The only display related change I remember between those 2 builds in his git was the one where he asked you why you reverted something when it worked for him and you said you were getting in line with CAF.

That might not be the problem though.

Or it may...I don't remember it well, but I think a certain line was reverted back to c2d composition...but none of the builds even come with the driver for copybit? I've only seen it in sense leaks. (copybit.7x30.so)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
The display change your talking about shouldnt be related, that commit was only added like the night before LC asked me that, then was reverted the next day (both added/removed in CAF upstream), so if that was the issue then it would have acted like this before the commit. Which some of the bigger things that I was thinking might be it was, the change from mdp to dyn composition or the new gpu changes in kernel.. But we have tried an older kernel with no luck, as well as changing back to mdp composition in build.prop. Neither seemed to fix it. There were some changes to touchscreen driver, which I still need to test that a little bit more

How do I go about activating tethering? I have tried the app Wifi Tether, but it always starts with errors and I cannot get it to broadcast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Settings->More (under Wireless and Networks)->Tethering and Portable Hotspot ..

I use it and the Bluetooth tethering all the time, both work great...no need for 3rd party app
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Doesn't AT&T notice, or do you have a tethering plan?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
If you use it excessively you will get a nasty-gram from att eventually. But for spot usage and emergency use I've never ran into problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Does the native wifi tethering allow multiple devices to connect and share the internet or is it only 1 device?

Over 3 hours and 25 mins screen time. Excellence!

The only software I am having an issue with on AR28 is scrabble. It freezes the phone, then the phone does a reboot.

You have done a great job on this ROM, it is very impressive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] deeteroderdas:
I've set mine up as a hotspot for road trips, and haven't had any problems with all the family devices being connected...
[HTC Inspire 4G] guy4even:
Me too, I have random freezes with occasional reboots may be 5-6 times a day or more. Sometimes, I just have to pull out the battery and restart. The battery life is ok for me, but this is the only ICS for which temple run works! Only if there were no freezes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
In the last few days I've only really had any reboots in maps. I used but a lot for directions this weekend and it maybe froze and restarted once every five or six times I used it. Maps and gps was a bit buggy on updating, especially if I used yelp or something, it would try to use my last GPS location and not triangulate me via cell towers. Slightly annoying but oh well.

I also did a dirty flash from 26 to 28 and don't have any other issues really.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sportscrazed2:
Weird bug time is stuck at 9:07 in top right but is fine in clock app as well as lock screen.

@stavros3006 or anyone with stuttering homescreen issue

Can you try pulling /system/lib/libbcc.so from AR26 and try it with AR28 and let me know if it fixes the issue? (make sure persmissions are correct and reboot). We have to use a prebuilt libbcc.so since we started using Linaro 12-01 toolchain (as it broke livewallpaper, so originally we compiled it with stock android toolchain), but here recently the issue was fixed by Linaro so i updated the lib and compiled it with Linaro 12-03 (if I compile full rom it breaks auto rotate, so only lib was compiled with 12-03, the rest is compiled with 12-01), not sure if it would cause this or not, but worth a shot
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Sure thing, I'll try it right away! Will let you know in 20 minutes or so.

Nope ex, still the same. No effect at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Thanks...well, I'm clueless...only thing I can think of is something from AOSP master...which would be almost impossible tracking down, unless the issue was pinpointed more and specified to a specific cause.. But I'll keep trying/thinking of a few things
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I think its odd it only affected some and not all... my wife and I don't experience the stutter at all ...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea I don't either (which is making it 100x harder to eliminate cause I can't troubleshoot it myself). I have no clue on this one
[HTC Inspire 4G] holeindalip:
Is it just people with inspires that are experiencing stutters or are desire owners seeing it too?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Both, apparently same thing happened to LCs rom after a certain update
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I have it on Inspire, but as I said earlier, in time it gets better. Homescreens are almost smooth now after several days, but not as in AR26
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprhr0:
usb wifi tether didnt work for me.. seems to be a common issue with the ICS roms i tried yesterday.. good job anyways I cannot wait till everyone is out of the alpha stage, I just love how my phone seems to get faster with each version of android.. unlike my old iphone that seemed to slow down more and more with each upgrade.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I cant do much without a logcat log, if you can post a log of the issue...it will help get it fixed quicker
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
I have to say I am getting abysmal battery life. I took the phone off the charger this morning at 830 at 100%. It is now 415 and I'm at 4%!!! This is with moderate use: Sending some texts, facebook and a few phone calls. Its getting pretty ridiculous since my phone just pretty much dead almost all the time.

