Does anyone know how I can change the maximum cpu speed back to 600mhz? I know it was default when I installed the rom, but it's disappeared now :(

Because I want to save my battery more, and 480mhz is a tad too sluggish for me :/
[HTC ChaCha] Losik:
Just uncheck "Set on boot" and perform Reboot.

p.s. Managed to get WiFi working in Tasker. Just do the "WiFi Off" -> "WiFi On", instead of On-Off-On. Now when I'm comming home... it welcomes me :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Thanks :) it worked, but I don't think it's actually 600mhz :/ it seems to be 480mhz, because I tested it, playing music and opening a html5 webpage (converted from flash with animations) and when I run that, my phone craaawwwllss, seriously, and the music jerks and pops. But when I went on CPU spy, it hadn't even gone up to 600mhz once :/ (and it wasn't on powersave governor, it was on ondemand) :(

I just wish there was an inbetween 480mhz and 800mhz, cos it's a pretty big gap lol
[HTC ChaCha] carstenheuer:
hey, what can i do to get the correct keyboard for germany? thx :cool:
[HTC ChaCha] haramizuki:
I'd like to thank the people behind this ROM. Despite the known issues, my bf still likes it. I rooted his HTC ChaCha and installed this ROM. You guys are a life saver. I hope you (and other devs) can still continue on your work for htc chacha because htc chacha users need talented devs like you :thumbup:
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I have pending to rebuild a build, hopefully soon this week, and it will bring the latest keypad files contributed by people.

In the meanwhile you can download the kcm file from here: https://github.com/adumont/chacha_keypad_files/raw/master/cm9/chacha-keypad-ger.kcm, and push it manually (for example using Root Explorer) to /system/usr/keychars/ ). Make a backup of the previous file (or rename it to chacha-keypad-ger.kcm.old).

Reboot for it to take effect :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I don't know if anyone else has done it yet, but I thought I'd confirm that Link2SD is working :)

I first created the sd-ext partition with CWM, but it didn't work, it seemed to have created a bit of a wacky partition. Soo I deleted the partition and created an ext4 partition with my laptop with GParted (in ubuntu). And now it works perfectly :D

EDIT: And simple2ext also works :)
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Are you sure that the phone can do 600mhz?? I think this is just a bug, that 600mhz are displayed when you start this app first.

I tried different apps before, I use Elixir2 to display the current Mhz, and the phone can only do 800,480,245 (maybe 128 and 122) and 19.

BTW: Don't ever select "powersave" when setting the minimum to 19. It will take you ~15 minutes to change that back again. :D
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Powersave/Performance will maintain the cpu at the min/max freq. respectively. I don't advise using them.

Both conservative and on demand will jump to max under use, imo I prefer on demand.

Is the phone dropping issue fixed in the new build youll be posting ?

Im running phone on edge, seems only 3G and HSDPA are effected, and i have tried a dozen system files, none of them worked.

Has anyone looked into this? Are these the armv6 drivers needed to have full HW acceleration in ICS?

This release contains the user-mode driver binaries for Qualcomm's Adreno 2xx GPU on Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich for ARMv6 based chipsets. It has been tested with the CAF release M8960AAAAANLYA1030. Supports any Adreno 2xx GPU on Android ICS using the ARMv6 chipset (7x27). Google's libRS (LLVM) does not currently support ARMv6.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I've never that with this rom, but I had it with SuperOSR, after a few months of using it :S weird.. but copying that htc lib.so or whatitsname fixed it for me :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Does that mean youtube and videos would work without jerking? :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
No
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I believe it's already the one I'm using.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I've published a new build (20120724).

