we all gotta laugh some how right. I'm just playin too. glad u have a sense of humor as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Any chance of us getting a nice, DEEP red version of this? That would be way cool.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
red version added to OP. Any deeper and the text would be borderline unreadable against the black background IMO

Will rom manager still function with the modified recovery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nachobass25:
Good question! I'm wondering that aswell
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riker147:
I've used ROM Manager a few times with this and have had no problems.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I installed already. Rom manager does seem to work fine. If I happen to run into any issues I will report back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Sweet. You rock! If I would have had access to a Linux box, I would have made the edit myself, but all I have is my phone and super-locked down computers at work. Thanks a bunch!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
i couldn't mount usb from recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I just tried it and it worked for me. Im running the blue version, and I connected to my laptop running Ubuntu.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I'm also running blue with windows.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I'm not sure on that. I was in recovery, plugged in to pc, selected the mount option from recovery menu, and the sd card folder opened right away on my laptop.

Maybe it has something to do with windows drivers. Did it work with the stock clockwork recovery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
Yea, I just went back to the revolutionary cwm 4.0.1.4
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
That's strange, maybe the recovery file was corrupted somehow. You could download it and install again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
there's pretty much no way this could happen, given that the recovery image is stored inside a zip. If the download was corrupted, the PG32IMG.zip file would not be flashed by the bootloader. Sounds like there's an issue with Taebom's setup since there's no issue with the recovery itself
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] epik277:
after i reboot recovery--- it tells me not permited. what am i doing wrong
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
Just ran across this and flashed it. Very Cool. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Spookymyo:
I've tried using ROM manager, sometimes it doesn't work right.

If it doesn't work, the guaranteed way is;

-Rename the file to "PG32IMG" (PG32IMG.zip)

-Move it to the root of the SD card

-Reboot into boot loader. (Power off - hold down power button & down volume key)

-The boot loader will find it and install it for you. Super simple.

Also be sure to delete the PB32IMG file off your SD card when you're done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Is there going to be a new update coming, since Clockwork was updated to 5.0.2.0?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riker147:
Was wondering the same thing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I'll have to look and see if there's any changes other than the cosmetic changes to the menus, and if so then I'll incorporate them and update. But I don't plan on changing the menu structure from how it's implemented now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
Hope to continue to update :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
what exactly is it you want updated? if I change the version # to match the official CWM will that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mbh87:
CWM 5 does faster nandroids, so there is a point to update other than the appearance.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
as I posted before, I'll take a look at it and implement any non-cosmetic changes. Probably will have time to do so this weekend
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
any update on this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I see that the CWM 5.x changes were finally merged in, though my incentive to update is pretty low given that I use 4EXT recovery now, which is better than CWM recovery in every imaginable way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
that's too bad, I really enjoy to modifications you made to the recovery. made it perfect. I'm not too familiar with 4ext recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zeroxg4:
You should try it. It's very straightforward and also cuts all of the extra "no" options out. It really is much better than cwm in terms of organization and functionality. It's also based off the cwm code so you won't lose Rom manager stuff.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Ok here is the case.

I have couple of AT&T atrix here which belongs to friends. I am going to point down what is the current situation so someone out there help / warn me before I do something stupid.

1. I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phones and enabled sideloading on 1.8.3

2. OTA was flashed on these phones as soon as it was made available.

3. I received no warning or failed update. The update was successful and phone booted fine into gingerbread.

4. New bootloader was flashed hence I lost the Unlocked bootloader.

Now this is what I plan to do.

1 Use pudding to unlock the bootloader again.

2. I have seen people who get soft brick when they do this on OTA which is recoverable.

Now my question is, can i directly flash the new 2.3.4 SBF which is pudding + root + unlocked bootloader using RSD?

If yes, can I install latest CWM after I flash the new combined SBF using RSD. I know I can recover from soft brick by unlocking bootloader and flashing the SBF again as it goes back to fastboot after softbrick ( i recovered mine from soft brick couple of days back ). Just wanted some clarification regarding this particular situation.

I am not exactly a noob, but there are conflicting responses when I tried to search this. Thanks in advance,

Also can someone tell me where to check the status of efuse on atrix (location, original value and modified value to expect in case of blown fuse). All phones are rooted. So wanted to check if I have blown any fuse or not.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nshih422:
Hello XDA,

I have been searching around but can't find anything relative to my experiences.

I have tried flashing many different kernels on top of my rooted stock 2.2 and I always end up with a boot loop of the HTC logo.

