Hi!
My Hero has had problems with the trackball not working for a couple of months but I haven't been bothered by it since I never use it. Lately however, the trackball (or it's sensors on the board) seems to have gotten a life of it's own. It's constantly scrolling upwards making it impossible to navigate in menus and send text messages.
I've read many many threads about people wanting to completely disable the trackball but noone seems to have any idea on how. I've also tried cleaning. If anyone knows about a solution to make the trackball not load when the basic IO functions loads I would be very happy indeed. The problem is not ROM specific since the scrolling occurs in the recovery menu as well.
If it's not possible to "deactivate" it I'm curious if you think it would be possible to write a tiny little background app that listens for the trackballs MotionEvent, catches it, does nothing and then returns true as if the handler in the background app took care of all the work and thus overrides the scrolling that would happend in the browser, menu or whichever context you are in?
The method I've been looking at is: public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)
What do you think?

Maybe its just too much kernel compiling talking, but I would just kill it the kernel level - sounds easiest to me
Let me know if you want me to look into this, and nag me if I forgot....
Killing this at kernel level would be fantastic if its possible. You would be more than welcome to have a look at this.
I have no knowledge of where to start looking since I know very little about any kernel. I am very interested in learning more though so if you do not have time at the moment I would be very glad if you could provide some pointer on where to start looking.
This would be amazing if possible, my guess would be the kernel too.
I was using all the time at first, but now it's more of a hassle than anything else.

Ok, I'll try to get around to it in the next couple of days, bump this or even PM me if I forget.
In the meantime if you want to get your hands dirty in kernel code, heres the section about "my" sources from my flykernel post:

Kernel Sources
My sources with all my updates and changes are found on github:
http://github.com/erasmux/hero-2.6.29-flykernel
Use hero_defconfig for the regular version and hero-bfs_defconfig for the BFS version.
See the wiki for more information about building the kernel. Another great resource about kernel building is the cyanogen wiki - do note that currently the CM kernel will not work on the hero.
Please feel free to contact me regarding my sources and kernel development.

I've now found a solution to this that I'm testing out. I've recompiled FlyKernel with a small customisation and it seems stable enough. PM me if you want to see the change or need a flashable zip.

