How close should I be able to video something before it gets blurry? I did a quick video that I moved from close things to far things and it looked okay. But when I tried moving into a picture of something, it was decidedly blurry. In all fairness though, a regular camera would have to be in macro mode to capture those cleanly I think.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
That probably means auto-focus doesn't work on video mode yet. The camera should have auto corrected it's focus.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I'm going to rebase the framework as I can't quite figure out what's causing the sudden crashes (FCs).

Hopefully the rebase will fix Halo. I'll still tweak the camera application a little and see what I can fix.

I'll have another test build out tomorrow or the day after. Sorry, I really wasn't expecting Halo to crash like that.

Hi Dennis,

I found another bug. May u would also have found it by now. I received apex launcher update notification from halo today. So when I opened it it launched play store. Everything went well but I could not update apex launcher from halo. Update button couldn't be pressed. Same happened to plume.

Now I am gonna install turboboost engine by exit_only.

I will let u know guys if I feel any difference or not. Fingers crossed.

BTW Dennis should I install it or not? Ur opinion?

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

By the way anyone who is feeling lags and faster battery drainage, I have found something that would help you all.

At least it helped me a lot.

If u know about wake lock detector, this app detects triggers(apps) that prevents ur device to go into deep sleep. Google maps and Google search especially Google now are the major culprits. Especially during night when u don't use ur phone these apps then even quickly drain ur battery due to CPU wakes especially if u have ondemand governor with over clocked CPU.

So simply install this app and let a day/two to pass and check which apps are causing this.

Now after that install Greenify app. This app allows u to hibernate such apps so that they won't wake or CPU anymore and extends ur battery life and even provides more free ram by cutting down background tasks. It is quite different from task killers. For more info refer to app description in play store.

My battery now discharges only 5-7% during night(without data connection) and I get 40-50 mb more free ram.

But don't hibernate apps such as whatsapp or Facebook then u won't receive ur notifications.

I hope u all will find this helpful:)

These two apps are free and are ad free.

Thanx
[HTC Sensation] pmalav40:
This is my screenshot from wake lock detector app after hibernating maps and Google search with greenify. Before that I used to get almost 250-400 wake lock triggers by Google maps which drained my battery very fast.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks for creating a brief summary.

I don't mean to be rude (or harsh) but I want to explain how wakelocks affect your phone and the things you do.

Wakelocks and battery life are dependant on several things. Yes, you can kill off a few wakelocks but if you use auto-brightness and vibrate/haptic feedback and mobile network you make disabling those wakelocks a null point because those alone will consume roughly the same amount or more battery power. That beings said, an application will do what it is programmed to.

Google Maps and Google Search wakelocks are used for Google Now. The maps wakelock will return the location (and traffic info etc), and the Google Now (or Search) wakelock will update information based on the location and provide the travel time, traffic and various other things. The application may do it based on location change or once every half an hour to stay up to date. If you don't use Google Now removing the wakelock is understandable.

You should only mess around with wakelocks if you're sure you know what you're doing otherwise if you rely on a service that you've disabled wakelocks for, you won't get the information you need when you need it. Also, never disable the Finksy/Play Store wakelocks. You won't be able to use it correctly if you do so.

Edit: I recommend playing around with things. You'll only find the perfect setup for yourself if you flash mods etc, so feel free to flash anything you want (and report back if it doesn't work).
[HTC Sensation] pmalav40:
Yeah completely agree.

I have mentioned the same that not to hibernate apps such as whatsapp/Facebook otherwise no notification will appear.

And by the way greenify doesn't allow user to hibernate system apps such as play store/hangouts/message.

Anyways thanks for throwing light on the topic.

WiFi calling for T-mobile

Hi DennisBold,

thank you for the great ROM.

If i might suggest, would it be possible to port WiFi calling for T-Mobile, perhaps as a flashable zip.

This link,ICS port, might help.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Perhaps after I've finished fixing the framework? It's something I'll most definitely work on, it's just a matter of when.
[HTC Sensation] shawa2:
Hey! Before anything, thank you to the Dev for making this ROM. If my following post is not development related enough please don't feel the need to reply.

I am thinking of flashing your rom this weekend and have read opening posts and as many as I can of the 77 pages! Mainly I see this is a stable rom, I saw discussion of the camera... Is that functional now?

Also, (I know I should probably know this) but is pdroid basically app specific protection?

