[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Yeah, it turns out that some newer versions of apps have issue with some of the 'tweaks' that are commonly used in build.prop entries, As it turns out a lot of these 'tweaks' really don't do anything positive in newer versions of android, In the new version the build.prop is going to be pretty stock, with just some media tweaks that have been proven to still be viable to use in android 4.+ This will ensure that people wont run into random problems such as this any more.

In fact here is the proposed change log coming from RC1 to RC2, but may be subject to change of course.

Base has grown up and is now 1.18.401.1

Your Carrier will no longer scream for your attention by permanently sitting in the notification bar yelling "here I am, here I am" (there will be flashable zip available that will invite it back if they find they miss it.)

As all it wanted to do was sit there and look pretty, Quicksettings has given the Power Efficiency toggle a slap and sent it packing for the time being. (I believe this code is there ready to be implemented in Sense 4+, I may look at porting the rest of the code from 4+ to get it working once once I release version 1.)

Build.prop redone, no more black screens in certain apps

extra files that had taken up residence in the /system/bin have all been evicted

services.jar has been given some fuss and now no longer feels the need to randomly throw errors at things to get attention

the free version of dropsync will no longer have a hissy fit over not having the pro key is installed and start doing what its supposed to. (hey, I had a blond moment on a system dump, guess I should stop working on the rom at 4:30 in the morning after a bottle of rum.)

Apps such as GPS Status and toolbox will once again believe that we have a compass.

friendstream has stopped sulking and will now allow you to add you twitter account.

aroma installer decided that just clumping all the apps into big bundles was perhaps a little lazy, and now offers a listing of all the apps so you can can decide exactly what extras take up residence in your phone

The GPS thought it might be nice to at least know which continent its starting on, so has convinced aroma to let you choose where you are during install.

Bluetooth has spawned some new profiles and has reluctantly conceded that it should identify itself as saga not as VilleC2, hopefully it will no longer snub certain car kits.

Google Now has doubled its wardrobe and offers a choice of original or inverted outfits when you install it.

the injuries to the music app in RC1 have been healed so you can once again choose what app is shown in the bottom right of the car app.

After advice from its creator B2B kernel has moved in to run everything, I will make up some flashable zips with the latest patched verson if people want them, but patched can be a bit grumpy and sometimes throws tantrums.

Fed up with being crowed the libs folder has moved out from the system partition and into the system_lib partition where it can stretch its legs.

The rest of the system partition on seeing how comfy the libs where also decided to strech out and is now fully odexed.

Fed up with hearing what a crap job they where doing the camera and media profiles have got together and done what they can to try and improve picture quality, this has resulted in an increase in the jpeg files weight to warn those that perhaps might be watching there sd space.

about a million other little things that I'm forgetting right now.

I am looking at this manifest bug in framework res to ensure its not going to cause issues further down the line, and also looking to speak to the mount service about some errors it has to see if it will speed up sdcard mount times during boot before I hand the rom of to the testers so they can try and destroy it.
