[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Worked for me, I had to save the new settings and restart the phone for them to take effect. I think it will only work as on (255) or off (less than 255)
[HTC Desire S] ch.armin:
thats exactly what i did! each on 255, saved. restarted. and no backlights
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
First thing to check... Is the light sensor measuring ? Does it show some values on the first row? Or it's showing something like "-1" all the time? If yes, there is a problem. You should first press on "Load defaults" , then modify settings, put 255 on every step. Do not change the number of steps for now, leave it to how many they are by default (I had some issues when I've changed that).

Then check in previous screen (the one from which you go to edit the levels), the "Use custom" is selected. If not, any changes there will not be active. It's not possible that for most of us is working and for you it doesn't. Something there is wrong...
[HTC Desire S] ch.armin:
Sensors : -1 /-1

Screen: disabled

Buttons: -1

well, then something is wrong
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Told you... OK, have you pressed "Load defaults"? Have the sensor start measuring something after this? I had this issue once and I remember pressing "Load defaults" and all were back on-line and working.

How did you flash the ROM? Full wipe or by dalvik/cache wipe only? I'am asking because if you're coming from a different Android version (say Gingerbread) or one that uses a totally different framework (like Sense ROMs for ex), there could be issues. Backup everything (or restore a backup of your previous ROM), then flash again with full wipe. See if the problem is still there
[HTC Desire S] ch.armin:
i flashed it with wipe cach/dalvik cache coming from the 5.1

i set everything like you said, then i turned on the automatic backlight, turn it off. it works! the sensor shows at backlight: 255. it works still after i turn the display off and then on again. it works, but when i restart the phone, it doesnt work!

i think the restart kill something. after restart i have to set the automatic backlight on, then it works again. i can change the screen backlight, ant the button backlights work.

strange thing!

thanks for your help
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Just tested and I have the same issue, the settings don't 'stick'
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
As I understand the feature, it works ONLY when "automatic backlight" is ON. Those are custom levels to be used by automatic lightning. If you turn it off it works but not because of the settings there, it's working based on the "manual" setting of the brightness slider bar. The custom levels should only work when automatic backlight is ON. Even after a restart.

You made me curious. I just restarted the phone, will see what's happening

Later edit: OK, I've restarted and tested. For me it works even after a restart. What I did:

1. Go to Settings-Display-Brightness and make sure "automatic" is selected

2. Go to Custom backlight settings and check ONLY "Use custom". Light sensor filter or other settings should remain unchecked for now

3. Press "Edit other levels", check if sensor is measuring something and alter settings as you need. I've changed also the first 3 steps for display cause it was too dark for my taste.

4. Press back till you're on the homescreen. It should work. Reboot phone...it should work again
[HTC Desire S] ch.armin:
ok. i change my backlight with a custom app, so its not on automatic backlight.

because of that, i think, the restart "kill" my button backlight and i have to turn automatic backlight on and off after a restart, then it works.

thanks for your help to get through this!!

Hey guys, I've installed 5.6 test4 both AOKP & CM9 versions not for single time, but for several,,, but i'm seeing this this..... (see the photo) Can anyone help me saying what's wrong????View attachment 950353
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:

[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Do you mean where it says kernel version?
[HTC Desire S] nipun1110:
No No.. It says android version 4.0.3!!!

EDIT:

Hey guys, I'm so sorry.. I was thinking that it should be something like android 5.xx...such a crazy i'm.. sorry guys...
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
What is wrong with Android 4.0.3? It is Android 4.0.3!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
New tiamat kernel was posted two days ago! Seems to have gone unnoticed. Flashed it and will see about battery drain

EDIT: don't understand how the new battery monitor widget works :(
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Just FYI, no real bug, but vampire's 5.6 test 4 release says Desire HD in "About phone". Rapiers build doesn't. Everything else working fine (coming from 5.1 with wiping (dalvik) caches))
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
That's not a bug, just an entry in build.prop that vampire overlooked. It's just an entry that is shown in About.. You could write almost anything there

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
My market doesn't work. Anybody face this issue?
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I know and edited it, was just FYI... ;).

Croesus: Market problems are happening on different roms. Try to wipe market data or try again later...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Had it today on cyanogen, kill market, wipe market data, afterwards wipe cache and dalvik cache, that solved it for me.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC

When we get kernel 3.0 will games start to work properly and crash the phone and force reboot? Alsu does face unlock work?
[HTC Desire S] mzr9mm:
I have been using version 5.1 since it came out. Other than a couple of random reeboots I really enjoy the rom.

A few days ago I flashed the new Tiamat kernel and I must say that battery life is greatly improved. I was able to get 36 hours of the device with moderate to heavy use.

great work guys!!
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
I'd highly recommend to update to 5.6b4. It's by far better than 5.1 in terms of stability and user friendliness (custom settings etc.).

Btw: what's "a few days ago"? Got the new one already?

http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/031412/saga-tiamat-ics-031412.zip

To all others: Battery life looks way improved with this one. :)
[HTC Desire S] mzr9mm:
Yes, that is the one I am using. I am loving it. I will give 5.6test4 a try today and I will report later on tonight :)
[HTC Desire S] csakthikumar:
Hi guyz,

Is there anyway to set "soft key" backlight always ON rather than using any app like this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&feature=order_history
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
yes. go to System settings > Display > Custom backlight settings > Use custom (check)

then in same menu go to "edit other levels" and under the column called Buttons set value 255 for values 0, 160, 225, 320, 640 and 1280 and push "SAVE&APPLY"

that's it
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
Hi all, I got kinda problem... each time i'm moving from home to another place where i already have registered the wifi network, it won't reconnect automatically... i must turn off wifi and then turn on again... does anyone have an idea for this ?

also, seems that the toggles i already activated in 5.1 aren't anymore in 5.6 test 4, but still there in notification area, if i activate again the ones that are shown, they will appear twice when i have to choose in settings menu from left to right the toggles that are in my notification bar.

I flashed latest Rapier 5.6 test 4 with latest CM9 kernel, coming from vampire's 5.1

thanks for answering,

kind regards

edit : @Rapier : Calendar app isn't working in your latest release, can anyone confirm ? it says it's not installed
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Calendar is working fine here. Have you installed the Gapps package?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
OMG, someone incorporated Quallcom's binaries into LC's source and made this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551493 Claimed to be extremely fast and fixes webkit lag. Can anyone else smell IceColdSandwich v6.0 on the way?? ;)
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
No... Just flashed Rapier's 15th latest CM9 kernel 5.6 test 4...

I thought Gapps were included in the rom, no ?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Actually, calendarGoogle.apk IS in there, you're right... However, it's worth the try, maybe flashing the gapps will help.
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
what's the latest Gapps package ?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:

You always find them in that folder.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Does it have face unlock?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
gps is not working in 5.6test4. it shows the icon in notification bar, but it is not blinking as it should. It says "searching for gps". I've checked gps settings and internal gps is checked... hmmm.... I installed 5.6 on top of 5.1 (wiped cache+dalvik off course)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
No. You find that one separately in the same folder. Not sure if it works correctly though.

Btw: new play store (ex market): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25795010/com.android.vending-3.5.15.apk
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
face unlock doesn't work in this. If you want face unlock, use CM9 Alpha.
[HTC Desire S] tookeuss:
the same for me...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
OK guys, here's the port of this ROM using quallcomm binaries.

What does not work properly...camera has some strange glitches/behaviour. I gues it's my fault, maybe I didn't use the right files and I didn't have the time to play with different camera versions.

What I've tested though was the play of 720p videos WITH HW acceleration. I understood that this was not possible before, only SW acceleration was working. I can tell you it is working great.

The movie I've used is the "serenity trailer" from HERE (if anyone wants to test). I've used MX Player, initially it was set to SW decoder but I've changed it to HW decoder (previously HW decoder was grayed out/unavailable)

About the rest...yes, everything is smooth, but for me it was before too so I can't tell in just a couple of minutes what the differences are. Quadrant gave me the highest score till now (attached). I'm using Google Chrome that was rendering fast before also. If someone is using other browsers or know where the problems were before, he can test and give feedback on this

So for anyone who love to play, here it is...Enjoy

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?g12u61nddlal9pf

If someone manage to change some camera things to make it work properly it'll be great if he posts here the modified ROM or the solution (what files, from what version to include).

Later Edit: I've made some phone calls accidentally and discovered a bug...the mic is not working and you cannot hear the other party well. It seems that I should dig more into this, should take the audio libs for the right ROM. Till then, you can flash this only to check how HW acceleration works. Also since I've restored from backup, I wanted to test the 720p videos on previous 5.6 test 4 ROM...and it works too. Now I'm confused. How can I really tell if the new drivers are included or not. Any way to find out?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Flashing now. Looking forward to this, nice work!

Dolphin was always slow so let's hope this fixes all that
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Please let us know...I'm really curious about this

Also I have the feeling that Gallery is incredibly fast. Thumbnails and everything is displaying almost instantly as well as the redraw in case of zoom/pan photos. Maps panning and zooming is also fast...dunno what else I can test
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Working for me in 5.6test4. I have installed the GPSfix posted a few pages back and the aGPS fix posted in another thread.

Hey Rapier,

Thanks for the fast work in pushing out new updates - I am wondering if you would mind including a MD5 sum with your links, I'm always a bit more worried flashing something if I haven't checked it :-)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Please provide a mirror for Raiper's build with quallcom drivers posted here - http://bit.ly/FPqivv Mediafire is screwing up on me.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Here's a mirror for you all: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c401a6f/n/IceColdSandwich-5.6-qualcomm-signed.zip

Dolphin browser is quicker at rendering pages and so is stock. I can notice an improvement, but i wouldn't say it's as quick as gingerbread. I used xda portal as well as Engadget to test as they seem like fairly heavy pages

Facebook seems to load a lot quicker now and opening the app drawer seems to be smoother now as well.

Will carry on testing
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I was thinking about adding this, but to be honest I never did it so I'm not sure how. I presume there's an application that generates the MD5 sum, I'll look on google for it and try to post this as well

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
On a PC (Windows) I use a program called 'Fastsum', otherwise ES Explorer can also check MD5 for a file, or 4ext Recovery.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Phone rebooted while I was playing sprinkler. Happened on previous version too but I'll test some more games and see

Zombie dash is working fine. Maybe someone could test gta3?

