If there is anything you want us to do like testing things.We are always here to do it.You work all alone like a one man army and yet all of your releases are so stable. This shows true dedication :thumbup:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
+1 because most of us use ace as secondary phone and will be here for testing

If I helped you press thanks

If no then sorry
[HTC Inspire 4G] mu3g:
Well and truly appreciated bruv. I am super excited to try it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
I tried JellyTime for a week or so...and I had all kinds of issues. It was okay, maybe slightly faster in my DHD, with all the JB niceties, but ultimately it wasn't as fully featured and stable...so I'm here with aospX for good!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bad.Fish:
Have u tried jellytime R8 very stable release. R9 and R9.1 have been released but new issues have risen. So I'm sticking with R8. Don't knock something till you know more about it:thumbup:
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Heres a test kernel I need you guys to test for me.. I have increased the handset volumes some (Synthetic Nightmare), mainly I need those that think the in-call volume is low to test this and see if its any better, and to make sure no distortion is present..etc.. If you have installed any 3rd party apps to increase volume, make sure to uninstall them first...otherwise it will defeat the purpose, i need to see how it sounds exactly the way it comes. Ive also modified the wifi signal values, allowing lower wifi signals to be seen. This really doesnt fix anything, it just allows for weaker signals to show up. Full changelog below..

Changelog:

spade: Increased handset volume

kgsl: Updated kgsl driver from CAF

bcm4329: Allow low wifi signals to be seen

i2c: chips: corrected a warning for BMA150

genalloc: Change chunk allocation to vmalloc

Download:

[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Seems to be a little louder. No distortion noted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Yes.. Volume is now louder without any distortion... Confirmed :)

Also right now i am at a place where wifi signal strength is usually low.i can see one blue bar now.before flashing this new kernel, it used to show no bars at all with this much low signals..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Sounds great on my Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] plumberchuck:
In coming call is louder, no distortion, call volume can't tell (am half def to certain tones) but I can here conversation better. Oh inspire and thank you exsist for the GN works great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
No issues here with the test kernel as well. Not sure if I see a big improvement, but there is some...:)

EDIT: Calls seems to be louder...but not sure about WiFi still...
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Tried to download the kernel this morning and it the link goes no where. Did you take it down?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Dev-host might be down, im sure it will be back up soon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea, it was just a small increase.. I didn't want to increase it too much because for some its not an issue, but others think its a little quite.. As far as wifi, its not really going to make much difference either, it just lowers the values for what it considers no signal, low signal, good signal, ..etc. So depending on your signal strength you might not even see a difference. I didn't want to change it much either because you don't want a weak signal showing full bars..etc, this just gives a little bit more room for really low signals to show up. The only changes made were each step was lowered by -7.. So NO_SIGNAL went from -91 to -98, LOW went from -70 to -77..etc..etc..and so on.

Before:
WL_IW_RSSI_MINVAL -200
WL_IW_RSSI_NO_SIGNAL -91
WL_IW_RSSI_VERY_LOW -80
WL_IW_RSSI_LOW -70
WL_IW_RSSI_GOOD -68
WL_IW_RSSI_VERY_GOOD -58
WL_IW_RSSI_EXCELLENT -57
WL_IW_RSSI_INVALID 0
MAX_WX_STRING 80

After:
WL_IW_RSSI_MINVAL -200
WL_IW_RSSI_NO_SIGNAL -98
WL_IW_RSSI_VERY_LOW -87
WL_IW_RSSI_LOW -77
WL_IW_RSSI_GOOD -75
WL_IW_RSSI_VERY_GOOD -65
WL_IW_RSSI_EXCELLENT -64
WL_IW_RSSI_INVALID 0
MAX_WX_STRING 87

Wasn't knocking it. It was R7.2. Just wasn't as fully functional as aospX BR7. Not having a go at anyone...that would be ignorant.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Works a treat here on my DHD... increased wifi signal indicated (slightly) and much louder call volume (had to turn the volume down on my voicemail!). Thanks a million! :)

Future feature request....can you make wifi toggle and connect on/off quicker? In JB it is significantly faster than ICS. This is the main thing I miss when going back to ICS from JB.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tarhaomenapuu:
AospX is a greate rom, fast stable however not overloaded with useless crap.

