I had issues with NFC & Wi-fi Direct both of them are working well now and the battery and overall performance just got better
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using xda app-developers app
yeah I really think that it does provide an improved battery efficiency but I don't know about the performance aspect .
Does wp_mod (/system write protection mod) work on stock 4.3?
Has anyone tried it yet?
From what I've noticed, yes, it does improve performance and battery life significantly. Other bonus features I appreciate are support for lockscreen widgets and ability to customize quick settings.
I did experience a couple of unpleasant things after the update, though.
I use the last.fm app and the stock music player. After the upgrade, each time I switched to a home screen containing a music player widget, I got a message about the last.fm app crashing. This appears to have been solved by a reboot, it does not happen right now.
After 20 days of uptime, something appears to have started on the phone which both made the lockscreen extremely laggy and it also drained power like mad. Even charging from a USB port took about twice as long as it usually does. Again, a reboot seems to have fixed this, but I'm curious how it will perform after a month of uptime – I'll report back here unless I forget.

I get those errors too man. I too used last.fm for scrobbling, but it always crashes (force closes) the moment a song starts, which is kinda sad And yeah I experience the second problem too not frequently though. Also sometimes after my phone is charged to 100% it drains immediately to 92-93% the moment I plug it out. Have to keep it 20 minutes or a little bit more to prevent this happening

I found out that the last.fm app doesn't have access to the com.htc.music/MediaPlaybackService intent – looks like the update restricted access to that interface or something. Maybe reinstalling the last.fm app would help, maybe last.fm needs to update it.
Also, looks like the issue affects other HTC phones with 4.3/5.5: http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Android/forum/114391/_/2218309
By the way, I only use the last.fm app to see peoples' details in my contacts. For scrobbling, I've been using the simple last.fm scrobbler app since about forever, because I find it much more reliable at scrobbling than the official last.fm app. Also, it supports more players.

Yeah, the battery indicator seems to jump to 100% immediately after reaching 90%. Leaving it plugged in for a bit longer seems to work for me too. AFAIK, this is a common issue with a lot of Android kernels across various devices…

Yeah I know I've seen some HTC users complain on Google Play too (comments section) guess the problem's with HTC Sense? My cousin's Nexus 4 never had problems like these with last.fm :/

The update has been excellent so far. After some time searching through the settings, I found out that there is a move apps to sd function. That's a welcome addition.

Well, stock Android has the com.android.music app for music playback; HTC Sense has its own player, com.htc.music. AFAIK, they come with compatible interfaces, the last.fm app just doesn't get access to the Sense player while it does get access to the stock one.

Where is this setting?
update nvm i found it
Also how is USB connection? Mine is such a mess after the update partly cuz I'm using Windows XP =/
For the most part only thing i dislike about 4.3 w sense 5.5 is the keyboard auto correct, if u type something in English letters but phonetically for anotger language or even say if you type something wrong and you hit space it will replace it with what it thinks you meant, if you hit backspace nothing happens where as before with all previous htc keyboards if you type something wrong and auto correct fixes it n you hit backspace it reverts back to what you originally typed and hitting space from there will save it to your dictionary and i loved that but now its gone. I tried putting back the keyboard apk from 4.2.2 and setting permission but no luck.

Hmm, actually, the behavior you described didn't work for me even on 4.2.2, i.e. even before the update, hitting backspace after an autocorrect didn't undo its effects for me. I do remember though, that I really liked this feature on 2.x versions of Android with the then-current versions of Sense and I'm missing it as well…
By the way, speaking of the keyboard, does anyone else experience an issue where certain words that are obviously retained as part of my personal dictionary (like certain Slovak words without accents) that don't show up in the list of words when I choose to edit the dictionary? Case in point: some time ago I used to write SMS messages in Slovak without diacritics and a lot of words got into my dict that way. I've switched to diacritics-enabled messages since, because why not and because a lot of words with diacritics are already part of the built-in dictionary. However, I can't completely remove all the words without accents from my personal dictionary because they just don't appear in the list.

There is an annoyance that whenever I take a portrait picture, the gallery ends up showing it landscape.

