At your Screenshot the toggles are widgetsoid, right?

So how did you get a working mobile data toggle?
[HTC Desire S] mdeejay:
its not possible now
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
What so???

N also can u tell me what's wrong with fast five I played it smoothly on miui....... NW in pics its too laggy
[HTC Desire S] B3rtbot:
With the implementation of hardware acceleration in 7r1 it was silky smooth; the app drawer, scrolling etc was liquid. But since that beta everything seems a little degraded and laggy. Even with the Trebuchet launcher things still stutter. I don't wanna overclock because I'd rather keep the battery life, but I'd still like a liquid smooth ROM. I'm not asking for a fix, rather if anyone else has noticed this? Neither am I slating as the work these devs are doing are beyond me, I just regard my point as a step back.
[HTC Desire S] :
Quick answer: Its not working! Hadn't tried it until you mentioned it! Try the APN way of toggling.

Edit: Root toggle works.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
maybe not flash related then :( Flash is loaded but iplayer says not compatible with this phone
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
@m-deejay: could it be that we are not really hardware acc. are the moment? There are lots of error messages from hardware composer in the logs. "hwc_set invalid list or module" What does this mean?
[HTC Desire S] mdeejay:
1) its REAL hw accel.

2) something CRT animations related... not so bad...

Anyone else got key backlights not coming on in 8r2?
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
Try covering the sensor (left from htc logo) and see if it works. Mine works ok.
[HTC Desire S] :
Tried that. Worked after rebooting the phone, but it needs total darkness. A very dim room (keys can't be made out) doesn't bring them on.

[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
On 4EXT, did you use the "data wipe/factory reset" option or the "wipe all partitions - DANGEROUS" option?

EDIT: I just updated my outdated recovery and it still doesn't work. Guess it requires S-OFF.
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:

Umm yes, you will need S-OFF to flash any rom that is not an official HTC rom.

I think with s-on you need to flash the kernel through fastboot manually afterwards. Just extract it from the ROM-Image. Was mentioned in this thread before (around Post 460).

You have an s-on phone? Maybe you need to flash boot.img separately from fastboot then, for the flash to be succesful.

Strange! I've had this issue with all ics builds so far. And it's not only that it takes those 40 seconds to get a network connection... the phone stays locked the whole time! I was used from other roms to enter my pin and get back to home screen while waiting for network. But now it keeps displaying the pin input mask all the time!? How is this for those who don't have to wait that long? Back to home and wait there or also the pin mask while waiting?
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I actually timed it this time. 17 s from turning off airplane mode until I was back in. Wifi and network both showing blue by that time.

Screen goes blank during the process but pressing the power key shows the display again.

And what are you seeing when pressing power? Still lock screen until unlocked or home? For me it also turns black very quickly but pressing power does only show lock screen again. So that you think you have to enter the pin again and again...

Something I wanted to ask earlier but always fogot...

When trying to flash a new ROM through ROM Manager app it always fails on ICS builds. It seems like ROM Manager signals the download location as "/mnt/sdcard/...." to the recovery but there it should be just /sdcard/...". So I always have to choose the zip manually.

Question:

Is this a ROM issue or a ROM Manager issue?

[HTC Desire S] mtothearkus:
Are the driver for camera not included in the HTC kernel source?

Do not understand why it is impossible to port them from cm or other earlier aosp builds.

Do not understand me wrong, I do not want to mess around,I am just wondering and I am interested in the technical issues....

Personally I think that all the music players that have come ICS have been poor, they appear to be not configured correctly and at full volume they make the music break up badly, its the only thing about ICS i don't like. I wish i could find the music player i got with the stock rom on the phone it was really good.
[HTC Desire S] admds:
Great job again guys. Build 103 is another step forward.

Just curious. Is the SU issue present in this build?

What headphones do you have? Do you have the eq settings active? Sounds fine to me at high volumes. I'm a big advocate of Poweramp anyway.
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
thanx a lot m-deejay!!! Someone who tried this release has noticed big changes from the previous? I don't understand all the items in the changelog...I ask this because I'm flashing a release every day and everytime I have to restore apps XD so if there isn't big changes I'll wait another release :p
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
You don't have to full wipe every time unless mdj says you have to! So no need to restore apps. Wiping cache should be ok for most of the updates.
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
thanx mate...You're right...I'll try so as you said :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Why are you restoring apps after every new flash? Are you doing a full wipe before installation of newer builds?

You don't have to do a full wipe. These builds are incremental updates to the older ones, being built from the same AOSP source. So all you need to do is to wipe cache and dalvik, and then flash on top of the previous build (unless explicitly instructed to do otherwise, i.e change of base, etc). You'll retain all your settings and apps that way...

That's what most of us have been doing since the first beta...

EDIT: I see your question has already been answered! :p:p:p

My market seems to be broken in the new version (B8R4)

On 3.1.3 (old one), it doesn't download apps, and after updating to new version (3.4.4), it says cannot download app due to error -101

Any thoughts?

I did a dalvik and cache wipe before upgrading... previous version had market 3.4.4 working flawlessly
[HTC Desire S] admds:
No problems with the market here.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Okay, just found out that the Market Error -101 is actually a volume-download restriction implemented on ICS (Only the Galaxy Nexus seems to suffer from this).

When you download too many apps in a short period, or you restore a bunch using Titanium Backup (which restores market links), the Market prohibits you from downloading further apps till a certain lock out period (usually till the next day)...

Just got my market working back perfectly by removing and readding my primary Google account.

i used to be able to modify it but i cant remember how now
[HTC Desire S] mtothearkus:
Just quoting because got no answer and it is a big pages "behind"
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
If I'm correct its because of the massive changes to the camera in ics. Older stuff from cm7 or HTC just isn't compatible. Porting would be too much trouble and it would be easier to build new drivers which I'm sure the cm team are working on. I'm sure a quick Google search would give you a lot of answers as this has been asked plenty of times.

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No, it doesn't yet
[HTC Desire S] :
Loving this latest build. Had a serious play with it now and can’t find anything wrong that we don’t already know about! Confirm tethering working for me too. Visual artefact glitches have stopped, browser and gmail all behaving. Getting excellent battery life and its slicker than a buttered weasel. All home-screen lag has gone (the ICS live wallpaper was causing some beforehand) and its now much much smoother than before. Truly excellent work! Thanks very much again m-deejay and Superkid for such fast and tireless work. I have a stable daily ICS ROM just in time to go back to work which is a must for me. Top banana.

FYI Swype fans: Another XDA member djdarknight96 has done some very nice skinned beta Swypes to download via his website. This includes a stock ICS keyboard themed one which obviously suits this ROM very nicely. XDA thread link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124639

(For reasons I don’t understand his mobile web page isn’t very friendly with the webkit browsers! Best use Opera, then scroll down to the bottom of his page and select ‘View Full Site’ to get the full desktop version which works much better, or just use your desktop PC in the first place.)
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Been using this ROM since B4 or something, and as my daily driver since I think B6. As first point: many thanks to both MDJ and Superkid for the awesome work, and others in this thread for support by ways of answering questions etc.

I installed after a clean wipe 8r4 yesterday. (I had to recover some settings from my previous saga3D ROM I hadn't properly backupped at the time I was switching)

Now I'm finally through the 10post-limit, I would like to share some points I noticed during use with you.

Before full wipe the facebook sync didn't seem to work for me at all.

Now it does work, and even seems to sync some pictures though not all. Looks like only the ones I hadn't in contacts before?

On a side note: ICS desperately needs automated contact merge like sense ROM's. Sometimes have 4 or 5 entries for the same contact :O (G+, FB, Gcontacts,...?)

A pretty minor point: I still sometimes find the UIfont al bargled, although a lot less than in earlier betas.

Here an example from settings:

Going back and forward to general settings didn't resolve this, scrolling down the page did however. Hope the dev's can work with this.

The newest version of Swype has an issue with downloading languages on ICS, even after this mornings update. This issue is known and a workaround is found in the android fora:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417131

I'm also trying whether using appextractor to copy an systemsettings from an working nandroid backup works, but have low hopes.

Edit: Ah restoring the apk+data from my sense backup worked, now trying whether it gives problems when updating. For now no progress to be seen. Anyway, got my keyboard back.

Edit2: Update complete, though this is not the most recent orange-themed Dragonspeak version. I don't care much about that though.

Edit3: wnp posted about swype before I ended this post. Seems these are the newest version as well so that's a solution too.

I found out the musicplayer has issues with .wma-files: it recognises the names of the tracks and even finds the album art, but doesn't recognise the artist. No big deal so far, but it also refuses to play the files.

I know I shouldn't wanna use any .wma files, but long ago when I was younger and less wise I thought it was a nice format and ripped most of my music in that format :(

I don't know whether this is an AOSP issue or a ROM issue though?
[HTC Desire S] mariotg:
guys, nice work, but I back my old rom because camera not working!

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Lets not turn this into the DHD thread. The camera is a very hard task. Give the devs some time and don't ask for ETAs. Again a quick Google search would've given you a lot of info
