This might sound ridiculous (coming from a member that joined in 2008), but finally I got past my 10 post barrier, and can say my thanks and gratitude to lowveld in his thread for the ROMs he has created and maintained, which I love very much.

Been using Endymion since V2, and some AOSP ROMs occasionally. And now, my main ROM is Reaper. I love it because it's very fast, and in my desire s, the battery life is better than stock CM7.

I'm testing the reaper governor and happy with it. Fyi, I don't use juice defender or tasker atm, but using mugen power 1800mAh battery. In sleep state battery monitor widget shows around 10 - 12 mAh, which is I got in other ROMs too with mobile data (3G only) and auto sync always on. Reaper Governor with 245MHz Min and 1024MHz Max. Background data on. Brightness around 20 to 25%.

With heavy usage (my heavy usage of course) :

- frequent g+ messenger, yahoo messenger and whatsapp

- music player (more than 2hrs)

- some games

- mobile data always on (3G only)

- auto sync always on (google and whatsapp)

- GPS occasionally on

- market (update and install apps)

- browsing

It can last for a day use.

With normal usage :

- Some whatsapp and g+ messenger

- Switch to wifi at office and home (always on)

- 3G mobile data while on the move (off and switch to 2G when wifi on)

- Auto sync on (google + whatsapp)

- GPS always off

- Almost no gaming

- Some music

- no market

- some browsing

Can last for almost 2days use

I will post some battery use screenshots (like enigmaamit's) later as right now I'm still trying things with my desire s and the battery use wouldn't reflect my daily usage.

Many Thanks lowveld for your creations and efforts for the community. Will try my best to contribute to the community too. Still a noob in terms of android. Will update to 1.2 later after work.

P.S : @enigmaamit would you mind if I use your reaper banner in my sig? Thx
[HTC Desire S] shadiku:
Been using this rom since yesterday and I love it, much better than normal nightlies.

Also updated to V1.2 from V1.1, no issues.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Please feel free to use the banner. I'd be more than happy if you did. Its open for use by you and anyone else on this rom.

Beamed from the Dark Side using xda premium.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Btw... much better sleep state battery drain with the new version!!!

am i the only one who unable to connect 2G? if i untick the option for only 2G my data connection works!
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Thanks Lowveld for the great ROM as always.

One small question: do you think that by using Turbocharger V8.5 or Supercharger V6 scripts will improve the performance? or you already included some scripts in it?

Anyway downloading now! :)

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Just installing v1.2 now

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

That def looks a lot better mate .Do you leave wifi ,auto sync etc on at night btw?
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
updated to 1.2 :)

can someone please test google talk video chat and see if video works? the rom comes with 1.3 which should have video, but on mine doesnt. also, have tried to flash the various 1.3 installers with video hacks etc with no luck :(

also... and i think i know the answer to this, but i cant hide folders from gallery, this is a CM7 "feature" IIRC, and need 3rd party gallery?

but on a whole, new daily rom for sure :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Many thanks for the update lowveld :)

But can you please share what app works to UV?

As far as I know, OC beater doesn't spear to work on AOSP ROMs!

So how can one choose to undervolt?

Cheers!

Yes hopefully :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
tiktok seems adamant that this will not work. But i see two independent users claiming that it does. Well that's two for, and none against. Unless people with the same issue try this out and report no success, evidence currently points at this working somehow.

As Chris Martin once said : "If you never try, you'll never know..."

Cheers. :)
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Ok Guys, I arrived to Italy this morning. I ve been testing the GPS now the entire day on Endy and believe or not: It f****** works great! I have no data connection and still get GPS fix within 10-20 seconds! How can a piece of tape make this happen? I thought the GPS antenna is below the lid where the camera is. If this is stupid bug I am gonna send my DS back to HTC.
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
2 independant users

I was warily sceptical not 'adamant' I stand partly corrected, they are antenna, not just plastic ! I had a look with my jewelers loupe and could see worn metal.

So next step is verification of what type of antenna. And the definitive answer is quite simple to find by going to the FCC website.

The two antenna in the base of the phone are WWAN Tx and Rx.

The taped up antenna under discussion is the WWAN Rx antenna.

The GPS and Bluetooth antenna are both in the top of the phone.

Is it even technically possible that bypassing the WWAN Rx Antenna will have a positive effect on the GPS system ? Well the answer to that question is beyond by knowledge, however I remain warily sceptical and suspect this is not the reason why the 2 independant users are reporting success.

Incidentally, if you want to see the FCC picture showing the labelled antennas then go here:

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...e=N&application_id=909479&fcc_id='NM8PG88100'

Click on the pdf file labelled 'Internal Photo with Ant info'

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Out of interest, take the tape off and try again !:)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks for that link - very enlightening, and just the sort of thing I was looking for earlier.

