Is adfree working for anyone?
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
Who can I suggest a french translation for some words to?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Tonight : RC7 !

Changelog :

- Updated to Android 2.3.2

- Bug fixes

- Kernel enhancements (thanks to coutts99)

- A2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I've added all missing french translations in RC7.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Finally updated to RC7 ! =)
[Desire Android Development] Superboy58:
Downloading now. Will try it asap

@Nuntius

Many thanks, I didn't notice that.
[Desire Android Development] GuestK00150:
Working perfectly for me! THANKS for RC7 - seems like really good work of the whole amethyst crew!!!!! Hope you keep it up! Really like the ROM and the kernel!
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Thank you for this awesome ROM! Just installed RC7 and loving it! Keep up the great work guys :D
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Incredible score with the benchmark !!!!

Thx my friend..;)
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
If i dont have ext partition (to intentionally disable app2sd), can amethyst still work flawlessly ?
[Desire Android Development] Last Second:
Just installed it and restore my apps and configuration.

I'm lovin' it.

Run it with Set CPU on 1113 Mhz and interactive governer.

Extremly smooth - great performance - still in love!

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Yes. ;)
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Merci :) Confirmed to work... ;)

[Desire Android Development] crazylemon:
had some google process crashes after first boot. now after reboot, they are gone. problems so far ist the lousy wireless signal strenght (like in other gb roms).
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
rom nice and sweet, only problem is the kernel related one regarding usb transfers speed... I think coutts is working on it though ;)
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Performance wise, any table that fits the rom is the same, or the cache size may affect the speed?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Test build tonight :)

Get it

53.6Mo because I switched from eng build to standard user build :)
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
What's new with it?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's a test to see if user builds work great for everyone. (I installed it and it works great for me).

There's also a script from coutts99 to mount /system as rw on boot even if you're S-ON (but it doesn't work for me for now..)

Logcats would be useful for him to understand the problems and improve the script :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Output of mount please!

And try running the init script from adb shell
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Also does modprobe aufs work?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Here's the output :

I//system/xbin/busybox( 76): mkdir failed for /mnt/sdcard/sysrw, Read-only file system
I//system/xbin/busybox( 76): mount: mounting none on /system failed: Invalid argument
I//system/xbin/busybox( 76): run-parts: /system/etc/init.d/05modules exited with code 255
[Desire Android Development] python08:
No radio is required ;)

Use one of these :

5.08.00.04|5.09.00.08|5.09.00.20|5.09.05.30_2|5.10.05.17_2|5.10.05.23|5.11.05.14
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Why is sdcard read only? Is it running too early?

Run from adb shell after boot
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Python, i have the 5.11.05.27 !! Your rom in working like a charm !
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Sorry, I've forgotten this one ;)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's working if I rename the script "20sysrw" for example :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Thought it would :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I just pushed the fix to github ;)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I prefer this one : 5.09.05.30_2

Better battery life :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
5.14.05.17 for me :)
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
Oxygen RC7

Here are my lastest screenshots for Oxygen v2.0 RC7 Rom ( few add-ons on the second line )

Hope it helps you as i tried to show as more as possible :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
Best radio could vary depending on your location, network.

I've been using 30_2 because it was known to be the best on battery life, i switched to 05.17 yesterday and i can't see much difference .. so i guess using the latest can't hurt ;)

IMO
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Yorzua, beautiful job !!! I like it !
[Desire Android Development] ettore2379:
notification led receiving SMS

All works great with this ROM. Only a question: I installed GO SMS but when I receive an SMS I've not the notification led (I activated it in app menu).
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
quick question : did you guys manage to workaround the USB slow transfer rate ?
[Desire Android Development] cpt.bert:
How can i speed up the UI. I find that it is slower than with the stock htc 2.2 rom.

Maybe i need to change kernel or radio?
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
Why Ô why is it so difficult to get a data connexion working every time I want it to??? (I'm not blaming this ROM, only Froyo seems to work OK but I prefer GB...)
[Desire Android Development] SebHTCHero:
I used a micro-sd to sd adapter and plugged it in my laptop. Don't know if you can call that a workaround :p

Other than this problem, this ROM is flawless.
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
;) well there's allways a way to "go around" mounting usb storage from the recovery.

it's just a tiny bit annoying to have to reboot the phone to get file transfer speed above 150kb/s ...

not a big issue though and especially since this rom is so far the best i've been around !!

(only wish there would be a better camera app in it... i know, je radote, but is anyone able to port HTC Camera to AOSP ?)

thank you very meutche
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
Another alternative is to use Dropbox to transfer file between your computer and your Desire x)

Just got one tiny thing I can't fix... Once I build a theme with circle.glx.nl (just to get jazz battery %), the unlock screen seems to change its grey when I slide...

No big deal, I know it's not the rom but the builder, but just wanna noticed it !
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
New to Amethyst but absolutely loving it so far! Super fast and seems stable.

TAP Benchmark with the newest test build is pretty impressive :-)

Just out of interest, does anyone know what version of the kernel is in the test build? Notice that the mighty Coutts has a new build which post-dates the test Rom build but loathe to update it cos it's running super smooth for now! :-)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
I'm having a problem with the market, I have to download everything twice before it will install. The first download will appear in the notification bar as normal, but when it finishes it will just disappear and not install. Repeating the process will download it again, then it installs normally. Also, neither download will trigger the 'Downloading' notice in the app's page in the market so I can't cancel downloads. I'm on the N1 table if that matters
[Desire Android Development] thdj:
Excellent ROM though I can't find the setting entry to specify the screenlock timeout :( Someone can tell me in which file I can change this setting?

Good job anyway !
[Desire Android Development] AssassinSvK:
is some theme to download working with this rom?

thx
[Desire Android Development] edkis:
How can i disable the settings bar /wifi bt gps/ on top of the notifications because the original gingerbread it hasn't and i'm using widget for it.
[Desire Android Development] AssassinSvK:
v menu mas polozku use notification power widget, skus ju odskknut a nemalo by sa ti to zobrazovat...
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:

[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
You can use circle.glx.nl to mod the battery and some thing, but careful
[Desire Android Development] python08:
New test build : http://doctype-ik.com/roms/test/update-amethyst-test-01262011-signed.zip

What's new :

- Very light (user build) but adb remount,.. thanks to AdamG

- Faster progress spinner thanks to ClassicalGas

- You can disable colored indicators under widgets in status bar widget

Just try :)
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Seems to do everything as described, nice keep up the great work.
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
thanks dude, wanna try that !
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Any help with this?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I also used to have this issue but the latest test build seems to fix it :)

Try ;)
[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
New test build seems really fast, and 115MB free is very nice!!!

The only things that are a shame are that there seems to be no lockscreen and as the phone can be woken with menu key and trackball, its too likely that it'll be doing things while it's in my pocket.

Also no video recording as yet which is a shame as it is working in Gingervillain 0.9.

If these things could be sorted this would certainly be the best Gingerbread ROM around in my opinion.

In spite of these things though, there is so much else about this ROM that DOES work and works well, so any thanks Python08 :)

Regards

wildcardspv
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Nope, still getting the same problem, logcat attached
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
I have a lock screen which is working fine and always has.
[Desire Android Development] Superboy58:
@Python08: You should put the latest Market v.2.2.11 in the next release and not the v.2.2.7 like in RC7.

Tu pourrai traduire en français les changelog aussi stpl parce que des fois c'est un peu technique pas évident à comprendre et bien sur une traduction auto ne donne rien. (pour les changements de version de la dernière Build de test par exemple j'ai rien compris xD)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Been doing some testing, it appears that if I visit the app's page on the market during the download, the app will finish downloading and do nothing (no install). But if I don't go to the app page, it will be successful every time
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
Could you implement these functions in the next release (if people agree) :

- wake with trackball (edit actually wakes with home key ;) )

- lockscreen music controls

- volume up/down track skip

best rom !!!
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
@wuub for the first one is already the case :) In Accessibility

Wake and unlock with trackball ;)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Uploaded a new RC7 : same features as the latest test build.

It should be the last version before Google releases an OTA..
[Desire Android Development] python08:
For the market issue, I will try to fix it but it seems to be a problem with the app itself.. I already had this issue with other ROMs.. Is there this issue on CM or on Oxygen ?
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
Maybe can you add the Gingerbread Sound ?
[Desire Android Development] hejhej.ac:
Is there a way to disable menu wake? i only want to have wake on trackball, that button is harder to hit by accident.

Apart from that i think this rom is nicer & cleaner than Oxygen =) Havent had any bugs so far!

Edit: And LED flashlight would also be nice!
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
wipe dalvik

Hey guys!

Just a quick question: how do I wipe Dalvik cache?

Thanks in andvance!
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
Hi Simon1283,

Recovery>Advanced

No news with low transfer SD speed?
[Desire Android Development] azure89:
Hi there!

Sorry if you already answered to this question but: Which Partition Table do you recommend for this rom?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Oxygen does not have the issue but it is using the old market. I haven't tried CM.
[Desire Android Development] edkis:
Is still needed app2sd because every app I move in manage apps to the sd ?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Are you using ClockWork Recovery? If so, boot into Recovery and go to Advanced, where you'll find Wipe Dalvik Cache.
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
That's what I needed. I'm using ClockWork Recovery.

Thanks!

(Also to Nuntius of course!)
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
gmail not syncing

Hi!

I still have this issue with the gmail app: I have two gmail accounts, but only one, the main account, is syncing properly. The second does not receive emails automatically...

Am I really the only one with this problem? No one an idea about how to solve it?

Thank you! ;)
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
@python08: I never had market issues on cm 7.

Sent via homing pigeons
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
I think this is a bug but I haven't tested with other roms. When you don't have google voice search installed and you long press the search button, the phone will vibrate and stop vibrating rapidly continuously until you let go, then search opens.
[Desire Android Development] Gundam00qan:
Hello, got a question. Is the App2SD on this ROM the App2SD+ or froyo-related App2SD?

Thanks.

Can I install Firerat?

Contact's buggy. Transfer from SD suddenly crashed and only half appear. Re transfer and you have double same contacts..Lol x.x
[Desire Android Development] Superboy58:
@ All : Just download and flash Market update 2.2.11 in recovery because Amethyst ROM contains Market 2.2.7 wich is not stable and cause many bug
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Market issue will be fixed in the next release ;)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Awesome!

Here's some feature requests from me:

Long press volume keys to change tracks

Full silent (no vibrate) mode
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Python, your rom with Launcher pro+ is really paradise !!!! For me, Sence is a old story !!! The future of Android is Ginger and Honeycomb...

Je suis aussi pour une fonction "wake" and "unlock" avec le trackpad..:D C'est trop pratique..;)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
@darkyannick

You can activate trackpad wake and unlock under Settings > Accessibility.
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
I agree to

[*]Full silent (no vibrate) mode

!!
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
does this rom have app2sd or data2sd yet?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Apps2sd
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
so i should partition my sd card b4 installing? will ext4 work?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Yes I have ext4 partition
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
would u recommend this rom? im using a sense hd rom and i love it specifically for the friend stream feature. is there any app that resembles friend stream? or can i copy the friendstream apk to this rom and will it work?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Not sure, I don't use friendstream.

Do a nandroid first and can always go back to sense easy enough :)
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
alright imma give er a go. ill post my review in about a half hour after i partition using gparted and intall the rom
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
is app2sd come preintalled? or do i have 2 activate it?
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
coming from a sgs with a gingerbread rom, i have 2 say it looks mint. very clean look. specifically the backgrounds. love this rom. gonna try afew others but most likety come back to this
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
k i just flashed cyanogen and i find it kinda laggy. only feature i love is the on / off animation. i know this rom has the off animation . does it have the on?
[Desire Android Development] Mike_52:
You can edit your post ;)
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
ok but that doesnt answer my question. does this rom have both the open and close animations?
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Thx my friend;)
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
Just want to say that the latest build is faster than Wyle E Coyote with an acme rocket on his back and a match in his hand! :-)

Oddly enough tho, all Coutts' subsequent kernel builds seem to slow my phone down compared to the RC7 one.... is it optimized for this rom or does that one just suit my cpu perfectly?

Anyway, amazing work guys, best ROM out there by far..... thank you.
[Desire Android Development] jamadant:
Friend stream replacement

I use launcherpro which has a good friend stream replacement that links into facebook and twitter. you also get a calendar app similar to htc.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
New test build : http://doctype-ik.com/roms/test/update-amethyst-test-01292011-signed.zip

Market fixed :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Upgraded, all good :)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Works great, nice job!
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
What do I have to wipe before installing?

Thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
very good build, test build is very clean & fast, in my (personal) opinion, faster & cleaner than last Oxygen RC (No7)

just a couple of suggestions/issues:

1. perhaps it's a problem of my config, but for ex the album doesn't rotate automatically [NEVERMIND - CORRECTED :) ]

2. changing wpa supplicant from 15s to 60s gives less battery draining without loosing wifi performance

3. adding battery percentage

4. adding "quiet hours" would be very useful

this rom coupled with latest 825 coutts kernel gives very low battery consumption, at least for me, of course heavy undervolted kernel could give different impression upon HW differences
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
I've found a bug, I'm not sure if this is a gingerbread or Amethyst issue, haven't had a chance to test on Oxygen. When you turn on USB storage, there's a dialog that pops up warning you about applications that may stop and be unavailable. If you rotate the screen when this dialog shows, the notification bar force closes and disappears.
[Desire Android Development] tasty_boy:
This sounds interesting!!!!!

2. changing wpa supplicant from 15s to 60s gives less battery draining without loosing wifi performance
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Just updated from RC7 to the latest test build. Cleared all cache/partition/dalvik as usual, and everything except USB transfers are working like a charm.

