Yeah seemed really slow so went back to touchpal, so much quicker!

I literally just wiped and re flashed, and upon the google sign in, the keyboard came up, and behold - the S button didnt work for a few tries... WTH?!?!

Any suggestions why this may be happening to me? :( kinda upset its just me lol

Thx
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
May sound silly, but are you sure it's not just a slightly dirty screen/ finger? I've found the DS is very susceptible to dirt not letting the screen pick up inputs. Far more so than other touchscreen phones I've used.
[HTC Desire S] steelbeans:
I'll give the screen a wipe anyway, but havent had this on any other rom, seems like an input register fault really. Hope the next version released this weekend will sort it :) Cheers though.
[HTC Desire S] Hungry hustler:
Does anybody know if/how the google search window can be removed/deactivated?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Well I'm using CM9 right now but I think it's just the same.try settings> launcher> homescreen> search bar
[HTC Desire S] Hungry hustler:
Doh.......it's the searchbar....:banghead:
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
In terms of features is this better or CM9?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
ok did not read enough carefully. Do you mean the window popping up when pressing the search button?
[HTC Desire S] Hungry hustler:
Nope dude, the search bar was what i was looking for. Thx again.

When I flash inverted Gmail and restart the phone gmail is not there at all
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I know its an issue...I ll release one soon today or tom...with compatible inverted apps present by default and a few tweaks put in...:)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Hello,

I've just noticed that I'm having problems with data on this rom, when I turn wifi off its somehow turning data off too even though data says its on in the menus. When you turn off wifi the blue fan symbol disappears as normal but my blue data symbol goes grey as well meaning no data. Any one got any experience with before?

*EDIT* Just flashed the the kernel in the 3rd Post and data is working as it should now.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
OK guys, Ice Cold Sandwich is dying, but thanks to Tectas there is pure AOKP port to Desire S, no porting from another device, just compiled from scratch based on latest CM9 and latest AOKP. You can take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616719

I've already moved on, it's very similar to ICS, but there are more settings on ROM Control and Tectas is going to implement some more (like 2G/3G toggle) just tonight.

Anyway big thanks vampire and Rapier for great port!
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Can we update from this rom to that without a wipe?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
They are both on a similiar base, so you can try it. Do a cache wipe though.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
You can get away with wiping cache when switching between any ICS ROMs although you may find it affect performance sometimes

[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I've made clean install for sure.

But you can try and you can always make clean install.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Is it better than this like is it worth moving?
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
It's up to you, but it's matter of time when LorD ClockaN stops developing ICS and focus to his new device. After that it's completely dead.

And here are my few remarks:

- fixed showing XDA site on stock browser

- working stock camcorder

- Tectas implemented 2G toggle

- working tweaks

- few more settings in ROM Control

- also using latest CM9 and AOKP sources

- and most important thing to me, if you are missing something and ask Tectas, it's possible he would add it or fix it

But maybe here is place to continue with own DesireS Ice Cold Sandwich based on Tectas work. E.g. replace terrible boot animation, include gapps and add more customization.
[HTC Desire S] Shamz84:
Hi Guys,

over the weekend my phone and rebooted a few times.. I notice when playing music using the Play Music(Google Music) app using a Bluetooth the phone sometimes would reboot, but not all the time, i couldn#t find anything in common when each reboot Occured.

Also when using the Google Navigation app, the phone rebooted around 15-20 minutes of use...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
It's normal. We aren't using the proper ICS kernel, so there are these issues.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Sorry guys nothing abandoned...

Was a bit busy with some personal issues...

A new super smooth stable version should be out soon...:)

Reboots is due to cm9 kernel under heavy graphic stress or any stress for that matter and should be solved when we have better kernel...

Tiamat a bit more stable but a bit outdated...:)

Thats about it...

Thanx for the support and patience...:)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Eagerly waiting for 7.4 stable. I've just ported and played with test 10 and it's great. Then I have to decide if I stay with this ROM or I move to the AOKP ROM built by Tectas. There are small differences between them but both are great for daily use.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
You can modify Tecta's base, e.g. add gapps, themes and such things and continue with Ice Cold Sandwich. :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
In fact this is what I did. I took test 10 and used camera libs/files from Tectas, also audio libs. The only thing I kept from CM9 is the kernel.

Continuing with IceColdSandwich is another story though. If Lord will discontinue it, there's no way I can port further. There are some things I like more in IceColdSandwich for the moment (like the dialer screen that has bigger transparent area compared to stock) but Tectas AOKP has some things added also (like the option to hide ADB notif icon) and the advantage that is WIP so new features will be added and bugs fixed.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
No offend, but this would be senseless, ics is more then gapps and themes ;)

I could try to build IceColdSandwich for you from source (have already thought about it i must confess) (for sure only if i get permissions from Lord Clockan to do it), but if i would do, i have to say in first place that i wouldn't push it further except of syncronizing it with the latest aokp and cm base.

