Hi all,
I don't need to introduce myself, so I just thought I'd start a thread regarding a query I have.
I'm working on a new build very very shortly - which will be a Vanilla build hopefully based entirely from Villain4.0 Beta 2.
Anyway. The question is regarding live wallpapers.
For those of you who use/have used an AOSP rom, please could you tell me every live wallpaper which worked correctly?
Also... every one which caused the phone to soft reset?
Thank you in advance,
NPR
I have tried all available AOSP roms with live wallpapers and to be honnest ckdroid was probably the best,due to the fact that all live wallpapers i tried do actually run but then once you perform a lock / unlock cycle it simply reffers back to stock wallpaper which the exception of less 3D intensive wallpapers such as the one with circles of colour and the bouncy balls one ? sorry cant remember the names.
Maybe a Power Issue or CPU becuase ive heard several people say if you have USB plugged in they stay on ?
I would love to have working live wallpapers on my hero and have even started my own thread regarding them not working but nothing it seems people say they dont work on hero yet G1 and Magic has them and the upcoming open eclair has them working 100% apparently ! which annoys me because the hero is superior to both in terms of specs ?
I plan on spending a bit of time on trying to make them work. Maybe not immediately, but soon.

We're having this issue with the Eris too. It seems any wallpaper that uses OpenGL and RenderScript will crash when the phone sleeps when it's not plugged in. Others that don't use RenderScript work perfectly fine. The only one in LiveWallpapers.apk that works completely is the Polar Clock I believe. Other 3rd party ones such as Bezier and Duck Hunt work fine as well.
OP, If you fix this issue Eris users as well will thank you. It's had us stumped.
I found aHero to be the best vanilla, its got a working 5MP
In terms of live wallpapers the nexus MOD wallpaper worked quiet well except the problem with it disabling when you lock the screen or screen times out. Shame really because it was running find behind everything and not really lagging at all.

Where did you get the wallpaper from? If you have it as an .apk file then you need to use an app installer program, root explorer does this or just search the market for 'app installer'.
If its installed, its a case of pressing the menu button on the homescreen and selecting wallpaper>live wallpapers and it should be in the list.
maybe you should collaborate with the guy who made this rom posted yesterday
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651103
I have to say i flashed this last night,the rom has bugs that have been fixed in other roms so with a combanation of bug fixes ect this could be the one !
I have to say besides the bugs this is the best AOSP rom i have tried so far in terms of live wallpapers it seems even after sleep lock /un-lock cycle a lot of the live wallpapers work !
Working:
"digital Rain" Duck Hunt" "green" "water" "bezier" "Bokeh Rainbow" "grass" "living Colours" "LED scroller"
Not working:
"NexusMod" "EarthRot" "Galaxy" "Nexus" "Tea Garden"
Still testing others but deffinatley the best functionality so far !
Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

Lets put our minds together and see what we can do guys! Btw this was inspired by Rodderik's thread [SPRINT][CDMA]Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread (CWM, EF17 TAR), so if youre interested in this, you might like his thread too!
Current Workarounds/Temporary Fixes:
Letters correspond to the bugs listed in the OP.
A)
Ssserpentine:
1) Open up Dev Tools
2) Go to Development Settings
3) StrictMode Visual Indicator - turn it off
4) back out of app and now open it again.
5) If this doesn't get rid of MOST of the red borders, REBOOT and open app again.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!
-------------------------
And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Are the bugs the same? Or are there others that I havent mentioned? I will try to make a section for both tabs if theres different bugs in each one.
Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.
--Mike
What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

Not really was slow on boot but no major problems
D) SD Card Does Not Mount
Confirmed
Solution: Haven't tested fix yet
E) Youtube app does not work

Solution: Confirmed
F) Orientation Sensor is not functional
Confirmed
Solution: "Rotating Screen" flips screen incorrectly so that capacitive buttons are on the top of the device
G) Honeycomb thinks Device Keyboard is enabled by default

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant
Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well
First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?
I just installed Weather Bug Elite and I notcied that the notifications it brings up are different from all the other notifications in ICS. Does anyone else get this or know how to change it?

Yeah, good luck getting them to update it. For a relatively expensive app I'm disappointed that the UI is still based on 2009...
Very poor development and updates, give them 1 star on the market I say!

Seriously... I am a back end/mid tier developer and I write better UIs that those guys... That is scary
Well that sucks. Hopefully with ICS out they'll decide to do a little updating.
Hey guys
A lot of you seem to have little issues with the HTC One X so I decided to make a thread where we can gather all those issues to find out if you are alone or not. Which is important to know if the problem is related to your specific device or rather some software issue.
Bugs
Screen stops turning orientation, even in settings menu G-sensor no longer moves. - POSSIBLE FIX : Go to taskmanager and kill all tasks - All credit and thanks go to casca
Calendar widget crashes if more then 20 appointments - TIP : Just remove the widget since it will keep crashing until you remove it...
Other HTC widgets seem to be causing lag too.
GPU Rendering can't be forced.
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens
GPS issues - Possible fix : Download gps status on the market and clear the a-gps data - if this works all credit and thanks go to matmar
Screen starts "jumping"
When browsing/camera/other Sense 4.0 related tasks -> It looks like there is "noise" on the screen. Like this
SIM card stops working/restarts/no connection
The three dot menu button appears in some ICS native apps, like the YouTube app for example. - Fix for this in Dev section (requires unlock)
Tegra 3 games (and some others) lag, this is probably connect to some video driver bug. (Hardware is fast enouf to play it without lag)
Screen reactivating after using the lock-button (only 1 click ofc)
When opening the Clock app (just by pressing the clock on your homescreen), and moving to the Timer-tab (the one on the far right) it always adds one hour, one minute and one second to whatever time you set it to.
Issues
Lag in Multi-Tasking window and other elements - TIP : Go to Dev Settings - disable animations. This improved the speed a lot for me (even thou most animations keep on running, only the excessive ones get turned off) [This lag is clearly a software issue, other launchers are lag-free; should be fixed soon]
A lot of people are reporting signal problems. (No clue what's causing it)
Yellow spots on the screen
Always try to Factory Reset your device if you have a problem. Most of the time this fixes it. (Last resort)
Post your bugs and issues and if they get posted frequently I'll add them to the list.
Note to people who are planning on buying an HTC One X :
The device is still a great piece of technology, every software has bugs in it at the start! Don't get dissapointed because there are some minor glitches in the software, most of them will be fixed within 7 days from now (Update).
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens

Can't turn on GPU 2D Rendering.
Can't turn on Animation once unchecked.
heating issues..? over heating of device, turning off sim/phone services after certain temperature, not letting charge, etc... many guys complained about this.. very sad...
When i use the power button to turn off the screen it occasionaly turns on to the lockscreen after 0.5 seconds; Not always, normally when the screen was on for a longer time.
Glitches all over the place...
backlight not stable on light grey picture. (With my device i noticed it when i searched a grey pic on google, and zoomed in, the backlight flickered 1 second to "settle" after that it was good). On full birghtness i didn't had the probleme.
I am not satisfied with that phone.
It is not fast and laggy sometimes.
Multitasking button is not responding a lot.
When open some apps with black background, the resolution of the black color background sucks and shows blurry lines. It appears when adding gmail account.
I tried talking Tom and i found that it is working slower than in sensation and lags a lot.
I hate sense and i like to see AOSP Rom soon.

I'm glad I didn't buy this phone yet. Every day that goes by, I want this phone less and less seriously. I think I'm gonna wait for the Galaxy SIII. I'm sure I won't be disappointed with it. I refuse to spend money on a high end phone to see many glitches and lag at launch, even if it is fixable with ROMs and kernels, you shouldn't have to do that . Come one HTC

I'm not sure
HTC better not play any silly games with these OTA and keep pushing the date back, this dire battery life isn't fit for purpose right now.

Yes you have be be glad because u didn't buy it.
Sense 4.0 really looks ugly except the clock and it also consumes the battery life.
The dialer also looks very bad.
Why does HTC love this old green color over the awesome blue one released as default by google?
I hear what you guys are saying. The only issue i've seen that really concerns me is this glitching i keep reading about. Although I did see a review from netbooknews.de that had this issue with noticeable lag in the multitasking button and screen taps.
I would love to say that you don't have to worry about it but the reality is that you probably won't see a fix till CM9 is released or some other AOSP build.

Instead of slating it immediately, how about trying to use it as stock/unrooted, like the way you received it. Your sig says you've already rooted and flashed a different ROM - how do you know it's not the alternative ROM giving the grief.

Sadly this isn't the problem in most of the cases. Until now only Sense 3.0 costum roms are available, the issue is however that all this roms are BASED on the stock rom (because devs don't have acces to scource code of Sense 3.0).
A lot of issues you experience in the costum roms are caused by bugs in the code of Sense. But this isn't always the case ofcourse! Let's hope HTC fixes them soon.
I agree that this phone isn't as snappy as I had hoped, its much the same as running sense 4.0 on my sensation.
That said, I got the DHD on release, and there were plenty of bugs, same with the sensation.
In the end, the hardware is top notch, the software will get sorted over time. It's the price we pay for being early adopters of a new model.

I lol'd... Well just go buy your sgs3 or whatever then. Why did you choose this fone? Had you not experienced sense 4.0 in your previous fone? Maybe you hadn't rooted that one, who knows. Or maybe, just like my wife, your not happy unless you got somethin to ***** about.
Sent from my rooted HTC Desire S which was buggy and had a crap battery when i first got it but i was expecting that even though i'm not very techy using XDA
Amen to the above.
One more thing: the annoying menu button also appears on some native ICS apps, like the YouTube app...

I found that my wallpaper suddenly became unscrollable after back to sense 4+ from apex launcher. I had just upgraded to android 4.1 last two days.

this is absurd i like rosie and i cant even use my LWP
Dang... Someone needs to get a mod for that.. I really liked the scrolling wallpaper effect..
Not only did it look awesome, it allowed us to have a high quality wallpaper and see everything that was on it...
I too just found out that I no longer has scrolling wallpaper. Is it me or is someone from HTC making retarded choices for their updates. If you have a functionality such as wallpaper scrolling, you cannot take it away when you update the firmaware...I did not buy something and have it taken away in the upgrade.
It should not require someone to do a hack to get that function back. I don't have an iPhone because I know what it can and what it cannot do...
HTC, you need to listen to your users.
I agree with you. That really sucks.
I'm hoping there come a rosie mod for it soon.
Thanks a lot fu**ing HTC.
I installed official JB update and for a few days bg scrolling was working normally then out*off nothing it stopped. Any solution?
You could try using Go Launcher, or any of the other launchers on the market, they will give you the scrolling WP. Unless if you're like me and you like Sense, then alas we're stuck with it
Anyone know if there is a mod for this yet for Sense? I haven't seen anything yet and would really love the scrolling WP back.

I think we just need to go back to GB for the scrolling WP...and any other i might add, like bouncing effect...in every update HTC made, it will get simpler and lesser in graphic...just more software but no theme....

I think you mean ICS and I can't believe htc would make such a stupid decision like this. Oh wait, yes I can. This is why custom roms were created.
yap, it sucks.
