Yeah, that's the whole problem I'm experiencing though. Using 3G, I get great battery life. With Wi-Fi on, the battery drains quickly (even with the phone sitting idle). Since I have Wi-Fi available 95% of the time, I'd prefer to use it of course... but not if it drains the life out of my phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddogg:
I'm using Adrenalyne's 4.47 kernel that was cooked into the ROM. I'm using the MR2.5 radio. The one thing that I noticed the difference is before I use to have the display brightness set at the brightest, that made my battery die in about 8 hrs. I switched it to Auto-Brightness & my battery is MUCH better now. I'm running 4G all day. Bluetooth only turned on when I'm in the car. GPS only turned on when I need it. I do bump charge it for 15 mins during my commute in the morning, at night, & during lunch, when it sits in the car dock.

BTW - I'm overclocked to 1.4ghz using the OnDemand governor.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
Just incase some people aren't aware you can keep your GPS toggled on at all times. It will only use it if you are using an application that requires it (Yelp, Navigation, ect.). I keep mine on and it doesn't affect my battery life at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Superthrust:
Dont worry i am a avid follower of the Fact to not use a task killer, but i wanted to see if anything was running and Draining my battery. When i flashed, i cleared all caches, full full wipe and cleared battery stats while at 100%. I just restored some apps with data from titanium that would have been a ***** to reinstall and update.

Basically i havr done everything in your post since i first flashed. The task killer was a theory.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
I figured out a way to have both the clear lock screen and the remove the "skinned" htc buttons. I flashed the stock boot animation, and the v4.1 icon pack and battmod and somehow i have the normal Bamf 1.8 clear buttons on the bottom, no overlap from the underneath by the "skinned" htc default buttons.

Give it a shot, it might work for you too...

Granted I have no idea how or why it worked, but it did :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Vbosch1:
I thought you might have used the task killer to just see what was running. Glad to hear that.

I still think that there may have been some data restored that is draining the battery... I try to restore app only, and not app + data. You could try a wipe without having to reflash everything and restore apps only. That's what I would do. It doesn't take me very long to restore my data on my own, so I never do just to be safe.

Google has been restoring most of my apps for me anyway lately. Even my wallpaper which is weird.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Vbosch1:
I could be wrong, but this is my theory. If you are moving a lot of data, then WiFi will be more efficient. If you are sitting mostly idle and not syncing much while idle, it seems that just having WiFi on takes more battery than the network. Would anyone else agree with this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Vbosch1:
This is confirmed. Flashing the v4.1 icon pack will give you the clear rosie and clear lock screen. Not to mention the nice wide clear notifications button. :cool:. Thanks bud

I have been on all the latest gingerbread BAMF ROMS for weeks, but I'm loving this Froyo!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mamoru16:
What does auto sync do anyways? I never understood that. Those options in the sync menu are not clear at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SirBindy:
It... syncs. If you have it turned off, no emails will flow in automatically, weather will not automatically update, etc. Anything that updates automagically will not.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bolt_of_thunder:
Flashing the landscape mod will also fix the icons on the bottom. I was wondering how to get that wide clear button back, thanks! But instead of flashing that icon pack I am going to flash the new 1.8.6 remix!! Yeaaaa boy!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
ANy mods that worked on 1.8, will likely work on this :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbdavies:
So something that I've noticed whenever I restart my phone.

1. It takes a while for 4G to connect, I'm stuck on 3G for a couple mins. Not a huge issues, just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

2. The HTC Facebook under Accounts, the Sync Live-Feed thing, never stops syncing. Never. I had it going for an hour once. Never stopped. So, I turned it off. But when I restart, it automatically reselects itself and tries to sync again. Thoughts?

3. The twitter app, every time I log in, then restart, I have to re-log in. Every time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] patdroid1:
1. i get the 3g/4g thing on restart a lot...i think it's a radio issue cuz i get it on the GB roms too.

2. don't use facebook

3. use the twitter app and have no probs

REBOOT to get data back online?

Since 1.8 and now 1.8.6 Ive had a data connection issue.

If I turn 4G ON and then switch back over to 3G in a LOW SIGNAL area... I have to reboot the phone to get the radio to come back online. Even if I toggle airplane mode OR radio on/off in settings, same thing.

Hot reboot doesnt get the APN back online, only a fully reboot. Strange?? This occasionally happens if I just leave it in 3G only as well, Ill lose the connection and have to reboot to get it back.

