Please post here if you suffer any reboot or freeze. I could live with some reboots. But I cannot live with 5 freezes each day, my phone will be unusable half of the time..

Want to use this ROM as I love ics too, but the worst point right now are freezes...

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
yes I will :)

Impressed, this is the longest that I have used this ROM before without a reboot!

I've been firing open loads of apps, browsing etc - stable so far

I'm using Tiamat kernel as recommended by vampire
[HTC Desire S] ttocs99:
Found a quicker way lol
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Unsure if already reported but on 7.1 I can't get video app to work, other than that its a great rom, my favourite experience on ics so far :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ok had 1 reboot while browsing. This Rom is certainly more stable than the last version though.

@devs please don't hate me for this - I'm just telling someone something he wanted to know.

I'm not trying to critisize
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
please can someone upload the Tiamat boot.img.

I need to flash it because of HTCDEV Unlock ?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Check this out, it's a VERY easy method to get the boot.img yourself -

(by flashing Kernel in recovery, he means flash the Tiamat ZIP in recovery)

Was it a simple reboot or a real freeze?

[HTC Desire S] chivas112:
Flashed v7.1 some hours ago and didn't had any FC's, freezes or reboots so far. The ROM seems to be more stable than 7.0 release. I'm using Tiamat kernel at the moment.

Great work guys!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Simple reboot.

I talked to LordClockan. For some reason, his ROMs is super stable for DHD users.

He told me next time I get a reboot, catch a logcat.

If anyone experience a reboot, please can you take a logcat and post it here. That way we can send it to LordClockan, and he can help us fix the issues

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
7.1 is the first release, where Star Chart works. On previous releases it caused reboot after few seconds. I think all reboots are caused or were caused by GPU acceleration libraries. Maybe vampire36 used latest libs from CM9, where those problems could be fixed.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hey oly, even incredible s users had random reboots. Maye they solved the issue, i didn't see. Been on this ROM for 6 hours, not one random reboot. (tiamat kernel)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
@Guys : Yup this time while porting I tried to replace minimal files...so all reboots or sound issues should be fixed...tried my best to keep it as close as possible to IceColdSandwich...

Nice to know its working well with most :)
[HTC Desire S] darkmanew:
Voice recorder FC

For me is very important the voice recording, and using soundcloud for the audio songs upload and very neccesary this function on my rom. Go back to the 6.1 it's very stable for my use. Thanks for the best rom and wonderfull work.

Sorry my bad english i am studing in this moment!

I flashed 7.1 last night with full wipe, this morning a friend call me and i hear him but he did not hear me. Than i have to restore old rom.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Which version did you try? You must use vampires on first page, mine missing few files and microphone isn't working. Vampires works fine.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
I am getting freezes on games and reboots and when I flashed the tiamat kernel I still get a freezes in the first minute when the phone was booted
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
I downloaded the Test 7.1 signed version on first post.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Could you try full wipe? There shouldn't be any call problem.
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
I flashed the rom with full wipe, i tried cm9 and tiamat kernel but they can not hear my voice. I will redownload the rom and try again.
[HTC Desire S] chivas112:
I can't confirm any call problem. Had several calls today and nobody had any problems to understand me or the other way round.

I also didn't notice any freezes/reboots so far (last 24hrs) and just one FC as I switched WLAN off while Samba Filesharing was still active.

I will continue testing this ROM on a daily base this week (using it outdoor, as navigation system -Navigon- and while beeing in office). It seems to be a very very stable and reliable ROM.

btw. I'm using Tiamat kernel.
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
I redownloaded the rom and the calling is ok now. I will test the other things.

[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Hi,

I'm new with ICS, and finally decided to give it a try. So far so good, just one question, there is no way in my contact to link it with a Facebook contact ? (Facebook is of course installed)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
AFAIK you cant...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Use haxsync from the market to sync FB contacts, works great for me
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
How is it possible ? with AOSP GB it was already possible ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Facebook contact sync is available from the market which does the same thing. But i think he wants to link the contacts which i don't think can be done. An app called syncmypix seems to do it. Give it a try because i believe the only other option is to manually edit each contact.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What I did - I linked all my contacts to facebook contacts on a Sense ROM (stock Sense 2.1). This was done months ago, when i first bought my phone. HTC adds some code to the contacts' notes which restores the links each time i go to a new Sense ROM and re-sync my contacts from google. Apparently, Haxsync can read the links too, so it just magically works for me. Since i jump to and fro between AOSP and Sense ROMs, i can fix broken links on Sense ROMs
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Just sharing my experiences:

Flashed 7.1 over 6.1 with cache and dalvik wipe, flashed tiamat kernel straight away->

Working fine, very stable->

After 48 hours had one reboot=

happened suddenly after opening market and received notification of app updates the same time, froze for 2 secs and then reboot.->

Currently after that, about 24 hours gone and running smooth!!!

Quadrant gives only around 1600 with cpu as kernel default=

1036 max - 268 min smartassv2 governor.

But it runs quite smooth and nice for my taste.

And also->

Under my normal/heavy use, the battery lasts about 20-24hours and its fine to me!

Thanks for this rom!

Peace!
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
I get 2239 benchmark
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Quadrant?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Yup got 2436 after it
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
Really? 2436 in quadrant standard, thats freaking awesome... Almost too awesome, ive never had so high scores in any rom. Hope you are not confusing Quadrant to Benchmark... I got around 1600 in Quadrant Standard and 2900 in AnTuTu Benchmark :)
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Ok, i'm really surprised that a simple feature like that is not included in AOSP.

On other side, I have a problem with the latest 7.1 and GPS : it fixes really fast, but when fixed the GPS hang up. Then a minute later, it fixes again, and hang and so on.

I've come from a full wipe, my GPS works fine on my sense rom. Using Timiat kernel as recommended.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
did you try agps patch? if not try it.

(there are several methods how to apply the patch, if you use flashable zip do not forget to mount /system partition before you flash the patch)

[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Thanks buddy, will test this out. 6.1 was great but 7 is an utter nightmare, constant FC's and it reboots like every few hours plus the screen flickers when off.

Glad to see 7.1 is getting better reviews :)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
It seems it does not. Few minutes ago I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1 and when I started Maps nothing happend moreover the phone rebooted. So I applied agps patch and everything runs fine.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
What about the tiamat ics kernal? flash that too?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
That's over clocking to 1.5 ghz
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I'm running it as well... no reboots so far :)
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Ok, but the topic is quite large with a lot lot of different version, which is the good one for 7.1 ? Also, did you use method 3 via recovery to flash it ?

Thanks !
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I use 3.1 applicable in recovery
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Strange I have had reboots
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Yeah baby! 7.2 is out! Let's get the porting started! :)

If it's not uploaded by somebody else by saturday, I'll upload it on the weekend when I'm home where I got high-enough upload speed.
[HTC Desire S] csakthikumar:
Hi experts, yesterday I faced a FC in phone app but the problem might be with me, I have synced my phone app with linkedin, fb, twitter, exchange server, Google contacts and haxsync which computes approx 1100 contact's ;-)

Is this an expected issue with this much contacts????
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Can anyone post a list with files that should be replaced in order to put on this ROM the camera and cameralibs from CM9? I tried yesterday, changing some files in lib, hw and system, but with no success. I still had working only the back camera. Is it kernel related? That's the only thing I didn't try, to take CM9 kernel also. The reason is that in CM9, skype video call works (buggy but works) and I use it.

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Oh for camera its simple...if you want both front and back of cm9...

from hw copy camera.msm7x30.so...

though generally not needed but still copy from libs copy all lib having camera as part of its name...

finally from permission folder in etc copy a file that has front camera in its name...

that should be enough...:)

Its not kernel related...copy these files and you should be good to go :)
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
7.1 was very stable with Tiamat and alost my daily... until i started using maps or apps that use maps (eg geocache). Froze everytime so back to rock solid Virtuous Affinity. Tnx devs anyway!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Strange...I've copied those files. In fact I've took the following files from CM9:

/system/lib/libcamera.so

/system/lib/libcamera_client.so

/system/lib/libcameraservice.so

/system/lib/hw/camera.goldfish.so

/system/lib/hw/camera.msm7x30.so

/system/app/camera.apk

After replacing the above files from CM9 to IceColdSandwich, was no change. When trying to switch from rear to front, I got the same "back" view mirrored upside down (or something).

The only thing that I've missed, were the files from "permission" folder. Could this be the reason? Hm...I've just looked over those files...could be the reason. In "permissions" folder there's a file named "android.hardware.camera.front.xml"...since this was not copied, it could be the reason for which I cannot connect to front camera.

OK, I'll give it another try.

Now continuing with the changes...do you know what files to get for the audio? I mean the parts that are responsible for in-call sound and mic? With CM9 ROM I had better audio in-call quality, either on BT car-kit or on normal phone. There was a bug when switching among them but the quality is better.

Later edit: OK, I've started download of latest 7.2 and will try to port it and include the CM9 camera to have it working. Also latest CM9 kernel. Will give feedback after
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
if agps patch won't help I'll buy you a beer, deal man?
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I flashed it after clean install, but it has nothing to do with gps. It wa happened during searching or swiping on maps, so I guess heavy load...
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
did you mounted /system partition before flashiing agps? It's requirement.
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
I've just tried the No SSL version, and now it's weird : using GPS test, I see taht my phone does see only one or two sat, but it gets a fix, with 0 feet as accuracy.

Tried launching Maps, it shows me on a place I'm not.

Does a wipe or something is needed when apply this patch ?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I use Google Specific CWM Flashable

I always do wipe dalvik and cache when flashing all kind of updates. I'm not sure if it is required but it does not do any harm.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've ported latest 7.2 Farewell Edition.

Changelog (from original thread):

- sync overide option added to Profiles - CM

- BT updates

- new camera HAL from twisted (camcorder still doesn't work, use Videocam Illusion from market)

- updated NovaLauncher to 1.0.3b2

- add boot sound option - the boot sound file should be in: /system/media/android_audio.mp3, don't know if it works :P

- added BLN toggle, and in quite hours - by Robin

- custom icons for lockscreen fixed - AOKP

- custom lockscreen wallpaper finally enabled and fixed

- a lot of patches trough out the rom

- updated a lot of apps

- new kernel 9.4 BFS - updated gpu drivers, vidc, msm_rotator, wlan, audio, etc...

- I must have forgotten something

Added to the above:

- latest CM9 Kernel (from 9.04.2012)

- latest CM9 camera libs (front camera works, didn't have time to check video calls but I think it works)

- changed audio libs to avoid the crackling speaker sound (I got this after first try to port)

I find it stable for the time being, tested it whole day with heavy WiFi/browsing/etc. I've flashed it with full wipe and install everything from scratch with no Titanium restore. I wanted to have the cleanest install possible and also to check how ROM performs and so on. No reboots, even I had several long phone calls, no signal drop...I had these in the past. Will see what's next...

For the ones loving "dark" versions, just to let you know, I've flashed latest Blackened UI & GAPPS and it's working GREAT on 7.2. You can find the original thread of this mod in the OP

I'll link it as soon as I'm at home. From office I cannot upload unfortunately.

Later Edit: As promised, here's the link for 7.2

One litte question: Is the lastest AOKP release included into this ROM?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Is the port of latest IceColdSandwich AOKP by Lord Clockan. I don't know if this is different from standard AOKP ROM. You can check the link from OP in order to go to the original thread of this ROM and see there more details.

I can't install Titanium Backup because of no space. However I do have free space. Anybody else encountered it on 7.2?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No problems for me. I had full wipe as I said and first thing was to install from market Titanium Backup & Key in order to restore the WiFi access points. This is the first thing I do after flashing a ROM with full wipe. After having WiFi setup I download the rest of the applications
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Using 7.1 I have an issue with Wifi. It's always on on my phone, and when I'm leaving home, the phone does not switch to 3G, so it lost the data connection. I have to go in plane mode and remove it to restore my data connection.

I do not recall such problem in 7.1 so I cant confirm but definitely there is no such issue in 7.2.time to update to 7.2, bro :)

I haven't tried 7.2 because today I need to use navigation (Navigon or Sygic because of roaming) and stable phone. Tomorrow I'll try and see.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
it was fine in 7.1... But problem started by updating to 7.2... Titanium Backup stopped working, so I uninstalled it and couldn't install it back... all other apps install fine... the problem is just TB

I didn't want to pollute this thread with silly responses, but would really appreciate it if you guys would head over to THIS NEW THREAD & POLL which I've just created and give me your opinions there alongwith completing the attached Poll (before my window of opportunity closes) and I backup and restore my Sense ROM for the working week ;)

Thanks again in advance :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
possibly a daft question but why is this latest port called "Farewell" edition, its not going to be the last is it?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Sadly, LorD ClockaN has got a new One X (like everyone else), so he's stopping development on this. He did say that he may make one last version after this, before his device comes this tuesday. It's really a shame, as this is the only ROM that has AOKP features for our Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
As I read through DHD thread it seems it's among latest. Lord is getting a new device and it could be that he will not make any more ROMs for DHD. Anyways, 7.3 test 1&2 are already out so I think it'll be one more at least.

I've ported 7.3 test 2 as well but I reverted back to 7.2 cause I had issues with ROM Control in it...it gave some FCs for some settings.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yup, big time. I've been on Virtuous Quattro RC4 for a long time now. It's a perfectly stable rom with the latest stuff so i don't need to flash anything, i just want to for some reason. I have ORD too :p Ever since the day i flashed my first ROM, i've been addicted :D

Thanks vampire36, i'll flash 2.0.0 tomorrow. As lord clockan said, most changes in 3.0.0 are kernel related so it's not a big update.

PS - Did you try to use the quattro kernel? Maybe the cm9 kernel isn't compatible with the rom.....
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Since Lord Clockan said it's based on "latest CM9", I believe the most compatible kernel would be the one from CM9 not from Quattro

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
It seems that I will skip flashing today too. Pity...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Just flashed over rc4 with just wiping dalvik + cache. Having used all the ICS ROMs now I think from initial impressions this feels the fastest and smoothest, however some may beg to differ.

This doesn't have the same web rendering issues in quattro which really bugged me but I think cm9 fixed that anyway. The good thing here is that it has a lot of features from ROM control while still having the goodies of cm9.

The animations are also slower and more noticeable which I feel is actually quite nice because they're not too slow but not too fast either and there is a lower haptic feedback which feels better.

Although using the keyboard still isn't as nice as GB.

That's what I've found from initial impressions.

Miss CRT animation though. Also I flashed nk111's face unlock gapps just for fun and the ROM doesn't even recognise face unlock. These two are obviously not really issues. But I will say every time I use my phone I'm constantly opening and closing the app drawer because of how smooth it is (I did the same on quattro too)

This happened to me with a game (do not remember the name) from Market on CM9. The phone froze completely - no response to adb or 3 key combo. So I decided to let its battery drain instead of pulling the battery. When I took a look at it half an hour later I was pleased to see the lockscreen and a working device. So better wait instead of pulling out the battery - you can save 30 minutes of waiting or send you phone to the garbage....
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ohhh thats strange...I use firefox but never had a freeze still...but whenver phone freezes just wait for 15-20 min...it should be ok...

Well I think ICS is still developing and such freezes and restarts happen...lemme know if it does very frequently :)

Can anyone let me know about the stability of this ROM? I don't wanna have to go back to GB... :(
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Had 5.2 and 6.1 already, but they were not stable enough (reboots, missing calls, ...)

I'm running 7.2 now for 2 days and it really is working great. Calls, camera, bluetooth, GPS, data, batterylife...

Really worth to try it out, but CLEAN install. Try to use Titanium only for necessary apps (I used it for online banking app and password app...) everything else was set up again (takes some time, I know...).
