Couldn't agree more with your post.

I'm running into battery issues again where the phone seems to drop % exponentially faster once it drops under 50%. Is that normal? In the upper 50%, the battery life is excellent usually. I had done a little bit of screen time(cam/browsing/gaming) but does the battery drop like that on all Amaze's/ROMs even after exiting out of all those aforementioned processes? I'm just wondering if I need to do something additionally to improve the battery life.

One thing...

You should REMOVE 'VoiceSearch.apk' from the ROM. It's depricated by Google NOW/Velvet.apk.

It duplicates and interferes with the Google NOW functionality. When removed, Google Now! puts it's own (better) voice-search/voice-command interface in place (Delete 'VoiceSearch.apk' and you get a new 'Voice Search' app with a blue icon, that launches the white/red GoogleNow voice-search/dial/command interface)....

After update my Ruby To this rom every things work good. But i have no voice and sound.

Means my mic earphone and buzzer dont work

I have no sound att all

I would try a different ROM to see if the problem persists. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] InfinitiGuy:
I installed 8.0 a few days ago and I like the clean look and feel. My battery time is also much better compared to stock. One problem I have is that the phone doesn't check for any new email sent to my Gmail account. I have to open the Gmail app and manually hit refresh to see my latest mail. I looked in the account settings and it's sync is enabled for that account. Any suggestions?
[HTC Amaze 4G] iKilla:
Try reinstalling the app see if that works
[HTC Amaze 4G] InfinitiGuy:
I uninstalled Gmail, actually it only let me uninstall the updates, re-installed it but still no email is pulled down unless I manually sync.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nyuhsuk:
I don't have my phone on me but I think there may be a setting somewhere within the app for the sync frequency no? I know my wife's Sensation's Gmail app tended to revert back to manual sync for some reason every once in a blue moon...
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Sync settings are under Accounts, in the system settings...

Convert it to a user app with titanium backup. Then you can do a full uninstall--not just the updates. Then reinstall from Play store.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Johnny Two Tone:
This exact thing happened to me. You have to install your company's (eg. Telus, T-Mobile, etc) RUU and start the unlocking, rooting, ROMing process again. The sound disappearing is just bad luck with a bad installation.

I tried that but it still didn't change the situation. I ended up wiping the device and re-applying this Rom and now it's working as it should.

Have most of the battery issues been with the Faux kernel? I've had battery issues since v22. Tried all the different ideas to remedy it. I'm hoping if it is kernel related, going back to stock kernel will help fix it.

'Clear Data' is actually the important one, moreso than the APK...

Uninstalling the APK doesn't remove the settings per-se, but clear-data does.

[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:

[HTC Amaze 4G] metro44060:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Johnny Two Tone:
Haha, you sassy guy.

Does it do anything to reinstall a ROM without wiping everything? The data not working may just be a simple glitch that a reinstall would fix but i REALLY don't want to go through a whole 'thing'.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Check your APNs. If that isn't it, you could backup everything with TB, wipe, and flash it again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Johnny Two Tone:
Thanks for the tip; turns out the APN setting fields were all "not set". I don't know WHY they aren't set, but at least now I can set them and be done with it... if I can find the appropriate settings, that is.

EDIT: Wait a minute. I bet the APN settings were blanked because I just recently SuperCID'd the phone. If I put in the APN settings for my carrier (Telus) that I find on the net is there a chance that it'll lock into, so to speak, an improper, let's say 'zone', and have me end up getting charged for roaming, or something?

EDIT II: Never mind. I got the proper setting from the Canadian Telus site and all is well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] InfinitiGuy:
Is there a way to replace the phone answer screen with the stock HTC Amaze one? I usually keep the phone in my pocket and I've found I hit the answer or hangup buttons as I try to take it out. By having a swipe to answer method, it eliminates that from happening.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
Rocket dial it work good I used it and they just updated it to work flawlessly and u can customize the answer screen to ics swipe method
[HTC Amaze 4G] diveoz:
You can revert to the stock dialer by unpacking Energy ROM or a stock rom and extracting out the following files located in /System/App.

Phone.apk

Phonesky.apk

HtcDialer.apk

Put them into a folder in your sd card, then copy and paste them to /System/App in your phone using root explorer. Finish by right-clicking each and change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (left three and top middle checked... the rest unchecked).

It's really quite easy! I'm not fond of the AOSP camera, mms, contacts, dialer and calander apps, so I mod ROMs to repack the stock files for these functions before flashing. Then when I flash it I have the clean buttery smoothness of Speed Rom with the refined HTC base apps that I prefer.

