[Desire Android Development] RolAr:
I always thought certain things were smoother in RC3 than every release after that (including 0.4.1.5). I just flashed RC3 again to see if it was all in my head and I was amazed by the DIFFERENCE. Especially the launcher was so much smoother in RC3, just try and see for yourself.

So my question: what did you guys change going from RC3 to RC5 that isn't on the normal update list?! Was there a Kernel update? Did you stop using HWA to render the launcher in order to prevent the coloring issues, but never changed it back? It's not the 32 bit thing because RC5 was still 16 bits. Or am I doing something wrong? (yes I full wiped, Dalvik too)
[Desire Android Development] thdj:
Yeah, but you know, I'm a lazy guy and I also like to understand why in some case things work and sometime not :)

Does the amora installer delete all files on system/data before installing the new rom ? If yes, then in that case, the file should have be removed before reinstalling it.
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hehehe google is not your friend?? :D

here it is AD2SDX - AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT

at the end' OP you'll read this =>

KNOW BUG
Titanium Backup - Restore the Application Data ( com.android*/com.htc* data )

so I would higly advice not restore data-app's using TB or gettin's FC and lag

(I tried this my self)

hope this help

[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Hey guys, I realized one of the reason why I found cm7 to be faster and smoother was because of enabling 16bit transparency and disabling surface dithering.

16bit transparency made a big difference to smooth scrolling. So could this be added to the rom?

I found no artifacts in cm7, not sure abt ics.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
hm - no thanks, not for me :confused:
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
@williamj1

are you serious? I think there are a lot of other priorities!
[Desire Android Development] slow23:
Also this isn't even a cm9 rom.

Btw it's easy to flash it if it is your only concern...
[Desire Android Development] jopex:
tried flashing on top of 0.4.1.4.. got loads of freezes, talk still did not work...

doing clean install now... is screen rotation reboot resolved in this update?
[Desire Android Development] an430:
I have flashed the 0.4.1.5 from 0.4.1.4

Full wipe and have reinstalled the rom 3 time

There is a flicker in locking screen after the animation (which is gingerbread one)

Is that ok?

Or I download another zip?
[Desire Android Development] redhoerbi:
Same here (wrong hboot detection)
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
I've been for eight hours with the latest version (performed only dalvik and cache wipe coming from v.0.4.1.4).

I wanted to mention that youtube playback is now ok (previously i was having green/purple/red lines covering the screen), but i still have these lines covering the screen on both stock and Chrome browsers.

Does this problem suppose to be solved in latest version (and i may need to perform a full wipe in order to get it worked) or it's still an issue?

Hboot = cm7r2

Version = Beta_0.4.1.5

Full wipe before? = No, coming from 0.4.1.4

A2SD-script = Amarullz

launcher = apex

Sorry for asking, but in my previous post, Fritte_SWE answered that he wasn't encountering such problems...
[Desire Android Development] jopex:
ok, did the full wipe - talk is working now... youtube seems ok.

still reboots/freezes when changing launcher/app screen orientation.

mattman's battery mod works on this ver. as well.

gonna try supercharge script...

cm7r2 - apex - built in a2sd
[Desire Android Development] Kagi01:
just to know.. other ROM have also camera preview working, is so hard to find that problem solve?..
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
I realized yesterday that the partition on my sdcard wasn't properly aligned. I did that today and now using amarullz is way faster than before.

WhatsApp and gReader are still slower than on internal, but the difference is huge.

Just wanted to let you know in case you have similar sd-ext related problems.

Maybe I am gonna go buy a class 4 sdcard. Just to get the best performance out of sd-ext. But then I wonder just how much difference it's going to make.
[Desire Android Development] BMelz:
Other ICS roms with FULL HWA?
[Desire Android Development] Kagi01:
i guess that..

exactly HWA what give more than without it?..
[Desire Android Development] frank36:
camera

than install that rom
[Desire Android Development] Kagi01:
i didn't say "what the bad work are you doin!?" i just asked to know.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
Please don't talk if you don't know what is involved. Other ICS rom are based on this previous release. The last release of this rom is based on last release of Evervolv from Nexus One. After implementing hardware acceleration if came a bug with camera (probably due to library imho). Wait for fix, thank developers and don't complain or suggest anything that other smart developers can thing theirselves.
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
With full HWA all the file resolution and how the hard wear act changes so till we get an update on the files we r stuck with this its better than nth so enjoy what the dev give they are doing geat jobs

Plus all other roms are based on beta 0.3.10 with HWAHack u can check them all u will see that :rolleyes:

Ps just making it clear for u
[Desire Android Development] Kagi01:
probably i used wrong words, i only wanted know the differences between the ROMS thank's for explanation
[Desire Android Development] Malandro2011:
my 2 cents :)

Wiped all and installed the latest with Amarullz and after installing a few apps the low space message came up.

