That's not a feature in aosp, its more of a cm or aokp feature.

If its super important to you check out Redemption also by the Collective, although if you like excellent battery life you may want to stick around aosp based Ascension.

Just my .02 of course. ;)

[Desire HD Android Development] mejok:
tnx alot i will check it out.

however this feature is really imporatant to me because i can togle the sound mode directly from the lock screen and i saw that in the AOKP there are alot of tweaks which not included in this rom.

battery life is really important to me too however i prefer the tweaks
[Desire HD Android Development] azahtoth:
Best rom ever. Awesome battery life... actually I have never used my phone more than 16 hours without recharging. Now it lasts 2 days :)

Has the MMS functioning normally?

I raised the question but didn't get answer. Under V1.0A7, I have no way to send/receive MMS (SMS no problem). Does A8 solved it or not? Or even you guys never have this bug? I need the function so I have to go back RevolutionHD temporarily.

Anybody can give a hint will be highly appreciated.
[Desire HD Android Development] hopscotchjunkie:
Works fine here, on both A7 and A8. You need to have data enabled to send MMS, so try that if you haven't already.

If not, there was some discussion about the problem in the IceColdSandwich thread, with some suggestions for different APN settings to try. Might be worth having a search through that thread to see if there's anything relevant to your operator/location.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Had that problem on another ics rom but not this one ... verify your apn settings are correct ... also sometimes deleting the username and password from the apn has helped some users ...
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Thanks!

Quick note to give a

BIG Thanks

to azahtoth for his generous donation! Again thanks to everyone who helps in the threads and all users who previously donated. And of course all of the talented devs that made ICS possible on this device!
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
you guys rock. Smooth all around. Sorry if I haven't been able to romp around with it too much lately. Currently bug testing 3-4 different ics rooms for dhd and inspire. But again awesome work keep it rollin. =-)

Got a question, maybe it's just me being stupid but I can't seem to set the phone to silent and have vibration enabled. Im one of those that likes/needs vibration enabled in all modes. Whenever I try to turn vibration on in silentmode it turns sound on and vice versa.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Quick synopsis of this rom for you flappy : ;)

Ascension:

Lightweight, slim, full of powerful features and great on battery.

LC-ICS:

OMMNOMNOMNOMNOM FEATURES ZOMG

(bloated)

:D I kid... eh maybe not
[Desire HD Android Development] Stilleh:
Tried that already though. Doesn't matter what I choose. As soon as I use the toggle to silence the phone, vibration resets...
[Desire HD Android Development] MrYuiM:
So far so good, nothing to complain about. When I come across issues I'll be sure to update this post :]
[Desire HD Android Development] nikorette:
Have you tried the stock music player? 3rd party apps might not like ics espesially on a dhd

Could try enabling volume+ in collective tools

On another note. What radio should we be using? my wifi connection isnt the best interms of stability.

[Desire HD Android Development] ForceField:
Strange,did you full wiped ?

after reading your comment I retried the camera and everything is working . I also read a comment about the camera not working with flash but is is also working very well on my Desire HD with it.

I usually try an ICS build for 30 min or 1 hour than I flash another ROM but here and after 3 hours I am beginning to customize it.

It seems that The Collective with this ROM really means business :)

[Desire HD Android Development] shadowraiin:
Yes every time after aplying . Tried twice with all off them.
[Desire HD Android Development] Bestevaer:
I Tried that, didn't work.

I hear the static noice from every sound which my phone produces, like when someone calls me, or even a conversation. I did run Virtious R4 before this and I didn't had this problem.

I'll wait for a next version then ill try it again.
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
It's not strictly true that 'the camera works' - it doesn't.

It only works as well as other ROMs and the Abso Camera (Angel Camera) is only working in low resolution, therefore no bad artefacts. As soon as you put the camera in 'fine' mode to get hi res - it will crash.

