Hi Ntn,

Thanks for posting your setup/s.

I am currently running VJ's MIUI 2.12.28 V4.4. It is chewing through the battery at the moment (428 mA) according to currentwidget.

I rooted by Desire more than 2 years ago, and have ORD, so not a total Noob, but certainly don't have the tweaking smarts that you folk do. :cool:

Thanks again for posting, I am sure they will be very useful.

Cheers

Camera bug +fix

There is a bug in older ROMs that causes the camera to flicker. To get rid of it, just close the camera app and reopen it again. Or use another camera app (fxcamera is suggested).

This bug is not present in ROM v3.0 and above.

Wifi tethering bug and bluetooth bug +bugfix

Currently there is a problem with Wifi tethering (Wifi AP) and bluetooth.

Bluetooth should work in JB 4.1 but it's not working in 4.2. To fix this, delete bt_vendor.conf from /system/etc/bluetooth.

Fix by elpvn.

VJ fixed tethering bug in v4.5 (but you do need to do a full wipe as littlegtplr says), if You need to fix it in previous versions then do as nowster says.
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
Hot reboots bug

You might encounter an unexpected reboot with JB 4.2. To fix this, your sd-ext should be reformatted with EXT3 and not EXT4.

Fix provided by vijendrahs.

New info (by vijendrahs), this is a bug of the Android itself: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39912

Paamet's sugestion is to disable location services as a temporary fix.
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
SW keys enable/disable setup

In JB 4.2 dated 31.12.2012 and after, the rom has enabled the JB softkeys. To disable this, edit your build.prop and remove a duplicate entry which says qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0.

To enable softkeys, find the entry in build.prop which says #qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0 and remove the #.

The v 4.2.1 from 1.5.2013 and onward has softkeys disabled again, as reported by dEX2340.

There is also a flashable fix provided by dragang.

Missed call notification light +bugfix

Previous versions have had problems with nofitication light (most discussed was missed call notification). Since ROM version 4.2 this should be fixed. But you need to configure the notification if it's not working. Like this.

Problem checked by dariush_jab and gilleshander.
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
Notification sounds always low bug

There seems to be a bug that causes very low notification sounds volume. Problem seems to be in 4.2 kernel, no need to bug the ROM developers about it...

The problem is still present and has been reported again (with step-by-step description and logcat) by WatsonDue. v4.6 has still the issue.

No solution yet.

Hi.

I'm running VJ JB v3.0. As my question #1253 I was curious, is the Camera Flash / LED light working for you? I haven't found anything related to that here nor in the VJ's thread, yet it doesn't work for me at all (clean install after full wipe/format everything exc. SD).

Thanks!

Tether

Can someone get me files which changes in last CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.2.1 about Tether.

This is a tricky question, because only VJ know what has changed. I could run a full fc on both ROMs, but I doubt I can identify what has changed. Did tether worked before for You and now it's broken?
[Desire General] dEX2340:
In 4.2.1 softkeys is no longer enabled. Or at least not for me and I did a full wipe before flashing.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I have deleted all ringtones and notifications except that one sound that I need. Frees up a few extra MB.

You mention to delete browser.apk but you replace it by a different one then I presume. Or is this browser.apk not the CM one? And do you mean to reinstall another one which is then installed in sd-ext?
[Desire General] kowloon12:
custom soft keys

used to add an additional soft key in 3.0 using the relevant settings page, which is missing in 4.2.

is there any way to manually customize the soft keys or bring back the settings page for navigation bar?

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

the page from which enter custom values to brightness levels for the display and hw buttons backlight is missing from the settings since VJ 4.1, I used it to turn off the buttons backlight after enabling the soft keys on screen..

- Memory management: Allow purging of assets (checked), Kernel samepage merging (checked)

2) Developer options (click 7 times on Build number to enable):

- Window animation scale: 1x some with .5x

- Transition animation scale: .5x

- Animator duration scale: .5x

Backup with ROM manager problem

OK, I'm not sure if this is related to ROM (CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.3), but maybe just to install.

I've followed the install guidelines, executed the A2SD script.

Now I have problems with getting ROM Manager to back my ROM up. "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Is this because of the A2SD script, or have I missed something fundamental?

Thanks for a really helpful thread btw!

Mounts2SD instead of a2sd

andreipaval says:

SOLVED: I managed to find the problem, the Mounts2SD script searches for other a2sd scripts and removes them, mainly from /system/etc/init.d folder. So when I installed the M2SD app, it deleted

the 10apps2sd script (which is OK), but also deleted 05mountext and 06handleswap, which is not so good, because after reboot the system did not mount /sd-ext partition again.

This is why I could not install any app. I fixed this by copying 05mountext script back to /system/etc/init.d and set appropriate permissions rwxr-x---.

Everything works OK now. This is a great ROM, thank you very much Vijendra. Android 4.2 is awesome, I really like the Chronus widget.

Edit no. 2: It seems that there is still an issue about M2SD mounting /sd-ext, M2Sd was correct in deleting 05mountext, because it should have replaced it, but did not correctly do so.

With both scripts running, now M2SD app report a warning about someone else mounting /sd-ext.

If You happened to encounter FC with developer settings after applying mounts2sd then try this solution from pekaka.

Spyrek10 says "Mounts2SD works fine for me. I'm using it since 4.5." Details here.

Chromium

There seems to be alot of confusion about the Chromium widget and the ability to show weather. Parastie (one of many) has posted a guide how to enable weather info in the widget.

Don't forget that in v4.3, there is no way how to show weather on locked screen without aditional touching because of the system behavior. In v4.4 and higher, you may set the system to start widgets on locked screen in maximized state.

Notification light

Okay, so for me it's like this: green works, orange can't find the right value I guess so I will say no, blue blinks like green. Funny. And it looks like it's not important how do I set it up it always blinks the same way.

PS: I was testing this with the test option in notification light settings (I run JB 4.2.1 v4.4), so it may work with real events but... I don't believe that :)

Updating

Hi guys,

I've a short question, when upgrading to a newer version (inside a main version). Do I have to run the a2sd script again, after upgrading or is it simple flashing and wipe dalvik + cache?
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
Hm, good question. I don't know...
[Desire General] paolo-red1:
Yes I think it's better to run "a2sd reinstall". I did so when upgraded with only dalvik + cache wipe.
[Desire General] andrew_rm:
Yes, I can also confirm that in GB 2.3 (not sure if Miui rom only) the desire was also capable of green, orange, dark blue, light blue and magenta led colors...probably even more, but I dont recall now....as i mainly used green, orange and dark blue.

As far as I know, the green and orange leds where the only ones that blinked....the others where static/fixed when on.

On JB 4.2.1 I've only managed to set the green blinking led for most notifications in system settings (i haven't tinkered too much with the gradient either..i suppose its just a matter of setting the right color code)...and the dark blue light for whatsapps notifications through the apps settings

why VJ says we need to disable the scrollable wallpaper? For better performance or for bug-free?
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
Dunno, I never did that :) I like scrollable background. But it might be because of the performance.

[Desire General] deino:
I'm planing on installing VJ's JB 4.2.1 CM10 4.5, currently I'm on 4.4. Now my question would be, should I have a swap partition? VJ's ROM supports it if I'm not mistaken, but what good does it do? It's not gonna make things faster I think, so what is it for? Better multitasking? And is it any good? Because I really do not want to go trough all the trouble if it turns out to be only a placebo effect, of even worse, will make my phone unstable / slower.

In order to use CM10 4.5, I'd have to do this: backing up my SD card to my PC, partitioning via 4ext, copy back everything on SD, install new ROM from scratch, boot in, install external gApps via adb (that is really a hassle, I wish there was some flashable .zip kinda solution to this.), restore apps via titanium backup, activate a2sd via terminal emulator. And I think that's it. Probably. It's just a crapload of boring stuff. Oh, and I have to "trim" the ROM's zip first, so it'd fit in my CM7-HBOOT - I tend to use a crapload of apps. Thank God for the external gApps script, they make my life a thousand times easier.
[Desire General] ntn_labs:
You do not want SWAP, unless You wanna kill the SD card. SWAP is not needed unless You are heavy user. SWAP helps to run more apps, not install them...
