Really impressed with 8test 2. About to download and flash test3.

Just returned from a trip. Hammered my phone to the max, 3g, music, wifi, camera constantly throughout the day and this ROM has been perfect.

Thanks to Lord and all the testers/contributors.
[Desire HD Android Development] Groschen:
Same here, was on test2 and was flashing a sense 3.5 Rom for the video cam and stability but no way i will never go back to gingerbread now. Thanks for this good Rom and developing for our device, because you are having a one x now. :thumbup:

I asked in the Q&A side but got no answer yet. I am wondering whether I can choose to input Asian languages using the standard keyboard, but I couldn't find them from "settings", "languages & input". Did I miss anything?
[Desire HD Android Development] suxelexus:
what is the best method of reinstalling apps,settings, SMS, etc after full wipe and rom update since titanium backup doesn't work properly??
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
So on BFS, your data drain your battery? Try CFS again then. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Best is to retype all again ;) heheh

But seriously, there is no best method. I could advise SQLite insert generation and then execution on the new ROM, but not all can do this, and this does guarantee a full success also probably.

Just try any other backup tools like System Tuner or MyBackup (this one has flaws, it wants to be restored on the same system, but I don't know how it's recognizing it, so I cannot tell that same ICS but upgraded will work or not).

I just did yesterday. All good. I always full wipe if that helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:
@Lord : do you have a new apn xml conf file or do I download zip file from previous post that i flashed this morning (and replace apn xmll file from zip to test 3) ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Aaron78:
Cringe, I hate full wiping and having to reset everything back up. Oh well. I will give it a try.
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
I know its a pain in the a$$ but yeah if everyone does it proper, we can proceed to getting better improvements or more bugs fixed that have been constant since day 1.
[Desire HD Android Development] Aaron78:
Very very true. I will give it a try and report.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
First, what keyboard are you using? Second, what language you select when you booted your device after flashing the ROM?
[Desire HD Android Development] Barbarians.at.the.gate:
I was using swiftkey but de-selected it and moved back to the builtin one.

When I first booted the ROM, I chose English. I want the UI to be in English but occasionally I want to type email and messages in Japanese and Korean, etc.

I remember I can do that with the builtin keyboard in the GB stock ROM. Just want to know whether I need extra language packs to be added to this ROM.

I am using 8.1 test 3.

Thanks.

2 quick things (apologies if they've been asked already)

- using the battery with the centered text right, but when I'm charging the power lightning symbol pops up UNDERNEATH the % text. Is it possible to make the battery like fill up like an animation instead of having the lightning symbol? I really like the look right now

- when cropping an image for the lockscreen it keeps getting cropped/zoomed in like crazy. I crop using QuickPic but it doesn't seem to work properly (side note, anyone know a good image editor?). As in I've made the image vertical for the lockscreen but it keeps zooming in way too much

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
I don't really Gerry what you mean but I use QuickPic too to crop. I simply click crop and select the area and hit save.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
I just checked my keyboard. I am using HTC_IME mod. In settings, go to langauge and input. Under default, you'll see a list of keyboards. The one that is checked you'll need to go to the far right and tab the settings icon. The second setting from the top (Keyboard Language) will show the available languages. Unfortunately, I don't see Korean or Japanese languages available.

You might be able to push an earlier keyboard that was available way back.... I'm not sure which build it was, probably around 4 or 5. It had a Japanese keyboard. I could try to find one for you with some of the old builds that I saved.

If not, I recommend changing your keyboard to something that supports the languages you need.
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:

[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
You can try this link. It's for a Japanese keyboard. In the meantime, I'll try and pull the keyboard app out of an earlier build.

Here you go... had to fumble around a while to get it installed. Don't know whats wrong but it'll work (at least it does on my Inspire). You might get a parsing error when installing from SD. I was emailing it to me and then installed out of the email. After 3rd try it worked. Will see when I find time to work a little more on it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
What are you actually trying to do? Make new icons for the lock screen?
[Desire HD Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Some more positive feedback toward LC's great ICS.

Tonight I was at the pub with a good friend of mine who also has a Desire HD, never rooted or flashed his phone so he's used in running the stock HTC Sense 3.0.

Let him play with my phone and his remarks were like "WTF it's so smooth" "OMG pinching pictures and in the browser is so responsive and neat" "Great difference with my device".

