lower auto brightness

here is framework-res.apk for lower auto brightness settings to save battery.

Just replace the framework-res.apk in the folder system/framework by this. If you're already running Fallout you can replace it by using "adb remount" and "adb push...." commands.

take a nandroid before!

have fun!

How to revert to original Fallout kernel after flashed amidabuddha kernel?

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Nazri786:
maybe you can extract the fallout zip file and flash the kernel only....

It should be the boot.img file, I think u can use the command to flash it in fastboot. Dun forget to backup and wipe cache and dalvik before doing anything.

epic 'tut' sound -.-

at lease lowveld should post a flashable updated kernel :3
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Why? What problems do you have with the current one? And you can always flash amidabuddhas more up-to-date kernel.

Lowveld isn't getting paid to do this, there's no reason why he should update anything, that's his choice.
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
Lowveld's untouched Fallout v5 come with his default governor, Reaper. That's why people who knows about reaper, wants the reaper. And by the way, I'm not asking or demanding, I'm just saying, at least he should. Oh yeah at least, I pay for lowveld apps in play store, and I donated to him on xda.

Do I make myself clear? :cowboy:
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Lately something new happens to me. There is something called "system_server" that is demanding super user rights. I'm not shure if this is Rom related but I have never seen that before. Last thing I did was installing chrome. It only happens when I turn ON WiFi or the phone connects to a WiFi network. Since I don't know what exactly this is SuperSU is set to deny and everything seems to work without any problems.

I know that this is some kind of system process but have never seen that before so I'm a little confused.

Anybody experienced this too?
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
never happens to me before. are you really sure only chrome was installed? did you check if your device using x-ray, was it patched or not? maybe there's something nasty from previous installation on your sd card?

[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually I underwent some minor surgery, and am stuck at home for the next few weeks. Using the laptop for the moment is very very uncomfortable, so I'm keeping it to a minimum. But I hear you, I'll update the kernel when I'm "better".

And Yes, I'll be buying the N4, but I will be keeping the DS, I won't be leaving. This is like second home to me.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Hope your getting better, don't strain too hard. This rom will still be here when your ready.

I'm your huckleberry
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
this! Thanks bro :)

btw, N4? Aww, I heard the flagship between google and lg is a fail because lg overpriced the N4 . but it's damn sure a good device thou. A few more bucks, you can get HTC One X+ :D

get well soon!
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Thanks mate.

As for the N4 choice, I suppose a lot of arguments can be made against it, but I never expected "overpriced" to be on the list. 279£? Really?

The One X is going by 380£ sold direct by amazon, and who knows how much the One X+ will go...

Anyway, it's not all about the price, although it did tip me overboard.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] oed86:
Was happening to me too. I was a bit worried because custom rom was totally new for me, and i don't have enough time to full-wipe and reconfigure everything again in case something goes wrong after supersu permission approval. So I won't have to worry then. Thanks loads guys for pointing that out!

Is there a fix for the camera that crashes?
[HTC Desire S] ValdoNunes:
Guys, the 3g on my phone doesnt work, i know its not the sim cards fault because it works on other cellphones, so i suppose its something with the ROM. When i try to turn on 3g it gives a failure report (something like "generical failure of the network"). I cant also receive mms

Any thoughts on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
As nobody else seems to have this problem, it doesn't seem like a rom issue. Have you tried with other roms on the same phone?

Sywepd form my DsereiS
[HTC Desire S] sendietera:
i had read some comment, and i know that should deactivated face detection like u`r say and also change video resolution, not full HD...

i mean here, is there possible to change camera apk, like use camera.apk from ruu, but still using fallout5...

thanx for answering...
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
It is the camera.apk from the RUU, modded to at least work with the DS. The problem is that when tricking the framework to activate some full Sense features, some stuff on the camera got activated because it thinks it's a One S.

Given that with some common sense (e.g. Not trying to use stuff you know does not work with the DS hardware), the camera works fine, I never went through the trouble of removing all the unusable code from the apk. Which is way more complicated than it sounds, by the way.

