Me too...weird actually. Looks like it,s shrink the dialer...lol
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
It's not shrunk, just the keyboard has appeared over the dialer... This has happened to me as well.
[HTC Desire S] cuppacup:
To me it is not big issue. The rom is really great and fast. That's the main point why i still using the rom. Thanks for the info anyway...:)
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
didn't happen to me but I'm using a cm7 ics theme so it might only be stock dialer?
[HTC Desire S] spymare:
Great rom, but I would really like to see support for : 2 way call recording.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993793

It have to be integrated into the kernel somehow, alot of roms got support for it, but not this, also when running the callrecorder app from the market, it just crashes.

another suggestion: did you zipallign all the apps? and maybe a script that does it for all new installed apps too?
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
i am sure Lowveld zipalligned all aps from the base :) don't know about the auto script for new installed ones though...
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
since V2.0 (fresh install, installing apps with Titanium Backup with no data) i have serious battery drain.

Looking into it with BetterBatteryStats see that "gpslocationprovider" is active all the time and the same goes for "powermanagerservice". And my DS will not go into deep sleep.

GPS, wifi and bluetooth are off.

Rebooted several time to no avail.

oh,.. and my apps i have installed where the same as in the earlier versions of Reaper.

Can someone point me into the right direction to solve my issue?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I can see that you have used your phone about 24 hours and you still have 57 % left. IMHO you shouldn't trust these reporting apps so much...

The GPS location provider probably uses your mobile data (try to disable "use WiFi or data networks to determine location" in "Location and Security" settings...) also try to change the GPS Source option in the same menu.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
quick note

Regarding the incorrect scaling of pictures in the gallery app, it was a bug in the CM7 source. It was fixed today, so it will be on next build.

Cheers

P.S. Fixed by CM7 team, not me!
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
Last night the battery dropped from 92 to 76% which is to much. Normally i have a drain of approx 4%.

"use WiFi or data networks to determine location" i have disabled this morning, but i still see to much drain.

the GPS source option just has 1 option: internal gps.
[HTC Desire S] caki25:
Hm just ran into an issue I described earlier with updating to 1.6. Tried to play some music on the phone and it froze in the player when turned to landscape. Rebooted it with the magic three-button-combo and cannot unlock sim anymore. Also the home button does nothing... the rest seems to be working fine, just it's not a phone anymore :)

Anyone encountered it before?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
What navigation app are you using?
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
I'm using Navigon. Why?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I was suspecting that a navigation can keep your device awake, but I am using Navigon too and never had any troubles with it. Make a nand backup and try clean install to see if the problem persists...
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
A suggestion for FTL Launcher app drawer : there is an "application"option when pressing menu button in drawer. Now it does nothing but can open "manage apps" menu

It will make easier to stop or uninstall apps
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
i've provided a logcat (not sure if it will help) for facebook. I also keep getting random lag spikes!!! It really bugs me because i seem to be the only one and this is my favourite ROM so far!
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
will try that later. In the meantime i cleared my cache and dalvik again, rebooted and saw a pushnotification coming in. I had no idea where that came from and it was not in text messages. It was some spam about a spy app from a website called Mozzi. I used "Addons Detector" to figure out what app was causing this and it turned out to be a theme for Go Laucher. I deinstalled it and till now it's all peace and quiet on my DS. I'll have to wait and see if this situation maintains.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Dan,

There was someone complaining of several fcs and stuff like that on endy. It turned out it was because if restoring stuff after coming from one of the ics roms. Sure that's not the case?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
i did restore a lot of stuff but facebook was not one of them. But what would you suggest in this case? Also could another problem be that when i first flashed the rom, it was an upgrade from cm7 rather than a full wipe?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, restoring stuff from ics is definitely asking for trouble. I always recomend never to restore data across roms. Most of the time its ok, but when its not, its a ***** to track the issue.

I would recommend a clean install from scratch, install everything you need from market. I know its a pain, but its only once. Save a nandroid of that, and even if you switch roms, if you decide to come back you have a stable base to upgrade from.

The only lag I have is the occasional one when typing. Its not always, and I haven't tracked the issue down yet...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] pearer:
Upgrade or not?

