Download link is down - again....

Ok guys,

Just been warned that Hulkshare is not allowing downloads at all. This filesharing thing those Hollywood *****es started is really really annoying me!

Any way, apx@dwx has kindly given me storage on his server, and I'll be moving everything there, and hope that's it. I can only do that from home, so no Reaper downloads until there. Sorry...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Screen not turning immediately on incoming calls

I suspect this has something to do with the governors... Usually I set the Sleep governor to "Conservative" as a means for extending the battery life. The problem is that sometimes (not always) when someone calls me the phone first just vibrates, then the ringtone starts, but the screen stays off for about 5-6 seconds, so I can't actually answer the phone. Is this normal for "conservative"? I didn't have problems with the same settings in Endy.

Anyone had similar issues?
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Nyways thanks for all ur efforts...... will download as soon as u give latest link
[HTC Desire S] empirehell:
Hulkshare download is still available from france !

About battery, I reach 8mA with full signal HSDPA, wifi off, 245mHz cpu maximum, noop IO scheduler, 25mV UV.

With that, my battery last 2 days on moderate use.

If we can reach 1mA ==> 16d battery life :D
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Minimal 184mhz max 1209mhz screen on 40% GPS off, easy 2 days. If I don't start play games like gta 3
[HTC Desire S] chivas112:
Wow.. I was on ICS in january und just decided to downgrade to some Gingerbread AOSP ROM again (as I don't really like sense that much)

So I just flashed this and I have to say: It's awesome! I didn't discover any bug so far, ReaperControl is an epic feature, and the whole ROM is so freakin fast :D Another nice idea was to replace ADW with Zeam.

I'm totally comitted to this rock-solid CM7-based and tewaked ROM.. Well done !

\\Edit: An option to modify the statusbar toggles would be nice like in VQ =)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
You can modify toggles via CM7 menu settings.

Unfortunately Zeam doesn't support scrollable widgets, I've switched to GO Launcher with much more settings and customizations. I used to use ADW too but GO is IMHO better...
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yeah, as a general rule, I try to leave the original CM7 base as complete/untouched as I can, and add extra stuff to Reaper Control. This may become confusing, as some more or less related tweaks are on different places, but I believe it's the best way on the long run.

As for launchers, I think Zeam is the best compromise (among the free stuff) between features/performance, but that's my opinion. I personally use the paid version of adw, ADW EX. For me it's close to perfect, not only for the extra features it adds to the free version, but also because it performs way better than it too (I have no idea why someone would do that deliberately).

Cheers

P.S. I should be building a new version soon. One of the tweaks I was planning to do was just officially committed to the nightly code (there go some hours of wasted time for me...), disabling/enabling scrolling cache. Also the new kernel is perfectly stable (not that I expected otherwise, but...)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I thought when you change something in one place it'll change in another place. something like just reading values in correct place. But if your tweaks collides with CM tweaks, it'll be confusing to have theme in two places.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Maybe I didn't explain correctly. They don't collide, in fact, I went through a great deal of trouble making sure they don't. My all idea is to give users the option to only use the CM7 base of Reaper if they choose (minus some builtin optimizations). This means that if a user decides to delete the ReaperControl.apk, the rom will be fully functional, and all CM7 tweaks will work as supposed. Some examples:

- If I took out the existing key mapping options from cyanogen settings and put them on Reaper COntrol, together with the new longpress extended options (would make sense from a usability point of view), if a user decided to delete ReaperControl, he would be left with a "crippled" rom.

- If I decided to just add new stuff under Cyanogen settings, you would never be able to delete then from the rom. Not to mention the probability of the same files being changed in the nightly code and the headache it would be to maintain everything synced and working.

- finally the last example, if I start replicating option in both cyanogen settings and reaper control, it will work, it will not conflict, and the option would be updated in both applications, this I can assure. But do you really want the same stuff twice in the same rom? I think it would just be confusing.

Hope I explained better. The point is, I don't want to force or impose what I do on anyone. If you want a pure CM7 interface (thus spitting in everything else I've done :P you should be able to do it. Who am I to judge?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
i dont know if this comes from the reaper rom, but if someone call me, the ringtone lag like hell and i cannot accept the call

i use reaper 1.5 with my own pdroid patch, reaper gov, no oc/uv
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Never had issues. Can you try reverting the pdroid patch and try again? To revert the patch using Reaper Control (even your one), check the apply box, and then uncheck it, and then reboot. (although you should try and run Pdroid after the reboot, and check that is says you don't have the patch).

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] AquaSheep:
Anyone else having problems with opening .png files? The .png file stays low res when I zoom in even though the file itself is high res. And how can you add a dictionary to the rom? It's currently missing the Dutch dictionary.
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
know what? lowveld you is really a great dev! not only because you build brilliant roms, but also because you provide excellent supports and explanations! thanks you:D

New release V1.6 is out

Ok guys, here you go.