If this would be ok for you i will ask for permissions.
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
This sounds interesting. Do u think it will be worth all the trouble.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I guess it won't be much trouble (but i can't promise for sure), because i already got the working base.

The only thing that could make trouble in future is keeping his modifications, without losing new features/fixes and the other way round.

But this is still theory, could be that i face issues at first stance and also never.

Edit: Another option would be to show someone how to build it from source ;)
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Take the other option and keep with your rom Tectas! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
This i would anyways, that's the reason why i just would "update" this one ;)

But maybe you're right and i should stay on mine completely, still much left to do there^^

[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
What else is on Ice Cold Sandwich? I thought, it's lightly modified by LorD ClockaN with his own kernel (unuseful for us) but didn't noticed big changes. Only Browser app works a little better as I described. Is there something really significant to port it from his sources?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
IceColdSandwich isn't a aokp rom, it is cm9 with parts of aokp and aditional modifications at many parts.

And the kernel is only for the dhd, lord clockan tried it to merge the changes he made to the dhd kernel into the saga kernel, but it didn't work and he don't wanted to build one from scratch, here is the cm9 kernel used.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's a combo of CM9 and AOKP (mostly CM9). The thing is, this ROM is almost dead. As posted numerous times, LC no longer plans to update this, since he got a One X, just one or two final updates. But i guess we have AOKP & Cm9 built from source, this may no longer be needed. It was really awesome ROM though :)

Sent from a device waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I haven't noticed so many changes, in the fact it seems to me very similar to your rom. But the biggest problem with his rom is almost dead project.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:

[HTC Desire S] d4k-pho3nix:
Thanx a lot , but there is a difference than your's and rapier's one ? Who's must take ?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Vampire do you have any issues with BT on your build? That is, problems in connecting to car-kit or headsets? I flashed several versions and I'm not sure anymore which port I have...yours or mine :D

And I would like to take BT files/libs from Tectas AOKP or CM9 to test if there are the same issues. Do you know which files are those?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I have kept the base as IceColdSandwich...which is more AOKP now but with a few CM9 toppings...So guess BT should work...As AOKP doesn't seem to have BT issues...:)
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I installed Vampires version after a full wipe yesterday. Got some extreme slowdowns today, just as with Tectas' AOKP rom. Otherwise working great so far.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Thats strange os i never had a single...love dat fact...can you set overclock speed to 1100 and try...It shouldnt and a reboot :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Or maybe overvolt by 25?

PS. klicked thanks accidentally

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
I haven't had any slowdowns, but I've had one freeze so far, and I've had to do a battery pull. The three button restart doesn't work when my device freezes, in case anyone suggests doing that. I set the max CPU to 1209MHz, but have changed it back to 1024MHz, to check if the freezes persist.

The time on the home screen and notification bar still gets stuck, but fixed by setting the time again, or a reboot. :)

And the camera works perfectly at 5mp! :D :thumbup: The camcorder still stops working, but personally, I don't take many videos, so it's not too big a deal for me. :p

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
If you'll wait few minutes it'll reboot, you don't have to pull battery. You can try 768MHz to avoid freezing, it'll be slower but nothing significant, I've tried Google Maps and Star Chart and no freeze so far.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Keep at 1100...:)

Freezes ummm bound to exist as kernel still developing...just don't overs stress d phone in terms of apps or graphical games..all should be fine :)

Time...reboot should fix it...happens sometime :)

Video you can try Video Illusion from market...
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
Yep, I had freezes with other ics builds as well. I don't do anything hectic with my phone; I don't play any games on it. It just froze yesterday while I tried to log on to the LinkedIn app, but no problems since then. :)

I'll try waiting a bit longer before I pull the battery, should my device freeze again.

[HTC Desire S] lal000r:
This is the most bug-free and daily-use ICS-ROM I could find for Desire S - thank you.

I'm very happy with it except one thing:

Every second or third time I leave areas with wifi, the data connection doesn't come up by itself again. I can't even send SMS or phone someone. Then I have to switch to airplane mode and back.

This is really annoying me since several versions of IceColdSandwich. Already tried different radio-versions with no success.

Has anyone noticed a similar problem? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I know its a known issue across all ICS roms...seems more kernel issue...but i ll see what i can do...it bugs me a lot too...:)

By today eve a newer version should be up :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Vampire, have you noticed the differences between AOKP builds/ports regarding BT? IceColdSandwich is the one I like most and has all the features I love, still there are problems with BT.

To check: enter BT settings, rename the device (default name is BlueZ) then turn BT off. After turning back on, the name is not preserved, it's reverted back to BlueZ. OK, that's not a big issue, but this is how I check if BT has problems or not. In fact the problems are more than just the name... The search for devices is weird, showing the BT ID of the devices instead of their names (name appear after a while) and most annoying is that after initially paring with a device, after BT is turned of then on again the pairing cannot be perfomed anymore till you restart phone. As I use the BT car-kit alot, this is a big problem. Each time before I had to connect to car-kit, I have to restart phone, than initiate the pairing process again.

