Yes it a kernel issue indeed. I had some time trying to improve it but all I have tried just made it worse. So I guess it is the best state we can have. For now ;)

Hmm, can't explain what happened, but now it is working. I swear I installed it a lot of times, different versions etc. Now I went to SuperSU, and BBS was not there (I wanted to clear its settings). So I went to the app drawer and selected BBS again, this time it started and shows the correct values. Anyone understanding this can explain. :) Sorry for the false alarm thantos2024.

OK, thanks. Good to know it is not related to the ROM, but bad, it is everywhere :)

[HTC Desire S] razi914:
the rom really great,, THANKS,!! im getting a little suspicous with battery life,, can anyone post thier maximum screen on time with this rom?
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
Have to correct my previous post, still facing it. Sometimes it draws the right creen after a while, for example when I rotate the device, but most of the time it is black. Even when it displays the graphs, the screen is unresponsive, unable to scroll down, the best part is the refresh button -> results in a redrawn screen almost immediately. So can't explain why is it almost-OK sometime, and not the other. But if thantos2024 can have a look at it, that would be great.

@Tirofog: So updateing to RC1 (and to test, as that is an odexed version of RC1) is useless. Do you experience the above also?

After experimenting myself it seems that the BBS from the Play Store works perfectly, while the free XDA version from the forum thread has all the issue's listed above. I don't know why the free one doesn't work, but I will PM the dev in the morning to see if they can shed any light on the issue.

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

I only ran a quick test with the odexed rom to confirm it worked with 2.02.0002, didn't actually try BBS.. anyway now it seems the issue is only with the free XDA version.

XS has to be one of the best Sense 4 Roms out there, hopefully customisable quick quick settings and cpu tweaks will be added at some stage.

Okay all, to keep you updated I have been having issues with recompiling apk's, thought it was something that I would be able to sort out easily but has been ongoing for a while now. I have decided that my best course of action is to backup everything and start fresh with a clean environment. (this is something I have been meaning to do anyway in fairness, just was planning on getting to version 1 before I did it.) This will mean that there maybe a couple of days delay in the next test version appearing, and therefore version 1 may not appear till the end of next week.

I vote for adding all the extra options like 7 home screens, EQS, Beats Audio, full lock screen, etc. into Aroma Installer so that people could be free to put whatever they need into the base ROM so that iypt wouldn't be overloaded with features which would result in reducement of smoothness of the system and the UI and so that this ROM could become a pleasure for different users

Background app kill

It seems the ROM likes killing background apps(maybe a problem of sense 4)...

For example,I ran google+,facebook and Gmail in the morning.In the afternoon,when I want to use my phone again,I find that only Gmail survived,facebook and google+ were killed...

Sometimes,these apps recovered even slower than reloading...any solution?:confused:

that's the only problem for me now....tried cm10.1 serval weeks before,multi-tasking works like a charm...

I don't know if we can write something in build.prop to change the settings of the Linux OOM Killer...

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

Hmm, Well I unplugged the phone at 10pm last night with the battery at 56%, it has had medium usage in that time, with wifi, bt, and data on, a couple of calls of about 5mins each, some web browsing, checking emails and xda and I now have 36% battery left. While it was left overnight it was only losing 0.1% battery per hour. That was with wifi, data, bt background sync etc all enabled. If you know of a way to improve that then I will gladly implement it into the Rom.

Are your figures based on a clean install, before you restored all your data with titanium backup or similar backup program or after you restored your data.

I'll put it back on charge in a minute, then when the battery is full I will see how long it lasts with the screen permanently turned on and report back.

Random screen on when idle (version RC1)

With RC1 (not the test builds in the last few weeks), whenever the USB cable is connected to my computer on disk drive mode and the phone is idle, the screen remains blank. On the other hand , if there is no cable connected to the phone and it is left idle (and in flight mode), the screen randomly comes to life every now and then showing HTC Sense default screen with clock (the last screen I left it at). It then turns itself off after about 5 seconds and repeats itself at random intervals. Phone in settings is set to go to sleep after 1 minute.

I've enclosed a logcat which was started then I pushed the power button to turn off the screen. After about two minutes, the screen randomly came to life on at least two or three occasions whilst idle. I then went into logcat and saved the txt file.

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

From what I can see it looks like something is preventing the phone from sleeping correctly, I would advise doing a fresh install without restoring anything, check everything is running fine, then start restoring things one at a time till you find the culprit.

I realise that this can be a bit of a tedious process but really is the best method, because of the differences between this Rom and other sense 4 roms in the thread, items that have been restored can sometimes behave in a way they shouldn't (I had trouble using a restored version of xda for example, it would randomly freeze up or refuse to connect to the forum until I force closed it and deleted the cache. Now I always us a fresh install and it works fine.)
[HTC Desire S] Wowser:
Fortunately I don't have too many apps installed on top of the defaults but as you say, still a tedious process and probably linked to that command Smartsync_Service_Broadcast_Screen_Off in the alogcat.

Hey man,

Just remembered something that will probably have you banging your head on the wall once you start editing smali:

- once you recompile any system app/framework file, system will refuse it due to signature mismatch. With framework files, rom probably won't boot properly

So the first thing you need to do is hack the checksignatures method (don't recall the exact name) in services.jar to always return true.