Again wiped all and flashed the ROM but this time I selected stock A2SD, booted once then back to recovery and installed Amarullz script.

This time I've installed more apps and no low space message so far.

But I'm getting many reboots when trying to install anything from Market... probably related to space as well..

Chrome browser is so slow it's unusable.

Stock browser is slow but not as bad a chrome but has frozen and caused reboots a couple of times.

I'm starting to think this phone probably just can't handle ICS :(

Gonna try Stock A2SD now to see how that performs.

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: I thought I'd clear cache and dalvik cache before re-flashing and it felt a bit faster but went to Market to install SetDNS which is only 65kb and it wouldn't download then froze and rebooted :(

EDIT #2: Uninstalled Chrome which obviously made some space and SetDNS installed straight away.

Seems that there is some space limit even by using Amarullz script somehow... just a guess.. I'm not Android ROM tech savvy enough to know though.

I think the limit is around 239-240Mb on my Stock HBOOT.

Stock browser is still too slow to use for me so going back to 3.10 :(
[Desire Android Development] lolitz:
what's the difference betwin hwa & without ? i have lag too...

sorry for my english...
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
In an easy way, maybe something like this:

HWA: Alpha, Chrome Beta works.

Hack: Beta, Chrome Beta doesn't work.
[Desire Android Development] Malandro2011:
I think it's more like

HWA: Can install Chrome but it's too slow to use

Hack: Can't install Chrome but most things work

At least that's my experience.

Does chrome actually work for anyone here?

If so what storage script are you using?
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
it works but its laggy and tends to crash your phone
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
about hwa:

i don't think the main purpose about including "real" hwa is to be able to just install and use chrome beta. with hwa the phone is able to perform some functions faster than without. (in which case the main processor has to calculate all itself)

this means with hwa games are noticeably smoother - which i noticed for example in the game line runner. maybe atm there are still some issues with the kernell port..

(i'm not an expert - correct me if i'm wrong :))

if you want to know it more precisely, ask google)
[Desire Android Development] m4jkee:
Any diferences between launchers?
[Desire Android Development] ZoneX:
Hey guys, I love this ROM.

You know this because sometimes restarts when placed in lsndscape mode.

My question is whether this a restart can be avoided, or by changing launcher .... Are any of the four launchers that that problem??
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
For me the reboots vanished after I aligned my partitions on my sdcard and set up 256 MB swap.

The fastest launcher is probably Apex.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
You guys all realise this is still in alpha, and that even though we have HWA it is a long way off being "complete", with many fixes and tweaks to come yet.

So before you go saying HWA is crap, or the phone can't do it,,,, think about how far this rom has come in a few months. HWA has only been out for a couple of weeks, give them another month and you won't even remember what you were complaining about.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Malandro2011:
I don't think we're complaining.. just sharing experiences.

If we say it's perfect it doesn't help anyone.

If we say that it's slow then people will know it's not ready.

Then we comment on things we try.

Thats all.

I'm still very impressed by what has been done and their time spent on getting ICS to work on our phones.

The installer is amazing :)

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

How do you align the partitions and set up the 256 swap?

Is that in recovery somewhere?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
Not sure if anyone uses GoSMS with pop up notifications but when I type a message from this pop ups its very laggy when typing but typing works as normal when you actually go into the app to reply to a message.
[Desire Android Development] honzikd:
Chrome Beta works for me. My config as below:

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.1.4

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD

Just a note - I've disabled the auto-rotation as it was causing lot of reboots.
[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
how is the NikezUpdateNotifier app used? I cant seem to find it in my app draw after a fresh install...

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.1.5

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD
[Desire Android Development] Undermyoath:
I does work, but not as quick in scrolling as the standard browser.

and guys, if you really want the auto rotation stuff.

