The browser is built by HTC, it is the way it should be. If there should be any changes, they should be tweaks to improve the experience, not mods to change what it visually looks like.
[HTC Desire S] HelixH:
I don't know if the following bugs are ICS related or specific on this ROM but after a weekend of testing I have noticed:

The search does not work as good as the GB one. Sometimes apps are not found at all sometimes after a few seconds of waiting.

Some Widgets do not work right. For example from Pulse (half of the widget is empty space) or CalenGoo (Space is also not used correctly)

Front facing cam does not work in some apps (e.g. Cerberus)

I can also confirme problems with the camera (works in 80% of all cases) and gps (fix with google navigation took longer than 2 min and was impossible with gps status)

besides that great ROM !!!

Noticed from the thread that you had a few posts on the page indicating that you had flashed but had errors initially. Have these errors been rectified, If so... Does the patch work and increase browser experience?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, you were meant to turn off GPU rendering (which I though I did, but I actually didn't)

It just gave a popup about java. But if you go to the browser settings, you could disable it.

It all works good now, and scrolling around when the page is loading is smoother.

[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
This may come as common sense for some, but a few people (Myself included) were complaining of various "bugs" within the ROM such as GPS not working, The text rendering on the stock browser being slow, Poor Battery life, Apps not opening and responding to pressing etc etc...

I've performed a full clean install (Both caches and data wiped) of 2.0 and flashed the following updates: -

Browser Fix

Eyecandy 1.4.0

AGPS Fix

Smooth Scrolling

Photo Unlocker

The ROM is now so smooth and flawless with the exception of the touch to focus issue that most are already aware of. (GPS lock within 8 - 10 seconds, No lag when scrolling even in setting menu, Stock browser rendering nice and smooth, Nice colourful Icons in quick settings, and contact pictures now appearing in 3rd party SMS apps and Whatsapp) I've re-attached as many of the ZIP / APK files as possible to this post for ease of those wishing to do the same. I would highly recommend full wipe (Extra's at your discretion) before complaining about any bugs, as for me this has made a huge "noticeable" difference

I am in no way taking credit for any of the work, Thanks for the work should go to the relevant people, My intentions are just to inform that most of the "bugs" people are mentioning have for me been resolved by performing a clean install and in addition adding all the flash-able update / APK's to this post for ease instead of searching the 100+ page thread!
[HTC Desire S] chivas112:
First of all thank you lowveld for all your efforts. I am now on this rom for about 2 weeks and using it as my daily driver.

I really like it, as ist smooth and very stable and does not have any major or minor bugs (i can live without touch to focus so far because i am hardly using my phone for "important" photos) :-)

But may I suggest you to add a 2g/3g toggle? Imho this would be a great feature because during the day for example in the office/school etc 2g would be sufficient for messaging like whatsapp/gmail and so on as a constantly activated 3g connection really drains the battery and atm the 2g only mode is "hidden" somewhere in the settings (i know i seem to be lazy.. :-D).
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Nice one Danny. Will be downloading all now and giving it a go today.

@dannyhoughton74 What's Photo Unlocker.apk for?? Is it an app to sync facebook contact pictures??
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Yes, From what I understand unlike sense 3.0 and other versions, Restrictions have been placed on Facebook contacts etc and what information can be pulled, The application removes those restrictions, You will need to grant superuser access when requested. It may also be worth noting that I had to try a couple of times to get the application to work, I got the message "the contacts database seems to be busy, Please try again later" a handful of times before the request worked. This could be to do with a delay in the superuser permissions being updated, Just be patient, It will work.

I've attached screen-shots for those with any doubt, Obviously for me it say's "0" restricted contacts as i've already unlocked them

What's so much better about SuperSU over Superuser that's caused most ROM's to adopt it?

i think you haven't understand the question. i'd like to know too why people don't use superuser as a default anymore.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's just in Sense 4 ROMs, sometimes SuperUser causes issues (didn't work at all in proxuser's initial primo ports), SuperSU works fine. It's default in all One S and One X Sense ROMs too AFAIK.
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
It's...like super super user man!

Nuff said

Super!
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Ups, didn't read carefully. To answer your question the right way - superuser didn't worked well with this Roms so the devs decided to switch to superSU which worked, not at all but the basics. Next update I think will again use Superuser since it works now.

Does seem a lot smoother in most functions. Browser in both stock and chrome is better. Camera is snappier or maybe it's my imagination

Got instant lock on GPS in maps. Went to navigation and said searching. Kept on with it and finally it did get a lock. Then lost it. So it's intermittent rather than not working now. Don't know how much this awful weather in the UK today has contributed to it.

Will keep testing but thank you very much for the patches and now back on fallout from aokp.

[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
In my opinion I wouldn't be changing multitasking scripts with code written for the HTC one X, Looking around the forums the one X is known to have multi-tasking problems and this is a fix for that, It may help our devices but at the same time changing something like this, that has been optimized for a device running a quad core CPU and 25% more RAM may be asking for trouble. The Desire S has only a 1 core CPU and not equipped to handle multitasking to the potential the one X has got

Filebrowser to me, Looks like a basic "File Browser". it will enable you to access what and view what is saved on your SD card and open them directly from there. It's IMHO a poor version of ES file explorer which seems to be preferred by most, ES does have major advantages over filebrowser from what is in the description of the app on the play store, ES will allow everything that filebrowser does but will also allow you to "go to root" enabling you to view the system files. If however you're not confident playing in the ROOT folder I would suggest sticking with file browser..

