awesome rom ever

Hi Grarak and v_superuser,

Thank you very much for your great ROM. This ROM is the best than I ever try. Maybe part of reason is the great improvement from 4.4 to 5.0 itself. However, you guys really doing great job.

From the very beginning, nothing work except screen on. In half month, you guys fixed many problem and make almost everything work.

Previously, I have some issues which want to report also. However, you guys just fixed it before I wrote out. for example, the document (down) crash, close all activity option etc. My friends who use nexus 5 still do not have option to reboot the phone from power menu and you just added it. How great you are.

By the way, I already make this as my daily ROM and I am sure it will be the only one from now. If the following thing solve, this Rom will be perfect.

1. Audio: music pause from time to time, you need to click play

2. camera: the focus seems have some problem. the photo is bur or not that good quality as stock.

3. Flashlight: when click the flashlight on from pull down menu, the camera seems switch on at the same time (as i hear the focus sound)

4. Wi-Fi: after some time, the wi-fi icon will have ! next to the icon but internet work. when i reboot, the ! icon will then disappear.

5. Battery percentage: is it possible to show battery percentage on the icon or next to it all the time

Thank you very much for your great work again.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
concerning the camera, dont expect big improvements. Cyanogen rom is very bad for quality pics. HTC drivers arent included so you will always have some dirty quality with it...

same for boomsound drivers

I'm geting "Cant connect to camera" error when trying to start a camera, using 11/26 build
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
known issue on many CM roms

Camera access privilege related, if you read on google

just reboot phone, should work ;)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Arshwinick:

How to do a dirty flash as i m using my phone on cm11 currently ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
Just flash the ROM without wiping data, wipe cache and dalvik cache. And don't use the 11/26 build coz the camera and network doesn't work in that build.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Arshwinick:
Thank You so Much ..:) i ll surely try this tonight & i ll let u knw
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
can somebody confirm that? thx :)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] luka.miskovic:
tried reboot, wiped cache and problem still persists (google camera, focal, and some 3rd party camera apps aswell). anyone else on 11/26 having same problem?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ani_z:
Yes. I' m having the same problems. Also sound dissapears during play.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
11/26 build clean flash. Using torch from status bar causes full SystemUI force close. And the new default SMS app doesn't allow you to press the send button (set as default) but it does get incoming messages. Textra, which is the app I've been using for SMS becasue of the Lollipop design, sends messages just fine.

Also "can not connect to camera" on default app.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Arshwinick:
Thanks a lot bro data connection is working properly now on 11 / 25 buid & I have diabaled the gapps which are unusable like camera I have replaced it by Google camera from play store n its working fine
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
please report about battery life when you will have spent enough time on it :)

Thank you
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
So what are the issues with the 11/26 build? Are the media playback issues still present?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
I have been using it for two days now... The battery life is good... Nothing spectacular... I'm able to get a days worth of usage without any problems... And I mostly use my phone for surfing the Internet, music, YouTube and occasionally play some games...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] terryee:
It's a bit weird for me cause i i had root before this. I was using Grarak's official CM11 build. when i saw his CM12 released, i downloaded the zip, recovery and gapps for CM12. So i did a clean install, wiped everything including cache and partition, then i flashed the recovery, rom and gapps. everything works fine, the Rom is great. But what i noticed is, i lost my root privileges. It would sometimes work, but it wont update the SU binary. I'm using the a5_ul i think. Single sim. :eek:
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
This happened to me too. I just flashed the beta 2.23 supersu zip
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] terryee:
Oh okay, but i thought there's a new 2.35 version out now?

And now, when i boot into recovery, the recovery cant even detect my internal storage so i cant flash any zips. D:

PS: A really big thanks to the devs Grarak and v_superuser for the effort and time put into this phone. Great job!
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
Sorry maybe I remembered the number wrong. As for the recovery, which are you using? TWRP recovery will not work
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] terryee:
I'm using CWM 6.0.5.1 which is the one Grarak recommended to use. :)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
Hmm I don't know what the issue is....
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
new build released, any feedback :) ?

thankks
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ani_z:
audio playback

Camera was fixed but there is still audio playback problem.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
Thank you mate

Do you experience any kind of network problem, like poor wifi connection (signal) or 3G/4G?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
Wifi is fine, but still mobile network is a bit unstable. I could only test 3G cause we don't have 4G it works but suddenly it goes dark a reboot fixes it. Hope it helped you.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Have you tried changing your APN to Virgin Mobile?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
No I have't.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] terryee:
Okay apparently i solved my problem. I could boot to recovery but i keep getting the error of couldn't mount /sdcard. So i downloaded the latest SU which 2.35. and i learned a new thing called sideloading. LOL total lifesaver. So yeah i sideloaded the superSU and bam, i got my root back. Phew, thanks again to [MENTION=5815978]the_Victorian[/MENTION] for helping me previously. And thanks to the devs again for this amazin ROM!
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
No problem man! I enjoy helping people with their phones! I'm glad I could help.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajeshmanu:
U did dirty flash or clean install?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jaketsao:
htc_a5dug fail to install

can"t install, my device is htc 816x

got the message ----(status 7)

'
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
Can you tell us any more info? What recovery are you using? What building? Did you try downloading it again?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Your on Virgin Mobile right? If you didn't change your APN to Virgin Mobile then that's what's causing your data issues...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] terryee:
Okay so I'm on 11/27 build and i noticed that i cant power off the phone. Everytime i press power off, nothing happens.

I found the solution. It's quickboot mode. It's what's stopping the phone from powering off. Just go into developer settings and untick the box then you can power off like normal. It would be nice to have functioning quickboot tho. :D

#justanfyi peace :D
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jaketsao:
Htc 816 cm12 nfc is not function

NOW sucess

but NFC IS NOT FUNCTION!!!!!!!!
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
I'm glad you got it to work. Yes, nfc is a bug in cm12 currently
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] 11/27 Seems camera is functioning perfectly normal. And torch is fixed as well. :D

Still can't press send in default sms app, and NFC DID work on the 11/23 test build, but it's not working anymore?

Edit: If I get a text, and reply using the quick reply in notification bar, the message sends just fine.

The whole advanced reboot menu seems to be working for me, with the box ticked. On the 11/27 build as well.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
He meant the quick boot which is the one that doesn't fully shut the phone off, not the advanced reboot option
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I am still waiting that cm merge a nfc commit

For now you can still use the 23 build
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Yes and I said the whole advanced reboot menu works for me. Implying that quickboot works as well, as it is one of the options in the advanced reboot menu.

Unless I'm missing something?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Ah okay, I don't see a quick boot option in the advanced reboot menu. There's a separate option for quick boot to allow for faster boot times. The advanced reboot just gives reboot, soft reboot, recovery, and bootloader.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ani_z:
htc_a5dug

got the message ----(status 7)

Had the same problem. It is being solved by changing the name of compatible devices using note++ in update script. Just type htc_a5dug instead of a5dug or something.

META-INF -- com -- google -- android -- update-script

Save. And flash. Should work.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] stevebnes:
i'm using the virgin mobile model...is the 'no sim inserted' thing on the lockscreen just something that can't be addressed right now? otherwise everything works fine. i will get a random series of reboots after a day or so of use that's only fixed by wiping and flashing again.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jasonyu007:
Build 28 is up . Can anyone tell me if this version stable ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
I dirty flashed over CM11.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
Well the camera and network problems still exists and sometimes the media playback stops unexpectedly. Other than that its quite stable.

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jasonyu007:
Can anyone tell me how much storage left when flash this Rom ? The stock Rom storage left too small for me .
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Droid ram:
You get 4.05 gigs of internal storage with this ROM.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jasonyu007:
The 4.05 gigs is actual size or virtual size . The stock rom has display 4.05 gigs too ,but it just could use 1.4 gigs only
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] DamonBoboman:
The stock ROM gave me around 3.8... But this ZIP is smaller than the stock rom, doesn't include all the bloatware, meaning you have to install about an extra 100+ mb for GAPPS. You should still have around 3.8 no matter what, though.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Grarak was saying that there is more than one partition, or storage on this phone. And that one can't be accessed due to some reason that would require a bit of modding to get to.

CM12 even with gapps doesn't take up nearly close to 4 gigs, which is how much were missing out of the internal 8. I don't know if it's even possible but maybe someone can make that mod or do whatever it requires to get the extra storage.

I don't know much about the situation so I wouldn't be too exited, but just a hope.

Yeah battery life is much better can u tell me how should I switch to 3g as I m using Vodafone Indian carrier my data connection is working over 2g plz help
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
Mate, please show some kind of interaction with your community.

You never answer or almost and when you do, you often do it with very agressive words and disrespectful way of telling things.

I'm flashing since years, and i 've never saw a talented dev like you with such an arrogant way of answering to people who are asking things.

