Hmmmm well tried running a2sd thrice but no change, had just flashed over a7 without full wipe.

Will do a full wipe later and hopefully that should fix the problem

Edit- Solved the issue with titanium, had to go to root/data/app and delete titanium file over there and after that it installed just fine
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Thanks for the new release!!! Can't wait to try it out!!

- Desirously swyped. $xda$
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Just to make it clear again - I have a build built on Linaros toolchain. In my eyes its ****. Therefor I wont continue developing on their toolchain until it gets some proper reviewing.

hope a8 is treating you well!
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
I'm still on a6, didn't had time to flash a7. I would like to give a try to newest version (a8), but I'm a bit lazy to do full wipe :/

So my question is, can I go to a8 directly over a6 without full wipe? I will flash a8 with full wipe when I have a bit more "free" time, if there is a chance to fck up my system.

BTW. I have a7 .zip file on my sdcard, I can go to a7 without full wipe, and think that everything will work, so I can go a6 to a7, and from a7 to a8 if a8 don't require full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I would advice you to wipe. There has been major modifications to just about everything from a6 to a8 :)
[Desire Android Development] peschka:
What's the name of the widget at the 1st screenshot ? Tnx.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Before posting please browse through the forum. There has been 10 request's already.
[Desire Android Development] tonyp:
Interesting. On the LG 2x it's improving the overall speed an snappiness of the (CM) ICS-ROM.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I found it weird aswell. But the lag was.. horrible.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
1. Make a nandroid backup

2. Flash a8 straight over a6

3. Reboot and test your system

4. Troubles? Restore your backup

I flashed a8 over a6 without a wipe and everything seems to work fine. No problems so far....

Because I'm pretty busy in real life at the moment and to lazy to set up my SSH client, VNC client, Ad-Hoc networking and all the other things...

Hi all,

Is it possible to flash this ROM using Amon-Ra recovery? I'm using that (RA-desire-v2.0.1). The installation only mentioned CWM and 4EXT.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Starting from the left, you have got Simiclock (I have talked little bit about how to setup it up to look like that exactly on here ). In the middle, Beautiful widgets and the one on the right is Minimalistic Text. All three of them are free from the playstore and can be customised exactly to your liking :).
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
Flashed a8 over a6, works like a charm :)

SO yes, it's pretty safe to flash a8 over a6. But just in case, make a nandroid backup first!
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Is it me or in the webkit (browser) the add-ons can't be disabled? It doesn't matter if I select "Always", "On Demand" or "Disabled". They are always enabled.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
If this is a bug, use the bugtracker on my site. I wont review bugs submitted here.

Edit; Use the "2nd" Report an Issue-button on my site. The first one is a WIP.
[Desire Android Development] BeatB:
Great update. Stable and fast.

The hardware buttons are not illuminated. Or is it only me? Also when I get a call the red bar for declining is gone. Someone else have this problem or just me?
[Desire Android Development] Niteruner:
I also have this problem. But if you wipe the sliding circle to the left, the call will be declined, also.
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
This is when you have disabled automatic brightness. Toggling this switch (turn automatic brightness on and off again) brings the button backlight back (but only till next reboot).
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
After needing in total 26 hours last weekend to move everything (yesterday we worked 16 hours non stop) we're finally done. :)

I am now resting at work :D , so finally had the time to make all the softkeys, autobrightness fixes and the ICS Blue softkeys. You can find them as usual on my website here.

Hopefully I have some time later this week to try and figure out how to get a persistent menu button version in there as well.

Thanks to all using this great ROM, downloading my mods for it and showing their appreciation for it by clicking on all the right things. :D
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I am leaving for Stockholm tomorrow. This means that I have no access to my computer/source/compiler.