፨ FAQs ፨
Q: How do I root and/or unlock my bootloader?
A: bigdaddy619 has a guide that will take you from stock to having an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root access. His guide is located here.
Q: Is there a dev S-OFF method?
A: There are currently three methods to obtain S-OFF. One is unlimited.IO's method, DirtyRacun , the other one is Facepalm by jcase and beaups. If you are running 3.16.651.3 use Moonshine by fuses, beaups, and hyuh. Finally, if you're on 3.17.651.4 use rumrunner by beaups and fuses. Thanks to bigdaddy619 for informing me about Moonshine and rumrunner.
Q: I ran HTCDev unlock/S-OFF but now when I boot I get a disclaimer in red letters by HTC, can I get rid of it?
A: Indeed. regaw_leinad made a zip to run through your Bootloader that gets rid of the red disclaimer text. Check out his thread here.
Q: I'm rooted, can I still take OTA updates?
A: While it will not cause harm to your device you will lose root and all apps dependant on it will cease to function. It is recommended to wait until until a stock rooted version that can be flashed through recovery becomes available.
Q: I'm new to Android and I'm overwhelmed with all these terms, what an Hboot? What's a recovery or AOSP or a Nandroid? I'm completely lost. Help!
A: Relax, don't panic. om4 has you covered. He made a thread covering everything you need to know. Find it here.
Q: Will unlocking/rooting void my warranty?
A: Rooting and unlocking your bootloader is considered tampering your phone and can void your warranty. That being said, rooting is completely reversible and undetectable once done. If you unlock through HTC's unlocker it will void PARTS of your warranty with HTC and add a 'unlocked' tag to your bootloader.
Q: Is there a way to make it appear as though I never unlocked my bootloader?
A: If you are S-OFF, then regaw_leinad wrote a guide located here that will give you detailed instructions to get your phone back to S-ON and revert the ***LOCKED*** flag in the bootloader.
Q: I see guides telling me to do a battery pull or my phone is stuck. Do I have to open up my phone to battery pull? Thanks to poison1916.
A: Of course not. Simply press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. You will see the capacitive buttons flash and then your phone will restart as if you did a battery pull on devices with a removable battery.
Q: What is the difference between root, S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader?
A: regaw_leinad made an in depth post here. If you have time, read it -- you will learn a lot. Otherwise here's the summed up version:
S-OFF allows complete control over your device, it will grant you access to all NAND protected partitions on your device.
Unlocked Bootloader (through the HTCDev unlock) is a "lite" version of S-OFF, it will allow you to flash a recovery and through it, a custom ROM. Zips that are attempted to be flashed through the bootloader will still need to come from HTC. UPDATE: Newer Hboot versions limit what can be done through the bootloader, please exercise caution when updating your Hboot version.
Root is not related to the NAND partitions at all, instead it grants you complete control over the OS (Android) itself. It will let you write and edit any file you wish. This lets you run apps like Titanium Backup and Adblock that need to either access or edit system files.
Q: Will all kernels work with all ROMs?
A: No. Sense-based kernels will only work with Sense based ROMs and non-Sense (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, etc.) will only work with non-Sense kernels. It is also important to note that kernels built for one version of Android will usually not work on others. Read the OP of the kernel you wish to flash to make sure it is compatible with your ROM.
Q: Why is multitasking so aggressive? My apps are being killed off quickly.
A: HTC has stated that this is working as they intended (source). Most ROMs have addressed this issue and you should receive better multitasking while running them. For default Android multitasking, consider using a non-Sense ROM like CyanogenMOD or AOKP.
Q: My data connection is slow or it disconnects and roams randomly, any fix?
A: This doesn't have one concrete answer since there are multiple reasons why data connections are acting up. Sprint could be doing maintenance to a tower near you, call them and verify. It is also possible that the connection at your location simply is not good, there is nothing that can be done in this situation. If you know that your connection should be better or your phone is randomly acting up a solution is to re provision your phone. You can go to a Sprint store and ask a tech to do it for you or follow my instructions here. Failing all that, your phone could have a hardware problem.
Q: My proximity sensor is not acting normally, is my unit defective?
A: First of all, make sure that your screen protector does not cover up your sensor. If that is not your issue you can do a proximity sensor test by launching your dialer and typing *#*#3424#*#* this will launch HTC's test menu and you can test your proximity sensor there to determine if it's working properly. Some ROMs remove the test menu, if using the dialer code does not work, flash a stock ROM.
Q: Google Wallet say my device is not supported, why?
A: This is a normal message that shows if you are rooted. wwjoshdew made a post and video here demonstrating Wallet working despite the unsupported message. It is safe to ignore.
Q: Wallet tells me my secure element is not responding, how do I fix this?
A: There is no known fix except to get a new device. Reports from other phones that run Wallet and ran across this error (HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus, etc.) say that the only way to have Wallet functionality again is to get a new device. I have a thread started here that will give more information as well as educate you on what not to do with your replacement device. UPDATE: While there is nothing that can be done for phones with a broken secure element, this should no longer occur with the newer version of Wallet.
Q: If my secure element is not working, can I still use NFC?
A: Yes. If you are okay with not using Wallet then there is no need to replace your device as stated above. A secure element error will only bar you from using secure apps (only Wallet at the moment) but NFC is still fully functional.
Q: Does a 64GB micro SD card work on our phones?
A: Yes. There are a couple of users in this thread confirming that it works.
Q: Where can I find missing apps from HTC like Flashlight and Notes?
A: Flashlight can be found in the HTC hub. If you no longer have the HTC hub app, downsouthballa posted it here. The notes app cannot be found in the Hub but puertoblack2003 ported it over and can be found on his thread.
Q: How can I change what app opens certain links/actions?
A: Due to a patent dispute by Apple, HTC has changed the way certain links are handled, basic apps like SMS and browser can be selected by going to settings> app associations and selecting the default app. Most ROMs have restored original functionality, however if you are still running stock steal25 made a mod located here.
Q: How can I change which shortcuts show on the default lockscreen?
A: The default HTC lockscreen will show the icons that are placed on the default launcher's dock. Simply put the apps you want there and it will reflect on your lockscreen.
