Hi thantos, found another issue I forgot to mention. Not sure if others did before.

When I reboot the phone, all shortcuts in the last screen will disappear n I will need to re-add them.
[HTC Desire S] sunand777:
this is the best sense 4 lite rom that ever used in desire s..its working smoothly without any lags and problems...this is my daily rom for long time...

GREAT THANKS for Thantos...

also i would like to use full sense 4 rom port from ONE SV... any updates....??

here is One SV EU ROM dump

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
This is a know issue and is caused when apps are installed to the sd-card, it occures due to the fact that the sd-card mounts after rosie starts up so rosie doesnt think the apps exist. I am looking into the issue to try and find a way to get the sdcard mounted earlier in the boot process. If you move the affected apps onto the internal memory instead of the sd-card then you wont have an issue.

I have pm'd the dev regards the euu version of the One SV rom, I will be looking at releasing a full sense rom after this rom reaches version 1.

A little cosmetic bug: when I enter or exit airplane mode the left side of the notification bar it is not updated until screen off/on, a new notification arrive or I expand the notification bar...
[HTC Desire S] twist3rtm:
Does anybody here use Waze navigation app? They got a new beta update yesterday that seems to be working on all kinds of android phones and I saw some of the users use HTC Desire S like my own, however for me the app is not working. It opens the app but it quickly gets out of it (not totally, it's still in the notification bar) and I get a blank screen. I saw hundreds of users saying that the app is working for them so I was thinking if there is somebody here with this ROM that is using the latest beta version of Waze to see if the problem is at this ROM or something else ?

The beta version of app is here : http://bit.ly/W32kUe

The stable version of the app in Play is working ok tough.

Hi guys i have a problem with the bluetooth , with the jabra easygo i have no voice sound în call and they not hearing me back , but if i play music i hear it on headset . With Nokia bh 106 i have voice sound în call and they hear me . So i think is a problem with the voice routing on headset or with the bluetooth profiles în the rom.
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
Welcome to the happy few having issues with handsfree calling :)
[HTC Desire S] I_M_Ken:
im using the exact same BT device. I have the same issues. Just updated my radio.. hope that solves it.

Once i try it i'll let u guys know...but so far all ICS sense roms i've used have this problem.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I plan to take a look at the bluetooth profiles before I release version 1. If someone could grab me a logcat of when the issue occures that would also be of help to perhaps pinpoint the issue.

Also my thanks to holvoetn for his donation to the fund to replace my Desire S. We now have reached the funds needed for me to be able to replace my last one and I hope to have it very soon. I would like to offer my humble heartfelt thanks to all those who donated once more for your generosity. I only hope that the final version of this rom, and all the roms to follow it live up to your expectations.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
As the stable version works with the rom, then the issue is something they have changed in the beta. Although there may be users that have it working on their Desire S, do you know what verson of andriod and htc sense they are running, is there anyone running sense 4.1 on their Desire S that reports it working. Also this is a prot from the Desire X so it might be worth looking if any Desire X users have reported back on whether it works or not. I think the ideal solution for a beta app is to pull a logcat of the error and submit it to the devs reporting what handset, andriod version, sense version and hboot (as the desire s has to different types) so they can look into it.

When I have my replacement handset I will of course be happy to take a look and see what is happening, but with a beta app it could be the app that is the problem just as easily as anything else,
[HTC Desire S] twist3rtm:
I've checked and the users with Desire S are using the stock ROM (latest Gingerbread).

There are also 2 users with Desire X with 4.0.4 that are reporting the app is working. It's kind of weird that now hundreds of users with different combination of devices and ROM's are reporting the app is working and on my device is not. I did all it takes, I've removed the old app, cleared the files left on SDCard, reboot the phone and then did a clean install, but the problem wasn't solved.

I was just asking to see if a fellow user here with the same specs as mine does run the beta app with success. Then I would know if the problem is with the app in combination with this ROM or I just did something wrong.

