Lowveld, while showing the FTL app drawer (waterfall) if I press on the menu button and then on Applications it just takes me back to the app drawer. Is this by design? Isn't it a bit redundant? I would think (or suggest) it should take you to the Manage Applications settings menu.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
and the next one...

LOWVELD :D

ive done a fresh clean install of reaper (formatted and wiped everything)

i flashed 2.2 and 2.2.2 afterwards and then rebooted. and my phone got stuck :eek:

i tryed flashing 2.2, reboot and flash 2.2.2 afterwards, but i got stuck too :eek:

(when im saying stuck, im talking about stuck at white htc screen, multiple reboots, freeze and a few mins of running rom, all together)

now im gonna try to download the files again to see if there was something wrong with my files.

NOW MY QUESTION: is it important to reboot between flashing 2.2 and 2.2.2 if doing a clean install?? which order do you suggest? wipe cache between? thanks in advance :p
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
I don't think that it is important. I did install the rom and the update without any reboot. Works perfectly.

send from outta space
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
no its not imo. i used rom manager premium and scheduled the zips to flash 1 after the other, i wiped data/cache/dalvik then it flashed 2.2 followed by 2.2.2 without a reboot in between and worked perfectly
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could be, your device can't handle the default undervolt settings, there was a flashable patch to set it a bit higher a while ago. Will search for it, otherwise will try it to make it myself (was a single file which changed one value, but can't remember the path right now).

For everyone else, pls be patient, lowveld won't be here for some time, the bad feedback from idiots at the market and nights without much sleep, while working on ucs have been a bit much, he takes a deserved break.

So pls no more questions about updates and no feature requests atm, let him enjoy his break.

Been using this mod for a while and just updated to 2.2.2 from 2.2.1 and thought id say, GREAT JOB!

Just 1 thing i would like is up and down in the last rom i had while typing moved the cursor forwards and backwards. It doesnt do it in this and selecting where you want on a 'block' of text sometimes just isnt possible with touchscreen, as many things are not. It helped eliviate some of these touch screen issues. It would be nice to have again :)

hi, I've bought FTL Launcher. Where to find the best themes to use on FTL Launcher?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Matter of taste^^

Ftl has no dedicated themes, but you can use every adw, go launcher or launcherpro theme on the market, just download and install it, afterwards it will be selectable at ftl.

new here

Hello,

Firstly a big thank you to the devs for this ROM, there is alot of great stuff in here !

I just upgraded today from a Blade to a Desire S, rooted and installed Reaper this morning. Liking the phone and ROM.

Couple of simple questions if someone in the community could help me out:

1.I can't find the option (does it exist in this rom?) to end phone call by pressing the on/off button. I find this so useful.

2. FTL launcher. I'm coming from Zeam which i scroll list of apps sideways page by page rather than vertically. Can this be done ?

3. My interest is in battery life rather than speed - I don't play games. Are the default settings in this rom suitable, or can you suggest tried changes to make ?

OK, plenty in here to keep me exploring

thanks
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
1. Not present afaik and must confess that there is no ROM that has it afaik

2. Vertical is the only option atm, but you can still use zeam instead, but try ftl before, I guess you get used to it :)

3. The settings should fit pretty well, the only things you could change are disabling autobrightness and the governor (reaper governor has also pretty well battery life, but it is more made for performance, you can try a bit) to i.e. zavagedzen or conservative

Oh and don't forget to disable wifi when it's not need and also switch to 2g while you don't need a fast connection

[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
Thanks for your quick reply and answers.

Several of the roms I used for the ZTE Blade had this option, the last of which was Swedish Spring. Its extremely useful, once used its hard to go back to having to look at the phone screen (especially outside) and tap the end call icon.
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
1. i've been through settings many times trying to save batt and never seen it, i dont know if its hidden in UCS though as i dont use that

2. not on the ftl built into the rom, try the newer version in the play store? or wait for someone here whos used the newer version to feed back, the newer version will be in the next update though

3. you can underclock the cpu in reaper control for small gains, some reccommend under volting, i havent tried it as the mixed reviews arent worth it to me
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I talked about desire s roms ^^

At our device I guess it won't be implemented, there are several handsets where the power button is really hard to push after some time of usage, because of this there are many remapping mods to use the volume or i.e. home button instead to wake the phone, maybe such a mod to end a call could come up sometime.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Actually it's a setting native to Android... and you should be able to use the power button to end calls. HTC have taken it out of their Sense ROMs, though vanilla android should still have it. But I'm not currently on Reaper, so i can't check if it works... have you given this a try?

Imho, it causes more trouble than it is worth...

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Couldn't agree more, that poor power button takes a bashing as it is! I wouldn't want to give it another function to perform.
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
Great ! You're quite right, its in there.

When selected a notification pops up to say there are "no settings available do you want to download screen reader" or something similar. When you click "no" the power button option is then displayed.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Great!

Glad you found it. Have fun with the feature, but remember...there is a reason HTC took it out from their ROMs. Your power button is going to take a severe beating with this (like ben and suku have pointed out), at least on this phone in particular... so be forewarned.

P.S. : @tectas - finally found something I know that you don't! Memorable day for me! :p:p:p Jus kidding. Appreciate the knowledge bank that you are, on these forums. Glad to have you around. :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Looking forward to the update. Want to move away from ICS until the kernel is sorted.

Always come back to this
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
Tested for a week or two and here's MY personal bug report just for anyone who wants to flash this, there is no guarantee you will see these same bugs its just what I've found so don't flame me lol

Switching from 2g to 3g kills the Internet connection sometimes airplane fixs it sometimes only a reboot fixes it

Gallery doesn't obey auto rotate settings, annoying if your laying in bed

Unusual and excessive battery drain all of a sudden with no real usage/app changes
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Personally i have had no issues with the gallery or unusual battery drain but I do lose the internet when switching from 3g to 2g.
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
Doesn't exist

Use QuickPic

Doesn't exist
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Can't say I've ever had an issue with Reaper or for that matter any of lowvelds roms. The only reason I'm not using it still is because I've changed phones. Hope eventually he can port/dev it for the One X
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Ah! So you've moved to the One X as well, eh?

God! That phone is stealing away EVERYBODY! :mad: Though it is an awesome piece of hardware!

Went snooping over to the One X forum yesterday... and by zeus! The who's who of the android world are there. Every big name in dev and modding is strutting his stuff!

To be honest, I felt kinda intimidated - didn't even dare ask a question, coming from the small town warm feeling i'm used to here. Big bad city out there...:eek:

Back to topic, GGLDN - I've never had those problems. I'm one of the first lot of users for Endymion, and have always had it on my phone thru all the versions and updates...to this day. Dunno what is causing you so much grief, but it ain't the ROM bro.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I didn't notice 2G\3G issues and was switching it each night through Tasker. no battery drain as well. Can't comment gallery. I guess rotating in gallery is more feature then bug ;) quickpic is nice alternative
[HTC Desire S] det66:
I know the feeling mate miss this forum and thread. Lot of seriously big ego's over there and no prisoners are taken.Though I've seen helpful people too.

The phones a beast and with the latest OTA its miles better
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
yes it does.. gsm vs wcdma/gsm :s.. anyway

dont want too..

and how exactly can you tell me unusual battery drain doesnt exist :S i'm merely reporting that for the majority of my time i had great battery life but in the last few days i've noted quite a reduction with no real differences in the set up..

_________________________

anyway testing out endy while i wait for a stable ics now :)

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

neither did i until yesterday and then today couldn't get it to come on and didnt want to reboot at the time so had no internet just basic calls and texts, so i got home and recovered my endy back up ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I'm pretty sure it's app related, would recommend you battery monitor widget and/or better battery stats to track the app down.

In common cm7 and reaper especially has pretty good battery life (if you're no power user) at my experience.

