When you will make a new build? cm7 had 2 updates from your last build (on 22 and 28 feb)

tks for this rom!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Reaper is not competing with CM7 buddy... nowhere in the description does it say that the update frequency is going to parallel that of CM7. When a new version is released, it is usually synced with the latest CM source for the sake of being up-to-date. And this is usually done when there are either significant changes in the CM changelog, or something new is developed that is native to Reaper. Reaper is near perfect in its current avatar... and you have to understand that as a ROM nears perfection, the updates tend to decrease in frequency since there are less broken things to "fix".

It'll be updated when there is something to add... and as usual, it will happen out of the blue. Asking for ETAs will hardly get you anywhere on the forum, for any ROM. Just be patient, and wait for it, like we all are doing (I'm just as eager as you are, pal)... it will come sooner or later. :)

Also, remember that CM7 is generated by bots on servers, with a whole team behind the setup. Reaper, on the other hand, is a one man job. Hand-made cookies take longer to bake that picking up a packet of biscuits off the shelf. But then, they taste better too!! :p:p:p

P.S. : This ROM is not built by me, and so i cannot speak on behalf of the developer. The opinions typed above are my own...and like all else human, they may be wrong. Please do not take offence, it's just friendly banter. Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
I think lowveld makes only updates if there are necessary and V2.1 runs perfect like it is i think
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Of course, we all appreciate lowveld's hard work :) He recently mentioned something about the new release with the new version of FTL Launcher - maybe this is one of the changes, that we should expect :).

Having now decided to try out Endymion I am faced with the quandary of which is best, Reaper or Endymion..........
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
And thus shall you remain, cursed forever by the evil witchcraft of Lowveld the wizard, writhing in torment and wallowing in agony....for once touched by either, your soul is eternally chained to the will of these two...one shalt not let you go, while the other beckons with lustful eyes...

Meh... I know... its a little melodramatic, but seriously! I haven't been able to figure out that choice yet...and i don't think there's a correct answer. I think that unless you absolutely abhor Sense ROMs, you'll end up using both Reaper and Endymion in bouts of Nandroid backups and restores. 'tis a choice not easily made! :p
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
easy answer: if u like the sense launcher, take endy - if not, take reaper!

I have a problem with this rom (or possibly my phone)? When I try to reboot it just stays at the white HTC screen. If I wait till the battery is completely drained and plug the power in, it boots perfectly.

Did I do something wrong with my setup?

This is how I rooted and unlocked my bootloader yesterday: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
I think I didn't do this:

But now my phone is stuck on white screen and I don't know how to boot into recovery. Do i have to wait till the battery is completely drained?
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
restart with vol up+down or via adb?

btw, wrong thread for these questions
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
I know but I thought it was related to the rom, which it is a bit..

The reason why phone won't boot because the bootloader doesn't know where boot.img is

I can reboot but not into recovery. adb says device not found.

-edit-

Thanks guys, problem resolved by pulling battery out during the 3 sec window after rebooting with volume up/down button and booting into recovery afterwards.

Then used ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' command.
[HTC Desire S] molchmolch:
Hello,

I just want to inform you that the battery-drain I expirienced is gone.

The only thing which I changed is from ClockworkMod to 4ext.

I don't understand what happend, but now my problems are solved...

keep the good work running...

thx Molch
[HTC Desire S] Andy3105:
Actually I'm using ADW EX instead of the Sense launcher which I have never, never liked, so far Endymion gives me all the little Sense things like the photo album lockscreen and live wallpapers which I missed on Reaper.........

I though You've been recommending deadline scheduler. Is noop any better then?
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
Is -4mA idle consumption better than -3mA idle? I'm not entirely sure how it works.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
The lower the better, so 3ma would mean less battery drain than 4ma
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
more -XmA = more consumption

so: -3mA < -4mA < -100mA
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
I only dream at this kind of power drain...i can't get below 18 :(

I also can't understand such a battery drain (10-11 ma). Before I brought my phone to service center where they installed a new motherboard, I had got about 6-7 ma, and now it is 10-11 =(

[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Not alone dude mine was around 7ma, got a replacement on warranty new one now at around 10ma
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Not all devices are born equal.

The battery consumption variable can also be applied to the CPU stability at higher clock speeds and to the amount of undervolting some devices can take perfectly well while others struggle to maintain system stability even with much lesser undervolting...

Turning Bluetooth Off during call mutes the speaker

Hey guys,

I've experienced this on Endy and on Reaper, but since currently I prefer Reaper, I'm posting this issue here.

I've set up Tasker to turn BT on when there's an incoming call, then wait 15 seconds and if there's no BT connection established, the BT turns off.

Unfortunately this setup leads to the speaker being muted after the first 15 seconds of the call, which is easily (but I don't see the logic) resolved by getting the phone away from my ear and putting it close again - guess it has something to do with the proximity sensor.

