Says it all perfectly
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Gotta agree with this. Lots of updates means it had issues in the first place. Well-made software needs few updates.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Wasn't away mate ,just no updates and the rom is running sweet so haven't had anything to say really lol
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
my keyboard became laggy. both android and smart keyboard is so.

any idea? cpu freq:921000
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Known problem in reaper
[HTC Desire S] :
That bug is related with GPU accelerated UI rendering.

It happened also when I tried to enable it on older CM7.1 builds. But not only with keyboard typing, it happens too when trying to start an app from launcher. Sometimes I have to touch couple of times until it registers it properly (both in Reaper and before in CM).
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
So, are you trying to say that turning off the GPU rendering would fix this?
[HTC Desire S] :
In CM7.1 it was simple build.prop editing... Turning it off here resulted in terrible slowness so I guess changes are much deeper.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hey lowveld, download link is dead, could you please reupload? :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
If you want to try it on icecoldsandwich, it won't work, it's a gb kernel, tiamat is the only ics aosp alternative ;)

Edit: but otherwise, here is the valid link out of the kernel thread, tried it and it works.

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd notify you all for those who might not have seen it yet - the first RC of CyanogenMod 7.2.0 is out. :)

[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Wow, didn't even noticed that, the changelog looks awesome, I would love to see a update for reaper here!

Written in bad english on my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Thanks mate! Unfortunately I decided to treturn back to CM7 before I got a chance to flash IceCold sandwich.

For me, ICS want so stable (it may just be CM9) I got 5 rebooted in one day, and it wasn't as smooth as GB (laggy browser etc)

I'll try Ice Cold sandwich another time I guess... thanks for the link! ! ;)
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
Really! Isn't it the reason for updating great Reaper rom!? :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Could be. :)

But bare in mind that the changelog for RC7.2 contains all the accumulated changes over the months, and Reaper V2.1 already contains most of it.

But I do plan to update Reaper in the near future, I was just trying to find time to finish a parallel project I wanted to include here also. But as it is getting held up time and again, I may update Reaper anyway. There's also been a truckload of improvements to FTL over the last month...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
I think you may get more people taking up Reaper ROM (And FTL with it) if you can say it's based on the Release Candidate CM7 rather than an experimental version. I really want to go to 7.2 RC1, but want the extra features/tweaks that I get with Reaper along with the peace of mind that it's been tested more!
[HTC Desire S] kozopulo:
Than't right. And I think thant it's not difficult for lovweld to simply build 2.1 on the new base
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Even if reaper is based on nightlies yet, it has been (maybe even more then the stable cm7 release) tested very much by the community itself, look at the release date of the last build and afterwards check how many bug reports (and which) have been writen here since ;)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Doesn't work that way. I check out the entire code, check for compatibility issues with the tweaks I introduced before, and the result is a complete new rom. No such thing as "V2.1 on the new base". It's V2.2, period.

Exactly. And with the process I just described up, there's always the chance that the new release could be actually worst than the previous one. That's why I'm reluctant to update unless there is significant advantage to be earned.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Lol. I'm pretty sure that's NOT the case! :eek:

EDIT: Lovweld's post above (where he agrees with this!) wasn't showing when I wrote this message so this is pretty much obsolete now! :D
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Nice to know that something is cooking in your ROM kitchen :)

Lowveld :)
[HTC Desire S] molchmolch:
The last weeks I was testing smooth PrimoS and now I am back on Reaper. This ROM gives me all I need. Reliability, fast response and best battery life.

Just one more time : Respect ...
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Lol. I just copied from the one above. I thought it seemed strange but couldn't be bothered to scan up for your name on the left!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hmmmmm.... I'm wondering what it is ;)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
So.. This new project...

... COME ON MAN DON'T JUST TEASE US LIKE THAT.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
It's not a tease... It's also not a big deal, and definitely not groundbreaking stuff. It's a app I've been working on, which involved skills I didn't have, and I'm, taking the opportunity to learn. Unfortunately I haven't had time to properly invest on it, due to having a life.

Bottom line, I shouldn't have mentioned it, and as always, I'll release it when I deem it's ready to proper use. :) It's rom-independent, so it's not a blocking point for reaper.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Fair enough - cheers for answering. Have you decided whether you'll update Reaper now that the first RC's out or wait for a later one/the final version? I know there aren't too many differences - although I'd love to see those FTL changes.

