Twice as short as in Windows

I really love Android on my TP2 and I'm amazed how well it's running on it. Really impressive, the only thing I'm less happy with is the battery usage. Even on stand-by it lasts at less then in Windows mode.

I've been comparing it now for a few days: I can do at least 1 day with a charge in Windows mode (sometimes even 2 days), but in Android mode I have to change before lunch time and before dinner to get through a day. Even while doing more or less the same things. (Turning off WiFi, GPS, sync etc do not seem to save much).

So, I'm afraid that I can only enjoy Android while there is power outlet nearby. This is really too bad as I would simply love to get rid of the whole Windows install.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Well with no SIM in of course it would last days. One dev found our port could run 65+ hours in this manner...

C'est la vie, read above. Android will never, ever be as frugal with your battery like WinMo is. Which do you want, Android and crappy battery or WinMo and good battery? Choice is yours, no one is forcing you either way. Can't have both tho.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mbellot:
I've actually been pretty happy with FRX7.1 and battery life. I'm consistently getting 24+ hours with my usage (mostly data, some talk).

WinMo would easily go 50% more, but a full day is enough that I can forget to put it on the charger at night and not be dead in the morning.

FaluSeyi - If it's not direct usage I would check to see if you have GPS accidentally turned on, in my experience that seems to be the thing that kills my battery if I forget to shut it off when I'm done using it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] FaluSeyi:
Blame the guy that changed the phone casing before I was given the phone. lol. The front says Sprint and under the battery cover it says xxxRHOD500.

I rarely use BT, cell and messaging are my regulars and of course data. wifi doesn't work, though I wonder if it ever goes off. That leaves GPS, which I think is almost always on.

Thanks, y'all!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Well if you know this, then say that. :rolleyes: Your first post would make me think that the Sprint TP2 is a RHOD500, which simply is not true.

Wifi works fine. GPS is broken to always on, read the FAQ. That's the reason your battery life sucks, you don't know how to read!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] map-maker:
The FAQ says something about getting a position fix, but I couldn't see anything about switching it off. How is that done? Or can't it be done?

The Desire ran 92 hours before it demanded a charge up, including the 40 minute stint on GPS + program with always on backlight. 10 month old OEM battery used daily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
:rolleyes:

It's a bug with our port. Once GPS is turned on/used, it is 'stuck on' until you manually turn it off. This bug is fixed in the new GB build.

You couldn't see how to turn it off? Settings --> Location & Security. Wow... from a native device owner, I'm kinda surprised.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zooster:
New GB build? Nice news... I thought it was a dead project by now :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Ye have little faith!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] map-maker:
Heh, it 'just works'(tm) and I haven't had to turn it off manually. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zooster:
Faith is the last thing to die... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamingman:
My Desire has been S-OFF and I'd like to refresh it with RUU. What should I pay attention?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
According to this information - nothing.

Bootloader version mainly and RUU version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HtcDesire2:
Do u have custom HBOOT?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
Is your hboot 6.93.0001? If it is, flash hboot downgrader from AlphaRev site then just flash RUU over it. Also make sure your RUU is the latest one and not an old one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
also running a RUU does not necessarily "refresh" it.. you'd do exactly the same with:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata (or data can't remember which)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery (you'll need to flash recovery again)

So might as well not risk bricking it with a RUU in case something goes wrong..
[Android Apps and Games] GutenYe:
I release a abt(Android Backup Tool) project. It's opensource and available in github.com/GutenYe/abt

backup uses rsync and from cmdline. It's all rsync and it's fast, flexible.

Features

Use Open Source Technologies: rsync

Fast: behind rsync

Flexible: you can configure which files need to be backup in a plan text.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] starrwarrior:
This mod allows for mirroring in landscape mode using the MirrorService.apk from Photon. Output is scaled up from the native resolution up to 1080p if your display supports it.

I am still in the process of trying to better package this so it will not wreck havok on existing installs. Any updates will be posted here.

