For me, CM-12.1 has solved google account setting; battery life has been improved. However, browser is still crashed, so I changed webview and browser to google webview and chrome beta. Also apparently tabuche launcher randomly shows stop sign, I changed to google now launcher as well. The replacement was made at the beginning by flashing tk gapps of which has the function apps removal and inclusive. So I could modify my apps at the beginning since some apps like google now launcher has to be installed at the beginning of the setting process though. So far I use CM-12.1 for my daily phone. Thanks Mustaavalkosta for your great contribution.

f2fs kernel test

changes: here

anykernel installer by mustaavalkosta
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Hi Kylon, how is it applied? Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
AnyKernel hasn't been working on ace for some reason for the past two iterations of CM. It doesn't boot after flashing AnyKernel zip IIRC. I've had to use boot.img's to test kernels which is less than ideal since there's a lot more than just kernel inside it. :(
[HTC Desire S] n0f3a6:
Thank u for the info.. :)

It helpd me alot

BTW which is the best kernel for this rom, what about android_kernel_htc_msm7x30 and f2fs kernel test? Which should I use..

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
can someone try this

@n0f3a6

the stock one, unless you are using f2fs and want to test the kernel.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Just flash it, right.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Or change system from 4ext to f2fs first and then flash the kernel. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

OK, I just flashed it over and it is working fine. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
To test f2fs you need to convert your partitions to f2fs

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 CAF utilizzando Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] n0f3a6:
I already flashd f2fs kernel on 4ext, working fine..

What is the benefit of f2fs partition?
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

You must convert your partitions to f2fs. If all your partitions are ext4, f2fs is not used, this means that your phone will boot fine even if f2fs is broken.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Thanks, I changed system partition to f2fs and then flashed. It did not reboot. It showed no rooted, so I installed SuperSU and it was the same did not boot up. Just black screen.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
System? Do you mean data and cache?

If no, it does not boot because system does not support f2fs yet
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
My device normally uses f2fs for data and cache partitions. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Can you take a log?
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I am sorry. I already factory wiped and restored a backup. By the way, how to get the log in case it did not boot. Thanks. I shall have another test later.
[HTC Desire S] n0f3a6:
I'm using latest rom with base gapps with stock kernel, it's rebooting without any reason, any idea..?
[HTC Desire S] kleest:
I would like to, but...

could you please tell me how I should change the system partition to f2fs using twrp?

wip -> advanced -> repair/change fs: formats the partition (wiped)

backup data -> reformatting as f2fs -> restore: formats the partition back to ext4 on restore

I don't see any way circumventing these limitations.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
You can t restore an ext4 partition

The only solution is

Backup, full wipe, ext4->f2fs, install rom.
[HTC Desire S] kleest:
Tried that too, but the problem is, flashing the rom zip results in formatting the partition again as ext4, forgot to mention that.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
You can convert data and cache

System will always be ext4
[HTC Desire S] kleest:
Well ok, then I misunderstood you.

The original kernel (20150718) supports f2fs on data and cache.

Your posted kernel does, too. Booted up, and didn't have problems.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I also conversed android secure to f2fs as well. It is working fine on the test kernel. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] n0f3a6:
F2fs working fine, seems to be ok for me.. thank you :)
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I am sorry for the wrong report. Android Secure and Dalvik Cache partitions could not be converted to F2Fs; Data, Cache, System and Sd-Ext partitions could be converted to F2Fs. But as Kylon mentioned, System could use only Ext4, so only Data, Cache and SD-ext could be converted to F2Fs. So I converted Data, Cache and SD-Ext to F2Fs for installing CM-12.1 nightly. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Converting SD-Ext to F2Fs has caused mounting problem on the system on flashing. So only Data and Cache partitions could be converted to F2Fs. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Px80:
Do I need special rom or kernel to use f2fs?

I want to try it first with my old desire before I use it on my n5.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
F2fs is already enabled.

Just convert to f2fs and install the rom
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
How stable is the rom? Any crashes? Or major bugs?
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Apart from the reboots :p

I'm using cm-12.1-20150718 at the moment, and I think it's a bit unstable lately (will update tomorrow, will see if improves). Now I use the phone a bit more, so I don't know when it was introduced, but it seems to have a bit more reboots now when it has too much work to do...

