Thanks Mustaavalkosta for this hint:

Today I had the courage to test it. But nothing changed! When I try GPS Status & Toolbox I still have no GPS sign in the status bar and therfore no GPS fix! When I go back to 2015-01-13 build the GPS sign pops up in the status bar and I have immediately a GPS fix. Strange! So something changed, when you did something with the GPS on 2015-01-15. What did you exactly? Can someone confirm that GPS is working with builds after 2015-01-15? When I am right, there are no confirmation posts after 2015-01-15.

Thanks a lot for your help!

P.S.: I am S-ON and my radio is RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M.

If u want something to use daily u might aswell flash an ics custom rom.
[HTC Desire S] optimus_blade:
U have to use HTC dev to unlock your bootloader then u can flash recovery. So go to their website and follow the same method for fastboot.

that was of great help. I unlocked my device plus installed the twrp too....took system backup...not ready to install lollipop rom given here. I had downloaded 205 version..now i c 207 available ...sud i install 205? any prob?
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Maybe I mixed up the confirmation with something else. Anyways, I just put prebuilt GPS HAL blob back for saga. I don't dev for saga, I only copy & paste changes I do for ace so commonizing things doesn't break saga. If someone wants to figure out why source built GPS HAL doesn't work for saga, feel free to dig into the logs. Prebuilt blob was causing issues with ace like slowdowns when GPS fires up and even after it was supposed to be off logcat was filled with GPS related flood. Source built HAL works much better now for ace.

all done. got lollipop installed and running but encountered some problem. may u b able to short it out. At first it worked fantanstic. camera rear and call all good. but when i restart my phone it takes 10-15 minutes to boot. after that it says program not responding wait or ok on home screen everytime u on. moreover , when i click camera. it say "unfortunately camera has stopped". The same ocurring to most of app including gplay gallery camera n many more. What to do. why its taking too much tym in booting? and these probs. On first boot everything was cool exept boot tym which is the same. Did i missed anything?

so the gps is not working. Is that possible to revert changes and make it work [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] ?
[HTC Desire S] oarodlie:
Been using the HTC Saga as my primary phone for over a month (updates nightly once a week), in general works ok as a phone.

Issues I noticed so far:

- GPS don't work, get the systray icon and applications connect to the GPS "service" but no output

- Bluetooth send is broken (worked on earlier builds), will freeze phone for some secs and fail. Bluetooth receive works

- installing gapps makes the phone slow and more or less unusable (don't care, don't use it, just wanted to test)

- must turn off animations from devtools to get "usable" performance (the phone works best in battery saver mode)

Keep up the good work, if you need any help on anything (building/development/kernel) just let me know.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Hey,

Help is always appreciated, especially if you know how to compile, ecc and you have a device

As mustaavalkosta said, on tomorrow build the gps will work again
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Ok,so the gps is now working. How about those calls. 3 htc desire s phones to confirm. (My friends and i)... when i would place a call it imedeatly (sorry for bad english) says call not sent,and then it hangs up. It worked on all versions i tried:android 2.2 , 2.3 , 4.0 , 4.1 , 4.2 , and even 4.4 so can you pls fix this, then you could label it as Ready For Daily Use... Thanks in advance. If you need log, just tell me how to pull it,and i will send it.

Edit. My parents dont currently allow me to go to my pc,so i just posted a link for it. Tell me if it works.

[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Alrighty then. I found the problem, and ive seen the changelogs, mt s for serbia is fixed,and it works. But t mobile from montenegro does not. Gonna have to degrade to 4.4 until that is fixed. Anything i can do to help sort the telphony issues out?
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
You didn't read all the posts. :) You can request a new SIM card from your service provider. It has fixed both cases I have seen on ace.
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Ace? ... Never mind, i cannot request yet,because i need to wait for the contract to expire first,so i can shut this one down,and get a new one. My dad got a new phone so it extended MY contract. F*k...

Edit. My contract will expire tomorrow so i will try the change of the sim card. I will report back ASAP.
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
You could have called the operator because your SIM was "malfunctioning"... ;)

(Better don't use the old SIM until you've received a replacement... ;))
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
He he. Funny. Anyways I'll get it sorted out. I got this one about 3 yes ago. Wish me luck.
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Weird service provider you got there if it won't replace lost/damaged SIM cards. I can order new SIM card whenever I want one regardless whether I have contract or not. Changing service providers is completely different story but this only requires new SIM card, nothing else has to change.
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Yup. Its strange,but at least theyre tne best in montenegro. My contract finally expired,so i will try and get a new one for free.

