[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You should first READ the post containing a ROM, not hurry up to flash it without knowing what are the changes. I've mentioned in all my posts that the default DPI is changed from stock (240) to either 210 or 220 and also provided a link for a modded Google Play that works with any DPI. You can either flash that or revert to stock DPI using ROM Control

The error "This application is not compatible with your device" is well known to be a result of having non standard LCD resolution.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I've searched this thread but can't seem to find the answer. I know the problem has been mentioned. Basically when I get calls or sometimes just randomly the touch screen stops working. What is the fix for this? Sorry if the answer may have been posted but I can't seem to find it. I think the problem was s2w but I'm not sure
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
i've been looking in thread for this ROM for days, but yes, I only checked last posts to see what bugs does it have, if any. I thought I did something wrong, didn't even thought about density, so sorry. :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Change the density to 240...

@Rapier : try keeping your build as stock as possible...helps avoid such issues and people can always change...

Finally AOKP kernel perfectly working with Rapier's build...:)

Finally I update OP with only my builds or builds which i feel are absolutely with minimal bugs...

Thats why i don't update Rapier's one...if sometime i mange to test it I ll surely put it up...

Just my principle...cos too many people use my rom as daily driver and want rom on OP to be perfectly stable...as i found out few days back with all pms...

Hope you guys respect it :)
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
I've tried it and works now, thanks for that :) if I would like to have back 210 dpi, I just change that in step 5 in rom control settings?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Exactly. After that, restart your phone, and install the modded play store: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1110577&d=1338984617

Maybe you'll have to remove the "old" play store first (you can use Titanium Backup for this), and install the apk afterwards.

EDIT: no need to delete it first, it's a zippable file, so flash it with CWM or 4Ext.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Guys... I seem to be having a bit of a trouble with my girlfriend's Desire S lately. I just flashed this ROM on her phone - S-OFF`ed bootloader, latest radio (at least for GB - will not flash it unless she has troubles), latest 4EXT TOUCHCOVERY.

Now... she's having troubles with the lockscreen/incoming call screen not being responsive - in that case, she has to reboot (thank God there's the 3-key-combo :) ). I just turned off the startup tweaks (which were enabled at boot, among other things), wiped dalvik & cache and fixed permissions... now waiting to see if she still has troubles tomorrow (I hope not).

But... in the event that she is STILL having troubles, what should I do?

She's not an angry girlfriend, so... I know you're not responsible for angry girlfriends, haha :D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I think that's a sweep2wake problem. Flash the AOKP kernel and see if it works. I've just flashed and testing as we speak
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Not sure what you mean. I didn't flash anything, just the ROM. Didn't install sweep2wake... whatever that is :/

I assume this so-called s2w is something like Ponury (for the EVO 3D, for example)? Built-in the ROM? Or is it kernel-related? Or is this s2w included in the provided kernel, actually? haha :D

hmm nevermind, reading below comment now, lol
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
find out if you flashed ROM with sweep2wake kernel... if you are able to unlock the phone by sweeping buttons below the screen from left to right you have sweep2wake kernel - this bug is well known. So you have to flash non-sweep2wake kernel :)

EDIT: ups, danfish was faster :)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Only NOW I see in the changelog " Latest Sweep2Wake CM9 kernel with smartassv2"... which is probably it, since I downloaded it 12 less than 12 hours ago... so that's probably it, right? :p

Funny, though. I went through the settings earlier today, and under Performance, the governor was set to Interactive, not SmartAssV2... or perhaps that part of the Settings doesn't recognize it by default?
[HTC Desire S] lukrop:
actually Not but that should be fine considering that the udev rule makes the device available for users.. (mode==0660)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Try AOKP kernel posted on OP...flash it from recovery and check if it solves all the issues :)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Thanks, I'll flash the AOKP kernel from the OP.

One thing, though : I see some of you use the s2w kernel... may I ask why? I mean... if it cause touchscreen instability, why would you use it? Is there some sort of workaround to get the touchscreen to respond when it does not (aside from force rebooting, lol)?

-----

I just saw "Linaro" in the topic title... is the kernel provided (the one with s2w, obviously) Linaro, or the ROM itself? I mean... my girlfriend's phone is lightning fast now, and I suspect that is because of the Linaro code...

If I flash the AOKP kernel, Linaro code = gone? :D
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Its rom...so it won't be lost...

