eheh... Thanks, didn't know that menu, remember, I'm kind of new to CM7. :D

So most of the stuff I thought about is already available (go figure...). I'll see what I can add.

Cheers

--- edit ---

At least the screenshot reassignments should be straightforward.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thanks, i will for sure^^

Congratulations also, even if it's a little late^^

It's my second girly (the first is 5 years old), so i know a little about it myself and it's going much to fast, but it's good like it is, because as big they are as much can be shown to them and it's great to introduce them the world, even if it's hard sometimes :)

Yes was the same situation except that the powerbutton was working for me, but did restart it instantly after i recognized it and didn't play much around (i'm not up to such things in the morning^^).

I related it to the rotation, because at my first alarms (yes at me it's as worse^^) this issue didn't come up. Maybe they (the cm devs) forgot to disable screen rotation while alarm is shown or something like that and this produces the issue, because the system isn't prepared for rotation, but just a suggestion.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Just confirmed the issue, and it's due to rotation. If you snooze the alarm with the phone rotated (e.g in landscape mode), it rotates back and goes to lockscreen, but doesn't show the lockscreen controls.

Good news is that the lockscreen is actually there, just invisible. I use ring slider, and if I press where the ring should be (you get haptic feedback), and drag it down, it unlocks. No need to reboot.

I'll try to see where this happens and fix it.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
guys

is this part of the default settings or just me? :

i cant really multitask again.... when i open an application and maybe a notification comes in; on answering it or checking anoda app, the app in the background restarts or refreshes

Dont know if abyone has experienced d same tin....started after i updated to ver. 1.3
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Also noticed it, but it does take same time till the background app is killed and I "blamed" it on the supercharger. It has, as much as I know, memory tweaks included and I thought, because of this the app gets sooner killed by the system, but could be wrong and related to some changes in the nightly, reaper is based on or something else^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I also had been thinking about this yesterday, when I had my first launcher redraw in months. Well, some tweaks that worked ok in Sense roms could do not so well here. So...

View attachment Reaper_disable_mtweaks.zip

If someone wants to try this, flash in recovery. It will disable a couple of boot scripts that do the memory management and also some kernel tweaks. I'm testing it right now, but it's hard to be objective. For now it seems that my mail app stays alive on background (it would end up dying on me).

Also this mail app thing has been here from version 1.0, I doubt that anything new regarding this came up only in V1.3.

Anyway, one more thing to V1.5 checklist: tweak to enable/disable supercharger and other stuff.

Cheers, and thanks to all for your support!
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Question 1 : Cm7 has a setting somewhere kinda like "sleep mode" between certail hours? when it turns of wi-fi and data?

I really liked that feature in Sense, now i have do do it manually every night, or set a tasker profile.

Question 2 : Has anyone experienced wi-fi search problems...being on v1.3 from it's launch, since last week i have noticed that it doesn't see my wi-fi networks. But the problem is random, sometimes it sees them and automatically connect, sometimes i have to add them manually whit ssid, and many times it doesn't see them at all.

I have just installed v1.4, i'll check later when i get home if this issue happens again.

Thank you
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
1. Go to Settings -> wireless & network -> wlan-settings -> push the menu button -> advanced -> wlan sleep policy

2. Me not, my network always connects automaticaly when i'm in range and havn't noticed that any network wasn't found
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Thanks for the quick answer...the thing is: i know those settings, unfortunately there is no schedule for hours you only have: wi-fi when screen is off, never when plugged in, never.

It would have been nice in my opinion if we could have a simple scheduler with start hour and stop hour and the following actions : wi-fi off/on, data off/on, silent off/on.

I know we can set these up woth third party apps but IMHO it would be great an integrated feature like the Sense one.

PS: Seems like after upgrading to v1.4 i can see wi-fi network now, il do the final test at home.

Thanks everyone.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I've encountered worse wifi signal. Or maybe it's just more precise? Anyway same place, same conditions one to three bars worse signal.

In the other hand I think GSM signal is better.

Maybe could be caused by radio? I'm using the previous to last (ending with 20).
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I'd love to be able to map the search button to the "apps list". You can map to pretty much anything except that right now :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok, sry misunderstood you^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Do you mean the thing you get when you long press Home?
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I was thinking of the search button, but I've assigned the menu long press as well, direct call to my GF ;)

Btw, when I use that and I'm standing in the dialer, it FC's on me.

