BBC iPlayer does not work as flash has not been updated to work with ICS
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
here's the updated version of the previous sigpic:
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Hell yeah! I finally sortet out my keyboard issues! Seems like there are different versions of LatinIME around! When you install beta3r3 no matter if with or without gapps you will install a LatinIME with NOT working word prediction and spell checking! If you then install the add on gapps package you will get an additional LatinIMEgoogle with WORKING spell checking and word prediction! I then used titanium to remove the wrong android keyboard.

So please devs try to include LatinIMEGoogle from the add on pack in the next beta instead of the LatinIME!

Hope this helps...

Improved my previous sig... made it more inline with the ICS theme... feel free to use and hit thanks if you do :)
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
i am assuming you are talking about adobe flash.. if that is the case it will probably never be working until a dev somehow update/ports it because adobe has officially stated that it is no longer working on mobile flash
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
They have confirmed an update for ICS... this will be the final major update to flash player for mobile.
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
Please could you explain me how did you sort this issue in a easier way? I have the same problem....
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
I tried to fix the dictionary issue myself by inserting the dict files into the keyboard. It was a no go, however, I've managed to get it working by installing the ics keyboard by binary bulge on the market, and using it as default. You have to go into the language settings though and make sure you tell it to use the binary bulge keyboard version of spell correction, and not the one built in to android 4.

I also set it to spell correct in the English language, not system default.

That way, the keyboard has fully working word prediction and spell correction

I'm still gonna try working on the default keyboard that comes in the beta. If i manage to fix it, will give the fix to super kid. :)
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
I can try. Just install the gapps fix package from 1st post. You will then have 2 different spelling correction options and also 2 different amdroid Keyboard options. Then you can remove the not working version with titanium. Just filter for "Latin". Then deinstall the android keyboard with the longer title. Keep version 4.0.1-212031.

Then adjust your language options for spelling correction and the keyboard input and it should be OK. Look at page 29 for rapiers explanation of the settings.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
As said before. The latinIMEgoogle from the gapps fix package on page 1 works perfectly!

If you can take launcher2.apk from 3r2 and replace with current one then you got it..
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
thats good bug.please leave it :)
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
thats good bug, lol feature i know but is should have the option to disable it when not required like Auto-Rotation feature.

Why there should be a need to disable it, I like it when i can read bottom to top and not only the standard way xD

I've arrived at work today and relised that this ics rom doesn't seem to pick up hsdpa unless it doesn't have the icon for It and just shows 3G instead
[HTC Desire S] :
FYI, I've used the widget application 'Widgetsoid' to add some switching to the notification area CM7 style....
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Great...I'll try this at once...It was one of the features I was missing alot

Later edit: This way you can also add "flashlight" to notif bar. For this you should set "Method 3" for flashlight, this was the one that worked for me.
[HTC Desire S] saimn:
can you download some apps like facebook?

The Market says "your device is not compatible"
[HTC Desire S] -Sumsy-:
hey rapier how do you out it on status bar I can get it as a widget
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Does Widgetsoid have an option to add controls for music? Like previous track, next track, play/pause, etc.??
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes it does. Volume control, Media scanner, Previous, Play/Pause, Next

Go to where you edit the widget, and in Advanced TAB you'll find "Notification". Check that and it's done
[HTC Desire S] :
Yes sorry I should have explained it a bit better as it’s not obvious how to do it.

Do as Rapier says. Create your widget, but in the advanced section, tick ‘Notification’ to put it in the notification bar, and tick ‘make invisible’ so it is not put on your home screen. :)

Edit: And the Donate version lets you pick your own icons for the widget symbols. Not gotten around to it yet though.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Facebook app for Android $ is still not avaiable and you cannot download it from market but if you have the apk file of facebook, you can install it. it works.

Only the contact sync doesn't work because of the API issue between Google and Facebook.
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
That's right. Interestingly enough Twitter sync works perfectly fine.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The indicator icon just shows that your connected to 3G (3G & HSPA both use UMTS) and at idle (not handy state, connection state) it just uses the normal connection. When data is used it switches to HSPA even when it's not showing it, cause evertime an 3G connection is established it uses HSPA for data traffic, cause it's the same network type it is related to.

VPN is not working in beta3r3
[HTC Desire S] eujene:
From what I learned, Facebook, Twicca, Whatsapp, Springpad and Foursquare are not available in the market. I'm afraid the case it not just app compatibility, but some build.prop setting - I've seen this several times on different ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
+1, I know at least FB and Whatsapp are compatible since they worked flawlessly when I restored them on ICS using Titanium Backup.
[HTC Desire S] budingyun:
well i'm ok with it.

the auto rotate is a features, but cannot off is a bug. :D

well i can live with it.

the best part is it can auto rotate in any direction 0-360'. btw landscape mode in ics look better though.
[HTC Desire S] :
Agreed. Much tidier. Lessons learned from Honeycomb I suppose. This is supposed to be a blending of Gingerbread & Honeycomb with some extras/improvements.

