[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey, thanks for your work. I have been using your previous build as a daily. Also I am a great fan of s2w so can you please explain what exactly was fixed about it?
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i think he speaks about the device settings, because on openDesire cm you can t disable it from there unless you install andromadus settings

[MENTION=301381]shaka[/MENTION]

great work:good:
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thanks for the explanation! Unfortunately I found that on android after 4.0.4 s2w leads to total touchscreen freezes and this usually happens when there is an urgent need in the device, so I will keep it turned off
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Well, like kylon said, it's replaced DeviceSettings.apk with custom one (non-official OpenDesireProject)
[HTC Desire S] Lapyyyyyy:
What about ART?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Hi folks, link removed because an issue!

Will be updated with new fixed&fresh ROM in 60 minutes

[edit] link is up!
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hi sHAKaJaada, thank you for your great work! Nothing yet?
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hi, headset mic issue a part, is this so fast so no glitches o flichering at all on every apps?

How about battery drain and do we need to update it every day as nightly?

grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
ROM was imagined to be a quasi-stable release for daily use so,

there will not be nightlies/updates until major visual and/or performance changes happen in Mokee / OpenDesireProject sources.

Working on it...

It's "baked" today so, need some time to see/check/observe...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
"ART is not officially supported by MoKee OpenSource as it is highly experimental and has the potential to cause instability, crashes, data loss..."
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you. What about glitches and flickering?

Do we need to flash always the boot.img you attached on your first page?

grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
boot.img is there for S-ON people :o
[HTC Desire S] Lapyyyyyy:
After first reboot - bootloop...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Is the phone S-ON? Did you flash boot.img over the fastboot?

I'm using this ROM too and still have no found issues about boot...

Fresh install (full wipe before)

P.S. info
[HTC Desire S] Lapyyyyyy:
S-Off, fresh install, with full wipe, with/without GApps. Black screen...

Enyone confirm that.:cowboy:
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hi sHAKaJaada, how can i replace the calendar with the newer google calendar please? and how can I replace this keyboard with the one with all symbols showed behind the letters example ?. , ; :....

grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
This one is stock calendar, only icon is changed; Google calendar you can install from Play Store;

Do you mean keyboard look like this one +-
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you. so do you think you can fix this?

Just another thing, please: when i receive a video in whatsapp and I try to open it....the audio starts, but the video not, or it starts at the end for few seconds only

Grazie,
[HTC Desire S] lapinmiguel:
I delete my APN and create new and now it's all right :p

Thanks :good:
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
I was able to fix the mic on headset issue in flinny's andromedus cm10.1 by just replacing the audio.primary.msn.3x7.so file in system\lib\hw but when I tried the same with mokee's very unofficial ROM the phone became dumb (no sound at all, whatsoever) so I tried flashing RIL_2.2.0131hm_3.zip from recovery and everything's good. Now, if I've help you someone please give me an alternate link other than Dropbox for this ROM :D because my internet connection sucks and my download fails halfways, and no pause/resume features. Wanna try out this ROM.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
DOWNLOAD link - Reflex Bow

Can you try internet download manager which have pause/resume download option if you are on Win...

I'll upload ROM today at download section on xda ...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
I tried via idm but it says that the site does not support pause feature...

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

I'm using anker 1600 mah battery and I would like to know if the framework_res.apk will make my battery last any longer. All the battery monitor apps detect my battery capacity as 1450 mah. Will pushing this framework_res.apk file give the correct mah reading by those apps?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Theoretically, framework with real value of used battery capacity should extended battery life because of reading and using exact (whole) battery capacity...

I can't test other frameworks because of mine battery is the origin HTC one (1450mAh).

Also, after flashing ROM it's recommended to full charge your battery and in (some) recovery do a "wipe battery status" when is fully charged.
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
Hey can you please make flashable zip of Battery framework so the same can be flash through recovery.

I am using Anker 1600 battery and unfortunately could not succeeded in pushing the framework file in the ROM...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
There is in attachments in the first post framework installer zip. Just put framework you need into zip -> system -> framework folder and flash from recovery...
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
Couldn't copy file into the system folder so kept the framework file in SD card and tried to flash in recovery but it shows Failed...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
In the first post on this thread download the attached file "framework-res_installer.zip", open it and open system\frameworks and there you'll find a text file titled " put your preferred framework-res.apk file here" or something like that. Delete it and put the framework-res.apk file for 1600 mah (which I presume you've already downloaded) there and flash it via recovery.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
It's so simple but... put framework-res.apk into folder before deleting .put_framework-res.apk_file_here.txt!
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
I've flashed the framework-res.apk and I think there is an improvement on the battery (19% in 1 h 8 mins). Though it's night and I'm on minimum brightness. But I'm still waiting for your upload of this ROM [MENTION=4228920]sHAKaJaada[/MENTION] so that I can try it... :)
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
From where to wipe the battery stat ....could not find in TWRP.....

