nils, with your new camera you're working on, do you think the 720p recording will be improved at all?

by that i mean, 720p audio ALWAYS gets out of sync after making a video, every single time. it seems even worse on all of these roms than the stock froyo 720p video was when we got it. is there any known fix to that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nils ... Sync facebook contacts continues to be re enabled after each reboot. Any idea how to make a de selection of that option stick?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hitch_Itch:
Nil's, just wondering why you recommend going to w/ 3.0? whats better about it

I just got this rom all set up and now I need to flash your 3.0 LoL

Hitch
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I hope so. The version in the 3.0 ROM already is better than this one.

Are you turning them off in the sync menu? I don't use fb contacts so I don't know but will look into it.

I like it and it overall has more features and is pretty solid
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Just adding my two cents, the Sense 3.0 rom is a daily in and of itself. If you prefer this thread's 3D over the non-3D, you should just go with the pure Sense 3.0 rom and call it a day
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hitch_Itch:
I just dl'd the 3.0 rom, did my backup of this rom but when I connect my pc to my dinc it wont mount as disk drive. the normal pop up window that comes up asking me what to do(mount as disk drive) is not coming up. So i went into settings/connect to pc and told it to mount as disk drive and still nothing, my pc is recognizing the dinc when I connect, so my cable is good.

I had to boot into recovery and mount usb from there, kinda crazy
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Really? I just connected mine and it worked within seconds. I'm on Business Gingersense 3.0 v1.1 right now, I'm about to update to v1.2 and check for you. I'll post in the 3.0 thread so we don't clog this one up.

Edit: I may have read that wrong...is Nils 3.0 rom not connecting to pc or is his 2.1/3.0 rom not connecting?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hitch_Itch:
Yea that was pretty weird, never had that happen before, o well, i worked around it, loading up 3.0 now ;)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeffBea:
Where can we down load the 5.02 radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Search for "5.02 radio" in the android dev section. It's in the latest radio thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
good to hear about the camera nils. when i did the beta test that was the one thing i forgot to test! stupid me lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeffBea:
Thanks, found it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
fell to the second page!?

f that.

Hey Nils, I loaded 2.3 non 3d after a full wipe then I flashed the rotating rosie. Now I get force closes on rosie every other hour. Thx in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KrisPeezy:
hey nils, you gotta get that battery tweak that wdfowty has going on in his inc 2 remix rom... batt life is amazing on it, only thing keeping me from coming back to yours
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I will get a look at it. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
Nils,

I have been using the DualRom tool and also got the BootManager app that replaces DualRom. In working with the developer of the app to fix a problem I was having it came to light that this rom does not have the libext files (there are six of them) in the system folder, your 3.0 rom does but not this one. Was that on purpose? If not on purpose can you place into this rom?

Thanks,

Cary
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i'm loving 2.3 nils, but i'm getting some really awful battery life lately. i'm finding myself having to charge atleast twice a day, when usually i could make a full day without charging. no rogue apps are taking up battery or anything, so idk what's going on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Update in post 3

Radios

I added the 3 most popular radios with instructions since they are asked for alot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boyer61:
Im in the same boat. went from 100% to dead in 5 hours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Helpful hints on battery life:

Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.

Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.

Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all

Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.

In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.

In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them

In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.

Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.

If I think of more I will add them.

Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
cool tips nils, i pretty much do most of them..i love EFS so i'm always using it haha..i'm just a power user i guess, but i thought i noticed more of a drain recently than usually..maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me.

but with that post, you should totally throw that up on post 1, 2, or 3 or something, so it can easily be found. people who just come into a thread and complain about battery life would benefit from it; i've followed all of your threads, so i've seen you make those suggestions plenty of times now, but the new guys probably haven't
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Good thinking. Moved to post 3

I prefer Root Explorer but it is not free so I can't put it in the ROM anymore
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
I've always used ES without any problems. Before I was able to use it's root capability, and needed a root explorer, I found that AndRootFile worked well, and it's free. Found it on Softpedia in the handheld section.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeramyEggs:
Just got 9 hours at work, and at 18%. Surfed tapa, the net for about an hour and a half,10 texts, and a little gaming. Very smooth Rom Nils. Was rocking optimized shift for a while, and really liked it. This stole me away. Really stable. Thank you, and all the dev's who helped.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Thanks. Always good to hear the positive comments
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Was not intentional other than I decided to leave them in the 3.0 ROM based on wishful thinking
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nils - Please do not forget that FACEBOOK FOR HTC SENSE -> SYNC CONTACTS does not stay off. I don't know if it comes back on a power-off (I charge with the power off), reboot, or randomly, but unchecking SYNC CONTACTS will get re-checked; and THAT can eat a battery alive, especially in a low signal 1x area.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
any hints as to whats gonna be in 2.4? :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Most of 2.3 for sure :D

I am working on porting the 3.0 camera/camcorder from my 3.0 ROM over. It works great

A few of the 3D widgets from 3.0 that I have cleaned up.

