Thanks Geko - I used bootloader. I tried a couple diff radios now.

I still can NOT get this ROM to boot - it just stays at the boot animation - I've let it try for 45 min yesterday. Last build I used was r7.x and r6 worked fine. I am wondering if it is the ICS I had that is to blame. So frustrating....

May i suggest to redownload the rom, it cud be a garbled DL

Flashed R8 last night, only to get on this morning and see R9. AAAAaaarrrgh! Will the temptation never end?

Any way, after flashing 8, camera wouldn't work, did the "Gallery stopped working" thing. So I downloaded a 3rd party, it worked. Rebooted just for grins, and now stock camera works, including 720p. That (camera, not video) was the main thing that kept me on R6. And I haven't yet experienced the system sound/glowing screen bug either, so R8 is my DD for the next few days.

I am a bit curious about battery life though. It seemed R8 was pretty bad, but I'm not sure. I've been playing with it almost non-stop, so it was hard to get a good read.

I let it sit for a bit this morning and got this:

What do you guys think? 2 1/2 hours from 100% to 94%, wifi on, crappy signal strength (I live in the boonies), little to no use. Is this reasonable?
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Select wipe all partitions except sd card. And then re flash. Also see if it will boot without sd card. May need to reformat sd. Also sometimes leaving it plugged into charger will cause it to hang. I experienced this on ics. I waited 30 min but as soon as I unplugged it the phone hardkeys came on immediately. Then booted as normal.
[Desire HD Android Development] Daimonion1980:
No i don't have it. Damac told that camera is in gallery. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Raza Qadri:
but it's not working :highfive:
[Desire HD Android Development] DPLOY:
Thanks Gizmoe...just tried all your suggestions ...no deal. Something must be stuck on my internal storage.

Does anyone know what is the equivalent of /system/etc/init.d/01sysctl and vdd_level in Android 4.1.1?
[Desire HD Android Development] Cliff1:
Also along with broken camera. The microbes live wallpaper isn't working. :P
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Is your partitions set to ext4? Script is written for an ext4 file system.
[Desire HD Android Development] stormlcc:
RB if u can fix the camera bug (gallery FC, panorama flicker etc) in R10, your ROM is almost perfect. disable photo shooting animation in the camera app and IT IS PERFECT. I'm on R8 at the moment, and it's my daily driver. I need a stable camera and panorama, please please please fix the FC issue, my previous ICS camera works perfectly and is fast as hell because it doesn't have the stupid animation after photo capture. I used the phone's camera for my previous trip to Taiwan (when still on ICS ROM) and ppl thought the photos were from a DLSR camera! Thank you!
[Desire HD Android Development] Cliff1:
I also have a weird problem. My signal says I have 2 bars. When I go o send a message or either fails to send while having the 2 bars or as soon as I hit send whatever service I do have becomes zero. :/ anyone help me out with that. I was gonna flash htc's newest radio but Idk what area it would cover. I'm in upper Louisiana. :P very irritating
[Desire HD Android Development] Jal84:
Sounds like system sounds, alarms and notification are always on mute. To fix this I had to change the "sound control" from extensible to simple, setting it back to extensible will keep the sounds active.
[Desire HD Android Development] DPLOY:
Not sure. Using twrp...would another rom change the partition type? Using ice cold sandwich perfectly.
[Desire HD Android Development] juicyp:
RB, great work! Using R8 and its faultless, I've experienced non of the issues others report and today at the UK head office of a major mobile telephony provider it was given generous praise!

Can I just make a comment - 6 bar signal indicator - surely thats about much use as tits on a fish? You either have a signal or you don't, GSM technology doesn't really work in any other way, so whilst it may be a nice decorative feature it will just serve to give a false impression to most users?

When I open it, it closes itself immediately.

Any fix?

