For people interested in microG, my observation:

I didn't get Play Store to work. Blank Store failed for me, although I did not try hard. It may have something to do with the fact that I don't have a SIM card in my Desire S right now, and that I left corresponding fields in Blank Store's settings empty. Anyway, I switched to Aptoide a while ago, and now added F-Droid on top of it. These two have everything I need.

Device seems to run considerably faster with microG.

Evidently GsfProxy from microG works. Device wakes up on incoming Gsf events (Skype calls, etc.).

Google account is not functional: no sync, login with Google+ accout to apps fails.

For some reasons 2016-05-17 and 2016-05-18 nightlies failed to work with either Gapps or microG, with its own showstopper in each case. Nightly from 2016-05-19 works fine with microG. I did not try Gapps, and probably won't in future.

Admittedly I haven't updated for a week (20160513) and I just didn't get around to reporting this till now. Bluetooth has been broken again for a while, well before that update, and possibly as far back as 20160407 when another user in here reported what seems to be the same issue. I reported that it was working fine just a couple of weeks earlier in 20160322! Here is the logcat. I haven't fully wiped but I did wipe any Bluetooth-related stuff and everything else has been fine.
[HTC Desire S] joolli:
I think I have found the reason why wifi is so bad for us. Either the phone wifi does not like 40MHz bandwidth or the driver in the rom is bad. Atleast... After havin' put my wifi to 20MHz only, the connection is stable and good.
[HTC Desire S] ChristianFerrer:
Great! I'd give it a try later. Thanks mate.

keyboard problem

Hello,

I have just tried fresh install of 31.05.2016 and also 26.05.2016.

Install ok, boot ok, (keyboard problem in setup wizard, but skipped everything, then reboot), but than always - android AOSP keyboard stopped working. So no keyboard for me here :(

Language set to US English.

Logcat is from messages app when trying to write something in new message

Somebody else with this kind of bug? Is it bug?

Or just me doing something wrong with installation?

Thank you
[HTC Desire S] joolli:
It's a known problem. Search this thread for keyboard fc
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Remove the system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so file as per previous post:
[HTC Desire S] prejudiced:
Bluetooth does not work for me as well (20160602). I've never seen it work on this version.
[HTC Desire S] JerseyChewi:
Yeah, it was quite a brief period where it did work but I don't think this is the same issue that was there initially.
[HTC Desire S] svetlonos:
build 20160618

succesfully installed 20160618 build after deleting libjni_latinimegoogle.so ... win10 doesn't see it on usb in mtp mode, adb reports device offline in debug mode, otherwise working smoothly
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Second day without a nightly build :eek: Is it all ok :confused: Did something broke the build :confused:

I'm on 20160606, and from times to times the bottom of the screen flickers (like where the keyboard would show) :( Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
[HTC Desire S] prejudiced:
I haven't seen it NOT FLICKER. It happens when I hit the power button to turn the phone off. Or when it turns of on inactivity.

This does not happen all the time but it was in all of the 5-6 builds I've installed this year.

Hello guys, i flash twrp recovery sagaopt 2.8.7.1 img but the recovery cant indentify the zip for cm13 -20160702.i also try to change my sd card to ext4 but cant find were it is. Am new to this opt version. Any help.
[HTC Desire S] jc1993:
I am running the 2nd July 2016 nightly CM13 + Open Gapps 6.0 Pico 3rd July 2016

First thing, the AOSP keyboard did not work, but I sideloaded Google keyboard, so no issues for me there.

For me, performance is better than 12.1. Google play loads quicker. Need to load some apps and see if the good performance is consistent.

Thanks for keeping the Desire S alive!
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
so performance is a charm in the 07-02 update but i cant start it cuz it hans on an app to optimize :/
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
You need to install "sagaopt" variant of the ROM, not the legacy "saga" variant.

Google is free today, so here you are... ;)

cant really update to 0708 since its returning me an invalid MD5 checksum
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Can you make a log?