Said that, IF i dont need all this ics stuff... which rom is give me better performance in games? AospX or Cm7.2? Im talking about 3d games. You know, i played for a while on nexus 7 and now i wanna return it (screen lift ofc.) And w8 a bit for asus to fix everything. BUT i dont wanna lose my game experience. Here come my old DHD.... Also maybe games like nova3 and oac are more optimized for gb... anyone could help me?

And thx.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
I use Nova 3 and MC3 on my ics rom and its amazing. I see no reason why it shouldn't work on this rom. The only two roms I love is IceCold and AOSPX. So I'm a die hard follower of these two and in my exparience 3D game play is amazing on them.

For those that flashed the prebuilt GPS lib test, anyone able to confirm if it fixes GPS signal dropping after certain amount of time? This was basically the only reason I tested the prebuilt lib from official release, to see if it fixes dropped signal.

And those that flashed the test kernel with adjusted handset volume, everything ok with that as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:

GPS fix and test kernal both working fine here
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Since everyone is reporting good results with the test kernel and GPS test, I'm compiling what should be MR1 release. I updated my tool chain to latest build tools from Linaro (again), so I'm currently testing to make sure it doesn't introduce any new problems. So as long as nothing pops up I should have MR1 up in a day or two (possibly this weekend). I'm just making sure its as stable as possible with all the new changes, especially since I'm throwing the MR tag on it.. so its taking a little longer than normal
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
Excited! Thanks for your hard work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Existz, are there going to be further changes to the camera? I normally don't take long videos, but just recently took one longer than two minutes and it messes up somewhere about the yep minute mark and goes sometimes to the two forty five mark and then cuts off even if I recorded more. The point is it looks fine when recording, it's the playback that's messed up. Would a logcat from right after recording help?

Feedback

I ended up reverting to CM 7.2 today. Kind of sad I had to because I really like this ROM. I just wanted to give some feedback.

Main reason for switch: Battery. The screen uses 1% of battery per minute on this rom (at least on my phone, I know it seems not everyone has this problem), I tried lower brightness a bit and it didn't seem to make much difference. I tried throttling the CPU a bit but it made no diff on battery time and made the performance issues I had worse.

Secondary Reason: performance issues. browser and browsing in general in other browsers (but mostly stock browser) is awfully slow, even with full bars of 4G service. Go to another App? Data loads quickly. Who wants to wait 3 minutes for a page to load?

Third reason: Occasionally when trying to make a phone call the dialer app freezes, force closes and then I get a message saying I have to reboot because the Sim card has changed. Just something I don't want to deal with.

Features were all great, and I am certainly no trying to trash talk existz, he has done a lot of great work. Stability has been great except that occasional dialer freeze issue. Sometimes I wonder if this phone is just not up to ICS, though I haven't tried any of the JB roms yet. CM 7.2 I can get over 24 hours of battery with pretty acceptable performance even with the CPU downclock to ~500 MHZ. If I find I am crazy and get no better battery life on CM7.2, I will probably come back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Hm, I don't have any of these issues...as far as battery goes I get about 3-4/4.5 hours screen on time, with screen off it barley drains ~5% over 8-9hrs sleep...(no battery saving apps, stock CPU frequency/governor, and with original battery ). As for the dialer, never had that happen either...nor had any other reports.. Nor on any of the other issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Thats strange really as i never faced any of the mentioned problems..Dialer works absolutely fine.never freezed

And the battery part:Like exist i also get atleast around 4hrs of screen on time..Max i got was 5hrs.

I never hd to reboot my desire hd while using AospX..Started using it since BR4 and onwards.. :good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] mstevan:
Hm, i have arround a 2h screen time, 1h voice call, 2g on all time and battery lasts for 10h, and hour + or - ...Never had a screen time more than 2,5 hours. Only ROM with better battery life, for my phone, is hrkfdn`s unofficial Oxygen rom, from Desire HD section:

Btw, i have a Desire HD, not Inspire...

