Okay guys I have been tied up away from my computer but thanks to my trusty desire S and an unlimited data plan I haven't been idle. After downloading 30Gb of Roms and libs and nearly frying my poor phone with wipes and reflashing from copying and pasting different libs through root explorer that didn't work it's looking like I may have surprise for you all in the morning that should make you all smile, so keep an eye on the forums mid morning on when I can get to my pc. Now if only there was a way to edit and recompile smali on my phone.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Waiting for the morning surprise :)

And I want to report the issues that I still have after beta 1.5:

1. I have to set current time after every start. This dialog pops up.

View attachment 1517601

2. The lock screen shortcuts are not showing most of the time. Uncomfortable.

View attachment 1517602

3. Capacitive buttons do not light up in the dark. Only if I put my finger on the left top of the screen and wait.

And I don't understand why the recent apps function is mapped to menu button or search button instead of home button. Isn't it more natural to have it on home button with long press as DS always has? Or is there a technical impossibility with it?

Thanks for the excitement you have.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hmm, well time issue I suspect is that you have it set to auto update the time in settings but have no data connection it can use. (Although to be fair I tried turning off all data connections and rebooting and didn't have that show.) Try turning off update time and timezone from network in settings and see if that resolves it.

For the lockscreen icons I really don't know, the only time I don't see mine is for a single second after first boot, then they are perfect, and that only happens some times.

As for the recent apps, as I have said in the change log, it is only a temp fix so that people could actually use them, this Rom comes from the Desire X which has the same key layout as the one x, home, app_switch and back. So to get recent apps to work on long press home I have to decompile the android.policy.jar file, find the correct entries, modify them, and then recompile them, which as I am new to this and have never actually touched a smali file in my life, (please remember this is the first port I have ever done and I am learning pretty much as I go along on some stuff), is going take some time to do and ensure it is 100% correct before I add it to the Rom, a single comma out of place could mean you just get a boot loop so it can't be rushed. As soon as I have the time to put several hours straight into it at my pc, it will be my no1 priority to get sorted.

In the interim I am doing anything that can be done on my phone by dropping files back and forth then as I get fixes sorted I will upload when I get five minutes at my pc. (such as the tethering fix, will going through my bin folder with root explorer I realised that the iptables files was missing, copy and paste it in, set permissions and viola tethering fixed. Then uploaded to you guys once I got back to my pc.) I do it this way so at least little things can get sorted while you wait for some of the bigger bugs. Unfortunately I don't know a way to decompile, edit safely and recompile the files on my phone while I'm away from my pc.

Is anyone else having issue with the backlights or the lockscreen icons, as they are working just fine for me so it's difficult at best for me to try to debug the problem.

Also, are you restoring settings from a previous Rom? This Rom from the desire X has a number of differences from the primo and one S/X Roms that is used the other sense 4 ports so I don't know what effect that would have.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Regarding missing lock screen shortcuts after rebooting: that will happen if you are running any other launcher by default instead of Rosie.

Thing is the lock screen depends on a content provider launched by Rosie, that's how the lock screen shortcuts always match what you are using on the launcher. So if Rosie is not launched, the lock screen doesn't know what are the shortcuts.

That being said, I think someone posted a custom content provider allowing to change the lock screen shortcuts independently of Rosie. I can't remember the dev or the app name, but it is somewhere around here on XDA.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hell, I'd completely forgot about that although by the look of the screenshots zihinsiz is using Rosie which is why I don't understand why he has this particular problem or the captive backlights, they work fine my end and as far as I'm aware noone else has this problem.
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
Thanks, I'm happy with recent apps on search button.

P.s don't forget to put right camera.apk in next revision :)
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
OK. I understand now that home button mapping is more tedious work. I don't want to insist about that. Just wanted to understand.

And I know you are new and eager and I want to support because I liked the rom very much and want to use as daily driver for a long time.

Lockscreen issue has been reported with screenshot a few posts ago. I think I am not the only one and I don't use a launcher other than Rosie.

I tried to restart the phone after closing the auto time settings and data, wifi connection and the dialog didn't show. And interestingly after another restart with auto time and no wifi, data the time setting dialog didn't show again. I think the problem was a temporary thing.

Thanks again for the work and I am enjoying the progress.

RC 2 isn't released yet as in some final testing I ran into some bugs that need fixing. The main one left is that I broke the sound enhancer when I ported to the new base. I will get it done and out to testers asap but few things have come up limiting my time at the pc so it's taking longer than planned.

As for the questions about storage encryption, I haven't ever uses it so I have to admit this side of things is completely untested.
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
Can you please check the following whether it works or not in the future RC2 version: Settings / Call / Declined calls - even if it is unchecked I still receive the text message and reminder options for declined calls. As previously, I'm still on beta 2.01, so maybe it is already fixed, I just ran into it today.

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

The apps issue I suspect is related to the delay in the sdcard mounting, hopefully that will be solved in the next version as I have moved root explorer and xda app to the sdcard and the shortcuts still show up fine on the homescreens on reboot.

