Re: [ROM][22 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

Hello,

First post here, so, before all, thanks for your great jobs !

But unfortunately i think i have an issue with the version 1. Current location (time and weather) doesn't seem to be refresh, even when i hit the update button. The city wherein i flash version 1 stay while i just move about 300km today.

Does Anyone have the same problem ?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hmm, mines been fine? are you sure its not just set to a specific location? (try removing the widget and readding it,) mines been able to follow where I am well enough (once I got a location fix that is.)

R: [ROM][22 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

I come from ICE DS 6.5 hboot 0.98 radio 20.76

To do a perfect clean install of this rom I have to (correct if I'm wrong)

1- change hboot (which one is best between the compatible hboots?)

2- full wipe

3- format sd (which way is best?)

4- flash this rom

No need of changing radio after changing hboot
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I will continue to investigate the lockscreen issue, but as I cant reproduce the issue I cant promise any quick answers, but I will try everything I can to find out what is going on for you. Can I ask though that if you are restoring anything, apps, data or settings with anything like titanium backup or similar, you flash the next update, (which will be posted up shortly after a full wipe, (system, data, cache, davlik cache) and run it for a while and see if the problem continues. If it doesn't then it's probably something that your restoring that is the culprit and the only way to find out whats responsible is to restore things one by one and see when the issue reoccurs.

The reason I ask this is that due the low level differences between this rom restoring data with apps can cause problems, for example, when I try to restore my xda app from backup it works for a short time then suddenly it starts force closing, but it I install it fresh from the market it works perfectly, so even restoring something seemingly benign can have unexpected results.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Now, I had said that I wouldn't be releasing a new update again this week, but figured this latest fix was to good to leave.

I have always suspected that the issues with the sense 4 camera (stills whilst shooting, face capture, smile capture) was definitely a lib issue rather than any hardware limitation and had periodically tried different libs with other roms in the past with results ranging from breaking the camera to it taking a still while filming but then corrupting the video file but had never really pursued it to hard, till I read the remarks in the viper forum of a fully working camera.

I started of trying the camera.apk posted in the viper forum but that wouldn't even start properly for me, so I began downloading onto my phone every rom I could lay my hands on and began copying and pasting libs back and forth with root explorer, and after several hours of reboots, reflashing and pouring through logs. (highly recommend catlog from the market btw, it ability to record and show back a section of the logcat is damn useful for debugging a specific problem.) I present to you :-

Desire XS Beta 1.6

With 100% working camera, thats

Face recognition

Smile capture

Grab stills while shooting video

Burst shooting

Panoramic

HDR

so on and so forth. now this is experimental so I cant promise it is 100% bug free but thought that you all perhaps might like to try it.;) Oh and I have remebered to include the correct camera.apk this time, (its the one from lowvelds fallout rom.) so burst capture and HD mode are back.

Also I cant really take to much credit for this fix as I all I have done is switch some libs round, it was just a case of finding the right ones to go together.

Due to the changes in this libs I would advise that you perform a full wipe before this time round before installing. You can try just a cache and dalvik cache wipe, but if you run into any bugs then please try a full wipe and see if they are fixed as your first port of call

Also to help debugging, if you do have an issue, please install Catlog from the market (the free version) use it record function, to start recording the logcat (you need to use the widget for its record function. reproduce the results, then stop the recording, where it will save it onto your sdcard and upload it somewhere so I can see what is happening. this will enable me to come up with solutions for specific issues for people much quicker.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
No, I don't restore any app or data with titanium backup or anything else. And also I flash every rom with full format and wipe, even yours. Anyway, I will flash your new release and see what will change. I will report if any issues.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Good job. No issues so far and everything seems to work fine. I am not using lockscreen shortcuts, so no feedback on that. Thank you for your work

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Btw guys, don't know why I didn't think of it sooner but if you got to settings/display and buttons, then recent apps button you can switch it so that a single press of menu brings up the menu and a long press brings up the recent apps list which people might find easier.
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
And again... i need to thank developer. I have never seen so fast camera on sense 4, burst shooting mode is smooth like a butter!!! Camera works PERFECTLY
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Well just to cover every eventuality I even tried switching skins to see if the lockscreen icons vanished and there still there. Can you do me a favor and try the simplest fix of all, go into personalize, and untick, then retick the show lockscreen icons option and see what happens.

I have the same problem on the sense 4.1 based on ONE SU (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011380 ) .On this rom,wifi hotspot and data usage doesn't work properly on my phone.

I don't know why.My phone is unlocked by xtc-clip.

PS this rom is much smooooooooooooooooooooother than the ROM based on ONE SU.That ROM is too "heavy" for our phone.

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

ah,new build is released!Will try the wifi hotspot.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Well I know that for bootloaders that have been unlocked by HTC-dev you need to flash the boot.img for the Rom after you've flashed the Rom via fastboot with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or they have issue's with WiFi. Could be you need to do the same thing.

You know, as a side note, it occurs to me that this is the first sense 4 rom for the Desire S, here on xda at least, (know there was that kanged rom but that breached XDA rules so not counting that as an XDA rom) that actually has a 100% fully working camera :D bloody chuffed with that for my first ever port.:victory:
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
You've worked on it a lot, so i think it's right that exactly you gave a 100% working camera for our device. :good:

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Stupid computer decided to crash during my last reply.

1- any of the new hboots should be fine, personally I'm on 2.00.2002

2- Always the best option with a new rom

3- I just use 4ext recovery, but tbh the installer will remove all the files that relate to android its self during install if you choose full wipe

4- I am finishing up version 1.1, hopefully have it ready and uploaded in a couple of hours (its taken me longer than I thought because of issues with the aroma script, but I promised it would be up tonight.)

If after you have flashed the rom you get currotion with the camera @5mp then yes you'll need to update the radio, if not then you should be fine.

Re: [ROM][22 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

Christ this has taken a hell of alot longer than I expected. I still need to do a little more testing but it is all looking good so far. Unfortunately my pc has gone down again, (I think it's just over heating) so it looks like I'm going to have to wait till first thing to get it uploaded, (won't be that long, it's 4:20 here, and I have to be leaving for the hospital by 8:00.).

Changes for 1.1 are:-

GPS.conf scripts have finished there travels and are now actually in the Rom.zip

The correct Romanian fonts have kick out the old ones and have made themselves at home, this means that the dialectics in third party keyboards should show correctly. However, despit several scuffles the HTC keyboard stubbornly refuses to show them. It will have been beaten into submission by the next patch.

Someone finally rescued the the notification drag bar from the rack its been strapped to, and after a quick spruce up its looking it's normal self again.

Friendstream has decided not to insist on always being so attached to Facebook and Twitter, and after some discussion, they have found away to give space to each other when needed. This means you can choose from the following in the installer:-

Friendstream + Twitter + Facebook

Friendstream + Twitter

Friendstream + Facebook

Facebook + Twitter (no Friendstream)

Facebook only

Twitter only

Nothing at all (for the really unsocial, like myself.:D)

The status bar has been feeling generous all of a sudden and has decided that 2 options on install wasn't enough to satisfy everyone, so to try and cover all bases you'll now be offered the following:-

Fully Stock, (no mods at all.)

QuickSettings only

Battery Mod only

Carrier Name always shown only

QuickSettings + Battery Mod

QuickSettings + Battery Mod + Carrier Name

Battery Mod + Carrier Name

QuickSettings + Carrier Name

The aroma script realised that sometimes people like to change their mind, and alter what they installed with the Rom. So now when you dirty flash the Rom it will automatically remove any unwanted default apps from the last time you flashed the Rom. (the aroma would like you to note that this will only work on the installed apps and not on updates from the market, it advises that you uninstall any updates first before running the script.)

Patched kernel felt a bit left out, and after throwing a tantrum has been allowed to join b2b kernel in the installer, just be careful when playing with patched, its been reported that he could possibly be a bit grumpy sometimes.

