Database Develop

Are we near the end?

Well, i just have a feeling that the total happy modding flashing days of the IncS is coming to an end
Every day i check these forums & the quantity of posts have diminished, not much development either.
i guess the last stop would be the ICS official release (if it happens) post which am certain there won't be any further updates for the IncS...
the shelf life of the phone seems just to be over a year...
all good things must come to an end
and that makes me quite unhappy

Well, if you saw the evo 3d had no action, and the ics leak brought it back to life
Hopefully that will happen to us, but it seems more and more people are selling and buying something else :/
Still, looking forward to a stable sense 4

Once ics is released things will pop back to life. No one wants to spend time on an old os. It's much much simpler to mod a official release than a ported one. All I want is a senseless version of the official with trebuchet and ill be happy.

I agreed with you about the senseless version. IMO, ICS default launcher is better than sense.
I hate the way they classify "denied-call" into "missed call". We got it, not missed it.

LOL so much hatred for sense
I like sense
I like the launcher, the nice animations and the features it adds
I honestly can't wait for a working sense 4 rom
Anyone with me, or am I on my own?

1000% here with you mate.
Don't mistake me, i really love sense...
I never have used a 'sense-less' rom except for IceCold...

I have tried cm7, miui, icecold sandwich
All of them weren't on my phone for more than a week
And thanks for being so with me on this, 1000% is a lot

Dude sense all the way... Or why would I spend the extra money buying HTC device instead of nexus s... Sense is beautiful!!

True, but I bought a HTC over a samsung initially because of not only sense, but the fact that it has more ram. 768mb is more than enough for ics

Whats the "Plus" in sense:
-The animations that you wont get in any other Android mobiles like Samsung, LG etc..
-Launcher looks
- Extras like Weather animations. (That made my friend who has a S2 jealous of me)
- HTC sense integration with internet.
- There are many other plus point in sense.
Minus: It makes the phone lag sometimes. But i never experienced the lag. I see my phone lagging only when i try to play a 720p movie and i try to skip some scenes it takes some time to load which didnt happen in Sense-Less ROM's.

Love sense too can't wait to get sense 4.0

Im actually flashing playground for the first time right now

I love Sense but after using ICS i just cant go back to Gingerbread. The Appdrawer and notifications are just so much better on ICS
And to the original topic, Miui no longer supports incredible S so in a way thats sign. But once official ICS comes out I have a feeling development will spring to life again.

What's the best sense 4/ICS rom?

It's all in the title. Which rom are people most happy with and which has the leased bugs i.e. Camera, backlight, gps etc.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

Nik aura is the best for me..Everything works except wifi hotspot. If you set the sense camera to 5mpx it works perfectly.

yeah niks aura rebirth is the one with the least amount of bugs gps does not work, but camera and the rest are fine.

the one ported by Nik is good,but the gps doest work,and i really need the gps.hope it can be fixed soon

hats off to NICK
Just saw the video of new ROM which is being done by NIK
that is super cool, i currently using his inc and sense 4a
it would be great to see full sense
THANKS NIK

I used Nik, it's excellent, if you want a Rom without sense, try IceColdSandwich 8.0, an excellent rom as well

notifications in nik ICS V2.0
hi
i tried to use notifications as in nick ics v1.0 as given by sarajkumar in

but for me it just doesnt show the all the icons
please let me know the way out
thanks

Try re-flashing it or do a clean install.
I wonder why HTC does not rellease all the drivers... we wouldn't be having so many problems otherwise

What about l0st prophets??

Running niks sense 4a rom and loving it, GPS is working, camera working... No complaints

i'm using Nicks Rom and it's vey good...very smooth and no lags..

I've been using Nik's Aura Rebirth Sense 4a v.2.0 rom since Sunday! Everything's working fine except wifi hotspot.
Known bugs, that appeared during the 2 days for me:
- After flashing the backlight fix, (happens quite often) when the screen goes off the backlights stay on
- The other frequent problem is, that the lockscreen shortcuts completely disappear
Camera works perfectly at 5 mpx and all-in-all the rom is smooth

Are u using the tweaks?
Did u use titanium or similar app to get ur apps back?
How's ur battery life? Are u running OC?
20 questions I know, but running trinity v4. 5 and very happy with it, but wanna give sense 4 a go.

My 2 cents.

Ok, you are not going to like this, but I just have to share my experiance with the 4.0.X series.
None, is good enough for daily use, yet.
Example: In my car, BT on, GPS on and incoming call hangs. Total lock up, random reboot. Messages: Contact process do not answere, would you like to terminate process. FB, same. Go Launcher, same.. other apps, same. Had ardx or CK kernal. No hyper settings, nothing more than on a regular GB rom.
I am starting to have dissbelieves on 4.X.X on this device. Reason? CPU and RAM in combination of looked up drivers our excellent developers can't get their hands on and mix/crossovers from other devices ports
Question: Is there anyone loobying / connected to Qualcomm/Huawei?
What can I do?
Please, this IS NOT any critique to anyone involved with any rom, port, dev, member or post. Just a question on where we are heading.

Same my thoughts and that is the reason I'm still on GB (Bumblebee), I was getting lot of Launcher Redraws also on 4.0.4 and all the other problems which you mentioned and the culprit is our RAM which is not even 512mb (only 351 or 356MB), if you switch off running background processes then what's the use of a smartphone without multi tasking.

Hi chrillefr...Have you tried IceCold 8.0...Before this ROM I had the same feeling what you have now...but since this ROM has come I have tried other ROM's experimenting but I revert back to this ROM.
Your feedback on this?...Our developers are working hard to get the perfect ROM for this phone.

And forgot to mention...If you have any issues with the launchers...try 360 with IceCold 8.0 it is good.

.. yes, a bit of that in my mind. I know dev's are working their ass of to get all of this together and I'm blessed to take part of it too. Also, I'm thinking about "less" important features such as FM and full cam support, compiling kernals etc but I feel a bit helpless not being able to contribute more than on a philosophical level...

i think it depends on what u want.like if ur req is just the basics like me
im sure the matBLK provided CM9 A99 ending with the no 610 should be good enough i have been using it for a long time and have had no FC or any problems with it .My feeling is that is is very much a daily use ROM
but then i just need the basics thats all:laugh:

Multitasking, cam, BT and GPS and no wait state is what I need for daily use. Cam corder and front cam if possible.
Now, battery is good, sound and tether too.
Lets say I want to relie on my phone around others, not necessary stand out but not die on me like an old car that I don't know if it takes me from A to B.
Roms are getting larger both on cpu and gpu, just as computers and I guess we are getting closer to the limit with this one. So build light.
Sent from my A99 using xda app-developers app

Very true bro.
After extensively testing most of the roms in this forum, especially the ics ones, I've finally gone back to Sharp Rom fix 1, as most of the ics roms are not really designed for our device and though the Devs are doing there best to make it work but let's face is, I don't think our device can take that much any more. I personally multitask a lot and its very annoying and embarrassing when it fcs or reboot while your trying to show something to someone. As for me I think am gonna stick with Sharp for a while till something comes out of all the ics roms. I've asked if ck could make his kernel compatible with sharp cos I fill that will make it great.
Also don't you guys think most of these roms that aren't really meant for our phones that we regularly flash can be detrimental to the health of our phones at the long run? Like Chris will say, just my 2 cents lol.
This is just my personal opinion and am sorry if it makes some peep feel bad.

As Wesleyel said I also feel that ICS is not running smooth on our devices, I still feel that CPU and GPU are quite capable of running it but RAM is really giving us a headache, you can see that lot of 1ghz or less phones are running ICS nicely like ZTE Blade, skate, some Huawei phones also.... anyhow presently would like to stay on GB and will like to see what Jelly Beans port come to our devices by the devs

Well, I call this good news bcause I had a Blade before this. So now I can recommend ICS to them too. Any special port you'd suggest? Again, good to see you around!