I see others have reported they are getting great life. I would like to see how? I have everything all turned off or turned down that I dont need. Maybe its just different from phone to phone? I would HATE to go to another ROM because I absolutely LOVE this one but the terrible battery life is starting to get to me. Hopefully it gets better with the next release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Battery has been great for me, usually have 30-40% left after full day of use..and that's with moderate usage (100+ txt, few emails, surfing xda app all day + browser, play a few games from time to time (nothing drastic), couple phone calls and usually hook a line out to my cars CD player to listen to music. ) which that's a typical days use and I still get 30-40% left..and that's with sync on, plus i usually just use data most of the time but when I'm home I sometimes use wifi.

A lot of things come into play when comparing battery life...for example, not all radios work the same on every device, it all depends on the location...so maybe try a different radio. Also depending on the radio, service can drain battery quick...if its setting there constantly trying to search for a signal it will drain pretty quick. Then certain apps, depending on the app...if an app is constantly checking for updates, or constantly sending/receiving data (plus if in a low signal area its gonna make it worst), Then CPU usage, if an app is constantly using CPU in background or something, then that could drain it....etc..etc u get my point.. so its really hard to compare battery life with someone elses. The only thing I can support is how the rom runs completely stock, any other app or whatever it may be is on u guys, just to many variables comes into play and makes it impossible for me to support, troubleshoot or whatever..So I recommend doing a full clean wipe and see how it does without anything else installed. Then start replacing apps one at a time and see how battery life is in between...then go from there. But i can only support how this rom runs completely stock (the way it is after a full clean wipe, nothing else.)

But usually (99%) of the time if the rom and/or kernel is causing something, then it happens to everyone..otherwise there's something else coming into play (ie. Something you have that someone else doesn't..ie a specific app or something, or a certain setting). But if its the rom/kernel then it will more than likely do it with everyone and on a clean install without anything else installed
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
It's not the rom that's killing your battery. Download an app called BetterBatteryStats on xda. I'd be willing to bet it's an app not designed to work well with ICS causing the phone not to sleep correctly. Look in the partial wakelock tab to see which one is causing the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprhr0:
existz im not too worried as of yet.. Ill probably do some reflashing tomorrow. then Ill get you a catlog..
[HTC Inspire 4G] skaroger867:
just want to say thanks for the newest version. keep up the amazing work
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Mic fixes work :)

Camera launches, doesn't FC, but I have this issue where my images are messed up in the top left corner. It takes part of another image and adds it to the one I just took. See (here). This also happened on AR15. Tried clearing data and a FDR and still didn't work.

I also can't restore any apps from TiBu (data restore works, ie accounts), but installing from the market doesn't work either. Did not have this on AR 15. Also tried a FDR, and updating busybox.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Camera issue is normal, just a glitch with camera hack...happens on all ICS roms. As for TiBu and not being able to install from market, im not sure.., I can install from Market fine..

Anyone else have installing from TiBu/Market issues?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Oops on the camera issue. Didn't realize THAT was the ICS camera issue :o

As for TiBu, I'm going to install AR16 again without adding in TiBu as a system app, although I always do that. Maybe it was a wonky flash? I'll report back soon.

Edit: reflash fixed TiBu issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I need a double confirmation on static fixed with BT calls before I can mark it fixed in issue tracker, so if someone else who can verify this would let me know, id appreciate it :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lazerus06:
Still camera work great for me.

Video camera still doesnt work for me though
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
I've used BT calling several times and it works fine now. No static at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
For those who want to use LiveWallpapers, you can copy /system/lib/libbcc.so from AR12 and copy it to /system/lib/ and they will work again.. Make sure permissions match the others (rw-r-r i believe)
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Can someone check whether or not they can sync their contacts with their bluetooth device. I have a blueant ST3 device in my truck and can't sync my contacts. I get the bluetooth share sevice stopped on the phone. It won't auto-sync or manually sync. Existz knows about this but I'm trying to find out if it's just me or if others are having this problelm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dlpatter:
BT good, thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] pclaunch:
I am using pudding camera and it works but the pictures are messed up 80 percent of the time. Are the camera issues just inherent in the camera software its self, or is there some way to fix the image issues on a 3rd party app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
This happens with stock camera or with 3rd party app, whats used right now is just a hack to get camera working, .. This probably wont be fixed until a better revision of the Camera HAL is released by someone whos working on it. I know Twisted was working on it some, but not sure how far hes gotten
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Wow 103 downloads and not one person can see if their contacts sync with their BT.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
I would have checked for you but my wife's got the car with BT. I can check it in the morning and let you know what I find out. I think it synced all of my contacts on an earlier build fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ethere:
Still having issues with the keylights working properly. Adjusting the brightness does turn them on, but only until the screen locks, then it's back the way it was. I think this is an ICS bug because I've seen this posted in other threads, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yes, its known issue on most of the other ICS builds. You can use auto brightness and they will work correctly.., but if you turn auto brightness off, then it quites lighting back up after unlocking screen.., you have to toggle auto brightness to get it working again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brorex:
I just checked the contacts syncing and it did not with my wifes vehicle hope that helps also no static here