Ppl still use cos they love d feature and it happens random...for some very frequent and for some rare...:)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Nope, Linaro code is in the ROM, not in the kernel!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
A kernel can be compiled with the linaro toolchain just like the ROM.

And I think that Tectas did it :
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Ya only had touch screen freeze once and a 2 reboot which was nothing serious. Yes the fonts chged to alien language for a moment but I fiddle around with the launcher setting and it chged back to English once more. S2w functions is fine as long as the batt last me for a day then I have no problem with it.

Sent from my DS
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
can it be flashed with this ROM without further complications? :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I don't know, never tried them myself.

But one of the nk111 sweep2wake versions was a Linaro build and later he reverted to the CM toolchain. Not sure which one comes with this ROM by default. Anyway I found out that the unresponsive touchscreen issues, caused by the s2w code in ICS are not present in the GB kernel and that is easily explained with the lack of the source :) And in general the sweep2wake complications most probably are coming from the incomplete kernel source rather than the Linaro toolchain, so the AOKP kernel should be stable to use...
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I saw devs claiming that their ROM is compiled with Linaro, and kernel devs, as well... and I thought it's only for the driver, which is the kernel and... oh well...

So on my Galaxy Nexus, both the ROM AND the kernel are built with Linaro. Well, that's odd, because my girlfriend's Desire S running this ROM + the AOKP kernel seems to be faster than my Nexus. I mean... the chipset is definetly weaker on the Desire S. And the difference between stock AOSP and Linaro-built ROMs is BARELY noticeable on the Nexus...

Great job LordClockan :D

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

Haha... She noticed the s2w is gone today when I flashed the AOKP kernel and I almost got a punch in the face, rofl. Guess it's up to her whether she's willing to give away some stability in order to avoid having to press the power button (which is really hard to press, by the way).

I know I'd stick to s2w, lol.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I'm not a dev so cannot say why Lord's build is faster, but I understood there are several Linaro versions also some builds don't have all Linaro optimizations included. Lord's IceColdSandwich has the O3 optimization (whatever means that) and I understood this is the one most percievable by the end user in terms of performance. Could be that other ROMs do not contain same optimizations, therefore are slower

[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
Hi, I've just flashed this an hour ago. Sorry if this problem is already mentioned. But lock screen custom app doesn't work.

I did clean install.

Flashed Ice cold 8.3 test4 non standard dpi.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Works here. I always set the first one as unlock. If you want it so you have 2 shortcuts choose the 3 option lockscreen where your first option is unlock.

Has anyone else found that the lowest auto brightness value is lower than the lowest brightness level when auto brightness isn't on (if that makes sense! :p)?
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
The first one HAS to be unlock. If you set it to anything else, it'll just not take it and keep it as unlock (since you need a method to unlock, haha).
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
I think that has got to do with the custom brightness settings (screen dim level)?

I did not notice that since I have my own custom auto brightness settings and always use the auto brightness, so I can't compare with the non-auto. But try to see if the Dim Level has got anything to do with it. ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I've put the dim level low but I also put the custom brightness level low to see if it would help
[HTC Desire S] mongox7:
Hi,

I've had a freeze yesterday at the end of a call : removing battery and it restarts.

I've search this problem in the forum and i've seen that it's a well known kernel bug. I was wondering if it's possible to use another kernel as SIO from tectas ? Do you think your rom could work fine with this kernel, without the above freeze problem ?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The kernel is included at the op as AOKP kernel, it's basicly the sio kernel with modifications to get it correct working with icecold as far as i seen.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Umm... guys... this was always a dilemma for me

What settings should I make under Settings - Display - Custom Backlight Settings? Tell me what should I check and what options I should choose (optimal, best). I know it's CUSTOM and everyone probably has different settings, or none at all... but I have no idea what most of those things in there do. I never did, lol.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
FYI flashing the kernel from AOKP thread makes touch screen unresponsive...
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Which rom did u flash that with? If u flash with rom on OP then it explains.
[HTC Desire S] sickill:
I have strong feeling this one fixed somehow the issues with photo processing in Instagram I've been experiencing since I first tried IceCold (7.4 if I remember correctly). This is the first build of IceCold that doesn't freeze my DS in Instagram. Not single freeze since I started using it 4 days ago.

