[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I was just looking through the build.prop on this ROM and the first thing I noticed was the line

ro.ril.fast.dormancy=1

I've heard a lot recently about how disabling this will massively increase battery life so I decided to set it to 0. I haven't had a chance to test and probably won't get a chance to properly test it as I charge my phone whenever and also use my phone heavily so I'm not extremely bothered about battery life but if someone wants to try it out, please do say whether it has helped! I will see if it improves my battery life but like I said, I charge my phone all the time.
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
How do I change that?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Use any Root Exploring file manager, go to /system, mount system as writable and edit the build.prop. Look for this line as dan-fish said ro.ril.fast.dormancy=1 and just set it to 0. Then, save the file and reboot.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Use a root capable file explorer (I use ES where you need to go to settings and make sure root and writable settings are enabled). Go to system/build.prop and open it with a text editor. Then change the line ro.ril.fast.dormancy=1 to ro.ril.fast.dormancy=0. Save and exit.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@dan-fish I read around, and it seems to help people on AT&T a lot. It may depend carrier to carrier, so it may not work for everyone, still, seems better to turn it off. Here's a thread of someone willing to pay a $25 bounty to anyone who turned it off on AT&T Galaxy Note - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1681730 , seems that the battery improvement is massive
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah most the people have Samsung devices but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try.

Strange thing is I only found out about fast dormancy the other day when it was recommended to disable it on my brother's GS2.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi mate. Just wanted to ask you if you were planning to add "disabled scrolling cache" to the next update? I think that might help with the little lag while scrolling in lists like Settings etc... Just a suggestion. :)
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
do you have to change both these lines to 0 ?

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=3
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I only changed the first one to 0. I figured if it's off, the second line will have no effect anyway. So far battery life is looking good. It hasn't moved from the initial 100% after 2 hours but I'm curious to see how quickly it drops after.
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
ok cool ill give it ago and will report back later cheers dude
[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
hey guys, i wanted to edit build.prop file with root explorer but SuperSU doesn't prompt me the grant root access windows when i launch root explorer...

Any idea how to fix this?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
You have 2 options, either use an alternate app (like ES File Explorer and enable root access in settings) or, open SuperSU and change the setting from Prompt to Always Grant. Then ROOT EXPLORER should work fine.

[HTC Desire S] Lilion12:
Nice one gary, will test and give feedback.

Just installed this rom tonight, sooo looking forward to Naked ICS ROMS with Kernel 3...

Also, is there a way to disable battery icon in the status bar? I'm using another one...
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
How do I delete superSU then? Or do I leave it as it os?:confused:
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Open SuperSU, go to settings, and cleanup to switch to another superuser app.

Still hasn't dropped from 100 so could drop rapidly but it's looking good.
[HTC Desire S] Spazz Monk3y:
The battery is pretty good on this and doesn't drop fast at all, it gets to 50% on medium usage for me from about 8am until 11pm.

I had this. In Facebook app go to settings and actually select one of the sync contact options and click done. Give it a couple of minutes then go back to settings again and select remove contact information and click done.

All will then be well :-)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Battery life really depends on how you use the phone. Look at my screenshots.. all on fallout 2.0.0
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
Hi lowveld, forgive me to ask again, but is it possible to change the behavior like in Endymion? :confused:

Or where can i find the setting to change for myself?
[HTC Desire S] ffodi:
Simply flash the attached file, and it will replace SuperSU and SuperSU binary, with Superuser and its binary. :)

[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
I've had this myself, Not just with stock messaging app but also with 3rd party SMS apps and with Gmail app, I've only had this and occasional log issues since upgrading to 2.0, I've also had issues where i'm pressing and not getting a response , The phone flickers as if it's going to load the app i've pressed but then fails to start. Before I moan too much though I think i'm going to try a clean install!

[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Yes u can...just make sure u have selected the"mount as writable" option in the settings menu!
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
I've re'flashed the ROM without full wipe. Just cleared both Cache sections and the ROM seems a load faster and smoother. Not sure if I maybe missed one of these the first time but certainly noticing a big difference, responsive, all apps opening first time and no keyboard issues thus far... Fingers crossed!!

Lol, that's so many! When I change ROMs, I don't usually back up my Texts. Anyway, I've got at least 50 right now, and for me, I'm not having any terrible lag... Seems just like any other regular Sense ROM.

So, i don't know If it's rom related or a known issue on Google chrome beta, but whenever I pinch-to-zoom, before I release the touch, fonts and images appear blurry, after the release the page browsed is rendered well with a second of delay. Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Not really a bug, I guess. It's just the font adjusting to your zoom, it will definitely take time. Of course, the delay of one second is fine IMO
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
yep, experienced that myself ever time I do that in browsers, but just thought that was lack of CPU power (still waiting for kernel inn order to over clock this device) or cores in our device.....is that not meant to happen then?