One thing I (personally) don't like however, is the permanent Google Search bar at the top of each home screen. You can't turn it off in settings, but there is a work-around for now. Go Menu> Manage apps> select Google Search and select 'Disable'.

It looks cleaner I reckon.

OK you have also now disabled voice search, but I never used that other than to show off Android to iPhone owners, and now they have that Siri thing anyway!

I know my way around my phone so don't need that feature to find things, and the stock browser handles everything else.

Edit: Anyone got their MMS working? Tried every iteration of Orange's MMS APN details I can find, but it just sits on 'sending'....
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Which clock widget is that...

I want that skin...:)
[HTC Desire S] :
That is Beautiful Widgets (the 4x2 Super Clock) with the 'GalaxyBlue' skin, and transparency set to 50%. :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've tried now. Sent an MMS to myself :) (noone around me has MMS working). It worked. I've send it and after a while I've received it

Note: I use b3r2 not b3r3...if that matters

Is it known that voice recognition force closes although I flashed 3r3 with Gapps from first post (earth, calendar,?? Voice search??)
[HTC Desire S] saimn:
OK, I have the apk file. I try this way.

But Facebook isn't the only app. I have 51 apps in my app-libary, but i can install only 3. (with the ics-rom).

With CM7, i can install all 51.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Use my version of gapps, all fixed. Superkid posted it a few pages back.

I've flashed this one.

I think so because I flashed so much last days :D
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
bug report.:

1.many apps Work,but almost all of them fc when click settings.

2.something must be wrong with music files.it shows unknown instead of names of the singers of chinese songs .all the mp3 are fine with sense and miui rom.

3.battery drain.this one could be ignored at this moment.^o^.just report it.

at last, thank you guys so much and sorry for my english
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
If you're using beta 3R2 there is an option in Menu - Preferences somewhere, that lets you turn off the google search bar.
[HTC Desire S] budingyun:
thanks for the google search tips. :D

i dont have battery drain problem, but now my bluetooth cannot turn on anymore.

New Gapps - http://www.multiupload.com/8UDYQYXZ8K

It has Maps (HEAVILY DEMANDED), Working Google Earth and Latest Voice Search.
[HTC Desire S] :
No battery drain here either. Got 20 hours out of first full charge, which is very good considering all the tinkering & testing that was going on yesterday, and the ROM hadn't settled yet. My bluetooth still turns on OK.

Re MMS: OK it must be something I'm doing (on 3r3) so I'll persevere with my APN fiddling.

May be a silly question but could we not just port the camera from sence or cm7 to this ROM till the new camera gets fully working
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I saw in one of the previous links that the GAPPS had 20111128 in their names...this has 20111125...It is newer than the other? Because to me 28 seems newer than 25:confused:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Not sure really, but i guess you do need to wipe.

EDIT: The package automatically removes old APKs, so you DO NOT need to wipe.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Sense camera is never going to work on aosp. And it's not as easy as just porting from one rom to another.

Please correct me if I'm wrong , but i believe that we need new drivers to get the camera fully functional.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Nothing like death threats to spur you into action, eh bro...?!!;):p:p:p
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
28 might have been newer, but it was crappy. It had no Voice Search or maps. No gapps yet has working earth, you manually need to fix it (which i have done in my package. I also removed the 4 unnecesary apps which we need to.)

Yeah, but it's the THANKS that motivate me xD

He's absolutely correct. We need to fully fix 3D acceleration to get camera.
[HTC Desire S] Rueben_:
I thought 3D acceleration was fixed in BETA 3r2 no? :p
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
with the kind of rapid fire i saw yesterday, i was hoping to see some action today :(

I love it, a big THANK YOU to the developers :)

I noticed some minor problems with the gallery (reopening the app results in grey images) but it is definitely useable on a daily basis.

Attached my home screen (I love the folders and the resizable widgets) :D
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Had the same idea but I was not sure

So thanks
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
But the i9000 ICS Version has a working camera except videos. Maybe this can include into the ROM
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
I just flashed this rom to try it out, but my touchscreen doesnt work...?

It's only the touchscreen because it reacts normally to hardware buttons... what could have gone wrong with something as simple as flashing a rom?
[HTC Desire S] llision:
Is there any update today?

When will the next version be released?

Aha~ I just can't wait...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sry I don't know, did you make a full wipe before (formatting all partitions except as)? If not try that and flash the ROM once again, don't restart in between, because there is no system present after wiping.

