Can't see why you would still have power issues

Hi Daniel,

That's a bit odd about the power issues, all the beta firmwares I tested past my v2.0 release gave me none of the issues that were widely reported on the firmware that 2.0 was based on. As mentioned before putting the charger lead in will always cause the tablet to wake up as this is hardware not software. However there is the option of putting the charger lead in and long pressing the power button to bring up a new dialog box that says 'Power off to charge' so they have addressed it in a roundabout way. Looking at the firmware you have linked to it looks like he is using the same base firmware as me so if it happens with one it should with the other.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
jeah.. its quite odd i guess..

now looking at a movie or just "occasionaly" the "power off" dialogue pops up.

it wasnt in your previous rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] emprize:
will u implement android 4.0?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tikras:
Hi.

I brought back to life my Ainol Novo8, so I'm lucky to enjoy your new version of ROM. First impression - it's awesome.

Just one thing. I tried to calibrate battery and for this used battery calibration tool from android market. It looks that software not properly working on this tablet. It recognised voltage of fully charged battery (still connected to charger) as just 3011 mV and after calibration done It looks that battery lasts shorter that before. Can you please upload original battery stats file as it is in your ROM? Or maybe you could suggest way of batt calibration better suitable for this tablet?

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tikras:
After having tested v3 firmware for some time now I can say some words. It's not so good as it was looking first minutes. ROM looks very nice, but it's very buggy in the same time. I listed all glitches by importance below;

1) Android Marketplace is behaving by very strange way. First time I flashet this ROM and then updated into 3.1 straight away without even booting it up in between that, marketplace showed many more pieces of software than v2.0 that's right, but if I open any of them it says (it's not compatible with your device). Here it stops, no way to install, what the point of seeing them on the list. Second time reflashed it and did not install 3.1 update straight away, jus set up my google account and was able to download and install all soft with no problems, but had no sync with google calendar, contact and email. Later I flashed that update and first day all was still ok, but later marketplace started to behave the same way, not compatible, bla bla... and it rendered marketplace useless again.... (very important issue)

2) It keeps unmounting SD card (32 gb) constantly itself, it always happening after rebooting or just for no reason after device wakes up. I have to re-insert SD card every time to make it working again. If it will go for longer like that I can damage this quite expensive (32gb) memory (very important issue).

3) ROM keeps crashing quite often, but I can live with that.

4) after some time ROM gets very slow, rebooting resolves issue but not for long time.

5) New ROM lost all tose good advanced hardware video decoding capabilities, not friendly with some avi and no way with mkv files, like stock ROM. ROM v2.0 had this problem resolved, now we came back again. Can live with that though.

6) My USB GPS receiver is not working. But his is not very important.

btw, previous ROM v2 was much better in performance, no any slow downs of crashes, just that power issue and marketplace issue (different).

Can you pls release some pach to fix marketplace issue? Would not like to make clean install after customizing and configuring device for whole week time.

Regards

Hi, Nice work.

I have a problem though, Skype has come pre-installed, When I try to use it i get asked to upgrade then takes me to the market, but it will not update. I cant even uninstall in manage applications, I dont get an option to uninstall.

Another is I get the power tab coming up now and again, also the web browser tab comes up now and again. Any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Which version of the rom are you using?

Hi blackbear145

The Skype contained in this threads version did contain issues but I have no reports of problems with the 3.0 version of my rom which you can get from my site.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
There are some 4.0/ICS Roms . . . however

If you look about there are a couple of clever types who have ported over a semi working port from another tablet but they do have some major issues.

Building a clean 4.0 rom from scratch is difficult without access to the proper Dev tools from the manufacturers so at present there is not much that could be done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Sorry for lack of updates. . .

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates of late but I have been rather busy with work and learning to drive (fellow UK owners will know what a pain it is now days)

There is the 3.0 rom still available on my site and I am currently looking at two base firmwares from the imp3 forums for the next release, one is a bugfix of the version I used the other is a slightly different firmware with some extras and a couple of my fixes already present. As it takes a while to english up and then test each rom progress has slowed a bit but I've not stopped and hopefully by the end of this month I shall have a release ready.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackbear145:
Thanks, This works even better. Keep up the good work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hgshgs:
Great ROM, I guess I wont change my tablet soon, very stable and good.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
New version 4.0 released

[size=+2]Hi everybody, a little longer than planned but a new release is available in the first post of this thread.[/size]

If you are not using the latest release please mention which version you have when posting to help avoid confusion. The zip files end in the version number so V20=2.0 V30 or V31=3.0 V40=4.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
Well done.. will try tomorrow.

