I will be honest its been a while since I tested the GPS so I will have another look. Have you tried using GPS status from the market at all?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
If you can give me just a little time I will have a look, just atm I am in the middle of sorting auto brightness levels for those that have been waiting and trying to find the bug that is causing task manager in quick settings to show the wrong memory values.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Glad to hear your enjoying the rom, in the next update I will be reverting the recent apps back to standard with people who want to have the fullscreen recent apps able to flash it as an addon, that way people a choice on which way they want to go.

@calator40, did you try reflashing the Rom? Did it help with the auto focus at all or do you still have problems? Also did you check that force gpu rendering was disabled on dev options as that seems to be causing people all sorts of weird and wonderful issues.
[HTC Desire S] spavian:
I have disabled force gpu , cleared dalvik and cache , the problem is still there . After a wile the image becomes corrupted .
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I just wanted to thank all of you using this Rom for your patience in waiting for me to update with fixes for the bugs you come across, I will always do my best to answer any queries you post up and try to keep you informed on progress and what I'm upto so you are fully aware of what's happening. If you ever post a query and I haven't responded on the thread bit have to people who have posted something after you, then feel free to pm me explaining the issue and pointing towards your original post, because as close as I try to keep an eye on comments its always possible I may accidentally miss something.

Unfortunately bug hunting is a little slow atm as I am literally having to research something pretty much as I do it, (did you know for example that the systemui.apk alone has somewhere around 300 smali files in it:eek:). But as time is going by and I'm learning where things are and how to manipulate them properly you will hopefully see bug fixes arriving a lot quicker.:D
[HTC Desire S] talktoraj83:
Waooo.....so quick revert..i will be waiting
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Erm just to check are you on about recent apps mapped to the search key or having a search key in the notification panel? Sorry but my P.O.T.S. is playing up today so my brain is having trouble thinking clearly, want to be sure exactly what it is your after.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
I think he means being able to expand the notification area by pressing the search key (in stead of pulling the notification bar down). Not quite sure, but i think that's what was meant.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Right, okay, well have not done that before, so will take me a bit as will need to go through the smali in order to see how to implement it first, bare with me and I will see what I can do.
[HTC Desire S] talktoraj83:
You have hit the right spot..actually my screen digitizer is not working at the top so not able to pull down notification bar and hence want you to map notification bar pulling event with search key.Hope i make sense
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah, get it now, will have a look but as I say not done it before so will need to have a look through the smali and see how to implement it first. I will try to get it sorted as quickly as I can though.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
Have you changed anything with bluetooth in beta 2.

car handsfree worked in v 1.6 but I cant hear other party in v2. they can hear me

I always do full wipe and fresh install
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Damn didn't touch anything, seems that some of the changes have definatly caused a few glitches. I will be uploading an update a bit later that has had the lib partition cleaned up and a few bug fixes so hopefully that will resolve the issues that have cropped up. In the meantime I will see if I can figure out what's going.
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Had this problem, too, the fix is to go to recovery, and then wipe cache + dalvik and then fix permission. after a clean install, let the ROM boot up, open up the camera, take some test pic/vid, let it become corrupted, and then fix the permission. Happened to me in 1.6 and now 2.0 after clean install, but fixing permission seems to solve this..

and I can use all the camera modes after fixing permission..
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay guy assuming I haven't screwed up the config on aroma and it installs fine for me, I will be uploading an update in about an hour. Changes will be:-

Cleaned out lib partition and all apps that can be downloaded from the app store removed from /system partition, users will now have around 70MB of free space in /system to play with (That is assuming you install all the additional mods.)

Tidied up build.prop, a number of tweaks have been removed while I go through and see which ones are really needed.

Auto brightness levels adjusted, those who had problems please test and let me know if they need tweaking further.

Removed Network Selection and settings from Quick settings, we're not a cdma device

Install is now aroma scripted so people can choose mods at install.

A few bits and pieces I have probably forgotten about.

This is the first time I have ever scripted aroma so please ensure you backup before installing just in case (I would also backup your sdcard after you backup your rom to be double safe, unlikely that anything that bad would happen but never hurts to be over cautious. The script will offer to do a full wipe, I would advise you use it as it will also clear out some files on your sdcard that are used by the system.

I have taken the system dump from my phone where everything seems to be working fine so hopefully bugs will be to a minimum and everything will work as it should for everybody.

Oh also this script is a little rough and it occurs to me that some apps I perhaps should have had left singular in the options menu of the installer,(such as Gmail and youtube) if people let me know what apps in particular they would like to be able to choose individaly, I will update the script accordingly for the next release (which if all goes well and people no longer report camera issues etc I hope to be at least the RC version.)

