Ok i read back a few pages and havent seen these issues and wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this and if so is there a fix. First issue is when im on a call it periodically hangs up on me. Second issue is when im texting the app periodically closes.

I have an HTC Inspire 4G

Thanks,

Soggy

So has any one else noticed that the test 3 is a little sluggish than br2?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:
Wow ...waiting for BR3. I love this ROM & thanks to the devs!
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:
Done your full wipe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostryder12:
Dl Link2SD from the store. It does the same as app2sd, only better. Link2SD will tell you which apps can be moved without causing issues. Some apps do not work well when on the SD card and if you try, this app will advise you that you shouldn't. :)

I'll take a look now. I do have a another ? In my other post a page back I asked about kernels and would like to know if those kernels will work or any other recommend ones thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] toysoldierq:
Yes i notice but paid it no mind thats why its call a test build.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Hey thanks for that info just what I want and yes its way better the the other one

Not problem. Pass it on when someone else needs it. :thumbup:

What kind of battery life your getting..

I mean this in a good way but surprised most user switch out the kernel but ok cool
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
So that media profile I take it that's a fix for video recording
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
First issue: does your screen turn off in call? Can you rule out your cheek isn't hanging up your calls?

Second issue: haven't seen this before. You on a clean install? Do you have lots of message threads restored?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
No, if ur on BR3-Test3 then it works out of the box, but make sure to select 480p... all the media_profiles does is removes all the other options since only 480p works anyway.. I just wanted it tested because I'm using it in next version, that way it defaults 480p, and there's not a bunch of users who dont read trying to record in 720, and then wondering why it doesn't work or causes it to FC.

As for kernels, I only support the way the rom comes stock, I cannot and will not support anything that I didn't compile myself. So flash another kernel at your own risk, if something doesn't work with another kernel there's nothing I can do..

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostryder12:
I will only switch kernels if my battery life takes a crap. Existz ROMs are so well crafted that a different kernel is not needed. Plus, if your device takes a dump because of something you did, he will just tell you to put it back the way it was. :sly:

[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Cool ill keep it the way it is kernel wise. And existz i down loaded br2 and its my 1st using your rom. Its been running good for the past 2 hours.

O I didn't see a BR3 out or I may over looked it Oh is not out. What's goo manager I take it that's were I can down load your rom / updates I know its a hosting site.

Never mind I just went through goo manager to see never used that before looks cool
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Yes. And flashed inspiremod. That's it
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
How long does the GPS lock? Was there a GPS zip to flash

Never mind got it to work

Hi all. First time posting in this thread, and looking for some advice I can't see after a bit of searching.

1. Do people use this as their day-to-day ROM? I understand it's a beta and things will break, but is it stable enough to do most things with minimal reboots?

2. I am on CM7.1 at the moment, what is the best method of installing?

3. If I needed to go back (work phone so must be stable-ish) to CM what would be the best steps?

I can probably guess most of the above, but it's always nice to have someone that knows answer!

Cheers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
I have used this as my daily ROM since it was an Alpha Release (early 20-s version I think). Very stable. Maybe three reboots in the last few months? And I usually get a good work day out of the battery: 1-2 hours talk time, 20-40 text messages. Of course your mileage may vary, so you will have to try it yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
Welcome to the thread...I too came from CM7...I use this ROM daily and love it...everything that I need works perfectly...if you read thru the changlogs or the OP you'll see all the things that are working...Ex also seems to have gotten 480p video working on his lastest test release which will be implemented in BR3 (either today or tomm according to one of his last posts)...so stability is solid...install method would be (at least how I do it and have not had any issues...knock on wood) I DL ROm from code.google (i also have a copy of the latest TB on my sdcard for easy resore) (if you have an Inspire DL insiremod from the OP, I'll get to that in a min) back up all my apps via TB and via CWM i install ROM via sd card...check all three boxes and off I go...once phone has rebooted...i go into my sd card install my copy of TB and restore all my apps...once thats done i go right into CWM and choose install ROM from sd card and choose the inspiremod.zip (the default check box should be the only thing checked) and away we go...you'll see CWM install the patch and then reboot after its gone thru the boot animation you'll see "optimizings apps" (thats normal) once you've finally booted into the phone you're good to go...to go back to CM is easy...while you installed this ROM you backed up your CM7.1 in CWM so going back to CM is as easy as restoring your backup of CM...hope that helps
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Hi V3ng and welcome!

Here's some brief answers to your questions:

1. Do people use this as their day-to-day ROM? I understand it's a beta and things will break, but is it stable enough to do most things with minimal reboots?

I've been using this ROM since it was in it's alpha stage, versions and versions ago, and this is the most day-to-day ICS ROM for DHD/Inspire out there. I haven't moved from it since! Don't let the Beta tag fool or mislead you, the dev is just very professional and all he does in this ROM keeps it pretty transparent with us the users, and he will remove the Beta tag as soon as he thinks it's out of beta, even though this ROM is more bug free than most ROMs out there.

2. I am on CM7.1 at the moment, what is the best method of installing?

Nothing extraordinary or different than installing another ROM. Just do a full nandroid backup of your current CM7 ROM, do a full wipe and install this one.

