dialer icon's location will be fixed on wipe then
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
finally, i was able to download the new version..

flashed fallout+eqs+weather patch and setting up the phone now.

i was really laughing when i saw the phone icon missing on the dockbar and dragged it from the app drawer to where it should be..

thats how easy it is..

Edit:

wow, the few laggs (weather, settings..) while cube animation are gone. now everything is smooooooooooooooth........
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@nitsuj17 - In the latest update, it is recommended to do a full wipe, so the Rosie doesn't put an icon in the dock at all (since it can't find the dialer at all). That way, one HAS TO put it into the dock manually, so it kinda fixed itself :p (your help here is greatly appreciated BTW, to put it into context, earlier, the icon was there in the dock but dissapeared from the lockscreen, hence the confusion)

BTW, can you fix the resizing issues in the lockscreen without the M10 or is that a must, like the line at the right side of the Music lockscreen, or the pin lockscreen, or is that a must? I'm 90% sure it can't be done, but just confirming, since it's probably one of the only lingering bugs.

Edit: This thread has over 2200 posts in a month (and I'm responsible for about half of them :p ). At this rate, it'll probably be a bigger ROM than even Endymion :eek:

Sent from a device waiting for the Kernel 3 source code. WAKE UP HTC !!!!!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Even happier now that I've realised I can still install my FTL Pro over the top and get rid of Sense :good::laugh:
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually nitsuj17 is right. The default shortcuts are on those xml files, I should have changed them to match the new dialer activity, ans on a clean install the icon would be there, saving me future hassle.

The problem is that the files are interpreted only on fresh installs. We had a similar issue. Remember the missing google books and video icons, that I said would only appear after a clean install?

Cheers

Awesome job man, between would like to ask why we had lost fb chat widget in sense 4A and sense 4, could we add and install it from sense 3.5,

Amazing lowveld.. I bow to you! Thanks..

Sideways: does anyone knows how to using terminal to turn off WiFi? My WiFi is broke so it keeps on turning on everytime and goes error. No option to turn it off so it repeats the cycle over and over. I just want it to stay off forever.

Thanks,

New download link up

Just to make sure this didn't go unnoticed, we have a new high-speed download link:

V4.3.0 High Speed Download

This is courtesy of apx@dwx, as always. Many many thanks man!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
:D

That's what I do also when I reach stable. I find the combination of FTL with the accessibility of the sense core apps like mail, people and etc, the killer combination for me.

For now I'm keeping Rosie active, as I have to make sure the core rom works fine, and Rosie delays is one of the first indicator for underlying issues.

Cheers

The 4.3 vesion is really cool very reactive and very pleasant.

This rom is just perfect

If the battery life is good as the rest it will be really the best Sense 4 on DS

Second time full wipe today for SAME ROM - never did this before.. :)

Thanks for full ROM.

Sorry for "bug" reports but updating from clean v4 to 4.2 with single and cumulative updates results in "another" ROM as clean v4 -> 4.2 - even the position of the dialer "register" was different (with the messed up 4.2 it was right, with clean 4.2 it's left) Very strange.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, thought about this too, HTC probably limited it on the One V due to less RAM. On our Desire S leak, we have up to 9 apps, and AOSP, it seems unlimited!

:D

dlna

*WOW* real DLNA player selection in stock music app.

Never seen that on sense (or never recogniced?)

Remote of PC and streaming from pc/DS to denon-avr/PC works (so no need for BubbleUPNP any more). And with the app-link in player I can qickly access the avr-remote.app to control the volume in zone-garden. Love it.

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Lowveld, I've just got to say that this is your best work to date.

I'm sure you've got a lot left to give here, but your bug fixing alone on this project has been absolutely on-point and the progress between updates has been fantastic.

Expect a donation coming your way this weekend. I really do appreciate the time you've put into this - I've learnt an absolute tonne about development over the last year and your ROMs have played a massive part in some way or another.

I could of course go on to talk about the great day to day experience that comes simply from using what you've created for the Desire S, but we all know that speaks for itself.

So anyway - thank you.
[HTC Desire S] kapybarus:
Is bug with lockscreen ring not moving because of some sense 4 full stuff? I didn´t have it in some previous versions.
[HTC Desire S] killing.crow:
Hi, I totally agree with Nickamina. All your updates in the last few weeks made this rom so great. Thank you...