I hope I've been clear enough, it's not a simple thing to explain :). Can someone help?
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
crazy :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'd suggest posting this the question in the desires Q&A section our the Android Q&A section so that you get more exposure as this is a tasker issue not a rom one.

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Back to reaper, this time with a full wipe and no backups or anything. Absolutely brilliant. Fast and absolutely loving the stock feel. Let's hope it's third time lucky for me.

EDIT: I think ftl would be amazing with a choice between fast and buttery like the feature in Endymion.

Battery life is also impressing me!

@Tectas

ROFL :D

I always thought that was one of the funniest uses of the word 'Sorry' in the English language - apologising before doing something that you are not in the least bit sorry for doing :confused:
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, apart from FTL update, and of course new nightly code, I haven't got anything substantial to add. And regarding FTL, I wanted to add one more feature before branching out the Reaper version.

Are there any outstanding issues that need solving in V2.1? Any reason to rush out a new version other than itchy fingers?

Anyway, unless someone does some serious convincing me, next rom release from me should be Endy 3.5. Although there I face similar "problems": it's very stable as it is now, apart from some issues that have been bugging me for months and I can't solve them (at least I haven't figured out how, and yes, I mean tethering and general USB problems that affect a few people). So I don't know exactly how I will update it also...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
I honestly can't think of anything you could add to Reaper (or Endy!) to improve either. I've had literally no issues with them, 2.1 is everything I want in a ROM!

If people are having issues, I can only assume it's a rogue app or bad installation. FTL launcher is great and if you do update it it'd be cool to get the Reaper version. As I say though, just no problems at all, everything works, everything's superfast.

You've done an amazing job!
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
new version should have webkit acceleration support. Am I right?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Webkit is already there, it's used since day one of gingerbread (maybe even at previous android versions, but that I don't know).

It's the engine every android standard browser works with.

I think you mean hardware acceleration for webkit, if I'm not wrong it's already included.

lowwveld,

I already write the same issue twice and this is 3rd :D

here is my problem,

when listening fm radio(miui radio app), if I call someone, radio is paused/muted but I can not hear phone ring sound and the person I'm calling. If I touch the speaker button to enable and then touch again to disable, I can hear sounds.

Also, If I get a notification, I can not hear the notification sound.

could you please solve this issue? I think it's a miui radio problem.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Noticed that there is a wrong tag at this thread, the third one is tiamat saga 2.0.0, but even if tiamat would be used in here (and not lowvelds great work) 2.0.0 won't work because it's the ics kernel, tried to remove it, but somehow that's the only tag that can't be removed (at least for me).
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Anyone else has the grafical missmatch/glith in phone.apk?

reproduceable:

phone - type some "characters"/numbers - switch back to homescreen - switch back to phone: there are 2 dialer shown (one extremly crushed) - and the "buttons" are above the dialer.

If I delete the "characters"/numbers bevor switching to home there is no problem.

Anyone knows how to clear dialer-input at exit or opening (like in sense or exDialer - when opening dialer there are no old typed umbers shown)
[HTC Desire S] froggy666uk:
Hi Lowveld,

Couple of thoughts if you are struggling for things to put in another release... :D

I think there have been some recent changes/optimisations to the V6 supercharger scripts that may be worth while incorporating. I also run the KAK and 3G tweaks without problem (I seem to remember these used to be included but were taken out) - it would be nice to be able to turn these on/off via Reaper control (I personally find zeppelinrox's scripts and all the v6/motor terminology a bit hard going:) )

Apart from that I've had absolutely no issues at all with Reaper and can't think of anything else I'd want from it! Still running 2.0 (with latest paid FTL from market) so I guess I need to upgrade to 2.1 some time.

Cheers,

Dave.
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
I tried to reproduce this and couldn't. It must be caused by a conflicting app or a skin you are using. I imagine you've already tried rebooting the phone & seeing if you have the same issue.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Good. I don't think new versions of software should be made unless they are needed to fix bugs. There are no new features needed, so why bother. And surely any updates you make to FTLLauncher will be rolled out to the phone as soon as you update it on the market. So that wouldn't require a ROM update! ;)

Thanks very much for making this. v2.1 is working perfectly for me (now I've got the correct kernel). I had issues with 2.0, but I'm glad I took a chance and tried the newer version rather than just going back to the older zulugen!
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
I would like a new feature in reaper control if it's ok with you and the other guys who use the rom : an airplane scheduler for beeing able to auto switch airplane mode on for the night. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually a generic scheduler has been on my mind for a long time now. The question is, you probably can find a lot better than I can do on the market.