3. If I needed to go back (work phone so must be stable-ish) to CM what would be the best steps?

Well, if you make a backup of your current CM7 ROM, you can restore it via recovery the same way as you'd do the backup, just instead of Backing up, you'd...well...Restore it :)

Cheers

running BR2...still new to the whole logcat thing so maybe someone can see if they can duplicate before I figure that one out...but is anyone having an issue with YouTube...it works fine for a little bit then freezes, goes to a black screen and stops respoding
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Did your Youtube app update to the JB version? Mine did and I'm also on BR2 and Youtube is working just fine. Even the previous version was working too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
yup version 4.0.8E

maybe its just me...idk...ill try and figure out the logcat thing and see if i can get one posted
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Have you tried wiping the app's cache/data and see if it works?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
over looked that idea...ill give it a shot...and if that doesn't do it then ill post the log...and it did the same thing for me before JB update too

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

cleared cache and data...same problem...getting the log now
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
Heres the logcat...hope this helps
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
How can also pull a logcat never did before
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You can use a terminal emulator and do..

su

logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
i used alogcat from the market...rebooted and went right into youtube...recreated issue and saved log...then uploaded
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
So any emulator.cool I'll try it out some time and I take it gives an overview of the rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Ive made a few extra changes that I wasnt expecting, so i will probably put one more test up before making final BR3... Im compiling the new test now, then going to test for a little bit to make sure alls good, then ill hopefully upload sometime today... Ive got a wild 2yr old running around, lol, so kind of got my hands full atm, so hopefully it will be soon lol

Changes in next test:

- some updates from AOSP master branch

- modified media_profiles.xml to only include/default 480p

- removed a commit from CAF that might be causing lockups/regression

- added back + some new arm/neon optimizations to skia from 0xlab/Linaro

- disabled animations by default (this is just a personal preference) you can enable in Settings/Developer Options

[HTC Inspire 4G] neilkarunatilaka:
i flashed this on my girlfriends inspire.

i have 2 questions if anyone can help.

1) can't mount USB storage in ROM. ADB cannot see device in ROM state, HBoot/Fastboot, or Recovery.

2) everything seems to be working except, no GPS locking and the data services on AT&T don't work that well. I'm assuming radio or kernel issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
So it looks like theres some jellybean changes made to AOSP master, not much but some... especially to webkit/skia... Currently we use skia/webkit from CAF, but im going to try and switch to jellybean version and see how it performs, but ill need to go through most of my source and remove all webkit/skia/v8 changes from CodeAurora..so if i can get it to build then ill test it out, if alls good then ill work on getting a few optimizations added back

I have a Desire HD so sounds like its a bit easier for me too.

Thanks guys!
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Well I had the GPS not locking right away but I did flash a different radio and it locked on with in 25sec
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:

[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
Could be related to the radio. Check a few pages back you'll find what you need.

[HTC Inspire 4G] misterbbq:
i flashed the 10.04.03_M radio and got 7 out of 7 sats in just a few seconds. hard to tell if my phone service is any better.....at&t has always been poor at my house.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
I'm on the latest test rom right now playing around with radios (4.28 the newest radio) and I can't get a lock for anything. I used gps status to reset GPS state and etc. Flashed inspire mod again and still no lock. Going back to the 4.03 because I locked within 10 seconds...
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Yeah, 4.03 seems to be the most stable for this ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rdw55a:
I have been running the 4.03 ever since I got my Inspire and have never changed it. I have flashed a lot of different roms but it has worked fine with them all. Never have had any GPS or any other problems. Like they say, If it aint broke-Don't fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Ok I know a few post back I was asking about kernels but now I'll admit this kernel is pretty good. Glad I kept it.

Looking for the next update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] V3ng:
After a day of this, I am loving it!

Issues so far:

1. Google Goggles has a corrupt display in the camera when you want so snap a barcode, or whatever. Pop into settings whilst the camera is on, then back out of the settings, and it's fine.

2. Stock browser back button leaves the app rather than going "back". I use Opera anyway, so no biggie for me.

3. Corrupt fonts in the Play Store listings, but fixed after a reboot.

I will try and do more debugging/screenshots etc if any of these are new.

(Desire HD)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:
I'm using this rom as my daily rom with no issue at all. You must get to try it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
I had the same problem last night using Goggles and the camera, the photo preview was corrupt, but the photo after it was taken was fine. This was consistent after a few more attempts on barcodes, wine labels etc, but never had any problems finding the items correctly. Just a corrupt preview.
[HTC Inspire 4G] V3ng:
Yes, exactly that!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghostofcain:
No further discussion needed, all 3 of your issues are known about.
[HTC Inspire 4G] V3ng:

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
1) Yea atm we use a hack using gingerbread blobs for the camera, unfourtantly i cannot support anything other than stock camera app. There will probably be issues with any 3rd party apps that use the Camera

2) never had this problem, back button always goes back to previous page for me...if you have 'enable back button to kill' make sure your not holding it down to long.

3) known issue in the issue tracker. Just enable 'back button to kill' and then just kill whatever app, problem will go away.

