Is anyone else having issues where their phone is restarting .. And is anyone else having GPS issues ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
GPS issues just in Alpha 2 or 1 as well? The AGPS mode has changed in 2
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
GPS issues in alpha 2
[HTC Aria Android Development] Arennius:
No problem with restarting. GPS work fine, but it takes about 2 minutes to find out location.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Alpha 3 - September 1st, 2012

- Fixed derps from Alpha 2 (lights, battery stats, layering issues with videos)

CM changes:

- QuickMessage pop-up (trying to keep this text minimal, so I'll let CM explain it better with that link :))

- Variable size pattern lockscreen (up to a huge 6x6 pattern!)

- etc

I have left aGPS mode on 2, as this seems to be more common and a better choice (aGPS modes explained can be found here, and Liberty's stock ROM is on 2).

If anyone is having issues, a data wipe will probably help.

In other news, while playing around with stuff trying to fix the video layering issues, I discovered a speed boost that made the launcher(and possibly other stuff) smooth like it was in CM9 (this was probably enabled in CM9). However there were lots of layering issues everywhere.

This will most likely be used once the bugs are fixed in it (I'm guessing the outdated ICS graphics drivers), but if anyone wants to try it: make a backup (it wouldn't boot at times for me), add debug.composition.type=mdp to build.prop, and copy /system/lib/hw/hwcomposer.msm7x27.so from Alpha 2
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
i went back to stock rom with the RUU , and it restarts alot still , guess it's hardware based...... time to look for another phone !
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
Tested alpha 3, key light works with custom setting enabled , but i cannot save custom setting, once i saved it, setting will FC.

QuickMessage pop-up also FC (not much tested)

and the problem exist in all jellybean build, picture not showing up in gallery, media service keep restarting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] nonamerzz:
cant take SMS popup. In which conditions i can take it?

PS. Alpha 3 is good;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Before you give up on the phone, get a new SIM card from your carrier.

There have been several people here with the reboot problem, and a new SIM card seems to fixed it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
will do that tomorrow thank you
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
Will AT&T just give a new SIM card? Just like that?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Yes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Yea, the message popup doesn't seem to be working right now (possibly an issue with mdpi).. they'll probably fix it though

I've also read loose plans to have it popup after pressing something on the normal notification, so that will be cool.

Edit: Confirmed now

I've been able to get Google Now working slightly, and voice search works by bumming off 2 more apps. Just have to hit the search button after it puts it in.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29035520#post29035520

Replacing QuickSearchBox with the above (where it says to replace GoogleQuickSearchBox) stops it from closing, then the 2nd app there (link here since its broken on that thread) combined with the older Voice Search from the Play Store for voice searching :)

Voice input on the keyboard won't work though, and the Now app has some drawing issues.

Update: better apk with scrolling/drawing issues fixed here

Setting aGPS to mode 2 was a good choice - once it "settled in" (didn't have to wipe data), I think its much faster now :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
how about the media service problem exist in every jellybean rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
yes but i use dragon go for swype , it allows dragon go to be used for voice to text :P
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
No one else has your problem.

Try a data wipe? If not make sure you're on the bootloader included in the Froyo RUU

Formatting the SD card may help too
[HTC Aria Android Development] yar2:
I spent a lot of time working on the Aria reboot problem. A new sim solved the problem. My phone would still reboot however, when using it without a sim card. Never found a solution to that, even after HTC put a new mother board in under warranty!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Message popup crashing is a miss-named drawable on MDPI. Patch has been pushed to gerrit

Built apk can be downloaded from here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6gvebRGyJuKb3VyOWdrQmpOTlE

(with the new button on the normal notification to show the popup, and reverted change that broke vibration)

Not sure if this can be installed over the top like a normal application, or if it has to go in /system

They are working on making the popup not open the Messaging app behind it ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
hmm, I always wipe data when updating a new rom, and this problem does not exist in ICS.

Will try formating sd card later.

