[Desire Android Development] digit-all:
It seems that version 0.15.01 is not that stable. I stick at previous vers ion although i have problems too.

The phone apparently turns off and then i have to fill in my pincode a few times. Very strange.

Its still beta ! But keep on the good work. :)
[Desire Android Development] djmickyg:
I'm getting the black screen issue that some people seem to be getting, I have to remove the batter, can't even hard rest the phone, mine seems to happen only when I've had the phone on charge for a while. Anyone getting this?

I'm on 0.15.0.1, cm7, stock a2sd, nova launcher.
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
Not sure if there's a setting to do that but I always use Juice defender which disables data connection on screen off I have the ultimate version with more options settings & can set how often it connects data in sleep mode to sync data!
[Desire Android Development] vijendrahs:
Smartassv2 governor was doing good job. But I don't see that now in latest release.

I mean closing of data connection during sleep.
[Desire Android Development] weslyr:
I installed 0.15.1 yesterday (coming from 0.11). Total wipe. Everything stock except extra dictionaries and no NikeUpdater. I like the smoothness and all the basic stuff (like Wifi, Youtube, Spirit FM Radio) is working just fine.

What is not working (exact same list as in 0.11):

1. -

No Dutch dictionary

(I installed with AOKP extended dictionaries yet no Dutch spelling correction. How can I get the Dutch dictionary back like in the older builds? I also see errors in logcat like: "E/ActivityThread: Failed to find provider info for com.android.inputmethod.latin.dictionarypack". Is this error related to this issue?)

2. - TwitchTV app still cannot display video when playing a stream

(while video works fine on Galaxy Nexus. I dumped the logcat at http://pastebin.com/1hPDCKxn . It seems to be related to errors from HTC Acoustic and the media server dying).

2. - Hardkeys backlights still stays on after changing your display brightness in settings or togglewidget.

4. - Lockanimation still not smooth

(the screen quickly goes on and off after the crt-animation).

5. - 'On demand' CPU governor still causes BSOD ('Smartass' seems to be fine).

Sandvold, what is your opinion on the first two issues?

I used Amurlz. How do I test it?
[Desire Android Development] camus11:
It's happened to me in the first night recharge, then no others black screens.

Now I'm on 0.15.0.1 with supercharger, flashed on 0.15.0.1 (without supercharger) without data wipe and all seems to be good.

With 0.15.xx I've noticed a major ram consuption and a great battery drain compared to 0.14.
[Desire Android Development] djmickyg:
Just realized had on demand on and was getting the bsod, on smartass2 now
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Why do people like ondemand? It seems smartass/interactive is switching faster both up and down and offer a smoother experience with optimal power usage...

I recently rooted my phone for the first time and successfully installed v0.14 but I've just noticed that the windows e-book manager I use, Calibre, has stopped recognising the Desire as a device. Are there any other Calibre users using this rom?
[Desire Android Development] stoff_1980:
Just convert the books using calibre and then drag and drop them into ur phone. Make an ebook folder. Then just use an ebook reader of play store. That what I do anyways.
[Desire Android Development] meno69:
Strange I thought this was fixed from previous releases. Somewhere around 0.13 or 0.14?
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
after 3 continous reinstalls

i am still getting this error

10apps2sd is either missing or not executable

[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
OnDemand is better for battery life (you have an exhaustive study by "Dr Byte" in ManU kernel's thread)
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
Is it hard for people with issues to go back to 0.14 until Sandvold is able to resolve the obvious large amount of issues?
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Good evening everyone! What is the best partition layout for this ROM. Does the 1gb sd-ext and 0mb swap still stand up or is there a better one?
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
what hboot, which a2sd option did you choose? you should save and post install log.

In case you did not already choose these options, try installing with nova or apex launcher and choose stock a2sd..could be related to space problems on certain hboots.
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Oh you mean something like: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19426586&postcount=1824