As for the Key Chain, Can you please provide a link as I can't see this on the market / play store
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
If u see all applications in your settings menu u can find it there

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Secondly I think we cannot access SD Card without any third party app like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer...Than Why isFile Browser Included?
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Included in what? Are you using fallout or another ROM? It may be that you're using stock ROM and using a default file browser which again is just that, A browser?
[HTC Desire S] V_Plum:
I have bad experience with internet browsing on this firmware (but still stucked on it since v1.1 :p). Text and graphic rendering is very slow, screen refreshing with long delays. Seems like on GB firmwares html was using different way to render.

Have you tried the new patches posted two pages back. Rom is very smooth now. Browser is much much better and gps gets a solid lock.
[HTC Desire S] johnrangoo:
Tried all the patches. Browser wasn't that bad, would have arranged with it. Using jefit was a pain, in between excercises you couldn't do anything else because you the app was almost instantly kicked out of memory. While calling widget locker locked the screen even though the settings forbade it. When called there sometimes no caller id was shown, just accept/decline.

Tapa2 desire s
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
As far as I am aware, Nobody else has had any issues like this, When you installed with all the patches did you perform full clean install or did you install from upgrade over a previous version on Fallout, Please see my post on page 122 of this thread. Most issues have been resolved via full clean install of 2.0 with the patches attached on that post, few comments since to suggest that this was also worked for others and not just myself.

Put all files from that post on the root of SD card, Install the ROM, then install the patches one after the other WITHOUT restart between... Do this from recover if using CWM, Once complete reboot system. As I stated in the post for me this has made a huge difference, No caller ID or lockscreen issues and all other issues mentioned in that post are now for me at least non existent.

PS - Hope I'm not jumping the gun assuming you haven't tried the above, It's just that a lot of people hadn't tried clean install before complaining of faults. If faults are reported are being caused without trying clean install and patches first then Lowveld could be spending time looking into these unnecessarily, If faults are still existent after clean install then obviously that's a different story...

Hopefully Lowveld can incorporate the fixes into his next release of the ROM with any other fixes, upgrades or changes he makes.
[HTC Desire S] johnrangoo:
Didn't perform a clean install of 2. Updated from 1.3. Haven't got the time right now to do another clean install. Happy with endymion right and and looking forward to coming back to sense 4.0a anytime soon..

A small note, and thanks.

Great ROM, Fallout was a cool game.. Only one thing, I have a WiFi ADHOC network which is never detected until I manually flash the ADHOC fix another member posted earlier, then it can see the connection and connects as the phone boots up for a brief moment(message on my pc says connected) then just as the system loads and I see the wallpaper the connection dies again just as quickly but the WiFi symbol remains in notification bar just one white dot lit...

Any Ideas!?

On a side note: I was looking forward as were most ppl to ICS but TBH I cant see much if any increase in functionality over GB ROMS.

Lowveld, I hope you do a modded CM9 as you did with REAPER. After I rooted, Reaper was the first ROM I tried from a GUIDE and It's still the BEST! It runs absolutely perfectly, I've had not a single issue and I love all the customization options available, I feel IN CONTROL with it. All i did was add ADWLauncher because I wanted to be able to customized Icons to home screen,, I've tried many others, (including Endy) But there was either 'some issue' or not enough customization. Thanks so much!

[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Danny, Im sure that the clean install is vital. I did and it has made the world of difference.

This rom is the dogs nutts !!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
A clean install can make a difference, specially if you at any time tried to turn on the WiFi hotspot. As mentioned, the phone will keep on trying to turn it on on the background, only way I know how to stop it is a clean install.

I must say I had no gps issues, and also didn't notice lags in internet browsing. But I don't use the stock browser, haven't actually tried it on Fallout yet. Opera is the first thing I install on any rom...

Regarding the so-called "smoothness patch", I have to try it yet. I'm sure some people notice a real difference on some situations, some other is just placebo. But more importantly, just because it causes some menus to scroll faster, doesn't mean it doesn't impact performance on other stuff.

For those who actually want to know what it does: It turns globally off drawing cache on ABSlist views. Scrolling cache is not always a bad thing, usage is normally determined by app developers, and in some cases it's crucial for smooth operation. Anyone trying to do a quick test:

- install FTL and see how smooth it is

- Apply the patch and run it again

I suspect the homescreen transitions will be a lot choppier, specially if you have live backgrounds. This is just an example, but it serves to make a point:

- Just because someone tells you "it's amazing", or comes branded as "super_hyper_solves_all_problems.zip", doesn't mean it's true for all cases, and shouldn't automatically be trusted.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Agree completely - I didn't want to write however that the clean install was vital and seem contradictory to Lowveld as he advised the ROM can be flashed over previous versions. In essence the ROM can flash over a previous version of fallout but may be buggy.

I think the version bump may be because it has Android 4.0.4. This is just my guess, so may be wrong :p

Oh, BTW, if ROMs are updated to the new base, we'll probably loose the add ons from the leak, like the semi 3D Rosie and trace keyboard, since they may not be compatible with the new base.