This was also the case on RC7.

When copying to the card using USB storage on the phone, I only get 170 KB/s. Anyone else seen this? A friend at work tried Amethyst as well and he also experienced the same slow USB transfer.

I'm using a 8GB class 6 card with 1GB Ext4 partition. Could Ext4 be the cause of this slowdown? Not had this problem with same card, but on different ROMs.

Besides the little slow USB transfers, I love this ROM, and just donated :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Its a kernel issue with .37. Looks like we have to wait for an upstream fix. Thalamus had opened an issue for it.

If your desperate for it, install a .35 kernel.
[Desire Android Development] lolog4:
same issue for me 140 ko/s 8gb class 6 with ext3 520mo!

edit: i use your "couttstech-2.6.37_OC1190_HAVS@925mV_Ginger_CFS_VR_SLQB.zip" kernel !
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Thanks for the reply! I'll manage, everything else is running as intended =)
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
Executive Assistant, I use it with the "Welcome Screen" option, so on unlocking my phone I get a quick list and preview of new emails, calendar events, missed calls, sms messages, tasks, rss, twitter and facebook updates. You can customize it, so for example clicking the sms tab icon opens Hancent, rss icon opens Google Reader etc.

I used to miss FreindStream, but no more! I also use the small 1x1 widget for quick access to all lists/tabs.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
test rom working perfect, no FC, no reboots, BT & new market work perfect, no issues in 2 days of heavy usage, very smooth rom, generally smoother than other roms (coming from Oxygen RC7)

just new market is a bit sluggish on 1st load, then it flies as should

actually I'm using your test rom coupled with 825mV coutts kernel, also with 850 all is ok, but with 825 battery drain is slower

upgraded from Oxygen RC7 without wipe, without nothing, just installed over

the only thing that I missed (a couple of seconds :D ) was the flash led-lamp option in the bar, solved by installed 3rd app from market... anyway I have a "hole" in the bar with 5 buttons instead of 6, probably doing wipe will recreate original bar with 6 buttons but I don't care actually

please try to keep the rom the lightest is possible, this is the true BIG advantage, 99% of things can be obtained/installed after-market

thank you,

davide
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
Latest kernel

Hey guys!

Just updated to the latest test build and it runs just perfect, very smooth, very plain!!

But still, I have a question: how do I get the latest kernel?? After installing the latest test build I still have

2.6.37-amethyst

python@talisker #4

as kernel.

Is this the latest coutts99 version??

How can I install the latest kernel?

Thanks in advance!!
[Desire Android Development] -sky:
Is the camera and camcorder working on RC7?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yep, but only on low quality
[Desire Android Development] HTC 123:
Does anyone have a fix for the slow USB transfer rate?? I reformatted my card and have to copy the music back and windows is telling me its going to take 60 hours :/
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Install a .35 kernel
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
It's fairly recent, but you can always grab latest one from my thread.
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
Been running yr couttstech-2.6.37_OC1190_Ginger_CFS_VR_SLQB.zip kernel (the version which uploaded to yr site on Feb 01), for 24hrs now, as always, with Dalvik wipe on install but it seems really laggy on the latest amethyst test build compared with the "stock" version, so I've just reverted back to the clean test build.

With the clean install I'm getting 6k+ with TAP benchmark, with the new one I'm lucky to get above 3500......

Has anything changed with the kernel build that would cause such a slow down?

Still absolutely loving this ROM and nothing but major respect for coutts99 for the magnificent work he does with the kernel, was just interested to know if anything was changed for the Feb 01 build!
[Desire Android Development] SebHTCHero:
You could reboot in recovery, mount your sdcard from there and restore your music.
[Desire Android Development] HTC 123:
That's what I had to do in the end however the speed only increase to 2mb per seconds (class 4 card) but that is better than nothing its all done but thanks for your help :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
New test build : http://doctype-ik.com/roms/test/update-amethyst-test-02022011-signed.zip

Little updates like kernel, su and fixes from AOSP.

[EDIT] I CAN'T BOOT WITH THIS TEST BUILD AND I GET STRANGE ERRORS EVEN AFTER A FULL WIPE

BE CAREFUL!
[Desire Android Development] JoaoVr:
I like your ROM ;) Thanks
[Desire Android Development] python08:
There's something wrong in the kernel updates coutts pushed to github..

With the kernel from an earlier test build, all works great :)

Could someone test ? (if you're brave enough)
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
Happy to test it - do you have a link to the previous kernel?
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Tried every which way to apply this update, no wipes, partial wipes and full wipes. No joy I a am afraid, it will not boot.

No harm done, backup restored successfully.

Update: installed latest kernel over the top and all working fine.
