[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aoidcool:
We’ve been hard at work on CM9 since Google released Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) into the wild last month, and things are slowly starting to come together. Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations. A number of devices are already up and running with CM9, and the focus is currently on getting as many devices ready as we can. The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos. We also have some Tegra2 tablets in the pipeline such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer. Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan. And sorry Droid1 owners, we’re dropping support for you. Time to upgrade.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] BezantSoft:
What do you recommend if we have to keep our Droid1?!?

I have no philosophical problem with the Droid1 not having the latest and greatest CM ROM. I can get along without CM7 on the Droid1, since I will be going that way with my Droid Bionic "real soon now". (I'm kinda, sorta, used to this class of support, since I have about 6 Win XP/Pro boxes and a SBS 2003 server here on my SOHO network. All the current best boxes for me and my digital nerds are dual booted running top end Win7 and several flavors of Linux.

So, what is the last build that we should use, how long will it be supported and will security fixes be available?

Thanks,

/s/ BezantSoft
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrGit:
And you plan to make this seem official... How? If the CyanogenMod developers actually said that, I might have a few unkind remarks about forced hardware upgrades to share.

For the record, I am not complaining about the lack of official CM9 support, the fact that ICS on the Droid1 would likely be a slow/buggy/needless upgrade, or anything along those lines.

What I might complain about is that the Droid1 is the most recent Android phone I would buy. Nothing newer has an unlocked bootloader, a better physical keyboard (well, minus the Nokia N900, but that's not without its issues either), a comparable screen, and the second-hand advantage: No carrier contract/spying or data plan required (Google Voice over WiFi FTW), cheaper than dirt for mobile software development, and wide availability (unlike certain Maemo/MeeGo phones).

Until a developer phone appears that meets my stingy requirements, I will continue using my Droid and experimenting with Linux software on it. I only wish that waiting for other people to do what I should be doing was easier, secure in my knowledge that someone else in the world cares about the same things I care about. What can I say, I'm lazy.

TL;DR: Telling people to upgrade when they don't have a choice is counterproductive IMHO.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] selfinflicted1:
That first post is a quote from the cm blog. So it is 100% true.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] happycube:
I think a kang will show up sooner or later. There are plenty of other interesting OMAP3 devices (Nook Color for one) which should get ports, and OMAP3 doesn't have to lose 60-100MB of RAM to the radio, so with compcache and good tuning 256MB might actually be enough.

It really depends on if OMAP3 HW accell can work fully under ICS. If the Nook Color runs well, so should the Droid...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsac:
so your complaint has nothing to do with software development, but with handset manufacturers. What does that have to do with CM saying they won't support what amounts to a 1st gen device?

but you do have a choice. either upgrade, or you're stuck with whatever they've already built.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mr. Argent:

Well, someone'll port ics to this 3 year old POS i'm stuck with for another year.

I'd rather have a current os that doesn't run well than a outdated os that does.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Haro912:
Why????
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mr. Argent:
Having no money for a off-contract phone and not being able to upgrade for a year, I have to do something to keep my original droid usable for a year. I find knowing there's a major update available and not getting it due to hardware issues annoying when the g1 got it (even if it was a laggy mess, at least it's not 2.3), which impacts it being what I consider usable.

(Also, I don't want ics launcher. Beneath the veneer of modernity it's still that stale old gingerbread.)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] durandgir:
I'm in the same boat as you, I have no upgrade for a year. so i'm stuck with my D1. and i agree with your other statement a g1 can handle it yet no one is making an attempt in porting it to the D1 on top of that a 6 year old htc windows mobile phone has it with like 134mb of ram. and yet the droid still has no port whatsoever
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I'm on joelz prime xl 3D r43 and my battery life is horrible. I get and hour everyday and barley using it. When I stare at my battery percentage I can see it goin down ever minute.

Can someone give me tips on how to save battery life or something

Bcuz when I flash Jermains stock its Rom battery life is good again (I get about 3 hours on that)

And there's nothing wrong with my battery or phone
[Droid Incredible General] jackbtha1:
Have you ever dropped your phone in water at all? Maybe you have a bad battery, because those battery stats are worse than even running complete stock. Post all of your info, Hboot, radio, kernel, etc. And hopefully we can help you out with your issue.
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
Hboot: .92

Kernel: Tinys gingersense 11/19

Radio : 2.15.00.0808

And no never dropped it in water
[Droid Incredible General] miketwoms:
that sounds unreasonably bad. I'm on Joelz Prime, too, but I think only up to R40. I doubt there's anything in those last few commits to cause this, though. Try re-flashing, wiping battery stats, and give it a few cycles then reevaluate things. What apps are shown in the "Battery Use" settings menu?

