I'm running this ROM with ledroids kernel and for some reason I cannot connect to the camera...I open the ap and it is just black and after 30 seconds my phone reboots, any ideas? I tried switching from camcorder to camera....I'm mad now cuz I spent all day tweaking to my liking and the camera no work :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Leedroids kernel is for sense roms. You need an Aosp or cm7 kernel. To get the camera back you'll have to reflash rom.

I'm trying to figure out my battery drain issues. I would appreciate help from anyone. The way my phone is setup now is to shutoff data/wifi and only do a sync every fifteen minutes thanks to juice defender ultimate. I use current widget to track my battery and current usage especially during screen off. Last rom I had was ar4g 5.1.10 and with the screen off it ran at 2-4 amps. With this rom (and setcpu set to underclock to 240 MHz on screen off) its been around 4-8 and sometimes even 15-20 amps during screen off.

would anyone be willing to install current widget and track their screen off usage and report it back here (with both radios off preferably)? Thanks!!

PS what kind of battery life do you guys typically get? Last time I used this it was horrid for me but I want to try it again cuz aosp rocks!

And yes I know a lot of it depends on radio and other factors but I want to get a general idea...
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
The general idea is about 16 hours of battery. Seems about norm for the newer devices. More then one really needs but good enough for those working in the field and cant charge during the day
[HTC Inspire 4G] Numpangx:
Mine lasts from 16-36 hours. It depends if I lose signal or not.

Battery Life

I would be happy if I could get 16 hours of battery life. Are you running the recommended radio and Ril file? Any constant usage in an hour span would drain my battery at least 30%. I take my phone off the charger around 7am and I'm under 15% by 6pm.

That's about what I'm getting using the latest ATT radio (...06.30_M). This radio ideas meant for Froyo, so I'm considering flashing the one from the HTC Gingerbread build.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
Gingerbread Radio

I flashed the recommended Gingerbread radios for Leedroid when running the v.3.2.1. I had impressive battery life, but sacrificed download speeds. Kept the radio and flashed Gingerbeast and TPGB, but the call volume seemed to extremely low. However, I did not have the matching RIL file with radio once I returned from Leedroid.

Crackpipe?

Everyone knows Wade Phillips was too weak of a coach to get the boys over the hump. Only time will tell, and I will appear to be genius in January. :D.

Back on topic. Has anyone had success with gingerbeast and adding a second apn setting for increased download speed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Nope. Granted, I didn't test very long (wasn't convinced that it could help).

I added a Media Net APN with everything blank except the first field "apn", for which I put "Phone". (and selected it as the default)

Speeds seemed slightly better, but it could've been placebo. I was waiting to see more people with results before I tried again, because it didn't seem to help much. The difference I noticed though, is that while download speeds were slightly higher, upload speeds were not as consistent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
this used to happen to me and i get sick of it and got juice defender ultimate. i left it off the charger last night. it dropped 10% over the course of 7 hours which is fine by me (i think roughly what it should lose) however since then it's been using roughly the same amount of batteyr but if my screen is on, it's for only a minute or two. we'll see what happens later when i'm using it more heavily...

i wish i could get this kind of battery drain WITHOUT juice defender...but oh well. i called att and complained about my battery life so now they're sending me another one lol

EDIT: does anyone else here use a wired headset with their phone? i can't start voice dial or make/end calls using it anymore - it only controls the stock music player. im guessing this is how it works for the ROM but with the upcoming amazing update, could you try to restore the call functionality please? thanks :)

This is beyond crazy. I'm getting amazing batterry life. If someone told me that it was possible I'd probably say they're full of it. 5 1/2h screen on and still 38% left. Wow!!!

[HTC Inspire 4G] alaimar:
I honestly can't believe it myself. My main goal is good batterry life and its beyond anything I imagined. I don't blame you for not believing me it does sound crazy. I also just realized I was slightly under clocked to 768 max.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
That's me. I'm about 20min south of Philly.

