[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
But if your phone doesn't wake up at night at all, why tweak the wake settings? I mean whether or not you change those settings will not matter at all if the phone never goes into wake state all night !

And as far as governors are concerned, let me try to explain, that since the inception of smartass, smartass v2 (aka virtuous), and the latest version - Reaper (should be called kickass, if you ask me!), there is no need to dial down the sleep state max clock speed at all. See, the way this smartass line of governors is designed, it has a built in screen for wake and sleep state. Just specify the max and min speeds you want your CPU to go to, and keep them same in both wake and sleep states... it will not affect power consumption at all...i am living example of this. (Refer my previous posts and screenshots). The smartass lineup automatically sleeps at the lowest specified clock speed (even if specified in the wake setup)

The upside of this setting is that the governor doesn't have to jump from a low maximum speed (specified in sleep) to a next higher clock speed (wake) when you wake up the phone...as the dialing up of CPU speed is well within the sleep parameters, thus allowing a jitter free and smooth wake up.

I hope this is making sense to you... and do correct me if i'm wrong. (This last line is particularly aimed square at lowveld!)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
It does mate :) and thanks .gonna change them now
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
For me i dont use governors, reaper settings is off, and still getting 8 in sleep mode but when woke up it around 34-74. I have overclock on 1,2ghz
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What do you mean by you don't use governors?

Who do you think overclocks your device to 1.2 GHz and brings the CPU speed down in sleep state?

I think you're confused buddy, because if you aren't, you're the first one using a kernel with no governor! :D:D:D

P.S. : Jokes apart, let me inform you that even if you do not manually change the governor, you're still using the OnDemand / Reaper governor (the default one - don't remember which one lowveld set as default) that is built in by default. There's no escaping that one!! :p:p:p
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Aa my bad. Sorry. It was ment i use stock what phone use all the time. I know sone use smartass or ondemand.
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I hope understand what I mentioned with it
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yes buddy, i understand what you were trying to say...:p

Just pulling your leg. If you're getting a good battery life and smooth performance, stay on your setup...no set-up (mine, or yours) is perfect, and has to be tailored to the user.

Thank you for sharing your setting! I understand you have recently acquired (or S-off'ed) the Desire S. Congratulations!

And yeah, welcome to Reaper!! :D
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I have s-off kinda long time now, first android. Got some bad staff with some roms now w8ing for ics. Ty for understanding and sorry one more time :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
One thing I have to mention about what you said, what about synchronization and partial wake?

This will also happen at night and puts the clockspeed to a higher frequency (maybe max set at sleep, but I'm not sure) or am I wrong?

Oh and about jitter, this should be no problem, take a look at the conservative governor, it does hit every step in between the start and the end speed and the only case where jitter is noticeable is while playing vids (and btw, this governor is made for pretty good battery life ;)), for me that means there shouldn't be any problem at the case of switching from sleep to wake state with different max speeds, but just my thoughts, could be wrong.

What radio are you using?

Not sure if this makes any difference, but i can only go as low as 11ma with this rom. Strange but true....
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi.

To answer your query, I'm using the same radio that came with the phone. I have never felt the need to fool around with the radio, as the one i have currently is very satisfactory.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

I'm attaching a screenshot of the version... (too lazy to type)
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Hey guys I'm not spamming before I get flamed but I have been using this rom from first release with no issues what so ever, Then I was at work phone working fine ten minutes later went to check the time and dead phone. Have tried two chargers and the phone won't charge no leds, vibration nothing. I have put a multimeter across the battery and got a reading of 3.95v. Any idea what has gone wrong and what are the chances or them telling I was S-off on a warranty repair. Cheers Gordon
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Lol why bother with S-OFF and flashing a custom ROM then?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Because S-on limits the potential of my phone.

Because i cannot use two-way call recording without a compatible kernel, or rooted apps.

Because i cannot remove bloatware from the ROM otherwise.

Because i cannot install system tools and tweaks to improve and rectify bugs on the device.

Because then i can use a custom recovery and flash add-ons.

Because i cannot use a complete backup tool like Titanium backup on an unrooted device.

Because i can then take nandroid backups.

Because doing so enhances my user experience, and i can "fix" everything that i see is wrong with the phone.

