I agree, it seems that the more work that has been done to get the camera and video recorder working correctly they have caused other more key parts of the rom to break.

I know that the video recording is important and I am glad that at the least the camera is working. I just wish that due to the camera issues being fixed we have lost some of the core features of the device, namely the phone.apk and its rendering as well as the mobile data connection issues.

I know that twisted will work hard to get this all fully working for us and I can't wait till we see the full working ICS.

He has been great so far in the releases and the quality of the work. Just hope others can follow this example.
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
As soon as a new rom is leaked, there are 3 or 4 'branches' based off it with teams doing their own thing right from the off...

You end up with 3 or 4 roms with a wide variety of 'extras' added and grafted from elsewhere, whilst all focus on fixing the core issues is lost.

That's why the same old bugs keep surfacing in all the ROMs because there are too few folks working on the real fundamentals and too many working on the 'glory' aspect of 'Team XXX' ROM

That's a gross oversimplification of course, but essentially it's true. It's such a shame.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The phone not displaying properly is the 4.0.4 merge and the core focus here is the basic functionality. Been spending too much time in other threads where fixes only happen when someone else writes them...

The focus on camcorder is not because it's some big important feature, it's because it won't be fixed for this phone any other way. Clockan said himself he won't fix it. What other options are there?

The phone can easily be solved by pushing any working phone.apk until the layout is resolved.
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
Cool ill do that when I'm next on..or I flash your next build if the issues there etc
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It will be. I did a lot of options for stability and display to clean up that stuff but still haven't found the cause until I can take a better look at it. Had to stop and run a build to see all the issues.
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
No worries pushing an apk to have it working isnt exactly painful anyway
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
Something I have just noticed that when trying to use the Play store via pc I can no longer see my device.

The store works fine on the phone though!!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Sure you're picking the right device? They do end up with a few copies of the same one that you have to choose from
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
Yeah I normally have 3 options for the phones I have had including this one. All it shows is my old phones. This device doesn't even show at all!!

I will try the normal routine of trying to sort it, cache etc.

Ah well I normally use my phone or if I do use the PC version I just download the app into my dropbox and run them from there that way it bypasses the device check.
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Could some one please post a working 'phone.apk' from an earlier build which resolves the corruption. Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] JoKeR_FaCe:
Here!

Push the tanks button if it help, pls!
[Desire HD Android Development] :
It seems I deleted my old downloads. Give this one a try, it's from existz latest build, but it should work (twisted correct me if I'm wrong)

https://www.box.com/shared/2ddd4d0ff9b6821528c6
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Thanks peeps, really appreciate this.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
Excuse the ignorance folks - but I've tried pushing the apk on three occassions now and all times without success. The old corrupted screen still appears.

I've transferred the phone.apk to system/app/ in mounted r/w mode.:confused:

All ideas appreciated folks - I really rely on being able to access the phone screen.

Just to clarify - I've tried BOTH phone.apk files (above).
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Did it work?

If you used mine, download the one posted by Joker_Face, mine is from existz rom and could give you problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
On the build uploading now, do not report issues with the phone.apk

They are known.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
no... didn't work. :( Anyone else tried this?
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Nope didn't work, neither .apk's work. They both cause corruption still.

@twisted: we won't, cheers for the update.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
Phew... thought I got hit by the stupid stick for a mo. Cheers for confirming that. And Twisted, as always your work is appreciated!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Noticed the sensor-based orientation is enabled by default, but not the option just the feature and enabling and disabling it started it working. I think the UI is trying to render the portrait with the landcape layouts.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
Right - when in landscape the keypad appears fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The issue is not in the phone.apk at all...

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/c36d9f9ee2d11bc9ef5d0e2bf7428a95541bf9db
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
That makes sense now. Didn't really think of trying it in landscape mode before trying to re-install phone.apk.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
All fixed..
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Well played. Installed and works perfectly. Thanks mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I swore I saw that commit when I did the merge but somewhere it was lost. Oh well, I didn't have to do a thing. I like those fixes

Back to the neverending camcorder adventure. Reports from all devices seem to be 15fps or lower for stock camera.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
As always - top work Twisted! Thank you. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
Are u using a dpi lower than stock? This will cause your device to be missing
[Desire HD Android Development] ambivalent-one:
Excellent ROM! I had the phone display issue (fixed) and seem to be having a hard time maintaining GPS lock. DIsabling GPS and re-enabling fixes it for a bit while navigating. No show stoppers for me so far. Most important things for me was the camera. It works great for me so far!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
What country is your device? I can double check the configuration.
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
On the build before this one it worked OK, I have tried with various dpi just to be sure but still no luck. As I said in a previous post its not a major issue as I just put all my apps into my dropbox.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
You don't have the newest build. I modified the build.prop to try to resolve it. Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5 should be just Desire HD.
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
Ah OK the last build I have is from Sunday!

