[ROM][29 APR 12][Endymion V3.5|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.2|ControlCenter]

Endymion V3.5 ROM

This is based on the official 1.05.401.4 WWE RUU for Runnymede (final version - release-keys) with several tweaks and optimizations, plus a modified UNITY kernel (credits for great base go to m-deejay). Actually, this kernel is based on the Hyperion kernel, with different settings. The V2.2 Endymion kernel includes:

• - Working front facing camera
• - Working stereo video recording
• - No default undervolting
• - deadline IO Scheduler as default
• - CFQ, VR, SIO and BFQ IO Schedulers as optional
• - CFS Scheduler
• - Tiny RCU and other optimizations
• - GPU tweaks

V3.5 builds upon V3.4, with some updates and consolidating the proven stability of previous versions. It's been over 3 months since last update, and Endymion V3.4 is still one of the most used ROMs for the Desire S. V3.5 includes Endymion Control Centre, slightly modified from V3.4. In V3.5 I removed the Pdroid and Droidwall tabs, leavin to the user the choice of installing the standalone apps or not. It makes a cleaner interface.

Endymion Control Center was built by me from the ground up. The application is programed on top of the HTC opensense SDK, seamlessly integrating with other sense elements on the rom. The Control Center is installed by default, and it detects if the optional addons package was installed. If it was, the Theme Manager part will also work, if not, all other functionalities are still available to the user.

Control Center Functionalities:

Theme manager:

• - Theme: Stock, IceHD, HoneHD or GoldRush
• - Fonts: Stock, Roboto, Segeo, Ubuntu
• - Bootanimations: Stock, Speedo, Quietly Rooted, Pyral, Liquid Honeycomb, Htc Bkack, Flying Vs

All RCTeam tweaks
New Endy tweaks

• - Change animations speed on the fly (with a slider)
• - CPU Control: Control daemon controller, max an min frequencies for wake and sleep states, cpufreq governor, IO Scheduler, you name it. Taken from Reaper.
• - AGPS Patcher: Apply/revert gps patches on the fly, taken from reaper. Credits to author on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442032
• - Turn on/off GPU rendering (just for kicks, but leave it on, seriously)
• - Change scrolling smoothness (tradeoff with speed)
• - Change V6 Supercharger profiles on the fly (default, aggressive and insane)
• - Change Dalvik VM Heap size (32, 48 or 64Mb)
• - Bass boost: choose to give a bass boost on beats
• - Disable Rosie Spinning: turn on/off the fast "caroussel" spinning of Rosie

Screenshots


Regarding themes, changes are valid after reboot, and do not require any sort of flashing. You can still apply any UOT mods you want, and revert back to any included themes with the Theme manager. For the IceHD and HoneyHD themes, I suggest also choosing the matching skins, also included.

Since V3.1 the addons are installed to the sdcard, so there's minimal overhead to your data and system partitions.

Note that I did not create the bootanimations, neither the IceHD and HoneyHD themes! Credits go to the original authors: he_shteone64 for the themes, and the bootanimations (and lots more) you can find here.

Hall of fame

I want to thank each and everyone of you who donated, no matter how much. It's very appreciated! I don't know where some came from, so this goes to Endy and Reaper threads (I think Hyperion is mostly stale).

Just checked in after a long time to see if it was finally time to give up reaper and move to Endymion... but it seems all development is now halted, and our genius dev lowveld has left to do some other work (maybe ICS). And then suddenly i see this Sense 4 port!! I hope Endymion gets upgraded to ICS and Sense 4... would never look back if that happened!!!

Great going, DS community. There's a cookie for me everytime i check in here!

Yes lowveld, any plans to port this to ICS and Sense 4? Will be fantastic. Thanks again for your hardwork.

i don't think lowveld will release a chopped rom without full functionality (in my opinion). and without a (leaked) 3.0 kernel u will never get a full-working ics rom.
(thats the reason why all ics roms for the desire s haven't full functionality)

but maybe in future^^

Hey all,

I think I said it before, but if not, I'll say it now. Endy is not going to be "upgraded" or whatever you call it to ICS. In my opinion it has reached a level of stability and usability that earns it the right to stay as is, GB2.3.5 and Sense 3.5, for anyone who wants to use it.

As for ICS, if I ever release a ICR rom, it will be a different one from this. I played around with the idea of releasing a One V based one, but in the end I decided to let it go and just feed the wifi fix to the community.

The reason is although I like trying out new stuff, I'm highly reluctant to release a not-fully-functional rom. And this will only happen when we get either a DS stock kernel leak, or (even better) the 3.0 htc kernel source.

So for now don't really expect a new rom from me (unless I make a worthy breakthrough). I'll keep testing the ICS builds and try to contribute to the community, but that's it for now.

Cheers

Taraaaannnnnn! V3.5

Ok Guys,

Not groundbreaking stuff. Mostly just cleaned up Control Centre, added the swipe to remove notifications feature, updated all themes to also support it, and updated some apps.

Oh, and new kernel with SIO Io Scheduler plus some others (see, I listen).

Facebook for HTC patch didn't make the cut, as it broke FriendStream.

Cheers
