You used to be able to use an old version of YouTube app but not sure if that still works or not. Otherwise to that there are apps out there to change resolution for selected apps only instead of on a system wide basis. Can' t remember the name of one at the moment but just Google it (or Google fix for YouTube app resolution) you'll find it, pretty sure there's an xposed module for upscaling YouTube too.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
I think its called yourtube

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Unfortunately, yourtube doesn't work, even with older versions of YouTube...you can try the 720p upscaled YouTube app on xda, but Its a very old version of YouTube.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Use the screen shift app found here. Press the menu (3 dots) in the right top corner of the screen, allow supersu request and select per-app profiles, and set YouTube app to "Galaxy Nexus 720x1280", then back and turn on screen shift (top right switch). Works good for me( it only changes resolution when YouTube starts and set it back when you exit).

Cheers MiniBlu
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Is there a way I can keep 208 DPI. 240 looks a bit too big and frankly, to me, looks ugly. Screen shifter puts it to 240 DPi and when changing it back to 208 in the app, toggling screen shifter turns on, then Off again
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
So use a launcher that let's you set icon and grid size. Its not that hard.

The screen resolution of the SCREEN in this phone is only 480p (approx) so changing the res to higher than that just makes everything work harder to render it higher than the screen can display only to do more work to downscale it so it can display it. Big waist of resources that is not needed if you use a launcher that controls it all in native resolution.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
But system things, such as settings, quick settings, prompts, etc are too big. I use nova launcher but the system interface is big
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Just change font size to 85% in settings > display & lights. I really don't mind that as standard but I guess it will be a bit worse on at&t cr*p acreen.
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
Na, it was all right for me on at&t
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
the screenshot is it a launcher on ur 610 if name plz
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Nova. I use the prime paid version. Have for years because it gives better options for gestures. But free 1 is fine for most things.
[HTC Desire 610] Yuriksat:
I've noted one more bug - after I flashed CM I cannot pair my HTC with Jabra headset over Bluetooth. It says "Paired" but after a few seconds changes to "Not paired" and so on. I tried to delete the pair, find the headset again, make phone visible and back - no chance....
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I haven't had any problem with any of my Bluetooth devices but if you pm me with a logcat and dmesg I'll take a look an see if I can see why.
[HTC Desire 610] Yuriksat:
Thanks a lot but don't bother - I'm pretty sure you're fed up with more serius bugs :)

I guess it'll be OK in next Cm12 or 13 or whatever one you'll have patience to do :)

Take your time and looking forward to the next release ;)
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Just a quick question MiniBlu. On HTCDev, I can't find the US Desire 610 Kernel Source code. Can I use the one you linked in the op? I'm learning to build kernels and I want to try to build one with hopefully, OC support.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
They don't put at&t kernel up there, you have to request a copy by email but they don't make it easy. I put out a request here on XDA for people with at&t devices to try and get me a copy about a year ago as after a lot of emails back and forth with them wouldn't give me it because I couldn't prove my device was at&t (its not so the serial numbers don' match). You can use my source but its updated and configured for cm so it won' t boot with stock ROMs. I did try a mild over clock a while back it didn't seem worth it as it ran hot and throttled. But if you can get the over voltage settings right it might work? The config file for my kernel is cm_a3ul_defconfig. To build it just just put the arm_eabi_4.7 tool chain where I have it linked in root of sources and run the pre setup build script (build.sh). For a stock kernel you can use the us brightstar sources on HTC dev.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
I can build the kernel for cm11, just want your permission. Its not gonna be for stock. I have mostly everything set up, just gotta find time to actually start, which has to be one weekends. Dunno if it will work, because its my first time.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
progress update

Bit of bad news on the cm12.1 front. Turns out that the existing display driver for our phone isn't compatible with the updated lollipop kernel code. When first testing the kernel would build I fixed a few things but it turns out it's going to need a lot more than that to get it to work. Rewriting the driver is way beyond my limited c coding skills but after comparing our driver with some of the other supported display drivers in the kernel I found that the a5 (desire 816) driver is structured very similar to our screen. So, since it has been properly updated I think I might be able to patch it to use for our screen, but it's going to be a lot of work so it could take a while. At least everything else seems to be ok (even the camera drivers) so I suppose it could be worse. I just hope I don't fry my screen testing the driver change when it's done.:eek:
[HTC Desire 610] buyakk:
Hi MiniBlu, in search of better quality in photos, i came to the conclusion that Google Camera has best quality (in my opinion), but app is not relay match to screen ( black bars around whole camera screen) so i tried witch immersion mod and when its on, app fits perfecly to screen, but now i have problems witch soft keys when keyboard is on screen, no matter what type of keyboard i using (prefer google keyboard) whether immersion is on or off always soft keys are disappear, only black bar at the bottom of the screen remain, have you andy idea what may cause this bug?

