[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Hey there. Lately I am tired of having different kind of bugs on my HTC Desire S. I have managed to brake my screen and digitizer either. :( So far it seems such an unlucky mobile phone for me. That's why I am moving to Samsung Galaxy S Plus, which I have bought very, very cheap. So far I am in trully love, technical of course. :D

I can tell you that GS+ 5mpix camera is twice better than DS. No video stuttering at all, smooth and cleen experience with solid design. :) P.S. I was in really hate about plasti/rubber lowe part of Desire S, which always was cracking and making cheap material noises.

I was glad to be here, do some help (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25128818&postcount=15 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22271797&postcount=11) for HTC Desire S users here. Nothing big, but still useful for few ones. ;)

Keep your devices in good condition and do not take shower while talking on mobile phone! :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
100% agree there. They only analyze your language techniques..

Got P3 tomorrow? How are you feeling? Sadly I've got Classics too... :(

So glad after tomorrow though, as it means I only have 2 history rams left, and I got a LONG 12 day break and 8 day break! :D

@enigmaamit probably late to this, but your Sig pic for Fallout is great man! I live it! Reminds me of a game like Halo, COD or something like that lol :p
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Tomorrow is one of my worst days. P3, P2 and Business Studies!!! Not confident about P3. Physics is the one I really hate. My half term is full of revision because the week after I have an exam every single day of the week :(

Mon - Non Calc

Tues - USA History

Wed - Calc

Thurs - Geography

Fri - International Relations History

Couldn't even give me one easy exam that week!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, unlucky mate! Don't worry, you'll pull through ;)

I had my bad week last week, with 7 exams in the space of 5 days, and 3 of them on Thursday itself!

Now I'm more kinda relaxed.... But anyway, I'm off, gonna try and smash some classics and P3 revision tonight,

Good luck with your exams tomorrow! :D
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Wow, really hard. I had my 3 exams on Monday Tuesday Wednesday in a row.

Not that relaxed though.

I had exams in typography, corporate design and preprint...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Bloody hell what a great week....but a hell of a lot of updates required to the INDEX!!!
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Was about to ask you to do the same!!! :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Guys, do you realize this - we have 4 Primo ports, HIGHLY functional, 3 Ville ports, they are even more functional than Primo ports, but have screwy resizing, lowveld's first ICS ROM, MIUI.us port, an RUU leak and 3 ROMs based on that leak. That is freaking huge !!!!! I am honestly flashing ROMs all day. Right now for example, I haven't even set up fallout ICS completely, but I'm ready to flash htc-phone's upcoming Ville port :D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Too many ROM's... Spoilt for choices aren't we! :p

Makes my head spin around :confused: which one to choose! :eek:

Just set up Primo S & been using it since a couple of days!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Always makes me think about the good old days when there were about 3 main ROMs. Coredroid, Virtuous Unity and LBC. I think....
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Oh wow, I actually thought no one remembered that :) LBC Mod, my first ROM, Virtuous Unity, my second. The strange thing is, CoreDroid is the only one recently updated, and it's the only ROM i never tried.......

Still remember how ben_pyett and Dr. Romca guided me through every step - straight from the XTC Clip S-Off, to flashing my first ROM. I also remember how proxuser ported MIUI and i hated the interface, and thought proxuser would leave. Don't remember why, i think he bought an Incredible S.... But the, later, he started a revolution, porting about 10 ROMs at the same time, most prominently, RcMix VoidU.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
At the end of the day, it will always boil down to Lowveld's ROMs for stability. Look at the majority of users... except for the compulsive flashaholics, almost the entire majority(mostly lurkers) is (or at least was - before the ICS invasion) on either Endymion or Reaper. Just a matter of time. Let's see what Lowveld does with his Sense 4 (full) and AOSP/AOKP ICS ROMs next!!:p

DISCLAIMER : Personal opinion, NOT Universal Truth. Please take with a pinch of salt. I respect the work all the other devs are doing here, and this does not take away anything from their exemplary work. ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I tried all the Primo ROMs, Fallout is just too smooth to compare to any other. Don't know how he does it, he just makes every ROM better :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Virtuous unity was my first and only until superkid brought cm7 which started my addiction. That's why virtuous ROMs are the best for me. It's a shame we don't see many and the ROMs themselves don't see many updates.

