Working perfect!

You turned me from "senseworld" to Cm7 user! Maybe someday in future or something when you possibly (of course not expecting or whining anything :D)do a ICS rom it could be called Genocide, Extinction or Apocalypse or something like that, because it would wipe all the other Rom developers from earth :) !! Youre the man Lowveld! Dont mean to kiss ass or anything, just RESPECT! And of course no disrespect to other developers and porters either, ive just been liking, and using your work since beginning of Endymion.

Peace

Problem with microphone?

Hi,

I noticed this issue with 1.2 also, but it's no big deal, so I didn't report it :) In some applications the microphone does not seem to work - for me it's the Voice Dialer and Lighter Free (the "blow detection" function). For regular calls the mic works perfectly fine.

Has anyone noticed this?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sry to say, but something with reaper control isn't working like it should.

OV/UV Beater was unistalled before i upgraded like you recommended.

I set 1209600 as max frequenz at wake state with reaper govenor, but cpuspy shows that it isn't used, 1017600 is used instead which is set at the cyanogen settings, i didn't used the cyanogen settings after i flashed the new version, i just took a look after i saw that the set clockspeed is different to the max i set.

With min frequenz it is almost the same.

Daemon Controller and apply on boot is also ticked, even when i didn't reboot since i upgraded.

The strange thing about it is, for about one minute it worked, but then it switched back.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hi,

Thanks for the report. Well, it's working fine here, so can you test something for me? Tick off the "apply on boot" on cyanogen settings, and read on:

If cyanogen settings sets this after Reaper Control (which it does on a reboot), the awake settings from Reaper Control will only be applied on a trasition sleep->awake. That is, only after sleeping it will work.

So a couple of tests:

1) let the phone go to sleep, wake it up and check if the correct frequencies are being used

2) tick off the "apply on boot" on cyanogen settings, reboot the device, and it should be working right away with no issues.

Thanks!

P.S. I knew some small issues would be caused by cyanogen settings, and considered removing that "apply on boot" option from the rom, but decided against it (I could bet my right foot someone would ***** about it :))
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
lol...:D:D:D

Oh.... the trappings of a developer! :p
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok, the first i can answer right now and it doesn't work unfortunattely, because i put it to sleep and waked it up a few times before i wrote my last post and if i understood it the right way it doesn't matter at this case if apply on boot is ticked at cyanogen settings, but anyway will also check it once more.

The second i will try now, thx for the quick respond :)

Edit: Ok, tried the 2. solution and it looks like it solved it, thx for your help and sry, could have thought about it myself to tick that off and reboot^^
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No, thank you!

It's actually more serious than that, and I probably wouldn't notice it myself. I tracked the issue to the virtuous_oc daemon. When it starts, it buffers the configured values, so if you change them later (e.g. via Reaper Control), it will use the old values.

You can try it yourself, if you change the configured values, the daemon will keep applying the old ones, but if you untick/tick the daemon controller, it will work.

I'll update Reaper Control to handle this behavior and post a patch.

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
lowveld, have you been able to check on the microphone issue?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
No mate, I'm at work now, it's one thing to answer some posts, another to stare at Java code when I should looking at C code, which is what I'm paid for :).

When I get time I'll look into it, but this is certainly a CM7 bug. I'm basing Reaper on nightly code, some issues are to be expected....

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You fixed the icons!!

Yaay!! :D
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Thanks, mate :) As I said, it's not anything serious. It's good to know this is a CM7 bug and not only a glitch in my device :)
[HTC Desire S] shrike011:
Yes, i can confirm that too.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Never noticed my icons are theme based :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Oh, maybe i was too hasty then... I think what i saw were theme based icons too![facepalm] Can't cross-check as i'm test driving the Virtuous Quattro RC1 (ICS). Will double check tonight!

Awww, what the hell, an extra Thank You never hurt anybody. So icons or not, Thank you again lowveld. :)

P.S. And curse you det, for ruining my ignorant bliss!! :mad:

:p:p:p
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Added patch to post #2

Ok guys,

This patch will apply any new settings you do to the OC values on the fly, no need to reboot.

Cheers

Sometimes mates just have to tell you the truth..no matter how painful it is ;)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually I did "fix" the icons. And as I didn't have time to do my Reaper theme, I'm now stuck with the same greenish icons that you like so much. :P

Ah well...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yay!! I was right!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!!

the fastest rom i have ever used! good job dev. hope you will continue the good work on the ics roms.

