I wish sense was smart enough to rebuild it's widget db when you add one to /system/app but it's not. To force it to rebuild them, go to /system/app using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (in root mode, with the option checked to mount system as writable). Long press on HtcClock3DWidget.apk and just take the "k" off the end: rename it to "HtcClock3DWidget.ap". Then rename it again and put the "k" back: "HtcClock3DWidget.apk". Then back out of your file browser and you should see Sense reload/rebuild. That should do it. You don't even have to reboot: the clock widget should be there once you do that.

If you remove HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk from /system/app and clear defaults for those apps and it will work normally. Not sure why rom devs leave this in.

To be honest I have not considered anything about the bootloader since downgrading and getting s-Off. I will point out that us "downgraders" don't have hboot 1.40 but "Revolutionary Hboot 1.40.1100".

My understanding is that it has more functions than stock hboot 1.40/1.50 but less functions than the Engineering Hboot. Kinda like your Jbear Hboot 1.50.5050, but I could be wrong. I'm sure one of the devs like Mike, Chad, Joeykrim, xhausx, freeza, Unknownforce, Closeone, etc would know.

Hboots:____________________Differences:

1.xx.xxxx ? (Eng Hboot) = Extended functions

1.30

1.40

1.40.1100 (Revolutionary)

1.50

1.50.5050 (Jbear for GB)

1.57.5757 (Jbear for ICS)

Is there any reason that my baseband version still hasn't updated from 0.97.10.0808? I am on v1.7 and everytime I install a newer MRICS version I always (and I mean always) factory reset, format all partitions, then superwipe, then flash ROM.....?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You have to update your fw/radio to the 2.17 base for it to change. If you are s-off, you can use Freeza's All In One or xhausx's fw Update (what I used). If you are HTC Unlocked the only way is to Relock the bootloader and run the full 2.17 RUU (also in xhausx's post), Then you can restore your mrICS nand backup.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
Sounds like 2.08 firmware radio you need freezas all in one 2.17 firmware but if its all working fore you hey whatever. S-on u have to lock bootloader and update it phone and reunlock all in one flashes require s-off

I have for now, but I assume it would save a lot of battery if it worked right. I don't have a problem in other ROMs, so I wanted to make it known as a possible bug.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Its not a bug. Turn it to always on if you want to stay connected while screen is off. No other way around it. Its the way ICS is made, nothing to do with MR

Things here go threw stages, it takrs time and a great team of minds to achieve something like this. I personally did the wire trick to but I I also thank yhr guys at the 1.4 downgrade forum for putting together their time and minds to try to get us something we can do about the 1.5 s-on situation.
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
You can use juice defender ultimate which can disable all connections while screen is off.

I have my profile configured at enabling any available connection for a couple of minutes every so often to let apps that need to sync do so and i get great battery life while not having yo worry that apps that don't need to sync are doing so at any time they want.

Let me know if you decide to go this route, I can provide you with a configuration template

After flashing Leedroid tweaks I cant figure out how to get back to 5x4 rosir any help will be appreciated lol
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Isn't this a problem stemming from the lawsuit that apple filed and won. Is this a new thing that htc updated in their latest so they can comply with the copyright infringement? And if so is it possible to pull the link feature from older browsers, apps and start making default in newer versions.

I haven't upgraded from 1.5 yet and I can click on links, phone numbers and it will take me to the right place.
[HTC EVO 3D] FractalSphere:
Oh man! I just got 1.5 loaded up this weekend like Saturday morning and already 1.7 is out?! :p

So far I've seen better idle battery life - my main concern is ROMs and devices in general that are out there. Thank you for that! =)

Does ADW launcher draw battery much? I use ADW and MultIcon a lot - and hope those aren't killing performance while I try to make my life easier. ;)

I flashed leedroid over this and lost 5x4 rosie, how do I get it back?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
First, keep in mind, that there are technically two S-OFF's, the hboot and the radio. This is somewhat misleading. When you're phone displays S-OFF on the hboot screen, this is actually the Radio S-OFF, not hboot S-OFF. Gaining hboot S-OFF is actually just as simple as flashing a new modified hboot. (which is why there are revo hboot and now jbear hboot, they have been modified to now have hboot S-OFF)

hboot S-OFF is almost the same as unlocking your bootloader via HTC's method. Just that HTC's method doesn't get you S-OFF and is more limited than revo/jbear S-OFF.

