Improving battery life using llama

The ICS roms and especially KC are really kind to the battery. I have found that, here at least, leaving data enabled eats battery quite slowly and WIFI is even better - your mileage may vary.

I managed to make things even better using an app called llama. I use llama to enable/disable WIFI and to control autosync. I also set all data sources to sync on multiples of an hour.

It takes just four events and one area.

Train llama to recognize areas where wifi is available, here I've called the area 'wifi_enabled_location', you can define several areas if you want.

Then setup the following events:

far

when "not in area" wifi_enabled_location - disable wifi

near

when "enter area" wifi_enabled_location - delay for 5 minutes and then enable wifi

sync forced

between 6:57 and 7:00 - enable account sync then request update, queue an event named 'off' delaying 3 minutes disabling account sync

sync normal

(repeating every 62 mins) between 8:00 and 23:00 - enable account sync, queue an event named 'off' delaying 2 minutes disabling account sync

What this does is automatically turn on wifi when you are at a place that is apt to have wifi (llama by default uses cell towers). The first sync of the day requests that all apps update so everything will wake up at the same time for the subsequent syncs which are set to happen at intervals of just over an hour. Remember to set anything that syncs to use multiples of an hour. The idea is to have all apps wake up at the same time allowing the phone to stay in deep sleep longer.

I've also tried things like using llama to simulate juicedefender but the above events are simpler (my JD simulation needs 17 events) and seem to work as well on ICS.

Camera Quality

Hi Turge,

First of all THANKS a lot for this great v1 !!!

Is anyone noticed a camera quality issue ?

I have 2d/3d working perfectly but it seems that the contrast is not good at all.

For eg. when I shot an outside picture with the sky (grey/blue) and ground, if the focus is made on sky then impossible to distinguish the ground and other way true also.

Anyone have an advice ?

Thanks

PLUS: I encouter mobile signal dropping, even with the patch applied

does anyone know if Anryl's kernel 10.08 works with ICS roms specifically this rom? i used it before with GB rom and it was awesome, had amazing battery life. would love to increase my battery on this rom with a custom kernel. if anyone is running one on this rom let me know please
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
Sorry mate, gb kernels wont work on ics.

When htc releases the sourcecode custom kernels can be made.

Htcstock ics kernel doesnt have bad batterylife though. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] unit68:
Thanks for the heads up glad i didnt try flashing it!
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Haha, yes, that's true too.

No one really says Thank You anymore..

It's just that I've been using the KingCobra ROM since it's early Gingerbread stages, up until now, and this thread seems to be the quietest.

People aren't showing their appreciation for the hard work that devs put in. The only time they comment is, as you said, when there's a bug or if they want something.

So, Thank you Turge . ;)

I'm staying with your ROMs till you stop. They're the only ROMs I ever liked.. aha.
[HTC EVO 3D] DuratecPaul:
Actually a lot of people have said thanks to Turge.

It's called the thanks button and he has earned every single one of those clicks.

Ive been using his roms since first release of his GB Rom.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but since Beats has been taken out from KingCobra3D-ICS, have any brave one tried this mod instead:

I tried many different mods for Beats Audio, all of them fail.

It's because the current Base doesn't support Beats, yet.

Just give it some time.

I'm sure that as soon as there's one that works, Turge will put it in the ROM. So long as it's stable.

Argh... sending SMS messages suddenly stopped working for me, and I can't get it back.

I upgraded from KingCobra3D 1.4 to 1.6 a week and a half ago (did a full wipe and install) and everything had been working fine up until a few days ago (when I can confirm last sending an SMS successfully). I even had a long SMS conversation with a friend on Sunday.

Today I went to send a message to my mom, and Handcent returned that the message couldn't be sent. I tried resending a couple of times to no avail. Once I got home, I tried sending myself an SMS (which has always worked as a test before)... still no luck. I receive messages from my wife (who's still running KingCobra3D 1.4 on her phone) without issues, but cannot respond or send new messages... they always come back as failed (and she never gets them).

I have tried sending messages from the stock messaging app with the same result. I also tried uninstalling Handcent and rebooting in case a recent update messed things up, but still no luck.

I have no idea what's changed, and I've tried a number of Rogers APN settings (one I've always used and worked in the past - including currently on my wife's phone, as well as some I found online) nothing works.

Any ideas, suggestions?

-edit-

Rebooted into recovery and wiped both the cache and Dalvik. Still no good.

After searching online, I checked the test menu (dial *#*#4636#*#*). Under Phone information > SMSC it's blank. If I refresh it, the Rogers SMSC number comes up (+17057969300), but hitting update does nothing, and if I hit back to return to the Testing menu, and then re-open Phone information, it's blank again.

i had an issue similar to this but im on telus, i just shutdown did a battery pull checked to see if sim was seated then wipe caches all was good after that. maybe our problems were different as i constantly go down into the subway with no signals
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I tried as you suggested, but still can't send messages. I think you're right that it's a different issue from the one you were having.

I'm hoping not to have to re-install the ROM, as that's just a pain.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luckycookies:
hi,

i wonder what i'm doing wrong... i use version 1.2 i want to upgrade to 1.6.

i install from sd card and its stuck on boot image.

should i do something with md5? what is the md5???

how should i upgrade the firmware without mdb or ssomething like this?
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
First put this file on your sdcard: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/EVO_3D_Developers/GSM/Turge/KingCobra3D/PG86IMG.zip

Its the new firmware, then reboot in bootloader, follow instructions.

Then put your sdcard in your pc with a cardreader and remove the file.

