Even if i really would like to give all credits for it to lowveld, the gestures are a cyanogen feature and not reaper specific.

I think the future is in voice recognition, but can also be something.
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
found an issue with FTL, dont think its been mentioned before.

if you change the number of rows on FTL to 5 and place a widget or app shortcut on the fifth row on any of the homescreen, after some time the widget or app disappears.. you can also restart the FTL launcher to replicate the same behavior.

It's not a big issue but it does stop me from using 5 rows. I have been on all ICS versions available and I still don't see why I should shift (for good) from the rock solid Reaper. Btw, I get gps fixes within 10 secs without any AGPS patch applied, on the earlier Reaper versions (1.x) this was not possible, any idea why?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
That disapearing icons thing happens on asymmetric grids, like 5x4. Doesn't happen on 5x5.

That was a bug for a lot if time, but it was fixed on market version 2.1.3, which is different than the one in reaper.

I just haven't updated Reaper, but will do. That and the extra smoothness on 2.1.4 are well worth it.

Cheers

Hey lowveld, some issues here...

Market was working fine yesterday. I could install apps. Then I did a backup & restored Endymion

Decided to come back to Reaper again.

Market can't download any apps now...

I'm on the latest market version & I tried clearing data from the app + rebooting...

Any ideas? :(

P.s - loving this ROM, it really makes me wonder why I decided to choose CM7.1 over this back in January!!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
EDIT

Issue seems to have fixed itself. Apps now installing fine ...

Hmmm.
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
Hello Guys,

Gave CM9 a spin for the last few days but wasn't really pleased.

Flashed Reaper some hours ago and spend some time to adjust it.

I must say I like it so far. Had a Reaper-ROM a while ago but wasn't enjoying it then (Endymion was better for me, I am still a Sense-Enthusiast) .

Two things I encountered:

In cyanogen settings the overscroll-effect isn't switchable correctly (no overscroll is the line and any other option gives me line + bounce)

T9 dialing doesn't work in phone-app.

Also I have some suggestions for improvement in FTL Launcher:

I am missing a bar at the bottom which shows me where I am (which of the screens in am on).

Also I would like to have an option to switch the relative positions of screens (e. g. switch screen 3 with 5).

There is an option to hide the labels but none to change the alignment. Some of the labels are not fitting in the space available and are faded out at the right side. I would like an option to center the labels and perhaps to automatically decrease the font size of labels with too many characters. Perhaps there is even a way to make labels editable?

Those ideas are based on the FTL version provided in Reaper 2.2.2. And they are only suggestions ;-)

Very nice job lowveld ;-) Reaper and FTL are very good!

EDIT: Both Cyanogenmod-Bugs disappeared after a reboot. Sorry Guys...
[HTC Desire S] csakthikumar:
Hii guyz i just flashed reaper2.2.2 over reaper2.2 and my gmail app has disappeared any ideas regarding this

Thanks it worked
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
i want to try Reaper ROM, i am coming from CM7 "update-cm-7-20120404-NIGHTLY-saga-signed" - can i just update the ROM or need a full wipe? Thanks!

---

NVM - read the first post. thanks! trying it now.
[HTC Desire S] StvnKwlzk:
Installation Instructions

- If coming from any CM7 release (official or nightly), or previous Reaper releases, you should be fine flashing over it and just wiping Dalvik cache

- Install the V2.2.1 updater over a V2.2 install only

- If coming from anything else, full wipe is required.

- IMPORTANT: Uninstall OC/UV Beater before installing V2.2. If you uninstall it later, the app leaves stuff behind that will prevent Reaper Control from working properly

Think this will help
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Latest update is v2.2.2, not 2.2.1 - but the same principle applies ;)
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
installed Reaper now. one question on th FTL Launcher, how can i set the dock icon as 3 icons only? thanks!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Look under the Reaper settings. You have either 2 or 4 (both + the app drawer to make them 3 or 5)
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
thank you! this is really fast! thank you for this Awesome ROM! Cheers!

just one question, noticed that on the notification, when i am connected on USB, "USB Debugging" Notification is not displaying, just the "USB Connected" - checked Applications > Development - Debugging notify is enable.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Exactly the same on mine. I don't recall seeing a USB Debugging notification on Reaper before and certainly wouldn't worry about it.
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
ok thanks! really loving this ROM! super super fast!

UCS just made it to the Front Page!

Hey Lowveld, guess what? Your UCS made it to the XDA Portal page. Congratulations man!!!

Here's an excerpt : "Do you wear glasses? Is your vision not as good as it could be? Do you like seeing huge pictures of your friends so you are reminded of what they look like when they call? Do you have “friends” who use iPhones and brag about their awesome answer screen? Well, XDA Senior Member lowveld has a solution for you..."

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
And just spent the last 4 hours non-stop trying to figure out wtf was wrong with Motorola devices. I think I got it... Low VM heap sizes, out-of-memory errors creating bitmaps, what a mess.

