Hey [MENTION=4352142]vinprivag[/MENTION]

I hope your still supporting this amazing rom, do you think you'll update it to android L (4.5).

It will make the rom a whole load better, or is our Desire s finally reach its end of days.
[HTC Desire S] Saf98:
I want to try this rom (in on sense Rom atm) can you put the bugs in the first post so I know what's working and what isn't.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
My device is broken now, the only way is to put a new chipset ,so I doubt I will be supporting it completely, but in the other hand ,my cuz has DS, If(it's a big if) he agrees to experiment with his phone, I might give a update or two. (its a pretty big if)
[HTC Desire S] dobrun.franjo:
:)

if u pay for postage i can give u one of my 2 Desire Ss :)

what du u say :)
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
You are really kind and considerate man, thanks a lot for your offer.you don't have to give it away. I will try and come up with an alternative
[HTC Desire S] rkumbhar:
help me i am using 4ext touch recovery v.1.0.06 rc3 i am getting error status 7 while flashing this rom
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
I may try this rom tomorrow aswell as Cm11 so glad someone is up to making a kitkat rom for our fabulous desire s, when 4.4.3 is out will this also be updated to it or will it just stop at 4.4.2. Also the 4.4.3 may fix the camera and audio issues I do believe that nexus 5 has trouble with camera, I wonder if that's a similar what's wrong with this rom audio though I do not know, unfortunately audio is more important then camera, but camera would also be nice. :)
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Yes.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
I tried doing that but it doesn't seem to work.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
It might get the update, it all depends if and when I rectify camera and audio issues. I'm trying to port Xperia to our device but facing the same issue there too.
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Maybe u can check with flinny or devil-kin to check wht is causing the issue for cam and sound
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Have you tried to see if sound is working through headset?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
They never had this issue apparently! Hardluck
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
I will get back to you on that
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Just wondering does anyone want a Xperia kitkat edition on our device??
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
I was looking forward to see if any one will port xperia to our device....I will gladly help test it if u make it a success
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Microphone also does not work I've just flashed so I can try and do a few things and sound through headset does not work either as I just tested it.
[HTC Desire S] serrano147:
YES YES YES PLEASE!!! :laugh::laugh::good:
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Also what I find puzzling is that this rom is cyanogenmod based but the sound, microphone and camera don't work so surely it's either the wrong drivers for this device or something should be able to be extracted from flinnys cm11 you should ask for some help as I do like this rom apart from the scrolling animations.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
so i got good news...camera is fixed!!!

nothing on sounds now..will post a build soon.
[HTC Desire S] Behzadsh:
What is exactly the sound problem?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
no sound from anywhere...no incall ,no media sounds nothin
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
That's really a good news hope u get it working sooner
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
good news again...sound fixed!!!!:highfive::good:

tentative upload of new build :sunday

p.s:if you guys are lucky you will see a xperia build too:cool:
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Thts a good news, will wait for the builds to upload.... yes we want to be lucky with a xperia build. thks again for yr efforts.:D
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Link for new fixed sound?
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Is it fully usable and stable, and have you checked to see if mic works if so I'm very much grateful
[HTC Desire S] steve_htc_wizard:
Is there a link to the fix or do we wait till sunday for the new build like you mentioned?

I don't know if this rom has swipe soft keys to wake but if not is there any chance of it? i really like that feature although i know some people don't due to battery drain, maybe a edit to disable for those who don't want it?

i have noticed that some roms that have it don't have any vibrate when the buttons are swiped to unlock and others vibrate every time you touch them in sleep mode whether your unlocking or not, could this be what people are getting battery drain from cos my current rom rts 1.2.5 (ICS) does not vibrate when touching the buttons in sleep mode and does not suffer any noticeable battery drain.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
If this ROM does not have it, you can always use xposed modules
[HTC Desire S] steve_htc_wizard:
what do you mean by exposed modules?
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I personally dont use this ROM, but you can try to install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.fjss.s2w

and see if swipe2wake feature is there...
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
You may find it useful for other things, but check this site out,

[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Okay, so I'm thinking of merging 4.4.3 in the next build (just to avoid downloading 2 times and save everyone's bandwidth) due to which the build "might" get delayed. (and mic is acting weird goes on and off)
[HTC Desire S] steve_htc_wizard:
We can wait for extra goodies!

