[HTC Inspire 4G] WordsworthESP:
I just wanted to address some misinformation in posts that were made yesterday, Blackout's new ICS/Sense ROM is absolutely not slow, especially if you're using the smartassv2 governor. Now, is it faster than existz's AospX, The Family's Redemption or Randomblame's Jellytime? No, but then again those aren't running Sense in any capacity, so naturally the pure builds are faster. Maybe you were confusing it with Virtuous Infinity, which is laggy, but it's an Alpha so that's to be expected.

As far as that BeatsAudio apk is concerned; it's placebo. It does nothing except puts a Beats logo in your statusbar. As explained in the Blackout thread, the true BeatsAudio work in HTC phones is in the kernel itself and is not open source, that's why BeatsAudio mods in ROMs at best merely add a little bass. DSP Manager is far better for EQ'ing purposes.

Sorry for getting off topic, existz. I am, however, downloading BR6 as I type. But I must admit you got me excited when you were starting to play around with Jelly Bean. :p

Yes beats audio. Apk doesn't do a thing
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Its just an EQ setting nothing more nothing less. I personally CAN tell the difference on speaker and with headphones plugged in. I've gone back and forth between back ups just to check. That's just me. Now if you really wanna turn up the weak speaker flash the Sony bravia engine patch then come back and say its placebo....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Does Sony bravia engine works with earphones if yes please give me it's link

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

I used sense 4 rom which had beats and really worked better than apk
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Please make a backup before playing around with this. It was too loud for me. But maybe not for you! I will NOT blow your speaker like some of the retards who are scared to flash it say. Sorry existz well get back on topic...

If you really want better sound or beats that bad get the real headphones or a new/better phone like the one x...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Well I have decided that I will not buy an HTC device again because what they to DHD.

Besides this one x or any other HTC doesn't fully support beats audio. I phone support beats better than HTC

I repeat does it alter headphones experience
[HTC Inspire 4G] sahively:
Ahem!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
It needs sense framework, use a sense rom.... "the real experience" :rolls eyes:

Yes your majesty?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lestervai:
dude, we have the same issues,

while i was on BR4, i am kinda annoyed that keyboard letter "A" and the "BackSpace" is not that responsive, plus while i am playing some games (Modern Combat 3 and DH3) the move stick is sometimes unresponsive.

but hey, after i flashed BR6, as far as yesterday i dont have that issues anymore. texting is smooth(all keys) and virtual joystick is better than BR4.

my only issue now is the slight bug on the video recording and the geolocation problems.

overall, this ROM really nails it!

Thank you. Existz!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I keep getting messages in regards to this, so I'm posting it again for those that missed it...GooManager support has been removed in BR6 and replaced with my modified version of OTA Updater (Settings->OTA Updater).. The reason is because Goo was slow and very unreliable...with OTA Updater it allows direct linking downloads from GoogleCode, that way I only have to upload to one place. So OTA downloads will now be faster and more reliable...plus push notifications. Since BR6 is the initial version, there won't be any OTA update notifications until the next release. So you will need to download BR6 directly from GoogleCode.

Also since this is a modified version of OTA Updater app specifically for aospX (and integrated into Settings), do not use app updates from the official site... Whenever this is updated upstream I will update my version. Just think of it as a completely different app/project (because as time goes on, I will be making more of my own changes and more tailored for aospX and DHD/Inspire). But i have already added aospX branding to the version name in About for the next release.

EDIT:

I also want to point this out early, I have updated OTA Updater to show the actual device name under Device Information. In BR6 it reports "ace" (because it checks Build.DEVICE), but in BR7 it will show the actual device name "DesireHD" or "Inspire 4G" (by checking Build.MODEL)..
[HTC Inspire 4G] juan0089:
Hi existz ur rom is awesome.. have question, why this rom does not recognize the SIM contacts? thanks man
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
At least from my understanding its because with AOSP contacts are meant to be synced through Google sync. Every AOSP rom i have used does not read sim contacts...You can either use a Sense rom to export contacts to sdcard, which saves it as a .vcf file and then on AOSP you can just import that .vcf file from People->Menu->Import/Export ....or just sync your contacts to google from a Sense rom, so that way all you have to do is sync.. But Ive always had my contacts synced through Google though, so ive never really had to worry about this...so someone else might know an easier way or an app or something (if there is one). But AOSP doesn't read directly from sim afaik
[HTC Inspire 4G] juan0089:
hmm now I understand .. I always do as you say through Google or export. vcf file ... I'll donate some money no matter how it is? I'm from Costa Rica
[HTC Inspire 4G] charge1313:
Does br5 - > 6 require a full wipe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
Like always...yes...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Exitz you should remove issue 23 I have tried to recreate it but I have failed BR6 doesn't full wipe and tried many times.
[HTC Inspire 4G] charge1313:
Thanks :)

