I am using this rom.. i switch to jb but due to some bugs, revert back to Reaper - never miss JB.
[HTC Desire S] Android-UK:
Ask in the Q&A section about other ROMS, stick to the dicussion of this ROM here.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Titanium Backup

Whenever i try to integrate system app updates in rom using titanium backup it fails...

It uninstalls the updates instead of integrating.... Any idea

Otherwise best rom and best battery life
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
I'm back to this rom again, so much faster than anything new around and battery life's good which is what I want.
[HTC Desire S] twiice:
wonders apon wonders

Great to see 4.0, Just logged back in after a few months away. Was hoping you would update Reaper. Thanks Lowveld. Ur a nice guy:good:
[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
I can't decide between Reaper, Endymion or Fallout to use as the fastest daily ROM. Currently on Fallout. Any tips? :p
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Fastest? This one, hands down.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
Which one are you using? I literally keep switching between Fallout and Endymion, can never decide which to stick with. Gonna try Reaper now.

Cheers from Porto!

Lowveld has an n4 now, but i do believe Reaper was his daily

- Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Still installed on the DS. It's my go-to device for app testing before releasing. The N4 is too damned good for it, nothing ever goes wrong, and it's always fast no matter how badly I code a feature.

Back on topic: Reaper, Endy and Fallout is the order of "speed". As daily, and for people who enjoy sense, I still believe Endy is the better compromise. Fallout has better looks and some nice features, but it's too heavy in my opinion.

Cheers

- EDIT-

From Aveiro :)
[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
Thanks for the answer, guess I'll go back to Endymion for speed and because I'm used to Sense. Is it ok to use it with the hboot/radio,etc.. from the ICS RUU or does it work better on the GB firmware?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Should work fine with whatever combination you have. Although I personally never changed hboot, I still use the "original" Revolutionary. I don't know what radio I'm on, but never had any issue with any of them.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Addicted2xda:
Any plan of releasing a version 5 (ICS / JB)?
[HTC Desire S] gt500kr:
He already has, Fallout Evolution is the ICS rom with sense 4.

Camera freezes and video freezes. any solution?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Yeah. Full wipe. I've never had a single problem with this ROM since the day it was released and I'm still running it on my backup phone now.
[HTC Desire S] mujeeb999:
I always full wipe before installing a rom..

Do I have to downgrade HBOOT from 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000?

No, your hboot should be fine

[HTC Desire S] mujeeb999:
I did format all partitions except sdcard from ext recovery, installed the rom but camera freezes. Please help me.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Try formatting your sd card, backup any data first
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
If you mean that when you turn on the camera, the image is frozen instead of a "live view", then you probably have a Desire S with the new kind of panel. That is a problem for AOSP and CM roms (at least 2.3.x based), and I have no solution for it.

Sorry...
[HTC Desire S] mujeeb999:
yes, image is frozen. Is there any mddi kernel for gingerbread?
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
I have lost haptic feedback and can't get it back. Settings for it are checked and enabled.

What should I do?
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Be grateful
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Try enabling it then rebooting.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
I rebooted but it was not active again even it is enabled. I restored another rom, then restored reaper again. And it is magically active now.
[HTC Desire S] Wh00sher:
I`ve been getting frustrated with living with a `slow` phone. Even Endimon lags a little at times.

Thought I`ve give Reaper a try.

Installed it, put on the usual stuff, GoSMS, Swiftkey etc and it flies.

For anyone who has kept installing newer and newer ROMS and living with the reduction in speed over time, this is a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, it may not be quite as nice as the later ROMS, I miss the quick `close app` feature of newer ROM`s but that's a minor concern. I don`t need the latest and greatest. I use it as a phone for most of the time rather than anything else. Odd web browsing and Facebook. It does those things very well and just because newer ROM`s have newer features I never even used, I obviously don`t miss them ;)

Wish there was a `vibrate` ringer when setting the ring volume to below minimum and having the option to change the sound on/off from the lockscreen to a camera instead would be nice, but I realise support has stopped and they are very minor concerns.

I`ll be sticking with this for the forseeable future.

Thank lowveld.:good:
[HTC Desire S] bam82:
Back onto this ROM after messing about with newer ones for too long, along with holo launcher and locker it is perfect!
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
Hi lowveld, just a question, recently cyanogenmod release a patch for “MasterKey” exploit this includes the CM7 and CM9 source. would you mind if we ask if this awesome ROM can be updated to the latest source? thank you! no matter what i do, i keep coming back to this ROM. thanks! mwah :*
[HTC Desire S] nedst:
Totally agree with you.After instaling so many new roms i thought the phone is real slow i have to get rid of it.Now using this rom as a final solution because it's fricking fast and stable,thanks creator!
[HTC Desire S] DJBrie:
I agree with the above comments; so much better than the jelly roms.

