Re: [ROM][GB] Farrago! v3 by vigoos + Guide to flash

Firstly sorry for the long break.

After some alpha testing here is what I conclude-

A. CM base ROM s are not too good. I agree v3 has some major bugs. I tried doing things back from stock but still status bar issue got no fix. Thus I shall have to move back to sense base.

B. Sense base ROM has a heaviness factor to it. So for that adrenaline engine was good. But something better is needed like a perflock disabled and scalable governors both min and max set on 800 mHz or customizable so as to save battery. I tried this experiment on my salsa and found out that this works quite well. Speed is good. So I'll try to make a custom kernel with scalable governor. Beats audio drivers will be included. Im not too happy with sound quality in stock. Nowhere close to my Tab 2.

C.I will be including a NON-transparent status bar because user is having hassles with transparent status bar.

D. Messaging app will not be messaging 7 because I got a report stating that it is buggy.

E. Zeam launcher will be the launcher. Its fast. Ill also include a custom WhatsApp application I picked up from XDA.

F. ETA- 24 hours. Cant depend too much on UOT. And thats the only method I'm comfortable with. I completely use linux now.

Something is coming......
[HTC Salsa] kashttl:
Dont you think the xperia looking launcher would be amazing? i mean i have one which has all features as in xperia phones.... even transitions and it can set with 4 options:

1)Only 4 corners

2)Only dock bar

3)dock bar and 2 corners

4) dock bar and 4 corners..

amazing it looks...!!!

And please consider bravia engine...!!!

Re: [ROM][GB] Farrago! v3 by vigoos + Guide to flash

Zeam launcher is much faster. You can always install whichever launcher you like bro.

Im still searching for bravia engine man. But dont worry. Lemme try running gta3 on v4. I am just testing v4 and it is to some extent faster than my moms gnex and my tab 2.

Sorry for disturbing but one last doubt-

Can we do all of this in farrago? (without any damage ofc :P )
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Re: [ROM][GB] Farrago! v3 by vigoos + Guide to flash

Yep. You can. Just get rom toolbox pro or pimp my rom and enjoy. But please put practical values and not any random number.

P.S- Ask how much you want. No problem at all. I never get disturbed by questions. Rather I like answering them :)

Re: [ROM][GB] Farrago! v4 by vigoos + Guide to flash

Stock facebook android app is too slow and heavy. Hence not included. Try this then- http://db.tt/a2PbF9Hr

Facebook fastbrowser. No ads nothing.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
on rooted ad-free androids u don't get ads in Facebook anyway lol.

Please note if u use Pimp My Rom, which i do. get the recovery package BEFORE your mod it. I've been using it for awhile now and I've actually damaged my rom plying with it to much! Damaged i mean, lost my 3g signal and mobile internet, screwed up the WiFi, and where it says faster web browsing, lol yeah right oh.

Most other tweaks work. But if you mod without the recovery package then its your loss!

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I'm gonna question this......How? My Perflock disabler removes it and sets perm locked gov & speeds. You cannot change these, they may look like they do but there automatic depending on your function at the time. so screen on, pow full speed, low battery and its slows it right down. It will increase battery life considerably.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
a. The app I put link is a facebook fastbrowser I made.

b. When a user starts Pimp my ROM, a disclamer appears.

c. I modded frequency while cooking this build-

SLEEPING=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep`
if [ $SLEEPING = "sleeping" ]; then
echo $SLEEP_GOVERNOR > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo "480000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo "480000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
log -p i -t screenstate_scaling "*** sleeping ***: switching CPU frequency governor to -> $SLEEP_GOVERNOR"
SLEEPING=
fi
done &)

I set sleeping frequency to 480000 unlike 245760 in the zip. So response is seemingly faster.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
ok Now your phone will be faster, but will never sleep. i set lower to allow battery consumption to be reduced, but now all you have done is left the phone at normal screen on. We designed this over a 3 week period to perfection. so all you have done is allowed your rom to activate lightning speed. i know cos we tried all this over a year ago. you should have said before pinching it and modifying it lol.

reason the settings were enabled like they are in this perflock disabler.

Battery consumption.

Allows phone to sleep better. We did test going lower and it didn't perform well, sometimes didn't respond so this final setup was created.

These current mods will NOT allow your phone to sleep or slow down when screen of now. it will constantly be Normal screen on mode.

I'm installing this to see if my patch works. Also gonna sort the perflock out too, so I've already modified files in my version that im installing.

Feedback: Due to the holo look, text is not clear in the statusbar and it doesnt seem to show much difference. And whatsapp is not working. ANd the internal memory seems to be too less than expected without data2sd (which is not much of a problem). Lock screen is very amazing. The file manager could be changed to es as it is more fast , stable and with a lot of options. The lockscreen is very lovable. And as previously said some other launcher would be better.

Rest of the tthings are pretty amazing :D

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ----------

And also keyboard can be changed to smart keyboard pro. Its got amazing features and themes.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Thanks for feedback.

For the status bar bb has developed a patch. It will be included in v5.

Whatsapp stock app will be included in v5. Looks like even you have problems with whatsapp. It is a user app. You can easily uninstall it.

NOTE- whatsapp was in data/app folder so it can be uninstalled easily.

MI is a full file explorer. I used ES in v2 but was a bit disappointing. So File Manager will also change.

Zeam is the fastest launcher in market. But then let me search for something better. I need a partial launcher and not an adw or go.

If it is a Smart keyboard pro is a paid app I cant help it. Also I will have to test if it gets installed properly

[HTC Salsa] kashttl:
I did observer that (about whatsapp).

and this version of es file explorer seems to be pretty amazing! -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210417

The xperia one is still preffered over zeam :P - its fast, stable, Not much data consuming.

And about the keyboard -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5 (only problem is that its heavy weighted)

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

AFter some more explorations i feel that zeam launcher is pretty cool too. :D

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

ANd you can also add the black facebook app.. suits the holo look :P
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Directed to BBE (sir)- you can install black fb in your rom series also as a user app by putting it in data/app folder. You told it wasnt getting installed as a system app.

Sent from my GT-P3100 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
currently i'm using My V13, i uninstalled FB and reinstalled the Facebook Black (ICS blue writing) to internal and it works fine for me.

By putting these in the data/app or system folders is whats causing it to crash, so i wouldn't recommend it. Best installing after fully setup.

I'm also using the new ADW EX, loads of new functions, better handling like Trebuchet (CM10) launcher also looks like part too. Not to heavy either.
[HTC Salsa] kashttl:
Thank you man! You and your awesome ROM! This made me love my phone even more.. Now i wont touch my tab or laptop for a few more days :P

But u can use adw normal. That's the Same now also.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
But then battery consumption will increase and more ram space will also be consumed. Still let me see. If nothing else then adw over xperia because of theme factor. Currently writing new script for v5.

Farrago! v5 has arrived with Bravia Display Engine.

Flashable file on v4 to update to v5 will take 1 more day.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Question. How do u know the bravia engine works? I've tried it and no noticeable difference. Plus when manually adding it to a non Sony xperia phone it can causes screen problems. That's why pimp my rom wont let u install on a non xperia phone. If u can privacy e its working then show me please .....I already have a modified camera patch built in so it cant bbe that.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Sir I did not pimp my rom. If you notice that in pimp my rom then it is only for ics+ . This version works for gb. But graphics do show slight difference. It is post processing display engine.

Back to farrago! Found Some small FCs... like the time shows as hh:mm:ss instead of the correct time (in call logs)

It can be made faster by using advance task killer instead of given task manager!

And the Status bar! .. Please make the Text Blue in color and active colour as black... will be perfect!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
You can't make an active color. The color is the color simple.

[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
stock+root files.....what was the rest of the rom u used? or did use the entire stock+root rom. its about technique when using UOT, its not a simple quick select and job done. you have to be careful when doing stuff.

I can help you if required. tell me what u want doing and send me a zip with the basic file required and i can sort it for u.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Okay so this is what happened from v2-

Holo 2 was base but Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk were from stock+root. The reason being holo 2 had transparency in status bar that I did not want. But that thing was not going. So I tried with stock +root and that went but then I got this font problem. I'll have to work on it a few days from Tuesday

There you go.
[HTC Salsa] kashttl:
A different file browser will be very appreciated.. (the old version of es is awesome, can be found on its official website)

And Differnt theme is required.. statusbar not good. :/

And THE FASTEST ROM EVER BEEN MADE FOR SALSA! :D:D:D <3<3<3<3
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Theming- you get me an awesome one and I can do my standard tricks.

File Browser- Looks like people can get from play store. Now that ROM is on air I'm a bit helpless.

This one is better than v5 and its predecessors. And you can't call it fastest. I will do some benchmarking and prove it.