I'm with you, no probs anytime with the ROM's of low :-) sorry to say but i'll leave too. I've got a ONE S now... I hope he continue anytime his work for one s or x. ;)

[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
oh no i had thoses issues with reaper but endy kept disconnecting wifi so i went back to reaper

ive actually got battery monitor widget, i hate the new update tho, i had to reinstall spare parts because they took out the stats from battery monitor widget

*Edit* actually swapped back to reaper and the statistics are back so I guess maybe sense doesn't support battery statistics

GPS

I can't get a GPS lock since installing this ROM. Trying with OSMAND maps.

I've been through the Reaper Controls and tried all the GPS patches (although I don't know what they are for).

Does anyone have any suggestions I could try to get it working ?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
just tried it without any patches and it finds my location accurate to 20 metres very quickly if thats the type of thing your referring to. did you try it without the patches first? wipe and reflash probably your next option, i'm using google maps, in fact before you reflash, clear app data uninstall then reinstall google maps then try
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Personally, i grew tired of the AGPS patch unreliability, especially when you make and restore nandroid backups everyday, the patch seems non-functional. What gives me consistent results is an app called GPS Fix. It's free and extremely effective. But the major gripe with it was that it started putting out AirPush Ads on my notification bar. However, AirPush (the company behind the ads) have launched an app of their own that disables these airpush ads permanently and can be then uninstalled. I think its called Air Push Opt Out or something. After using that, i haven't got any more airpush ads.

The other option for the more cautious users is a new app with the same functionality as GPS Fix, but without the airpush hassle. Its called GPS Timer. It's completely free, and available on the Market (Damn!, still can't get myself to say Google Play - sounds so retarded!)

Try one of these and see if it fixes your problems.

Cheers. :)
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately neither of these could get a fix either. I also tried GPS Status & Toolbox (which is a nice app) to no avail.

Since I brought my phone second hand and immediately flashed Reaper onto it without even using the bog standard HTC Sense rom it came with, I suppose I don't actually know if its a hardware or software problem. So time to reflash back to stock and see if it works there or not !

UPDATE: Installed Endymion rom and GPS works.
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
Flashed back to Reaper and again its not working.

Does the radio control the GPS ? I am using 38.03.02.11_M which I suspect is quite an old one.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hmmm... GPS works fine on me on BOTH ROMs.

I'm currently using Reaper, and I just got a GPS lock. I use GPS Status & toolbox to view the status.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hey, tiktok1...why don't you try this...? Seems to have worked for another user. Seems there might be an issue with the GPS antenna connector. Give us your feedback after you've tried it. Best of luck!!!!

Read the last two posts by the OP :)
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
hmm.. that looks like pixie dust to me !
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Dunno man... I just stumbled upon it and thought i'd point it out to you. The guy said it worked for him, when nothing else did. He was stuck with poor GPS just like you... so i thought it might be worth a shot.

If you're skeptical, give it a miss. Hope you find a better solution. Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
2 questions:

Did you reboot between the patch changes? Otherwise they won't be applied.

And are you using a data connection while using the patch? It's needed.

Hi all, can someone please help I had not downloaded from the play store for ages but today I tried to download something but I got "error while purchasing" error.

Hello,

I had the same issues when I moved from Endymion to Reaper, and back again.

Didn't work for me either. I just waited till the next day, and it magically started working again :)

GPS Problems

Guys, exactly the same problem as I have. Either GPS works for me temporary or it doesn't work at all. Nothing I can control. Switching back to from beloved Reaper Endy, GPS works again. Lousy but it works.

I was reading this post this morning in the hotel and couldn't believe it works. The GPS antenna is where the camera is and not in the battery lid!!

Anyway, I tried it at it works on Endy like like mad! Totally confusing but taping this damn contact in the battery lid works. I have no explanation, neither I understand it.
[HTC Desire S] tiktok1:
I've reapplied the 2.2.2 patch.

I'm not clear what you mean on your 2nd question. After applying the patch I allow data connection, both wifi and 3g.