PS I just bought an inspire today rooted and loaded this rom on it thankyou a lot for the hard work it is working quite well for me once again thankyou

[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
For me, I used 28 over a few days and charged it fully before achieving my result. I have found a screen tike of over 3 hours to be normal using ics.

Looking at your battery graph, did you have a period when the phone was "awake"? That will drain a battery quickly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hellot1M:
Ok I can't seem to get 28 to boot. 26 booted up just fine but even flashing over 26 still wouldn't boot 28. Just stays on boot screen. I decide to cook a meal while waiting and when I came back it was still on the same screen. I am using the blue recovery 5.0.2.7. Am I supposed to be using a different recovery for this build? Yes I have wiped everything 3 times the only thing I have not done was wipe SD card. I have downloaded the rom twice and md5 matches
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Not sure I've ever gotten 3+ hours on one charge even back on gingerbeast last year. Do you have sync off or other crazy settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Sync off, as is wifi and data. Only turn them on when needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lightdub:
Regular battery is only 1230 mah so its not too great to start with. I got a 1600 mah battery from amazon for about 10$usd and it gave me an extra few hours of use. Just putting that out there if you think the battery life sucks. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
Oddly enough, the stuttering is not present in Twistedumbrella's latest builds.

I don't think it's something from AOSP master since Lord's original 7.1t3 was 4.0.4, yet did not have the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
AOSP Master and 4.0.4_r1 release tag (which is what both Twisted and LC used) are not the same, AOSP Master is ahead of 4.0.4_r1 release tag. But LC uses some Master commits in his
[HTC Inspire 4G] dhtlarmon:
Its amazing what has improved since I last tried this rom. Since the camera works flawlessly (happy dance) I'm using it as a daily driver. I did have 3 crashes today however, all with google nav. My apologizes if its in the bug tracker, this mainly just a big thanks! Works so nicely with nova launcher (this is all a clean install of AR 28 btw). Your roms continue to impress me! Rockin 4.0.4 :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
1600? How is that physically possible?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
Stickers on the battery. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
+1

Those sizes are sometimes bogus, not really regulated and manufacturer can just put whatever they feel like on battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lightdub:
take them both apart; they are different. might not be exactly 1600mah but it last longer than the 1230mah thats for sure.

Back on topic guys.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
Ex...can I make, a what i deem, a stupid request? an Updated Market apk built into the ROM? for whatever reason when I flash its the old market and takes about 10-15min for it to update on its own. Its not a big deal and I know you have bigger and better things to worry about but its the little things that make me smile and your ROM def makes me smile. Cheers
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Or you can backup the updated apk before you wipe and reinstall it after flashing the ROM.

Don't be lazy, ALWAYS full wipe!
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
i do backup (via tibu...i know yall arent fans of tibu but i like it lol) and I can't get tibu downloaded until the market updates...PIA
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
On the official TiBu website, there's a link to download the latest apk. You can just save that to your SD card and you're in business.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Forgot to backup the backup software? haha, sorry man, had to laugh at the irony. ya as stated you can grab it from the website :)

Angry Birds issue...

Firstly- I'm running AR28 and did a dirty install from AR27. I did do a full wipe to AR27 and I believe a quick flash of AR28 over AR27 was allowed in this case (without causing issues, supposedly). And I know there have been issues with games and such but I just thought I'd throw in my experience and see if I can help get to the cause in any way...

When my phone is on and at least 1 or 2 apps have been opened since the last reboot (so 99% of the time) if I open Angry Birds it will freeze after the title screen, before I can even press "start". It freezes for between 4-15 seconds and then dims for a second and then restarts itself... (I've only tried it with Angry Birds - Seasons, if that matters).