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

Finally able to flash the same...thanks
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
Battery charging 94% but indicator light is Green...

Already flashed required battery framework.

Using Anker 1600mah battery
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This is an AOSP feature for more than 4 years now. The charging light gets green at 90%.

You may use Google to find more details

PS: why do you have the Soft buttons enabled? The 4 hardware touch buttons are working fine, you are just reducing the available screen space.
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hello, no solution for headset mic?

I've noticed that the screen has a slight flickering ....something to do with light sensor maybe?
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
Thanks for info.

Soft keys enable to just have Lollipop feel...:D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] ThatRottenGuy:
hi, just my 2 cents

- i am experiencing flickering keyboard when sliding notification panel from top

- random freezes of keyboard - part of the keyboard does not respond / OR touching key results in repeated writing of another one (always same one)

anyone having same problems? it only happened to me while using reflex bow, though great rom, last problem is really pushing my temper... :)
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Did you flash the latest build, 1.02? I'm using this build also but i have not seen still any flickering and/or that keyboard freezes...

Tip: Reboot after first boot-up.

BTW: there is no more support for saga in the MoKee's git repo (END-OF-SUPPORT)... Only what can i do is to make some tweaks and build 4.4.4 version from latest synced source which is already used to build latest version - 1.02... :(

Will see if there will be possible to build Lollipop based on MoKee... I'm doing Lollipop repo sync now...
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey [MENTION=4228920]sHAKaJaada[/MENTION]

There are some commits in the CM11 branch of the OpenDesireProject since Jan 21, 2015 when the MoKee/android_kernel_htc_msm7x30 was last synced. Are they present in your build?

Also I am interested in this commit that makes that commit obsolete - do you think its worth implement it?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
MoKee didn't syncronized saga kernel sources as they seems had abandoned saga project. There is no problem to add the changes and build new kernel but better ask Mustaavalkosta for what are those changes

This is some stuff for s2w and double tap2wake i guess but in Reflex Bow builds s2w has been solved with custom app named Sweep2Wake instead of DeviceSettings which is in CM11... another one is for CM12

-------

after i finish build for Moto G which is now in progress on my PC will make new kernel with those changes...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
New kernel

Here is a new kernel bootV2.img also in attachments in #1 post...

News are: new governors (smartassV2 and intelliactive), new I/O schedulers (sio and fiops) and other tweaks by kernel maintainer...

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

Thnx @Mustaavalkosta and @amidabuddha for changes reporting...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you. In pratics what does this mean? sorry for my ignorance.

Grazie,
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:


When are you going to upload it?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Sorry...

I made upload of the ROM to the xda but at the end i get some error and file can not be saved on xda servers...

Kernel is up in the first post as attachment bootV2.img...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Is this a new rom or the same as in the first post?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
ROM is the same v.1.02, kernel is new one!
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Just flash in fastboot? What should we expect to improve with this please?

Grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
You don't need to flash it if you only want to test/try it...

Do a:

fastboot boot boot.img

and ROM will boot with new kernel...

As mentioned before, there are new governors and I/O scheduler and all other tweaks by Mustaavalkosta
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
My phone does not connect to the PC... Please suggest me a good app to flash kernel from the phone itself...
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
That was fast, thanks!

Testing Intelliactive governor now :)
[HTC Desire S] devinfriday:
Hi,

i am using this rom since first releases and i'm very happy about it. Fast, lightweight, only a few bugs:

1) i have configured the desktop with 2 screens, one widget and a few app's shortcut. When the phone is rebooted everything is lost;

2) Cannot install a different recovery, 4EXT Recovery Updater fails to install 4EXT Touch Recovery without any warning or reason, the default recovery turn on the phone when on charging from off, that's not good.

Everything else is ok, minor translation issue in my lang (italian), like "Smart Control" into "Controllo Furbo", very funny ;)
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Will take a look for next build. I think i've senn disabled an option for 2 screens in framework or somwhere else, i don't remember but will find it...

