Develop Bugs

Black Shadow doesn't work well!

Hi guys,
My friends and me tried Black Shahow( black 4.0) today. It really got big memory as previous black version, free ROM 53M and RAM 30.4M, noticed that TOTAL RAM showing near 50M instead of 48M. The HTC home looks quite ok but for the weather panel the cities are limited for selection. THE BIGGEST BUG IS that sometime it CAN'T START PROPERLY and ALWAYS HANG during the re-starting period. You may need to reset it for several time just to start the phone.
Long time expectation but still encountered major bug.
Hope JJ can solve these bugs.

Perhaps this would be better off in the official thread? There was no need to start a new one.

Anyway, just FYI:
the original one was ok but jj added a file to fix HSDPA - this cuased a comflict with the current version of the ROM.
Apparently, if you disabled HSDPA things are better.
That's a workaround until jj releases a fixed ROM a bit later on.

try turn to landscape will be better but still need wait for new one..

most issues has been already resolved on www.4winmobile.com . if you need help, go to jasjamming forum and ask there. it was his request, and he did not answering question on two places. bye.

Thanks your guy. I think it will be better to wait for new rom..

Anyone still keep the "First release version"?
My X01HT cannot wake up after slept each time...
I cant wait...

rom has been updated
Should this be a seperate thread here or just put it with the black shadow thread?

No. For you maybe, but on my 8525 it's fast as hell and haven't had ANY problems or this "hang" problem either. The ROM is awesome!

I've run the rom also...I'm having no problems either. I experienced a hang during the install but after that I've been smooth and I'm HSDPA.

I tried it but it still doesn't work, previously i installed official wm5.0 rom / qtek 2.11.255.2. It works quite well and stable. Do anyone have idea how to fix the bug?

Could someone please start a new thread Entitled: 'Black Shadow Works Great'
And then another one: 'Black Shadow Works So-So.'
Infact, everytime someone wants to say something, just start a New Thread.

Seriously, there is a Hermes fans chatting room. In the chatting room, it is complainted as well that they got same experience as me. There is one similarity that we performed complete flash using Qtek 2.11.255.2 before updating to Black Shadow (4.0). I am thinking if there are conflictions between Black Shadow and Qtek latest WM5.0 ROM. However, we don't experience such bugs using Black Diamond which i regarded it as more stable one and faster than Shadow and some other cooked roms. Unfortunately, i can't access 4winmobile.com and can't comment this to JJ.
Should JJ read this may he give us a solution.
Anyhow, thanks for his great works and best regards.

For anyone seeing this thread now - there is an updated rom called shadow.rar already posted on wmblack.info and it fixes the problems from this morning.

Hi, i just downloaded and tried the shadow.rar. After flashed it is still the same, can't start properly. Is it possible because of Radio? Someone with radio 1.38 told me his phone working well. By the way, i installed CE-star.

ey, works great for me with 1.38 right now...so seems your issues aren't related to Radio version.
Try without CE-star (perhaps not compatible), and post results.

I find it thoroughly ammusing! all these posts dissing the rom creator and booing if the f**k up the install or the rom isn't perfect! when will you guys realise that we are in the thick of beta land! everything is a gamble! you don't put your head in the ovan just because someone else did and got away with it!
i'm pretty new to this rom business and only tried a few. I *****ed once but then came to my stark realisation. IT'S ALWAYS A GAMBLE! read the notes that come with the rom!
these guys are clued up enough to work at M$ (or Apple. imagine mobile OSX on a tytn!).
I think you guys need to chill and take it as it comes! that's the deal!
that's my 2 pence worth anyway!

I think some members of this forum just need to get laid.

[Q] Virtuous Doubleshot

If you havn't noticed it yet but the download link is down in the original Virtuous Doubleshot thread I development section. The download link has been down for quite some time now....
Because I have not gotten over 10 post limit I can't ask there but does anyone else know where I can get the rom?
Also, you can give me some comments about the rom If it's worth trying out...

You can google or ask the OP of the doubleshoot in a private message if you can't post in the thread

Thank you so much!

