How does it work on other players?

Because YouTube uses html5 and not flash as much as i know.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] :
- flash works so far but quality not that brilliant

-in-call speaker needs to be louder
[HTC Desire S] :
wifi drops signal, anyone else?
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
noob question,

do I have to backup my apps before updating to 2.1? or can I see my apps installed?
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Just wipe dalvik cache before flashing and everything should be there.

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] :
yeah that's what I did
[HTC Desire S] :
can the screen brightness been further lowered?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
No, not here.

[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Font changer sounds awesome!

Regarding your launcher, you're doing a great job, the only things that keep me from using it is the ability to hide apps from the drawer, and it would be nice to customize the swipe actions (I use swipe down for app drawer and swipe up for phone.

Another donation is on the way soon :-)

Btw, is it possible to change the in call screen? It's by far the worst thing in Cm7. No dialer I've tried changes it, maybe it's a pain in the ass to do so?
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
sorry you misunderstood I meant YouTube in the browser or with opera mobile
[HTC Desire S] apk24:
I have to agree on that one.

The incoming call screen, call progress screen, and the dialer and contacts are probably the worst looking in CM7 as compared to all other ROMs. I like th MIUI contacts and dialer and the call screens much better.

If @lowveld can somehow do something abput that, it would be a dream come true. I don't even know if doing so is possible or not, but either way, Reaper's the best ROM overall that i've found, and I am indebted to lowveld for such a fine gift.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
OK, then you mean the desktop version of the site, because the mobile one also uses html5 and has no possibility to change dpi.

Could be that the flash integration isn't as good implemented at cyanogen, it's still proprietary ^^

Can also be related to the graphic chip.

wifi problem fixed just disconnected and re-connected
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
I tested your tip "rom toolbox" nice and easy to change the font. So thx.

Sent from the middle if nowhere
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
That's the golden question, of course. It's all tradeoff, try them and choose what fits best for you. Personally I use smartass, and now the reaper modded one. And I'd stay way from Scary. It scares me. :P

No fundamental changes to the scaling laws. Just tried fine-tunning the load thresholds, how much time to hold before switching, and minimum frequency during sleep.

Cheers

P.S. Below you can find my poor attempt at a sigpic. In my defense, and according to my wife, I'm artistically challenged.
[HTC Desire S] shrike011:
I like sigpic :)
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
yeah me too. Lowveld u rock
[HTC Desire S] icemanxpe:
Awesome! Thanks Lowveld! Downloading now and just created a Nandroid back up of my Endy 3.1 (haven't upgraded to 3.3 yet hehe) and will flash this one. Love your work. Many thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Well, the sigpic is quite nice actually.

As for being artistically challenged, you've already disproved that with 'Gold Rush'. You're alright mate...

(though it's best not to argue with the wife...!! :p:p:p)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Never do, mate. I learn my lessons...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
When i first flashed Virtuous Quattro, i promised myself if i ever came back to gingerbread, it would be for sense. I thought no AOSP ROM could lure me back but this one did :P

The kernel is awesome, all the required governors to the stable and efficient CM kernel. You're really good at modifying kernels, the Hyperion and Endymion kernels are great examples :) When ICS becomes a bit more stable, maybe you could try your hand at that kernel.
[HTC Desire S] costa0212:
This is a very good rom fast I could get used to it.

they are a genius! :)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
This ROM is making me unable to put my phone down, it just keeps getting better and better!

I have a question though that is not directly related to this rom.

Anyone know if there's a way to show a bigger (and higher quality) picture when making calls?
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
thanks lowveld for this one, i'd say it is one of the fastest (if not the fastest:D

but IMO some of the system app icons are not looking good. well it's not really bad but their black colour are not very consistent with other apps.

actually android app icons are advised to be something "looking at the front side", (don't know if you got what i mean lol)

anyway this is quite personal:p
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yeah, it's a personal thing. I did that before I dug into the theme chooser code and understood what that thing was capable of. So somewhere in the future I'll revert all icons to stock, and build a Reaper theme according to my awesome taste. And I'll probably be the only user. :P

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Lol....!!! :D:D:D

But seriously, +1 on that. Would be good to have the system icons back to stock, with the option to theme them later on if needed...
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
I will try this ROM on the good feedback it has received, i've gotten too used to MIUI :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sure, agreed! But you have to understand my handicap, there's no way in Sense to theme the icons, so I thought I had to replace them. Wrong... Learning...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Learning...and getting better at it with each passing day!!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I love CM7, but MIUI is masterpiece in terms of design, pop-up menus, notification toggles and settings menu arrangement. And all of that on a top of CM7 kernel :) I am using it since I gave up on ICS (nothing special actually, besides some GUI polishing that MIUI already has) several days ago. The only thing that is bugging me that there are no "contemporary" governors. Maybe lowveld will take a look when he is done with CM7:beer:
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
strange wifi problem

