Hey! Sorry, wasn't aware of that. In my defense, I tried the stock ADW launcher and found it lacking. Now the ADW EX launcher is another matter, it performs much better, let alone the extra features. But it's a paid app. I'll keep the stock ADW out of the rom releases as a personal choice, but add a flashable zip to post #3 for people who want to install it.

Eheh... Thanks mate! I really appreciate your constant support!

Hey! As for the screen unlocking lag, I must say that I don't experience it. In fact, it's instantaneous for me. But I have heard some people experiencing weird effects when on interactive governor. Let me know how it goes on "ondemand". As for the other issue, I have no idea. I'm still an old fashioned CWM user, never upgraded it as I didn't see the point, so I have no idea of what that thing could or could not do. All I can say is that I rebooted the rom with no issues. If you manage to get me a logcat of the booting process maybe I can figure out what's happening.

For all other people asking features, bear with me:

Remember this is version 1.0. A lot is possible, nothing is for sure. Somethings I already plan to look into, such as more choice of governors on the kernel, some others I'll probably won't touch.

Please have in mind that this is not exactly easy work, it takes me literally hours to try some stuff, and lots of times it all goes to waste. These are hours of my free time, which is not that much. I maintain 3 roms now, and even if I say so myself, I give good support to all of them.

So I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all the people who support me back. It's nice to be appreciated.

Cheers

Youre the King lowveld! This is the first time i use non-sense Rom and i just love this! Superrrrr faaassssst and clean! No bugs found here, everything rollin smooth. One thing got into my eye, i cant restore sms messages that has been backed up in sense 3.5 Rom. I still keep my Endymion v3.3 nandroid backup in my sd, so i backed up my sms with sms backup&restore and flashed Reaper back and restored again :) Everythings fine! :D

Hi, the Bluetooth handfree not working. The phone shows Bluetooth device paired but upon receiving and making call cannot hear any sound in Bluetooth ear piece as it its not connected.

Otherwise its a fast and good rom.
[HTC Desire S] apk24:
I just wanted to thank all of you here, especially lowveld, tectas, and enigmaamit for some of the best support i have seen on any ROMs so far... It is a pleaseure to be using Endymion so far (been a lurker, not mush of a poster) - and i'm a new member, so i refrain from speaking until i have something sensible to say...

Migrated to Reaper today, and i must say, it is epic... blows everything out of the water when it comes to speed, and stability. Havent been able to test battery yet, but i'm sure it will be very good.

Thank you all once again, everyone in this thread, and particularly lowveld, for his fantastic work.

P.S. : @lowveld - ever considered applying for work at Google? They'd be honored to have you...
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Thank you for your help. I was blind, there are 4 quicklaunechers, but I didn't noticed, it looked like only one.

I knew about toggles, but I'm missing e.g. wifi settings I thought there is a chance to have better one. :)

Unfortunately I can use only one rom at time, so sometimes it's hard to describe problem, sorry. But I think it's time to use Reaper, there is only few things I'm going to miss from Sense 3.5.

Once more thank you for your help and time and also thank lowveld for such great CM rom! :)
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
Hello @lowveld, I attached archive with 2 logs. One for sending mms, and one when downloading mms. In both situations messaging are stop working:(
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Weird

Edit: please ignore post, unable to add screenshot.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Can you maybe explain it instead?

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Ss attached, has posted the same few days back, since then re-calibrated again but still android system is on top and battery backup is poor.:(:mad:
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Is it at a clean instal the same?

Maybe check with wheres my Android power or/and battery monitor widget (both free at market) what consumes the battery, could be an app.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
I am on a clean install of 1.3, here are some more shots of the usage stats, partial wake usage also show android system as the main culprit.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok, partial wake is normal as much as I know, if you choose it should just a few minutes show up.

The only thing I see so far is about wifi, but this should also not consume as much battery, have you ever tried something like juice defender?

Was it the same at 1.2 or an cyanogen nightly with reaper kernel?

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

First, let me start by saying I think something.is wrong with the way either cm7 or GB2.3.7 is reporting battery usage. I believe screen usage is wrongly being blamed to Android sub-system. Looking at your screenshots appears to confirm this, as its showing the screen on for a great deal of time, and with that usage, it should be right at the top.

