Ok, so this is not a problem specific with my ROM.

Secondly, if you want some help, please give some more information. "Doesn't work" will not give you any useful help (if someone will give you any reaction).

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words. But all this would not have been possible without the work of a lot of other people. Their work made my work a lot easier (or even possible!).

And luckily the throat infection is gone now. Makes life a bit nicer ;).

well, flashed your rom this afternoon, changed font and it got stuck in a bootloop -.-

Still, other ics roms run smoother, yours is still missing the last bit of smoothness when it comes to the launcher
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
is there any minor problems with the latest release so far? because their usually is as theres always a minor update fixing installer issues etc so would appreciate if someone made a list of so far found bugs/issues in the latest version as im thinking of updating but not sure wether to wait for the minor update or if this is good enough ?

cheers

Is there a way to fix video recording as it is too laggy
[Desire Android Development] fangthorn:
Well Done & Thanks!

Well, I took a real chance this morning. At 9am I saw that you'd uploaded a new version.

I knew that I had to leave home at 10:20am. So I thought I'd have time.

So I downloaded, Then did a Miui backup

Then a Nandroid backup

Then a Full Wipe

And then installed, this time selecting Tiamat kernel, but retaining Lenox's D2X

And then rebooted

At the lock screen it crashed when unlocking and rebooted.

On the 2nd attempt it passed the lockscreen, so I got it to restore the miui backup system settings

And then the apps.

Sadly it crashed after 10% of the apps

So I re-ran the miui restore of the apps. This time it went all the way through.

The Phone booted successfully and everything was there.

And I'm pleased to say that I was out the door at 10:15am

Additionally I can report that I spent a glorious day in London in the sun on the Thames taking loads of photos uploading to Facebook and received a few customer calls as well.

Well done Marange! Thanks for your hard work
[Desire Android Development] mydesirezrox:
Was the video recording working properly for you?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think that the font change/boot loop a problem is in MIUI itself. I see it mentioned a lot also for other phones. But please give me logcat, so that I can see what is going on.

And I know that other ics roms run smoother. Miui is run on top of ics and is a bit heavier. So I don't think it will ever be as smooth. Secondly, the base I use is a bit older. So maybe I can win some there. But (again) it is not easy to switch base. It takes a lot of time and I (sadly) have a full time job to earn money so I can live to tinker with the rom, it leaves only little time. So I am doing what I can.

Also I noticed that the speed of the SD-card is also a factor. A fast card will help a lot.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Eh ? There were 2 (two!) minor updates after a release ever. So I don't understand the "always".

Only "issue" is the a2sd which I "re-included". I forgot why I removed it in the first place (it just doesn't work in the current setup and I don't know if it is really needed), but I don't think that a "minor" update is needed for that at the moment.

And it is android. Make a nand backup, try it and if you have issues, restore the old version. That's something I like about the whole setup (and I flash a lot of versions ;) ).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is answered already in the thread.

But again, this is something I cannot fix. This has something to do with the libraries and until these are fixed/updated, this issue will be there. Nothing I can do about it. It is part of the base rom.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am glad it worked out. But maybe it was a bit close ;).

Just a question. Special reason why did you select the Tiamat kernel ? It is a good kernel, but still uses the old adreno drivers. The stock, shaky and BCM kernel uses the new ones and are a bit faster (at the moment I use the BCM kernel, but all three are the same speed wise).

And I know that there are issues with MIUI backup. A bit strange that it does restore the second time. I always use titanium backup and have no issues there. So at the moment it is no priority (for me, with all the other things were I need to look at) to look at miui backup.

I also remember that when I tinkered with the different roms, I also (sometimes) got a reboot the first time. I have no idea why that happens. Second time it always works without a problem.

And thanks for the report. :good:

Marange
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
The font issue is actually an issue with ics itself. Due to changes Google made with font handling, some fonts don't contain the required metadata, and cause ics to boot loop. I would suggest trying fonts known to work on ics, I haven't had any trouble theming them. If a font doesn't work here but does on other ics roms, it may mean font compatibility was added.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
He Lenny,

Thanks for the info. I know I read about it in relation to MIUI, but I didn't know about the fact that it is related to ICS. Learned a thing again today :laugh:

When it comes to android you can never stop learning :p
[Desire Android Development] mydesirezrox:
Is there a way to temporary fix it?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
No, it is a lowlevel thing. All ICS ROM (on the desire) have this issue (as far as I know). If someone knows differently, please let me know. Maybe I missed an update.

