Hello,
I've been reading this forum for quite some years and using some of the tutorials and ROMs from here but never actually posted anything and now that I have a few questions about on of the ROMs I'm using now I'm not quite sure where to post it since as a newly registered member I can't post anything in the correct ROM Thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467013 ], so please be patient with me.
I thought it would make more sense to post my actually questions than trying to reach those 10 posts to be able to post it directly there.
So now to my questions:
I have a HTC Desire S (obviously) and had for about 1 1/2 years now an old CoreDroid Version from here (can't remember which one) which I was quite happy with till it started to crash more and more often, battery kept draining and then there came a point a few weeks ago where it would just randomly go out and wouldn't restart till you charged it again.
That got me so annoyed I thought I either buy a new HTC Desire 310 soon or give another ROM a try, so I chose the cm-11-20140324-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip from the first page and installed it after remembering how to do so.
Then the Gapps and started configuring it.
So far so good, ROM looks good, stable, battery is working much longer now, so thanks a lot.
But I had and still have some issues.
Whatsapp wouldn't instal, so through the search function I would a way around it (in the end downloading it from whatsapp directly and installing it through the .apk worked) and got that sorted.
The next thing is still a worry to me, I used to sync my contacts from my outlook through android-sync [ http://www.android-sync.com/ ] which I bought after non of the other syncing methods worked to my satisfaction. Everything worked fine with the old ROM (after I set it up) but with the new ROM the program on my computer can't find the mobile phone anymore, I tried to reinstall the ADB drivers, but it didn't work (I sent the error log from the program to the developer a few days ago but still haven't heard back), so maybe someone around here knows a way around it?
Last night I experienced another issue, the clock works fine and after I installed the ROM I set up a few different alarm clocks and they worked. But yesterday I wanted to change the alarms and now every time I try to access the alarm clock the clock app stops working "Clock stopped working" and it closes.
I can delete the alarms and set up a new one, but only the time, then it saves and when I try to change the days or the sound same error appears. I searched the forum and internet for a bit and found ideas like deleting the clock data and cache, rebooting the device, but none worked.
And last but not least it seems I can't find the right settings for it but every time I swype or type on the keyboard it vibrates. I turned off all the other noises that the phone made while typing but this one I can't find. I would like my phone to be silent and don't vibrate when I type. Where can I find the settings for it?
If anybody could help me with this I would appreciate it a lot.
Kind Regards
Marvin
For vibrating on keyboard press setting are at SETTINGS/Presonal/Languager and Input/Keyboard settings (for me it's ASOP keyboard settings).
Did you do dirty flash or clean one? Clean ROM flash is recommended.
Other problems I got with previous devil-kin CM11.Couldn't get usb mass storage and adb working.Now I keep Flinny CM11 build and it works.I didn't try devil-kin last build.
Maybe you can try install Flinny alpha 5 CM11 and try if that work.

I installed Flinny alpha 5 CM11 now and tried it out. I had a few crashes with the devil-kin version too and bought a new battery, so hard to tell what solved what, but so far so good.
But for the syncing problem, now I have an even worse error:
ht*p :// i.gyazo.com/798a67697deb9f91904e7cac9b62bf76.png
with the devil-kin version it still found something and just had problems with the adb drivers, now there seems to be something else going on.

Regarding that issue I also got problems with many other apps i.e. Redphone, Textsecure, Chiffry and so on there always comes the message that these apps are incompatible to my device - strange I also use cm11_saga_flinny_alpha5 Kernel 4.4.2.
These messages of incompatibility are generated by Google play store, when comparing AndroidManifest.XML permissions and requirements with the phone...
Further more Issues at Finny/Devilkin CM11.0
Hello guys,
I am also new at this Forum although using it "passiv" since years. Now I flashed the CM 11.0 from Devilkin and ones from Flinny.
- Unofficial CM10.2 / CM11.0 build for Saga / Desire S
All works (both ROMs) great up to the wired headphone Controles.
I think this might be the right thread to Post that until I reached the Number of Posts to put the in the right developerthread. Hope anyone can help.
The exactly problem:
I use orginal HTC-Headset with three controller Buttoms. The headphone itself is working though I can hear music and sound but the Controls and the Mic are not working. I tried to register an input with the jayzheadphone app but it shows no input. Headphone and controls worked fine with stock ROM.
Thank you for help.
@Terodax
Sorry but I cant't evaluate your issue cause of the missing HTC-Headset, but I got some other weird thing with the "mute" button on calling someboy it fails in doing it .-/
So I worked around the little problem in "holding" the call -> that works and it's like muting