Using 1.6.

I have just setted everything i needed and gotcha update :D

Well i think i wait for some time...
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
how comes your screen use is so low because I have my screen brightness set to 20% and its much higher than yours
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
cuz i think, his display wasn't active for 2 1/2 of 3 days :D

(look at the small blue bar)
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
arrrr that's what that is cheers m8 :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah!

I never knew that was a indication of screen on!

Thanks for that!
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Thanks, dunno why I didn't think of this! First fix caused the file I had placed in alarms folder to show, but, it stopped music player seeing any music, second fix caused music to show, but changed every sound setting to something random! Third fix solved everything :)

Question. Notifications and ringtones settings pickup all downloaded notifications and ringtones etc. But alarm only shows default and copies into the correct folder, is this behavior correct? Miui or Endymion etc shows all...
[HTC Desire S] pearer:
Yeap, 26% display usage points the same
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Please READ THIS

Ok guys,

As you may have noticed, I recently acquired a taste in launcher programming. At least to me, FTL turned out to be better and faster than I ever dreamed of at the beginning. And more, it's the first thing I did here that is not actually limited to the Desire S.

So I went ahead, coughed up the 25$, opened a market account, and published the thing. There's one Lite free version with some stuff not configurable, and the full one.

BUT I want to make perfectly clear that Reaper will always have the full and up to date version, you don't have to buy anything (unless you want to as a kind of donation, of course).

What I would ask of you, is that if you feel like it, go ahead and download the free version. Give it a spin, and if you like it, give it a positive rating or comment on it. There are a lot of apps that never leave 0 downloads, and word of mouth is quite important here.

Free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lowveld.ftllauncherlite

Cheers

P.S. I never explained, but FTL Launcher means "Faster Than Light Launcher". Any Battlestar Galactica nerd such as me will get the pun. :P
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Hey Lowveld...super cool...Congrats for that...:)

Now that you have launched it on Market...couple of things I would like you to look into whenever you have time...

1) A few themes namely Simplisized Gray Android theme and a few others when applied tends to FC the FTL launcher(loved the pun :P)...but works perfect in other launchers...tried launcher pro, go launcher, etc.

2) This just a suggestion know its the 1st version so as you progress try adding the capability to resize widgets...:)

Neways from rom point of view,,,Reaper just like its name seems a 'Death Reaper' for other CM based roms...fast stable and awesome...Great work...

Cheers to you :)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Great Lowveld...downloading from the market now, will leave a rating.

Maybe in the future you could add the resize for icons on screen. Swipe gestures, ability to long click and press x on it to uninstall...i really like go launcher ex i think it.s a place from where you can inspire. Cheers

LE : rated +5 stars! :)
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Downloaded and rated 5*
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
BSG it the ****, I've watched it to many times and i still can't get enough! :p

Btw, I tipped a swedish android site about your launcher, hopefully they will make it a topic.

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
Max rating from me - awesome by far the fastest launcher out there.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
FTL - Thanks for the support!

Guys, thanks for the support you've been giving me on this new "adventure". :)

As FTL is not only for Desire S users, I opened a thread on the main android Apps&games forum, to keep all FTL related stuff in one place. Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488483

Of course when it comes to usage inside Reaper, and as you'll have the full version, I prefer you guys actually discuss it here.

Again, thank you very much!

Thank you for your quick help. Seems I've uninstalled that bogus app. Totally forgot I've installed it yesterday...
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Best launcher for Android !POINT!

Will the pro version always be free for Reaper Rom Users?

(I wrote this in this thread because im not able to post in the FTL launcher thread (i dont know why))

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes, of course. :) But it will be locked to Reaper, won't work on other AOSP roms...

Cheers

P.S. Actually getting some bad press. because I forgot to exclude non-HDPI devices from the manifest. Although I state ti on the description, people keep downloading and giving bad reviews. Rookie mistake of me, but still...
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Isn't it possible to edit the restrictions on the fly, or you have to remove the launcher and add it again?
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
I don't think that the problem is that he can't fix it, I think it is that the reviews of the people are already released.

