[FIX] Smoothness on RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs

Some people have been asking me why my Inspire ROM based on RUU 2.36.405.8 feels smoother than other ROMs using this base (when scrolling through home screens in particular). I again thought I should share with the community to improve all Desire HD ROMs.
It's as simple as dropping in a few libs from the 2.31 leak (libsurfaceflinger.so, libsurfaceflinger_client.so, and libpagemap.so to be exact). Hopefully HTC takes notice of both this and the wifi issue and fixes them both in future builds.
This will help both RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs.
Just flash through Clockwork Recovery.
It may seem simple, but it actually took me a long time to narrow down which exact files are required to fix the issue, so if you appreciate my work, donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

my phones weather app started fc'ing after i flashed 6.0.2. up to then i only had the known sunday bug. after restoring to 6.0.1 fc'ing is no longer a problem. sunday bug persists.
also tried mdj's kernel v8. everything seemed fine at first. only problem was gps, wich couldn't find any satelites. now i'm on 6.0.1 with stock kernel and i just love all the working stuff. i trust, the few not working things can and will be fixed.

It's funny, I mentioned this scrolling lag quite a few times and people said things like "I have zero lag, the ROM is flying!" and stuff like that. I thought the lag was just targeting me haha. Nice to know I'm not alone .
Thanks for the fix man, I really appreciate it. I was about to give up on the laggyness on the new ROM's until I tried this out. It works like a charm and makes them as fast, or faster than the S ports.

Do I also have to flash the Radio ? And what is AU ?
Do I flash the ROM same as costum roms?

yes that is the RUU to flash.
but before you do that u need to be sure you have bootloader ENG HBOOT-0.98.2000

then you run the RUU.exe file on your pc and follow the on screen instructions.
this will return you completely to stock

Hi meinfreund,
What are the problems you are having with your navigation? I've been on VoidU and now MIUI and got my navigation running pretty well. Actually MIUI seems to be incredible with it's assisted GPS implemented settings.

I also had gps problems on certain 2.3.5 roms. Couldn't get the gps icon to even appear in the notification bar. No error messages when turning gps on though. Sound like your problems?
No need to go back to stock. Try Coredroid or CM7. I can confirm both work with gps. Also perhaps try LeeDrOid. Very close to stock look and feel but with some nice tweaks. Gps also working there too.

the icon appears and i got gps far outside the city, but when i grabbed it the signal was lost. Had to put it in front of the car to get the signal, very sensitive. I resetted gps data many times but that didn't change anything.
Before i started flashing ROMs, it worked pretty fine, in the cities too.
Actually I think that all the ROMs that I tried are not faster or better than the Stock I had before. So i'm a bit confused about what doing next?!
LeedrOid and Coredroid are from August. Aren't they a bit outdated?
Does an update of the Base and Kernel might has positive effects to the gps?
Because ther is an update for Desire S Official Sense 3.0 - [GRJ90] [2.3.5] OTA 2.10.401.4
@mimirom:
I tried MIUI too, same problem here

For the signal reception ou have to try another radio.img

If you want navigation working why dont you use another stable ROMs like Virtuous Unity, VoidU1.1a etc. etc..
Reverting back to stock is something unusual after rooting. There are lot of candidates , Just pick one and hit the base..Keep Hitting

I tried several Roms, always the same probs with gps.. thats the reason why i consider flashing back to stock.. i'd like to stay in costoum, but without Navigation i cant use it.

Read that Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 will be released soon, can anyone say how long it usually takes to get a release of a new version such as ICS 4?
Would like to test that as well

Hey,
I now flashed the Cyanogenmod 7.1 and have big trouble with that.
GPS does not work as well as with the other ROMS (GPS fix can't even "fix")
But there are some more difficulties.. i cant call or get called by someone, the Homebutton does not work (after flash, it worked.. but after shutdown it doesn't anymore)
Apart from these problems, this ROM is very fast and nice looking!
Does one of you have an idea how long it takes until a shipped ROM of ICS is available when its released?

Hi I have also cm7.1 since stable release and not having your problems. Just csipsimple has some isues. Did you do wipe cache and data? Did you restore via titanium? I restored BT pairings and had to begin since clean system, cause BT didn't work correctly. I would give a try to flash radio.

in that case you should consider about the bad weather that can affect GPS receiver.
so you can try later whenever the weather becomes better?

Installation Aborted?

So I've had this problem for a while when trying to flash something. I can flash ROMs fine, but I have issues with tweaks and the like. I've redownloaded these tweaks multiple times (such as the ICS layout for status bar) and flashed them in Clockwork and 4ext but I get Installation Aborted. Happens all the time on tons of the things I try to flash. Very annoying.

Are you sure that these "tweaks" are supported by your ROM that your using? I would make a strong bet that these tweaks are not. I'm not a dev, but ICS layouts would probably have different framework then the ROM your using, unless you're using the ICS ROM, in which case let's be honest that's probably an issue or bug they are working out since its in BETA at the moment.

Don't assume that tweaks built for a CM Rom will work on any CM based Rom. Also sense its is aborting are you using Rom manager to try and flash these? Sounds like an incompatibility issue with the script.

As Ze has already alluded too, not all CM7 tweaks transfer over. I'm not 100% on the framework for the tweaks but consider asking int he Absolution thread, Roy or one of the devs should be able to give you answer or at least some insight as to why its not working.

Well, I changed to CM7, and they still don't. Hmmm.

Hello Steve/Elegencia Modders,
I've tried your ROM briefly, didn't have much time to play around with it. I want to test it our for a longer period but one thing that stopped me was Exchange. I can only see my Inbox!! Why can't I see other folders in my email acc?

Since you're wondering where my issue is, I've burnt sometimes to flash again this ROM just to take some snapshot. Unfortunately, due to forums regulations, I am unable to post any pictures or links to show it.
I'll PM you with the snapshots and perhaps maybe you can help sharing it out.

I am using Elegancia, too and also my job-exchange-mail works fine.
All folders are visible and accessible.

As far as i know there is absolutely no ROM available which is working stable.
For a stable ROM just keep @Sense 3.6 for now.

thanks for your kind research..i'll try other roms with sense 4 out there and see if there is something good to see in it..

[Q] Jelly Bean kernel on Ice Cream Sandwich ROM?

Now, before I go and do something really stupid (and possibly non-reversible), I'd like to ask a stupid question.
Hypothetically, if I'm running a Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM (CleanROM 5.1 on ICS 4.0.4), what would happen if I were to flash a kernel based on Jelly Bean sources (Bulletproof Kernel)?
Would I brick my phone? Bootloop?
Would making a restore point in TWRP be a valid way of undoing the damage?

Never tried it. Shouldn't be any harm in trying but it certainly won't work properly.
What exactly will happen? Most likely bootloop, but can't say for sure since I've never tried. If you want to use bulletproof just update to the latest clean rom?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app

Nothing serious. You would just get a bootloop. You can fix it by flashing a compatible combination.

Would that be reflashing the ROM (in my case CleanROM) as a whole, or would it be flashing a specific kernel?
Would restoring from a TWRP backup fix it?

It would be reflashing a jb rom.
Ie: the latest cleanrom

Crap, so if something goes wrong, I have to upgrade my ROM...
The only thing that's been keeping me upgrading to Jelly Bean is that Quick Settings is gone from the notification menu. I've tried using alternatives like Notification Toggle, but they seem to have odd issues with flickering.
It's probably a petty reason, but it's my hangup nonetheless.

No... Something will go wrong lol it will not work with ics for sure

Something will go wrong. There's no way it will work. If you want to run ICS roms, you need to stay on ICS kernels, full stop.

You should be able to fastboot flash the boot.img from cleanRom ics. This would reset the kernel after the potential boot loops from flashing bulletproof.