EDIT: ok, discovered the problem, i have 600+ picture in my camera folder and it makes the media services keep restarting, after i moved camera folder into my computer , it works fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] aster190:
I switched to an iPhone 3GS for a while because of some problems that came up, and let me tell you; it really sucks.. I wish I can get back to using my Aria soon, because I really rather have Android than iOS, even if it is jailbroken..
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
the Aria with jellybean is by far faster than a 3gs lol

and thank you for telling me to replace my sim card , i had a few lying around (brand new ones) and it (seems) to not be restarting anymore

/cross fingers , and thank you if it works throughout today
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
anyone elses phone just keep constantly searching for gps ?

tried wiping all the doo-da , got back after the restarting issue , and this bug still persists on this rom alpha 2 and 3
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
I don't have issues with GPS, for me it's working just fine. Do you use Google Maps? I'm using Navfree World.
[HTC Aria Android Development] munjeni:
Maybe this https://github.com/t0mm13b/ics4blade/commit/4841267c9fc4f6d4ef54d0ed01c78425c91e0512 can help for getting hardware decoding? Just for idea we never built libopencorehw from msm7k folder;) !!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
We probably haven't tried it because opencorehw doesn't exist in the original msm7k repo.. seems like they added it. msm7k is mostly legacy stuff that doesn't work now too

They're also getting the same error(s).. could be a start to something though

The OMX stuff in Android has been updated, and our old drivers are now missing things

I'm wondering if some kind of wrapper can be made like what we use for the camera..
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
Fixed the GPS , fixed voice search , got Google now working , not one restart since I put a new SIM card in , got voice texting by using Swype and Dragon go also by them , trackball wake , s2e works .... got my tweaks in finally
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
google now works completely? with voice recognition? how? :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Not completely, more of a hack...

[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
Winsuk, did you include working Google Now in next build? :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
well there is a scrolling of the cards issue i can't get rid of , so it's not entirely working

the search bar is like cut out of the cards section , and when you scroll with your finger , the cards are not attached to the search bar , and only the search bar scrolls up..... and thats the only thing it does for me , you can interact with the cards , but i always have to swipe away the top one to get to the next one.... anyone got a fix for it , let me know
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Nope, that's a proprietary app from Google, and isn't allowed to be packaged with the ROM (CM got a notice from Google a few years ago, back when they packaged Google Apps in with ROMs)

This is half the reason why Google Apps have to be flashed separate (the other half to make it optional). Manufacturers who package them in the stock ROM have a licence to do so from Google

That's what I meant by "the Now app has some drawing issues" :p

It's a problem with the modded apk.. I've found another with this problem fixed from the gapps package linked here (not sure where he got it from though, or if he modded it)

Extracted apk download: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6gvebRGyJuKRTQ3U3ZxV2k2aEE
[HTC Aria Android Development] yar2:
Google Search

First Winsuk let me thank you for all your hard work in keeping this little phone alive. Its really amazing that we have JB while most of the high end new phones do not.

My experience with the latest September version is that it work great. Only minor issues have to do with the capacitive button back lights that you mention and that Google Search doesn't doesn't load, ether with the Google Search bar or with the search button. I searched the forum but couldn't find any reference to this. I flashed the small Google apps zip file that you recommended. I also looked for the Google Search app on the Playstore thinking there may be a new version, but none were listed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
Google search works with winsuk's above post
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
There is a bug in your ROM making it unusable (at least for me). Everytime I want to start mobile internet, the system goes laggy until it crashes to the boot animation. I really need mobile internet (for example while on the bus), so this is preventing me from running your ROM as a daily. Maybe a clean install could help? Or should I change my SIM Card, as others did to solve the reboot problem? I don't know, because I am from Germany using the congstar network (it is part of t-mobile). Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
I haven't any problems with mobile network, 2G&3G work perfectly. I think you need a clean install with all wipes :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Ok, I'll try this later, when I've got some time left...
[HTC Aria Android Development] yar2:
Still can't get get Google Search to work. I get a blank screen, after waiting I then hit the back key and then get an error message - Google Search not loading.

I flashed the Gapps in winsuk's last post over the Gapps that were already flashed. Should I start over and re-flash the ROM and gapps after a data reset?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Format system partition (which will eliminate any old gapps), wipe both caches, then flash ROM and gapps. Won't require a data wipe if you do that. However if that isn't enough to solve your problem, then the next thing I'd try is wiping data as well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Yea, try a data wipe. If its still not working, send me a logcat:

Terminal Emulator:

su
logcat -c
logcat > /storage/sdcard0/logcat.txt

That will make it constantly sit there and capture it, so then you can hit the home button and do whatever to make it crash

I didn't flash the other gapps package, I just extracted QuickSearchBox.apk out of it, and pushed it to the phone..