What is your take on the ICS that are out there? still cant run it because of the touchscreen driver not fully working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
ICS would be nice

I have not been keeping a close eye on the ICS threads but it still looks like early days for it, it's great to see what some of the really good Android rom cookers can come up with.

If any of their releases get to a stage where they could be an everyday firmware then I would love to make a release with all my extras in but at present I still only have one unit and it's my daily driver/release tester so can't really afford to risk it on ICS testing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
I'd say now, the only thing missing on the ICS versions are the graphics drivers.

They've solved the jitter issues to 85% i'd say.. give psquare's a go!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
Rom seems good and responsive.. Get a whole lot of google maps errors , dont know why (still shows up every now and then)..

also, i cannot connect to my wifi. (before, all i needed to do was rename the wifi ssid and it would find it, this didnt work now).

UPDATE: wifi solved with router restart..

Rom works very good.. Got pixel issues in game "Sprinkle" though? (spritebug?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Google errors

Hi Daniel,

With the Google errors is it while trying to browse the maps or are you getting the FC when starting the app (as mentioned it needs a data connection to work now)

Shall try Sprinkle later on, working on 4.1 update over the weekend as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
Got google maps errors before i had an internet connection on the device..

So, i think they disappeared when i was able to get online.

D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Yep that's Google Maps now

Hi daniel,

Yep that's Google maps behaviour now, drove me to insanity the first flash I did with the updated apk as I could not work out why it was not working :( Can't see why they could not put a 'This app needs a data connection' popup so you're not left wondering what ou have done wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
any update on GPU driver? to fix sprinkle sprites?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Sprinkle bug

Hi daniel,

Just tried Sprinkle Free this morning and did not get any texture errors. Can I ask if you can take a screenshot/photo with camera so I can see where they appear.

Also have you got Chainfire3D and Pro key installed? The Beta EGL driver that you get with the PRO key is pretty good stuff even for non Tegra duties and does make a difference so might be worth giving it a try and see if that does the trick. If you try it, install Chainfire3D and run once to let it setup (just exit after the menu appears) then install the pro key and run again to unlock the beta driver installer. then let it reboot and just try running Sprinkle without altering the settings in Chainfire3D.

UPDATE I tried Sprinkle Free on my reflash just now and at first there was a problem with black tiles round the border then when I went to retry it to take a screenshot the issue disappeared. most odd.

UPDATE 2 Tried Sprinkle some more and this time just got the foreground stuff like the fire truck, houses, fire and characters. Installed and activated ChainFire3D and set it up to use the NVIDIA plugin (had not done this before now) and Sprinkle detects the tablets Tegra-ness and not only runs without issue but adds some extra pretty effects :)

Regarding you psquare ICS post, given the graphics driver is pretty much the most important aspect for smooth running of the tablet I'm waiting until there is some sign of there being a working driver. At present it's a bit like running your top end gaming rig with the windows VGA safe mode driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daniel.eriksson:
Interesting.. i tried chainfire free. didnt see much difference. will try paid later and let you know.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrMex:
Hi,

very nice rom, but why I've only 2GB storage left :(?

My device is the 8GB white one.

Also it would be realy nice, if you could use your language file and overwrite it with the other language (like german ;) ) because if I choose german, some unknown words are in chinese and this is impossible to understand - better would be, if untranslated words are english :)

Greetings
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thanksgiving60:
baseband unknown???

thanks for the rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Nothing to worry about

The baseband information relates to the mobile (or cellular) hardware that a normal mobile phone has. As the tablet does not have a 3g modem or similar built into it there is nothing present to flag up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blackbear145:
Ive forgotten how to install the update, can someone point me in right direction.

thanks

You should stick with the stock Video/Media Player. After all the strength of these China made tablets lies within the video playback capability which supports all kinds of formats and playbacks using hardware decoder.
[HTC Amaze 4G] el_ochito:
I'm 99.9% sold on the Amaze, I will probably be ordering this weekend.

One niggling doubt is the s-off issue. I see that it hasn't been achieved yet, though you can unlock the bootloader via the HTC.com dev code, and that allows perma-rooting and Custom Roms to be installed.

My questions are:

What would S-off achieve? Would there be more impressive roms that use the space and/or resources from /system or somewhere else that can't be touched without S-off? Is a CM 9 possible for the Amaze without S-off? In the CM forums, the "last" word so far is that it hasn't been included on the official list because "it doesn't even have S-off yet".

Is there a difference warranty-wise? I understand the _possible_ implication of asking HTC for the code, they have you in some database that says you unlocked the bootloader. But as for the device itself, is one undoable and the other not?

I understand that flashing kernels would be harder without s-off because it would have to be done via adb, I think I understood. This is no big deal in itself.

Finally: if you unlock the bootloader via the HTC code, and weeks or months down the road an exploit is found to gain S-Off, are you hosed because you used the code and didn't wait?

I'd like to know so I can make my decision before getting the phone. If it's very disadvantageous to use the code rather than wait for S-off, for one reason or another, then I'd have to decide if I can live with only temp-rooting the device.

I am not going to use it on T-Mobile, I'm in Venezuela and will use it with my carrier here, so the unnecessary bloat will be even more of an annoyance, because on top of it sucking, it won't even work; so it would be important for me to at least root to get rid of it.

I'm sorry if my questions are too expansive, I picked up bits and pieces of information in other posts, but none of them answered these questions clearly. Thank you very much to all those who can help me answer them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I don't know where to start with all of your questions but I will do my best.

The difference between S-OFF and Unlocked bootloader is that with S-OFF you can flash anything including a radio and supposedly it would give us the ability to update the kernel by recovery. With an unlocked bootloader we cannot update the radio or kernel but can pretty much change everything else. An unlocked bootloader is required to root your device and remove all the bloat that you don't like. You can temp root the device to remove that bloatware however they will re-appear after a reboot. It has been under some debate if in fact using the unlock_code.bin file provided by htcdev is going to void your warranty if your device would require servicing. If it's vital to know that information then call HTC to inquire before unlocking.

Regarding CM9, it is possible but slightly inconvenient since CM9 would almost certainly require a different kernel and since we cannot flash kernels by recovery it would have to be done in a very certain order. Is it currently in the works? To my understanding, yes! Any idea when you can see it as a download here in the forums? Not at this time. Check back daily because things change frequently! ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] el_ochito:
Thanks a lot for your response, Binary. I see you have an Amaze and have indeed unlocked its bootloader, so I guess the real question would be: when and if s-off is achieved, will you be able to do it even though you've already unlocked the bootloader with the .bin file?

Warranty would be terribly hard for me to take advantage of anyways after the initial check. If I don't RMA the unit, then I'm pretty much gambling on the fact that it will work well no matter what, since sending it back to the US from Venezuela would be a major PITA, so I don't really care much about voiding it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
There is no reason that having an unlocked bootloader will interfere with being able to obtain s-off in the future because we can always relock the bootloader when (or if) it comes down to it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gcd0318:
Your words helped me a lot. I was thinking about the diff between s-on/off and lock.unlock bootloader for long. Thanks so much

I have had this phone going on a month now I would say this problem started about a week ago. The phone (not on the charger) just gets hot and the battery life dips tremendously. (The phone is stock unrooted) I used to be able to get at least 14 hours out of the phone with normal use and 3g on, now i get about 7 hours before i have to plug it up again. The phone can be in my pocket idle and I can feel it heating up, I have never had a device do this I am at a loss right now because the main reason I sold my evo was because of the rave reviews of the phones battery life and all of a sudden that is just gone. I tried searching the forum before posting and found nothing with regards to this problem, If there is another thread like this I do apologize it was simply overlooked.

Any suggestions??? Thanks in Advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s049031:
Could just be a Los, try sending a text or making a phone call the next time it happens...

Usually when I have a ghost Los, my phone will heat up and the battery drops. If you can't send a text, go to your task manager and go to the RAM tab and clear memory. That usually helps, but if it doesn't work, just reboot.

This happened to me once. While phone was in pocket battery life nosedived and temperature skyrocketed. Wasn't LoS. Looked at running apps/services and saw that AP Mobile was running out of control.

It was probably just a fluke but since I wasn't using it anyway it seemed like a no-brainer to hide it.
