There is a reason they said dont ask for updates. Because it is for JB, so if u wan it badly then install a JB rom.

1. so is there hacked updated version of this app for ICS?

Official there is non, so those dev created a mod for it. You wan it to be updated? donate a huge sum(enough for a new flagship) to them first then request.

2. Also is there a way to change in build prop so market thinks we are using JB instead of ICS.

U too lazy to search? so am i :)

And it think it is more than just tricking the apk to think the phone is jb, i think it has got to do more with the different framework between ics and jb.

Not really rom related, suggest continue your queries at an appropriate topic.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
I am very interested in this ROM, especially since development can continue due to the donated Desire S (btw, awesome!).

I am currently on HBOOT 6.98.1002 (revolutionary) S-OFF.

So, my first endeavour will be updating HBOOT to a version supporting the system lib partition on eMMC.

I think my best option is HBOOT 2.00.2002, right?

If so, I'm planning to follow this guide to get me to 2.00.2002 S-OFF:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18122984&postcount=237

Good plan, right? If so I'll return to this ROM (RC2 / final probably) when my HBOOT is updated :)
[HTC Desire S] rohitbaba:
thanks for all the info, as you seems to be responding to all my post, can you confirm what is the battery life like on this ROM for you as mine is dropping like fly. in 2 hours just making 1 call and sending couple of watsapp and i am 30% down.

thanks

Dev
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
i am not on this rom. I suggest better battery stats(paid on market, free on xda, search it, not gonna hold ur hand and lead u to it)

Using BBS try to find 1. what is eating your battery 2. what is preventing your phone from deep sleep if any.

Testing life for battery requires 1. full charge circle(at least 2) 2. minimize downloading any app(watsapp is fine) to isolate battery eating app.

3. 3g is a eater on any rom

There are more info, search, search and search. All that i know is by spending time to read(google/xda) and experimenting(rom/kernel) myself.

But this rom has no battery issue, it would not reach rc1 if it did.
[HTC Desire S] rohitbaba:
ok cool, i will test it out.

thanks for every thing.

something really bad happened today at work ,, i was sending a apk file to my friend with es file manager via bluetooth ,, and screen goes black and constant bootloop,, wiped dalvik/cache , still bootloop ,,had to full wipe ,, :( lost all my apps :( and settings

cant provide a logcat bcoz usb not working
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
hmm, I use root explorer rather than es file manager and in the past have sent several apks via bluetooth without a single issue, and as far as I am aware no one has ever reported anything similar.

with the google now, the modded version was never updated to latest version as there were so many changes from previous versions of google now that apparently it would have meant making the mod from scratch which the original developers never wanted to do. I may at a future date look at it, but its not something I would even consider just yet.

As for battery life, 30% lost in 2 hours is extreme and definitely not caused by the rom, I have tested it quite well with regards to battery life and can tell you that it stacks up pretty well when compared to others. I suspect that something was constantly keeping the device awake and not allowing it to sleep with that kind of battery life. As has been said Better Battery Stats id the ideal tool to find the culprit. Unfortunately the free version available here on xda just wont run correctly with the rom so you would need to get it from the play store.

This is something that I have spoken to the dev about and he is as surprised as myself that the free version wont run correctly as the only real difference between the paid and the nonpaid versions are the package name. I was going to work with the apps dev to correct this when my Desire S became my dogs dinner, I will be picking this back up with him once I have a new handset.

On the subject of getting a new handset I would like to thank Stevak and Tirofog for there generous donations towards the Desire S fund, thanks to users support I am slowly building up the funds needed.
[HTC Desire S] rohitbaba:
Hi All

been to few threads and unable to find anything such supersmooth rosie so that my laucher can be scrolled smoothy.

My launcher is very laggy can anyone help with supersmooth roise for this launcher. I have found some but they are not for this build.

