Is it me or is it still really laggy? Games and stuff are much slower compared to gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
A reboot like that is a different issue - the BSOD we talk about is a full lockup on black screen. Still, new kernel might help with that too.

HWA is not fully optimised yet, so that's to be expected. It'll probably never match GB for hardcore graphics performance (given the higher OS demands on the system) however ICS should be much smoother under normal operation.

M.
[Desire Android Development] :
Ics will out perform gingerbread, wait it already is based on nenamark2 benchmarks, gb = 6fps max and ics = 11fps max
[Desire Android Development] weirdsciencex:
Really????

This is a beta rom, not even a RC with hacked drivers running on a two year old phone that ICS was never designed for.

:eek:
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
Sorry, but what is HWA? And I can't wait for ICS to be optimised, it looks good but its too laggy/buggy for daily use.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
HWA = Hardware Accelleration. One of the massive changes in ICS is that all the interface rendering (even the launcher) is processed by the GPU - not the CPU like in previous versions of android. This increases the load on the GPU (obviously) but it does do a much better job of things in general.

Anyway, it's stupid comparing stability vs gingerbread at this point. ICS will *never* be launched officially for anything sharing the Desire/N1 chipset - so it's always going to be a hackjob to some degree. Compared to something like CM7/Villian (going on your sig) which is vastly more mature, much less complex, and also has proper working sources to build from.

With time ICS will improve alot... but as you say you're just impatient :rolleyes:

M.
[Desire Android Development] DroidRevenge:
What do you mean with "daily use"?

I tend to exclude games for daily use, or at least i exclude high-end games.

For all other operations this ROM is AWESOME!

Smooth and with no bugs.

HWA = HardWare Accelleration
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
Sorry if I offended you at all! I think it's amazing that ICS can be run on such an old phone. It's just that I wasn't sure how far along the beta was.

Ah, right hardware acceleration. Yeah, I guess our Desire's/N1's will never officially support HWA. I guess it's time for an upgrade soon :)

Well, like for texting and browsing the web, but it still feels really slow for me. I understand that it's a beta and all, but I just feel that it's a pity that I can't use it for my daily usage.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hey everyone, I've made an unofficial Evervolv boot animation, as I was not enjoy ing the "x" from the Nexus, as of course we have a HTC Desire!

Thought I would make something a bit more towards the rom, and less of the Nexus range! :)

Please check it out here and if you like it give it ago! :)
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
I have had the BSOD too so I'll give it a try. Previous versions of the ROM (before 0.4.3) gave me multiple reboots so this is far more stable.
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
Hi, gonna give a shot art home. Will send feedback. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
could you post a link to the alternate kernel you are testing with the latest version of the rom please ? thanks
[Desire Android Development] laserlion:
If you're referring to the tiamat kernel mentioned on last page you'll find it on tiamat-dev.com. Easily found with google ;)
[Desire Android Development] DroidRevenge:
Sorry dude, but for me stock browser is a ligthning!

Chrome a bit slow but feature-reach.

Very sorry for you...
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
Hi! I had my first BSOD since I update to 0.4.4 this morning. It's might have nothing to do with it, but yesterday I use all my battery and it turn off. Maybe the BSOD just happen when the battry is drain?

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.4

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD

Great ROM anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

Just had my second BSOD in 2h.

Look like ICs doesn't like wednesday. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Alaa:
Hello. When I open up the camera, the screen flickers like crazy and I can't see anything (nor the capture button). However, when I tap where the capture button is, it takes the shot and saves it normally. Is this a known bug?

EDIT: Never mind, don't answer. =/.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, if u read the OP under what's not working... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Update to latest tiamat kernel. This was discussed on just the last page.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Alaa:
Yeah, I missed that part.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I just drained my battery, so will check you theory:)
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
I reinstall the ROM with the tiamat kernel. Let's see what happen next.

I use the stock kernel for a week whitout any problem on the 0.4.4
[Desire Android Development] razmattaz:
BSOD? for anyone interested and having BSOD issues...

