I'm interested if you guys run well on your flashed roms and if so since when?

Also which ROM and kernel would interest me ;)
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
Pardon my ignorance, but i do not fully understand your question...

Yes of course roms i`m using, run well for me,

and if they do not, either i convince them to, or change for the others;)
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
For example I'm using latest PAC but with every day I hate it more because of it's lack of stability. I use it since the release and after week 3 it's getting worse until the peak yesterday. About 15 random reboots in 12 hrs...

Kind of annoying if u sometimes need a working phone.

Bnd is porting the only interesting ROMs but he is not active like once before.

wpa_supplicant.conf

Hi

when i was having an issue with my wifi.I renamed wpa_supplicant.conf to .bak.As suggested.I got the wifi working after.Not because of renaming it.But wpa_supplicant is still .bak and not .conf .Is the list of wifi connections and passwords held in this file.I can still see all my wifi connections when i turn on my wifi in settings.Theres just a few command lines in the wpa_supplicant file at the moment.Does the wpa_supplicant have an effect on the wifi.using a stock rom 2.3.3.

Cheers

Hello folks, Its been a couple of days since I received juggs' DS. I migrated over from a device which needed a sd ext partition. I haven't reformatted my card yet, so I was wondering if we have use for a ext3/4 partition (mine is 512mb) on the DS?

Also, I have two issues currently, and would appreciate if someone could give me some pointers to troubleshoot.

1. I'm running Viper on the DS atm, and in lowest display light settings, the screen "flickers", sort of. The display is Sony, and the brightness "changes' frequently in small steps at minimum brightness. Its not too noticeable on darker backgrounds, but on white surfaces, its noticable and the frequency is high enough to notice.

What could be the issue?

2. The compass is not functioning properly. I read somewhere that you have to wave the phone in a 8-like figure to reset, but its not helping. The gps locks are good, although not as accurate as my previous device. But these are manageable, unlike the compass which simply remains static at north.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Hmmm, personally i never had need to partition the sd and i don't think many here have.

What are you using as compass? Are you sure it's not the app? I used the ds quite a lot in the outdoors with alpine quest and never had a problem with compass. Your gps lock issues might be solved with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442032

Never noticed the flicker you describe, sorry can't help with that one.

You can always pm me if you do have any questions.

[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Lol I thought I troubled you enough already, so I decided to trouble the community a little :P you know, for a change.

I tried the compass function with Ingress and it just points north.

The gps is off by a few meters, so I'll check the link on the new rom once I finally manage to fix my net issues.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Is that the official ingress or the one compiled for smaller screens ( ;) you know the one) i had the gps down to about 2-3m for walking purposes

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
the DS uses a ext4 partition (I think), otherwise why would 4ext recovery be called 4ext? lol. regarding your flickering issues, it sounds very similar to those who are using CM10.1 and the maps have flicker . are you using maps when the screen flickers? I think it could be maps problem. not so sure too. look at [MENTION=4375968]Android-UK[/MENTION] signature. it had a link to the last working version of maps. normally it takes me around 20-30sec for a GPS lock, when sitting at home. but sometimes it could take up to a few minutes for a lock when I am at a place with crappy connection. I use TopNTP for that.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
I'm using broot compiled from source. It doesn't have the low res skins though, since I don't require it now.

Regards the partition, I was talking about sd-ext partition, and none of the system ones. I had previously partitioned my 16 gig micro sd card into a 512mb ext 3 and the rest as fat32. Though as juggs said, there's no need so I'll reclaim the space.

I actually don't use maps. The only gps/location based application that I have installed is Ingress. (I don't even have the weather widgets and other bloat even though I'm on a sense based rom). I used FasterFix and set my pool to the India based one, so GPS lockup duration is very less, as low as 15 secs.

I got those flickers in Opera Mini browser.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Check the compass with another app. Never used opera mini, i always had opera beta and only for downloads as it handles them better than most.

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
I think the flickering is a general problem on minimum brightness setting (or maybe just on sense 4 ROMs or something), I remember seeing that on my phone too, but I hardly ever use the minimum brightness.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
The thread here says: "This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you."

And gsmarena says: "GPS	Yes, with A-GPS support"

This will work with CM10.x on this phone, right?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Its what most of us have used and always recommended , i always used it after flashing. I don't think any of the roms have gps disabled in the code. How did you get on with checking compass?

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm not trying to teach my Granny to suck eggs, but have you installed GPS Status & Toolbox ? That's what I use to do the calibration on my phone - it sorts out the levelling, figure-of-8 and aGPS state for you.

I never had a problem with the compass on my DS either, so I suspect it will turn out to be something fairly simple - maybe it's got jetlag:eek:
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
well, the most easiest solution is to change rom to see whether was it a hardware issue. the SD card that came with my DS was a 8GB SanDisk class 4.there was never a need to partition.

P.S. use boat browser

So, how do i eat those eggs again? :o

[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Ahh crap. I formatted my card back to default (one fat32 partition) using minitool and DS can't recognize it now :(

My older phone also wouldn't recognize it, so I may have screwed up somewhere even though I followed the wiki to the dot.

A true noob, I feel like one.

My hangouts isn't working, pc recognizes card so that's a relief. Will see what can be done.
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
well, at least your problem isn't something like "help! I can't turn my wifi on!"
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
I acrually panicked for a second there, coz a quick google showed that the ds dealt with water damage issues which caused sd recognition failures.

Troubleshooting forward, I had partitioned two separate cards to fat32 (one after the other obviously). Both fail in the DS and my old phone.

So I tried another card (I have a bunch of them lying around, though the 16gig card is the good one) and it works well on both.

Sigh, I'll have to waste another 3+ hrs on backup/restore tomorrow :-|

[MENTION=4665306]jugg1es[/MENTION] damaged the device with water before? wow, he sold you a broken device?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I haven't seen a reason, so I'm going to ask ... Why are you partitioning the SD Card? I partitioned mine when I first got the DS - (from memory) set up an EXT4 for app install, a 'swap' space for memory swap-out and the main partition for my data. Never found a single actual benefit to doing so and ended up wiping it all out and just using a single FAT32 partition for my data instead. I do remember having some problems using MiniTool PWHE, but using a Linux boot disk and parted worked perfectly first time. I believe it is down to how the applications actually address the exact partition spaces and boundaries.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Huh? I think you misread my post. I googled "sd card failure desire s" and the top 10 results were various forum threads for water damage.

So I had to determine if that is my issue. Turns out, it isn't. Its a card (probably formatting) issue.

And juggs didn't sell me the device ;)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
You really think that i would go through the grief of sending a known faulty phone to India. I have never had the phone in a position to be water damaged, it's always worked fine for me. I was using it as Walkman up to the day i packaged it

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
I missed your post, sorry.

My position is the same as yours. The partitions (as you had them) exist from my old phone, so I needed it wiped/merged to one single partition.

That's what I want to do with the main 16 gig card which I'll be using in the ds. And I'll do the exact opposite with the 2 gig card so that my old phone is also back to a functional state.

I figured the problem, its Minitool which caused it.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Oh well, I'll try flashing a new rom. Will report back whenever I do.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I've never seen that before. If something like Reaper still gives you problems then the only thing I can think is that something has gone wrong with the hardware - maybe they stuck it through a magnetic field in transit as part of the security scan?

Oh, i do hope not. Surely it would have fried the internal storage.

s off on hboot 2.00.0002

hey there, im completely a newb (well to this device anyway)

ive seen other people writing and saying that they have a hboot of 2.00.0002 (same as me) with it as s-off, but mines s-on, i have the pac rom installed and stuff (i cant get back to my old rom cuz none of the nandroid backups have wifi working annymore,hmm)

so backto the point, my radio is 3822.10.08.04_m, and hboot as listed above, and unlocked by htcdev, i was wondering how on earth do i get s-off, i read a guide somewhere about creating a goldcard by putting some image onto an microsd but i think the OP deleted the thread because it was causing too many bricks,

ideally i would love to be able to get s-on and also if anyone knows how and why my wifi doesnt turn on when i do a nandroid restore to my older rom

revolutionary doesnt support my hboot:/

(just pointing me to a guide would be fine)

sorry if ive done anything wrong here, only a newb:)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Because your still s-on you have to flash the kernel from the rom you backed up (hence the issues with wifi) after you've restored your nandroid.

I used this guide to s-off http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919 you'll need to use revolutionary io to gain s-off

After that i flashed one of the eng hboots to get back to 2.0xxx

don't keep the revolutionary hboot there are issues with formatting the partitions correctly

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] coolkid12239:
ah yes ive got that guide open, so what ive gathed so far is i need a ruu file with my radio listed in it, ive found 3, and ive downloaded the oldest one with my radio ?

RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

so i follow that guide you linked to install that ruu? and then i can s-off with revolutionary, and then i follow the guide again and install the same ruu and it will still say s-on ?

im so new to this s-on and ruu buisness sorry, ive only ever rooted and flashed a tablet,

also what does the number at the start of the ruu name mean, the numbers before ...radio?

--------------------------------

hmm just looked inside my nandroid backup, (see attached), which one is the kernal?, ive got the toolkit to flash it

im going to assume the kernal is part of the boot.img, hmm, its the only img there
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
No, you need an older RUU, which will have a 1.xx at the start of the version number, the radio version isn't relevant. You need one for the same region (and provider, if you have a branded phone).

Yes, he means flash the boot.img from the backup after restoring.

[HTC Desire S] coolkid12239:
ahaa thanks for that, but im not gunna count this as a sucess until i am back on jellyfirebeanv2 or cyanogenmod 10.1 unofficial (wanna try it haha)

basically you said that i didnt want to keep the hboot on the revolutionary rom as i was it bad idea, well basically after i did the ruu it was x.x8.xxxx something, and that was okay, but shortly after it went down to 6, i was worried.

my biggest concern now is that well ive just flashed the two p88img.zips that you said, both were sucessful, im about to then install recovery, root and all that and hopefully by tomorrow (going to bed now) will have formatted everything and have cyanogen on it, but still my biggest concern is that my hboot still says *REVOLUTIONARY!* at the top, hmm it worries me, the hboot has changed, still s-off, is this supposed to happen?

also a note to any newbies reading this, after flashing a p88img, your hboot will be disabled, you willl need to boot up and enable it by settings>power and uncheck fastboot (i know its wierd) and it will reenable it
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
[MENTION=4628373]coolkid12239[/MENTION] don't worry about it saying revolutionary the hboot number is what to watch for if you've flashed both of the files recommended then you should be able to flash any rom on the dev threads. Imho 4ext is the best recovery, others may disagree but most that have been around for a while will tend to agree. It's only my opinion though :cool:

On a side note, are you aware of your panel type? Is it a Sony or mddi? If your not sure then check the non Sony users lounge link in second post

"You learn something new every day if you're not careful" - Wilf Lunn
[HTC Desire S] coolkid12239:
sorry ive never actually even heard the term panel type, as i mentioed before, my previos android device was a tablet, which i rooted and flashed aorund on a daily basis and bricked on a monthly basis lol, but ive never had to deal with this phone only s-on stuff haha, how do i check my panel type.

mainly tho.

ahahaa i know all this, i had 4ext touch with jellybean before i started all this, its just some certain apps like avast anti theft were turning out to be a pain in the *** without s-on

anyway, thanks a lot on clearing that up, am i aloud to make threads in the android development section, planning on making a [GUIDE] for newbs on how to do this and there was no clear guide on how to hboot down, and then back up, and all the ruu stuff involved, hell i coulnt even download a goldcard creator cuz all the links were from years ago and dead

-----------------------------------------

lol ive just tried cyanogenmod, its okay for looks but ive seen way better settings on older roms, going to go back to jellyfirebeanv2, its a lot older, and a lot thinner and lightwight, but yes i will be taking the cyanogenmod 10 bootscreen with me mwahahaa, irl be honest its lush. but jellyfirebean allows me to set a glabl dpi, change the statusbar colours, remap hardware buttons, everything cyanogenmod does but more. i know its only unofficial but rom wise i personally prefer jellyfirebean(themed like hell) and 4ext(with a theme cuz ligt brown is icky)

Just wanted to know what 'supercharger' is... I've seen a few people mention it in various threads. But never an explanation of what it is.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Supercharger is a popular script, which basically changes the default memory management values. It modifies the minfree values, values at which android kills/switches various levels of apps and processes.

The performance varies, as I personally feels its very subjective and depends on every users needs and habits.

You can search for supercharger script to find the thread page, where you'll get more info.

So, I thought I'd give a little update here to the folks.

After running around for a couple of days, I've finally settled on Cm10.1 by flinny.

I also gave PAC a shot, but got really random bootloops twice, after which I lost patience with it.

The compass works, so in conclusion, its a rom issue with Viper. I've also installed the Gps patch by crypted, and I get a lock in 4secs flat, with super accurate position within 15 secs.

This is actually a record for me, as I can have Ingress up and running within 10secs (excluding the portal load times, that's network and location dependent).

Not to mention, this is CyanogenMod, so a lot of the mods that I use/wish to use are compatible (firewalls, privacy guards, xposed based dpi mod).

Thanks to all that tried to help, I'll settle on this one for a while :)