And also camera not working at all, just fc.
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
Come on people all these camera not working reports and no logcat. I wasn't gonna flash R9 because of the no camera working but just did it so I can post up a logcat since nobody is doing. He puts a lot of work into this least we can do is make it easier for RB, here is one logcat and gonna post this on the issue tracker also
[Desire HD Android Development] Nandeh:
Hi guys!

Just trying this new version, and it works really smooth, but i can't find the option to wake using Volume keys... It's working?

Thanks a lot! :good:
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
For the market not working: try clearing data, this usually helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] hojd:
It is right that the camera does not work in r9 but the market works as it should ... Maybe you have to reflash both r9 and google apps.

[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
What on earth are you talking about? How would it give a false impression to user? A signal indicator is merely correlated to difference levels of signal strength. Different number of bars (6 vs 4) merely means a different scale correlating to signal strength. It may not be necessary, but I would like to see a more precise measurement of my current signal strength in the bar format. I don't see what's confusing about that
[Desire HD Android Development] HyperCriSiS:
R8 was just perfect. Had NO issues. Everything working and fast as hell.

Unfortunately Cam is broken in R9.
[Desire HD Android Development] devil-kin:
Are these libraries there? Otherwise you can lift them from the previous version.
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
got camera working

adb remount

adb push libjpeg.so /system/lib

adb push libgemini.so /system/lib

adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/libjpeg.so

adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/libgemini.so

adb reboot recovery

Not wanting to look a gift-horse in the mouth, but is there a way someone with some mad skills make this 'fix' flashable? :good:

I mostly do everything through the phone, and most of my time in front of a pc is at work, so no option to put adb on here. Or we could wait patiently until RB fixes it in R9.something or R10.
[Desire HD Android Development] UnionBlvd:
Judging from raulz28's logcat, you may also need to add back libwvm.so from R8.
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
I don't know how to do this lol
[Desire HD Android Development] juicyp:
Its confusing because it's not what most people think or believe it is, and what is does represent is pretty irrelevant to most.To understand part of what’s going on, it’s necessary to realise what the signal bar indicator on a cell phone does (and doesn’t) mean.

For those who don't get it, from a blog (http://fscked.co.uk/post/751030001/more-on-the-iphone-4-signal-issue) "Wireless engineers don’t think in terms of bars, they think in terms of signal to noise ratio, which is often called SNR. When you’re not using the phone, a few times a second it checks it can still hear the control channels that the cell tower uses to send messages to the phones — messages like “here’s an incoming call, wake up and deal with it”. Of course, in today’s crowded airwaves, your signal is my noise, and vice versa; usually what happens when the signal suddenly drops away is that something has started up nearby and is interfering with your reception. This is like when a car with faulty shielding drives past and you lose your AM radio to the blaring sound of the car’s coil discharging.

So, the phone has this number in its head which represents the SNR and that number is constantly fluctuating up and down as the airwaves around you teem with random signals, reflections, and other interference. This isn’t a particularly nice thing to show end users, so the phone does two things. Firstly, it takes that ever-changing number and does a moving average on it to smooth out those rapid spikes. Then, it applies some sort of magic formula to approximate that complicated number into a 1-to-5 scale, which it then puts on the screen as bars.

The magic formula is basically made up by the design engineers as they see fit, and it can vary from phone to phone and even between software releases on the same phone. If someone is kicking it old school and getting five bars at your house with their Motorola RAZR and you’re getting three on your Nokia 8210, that doesn’t mean their phone is better than yours. It might just mean that Motorola’s designers made their bars work differently, or it might not.

The tl;dr version of this is: the signal strength bars are almost meaningless and should not be relied on.

Incidentally, this also explains what’s going on when you have a strong signal, attempt to make a call, and can’t connect. The bars only indicate how well your phone can listen to the cell tower. They don’t tell you anything about how well the tower can receive your phone, but that’s a pretty important part of making a call. Similarly, the phone doesn’t know anything about what’s going on in the cell provider’s network past the tower; if you’re on a really busy cell it might not have any spare outgoing circuits to direct your call to, so even if the radio is working fine, you might still not be able to get through. If you’re on AT&T it’s probably all of the above at the same time of course."