From my side, only the kernel is new. I wanted to build a new version specifically to check out the force enabling/disabling of scrolling cache that was introduced in the nightly code. I was going to do it myself, but someone got there first. :) Anyway, play around with it and check if it gets any smoother or not.

From my purely subjective point of view, this release seams faster than before out of the box.

Also please note that I tried to fix the issues with the first boot that Tectas mentioned, and as a result completely took out the gapps setup wizard. Well, nothing FCed, but I did encounter some strange behavior on a clean install at first boot, where the soft keys were not working (got haptic feedback, but nothing happened). It went away after a reboot, but I thought I should mention it.

Cheers

Download V1.6

http://desworks.de/android/reaper/Reaper_V1.6.zip

MD5SUM: 76b1f07320b6e32967235e1ef95a812f

V1.6 Changelog

- Synced to latest CM7 source (@2 FEV 2012)

.....New blade lockscreen

.....Option to force enable/disable scrolling cache (check this out)

- New kernel (V1.3) including:

.....SIO IO Sceduler

.....VR IO Scheduler

.....SmartassV2 CPU Governor

.....Reaper Governor now set as default!

- Took out google apps setup wizard (use settings->accounts->add google acount to setup)

Installation Instructions

- If coming from any CM7 release (official or nightly), or previous Reaper releases, you should be fine flashing over it and just wiping Dalvik cache

- If coming from anything else, full wipe is required.

- IMPORTANT: Uninstall OC/UV Beater before installing V1.6. If you uninstall it later, the app leaves stuff behind that will prevent Reaper Control from working properly.

- NOTE: I did a clean install of this and ran into some problems (soft keys not behaving properly). It all went fine after a reboot, and I could never reproduce it again. Fair warning...
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Good. They come out faster then I can use one :) hope this one have the same epic battery usage
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
There is a typo in the thread title - FEV instead of FEB.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
You're on fire lowveld! Just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait until you decide to dig deeper into the world of ICS (if you do). Until then, nothing, I mean absolutely nothing will pull me away from this pure awesomeness :-)

Just one question, which governor would be preferable, smartassv2 or reaper? And after reading about the I/O schedulers I suppose SIO is the way to go.

Cheers buddy!

Edit: lowveld: you might wanna mention that in order to get smoother scrolling, scrolling cache should be disabled ( at least that's what i gathered from the CM forum, I might be completely wrong though, in that case I'll just shut up)
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
gefilus, about your awesome battery usage: what radio version are you using? :)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Awesome stuff Lowveld. Looking forward to seeing the kernel thread updated too... ;)
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
No idea.
[HTC Desire S] AirwolfUK:
Lowveld

Can i just say thank you for a great CM7/ GB build.

For the past month i have been using/ trying all the ICS builds and kind of got used to putting up with some of the issues and apps not working.

Thought i would give this a go and i am astonished and impressed by that you have achieved.

Great work and i can't wait to see what you do with ICS once things mature a bit more

turkish Language

Hey guys,

While reading my email I see the lack of Turkish language, this rom, a rom, for example 3.5 Sense of characters in an e-mail is fully solve this problem?

Thanks..
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Hy guys, i think it's the other way around, if you want smooth scrolling you should enable the scrolling cache. Under the feature in cm menu it's mentioned " can improve scrolling speed at the cost of ram"...so it should be enables IMHO. I've enabled it...but can't say for now if i see some improvement.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually that's exactly what I wanted to check out. Theoretically, disabling the scrolling cache can sometimes improve smoothness. This option gives you the chance to actually override whatever the individual applications have set. I suspect that it will not be a case of "allways on or oallways off" being the "right" settings for everyone. It's just something to experiment with!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Ah man, I just switched to MIUI!

Great work lowveld. I wondered if you'd be releasing the new kernel seperately? Also, the link in the 3rd post goes to a hyperion kernel, which obviously won't work on AOSP :)

Thanks again, your work is legendary!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks mate. Yes, I'll be updating the kernel thread with the latest version. And thanks for the heads up about post#3, just removed the link.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
Are the ReaperControl***.zip and Reaper_stability_patch***.zip obselete now?

Since it's cold in Europe now it's a pita to answer the phone when you're having gloves on.

Is it possible to keymap the answer function of the phone to a physical button when the phone is off. And when you have answered the phone it returns to it's original state?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The stability patch is still valid for people experiencing instability on default settings. There may be some phones incapable of handling the default voltage table. All other patches are incrementally added to new versions, so they become obsolete on new releases.