Sorry if I'm rambling :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Is this rom only unstable for me? I love it so much but its going terrible for me. Apps only open sometimes, YouTube and Facebook constantly restarting. Just me?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
For me it's stable, I only faced the "2" known bugs of the last build.

Edit: Did you try the undervolt patch? 2 had issue that their devices couldn't handle the default cpu voltage and became unstable (at their cases as unstable that it crashed at boot or close after it).

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Dan, give the patch I posted earlier a go. It disables some optimizations that I am now not entirely convinced that do more good than bad...

Cheers

- EDIT -

And what Tectas said too. :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Patch added to post #2: issue with invisible lockscreen

Ok guys,

As I don't want to keep releasing new versions just for the kicks, and I also want to add more "valuable" stuff other than bugfixes, I'm adding this as a patch.

The issue itself (read some pages back if you don't know what I'm talking about) is probably more deep than this patch, but as CM7 team will probably solve it in the future, I'll leave it alone.

The patch simply stops the alarms from switching to landscape mode, thus avoiding the invisible lockscreen after the snooze.

You can find the patch on post #2, just flash in recovery.

I also want to take the opportunity to thank the guys that sent donations. It's very very rewarding to be appreciated. You are too kind. And for the guy who donated twice (you know who you are), you really are too kind... :) Thanks mate.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Hi, people!... This ROM was highly recomended to me by 3-4 buddies here and in my real life.. It's a good sign for it to be real good, but.... damn, may be it sounds strange, but is it only me, who don't want to have REAPER so near by me???? Name decides everything.. it's a pity that I won't give a try to your ROM...
[HTC Desire S] det66:
At the end of the day that's your loss. If you chose Roms on their name's rather than what they do that's an exceptionally short sighted and frankly stupid outlook
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I have taken a little look at the 98Kickass and the 99Supercharger scripts.

At first i noticed that it tries to access the wrong filesystem, it executes and tries to mount the mtdblock filesystems as rw, but we only got mmcblk filesystems.

The second thing i've seen are the

busybox sysctl -e -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0;
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.overcommit_memory=1;

busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=60;

parameters.

Maybe there is something usefull in it, but could be that I'm at the wrong direction or understood something wrong^^

I also have seen that for most of the settings in those 2 scripts there is no need for an additional script, the values can be writen to /etc/sysctl.conf or directly at /proc/sys/vm/* (the star represents the needed filename [one file per parameter]), but if it's done this way it would be more effort to change the values back if there are problems, so i don't know if this should be done, just wanted to tell it^^

Here are some references i found:

The whole parameters at /proc/sys/vm and a short describtion for them

Linux memory

I hope this is usefull somehow :)

Will look further at the evening.
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
:) Yes, sure.. I said it's a pity that I won't give a try to a REAPER on my phone... Yes, I don't take the numbers like "666" or nicks like "Satan". Yes, I'm stupid. ... like the other 99% people in the world, actually. ;) Just IMHO, no holywars, please.

BTW, donations reason is strange as well - to donate for the next device means, that author will close the support of this ROM. It's normal, to want and to buy other, newer devices, but not necessary to say about it in donation reason - just marketing advice. Sorry for OFF.

Once again: I personally would like to try this ROM if it would have another name, but it doesn't mean, that everyone will agree with this, just imho.
[HTC Desire S] ck2009:
+1 This is a fantastic ROM, alot of hard work put in by the devs with amazing results, shame you will be missing out.
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Sorry, guys and the authors, and the moderators. You're absolutely right.

It was just my "cri de coeur" and unshamed off-topic. Let's close this. Sorry again.
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
@lowveld

I'm using your rom and enjoying it. Came from Zulugen and went then to MIUI, because i had market/camera related problems.

But i experienced the same market/camera problems with the reaper rom.

In short: When fresh installed the rom works good, except i dont get full markt access. Apps i allready used, are not compatible anymore with my device, so says Google market. In fact they just work fine.

When applying this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14931029&postcount=1 , i got full access again (i think), but the camera stops working.

In the end i combined some bits from the original sense installation in build.prop with this mod and all works now (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17057053&postcount=263)

When flashing often however, i constantly have to edit my build.prop en using the market app 2.6, which is a little pain in the lalala.

Is there another structural solution for this?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
How about this:

Build your own script and change those files with it:

/proc/version for the kernel version

(the script would look like echo "angeldust" > /proc/version or however you want to name it)

here is a reference to such a script and how it's build (there are many more variables considered).