Go with apex launcher and the swap partitioin,

I ain't using the auto-rotation, and i ain't missing it at the moment.

For the rest, my Beta 0.4.1.5 with amarullz on cm7/r2 hboot is working out very good, mid-heavy usage, battery like 17 hours. so in normal usage, i think it will be around a day or some what.

Can't wait for the upcoming updates.
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
Easiest way would be with 4ext recovery. It does partitions properly.

You can also hook your sdcard up to your PC and use gparted.
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
If you already have set up your sdcard with an ext partition, can you add swap without having to wipe everything and reformat the card? Im using amon ra 2.0 recovery.
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
Using ADW Launcher EX (considering I bought it when it was $0.10) and had two reboots since before beta 0.3 so far, but none because of the rotation. I'm not saying that it's a perfect solution, but it works for me.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
on the htc nexus one thread @texasice updated to p10 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366897&page=242

any improvements we can gain for 4.2.x? :D

sadly i dont think it includes a camera preview fix but that would be ace if it did
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
Hi,

I made a full wipe yesterday and installed 0.4.1.5 and now I have the playback issue also. I'm gonna revert to an old nandroid backup and investigate this in the old image I had installed. I dont have the problem in the default browser but you mentioned Chrome wich I dont have. It feels like i did have the problem previously but sometimes it doesnt show in youtube for me, only when i have menus up in the youtube playback. Videoplayback in general isnt working anywhere in the phone atm free from the bug.

Isnt it possible to inactivate hardware playback support for video until its fixed? Shuld fix it meanwhile...

But ill revert to my old Nandroid and get back with results...

Trying out latest tiamat kernel (released yesterday I think)...

http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/022112/bravo-tiamat-ics-022112.zip
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
Ok, my old setup had the playback issues with Youtube also. Just that in youtube the phenomenon only occurs when i press the screen to get the HUD up.

The problem isnt only Youtube, its all videoplayback. In the defult Browser i have no distortion atall, not even in flash.

To developers:

Isnt it possible to inactivate hardware support on video playback while the problem is beeing looked into and fixed?
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
looking at the nexus one thread that also mentioned the new kernel most of the tweaks/fixes that texasice put in are in it too - not sure if it will give us anything new though - let us know how it goes :)
[Desire Android Development] Richy Freeway:
Nandroid backup your phone. Install the ROM. See for yourself.

Or don't.
[Desire Android Development] troly:
Ask me a question to: Make thế any to update kernel?: D
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Don't be silly, having someone else waste 20-30 minutes taking a video/uploading/posting etc is a much better use of his own time than spending the 5 minutes to actually flash the rom on his own phone.

How selfish and lazy of you not to consider his request seriously.

/sarcasm
[Desire Android Development] adrimaxi:
Hello,

Just to better understand: is the dev of this rom is still active or not?

I ask because that because of the first post!

Camera problem

Hi there, is there a solution for the camera-blinking problem? (not about the preview, but the camera is unusable as it is blinking). Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
The camera works fine for me, I can take flawless photos but the preview isnt working so you need to shoot blindfolded =)
[Desire Android Development] marco.it:
Previous betas did not have that blinking problem with the camera... Is there any solution?

The rest of the ROM works smoothly.
[Desire Android Development] metalyeah:
Same problem for me :(

Also random reboots
[Desire Android Development] bmbaker:
ya i think that qualifies as being very active :-) :-) nice job on the latest release :-) best so far. cheers
[Desire Android Development] slow23:
Guys, if you need the camera, then

go buy one

revert to

v0.3.10 /09.02/
Better camera (thx again rapmv78)
Barcode scanner now works
Speed tweak is no longer needed, think I've found the best setting and that's included in the ROM
Rom is now possible to download through ROM manager

Really it's that easy.

Else just enjoy the ROM "as is" and wait for a fix. You'll surely notice when it's working on an upcoming build
[Desire Android Development] Mokshu:
Been using 0.4.1.x as a daily ROM since the begining. Flashing updates (no full wipe) worked nicely.

I just flashed tiamat's latest kernel, seems ok as of now. Had only one reboot when browsing market.
[Desire Android Development] maxxie85:
hee

I found a serious problem. It is with the android market.

I am not able to install apps that are bigger than 6 mb. because then the market crashes.