Something isn't quite right. You should be getting MUCH better battery than any sense rom. My phone only goes down a few percent at night if that. Less than 1%/hour. I use no kinda juice defender apps or anything like it.

Try this- if you reflash the rom, don't install any kinda juice defender apps ogle anything like it. Try to leave it just like I have it when you first originally flash, with only apps you ABSOLUTELY need throughout the day, don't reinstall any for the first day if possible. I promise you will get great battery life. Then try to pinpoint what apps are causing any problems from there.

And alaimar- yup I usually average 5 hours + screen on time at default 1017, and I keep brightness pretty high

Nice! Wish i was getting that, might have a bad battery.. i must ask, are you using any juice defenders? and have you installed any launchers or clocks/running applications in the background?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
No f'ing way!!!!!! Amazing!!! Oh and whoever has the sig sent from the most interesting device in the world, mad props lol.

dilli I'll do that tomorrow. I was surprised at getting similar battery life to other sense roms when i first tried this. Btw gps in this rocks! I tried checking just the roms usage when I first flashed the rom again coming back from ar 5.1.10 waiting some time in between reinstalling apps but then again I had the wrong radio. I've still only installed my most necessary apps since then but I'm still having issues. Do you guys keep wifi on and full gmail contacts and calendar sync?

Off the top of my head I have current widget winamp Pandora Dropbox whatsapp wireless tether beautiful Widgets zazu and a few others. I'll see what happens tomorrow I guess and report back.

EDIT: LOL I also just remembered that I set my screen on max to 1.5 ghz on conservative. That needs to come down...

EDIT EDIT: I think my problem was that I never let it go into deep sleep because I always had an app like juice defender or atk (even though it didn't kill automatically) running that's drainedmy battery. I turned them both off so I'll figure this out tomorrow for sure if that's why...
[HTC Inspire 4G] alaimar:
I wiped everything off my phone and started fresh. I slightly underclocked and used uv script. Only widget is perfect widget home. I only installed my main apps and that's it. No juice of any kind. It ran so nice underclocked I didn't even realize it. Awesome ROM!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Not sure if you'd consider it a "major" difference. This is nearly stock Android OS as it comes from Google. CyanogenMod is a mild "skinning" of Android with a custom Launcher (ADSW), extended settings, and many other tweaks and add-ons that the CM7 community felt was worth adding.

CM7 is impressive, but I was getting some compatibility issues with some programs. I decided I wanted the "pure" Google experience, so I got this. Otherwise, both Roms run rather similar. It's a more a matter of preference.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:

Yw. I actually found another that looks a bit nicer IMO. If you like it let me know and I'll upload it. In regards on UC I ran it at 768 but It was a day that didn't require to much processing speed since I only ran my usual apps with no game use. I'm gonna try leaving the CPU stock and see what I can get out of it. I'll post a screenshot on my progress.

I have my underclocked as well, at the same 768000. I find this speed more than sufficient for my day to day tasks.

But even with that, 7 hours is kind of a distant distant distant dream. Could be cos I have a really bad signal at work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bclark:
I tend to keep mine right about stock clock-wise and can scrape out 5 hours but 7seems absurd, lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
So I think I found the cause. Advanced task killer seems to have kept my phone from going to real sleep and since then if my theory is right I'm getting double the battery life!
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Yah, I think you'll find just a

few

posts about how Task Killers are a serious no-no since Android 2.2 (Froyo) and later.

The majority of my battery usage is being used by Cell Standby at about 35%. Basically, my reception sucks at work, so the radio is running at full power to get reception. To its credit, I get reception when others don't, so I guess it's power well spent.

The other killers are screen (of course) and whatever 3d-accelerated game I was playing at lunch. All in all, the battery is still doing far better than stock.

[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Been running this ROM for a several days now. Battery is much better than stock. I am running Pro Launcher and have no issues at this time. Smooth, fast and clean!!!! Everything is working at this point.