Flashing this will likely result in problems for you, so be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.

-you must wipe data

-restoring apps with TiBu will likely not work

-could possibly break market installs / updates

-this will NOT work on CM7

-webtop will not be available over HDMI

Here's a link to the CWM flashable zip:

http://96.126.112.115/HDMI-landscape-0.1.zip

I have personally tested this with Aura Rom 1.2.2.2 Deblur, but I have no reason to believe it won't work on other blur based roms.

Standard disclaimers apply-- Not responsible for data loss or if your phone catches fire etc.

Update 11/16/2011: It seems like this can be more reliably included in a rom vs. being added later due to the nature of how the mirror service works. I have successfully modified a version of Aura to include this and have been running it with much fewer issues over the past few days.

Method 2: This is the exact process I have used most recently. It resigns your entire rom to avoid any signature mismatch related issues.

You will need:

Apk Manager

A copy of your ROM zip file

a program to modify the contents of the zip (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)

HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip containing all the files needed to get mirroring working

Instructions:

1. Extract Apk Manager to a folder somewhere

2. Extract all the apks from your ROM (/system/app for most, Aura has these in /debloat/app), be sure to include /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the provided MirrorService.apk, to the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder where you extracted Apk Manager.

3. Delete all the apk's in the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder that should not be resigned. (Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk, etc)

4. run Script.bat in the Apk Manager folder and run option 16.

5. Drag all the apks you just re-signed back inside your ROM zip file to overwrite the existing files. (don't forget that framework-res.apk needs to go in the /system/framework folder)

6. Copy the remaining needed files inside the HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip to their corresponding location in your ROM zip. /system/lib/ & /system/framework need the following files:

/system/framework/com.motorola.android.iextdispservice.jar

/system/framework/com.motorola.android.imirrorservice.jar

/system/framework/com.motorola.android.inativehdmiapis_v1.jar

/system/lib/libmirrrorjni.so

/system/lib/hw/overlay.tegra.so

7. You can now flash your modified ROM image!

This method will leave you with a working Webtop if your ROM already included the option to allow webtop over HDMI.

Be warned, using the webtop will very likely cause the mirroring to malfunction until you reboot your phone. As long as you don't use the webtop in a given boot, the mirroring works great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scores87:
Will you post your version of Aura with the mirroring enabled? or will you wait for diviance to update aura?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] starrwarrior:
I have PM'd Diviance, still waiting to hear back. Didn't want to put anything out there without permission. Nottach has it in the latest DarkSide rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alcapone263:
is it the completely debloat edition? if so, can you PM it to me as well? i personally don't like dark themes ROMs, as awesome as Darkside is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
@starwarrior,

Great job, first of all!

Did you (or anyone else) find some of the instability included not being able to install specific apps, or move apps to sd without hot reboots?

Just curious to see what your experience has been. If not, please let me know what ROM and process you used exactly.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
great job mate, just wondering if webtop over hdmi still works with your modified apk? i read the other thread a bit but didnt really find a conclusive answer. thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
Nice finding Starrwarrior! Just CWM flashed hdmi-landscape.0.1.zip on my atrix and still can't believe HDMI landscape mirroring works :) Even if it's at a lower res than 720p o_O You just made my cellphone one hell of a of awesome purchase !

Since I got a day off today, I'll try the resigning method on the alienv4 rom and hope that in the end, webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd AND weptopscripts can all coexist on atrix with this rom.

One question though: do you mind if you list every apk (except for Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk) you excluded from resigning please ? Even though it's from a different rom, I am taking a shot through the dark here lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] starrwarrior:
Those are the only Google Apps that I know of that generally get updated. As a rule of thumb, if it is updated via the market it would be a bad idea to re-sign it. Worst case scenario you can just adb push the original one back to your phone from your ROM's zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rayan:
Totally awesome Starrwarrior!!!

Will try Method 2 on the first chance I have!

Cheers!