I was wondering if there is a way to flash a different kernel and have it function properly. I want to be able to overclock and install a patch from the call recording app in the DEV section. A link to reading material would suffice or any help would be appreciated.

Info:

Stock 2.2 rooted

Tmobile G2

Thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
You could try using a Virtuous kernel, I'm not sure if they will work on stock though.

Here's a link to some kernels.

You should really install a custom rom though if you want performance.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nshih422:
Thanks for the reponse. I was using CM7 and loved it, but I really need my call recording to work and it was very intermittent with CM7.

I got it working properly on stock now by installing baconbits 0.3 then flashing the kernel and for some reason it worked.

If you have any suggestions as to a "stockish" type rom, I'm open to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Virtuous Sense is based off the official updates from HTC, only optimized and touched up a bit.

8 inch screen, dual sd slots (64gb) and even a mini hdmi port and usb+network adapter, all for less than 130 euro? Seems like there should be a catch..

Anyone tried to port honeycomb?

or even get the market working properly. Yarvik website says they are having licensing issues..?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk8mike911:
I have had a blast using my sidekick 4g, except for one feature, the dialer. I hate using my sidekick 4g in portrait for anything and I have no choice but to do so when using the dialer. ive seen a developer modify the dialer to work in landscape for the galaxy s and the epic 4g, If someone can mod The dialer for the sidekick 4g, Im sure i wont be the only one that will be grateful:):):)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Why not just use the keyboard?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
if your rooted, im going to release a ROM soon. i modded the dialer to enable landscape. These dialers already have the resources for landscape idk why they arent enabled by default.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk8mike911:
If you make this rom, Ill be so happy, just tell me when its done.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I, too would be a happy camper...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk8mike911:
will your rom have a landscape lock feature?
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
For some reason I can't post my screnshot of my battery use. Anyways

I was wondering, does anyone know how the iphone4's battery holds up with one charge and moderate use
[Verizon Droid Charge] siky_dude:
Android uses java...enough said.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Btw I'm on 1d11hrs. Still 25% left.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MissyThinks:
wow that's pretty awesome.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Iknow, pretty darn good, still tryna to get 2 days with moderate use
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
what's your setup?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kgbeezr1:
These "great battery life" threads always annoy me to no end. Not to take anything away from your good fortune, congrats to you, but after what seems like dedicating part of my life to trying to get even passable battery life out of this damn phone, I still can't make it through a full day, unless I refrain from using it for the most part. I'm really curious as to what the variable is from phone to phone that causes many to have poor battery life, and a few select others to get exactly the opposite. Anyway, again...congrats! :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
P

I've been trying to think of a way to normalize the battery usage measurement. Something we can all use to make sure we are comparing apples to apples. I am considering an app that would record usage stats compared to battery drain and then assign that to a value. Then one could say " I got 10 hours of batter with a usage coefficient of 23". And 23 would relate to a scale of usage. That way we could get a better idea of what battery life really is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Pluussssss one.

Sent from my Droid Charge running Humble 1.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Im stock, with nothing syncing in the background,brightness all the way low. I think those are things that drain the majority of the battery. Don't use Apps that are constantly running in the background, like an application protection for example
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
I'm with you. I get abysmal battery life and I am not by any definition a power user. Texts, emails, some web browsing only. No streaming at all. My email apps are set to manual only, wifi and gps off almost all the time, certainly when not in use, LTE off, brightness set to automatic.

Yet I get barely a few hours before the battery is very low. I'm talking like 7-8 hours, a majority of which is spent with the phone on standby in an off state.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Thanks, display, syncing. Really will help with battery life is display brightness is all the way down, and no accounts syncing in the background. But Ofcourse some people want syncing and prefer the display to light up a room, it's all about preferences.
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
That's great, but I'm not sure I'd want to have to hit the refresh button repeatedly like some needy maniac cuz I know that's exactly what I'd do.....lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] bobthesalesclerk:
Right now running humble at 1.4ghz and juice defender i am getting 2-3% battery drain per hour with medium/heavy usage. I was getting 8 hours without juice defender but now that it's working i can see this.phone getting over 18 hours. Screen is around 60% brightness.

Droid Charge/Humble 1.42/PBJ OTB 1.4ghz
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
There really isn't a reason for my phone to be syncing every hour, I'll just go into my gmail and press the refresh. I'll go into pulse and refresh so I can check my newsfeed. Wifi always on and always great signal, weaker signal means more battery drainage, vibration should be off as it really uses battery. I'll keep on thinking about new things and post them
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Yea iknow what you mean, and sometimes ill switch from manual sync to auto sync. But I really enjoy the long battery life its getting me
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Man That's great for running at 1.4 and screen brightness high.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Living out in the sticks with crummy service or in a building with crummy service can really effect battery life.