Still reading, but I am curious what is the actual criteria for selecting ondemand instead of other governors that I find better for ICS (ignoring the fact that those threads are old and based on completely different frameworks).
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
thats what I use and works good. Just in case your sdcard isn't optimized for fast access times, choose stock a2as and activate after room install in terminal (su, a2sd install, y, n, y) - this gives lots of space (on data++ 145 mb free /data w/ 70 apps installed) and good performance.
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
ondemand switches nearly directly from lowest to highest frequency on load and vice versa, while smartass uses many steps in between. You can see this easy on cpu spy statistics. This means ondemand is more responsive and wastes less time in intermediate and less effective states. Problem is here the standard undervolting: if phone is on deep sleep and has to go to high frequency the voltage may be too low and the device may crash. In contrast, smartass goes slowly up, voltages can be adjusted fast enough and phone would not crash.
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
A quick comment, Videocam Illusion (Play store) can record more than 15fps with lower resolution. For the moment, better than nothing :)
[Desire Android Development] cgg123321:
Wow ICS for Desire. I haven't wiped my phone for a year and a half! Cheers to the Oxygen Rom guys, but now my phone is start to get buggy. I'm on the first revision of the Oxygen HBOOT and have been spoiled by the extra app space. What's the minimum space I have give my system partition for this rom?

I did a quick search in this thread and have seen that Data++ and CM7 R2 work, but is there an even more spacious HBOOT that will work? I'm pretty sure my current one won't work (it's around 90mb for the system or something...).

Also, is there anything I should do before flashing a new HBOOT and rom? I've been out of the loop for a long, long time. Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] man4714:
im on 0.13.1 its super smooth n fab..

only few issues im facing past 2-3 days

1. Facebook not loading (but the updates are coming in notification bar)

2. Haxsync is repeatedly showing 'Invalid response from facebook' error message..

3. Twitter also takes loooong to load..

other things like mail,gmail,google+,browser,gtalk work perfectly..
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Are you sure you did not mix those up? Ondeman changes slowly and smartass/interactive is instant for me. Maybe there's something weird with my install, I'll check again, but the exact things you say are correct, EXCEPT the other way around, smartass being faster than ondemand...

And what about it?
[Desire Android Development] brankoni33:
Sorry for Q but I install this ROM from earlier version without problem.My problem exist a few days ago when install 0.15.1 my SD card corrupt.by new card but cannot put ext4.I lost all my settings and apps and I sad.Trying gparted sdk tools but not happened

Thanks for your patient
[Desire Android Development] vijendrahs:
Did you create ext partition on your sd?
[Desire Android Development] brankoni33:
Cannot create ext4.Try From manager but cannot
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
We need a little more then that. Can you try to use ext4 recovery and do it? Have you done it? If so, did it return any message when tried to create the partition?
[Desire Android Development] Scar89:
Wow thanks, I couldn't find any Cam that could work, let alone this smooth.
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
I am afraid you are wrong, in fact I have feeling you got it mixed up with conservative governor which scales slowly up until it reaches max cpu and uses many stages in between. SmartassV2 works differently and scales very aggressively down when screen is off and and ramps up two/three freq quickly when screen is on. If you have cpu spy installed you will notice that this governor carefully selects ideal frequency for screen on and screen off. Thus giving us the comprise between conservative/ondemand and I would even say it has the best balance between performance and battery.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
That's correct.
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Best way to see it, enter Evervolv toolbox (included in ROM by default) and change governors, then play with the drawer to see how quickly it changes frequency.

Also, this information you read here might change in the future as kernel and framework developers improve their code and add new functionality so don't count on anything you read as being true, simply test everything before you try to offer advice to people about what to do.
[Desire Android Development] royal66:
Strange force close

First of thanx to Sandvold and developers here for bringing new life to Desire :)

Cmr2hboot

All standard install except:

Apex launcher and Amarullz a2sd

1GB ext4 no swop created from 4ext recovery

In both v 0.14 and 0.15.0.1 I have a very annoying issue.

I get force close on every app and google services when I am on the move(driving CAR or something.) At home everything is fine.

This is very strange, does someone have a clue what is going on?
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
Agreed for your last paragraph. In fact, back on gingerbread ROMs I had much better response AND battery life on ondemand compared to smartass v2. Now on sandvold 0.14 both become laggish after few weeks. While still I have bit better response and battery on ondemand compared to smartass. But that's my personal choice..

But about seeing the frequency changes in Realtime: you cannot tell me that you can SEE it. It is way too fast, in the order of milliseconds! And a cpu switching up and down through all available frequencys all the time -even though it may switch fast between them- must not be faster then one, that goes straight to highest frequ, finishes job faster and goes also faster to sleep again.
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
Use "stock a2sd" (it's darktremor's a2sd), is the most stable, then "su" and "a2sd install"
[Desire Android Development] royal66:
I did that first but after a2sd install it became totaly slow :(

I even changed the SD card from Patriot class 10 to Sandisk class 6 ultra.
[Desire Android Development] facade:
Did you answer yes, no, yes in the terminal emulator or did just choose yes for every option. Data in the sdcard may cause slowdowns as well.

