Bug?

I'm testing beta6 from a day and it's really impressive, fast, smooth and almost everything works fine.

Although I've found a problem that no one has encountered yet, couldn't find anything about it in this 3d...

Automatic settings for time/date/time zone and the current weather position are always from Datong,China (but I'm from Italy :o).

Gps works fine, even using only cell data, gmaps retrives the correct position so what could cause this problem? Maybe I made a mistake while flashing?

My italian DZ comes from Virtuous Sense 2.0 and never had this problem (radio 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stactic:
What do you think, will the camera will be working soon?

And does anyone know, why the camera does not work in the rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
camera

I was wondering the same thing, perhaps we can use the drivers and libs from the mexdroid fried ice cream since the camera works flawlessly on it, it even works with third party apps so I think they have the perfect drivers (in my opinion)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stactic:
Yeah, I hope that this will be build in this rom!

And fixing the "?" bug on the (german) hw keyboard would be awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
Guys, as far as I know, we can't just port the libs from a CM/AOSP based ICS rom since sense uses vastly different framework. Plus, the One V has the Imagesense thing which differs slightly from our chipset. Again, don't quote me on it since this is just my understanding of the matter. Someone more knowledgeable than me, please feel free to correct me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
Yea I believe you are right but since I have nothing else to do at the moment I will try to mod the zip file with the camera libraries and the hw folder so files and reflash to test it, will update when this does "

not

" work :/ just to at least say someone has tried it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stactic:
Sounds like a good plan. Hope to hear good news soon!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Guys if it was this easy wouldn't the camera already be working now?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
And did the virtual keyboard work for you? It didn't show up for me... Maybe its because I have cs_CZ layout selected that I did not see in the roms files?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
i dont know if you had any of the early ics roms running on your phone. but they had the exact same problem with the software kb not showing up. i think it has something todo with the rotation issue.

Just found out, the FN keys do work but for example "FN+N" gives you "~".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
Thanx for info, i was affraid, that it is just me being (not so much) suprisingly unlucky :D

I'll wait for another upload by Taz then, I just hope he can fix wifi, sw Keyboard and orientation and hopefully also HW keyboard in it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stargazer418:
That would be /system/build.prop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
He can but the latter stuff, keyboards and orientation, require some odexing of the services.jar thing that cjward gave but it's complicated sadly DX
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
Pitty it can not be just taken from another build (A13?) where this was already solved... OK, I'll try to be more patient, cause a lot had been changed since the time I did my last android ROM...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Yeah I think it has something to do with those are deodexed but this rom is odexed and that's why it needs to be changed :( if I had ANY idea what to do I would help but sadly do not DX though I was wondering taz, I saw out there a way to odex an entire rom, so what if you deodexed the rom, threw in the services.jar, then re-odexed? Just a thought :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Alright, I'm going to flash the ROM again and try odexing the file, using the guide masterismos linked. If I end up with anything of value, I'll let you know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
ok its being uploaded again, currently on 5%...

thats close. what im gunna do is put the file in andromadus, flash it, then odex the whole rom, and extract the odexed file and its .odex counterpart, then push it to this rom :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
I remember we just had a script and tool to odex/deodex files... perhaps it should be quite similar... dunno... but I am quite sure those tools are obsolete now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Good luck! :)

Sounds like a plan :D can't wait to hear if it works :) is it easier to odex a whole rom over a file? Also would the process be slow? Would it be faster on an SSD?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Does the ROM have busybox?

Edit: I'm not sure if this is even possible right now. Apparently, what you do is take the deodexed file, use dexopt to grab a patched_xxx.odex file, and then copy the signature from the original .odex file. We do not have the original odex file, and therefore we have no signature...I'll try something and see if it works out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
i dont think you can odex a single file, ive only seen guides for whole roms... i think it would be faster on an ssd. i was thinking of using that OnLive windows thing, so then i can develop on my ipad too and no matter where i am, and when i upload files it wont use my own internet, but onlives servers instead...hmmm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Nope... Odex'ing isn't faster on an SSD, and it actually uses 1 thread only on my laptop (out of 8...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shinkinrui:
MY KEYBOARD IS WORKING! :D

I replaced the system/usr/keylayout and system/usr/keychars folders in your beta2.zip with the ones from Andromedus and reflashed, the keyboard is working properly now(all keys give correct character, even alt + keys)! Just thought you'd like to know!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Lol why didnt i think of that xd the main reason i went back to andromadus was because i couldnt sign in to anything haha xd.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
You sure it wouldn't go faster? From what I've read its similar to compression which is ridiculously faster on an SSD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
Hey, pals, push another update on the net while i'm driving home, I'm giving you 15 minutes :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Well lol... I haven't odex'ed with a normal HD :rolleyes: sorry.. didn't think about that, always had this Intel 320 in my XPS :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Well his latest build is being uploaded XD but kb and rotation not fixed quite yet :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
lol, well I am not saying its easy but definitely good to give new things a shot. BTW it did not work, got stuck in the HTC screen will try a few more things to see how far I get. I am not a android developer but have worked as a java/.net/c/fortran/tcltk/basic programmer for many years in a lot of industries as well as a db and system admin for the oil industry in linux, windows and osx. So I figured I'd give it a shot.