And also,what the eff does ACE mean. Is it a nother model or what?
[HTC Desire S] Saf98:
Desire HD is ace. Ours is saga desire s

Hello,

First thanx for great job on this rom :)

1. Adaptive brightness seems to do nothing at all. Just me?

2. Battery drain is pretty bad even on 2G - compare to 4.4.4

3. Camera quality seems better than 4.4.4 - great :)
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Its probably you for the brightness.

You can reduce battery drain by keeping the processor on intelliactive.

Yes it hat a better framerate in dark enviroments
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Yes, it is working, some time the location sign showed up, some time is not.
[HTC Desire S] Raymond Huang:
A small advice:

Is it possible to have "low battery shutdown" function? There is a time I forgot to charge my phone while only 10%. Several hours later, I noticed that my device was in a loop of startup animation, black screan, animation, blackscrean, animation......
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Just reflash the boot anim. Not a big deal. It is unstable. Not ready for daily use

[HTC Desire S] slhysf:
how to root now ?
[HTC Desire S] dazbys:
Nice Job

Just flashed the latest build. Works quite well once it settles after boot. The only issues I've really had are resource constraints - there is a frenzy of low memory killing during boot, but if you leave it alone for a few minutes after lockscreen appears, all good. Don't know if it's possible to use the lollipop low memory device stuff to serialise the startup processes, rather than parallel/mass kill.

The killing meant the initial setup wizard was even being killed, making it hard to get through reliably.

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/low-ram.html

Can we try ro.config.low_ram=true in build.prop?

Great work.
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
Hi there.

Not sure what exactly your question is. Can you please be more specific?

Do you want to know how to root in general? Or do you "suddenly" have an issue with what used to work?
[HTC Desire S] vojtah1:
While using phone the system freezes and goes to booting (stuck on boot animation).
[HTC Desire S] horbatiuk88:
How long did you wait? I had the same issue after update 12th feb build ... just wait a little bit more! (about 15-20 minutes)
[HTC Desire S] vojtah1:
Whole night (8 hours or so). There is a time in a logcat.
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Hey...guys...i kinda know that this os a stupid question,but do i really need to reflash the boot img so i can get the new updates working?
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
I wonder why you are asking this... It only takes 5 sec?!

Anyway, to the best of my knowledge I believe you gotta do this. IIRC I forgot it once, and my Saga promptly didn't boot. After I reflashed the boot image it booted ok.
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Ok thanks. It takes less than five mins...and i like flashing new stuff...but my pc has been banned from me by my parents. They dont want me to screw up my grades for a "stupid development buissiness"
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
If you can get your device S-OFF then you don't have to worry about flashing boot.img separately.
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
Aaaaaand,i would need my pc for that too. Because i need to lower my radio and hboot. Never mind. Ill figure something out...anyway are there any new bugs that could kill a phone on the 12th of feb. Build, i heard that the low memory killer is going insane,so whats all that about?
[HTC Desire S] frantisek.sobota:
What about mms messages? I am not able to download one.

Anyone can confirm confirm working?
[HTC Desire S] party_boy-25:
Me too, data and wifi works well but can't send or receive mms
[HTC Desire S] NiXEGaming:
You should test calls. If it says call not sent,just get a replacement sim card at your net. Provider.it worked for me
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I dont remember last time when I sent a mms from custom ROM....

FM radio?

[MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION], [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION].

Something I always wanted to ask... What about FM radio? Is there plans to make that available on this fine ROM?

Best,

Ralf
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Hey,

I m still busy on real life, sorry guys and sorry Musta.

Devil you are welcome :)

Not translated things is NOT a bug, nor my or musta fault.

Stop reporting that!

These are nightlies, and they are unofficial, done on free time.

Do not expect a 100% working rom or something that is perfect.

No idea about the FM radio. I don t even have the phone so cannot help much
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
I don't know but I expect it to be very much broken on the kernel / HAL front so someone would have to have some clue how to fix that to even dream about FM. I don't think I'm up to that task.

No worries, AFK stuff comes first. :good:
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
No probs. I'm sure everyone here understands this. Thanks for all the time you have spent and can still spend on this project!

I think a lot of people do not understand exactly what happens "in the background" during development. This is why they report all things they consider worth improving here, even though neither you [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] nor [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] are personally "responsible" for it. I'm sure I did it myself already, not considering what I will explain to you now.

