That's still strange because mdj posted some file info on a shot he took at 20Mbps and it recorded at 29fps. So there probably shouldn't be any lag even at max bitrate. Im just waiting for Lee to implement it into his kernel so i can test it too.
[Desire HD Android Development] Marioaguado:
Hello I'm using the latest Lee ROM and the Kernel without the vocie recording, everything is perfect, just one point when I check the battery stats it appears in the Sensor the the Dialer is always using battery continues

Someone knows if that is normal if not how to stop it or fix this issue?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] ronny130286:
thx 4 link
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
No it is not normal, but lots of people have reported it. Some will advise to disable call recorder and then delete it using titanium backup. Every time I have done this, it has made the situation worse, so I just leave it disabled without uninstalling it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Software Guru:
Morning guys, IMO the current setup I have seems to give me so very good battery life and my device is smooth and responsive, so happy that I went out and bought an ADAM tablet for an unbelievable price, now to have this rom running on that would be amazing, however already managed to get 72!! hours battery life running a honeycomb based rom on it. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Marioaguado:
I install the kernel without the call recording, then I deactivate the Call Recording settings and then uninstall it using titanium but still using to much, any Idea?

When I check for more info it says:

Dialer included packages:

Dialer Storage

Field test

SIM Toolkit

Phone

I wonder if any of these packages are consuming battery?

Thanks

I'm using 2.5.1.3. Should I be using a newer version?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i did this to fix this:

1. Uninstall call recorder app

2. Reflash the kernel.

3. When you first boot now do not give call recorder app ay rights

4. Uninstall it with titanium

Before point 1 you should deactivate recording in the call recorder app settings
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
Yes you should.. it's recommended.
[Desire HD Android Development] Xzar:
Thanks everyone for your help. Updated to latest cwm recovery and was able to install the battery circle!

So, those of you running full on ext4: Is there a noticable speed difference, compared to ext3? I'm a bit bored and considering a full wipe to ext4, but still, it's a bit of work setting up everything again, so can't be bothered unless there's really something to it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] baltazar.nilsson:
Never mind, question been answerd by @tapps
[Desire HD Android Development] Marioaguado:
Thanks question

uninstall then reflash then uninstall (how to uninstall if it is already uninstalled)

Thanks

Edit: Sorry when reinstall Kernel Call Recorde appears again.
[Desire HD Android Development] KamikaZeeFu:
It feels really fast. Installing is really easy, make a full backup with titanium, and just restore all apps with data.

Since there is a lot of discussion in regards to battery drain, especially for call recorder and Sense 3 staff. I made this short guide on how to take accurate before/after comparisons and draw your own conclusions in regards to what is and what isn't high battery drain. It's not very formal but I hope it helps:

How to make battery usage comparisons

​

What you will need:

1) CurrentWidget (download from market)

2) PC with Excel

3) Recommended: Dropbox (it will allow you to transfer your logfiles to PC for analysis faster and easier)

Establish a baseline:

Establishing a baseline is essential in order to serve as a means for comparing different battery value measurements. In order to make this as accurate as possible, we should try to use the same conditions during measurements so follow the steps below:

1) Reboot your phone and don’t start any application (allow a minute for your phone to relax)

2) Go to CurrentWidget menu, clear previous log, configure to log every 30secs and start logging for 30 or 60 minutes (whatever you can afford – but you will have to allow the same time at your next measurements)

3) Leave your phone at a place where you will not move it during the period of measurement. (we want to avoid fluctuations which may arise due to radio signal change so that our measurement will be as accurate as possible)

4) After 30 minutes take your phone and stop logging. Send the log file to your PC, either via dropbox or via email.

5) Import the data in Excel and trim the top entries in case you have logged for more than 30 minutes so that you have exactly 30 minutes (trimming the top is better because at those seconds your phone display was on and consuming more energy). You have to use the same strategy later as well. Unfortunately you’ll have to manually cut the mAh text so that you have only numbers but that won’t take more than a few minutes.