Great ROM and this is my first custom ROM I flashed and I have no reason to try another at this time.

Thanks for your hard work!! It is much appreciated!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Question, I noticed on the first post there is a GBudate zip file. Do I need to install this? If so what is the update?

If so do I just put it on my SD and go into recovery and grab it?

[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Well, I could squeeze 6.5 hours from 100% to 5% with data on, and 3 sync accounts and a movie playing nearly all the time when not checking mail.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Yeah I knew that they were a no no but I thought it was simply because of the fact that android does its own task management. I had no idea that it would keep my phone from sleeping. It made a HUGE difference turning it off. Edit :uninstalling it

After 8.5 hours with 1 hour of screen time I'm at 75% when I would normally be at 25% or so. Love that I have nearly tripled my battery life overnight :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Looking for opinions and thoughts. This is my first custom ROM I installed and have no issues that I detected yet. I have my phone set up just the way I want. I am OCD to a degree :rolleyes: about my stuff so I am hesitant to try other ROMS because I read this person is having trouble with this ROM etc..and I freak out when I run into issues :eek: but I am curious about the other ROMS and what they have to offer.

By know means do I want to bash another ROMs!! My question is what other ROMs have you tried and why did you come back to Gingerbeast? What made you settle on this one as oppose to others?

I do understand the nandroid backup. I did one last night. When installing from a nandroid backup, it completely reloads everything just way you had 100% setting and all?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjkoellner:
I come back because no matter what I run, this one runs better, faster, cleaner, etc. Than anything else I've tried!

[HTC Inspire 4G] alaimar:
I personally tried every single ROM and always come back to.gingerbest. there are some great ROMS if you're looking for fancy looks and sense like functions. I come back for speed/reliability/awesome dew support/7+h batterry life and love for the AOSP!!! NANDROID basically images your phone and backs up the file on your SD. Its great in theory but it isn't full proof. You may run into issues here and there when restoring your backups, I have at least. You'll probably flash some other ROMS one way or another and that's when you'll know why we all come back :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Lol more on my battery saga...went 16 hours and was at 65% with an hour of screen time. Then it dropped to 40% with 30 minutes of GPS O_o
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
We are very similar. I am also very particular about my setup and I won't flash a different rom until I've done a lot of research. After reading about GingerBeast for a while, I finally decided to flash it. I was running another AOSP, but it wasn't fully functional. I was hoping that GingerBeast would provide that for me; it did, and then some :). I prefer the AOSP roms (love Sense too, but something about AOSP brings me back - guess I like the idea of purity in theory and practice). I feel like I can take full advantage of my phone's capabilities, because everything not necessary is stripped. GingerBeast gives me AOSP, with stability, battery life, and a few other options (you'll know what I mean if you flash ;)).

Oh, and nandroid backups ftw!!! They will save your tail. Do them religiously before flashing or modding. I lost HSUPA after flashing one of the compatible DHD radios (and its RIL) and the only way I could get it back was to load the stock ROM with the HSUPA fix. Once I flashed it and confirmed that my HSUPA was functional again, I was able to restore a nandroid backup and get back to my exact state :). EXACT.....everything - settings, desktop configuration, widgets, call log, messages, EVERYTHING.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alaimar:
What's your app list you're installing? I found that. Some apps completely kill my battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Thanks for the feedback, Gingerbeast is so solid and I am very pleased with the build. Just trying to see what other features do these other ROMS offer that may be better/different/worst than Gingerbeast.

Again, I tip my hat to the builders!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
It's trial and error and alot of personal opinion.

My Fav ROM ever was Ingersoll, but donvaughn hasn't updated it in forever...so I wanted to come to a ROM I knew that the dev was reputable and I have followed his work elsewhere.

As for your question, it's hard to answer that. I've used this analogy before and I'll use it again.