Q: Why are my pictures smaller than 8MP?
A: This is done by default with the camera to 'fit' the pictures you take to your screen without having you zoom in. It crops the top and bottom part of your photos to make them widescreen instead of the default 4:3 ratio. To fix this simply launch your camera app and touch the settings icon> Camera options> Widescreen (untick).
Q: Why are my pictures saved to the internal phone storage and how can I force it to save to the SD card?
A: When you first launched your camera app (assuming you had an SD card in) it should have asked you if you wanted to save to the SD card. Either way, the problem is easily fixed within the camera settings or by going to Settings> Storage> App storage locations and choosing Storage card for each option.
Q: What's with the black bar with three dots on certain apps?
A: That is the menu button, since HTC did not add a hardware button Android automatically fixes the issue by placing an onscreen button. This shouldn't show up on apps that are updated for ICS, however. If you have an unlocked bootloader runandhide05 made a mod that remaps your hardware keys and gets rid of the on screen bar. Check out his thread here. Some ROMs already have a way to remap hardware keys, in that case this mod is not needed.
Q: Why can't I set different volume levels for ringtones and notifications?
A: This is not a device issue, rather an OS issue. ICS "links" the notification and ringtone volumes into one. Some people have found that using Volume Control + from the Play Store fixes the problem (but you do have to set the volumes within the app).
Q: Is it possible to charge my device while using the kickstand?
A: Yes the kickstand can support the phone's weight on either orientation. Take a look at this image.
Q: I can't send pictures using Android Beam, I touch both phones together and it makes the 'link' sound and vibrates but then nothing happens, is something wrong?
A: NFC is not intended for large amounts of data to transfer through it. It would take too long (about 2.5 minutes for an 8MB picture). It's only meant for text transfer which in turn can prompt the phone to do other things such as sharing contact cards, webpage links, market apps and such. UPDATE: The Jellybean update has expanded on this functionality, it now allows you to initiate a picture/video transfer if you tap two devices together. To get around the above issue when Beam detects that you want to send over a picture/video it will automatically turn on bluetooth, pair the devices, send the data and turn off bluetooth.
Q: How do I take a screenshot?
A: Hold down the power button and press the home button on the stock ROM. Some ROMs might change this, consult with your ROM's dev.
Q: I'm getting horrible battery life and my phone will not go into deep sleep while I'm on Wi-Fi?
A: This problem is easily corrected by disabling "Best Wi-Fi Performance" under Wi-Fi settings.
Q: Certain games/apps that require multi touch will not work correctly. Is our phone capable of multitouch?
A: Yes our phone is capable of detecting multiple screen touches. By default the phone ships with a setting that only detects 2 inputs for apps and 3 for sense. Go into Settings> Display and turn HTC Gestures off. I made a video demonstrating what happens with the setting on and off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w38TwrLu90w
Q: I did the above fix but I am still having multitouch issues at times, did I do something wrong?
A: If you have a third party lockscreen, such as Widgetlocker or Go Locker, some people have reported issues with multitouch. You have to enable "Retain System Keyguard" Widgetlocker has this setting under Advanced. Once you apply both fixes install a multitouch test app from the market and test your phone. It should be able to handle ten points simultaneously.
Q: Is there a way to move application data (such as huge game files) to the SD Card instead of the phone storage?
A: The best way to do this is to swap the mount point between your internal storage and your SD card. This tricks the phone into thinking that your SD card is the storage that came with the phone and will automatically store everything there. For Sense you can download a flashable zip on maxdamage2122's thread. If you are running CM10 then check out this other thread by maxdamage2122.
Q: What's the best ROM for me? I want a mod that does X, Y, or Z where can I find it?
A: djR3Z keeps a great updated list of all the different resources for our phones. His thread is located here.
Q: NFC doesn't work when my screen is off or locked, is it broken?
A: By default NFC will not work when your screen is turn off or your phone is locked. However, there is a mod by StephanSch which lets you use NFC with the screen off or on your lockscreen (or both) his thread is here.
Q: Why does my camera open slower when I use the physical camera button?
A: It is unknown exactly why, but speculation seems to be that adding a delay to launching the app from the hardware button will prevent the camera from turning on accidentally in your pocket and wasting battery. If you still want to take quick pictures without unlocking your phone, set a camera shortcut on your lockscreen (also works on third party ones like Widgetlocker) and then simply 'unlock' to the app, it will instantly launch the camera.
Q: What is NFC? What can I do with it?
A: NFC stands for near field communications and it allows our devices to communicate with other devices and objects through a radio frequency. This could mean anything from pairing two devices together, transferring small amounts of data or executing a task or event. For example you can use NFC tags to toggle wi fi on or off when you are home. Check out this thread to see what apps to use and where to purchase tags.
Q: Does our phone have a RGB LED?
A: No. HTC is still only providing their newer phones with a green/amber LED. So applications that let you customize the 'color' of the LED won't fully work as blue is missing which is a primary color (for additive combinations, like light) required to make all other colors.
Q: Can we pair Wii motes or other bluetooth controllers?
A: Yes. The stock ROM works out of the box and sense based ROMs using HTC's newest bluetooth stack will work as well.
Q: I ran the RUU 3.15.651.16 but my ROM/radios did not update only my HBOOT did, how can I fix this?
A: First of all, if you are just reading over this thread and haven't actually RAN this RUU, then do NOT do it. If you want jellybean then just flash a stock Jellybean ROM. Now then, if you are having this issue, rollerpig has a potential fix in his thread located here.
Q: My question isn't answered here, what can I do?
A: Well that depends on what your situation is. Here are a couple of helpful tips, though:
If your question is a general one about the phone (how do I X?) then first SEARCH the forums. Try different key words. If that doesn't answer your question, feel free to make a new thread.
If you require immediate help you can always try dropping in IRC and see if anyone is willing to give you a hand. PLEASE NOTE: IRC is not there to provide 1-on-1 help. People will most likely help, but it is not expected. Don't spam with "PLEASE HELP I BRICKED MY PHONE!". Be courteous and patient.

