please dude, 3 days because of that custom kernel? i ran that on CM7 on my phone and still only got my typical 14 hours that i get on sense roms with stock kernels, or even chads kernel on froyo. those 3 days you were getting were probably days of little to no usage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chefyocum:
Great to see another Rom from you nils. I'll download it when I get board.

Sent from my Dinc that has been UBERized.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Great

That's wierd. It should not delay at all but if it does hit the optical joystick. It bypasses the lockscreen just like sliding the ring.

All else fails reinstall without a wipe.

I don't plan full wipes but one can never tell if/when new features are added or removed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
For those saying all the 2.1 w/ 3.0 features being laggy, it's not true. Optimized Gingersense Beta3 has no more lag than what I remember on Froyo Sense. It'll occasionally hiccup, but no more than any other sense rom I've used..... The first boot does take a while, the initial one that is, after setup, it's pretty damn smooth.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
Are you going to include the phantom call fix from ReMix? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
might have been one of the idle screens i deleted. i thought i only deleted the stock one. i also deleted the streaks live wallpaper and a few other apks i always delete on roms...

reloaded and deleted them again and got the same problem. also changed dalvik heap to 48. could that be it? i get a idle screen wallpaper error
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
no backup assistant?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Very nice so far. Darn thing rebooted when I tried to disable geo-tagging from the camera :(

I'm gonna take her for a test drive for a while. Love the look of your ROM :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
With everything in internal storage no need to remove anything like that. No gain. Plus the lockscreen expects them to be there.

Yup, increasing to 48 could be a killer. For one it reserves memory the system needs for other things. 32 is optimal.

Sorry..

I got that once but no problem after that
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
oh ok i just like to delete the stuff cus i dont like seeing it in my app drawer. third time i reloaded and i only deleted stuff and didnt change heap. rebooted fine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It's in there. If you are getting phantom calls let me know. I have not experienced any.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
No worries - just curious
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Amphibliam:
Any screenies yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Ive tried everything you said, cant get maps to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Ok, maps kept rebooting phone, so i went to market, opened maps, and now maps n nav work just fine! Wierd, but i will take it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Are you seeing the GPS icon toggle off and on?

I assume you did a full wipe.

You can try reinstalling without a wipe or just go into recovery and clear cache and dalvik.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am guessing that it still needs a kick in the butt on some phones. Generally once it starts working it stays working
[Droid Incredible Android Development] paintguy:
Nils Nailed This Rom

Drove home from work (30 min drive) with music BT to my radio and Navigation on screen. Everything worked flawlessly. The BT in these new roms is so much better. No snap or hiccup at all when BT to my radio. I did full wipe and installed all of my google apps from the market instead of backup. Great job Nils.:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Cool!!! any screenies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Ok Nils, dont know what you did, but mms works over wifi. Nice!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Working on it but basically it is the stock launcher bar with the white on black clock from Business sense

Cool. Been working great for me also.

The big thing with this or most ROM's is not restoring with TB especially data so you nailed it.

Not yet, been lazy and working on other things.. See above.

I think it was a permission somewhere that was a problem but I have changed so many things I am not sure. Just happy it works
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
This is by far the best gingersense Rom I've flashed as far as everything working and stability. Does anyone know how I can get stock icons and stock status bar icons for this Rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Request

Can we get the screen transition effect "cube" with infinite scroll.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
I haven't flashed today's update yet but can someone confirm for me whether or not the lock screen has the grey icons (from the screen shot) or is it back to having the opaque black icons that it's supposed to have?

I know it's not a big deal to most people but I think that the grey looks terrible. That's really the only thing keeping me from using this ROM right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:
thats been fixed no boxes and they are black now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Look like black, toplit spheres to me.

Judge for yourself here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
I wasnt gunna go there, but i agree with you. I could not touch my fully charged phone n it might last 2 days,lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kenneu:
I could go *multiple* days untouched with CM7 and Chad's kernel undervolted. As long as I had wifi on in the background to keep the 3G radio from operating, I would lose only a couple of percent overnight... I didn't have any facebook, twitter, or anything else running or updating at night ("Quiet Hours"). Just mail and calendar sync during the day. Weather on wakeup only... I went two full days on a single charge when I actually USED the phone a few times (albeit briefly) on more than one occasion.

Sense has more "stuff" going on. It eats more battery and always has. CM7 is highly customizable and you can get crazy long battery life if you modify it.