Will recheck what's wrong with recovery; btw i'm using 4EXT Recovery too installed via 4EXT Recovery Control app...

Saranno stati i developers a fare traduzione via Google translate x il loro strings extra (molto probabile)... :D non ho fato caso ma cerchero di correggere qualche string fasulo x il prossimo build...

Chi ha voglia puo correggere ... https://crowdin.com/project/mokee-opensource
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
sHAKaJaada, thank you for your work. Any chanche to have the mic and hangouts issues fixed?

Do you think it will be possible?

Grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Boo... will see dai... ;)
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I have flashed the one boot.img uploaded at the beginning of this post. Is it the same as bootV2.img or it is different. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

It is the same file size though. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Strings to translate

Here are some strings for next build for Mms.apk with options to mark/unmark all sms/messages as read/unread...

If you want that translated strings will be integrated into next build in yours language, please translate it an send me a PM of translated strings for your language.
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
green icon please!:D
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
There is new custom touch recovery (4EXT based) in attachments in first post!

Flash it from bootloader:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Mms.apk - Stock green icon

Push both of files Mms.apk and Mms.odex into system/priv-app then reboot...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Ok, thanks, the green icon is back!

Now, once i have flashed the new kernel, which option should I choose ? smartass or intelliactive?

grazie
[HTC Desire S] gigidel:
sHAKaJaada icon is to large, why, how to resize to normal, like on the previous rom, manual network search not working, by the way rom is excelente

[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Press menu button from the home screen than sweep up launcher menu, at the botom of the menu is APP SETTINGS submenu with option "Larger icons" - OFF/ON and choose OFF
[HTC Desire S] gigidel:
thankssssssssssssssss, there is a much more settings, about scroll effect etc......:good::fingers-crossed::cowboy:

all the best
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Can someone else try to manually set/chose another network operator from menu Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Search networks, if it's able to choose another operator...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hello, who can tell me which one is better (smartassv2 or intelliactive) and how to make them as default even after restart, please?

Grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
CPU governors explained and check Set on boot (Imposta all'avvio) to make it survive after reboot...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you. I've seen that. But as I am enough stupid... which one would you suggest please?

Grazie

[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
NEW BUILD

Later tonight new build - fastest and smoother ever... probably last one of KitKat... (END-OF-DEVELOPMENT)

C U L 8 R....
[HTC Desire S] Saf98:
Maybe you have to wipe the old splash IMG with a command and then flash the new one?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Wish I could try but this is my main phone which has ics for daily use but I have another spare phone which is desire bravo that I test on.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
AFAIK the HTCdev unlock method unlocks only the recovery, boot and system partitions for customisation.

The rest of the partitions like radio, hboot, misc, splash can be rewritten only with S-OFF plus Engineering bootloader
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Please upload it elsewhere, not in Dropbox...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Ok... will be on MEGA too...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
You can't on XDA devdb or github?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
There is also torrent in attachments...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Thanks bro...
[HTC Desire S] pramod.shinde1981:
That will be awesome:)

You are one of the fastest I ever saw on XDA. In terms of resolution of query and development too...and that too very patiently . Keep it up...Million thanks...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Seconded... :)
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:

Torrent not downloading... :confused:
[HTC Desire S] lapinmiguel:
Hy sHAKaadaJa !!!

I can't. I've got a message error "an error that occurred when the network search"

Edit:

I"m on Ground Zero

I'll test probably this week-end :D
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Wanted to really test this ROM but seems like the most elusive ROM for me... :mad:
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Hi, I installed the new rom without any problem (clean install).

The default cpu governor is interactive. I find my phone less smooth, respect to the previous build. Which one should I choose please?

grazie
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Reboot after initial set-up has been finished...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
I did several times... so should I leave the default one (interactive)?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
OK! Solved issue for manual network operator search&select!!!

I will put the patch soon...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Finally, downloaded from Mega....going to flash now...
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Finally, flashed the ROM...thanks for this great ROM...now I would like to ask a question...I've flashed the framework-res.apk via recovery successfully but when I compared the file sizes of the one on my framework-res.zip and the the one on my phone's system folder is different . It is 18mb and 17mb respectively...now I'm really in doubt if the file was really pushed into system\framework directories...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Fix for network manually select is in attachments in first post.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I applied adb command as the instruction, it was not successful. And there is no file in the directory using terminal emulator. Please tell me what should I do next. Thanks for your help and contribution.
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Apparently it is a noob question... Sorry for my ignorance...
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I used root explorer successfully installed libhtc_ril.so. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Important

Whoever has flashed framework-res.apk with old attached framework updater zip, please

push framework-res.apk via adb

or wait until i upload new error free updater.zip...

