[G2 and Desire Z General] SirCanealot:
Hi guys,

Does anyone have any idea to this WEIRD issue I've had with my Desire Z?

Basically, my phone was working normally last night. I then put my phone on to charge as normal before I went to bed, and I left it on the bed. About 5-6 hours later (I had to get up early today...) I turned over and touched the back of the phone and woke up shocked, as the back of the phone BURNED me! I got very confused and looked at the phone. It was VERY hot to hold, and it was on 42% battery. I then took the battery out, and it was almost hot enough to burn me. I left the battery out of the phone until I got up properly and tried turning it back on, and it got very hot, very fast.

I figured it could be a problem with the 1800 mAh Mugen battery I was using, so I decided to put my old stock HTC battery in. I got the same problem.

It seems to have got slightly better now, but I can only really use the phone in 5-10 minute bursts now. When the phone has booted up the battery will report around 36 degrees. After 5-10 minutes it sails up to about 50 degrees before I turn it off. The battery also drops off fast between reboots, losing around 10% each time I reboot (however, it doesn't seem to drop that fast when I'm actually using the phone...).

I am rooted and using Cyanogen Mod 7, and I recently flashed to the 151 nightly. I tried flashing to some of the earlier nightlies I still had on the phone, but the issue is exactly the same.

I did have the phone in the bootloader for a while (volume down+trackball), and it didn't seem to overheat. However, when I tried charging the phone with the device off the battery seemed to get VERY hot (way more hot than normal).

Luckily I can still back up anything I need to back up, and I am going to start doing wipes soon (assuming the phone doesn't overheat while wiping, which worries me!), but I am very confused!

I'm thinking that some sort of short circuit has happened, or something?

Does anyone have any ideas? If it's a definite hardware problem I can get a replacement fairly easily, but I do love my Z, so it's the last thing I want to do...

Very lucky my dad has a Samsung Galaxy Tab I can borrow as a phone for now. It will be fun for a day or two having a 7" tablet as a phone, but it will get old fast! :P

Thanks a lot, all!

Edit: I think it's had it. I tried using another charger and another USB cable and leaving it charge for a bit. When I came back after about 15 mins, again the phone was very hot, and the indicator light was flashing green and orange. When I tried to boot the phone it was dead. When I plugged it back in the indicator light would flash orange on and off for a while, then start blinking weirdly. Lucky my mugen battery still has about 15% charge... xD

It's *possibly* this problem.

My phone does the same thing, gets SUPER hot when charging, and has extremely short battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SirCanealot:
Mine's not charging at all now, so I'm not even sure what to do at all :/

If I use the phone a lil and my Mugen battery dies, I won't be able to turn it on at all, so I'm not sure whether to start wiping and stuff now...
[G2 and Desire Z General] desirez_pete:
General consensus is to not leave the phone to charge overnight?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
not with today's technology. all batteries (atleast good ones) have an internal circuit that keeps the battery from over charging. it also provides a method to maintain the charge by letting the phone drain some battery over the night by 5-10% then performing a trickle charge to slowly (very slowly) recharge the battery.

I've been leaving my stuff charging overnight for over a decade. It's not as bad as you think it is.

This is exactly what I've been looking for.

will hit the thanks button once I get off mobile (:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
nice work you beat me to it :D i was working on the shooter ruu to look forward to seeing where this rom goes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Have flashed many a ROMS back in the day when I had my Sammy Fascinate (which Ive retired) and of ALL the ROMs I flashed, the COMM ROM was THE best. Cant wait to see what this one has. Im currently running the BEST ROM righ now (in MY OPINION) that the DINC has out, but willing to try/test this one. Will be monitoring heavily this thread, patiently...anxiously...nervously...waiting for the dl!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 5thAgent:
I'm running Hybrid 2.2, and apart from MMS making Messaging FC (which I fixed by pushing a previous version of Mms.apk to the /system/app/ folder), it's the best sense 3.0 ROM I've ever run. Maybe this one will give Hybrid a run for its money.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
I've compiled a pyramid build with almost exactly as the scripts and features. You guys want me to release it as a community ROM?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Not sure I understand...if its compiled by you, and/or ported a few tweats and stuff from other ROMS, I dont know that I would release it as a "community" ROM. Just sayin...plus with OVORene getting ready to release this actual COMMUNITY ROM, I would say release it, but not with that "name"?? I dunno, makes sense in my head anyways!! :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] badogg:
Meh, I wouldn't overthink it too much. He was pretty clear what was in it and where he got it. I wouldn't trip on the name of it.