"Stop posting here". Who do you think you are to tell this to anybody? Maybe you are a "Recognizd Dev", but to me you sound even more like a uncouth dev. Show a bit of respect. You are not forced to fullfill requests of your users, but if you dont, at least respect them.

Screenshots, even for a CM rom (yes we know to what it looks like), or at least a changelog from version to another could be a good thing.

Think about this, and remember : as talented as you are, you remain a seventeen years old kid and have to learn respect for the future.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
No

Even I am seventeen I am still doing this for free

Be glad I share this with the " community"

Do you really think care about the users?

And why should I show respect?

I am investigating my time to provide you all the latest updates I could also take down this here

For now I going to stop the nightlies
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I decided not to release any builds until christmas or CM nightlies are out
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Just an update to tease you guys

No bugs left anymore except FM Radio.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Because I'm getting tons of messages everyday of people asking me where to download the rom.

I started nightly builds again

But I will keep this thread closed

And stop send me messages
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Santa Claus is coming to town....

So it's almost christmas and I'm done with my exams/finals now

I decided to reopen this thread

But the actual reason is that I got some time now to continue working on CM 12

The first step is to get the new m8 lollipop kernel running on our device

Since I don't have the single sim variant of the 816, I need the help of our single sim owners here

link to kernel:

https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=Grarak&dl=Grarak/test/boot.img

If you ask how to flash this image, I'm going to close the thread again.

Don't send me any PM's, I'll ignore them anyway.

ATTENTION! This kernel is for a5ul and a5chl variants.

If it work let me know. (probably not).
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] DamonBoboman:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+flash+a+boot.img&l=1

Just respond with that if someone asks, Grarak.

Thanks for continuing your unofficial build, I'm sure everyone else that uses it plus me appreciates your hard work.

And I hope exams went well for you, too.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] luka.miskovic:
just tried flashing boot.img. After cyanogen boot animation only getting black flickering screen, second time i got to see "Enter PIN" screen for a second and then it went back on black screen again. Keep up the good work
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Ok big thanks for the feedback

On dualsim variants this kernel does not work at all
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Glad to have you back, hope you did great on your finals man! So...i wanna test 4 u but how do i flash boot file from ur link?

Kidding!! Flashed the 12/19 nightly and then the boot.img over it and I seem to just be on a black screen when I boot up. the screen gets very slightly lit when I unlock it, and notifications are coming through.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] exlective:
Glad to see you reopening this thread, Grarak. Hope your finals went well, and I can't wait for you to update CM 12. I have one bug to report since I've hard this ROM (and it's been like that with every nightly I installed, everything was clean flashed). The call log. Most of the time it displays the people I've dialed as "unknown", but it displays the people who have called me or from who I have a missed call, sup with that?

I am using dual sim variant.

Versions up to 18 dec works great on my phone. I am bringing few items in notice

1. Light sensor is not working. (All other sensors works great) ;)

2. If i use sim slot 1, mobile data doesn't work, APN list is empty (i guess bug is in retrieving APN). If i use same sim in slot 2 everything works including 3g and 2g both are working.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] xxqxpxx:

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] sahil.bhardwaj:
All, just now i made a call on 21st dec build and voice was clear. Use sim slot 2 if mobile data is not working on sim 1.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] nitinzeon:
[MENTION=460116]sahil[/MENTION]: you are able to hear caller on second sim too???

I tried 18 Dec build but was not able to hear caller on sim 2.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] sahil.bhardwaj:
Yes, I am using second slot of sim only, first slot is empty (because mobile data is working on slot 2 only for me/aircel). I never tried two sims at same time in my device (because i don't have). Try it and let me..
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
Yes - I can also confirm that voice + data works in the 2nd SIM (airtel/India). Has anyone tries the GPS and google maps navigation? For me - the gps signal gets lost very often and it gets stuck. Anyone else seeing that?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] sahil.bhardwaj:
I will test GPS and navigation on the way to my office tomorrow. Did you try slot 1 for mobile data?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
Phone works fine for an alpha, battery life is ok, but i dont know why sometimes i got random reboots when phone is sleeping, this is pretty annoying :/

Yes - it is for HTC dual sim 816. Check the posts in the last few pages on the sim slots etc. YES - it does tend to FC and have to reboot (mainly if you play with the SIM settings).

Actually the rom have superuser inbuild. Just do a fresh install, don't Flash supersu, while existing cwm you will get prompt for fixing root, just say yes and reboot.