6) In Excel, estimate the average value of your column. That number will serve as your baseline. It is the average current consumption of your phone after a reboot and while your phone is idle. Any changes above or lower than this value and while the same conditions exist will give you a clear indication of gain or loss.

Install an app to evaluate, Sense 3, or use call recorder

After you have established your baseline, you can make changes to your phone which you want to evaluate and compare weather they consume more battery or not. For example, you want to find out if Sense 3 or call recorder (after a call) will drain your battery. You could install Sense 3 and then proceed to the next step.

Compare new values with baseline:

After you have made the necessary changes to your phone, restart your phone again and follow EXACTLY the same procedure as you did for your baseline. Then compare the new average value with baseline to make an estimate of the difference.

I have no idea if Netflix for Android uses Adobe Flash, but I am happy to try your suggestion. HOwever the Flash Player doesn't show an uninstall button. What would be the correct way of uninstalling it?
[Desire HD Android Development] LeeDroid:
Lookin good ;)

Got a few things to address..

FYI. The A2SD+ guys, yes you can use ext4 on your sdext.

I will have the kernel camera drivers patched with increased bitrates asap!

As for the call recording patch, it is going to cause more drain for the time being, hopefully avs333 will come up.with something.

Another busy family day today, catch yall tonights ;)

Hey guys,been off the thread since page 515,so sorry if it's been asked!Studying's been killing me lately... :(

So,I have a problem with Sense 3 weather.It syncs ok,info shows up both on the widgets and on the lockscreen,but when I enter the app,although the info is there,no video of the weather plays.I also went into preview mode(where it shows all the weather videos and none show there also).I tried reflashing the 3 weather,flashing the original videos(standard weather has videos reencoded by seo),clearing dalvik-cache and cache,but still no joy.Any ideas?

Also Lee,did you see MDj's kernels?They support like 20mbps 720p video recording.Any chance that,you know,do some of your magic on the subject?I tried his kernel but hell,it's not LeeDroid! ;)

EDIT:Just saw above post...Ok,you got me covered on my second point Lee! :p
[Desire HD Android Development] LeeDroid:
I was under the assumption flash was working for all now? Mine certainly is and so is BBC iplayer, I can't use netflix as its US only.

Did you full wipe before flashing?

Sent from my LeeDrOID loaded Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
MDJ just posted that he got it up to 28mbps at 29fps ;) My class 2 won't be able to keep up! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
You can do it from titanium
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
that's why i have a point 4. you even quoted it. after reflashing the kernel DO NOT ALLOW callrecorder app su rights and then use titanium to delete it!

just do exactly what i wrote and not just partially ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
lee, no i do not think anymore that it is the cal recording patch, i think it is the call recorder app. this app even makes trouble if you use your kernel without call recording patch. there is something this app activates but does not deactivates properly.

though it could be maybe be fixed within the kernel by introducing something like a timeout if we could narrow down what exactly it is.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
With the sense 3 goodies installed my bassline current draw is up between 1 - 2mA. I can live with that, considering how much nicer it looks :D
[Desire HD Android Development] coinstar:
It's true, I've removed call recorder from ROM and kernel, then a full wipe, reflashed the ROM and the kernel and now the problem is solved. I've tried all the suggestions but this was the only way I could solve my battery drain.
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
Thanks for all your help

every thing went fine as per your instructions

but phone still the same won't lock on to gps??

oh well lol

on another note i have to say my battery life is much improved after latest kernel

took of charge yesterday @ 9am calls and txts internet and surf 11pm last night 57% left

amazing :D
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Only 2? that's close to nothing. I haven't tried it yet but many people complained about high battery drain after the sense 3 patch.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Just wondering, before full wiping and re-installing: Can I replace the transparent Rosie.apk with the non-transparent Rosie.apk from the patch in the ROM .zip, or will it cause boot loops doing it that way?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Then efs must have been irrelevant to your problem.

