Hi there,

I've been using revolutionaryHD 2.1.2 for a while now and last week I realized my battery life was not what it used to be. So I decided do do a full clean reinstall (format+wipe everything + battery calibration) hoping it would solve the problem.

However, the clean install did not solve my problem. I have now installed cyanogenmod nightly, believing it was revolutionaryHD that was causing my problems and ran some test with currentwidget.

Screen on, everything else off = -126ma 4.11v

Everything off = -38mA 4.11v

I've read a post stating that battery drain should be between 1 and 10mA if you enable wifi, I didn't even enable it :(.

I have NO idea what is causing these high numbers, so I would love it if you could shine some light on the subject.

Best Regards

Yannick Wellens
[HTC Incredible S] richie2000:
Hi Yannick,

I think 38 mA is a good value. The battery of the Incredible S should have 1450 mAh. At a current of 38 mA, it should last for about 38 hours.

Greetings, Richie

Best settings ever:

CyanogenMod nightlies 146

[HTC Incredible S] yannickwellens:
Yeah, I checked with a mate's desire S and he also has there values on a stock rom. I'm wondering though if the facebook app is a battery killer, any comments on that?
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Definitely. More so if you have a widget.. In fact any widget that gathers info from the web will keep you from entering deep sleep. Grab cpu spy from the market to see how often your device enters deep sleep.

Can highly recommend the Quattro ics 4.0.3 from the developer section. battery life is damn good on the latest beta7.

[HTC Rezound] biond:
Hey guys,

Was having too many issues with GNex so I traded in for a rezound but hate all the bloat on it. Decided I'd finally stick my neck out there and try my noob hand at rooting and customizing it.

So, got my rezound unlocked and rooted and before i try anything, how do I ensure I don't brick the phone?

Searched around for a real dumbed down guide to backup and recovery but I'm at a kindergarten level with this stuff. For example, it took me about 4 hours to figure out how to unlock and root the phone and HTC gives you directions on unlocking.

Have titanium backup, and rom manager. I read there's 2 ways to create a recovery file - cwm and amon-ra, read about nandroid backup but don't know what these things mean or how they function.

Can anyone give me a quick tutorial in backing up the phone in case I eff it up?

Any help would be much appreciated, I apologize if this is too basic a question.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
No apologies! You have to start somewhere so it's all good. I would start with these two very helpful threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1418653

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1418659

I would recommend using the Amon_Ra recovery from THIS post.

Since you are coming from a Gnex...is it safe to assume you know how to flash a custom recovery with the boot.img?
[HTC Rezound] biond:
It's not safe to say I know how to do anything yet haha. I liked the non cluttered feel of the gnex so I didn't mess with it and I never did anything with my og Droid. Never flashed anything so I'm about as noob as they come. I unlocked and rooted this phone and that's my experience to this point. Again all help is good
[HTC Rezound] biond:
Thanks for the links btw. Slowly figuring this stuff out. Got amon ra recovery now... What does that do exactly? Just trying to ensure I can get back to where.I am in case I mess up my phone. Should I do a nandroid backup? Not sure what that means either but I see some threads about how to do it.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
A nandroid is an image of your phone in its current state. So yes, you should do a nandroid back up now before you flash a ROM so if something goes wrong you can restore it back to how it is now.

Then if you're going to flash a kernel after you flash a ROM you should probably make one before flashing the kernel as well in case something goes wrong.

Then when you have the phone the way you like it with a custom ROM/kernel you can make a nandroid at that point as well so you have that handy in case of anything going wrong somewhere down the line or if you just want to get back to that setup after trying out a different ROM. Then you just restore that instead of having to flash the other ROM/kernel again. If you want you can make nandroids of all your custom ROM configurations so you can switch them whenever you want. Of course you should keep an eye out in the threads of the ROMs in case of updates, and sometimes you need to wipe and flash the new version if there is an update.

