does video playback work? and or video camera

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

im refering to this one

[ICS 4.0.3] aospX 1.0.0-AR17 | IML74K | Source | WIP
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Video playback works, no video cam as all DHD ICS roms at the moment.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Yo syn whats youre average screen on time with your phone for your battery cycle?

I went from 8:25am to 5pm and my phone was dead in roughly 9 hours. I wanna say 2 hours and 30 mins screen on or close to 3. I know that is was past 2 hours of screen on time. I was using my phone pretty heavily I guess. Just makes me mad my phone can't last a full day for me :(.

So yea, i was wondering if it was only me. I've checked my processes and nothing is on there that shouldnt be. (settings, google services, dspmanager, exchange services, maps, wallpaper slideshow (live wallpaper set to 15 minute duration), and android keyboard).

I don't think its any apps running in the background heavily. All I have is for accounts and sync. My exchange for school doing email. Its on push. And then for google i have calendar, contacts and gmail.

I'm out of ideas. I want to blame my battery possibly not charging fully. I've had this phone ever since it came out. Could be possible the battery is a paperweight basically now right?

Let me know what you all think. thanks

edit: ive noticed that sometimes when I hold the home button to bring up the recent apps. Google maps is displayed and I never opened it. Could be the culprit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
I too am noticing the same thing. 75% battery and usage of 6h and 43minutes off charge and Map is #2 @ 15% usage. I used ES Task Manager to block it from loading on Startup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtalum:
Oddly enough, I was noticing that this ROM has better battery life on my phone than other ICS ROM's I've tried.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackburn29:
I am also noticing that RC9 seems to drain battery way faster than previous versions... Although I am not experiencing the Maps issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lacer4576:
I have to add in my two cents. Battery life on this ROM for me is wonderful. 10 hours of generous use (few games, mostly calls and email use for business) and still usually have 30% left when I go to bed. The only ROM that had better was an old version of Mosaic that I still have a backup of. Good work!

- sent from my Inspire!
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Will add an option to remove gmaps on install. Drains battery like mad, way worse than you realize.

I've been getting insane battery life with a few hours screen on time each cycle, however I calibrated my battery first flash. Download battery calibration from market and follow the directions. Highly recommended for new flashes, especially ICS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
Downloaded and installed. Going to give it a go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Ditto.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
I figure I should also mention I removed the overclock init.d script with the addition of the performance menu. This means that the minimum no longer defaults to 122mhz. If you haven't, please go to the performance menu to set the minimum to 122mhz. I'll include an option on installer from now on for just setting min to 122mhz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Read an article by a dev for android and they stated that calibrating the battery is actually bad for the battery. I can't find the article. Searched google lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
I don't understand how it could be. It's my understanding you're just deleting a file that collects statistics about battery use, so the os gives better battery statistics. You're also running it from a full charge to full discharge, which is the best for batteries so they get evenly used and don't heavily drop in one area (for instance someone who discharges 100-60%, then charges up again regularly).

But I will always entertain the possibility that I'm wrong.

[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
They're in the same zip. If you're on inspire, download the regular file, if you're on DHD, download the file for DHD. You have a choice at install time which rom you would like to install, as well as additional apps you might like to install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
Ok awesome thank you

Never mind dumb question

Send from HTC inspire 4G using xda app
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
It's all good. They're both essentially "gui" installed, just for different devices. the DHD download is for DHD phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
There's one for md5 and just the zip, which one should I use?

Send from HTC inspire 4G using xda app
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Just let it countdown from ten, then it will autodownload for you. You want the zip. If you're on inspire, the zip name you want is "BlackHoleSlushy-1.9-GUI.zip"

I'm getting random reboots, ours there anything I can do to make it stop and my boy animation gets really glitchy right before it goes to lock screen, and I was also wondering if the bottom bar with the home button is supposed flight up or not because mine isn't
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
is*
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Did you full-wipe? This is the first time I've gotten a report of a random reboot, and my phone has been on for over 24 hours. Without autobrightness on, the lights can sometimes stay off after lockscreen; just toggle autobrightness in pulldown.

Don't know what you are talking about with animation before lockscreen. I don't get any animations while going to lockscreen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
I did do a full wipe, so I should put it on auto brightness? I'm talking about the boot animation gets glitchy right before it goes to the lock screen
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
OK. Yeah. If you use the notification pull down, hit settings, then hit auto next to the slider, the keys will light up. As for random reboots, are you overclocking or undervolting? Did you use TiBu, or other restore software?
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
I have set CPU but I'm not over clocking or under
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Firstly, you can over clock in rom control in settings.

Could you give more info about your reboots? Or could you get a log of them? Otherwise I just recommend full wiping and trying again. This really is the first report I've received of random reboots.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
Ok I'll try something and let you know, I did reinstall set CPU threw tibu I'll just uninstall and reinstall
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
It's my understanding that restoring app data can cause reboots, but I don't personally use tibu, just adb.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
Oh ok yea, I just reinstalled it, I'm gonna reboot and see how the boot animation does
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
If the boot animation bugs you, I recommend disabling it in rom control in settings. You'll get a faster boot anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SeXyStEpH87:
It worked better now if I don't like it I'll keep that in mind thank you :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
Those of you looking for wayward apps causing battery drain, I recommend searching for BetterBatteryStats on xda.

Also, for random reboots, it may be worth trying to raise the min from 122 up to the next step in the 200 range. It can cause some issues in a small number of phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
230mhz is the default. And that is a good recommendation. Just checked it out myself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gregsarg:
Preparing to flash this now...

a few folks I know are reporting very favorably about the performance . I've been patiently waiting ,and now I'm gonna hang here for a bit .

Many thanks to the BHS team for your outstanding work ...g
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
I ran the battery calibration tool after 100% charge. Then I unplugged it around 11:40 PM last night and take a look at this battery life so far.

82%

7h 58m

Screen 42%

WiFi 21%

Cell Standby 16%

Phone idle 15%

Android OS 3%

(Can't upload screen shots at work)
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
If you did the steps for the battery calibration by charging to 100% turning off wifi, gps, background syncs, and leaving mobile data on and letting your phone sit for a few hours. It should run relatively good at 1% decrease per hour.

I don't know what steps you exactly did besides charging to 100% and unplugging your phone.

I uninstalled gmaps, and I changed my radio to see if that could be an issue with my battery life hoping that this radio is more reliable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
I charged to 100%, ran calibration, and left phone plugged in till 11:45ish. I already had Data and GPS turned off. Maps has been killed. I might remove it as I dont use it. But it is draining more than 1% per hour. Since posting, it is down to 79%.

I personally am terrified to flash a radio. Don't have money to buy a new phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Flashing a radio is actually an easy process. There is a sticked thread at the top of the Dev thread that can walk you through the process. Essentially you'll need some time to test which radio works best for your area, but in the end it will be worth it.

This rom currently runs with the RIL 2.2.0018G. Don't try and flash a RIL that is more current than what is displayed on the first page of the Inspire Radio Thread. Doing so will cause you to lose all signal because the RIL won't match up with the phone's framework or something like that.

Flashing a radio on the other hand can work on whichever ROM you are using. I've read that one of the latest radios 12.65.50.29 works very well for this ROM.I used this radio for quite sometime but in the area I'm at now, it seems to be having some trouble. So, I just flashed to 12.59.60.25 to see if this will improve battery life and signal for my area. Here is a link to the latest radios that will work for our phone. http://www.hc-hsia.com/

and here is the link to the radio thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324

I know off topic. Just trying to help a fellow xda'er out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
TY for the help. Which radio did you select on that list? I downloaded the 12.65.60.29 PD98IMG.zip file.

EDIT: I am also still having issue with the camera and Camera Zoom FX. They both take pictures and then it shows a previously taken pic with garbled lines through it. I dont know if this is still a known issue or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
I originally had the one you downloaded. But I switched to 12.59.60.25 radio. Too early to tell how much better it has been for me so far.

I downloaded angel camera and it works alot better than the stock app and camera zoom i think. It takes in landscape, portrait, with flash on, with flash off. Basically your standard picture taking needs it does. There are a few options in the app that will cause a FC but you dont need to use those features.

Hope that helped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Radios may work great for one person, but not very good for someone else. I'm running 26.14.04.28, and have had the best battery life with this radio over others I've tested, but I've heard from others that this radio badly drains battery for them. It's up to you what you want to stick with after testing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
@Synergye....I have test both of the ICS AOSP roms that are out there and I must say that I am very pleased with your rom. It is above par with the customizations and addons that you have put into it. However, there is one thing that LordChan does on his. He has this option built into the install of the rom to look for a folder on the SDCARD where you can place apks and scripts that you want installed during install. I installed the ApexLauncher in this manner on his rom. Is there any way you can incorporate that into your rom? If not, no biggie.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Done. Using the same folders also now. All credit goes to he and alienmind.

Edit: will be next version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Awsome. Good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Why can't I install Google+:
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackburn29:
My experience with RC9.