Changes:

- Better support for german/french/spanish keyboards

- Updated CM9 sources

It's few changes, I haven't managed to get the front cam working unfortunately.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I'll try it when I get home :D

One question how can I write arabic letters (I selected arabic in input languages)
[HTC ChaCha] alyelgebaly:
can not write arabic
[HTC ChaCha] randasecret:
Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] alyelgebaly:
noooo

i can not write arabic as you

I want to convert scripting language to Arabic

the key lng not work
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Noob question: Can it be applied as an update? (without clearing data and cache)

EDIT: I done it anyway, just had to re-add my google account :) worked no problem :D
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
I use interactive which also seems to be fine!
[HTC ChaCha] haramizuki:
you're lucky. I tried it and almost everything force closes.had to wipe data :(
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Hi adlx.xda - *can you add support to App2SD in the next version? does it work on CM9.

One other question, i did the spareparts.apk in system/app folder but was not able to launch this application. do you know why?
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Is it different than SuperOSR? I still use SuperOSR and this seems to have some integrated App2SD since the internal RAM doesn not really get filled quickly even if I install many new apps.

Is this different in CM9? Havening much enough free RAM is a real important reason for me to install a custom ROM.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Might be something to do with the fact that I have all my apps on sd-ext partition with link2sd maybe :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Is there anytrhing missing for having App2SD working? Honestly I haven't looked at it ;).

Where did you take the spareparts.apk from?
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Link2SD works perfect for me :) I have a 16gb sd with 2gb sd-ext partition (which I partitioned as ext4 with gparted on my laptop, as cwm recovery made a corrupted/weird partition)
[HTC ChaCha] madmanjimmy:
Great work! I installed on my ChaCha last night and cannot believe how smooth it is. Will let you know if I come across any bugs. Thank you. :laugh:
[HTC ChaCha] haramizuki:
all user apps?:) some of my apps were on sdcard, because whenever i link it to sdcard, my internal memory goes up a little as well. and it's over half already. any tips please? :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
"Q. I succesfull set up Link2SD and linked most of my applications to SD card and enabled "auto link". But when I install a new app I see reduction on the internal storage even if the app is linked. Why am I still losing space?

Link2SD does not link application's private data files that are located in /data/data directory, they remain in the internal storage. Thus each app you install will still have some data on the internal storage so you can still potentially fill up your internal storage even if you are moving all of your apps over." from http://www.link2sd.info/faq

I've noticed an option in titanium backup to move app data to card, I'll try it on one app, see how it goes :)

I also tried simple2ext, but I got a reallyyy slow startup and tons of force close messages. It seemed to stabilise in the end, but I don't really want that every time I turn my phone on lol
[HTC ChaCha] haramizuki:
I tried moving almost all user apps with TB as well, but since i have another partition(ext4), it fills the external sd card, not the ext4. Not sure if I will remove the ext4 if TB will do the job.But it looks like it moves the whole app and files to sd card.

Okay do test it using TB and please share to us what do you think. if we have to remove the other partition, etc. :) The htc chacha i have here is not mine so i have to be careful lol.

GMail App missing?

Hi, great work for CM9 on ChaCha. It work fine on my mobile. :)

I noticed there is no GMail app. So... do I need glasses, or is it really missing on CM9? Maybe I have to flash (same I had to do that on my Xoom with different ROM from EOS).

cu Floh
[HTC ChaCha] dapaua:
Flash google apps form first post if you haven't yet and then install from Play Store.
[HTC ChaCha] Eyes-Killer:
Thanx, I already flashed Google Apps.

But still no GMail. :-O So I entered in Play Store and searched after "GMail" and "Google Mail" but nada... not found.

cu Floh
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
This mod is really growing on me :) But I cannot see any options to change LED Notifications (like I have it in cm7 under cm settings). My led is not blinking when I have a new sms, missed call etc. Am I missing something or these settings are omitted from cm9? Also, spare parts are not installing properly. I can see it in my system/app folder but it is not found in the app drawer and manual reinstall is not working (app is not installed).

Regards

Edit: And is there a way to remove haptic feedback from lockscreen? This vibration thingy when I unlock my phone is kinda annoying...

Edit2: Sound Recorder apk same problem as Spare Parts. I have Speech Recorder, but isn't Sound Recorder app then obsolete? If Speech Recorder does the same thing, of course.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
i believe if you add the scripts it should work

system/app folder.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Just flash DarkTremor App2SD zip and it will add the necesarry files. I guess that should be enough.
[HTC ChaCha] haramizuki:
My bf encountered a problem on the latest update on his chacha last night until today when he showed it to me.