As for mapping the answer to physical buttons, I don't know, never thought of it. It could be tricky because the volume keys are already overloaded with several functions (skip music tracks, ringer volume, etc...) based on context, but I'll check it out.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
For me it's better to set it off, couse i see some delays when open folders in the file explorer.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
You can experience the difference when scrolling long lists...best seen when using explorers...

But in your case it seems reversed which is strange ???:confused:
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
I just flashed 1.6 update and it all seems alot more responsive I'm not sure if this is todo with the new kernal or where I disabled the scrolling cache or even both but damn this rom rocks cheers lowveld you are the don :)
[HTC Desire S] caki25:
Hm .. upgraded to 1.6 from 1.5 and I was not able to unlock the sim. The unlock screen showed just for a quick second and disappeared... I was not able to bring it up even when resetting the connection.

Also, pressing the home button just blinked the screen and didn't do anything else... Recovering now, will try to remove QQLauncher to see if it was it that caused the issues.

Will let you know.

Edit:

Seems that the culprit was the QQLauncher lockscreen not allowing the PIN to be entered ... :) Working flawlessly now as expected from the Reaper... ;)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I think I saw it somewhere but I can't find it. I thought it's on GO Dialer EX but it isn't. Maybe it was GO Locker, but I don't have installed it at the moment.

Thank you for your explanation. I thought your goal is complex tweaking tool and duplicated items would be no harm but your goal is a little bit different. :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
v1.6 is awesome! Two questions:

Where do i find scrolling cache and what's blade lockscreen?
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
I can scroll even the long lists wihout scroll cache enabled. But I see, that it causes problems. The simple example - android assistant. When scroll cache is enabled there is a bit lag on tab "Procces" during scroll. Disabling it solves the problem.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Scrolling cache settings are under CyanogenMod settings>Performance settings (the one with dragons) :p

As for blade, it's a ring like the Holo, but with a frame/border around the circumference (not as minimalistic as holo)

Checked it out, backed up v1.6, and promptly jumped back to Endy (seeing the Sense 4 leaked video, v3.5 is probably the last Sense version i'll be using on this device, so making hay while the sun shines!!)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Doh! I went there and couldn't find it!

Also I really like the ring lockscreen but find it too laggy
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
lowveld, on Reaper 1.4 there was default CM7 memory managment type by default :) or supercharger profile?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

On V1.4 the V6 Balanced profile was used. As there was some doubt that it was causing more aggressive force-closing of background apps, I introduced the option to choose what you're using on V1.5. As of V1.6, the default is CM7 default, unless you change it of course.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
In the gallery app, when I select a picture that has been taken with the camera it does this kind of auto zoom and cuts off part of the picture? Is this just me?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
just checked and mine's doing it too. Don't use gallery anyway though
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
I've been using quickpic because of the extra features it provides.
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
I use mine a hell of a lot, syncs my picasa pictures etc :)

Out of interest what do you use for your gallery?
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Try quickpic, it's much sleeker, and as the name suggests, faster! Just checked though and it doesn't sync Picasa. JustPictures! does though, and has good reviews - might be worth checking out?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
well i just don't use a gallery! :p I hardly ever take pictures (which is why ICS was good for me) and don't really store images on my phone. The only time i ever use it is for screenshots or if i have to use it like for a wallpaper or something.

But actually thanks for reminding me. Time to clear out the crap on my phone!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Tried it, at quickpic it's even there for me. Are you having it too?

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] det66:
+1 Same here
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Just checked, and something's definitely wrong. It's not for all pictures (at least for me). And if you open them with ES Explorer internal viewer they show up ok.

There was a change in the nightly code for the gallery app some time ago:

Fix banding for 32 bpp images:

changed RenderView to support 32bpp window

changed RenderView bitmap formats to 32 bpp (based on 2c166fd)

changed CropImage to use the original image bpp

Change-Id: I7ab734c35e27bc7f7cdfcb655886dffe3ef8eac2​

I'll try to check this out.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
Also using V1.6 and gallery is working fine here.
[HTC Desire S] florek235:
@lowveld

Fantastic rom [ good -> better -> best and now the bestest :P ]

There is a lots of settings I0 CPU and so on /

Can you provide some basic performance settings for lams as me :)
[HTC Desire S] mkjensen:
This ROM feels significantly more responsive than CM9 and Virtuous Quattro which I have been using for the past couple of weeks. Until ICS on Desire S improves, I will be using this ROM. Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Got impatient waiting for a kernel to flash over MIUI so just installed 1.6.

It's just great - so fast, the response as others have mentioned feels really good. Now to stay up too late configuring it!

Cheers again lowveld, will donate when I get some money to burn!

Launcher2 addon in post #2

Ok, for those wanting to test how really fast a launcher can be, I added a flashable zip to post #2. This will install a modded version by me of the AOSP launcher, Launcher2.