Today soon after releasing V1.1 i flashed it at work, connected to saved company network and was happy with it:) After coming home, phone was unable to connect to wifi. Laptop and nokia connected, so wifi was functional. Phone could see neighboring wifi networks, but didn't connect to home one. I rebooted, didn't help. Restored previous CM 7.2 nightly system+boot, formatted dalvik+cache, still couldn't connect, but found other networks exactly as before... Then i deleted the config of home wifi network, and viola, phone finally discovered home wifi and after putting password was able to connect again...

Very strange, because similar was happening to me on stock sense 2.2, but reboot helped there. Now i had to delete the remembered network and reconfigure.

In logcat or dmesg i couldn't see any strange error related to wifi...

This didn't happen to me for the time i was on CM7.1 nightlies ever...
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Personally I like them the way they are ,but again I'm not a stock fiend!

Have Go Launcher on and that's changed most anyway.

Loving the rom btw lowveld!

I just flashed 2.1 over ZuluGen 1.2.1 and my first impression is: woah, this is much faster!

I'm testing now, but I think I will like this rom! :)
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
It took some time but i've found my culprit. It seems that an app called Trip advisor somehow prevented my phone to go asleep with Reaper version 2.0. In Reaper 1.6 this occurred once in a while.

I deinstalled the app. and used version 2.0 without problems for more than a week now.

At night i got a mean usage of current of 8 mA.

As version 2.1 came out i flashed it and noticed than the current used at night has more than doubled: 20 mA. And there is no excessive draining going on.

I will go back to version 2.0 and see if i get less drainage again.
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
With all resper roms I have exelent battery life

Wow!! -3mA!!

Care to share your settings? I mean clock speed, governors etc?

Hi, in date and time settings I've selected automatic .. Greenwich mean time GMT +0:00 , but my time is exactly 1 hour behind. When it should be 4 pm its 3 pm in my phone.. what is wrong here in my settings? Is there something else needed to be setup in settings?
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
please take a notice about your battery drain. i didn't use it for changing fonts but for freezing apps and stuff, man that app really draining my battery. if you do notice about battery draining, try font changer.
[HTC Desire S] :
I get a 5-10% drain overnight with battery didn't get this with official cm7.1 any help, maybe someone can share settings.
[HTC Desire S] :
I'm using reaper govnor & v6 balanced everything else i left same.
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
What does Deamon Controller do? should it be turned on or off?

btw, my battery drain is also about 5-10% overnight with wi-fi on. is this normal?

I'll user battery monitor tonight to check battery values and share my settings.
[HTC Desire S] :
my phone was in airplane mode
[HTC Desire S] :
been using phone for 1hour and battery is 77% not good
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Should I stick with cm7 memory management or v6 supercharger for performance?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I'd recommend the V6 Supercharger (balanced)
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
I'm using aggressive because in a benchmark , it has the same speed as insane, and it's much faster than balanced. (everything my opinion)

What is "using" (did you play games etc. ?) , and what are your settings in reaper control?

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] :
i havent changed anything just put rom on, changed to repear govnor, and v6 balanced, i was just browsing for 30 minutes, maybe if you can share you settings either here or pm, i dont think my phone sleeps properly either as in airplane mode overnight dropped 8%, this didnt happen with offical cm7.1 rom, may be tasker though.
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Thanks for your replies on memory management,I'm curious how supercharger works does it prioritize your most used apps I'm sure its more complicated than that though.will insane or aggressive improve performance more?also will aggressive kill or keep more apps in ram than balanced?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Here is what is used inside the script.

http://www.google.at/url?sa=t&sourc...OlaWzhPVBQM6t5ryA&sig2=eQYwWxfjnXQafVFm4XCFRw

In common aggressive kills background apps much sooner than the balanced profile, it uses different sysctl parameters to change the memory management, but also other things, like networkoptimizations,...

