0.13 issue with Wifi

Hi,

I'm new to this ROM.

I've already tested regular Sandvold.

My problem is that i cannot activate WLAN on Beta 0.13

Have tried wiping everything, fixing permissions but still the WLAN button oddly as it doesn't want to remain in ON position.

It could be that i'm missing some obvious post-installation "needs to be done" but have no more clue.

This is on a SLCD Desire, latest CM7.2 HBOOT and 5.17.05.23 radio.

As the rest of the ROM looks brilliant i'm really hoping to find a fix to this WLAN issue.

Thanks for your help & work.

EDIT : No such problem under 0.12
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I will replace current 13.1 again with shaky kernel as default. I tried both latest drewis and tiamat but transitions are slower compared to shaky kernel... if someone want to stay with "official" kernels I will provide flashable zip too.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
PUBLISHED 0.13.1

CHANGELOG (16 Jun) :

- updated from Sandvold beta 0.13.1

- substituted default Drewis kernel with Shaky one (tried also Tiamat, but Shaky one still rocks)

- updated 98mydesireI script

[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
what has been updated in the 98mydesireI script? if you don't mind me asking.
[Desire Android Development] peschka:
Ok i have the fallowing question. I'm using version 0.13.1 on CMr2 hboot. Why when my phone screen is turned off it changes my speed to 960-1075 and governor to conservative ? Every time when i change it with SetCPU or Evervolv tools it goest to the old values. Its so annoying. This is the fastest rom I've ever used, but with this bug it lags as hell even in launcher use ... Pls give me advice
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
This is how suiller's modded ROM works. Check here.
[Desire Android Development] peschka:
Yes I saw this but with these setting I barely do 1900 points in Antutu (instead of 3200 when set on smartass v2 386-1153) how can I change screen on governor and speeds ?
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
I don't think this is due to rom's settings. I get 2900 points with the stock ones. I think that for example a slow sd-card may be faulty.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
with display on your cpu is fixed between 998 & 1075, going over 1075 could give issues

if you want change script behavior simply edit it & change min-max values inside it, or even governor
[Desire Android Development] mahastat:
I'm having some problem in recording outgoing calls. Incoming call are getting recorded as usual. While recording outgoing ones the call recorder stops working.

Is there any remedy for it ? Changing kernel or updating apk ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Emh... I have to test... :)

What do you use for call recording?
[Desire Android Development] mahastat:
Skvalex's callrecorder.

This worked fine on sense,3.5 rom by rsk team with snq kernel.

t recorded both way.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Hmm... it could be kernel related issue. Look in repository and try to flash drewis and/or tiamat kernel :cool:
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
ive got a big problem with this rom. flashing via 4ext recovery was no problem but now it tries to boot and all i see is the ANDROID text, for maybe 10 minutes now.

i cant access the bootloader via power + volume down anymore to reflash or format.

what to do?
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Did you full wipe? Which HBOOT do you have?
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
forget it. i formated, wiped and flashed again and everything works fine now. but i swear that in older versions of hboot/bootloader access it was power+volume down and not power+back... anyway thanks for help and good to know :D
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
with Shaky kernel not only transitions are smoother but also battery life is better compared to latest tiamat port...
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I use bcm, but i tested and got opposite results with kernels.....bcm gave by far the better battery.....shaky's seems smoother but drains a lot....