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I'm pretty sure it's lack of power, had this since stock GB :p
[HTC Desire S] motopico:
Actually this didn't happen to me on stock gb browser, and I don't think the power of this device isn't enough to afford this rendering.
[HTC Desire S] Shamz84:
Yea I had that before but one its just got really bad can't use the phone. Gona re flash it when I get a chance. Annoyingly it keeps take screen shots and killing the battery.
[HTC Desire S] Zinken:
Just flashed this as my first Sense 4 ROM since first Primo came out. In general I think it's very smooth and stable.

Only bug I've encoutered so far is that lockscreen shortcuts disappear - no biggie for me since I mostly use widgetlocker anyway.

Also I have another question regarding ROM-development in general. Why is it that all ROMs contain markets app? In my opinion all apps that can be downloaded from market should not be integrated in the ROM so that everyone can choose for themselves but maybe there are perks that I'm not aware of?

In this ROM apps like Facebook, Flash Player, Dropbox etc. are all apps that are available on market but I guess they are integrated in sense and needs to be there?

EDIT: Noticed that I can't get the Status Bar brightness control to work no matter what I try, anyone else?
[HTC Desire S] xPeterJx:
Just been considering this ro.ril.fast.dormancy thing but I want to know if there are any downsides to disabling it?

The obvious up side is the battery life but I'm not quite sure what else it does and I'm probably thick but I have read a article and still don't get it. lol

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I thought that the phone was beginning to show its age, but yesterday i used the Galaxy Tab for web browsing, and it is ridiculously smooth... It's specs are even weaker, it has less RAM.

It's also ruining on the stock ROM, rooted, with loads of apps installed. It amazes me how smooth the browser is. I wonder why we never get the same experience on our phone :(

But all Samsung android devices have excellent web browsers, I think they are hardware accelerated.

But I also think its really smooth because it takes up a lot of memory, when I press home, the launcher has to reload...

Hi, i'm currently on 1.1.3 version of this rom, can someone please tell me what bugs does v2.0 have, its hard to track all of them beacause there is 2-3 new pages of posts every day :D

And does everything work fine if you just update this, withour full wipe?
[HTC Desire S] gr8guzzler:
I've faced a peculiar problem that's not been reported yet. When I'm using apps like sygic or raditaz which use audio in the car, when a call comes in the audio of these apps does not get switched off making talking to the caller impossible. Anyone faced this?

[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
Guys I did that thing mentioned earlier. Ro.ril.fast.dormancy to 0. And I've used it today. Same usage as anyother day and I'm feeling a faster battery drain. Again.. its just a feeling. What about you guys? Or did you all back out and I'm the only one who tried it.... xD
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
I think the rendering isn't optimized for our largest Ram, it's like sometimes some features aren't working to their full power, power that our phone can provide.

Nothing tough on lowveld though, and I'm sure that when we get a one s/one x port like endy all will be better.

And I see what you did there, with the coffee ;D chill the F out guys, lowveld got this...

Search for your question first, before you part think : "will this post add to the conversation?" Keep that in mind and rock on

Have you disabled auto brightness. I played for ages initially trying to work this out. Re-booting, Ticking and un-ticking the option in the tweaks settings... After all that I found it was as simple as disabling auto brightness!!
[HTC Desire S] Dwino:
softkey backlight

The softkey backlight is coming very late, it has to be almost totally dark, so the keys are not visible in dim light. Could you add (or is there already?) a tweak like in Endy or Hyperion?

best regards, Dwino
[HTC Desire S] Zinken:
Unfortunately I have. Auto brightess is off and I also fell like I've tried everything. Ticking and unticking, rebooting etc.

Found another minor bug - in calculator the numbers are to big to fit on the buttons. Also haptic feedback is on even though I have disabled it.

EDIT: Got it working now after enabling and disabling auto brighness a couple of more times.
[HTC Desire S] motopico:
Don't worry, that's not a bug but a design choice by HTC. It was like that in stock GB rom too.

for my knowledge it will be solved by that , otherwise , plz correct my info
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
No, it might not, the issue is that the camera app on sense 4 is designed with the image chip in mind. Hence it is not functioning well with Desire S

[HTC Desire S] dabado:
10 of the 10 issues last mentioned not happening here. Clean install of 2.0 and it's running great, only FC I have encountered was with fallout tweaks when first opened after device boots but it only happens once then it's fine could be Super Su related. Only camera bug I found was when recording in HD, play back the footage in landscape mode and half the screen is distorted, other than that camera is ok. A blunt point to people who rely on the camera so much buy a real camera as the DS camera is balls and regardless of your Rom or kernel the physical camera is always going to be the same...