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Well... one thing is to have a total of 5 bad reviews, another is to continue getting bad reviews due to wrong restrictions...
[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
Of course, sharing your opinion.

Written with bad english on my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
I just installed 2.0 on a clean wipe (had a 1.6 backup but I've got a secret OCD love for starting from scratch every time)

It's SO fast! Everything feels so responsive, even more so than previous versions. The new launcher is amazing, it's ridiculous that you're getting bad press already for no themes and resolution restrictions. It's the first version!

The only thing I would say is there isn't really a need for the home icon on the app drawer - personally I just use the normal home button anyway. As mentioned before too, it would be nice to have "manage apps" as an option in the app drawer menu.

Aside from that, everything's just great and I can't stop unlocking the phone to play with the waterfall some more...

Okay, time to do work.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
I'm getting lockups on the phone. Done a full wipe and reflashed twice now.

When the phone is locked up the only thing I can do is turn on and off the display. The screen is completley locked.

Is this a known issue?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
For some people the default kernel voltage table is too low, at least two users I know off had this issue. Somewhere on this thread I uploaded a "compatibility patch", I'll look it up and add it to post #2. For now, try this:

- Go to Reaper control -> CPU control -> UV Control

- Choose 25 (not -25! scroll up, it's the first choice)

- Click OK

- Check the box "Apply on boot"

See if this helps you. The compatibility patch applies +50 instead of +25, but this could be enough for you (it was for Treti).

Cheers

-- edit --

Just re-read your post, and your phone does not reboot. Well, that was not what I thought at first, but try what I said in this post anyway. Also: Do not set the minimum frequency below 245MHz.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
Thank you, I did what you said. I haven't altered anything at all in the ROM settings as I wouldn't understand what I was altering anyway. :p

I will see if what you suggested makes a difference. :)

Many thanks for your time and effort. It is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

This was actually my fault, I should have investigated a way to force the market to filter out non-compatible devices. Instead I relied on people reading the description. My mistake... This resulted in people downloading, seeing that it did not work, and giving pretty harsh reviews. Also, I cannot answer those reviews.

I guess I'm too well accommodated to the general good behavior on the DS forums. :)

Anyway, for future reference, if any of you guys want to publish something on the market and restrict by screensize, include this on your AndroidManifest.xml:

<compatible-screens>

<screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />

<screen android:screenSize="large" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />

</compatible-screens>​

Your application has to be compiled with it, you can't change it after. Also, each time you upload an update to market, you have to change revision code. I only got this right at the 5th try.

The above example restricts the app to hdpi devices.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Had the same problem after installing a custom lockscreen mod. Then switched back to Rotary and tick/untick some options in CM-> Lockscreen (sorry do not remember which ones exactly) and no problem since
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Reading is very difficult. Hope we can help getting better press. Sorry for that. It always makes me angry when people do not read or ask stupid questions, especially if they are answered the post before they wrote. :mad: Even here on XDA, so why should they read the description in the market. (In fact, I don't have to write so much here cause I read carefully :D )

Lets all help lowveld and rate 5 Stars - FTL is indeed very fast an has all I need (even though I definetly prefer Sense).

The lockups are still happening. It just locks up with a picture of my keyboard and. Sometimes I can see half the screen.

Sorry to tell you Lowveld,

I am having exactly the same problems with Reaper 2.0. the thing I can try is a clean install, but honestly I don't understand why it worked on Reaper 1.6 but not on 2.0.
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Exactly the same problem here with Reaper 2.0 but not with 1.6.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Ok guys,

Thanks for the report! I'll check what changed on the nightly code between V1.6 and V2.0 and try to figure out what could be causing this.

Also Reaper is overdue for a update. I apologize for concentrating a bit too much on FTL these last few days. Now that I stabilized the version on the market I can concentrate back on what really matters. :)

Cheers

Just trying a clean install of Reaper 2.0. Will report ...

Good :) not to sounds bad, but I think most people will install their own launcher, witch fits them the best, I ex. use nemus launcher, witch i think is just perfect :D
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Hi Lowveld,

Hope this is not being cheeky but if you are performing an update can you also take a look at the flash video, even with the patch on post 2 I can't get flash videos to play. Other than that this Rom is amazing.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sure mate. I may need your help with that, though. I still don't understand why exactly it didn't work for you.