[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Sorry, for the noob question.

I uninstalled the OC/UV App before restoring the UV settings (had UV'ed by -50).

I've flashed 1.3 , If I UV again .. will that be additional UV by -50 ? or Default - 50?

Also, I'm too confused about wot to select in the Reaper Settings :(

scheduler / Daemon / ....
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
About Reaper Control UV Settings

Ok, this is a confusing issue, so let me try to make it clear:

1: For proper operation, you must uninstall OC/UV beater before updating to V1.3

2: If you do as above, any UV settings you apply on Reaper Control will always be relative to the rom default. This means the value you choose is absolute regardless of what you chose before. If you choose -25, and then later -75, the actual value will be the -75.

Now the explanation. When the Reaper Control boots for the first time, it checks what the voltages values are and those will be treated as default in the future. If you did not install OC/UV beater, there's a pretty good chance that the app will already have set it's own UV values when Reaper goes in (OC/UV beater runs automatically on boot, Reaper Control doesn't, I don't like to waste processor/ram). In this case, whatever you choose in Reaper Control will be cumulative with what you had set in OC/UV Beater at that time.

I hope I made myself clear, and you realize why I insistes on you guys uninstalling OC/UV Beater first... Hell, I shouldn't have fixed the thing. :P

As for the other advanced settings, play around with them if you want to, they won't hurt. I myself always use Reaper governor and noop or deadline IO scheduler. The point is you can change it if you want to, bunt you don't have to. I think Reaper comes out of the box with pretty decent speed and battery life.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Thanks for the quick response ! :)

I read the instructions & uninstalled OC/UV ... before flashing 1.3.

Was just confused , if the values set by OC/UV would remain set , even after uninstalling. Hence , the querry ! :confused:

I've now UV'd by -50 from the Reaper Control, after installing 1.3...

Also, I've selected the Apply on Boot as well as Daemon Controller (from the Reaper Control)... {& unchecked the Set on boot from the Cyanogen Performance settings} ! Hope that's how it should be ...

[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Wow guys,

Finally I get fast GPS fix'!! It just takes 2 sec everytime!!! Unfortunately, the wrong place in Germany. Totally wrong.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated?

Otherwise. Reaper 1.3 is so damn smooth. Fantastic ROM. Don't miss Sense at all.

Edit: turned off my device, pulled battery for 30 sec, reboot, no change
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

Well, the first time it gave me a lock it also showed me on the wrong part of the country. It eventually got it right, didn't take long, and then it was alright. Don't forget you need a working data connection (at least when you fire up whatever app you're using for gps) for it to work. You'll probably have more luck asking the author on the patch thread...

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but reading your posts makes my head hurt... :) Seriously, sometimes I don't even understand what you're saying...

But this time I think I got it. The UI is fully themable with the "Theme Chooser" app. Open it, it comes bundled with 2 very "light" themes. Look around on the Market, search for "CM7 themes" or "tmobile themes", I'm sure you'll find lots of them to play around.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
While try to locate maself over google maps it drowns me in the middle of some ocean. Thn takes me to some where near wher i am and shows that you are within 600meters circle messenge n neve shows ma accurate location........ dev plz help me....... what should i do.....
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Strange, got the same except once it has acquired my true location it's accuracy is about 10 meters.

That it first puts you to the blue is because in the first seconds it has no coordinates from you and puts you to the default location somewhere around Africa.

Maybe install GPS status or something similar and check how many satellites you lock, I get about 7 when I'm at home.

Edit: Did you have a data connection enabled while you tried this, because with this patch you need one to work properly.

And sry I'm no android dev, but I hope my answer can help you anyway^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Tectus i tried it with mobile data connection on and tried gps status it cant find even 1 satellite......... what should i do????
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey, read your post while at home, so tried Google Navigation on the way to work. Sorry to say, but it locked me into the correct position on about 10 seconds... In Reaper I included patch V2.2, maybe you can try the 3.x series and see if it's any good to you.

As for the Daemon Controller, before turning it on go through the frequency settings and make sure you don't go over the top. E.g. min freq never below 245Mhz, max freq at around 1GHz. These are safe values that should work for everyone.

Another possibility is the UV settings. You could have an issue if you had previously applied anything with OC/UV beater and didn't uninstall the app before the upgrade to V1.3. Please check this. If this is the case, uninstall OC/UV beater, and then reflash V1.3 (no wipe needed).

