Ok guys, I see I am the only one with this problem. I'll try to look for the solution myself, and if I come up empty handed, I'll just flash a different ROM. Thanks guys for your hard work on this. Unfortunately, I can't use my Inspire til I get this camera flash figured out or flash a new rom. Thank you again, peace out.

There is definitly something wrong with charging

BUG:

My phone is now plugged in for about 3 hours. Battery Monitor Widget says it is 84% Full, charging with only 58mA, estimated time to full 3hours 30min, temperature 17C.

There is definitely something wrong with charging protocol.

You need to recalibrate your battery.

To those who said a fragmented SSD is not a problem, have a look at this:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4202/the-intel-ssd-510-review/4

Intel SSD 510 250GB.

Random Read: 48.9 MB/s

Random Write: 49.6 MB/s

Sequential Read: 232.1 MB/s

Sequential Write: 193.6 MB/s

That's SSD class flash drive.

On a bog typical SD Card, a 4 MB/s sequential read/write will become less than 1 MB/s given the same firmware on the same integrated controller running at the same speed (which gives you the best case scenario).

So those who said you do not need to defrag your SD Cards, rebuttal please.

[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
please where do you get out something about defragmenation from this articel? its not even mentioned. its about random vs. sequential read/write. logical adressed. (you don't even know if the nand controller would put logical beneath adressed blocks physically beneath as the may interfere electrically)

the original desire dev forum has a lot of information about this stuff. alignment, filesystem, readahead, scheduler, journal/writeback and sqlite/no pragma is where to look for what matters. and of course the kind of controller thats on the sdcard and the quality.
[Desire HD Android Development] zachs_xda:
Why should you care what the NAND controller does internally to do wear levelling and where it *physically* places each block of data??

Data is fragmented in logical address space == more random accesses

Free non-fragmented contiguous space in logical address == OS/app can write sequentially

Data in contiguous space in logical address == OS/app can read sequentially

1 + 1 = 2.

Article is testing logical addressing too -- there's no way you can access an SSD otherwise, and you should never ever do that.

And we're discussing the performance impact of fragmentation on NAND based storage devices -- i.e. NAND controller + NAND chips speed. Nothing to do with filesystem (which specifies whether one has journalling) or other crap you just said. When you're merely playing back a media file, sqlite isn't used.
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
so you're basically saying it's faster to get a file when its logical adresses are

00001001

00001010

00001011

than

00001001

10100000

01001001

thats not what the artical is about

sequential != defragmented

the article compares writing lots of random files (4k) to one big file

one big file with the same amount of data is faster, surprise

and compares that on different sdd's

nowhere is defragmention mentioned nor that the blocks of the large file are logical or physical with adresses beneath or if that matters.

maybe there is an argument for formating the sdcard, or other defragmention methods, but the article clearly is not

same problem here...only black screen after reboot aroma...

[Desire HD Android Development] vvojtek:
no way... this working i suppose you not searching.... anyway after flash do not reboot with aroma you need to click "no" and reboot with clockwork, and will be good.
[Desire HD Android Development] dezborders:
Take the battery out and go back to recovery... then...

1. Perform a full wipe

2. Flash the Rom (again)

3. Do NOT reboot with aroma, reboot using recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] Randles:
I'd just like to say a massive thank you to the Dev's you've all done an amazing job fare play to you all :good:

I've come from the most resent ARHD rom which was also amazing but now we have a near enough perfect ICS port for our DHD's. Great work guys, loving it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Ok, after few days of usage I can tell I like this rom quite much. It has no big bugs but only one... which is VERY serious.

It's battery drain. With no important applications, rom itself can have average mA drain about 100mA which is very big drain. Never happned to observe drain less than 30mA-60mA which isn't normal too (should be about 3mA to 10mA while in sleep). Most weird is that while in sleep, the system can drain max about 200mA!!! This is unbelievable since 200mA is amount which till now only the screen could achieved, and I'm almost sure that screen did not worked during the sleep.

The bug with GPS not going to sleep after stopping it's usage seems not to occur while not using WiFi access point functionality (which is weird, but may be connected - radio). The same about not working WiFi - it works well if no WiFi sharing were enabled before. Worst thing about the radio (but still I do not treat it as a serious bug) is that metallic audio about which multiple users said before me.

So, if anyone can guide me how to get rid of this bad drain (and I'm rather advanced user and I tried different things including freezing half of the system apps which I do not use, blocking autostarting apps and so on), I would be very grateful. I suppose it may be connected to the radio problems which would be very bad because hard to fix, or very good if someone did achieved to run this rom with proper radio...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! :D

Let's find the power hungry bug

Have you been able to pinpoint the battery drain culprit? (stupid question, if you did you would have said so) What I mean, is it an application or something related to system, like "Cell standby", or "Phone idle"...

What did you use to measure the mA values?

I'm asking because I actually had amazing battery life with this ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] AlexLoganLee:
First off, let me say that you guys had done a great job on this ROM.

I can't believe that so many things are working.

But I do have some bugs/suggestions.

1. Is it possible to have the option to control the media volume without unlocking the screen?

2. GPS is quite laggy. It takes much longer than my previous ROM (Revolution HD).

3. Screen freezes and turns gibberish. Especially when using Chrome.

4. I experienced that the phone auto-shutting down stuck on the blackout logo when I was on the call for more than 10 mins.
[Desire HD Android Development] Randles:
Yeah same here

Radio ROM

Can anyone recommend a radio ROM to use with this ICS release?

I ran the hack kit which downgraded to root the phone, and then put this rom on the phone.

It seems mostly good, but I have a couple of issues....

It runs very slowly when I install an app, sometimes for a few minutes, and the dta performance seems really slow over 3G connection.

Any help would be great, many thanks for a great rom,

Chris.

[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
I use Battery Widget to determine the drain. About apps/processes/services causing the most drain there is no proper candidate as the drains are similar (of course descending donw the list, but diffs are not big). After a day of usage with recharging, usage went more differentiated and said that the screen is worst as of the drain, and the rest is very little (phone did most just past the screen) so it became very similar to other roms, but I do not know yet waht will be tommorow as this result is first time quite regular/normal today's evening... Maybe this will stabilise with teh time? (stupid hope, but once I've noticed similar behavior in other rom, but didn't believed the reason - thought it's accidental)

[edit]

By the way, battery widget is not measuring the drain at all on "automatic" setting - i have to set "Some HTC devices" which is very unusual as on the other roms all went fine at automatic. Do you know anything about this?

Or maybe you do know better app to measure the drain?

Ok, I'll wait two days, and when nothing changes, I will do it (and I will be sad about not having OC)

This rom is quite important to me as it fulfills all my wishes about ICS - to have ICS with all the apps made by HTC for the gingerbread. It is just what I needed, so I would like to help make it as stable as it can be.

If there is anything I could do to help, just say it (and even better PM me as I look here not too often - much work)

Thanks guys for the rom, it's really really good move :)

PS. What about the metallic sound? Any solution for this?
[Desire HD Android Development] zachs_xda:
WOW!! The article isn't even testing 4K files vs 128K files! Where the hell did you get that idea and jumped to a 'surprising' conclusion?

EDIT: It is clear you do not understand how IO benchmark programs work. Read up on how to read/write to a storage device without opening/creating a file. Once you understand that, you may continue to read the following.

Default cluster size of FAT32 is 4K, if the file is completely fragmented, how the hell are you going to be able to read a file in 128K block without causing the OS / filesystem / controller to issue multiple random addresses?

And you do not have to speak in binary - we're all humans in this forum (logical addresses do not have to be represented in binary).

addr 0*4K

addr 1*4K

addr 2*4K

...

addr n*4K

The above non-fragmented file allows you to SEQUENTIALLY read in n*4K blocks.

addr 10*4K

addr 50*4K

addr 1000*4K

addr 4000*4K

This does *NOT* allow you to read sequentially in 128K blocks.

The article is completely applicable. Why do you think they did not test 4K random vs 4K sequential? Because that would not be representative of real work loads.

There. Completely spoon fed you.

for the battery Drain problem, I've got one !, Try enable "Data Connection" then your battery will drain so fast, compared to my previous ROM.

But if I use wifi connection, yes its drain but it still alright.. not that fast compared to Data Connection.

Camera

If you want to change the jpeg quality settings, you may edit /etc/media_profiles.xml

just find properties ImageEncodingQuality and change 90 to 100 or 95 or 99

The first one has a list like this "90|80|70..."

Add your value in the beginning - these are the possible values of the property

Others has a single value and I changed only the places where it was 90 to 100.

Pictures become much larger, but nothing is lost.

Maybe there should be additional setting or profile for highest quality pictures.

If the settings for the camera are configurable and someone knows where they are (available modes and so on) I would like to play around with them.

And never forget to make a backup before editing. Writing wrong values may break your camera app (It never happened on my phone, but I touch carefully) and it is best to be able to restore to the original file.
[Desire HD Android Development] DarksideChris:
When you get to the end of the installer process and it asks if you want to reboot, press NO

Then reboot it from the bootloader, it takes about 5 minutes to get the Blackout logo on the screen, and then a further 5 minutes, maybe more before it's working.

Hope this helps,

Chris.

Phew! Finally managed to get to the end of this thread! After reading through the useful info and the unavoidable whining, off topics, rude posts etc...

I have to say thus Rom rocks! Great job guys! Can't tell you how grateful I am for this Rom! ICS on my DHD! I almost gave up on it after HTC's announcement...

Installed it last week and everything working ok so far. The only bug that does affect me is the long SMS issue but that should be fixed in the update, so fingers crossed.

Also, can anyone recommend best radio for Orange UK and setcpu profiles / settings for best battery life please? Just to see if I've optimized my settings :)

Once again team blackout, amazing job! Please ignore those ungrateful comments from silly people, and keep up the good work!

Sent from my Desire HD loaded with Blackout ICS!
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Any examples? I see that I have this option UNSET so:

1. What is the default? (isn't it 100%?)

2. Where to enter the value?

Best would be paste of the file here after editing.

And about drain - confirming - 3G drains the energy. When I did switch off 3G, drain was usual 3mA-10mA, so it was perfect.

3G needs fixes.

>WiFi is very flaky on my Inspire with this ROM

Funny, My phone is DHD and when I discovered ARHD (soon after I bought the phone.. something like a month) it was the only ROM I was using on daily basis. Off course I tried a lot of different ROMs but ARHD with recommended radio worked best.

Wifi was OK. But with BlackouICS WIFI is on fire! I never had such a good signal, speed and stability. Didn't changed RADIO or RIL.

---

Known bugs are being attended to as I understand.

BUG: But I cannot pinpoint what causes one particular bug: Phone becomes so laggy I that just for restart I must wait a couple of minutes. Turning on bluetooth can cause this for some people but I never use Bluetooth on this phone.

It is never one app. Sometimes I'm browsing the web with Opera Mobile, sometime I listen to music. Then for example in Opera Mobile I want to zoom, so I perform pinch to zoom, but it needs 20 second that even figure out I perfomed a command. Then I want to quit and must wait like a minute or two. Then long press Power button - again 30 seconds. And as it draws options it is drawing with 1 Frame Per 10 seconds.

---

ADVICE: GPS on this rom work so much better that I cannot believe it is possible. Just like 300EUR Garmin in my car. BUT. Yes there is always a but. First time I tried GPS, I didn't get a lock and I waited for about 6 minuts (in 6 minutes I smoke a cigarette :) )

My solution is: From Google Play download free app "GPS Status." Start it till it downloads AGPS Data and get a lock. Then every GPS app will get a lock in a couple of seconds with accuracy less than 10 meters.

---

I posted before that I am having problems with charging. I did recalibrate battery (some ROMs have some script so you do not have to do this yourself) but didn't helped. Despite charging problem which takes 4 or even 6 hours I have amazing battery life. My phone with ARHD ROM lasted a day - 20-30% left at the end of a day. With this ROM, OCed to 1.4Ghz with higher voltage (than ARHD*), at the end of the day I have 50% or more battery available. This is a mystery to me.

*With ARHD I could not Overclock more then default even with higher voltage. Got into bootloop pretty soon. Even If phone was asleep. I don't know how you achieved this DEVs, but you made my old DHD a new phone. When HTC announced DHD wouln't get ICS update and here on xda every ICS ROM had a lot of problem I was looking for a new phone. Having played with SGS3 I decided I must try HTC One, because I didn't (don't) like SGS3. (Or Samsing phones at all.)
