Great ROM

Same here, I switched from Revolution v6.3.3 to aospX just over a week and i have been totally impressed by the speed of this ROM. I only miss the stock camera's ability to focus on a particular object when taking a picture. Maybe as development progress more stability fixes and new features will be included.

Great ROM, many thanks to existz and other contributing developers! :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Existz thanks for the quick response. I can see that you take this serious. I've been watching your thread closely, and have to say your a great dev.

Also if you don't mind could you tell me what programming languages you use, as I'm interested in creating Roms, and apps for android.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dcunited08:
You can download the source and take a look at it. Most of the Rom involves python and C/C++. Android apps are written in a specific port of Java.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aasch:
I've tried downloading and applying this several times. I'm not noticing any problems as far as volume and gps in the past, but I've noticed it still says Desire HD as the model number in the phone details. Does this mean it's not flashing correctly for me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
That's correct. inspiremod is not flashing correctly for you. Try downloading it and flashing again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aasch:
Thanks. I'll try downloading the one from thedon directly :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] sahively:
HTC confirmed the ICS update is still on for the Desire HD!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I will be putting a new test build up soon (today/tomorrow).. I've set the build to fully compile with O3 (before we only used O3 on arm cflags , now arm and thumb use O3). So I want to make sure no new bugs are introduced.. I've been running it for a few hours and haven't ran into anything. But I want to put it up so more stuff gets tested. ..Also made quite a few changes to webkit, added adb over wifi, and some various other changes. Once I get everything cleaned up then ill post the new test (hopefully today)

For those that wanted Search key remapped to Recent Apps heres a flashable zip for BR4. Let me know if theres any issues.

EDIT:

Looks like Goo servers are down ATM, so ill attatch it to this post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
So you noticed it too, huh? GPS has been fantastic on BR4 btw. Best connection of any ROM to date on the Inspire. I have gone over 300 miles in 2.5 days without losing connection once on Waze GPS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As dcunited08 mentioned most of the source is C/C++, ..Android apps are usually Java and XMl..then some python here and there (but u mostly just see it used with release tools, ie scripts to package the rom, create updater-script...etc).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmikeb92:
Can anyone link me to the page with the alternate battery mod. Thought it was in op but guess not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] charge1313:
Works great! Thanks!

I already had the search key mapped to APP_SWITCH before I applied this, btw. Dunno if that made a difference.

Is there any way to remove the overclocking options?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
What's the point of that? Its baked into the rom just don't use it and leave it stock..
[HTC Inspire 4G] PDub11:
Im thinking about jumping from icecoldsandwich to this on my DHD, just a quick question, im guessing things like numeric battery % etc.. are not able to be changed as this is a pure build?

Just wondering what things are/not present compared to Lords build.

Sorry if this has been asked before but couldnt find the answer when searching.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tontondingo:
Thank you for your ROM, grace has your base I a little had fun....! look png ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Well I was on LC build and dont get me wrong it is very nice has some options like changing the battery style % color of the lock ring etc. But existz has some flashable zips that can add %. But I stuck with this for my phone because it seemed more stable able personally I love the kernel thats on this build..
[HTC Inspire 4G] PDub11:
Yeah thats one of the reasons to come to this rom, seems more stable then Lords ICS. I dont mess about with the look that much, i kinda run it stock anyway. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
I know what you mean..I really do like this set up for my taste.. I would be nice to have the option to change out the battery % with out flashing anything but eh its really no big deal. lol yeah man give it ago if you have not already its really nice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
First, are you going to provide a zip for that battery mod? Looks nice. And what launcher are you using for those icon groups you have there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iamnotagoldfish:
I'm giving the phone to someone I don't trust not to check set at boot and then change the overclock to 2ghz, which basically soft bricks the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tontondingo:
It is not a theme... LOL the Rom full customized makes more of 220Mo then no zip. Helas.

I work already with a dev on NOTE it, if he agrees and if Existz also I shall make a Rom full . But for BR moment is BR
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Test Link

Anyone have the link to the test site?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
existz usually posts a link when he posts the test builds. They're hosted on goo.im

Latest test is not up yet

(correct me if i'm wrong)
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
Existz,

Could you please clarify something. You have written before that your roms are straight aosp ics roms, obviously adjusted to run on DHD, etc.. With your roms, when USB Debugging is Off and the phone is connected to PC by the usb cable it automatically offers you the option to connect it as a mass storage device.