A radio flash is not required because there is no proven benefit of changing it if it's not troubling you...

Hope that answers your question. :D

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
All those things above - still not broken! :p

Thanks for your in depth response though lol
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hi Gordon,

Sorry to ear that. I read your thread on that issue, and with those symptoms, it looks definitely like hardware fault. I'm not trying to avoid any kind of blame, but I'm 100% sure this rom could not have caused it... Phones do die of natural causes, that's what warranty is for anyway.

As the phone does not react to anything (not even gives those vibrate patterns indicating hardware issues), I'd say there's a pretty good chance that the guys at the warranty center will just replace the motherboard or give you a new one, and will never try to check if you were S-OFFed or not, you should be ok.

By the way, this is a pretty good example on why you shouldn't unlick with HTCDev. If you had done that, HTC would have the serial number on record, and automatically deny you warranty. As you're an old-timer from the Revolutionary days, you are ok.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Dude, I'm short on patience today. I'm asking you politely to go troll somewhere else.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Relax I wasn't even trolling.
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Hey lowveld was not passing blame at all, I took my chances and really have loved all your roms. Thankyou for the reply and thats what I was hoping to hear in a strange way. Will request a warranty repair and post the outcome.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Hi, yesterday I've encountered very strange behavior of Dolphin Browser. It was crashing after few minutes of using without any error. I've tried app killer which I usually don't use, it didn't helped. Solution was restart but not sure if it's permanent solution.

Also I think REAPER governor is rather power drain. I've got 2 day battery even with Sense roms, but now it lasts about day and half. It seems ondemand governor helped, but there is significant slow down. At the moment after 9 hours after charging, two phone calls, email check is 15 minutes (but 5 hours on roaming without data), few minutes of email reading on Edge is battery on 98%. If it's reliable, it could be record! Maybe there is a space to improve REAPER governor? Or create second one with more battery preservation but with more power than ondemand?

And last thing, but I'm not sure, if it's Reaper problem or CM7 or Google or operator. Two of my IMAP email accounts on the same server wasn't able to connect via GSM, it worked with wifi. After switching one of them from SSL to normal they started working both. After switching back to SSL it works fine. I'm going to move to K9 Mail anyway, but it could be bug or something...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
First, if the issue with dolphin happens once again gather some logcat information about the crash, but can also be a app problem no ROM problem. I'm using it myself and never encountered such an issue.

About the governors, yes reaper costs a little more battery (lowveld told it's more made for performance than battery), but if you use it only for wake state and not for sleep there should be no big impact at battery life. Otherwise you also can try the savagedzen governor, it's also a modded smartass, but more balanced and less made for performance.

The mail issue I also never faced myself, you can try the same like with dolphin.

Oh side mark, did you restore your apps and the related data with titanium?

If yes, try to delete and restore them without data, this can cause such problems if the app data has been gathered on another rom.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Hi and thank you for your reply. Dolphin wasn't restored with data, mail wasn't restored at all. It looked like automated killing of Dolphin, no error, just it went to home screen. I'll try logcat and see what really happened. Maybe restart helped and it won't happen again.

I'll try SavagedZen, I think I used smartass on Sense roms, it seems faster than ondemand, lets see how much it'll drain battery.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Did you flash the disable mtweaks patch? If dolphin was in the background when it was killed this should solve it.

Some time freeze in Google search but no force close.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Works here.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I'm confused with all the bug reports here... I had been on Reaper from the date of its initial release till about 2 days ago... and EVERYTHING just worked, right out of the box. I've never encountered force closes, or instabilty, or any issues significant enough to be put into an actual bug report. Makes me wonder...
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sneak preview...

