Sorry to bring this back up Winsuk. I just updated to alpha5 today, and I'm running into the same behavior described above. Trackball wake was working fine for me on alpha4. I am running hboot 1002, I'm s-off, and have root enabled in dev options. I did, however, install with only a cache and dalvik wipe over alpha4.

Lack of trackball wake certainly isn't going to keep me from using alpha5 - just wanted to let you know this seemingly uncommon issue is still there. I'd be happy to try any workarounds you could suggest as well.

Thanks again for keeping development alive on this device!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Revolutionary requires 2.2 Froyo to work, so if you were on 2.1 it wouldn't work. And Revolutionary has only been available since June 13th 2011 (with an open beta under the name AlpharevX)

A quick way to tell: boot into the bootloader (voldown while turning on), and if it's Revolutionary it will say so in pink at the top, with the next line showing S-OFF at the end

Trackball wake still works fine for me.. I can change the script and see if that helps
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
I always install new ROM with all of wipes (data, cache, dalvik, format /system) and I haven't any problems. Try reinstall like me :)

@WinSuk

Did you try to compile 4.2 android? Can we wait newest android version on our old device? :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Compile with what sources?
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
oh sorry, I think together with release 4.2 source codes were laid out in a network :D

I looking forward...
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I was afraid I was gonna get that advice [NOOBWHINE] I was hoping not to have to full wipe and set everything up again [/NOOBWHINE] but I should know better by now. I'll do the full housecleaning tonight if I can get the time, and report back on results. I'm actually probably gonna be back on the Aria as my daily driver phone for a bit, as the microUSB port is toast on my SGS2 (again), and it's now out of warranty...gotta order a new one and do some surgery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
I don't know if it is alpha 5 problem, but I can't browse the internet with low wifi signal (no line, or 1 line), it just keep loading.

winsuk, did you modified anything about wifi?
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Any luck with the data usage meter? It works in your CM9, right?

Also, I thought maybe the homescreen smooshing thing was due to the action buttons being bigger, but they're the same size in CM9 and it doesn't happen there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Not only in this ROM, but also in the previous ROMs I tested (like your CM9 and munjenis CM9) I have got the problem that the phone reboots randomly without warning, sometimes even during a call. Could it be related to the SIM Card as well like in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650934

The only difference is that I don't have AT&T as I am in Germany; my carrier is congstar which is part of T-Mobile. What do you think about this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] sapjunior:
For trackballwake issue try to delete some files in ROM area (I deleted /system/app/NoiseField.apk) to make some free space to make script work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
AOSP 4.2 source released , but i guess winsuk will wait for cyanogenmod source.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
The hardware decoder & encoder are working on Jelly Bean :)

So the camcorder now records video, but the output is still bad like on ICS
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
so wonderful news! When you release it? can't wait!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
How about right now? :p

Alpha 6 - November 15th, 2012

- Fixed possible data connection issues

- Working hardware video decoding (huge thanks to Ganster41!)

- Camcorder now records video, but the output is still bad like on ICS (a separate camcorder app might work)

CM changes:

- CircleBattery: Revamped charging animation

- LockScreen: long-press actions from hardware keys

- Mms auto-retrieval (with data off)

- New CM file manager

- PowerMenu: Expanded desktop

- Lots of small things (like making the keyboard automatically open on quick reply)

- etc

This is probably more like a beta now, but I don't feel like changing it (and I'm just going to leave them off and call it "Release #" for CM10.1 if I get it working)
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
WinSuk, you are amazing! I'm flash it right now!
[HTC Aria Android Development] visceralpsyche:
Working very smoothly :) Feels much better than Alpha 5, no doubt due to hardware acceleration now working properly. Thanks so much for continuing to support this great little phone! Can't wait for 4.2 to drop.... :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
+1! And trackball wake is back to working for me on A6!
[HTC Aria Android Development] xam247:
Anyone else having issues flashing Alpha 6? I've tried a dozen times and never get to the boot animation. I see the htc logo and it boot-loops there.