Logcat of my mobile restarting after launching Minion Rush and stalled... http://logcat.scheffsblend.com/view?id=4849001

It restarts with other apps, like Facebook, Chrome, etc... Whenever the mobile does "too much work" it stalls, doesn't respond to touch and after a while, it restarts :(
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
So you meant to say that the earlier versions were more stable?
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
I think that the version I'm on now (20150718), suffers from restarts that builds a week before and older didn't.

But they would suffer from different issues... overall, I think the rom is improving. Hopefully someone can look into the current issues :fingers-crossed:

Another issue I have (not introduced, older builds also have it), is in facebook, when I open a link, it opens it's internal browser, renders the page and then it stalls and I get an ANR... I installed Google WebView to see if it would help, but it didn't :(

hello after a long time i'm back to desire s. sadly my htc one 2013 died. right now my desire s running stock sense rom.

so can any one tell me if the latest cm12.1 build is stable enough to make calls n also apps like whats app and fb????

thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
yes
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
yes, although answering calls can be stressful at times :p It can take more than 5 seconds or so for the phone application to be loaded and the phone to be responsive...

Don't know abou whatsapp but facebook loads ok (albeit a bit not responsive at times). The only "major" issue I have with it is opening links in the app. It loads the internal browser and a few seconds latter it stalls and you get a ANR. Closing it makes the facebook app restart.
[HTC Desire S] Aizotech:
Works good enough for daily use. Use facebook lite for more memory. As mentioned it's irresponsive when receiving calls. Don't know about what's app.

Camera app crashes when trying to go to settings. I'm on 20150726. Logcat at http://logcat.scheffsblend.com/view?id=4119001

Edit: It was actually on the Goggle Camera app installed from the google store. Using the camera app that comes with the rom, it works... But I would rather use the most recent version, so, if someone can fix it, it would be great :)
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
The one that comes with the ROM is the most recent version. This is more matter of open source vs. Google's closed source products. The camera app that comes with the ROM is AOSP version with CM/CAF patches and the one you can install from Play Store is Google's proprietary software. Both are the "newest" version though.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
That's good to know :)

Still, I was wondering it's a bug in the ROM (something missing) or is it a bug in Google's proprietary code :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Dunno, looks like NPE in Google's app. I can't really say whether it's a ROM or app issue. Our camera stuff is quite ancient already though so I wouldn't wonder if they are not too keen on supporting ancient camera interfaces.
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
btw, some of 'bad behaviour' i've seen so far:

incomming messages very often (like whatsapp) don't activate the notification-led (or the notification-mechanism or a wake-up-call to check recieved notifications)

they just shown up in the tasklist a few secs after activating the screen again

(real example: not touching the phone for 3 days - nothing blinks - want to recharge it, activate the display - X messages incoming, some of them written 3 days ago)

playstore loads (not starts) very very slowly - circlin' like mad

Quick question(s) [MENTION=3334728]kylon[/MENTION] [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] is FM Radio enabled?

Is it possible to add an option so that the phone remembers that S2W is enabled? (I have to reenable it after every reboot)

Is that known that I can't hear a so does a person I'm calling if I have my sounds off?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Kernel is probably not ready for that. Spirit FM apparently works though.

I already fixed this for ace's touchscreen drivers but saga has its own implementation for some reason (issues with the atmel driver used in ace perhaps). I can take a look if the same fix applies to saga's atmel driver.

[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
i used this method to get it working

To Disable or Enable the On-Screen / Virtual Software Keys:

Download ES Explorer

In ES Explorer settings -> Root settings, tick ‘Root Explorer’, ‘Up to Root’ and ‘Mount File System’

Exit settings and tap ‘Up’ in the top row of icons. This will bring you to the root of your file system.