My point being if RB create a 3, 4, 5 or 6 bar indicator its effort expended which could be better put elsewhere. His call, my point remains.
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
you can do it with a filemanager (root), copy the two files from R8 zip to /system/lib after making system writable and change the permissions to

owner r/w

group r

others r

than boot to recovery - wipe dalvik cache and reboot
[Desire HD Android Development] UnionBlvd:
I'm sure someone will make a flashable zip (or rb will post an update), but you can extract libgemini.so and libjpeg.so from /system/lib in the R8 zip, then connect your phone to your PC and issue the commands woti posted from a command prompt. As long as you have the correct drivers and ADB installed on your PC, plus debug mode enabled on your phone, the commands should work.
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
Ok I think I understand this I will give it a try I mean how bad can I screw it up lol
[Desire HD Android Development] +Nybras+:
Enjoyed reading your message Juicyp on the signal thing. I expect poopsmith777 feels a bit stupid now for going off on one like that. :good:
[Desire HD Android Development] playitlouder:
Fuu, forgot to make a backup :(

Can I just flash R8 over R9 or am I going to run into problems when doing that?

Thanks a lot, as always!
[Desire HD Android Development] randomblame:
oops I was in a hurry to get it pushed out last night and made a boo boo it seems

working on it
[Desire HD Android Development] Fourknucks:
I just changed the permissions on the existing libgemini.so that is already there, cleared dalvik and rebooted and it works fine now. Didnt have to copy anything from R8
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the camera didn't work because those files were deleted. So how can they be in system to fix permissions? So the only way they could be there if it was a dirty flash no?Sorry if its a dumb question but I'm new to this but would love to learn.
[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
I don't feel stupid at all actually; I'm an engineer with minors in Mathematics and Applied Sciences and understand exactly what juicyp is saying. Thanks for your valuable input, Nybras. My point still remains, it serves as an indicator for the range of measured signal strength. I'm sure there is hardly a 'magic formula' that translates a range of values to a graphic indicator. That may vary from one developer to the next depending on their arrival to a number and variables accounted for, but assuming due diligence performed (and accurate algorithms) the difference in signal should not be statistically meaningful. A lot people probably don't understand how a log scale works, but that doesn't mean that it isn't interesting to observe for those of us who can appreciate it for what it is
[Desire HD Android Development] Fourknucks:
No I did a clean install. I copied the R8 files to my SD and when I went to copy them file manager asked if I wanted to overwrite. I clicked cancel and went to the system/lib folder and they were already there so I tried the permissions and cleared dalvik and rebooted.....
[Desire HD Android Development] d4rkjed1:
To be honest, I did that and it went fine. I just need to flash R8 then inspire+mod then gapps. You should be fine! Nothing got lost or anything. Just simple reset on settings that's all.

*Don't forget to wipe dalvik cache!
[Desire HD Android Development] Fourknucks:
OK, I just checked the R9 file and they are not there, maybe I hit OK instead of cancel then. Sorry if I confused you as I am obviously a moron.
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
Looks like I can screw it up bad now my phone won't boot lol
[Desire HD Android Development] juicyp:
I'm not trying (or want to have t'internet spat) but I think you've just agreed with me accidentally. Its a measure of SNR, which is utterly meaningless as an indicator of a phones ability to send/receive data which is how most people see it as it has no relation to that in reality. It is however something that comforts the average user, much in the same was as apple have that great whirling pie chart and windows have the progress bar charts.

I really have no idea how anyone can use the indicator in any meaningful way as they have no idea how it's been calibrated and understand what the 'bars' actually equate to. Your maths is way above mine but you must agree, you have no idea what the baseline is or can be from phone to phone, ROM to ROM. As the author of that blog points out, your DROID has 3 bars, my ACE has 2 bars, what does that mean - nothing!
[Desire HD Android Development] Wekkel:
Clean install.