Sent from an ICS Beta Desire via XDA app.
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
Patriot MicroSD's are a holy crap, see this and try if you like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010228 (I have one Patriot 32Gb cl4 without using because this...)

Personally I answered Yes, Yes, Yes (dalvik and data on SD), works perfect with Samsung Class10 32Gb MicroSD (768Mb in ext4 part, made with 4ext recovery) and CM7r2 HBOOT. No lag, no BSOD or anything :)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I might release a small update with int2sd + the otehr a2sd script that was requested.

I'm not with myu build computer today so can't try sorting out the other issues, but I've edited some stuff so will try to fix it out in not to long
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
When I install the ROM I haven't GoogleQuickSearchBox (Google search bar), I think that need to be installed in /system/app, and in the ROM is in /data/app
[Desire Android Development] royal66:
Yes I noticed that Patriot sucked big time therefore I got this fast Sandisk card.

Will try regular a2sd again
[Desire Android Development] vijendrahs:
Battery life is bad with the latest version. Any help on this is much appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Take your time. v0.14 does a good job if you ignore the 3G issue.
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
i have stock Hboot and i used second a2sd option with nova launcher
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
Then install again(nova launcher is ok), but with FIRST a2sd option "stock a2sd".

For me this one worked in the last releases.

After rom install run in terminal "su", then "a2sd install" and answer the questions "y", "n", "y" for best performance and space for some more apps. If you need even more space, I recommend data++ hboot.
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
Anyone has "strange" behaviour with trackpad? (when selecting text, it's practically impossile to go 3 letters left and not the whole word)
[Desire Android Development] jessec:
Played around with a previous version of your ICS ROM and it seemed really nice.. I have an HTC Amaze so I never really used it full time. Been having pretty bad battery issues with the Amaze so I'm back to my Desire for now. So far so good, great work!

I have found one minor colour issue - if you go to "People", then to groups, and try to add someone to a group - the background colour of the list when you search for a name is really light grey and text is white so it's really hard to read the name you are adding. Email addresses in the list show up with black text so you can see those quite well :) . Once added, it displays fine on the normal black background. Not sure how easy of a fix this would be.. just thought you should know!

Thanks again!
[Desire Android Development] burningwipf:
Go to settings -> input-settings

at the bottom 'pointer speed' or something like that (using different language :p)

you can adjust the speed of the trackball there!

How many space do you guys have after doing a clean installation?

And, I use GoSMS, does anyone notice some lagginess while writing? I tried using the stock app but it keeps converting my sms to mms if they pass 3 normal sms. (I use the new Swiftkey 3.0)

I believe Sandvold isn't using the latest version of 4.0.4_Contacts_Inverted_T9

Garb it here

: Can you update it in the next release?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I'll do that:) thx for the heads up. Added it already.

Will drop a quick fix with reverting the wifi/3g fix that wasn't succesful, anther one will be tried(and will try something differnet when I get a chance to build it, maybe tomorrow or the day after)

ProxOrs int2sd and sulliers a2sd script

choice of google now or old ICS quicksearch

Havn't tested everything yet so can't release it before tomorrow:)

[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Which one, because the one in 0.15.0 is working perfectly!
[Desire Android Development] jughead101:
I agree with vijendrahs. Compared to 0.14 the battery life is gone bad in 0.15.0.1
[Desire Android Development] druijs111:
Battery

Indeed batterylife has shortened. And everytime I charge it fully, it hangs. I have to remove the battery to restart my Desire.
[Desire Android Development] laving1977:
I have noticed one lag starting from 13ver.

The search of contacts is pretty slow. Earlier it offered suggestions while typeing, now have to wait 3sec or more. Have around 1000+ contacts, but that shouldn't be problem as have always had so many and earlier the search was momentary.
[Desire Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
App data to SD causes many times a very laggy phone!

re install a2sd scpipt like below:

su

a2sd install

y : davlik cache to SD (yes)

n : data to SD (no)

y : reboot (yes)

+1 inverted will be great.

SANDVOLD: maybe a choice in Aroma sometime in the future with more apps inverted would be great. I already use Gmail, Talk, Contacts, Sms(Mms), Calendar, Twitter with inverted ones!