Definitely happens every single time, 100% of the time, when switching from 4G to 3G. I hate my office :mad: Sitting here at 103dBm and 0 ASU, fml :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
Yes and from there you can switch to whatever icons. I accidentally flashed v4.1, but I prefer the v4 icons with the circular battery meter. Even after I flashed back to v4 i still had the clear buttons.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
This is not true, only for accounts that don't have individual settings in them. I have my auto sync turned off but I still receive emails without issue from my Touchdown application (my work email). It just doesn't constantly sync my facebook and gmail and weather...but I don't really care about those. I just manually refresh my gmail or facebook whenever I want to check it.

Auto sync definitely will use alot of battery in my experience. As long as you leave background data on you should be good. I just added a "sync all accounts" widget that I will hit periodically to update everything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
No, not from my experience. When idle on wifi my battery performance is insane. I was on wifi all evening last night (at least 4 hours before going to bed) and my battery level didn't budge 1% for at least 1-2 hours.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
I have the exact same problem with the HTC Facebook account syncing indefinitely. I actually ended up removing the account and adding the regular facebook account. (I don't use the HTC apps anyway, so whats the point? I just like having a facebook account so it will sync with my contacts) This seemed to clear it up for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jonakin:
That is what I would expect also, but mine drains in that scenario. I wonder if it could have to do with the type of wifi connection. Are you using N or G, WPA2 or WEP, etc.? I'm using N/WPA2/AES. I also tried N/WPA/TKIP and got the same results.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] plambda:
I have pretty bad battery drain on wifi as well. Not sure what the culprit is.

Rosie Lanscape in Bamf 1.8.6 mr2

This is going to sound strange but yesterday after closing the XDA Premium app on my phone my Rosie Launcher started to be able to rotate in Landscape. I have changed skins and still am able to rotate with the Rosie 5 row launcher. In older versions of Bamf I use to use a 4 row Rosie Launcher that Bgill modified but that was months ago and that launcher was 4 rows and I checked was 1.60mb. The current launcher on my phone is 1.25mb and I checked in the Bamf 1.8.6nte download file to be sure that 1.25mb was the size of the rosie.apk and indeed it is 1.25mb.

Anybody have any idea as to how this is happening? Is landscape rosie included in this rom and I never noticed?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
Gosms has been draining my battery since the last 2 updates. Iy runs cpu at 100%. I unistalled for now and its running alot better. Maybe this will help someone else
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
I'm using G/WPA/PSK i think. I don't see why that would make a difference, try setting your router to G mode and see if it changes anything I guess?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EisBlade:
I'm running 2.0 with no reboots...NTE
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EisBlade:

If you must remain connected to Facebook, remove that account, download FriendCaster, and use that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spjoneser:
Just an update..... Flashed this over 1.8 the day it came out using MR2, Not a single reboot since. Only poor battery and quirkyness while using imosey's 2.6.0, but perfect on stock kernel which I switched back to of course, turned up to 1.2ghz and smartass.

Thanks again BAMF team!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bowtie26:
Sorry if I missed it but can I use netflix with this rom? As far as I can tell it only works with GB but wanted to double check.

Love this rom!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashtheguitar:
No. GB only.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tdog7879:
I also am having horrible battery life with wifi on..I guess ill have to stay on 3g till there is a fix?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] timp123:
I too am getting horrendous battery life since I switched from th3ory's GB rom. I just unplugged the phone while I was sleeping, and it went from 100 to 28% in less than 7 hours without any use. With a couple calls and 5 or 6 texts, I only last 3-4 hours during the day. I haven't changed anything since I was running th3ory last week, except for any app updates that came out since then.

I've always had background data on, as well as wifi, bluetooth, and gps. Any ideas what's going on? Is this a rom issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbdavies:
Just curious, the update that the TBolt got this weekend... is that still "inferior" than what we have? Or could we use anything from it?

Also, the HTC Evo 4G is getting the Gingerbread update... can we steal anything from that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jonakin:
Discussing it in this thread. So far, has happened only in several different versions of the BAMF ROM but with different kernels.

adrynalyne, if you happen to see this and anything jumps out at you that might be the issue, post over there and I'll see if I can make changes or get logcats or something to help figure it out. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Scooter Scott:
Hey adrynalne I randomly started getting force closes today. I haven't done anything different and its been running solid since I installed last week. Pandora, Rom manager, angry birds, HTC apps.....they are all randomly popping up that it force closes and half of these apps I haven't even went into. I've rebooted a few times but its still doing it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] timp123:
indeed that was the issue; I turned off wifi (even though it was not connected) and my battery now lasts through the day. A small price to pay for one of the few roms with a functioning call recorder. Besides, 4g is about as fast as any wireless network around. Thanks!