The Doubleshot is my favorite Sense ROM. I just love the launch bar. Unfortunately, it doesn't run so smoothly, it quickly became obvious to me that it was intended for a phone with more RAM. If that wasn't the case I would probably be running it still.
Also, the kernel is not compatible with the swap script so that won't help.
There is a thread in the DHD forums with some visual mods but I believe the download links are dead.

I agree
This *was* my favorite ROM as well, but the lag just got to bad. Would be nice for an update that would allow swap. the supercharger script also didn't help with me as well.

Yeah, the rom is not lag free but i didn't find it exceptional laggy. I've tried manualy add the ultra-smooth rosie to this one which reduced the lag but some times when you go to the landscape mode you can't press any shortcuts or widgets... An update with fixed ultra-smooth rosie would make the rom perfect i think.
As for the theme, the download link is dead as said. Does anybody got a copy that? The maker of that one has lost the files for it and therefore he can't reupload it

[GUIDE] Beginner's Guide For The HTC One X

Hi.
This is the guide I made for the Desire S forum to help newcomers to Android and HTC. It turned out to be quite popular and helpful, so I have given it a tweak for the One X and put it here for your benefit. It’s in .pdf format so you can download it and read it on your phone at your leisure.
Again this is only for people coming from Nokia, iPhone, Blackberry etc. I’m pretty certain that this device is going to tempt a lot of people away from them. If you’ve owned an Android before this will all be known to you.
Hope it helps!
P.S. This dropbox link will expire every couple of months. If you have problems downloading, let me know. I’ll get the link refreshed ASAP.
Link updated 9th May
Download link: http://db.tt/K7U6Z76L

Updated link so it should work again. Let me know if it stops and i'll refresh it.
Think I posted it too soon for most people to find. This is a VERY busy forum.
Happy to help.

I probably fall under the list of people who do not need to follow this guide. But alone the fact that one of the first things i read was not to install a task killer goes to prove that this is well worth a read for 'noobs'.
Hahaha! That was one of the first mistakes i actually made on my android phone, i installed a task killer.
Oh! Gotya Facetrap, i'm so installing that.

If it's even a little bit helpful then I'm happy!
I simply adjusted it from the Desire S guide I did.
I would like to have people post their new-comer stumbles and discoveries here. God knows I went through enough myself. Two years ago I thought an apk was an assault rifle!
If they are worth the addition then I'll periodically update this guide to include them (giving credit to the sources of course) and it should grow into quite a useful starting point from people finally putting their iPhone down.
It'll help me improve and evolve this beginners guide to help other newcomers from tripping on the same hurdles as us. We all started somewhere!
Note: This is not meant to include stuff on rooting, unlocking, flashing etc. This is already covered in sufficient detail here on XDA. This is just about getting started.

To be honest, i really enjoyed this guide.
It's actually really helpful. Love some of the Apps you've listed, much better than the "top 50 android apps" i've encountered using google search.
The power management part was also of help. Didn't know of the "*#*#4636#*#* part.
Thanks!

Great guide, however, the wifi sleep policy advice can be confusing. Your guide says to set wifi sleep to "never". However, the option on screen refers to staying awake, not sleeping. Users should actually select "always"
Easy to work out but it may confuse noobs.

nice!!
thanks for the work and share!!

Handy guide, soo is tasker your app? Cmon you have to be some sort of benefitery

I actually heard about Tasker from an AT&T rep when I went in to change my plan. Awesome app, and this guide helped me learn about the loveliness that is exit task. I actually made a separate profile to undo what my work profile did. Good to know I can just make an exit task . I learned something today, woot! Once my battery test is done, i'll mess with it a bit more. Running the test because I am curious, battery runs fine for me so... 10min in, only 3% down.

That's how it used to be worded on older android phones, which of course caught me out when I switched to the HOX.

Yeah some Roms have features that take over from Tasker. Sense 3.5 had that power management for battery low. It's gone in sense 4 (apart from that hidden menu but no one knows when it kicks in) so Tasker resumed that roll. It's just handy for filling the gaps in a Roms functionality, if like me, you can't write a line of code to save your life! Things like gps off when exiting navigation, and underclocking when using navigation AND charging (which makes my phone run VERY hot).