If the package is to big (blade ROMs resize the system partition because the base ROM can't even fit), whatever was being installed when it ran out of space will be incomplete and corrupt, and anything it tries to install after won't be there (as far as I know)

I haven't checked the size of their package, but if its even 1MB bigger, it won't fit with default partition sizes (free space on /system is 756KB with the ROM and the small gapps package I put together)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
you need to make sure the permissions are set by you , because they always change when replacing the apk... you have to make it

rw , r , r....... and nothing else

then it will work , and use root explorer
[HTC Aria Android Development] yar2:
What do you mean by "push" the extracted QuickSearcBox.apk to the phone? I tried to install it and it would not install. Using a root explorer I replaced the system app with the extracted version and reset the permissions and it still didn't work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Push as in adb push from a PC ;)

What did you set the permissions to?

Just to make sure, you can run:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk

from Terminal Emulator

(I love doing these code boxes of terminal commands for some reason :D)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
well , when you say you replaced it , you can't do that

you don't have enough space to just "replace it"

you have to remove the apk , and i had to restart to make it to 5mb's to have the space to put the new apk in

then once you place the new apk in system/app , you have to fix the permissions and restart again
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
Hi winsuk.

just a simple request, can you include ro.secure=0 in your next build?
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
Also can you compile CWM 6 for liberty?
[HTC Aria Android Development] yar2:
QuickSearchBox.apk

I had set permissions to -- rw , r , r.-- as described in a post above. Programming is not really my thing, so I took another approach. I re flashed the JB ROM, opened the small GAPPS zip file to remove QuickSearchBox.apk, flashed the revised small GAPPS and then installed the QuickSearchBox.apk you had extracted. It worked! The voice search didn't work however -- it loads then goes right to "I didn't hear you try again" type of message -- so I loaded Google Voice Search from the market, which works fine. I also deleted all of the ringtones files to be sure there was enough system memory.I use a ringtone on the SD.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
Only the old voice search works , voice to text works with Swype add-on Dragon go
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Why?..

I can't compile it with the new kernel, because it won't fit on the recovery partition.

Compiling it with the old kernel will probably work, and I've already had one built with Recovery Builder

Also tried a touch recovery, which worked, but the buttons were sized for a larger dpi screen, and thus cut off and unreadable.

Once I get my PC able to build Android again (had to wipe Ubuntu which was very broken, and switched to Fedora while I was at it), I'll see if I can build them, and open a new thread if successful

If anyone wants the one made with Recovery Builder: http://goo.gl/rvD8v

Off-mode charging doesn't work, and the touch buttons under the screen aren't set up. Power button is used to go back.

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from a PC, or "flash_image recovery recovery.img" from Terminal Emulator

If you install this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770100

Then with the old Voice Search from the Play store installed, long press the [hardware] search button and pick Voice Seach for Google (with the blue microphone icon). It will popup the old Voice Search to capture, then sends it off to Google Now, and you have to tap the search button.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
Every time I adb, I have to type a long command to remount instead of adb remount, any disadvantage including ro.secure=0 in your build?
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
It's less secure? Revolutionary is already a big hole by not being re-lockable

Put a script in /system/bin if you need to (and another in addons.d to keep it there through a ROM flash), then just adb shell > su > remountsys (or whatever the script name is)
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:

A4 installed. Thank u, WinSuk)

p.s. u can move cursor in text fields by trackball and its very useful!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
I know :) a lot of phones don't have one (even the marvel/Wildfire S, that we share a kernel and other stuff with), and its pretty difficult to use the little arrow on-screen.

It has been added by CM for all devices ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
Wow! Installing right now! I can't wait to see how far this ROM goes!! Keep going WinSuk!!

EDIT:

Okay, so I followed the instructions for installing the Working version of Google Now. So when I open the Blue Google Now, and search something by talking (it uses the OLD voice search) it takes me to google now and searches fine (kind of glitchy). but if im IN google now, and press the microphone, it won't let me talk to it :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] nonamerzz:
im use 4.0.4 GSearch and Voice Search from the market on this rom. Google Now is not useful in my region right now
[HTC Aria Android Development] ilive12:
Alpha4 works beautifully on my aria. Can't believe it works that well on an armv6 device. Nice job WinSuk :3
[HTC Aria Android Development] nonamerzz:
Camera artifacts I can fix by this manipulations:

1. Go to lockscreen settings

2. Lockscreen shortcuts

3. Edit camera shortcut to: actions-gallery-com.android.CameraLauncher
[HTC Aria Android Development] Arennius:
Very useful advice, thanks mate!
[HTC Aria Android Development] aepun:
I read that camera is in the gallery, but I cannot found it indeed and I also cannot found in everywhere on this ROM. (T^T)

How can I get camera to work on this ROM ? Please help me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] aepun:
Now I can find and use the camera normally, thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vici0us:
Jelly bean on our Aria/Liberty! Wow this is amazing!