Still cannot get a lock... strange that I seem to be the only one who cannot get a lock at all. Even if I leave for 15mins - nothing

Regarding the taping up of the connector from the other posts - I just can't see how that makes any difference. First the gps module is in the top of the phone and second, that is noteven a connector ! its just a piece of plastic that presses down on a connector. SO I just don't see how it will make any difference.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I don't understand how taping up one connector can possibly work either, but are you sure about;-

It was always my understanding that was a wi-fi aerial in the base cover - hence the reason for the "grip of death" when you held the phone in portrait mode.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi guys :)

Yeah, next update please include the option to UV!! It would be great!

On ADWLauncher EX, I also configure mine like your; swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications :)

But ADWLauncher is a paid application, and the free version does not support these gestures .

Also to note, I didn't mean to do any Sense-bashing, I guess I got a little over excited about AOSP.

I agree, Sense is hands down far better than any UI in terms of functionality. But since I got my device, I have always used Sense, and never really got aa taste for pure android.

So I wanted to give it a go! ;)

However, like Geekynoob, I have been really considering returning to Sense lately! But seeing how most of you guys converted to AOSP too, I guess I'll stick around a little longer ;)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Endy V3.3 is safely backed up on the Sd as well as on box.net and I will return ,but I'm having fun playing with this.

btw lowveld my current theme/setup is on post #60
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Just to tell, new cyanogen nightly is up with some changes ;)

About launchers, i like go launcher most cause there are many possibilities to mod it, it's, for my taste, really eye-candy, it got up to 3 dockbars with the possibility to place folders on it and within the appdrawer you can also use folders to group apps. Things like swyping up and down (and set what should happen then) or changing homebutton action and stuff like this is also possible.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I've used almost every launcher and i always end up going back to GO Launcher because of this:

* Ability to hide apps from app drawer

* By far the smoothest scrolling in app drawer

* Gestures (Swipe up for phone, swipe down for app drawer)

Launcherpro was great on my hero, now it lacks in a lot of areas, and zeam is nowhere near as fast, at least not for me :)

Regarding the battery discussion, I have AMAZING battery life on this ROM compared to say, Endy 3.3.

I'm using reaper kernel.

When phone is sleeping its idling around 8-10mA, which i think is great, I've consumed 26% in 12,5 hours, and I've been using the phone quite extensively.

I'm more than pleased!

I wont be going back to sense anytime soon, I'm so happy!! :D:D

Looking forward to 1.2 lowveld, keep up the amazing work!

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
@Tectas

It would be easier to flash over cm7.2 nightly without rearranging all icons in case of going back. But after finally arranging them on zeam, i can use it on CM as well.

I don't know about the differences between the CM ADW and the one from market, but i've done backup of ADW settings in CM and it didn't restore correctly on Reaper, where i installed ADW from market...

I don't use zeam or adw, but thx for the hint ;)

really am liking this CM/AOSP on the DS, first time since the Hero trying it, as mentioned before thanks to dev.

New release V1.2 is out

Ok guys, here it goes!

Cheers

Download V1.2

http://www.multiupload.com/F2TZUIC5ZP

MD5SUM: 1c8c00e897af618cb71718980e69f09e

V1.2 Changelog

- Synced to latest CM7 source (@12 JAN 2012)

- Includes bluetooth fixes, and new "holo" Ring lockscreen type from ICS

- New kernel V1.2:

.....Changed frequency/voltage tables to match Tiamat V1.1.5, but limited max frequency to 1.5GHz (all thanks to Canyarb)

.....Exposed sysfs vdd interface: allows under/overvolt

.....Frequency limits: min=184MHz, max=1516MHz

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.

About overclocking and undervolting

If you are on these threads, a certain amount of knowledge is expected. Overclocking and undervolting can be dangerous, lead to battery pulling, and by now I hope you know that's the last thing you want to do to a Desire S. If you don't do anything, this rom comes configured with quite sensible options, that should be stable for everyone while providing very (extremely) good speed and decent battery life. If you go down the overclocking/undervolting way, you're on your own. I'm not responsible, nor will I guarantee any help with issues that you cannot confirm that also happens at stock frequencies/voltages.

This being said, it's up to you, your choice. Blue pill or red pill.
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
Thanks! Downloading :D

Btw any change in icons?