Working fine, changes on the fly, no reboot needed. :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Cool!! Any possibility of mapping the search long press to custom app? Like in the rosie option in rctweaks on Endymion where you can map the personalize button to a custom app? It may be asking for too much... But its just a suggestion. Do consider the feasibility of such an option.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Its already included in Cyanogenmod settings, under "input" or something :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Just press you can set there, not long press ;)

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I guess he's already working on it, that's why the screen is "just" a sneak preview^^

Great, can't wait to try it :)

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Yes you can set long press action for home, menu and search... Atleast in Reaper 1.4 :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Look once again, you can set long press for home and menu and press for search ;)

[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Hihihi :) ,just for once in a while i just love to be right :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Damn, should have gone deeper into the menu, sry and thx :)

Lowveld will bite himself in the ass, hopefully it's somehow useable for his sense roms.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] det66:
+1 mate. No probs here and using since the great man released it :D
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
No probs :) , but for what Lowveld is doing is includings as it seems advanced power menu and screenshot options to a "long press button" which is not yet available in any rom or tweak or anything as far as ive seen and googled :) . Waiting for that!!! It seems pure awesomeness!!! Thx for the sneakpeek Lowveld.
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I know this option to take screenshoot when press power button + home key , I think its ported from sense 3.0
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Oh yes, that's true, sry I'm still a little bit tired, also waiting for that^^

That's why he didn't include a custom app at his preview ^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
This feature is already there, the difference is that it looks like it can be assigned to long press of the search Burton in the next version.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Also no problems except those little things I confirmed.

But, we all got the same phone, but our phones aren't the same ;)^^

Troubles with android market

I've got fresh installed rom and i can't update or install apps from market.

Market download app (it doesnt matter update or install) and then mobile reboots :(

May be i missed something during installation?

Thanks in advance! Without apps from market life is boring :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Did you try to clear market data?

What means fresh instal? Did you wipe all partitions before flashing?

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] pearer:
Nope, maybe this will give a shot!

Yeap, cleared user's data, wiped dalvik cache.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes, I would be very pissed. :) Actually it was my first idea, then Sick pointed me to that menu and avoided me hours of pointless pokiyng around.

Correct, I tried (and succeeded, it seems) to leave the "standard" assignments to CM7. I'm just adding what you couldn't do before, like the APM and screenshot function.

I still want to test some things, like what I can do with the Home button. I also want to try some stuff with the screenshot (I'm currently broadcasting the intent, I'll try to do it instantly).

I'm rambling.:) Bottom line, it's being fun.

They are on, have tried flash player 10 and 11 . Still flash don't work
[HTC Desire S] Naff:
Im having problems with flash to, i have sound but no video using adobe flash.

I know there where a solution some pages back, some chmod commands.

Are there anybody who is willing to give a "noobproof" guide for fixing it?

Thanks for a great rom :)
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Tee if some 1 know how to fix. Before 1.4 flash worked but with lags but it worked now no.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
To get flash working use adb shell or install terminal emulator at your device.

Open it and type

su
chmod 000 ./data/data/com.veetle.android.lite/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

2. possible way would be to use a root explorer (i.e. es file explorer with root and system as rw mount enabled) (don't forget to enable show hidden files) go to the directory discribed in the chmod method und change permissions at the config.data file to nothing (untick all).

As last step make sure, it is enabled at your browser.
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I don't have veetle directory. And i found adobe in com.android.browser changed there no diference
[HTC Desire S] Naff:
I dont have that directory either.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
That particular solution was for a app called veetle, that downloaded the flash plugging.

If you are having problems with flash, locate the flash plugin, and chmod the file I mentioned.

This is a flash issue, not the rom. Plus, you guys say it's not working, but can you give examples? I just went to YouTube and it's working fine, haven't had to patch anything.

If you are using external apps like BBC player or whatever, that's other issues.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Maybe the correct path is:

/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data ?

PS: On YT I've got black screen too, but other web with IGN video worked. And after correcting permissions works YT too. But why is necessary to remove all permissions?

lowveld: Could you add function for holding back button to close app? I think I saw it on ICS and sometimes it's useful.

I located the config file, and it works now, thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
If I change user agent to Linux or any other destop based flash works ok in YouTube, PhoneDog, inbox.lv, mby some bug for me but tee kinda interrsting
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I managed to get the rom going again byt pulling battery, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then reflash.

But after that my phone rebooted randomly all night, I've seen this in other ROMS I've had as well, and I think it has something to do with Llama and the fact that it disables APN in the night but I can't know for sure, is there any way I can check myself what's causing it, or can I provide you with a logcat or something that would include what happened tonight?

And thanks for your great support, a donation is on the way if I can get my paypal account fixed!

Cheers!

Installed on a newly set up CM 7.1 Nightly ... went good straight up !