And if there are any special request now is the time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
which 3.0 widgets are you porting? They will work with 2.1 rosie? let me know if i can help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Special Request

Please look into the FACEBOOK FOR HTC SENSE -> SYNC CONTACTS issue. It may very well be at the heart of the battery complaints you are getting.

And that "db meter on the status bar" that CyanogenMod just put in would be pretty cool too :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I amnot porting them to work with the 2.1 Rosie. I am targeting my 3D version of this ROM to replace the seo versions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I have not forgotten about the Facebook sync issue. I synced my FB one time and turned it back off and it is still off. I need help debugging this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mirrin:
Facebook is one of the apk I remove first. You can get the market version if you really want to face book on your phone. Maybe not the solution you want but if it is not on the phone it can't sync constantly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Picasa is working with gallery? It really works, I have always liked your roms nils but that puts it over the top.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
eh i like facebook for htc sense bc i like it syncing all my contacts info...despite the fact birthdays are off by a day. nils can u confirm that? lol check some birthdays of people you know in the people app, see if they're all early a day. all of mine are.

sense 3 cam...didn't u pull that outta your sense 3 rom bc 720 was broken? why put it here if it's broken? either way a new camera might make recording work again...the audio is out of sync so bad on 720 that i never even use it , i'm stuck using 480...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikedogrun:
Nils - Much thanks for an incredibly (pun intended) stable, daily-driver rom with v2.3!

I've twice tried v3.0 (1.1 then 1.2) and for me; it just stutters and delivers odd results. Go back to 2.3 and all is great... I do full wipes and re-download & re-install 3.0 and the results are the same. It is laggy and some things just don't work.

One key example, these not-so-young-eyes need the slightly larger font that Spare Parts on v2.3 allows me to use. On v3.0, Spare Parts (even if you make the change to "Large" font doesn't appear to update or change???

I also just received an Inc2, so most anxiously awaiting a port there... believe you said it would be more like the 2.1/3.0 than a pure 3.0 ROM?

Thanks again for all of your excellent work!!!

/BD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Will check on FB birthdays but I vaguely remember that being a pretty common problem.

Yes, I had pulled the camera out of 3.0 but got a new one that works good.

I guess results vary for people on all of these ROM's. For me the 3.0 ROM works better than the 3D version of this one

I have been thinking of doing some fonts for both ROMs so maybe I better get working on that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikedogrun:
New (with choices for larger) fonts would be excellent!

BTW - I am running v2.3 non-3D. I have not tried the 3D version of v2.3... perhaps I should? ... as a bridge to v3.0???

/BD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
If installed correctly the 3.0 rom is very smooth and stable. I have been running it for a week and it is the best rom I have had on my phone.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
awesome nils, i'm pumped to try the new cam!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikedogrun:
Say - them thars fightin' words :D

Pretty sure I "installed correctly" ... at least 99.9 % sure anyways. The real issue for me with v3.0 1.2 (lagginess aside) is being able to use Spare Parts to increase overall font size. Has anyone else actually done this and had it work? For me, it accepts the change but there is no noticeable font size increase (and it is pretty obvious on v2.3 that it has worked).

/BD :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Does any one have the old market handy. I cant load apps that I have paid for with this one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Know what you mean , I had five apps I couldn't even find on the new market.

what does rotating rosie do?????????

Very nice work Nils most stable gingersense rom I flashed

Lets all the home screen go into landscape.

The only thing you lose is the ability to change your lockscreen settings

Anybody else able to duplicate?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulitos:
I have some issues with my hard power button, and as such, been using CM7 for it's goto sleep toggle in the notification area and the volume rocker wake...found a market fix for the screen off....any ideas on volume rocker or trackball wake? Any chance of incorporating them into the ROM...?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Anyone else get the weird white and black squiggly screen when changing skin's? With Remix4 its a HTC loading screen, should I reflash or is this a graphic issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I think it is a bad image I just haven't spent time on it yet so no flash necessary.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tsoms:
Yeah I've seen that I think its just in place of the regular splash screen nothing to worry about
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I actually did get another FC but I think its related to something with my setup and/or with dual Rom as it doesn't happen normally.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It was a bad .9.png image. Fixed in the next release

It does not cause problems just ugly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Wow. All I can say is wow.

Tried GingerSense Remix and had GPS and Gmail issues.

Just flashed this and it is spectacular. Got GPS lock first time through and have been able to use Maps, Navigation as well as Ford's "Destinations" app to sync with "Sync" in the car.

Gmail is smooth. Connected to the HTC Sense Hub without an issue, and I do believe we've got a decent daily driver here.

Will try that circle battery (my old eyes can't work with the default) mod next.

Nice job, Nils.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am chasing my tail with a problem I may not really have with the ROM.

Could someone do the following and let me know the results:

Attach to PC

Copy an image or .doc file to the root of the sdcard

Disconnect

Using a file explorer like Astro or Root Explorer and see it it is there

If so can you open and image with gallery or or the .doc with polaris by tapping on it

If you can't see it in the file explorer reboot and then see if it is there

If so see if you can open it

This seems to be happening to me since the first GingerSense ROM I tried.

