interesting.... i searched but I all I could find was him saying he switched on bluetooth and GPS and wifi all the time. I found amidabuddha post saying he left all the sensors on. amidabuddha post says that since android only utilities those sensors when apps requests it but no posts states why leaving sensors on saves battery. maybe I will have to Google it
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
There were a lot of WiFi wakelocks at the time, caused by the GApps. And leaving it on really helped to reduce the battery drain caused by these wakelocks, NOT to save battery. But this is not the case for Flinny ROM a long time now. At least for the latest versions that I flash to test (up to 22, which almost became my daily, but I am pretty used to s2w feature) I always switch on sensors only when I need them, without having wakelocks

How to remove stock apps from rom before flashing? For example stock Browser or google search?
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
unzip your zip, then go to /system/app. delete the apps you want, zip the files and flash
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
Deleting apps from the zip, before flashing,

could not be sufficient for every app one wants to remove..

..some of them leave libc etc , in system folders,,

if you`re shaving a sense rom, then -after boot -use <rom cleaner >script,

to remove all potential thrash, left behind...

Hi amidabuddha

I was interested and I went to do a little research about this. leaving those sensors on helps to reduce wake locks? I searched around in the BBS thread and it got me thinking. when we leave those sensors on, wouldn't the android kernel still power them on? I mean since the apps will use them when required, the kernel has to leave some power for those sensors right?also from the build.prop, I noticed this

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval

this shows that the WiFi chip are constantly scanning at xx seconds right? wouldn't this cause wakelocks or something? I read the the wakelocks issues on sven github, he gave credits to Entropy512 regarding this on PowerManagementService : "This kernel wakelock is a placeholder for all partial wakelocks being held in userland". could you explain this? thanks!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This was an issue with GApps and as far as I know Google fixed it for 4.2.2

But I remember reading somewhere that the power management for newer devices conciders minimum user interference in the switching the sensors on/off. This means that the system is deciding whether to activate them or not. Example - the GPS recevier is not active until an app sends a request for it. But how effective it is implemented and does it working correctly on older devices like ours I cannot tell. We have a ported kernel, even the official from the dev RUU, so deffinately it is not so effective as the ones made for the latest generation of devices.

[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
do they match- by any chance?-but i mean- to the last bit...

if they do- the package you`ve downloaded is correct,

and as far as the rom is been used by others,

there must be something missing at your end- i presume,

if you already have: well...

- clean the nand again- to the bone

- flash the package

-manually flash rom`s kernel. - even when s- off,

or look for another one

-post a logcat from the first boot attempt- what it says behind the curtain,

Hello Everyone...

Pls, to the gurus in the house. I stay around a Phone Repairing engineer and there are some people who come with android phones complaining they want to get over a device which they dont know the gmail account. The phone would not even give chance to get to the settings for a reset. The gmail login screen stays on the screen even at reboot. The funny thing is some cant even remember their Gmail id when plan to reset the password. Some would say they bought the phone from someone who didnt removed his/her account before handing over to the buyer. And that they cant reach the person.

So pls, someone, is there a general applicable way to bypass that screen and wipe the device so it starts afresh? (That can be applied to ANY Android device)

I would appreciate if i can get this solution. Thanks

which rom.... wait don't jump down my throat just yet.....

Hey guys,

my sister was having trouble with her desire s with it randomly restarting, couldn't find a definitive solution, figured if i was going to do a factory reset i may as well have a play :)

So my previous phone was a desire (bravo) running oxygen, currently have Nexus 4 with pacman,

Basically my question is: What rom would you guys recommend for my sister?

We are on holiday for a 5 more days only so I dont have the time (and she wont appreciate) to try different one's to see what she likes, I want something like oxygen for the bravo if anyones ever used it, not like pacman on my n4.

So something very stable, simple, good battery life, no need for multiple features or rom control options, basically she is the type of girl who when she asked what i was doing to her phone i replied 'taking off the orange network stuff'.

so please don't bite my head off as if this was me I would be flashing roms left right and centre till i found the right one.