I have no idea on how long i'll be gone. Sorry. I do this to survive :P I did not get a summer job and I am a student, so I have to live of my parents hehe.
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
Hi

I am a newbie to this rom and to ICS. I have flashed the rom cleanly and everything worked fine till I used a2sd. All works, but I have lost my lock screen. The device only locks when booted. After that it will not lock. I can switch the screen off, but any button will awaken the phone. Do you perhaps have a solution to this problem? Any help will be appreciated.:confused:
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
how did you used a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Good luck, hope you come back soon bro :)
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
I did it thru terminal emulator with:

Su

a2sd install

y

n

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Thats some real abnormal behavior you are describing, best would be to wipe and reinstall. You could try off course to over install the latest and see if it fixed it. If not fully wipe and reinstall.
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
Thanks

I will try it this evening when I get home and let you know what transpires.
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
i've a very strange problem.

i've formatted and repartitioned my sd card with 1gb ext4, installed a8 with softkey+nolight+brightness fix, and now i've costantly this message error when i try to download any app form the store.

android.process.media killed

or

android.process.acore killed

what do you think about?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Same issue without softkey+nolight+brightness?
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Do you mind posting the logcat of your fc, as more people could help and most of all precisely pinpoint the cause of the error.
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
at this moment i can't try or do a logcat, later i will do.

Thanks

EDIT

i forgot to say that i've flashed the amarullz a2sd.

now i've flashed the bojaan undo zip but nothing changed.

This evening i try with a new installation with stock a2sd and no softkey.

EDIT 2

get fc after send sms
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
You have my sincere commiserations... This is probably the worst time to be studying and as a fellow student (graduating VERY soon), it sure sucks to not have a job...

Hope for the best, mate. I'm sure you'll land a job soon. Good luck!

[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
I got exactly the same setup but with stock a2sd and no FCs.
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
Perfect, i'm just flashing right now ;)

changed also the ril

EDIT

All seems to work fine now. setup in the signature, thanks guys!
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
I did a complete reinstall and did the a2sd before installing my apps and now it seems fine.

The only problem i have is that my bluetooth connects in my car, but after 5 min it disconnects and will not connect again until i reboot the phone, and then again only for 5 min and i have to repeat the procedure again.

Do you perhaps have any help on this matter. I have scrolled the forum and have not found a solution. Any help will be appreciated.:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Spierbal:
Problems with Bluetooth seems to be widespread across many ICS phones. People having problems pairing, some are having issues with reconnecting to their headsets, especially car headsets. Even Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones are not excluded of this issue. As a result, I am leaning towards it being more of a google problem.

By chance, whenever your bluetooth connection cuts out, is it in flight mode? If so, I might have suggestion to use a free App called Timerific to disable Bluetooth in the evening before you would go to flight mode and let the app activate it in the morning again. You also have the option to automate your flight mode as well.
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
Thanks for the quick reply- No my phone is not in flight mode. I just want to connect to my parrot handsfree set in the car when I drive - safety first - and it does connect, but then disconnects by itself aftre about 5 min and I cannot reconnect again. I have only had this problem with ICS and it might mean that I have to go back to gingerbread:( if the problem cannot be resolved.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
If you could logcat this I could most likely help you in a near future. Start logcating after 3-4 minutes in (before it disconnects). Post it on pastebin and give me the link. I'll take a look at it once I have some free time back in Stockholm. (I think my buildmachine is still up so I might even post a new release. So cross your fingers that it still up!)
[Desire Android Development] bromick:
Thanks, I'll only be able to do it this evening or tomorrow morning. I will try and send it to you tomorrow some time. Thanks again
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Fingers crossed mate! :-)

Regarding Bluetooth lost connections:

I had the same issues: disconnecting and connecting every couple of minutes. The moment I disabled my WiFi, the Bluetooth connection is stable and not disconnected all the time.

Anyone got a hint for barcode scanner? Barcoo and zxing barcode scanner got broken cam (is it known bug?), QRdroid works but is damn slow.
[Desire Android Development] mtiem:
For me, 'Barcode Scanner' works fine.

Barcoo works fine for me...