BUT, after the restart (or from a normal restart initiated by me) if I boot the game up before I do anything else it will work fine...

So... I downloaded alogrec from the market and ran it while I reproduced the issue... and I posted the logcat (I believe that's what it is called) here...

http://paste2.org/p/1975703

I tried using the alogcat app from the market but since I can never go in and save the file (as it freezes then restarts my phone) I had to use an app that just kept recording...

Hope this wasn't confusing and I'm not looking for a fix as much as I'm hoping anything about my story or logcat might help a dev or user in some way.

Thanks again for the great rom.

existz,

Where does platform_frameworks_base / core / java / android / provider / Settings.java end up after the build process? I'm wondering if it's in an apk that I can decompile to try and add a center clock option. There are other files that dsmitty has for the option as well.

Or does this need to been done during the build process?

Edit

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

These are the dsmitty files I was refering to: https://github.com/dsmitty166/

I am hoping this can be done by editing the files after you release them instead of trying to build it from source, which I don't know how to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Most likely you will need to edit before compiling.. To be honest I'm not to familiar with the whole decompiling/backsmali stuff (never had to do it since I've always built from full source)..so I'm not sure what all can be edited that way (as I know there's just some stuff that can't be done without compiling.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hellot1M:
thought i would share what this guy has done. its a custom touch based installer within the cwm zip. read post 7863. he explains what all he has planned for this new way of flashing roms. its pretty neat. gives you full control over how you flash your rom

[HTC Inspire 4G] Superman8180:
First, I have to say that this ROM is awesome! I love the feel of it, and it's definitely my preferred DD for the Inspire. Unfortunately I've been having some issues with a couple of games that prevent me from using it. Not sure if anyone else has had these issues or not, but thought I'd mention them and see if it's an issue that has already been addressed, or one that could be.

I would add that my first time running this ROM was with AR25, then upgraded to AR26 when it was released. I originally noticed my issue on 25 with the game Tiny Village, it would freeze up almost every time I played and require a battery pull to restart, or on rare occasions would freeze up then reboot itself. I didn't think much of it at the time and figured, it's an alpha release, so there are going to be bugs.

The sad thing, I've had to revert to ARHD so I could play w/o the freezes. And yes, I'm aware of how sad it is that I'm missing out on this ROM because of Tiny Village, but the darn game has me hooked...

The other issue was with Angry Birds Space, though I have suspicions that it was an issue with the game itself and not the ROM, but I seemed to have an issue with the touch screen when zoomed all the way out. I did not have this problem on my wifes stock Inspire, or my Kindle Fire running CM9...

Well, sorry for the long post... hopefully someone can help me out... I haven't tried AR28 yet, I did notice that with 27 there were some fixes for other games that may also have addressed the issues I've had.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yea Evervolv uses a custom touch installer on their N1 rom, its pretty neat...you can choose different launchers, themes, kernels, addons...etc..all during installation in recovery...kind of reminds you of a Windows installer or something. Might try to dig up some info on it later or something.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
between the changes in AR25 and AR28 (an ICS version update, and other major updates to the ROM) I would suggest doing a full wipe, fresh install of AR28 and see if you're still having the problem with the game...if you're still having the problem, do a logcat and post up here for Ex to take a look at

Having a few "hanging" isues

Is this a product of ICS not being compatible with all software yet -

Good Messaging - Use this with work and it hangs constantly when choosing a contact name or scrolling a message. Continually get the wait or force close screen.

Monsoon Vulkano - Program having to continually verify install and video pauses often.

I notice a few other apps seem to "hang" at various points. Again, this may be a product of ICS incompatibility, but I'm unsure.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:

Request for a few Add-Ons

Hi Existz,

First of all you and you team (If you have one) have been doing a great job with this build.

I have been using this ROM and it has proven good for me after you fixed the mute button ( use a lot while on Conference calls and client meetings ).

Can there be a bandwidth for a few Add-Ons like below?

1. Internet Pass-Thru feature.

2. Gingerbread Style Phone layout keyboard for typing messages and emails.

3. FM Radio ( not the internet radio )

Regards,

Adar
[HTC Inspire 4G] Galaen:
Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but search the marketplace for Gingerbread Keyboard. It will have the bigger buttons. Works great for me. I don't know about the others.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
For FM Radio use Spirit FM app from play store, select ICSPlus in settings.