Note that the launcher is not configurable, what you see is what you get. No changing dock shortcuts, no deleting homescreens, no nothing. Just the pure experience, plus a violent kick in the balls to make it faster.

Cheers

:D:D:D

Man, you're nasty!!

:D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
man that is crazy fast.

my old "AOSP" was a stripped down CM7 (almost bare AOSP except for the CM7 settings) plus frank's gb launcher until i started using the virtuous affinity.

toying around with this for the next few days.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Hi, still have problem with self closing browsers (stock and Dolphin) without FC. There are two logs one about week old (browser.log) and one from yesterday (dolphin.log). It seems like memory corruption, but everything else works fine at the moment. And also restart do the trick, after that it works fine too. I think it could be caused after playing games and problems with memory release or maybe something with Dalvik cache, but I do wipe every upgrade. I have the problem since first installation (I think it was 1.2).

Unfortunately I can't see anything relevant apart the crash itself in the log but maybe someone could solve this...
[HTC Desire S] Graafik:
Hi all.

I have two questions: Why is signal and wifi bar sometimes in different colors? Sometimes green a sometimes grey (not weak signal, that is different grey:D) - see attachement.

And the second - I have similar problem like Mr. Death, but with mail client (Exchange account). Sometimes when I read message, client do something like refresh or restart (display flashes, but no error message) and return me to the mailbox. It is really annoying.

Anyway, Reaper is such a perfect ROM and I really admit lowlend for creating it:)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
For your second problem, I don't really know why an app would just close. Sounds like it could be something to do with your memory settings. If you have Supercharger set to aggressive or insane, you could try balanced or CM7 default for a couple of days to see if that makes a difference.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
About signal, if you logged in with your google account the signal is colored, otherwise it's grey.

But this can also be used as an indicator for connection problems.
[HTC Desire S] Naff:
Something has been bugging me with the standard mail client. Why can´t you scroll freely (diagonally), like in the web browser?, you have to lift your finger to move left/right - up/down. Where as in the browser you can roam freely around the page?

Do i make any sense? :D

On another note i think i am experiencing some battery drain with 1.6, which app should i use to investigate further?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Had after the update also battery drain, solved it with a clean instal and by restoring just user apps and no data with titanium.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
to start I think this rom is brilliant but the only problem I've got with it is when I watch videos on youtube or espn goals the video quality is terrible especially on espn sometimes you can't see the football because its so blurry was just wondering if it's just me?
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
anyone else have a problem with the gps? mine is way off. like over 50mi to the south off. is there a way to correct it?

New release V2.0 is out

Ok guys, here you go.

This time I went through a different, and maybe not-so-much-appreciated path: the Launcher. I know this is by far the most personal choice we all make when it comes to android, and pretty much the first thing everyone changes after flashing, but I really wanted to do this. Hell, I liked it so much I bumped the major revision number of the rom.

What I can tell you is that in true Reaper fashion, built and tweaked by me from the ground up, this is the fastest launcher I've ever seen. At least give it a spin! This is also, to my knowledge, the first Launcher2 derivative with configurable number of homescreens.

V2.0 Changelog

- Synced to latest CM7 source (@6 FEV 2012)

- Ditched Zeam Launcher, replaced with FTL Launcher, built by yours truly:

.....Based on GB Launcher2 source code

.....Added stuff from oxygen Launcher2 mods (all credits to Adam G.!!)

.....Tweaked for speed

.....4 configurable quick launch apps on Dock

.....Support launcher auto-rotation (and fixed issue with some widgets crashing, like APW)

.....Infinite looping of homescreens

.....Turn on/off wallpaper scrolling

.....Support scrollable widgets

.....Configurable number of homescreens: 3, 5, 7 or 9

Phenomenal!

Clean install from 1.6? Or just to wipe Dalvik cache?
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Thanks Lowveld for the new stuff.

i have some questions regarding the launcher :

1. Does it have swipe up/down functions (like when you swipe up on the screen automatically open the apps, or swipe down opens the notifications?)

2. When in the app drawer after long pressing on any app does it have the ability to directly uninstall aps

I really like these features from Go Launcher EX and was curious if this one has them.

If the new launcher supports these features i will gladly switch..

PS : already downloading :)
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Oh come on lowveld, I've only been back on Endy a day and now this!?

Looks fantastic - downloading now :)
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
found a couple of things in the first few minutes of testing:

1. the launcher FCs after changing any quick launch app in the dock (touch+hold).

2. when you have just 3 homescreens, tapping home doesn't bring you to the center screen (screen 2) but brings you to the first unlike 5 or more home screens where home brings you to the center home screen.

it is pretty fast though. as fast as, if not faster, than v1.6 plus the GB launcher.