I will of course make a nandroid of my current setup (albinoman's CM10.1) and flash this to try it myself but any insight on the above would be appreciated.

Thanks again, take care!
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
You really didn't need to read that far into the thread; you could've asked or searched for a quick summary.

The camera is functional; there are a few bugs however;

- Flow has noted that there seems to be a bug with the view (corrected by rotating the screen and then rotating back). No idea about this one, it seems I need to edit the way the application draws itself.

- Video mode auto-focus doesn't work for some reason. I need more insight into this one but I'm working on it.

OpenPDroid basically allows you to control what information applications use, you can deny it access to account lists, network access and so on. It is application specific (it looks like it is to me, correct me if I'm wrong someone!).

Feel free to tell me about bugs if you find any!

SlimGapps 4.2.2 build 6.x updated.

Changes:

- Google Keyboard updated to latest version 1.0.1870.703320.

Dennis please update your links :)
[HTC Sensation] shawa2:
Awesome, thanks! I wanted to make sure I did my homework before posting - I know some devs don't appreciate non-development questions in their thread... Your support is another great reason to get flashing! Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks, doing it now!

---EDIT---

All done.
[HTC Sensation] citizeninsane89:
Sorry for asking so much out of you.

Could you please add glowpad torch for the lockscreen.

I know you're busy with other things but that would be a cool feature.

Thanks for everything.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Can you give me a quick summary of the feature and what ROM the feature comes from (so I know who to give credit to and or ask permission if it's not open source)?

--Edit--

Latest test build, let me know if SystemUI force closes.

http://184.173.234.188/SlimBean/Test/SlimBean-DennisBold-EXP-Friday21June2013-1030PM-BST.zip

You'll know right away if it force closes.
[HTC Sensation] citizeninsane89:
Sure!

It comes from XenonHD.

Basically you long press the unlock slider to turn on the torch.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
OK. I did Google it and it seems to be an AOKP feature so I may use it if that's true (with credit to the AOKP team of course).

I'll work on including it tomorrow as it's getting a bit late now.

[HTC Sensation] citizeninsane89:
Thank you, sir
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
what should we test for this build..

Installing right now
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Essentially all I need you to test this time is if Halo works.
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
dirty flashed it over the 20th May test build... no FC...

-- Edit --

i see you have removed the option to disable/enable halo... which apks do i need to delete from system/app to remove halo??
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks! I'll re-add the disable Halo master switch and work on the camera after I get some sleep.

Also any force closes from now should be because I'm missing a small edit (it isn't exactly needed as the ROM will work, but it will cause FCs randomly while apps do things)

[HTC Sensation] pmalav40:
Hi Dennis,

It seems that symbols in pie controls are very much pixelated & not sharp. I have seen on other ROMs like PACman/XenonHD, they are very sharp and crystal clear. If u can do anything about that? Thanx.

Your ROM is rock solid man. U rock. I haven't seen a single reboot for 5 days.
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
The HALO is working perfectly..

I just haven't figure out how to use it

I didn't know how to delete existing notif
[HTC Sensation] pmalav40:
Hi guys,

I have found out a feature of this ROM that is unique for this ROM as far as I know and that is second layer buttons for pie controls and its really awesome.

Here I have attached a screenshot which shows the same.

These buttons are extremely customizable including their theming features and custom action(and I mean ton of them are available).

Just play with them and u will all find out.

Configurable from settings/interface/slimpie

The most exciting feature is to take screenshot.

Another is to display notifications/quick settings from which u can swipe bottom handle to go back to notifications.

Another one the most useful is back to recent app function so u don't have to hold home button to enter recent app screen and from there to go to app which u recently used. This back to recent app button saves all this time.

Here is something which is very cool. U know u can hide your status bar by enabling expanded desktop. Now u will ask how to check notifications then? Guys it's simple just apply action to show notifications in second layer of pie controls. And also in anyway new notifications will appear in halo!

If u bother about ur wifi icon then if u hold pie controls it will show u all info including battery status, date, time and wifi status.

Removing status bar gives me vary much space and a whole new user experience of seeing every app in full screen mod without top status bar! I like it very much.???

I now don't even use my hardware buttons!???

So guys play with slimpie and I m sure u will all like it.

Thanx.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
That was a bug... and I corrected it in the latest build

You can change the density in Settings > Interface > General if you prefer

New build added in post #2.

Apollo 1.1 and DSPManager added.