As for the power efficiency toggle in quicksettings, it seems that not all the code for that has been implemented by HTC, I suspect that the code that is there is in preparation for sense 4+. I will look at porting the rest of the code from sense 4+ after version 1 is released.

I don't even own this device, but I look trough this thread and it looks great! And for god sakes people, it has almost 1500 downloads, and just 82 people are nice enough to thank this guy!

I would like to use this post as a shoutout to the developer.

To show your appreciation, just smack that thanks button!

Maybe if even just the half of the commenters in here would press the thanks button, the dev's thanks counter would shoot up insanely fast!

So please guys, show some respect and hit that thanks button.

Hmm, are you on rc1, also what radio are you running, is it the 3831.19.00.110 (recommended) or an earlier one? Reason I ask is I am not running into any issue with the WiFi going into standby as far as I have noticed (although I am still testing rc2 right now but don't recall any issue with it on rc1 either.)

EDIT: I have retested rc1 and it is going to standby so my mistake on that one. It appears to be resolved in rc2 but I will thoroughly test it to be sure.

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

Okay after some poking around in the smali it looks as though HTC smartsync could well be the issue here. For those who don't know about this, it is a hidden feature that HTC added, with the intention of helping to save battery life by disabling the data connection of the phone when it was left idle for a period of time, (normally 15 to 20 minutes.) This should only kick in between 12am - 7am, however there are reports from several devices that sometimes this runs constantly and not just of a night time.

Now the normal solution is just to disable it completely within the framework and settings.apk and leave it at that. However, after a little thought this seems counter productive to me, as after all we are always looking for ways to save on battery power with our devices so to just remove a feature that allows us to do that seems daft, what is needed is control of the feature instead.

Thanks to one of the devs here on xda that control is already possible. If you go to the play store there is an app called smartsync disabler that will allow you to choose between the three states of smartsync, always on, only one at night (12am - 7am) or always off. I will contact the dev and see if he is happy for me to include this app with my Rom for rc2, or even maybe try to embed it within the settings themselves.
[HTC Desire S] MrFEr:
I don't have any issue with it but for battery saving purposes I'm using 'Battery widget reborn! BETA', it turns off every radio activity in an interval you set (from 11pm to 6am as a default setting).

It's a great tool available on the market and saved me a lot of battery (but it's tricky if you want to call a cab on Friday evening after a couple of beers and simply just don't understand why the damn phone refuses to call ANY number :D Than you figure out that you have to come back from airplane mode :D )

Cheers!

Yeah It's not the prettiest UI ever, but if you only want to turn it off forever, then you can use it to disable it and then uninstall as the effect is permanent, however having control is always a good thing to have.

I confirm that the Wi-Fi issue is gone. I woke up the phone after an hour and the Wi-Fi was active. The impact on the battery consumption seems irrelevant so I think it could be easily switched off without worries.

Maybe it could be useful some other feedback of different users to be more accurate.

Okay all, I am still having issues with a few errors that I'm not happy with, (they don't affect the performance as far as I can tell but they shouldn't be there.) However, RC2 has been delayed long enough so, I am going to restore the original desire x beats without the extended sound enhancer while I resolve some issues, and get rc2 out. I will do a flashable update once the sound enhancer is sorted for people who want it later.

Oh, something that might be of interest to those who don't about it, there is a some hidden power saver menu you can access in the ROM, was originally discovered by another xda member who's name I forget but all credits belong to them.

To access them you need to use an app like minimalist text that allows you to create shortcuts to actions. The following guide is for minimalist text but can be adapted for other similar apps.

Download minimalist text from the play store.

Once installed long press on the homescreen to pull up your widgets list and select the minimalist 1x1 widget.

You will now be shown the widget preferences, scroll down through the list and tick "start another activity" option listed under the"Tap behavior" section. This will enable the "Select an activity or a shortcut" option.

Tap the "Select an activity or shortcut" option then scroll down through the list under the activity tab and tap on settings.

In the drop down list that is now showing scroll down to the "Power saver settings" and select it, then tap OK.

Now when you tap the widget on your home screen it will open up the power saver settings tab where you can adjust things to your preference.

There is some debate as to when these settings kick in, but it is believed to be between 15-20% battery remaining. I plan to try and add these into the settings menu, perhaps under the battery option for release.

thantos, any reason to keep that "Show Me" app in? Isn't that some useless bloatware?

To be honest, it never worked for me. After launching, it's not able to download any content. It appears also as a sync adaptor, but it never downloads anything, though it keeps communication over data connection.

Maybe you could move it from \system to \data, so one could remove it, without needing to dig with a root explorer...

This could just be a HTC linkify dispatcher issue as I forgot to include the relevant build.prop entries, which are

ro.da1.enable=false

ro.da1.method=false

Try adding those to the build.prop and links should hopefully work correctly, although I am not 100% convinced we have this issue as for example web links will offer me a choice between browsers, but it doesn't hurt to try. plus bear in mind cm10 is JB where as this is ics

After one week on CM 10.1 I am back on this ROM and I would say it is as smooth as project Butter.