Everything was great until today. No changes since install, woke up this morning and had Extreme graphics corruption. SysUI is crashing every 10-15 minutes.(Crash and restart, no FC pop-up) Max I've gotten on battery from 100% to 0% is 6 hours. Uninstalled maps, etc as suggested in the thread with no luck. Logcat doesnt look pretty either... Also getting full UI crashes(basically doing a hotboot).

- Overclock settings are default.

- Direct update from RC7.1

*I'm very familiar with the Android system and coding in general. I can understand the technical talk :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
did you change the dpi ? if so this can be a problem with apps that don't support that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
When you are getting these corruptions, have you gotten a logcat? What launcher are you running? Did you modify any of the DPI settings? How about any CPU or UV settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Best thing to do would be to try and full wipe and flash again to see if problems still persist.

I'll agree with you that I've had a few random restarts almost like a hotboot. But i don't think that was rom related. My phone has always had problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
I changed it to 200 DPI. I will revert and try again.

EDIT: It was on 220, changed it to 240 and no difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
IDK then. Sorry, When you changed dpi did you restart the phone? May be a dumb question to ask but sometimes people don't do these things. Just trying to help ya.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
You will have to switch to 240 dpi, then clear market cache. You can go back to your favored dpi after downloading, but you'll have to clear market cache each time you go back to 240 to download another app or update apps. Hope that sorts it out for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackburn29:
All the time, doesnt matter if in an app/settings/phone call/etc.

When I get home I can post one.

I am running GO Launcher Ex.

No DPI settings have been touched.

Performance Settings:

- Max: 1536MHz (changed just a bit ago to this to see if it would help)

- Min: 230MHz

- Gov: SmartassV2 (changed just a but ago as well)

- Set at Boot checked(obvious)

- Can't even edit voltages, ROM Control will force close if I try...

- Free Memory: 100mb

Here's an example of how my settings look right now. Some times it will completely tile into little blocks, freeze up, then hotboot itself. (Note the missing chunks of text)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Set back to 240dpi, then rebooted, then cleared Market cache and it is working. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Those of you wondering about radios and rils. Stock ROM RIL and 12.56.60.25 radio is working great for battery life and signal. Though my phone keeps switching from 3g to H alot. But don't blame the radio. Its done that with every single radio. I don't understand why. Maybe part of the settling of the radio? Anyways... if you want to test this combo out I recommend it. Just today I flashed the radio and noticed an improvement. Can't wait for it settle and be happy for once with my phone.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Happens but very infrequent with my phone however. Usually a reboot fixes it. The voltages part in the ROM Control menu doesn't work on my phone either. Most likely its not a working feature yet, so just give Synergye some time to work out the kinks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Voltages is not made for our device. Made for user space configurable DVFS, not snq's vdd interface. But yes working on it. Been playing with different fs that have been recommended and decided ext2 for next release;xfs is too dependent on logs for a mobile device.

And those graphics bugs are bothersome and have appeared in every ics rom I've used, even on Inc 2, but I've been keeping an eye out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Synergye, I haven't noticed as much graphical issues on your rom as I have on the other ICS roms out there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
Hey, just wanted to poke in and see if anything new is going on? It seems now that things are so solid that people quit chatting about this ROM, hate to see it fall to the wayside. :)

I hear that Inspire 4G is officially going to get ICS, so I am hoping some REAL binaries will start hitting the airwaves soon to solve some of the issues from that point (Camera/Camcorder :D ).

Keep it up man! This is still the best ICS out there! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackburn29:
Besides the random crashes, everything seems to be working fine again. Must have been a solar flare or something because pretty much every electronic device I own was giving me issues(including corruption of the Linux position on my laptop). But I can't complain, it's a release candidate that's still pretty much in alpha stage, and it runs fairly well for a ROM that wasn't even meant for our phone.

Keep up the good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
The only app that is giving me random crashes is Titanium Backup Pro, but, there have been so many updates of that app in the last month that I am not chalking it up to ROM for that one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
I'm still avidly working on this, and hoping to release today. Accidentally broke frameworks with some changes I'm reverting, but I think camera and camcorder may be fixed. Once I build today, I'll know for sure.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Awesome work. Can you add a Data toggle option as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Should be working now in the new build that is in progress. Power manager is now also working, so new build has multiple network toggle options. Forgot to mention that new builds are ext2 default, with an ext4 option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
Will it detect? My file system is EXT4.