Here's a few links with some good info:

[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
If you've never flashed anything before and are planning on customizing this thing; welcome to the family of rezound.
[HTC Rezound] ardreissig:
welcome! The ReZound in my opinion is a great phone.
[HTC Rezound] biond:
Alright, got myself some good information from you all. Nandroid backup done and saved on my PC so now I'm good to ROM? Eager to rid myself of the enormous amount of bloat the rezound comes with.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
One more thing to add for you to know about your original backup, or subsequent ones- that wasn't brought up here.. (smarter folks shoot this down if I'm wrong).. Someone stated above that once you have your nandroid you're always ready to go back to that original backup with a simple flash. This is not the case if he's gone to another rom that uses a different kernel right? It seems some devs have found ways to work the kernel install into the rom install/flash, and others haven't.. Until there's a standard- there's never a guarantee that restoring that original nandroid will bring you back to your original kernel correct? You may have to d/l and install the boot.img after the restore.
[HTC Rezound] biond:
That's part of my issue now. I keep ready about flashing roms and kernels but they all assume some level of proficiency when it's something I've never tried. I'm thinking of starting with clean Rom 1.5 but I want to keep some apps like nfl. I just can't find the bare bones explanation of what to do with the file and how to get my data back after i flash that Rom (a process I am foreign to). I download the zip to my PC.... Then what?
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
You may also want to get the stock rooted kernel, and keep it with the nandroid. If, and when you want to restore, place your nandroid, and kernel on your sd card. Boot into Amon ra, and restore, then flash the kernel in fastboot. Not the best description, but I hope that helps....
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
I'm running ineffabalis with their stock rooted kernel right now mainly because I want to wait until the kernel update process is a little more streamlined and the kernels themselves are a little more ironed out. That said, the complete newb sticky guide over in the dev section has a process that seems easy enough.. Basically involves a simple fastboot command from dos. It's written for ziggys but should translate to other kernels as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abhinav333:
Does flashing new roms and kernels solve Image compression problem in xperia neo!

I dont really understand whether image compression is a feature or a technical fault by SE .

I was tempted to this because of 8MP cam but now its not even good as 2 MP
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Mikk36:
The image quality (or lack of it) is set by the driver. Since the driver has a maximum quality limitation, you can't do anything about it unless you manage to write a new driver for it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abhinav333:
ok thanks for the info! :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adridu59:
There is so many people who told SE to fix this as ICS Alpha Feedback... let's hope they will fix this.

Alright, people keep calling MIUI a iPhone clone, but I beg to differ. However, when I had my iPod touch, I jailbroke and used this theme. I was wondering if someone could make an .mtz for it, since I've missed it for a while. It was the theme I kept going back to when I changed themes on that thing lol. Its called UINique. If someone could make this, I'd love you forever.

Also, here's a video showcasing it

I'd consider doing the icons, (I cant do the rest)

But where can we source the files?

plus permission from the original creator would be useful.
[Android Themes] HypostaticOnion:
I'll see if I can get permission. I can't promise anything obviously, and I really didn't even think of asking first lol. I can see about getting the theme itself for using the images, and the rest will be up to whoever wants to tackle the thing lol.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] samawil:
I'm having the same issue and it's really starting to bug me.

From the little I've been able to gather, we can't get 3g or 4g because of hardware issues, is that correct?
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
Alright...

This is stupid.

Report if you have the same thing... It doesn have a massive pink dot like old HD7, but it has like a ring of pink (noticable) when you take a picture.

Have never seen this before.
[HTC Titan] mmian:
yes! i have this issue, do you think htc would replace the phone for us?
[HTC Titan] Blacklac:
I noticed this immediately, when I got my phone. I made a thread on WPCentral about it but no one replied. Lol. I tried the same picture on my Blackberry Playbook and I was shocked to see it had this too, but to a much lesser degree. I mostly notice it from incandescent lighting.
[HTC Titan] tai4de2:
Yup, have been noticing it recently. I didn't notice it at first though... what changed?

Or maybe it's just in certain kinds of conditions, when the auto-adjust kicks in?
[HTC Titan] crmb:
i would say it comes from cheap hardware. But the fact the shift is perfectly in the center is weird (lense problem ?)

Not sure it can be easily really fixed by update

I got the SMS working. From what I've read, I'm probably not able to post links here yet. I found a thread on another forum about having to PDU encode the phone number. Is still told me "Update Error" after that, but SMS started working which was the desired end result.