Please note, that if you use the menu option to set the resolution (in Abso/Angel Camera) it does NOT use that resolution until you also select 'fine' mode from the onscreen overlay buttons (near the shutter button).

Summary - The camera is in the same situation as other ROMS. It doesn't work fully.

Speed of this Rom as loosely comparable with LC's V3.0.

It's faster than Virtuous RC3 (but that's a few weeks old now).

Very nice Rom all in all.

Personally I will go back to LC's rom simply because it's (arguably) slighly more vanilla, and not too many addons. Some folks like extras, some don't.

All the same, I'd definitely recommend this ROM to anybody wanting to try ICS and needing something pretty reliable.
[Desire HD Android Development] iPwn_:
The stock camera has the same glitches as Lord's build, and Angel camera works fine in both (although Ascension has it built in).

As for comparing them:

Ascension's advantages:

Smoother and faster

Useful CPU tweaking menu (wake and sleep governors + UV options)

Much more stock experience. No extras like 6-bar network or clock AM/PM

OTA updates

Downloadable Ascension mods and tweaks from the menu

Fantastic battery life after flashing LorD's 8.9b6 kernel (but stock kernel isn't that great)

IceColdSandwich's (3.0) advantages:

Much more customization like different batteries, different clock styles, signal bars, 4 and 8 way lock-screen, etc.

Much more non-CPU performance options like KSM and scrolling cache

DPI changer works better. In Ascension, the colors in menu and window dividers turn black.

Great battery life
[Desire HD Android Development] Enterprise-D:
I've just finish to flash ascension, seems very good.

As expected, this is a vanilla rom compared to LC build, with less stuff. (I' missing the 8 way lockscreen :( )

Can we hope some mods/stuff like this on absolution OTA?:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Thanks for pointing that out as I was not aware. Just added that commit as well as a few others and am compiling as we speak. Will test and upload if this fixes the dpi issue for me.

Thanks again!
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
I just Enabled Ad Blocking through the tools app and it is working for me. Not sure what the problem is. Report back if you figure it out.

[Desire HD Android Development] ericute:
@flappjaxxx,

Is it possible to include FM Radio? :o I have yet to find an ICS ROM with FM Radio, that's why I keep switching back to GB :o
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:

[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Get volume ace from market, or even sound manager and use it to reset your volumes...see how they work with toggling various vibration silent etc
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
I actually use volume ace to adjust my system volume as there is no slider for that in the sound settings

Did you change DPI at all? It happens sometimes when you change DPI settings.

Edit...mine is good on stock dpi (disregard the custom circle :eek: )
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Ah yes I'm on 220 dpi... no biggie :D

Yes if i remember correctly 220 and 200 used to do that to me.

Status bar Center Clock...........?

Is it anyway possible to change the clock location in the status bar to the center with this rom, I can't seem to find this option, I have looked everywhere.

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] m177er:
The settings for that are not in this ROM. It requires an xml in SystemUI.apk to be modified.

Edit

I really like the ROM by the way.
[Desire HD Android Development] enifeder:
Green Line at top

Very nice rom.

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on why my phone has a green line showing above the notification bar?
[Desire HD Android Development] m177er:
That's the battery bar, found in settings.
[Desire HD Android Development] enifeder:
Haha nevermind. Just realised it is the battery bar ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] dahuzi:
Thanks for your kindly answer, I did check the APN setting as it's the easiest method. No any problem found, and I can browsing with the same setting. Only problem is MMS.

Since I can't remember clearly I flash this ROM is above RevolutionHD 6.3.2 or a clean base, I will try to wipe everything and reflash it to try.

EDIT: I reflashed V1.0A8_B2.zip after fully wiping. The MMS works. But found the new bugs:

1. The default keyboard setting will be hijacked by Google Voice after each reboot. Even I disabled it in Setting menu but doesn't help. So every time I reboot the phone, I must goto Setting menu and choose my keyboard again(actually I did nothing since my keyboard keep sticked).

2. I installed an app from Market named one click to switch-off screen or something like that. Also need to active again after each reboot.

3. Phone always FC if DPI set below 200.

4. A-Cam only take photo @1280x720 resolution no matter what res. I set.

Overall, I would like to keep it as daily driver as I am satisfied with major functions working well.
[Desire HD Android Development] conio_boy:
Awesome

Just the best build for me out there at the moment. SWEET! Thanks for this.
[Desire HD Android Development] Guichinga:
Mostly Perfect

Congratulation to this really mostly perfect ICS rom.

I was really reading the entire thread before I was flashing the rom including a full wipe :D

Actually I can say everything I do require for my daily work is working fine :)

Sometimes the touchscreen is not reacting immediately and I do have to do it twice - but this is uncritical at all ;)

What I do have at the moment is a huge battery drain, despite the majority of the user do not have that issue :(

After the first day I installed out of the Collective Tools section the "Standard Undervolt" settings and expected to improve the situation.

After 2 hours I am now down on 87% battery without extensive usage of the phone. Only WLAN is active the whole time. The main resource consumer is shown as the display with 63%. In the settings it is set up as automatic brightness usage and the display in general seems not to be too bright at all. It is rather dark.

Maybe you might have some ideas how to improve the drain situation on my DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] ijball:
Hi guys, is the facebook calendar sync working in this version? I've tried back reading but I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Make sure to perform a full wipe / factory reset in recovery and then don't restore any apps or system settings with Titanium Backup etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Hasn't really been touched upon, must not be an issue? I don't use it though so....
[Desire HD Android Development] ThrashMan:
The first ICS ROM to stay on my DHD for more than 24 hours....good job :)

Angel Camera seems to work reasonably well but is there any way to create a shortcut straight to Angel Camera rather than going through your custom launcher please?
[Desire HD Android Development] Guichinga:
That's exactly what I did, as the phone was fully wiped and factory reset etc. and Titanium Backup was prior the installation not available. So I installed everything out of the market from scratch.

I will try another battery by today evening and check whether it is behaving differently.
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Uninstall it from the market and reinstall it from there

Search xda for betterbatterystats app. Use that to see what is causing your battery drain. Battery life was excellent in our testing, so it's probably an errant app.

Enjoying using this ROM. Very good work indeed.

Nice and clean, 'feels' faster than others (could be placebo, but as long as I believe it's a little faster, that's good enough).

Possible issues:

- OTA update is claiming a new version is available (current version is A8 b3). The OTA update claims A8 also, but fails to mention the 'b' revision. b4?

- At 190DPI, the status bar notifications have a gap (bottom margin?) between them.

- In Collective Tools, it's not clear what Desire HD (or Inspire 4G Branding is)? (build prop device?)

- In Collective Tools, it's not clear if Sound Fixes are still appropriate for the ROM

- In Collective Tools, it's not clear what Data tweak is doing

- There appears to be two versions of A-Cam installed (1.0 and 1.37) - according the Titanium Backup

Again, very impressive. Highly recommended ROM for those that want to remain in control, and have a slender, responsive build with minimal extras.
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Questions are fine it is just a little bit annoying when it is clearly stated in the first post to not ask for Cyanogenmod Features. I have added AOKP to that same statement. One of my goals with this rom is to have a lean functional rom with specific features that will benefit many without a ton of bells and whistles which some may consider bloat. This is not a jab at anyone else's work in any way. This is what I like, I make this for me and choose to share it with the world. If I find a new useful function that I like I may add it in the future. If everyone wants me to add all of the features that are in Lord's AOKP or CM9 builds, then there is really no reason to run this rom at all. Enjoy the rom for what it is, just don't expect to be something that it never will be.

Thanks!

flappjaxxx OUT!
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
If ota is claiming there is an update then there is something wrong with your install. Did you do a full wipe before installing? Have you been restoring stuff from Titanium Backup?
[Desire HD Android Development] grzesiek1945:
Ok im understand but it could be Little Mod not build in, Just separate zip. I think with for example 70% transparent notification bar, your rom could looks better. Its only my opinion so dont scold me :/

Always full wipe, without exception.

Only user apps and user data restored with TB, most significant app being the launcher.

Only mods applied are DHD sound fix, Data Tweak, Call Recorder and 190DPI (all via Collective Tools).

I'm on B2 - it's claiming an update is available.

Apologies for the B3 typo, but doesn't detract from the initial report

I've noticed a minor spike on battery level (it rose about 5% for a short while) - without charging. It 'appears' to coincide with GPS turn on.

It looks like turning on the GPS managed to generate a battery value that defeated any filtering. It's totally minor, just interesting (to me), poss to devs.

Battery drain otherwise is fairly linear :-)

The problem is, everybody has little 'extras'... somebody wants a transparent status bar, someone ones a better launcher, someone wants a 'tweaked' kernal for performance, someone wants Titanium Backup as standard... before you know it, the ROM is full of 'nice' things... but users like me don't feel in control. There's too much 'added'.

I'd rather start with a nice solid clean build, then add on all the option I need (very few in reality).

Think of it as a car... you can have a lousy car with lots of sexy extras, or you can have a great car with no extras.

This is a great car.

Launcher lags when swiping through pages....I understand its an alpha and I haven't found an ics rom or a launcher (ive tried all the ics ones) that's smooth, kinda like launcher pro or something...why is that?
[Desire HD Android Development] DavidTiger:
With this rom and the default launcher and now IceCold 5.1 with Nova launcher I've never had any lag when swiping pages..even with shortcuts and widgets on every page..

Try changing governor and/or min,max clocks.
[Desire HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
The only lag I've seen with launchers is when they are set to continuously loop through home screens and there's a lag during the last to first (and vice versa) loop around (wallpaper issue I think(
[Desire HD Android Development] killersloth:
Launcher is so smooth, maybe hardware issue man.
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Ok I have narrowed down the problem with OTA prompting people to update. Apparently the version of tools I added to the server for the update is an older version. My bad! So if you are getting that prompt, which you shouldn't now because I bandaided it for now on the server side, you were getting prompted when you updated tools when in reality there was no initial prompt to update it. If you download the latest tools from the OTA and flash it from recovery you will have the latest version of tools. When I get home from work tonight I will update tools and roll it out as a bug fix release. As far as lag with Launcher2 for the guy that reported that, something you have done to your install is causing lag. Launcher2 on this rom is smooth like butter, and as far as the other launchers included, I couldn't tell you because I don't use them and only include them as a courtesy for users hence that is why they are not supported.
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
Ask the writer of systune.
[Desire HD Android Development] flappjaxxx:
1. OTA Update shouldn't prompt you now as I explained it in a previous post and will officially fix it later tonight

2. Running anything other than stock dpi is bound to cause graphical weirdness. That is not specific to this rom. Different roms will result in different results in dpi change. To me this isn't a bug as I run 240 dpi and again I add this feature as a courtesy for you users.

3. Desire HD and Inspire 4G branding is just a string in the build.prop where the phone identifies itself. I have an Inspire 4G so that is what this ships as default. If you are on a Desire HD changing the branding and rebooting it will identify itself as a Desire HD instead of an Inspire 4G

4. This ships with Inspire 4G specific sound files. People on Desire HD complained of sound weirdness so I added the Desire HD sound files as a downloadable install. If you are on a Desire HD and you install the Desire HD sound fix you will almost surely have better sound. If I had a Desire HD to test on I could 100% confirm this but I don't so I am just going on users' feedback on this one.

5. Data tweak changes a few strings in the build.prop that in some markets has proved to increase data reliability and speeds but in some markets makes no difference at all. This ships with those strings already tweaked. So it is just a try and see what works best for you kind of situation

6. It is safe to delete 1.0. I will fix this in the next update so it deletes previous versions but as always recommended, if you do a clean install this won't happen.