[Desire Android Development] mahastat:
callrecorder on SlimICS

I checked these kernels and all have same problem. Is there any way through ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I think it depends in some way also by certain apps "approach" to system resources (and kernel behavior of course)

for example I noticed that wordfeud game with notification on was always active, in fact battery statistics reported a consumption near to 20% (the game alone!)

sincerely I don't think that kernel battery management is so different between tiamat, drewis or shaky kernel, also because source is the same

probably some setups work better with one kernel/approach while other setups work better with another kernel/approach
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I tried too and you are right... even if I don't need/use it, happens exactly what you described

really don't know where to look, but if you have news feel free to report here so I can implement (above all coordinating with Sandvold)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
anyway I published on dropbox mirror here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8zl76aoewhgmcga/kcGljZD1vA/diaduit.bounceme.net

a test version of 13.1, where I made some mods... the goal is to try avoiding random 2g/3g disconnects, plus not re-gaining network or simply data after wifi/3g switch

issues reported many times here & there

anyway I just used or better I think it should work with a trick, simply re-settings rmnet (isp provider) dns after every display off state (generally rmnet are provider dependent)

in conjunction I added newer ril libraries (2.2.0019G) that "seem" to give good reception combined with a better battery life, but I still have to test deeper... so we have to test :D
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
I still wonder if you may add theme manager/theme chooser to this ROM. It will made this ROM more perfect!
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Nice and very fast rom but cannot be used for everyday use

First of all I applaud the effort.

This sure is an amazing rom, one of the fastest I have seen.

Very smooth and a true eye candy.

However, I faced some major issues which lead me to abandon it.

1) Random reboots. If I am playing a game and receive a phone call, there are high chances that phone will reboot. Not being able to receive a phone call is a very big issue.

2) Wifi and 3G data is highly inconsistent. The reception could be very good at times and suddenly stop working. My 100 mbps wifi that works like a charm with Gingerbread rom can good from super high speed to zero in no time and for no apparent reason, while I am sitting at the same couch.

3) Apps requiring data connection will simply hang if I switch to another application. Eg. if I am on Google + and switch to gmail then G+ will hang. I have to kill it to be able to use it again.

4) Hardly any toggles ( now this is a very minor issue and I do not expect it in a still developing rom).

All these issues are totally understandable in a beta rom. Overall I am very happy with the rom and the effort, just that its not for everyday use.

P.S:: I did a full wipe + dalvik wipe and installed on CM2 with S-Off.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
thank you

never happened to me, but it could due to memory request, unfortunately ics needs much more free ram (to be smooth) compared to gingerbread, anyway I make some experiments to give more free ram during display on against display off state, this should give some stability improvements, but as I told still testing some combinations

this is a known "issues" related to latest kernel published, we have to wait some more optimization, but we can't miss latest kernels because they work together with hw acceleration, even if I barely noticed only 3g disconnects/data drops, while on 3 different wifi AP (work, home, fiance) I get a stable connections such as I previous got with gingerbread (I used oxygen before switching to ics)

never noticed, at least under wifi signal (I'm on wifi almost 90% of the day)

as you stated all ics ported roms are still under an heavy modding status, I remember also that 1st gingerbread roms generation were a pain :rolleyes:

upon my personal opinion ics ported roms are ready for everyday usage, apart some 3rd part app related issues (remember that some app aren't yep optimized for ics) I don't have any major issues, even if I must admit I reboot often my device due to many tests/flash I do everyday, but it happened that I kept the rom without rebooting & without issues for more than 48h consecutively
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
you can incorporate those 2 apk by yourself, it isn't difficult at all...

simply download original Sandvold ics rom, then extract (/system/app theme*.apk) & inject directly into this slim rom (always under /system/app)

it should work (you wont need wiping too)
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
I did. But there is no way to call or run Theme Chooser.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
under settings I suppose... anyway have you tried or better you know for sure that theme manager works under Sandvold original rom?

perhaps there is another small apk to re-insert, but I don't know how they are linked all together, I can try this evening...
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
I can run theme chooser from Sandvold, but it seems like that this ROM does not recognize Theme chooser as an app for this ROM.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I suppose you installed two apk under /system/app... right?

just for curiosity, have you tried to put apks under /data/app? (I saw on Sandvold installation script that on cm7r2 they are copied under /data/app)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
OK uploaded a new version of 98mydesireI script including the trick to avoid data drop/no data when switching from wifi to 3g & vice-versa, or when device wakes from deep sleep state

for users that don't intend to install/use 98mydesireI script I uploaded a script alone to apply the trick, it's called 98mydnsI

:)

download from repository (look in my sig)

ps: included in latest 13.1 rom, so if you don't want/don't know how to change the script simply re-download & re-flash over (wipe of course NOT needed)
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Hi suiller,

Thanks so much for your efforts for making this ROM always better.