I've tested the long press button to last application feature. There's a small glitch. Set the button to screen off, reboot and then set it back to last app. That should correct it.
[HTC Sensation] BuXuRa:
+1 on this . the same for me
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
There isn't a way I see currently, however I may add a settings as soon as I am done digging a little deeper into why the screen won't sleep during a call.

Button mapping refers to being able to assign (capacitive) buttons to certain functions (kill app, screen off, last app and so on).

The LCD Density was actually a bug. I removed it from system.prop because it kept getting over-ridden, and then ended up forgetting to add it back once I fixed it. :o
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
It's working perfectly in the latest build. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
Yea thats what i meant, the LCD.. I love that you can change it -- im using the stable build

awh, the button mapping meant that! oh ok.. thanks for clearing that up -- i dont assign different things to the capacitive buttons, so im good :good:

But yea man, take your time -- i can live with the little S thing -- its not really a big deal.. Youre doing great work for this community -- Keep it up my man!

Seeing the change log, Im going to run the 25th build a little while longer before i update.. have no reason to update so soon, yet haha -- unless you think the update is really a necessity, and whether or not ill notice a difference
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:
Can anybody explain why scripts from init.d not works ? It is great rom, which have similar or even same kernel as albinoman887, so why I can't use scripts for making swap or mount linux ext partition ? Swap working when I use option from Kernel Tuner, but I wanted to use Turbo Boost scripts and unfortunately they are seems transparent for ROM...
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
It really depends if you want DSPManager and Apollo. If not stick with the 25th release.

I normally test builds like this for an hour or two before building it again and correcting problems I find. You may like this version.

http://184.173.234.188/TestBuilds/S...PERIMENTAL-Saturday27April2013-1118PM-BST.zip

I replaced the lockscreen handle (using the stock android padlock instead of the Slim icon).

Also corrected a logcat spam, removed SlimIRC and updated to include the search button as a mappable option.

I'll look into this for you.
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:
Thanks for quick reply Dennis ;) I tried also install from market some apps. They create scripts on init.d properly, but after reboot nothing happens. Try for example Link2SD or Mount2SD. Everything working perfect in albinoman ROM, so maybe I miss something...
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
S2w sometime has bug in albino rom too.whan thereis incoming calling both caller and reciever can't hear a voice.after that disconnect by it self
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Seems a few scripts from Slim are messing with everything else. I'll work on fixing these for the next build.

Sweep2Wake is disabled by default. I suggest it's kept that way as I won't be fixing or editing kernel source yet.
[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
You are the fkn man! haha never had this much 'contact' with a developer before :silly:

Its downloading now.. ill flash it tonight (after my OKC Thunder beat Houston :p) and then tomorrow give feedback -- Im probably only going to say, "Perfect" :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Different developers (not that I'm a real android dev) have different preferences when it comes to discussing/working with people. I prefer constantly being able to chat to people to find bugs, find out what's best to add to a ROM/program, get logs and things. Other developers might just generally look at what bugs are found etc and give some input. And I know a few friends that won't even talk to people!

I think it makes it easier in the long run to fix a bug by constantly talking because everyone has a different idea of what's causing it. (I still haven't gotten any logs from those with proximity bugs)

I broke the torch...and I can't figure out why init.d scripts won't run; so not perfect. :silly:
[HTC Sensation] teddybear3k:
Hi,

I think i've fund a bug.

Impossible for me to add a swap.

I've tested the swap in the sultan kernel without result. Also with turbo boost no result.

Any idea?

It's ROM based. I've been trying to get sysinit (loads the /etc/init.d/ scripts) to work but it's not working. I've compiled half a dozen times trying to fix it, and I've got another compile running. I've updated the source and hoping it works with my latest build. I'll post an update with a link if I get it working in a test build.
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:

By Dennis:

Here's all the possible Halo gestures.

- multiple gestures to navigate HALO:

- double-tap-move: move

- tap-drag-left/right: task through notifications, finger up launches

- tap-drag-up: dismiss notification

- tap-drag-down: put HALO into semi-hidden state

- swipe while HALO is hidden wakes it up

- drag-to-X to remove HALO altogether

You have to tap once, then drag left/right to go through notifications. It works for me.

Thanx to Dennis who spent all the time in showing me all these halo gestures.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
:) Thanks for that.

The HDPI images for PIE on the ROM probably differ from CM/AOKP (AOKP literally is based from CM).

Tap once to unhide Halo if it's hidden and then swipe up.