Rayan
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
Thanks for the feedback starrwarrior. Although I went ahead before looking at your post and avoided resigning MOST of the apks except the blur ones lol...

I can now confirm that modding alienv4 with your second method makes webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd and webtopscripts work altogether on my Bell Atrix (after fixing the RAM issue, but for me I had it only happen on the stock ATT gingerbread and the alienv4 rom; it didn't happen on CM7 BaT2). As long as webtop wasn't booted before using HDMI mirroring, it's smooth sailing for me.

(edited after further playing with modded alienv4 rom)

I realized I broke google market (no big deal, just reflashed old version of gapps) and every blur-related app (maybe a big deal because of the following sentence -_-)

I also broke ringtones/notifications (in settings --> sounds, phone doesn't detect ANYTHING and I can't assign ANY ringtones/notifications; I even tried RingDroid and Ring Commander and I get a FC every time...)

I'll admit I just blindly followed the 2nd method though.

(edited again after redoing starrwarrior second method of rom editing of alienv4)

I just ONLY EXCLUDED resigning gmail.apk, maps.apk, superuser.apk and youtube.apk. I resigned the rest of the apk in the alienv4 rom.

Now I have ringtones back and I can finally reassign them. Webtop over HDMI, webtop2sd, webtopscripts AND HDMI landscape mirroring (still at a lower res than 720p though) still work althogether. I'll play with this modified rom for a while and reediting my post after a few more days.

If all's well, I'll try to PM kennethpenn afterwards, even though I read that he doesn't have the time to support this rom anymore :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
You are the Atrix HDMI mirror GOD!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Is there any chance that this mod will be applicable to a stock ROM (preferably without completely wiping it) at some point or is it looking like this is pretty much what you will have to do?

Would be rad to see an all in one .zip to flash ;) cheers man really appreciate the effort.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dubyajaysmith:
Incredible

:D Tried method 2 with Pi Crust .8 once, in a bit of a time crunch, but no go. Guessing didn't take all the correct app files out of /system/apps/. Took out one's in OP and couple more I thought fit the bill. I'll give it another shot soon before I set up my webtop.

Backed up and had darkside running just to smile and show the fellow co-working, android heads today. Thanks again for revamping the Atrix once more! I'll post Pi Crust if I get it working I suppose. Navalynt posted in it's OP that he kinda made it for stuff like this (though I'll double check :) and webtop/FP scanner always has worked well for me on it. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scores87:
Has some used this in alien?

Does it work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dubyajaysmith:
Last post, 1st page said it works
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
It just me or this awsome mod had a little downside: resourses consuming. It seems it slowdown phone a little. Specially poaying games. Play is good but not as fluid than playing only on the phone...

Thats strange, tho, since photon have the same HW. Maybe a ROM optimization issue?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
@ nelsonw

I played around with my modded alienv4 rom for the weekend. On my atrix, I didn't notice any slowdown while playing on fpse nor n64 with ps3 controller connected on bluetooth. That's with HDMI mirroring. On webtop, it lags a bit but it's not unbearable, even with a firefox window open at gamefaqs.com lol. I wish I had a photon for testing purposes.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

@ starrwarrior

I got a potentially huge issue on webtop since I applied the mod. On my modded alienv4 rom, I can use my ps3 bluetooth keypad on the android view window BUT NOT OUTSIDE of it. I can't type in any app in ubuntu with the bluetooth keyboard BUT I can still use the onscreen keyboard and trackpad on the atrix... how weird... It's as if I never activated bluetooth keyboard in webtop. Does this happen to you too on any bluetooth keyboard or mouse? If you're not using webtop, never mind the question lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
I played with NFS HP and Shadowgun... on Darkside 2.8.... thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Will this mod work with 2.3.5 Rom like Darkside 3.0?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Takenover83:
Of-course. Darkside 2.8 is 2.3.5, and contained this mod.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
No. DS 2.8 is 2.3.4 ans have this mod. DS 3.0 is 2.3.5 and DON'T have this mod due all problems it causes...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Takenover83:
I could of swore DS 2.8 had 2.3.5...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Can you share what games for n64oid you were able to play full speed (I am also able to play FPSE game full speed with no problems)? And also what ROM where you using. I tried Super Mario 64 and it constantly stutters on Darkside 2.8 while HDMI mirrored and using a PS3 controller. I just am curious whether I need to just use whatever ROM you are using, or if this particular game is just a tad bit too much for all those things to be running at once.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shibbybypass:
I did method two on Aura debloat edition and it works perfect so far. My market is working and webtop is still functional. So far so good. I am not getting a very high resolution but it works and has made me a happy Atrix owner once again! Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
@ shibbybypass