That said, this ROM rules.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kenneu:
Nils -

All this talk of battery life prompted me to study the battery usage throughout the day. I only used my phone for about 5 minutes, but the "what's using the battery" report showed the dialer as 13% of my use with voice calls only 3 percent. Dialer was number 2 on the list which seems kind of high.

Even 10 minutes of angry birds only shows 2%...

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
kenneu, that's what i'm saying though......that's not touching the phone....that's not using the phones potential really....i mean yeah, if you didn't have access to a charger atleast once every 12 hours, that's the way to go....but if you do, why turn all that stuff off? i bought the phone for the social networking aspect; i love linking my friends to facebook to have easy access to their info, numbers, etc....i love the weather updating every hour on the hour so i'm always up to date..i love the push gmail notifications so i'm always in the loop...

i understand if you don't use that stuff, and that's understandable as many people don't. personally though, that's how i use it, and i've gotten so used to the fact my battery isn't gonna last days anymore like my old dumbphones did.

i'm not a CM fan, though. i'm not a fan of stock android whatsoever. i think CM was ugly compared to sense, and i dind't notice any speed differences or battery life differences with it at all....all in all, i bought an HTC phone because of sense...if i dind't want it, i would've gotten a samsung or something.

also, i see dialer using a high amount. not as much as display, though. my dialers at 11% and i haven't made a call. right now i'm at 77% and 3 hours on battery.....that's usually how i get...i go like 10% an hour, so i can get around 10-12-14 hours out of the phone...but in all fairness, i'm constantly texting, constantly facebooking, constantly on XDA, etc etc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
Nils, here's my question.

it seems all gingersense has a broken "battery information" thing in spare parts.

ok, remember when we used to go into spare parts with froyo, and hit the FIRST thing "battery history, summary of how battery has been used"

that's where we could check partial wakelock and awake time and wifi up time etc etc, remember?

in all gingersense roms, it force closes. is there a way to get this menu back onto the phone?! this always helped tell me what app was staying awake...now i have no idea what's doing what anymore!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kenneu:
It's all good :)

Now I'm really curious about the dialer as it wasn't even enough draw on CM7 to register as one of the top apps. If yours is saying 11% and you didn't make a call? Hmm....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
thing is, on every single sense rom with sense 2.0, it's showed it on there. sense 2 and above is much better at gauging whats using your batt than sense 1 was, and it might just be better than how CM7 is...which is why on sense 1, display would always be like in last place at 1%, and now, display is ALWAYS number one
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
idk what people are complaining about battery life for...I'm at 50% and that's 7 hours and 15 minutes off the charger..meaning if i kept up my normal usage of sending a bunch of texts, checking Facebook and xda and whatnot, ill easily get 14 hours. during that time, i even played around with the camera a bit. I'm getting pretty good life here! i think everyone who sees constant syncing or bad batt life should UNCHECK the sync HTC sense thing if they logged in. that's a battery hog and HTC sense online doesn't even work right.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Van you point me to an example. I an not familiar with the effect but good timing since I am experimenting with animations right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
If you think sense 2.1 is bad on battery don't try the pure sense 3.0 even worse. Its do to the higher resources used in sense compared to CM7. I tried uber kingdom 3D and lost 20% of my battery in 1 hour. It is not as stable as Nils, but I love the screen transition effect "cube" with infinite scroll.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Its the animation in uber kingdom 3d or the easiest way to see is to download ADW launcher and go to adwsettings/general behavior/animationandeffects/screen transition effect and select cube. Infinite scroll should be checked on default.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I actually sent the dev a message and got no response but someone else said he is working on bringing it up to GingerSense. I usually include spare parts but haven't for that very reason

Too many comments on battery to quote them all so I just picked one.

I think all in all the battery on this ROM is not bad but I am not a good judge since I boot and mod so much it is impossible to tell. However, I do that with all ROM's and I don't see this as being any worse than any other Sense ROM I have worked on or tried.

Battery is simply a compromise with the extras of Sense vs. vanilla.