If you want more information take the 98kickass script out of the /etc/init.d folder and check the parameters, but don't forget to apply the patch before ;)

Hope this is what you wanted to know :)

I am more of a sense Guy but right now I am getting bored of it. So I switched to this rom but I am finding it hard to survive without sense. Any one can suggest the apps, widgets and customization that they are using will be appreciated...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Android Pro Widgets - For Scrollable Sense Widgets (like Friendstream, calendar, etc)

Beautiful Widgets (Flip clock, Weather etc)

BeWeather Pro (Closest to the Sense animated weather (the live video animation))

Start with these...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks and damn it ;), I wish he would have asked that question an hour ago.... I just switched to Reaper for a "another try" of the latest version amd launcher and came to exactly to the same conclusion so switched back....although fortunately I took a backup...so time to re-charge and restore.....

What Launcher are you running? and where did you get those lovely launcher icons?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I'm using ADW Launcher (Pro) with two themes, both based on ICS, one for the Launcher and another for CM7 Theme Chooser. The icons are a part of the ADW theme.

Happy customization to you ben!!

And welcome to Reaper. I promise you, if you spend one week on this ROM, you ain't never going back to Sense without feeling seriously retarded! :p

P.S. : If you like the Sense animated video like weather, i can dare to say that the BeWeather Pro animations actually look just as good. or even better than Sense 3.0/3.5. Check out videos for it.
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Hi

When I use the phone in landscape on the xda app I get a black rectangle taking over 1/2 the lower part of the screen, anything I can do to remedy this, other than not use landscape mode!

Really love the rom and as mentioned above surprised at how cumbersome sense felt when I went back to it earlier today.

this happens to me on dictionary.com app, any help too

Video issued

lowveld, I'm still experiencing issues with making videos with the camera - every 5-6 seconds the recorded video freezes for 2-3 seconds and then continues. During recording the preview is fine, but later the video itself is not good.

I'm wondering - is this a CM7 issue, or just Reaper? Or is it a matter of the correct settings?
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
since my first rooted minute i'm on cm7 and i never want back to sense. the widgets are good, and the connecting feature are awesome, but the toolbar is the biggest joke i've ever seen. :D
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
What class of SDCard are you using? If you use the one that comes with your phone it may be to slow to record HD-Videos. Had this problem before, switching to a Samsungs class (maybe 4 is enough) brought the solution.

[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
check your installed apps' settings.

for me, I forgot to sign out from gtalk and it's setting was auto sign in when reboot. unchecked the auto sign in and last night my battery consumption was -5ma with wi-fi on.

my other settings:

display brightness: auto

cpu governor: reaper (awake and asleep)

cpu mhz: 184-768(awake), 184-245(asleep)

memory: v6 supercharger(balanced)

hope this helps.

hi thanks for that, do I need to enable daemon control and also apply on boot in reaper control?
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I don't know what daemon controller do :D but I enabled it.

also I don't use cpu setting in cm settings. just using the reaper controller for cpu.
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Apply on boot if you are gonna stick with the setting but yes
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
If you use daemon you don't need to change anything in cm
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
It's not the SD Card - I've taken videos on it with Endymion - no issues. It's Class 4, but yes, it should be enough.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Okay quick question... Everything's working perfectly on Reaper and i'm very happy...except for one gripe that i have, and that's with the contact management and dialer etc... Is there any way to implement the Sense People-like functionality?

What third party apps are you guys using on Reaper?

I've tried Go Contacts EX, and it's a no-go... The app that came closest to my approval was Contapps Contacts.

But i want your opinion... see if you can help me out here. :)

P.S. : Lowveld's been missing lately...anybody know what kind of mischief he's upto?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Ah, you finally hit the wall that makes me say repeatedly there's no way to replace Sense's functionality. You can't buy it, because it doesn't exist. To my knowledge, there is no way to get even close to Sense contact management and integration. And I won't start with the mail client, which for corporate power users like me is a joke. And I mean ALL the mail clients on the market are a joke.

As for mischief, I've been busy with FTL mdpi version, sorry about that guys... Good news is that it also applies to Reaper, if you decide to use it. FTL now supports swipe gestures, and will soon support fully accelerated 2D drawer.

Again, sorry for not being around that much, but I only have a few hours at night after the rest of the family goes to sleep. During the day regular work has me swamped...

Cheers

P.S. I still have to update Endy, and checkout that font thing...
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
whats wrong with k-9 mail? :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
AAArrrggghhh.....

The force is strong with Sense...it seems to be drawing me closer with each passing day...must i succumb to it?

What to do...what to do...???? :(
[HTC Desire S] rel_dude:
I personally have been using Contapps for a long time, even back when I was still on stock.

