Shamanix`s Grass v2.0

[Shamanix]

So here is it.. Again based on Schaps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350690).. It is the best I could do since stripping down further kills "cold boot" customization for some reason.. :confused:

Nice!! (^^)

I always ask, but ... What are the differences between this ROM and Schap's 4.22 ROM? Can you post a complete list with the changes? Is this ROM based in Normal or Lite?
I'm now using Shamanix`s Grass v1.3, and it's the best ROM I've ever use ...

Thanks!
Sesaru

[Shamanix]

It is based on full that I wanted to make into lite and leave internet sharing in, but it didn`t work out like planned..
I`ve done some cosmetic changes and removed some things that could be removed ( FTouchFlo, random access, large titlebar, ect.. )

[kwill]

man, been waiting for this one. thanks! flashing now and will report back

[jcute]

Downloading ....Nice work man

[jcute]

Fast !!! Could you please tell me what different between 1.3 and 2.0 ?

[Shamanix]

The difference is in the OS build version, v2.0 is the newest available out there ( thnx to Schaps )
v2.0 had more apps cooked in and it is not lite anymore like v1.3 is..

[kwill]

man, still just a fast if not faster! honestly, i think its a great job even without it being a lite rom. you kept the most important apps cooked in and actually save me from installing a few apps that slow the rom down. thanks!!!

[kwill]

is anyone getting an error on restart saying "ptt findwindow failed"? this is of course after installing the ptt fix. just checking

[dgates71]

Yes that file has issues, I found this one in Schap's forum and it works without errors. :cool:

[kwill]

thanks much!

[joshkrajnak]

Not to be a b*tch, but it seems slower, and after re-assigning keys, they dont work. Figured you'd rather know than not know.

[dragonajie]

yup, it is a tad slow. personally i think schaps 4.01 has the best speed and stability so far so that's why Shamanix 1.3 works so well.

[kwill]

seems the same or faster to me and my device is loaded with stuff. not to mention i use the freestyle launcher which required flash lite to always be running and i have no issues with slow down of the program. honestly shamanix's roms have been the only ones that run as fast as it does currently. although i haven't tried one of shap's.

[xdaradar]

Great you build this one so fast! downloading now, shame i need to work this afternoon

[blinkin]

I hoped you can make it to the lite version :(
as it has built in htc home and other stuff I don't use I won't be installing but will surely wait impatiently for your next lite version :)
will you still be working on lite one or rather wait for the new schap's rom?

[Shamanix]

Nope.. I`m sorry, but lite version simply will not work.. I`ve could remove HTC Home and Adobe Reader ( I use those anyway ), but if I remove any other app it messes up provmxl settings and cold boot customizations wich is not an option..

I gave my best but I just couldn`t figure out why removing RRS hub or BT explorer,..ect. will kill settings. :confused:

[blinkin]

I know you gave your best, no doubt about that :)
but if schap will release new version you still will be trying to lite'ning it? :)

[Shamanix]

Yeah, I always go for lite... :D

It is a shame this one wouldn`t work out.. :(

[friscoltu959]

this will be, my first installed cooked rom. (soz for my english)

[dgates71]

Yeah, I always go for lite... :D

It is a shame this one wouldn`t work out.. :(

Shamanix this did work out, I guess you can classify this one as a medium rom. Yes at times certain items feel a half tick slower, but others like TOMTOM, AudioManager, and Camera Album open 2 ticks faster and are much smoother to operate. The overall rom is more stable and is still much faster than any OEM Rom.

Also you removed the right amount of stuff, because now when I add the programs that I use on top of what is already cooked in, I now have an additional 10mb free now. I went from 22mb free with a lite and adding everything, to 32mb free after only adding what was missing.

Thanks for the Excellent Work.:cool:

[Shamanix]

Some things here do run faster.. switching to landscape/portrait.. like nothing i've seen so far :eek:

There some issues with ustable internet connection, but I think that is just my lousy operator :D
IE page scrolling is slow though..
Who knows what other issues there might be..

Now I don't know what to do next: fix bugs in this one or do a remake grass v1.5 with internet sharing, that will be stripping down schaps full ROM to see if it will behave like this one while stripping.. hmm..

[kwill]

Nope.. I`m sorry, but lite version simply will not work.. I`ve could remove HTC Home and Adobe Reader ( I use those anyway ), but if I remove any other app it messes up provmxl settings and cold boot customizations wich is not an option..

I gave my best but I just couldn`t figure out why removing RRS hub or BT explorer,..ect. will kill settings. :confused:

it would still be great if you could even take at least HTC Home out. it sucks up my program mem and i don't use it because of the freestyl interface im already running. which is really the best ive seen out there. and its free!!!

[xdaradar]

Working with 2.0 for a few hours. All the things i've used so far are working and it sem to be a bit faster than 1.1

There seems to be a problem with the vertical scroll bar. Several times it appears to be not alligned. Than later on it works again. Didn't find a logic yet.

Same happened to me when trying schap's ROM and shamanix 1.3 Didn't happen in Shamanix 1.1

Anyone else having this?

[xdaradar]

This is certainly not to complain, Shamanix-ROM is the best for me. Just some findings that all worked fine in version 1.1:

Audiomanager:
Does an extensive library search at every startup. It knows it's library but still searches a long time. When launching audiomgr from the htc-home tab, it doesn't show the last played song immediately. You need to tap a second or third time, then the audiomanaer library screen will show up, busy searching.

Audiomanager:
When tap/hold on a mp3 file in explorer and then "open with" audiomanager, the library will show up and not the file to play

Windows mediaplayer:
When tap/hold on a mp3 file in explorer and then "open with" mediaplayer, the mediaplay say's "file not found". When opening from the mediaplayer it's okay.