But I tried to install a app true the webmarket on my pc. Also didn't want to install. Later the day I got a message from my provider that I used 75% of my data. I checked data usage in the settings menu and the android market app had downloaded 174mb with a huge spike from today. No notification that is was trying to install an app.

As a last resort I disabeld the android market from the settings menu en rebooted my phone.

Edit:

My configuration

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.1.5

Full wipe before? = No, updated from 0.4.1.3

A2SD-script = Amarullz

logcat link: don't know how to logcat

and supercharged my phone using supercharcher V6 version 9
[Desire Android Development] teky:
@ morbon, metallyeah and marco.it

with the release of the 0.4.x betas there has been a new kernel, which now uses full HWA. This is causing the camera and rotation issue, which is a known fault and the devs are looking into this. You can either wait for the devs to resolve the issue, with no estimated time frame atm, or you can revert to 0.3.10, which uses the previous kernal with HWA hack.

There is a 2.3 Gingerbread screenlock animation. It's different from the previous version. And, there is a flicker after the animation. I have flash the soft keys and battery mod from mattman's site(great thank to his work!!) Is that a problem?
[Desire Android Development] whipping:
I have this problem since v0.34 :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I wouldn't have thought that it would be these mods, I only change one little line and that is it... I also have the flicker (sometimes, not all the time), and think I had it on a fresh install too...
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
When upgrading from a previous version, I seem to lose settings like ringtones, alarm tones, etc. Has anyone found a way to restore them from a backup (TB or MyBackup) and if so, which parts did you back up and restore?

o... BTW, thank you so much your great works!!! I am looking forward to seeing more mods and works!!!!
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
just a thought - has anyone tried 0.3.10 with the new kernel? just wondering if it was nice and stable with the camera and any newer tweaks...
[Desire Android Development] an430:
I forgot one important thing is that I had tried reinstall the rom without your mods, the flickers and gingerbread animation still exists. Just for your reference.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

There was a previous post about the experience of new kernel in the latest version, it seems stable. However, there is still no detailed report about the new one. You may get try in it.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Everything seems fine with newest tiamat kernel, can't really tell a difference, that would require more thorough testing for which I don't have time. Here's the changelog: http://tiamat-dev.com/ics-changes/
[Desire Android Development] maxxie85:
well I fixed it, by doing a full wipe and reinstall from 0.4.1.5.

Only now I have a new bug.

I instald 0.4.1.5 using the amarulez script and agps fix.

but after several installations of apps I get a message that my internal memory is nearly full. And when I check I have 0,9 gb free.

But if I check in recovery it says that the data partition is 13,7 mb free.

I'm done with this ROM. Using it since the begining, but it's currently worst than before (despite of full wiping). Going back to gingerbread for a while.

New Apex Laucher

I just received a notification on my phone that there's an update available for Apex launcher. The option to download from Market didn't work, so I downloaded it and installed. After that it always crashed and now I'm re-flashing the ROM.

I think this is no fault of the ROM and just wanted to warn others. Maybe I also installed it a wrong way (just chose the apk and installed).

I'm on stock hboot, 0.4.1.5, stock a2sd + softkeys

Hey guys!

Is there any way of saving the apps on the external SD card? I have an ext4 partition on it .. I did the terminal a2sd thingy .. but all my apps still are being installed on the internal memory.

Desire's internal memory is abysmal. Can someone help me out here?

I am actually quite happy with this ROM otherwise. Good job to its creators! :)
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
go to manage apps and stay on the screen for a few seconds, memory should go back up
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
Are you sure you have the "stock a2sd" installed?

Try going to terminal and typing

a2sd reinstall

And what I meant was that usually if I stay in settings/ apps, it's as if a2sd "kicks in" after a few seconds and the memory returns back to normal..
[Desire Android Development] Undermyoath:
Just a question to sandvold, drewis or nikezz, is it a biggy to try the new kernel on my 0.4.1.5 powered device?

Shall I try to flash it and report any problems when they occur?

Or shall I wait for your releases on this kernel?

Send from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium app

[edit]: I tried and using it right now, not sure 'bout the battery performance.

Everything is a little bit smoother right now and the wifi bars and wifi range is fixed for a little bit.
[Desire Android Development] chrismast:
did you enter the following commands in termianl?:

a2sd install

after reboot start terminal emulator (if you want to move cache)