Edit - OK I didn't realise there was a new build. Will give it a go.
[Desire HD Android Development] RampageRR:
The GPS issue is definitely not isolated to this rom. The majority of GB CM7 and AOSP roms have done the same, and it seems the ICS AOSP roms are doing the same. Just a quick toggle off and then back on will be sufficient to lock GPS for the remainder of the trip.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
No reason we can't add it to the list of long-term issues that have become bug reports for current builds. Might as well catch them all
[Desire HD Android Development] RampageRR:
That works for me. Just wanted to make it known it wasn't something specific that you did or anything like that.
[Desire HD Android Development] ambivalent-one:
I'm in Canada. My provider is Telus if that matters.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Ah, it does need a configuration update then.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
GPS fix in the next build ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] cwillison94:
Can't wait for new build twisted!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
All that should be left is full stock camcorder before we casually exit beta.
[Desire HD Android Development] Nark.GA60:
For me, it's not GPS but the Navigation app. Other apps that use the GPS (such as Trapster and Strava) don't lose lock.

This has intermittently occurred on my phone for ages, definitely happened on Gingerbread roms.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Updated the list of satellites using a fix from gingerbread so it should solve it.

On a side note I think I found the stability issue with the other build. If you look at github and notice commits with notes that are submitted under the developer's name they signify that the cherry-pick failed and a manual resolution was used.

Ironically, when all parts are present and prerequisites completed, those same commits do not fail. When others pick those specific commits that were modified they often miss vital parts or fail as well but when using the original source this does not occur.

The general concept is that parts are being overlooked. This is leading to instability. Also why even a good idea that fits into the profile of this build found there is now researched first. Just a thought but reinforced by the point that the most stable builds have emerged every time a reconcile was done with a "master" source, such as AOKP or aospX / Google.
[Desire HD Android Development] Salv0:
Hey twisted! Existz fixed the issue with temple run and maybe for other games as well.it was a problem with InputReader.cpp..take a look at his changes :)

Thanks for the wonderful rom!
[Desire HD Android Development] Mahdian57:
sorry I can't read last pages, I have WiFi problem. no network discovery. I can't access any network.
[Desire HD Android Development] pecora:
there are in rom 2 Gallery.apk one must be deleted.

Also in Settings>Sound>Volumes there are two option for link volume.
[Desire HD Android Development] h3dfuk:
You need to search for networks and manually select the correct provider to get signal.

System Settings -> More (under Wireless & Networks) -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators and then select the correct network from the list (or select automatic).

You will need to do this after each phone reboot until Twisted is able to correct this in a possible future build.

If your problem is purely WiFi related, then you may need to restart your router. Not aware of any outstanding/reported issues with WiFi as this works fine. Just make sure WiFi toggle is "on" and you scan all available networks.
[Desire HD Android Development] MusikMonk:
Did you try using WiFix?

Judging by your username, I think that you're in a location where it's necessary to use it.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
This is intentional. One will be discarded once both offer the same features.

Glad to see these are the biggest concerns, though. Means I am doing something right
[Desire HD Android Development] pecora:
LOL.

I didn't get bored saying that usb tether not working even setting root app as you said and wifi tether still even, and I saw that you removed the advanced settings from the camera.

Panorama view works fine without fc.

