need some help... as now im stuck with out a phone...

I pull my battery... put it back in.. at the same time push volume down and power button... my splash screen comes up then goes to the blacked out screen.

I just got it to work by holding volume up and power button vibrated 3 times... then pulled battery and did volume down and power im recovering my old rom... how can i get this rom to work??[/QUOTE]

Check the MD5 checksum for the rom download to make sure you have a good file downloaded. If it checks out, then go to recovery and choose it to flash. When the Aroma installer comes up, follow the prompts and choose themed installer, full wipe, and do not use it to back up your apps. I actually hung on this when it was restoring them. Back them up with something like Titanium Backup and only back up your apps. No system stuff. I am including a Windows app that will check the MD5 checksum. Copy and paste the MD5 checksum that is given in the first post for this rom download. Then browse and select where your downloaded rom file is. It will tell you if the codes match. If they do not, then delete the file and download it again.

Edit: Forgot to add this one. When asked to reboot within the Aroma installer, select NO. Go back into recovery and reboot from there.[/QUOTE]

Wolf - did you ever get this resolved?

I was going to suggest you restore your phone with the factory RUU and then re-root. I think you cleaned your phone too good and wiped your boot image.

I was going to just post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1380385 for you to review and then noticed it is in your signature already.

Just to educate us, what did you use to wipe clean your phone? What steps did you take?

I think you misread the post. The quotes from two different people are mixed together. The part of the quoted text in blue is my response to them. I did not have any problems installing this a while ago. It's been running fine, besides minor issues which are already known. I was responding to and trying to help someone else, "gcihlar", who was stuck during install. I have not seen them post back as to whether they were successful or not. Thanks for checking up on this though.
[Desire HD Android Development] da__beast:
Probably - I read a lot of posts since I was out of town (don't like to post a response when there are 10 more pages to read through first). I went back and saw yours and ran with it.

Sorry all for the confusion - gcihlar - if you are still having problems, let us know.
[Desire HD Android Development] QD2DC:
For the sake of doings so, a small update. We are prepping a beta to the coming update, hopefully addressing the last bugs. Beta will be made available to those that have donated as a thank you for doing so. Once beta testing is done, update will be available for all, hopfully a mid/late week release. Don't bother donating in hopes of getting a beta. That's not how a works. It's a thank you for those that did, not expecting anything in return. But it may become common practice to use donators as beta testers. Stayed tuned. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] horsetastic:
This is a really nice idea....Also I'd like to add that I am now going to donate, though not to gain anything and I honestly do not mind waiting for the full update release it's not like we've got to wait years for it lol.

I always forget about donating and go for the thanks button each time, though again if I donated to every ROM I've used I'd be super skint haha!

Charging

Hi.

Using Battery Monitor Widget I am observing some strange behavior while charging. ARHD 6.3.3 was charging with 600-700mA. BlackoutICS is whole another beast. :)

With your ROM, when the battery is empty, it starts charging with 800-900mA. Then it decrees over time. First to around 600mA when it reaches 30%, then now I'm seeing 74% charged but it's charging with 360mA. edit: now 81% 166mA. /edit

Strange behavior.

Do you have an explanation for this?

I posted I was having problems with camcorder. Yesterday I OCed from 1.2 to 1.4 and in the evening I wanted to take a picture, but accidentally turned to camcorder. I started recording and everything was OK. Didn't believe my eyes! I don't know what helped. Maybe OC from 1.2 to 1.4? I tried to put it back to 1.2 and still works perfectly. I saw it even autofocuses while recording - that ARHD 6.3.3 didn't have. PERFECT!!!

Love you fellow* DEVS!!!

*I'm software developer but I work in HPC area. Know about linux kernel up and down but never tried to learn about Android. Just do not have enough free time.

Some 10 pages behind I saw someone asking about defraging SD card. It "should" not need defrag but in some cases it helps. Don't remember which problem it solves but I can tell that I defragged my 32GB "Fast" SD card and gallery was much faster. I'm software developer and I know it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. But it helped! Didn't believed my eyes. BUT CAUTION! Do this once and if it helps you in some kind a way, don't make a habit of it. Once a couple of months or when problem occurs. If someone can explain why it helps with problems and why my phone was loading gallery super fast, please do. I don't see any technical reason why it could changed anything.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

As I see that my phone is like a new one with BlackoutICS ROM and being software developer myself, you can expect a donation from me too.

---

Please PM me someone who's already donated (have a question).
[Desire HD Android Development] masteryx:
I've seen 800-900 mA charging values with ARHD 6.3.3 too, I dont' think it's unusual. Also the noticed the decrease in mA values as the battery charges and I think it's normal. The older the battery, the sooner the decrease while charging.

As for the camcorder, it worked fine for me even at 1075 MHz, ondemand (with Blackout ROM). And once again sorry to burst your bubble, but focus while recording works on ARHD too. I'm using it daily, I'm 100% sure about this.
[Desire HD Android Development] zachs_xda:
I said that. :p

I'm a hardcore Windows app cracker and I know x86/x64 asm inside out, work full time as a programmer using C++11 with all its metaprogramming glory on both Debian and Windows and C# with linq / nhibernate / WCF. Did a tiny bit of Android app programming as a hobby but never ROM / kernel cooking / porting. I too did not believe defraging SD card would help but I tried it (of course I didn't use an app to defrag -- I backed up the contents, and quick formatted the sd card) and it did help enormously. I do not know the typical latency between issuing an address and reading/writing from an SD card, but if I were to hazard a guess, it would be in that direction. I'd imagine it is the controller that causes the slow down, as opposed to a mechanical latency with the traditional hard disk.

Is there an ad blocker installed on this ROM?

If so that's pretty ****ed up using an ad supported site to promote it, and asking for donations on top of that
[Desire HD Android Development] horsetastic:
When have they ever 'asked' for donations? It's no longer a donation if it's been asked for, it's a payment. The idea is if you wish to donate to support the ROM and help fund the work on it then you may do so. It's your choice.

Small minded douche bag!
[Desire HD Android Development] masteryx:
Umm... OK then please do not "steal" by simply not using this ROM. Thanks.

Radio is not working

Hello,

I have downloaded Blackout ROM and its very good. I love it well done guys. I came a cross the following problems:

1.Radio app opens but doesn't recognize the headset connected to the phone, although the head set works fine with media players.

2.It doesn't connect to the laptop anymore. Every time I connected using the cable it only charges tried with de-bugging on and off still the same problem tried to restart both the computer and the phone and still continues can you please help!

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] cstayton:
HAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAA, Your too funny, and no there are no add blocker apps installed in this rom. Not sure where you got that idea from in the first place.

P.S. I have asked the moderators to remove your posts.
[Desire HD Android Development] Wafster:
how much should a donation be ?! 1 $ or 100 $ ?
[Desire HD Android Development] cstayton:
a donation is what ever you feel like any amount or none at all, it is entirely up to you.

But thanks for thinking of us.:D:D:D
[Desire HD Android Development] diyabolic:
can we arrange quick settings?

i'm using wifi, gps and data more than flashlight, rotation and similar...can we put those on top or its integrated somewhere?

btw great rom..only thing not working is (everybody knows that) fm radio

tnx
[Desire HD Android Development] horsetastic:
LOL!

Don't see what's wrong with putting up links for donations....I personally have one as I donate a lot of my time to graphics for certain ROM's and thus should people wish to donate to me in thanks for that then they can. Also I have never once stolen or made anyone steal neither does this ROM.

You are what the general public would call, a ridiculous fool.
[Desire HD Android Development] cstayton:
Well at least I know the difference between an Ad Blocker app and a hosts file.
[Desire HD Android Development] skinnypupp:
Oh that's your defense? Because I used the general term "ad blocker" instead of specifying what type of ad blocker you were using? You know an ad blocker can come in the form of a hosts file OR an app... right? You think I don't know what a hosts file is, when I went and took a screenshot of it? ... wtf....

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Nothing wrong with asking for donations. But to use an ad supported service to do so while spreading ad blockers is pretty crass, in my opinion. I am just saying that it shouldn't be the default option for the rom, just leave the hosts file as is, and let the users decide if they want to block ads or not.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mikenif:
:laugh: Made my day. Thanks

Dont know if this is the first custom rom you flashed but editing the host file to block the hordes of adds is pretty common here on XDA

Its a technique described on all the sites that promoted us and were definitely not "slapping them in the face"

Mather of fact the new Blackout App will thank all those that supported and promoted us. Plus it will allow users to undo the host edit. Which it wil still have by default just to improve user experience

[Desire HD Android Development] skinnypupp:
OK now that I got that off my chest, I don't suppose we could work on this bug I found with WiFi tethering? :p
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
I think that is in the Kernel. The Devs here did not add it. And there is nothing wrong with it (and yes I am a blogger who gets Adsence paychecks).

Ad blocking is not illegal. Google Play hosts several, and they have Chrome add-ons too. If Google says they are okay with it, than we should all be. Hey, the TV networks don't require you be chained to your seat to watch their shows. You can leave during ads.

Google ---> Android ---> Freedom of choice.

Move on and pick a ROM that you like.

@all

Sorry for feeding the troll. I just could not keep quiet anymore.

@Devs

Thanks for the ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
^^^^^^what he said ^^^^^
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
It will be fixed. The Dev's are hard at work at it.
[Desire HD Android Development] skinnypupp:
I never said it was illegal. If it was illegal, it probably wouldn't be here at all. It is still stealing though, and that's fine if you want to do that. The point being, the DEFAULT shouldn't be "to steal" it should be a choice made by the user. As you said, the big thing about Android is freedom of CHOICE. So the user should choose ON THEIR OWN to steal from developers and people who make a living selling ads.