Anyway, I'm getting severely bashed in the market reviews. Sure is nice to get the attention, bit the problem with free apps is that just about anyone can rate 1 star and say whatever they want, no respect to the work done, or chance to fix it. I mean, I doubt that there are many people out there that could fix that issue in this time, with almost no data at all.

Excuse me, but I'm tired and rambling. But I'd like to ask a favor of all of you out there who actually respect my work:

Please download UCS from market, and if you like it, rate it accordingly. It's free, just takes some of your time.

If this goes on like this, I'll simple take the free version out and leave the paid version only.

Cheers, and thanks for all your support. It's a jungle out there outside of this DS forum...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Already on it... Play store, here I come. :D

EDIT : done. Also saw couple of new 5 star ratings there, from HTC Desire S owners... Lol, we'll drown out those Droid bionic buggers!! Also planning to get my hands on my wife's phone when I get back home and add another review. Least I can do for all the amazing development you've been bringing to the DS and android in general. :thumbup:

Don't let the morons get to you. You keep doing what you do best, and rest assured you've earned some fans for life.:D

Hey Lowveld,

Is it possible to pick up the image from the contact rather than having to setup all contacts?...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That is a feature of the Premium or pro version (dunno what lowvels calls it - it just says license on the market).... you can buy the license from the market :)

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks a lot guys, this means a lot to me. I know I shouldn't, but with the time I put on to this stuff, and all the other stuff I don't do because of it, I tend to take destructive criticism personally...

Cheers

Reaper Update, coming soonish, but worth the wait

Ok guys,

Funny thing is that this UCS flooding because of it going "XDA Portal" took me by surprise. I was actually working on FTL, and intended to release a new Reaper with it updated. As this is Easter weekend, I doubt I'll get ti done, but it will be soon.

I don't usually tease, but this time I can't resist: Remember the main complaint about FTL being lacking the ability to change icons or personalize looks? That's changing. Big time.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Well said Simon. Least I could do was buy the app for all the brilliant work you've done for us lowveld many many thanks mate :D
[HTC Desire S] StvnKwlzk:

[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
Hi Guys, really loving this ROM so much, thank you @lowveld for this awesome ROM, just some request for noob like me, if someone can do a Maximize your battery guide just like this post

i am more particular with Reaper Control on CPU - do you guys have the optimal setup for battery life. thanks :) sorry for noob question. thanks again.
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
how should i explain this? all these "batterylife guides" i've seen so far are not really helpful - in my opinion. if i read things like "use battery calibration tools" or "use THIS great tool" i just can do a facepalm^^

if you use your phone, it will drain the battery. no app/script/setting can change how much energy will be drained. if you disable things the haptic feedback, yes this will save energy, but how much? 5 mA/h over a full period?

the only real thing which u can contol how much energy will be consumed is the clock and voltage (except the display brightness).

high clock/voltage = high consumption, low clock/voltage = low consumption.

thats all! but if the clock/voltage is too low, the device can become unstable.

i use the reaper gov max 1017.600 / min 245.760 (on awake and sleep mode) an +0 uv and my battery will hold about 3/4d to 2d - depending on how much i use it.

and this is the normal batterylife of a desire s.

no tool or tweak can improve your batterylife over this time period!
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
this is what i really want. thanks for this! i really don't know if i should UV or not. but seeing your not, probably will not too... i am using reaper gov. thanks again! :p

camera problem

Hi all.

firstly respect and thanks to lowveld for a great ROM

I have been using reaper for a while and agree with those who comment that after a week with this, there is no going back in terms of speed and overall performance.

my problem: lost my phone ( may or may not have been alcohol involved) so replaced it with a fresh DS, rooted and then installed Reaper to get back to work.

I did a clean install, V2.1, 2.2, 2.22, and all seemed fine until I tried to use the camera, which basically froze everything such that I ended up having to ( gulp) pull the battery and restart. Problem persisted, so ended up having to go back to fresh Endy install as I needed phone for work. No problems with this , everything works well, another great ROM.

I later tried a clean install of v2.1 only, but same result. Never had any issue with this ROM before, and in reading through this thread have not noted anyone else encountering this problem, any ideas?

I would really like to go back to using this ROM but camera is important for work related things, so that is the dealmaker for me.

Any thoughts, suggestions, solution greatly appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If I recall correctly, there was an issue with cm camera app with newer batch of HTC desire S phones which came with a hardware revision that caused problems with the CyanogenMod camera. I thought this was resolved but apparently it persists... Best wait for lowveld to answer or drop him a PM.

And for God's sake don't pull the battery next time. Just let the phone discharge over time and switch off by itself.

I think that everyone will be interested in this infromation about tweaks on our roms: http://www.everythingabouttablets.net/2012/03/03/avoid-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-supreme-mods/
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
the reaper kernel is already (-25) undervolted if u choose 0 at the uv table. so u allready have the lowest stable uv setting :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
First, they're talking about cm9, not 7 which is reaper based on.