And as posted above,

ALWAYS

check issue tracker before posting (as instructed in the OP)

For the white on white, just goto Settings->Apps->All, Force close the app then clear the apps data

The reason for the issue tracker is to keep down on repeated post like this, that way its not asked and answered over and over and over
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Check bug tracker on the Google code website. It's in the first post. Check there first because the white/white email is known.

Was wondering if all the fixes in br3 test are kernal related or rom. If rom is the framework and systemui changed much. I spent a lot of time modding these two apps and would like to keep the look of phone as is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As always, most updates are to the rom. Since this rom is built off AOSP master, framework will have changes from release to release. But as far as SystemUI goes, not so much in this release. You can see all changes on my github... https://github.com/aospX . But the biggest change is the whole rom is compiled with a different toolchain (and different compiler flags/optimizations), so alot of differences between BR2-BR3
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
I did the latest radio dated for 8/8/11
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
So I could use my existing systemui file and only have to re-mod the framework file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Honestly, I would just redo it all...especially with the compiler changes + flags/optimizations, because the whole framework/SystemUI (actually the whole rom), has been compiled differently. But you can try just using your SystemUI if you want, but no promises...if you run into any kind of issues, then make sure you can reproduce it on a full clean wipe (without your custom SystemUI/framework)..
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
Alright thanks I have had no issues with any of the builds you've produced other than know issues. Keep up the great work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
wait, is this a test version or a release version??

u havent updated the thread title or ur download website(google)

cant wait for the release build.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Hahah same here i was like F yeah! New release lol..

? Though I have been seeing starting to pop up with jelly bean and I was browsing. The Android app and game thread and came across Google ears. Now I know existz talked about there is some JB stuff but not much but was wondering could that be possible to run its just a widget its like sound hound.

I just made the jump today from AR31 to Test 3. The performance is amazing. Thanks so much for all the work you put in Existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
So ive finally got AOSP master + JellyBean webkit/skia merged in.. We was using webkit/skia/v8/chromium from CodeAurora, which i believe was causing the text turning white with GMail/Email..etc.., so hopefully this fixes it. Im not 100% that was the cause, but the issue started right when i merged from CAF. But now we will be using AOSP/JellyBean webkit/skia, so i will have another test up tomorrow for you guys to test.

I was hoping to have final up by now, but I ran into these changes and then had to get everything merged in and to build, so that took up some time. Plus we have had some bad storms here the last 2-3 days and electric has been off and on...so its been a little time consuming. But i will get one more test up tomorrow for you guys with JellyBean webkit, then get a final up

And before every asks, we don't have full JellyBean source yet.. The source for webkit was pushed to AOSP master since it was part of the preview and is under GPL, so full commit history was pushed to master branch..(at least that's the reasoning I've read on aosp msg board). So we still don't have full source yet, just webkit

BR3-test3 Radios

This is a chart of my trials with some radios no the new BR3-test3... Still not happy with the out come...

I didnt test bandwidth only looked at the signal strength while testing GPS since the GPS is really the problem with the BR3-test3.

X Four Best I Found

Now i am testing all of this away from home, so if someone could go and check the 4 that i found to be the best that would be great. I installed both the RIL and the Radios with each and then again with just the RIL from 4.03 and the Radio from each to see how it went and every thing started acting up. It was getting late and i think the GPS Satellites are just going into hiding or something...

But anyway i never seemed to have this problem with BR2 and so i am just wondering what is so different about the Linaro Code that messes with the Radio... Its really frustrating.

I think i will be trying 4.06_M tomorrow to see if i can get the GPS to stick because i am so disappointed with 4.03's signal quality. I really with 4.28 would pick up GPS at all, i got it to once but i guess it was a fluke and i can't reproduce it again maybe i was using some random RIL??

P.S. Existz the Android Version is currently 4.0.4.0.4.0.4 and it's driving me crazy every time i check the baseband.

I wanted to point out to those building from my source who want to use the new 'ics-devel' branch based off aosp master, who have already repo init using normal ics branch, just doing repo init -u git://github.com/aospX/android.git -b ics-devel and syncing might not switch everything over, so to be safe what you can do is delete everything in the .repo folder EXCEPT the projects folder, make sure to keep it, then just re-run

repo init -u git://github.com/aospX/android.git -b ics-devel

repo sync

And then it will re-sync everything and switch to the new branch (keeping the projects folder keeps it where it doesnt have to fully re-sync all the repos over again, then checks out to the specified branch, in this case ics-devel)...so..

delete everything in .repo folder except 'projects'
repo init -u git://github.com/aospX/android.git -b ics-devel
repo sync

then you will be on the new branch and ready to build..

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch aospx_ace-userdebug
make -j4 aospx

I just wanted to point this out that way those who want to build from it actually gets checked out to the correct branch, and not just building from the normal 'ics' branch.. ive had times where it just stayed on the old branch, this is just an extra step to be 100% certain... if it shows BUILD_ID=OPENMASTER when you run the build command then your fine and can disregard all the above.., but if it still shows BUILD_ID=ICS-MR1, then it didnt switch and you can do the above to get switched over