I will continue my learning endeavor and if anything changes I will keep all posted.

Oh by the way I am not trying to show off, I just want people to know whatever experience I have and might be beneficial to the development of anything I am up for it. I will do whatever to help out XDA since I've been helped many times by them myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
You should have gotten it to at least boot. did you keep the original hwcomposer.msm7x30.so file in the hw folder?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
actually no I replaced it should I have kept the original?

thnx

LOVE this ROM! Best Sense EVER

Seriously...I've never seen Sense work this great. There are bugs still - and quirks - I can't get bluetooth to work reliably always and I'm on beta 6.

Now when looking in software info...I see

Ice Cream Sensewich B5

^^ I assume that's Beta 5 - Though I Clearly flashed the Beta 6. Re-downloaded and flashed it just in case. Is my phone trippin, or is this some oversight in updating the build info?

Thanks TaZ - Keep updating this bad boy - it's awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
It says beta 5 because he didn't update the info in the build.prop for beta 6 but you are in fact running beta 6.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
He forgot to change beta 5 into beta 6 in the build.prop :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dikamilo:
I'm still using Beta 5 but I noticed that app installation and root access is very slow - this take more time that on others roms and this is not problem with download but only with installing status.

BT works just fine but sometime I need to reboot system because can't find devices.

I love battery drain on this rom, more than 2 days on low usage (music play mostly).

I using this rom as main ROM, all works just fine and fast (only this that i changed is launcher - apex launcher, and I deleted htc blotaware like faceook, twitter and others apps and widgts).

So, big thanks for devs for their work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
yes. That file is associated with the kernel and wont boot without it. try to just replace the files associated with the camera. I doubt that it would fix the camera but it should at least boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gr33k:
Thanks Guys!

Thank you for the confirmation about the build.prop entry not being updated.

Anyone else still having spotty Bluetooth connectivity...now I mean trying to find new devices to pair with. Sometimes they come up, some times not. Sometimes a paired device will not pair with the phone too.

On Beta 6 now - reported BT improvements so I wanted again to see if anyone else then is experiencing these oddities?

Thanks again all! XDA is the best community there is for this stuff - hands down :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I just tried to connect to my other phone via BT to send a pic, and I can confirm it's pairing but it wont connect. However it works perfectly with my Plantronics M 155 headset.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
I use bluetooth file transfer from the market and it works for me. Just install it on both phones and it should work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
I've a problem! When I try to install something from the market, it says that my memory is full even if I have plus than 400 free mb so I can't install anything... Can you help me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Snotmann:
Zofox try to reboot your phone, if this is not the solution ... try to fix permissions !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
Rebooted 3 times wiped cashe of the market and fixed permission... After 20 minutes I have realized that just titanium didn't want to install, so I downloaded a previous version, put it into system/apps with chmod 775 and rebooted after that the market notified me that there was an updates and finally i got it! :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
Thanks I will try that add soon as I get home, I will update the forum with any findings

This rom + working camera drivers = best rom for vision

Closing all apps you get 200mb free in ES task manager..

WoW!!

Lightness is at sense 1.9 levels, but it has the charme and fluidity of ICS!! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] celbenjo:
Flashed Beta 6 twice. Thought that I had made a mistake when it still showed Beta 5 in the software info. No USB. I can't sync my music. It does not recognize my phone when I attach it to the Computer. To add file to my SDcard I have to physically remove card, use card reader for transfer, the reinstall. Any help? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
So I copied the camera apk, the lib files associated with the camera along with the hw files also associated with the camera. I changed the camera apk permissions to 644 but now I get an error when opening the camera.

The error is, "can't connect to the camera"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
Don't waste your time, it doesn't work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kamis1333:
For me bluetooth isn't working. My DZ doesnt see any device and my bluetooth headset. Someone have this problem ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deusum86:
The USB Connection while Phone is on doesn't work. Longpress "Power", select Reboot, select recovery and mount the sd card in Recovery, while your Phone is connected via USB. Then your PC will recognize it...;-)

Found some minor Bugs:

- Exchange Calender (Hotmail): No possibility to write events (starts syncing until the battery is empty). Reading events is no problem. It's not a configuration issue since r/w works on my tablet.

- The Calender Widget from Google (AOSP Widget) doesn't refresh automatically. I have to remove and readd it manually everyday. (I don't like the HTC Calendar Widget since it doesn't show the location of the event in widget.

Are these bugs already known and probably beeing adressed in the hopefully soon coming update?

Thx in advance and best wishes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
for me usb work...