I'm glad they are putting in the option to install a blank hosts file, but I still think it should be the default, and the OPTION should be to block ads. I know most people will do that, but to have ad blocking by default is pretty bad, but I already stated that.

As far s trolling, no I am not trolling. I am just sharing feedback on the rom. I apologized for being so antagonistic at first, but I was appaled when I found out that it was the default, just as I was appalled with Revolution HD (before that I had only used roms from Modaco)
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
What's your problem? It's not stealing. If you don't like the Rom then move on. Or if you don't want adblocking then remove it and keep it to yourself. No one owes you anything and no one is making you flash this Rom. Do you forget that devs put their own free time and hard work into this and the last thing they need is some blow hard calling them thieves. Now stop cluttering and trolling.
[Desire HD Android Development] aquifx:
Since majority of the people would not wants ads, we select it as default.

Few people may wants annoying ads so let them be the one to make the choice

Isnt it simple enough :)

Thanks for the ROM, have not tried it but will do as soon as bugs are out :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
I am now running Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0. It has the same host file. Pretty old ROM. No option to change it as far as I can tell. It is a pretty common practice the main purpose of which is to enhance performance and maximize battery life. So no reason to take this ROM to task.

The other issue should be taken up with the Dev community as a whole (if you feel that strongly abut it), and not with these gents.

Sorry, for the troll remark. Lets move on. This is a Dev thread. Lets looks forward to 3.1 instead.
[Desire HD Android Development] skinnypupp:
Again this isn't about ME. The more people who use ad blocking, the more developers get screwed. If people don't want ads, and want to benefit from peoples' work without allowing them to benefit from it, that's THEIR CHOICE. It shouldn't be the default option, is all I'm saying.

I agree on moving on. I hope my opinions don't fall on deaf ears (although it seems like they will) and again I apologize for my attitude with the first few posts. I just hope that some people do consider removing ad blocking from their phones AND their browsers, so people who depend on these to feed their families can have a better life.
[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
I have a hard time believing any significant number of people rely on ads to support their families. You're really grasping at straws, huh?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Could this be moved to PM's? I don't see how this is helping the development.

Hello gents I just had to switch back to VI due to a little problem with this rom. When I am on a call and I receive a mms the call drops. In fact whenever I received an mms the signal would drop completely and then turn back on to allow the message to come in. I loved this rom otherwise and pending the new update I hope to be back by the weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was running on full wipe, Inspire 4g.

Don't know if anyone saw my post, but does anyone have a fix for my Inspire's flash while running this rom? Just to recap my problem; when using the camera on this rom, if the flash is set to anything but off, my phone shuts down. Camera flash has been working for the other roms I have tried. Don't know what's going on here. This is not a deal breaker by no means, just want my flash working again cause I love this rom! Let me know if you need any additional info to get this resolved.

Can someone help, I'm stuck on a black screen.

This is the first time I am trying to install this (v.3.0) [onto a Desire HD].

I made sure to do a full wipe and also use the Android Revolution HD SuperWipe - and also again wiped just before installing the ROM but now it has been on this screen for nearly 15 minutes.

Is this normal when using 1st time?

Could my phone now be bricked? :(
[Desire HD Android Development] da__beast:
Did you search? Did you follow the directions - did you reboot in recovery or did you let the installer reboot?

If you can reboot back into recovery, you can re-flash another rom (or this one) so you are not bricked.
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Need to select full wipe in aroma and then when done don't let aroma reboot. Reboot from recovery. You may have to use adb from blacked out screen to reboot to recovery or bootloader. It's not bricked.

PC Connection & other stuff

PC Connection problem:

Wafster:

One guy posted same problem and solved it by uninstalling HTC Sync, reboot and reinstall HTC Sync.

---

ADVICE: You all should disable Fast Boot - if enabled it doesn't really reboot your phone but knowing linux I would assume it goes to runlevel 3 and then boots DE (GUI) - up to runlevel 6.

So If any error occurred regarding kernel (system) after fast boot it will still be there. And some app doesn'r work properly if this option is enabled.

---

If you check that option that you get message if some background app crashed and then you get options like Wait, Force Close and-someting. I have enabled this and it seems Google+ is always crashing. This is the only app on my phone that causes this. Any idea what can be done?

masteryx:

When I was using ARHD 6.3.3 it didn't autofocus during recording video. I don't have any video to "prove" it, because I deleted them. For me, focus stays at the point prior to hiting record button. I was recording in 720p.

By "Fast" I mean Class 10 SD Card - they are much higher priced and performance is around 30MS/s read and 30MB/s write.

Yeah, it is probably something with controler. And I remembered what problem it solves. If your SD card is mounted read only, after defrag, it is working fine for a lot of people who had this problem.