Everyone always raved on about LBC but I never did try it. Virtuous unity impressed me too much. Especially as I was stuck on sense 2.1 before that.
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I am sticking with Endy for now, as I need 100% functional and stable rom. Will move to ics with official update or with Lowveld's first complete release.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@dan-fish - Dude, you're studying flemming's left hand rule now?? I had that last year, and I'm probably younger than you :p Physics this year is killing me.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yep. I have no desire to continue physics after this. So what are you doing this year? Oh and I'm 15 (16 in July :D)
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
+ 1, Waiting for Lowveld's next iteration of Fallout with mods... Will then use that as my daily driver! ( just set up required apps n stuff, too lazy to flash) :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Science, non-medical. I have Physics, Chemistry, Maths and English. In physics, I'm studying Vectors and basic Calculus. Driving me nuts.....
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Best of luck, Guys! I remember how much I hated my engineering Maths :(

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Aha, nice, are your equilavents the same as A-Levels here?

Next year, I'm studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Classics, and hope to pursue a career in Medicine.

I hear Maths is very bad, so I'm reluctant to switch one of my choices for it, and Physics needs it as it will be easier to understand :(
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
That's what I was thinking. What shrome is doing sounds like A levels. I want to do chemistry, biology, maths and economics. Not sure what I want to do after though...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I don't know what A-level means, the systems in our countries are very different. I seem to be the odd one out here, I love Maths :p Hate biology though, can't draw a diagram to save my life. I hope to pursue a career in engineering.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hmmm... hated mathematics, loved chopping up stuff. :D :Still doing a lot of sushi in the O.R.!!:p

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Lol, always wondered, what is the banter like with your fellow workers? My dad is an Orthopaedic surgeon like you too. He now specializes in upper limb surgery...

He has a joke which I think is incredibly lame haha

'I decided to focus on upper limb surgery, because operating on peoples feet are too smelly'

It's so terrible haha, do you and any of your friends have a personal one? :D
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
@olly I did A level chemistry, physics and maths, if your intending on doing physics I would strongly recommend doing maths with it , a friend of mine didn't take maths and found it pretty tough going ( it was hard enough with maths :D )
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'd also suggest that maths is essential for any consideration of further computer science study....

I didn't have a maths a level and found first year computer science degree very hard going, that was once I'd found a university that would accept me without a maths a level in the first place. But then again that was over twenty years ago...

What is the partition usage from 4ext? Do you prefer it over sense 4A? Better experience? Or just the kicks off having full sense 4? :)

Look at this - first info on a Nexus Tablet by Asus powered by Tegra 3. Interesting part is, it seems that it'll run Android 4.1, better known as Jellybean http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...uted-shows-android-jelly-bean-is-version-4-1/
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Oly, please tell me you found that physics paper hard?! I blanked out on lenses and now marks have gone down the drain :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yes!I found it very hard too, and so did the rest of my year! I found the moment one hard, but I managed to get the right answer, 0.005?

I thoght the card question was hard you?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Anyone tested CoolDroid 4.0? How is it? Only Sense 4 ROM i didn't try...... Does it have Sense 4 Rosie/Lockscreen/Cube Animations and widgets??

