Yeah, I hear you, mate!

I have to say I tried the Fourth Bar Sense ROM (with ICS skin), and though I don't see what the big deal is, I did see some nice features. I still customized the battery icon to a numerical one ... :p I'll admit I've never used a device with ICS, not that there's many of them, but hopefully the ROM itself is fast and slick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Sorry you're having trouble with your device. I've tried quite a bit and still can't replicate the black screen on call issue.

Hopefully X finds a solution for those having trouble soon ... Go X, Go ...:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
A couple of minor random bugs I've noticed. While swiping thru home screens, sometimes when one of them comes to rest, I can slightly see the other home screens in the back as if the carousel scrolling animation has not completed its full spin yet, and they literally just sit in the background. Hit power button on n off, and they disappear. Just weird. Happens randomly.

Also, sometimes while browsing the Internet, the app will automatically close down. It almost feels like I accidentally bumped Home soft key button, but when I go back into the Internet, it opens up home page instead of my recently viewed webpage. Also at random

Currently on BulletProof 220 w faux 008b8 kernel

Hey X, Is it safe to uninstall the dev tools app? or is that needed for the tweaks app?

Also, any way you can add a tweak to turn off the soft keys back light, just like the app screen filter does? :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
#From the terminal

# Turn On

chmod 0644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

# Turn Off

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

chmod 0444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

I'm a complete idiot here... any way this can be done as a flashable zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:

[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Could this be used to just dim them down instead of turning them off completely? Im assuming it should be something like: echo 50 or so > /sys...

So i did try it and this is what i got

sh-3.2# echo 50 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

sh: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness: Permission denied

sh-3.2#

Any ideas??
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
Couldn't delete it...

I'm using es file explorer app and went to that directory in root. I noticed that file had 255 in it when I opened it in a text editor. If I change that to 0, will that turn off the backlight? :confused:

This seems too easy of a solution to be true for me :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Yes that will turn them off. I just wish they can be dimmed
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Type "su" and enter before anything else
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Oh yea i already did that when i changed the value to 0 so they are off atm.

sh-3.2# su

sh-3.2# echo 25 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

sh: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness: Permission denied

Maybe it wount let me because the leds cant support values other than 0 and 255 (off and on)
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
Sweet, time to nandroid, and edit that file :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I've tried messing with these files, but the only conclusive thing I got was that if you change "currents" from the 22 that it's at to something lower than 20 it disables the backlights. Let us know if you find anything else!
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
I'm going to try the "brightness" first, if that doesn't work i will try changing the "currents" I never really understood why the back light is so bright in these buttons... :confused:

Call me crazy, but I know where the buttons are on screen, and they never change functions, so what's the need for the back light...:p

Edit: Reboot changes is back to 255... :( Is there a way to make this permanent?
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Well i cant figure it out and sice i have really basic understanding of this stuff im not messing with it may more :D ! Let me know if u find out how to dim them and sry for hijacking the thread.

[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
So far I've noticed that the battery icon never says a '100%'. That to me isn't an issue all my widgets disappearing at random was, but an easy fix. I haven't had to big of a problem with wifi, ofcourse I don't use it often. All in All I like this ROM. Thanks X keep up all the great work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] huyish:
ICS can't wait for release x ur the man
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
no.

0=OFF

1-255=ON, and no dim factor

if you are using faux kernel, use 255

WiFi runs fine for me as well but

not

WiFi hotspot. I think that is what X means. Try hotspot and see if it works.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
This rom has blown my mind, coming from senseless.. lets just say the results are amazing. Sure, I've been on wifi and haven't been using the phone THAT much.. but same usage on senseless and it would be dead already.

I'm not sure if it is using the faux007 kernel I had before, or if it flashed the included one.. but I'm not messing with the kernel when it has had such great results. Only change I plan to make is killing the soft key backlights.

Awesome rom, looking forward to ics. This doesn't need anything so bad to take away from development on that. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] joe_the_man:
Is it possible for me to change the volume settings for the rom? Such as, ringer and media? I've got terminal emulator, but I haven't got a clue on what the commands would be.
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
had a really weird thing happen yesterday. I went to bed with the phone at 98%, unplugged. About 3am, it started chiming the startup/shutdown noise over and over again. I grabbed the phone thinking it was the alarm, but the screen was off, unresponsive, and it required me to do a battery pull. After putting the battery back in, i was getting vibration on the softkeys but the screen still would not display anything. I plugged it in, waited a while and it finally booted back up. Weirdest thing ever...bug report?
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Yeppers, I had a little issue as well. I turned off my phone to charge overnight and it scared the scrap out of me when it booted up on its own. So the phone was off, or at least I thought it was, and it booted up like a ghost hit it. Perhaps it was the ghost of HD2 past or if our issues are ROM, Kern, or cwm or just plain app related. I did notice that my profile scheduler was not working correctly after restore. Ran fix permissions on ROM manager and seems to have stopped any force closes that I had.

Bulletproof 2.2.1 Faux 8 and 5.0.2.7.

I did a complete wipe and reflashed but haven't tried to charge while off again because I can't stand to have the phone off for that long.

keep up the good work x and don't let us take away from your school work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdmay20:
thats X's new super alarm to make sure you get up for school after developing all night :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Lol got a bootloop after leaving it charging for a few hours, weird because this has never happened, and I think its because of the fastboot option on settings, I disabled it to see what happens
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
happened to me too. also happened with the screen on, randon reboot and stuck there. had to do a battery pull. haha actually just happened a few minutes ago
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
all of you talking about random reboots, there is a custom kernel thread u might wanna check it out;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You people that are getting the random reboots:

Get access to a computer and pull the last_kmsg using adb. Do not attempt to pull the battery because you may lose the file.

To pull the last_kmsg file.

Open Command Prompt

cd desktop

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg last_kmsg.txt

You should now have ~700kb file sitting on the desktop of your computer.

Zip up your files and give them to Faux123 (since it's his kernel) for him to analyze.

After you've pulled the file simply type

adb reboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
I think he actually went back to stock kernel on latest update
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I tried pulling with the cmd i put in the adb tools (the cmd i normally use to do things through adb) and no luck, also tried through regular cmd.
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
Coolest avatar ever. LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Wow! My mistake. Sorry about that.

It's actually

cd desktop

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg last_kmsg.txt
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
it is adb pull
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
it worked this time lol but apparently i dont have the file (the reboot thing has happened around 2-3 times) so maybe pulling the battery deleted it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
yeha i dont have the file anymore either. must have deleted when i pulled the battery to get the damn thing to shut up haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Yeah haha, i would have done "adb reboot" but i was in bed and didnt feel like moving lol. Also im not sure if its TextFreeplus messing up or this rom but its being ridiculous with FC's. everytime i go the app and reply to someone and lock my phone and unlock it the app becomes un-responsive and force-closes then i have to force close it AGAIN in titanium backup for it to even work again lol

edit: i just noticed how awesome your user icon was.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
you do not have to pull battery off. just press power button, volume up+down buttons all three at the same time and this way phone will turn on again+u wont lose the kmsg file needed for the diagnosis
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I will try this next time it happens. since i hate taking the battery cover off lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Exactly. Most people don't know that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You're absolutely right. Sorry my heads not in the game because I've been frustrated and tired the last 48 hours. I need a break.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
ive been on XDA for years (other account) and ive never seen/heard of this method, not sure why not lol. ive always done adb reboot which is a hassel aha
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
A lot of HTC devices have a similiar method. It's just a matter of figuring out the combination.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Now it's my turn Binary...et al. I have had no problems so far with this ROM. No more black screens on incoming calls, no boot loops, no FCs. WiFi, WiFi teathering and WiFi calling working just fine. I noticed the stock kernel so no more overclocking unless I switch to Faux's kernel but do we really need to have a PHONE with 2 cores running faster than stock 1.5ghz?? Think of computers just a few years ago. These phones already scream. I do like Faux's button backlight dimmer but I don't miss it that much. If this ROM/kernel combination is stable for me, I ain't changin it for a while. It is just unbelievable how so many people have so many different problems and so many don't have any problems at all. Like Binary said, lots of different possibilities with all the different setups every person has. Poor X!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Yes binary is correct and also if it happens to reboot and don't want to move or have access to comp, download a terminal emulator. Get root by pressing "su" then on the next line type.

