[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Sorry about that, I will ask brambo to sort it out asap. Dont worry tho, a7 will be released soon so hold your horses!

Edit: mirror is up, wont release a7 before I sort out the notification issue.
[Desire Android Development] Smithyster:
Sweet thanks!

Wanted to take a look as my phone seems to struggle with Sandvolds ICS for whatever reason!

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Sage:
go on post a7 without the LED notification i can use Tasker for that! :) i want to check out some linaro goodness :)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Will do! Going to test two more features properly before I push the release. I dont want no "1.0.1a7.1" :-)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Initial feedback seems good. A7 wont have Notification LED however, Its a really dumb bug and I can't seem to figure it out. But A7 will hold several framework changes and it holds some Linaro changes :)

Nadir says it feels snappier. So I guess its time to upload it (when I get home)
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Since framework got changed a full wipe is needed for a7?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I highly recommend doing full wipes, as this is still in BETA-stages I'd always wipe.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Not good for my daily device :D

Will see if MyBackup works this time.

Thanks so far for this rom!
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Nikez Lente 1.0.1a7 is LIVE! Get it at my website now!

Changelog and more information is available here!

Edit: Click some ads. I need beer. Feed me. Beer.
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
You won't regret it:p .It bears mentioning that a clean install also helps report more accurate bugs and FC.
[Desire Android Development] donbronco:
hey which widgets are you using in the screenshots in your first post ? :) really like the glass style
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Aha! "haters gonna hate" lol! funny boot animation :P
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Great job Nikez, its working smooth and faster :)

Making the softkeys as I am writing this. DO NOT install the a6 softkeys on a7, you will erase most of the updates in a7!!
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
How says in changelog scrolling is really faster!
[Desire Android Development] Richy Freeway:
Been running this since a5 and haven't wiped anything when I've upgraded, hasn't caused me any problems (that I've noticed).

Still no audio on the game Temple Run though! :)
[Desire Android Development] ernest33:
I'm on first boot...and i love this bootanimation :D...that's all :p
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I dont understand you :/ Could you try to explain?
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Did you use the 2.2.0019G RIL?
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Only had time to make the standard Softkeys. You can download them here...

Hope you like the effort, I appreciate you clicking on the right places. :)

I'll publish the ICS Blue mod later tonight.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
He just told us that scrolling is faster, like you mentioned in changelog - i guess ^^
[Desire Android Development] CWobbles:
Seems smoother on first impression with latest version. Boot anim is funny but I prefer the previous one :)

Keep up the good work. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
Yes sorry for my poor english :rolleyes:

Same for me!
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Nevermind. It's no problem unless someone understands :D

back 2 topic: rom is running great and i like the new bootanimation. is it possible to resize it to the whole screen? looks kind of strange if there are gaps on each side.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I will look into it later on :)
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
Hi, Nikez. I looked your ROM a7, fast and smooth to operate. But it's empty, I implore you to sew AOKP control. She immediately rises to 50 balls. Regards, Alex.:D
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
+1

The boot animation is funny but the previous one gives the phone a more "professional" look :)

a7 runs smooth. THANK YOU!
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
What mean Some Linaro changes??
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Just came home, only had the energy to put up the ICS Blue softkeys cause they are my favorite. Will put the auto brightness fix downloads up tomorrow.

Click on the image for the ICS Blue softkeys

Notes: you need to have the softkeys installed first and this color is darker than the default color so in bright daylight less visible, but in normal and less light conditions it looks really nice.

Thanks for downloading and appreciations guys, it makes it fun to make them :)
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
Great work guys, last version of rom is very fast and smooth,no one problem.

The softkeys are fantastic too, even more now that my hardkeys seems to go to die.

Only one question,what radio and ril do you use with this rom? With a6 I had a little lag responding to the calls.

Inviato dal mio HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Here's correctly sized version (480x800) of "haters gonna hate" -bootanimation :)

via adb:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb shell reboot

or use root explorer (or any root capable file manager) to copy/push the file under /system/media, set permissions and reboot

Voila, you’re done.
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
For all who prefer the previous boot animation, here is a flashable zip which brings it back: bootanimation.zip
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
As promised, the auto brightness fix for Nikez Lente 1.0.1a7, you can find here.