I got some weird things happening on 1st install with reboots and BSOD but since my latest configuration I have had no reboots or BSOD. (4days)

Sense hboot (similar to CM7r2 but with larger cache and system partition)

Stock Kernal

a2sd not installed

AGPS fix

installer using the CM7r2 option and after install ,I ran Amarullz script from Sanvolds site. apps seem to running smoother than stock a2sd.

:D

and Apex launcher
[Desire Android Development] ledzgio:
I get a very annoying issue with 0.4.4, stock kernel and stock launcher: very often, during a call, I can hear others talking but they cannot hear me! so I have to hang up and recall again.

This issue was absent with the 0.3.x release.

Any idea?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] laserlion:
For future reference you can just download the latest tiamat kernel from his website and flash the zip over your current install in recovery :)
[Desire Android Development] razmattaz:
There is a 2sec delay in people hearing you with the rom (reported way back in thread but not priority)

Have you tried reflashing? make sure you do full wipe :)
[Desire Android Development] ledzgio:
I have wiped everything before flashing 0.4.4.

I knew about the 2secs delay, but I didn't know that during a call others stop hearing me at all..this happen sometimes but it is annoying.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are these phone calls long? The mute function has just been fixed in this rom, it could be an error muting you when you're not pressing it...
[Desire Android Development] ledzgio:
Usually it happens in calls long 5-10 mins and more, but also with 2 mins calls..so it seems to be time-independent.

It seems like my phone gets muted in some way...the mute function you are talking about should be fixed with 0.4.4?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Never really heard of this issue, so it's a bit strange. Have you tested if it happens with other ROM's and checked if it's a HW fault. We had anther of those bug reports earlier.

I have to say I'm sorry that progress may be a bit halted the next few days as I'm spending my free time getting ICS with sense to boot. Won't stop with this ROM at all, but atm that's the focus. But the work we do on the sense build will benefit us as well:)

And ofc if N1 gets a new build then you will get it as well:)
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Any luck with the fix used in DHD?
[Desire Android Development] ledzgio:
Its really strange I know, It doesn't happen with the 0.3.x ROM. I have also tried oxygen ROM and never had this issue. I don't think it is an HW fault.. I may try to full wipe and flash again.

Thanks for your work.
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
@sandvold

nice to hear that you're not abandoning this rom ;) I'm really looking forward to a final version or at least a rc. Love the beta, but as we all know not everything is working flawlessly yet..

btw: why do you want to port sense? is our old desire even capable of running ics with sense? Or is it just to have something new to work on because there is not really much you can improve on this rom atm.

anyways, thx for your effort!
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Pretty much it's fun learning. I had never touched a ROM before this one, and i've never touched a sense rom before either. Some friends asked me to join so I figured why not:)

I think it will run sense okey. At least 4.0 (ligther then 3.6), but it all depends. At least we'll give it a try
[Desire Android Development] phry:
Here's a Logcat of my last BSOD:

[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi Mat,

I put it onto my phone, so my opinion...

this is a nice minimalistic bootnaimation. would be nice if it could be fatest animated coz... minimal.

may be give a lil blur on text in a way mhhhh shinning but this is very own...

like the blue ICS color

thanks for your work ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks... I had no internet at work so set about in a couple of hours...

Language barrier here, what u mean by;

And;

I agree the image could be flaterened for that little less 'pixel' look, but know if I would bother as it is very minimal as you say... but over 150 images so would be time consuming... ;)

But again, thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
.4.4. Nova, ad2sdx, tiamat latest...... reboot, and freezes on lock screen..... cm7r2.......
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
@Mattmawrx

ooops... i would say fastest animation...

i mean the animation goes just a little more fastest... it begins with a discontinued line and afterwoods, comes .....evervolv text.

if this could be more "running" fast... it s like a feeling of "turbo boosted rom" :D

hope i m clear by what i m tryin' to say
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So it should all be faster? If it is faster then it might not look too great I think... I will make it faster tomorrow and see how it looks :)
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
For everyone with stock kernel having bsod, use the timat kernel. Timat kernel is stable as hell. Cant get my Phone to crash no matter what.
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
NMK kernel is also stable as rock.