Rule of thumb is to never take OTAs if you want to root. I recommend you root unlock the bootloader (either HtcDev unlock or S-OFF) and then flash pre-rooted versions of the newer Stock ROM once someone releases a version. This will ensure you keep root forever.

Nope you will be fine Wimax keys were stored in a different partition back in the OG Evo and the 3D, this is no longer the case with 4G.

Make sure the zip you downloaded is not corrupted, check that the MD5 hash matches if it is provided or simply try to re download the zip. Sometimes it might take a bit longer than expected so just give it some time
Well, that time has come. I feel like our ROM is stable enough that I can finally proide support for it without you guys (unintentionally) clogging up the dev thread.
If you have a question, POST IT HERE. If you want to ask about install issues, how to get into devving, or rabid toasters, POST IT HERE. I am closing off the dev thread now that this is created. If you post there without a constructive helpful comment (I will put up criteria there), you will get yelled at, beaten, and sent to slink back to your hole from whence you came.
Okay, now that that's over, I will be providing support in this thread. I am not mean, scary, nasty, or like to drown puppies for fun, despite what the impression the above may give you. I am actually a very helpful person (as most pre-existing members here will agree), and will try to help you, even if you think it's a stupid question.
One rule here: Search first!
I cannot emphasize how important this is. As I said, I am more than happy to answer questions, but for the love of god please don't post something like "wherez the ICS guyzz, I don;t see it in this thrad, this forum sukks". Please use search first before posting. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Well, have fun, and I will answer any questions you have (even if they don't directly relate to ICS).

Well, answering questions is not a "burden" more than it is something not 100% relevent to our dev thread, which (unfortunately) sometimes gets us off on a tangent. This way, I can help you guys, and we can still be productive in the original thread. Even if your question isn't relevant, pop me a PM, and I will be happy to help you, as long as you have researched first (meaning not stuff like "where's the stock rom"?).

Between devs yes, we use Gtalk on a daily basis, and has been invaluable in getting work done quickly. It would be interesting to use skype and/or Gtalk for support, although we would need a dedicated account for that (and we are currently locked out of our Nova Gmail account, because we forgot the password ).
Not trolling here, but just wondering. Since when did discussion become development? Shouldn't this be in general?
In our one s forums all discussion threads are in the general section.

This is a subsection of our development thread, and while it may be better placed in general, it is best here, as we remove the chance of people who create accounts just to complain, and we obtain easier access for users. Plus, I believe I may have an idea to put the community to work, I just need to polish it a bit more.

is this version (3.5) already better than the GB Roms out there? or is it better for domeone like me who likes gaming and music to stay on my current rom until HW and such things are fixed?
btw im using dream Ultra right now because my device makes weird noises when im using other roms

I would hold off, but only for a little while longer, there are a few details (market download fix and proper sdcard support) that need to be added into the next ROM build so you don't have to ADB push things or use terminal to enter code after every boot, once those issues are fixed then it should be a good daily. But, if your comfortable and know how to ADB push files and stuff like that then go for it, just remember you WILL be charging it EVERY night due to the deep sleep bug inherited from the CM7 kernel that was used as the base for our CM9 kernel.