On the other hand I look forward to modded kernels when the source becomes available
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I remembered after I posted that it is the 3.0 animation. I will see what I can do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
I agree with Nils on battery if your going to compare-compare apples to apples. Nils for me has the best sense based battery time. 3.0 really eats that battery up and AOSP based roms like CM7 have modified kernels(undervolt,HAVS) from stock release and gingersense does not. I did try lou's #8 on gingersense it does work, but lose camera.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
Anyone running thus and using Pandora have issues with Pandora?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Yes but only if using 3G. I just switched to slacker works a little better. Pandora stops when advertisement comes up and have to restart and works again until advertisement again.

I Think there is a small 3G issue with this build, I get half the speed compared to other gingersense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
Seems to happen on all gingersense. Pandora probably needs updating.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
Man, that would be awesome. These mix GS ROMs (2.1/3.0) seem to be much better for me on battery than just 3.0. The cube animation would be sick. I actually think that even better than 3.0 cube animation is MIUI's cube animation. You may want to look into that.

Any chance you plan to write a remap for the right rosie? I know you didn't have it in your business Z ROM but I think that would be awesome.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spikezilla9:
You can remap the right rosie. Its in the app drawer and I think it is rosie settings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Correct. It's there and also was in the last version of the Z ROM. It is actually the same Rosie Settings in here that was in the Z
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kenneu:
Same problem... When I first start Pandora, it will sometimes sit there for a while before playing - 3G or Wifi -- it doesn't matter.

Sometimes it will "hang" for a while between songs. It will hang an especially long time after an ad, sometimes 30 seconds or so, before continuing on.

It is rather intermittent so I don't know what to say as I can't get it to always repeat the problem...

As far as 3G speeds go, I'm not really seeing a slowdown overall. My results with speedtest in the same location can vary widely from one test to the next. I've gotten as low as 260K or so down to as high as 830K down. Note that the 830K down is the highest reading I have gotten at home with dozens of tests on multiple radios. This was on THIS ROM (1.4 build) with the May, 2011 Incredible leaked radio...

You might consider flashing the 05/06 leaked radio and see how it goes as that was part of the leaked gingersense package and they might well work better together overall. I think Nils recommends it in the OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
One other tweak I've tried with this ROM

Before I flashed 1.4, I tweaked a few U/I things in the ROM for my own preferences (by unzipping the ROM to a folder and making changes before rezipping). For instance, there are four or five ringtones which I use which don't come with stock, and more than a few stock that I simply don't use. I pulled the unwanted ones out and included my own.

I also embedded in init.d the sdspeedcardfix script which changes read-ahead speed on my card to 1024 instead of the default 124.

One other thing I did was embed the file from this thread in the location \system\usr\keylayout. Now I can wake the Incredible with the optical trackpad.

I also use a different bootanimation and downanimation, which I rolled in before rezipping.

I think being able to do that and have still have a stable ROM on flash would suggest that this ROM is coming along quite nicely now, thank you very much, and well prior to Verizon actually releasing anything.

BTW, I do find battery life a little shorter (I have a 1750mAmp battery and I still bump charge each morning), but eventually I'm sure there will be better kernels out there (or SetCPU will be updated for Gingerbread).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i let this thing idle over night with wifi on, syncing on etc...hit 100% at like 330am and after that i played around a bit then went to bed. i woke up with 7 hours on battery at 92%...that's pretty damn good for idling while sync is on. i'm loving this rom the best nils!

question, you said you increased available memory in this right? what was the increase? i'm noticing i'm still only getting like 76mb free just like on all the other roms?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
This rom is super nice. Stripped out all unused system apps, wallpaper and ringtones as well as a few other odds and ends to shrink total size and this thing is super fast and smooth!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Still force closing for me with black dialer
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Where does the photo lock screen pull from. I can't seem to get it to work right
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Nils, the HTC linked in won't login using the same information as the linked in Android app
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yup, that is why I took it out of 1.4

Not sure what to say. I don't use it so will have to check it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
The problem may be related to adblock. Try installing adfree from market and revert to unblocked.

Or try this No ad block installable zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Just a taste of the Boot Animation for V1.5 if you want it now. Thanks to Droidel for 3 versions and a touch of me to merge together for one we both liked.

In post 3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kenneu:
Nils -

Any idea on why the "dialer" app in sense ROMS show up as a major user of CPU time? I had not made a call all day or received a call all day and "dialer" showed as 17% of the battery... I don't believe it is actually using that kind of juice, however, as it says it only has about 5 seconds of CPU time whereas I played angry birds for about 15 minutes and it states 5ish minutes of CPU time... Angry Birds is down at 2%. Weird.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Pretty sure because it now polls for calls and is actually logging in 2.1 correctly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
When should we be looking for

V1.5 ??