Just got one small problem, Google play music force closes I try to stream a track. I've tried clearing data and installing music+ instead but neither worked. Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
i am using Google play music, no force closes. all good on my side - clean install

scrollable widgets

Hi guys, can anyone confirm if scrollable widgets is working on this rom? I have tried with ADW, Zeam, FTL but no success.Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
oh man, there are already ages since I moved on newer ROMs, so cant confirm scrollable widgets worked, but I would say 99.999999% it's worked.
[HTC Desire S] baraev:
Well on mine it does not work! Also on my wife's moto atrix 4g it does not (2.3.7). And after countless times of flashing the rom i am tired. Thank you for answering though :)
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Hi guys. I am experiencing some sort of unresponsive touch every now and then. This was easy to solve with off and on screen. But yesterday was kinda major, whole screen was unresponsive, only power button was working. Had to pull the battery.

Devise is s-off with hboot 7 and latest radio. Clean install, i suspect it to be kernel, so i tried a different kernel but same result.

Is there some sort of setting i can try? Rom is very smooth btw. No comparison.

Turning off Swipe-to-answer for calls

Haven't figured out if swipe-to-answer (semi-lock screen) can be turned OFF for Reaper v4. I just started using it and figured out how to completely turn off UCS but maybe its still producing the swipe-to-answer. I don't have any lock feature enabled in my dialer app (exDialer). I just want to be able to press answer on dialer app and answer my calls. I HATE lock screens and swiping. Thanks.

depends on the app if it has key mapping but i believe you can use sixaxis to map keys

Alright i'll try IT out wit An emulator. Thanks for replying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yalkowni:
let us know your reslults
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Donut42:
I haven't tried many Emulators, but I've tried FPSE, Mupen64Plus, and N64oid. FPSE is the only one that does not recognize the keyboard (or any controller plugged into it) as an input device with the latest update of FPSE. It worked before the January patches though, so I'm sure it's just a bug in the coding.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] aliaselchore:
The sixaxis controller has worked great for me. It even works through the tablet to move around add navigate.

Sent from my RevolverTransformer using my dock and the XDA premium app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Esoth:
Double check that you're using the Default US keyboard, and not the ASUS one. It never worked for me if I had it set on the ASUS keyboard when using the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] hakarune:
I don't know about the standard Transformer, but the Prime can map the to the dock on FPSE, you just have to go to menu setting map H/W buttons and do each one individually
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] BULL3TPR00F:
GTA III can use the dock without any mods. Arrow keys to move, space to jump.

as for the other controls, no idea lol, i just know i can walk and drive with the arrow keys :P

is that where you battle with fantasy cards? if so, Android has some decent games like that. I know they had some really good ones on Ipad so I'm sure those are on Android also. plus Assassins Creed has a card battle game also that just came out not to long ago.

I'm on Valhalla-Final with it's stock Kernel. I had a Bad flash which resulted in my IMEI becoming 0000000000000. :eek:

My phone is working fine right now (I can't download Swype Beta. I get can't install Android Emulator Notific) on Valhalla-Final AND I have my (Pre flash) efs folder backed up on my external sdcard and my laptop.

My back up is different than my current efs folder. It has my IMEI #, ect, in it. It is Good.

I have researched and read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12807550

But a fix for me isn't in it.

What do I do??.. I could delete my Null efs folder and paste my back up then reboot??..

I DON"T WANT TO MESS THIS UP. To me the only thing worse than this problem is a Hard Brick.

Any Advise will be Appreciated.

I ALWAYS Give Thanks! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
First take out the battery for 10mins and see if the IMEI is restored after you power it back on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I've tried that twice already and I'm doing it again right now at your suggestion..

right before the battery pull I copy, pasted and rebooted my backed up efs folder to the efs folder WITHOUT deleting my current and 000000000 efs folder. That did not work. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
FIXED!!!

I deleted my 00000000000 IMEI efs folder and copy and pasted my pre-flash efs back up using Root Explorer (Paid version) Then Powered down and Powered up.

My IMEI AND Wi-Fi MAC address are both restored!!.. :D

I guess I knew what to do but wanted confirmation.. I don't have a contract and paid $500 for my phone so Mod with Caution..

If I have Your/THE answer for you I will ALWAYS give it even if I think you should know it or find it on your own.. Probably because I can only help on a few things so I'm proud to and not burnt out helping Members LOL...

Thank God I came here when there was no CWM or ROMS and it was so Dead People were EAGER to Help me. Because I knew NOTHING.. This is my first time Rooting and hacking Andriod. My first Forum..

I Love this Phone, It's Devs, Themers, Modders and Members!!