To DJ, owner of a LG Optimus One

Just had a stupid f*** leave a one star review on market, claiming:

"This crashes my void forever ROM and I have to do a system restore to get my device working again. WTF???"

This is a guy named "dj", owning a LG Optimus One and running "void forever rom". A simple search here on xda on that rom thread led me to a potential hasshole. So I'll explain:

- There's no way installing FTL Lite or Pro from market can crash any rom to that state. But there's a way your "symptoms" could happen, and this is what you did to achieve it:

- You heard that I give a full version of FTL to my Reaper Rom users

- You used your tiny brain, limited as it is, to think you could copy FTLLauncher.apk from Reaper /system/app to your rom

- You set FTL as default launcher

And here's what happened:

- That version of FTL is intended to crash any other rom than Reaper, and I warn that you cannot use it on other roms on Reaper thread

- This is intended to stop hassholes like you

- Not only did you try to pirate it, when it didn't work, you downloaded FTL Lite from market, just so you could leave a one star review

This pisses me off. Really. I cannot answer to reviews on market, so I'm left with a severely bad review, scaring other (honest) users into not even trying it. This all because a guy which is dumb enough to try this stunt, incompetent enough to not even use adb to remove the apk, thus ending up doing the factory reset, and dishonest enough to go out of his way to harm me further.

Guys like you cripple free development.

To all other guys, sorry for the rant.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could it be that the comment is already deleted?

I wanted to post your answer for you at the comments, but I haven't seen the one your taking about?!

[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Tectas we are German so we can only read German comments on the market. If you want to do this you need a app that changes your location to USA for the market (I forgot the name). Just Google it.

Did you never wondered why we only can read German comments? Some are English because the Germans wrote english so the developer can read it ;-)

[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
You can put an edited version of this in the app comments though, which will explain the bad review to other potential users.
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Not if you change the system language to English dude!
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Yes I know, but if you want to keep you system language in your motherlanguage you easily can use this app, which I was talking about!

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Guys, thanks for the support. I may have overreacted, it was 3am here, I was working on FTL and that guy pushed me over the edge.

By the way, you can easily see (and post, I think) comments in other languages, if you open the app page on a browser, and right at the bottom you change the page language to that language.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The app you are talking about is market enabler, already used it sometimes, but never thought about to use it this way (or even that it can be used for such).

And no not about that, because there even have been english (and somtimes also in other languages, what i wonder about yet^^) comments, i just wondered why there are as less comments even at well used and long existing apps, now i know why^^

Damn, learned as much in my time here, even learnt how to build cm9 from source lately and still such a noob^^

Ok, how will you handle it now? Or just let it be?

If you want to i can still add "your" comment, just tell :)
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
don't get stressed by comments like that - customer like us just laugh and ignore such comments and 1 star ratings :)
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Copied & pasted at the market comments :D
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
I am not shure if lovweld will agree to the post of his comment on the market. Maybe he wants a more diplomat aproach...it should have been better to ask first. Just my opinion... Anyway eagerly waiting for a new release with the new ftl :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I appreciate the support, but I would rather have people not do that, at least with the language I used here... :)

He's an asshole, and I would like to set things straight, but starting a flame war on the market comments could hurt me way more than he already did, or get me banned or something. One thing I learned from google on the last month: no contact, no appeal. If they decide to do something, you live with it. But that's a different story...

Cheers

P.S. Reaper will be belayed until I get my side project finished. Good news is that it shouldn't take long...
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Sorry :( I've made it because I've not read you preventing us for made it in the previous comments... edited
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No worries, and I do appreciate the intent. But it's time to let it go and move on, unfortunately there will always be this kind of people around...

keyboard lag issue makes me crazy. are there any workaround or progress?(may be next release?)
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Messagease https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exideas.mekb is working well for me :)
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I use Smart Keyboard Pro. both android keyboard and smart keyboard have the same issue.

edit: I use go sms pro for messaging. I opened default messaging app and wrote a few words. now the problem seems to be gone. weird.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I do not write long essays on my DS so not really sure if I am competent to say something here in this case, but I haven't encountered any lags when typing. I use Perfect keyboard.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The keyboard lag thing seems sort of random, and independent of the keyboard you are using. I sometimes go days without experiencing.

