[HTC Desire S] basse1978:
Anyone still using Reaper?

I tried most of the other ROMS around but somehow I always comes back to this. This is by far my favorite ROM in terms of stability and speed!

Been fooling around with ICS and JellyBean, but I can't really find any major reasons to upgrade yet. I actually think this is gonna be the final ROM on my Desire S before its time to upgrade to a newer phone.

Don't really know why I am making this post except a shameless bump to a great ROM, and a HUGE Thank you to Lowveld!
[HTC Desire S] alidsd:
I am also using this ROM, If developer updates this ROM (cm 7.2) then I have no plan to switch from this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Why should LowVeld need to update the base to CM7.2? This ROM works perfectly - I keep trying the newer ROMs at weekends, but always re-flash my Nandroid backup before Monday morning as stability is my core requirement during the work week.

As and when one of the ICS/JB ROMs reaches the same level of stability and functionality as Reaper then I will consider changing, but I still think that is a way off yet.
[HTC Desire S] alidsd:
no dout, its still the best Rom.
[HTC Desire S] Jenson_P:
Still using and loving it. Just like basse1978 said, there's no reason to change to ICS or JB at the moment.
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
I realy want to use this ROM, but I have the keyboard issue, sometimes some keys freeze, and I have to wait 5/10 seconds to key become alive again... This happens in all keyboards I have tried(stock, swiftkey...).

And this problem only happen in this ROM and CM7, sense Roms are ok.

Anyone with this problem? Any Solution?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
For some reason when I flashed this rom earlier today I got a complete lock up twice where the screen stays on and the phone is totally frozen, this has never happened in the past when I've used this rom so not sure what's caused it

Update.. All working fine now. I formatted my sd card (of course backed up photos etc), and not restored any data from titanium..seems to all be working fine now
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Offtopic again, but last night I flashed Reaper for a trip down memory lane... and now I'm hooked. Reaper was the ROM I spent the longest with before Fallout, and it was really nice to be back - it's so solid. My fallout installation was getting a bit laggy, don't think Reaper even knows what lag is.

Anyway, just to echo the other recent statements really, if it's stability and speed you want, go Reaper!

Bought FTL and UCS pro versions too, recommend it as they're much better than the ones that come with the ROM, and it supports Lowveld :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks mate! And I agree with you, Reaper is the fastest thing I ran on my phone, hands down.

Unfortunately Sense roms put an heavy burden on any phone, and Endy is slower. But still, the slowest of them all is Fallout. Not to say that in compares badly with the "competition", I think, and lots of users report, that Fallout is faster than other Sense 4 roms.

But how fast your phone feels is purely a matter of relative comparison, and what you remember of the past. People tend to forget, or adapt memories to the current experience, so what you run now is "good", and you remember what you ran before as "slightly better".

I'm rambling, but what I mean is: anyone on Fallout, or any other Sense 3.5/3.6/4.0 rom, flash Reaper, use it for a day, then go back. You'll see what I mean.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
What rom are you currently running?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Fallout. But each time I do an update to UCS or FTL, I try it on all of them (I mean, mine), and always cringe a little when leaving Reaper...
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
I'm back to using Reaper its so fast its ridiculous
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
I never tried Reaper back when it was first released but would like to try it now, but the link in post one is not working and I cant find another link in the thread.

Could somebody post a link or point me in the right direction please.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Mirror links above
[HTC Desire S] tep_kubo:
having tried all sorts of ics roms and being extremely disappointed, i decided to give this a try. i have no idea why anyone would use any rom except this one. amazingly reliable and fast. i am still having the problem below but i really am nitpicking!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm currently running Reaper - have been for months now - and I can't replicate that issue. I am using the premium version, but I'm sure it didn't happen on normal either.

Take a Nandroid backup, then try reflashing the ROM and installing the XDA app before making any changes to the setting of Reaper or Cyanogen.
[HTC Desire S] tep_kubo:
i've tried that, but only for the dictionary app (which is where i encounter the bug). a full wipe/cache etc etc reflashed the rom and installed dictionary only and it happens (i've done this twice i think).
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
Thank you :)

Reaper V4.0 released

Ok guys,

I've promised I would update Reaper, and I did a couple of days ago. So many things have changed on CM the last 5 months (!!!!) that I wanted to test it thoroughly. So I've been running it for the last 2 days. Diagnosis: No issues, and stupid fast, as always.

