I don't get why people are so concerned about the so-called "call delay" issue? to me , it's a non issue. I always answer my phone, wait 1 second then say hello. I have been using this technique since the very first time this issue surfaced. I think it was back with GB.

I have never lost a call or upset a caller. It is a flawless workaround I swear by.

Great work Nikez, I haven't been on the forums lately so I'm not up to date on the posts but I've heard that you're working on a 4.2 base. That's nuts, good luck, I'll definitely be giving it a shot!
[Desire Android Development] ToastnButter:
I understand it's not a deal breaker for most users, but picture this: 1 second delay is noticable for 3/4 of the people who call me, to the point that they ALWAYS manage to ask "hello?" one or two times before they can hear from me.

It's also kind of pain in the butt when I'm in a hurry.

And I obviously did not express myself correctly, by "out of the box" I meant "right after flashing the rom", but being a pedant myself, you are excused :P
[Desire Android Development] mascolel:
I have the same problem. My fiancee is always arguing that I don't say anything when I answer the phone. Because of this, I also have to say 2-3 times "Hello" until I hear her voice.

Obviously there are much more important features to be developed... but if the programming is not so complicated, this could be an important improvement for coming releases.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I don't think it's hard to fix, no. BUT I don't have time to look through sources. If anyone finds the issue, i'll submit it.
[Desire Android Development] primski:
i don't know the fix, but looking at the screen when you get a call, or call someone, there is a counter which starts when call starts. so say hello, when counter starts counting and they will hear you just fine. took me a while too :P

on another note... anyone got Firefox for Android installed on this phone? how does it work compared to chrome and stock browser?
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
It works well but nothing compares to stock on the old Desire. Chrome will start flickering after a while and Firefox , I find, has a slower start. Opera, on the other hand, is quite alright. I recommend the stock browser.
[Desire Android Development] x3m.zone:
Dolphin browser is my favorite. Clean. Fast. Stable.
[Desire Android Development] Klausi:
I highly recommend the Boat Browser ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatbrowser.free) :thumbup:
[Desire Android Development] stevesuk:
Not noticed this problem myself, but don't make many calls on my phone - use it more as a mini tablet :)

But, have any of you guys tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991704 Bit of a long shot, but just maybe...
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
That CDP never worked.
[Desire Android Development] stevesuk:
From reading around, it seems that on many phones, this has been a well known problem with AOSP since Gingerbead was released.

Apparently Cyanogenmod had a fix - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/5420/ (see also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087476).

This was for Gingerbread, but wonder if the same fix can apply to ICS and Jelly Bean? At least it seems the problem is the same, which is a start :)
[Desire Android Development] mascolel:
Very nice, stevesuk. On this website, they explain how they managed to (kind of) "fix" the problem.

This link shows the 8 line modification on the code of the file "CallManager.java": http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/5...m/android/internal/telephony/CallManager.java

According to his explanation, his modifications are resumed to:

"This patch sets a boolean acceptingIncomingCall to true on

acceptCall. In setAudioMode, we set the mode as IN_CALL if the call is

ringing and acceptingIncomingCall is true. This initializes the

microphone sooner, and should reduce the microphone delay."

Just hope someone can take a look at this file and help Nikez (and us) to solve this issue!
[Desire Android Development] primski:
looks nice, will try it out, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] bla_laber:
Has anyone suffered from this:

I took a screenshot and wanted to share it using the statusbar. I expanded the notification of the screenshot in the statusbar and tapped the share button. Afterwards, my phone rebooted.

Here's a (quite long, there is a lot of background action, though I tried to do nothing unecessary) logcat - hope it helps. Logcat was canceled due to the reboot.

http://pastebin.com/6rpcyfny

Edit: it seems, that thats a logcat since booting the phone - useful information should be at the end of it.

80% screen battery usage

I've had pretty poor battery performance with p1 compared to previous versions and other JB-roms. So today when I finally bothered to look into the problem I noticed that the screen battery usage is at about 80%. That can't be normal, right?

Anyone experienced the same?
[Desire Android Development] mascolel:
My battery is lasting almost 2 days (talking about 1h/day) and normal usage. I would say that the time before inactivity (in screen options) of your mobile may be too large (I'm using 1 minute). Or maybe you can put automatic brightness to decrease your battery consumption.

PS: My battery usage:

Voice 47%

Wifi: 14%

Screen: 10%
[Desire Android Development] Huntarn:
I have been using auto brightness. But my time before inactivity have been set to 10 minutes. Does this effect the battery life though? Well, if I kept the screen on for those 10 minutes after everytime I use my phone it obviuosly would. But I don't. Perhaps I've completely misunderstood the function of this setting? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] mascolel:
Try "1 minute" for 2 days. This will probably solve your problem. This rom is very efficient in terms of battery usage when compared to all others that I have already used.
[Desire Android Development] Huntarn:
Yep, will do that. Thanks for helping out.

Notification sound issue - temporary fix

Hello everyone,

in the attachment you can find a flashable zip of my fixed Phone.apk. It automatically resets the volume level of notification sounds to the previous level after every phone call.

