put bfs for better battery life + less bugs
[Desire HD Android Development] -Alaa-:
lord if i wanna a stable version with great battery life i should go with the 7.4 edition with the included kernel? i think cfs is better than bfs right?
[Desire HD Android Development] brysnico:
Hi all!

First of all, this is a great rom for DHD! It run smooth, fast,... great work everyone!!

The other day, after flashing 8.0 with CFS kernel, i also started having problems with white screens for facebook and my exhange mail account. But after flashing the BFS kernel, all those problems went away (I've been searching for the difference between CFS/BFS but could not find those...)

Anyway, I have only one small problem left. I've been looking in this thread for the same issue and it seems to be reported some time ago but i couldn't find a solution. When i try to shut down my device, i doesn't shut down... it reboots. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? The only workaround i can think of is remove the battery?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] wtr_dhd:
No. You have to try it out yourself. I'm running the 8.0 final version with BFS and to me it is more than stable enough with an acceptable battery life.
[Desire HD Android Development] -Alaa-:
and the battery last for all day?
[Desire HD Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Yep, beautiful widgets, minimalistic text, all can be found on Play Store.

The blackened frost theme I got from here (blue icons). See the OP (or one of the first posts at least) and look for the themes, it should be linked somewhere there.
[Desire HD Android Development] RED_:
Hmm, if BFS is giving better battery life then I better flash it. Probably do it today.

I've come across a problem, possibly Nova launcher's problem and if so I'll post it in their thread. Every time I exit an app with the back button Nova launcher restarts. Anyone else ever had this? It's becoming to frequent for it to just be one of those passing problems I can live with.

I have the back to kill feature on since the text gets screwed sometimes. Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Yes, and using my phone quite a lot.
[Desire HD Android Development] starkilling:
Lock it in memory. Look for the setting in Nova's settings, it should be something like "Lock Home in memory".

[Desire HD Android Development] t0mas_:
that might be another issue, not sure from given info. it might also be a result of blocked comunication. as far as i understand, there are mainly two ways aahk can go wrong: either usb communication gets interrupted due to wrong/no usb drivers/antivirus/etc ot you flashed froyo hboot on gb shipped device. in later case, even getting to splash screen takes a long time, and initial vibration lasts for minutes. so i think your problem is somewhere in the lost usb connection. reed the manual, reed the thread

Which BFS kernal should I be downloading from the first page? The one everyone's going on about.

"LorDmodUE ICS BFS 8.9b8 - 10-03-2012 - http://goo.gl/ZqBZl - BFS version of the latest CFS kernel that is already included in ROM"

Correct? Presume it's the latest judging by the dates (this being the latest one listed) but just want to make sure.
[Desire HD Android Development] yolo2die:
Go here http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download/icecoldsandwich/Kernels/

The latest BFS or CFS is at the bottom of the page
[Desire HD Android Development] RED_:
Thank you, shall do.

Ok that didn't work. I'll try the old re-install, bloody annoying how it just happened out of the blue though.

eDIT: Force close when unplugging my phone from my PC after loading the kernal from above, it was a safe release. "Unfortunately the system UI has to close"
[Desire HD Android Development] david.degraw54:
In the build.prop what should ro.ril.disable.power.collapse be set to? On this ROM the default is 0 but I noticed on existz aospX it is set to 1..not sure which would save more battery

Also, would it be possible to port this over to the DHD and put in the rom/kernel? Very cool feature..

I'm having a weird issue with font in one news app. All titles look good (it's Cyrillic) but the text font is messed up.

Rebooting and cleaning up cache / Davlik cache doesn't help.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Can somebody show me a path?

I flashed the ROM again today after doing a cleared wipe and factory reset and also to calibrate the battery wiped the battery status..now when I open the battery info it shows 18hours on battery with a slight slope in the graph..!! I am using BFS kernel..

I am uploading the screenshot here..

Is there anyone help me with this strange..

Also is there anyway to remove vibration effect when we long press on the home screen?

Thanks in advance...I was on the other ROM for couple of days and back on this today..

Thanks in advance..
[Desire HD Android Development] pchtc:
Yes this is one of the simplest. I use a very similar tool called fast boot commander.

People need to know that you must be s-off

I noticed that a lot of people are not s-off

[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Here are my suggestions on new build :

1.option to remove vibration feature while unlocking the screen.

2.option to set the vibration to low or medium. The current vibration level (while on keypad) is too high..

3.option to remove vibration effect on long pressing home screen for shortcut or Widgets..

Thank you :)

PS: forgot to add before proximity sensor is not working properly while on call, tried calibrator app no positive results..
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
It clearly states not to run if your phone is already S-Off. Mine is SHIP S-OFF, or am I reading it wrong?

I tried this one first and the zip file has a virus and my PC won't accept it. I tried another file .rar and it aborted as I tried Temproot
[Desire HD Android Development] zelendel:
Just a piece of advice. Anything that can alter system files will be deemed as a virus and that includes alot of the tools that are needed and found here. There are no viruses in them. That is why it is advised to shut your anti virus programs off before downloading things like the ace hack kit.

Now as I am sure you have seen what LC posted. HE can no longer follow the thread do to alot of things that should be in the Q&A thread.

For bfs and cfs just use Google. They are common Linux schedulers.
[Desire HD Android Development] hvdhoeven:
Thanks for your fast reaction. But I do not understand.

Can you please be a bit more detailed in your answer?

Maybe a link???

