NO NEXT

BUT I'll upload my source files and step-by-step guide on my github(https://github.com/luzifer1984). a few days later.

I'm Chinese,so I would not compile next ROM for WWE.

My next build is only support for HTC CN CHS.

You can build a rom from source. plz add zh_CN (Chinese Simplified) support. THX!

I havent tested this yet - I will this evening. but. if this works.. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR FIXING THE DIALPAD.

although I still think the "end call" onscreen button is not necessary.
We need to figure out how to map the End Call button(the red physical button) to end the call(if you havent already) and the number keys(physical keys) need to also input on the dialpad just as they do in CM9(again, havent tested yet. if they do, you're amazing.

)
The "Call" or Green physical button should call the number onscreen, or from the home screen it should open the recently called list.
If you can fix all this stuff(or have already) I'll give you money. lol

furkandeger · May 28, 2013

Am I dreaming? This is amazing news! WOW. WOW. Great. Need to test this asap! Hopefully someone build one for us using your source. To who that would make a build for us: do not forget TURKISH language please!

By the way, why not you make builds for EU, too? I mean, It shouldn't take some time for you to add a couple of more languages whenever you make a new build.

I didn't fix the screen layout of the dialpad. that have been fixed by CM10.1

furkandeger · May 28, 2013

I want to ask, are you working on front cam? All the problems other than front cam seems solvable to me.

atrix4g18 · May 29, 2013

So you have made to first custom kernel for the ChaCha?

Do you intend to work on the kernel? Because even if you don't update the ROM, but you keep the kernel source updated I can build it and make a flashable zip.

The battery life is probably a kernel issue right?

Edit: running it now. The slow wakeup bug from CM10 is fixed. Everything is great, except for battery. I hope there is a breakthrough with that. Thanks for the ROM!

So these updates include the fixes that OWLProject offers for Wildfire S? In this build of yours there is lag and now I see it is fixed in wildfire s.

Flashed this rom yesterday, looks some of the issues with CM 10 is fixed with 10.1.
If you are looking for gapps for 10.1, the slim version can be found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265564
I don’t see major issue with battery drain, it got discharged 25% after 12 hours of usage without wifi or data.
a) Lock screen is completely fixed with CM10.1 and fits wells within the screen
b) In call screen is neatly tailored for landscape
c) Apollo player works in landscape

Some of the things which needs fix
a) Caller id screen is overlapped, and it is very difficult see the caller info
b) Many of the popular application in playstore says ‘This item is not compatible with your device’ example ‘gmail’, ‘apex launcher ‘ etc
c) The proximity sensor is not working.

overall its superb rom, and it alomost complete rom. Thanks bro

Use any file manager, navigate to /system, look for the build.prop

Thanks to

Furkan DEĞER :

Turns out lcd density is set to 150, which should be 160. I changed it back to 160 and it solved my problem.

i figured that out few min back, i just changed the lcd density in build.prop and cleared the data/cache in playstore and it worked.

Thank you

Oh, I see so you have to work on a different kernel. I see. I want to ask something else. There are some lags, especially occuring in lockscreen and also on the system generally. I see in the wildfire s forums, this was a problem with the kernel and it was fixed a couple of days ago. You said you updated, kernel, device and vendor. Does that mean you applied this fix? Because, I'm setting up environment to build from your gits so, when I pulled the repo from you, will this fix be applied on the kernel?

I wonder, can we use the kernel from the other CM10 rom? would that fix any performance issues? it would likely result in some of the things fixed to be broken again(camera? I dunno) but in terms of battery life and whatnot, I wonder if it would work

That having been said - I tried out the rom, it's very fast, smooth, it does drain the battery faster, but its not -too- bad. I think this has to do with there being no options for governor(or at least, none that I could find)
The rom has fixed most of the layout issues with the ChaCha. The dial screen is very nice, and the physical keys input once again. The lock screen fits properly now too.

I'll definitely have to do some more testing, but theres a few things that need to be fixed still. One is the LCD density in the build.prop - it causes some issues with certain apps.

EDIT: I also just noticed that while the phone is locked, the cpu must get set to a lower clock speed or something. The phone is very slow to respond when you go to unlock it.

Using kernel-kitchen you can extract the ramdisk from the CM10 boot.img and then extract the zImage from the CM10.1 boot.img and then combine the resulting zImage and ramdisk. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I'll try it sometime this weekend.

well, I can't be positive as of yet, because I just installed it, but I just grabbed the CPU editor thing from here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846967

I set it to On-Demand, changed the minimum frequency a tiny bit higher than the default, and set the max to 800. So far it seems like its better on the battery, but again, just installed it like 20 minutes ago, so I'll have to give it some time in testing.

"Settings"--"About phone" AND press "Build number" 3times to enabled development settings .

then go back "Settings" ,there have show "Performance" .

AND in "Processor" you will see this rom default setting is On-Demand.

CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MAX=800000
CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MIN=122880

Yes, you are correct completely.

I also just noticed that while the phone is locked, the cpu must get set to a lower clock speed or something. The phone is very slow to respond when you go to unlock it."

that can be save power, I guess

I don't understand the "very fast, smooth" part. It is not like that for me. Rom is occasionally lagging. When scrolling especially. Sometimes it freezes completely. I believe it's kernel related.