Noone else reported these bugs unless they are new
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I always make clean installation to CM-13 sagaopt nightly builds including clean installation of Gapps. I have no problem on installation 20160708 builds. However, for installation of Open Gapps (20160708), Delta Gapps (20160708), and Cyanogen Apps (20160707) in addition to wipe data partition, I have to wipe cache and dalvik cache otherwise the gapp will not be installed. Thanks Mustavalkosta and Kylon for your kind contribution.

so i started updating to 20160708 24 hours and 23 minutes ago and im still stuck on optimizing apps yesterday it was app 1 of 24 now its app 1 of 6 :/ how to keep up with updates this way
[HTC Desire S] kylon:

No need to delete setup wizard on cm-13,0-20160710 but Bluetooth is till a problem also WiFi signal keep on dropping from time to time. Thanks for the new update.
[HTC Desire S] joolli:
Try disabling HT40 (40MHz) band on your router, to work around WiFi issue.
[HTC Desire S] mumuni:
Sorry to disturbed u, how would i be able to disable.
[HTC Desire S] mumuni:
Facebook can't be install, I dont no if u guys notived that
[HTC Desire S] ralfbergs:
This is a more or less known issue... Facebook is huge, and the saga doesn't have enough memory to optimise the APK... (odex...)
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
logs really i cant logcat on my device cuz mine isnt saving them annywhere
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
There are some apps that can take a log in background and save it. (Don t remember the names)

Update of cm-13.0-20160211 make the phone slower
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
There is no proper way for me to install GAPPS....It simply wont do it on this ROM for Desire S...But, the ROM installs fine and when I install Google Play.apk, it wont start the damn thing and I've tried all versions of that APK. Almost all 6.0 versions..................CRAP, anyone has an idea why GooGLe Play APK wont work with this damn ROM?
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
but how am i suposed to log bugs that arent existing annymore since there fixed :/
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Should work...

I'm on build 20160606, so I don't know if there are any issues on newer builds. I just download from opengapps. Select Platform: ARM, Android: 6.0, Variant: mini (can be anything, but aroma, I think). Then download the zip file... Put the zip file in the phone, reboot to recovery and install zip from there.
[HTC Desire S] joolli:
I can't give you specific instructions beause of all the different branches. You'll just have to log in to your router or WiFi Access point and look for 40MHz or HT40 and disable it.
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Ok, but do you have Desire S?

What happens when I install the appropriate Gapps package for Cyanogen ROM's 12.1 and 13, the phone takes loads of time to "optimize apps" before the boot up and then the keyboard stops functioning and the phone slows down considerably, becomes laggy....

So, I was trying to install GooglePlay without Gapps, but it won't happen....

Dammit lol.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
I do, you can even see it in this post :p

CM 12.1 is Android 5.1, and CM 13 is Android 6, they're different gapps :rolleyes: Be sure to install the correct one...

That's normal, it's an old and "slow" phone... Still, great for its age :D

Have you removed the system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so file as per previous post:
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
so about that file there wasnt anny in the update yet everytime after updating the asop keyboard keeps on giving a FC for me
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Yes brother, I install appropriate GAPPS, 5.1 for 12.1 ROM and 6.whatever for 13 CyN ROM...And then I start getting messages how not only the keyboard stops working but also almost every google app installed too.

I know it's an old phone but I'd really like to use it in my car as an MP3 player and use MAPS.ME with it....

I will remove that folder for the keyboard fix, but then the rest of the erors will stay and the phone will be so slow?

I blame Google for this lol....should I just chuck out a perfectly functioning mobile, which is without a scratch, just because they wont update the stupid software....
[HTC Desire S] paradice55:
Its been months now and i was wondering when will there be a stable release? The phone is still not smooth enough for daily use tho
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
I use it daily and I think it's quite ok... I don't think it will be ever "smooth enough" :rolleyes:, it really depends on your expectations... New android releases are done for newer phones, even the lowest end mobile nowadays has multi-core cpu, and our good old desire only has 1 core. It's a nice CPU, working quite alright given its age, but there's no magic :(

If HTC would work on the kernel and drivers to support android 6.0, I'm sure we could squeeze a little bit extra performance, but that is never going to happen :crying: You can always try CM11 or the latest official rom for older android releases but smoother....
[HTC Desire S] mumuni:
Bluetooth is stills a problem . any solution for it
[HTC Desire S] wizzardsk:
Hi, there.

I tried to install latest nightly of CM13 on this phone. Unfortunatelly, AOSP keyboard has stopped. Any workaround for this? I used Open Gapps Nano.

Then I tried to install CM 12.1 with the same gapps. But, the phone does not boot, it is stuck at the boot animation.

In TWRP, I am not able to format data, it cannot be mounted. I had that problem after installing CM13 too, but I don't know how, it worked once and I was able to format it. Now, there is no way to format it. What is wrong with this Phone?
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Have you removed the system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so file as per previous post:

CM12.1 uses opengapps 5.1 and CM13 uses 6.0...

Have you follow the instructions in this post? You can try and use gparted to format your sdcard to ext4 in a PC...
[HTC Desire S] wizzardsk:
Well, I flashed correct TWRP in fastboot.