I was thrown off by all the OTA update talk with BR6 and 7
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
Just to see what happened (and in hopes that I wouldn't have to go through with setting up the phone again), when I upgraded to BR6 from BR5, I did not full wipe (only formatted system and cache) and so far I have not had any problems. YMMV.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
If something goes can it be fixed by just doing a full wipe and reinstalling rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
I told you dude the HTC beats apk" so called real version" can ONLY be used with sense framework because its a sense app. It will NOT work on this rom. If you want beats use the apk I provided a few pages back if it helps you sleep at night. Yes just full wipe or restore backup. Not to be a **** but we've talked about this more than enough lol. I just don't understand why you're so obsessed with beats. Use a sense rom dude...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Sense rom sucks I will sacrifice my beats obsession for aospX
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Ok. Good luck with that....
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
What bug in video recording? Records fine for me...And have u enabled Googles location service in Settings->Location services?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
In People > Menu > Import/Export, there is an option for "Import from SIM card". Is that not what he's looking for?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If im not mistaking, I think its hit or miss...and it will only read certain SIM cards (it works for some, others it dont). I personally never had any success with AOSP roms reading my SIM, and thats on many different roms and devices (SGS, N1, Inspire...pure AOSP, CM, AOSP ports). But its worth trying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
But I wanted to get everyones opinion on this icon for OTA Updater... I really wasnt that crazy about the lightning bolt one used in BR6, so ive been trying a few different ones...but cant decide...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Galaen:
It definitely works, but it somewhat makes me think I am going to be uploading and not downloading. I don't know if an inverted arrow would look bad, but I feel it would symbolize "download" more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea it kinda reminded me the same at first...I had seen this icon (and some similar) on a few different OSs and devices for System Updates, Over the air updates...etc.. so I thought I might be able to get away with it....but I'll see what I can do about using a down arrow instead...but IMO as is, its better than the lightning bolt
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogueWing:
I backed up my pictures/videos/ringtones and formatted the card. Once I put them back on after the format it works fine now. Kinda weird.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
I think it will work just fine.........can not be to picky...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Galaen:
Oh yes, it's definitely better than the bolt. It gets the point across more. Plus, it isn't like people are going to avoid it because of an arrow direction. My curiosity is in regards to the point of the arrow touching the edge of the cloud. The black of the arrow bleeding into the black of the screen (if that makes sense) could look... off. But if you raise it some, the little bit of white showing could be odd. Maybe invert it like it is, then try it with the arrow centered? Okay, I'm just rambling now. I am way too picky about this stuff, so I am just going to stop. Just some opinions. :D

About the video recording, after i record and hit play, on the 10th second onwards the video just stops but the audio is still playing. I tried 2-3 times to record, but still same problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
here's a cool looking updater icon. just let me know what size the ping is and i'll upload it to you if you like. I'll also make it white.

Edit: Never mind looks awful in white.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Hm, not having this issue either...it plays fine after 10s and onwards for me (tested a 2min clip). Can u verify on a full wipe (wipe data, system, cache..etc and do this manually from recovery, no wipe scripts and do not install with something RomManager, flash directly from recovery ) ..and with nothing else installed and no backups restored..etc...just with a clean install of the rom, nothing else (you can flash inspiremod if ur on an Inspire)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Can someone else please verify if this still happens with BR6?

Issue 76: audio hissing noise with headphones on

http://code.google.com/p/aospx/issues/detail?id=76
[HTC Inspire 4G] scorpiopantera:
Best ICS rom. So smooth. Haven't ran into the garbled text yet. Exists, you're the man!
[HTC Inspire 4G] techstoney:
Verified Existz. No hissing noise heard with headphones on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
I have that issue too. actually i have couple bugs i found in video recording...

1. the same issue with this user. (video freezes about last 10 seconds of the video..4minute clip)

2. While recording, around 3-4minutes of recording(if lucky 5 minutes, but with spikes), the camera starts to lag and have spikes then all of the sudden the camera crashes.

3. I cant go back into camera app unless i reboot after the crash. (it says Camera is not connected)

4. also sometimes the when I finish recording and go to gallery, the video is kind of corrupted. The video is all screwed up. Im still able to play the video but with weird effects on it..

did a full wipe and installed it.

only flashed Inspiremod 0.5

EDIT: OH and this is on BR5, not 6 ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rapscallion16:
I am also having similar periodic issues with the video camera, and I'm also not able to view anything in the Gallery app, as someone else posted about before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
No such problems here..Gallery is ok and played a 2min clip which seems to be fine.