And cm9 is still alpha, we got nexx and nk111 doing the build, at the touchpad it's another one, if you look deeper into you will see that the most changes are related to wifi and how to make it better.

Also read the first lines, they aren't cm users at all, because the stated they just wanted to use it for hardware testing, not as daily driver.

But thx anyway.
[HTC Desire S] kozalak:
I still have the unresponsive keyboard buttons issue.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Totally agree, basically brightness level will make a difference to energy consumed, but best method to save energy is to leave screen off. The amout of data usage through background syncing that your phone is setup to perform will also have a significant impact.

Other wise use = battery consumption. You can minimize further by switching off animations and all the fun unnecessary things that the phones does, but how much this helps is minimal.

[HTC Desire S] SANGER_A2:
Change the resolution to the other 5mp option. Or to a lower option and check it, then back to 5mp. I had a bug with my camera after installing and this fixed it.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I hope it works out, but I doubt it. Well, you never know...

This is an old issue, first victim was Trotster. Apparently the CM7 based roms have an issue with a newer hardware revision of the Desire S. I couldn't get to the issue, as it's quite difficult not having the actual hardware. All I can say for now is that your phone will work fine with Endy, and probably other Sense based roms...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] yipeeyiho:
thanks for your replies Enigmaamit, Sanger and Lowveld.

I guess it has to be worth a shot to try changing the resolution, but suspect Lowveld may be right, and I will sadly have to say goodbye to Reaper, for now at least.

Either way, will let you know how it goes.
[HTC Desire S] chrisrudolf:
Can't wait for the update. The changes for the FTL Launcher sounds more then nice. :D

- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows
​

Pro Version Extras:

- Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.

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

- Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns

- Configurable Dock icons size

- Configurable "swipe down" to pull notification bar

- Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed​

Hope you enjoy!

I'll try to build a new Reaper version with the updated FTL and UCS this weekend.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Great going buddy!!

This is getting bigger and better with every version. Best of luck for your future products too!! :D
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Hi Lowveld,

Thanks for the new and improved FTL - downloaded and running, looks good so far although I haven't tried importing themes yet, but will later today.

Just a quick question. I only ever use 1 home screen as I then run QuickDesk for all my icons and stuff (I love an uncluttered home screen). The issue I have is that anything on the home screen, such as widgets, still move from side to side as if you were scrolling to another screen. I have come across launchers before where a single screen meant no scroll effects, and was wondering if I am missing a simple setting, or if you might be able to implement this in a future version?
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Hey lowveld,

I'm using FTL Pro now and it's great. Really excellent work.

Something to maybe bare in mind for a future update is that themes often come with multiple docks. It would be great to be able to choose which dock to use rather than FTL jumping straight to the default without any choice.

That's still only a minor issue for me though. Thanks! :)

There are also loads of reviews on FTL!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually I did a couple of weeks ago, but never heard any kind of answer. I didn't know you had to apply, I thought it was either the moderators that noted you, or the other users that suggested you.

It would be nice. :)
[HTC Desire S] StvnKwlzk:
Dude you're just awesome. I will definitely switch back to FTL now. just great
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
UCS is famous now

Ok, so I notices a sudden increase of UCS downloads, which usually means someone did a review. But it was really getting many more hits than ever, so I went online, checked it out, and...

UCS was featured in Lifehacker!

http://lifehacker.com/phone-calls/

It always nice to hear nice things about your work! And the added business is welcome also, of course :)

Cheers

Has any one else had a bug if you can call it that where regardless of settings gallery always auto rotates?
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
bug? why should an app overtake this setting from the system settings?

my videoplayer also rotate^^

i know, this is ****, but not a failure of cm7 :)
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
Don't mean video player, the gallery app used to do what the phone setting says, on cm7 if settings are set to disable auto rotation then the gallery obeys this but not on reaper for me, videoplayer always runs in fullscreen horizontal as its meant to anyway
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I got something for you (or to be honest I just repost it here) to play with, for sure if you like to and got time aside ucs, ftl and the endy update.

Looks pretty nice and maybe others will also like it.

Yeah, Shrome posted about this back in November. As far as I know, he has already asked lowveld about it.

Supercool feature, I'd love to have it.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yup, i'd love it too... Lowveld, if you're free (after UCS and FTL were born, we've almost lost you here... :( ) please do look at these features if possible

You can obviously do it on Reaper, but please don't forget us long time Endymion users... ben, oly, anyone care to bring out the trumpets??

1. Swipe to dismiss notifications

2. Sweep to Wake phone (as proposed by colarus and reposted by Tectas)

3. Font Size resizing (Hyperion size - as seen in RunnyDroid, i think) as an option in Endy tweaks.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
+1, I second it my friend :)

Poor old Endy, all on its own now :( :p

It'd be a dream to get those 3 features ;)
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
i second this, 1 and 3 are the reasons i couldnt use endymion as a main rom even though i wanted sense again
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