As you can see half of the screen shows that it's black. I think the keyboard has something to do with it. Also, the keyboard feels more unresponsive now.

As most of you know, cyanogenmod beats just about everything, in terms of speed and reliability. If you haven't tried it here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957336
But coming from Sense, one thing i can't stand is how ugly (and sometimes not functional) some of the apps are.
This thread will attempt to compile a list of the top replacement apps for:
Camera(/Video camera)
Browser
Keyboard
Browser
Gallery
Dialer
SMS
Music player
Facebook Integration
I'll post the ones which are generally agreed to be the better ones in the next post, possibly with download links. Please try them, and others, and provide reviews.
Please note, i know that there cannot be one BEST app, but id like to get reviews of the top few, and then anyyone can choose for themselves.
And also, these aren't necessarily for Cyanogenmod only; if you're not happy with the stock apps you can try these out too.
CAMERA:
Ive tried MIUI camera and it works great; takes good pictures, functional and pretty fast. But I heard there were some problems with video capture; not recording 720p.
APK file is in a zip file attached to this post. Unzip, then install like normal APK. (Thanks stony2k)
Camera360 Ultimate seems to be the favourite. Has a whole bunch of options and takes pretty decent pictures. Doesn't support video recording though which sucks.
https://market.android.com/details?id=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid
BROWSER:
After trying a bunch of different browsers, I've got to say that Dolphin Browser HD is the smoothest, most functional of all the browsers, and far better than even the sense browser. It supports gestures, full screen mode, delete history on exit, add ons and all these features make this a must try:
LINK
Alternatively, you can try Dolphin Mini. Its extra light, so it uses a lot less memory, and always runs smooth:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dolphin.browser
If you don't always use flash, I'd recommend Firefox.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en
KEYBOARD:
If you like the stock HTC keyboard, try this; its a VERY customisable version of HTC's keyboard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 (thanks cjward23)
Personally I'd recommend Better Keyboard 8; supports a lot of skins, so you can match it with your theme as well. Not to mention you can change the size of the keys, type of keyboard, sounds etc:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.betterandroid.betterkeyboard8
GALLERY:
Alot of people aren't happy with the stock gallery (gallery 3D) in CM7 roms. Personally I think its great; fast, smooth, convenient everything.
However, if it doesn't work for you, you could try Quickpic. The entire idea behind it is that its supposed to be really fast, and it definitely is. It takes a bit to load the thumbnails the first time you launch it, but its amazingly fast, if not a bit too minimalistic:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
DIALER: Alot of people like Go dialer, and I've got to agree with them. It has a lot of functions such as t9 dialer (dont know how you can do without it), support for themes etc.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact
SMS Awaiting more suggestions
Music Player: Fortunately, there are several options out there that easily beat HTC's music player (which is pretty basic).
First, theres Poweramp. Personally, its my favourite. It has a lot of options that allow you to tweak sound quality, everything from equaliser to SRS and DOLBY, it supports album art download, transparent widgets, skins, fade in/out of songs etc. One of the best :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
You can also try Playerpro: Everything feels as if it was very well thought, supports skins, widgets etc:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
PROBLEM WITH ADOBE FLASH 10.2:
i.e. video plays but screen is blank, sound works. If you have this problem (NOT limited to cyanogenmod) then heres a fix thats worked for me, everytime: Uninstall previous flash versions, and kill browsers (task manager, reboot). Then download and simply install thanks geko95gek
http://www.multiupload.com/374XQZ7WG0
If you have a problem with flash, then Flash 10.3 might work for you, but it didn't for me.
If any problem with links, please do report
If you found anything helpful in this thread, kindly THANK me
Works like a charm for those who are having issues with latest versions of Flash player.
Before installation remember to kill your browsers and uninstall previous Flash versions.
Alternative browsers I can recommend:
Skyfire, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini.
Go sms and go dialer are good replacements for stock phone and mesaaging app. And quick pic is good gallery replacement not as flashy as the sense one but much quicker than the stock app. And +1 for dolphin as web replacement web browser.
And you can get the htc keyboard from this thread, just install like anyothe key board app from the market http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416

whats the difference between dolphin HD and mini?
and also, would this trick make flash work on Sense roms? Since flash is pre installed in them, would there be a way to uninstall previous version?

Dophin mini is a very light browser, by default when a web page loads it doesnt load flash content. You have to touch the content to make it load, which makes it very fast compared to the HD version of it.
As for flash on Sense, the only way you can remove it as far as I am aware is to have the phone fully rooted first. Then you can uninstall via Titanium Backup, to replace it though with another version you will have to push the apk via adb.

Definitely agree.. i DO have to admit that sense makes everything work together very nicely, but it slows down my phone too much to justify that.. despite that i AM a fan.. i was wondering.. there are several dialers out there.. but is there a way to replace the actual call screen?
like this.. this is the Sense 'call screen' or whatever you want to call it.. the stock android one isn't very user friendly.. any way to change it?

Have also tried PowerAMP too, but personally, the layout is a little confusing for me, prefer the interface and the album art system based on the PlayerPro, but to be honest, both very similar and both very good players, just depends on the user. the PowerAMP skins are all too similar? but like I said before, both same, both have DSP adjustments and relatively beautiful interface =)

I haven't got any update notification so far, but I watched the 2.3 video. The URL feature is a great workaround until Mango allows LazyTube to be set as the default youtube video app. Running under lockscreen is nice as well, even though I'll hardly use it. But LazyTube remembering the actual position of a playing video when returning from standby is very nice.
Again, thanks for your hard work, guys. LazyTube is still the best YouTube app out there. By far.

Ah. So that's why I didn't get any notification. No problem at all. Concerning testing, my offer made on twitter still remains. If you need any help with beta testings or such, here I am *wave, jump*
Honestly, it's great to be in such close contact to developers of apps and see them improving their apps with features users wanted to have. And you guys are some of the few who do an outstanding job there.

you should do that if u look for a URL and there is only one result, it should just go stright to it, so there is one less press.

you should do that if u look for a URL and there is only one result, it should just go stright to it, so there is one less press.

Sadly, this app has stopped working for me. I don't know what has changed, but within the past week or so, I can only run the app four or five times after a soft reboot. After that, it crashes as soon as the Lazyworm apps logo screen appears.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and also tried the trial version of LazyTube, but both do the same thing. If I reboot my phone, I can run the app a few times again, but eventually it starts crashing on startup.
I've also tried installing SuperTube and EasyTube, and they both work fine (though I don't like either as much as the Lazyworm versions).

Try and contact them via Twitter @lazywormapps, Facebook or through the in app email support. They're really helpful and I'm convinced they'll get that sorted out for you.
Thanks, I'll give that a try. But I am concerned that they won't be able to do much, since it sounds like I'm the only person experiencing this problem. I wonder if I have a registry setting that is corrupted somehow, causing the crash.
The puzzling thing is that both of the other YouTube apps work perfectly.

Just get info about system update to version 2.30.405.1
my current version is 2.21.405.7 (android version 2.3.3)
Any one knows what is this update for?
Will I lose root if I update?

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.