Hello
I need to use whatsapp and facebook mensseger on it.
thanks
If any one is interested, i know a couple of you may be very intersted !!
I found this link someone posted on need rom, from 4PDA site, for the s650, these roms are custom based from CN roms which include MIUI , LEWA and AOSP !!
EDIT 10 / 5 / 14: New roms have been added and updates to LEWA and MIUI, also a couple of ROW based roms in there too !!
EDIT 15 / 5 / 14: All roms confirmed to be working fully with dual sim !!
All seem to be good and working , i am still testing and have got stuck on AOSP, I love it !! It is smooth and fast,and for first release on all these roms extremely good with a very promising future !!!!
They are all in development stage still but, in particular the AOSP is particularly stable, the only fault seems to be notification light not working for missed calls and messages !!! MINIMAL PROBLEM !!!
If only i could join these forums to thank the guys for their hard work !!
Problem is the verification code to join, needs to be in Russian, so i can't !!!
Here is the link, ENJOY !!!!!
ALL LINKS FOR ROMS ARE OPEN TO GUEST USERS !!
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=567114
So far my impression of the AOSP is very good, the only slightly annoying thing is that after a long call the screen does not wake automatically, you must press the power button, otherwise really good !!!!
Just started testing LEWA and so far looks good, a couple of things to note:
After first boot leave it to settle for a few minutes and then reboot, if you don't a lot of the toggles in settings do not work !!!
Dual sim settings in main setting menu do not seem to work, i tried the sim in both sim 1 and sim 2 slots and they work as they should but i don't know about 2 sims together !! (TESTER NEEDED FOR THIS )
Will continue testing and move on to MIUI later , so more posts / issues and request for testers on dual sim use will follow !!
OK, so apart from the already mentioned issue with dual sim management, the LEWA rom is actually very good, everything seems to work and the interface is very clean and easy to use, with smooth graphics !
The MIUI rom also has the issue with dual sim management, it is not obvious if it works or not, the feature in settings only shows the card in use ( TESTER NEEDED TO TRY 2 SIMS ), otherwise works very well, the things i don't like so much are, trying to figure out the root manager ( seems to be on all MIUI roms ) and the annoying WI-FI only pop up everytime you try to download or if it thinks it is too big for data, which happens to be everything over about 2 mb !!!
The AOSP rom, seems to be working great except for notification LED not working and poor battery life, it seems that the dual sim function is OK, the warning is in notification drawer that no sim in slot 2 and each slot works individually ( TESTER NEEDED FOR 2 SIMS TOGETHER ) i am really hoping battery life will be fixed somewhere in development but it does seem to be a problem with AOSP roms specifically , so i am not optimistic !!
The AOSP is exactly as expected, pure android look and feel, very fast, light on the system and without all the overwhelming features of some roms, i do like it but battery drain is a real minus for me !!!
If you like MIUI roms and are used to the features, it is great if not i would try the LEWA rom for something similar to VIBEUI !! Go with the AOSP if you want simple, stock android, light on the system and very easy to use !!!!
thanks for the info. I do not have a backup phone so please let us know if dual sim is functional for the AOSP. I really hate the default ROW ROM.
It appears to be, the warning is there to the tell me that no card is insim2 slot and both slots work separately , I just have not tried both together !!! Worst case is going back to ROW if it doesn't work, bear in mind these are only first release customs so they should become more functional with development !!
The downside with AOSP is battery life, seems to drain twice as fast but seems to be a typical AOSP thing !!!

Batter battery drain is a show stopper for me. My current Rom is fine with battery. I just want to run plain vanilla ROM. My gf doesn't need the extra crap they installed. I wish there was a Linux or Mac way of rooting. I don't run Windows, but if I have to dual boot, I guess I don't have a choice.
If there is flash tool for mac or linux you can actually load TWRP using flash tool and root through TWRP !??
Just make sure if you are with ROW download ROW recovery and CN for CN roms !!
Once you have chosen the scatter file in flash tool, tick DA DL ALL box at the top !
Click on the RECOVERY line, this will open up a window so that you can choose which recovery.
Choose the TWRP recovery you downloaded and then proceed with the flash procedure as normal.
Once finished reboot the phone.
Now power down
Now power on holding volume up and down together, release power button only on vibrate, this will boot recovery
You should see TWRP reovery, go to wipes / advanced wipe wipe cache and dalvik
Now go back to main menu and choose reboot, you should see a prompt that SUPERUSER IS NOT INSTALLED, JUST SLIDE THE BAR TO INSTALL
Now once the phone is rebooted you will see superuser icon on screen, click it and it will tell you to update, easiest is via play store ( make sure you added account ) , it will tell you upgrade success and tell you to update binary, do this too and now you are rooted
Awesome, hope the will be more progress on the AOSP rom.
Yeah, me too, i have been using it for a couple of days and it really is good, the battery does even out a bit after a couple of charges but not nearly as good as the battery life on stock Jelly bean rom, getting about 15-20%% less life !!
I have mentioned somewhere before that during 6 hours intense use on internet, testing GPS, bluetooth and downloading 2 rom zip files at 600mb each, on stock 4.2.2 rom still had about 50% left on battery but on this AOSP rom during exactly the same use it went down to 31% !!
Waiting for a 4.4.2 AOSP
Sent from my Lenovo S650 using Tapatalk
The 4.4.2. stock rom is still in development, so my guess is they are waiting for a more stable version to use for custom, it does take time and i honestly think there will be something by about July / August, provided everything goes well !!
Everything stable and working fine after a week using 1417 dev

Is there an AOSP ROW?
Sent from my Lenovo S650 using Tapatalk
Hi bluerichblue. I know you've been around the block with the current released ROMs. I found out that ROW is required for other because of the different languages. I only need EN so I can install any ROM correct?
The original ROM I got for this unit had some anti-malware / AV installed which resulted the unit lagging. Especially when it lists the text messages and opening texts. I restore to the S650_S119_131014 form needrom and it had the stripped down ROM that only has a few 3rd party apps and GAPPS included. The S650_S119_131014 is very light weight and the battery lasts longer than a day for heavy texting and and ligh calls. I was impressed! The only problem I have with the S650_S119_131014 ROM is that it has some Chinese characters in the text app and a few other minor Chinese characters on a few other places. It's not a show stopper though.
have you encountered other custom ROMs that have all English in it?
Yes you can install any rom, if you are using flash tool it is a straight forward flash, if you use TWRP you must make sure that you have the corresponding recovery installed, that means if you want to go from CN to ROW you need ROW TWRP installed even on the CN rom !!
Also the same in reverse, if you want to go from ROW to CN you need to install CN recovery even on ROW rom to flash !!
The reason is the partitions are different, on ROW roms you will have about 5gb allocated to apps space but on CN only 2.8gb !!
The ROW roms have been tweaked so the Chinese is not there and the AOSP is proper English !!
Hope this helps !!!

Are you talking about AOSP OS 4.2.2 R-V0.11.2 ROW - old? I'm assuming there is no AOSP version that matches the latest official *VibeUI* rom right?
Yes the version of AOSP you saw is correct but so far no AOSP for the latest KitKat version,
The latest release for VibeUI is a stable CN version so i am guessing they will start on ROW versions now and hopefully some of the Russian developers will pick it up and start developing custom KitKat for us but saying that Mediatek roms are known for having different dependencies which are meant to be a pain to work with and with the partitions in KitKat being different, could be a while before we get something !!

You need to use the ROW TWRP even if you are on a CN rom , as the partitions are different and the recoveries are set for specific partition !!

Hi,
I've tested the OMNI 5.1 for P6200, from the lockscreen to everything were smooth, only some bugs that can be found on the original thread. However the simcard are not detected and the baseband unknown, accessing the network option only fc ing the setting menu.
I've looking into other device forum and they fix this by flashing their modem.bin using odin. Is it possible to fix it that way? Thank you.
Curently on CM12.1 latest build (only bug is thenlockscreen are always restart with systemui are not responding, but not major problem)
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA Free mobile app
The last build that worked with my sim card was 4.4.4
since then I couldn't use sim card at all
Tested the latest OMNI 5.1.1 build, fast install, fast initial system boot and overall it seems more stable than latest CM 12.1 (great work Daniel ) however after several reboot and waiting, my simcard are still not detected. Too bad, maybe i did something wrong or maybe not . Anyway going back to Cm 12.1 as my daily.

I noticed that "mm-pp-daemon" was stopping the CPU from going in to sleep state and keeping it at full clocks but after killing the process it reloaded and was fine.
@nutsda, I've tried to pm this but its not working. Probably some spell check safety net
You should post a link here. http://www.modaco.com/forums/forum/796-vodafone-smart-ultra-6/
the SU6 has its own device forum on Modaco and I'm sure it would create some interest.
I've pushed(?) a change that enables the NFC and also put up my overlay folders. There's some stuff in there you might like.
The sensors (Accelerometer, Magnetic field and Rotation vector) are still causing grief.
How fast is your phone to "wake up" from sleep? My buttons light up but screen on takes about 5 seconds. (could be the sensor hal cal firing up but im not 100% sure.)

Use recovery to flash a 5.1 stock ROM, then you can get temporary root. I'm guessing you've found a guide for this. After that I recommend flashing stock MM from TWRP. There's one with edited uodater-script around that will work.
Hint: look at the forum I posted earlier.

I haven't tried the other custom roms but I believe it will be because most of them are ported from another phone rather than specifically built for this phone.