For example, where I work and where I live, I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the same cell tower, as I work and like a mile apart as the crow flies.

With that said, I work in a brick building with a metal roof, and my phone fights for signal all day, every day. It drains 15% per hour at idle. The same phone with the same usage at home sips less than 5%. At home I get great coverage.

I can promise you, that's one factor to consider. Another is setting the display to automatic brightness. I find that to be a battery killer. I don't know if its because its always sensing and calculating, or if its just not at the optimal brightness. Maybe a combo of both.

Setting it statically, even if its not the dimmest setting helps me.. I don't know why tho.

So anyway, location has a very large part of battery life.... even if you're not set to auto sync, your radios are still talking to the towers. With a bad signal, the phone will crank up the power to maintain a better signal... and that will destroy your battery... even more then auto sync.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kgbeezr1:
I've tried cutting down the extras to the absolute basics and it really made no difference for me, or if it did it was too small to identify. The two things i'm definitely not willing to go without is push mail and a display that I can see. Having said that I don't really get that many emails and my display is generally set to ~20% (no auto) which is just adequate. I use Google Voice also, but when I uninstalled it for a couple days the drain remained.

Are you sure your body isn't storing large amounts of electricity and you actually recharge the phone as you're holding it in your hand? Do you live directly under high voltage transmission lines by chance? I've never overclocked, but using stock clock settings with any combo of every ROM/Kernel available, regardless of whether it's stripped or loaded, under medium to heavy use with the display set to 60% I would see a drop of anywhere from 20%-30%/hr. The only time I get 2-3% per hour is in standby with the phone untouched and no calls or Emails/Gvoice texts coming through. Personally, I think you were lucky and scored one of the rigged units they send out to reviewers. lol

I thought this too, and while I know it absolutely does make a difference in regard to the amount of power the phone transmits with, after a couple recent experiences in different places with 5 bar reception, one even having 4G, my battery drain problem seemed unchanged or very mildly improved (but still dreadful). At home I only get 3G, I lock it to CDMA so it doesn't search, but average around 2-3 bars. It's never in standby mode that I have an issue, it's in use that the battery level plummets, even when not transmitting data. If I didn't love the phone so much in every other way I would have Ebayed it and gotten something else by now, but the idea of parting with it makes me very sad. I've also considered getting the 2600 mah battery, but then I can't use a case. Dilemmas.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I don't know about you guys... but, whenever I am home.. im on wifi. I keep reading about people being at home and being in bad service areas or whatever. At this day and age doesn't everyone have a wifi router at home? The wifi radio uses signifigantly less power than the lte radio or cdma radio, even with great reception.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mmxz3ro:
Congrats

That's awesome battery life. I was hoping this phone would be with ATT or Tmobile. Something more affordable than Verizon. I like that Verizon is reliable and fast but man their prices are horrible. Oh well. I'll stick to my poor man's phone network. Virgin mobile :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] bobthesalesclerk:
I would get 18 hours easy out of my fascinate with a 1500mah battery overclocked to 1.3 or 1.4 running juice defender. I just use bfq and undervolt the **** out of it. 18 hours is more than possible out of this battery. I unplugged at 9 AM and its 5:33 AM. I plugged my phone in at work for a half an hour or so(maybe gained 10-15%)and i am at 22% right now.

No need to be a **** or anything man. But since i got juice defender actually working on this phone today my battery life has been amazing.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
With a 450 minute plan, AT&T is only $5 less a month (with 2gb of data) than Verizon ($89.99 vs $84.99). $5 a month, basically, for 4G speeds that drastically exceed AT&T's fake 4G (and, of course, Verizon's much more reliable network). That's entirely reasonable, in my opinion, and far from what I'd call "horrible."

Sprint and T-Mobile are both $5 less still ($79.99), though both have their downsides: with Sprint, even though they have a 4G network, it's substantially slower than Verizon's; and with T-Mobile, even though you get unlimited minutes, the provider has a pretty poor network (they don't even cover every state) and unlike the other 3 carriers doesn't even have plans yet to roll out real 4G. And, of course, they'll probably be part of AT&T soon.

tl;dr: Yes, everyone knows Verizon's prices are the highest, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Your definitions of "light use", "moderate use" and "heavy use" are probably different than other XDA members' definitions. My phone will go 24 hours+ with moderate usage, but heavy usage will kill the phone within 12-15 hours or so. Still, that's pretty damn good battery life!
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
Agreed, but what do YOU consider moderate usage?