It's already been done. If you're looking for a ROM in future, the Android Development section of the forum is your friend.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Wifi will never work on this ROM, because hero and buzz have different wifi chipset. If anyone can get a ICS rom with the BCM Wifi chipset ported I can get wifi to work.
I have not got a full fix for the synaptics softkeys yet, flash the softkey mod if you have a synaptics screen or your softkeys do not work.
SuperUser is included, but it fc's, you need to flash the 3.0.7 efgh zip file from http://androidsu.com/superuser
v4 Download Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13729847/ICS2.zip
Wifi will not work on this ROM
[v4]Partially fixed synaptics touchscreen driver, only softkeys do not work with this ROM and that screen. You need to use the softkeys mod posted below if you want fully functioning softkeys.
[v4]Added IDC file for synaptics touchscreen, should work, if not, I have another one.
[v4]Added superuser binary and app - force closes so you need to download the zip and flash it at the link on the top of this page.
[v3]Switched to full package update, if you are coming from another rom, wipe data, if you are upgrading this rom, just flash.
[v3]Added SuperUser App due to request, seems to be not working, still need to flash the above file.
[v2]Data/3G works, calling does too, and so does texting, not sure about mic so can somebody test from the other end of the call?
[v2]Fixed build.prop with CM7 and original merge so now it picks up your network.
[v2]Swapped existing libhtc_ril.so with the one for the wildfire
[v1]Got touchscreen working and softkeys, but home softkey does not work, not so important though, back, menu and search work.
[v1]Using InfinityPLAY+ kernel with atmel.c hack to enable touchscreen, sources on my github. It says #14 for version number but it is only #10 with tweaks compiled an extra 4 times for testing.
What works:
Touchscreen, this thread helped alot with it, just had to swap and switch a bit with the code because of differences between the MSM8X60 and the MSM722X boards.
What does not work:
Bluetooth, WiFi, some other stuff.
This is just a ROM to play with, arco will bring us the real ICS.
THERE IS NO BOOT.IMG, I USE A ZIMAGE INSTEAD!
PERFORM A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING, THIS ROM IS EXPERIMENTAL!
I will not be held responsible for ANYTHING, thats right, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage done to your device.
Wipe data first, otherwise it will fc on com.android.phone.

Anyway, if I don't post much on this topic that is because I am getting a new phone soon (Xperia Play) and so I don't have credit on my phone (to use data to visit the forum) and so when I am on the computer (after school - yes I am only 15) I will then post updates and stuff.
I will try to visit when possible

Tried it, runs well! Impressive! will try functions now ^^
not working :
Camera
Wi-Fi (same chip than 3G, so probably same driver)
3G (CDMA)
BT (idem as Wi-Fi)
Media files not seen (SD card seenn, storage seen, but no medias on music app or gallery)
No sound
can you add root permission?
JuFlashed, runs succesfully with a MTD. Runs great with no proper ARMv6 intergration and such. Software GL possibly needs work as gallery doesnt load images (guessing thats related). Camera force closes to me, googles worked on hiding the developer side to android with much nicer messages "Camera has sadly closed unexpecetly" compared to "Camera has force closed". Will be waiting for a update to your rom or arcos. You forgot to include market too. Havent attempted to flash gapps yet!
Basically, Its great. Just needs a few fixes for Wi-Fi and Data. Then I'll be using this as a daily driver. You dont need to resize anything. Just possibly some font smoothing here and there.
Off-Topic: If you're buying a xperia play on three. Check out some of their data and text offers! (15 Pounds a month. 3000 Texts. 300 Minuites. Unlimited Internet.) Its what I use with my Wildfire and does exactly what it does on the tin! Plus I get decent speeds for the bad 3G coverage

Next thing to do is include superuser and NoFrills CPU Control.
Also, I think data might be related to a wierd build.prop, because the phone refuses to come out of aeroplane mode.

And when you try to search some network to connect, it say no CDMA antenna

Agreed with the others, runs pretty smooth, just I noticed the keyboard is too big and is cut off so you can't really type properly, and there's a weird orange border that pops up every now and again when I do certain setting tasks...I noticed this using the ARMv7 build on the emulator so I don't think that's device specific. Plus loading the gallery, at first the images show but if you open one it goes black or a coloured square...pinch to zoom works though!
The home key doesn't work as it should but it does do something: when you press it it acts as if you've moved the trackball and highlights the first on-screen object.
Also due to the radio issue it shows CDMA mobile settings despite the fact I've got a GSM version...and setting a different timezone (GMT+2) doesnt work.
Otherwise great stuff!
Lookig forward to updates!
Bugs:
No wifi bt and gps.
Home button dont work.
No signal for calling.
No volume (for music)
Camera force close.
No fm radio. (But that is personol if you add it it will be used everday )
But it runs very good

I've noticed this on some dev builds of android as well as Android-x86. It could be related to the touchscreen driver, or a general graphic bug. I think it could be disabled somehow though.
Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?
The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?
Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..
Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?