Soooooo....... If anyone wants a trip back to Gingerbread and raw performance, here you go.

Cheers :)

P.S. I know everyone changes everything on their phone, that's why we are here. But I ask you to at least try using FTL and UCS for a couple of days before changing launcher / disabling UCS. I would really like for you guys to experience Reaper as I do.

V4.0.0 Changelog

- Synced to latest CM7 source (@7 OCT 2012)

- Lots and lots of changes on the last 5 months, too long to list

- Took out PDroid patching support from Reaper control: the patch potentially screws up a lot of things. You want it, do it yourself, your responsibility.

- Updated FTL to V3.1.3: I recoded the screen transitions since last Reaper, much smoother now, even with Live wallpapers

- Updated UCS to V7.2.0: for those not familiar with the market versions, this is a completely different animal than the version shipped on previous Reaper

- UCS can now be upgraded from Google Play and still be called from Reaper Control.

Download V4.0.0

http://d-h.st/Z0m

MD5SUM: e5af9bdeae00d07f1f8e663e81a7922f

Installation Instructions

- It's been over 5 months since last Reaper, too much has changed. A full wipe is required, period. You won't regret it...

- Flash the V4.0 zip
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
WOW. So fast.

Im back to GB.

Obrigado :)
[HTC Desire S] Addicted2xda:
Oh boy! Was waiting for it :D.

Thanks a ton. Ever since I started using 3.0 could not use any other ROM for two days at a stretch.

Cant wait to download :)
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
reboots

high, thanks for the rom.

When make a call the screen turn off immediately after i press the call button and after finish talking i can't turn on the the screen. I tried to press the on/off button, volume button (i have volume rocker on) nothing turn on the screen and the phone reboots by it self!

please help. this happen every time i make a call. I just installed reaper rom so i was playing with all the settings before this happen. After install the rom a an hour ago i didn't received any call so i don't know if this reboots caused by my settings or the roms problem?

thank you. its a really fast rom.
[HTC Desire S] kuramaenvy:
THX finally i can upgrade my rom...love reaper rom ;)
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
i may never move away from GB now. LOL
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
ThankS Lowveld

Just Wow...

It is really lightning fast and smooth
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Amazing! Thanks yet again Lowveld.

Some (probably stupid) questions:

A few games that worked fine on 3.0 are claimed to be "not compatible" by the Play Store in 4.0. Wind-up Knight and Where's My Water mainly. Tried rebooting and clearing shop data but still the same. Forgot to TB them, and don't really like using TB anyway.

I bought FTL a few weeks ago, I'd like to use the one I've paid for over the preinstalled ROM, but Play Store says it's already installed. It's no big deal as the preinstalled version is fine, but what's the best way to install the Pro version over the Reaper one?

Amazing work yet again mate
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The "not compatible" thing is probably because you were running a ICS/JB rom, and Google Play hasn't updated their internal database to your new device/OS. Give it a few hours and see if it fixes itself. I checked and "where's my water" is also not available for my phone... I'll try to check on my side if there's something wrong though...

As for FTL, my bad... I forgot to change the java package name so people could still install FTL pro from market. So either I release an updaet to Reaper with the corrected builtin FTL, or you will just have to delete the app, but it's a bit of a pain:

- First install some other free launcher (FTL Lite will do)

- Use some file explorer with root permissions to delete /system/app/FTLLauncher.apk

- Clear market data

- You should be able to download the pro version just fine

Don't forget to install some launcher if you try this, or when you delete the FTL apk, your phone will become unusable!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
I had a spontaneous reboot when I turn on the screen... Someone is having reboots?

+1
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
+1 already reported it in page 187. i'm going back to fallout 5.0 as this reboots are very frequent. may be it is some settings i changed earlier.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Had another look into this and it's definitelly a rom issue (I jumped to fallout ans installed with no issues). Well, a rom/market issue to be more exact. Did a little search and the issue is pretty common with some games, there's even a thread about it right here on the Q&A, but no solution/root cause. I'll try to check what the hell happened.

I've had no reboots at all in over 2 days, but there were always a small percentage of users with reboot issues on Reaper. Most were caused bye the undervolting settings.

By default, the kernel is somewhat undervolted. Please go to Reaper COntrol, and under the UV settings, apply +25 for both sleep and awake, and check if this solves your issues.