Can I install the BFS over the ROM I already have (8.0 Stable)?

I use windows 7.
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:
for BFS meaning : google it, you can find on wikipedia

To install kernel, download bfs kernel (see 1st page for download link). Copy zip file in your SDCard. Go to recovery and flash this zip file.

So, in order to get to basics: I can install LorDmodUE ICS BFS 8.9b8 - 10-03-2012 - ... - BFS version of the latest CFS kernel that is already included in ROM on my Latest Stable Release

Version: 8.0 AOKP Son Of A ***** Edition (rom name courtesy goes to SoB source and SoB bugs and SoB issues and SoB you name it...) - 01-06-2012?

Or do I have to start all over again in installing all my apps after I have downloaded the BFS? :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] starkilling:
BFS/CFS are just 2 different versions of the kernel. Just wipe cache&dalvik and flash the zip, your apps and data do not get deleted.

Also the newest version is not 8.9, check this link.

I think some of us have answered these kinds of questions a dozen times, if not more. This is getting a bit annoying. People should just keep an eye on the thread once in a while.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Could you please share if you have used some script or special settings..in CPU governer which one do you use..I tried both smartass and ondemand.. I am not getting that good battery backup,using BFS though.. some suggestions would be helpful.. :D

guys, is there any way to uninstall nova launcher so that I reinstall another version (prime)?

didn't manage up to now. It seems to be part of the system.
[Desire HD Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Make sure you have another launcher ready to go already installed and than use something like Root Explorer and go to System/App and delete the .apk. Again, have another launcher installed first or be prepared to push one through ADB or reinstall the ROM
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
there is no need to do this. just buy / install the prime version or upgrade it from within the nova launcher. it will substitute the version you already have.

don't take it personal m8.

open a new browser tab and go to "www.giyf.com". that might provide you with some useful information and avoid further disussion on a matter, that has been disussed uncounted times.

Linaro Android Nearly Doubles ICS Performance, And Now Parts Of It Are Being Added to CM9

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/
[Desire HD Android Development] existz:
Read a few pages back...we have already been using Linaro toolchain and optimizations to compile full ICS source since January/February in aospX and LCs rom... its nothing new for us..

And Linaro is nothing new, they have been around for years... Their toolchains and optimizations have always been better/faster than stock...even mine and LCs gingerbread kernels were compiled with Linaro. (I've actually used Linaro only since froyo)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
so you wanna say this new optimization will be included in the near future?

edit: i hope it is not already included because if so then there is a 0% performance improvement from it.

to gain eng s-off, the procedure is pretty much the same, by flashing a pd98img zip, only that this time it contains modified hboot. the zips can be extracted from aakh/tools/hboot dir and have to be renamed to pd98img.zip. flash the newer one, the 2.00ver, the old one can cause problems on newer phones. but, BE CAREFUL! if for some reason flashing does go wrong, your phone is dead. from there, only jtag can save you. i flashed mine this way, to update from older one. and consider if you really need/want this, because all you gain is a full set of fastboot commands, meaning you can flash radios and other stuff(img only) from pc cmd, not via pd98img. one of the nicest features for me is to test boot kernel.without flashing
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Look guys take it easy

Ofcourse it aint optimized @ linaro level, lc stated himself earlier that it broke something when he tried o3, so im 100% sure the nostrictaliasing thing isnt done here too, otherwise, wouldnt lc & exist be the first to have improved android? Before linaro? :/

Anywayz Regarding the optimization afaik its not an overnight thing, itll take time so guess everyone needs to be patient :)

i have problems with the battery since 8.0?

i have 2 batterys. the first i can't recharge. the second recharge till 90% not till100%?!?!
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
this is all true. and in no way my question intends to critisize the work. LC knows this for sure. he know me and my contributions.

for me the answer from exitz was not clear enough regarding especially under the light of the current performance state.

EDIT: and it seems i was right to ask more specifically! the mentioned optimizations seem to NOT be included.

this of course does not mean that i do not apreciate the work here.

this is a dev thread so i ask questions to pin point possible issues etc. it is not a thread to spam "oh thank you, you are so great....".

the linaro optimization we talk about are merged into cm9 soon and thus should be included if lc will base this rom on cm9 again. if not then this must be done by him or exitz or who ever.

i also wanted to note ab out the current performance state to indicate that there may be something else missing or wrong. it is not a complain. but if everybody only writes how wonderfull this rom is no one would observe what has to be improved.

so during my numerous benchmark tests (using more than one benchmarking app and some self made ones too) for me on my device the result is:

in general the performance is worse than stock gb rom.

pure 3d graphics performance CAN be double but in practice (real applications like games) it is at best a slight improvement.

i know this is a work in progress and so i never expected this to out performe anything. i am also very interested in benchmark results from others to verifiy if this is only an observation valid for my device or a general one.

if anybody wants to do some serious testing that give usefull information he can ask me what and how to test (settings, benchmark apps) etc.

Music App going Loco

It has been mentioned before on this thread, but I'm still having significant issues with the Music player (stock android) deciding to start a new track every few seconds when I plug in headphones. Issue was fine on 7.4, ever since it has made my phone almost unusable when playing music. The issue doesn't seem to start until I actually have headphones plugged in and the music app running.

I've tried to use the recommended Headset Blocker app from the Play store, but actually, the only thing that solves the issue is a repeated combination of killing the app, toggling Headset Blocker, hot rebooting phone, in no particular order (I can't reproduce the fix 100% of the time).
