Go to app settings and clear the data. NO GOOD? MOVE TO NEXT STEP...

Try a new install of the app and reboot. NO GOOD? MOVE TO NEXT STEP...

IF ALL ELSE FAILS.......

Make a backup-WIPE EVERYTHING LIKE 2x- REFLASH FRESH. REDOWNLOAD THE APP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redm1st:
I will say this, I've used R5 and the wifi tethering. And it worked for me. Ive also used some of the newer shift roms and i actually had to uninstall the tethering app on there with a system app remover and install the market version for it to work. And there was also one weird case, where my wifi tethering would work at work but not when i was at home. But I would just use the sprint hot spot on my phone. "NO" I do not pay for that service, but it still works if i was to use it.

I say leave R5 on the shelf and grab you one of the new roms.

Add-Ons and Mods

Interested in doing your own theming? Check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.

Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder

==============================================

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.

==============================================

Installable Applications

NOTE: Just copy to SDCard and install like any other app.

None

please be 3.0 free...to much lag and problems
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
297 megs dang. gonna try anyway cuz im a flash addict haha. anything over 200 just seems to lag a bit
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It's mostly 2.1 with very little 3.0

Try it you may be very surprised
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Cool. Downloading. I've tried all the 2.0/3.0 roms. I like incubuses the most but the call roaming issue bothers me. Hope map works on this one for me. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Glad to see this, will give it a spin!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mfcradio:
Any chance of this having the Sence 3.0 stock market app and widget...? Or is it the same/older Stock app...?

Other than the lock screen, the new Stock widget is pretty sweet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
def trying it out. downloading. your last rom was great
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Nils, its great to see you taking part in GingerSense rom building!

I have been a fan of your work in the past and will give this one a shot.

I was waiting for a 2.1/3.0 mix that is stable enough for a daily driver (since I use my Inc for business also) and this looks like the one I will try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Not as bad as it sounds because the framework is in system and the apps are in the internal storage
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tsoms:
sense 3.0 lockscreen the only sense 3.0 feature?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Been waiting for the right time to release. Based on the excellent work wdfowty did and additional work it is pretty stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
No. Check out the first post. I updated it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
Does netflix work on this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Don't know. Let me know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
Can you tell us if future releases will require a full wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
i expected this rom to be laggy like the other 2.1/3.0 hybrids. boy was i wrong! GREAT ****ING JOB! so smooth. very suprised since its nearly 300megs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sruel3216:
hmmm restarted phone and now lockscreen wont come up. this one take a while too like all the others?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdog94:
i have been having similar issues when moving roms from pc to sd card it looks like it moves but when you try to flash it its like its not there the last two roms the only way i could get them to work is mount sd from recovery and then move them over

i have also noticed with my phone running if i plug in usb and choose mount usb and then try to unmount itseemstostay mounted even though it say charge only
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
No problems here reading files on root of SD Card (or anywhere else on SD card for that matter), whether images or other types of files.) Not preferring Polaris, as I already own QuickOffice Pro.

Nils, a couple of follow up questions/comments as you work on the next version:

I notice the boot animations are located (and named) differently than with Froyo (which requires a VZW_bootanimation.zip file in \system\customize\resource). Is there a way to customize boot animations in Gingerbread? Where should they go and what should they be called?

I have noticed that boot-up is *much* faster on this ROM, even after Recovery. Any concept of what the battery charging cycle differences are, if any between OFF versus Hibernating?

Any thought to integrating AppFolders into the drawer? I don't find Gingerbread's app drawer particularly enthralling. (I know, that's down the road).

Finally, to someone who asked, yes, you should reset the GPS on each boot to avoid reboots when accessing Maps or other GPS-reliant apps. I'm sure that kink will be worked out in later issues.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
For those having problems with copying from PC to SDCARD

Just for the heck of it I put in a different SD CARD that was not formatted for the phone and it copied fine. Since it was only 2gig I wanted to get back to my normal card so I deleted everything that the system created when it prepared the other SDCARD and now it works.

It appears that GingerSense does not get along with older versions of the following on the SDCARD:

.adobe-digital-editions

.android_secure

rosie_scroll

and possibly:

speedsoftware

So, try deleting them and restarting the phone. I actually deleted them from the PC and put it back in the phone.

Let me know if this works for you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Boot animations are called bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip They are in /data/local. Any ones for the incredible will work by just renaming them to the above and replacing the existing ones.

Charging is pretty much the same either shut completely down or in hibernate. Unless you turn off fast boot in settings it will never shut completely down. I just charge mine powered up.