This is happening only on this ROM (both your ports or mine). On Tectas's AOKP build, blindndumb port, CM9 and so on...issue is not present BT is working as normal. Why I'm not using one of those you may say...well, it's because this ROM has more options and tweaks, Blackened UI mod is designed for it (and I became addicted to it :) ), camera works better, better graphic HW support (tile rendering enabled, smoother and faster)...and so on. I've tried other builds regularly but every time I've come back to this ROM.

I've tried replacing some BT files from system/lib, system/lib/hw, system/etc/bluetooth, system/lib/bluez-plugin and etc/firmware but it seems is not enough or I couldn't find all files. After replacing the files BT was not even starting or it was performing as before. Since for porting we're using CM9 kernel and since other ports have BT working and in CM9 also is working, I'm pretty sure we could make it work on this port as well. Let me know if I can help in any way
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Sry for a delayed reply...

Completely agree...somehow still find this faster and more stable with no slowdowns....:)

I got your point and i tried porting a few files from aokp...but it seems still doesn't work...

Its lack of bt headset that affects my testing but at d same time understand your pains...

Somehow i feel its more to do with the rom...somewhere its so tightly coupled that changing files ain't working...don't know i tried all d possible bt related files and yet have no solution...

Neways was just waiting for the newer build and now that test10 is up will port 1 today :)

Sry buddy and am try my best to understand whats messing up bt...:)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No worries, I know everyone is doing it's best to help and give back something to this community. test 10 is great, I took it already and ported, tried to change the BT files as you did but with the same result.

Now I've flashed latest CM9 nightly by nk111, has not so many customization options compared to AOKP or IceColdSandwich but has some good points too. My biggest issue with CM ROMs in the past and every time I've tried, was that they were the ones that made the phone hot under moderate usage, thing that never happened with other ROMs. Since we were using CM9 kernels in porting, I don't think heat is directly related to kernel.

I'll switch back to IceColdSandwich as soon as 7.5 stable is out, maybe earlier if I find more bugs or issues with the current CM9 release. Or more likely when I'll miss the speed and smoothness of this ROM :) Maybe we'll get lucky and BT issues will be solved

Hi Vampire,

Gr8 rom, so far the fastest rom on my Desire S.

Anyway, can we expect any changes, especially latest kernel?

Best regards.

Sometimes ,after a call, the touch screen don't works. I need TO remove battery. Anyone has the same problem?

Not exacly. I habe sometimes fc After a call, but the phone dont freeze. It just closes the phone app
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
There's no need to remove battery, just press vol up and down + power button for few seconds and it'll reboot. Also you can try switch to another governor, it could help.

Upload Done...Enjoy...Gn & Sd :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Not so fast :)... 8.0 final is out, Lord just uploaded it several hours ago. I'm playing with it. Unfortunately I'm on a 3G/HSDPA connection and cannot upload

Later edit: Hm...I was able to run it with the 3.0 stock kernel. Dunno what will improve this or if it will improve anything at all since the drivers are not build for this kernel (maybe a dev can say more about this) but at least is running. I'll try to use also camera libs from a sense ROM to check if it'll work. Maybe we'll get lucky

Too tired to make tries...it boots, but there's no sound. Some audio libs may be needed as well. Back to 8.0 with CM9 kernel
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well the only difference 8.0 and test 19 have is nomenclature...so be rest assured this build is the stable version :)

About kernel 3...i find current kernel good and till we don't have a pure aosp kernel...i actually don't find a need to use kernel 3 from sense and break a few things...For now randoom reboots and stuff too have stabilised...so we can wait for Nexx to work out :)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I couldn't receive a call with 3.0 kernel. also usb mass storage didnt work...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I couldn't test with calls since at that hour it was too late...but I tried to call and I heard nothing. So at least audio is broken when using that kernel. WiFi was working, mobile data (3G/HSDPA) was working, also BT. Didn't checked USB mass storage since I use Dual Mount widget or QtADB.

I agree with vampire, at this point there's no reason for which we should use 3.0 kernel from sense ROMs. CM9 kernel is stable. I even don't use sweep2wake since drains battery more than the other. And even after having an AOSP 3.0 kernel (the one from CM9 for ex) it won't make any difference if we will continue using graphic libs and/or drivers compiled for old kernel. To gain max performance/benefits from a 3.0 kernel, my opinion is that we will have to use that ROM built/ported for that kernel. Not try to put 3.0 kernel on another ROM that's using wrappers for old drivers/libs
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I guess it's just me who has a problem to upgrade from 7.5 to 8. I just wiped cache&dalvik... Stuck to white screen. Flashing F1 kernel v3 did it, but it is as experimental as is... I hope flashing the boot image from cm9 will fix it...
