Great ROM! Thanks!

Using HB #2 5.4A update. The default launcher is TWlauncher, and works nice a fast. TWlauncher states it is version 2.3.3 in the applications settings. In post #1842 on 9/16/2011 in the link on TWlauncher 4.5 it looks like someone grabbed version 4.5 from the homebase rom. Is this in fact the version grabbed from the rom? If not, can this safely be installed?

I dont understand how you guys are able to get so much battery time from your phones. I made no calls today, barely used browser and did some moderate chatting via liveprofile and some words with friends and my phone has only made it past 10hrs because I plugged it in. Im underclocked, undervolted, using dark themes and the brightness hack and I still cant get more than 10ish hours from my phone. I thought this rom would be the game changer for me : (

with regards to the hot cpu problem:

can i set the max frequency to 1.2 or 1.1 Ghz instead of 1.3 Ghz with set cpu?

What about the problem with google talk? Authentication is failing but my market seems to be working fine.

Any known fix for this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seanzscreams:
have you started over or went from 1.? to 1.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheToiletSpaula:
I installed base and then installed my apps and settings in it. Once I had that stuff done I updated to 1.4. I always wipe the system, dalvik, and cache.

So the market works for me but the google talk problem is persistent. Also the stock integrated battery manager FC's also.

Edit: btw my google talk did work properly with the base when I installed it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seanzscreams:
i think you downloaded the old 1.4 then

damn so sorry

i changed the download and seperated the experimental versions

unless you just dl it then i gotta figure that out

but if you got it earlier then thats the prob

and if you got the earlier one the only fix is to start over
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheToiletSpaula:
Oh no problem I did download both the base and 1.4 about 12 hours ago. So install the new 1.4 over the old 1.4 or start from the beginning?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seanzscreams:
yeah the base is fine

just dl the new 1.4 it should say homebase1.4updatefixsigned in the megaupload title

start over

and you dont really have to load everything in the base

just flash base

reboot do blur and google

then reboot and flash update

[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
What the heck is journalling...??

And I have the same battery issues as above... iv calibrated before as well... tho Iv never tried that overcharge thingee... when you charge it full then keep pulling out the battery and sticking it in again to give it more charge... it kinda freaks me out :s
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Its the proximity sensor... to turn off the screen when you put the phone to your face when in a call or put the phone in your pocket...

A common complaint of the SGS2 is its same proximity sensor blinks really fast... lots of people find it quite annoying... our is steady tho thankfully... tho I would probably not care if it were blinking either :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GTTG_Atomik:
After a battery calibrate, I get about 36 hours from my battery. After flashing a ROM I get only like 10 hours. The last 2-3% of charging take a really long time, but you have to make sure you have it plugged in until it gets to 100%. I run at 1.3 ghz from 9am-9pm and normal any other time. While on the phone and screen off, it's set for 800 mhz. No UV settings. WiFi and BT on all the time, brightness set for Auto. I use the phone pretty heavily throughout the day texting, calls, Netflix and Pandora.

I'm sure others here get even better. ROM is great after going back to EXT3. EXT4 still a little too buggy for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
Just a little question: couldn find what's "Inverted Extended Settings". Cany someone explain this? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Almost exactly what it sounds like. You keep a journal to remember things, well so does ext4.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
It would be proper to start by asking "what the heck is EXT4 for".

All this hipe about EXT4 for a small gadget is a waste of time and a source of problems... EXT4 is a file system designed for Unix/Linux, high capacity, high performace SERVERS. Journaling is a secure way of using EXT4 (Read after write checks and a bunch of other crap not applicable to a smarphone). Ext4 in the Linux/Unix world resembles NTFS in the Windows world.

Would you think of having a NTFS file system in your phone?.

I think it is wise on the part of Sean to leave EXT4 aside (at least in the ATT phones) and not follow others . Let them put a server file system in a telephone.... crazy... just to create problems for the users.

Yes, EXT4 being more efficient, consumes (in theory) less resources, and hence less battery, but as you can see from the posts in this thread and in particular in others, it creates problems and most people fight not only with battery consumption, but with FCs, Reboots, and so on.

I installed HB 4.2 base and 6.2 update (EXT3) yesterday morning and haven't had a single FC or a reboot. I also flashed a different Theme and mods that I use. The phone performs excellent, Battery consumption is normal, nothing spectacular but neither something to worry about. Just forgot about EXT4 until it becomes a standard in these gadgets, and the most important thing: it becomes a natural component very tied to the OS and the Kernel.

Cheers,

It changes your settings screens (not all of them) to white letters on dark background (the opposite of normal blur)... unfortunately nobody has come out with a mod that changes all of them.

Try it,,, and if don't like there is a revert mod.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdelliott31:
To be devils advocate, if you don't have those that push the envelope you never know what devices ate capable of thus things that can make future devices better. For me the ext3 roms work great from Sean. My battery is solid with fauxs 1.0 enhanced kernel. I don't know about 24 hours. But for about an hour last light had music and internet going and lost about 5 percent. That's great for me. Also like another poster said get the full 100% battery charge as it makes a difference vetsus 97%. Battery calibration in Cwm helps.

Best of luck all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
P.S: I´ve been using HB for a while (after Alien was abandoned) and after spinning for ALL roms in the Atrix Development Thread, where the hipe of EXT4 fills their space and time, I decided that my time was more valuable than reading about installing journal, take it off, FCs, reboots, battery... blah blah. Now none of the others offer to select between ext3 or ext4... they go directly to create problems with ext4 and nobody settles on a secure way of doing it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
It is spelled hype.

Anyway, to fill in spaces he left out, ext4 is the successor to ext3. Developers for the Linux kernel did not want to add things into the ext3 filesystem because they were concerned about stability. Instead, they forked it out into ext4.

Ext4 is designed for servers in the same way all journaling based filesystems are. Ext4 is designed to support larger amounts of data and increase performance while handling data. However, since ext4 uses delayed allocation it has a higher potential for data loss. There are things you can do to mitigate it and if Motorola hadn't left them out, the kernel itself is supposed to be designed to deal with the programming things from ext3 that cause problems with ext4.

On the side of stability, I personally have my own ext4 rom installed and guess what? I also haven't had a single FC or reboot in 2-3 days.

Also, I want to point out that the standard filesystem in gingerbread 2.3? Yeah, ext4. Ext4 by itself is designed for whatever device you want to use it on, you simply turn on and off whatever filesystem features you need for that device.

Hopefully, the next version I release of the scripts will solve the problems you apparently think are pointless to work on. I, for one, don't think sitting on our laurels and waiting for our phones to improve by themselves will really accomplish anything. Progress follows closely upon the heels of failure.

I only have fc on calendar and notepad. Any resolution for this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
You are cool, man. I just don't want people thinking gloom and doom about something that is pretty useful to have :)

I believe I can resolve several issues people are having with simply turning journaling back on to deal with the FC issues and removing extents (useful on a phone, but more useful on a desktop) to bring back the backwards compatibility so people can use existing themes without modifying them.

Then putting up a zip for those who want bleeding edge performance, damn the risks, to flash to remove the journaling and add the other stuff back :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I flashed Aura 1.2.1.2 (EXT4 without journaling) yesterday, (just testing, I'm going back to HB after next update). I haven't calibrated my battery yet (Flashed at around 60%) and I'm getting decent battery. I'm currently at 25% after 1 day, 2 hours, 23 mins with 3 hours, 21 minutes with the screen on w/ Auto Brightness ,4 hours, 31 mins on WiFi, and 11 minutes of calls. Moderate use, heavy texting, (about 500 texts), a few calls, Facebook and Gmail over 3G. I'm running faux's stock enhsnced kernel undervolted (-75 -50 -75 -75 -100 -150 -200).

I think those of you getting poor battery life need to calibrate your battery or messed something up flashing and should do a full fastboot wipe. I'm not have any FC's or reboots, no problems so far. :)

Bit of a random question but how can you increase the java score in CF-Bench? Mines always around 2,000 which brings overall down to like 5800 :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
If your running the Stock Enhanced kernel (1.0 GHz) instead of the OC kernel (1.3 GHz) your scores will obviously be lower. Also some people set their Min and Max clock to 1300 MHz in Set CPU to get the highest score possible. You might also have a lot of applications and widgets running in the background taking up resources which can lower your score.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DroidRunner:
What's the best way to calibrate your battery? Wipe stats or do that guide I've seen before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
I've never acually did a calibrate. Just let the battery drain to 5% and then charge all the way to 100%. Certain ROMs on my phone don't seem to get to 100% but if I flash a different rom it shows the proper percentage.

Anyone using their lapdock with homebase? Also what version of webtop are people using?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Charge your phone to 100% with your phone on, then turn your phone off and wait for the phone to reach 100%, then take out the battery while your phone is still connected to the charger and wait for the missing battery image to come up (?), then put the battery back in, it'll show something low like 5%, let the phone sit there for about 2 hours, it's still getting a charge whether the indicator moves or not, then boot into Recovery, Wipe the Battery Stats, unplug the charger and reboot. Now your battery will fully charge to 100%, before you battery might have thought 100% was at 60% or whatever. Before when you flashed it at say 80%, then after flashing it said it was at 100% you basically lost 20-25% battery capacity.