Here is how barcoo looks like (for Barcode Scanner its the same):

Center Clock & Battery Mod

Hi folks.

I recompiled SystemUI.apk to get a centered clock and also an other battery mod.

Thought I share it...

Edit: there seems to be bug with this mod.

When you restart the phone and you don't see the notification bar, just open Terminal Emulator once or plugin your charger or connect to PC over USB...and the bar is back.

I don't know what caused this issue....
[Desire Android Development] mtiem:
Had the same with barcode scanner, reinstalled the app and problem was solved in a7
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Since you guys answered so fast (thanks for that :D ) i installed all of them a couple of times, but until now it doesn't work.

Rotate scrren problem

I have a recurrent problem only with this release. You can reproduce the problem if you go to the home screen, rotate your phone at landscape position and then push the power button, the screen shuts down, but it inmediatly lits again and you got a hot reboot (shell and all of your process gets killed and restarted again)

I full wiped two times with no result...

You got a logcat attached to this post.

Congratulations for this rom. It's the fastest ICS that i tested on my Desire!
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
+1

I can reproduce this
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
I've this problem too. I've discovered when i lock the phone with a landscape app open.

EDIT

I've another "problem": ramdomly i get a popup message that tell me to reboot the phone for use the mobile network. but the device has the phone signal.
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
I don't have this issue on a8, locked and unlocked from both landscape views, looking at the log I see a lot of permission warnings. Try running the fix permissions option in recovery/advanced. Do a nandroid backup first!
[Desire Android Development] Richy Freeway:
Been getting this too. Pressing back clears the error and the phone carries on fine. Didn't have the issue on a7.
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
Tried.....doesn't works :(

I know it, in fact i don't reboot any time that this popup appears, it was just to tell the error ;)
[Desire Android Development] BeatB:
Also having this issue with the hot reboot when turning screen off in landscape mode. Not at home screen but in any app with landscape mode. Error pop up also appears sometimes after the hot reboot.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
I'm still on a7. Navigation doesn't seem to work. Anyone facing this problem?

I'll submit a logcat the next time I run Navigation. Phone almost out of juice now.

I made it to Stockholm. It seems like my parents has given me a full schedule of work to do. So I will be pretty much gone until the weekend. (Our basement has serious water damage so I have to strip it down to the concrete - Walls/Floor/Stairs...) FML.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Edit; I can still SSH into my buildbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

So cross your fingers for it to hold until Sunday atleast (when I can work on lente). GF is also gone from our appartment (swedish holidays this weekend). Next week she could probably start the buildbox up whenever I ask her to.

I tried the workaround of switching off wifi in the car and the connection remains.

I still have the problem that it does not connect the next time unless I unpair, switch off bt, switch it on again and pair, then it works again. Quite a painfull exercise, just to get bt to work. I hope the problem gets solved soon.:(
[Desire Android Development] Richy Freeway:
Regardless of what ROM I've run, I have ALWAYS had to apply the AGPS patch to make the GPS work properly.

This happens usually after the hot reboot... strange problem...
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Still weird cause I have the same phone and also running a8 and it does not happen for me in either landscape modes nor when Im in landscape within an app. :confused:

I used to have it with earlier releases when installing an app from play that it would hot reboot, also had the permission errors and fixing them from there would fix it.

Maaaaybe but a big maybe you could try an a2sd fixapk from terminal and reboot. But it also borked my installed apps once (1 out of 5 I did it) so please make a backup if you are willing to try.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Thanks a lot, mate. Will flash it and check. Many thanks... :) Was at my wits end, ha ha...