THANK YOU ALL!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Now that my IMEI is restored I just downloaded and installed Swype Beta...

If you get a " Can't Install Android Emulator" Notification check that your IMEI is not 00000000000..

[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
can't you build a kernel and try to sign it using that file?
[Defy Android Development] lord0815:
password is the right password for this file but currently i dont know if the bootloader is signed with that key - but its possible...

But also i think it would be too easy ;)

Maybe someone can try fastboot with that 'unlock' password?

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

The pkcs file is still 'secured' by password "password"...
[Defy Android Development] omyg:
not much I can do right now...

./p12topem.sh engineering_key password

^ this command extract engineering_key.pem from engineering_key.p12 container (using password)

you can see, that original alias was "engkey" (not "engineering_key")

openssl x509 -in engineering_key.pem -noout -enddate

notAfter=Jul 16 21:25:06 2035 GMT

^ this is expiration time for this cert, I think this prooves that it was not recently randomly generated (this is good news) - see below to compare it with other certificate (which can be generated with provided shell scripts by openssl)

/system/core/fastboot/

so, here we can find:

genkey.sh - to generate random pem key 2048 and pack to p12 using password

p12topem.sh - to extract .pem file from .p12 file

signfile.sh - to sign any file using .pem (i.e. generate text.txt.sign for text.txt )

for research, we can use genkey.sh to generate similar engkey.pem and engkey.p12 ourself:

./genkey.sh engkey password

this command generates genkey.pem , pack it to genkey.p12 , and deletes genkey.pem

./p12topem.sh engkey password

this command unpacks engkey.pem from engkey.p12 (so we can use it to sign files)

./signfile.sh engineering_key test.txt password

this command generates 256 byte signature with sign prefix ( in this case test.txt.sign )

so, after I generated random engkey.pem (engkey.p12) using this tools, I got similar key to provided engineering_key.pem (engineering_key.p12), but what is interesting - date is significantly different

openssl x509 -in engkey.pem -noout -enddate

notAfter=May 28 14:53:37 2039 GMT

openssl x509 -in engkey.pem -noout -enddate

notAfter=May 28 15:18:48 2039 GMT

^ this is examples of expire dates for recent random cert, compare it with date of provided file:

openssl x509 -in engineering_key.pem -noout -enddate

notAfter=Jul 16 21:25:06 2035 GMT

that mean it is not random key, or it is random key which was generated with this tools 4 years ago
[Defy Android Development] lord0815:
IMHO someone should compile fastboot - as i know we currently have no fastboot with our defy ?!

Entering fastboot will perhaps let us unlock bootloader?

I have no system ready with the android source and compilers... So maybe

someone else can do this but i dont know if there is something else to do with

compiled fastboot than signing it?!

May knowledge about bootloaders is at a minimum :)

but - information i these files tell us where to place kernel etc?!

memcpy(hdr->magic, BOOT_MAGIC, BOOT_MAGIC_SIZE);

hdr->kernel_size = kernel_size;
hdr->ramdisk_size = ramdisk_size;
hdr->second_size = second_size;
hdr->kernel_addr = base + 0x00008000;
hdr->ramdisk_addr = base + 0x01000000;
hdr->second_addr = base + 0x00F00000;
hdr->tags_addr = base + 0x00000100;
hdr->page_size = page_size;

The mkbootimg.c file and dependencies are also interesting..
[Defy Android Development] omyg:
just a follow up, we can get issue date for provided key here:

openssl x509 -in engineering_key.pem -noout -startdate

notBefore=Feb 28 21:25:06 2008 GMT

this is day of engineering_key.pem certification , and it was long before before Motorola released 1st android device (october 2009)

so, this certificate is not random and does mean something... hope it will be useful
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Can an update zip be signed with it so we can test if it works in stock recovery...(I know this won't work but still curious...)

They were dealing with different engineering_key.p12 file. If you look in kernel sources released in 2010 (Defy too) this file was protected by different password.

Tried Defy EMARA Release (engineering_key.p12 from 21.10.2010 08:12)

Isn't this key just the one from aosp? I can't check if they match right now.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_core/blob/ics/fastboot/engineering_key.p12

[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
8964a64f1ee5fd1843e4e669282b881b | engineering_key.p12
8964a64f1ee5fd1843e4e669282b881b | engineering_key_defy.p12

Yeah, I can confirm they are the same. Same MD5 hash. Does this mean this is all totally irrelevant and we're back to square one?
[Defy Android Development] anon768:
Well, did someone actually try it with "password" as password?
[Defy Android Development] blackwing182:
its obius that is the same key and it will have same matching MD5 so if some one try it with password, then we will see the diferences!
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
Err what? They're identical. The password on both is password. That's why the hashes are the same.
[Defy Android Development] XtremBongChilla:
