[ROM][Sense 2.2][Dec 06] Sengle 0.7.2

This is a legend port, aiming to be a clean Sense 2.2 release with at least all hardware stuff working. The camera is a tough cookie and for now I can't get it to work. Might find time to continue to work on this in the future, but it will take time if ever.
Native (froyo) app2sd should work for apps which support it. Old school app2sd should work if you have a ext2/3/4 partition.
Default speed is 614/352 (smartass) - use SetCPU or similar app to change this.
Download:
Sengle-0.7.2 (Multiupload)
Sengle-0.7.2 (Desean)
Instructions:
I have flashed this over my old version (Sengle 0.7) and it seems to work fine.
If you have problems which are not in the known issues, you might want to try to do a full wipe (data, cache and ext partition) and install it cleanly.
Note: even if you do not wipe anything the dalvik cache is rebuilt, so the first boot will be very slow - have patience. Additionally, I had one restart of the sense and sound not working on the first boot. It was fixed after the second reboot.
Changes:
- Compcache enabled (should help avoid sense reloading)
- JIT enabled
- Wifi hack cleaned up (no more "error" when disabling wifi)
- RTL fix updated (also fixes Gmail and such now)
- Reboot menu (same one that was optional in 0.7)
- Cleanups by Elelinux for the setup wizard and widgets, as well as the identity of the hero and keypad.
- New install script by Elelinux
Regarding JIT: I have enabled JIT, even though the legend official sense, which this ROM is based on, is not built for sense.
HTC, wakeup! JIT was added in 2.2, and today 2.3 was released....
Anyway let me know if you find any trouble with this.
Known Bugs/Problems:
OpenGL issues
Camera
Wifi hotspot
LWP
Google navigation exits when showing the map, GPS Status exits randomly, Google Sky Map fails to load
Sound with navigation programs (or something like this)
Voice recorder says storage full.
Notification lights problems (I thought I got this one working )
Let me know if you find any further/new major problems (not just another 3rd party which does work)....
Future
For now I have given up on the major problems with this ROM. I will try to find some time to get back to this in the future but I'll be surprised if there is another update any time soon (I have a lot on my plate right now both in hero/android development and in RL).
History
Sengle-0.7 (Multiupload)
Sengle-0.7 (Desean)
Reboot Menu (included in 0.7.2)
RTL Fix (superseded by new fix in 0.7.2)
Compcache enabler (included in 0.7.2)
Thanks
This ROM is based on the MoDaCo r4 release for the legend. It was prepared in collaboration with capychimp and seo, and much of this port is thanks to them . Some cleanups and fixes by Elelinux (also install script ).

Cool dude! Trying it out now!

Oh no.. me second.. anyways will check this out now
Edit:
Flashing took a while but booted just fine.
camera is not working as stated
Wifi connected brilliantly and displayed my network tmobile uk. so looks good
I dont do app2sd so cant comment on that
will try this tommorow and let you guys know
I think Erasmux and Ele should join forces.. you both can do wonders for us poor Hero guys
Keep up the good work and thanks a million !!

I hope I won't regret, not reserving the second post....

I think BT audio is one thing.
What are the big problems with bihariel's froyo sense other than BT audio and camera (which is still broken )?
But do note, this is a completely different build. bihariel's froyo sense is based on the Aria port and this is a legend port....

bihariel's froyo is laggy as hell, and froze all the time when i tried it out, so i hope your work is much better
cuz im using your froyo and thats awesome ROM so i expect this ROM is also gut

How does it work? Is it smooth? Is there problem with caller recognisation as in bihariel's Sense? What about battery?

Sorry have no idea about any of those. For me its slower than the CM6-based ROMs (like floyo) - but what can you do sense is pretty but slow . Too soon for me to know about battery life.
Let me know if you find any problems (except camera) and I'll see if I can do something about it, although my powers are limited because we don't have sources for sense....

Great news !
I will flash it in the morning and report
Good work !

Greetings,
Flashing now to see how it goes,
I have been after 2.2 with sense for some time now but was never sure,
How ever i know you have done some nice work erasmux,
Will report back soon.

Erasmux thank u very much fir this great work. The ROM is really fast. Keep it up..