No more bsod since flashed the mentionned kernel. And a little more tweaks for smoothness ;)
[Desire Android Development] phry:
Tiamat seems to kill my battery - which version are you using and did you apply any tweaks?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
Just wanted to chime in and say that I've been running this new version since it came out, stock kernel and have never had a Bsod. I know it doesn't help but just saying I'm not affected, at least so far. Might try new tiamat kernel but don't want to do something that might cause a Bsod after I've been so lucky.

[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Happened to me this morning almost missed work might change rom for time being. Not first time it's happened through night

It seems to be worse while charging the phone. I would recommend everyone to use the newest tiamet atm, even though it have worse battery. It seems better both for us and N1

[Desire Android Development] eddiemerckx:
As far as I found, there isn't anyone mentioning their brightness dropping to low after every screenlock.

Does anyone know if there is a fix?
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
Hi! I flash the tiamat kernel yesterday and I wipe battery stats and now the battery seem to work fine.

Hboot: stock

beta 0.4.4

Nova laucher

APP2SD stock

aGPS

the tiamat kernel is a battery killer
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
I found stock lacking when I first installed this ROM so tried Trebuchet but it was constantly FCing. I've changed to Nova and haven't looked back. I did install Apex and found it similar to Nova and it has way more settings so would likely appeal to the person that likes to tweak everything about their launcher.

Nova is very stable and I can change settings for the things that matter to me. Give it a try.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

That happens to me all the time. Very frustrating.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Don't know what's causeing the brightness issue. Is it worse then before or are you just reporting the bug now?

If it's just recently then it's probably because of a change in build.prop i forgot to add or somethign
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
It's been evident since upgrading to 0.4.4 specifically. I don't remember having that problem on previous builds.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
K i'll take a look, I might know what the prob is if it's worse now then it's been before. Going to bed now, but I'll try to check it out tomorrow
[Desire Android Development] eddiemerckx:
Apparently from what I can find, the brightness slider in the settings and in the notif (if set to show) have different values and reset when rebooting your device.

If I set both levels to somewhat the same amount then the screen stays the way it should be.

I'm not sure if setting both values has an effect on the battery performance but my battery dropped 20% in 10 minutes.

Still, awesome job on the ROM Sandvold!
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
I don't think changing that would impact your battery life that dramatically. Thanks for the tip though. I'm going to try that now.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
I'm happy with Apex.
[Desire Android Development] andysor:
OK, I've been keeping abreast of this thread for quite a while and last weekend I decided to try this ROM. I've done my best to search before posting.

My experience so far:

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.4

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Amarullz/Stock A2SD

Installed with stock launcher, stock a2sd, no agps, stock kernel. I have a 16GB class 4 Sandisk card with a 2GB ext3 partition at end of card.

Ran a2sd script as explained, rebooted, tried to restore titanium backup. Phone says "insufficient storage". I check the applications menu and the available space is negative.

Reformat ext3 partition to ext4 using Minitool Partition Wizard. Reinstall with amarullz, agps, stock kernel, nova. Everything runs fine, everything restores from titanium and app menu shows 2GB application storage. No problems for around a day of light usage, other than slow app launches (like 4 seconds to open Whatsapp every time).

Then I install apps like crazy, trying out lots of widgets, games etc. The phone starts to give me FCs ALOT, often it takes several reboots to stop them. They're always system apps in a chain reaction (dialler, gtalk, contacts etc.) and sometimes data apps FC on execution as well. I also get several BSODs a day and random pin code notifications.

Then I uninstall all the useless stuff I downloaded, down to about 500MB of apps, and I notice the phone is far more stable. However, after a BSOD I decide to flash Tiamat Kernel.