However, since your last two 0.13.1 versions (with modded 98mydesireI, with CPU max freq first at 1113MHz then 1075Mhz), I have severe issues:

- The phone is sometimes very laggy

- My data connection stays on 3G where it was H

- FC for some apps (like Chrome)

- I even got a BSOD

The previous versions where perfect. What do you think about that?

Edit: Things seem suddenly to be back to normal. I don't understand what happened.
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
It works now after putting them on /data/app. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] marcocsh:
Hey Suiller,

Just to say thank you for your excellent work. You gave me so much fun in flashing my Desire.

Sadly I've got a new Galaxy Nexus now. So I reset my old Desire to official RUU so that my old dad can use it and I don't need to keep updating the ROM for him.

But I will never forget those great great great guys in this forum who gave me so much help and happy time.

Keep it up Suiller!:good::good::good:
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
compliment for your new device, it's a good piece of hardware

anyway long life to old desire :cool:
[Desire Android Development] hheegg:
Hi Suiller,

flashed your nice rom 13.1 yesterday and did not think that the desire can run Android4 so smooth, really excelent!!! Looks like it is good for everyday use :)

To little things I found while playing with this rom:

1. I need VPNC for my company. When I make the Prerequisites Check, I get the following message: Warning: "Advanced Routing" feature missing - VPN connectivity might be lost after a while.... Never had problem with GB rom. Any idea how to solve this?

2. In phone\system\app I can find SoundRecorder.apk, but I dont get an icon to launch this app?

Really good work and still under development. Keep on :good::good::good:
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yep I removed all sshd/vpn stuff from bin folder to gain some space, but on next release/beta I'll include vpn stuff, anyway if you need it right now simply take all ssh binaries (+ dropbear bin) from sandvold rom (under /system/bin) & inject into the slim rom

it's ok that you don't see the app because it's used internally by some app, for ex by whatsapp to send voice messages (you'll have a record button inside the app itself)

if you are looking for a regular voice recorder simply take "voicerecorder" from market
[Desire Android Development] hheegg:
Thank You for quick answer. Excellent support

Problems with bluetooh

When I disable bluetooth appears FC with android.phone and I've to re-enter pin code.

I've done all steps: format, wipe, new partition (ext4 700Mb),etc.)

Device: Desire GSM

HBOOT: cm7r2

ROM: Slim ICS for desire
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I know... BT right now is a bit buggy...
[Desire Android Development] Jamsi:
Hi Suiller!

And first of all thanks for a great rom!

Just a couple of questions.

I seem to be having problems with the MMS. When trying to send a message, the message won't send...it get's stuck on "sending". I've checked the APN settings...and they should be fine. I also noticed that when trying to send a MMS message, the mobile data connection seems to disappear for a while.

Another issue happened when I tried to flash the latest version of the rom. After flashing I booted my desire, it seemed to get stuck on the android-screen. I let it stay there for over 10 minutes...but it never progressed. So, I had to restore the original rom from backup. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Well, it's happening again, with the brand new last version. 2 BSODs today, one while browsing with Chrome, another one while charging... Weird. No logcat. Should I format the SD card?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
hmm... you could try to lowering max cpu freq or installing another kernel (tiamat for ex)

anyway you can give a try with a complete format of your sd-card, FC are mainly caused by dalvik cache relaying on bad sectors (on nand or sd-card it doesn't matter)

I have no FC at all, just BT issue

right now I'm "slimming" K900 AOKP rom... very promising and above all much clean/close to ics source
[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
Does this mean you wont be slimming Sandvold's rom anymore?
[Desire Android Development] ep0ch2:
The MMS app seems to be causing lots of wakelocks. Is this a known issue?

com.android.mms - is the culprit from betterbatterystats.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
no no... I'll slim both ;)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
hmm... try replacing mms.apk from original one (get it from Sandvold rom)
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Thanks suiller. I will be happy to try your AOKP slim version. Let's know when it's ready :good:
[Desire Android Development] ep0ch2:
OK so far so good. Shall know for sure in a day or so.