I think this OTA feature will be nice to have

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC Desire S] oed86:
I think you're going a bit too far here, mate. Lowveld gave us his excellent custom roms free of charge. Of course you can donate, but he didn't make that a requirement for using his custom roms. So we are using the roms more or less gratuitously, and we should be grateful for the time and resources the dev put into his roms. Asking the dev to buy a server for OTA after he gave you free roms? That's just too much.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Unless if course you intend to donate or fund the operation of a server yourself?

Has anyone had issues with low microphone volume in calls on this ROM? I'm being told that people can hardly hear me a lot recently but all volumes are up to max already.
[HTC Desire S] hundeva:
First of all, I tend to speak loud while I'm on the phone, but noone ever complained he or she can't hear me.

Second, and it is just a friendly question for lowveld, it was mentioned, that there will be an update, when can we expect it? If soon, I won't start to remove any bloatware I don't need - since I will just wipe everything anyway -, like Dropbox etc, if later, then I will tune a little bit.

cheers for the awesome rom :)
[HTC Desire S] reo_sam:
Removing bloatware is not a very time-consuming thing.

Titanium Backup can help you easily, in case you are not very comfortable in removing them from /system/apps using a root explorer. Just make a nandroid before doing it.

Regarding updates, the ROM is at a very decent level and most things do not really need to be changed in it.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

I used Fallout extensively, and never had problems with mic volume on calls. Also never heard anyone complain about something similar over here, so I don't know what to tell you.

Regarding the update, what I said was that I would update the kernel when I felt physically capable of doing some work. Thing is amidabuddha is doing such a great work with his kernel that I don't really feel the need to do it.

So I don't foresee an update on the near future, as I don't think it's needed. What time I can use at a computer I'll either work on my apps (have some pending ideas for both UCS and FTL), or help out other devs on their roms.

Cheers

Sent from my sofa
[HTC Desire S] hundeva:
I see, thanks for the answer. Since I dont really understand this part of the thing, can I flash the mentioned (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845039 this one, right?) kernel manually? If so, what changes would I feel? Better performance/battery life? Just a few words will do it, thanks! :)

oh and one more thing: get better! :)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yes you can flash that fine, (choose other sense 4 in aroma, NOT virtuous). As for differences, I believe that some more govenors and schedulers have been added since the version lowveld originally compiled from, and its just been tweaked a little. As for performance increase, well that is always a little subjective, some people some yes some say no. Same thing with battery life. I'd suggest try it for yourself and make your own mind up.:D
[HTC Desire S] reo_sam:
And do make a backup before doing that so that if things are not better, you can already go back to good. :D

[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
No problems with mic volume here either.

However I do have a problem with auto-rotation of screen - it won't switch off. It was fine for a couple of months but now it's on even when it says it's off.

As for the kernel - I believe that flashing the kernel is not an option when unlocked by the HTC-dev method - so an update with the kernel installed would be appreciated when it's possible, and painless.
[HTC Desire S] dan_alexandre:
Why isn't it an option? No problems here.. you just have to flash the boot.img.. file which is provided by either rom or the kernel you downloaded (for example: Tweaked X kernel's zip include several boot files)
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
my mistake, I'll look at that again, thanks
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
Any ideas on the auto-rotation?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Apart from the sensor dying, nothing...

Please try the sensor calibration tool somewhere in Settings to see if it's responding, and you can also try another rom to double check.

Cheers

Why don't you try it and see, it's probably the most complete and issueless sense roms out. If you have any doubts the just read through the thread and you'll see that most of the issues are due to the user and not the rom.

Update on my auto-rotation problem:

I tried a clean install (after full wipe) of FE 5 and the problem was still with me, so I was thinking that it wasn't a ROM problem.

But just to check I installed Pacman - problem gone!

So I have to regretfully say goodbye to Fallout for a while, the battery drain from screen rotation being on all the time was just too great. :(

battery drain

I too seem to be haveing exsesive battery drain 8 hours from full charge JUST SAT ON MY DESK have I missed somthing or do i just put up with it to use this ROM
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
If you've just installed then a wipe of battery stats might sort it.
[HTC Desire S] towinguk:
thanks for that

but have done that and read throught this and other threads
[HTC Desire S] alexp999:
If you have wiped battery stats, have you done a full charge cycle so it can re calibrate?