I still haven't managed to track the thing down. One user mentioned it could be the hardware acceleration, but I haven't checked it yet (even if it is, I won't trade that...).

What I did notice is that it appears to be connected to the dictionary searches. I mean, when you are typing, and the suggested words start showing above the keyboard. I think it's related to that. I may have to revisit the sqlite libraries, may be related to that...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I don't think it's related with the dictionary search because I don't use any dictionary and suggestions.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I don't think it's a question of you using them. Are you saying that when you start typing, there's not a row of suggestions that start showing above the keyboard? Doesn't matter you you use them, they still get looked for internally.
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
Yes, there is not a row of suggestions, I unchecked all the settings about text prediction in smart keyboard pro settings. but I didn't know that the keyboard still looks for them internally. If so, you're right :) So, why keyboard still looks for suggestions even if it's disabled. why can't it be disabled completely?
[HTC Desire S] :
Well, that was me. For example, games like Pool Master pro on your ROM were practically unusable since it needed, like, 4-5 "touches" until it registered any move.

Currently I'm on latest CM7 nightly and adding following lines to build.prop got me same problems as mentioned above + keyboard lag:

c/p from tweaks guide:

"9. Increase overall touch responsiveness

Code:

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1"

Hope it helps.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
New release V2.2 is out

Ok guys, here you go.

I rebased the code to the latest 7.2RC1, and kept all my previous tweaks. Major points on this release (apart from the CM7 changes) are the updated FTL (which as really come a long way since Reaper V2.1, and my last side project: A caller ID replacement on steroids: UCS. You can access it from Reaper control, but bare in mind that this is a first version, sure to have bugs. You can turn it off and use only the default caller screen of course, but I'd appreciate it if you try it out.

Note that UCS shows on top of the default phone.apk, does not replace it. On a call, if you press the back button you'll go back to the standard interface, so no loss there. There are a few quircks I know off and warn you about:

- When choosing a contact picture, on the cropper press save. Then on the next screen press save again. Sorry, just noticed that and I'm too tired to fix it now.

- All the contact pics will be saved to the root of the sdcard. Sorry for the mess, it will be fixed of course, but for this version it will have to do.

You wouldn't believe the time I spent on UCS, I hope you guys enjoy it. Be warned that it only works on Reaper! Same goes to the version of FTL, do not try it on other roms!

New features:

FTL Launcher

- Based on Gingerbread Launcher2 source code tweaked for extreme speed

- Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer

- Normal 2D app drawer

- Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock

- Configurable support for launcher auto-rotation

- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns (must restart FTL for changes to take effect!)

- Hide/show icon titles on homescreen shortcuts

- Configurable Dock icons size

- Configurable infinite looping of homescreens

- Configurable wallpaper scrolling

- Configurable support for scrollable widgets

- Swipe to action: Configurable "swipe up" to open drawer

- Swipe to action: Configurable "swipe down" to pull notification bar

- Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.

Ultimate Call Screen

- Full screen caller id on incoming/outgoing calls

- Configurable to scale up existing contact pics

- Configurable to use a default HD picture for all contacts (that don't already have one)

- Define behavior per-contact

- Includes contact manager for easy editing contact pics

- Possible to block individual contacts

- Block unknown callers

- White list /black list (allow/block marked contacts)

Enjoy
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
downloading!! and wow that's one long list of new features.
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
you had to do this when I just deleted the reaper2.1 backup! :D

My major gripe for CM was the ugly (IMO) call screen and Lowveld has fixed that too now. Can't wait to try it!

I have been too long on the GB MIUI ROM, time to change.
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
-FC on entering the sound option in setting/sound/sound.

-turning the screen on animation on still messes the unlock phone.

other than that, the update works flawlessly. Thank you for the update lowved.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
@lowveld : Congrats bro...

So does UCS support fb sync...what i mean is suppose I have a contact which i have synced with fb using a software say syncmypix...so will now ucs show full screen caller with that pic or it needs pictures on the sd card...
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
I am using v2.1 now and for v2.2 is wiping cache&dalvik ok?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yes

Lowveld, what if the keyboard lag is kernel related?
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Hi lowveld. I'got a couple of questions about the kernel. Will there be a newer version now that cm7.2rc1 has been released? Your post in the kernel thread says it's based on the CM source and I imagine that they have made updates to the kernel source as well as the normal since your last kernel release...

Also, your thread title says kernel 1.2, but now I've updated my ROM to 2.2, it says it has kernel 1.3 on it. Should the title be updated?

Cheers

Andy
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
None of the settings are working. Maybe UCS caused it?

Correction, only seems to be sound and display

Mby you can port this on htc sensation , but ics format?? Deem all the time comoering roms desire s vs sensation and there is one problem. There is not so good devs like you are, there are good ones but popularity go over perfection.

You don't ask for much do you!?:rolleyes:

Basicly in sensation section it is like that. There is know bugs we have codes all is relised for sensation, but they dont try to fix them, mby i ask to much , mby not

Running Reaper now for a few days, and its amazing fast, and uptade works fine.

Thank you for this great rom :)
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Buy Lowveld a Sensation and I'm sure he'll oblige you!
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
Gold words, if i found 1 i will sent him if he needs

Nice to hear that root had worked. Can't reach you in Skype you're always offline for me..

And when you update a rom it could help if you wipe the normal cache too, just sayin ;-)

Written in bad english on my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
When installing a new ROM I always:-

Use SD maid to clean apps, system apps and the cache

Then I do a full backup using ROMManager

Then I boot into recovery mode

Then I apply the update

Then I wipe Dalvik cache, normal cache and fix permissions (still in recovery mode)

Then I load up the new rom

Then I reboot as sometimes apps/icons are messed up after the first bootup

Then, once I need to charge my battery, I let it charge all the way to 100%

Then I use an app to reset the battery stats while it's still plugged in

I've NEVER had any upgrade issues when doing this.

Hope this is useful to someone.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Haven't decided yet. Depends on your feedback, and if I can fix any issues.

Has anyone actually tried it? Any comments? Seems awfully quiet, I guessed most people jumped ship to ICS...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
tried it for a hour yday (v2.2). UCS was pretty cool, but felt its still needs some beautification - don't blame me as I came from MIUI, which has the best call screen!

Also, it definitely needs some sort of contact photo sync. One visual glitch I observed was that the stock call screen was visible when I hung up calls.

All observations from v2.2, didnt get the chance to test 2.2.1 as I jumped to Primodanno from Virtuous.
[HTC Desire S] starzz:
I am a true evangelist of the Reaper as a daily driver and I don't think I will be using any other ROM for long and I really appreciate what you have done to it.

The thing is I have 1-2 calls a week and not bothered about phone part of my device at all. So can't help here, sorry.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Ive tried all the ics roms and always come in to some problems. If I have chance tonight I will flash the new version and leave feedback. Thank you for your work.
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
Fc when i try to change background
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I tried making a call but it took a few tries to get the call to connect. Although it hasn't happened again
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Due to UCS?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Doubt it. There's no outgoing call processing apart from showing the fullscreen picture. Everything else is handled by the regular phone.apk...

Cheers, and thanks for trying!
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
Forget about this... it was my fault :D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Oh must've just been something dodgy going on then. Other than that I haven't really seen any bugs in UCS
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Some feedback about UCS:

1. I noticed that no matter if the phone is locked or currently in use, the phone screen shows the same two buttons - Answer/Decline. It would be nice to have UCS with a ring-type control, when the phone is locked, just like with the regular dialer.

2. Something that was kinda unexpected - I was talking on the phone and I had to search for a contact in the address book. So normally I would put the phone on speaker and tap "Home" and so on... But tapping Home doesn't work with UCS, it always stays on top, so basically I can't use my phone for anything else while talking.

3. The regular dialer shows for a split second before/after UCS starts/stops (as someone else also reported)

That's it for now, I've turned it off, cause I need full functionality with the call screen.

One suggestion - is it possible to implement a Facebook Sync feature? This is something very important to me, because I don't have time to set photos for all my contacts and FB sync does it for me (when it works flawlessly - only on Stock with Sense 2.1 and on Sense 4.0).

Thanks :)