Also just for note, I am not a person who adds too many system apps like htccontactswidget, htc greader, pitcher type dialers and messaging apps. Launcher is understandable but anything else is classified by me as bloatware. Users can get whatever they want from play store. I also don't mind if people change their launchers or any app if they wish. The fact remains that this ROM is a custom ROM. So let the users do whatever they want. I don't care if someone cribs if an app they find usable(htc greader) but I find bloatware is not included; you install it for yourself. My work is to provide you the best ROM. Something you find useful might be bloatware for a hundred people.
[HTC Salsa] kashttl:
True. ! Too damn True!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Guys this the last time I'm gonna say this.

This isn't the ffastest or the greatest rom ever. There are others !

Vigoo, if u feeel tthat way don't say it in the thread. It makes yourself look stupid.

I've tried this,it feels slower than cm7, ui isn't to my taste but your choice.

If u want to big u your roms its your choice but never flame another developer for what they add or do to there own roms. Its unfair and against xda policy. As for other things, pointless adding screenshots up mid thread, that's what your op is for. Helps other users to see before hand what there downloading.

I am here to help others and share my work. I will decide the future shortly but guys....i gotta say, disappointed.

If you guys want to continue in this manner I will cease to hhelp at all and remove my work for you.

I refuse to be trashed by others for doing what I know I can do. I didn't become RC for nothing.

BB out!
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Okay let's start like this. I may be a fool. I made a mistake by not posting screen shots earlier. Accepted. I make mistakes, everyone does.

You didn't enjoy the UI, others did. So I don't question that either.

You feel CM7 is faster, I feel v6 is faster. It is how you feel it is. Personal choice. Period.

Please do not misinterpret what I said. I have cleanly stated that I am against bloatware. Now I can use go launcher in mine but it is bloatware and eats space. So simple. I am not against your ROMs at all. How can you even interpret it that way is something out of my thinking capacity. I am not at all flaming. You just misinterpreted my statement. As a user even I like to see a holo 3a or an arc 3a. So don't even think I am flaming. I have read the forum rules and accepted them as they are. I am a rule abiding member.

Becoming a RC is a difficult thing and is understood. I know you worked on this device a lot. I don't doubt that.

Please clear any other misunderstanding s if any
[HTC Salsa] rohanpatkar:
You didn't enjoy the UI, others did. So I don't question that either.

Cant read the battery status from home screen itself...thats not good.Thats the basic thng whch shudnt be a problem. !!

You feel CM7 is faster, I feel v6 is faster. It is how you feel it is. Personal choice. Period.

Let rom developers mention the quad or antutu score from next releases ...obv tested under std coditions.That will stop the debate. Cuz then Every1 else will roam abt saying...i developed Nothing and its still faster than your Anythng.Stop that...we dont want that...post the scores and let ppl decide. v6 did 3500 sumthng for me on antutu.

I have cleanly stated that I am against bloatware.

That ES Explorer thing didnt work...may be include another lightweight file explorer app.Now you being such a wonderful dev we totally dont expect mistake at this level.....the file explorer HAS to be neat and tidy...you dont want ppl to be setting up accounts and den download app from market at crappy speeds (2G INDIA being worst) right after flashing rom.

.

Expected something lot better.The way the rom was said to be like in the primary post...its not that much fascinating ! Hope thngs get fixed in next releases. Good Luck.

MESSEGE TO VIGOOS-

1) Updated file explorer thing can be found on official website.

2) Lets do the theming today!

I tried your rom...... Farrango v6

Here is my review

TBH: love its fluidity and performance

Its the most efficient rom.......

And battery life span increaser....

Its fast,smooth and battery efficient making it a best rom....but there are also drawback of this rom too.....

Advantages

Fast

Games run well

Battery efficient

Smooth

Multitasking

Doesn't lag

Thre are some drawbacks which are minor and can be fixed easily by developer

Drawbacks

UI isn't that great(pls make it like ics )

Notification bar battery stats nit working right it shows battery percentage when battery reaches 30% of power

Pls change whole theme colour from white to black

Remove farrango v6 written at the end of notification bar it looks odd.....

Music app is not working

When you long press on the homescreen a option windows pop up but the names of function cant be seej pls fix it

Pls put weather clock widget

Some of the apps icons images are missing when we install new apps enabling jelly bean icon pack

Changes that i want in this rom are:

Make it look like ics

use glass theme and transparent the notification

In app drawer there is a tranparent window in which icons are placed pls extend it to whole screen so only icon are scrolled not window.......

Changr loading icon to the ics or jrllybean loading icon....

I think it's a great rom and is the best in performance and it iust need is a little tweaking.......

Great job vigoos you have made an good rom.....
