[HTC Inspire 4G] sportscrazed2:
Whole reason for me to root the phone is that i never expected htc to keep up to date with android and i'm not a big fan of skins on top of android. AOSP ICS is beautiful why do i need sense? Android is great but the manufacturers don't even bother upgrading most of the phones. They just expect most people to use whatever came on their phone until they upgrade. One thing I will give to apple is that since they develop their own os they don't really leave anyone behind unless they have a super old phone. We android guys on the other hand have the gift and the curse of being able to do it ourselves. Thanks to people on here I am running ICS on a phone that will never see an official ICS version long after htc has abandoned the phone.

Error while trying to search for music with stock music app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Can u please post the logcat in the issue tracker that way it doesn't get lost/forgot.. I'm usually working on 5-6 things at a time and sometimes forget stuffs posted in this thread and/or it gets lost ..

http://code.google.com/p/aospx/issues/detail?id=65
[HTC Inspire 4G] toysoldierq:
Ok ex i will hehe well it makes no sense posting mine other people already did, does it matter if i added mine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
The other ones are from an older build (BR2)...an updated logcat could give more details or be giving a different error. For example a logcat from AR13 might be different than BR4. So updated logs can be useful (even though the logs are from BR2, since then alot of things have changed and might be different than BR4-BR5T1)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rapscallion16:
I've been wanting to try this ROM, but have been waiting to see if HTC released an official ICS update. Now that that is out of the picture, I can try this out. Should I go for the BR5-Test1, or flash BR4 for now? If wiping is needed to go from BR4 to BR5, I'd like to go with BR5 if it's stable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
idk whats goin on with HTC anymore...lol...you can flash BR4 its super stable...this ROM has been my daily driver since mid ARs...its a fantastic AOSP Rom ex does a great job you wont regret it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Galaen:
A wipe would be needed. Go for br5. It is working beautifully.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
BR5-Test1 seems to be doing good.. its been just as stable as BR4 for me, and others are reporting no new issues (other than the ones in BR4). So either one is up to u.. I should have Test2 up sometime shortly, I was hoping for today but I had to end up wiping my PC clean due to some hdd corruption, so I'm in the process of getting it back online and then I'll get Test2 compiled and uploaded...which might be today or tomorrow. There's not that many big changes in Test2 over Test1 so going from T1-T2 shouldn't require a full wipe (although I always recommend it), but going from BR4 to either test does require a full wipe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angramenyu:
It's too bad we'll never get this to work properly now.

No problems at all for two days on DHD. Battery is very impressive. The best ICS build by a long shot.

[HTC Inspire 4G] hauj0bb:
I attempted to format the internal SD card from settings > storage and it didn't work. In the notification tray, I see the SD card icon with a "!" on it, and the description says "Blank SD card" "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem".

When I press on the notification item, I'm prompted to format, but that again doesn't work, and just redisplays the SD card icon with the "!" on it.

So, I decided to boot into recovery and try to format the SD card there, and I'm unable to mount it, so the format fails.

Any idea how to fix this?

Edit: partitioning the SD card in recovery worked, lost 128mb of space due to having to use recovery partitioning, no biggy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lilmikey201:
will the panorama be fixed in the camera app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Camera stuff is probably not going to be fixed until we either get the current Camera HAL fixed, or something better comes along.., but theres not much that can be done until then.. This is not something thats an easy fix, its going to take some major work to get the Camera fully working.. This includes all things Camera/Video Recording.

Shouldnt be a need to do a full wipe if coming from a previous version of aospX, just wipe cache/dalvik cache.., Usually the only time a full wipe is needed is if coming from a different ROM, or if I specify in the changelog ..as there is some times where its required, but ill make sure to post it.. But going from AR16-AR17 your fine

Huh? It is working properly. Best aosp Rom ever.