EDIT

Okay, it looks like there is a bug in the script somewhere, files weren't copied to /data/app correctly. I will sort out whats happening and get the update uploaded once I know that's sorted.

EDIT 2

Morning all, I have sorted the issues and have begun uploading, expect the OP to be updated with new links in the hour.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Hmm, just noticed something strange as I was fighting with the camera on my one v port with your camera libs ;)

If I set the camera to 4:3 mode instead of wide screen, it keeps crashing when changing other settings
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Not having any problems switching from one to the other here, switched off widescreen, changed settings all was fine, so left camera app, wen back in, played with the settings some more, took a picture, switched back to wide screen pput the settings back how they were took anouther picture, no crashes.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
are you using the one one v port camera.app, might be worth using the original libcameraapp.so lib from the one v if you are, I'm not sure if your supposed to have that actually match the camera.apk your using. (never really tested, tbh, it worked so I stopped messing. ;) )

Edit scratch that, haven't had enough coffee yet, my port is using the camer.apk from fallout so it should be the one v camera.apk anyway. In which case I'm not sure why your having troubles. did you switch out the media_profiles file in /system/etc, and I think you also need to drop a file in there called voVidDec.dat

(nothing like hiting the wrong button and quoting yourself is there.)

Is the logcat telling you anything btw?

Tell you what, I HATE the way virgin media cap your upload speed, 30Mb download is great, but 0.5mb upload is painful

First post updated, change log in second post as usual
[HTC Desire S] userdesires:
Personally haven't had any issues with the camera and I've used it a lot over the last couple of days, only issue was with viber which was solved by switching off the force gpu rendering.looking forward to New update.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah the issue of gpu rendering being on by default should now be fixed. (thank you for reminding me, I'll add that to the change log.)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay cant upload to hotfile after all as you need a premium account for files over 400Mb. For those who have trouble with Dev-host I will find another upload site and then add the link to the first post asap.

In the meantime those who can down load please let me know how the new rom performs and whether the auto brightness needs tweaking any more. I have tested the camera, gps etc fully and have not run into a single issue anywhere. (GPS got a solid lock on 7 satellites within about 4mins just sat lent against the front room window from a cold start while it was snowing outside, I reckon that should just about cover the gps working ;) ). The only thing I am unable to test 100% is the bluetooth as I dont have a bluetooth headset or bluetooth enabled car(mainly because, I don't have a car:silly:) so if someone can report back and confirm that the issue that appeared in beta 2.0 is resolved that would be great.
[HTC Desire S] dan_alexandre:
Appreciated, especially about the GPS part hehe.. will give feedback once i manage to test the rom :)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
4shared link added to the first post, let me know if people have any problems with it
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
sadly bluetooth still not working :(
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay can you please pull a logcat for me so I can see what's happening, hopefully I will be able to get a quick sorted quickly

Actually can you try pulling the build.prop from 1.6 and pushing it to the new build and see if that fixes it. (if you dont have 1.6 I will upload a flashable zip for you to try.)
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
Very good man! Love this! Thread becomes more and more popular :good:
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
can you try flashing the following and see if it fixes the bluetooth pls flythewiz

http://www.4shared.com/zip/ttcQzwk4/buildprop.html
[HTC Desire S] dan_alexandre:
GPS back to normal, locked and didn't reset... :good:

Good work! :)
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
Thantos, i can say that rom is smoother than 2.0 version, subway serfers now works perfectly!!
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Glad to hear its running well, can someone who is able to test Bluetooth calling please flash the zip I linked a couple of posts back and let me know of it works at all. Also how is auto brightness now, any better.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
First of all: this version still thinks it's beta 1. Needs fix immediately. ;) ;) ;)

Seriously: The aroma installer installs the stock Twitter app even though I chose not to install it. Not a major problem but you probably might want to know.

Apart from that: Looks good, works well, smooth as butter. :good:
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay thanks for that, will check what's happening with Twitter, was that the only app that glitches on the install?

Oh and the reason it thinks that's its beta 1 is because I keep forgetting to change the build prop, and far to lazy to sort it out when I remember half way through upload.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
The Google apps and the "other apps" works as selected in the installer. No problems with those.