And, existz, thank you for this amazing rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Oathdynasty:
It's hard to ask this without it sounding like me asking for an ETA, but I'm curious as to if I should flash BR7 right now (I have BR4 still), or should I wait for BR8? 7 has been out for over a month now, and I haven't seen a time difference like that in any of the releases, so I have to assume that 8 is pretty close. Could anyone give me some insight as to what I should do? I think I'm going to wait it out, but I'd like some other insight.

I tried a couple complete wipe, reflash, and no restore from TB a couple times since they seem to be problem no on else reported. I just hate the god damn inspire and can't wait till I can afford to replace it. This is my second one and its nothing but issues.

Also: there is no way I could get more than 1-1.5 hrs screen time, 4 hours would solve that issue for me.

Please hopefully clarify that you meant this in a joking "you keep creating great ROMs and MR1's going to eat all my time whenever it comes out" way, and not in a "you take too long to put out MR1" way?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmot205:
I had the same issue with battery life that you describe.

I was able to find the problem by getting BetterBatteryStats here in xda and looking at the partial wakelocks to find out what was going on. Turns out for me it was a combination of the official Facebook app and Google Maps. So I froze Map with Titanium Backup and removed Facebook and now my battery life is vastly improved.

I recommend you give this a go before jumping ship (still worth it even if you have already) :)

I am a little curious why other people are not experiencing issues with Google Maps draining the battery by engaging GpsLocationProvider though. Any ideas, learned forum members?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nj_PeePs:
I turn off my GPS when I'm not using it. It's only on when I'm in the car using Navigation or Torque. I avg. 10-12 hrs of battery with about an hour or so of screen time.

Frequently web pages take a long time to load. They actually never really load quick. I just assumed my inspire WiFi antenna was weak. I always use WiFi. I don't use cell data.

Possibly related, some emails never seem to load using the stock email app. Usually I just move on after 30 seconds.

I also have had the Dialer freeze and tell me to restart because of my SIM card 2 or 3 times.

[HTC Inspire 4G] allstar21369:
Just wanna start by saying thanks to all the devs and everyoen else testing this ROM. It's extremely functional and I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now. The biggest issue for me (and I imagine most people) is the buggy camera and complete absence of video recording. I know that everyone has those issues but I'm curious as to why and when it could/will be fixed. I hope I dont' sound impatient as I'm fairly certain it's not the due to the lack of hard work we don't have a working camera, I'm just genuinely curious what has to happen, if anything, for us to have a working camera (I mean camera and video camera). Again, not impatience, genuine curiosity.

Just a little update...I've got MR1 done, doing a few final quick tests before posting. I've still got a few things that I need to push to git, and then I should have it uploaded...so look for it later today or tomorrow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
Excellent! Will we be able to dirty flash over BR7 or will we need to do a full wipe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
A full wipe will be recommended (although not required).. But there's a ton of changes in this build, so for best results I highly recommend a full wipe. If you dirty flash and then run into ANY issues, the first step before posting should be to do a full wipe, with nothing else installed (apps, backups..etc) to see if it continues

But I'll try to get it up today, but where its Sunday in the US that means football! So I'm going to be a little occupied the rest of the day, so if I don't get to it today I will tomorrow. The only things I have left to do is push the remaining changes to git, and then upload/post (but that means I have to update XDA, GoogleCode, Launchpad, update for the OTA update, and update git...so it takes me a little time to update everything)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
Figured as much on the flash! Agreed on football as well! I have a game to watch myself. Thanks for your hard work... kick ass ROM.

One quick question... do you have google now rolled in or do we need to reinstall that separately? I noticed the bar at the top on BR7 and didn't think twice about it when I flashed v10 over it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You will need to reinstall Google Now after each update. As of right now I do not have it included, but I might add it later or something.
