Fantastic... you are the man!

Testing latest TEST rom + coutts kernel @825 and all works perfect...

The smoothest rom I tried.no wipe.just installed over previous test.

Will give further feedback within next 24 hours.

Thx
[Desire Android Development] BallBrain:
Working fine with other kernel
[Desire Android Development] kilohercas:
have some problems:

First can't find SIM contacts

Second can't install HTC IME keyboard

Also is it possible to get HTC desire clock widget and Browser ? Browser in desire is much better than here (text re-flow, Desktop type ( here just mobile) browsing, overall performance)

Try to install using adb, but that wasn't successful :mad:

every thing else is perfect :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Hmm, updates are the same between the two kernel sources. Strange, I'll look into it.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
I've backed out the last bunch of changes, strange, other kernel seems to work fine

*EDIT* I've compiled and it does work fine now
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Had an issue with the latest test build where it was using mobile bandwidth at the same time it was connected to wifi. I then disabled the mobile connection but could not re-enable it even with wifi off so have gone back to the previous version backup for now.
[Desire Android Development] zaks007:
HI im new to this rom is there a way to flash data2whatever(Data2ext Script) in this Rom or is it just Apps2SD...Wat Launchers does it comes with???Sorry too many Questions :confused:
[Desire Android Development] python08:
@zaks007

data2whatever has not been tested on the ROM.

It comes with the stock android launcher.

:)
[Desire Android Development] MrTimms:
Hello

I just chaged over to this ROM, and being without Sense is not as painful as I thought it would be. Thanks for your work.

One "feature" of sense builds that doesn't seem to be in any AOSP build I have looked at is the ability to Lock the screen, but not require a pass/pin code for a set amount of time. I have a corporate exchange account that enforces the use of a pin, so I have no choice. With the Sense implementation I can lock the screen and not need to input the pin for up to 15 minutes when unlocking. This is very handy when you have just locked the phone, then remember you forgot to do something, so you can just unlock, without the need to punch in the PIN again.

Is that difficult to implement?

Thanks again, I am really enjoying your work.

[Desire Android Development] suiller:
during these days I'm bouncing trough 3 roms: oxygen RC7, Redux RC4 & latest your test rom

honestly I must admit that this is the smoothest rom I tried, but has also an annoying issue... voice search keep crashing & I tried ALL (wipe, cache clean, etc..)

right now I'm on Redux rom which I think is very well built & clean, but again I miss yours :(

please can you give a look in voice search engine? thx
[Desire Android Development] Lorhdak:
Hi,

I've got a problem with your ROM. It does not include de widget I download. In other words, when I download an apps which required a widget (for example, advenced task killer) the widget does not appear on the list. That's quite embarrassing :/

Have u got a solution ?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
I had the same issue with Digital Clock widget, but a reboot made it show up in the widget list again. I'm running update-amethyst-test-01292011-signed.zip.
[Desire Android Development] Trebby:
I too have a problem it seems. First time user so maybe this is due to me but I can't seem to get the WIFI to work. Well, it works and I can see my wireless home network. But then there is a problem. It says I'm connected but as soon as that appears, the connection drops and my Desire says: "Disabled network, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". Than after 10sec maybe 11 it tries to reconnect, it says I am connected and than the connection seems to drop again and it says the same thing "Disabled network ,secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". And this goes on and on and on.

No problem with my wifi and I had no problems in the past with my Desire on my wifi-network so it has to be something concerning this ROM.

Edit: works fine after a reboot. Will report if problem occurs again.

Edit2: I have a new problem. I can not download anything from the Market...?

Edit3: Nevermind, another reboot fixed that too. :') Sorry.

Edit4: Is it normal that everything resets when you reboot? For example: I switched the launcher to Launcherpro, put Opera mobile as my standard browser but once I reboot, everything is back to scratch. I installed for example the Swiftkey and after a reboot the gingerbread keyboard is set as the standardkeyboard.

Edit5: Lol, I should check first before posting next time. After a reboot it works fine again. Strange. Bug maybe?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Hehe, this reminds me of the infamous phrase from the tv show The IT Crowd "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" :D
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Just flashed this ROM to try it out (was using Oxygen so far). The first thing is that my home button doesn't woek and I don't mean on the home button unlock. It simply doesn't work!! Whats up with this?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Are you sure you wiped everything that should be wiped? Do a full wipe and install again, not seen anyone else with your problem.
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Yeah, I did a full wipe. Anyways I did a reboot yesterday and after that everything worked fine. Strange...:confused:

I have one suggestion for the developers; could you please consider to use the status bar power widget icons from ClassicalGas (from his gingerbread theme for Oxygen 1.04)? You can see them on this screenshot:

.