Downloading now is 235mb the right file size
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
Link is up!

Best Regards
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
Yep that is correct. Though you should MD5 sum check it just to be safe. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
This first screenshot looks stock 3.0. The third and forth look like a squared off mod.

Does this come with options for either, or what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
Yes those are themes, I included them inside the zip. Also, they are removable if you don't want them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DannyMeercat:
I seriously just got done flashing kingdom rewind 3d. I am interested in this rom though. To switch or not to switch?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
When I say compiled, I compiled our gb leak . Ported to cool sensations v6. Added tweaks and what not. I'm the only one that has it, debating to post.

It's quick but we need fast
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Download is pretty slow so you have time to decide
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DannyMeercat:
Extremely slow. Haha. I'm sure I'll decide by the time it is done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
I have a really slow internet connection, my bad fellas... :(

So far so good...blazing fast, LOVE LOVE the fact you kept the old market (new one SUCKS), 529MB of memory left EVEN AFTER restoring all my apps, dont see any resizing issues...

The only thing, and this is with all gingersense ROMs, is that MMS over wifi doesnt work. If I simply turn on wifi and send an mms it will kick on the 3G and work, but if I disable mobile network and run JUST wifi, it wont send. FOR ME, this isnt a big issue, as I dont send many, if any, MMS messages.

Given that, Im loving it so far. LOVED the first 2, this is making it just that much better!!

GREAT WORK!!!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
MMs over WiFi working fine here.

You must have data enabled to send an mms, no matter what ROM your on, even stock:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] big_mike_2k6:
Don't know if I overlooked it but is there any chance we could get the stock battery without the percentage?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
I am having trouble with my free memory being low.. running at 50 to 60 MB.. also bc of this juice defender won't stay running in my notification bar.. love the rom tho! I'm glad you kept the stock look!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
About 80 here, but thats not enough either, and i dont install many apps, only sync email. Any ideas on how to free memory?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Mine is very low as well. 70-80.

I will use it more tomorrow and see how stuff pans out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
small tip bro never compress apks leave them uncompressed or else they use up a lot of ram
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Gettin quite a bit of lag, but everything seems to work, just lag with low mem. Kinda surprised how small the dl was for full 3.0.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
I dont have any lag. But then again I freeze a few things up in Titanium anyway.

I also use autostarts to stop things from starting when I dont need them to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
Thanks for the tip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crossxcalibur:
Finally rooted, since my one year warranty is now up. I have tested multiple ROM's. This is by far the best. Coming in second is definitely Kingdom Rewind. This is not buggy at all. Well done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
RC4 tonight!! Huge improvements!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeffBea:
RC4 JUST fixing low memory issues?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Only thing it meeds is more ram, EVERYTHING works, max free ram has gotten to 90, you get that to 120+ and you got a seriously great rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Actually rc3 is quite good, just a lil low on ram
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
It certainly does run smooth, and I haven't had any FCs or anything, but I would posit a few things I wouldn't consider ideal.

This, I think, is a bug: The GPS icon is always on for me, regardless of whether I have disabled GPS or not. It appears this is because if either GPS or GPS from Wi-Fi location is on, the icon in the status bar considers it on. This hasn't been true in any other rom I've tried.

This is the only rom I've run that ever set the filter on the market to filter out everything by default. Made me think the market was broken.