As an added bonus, since my wife has an Amaze on a stock(ish) ROM, she can use my phone without complaining!!! LOL :silly:
[HTC Amaze 4G] InfinitiGuy:
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually like the dialer that is included in this rom since it looks like stock ICS but just wanted to change the answer method. Is there a specific apk file from these that I would use make the answer screen look like stock ICS or stock Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
The 'answer screen' is built into Phone.apk, along with dialpad, etc.

Eclipze had the 'stock Android' one in the 7.6 beta - but it was rather buggy when set up that way....

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Drag the gallery to 'App Info' and pick Clear Data.

This fixes most force-closes that happen after a SR update, btw....

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

The data-not-working thing may actually be caused by EXACTLY what Mr Squirrel said.

I generally do NOT do wipes when changing SR versions, but I have had Data 'turn itself off' after an upgrade.

Pulling status down and toggling it back-and-forth made data work again...

I don't know how many people will read this or even care but to all those people that donated and got your money back I still am very grateful to see that you care about the work I put into my roms. I have slowed down because of personal issues and such but I am still alive and thinking of ways to improve our amazing device untill I have to sadly leave.

If you want to donate please send me a pm on xda or mention me on twitter @xvth for details on how to buy me a gift (x-mas present?:D?) but in no way shape or form do you have to donate, a simple thank you is all I need.

I know the mods don't really like people posting things like "I love your rom" they prefer people to post any problems or suggestions but I love hearing positive feedback on this rom.

I actually met 2 people running my rom that I have never met before. I was so happy I wanted to cry.

Thank you and ill try my best to bring something amazing

If you could find a way to get the AOSP power-off screen, and get rid of HTC's obnoxious battery nag-screen (where once it goes below 14% it bugs you every minute to plug the phone in) that would be... Amazing...

Phone takes a long time to charge

First, let me say, I've been using one version of this ROM or another for the past 6 months and it is great. It is my daily driver. I've tried a couple others, but not all of them, because frankly I didn't even try ones that state in the OP that they are missing features I need (i. GPS, data, signal bars, etc...)

I didn't think the ROM could get any smoother until I tried 8.0. It is great. Really fast and responsive. I've had a strange anomaly where my contacts won't show up for awhile, but these are few and far between and are far outweighed by the benefits.

Now, for my question. Something odd I've noticed on 8.0, and I'm trying to figure out if it is just me. The phone takes a really long time to charge. I'll be at 10% at night, leave it in all night (8 hours or so), and when I get up, it'll be at 85-90%. The phone used to charge fully from 10% in about 3 hours maybe.

That being said, the battery life has actually been good, and much better than on 7.8, so the 85-90% is lasting me longer than the 100% with the previous version. Is this somehow by design or is my phone just acting strange? Anyone else experience this? I plan to wipe the battery stats, but frankly I can't get the thing up to 100% before having to use it again;).
[HTC Amaze 4G] dr.mitesh1987:
just uninstall from market and update google play music from market it self and will fix that

Can anyone direct me to how I could implement the HTC sense widget where it shows the flipping time and awesome animated weather? I would like to install that onto this rom... Any help? Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
Well technically SpeedROM still runs on Sense so all you have to do is download a regular Sense based ROM (I dont think any using Sense 4.0 would work though) and grab the HtcClockWidget.apk and it should work. Do note that I havent tried this with the Sense clock so you might need to install other apk's from Sense to get it completely working like Weather.apk or WeatherWidget.apk.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GRIDSpawn:

There are also various third-party widgets that have a similar look. As far as I know, Fancy Widgets had the closest resemblance and style to the HTC clock and weather widgets, but it was taken off the Android Market after HTC got word of it. Personally, I use HD Widgets, but if you want the animations and whatnot, then I'd say try Beautiful Widgets, which if I remember correctly, has screen-on effects like rain and cloud visuals and wind/thunder audio effects, as well as various animated clock styles.

That actually looks pretty cool. You're right, it does match SR's JB look and style.

Is this a theme of the Amaze Sense MMS app, or something else?

The key is, for those of us on WiFi we kind of need something based on the Amaze's original MMS (or the original MMS app itself) because it's the only thing that can MMS over WiFi calling.

Restart...