Also my battery was at 40% and i had to do reboot and when phone came back on in about 2 minutes it was connected to charging cable and the battery was at 100% so did 1 more reboot to confirm the battery % but with out charing cable and it now stuck at 100% anyone else had this.

thanks

Dev
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
hmm sounds like you may ahve a bad flash or something you have restored is not playing nice. Can I ask that you try doing a completely clean install without restoring any data and see how it runs for a bit and then try restoring things one at a time checking for any issues before moving on to the next.

May seen a bit long winded but you shouldn't have any issues with the launcher being laggy even without overclocking anything and there certainly shouldnt be any issues related to the battery. However, because there are a number of differences between this base and other sense 4 roms on the desire s thread I have found that sometimes restoring data can throw up some issues which is worth eliminating first.

@testers. the ota is being a bit of a pig to set up atm (I am using my other halfs sensation just to test the back end of this feature and I cant get it to send to her device atm) so when I feel I have a handle on this I will first send you guys out an update with just the ota update, before I send the rebased version, just so I can be sure that I have this down first (plus can give it a final test by sending the base update via ota to you.)
[HTC Desire S] 1st_paladin:
Apologies for the n00b question. This ROM will NOT work with HBoot : 6.98.1002 (Revolutionary)?

Ok thanks. Will it work with the latest version? i.e. RC 1?

AW: [ROM][22 Dec 12]Desire XS RC 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4] 100% Working cam

Yes, it will work with RC 1
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah the services.jar is fully patched ready for supercharging, I just don't include the scripts by default so that people can choose if they want to use it or not, this has been available since beta 2.

Desire XS RC1 will work with any hboot, however you will need to be on one of the newer hboots to use the latest test version and for all future versions that are released to the lib partion being made use of to allow the rom to be odexed.

I'm going to spend a couple more days trying to get the back end sorted on the ota and if I don't have any success at that point then I will put that side of things on hold and get everything else sorted and out to tester for version 1 so that we continue moving forward with the rom, and I will then resume work on the opta feature when version 1 is live, othewise I think it will just take too long for the next update to arrive.

My thanks to finistere, for his generous donation last night to the the Desire S fund, I have now recieved £30 (about $47 U.S.) from members in just the few days scince my phone was eaten (that sounds so bizarre to write :eek:) this is far beyond anything I could ever have expected or hoped. I have been touched by the amazing generosity shown by the people here towards someone, that really, they don't even know other than by my posts here, and I would like to thank you all deeply for all the support shown, both in donations and in the encouragement given by so many towards this rom.

thanks to the donations received and what I have already been able to put aside myself, I am now over half way towards being able to replace my faithful Desire S, (I have been checking ebay where, as an average, they seem to be selling for between £80 - £100,) and will hopefully be able to call myself a desire s user again very soon.:victory:
[HTC Desire S] razi914:

Just asking,, can we also have non-odexed desire xs V1 ?
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
Why? Deodexed RC1 work very fine.

Reodex will increase refinement and increase operating time of battery.

Thantos,,, can u improve the camera quality ? I compared pictures taken with this rom and sabsa prime ,, and pics quality were not so good with desire Xs,,
[HTC Desire S] nuts77:
Strange... I've been using Sabsa prime for a couple of months, switched to Desire XS since a few weeks and I have the exact opposite experience. Picture quality seems better on my phone since I switched to XS. Maybe settings or hardware differ bit... Or maybe this is pure subjectivity! :)
[HTC Desire S] twist3rtm:
Another bug but I'm not sure it's really a bug, more than an unwanted feature imported from Desire X.

Notification LED is working only for 5 minutes. For me it's really annoying because I was used to see the notification LED working even after few hours. I don't always keep my phone next to me and that notification LED it's very useful for me. Now I always have to check if I have some missed notifications.
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
yes,, i agree .. camera quality is average
[HTC Desire S] I_M_Ken:
hi, I got an issue with the Bluetooth. when I use my Bluetooth to make or receive calls, more often than not I can't hear the other person talking and neither can they hear me. my Bluetooth was working fine when I was on another Rom.

is this a known issue? or is it potentially a radio problem as I'm using something different than what you stated.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
At the moment the led notification time is just default whereas I believe that a lot of devs alter this to increase the time that it is displayed for. I will look at adjusting this at a later date.