[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
Yes, what kind of changes have been made with Linaro?
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Is that second button from the left a menu button?
[Desire Android Development] shandoor:
Yeah, I'm interested in this too :)
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
Yeah, it's menu button.
[Desire Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
What Apps2 SD script must i use for this rom.

I am interested in this rom. Currently using Sandvolds beta. Hope this will be smoother.
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
There is one included, see installation instructions (scroll down to bottom)
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
Yeah, it's menu button.:)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Going to try, this is new to me so challenging but fun at the same time. Thanks. :)
[Desire Android Development] mite_jan:
maybe some benchmark like the Linaro guys did would be excelent to prove if really is performing faster
[Desire Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
Ok tnx. Did not see this. Same as sandvolds rom.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
The changes that were done was some optimization like strlen() and so on, compiling with gcc4.7 will take a little longer. These changes shouldnt reflect in any benchmark with scores just that it should feel alot more smoother.
[Desire Android Development] charliebigpot:
Tack for this wonderful rom! I tried it last week but there's only one thing that keeps me from trying this new version: is the video playback working?! I can't find any indication on the forum or your page..
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Please visit nikez.nu and read
[Desire Android Development] charliebigpot:
been there, done that! only that this time I read in the bug tracker section and also in the faq section.. I'll go for MX player and ARMv7 codec for now :)

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] androidfreak007:
Hi,

I´ve activated a2sd after installation but when i try to install any app it says "not enough memory". I rebootet a couple of times but no change. Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Ok, well playback works sometimes. It's still a bit buggy. MX player works fine as a substitute.

Seems like you have a corrupt ROM. a2sd works like a charm for everyone else :P
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
May this comes from huge system-apps like chrome!? when i used chrome with a6 i haven't been able to update gmail or facebook for example. after i deleted chrome it worked again.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
AFAIK it shouldnt be a problem having chrome installed. Could be that it brought a new set of google backupservices and what not.
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
Yes no problem here with a2sd

The rom runs fine and smooth after 24h with softkeys and autobrightness mod

Good work!!!

[Desire Android Development] CWobbles:
Is it just the video playback that is an issue? I shot some video of my dog last night and the audio is fine but the video is very choppy on playback with MX player, and it looked choppy/pixelated whilst recording too.....
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Try looking at it on your computer.
[Desire Android Development] tonyp:
I have the same problem on sandvolds ROM sometimes. It's strange because I can download bigger apps but it fails for smaller ones. Installing and Uninstalling something and reboot usually fixes things for a while.
[Desire Android Development] CWobbles:
Same on PC too, seems like the recording is the problem, just playing back the crap that was input :) I'll do some more testing on it and feedback....
[Desire Android Development] jorgen65:
Hi LaidbackNikez!

Thank you for an exelent rom

I have a problem with the new app from Swedbank. It starts but when trying to login I get the message unfortunately swedbank has stopped. Do you have any idea what the problem might be.
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
If you have problems with a2sd I want to encourage to give amarullz ad2sdx a try (flashable zip here).

I'm very satisfied with it. No post installation steps needed, just flash in recovery after installing the ROM and you're done.

It shows real values for free/used memory and not the weird values a2sd gives.

It keeps the dalvik cache in internal memory which can improve performance but I cannot tell this for sure because I have a fast class 10 SD card.

So if you have problems with a2sd give amarullz a try :)
[Desire Android Development] BeatB:
I tested it the whole day and it is really good for a beta or actually it is alpha. Really good, only thing I don't like is the double click for zooming in the browser, sometimes it openes the link but I double clicked to zoom and not to open a link.