But I could try it out out just for kicks an learning though. What I would REALLY like, is email sync schedules. But that's a different beast.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
how do I take a screenshot on this rom?
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Hold down the power button and then press the home button or press power button and select screenshot from the menu :)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Great news :) you can inspire from juice defender, maybe make a sceduller for data/wi-fi/airplane. The ideea is that i don't need a complex app, just wanted to have all i need directly from the rom.:) that's why i didn't go gor a 3rd psrty app
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
I actually don't see how I can get the paid version of FTL in case lowveld stops rolling out new versions - every time I search for the full version of FTL, I see an "Update" button, not a price. And when I press "Update", I see a message that I cannot update, because I haven't bought it. But I can't buy it, so it's a death circle :(
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Eheh... Never thought of that one. I'm actually preventing Reaper users from buying. I'm a true businessman. :)

If you do want to buy, freeze or uninstall the reaper version. It is the same package that's on market, but as it is on /system, you can't uninstall it, and market gets confused. Never thought of that...

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
You would have to temporarily install another launcher and delete the ftllauncher.apk file from \system\app using ES file explorer etc. Then, you can buy and install the latest paid version from the market. It will install in your data folder and so you'll be able to update it whenever you want and also it will stay when you flash a new rom. Then you can delete the other launcher you temporarily installed.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

Can you have it install to the data folder when installing the rom instead of the app folder? Then you can also have a slightly different application name like "FTLLauncher_Reaper" and not bother having it link to the market so that people can actually install the paid version and uninstall the reaper version. Also gives incentive to buy it to get the latest version and automatic updates! :)

Either way it doesn't affect me as it was one of the first things I took off. I like speed, but I also like customisation and LauncherPro does both of those for me! :eek:
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Not that trivial, but not hard at all, I'll change it on the next version.

The problem is not the name, its the java package name, com.lowveld.ftllauncher, that's confusing the Market. Have to change that for the reaper edition.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Hey guys! I am not so firm with CM7 but after months of testing CM9

I need a stable ROM for my upcoming holiday! :D

Certainly I choosed this Rom because of all the good experiences with Lowvelds great sense Roms! :)

This Rom is great, but now I miss the look and feel of ICS.

So I downloaded some new ics themes, but everytime I want to change them with the theme chooser I get something like:

"this design was compiled wrong and cannot applied"

What am I doing wrong? :confused:
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Dunno buddy. But i have had considerable success theming Reaper in ICS flavor...

I used the following:

ADW Launcer EX (paid)

ICS theme by Sonny Sekhon

ICS theme for ADW Launcher

Results :
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Thanks a lot mate! Your theme worked perfect and looks realy great!

I think I know why the others don`t work...

I didn`t know that there are special themes for HDPI devices

and the ones I downloaded must be just for MDPI, I guess.:o

Thanks for helping me catching the mistake!

I use launcher 360 and found some great ICS themes there.

Now everything is good, fast like hell, fully operational and still looks great like ICS! :)

Thanks lowveld for your great work!

Hope to see some ICS Roms from you soon! ;)

So... I still have issues with the microphone in apps different from the phone - when I'm using Viber, the other side cannot hear me. The mic also doesn't work with the app Lighter Free with "blow detection" activated :-(

Can this be fixed somehow? Is anyone using Viber successfully?
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
Looking through your post history you have a lot of problems with this rom/ phone. Did you do a new install?

[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Well actually I don't have any other issues, it's great, but if someone confirms that blow detection in Lighter Free works for him/her,than the problem is on my side. Also, please confirm about Viber...

And yes, it's a fresh installation.

sometimes, keyboard becomes unresponsive for some letters. I don't know why but if I restart the FTL launcher, it works again.

does anyone have this issue?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Keyboard lagging is a "old" issue I still haven't tracked down. But it comes from before FTL Launcher, I doubt that's the issue.

I've not even managed to consistently reproduce the thing. Sometimes it works fine for days, and then it just stops mid-tiping. The only thing I could tell is that it usually happens during word prediction, like if searching the dictionary screws up the UI response.
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I don't use the prediction etc. I always touch the letters one by one :D

is there a updated miui radio btw?

Has Reaper development also stopped just like Hyperion and Endymion? I've watched Hyperion drop off the activity list, then Endymion joined the fray... but i never thought Reaper was going to go silent on us so soon... I hope development is not dead on this... there's still a long way to go before something akin to these fine-tuned ROMs is available for the DS based on ICS... took us long enough to get it right on GB (and we've had it for ages, so to speak)

Really loving the slickness of Reaper. I mean ANY launcher feels like a FasterThanLight launcher on this ROM!!:D

I don't think so. Lowveld wrote in another topic that he don't have much time @ the moment and this Rom works perfectly like it is. Some sites befor he also wrote that he would not bring out dayly updates if it isn't a must to clear some bugs. I think he works on Endy and on FTL.

Reaper 2.1 works really well so what changes can be made?