The rest seems ok. Partial wake and network consumption are due to background syncing, that also gets blamed to Android subsystem. Apart from the stats, what's your battery life like?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
I am getting about 18 hours on moderate usage. Wake settings - 245-998 - reaper, sleep settings - 245-384-reaper, I/O - deadline, no UV.

Did not use V 1.2, came straight to v 1.3 from Endy.

Remember using CM7 stable and few nightlies earlier but never used them long enough to notice.

Have stuck to CM7 for the longest till date as it's Reaper, super ROM from our favorite developer. ;)

The anomalies that I notice is that one, my battery goes up to 4200mV while charging but when fully charged as per the indicator it's no more at 4200mV, two - charging for the last 20-30% takes significantly longer and if I reboot in between, the charge percentage goes up or shows fully charged after reboot. :confused::(
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Strange thing, just to show you mine as comparison, but I'm more a poweruser.

And yes display is wrong assigned, but as long as I'm using cyanogen it were at data like shown at my stats, not at Android why I don't know.

When I look at my stats, only the drop after the first charging is a bit strange the rest is understandable for me.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Here are my settings:

Just as a side node, at sleep is just min frequency used cause I use powersave governor.

[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Hmm I have normal battery life I'm ov to 1.2 and I haven't change nothing in reaper settings, but battery life is ok.
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thank you for the inputs, I hope this can be sorted out, not saying there is anything wrong with the ROM, I just hope I can figure out what causing issues for me.

Does no one else have issues with charging and the percentage changing on reboot while charging? There is a thread in the general section also with a similar problem.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey mate,

No worries! Also, the charging indicator going awry if you reboot when it's above about 90% it's a more or less known issue. That's android trying to adapt the battery display to actual battery capacity in case the battery is getting old.

This happens in Endy too, and to me it happens a lot during debugging, as I usually have it connected through usb to my computer. It starts charging, and when it gets above 90, if I do "adb reboot", when it comes up it shows 100%.

This is just the display, the battery actually continues charging. If you monitor the current going into the battery in the sysfs interface, you can check this. That's why it's important to re-calibrate the battery once in a while.

Bottom line, you should fully charge your battery, either by monitoring the current or by the easy way: leave it on charger for one more hour or two after it shows green. Then disconnect eh charger, manually remove /data/system/batterystats.bin, and reboot (there's an app for this, I think).

Then avoid rebooting while on charger, as this messes the internal calibration, and you're done.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thank you for the confirmation, for quite some time I thought that the battery charging issue was not widespread but your post and shrome99's post confirms that it is - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21726537&postcount=4

I guess the way out as suggested is to recalibrate properly and not reboot while charging.

Also is it better to calibrate using the app or is it better to reboot into recovery and clear stats + reboot?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Both does the same internally.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What the F*** is up with all this battery calibration mumbo-jumbo?

I don't know who started this, but this calibration, battery stats wipe thing is just plain annoying now. It is a useless, superstitious, ritualistic and nonsensical practice... just as useless as the Task Killer apps and scripts floating around.

I know y'all will boo me for flipping a finger at this sacred ritual that everyone on android seems to be following, so allow me to let Google Engineer Diane Hackborn convince you... (unless of course you believe that you understand how Android works even better than the guys that designed it...:rolleyes:)

OPEN YOUR EYES (and mind) and READ THIS

Please understand that i am only posting this because all this battery stats wiping and calibration etc is just a pagan ritual and doesn't really help. We're just being herded along like sheep, just as was the case with task managers (still is) aome time ago. Break this vicious cycle... :cool:

Enough ranting. :mad: It's your phone, do what you want with it. It's not like I'm Steve Jobs (may God have mercy on his soul) or Bill Gates to dictate how you use your phone...;):D:D
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Thankyou. :o

Thanks meter is depleted for the day.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Did you also read this comment?

It's not really about the battery wiping, but it explains why cyanogen shows the green indicator at 90% everyone is moaning about ;)

Very interesting post :)

Maybe add a thread referring to it at the general section.