I will put the appdrawer on my list but it will be awhile down the road.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
Something I came across on one of the Ginger sense Roms was that I could access my sd card when set to charge only as well as mounted as a drive. When mounted I could not see it on the phone, when connected as charge. Ly I saw it on the phone and pc... Weird, I wonder if that causes some of the issues you are seeing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
More than likely related. Still tinkering with the ultimate solution.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Yeah I changed my bootupanimation to the android peeing on apple with droid eye after. What about adding boot sound I tried adding the android_audio.mp3 in /data/local and did not work also under /system/media did not work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
I found that my boot animations were still in system/customize/resource. Tried to swap one the other night and ended up reflashing because the lockscreen was gone. My /data folder is empty. Thought you'd like to know...

Also found out I can't install any apps directly from ES file explorer. Tried to install swype, setcpu, and others, but the install button is inoperative. Cancel works though.

If you are taking requests for the next version, I'd like to see the HTC_IME keyboard mod from Biz sense 6.3.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tsoms:
Contrary to most people I'm actually having great battery life on this rom. I was still at 60% after 12 hours of moderate usage (texting, xda app, browsing the internet a few times). Yesterday my phone died in about 9 hours but exponentially better after the first day for me. I also have a 1800 mah battery, but 60% after 12 hours is still stellar for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
I used rom explorer and went /data/local and replaced the bootanimation.zip... you may be just viewing the /data on sdcard with es file explorer
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Put it under /system/customize/resource and it may work

Even though you put the boot anim in /data/local it still looks like it is in system since it is a symlink to fool the system

Since you are getting funny results with folders you may need to reinstall without a wipe to reset every thing.

Remember, all of the /system/app are actually in /data/system.app

Correct. With the way we had to make this large ROM fit we had to move things around and use symlinks to make them look like they are where they belong

Best way to figure out where things really are is to look in the rom zip file
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Yup. Switched ES to root options, and there it was. The Droid X eye works perfect now. Also remembered to turn off fastboot so it reloaded properly.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Even with all my testing and reboots I am still getting decent battery life myself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
So this is the best minus the GPS reboot thing I love this rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
I'm on a stock battery. Unless I'm on wifi, the 3g eats holes in it. Been using Juice defender and Ultimate Juice, which helps a lot (and plays very well with this rom), but I use the car charger several times a day. Maybe a modified kernel somewhere down the road?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
If you toggle gps off and on a few times after each reboot and leave it on you will have less trouble
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chadledford:
Im sure this has probably already been addressed but gps/maps only works 1 out of 10 times if im lucky and my location does toggle on and off every time??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
NOTE: Navigation. Navigation is working good but can be finicky so:

1) Put Maps, Navigation, and GPS settings shortcuts on the desktop

2) Toggle GPS on

3) Make sure the icon toggles on (No \) and off (\) on the notification bar

4) If GPS icon shows on then open maps

5) If maps works you are good to go with anything depending on GPS.

NOTE: If the slash does not go away on the GPS notification icon keep toggling until it goes on and off consistently[/QUOTE]

I always. Have GPS on. When I use the browser the phone reboots. I don't get something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:
try a new radio..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pk74:
I'm in the same boat as you...the first few toggles and then the / on the icon finally matches the widget each time...I do it a few more times, 10, 20, 30 times...it still reboots 9 out of 10 times or so...other than that, I love this rom!

I always. Have GPS on. When I use the browser the phone reboots. I don't get something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
yeah, the only thing that sucks though is that the facebook +1 number OVER WRITES your google synced number wtihout the +1 in there. i sync facebook so i get all info, and i wish i could unsync just numbers, but i cant :( ugh i hate facebook lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
I know right?! And even if your facebook friend doesn't have a number in there, half the time it still adds the "+1" !!!

Using a different radio wouldn't fix the dialer handling that would it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
nah. it's facebook itself. ugh lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
The RUU has been leaked now, too

For what it's worth, the RUU has been leaked on Android Police here.

Running it breaks root, but it's now only a matter of time before Nils and the rest of the devs are all over it.

Can I get an amen, bro?

Oh hell yeah!

Widgets not refreshing

Ok..so i'm not quite convinced that this problem is rom related, but you guys have been very helpful here....

I'm running this rom, the 3d ver. with LauncherPro (not full version) and I just wiped the battery stats yesterday and still in the process of charging it back up. But since i did the batwipe, my widgets wont refresh, they just sit there and do nothing, the time doesnt change, the battery % doesnt change, i can use the wifi widget i have to turn on and off the wifi, but icon doesnt change, same with my 3g widget. I'm hoping that for some reason my batwipe had something to do with this, and it will be fixed once i fully charge my bat and do a bat pull...if anyone has any ideas, they would be much appreciated because i've gone thru all the launcherpro settings, and all my widgets are set to be ignored by my taskmanager (btw i deleted the stock task manager that was included in the rom; i couldnt figure out how to make it ignore something, like launcher pro - i thought maybe it was killing launcher pro and making the widgets freeze..but i dont know any more.......)

