I took some pictures with my camera and they were saved however, when I took some photos later they weren't in gallery does anyone know where they might be?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Did you take them with the stock camera app? Do they show up in the lower right corner of the camera app?

If taken with another app, search in app settings for the place where they're stored. It's usually not the same folder as the stock one...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
A new version should be up today :)
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Yes I used the stock camera and I can't remember if they show at the bottom or not
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
I installed 7.2 yesterday, and it works well, except I can't seem to receive certain files (apk files, to be precise) via bluetooth. It just gives me a "failed to send file" on the device I'm sending the file from. I've done a clean install, and it's still the same. I can send via bluetooth perfectly though, and also receive pictures too. I haven't tried any other files yet, besides the jpeg and apk files.

Another thing I've noticed is, the clock in the status bar didn't update since 9pm last night, but when I changed the option to set my timezone automatically, it started updating. I then turned automatic timezone update to off again, and so far, it's still working properly.

Other than these two "issues", I'm very happy with this ROM.

Just a noob question though: there's no option to switch between the preferred network (2G and WCDMA) - has this been left out in ICS, or is it just that the phone will now automatically choose the network? I noticed that it is not available in CyanogenMod9 either.

Thanks! :D

Settings - More... (under Wireless&Networks) - Mobile Networks - Use only 2G networks.

Isn't this what you've asked for? This is the switch to use only 2G/3G+2G
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
The last one taken always shows up there, even after a reboot.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
Not exactly. In Gingerbread there's an extra option, apart from the "use only 2G network" to choose between "2G/3G", or "WCDMA only", etc. So, I'm assuming that this is now only selected with the "use only 2G networks" option? Am I making sense?

Thank you for your speedy response :)

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
OH, yeah, I remember that. You can still try to set it from the hidden menu

Open dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#*. Then choose Phone Properties and you have option to select from several preferences for data connection. It works for sure with stock dialer...works with third party ones but not all so if you're not using stock dialer, keep this in mind
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Wtf what number is that?? On endy it opens "customize quick settings"

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
It should be used in stock dialer. As soon as you press the last digit, there's a "testing" hidden menu opening. There's no need to press the dial button, menu opens as soon as you press the last "*". From there you can customize some settings and view some info/statistics

There's a new 7.3 test 4 version up starting from last night. I've ported and can say is stable so far and OK. As I'm at work now cannot upload, if no one will port it I'll put a link here in the evening (and of course if no other newer version is up till then)

Changelog for latest version (as from original thread):

7.3.AOKP-test4 - 17-04-2012

-added some new options for tethering - CM

-added Sense 4.0 recent apps choser - thanks evilisto (let's see if it works and you guys like it)

-new kernel 9.5, this time CFS

-APN setting needs testing if it FCs

-some other tweaks here and there as usual

The changed style task manager (attached prt screen) looks awesome, a transparency slider for setting transparency of status bar icons (all except battery, signal and clock).. Considering the short time for testing cannot say too much about it.

Later edit: For the ones that would like to port the last version, the link of the original ROM is below. Due to an error, Lord uploaded it to another location so it's not in the usual place (I thought it might be helpful for those not reading the original thread)

[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
What about own AKOP port? I've noticed Virtuous Quattro has Quattro Control which is renamed ROM Control from AOKP, so there is possible way to port AOKP on CM9 base. But I don't know what to do and possibly I don't have enough skills to port it. Maybe someone here is able to do that? Or should I ask on CM9 thread?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
It's useless to ask that in CM9 thread. The devs there won't do that because this is not aligned with CM Team policy (they have one I'm pretty sure). All changes to a ROM have an approval flow and they are not including everything because one of would like to have it included. Virtuous Team I remember is not publishing their sources, so don't know if asking there is useful also. Maybe a good point to start is to ask Lord what files need to be copied in order to include ROM Control in other AOSP ROMS. Also maybe proxuser might give some info on this since he is the best ROM porter I know about.

