thanx rapier :)

the custom icons for the lockscreen apps doesn't seem to work - the preview in the options also isn't working.
[HTC Desire S] Fastrite:
If it helps, Gmail (from PC browser) has an option to merge duplicate contacts. I use it regularly when ROM hopping gives me duplicates.

Installed 6.1 last night with black ice theme. Had no calendar??? so flashed the inverted gapp and now all's cool and working well including GPS . (Flashed over 5.1)

Splashed from a puddle in Devon
[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
hey, the ROM works fine but there are some apps i can't download in the market.

The store says "Your device isn't compatible with this item"

Anyone as a fix for this? i tried to install modded markets but they didn't work or didn't install..

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
This is due to non standard DPI settings. Check in ROM Control - General-Resolution, if you have standard HDPI (240) resolution. Set it to standard, reboot and clear data for market. You'll be fine after that
[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
Thanks ! Should be highlighted somewhere in the first post ;)
[HTC Desire S] prince87:
I still cannot use H/W decoder :( The option appears sometimes and when I click on them, I get error pop up saying I cannot using H/W decoder. From Catlog, I can see that I am getting error telling kAVC profiles are not supported. However, I was able to run this with your previous v6 build.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, indeed you are right. I've just tried now to play the same Serenity trailer movie (720p) and It's going into SW mode. Trying to switch it to HW decoder just turns out it's impossible...HW Decoder is grayed out and cannot be selected.

Unfortunately this is a problem that could be solved by Lord if it's coming in the ROM. I don't have enough time right now to play with various files and see which is the one/ones that should be taken from 6.1 in order for HW decoder to work. For me, playing movies is not critical so I can aford to wait a little bit more. If for you this feature is considered basic, maybe it's good to switch to 6.1 where it worked.

It was not written because is a very well known issue. It's happening for all who use non standard DPI, after Market 3.x was entered by Google. It's not ROM related, it's happening on Gingerbread as well.

Hi,

one question....I have SGS1 and the some places (school) was the phone worm and the battery is drain very quick, if I kill the data was everything normal ...when I change the rom was OK...now with DS and this rom I have the same issues...when I kill the data is OK...can someone explain why? and this happaning just on the few places...my school for example...This issues is becouse the data conection...but I dont know whay and always on the same places...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could be that at such places something is interfering or covering the signal, what causes an unstable connection.

Data is communicating with the sever, but always (or most of the time) broken packages are retrieved and it tries till it gets a reliable respond, I guess.

Hi guys,

Can I install old version of gtalk in this rom. I'm missing android symbol in the new gtalk
[HTC Desire S] Zappka:
Hi guys! I love this rom but I got som problems when I updated to 6.1.. When I start up apps they don't always completely load. Instead they FC after a while and I'll have to try again until it works. Same problem after I formatted all partition including sdcard. All I've done after clean install is set dpi to 240 and enable the tweaks in the "tips" section in the first post. Gmail and facebook app seemsto be having the most problems. Any thoughts?

Thx in advance :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
This is the most ambiguous description about an issue. What does it mean "having problems"? What kind of problems...what does or does not...any logs? A more detailed description of the problem? Without these, we can only make guesses and this will not help you at all. If you face issues, please bear in mind that they should be clearly reproduced, they should appear if you're doing a clean install (or else you don't know if it's a real problem with the ROM or with some other app you have installed) and so on.

My Gmail for ex is working great, don't have any issues with it. I don't use Facebook at all so I cannot tell about it...I know there were some issues regarding contact sync but that is not only with this ROM
[HTC Desire S] minstercourt:
Face Unlock missing

Hi, Thanks for the great rom. most of the things work. I have checked so many threads and i still can't find how to get the face unlock. i have flashed with gapps face unlock from the add on's page but still i don't have in the lockscreen options. Can some one please help. before gapps i have done the full wipe and dalvik cache etc and flashed 6.1 version. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Zappka:
Sorry I was unclear, it's the same with all apps and I have tried with two clear installs, first with the latest gapps for ics and then without. When I start up an app it, half of the time it won't load completely, I might get a white screen, I might get some of the items of the app up but not all or the loading animation just freezes. And then i get a message about the app not responding. In essence it just stops responding mid-load and I have to try again.