I have tried wiping the full system & caches multiple times, installing directly from recovery as well as from RomManager, and installing with and without the JB slimmed down Google Apps package. Open to ideas.

Thanks for the great work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Did you check the md5sum? Did you try to redownload?
[HTC Aria Android Development] xam247:
Thanks for the suggestion. I redownloaded and again tried multiple instal methods (via ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1) directly with and without GApps, as well as via Rom Manager. Currently running alpha 4, S-On. - could that be the issue?

Other ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] aster190:
Maybe it's due to your phone being S-ON instead of S-OFF?

It also could be because you're using an earlier version of CWM Recovery. WinSuk said in his ICS thread that it's better if you use CWM 5.X. I don't know if that applies to JellyBean also, but it could be the solution to the problem you're having.
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
I thought of a workaround for the keyboard voice input, but I don't know how to implement it. The keyboard tries to use the internal voice search and fails, similar to what the quicksearchbar does. The voice search workaround for quicksearchbar and google now could work on a customized LatinIME, could it not?

Also, there seems to be too much space left over when removing the persistent search bar. Widgets aren't taking back all the extra space.

EDIT: I can't get the workaround to function with the search bar or the widget, so I guess it wouldn't work with the keyboard
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Ah, I overread that you are S-On. You need to be S-Off for JB and ICS. Update your firmware to Froyo (Hboot 1.02) and use revolutionary to gain S-Off.
[HTC Aria Android Development] molecula364:
I think you need to get up your version of CWM to 5.0.2.8 and get S-OFF.
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Here's CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8
[HTC Aria Android Development] xam247:
Thanks for this. I haven't found a thread on how to update CWM on the Aria. Can I use the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639673
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
Yes, you can. But I would say that it is easier flashing with fastboot usb mode from your PC. Then you would have to use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" on the command line. For this, you have to have the android sdk platform tools installed, which include fastboot and adb. And you need to place the recovery.img in the same folder next to the fastboot binary. If you're working on Windows, you need the fastboot drivers as well, they are here somewhere. Under Linux you don't need any drivers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cannothas:
I have an old Aria and am thinking hard about putting this on it. Currently reading up on what I need to do, but I am very familiar with s-on because of my vivid (won't be getting any more HTC devices...) and have flashed many a custom boot.img kernel using fastboot. Is there any other reason to s-off?

Back in the day I went from stock 2.1 to cm6 and then cm7. Do I need to revert to stock 2.2? Because right now my aria will flash any .zip I want it to... And I hadn't heard of s-offing aria until today - almost 2 years later I think...
[HTC Aria Android Development] visceralpsyche:
With Android 4.2 introducing user accounts (even if it's only active in the tablets right now), some of the folder structure has changed.

Koush just released an updated version of ClockworkMod 6.0.1.5 which takes this into account and preps the folders properly, so future ROM flashes don't cause recursive /0 folders.

Assuming that we continue to get updates to our little Aria into Android 4.2 (via CyanogenMod 10.1), is it possible for a CWM 6.0.1.5 Zip file to be made so we are ready for when it happens?

Cheers!
[HTC Aria Android Development] aster190:
You can try flashing it first if you want. But you might end up having the same problem as Xam247.

I never learned exactly what was the point of S-OFF, but I'm guessing it's so you can have much more success in flashing roms. Which would make sense since that's exactly what's happening with Xam.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Probably not - there isn't enough space on the recovery partition for anything newer than v6.0.0.0 (and that's with the old kernel, which is smaller)

It might be able to fit if all the images and anything else that isn't needed gets taken out..

As a last resort, everyone has to resize their partitions (not very user-friendly, plus there's a chance of bricking)

How exactly has it changed? From what I've found, it seems like it only happens on devices with virtual sd cards

Edit: Never mind, it's small enough to fit
[HTC Aria Android Development] spkvvs:
i`m install lgCamera there a lot of options for record video

so here goes:

video 640x480 15 fps video codec h.263 with sound

changed fps and codec wrote: Record video failed

but when change different resolution for video, watched as the image in a standard camera.

though the video does not write: Record video failed

may, for the standard camera is not the correct resolution specified?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cannothas:
Is this because we "don't want" to be flashing in fastboot, or because we need the newer hboot?