During some tests I made after installing the 4.3.0, I noticed that there is a small line on the lockscreen when sms is notified. Attached screenshot. But doesn't change anything on that extraordinary rom...

Cheers,

[HTC Desire S] Kokufuu:
I would like to ask for some help...

I tried to flash this ROM to test it (as I was a big fan of the Reaper ROM) but I'm only getting a black screen after the HTC logo.

I made a full wipe as usual. It was the same with v4.0 + updater and with v4.3 as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
Flash the boot.img? If youre htc dev unlocked. And you dont need to flash v 4 before because 4.3 is a full rom
[HTC Desire S] leimrey:
If your htcdev users like me.

You need to flash the boot.img of the rom first. Download the full rom v4.3.0 then extract the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot to recovery and flash the full rom.

Reboot. Done.
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Lowveld,

If you want, we can indeed make a FAQ. I'm willing to contribute, no problem.

I'm realy getting tired of the 1 post people asking how to add phone to lockscreen, htcdev boot.img-ers, telling about the thin line in lockscreen "bug"...

This irritates me so much!
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
It's just awesome... I have only one question - is it really so hard to fix the volume control appearing when unlocking with the volume keys? For me this is the only real bug.

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] leimrey:
Good idea dude.

....and Sir Lowveld, kindly add it in your 1st or 2nd post on the 1st page.

It will be a great help.

Why in 4.3.0 MuliTouch Tester find ONLY 2 touches?
[HTC Desire S] admds:
Hi lowveld

Thanks for your great work. Just a quick one. Every update I've flashed so far (as in cumulative update) I have had constant reboots even after cache and dalvik cache wipe. I have eventually done a data wipe to get it to stop.

I did a full wipe before installing the full Rom.

Should these reboots happen or is a full wipe needed even for the small updates?
[HTC Desire S] Fetz Braun:
Go to settings, display and gestures and uncheck 'HTC gestures'
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
Also happens here.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
If you are talking about v4.3 then it wasn't a cumulative update - it was a full ROM package and a full wipe was recommended.

Gaming Performane

I am currently using 4.3 Fallout rom after full wipe. I wanted to ask that i tried to play the Amazing Spider Man, but the game is very laggy. So is this a rom problem or hardware limitaion of DS? Also is there any difference in gaming performane of official rom vs Fallout rom?
[HTC Desire S] killing.crow:
Thank you very much for your really intelligent contributions. Before reacting like a cow (open mouth before thinking), take a look at my post and tell me if you see any question! I don't. And if you want to contribute to anything, go some pages back and answer my question about my sd card which has been ignored.

I'm not getting tired of questions, but of people like you.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Dude - lose the attitude :cowboy:

sammyke007 has a very valid point - and if you read the XDA rules you would realise that the Dev forum is NOT the place for stupid questions. If somebody has a question about a ROM then they should be posting in the Q&A forum - firstly that is what it is there for, secondly it makes it far easier for people to search for already-asked questions, thirdly people in the Dev thread don't get pi$$ed off with the same questions being asked and fourthly it keeps the Dev threads clean for development issues and support.

As for your question about the SD card issue - you were actually given a suggestion by Steinhund

to which you replied

I have spent my life working in tech-support and customer service. If a customer of mine calls up with an issue, I make a suggestion to try. It may not fix the issue, but it helps to eliminate things. If my customer refuses to do what I ask them then they get no further support - that's the way of the world.
[HTC Desire S] 007ToMMaS:
please also works USB HOST? thanx :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Another one?

AFAIK USB Host mode doesn't work in any ICS ROMs at the moment. Probably got something to do with the fact that we haven't got the official v3 kernel available?
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Is it possible that autofocus doesn't work that well in 4.3? Shots are taken immediately after pressing the shutter button, even if you hold it. And it doesn't seem to focus again. It doesn't matter if autofocus is turned on or off in settings.

Everything else is working perfect.

Hottest Rom and best of the bunch. Although sense 4 lite launcher is cut down so much even the pinch zoom out to re-arrange the home screen is missing (htc's fault).... Is there any way to back up the desk top so I don't have 2 do it every time after a full wipe?

Adw launcher seem unstable on sense 4 rom, anyone uses it? Or any alternate launcher working well?

