[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mahanse:
My wife has had 2 rooted phones now, the first was the hero which got rooted and flashed (cyanogenmod) to gain performance (its a dog with the stock ROM) and get the latest version of android.

She recently upgraded to the Evo and the only way she would let me root her phone and go back to cyanogenmod was if i could replicate the sense calendar widget which she loved (full month view). I ended up finding an app called calwidet from egg n stone which shows an agenda style widget but clicking on it takes you straight to google calendar with the familiar month view she was used to. So far so good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
I have my wife's phone running a stock rom that's rooted only. For her it's just about running apps that either require or work better with superuser permission... like widgetlocker, adfree, etc. It's also useful for removing alot of the crap that comes preinstalled.

I like keeping her phone stock and stable. It's not like she has a crappy phone that I need to hack to make it work right...

I have a total of 426MB internal memory and it says my available memory is only 76MB. I moved the majority of my apps to the sd card. I only have 10 apps on the phone, which can't be moved.

Why would I only have that much internal memory, if the majority of my apps are saved ti the sd card?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
Clear the caches of the applications. Are you rooted? If so then you can partition your SD and use A2SD to move all apps and data to the SD. I have around 387 MB now thanks to that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousteeboy:
And if you are rooted stop looking at the task manager lol cuz I'm sure thats what your lookin at cuz that's what I was lookin at the other day but most ROMs do recommend you partitioning to get space theres no need to kill any applications anymore if your rooted

Depending on the ROM your running if your lookin for space a SENSE ROM is not for you!

You may wanna try a AOSP ROM like VaelPak or CyanogenMod7/Nighties (<--word? o_O) those are the AOSP ROMs I like just cuz there usually smooth with a bunch of stuff in the background!

Hope this helps OP

I'm ordering a spare battery; what is the best way to give it it's first charge / how should I condition it?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] live4nyy:
I don't think a lithium ion battery needs to be "conditioned" since it does not have the "memory" effect. It's usually the battery stats on the phone that can mess up the reading.

I would probably just make sure it is fully charged when switching them to be more accurate. But, I'm no expert...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Vangelis13:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm fairly sure I'd read somewhere that it should be fully charged before turning on the phone for the first time & after that do a couple full cycles (full-empty-full) etc..?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] live4nyy:
Yes, a full charge before using is recommended (I've also heard to let it sit on the charger for a couple more hours after it is charged helps) and maybe a few full "cycles" after that. But, like I said, I'm no expert and I, personally, have had no issues with my battery
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jackinct:
True, it's not for the battery but for the phone stats. Lithium ion batteries are fully conditioned at the factory before being sent out. It's the last step in the actual cell manufacturing process.

Yes, I work for a lithium ion battery manufacturer. We make larger cells (not the tiny ones in a phone battery) but I have contacts and friends that work for other manufacturers that do make the little ones and they're basically all the same.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jbg1:
i ordered too 1800mah batteries cause i couldnt find any 1950s...they both arrived dead i waited 30 mins to charge and turn the phone on, and the other one is extremely dead it shows charging for a few minutes and then the red light turns off

so far the one i charged to 100% isnt working how i would have liked it dropped to 50% within a few hours and i charged it to 100 again and it dropped to 80 very quickly im gonna let it die tonight hopefully i get them to work good
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rlillard:
Sorry about your bad experience.

Don't know what you purchased or the vendor, but I purchased a 3200 mAh batt from Siedio and am quite happy with it. I've been using it for over a month and get heavy use of my Atrix. High quality batteries are not cheap. Don't get the $20 dollar specials. (I have no financial interest in Siedio, I'm sure there are other vendors with quality batteries).

Battery calibration has been a challenge but I think I have a solution. I'll know in a few days as I'm presently recalibrating. It would have been so much easier if Moto had added a 5 cent current sensor to the phone.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] k0sun7eash3d:
I wouldn't worry too much about conditioning it. Just use it like you regularly would any other battery. Most horrible battery life comes from the way Android handles the battery stats. In my experience, most Li-ion batteries seem to really get their most effective use cycles after about a week or 2 of consistent usage. If you're experiencing some really drastic battery drops though, that's when it may be time to recalibrate the battery stats or start questioning the rom/radio/kernel that you're using.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Unbeknowned:
Yep. However, unless you're impatient, charging it to full shouldn't do you any harm ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Jotokun:
For Lithium ion batteries, I've always put them immediately on the charger, let them go to 100%. Then unplug and let it completely die (that is, let it get so low the phone turns itself off) without pluging in. Then charge back to 100%. After that, use as normal. Doing this has gotten me long battery life, both short and long term compared to others I know who dont do that.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Sparx10:
When I bought my phone the Bell representative said to fully charge then discharge the battery. I thought that you aren't supposed to do this though because Li-Ion batteries lose some of their maximum life when you do that. Only Ni-Cad batteries needed conditioning like that.

I could be wrong though. Would be nice to know proper procedure for this kind of thing
[Atrix 4G Accessories] live4nyy:
You're right, lithium ion batteries should

not

be fully discharged but it does help the first time to get the battery reading accurate. After that just charge whenever. It only really becomes a problem if you let it go dead too often.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] k0sun7eash3d:
+1. There's two reasons store reps tell you to discharge and charge the battery at least one complete cycle before using the phone. The first is that they're stuck in the past and think li-ion tech is the same as NiMH. The second and more sound reason is that it helps to set the battery statistics. If you're one of those people who loves to mod their phones right when they open the box, you could theoretically bypass this step by rooting and charging to 100%, and then just doing a manual battery recalibration by wiping the battery stats.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tjdmobile:
Yeah - if these are the Chinese jobs that came with the charger on Ebay, I got them too. They drop REALLY fast down to 5%, then I get at least another 24 hours out of them. It's crazy. I have tried to recalibrate by removing battery stats, but these haven't gotten any more accurate in several full charge / discharge cycles.

I suppose I will use them as spares, and just understand that the meter is not accurate on them. I still get a minimum two days with these cells. Will see how long they last. With batteries, you do get what you pay for.

Hello All,

There are quite a few of us on the Telus Fascinate (T959D) that have gone through a number of upgrades and changes - with a lot of us now running Darkys ROM.

Wanted to post a general thread so we can share MODs and updates with another - tips for enhancements, etc.

Start sharing!

[Darky 10.2.2] >> [SensatioN Theme 1.8.1 JVQ]

Thanks for starting this Thread jpmccarthy!

I have successfully installed the 'SensatioN 1.8.1 JVQ' theme created by Crysis. I personally like the 'clean' feel of this theme along with some of the additional mods built into it:

- CRT screen animation

- Integrated 9 Lockscreens into the theme.

- Extended Power Menu with removed header

- New Battery

- Charging animation

- New Dropdown menu

- New layout for Dialer, Phone, Music Player

- Smaller progress bars

- Smoother, faster progress animation, flawlessly

- New signal and Wifi Icons - blue glow when non internet connection; green glow with internet connection

- New framework-res.apk images

- Over-scroll mod included

- And Much More!!

So basically if you had the EDT previously installed, there is no need for it now seeing that the additional Lock-screens where built into the theme.

These options are built into the actual 'System Settings' as 'TSM Lockscreen Menu' which is neat.

So far I have only encounter one issue, which is actually a known issue for some of the I9000 Roms (Darky's):

- The MIUI Lock screen will soft-boot your phone only when sliding the messages icon to unlock the phone. I do not use this anyways so it's no bother to me. Personally I like the new 'R2D2 Lock screen' :)

Installation:

The Steps I took to install SensatioN 1.8.1 JVQ running Darky 10.2.2 JVQ:

1.) Downloaded the 'SensatioN 1.8.1 JVQ' ZIP file and copied it over to the root of the Internal SD Card.

2.) Boot into recovery mode

3.) Delete Cache Partition: >> wipe cache partition >> Yes - Wipe Cache

4.) Delete Dalvik Cache: >> advanced >> Wipe Dalvik Cache

5.) Select Install ZIP from SD card and select the ZIP file.

Once the installation has completed, reboot your phone.

NOTE: The first reboot will take longer then usually so don't be alarmed. :)

I'm loving this theme. For additional information on this theme, please check out the following thread:

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Sassy - I like that - might have to try it - is there a way to revert themes?

Also, much cooler if you would have got a screenshot of 'rock you like a hurricane' instead of wind of change (personally - I would have went for Dokken anyways!). ;)

Also - what are you using for screenshots? I used to have shootme but lost it in my installs - and now cannot get it off the market anymore.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
At the moment I don't think there is away to actually 'revert' back to Darky's original but they are currently working on an application for the Darky ROMs. The application is called Darky OTA which is still under development but it shouldn't be too much longer now :)

For more information on this application please check out the following:

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/app-darkyota-application.5153/

I have already applied two other themes, one over the other without experiencing any issues but I wouldn't recommend doing this, I just got lucky I didn't Brick anything...Again :)

The screenshot application I am using is called 'Screen Capture Shortcut' and can be downloaded from the market here:

[Fascinate General] Japots:
I posted this in the other thread, but I'm posting it here again for people who haven't seen it: http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/

It basically lets you cook your own theme from a variety of different icons, lock screens, battery indicators, and more. It works by using some framework files you extract from your phone, uploading to their site, and it churns out a CWM flashable zip containing the mods you chose.

I used the sensation theme before, but I actually prefer the homescreen dock of his Revolution theme here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000049

edit: To revert to darky's "stock" theme, just reflash the rom, using No Wipe option in the darky's app

edit4: fixed the screenshot of my homescreen

edit5: htc sense-like widgets are "Weather & Toggle Widgets" and "Weather Widget Forecast Addon"

[Darky 10.2.2] Glass Dialer & Boot Up

I do have the dark knight and rain bootup from Darkys as well (http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/bootanimations-goldies-collection.1316/)

And the black dialer (http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/final-glass-dialer-for-10-2-jvq-jvr-jvs.4607/)

Took some screens but have to find a place to put those :)
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Anyone know where I can find a stock looking theme for DarkyROM 10.2.2 EE? The default looks kinda tacky and far too green for my liking. Ideally, I'd love the Galaxy S Gingerbread theme from the Telus ROM but am having trouble finding it.

Any help?

Actually I was using the dark knight and rain bootup screen at first but I found that it was pretty laggy / jittery on my phone, so i switched to the following:

It runs smooth as silk! :)

[Fascinate General] Japots:
I completely agree with how you feel about the darky theme. I was in the same boat, trying to find the stock Telus theme to write over darkys, but unfortunately, I never found one.

I suggest cooking your own theme using the online kitchen I linked above and choosing the stock gingerbread icons/battery/etc and flashing that instead.

Also, use Touchwiz Launcher as opposed to the stock Gingerbread launcher that's used by default for darky's
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Currently trying the SensatioN theme posted above. It's nice, but if I could figure out a way to turn off that terrible overglow mod and get kinetic bounce back, it'd be most excellent.

Still poking around for a stock GB theme though. If I find something, I'll post it.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Alright... Using this theme.

It's as close to stock Gingerbread as I can find. It still has that stupid Overscroll colour BS, but... overall the ROM doesn't look half assed.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:

Modem Mod

Have you guys altered your modems?

I just flashed the KC modem - easy to flash via the Darky Rom Tool. Not seeing any benefits - or any degradation for that matter. Will let you know as I continue to use it.

Had a few people indicate this is the preferred modem for Canada - and have had a few people flash that use our phones.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
so using KC1 with no ill effects - I don't really have any benchmarks to compare, but my GPS seems to lock quicker, and mobile strength seems to be better - might be placebo ;)

Might be placebo, but had a few guys recommend the KC1 modem so likely will be sticking with that (apparently it also fixes a wifi issue with the JVS ROM for Darky's - I have not yet tried that ROM though).

[Darky XXJVS Base] + [Honeycomb Related Theme]

After talking a bit with jpmccarthy yesterday, I made the decision to Install the XXJVS based DarkyROM. I did a bit of reading on it first and noticed that a number of people were complaining about issues there connection with 3G and Wireless dropping.

I will tell you now that I have had NO issues with my connections dropping, they seem pretty solid. BUT.. There is an issue with the Browser downloading .ZIP files for some reason, the error messages says that 'this type of file is not supported'..Which I find weird but I found a work around for now which works great.

I just installed the app "Download All Files", which basically allows your phone to download almost any file, any extension. Works great.

Other then that I have not run into any other issues on XXJVS.

I also went a head and installed this Honeycomb theme for XXJVS roms and I think I found a keeper! Screen shots below.

I installed it coming from Darkyrom 10.2.2 (JVQ) and used the Darky tool to install it.

Under the DarkyROM tab, the ONLY items I had checked were; Wipe User Data >> Install Kernel >> Install Modem. That's it.

Like I said above, I haven't run into any other major issues and I'm definitely liking JVS based darky rom.

Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Honeycomb theme I am using:

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:

Here is the Honeycomb theme I installed:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172906

This theme doesn't contain any additional lock screens or doesn't change the look for the 'Contacts' app either so what I plan on doling is this:

1.) Going to Install the 'Blue Contacts' mod from the following URL:

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/final-glass-dialer-for-10-2-jvq-jvr-jvs.4607/

[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Also see you have the SwiftX keyboard - have to say that is my GO TO keyboard as well. They hooked me in with their free beta - bought it soon afterward. :o) The blue definitely goes with your theme.

Still restoring apps from Titanium.

Only bug I've noticed - and its in the forums here as well as I noticed and logged it with 2.3.3 when I initially installed - but the timezone keeps going to western argentina (so eastern time while I am on Atlantic time). I have it manually tweaked for the moment - hoping it goes away like it did for 2.3.3 and eventually just *catches* on the right timezone.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Ya, sorry I should of mentioned that I was using the SwiftKey X keyboard. I'm also using GO SMS for my default messaging app. I removed the stock messaging app. Mms.apk

I use to have the same problems with the date / time when I was on 2.3.3, but I now have it set manually, GMT -3, Atlantic daylight time. After flashing a room it sometimes takes a few recharges to get everything to sync up.

So I installed the blue contacts mod and the lock screen mod, both look awesome with this honeycomb theme.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
... still playing. Haven't themed yet - might do that later - think I'm going to charge to 100%, battery calibrate, and then let it power down completely and recharge to get a fresh complete battery into it.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Got the lockscreen working. Twitter contacts not synchronizing and reinstalled my lockscreen calendar.

UPDATE: I tried the theme but did not get the desired results, so reflashed the ROM. I do have the updated lockscreen now (with my lockscreen calendar to get meeting details on the lockscreen - free from the Market) and the animated shut down. Everything is working rather perfectly - I'm also using the KC1 modem instead of the stock one.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
That kewl gingerbread shut off animation

So with all my updates I couldn't get that really kewl shut off animation I see on the Nexus S. Annoyed me - not sure if it just came with JVS or was there all the time, but apparently I just need to enable it.

Settings > Display > Animations

Select ALL or SOME - mine was set to none. ALL or SOME will get you the shut off (not sure what else gets an animated treatment :) )

[TELUS] [T959D] [DARKYROM] [JVS 2.3.5] Update

Hello,

Have a few minutes so wanted to post some feedback on the latest from Darkys.

I am now running Darkys JVS version (BETA) with Dark Core 4.0. This is based on the JVS firmware from Samsung along with Gingerbread 2.3.5. I am also using KC1 Modem instead of the stock modem. Other updates I have used are:

Swift X Keyboard. Been using it a while, my favourite keyboard.

Launcher Pro Plus. My favourite launcher for functionality, speed, and eye candy

Turned on the Gingerbread shut off animation (silly but love it)

Added a custom boot animation

Swapped out the glass lockscreen for the AOSP one that iwebsource linked to.

Also use Lockscreen Calendar to push calendar items out to my lockscreen.

Been only running this a few days but so far here's some things I noticed:

Boot up time. My boot up time is significantly improved

GPS appears to be a lot better with the new modem

I seem to get better mobile bars and 3G+ access with the new modem

Launcher Pro Plus does not crash as often as it was. It was constantly re-loading and I don't see that (yet anyways)

In general speed is greatly improved

Battery life for me is as good as it was with 10.2.2. In fact I had to drain the battery - I put display on full, GPS on, wireless - used GPS on the way home and let a few movies play off my network to get it to die starting at about 11AM was finally able to kill the batter around 9:30 PM

While this is a beta, there's enough benefit for me that I would not go back to 10.2.2 at the moment. I am eagerly awaiting this to be final (along with the new OTA application) but all in all I am finding this to be a very stable ROM that delivers on performance.

Any questions let me know.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Well here is the final result (for now)

Darkyrom JVT RE with honeycomb theme applied. Black JVT contacts

Launcher pro plus

Custom dock background and icons

Widgetsoid for the power bar widget

Trafic monitor widget

World weather clock widget

ZDbox for task widget

Enjoy!
[Fascinate General] Azure1203:
What is the timeline for the JVS version going from beta to stable? I just installed 10.2.2 and it works very well so far.

I'm using the kg3 modem, which I think is the 2.3.5 modem, but I'm not sure. I get an extra bar at the very least. Way more stable too.

Otherwise I love this ROM. I would like to OC though. Get it going to at least 1.2ghz.

Can't believe I was scared of initially flashing my phone when I read the how-to thread.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Not sure about JVS but I am running JVT and it works just as well if not better IMO.