Anyway great work as usual Lowveld, for what you have had to work with you've done a good job :thumbup:

Alright guys, in keeping with the tradition, here's a banner from me for Lowveld's fourth ROM. Time is really short these days, and my skill set with Photoshop is limited, so please bear with me if the banner is a little underwhelming as compared to the ROM!!:p

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@lowveld The add-ons you are making - will they be part of a flashable ZIP or a full ROM? I just downloaded v1.0.0, and I won't flash if you plan on releasing a new version with APM and other mods anytime soon.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If he keeps the same base, and modifies only the framework files (plus the way ICS upgrades and optimizes after changes), I think you'll be able to upgrade safely even if he releases a new ROM... so I think you should just go ahead and flash it man...
[HTC Desire S] aliishere:
see thats the reason people r crazy to use your rom
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Same approach as all my roms: cumulative upgrades a few MB worth, unless it's something major that really calls for another rom. You can flash safely, next update will be a small flashable.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
+1

I think the best thing about Lowveld is his old fashioned, had crafted ROM building. Rather than take chunks from everywhere and slap them onto his ROMs, he actually sews it into them thread by thread, painstakingly. The final result is therefore both shiny and sharp. Add to that his mastery of all things kernel, and you have a wizard of sorts. More than just the features Lowveld adds to his ROMs, I'm a die hard fan of his kernel work. Even today, the most successful Sense ROMs use Endymion as their kernel. That isn't something you come by everyday. I'm so glad he didn't move on to some pricey monster device like the One X, etc. Just knowing that he'll be cooking up all sorts of black magic brews here makes me stick to the DS! I think I came across too strongly as a fanboy... but meh, it's true, isn't it?!:D
[HTC Desire S] rzr09:
there's no more quick settings in the notification bar :confused:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Well I was speaking to motopico the other day, and he told me that he took a logcat, and discovered something to do with Qualcomm Drivers... This could mean we could never get the camera to work 100%, as we will be missing drivers, and as Suku said, we don't have the ImageSense chip...

Well yeah, the Camera isn't exactly the best, but on Sense 4.0, the quality is significantly worse compared to other ROMs. So it can still be improved on this ROM, it isn't a hardware limiting factor.

The only issues I see with the camera are

- Touch to focus not working (In either camera, or video recording)

- Lots of image noise

- Cannot take picture and video at the same time (Although, I think this could be because we lack the ImageChip... Although it does has worked for me occasionally.

- Video recording with the front facing camera works, but playback plays the video upside-down (or laterally inverted)

- EDIT: Also volume buttons don't work by zooming in on the camera app

Hopefully with the addition of the kernel source, this can be fixed, but I'm not sure how :confused:

But I have no knowledge, but I know lowveld is the man with this kernel stuff :)

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] motopico:
Well, I'm going to try a very dirty thing. I want to see if the old camera works in the new rom and make you know. Anybody tested it?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I thought about trying to use the Sense 3.6 Camera apk, and seeing if it worked on this... To be honest, I doubt it'd work, but you never know :)

Give it a try :p
[HTC Desire S] shetoshandasa:
i have already tried it , but found alot of FC :S

i see it's not impossible to make the camera works , as from Fallout version 1.0.0 till now , i think there is a lot of progress

we hope that he become able to solve the small buggy issues found in it
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
I have said before but nobody seems to listen, camera.apk from fallout 1.3 and proxs primo 4.0 works apart from auto focus. Yes that means taking pics while video with no crash
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yes... I have said that... :rolleyes: read my post again :p

Also image noise is present, and the video playback bug after recording via FFC.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
You said you couldn't take pictures while video recording with the combination I have described you CAN :-)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Just tested it... Not working :(

But like I said, it works sometimes... hmmm

EDIT: Another bug, volume buttons don't work on the camera...
[HTC Desire S] motopico:
I sadly suppose that it will be impossible (or at least very hard) to adapt the stock Sense 4 camera on our device without its sources in a completely bugfree way.

I guess I am very lucky then :-)

[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
To answer a question that has not been answered:

To one second deley after pressing power is not a bug, its because of the screenshot feature by pressing home during that time.

And btw, Samsung stock browsers don't render text to fit to page when you pinch that well, even on the GS III you have to scroll sideways. That may be one of the reasons they feel much more fluid. Nevertheless the browser could be a little better.