Then install the new rom. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] hey_joe:
To update firmware, download this and put in the root of your sdcard. Boot in bootloader by pressing Vol down + Power at the same time and bootloader will do the rest. Just press Vol up to update if it ask you. Just remember to remove the file ( or remove the sdcard ) after updating firmware or you'll end up rebooting the phone endlessly.

edit: Phikal beats me to it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Luckycookies:
let me check if i understand.....put the file in the root ,boot into recovery , i use s-on.... in the recovery its should ask me to update? if not? i did try that already i didnt ask me nothing.

after that i did wipe cache + dalvik and installed (i want to update)
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
One more step, in bootloader choose hboot. it then scans automaticly for the file.
[HTC EVO 3D] hey_joe:
Read somewhere you can't update firmware if you're S-on.

edit: Turge said you have to follow this guide if you're S-On.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luckycookies:
update the firmware is necessary to make the rom work?
[HTC EVO 3D] unit68:
if your wife is on rogers as well try swapping sim cards to test and rule that out, other than that and APN issues i can only suggest backing up the current rom or data and do a wipe and reinstall. hopefully someone else has a suggestion! good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] hey_joe:
That seems to be the case. The older ones like 1.5 though doesn't because they have different rom as base.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luckycookies:
how can i switch to s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] hey_joe:
I used this windows app to do it. Will not work if your hboot is not supported in which case you will have to change it.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Ah, didn't think of that. I'll give it a try tonight.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harrold84:
When I use 1.6, I always get Phone crashes right after boot. And I don't know why, have the latest firmware installed.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
So I tried when I got home, no luck. With her SIM in my phone, I still couldn't send SMS messages, but she could send them fine with that same SIM in her phone. So I think it's ROM/kernel/firmware related.

I'm in the process of doing a re-install of 1.6 over the existing install, without a wipe. If that doesn't work, I'll start fresh.

Just odd that it suddenly stopped being able to send SMS messages out of the blue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harrold84:
What do you mean with both of the phone.apk files w/ aroma?

3) rebooted -> but stuck at htc logo

Another text messaging issue I've come across since doing a complete re-intall of 1.6:

Using the stock messaging app, I can send and receive text messages wonderfully. I can receive MMS messages without issue. But I cannot send MMS messages. Once I've attached an image (tried a bunch) to the message and press send, the send window disappears and nothing gets sent. There's also no record anything was ever sent.

I haven't tried using a 3rd party messaging app, as I'm not sure what caused my previous SMS issue and would like to avoid having it happen again.

Anyone ever experienced anything like this? My experience with the stock messaging app is limited as I've always used Handcent.

[HTC EVO 3D] Pauly_k:
I had a similar problem when I first flashed this. Battery life was great. But then I noticed my battery readings would say as an example 60% in the status bar where the system battery would read 55%.

I left the phone with my niece playing a movie. The battery should have drained it went from 25% to 20. I checked the system battery level and you guessed it. It was down at 16%.

I fixed this so they were both the same by charging my phone until the light went greenn and charged beyond that for a few hours while it was idle. Only then I wiped battery stats. Try "battery calibration" form the android market I've used it on my other phones. Makes it easier, rather than going into CWM. That then corrected the readings.

Hope that does the trick for you guys.

It should just be a calibration issue :thumbup:

Side note since moving everything from my Desire HD to my EVO 3D my battery drain has got crazy ... Anyone got any ideas for a good Kernal or anything that could be causing a wake lock or a drain? Trying to use this as my permanent phone.

This is from half hour of music. And just what's apping and texting away, I've been using xda premium for a total of 5 minutes....

Hi all,

I know this is probably already mentioned however I was unable to find it.

Issue:

After installing the ROM using 4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC6 the phone doesn't boot up. Now i've read that S-ON users need to flash the kernal after installation, which I have done however this still hasn't worked. Is there something I am missing?

Worth a quick mention, I have been able to flash this ROM before but it was the 1.5 version.

Currently I am using the NAND backup of 1.5 as my daily but would like to install 1.6 so I can change my phone from Sense to AOSP.

I have also tried re-installing the ROM after it has been installed and wouldn't boot. This didn't fix my issue.

Thanks to all that answer.

Phone information:

HBOOT: 1.49.0012

Recovery: 4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC6

S-ON: YES
[HTC EVO 3D] franatic08:
Make sure you enable smart flash (for s-on) in 4ext. No need to manually flash the kernel now.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
In order to use 1.6, you must be S-OFF and flash the new firmware..

You essentially have 2 choices, go s-off, or stay on 1.5.

Going S-Off is easy, just look up the wire trick.

Turge, are we going to see any updates or are you pretty much done with this Rom? :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] Captain_coco265:
Yes smart flash is on already.

Ohh ok, so using 1.6 is for S-OFF users only? is that correct.

Thank you however the wire trick looks a bit dangerous to be using on my daily device xD If you could provide a decent video tutorial on exactly how to do it I will give it a go :D ( I'm still a newb )

Thanks to all :) :good:
[HTC EVO 3D] khemical7:
As far as i know, you should be able to unlock your bootloader (s-off) for any compatible htc device at htcdev.com

This is the site i unlocked my gf's evo 3d bootloader with, and her phone is running this rom with next to no bugs.
[HTC EVO 3D] franatic08:
AFAIK unlocking your bootloader is not the same as S-off.

Check out revolutionary, that should help you out. Downgrading hboot is less scary then the wire trick.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Did you select any AOSP settings on first installation?

If so, first flash without any AOSP settings, boot the phone once, then without wiping install again with the preferred AOSP settings.

To go S-off with Revolutionary you probably need to downgrade your hboot. No big deal, but your Cid needs to allow it.