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] metz1996:
Yes, i understand but i would like to hear some people what they mean about these roms. I looked in the thread´s of the roms. Yes i can flash the other rom but there is a risk and then all my apps games and saves are deleted i can make a backup of them but after i testet the other rom i need to install all apps and copy the savegames back

Other Question: how can i overclock my device and how much. Maybe someone can help me:)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Titanium backup can backup all your apps and app data to your sd card, if you purchase the pro version you can batch restore them in no time . If you really want to oc then by how much depends on your chip and decided by trial and error, a little bit at a time. The paperwork says 1.5 tops i think, personally i never went above 1.2 as it didn't need it and sometimes caused lag in games. The only way to get a feel of any rom is to try it, i liked all of them personally for different reasons.

Risk: there is a risk everytime you flash anything on your phone, we all understand and accept that risk when we first go about rooting our devices. If you feel the risk is too high, then i recommend you flash stock and be done with it. If anything goes wrong during your use of the roms/recoveries /mods then you can't blame anyone else.

My saga has a very susceptible chip and the simple act of rooting could fry it, the risk is and always been mine and mine alone.

[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
You can make a nandroid backup (in recovery) before trying a new Rom, that way you can go straight back to the state the phone was in before, if you want to go back to the previous rom
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
Make backup with titanium and you can restore them easily, if you have the pro version.

About overclocking: I think the HTC Flyer tablet has the same SoC as our device and it's clocked at 1.4 GHZ, so everything before 1.4 GHZ(including 1.4 GHZ) should get the job done without frying our devices. I personally use 1.2 GHZ on CM10.1 with kylon's AndromadusMod kernel. Performance is good, no reboots or anything else that would make me to underclock the CPU back to 1GHZ.

I hope, I helped you!

Pls how do i fix this issue? There was this time i tried a sense rom and loved its font. I copied out the font folder as backup. Later, i wanna try out an AOSP Rom, i replaced the font folder with the one i said i loved... It worked. Not so long, i used a Rom WP7 Port for Desire S which is a MIUI Based ROM. I loved the font also, i copied out the folder too. I replced a AOSP ROM with the MIUI Font folder i copied but my device wont boot up. The boot animation keeps loading and wouldnt finish... Any help to fix this? Thanks!

1. 2.00.0002

2. 3822.10.08.04_M

3. CWM touch v5.8.1.5

4. bootloader says unlocked at top then SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

5. ok so just spoke to sis to get some more details..... it doesn't reboot it turns off, and once off the only way to get it back on is to plug it in (usb or mains). it doesn't turn off if it is left locked and not in use. if try and turn back on without being plugged in, it will start to boot but then crash at HTC screen, can get into bootloader but crashes trying to get into recovery..... oh ok it just crashed in bootloader too :s and also now after leaving it a few minutes it botted up normally. seems like the quicker you try and turn it back on after it crashes the shorter time it stays on for.

not sure how to get logs but should be able to figure that out if needed, also wont logs only show whats happening real time, and as the phone doesn't shut down whilst plugged in to usb wont really be relevant?

Also can i restore to factory state in order to return to manufacturer?

other info: kernel: 2.6.35.14 aokp+ ROM: IceColdSandwich 8.3 AOKP
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
I think it's hardware issue

becaouse that's not software dependant. Turning phone on when it's off is HBOOT task. And i doubt your sister made anything that would brake HBOOT. You can always try downloading (not so)official ICS update. You have to have locked bootloader to flash this. The command is "fastboot oem lock".
[HTC Desire S] And1_jc:
Cheers, can i apply the update to the phone as is? EDIT - the link for the update returns "The page cannot be found" from the website

Is it too late to return to manufacture? think she has like 1 month left on her contract....

Nope, you have to lock the bootloade. I don't know about the second one. Google it.