Anyway I don't know if can help but htc is planning (or have already done) to release some new devices in China, called "new desire" they have both ics and sense 4.0 A and it seems also similar characteristics of desire hd so maybe they will help in our port... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Try go to settings, set disk drive /mount sd as default, then plug the USB in... does it mount then?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nick14:
could you add scandinavian hardware keyboard ? :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xavicivic:
I need serious help. Whenever I install this rom in freezes in the middle of booting up. I've tried wiping everything under the sun and it still freezes. This is strange to me because when I try installing andromadus, it boots without fail. Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] craiglay:
Have you flashed Desire Z HBOOT?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xavicivic:
Yes I have. Question though. Is there an updated desire Z hboot? Because apparently mine seems to work on sense 3.5 and under. Hmmm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
are you sure it worked? because that is the reason for the desire z hboot.

reboot your phone into hboot and check to see if it says HBOOT -0.84.2000
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Check the MD5 sum to see if it matches
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xavicivic:
That's exactly what it says. Idk I don't think its an hboot problem. The crash usually comes in the middle of the loading applications screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
did you flash superwipeG2+ before flash the rom? i reccoment to all to flash superwipe+ before flashing any rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vishnoo:
Use superwipe ext4 couse normal superwipe transforms your partitions into ext3 and rom speed is muuuuch slower (ext3 in antutu ~2k and ext4 ~2700) and dont forget to wipe all caches AFTER flashing, rom should boot with "android" bootanimation not the "htc one". Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
My rom booted with htc one, does that mean it is a bad flash? The phone works othervise very well. Btw, i flashed Beta 6 over Beta 5, without a full wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
I've done it already, check here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25013313&postcount=8
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] otariq:
No if u had a bad flash then ur phone would most likely be stuck in bootloop the htc one splashscreen is normal cuz this is ported from the one v and taz kept the original splashscreen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Thanks for the info. If you look at the quoted post you see that according to vishnoo, the boot animation should be different.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vishnoo:
in recovery do factory settings reset and cache and dalvik wipe again after flashing. You'll see different bootanimation and rom should work a little bit faster. Thats just my opinion... let's see what will Taz say. Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
Wipe data/factory reset breaks some of the symlinks which is needed for the bootanimation. That's why you see the default android boot screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lilzad:
does the camera not work at all in this rom?? or is it just the video??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WhiteSnake93:
It doesn't work at all.

Neither with inbuild camera app nor with third party apps.

Device: HTC Desire Z

Rom: Icecream Sensewich Beta 6

Ignore this post
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rc_enzo:
Taz, how's progress? I'm not really impatient, but I really want to know what we can expect ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siemz:
Damn , nice might flash this!

Only thing.. the camera :(

i use the camera function the most on all of my phone, isn't there any fix or so yet released?! :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Okay guys, just want to tell you something. During the next 6 weeks development will slow down alot... I have my exams coming up and need to focus on them. I will still be doing development, but far less, and won't post much. this definitely isn't dead though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Never thought I would be happy that I'm in university... My last exam was on the 24th, smooth sailing from now on ;) haha good luck with the exams though!

And to the camera question, no, there is no solution yet, but there are people working on it so no worries there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siemz:
Thanks,

does it fully not work, or just the camera app itself?

Sorry stupid question :o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
It fully does not work, at all, because the new one phones use image sense chips which have some weird drivers to them and such that we can't yet replicate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lineaira:
In the attached picture you see the lockscreen in landscape, if I am using the keyboard I can't unlock my phone. Is there any way to fix it??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d.skarb:
Is there any way to change only lockscreen wallpaper in this version of Sense? Or is that option just in "full" Sense?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Michal8d6:
Maby you can try to switch driver on that from CyanogenMod9 beta 2 ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xavicivic:
Thanks ill give it a try. Got a link for me?

Even if you guys are having some conversation with each other, I still just want to say thanks to the dev for bringing new life to my device. Nice work. :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
Go to this site from your phone and upload your service.jar

It'll transform it and give you a service.jar that works with Supercharger

THis is slightly off-topic, but heres a picture of my latest creation, due to release tomorrow (also my DD)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Bit more info please :p what is it :)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Some type of sense rom

Youll find out tomorrow ;)

Sense and xperia launcher. Looks awesome
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miscz:
Xperia launcher from here? Amazing [/sarcasm]

Unless Timescape is actually working because it's a bit of pain in the ass to set it up properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
I bow to you and your amazing rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
You have camera and camcorder on your home screen. Does this mean they work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Yes timescape works [/IMG]

Yep they work (not in this ROM, my upcoming one )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Also, beta 7 should come soon...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
ROM is based on gingerbread not on ice cream sandwich right? :) and we don't have all the HTC widgets? And how about ram memory? :)

Ok I've tried wiping and formatting to ext4 and still no luck. Desire z hboot is in tact, but Its always crashing right when it tries to load the homescreen. I've just about tried everything. I'm about ready to give up on this rom :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
This rom don't have all HTC widget? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
No, its not full sense 4.0, its a minimalistic version which makes it more smooth on our phone. the full sense would be too ram heavy
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Have any of the other Sense 4 ROMs worked on your phone? Or even ICS for that matter (might as well ask)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xavicivic:
Ill tell u this much. Andromadus audacity worked like a charm. As for the other sense 4 roms? Haven't tried them. Sounds like an idea I'm going to try out. Ill let you guys know what happens