Did you try connecting a bluetooth keyboard in webtop? Because I can connect mine but I can't type in any webtop app except in android mobile window... (Also, my atrix screen trackpad and keyboard are still active even though it's NOT supposed to...)

@ daneren2005

So far, on N64oid 2.5.0 with HDMI mirroring, I only tried Zelda 64 and Ogre Battle 64. I put frameskip to 3 in order to run without stuttering. I also tried Mario Kart 64 but I ended up deleting it because it stutters too much, HDMI mirroring OR NOT, no matter what settings I changed. I'll try Super Mario 64 later and see if it works. At first glance, I don't think your rom is the issue. Earlier version of N64oid stutters a lot in most games for me lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shibbybypass:
I don't have a bluetooth keyboard yet. Most of the games I have tried seem to work pretty smoothly. I will update with some N64OID a little later.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
While OC'ing to 1.3 GHz Super Mario 64 became playable. There were still occasional slow downs but for the most part it was doable. I tried out a few more games like Pod Racer and even with stock clock (1 GHz) they ran just fine so I think Mario is just a demanding game.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
@ starrwarior and shibbybypass

After playing some more with my atrix, I can now confirm that my ps3 bluetooth keypass WORKS now on webtop. Sorry for the false alarm guys. Please ignore what I said earlier; I had to reboot my phone AND reset my BT keyboard like 3 times to make them work as intended lol.

@ daneren2005

Thanks for the tip about OC... I totally forgot about that. I just read that Faux123 just updated his atrix kernel with ZRAM support (which means less memory issues on webtop, hopefully). I still am on stock alien kernel (non-overclocked) so I will give this 1.3 OC GB kernel a try for Super Mario 64.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Extor3D:
Thanks for this mod Starrwarrior.

I tried to use it with method 2 in Aura 1.2.2.2 debloat but when I plug it in a HDTV I get portrait Mirroring. =(

Do anyone know what I did wrong and how I can fix it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Did you by any chance use a landscape app? Your homescreen by default is going to show portrait...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
I had the same thing but only used my launcher, which would flip around but still just in portrait mode.

Was going to try again but it was a pain with TB not restoring apps without random reboots.

Hope the CM team gets this working soon too!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Extor3D:
I only tried the launcher and going into de settings menus. =P

I'll try with a landscape game when I go to my home at night.

If it's that, I'll fell like an idiot. XP

EDIT: I tried with a monitor with HDMI input here at work. And no, I tried with PES2011 and Destinia, the first didn't boot (black screen on phone and monitor) the other was in portrait.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Re downloaded files and checked steps, same results.

Perhaps CWM version is incompatible. Boo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
I think CM7 Weekly #3 has landscape mirroring people !!

It was in the changelog,

'and adds extra apk and overlay from Photon'

Anybody please confirm?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Nope. Just tried it. Still portrait only.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zero-K:
From what I read before, this change wasn't just for the Atrix. It was for another phone, but rolled into all CM7 updates.

On Atrix you must delete system/app/DockService.apk it uses the DockService-dev.apk instead. Or you copy the DockService-dev.apk to another rom and del DockService.apk. DockService-dev.apk shows up all Options.