[Android Software Development] locomain:
hi!

i modded the Stock android 4.0.3 launcher

so its the original one with some extras

i modded it for personal use

but a friend asked me to share it so here it is

enjoy

- transparent drawer

- options menu

enable/disable searchbar

resize any widget

show page indicator

fade indicator

auto-rotate screen

DOWNLOADS

APK

http://www.multiupload.com/I4UEWI5VGZ

Flashable zip

http://www.multiupload.com/5TGQNINB6R

INSTALL/problems

the launcher ONLY works on ICS (4.0.3)

you can download it and install it(but widgets dont work)

if you push it to system all works!

you can do so with the CWM flashable package

or you can download the APK and and copy paste it there(/system/app/) with a root file explorer (root explorer, es file explorer )

and adb is possible but for the ones that know adb this should not be any problem

if u run a STOCK ROM(cm9 not included)

and cant get it installed

i think its because the package name is the same as the original Ics Launcher2 (com.android.launcher)

so if u delete the original one from system/app and place the modded one there it should work!

No screenshots but a video so u can see all works (sorry for the bad quallity)

[Android Software Development] Frunobulax:
The transparent drawer is a nice addition.

Unfortunately, wallpaper scrolling does not work.

Keep going!
[Android Software Development] locomain:
strange it should work.. isnt it your wallpaper?

or try reinstall

thnx!
[Android Software Development] Frunobulax:
Nope.

Nova Launcher (based on 4.0.3) and ADW(2.x) both work fine. Your launcher and Trebuchet keep this bug. for example. Are you branching Trebuchet? If so, you might have inherited the bug.
[Android Software Development] locomain:
so strange :P no problems here but ill look at it!

wich device are you using ?
[Android Software Development] Frunobulax:
I've got a Motorola Defy.

[Android Software Development] Ma$etas:
i downloaded the apk and it said ... theres a problem parsing the package then i tried pushing it to sys app but did not work either about to try the flash zip hope it works. buy anyone know whats wrong . i have sgs2 epic touch on maddoggins rom

downloaded the zip file and flashed through cwm and it said it installed but nothing.
[Android Software Development] locomain:
Isnt maddoggins a gingerbread rom? De launcher is for ics only:)

---------

Also, any chance of screenshots?
[Android Software Development] QuBe2:
This is spam!!!! It needs the permission to call people don"t download it...
[Android Software Development] locomain:
why the F is this spam?? if it doenst work for u

its because your phone uses stock ics

and the package name of the modded launcher is the same as the stock one!

ps nederland de gekste ;)
[Android Software Development] locomain:
i think its because of the stock launcher..

this is actually the same(package name)

yes no problem ill post screenshots later

maybe u should download a third party launcher from the market..

delete the original Launcher2.apk and then place the apk in system with root explorer or try the flashable package again
[Android Software Development] locomain:
added a video:)
[Android Software Development] ledoweb:
Great work man! It looks great, it's exactly was I was looking for. One more thing last, BTW: you should make desktop icons disappear when opening the launcher. I mean... when you open the drawer, on the background you can still see the homescreens icons besides the wallpaper. It would be definitely amazing if only the wallpaper was showing as the drawer background... but I guess it won't be any difficoult for you!

Anyway, congratulations and thanks for your efforts! Can't wait for further optimizations ;D
[Android Software Development] locomain:
thnx!

i will take a look at it!

Ok, cool...

Im running on Android Revolution HD 2.1.2, I already have some little mods that I did myself to my launcher2.apk.... so im gonna do a backup and try what you said, if it works, im gonna spend the rest of the night re-adding my little mods to your new .apk

Also, thanks for the video :)
[Android Software Development] hxdrummerxc:
Still doesn't work....

Even after deleting my Launcher2.apk....

Pushing the singnedlocolauncher.apk to system/app does nothing.... and flashing does nothing.....

It doesn't even recognize another launcher, it only sees nova launcher since I deleted the Launcher2.apk

Can I re-name yours to Launcher2.apk?

EDIT: renaming also didn't work
[Android Software Development] mert2go:
Thank u! It's working perfect :D
[Android Software Development] locomain:
what kind of mods did you add to the launcher2.apk maybe i can add them 2 in mine
[Android Software Development] soulicro:
@OP - Why are aren't you crediting Trebuchet, and why are you avoiding all the questions here that asked if it was based on it? You took Trebuchet and slightly modded it. See this thread, specifically this post.
[Android Software Development] locomain:
i have both sources but if you read the post i said i couldnt compile the trebuchet one so its based on com.android.launcher (look at the package name)

launcher2 ;)