Take your time and get fixed what you need too, no point pushing it out whilst known bugs lurk.
[HTC Desire S] Ruling:
i have updated to 4.4.3 now.
[HTC Desire S] steve_htc_wizard:
In a quick look through that thread I cant find one for sweep to wake although I was tired and should look again now but there's a tonne of other really great stuff there and I had not heard of the modules before, it seems a lot like update cabs on windows phone 7 but a thousand times better, thankyou!
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
Where are newer builds? I can see only the one from 15th may.
[HTC Desire S] broucker:
News?! Everything working? I want to use as stable Rom.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Ppl as I said, it might get delayed as I am merging it with 4.4.3,and mic goes on and off... If you want to download again and again lemme know I'm ready to waste your bandwidth as well as mine..
[HTC Desire S] xdanewbnewb:
I'm currently on PAC and am just wondering is there any pro's upgrading to this ROM? And would it be a standard flash / install from zip?

I bought Titanium so I can run that after the wipe.

Thanks a mil for every developers hard work in to giving this phone some life!
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
We can wait for an updated and bugless ROM also will there be a standard and an xperia versions of 4.4.3
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
by standard you mean like CM??

and im working on xperia..
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
well i felt it really smooth[i mean smooooooth]{or is it just me :p } and you can look in the first post for all the pros
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:

[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
New build on the way!!![merged with 4.4.3]:good:
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Got some spare time aoTried with devil kin sound fix no luck still no sound.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Will this be the final build as in fully stable barely or no bug's at all
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
It should be up in a few hours go ahead and test it, personally I haven't used 4.4.3 that much. Any rom has to run for atleast 2 days to know how it's doing...
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Will there also be an Xperia build along with AOSP ?... eagerly waiting for xperia rom
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Soon... Soon ? (to be honest I was going to put it up today but I made the port with a small glitch from my side)
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Rom updated!!!!,merged with 4.4.3,and few more changes...enjoy and let me know the bugs

P.S:you might have to apply the ringtone fix in the 1st post.

[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:

[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
feature in lock screen...

which we had in previous builds 4.4.2 not there in 4.4.3.

currently don't have 4ext recovery

we download tomorrow and post results.
[HTC Desire S] Lynxen:
fix couses errors. relink it.
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Facing the same issue as describe by lovinaakash
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Are you on 4ext??
[HTC Desire S] zeus.lny:
Yes... on latest 4Ext... had FC with Dialer, Camera and Occasional Setting FC
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Okay, i just checked it, settings fc is occurs only once after reboot and dailer fc os persistent... I will work on and check before my next upload
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Dailer fc fix : install this dialer and you will do just fine... So all fc fixed... Any others?. http://www.mediafire.com/?8bxlxunpvyymszl
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
And what about lock screen feature its too merged kya?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Are you talking about notifications on lock screen?? M
[HTC Desire S] steve_htc_wizard:
4.4.3 Build

found a bug, if you tap on buttons in settings, settings crash completely and return you to home screen.

Also, Is it possible to upload this rom without all the Chinese apps preinstalled please?

There are a few of them and they are no use to anyone who cant read Chinese!

I've tried to get rid of them as they are really bugging me but the o.s won't let me uninstall them.