Also, have you tried other GingerSense ROM's and had this problem

Thanks

Nils
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Tried this with an image and it worked okay. Just occured to me, though, that you probably wanted a test by somebody running this GingerSense ROM. I'm running Magnolia 1.4 at the moment. So in case it helps I posted this anyway. Sorry!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentsimon:
Nils'

I'm a big fan of your roms for quite a while.

I'm having the same problem. I copy any file to my sdcard and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I can look at it with root explorer and the file is there but with 0 bytes. This happened with WD Gingersense roms too. I do this in recovery (mount USB) and it works a little better but not always. Right now when I go to charge only it doesn't unmount the sdcard on my PC. It is frustrating.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Nils, I just tested this out for you.

I was able to copy a .doc file to the root of my sdcard and see it with Astro.

I was then able to tap on it and open it with Polaris.

No issue at all.

Also, I used to use the Optimized Gingersense rom, but never tried this exact process.

I always used Android Command to transfer files and never had any issues opening them.

Just let me know if you need anything further.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Thanks folks. That confirms it as an issue.

It started for me with one of the GS ROM's very early on and just wanted to make sure it wasn't just my phone.

On to debugging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jinth0688:
Awesome rom..loving it so far.

Only question I have is if the background behind the shortcut icons on the lockscreen are supposed to be transparent or not when you drag them to unlock because they have that grey square when you select them
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am aware of the square but have not figured out yet how to get rid of it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
FYI, I'm running Nils 3.0 rom and I activated extra large fonts through Spare Parts after reading your post. I noticed in various and not every app that the font size increased. I haven't used THIS Sense 2.1/3.0 mix in a week or so. I know this doesn't help you for this rom but just throwing that out there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Nils -

I don't like the Carousel, which is one reason that I am on 2.3, not 3.0. I also like a bigger battery icon in the notification bar. I have older eyes. I like a 6 bar strength meter, just a personal thing.

What I would really love, though is the ability to map both the right and left Rosie buttons.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
mods would be something cool to add to this, like different batteries and whatnot..personally, i'm a fan of the stock sense battery with the % inside. also would be cool to see different color scheme rosie mods
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
SpareParts does not play well with Gingerbread which could be why it is inconsistent. I need to do some font mods of various sizes

I would also like this. My preference has always been phone on the left and all apps in the middle.

In general I have been holding off on mods like this until I have nothing significant to fix in the base ROM since it is a pain to maintain all the mods whenever the ROM framework changes. It's doing pretty good so maybe after my next release I can start on theme mods like the battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Nils can I replace the market app in the zip file and reflash with out creating issues. The new market I don't like and all my apps aren't there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yup, as long as they are both named Vending.apk (case sensitive)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Based on popular request I added some flashable fonts to post 3.

I included the stock ones for this ROM is you want to get back.

Help me with labeling since I would like to mark them Small, Medium, Large etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
This is a keeper
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
any ETA for 2.4 release nils? i'm debating whether or not to just keep running 3.0 on here until 2.4, or nandroid back to 2.3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
man, i got that non-responsive screen issue again! thing is, it's def software related...i can unlock it by the screen, i can open apps on the lockscreen..but once the home screen comes up, the touchscreen WON'T work. can't pull down notif bar, can'ts witch screens....hit menu, nothing pops up, it's as if the screen froze, but the weather animations worked. if i hold Home, the recent apps come up..if i hit it once, it shows all of my screens.. if i held power button, it would automatically put me into airplane mode, or turn of all sounds..one or the other..as if the screen was bugging out. i finally got it to hit reset, and that fixed it...charger wasn't plugged in or anything, so there goes my theory of it being the charger
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
oh nils, i forgot....biggest request ever:

GET RID OF RECENT APPS? haha have you looked into that at all? id be so damn happy if they were gone from the notification bar....your sense 3 rom doesn't have them anymore!! can you do that here?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
The market app is a beast since it is resident in cache. You need to flash the zip in recovery then go into a file explorer and find Vending.apk in the /data/system.app/ folder and tap it to install it.

If you already have it on a home screen you need to remove it and readd it to get the icon changed

Voice Command and/or microphone noise cancellation problem

Nils your latest 2.3 (7/21/11) ROM is awesome. Very professional looking and fast. Also has spectacular batter life over your last ROM. However voice commands don't seem to be working well when I am in a car or any environment where there is a good amount of background noise. I am not sure what device you ported this ROM from but I have a theory about the microphone problem. If you ported this ROM from a device with 2 microphones(1 for noise cancellation) then this might be the problem. Usually in the past cell phones used software noise cancellation however now with most newer phones they have hardware noise cancellation. Maybe you can figure this out with my insight because to tell you the truth this is the ONLY thing that stands in this ROM's way from being truly the best sense ROM out there. Defiantly worth a job at HTC or any software company.