I'm sorry if this has been answered, I just pulled my Aria out of the drawer a few days ago and jumped in at the end here. As I posted previously, I'm not new to flashing in fastboot - I have a vivid and for the longest time that was our only option. But if I need the updated hboot then I suppose I'll get the update first :)

Thanks - I'll get reading.

##EDIT##

To my shame, the 3rd line on the OP: "Hboot 1.02 or higher is required!" Sorry...

EDIT2:

Downloaded HTC 2.2 update, installed, then revolutionized (like the part about giving the lemons back :), hboot version 6.something. Allowed revolutionary to install their version of CWM: fail. Fastboot flashed the 5.0.2.8 version from a few pages back, perfect! Downloading CM10 atm, post back with results in a bit.

EDIT3: Downloaded and flashed, but it stays on the boot animation for a VERY long time. Pulled battery once, does the same the second time. I will wipe all caches (I think I forgot to) and post back...

Final Edit:

Ok, all better!! Very nice work, I'm very impressed with the responsiveness!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
When I make or receive a call, the screen immediately turns off and becomes unresponsive along with all buttons until the other person hangs up. It doesn't happen every time, but when it does it happens right after hitting call (or answering the call), preventing me from turning on speakerphone as is often necessary.

Happen to anyone else?

EDIT: It's the proximity sensor.

[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
If you're talking about the one I put in the gapps package, the only thing changed is it targets ICS instead of Jelly Bean, which somehow disables constant voice input (so it opens).
[HTC Aria Android Development] visceralpsyche:
I just noticed a small visual bug.

Using EDGE (I am on T-Mobile so no 3G) I noticed that the signal strength icon shifts left one or two pixels when it's got an active upload/download going (the up/down arrows showing).

Can anyone else verify this?

Cheers!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dust906:
seems to be a problem with your trackball wake script , or it doesn't work anymore

EDIT : works after doing this for the 1st thing you do after flashing

Extracting Alpha6 Zip

Is anyone having issues extracting the Alpha6 zip file?

I'm extracting into an empty directory and getting a slew of messages that the files already exist in system\etc\terminfo\......

With most of these "file exists" conflicts the files are the same date and size but one is "system\etc\terminfo\e\eterm" where the existing file is 2247 bytes and the new file 842 bytes.

I've downloaded the Alpha6 zip file twice and the MD5 checks OK.

Alpha4 is the last version I flashed and I didn't see this issue with it or any previous CM (6, 7, 9, 10) versions.

Sorry if this was covered somewhere, I looked but didn't see anything.

Thanks

Edit: Well after several years of messing with with CM builds using 2 Win7 systems, it seems that Linux (case sensitive) file naming conventions caused my problem with Alpha6.

In the above example I listed one of the duplicates as being "system\etc\terminfo\e\eterm".

The folder "system\etc\terminfo\e\" contains 2 files named "eterm" and "Eterm".

These "duplicate" files are in the "system\etc\terminfo" folder which apparently didn't exist in Alpha4 and earlier.

It looks like I'll have to move the future builds to my one Linux Mint machine.

just question guys

how to add the Navigation bar (nav bar) on this rom ??

[HTC Aria Android Development] munjeni:
You can adjust partition sizes using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739477 so you can include custom hboot with everything needed for fiting these needed partition sizes... just for idea, allso data partition (making small modifications to ramdisk) can be used from sdcard instead of using partition from nand...etc

That's going to kill your screen space, but if you really want to: add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop

Is there a way to get the CM7 kernel working on the Aria? I flashed via Recovery but phone won't boot (stuck at HBOOT screen).
[HTC Aria Android Development] aster190:
I agree!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
I have a question for everyone...

Camera glitches can be fixed by switching to LegacyCamera, but it doesn't have extra features (like Timer mode, Burst mode, etc), and panorama doesn't work (might be able to fix later, but for now it doesn't work).

So, which would you prefer? how it is now? or no glitching but less features?

