@Sandvold; congratulations for getting the most noob filled thread on XDA...

@Noobs;

For those complaining about the Notification pull down, that is discussed here in the 200ish page range. This is what this ROM is based off so read this for any issues, funnily enough it was linked a few pages back... The notification is how the Evervolv team want it and they will change it to what they want. If you're not happy with it change to another ICS ROM.

For a2sd; don't install any apps before installing a2sd, of course your apps will disappear as it is symlinking over the top of your apps, even if it was m2sd and flagging, the same thing will occur. For using other a2sd methods (not inbuilt) these are not supported, I repeat, not supported. They may work partially, but for full compatibility use the inbuilt. FYI; xdata is essentially the same as Amarullz as it moves the entire /data partition to SD-EXT.

Camera; the camera for 0.3.9 and 0.3.10 was based on a 2.6... kernel, AFAIK the new kernel is based on 3.0, so of course there are going to be issues, which the OP is fully aware of.

For those requesting videos, screenshots, does this/that work etc... it takes me literally 90 seconds to do a nandroid backup, then possibly 60 seconds to flash the ROM after a full wipe. I did this yesterday while at work to test the ROM, was not happy with it, so I flashed back to my nandroid backup. All up it took me 10 minutes. If these devs spend hours of their time developing this for us, the least you can do is honour their work and try it for yourself.

/HELP (some people may call it /rant...)
[Desire Android Development] bmbaker:
Please everyone this is a developer thread for ics- desire not a how to or it don't work help thread! There is all the information you need in the very first page! It includes links for your viewing pleasure and yes there is also a search function! It gets too noisy for the devs with all this chatter!!!
[Desire Android Development] DabuPL:
As smooth as on the newest phones. No lag at all. But there's a problem - sometimes it renders very slow, so you have to wait a while. OCing to 1113 MHz.
[Desire Android Development] Miles Prower:
Well, the camera app DOES show a preview… kinda.

Launch it, press the Power Button to lock the phone, and you'll see some (garbled) stuff on the lock screen.
[Desire Android Development] amarullz:
As I said before, the performance improvement wasn't caused by hwa, but because color depth was dropped to 16bit, it still processed by cpu but the number of data to be calculated was smaller 50%, and performance will faster 200%, but quality will drop so much...

the camera apps not works because it draw directly in screen with 32bit data, but display was in 16bit. so it will distorted..

But I hope I am wrong, and the 16bit fix will come soon ;)

video

I'm about to record a video of this rom in action for those who would like to see it in action before flashing it. If people have things they would like to see could you PM me within the next hour or so and I'll try and get it in. I'll try to get this up within a couple of hours.

EDIT: Video is up at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQXtPifNWzk

Took way to long to render and upload.
[Desire Android Development] Thömy:
It isn't based on 3.0.
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Stop being so greedy, this is an ics rom development thread. Its in beta, this release was a great progress forward.

Wait for stable release for all e other features u miss.
[Desire Android Development] sroy001:
Apex launcher is smoother then the stock one installed in RC 4... there's no lag at all in the app drawer.. OC to 1152 with smartassV2
[Desire Android Development] Wekkel:
Interesting theory, but Chrome BETA requires HWA. It wasn't working in previous roms, now it is. HWA or something else happening?
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Color depth is definitely dropped but hwa must be workin
[Desire Android Development] Mastermarks:
Someone should post a long video showing the hwa and the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] gastrella:
i have read everything before doing a2sd i have tried moving dalvik without moving dalvik but i can't install more than 20 app
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
Was fun testing 0.4.0 and full hwa! But since I need working viewfinder for the camera I'm back on 0.3.9 for a bit longer. Keep up the exciting good work w this rom!
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
In the time it would take someone to record, upload etc.... you could have taken a nandroid of your current rom and flashed this and tried it for yourself.

XDA is crazy these days, either people will not read ANYTHING about a rom before they flash it, or they want other people to spend 10x longer taking vids etc than it would actually take to flash it. Have people lost the ability to make an educated decision and think for themselves?

M.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
And sometimes it is hard to bear....
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Someone try to put gallery widget on the screen, you'll see some cool gfx effects. :D

Anyways great ROM, the full HWA is really impressive - kudos to anyone who got it working on Desire.

could you explain what need to be changed in framework.jar to get full hw working?

Read the first post again, this is already in use. The first post on your linked thread even mentions the Desire as a supported device.

Can you do "df" and post the output here? Maybe "mount" also.

[Desire Android Development] henrikmon:
Really nice build. Running the RC and overall it's working really well. Some bugs that has been spoken of several times (camera, random crashes, etc).