I must tell you that I've tried myself to do that but just by copying ROMcontrol.apk in /system/app does not do the thing.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
ROMcontrol.apk isn't enough for sure. There are also different framework files and it is the most important part of GUI. Maybe it'll do the magic but also there could be need to compile everything for Desire S or modify. I don't know. Or maybe there is everything done for another HTC device and it could be compatible.

Unfortunately I have about one weekend in month to study such thinks and it isn't enough. :(
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No, ROM Control.apk is not going to do the job, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk are definitely required, some more may be needed too. Here's the source for ROM Control - https://github.com/romanbb/ROM-Control Though i have no clue what to do with it :p

This may be one of the last versions of IceColdSandwich, it's awesome, Sense 4 multitasking is great, but like quattro, it will be outdated soon. We already have CM9, the best option would be to port AOKP completely. If someone can build from source, then there's nothing like it. There are a lot of supported devices, the Incredible 2 should be a good place to start, but its CDMA so expect some issues.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Compiling from source could be made eventually by Tectas he has some experience with this. Also nk111 from the CM9 thread can do this for sure, but since he is a part of the CM development team for saga probably will refuse, but may do this for the fun of it. The third option is lowveld of course but his own projects are his priority. Maybe some of the contributors of this port (rapier, vampire or Mr . death can PM for guidance some of the above mentioned...)

Just my 5 cents :)

Is it normal on IceColdSandwich that phone heats up to 39 C?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I was just going to port it as well, you saved my time and made my day. On DHD thread people say it's the smoothest build ever...well, we'll see. :)

One thing vampire, I run into an issue on your test 4 build, didn't have time to check if it's on mine too (but I guess so) ... When connected to car-kit BT and switching to headset back and forth, theres no sound anymore during call. I mean that you cannot hear the other party anymore. It is due to the audio libs in CM9, I had the same on latest CM9 ROMs as well. On the other hand, these audio libs gave the best in-call quality till now. No big thing, just wanted to let you know and eventually to check this also

[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
If you overclock it yes. Mine goes sometimes up to 43

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
True Rapier...I felt same on cm9 as well...

So i stuck to original aokp audio libs rather than cm9 audio...

Audio seems good...a bit loud even at lowest volume but nice...

So guess that shouldn't be a problem...if you get time do check and lemme know if the problem persists :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I generally overclock to 1152 and phone doesn't heat up much but at 1200 especially after calls it did...:)

What kernel should I use with latest release? And why the settings like "sd card tweak" and "disabling the scrolling cache" in rom control always reset after reboot?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I don't know exactly how. It's not just changing a file. For me is ok, no big deal to have it like this. Compared to the benefits of the ROM, this is minor issue

exactly that's why I wanted to switch back :)
[HTC Desire S] Gormsen:
I've tried the last couple of test versions, but whenever I'm writing a message, it stops, and cancel the writing (making it impossible to finish a message) when i use the letters L and K followed by O,L,K,Ø. I'm using the Danish keyboard, and I've had the problem since 7.2 test versions. So I'm stilling running on 7.1 for a stable rom :(

Any ideas on how to fix/work around?

Could you try a different keyboard..I use swype and works np...:)
[HTC Desire S] Ziplock9000:
We are not recommended to use the Tiamat Kernel, is this a mistake?

[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
if I remember it right the fm radio works fine since some previous releases. You can try it by yourself. Download Spirit FM Light from Google Play and go to Settings >Audio > Method - and choose "qdsp5v2 Plus/ICS"

camcorder is not working...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes for camera, dunno for FM radio since I don't use it
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I had 7.3 test 4 running great for 2 days with great batterylife.

This morning I flashed 7.3 test 5 and my battery went almost empty in 4 hours.

Battery info told me the screen and system was on during the whole time, but it was off... (standby).

Rebooted and checking if this keeps this way.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
you can use Tiamat kernel but the contribution of that is disputable as in ics v7.3 there are some changes in cm9 kernel while Tiamat was released on March 14th...
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
All changes on ICS kernels are related only to DHD. Ports to DS are using CM9 kernels

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Everything can work:

Camcorder workaround:

Just install from Market Videocam illusion. Tried and it works! Again thanks LorD ClockaN for the tip!