It's like when your wife asks ya "does this make me look fat?" Dammit...there's just no easy way to answer that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I used Ginger Beast and Android Revolution (with no sense patch applied), and am very happy with both. Ginger Beast is AOSP based, AR is a regular ROM (comes with Sense by default that u can take off applying the no sense patch).
[HTC Inspire 4G] dxwilliams40:
I flip back and forth between gingerbeast and tpgb. I have a nandroid backup of each with my personalized setup. I have been on tpgb for about a week. Both are AOSP roms, and i'm pretty much waiting on a gingerbeast update. I'm testing battery life with tpgb with lordmod's 4.5.1 kernel. I will test gingerbeast with it next to see which gives me the best battery life. The newest version of tpgb is very fast and has excellent battery life, but there are a few of my needed apps that do not show up in the market for me anymore. No issues like that with gingerbeast. Its all about personal opinion with these roms because many of them are really good. I like leedroid best when I want a sense rom, but I always seem to return to an AOSP rom. MIUI was nice but did not like the iphone like setup.

Hey guys, posted this a few pages back but nobody answered :(

Just wondering if there's a way to remove the quick settings from the drop down menu. I know most want this but I really do like the complete stock look. Would really appreciate any input :) Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Not very easily, you'd have to decompile some jar files and edit smali code to remove the settings, it would be easier for me before I compile a build, and I will eventually have a zip to remove them, or a whole build without them, but can't tell you when. It is something I plan to do though. I never saw the benefit of removing them since they are super useful to me, and I think Google should add them in stock android. That whole pulldown is too convient for JUST notifications, and I don't see any negative at all with them being there

What makes you think you lost HUSPA? i know i've seen people claim this all the time, but usually a quick reboot fixes this for me. Last night when i traveled to Indy, i landed and speed test from the hotel, got around 1.2mbps DL. Rebooted the phone, 4.7mbps DL. i honestly think it just finiky, you shouldnt have to go back to ATT stock.

What test's are to be done to test 'broken' HUSPA, because if its just speed tests, the network is just way to inconsistent to use that as a determining factor
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Ya pretty much- in the almost 10 years I've been with att I've NEVER seen the network as inconsistent as its been for the last few months. I'd say 99% of the 'I get great speeds with x rom, and y rom has better speeds than x rom' come down to network inconsistency and coincidence.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
I've for enough time with this rom now to give it a fair assessment. It's the most stable and battery efficient my phone has ever been. I have had zero force closes, gps is outstanding, battery life puts my stock sense battery life to shame. In short everything just works and works well. It seems there is always an issue with a rom where you wouldn't recommend it for everybody as a daily driver, but not so with this one. Thanks again to the dev, this is great work that has made my phone better.

Uptime ohh yeah..

Soo I just (tried) to flash this, and it's been at the HTC loading screen for about 15 minutes. Time to boot into recovery or what? The last two ROMS I've flashed didn't take even close to this long, so I'm not sure if it's me or the phone. I did do a nandroid backup and full wipe before flashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
If you did a full wipe then it seems like it didn't actually get loaded. Did you get any error messages when flashing? If not, try to flash it twice in a row and see if that works.

Also double check the md5 sum of the rom before you flash. Good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
No error messages, but I thought I did see the Android robot thingy with an exclamation point right before the phone rebooted. How do I check the md5 sum thingy? I have no idea what that even means haha. Thanks !
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I definitely lost it. After flashing the radio (and RIL) and allowing it to "settle in", my upload was .08 mbps (not a typo) EVERY result. I rebooted several times, allowed more "settling in" time, and got the same result. So, I reflashed the radio (and RIL) and repeated everything - same result. I even went to a different radio - same result. I verified every install's MD5. I finally perused the forums and found an old thread where several other people experienced the exact issue. The remedy was to load the stock rom (with the ota radio included in the flash - through bootloader). I finally broke down, did it, and my normal uploads returned.

EDIT: I'm very aware of the extreme variance in AT&T's network, but uploads (HSUPA) have always been consistent for me.