So now there's no single reason to not use this ultra-smooth ROM, yay!
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
ups. flashed Tectas kernel with Rapier's latest release of IceColdSandwich... Thought AOKP as AOKP, my bad :)
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
I left the Light Sensor Filter unchecked, but the two options under Light Leves checked. Screen Dim level at 10. For other levels:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28585698&postcount=1083

But take into account that this is very subjective and there is no one fit all solution.. you should experiment with the levels yourself to fit your preference. My only suggestion is not to set the value for buttons too high.

Btw, my phone started to give some problem. I set my screen off CPU at 245-368, smartassV2, noop, and sometimes it won't wake using the s2w.. It also happens when I am listening to PowerAMP (which means that the phone is not sleeping) but still at 245-368 freq. The only thing that can bring it back to life is the power button. My question is, is it because I set the frequency too low that the device can't wake up using the s2w function, or other thing? It's also intermittent and I can't really replicate it. The backlight buttons still light up, but the phone refuses to turn on its screen. Only power button helps. Thanks in advance for any help.. :)
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
I'm using rapier's July 7th build and this is one of the longest I have been on any ICS ROM. One issue with the Gmail app though, when I try to read any email the screen goes white, and a reboot solves it for sometime but the problem occurs later.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Wipe gmail app data, then cache and dalvik in recovery. Pretty sure that this might help.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I wasn't asking for suggestions on what levels I should change under "Edit other levels", but other "checkable" options and such :D .
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
+1 on that here. Clean install, wiped cache +dalvik several times now because of this issue. Helps only for a while. Happens with gmail, normail email.apk app and Facebook. Everything else works fine. I noticed the scrollbar is actually there and seemd functional but the content just doesn't show. I tried with the scrolling-cache enabled and disabled (I don't know if that has got anything to do with it) but that doesn't help.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
8.3 final is out! :thumbup:

Quite a few changes! Get's from perfect to even better i guess! Yay!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I see this only once or twice, every time I long press on "back" force killing Email...and after it's OK. Easier than wiping cache/dalvik, restart and so on

Downloadin 8.3 final :) Tonight I have a new thing to play with

Enjoy...
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Wow! Thanks for this, Rapier! However, is there any chance to include the s2w with smartassv2 kernel on this one? I tried to flash the normal s2w, but i don't get the extended governor option, and the other AOKP kernel is without s2w. I also don't really know how to extract the kernel from vampire's build.

I have tried to back read, but couldn't find it, have I missed it?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For other CM9 kernels to work, I think there's the libinput.so file posted by nk111 several pages back that needed to be copied in system/lib.

I'm at office now and unfortunately I have a crappy internet line for uploads so I can't upload a swipe2wake version. Till evening though, there's a pretty big chance that Vampire will update the OP with his port and he is using that kernel.

To extract kernel from a flashable ZIP ROM you need to take the boot.img from the zip along with the bxxxxx.so file from system/lib/modules. You need to extract all files from my ZIP, replace the 2 files above with the ones with swipe2wake then rezip and sign the zip with Android Signer (don't forget to replace also libinput.so in addition to kernel files). Then you have a flashable zip with swipe2wake kernel. Make a backup before flashing. Good luck

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I'm not a dev but could it be possible to have a kernel that allows switching s2w on and off? Lots of current people here with different requirements.
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Alright, I will try to do that. I have problem with android signer before, many times, I can't seem to get it right and my zips won't get flashed. But nevertheless, I will try this. But it would be so kind of you if you could just attach the s2w with extended governor as an add-on. :p

However, if I can't get it right, then maybe I will just wait for vampire's update to the OP.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You can get it from HERE, that's the place I took it also. There's not much about it, after install you have only drag&drop operations. If you could not flash, it could be a problem with the script but in this case you just have to replace some files in the ROM, rezip and sign. No need to deal with script or anything else. I'll give some step-by-step instructions below:

1. Download and unzip to a separate folder the 2 ROMs (mine and the one with swipe2wake kernel)

2. Take from the swipe2wake ROM the following files: boot.img (it's in the root), system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko and replace the corresponding files in my ROM

3. Take nk111's libinput.so from HERE and replace the corresponding file in my ROM

4. Select all files and rezip them (on Windows I usually select them, right click and choose "send to compressed folder"). Rename the zip as you wish

5. Open Android Signer and drag&drop the newly created ZIP on to it. Pres "Sign"

6. Copy resulting file on your sdcard & flash

Make a backup before just to be safe
[HTC Desire S] sickill:
I'm running now on 8.3 test4. Do I need to do a full wipe to upgrade or just dalvik/cache should be enough?
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
only cache and dalvik cache...

that's what i did :D
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
not needed, I just did a cache+dalvik wipe and things seem fine. One thing I observed is the darkened apps are gone.