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Just because HTC trashes official ICS, that doesnt mean things wont get fixed. Theres still alot of other devices out there that have the same/similar hardware that will/does have ICS, so not all hope is lost. We have made it this far without any help from HTC.. (video playback, camera/video, wifi, gps, touchscreen, bluetooth, data, hardware acceleration, ..etc..etc.., all that stuff didnt work in the beginning). And theres really not that much stuff left to fix, the only big thing that doesnt work right now is 720p video recording (480p works), and everything else works (although some stuff needs a little more work, but it is working...ie video playback). People have to much faith in HTC, the only thing we would have benefited from an official release would have been mostly the updated kernel, but we can still get stuff to work without it..Although it would have been easier with it. If im not mistaking Saga has a leaked ICS build, so once kernel source is available for that we should be able to use some things from it since its a 7x30 device
[HTC Inspire 4G] angramenyu:
That's not what I mean. I know it works well right now as to use it as your everyday rom. But, truth is that camera, video and other minor stuff are not going to work as they should. And please, do not reply saying that we don't care about the camera and other stuff. We were waiting eagerly for the kernel in order to have this and other roms working stable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
^^^ agreed. Would love to see some HTC developer leak the source they were playing with if it exists.

Anyone else notice the button lights not lighting up?

No problem here...
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkmoray:
BT not connecting

The only problem I am having with BR4 (and I had it with BR3 as well), is to connect to my BT in my car, I need to reboot the phone when in the car and the car running.

I did not have this issue with other ROMS, so it is not the car and BT (or the phone).

My guess is it is a setting in the phone, but I cannot seem to find it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
What do you mean by not lighting up? Not lighting up when?

Did you restore the data or did you configure it fresh?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Seveli13:
I've got the BR5 test 1 on my inspire for 2 days every thing is great but I'm having 1 issue the rams is decreasing so fast (like when I run IM+ and opera the ram goes to 50mb or something like that) didn't have this issue in other roms. Help! :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostofcain:
Doesn't matter, in Unix based os free ram is wasted ram, android will free up ram if it needs it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Seveli13:
Its not like that it keeps closing all apps
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkmoray:

My button lights don't light up at all. I haven't checked to see if they light up on boot, but at no time while my phone is awake do they light up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I was worried about this, but I didnt want to say anything until someone proved it (placebo is a very powerful thing :P ). With -O3 it can increase memory consumption, so its possible its due to -O3 on thumb cflags. Ill remove -O3 on thumb cflags in next BR5-Test2 and will need you test it on a clean wipe/install... Anyone else noticing this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Seveli13:
Oh yeah .. now I'm on br4 its great .. maybe in the future I'll teats br5 test 2
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Do a full clean wipe, then let it boot and do not restore any data/apps ..etc and see if it happens on a clean fresh install with the way the rom comes stock . Your the only one with this issue so it must be do to something in your post-install process. But just see if it happens on a clean install with nothing else...If it works then continue to restore stuff one at a time
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Doesn't Android free up ram as its needed? So this shouldn't matter unless you are seeing a slowing of your device, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Well not really, in this case the problem is that those 2 apps are unable to be opened at the same time when using O3, so its killing it off due to higher memory usage caused by O3 compiler flag...My point is that the small increase in performance (~3-4%) is not worth the extra memory usage... Where as with the default Os flag those 2 apps have no problem running at the same time (and possibly even more ). Although O3 gives slightly better performance, the downside is 1) it increases overall binary size (it increased overall size by about 5-6mb) and 2) higher memory consumption.

We already use O3 for arm cflags, but in BR5-T1 I added it to thumb cflags as well..so I'll revert back to just using it on arm flags...but I can go back and just add O3 to the packages that make most sense instead of using it globally for everything. That way we can speed a few things up some, while still using Os for everything else.

But there's a small chance it might not even be due to this (although its unlikely since this is known with O3)...so I won't be able to say for sure until T2 is tested.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vespa.truccata:
I first noticed the same behavior when I selected apex launcher to stay on cache, but nevertheless also when opening some demanding app with more on the background, the cell hangs... :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Theres still a small chance that it might not be from O3, I also made some changes using the cortex string optimizations from CodeAurora, instead of Linaros..CAFs versions are reported to be slightly faster, but im not sure what (if any) effect they have on memory consumption. So if T2 doesnt fix it, then ill know where to look. But atm it looks like its most likely due to O3 since this is a known downside of using the O3 flag.