So a few of the the differences here are:

1.) ENG Hboot is S-OFF and offers more fastboot commands and a few more unlocked features. This is an advanced hboot that you can do serious damage to the partitions in your phone if you don't know what you're doing. It's kind of like an all access pass.

2.) The stock hboots are S-ON, they don't allow very many of the fastboot commands. These are limited to very basic fastboot commands.

3.) revo/jbear are S-OFF, they allow for many of the "standard" fastboot commands, like flashing to partitions and whatnot, but not nearly as "feature packed" as the eng hboot, these are typically enough for normal users.

As to it providing any benefit to using a newer version of hboot, the only one that provides more features is the eng hboot for more fastboot access. What this means is that there's no major feature/performance difference between 1.30 and 1.57 aside from some appearance and some security adjustments (to allow HTC Unlock and also attempt to counter the S-OFF/exploits)

As I understand it, the differences between radio S-OFF and hboot S-OFF are basically as follows:

Radio S-OFF has signature verification off, what this means is that you can flash any PG86IMG.zip and it doesn't have to be signed by HTC. This will allow it to flash just about anything from there. This is why you can revert to a lower hboot without having to do anything special when you accidentally (or purposefully) flash a new hboot over your revo or any other hboot. Radio S-OFF also doesn't check the signature of most of the current partitions (so you don't get "security warning")

hboot S-OFF allows many more of the fastboot commands to be accepted and opens up the ability to flash some of the restricted partitions from it as well.

Hope this helps clear up some confusion.

I have been on 1.5 s-on forever and never ever had a problem with boot Loops or any other problems unless they were caused by myself. I've been flashing Mr gingerbread through Mr ics without a hiccup. Kernels, no problems there either.

Something ate the hell out of my battery last night. It was quote odd. I am running 1.7 all stock. Went to bed at 100% say around 1 in the morning woke up around 330 am was at 92 percent. Checked my email and jumped on this thread. When I was done I put the phone back down at 89% woke at 830 and now I am down to 52% battery. I left WiFi on but it did bot hold the connection. And even when I turned my screen back on it would not auto reconnect. I actually had to tap the WiFi button to turn off then back on my WiFi radio for it to reconnect. I looked at my battery usage and my cell stand by was at 23% what do you guys think?
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
I have terrible battery life on this ROM, especially while asleep. I go from 80% to 30% easily every night. I leave wifi on, could that be the problem?

[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Maybe this ROM just isnt quite ready yet. Thinking about jumping back to the Gingerbread based 4.x series....
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Sucks to hear that because battery has been on par with GB for me
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
If you are having that significant of a battery drain then there is something else going on and it has zero to do with the ROM's readiness IMO. I have had great battery life from the onset of MRICS and I consider myself a moderate user. I work 12-hour shifts and have a 1.5 hour drive to work each way. Starting out on a full charge from the night before and not getting plugged in at work whatsoever, I will be down to no less than 45% when I get back home.

This ROM is more than ready for anyone's daily use and I predict it will only get better.
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
Same here. Great battery life!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Stock battery?!
[HTC EVO 3D] long_tall_texan:
I'm having great battery life on 1.7. Only dropped down to 86% with a full day (16 hrs) of medium use yesterday.

However, I did "calibrate" my battery earlier last week too. That really did seem to make a huge difference too.

And yes, Stock battery, Wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth on, not 4G though.
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
is your 4G on? how about wi-fi, gps, bluetooth? I have a hard time believing that you actually use your phone.

I just went to take a cr_p and with everything on (including 4G), my phone went from 77 to 66 in ablut 10 mins. Don't get me wrong, i am not blaming on the ROM, but i think once the radios are in use this phone eats the battery like and ungry russion drinking vodka.
[HTC EVO 3D] SeeNev:
I'm getting terrible battery life with these roms. I'm guessing that ICS just uses more power??? Can anything be done to increase battery life? I have 2 spare batteries and had to use all three of mine in less than a day!
[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:
This is with stock battery and WiFi on.
[HTC EVO 3D] xiton:
I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. There's no problem with the wifi turning off when I turn off the screen. It just doesn't ever turn back on after I wake the screen again.

While all ICS ROMs turn off, only this ROM doesn't turn back on.
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Negative on the 4G because there is scarce coverage in my area. Wi-Fi is always on, same with the GPS. Bluetooth only on when I am driving. I txt and talk like a maniac while at work because I am always coordinating things for my two part-time jobs as well as being a supervisor at my full-time job.