As for logs I don't have any. Any advice for what logs and how to get them? Not exactly a wiz on android yet :)

Thanks for the quick response!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Oh..ok. That's a strange thing indeed. I never had any of these issues. Make sure some of the below things:

1. Full wipe before flashing (I can recommend to do that "format all partitions except sdcard" option from 4EXT recovery). Even when clear data/cache there is something left on the sdcard (the .Android folder that stores some user data)

2. Make sure that English language is selected for the ROM. There were some issues when switching to other languages, mainly due to improper translations.

3. Make some tests with and without "Force GPU rendering" option in Settings - "Developer options". It could be that some apps are having rendering issues related to it.

4. For start, DO NOT overclock at all. I am overcolocked at 1305 and I'm running like this but it might not be suitable for you. Leave for beginning the standard 1024 speed clock and Interactive or Ondemand governor. Keep the ROM's kernel, do not switch to another one at start. You might do that after you see that ROM is stable for you.

There is no need whatsoever to flash an additional GAPPS package. IceColdSandwich it's coming with GAPPS included. First check if they work, then consider flashing another GAPPS package (for the dark version for ex or to test face unlock). Gmail should work out of the box as soon as you setup an Google account on your phone. Regarding Facebook I believe you install it from the market.

Regarding logs..."provide logs" is usually a term that refers to the ADB logcat. That is a log that shows the behaviour of your Desire and also of any apps/services that are running (in background or foreground). Also any errors will be shown there. In order to make such a log you should first install Android SDK (you can find on Internet and on this forum details on how to do that) and know some basic ADB commands. Alternatively you can install a program on your PC like QtADB that performs some ADB commands in a graphical manner. I'm using it and it is easier to take a logcat this way.

Hope it helps, at least to identify some of your issues
[HTC Desire S] Selimov:
does Tiamat Kernel (14.03) works smoother than stock icecoldsandwich ?)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Is the reason why i cant install a lot of market apps cos this rom is way ahead than the current top version number?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
More probably is due to DPI settings. Are you sure you're set on 240 (standard HDPI)?
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Nobody knows, but it seems to me, stock (CM9) kernel is better.
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Same problem here with Gmail and Google Reader. Also the calendar app disappears once in every two reboots...
[HTC Desire S] Zappka:
Thanks, I turned off "Force GPU rendering" and lowered my clock to 1024. A couple of hours of no FCs so far! Looks like i'm cured! If it happens again I'll be back with logs B-) Have a nice day!
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
This ROM just keeps freezing on me at random. Tried gpu acceleration on and off, scrolling cache on and off, full wipes, full formats, default OC levels...

Step 2: use agps patch from here:

note: not sure if necessary, but I mounted system partition when in Recovery before I flashed the patch...

restart and ta-daaa :))

btw I am running IceColdSandwich-6.2.AOKP-test.... is it less stable then 6.1?

Did you try to change server location in gps.conf ?

Edit: running 6.1 with no gps fix, just change north america for france and lock around 15s always
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Well, I changed whole GPS.conf to the one that worked last time. (the one linked here)

Did not change a single entry.

Btw. I cannot even find an entry for country for something like that

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] jo3bar:
Use root explorer, mount r/w, edit etc\gps.conf and just set your location (north america by default)
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
If you changed the gps.conf file I believe it will get overwritten anyway by the aGPS patch from crypted as his gps.conf file will link to his own servers. Crypted himself says not to mess with GPS.conf if you are using his patch, perhaps some other part relies on his files, but if you changed the conf file after applying the patch it might be messed up, try flashing the patch again.

Maps might show an accurate location just from wifi ssid's.

Have you checked in your location settings to make sure the phone is set to use internal gps? And tried other versions of the aGPS fix? I am using the latest version with no ssl.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Thanks for your help, but I know how to do that. I was using a completely different GPS.conf where there was no entry for location.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Yes, yes, I know, yes.. :-) checked all settings, latest versions etc.

Have done exactly the same like on 5.1 when it did work

Edit: I did not change the gps.conf file, flashing the agps patch changed it. That's what I was talking about

[HTC Desire S] Pride4u:
Howdy,

I don't mean to seem like an impatient freak, but is there any guess as to when we could possibly expect the camcorder problem etc. to be solved? I'm not asking for a precise hour and second, of course, but let's say May-June, Q2, or something like that? I'm currently using VQ RC3 and don't really see a reason to switch to this ROM until the stuff is fixed.