The New Italianpack http://miui.nexus-lab.com/media/miui/versions/miui-V4-2.7.20-Desire-ITA-pack-1.zip :)
[Desire Android Development] mydesirezrox:
I heard that Sandvold's rom doesn't have that issue.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
When I look at the changelog (for v0.14):

"video is capped at 15fps so it is a little choppy, recorded video is rotated 90 degrees"

For the 0.15 there is no mention about a fix for the video. And I also know that BCM has the same issue.

So I think Sandvold's rom does still have that issue.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] mydesirezrox:
Thanks for looking into it
[Desire Android Development] fangthorn:
No good reason, other than I was in a rush and saw that it was Sanfold's latest and asumed it would be better than Shaky's - which I had been using.

I think I'll take your advice, though and switch to BCM's kernel.

Thanks

Hey!

I got some problems..

Always when im charging my phone during the night, the phone is stuck when im wakening. Cant turn on the screen, nothing happens and its a green or orange led that lights. So then i need to pick out the battery and charger if i have it in.. and then i can restart the phone.

Its annoying when u want to have the alarm on your phone.

Anyone who know what the problem is?

Radio: ....5.17.05.23

Kernel: 2.6.38.8-Shaky156

Build: MIUI 2.7.6-2

Sry for bad Eng.
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
I had the same problem. Install No-frills CPU control and set the governor to "smartassV2" and I/O scheduler to "noop". That works for me.

You can install adfree from Google play and try whether that works...!

[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
This rom is very slow it takes a lot of time to start up facebook and whatsapp.

I have already tryt to overclock but no diffrence also slow

Iam the only one?

I go back to miui GB Au
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Yeah sure, of course it's slow when compared to GB ROMs.. Apps take a bit longer to start, games don't run quite as well, but I still think it runs darn well considering ICS was never intended to run on our Desires in the first place. :) Besides, it's still faster than any Sense-based ROM I've used myself.

Out of curiosity, what does the I/O Scheduler control? I can't seem to find much info on that option.. I've left mine on the default (bfq) and it's been fine, but I'm not sure how the other options change things. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
yes i believe that it is slower but this is 2 slow :(

i love the style and everthing but its not fast
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Regarding the posts mentioning that this rom is slow.

I'm going to be as friendly as possible and please do not take this the wrong way, users and developers.

- For your understanding, this rom is still under development.

- The base of this rom, is still under development (and half of the experiencing issues might derivate from that).

- Don't forget that miui is slightly heavier on resources and demands, so is ICS, it's hard to get just ICS to run just as fast as GingerBread, let alone ICS + MIUI.

To help with the performance, try to use No-Frills / SetCPU or some other app, switch to SmartAss governor and try with higher speeds. This also depends a lot on the kernel, you can try and flash different ICS kernels (Drewis, shaky's, BCM, etc...) and see what the differences are and post about it, you'll also be helping sharing your experience.

You can also use V6 Supercharger (you need busybox and script manager, available @ Google Play Market), run the kernalizer and the SuperCharger. Let us know the results :)

With time, I'm sure both ICS and MIUI will improve, till then, we can only help, marange is already doing a great effort :)

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
It seems to help a bit. Maybe the rom hosts file is not up-to-date. Should it block all ads or just the known ones?
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Very detailed explanation. For me it is normal, no issues.

Come on mate, post your setup, things you've mentioned are far from enough to troubleshoot.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi MidnightDevil,

This is perfectly explained. I don't see how I could take this the wrong way. Couldn't do it any better myself.

Thanks,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think something went wrong. I still investigate, but I have not a clue yet. I guess something goes wrong with overwriting the default host file. Hope to have this fixed in the next version.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
As already noted by other users, the rom is a bit slower and that has its reasons (as excellently explained by MidnightDevil). But some things can help. First the choosen kernel. If you installed the latest version 2.7.20 you can choose the default(drewis), shaky or BCM kernel. These are faster then the other 2 kernels. If you installed an older version then the shaky kernel is the best choosen (these use the latest adreno drivers). Playing with the governor will help also. Also a fast SD-card will help. Because a lot of stored on SD-card (not enough memory in the desire) a faster SD-card will give it a boost.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
In reply to this msg and the one from 3raser, I can`t see any ads in what ever app I`m using. Well I`m using AdAway which is installed after every clean install and activated and updated after a rom update.

Maybe it has something to do with the permissions of AdAway?

@3raser I`m still looking for the problem in the dutch update, I think I found it, but can get it corrected right now, a.s.a.p. I hope to have the problem fixed.

I flashed 7.20 beta into my G7. It's almost perfect--fast, fluent. And I encountered no FC, no BSOD for 3 days.

1. I used BCM kernel for a few hours, turned out that it was not so fluent.

2. then I switched to tiamat kernel (the version from sandvold 0.15.0.1), with the following settings,

Force GPU usage ----- on

Show rounded corners ---- off

Windows animations scale ----- Animations off

Transitions animation scale ---- Animations off.