He set his alarm on 8:30am for the next day then when he did a reboot, it got stuck on boot animation -even after doing a battery pull. So he just plugged the charger until the next morning and the phone only went back to normal when the alarm rang. Prior to installing the update, I did a full wipe, cache, dalvik and fix permissions. This only happens when scheduling an alarm.

When he showed it to me a while ago, I boot into recovery and wipe cache+dalvik and fix permission. It passed the boot animation, but it got stuck on "Android is upgrading", so I re-did the steps and still got the same result.

Please advise. :confused:

Hey guys,

Not sure where to put this, but since this is pretty much the only ICS-ROM for the ChaCha, I thought I might as well use this thread.

I was just looking through the kernel source code page on HTCDev, when I saw they actually appear to have released ICS-kernel source for the ChaCha... Anyone care to confirm? Might just be a typo, but it definitely caught my attention :)
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
Oh yeah... that is strange. If they aren't upgrading the Desire HD I don't think the ChaCha would make it. But you never know...

This is an email which I got from them regarding ICS on the ChaCha months ago
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Well I feel that we can contact them again and send them the link of this thread. This way they could see the benefits of getting ICS on ChaCha. I don't think that it will change anything though.. *In the statement regarding ICS for their devices, they said that this will not happen for 512 ROM HTC's.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I like this ^^ :D

Bug Report:

Summary: Display next calendar event on the lock screen does not work.

Workaround: Not available.

Suggestions: None.

Steps to reproduce: Add event in the calender app for today or tomorrows date. Then from home screen: Menu soft key -> System settings -> Lock screen -> Calendar -> Display next event -> Tick Check Box -> Event Lookahead -> 3 days -> Event calendars -> Tick calendar you added the relevant event to -> OK. Then press the power button to lock phone, and press it again to bring up the lock screen.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
The problem is that if you use the stock ROM, the Chacha will be full if you install about 10 apps. As a result many people compain about the Chacha not being usable at all. And I guess most of the people who bought it do not root their phone because this is complicated.

CM7/9 improves the RAM problems a lot, so if HTC would release an official update this means that it also would solve that ROM problems instead of making it worse...
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Thanks, this is a CM issue. We'll have to wait for their fix.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Finally I installed CM9 over Super OSR. The phone worked and most apps were there. Unfortunately Play Market was missing and I wasn't able to install it (because of some strange error) so I decided to do a fresh install.

Having a fresh CM9 I noticed that it is working fine so far, and it seems to be a very good ROM.

But there are some things I have to wonder about

ROM is full: while SuperOSR kept the ROM free enough, CM9 does not seem to do anything here, so I used Link2SD

Facebook Button: can I use it?

GPS is working quickly - very fine!

WiFi and GPS Signal seem to be weaker (I wonder what this will have to do with software, did anyone else notice?)

The worst thing is that CM9 does not really support the call buttons of the Chacha.

I cannot even use redial without having to use the Touchscreen

. :(
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
thanks, i installed INT2EXT and it works fine
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I would also like to see the wifi be worked on a bit, it does seem either less strong, or more prone to interference or something.

The facebook button, honestly I've almost forgotten I even have one, but I would like to see it get used to launch a custom application(preferably configurable)

Recommendations:

-As for the call buttons, I would also like to see these do more. the call button currently brings up recent calls. it -should- bring up the dial pad, and then pressing it -again- once that is up -should- bring up the last dialed number, and pressing it a third time should call that number. this behavior is already present in the touch screen(and is the standard for most phones I've used), if you bring up the dialpad, and press the onscreen call button, it ques up the previously dialed number, and pressing it again calls that number.

Why can't the buttons match this behavior?

also, I've never actually tried using it, but the end call button should end the call. when not in a call, it should go back to the home screen. -not- lock the phone. that's what the power/lock button is for.