I tested bluetooth with my comp and could hear and be heard by the person calling no problem. It could perhaps be a radio issue as the only time I am aware of bluetooth issue concerned specific bluetooth setups for just a couple of users, which I'm hoping is fixed in the latest version.

With regards to the photo quality, I always thought they were fine myself, but I am happy to look at improving the quality after I get the next test version out.

My thanks go out to Francesco and Henf for there donation towards the Desire S fund, this makes a grand total of £44 ($67 US), added to what I have been able to put aside myself means that I only need around £20 to be able to afford a new handset from ebay. (I've had alook through my local stores and even second hand they cost more than ebay. Too damn expensive in this country these days.) I am amazed by this as I thought it would take me a couple of months before I could even think of affording a replacement. I plan to message/ email all those who have been kind enough to donate so that I may thank them personally over the weekend.

R: [ROM][22 Dec 12]Desire XS RC 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4] 100% Working cam

I think 5 minutes is the standard on any sense rom...

I'm using BT each day with no problem ! (I'm on lastest radio)
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
I am one of that couple ;)

Lately I am getting problems, usually at the 3th or 4th call using handsfree car kit (Audi A5 2012).

I suspect it might be a rogue setting since I now recall having allowed backup with my Google account (which means it might bring some settings BACK, even after a wipe).

I made a stone of my heart and just did a clean install, full wipe, cache clean, Dalvik clean, factory reset to be sure ... the works.

Will see tomorrow if the issues has been resolved doing this.
[HTC Desire S] twist3rtm:
On the original Sense for HTC Desire S the time is unlimited. I was used with this since I used only the original ROM for at least one year and a half.

Perhaps what you are saying is valid for newer Sense version that the one used on original HTC Desire S rom.

And anyway, I don't get why only 5 minutes ?! It's OK for those who keep their phone next to them 24/24 but not everybody loves their phones like that :)

thanks for the fast response thantos. will try to update radio tonight, wipe n reinstall Rom.

btw where can I get this specific radio?

This is happening to me in camera app.

If I use for example CameraZOOM all is ok.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
hmm okay haven't seen any thing like that, can you let me know, which version of the rom you are using, your hboot, and radio pls.

EDIT: or I can check your sig :eek:

if your on RC1 would you mind trying the test version, (you can download it from here ) and see if the problem is resolved.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I used the PG88IMG that you can get from here (the WWE version), but I think that you can only flash that via S-OFF there is a different procedure that someone posted a few pages back I believe for S-ON users

Yeah my device is s-off. So no worries. Changed radio couple of time already.
[HTC Desire S] DieLyn:
This is the camera corruption I was talking about ! I have this at 5MP. :laugh: EDIT: and at 3MP with any of the "effects" selected.

I will try CameraZoom as soon as possible. Then I will have no reason to change this wonderful ROM.

Thanks for the link. I will be trying this radio and the 2.00.2002 Hboot and will tell you if the camera issues disappear.

EDIT: tried out CameraZoom FX. What a bloody amazing app. No camera issues whatsoever. This is now a perfect ROM for me.

Can smbd please confirm, that app "dropsync" works? I'm getting FC each time. It works without a problem on other Roms...
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
used dropsync heavily without any kind of issues, (for photos and music) are you restoring a backup? if so try just installing the app from the market and setting it up by hand.

What else could get restored and is hidden somewhere?

Probably need to flash The boot image in fastboot. You can find tons of posts about that here.

No dice.

Had a disconnect of BT during a call. On the phone the conversation continued but the connection to the car kit had dropped.

I see that you have a newer kernel, maybe this could bring the bt problem ?
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
That's the kernel which came with this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
yeah, it sounds like I need to have another look at the bt, particulay in relation to car kits as this seems to be what is throwing up the problem. trouble is its hard to pin the issue down as obviously you guys cant pull logcats while you driving in the car. once I have the next test version to the testers I will dig into ito it and probably post a couple of small patched for people with this specific problem to try out.
[HTC Desire S] michaeldepotter:
I don't have problems with my car kit. (Renault Megane TomTom) Calls and Phonebook works great!

Only the music get a small interruption now and then (but not more then once or twice every hour). This is a problem I have on almost all the ICS Roms (even stock ICS) and I don't really mind. Just saying ;)

(I'm on the de-odexed test version, Hboot 2.02 - unlocked htc dev)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
okay guys somepoint, probably over the weekend I am going to list all the little things that have cropped up now that people have been using the rom for a while and let you know what the status is on each of them and whether you can expect a fix in version 1 or after. this will be for things like for example BT issues with certain carkits etc. Just feel you would all appreciate knowing what is being done to address these issues and at least have some idea of when you might see a resolution to them.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Can you let me know please if this resolves the problem for you please, I think of the top of my head I have only had 1 person report this issue fixed for them, and that was after they updated their hboot and radio to the same version that I use. I would very much like to know if the test version eliminates this error once and for all.
[HTC Desire S] Shuvo_bd:
solved, yes, i had to flash the boot img before flashing the rom via fastboot. now wifi is working ok. just one question, as mine is htc dev unlocked, do i need to flash the boog.img of my desired rom everytime prior flashing the rom??? and what about restoring a nandroid backup? and if i want to flash CM based rom,or Aokp then the procedure will be same i guess. so, everytime i flash a new rom, at first, reboot into bootloader, then fastboot and then flash boot.img using command promt, then reboot into recovery, full wipe and flash rom. right???
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Yes, that's correct. However, you should proceed the other way round. If you flash a "third party" kernel like amidabuddha's tweaked kernel the neccessary modules would be wiped if you flash the ROM after the kernel. So, flash the ROM first, then the kernel.

I am on ICE DS 6.5 now and am very curious about Desire XS (RC1).

I just updated my HBOOT to 2.00.2002 (radio was already uptodate), so I should be ready for the new/test version.

Would you recommend running the RC1/test now, or wait some time for RC2?

(Daily driver, active use)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Now as this is my own rom I am obviously a bit biased but I believe the rom to be perfectly stable for everyday use, the biggest bugs (such as issues with bluetooth on car kits and camera corruption) affect only a very small number of people, (RC1 has now had over 1200 downloads with only about a dozen people that I am aware of that have been affected by either one of these issues, so about 1% of users roughly) the rest of the issues as a whole are more cosmetic in nature (such as the carrier name always showing in the notification panel.)

The only reason that the next update has taken a while is because of a string of bad luck and looking at new features. daft things like my pc refusing to recompile apks, my dog eating my phone and also trying to add things like adding ota updates via the inbuilt ota system already in the rom. (Why add more weight to the rom when it already has a mechanism in place to install updates.)

For the best experience I would suggest trying out the latest test version as you have the new hboot already although RC1 is the current official release version.

So people know I plan to have version 1 of the rom out to the testers by the end of the weekend, once they have tested it out and reported back I will then update as to when the official release will become live.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
Ok, I will try the new test version.

Good to hear that version 1.0 is near!

BTW What will be the best way to measure/find out if I notice the difference in odexed vs deodexed? App + OS startup times?

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay so it definitely is a radio issue then, I had a suspicion that might be the case, and with 2 people having switched radios to find the problem fixed confirms it for me. I will add this info to the first post when I next update the rom.

[HTC Desire S] elektraaaaaa:
Hello thantos2024.

As you can update google now on rom test.

Sorry for my English.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
The problem with google now is that the original dev team that worked on porting it stopped as the latest version requires modding from scratch due the changes that were implamented, however they never released any information on what the changes were that they made. To bring it up to date with the current version will take a lot of work and a lot of time so it is not something I am willing to get in just yet.

Once this rom is finalized, then I may well look into as a number of people have expressed an interest in it but that wont be for a little while yet I'm afraid.