Teaser:

Still only got it working so it pops up when an app calls for it (not all apps), but it wont stick. Got help from Matt (mattmanwrx aka softkey guru :D ) and possibly I can get a dev (shaky156) to help out with the smali if time allows it. :D
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
doesn't work, that's not a big problem for now, just remember to turn in portrait the app before lock the screen ;)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Guys, great that u use the rom and so on but I wont take time to browse through pages and pages for issues. Use the bugtracker provided on my site. (2nd one).
[Desire Android Development] jdstrydom:
Probably won't work if you make a nandroid of your working system without Google account and the guy with the issue restores it.? Will definitely rule out rom or configuration errors and maybe point to hardware issue.

Is something like this possible to do? You guys have the same phones after all.

[Desire Android Development] sunshineFU:
That's strange !

Every release is just 2.11kb.

Are ddownloads broken?
[Desire Android Development] royrob69:
I also have the pop up bug and the hot reboot with landscape
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Downloads fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] borsa1994:
Also for me!

Are there any addons for this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
It is meant to be clean, you can find add-ons you like and add them. I for example make the softkeys and auto brightness patch for it, Kulix has centered the clock and a battery mod. Are you looking for anything specific?
[Desire Android Development] borsa1994:
I'd like the softkeys and the battery mod! Could u give me a download link or just tell me where i can find it?
[Desire Android Development] sunshineFU:
Whats about the size of this rom?

Why my downloads is only 2.11kb?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
It's broken. Delete temps and retry.

I just tested it again and it works fine, must be something with your browser or internet connection. You can download it from Nikez his site here .

Bojan, the battery mod doesn't work! When i flash the file, the phone hasn't the notification bar! D:

Kulix (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27605471&postcount=445) made the battery mod, I don't use it. Check with him. :)
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Sorry for that. Seems to be a bug with this mod.

When your phone is up and you don't face the notification bar, just open Terminal Emulator once or plug in your phone with charger or over USB and the notification bar is back....

I don't know why this happened, maybe I can fix it in next version.

If you can't live with this bug, flash the original battery zip back...

With kind regards

Check out the HTC Desire General thread, I think you have a "Which ICS is..." .
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
which one did you flash? You are the only one so far that reports an issue with it.
[Desire Android Development] borsa1994:
the softkeys no light..

it works!
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Figured out the smali edit to make the menu button persistent and it works nicely. BUT it shows at lockscreen :( it does not animate/hide like the other buttons. *sigh*

New challenge ;)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Do you guys want this 'beta' version which works fine but shows at lockscreen/PIN or wait until we get it like the other keys? Its only cosmetic, the key works fine. :)

A8 is running well except those hot reboots. Kind of wired in daily use.

But nevermind, its a great rom.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Hot reboots? Wonder why. That's weird to know... Does it happen all of a sudden?

But thanks for the responses, folks. Guess I'll stick with a7 for the time being then... :)

[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Click on the image for the 4 button softkeys with the added menu button. Note that I know of the bug that it shows also at PIN and lockscreen.

I will work on it next week to see if I can get it to work the same as the other buttons.

BTW, this probably also works on Lente a7 if you flash the a7 softkeys first and then this mod. Not sure though, let me know if you tried and it worked or not.
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
Hi Bojan155. I am very glad that you got it. Little things do not count. Can it be applied to other ROM, based on the BETA? :)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Can't say, have not tested it. Not sure if Sandvolds and Nikez SystemUI are different from each other. mattmanwrx does the softkeys for Sandvolds Beta, I am working together with him to have the keys perfected. You could ask him to release the version like mine with the bug in it until we got it perfected. :)
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
The main process. This is the path to perfection. I watch a lot ROM, and wish you success.
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
Could anyone with the hot reboots issue make a log and submit it please to the bug tracker? I see nobody has done it yet and I do not have the issue (tried to recreate with clean install). This way Nikez can have a look at it when he is back and make sure its fixed for the next release. Much appreciated.

Click on the image and the second button "Report new issue".

Thanks again!

I am pretty happy with a8, its smoother, has the LED notification on missed calls and really stable.
[Desire Android Development] zisoft:
Done.

Turn the phone to landscape and press the power button. The screen switches off as usual and a hot reboot occurs.