Im working on compiling BR5-Test2 now, so once its finished and I can take it for a quick test run then ill get it uploaded.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenix-Lead:
Understood. Will run test 2 and report when its ready
[HTC Inspire 4G] Seveli13:
I've found another issue :S sorry for that the flash player doesn't work so well at br4 ... I'm considering going back to cm7.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] plumberchuck:
I don't know if this is a problem or not, on the model number my phone says desire not inspire, on br4 and br5 test one, I redownloaded the inspire mod to two different comp, did a factory wipe twice for br4 and br5 test one and checked model number before any app upload and it still says desire, two different downloads two seperate comp. and factory wipe each time, the only common thing is team win rcovery in the goo.im, other then that I have no other issues or bugs, ( other then user screwups ).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
If you have an Inspire, you have to flash inspiremod right after flashing the ROM. This fixes the branding along with sound and GPS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If it still says desire HD then inspiremod is not flashing correctly...I'm using CWM and it flashes fine. If ur on an inspire then inspiremod is needed.. try a different recovery
[HTC Inspire 4G] plumberchuck:
Yes I flash the inspire mod each time and maps,gps works properly no tinny sound either, will do cwm recovery thank you for your time and devotion to ics.

Edit, did the cwm recovery and flashed inspire mod it worked, thank you.

Since Existz is still making big changes from release to release, he usually recommends a wipe. And he will for sure not accept a bug report without you being able to reproduce it on a clean install. That being said, I haven't had a problem yet that was caused by restoring apps. Not saying it won't happen, it's just rare.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Since reverting O3 compiler flag in upcoming BR5-Test2 (which applies to official release) a full wipe will be required...any time major stuff including compiler or compiler flags are changed, a full wipe is required or it can/will cause weird behavior, crashes, reboots..etc

Now they seem to be working... Weird. Last night in the dark they weren't. So I'll have to wait until dark again to see if the problem happens again.

Depends on what launcher you are using. I use Apex and you can save all settings and Desktop data to the SD card and restore anytime you want.

I use nova launcher & titanium backup. after flashing rom with full wipe I download titanium from the play store restore apps restore nova backup( it will restore all your home screens) and I'm up in less than 15 min.

On other ROM like LorD ClockaN's ROM doesn't recommend to restore system settings or apps with Titanium Backup or similar. So exist, how about this ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostofcain:
I'm afraid that applies to all ROMS, any change in the framework may result in restored data causing issues, but I restore apps enmasse with TB, but only restore selected app data and only ever one app at a time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I never restore system data. The apps I restore are user apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vespa.truccata:
@existz, could you provide us a separate download kernel only?

Amerigo Vespucci
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:
I only restore user apps also, not system data. Just to make it clear & peace of my mind, does restore even user apps only may result in causing issues on this ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
As far as I know, it would only cause issues with that particular app. Reinstalling, or just clearing data and cache would fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostofcain:
Doesn't matter, even user apps may misbehave if data is restored between different rom iterations.

Camera Issues?

I know this has been an ongoing issue, but from what I've read in the newest releases the camera has been working. I'm using BR4 and I full wiped before loading the rom. Whenever I open the stock camera app I just get a black screen until "Camera is not responding". All third party apps also crash. I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with a similar issue and has been able to resolve it. I have tried reflashing the rom and the camera did work before.

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
My camera and camcorder are working just fine. I would say, reboot your phone and get a fresh logcat for Existz. I think ideally, he wants a clean install with nothing restored. See if you can reproduce the behavior then.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
The icon doesn't blink on ICS. When it's looking for GPS, the icon is empty in the middle, but when it locks on, the middle is filled in. When you do a full wipe, make sure you wipe the system partition too, not just data.