Fully charge, run flat till it turns off then fully charge again.

Lol. Lol. Please stop this nonsense, it's driving me mad. :mad:
[HTC Desire S] g-banjo:
Sorry to hear about your mental fragility teadrinker. Also sorry if this advice is inappropriate to this ROM.

I was advised to try this myself with another ROM when I was having problems with short charge life after installation. I tried it, it worked. I can only assume from your post that this will not work with this particular ROM.

I hope you feel better soon.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
It's nothing to do with what rom you're using, wiping battery stats does NOTHING, apart from deleting the stats about what apps etc. have been using up the battery. This is a fact. Not just a theory, like evolution or the big bang. A known fact.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
OK guys, please keep it civil. We have a long history of helping each other out, no matter how many times false information floats around.

G-banjo, you overreacted man. I don't think teadrinker meant to insult you in anyway, and your own response is far more insulting.

Remember we are different from other xda device forums, and proud to be so.

Yes, finally, an ICS ROM by lowveld :D

I have a request, in the One X section, there are ROMs with all kinds of tweaks, LeeDroid, Pokemon (which seems to be the same , but with different names). Could you please port them here?? Since the files require resizing, you'll have to copy the code and not the files themselves. That's why i didn't ask anyone else :p

What a great morning... ICS from Lowveld! :D

Has anyone tried upgrade from latest Primo S?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Primo S has lyapota stuff integrated. I believe this one here is a clean port, except the additions that lowveld made himself.

Anyway a fresh setup can take you up to 20 minutes if you use the right backup tools. I am using Google server for the Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Bookmarks. Titanium backup for the apps and settings. There is an app on the Market for the SMS, but I don't care about them. Sometimes I do a clean install even when updating the same ROM to avoid any bugs leftovers and unnecessary problems.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
You can flash without a full wipe if you want, but do not report bugs in that case. To report bugs, do a full wipe. This applies to all ROMs, not just this one, I always perform full wipes, even when updating to a newer version of the same ROM, like amidabuddha said.

Perhaps lowveld could do the same? :)

Also the homescreen, are they 2D? I'd rather have it fully 2D, in 1.56 HTC got rid of the semi 3D. But prox added this back, but now we have FC's in HTC Sense because we are using the old launcher

[HTC Desire S] banny7000:

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The same here. Probably it is the 1.56 stock behaviour, the menu button works in every other screen or app. For me it is not a big deal since we have shortcut to the system settings in the notification bar and the wallpapers can be changed in personalization app. Apart from that this ROM is perfect (no surprise, taking the author ;) ) Tested USB mount several times works as a charm Internet Transit too (oh I have missed this feature a long time). The camera is not FC with flashlight. It is fast. No HTC System crash. Personally I do not need much more.

Oh and one more important thing (at least for me): USB debbuging is enabled by default
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
About Force GPU Rendering

To put it bluntly: don't!

That option should not be exposed to the end user by google, let alone by HTC on a proprietary rom.

It forces all the 2D rendering to be done by the GPU, but here'e the catch: there is a lot of code that cannot be ran on the GPU. So older apps that do things traditionally may stop working completely if you turn this on. Hell, I bumped against this when coding Ultimate Call Screen, and it's not particularly graphic intensive.

The option is misleading as it doesn't warn the user of what could happen. Also, dumping everything on the GPU is not a good thing, why do you have a 1GHz snapdragon for? Let ICS and the app developers handle where their code runs.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, i have been running EQS since yesterday and I absolutely love it. I hope lowveld could encorporate it into his ROM sometime in the near future, maybe even add settings to disable or re order toggles or quick quicksettings. Till then, those looking for a bug free experience should stay off it, as lowveld said, you can't report bugs if you flash something he didn't provide.

PS - The guy who made EQS is pretty awesome. In his thread, he says that anyone is free to share this or put it in his ROM, no need to ask for permissions. Shows that he does this for the community, not credit :)