Thanks

Edit:

ok..well.....now xda doesnt work...my widgets still arent refreshing....not sure what the heck is going on now.......:(

OK.. so did a "hot reset" and xda is working... We'll see about the rest...

Edit again: OK well the widgets are still not refreshing... And its kind of pissing me off... Nothing against you nilsp, but I think this rom is too much hassle for MY situation.... :(

Last edit: OK.. so after much research, I have found no solution to my problem, I tried uninstalling lp and reinstalling it... And everything is working.. for now..........
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
I'll never understand the concept of flashing a modded Sense ROM only to run another launcher over it. Why not just flash CM or some other AOSP ROM? The beauty of (and only reason for) flashing these ported GB ROM's is for the new Sense experience.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Couldnt have said that any better.

If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
agreed with both of you guys. the reason we use sense is bc we love sense lol that's the preferred launcher for us.

anyway nils, hate to say it, but i'm back to synergy for a bit..i was still getting that random unresponsive screen upon wake thing on the rom here, where the touch screen just wouldn't register any touches, and when i held power, would go crazy and randomly hit silent/vibrate/airplane modes without me touching em
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
Because some prefer the animations and features of LauncherPro (or similar launcher) and still want the Sense apps.

Yes, you lose Sense widgets, but can still run Sense apps, like the dialer, weather, friendstream, etc.

It's really a preference and a give/take thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
And I thought I was alone with that lol. Although I think I've only experienced this twice, the first time I did a reboot to get the screen response back, and the 2nd time I think it came back as soon as I pulled the notification bar down, or something like that. So weird though, I could scroll the home screens from left to right as long as I used only the very bottom of the screen where the first rom if icons are, and if I opened up the app drawer I could scroll down but not up, or I think I could go both up and down but I had to swipe on the very bottom portion of the screen again. But yeah, I'm pretty sure I resolved it on accident by pulling the notif. bar down and then pushing it back up. Pretty weird, and as I said it's only happened twice so I haven't though much of it. Didn't get any weird issues when holding power down though. Have you tried a fresh wipe and reflash yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
yeah, i've gotten this problem on a few different versions of the rom, and i always do a clean flash when i do it, so idk what the problem was :\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I figured you all in the thread would appreciate this link too. Android Central review of Nils Business Gingersense 3.0 rom:

http://www.androidcentral.com/rom-review-nils-business-gingersense-htc-droid-incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
awesome review! lol@ the bret michaels comments hahah
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Wow, nice writeup. Now I have to live up to it.

Thanks for posting it since I may never have seen it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
Thanks, I was just going to say something to that effect. And so what if sense is YOUR preference, launcherpro is mine.. also, sometimes you need more than 7 homescreens, so you use two launchers, then you get the best of both worlds. In fact I think its kind of rude to attack people like that for what they like....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Hey Nils - Any thought to trying out the OTA Kernel or framework on this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Here is the kernel if you want to try it. Just clear dalvik and flash in recovery

Inc Kernel OTA

Framework is another story since it is built on Sense 1.1. I will be using some things from it in here but not much.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Thanks Nils! I will give the kernel a try and post back.

Ah yes, I forgot that the OTA had older Sense. I saw you mentioned using some of the framework on the 3.0 ROM so was just checking for this ROM.

*Update: The kernel loaded easily and booted normally. I will give it some time before I grade it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Would not give you something that didn't work HaHa atleast intentionaly

Ley us know how it works for you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
I hardly see the guys post as attacking. Actually it made alot of sense.

If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
OK, I could be wrong. It just came off as very sarcastic to me. But it is hard to tell when it's just text.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
OTA kernel is working great for me so far. No problems at all and phone is snappier. Any chance this kernel will be modified to enable SetCPU?

From my Droid Incredible running Nils BusinessSense 3.0...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Not until we get the source.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Not to correct Nils, but SetCPU will work with the kernel we have as far as underclocking (perflock_disable module) and changing the governor (smartass and conservative modules), using the loadable modules that Tiny has built for it. You just can't over clock the kernel, yet, without the kernel source being released.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
For us rank amateurs, does that mean that we can load SetCPU just to handle profiles like screen off, etc. now? It always FC'ed on the prior Gingerbread kernels. Or are other intermediate steps required? I've seen the threads regarding those "modules" tiny did, but I have to admit that's way over my head.