I don't see how this can possibly work either, unless the WWAN signal is somehow interfering with the GPS receive signal. It would be interesting to know if the two people who have made this 'modification' are still able to make/receive phone calls or use the mobile data capability of the phone now.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
+1 to the above two posts.

The only conclusive way to prove it works, is to now take off the tape while in the same surrounding and see if the GPS lock breaks.

And conversely, to check if taping interferes with telephony and mobile data.

Thanks for the research tiktok and the input Simon. @tiktok, I'm not one to point fingers at anyone without cause, and there was certainly none here - adamant, skeptical, whatever you call it - these are not derogatory terms, just synonyms for a lesser malleable viewpoint - some people actually consider that a good thing - please don't take offence at my words, none was intended. There cannot be a discussion without contrasting viewpoints. If its a non-destructive mod that users are claiming is helping them, i just didn't see the harm in trying it out, that's all. Easily undone.

Cheers :)

Hey guys,

would be great to check the TAPE issue on Reaper. I will do so when I am back in Germany. For now I need a working GPS. Therefore I ll stay with Endy until next week.

[HTC Desire S] GSR-James:
Thanks for this.

I have a *small* issue.

I have flashed the ROM to my Desire S but when I power on the screen constantly cycles through a circular pattern with numbers and 'android' at the bottom of the screen.

When I try the buttons nothing happens and when I try the power button - nothing.

The only way to stop this is to take out the battery.

Please help someone!
[HTC Desire S] rel_dude:
That's the boot screen. It takes a while to boot the first time. Just wait a while.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
And make sure that if you have unlocked with HTCDev.com, you flash boot.img separately with fastboot.

That is about the only way you could get into a bootloop with a fresh Reaper install.

Cheers

I use latest radio and i have mobile connection problem. my connection (data and phone) totally lost 3-4 times in a day (or I saw only 3-4 times). It disconnects and connects immediately.

Is there anyone having this issue? I tried the older radio but problem still occurs.

Any idea?

Yes I have this problem. Both before I upgraded my radio and also now I am on the latest radio.

Don't know why.

Can i flash 3.0 over 2.2.2 with only cache&dalvik wipe ?
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
With the new update ucs didn't update so I removed it and flashed the rom new, but it just don't install... Can u make an update where just ucs reaper edition installs? Or the apk

Written in bad english with my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yes, you can. Actually, that's recommended if you don't wanna lose all your data by doing a full wipe. Its an incremental update... you'll be fine with just a dalvik and cache wipe.

Enjoy!! :D
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Just open the rom zip and extract UltimateCallScreen.apk. Although with my setup, it updated correctly...

Anyone else having problems?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
and just like that the reaper grabs hold of my phone again
[HTC Desire S] rel_dude:
Lowveld, awesome update!

In FTL Preferences when toggling background for the dock, FTL force closes although the change is applied when it restarts.

Also, I suggested a couple of pages ago that pressing on Applications in the FTL app drawer menu should lead to the Manage Applications settings screen instead of returning to the app drawer. What do you think?

Great work as always! :-)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
People having problems with UCS decline function

Ok,

There are some people reporting that the decline button is not working on UCS. Obviously I tested it before releasing the ROM, so we're missing something here.

So, anyone having problems, please report back to this thread and tell me if you are using the pdroid patch (and you may just as well try without the patch).

Cheers!

P.S. In case you're wondering why I don't do it myself, it's because I'm not running reaper at the moment and it would be a pita to change just for that.
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
getting a settings --> sound ---> force close

had issues with apps not showing in the app drawer after moving from 2.2.2 to 3.0, used tibu to restore them then got some random reboots, they went away but sound is still force closing and right now i've got full songs playing as email notifications so i guess its back to endymion

on that note, any ideas why restoring nandroid back ups still requires me to manually set ringtones and notification sounds again :S even though all the same files remain
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Has anyone found a cool picture for the default picture in UCS? I want to change it but my imagination is severely limited!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'll test it out later, I don't use the patch

You are such a tease! :D now you've sparked my curiosity on what else is on offer in your kitchen! :p
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No tease mate, working on Endy ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ooo, brilliant! :D

Also, a little curious, in the new Reaper 3.0 update, have you changed the default font? I dunno if its me but they look different!

I came from 2.2.2 with a cache wipe :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
The decline button in ucs does not work for me too. Made a clean install for 3.0.

Tried with pdroid patch on and off

Any more info needed?

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No, its the patch. Can you uninstall the patch, reboot, and try UCS to confirm?

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ttocs99:
ther ya go try that
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Already did exactly what you write.

But I just did it again, enable the patch again and disabled, rebooted and now it works. at least on outgoing call, could not test for incoming

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
One more thing.. I'm having random reboots and freezes since a few days. No matter if under heavy usage or with screen off. it started on 2.2.2, I already made a clean new setup. And 3.0 made it a bit better. the freezes are gone but it keeps rebooting at least once every hour :-(

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Ok, don't take this the wrong way, but have you installed any "unauthorized" version of UCS from a warez site?