Looking forward to what's in store!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The nightly code changelog itself seems quite nice, even if I don't add anything... But I'm trying to add at least a minor token. I'll keep you guys posted.

Oh, and for those wanting the pdroid patch, no problem. I'll post it as addon from now on (starting next version).

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Hi, is there any chance to get date and time settings like in Sense (e.g. in alarm or calendar settings)? Maybe it could be in some themes? Unfortunately I'm not able to find something relevant, it offers stuff like widget replacement. :(

Very nice, looks awesome, a donation is on the way, payday tomorrow!

But where and how are the ICS transitions applied?

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi pal. There are two main type of new animations... ported over from stock ICS

1. The rotate animation is the animation that you can see when turning your phone from portrait to landscape and viceversa. Easiest seen in gallery. Go ahead, check it out...you'll realize this was stock on Sense 3.5 but not on CM. (You'll need to have auto-rotate enabled for this to happen)

2. The transition animations : these are seen when you enter and exit menus and submenus, more subtle, but you'll see them eventually...it's kind of like a fast fade&reveal effect.

Go ahead, check them out...

Help me guys. I forced reboot which somehow killed my WiFi. After switching it on it keeps tellimg me hat it is consulting. However it doesn t scann the networks anymore the result being that I am without internet on my desire
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey, can you explain what you mean with forced reboot? If something got stuck, turn off the phone, then remove battery, then turn it on.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
I was looking at some pictures until the screen was frozen. Had to reboot pressing power button and volume up and volume down together

Edit: Turned off the phone, removed the battery and reboot. No change. It is still trying to connect but in fact it even doesn't scan the available wifi networks.

[HTC Desire S] troxter:
No worries mate! I am patient:)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Troxter,

I caught the exception on the log you sent me, it's a null pointer exception, but I can't tell the reason. Can you do the following:

- Go to "Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names"

- Tell me what's showing (should be at least one entry)

- If more than one entry is shown, one must be selected, with a green dot. Press it, and it will show the complete configuration. Write down every name/value pair that is shown, and PM it to me.

I'm betting either MMSC or MMS port are <not set>.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
@lowveld

Can it be related to http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3241 ? In short, with mobile data off, you can't receive MMS, you have to turn them on. Or when on wifi, you have to switch wifi off, then turn mobile data on, and then back...
[HTC Desire S] ck2009:
Can anyone confirm if Facebook sync is not syncing photos?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No, not the issue. His mobile data gets turned on alright... But I was just looking around similar stuff:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3750

In short:

Troxter: Go to the apn menu I told you before, and for each APN showing, change "authentication type" to "PAP".

Let me know how it goes.

Reaper_stability_patch_b1.zip?

Will the Reaper_stability_patch_b1.zip from Reaper V1.3 work on V1.4 as well?

I had ramdom freezes (3 button reboot didn't work, I had to pull the battery) but after applying this patch, I had no problems anymore. Today I installed V1.4 and had a freeze again. Or can it be related to the GoLauncher I use? What is this Oxygen ROM Launcher mentioned a few post above?

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes, it will work!
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Got it, thanks dude!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Use the animation speed slider in reaper control to slow down the animations, then you'll probably see the difference to non-ics animations. It's also funny, in a very drunken and juvenile way. :)
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
will do ;)

Here it is Oxygen ROMs Launcher thanks to bioan...just either pop it in /system/app with root explorer/es file explorer or adb push to /system/app
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
simply put the Oxygen ROM Launcher is the Launcher from Oxygen ROM... i just think it looks awesome and its very smooth... its sort of like the stock nexus s launcher

Finally my MMS working!!!

I have few apn's in settings but i did like here:

http://mobileguide.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=651&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3201

You right lovweld it was problem with MMS port. But on others roms it setup automatically, that's way I was confused. NOW I am fully happy!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Good for you man! Just out of curiosity, was I right some posts back? Undefined mms center or port, causing the null exception?

- EDIT-

Nevermind, just read the "port." part of your post.:)
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
hey lowveld what is exactly an IO scheduler (i believe it has something to do with storage drives) and which scheduler would you recommend from reaper control
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
There is deadline which gives best performance...