After 12 hours it seems much more stable, with no BSODs or FCs. However, when using bluetooth headset for 2 calls it crashed during both of them (BSOD and then pin code notification).

Could this all be related to my Amarullz setup? Did I do anything wrong when I reformatting my ext3 to ext4? Why did my first try at stock a2sd fail?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi,

as far as i know i would say that sd-ext should be ext4 fs.

if any doubt, i advice to have a lokk into 40ad2sdx script

for example:

#-- Mount sd-ext to /data ( You Will Get 1GB/2GB Internal Memory :D )
busybox mount -t ext4 -o ... /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data;

with a2sd the script is not auto activated at installlation and fs file are not explicitly specified so it assumes that only ext partition exist on your sd card (this means that it should work with ext2 - ext3 - ext4)

regarding this everyone would say that ext4 is more performing... while ext3 is more "stable"

anyway this is another debat.

from my own experience, i use a2sd or 40ad2sdx with succes.

Actually running 0.4.2.1 with 40ad2sdx on CMrc2 hboot with no problem... but use noop as IO scheduler for /sys/block/mmcblk0p2 (sd-ext)

my 2 cent
[Desire Android Development] Gsam101:
Any chance to get a version of the rom without the Google Apps ?
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Delete them from .zip file and then flash it... ?
[Desire Android Development] poussinvert:
hum...

I have a big problem. I installed this rom few days ago, without problem.

Well... my phone is put on my desk... and I don't know why, it vibrated once and... nothing more.

My desire is off, and it doesn't want start.

What's the problem ??????

The screen is always black, it doesn't want boot on the bootloader...

Help me pleeease... :/
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
tried disconnecting the battery first then trying again?
[Desire Android Development] poussinvert:
I tried but nothing happens
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Use a file manager like ES File Explorer to delete them afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] ssonik:
The same thing happened to one of my desires (not rom related). The motherboard died. I noticed a few random reboots in quick succession, it heated up to about 40 degrees C, then stopped working all together. Are you still able to charge the phone?
[Desire Android Development] poussinvert:
Yess, I can charge it. And it starts !! The battery is 0%, but it charge... It starts only if it is plugged. In the setting, the battery menu shows a fall 35% --> 0%.

WEIRD...
[Desire Android Development] ssonik:
You can boot, that's a good thing. Have you tried rebooting straight into recovery using the advanced power menu? If you can get there, restore your nandroid backup and see if the problem continues. How old is your battery? Have you calibrated it recently?
[Desire Android Development] Fritte_SWE:
Havent tested the battery time since i use the Phone nonstop. Havent had a decrease that i can note. I only ran the nexus one calibrator.
[Desire Android Development] poussinvert:
Yes, I think the problem is my battery. I don't prefer restore my old rom (Ginger Villain 3.3)...

I didn't know that we can calibrate the battery.. how do that ??

Great work for cam preview! For me panorama mode stops cam app. I also tried Paper Camera but the preview didn't work and after taking a photo the phone rebooted.

I would go as far as to say this merits RC instead of beta :D So happy about the progress. Of course I don't know how many ICS features are still not included. This is just to say a big thanks to the devs!

[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
It works for Camera Zoom FX too.

Thank you very much to the developer who created the fix and Mattman for packaging up the fix.
[Desire Android Development] andysor:
FIXED. It was Mini Tool Partition Wizard. After formatting with Paragon instead the phone sees the card.

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

With all the issues I've had I decided to flash CM7r2 and install stock A2SD.

My problem now is that the phone doesn't mount my 16GB card any more. It has no problems mounting my old 4GB card, but even after a reformat it doesn't see my 16GB card. When I say "see" I mean it doesn't show up under the "storage" menu in system settings. It has a 1GB ext2 partition at the end.

Recovery sees it just fine.

I've tried with both kernels.

This wouldn't be a huge problem if it weren't for the fact that I now have no way of restoring backups.

Any suggestions?

Hboot = CM7r2

Version = Beta_0.4.4

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD
