Managed to read most of the thread now. Does anyone know if Smitty's GenX ICS Battery mod, GenXAR17.zip, will work on AR19? The quotes above lead me to believe that it will not work because of changes to SystemUI, but hoping someone could confirm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Haven't tried, but you could do a backup and try it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MmmmBeeeeer:
Just flashed today, and I agree. Great work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
@existz

Are those new camera libs making any difference in your testing so far?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Ah, not really.... Atleast consistently .. But im able to use 3rd party apps (Camera360, Angel Cam, lgCamera..etc) and all gives flawless results shooting in landscape and portrait (where before only in portrait with certain apps)... But harpo1 reports about the same results as before (hes running build compiled from my git).. So it still looks to be hit or miss depending on the device and/or app used.

Can Someone Post the Download Link for the Release Canditate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
This is an Alpha build and the links are in the OP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] asalian:
Download Link

And by OP you mean What exactly?? Sorry im new to this
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Original Post (The first post of this thread). Click on where it says Downloads Hosted by Google Code. Once there click on the download tab.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
OK, ill have to try it out when u release the next build. So far pudding cam is the only UI I like besides stock, some of these camera apps are atrocious. o_O
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Ah, you must be a designer or something. I know exactly whereof you speak. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Haha, yes I have technology ocd too. Its gotta look nice :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
So I got a little bored and moved some things around in Settings... the Performance header is now AXControl header with Performance as a sub menu (http://berryfx.com/RobBeane/Files/Screenshot5.png) ...then made a new category in Performance for System tweaks, adding option to disable boot animation (http://berryfx.com/RobBeane/Files/Screenshot2.png) ... I'll start putting things here that really don't fit anywhere else.. But I've got Volume Wake added to Display now... both will be in next release
[HTC Inspire 4G] bloodydeath911:
Like is it any faster? Or what exactly?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
You the man.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Is what faster? If your meaning the disable boot animation giving faster boot time, the option is already in aospx but as a build prop setting, you can edit it with 0 or 1 to enable/disable right now ..I just added the option in settings for quicker access to enable/disable. But yea it cuts boot time down by a tad bit ...nothing drastic though...

But the point of the changes were to clean up things some and to reorganize things that really didn't have a spot in all the other sub menus and for future system tweaks that might get added
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Having consistent issues, gonna re download and refresh tomorrow
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I have a feature request, could you add a system volume slider in volume settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tenseconddelay:
Installed this in boot manager and used it all day. I was running ar18 but had trouble with HW acceleration. But with boot manager I can reboot back to gingerbeast for my droidtv needs.

Keep up the great work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Is anyone else having font, wifi switching, and multitasking issues with this build
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjs87:
I'm not. But I did have an issue with data connection in this latest build which never happened in the previous versions. It would work just fine for maybe 30 minutes to an hour. After that, when I try to load a web page, I would just get tje "page loading" symbol and the blue loading bar will just stay in one spot. Rebooting the phone will temporarily fix it, but it would just happen again around the same time. This also happens when connected to wifi.

Inspiremod was flashed. Other than that, nothing else was change from the stock rom settings related to the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Flashed this yesterday evening while at home. I did a complete wipe, flashed the rom, the Inspire zip, and everything was working good. However, I was on wifi at the time. Now, this morning, I am away from home and have found data not to be working. The apn that comes with the rom does not work for me. So, I tried adding the two stock apns that usually work the best for me and those don't work neither. Any suggestions? I would really like to get data working. Other than this, this rom is really nice for an alpha release. I'm loving the look and feel of it, but I need working data. Props to the dev for some great work going on here.

Edit: When I check mobile network type, I get "HSDPA:9". I have never seen it with the ":9" behind it. Could this be part of the problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
The ics q/a has a recommendation, otherwise the stock apn works in ar18.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Data working fine for me on att...

As always, did you full wipe? Wipe again reinstall and verify apn settings ...
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Yes, I always do a full wipe, even with updates. I'm using the same radio as you. One of the first things I always do is flash the matching ril. I notice in your sig that you are using what I assume is the ril that comes with the rom. Is it not recommended to change ril? I'm going to try flashing again.

Edit: Reflashing did the trick!! Excellent data speeds too!! Either flashing while on my microcell or changing the radio ril may have caused the issue. Either way, I am going to stick with the ril that comes with the rom. Thanks for the reply.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dprolyfic1:
+1 everyone pay attention Full Wipe = Clean Install
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
I don't have a single issue with AR19, everything working perfectly, and I didn't even do a full wipe when coming from AR18, just cleaned cache and dalvik cache...

Even if you did install it with a full wipe maybe you just got a bad flash, that's all.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Yeah, me too :D. Guess it comes with the territory :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Ya technically the matching ril for this radio is a HTC sense only ril. The one I'm using I've been using for a while now, is the aosp ril. This one and 2.2.0018g, have always worked well on aosp and cm roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
existz...something funky here. I was having issues with data connection with the apn setting that came with the rom. I would sometimes lose connectivity while still connected, just can't download or upload anything. but everything seems to be okay after I played around with the apn settings, I did he dual apn thing. I'm happy again. I'm on ar19.

any reason why you ship with single but not dual apn? just being curious
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Never had an issue with the stock ones, nor did private testers... You on ATT?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rdw55a:
Mine also says HSDPA:9 and works just fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
my inspire hangs if i over clock to 1574mhz, anyone else noticed this?

BTW i just installed it today
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Not all phones are equal (meaning they all do not OC the same), so anything you can get over stock speeds is just extra benefits.. Some can handle 1.5+, some can only do 1.2ghz.. Voltages also play a role in this.., and this is the same rule, some phones need more voltages, while others need less.. Not 2 phones are the same and anything over 1ghz (stock speeds) is just extra you should have had in the first place..

Also, this can vary from rom to rom and from kernel to kernel.. The CPU governor will make a difference in how stable things are. Some governors are tuned to scale higher faster (meaning it uses the higher clocks more), some are tuned differently.. You can use something like CPU Spy to see which states are used the most with different governors (ie. if it uses the higher states more often, then more load is being put on the CPU, making it where things have to be more stable..., if a governor uses the low-mid range more and doesnt scale to max clock as quickly, then you can get away with things being a little less stable
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Not every phone can take the same amount of overclocking, it's really up to the device. Some CPUs handle overclocking better than others and can go even higher. My advice is if it hangs, go lower in order not to damage your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
i had CM7 before this and i could go upto 1600mhz and my phone worked fine

Edit: BTW i just tried the settings before 1574, and it worked,,, thanks.. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
yes. I'm on att, in New Jersey. maybe its just me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Roger that!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As i mentioned above, this will vary from rom to rom and from kernel to kernel (some rom/kernels are tuned differently, (ie I use alot of compiler flags/options that are tuned for ARM, so this can change things... its not about it being stable/unstable, its about how stable it is.. the governor plays a role in this also..so when you take all these things into account, it can change things and make it where it has to be really stable..

To disable search bar, from homescreen hit Menu->Preferences->Homescreen->Search Bar
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
while on home screen. menu->preferences->homescreen-> uncheck "search bar" (3 rd option down)
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Got you!

lol... didn't even thought about going there. (i feel soo dumb)

BTW good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Can you post the apns you are using and I'll do some testing here pretty soon and see if I can figure something out
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
BTW this is an off topic question..

i use att prepaid plan. When i bought this plan my data was working then after 2 weeks it stopped, i called CS and they said its because you are using a 4G device. Prepaid data plans are not for 3G or 4G devices...

But why it worked for the first 2 weeks? i'm sure there must be a way to fool them that we are not using 3G or 4G device (i don't care about the speeds),

any idea?

It may just be att because I've been having the issue I on both my phones. Although changing to this setup above has slightly helped. Also xda has been almost unusable unless on wifi (although I suspect this may be part of the site being overloaded) im on long island an hour outside nyc
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Existz, after more testing I got the modded version of deskclock working. It includes the stopwatch mod, very nice. I take no credit for it, just reposting from ice cold sandwich.

Here's a download.

Deskclock.apk w/stopwatch

Screenies :
[HTC Inspire 4G] MmmmBeeeeer:
How do I install that apk? I tried but it wouldn't let me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bloodydeath911:
No I was wondering the difference between this and Lord ClockaNs version and someone said it was more stable, so I was wondering if that means that its faster in any way
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Stable doesn't equal speedier. The launcher is smoother than ice cold IMHO. And not as much stuff tinkering with, no random reboot due to 8 way lockscreen, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Must push to system/app and fix permissions, overwriting the existing deskclock apk, I'd first make a copy of existing one and rename it old or something.

my inspire doesn't wakes up after screen lock :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If your overclocking/undervolting, then reset it back to stock values..
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
yeah i guess its something with the kernel or the Governer..

now im in performance mode at 1344, working fine!

what scaling mode are you using/would recommend with this kernel?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
The default, Smartass2.. it gives best performance/battery life ratio.., and IMO smoothest
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
screen doesn't wakes up with smartass2
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Even at stock frequency/voltages? Because Ive used Smartass2 governor as default on this kernel (TalonACE) for quite awhile (months actually), and have had no issues (both gingerbread version and ICS version...both are the same just updated touchscreen driver..etc..for ICS).. If it works fine at stock freq/voltages, I cannot support anything higher...as its only specific to your device and requires fine tuning of max frequency/voltages for your device only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
the waking up process takes a lot of CPU.

if i increase cpu max and decrease cpu min, it doesn't wakes up!

if i decrease cpu max and increase cpu min, it works.

i've tried Performance, smartass2, and ondemand.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

right now my kernel is: 2.6.35.14-aospX-cheesecake
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Well, if its even doing it at stock frequency/voltage, I would recommend to do a full clean wipe and see if it does it on a clean install (without installing any apps, restoring app data..etc...etc..) and at stock frequency/voltage, because there are some apps/processes that can cause weird behavior.. Out of a few hundred dloads this is the first/only report, so its something specifically going on with your device or unstable cpu frequency/voltages..

And yes, thats the default kernel (its my TalonACE kernel but only for ICS, I havent released it as "TalonACE" yet
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
its fixed now, i just increased cpu min and its working fine...

So you mean that this built-in kernel and TalonACE kernel are same, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Correct.., the default kernel is built off the same source I use for TalonACE kernel, but its just updated for ICS (touchscreen, video drivers..etc..etc to work with ICS)
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
cool... i Overclocked my phone to 1500 max and 256 min, ondemand on CM7 and i never had any problem.... so it's not my phone's hardware i guess.......

But still this ROM is best soo far... im gonna stick with it :P

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
The screenshot you included shows a known bug. Either reboot your phone or kill the app that's in foreground when that happens. You'll have to enable the "Back" button to kill on long press. It's in Settings -> Development.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As I said earlier, just because it ran that on one rom it doesnt mean its going to run that on another..it will vary from rom to rom and kernel to kernel, all depending on how the rom/kernel is tweaked... As i mentinoned I use alot of compiler optimizations for CPU/ARM, giving more raw cpu power, so things are going to have to be alot more stable than it was on a rom/kernel that does not have these. With these optimizations and more raw cpu power, its going to push the cpu a little harder, so your going to get better results with lower speeds (ie aospX might give better cpu/floating point results at 1.3ghz than say CM7 at 1.5ghz, because its using more raw cpu power.., pushing the cpu more is going to require it to be more stable though.. And again, the governor is going to play a role in this... some governor will scale quicker to the higher frequencies, and might spend more time at those frequencies, so your higher steps are going to have to be more stable also... You can compare this is CPU Spy with different governors, for example Ondemand might spend more time at the mid range frequencies and not a whole lot at max clock, where as Smartass2 will scale higher quicker, spending more time at higher steps..so those have to end up being more stable than what it would be on Ondemand.. You could even run CM7 with Ondemand and it be stable, but switch to Smartass2 on CM and it not be stable... It all depends on HOW stable things are. So just because you ran it on CM7, doesnt matter at all how its going to run on this...the CPU runs totally different.

Also about the jumbled text, please read the Issue tracker before posting issues.

[HTC Inspire 4G] m177er:
Tried it didn't seem to be any ill effects but went to the backup since framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk are both modified when flashing the zip. They would have been taken from the AR17 version, so I'll wait for an update if there is one.

-------------------------------------

Does anyone know if the auto-brightness / backlight levels are are in an easily accessible file? I'd like to lower the lower values. Not complaining, the auto-brightness works great, I just feel that the lowest value could be lower when I'm using the phone in bed in the dark. Turning off auto-brightness and putting the slider all the way to the bottom is still a little too bright.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
That would be great...
[HTC Inspire 4G] anetam:
What does this RAW CPU power mean concerning the lifetime of the chip? Isn't it killing it faster than it should?

Sorry, total noob here :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
No not really.., i mean yea its using the cpu a little more than a stock rom/kernel, but its not going to be anything that will hurt it.. or any degrading that will ever effect the phone during the time you own it... This isnt something Ive just came up with myself or just some untested changes, these changes are taking from official Linaro git (using Linaro Android toolchain optimized for ARM targets, compiler flags and optimizations, and ARM/NEON optimizations to bionic, libpng, libagl, libpixelflinger..etc..etc)

I'm not sure there is a recommended radio as what's best varies in different regions ... I personally get the best results with the radio/ril in my sig...

[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
So file this in the "its a feature not a bug" category, I suppose:

The gallery app is excruciatingly slow to rebuild its folders and cache etc. I moved some folders of pictures around on my SD card and it took like 30 minutes for it to reflect those changes in the gallery app... quickpic is instantaneous. This is of course after I had cleared app data and rebooted multiple times. I'm not sure if this is normal or not?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Groschen:
Hey existz, want to install your launcher in lords rom. But still keeping parsing error when install. When i remove trebuchet and copy your launcher into then i have no launcher :( And when i reboot then i keeping random reboots. Any idea what is wrong with your launcher?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Just because you couldn't get it to work on another ROM, that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with this launcher. This launcher is perfectly fine and IMO even smoother than Trebuchet when it comes to swiping through screens and stuff, it just isn't built to work on other ROMs. If I'm not mistaken this is even the stock Google launcher, just tweaked with few extra setting options from our great dev here, and Trebuchet is a completely custom built launcher.

I'm sure existz will explain this a lot better to you, I'm just sharing what I know...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Groschen:
ok, would use existz build but i dont like the 4 signal bars, would like to have 5 or 6 like in lords and i dont like the battery, prefer stock experience :D mabye he can make a build as i explained...

Well, if you prefer more of a stock experience, existz ROM is the closest you'll get to a stock Google Android. Lord's build has lots of heavy modifications.

As for the battery, I also wanted the stock battery without the percentage in it, but existz being the great guy he is, compiled a .zip file which you can flash and get the stock battery.

You can find the .zip attached to this post, but be careful, this .zip only works with the latest build, AR19.

Use quickpic from market, free and better option for hiding folders.

Hopefully Ill have an update today/tomorrow.., testing some final changes. Tons of compiler fixes and optimizations in this build (imo best one yet) , along with the mentioned feature request (sms contact in notification, volume wake, plus reworked Settings menu with disable bootanimation option..plus more :)).. Also some fixes from AOSP upstream and some more fixes/features to Launcher (option to remove Market icon in app drawer, some speed tweaks, ..etc)..

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Hehe.. i was releasing builds every couple days, but then started trying to do only one per week, that way everyone updated to latest version (this helps to ensure everyone is running same build and all bugs reported are from the latest version..since we dont go backwards, if there was any bugs in older builds, it really doesnt help me not knowing if its in the latest one or not).. But whenever I make significant changes, or theres alot of changes, i like to get a release out before the changelog gets to big, that way if any new bugs are introduced its easier to track down. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bloodydeath911:
Thank you so much for your hard work! Ive heard great things about your rom and I'm about to flash it to find out :)