I'm not a big fan of PIE myself, but that's something unique about SlimBean.

My favourite feature is the Widget Viewpager. I assigned long-press menu button to bring up the Widget Viewpager and with Play Music/Keep widgets it's easy to switch between tracks or type up a note.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I've looked at the source (https://github.com/AOKP/frameworks_base/commit/1f6ea799e4ae9ef93fd8749cc419c0633fcb9311) and I need to change the intent for the Torch; so I have to look at CMs Torch. I'll try and do that before I compile a test build.

Did someone mention something about AOKPs Torch before?
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
You my friend, deserve a Thanks for this pretty cool detail ! So, Thanks! :good::highfive:
[HTC Sensation] pmalav40:
Thanks MidnightDevil,

I hope u liked it that matters the most for me:D:)

So guys do u like a complete full screen widget?

See my screenshot.

U can do this in apex launcher.

Go to apex settings>advanced settings>widget settings> here u can turn off widgets padding.

Thus will make your widgets cover up the whole home screen if u resize the widget to full size after turning off widgets padding.

Or u can turn on horizontal padding and then turn off vertical padding.

This can also be applied to dock and home screen icons as well. U will get to use the whole space on your home screens without wasting vertical & horizontal peripheral marginal dead spaces.:)

I would also like to share that home screen grid size 6(rows)×6(columns) look awesome.

Thanx.
[HTC Sensation] Jubakuba:
Just need to change the intent to match your torch. If you're using CM torch they don't support an on/off intent but you can just substitute both intent strings from GlowPadTorchHelper.java with the same one that turns it on/off. You can find an example wherever you have another torch action. I.E. the torch toggle. There is a check (as you can probably see) to see if the user turned the torch on in another manner, and if so...ignore GlowPad intents.

And I don't mind you using it at all :good:.

Hints:

if (target == -1) {} else {}

Should be added to your ontargetchanged if your rom doesn't have that value.

Required for the reset on target.

Edit:

Also include this.

https://github.com/aokpx/platform_frameworks_base/commit/6826468b73937ff328442d5b3c42ed76a0664e9e

Which resets the screen timeout if you move your finger and torch is active.

And this:

https://github.com/AOKP/frameworks_base/commit/e78993273716b2b1aaf8e760451634d32bbfc840

Cleaner and allows SecureLocks to have an option as well (using the navring).
[HTC Sensation] TheKaser:
Hi Dennis, do you think you could include the aokp feature "clock short/long click actions", it is under clock settings in aokp based roms and serves to configure the action when touching the clock in the notifications drawer, diy example to open directly alarms or the calendar (really useful and time saving!)

Thanks man, you rock!
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks for that. I figured I would manually add the intent to CM Torch. I'll make use of the TORCH_TOGGLE intent instead; as you said.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
One step at a time; maybe after the Torch and the Halo disable option are properly working and I've merged upstream.
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
Hi

I am using latest test build its working awesome untill i applied another theme and after that whenever i reboot or attend calls "system ui stopped msg popped up.. :confused: "

I cleared cache and dalvik cache but still the same and also push the systemui.apk again but no luck...

Edit : And yes the best jb rom for my sensation... :D
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Android's layout doesn't like anything with a width below 0 and will throw an exception if anything does use anything below 0 (minus numbers).

Next test build will fix it. I'm fixing the compile errors now; shouldn't take very long.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
New test build compiled. I've added the option to disable Halo and I've added GlowPad Torch to the framework, but I need to add the option to enable/disable it to the settings application. It will be done next build. If you can find a way to enable it, give it a shot.

Hi,

Have U fixed pixilated images in halo/pie controls?

Any other changes? :confused:

Thanx. :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I need to merge them from CM or AOKP; but that'll be done when I release a build along with the lockscreen handle and the wallpaper. Test builds are just for testing, adding things and fixing. I let you guys play around with them because you provide feedback that I wouldn't otherwise get; it makes the ROM better in the long run.
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
on the latest test build

sometimes I got Halo glitch

usually when I open facebook notification

Halo will open mini windows

but what I get is halo opening full apps
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I have Facebook but since I've moved to G+, I don't get many notifications. I'll ask someone to tag me in a picture or something so I can't test it for you.

There is a small bug with halo, some applications use services (attached to their main application) to launch. This means when Halo tries to open the application or notification in a minimised view, it launches the service which opens the application full screen.

I'll let you know once I test it. Thanks!