Navigate to ‘System’

Scroll down until you see ‘build.prop’. Tap it and then tap ‘Open with ES Note Editor’

Scroll down until you see ‘qemu.hw.mainkeys=’ or ‘ro.show.navigationbar=”

If you see ‘qemu.hw.mainkeys=’, set to 0 (zero) to enable the onscreen / virtual softkeys. Set it to 1 (one) to disable them

If you see ‘ro.show.navigationbar=’, set to yes to enable or no to disable (thanks to user iakinthos for this)

Tap settings and save

Bam you are done. Reset, or

To disable the hardware/capacitance keys:

In ES Explorer, navigate to System -> usr -> keylayout

Find ‘generic.kl’ and tap it. Choose ‘Open file as text’ and select ‘ES Note Editor’

Scroll until you see ‘key 139 menu’ and add ‘#’ in front so you now have ‘#key 139 menu’

Now find ‘key 158 back’ and add ‘#’ in front of it as well.

Hit ‘settings’ and ‘save’

Bam, you are done. Reset.

Thanks Mustaavalkosta and Kylon for CM-12.1-20150830 with new bootanimation. So far, the nightly is working great in term of smoothness and responsive.

[HTC Desire S] TheEduMan:
Hey kylon! Sorry for the late reply, I hae been off the Desire S for a while now and I'm back!

So I pulled a log and I used snapchat when I was making the log, wich I made with alogcat. I am using the build from the 31st of August!

So the problems I have are the Snapchat problem and the Google Play problem.

The snapchat problem is that snapchat is very slow and when I quit snapchat the system becomes slow aswell, and the other problem is, whenever I am downloading or updating and app, when the screen is off the apps won't update, wich means that I have to be with my phone next to me and always with screen on for the apps to update or install!

Those are the problems I have and I hope that the log gives you any hint on how to solve the slow snapchat problem! :)

Thanks for all your help kylon!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i m still a noob with logs, anyway i don t see anything

snapchat could be too heavy for this old phone, anyway i ll try to add some changes to the kernel and hope they will help a bit

about google play, i had the same problem when the "wifi on screen off" was disabled, i don t remember the name of this setting.
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Alogcat is quite outdated and due to some system level changes in Android Jellybean it doesn't show anything but its own log prints more or less. Catlog may do a bit more but adb logcat is always the best option around.

Hi Kylon and Mustaavalkosta,

If I understood correctly, CM12.1-20150904 nightly should be the first build using Archi optimization. It is working fine. However, browser still crashing, but I do not know about webview because I flashed GoogleWebView at the beginning. Thank you very much for your contribution to the community.
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Yeah, no idea what to do about WebView (which is ultimately what's crashing browser too since everything using WebView in a way or another is suffering from the same crashes). I took a break from bashing my head against the wall with it and tested JustArchi's work and now I've rather hacky solution for storage space issues on my workbench. Good to know JustArchi's changes didn't break anything major on saga either.

sagaopt

There should be first sagaopt build available later today if everything compiles ok. If you don't know what I'm talking about read these two posts that I wrote for aceopt. It's basicly the same thing for sagaopt.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62695682&postcount=519

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62758453&postcount=531

You can follow the same instructions for saga but of course download ROM and recovery for sagaopt instead of aceopt. [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] was kind enough to make it for you. You can download it from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/jrior001/TWRP-recovery-sagaopt-2.8.7.0.img

Neither of these (ROM nor recovery) has been tested because neither of us has saga so keep in mind you are a kind of alpha tester if you are the first one to test these. Same setup has been tested and is working fine on ace though.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
If there's an option to turn it off or on, then I'd say there's no harm. But from what I understood, it's a build option, so it will always be enabled... You can always build yourself ;) :p I never build it myself, but if you have any problems, I'm sure someone can help you...
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
Thanks Mustaavalkosta and jrior001 for your kind contribution to Saga community in extending to sagaopt. As I mentioned on previous post, I shall commit myself to test sagaopt nightlies, however, I have 32GB sdcard, I am wondering how to prepare sdcard to install sagaopt in order to use TWRP for sagaopt. I might use my old 8GB sdcard for testing. Thank you very much for your kind contribution.
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
If you follow the step-by-step guide in the ace thread you will end up having sagaopt recovery and ROM. It's just your sdcard will be emptied in the process so backup everything you need beforehand. In case it all goes bad and you are unable to use sagaopt right now reverting back should be easy enough by just flashing saga recovery and converting your sdcard back to FAT or leave it as is but reformat it. CM should support all kinds of filesystems on sdcards these days. I used separate sdcard for initial tests though not to waste time with backing up and such.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