EDIT: random reboot while using dolphin browser.

Another reboot while using dolphin. ROM seems quite unstable. Will have to wait for Lord's build
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I have good news, and bad news. Good news - I got the Face Unlock option to appear in Settings :D:D:D:D:D (see screenshot attached)

Bad news - I used Raiper's qualcomm build in which Front Cam doesn't work so no use :p
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Nice! But wouldn't it be easier to port the incredible s build?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I didn't port anything :p Just added 2 files to raiper's latest build and it worked.
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Maybe just take the cam files from Inc S and push it to your rom, then all should work.

Which files you have to add for face unlock?
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I had to go into location/gps settings and enable internal gps device, as it was disabled after a full wipe flash. Working fine now without any additional patches. Gps fix in a few seconds.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
If anyone is interested in it, here is the quallcom build of rapier with cm9 kernel and working ffc, but without panorama, shrome99 your turn with faceunlock ;)

This is just for test purpose, you can face some major bugs.

Have you made any phone calls? Cause I said in my post that there are some issues with audio
[HTC Desire S] prince87:
Tried this. But could not find HW Decoder in MX Player to test. Also, facing frequent Google Play crashes and reboots.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
When playing a movie, in the upper right corner there is a HW / SW text. Press on it and you can select among them
[HTC Desire S] prince87:
Yes. Tried this. Quite frankly could not figure big difference. Did not try benchmarking so can't really tell. But Google Play app keeps crashing and phone reboots. Tried clearing data, doesnt help. BTW, how to find out if Qualcomm drivers present in ROM ?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
That's the fun part...I don't know :) Just ported a DHD ROM that contains (based on what the author say) them. I was asking the same thing in one of my previous posts
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, tried Tectas' latest build. Front cam works but no face unlock option in settings.....

@Raiper & Tectas - What files did you change?? Just try to attach a complete list, so we can compare and see what the differences are.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

OK, compared both roms. These files are different -

system/lib/hw -

camera.goldfish.so

camera.msm7x30.so

System/lib-

libc.so

libcamera.so

libcamera_client.so

libcameraservice.so

Tectas' build uses these from CM9. @Raiper, did you leave these files untouched while porting?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes. I preserved the ones from the DHD ROM. When I ported it, I've preserved as many files from the DHD ROM because I didn't know exactly which files are corresponding to the quallcomm libs. And camera files were also changed so for the first try I kept them.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
CM9 have front facing camera working with face unlock
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, did try it, but haven't made a call yet, i must confess.

Unfortunately also faced the play store crash, downloads and updates work, also the my app section works for me, but it crashes at typing at in searches sometimes.

Edited my last post.

Swyped from my Desire S far away from my PC (maybe)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Guys, just saw in the DHD thread that we got a working FM radio! And I can confirm that it's working.

Download Spirit FM from Market (sorry... Play Store ^^)

Go to --> settings/audio/method --> qdsp5v2 Plus/ICS.

Ain't that awesome?!?!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Will upload a new version of the latest cm9 build of rapier without qualcomm libs, merged them into it, faced no more play store crashes, sprinkle i.e. is also working for me, calls also working.

If you want to know what has changed, just use diff at the system folder at the original cm9 build and the system folder of this one.

The changed files are in /system/lib & /system/etc/firmware.

[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Will it have working face unlock?

Not yet, haven't taken a look at it, will do it in the evening, if shrome99 isn't faster^^

Sim Lock issue

I am facing an issue with automatic sim lock. It happens at random. All the apps that need to run in background, run. However, I get lock screen where I need enter PIN. In the case of disabled lockscreen, phone network goes off and I need to search for mobile phone networks (GSM) and select one. Is anyone else facing this issue ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I don't think you'll get far with face unlock. It seems to be some large changes that take place. I think the two solutions would be to ask nexx or just port the incredible s build that already has it

I'm sort of new to the AOSP ICS scene...

Currently using CM9 ...

Did you restore it with titanium?

If yes, delete it and download from market.

Dolphin works without any problems for me.

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hey oly, welcome to AOSP ICS:D This is the best aosp ICS ROM right now, because it has parts from Android Open Kang Project (AOKP). This includes ROM control, something which allows you to extensively customize everything. You can get weather in your status bar, customize the battery, lock screen shortcuts and the best thing is the toggles. It's very fast. I reccommend you wait till the latest v6.0 is ported (just released an hour ago). It has latest qualcomm libs which make it extremely fast and hopefully solve the webkit lag.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It's a faster (personal feeling), more fluid and got more options to modify (aokp ROM control).

Take a look at the dhd thread to see the whole changelog, lord clockan points out his and the cyanogen changes.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Agree with all of the above! Plus i feel CM9 just isn't quite ready yet, so the great thing here is it's taking so many things from AOKP which is rapidly developing. Although, that aside i genuinely can't wait for cm9 stable.
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
Opera from TB but dolphin from market. I will try opera from market.