Libjpeg is present (rw-r-r, is that 644?)

Libgemini is not present.

Unpacked R8

got libgemini out of package

gave esf explorer full root rights and access to system files

Copied libgemini.so in /system/lib

Set permissions rw-r-r

Unfortunately, still the same camera error.

Will reboot, wipe Dalvik and try again.
[Desire HD Android Development] bengalli:
Camera worked.But camcorder not.

I can't find libgemini.so in R9 , and copied from R8. After that I changed this 2 files as writable . Reboot to recovery and run "fix permissions" and reboot.

Camera OK but camcorder FC... :(
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Yeah other roms will sometimes change it. I use 4ext recovery because it can format to either and shows which format is currently being used. Most roms use ext3.
[Desire HD Android Development] geko1966:
Okay DPLOY!!! here is the deal....the last try!

Are You running 4EXT recovery ore cwm?...well it does not mather, You go into recovery, then, then You format System, Data and cache! after that You wipe dalvik+cache, You then install the ROM+gapps, then You reboot into recovery and fix perms! After that reboot and see what happens!

Hope it helps.

:fingers-crossed:
[Desire HD Android Development] juicyp:
I have searched this thread (and forums) but haven't seen a consensus - I am on R8 and have just realised MMS won't download?

I've disabled stock messaging, examined APN settings (2 from Orange UK and seem fine), downloaded GoSMS Pro, doesn't work? Even resorted to entering the APN settings manually just in case the app can't read the system file but thats not made a difference.

Anyone have a suggestion?
[Desire HD Android Development] Wekkel:
Reboot after wiping Dalvik got my camera working now. Indeed, got the same problem with recorder.

The old trick still works:

*choose camera recorder

*immediately press home button

*wait few seconds

*start camera again

And it works :)
[Desire HD Android Development] geko1966:
FYI!!!

Great 9r ROM RB, and the System UI issue is a goner!!! i do not know if that is also the issue with others that had the same issue, but if so, You may delete the nr. 104 issue on the tracker.

Everything is smooth and dandy.....excepts the poos Your already onto fixing! I was just comparing Dir´s from 7,2, 8 and the 9, under System\lib\hw there is yet an other egl and hw dir. Under 7.2 and 8 there are there but not under 9.....anyway Your onto it so :cool:

[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
I understand how other people may think of the indicator, and I assure you I am not one of them. I haven't not agreed with some of what you've quoted. Though I would be interested in hearing your own thoughts rather than copypasta.

The point of having an indicator is not necessarily to 'use' it. It should be understood as a graphical means of a measurement providing directionally correct information (information not necessarily entirely accurate but information that gives a general idea). It doesn't matter what the baseline is from phone to phone as my baseline is my current phone and the ROM. I'm not trying to make statistical samples, I'm just observing the behavior of my setup. The hardware and current ROM build can easily be seen as controls. It's interesting to me to observe fluctuations in different circumstances (different locale, weather conditions, temperature, time of day to name a few).

I would beg to differ and say that it absolutely does mean something. The variables from one phone to the next have the potential to be so different due to manufacturing processes, materials, specs, let alone the algorithm. Then you have environmental and signal strength variables. Getting an understanding for the interaction and possible correlations between some of those variables is the fascinating portion IMHO, not relying on the displayed bars as infallible (which they obviously are not). When it comes to measurements as complex as this, it's difficult to have a one-size-fits-all but that is not to say that the data regarding displayed signal strength is irrelevant. It just means that you have to be discerning and mindful as you observe data patterns

Just want to be 110% sure that the perms are working cause call it bad luck...i have had issues in the past when wiping and installing new ROM´s that the perms have been mismatched, so i always do that little extra booting into recovery just after the flash process and fixing perms.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. The reason I used an example of someone else's (articulate) explanation was because he managed to make a relatively complex topic easily digestible. I'm not sure your recent response did the same, but answer this question: "My Signal Indicator has just dropped by one bar, what does that mean?"