In what country are your located? maybe unlike me, if you are in a bigger country you could try the faster gps fix app to help your phone obtain direct fix from the satelites closer to you.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
It's hard to tell as the device is already fast enough for my daily use. If it means anything, I got a score of 2500+ (@1.6 GHz) on Quadrant - highest ever for my device. It certainly doesn't do any harm to have Ext4 on all partitions including cache. I have not installed the IO patch btw, Quadrant score would go higher but the bug it causes is not worth it.
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
That should be fine dude.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Use Titanium Backup.
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Good post. I've been extensively testing the battery issue as well - sorting the myth from reality. Three things I'd add this this.

1. The point about leaving your phone at a place where it won't be moved is really important. One of the big factors affecting battery drain is the exact location and orientation of the phone. So, always place the battery in the same place and same orientation.

2. Unfortunately, the time of day also affects the drain as well for me, so I have had to run my experiements are the same time during the day which slows testing down but improves reliability of the test.

3. I discussed CurrentWidget with the developer and it doesn't log when the phone is sleeping. Therefore, it is not statistically accurate simply to average the values as described above. For example, if you have a -1mA followed 10 minutes later by one -100mA, your average will incorrectly be -50.5mA. If you have ten lots of -1mA followed by -100mA, your average will more accurately be -10mA. This is one of the problems of making statistical sense of discrete intermittent readings. I don't have a "fix", but you improve accuracy, I suggest something like looking for gaps in the log and setting the gap to -1mA. Then do your average. The developer said that he's going to change the app to allow logging even when sleeping, though AFAIK that would mean preventing sleeping which would skew the results.

hth

Try to clear data on HTC Sense. It helped me with the problem for the clock not showing. You have to setup your home page links again though :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Anyone done a nandroid restore? Can't get it to work in the following situation:

- ext4

- latest rom and kernel

- nandroid backup

- fire up recovery

- mount system and data

- nandroid restore

hangs at HTC logo

re-doing the ext4 stuff between "fire up recovery" and "mount system and data" doesn't work either.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Alright, installing ROM now, after using the fullwipe ext4 .zip - I'm good to use that without mounting everything first, right?

And how do I check that I indeed have ext4 afterwards, and not just ext3 mounted as ext4?

Oh, and after applying my UOT mod, do I need to re-flash the "ext4 cache" .zip? I'm a bit confused about all that stuff :P
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Yeah I noticed your point 3 as well but I said it's just a bug and let's wait for it to be fixed. I'm sure it affects acuracy though but I don't expect to compare values like 41 to 45 but 41 to 141. That would definitely mean something.

I don't understand your point 2 though. Why do you think the time of day would affect your measurement?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
I don't believe you can check this.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
I assume latest CWM right?

Maybe worth trying to mount all volumes apart from system and data only? (Just a thought)

I am worried if ext4 plays its role here. It would be helpful if anyone who has restored after full ext4 answers here.
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
With the app Android System Info you can check. Click the System tab and click Mount points.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
But doesn't this give you the same info the "mount" command gives in terminal? (which is the mount points but not the actual file system)?
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
Emm.. yeah you're probably right.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Download "GPS Status" from the market and take a look at the info it provides. You can see how many satellites it locks on to among other things. I think it also downloads the ephemeris data file so your GPS fix may be faster after that.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
I installed it just out of curiocity and it just displays the mount type so it's the same info that you can get with mount command. I see my system volumes as ext4 although I haven't fully wiped so I'm not on ext4 yet.

It would be nice though to have an app to discover the real file system and I wonder why there isn't. I don't believe it must be too difficult to analyze this info.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
One way to check is to try flashing some stuff that doesn't have native Ext4 support without mounting system and data first. If it doesn't work you have true Ext4 on your device :p
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Good idea. Sadly it could be the only option at the time. :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Interestingly, the developer doesn't see it as a bug, but the force log even if sleeping option hopefully will appear at some point in the future.

No idea - but I have observed it. Maybe the signal's not so good during the day (drains less power at night)? Just guessing. The differences is around 4mA to 7mA, so both low numbers but definitely a difference.
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe ext4 format is not so problem-free as people are saying. Trying a few things out...
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Alright, I think everything is running as ext4 now, I even managed to restore my homescreens (bar the widgets) with MyBackup Pro.