Awesome work nikez.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I would not say it's alpha since I have been helping out on Sandvold's for a while(6+ months ) And the code is pretty much the same except that I have made a few changes :P
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
This is most likely the application's compability with ICS.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Awesome work, mate. Thank you very much. Gonna try it... :)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Sorry for the large screenshots, forgot to resize them. So I just came home (painting my parents house all week pfff) but I managed to play around with the soft keys at work just before I went home. So with the limited time I had, I figured out how to change the order and the button action. But I ran into some problems, and need more time to figure things out. Don't worry about the image of the key it self, I didnt bother modifying that yet and thats really simple. For now the menu button only shows like before when an app is open that supports it. I tried to just add a new button and assigning it the menu action, but then it would just stay there also at PIN and lock screen, it doesnt fade in/out like the other keys. So still got some figuring out to do, so little time this week, hopefully after the weekend. (any tips are always appreciated, please do so by pm so we don't go too much off topic in this ROM Dev topic. thnx)

Oh btw, do we also want the 4 keys in landscape mode?

btw if you really can't wait, I can upload this one, but it just looks silly with the missing button at home screen imo :D
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Ok... Couple of quick questions regarding version a7, please. Based on a few hours' use.

- While setting up Google account, even if I check on the "keep this a/c backed up...", once I click 'next', it automatically un-checks the selection and moves on. This is strange...

- Earlier, once I setup my Google account, my data (play apps, wifi passwords, etc.) would be automatically downloaded and synced with the phone.

- And finally, with this release, is anyone else get a 'force close' while attempting to geotag on the Instageam app?

I'm sorry I cdnt prepare a logcat as I just noticed all this.

I'm about to reflash the ROM - just to double check. If a logcat is needed, please let me know and I'll do so with my next post.

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Hi,

I am unable to assist you without a logcat I am afraid. Please attach a logcat and I will take a look at it tomorrow (if time allows).
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
Hi Bojan. Thank you, that you decided to do my buttons. Maybe this will help you.:)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Argh thats the AOKP ROM, they have this cool ROMControl.apk which enables you to modify all sorts of fun stuff but it only works for their ROM atm (did endless searches last time).

I looked into that one when Qizami requested the same. I am not a developer, just a simple soul like the rest of us so I couldn't figure out yet how those AOKP guys made it. I will look into it again, hopefully I bump into how they did it so I can at least get the menu button to stick there.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I could probably help you in a day or two.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Will do, mate. But a question here - how do I install the logcat app without setting up my Google account?

If I want the application to record all that detail, I should be running logcat while trying to set-up my google account, right?

Or is it ok if I run logcat as soon as I set-up my Google account?

PS: Asking this because I was reading somewhere that logcat should be running before performing certain operations so that any error that may creep up is logged. Just wanted to check if my understanding is correct.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Attach your phone to your computer. Run "adb logcat -c" when u get to google setup, then before clicking on anything, type in "adb logcat > logcat.txt" - This will save a file on your computer.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Cool! I was not aware of this approach. Learned something new. Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] androidfreak007:
Now, a2sd is working. In my opinion this is the smoothest ics Rom i've tried. Thx nikez
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Logcat attached for the following queries that I'd had earlier.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I need to tell you.

Many thanks!
[Desire Android Development] JDYx:
Concerning the use of stock HBoot isn't that a massive waste of about 50MB in /system because your ROM is about 200MB and also the stock HBoot has 40MB cache which isn't really needed either is it? Could you not create a custom Hboot with 200MB /system and perhaps 5MB /cache? And therefore add another 85MB to /data making that just over 230MB. This may mean some people wont have to rely on a SD-Ext and therefore there wont be an impact on the speed of the rom. Just a suggestion :D
[Desire Android Development] shinodoigt:
Rom is great but without data++ hboot I can't install all my apps, I always leave dalvik and data on nand for speed.
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
you looking for this ???:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I made and using this hboot on Marange ics....

Just the size you need !!
[Desire Android Development] JDYx:
yes that kind of HBoot would be much more effective on this ROM imo. I'm not currently running rom this but just thought that size HBoot would be a better idea.
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Its up to nikez, if he wants he can use it.... I did nothing any way, just used a thalamus hboot patcher, and voila!!

Xperia ClockWidgets - Is there not an application for that?

Thats the definition of blind optimism :p
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
So I have built 1.0.1a4 now, Evervolv should be entirely gone now.