[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Rule one of XDA is you do not talk about ETA's :P

anywho superkid has school during the week so can only work on it at weekends, so during the week the main rush slows down, so releases might not happen until the weekend again
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:

Guys, chill out and relax, superkid will return when he's free!
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:

[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Why has it got the old music installed??
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That's not exactly old music, it's just from some other rom. The "new" one is google music, which you can use with the newly launched service to purchase songs. Due to this, it is default in ICS (purchasing can be done only in USA). But, it doesen't work, FCs all the time so this one has been included. It's either from stock GB or cm7
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
Google Music 4 can be used on ics but it has some graphic glitches
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Any clues to what's cooking for the next update,just interested before I get flamed
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Maybe, but the one included in superkid's early builds FC'ed like hell. Anyways, bottom line, it's there because it's best for us.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:

[HTC Desire S] Messengerskiller:
After a few days of testing beta3r3 version I'm sure smth is going wrong with mobile data and may be with connection to mobile network more generally. Someone asks here about "blue" and "grey" states of network indicator, but it still remained a kind of miracle for me according to what I can see on the screen of my DS.

The problem: sometimes phone can not connect to 2G/3G mobile data and even to mobile network while network retransmitter is only 50meters away from me. Switching to airplane mode and than back to normal helps, but it takes about 3minutes to connect to mobile network after such lifehack ;)

Also I can confirm more frequent connection breakings (compared to CM7based ROM I used before ICS).

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

No downloads for me too :(
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
No such problems for me with 3G/ data rock solid. Downloads from market are very fast and stable.

Have you checked your APN settings?

The signal indicator is grey if you have not connected to your google account. It turns blue once connected.
[HTC Desire S] Messengerskiller:
APN settings seems to be correct. It was the first thing I check before writing here. In fact I don't know how to check if the APN is fully correct, or not. The name of APN seems to be correct but I don't know what is "MCC", "MNC" and "APN type" variables mean.

It's OK. Thanks for reminding. But it seems to be that I can get internet only if the indicator is blue i.e. only when I connected to google account as you say. And it's strange, because most of time indicator is grey and no connection to internet is available for me. When available, it works fine for several minutes until conection breaks down.
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
I have entries for MCC, MNC and APN type for my Vodafone UK network.

On my network, you only need APN , Username and Password set to get internet connectivity. The rest of the settings are all to do with sending/ receiving MMS messages.

Sorry, but i cannot advise about your specific operator settings
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Does anyone have trouble posting a status on Google+? Mine comes up with an error about not being able to send to the cloud server, but i can see everyone else's updates just fine.

Also, someone mentioned music 4? Is that in the gapps package? And does it enable lock screen controls?
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Apart from the graphic glitches, Music 4 works well. It puts in music controls in its notification, and has lock screen details and controls too. I installed the 20111128 gapps, not sure if it came via there, or whether it was built into proxuser's rom based on beta3r2.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Check the links below to see the settings for your carrier. Theoretically, for you, only the APN name, user and password needs to be set. Leave the other settings as they are.

http://labs.megafon.ru/dev/#28:111291:2101:serv:7

http://www.jsmwireless.com/apn/apn-rt.html

http://nxwiki.blogspot.com/2011/07/megafon-gprs-mms-wap-settings-russia.html

The color of the signal bar is not directly related to presence of mobile data. If connected you should have a small 3G symbol above the bars. That means you have internet access. Blue/gray bars means that you are or you are not connected to Google services. And yes, if it's blue you have Internet access...it's obvious since you need internet access to connect to Google services.

Hope it works for you.
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
I installed 20111128 gapps on clean install of beta3r3 and I don't have Music 4.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
I'm using the apk from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350164

Few gfx issues, but is working pretty good
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
It must be included in Proxuser's rom then. He posted it somewhere in this thread and it is based on beta3r2. It also has a preferences menu for home screen which lets you get rid of the google search bar etc.
[HTC Desire S] Messengerskiller:
Nice to see that everything with APN settings is fine. Thanks.

All I want now is to check out what's wrong with network connection quality. As long as I have "No service" messages three or more times a day, I think hardly can I expect good internet connection.
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
My advice to that would be restore with titanium before syncing or adding your google account .. that way saved my day many times
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
One more thing you can try... in dialer dial *#*#4636#*#*. Wait for the hidden menu to appear.

From the menu choose the first option, "Phone Information". Scroll down and check the info for mobile data, maybe you can see something. Also check the preference of network type. I had it set to WCDMA Preferred, but you might want to set to others ("GSM Auto (PRL)" I heard that is good for battery life and signal). Maybe it'll work with other setting
[HTC Desire S] Messengerskiller:
Bored with trying to make it work properly and restored previous backup. Surprisingly I have the same troubles :confused:

OH NO THEY DIDN'T :mad: I sent them 5 PMs, for every beta we had out, and not one mention. The IS devs ported a DHD build and the front page :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

They used to have better devs than us, many more ROMs, but not anymore. The only difference between our devices is screen and camera, DEVs want screen, so no DEVs bought this. On the contrary, almost every dev here had his first experience with the Desire S, (including superkid) and now, we have waaaaaaay more ROMs than the IS. You check their forums, they're practically deserted.