Way too early to tell if I feel a speed increase or not though, but everything seems to be working, so that's nice :)

How about the "ext4 cache" .zip? Do I need to re-apply that one after flashing my UOT battery circle? Was a bit confused about that post from Spyr0s :P
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
you have to delete dalvik at least after flashing mods from uot.

you can use the cache clean zip as it also clears dalvik as i saw last time. but you also simply can use clear dalvik from cwm. no need to wipe cahce though
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Good, thanks :) Why is it necessary to wipe Dalvik though?
[Desire HD Android Development] c0de_junkie:
I think its because Dalvik holds remnants of the some of the this that you just flashed over and it can cause a conflict with the new stuff.....
[Desire HD Android Development] A5J4DX:
that is not what i was saying dude you read it wrong...

yeah but lee my question is how do i convert my current sd-ext3 to ext4?
[Desire HD Android Development] mero01:
Id recommend using GParted .

Follow those steps but format to ext4 instead of ext3 ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Marioaguado:
Hey Lee, remember the family is First!!! then the Android family :D

Will be nice if you can make a Kernel / ROM with totally removed everything related with the Call Recorder please!!!

Thanks see ya tonight

ext4 and nandroid restore

OK, I've tried two nandroid restores, both were backups of ext4 systems and neither worked. (Yes, mounted partitions in cwm.) Would someone be so kind as to confirm this or give instructions on how they restored (I'm probably missing something obvious)? TVM. Until then, I'm back on ext3 so be safe.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Still puzzled, has anyone managed to succesfully restore on FULL ext4?
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
I have mounted as ext4 (I think) and backed up a couple of themes and then nandroided back and forth between them a couple of times with no issues. Is it ext4? I have no idea, but when I flashed I followed everybody`s suggestions, used Lee`s ext4 wipe etc.

Be aware that the area of your sd card that you will format with anything but fat/fat32, will not be accessible from a Windows PC. On the other hand I see no reason why you should do this.

If you need to 'view' access the partition just use Linux Mint. Load up the live cd/dvd and access the SD Card. Mint will see any HDDs connected in the system from the live CD/DVD. So you should even be able to backup the linux partition. :D

Bit puzzled by these instructions. Here's what I did:

- Disable call recorder.

- Uninstall via TB.

- Reflash the kernel.

Your stage 3 and 4 seem to indicate that call recoreder is still installed at this stage, but it's already been uninstalled in point 1?

Well,the only time when I had problems with restoring nandroid backups was on Lee's Froyo rom.Too many corrupted ones.

I'd suggest Android File Verifier to check if your files are ok or corrupted from the comfort of your phone.Works everytime for me.And yes,I'm on full ext4. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Great! Even a disproved theory helps. :)

One question: when you restored, did you just do a restore, or did you re-wipe system, data and cache first and then restore?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
You have to full wipe and then restore but even if you don't it should work but you may face problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] SB13X:
Lee I hope you read this and just want to say you're a true legend. This ROM is phenomenal imho. A day and a half usage and still running 40% battery remaining, okay I had to stop call recorder and clear data and uninstall but still for everything else inlcuding the boot animation and the TV Anim. I'd say the first time I noticed it I almost wore my power button out locking and unlocking the phone lol. Simple things eh! Other than that just want to say you have another user indebted to your efforts and someone else who hopefully appreciates your work enough to continue to work through some of the negative feedback you might get!
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
Bad move! I didn't test for more than 30 minutes, but making this simple change - nothing else - resulted in an average current of about 7mA going to a surprisingly steady 41mA. One nandroid restore later and it's back to 7mA. So, for me, removing call recorder is a bad idea!

Hmm - exactly what I did. Oh well, no worries, because I went back to ext3 as every test I've done seem to indicate ext4 is no faster. (I do wonder if the ext4 options are actually being used?) At least with ext3, I don't have to think about doing anything unusal because it's all in cwm. :)