--no need to do a quote on the full post to ask a simple Question--
[HTC Desire S] sickill:
Thanks. And sorry for doing full quote ;)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Darkened apps are gone since several users prefer them stock so I thought it's easier for the ones that want dark version to flash Blackened UI theme, than to revert to stock for the ones that don't like them. Anyone can find link to Blackened UI in OP

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Okay, will try that now. Hopefully I can make it. Haha. Thanks a lot for the step-by-step tutorial! Btw, would it be sufficient to take the files (biit.img etc) from NAND backup or must it be from the original zip file? I think I have deleted the original ROM by accident. But I can download that if necessary I guess.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You can take from backup as well...just I don't know where boot.img resides so I can't tell you

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Alright, thanks a lot, I found it at the root of the NAND backup folder (I'm using 4EXT). Will try now, wish me luck!

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

I have replaced the files, zip them and signed them using the signer you mentioned, I could flash it as well, but stuck in the white HTC screen, had to use adb to reboot into recovery.

Maybe there was something went bad with the zipped file. :confused:

It's alright, I will try again tmr, i'm off to sleep now, I'm so tired looking for a job. :(
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
New Build is up...:)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Are all versions in the first post built from source now?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Na I might soon start..but hd saga port works almost like a build from source so no issues...as they are very similar devices...:)

So this is a port but with minimal changes :)
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
downloading now, thanks a lot!

just a question, is this with s2w kernel or just the normal cm9?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Its cm9 with additional governors and schedulars :)

Battery...stable and fast :)
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
default font changed? DPI is still 240 as usual but font seems a bit higher than usual. So far without issues, another very well done job!
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Thanks a lot, rom is freaking smooth, fastest I've ever been on so far.

Cheers guys!

Sent from an ICS/Sense 4 powered rom by lowveld!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Just wanna know if any has in-call issues...like call drop, or low volume. I had several call drops with my port, dunno if there was something wrong or a coincidence and it was a bad signal area, also volume seem to be a little lower than with other ports even if I used same files.

Vampire, have you replaced the audio libs in Lord's ROM? You said that the port is made with minimal changes. I'll download yours also and see if there's any differences

The fonts are definitely changed somehow. The normal font is thinner and hard to read. Camera FCs for me when I try to switch to front camera...anyone else? (thios can be easily solved by flashing the video fix zip file)
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
still too many random freezes requiring me to pull the battery with the phone becoming completely unresponsive. usually when retrieving exchange mail or entering some system menu. to be fair the other aosp roms behave a bit like that too. might be kernel related?

sent from an HTC DS still running Reaper
[HTC Desire S] rzr09:
So far so go, no freeze and an absolute slick smoothness love it!
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Yes, it's smooth, too!

I like the new font, it looks more elegant to me..

One more thing I notice is the new placement of emergency call button on lock screen, that's nice!

Is there any chance to make a s2w version of this kernel (like adding the s2w feature to this existing kernel)? I really like the s2w, but the current s2w addon doesn't offer the same governor choices and i really like to use SmartassV2 as well. The best was the 8.2 version with all the additional governor and s2w. so far i have trouble making the signed zip like what Rapier told me. :mad:

Btw, I experience the same thing as Rapier, the camera FC's. not sure about the in-call issues, I have not received any call so far.

I guess I will be going back to the 8.2 built first until I can figure out how to make the AOKP kernel with s2w feature.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okay guys...

Font...seems I added Jelly Bean font...too...:P

About any freezes and stuff please do a clean install...

Camera front cam not working let me see...i ll provide a fix today or tom :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ohhh in call issues...spoke about 1 hour no issues...volume thing i suck at comparing so can't comment...

Call drop didnt have 1 definitely...also signal seems normal...i generally use 2g and its full here absolutely no issues...:)

Cam fix yup will need to look into it...minimal changes has its vices :P

Finally font is JB...:P
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Vampire, use the files from that video- fix zip file or the ones from your previous build, everything was working perfect at that time.