I am being told that ICS does not do this by default. Is this correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
existz

I wanted to say thank you for such an amazing rom. It has made me enjoy my Inspire 4G that much more. Unfortunately, my Inspire 4G ended up in approximately 12 pieces :crying: forcing my hand to get an upgrade; one that is not an Inspire 4G.

Thank you for making my hardware useful and all your hard work, it was fun while it(/my phone) lasted!

~cheers

Mine recognizes it by default and offers you the option. However I have auto mount installed which automates the whole process, as I'm my car when I plug my USB cable in the radio/headset automatically reads the microsd card as a mounted USB drive and I have my music library at my finger tips.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If USB debugging is off and u connect USB cable, it will give you the option to mount to PC by default.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyna106:
Wow wow wow. You have made it even quicker.... and I like the changes to the mms app on the look up name contact name. Nice.

Looking good so far. Will look hard for bugs for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
:) it will be even faster if we ever get 4.7 tool chain working. We had tested 12.05 version but it caused BT to fc when enabling...but 12.07 is up so I'm gonna start testing it soon and hopefully that's fixed.. 4.7 showed to boost performance in benchmarks and in real life performance, so that will be icing on the cake if all's good.

Is there an easy way to enable a "kill all" button when bringing up recent apps? Like after holding the home button?
[HTC Inspire 4G] amf66:
I flashed the B5 test today after a full wipe. Everything seems to be in order except that Play Music force closes instantly when I try to launch it. I never had this problem on any of the other betas. I searched the issue tracker and this thread, but couldn't seem to find others having this problem. Can anyone else confirm this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] J-ROCK:
I have it as well on BR4 final. It's caused by the new Google Music update.

Edit: It happens on CM7 too. Must be the app itself causing th FC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] amf66:
Strange. The latest version worked on Ice Cold and another the Desire Z AOKP port.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
I installed the updated Play Music and it FC'd. running BR-3. I suspect it's the app, seeing that others have problems too on different versions of BR. Previous versions of Play Music worked fine on the various AR and BR 1 & 3.
[HTC Inspire 4G] amf66:
I tried an earlier version of Play Music, linked to here, but it still FC's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] carlosirai:
I was having problem with my music, the name of the songs are wrong and don't show time of duration, this problem I got on BR3 and on this BR4 still having that issue I attach a screenshot

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

P.S. if I give play to those songs without duration fc the app and just fix when I wipe music app data
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Google play music is an app issue, its happening on tons of other devices (nook color, my touch 4g..etc). If you revert back to an older version make sure u clear app data and everything first.

No need for anymore reports, not much I can do until they fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
My Play Music is version 4.1.513 and it works fine on BR5 Test 1.
[HTC Inspire 4G] carlosirai:
My problems is with the music app that's is include on the rom not Google music play
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Are you sure your ID3 tags (are those still used) are no set like that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] carlosirai:
Whit all other roms no problem whit my idtag this is only problem in this from, I can play all other songs but a few shown wrong and generate de fc
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Very strange. Mine is working fine. Did you full wipe before flashing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] carlosirai:
Yes I did a full wipe, and no matter which music player I use on this rom those songs don't play but whit other roms no ploblem
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
On latest test after a full and ended up losing data in a normally full coverage area. Tried toggling airplane mode etc...Only cure was to reboot the phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] maatsby:
lol I've been wanting to use this picture for ages :) i don't how feasible a logcat of that specific issue would be :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I would try copying those songs to your SD card again, and if that doesn't work, provide a logcat of the Music app force closing. Existz can't do anything without a logcat.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Make sure its not just a network issue...and that you can trigger/reproduce it..I've been on data all day today and haven't had data drop once.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cmrune:
Ok so I just updated the play music app and it continually crashes on me. Is this happening to anyone else? If not I will have get a log when I get home to see what is up.

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Please read the last page and always check the issue tracker before posting. It is an issue with latest Google Play Music release, issue happens on various other devices after the update.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Very well may have been a network issue. Just reporting what I haven't noticed on any other release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
I have had a problem with the clock in the status bar freezing on BR4.

I have read through the thread and saw that this was a problem in some of the Alpha releases but had been fixed since moving to Beta.

Any reason this would happen again now? Has occurred three times in the last few days and only a reboot will fix it.

Otherwise the ROM runs like a dream. Thanks for your hard work, existz!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
This usually resolves itself within a few hours, without a reboot. I have not noticed this in the past few releases, but maybe I've just been lucky.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
Thanks, I also just found this as a resolved item in the issue tracker and note that existz thought it was fixed in BR4 but wasn't entirely sure due to how random it is.