If so, you have to clean every trace of it before trying to install this...

Again, don't take this the wrong way, but a signature mismatch is about the only way that package would fail to install.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
No the only thing I had is the old version from ucs from 2.2.2..

That I uninstalled..

Can you guide me to remove the old trash?

Written in bad english with my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No issues here! Been running Reaper for the past week - fantastic & stable here.

Made a clean install of 2.2.2, then upgraded to 3.0 a couple of hours ago - no freezes!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sure. I assume you now how to use adb, so:

To make sure of what is actually happening, first try to install the package manually. In the directory where you have UltimateCallScreen.apk:

adb install -r UltimateCallScreen.apk

This is apparently failing for you, but in the command line, it will tell you why. Please post back the result.

To completely wipe up every trace from every UCS installation you do:

adb uninstall com.lowveld.ucs

and you should also remove /system/app/UltimateCallScreen.apk, by any way you want to.

Then reboot, and try to manually install the package again and see what happens.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Just upgraded myself from v2.2.2 with a dalvik and cache wipe. Smooth sailing. No issues.

Still using ADW though - firstly, I've gotten used to it - the paginated drawer lets me find apps easily - FTL is soooooo fast, i get to the end of the app list in like 200 milliseconds, start grinning, and forget what i was looking for... lol!!!, and secondly ADW lets me choose individual icons, and rename them to whatever i want... for example, i use dolphin as my default browser, but i've given it the ICS browser icon, and renamed it to Browser. Looks cleaner than Dolphin Browser HD, plus the default icon sucks and stands out like a sore thumb in an otherwise perfectly cloned ICS theme.

That didn't stop me from trying out the new FTL though, and the new theming options are brilliant! Perfect blitzkrieg to spook my iJunk buddies when i want to show off how fast android can be!!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I was using ADW too, until Wednesday, when I decided to try out FTL :D

Now I've removed ADW and I'm using FTl as my main launcher!

I've given a simple approach to my phone, and have set up the screen like the 'pure' google way - only a few widgets, and mostly app shortcuts (pretty much what the retail Nexus S pictures look like)

It's great, and the speed of FTL is incredible!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No argument about that one mate!! :D:D:D

Ben, that's because you are using the market version. Reaper control can only open the built-in ucs version.

And what are you doing running Reaper anyway??!? :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Cheers!

Ahh...thanks (that explains that then) :)

I'm just restoring and then updating so that my saved Reaper backup is at the lastest version :D and in the mean time reminding myself what its like!

Note:

Although without intending to bash on about UCS backup/restore, BUT, a TB restore of UCS from Endy to Reaper (so GB to GB) still muddled all the names and pictures....:mad: Ahh!!

Now off to try latest AKOP build (although may hold off as I believe that a new build is due out tomorrow morning) so probably back to Endy before bed.;)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yeah, I hear you. It's not a question of GB-GB or GB-ICS, it's the random way the contacts get stored on the SQL contact database. You can install the same rom from scratch twice and the contacts still won't match.

Anyway, with this facebook integration thing a backup/restore function for UCS became even more critical, so it's my next focus regarding UCS, never fear. That and the usability issues you mentioned earlier.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Addicted2xda:

So far its great :).

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Hi Lowveld,

Great ROM, as good as ever, and getting better. This ROM makes me hope that I can't find a new phone I like and that ICS stays away so I have no reason to change.

I still have the question I had from v2.2 and before. Is there any way of 'fixing' the front screen so that my widgets don't move at all? I have managed this on other ROMs previously (although I can't remember how) and would love to be able to do it on Reaper as I only ever use one home screen and it looks weird when the widgets move left and right for no purpose.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey Simon,

Sorry, completely forgot to reply to that.

Of course you can, with FTL: choose only one homescreen, turn infinite looping off. I think that's what you're looking for!

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks for the reply LowVeld. Unfortunately that's not quite what I wanted. With a single homescreen and Infinite Looping turned on the home screen will 'loop' full if I scroll left and right. With Infinite Looping turned off, I just get the state whereby the widgets on the homescreen still move left or right if I swipe, but then bounce back to the centre. I have been able to stop this before, but I can't remember which ROM and it may well have been an add-on launcher function that changed it.

i think before people report bugs now we should make nandroid back ups of our phone then do a full clean wipe and install and see if the problem persists, if it does then it's a bug if not its something to do with your set up

[HTC Desire S] Guiding.God:
Awesome ROM - always my goto when I'm done playing with other ones. :D

Wondering how different is the Reaper CPU Gov setting than say smartass or performance?

My settings on v3.0 are the same as they were with v2.2, with same apps installed etc but my batt life is considerably shorter in similar usage scenario. The only diff is that I was running 2.2 with cpu gov set to smartass, using reaper in v3. It feels faster for sure.
