This is another Milestone reached, not a Milestone port .

Posted By: roman Apr 28 2012 09:44 PM

We finally feel we are ready for another milestone. There have been an incredible number of changes since the last milestone. We’ve upgraded to Android 4.0.4, and added more features than I can remember. Thank you to every single person who has contributed anything to AOKP. The list is becoming ridiculously long.

Please read this whole post!

If you are upgrading from Milestone 4, I would highly suggest urge a wipe. Upgrading between different operating system versions (i.e. 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4) will likely cause you bugs you wouldn’t otherwise experience. Take the extra hour and WIPE!
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
upgrading without full wipe to milestone5 didn't work for me - Google account was deleted and was not able to find the same in add accounts.

recommend full wipe to upgrade.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
You still need to flash the gapps after flashing the ROM, no matter if you upgrade or make a clean install ;)

A quick tip...I guess you should link to latest Gapps 29-4...:)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Great work Tectas! Think I'll try this one out, I'm on IceColdSandwich right now but since it's dying I'm jumping ship.

Would it work with just cache wipe coming from IceColdSandwich?

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Your welcome :)

You can try, but can't promise it, sry.

very good rom Tectas, congratulations, it's the best I ever tried till now(miui, icecold, cwm9, blindice, primo-s..and more). The only thing I can't find is FM Radio, it dosen't work on this Rom?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nice ROM, looking forward webkit lag fix. Have tuitions for 5 hours, will flash when i come home and hopefully get windows phone multitasking sorted by tonight ;)

@Tectas - It may sound silly, but i guess the reason for battery drain is that it's built from source. LC's IceColdSandwich for DHD was similar to this one, built from source using all AOKP features and CM9 fixes. Users conplained about battery drain. When the ROM was ported to tge Desire S, no battery drain was found. Same goes for AOKP, battery drain is only in the source build, not blindndumb's port. Is tiamat kernel improving battery life?

[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
M5 working great! Tnx Tectas. Got lockscreen bug again at first boot, but after reboot, it's gone!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thanks, but unfortunately not... Also in settings it says build 34 still. I have double checked the md5 and filename before flashing, but probably it is only a miss in the build.prop

There is no more green line in the photos @ 5 MP :thumbup:

Anyway I have switched to AOPK on Saturday and I am not going back to another ROM this one is amazing! Now I regret a bit for not testing Ice Cold Sandwich...

@shrome99 Apex is a great find, it has a lot of common settings with ADW and makes switching from CM7 flawless. Thanks for the tip :-)

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx for the thumbs up :)

No it's currently not build in, but you can try this, but i can't promise it's working

I think meanwhile the reason for battery drain is also (like the gallery bug) related to the media server, but need to check further.

Is it that bad for you guys, i'm losing about 1-2 % battery over night (or at idle in common), it just drains a bit while in usage.

But can't tell why there should be no drain at a port, but a drain at the basic build.

Weird, i merged all changes at phone.apk from cm9 to this build, anyway will check the pending commits (or ask nk111 or nexx) from cyanogen.

Sry, yes that's just a build.prop issue.

Thx, glad you like it :)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Could you update your gapps link? At the moment I'm using version from 22.4. and it works. Didn't tried GMail but Calendar and Email are working. It seems there's even newer version of gapps.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
If mediaserver is the issue then battery info will pop it up...and it used to happen initially with builds...so I used to kill it manually or reboot...I guess if thats the case temporarily one of the 2 methods can be used...though I thought weird behaviour of mediaserver was solved at the source level rather than a hack :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
The one at latest is the latest 2904..., just haven't updated the mirror yet.

Ok, your right, but what the hell else could it be.

Yes and no, the thing is, things that are solved at our builds of cm9, include stuff which is pending to commit at the repository (i.e. the camera preview bug I'm still missing), till it isn't reviewed and released it's not in the repo and I need to check their code reviewes.

The other thing is that aokp has some things already included that are not yet pushed at the cyanogen repo, but also others missing.