I happen to like it better than the Sense contact management, and it also supports non-latin characters like Hebrew which I depend on.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sense contact-email thing:

- Multiple tabs to order emails by state, flags, whatever

- Threaded email view, with collapsible threads

- People app and widget shows latest contact update, whatever the source is

- Defining busy hours and update schedule based on that. Not that at least CM7 maill app does not respect autosync. Even if you turn it off, the mail keeps syncing. As I want push mail during the day, I have to turn off wireless during the night. If I forget, any email coming in wakes me (and worst, the wife) up

- Auto-Contact merging

- Exchange online directory: When I search a contact, if it's not on the phone, it offers to search the active directory on exchange: 3 seconds and I have the CEO home number on my phone

And lots more stuff I'm forgetting. Each and everyone a small issue. Put them all together, and the contacts-email thing is enough to justify buying a HTC phone. :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Great news about the FTL launcher...eager to try the swipe functions :)

Maybe a noob question : FTL is update-able directly from the reaper rom? (i'm now in endy :) )
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
the only thing i really missing.

in my opinion, the biggest misconduct is binding the launcher on everything else with the sense ui.

who really want to waste so much space on the screen for 2 functionally buttons... (no, i won't count the right 3rd button - who needs a customize-my-device-shortcut?!)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You do know that the "Personalize" button can be assigned to any third party app right? It's bound to Gallery on my device... you can choose your own... :)

I'm talking about Custom ROMs like Endymion here (I know you're stuck with personalize on stock)
[HTC Desire S] desiresiscool:
has the adobe flash problem been fixed on this ROM because i remember when it was 1.4 i couldn't play flash videos properly. thanks
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Anyways, i think hes right with that point, i even used go launcher instead of stock htc launcher when i was on unrooted stock rom at the beginning, it's a big difference to have one button to costumize (on custom sense) or about 10 (deppending if your using adw, go or ftl launcher)^^

The base apps are great at sense, but the the launcher and rom itself (speed,...) isn't the best at my opinion.

How should i say, aosp has the best base and sense the best toplevel apps (except the launcher and appdrawer) for my opinion.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I just played a video in-browser (BBC, if you must know) - BBC Flash video is working perfectly on the stock browser. Also, the You-tube videos in the browser as well as on the You-tube app seem to be working fine. (Both flash, and HTML5)

So the answer to your question is : Yes, the flash player issue has been solved.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Have to agree with you on that Tectas.... however, part of the charm of Sense is that nav-bar. And what are third party launchers for, anyway..? That is a choice easily made. But Sense is not just a UI... it's a philosophy...a way of life. And it's addictive.:D

As far is speed is concerned, Sense definitely takes an ass-whooping from AOSP (Why do you think I'm on Reaper?:p)

But you just can't deny the fact that on Sense, everything "just works" :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Damn, 2 philosophies standing against each other, for me it's almost the same with aosp^^

I've choosen it after a few months of using sense and can't revert back somehow, somtimes a try a new sense rom, but everytime come back to cyanogen or another aosp after a short period^^

Yes, on sense is most of the time everything just working (there where also some issues with exchange a while ago and don't forget about the logger apk ;)), but if you use a stable rom from cyanogen it's almost the same ;)

At nightlys your right, they got bugs and some things won't work out of the box like they should, but anyway, I know the possibility when i flash such a rom and i don't care, because i love to use the newest features, some more almost every week (ok not now, but before the built bot died^^) even when some of them aren't working that well.

That's the gift and burden of open source :)

Btw, maybe i think like this, because i use linux since some years now and i'm addicted to it too ;)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
There is my list of apps to get closer to some Sense function which were better. Most of it were listed already:

Go Launcher EX (even better with much more customization)

Go Calendar Widget with transparent theme (I liked scrolling agenda on Sense), but there are at least two more scrollable calendar/agenda widgets

GO Contacts EX (better contacts and dialer, but Sense is still better)

GO Launcher EX Notification (still missing calendar notifications)

GO SMS Pro (better than stock but Sense is still better)

K-9 Mail (stock one is terrible) for my use is maybe a little better than Sense one

Sense Analog Small Clock with weather forecast and system informations tooks only one row, I used it on Sense rom too

Business Calendar Free because stock one is terrible, still Sense is better

ICS CM7 Theme to get better look

And I wasn't able to get time adjust look like on Sense rom (I mean carousel stile time and date settings e.g. alarm settings or calendar settings,...), unfortunately it's deep in framework. :(

Also missing big missed call and messages on lock screen.

And Sense has a little better toggles.

Hope it'll help someone to use Reaper rom. :)
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