FM Radio workaround:

Download Spirit FM Radio Free: http://www.mediafire.com/?6dxde5qtvoaa603 It's not supported and limited version. Set qdsp5v2 Plus/ICS in Audio - Method. If it works there is paid Lite and Full version on Market.

And stock Camcorder works but can't save video. But it could work for video calls.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
This is what I mean when I said it still has problems. It's not completely finished

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
But you can install another free software and it works. It's even better than radio workaround because the app is free.

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
There is nothing drastic different between test5 and final release...so i ll port it a bit later :)
[HTC Desire S] ghostryder12:
The biggest thing I noticed Vamp, is my battery life has just about doubled from test 5 to the final release.

I'm just another ROM Junky, nothin' to see here.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I doubt that...cos am using test5 and battery is quite good...

I don't think until some explicit process running as orphan battery can improve that much...

I doubt it will...generally kernel change might improve a bit...but as we dont have much options cm9 and tiamat...i dont think it can improve that drastic...:)

Still will port asap :)
[HTC Desire S] ghostryder12:
OK, maybe not doubled but yesterday using test 5 I went from 100% to 30% in 4 1/2 hrs. Today I went from! 100% to 25% in 9 he's after flashing over test 5 with about the same usage. I know it was about the same usage as I was at work both days. So, I'm experiencing much better battery life.

I just saw that the kernel for this release is 9.4.1 BSF. I had been using 9.5 CSF, so that may be the difference I'm seeing in battery life.

I'm just another ROM Junky, nothin' to see here.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Thats for DHD...when we port it to desire s...its cm9 kernel :)

I guess you use DHD...so then thereare some change in kernel so bound to...but in our case we had no battery drain issues :)
[HTC Desire S] ghostryder12:
OK, so the 9.5 was not the correct kernel for test 5? No wonder my battery life was crappy.

I'm just another ROM Junky, nothin' to see here.

Or just wait till Nexx release 3.x kernel. He is hard working on it...

7.3 final and 7.4 test 1 are out already. I've ported 7.4 test 1 since is latest. Changed something in build.prop, dunno why Lord didn't preserved the setting from 7.3 since it was one of the setting that made that version so smooth.

You can do that in 4EXT Recovery or ClockWork Mod. Just find option Fix permissions, it'll reboot and check all files.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
yep found that and did it..

but unfortunately it didnt fix the problem...

i did a clean fresh install of 7.3 test 5 just yesterday.

running with tiamat and black and blue theme, but i think that didnt cause the problem. :(
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Try using the CM9 kernel...
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
I'm using Tiamat kernel too, also I've tried few times check and uncheck and now it works.

You can try Tweaks patch: http://android.ipq.cz/files/TweaksFix.zip, but I think it needs manually fix permissions on folder /etc/init.d and add write permission to all. After that tweaks could work and maybe the camera sound could work too. But I wasn't able to find anything related to camera on tweaks. It's only thing that is definitely different between our roms.
[HTC Desire S] ghostryder12:
Mine is the other way around. Silent even if I select sound. Freaky right? :confused:

[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
I use tiamat and get loads of reboots and freezes
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Don't use Tiamat...that's one of the possible causes for reboots. Also if you want to be sure, don't OC also. Tiamat is known for having undervoltage that can cause in some situations reboots...also OC has this effect if your processor doesn't support that speed or the combination speed/voltage is not optimal. Stick for the beginning with the CM9 kernel included in the port and no OC...and see if you still got reboots. Then you can slowly increase OC settings till you got the higher stable value.

OK. I won't post any more updates. I posted here cause it's about the same ROM. I thought that people who like to test the latest versions will want this and will flash it. No problem, I'll port for myself from now on and just answer to the questions here if I know. This is the last I'll post since I already promised that and file upload is almost finished.

There's no need to have separate stable/test releases threads, Lord uses the same thread for both and also vampire ported test versions (as you see the latest in OP is a test version and is awesome). I'll let vampire to make the ports and update the thread

There is a short tutorial how to port in this thread, anyone can port this if knows basic things.