And then this rom is flying fluently, as well as all apps getting fast.

3. Sometimes when i pressed power button to turn off and lock the screen, the screen turned off firstly, but it lit again in about 1 second.

4. And when i pressed power button to turn on the screen, the screen lit firstly, but blacked again.

I have never expected that G7 could run ICS so fluently, but It does.

Great work and great rom. Many thanks to Marange and your staff.

Oh, I am from China.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I also noticed that the BCM kernel is not as fluently as when I installed it the first time. Maybe something to do with the libraries ? I don't know, but hopefully I get a version with an updated base finally working and a bit stable. Strange thing is that the tiamat kernel still uses the old hardware drivers, so normally the other kernel should be a bit faster. But that shows that the tiamat kernel is a very good kernel.

At least I am glad it works so well for you and that you enjoy the ROM.

Boot animation

Also stucked at boot animation. Also wiped everything.. What's going on? :confused:

Thanks for your help anyway lenny_kano.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
What hboot are you on? Cause the current release has a couple of errors which should mean it always bootloops for cm7, and possible problems for data ++ (size of system is just too big).

But only inthis ROM works A2SD script which I really want. Please can you send me URL where can I find script which was the last option in Aroma Installer. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
The scripts won't work on other Rom without modification due to the partition type choice in the installer.

Can you give me some advice how to make it work or some tutorial ??? Becasue only this method work how I want.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Yurimizu,

Sorry for the trouble. I don't know what the bootloop caused. I do know that themes are still not completely finished in Miui ICS. I could try to change the font only, but if it keeps bootlooping, I think keeping font for the moment is best. I will look into it, when I get the update for 2.5.11 (which gave an error this morning) and hopefully we will have a new update soon (I am working on it. The blank screen problem is solved, so I hope the next changes will not give that much trouble again).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Just to let everybody know that I messed up the cm7 and data++ hboot in the installer. Sorry for that. Luckily Lenny_kano got the problems and in the next version these problems should be gone.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, you are right. Thi sis a strange effect and probably caused by the patching I did to get the blank screen on short press powerbutton working. Without the patch you always get the 4way reboot menu, which is a bit annoying ;). So this is a thing which needs a bit more polishing. Will do that after a lot of more pressing stuff is working :).

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very simple really. I didn't know there was another ICS ROM for the desire.

I will look at it and see what/if it is usefull to switch at this point. At the moment I am more interested in get MIUI fully working and not switch base ROMS and start the whole patching again. But I will definitely look at it. Looks interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Changing base Rom is not as simple as it would seem (now I know how patchrom works)

Sandvolds rom is the work of texasice, who is the only Dev getting things working on the n1/bravo. Personally I think that makes it the best choice as base Rom. Any other ics Rom is hugely based on this anyway, and most of the changes will be removed by patchrom anyway so it would be a waste of time changing.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Lenny,

I agree. It will not be simple and not something I would like to do without a very, very good reason. And now I know how much time it can take to get a ROM up and running, I think I can spent my time better (but sometimes I like to tinker around ;) ).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I also have the problem that sometimes video made with a GB ROM doesn't play well on ICS. And sometimes the same video suddenly starts playing. Very strange behaviour. But when made with ICS, then it always plays. At least for me ... Best thing to do is to try MX Player and see if that player does play your video. About BeWeather ? I have no idea. Never used that app. Maybe a logcat can help. If you could send me a logcat then I will take a look at it.

[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Thanks very much, that's incredibly helpful.. Definitely bookmarking that thread. :D
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Let's estabilish something. Turning off a feature it's not fixing it.

If the animations are slow (and shouldn't because we have ICS roms with fluent animations) there's something causing it. Either is kernel / libs related or something else causing that lag.

Did someone install the rom without SWAP and let us know the differences between SWAP ON / OFF ?

I'm asking this because in BCM rom, using swap partition caused lag on transition effects. Without swap, smooth as butter :)

[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Not using swap and all is fine :) Can't compare to "with swap", but I never used it anyway. And I guess it's supposed to help with with memory management, but will be slower than internal memory. Just my guess on why it could cause lag when using swap..

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I just installed my test build of 2.7.27 and selected no swap and I have the idea that it is a bit more fluently. But I am not really sure, but I think 1982Strand's reasoning is very plausible.

Yup, the swap is for that purpose. As a suplementar physical memory, similar to a swap file or page file. But on slow cards.. mmm well, not even sure if it's good on fast cards. We'll see.

It should not go directly into hboot after restart. This could be a corrupt zip. Someone reported it some time ago. He has the same problem and after he redownloaded it and installed it, it worked. So I suspect a correction in the zip.