I'll probably ask you to run a couple of commands with adb and send me the output. Are you OK with that?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
sorry for the long reply but no, i didn't do anything with the rom. i just turn the orientation on.
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
I hope I can help ; ) , as I said before its not a killer just a "cherry on top" for me to have flash working.

Once again, thank you for the swift reply and wonderful support you are a true gentleman.
[HTC Desire S] rel_dude:
Lowveld, I absolutely love the FTL Launcher and also the Android Pro Widgets you recommended a few posts back!

However I have a few issues to report :

1. Occasionally, when on the home screen, the launcher will not respond to swipes to different screens until I press the home button again.

2. After applying a theme via the Theme Chooser app when I open the app drawer it is completely empty. Only after about 30 seconds does it work again that I open the app drawer and the apps are there.

3. Scrolling widgets is nearly impossible for me because if I scroll with a gesture longer than a couple of seconds it goes into the mode for moving or removing the widget.

4. I too agree that the home button in the app drawer is redundant since I just use the soft button on the device itself.

All these are minor annoyances and all in all I love this ROM and the launcher. I'm a big fan of Sense and never thought I'd find a non-Sense ROM that I would stay with.

Excellenct work! Thanks for all your hard work and time.
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
So far everything is very very smooth. No more troubles with Reaper 2.0. No idea what was wrong but it all fine for the moment.
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Hi there,

I also had such issues with swipes not being registered by the launcher immediately after waking up, but I think I solved it by Force disabling the Scrolling Cache! Try it, it may work.

I also think, that this ROM works better without the Supercharger activated.
[HTC Desire S] rel_dude:
How do you disable the scroling cache? I don't see any such setting in the FTL preferences.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Cyanogen settings->performance->scrolling cache

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:

just to let you now that your launcher is spreading well because if you google ftl launcher pro its already popping up on a few sites which can only be a good thing lets hope it don't end up on the sites that offer paid apps for nothing because it deserves to be paid for good luck in your projects lowveld and thanks again for your wicked rom.

thx lowveld..great rom..really fast n smoth.., but i've little problem here..in the camera preview always lag..how to fix that..?? thx b4:)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
???

Absolutely no issue with the camera on my setup... its snappy like everything else about this rom. (Except the keyboard typing lag... which is a known bug.....I think)

Can you describe exactly what is the lag you're talking about...? Maybe that'll help us understand your problem better.

i mean the camera preview always stop or freezing than run real time preview again if i change rotation the phone.. like from vertical to horizontal..but just a few millisecond n stop or freezing again..n so on.., i do full wipe before flashing this rom.., btw thx b4..
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey there,

There's a known issue with camera on CM7 kernels and derivatives, for a new hardware revision of the Desire S. It's probably your case, if you turn on the camera and the live preview stops.

Unfortunately there's no way I can reproduce that on my phone, which makes it kind of impossible to debug. But I know it's kernel related, as Endy will work fine for those phones.

I did go through all the media related drivers on both kernels and could not guess what could be the issue. But I haven't given up though...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] JJeamy:
oO..CM7 kernel..ya ya ya...i already tried endymion v3.4 too before..n not found this issue in my phone..camera is fine.., anyway i really like this Reaper rom coz of simple, fasted, n have good battery live..now i will wait.. n really hope u can find n fix this issue soon coz i believe u can..n i know u never give up..:)

btw thx..n sorry for my bad English..:D

Is their any way to fix the screen from locking up at all? I really love the ROM, it is very fast and the launcher for me is perfect however the lock ups are now becomming a bit of a deal breaker because the only way to reset my phone when it happens is to take my battery out.

Quick request for feature addition in the next release:

1. Flashlight from lockscreen by pressing gone button

2. Adjust screen brightness by sliding finger over status bar.

And if possible...diagnose and treat that infernal keyboard lag!!!

Have left sense somewhere behind without ever intending to... been on reaper steadily for the last two weeks, and didn't even realize it. Hell! I haven't even updated my signature !!