Some other things I have noticed:

1. The LED does not flash when a message is received.

2. Any chance of having flashlight in Notif?

3. I updated the startup script so the both min frequencies are 128000, however the lowest CPU state which is ever used (beside deepsleep) is 384 Mhz

THanks
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Switched to AOKP ;) Fabulous ! Will there be thread about your version? What changes in tonight's version?
[Desire Android Development] bxlogic:
just for info i wanted to know is this slim version that is made for samsung galaxy i9000 i dont see any screenshot posted and i am from mobile atm so i cant find the slim version i think may be, couple days ago i installed some slim rom on galaxy looked eleet

this is the exact copy of Sandvold official ICS rom for htc desire (aka bravo)

this is just a stripped version, remove some things, replaced other, added a couple of script & applied my tweaks... nothing more :)
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
im on your slim-old-school skateboard suiller !!

chose typical install on cm7r2 hboot....without a2sd i have a little more than 164 mb free of internal space with a couple of apps installed like chrome, 4Ext updater, es file explorer etc

ran the 98mydesire ics script too

rom is pretty smooth and snappy for now .....

thanks again !!

whats your opinion about the supercharger script please ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I studied it and I must admit that it's a great piece of work (& patience)

but in my opinion 80% of those "tricks" are just a placebo

apart this I prefer to test less things but be sure about what they do
[Desire Android Development] Klausi:
Hi suiller,

Thanks for your advice – everything went fine and ICS is up and running without any problems on my HTC Desire with the old CM7 hboot!

What I did:

Extracted/ deleted/ reinserted android.playmusic.apk and googletts.apk as you said.

Deleted gallery, voice recorder and google search bar completely instead of reinserting them too, since I do not use them.

Maybe you can tell me, which one is the news&weather app, I’d like to remove this to.

I copied the zip file to a fresh sd card, put it in the phone, booted into recovery, wiped all and everything, installed zip from sd card.

Installation routine detected a cm7r2r hboot, I selected standard installation and some minutes later the new rom was up and running!

Root Explorer tells me:

/system 125.18mb used, 4.82mb free

/data 108.45 used, 194.18 free (only Root Explorer, Gmail, Dropbox, WhatsApp installed so far).

Only (known) problem until now is a FC after trying to take a video.

So - maybe there are still other users of the old cm7 table which like to use ICS without flashing a new hboot. Thanks to Sandvold for this rom and for your inspiration!

Klaus
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
perfect ;)

yep, video recording is still "under-work"

yes, this is primary goal of a slim rom, I tried to fit it also in oxy table but it's not possible right now
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
published an update in the late afternoon (about 18.00 utc)

nothing special it's just a sort of experiment

thanks to 98... script I choose to manipulate differently cache pressures between states

on sleep it is fixed at 90 (10% less than default)

on wake it is fixed at 10 (90% less than default)

I've no time to write a "guide" about cache pressure but technically speaking, just for your information, a very low value of cache pressure means that OS will try at best to maintain caches (more responsiveness) while on high values (near to 100) means the opposite behavior

so I choose to apply this approach to different device states (wake vs sleep)

we can't maintain a cache pressure of 10% for a long time, because we'll get the exact opposite effect after few hours, but we can make flush automatically caches during sleep times without forcing it, OS itself will manage it :D

it's just an experiment but it should work ;)