@ben_pyett - You'll be happy to know that the 4x1 clock is back in full Sense 4 ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah I talked complete rubbish on the card one. Did you get the last one about stars? I didn't understand understand that graph
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I love physics. I got an A*. But that was like, 10 years ago. :(
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
It has cube animations but I think that's it
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That means the only FULL Sense 4 port is this All others have most features removed.... No point in updating, Sense 4A best for now
[HTC Desire S] Olliequic:
What do you guys think is the better S.4A rom currently? Fallout, Sensemod, Primo S or CoolDroid?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Fallout... for what it is, and for what it is destined to become...:D

im using sensemod flashone atm. im very satisfied with it. it has everything that fallout has, plus trace. thats dealbreaker for me atm. but honestly, im sure i will end up on fallout sooner or later...:)

edit: additionally, it has working menu button on home screen.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, that graph put me off, but it's sort of the same question in the past papers. Just talk about the supernova's, red giant etc.

I hated the graph one... The sound, decibel one...

I'm pretty sure the grade boundaries will be low, as everyone found that paper hard...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah but I still don't think I did good. I'd be happy with a B overall.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
Does Fallout have the option to edit the tabs in the app drawer, like SenseMod FlashOne? I hate having those tabs at the bottom :banghead:

Guys, Tectas has upgraded to a SGS3 :eek: :D
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Will still keep my ds and go on with aokp, no fear :)

Will report how all works after some days usage, but atm i'm pretty impressed. running still rooted stock rom (btw rooted within 5 minutes, no unlock needed [even not fastboot oem unlock]).

Atm i'm still trying to get used to all features, i really like the motion events, like tapping twice at the top of the phone to scroll back to top.

Encountered not a single lag, it's damn smooth and even if the look of touchwiz isn't as nice as sense it's stuffed with a feature richness (just replaced the touchwiz launcher with apex, this they could have made better).
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Oh thank god. I was a bit worried, thought we would no longer have AOKP from source Congratulations on the upgrade :D
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
@ tectas you have the marble white one too I guess? It's pretty impressive so far I have to say :)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, it definitly is :)

When did you get yours? Have you already tried the omega rom?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, you have some background tech knowledge then! Ever thought of making your own ROM?
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
@tectas Got it on the evening of the 29th. In terms of roms, not yet, am leaving it stock for the short term it's my full time work phone so need it to be as reliable as possible however once I feel brave enough I will start changing roms again :D seem to be getting my Rom fix from this forum at the moment, glad your keeping aokp going my wife will get my desire s shortly and she prefers aokp interface to sense so will be flashing that before handover :beer:
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
so nice to see so many new faces round these parts!! haven't been here in a while, but i can remember when i first got my DS there were no ROMs no developers except for like proxuser, and then bam it blew up, i wish the SXL forum was as awesome as this one.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes several times, but how could I better the quality that exists so happy just to help and support

Maybe one day

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Same, always thought of making one, but I lack skills... On the surface, it looks easy to port ROMs, but to create your own from an RUU, tweak it, edit ramdisk files blah blah blah seems to much to handle :eek:

I'd love to try porting a ROM sometime, proxuser has some fantastic guides.
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
Have you seen this news last week: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/beginners-guide-to-basic-android-rom-development/

It looks like a good guide if you plan to learn how to cook roms.

Nice overview Tectas! How does the screen compare to the Desire S? :p
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
When I lay the resolution difference and size aside, the gs3 screen is darker then the one from the ds, but on the other hand it's still usable at bright sun, what was barely possible with the ds.

The colors seem also a bit darker, but for this you can set them to dynamic what makes them stronger.

Yeah, the Desire S screen was great a year ago, now it's the only reason people want to upgrade. Can you blame them? The 720p panels on the One X and Galaxy Nexus are astounding. (IDK about the SIII, never saw it in real life, but i assume it's the same as Galaxy Nexus)

Also, my dad's friend bought a One X a month ago, he recently dropped it and the screen cracked ..... 7000 INR for repair. This video however, tells a different story entirely

Just a general question for all Sense 4.0A ROMs, how are you finding the stock browser?

I've always been a fan of stock browsers, but unfortunately, I'm finding the stock one being extremely laggy at complex pages...