-As for the facebook button, if installed, it should launch the facebook application. OR it should by default allow itself to be configured. perhaps if we press and hold the button, it allows itself to be configured, and if we simply press it quickly, it should bring up whatever app it is configured for?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
So after flashing gapps Market was not there? Weird..

What do you mean by "ROM is full"? When I flashed it I had 35 MB occupied. If you didn't wipe data and cache then you have remnants I believe.

I have no idea why the WiFi signal is weaker. I've seen the same on my tabled which has ICS by default (not ported).. I believe that HTC sets the power of the WiFi chip to maximum for better signal, which in turn drains more battery.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Yep. Also after restart I had an error message saying "Clock crashed". So installing it over SuperOSR/CM7 might work if you have luck, but it's better if you do a fresh install.

Yes, but I have tons of apps installed. While SuperOSR copied all these apps to /sdext - CM9 didn't. So I installed Link2SD. However I liked that App2SD that was included with SuperOSR.

This is interesting. Also GPS signal is weaker. A-GPS seems to work better - now I was able to get a position within about 15 seconds which was not possible with SuperOSR. But I do not receive any satellites within the house, were it was possible to get a position before (after some minutes).

So in short: A-GPS improved, Signal is weaker

I like to use it for "Status Bar Expander" which is very handy. With CM9 the Play Store says "your phone is not compatible with F-Button Lite" so I could not try this.

I think it should be made possible to handle the phone functions of the Chacha without having to use the touchscreen at all. This is one reason why I bought this phone.

However, the Chacha is one of the very few phones that have such keys, so CM9 is not optimized to that. SuperOSR could do redial by pressing the green button twice. But I would like to see that Chacha-CM9 having a better support of these keys. My suggestion is modifying Dialer2 (which is open source) so that you can remove the On-Screen-Keys. That should work fine, and Dialer2 also has Smart Dial which the CM9-Dialer hasn't.

I think that is the best one could do, of course it would be better to have more use of the keys e.g. like on a Nokia E71

For example:

automatic search function within all menus if you press one of the keys

dialing number when pressing the green key during sms-view of a certain contact

automaticall enter numbers when in certein contact fields

etc.

This are things that should be improved for the keyboard use - but I think this is far more complicated than just fixing the dialer.
[HTC ChaCha] unreal64:
Good morning!

I do not own use directly the HTC chacha, but i bought one for my little sister about one year ago(just after the release), and i am the one who takes care of the "phone maintenance"... Unfortunally i don't have the chance to install on the phone a rom which is still incomplete as my sister is not very confident to deal with little bugs or workarounds like not switching to front camera :P

Anyway I am following your work since few months and I just wanted to say that you all (the developers, the testers and the community) are great! I think that HTC chacha is the biggest underrated device, from HTC itself, i guess if it would have built with 512 MB of ROM more it would have TONS of ROM & DEVS.. :/

I currently use a GalaxyS2, and I saw that since the developer included the JB code into the CM mainline the CM9 developing is almost dead (or we are very close to it's death).. I guess they will only release a stable release in the next week or so, then they will permanently switch to CM10...

So follow a question: wouldn't worth to focus the current efforts towards the CM10 branch instead of keep working on CM9 which most probably won't see new feature anymore?? (the actual cm10 preview builds already have some feature that cm9 will never have..) As i understood with other device (but chacha may be different) there are quite few difference between ICS and JB, but most of the code wrote for ICS should be already suitable for JB (isn't it?).

This is an humble question from a non-developer chacha fan.... cheers to all of you! Keep up with the good work ;)

edit: i looked also on galaxy ace forum section(which has a cpu very similar in terms of speed with chacha) and saw that even if switching to CM10 broke some things (like camera) it really improved the phone speed due to the benefit from project butter....
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Uh, ok, today I found a mayor problem!!

When having to enter numbers during a phone call I did not see anything, so I pressed on the "numbers"-logo on the left bottom.

Then every time I typed a number it appeared twice! Also I was not able to enter the #-key on the keyboard. So I had to use the numbers on the touchscreen which were bigger than the display field.

