[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Greetings!

Hi spezi77.

I have joined xda developers forum just for this ROM (to give you my thanks)! Was a bit annoyed as I had to get a ten post count before I could post in here but never mind.

Allow me to give the low down from my point of view.

I am a N00b but not a N00b. By that I mean I have rooted my phone before but I don't change ROM's very often and I describe my level of knowledge with ROM's as a N00b. However, I do try and pick up on all the information. I decided to upgrade my Desire from Gingerbread (last ROm was Mild Wild) and was looking for a Jellybean ROM as I am a fussy person who likes stable and fast ROM's over a gadget ROM. However, I was amazed that there was a KitKat ROM available for my plucky Desire and could not pass the opportunity by! After reading through the thread, I thought that whilst this could be a bit buggy, it should have a decent amount of stableability.

So I brushed up on everything I needed, purchased 4Ext (what an upgrade!) and got the ROM running. First impressions are, what a great ROM spezi77!!

I installed this ROM last week and have been trying to get the best set-up for me. I downloaded some modules for the Xposed Framework, such as the LED module (Xposed LED Control), the Google search removal module (Xposed GEL Settings), a torch module (you can hold the volume up button to turn on the torch in standby mode, Xposed Tourch) and a module to modify the system clock etc (XUtilites). I am trying to keep things minimal and not all features on the modules work correctly, but some have essential features for me!

I am not sure how many of these things have been covered, or are anything to do with the ROM or the phone or whatever, so please excuse my N00b-ness!

But the following things I have come across/had issues with:

- The orange notification LED doesn't appear to work AT all. I know that the Desire only has three colours (green, orange and blue) but I can't seem to get orange to work at all, either using a module or an app's standard colour picker

- When turning the phone on from standby, it shows the homescreen (or whatever you were last looking at) and then quickly goes to the lock screen. Some times the clock only updates after a second of lock screen appearing. Is there some kind of lag or could it be the module that I have that has the screen unlock feature on it?

- I understand there is a KitKat issue with the video, but does anyone know what is happening about this (is this issue in the KitKat Stock ROM)? I can get a picture using stock video but it will not save, but if I use A Better Camera app, the picture is distorted with a green screen. Taking pictures and using video isn't something I use a lot, but when I need it, I really need it working! lol

- Would it be possible to add a feature that you can remove the emergency dialler from the lock screen? I've never liked this on all ROM's as it could be opened by accident and would rather it was removed or removeable.

- I use Go SMS as my text messaging app and Notify Pro as my text popup app. However, when I hit dismiss, it doesn't make the text message as read as it's set up to. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this problem?

- Would it be possible to change the signal strength to show numbers AND to keep the letter of the 3g rather than a small aerial that is currently displayed?

- When trying to open an app, I've had the phone freeze and then reboot, anyone else had this? I've not had it loads of times but thought I'd mention it.

- When connecting my headphones, it does not go to headset mode (no logo in the notification bar), and the headset only seems to work when using the stock music app

- I tried sending a screenshot picture using Gmail, but it wouldn't send the attachment. It sent the email but no attachment, is this a bug?

Aside from all these things, for me, there have been so many pluses about upgrading to this great ROM (like the Gmail layout in KitKat compared to the layout in Gingerbread) and spezi77 has done a great job. I still can't believe that I've got KitKat (or should I say, KitKang) on my Desire! Without it being too sluggish either! It's much better than I was expecting.

Keep up the good work dev, and I'll help with anyway that I can (if I can!), to make this ROM even better than it is.

Oh, and sorry for the long post, I like to be informative (in the hope that someone might find the information useful)!