Edit: after restoration to "my stock" without camera and immersion testing, nothing changed, still same bug

Edit2: running system in safe mode changes notging with keyboard, but trebuchet APP is force closing. Going for full wipe

Edit3: after 3rd wipe, i managed to find the cause, Floafify - Quick Replies was taking away soft keys, on older version is ok, i will try to contact Developer od this app and describe this bug.

My sisters considering upgrading to an xperia m4 aqua from s3. Any other suggestions? Mid-High end types?
[HTC Desire 610] p3tey.cRo:
Question about upgrade s3 to m4 aqua in desire 610 cm11 rom thread. Really?
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Wrong thread... Sorry. (Its in the subscribed so I accidently clicked on it lol
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
R

Hey majicstick5 How's your new kernel build going.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
I really don't know if it'll work. This is my real "first try". All resources are downloaded. Need to extract the NDK and then I can get started (maybe today or tomorrow")

My newer machine broke, so I'm stuck with a xp with a pentium processor on Ubuntu. It isn't the fastest, but its worth a try until I get a new one.

I'll be building on the slower machine though. I've been following a guide on xda so I'll try today+tomorrow and report back on weekdays. I'll try to add over clocking (maybe) and other features. Its probably gonna be a test but if it works, I'll release it on xda (it won't probably be your daily driver... Lol)
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
First try is today
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Kept on getting errors. With try again.

BTW MiniBlu, how's the screen drivers going?
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I re-wrote parts of the screen driver based on desire 816 and the kernel now builds fine but still getting kernel related errors when trying to build the whole rom. Not sure weather its something to do with the dts files or some change I missed in the kernel. Guess I'll keep looking.
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
Great

Rom Still working great. Nova launcher is awesome thank for that MiniBlu
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
How's gaming for you guys? Tried GTA LCS and it was smooth at max, but shadows lagged. Is it better on stock ROM. I think cm how bout u?
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
I only play Mortal X and works god for jus intial load takes forever
[HTC Desire 610] zappa41:
I have no data connection and I can't turn WiFi on after I flashed this.

Where can I find the stock RUU ?
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
If you want RUU, you have to lock bootloader and loss root(I think).

If you wanna keep root and unlocked bootloader, flash a stock rooted ROM. For att, JMZ deodex or odex ROM.

For European, there's a stock ROM floating around in the 610 forum.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Have you tried a dirty flash? I don't think any of us have that problem.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Sounds like you didn't follow the install instructions. That can happen if you still have stock data or cache hanging around. Unless you have a US at&t phone, there is no RUU.
[HTC Desire 610] zappa41:
I followed instructions. I've flashed plenty of roms. And yes I have the US att version.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Well your the 1st from over 1000 who have downloaded it to have this problem so I don't believe it the ROM. Did you wipe dalvic and cache after flashing it?(connection info left in cache is the usual cause). If you want help them send me a logcat, dmesg and last_kmsg and I'll take a look.
[HTC Desire 610] ivanm767:
pozdrav!ja sam juče instalirao ovaj rom i savršeno radi,svaka čast za rad,trud i vreme za pravljenje rom-a za korisnike htc desire 610..pozdrav iz srbije!

I'm glad it works well for you. Thankyou for your comment.

[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Any way to make speaker louder? It works, but just isn't as loud.

Also video seems to be grainy (a lot of noise). Any fix? Camera is fine.
[HTC Desire 610] porozex:
when in call the caller hear his own voice, any fix for this?
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
For music speakers seem just as load to me, although I did make adjustments in DSP manager to get it to sound the way I like(which does increase the volume a bit). You could increase the gain levels in /etc/mixer_paths.xml. I Think it was the dec volume levels for preamp gain. There are 4 of them set to 84 which is a percentage value so can be set as high as 100 but from memory anything over about 92 causes distortion. Only 2 of those DEC values are speakers the other 2 I think where headphones. Can't remember which were which. If you were actually talking about speaker phone volume, it does need more volume but I haven't found the fix yet.

