[HTC Inspire 4G] allstar21369:
Forgive me in advance if this information is either already widely known or irrelevant but I wanted to share a few things I may have figured out regarding the camera glitches/bugs with the Inspire ICS ROM...

I have been using this rom for a while and have tried all of the suggest cameras (Angel Camera, Pudding Camera, etc...) eventually settling on Camera ICS+. It seems that no matter what I do any pictures I try to take in portrait mode are glitched at the top. I'm not sure if anyone else is ever able to get a normal picture out of portrait mode but I am not (except for using "Normal Mode" on Angel Camera).

The major factor I've come to notice that affects whether or not I'll encounter the glitch has to do with the last app I had opened... and whether or not it causes the screen to resize wrong... or something. I don't understand how Android works well enough to explain it properly but I could give an example so that others can verify and/or make sure they will be taking a glitch-less picture...

If I open an app like Angry Birds, an app that takes up the whole screen (though not all cause the glitch) and once it's up and running I hit back until it asks if I'd like to close it and I say 'yes'. As soon as it gets back to my home screens the top of my screen is just slightly off the screen, but it quickly sizes itself properly and then is displayed correctly. I took a few snapshots to illustrate what I mean...

The last two panels show how my home screen is just slightly too big, but quickly fixes itself in the last panel...

SO... when this is the case, and then I open any camera app and take a picture (with or without flash and in landscape mode) I am fairly certain I will always get the glitch... Anytime I open up my camera app to take a picture AFTER closing an app that needs to resize my home screen I will glitch. Now, if I open an app like the Market or something and then press back until I arrive at my home screens and there is no resize, I can open up any of my camera apps, take a picture, and it will be glitch free. Also, I can usually just turn my phone to portrait mode, then back back landscape (with no resizing of the home screens) and this will allow glitch free pictures if I open the camera app next.

Hope I explained all of that well enough and that maybe it helps somebody out there...

K, kool new here just wanted make sure not known issue, didn't see it in your known issue thread . Hasn't happen since, thank u
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Just tried this as you describe and can't reproduce it consistently ... at least on ice cold sandwich. :o
[HTC Inspire 4G] allstar21369:
Really? I should note I'm running aospX 1.0.0-AR23. I tried taking a ton of pictures and the only inconsistency was that sometimes even with a resize the pictures came out okay. Also, I have my LCD density set at the standard 240.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Ya my setup is probably too different ... dpi is 225 and am on an AOKP based rom instead of AOSP...
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Mic with new audio libs

@existz

Saw this in the Ice Cold sandwich thread and thought I'd point it out in case it would be of assistance to you on getting mic working with new libs...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Correct, just means that it will be easier to get qcom updates (as of right now just for display HAL), but im currently working on getting alot more in line with CAF. That way we dont have to rely on CM for hardware/qcom/display updates.

Yea, seen that awhile back... Me and LC have been working together tirelessly trying to get these to work, but still no luck.. This is one of the reasons why im trying to get as much as i can in line with CAF, just incase theres something we are missing.. But theres a couple more things that im going to try, hopefully we get it going soon
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Well, bad news.... my screen ended up getting busted today on my Inspire....so, I'm going to see what I can do to fix it, hopefully I can get it working... its starting to come on so I'm hoping its usable.. :( so im not sure what I'm going to do yet in terms of aospX..if I'm without a device there wont be much I can do. I'm going to try looking into getting a replacement screen, but not sure how that will go either

Existz - Inspire digitizer for $25. Not sure if that's a good price though.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Insurance? I know my replacement cost is 125 with it, which is ridiculous...

125 divided by 5 is 25

I Think We Can Get 25 people to donate 5...

Im in for 5!

Post your response to the save the aospx fund! Come on guys, this is when we get together as a community! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT... this will directly effect aospx and ascension.
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
I recall someone saying they paid $50 total to have their screen replaced so the price isn't like it used to be when it was a $150+ repair at least.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Thanks, thats not a bad price...wished they had it in stock :( ... Def gonna look into getting a new one though

Last time I tried was when I had the original iPhone and the process didn't go to well lol.. but that was 1) 4-5yrs ago and 2) that was an iPhone..so lol.. So I'm hoping its not to bad on an inspire.. I'll def at least attempt it though, don't have anything to lose.. plus I've really grown attatched to my inspire, I would hate to give it an early retirement ..
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Yeah would hate to see that man. Well here is a deal. You buy me a nexus or note and ill give you my inspire...deal??

Amazon has it for 30. I replaced my moms mytouch4g screen fairly easy but my advice is gets some extra adhesive. I tried to reuse what was on the old one. While I got it back together, it didn't fit very snug and feels a little mushy when pressure is applied lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] gallogj:
Yeah...I did it once on my iphone 3GS...this process looks similar.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
I definitely got 5 on it, hell I'll do more if needed this rom is my daily driver I can't imagine not using anymore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Yayodroid:
digitizer or lcd? actually i think its best to do a fused one together really because i ended busting an inspire lcd when i was trying to just change the digitizer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
So sorry to hear that existz! I had a regular Desire before I got the Desire HD and the motherboard died on me, believe me I cried when it happened. Luckily it was still under warranty and had it replaced for free. I can only imagine how it feels to have to pay extra bucks to have something repaired.

I'm just so angry with PayPal for keeping my country on the blacklist and not allowing us to use it, I'll do my best and contact some of my friends abroad and try to make a donation through them. We can't let you stay without your phone and we can't abandon our beloved aospX...

[HTC Inspire 4G] m177er:
I really hope you can continue working on this ROM. I really appreciate all your hard work.

Donation sent ($20).
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Thank you :) and to those who else who have donated, its greatly appreciated and helps out a lot! You guys are great!

I'll hopefully have next release up tomorrow (as i already had most of it done before today anyways) .. but I don't know how long before I'll be able to start testing things again.. I'll still try to add the trivial things that I know don't need testing, but I'm guessing it will be at least a week or longer before I'm able to get the screen fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
I remember you said it didn't work but I never had a problem with usb tethering....been using it for days too....tethered at the moment...tried it both using native method and wired-tether 1.4 apk and both worked fine? Does it matter that I'm on linux vs windows?

Also I'm still curious if you code for a living...I'm assuming my previous post asking this got lost in the shuffle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I wouldnt think that it would have mattered.., on linux for me it would connect but no internet, but with the new fix in AR24, it now works fine for me.. But atleast it was working before :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
For those who are curious, heres the damage done today :*(

If the repair costs more than $75 (and that includes having an "expert" do the grunt work) I'd look at grabbing another phone. I picked up my Inspire from Cowboom for $130...refurb and it didn't come with a charger but other than that has worked great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Aha!! Finally a fix for my missing pix in gallery, I knew it had to be a bug
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
$20 Donation sent. Sorry it took so long, but shortly after my last post my new 'puter parts showed up and I just couldn't wait to play with them. :D I'm like a kid on Xmas, a 35 year old kid but a kid none the less.

If you need any help testing between now and when you get your phone fixed I'll be happy to help in any way I can.

Anyone using es file explorer with a non standard dpi on this rom? It FC's on me unless I set the dpi back to 240...my other 2 devices both run es file explorer fine with non standard dpi so I'm confused.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Mother of God that is one hell of a crack! It's so sad to see this beauty having a crack like this... :(

I'm waiting for some of my friends that live abroad to come online to sort a donation ASAP. So sorry, but it might take me a while :mad:

$5 donation from me thanks for all your hard work ex
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
All who are helping us(inspire/desire community) by donating are above and beyond, even those who are providing support options and whatnot are helping to lessen the impact of such a devastating blow:(.

My donation will be in shortly, im on the phone with PayPal as I type this... for 41 mins so far...

Screwy account issues since the last time someone sent me money on the first.

You can count on it though... Its inevitable!!! You are getting 5 from me SOON(today) wish I could afford more :(

Thank you for all your hard work E!!! I appreciate it.;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lufis:
$5 from me as well. I had the exact same thing (but bigger!) happen to me a while back. Here's to a speedy recovery (or new phone altogether). :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You guys are seriously the greatest, this will def help getting this fixed or replaced... I can't thank you all enough. This is what makes these forums great, not just the talented work from the devs, but the great loyal support from the users. Again, thank you to everyone who has donated. I'll have a release up sometime today, luckily I already had most of it done and tested, so i should have it up pretty soon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marcbsmoove:
Just a curious question on usb tethering. I got a letter from Att about using my tethering without a tether plan and they threatened to cut my unlimited plan if further used. Does this ROM bypasses this? Or is there some kind of work around for this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I know ATT cracked down on this awhile back, (HERE) and that they requested Google to remove apps that masked this be removed from the Market.. But i know apps like PDANet use to have the feature to mask it, but im unaware of any recent apps/hacks ..someone else with personal knowledge of this will have to post something..
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
I'm pretty sure Koush released an app that bypasses any detection. I don't remember if its called Clockwork Tether or something similar. I think it was kicked out of the market, you'll find it if you search Google.

msm7x30-common: Updated Camera HAL from Twisted (Panaroma)

Changes to MediaProvider fixing missing media in apps (ie. Gallery)

NOTE:

There were some Camera changes which kind of fixed Panaroma mode, but since more updates from Twisted were added and it seems not to function like it did, it might still show the yellow screen at first when selecting Panaroma mode, and it may be choppy (atleast it was for me on stock app, but your milage may differ) This is no where near complete, alot of stuff is still being done with the Camera, so there WILL be bugs.etc..and it might not function correctly..So please NO bug reports regarding Camera.

Also, if you have any other issues, 1) please check the Issue Tracker BEFORE posting..and 2) please make sure you are able to reproduce it after doing a clean flash (wipe data/factory reset) without any apps or data restored..and 3) please provide a logcat output of the issue..Info for all of this can be found by clicking the "Issues" tab on the google code site

I'm going to switch over to your rom but may I ask why is it so much slimmer (30mb) than lordclockans aokp roms?

My life is cool...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
He includes a lot more apps on install (ie Torch, RomControl..etc), he also has a lot of options to framework, systemui, settings...etc.. All that adds up.. they are 2 total different roms. This is a somewhat (with some tweaks, but a lot of optimizations) bare bones aosp rom, so it doesn't include a lot of extra bells and whistles.

All those extra pngs added for all those various addons and tweaks ..etc add up, I just removed a few from the launcher the other day and saved 5.2mb.. so all that little stuff adds up...even just the pngs for notification pull down, the icons in settings...etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
@jay

That's easy there's no add ons like weather, rom control, yadda yadda.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Youngunn is right. This being aosp will not have those annoying extras. Many weather apps in the market will do you better. (Like beweather :thumbup: )

I finally changed ROM's after using Inspired ACE forever.. Anyway, I was expecting the phone to download my saved settings(wifi passwords) and install apps automatically, and it didn't. Can someone explain why?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BeGrateful:
Is the inspired ace HTC based? Cause HTC sense is a buzz kill about saving contacts wifi passwords and others.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Because when you do a factory reset/data wipe it wipes all those settings out. But you have to do this if coming from another rom, even more of a reason if coming from anything other than ICS (but this is also required even coming from another ics rom).. There's some stuff (contacts ..etc) that can be backed up via Google server, under accounts and sync... But as far as apps..etc go, you would have to back them up with a 3rd party, such as Titanium backup ..(NEVER restore any system data) even restoring some app data can cause issues (especially if made on gingerbread rom), So the rom itself does not do any of this for you when you do a data wipe...However, if you go from an aospX build to another (say AR23-AR24) a data wipe is not required and you can just flash and go...in that case nothing is wiped and all your settings and apps..etc are saved
[HTC Inspire 4G] radcpuman:
My bad. I thought when I flashed from the stock ATT to Inspired Ace that the apps auto installed. Not a huge deal, gives me a chance to get rid of apps I don't really need.

Thanks for the education.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea, basically anything besides normal voice calls. For some reason with the new qcom audio libs mic does not work in any app. Which using the old libs seems to fix this, but it breaks other things...so your just trading off 1 for another (or more).., plus the new libs are the ones being developed currently, so hopefully it wont be much longer till issue is resolved

[HTC Inspire 4G] skaroger867:
just flashed to 14 from 13 and everything seems good so far (even my sixaxiscontroller, could have been an app problem cause i always turn it off manually now instead of letting the app do it and i can still use Bluetooth after with no problem)

also on a side note i was wondering how to change the number of home screens, i want to take some of them out. i know when i had my tmobile dash all i had to do was edit a file to add or remove panels from he home screen, so im hoping there is something similar i can do to make less screens

I just flashed this ROM and I thought I'd let you all know that this is the best ICS ROM that I've used. Way better than Quattro and LordClockan's ROM. Battery life is excelent too
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
OK, so I got percentage added to stock battery... but my ocd is kicking in, I've got 2 different sets of icons... 1 are centered in the middle real good but are slightly to the left (most ppl probably wouldn't notice but its killing me).. also its only with certain numbers..., then 2 is centered left/right real good but is a little higher than being centered in the middle. So... if anyone knows where a good set of stock ics battery icons are with percentage, that's evenly centered left/right and centered in the middle, please let me know :P.. I've used the icons from codenamedroid and the ones in Lords thread (these are 2 mentioned above)..
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmiusa02:
So is this TRUE ICS 4.0 or just THEMED Gingerbread. Just want to make sure before i go and flash this. Looks nice BTW.
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
I like centered
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
The is pure as can be for now AOSP ICS 4.0.3. Reading the description in the OP will let you know all the details. Existz put alot of work in this ROM as well as the other developers to get this thing together. Also seeing how it says "[ROM]" in the thread title should be a dead give away.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Finally just found a set that im happy with, centered in the middle and left/right :) so ill have it in next release (hopefully get it up to today or tomorrow)

Ive also added option to disable bootanimation (faster boot time) by just editing a build.prop settings, just change the 0 to 1 if you want to disable it.. (its under the setting that says Enable/Disable bootanimation) :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hello_Robert:
Well the camera doesn't work as of yet. I got the pudding camera in market, it works. But not the on board camera app...

This is a sweet ROM!

Looking forward to the next update.:cool:

[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
Don't want to be picky, but can the font for batter % be larger? Maybe I'm just getting old!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
This icon set is the only set i could find thats correctly centered horizontal and vertically.., there was another set I had found that was just a tad bigger, but was offset to the left some. But im always open to changes, if you can find a good set thats evenly spaced left/right and centered in the middle id be more than happy to add them (Or if you want to manually edit each 1-100 images :P)

But ill still keep looking for a better set, im not dead set on the current ones or anything..so.. dont care to change them as long as they are centered and is the percentage on stock battery