Is it possible to fix that deep sleep bug?
My milestones that need to be crossed for daily usage would be:
H/W Acceleration
SD Card fixed (internal and external)
Deep Sleep
Everything else either has already been added/fixed (Voodoo!!! Beats removed and optional ) or I could wait for (bluetooth, camera, gps).
You guys are doing a great job though, can't wait for the next build to see how you guys are doing.

once oisis gets his sgp 4.0, he can port a 3.0.x kernal and all these will will be fixed.

if/when Oisis gets a 3.0.x kernel up and going (after he gets his player) hopefully the deep sleep bug will be no more, since its a carry over from the CM7 base kernel and if we have a new kernel that should solve that issue, and should get us to where bluetooth, camera and H/W acceleration could all be possible aswell.
Han, while we wait for Oisis to get his player and do his magic can we get one more build that has the fixed vold.fstab to have both internal and external memory working normally without having to ADB push files to the player and the market fix (if there's an easy way to do it)?

A build with a fixed vold.fstab is possible but for the market fix, this is something related to the initrd that actually needs one more line of code for it to be activated lool.

Hold up a sec, I'm unsure of the situation a bit here... does oisis HAVE a Samsung Galaxy 4.0?
If not, I'm willing to toss a couple Tens his way (won't mention how much here) with a stipulation. I'm talking about Amazon Credit (which I have alot of) here... An Amazon gift card (via email) would have to be used as Amazon being the purchase website. PM me if there is an interest oisis if this is the case of you not having an actual SGP 4.0 ...
Edit: Ok, I just read that oisis actually did order one from China (?) but if it takes too long I'm still willing to help money wise if needed for any of these great 4.0 devs here developing the ICS rom

A file explorer? I think I will just fix the kernel so that the drmserver can work on boot. As for the vold.fstab, I cleaned all my repo so it will take a long time before I can get one, I will get it more presumably on the weekend.

Yeah a file explorer (file browser) so I can access the LEGALLY obtained .apk's I've collected from the developers websites, to install them. for whatever reason there is NO file browser app in this CM9.
Hello,
I´ve done some testing to figure out what causes the "wake up lag" on the latest Samsung JB 4.3 Firmware. This Firmware is unfinished as many of you may have noticed.
There are a few missing features or semi broken.
Ok, let´s start with some notices, on some devices you can notice a wake up lag when trying to wake your phone up. It may take several seconds for the screen to appear and to react.
There are a few possibilities to at least greatly reduce the wakeup time:
You´ll need to have a rooted Firmware installed and Trickster Mod ( any similar app will also work ).
These are the methods I´ve tried and figured out:
1) Some people suggest to change the used CPU governor from PegasusQ to ondemand.
While this actually helps to reduce the lag, it is a very bad idea. Ondemand is a generic governor in the linux kernel and does not support CPU Hotplugging. This will result in either a way to big battery drain since the cores will tend to run at full speed most the time, even in idle situations or severe lags.
2) Samsung introduced in the JB 4.2.1 , 4.2.2 and now 4.3 Firmware the usage of zRAM to his kernel.
While zRAM can actually help to improve multitasking, it also needs some extra cpu power which can also cause a higher battery drain. ( which would be very low and not noticeable at all if implemented the right way )
You can disable zRAM with Trickster Mod or any other, similar app. I´ve noticed that by doing this, the wakeup lag was greatly reduced and nearly gone. It takes about 1-2 seconds for the screen to turn on again.
To make sure you´ve disabled zRAM, use a terminal emulator and type "free".
3) Use an alternative kernel: Samsung has released the required kernel sources for JB 4.3 very fast this time.
Yank555, a well known and skilled developer has already built the first custom kernel for JB 4.3. By installing this kernel and using a different cpu governor than PegasusQ ( eg. zzmoove ), you will also notice a greatly reduced wakeup lag and also a better battery consumption.
Get this kernel directly from Yank555 here, you´ll have to create a forum account first:
http://yank555-lu.net/viewtopic.php?p=3#p3
Notice: If this kernel breaks your root, you´ll have to install this package again:
http://download.chainfire.eu/345/
Hopefully you´ll manage to reduce the wakeup lag by trying my methods
Feel free to leave your comments and tell me what worked out best for you.
Creating a separate forum and not releasing sources as gpl for one kernel is such a lame ass move.
Yes, i feel great improvement with Yank's kernel about wake up lag.
Thx for the info
Hi Victorator,
Please don't judge about this topic when you don't know the history and why yank made this decision. If you followed other kernel threads you had seen that yank is a role model when it is about helping and sharing.
Best regards,
Matt

Yank? He shares more than anybody here. Everyone uses his zzmoove setup. Plus, he used to have a thread here before AndreiLux kept on harassing him. That was the last straw for him.
It's his decision to not post here. It kinda sucks but we should respect it at least.
I also noticed if you are using WiFi - change advanced settings - set from DHCP to Static.
There was still a small screen on lag (about 1 second) but significantly less then with DHCP.