No issues wot so ever! Did not have to set up everything again :D

Just a Dalvik wipe & was good to go :)

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

I've noticed this earlier, when I was new to the Custom Rom scene.

I had similar Random Reboots / Boot loops with Virtuous , Hyperion, etc .. Until I

realized that it was an conflicting app (e.g. : Quick Settings) causing it.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I'm pretty sure an application is to blame but problem is that I have no idea which one. How do I find out?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
I found out after installing each App (that I thought would interfere) one by one... & observing.

Harmless Apps like Facebook ,etc .. shouldn't be a problem ... U can install them straight away !

In my case , may be the Quick Settings App was interfering with the Default Quick Settings options in the notifications drop down tab, or something like that.. {Just a Guess, ... }

Cuz, after installing Quick Settings , the Reboots / Boot Loops were back again . . .

After that , I've stopped installing any such App which would interfere with the ROM Functionality / Tweaks in the ROM.

Greetings from the land of Sense...

I normally don't use vanilla ROMs like CM on my phone... and have always been, and still am, a fastidious Sense addict. That was absolute, until the ICS betas started pouring in, and i actually started using an AOSP for the first time. There are glitches, obviously, in the current betas, but i can see a very promising ROM slowly taking its baby steps. But this made me take a second look at AOSP ROMs...

And amid this ruckus, Lowveld released the very nihilistically christened "Reaper", and me being hopelessly addicted to his work, couldn't resist flashing it. I must say i like the bare-bones OS in a certain sterile, functional way, and with a certain amount of (read : extensive) tweaking, i've finally set it up in a way that i can feel comfortable with. After changing things like the message agent, dialer, theming etc, it comes very very close to the ICS experience, and suddenly, i was left wondering... "What's so different about ICS that was missing in GB?" I'm not talking APIs and geek stuff here, i'm talking about end-user experience. Does the UI justify the OS? I don't know yet. But almost everything ICS has to offer (in its current state) has already been present in GB all along....

I just realised i've been ranting like a madman. Sorry for that, and i would like to conclude by saying that i really like the speed and lightness of this ROM, and with some tweaking, it has managed to give me the exact setup i need. That is hardly possible in a Sense ROM, which is a ***** to tweak yourself, and so far only Endymion has found the perfect balance right out of the box. I must say i have virtually no experience with CM previously and frankly, can't tell the difference between this ROM and the original CM, but this is FAST!! Really FAST!

Reaper shows great potential....with the new kernel improvements and tweaks that i'm sure Lowveld will cook up sometime soon, i think we are poised to witness the most profound experience that Gingerbread has to offer.

Thank you once again Lowveld... for creating and maintaining the three best ROMs for the Desire S.

Attached below are a few screenshots of my current Reaper setup.

Nice review :) pics don't work :( what dialer and theme etc?

To the Dev. Love the rom. Coming from Endy and Miui. This is fast fast FAST! First time trying out CM on desire. Good work!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
If there's one thing that the rom fixes over the original cm, it is lockscreen lag! Also much faster. really nice to see more AOSP roms here. Great work
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Sorry guys, i don't know why the pics didn't show up. Re-uploaded them on the previous post.

It's actually no big deal... I just made GB look like ICS to test my theory that if the UI were different, GB already has everything essential to offer out there. What it lacks, can easily be made up by third party apps... So while i keep testing all ICS betas, we already have what we are looking for right in our own backyard!! And it's awesome!!
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Cool thank. What apps have you used?

I have tried the ics theme on market simply called "ice cream sandwich" Says it covers all launchers. Looks ok on adw ex Not perfect. But ok. Still interested to see what others have used...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
for those who don't already know, get spare parts off the market and set all animations to fast to make it feel faster! Not sure if it's already been done as i already had it set on cm when i upgraded.

also launcher pro, when messed around with, feels a lot faster than zeam.

Finally, lowveld does this include the webkitaccel.zip for a hardware accelerated browser? Thanks again, loving this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
thank you lowveld for this great rom....superfast:cool:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Well I asked a question too previously related to GPU UI, but got no answer from lowveld :( :(

I guess the zip you mentioned is the same as editting the build prop with a line to enable hardware acceleration.

I have done so for CM7 I'm using now, and it works great! Snoother browsing :D