Keep it up Winsuk.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I'm amazed at how well Alpha4 is running on our beloved Aria. I can easily work around the current search and video limitations, as what I need for a daily driver is performing almost flawlessly. BT functionality is better than ever and more reliable than I've had on CM7.

:good:

Keep up the good work WinSuk
[HTC Aria Android Development] mustafu:
I agree with the above. I just picked up an Aria after selling a Moto Flipside, this phone's an amazing little performer, which I'm sure will be even better with this ROM. Thanks WinSuk!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
wish winsuk had more help tho

would love some hardware decoding , but it's just probably never going to happen
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
I thought muneji got a new phone and then came back to the aria? Looks like he's gone again
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

Hi all, I'm enjoying CM10 on my SGS2 and I was wondering if there was a working ROM dev'd by Winsuk for my old Aria and sure enough there is! And it's just amazingly fast. Oh man, I'd never believe it can run so smooth.

EDIT: Ok, I had to return to my previous 2.2 backup, too little space left and my sis demands more apps installed. Still, kudos Winsuk!
[HTC Aria Android Development] DjRashonal:
The OP says that

"Data usage doesn't work"

I'm using my aria in airplane mode, on wifi, just tooling around with it. I'm assuming that the "data" in that sentence is referring to AT&T data, not wifi, correct?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
He means that the part of Android (ICS and newer) that keeps track of how much data you have used doesn't work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DjRashonal:
oh, awesome! thanks, DL'ing now!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Hmm, that is a bit miss-leading... changed it to "data usage meter" :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
you can esily get as many apps as you want installed by using winsuk's S2E and making a partition on a sd card ......... it's awesome
[HTC Aria Android Development] lokodoe:
Winsuk's S2E? I think I've missed it then. The current S2E I've been using only works for cm7 and cm9. Any links for S2E cm10?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cryptecks:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30131906&postcount=27

Using it as well, works beautifully. Make sure you know how s2e works before just jumping in, WinSuk's is built directly from source (about 4 months ago, off the top of my head)
[HTC Aria Android Development] lokodoe:
thanks for the link! So, if I've already installed the other type of S2E in the cm9, so to flash cm10, I also have to install the S2E that WinSuk has made?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
wow. been on 2.3.7 forever on my little aria and i finally installed this. this ROM is stable and buttery smooth. thanks so much for all your work winsuk, and anybody else that help make this happen. by any chance does anybody body know how to turn off animation? such as screen on and off?
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Since the display settings for it haven't been merged, the only way I know of disabling it is to modify the framework-res.apk... <bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool> is the one to remove :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cryptecks:
Is anyone else having issues with Netflix not working? I get a black screen for a second or two then straight back to the home screen..
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
As far as I know Netflix requires hardware video decoding (which we don't have). And even if it didn't, I don't think it would play fast enough with software decoding to be watchable
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cryptecks:
That sounds about right haha, thanks for the answer. I know that it was working in cm9 so I was hoping for the best but if it's using h/w decoding I understand.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Really? CM9 doesn't have hardware decoding either..

I don't have Netflix so I can't debug it myself
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
I have a problem with Google Play Store, which won't start in Alpha 4. Is it a problem with my sd-ext and / or data partition and should I wipe those or can be solved without wiping those? I did the following prior to installing the ROM: I formatted system. wiped cache and dalvik cache. Afetr installing the ROM I rebooted and flashed the small gapps provided in this thread. I also tried a different install with the big gapps package (I modified my bootloader through munjeni's hboot_cus tool to enlarge my system partition). What should I do now?

By the way: I got no reboots anymore by mobile internet, resolved by wiping data!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Nevermind! Reflashing the big gapps package resolved the problem... but only for a short time...
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
As a conclusion: With all apps moved to sd-ext with S2E, a complete factory reset is necessary. Hope this helps someone...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Syavick:
dansou901: I knew it 2 weeks ago. :)))
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Adding "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" to build.prop will fix the status bar notification animation glitch :)

(doesn't help on the camera though)
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
Thanks WinSuk, it works fine :)

you work over new ROM? how soon to us for it to wait?

make us happy! :)