I'm at work right now and took my phone off the charger at 0530 (Eastern Time). I have been tapping away and had I don't know how many calls since that time and I am still at 72% with stock battery.

Here's a link to a thread that describes that mod. Apparently freezing the .apk with TB isn't enough and it has to be completely removed.

Someone in that thread said that removing this .apk also breaks links to phone numbers and GMaps in the browser, but I haven't confirmed that.

[HTC EVO 3D] CiDhed:
I hadn't tried it but yeah, it does stop those from working. I removed it when I started seeing it in my app history. Noticed that it solved the issue I was having with youtube and have been removing it since.

That feature was really hurting apple sales, I'm sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That sounds like what is commonly called a "topping off" process. The apps that "calibrate" normally delete the battery stats file when charged to 100%, but according to this article that doesn't really do anything.

[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
Dont get so defensive.... I am judging by strictly comparing battery life on the Gingerbread based series. And it is a night and day difference. Also if you go back and look at my original post 3 other people replied having the same issues with battery life. So its not just me.

[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Your statement about the "ROM not being ready" is a bit much TBH...Mike has to work with what he is given and that's all we can ask of him. Without a modified kernel and only a VM leak to work with, he has given us a ROM that undoubtedly would beat a stock OTA ICS in both performance and battery life. It is no surprise that it can't stand up to a GB ROM that people had months and months to work with and further develop both the ROM and kernel, but IMO that's why you can't compare the two as of yet, but this one is definitely more than capable of getting any kind of user through his/her day.

It's just very uncouth to tell someone in an open forum that the project he is working on and has been working on virtually non-stop, "...just isn't ready yet..."
[HTC EVO 3D] fwhite42:
It's kind of already been said, but I'll be more clear: for folks experiencing poor battery life, it may be kernel not ROM.

If you are using the Anthrax 1.5 workaround/fix kernel, you will likely have less battery life than the stock kernel. And, you might be thinking of that as a GB vs. ICS thing because you may have had to use the Anthrax kernel to get ICS to work at all.

I'm a big chad.goodman/Anthrax fan, but bear in mind that particular kernel is a TEST kernel, and it's overclocked by default at that. My battery life on MeanROM was terrible with Anthrax (even after I cranked down the overclock a bit), and my battery life on stock ICS kernel has been tremendous.
[HTC EVO 3D] long_tall_texan:
I agree that it seems to be more of a topping off or trickle charging to max capacity. I just got the term "Calibrating" from Swag over in the SOS thread. I am sure most of the gains are from topping off, can't see where deleting the batt stats would really have much effect. I do know that the last charge to green after turning on and then right back off took a long time. Since it had already been green twice, I figured it would go pretty quick to green on the 3rd charge, but I was surprised. Took almost 2 hours with the HTC Charger.. ???
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
+1 man.

As far as battery I get as good battery with heavy usage as gb. Sorry u want to not charge ur phone or you want to blame rogue apps on mike. This is an amazing stable Rom with great battery and does way more than gb. Show the devs respect or go back to stock and wait for it to be sprint bloat ready.

Maybe I am missing something.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
What kernel are you using? Since you were able to charge last night but not now, it sounds as if you have a defective usb port. There are no charge issues with the rom or any kernels unless you are using Anthrax Rls 1
[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Does the LED light up when you plug it in and you still don't notice the battery level going up or does it just not do anything at all?
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Mr. fwhite42 you hit the nail on the head.

As said, I'm a big fan of his work as well, but that Kernel wasn't ready for prime time. I remember flashing it and my phone was overheating all the time, till I saw that it was clocked at 1.5GHZ. Plus the kernel had many other issues.

I would recommend anyone who want's ICS, that if it doesn't play good after you've flashed it because of the hboot 1.5 S-On issue, downgrade or wire trick (choose your poison, lol)

I had the same problem when ICS roms first dropped. I flashed one of the generic Chad Anthrax Kernel and just didn't work right. That is when the Kernel were not really made for the VM leak. Anywho I ended up downgrading to Hboot 1.4 with s-off and now I am flashing like crazy. I know 4EXT wasn't playing nice with the kernels even with Smart flash on. My advice to anyone now is go Hboot 1.4 all the way. It wasn't really that hard, the hardest part was bricking your phone on purpose the timing sucks lol.

Anyways good luck and congrats on getting it to flash using a different kernel.