Ah, maybe it can. If it doesn't depend on whether it's full or lite Sense UI, that is. I believe that Desire X comes with lite Sense as well and its camera is VERY limited in terms of functionality compared to any other Sense 4.x phone. Maybe it's because of the lense capabilities, IDK

It's exactly opposite for me. It's first rom which doesn't kills apps in background so easily. I feel thay stay running much longer compared to other sense roms (i didn't try cm) . Check developers settings in your phone there are options for multitasking tweaks.

Bugs

Well, I didn't want to actually post about this one(even though I'm sure of it) because the reliability of my phone is in question (I'm one of the few who experience the camera bug)

What I've noticed is when the Messages app is running in the background, the phone lags quite a bit. When I terminate the app using Advanced Task Killer, the phone speeds right back up. This has happened numerous times (at the very least 30-40 times) and its now second nature to go kill the Messages app as soon as theres any lag.
[HTC Desire S] razi914:

[HTC Desire S] robertut:
a couple of observations

Thanks for a great and lightweight ROM!

- how to edit home screens? After flashing RC1, strangely, the homescreen designated as "home" is actually the first one from the right. Long-pressing the home HW key should bring up an editor where one could add or delete home screens and designate which one to be the main "home". Long-pressing any key doesn't do that, long-pressing the empty screen brings up the widget editor. I fixed by moving the widgets from screen to screen, however, I'd only like to use 3 home screens, how to delete the others?

- with the screen locked, the top notification bar allows to pull down the drawer and use all inside - it shouldn't. The normal behaviour would be to not allow to pull the drawer unless the screen is unlocked.

- HTC Car app is not displaying the icons added in the Music app. The original behaviour is the following: in the Music app the user can add shortcuts to different other apps. Afterwards, in the HTC Car app, the bottom-right icon would change to the last shortcut the user added in Music app. This is very useful to use custom navigation apps with HTC Car - in this ROM this feature is broken.
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
You are not right. This is Sense 4.1,lite, which does not allow homescreen rearrangement or increasing/decreasing the number of home screens. There are workarounds to do this, but not on stock HTC phones. ICS ROMs are allowing to open notification bar even if the screen is locked. Even if a PIN / pattern lock is applied, you can do this until the screen locktime kicks in (not equal to screen timeout!), So this is a normal behaviour, again. Finally I'm not sure, but after searching for a solution to replace Google Maps / Locations in HTC Car I found that adding shortcuts to the music application, you can pin them to the lower right button, Replacing the lower left button (the navigation) is not possible to any 3rd party application, so your only choice is to trick the system and set iGO or Sygic as a music application and select the right shortcut in Cars.

So your observations are fine, but not all of your conclusions :)
[HTC Desire S] robertut:
Sense 4.1 lite - I see the first two points you are right.

On the third pont sorry but on my HTC One X I definitely CAN add an extra icon of any app installed to the Music app, and that will appear in HTC Car! That's perfectly true on stock ICS and JB on HTC One X.

Don't see why it wouldn't work in this ROM on Desire S.

(remember, it actually replaces TuneIn icon with the third party icon, original other HTC Car apps like Location etc stay intact. This is a factory feature, no hacks needed - it just doesn't work. I tested before on Desire S teamvenom's rom - that's OK on this side).
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
Yes, as you could notice in the mean time, I modified my comment cause I thought you are speaking about navigation icon, which is fixed. But realized you want to change the music app ;) So I tested it and it works fine. No problem for me to change it to any 3rd party application. I can provide you a screenshot if you want.

Well guys have some bad news, I have just woken up to find my staffie chewing on my phone. Turns out that gorilla glass isn't stronger than a staffie's jaws. Neither is the back cover, battery or any other part of the phone. I'm glad to say that apart from some cuts on its gums and tongue the dog seems fine although he'll be suffering a trip to the vet in the morning. (serves the **** right.) but my desire s is toast.

I will do what I can to continue the Rom but as the phone is uninsured it will be some time before I can afford to replace it. I will need people who are willing to try testing updates for me so that I can contiun work.

Testers must be able to:

Accept that anything I give then to flash will be completely untested and willing to accept that the results could be unpredictable.

Able to take the time to test the Rom thoroughly.

Able to provide detailed and concise feedback complete with all the relevant logs highlighting any errors that they discover.

If you are interested in being a tester please send me a pm and I will get back to you.

Thanks to all those who have pm'd me with regards to testing the Rom for me. Nice to know there are people willing to go out of there way to help keep the Rom alive. I will send a personal reply to all those that sent me a pm so I can thank them properly and let them know how I plan to handle the testing, however I am right now just cleaning up my pc as it had got chocked with old files etc and was giving me issues. Once that ie complete it will mean a nice fresh space to continue working on version 1.

I will of course be looking to replace my desire s asap, but due to my current circumstances that may take a while. I don't really like asking for donations, but things being what they are if anyone has a little spare to help me replace the handset quicker then all donations will be very gratefully received.

I do want to assure all desire xs users though that this Rom will continue no matter what though, it just will be a bit longer between updates.

Hi all

to keep you all up to date on progress, now that the odexed version of the rom with the lib partion moved has been thoroughly tested without it appearing to have broke anything major I am now working on rebasing the rom to the Desire X 1.18 ruu and also introducing OTA updates via the inbuild update software. once this work is complete I will be sending it out to the testers to bug test for me.

I expect this to be the last of the major changes with whatever is left to be just small bug fixes such as the service provider being constantly shown in the notification bar and these shouldn't take too long to iron out, it will then go for further bug testing, and assuming nothing disastrous happens that breaks the rom I will then release version 1.0.