Other than that, its looking really good so far, thanks!
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Has lockscreen feature added?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Again, Aakash are you talking about the notification on lockscreen?? Or is it something else.
[HTC Desire S] phayz:
I only flashed this ROM 24 hours ago but I like what I have seen so far. It seems very responsive, and has all the standard Kit Kat features I expect. Settings FCs on first launch but opens just fine on all subsequent launches. For some reason, I can not start Messaging as I get a message that it has stopped. I installed another build of the Messaging app from the Play Store and it is working just fine, so I don't know why the default one won't work. I was look forward to that feature because I want to have a larger font size in message content. The dialer FC'd as I expected but this was resolved with the new Dialer APK provided in the thread. I have not been able to flash the ringtone fix as when I try flashing it, the resulting messaging is that it is not in a flashable format.

There are a few features which I was expecting but which don't seem to be present:

* Ability to adjust the ListView animations. Another video on Mokee shows several options in the "Interface" section of the Settings app.

* Notifications on the lockscreen

I have no idea about the following features. Where could I find a complete description?

* Task switching sidebar in recent apps

* MoKee Setup Wizard

* Active Display

My phone is currently was in Power Save(r) mode when the battery was low, but I don't know where this option is enabled or configured.

Overall, thank you for making this ROM available.
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Yes notification
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
almost all of the mokee features are retained , even if i did miss [which i believe i dont] i will be adding them in next build +some extra [if possible]
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
U miss out lockscreen notification but still no issue would wait for yours next builds.
[HTC Desire S] :
Fantastic news! Is there any way of getting a list of Mokee ROM standard features? I know you have most listed in the first post but I would like to go to an official site and read further descriptions of the features. When I go to the home page listed in the first post, I end up at a web site which contains mostly Chinese, which sadly I cannot read.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Use Google chrome it will translate the page for you

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

For lock screen notifications download from play store NiLS notifications lock screen its free and uses your current lock screen
[HTC Desire S] phayz:
Hmmm... I have used NiLS before and although it works OK, I would prefer native lockscreen notifications. I am currently trying DashClock with standard extensions.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
So what's the verdict for this ROM.

Pros and cons please
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Will this get merged with the 4.4.4 update
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Yes.. Didn't have time.... Will do it soon
[HTC Desire S] pandaball:
Download links have been removed temporarily as the ROM includes a third party market application which allows downloading paid apps for free, ie warez. The ROM will be back up shortly once the OP re-uploads the ROM. Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
ill soon be uploading 4.4.4!!!:p:fingers-crossed:

[might not update 4.4.3 links]
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
So would you say this is stable
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
I'm little short on time for now... Haven't started porting 4.4.4..

Don't worry this time it will be far stable (I want it that way)
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Would it be possible for you to port carbon ROM 4.4.4 to the HTC desire s?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
i tired but lot of bugs,have to find a stable port rom!
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Have you started merging 4.4.4 yet looking forward to it
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
I've started... I'm getting 1fc which is not getting solved apart from that it's good to go...
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
Which fc are you getting?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Systemui and occasionally settings... [emoji19]
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
How much progress have you made?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
check out the port by ruling himself...its good stuff...and hes managed to merge it with 4.4.4!!! i`ll be working on my part too simultaneously
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Rom updated!!

Enjoy!! :)

[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hello, what do you mean with "stable"? As far as I know, there will never be a stable version for DS, because of the low resources of our device.

I tried all the latest builds available (KK4.4.4) and all have the same issues: lags, freezes, graphic corruptions for some apps (seems something like drawing refresh rate...), hot temperature even during normal condition, soft reboots, shortcuts disappearing....

Am I wrong?

This is not a polemic, of course, just my experiences using it for some days.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
getting strange visual artefacts on the status bar bass also play store for some is not loading the home screen and WhatsApp is not available to download because apparently the device is not compatible with that version.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Thanks. Do you have changelog?
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Can anyone else confirm this... Because I'm not getting "strange visual artefacts"... About WhatsApp you have to install from their website
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Ma man... No offence intended but stop undermining ppl and I don't have to upload this here.. I want to share what I have and give other ppl the opportunity to try something new..... U r welcome to try this and tell me how "stable" this is... You always have a choice to not choose this ROM... You don't see a Emma Watson checking out this ROM - coz she had a choice to take a different one (just saying) [emoji13]
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Major stuffs:merged with latest CM11, it can be used as a daily driver, few basic performance tweaks, the fc which were there in the last build are not there anymore
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hey man, calm down. My post was not offensive. Maybe my bad english. Sorry for that,

I was only stating that all builds, not specifically yours only, have the same issues, For this reason I am asking if this is really stable,

That's all,

Thank you for your great work indeed.