Sent from my Desire HD using my own hands :silly:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Nope it doesn't happens now
[HTC Inspire 4G] lestervai:
yes. i did a full wipe, cleaned cache and cleaned dalvik cache. flash directly from recovery. no backups restored. i did flash the inspiremod after flashing the ROM. i guess i did all the right procedures.
[HTC Inspire 4G] paulb_nl:
Existz,

I have looked into 720p recording and the error is:

E/OMX-VENC-720p( 1233): allocate_input_buffer()::
E/OMX-VENC-720p( 1233):

E/OMX-VENC-720p( 1233):
E/OMX-VENC-720p( 1233): ERROR: mmap FAILED= 12

error 12 means out of memory

I changed the size in media_profiles.xml to 960x720 and it recorded succesfully but only one time. It means we have to increase memory.

The mmap is being done on /dev/pmem_adsp in vidc/venc/src/omx_video_base.cpp so we can try to change arch/arm/mach-msm/board-spade.h in the kernel

#define MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE	0x01D00000

I am not sure what increase is needed. maybe we can try 0x02D00000 to start.

The other thing i noticed is:

720p
D/QualcommCameraHardware( 1233): requested preview size 1280 x 720
D/QualcommCameraHardware( 1233): requested picture size 3264 x 2448

480p
D/QualcommCameraHardware( 1233): requested preview size 720 x 480
D/QualcommCameraHardware( 1233): requested picture size 2592 x 1728

It is setting a picture size before video recording.We can't take pictures while recording so maybe we can save memory by requesting a small picture size and maybe won't have to increase the PMEM_ADSP_SIZE.

No picture size at all would be best but I am not sure that is possible.

The picture size is being set here in platform_packages_apps_Camera/blob/ics-devel/src/com/android/camera/VideoCamera.java line 2003:

if (!original.equals(optimalSize)) {
mParameters.setPictureSize(optimalSize.width, optimalSize.height);
}

change to:

mParameters.setPictureSize(640, 480);

As you can see it is setting a picture size of 8M at 720p which is a bug i think but uses a big buffer so forcing it to 640x480 would maybe save enough memory to allow 1280x720 recording.

If that fails we can try to increase PMEM_ADSP_SIZE.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thachtunganh:
Sorry but how do you know error 12 is out of memory?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
Is this with the 3.0.x kernel or the one in aospX right now? Or does it not matter?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
This problem has popped up in quite a few different rom threads (from Sense, to ICS, to JellyBean), it has been reported that a RomManager version started creating .nomedia files in folders on sdcard...so check that theres no .nomedia files ...even if you dont use RomManager try these steps, its fixed it for others (just skip first step)

Quoted from Mateusm:

>update to latest rom manager app

>Clear media storage data

>Clear gallery data

>Clear your music player data

Reboot into recovery

>clear cache

Reboot and wait a little bit, it can take some time to appear again. Took me 2 min to see everything again.

[HTC Inspire 4G] paulb_nl:
It uses errno to print the error number

http://www.barricane.com/c-error-codes-include-errno

The one in aospX right now. With the 3.0 kernel only could get taking pictures to work. With recording I got SIGSEGV errors.

I forced the setPictureSize to 640x480 but that didn't work. I am hoping increasing the PMEM_ADSP_SIZE will work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea i tried forcing setPictureSize to 640x480 as well and no go... But ill try a few different values for PMEM_ADSP_SIZE and see if that works

EDIT:

I tried 0x02D00000 and it did start recording and played back fine in gallery but it broke audio during playback.But 720p recording was slighty choppy and it caused some distortion on the statusbar after exiting the app. But we might be on the right track here..especially if we can free up some memory else where and leave PMEM_ADSP_SIZE the way it is. But I got a few things I gotta do and then I'll start looking into this more. If u figure anything else out let me know.

EDIT 2:

Audio not playing was not related to this
[HTC Inspire 4G] marl30:
The issue with gallery not showing pics and music is not just a problem with some ICS roms. I'm currently on a GB Sense rom. I also had this issue recently. I did a lot of Google search and found out that .nomedia file (as Existz pointed out) was created on the sd card. I didn't get this problem solved until I deleted it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CpN82:
I just found around 15 .nomedia files. But I don't have issues with Gallery. But deleted them anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Some are placed there for a reason, so if you start seeing stuff pop up in gallery that shouldnt be there after a reboot then just create a blank file named .nomedia in that folder. All a .nomedia file does is tells it not to scan for media in that folder.
[HTC Inspire 4G] paulb_nl:
Could it be memory regions being overwritten? You probably have to adjust all the bases accordingly although I see MSM_PMEM_CAMERA_BASE using the same base as MSM_PMEM_MDP_BASE because PMEM_CAMERA_SIZE was previously 0x0 and the bases were not adjusted after it was set to 0x00C00000.

So if you change PMEM_ADSP_SIZE to 0x2D00000 you have to shrink MSM_LINUX_SIZE2 to 0x0A900000 and change MSM_PMEM_ADSP_BASE to 0x2A900000.