Things that have worked or worked better in other roms:

Google sync didn't auto install all my apps for me. (It's a nitpick, I'm just being honest about stuff I like)

Available memory is usually around 70. This is 40-50 lower than Kingdom Rewind specifically, but still notably lower than most Sense 3.0 roms I've tried

Battery life seems to drain notably faster than on Kingdom Rewind, not sure since before that... been too long for my recollection to be accurate

I'm not sure it runs any smoother or better than Kingdom, which multiple RC3 beta testers mentioned. I would equate them to pretty darn similar, but obviously with less memory available, that means I can run more on Kingdom.

Things that work better here:

HTC Exchange Mail widget. The one I use seems better here because of refresh. When it refreshes, this ROM seems to pick up new/deleted mail more accurately on the widget. The actual app has been fine everywhere I've tried.

Immediately upon bootup, the audio was cleaner (less lag) on the weather widget thing. Since I immediately turn off that sound - I'm not sure once I've set up everything and uninstalled all the "bloat" I don't use - whether that'd still be true or not.

As I said, it runs well, but it doesn't really seem to live up to the hype from the RC3 testers, especially in their comparisons to Kingdom Rewind. (Which I still consider the best Sense 3.0 rom I've tried)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Where are you getting your memory info from? Mine seems significantly higher than any other ROM I've run...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
In RC4, can you add the power + home key combo screen capture?? LOVE this feature.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Process Manager's "Available Memory". I'm talking about ram, not storage. I get the same numbers in Task Manager that comes with this and other roms.

My numbers are also after uninstalling News, Stocks, Peep, FriendStream, Facebook, HTC IQ agent, and some other stuff that would be services. I can easily see how with those, I'd be at the 40-50 the guy before me had.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Where are you getting how much free RAM you have? Mine seems considerably higher than what most people are reporting?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Gotcha...just wanted to make sure I didnt make an ASS of myself and start yelling out..."OH YEAH...IVE GOT 530MB OF MEMORY...blah blah blah!"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
530 meg of ram would be freaking awesome though. I actually got 101 earlier, may try uninstalling the items said above.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Ive got 102, and thats with nothing removed that was originally flashed with the ROM and with my 7 or 8 frequently used Apps restored. Everything seems to be working just fine...and dont really see alot of lag in association with APPs or low memory. I dunno...seems ok with me!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
So... one more thing I noticed... connecting it to my pc... I see the EMMC just fine, but the SD card won't mount to PC.

(I just copied the file to the EMMC then disconnected the phone after safely removing hardware, then used ES File Explorer to copy the file to my SD card)

\Switching to Shooter Rewind since it seems a little more complete. I might come try this again in a later RC or maybe a full release
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Sd card mounted fine for me, used pc to dl shooter straight to sd card
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeffBea:
I've noticed over this past day is that ringtones change randomly with this ROM. Not sure why. Somtimes they are correct for certain contacts and other times they change for no reason to a random ringtone. Strange.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kratz17:
No rush or anything.. but when RC4 will be out? i want to come back to this rom

SUCCESS!!!

Hello world,

I've been working on getting the 6bar status network and the location icon removed. It has been a damn hassle, but I have succeeded! :)

Maybe you don't like the 6bar or the location Icon removed, so, I will have an add-on that reverts it back to stock (IMO 6bar and location icon removed looks cleaner and just overall better) of course that's just my opinion...

Here is a glimpse
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
yes tonight I have to sign and upload the zip and thats all. Should be up within the next hour or so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Who would like to see the Larger 3G icon from the sense 2.1 roms included in RC5
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
Running into some small issues, so only beta testers will have RC4 tonight, sorry everyone.

Goodnight!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RamAir02:
Yeah I'm a fan of the newer icon as well.

Amazing ROM OVO. Thanks. RC3 has been flawless for me. Although I too have low memory available, it hasn't been an issue thus far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OVORene:
anyone have the newer 3g icons? there should be 5 of them if im not mistaking... ???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Those 3G Icons from Inc 2 Release are amazing.

Dont have them though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vonrehcxela1:
Here you go
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vonrehcxela1:
Part 2....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Free ram is running around 110mb. for me on RC4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I think this battery looks alot cleaner and makes the statusbar more uniform. Anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] localceleb:
looks good, but it could be a flashable mod if some people prefer stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Absolutely, this is just my own personal preference. This isnt my rom Im just a beta tester for OVORene, I do have a flashable zip for this if anyone would like to use it. It will work on all the RCs. Just putting it out there:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] localceleb:
Anxiously waiting the release of RC4. I had gps and mms issues with RC2, but the rom itself ran really great on my phone so I'm hoping the new release will fix those problems for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I have tested MMS and GPS, I havnt had any problems with either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] localceleb:
what are the issues that a pushing back the release?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I believe OVO had a problem with his new SystmUI.apk Bootlooping.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Hey Josh!

The battery mod is nice...but does it change the signal bar as well? (to six-bar?)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
No it doesnt battery only. The six bar is in RC4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Here it is if anyone wants it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] z3rods:
Looks great man. I really like Sense 3.0. I'll give it a shot for a few days and see how it performs. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
Must be doing something wrong. I can not get mms over wifi to work on this rom or Joel's. Any ideas ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I have had no trouble with mms over wifi on any of the RCs. Make sure you are doing full wipes and you have data enabled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
Have done 3 full wipes. If mms is over wifi why have data on ? Wondering I have not turn that on. Curious though

Thanks

Dave
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
MMS does not transmit over WiFi. When WiFi is on data is off. The term MMS over WiFi means that data turns on to send and receive MMS then shuts back off all by it's self.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
MMs will not send directly over wifi, what it does is kicks 3G in to send mms without toggling off wifi. This is the way it works even on stock roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
Now thats the best explanation I have heard Nils. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Here is a screenshot of RC4 with the large 3G icons.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i'd give this a whirl, just to try another sense 3 rom...how's the update for the new version coming?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Josh - did you provide a flashable file for that or just cook it into framework?

I love that darn 3G icon!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MightyChigger:
RC4

Any word on when RC4 will be out??? I feel like a kid in the backseat of car yelling are we almost there yet????
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I cooked it into the framework to show you all what it would look like. OVO has added it to RC4.

Does the 6 bar signal mod use all six bars for a full signal or just the first 4 bars?

What's the free memory looking like?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
cool man, i wanna check this out...i hate sense 3 roms for the most part since they run slow on my phone lol but i'm always interested in playing with the newest stuff :-D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
I'm getting 95 to 115 MB. Free
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
This is not slow:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i think we've all got to realize that free memory doesn't mean much. it's all in our heads. but once you hit around 60, then you slow up a bit. we have to realize that in all gingersense roms, these roms were built for phones with more free mem. we're never gonna get the 200+ mb we used to get on stock froyo!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
argh, new market still? lol i hate this thing. oh, is there a way to get rid of the screen-on animation? i like the screen off, but i hate the crt look when the screens turning on. i noticed it's not under display :\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Exactly, the memory has never been an issue for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i'm getting a bunch of market force closes here.

also took like 4 times to get the photo frame widget to goto the desktop. just wouldn't register when i'd hit "save" to put it on the damn desktop.

and wtf is with sense 3 roms, where you hold long press on the screen to add a shortcut, and sometimes the menu starts at the personalize one, and sometimes it starts at the add app one? my damn muscle memory keeps hitting the wrong ones bc randomly it starts in random places! lol

also, i notice the gallery has the same problem as all sense 3 roms in that the last column on the right is cut off. and for your themeing, here's a pic of how it looks a little off:

under "albums", that white should go..if you don't touch the screen, you can see how it just looks wrong. sorry for nitpicking lol but that's a small thing that would bother me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] josh0426:
Havnt had an FC on this ROM yet. Where is the screenshot. Could be operator error:)

I see your pic, but can't reproduce.