There was an error in updater script so nothing happen after flash...

Sorry for inconvenience...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
New framework-res.apk installer

Please, everyone who has flashed different framework with old framework installer before,

re-do a framework update with new

Reflex_Bow_framework_installer.zip

from attachments in first post!!
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you.

CAn we install this in recovery just like gapps? And do we need to flash the boot.img again after that?
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Mic on headset issue

Bug/issue that remain is wired headset mic in-call issue...

I'm working on it to try to solve...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
grandeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[HTC Desire S] Saf98:
So is most if the things working for daily use?
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
So my curious noob question turned out to be helpful... :D anyways, thanks for the quick fix bro... After flashing the framework-res Cpu-z reads my battery as 1600 mah but DU battery Saver still reads it as 1450 mah...will update on the battery life later after testing...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
I did this from my pc, command prompt:

adb remount

adb push libhtc_ril.so system/lib

adb shell chmod 644 system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

adb reboot

It worked for me.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

May I add some other minor issues, please?

-hangouts: it works both for calls and videocalls, but soon after you have finished it closes itself with "l'applicazione si è bloccata in modo anomalo" segnala/OK. If you choose "ok" then hangouts starts again

-stock browser: it's very slow in rendering, and it shows flickerings very often or partial missing area on the web page. Sometime this flickering is where the keyboard should be. I don't know if this is a clue. Chrome, although is more heavy, is a bit better in rendering

-many apps have a bad redrawing issue, I mean a black bold backgroud under the text or the icons inside the app. CAn't send a screenshot because it comes back to normal after a second or if i touch the screen

-all video in whatsapp usually don't start immediately, but the sound is ok. Then if you stop, restart the video, then it is ok

-headset mic issue for normal calls. But It seems to me that it works fine in skype or other voip

Grazieeeeeee
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Yes, something like that! Thank you
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
In all the previous sense ROMs and even in Flinny's andromedus CM 10.1, that I've tried, mobile data connection did not get disconnected during calls and I could browse while on calls. But in this ROM I found that this feature is not present. I don't know if it's a bug or a KitKat feature but would love to have that feature.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
It's disabled in 4.4.x ROM but i don't remember why. If i remember, there was an'issue before in GB with data enabled while in call... BTW it's disabled only on 2G/2.5G. Not while you're on 3G!
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
OTA update

There is OTA update/patch in the #3rd post for Reflex Bow 1.03

#include RIL patch for manual network operator select...

Just flash from recovery...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Kk end of development

As a KitKat is not supported anymore from a while, there will not be newer releases anymore...

Later today i will upload definitly build and for future updates, if any, i will post an OTA patch/update...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you, is this build a new one or is it the same with the patch for 3g network in?

Grazie
[HTC Desire S] t0bb:
Very nice!

Hi,

So far this ROM works great! For me it's one of the more stable ones out there.

It looks great and built for desire S by someone who knows the device.

I like large icons, and overall simplicity. Also very important, you can download any app from Play Store.

For example I had troubles with some of the builds out there, when trying to download Whatsapp. It wouldn't give a download option, and I had to flash it manually. That caused frequent crashes in the app

I have a bit of a battery issue. Fast drainage, and slow charging. The battery is brand new. I guess I need to reset calibration maybe?

What would be best way to do it?

Also, did I flash the framework correctly?

download installer zip>>put my battery value pack (1650mAH) inside the zip>>flash it from recovery

Thanks Dev, and everyone who contributed
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
New build with new kernel, some more tweaks for APN's, updated changelog/infos about version...
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
In recovery i've posted in the first post is an option to wipe battery status: on FULL (100%) charged battery, reboot into recovery and from wipe/format options -> wipe battery status than reboot;

Get properly framework for your battery and drop unzipped framework-res.apk into framework-flasher.zip->system->framework folder
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
Final build

...is up. No new builds will be uploaded anymore. Only OTA updates/patches...

To install future OTA updates you have to keep untouched all apps which comes in LTS build!
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Please upload on mega too..
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Dropbox is not working any more. It said too many public traffic, unavailable. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
I'm doin' upload to MEGA right now... link will be in the first post...
[HTC Desire S] Ammiraglio:
Thank you.

What are the main differences in the new kernel please? Any further improvements?

grazie