I don't use the camera much so it doesn't really matter to me

Also, video recording is working with an updated camera HAL :) (and the data usage meter, as discovered above)
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Legacy Camera for sure, if I need more features I'll grab a camera from the shop.
[HTC Aria Android Development] visceralpsyche:
For me Legacy Camera makes more sense on this phone. The CPU is going to struggle with burst mode, panoramas etc, so a simple camera that works is fine. It's not like it's a fantastic camera anyway compared to modern smartphones. Cheers!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dansou901:
No glitches and less features are OK for me too. I don't use the extra features anyway
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I also agree with the consensus...my vote is for legacy camera.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
OK :) Next release will include LegacyCamera to fix glitches (and panorama may or may not work)
[HTC Aria Android Development] eoghan2t7:
WinSuk are your kernels board files different from the files on git.cryptomilk.org?
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Nope, everything in the kernel is the same
[HTC Aria Android Development] eoghan2t7:
ok then its odd that a user is having trouble with wifi activation. would you have any thoughts on it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
I've been flashing lots of roms. Fixing permissions took a few minutes, but it worked. Fixing permissions now takes only a few seconds.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eoghan2t7:
you mean the kernel worked on your phone along with wifi?
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
does swiping in the camera works in LegacyCamera?
[HTC Aria Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Yup, Wifi turned on after fixing permissions
[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
bcm4329.ko needs to be built with the kernel so they match. Is it included in your package?

I forgot to check.. I will next build (it's currently running the normal camera)

Edit: No, it doesn't work
[HTC Aria Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Yeah I always include the wifi module on my kernels so ill look into it more maybe I need to set permissions to something in the updater script.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zhuoyang:
:( I like to snap and swipe at camera, is it possible to include an apk of original camera?

anyway, i found a quick fix for camera glitch

1. open camera app

2. if it glitch, turn off (not power off) your phone by pressing power button, and then turn on again and swipe to the left at the lockscreen ( camera lock screen shortcut)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cannothas:
On the newest that was recently released (a6?) and the phone randomly reboots. I don't know if it was doing so last time I installed as I ended up needing to use the phone and went back to cm7 official. But now back on this cm10, and it has rebooted 4 times today while doing nothing - no sim installed ATM. Gapps flashed at the same time - just after - the rom.

On install I wiped cache, dalvik and data/factory reset before flashing.

Any thoughts? And thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] aster190:
It's probably 'cause you don't have a sim card installed. You can check yar2's thread in the Q&A forum. He found a solution for it. I believe it was because of certain sim cards that weren't compatible with the Aria's radio, and it would cause the phone to reboot even after the sim card was taken out.

[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
Thank you for the ROM.

Bugs

!!! Hitting the power button to turn the screen back on while Navigation is running sometimes reboots the device.

Navigation TTS no longer says street names. This might be an ICS problem, as it happened with the MIUI ROM as well. I switched to Pico TTS instead of the Google default, and we'll see if it fixes the issue. Cf., e.g., http://is.gd/cagyKg.

Twice, I've had GPS place me in Nevada instead of Madison, both times in the exact same location. This might be an ICS problem, but did not happen in other ICS ROM's (e.g. MIUI). Both times, the issue fixed itself by waiting. Resetting AGPS data did not do anything. First time it happened while traveling; the second time after draining the battery completely and charging back to full.

Thoughts

Very fast.

Seriously though, very very fast and smooth. Much better than CM7, the last official Aria release.

Battery drains quicker than before. I imagine this is b/c ICS requires more processing power than previous versions?

Perhaps related to the above point, the battery takes much longer to charge than on CM7.

[HTC Aria Android Development] WinSuk:
Did switching to Pico fix it? I know on Jelly Bean Google TTS does not work, so I took it out of the gapps package... I think it exists in the ICS gapps too, and probably doesn't work..

Since a full gapps package from goo.im fits with ICS, I'll just leave it.. (but probably add something to the thread)

Planning to release at least one more CM9 ROM with video recording working :)

CM10 has pretty much surpassed it now though