To my fellow users of this fine ROM:

There's some "upstream" source code (by the CyanogenMod guys) and even some "up-upstream" source code (by Google, namely the AOSP source) which [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] take and then "enhance", i. e. add or modify platform specific code. Therefore the vast majority of lines in the source code does not come from those two guys. So it doesn't make sense reporting issues in upstream code to them, as they for sure lack the time (and maybe even the means) to report it upstream or maybe even patch it and submit those patches upstream.​

Of course I understand that it may be often hard to say whether [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] are personally "responsible" something, so my honest personal opinion is: If in doubt report it here.

And I ask you guys, [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION], to be patient with us and not be annoyed. I think it is better to report an issue and at least have a theoretical chance of getting it fixed (because you reported it), than not report it at all and therefore greatly reduce the chance (because nobody might ever notice the issue).

If someone wants to report a bug in CyanogenMod, please use the CyanogenMod bug tracker. To report a bug in the generic Android code please use the Android bug tracker.

Don't worry. I think there is more important things to do. FM radio would be a "goodie" for me, no more...

Spirit1: Real FM Radio

Spirit1: Real FM Radio is a real, tuned, "over the air" FM radio app. It is NOT a streaming app and does NOT requires any internet data plans.

It works well on the CM 11 version.

Plz check, if it works on CM12. I have reverted back to CM11 for my daily use.

Issues in 20150216

The following things I have observed with 20150216, dirty-flashed over 20150128 IIRC ("(+)" means improvement, "(-)" means defect, "[Saga]" means it's probably specific to our Saga build, "[CM]" means it's probably an upstream CyanogenMod issue, "[AOSP]" means it's probably an up-upstream Android Open Source issue):

(-) [Saga] Front cam still not working (known issue)

(+) [Saga] Buttons: Brightness now no longer settable (as the HW doesn't seem to allow it?)

(+) [Saga] Buttons: backlight: "Don't turn off" -> finally works; previously would still turn off despite this setting

(-) [AOSP or Saga] Basic Daydreams still crashes

(-) [Saga] (Not a new issue, present since very first cm12 build) Receive SMS, display in notification area: 3 buttons reply/read/call not readable in portrait mode (text doesn't fit, has to be shortened with "ellipsis", see screenshot)

Can we do something about the unreadable SMS notification? Like decrease text size?
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
No, it doesn't (SpiritF 2015_01_23_beta), but thanks for suggesting this.

I checked with the developer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296&page=896#post58993711
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Yeah, I disabled the setting for both devices. I'm not sure if it's hardware related that we can't set the intensity of the LED or just some kind of kernel issue but it's only on/off at the moment. I don't think this is even an issue because at least on ace the LED is not particularly bright when it's on so I'd say this is enhancement if it even can be fixed from kernel.

This has something to do with adreno drivers. It has been there on ace since new adrenos and CM11.

Maybe, it would just require finding a correct layout file that we can override from device overlay. It has been quite difficult to find these though in the past as the amount of files is quite enormous and sometimes these layouts are put together from several separate layout files and it gets quite messy at this point. So maybe I should say it's probably doable but there's no quick fix without a deeper knowledge of the layout files behind that UI element.

Edit: This all assumes that the element is purely controlled by XML file. One can modify UI programmatically too and if parts of the element is set via code then there's no easy way to change the element.
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
Thanks for elaborating.

For me this has low priority, I think for now there's more important things to do... ;)

Call Recording? Volume Boost?

In the changelog for 2015-02-18 I found the following:

project packages/apps/Dialer/
d226720 Call recording service implementation and playback

project packages/apps/InCallUI/
bba9d00 Add an option in the InCall UI to perform call recording

However I can't find any UI element (in 2015-02-21) in the "InCall UI" to actually record the call.

Googling for it turned up the following:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-to-nightlies-but-it-isnt-enabled-by-default/

However this doesn't do the trick for me.

Has anyone got a clue why this is not working?

(I know that there are apps that supposedly allow to record calls, but I would prefer the feature to be built into CM, as the above patches promise...)

BTW, stumbled across a button in the in-call UI that says "Volume Boost: disabled" when I click it. I can't seem to be able to change it to "activated." Maybe this is still work-in-progress which doesn't yet work?

Everything works fine so far besides one nasty bug: Often it's not possible to receive a call. When I pick it up, I can hear the caller. But the calling person will only hear himself, like the own voice is recorded and played. Did anyone ever have this or got an idea what this could be related to?
