Cheers mate, tried replacing it using Rom Toolbox but it didn't work.

What do I have to do? There's more than one boot animation file in the customize/resource folder......:confused:
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Think you have to rename the one you want htc_bootanimation, and change the old one to something else. Only used it for a week, lovely Rom. But.... prefer vanilla

[HTC Desire S] axelpix:
camera quality is easy to fix. Just open your media_profiles.xml and change the image quality settings to:

<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="95" />
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Simply put: won't work.

I think it's already like that in media_profiles.xml anyway, it's one of the first things I change on any rom.

I already tracked the jpeg quality setting in the camera app, and it's set to 100%, so it's not there also.

I did that a few months back, if I knew what the issue was, I would of course have fixed it...

Camera

Hi Lowveld, is it possible for us to replace the camera app to Sabsa Prime v6.5's camera app? Amazingly the video shoot functionality works.. Is it possible for you to create a flashable zip for this? I really liked the speed of this rom.. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] wOrHeR SvK:
have anyone problem with widgets? when I add som they simply do not appear...
[HTC Desire S] aby2aby:
You are right. Sabsa Prime's Camera is blazingly fast and flawless.

It wil be good to have a Zip for Camera.

Can anyone tell me how to disable that supremely annoying Media Like HD thing, it pops up all the time when I'm on calls, I feel the phone vibrate slightly and then up pops the interface for it.

I don't use it and it bugs the hell out of me......
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Goto settings, display and gestures and check HTC gestures.

But this only appears when screen is on during a call. There must be sth wrong with your proximity sensor and you touch the screen with your face. Usually it should be disabled when holding the phone to your ear.

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I don't have issues. Make sure that you didn't set the update timer to "never" somewhere on the weather settings.

And of course, I'm assuming you agreed to google's terms of service regarding location services when you booted Fallout for the first time. If you didn't and locations are turned off, of course the weather app won't know where you are.

[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
it happened again. i did a clean install, reinstalled my apps through play store (didnt use titanium at all this time), used it 3 days, found it great, then this morning i decided to disable sleep2wake and when i rebooted, it got stuck at the HTC ONE screen at bootup right after the softkeys light up.

i've used adb to reboot it a few times now. nothing works. it goes into recovery fine though.

logcat attached.

switching back to reaperv4.

I have this problem a few times every day with Fallout v5.0.0 or Sabsa Prime v8.0
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Maybe some hardware issue? Never had that problem. The ROM is stable and smooth since I flashed it first and only time.

Have you tried some other roms, maybe non Sense based ones? If not do so since this is the only way to find out if you have problems with Sense.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
i had this problem and i bought a new battery, not a single shutdown since
[HTC Desire S] mongox7:
I tried reaper and other non sense rom and i didn't have this problem.

To be sure, i will try again a non sense rom, Icecolsandwich which i like a lot despite it has not been supported since july 2012 (:crying:) but it will allow me to be sure if it's a sense rom problem or not.

Thank's

Do I need to downgrade my HBOOT?

I'm a beginner in Android ROM flashing and would like to try out Fallout Evolution ROMs. I'm currently using the stock Ice-Cream Sandwich ROM, which is probably using an HBOOT version higher 0.98.0000 and 0.98.0002. As stated in the Installation Instructions, Fallout Evolution is sticking with the old HBOOT version of 0.98... Do I need to downgrade the HBOOT of my phone or may I simply stay with HBOOT 2.00...? I've searched the forum for hours, but haven't got a good answer. I really want to try Fallout Evolution ROM, which will give a rebirth to my device. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
You don't need to downgrade!

Only have to unlock your bootloader with htcdev if you didn't unlock yet.
[HTC Desire S] yeah_sure:
Do I have to root the phone before flashing the ROM? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

Although it's stated that the Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot is fully functional in Fallout Evolution V5.0.0, my phone hasn't been able to share its Internet connection to other devices. Is there anyone in the same situation? How can I solve the problem?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I use that feature extensively, and never ran into problems. Can you be more specific about the issue?

- Do the other devices actually see the network

- In the HotSpot settings, can you try other means of encryption just to see if it works out (WEP, Open, ...)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] yeah_sure:
I've found a solution to the problem - In "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings", under "Manage users", users shouldn't check "Allowed users only".
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Really???