Also discovered that you can fix it by toggling "Automatic Date and Time" under the "Date and Time" menu in the settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Did you do a full wipe going to BR4? The reason I ask is because there was a fix added for this (but I'm not really 100% on it since this is hard to reproduce) and sometimes without doing a full wipe the issue will continue. However, I use to get this 2-3 times a week or so, but I've been using this fix for awhile and haven't had it happen...so if u didnt do a full wipe then try that and see if it continues...if u did do a full wipe then I'll check back into this issue and see if its happening to anyone else (Who full wiped BR4), and get the ticket back open.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Perfect touch!

[HTC Inspire 4G] PDub11:
I have to take my hat off, this rom has been flawless so far. BR4.

Not sure if its a missing feature but in mobile networks, in CM7 you had an option for National Data Roaming. Is this something that can be added back?
[HTC Inspire 4G] markzero:
update: moving to this & BR4 fixed the loss of network condition. Yay :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tontondingo:
It is nice !

Put of the color , please ! The color blue of ICS is not beautiful, I prefere color flash !

You see EXISTZ, we have fun with your ROM ! THX

Hi guys, 2 questions:

1. The best performance settings to improve battery duration.

2. How to flash default battery without percentage?

Thanks, great rom!
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
1. Have your phone set for edge (2G) mode, saves a ton of battery for me and i only use my phone outside of wifi for phone calls.
[HTC Inspire 4G] linkit87:
No, only 3g
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
1. You could mess around with the governors. I usually underclock a little bit, which also helps. Governors like Conservative or Brazillianwax will use lower frequencies more often, but the smoothness of the ROM might suffer.

2. Reboot to recovery and "flash from zip". Reboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] linkit87:
Thx but which file to flash?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Battery life imo depends on the user. When I don't mess with my phone much it will last all day. When I do play with it the battery drains as it should. The battery HTC made for this device is really small and I still don't understand why they chose such a small one. (mA) If battery life is an issue just do what I did; buy one from eBay or Amazon for 6 bucks and have a spare.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Google music blows use poweramp is way better...
[HTC Inspire 4G] linkit87:
Any advice on which one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
I purchased this exact battery. Works like a charm. I even feel like it last a tad bit longer than the oem battery.

Its so convenient to just have a spare battery for a phone that already has weak battery life.

Status Bar Clock Freeze

Yes, I did do a full wipe when installing BR4. I do put a lot of apps back in (including data for some) using Titanium Backup, however, so that could be the culprit. Since I discovered the fix using the date & time settings and considering the minor inconvenience that it is, I'm not too worried about it. Thought I would bring it up in case others were having the same issue. Thanks again.

BR5 Test 1 + sound files from JB and a few other tweaks and my device is as close to perfection as its going to get. Could be placebo but sound is so much more clean and crisp. Not to mention louder!

None yet. Only had that one network issue but it was just that, a network issue. Everything is smooth as butter right now.

Alright, great! .. I'll try and get Test2 up today or tomorrow... backported a few commits from JB to Mms.apk, dalvik, libcore and a few others..and added a few new fixes to webkit for HTML5..and a few other things.

There's one little bug that's aggravating me, but I'm not sure yet if its the rom or the site...When playing a video in YouTube via browser sometimes (not all) the control slider doesn't update and you have to touch the screen once for it to start..otherwise it sets at 0:00 even though the video is playing. But once u touch the screen it updates and functions correctly. It doesn't happen all the time, but has happened on quite a few videos for me, but only on YouTube via browser, the app works fine and other sites seem to be OK.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
I am still running BR4...might switch over this weekend. I did notice that nova launcher has issues with BR4, but I dont think it has anything to do with your ROM.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] linkit87:
Can I flash stock battery br4 on br5 test?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I wouldnt recommend it, theres some SystemUI changes in BR5-Test1 thats not in the BR4 battery zip, its possible it could cause issues. The battery zip does not just replace the icons, its the whole SystemUI, so flashing it on a different build than the one it was compiled against could cause some issues (reboots, lockups..etc). Or if theres fixes just to SystemUI in the Test thats not in the BR4 zip, it would be flashing the old SystemUI over the new one and overwritting the fix
[HTC Inspire 4G] amf66:
I've been running B5-T1 and haven't had any problems in the past. I haven't had good battery life, but that is probably my year old battery rather than the ROM.