Failing that, could be some hardware issue causing a short or something that's draining things... There have been cases where water or other damage can kill the battery life. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I reflashed 3 times and still horrible battery life .

Water never got on my phone .

And in battery use nothing major is running . Except like display, os ect.
[Droid Incredible General] miketwoms:
real strange, man... you know anybody else with an Incredible or Evo whose battery you can swap and try for a day?
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I have 3 batterys and they all work the same
[Droid Incredible General] OnceAMatrixMan:
I've been using Joelz XL 4.0r42 for a few days now and I can say battery life is a

little

worse than 3.9, but not down to 3 hours. I change overnight, disconnect at 7:30am and charge again at 11pm. But that is with 5 or less calls, 10 texts, and emailing only.

Could email be on push? Did you try the power settings under tweak? I have tried normal and performance and see no difference. Someone said that one of the widgets was killing performance in an earlier post (in the PrimeXL thread), maybe the same widget is killing the battery too?

Related question: When should you wipe battery stats? Full charge, almost dead battery, at ROM flashing only?
[Droid Incredible General] miketwoms:
I dunno, then... try leaving it in Airplane mode for a little while, to see if it's something radio, etc.-related. otherwise, something's probably wrong with a hardware element somewhere along the line. I hope you're able to solve the issue.

I've read a tip to do this:

-get battery full before installing ROM

-wipe battery stats and flash new ROM

-Let it settle in, set it up a bit, then fill up the battery again

-go back to Recovery and wipe stats again, while it's full.

I'm not clear on the logic behind it - could be somebody's superstitions - but it's not a difficult step to take in the hopes that it does some good.

there are others who said they run a script at shut down to wipe them every time the phone reboots. Seems like everyone has their little tricks.
[Droid Incredible General] TeeRom:
This may be a long shot, but my guess would be some kind of internal hardware issue. Maybe there's a problem with the micro USB port and it's not actually fully charging the batteries.
[Droid Incredible General] watt9493:
Shut the phone off and charge it till the lights green. And if you want any kind of battery life, sense is not the rom to be on. Especially 3.5.
[Droid Incredible General] rafa0794:
Try underclocking it

Try underclocking it. This saves my battery life by a lot!!!:)
[Droid Incredible General] wayneb02:
Do you use apps that stay using data? Like a messenger?
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
Nope
[Droid Incredible General] wayneb02:
What apps you have? if you don't mind

Live wallpaper?
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
Nope

Btw my battery die so much faster with wallpaper its ridiculous
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
There are tons of things that effect battery life and tons of things to save battery. Underclocking, undervolting, lengthning time between syncs, increasing wifi scan interval, lowering screen brightness, keeping running services to a minimum. However even with your phone set to max performance settings with all the bells and whistles on, you should still get more than 3 hours out of a charge. If multipul batteries give the same results, i would say its hardware related, or your charger is messed up and its not charging or messing up the batteries.
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I wiped battery stats andseeing where that leads me

Right now when I wiped it and I played modern combat 2 for an hour and my percent is 61

So ill say imma get 2 hours out of my batt?

Hey I see progress ! :D
[Droid Incredible General] wayneb02:
Lol, pretty much any game you play is going to drain your battery
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
Yea ik but usually wen I play that game my battery would be over in 45 mins
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
Just got the dock a few days ago and it charged up fine the first day. Then a few minor glitches started.... the tablet wouldn't wake up from keyboard input or trackpad input. Now, the dock wont charge at all.

Dual battery widget shows it at 0%, and when I apply the charging cable, the LED shows green (when the tablet is at 100%). So it's almost as if it doesn't even see the dock battery.

Any ideas? :confused:

UPDATE: This issue has been SOLVED! See post #3 for my solution.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
If you just got it, then it is in waranty. I would send it back for repair since they will replace it with a functioning one. My dock did this (although it was, like, a week after my newegg waranty expired) and I sent it into asus and they replaced it in a little under 5 days.

On a side note, have you tried removing the transformer, waiting about 10-15 seconds, and then replacing the transformer back on the dock (while the dock is not charging). Also, does the transformer show it is charging when you put it in the dock with under 90% charge? The dual battery widget sometimes says I have no charge on my dock when I clearly do. To fix it I just remove my transformer from the dock, wait a little, and put it back in aaaand: voila, it works perfectly.

Oh yea, and try disabling "power saving mode" in the settings under input if you want to wake up your tablet with the keyboard or trackpad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
Dyskmaster,

Thanks for the tips. I tried all of your suggestions, and nothing worked. The weird part was - every time I plugged in the dock, the light displayed solid green (indicating 100% charge on both batteries), but dual battery showed 0% charge on the dock. This got me thinking that the dual battery widget was not reporting correctly.