About changing the mod version i can't tell atm, but anyway first get confirmation from lowveld that you are allowed to change those strings (even the one i describe above ;))
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
it seems there's only me who wants Pdroid patch. What is your progress in that case? Thx.
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
:) You won't believe, I thought about it. Thanks for the instructions. And - for the name idea - especially ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Hmm the changes at build.prop in your 2. link are understandable for me, but why is an android.hardware.camera.flash-autofocus.xml file inside a market fix zip (first link)?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I think it allows you to download and install apps from the market which only work on phones with an auto-focus or a built-in flash feature. These apps are labelled "incompatible" in the market, and installation is not allowed, unless the xml readout indicates that the phone actually has a flash, when in reality, it doesn't. This xml is probably a hack for phones without autofocus or flash, and not required on the DS.

That's the way i have it figured...although i could be wrong. :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Found unfortunately a little bug, it happens sometimes to me that screenshots are taken even i'm just using the homebutton, but it's somehow random and i couldn't reproduce it.

Someone else noticed something similar?
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I'm only one who Dont know how to switch flash on in browser? ? I tried many flash players non of them work. Some tip??
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, yes. :) At least on every reboot, the first time you press home I think it will take a screenshot. Just noticed it yesterday, I think the power button longpress state is not being correctly initialized on the framework...

I think I can make the thing more robust if I don't rely on the underlying state variables, and implement my own signaling. I'll try it out!

Cheers

P.S. Just got to my laptop, still digesting the last few posts...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Works for me (webkit [build in], dolphin hd & maxthon), you only have to push the download pic inside the flash frame before, because flash content isn't loaded by default to save traffic. Anywhere is a setting to make it load by default, but i don't know where atm, sry^^
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You have to go to browser settings under "add-ons" and set it to always on. If they're turned off, flash won't work...and if they're set to "on demand", then you have to click on the down arrow shaped icon overlayed on flash content to start using it.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Lol, and here i thought i was doing something wrong... I can confirm i have this automatic screenshot bug too...and it is not limited to the first time after reboot. It happens more frequently to me, and usually happens when i am at some home screen, and try to return back to the default home screen by pressing home button rapidly. I can't consistently reproduce this though...
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
I have no clue, but then again i have no programming skills whatsoever...
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

I appreciate an inquisitive mind! This script comes as a companion to the supercharger one, I usually start every rom with it inside, and them trim it down, or remove it altogether.

There are more things there that don't do anything (also no harm done), I just leave them in as a reference for what can be done. The noatime and nodirtime are examples of that, as I'm not sure I want to do that. Also the scheduler related settings do nothing, as I changed the kernel to BFS, and those keys only exist in CFS.

This is not the first time I have trouble with this scripts. In fact, it's the 3rd, one for each rom I built. Yes, this should tell me something... For reference, in both Endy and Hyperion, applying these tweaks makes the music player "jump" a bit when unlocking the phone, as writes were being blocked for some miliseconds (you wouldn't believe the time it took me to track it down).

So I'll take the safer approach and completely disable it the next version. If I have time I'll also investigate key by key what actually makes a difference (the network optimizations seem harmless enough).

By the way, I actually thing the scrolling is smoother with the script disabled. For the first time the 4D drawer on ADW EX seems fluid. But I may be imagining things.

Cheers

P.S. As for beinbg in a scripts instead of /etc/sysctl.conf, you are right, it's easier to tweak/disable it this way.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
I wasn't meaning to be nasty just that you are missing a terrific rom here over a 'silly' name.No one really sees the rom name
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
i have been using this ROM for few days now. i tried MIUI 1.12.30 but decided to switch to Reaper ROM anyway.

im missing few features tho. not sure if its possible to implement them all.

1,long press home button in MIUI ROM did show last started apps, it also highlighted those which are actually running at the moment

2,long press back in MIUI did force close 99% of apps. this was perfect feature, because id rather close apps my selves than rely on android.

3, MIUI default battery app had usage and wake locks split by applications.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32630082/20120116_231413.jpg

is there any alternative or possibility to implement this?