However, I can wait to see if I get a reply from the devs or somebody from here. Thank you

Unfortunately an annoying issue: Ruzzle Free and ChatOn don't work. Only black screen and nothing to do except hitting back button and return to the desktop.

I am on test version. On the contrary it seems that camera is working very good although my radio are not up-to-date!

I pulled this logcat, I hope it could be helpful.

I confirm the problem with Ruzzle.

I'm still on the beta version (not RC1) but it might help if you know that the issue was present in the beta version too.

It has the same behavior like the beta version of Waze that I've mention some posts ago.

Perhaps someone with RC1 could also install this Waze beta version and tell me if with RC1 works, untill Thantos will make some time and aquire his Desire S and test this app. Thank you

To add another one to the increasing list: BetterBatteryStats. I just tried the free XDA version, but some of my colleagues bought it and it was the same with the paid one. Black screen, the only solution is to press Home. Both of us on Beta 2.01 if it matters.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
thanks for the info guys I am looking into it to see whats up. I apologize for being so quiet, my pots is playing up so I havent been able to spend more than about 5 mins at the pc for the last few days so I haven't got much done.

This sounds like it could be some sort of render issue but will need to go through the logs to see what is happening. I will also get in touch with the waze devs to see if they changed anything in the way it is rendered as well.

weird thing is with the odex test version I had the paid version of better battery stats working perfect, it was just the free xda version that had an issue.

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

Interesting. What exactly do you think is better about the picture quality on Sabsa? I think the quality of photos taken with DXS is about as good as the tiny sensor on this phone allows...

Do you think it will be possible to improve picture quality installing a sense 3.6 camera?
[HTC Desire S] robertut:
Guys does anybody know of a "MIUI-style battery bar" mod which would be compatible with this ROM?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hmm thats interesting, I will have a look into it, really of the top of my head cant see why using the car dock mode should make the bluetooth suddenly work.

So you all know, the next version is coming along, it has now been rebased to the Desire X 1.18 rom, complete overhaul of the build.prop. Rebuilt the bin folder as a bolloxed system dump during a brain fart moment left it with a truck load of unneeded files. Reworked the services.jar to correct some issues there, compass now has the right permissions so apps like gps status no longer thinks it doesn't exist. systemui edited so that carrier name no longer shows in the notification bar permanently, and also removed the power efficiency toggle from quick settings, as the code doesn't appear to be fully implemented in sense lite (although this is still under investigation as I might be missing things here.) Also dropsync free version will now work as it no longer things that the pro key is installed when it isn't (My thanks to peters for his work investigating this particular issue with the dev for me.) The rom now offers more languages available during setup, but this will need testing to see if there are any translation issues.

I am currently working on the aroma script, separating out some of the app bundles to give more choice over exactly what does and doesn't get installed as well as adding in being able to choose your location for gps data. Looking at the bluetooth profiles to try and sort issues with some car kits etc. Taking another look at fonts to try fix dialectics so that they show correctly. still trying to sort out using the inbuilt ota feature for future updates. Working on trying to improve the camera quality.

I want to thank you all for your feedback on the rom with bug reports etc, please keep them coming so that we can continue to work together to improve the rom even further, and also thank you for your patience regarding the update, it has been a while now and yet there have been no demands from people as to when it will be so thank you for that.

Also on a positive note, thanks to the kind donations received I am now awaiting delivery on a new handset:victory: I promise to keep this one well out of reach of the dog.:p Also speaking of donations, while I would never expect people to donate, if any donations are received from this point, then all donations will go to a fund that will be used solely for rom developing to pay for things such as a proper server with decent bandwidth for ota updates, cover cost of replacement hardware etc. I only mention as I thought that for a change it might be nice if people knew what donations went on, as I noticed a few developers say about donating to them, but don't tell you what it will be used for.

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

Woh woh,, have you even tried sabsa prime ? Im am not blind ,,one can easily see the difference, the size of the jpg is 2x bigger on sabsa , and the phone camera sensor is Very Good , it is the software causing the problem ,, Example ? Pictures taken with this Rom , are nothing compared with endymion,sense 3.6 ics blah blah bla

But no need to waste time on arguing, Op already said camera quality is on To do list,
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Now this is just wild speculation on my part here and I could be completely wrong in which case I am sure someone will correct me but I think part of the issue is simply down to the way that images are processed from by a sense 4 rom verses a sense 3.6 rom, in sense 3.6 all the processing of the image was done after it was converted to a jpeg file, so by changing the amount of compression etc that occured during the conversion process could make a big difference in the final output (the less compression you have on the file the more data it has to work with the better the end result. From what I gather in sense 4 a lot of that processing is done before the file is converted to a jpeg by htc's imagechip, something we don't have, and that I think is why we aren't seeing the results with the built in camera, and why people feel that they dont get the differences that they used to by reducing the amount of compression etc that is applied to the jpegs. This means that our only alternative is increasing the amount of data that is captured in the first instance, which is limited by the hardware its self. one way to help is to lower the iso level so that the camera captures data for a bit longer, but this has the downside that you will get bluring a lot easier that way.

As I say, I am just speculating here, and could be way of the mark, but with the limited information I have it does seem to make sense.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Well, picture file size is just a function of jpeg compression. The lower the compression, the larger the file. But you probaly know that already. I just checked the pictures I took with Sabsa Prime a while ago (around version 8 or 9) and they look ok but so do the ones I took with DXS two weeks ago.

So again, please elaborate what exactely makes the pictures from Sabsa better in your opinion. Less compression artefacts? Better colours? More detail? Larger dynamic range? Do you have any examples for comparison? I'm sure this would help thantos in finding the cause of the difference.

Suggestion for thantos:

On ViperSaga I really liked the 3 fingers swipe custom gestures. It would be nice if you can bring them in Desire XS too, but I don't know if you can nor if you are allowed too
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Re: [ROM][22 Dec 12]Desire XS RC 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4] 100% Working cam

As far as I can tell the three finger gestures is a feature of sense 4 full and not found on the sense 4 lite roms. (there are no options on the desire x for this at any rate.) If it turns out to be something viper team hacked their Rom to get working then there is no point asking to use it, as a very early fully working sense 4 full I worked on started life as a kanged Rom that I rebuilt completely from scratch removing every bit of kanged code I could find till it was completely stock, except 1 single file that might possibly have had some code from team venom left inside it. (This was early days and I had some code that didn't appear to do anything but couldn't be 100% sure what it was.) So I contacted them to tell them about it, even offering to submit the file to them so they could confirm whether it might be their code or not and confirm it was dead. There response was a message entitled AWW and the words no you can't use it. I kinda realised at that moment that asking team venom about anything was pretty much pointless as as far as they are concerned everything in their roms is untouchable by anyone else. Which is fair enough, it's their work and that is there right. So you will never, ever see anything from a viper Rom embedded into one if my roms.
[HTC Desire S] robertut:
There's a setting inside HTC Car app to turn on Bluetooth whenever it starts. It can be turned off.

I really suggest to have a look at the HTC Car and Music apps bundled with the One series. There's a nice feature there: if you add a custom app to the shortcut list of the Music app, HTC Car app will allow you to put that app on it's main screen, replacing the bottom/right TuneIn or Settings button. This feature is not working on Desire XS, nor ViperSaga.

But it would be really useful to have, as custom nav apps could be used in dock mode with Car app.

Like Pandora is in the screenshot above.

TeamVenom has another approach in ViperSaga, they have a tweak option to acutally replace the link behind Google Navigation with the app you select, but that's a pretty dirty method, as the icon and name in Car app remain still Google Navigation.

While the official method above (gave by HTC in stock ROMs) is much more elegant, icon is shown correctly, name changed accordingly.

On my other HTC One X phone I use now Revolution HD 18.1 ROM and mike1986 kept this functionality in very well.