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I think that I figured out what is wrong - I have noticed that my input language (Bulgarian and probably others) is missing in the default keyboard settings. So I guess the dialer is missing the alphabet to display it and I think there is some code intersection between the IME and the dialer, because I have tried with russian (which is present both as system and keyboard language) with no avail. Most probably the AOPK or CM team has modified this part of the Google source for some reason...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Great, thx will merge the ime also, haven't thought about it -.-

[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I ran IceColdSandwich for a week or three and must say that it was a very good ROM, but I had some FC's, sometimes a reboot (once/2 days) with full wipe's and without OC'ing.

Two days ago I switched to Tectas' ROM because it's build from source and not ported from another device.

Well... no more reboots, no forcecloses and smooth as hell! (however IceCold was also smooth).

Now that the camera is fixed at 5MP we're almost there ;-).

PS: I'm a big Apex Pro lover, so for everyone who's looking for a great launcher and don't know what to choose, try it!
[HTC Desire S] eckbauer:
You right about Apex Pro,was using Nova and Apex runs much smoother.

Apex is more than a five star launcher.
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
Tectas, can you add wi-fi direct on this rom? it is possible?
[HTC Desire S] jucca:
Freshly intsalled this ROM, wan't to change my APN settings, but every time I got force-close. Pls help
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It isn't included at Cm 9 and has shortly been there at the old days of virtuous quattro, but they won't publish there source, so as long as Cm9 won't add it, no, sry.

Confirmed, sry will fix it asap, Pls use meanwhile the previous build, sry for the inconvenience, will notify you as soon as it is fixed.

[HTC Desire S] jucca:
Ok, thx.

Another thing. When phone is locked, I became unavailble, no signal bars for 20sec., and message is pop out with text: "Your SIM is installed, please reboot your phone"
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Maybe worth mentioning - I got GPS fix in a matter of seconds. My navigation app+data is restored with Titanium Backup

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
If you mean after the fc, that's the expected behavior.

The fc happens in the phone.apk, afterwards the system restarts it and the Sim needs to be unlocked again.

The message comes up because the phone.apk should normally start at startup.

One more time, I'm really sorry about that.

Tablet Mode !!

Hiya all, Today i ran tablet mode on this rom. Let me say this is the best rom to have it running on. Its so smooth and nice best rom ever. if its okay with op i would like to use this as a base ? thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sure, you can, just take credits for me and the already by me taken credits pls.

But would recommend you to wait at least till tomorrow, i'm fixing a bug atm (the bugfix will be released soon) and will release an update tomorrow (if all goes well^^).
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
+1 on fast GPSfixes! I only copy the "AGPS patch" GPS.conf to system/etc because I'm from Europe. I repeat once again, everything is running smmmmmooooth!

PS: Tectas, are you planning to add a add-free hosts file? I now install the app, but just asking, no pressure or stress :-D...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Nice, happy it works so smooth for both of you :)

No, i'm not planning to include it, because of the same reason why i won't include apex (even if i would like to), there is afaik no sourcecode available for it and otherwise it would break the no propietary apps rule (to be honest, i do atm already more than i initialy planed with the change of basic apps, but this i can arange with myself, because i just merge more parts of cm9 into it), but i'm planning to make my own derivate of this rom when it's completely stable (or as stable as the 2 bases permits it to be).
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Just updated Windows Phone 7 task switcher for Milestone 5. Enjoy :D:D:D

[More details here]
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx, currently uploading to dev-host :)

So fixed milestone 5 comes up shortly (no fear shrome99, nothing has changed at framework-res.apk^^), have temporarly fixed it by reverting the merge i made to complete stock aokp phone.apk, will fix the modified version tonight and upload it tomorrow, will also add some additional changes :)

Thx for your patience and sry for the bug, will test, by me changed parts, more in future releases.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Hi tectas. Just want to get a few things out of the way. Android is showing this ROM as build 34. Is that just a build.prop error?

Also weather in the notification shade won't work. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Will continue to see how it goes

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes only build.prop error, fixed in new uploaded version.

Reflash gapps pls, the used weather provider is google unfortunately.

Another possibility would be you didn't set how it should show up, it's at the bottom of the weather menu, sry if you done this already and also if the gapps won't solve it. Is there any fc?
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Is this a new version over the one you posted last night? Also i, experienced heavy battery drain I was at 100 and it dropped to 33 in 3 hours and it was in standby as I was in school.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes it is, Pls update to this one.

Could you Pls post what your battery stats show?!