If this is something we have to manually look for to toggle, might want to update install instructions. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
It formats system/cache as ext2 for performance by default. Ext4 is an option in installer I don't recommend due to degredated performance. That's how it's setup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jjmk4096:
This is my first post in this thread. Just wanted to say I can't wait for the new build. Love the current one but have come across one issue. When I am in my car I use the usb port on my stereo to charge my phone. If my battery is below about 75% the phone tries to pull so much current that i trips the protection circuit on my stereo. Now this is not unique to BHS. I have also had this issue with coredroid. I have not, however, had this issue with RCMix. I was wondering if there is something that can be changed to stop this from happening.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Sounds like it's kernel related, and it could be due to USB fast charge. I'll edit this with a way to disable it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jjmk4096:
That would be awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.

Edit: Wish other devs were as attentive to their users as you are. Bravo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
No doubt. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
I was PM'd by a few people about my comment that it was official that Inspire 4G getting ICS.

Here is my source:

Source

This link came from a Facebook post from the Official HTC page.

Now, if they follow through, is another thing. If the DHD gets it, I am sure the Inspire will get it as they are pretty much the same phone.

Now, Sense 4.0 does look interesting!
[HTC Inspire 4G] DownTheCross:
Just flashed the latest release earlier today.

It's running nice and smooth, absolutely no errors or FC's, no lockups or any issues for anything.

But I do have a question about the lockscreen styles, what happened to the different styles, like the eclair one and gingerbread one? I just have the options to have the regular ICS one, the regular ICS one with 4 shortcuts, or the regular ICS one with 8 shortcuts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toddtomorrow:
I skimmed the last few pages and didn't see anything about this.

I wouldn't recommend using the Chrome Beta with this ROM. It locks up and reboots the phone. I read the same thing in a thread for an HD2 ICS ROM. They said it had to do with hardware acceleration.

No complaints about this ROM though. Still running super smooth.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
I use chrome beta and havent had this issue. Have you tried clearing the data and cache for the app?

First i've heard for this issue. thats why im asking.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtalum:
I also haven't had this problem with Chrome Beta. Make sure it's not a UV script that's locking and rebooting your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
New build is up :). Check out the weather text!

I haven't had issues either, but got it from the Market.

I removed them while removing evervolv stuff, but can easily add them back in as options in addition. Just didn't think they were at all wanted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dincdoes.me:
Will test new version tomorrow thanks for your work and dedication to us!
[HTC Inspire 4G] toddtomorrow:
I don't have any UV scripts. I was able to use Chrome just fine until last night. Then it did the same thing today. I'll try re-installing it tonight.

I love Chrome, so I was really bummed when it stopped working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aaron78:
Just flashed this from a full-wipe and received 1 FC in the setup when it was asking for my date, time, and time zone info. It restarted the setup wizard and continued with the setup. Under ROM Control, then Toggles, there is no Data toggle option to enable.

EDIT: I dont know if this is related or not, but I went back into 4EXT recovery and it loaded in Safe Mode. Is this because you went to Ext2 fs?

EDIT2: It is related. I restored to a another ROM and it is fine now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Will test this build out today. Thanks for the update. BTW the mirror is very slow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
It should still work in safe mode. I'm uploading to another site since goo is apparently slow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
Normally Goo is not slow. :( I was able to get it pretty fast this morning.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Apparently outside of the states it can be very slow from what I've heard. Auto brightness is broken, but I'll be releasing a small flash able fix later today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zb126:
Well this is going to sound dumb, I'm sure... but here goes.

Anyone else have an issue with the calendar app no longer showing up?
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
The app disappears? Could you give me a bit more info?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zb126:
I was also very confused-- I was on RC9 and did a factory reset, formatted system and then did a fresh install. The calendar app is no where to be found. Does not appear to be installed at all...

Bizzare, eh?
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
upload seems be going a little bit faster now sorry for the inconvenience.

Its going at about 240 kb/s. I just downloaded something and the dl speed was at 2500 kb/s so i dont think its my connection.

I just wanted to let you know that it was going slow. It said the estimated time would be 4 hours. but now it says 23 mins.

EDIT: I have a question about installing this rom over the last RC9 with the gui installation. Do i need to reinstall the apps from the gui interface like facebook, etc?
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
No need to reselect. The data partition isn't wiped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
ok good, thats what i figured and thats what i did.

Its up and running. i also installed the working swype beta for ics. I like it alot now. works much better than when i use to have swype.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DownTheCross:
I'm downloading the newest release now, I love your builds man, they're so stable and I haven't had any hiccups the past few releases.

And it's fine, I just personally prefer the longer slide, it's a little awkward for me to slide from the middle of the screen so I always used the eclair lockscreen.