I then found a tip on another Android forum that suggested plugging in the dock to a USB port on a PC - waiting 5-10 minutes - and then trying the AC wall charger again. I did this, and boom.. the dual battery widget showed 100% on both batteries.

It's been working fine for about a week now, with no repeats... I have no idea what the problem was. My only guess is that the dual battery widget freaked out the first time the dock went to 0% charge. It seems it's reporting fine though now, even after the dock hits 0%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adibir:
I have this problem too, the led in dock always blinking in orange and dual battery always shows 0% ( of Dock) and i also changed the charger and changed the roms , but still not charging, what should i do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arberyn:
Fixed for me too

I had RMA's my TF101 as it had completely died on my following ICS upgrade, Asus returned my tablet with ICS 4.0.3. For around 3 days I was using it very happily, no more reboots, no screens of death, I was so happy.

Then one morning after recharging my tablet while docked, I checked the dual battery monitor and it showed the dock battery rapidly fluctuating from 100% to 0%, it would show fully charged when plugged into the wall.

I was about to RMA the keyboard when I saw your post, plugged the keyboard into my laptop USB, left it probably 5 mins, then attacehed the tablet, dual battery widget showing both batteries correctly and no flucuating readings.

Thanks again

When you plugged the dock in to the usb, did you get a light on the dock? having the same problem!
[HTC EVO 3D] laputa38:
Thanks, I was successful from hboot 1.49.0012
[HTC EVO 3D] Navrasis:
Thank Metronom76. I cant create theme in this forum.

This guide I wrote at night and could make a couple of mistakes, if something is not clear ask me, I'll try to answer
[HTC EVO 3D] -Ho-:
Works like charm...

Downgraded from 1.49.0012 to 1.49.0007 :D

S-OFF using Revolutionary :D
[HTC EVO 3D] liquidz17:
i have one question in here...

what's the mean by "plug your sd card" ? in the step 4...is it to make drive mode?
[HTC EVO 3D] vere850211:
Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] Metronom76:
Thanks for the feedback! Once again: thank Navrasis, this is entirely his creation ..!:)
[HTC EVO 3D] snerism:
@Metronom76: A million thanks for the tutorial, this is brilliant!
[HTC EVO 3D] liquidz17:
never mind..get it working..thanks!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
at the end do you have to htc unlock AND revolutionary ? cant you just use revolutionary...?

I also get a failed error when doing it....I think that is the reason the zip wont flash in bootloader

help ?

SO my problem is when doing fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 I get an error....not allowing me to end up flashing the zip
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Thanks. im on .11 Im going to try it now once the download hurries up so I can et going. Hopefully it works with 11. Thanks again:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Navrasis:
This is not error. Cid change succefully

Lock your bootloader. Hboot lags and dont want locked. Try and try lock.
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
okay got it working ! thanks !

but do I need to HTC & Revolutionary or just revolutionary ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Evengard:
This MUST be stickied!
[HTC EVO 3D] Navrasis:
Do htc unlock and Revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
Nope no luck for me either on hboot .11 :(:( sickened.
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
what does htc unlock do that revolutionary does not ? I thought revolutionary was htc + now more options to flash splash radio kernel etc...I just flashed a splash without doing htc unlock again and it went fine

also, can I htc unlock now again after revolutionary ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Navrasis:
Try again. This work on any hboot and main version. What error you have?
[HTC EVO 3D] seanybiker:
I noticed on the hex screenshot in the original post that the line he was editing was a bit different than mine so instead of just 22 to 20 I changed the rest of the number to match his exactly. It seems to be working properly this time. I got the option to update which I didnt get the last time.

Yeah its updating perfectly now.

What I meant was

In the screenshot the hex line was 1.22.720.1 that you change to 1.20.720.1

My phone didnt have 720.1 at the end of it, it had a different number so I had to change the whole line not just the 22.

Thanks a lot! This is the key to S-off on branded phones. Worked on my VF branded Evo!!

(I guess that's why you should know what you're doing and not just follow any tutorial)

Anyways everyone else out there with branding: Get a proper ruu for your device and downgrading should work immediately ;-)

still cannot figure this out

ok so have unlocked via htc dev method and have unlocked in my hboot. am i missing something out as when i get to adb process i get

C:\Users\joe>cd c:\adb

c:\adb>adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

also

C:\Users\joe>cd c:\adb

i get no su prompt so have set to allow automatically and still no further access, my usb debugging is on.

to clarify i have super user installed on my phone.

i know this may be complete noob chat but i seriously am lost as i rooted my dhd no bother but this seems to not work, htc evo 3d x515m

for anyone that can give any help thanks in advance for all help

either way this thread needs cleaned up and an faq for common problems like "my phones rooted yet its not working, why?