However your rom becames more and more consistent
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
Twisted you need to get a HTC one s...
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well until you provide me with a log or some information to find the issue, I will also not get tired of saying "I don't have service, therefore I can't find a solution to not being able to tether it"

Well, after tuition payments, rent, car payments, and all that are taken care of and I can add about 4 extra hours to the day to get a job that makes enough money to spend on more than bills... then maybe. Until then, I am happy with my Thunderbolt.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
merged the touchscreen fix, cleaned up volume options, and now off to modify phone for 180 and below dpi
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
Lol just saying man..didn't know if you were due an upgrade or anything
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I have Verizon, and unless they are giving them away for free I will be on this phone a while. Besides, I don't need a quad core and that is all that has that every other phone doesn't.
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
I'm not fussed with the quad core etc or sense 4 its bollocks.the only plus point is the samoled screen...hopefully more camera features might not even get it yet lol up to Vodafone I guess even if I don't I'm not crying
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The camera you have supports all the same features they were just never coded in the builds. The libcamera has them, though.

I'll be posting test Phone.apk files shortly. Working out the layout changes to support 160 dpi
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Using the update from last night, all is running well. Just the few bugs (network not sticking etc) still present.

Camera working well, video previewing, but not recording as we know.

But camera has been reverted back to stock, no more added settings (picture quality toggle, or .raw format) Could you implement these again please? As I was getting great picture quality by adjusting the settings.

Thanks mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] pecora:
Here the logcat when i enable usb tethering.

i don't know so much... but there are a lot of errors....
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
For now they will be added later. They were the cause of a lot of build breaks.
[Desire HD Android Development] kaijura:
Can't you guys really serious about the camera buy a dslr or something?

Much more efficient, readily available,.takes pictures really fast and no shutter sound and whatnot.

Just saying, I don't expect the phone to make good shots and videos, it would make more sense to have a real camera.
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
Maybe once upon a time but lol we can't exactly walk around everwhere with our cameras in our bag..less its one of the cack ones.

I know what your saying though man..when phones didn't have them it was neither here nor there but they do now...so surely take advantage? I think the photos are really good from our phones to be honest also
[Desire HD Android Development] pecora:
For me in fact camera and camcorder aren't a primary issue. I use them ten times in 1 years...

I understand that for twisted is a gripe have a rom in which not everything works.
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Not many SLRs with silent shutters, most are quite loud, plus they aren't exactly subtle, and they're banned from most concerts etc....

Of course they're 100 times better than camera phones, but then Fixed Line telephony is usually better quality than mobile... so let's all get really long cables ;-)

Folks just like the immediacy of a camera phone (I'm an SLR user)
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Without data or camera I would have no reason to run ics at all. Might as well at least have one.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Edit: Link added into new post

Some of it was in a setup commit, some squashed with a camera overhaul, and some in various fixes throughout the history. Haven't tested it, but there it is.
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The camera on the S has different lens, and sensor, plus all the additional software (NR, longer burst modes etc)

I won't be upgrading for a while either though... wait 6 months for the MK II versions!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The different modes, bursts, and things like ZSL are kernel related features that can be supported with updates to frameworks and the camera app. A different lens is only going to really come into play with shutter speed and zoom.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Twisted, are 3rd party apps working with the camera? I ask because I'm getting crooked pics on instagram.

Thanks!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Plus 1 to that.

Just installed Instagram myself and the original camera corruption has returned.

It's a shame.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
http://d-h.st/ZBn

Raw image capture option added
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
That's messed up..lol why after all this time is the corruptions back...
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Just something to keep in mind:

If I am responsible for fixing the stock camera to do what a third-party camera can, then shouldn't you be reporting this to the makers of the third-party camera to do what the stock can?

Seems to be a lot of focus on pushing ROM developers to fix their build for applications that should actually be updating for us. This is not Gingerbread anymore. If an app that you downloaded doesn't work the same as a stock version, it's time to hit that "Contact Developer" button and let them know.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Gotcha. Not a big deal for me. App is not realy that good, it just an exact copy of the iOS app, didn't even bother to use the Holo theme.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I say that because it was reported in both threads and the other uses an older Hal so its not likely a camera issue.
[Desire HD Android Development] JoKeR_FaCe:
With the Tuesday build I have text glitches.

Gesendet von meinem Desire HD mit Tapatalk
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
How often? What are your settings? Have you modified anything? Is it a specific application? Does it go away after a refresh?

I don't want this to turn into one of the other threads for this device, so "my build haz broken" reports should all include any needed information to do something more than look at the post and go "oh, okay..."
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Not really. I believe it's an F/2 lens which essentially is a faster lens (meaning faster shutter speed for equivalent light).