Have to say Erasmux
On first impressions this is sweet,
No major issues other than the cam,
All else seems to work grand.

thanks for the great work... no major issues so far..
will take it out later and how it performs...

Thanks for the great work! The ROM is really nice!
So far here's what I can see:
- Camera and Wifi hotspot don't work, as you mentioned.
- LWP don't work. Won't even show a preview.
- Google Navigation exits as soon as the map appears.
- GPS Status app (installed from market) exits randomly but sometimes manages to get a fix and keep running
- Much like in the Aria-based ROM there seems to be a problem with the time setting. My region is in DST and when I set the clock to update from the network it keeps changing from DST and back. It seems there is some "fighting" going on where the networks sets the correct DST time zone and something comes along and changes it back to non-DST.
Other than that everything seems fine.
Sensors, keypad backlight, Wifi, calls, 3G data, market, HTC apps and widgets seem to work very well.
Overall it's pretty stable and fast.

The ROM works great except I found after launching several programs, returning to home will see the HTC white screen then restart of Sense home.
btw, the Linpack score is around 2.56 with default CPU clock setting. Is JIT not enabled in Sense 2.2 ROMs?

Thumbs up Erasmux, thanks for this. Slick

Sense (even 2.2) is not compatible with JIT.

Just flashed. No problems and easy setup. Excellent ROM on first impression. Just the camera problem. Very fast, slick and excellent!
Many thnaks for this!

[TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build

Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!​
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install​
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download

Caveat List​​
CDMA users might get a crash in phone.apk and no service on boot. If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, then reboot. Should come up fine...
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from a RAPH100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Please post back any issues, enjoy!
GBX0C Changelog​​
Camcorder: Now works (tested on rhodium).
Acoustic: Bug-fix : correct random loss of dual(rear)-mic.
MMS: Bug-fix: Slides with zero duration on Sprint.
Gps: Bug-fix: Init/de-init sequence fix (correct gps not starting up after being unchecked in Settings).
Gps: Bug-fix: End gps session with a correct rpc call (relevant to amss6125 devices).
Gps: Bug-fix: Don't send delayed position requests after session has ended (possibly relevant to Navigation issues).
Gps: New feature: Xtra (aGPS) -> verified to work on rhodium/cdma raph.
X1 specific: Screen rotation patch.
Added tytung's GPS injector app to AndroidApps\Other as well as updating/cleaning up some apps in AndroidApps.
Modified rootfs for newest apsta firmware & wifi firmware - wifi tethering now works flawlessly in the newest kernels! .27 is still bundled for the record...

Test device: RAPH100 running latest NRG build w/sencity
Using everything supplied in the previous posts above minus my ts-calib file; everything seems to work on my RAPH100 (I'm not sure it matters that it has the orange brand on the back cover). Also, this does include sound! I booted without a SIM (yes, this is a GSM version RAPH). The first time I booted, it rebooted to winmo; second time was the charm.
Additional info(statistical maybe?):
Time to boot animation: 3 minutes
Time from boot animation to home: N/A (after 3 minutes my device rebooted to winmo on first try)
(Second trial)
Time to boot animation: 1 - 1.5 minutes (maybe 2 minutes?)
Time from boot animation to home: S/A (same as above)
*Successful boot to lock screen after second boot* (I wonder should this be expected behavior?)
NOTES: Hard keys "Home" and "left arrow"/back key remain highlighted after activated but deactivate after playing around(for the lack of a better word) and/or screen times out. (My opinion)At the very least it doesn't go crazy like earlier froyo builds. Also note that wifi should be working (works on mine) with this build and kernel package (included with package). (I like)New power off boot menu (long press of power key brings this up while short press seems to turn off screen, as usual). "Silent mode" (as expected), "Airplane mode" (as expected), "Kexec" (not sure yet, seems to be the same as "Reboot" or probably vise versa?), "Reboot" brings you all the way back before boot animation and "Power Off" (as expected).
Still test driving (more to come!)

So reboot didn't work properly?
Let's focus on what's changed. Audio mainly... I do appreciate the report tho .
Kexec is for swapping kernels. This way you can swap kernels and not have to go back to WinMo... Goooogle it .

I ran it for a day, and had no audio problems
only had a few small problems:
it did reboot once
orientation is inverted but i never use auto rotate
market is kinda slow
Edit:
had another reboot during gps app, and i think previous reboot might also have been while gps app was opend
but audio seems to be perfect atm

So I've been in the Windows Mobile for quite sometime, came back and noticed the new Gingerbread Build, and it runs fine thus far... I have two issues, no google maps or facebook (incompatible with this device)? Is this something new, or unique to gingerbread?

Problem Solved...
An update to my previous post... changing the DPI back to 240 in startup.txt has resolved the problem.

I really want to try this, as the FRX build lacked the ability to use Bluetooth. Only problem is, I have no .csv files in my WinMo directory. I am running the Energy Sense ROM 2.5 29017.
What do I do now? Do I really need those files?
EDIT: Never mind. I'm an idiot! But I do only have 5 .csv files.

I have it running now, but I get no audio from the phone. Also, bluetooth pairs but I get no audio from it either.
I have a RAPH800, BTW.

I've also only 5 .csv files in my windows folder:
AudioFilterTable.csv
AudioPara.csv
AudioPara3.csv
AudioPreProcessTable.csv
TIAGC.csv
In the second posting from arrrghhh you will find the *.csv for the RAPH100 in a zip archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20869601&postcount=2 - it contains only 4 .csv files).
I've tested this Release on my RAPH100 and it is running well.
- Phone works
- Audio works
- Wireless works
- Camera works
On my phone, the hardware buttons light up irregularly (without touching or pressing them - see attachement). The result is that the focus on the screen jumps back and forth. This happens at irregular intervals. Has anyone else this problem?

(I think) It's a design flaw by HTC. This has been a long standing bug even without Android (it's just not as apparent in winmo) and unless we can figure out how to either ignore the additional key pressing being picked up by the touchpad sensor or possibly ignore the touchpad altogether, we may just have to "deal" with it as is. However, I think this is starting to get away from the actual intent of the XDAndroid team's intent to find out about noting any audio irregularities with these files. I'm guessing we either need to start posting our csv files or figuring out what the differences in changing the values mean in terms of audio(or perhaps both?). I really haven't had the time to do much testing aside from describing my experience with loading the GB test bundle.

Eh, we really just want to know if there are any dramatic differences in the CSV's between devices - XDAndroid tries really hard to support WAY too many devices .
So this thread is mainly to find out if all our new changes dramatically break any one device. Doesn't seem like it... so the next step is to aggregate all the CSV's together (why I asked everyone to post theirs) and see if we can make a big mix of them, or if we'll have to do it similar to the keyboard layout where each device gets its own folder... then it gets into proper variant detection, etc. Hairy!
But yes, the touch panel issue has ALWAYS been present folks. Let's not rehash old bugs, that doesn't do anyone a darn bit of good. Thanks!!

I haven't heard from this issue before. So it is good to know that.
I've compared your 4 csv files with mine (RAPH 100 - running with Energy ROM 29022) and there is no difference between them.
I've one additional csv file in my windows folder (TIAGC.csv). If you need it I can upload it.

I have a RAPH800 (Sprint) and I was in the process of doing the Pre-install Prep with Total Commander to get the .csv files. However after copying the files to my SD card, I see only 5 files.
AudioFilterTable
AudioFilterTable_Raphael#C
AudioPara3
AudioPara3_Raphael#C
AudioPreProcessTable
I don't see the AudioPara file. Am I doing something wrong? What should I do?
Also I did a Beyond Compare comparison between the files from my phone and the downloaded RAPH100 files and the files are not the same.

Every phone model will probably have different files. You didn't do anything wrong. Just use the files for your device.

Hi guys,

Not really no. Weren't really expecting one either, the only thing that changed was userland. Same kernel (for the most part).

Been running GBX0B 2.3.7 Build on Fuze since the 31st.
I didnt have 10 .csvs, so i just used the his zip. Took me 3 times to get a stable build, they kept self destructing.
Sound: Perfect
Gps: Faster than FRX07.1, when it worked. I justed stop using it
Data: Only used Wifi, works fine
I have a sim in the Fuze, but i have no service.
FRX07.1 would drain my battery over night even plugged in to the wall. GBX0B 2.3.7 fixed that.
I get alot longer battery life. I got maybe 5 (est) hours with FRX07.1, 8 - 10 (est) hours GBX0B 2.3.7
This is the BEST android build for fuze (and i have tried them all).
Smoother, little faster. GPS works alot better. I think we finally got a build we can run full time

Honestly the battery shouldn't be different at all. The kernel didn't change much at all in the battery saving or sucking department.
As always, if you use the device a lot - and use a lot of the hardware (GPS, wifi, etc) it will suck your battery dry.

OKP milestone 6 on HTC Wildfire (Buzz) - gps/radio problem

Hey guys... I flshed OKP milestone 6 on my Wildfire, and i have to say that it wotrks pretty fine, considering Wildifre is a low-end phone, there are a few glitches, but most of it works. So far i noticed that stock camera and allery apps do not work (as mentioned in some thread here). i simply replaced the stock apps with some custom ones from the market. but....
GPS also does not work. and i can't fix it. i followed these instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574504 But i still can't make a gps fix. I tried installing Gps status as a monitoring app, and left it for an hour or so, but it still didn't make a fix. i use Copilot for navigation, and all it says that it found a gps signal, but can't make a fix....
Please, i really need GPS, and i usuall use it extensively... can any body help in any way?

Yeh, i know. i had this problem on both CM6 and CM7 i used to have before AOKP. usually, flashing radio with a downloaded zip file helped, but now for some reason, clockwork does not allow me to flash radio, and i don't know why
EDIT: i will try both of the suggestions above mentioned in a few hours, got to go outsinde now, have some work to do, and will let you both know how did it go...

hey, i just tried that tutorial (method 2 from the instructions), using no-ssl patch. i had to copy/paste the files using root explorer because clockworkmod aborted the instalation of both of these two files (anybody knows why?)
anyway, my phone is currently outside, on the balcony, and has been there for about 10 minutes, but Copilot still can't find fix... Also, it may be of importance, although gps is turned on, i do not see the gps icon in the notification bar...
any other ideas?
EDIT: So far i tried the tutorial i used to flash radio when on CM (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/35540-gps-does-not-work-with-any-cyanogen/), but it still wont work. however i had to downgrade clockworkmod via rom manager, and that might be a problem, since, after a restart, clockwork reverts to a newer version, so, the flash of radio might have not occured at all..
Guys, help! puuhh-leeese!

You know all the information you need is here, Google is your friend.......
This is a very common bug that has happened to just about every cm user and i'd say there a hundreds of threads about it.
Downgrade to the 19.25 radio, reboot and then upgrade to the 20.10 again and the gps should work...
If it doesn't the alternative method is take a backup and flash a sense based Rom, turn on gps open g maps and wait for a fix. Give it a few minutes to get a good position. Then boot into recovery and restore your backup or do a fresh install. Fresh install is best imo....
The reason cwm reverts back is because the old version you flashed is temporary, its not broken and did work as it should.
The agps patch is not a fix for a broken radio but more a change in how and where the gps information comes from.

additionally to scratch's answer and suggestions I'd like to mention that sometimes it's mandatory to follow the suggested solutions with a good portion of accuracy (unless you buy 3 or 4 Android books and try to get a few years experience) - so have you also tried a 3rd radio as suggested in the CM forum or did you just try the 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25? What radio did you have before you tried to solve the prob? (just in case... could also be possible that you already had the older one, flashing just the same radio most likely won't help).

to answer some of the previous quedtions - i do not know what radio version was before i started meddling with it, and now it probably doeen't matter, because i tried several different flashes, methods etc coming from various sources.
although, i have to correct myself - the last method (the one with fixing the radio after flashing CM) DID work. it seems that the temporary downgrade of clockwork worked, and i managed to flash radio with the 3.35.19.25 version. i know it because it was the last thing i did yesterday before i gave up and went to sleep. the gps does make a fix with it! the first thing i noticed is the gps icon in the notification bar, and the second was, of course, the fix itself and finding the satellites. guess i was just too tired yesterday to figure that out. and maybe i wasn't exactly at the good spot to make a fix.
so, anyways, it works now, and thank you all for the help and suggestions!
EDIT: however, i do have another question.... i noticed that when my phone is locked and not in use, when sb calls me, the phone lags heavily: the ringtone starts to play, and i have to press the off button, unlock the phone, and then get the option on the screen to answer the phone, and after i chose to answer, the ringtone continues to play for a 2-3 seconds until the call is truly established.... it happened to me on CM 6 and 7, but not to this extent. this is truly slow and painstaking, and we're speaking about the very basic function of a phone. is there any way to fix that or speed that up?

What performance settings do you have? (overclocked?, governor?) - if you didn't tweak anything you probably should have a good read(s) here in the forums what settings others use etc.
Each Wildfire is a bit individual regarding performance (plus it depends heavily on the apps you use, active services etc.). I've rooted my Willy explicitely for the reason to get control over that.
It depends on you how fast and responsive your phone will be as you have total control over everything
For unlocking on calls explicitely: I have a min CPU setting of 264MHz which works reliable but as mentioned above YMMV.

set the processor to have min CPU 352 MHz and max CPU 768 MHz. the scaling governor is set to interactive, i even installed the v6 supercharger script from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940 so that i don't have to deal with app killers from google play that never really proved their worth.... as for active services (is that the running apps from the apps manager?), i have facebook, go weather (just the widget), clock, dsp manager and android keyboard. total of 7 processes and 9 services... what do you make of that?
p.s. wouldn't a smaller min CPU setting mean a grater possibility of a phone lag?
EDIT (i always seem to edit my posts ): i got an idea to browse to /system/app, and to delete some apps that i think i might not need in hope that that might speed up my phone. however there are some that i don't now if i should delete them. so here's the list of those and please tell me if there is soem app that i shouldn't delete:
AOKtips.apk - i suppose that this is the introductory tips on controling the rom and launcher. i don't think i need this
Apollo.apk - this is stock music player. i use another one
ApplicationsProvider.apk - ??? do i need it?
Broser.apk i use opera next mini an it's much faster
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk - chrome bookmarks sync? i don't sync my bookmarks, neither do i use chrome on my phone
DownloadProvider.apk
DownloadProviderUI.apk - is this one, and the one before that used for OS update? if so, i might not need them because, i usually don't update system, i am prone to make a full wipe in clockwork and install a fresh, updated system
DSPManager.apk - ??? do i need it?
Email.apk - generic email app, i use gmail, and if not, i would rather enter an address and log into via opera
Exchange.apk - ???? don't know what this one is, but it has the same icon as Email.apk
GalleryGoogle.apk - it has the same icon as stock gallery, which doesn't work anyways, and i use an other app for that
GenieWidget.apk - this looks to be a news widget, and i don't really need it
GoogleFeedback.apk - ??? do i need it?
GooglePartnerSetup.apk - ??? do i need it?
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk - is this the search widget that appears in the upper part of the screen? if so, i don't need it, i disabled it anyways since it takes away precious screen space
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk - live wallpaper? don't need it
KeyChain.apk - ??? do i need it?
Launcher2.apk - don't now if i need it if i have nova launcher that comes with the rom?
SetupWizard.apk - ??? do i need it?
UserDictiponaryProvider.apk - is this for predictive text when typing? if so, i don't use predictive text nor anything similar. i type my own texts
VoiceDialer.apk - don't use it
VoiceSearch.apk - don't use it
VpnDialogs.apk - ??? do i need it?
WAPPushManager.apk - ??? do i need it?
would removing these or only part of these speed up the phone? especially when receiving calls, since this seems to be the time when the phone lags the most....
sorry guys for such a long post, and i know that it would take time to read all this, but bear with me, please, my knowledge about android is quite superficial, i still think i know only the basics, and what i've picked up from other people and from googling

doesn't look you have some memory wasters there (besides Facebook lol - nags me every day). I've dropped V6 for several reasons (too long to explain here and now) and use an app from the playstore (autostarts) to find out and cut automatic startups (one of the few apps to be worth to pay for, if you're used to compile you can get it on Github, too - open source).

yes, but like I said: min 264MHz works fine for me most of the time. Plus I'm using setCPU to explicitly set the screen off value.

unfortunately you have to do some work yourself :silly: because I'm either short on time and - even more important - it's not always yes or no if you can delete it (depends on your setup, prefs and likes) - but you could read the approximately 20-30 posts from here in the LeWa thread where slymobi and me are discussing almost all CM7 system apps (including our keep/delete lists)
My personal major finding was AutoKiller Memory Optimizer (which you might know from the V6 thread). In fact I knew about the app for a long time but always missed testing it. When I did my phone already felt fast and snappy - no lags at all - but that really gave it a remarkable additional boost... (in your case most settings are done by V6 Supercharger - but to be honest I never had the same feeling with that script - but: ymmv).

i just uninstalled v6 supercharger and removed some of the system apps by taking a look at the links you've provided me, and as well as taking a look at tables and lists from these links: http://www.vmroms.com/index.php?topic=35.0 and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones....
right after root explorer finished with moving the apps from /system/app/ (i moved the apps to sd-card for backup), the system restarted automatically, and i got the AOKP flash animation. i nearly **** my pants, as i thought "that's it, broke my phone" , but, once the system got up again, the difference is amazing!! the phone literary flashes through menus and options etc... i will try out autokiller memory optimizer and autostarts to see if i can squeeze some more perfomance.
will update you on the results, as for now i still didn't receive any calls, so i can't comment on that.
oh, and, p.s. the apps that i removed from /system/app/ are:
AOKTips.apk
Apollo.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk
Browser.apk
Camera.apk
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
DSPManager.apk
Email.apk
Exchange.apk
GalleryGoogle.apk
GenieWidget.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk.
Launcher2.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
MagicSmokeWallpaper.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
PicoTts.apk
UnicornPorn.apk
UserDictionaryProvider.apk
VideoEditor.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
VoiceSearch.apk
VpnDialogs.apk
and just for the fun of it, i downloaded latest stable cm7 rom and extracted camera.apk and gallery.apk from it, and pasted it into /system/app/ since, well the stock camera and gallery in AOKP m6 don't work, but, after a restart, the phone didn't show them at all, does anybody know why is that? these apps worked quite fine on CM 7, i thought they might work here as well
and BTW, i still can't figure out how do i make an incoming phone cal wake up my phone?when sb calls me i can hear the ringtone, but the screen if off and i have to press the on/off key, unlock the phone and only THEN i get the option to answer/reject the call. it's an idiotic glitch that i can't seem to solve....

about AOKP 4.1.2 JB

hi @all
i'm new to all this stuff.
i still own a Gio but would get a better performance. so i looked arround and found this site. i got the AOKP rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075310 and it works great. only two little things are not working correctly. after a few minutes my wifi is disconnected. and i can't connect again unless i reboot the phone. and bluetooth isn't working.
may be some of u know how to fix it? would be great.
btw: it's an amazing work u all do here.

That stuff is probably the drivers fault, but have u tested to change the Wifi Scan Interval? That can be done with the Pimp My Rom app.

Please, change your rom, because aokp haven't completed for now and still have more bugs. You can use gingerbread based rom or cm 10.1(fully working JB rom)

[Q] Best GPS Wildfire S Roms

Hi,
Since I've installed my first (and only) rom (iH8ra!n's CM10) last Christmas, although it's every bit better than stock, the last few months I've realised how good the GPS works in the stock rom. GPS barely works for me any more. I have tried a few fixes with no luck.
So what are the best GPS roms to try for the Wildfire S?
Thanks

speeding up gps

if you need stock roms you can try my stock roms..check my signature and about gps.
use fasterfix from playstore and set your location and gps will lock more faster.(mostly default ntp servers are north america and all locations so it take time to fix on location so with this app you can change your gps.conf file and gps will locked faster)
good luck:good:

I can't believe I didn't find fasterfix earlier after all the googling I've done. GPS about as quick as my Nexus 7 now. I did try messing with gps.conf after I found some guides on here but I didn't do it right or they didn't work.
Thanks crossfire77!