Very nice you disabled the screenshot framework in build.prop. No need to change that manually after the first boot. :)

Oh, and while we're at it, could you make the Facebook app an optional install as well? Would be very cool.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Oh, by the way all don't forget to lete know which of the bundled apps you would like to see have there own install option in aroma.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah, I will at some point look at setting screenshot to power + vol down so it doesn't interfere with the sweep 2 wake, but as you have a screenshot option in the power menu it really isn't a priority at the moment.
[HTC Desire S] zacman:
that's it man. this is the perfect camera performans until now. fast continious shooting, panoroma and photo quality is very good. only i think there is a little bug in panoroma --> panoroma rectangle box is going upper side during taking photo but not important it's working. And lastly i did not see or find where can i change main home screen count mini profile widget. if you can make a little adjust about changing homescreen count and when pressing home button all home screens comes all together one screen, and homescreens turning continiously functions can be able, your rom will be first number in this side. thanks again friend. very good job.
[HTC Desire S] elektraaaaaa:
Hello.

Clean Install?

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Glad to hear the cameras working great, that just leaves Bluetooth calling and I think we will certainly have it as a release candidate.

As for the things you request in Rosie, they are features of full sense rather than sense lite. I may see if they can be enabled just with a switch on the Rosie app, in which case I may release as a mod that people can try to see if it effects performance at all. However, if it is a case, as I suspect it might be, that it requires some major framework mods then I wouldn't do it I'm afraid as the impact on performance would defiantly become very noticeable.

However, that doesn't mean people won't be seeing a full sense port from me once this port is fully stable.
[HTC Desire S] zacman:
hi thantos24, lastly i could not see any file explorer. ithink you forget. but if you can able homescreen spesifications it will be very good. and don't forget mini profile widget. AND YOUR CAMERA APP DON'T GİVE ANY BLUE SCREEN FAULT WHEN HD PLAYING. THIS IS BIG WORK... Bluetooth seems working but i did not connect my car system yet. only can be tomorrow morning...

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

i will loading file explorer fom my backup. it seems will not be problem for people.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hi elektraaaaaa, would advise a clean install as I have removed a lot of excess files, if you let the aroma install do the wipe for you it will also wipe some folders on your sdcard that are used by the system as well that can have old data sitting in them. (just remember to back up first.)
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah the Bluetooth seems to work fine for file transfers but someone reported am issue in calls, if you do come across a problem with Bluetooth calling there is a file I posted a page or two back that I'm waiting for someone to test and get back to me on whether or not it resolves the problem.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
Hi

I will try the buildprop but I cant tonight I am afraid so it will have to be tomorrow (unless somebody else can try in the meantime)

The download link on 4shared requires a sign in and I am not going to register. not a problem for me as I will take it from 1.6 as suggested, but thought you might like to know
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay thanks for letting me know. I hadn't realised you would have to register with 4 share I'll have a look around for some where else to upload to.
[HTC Desire S] zacman:
hi thantos, could we get a mini patch or mod about profile widget and homescreen specifications? and i could not find lockscreen selections and live weather conditions and volüme buton control for camer focus (this is very easiest when using cam.). in my opinion these properties is mostly wanted for users, because sense is being beatiful with these againts the other model phones. please think these. and thanks again this best rom...
[HTC Desire S] dan_alexandre:
On GPS-Status & toolbox, got a compass error and it doesn't detect directions right.. North for me.. is more like east :p

Edit:

"This phone does not have a compass sensor. Compass functions will be disabled in the program."
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah sorry I Forget to add to the bug list when it popped up for me. Not sure of the cause just yet. Did you attempt to try and calibrate it and see if it the worked correctly?

I asked because when it popped up for me this morning I run the calibration tool in GPS status and Maps seems to be showing me facing the right direction
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Compass is working fine for me...
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Thanks for the reply, it's a bit more complicated than that, as I'm porting from a newer one v ruu than the one fallout is based on, trying different combinations of apk, libs, /system/bin/ files etc. at the moment. Good thing is, it's keeping me occupied ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan_alexandre:
Calibration worked, directions are fine again. Thanks :)

No worries, just giving feedback of anything i find :p I can live without a compass :good:
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah, it's something that seems to pop up with GPS status on first run. I got the exact same message when I first run it this morning, I just run the compass calibration tool and its fine now.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah it's good fun when you start digging into it, (and at the same time can get really frustrating when you can't quite pin down a bug.) Soon as I have this stable I'm going to be working on a full sense port so people can have something with all the bells and whistles. Will be called the Desire SU. A little hint there as to what the base will be from.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hey feedback is always welcome, can't fix things if people don't tell me what's broken.

