Ok I'll do that for all contacts then.

Sense only seemed to offer for new FB and WA contacts so I'll add them all manually.

The annoying thing was that the sync process was active for hours.. Busy syncing after importing Google contacts.

I hope that's gone when I restore all proper links.

Is this related to switching to a new sense version maybe?

And where are the links stored? Not in my Google contacts I think.
[HTC Desire S] MrFEr:
As saw before (but I'm not sure 100%), there's a 'notes' field with a lot of unreadable stuff referring to the current persons actual Facebook profile (you can check it viewing google on your PC as well). I think that's the data that should have been deleted, however I did not find any way to mass clear this information with one click from all the contacts.

I'm afraid it has to be done one by one.
[HTC Desire S] robertut:
Thantos, may I drive your attetntion to these two apps:

Lagfix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix

Seeder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder

On many ROMs the source of the lagging/smoothness decrease problem is that internal storage is not properly TRIMmed when needed. Lagfix is a free app which can be run from time to time to fix that.

The second tool is not free on Google Play, but here is the free XDA-version of it. This one really impressively reduces lag and increases smoothness, by keeping kernel entropy at a normal value.

You should perhaps try out these and see if they give any performance bonus with the full-sense version. I tried SabsaPrime earlier which is full sense, and Seeder gave me great results.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Thanks for the links, I will have a look later, but right now at least part of the issue is that where it is an early build, somewhere along the way I have left in part of the nfc (near field communications) feature, this is causing a repeating error and crash, so I am currently fixing this first.

[HTC Desire S] martusc:
Dunno how many of these phones HTC sold, but I reckon it should have been 10 000, if only people knew.

Been using it quite heavily for a number of days, and I'm Thrilled. It's a new phone.
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Hi,

First, one important thing for all who are NOT using Root Explorer - change owner should be done BEFORE change permissions (file rights).

Second, how do we flash boot.img? Via adb, or somehow with the phone? I couldn't find it...

Thanks a lot!

Edit: I got it, flashed via Fastboot :) Will report in a while :)

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Well in my kernel case there is not much of a choise since I have decided to stick with the officially supported governors and schedulers.

I trust more the official mantainers than random developers around. Not to undersetimate XDA kernel devs work but I think people that are paid to do something are somehow more proffesional :) Like using some testing tools - example for the dev of deadline and noop
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Hi,

A bit more in benchmarks in particular, or is it a better combination for general use?

Поздрави от София :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
In benchmark numbers. But really this is only 2% performance difference, I doubt it can be even noticed

Generally Desire XS is so smooth that IMO there is absolutely no matter what CPU setting are used. I flash Patched just to test but run it perfectly on B2B for daily use
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Well... not in my case. About 400 points down when using noop, going back to deadline :).

Do you have google text-to-speech working ? I have always fc...

In aroma setup I check mark on Google talkback...

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

I don't think tanthos made the translation, I believe the error is in the base ROM of HTC.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I'm afraid the issue with text to speech is down to an error on my end, it will be fixed in 1.2 which will be out by the end of the week.

Yes I am afraid the translation errors are actually in the base of the rom. I will be working on the smali code for a number of things for 1.3 including the camera so I will see what I can do.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
The 'People' app keeps closing every 3minutes orso.

Any ideas whats causing it? And what is of supposed to do anyway?

It also crashes immediately when i click on "my profile" in contacts.

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
hmm, the people app is basically the contacts list, I've not know of any issues affecting this, can you grab a logcat of the crash for me please so I can see if it gives a cause for the crash.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, because there has been over 1100 downloads so far and I am not aware of this having been reported before so I am wondering if I have missed some bug reports.
[HTC Desire S] Cole07:
I'm on v1.1. Never had this issue on any rom. Contacts and My Profile on contacts working. Also People Widget working
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
My "People" app is no longer crashing every 3 minutes after some usage.

However, it crashes every time I click on "My profile" in the contacts view. Does that work for you?

I'll make a logcat later.
[HTC Desire S] Allen Hu:
It's working here;)

Have you tried replacing apk or clearing data of app ?
[HTC Desire S] Cole07:
I haven't any problem with My Profile in the contacts. I'm using a gmail and a outlook account and both of them shown there. I played some with my profile, all changes saved without problem. You should remove all accounts and try it again
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
No, haven't tried that. Will do that later.

It's no longer annoying since I don't use my own profile :)
[HTC Desire S] scan6:
I faced this problem too

But it happens when I tap my profile

R: [ROM][25 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1.1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

Me too...
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I am investigating and will try to come up with an answer, also I have been working at the powersaver settings and I am hoping that you will have more of the options kick in when it is enabled, (right now its only one or 2 of them.)

I have resolved some of the performance issues with Desire XSV and, for the moment at least, it is looking like it is on track for release with Desire XS 1.2 at the end of the week.

Oh, and for those who want to know, the error in the contacts seems to be releated to a read permission connected to facebook, but at this time I have no idea why some people get it and others don't.

Also, I may consider uploading a test build of Desire XSV for Desire XS users to try, so long as they understand its not finished and is just give a test of what to expect, so if I do, and if you try it, please note that I wont be taking any bug reports until I release beta 1
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
Anything I can do to help you determine the problem? Is it a privacy setting in Facebook itself, or more on app level?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
That I am still trying to determine to be honest with you, can I ask those that are having issues, are you installing facebook only, facebook with friendstream, or just downloading facebook after install?

also are you restoring any facebook data etc from previous backups? Its just I cannot replicate the issue at all on my end, so perhaps knowing your install procedure we can find a common denominator.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
I installed facebook with facestream. I did restore Facebook with Titanium (exact same version of FB), perhaps that is the problem.
[HTC Desire S] scan6:
I installed facebook+twitter+friendstream

And I probably restored facebook app with tb ...(app only
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
I have installed friendstream+facebook+twitter but didn't restore anything.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
There's a bit of a mistake in the installation of friendstream app. And might be the reason for the problem. The mistake came from the updater-script:

if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/social.prop","selected.0") == "1"
then
ui_print("-- Installing Friendstream + Twitter");
[B][COLOR="Red"]package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/app", "/system");[/COLOR][/B]
package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/Twitter", "/system");
endif;

if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/social.prop","selected.0") == "2"
then
ui_print("-- Installing Friendstream + Facebook");
[B][COLOR="red"]package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/app", "/system");[/COLOR][/B]
package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/Facebook", "/system");
endif;

if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/social.prop","selected.0") == "3"
then
ui_print("-- Installing Friendstream + Twitter & Facebook");
[B][COLOR="red"]package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/app", "/system");[/COLOR][/B]
package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/Twitter", "/system");
package_extract_dir("extra/Friendstream/Facebook", "/system");
endif;

Where it should be extracted to "system/app". Having said that, it is not installed properly. You might want to check your "system" directory on your phone to confirm. Move the files accordingly and set the 644 permission.

@thantos2024

I believe you haven't read my PM to you but anyways, I'll post it here:
[HTC Desire S] scan6:
Ah ha ! Here they are!

I will report back if it works . Thx:D
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
move files accordingly, set proper permission for EACH file, then reboot. If it still doesn't work, your last resort would be to wipe cache + dalvik. then try again.

If the problem still persists, then its on a different level. I myself do not experience this problem with proper friendstream and facebook.
[HTC Desire S] scan6:
It works like a charm!

I don't get fc anymore when I tap my profile !:)

I didn't change permission cuz they were just the same permission like other apps. Just reboot without any wipe.

No wonder that I couldn't find friendstream app ..haha

[EDIT]:live feed sync in facebook account also works:D
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah I had found the error and posted in the thread a few pages back about it, already fixed for 1.2, (along with a couple of other installer script errors.) Come down to a simple case of rushing to try and get 1.1 out quickly.

Glad that just moving the files solved the issues for everyone, means that I no longer have to chase the bugs, (and explains why I couldn't recreate as I have already amended the script.

@Skanob, I did shot you a reply earlier but then comp when down with a bluescreen, so perhaps it didn't go through, basically it said that if you have some ideas for the installer that you would like to put forward then I am more than happy for you to do so, suggestions, comments and help are always welcome.

As for the Gnow, it is the full offline/online version and originally came I believe from this thread

[HTC Desire S] razi914:
It is odexed or deodexed?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Deodexed, but does require the new hboot still as it is. (the whole Rom is on the system partition.)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry, but I have to correct you. The system partition has the same size on all hboots for Desire S. But moving of the lib folder to a separate one frees 150 Mb additional space

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
I like it and cant wait till you have everything working, nice work dude :D
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
A better statement I guess would be that nothing has been moved to the data partition. (except for a updated version of flashplayer.)
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
I'm currently testing the new aroma and updater-scripts that I've managed to come up. Well, I just modified the one that you have for v1.1.

This new script will let you modify the ROM without the need to wipe. And is a customize-able within the limitation of the ROM. (Remember the Ice Cream Saga installation process, anyone?)

With regards to apps saved on the System Partition. My bet would be is to simple "move" the apps that are "update-able" from google play as it is just wasting precious system space. Once an update has been released for an app, the phone uses the apk on the data app partition, but not the one on the system. (correct me if i'm wrong here).

With that said, I now have 100+mb free system space. Even with Google Now installed. So a lot can be done in terms of modifying. ;)

@thantos : Fantastic work with XSV...

Runs smooth...Full sense but I feel its tweaked...

Look super cool...

Don't know y you call it alpha...whatever I used ran perfect...

Kudos man :)
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
How is it compared to XS? Delays or lags on app drawer or during unlocking process? Because thantos2024 is perfectionist (in the best sense), and he might can't adjudge how good is XSV in real. :D
[HTC Desire S] Husky34:
thanks god he's perfectionist :D

before this rom we have many other sense 4 rom but no one is smoother/with working camera/and almost bugfree

i had to use cm10.1 but with this desire sx i finally use a fully working sense rom...oh ok,we miss some tweaks but come on the rom is fantastic :D
[HTC Desire S] sssimo96:
While other devs are trying to compete each other thantos helps each of them and does the best ROMs! The XSV is in my dowload tray but some time ago I tried replacing files in the /system/ and made my installation of the XS full sense. It worked just fine.

Actually I wanted to post here that it would be great to be posted some kind of flashable zip to get the full Sense 4.1 experience on the XS but found out that its already done! :good::good::good:

I'm experiencing some lags on all kernels (B2B and Patched - both versions) with Temple Run II - I'm running at 1200 Mhz, ondemand + deadline. I have a friend running B2B kernel and he has no such issues. Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
The aroma installer and updater-script is properly working. I'm now able to change anything (within the limitation of the ROM) without the need to full wipe, helpful to those who changes a few things on their phone and /or does not need some apps. I'll PM you the changes that I've made and also a few suggestions. Hope it will get implemented.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
okay guys, if my pots will back off and let me concentrate on something for more tha 2 mins, I plan to spend today working on trying to finish sorting the powersaver function as much as possible, although it is definatly now enabling through the QS toggle, not all of the functions are enabling, so I am hoping to be able to fix that.
[HTC Desire S] gsimeonov:
Is it possible to flash Desire XSV on top of the existing XS installation, without wiping anything but Cache&Dalvik?
[HTC Desire S] Husky34:
is a different base...of course NOT! :)
[HTC Desire S] xicomatos:

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
You can do it. Already PMed you the changes and suggestions. Let me know what you think..? :D

There's still A LOT of work that I'm thinking of doing with it. But will settle for now. Downloading XSV alpha version..
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
recent apps button isn't broken.
[HTC Desire S] Husky34:
yes, short press on menu for recent apps and longpress for setting/options
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I would wipe system at least but I have actually tried to make them as compatible as possible with each other to make working 2 roms at once easier for myself.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
you can change that to vice-versa on the display and gesture setting.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@thantos2024

Just started flashing the test XSV version and I love your disclaimer! :)

I got you wrong previously - does require a newer hboot since it use a separate lib partition

The installing screen says "installing DesireXS" but this is minor

A lot of system languages are missing. Front camera is not working (sorry if this was mentioned previously)

According to the Task Manager I have 1 GB of RAM :)

A bit laggy at the beginning (b2b kernel, btw I suggest to use the wpa_supplicant and libhardware_legacy.so from Patched for this kernel too, they fit better to the device hardware) but I will give it some hours a go, there are always a lot of one time processes at the first boot of a new ROM
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
May be it is time to have a different thread for Desire XSV with the alpha version.

It will be good to have responses and bug reports separate from XS rom.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah, I found it a little laggy on initial boot but after it had finished syncing etc it settled down on became pretty smooth, the front camera I am aware of and will be corrected by beta 1, as will extra system languages (although like Desire XS may not be fully translated in the rom itself).

I hope by beta to have also improved performance a little more.

Yeah, this was just a preview for Desire XS users, I will be creating a Desire XSV thread with beta 1 soon.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yes, sorry I should have explained it again myself really, but it is explained in the OP, and it has been explained several times throughout the thread, along with a full explanation by myself as to why I haven't remapped it to the traditional long press home, so I just get a bit frustrated with seeing this one crop up at times.

Mind, you people who dont read things will love Desire XSV, untill you go to settings and change it, that is set to recent apps only :p
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
I actually like the Sense 4 way of having the recent apps on short press and options on long press.

I switch more often between apps than use the menu (most apps can refresh by pulling down etc).

But I can imagina it's annoying that people won't read the OP.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Want to take a moment to thank romassi, for his donation towards rom development, as with sleepymonk, this will be going towards the cost of a server with enough bandwidth to support ota updates on all roms. (as soon as I can pay for a full year, and the server is in place then ota will be implemented.)

I had meant to do this a couple of days ago when I recieved the donation, but with everything else it slipped through so my apologise for not having don it sooner romassi.
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
And I'd like to thank you Thantos, for making this smooth and stable Sense 4.1 (light) ROM.

I just switched permanently from ICE_DS, which has gotten slow in the last few updates.

If your goal is to have a smooth, fast and stable ROM you've succeeded.

I hope you will keep working on XS (as far as is necessary, at some point it may be as good as it gets) and keep it fast always.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Sorry if I can't donate, living in a third world country. :(

Anyways, for now you could try to release "manual" OTA flashable files.. With just the modified or updated app/files included, overwrite/delete old ones then delete cache and dalvik, set proper permissions and I think you're good to go. It should work as long as the base is not heavily modified. I believe that's the easiest way, correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Desire S] Husky34:
personally i love this choice :)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Well firstly, never apologize for not being able to donate, it really isn't expected of anyone to actually reach into there pockets, I just like to say thank you to people when they so, also there are other ways to donate, such as you yourself taking the time to rewrite the updater script off your own back to try and help out which is just as valued.

Incremental updates is something that I will probably introduce now that the changes to the rom is getting smaller, I am expecting 1.2 to be the last full rom update for a while unless I really screw something up, as 1.3 will be all the smali edits to things like the camera.apk, sound enhancer etc, so will be a case of just swapping out modified files.
