&postcount=2066
[Desire Android Development] itachi1706:
This is normal. Default A2SD will install everything on the internal memory temporary first, hence the initial low memory warning. After the install it will move all those that can be moved to the sdcard (the libs and apk) which is why it disappeared.
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Okay, I did that and then 93 processes passed, then my phone rebooted. then when i want that cachesd to enter, do I need to enter 'su' again?
[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
I used the script attached 40a2sdx....zip. ill try wipe dalvik now. Thkx
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
With dalvik on internal memory it works, but I'd rather have it on external to free up space. I'll give the combined version being talked about as soon as it's available.

[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
I have wiped dalvik. Still same thing here. Sound is too low. I wonder if it's the previous a2sd in cm7 that i had before ? But i used a2sd killer before installing this rom
[Desire Android Development] ITesAndroid:
Well, it's my first try at installing any unofficial ROM, and I'm pretty pleased with it) Looks nice and smooth, and in fact it works good enough to be used permanently. Great job guys, keep it up!

I just have some issues with the touchscreen - tried installing some games like Angry Birds and Shadowgun, and the touchscreen either doesn't work at all or it works incredibly bad( Like when I touch it with one finger I get no result at all and when I use dual-touch the on-screen buttons stick... Hope it will be fixed soon...

I'm using beta 0.1.3, and before that I had the official 2.2 Froyo with stock hboot, never tried any other ROMs before)
[Desire Android Development] darryl_p:
I am using English UK and have tried the English USA as well and see the following problem in portrait mode.

when typing and using the press and hold to get to the numerals on the top line of the keyboard. it sometimes needs me to then move my pressed finger around to re-highlight the number. so press and hold "t" to show the digit 5. I have to move left about 1cm to get it to fill in the 5. the coordinates seem to be wrong for the selection to what is shown on the screen. I am working around that, but the letter "p" and digit 0. for some reason I can't get the press and hold to select 0 to work.

I had done s complete wipe before installing. so anyone seen this issue?

I know I have to use the "123" special key to type the zero from that keyboard.

[Desire Android Development] stuben32:
I know i was just replying to another members post about being low on space

I love you all guys. Been away for the whole weekend, got 12 pages of catch-up reading now. I read through everything and all I got was loads of repeated question and one (1, ONE) interesting idea to improve the thing. Thank you all.
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Great. What that can be ? hmmm :D
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
This is how it goes in every thread.

Therefore it is unnecessary upset about it...in my humble opinion...
[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
Any solution for sound level guys ?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Don't flash a2sd (or try a wipe and try another one) it's related to the a2sd scripts
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Do you think it is possible to implement the A2SD method used by Kali on CM7 do that we can use S2E to move apps and dalvik to EXT for heavy app ppl like myself.

How much effort would this take?
[Desire Android Development] phazepiracy:
Wich script can i use for mounting ext4 partition ?

[Desire Android Development] siriobasic:
We hope that in future also be implemented for the SIP protocol VoIP calls. I'm using the d2ext and finally there has been no lack of space even if the system is slowed down.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's should be possible even now, best bet is to add it and try it out. At the moment we won't "work" on improving it. All the scripts posted works but they are a bit buggy. We're focusing on using the possibility of extending the data partition natively in the OS instead (it's a built in feature). This will probably the most stable solution.

Most a2sd scripts should work, so please just try out the one you like the best, and post your results
[Desire Android Development] bobbenedetti:
Re potential volume lowering. On build 0.1 I moved (no rebuild) Dalvik to sd ext and got lower volume. On 0.1.2 I moved and rebuilt and volume stayed normal. I hope this helps.

Very fast and stable rom. I wonder what will this be with integration of HTC SENSE...

[Desire Android Development] K900:
Crap. ICS is already great by itself, and Sense has been a gimmick since 3.x
[Desire Android Development] try2:
Totally agree. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] mohsinraza:
Upto one's liking. I hate android without sense. Sense adds flavour to the phone.

Btw, I've just restored the nandroid backup and I'm back to GB. 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0

:-P
[Desire Android Development] try2:
Off subject sorry but if that's your flavour that's ok. For me I'd hate to see Sense and ICS together. Its the main reason I first rooted my Desire to remove it.
[Desire Android Development] rudidu:
Just flashed this ROM onto my phone. Installed a few apps (the essentials - whatsapp and tweetdeck). Both working perfectly.

Was a bit laggy initially but everything is silky smooth now. Really great work! Thank you for all your hard work guys, I've been following this thread from day one! Really appreciate it! You guys are awesome!
[Desire Android Development] mohsinraza:
Any non-htc device can do the job.
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
I have tried S2E, AMARULLZ AD2SDX & DTA2SD.

I have found the smoothest experience with DTA2SD but moving dalvik to SD-EXT lowers volume on all ringtones. Wiping dalvik solves the volume issue but at the cost of space for apps.

Tried rebooting but that fix didn't work for me :D

S2E had this issue, I check the boxes to move apps and dalvik, then I reboot, but for done reason it doesn't execute the command. I attempted this with a fresh instal with no A2SD scripts installed.

Anyway I suppose that in time you guys will find a way to solve the volume issue when moving dalvik to SD-EXT.

Thanks again for the awesome work and continue solving the more pressing issues.
[Desire Android Development] ChiefOHara:
I flashed 0.1.3 yesterday and just wanted to comment on some problems I have experienced:

Screen turns black during calls, so I can't hang up or do anything else

During one call the phone suddenly rebooted

The galery app crashes sometimes when I try to add a new picture to a contact

Apart from that it works smoothly. Great work so far!
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Get used to not having it, because the Desire likely won't be able to run Sense + ICS without major lag issues. The Sense 3.0 ports are already causing some issues with desire, you could only imagine what would happen when you upgrade sense again and also throw in an OS that is heavier on ram usage too.

M.
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
You know that it is possible to like a Device without liking the UI on it right? I hate Sense to (Wastes to much space and resources), but I love the Desire device. I did NOT buy this because of Sense.

However I will properly switch to SE if they keep up this new OpenSource Dev relationship thing they have going on at the moment.