Then I installed CM13 using sideload and then also gapps. It was not possible to format data all the time, just once I succeeded.

I dont't really understand what this means: "Convert your sdcard to either EXT4 or F2FS"

It is talking about interal (emulated SD card) or external physical sd card? I guess I have all my internal partitions in ext4 or f2fs.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
It's talking about the external physical sd card. With the opt version, that will be seen by CyanogenMod as the internal storage...
[HTC Desire S] wizzardsk:
Oh, I think I am starting to understand all those problems I had :)

This is why I was not able to mount /data because I did not have SD card inserted.

Also, I wondered why I cannot mount external SD in TWRP and only saw 16 GB of internal storage.

So, it is not possible to run this ROM without external SD card?
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Exactly :good: For CM12.1 there is "regular" and opt version, but for CM13 there is only opt version. You only have to convert once, then, no more available space issues :)
[HTC Desire S] wizzardsk:
Thanks :) so I think, this new knowledge for me will solve most of the issues with this ROM :)

3.10 kernel

I have updated code sources to 3.10 for desire hd that used same codebase as saga. As i dont have saga, i am not sure that this codebase bootable at all.

I tried to check build saga_defconf time to time, so it buildable but can be not bootable.

I created minimal "devicetree" description of spade/ace(desire hd) and used device tree logic path for boot.

Last "stable" version in v3.10-msm7x30 branch.

If someone can check this codebase on saga and propose updates i glad to help.

P.S. version with other kernel version are cm-12.1-3.<version> tags.

If you want to recreate saga device tree file look to commits near 8c34fe1d156dff82360065c620cd4d16af2e0cce...2a337ece9010569a15ae5a159e09a2520e553a5a
[HTC Desire S] kchaisu:
I have a problem on setting up the latest build (20160723). At first the numeric keyboard was unusable and later on the next key did not function it got stuck on language setup. However, these problem was initiated on the 20160722 but could be managed by several attempts to reinstall, and become realistic on the latest build.

Is it possible to use ota update? After downloading the update the md5 check fails...
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
ok why does the cpu have 1 core all of a sudden when it had 2 in the CM12.1 build ?
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
kylon and Mustaavalkosta are probably the best guys to look into that... I can try to flash some boot.img files, if it helps :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Where do you see the number of cores? I always thought our phone had 1 core... GSMArena says we have a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2. Looking into it on google, and cpu boss says Single core, 1 thread...
[HTC Desire S] richardz123:
well i saw it in a cpu overclocker and cpu-z on cm12.1 and i was suprised by it that i ony saw 1 core in this build

test images

So i have two images for test:)

* boot-saga-3.10.img - boot image with 3.10 kernel - i think it can't boot, but you can try by commands like:

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

adb reboot bootloader && sleep 20 && fastboot boot boot-saga-3.10.img

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

* boot-saga-3.0-atags.img - must boot, it contains only one change - export atags to proc fs, i need this file to generate minimal 'device tree' file. Try to run by commands like:

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

adb reboot bootloader && sleep 20 && fastboot boot boot-saga-3.0-atags.img && adb wait-for-device && adb shell cat /proc/atags > saga.atags

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

P.S. As i don't have saga, i dont sure that this boot images will boot device at all. So please don't flash this boot images to device, only use 'fastboot boot <boot.img>'. Files generated from cm-13.0-20160727-sagaopt.zip

*Also no guaranties about make brick from your device.*
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
:good: Great. I'll give them a try this evening and let you know how it goes...
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Tried this one first as you said it would boot... Indeed it worked :) You can find attached the saga.atags
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
This one doesn't boot the device at all :( It gets stuck in the HTC logo...
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
Big thanks :)

I will create image with devicetree and attach such image tomorrow.
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
Images for tests:

* boot-3.1-86154cd.dt.img - version with 3.1 merge, can have issues with screen;

* boot-3.4-8234fd0.dt.img - version with fixes for screen;

* boot-3.10-a066abf.dt.img - last stable with 3.10 kernel release.

Device tree file for saga.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Thanks for your work, but unfortunately I don't have that much good news :(

Red screen, phone reboots to recovery

Gets stuck in HTC logo, tried adb logcat but keeps waiting for device

Also gets stuck in HTC logo, tried adb logcat but keeps waiting for device

For all of them, I've done adb reboot bootloader && sleep 20 && fastboot boot XXXXXX.img Is there any other test I could do :confused:

Regarding the dts file, I have no idea :eek: although I find a bit strange the amount of just 0s for linux,wifi and linux,msm_partitions and linux,ps_type and linux,pcbid...
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
pity :(

So lets try last chance:

* saga-atags.d932877.log.img - standard kernel without any changes, but with replaced ramdisk - it must show boot logs on screen. Only for check that such change does not broke boot.