For anyone who doubts of flashing this rom: don't, this is just the best rom the DHD has ever had.. And (at least for me) EVERYTHING works as it should (leaving HD filming out of consideration here ofcourse), no FC's, etc.

Great stuff <3 Have been using it now for a week as daily driver, don't wanna go back to anything else :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
Just a heads up to Lord, just flashed CFS 9.7.1 no sound on temple run.

[Desire HD Android Development] RED_:
Battery life is abysmal for me. Or at least it was yesterday. I did nothing but take 2 pictures. I mean nothing too, left it on my bedside table all day. Charged it in the morning and it charged to 88% and by the end of the day it was 38%. All this from it just sitting there. I'll keep monitoring it and I'm not that bothered at them moment.

Also anyone having proximity sensor issues? I seem to be cancelling calls with my cheek now. The screen doesn't turn off. I'm now letting the call run until someone on the other end picks up before I stick it to my ear. I have the proximity sensor app so I will of course use that but just checking with everyone else really.

Otherwise everything is working fine. I'm on whatever kernel came with the latest flash and I no sound problems or anything. Maybe just luck of the draw.

yes, in the settings. God knows where but have a look around and you'll find it. Look at the changelog, it mentions the addition of the new feature, being able to change between the two.

is a full wipe recomended, when i upgrade from Ice Cold Sandwich 6.1 to Ice Cold Sandwich 8.0?

other Question, during the first Boot, i saw

and than it counts 180 Apps up that they will be Optimised, what habbens there?

did the apps only delete Cache or what means this?
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:
Full wipe is always recommanded !!

About optimization of apps, it occurs when dalvik cache is cleared.
[Desire HD Android Development] adanoss:
I've sent it from freshly installed existz's ROM, not a single apn list or app, pushed to IceColdSandwich) btw, where can I find this "apn list" inside the rom?:rolleyes: on the phone or in the ZIP)

P.S. didn't catch the idea of the question at 1st glance) answer is "no" I haven't tried to use them in your ROM.

I am using the current 8.0 bfs and to be honest it is a good rom BUT the reception is very poor .ie grey bars or one blue bar in places that i used to have 3 and 4 blue bars.. any ideas??
[Desire HD Android Development] fallenkirmit:
@Nishka - Reception has to do with the radio version you are using so if you are already getting good reception, you will get the same reception you do currently. I am in Canada and this is BY FAR the best rom I have ever flashed hands down!

take a look here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295&highlight=radio , look for radios that are made for USA, and btw I think you should know that flashing radios is not usually recommended, it could easily break your phone if something goes wrong, so careful there ( just a thought )
[Desire HD Android Development] Reinaldo33897:
How are you installing them, tried all three and they fc.
[Desire HD Android Development] Shonan_:
if i remember right Rils only need to be matched for sense roms,

RIL - RADIO INTERFACE LIBRARIES

What is a RIL? Quoted from jkoljo's [RIL] Radio Interface Libraries thread: RIL is a library that acts as a bridge between your device's phone functions and the radio firmware in your device's communications chip (radio). Matching radio and RIL is always a good combination when you think of signal stability and battery consumption. That is why you should flash a matching RIL when you flash a new radio.

Flashing RILs only work for Sense based ROMs and CM7 ROMs > nightly built 57. ATM MIUI doesn't support HTC RILs.
[Desire HD Android Development] claude96:
just put the PD981mg on the root of your SD card press power button, choose bootloader ( or turn your phone off, hold volume down button press power button, wait untill phone is up, look for bootloader press volume up or down to highlight it, press power button soft touch ), once in bootloader it will look for PD981mg and start install, rill are usually flashed like the roms, hope this help !

[Desire HD Android Development] Galaen:
It kind of doesn't matter, I believe. Try the 10.04.03 radio. I have had great luck with it, as have others. But some prefer others. I don't remember if it is in the Inspire or Desire radio thread. And don't worry about the ril. Give it several hours to see how it works. I usually give it a day, but I don't think it has to be that long.