In my opinion they are way better and suite the gingerbread nicely.

If not could someone please give me some tips on how to change them myself. I searched the framework-res but couldn't find current icons to replace them with the ones from classicalgas (maybe it's not that simple).
[Desire Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Search in SystemUI.apk. There you find them. Don't understand why in Gingerbread the graphics are split between framework-res and SystemUI.
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Thanks for the help! I've raplaced the icons in SysteUI.apk and pushed the file with adb to /system/app but nothing changed. Could you give me a hand with this please? What am I doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Nevermind, I solved it. It was my stupid mistake... :mad:
[Desire Android Development] yka:
Few problems,

No 128@setcpu, wifi shutdown after 5-10 min. Have to restart to get IP.

I'm using couts 825 kernel and newest test amyst.
[Desire Android Development] Trebby:
Hi, it's me again. Just want to tell you that previous problems are all solved just one I can't seem to find the solution to.

I don't really like the standard Messaging app that has been provided in Android so I use either Chomp, Handcent or Youlu. Now I have only Youlu installed as I prefer that one the most. There is just one problem, I can't seem to put this app as my standard/default app. Every time I receive a text message, I get a message from the default text app (in the notification bar) but nothing from Youlu. So when I press the message I received in the notification bar to go and answer, I get directed to the default messaging app.

Now you would say, why don't you just change it in Settings -> Manage Applications --> find the application and click the "Clear Defaults" button so the next time it would let me choose again between the available apps. The problem is, I can't. The button is greyed out and says 'No defaults set'.

The same thing happens when I try to use K-9 Mail as my standard email app. I can't clear the default apps and choose again. It won't let me choose even when I install a new app.

Same thing when using Swiftkey. Whenever I reboot the default keyboard is back to the original Gingerbread one. Rather unpleasant and spoils the experience imo. I will change back to another ROM until these problems are solved. Great and fast ROM, but these 2 things are irritating and spoil the great experience.
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
It is written in the changelog that the smooth battery icons from ClassicalGas are used from RC5, but they are not present in RC7. These are stock battery icons with only several animation "steps" where ClassicalGas ones have 100 "steps" if I'm not mistaking. What's up with this?
[Desire Android Development] steve2k:
Hello,

at first, thanks for the very good ROM :)

I have a small question about the free Internal Space on my device.

Currently i use A2SD and have 20MB Free Internal Space, but with my old ROM (Ginger Villian) there were 78 MB free Space. Have anyone the same Probleme? I suppose the Dalvik-Cache is in the internal Memory?

best regards

Steve
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Sorry guys but I stop Amethyst development because I can't stand anymore the kind of opposition there is between ROMs developers.

I'll answer to your questions in a few days, though.

I will maybe make a last release if Google finally releases an OTA for the Nexus One.

I'm so sad for those who liked the ROM. Just try Oxygen or CM, these ROMs are the best ones for our Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Meaple:
You can't stop dev work. It's a great rom to use. It's as truer to Android than any other rom
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Oh come on! I just flashed this ROM yesterday and it is, next to Oxygen, by far the best and smooth ROM for Desire...
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
Please don't!!

I love this ROM! It's simply the best!
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
I concur :)
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
This is very sad news indeed! I haven't tried the other ROMs, cause this one is just brilliant! Sucks to know it won't be continued, but I hope you know us users appreciated it alot! I hope some day you can start back up again, and I know I'll keep checking back here for good news :)

Again, thank you for all you work!

Best regards,

Advancer
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
My friend, you can't do that.......You must enjoy the community, US !!

[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Please don't stop development on this outstanding rom, it is by far the best performing, smoothest gb rom. I have tried them all and this rocks.

Super stable as well not a single forced reboot.

This is truly something special you have crafted.
[Desire Android Development] MrTimms:
Dude, this ROM was my big move off sense onto AOSP, please don't stop.

If you want, tell me who is giving you grief and I will bash 'em for you ;)
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
What happened ?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Very little update today.

@abc001

A2SD is no longer allocated to ext ;)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Updated to RC1 ! All is working except video recording ;)
[Desire Android Development] josdehaes:
Hi, flashed your ROM. Like it, feels faster than oxygen.