I installed ICS Browser+ and its much smoother, but I prefer stock... :(

Anyone else noticing the same thing?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I really like the chrome beta. I love the magnifier popups when pressing a small icon etc.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I was thinking the exact same thing just now, Oly! I was wondering if the One X/S browser would perform better. Sense 3.5 browser was always smooth
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Chrome is my default browser, else Opera Mini

Edit: Has anyone faced issues with Chrome desktop browser when using two factor authentication?

Please let me know the results .... {In my case, the Vid is inverted, Pic is Flipped }.

someone already logged that as an issue....earlier
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Oops .. My bad ! :(
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I was just thinking.... even though we've got a leak, it's quite strange how the Incredible S got an OTA before the Desire S considering we got the Sense 3.0 OTA first and the Incredible S has seen no leak before this OTA. The more the better though!
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Yep, they seem to have somehow jumped the Queue ! :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
32,000? Pass. I doubt anyone would buy this when the One X is available for 35,000.

A lot of my friends have the One V now, the one who got it first got sick of 512 mb RAM.... He has to close all apps via task manager to avoid heavy slowdowns. One thing i never complained about on my Desire S is the memory. 768 mb is enough for most apps, 1.1 GB is more than enough for storing my apps. My friends with Galaxies go crazy moving apps to SD cards.

What's it's like speed wise compared to fallout?

Swyped from my DesireS

Yeah? Check yours!:p:p:p

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Growing weary of flashing now... I've pegged my tent over at the Fallout grounds, and I'm not leaving till somebody actually gets a full Sense 4 port working. So far all I see are bits and pieces from Papa Sense slapped onto Sense Junior and it's really doesn't sound right being built on top of 4.0A. The only way something worthwhile is going to surface is if somebody resizes the entire damn One S ROM instead of bastardizing the One V port.

Sorry if that sounds too pessimistic - just my opinion. Feel free to correct me with references to the past SUCCESSFUL attempts at resized ROMs versus resolution-specific ports in terms of functionality and completeness.

Cheers. :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
check your temperature, I'm concerned you're not well? :)

Although i do agree that the last week had been quite crazy

I'm with your thinking that based from previous experience (hyperion &endymion) Fallout does seem the one to stick with, it's steady stream on functional updates...

Although saying that I'm currently using CM9 and very happy (aokp, Endy, repear & primo nandroids on my sd for when I change my mind again)

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Now that you mention it... the temperature here in New Delhi is around 43 deg Celsius !! :eek:

But I'm just holding onto Fallout. Primordial conditioning - learn from experience.:D No CM9/AOKP for me till we get the kernel sources and the kernel is built up from source - I'm a sucker for stability...canNOT tolerate a single random reboot or system lockup. Probably why I jumped into the ICS fray so late, biding my time on Endymion. Haven't regretted it a bit.

All the Sense 4.0A ports around are just clones of each other right now, with no unique offering or kernel goodies that Fallout doesn't provide more than satisfactorily. And with time, no matter what new additions come, Fallout will invariably have the good ones incorporated. Lowveld has his finger on the pulse of this forum, and somehow he manages to deliver just the right combination of stuff in his ROMs. I am happy with that - and I intend to persevere with Fallout (or whatever madness THE MAN cooks up next :D)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
43 ouch! That's DAMN HOT!

Same as you only came off Endy a few weeks ago after being on it for months without a single temptation

In the last couple of weeks that I've been on aokp and CM9 not had a single reboot or restart. It has greatly improved from when I first went to it, with latest builds I've found stability. The kernel sources will give it a monster speed boost -so cant wait.

The waste of screen real estate on sense4 is one of the main reasons I'm happy on the dark side, see my post below, with screen shots that show what I mean

I'm so confused right now. I wanted to shift from Sense 4A (got bored :p ) but don't know which ROM to choose. CM9 seems like a nice choice, haven't tried that in months. MIUI.us is also awesome, haven't tried that for a long time either. AOKP, as always, is feature rich and the best AOSP based ROM altogether, but i spend an entire month on it and i want something different :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