Who said i'm getting a new phone? Nah the suprise is still in the works, so far it is stock themed, but im not going to release it like that, if all goes to plan it will have an awesome theme, with super smoothness.
It supports all kernels, including stock, 725mhz, 77xmhz, and 806mhz.
I am creating wallpapers and testing to make sure it is stable and bug free, however This rom will be very app minimal this meaning only the core apps are there freeing space and speeding up the rom things such as facebook, teeter all the bloatware is gone.
There is support for 3D home screen swapping and hopefully support for link2sd soon.
It should be out by the end of the weekend, if not early next week because I have college to fit inbetween.
Be prepared for the ReVoLuTiOn!

Sent from my HTC Desire C

You would think this device would be more popular since it's dirt cheap... but I guess the specs don't excite rom developers, people prefer raw performance rather than efficiency. Maybe this device has already hit its limit in optimizations...

I don't think it has, as said before i'm new to compiling and modding things on android, it will take a while I think but hopefully it will be faster than nameless. Currently the scrolling seems liquid smooth and I have tweaked the graphics drivers a little for that extra little bit. However To add some tweaks what i need I can't make a update script that works, but it should be fixed soon once I know how to do it more im learning bit by bit.
People who want too test PM me, I have a couple of testers but i'm not releasing any beta until my theme and tweaks are sorted out.

[Discussion][2.3.7] Cyanogenmod 7

This is a topic that discusses the possibility and pros/con's of having a gingerbread rom on our desire c.
Personally I think that gingerbread is like CLASSIC android, and 4.0+ is More MODERN android.
I have absolutely no experience in building Roms so I ask the developers here to maybe try to build something more old fashioned
I am willing to test any and every ROM made.
What do you guys think?
I feel that we have run out of Roms to build in android Jelly bean so why not try something old but fresh!

Thanks that would be awesome!!! And to all the haters (me, and brnt) not everyone likes the way android 4.0+ looks. I personally like it but I like 2.3 better...
Pros / Cons of gingerbread:
Pros:
- better menu look
- faster performance on our hardware
- less bulky than jelly bean (animations, apps, etc)
- more classic of android
- AWESOME 3D GALLERY
- Officially supported hardware
Cons:
- less smooth as jellybean
- less app support
- less RAM management

Pros / Con's of Cyanogenmod 7 (not the stock GB features)
Pros:
-more customization than cm10

Con's:
-less "spin offs" (Provision, Etc.)
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app

Why would you downgrade a device to software that is 2 years old? If you wanted to get 2.3 buy a wildfire S... The main selling point of this device was at the time it was a very cheap and good quality handset running the latest version of android which was 4.0! And gingerbread was old and looked outdated compared to modern day Android (entirely opinion though)
The points you made with stock gingerbread were mostly opinion, and about the jelly bean being bloated (which I agree with) remember that the HTC Desire C came with stock ICS which was smooth when coupled with sense. And I think someone can port the "AWESOME 3D GALLERY" if it hasn't been done already.
It would be great to see it happen, but what's the point?

If you want GB ( Not CM7 ), you can port stock rom from HTC Explorer. Desire C and Explorer have same chipset, so the ROM will boot and function out of box. Only, BT and WiFi wont work at first. You can fix that later.

Well I like your idea of having something classical. And no I am not a hater, I'm just stating an opinion.
That is why its a [Discussion]. What I recommend you doing is to learn how to do stuff on your own and not rely on others.
I was curious about kernels, so I learned. I mean it shouldn't be that hard to follow a guide.

About GB
me too ... i wish theres a GB/CM7 roms here... .. .but it is more smooth if it is a plain GB (doesnt have a Sense) ... and also about the kernel?? what kernel we should flash?

You should use kernel 2.6.x for GB. For that you need to port Explorer's 2.6.x stock kernel source to Desire C, just like we ported 3.0.x kernel for Explorer from Desire C.