I only have that problem when using speaker phone(I need to work out how to mute the opposite speaker and increase gain of the other one when in speaker phone mode to fix it). Normal phone mode has no echo for either person here.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Can't you just copy the stock ROM mixer paths onto cm11?
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I wish it was that easy. Stock doesn't have 1, it handles it a different way. But 84 is the gain value used by stock as far as I can tell but it then implements boom sound over the top which is effectively the same idea as using DSP manager settings to improve sound quality and volume.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Forgot to ask about your video comment. For me video play back is fine. Do you mean video recording is grainy? I don't really use it but if that's what you mean I can try a few different setting and see if it improves.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Yeah recording. I really don't use it much..just want to know.

TWRP version support

First of all, THANKYOU!!!

Second of all, when using TWRP version 2.8.x.x.x the install/ factory reset/ wipe would not work at all (however I am almost sure that this is because of my initial setup).

If anyone else is running 2.8.x.x.x and is having trouble just download the TWRP manager app from the play store, install it, and update to 3.0.0.0. This was a great and easy to do process for someone who is only recently getting into android development.

Also is there any known timeframe for the NFC update?

-Derek Wise
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:
Att and China don't have NFC 610s. It partially works on 610s that are NFC enabled.
[HTC Desire 610] derekiswise:
NFC-At&t software or hardware block?

On HTC's website it shows how to use NFC with At&t version of the phone. (I can't post link i'm new to forums, just search "att nfc htc desire 610" on google and it is the first result)

Also when I use NFC check, by tapkey it gives the message "NFC is built into your device but not activated."

Is it possible that physically the NFC is built into the phone, but in the stock ROM of htc's turns off the software access? If this is so could there be a workaround that would allow NFC to be enabled? because the NFC check app gives a link to "Activate NFC" and brings me to the Wireless and Networks settings. So what I am trying to say is that, would it be possible to modify the ROM to add the setting and then compile the ROM and prevent the software from presenting an error message while compiling? I am sorry, I am just trying to understand the exact problem as well as I can. Also does the NFC chip connect directly to the Snapdragon 400 or is the electrical communication between the two chips connected through the SIM card?

Thanks! -Derek Wise
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
The att version missing a few resistor and contact and the NFC antenna.
[HTC Desire 610] derekiswise:
OK Thankyou, I am going to look into what is required to add this(most of my experience is with physical hardware more so than software) once the physical components are added is there a possibility to add the setting manually / change the ROM setting?
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Not at the moment. I have left the driver for it in the kernel but have removed it from device configs when building the rom. With it enabled in the build it sort of works but is stuck on(can't be turned off) and is causing a wake lock and major battery drain. From what I can work out there is 1 library file I need that I haven't found yet and probably some incompatible nfc settings in the device tree that I copied from the one mini 2. It's definitely possible to fix it but at the moment I'm putting what ever time I can spare into getting lollipop booting so I'm not sure when it will happen.
[HTC Desire 610] magicstick5:

[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Spotify works fine for me and for [MENTION=3150876]wo88les[/MENTION] . I think you might want to do a full wipe and reinstall rom and gapps and don't restore spotify from a backup, install it clean from play store.
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
Bug; when I try to open Google play music, it does nothing but crash
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Works fine here. Did you do a full wipe before installing rom and gapps? Did you restore any apps or data from backups? If yes to either do a clean install and test without restoring anything. If not check if you had any apps or data on external_sd from previous installs and remove them if you did. Failing this, make it crash then open terminal emulator and type

su

logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt

and pm me with the logcat.txt file this creates attached to the pm and I'll have a look.

These sort of problems are usually caused by some old google data being left over somewhere.
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
I did have .mp3 files that I downloaded when i was on the stock ROM, would they be the cause? I did wipe and clean install and didn't restore any apps/data
[HTC Desire 610] wo88les:
Just a quick battery update moderate use and I got an ok result I think.
[HTC Desire 610] Gabriel172:
Anyway for me HTC's camera app is the best. What do you think Miniblu about put it to this rom? Ported app ofc like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHvlNG_GL3o
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Cool that looks alright

All my music is mp3 and plays fine in google play music. It was already on my external sd card but none of it was downloaded(DRM protected). You could try to go into Settings/Apps and select Google Play Music then press Wipe Data and Force Close then exit and try to restart google play music. If you send me a logcat (from instructions in previous post) it might shed some light on what is causing the crash.