Even if you didn't do any undervolting, the voltage tables used in the kernel are based on the tiamat kernels, which I personally think are a bit on the low side. That's why I included the option to apply +25mV (over-volt). You can safely try this for stability, it won't harm your phone in any way, it's well within specifications (as in real specifications, not the insane settings some people brag about).

Now for the beer.... I'd like that. Really. Never been to Dresden, but spent some weeks at work in Munich. To this day, I'm still trying to find Augustiner Dunkel here in Portugal. Apparently it's the only thing you guys don't export to us. :P

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
this rom kicks ass cheers lowveld your a legend.

+1
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Hi There,

I never undervolt my device. So I m trying to overvolt now with +25. I installed now the AGPS 3.1 patch, no change. It find the same position again and again but not my real location. I think I ll go back to Reaper 1.2

For the beer, just PM me an address and I'll organize you a box of Augustiner Dunkel.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

No need to revert back to V1.2. I'll post a patch to remove the agps patch (sounds funny) for those having issues with it.

And I'll take you up on the beer. I never joke about beer. PMing you now...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok, then let's try the 3.1 version, if this even doesn't work try the alternate build of the 3.1 version (both are flashable over 4ext or cwm) and if this also doesn't help, flash the unpatch patch for the agps patch that lowveld will offer soon^^

Oh and btw my nick is tectas ;)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Added patch to post #2 - agps patch remover

Ok,

You can find the patch in post #2. But please note that the agps is working fine for some (for me it's working), so your problems could be something else.

Cheers

P.S. Just thought of something, people with issues, make sure you're not restoring the gps apps from Titanium, just to be on the safe side. E.G. install Google Navigation directly from market.
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Jus flashd 3.1 google specific build.. got 1 satellites

Guss better than nothing naa.......
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could you pls just to try flash the unpatch patch and check how many you get there.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
GPS

Ok after removing the AGPS Fix, I am back with the old lame GPS Fix as before.

Actually I realized that the GPS fix I got before was always in the exact center of Germany.

Thanks and regards
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
With alternate build i got no satellite fix........

N with no patch got 2 satellites fix with in nly a minute

N maps still shows around 600 meters

What to do????
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Hmm, try to backup your rom, make a full wipe, a clean install and check if you still got that less satellites.

First try it without agps patch (install reaper v1.3 and afterwards immediately flash the unpatch patch, then try the same with the patch (just reflash the rom), just install gps status as additional package and nothing else for test purpose.

But strange that you get more without the patch then with it, did you notice something similar with another rom?
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Somethings wrong with the included gps patch, I can't se any satellites whatsoever.

Flashed the google specific 3.1 that I used on 1.2 and now it's working.

Another question, is there any way to get higher quality pictures when making a call?

I tried syncmycontacts that syncs higher quality pictures from Facebook, but the ones that show are still crappy.

Cheers!

love it, but can I install a new keyboard, like this (Sotck HTC Keyboard with arrows for V2.2)?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok had enough of this ICS mods, there is a lot more to be done until they reach an "usable" state.

Just flashed Reaper - FAST indeed!

Good ol' CM - it has been some time but I feel like back home after looong journey :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Won't work I think, sense uses another framework layer, but every aosp or from market provided keyboard would work, I would recommend swype or swiftkey x.

Welcome back, missed you here^^

Can understand that you switched back, tried to use the first ics beta as daily driver, but switched back, even tried all new releases.

They are sure useable in their special way, but I really got used to the feature richness and speed of cyanogen and I'm somehow addicted to it and after the work of lowveld it's even harder to use another rom^^

I hope when cm9 is finished it will also fit this needs^^

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Well, this seems to not have gone smoothly for everyone... For reference, the included patch is V2.2 Google specific. Why I chose V2.2? Because 3.X relies on the author's own servers. This is very generous of him, but I couldn't be sure if they would be up in the future, so I went the safe way and used google's own servers.

Note that I did talk to the author and explained my reasoning. He understood my reasoning, but assured me that the servers would be up at least until 2013.