Thanks and keep up the good work

[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
DPI problem is fixed on 6.2 test release. I'm using it and don't have any problem apart common problems in all versions.

Maybe one thing, when using Angel Camera and setting 5Mpix, picture is unusable, must switch to 3Mpix, it works fine.

[HTC Desire S] Electrostatic King:
A question ..

Now a lot of apps show that my device is not compatible with the apps. What is wrong?

I switched from primo and had no problem there regarding this. Currently on 6.1 .

I am sorry if this has been discussed, just didn't look it up. Can I have a answer please. A pm will be appreciated, ...but no probs if replied here..I'll try to keep up.
[HTC Desire S] pzabet:
Stupid question...

but can I flash 6.1 over 5.1, because I don't feel like doing another backup, nor like deleting data. Also, is 6.1 stable because 5.1 used to freeze for no reason anytime and the restart keys did work
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
read the thread, this has been answered like 5 times already.....DPI needs changing to 240....ROM Control->UI settings (or something)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
You can flash to 6.1. Wipe cache and dalvik. But backup is advisable :))
[HTC Desire S] pzabet:
That is a good question since I was wondering how it is with Tiamat kernel
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
There are more frequencies and governors and with 6.2 it seems to me a little bit slower, but it could be caused by apps and speed is same. I don't know. But definitely it's safe to use, no problem at all, so you can try and refer.

[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
My fear is you guys are being overly optimistic about this kernel 3.0 thing. I figure ETA'll be just as long as it takes us to figure it out our own. I doubt the guys at HTC are any smarter than the crew here. They're probably trolling the forums, gathering mods & fixes. Come April (next week), we may have a very disappointed XDA family - if the much awaited update fails to roll out. Which to me is quite likely. I'd be the happiest to be proven wrong. But, well, I remain sceptical.

Speaking of impatience, I'd really love to have a go at the 6.2 test version - if someone would be so gracious as to provide me the link.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
It was posted by me several pages ago.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Without intending to come across as lazy, is there any chance that you could update post #1 to include the link to v6.2, if its a TEST version then simply mark it as so, with appropriate warning, as its difficult to monitor all posts in all threads all the time....
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Sorry about that but I'm not the OP...Vampire36 is, and he's the only one that can update the first post. It is his topic, I'm just linking here the ROMs I port for the ones that doesn't know how to do it and since is a port for the same ROM, there's no need to make a separate topic.

Thank you for new port, again !!!!LOL

[HTC Desire S] peters.:
How is it with stability? Any reboots, frozen phones (while heavy 2d/3d usage)? Lately my phone froze while opening second page in browser on latest cm9...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Since last night at 2:30 till now, I had no reboots while sleeping. Today I'll see if there are any problems. The reboots can be caused by kernel and in this matter there's no change. We cannot use the kernel in the DHD ROM cause they're not compatible. We are using CM kernels for these ROMs so it is possible that if you had reboots, you could still have them. In order to properly test, I recommend to make a backup and flash with full wipe. You can try with only wipe cache/dalvik and it'll boot, but in case you run into problems you might not know if they're caused by the ROM itself or due to the fact you didn't wipe.
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Installed the 6.2 stable after a full-wipe. Rom Control > Power menu options gives an FC. Anyone experiencing that?

hi...

i tried 6.2 with full wipe...

worket good... so far

but sound is "disturbed"... an scratchy sound in background like oversteered

As I read through the DHD topic, there are 2 issues about which users complains:

1. FC in ROM Control - Power Menu. It has been fixed by Lord through a patch linked on the topic somewhere in the last posts. I am not sure if it's working for us "as is", at least the update script should be modified for Desire S.

2. Some sound issues, I had also some sort of it, touch sounds or others are not heard at all. Could be solved by replacing some audio files/libs with the ones from a previous version that works. Currently I cannot do that, if someone else wanna try he can do it

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well I tried it for an hour...sound issues is a bit buggy and few more things...

So i feel 6.1 is stable and with tiamat running for more than a week seems rock solid...no lags or fcs...so till 6.2 issues get churned out will suggest stick to 6.1 stable...6.2 is more internal fixes and has no drastic difference...so I ll suggest wait a bit more...IMHO :)

I agree. Had several random reboots, so I'm back to 6.1