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Flashed the RED theme from here, and it worked perfectly, no errors whatsoever :) Though I didn't really like it so reverted back :p I think most of the themes should work out of the box, just make a nandroid backup and test yourself. Be sure to wipe cache and dalvik. Please post the themes which you can confirm as working. Good place to look - http://rootzwiki.com/forum/426-themes-and-mods/
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
My phone is also experience heavy battery drain. It died overnight. Almost didn't wake up! I'll install battery monitor widget and check the battery stats. Milestone 5 may have fixed it.

I've also just installed tiamat kernel which may have fixed the problem, but i'll check my stats anyway.
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
Also this theme from Razor is eye candy and works well : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518626
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx, but just a question, did you try it without the supercharged modification?
[HTC Desire S] paul.robo:
its okay i have started the build and ive got everything working ( tablet mode )

This will give me a good start, Then all i have to do is try and get all bugs done and then ill release as a beta. cheers mate
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Tectas, the fix is only build.prop and phone.apk? Then no need to reflash for now...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Can you please share where in the options I can enable this mode?

Also I am wondering what actually the change of LED color does, I have tried different scenarios without any visible result.

And by the way it seems that the AOKP team appreciates the pink unicorn a lot, because when I disabled the boot animation in RC it says "Jerk" below the option :D

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
1. Set the LCD density to 160 dpi

2. It is still a wip, it should change the coloring (more into blue i.e.)

3. Yes^^ I guess the unicorn is also a bit selfironic meant, related to kang^^
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
My phone isn't supercharged. I forgot to remove it from my sig :p

Couldn't be bothered to patch the services.jar every time an update came!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Damn, thought i got you :P ^^

Currently harvesting information and snippets at cyanogenmod gerrit, hope i get it fixed :)
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Camera not working for me on new version :(
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Have been to fast because i felt under pressure, damn, sry.

It is working, it just has the preview bug, after taking the first photo preview is shown like usual.

New build is currently building, there is the bug fixed (without prebuilts), but will take some time, sry.

Not my day today -.-

I deeply apologize to all of you for the crap i pushed out with the last 2 versions, sry.

I hope i can make amends with the next build :)
[HTC Desire S] desiresiscool:
Sorry to ask but does Webkit lag fix really work because that was the only reason for me not come to ics
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
No pressure Tectas! People can wait, you already build a very good rom in really short time. Followers forget that we are all testers in a future rock solid rom. Give Tectas some space and time, he has a family and life beside building bits and bytes :D
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, it works, but i would recommend you to wait till tomorrow when the new build comes up :)

Thx for the kind words, but the pressure i made myself (just as the bug), i can't stand it when a base feature is broken^^
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Here is a screenshot of my battery stats after it switched off I charged it but the drainage seems to be from turning on data or wifi as I just turned wifi on and after a couple of seconds it dropped by 8%

[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Kill the media server!
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
No, like you can see on the 2. Pic, media is at first place of usage, where it never should be.

Could be that play music was open at the background while you noticed the drop with wifi?

Thx for confirming the mediaserver drain :)

I already included a fix at the currently building build, hope it's enough, otherwise I will add additional fixes at future versions :)

This theme works perfectly on this rom but was wondering if someone could incorporate wp7 task switcher to match the theme
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Tectas, please take your break, sleep and family time. This ROM is great, there are no major bugs and all the users can wait patiently the next build. Do not stress yourself with something that should be a hobby made for pleasure. You are doing great stuff anyway.

I flashed the first Milestone build yesterday (didn't get to update it), and I've had three reboots so far. Twice while using the browser, and once while using Google Maps. I also had reboots with BlindIce v5.0, so this is most likely caused by a bug in the Milestone build. :)

[HTC Desire S] eckbauer:
Strange i havent had one reboot or freeze since ive been using this ROM.

Try flashing Tiamat Kernel.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could you pls, when it happens next time, copy the file /proc/last_kmsg and upload it here (or send it to me via pm), i barely think i can do something there, but taking a look at it doesn't harm anyone^^
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Great work Tectas, just switched from IceColdSandwich (wiped just cache/dalvik) and I can say your ROM works great. Some minor things/questions:

1. In ROM Control is an option to hide the ADB Debugging icon in status bar (or at least I believe this the option for - ROM Control - General (under Statusbar section) - Enable USB debugging icon). This does not work for me. Regardless of the state, icon is shown. Is it known issue, is it just me?