:)
[HTC Desire S] yeah_sure:
Yes, the Hotspot function works without checking "Allowed users only". This function is really important to me.

Sense 4.1

@Lowveld What about porting Sense 4.1 from Desire X (Just like Sabsa Prime 8.5) as sense 4.0 is really heavy.... So i suppose no need of resizing plus your magic ... I know i am going to annoy you but just in case :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] alexp999:
Wouldn't it be better just to rebase to the latest RUU for the One V? I believe that has had the sense 4.1 update.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I've been "out" of the porting thing for quite some time, I have no idea what the Desire X is running, or what Sabsa prime is based on. But I'll check it out.

But are you sure the DSX has full Sense 4.1, or is it another lite version?
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
I think it's lite....

But I really love your port. Your ROM usually give me what I need and bugs free.. Thanks a lot for all your hardwork... ;)
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
It is a mix between full sense 4.1 and Sense 4.1 lyt... No official info however

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861122
[HTC Desire S] alexp999:
I would rather have lite anyway, just with the option to enable extra features.

The reason I flashed this rom was that it was fast and snappy coming from a ROM designed for the same hardware unlike the laggy experience with official ICS on the desire S.
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Well I just installed this as my first custom rom, after being a noob with the boot.img...

Anyway, love it! fast and works brilliant!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
In that case I prefer my approach with fallout: use the minimum amount of outside code as possible.

In fallout, the only outside code is the lockscreen related stuff, which simply did not exist on sense 4.0A. All the rest of the stuff is the original apks with the Sense 4 full stuff activated (HTC had simply hidden most of it). This limits issues to the minimum.

In my opinion, the only real reason to actually want a Full Sense 4 port is the Rosie, which implies a lot of other stuff spliced into the rom, not to mention resizing issues as there is none for our resolution.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Ok Lowveld... U know better than me...

What is going to be your new project...

Offtopic: When are u gonna change your device?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Just my two cents (I am not pushing for a new Fallout version)

Desire X has similar hardware specs to Desire S (comparison):

same: chipset (Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon), rare camera, RAM, screen resolution and probably touchscreen (S-LCD)

different: dual core processor @1.5 GHz, no front camera, GPU (Adreno 203 - our is Adreno 205)

Desire X is running Sense 4.1 lite (as well as Sabasa is a mix of One V (lite) and Desire X (lite) with some full Sense 4 goddies (recent apps, lockscreens) that are ported)

From my experience with Sabsa, HTC made 4.1 for the Desire X snappier and probably there are some bugfixes. It seems that the camera libs are totaly different (probably because of the new RAWchip technology) and it may be a PITA to have them working

For the other "informative" comments above aimed at lowveld - please inform yourself before posting ;)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Completely agree with you thoughts. Look at this vid and see how snappy 4.1 is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYfev3xgKR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
U too know better than me (juz a lighter mood mate... Love u.. U give us awesome tweaked kernel 3... No pun intended)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks mate! I agree that there should be some optimizations in the 4.1Lite, and it would probably make sense to actually port the thing directly.

What I meant is that I wouldn't want to start splicing One S/X stuff into it, just as I didn't want to do it in Fallout. This would mean start over, from patching the signature check on services.jar to re-coding every tweak on the new base, to fooling the entire rom into thinking it was full Sense, etc.

Not to say I won't try it / do it, but you can understand my reluctance. :)

It's not a question of who knows better, and any constructive criticism/suggestions are always welcome by me. I may not agree, but I think I've proven that I'm willing to hear anything out. :)

As for changing device, never before Christmas, and even then it's not guaranteed. At this point there's nothing out there which in terms of quality/price justifies the jump from the DS. This thing is a work horse...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Totally agree, I just had my contract renewal through and I chose a cheaper 12month tariff with no new phone as nothing grips me. Just installed FO and now feels like a new phone! Haha
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
This is what what I think. I have chosen the DS because it is like it is. Right now there is nothing out there that makes me feel it can be my next device. Maybe the desire x because of its design and size. Everything else is much to big. And it is doing what I need it to do.