Yes. I do like the htc camera but it didn't work for me. I tried to port the HTC camera to my wifes phone a year ago but couldn't get it to work then either. But if you or anyone else can get it to work I would like to give it a try.
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
Found that speaker phone is very low as low as handset. Speaker working to play mp3 anyone else having same issue. Can't say anything on battery currently my phone is on airplane mode most of the day. Evryting else working great. Gonna play around more and report
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Yes. I can confirm the same problem here. I know I had it working propperly at some point. I'll have to find and revert what ever audio change I made that broke it.

Thanks MiniBlu
[HTC Desire 610] Darrennchan8:
Hey, so after flashing the new update (happened only once on previous version and frequently with slimkat) I have been getting sporadic deaths, of some sort (while screen is off, I need to force-restart my phone because that it won't respond to any buttons and screen won't turn on. My Bluetooth headset also seems to disconnect.) Using at&t US version. It seems to mostly happen when there is an intense app (eg. A game) in the background, but also happens when I have something lightweight open, like g+ or xda premium.
[HTC Desire 610] DaGWaR:
Not major problem tho. No random restart as slim kat jus miss slim pi or the pi function

[HTC Desire 610] wo88les:
Hey miniblu, in last Rom I noticed updates weren't showing correctly, same thing is happening here. Aptoide doesn't seem to be able to detect device so it just doesn't seem to show updates, yet if I manually search I find updates, don't get me wrong, it could be aptoide as they recently updated to 7, I just found it weird that my wife's s3 mini using cm11 showed aptoide v7 yet I had to manually search on their site
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I have been running it for 53hrs straight with no reboots or freezes. Untill the rom reaches stable you will need to format the "system" patition before installing a new version because the cm installer checks for and keeps a lot of google apps and system data which will cause problems as I'm still makeing quite major changes between versions. To do this in TWRP go into WIPE > ADVANCED and tick the SYSTEM partition box then swipe to format it. After this finishes press BACK > BACK and then swipe to FACTORY RESET.(It would actually be better to press the FORMAT DATA button but this wiill wipe your internal sdcard as well so no one wants to do that but you have to when going to lollippop). You are then ready to install the rom and gapps. Don't retore anything from backups only install fresh from playstore. If you follow these steps it should work OK but if it doesn't then follow these steps to collect a bug report for me.

open Terminal emulator app and type

su

logcat -v time > /sdcard/logcat.txt

press the + button in top centre to open another shell window and in it type

su

cat /proc/kmsg >/sdcard/kmsg.txt

then press HOME button to return to using your phone while leaving these commands logging to files. Do not close the terminal emulator. Now make the phone crash,freeze,reboot. After you have rebooted, PM me with a detailed description of what you had been doing when/before the problem occured and attach the 2 files logcat.txt and kmsg.txt that are on you internal sdcard. And I'll look into what is causing you the problem.
[HTC Desire 610] Darrennchan8:
I can't induce the freezing; it just happens on its own, but I'll try.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Those commands will just keep loging untill it happens and only stop when it either fully crashes or you reboot. Have you done the formatting yet, as there is no point doing this if it's not on a clean system?
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
Well I don't know what it was about, but it works now, no crashing thankfully
[HTC Desire 610] andrim3:
Thanks miniblu...this great ROMs...with ART runtime this very responsif. Wait for fixing camera and NFC .....
[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
It runs faster with ART runtime? On the Stock ROM ART was always slower for me
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Suprizingly yse it seems to be. I did test it on 1 of my 1st builds but it seemed a bit flakey and I had been forgetting to retest it with this build untill andrim3s post reminded me. I have 130 apps installed and it took about 15 minutes on first boot while optimizing apps and the about 10 minutes to settle down once booted but then it felt good. 1 example of it being better is with "open camera" on dalvic everything works (with green tint on all pictures/videos) but video recording was a bit jumpy and unreliable, but on art except for the green tint to everything video recording is smooth and faultless.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Kernel builds fine by itself but building the rom against it gives a kernel related Bluetooth error. Its getting closer. I think I might try to just build the rom with a3ul configs against the memul kernel source (I know that builds without errors) then just drop my pre-compiled kernel into it at the end. It should work although will probably have broken Bluetooth (and maybe other things). I want to fix it all properly but at the moment I'm so frustrated with it that I would really like to see it at least boot just to give me motivation/hope.

[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I guess I can. But there is a working cm boot.IMG in my sources. Under output/working/stockboot.IMG. In the root of my kernel there is a build helper script called build.sh. If you use it to build your kernel by running " . build.sh" with out the quotes from the root of the kernel source it will set up your environment,make clean, build the kernel and pack it into a flashable zip. Once done the flashable zip will be in output/zip/kernel_name_and_date.zip.