Not too far away from the goal with the chip in, keep at it!
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Tested it multiple times, after choosing the photo gallery widget it give you the options to choose between album, single image and something else (forgot) , added 5 images between reboots, no issues.

I aint lying bro :D
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Really lovin this rom, it has also works well with Shaky's new kernel, I have been using it for the last 12hrs. Silky smooth, by far the ICS rom outhere :p. No complications, no aroma. Keep it up Nikez :).
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
What are you talking about? He found us out, we have been lying to Nikez all this time :D
[Desire Android Development] YoUnEs DeX:

Use videoillusion for cam then, it probably uses sw :)

I will most likely release a8 tomorrow (once I get it tested)

Of course... I see what you mean. I ran it again - and observed the same line in the new log cat.

Ah well... Manually reinstalling stuff doesn't kill. :)
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Fast, barebonz, lightweight, very gr8 ram management, stable

Thx Nikez!
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Thank you!

I have reorganized my device tree to now work with Linaro. I am going to start compiling A8 when I post this and then send it to my testers. So, some changes to look forward to;

100% Linaro compiled (using their toolchain and what not)

Hopefully missed calls Notification LED will work (!!!)

Faster

Stable

etc.
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
That sounds awesome :D

[Desire Android Development] zingga:
Hello Nikez, thansk for great rom. Is smooth, fast and stable. Just 2 thinks :

Transition animations is laggy for me and i dont see processor managment.

Anyway this rom is best of all ics roms.

There is my score from antutu bench. :

Sandvold has 2672 and bcm 2776. :-)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I honestly thought that Linaro would be faster but as it is now its not even close. I'll therefor drop the development for now until it get's better.

I will however continue on my current tree (without Linaro). If anyone wants to try Linaro I would be happy to provide you with a compiled ROM. But take my word that it's #¤"! as it is now.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Nikez Lente 1.0.1a8 is released!!!

Visit my site to download and view changelog!

Thanks to Nadir/Spierbal and MidnightDevil for helping me to test! - Been awake for roughly 24 hours now, perhaps I should go to bed... See you in a few hours if my gf doesnt kill me before :)

Edit; Yes Brojan, there has been some changes to framework :-)
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Very smooth and fast, especially compared to a properly compiled Nikez-lente rom with Linaro toolchain lol. The led fix is included :). The browser is even more impressive, wait till you install chrome.

So all in all, its simply lightweight and only has stuff which is neccessary and as an result of that it's absolutly stable and smooth. Great job, Nikez.
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Awesome good work guys sorry I couldn't help this time, I am helping my parents move this weekend and about 50% done so ETA on new soft keys is Monday afternoon.

Guys, DO NOT even try to flash a7 keys on a8. Please have patience till tomorrow. :)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Take your time! We're still here on monday :-)
[Desire Android Development] phobos24:
Hey guys, had a small problem after upgrading.

Titanium backup started to fc and when i uninstalled it and tried installing it again via apk it shows up the low disk space error.

I checked and other apps install fine.
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
How many apps have you installed? I sometimes get titaniuim backup errors when I run out of app storage....Anyway if you haven't already you can flash Amarullz or install the stock a2sd through terminal see here for instructions (4th question of FAQ page).

Both options are good, I prefer Amarullz slightly more, especially if you got a decent card above class 4. It is the best choice without doubt should you meet the requirement :).
[Desire Android Development] phobos24:
Don't have too many apps ,around 30 or so i guess.

I already tried running stock a2sd but to no avail.
[Desire Android Development] Sage:
Hey can we flash a8 over a7 ?
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
hmm, did you do a full wipe before flashing A8?

Clearly something went wrong as I have got about 77 apps installed atm. Just to double check, su a2sd install, YNY in terminal, allow to reboot right, and it didn't stick for you?

Sometimes you need to run it more than once for a2sd storage to be properly utilised. Quick system info app is good way to check your a2sd storage accurately, better than android or from the terminal.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Sorry Sage, I am afraid full wipe is recommended, if you look at post 392. The OP confirms framework changes. By no means are you forced to a clean install in that regard, you could try flashing over it see how it goes. If you do get bugs and FC and other suprises, retreat and do a full wipe :).