Please backup your current Phone.apk before you flash the zip, so that you can restore it if the fix doesn't work for you.

Another relevant info: With the fixed Phone app you will hear a short beep after every phone call at the time when the fix gets executed. So please only use the fix if you can live with that ;)
[Desire Android Development] extaxi:
My phone switches off when battery is at 20%. In the stock ROM I knew where to do the setting for this. Where can I find it in the Nikez ROM?
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Phone has to switch off at zero. Probably you have to calibrate your battery. It should be a thread about this in this forum. :)
[Desire Android Development] extaxi:
But there was a setting when your phone goes to "energy-saving". I cannot find that too.
[Desire Android Development] mascolel:
Maybe one of these softwares work https://play.google.com/store/search?q=battery+calibration&c=apps
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Energy saving it's different from correct calibration! :)
[Desire Android Development] pyko:
Been using this ROM (v3.1.0p1) for a few weeks now and it's awesome!

Only have two minor issues:

1. Similar to extaxi, my phone also switches off once it reaches 20% - looking at graph afterwards it slopes down to 20% then the line goes vertical.

It could just be a calibration issue, getting similar usage out of the phone ~15hours of normal usage

2. Phone seems to have a tendency to freeze and force reboot when I launch apps from the docks/favourites tray. Seems to only affect apps downloaded from the play store (Phone, Message, Gmail, Browser have not crashed upon launch).

The adb log just before phone froze and rebooted itself

Work is happening on 4.2, so the next update will take a while. Until then we all know the bugs/fixes for the current release.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Having found out about the huge number of bugs that shipped with 4.2 is it really worth it trying to issue an update before Google offers a fix? Or are they working on fixing those bugs by themselves? Just curious...
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
So, I'm back.. I have been at Stockholm for the weekend (Saw Swedish House Mafia, epic shieet). I am really busy with school and work now, I honestly have no time to do anything except work and school. Hopefully this'll stop after the 8th of December. But I can see that the rest of the team are working on 4.2 and no, not with the bugs presented w/ 4.2. We're having trouble with getting our devices with various fixes to start.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting int2sd working.

I"m running a2sd (yny) and always only have 32mb free. I have to remove apps just to do upgrades otherwise I run out of space.

I believe int2sd will solve my problems.
[Desire Android Development] x3m.zone:
Use DroidSail Super App2SD (ROOT) to move any app to your SD FAT and then with the same app clean your cache. This will solve your problems.

I have 57 apps & games installed and 63Mb internall free space.
[Desire Android Development] kl1k:
Thanks. moved all the apps except the ones running as widgets and I'm up to 38mb. Not much extra but I suppose every bit helps.

such a pity the desire has so little memory :(
[Desire Android Development] x3m.zone:
Menu -> Clear Cache.

Did you try that?
[Desire Android Development] BartAfterDark:
What nightly build are people using?
[Desire Android Development] kl1k:
Yip - tried that.

[Desire Android Development] Nbsss:
When a rom thread like this gets quiet, its usually a sign that the rom is near its final stages and most people are very satisfied with it as a daily. I'm loving it, probably won't get the nexus4 as a result of Nikez amazing work :)
[Desire Android Development] extaxi:
Totaly agree with Nbsss. I love my desire again :)

The only 2 small bug I experienced myself is that Bluetooth is not working like the stock ROM,

When I turn on BT and get in to my car then it doesn't easily get connected. When I first step in to my car and then turn on BT it goes better.

And the camera is not working 100%, but in the end I can make my pictures and see/use them, so not a big deal.
[Desire Android Development] laving1977:
Is there a simple and complete guide what steps are suggested after installing latest version in order to have it working like charm and getting over all "small things"?
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Just follow the guide on Nikez site. Install, activate a2sd, you're done. :)
[Desire Android Development] phanmo:
2102 is a typo, right? It should be 2012?
[Desire Android Development] csytracy:
Would you please consider adding these two features:

1. power toggles in the notification area.

2. long press back button to kill application.

The future of desire is in your hand. we are counting on you.
[Desire Android Development] dethrat:
1. I think that's already in some where.

2. I'm glad there's no power toggles. Why add something when there's perfectly good apps in the play store

[Desire Android Development] lman00:
It would be good to see a feature matrix, what's working what's not. Is the camera in usable shape, how about audio? The changelog "xxxxx improvements" doesn't say much :/. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] vincentru:
Why not using the Gapps package from 17 July (available from Google) instead of 13 July (available from your Nikez's link)?

Just a quick feedback from Alpha 3 (with full wipe):

- Winamp not working but other music players OK

- Dolphin Browser HD not working but stock navigator OK

- Google Voice Search not working, but Google Now maps seem OK for some of them

- Bluetooth Audio link not pairing

- WIFI Tethering switching on (and recognized by other devices) but automatically switching off

- Overclocking up to 1152 Mhz OK with third-party app.

- Even if launcher surfing is slower compared to ICS, opening apps and surfing the web is quicker.

Hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] mlerota:
I don't know why you and some other developers have problems with sharing your roms over the net. I have a server where you can put and share your roms and gapps for free if you want. Just PM me and I will create you a ssh or ftp account.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Well obviously you haven't seen my releases. This is the first time this happends to me. I always provide a stable site with high download rates and mirroring.

Anyways, the mirror is up now.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I honestly dont have time nor the will to do that. It is a pre-alpha release - I'd much rather spend my time trying to fix e.g the camera instead of compiling a list each time.

Edit: The chanelogs should provide enough information for you guys to know what has changed throughout and what works.

Excellent update. Very smooth. Had zero problem in flashing this over p3 without wiping data(only wiped dalvik). Thereafter I flashed the gapps and everything is good to go. I can honestly say that with Launcher Pro it feels just like the fastest gingerbread. Been using this ROM for the past one week as my daily ROM with zero problems. I can live with no Camera for some time.
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Guys...

Is it smooth for you?

I flashed p4 and it is terrible. Choppy. Like it doesn't have HWA.

Also "launcher stopped responding" etc. WTF

[Desire Android Development] mrkaehler:
Here is fine. I like it.

Maybe you have activated a2sd with moving appdata (y/y/y) instead of recommended y/n/y ?

:cool:
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
And the idiots too...

Other users mention that it is very smooth:

"Excellent update. Very smooth"

"Here is fine. I like it."

"Excellent update. Very smooth"

What I'm trying to say/ask is whether the choppiness in the UI (transitions, scrolling, animation) is normal due to the pre-alpha stage of the ROM or something went wrong with the flash...

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Works just fine here. Tried at home and then at work.. Try flushing your DNS/Cache?
[Desire Android Development] heraSK:
it might be some restrictions on our work network, since other computers are affected too. now i'm downloading via WiFi via desire, also at work but it's on separate modem, or whatever, so it shouldn't have those restrictions. it did go further than 50% but it did stop there for a few seconds and the download bar said 'waiting'. whatever happened i don't know but it went all the way. sorry for the missunderstanding...;)

It's technical and includes all the devices Evervolv are working on, but it gives you an idea where they are at...
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I'd just like to say that it has been a fun run guys :) Yesterday I finished some huge laborations so my work load has decreased by 40% but I still have so much left until I can even think about working on Android. And to make things worse, my N4 is hopefully coming within 2 weeks as well..

I can also see (by ad revenue, donations and downloads) that the interest for Evervolv for Desire has begun to cool off.

So, yeah, I guess we can just wait and see. Sorry.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
F**k...
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
The One X and the N4 took all our devs. It's been a great 3 years, but the Desire section is slowly going toward what happened to the n1 section.

How much did you pay for the N4?
[Desire Android Development] kaalakiota:
More to the point how much in donations would it take to convince you not to quit just yet?
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Interest is high when the rom and its topic are alive and updated. So I think it's normal after 40 days without updates..even if some people click on ads everyday. :) Someone tried the nightly too! ;)
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
Well, thanks old boy, it has indeed been a good run. Never thought I'd have JellyBean on my Desire :laugh:

Guess I'll keep it for six months more or so then get a new phone like the N4.

Thanks again.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I am not gone yet ;)

I got it on a contract here in Sweden, 289 SEK/month for the phone + unlimited free calls (to all operators)+ unlimited sms/mms + 5 GB data + 0 SEK in dialup fee.

Nothing, I just used the lack of donations as an example of why I noticed things were cooling off.

True, but still. Used to have loads of activity eventho' I didnt release for 30 or so days.

This wasn't a "good bye"-post. Just giving you guys a status update of what's going on. But as I said, I am not entirely sure whetever to suspend QSD8K-development or not.

I'm running nightly from 10 Nov. Is wifi tethering supposed to work in this version?

Just curious if someone has tested it before I try wiping and flashing again.

Skickat från min Nexus 10 via Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] Vvvz:
Well it works for me with WPA security (but not with WPA2) after fresh reboot for some time (1-2h).

Don't forget to check HSPA before trying tethering. The "default" only option in APN configuration is a workaround for mobile data issue. But it should work properly after reboot anyway if you you have wifi option disabled before start rebooting.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
There are plenty of reasons for you to continue... fun, hobby, just to show that it can be done on a 3y old device, the occasional beer, etc... I'm sure there will be plenty of activity with a new release. It's just that you've trained people to be silent if they don't have anything good to say. And today serves as an example of that. Just look at the posts. But in the end a dude's gotta do what a dude's gotta do...

[Desire Android Development] WoH:
The major problem is the display (and, as always the kernel), just to inform you about the technical issues.

Sure, it's fun to see when new featues work on old hardware, but most of the time messing around with legacy hardware means a lot of problems, so it's holding back the "fun" part of hacking or developing.

I probably won't have to tell you that the hardware isn't able to handle the newer roms (4.0+) very well, I can understand drewis' opinion that vsync for example won't be a big speed improvement.
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Why would you want to find another rom? There are many excelent discontinued roms.

If it isn't updated anymore doesn't mean that you have to change it...