Ciao
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
I do not known whether it was only happening while I was setting up because it seems to have stopped, sometimes on occasion system ui crashes and locks the phone and then when I unlock it says system ui has crashed can't remember exactly what it says but its the system ui, I have to reboot my phone in order to access my phone.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
I'm chilled out man.. See the smiley at the end.. (its not a Hannibal smiley ☺ )
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
When did the systemui FC occur???
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Well the first time was when I used another launcher and the second time was just random I swiped down for the notification centre and it just crashed locked the phone and kept crashing when i swiped to unlock.

Although this is not as important but the swipe to unlock is not centre its too low.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
well the system UI has completely crashed now and the WiFi is not working i can still use my phone though this time i dont keep getting a dialog popping saying its crashed but it almost looks like it was never there, i reinstalled the rom but still no luck a fresh install will most likly fix the problem but what I'm saying is that I've set it up and now I'm going to have to do it again. p.

p.s why bugs have to exist there annoying lol
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
anyone else having this problem???
[HTC Desire S] Hitman32:

Are you using touch if so what version download 4ext recovery control off of play store and see if you need an update
[HTC Desire S] Hitman32:
I am using 4EXT v2.2.7 from here

[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Try 4ext recovery touch 1.0.0.6 RC2 because that's the one I'm using and I have had no problems.
[HTC Desire S] Hitman32:
Back button not working?

OK! I installed the 4EXT Touch Recovery as told by [MENTION=5511145]powerwill[/MENTION] and finally installed the ROM then flashed the micro version of GApps as there was not enough space, now the back button does not work and Google Keyboard keeps on FCing and I have to use the Home button everytime!
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Do you mean minimal gapps? Try installing the one from July 2/5..
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
did you format all partitions except SD card, and I installed 7-24_GApps_Standard_4.4.4_signed.zip.

And usually google keyboard crashes when the wrong gapps has been installed as I've found out in the past, the back button sometimes don't work but when the phone properly starts up its usually fine put hardware back to kill on at the bottom of devolper options it usually solves it.

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

Hope you don't mind me helping, also internet keeps dropping on WiFi and I have to keep turning WiFi off and on
[HTC Desire S] Hitman32:
Yes I did format all the partitions except SD card. And no, I installed the micro gapps from here. This is the latest and from july 25
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Hmm right you need to go into a file manager and find the keyboard apk in system/app and reinstall that should fix the FClose issues
[HTC Desire S] Hitman32:
Well, I installed the Mokee from another forum and installed the mokee gapps that was given there and it solved the problem.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-desire-s/development/rom-mokee-opensource-project-t2817875
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Try the mokee gapps from above post.. Let me know if WiFi still drops
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
I will try next time it does it, hopefully it won't, but after a reboot it seems to be ok. Hopefully its for good now.
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
WiFi dropped again so I installed mokee gapps but WiFi still drops.
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Have you installed any 3rd party battery saver apart from mokee battery saver?
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
I have not installed and battery savers I only use the one built in
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
You did clean flash right?
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Yes, I did

Ok thank you, it holds for a few hours then drops I don't know it could be kernel issue because I have to flash using "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
[HTC Desire S] hurricurry:
Maybe a odd question. How much free space is there after a clean install. As the gf has problems with free space because the stock ROM takes up a shotload of space

Via ext recovery

What I did

Format all without sdcard

Restore apps via titanium backup.

Freeze.

[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
It might be a problem of gapps...which gapps did you use?
[HTC Desire S] lovinaakash:
7.15 minimal
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
Try factory reset after installing ROM and gapps, then restore apps with titanium