* saga-dt.ed93602.classic.img - kernel with dt support- based on first commit where desire hd booted with dt without any hacks.

* saga-dt.ed93602.log.img - same kernel but with changed ramdisk.

If it doesn't help - we need someone with saga and many time to recheck each commit between my "repo" and OpenDesire for found where bad commit that block boot on saga.

No, other way as i know.....

Values in devicetree must be rewritten in boot time. - i use it for rewrite serial numbers and wifi calibration that is specific to device. So zero's in dt must be fully fine, but for be sure i use your values.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Yes :good: It showed a few log messages, then booted up normally

Seems to fail screen initialization trying to boot, then fails booting and reboots to recovery. You can see it in youtube

Seems to try to boot, doesn't do the same screen thing, but then it reboots to recovery :( You can see it in the same video starting at second 34.

I've never setup the build for this, so I'm not sure I could be much help :confused: Are there many commits? Maybe looking into them you can have some idea what could have been ;) :fingers-crossed: If you want to keep posting boot.img files, I don't mind testing them.

[/QUOTE]

I have no idea how it works, was just wondering... :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
Could you please try for now boot with: saga-atags.3ffd0f7.log.img

This Image use atag settings for now, if it can boot - i try to create image with minimal device tree, and we check how it works.:)

As I said, my phone "died" :crying: It won't boot fully, but it does start and responds to adb. So, I was able to boot the image file. It shows some log messages and then starts booting... It keeps showing the cyanogenmod face with moving antenas, but that's what was happening "normally" so, I would say it booted ok...
[HTC Desire S] nijawang:
I just dirty flash cm-13.0-20160808-UNOFFICIAL-aceopt.zip and open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160806.zip, and my ace works fine.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
I did not want to mean that that particular build was broken. I was on an older build when it "died". Then, tried to dirty flash the latest and it did not help :crying: Will have to try with more time, try to recover the most from the sd card and start from scratch, formatting it and clean install...

Attached several new images for test......

Description about changes:

-----

38e57c4 dt scan memmory

99675ef dt scan root

603003f dt choosen

18166a6 dt model

cbf3bb4 try fake device tree on saga

-----

Try to run by *fastboot boot <img> && adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt*.

I need start messages from kernel logs.
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
Tried just one, not much time... dmesg output stuff then exits, started again a couple of times, did some copy paste... Don't know what info is needed... You can find log attached, let me know if it helps.
[HTC Desire S] nijawang:
Hi Mustaavalkosta,

It's ok. Still have way to find the difference between nightlies.

Just fit it when you are available.

Anyway, thank you very much for your great contributions for our devices.
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
Big thanks, from dmesg, i need part started from "boot start" up to "/system/init" start (something like to 'init: init second stage started!'). In this part - must be dumped information about real settings.

If you have time- try it: saga-atags.7b8de21.log.img
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
It shows logs messages, then boots :good:

I can't connect with adb immediately after fastboot, I get:

error: device '(null)' not found

I keep trying until eventually it works... you can find the file attached.

Do you want me to try the images in your older post?
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
It seems to be working again. For some reason revisions directory had ".txt" file (yes, only the file extension) in it that messed up everything. No idea why the filename had been empty at some point and single occurance so far so it's nothing that is easily reproduced.
[HTC Desire S] nijawang:
Thanks Mustaavalkosta!! :good:

The 0817 changelog back to normal.
[HTC Desire S] 0lvin:
Excellent, Thank you:)

Successful boot is enough.

I have rebased changes from old images to last boot image, please check it when you have time.

Git logs for this images:

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

e136fab7 dt scan memmory

5572475 dt scan root

38f4b6f dt choosen

7b8de21 update arch/arm/mach-msm/devices_htc.c from cm-12.1-3.6

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

Also you can try to create new image by yourself: 'sh create_saga.sh saga-atags.38f4b6f.log.img'. Script will produce new image with name saga-atags.38f4b6f.log.img.new.img
[HTC Desire S] i23098:
I won't have stable internet access for a couple of weeks, but manage to download the images. They start booting, show some log messages, then stop for a while and reboot to recovery without showing the blue face :(

I'll might give it a try in a couple of weeks...