Accidentally press thanks button on the post above. Annoying xda app.
Big plus 1 for your comments. Wonder if OP got permission from yank to post his kernel here. Whatever the reasons and whatever arguments involved, we should respect his decision which clearly stated in his forum. Furthermore, this thread doesn't belong here imho, no development thus should be in general.

JP doesn´t mind if I post a link to his forum, for the guys who want to use his kernel. However, he doesn´t accept hot links directly to his webspace or alternative links to other webspace..
I respect his work and have mentioned his kernel in a way which is acceptable to all of us. Just in case JP doesn´t want his work to be mentioned, I´m going to remove the link to his forum.

Could someone test something ???
I disable the LockScreen and know when i push the power button my screen opens immediately.
I use this LockScreen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy
The result is when i push the power button my screen opens immediately
So maybe the problem with lag is the LockScreen ???

There doesn't seem to be lags with dialer or gallery. I use the S4 gallery as a replacement to the default 4.3 gallery app that came with the update..
both of them seem to work perfectly fine..

And that's what is perfectly managed with Sir yank's kernel.

Use opera mini or another browser that gives you an ip number instead of your own, I had the same issue.
AFAIK, OnDemand does Hotplug, it does on the S4.
Hi. Which goverors are available if I use Trickster Mod (or similar) with the stock 4.3 kernel? As you write that ondemand is not good, is there any govenor available which solves the wakeup delay and is recommended?
I´m just searching for a slim solution to eliminate that wakeup delay, I don´t want to flash a custom kernel.
Thanks fpr help

Dont be so judgemental people. This guy tried to bring some Nougat love to us and instead got all the hate. I dont think asking what is the differences between this ROM and Seraph08's ROM is appropriate. But I do agree when posting ROM it is nice to have some info ahead of time
I can't believe fingerprint drama is still exist but hey! God gave us 10 fingers on the hands and not just 1
I always wonder what people hide in their phones that make them add more then 1 finger print It better be some hot girls nude photos
But I am not here to judge. Just being silly flashaholic :highfive: :silly: :victory:
Thanks for the ROM @sycolon
To register multiple fingerprints on any CM14 builds (I am using Grarak's build & have tried it on my own build):
1. Setup phone with 1 finger print
2. Go to Settings->Security to add additional fingerprints
3. When prompted to scan your finger, DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE SENSOR - LONG PRESS THE FINGER PRINT ON THE SCREEN
4. It will prompt you to asking you to scan the finger print
5. Now place the finger on the scanner and it works!
Noticed battery/notification lights can't be changed to anything other than stock colors.. No errors, just doesn't change. Used multiple builds.. Likely known, just throwing it out there.

I totally agree with you that all developers should get love and not hate since their efforts make our lives better, but please excuse me, how on Earth is asking for information inappropriate? Asking someone for information is what differentiates us from the apes.
I know XDA have rules prohibiting "Is A or B better?" questions, but it's perfectly normal to ask what the objective differences between the ROMs are, especially since many devs don't provide this info in the OP. For example, if one ROM has working GPS and the other ROM doesn't, that is perfectly neutral and objective information.
With all my humble respect to all developers, I think it's much more inappropriate to publish ROMs on XDA (=public domain) without listing the known bugs in the OP, and taking the "flash-and-see-for-yourself"-approach.
If you, as a developer, choose to use a public domain like XDA to publish your work, please be transparent and take 5 minutes of your time to honestly list all your achievements and failures.
If you choose not to, you have no right to be mad at people asking those questions over and over and over again.
And imho this applies to all devs, including the current one as well as @Seraph08 as well as any other %username%. All I'm asking for is honesty and transparency, and I truly believe with all my heart that's not asking for too much.
I remember back in the days of Android 2 this was an unwritten code all devs on XDA went by.
But then competition got high and someone discovered he'd get more community creds if he kept quiet about his failures...

I think you misunderstood the concept of adding additional fingerprints The more FPs you add, the more fingers you can use to unlock the phone, which makes phone easier to unlock. If you have 10 FPs added, you can unlock your phone with any of them, not by using them all xD