Skumara's thing is more serious though, if it happens every time you make a call. To rule out UCS (which I highly doubt is the culprit), disable it for incoming/outgoing calls in UCS settings.

Cheers

screen turn off

other than sense 3 and 4 ........This screen turn off thng is too irritating for me.......that was the only reason which made me move away from reaper 3.0 though its a amazing rom.........

I did all my "google" ing thing...removed screen(uncovered the sensor) ...used proximity sensor related apps ...all most al....but no use.........man HTc licked me with this sensor(prox+light)...............

Any sol my mate?

Nice to be back on Reaper, hope I can hold my flash-a-holic breath... :p

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Downloading themes should be straightforward, it just opens the Play Store app with a list of themes. Have you manually opened the Play Store and agreed with the "terms and conditions"?

It looks that what's FCing is actually the Play Store app.

And by the way, it won't let you rate the app, as didn't actually install from the store. But thanks anyway. :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Actually on my net playstore is not working... Will try at work... But in any case it shall atleast open the playstore and ask me to add an account.... Isnt it

RE: Restarts

I had to switch from Reaper 3.0 last week because I got a lot of restarts and battery drain like mad, but I'm fairly convinced it was because I fiddled with the OC/UV settings. Haven't touched it yet in 4.0 and it's been fine so far. Reaper's fast enough anyway, don't really see the need!

It seems to be update week :D

I just flashed Reaper 4.0 and had no problems doing it.

lowveld, what about a s2w-reaper-kernel? Would this be much work for you?

Yeah, I think many here would like this feature. :)

Still unable to install some games like Where's my water...

Any idea what might be wrong?

agps

unfortunately i'm still having the same agps problems that i had on 3.0 (which is quite annoying only because everything else is amazing about the rom). it's hard to formulate the problems exactly as they vary. i've experienced the problems even immediately after reflashing.

sometimes the gps is just completely off. this is usually fixed (at least temporarily) by clearing the cahce/davlik cache as suggested in the original agps thread, but i've had it reoccur sometime later.

sometimes it takes a long time to find the location in google maps. although when i'm on gps status, it shows that there are fixes but the speed it does this does not seemm to change whether i have agps patch on or off (although the number of sats is never higher than 4 without the patch). i've tried clearing all data in gmaps etc but this doesnt help much.

sometimes it doesnt find the location at all (in fact that's what's happening now.

am i a minority? it seems like this happens all the time, even immediately after a flash so i would assume that i'm far from the only one? possibly it's a hardware issue? anyway, any help would be appreciated. thanks
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Have you flashed the GPS fix from the dev thread?

sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The included patcher on Reaper Control actually uses the patches from the dedicated thread. But don't forget to reboot after, and for the patched to actually do anything, you must be online when you open the gps enabled app.

That being said, I never hard issues with gps on reaper, although I remember some users complaining. But apparently there are some users complaining on every rom, so I'm left wondering if it is actually the roms fault or the device, or some weird combination of both.

Hi there :)

Any chance to get a flashable zip for your kernel ?

I am still using GB MIUI and I'd like to use your tweaks (SIO scheduler, UV and o stuff you cleaned).

Thank you
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
It's in the 3rd post in this thread. I remember MIUI being much smoother with Reaper kernel!

Just in case anyone has the same issue: I did the fix for replacing Reaper FTL with the Pro version, and after a restart it kept crashing and a "License Error" window popped up (that I couldn't click because of the constant FC'ing. If this happens to you, just Fix Permissions in recovery. Very likely a freak occurence, but just in case!

Sound control

one question regarding the sound control on the lock screen.

Whenever I try to play / skip next song the sound control buttons don't work.

It displays the current track / album art but I have to switch via the normal widget.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Thanks for helping.

whoa, good to see new version! i was messing with angry birds yesterday and i was unable to unmount SDcard so i ended up pulling it out/in few times. now it seems that something fcked up and im gettin soft resets when i have SD card plugged in. phone loads normaly, i can even start all SDcard apps. then, after few minutes phone soft resets. black screen, then reloads homescreen, network and all.

tried to wipe dalvik and cache partition(regarding the initial app problem). phone is only stable when SDcard is not inserted.

i had the same problem many months ago and i had to reinstall ROM because of this. did anyone have similar problem with this ROM? i cant flash new ROM just yet, because im using my phone for internet right now(and for next 4hours).