They increase battery life when used instead of original ones!
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
That would be cool, because I want only the white apps and maybe white system theme. The SLCD Desire uses more power for black pixels than white so I want more battery life. Also white apps look better for me :)
[Desire Android Development] grongo:
The increased battery lifetime only applies to Amoled, however it'll be nice to include those inverted apps.

Can you please point the links for the apps?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Not sure if I can get it done to this release, but in the future this sounds like an good idea

Im getting error updating apps from market. Free and paid ones. Titanium backup paid app and google maps for naming a few. Other update with no problem.

Angry words "FC" every time i refresh.

And i get a "low" popup everytime a start/restart the phone (this might be related to androidlost but im not sure)

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Schmeggma:
Source?

OLED screens use individually powered sub-pixels, so ideally black uses no power and varying intensities of red green and blue use proportionally more. LCDs have a constant backlight, and my understanding is that the power used to twist the crystals is negligible compared to that.

Relative to AMOLED, SLCD Desire uses more power for black, but that's because the AMOLED uses less while SLCD is effectively constant.

I'd very much like to see some data if I'm wrong about this.
[Desire Android Development] burningwipf:
What a2sd-script are you using? some of them have been broken in the last release i think~

and for the FCs.. have you tried fix_permissions?
[Desire Android Development] :
Installed 0.15.0.1 after full wipe, opted to install patched Maps, but after installation there is no Maps in app drawer, and the Play Store seems identical to the old (ICS) one?

I can report that using the longpress to kill apps affected the overall behaviour of the back-button on my phone. It became quite unresponsive of normal pressing. When I turned the option off the button works ok again.

MMS not working (sending nor receiving!)

i just installed Sandvold's latest ICS on my Desire; it's really great (thanks a lot!), but i can't get the mms to work (sending nor receiving). I had the same problems before on Slim ICS, but it used to work in older ROMS (froyo...).

My data is enabled and 3G is working. The apn is correct, except that instead of simply being "mms", it says "default,supl,mms".

When i receive a mms it doesn't download automatically, i press the Download button but nothing happens (status bar icon doesn't change at all): it doesn't seem to swap from apn.

I searched the thread, i think a couple other guys had a similar issue, but they don't mention any solution... Someone said that sending an mms to self fixed is problem, but it didnt work for me!

Any solution? Thanks a lot in advance!!

Bump......
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Something like this: http://techlogg.com/2010/05/black-vs-white-screen-power-consumption-24-more-monitors-tested/17

Note that depending on the technology, white can save or use more energy. And those those monitors have different power profiles compared to mobile screens due to different purposes, components and sizes. The idea is black pixels (opaque) require more power to switch polarity than white (transparent) pixels.

But my primary preference is to black-on-white contrast which is much better to read (for me) even in full sunlight, compare to blue-on-black interface that I can't tell if the screen is on during sunlight.

Having a good composition contrast means you can lower brightness of the display and still maintain readability, thus saving some power in two instances.

Then again, saving 10% of your battery on the Desire this way, means you get an extra 20 minutes of screen time, not something extremely important for daily usage...
[Desire Android Development] Schmeggma:
Interesting, but "two of the 24 monitors tested saw a reduction in power consumption going from a white to a black screen. These both use IPS rather than the standard TN panel construction." I think SLCD uses a variation of IPS, so it would seem from the (old) data that black still uses less power on a SLCD Desire. We'd really need some measurements from actual Desire screens, if that's even possible.

I didn't realise the difference could be as great as 8% though!

I totally agree with black on white being preferable from a user standpoint.
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Had to revert to 0.11. I had bsod while on conservative, lagginess and much worse battery life (shaky's kernel has been the best so far).
[Desire Android Development] Stennan:
My hardware buttons are starting to give up on me so i considering moving to this ROM. My main question is if the soft butons are still available, they seem to have been removed once in the changelog? Other then that i'm currently running cm7r2 with S-off, will i get more stability on a stock partition?
[Desire Android Development] rickiri69:
Personal feedback with 0.15.01

after struggling with script, freezing while charging or while changing network, bluetooth issues, Gplay that didn't want to install, random reboot...

From my last post I didn't get any more troubles even not a reboot.

Battery is even a bit better than in 0.14.

Only GPS in Navigation is a bit long to catch position (5 min sometimes) but almost fixed with a GpsAids free that I guess reset the data. (Patch in Aroma for Maps abroad never worked for me)

So for me everything is working PERFECTLY ans smoothly. So good that I will hesitate to update to next releases :laugh:

Thanks for your nice job Sandvold