One thing I've noticed: Facebook doesn't offer to sync contacts. Worked with all other ROMs before. Anyone any clue?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I'll try to fix Facebook sync tomorrow ;) Thanks for the feedback.
[Desire Android Development] josdehaes:
ok, thx.

Running on oxygen HBOOT btw. 136MB free on /data without ext partition :-)
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
Nice ROM. Where can I add Boot Animation?
[Desire Android Development] m16:
Looking forward to seeing this rom progress. Hopefully will the clean, near stock AOSP rom Oxygen should have been.
[Desire Android Development] jannnnn:
Dude im very impressive early i use oxygen but web browsing was little sluggish then i change miui web browsing was amazing but battery life was very poor now i tried ur rom and its best what i can hope so keep it up!! I maybe dont download new batches because this is now the best!!

Thx a lot!

Sent from piece of my gingerbread
[Desire Android Development] Alamaa:
I love this so far, any status on the facebook bug? And how about the video bug?

Thanks for this. If you fix the bugs I might even donate ! :) Thanks for bringing this to me.
[Desire Android Development] tasty_boy:
WOW, that's what i call STOCK!

nice ROM, faster and cool!

could u add menu wake??

i think there's a bug in control bright, please look at that!

it could be PERFECT if you solve that, and add menu wake!

thanks. good work!
[Desire Android Development] Dabbsy:
Just installed your rom and the phone is stuck in a reboot loop, wiped cache & wiped data/factory reset.
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
Is it possible to include notification power widget, that is, pull down or enlargement of status bar icons? This can be found on the Ginger Bread ROMs, and is quite useful.

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I'm gonna try to fix some bugs and add useful things like menu unlock for example :) you can follow me on Twitter : @renandroid
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Some answers to your questions :

- I will certainly add menu unlock.

- I don't really plain to add other things except maybe customizable power widget.

- I'm currently working on Facebook sync bug.

- Video won't be fixed for now.

@Dabbsy

Could you give me a logcat (adb logcat) ?

I'm verry happy you like my work ! My first goal is to bring stock, fast and clean Android. I want my ROM to be as close to stock as possible but I'll add things that are missing in Android.

I also think I'll add MusicMod from CyanogenMod because it's a little bit better than stock Music app.

You can except the RC2 to be out before the end of the week. Maybe tomorrow ;)

Could also someone tells me if VoIP is working over 3g networks ?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Fixed facebook sync and another bug with shutdown dialog :)

Will upload RC2 tonight.

More changes will be introduced in RC3 ;)
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Thanks. Can't wait :)
[Desire Android Development] Patonator:
Ok, got my phone back, waiting for RC2 to flash ;)
[Desire Android Development] revthanki:
Lovely ROM a couple of requests

Hey! Great stuff so far. Two further things that would be lovely:

* The ability to set the id string in the browser (to desktop, iphone, whatever)

* the ability to set brightness levels

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I'm happy to introduce RC2 ! Hope you'll like it.

Don't worry, I'll add still missing features in RC3 ;)
[Desire Android Development] makedoc:
I love your ROM is very fast on my Desire. THX for your great work.

How do I install the A2SD? THX
[Desire Android Development] Antubis:
Please python, don't give up Amethyst !

I don't exactly know what you mean with "opposition between devs", but you have to remember you're the only one with a almost pure AOSP ROM (even Oxygen is more modded), and that's what is appreciated by us.

Keep your work on, we're all waiting for the N1 OTA to let you make the perfect GB ROM ;)
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
+1 my friend, you're totaly right
[Desire Android Development] slyn4ice:
Yes, please don't stop development! I just came from Oxygen and I'm loving your ROM! Screw the other devs, we like YOU! :)
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
+1 ,please carry on.
[Desire Android Development] karakal:
No, no, no... Where do I have to donate? Please don't stop. I can't stand CM, it is so bloated...
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Wise words, it's super clean, i'd say the cleanest AOSP at all. I have no clue how many would miss it, but quite a few would miss it a lot, please carry on
[Desire Android Development] dtopps:
Hands down the best ROM I've ever used. Always hated CyanogenMod for being too bloated and Oxygen is a bit unstable for me.

I was amazed by how fast this is and even more important to me, how *clean* it is, and I've tried Oxygen, AuraxTSense, ReflexTSense, LeeDroid, CyanogenMod 6/7, StarBurst, InsertCoin... Better than all of them.