Tethering

Does anyone know if the program/apk which blocks tethering has been removed from Das BAMF 1.8.6?

DZ
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbdavies:
It hasn't been on any of them. I'm currently tethering using this rom. Was on 1.7 and 1.8.

I seriously doubt a dev would put a tethering block in one of their roms. No one would like that at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Superthrust:
The bamf forums wont let me register or see anything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msmall82:
Agreed, I use friendcaster (formerly Flow) and it works great.

Can't wait to load this once I get off work this evening. Just rooted and loaded 1.8 two days ago and all is good so far. Thanks for you work on this. I know GB is the hot thing now but I'd rather wait for the full release to rid it of all the bugs.

I've been on chingy51o's plainjane v3 with the MR2.5 radio... I think I'm going to try this BAMF ROM this afternoon... :)

You're right, they do. But not 7 minutes after they create the thread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddogg:
Adrynalyne,

I'm about to flash this 1.8.5, but before I do, are you going to be releasing the GB RC4 soon? If so, will a good amount of the bugs be fixed?

I'm just trying to decide if I should just go ahead & flash this 1.8.5 now, or wait for RC4 if the bugs are fixed... I just don't want to re-set up everything twice in a day... thx...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scassel:
Not trying to be a douche either but consider this...

XDA is head and shoulders over the other forum sites, particularly when it comes to developers. And we all appreciate you for it. But with the "explosion" of the android os, more and more people are on this site. Now it used to be that people scoured these pages but rarely posted. Now, they are posting.

My suggestion, if you can't take the questions, you have no place in the business of developing roms. It is going to happen. And they are going to be inappropriate at times. So what?? Isn't it easier and requires less effort to just ignore it??

My $0.02
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Probably best to wipe. Did you double check the md5?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
There will probably not be an RC4, but a 1.0 final. It will not be bug free, but as bug free as we can make it. Right now, that means mostly cosmetic issues. Once I finish this tech communications class for this week, I will work on it more.

I merely released this because I needed a strong daily driver for my second TB.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mamoru16:
Mine won't mount the sd card either.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddogg:
Sounds good... I'm flashing 1.8.5 right now... I'll wait for your 1.0 final to test out GB... gonna skip RC3.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
and which version did you download? Did you wipe? What is the MD5 of your downloaded rom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sgtguthrie:
I'm having the same problem, it's the MD5 you have posted in the op. I just finished downloading from the first link at multiupload.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mamoru16:
I downloaded the second NTE version that you uploaded. I downloaded it straight to the phone so I can't check the MD5. I'm going to try redownloading it and re-installing somehow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Actually, you can c heck the md5 from the phone. No worries, folks, I am sure its something minor I did. Let me look into it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sgtguthrie:
I downloaded straight to my phone, checked md5 with afv, it matched the one in the op, and I did a complete wipe.

Thanks, I'm pumped for this daily driver. Guess maybe i'll check out the latest cm while i wait :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
I think I figured it out. I will make a patch for folks, then I will upload again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mamoru16:
This may sound like a newb question but how would I apply the patch without access to the SD card?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sgtguthrie:
That was quick...I'll gladly test the patch for you if it would be helpful.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Clockwork recovery has just fine and dandy sdcard access ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sgtguthrie:
You'll have access to the sdcard in recovery. Transfer the file from your computer to your sdcard there and you're good to go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RootandBoot:
Great job bamf. This is the quickest Rom I've had so far. Deff gonna stick with this over rc3.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jonakin:
Of course there is no guarantee on fixing the reboots, but I have been running MR2.5 with PlainJane and did not see nearly as many reboot issues as I had on MR1--but it did reboot at least once that I caught. At one point though, I had an uptime of at least 238 hrs which is far better than anything else I had seen in the past.

Thanks so much for updating to support MR2 on Froyo, adrynalyne! It's working great for me so far, and I have Call Recorder back which I've been missing since I got on MR2.

I have to say I think I'm in love with 1.x again with the 2.5 radio. Seems I have better GPS and data and get the speed back I gave up for the early GB builds. One thing huge for me on GB was the proxy support on wifi that 1.x (froyo) lacks but some how I retained those settings from GB when I rolled back so my phone has me 100% in heaven now. Maybe was a fluke how it worked and I always wipe between flashes but something carried over. Granting I can't change the hidden settings any more but they are set how I need them so I don't have to change them.

Thanks a ton Team BAMF and I will still try everything new you put out but this really took the cake today :-)

Question

As I understand, this ROM (1.86) supports MR2.x but the base ROM is older than the current Froyo leak available? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to that?