2. Is it possible to add more battery icons/mods like the ones in IceColdSandwich (or to know how I can add them myself)

3. Unfortunately, due to some changed apps/framework, Blackened UI theme does not work properly (I managed to make it work by manually copying files). Is there any black/blue theme that works 100%? I don't like to have it full black. If not I'll continue to use Blackened UI and push files manually after each update
[HTC Desire S] riaan0010:
Hi Rapier. (My 500th Post)

This Black/Blue perfect :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518626
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
1. Confirmed, will check it, but i guess it's a aokp bug.

2. Check this one, but must confess, haven't tried it yet

3. Really no idea, sry, i'm currently that much stocked with getting all to work like i want to that still got no time to take a look at such stuff, sry, but check this, it unfortunately would be a more trial and error process to get what you like without breaking anything, but maybe you find somthing there :)
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
It's been reported that heavy graphics could possibly cause reboot/freezes
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Known issue of cm9, but will include it separatly at the changelog.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok guys and girls.

New build is coming soon.

At this i try it a bit different then before (not really, i just tell it different^^).

All of you willing to try/use the rom are now stated as testers ;)

Changelog:

- Hopefully fixed MediaProvider bug/drain (needs confirmation)(if needed further improvements will follow)

- fixed camera at source (small fix missing at the app itself, actually replaced by cm9 prebuild because of this)

- added possibility to scan and connect to ad hoc networks (needs confirmation) (not sure if it's working, only changed small parts at framework for it, maybe i missed a related commit [and i'm unfortunately pretty sure i did], but infrastructure IS working for sure)

- merged LatinIME with cm9 (phone.apk will follow)

- added CM9 music app (because it's build together hopefully no drain will appear [could also be that the drain was related to the MediaProvider], needs confirmation)

- what i have forgotten^^​

If your facing issues at the music app not showing all your titles download and execute rescan media root.

Upgrade from first Milestone5 release to the current one (010512) with only cache wipes is OK. Only had to read Google account, but nothing major...

[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Hi, my bug list with first milestone, maybe something has been fixed:

- rather big battery drain, I was able to use phone for about 40 hours (few calls, few minutest on internet, 2G network), now I can get about 24 hours, no media server on battery drain, just network, screen and idle

- wifi bars got stuck on 2 bars, when I run WIFI Analyzer it fixes, reception is good, only bars missing

- sometimes not showing text on emails and also got this problem on 4EXT Recovery bugfix list, emails fix after while or restarting email app, I can even scroll or mark text, but only white screen (3 versions of gapps)

- freeze with Star Chart after few minutes of using

- I wasn't able to turn off 2G toggle when I was in place without 3G signal, it stated FCs, lost signal, even reboot didn't helped, need to turn 2G back and reboot, at home with 3G signal it works good
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Hmm, there must be some other way. It used to be like that on early CM7 releases. In recent CM builds (CM7 for sure, not sure about CM9, but I assume so too), there's no need to flash gapps every time.

No idea how they managed to get it done this way. Maybe nexx or nk111 could help...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
A possibility would be to delete the format command at the updater-script, but this could have bad side effects.

Also there is a backuptool.sh which gets copied and executed, but somehow it's missing and i don't know what it backs up, will check it.

But honestly, is it that hard to flash the gapps also?

Gesendet von meinem Desire S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx for the report :)

1. this is still a wip, could you pls tell in which order they have been, screen at first i guess, but the other 2?

2. Hmm, haven't faced this, could you try it with the new version, also about battery, because the phone.apk has been reverted to stock

3. this is a known issue, heavy graphics can cause this, has it been the same at ics?

4. will check it

Gesendet von meinem Desire S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
First is Screen with 37%

Second is Cell standby with 31%

Third is Phone idle with 14%

The rest is about 3%

I have freezes with ICS too, but usually it just reboots. This time it was freeze I put phone back to the pocket after few minutes it was on lock screen, don't know if it was reboot or FC. I was drunk. :)

I'm going to update it now it's possible it'll fix most of the problem.