All in all:

Behavier when entering numbers during a phone call is very bad

especially when trying to use the hardware keys. In my opinion this is the first thing that needs to be fixed.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Just tried it, I've got that too. Using the on-screen touch-keys is fine tho :D the keys just need to be a tad smaller so they fit in the screen :P
[HTC ChaCha] usmanjavid:
jelly bean

i think now should move to jb source wot u say bro :p
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
This is what HTCDev sent me - seems like its not a typo.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Thanks for asking them and sharing the answer with us Luke.

I'm not sure what update they are talking about. In fact I'm wondering if the rep do even know what we are talking about, and what they have published.

I mean, what is published is a tarball of kernel sources, which are labeled on the web 4.0, when the file name reads *-gb-* (other kernel sources for devices with 4.0 read *-ics-*).

This is not an update that any user can install, because it's not installable, and it's not a rom!

IMHO, HTC's answer sounds pretty much out of your question topic.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
As if I'd ever choose a HTC ICS rom over cyanogenmod 9 anyway :P pah xD
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Well, I have a keyboard phone for not having to use the touchscreen on normal phone funtctions.

Also I noticed that battery life is not as good as in SuperOSR.

However, If you use big font size, the font is better readable and nicer than in SuperOSR.
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Does this ROM have HWA? I have found it fairly laggy compared to SOSR/CM7.2 or Hexgore's ROM. This reminds me of the pre-HWA defy ROMs. Feel like continuing with the current Hexgore RO only
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
So here is the screenshot when I want to try to enter some number during a call.

You know sometimes on service hotlines they say " for ... please press 1, for ... please press 2". Entering these numbers is a little bit tricky on the Chacha since CM7/9 is not optimized at all for phones that have hardware-keyboards you will use during a call.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
This could be really good!

Well the benefit here is that if they -do- in fact release an official update to ICS, they may also release the source as they did with previous versions, which means that we can very easily use the drivers from that official update and port them to CM9/CM10. So granted, we would likely not want to switch to an official ROM at that point, however, we -do- want the update, for the mere fact that unofficial roms would be greatly improved!

Although it seems they don't have a clue what's actually going on. I've seen 2? 3? responses to people, and official statements saying that they -would not- release an update, yet now it seems they are? I guess only time will tell.
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
Meh they are saying that they are not pushing it now. And it is funny that they are saying we can "install" the update lol. :)
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I'm also confused about this, it being labeled as 4.0, but has anyone actually confirmed based on the source whether it is ICS or GB?

Perhaps it was a WIP that they just released anyway, and they simply didn't update the version or something?

what can we look for in the source that GB absolutely does not have, and ICS does? or vice versa?

Because if it is ICS, it could help fix many issues, including the front camera and signal issues.
[HTC ChaCha] raymerjacque:
agree, someone should atleast take a look and see if some valueable drivers cant be extracted from that kernel ? could solve many issues ( front camera, video recorder, phone dropping issues, wifi issues etc etc )
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Good point :D
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
The kernel sources do not provide sources for codecs or camera propietary libraries, which are what we would need (but ufortunately are not open-source nor GPL)

GPS doesn't work for me

Hi, I was trying to use GPS (Navigation), but it seems not working. I keep informed "Searching for GPS...". I already set GPS-Source to "internal", but still not working.

Could you tell me if GPS works fine on your ChaCha? If so, what should be done in order to get it working?

cu Floh

PS: GMail-App still missing. :( No idea?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
You could try flashing any stock rom, getting a fix, then flashing CM9 again.

At the same time, did you flash gapps? Only GMail is missing?
[HTC ChaCha] d14b0ll0s:
It might not be this easy with the GPS. I've used CM7 port ROM on ChaCha some time ago, used the workaround with getting a fix in stock ROM and reflashing, it seemed to have been working fine, but when driving I was getting numerous hiccups in various GPS apps which caused me to get lost in the city more than a few times, had to get back to stock ROM because of this, which has no GPS issues. Hope it gets solved, but seeing it's still an issue under CM9 makes one wonder what library or part of code causes it.