I'm not terribly convinced DHD will be up to 10fps at 8MP over 2 seconds, that's a LOT of buffer and a lot of encoding to do (assuming the encoding lags behind).
[Desire HD Android Development] MrGarak:
Good post.

It's nice to have Instagram, however they didn't even try to follow the ICS design guidelines with their GUI.
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Thanks mate, this is great. Really appreciate this little addition.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
So, if I might take a moment and ask an honest question...

Are you a lawyer, politician, or some other form of official? Just seems like a lot of analysis posts that usually debate what was stated previously. I mean do what you want with your life, but it just makes me wonder...
[Desire HD Android Development] JoKeR_FaCe:
I have the glitches at system apps. I have flashed black inverted gapps. After reboot it work some seconds. Which settings you would know?

Sry for the small information, I`m not a dev.

EDIT: The most glitches are at app drawer!
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Using stock launcher? I wasn't expecting you to have the error code or anything crazy. What you provided is plenty to look into it.

By settings I meant dpi, tile rendering, stuff that may have some effect on it other than default.
[Desire HD Android Development] kaijura:
You should back up your current stuff, then wipe/format everything on your partitions. Then do a clean install and don't add anything.

No market apps, no UI enhancements, nothing at all.

Then see if you get the same problem and report it.

Each Rom developer should only be responsible for the bugs that show up in stock, but if you add random things after that it's hard to keep track if it's a problem for everyone or just something you added.
[Desire HD Android Development] JoKeR_FaCe:
I have standard settings. My launcher is nova.

After 2 hours now it work! Don't understand that. Haven't change something.

[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Sounds like it was some cache getting stuck that finally recycled. Keep an eye out though and report if it happens again. Ill keep a watch for any issues.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Is the camera 8mp or 5? I have heard of some issues with 5mp cameras getting corrupted depending what order the parameters are read.

A new version is building with some wireless changes to see if tethering is fixed. Hopefully it was a quick solution.
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
I don't think there's anyway of telling the captured image resolution. I think they're full quality though.

Using the described method above works fine, it actually benefits the app.

Using the latest build, i'm still experiencing network problems? The signal drops off every hour or so and I have to manually select it again.

Not sure if i've missed something? Is there a fix? Or is the problem still being worked out. (What even caused it, the 4.0.4 merge)
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
@twisted - do you have the link to your git? I am just getting everything set up and wanted to use your build to 'practice' on so that I can work through the basics of coding a bit better.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Github.com/theplayground
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
Thanks for that, another simple question, I am following the instructions from the github site to 'fork' the build but when it asks for the 'username/......... .git' nothing works.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and Terminal, and ideas would be great.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Did you make an SSH key?
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
Yeah made it and added it to my settings.
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:

[Desire HD Android Development] xerionn:
Reporting back regarding the Wifi hotspot. Last time i tested it I was getting hot reboots. This time it starts properly and I can connect to it but I get no access to the internet.

Not sure what info I can provide to help you so feel free to ask.
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
How do you do through the site?
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
That not the image captured size through Instagram. That the image captured size at 8mp with the stock camera.

The photos you take with instagram are around 1220 by 1220, not 8mp.
[Desire HD Android Development] pecora:
Tried the last rom:

WiFi tether stacks on activating wifi, previous rom wifi activates but no internet connection,

USB tether not works,

Camera ok, panorama ok, camcorder preview ok doesn't record.

In display>automatic backlight>light levels>edit other levels the fourth line has a -1 value in buttons that is uncheangeble.
[Desire HD Android Development] Salv0:
With the last build I have:

- No working Wi-Fi ( blocked on activating )

- No Service ( i.e. I have to manually add network )

- Camera works ok, panorama too, video open but no record.

- Phone.apk and touchscreen in Temple Run are fixed.

I'm on DHD with stock 240 dpi :)
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
What service do you have? I can add it once I know what it is.

Uploading a test for wifi and tethering. Nothing else was changed. Just wifi and tethering related.
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
I'm lost what a suprisr lol. Which build is the latest or is it the last one I was having issues with phone etc
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Uploading a new one now to post issues with.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
http://d-h.st/SIn

That may fix wifi and tethering, if not then I will come back after I am done messing with the HTC One build for Evo3d