Thanks.

[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:

I know focus should be on fixing the bugs and not add a bunch of tweaks.

But a man can ask, right? :)

I would do it myself if I had the skills, but sadly I don't have any experience in modding android.

I really don't know - maybe this particular tweak is a tricky one?

Ah well, maybe I'm one of few who wants it...

Kudos to lowveld for a really great rom, and for all the speedy updates! :thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I use the Sense launcher myself, although I read that Apex and FTL work great. Although, with any third party launcher, you may have an issue that your lockscreen shortcuts dissappear.

i use apex on this base very happily, the icons only go after each reboot and are simply returned by switching to sense (Rosie) and then back to apex, using the apex> setting> advanced settings> default browser option

4.3 Update

Finally got round to updating to 4.3 as was working late last night.. Gotta say I've not experience a single bug or bit of lag, the whole damn ROM is so smooth it's untrue! Can only imagine what it will be like when we get kernel 3 source code and over able to overclock ;)

Great work Lowveld. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
the ROM is perfect.. Just wondering what will be next update...
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
I use adw launcher - and it's fast and stable - and you can backup the settings - and adw is full customiseable like swipe gestures (up, down, 2xdown), themes, 5x4 desktop,...

(At system-setup in adw all things are ticked works best for me)

The disappearing of shortcuts was a bug in v2 - now it's only after a restart - than you have to start rosie-launcher once manually. Advantage is that you can set different shortcuts to dock than to lockscreen.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, the kernel source would be great, we can probably convince lowveld to include Sweep2Wake in this ROM ;) Please guys, start spamming HTC and HTCdev on Twitter. Retweeting this - https://twitter.com/nxdev/status/215780453741891584 would be a good place to start :)
[HTC Desire S] admds:
Thanks for the reply. I mean cumulative update. 4.1 an 4.2.
[HTC Desire S] Ziplock9000:
did you ensure full wipe before install? - Yes, full wipe

Are you unlocked via htcdev? - No.

Did you flash kernel boot.img? - No.

I followed the instructions in the OP

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
only have to flash boot.img if unlocked via htcdev.

Maybe a corrupt zip - so you could download ROM again, check md5, do "wipe all (except sd)", flash it, reboot - and hopefully working.

Just wipe everything (data/system/cache/dalvik, except SD) and install 4.3.0 (after checking MD5sums in your case) in recovery.

You're the first/only one with this problem...
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Are you sure you are wiping the phone first? Full factory reset? Not installing over another Rom?

Sounds like leftover data from another installation. If you can go into settings, clear sense and Rosie data.

Cheers

How to wipe those dir? can u give me some instructions please?

and also how to clear sense and Rosie data?

forget rosie data. What recovery are you using? Instructions slightly differ based on that, and you need exact ones :p
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I don't want to be rude, but if u don't even know how to do that, you can better start reading first before flashing customs... :-)
[HTC Desire S] kleftisx:
Ok i have cleared htc sense data.

now working ok going to restart to see if it still works.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
If that worked, it means you didn't do a clean install to begin with. So do it now please. If you don't, you'll end up wasting the time of the people trying to help you.

Hello everyone ! First of all I would like to thank developer for his hard work - keep it up mate, you're making us all really happy ;)

I've found really annoying bug tho - since 4.3.0 my phone sometimes stops responding to touchscreen. Physical buttons are working but for example I cannot unlock phone, nothing happens when I try to move "slider" nor the shortcut icons. This was fresh install after full wipe ("all partitions" + dalvik just to be sure). My phone is unlocked by revolutionary and everything is working nicely except for this bug. I've encountered it twice since 4.3.0 was released.
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
hi lowveld

Thanks for the great ROM! So far so good, no major issues. I'm after full wipe.

Could you please add an option to change music to next/prev by pressing volume up/down keys? As I listen to the music all the time it would be a great feature for me.

now a bit off-topic,

One thing makes me wonder how do you guys evaluate if sth is super smooth For me only one of the first ports of Primo-S was so smooth like it was created for DS, 0 lags, perfect 'framerate' in every menu/app.

I tried few other Sense 4A ROMs (and few versions of each) and still feel every one is a bit laggy (fast but choppy animation). I tried some o/c but that doesn't help much.