So I'm having a small issue with my phone at the moment.. it's not a big deal but, when I restart my phone, it restarts then gets to the X splash screen, then it restarts again, to the HTC splash screen, then it restarts again, but it actually boots up. So, it usually takes 3 tries for it to get it to fully boot after I do a restart... Now I experienced this with NRG's rom so I switched over, but it's happening with the Speedrom as well.. is this a known issue for rooted Amazes? Again, it's not a big deal, but it just bugs me that it has to restart 3 times to get to my homescreen.... Also, does draining my battery till it completely shuts off on it's own a bad thing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Sounds like a faulty battery to me. And just out of curiosity, what kernel do you use?

You can't miss the bear.
[HTC Amaze 4G] runkpock3r:
I'm kind if hoping its not a faulty battery because i just bought this banker too... I'm using faux kernal.. I read somewhere on the forums that you shouldnt drain your battery all the way because it can cause issues? Can someone clarify this? Or does it matter with my restart issue/situation?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Actually, I believe that is false. It is better to wait on charging the battery until it's down to 10% or even dead, for best efficiency. If your battery is brand new, it takes a few cycles to fully calibrate, meaning at least once, you should allow the battery to die, then recharge it to full. It may take several times, in fact. Mine didn't show much of an improvement until after a dozen charges or so. It's very gradual but you will see a difference.

When you flash a new ROM (or at least a new Android version, eg, 4.0.3. to 4.0.4 or 4.1 to 4.2.1, etc) the process is to back up apps and data, full wipe (factory, data, dalvik, and cache), then flash the new ROM, let it boot into Android, and run its initial one-time setup (you don't need to sign in to Google just yet), then reboot into recovery and flash Gapps and your custom kernel if desired (I think you don't need to reboot between them, just reboot recovery? Someone correct me if I'm wrong here). Then boot and sign into Google, etc. At this point, you can either use an app to calibrate it (I used this one, which just tells you to charge it to max, then tap the "Calibrate!" button when it's full. Or you can just charge to full and wipe the battery stats via recovery, your choice. But calibrating it ensures that Android is actually reporting the correct battery usage and life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
If you drain your battery all the way, it's not a bad thing...

But the phone can be tempermental about re-charging properly, leading to the rebooting behavior you are talking about (it's caused by not having enough charge to get fully into android and stay there)...

I've had the same problem... The key is to let it charge for a while, UN PLUG the charger, and then turn the phone on...

You can plug the charger back in only once it is at the X-screen... As soon as the X-screen goes away, tap the power button (to blank the screen, and prevent even the slightest momentary 'your phone is drawing more power than the charger can supply' error) and let it charge for a few mins before doing anything...

It has to do with how the phone handles charging when it is on but not booted (eg, it doesn't charge), the default behavior for a failed boot due to power (try again after a delay that is not long enough to charge enough to boot), and how much battery the phone has when you turn it on.... Makes a nice battery-driven boot-loop, because the lack of power causes the reboot, which puts the phone back to the HTC screen, where it doesn't charge, and so on...

Can't run wifi and bluetooth at the same time?

Tried searching the thread but didn't find anything. Has anyone else noticed not being able to use wifi and blutooth?

Here's what happens - Turn both on and everything works fine for about 10 - 20 minutes. After that, wifi drops out (but bluetooth still works) and will not come back until you turn off bluetooth and turn wifi off and back on.

Is it just me? I'm pretty sure it did the same thing to me on 4th bar too. Not sure if it matters, but I flashed the R2 version of the stock ICS RUU instead of the OTA version before flashing Speedrom or 4th bar.

Run QCustomShortcut and fill in the following fields (you must have the 7.8 WiFi Calling zip flashed first - it is the same for all speed-roms, Eclipze doesn't need to make a new version):

Shortcut Name: WiFi Calling Settings

Donation

Hi Eclipze,

I realize I'm late coming to this but it took me awhile to actually decide to root my Amaze and I first tried NRG's Energy ROM and loved it. I installed yours about a month ago and am loving it too. I'm still amazed hwo much better my phone does without all the stock crap on it taking up memory and resources. I"ll probably use it for awhile (i'm on 7.9-8.0) and then try the new CM10 release. In the mean time, I just want you to know I'll be donating soon (money is tight but it will be coming) and even though this may not be your top project, it's worth it to help you with whatever project you're on. You did a lot to keep alive a phone that HTC and T-Mobile had left for dead. It's a great phone and my first real smartphone, and I'm glad to have found these forums and learned how to make my phone the best it can be.

You Rock Eclipze! And all here who have contributed.