I am a texter, I have Gmail running on push, I do some web surfing, and the text/email is fairly constant. Not all day every day, but enough to be considered moderate to heavy email texting. No streaming, no apps running in background. And I live in the NYC area so coverage is not an issue at all. On wi-fi, I get decent enough life. But on 3G, even with the 4G option turned off, I am getting about 7-8 hours with the screen turned down low, and all of the above going on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
Hey, I understand that not everyone can throw money away but when you add all things in, other than MetroPCS which is horrendous, Verizon is only about $10-$20 more a month than other providers. That's $120-$240 for the entire year. Like I said if you are on a tight budget that's understandable, but to me that's a pittance for the better service and much faster speeds.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Guys I just got pretty good battery life yesterday for the first time, using the phone to text regularly and check emails and facebook. Took the phone off the charger at 8:30am and it was 51% at 12am midnight. Do the math, that's 15.5 hours ~50% battery. Just above 3% per hour, and I was actually USING the phone. If I would have just left it sit and do nothing over night then it probably wouldn't have drained hardly at all, leaving room for 2 FULL days on a single charge but it would probably need charging by the time I got home from work today.

Running EP1H on Gummycharged. Yeah....
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
I just took your advice and rooted, adding Gummycharge. Let's see how it goes. It's taking a VERY long time to charge which I assume will go both ways and take a long time to discharge. I will update you all in a day or two.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
To further clarify on this. I've been off the charger since 8am yesterday and I'm on 35% with the phone used light-moderately. I expect it to die by 1am-2am.
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
Well, I'm rooted and I have the display at its lowest setting, all radios other than 3g off, and I'm down to 61% after 2 hours of texting and emailing. Granted the usage has been fairly constant but I'm not streaming, using the web or burning juice with non~used items like wifi or GPS.

You guys are either not using your phone at all, or you're just that much better than me.

Looks like I'm gonna need the extended battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
I really don't understand having a top of the line $500+ computer in your pocket and paying $30/mo for data service and not using it. No apps running, no push gmail sync, no calls, all this talk of the battery lasting days if you don't use it. Sure, my Fascinate went three days once on a less than full charge....because it sat untouched for 3 days.....whats the point?

I use my investment. If I get 10-12 hours with my usage I'm happy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scubaz71:
Bob are you using just the free juice defender or the ultimate paid app?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
You really have to do the battery calibration right. Pick your ROM of choice.

Charge your phone to 100%.

Turn off the phone, charge to 100% while off.

Turn back on, charge to 100% again.

Reboot into download mode, flash ROM of choice.

Boot into ROM.

Turn off phone, charge to 100% while off.

Turn back on.

Use the phone for a couple days, don't charge it very much, battery life won't be great.

After 2-3 days your phone will slowly figure out itself and the battery life will be good.

It's a Pain in the ass but you gotta do it if you're flashing ROMs and stuff.

If you follow these steps to a tee then you WILL have the battery life that we are getting. I have been getting 2.5-3% drainage per hour on the Gingerbread leak, that's really good for a leak.

If you are in a fringe 4G area, download LTE Switch from the Market and select CDMA mode when you are in fringe 4G areas.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I use the crap outta my phone. 3 emails, texting, calling, push everything, Google Maps, browsing the internet, Facebook, Twitter, weather widgets, everything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Same here bro. If my phone goes 30 minutes without being actively used by me (not an app ) its because I'm sleeping...lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
Agree. I do use my phone. I just try to maximize the battery life because I'm not always near a charger. But I'm on that mofo all the time!
[Verizon Droid Charge] broomulack:
I will give that a shot. Thanks so much!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I went above and beyond with those instructions. If you follow them just like I wrote them then you should have better battery life in no time. Also, I recommend turning off auto-brightness. Use a lower brightness setting indoors and use medium brightness while outside. Use full brightness while on the charger.

Also, if you didn't know, if you have auto brightness OFF, then you can press and hold down the status bar at the top of the screen and slide your finger left and right to change brightness without going through menus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 91point6:
I agree. I have the exact same issue in the building I work in. About 15% an hour drain. At home and out of my work more like 3-5%. over a long weekend I got slightly over 24 hours with 6% battery left. I was more than happy with that. I have heard all the suggestions - everything from "bad phone" (which VZW replaced) to bad battery to turn everything off to task killers. I have proven to myself that the bad signal is the main culprit in my case. If I start turning things off I might get 14% hour drain at work instead of 15%. Not worth the trouble.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Wow thanks for the little tip to adjust the brightness,That's cool, how did you find out how to do that?