We need to find the smallest size that will still allow 720p recording.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
So after setting the following...

PMEM_ADSP_SIZE to 0x2D00000

MSM_LINUX_SIZE2 to 0x0A900000

MSM_PMEM_ADSP_BASE to 0x2A900000

It does record 1280x720p and plays back fine in Gallery and no distortion when exiting app..etc. Have you tried this yourself or do you want me to post a test kernel? But atleast we have 720p recording without crashing now... but like you said we need to find the smallest size while allowing 720p
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmikeb92:
Alright maybe I'm just blind but I can't find a download link anywhere for this ROM. I went to every link in the op but I gotta get rid of jelly time right now BC of lack of bluetooth
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
It's under the name Google code
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
http://code.google.com/p/aospx

Look under the Download tab ...And if you are on inspire you will need to download inspiremod from OP and flash after installing the rom. Also check Issue Tracker before posting any issues (click Issues tab)

Yup I'm an idiot. Thank you. Glad to be back on aospx
[HTC Inspire 4G] dpmurphy81:
Just the Best

I really have to say that this is the best ROM out there, I have tried all the roms from here and the desire HD side and I have to say that this is the most complete , fastest , and most stable of all the ROMS for the inspire 4G hands down and thumbs up for AOSPX

Thanks Again
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
how come this rom still uses the old superuser??

I find the chainfire's superuser more better for ICS.

matches the theme quite well ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Its a personal choice...usually i try to support those that open source their work more over those that dont. Afaik Chainfire has not posted source for SuperSU.. and back in SGS days he really didnt post source that often either. But SuperUser does what it needs to,
[HTC Inspire 4G] paulb_nl:
That would be great if you could post a test kernel. Can't build it myself yet. Have you tried a smaller size?

Also can you try setting MSM_PMEM_CAMERA_SIZE back to 0x0? It could be writing into MSM_PMEM_MDP area because they use the same base address. If that breaks camera we can restore the value and adjust the base addresses so it doesn't use the same as PMEM_MDP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I went ahead and posted initial test files for the kernel and a media_profiles.xml with 720p on Issue Tracker...but I haven't had a chance to try smaller values yet. I'll dig into this deeper tomorrow (12:22am here). But so far so good, haven't ran into any new issues yet , but I really haven't had a chance to fully dig into things either..

http://code.google.com/p/aospx/issues/detail?id=20#c29

EDIT

Also, this is with MSM_PMEM_CAMERA_SIZE left the way it was, the only thing changed was....

PMEM_ADSP_SIZE to 0x2D00000

MSM_LINUX_SIZE2 to 0x0A900000

MSM_PMEM_ADSP_BASE to 0x2A900000

Is anyone hearing a static sound during calls?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
No, call sound is fine for me...are you on inspire? If so flash inspiremod from OP if you havent already
[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
Yeah, I have an Inspired and I already flashed Inspiremod. I did not having this problem with BR4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Not sure, works fine for me.. and you flashed inspiremod again after updating to BR6? (it has to be flashed every time you update)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
I flashed it after I installed BR6. I have been using BR6 for a few days and today I started hearing the static noise in the background during calls.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Only thing I can really think of is something that you might have flashed, installed..etc.. recently could be causing it. I need you to full wipe and reinstall BR6 without installing anything else and/or restoring any data/backups (you can flash Inspiremod). I need to know if it still happens on a clean install with nothing else installed.

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Salpula:
Existz, I gotta say, this ROM has come a long way since I first tried it with one of the later AR builds a while back. I was even thinking yesterday that, after 2 days of smooth sailing, I am ready to run this full time. Then, I ran into a couple issues this morning.

Problem 1: I was texting this morning (and have over the last couple days) with no problem, I received a text and when I went to check it on the phone, it was still showing part up in the status bar and I could read it fine, then when I went to check the message itself, 95% was blank and maybe a total of 6 characters were visible - I checked my other messages and all messages were like this, until I did a reboot.

Problem 2: After that reboot, things were running smoothly for about 10 minutes. Text messages were displaying normally. However after browsing facebook and reading some stories in the browser, all the sudden, it stopped taking touchscreen input for about 10 seconds. Then it accepted 2 or 3 touch inputs before becoming unresponsive for 10 seconds again. This went on for 4-5 minutes, with ~70% processor idle and no alerts on cpu usage from Watchdog.

Are these known bugs? Is there anything I can do to help out? Is a logcat useful in this situation? I am going to hold out a little bit longer before I revert to CM7 in hopes that this was just a fluke/in case I can help out.

Edit: Just a note, I did a full wipe before install, installed inspiremod, and didn't restore anything with Titanium Backup. I also have not messed with cpu profiles/governor as I was evaluating battery usage before messing with that.