WM5Storage:
The troubleshoot options can't be set
The desktop does not recognize the PDA
When closed the filesystem lost the storagecard and soft reset is needed
After installing the same 1.8 version from a cab file it works as it should

HTC-Home Weather plugin
Copy of my own citydb like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187 gives the option to choose my city, but is unable to retrieve the weatherdata

[mithoss76]

Great ROM you took a great ROM and made it even better

This cab fixes the slow IE scroll issue.

[lagoskon]

Please make a Grass 2 Lite based on Schaps 4.22 Lite as you did with your previous Roms and fix things that you sure can

[dgates71]

Just a suggestion, you already now how I feel about your rom. Unlike most roms that slow down over time, this one gets faster. I know Task Manager is already in the rom, but try out wktask, easier to switch between programs and more configurable.;)

[xdaradar]

Shamanix, IMO builing further on 2.0 is the better option then going for 1.5

- very quick on long file-lists like the windows directory
- the first vesion i see that's really doing memory housekeeping well!!!
--- closing down IE will make free memory realy jump, never seen this before
--- starting audiomgr will make free memory go up/down for a while wile searching for files and then free-up again when finished
- overall speed/stability stay´s okay, at least this one day since i use it

For me a few work-arrounds makes even the current 2.0 very usable
- wm5menu cab install fixes the not working cooked-in one. Same version 1.8
- audiomanager cab install fixes the earlier mentioned issue of slow startup during library search. version 816.716
- IE Slow Scroll Fix.cab posted by dgates71 indeed solves this problem
- htc-home cab install from N2A: HTC Home 2.1 for Hermes/TyTN/Vario II (Schen cab, with Hermes brightness fix, WM6 only) solved the issue of n data for added cities

So i´ll stick to this 2.0 and see what happens in all day use, for me the major gain is the proper memory housekeeping

[markafreeman]

Any chance someone could post this on another mirror? Can't download it at the moment on rapidshare. Damn usage limit!
:)

* Finally got it downloaded, will flash and see how it goes.

Thanks

after try many roms include shamanix grass 1.3 , 2.0 , pandora naked 5, pandora naked 6.. i switched back to fixed shamanix 3.54c again. for me , this is the best and the most stable rom

Everyone his own flavor, but maybe you could try Shamanix 1.1

It's newer than 3.54c and for me it was very stable and fast for many weeks intensive use ;-)

[Shamanix]

Thanks for all your reports!

I`ve thought about it and I will edit Schaps 4.22 lite ROM. I tried to get internet sharing in my lite ROM by stripping Schaps full ROM, but that just didn`t work out with 4.22 version :(

I hope someone will manage to create working internet sharing cab..


Grass v2.1 is ready now and I will give it a test drive and if it is all good, it will be released later today..

[markafreeman]

So far so good.

Thanks for a nice clean quick rom.

[MaRaHoX]

Hello, I had also problems with Schaps 4.22 ROM and Internet Sharing, so I took 4.22 Full. Today I flashed Grass 2.0 and I am was very suprised - wow, It is reactive! Will testing this stuff, but for now I am satisfied!

[Shamanix]

I have a question for those that receive mails from contacts with pictures: is the picture alignment bug when you open mail present ?

[kipe]

yes it is still there bro..

nonetheless apart from those minor bugs, this version is very responsive..nice job shamanix

[Shamanix]

Ok.. I`ve tested outlook picture bug in new v2.1 that is based on Schaps lite and it seems that in lite ROM outlook picture bug is not present..

But slow IE scrolling bug was present, I`ve fixed that one..

PTT button will be fixed too in v2.1, so no need of installing cab fixes anymore.. ;)

A little more testing to be sure that I haven`t forgat anything and if there is something to be fixed before releasing :cool:

good to hear that bro... only wish that solution is found by you or some other members herein to make internet sharing workable in that ROM... :) ..anyway, tq again bro

[Shamanix]

Thanks kipe! :D

I am too stupid for internet sharing cab it seems, but I`ve asked some smarter people then me ( matt and bepe ) so maybe they can help us with that one.. I surly hope so... :o

[kipe]

u being too modest shamanix.. :) hopefully there will be a solution to that, but for now, for users like me, heavy users of ICS, your 2.0 ROM's suffice..

[MaRaHoX]

Waiting for this new fixed version, but for me is also very important Internet Sharing... but thanks for your work!

Would you be willing to use HTC-Home from N2A like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187

It is the same, newest version, you use. But it's patched to get weather data from added cities, since we don't all live in the bigger cities of the world ;-)

hi shamanix, i hope you can replace the htc taskmanager with WKTask. Thanks!

[Shamanix]

Next release will be lite, without HTC Home plugin and task manager, so you can choose what you want/need, unfortunately there won`t be internet sharing inside too :(

oh that's sad... what applications need to be cooked in order for IS to work?

[Shamanix]

ICS needs to be cooked in, but I don`t know how to cook modules back in..

So once removed, I can`t get it back in..

[arnarn911]

I mean, what programs are necessary to be cooked-in in order for IS to work? because i understand that you need to keep some apps in the rom for IS to work? do i make sense? :)

Ok.. I`ve tested outlook picture bug in new v2.1 that is based on Schaps lite and it seems that in lite ROM outlook picture bug is not present..

Shamanix back to the above issue at hand, apparently this bug has gone away in my device, I do not exactly know what could be the reason for the outlook picture alignment bug to go away but did installed IE Slow Scroll Fix.cab by dgates71 ..it has gone away without having to go to landscape mode & back to potrait (one way to re-align the pic, temporarily only)

below is my device screenshot (mail outlook opened in potrait mode)

..maybe those having the same issue could try this to make it go away, hopefully, as in my case :) ..good luck

Shaminix your roms are always the best. I love how light they are.