I can't wait until it gets more stable and the camera (I take alot of photos with my phone) is working fine. Feelin' a bit sad going back to 2.3 after using the beautiful UI of ICS.

A thing I was wondering about was the "OK" button. When typing the PIN the "OK" button is on the right side. All the other ROM's including Stock Rom I've tried the "OK" button is on the left hand side. The same thing when uninstalling an application. Is this new for ICS or is it the developers who have changed it?

Keep up the good work and thanks alot for doing this for us fellow HTC Desire users!

Hi,

One ICS feature for the “not working“ list:

Encryption

I think it is one of the most important features between GB and ICS.

The color quality in the latest build seem to be poor. Anyone know why?

Its only 16-bit look at last page.

Did u remember to get su first?

there is a flashable camera.zip coming from 0.3.9 to flash so try to make camera working?

Just wanted to say thanks soo much for RC1 the difference is really unreal. A breath of life into my old phone. Cant wait for the bugs to be smoothed out. Loving ICS and thanks so much for all the hard work.
[Desire Android Development] quark1980:
im loving the rom so far.

great work so far :)

im going to use it for everyday use in this stage to see how the battery holds up for now...

i disabled the autoratation, it made the phone freeze in some occasions...

the camera will get fixed soon, so i can wait :P

however, the one thing i encountered i didnt expect, was the market dissapearing...

it happend to me after fiddeling with a2sd..... not sure what i did, to make it go away :S

reflash solved this for me....

Can anyone tell me how to add Greek language for keyboard; it's not on the supported languages, but I know that cm9 build has Greek characters. So I was wondering if it's possible to pull it from another ics build and add it to this one. By the way, really impressed by the passion and the efforts the devs are putting on this rom. Only bugs are already listed from my side, but the 16 bit depth is really poor and noticeable.

[Desire Android Development] Malandro2011:
Just adding my own experiences.

I came from 3.8 to the latest 4.0RC1

Did a full factory wipe etc

Seems to respond slower to touch.

Stock browser is slower and has crashed a few times

Has rebooted a few times randomly (never did on 3.8)

Able to install Chrome browser but keyboard doesn't come up - Appears then goes away

Might flash it again just in case..

But still happy that it's getting there.. :)
[Desire Android Development] basher52:
Same here, reboot fixed it for me.
[Desire Android Development] Noitora:
Downloading from the Market is really slow. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Anyone know how to get video playback working nicely with this ROM. Seems to be suffering same problems as camera.

Can anyone tell me if in the new versions there is still some lag on opening the app drawer?
[Desire Android Development] sjknight413:
nope, it is smooth as anything :)
[Desire Android Development] Salem24:
Sure. Crashes is the wrong word. Terminal emu doesn't do anything. It's not really freezing. I can type things in, add new tabs, close them. But it's kinda freezing. When screen goes off I can't turn it on anymore.
[Desire Android Development] Conch411:

Do someone know what it means?

Thanx
[Desire Android Development] poebae:
For those having problems with auto rotation, or frustrated with limited launcher options, I highly recommend Nova Launcher.

IMO it should be the default launcher for this rom too, until things get ironed out. Makes it much more customisable and usable.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Because of all those request me and andreigherghe worked a bit on some more customization. If everything goes as planned I'll upload a version where you can choose between nova, apex, trebuchet and stock launcher + should work for both stock and cm7r2 hboot. (will add data++ later).

It's just a test thing, if ppl like it and it doesn't get to much questions to ad new features and stuff like that we'll probably release most ROM's like that from now on, so you can customize whatever you want without removing and adding .apk's .

If we can make it work we'll add a2sd scripts this way as well.

For more info search for aroma installer
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Try "Apex launcher"

No lag in app drawer. Absolutely certain that's its smooth.

As for market its super laggy.
[Desire Android Development] tabon:
i totally agree
[Desire Android Development] Nikog:
Hi, how can I stop Adds? Addsfree doent work.

Abot the Exchanche mail - how can I make schedule like in 2.3? - check for mails in working days Push and in non-working days once a day?

[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
That would be fantastic and maybe reduce a lot of the requests for help on here. Once thing: if it is possible, could you add an option to flash the % battery when installing?

(yes, I know it's ironic to ask for help when talking about a new installer that should reduce the request for help....:D).

Thanks for all your hard work on this ROM.

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] alphagamma:
Very very nice rom and already very stable on my desire. thanks!

I only have a little problem with a2sd, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/app are both stored on the /sd-ext partition with the buildin a2sd but the size is still counted towards /data if I look at the df output. Also andoid shows the apps still being counted towards the internal storage in the storage menu.

So at the moment if I install an app from the market it already complains about insufficient memory. Is this normal behaviour for a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Personally I'd suggest Zeam launcher, it's more 'basic' for if you don't want all the Sense crud anyway you'll love it. 800kb and super fast!
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
AdFree is working for me. try checking 'Use /data/data/hosts symlink' and 'Create symlink if required' (second one will auto-uncheck after download&install)
[Desire Android Development] aritrea:
great idea! aroma is just perfect for this purpose.

but dont forget to mention that a touch recovery is recommended when using aroma :)

@Nikog:

have you already tried AdAway?

Choosing launcher + finding right hboot works, only need to implement a standard a2sd script for the cm7r2 hboot and we're good to go. Will probabaly be later today since I'm at work atm
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
Can I recommend perhaps updating the new installer etc. and releasing maybe a 0.3.11 and 0.4.0RC1?

0.3.11 could be using either the 0.3.9 camera or if anyone found a fix, the fix for the 0.3.10 camera crashing that many experienced in 0.3.10? Just a thought so we have a nice stable nonHWA version for people who need the camera until it is fixed in the HWA version

but thanks for all the effort being put into making this a great rom :)
[Desire Android Development] amarullz:
Who said it? It was wrong.. look at aroma thread 1st post.

users may think that because it works with touch screen, it should use touch recovery. But itwas wrong. It's only need recovery with kernel that include touch driver.. almost any recovery included it.. and even the touch screen doesnt works (in worst case), it still works with keys.

cwm recovery, default revolution recovery, 4ext classic/touch was supported.

@sandvold: if you had any problems, or help, just contact me.. i will be happy to help you...
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:
Can i request help too? :rolleyes: Remember we're both working on the ROM with Aroma :D

what i notice in 0.4.ORC1 ics Update

hello, my desire working with ICS 0.4.0RC1, well until now working more or less.

of course 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

I notice another situation when I look for the network 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, but well 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.

the other annoying feature that i notice, regarding navigation, not any problem with google maps, but using tmn drive, or Ndrive, it lets me go to the program it finds the gps,

but in this programs if i put one direction to go it lets me see the place in the map, but if i click in navigation it stays still for a while and then it closes and exit the program.

so by now I’m unable to navigate with my phone.

any idea how to solve this?

apart from this great work so far by sandvold, and all the gays evolved.

still testing when I’m able if notice anything else i post it, and if anyone has a solution well .... i would be grateful

But by now very nice, some features don’t work yet but I believe soon they will be running in new updates. :D

try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466516&highlight=agps

it helped for me ( I used 3.x google specific cwm flashable zip)

@sandvold - maybe you could put a link on first / second post or something to this for if people experience issues with GPS they could try AGPS fix?

I read it helped for some people - I know for me it helped my google navigator get a fix on GPS pretty quick so it might be worth a go :)
[Desire Android Development] Malandro2011:
Had to go back to 3.10 after I found that I couldnt install anything from the market, too many reboots, slow/crashing stock browser, laggy UI.

3.10 works so much better for me.. dont know why..

Will keep checking for updates though.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
amarullz, thx will do cause I'm probably gonna need it:) But seems like a fantastic system.

About making a 3.11 version, 3.9 and 3.10 is pretty much identical, difference is that barcode scanner works in 3.10, but 3.9 is reported to be faster and less problems with.

aGPS fix is included in next release.

Hi Steffen,

First suggestion would be to read the expected bugs listed in the changelog of RC1.

Second suggestion would be to read a few of the previous pages to your post.
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:

[Desire Android Development] aritrea:
i said that, no official statement. obviously i was wrong then

anyway, then its worth to mention that it might not work with touch but with hard keys. just wanted to prevent people from spamming "my touch does not work blabla" :)
[Desire Android Development] nero pinto:
Thanks, for the help i notice it fixes gps a lot faster! So that´s an improvement 

But still have the same problem, I don’t know why but the problem for me is that it fixes the satellites, it lets me see the street or location that I chose, so maps are ok, but when I press navigate it stays still for a while then the program crashes.

I know that the problem isn’t of the software since it is free here in Portugal I already use it and I’m able to install a fresh copy directly from the market, so the problem must be in some conflict with the new rom, well hope for new development to bring some improvements in this situation.
[Desire Android Development] yorkshiretyke:
This thread would be a hell of a lot shorter if ppl read things first!