For me V2.2 worked perfectly, but some people are having issues. I'm not really a gps expert, far from it. So what I can do on next release is provide some sort of tweak in Reaper Control to install/uninstall different versions (or no version at all) for easier testing. This way it will be up to the user to decide what's best for him.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Excellent works as always, lowveld. Was waiting for the stock icons as the icons in V1 were not to personal liking. Thank you. Super liking the slickness of this ROM. :):):):)
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
No random reboots anymore with +25 OV. Thanks for being so wise and including this option in your Tweaks.

pls what can u guys say about d battery life on this ROM?

am using it now...very fast n smooth but the d battery drain on my ds is terrible!!

fone lasts half a day.... sometimes just over 7hrs!!

And when i check d display stats its mainly CELL STANDBY, DISPLAY n PHONE IDLE that tops d list..... even after tweaking n adjusting d settings!!

Any help or tips here?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Dear lowveld :)

Troxter is facing a strange issue, he can't get the 2 virtuous based ics roms and also not reaper to work, i told him/her to post a logcat of his/her boot of virtuous at their thread, but cause he/she also got this at reaper i thought it could have something to do with virtuous dameon and you can maybe take a look at it (i also told him/her to post the logcat from reaper here), it sure can be something completly different, but even then you maybe can fix it, if not for both maybe at least for reaper :)
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
if u use your phone, u will drain your battery. if u use it much, it will be empty in a half day - if u use it sparely, it will be empty after a whole day. thats absolutely normal!

no rom increase/decrease your batterylife appreciablely- it's just about how intensely u use your phone!
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
you dont get my drift...

is it possible to use d fone "sparingly" n it lasts for at least a 24hrs or more?

OK ... pls can u give a summary of how ur battery lasts while running an AOSP e.g cm7 ROM?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Not completly true, sry.

Many roms are tweaked to use less battery in idle, as sample amidabuddha got about 5 days on an older cyanogen version (undervolted and underclocked) with light usage, but if you'r more a poweruser you won't see much difference in battery life, that's true.
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
thats one of the tips hv been looking for.... whats d avg/good/stable underclocking n undervolting figures one can use to get a decent battery life?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Sounds like his cpu has very strict voltage limits. I changed the voltage table on Reaper kernel to match Tiamat V1.1.5, as hardcore cyanogen users swore it was the best. Personally, I think they're a bit on the low side. That's the reason I added the possibility to overvolt +25 in Reaper Control. Treti was having random reboots and this solved it for him.

I would say that his cpu is even more "strict" than Treti's, and the phone reboots much more faster. I have no idea what they're using on the virtuous roms, but in Endy I increased the voltage to safer values due to several people complaining of instability, that's probably why he has no issues with it.

I can try to fix it for him. I'll post a patch that will raise the voltage immediatly at boot time and he can test if Reaper boots ok.

Cheers

--- edit ---

@lynxnoon: this is the sort of issues that you can get undervolting. Are you sure you want to go down that road? I get about 2 days battery with normal usage, your problem must be somewhere else. Take screenshots of the battery usage graphs and post them here. Also, the first thing you should do is clear battery stats and start from scratch. Look around in how to do that.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Puh, would be the best if you ask him yourself.

But be carefull, the reaper kernel is already undervolted, but I use additional -25 to undervolt, but don't underclock, I overclock to 1,2 ghz, but a value of about 800-900 mhz should be enough to get a little more battery without noticing speed decrease.
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Gratitude Lowveld for all the hard work here on XDA.

From all that i read it's clear that you are the most responsive and helpful developer on this forum!

PS: been trying all governors on your rom and seems that the conservative one has the best performance/battery life ratio compared to all others.

I can say that the frequencies of the CPU are switched faster for every app used, and most of the time it keeps the cpu from 245 - 800 Mhz except when hard used when it increases the frequency to the maximum.

In terms of performance, the reaper gov is the best but keeps the cpu much longer at higher frequencies when not needed -> smaller battery life.

My CPU runs without problems with UV at -50. (6 hours of low-moderate use with wi-fi permanently on and now at 92% battery life - using the conservative gov 245-1Ghz with -50 UV settings). Didn't noticed any lags.
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
<=

cm7 nightly - stock cm kernel

368-1024 mhz - interactive gov

mobile data sometimes on / wlan on, it holds also a day

mobile data perm on / wlan off, it will drain to 0% in ~10-14h

the only tips i can give about batterylife is, dont oc your device (in my advice its senseless to oc the desire s). uv maybe woud give u a few more minutes/hours, but uv can make your phone unstable (so, no solution for me ;)).

but i can say it everytime again - if u use your phone, it will cost energy :)