Keep it going man, this is the only ROM I'll ever use.
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
hi

do you get theme picker in this rom
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
+1
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
While I obviously totally respect your decision to stop development of this rom dude, I just want to say thanks for all you've done so far. Really is a shame if you do cease working on it 'cos I have to say that this is by far the fastest, smoothest, cleanest rom around. I've loved it since I first tried it and was genuinely excited about the prospect of the post-OTA versions.
[Desire Android Development] darrenjc:
I agree with all comments! This IS the ROM to use on the Desire. Fantastic work mate and I really hope you continue the development.

10/10
[Desire Android Development] chevy chase:
This is a shame python
[Desire Android Development] Sulphy:
So I moved to this rom from Oxygen, and am super impressed.

Massive Shame the dev seems like he is giving up.!

One thing tho, my market force closes, and i have trawled the forums, and googled it, tried all the suggested things to sort it out, including flashing a new zip for the market, to no avail. I found a market 2.2.11, but it was missing a file.

Does anyone here have a flashable zip i could try? Much appreciated.

Hope that Python changes his mind! :)
[Desire Android Development] fifo:
Hello there,

I realy need help mates, I did search, but no luck..

I put this ROM on my Desire today, had wonderfull time with it for few hours. Than I decided to prepare my SD card for App2SD.. so I formated it fat32/ext2/ext3.. than I put it back into phone, and I guess since than, when I go to Settings/Storage all is gray there (Total/Available space, Mount SD card) except "Erase SD card" which can be used/ereased, but doesn't make any change.

I removed card from phone again, formated in PC to only fat32. Did factory data reset on the Desire.. but after boot still the same problem. SD card not mounted :confused:

Please help, I have no more ideas.

edit: what's really really weird.. When I reboot to recovery and connect with cable and do Mount USB drive.. it's monted to PC..! I can access it from PC.. That doesn't make sense to me at all :(

EDIT2: SOLVED! It has nothing to do with this great ROM. Problem was that card was formated and new partition created. BUT! In the Partition tool I didn't select partition to be Primary (default setting was Logical) and this is where whole problem starts and ends. Becouse when you than try to fix it and format it from windows (XP or WIn7) you got just opinion to format to Fat32 or NTFS.. you can't select if Logical or Primary.

Hope this will help anybody later.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Atomicman:
Hi Python08,

first - really great ROM - best GB rom so far!

But - the USB copy speed is so fu***** slow. I can copy on the SD card maybe with 200kb/s - sometimes less.

Is there any possibility to increase the speed? When i copy to the card with cardreader i reach about 6-8mb/s

Thanks ;-)
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Its a known issue with gb
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
It's the .37 kernel - known issue. Workaround is to flash with a different kernel, or do as me - live with it :) I just pop out the card and into the computer instead.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Or download a third party app from the market called Multi Mount SD Card. This will bring the normal speeds we're used too
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Note ad fast as usual for me, 1,2

MB/sec on a class 6 SD. But way better than 120 KB/sec.
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
Why? What happened?
[Desire Android Development] nelutuarm:
Please continue this great work

Why stop now? It's such a great rom.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
He'll be back :)
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Best news I've heard all day! :D
[Desire Android Development] Last Second:
word +1!

Do not understand why this thread or rom gets so little attention.

In my opinion its a lot of better than all other gb roms - in both battery life and performance/smoothness (not only in benchmarks, also in real life).

And with the right coutts99 kernel this **** is just a bomb
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yep, very clean & smooth rom, right now is one of my preferred
[Desire Android Development] sungeigedong:
Status Bar - FC in Oxygen RC7 too.
[Desire Android Development] fifo:
Anybody using exchange sync. with this ROM? For some reason my account can't sync and I get connection error. Hope I can solve this coz except for this issue the ROM really rox!
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
I do and its fine, did you do a full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] Atomicman:
Thanks for the hint!!!

It really works and i get about 1,8mb/s :-) Thats absolute fine for music etc.
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Hi, can anyone please recommend a radio and kernel for this ROm? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
The stock kernel is pretty good.radio wise,any 5.x is ok. Some ppl say 5.09 is less battery hungry, i never found the difference noticeable. Most battery usage is due to display anyway.
[Desire Android Development] poope:
thanks! Compared to stock, i get at least -2% per hour with screen off and sync off.Thats a too much imo.

5.17 radio and stock kernel
[Desire Android Development] vonjuntz:
