What about those kernel tweaks?
I thought its not entirely possible without kernel sources.
Whats the difference in speed compared to Lee's or Mike's release?

You can tweak existing kernel parameters via sysctl which I have done.
So far I have find my rom more stable and smooth.
I will be requiring your feedback too in this regard.

Good to see another ROM to help the development

Didnt Mike and Lee do the same then?
Anyways, will give it a shot Always good to have more devs (and therefore different tweak setups) on board !

Well there are few more things that I have done.
Firstly I have changed the IO scheduler to NOOP.
Secondly I have set different task manager settings when the screen is on and off. i.e when the screen is off the settings are aggressive, while the screen is on they are average. This gives your device a smoother feeling (The script is based on FlooHimself screen state scaling tweak).
Thirdly I have played with priorities of some processes (This script was used by NeoPhyTe in the Desire forum). It does gives your device some edge.
Anyways as soon as the uploading is complete, you can play with the ROM and report back.

well, i haven't tested it on this release but noop should give you slightly worse overall results than deadline. i didn't checked but i assume deadline is default on this kernel.

Exchange sync!
Is the exchange sync still a problem with this?

Tested noop my self, deadline gives better results
Task managers are useless anyway, the low memory killer default settings are spot on, further adjustments may cause instabilities.

Hotmail Exchange Sync
Hi,
can you tell me, if Hotmail Exchange Sync is working
on this ROM? With others Stock Sense 2.16 ROMs
were issues by Hotmail Inbox (Exchange Sync)

Apoligies I was mentioning you. Updated in the main post.

As i can see,all cookers have given up for a few days updates for this ginger's leak.I think that this one leak is not so good as we thought ...I have tested all 2.3 sense roms here and i decided to come back to 2.2...A lot of issuεs which are important for each day use...
Hope u have found the answre's for the problems but i believe that we must wait for another leak...
Btw welcome and wish u to enjoy our company...

Runnymede S v3.1 (OR) Endymion V1.1

Hey guys,
I'm wondering what ROM is better, Runnymede or Endymion, what gives you better performance and battery life, which one is smoother?
Thanks

Endymion 1.1 much better for me

Endymion is the superior rom.
You dont need overclocking with this one even for demanding performance. While with other sense 3.5 roms out there overclocking is an absolute essential even for something like a lag free rosie... There goes battery life out the window.
Anyway, what kind of battery do you expect with 2 ghz oc ? Plus there are known kernel problems there.
Also how long would you expect to keep your phone alive keeping it overclocked like that...?
There is nothing out there with sense 3.5 that is even remotely in Endymion's league.
However, I do acknowledge that opinions are always subjective and everybody is entitled to their own.
So I'd suggest you flash both roms and try them out for yourself.
Firstly, you will get a first hand picture of which one is better...
And secondly it doesn't cost you anything except some time...
Which again is the least you can put in to try out two of the best 3.5 roms for your phone designed by Devs using their valuable time and yet offered to you absolutely free of charge.!
Hope this helped. Cheers.

I'm sorry but IMO the ability to OC to a higher degree isn't a benefit, OC your simply means burning more battery and simply shorten battery life. Anything over 1.5Ghz has been demonstrated and discussed many times to be dangerous for any prolonged periods unless you are intending to use your device as a form of central heating.
Using Nandroid Backup you should be able to install and run both ROMS alongside one another as well as keep the ROM that you're currently on all in case you choose to return to that....if you do please post back your findings and comparisons.

Has established Endymion 1.1? But sound improvement (Beats) does not work. How to treat? Excuse for my English.

I've only tested Endymion 1.1 for 2 days now and i'ts really good.
I've O/C my phone @ 1228mhz via SetCpu and it's very fluid and fairly battery eating.
I can't do anything but advise you this rom, very good stuff for me, but i don't have anything to compare on this device...

Irrelevent point, I'm running the HTC stock kernel with no overclocking (with some extensive priortising of non launcher applications), and I'm experiencing no lag what so ever. (Proxuser's Runnymede S)

better kernel support and its very stable.

Using runnymede with stock kernel no lags but battery drains :\

Runnymede is perfect for me. Speedy without OC, but I did it anyway. No bugs and battery last 2-3 hours longer than my stock 2.3 with Sense 2.1.
Regards,
Crwblyth

Runnymede better u can trust it

Thanks all for ALL the information,, REALLY helpful!!
but i think i'll stick to Runny,, and now they are updating to v3.2 and it has some good tweaks!
Change-log in Runny v3.2:
✔ new base 1.05.401.4
✔ Fixed Honeycomb lockscreen text bug
✔ Tweaks - Volume Key Screen On
✔ Tweaks - 5x5 Appdrawer
✔ Tweaks - Hide Navbar Text
✔ Tweaks - Volume Key Camera Shutter Button
✔ Fixed distortion for HTC videoplayer 720p playback
✔ rom manager support

Hi I've a question. Do I need the latest h boot to run endymion or runnymede? When I ran proxuser's ota 2.3.5 rom I kept getting bootloops. Or is this due to the hyperion kernel?
Btw I'm on revolution h boot s-off.

[Q] Which is the best firmware for S5670

Dear Friends,
For those who love visiting the Development section of this forum, you would notice that there are many firmwares available. Also these firmwares have corresponding Custom Roms made by our great developers.
Therefore i would like to ask, which is the most fast, stable and battery effecient firmware for our phone ...
In other words , which firmware, truely Fits the Fit ????

Well,,,,i feel that the de-odexed KPL (2.3.4) firmware with FITDroidv2.0 custom Rom ......both of them are by VISHWANATH PATIL!...i am using it and its supercool,fast,energy efficient and super stable!

if you want official firmware go for Gingerbread DDKQ5
and
if you want custom firmware go for Fitdroid it is very fast than official firmware. and it supports darktremor app2sd which completly moves all apps to SD
and saves a lot of internal memory space;-)

Thanks Vaibhav,
Have seen the post of the entire rom containing darktremor app2sd bundled with the Custom Rom. Could u pls tell me if we move the apps that are actually meant to be on the phone memory, will it affect their working or performance??

KK
I flashed the deodexed XXKPL firmware, FitDroid, Blue Steel theme in the same order.............I must say it is working perfectly and just one bug I feel is that the music player force closes when opened

No even if you move apps from phone memory to sdcard you won't se any performance issues

If you want to save some battery life
try using JuicedDefender it saves a little bit of battery
or use SETCPU and select profile which is best for you

Pratyush creed's rom v1.0
I tested all most all the roms and i found creed's rom v 1.0 is the best for me.
Ram utilization is very low when phone is idle and so the battery performance is better.
Speed is much better than other roms
check the details in development section

cyanogen 7
cyanogen mod 7 n the overcock kernel are the best combo

curious...
Aren't there bugs on cyanogen7? and how about the overclock kernel? are there any negative effects on Fit?

No there not many bugs in cyanogenmod 7.1.0
the only bugs that i hate its
1.FM does not work even if e use spirit fm app
2.USB tethering does not works
But it can be fixed using weird tether app
And the 801 mhz kernel its little unstable
I faced random reboot issues
So I'm using 763 mhz kernel its stable
And it don't have any issues

well, what if i want to use FM? as i have a favorite radio show in the morning, is there an alternative or fix for this?
How about the battery consumption if i have OC? Will OC have any effects on the processor of Fit?
sorry for having too many questions...

According to my test spirit fm radio doesnot work so tgere is no alternative of it till now
Secondly battery consumption depend on how much do you overclock your processor for eg 700mhz will consume less battery then 800 mhz overclck produces more heat and strain on processor so it can damage your processor over overclock your procesor than stable overclocking

hmm....dont have an alternative for fm...but as far as oc is concerned i too want it to be ported to FitDroid..and dont worry its in progress!...and we'll get it soon....battery backup will definitely be an issue ...i use overclock only while playing games..and i get a nice battery backup!
galaxy fit + CM7.1 (2.3.7) + 801Mhz

I definitely know that there will be an issue with battery consumption which is quite acceptable... but with regards the OC itself, let me compare it to a regular desktop PC...
Say i did overclock my processor, there are definitely a possibility to fry the board or make it overheat, can the same thing happen here?

No i don't see any heating issues,
After OC if you properly configure setcpu
according to your use then battery life is not a big issue
And try internet radio apps such as spotify
or Pandora instead of spirit fm app

razodroid v2.3
razodroid v2.3 is the best which also has a oc kernel file which supports upto 801mhz and its very stable....+it has darktremour app2sd app so not problems of low internal memory...and it comes with a cyan coloured appearance which is also cool...the battery stays alive upto 2 days for normal use...the only dwarback is that when we change the dpi of the phone...the music app FCs...but dats ok.....

just wait for razodroid v4.0

RazoDroid 4.0 is the best (ADRENALINE SCRIPT)
Highly recommended, speedy,battery efficient, and a very good UI

GTA3

Guys do any of you know why my Desire S Hangs while running GTA3 for like 5 mins while MED settings, and hangs after few seconds on max settings . It looks like something to do with RAM as if its getting full faster or slower, but it would be nice to be able to play it without hangs :laugh:
BTW i am new to this devise and For the monent i am running official MIUI V4 (newest version) with Tweaked3_7.1-MIUI_StockICS KERNEL at 1400OC-smartass v2-bfq (second day with this phone so its my first setup (hit me to the head if its faulty))

No worries, looking at your posts you are progressing very fast
smartassV2 is designed for battery saving so do not rely on it for performance. Set ondemand/deadline and smash that game
Do not cry for the battery though

THX for advise . But at these settings it hangs 2 seconds after spawning in-game on med settings, maybe its something to do with freq. of cpu? What is supposed to be most stable FREQ. OC? I am using 1401Mhz maybe its not stable

I just tried lowering FREQ it still hangs.....
I dont think that Miui being bad choise for gaming is cousing this, becouse until it hangs game is running smoothly. And HANGS means it stops on that frame and phone is nolonger responsive until i remove battery and start again

Do not pull battery you may end with new bricked DS. Have you undervolted?

Yeah its probably game related so i will try to delete all game data and download it again, this game data is from my old phone's SD card maybe files will be different in some way(anyway we will see).
Thanks for help man :good: + rep for you. And by the way I figure you have a lot more experiance with roms than i do :
What would be build (ROM+kernel) that you would recommend me to try next? I dont need real gaming rom i just sometimes have few extra minutes in work or in college that i need to spend somehow and gaming is a good way. What i would like is overall average perfomance 50%battery -50%perfomance or something similar if possible

[Q] Someone using MIUI JB on DS?

Hello,
my Question: Is Someone using MIUI JB on DS? How about the battery life, stabilty and speed?
Sorry for my bad english

Hey!
I have used MIUI JB rom for a week! it's absolutly a very fast rom!
But i had the following issues:
Camera works 100% only on first boot some problems but after using it more than 3 times the issue is gone!
The battery life is terrible.after 8-9 hours sleep the battery drains about 25%! And on normal use it drains after like 2 - 3 hours!
3D games lag sometimes here and there! Temple run works fine and smooth!
And the best about this rom it's stunning fast! i compared the boottime between the iphone 4s (dual core) vs Htc desire s (one core)
Desire s was about 1 second slower. and against the iphone 4 12 seconds faster boot time!
I think you should try the rom first! maybe it works better on you're device if you'r lucky !

Actually the battery life is the most important for me
Which version do you use?

I use ICE DS v.6.0 Rom. It's a stock Htc Sense 3.6 with android version 4.0.4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
The rom is very Stable! i never had issues with this rom!
Battery is very good! i don't know how much it drains by night!
But after 7 hours studying in school! i looked at my phone and it just drained 4% . didn't use it!
But if you use it the battery drains pretty slow . It has actually a great battery life!
Gaming performance is good! i tested today the new Need For Speed Most Wanted. and it was Lag Free!
No camera issues! It's a very good rom voor daily usage/gaming/long battery life!
No Bugs/Freezes found so far!
This is probably the best rom i have and found so far!
I hope i gave you some good information!

are u sure about this??

i have used it for close to a month, but i wasnt very happy with it, though boot times are faster than stock, i found that it has its share of hiccups, i didnt like how the camera functioned, there was a bluish tinge to the photographs, some apps had a lot of lag and games particularly werent very smooth. also the gps didnt work at all so couldnt use the maps, which for me was a big let down as i use maps a lot. i think flashing a custom rom is overrated, unless u r a developer i think its pointless, i am happier with sense 3.6 and ics 4.03 stock rom of htc
the only reason i would ever root my phone again would be if i could find a pure stock android experience otherwise i wouldnt.

Pure stock android? You mean like cyanogenmod, aokp etc.? I'm running flinny's (andromadus) latest CM10 build, and find it extremely stable and far faster than anything with sense. And it's fully working, now the front cam is fixed.

i tried cm7.2 stable build and didnt really like it... cm9 and cm10 for desire s not available as yet, and i dont want to flash a nightly or experimental rom, im not a developer, im a noob,

I think the best rom that have good battery life is based on usage and configure of owner. I set some cpu governor, limited use 3G and have a battery life about 2 days.
ah, my rom is JellyTime.

I tried official MIUI V4 2.11.5 (ICS) i guess from the miui.com but got force close after installation. The site told that i need to S-OFF my phone is that true?

Unless you think that they are likely to be lying just for the fun of it, it is always best to follow any Devs guidelines when it comes to installing ROMs.

The problem is. I'm already at hboot 2.2x lolz and I don't know how exactly to downgrade and s-off. I read some thread that told me to downgrade using RUU. But dunno it will work or no. Also my device ia S510e Is that any difference with common desire s?