After getting a little self concious over its extra size the "reboot to recovery" icon has gone to a slimming camp for a bit, one of the more traditional icons has stepped in to cover it position till it gets back.

The record button in Notes has stopped sucking its stomach in after it realised it look ridiculous and looks like its normal self again, which we've assured it looks much better.

As I say I will get it uploaded first thing when hopefully my pc will behave itself, and not decide to reboot every 10 mins.

Does anyone use friendstream+twitter ? I don't know why but I can't seem to find some refresh time setting or push notification for it. It does refresh itself but it takes more than 2h to do it, and by that time I already have passed the important tweets that I follow. Shouldn't be some setting to alter the refresh time ? Or better, push notifications ? Original twitter has push notifications, why on earth twitter for htc doesn't ? Did I missed something ?

Network works fine, I receive all other push notifications that I have set, but for friendstream+twitter doesn't seem to work ok.

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Re: [ROM][22 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

Well the bottom drag bar deformed simply because it was recompiled and recompiled, and the Desire X doesn't have HtcNotes so that had to come from else where.
[HTC Desire S] logo123:
wait.... v1.1:)

Does anyone else experiencing a lot of HTC Sense crashes? I mean, after I use just about any kind of apps, when I close them, my phone greets me with a loading screen, and then the homescreens loads, then I can go on using the phone. It happens a lot more after using ram heavy apps, but it just crashed after opening gmail for 2 secs, so yea, it is pretty random. Anybody else got them, or is it just me?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
hmm your the second person who has reported this to me, can you try to grab a logcat of it happening for me.

No problems here either. I've hard tried all the apps that I've had installed before v1 and none of them have problems now.

R: [ROM][25 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1.1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

Does v1.1 need full wipe when coming from v1?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
nope, if you choose differrent install options from the last install it will delete the unwanted apps from the last install. (I believe that this is the first rom zip that will do that.) Feel free to reflash and try different configurations all day without ever wiping (Excpet if there is ever a major base change.)

On that note, if anyone does a reflash because they installed something they decided they didn't want, and it isn't removed by the installer, please let me know so I can fix it. (this wont work on updates from the market though, only the original files installed by the rom, although I may have away around that for the next version.)

for those who might want to play with this feature, a really good way to see it inaction is changing the social options each flash.)
[HTC Desire S] ceptrus:
Thanks thanks thanks :D

i'm downloading right now the v1.1, but is so slow that i'm gona die :(

Oh, btw all I will upload a zip with tweaked XI for any that would like to use it.
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
Tweaked 9 was much more stable then XI , when i used it before,,
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Bollox, just remembered that I forgot to change the hboot number to the correct one in the installer.:mad:

first option should be 7.00.1002 or 2.00.2002 or

2.00.002

second option is the correct one for 2.00.0002. sorry for letting that one slip by again

OKay this is weird, I could have sworn I uploaded the copy on my desktop, which is the one I'm using and works perfectly, only thing I can think is I managed to somehow upload an earlier version that I had been bug fixing.

[HTC Desire S] jarmal:
I'd suggest to put md5 checksum under download links in first post to avoid broken download/upload problems and to verify 3rd party mirrors.

Also there is no boot.img in root folder of zip anymore. Maybe you could give some extra information for htc-dev unlocked users that new kernel is under extra\Kernel directory (to fastboot flash boot).

I am working on Desire SV now, its a case of its ready when its ready I'm afraid.

With regards to the next update for Desire XS, Most bugs are hopefully gone now, what is left is things that need coding edits doing. what I hope to achieve for 1.2 is

Successfully port music box into the rom. (I will only release if I can get this 100% working in all eq profiles and with no pops, clicks etc occuring.)

Work code in the camera.apk to try and improve image quality further.

Try and find why the sdcard gets unmounted and remounted on reboot and fix it.

Modify the sense keyboard to show dialectics correctly.

I think these will finish the rom of nicely, and put it into a position when any further updates would just be tweaking a few things here and there. As for when the update will be, the standard rules will apply, its done when its done ;)