Sent by my Verizon 4GLTE HTC THUNDERBOLT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Probably a couple of days. I only added semi-trans notification, animated sync and optical wake so no sense in making people flash again. I am working on some screen animations so I would rather wait.

I might be close to the EMMC fix
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Sounds good , always nice to have new improvements . Thanks , no rush.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
Thanks Nils. I'm an idiot. For some reason I was under the impression that only synergy was able to remap right now.

Anyway, this ROM is running great. Thanks for all your hard work!

Can't wait to try 1.5!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
My pleasure. Enjoy
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Could you tell us more about this? Are you saying it is operating correctly? Thanks for the input!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Everything I read says it is NOW reading correctly. I really have no more info other that what I remember reading in this forum somewhere
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
oh my god, transparent dropdown notification menu!? woooo! i'd love that haha

also nils, any word on being able to customize things in the quicksetting menu? i'm kinda wishing there was a way to put flashlight in there like the old power toggles had with "death ray" ability for the full brightness...i hate having to waste a spot on my main screen for the flashlight app, and i do use it often :\

and question, is there a way you can put back "app sharing" or was that an app you deleted to save space? i remember in the "all apps" folder, if you hit menu, you could share an app via text etc...tried doing that tonight and noticed it wasn't there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Nils, it would be nice if you can figure out my previous posts but I understand that you can make everyone happy. So its not like I am bashing your roms. I have been using them since the Samsung omni, I just like the cleanness of your roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I have not even looked into the quick settings yet but it is on my list. Would be nice to have an app to do that.

Yeah, I took app sharing out for space and I didn't think anyone used it.

Not sure what to do. I logged in to my Linkedin with the HTC version with no problem. Where did you install it from?

Try this one

What else are you asking me about? I thought answered every one of your posts
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Really enjoying the Rom Nils, thanks for another great one. I'm probably asking too much here but I'm gonna throw it out anyway. Would LOVE the ability to have a series of 4 icons to match exactly the icons on the lock screen...be available on the homescreen in the same slightly arced pattern since the lockbar and the Sense launcher are the exact same shape/location. I really can't stand placing app shortcuts on my homescreen but if they were deliniated from run of the mill shortcuts, it would be much more doable. Almost like a launcher but in a Sense kind of way. Ideally, an option to not include app name text would be better yet. Can't really use a true launcher app without defeating the purpose of going back to Sense. :D

Maybe I'm wrong but I think a lot of people who abandoned Sense did it for this reason. Widgets are cool but you gotta be able to launch your most used apps without swiping to neighboring screens or cluttering up the homescreen with less than appealing shortcuts that typically don't match up with the rest of your customization efforts.

Remember, I started off by saying I might be asking too much, but a person can dream ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Why don't you just use one of your lockscreen shortcuts for the flashlight app. that's what I do and it works great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
lol damn vern, why the hell didn't i even think of that? hahaha GOOD CALL!

nils, is there anyway to bypass the low battery thing for the flashlight? 15% and below won't let you use it; that's stupid and annoying. any modded apk's for that or anything?

woot woot.

let it sit over night foe 7 hours...only dropped to 92%...so it's been in use for 15 hours during the day...not bad!! that was while texting, xdaing, facebooking etc all day. good stuff!

The slide show lock screens. HTC linkedin still gives me an error login but the android app for linked in from the market works
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I answered the lock screen photos above

I have no idea what to say on the HTC Linkedin since it works for me. I attached the version I use in the response to this question above.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I think removing the text may be pretty easy but changing the alignment of widgets/apps would be difficult. The screen is set up in 16 1x1 squares and it may be difficult to work around that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Nils,

Have you (or anyone) noticed that the soft keys always stay lit even in a well lit place? I use Juice Defender and UJ to control the brightness, but even disabling it and using auto brightness makes no difference. It's not that big of a deal, just thinking of battery conservation.

Looking forward to 1.5, but can't find any problems with 1.4 other than occasional low memory.

Thanks for all your hard work and the excellent support!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yeah, I think we all noticed it and I am not sure what to do about it. Luckily it turns off when screen if off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
I'd love for that GPS icon to be gone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Next release. I am just hiding it right now so the spot is still there but it does not interfere with anything