It's looking like the Bluetooth is the only outstanding real bug left, most things people seem to be saying about now are just eye candy and personal preference things so if nothing else crops up, then once the Bluetooth is sorted again I will tidy up the aroma script and might even skip the RC stage and release as 1st edition and just add the mods from there.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I have to be honest I thought I had the missing widgets this time, but plan to pull together all the HTC widgets I can, then collect together all the ones that work with sense 4 lite and upload them into the themes and apps section so people have an easy place they can get any they are missing for any Rom they might be on. I will of course include them by default in this Rom so that should ensure none are missed.

As for some of the other features, zoom with volume keys in the camera app is something I will look into.

The live weather videos though actually require quite a few changes to the Rom to work so I will need to see how much is involved and what kind of impact that will have. This wasn't ever intended to have all the eyecandy of a full sense 4 Rom, after all we already have a couple of sense 4 lite roms with the full lockscreen, weather app, etc etc in fall out and sabsa. Instead this was meant to offer a light weight alternative that offered fluid performance at the cost of the extra eye candy, which atm I believe it has achieved rather well. That's not to say I flatout will not consider the ideas, but it will come down to whether I feel that by adding these things to the Rom they compromise the original goal I set out for this Rom initially. All I can say at this point is that these things are something I am looking into but, will only appear in this particular Rom providing I feel they don't have a negative impact on the overall performance.

As for being able to increase the number of home screens that is something I will dig into and see if I can get implemented for a future release.
[HTC Desire S] zacman:
thanks for all interests Thantos friend...
[HTC Desire S] userdesires:
Had to run the calibration through GPS status myself.only issue I have left is the sensitivity of the sensor for the backlight keys, still won't come on in a dimly lit room, has to be pitch black for them to switch on or cover with hand.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay, will have a look at the levels either later this evening or tomorrow morning and post up a patch for you to test with. I'll just bump the level by 1 each time till we get the right balance, don't want them on too early as its just a battery drain.

You know I can't help wondering if they used different light sensors in some models like they used different screens, because for some people the levels seem to work fine while they cause other people issue's

Are people finding the screen autobrightness levels acceptable with the new build or do they still need tweaking?
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
Just tried 2.01 with 1.6 build prop. after full wipe and not installing anything else.

Still no sound :(

Can you post a link to 1.6 full rom again and I will try that, just to make sure it was actually working. Although I am pretty sure it was.
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
FWIW, I am still on the previous 2.0 version (coming from 1.6) and do not have issues with BT on my car kit.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Sure you can download it from http://d-h.st/Z5y
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
So you still have calls working fine? No problems with the Mic?
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
It's not the mic thats the problem. The other person can hear me, but i can't hear them
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Oh, right I thought it was the other way round, sorry. Does music play through okay?

Actually, I don't know if you've tried this already, but if not could you try turning the in call volume all the way down and then back again while you on a call through the Bluetooth and see what happens.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Just out of curiosity, can you confirm that the incoming sound is really dead, or if it is actually being routed to the earphone as if the Bluetooth device wasn't there?

And for a long shot: Are you running UCS?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
You know it's a damn shame you can't use a second android phone as a Bluetooth receiver for calls, if you could I have 3 phones here with unlimited free calls between them, could set one up as the receiver to my desire s and then call the desire with the 3rd one. Would make testing the Bluetooth alot simpler.

Hmm, thinking about it, I have a bluetooth dongle for my pc laying around somewhere, wonder of it would allow me to route audio through my pc.
[HTC Desire S] userdesires:
I'll test on the wifes built in Bluetooth in the car tomorrow.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay thank you, have different reports atm about whether it working or not so need to figure out if this is a common problem or an isolated case.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
How about something similar as the installer for Sabsa Prime: create a "don't bother me, give me all" install option for those that want all apps and a second option that asks the user for each app whether he/she wants to skip it. If nothing is selected in this second option the result should be the same as option one.

What do you think?
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Aroma installer in 2.01 installed Twitter and full screen recent apps in spite of not checking the checkbox.

Installing gapps in aroma installed google play movies and books which is a surprise for me. I uninstalled them instantly. They were not included in previous releases.

No auto backlight issue still continues for me. Just reporting.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Did you do a full wipe through aroma before install, as I tested fullscreen recent apps personally and it worked fine, Twitter I need to see what I did wrong there though. For gapps I will be splitting them up a bit in the next revision so that you can individually pick the main apps like gmail and then choose to add the extras if you want.

For the backlights I will be uploading a mod for people to test in a short while.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Recent apps worked for me as selected (full wipe in 4EXTrecovery).
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Yes, I flashed the rom after full format and wipe. I did not checked full screen recent apps, I aimed to use stock android recent apps but it appears that HTC recent apps is installed.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hmm, okay will have a look and see if I can see what is happening