I couldnt make the logcat very precise. I hope this helps

[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
Well guess what? I just did yesterday. Played with different radio and I might have tweak something from the ROM and Wi-Fi didn't work at all. It won't turn on. No biggie, give me a chance to flash different radios. At the end of the day after testing a few different radios and eventually the latest G-ril on gb and I'm back. Wi-Fi issue still around so I simply reflash the ROM again. Good to go. Everything is back as it is

Alright so I want to pick a lock-screen picture right, when you select a picture you get a chance to crop your picture before saving it. Firstly I crop the picture to what I want but then when I actually have a look at it by locking-unlocking the phone, the picture is zoomed in a lot closer than where I had cropped it to
[Desire HD Android Development] coolshot71:
I confirm the same issue, on 8.1 test 3 build (and 8.0 SoB).

Here as well, done a full wipe 'n format but the phone crashes when

mobile data is lost for some reason while tethering (i tested USB and WIFI, not bluetooth)

I hope to see this fixed, i love this rom but i can't use it with this issue so i had to revert to MIUI (i use tethering a lot as i travel on a train and i need to work online)

[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
Since u mention travel and you need tethering or hotspot, is your data roaming on?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Well, there are many things to concern.

1. the pixels that you are using. For lockscreen icons, a good size is is 128 pixels by 128 pixels.

2. Be sure to save it as a .png file

3. After, transfer to SD card and when you change your icon, use gallery command to open it.

4. Crop to the most outside edges. That way the entire icon will appear.

If you use Photoshop CS series (5 is what I use), you can change colour, size, and so on.

This should do the trick. I'll attach a few screen shots that you can use as a reference
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Lockscreen icons with #b87900 brown
[Desire HD Android Development] coolshot71:

[Desire HD Android Development] Insecret:
How can I replace the icons ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
First add your icons to the SC Card. Go to settings/rom control/lockscreen options/ lock screen style

Choose the style you want.

Exit lock screen style and scroll down to the bottom. You can select which lock screen icons you want. Tap the icon and you can choose your icon that you placed in the SC card

I flashed radio 26.13.04.19_M (was originally on 26.14...) yesterday just after a full charge, I hammered the phone with movies & games... esp zenonia 4 on my 90 minute commute from work to home.

I noticed I still had 87% despite its intensive use... so i carried on rinsing zenonia 4 on it till i fell asleep...

...woke up this morning and found I've forgotten to pop the phone on charge last night... AND the phone was still PAUSED on the game.. =_= However, I saw I still had 55% even after the hammering it took last night!

So I got on with my usual morning commute to work... with my DHD playing poweramp... and the occasional exchange/gmail checks... as well as a couple of zenonia 4 playthroughs...

...by the time i got to work... it was still on 38%!!! >_< hahaha!

So I can officially concur with your assessment that the radio 26.13.04.19_M on my DHD (recent model with GB sense 3.0 initially shipped & bootloader dated sept 2011, used AAHK to downgrade & root+unlock+flash their ENG-HBOOT btw) ...on UK Orange/T-Mobile with IceColdSandwich 8.1 test 3 using the ROM's stock 9.8.2 BFS kernel.

The battery will last well over 24 hours EVEN WITH INTENSIVE USE! >_<

I was on 26.14.04.28_M previously... and it almost always needs charging mid-day due to my heavy usage of the phone.. But I assumed it was the norm with the DHD in general... so I never saw it as an issue.

So a very BIG thank you to you Lord, not only for the continued support of this exceptional ROM, but for this radio recommendation... very rare for a dev to give tbh.. since like a lot of users stated, ALL RADIO VERSIONS WILL ALWAYS REACT DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS, COUNTRIES & NETWORKS

I guess I just got lucky with your suggestion... ^_~

...see my post above regarding battery... ^_~

& yes, I always needed the proximity recalibrator, but only on the initial flash of the rom (proximity recalibrator kept its settings after multiple 'dirty' flashovers of new ICS test versions)... no accidental phonecall drops after proper recalibration thereafter... ^_~
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Depends on your launcher. If you are using Apex that comes with this ROM, all you need to do is long press on the icon you want to change. After, you'll get a command to remove, edit, App info, or share. Select the Edit option. Under edit, you'll see your icon and the icon name. Press the icon and after select picture. From there you can choose the icon you want.
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Big Thank You for the extensive review :) and of course thanks to Lord Clockan for suggesting that in the first place.

First of all I just want to say this is an amazing release and I love it!

Recently I upgraded from v7.2 => v8.0 SoB edition. I noticed that my battery gets rinsed out much quicker in v8.0 than it did in v7.2 . Is this a common problem?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
First of all, you should read the thread. If battery is draining quicker, flash the latest BFS or CFS kernel.