Generally VR some revised version gives the best...closely follwed by deadline...

But in included 4 io schedulers...deadline is the best in terms of normal usage :)

CFS is ok for more batch processing while BFS more interactive tasks...:)
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
Cool sweet since I dont do a major amount of batch processing deadline it is....

What are the merits of Noop scheduler
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
NOOP is a simple I/O scheduler without overhead that tries to do each I/O transaction as it comes (FIFO). When a group of transactions is detected, it will try to merge it together to make batches of transactions (makes the whole transaction faster). NOOP doesn't have starvation detection, hence if an I/O transaction takes a painfully long amount of time, it will still continue to do it rather than switch the CPU into doing something else e.g. GUI interrupts (i.e. scrolling lists, flicking screens). All other schedulers also have the "merge" feature. NOOP is the only one that makes the "merge" feature its only feature.

SIO > Noop > Deadline > VR > BFQ > CFQ, given all schedulers are tweaked and the storage used is a flash device.

I tried to google it and search these forums about it, but Lowveld you know how to make the screenshot (power+home) work. So would it be possible to assign it to other key combo? Maybe you could give some pointers what xml etc. to edit? Im having a small "No PowerButton" project and only things im missing is how to take a screenshot without it, without using any market app, and how to open cm7 or sense boot menu :)

Peace
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Don't get me wrong, but it could have been solved some days ago, i pointed you to the same direction (not the port field itself, but the apn settings and i've even told you that the default settings can be wrong in some cases), but anyway, glad that it is working now :)

@lowveld unfortunatly encountered an issue, but have to take a deeper look at it myself and it's sure a cyanogen issue, but maybe you even can solve it^^

Today morning when my alarm clock rang i could dissmiss it like ever, but unfortunately at the same time i dissmissed it the screen rotated, afterwards the lookscreen sliders disappeared and i only got it back with a reboot.

Haven't tried to reproduce it atm and i'm not sure if the timing i discribe is really correct (i takes some time till i'm really awake at the morning^^), but will do it after work.

Anyway, here are some screenshots, everything else is working perfect like ever :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

Unfortunately it's not a xml edit or something like it. I had to code the thing directly on the source, and it was a ***** to find the correct place. But now that I know where...

I don't have the code here, but I think I could highjack the search button long press to replace the power button long press. But this for Reaper only, there's no way I could that in Sense directly in the smali (well, of course there should be a way, but it could take me way too much time).

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey!

Well, first, congratulations on your daughter. Enjoy these first times with her. I don't know if it's your first, but if it is, I can tell you now that they change way too fast. :) My son is now 15 months old, and looking at last year pictures, he's almost unrecognizable. Don't take this the wrong way, they always change for the better (at least to a father's eyes), but you won't be able to avoid being nostalgic about these first times. :)

As for your issue, funny you mentioned it, because something strange also happened to me today in pretty much the same situation. After snoozing the thing for the 3rd time (yeah yeah, I know...), when I unlocked it it showed only the wallpaper. No lockscreen, no icons, no nothing. Buttons didn't work, sliding the screen did nothing, I thought I would have to reboot it. I went to brush my teeth, and then was about to do the 3 finger salute, and it was working. Maybe it was the same issue you had, I have no idea if I rotated it while snoozing.

I'll try to reproduce the thing, but this is surely something on the CM7 base...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
lowveld i'm just curious, is it possible to map the search button to the "recent apps" dialogue? i know i can get that by long pressing the home button, but it's just more convenient to press once rather than long press :D
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, it should be, but I can't tell you for sure right now. But those kind of changes are very "personal", and currently not changeable on the fly, so I will not hardcode them.

But these kind of questions gave me an idea... Would you guys like some sort of tweak menu to reassign default button press actions? I'm not promising, but I think I can do it...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
That would be sweeeeeeet! :D My own suggestions would be; screenshot to "long press search + home" and cm7 power menu to long press back, home or menu...

actually there are some options in cm tweaks -> input setting. but i can't find the recent apps dialogue there.