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt

Then with a file explorer go to the internal sd card and it will be there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Working on new update to try and figure out if its a kernel or rom problem hopefully we can get this sorted out new update gonna take a while rebuilding whole rom from ground up with major testing
[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:
FWIW, I've had no problems whatsoever with 2.2 and Faux's Kernel. In fact, the battery life has been so good I may never go back to anything but Bulletproof :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
You might want to talk to faux. I remember him talking about dimming the soft key lights. I also think he said that they can only be dimmed to a certain amount or they turn off. I think he got them as dim as they can go..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaxenroth:
Is the WiFi issue, speed related? My sgs2 connects at 48mps, while my wifes amaze is at 8. Flashed fauxes 008 and 007 kernel and both had same result. The rom overall is very nice, thx x. Also I was trying to delete WiFi data in root file explorer, but there is no WiFi file under data branch. Thx.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
That is true. Faux has got it as dim as he can without it turning off. It would be nice if there was a movie app that actually shut off the backlights while watching movies. HTC designers obviously didn't ever watch movies on the Amaze while designing it! LOL

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

X...what exactly is wrong with this ROM?? I have not had any crashes, boot loops or services that don't work. What is supposed to be broken?? Also, would it be safer to just leave the current kernel alone or would it be okay to use Faux's kernel? It's working fine for me the way it is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Yes its ok to use fauxs kernel if you prefer it. And the problem is alot of people are experiencing bootloops, crashes, etc., and so the goal is to determine if the problem is being caused by the rom or by the kernel...

With faux's kernel uv -100 or so, on conservative, Twitter evy 15min, 2 emails syncing every 20min, google plus, bunch of widgets, checking xda, WiFi on all day and Bluetooth on and conected the whole time, and talk time of about 50-60min.

Most of the time I'm just on 2g also....I'm guessing if I turned on 4G I would have gotten about 5 hours? I don't get how people are getting insane battery life. I would do anything for that lol.

I'm usually on Facebook, xda, and constant texting...about 50 - 75 texts in 7 hours. One email syncing but I have auto sync turned off. I honestly think its nothing major.

I would also like to add, my battery would hang on to 100% for almost two hours, after that, rapid draining happens from 99 - 80 in less than 20 minutes

[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
I get that all the time too; the last part you said about battery hanging at 100%.

Mine will hang at 100 or 99 for an hour or so, then drains very VERY rapidly once I start using it. Screen off is GREAT, but I can literally watch battery life drop almost one percent every other minute while screen is on and in use. Auto-sync is off, and brightness is almost always at 25%. Eight hour shift at work til the evening, my battery percentage will usually be in the teens.

Happens on both X and Faux's kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Yeah I feel you, after that 100% is gone I can see percent going down SUPER quick, is it kernal based? I don't get it. After my 9 hour shift I was in the teens =\ (turned my phone off for almost an hour while at work)
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Thanks AJ. I wonder why my phone is not doing that? One more thought...Faux said in his original OP not to use task managers or closers because that could cause FCs and possible bootloops. I wonder if the people experiencing these problems have those running. I have one running though with no problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:

[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Sorry. I figured that would happen but it might be easier in the end instead of getting bombarded with little problems. this way most of the bugs should be worked out before the release.

I believe that people were saying that they had a blank (or black) screen while receiving phone calls. I have not been able to produce this though so I'm not sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
yes it was working fine at the beginning then suddenly started causing that black screen while receiving calls. and it was gonne once replacing the file with an old one from v2.1
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ok ill look into it :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
When the screen was off during an incoming call, the phone would ring but the screen would not wake up. You could see a bit of backlight but that was it. Pressing the power button would turn the backlight (barely visible) off but also hang up the phone (usually). Pressing the power button again would turn the phone back on showing a missed call. This was random. Sometimes it would work fine. Other times, it would do it constantly, even with a reboot. Hope this helps!