(as you can see on the screenshot i had major problem with one process. i also read that this MIUI battery application was not working properly. dunno)

4, in sliding tab lock screen style, i would like to swap positions of dialer and unlock slider

5, i haven't seen this feature anywhere yet, but would it be possible to change some app category from EMPTY_APP to HIDDEN_APP? i wrote more in this topic,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433228

but never got any reply. i would love to set some apps which should be closed ONLY by me, or ONLY if RAM is really low(under 30 or so - as set for closing hidden apps). i find that android is closing empty apps(which is most) very randomly. its far better now, when i don't have sense and 100MB RAM free, but anyway.

btw battery usage wise, i see very little difference between MIUI and this ROM. that was the main reason why i tried MIUI first, but idle battery usage was 11-13mA, Reaper ROM has 12-14mA with same basic apps running. some people claimed here, that MIUI usage is 6-8mA. anyway, Reaper ROM is very impressive, most probably my next daily ROM. thanks.
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
I'm the "No one", 'cause I do... ;) Forget it. It's my point - not to deal with hell-like stuff, names, images and so on. And - it doesn't affect the functionality of the mentioned ROM and authors' efforts taken to bring it to this state... ;)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi. My name is "some people"

Here, have a look. This is with mobile data on...

REAPER :

MIUI had similar battery drain. Do a forum search...i've posted screenshots a while ago on one of the threads...dunno which one, it was a Loooooong time ago.

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
hi some people :)

i tried MIUI 1.12.30 - clean install, with no apps installed, mobile data/wifi/BT/GPS off and i could not get under 10mA. i was using battery monitor widget pro. same with Reaper ROM.

are you using daemon with reaper? im using the lowest asleep clock speed, with 25 UV and powersave governor.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Damn you enigmaamit, you have a super phone!

I can't get below 9-10mhA either, and that is with data/wifi/gps/sync off!
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I dont know battery for me I think is ok. I use it a lot
[HTC Desire S] ck2009:
What app is that you are using to get the Battery History (2nd screenshot)?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sry, don't wanted to push anything and i were already aware that you know about most of the things inside it, just wanted to look into it and give a report about my conclusion, if it can help it's good, if not it doesn't harm, was my thought, sry that i messed your time :)

1. don't know, if you use go launcher ex, there are 3 tabs at the appdrawer and the last one shows the current running applications, but default setting of long-press home IS already show recently used apps, just the highlightning doesn't work (did work, but didn't notice it in near past)

2. already there at settings -> Apps -> Development -> Close App

3. try battery monitor widget or wheres my droid power, spareparts and the build in(settings -> about phone -> battery usage) can also provide some information, but none of them are as detailed as your pic as much as i know

4. puh not possible as much as i know, only at ringstyle it's possible to switch positions of appstarter and unlock ring

5. don't know
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
im pretty sure that its Battery Monitor Widget

https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en

there is also pro -paid version

very good app for battery stats is also BetterBatteryStats

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

there is full version apk available for xda members. only problem with this app is that awake/screen on ratio seems to be different to what i see in android battery app.
[HTC Desire S] malachay:
Closing all apps is senseless and consumes more battery, because this apps must be started from scratch if they are needed again.

So the android way is to freeze the apps, let them remain in the memory (unless an other app which is active needs the memory) and resume the app if needed.

That is implemented by design, all task manager and force close are not needed, they are working against the android philosphy.

Just my 2 cents
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No mate, you misunderstood me. :) I really like an inquisitive mind. I like explaining and discussing things, I like to learn new stuff and share, and it gives me genuine joy when I see other people act the same way. You did not in any way mess up my time. :)

Cheers

But seriously I respect you.

One Quick Question: Are you working on ICS too ?

You are the one who solved the problem with front facing camera ;) , so I wonder someday I will see a post regarding working camera , face unlock on ICS :eek::eek: ;);)

How do you get 8ma on sleep? I always get around 11ma. What sleep gov and min/max cpu speeds you using?
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Here ya go mate .Normally at night it's on the charging profile
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Lol! :D:D

I get 6-7 mA. Attached below is a screenshot of sleep state for around 2 hrs...

CPU 245-1075 Wake, with Reaper Governor

CPU 245-1075 Sleep, with Reaper Governor (yes, it's the same...helps your device to wake up more smoothly, and eats up just as much battery as, say 245-384 setting - personal experience)

Undervolted by -50 mV across the board

One of these days I'll stop plugging in my phone to the PC every which hour to try some stuff out, so I can brag about battery life also. :P

Hi buddy, nice to have you back!

Couldn't help but notice, you have your wake max CPU while charging set to LOWER than when it's not charging... any particular reason for that paradox?

[HTC Desire S] det66:
You said it brother

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Well my logic behind it (whether correct or not is another matter) is that I only charge at night when I don't use the phone ,so really don't need wake set as high.

No idea if it makes a damned bit of difference or not