[Q] Couldn't establish a secure connection. [SOLVED]

Using the latest rom from Task650 2013.02.23 I'm not able to connect to some secure sites. One example is https://stripe.com/ but there are plenty of others, but no names off the top of my head (just want to point out it's not unique to Stripe, happens with about 1 in 4 sites I've tried to use.) I ran into this quirk with older versions of this rom as well. Happen on a clean install, both stock browser and Chrome.
I'd potentially post in the development thread but where I'm a newbie it won't let me, sorry about that!
Any tips on how I might resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Or if you know where I might look to find a more verbose error log, that would be pretty awesome as well.
Thanks!
Edit: can't explain what happened, but after logging in to a Google Account on the device and installing a handful of apps/updates everything works as expected. Case closed, for now. If I figure out what happened I'll come back to post about it for others who might run into it.

I'm able to get to the above website, as well as all the SSL sites I visit, credit cards, bank, mint, credit scores, ect.. without fail. I'm also on the 2/23 build from task. when flashing sometimes things can happen like this, even on a clean flash.
You may have to Odin back to stock to do a complete fresh reinstall of tasks ROM.
unrelated, I had to do so with a recent LTE issue that is now fixed.

Thanks for the reply RPelham!
I have jumped back to older versions of the rom but it still happens. I wipe caches, format /system and proceed with a clean install each time. The checksum matches on all files used so I'm relatively sure I'm downloading what's expected.
Your comment about LTE perks my curiosity. Although not on LTE myself, now that I'm home I've I connected to wifi and this issue isn't presenting. The only time I run into problems is when trying to connect to secure sites over cellular data.
My data plan isn't limited or being misused so I don't suspect they've throttled the connection. Not lucky enough to be on any unlimited data plan and no high usage coming from me. No high connection counts... really nothing all that notable. E-mails and calendar sync mostly.
Does Bell muck up HTTPS traffic? I would call them up but I feel tier 1 technical support isn't going to be much help until I narrow it down more.

RPelham was referring to going back to stock (TW) and starting over with tasks aokp. that usually resolves almost every issue.

Search for stock firmware in the Android development section. Your bell version will be listed with the others. You'll need odin installed on your pc.

first though before you actually odin stock

Time and date appear to be accurate. Haven't located the official roms just yet, will poke around and see what's around.

I loaded the stock rom and HTTPS sites works as expected. Rooted again, and installed the latest from Task (2013.02.26) and back to having these connection issues. Going to go post on the development thread, but any tips or ideas more than welcome! Thanks fellas

Well he was quick to reply and inform me my carrier is unsupported. Yeesh, like... really quick. You would think he lives here on xda. That aside I decided to try the slim rom and I hit the same issue. So it's not unique to task. However, I'm completely stumped at this point. It would be sweet if the browser would give a better error message! Keeping my eyes peeled for others with the same issue and possible solutions, but thanks again for the advice so far!

[APP][MOD] Updated SVoice from S3 leak --- A LOT of improvements!!

Hey there
As I'm very curious (and always keen to flash my poor Mini) I like surfing other xda subforums,especially our big brother's ones
Today I've found THIS, so first of all thanks to the original poster jackq.
I've taken his zip, re-wrote updater script, renamed a file and voilà! Brand new S-Voice for our phone :laugh:
It works both on ODEXed and DEODEXed ROMs
New features? So far I've noticed:
Waaay better speech synthesis, at least for non-english languages (Italian in my case, it was UGLY before)
It's faaaast It takes 2-3 seconds less to elaborate instructions than the stock one!!
Also speech recognition has been greatly improved! Now S Voice isolates our voices from the external noise better
Download!
Grab it here http://goo.im/devs/dariolob/Tools/Galaxy S3 Mini/SVoice.zip

sorted

nicely done
tested and does appear to perform and respond faster

How to install? Flash in CWM?

yeah install via cwm

Works faster, thx for sharing!

I did some more testing, command like "call John" or "set alarm to.." works really well and fast, but then I ask questions like "how old is Barack Obama" i get: "An enexpected server error accurred. Please try again". Seems like every question that needs the internet search is kinda broken. Anyone can test this? Thanks.
