Q: I flashed this rom, and now WiFi does not work. I can't even get online to tell you that you suck.

A: If you unlocked your phone with HTCDev, you must flash boot.img from the ROM separately with fastboot. Search around for instructions. You must do this for every rom that has a different kernel than the one you are running prior to flashing.

EDIT: No issues with Yahoo Mail application

Off topic, totally agree with above which is why I'm still here.

On topic - issues with Yahoo Mail application

I use Yahoo mail as my main email. Adding my Yahoo account into accounts and settings doesn't seem to stick. The notifications for new email don't work on this ROM but have done previously? Any ideas? does it work for anyone else? Have cleared application data, uninstalled and re installed no difference.

EDIT: User error, was clearly impatient, figure that after the above clear of data and reinstall it now appears to be working! Sorry!

I have been already using v4.4.0 with amidabuddha Kernel... will the v 5.0.0 add up anything new to it ?
[HTC Desire S] c.m.b:
In the op is changelog!!

Is reading really that difficult?
[HTC Desire S] abhishek2386:
No, definitely it's not that difficult and I did read that, not once but thrice, but since it is mentioned that it has been taken from amidabuddha's kernel itself and the version is also same. Further I don't see any other specifics about any other significant changes in ROM so asked the people here who might have moved from 4.4.0 to 5.0.0 to know if they have seen or know about any significant changes in ROM.

It's sad to see that some people are more interested in bashing even for the ones who probably doesn't deserves that.
[HTC Desire S] nuts77:
I'm using V5.0 since a few days, added shrome99's eye candy patch, Nik's fix for pattern pin resize (also works with Fallout) and JB animations package and now it's just PERFECT! This ROM is 100% stable and lightning fast, my DS has never felt so smooth :) Congrats for the amazing work!

I'm just thinking of one additional feature that I found very helpful sometimes... The possibility to turn the flashlight on by long-pressing the power button. Guess there must be a flashable zip somewhere but haven't found it yet... If anyone had this it would make this ROM "even more perfect" (haha!)

Battery Drain

hi all, i tried this ROM and everything is working fine but.....battery consumption is extremely high. (13% every hour with wifi or 3g)

How can set display brightness level according to the light sensor? I seen that most of the drain is because of display.

Thanks

Hi lowveld! As usual a great Rom.. you really spoil us Ahahah I'm so satisfied with fallout!

I want to ask for a feature if it's possible: can you add the possibility to take a photo with volume buttons? I remember I had it on another Rom (now I don't know whether on Desire or on DS) and it was so useful ...

Thanks a lot and keep up the excelent work!!
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Yes it was a feature RCTeam tweaks which was included in several ROMs as Endymion ROM by lowveld for example.

Nice feature to be included in fallout i think ... i think a dedicated button for camera is always a must.
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
Not a bug - this ROM seems very battery-efficient for most of us. Try reinstalling with a full wipe then wipe your battery stats when fully charged.

Just a wee point here, while English is the language of this forum it is not necessarily the first language of all the people who use it. I think it costs nothing to be a little patient with people who are doing very well to follow what can be quite complicated instructions and processes in a foreign language. Certainly if the forum was in, say, Hindu, I could read, reread and search till I died of old age and it still would make no sense.

The fact that boot.img is something to do with the kernel is not really obvious even in English - so a little respect for people who are obviously better at languages than most of us would not go amiss.

And nobody is saying anybody sucks, okay?
[HTC Desire S] kleftisx:
Great update!!! :)

But i have a problem since using Fallout 4.4.0 and now using Fallout 5.0.0 i am having an issue, whenever i answer a call it gets automatically loud speaker and also on any screen even the time of calling the screen rotates automatically.

Also on 5.0.0 cannot get Wifi to work.

Any solution?
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
Thank you very much for the links.
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
you mean you cannot get wifi to work ever since you flash this rom. have read the FAQ in first page? Do you have HTCDev unlock device? You need to flash boot.img seperately.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I admit that it can be difficult for people who'd first language isn't English, but if you read through this thread alone this question is asked and answered a dozen times. Lowveld even states it in his post when he uploaded the new version of the Rom. The same is true of threads all over the development forum in various ways. It's also in the index of roms and guides in the stickies. I wasn't trying to put down a new member because I still consider myself new to this but a little reading can go an awful long way here and the stickies are there for a reason.

Hello,

I'm still experiencing the problem that when I connect the phone via USB to the PC, the mode selection doesn't pop-up in order to set "charge mode" or "usb drive" for instance.

Is there some way to trigger this pop up "manually" when the problem occur?

Hi lowveld,

you have seen the chinese ROM, a mix of Fallout and Virtuous Infinity.

The ROM was nice with full Sense 4 features, not so heavy as VI, but fast as Fallout.

Could you take a look at it and bring these full Sense 4 features also to Fallout?

Would be great!

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me help with a data sleep issue?

Using 4ext I did a full wipe of the dalvik cache, battery and factory/data and installed Fallout v5.0 fresh. The phone is running like a dream, but my data speeds when connected via 3G or H are very slow.

I'm on the GiffGaff (O2) network and had this issue since flashing an ICS custom ROM.

Using speedtest.net's app I did a test while on H with 5 bars of signal and the results were:

Down: 220kbps

Up: 716kbps

Installing setdnd and changing the DNS to OpenDNS changed my speeds to:

Down: 1488kbps / 2410kbps

Up: 716kbps / 877kbps

But it still much slower then I remember.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Having to run a problem like setdns works but seems a sloppy work around, I wondering what else it could be?
[HTC Desire S] longice:
Hi,

thanks for a great ROM, really loving it! However I'm having two issues.

1. On the HTC_IME keyboard compact qwerty, I have no green indicator on the XT9/ABC button. This makes it kinda difficult to know whether the XT9 dictionary is on or off. Anyone else having this issue? Any fix?

2. Since v5.0.0, screen snapshots doesn't seem to work? No screenshot appears when pressing power+home button.

Hey guys! Anyone figured out wifi problem on HTCDev unlocked DS... Wifi simpy does not work, says "IP Address Unavailable" in the advanced menu! Any suggestions!?

Have you flashed the boot.img from fastboot?

Yes, I have! system boots in 4-5mins, and when I try turn on WiFi, it won't.

I open advanced menu in wifi menu and see that MAC for wifi is fine, but IP address states "Unavailable"...than I try to flash v6 or v7.1 kernel and it has the same problem!!!

Don't know what to do, really want to use ROM with Sence 4! :(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Well since you have this problem on all ROMs there are 2 possibilities:

1) hardware issue

2) you are not doing full wipe

It also may be recovery problem try 4EXT if you are using other. Or try to install my kernel via PC.

If none of the above apply to you I have no idea then

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Thanx for the tips!

1. hardware issue - I don't think so, If it is faulty WiFi module, then why does it work in ICE DS v5 without any problems.

2. full wipe - I do the same wipe procedure as I do it on ICE DS v5 ROM with, of course, fastboot boot.img flashing, I don't see how this could be a problem! BTW can you write me full wipe step-by-step, so I can verify it... mine is (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick cache, format all partitions(except sd card), than I install ROM and than fastboot boot.img so that system can boot correctly)

I suspected that it could be a recovery problem, so I installed 4ext touch over 4ext 2.2.7, nothing changed........??? :(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Format all partition should be enough. But I didn't understood are you having issues with the WiFi in general or when flashing the kernel separately. If it is the kernel then you should better post in the kernel thread not in the ROM one.
[HTC Desire S] c.m.b:

Great rom and I'm using v5 from the day it came, but last 3 days I'm having some trouble with the playstore. When I download/update something, most of the times it says invalid package or not enough memory. Sometimes it works normally but most of the time it doesn't. I've checked my memory and there's enough space, I have also cleared cache and uninstalled updates.

Anything I could do before a full wipe?

Well, after I unlocked DS via HTCDev, first rom I installed was ICE DS v5, it worked and still is working fine, Wifi works correctly!

I wanted to try sense v4 rom so I installed Fallout v5.... wifi did not work from the start! I thought that I did something wrong, re-flashed it several times with no luck, then tried CoolDroid v7 with the same result.

Full wipe, rom install, then boot.img through fastboot, first boot in 4-5 mins, phone activation, going in settings-> wifi, hitting the switch and NOTHING.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Are you talking about my problem, if yes, could you please tell me how to enable that "format /system/lib", I am too surprised! How can I even boot it, and how come it works on ICE DS and not on sense 4 roms?
[HTC Desire S] c.m.b:
Yes we are talking about you...

Open the 4ext app > settings > recovery > scroll down > enable format /system/lib
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
He said he flashed IceDS first. Maybe the correct kernel and modules are being flashed now, but he still has the old bcm modules from the first flash, and the rom tries to load it instead of bcmdhd.ko, fails,and quits.

Should be solved by wiping /system/lib partition.

----edit----

Some more explanations:

When you flash fallout, you create a /system/lib directory. Them when mounting the extra partition, the mount point already exists, that's how the 2 modules can coexist.

Sent from an undisclosed dimension
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
There is no such option in 4ext recovery updater!

I found this in a 4ext.prop file in 4ext folder on my sd:

format.include.lib = no

this is the last line in this file!?

Also can I format this partition through fastboot, like:

fastboot format /system/lib/

Will it work?

PS: appreciate the affort guys, I hope we can solve this one! ;)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do not use fastboot.

Modify the lines in 4ext.prop to look like this:

format.imclude.lib = yes

backups.include.lib = yes

Then reboot to Recovery, select wipe all (except sdcard) and flash the ROM afterwards
[HTC Desire S] hoodedman:
Ok, did that, installing now....

UPDATE:

Installed Fallout v5 with no luck. Wifi still won't work!

Also tried to install CoolDroid v7 with no luck in the end, BUT during the first boot it offered me to connect to my network, it also said that the signal was strong, after I filled up the password it did not connect, so I continued activating my phone.... then I opened settings, Wifi was off, my network saved, but when I tried to enable wifi it said "not in range"!

I appreciate the help and all, but this is a typical programmer answer there, trying to blame the user and the equipment, and NOT their program....

maybe we have different wifi modules, have you thought about that, how can we identify or see which model wifi is to compare.

I am actually out of ideas here, but you and other devs, you know more than ordinary users, so please help us. :(

Because this is clearly unique situation.