I'm running fallout since it came out and it is and stays smooth. Sometimes I'm using CM10 but always come back since it is in terms of day to day use, stability, design and smoothness the best ROM at the moment.

lowveld, after making a few research and tryouts , disabling perflock is a must. can you make a small update to enable/disable perflock on fallout tweaks?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

What tryouts did you do? HTC Perflock is disabled at kernel level already, it's not something you can enable/disable at will.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
the common profile ( cpu master and set cpu ) settings are not working/changing. But after I disable perflock, all setting changes according to my profiles set.

same goes to charging. before this my charging profile is set it to ondemand 786mhz-1ghz. but after plug-in the charger, the profile wont change, and this causing massive lag ( common charging lag issue ) . but after disable perflock, everything is working fine.

I dont really know what happened behind those things btw. :silly:

I have one question

This is all very new to me. I tend to just use my phone and not a big fan of factory reset. If one day the developer release fallout 5.1 or newer version, do I have to perform a full wipe on my phone or I just apply the updater.zip or rom.zip? And will all my apps and settings stay where they are?
[HTC Desire S] SoulReaver75:
normally updates of the same release don't need factory reset.

more, there are very good backup softwares to restore settings and apps.
[HTC Desire S] oed86:
thanks a lot! I will stick with fallout until the dev decides to make clean install mandatory.

[HTC Desire S] craftman:
Rename /system/app/Camera.apk to any other extension with a root explorer, and place the new camerra app to there. Set the same permission on the new apk as the original has, and don't forget to clear camera data in settings/applications. You can extract the necessary file from the downloaded ROM .zip.
[HTC Desire S] mrp1nk:
still its almost 400mb to download and the server for download is not very stable so if somebody could pm me with download link to only camera.apk i'd be grateful, downloading ~400mb for 2mb app is quite pointless.

[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
Hello Lowveld,

i would like to propose a request.

Would you mind building a version of Fallout with the libs in system_lib and system_lib support in kernel?

I did the procedure described in DEXO-Thread and i like the idea of using the extra lib partition and having odexed apps all over the place.

Amindabuddha mentioned in his Kernel Thread, that the expansion of our RAM by those 100 MB is slowing down the overall performance, so i would like to deactivate it.

So the full request: libs in system_lib, odexed apps and the normal amount of RAM^^

After moving the libs and odexing i have almost the same amount on system free as before the procedure. So there is no loss here. But there is a gain of around 100 MB on data partition.

You could call it 5.1 oder 5.0 with lib support or something :)

Hope that is too much to ask.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
+1 . This is a great suggestion. Plus, you can update to kernel 8.6 included with Reaper governor.

so the really full request are :

1. libs in system_lib

2. odexed apps

3. normal amount of ram

4. Tweaked kernel v8.6 with Reaper governor

5. updated gapps ( if so )

basically, this is a major service pack for fallout. awesomeness :D

give it a vote guys
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Normal amount of ram?! I don't think fallout ever used zram swap like earlier versions of amidabuddhas kernel. And the other things, why don't you do that yourselves? I don't think lowveld will upgrade to hboot 7. 00... ;)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Correct, Fallout never used Zram by default, so no slow down there (unless you flashed one of the zram active amidabuddhas kernel versions).

As for the rest of the proposals:

- The libs on a dedicated partition would be available only for certain hboot versions, as it is, Fallout works everywhere

- The odexed/non odexed debate is pointless for me. De-odexed roms have a slightly longer boot time, and even that is not noticeable after first boot with the apps installed and the dalvik cache gets updated

So I'm not really seeing the advantages, but please correct me if I'm missing something.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tirofog:
Having been on this rom for six weeks, I thought I'd highlight some minor irritants concerning the messages app just to see if any other users experience the same:

A. The 'extra large' font size setting randomly reverts to 'large', I can't pin down exactly the timeframe but usually within a day or so.

B. After dragging a received message notification on the home screen into the lockring to open/view the message, sometimes the 'All messages' list is displayed, rather than just the individual message on screen.

C. In settings/general, the message preview eventually reverts to two lines (much the same as A above), even though the setting remains at one line.

Just small points in an otherwise great rom, thanks lowveld..
