So after being back on the 4.0.2 radios for a few days, I have the following to report.

- I am not noticing better signal strength and battery stats are still reporting >60% time without signal.

- However, battery stats may just be misreading because my battery has been lasting longer than normal.

- Also, voice/sound quality seems to be greatly improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slacker101:
I'm having the same issues on Verizon. The hybrid 3 radio improved it a bit but my battery life is still **** and I have the extended.

Hey guys,

I know many of you don't know me but I've been doing boot animations and other graphics for some of the dev community. Anyway, I wanted to share this themed version of the WiFi Tether app I've been using for myself. Includes updated start/stop button, notification icon, widget, and app icon (screenshot attached).

This is tested working and is safe to install over an existing install of WiFi Tether. Clean install works too, of course. All pngs are optimized.

If you like it, please remember to hit thanks and remember to donate to the original dev via Paypal, harald.mue _AT_ gmail.com -- all I did was the updated graphics. Root required.

Great work! Beautiful bootanimation!

[HTC Sensation] envy4190:
Is there a bootanimation that comes with it? Great work btw :)
[HTC Sensation] 2ndIdentity:
Do you by any chance mean downanimation?

I am planning to come up with a short one for that. One that matches this bootanimation of course. :)

Included downanimation! :D
[HTC Sensation] mikeschevelle:
sorry for the noob question LOVE THIS but how could I get this to run on my Amaze?

I DL'd it and placed it where its supposed to but just got a black screen
[HTC Sensation] 2ndIdentity:
Glad that you love it! :D

My guess is you extracted and copied the bootanimation.zip to the supposed location? If yes, then:

1. Make sure the file is named correctly (must same as the original file you are going to overwrite)

2. Setting the right permission

As shown here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16154535&postcount=6

Try this and see if it works. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikeschevelle:
hmm tried but still a black screen
[HTC Sensation] 2ndIdentity:
Hmmm, that's weird. Could it be because the file I used are .jpg instead of let me convert them to .png and see if it works. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikescool:
Hi,

I was on Rocket Rom ICS V4 with Speedmod Kernel 3-3.

This morning i downloaded Triangle Away, it said it needed to boot into a special mod to get rid of the triangle. After that it has been on the boot screen and i can't get into recovery or anything.

Does anyone have experience fixing this?

Please help, thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
Just flash back a stock kernel (or Speedmod) using ODIN. Should solve the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] antiparadigm:
Hey guys and gals, another useful modification that came to the HTC sensation with the Sense 4 roms was a Rosie app drawer with 6x5 icons in portrait and 7x3 in landscape modes. This made for much less scrolling through my 100 plus apps. Im sure this mod is possible on this phone too. Would love to see it...

Thanks in advance for looking into it. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Use this and all your problems will be solved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
I've used cm9 and aokp the past month and tried the stock Kernels that come with it and Franco's. One thing is for certain. No matter combination I get horrible battery life. If I run stock android with my extended battery including various Widgets I get 24 hours battery life pretty easily. Moderate usage and some heavy usage. With cm9 I'm getting maybe 15-16 hrs with aokp maybe 8-9 hers and I'm using Franco's kernel right now. I don't understand this. People talk about how much better the battery life is with various ROMS than stock but I'm not getting it. I'm getting like half the battery life I was before. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipnekgs:
I can relate to you. Was in CM9 and Franko's kernel and as you said, horrible battery life. I went back to stock but this time I did not install apps thar would require services running (well I have to run WhatsApp so that's the only one running besides default abdroid services).

I am seeing better battery life this way.

The next step would be to install CM9 and restore all my apps to see if I can replicate the same battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
you need to find out what apps are keeping your phone from sleeping dude its not the ROM or Kernel if you want to find out you can use better battery stats or just read the permissions on your apps otherwise its probably cause your on your phone too much with the screen on first show use a usage screen shot then how many apps you have we can narrow it down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
^This, and how much on screen time are you getting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
I'm getting about 1.5 hrs screen time. With stock in was getting 2-3hrs. As far as apps keeping my phone from sleeping. I'm running the same apps I run on stock android when I was getting a full day on average so not sure how they would run different because I'm on a ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0kk0:
get better Battery stats app... And check for partial wakelocks...

I had exactly same problem... And on stock no problems

But now... Franco m4 + aokp b37

And 3 to 3.5 hours screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlemad:
I used that better battery stats app and apparently there was audio something (sorry can't remember the exact words) causing partial wakelocks, read some google search results and disabled the lock screen sound in aokp and it went away, go figure?

I swear my battery life is better with the kernel that comes with AOKP rather than franco, which was a bummer since I'd just bought the franco updater app, perhaps just my imagination or maybe something just needs to be tweaked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, this has pretty much nothing to do with the ROMs/kernels, you flash to the device. If you use the device for heavy gaming, you use loads of apps etc. the battery life will obviously be bad, because the CPU needs the according CPU clock speed...

Underclock the CPU, or better: Get AnTuTu CPU Master pro, and set the profiles, underclock screen off, to 700 MHz, and every other proile, where you do not neccessarily need the device to that speed, not below, otherwise it will just crash... That way you have the best battery life, for your usage, so basically, every time you switch the device's screen off, it will save a hell of a load of battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Under clocking doesn't do much for battery life contrary to popular belief. It just increases the time it takes to process a task. It might take 1s at 1.2ghz vs 1.8s at 800ghz to complete a given task for example. So yes the cpu will run at lower speed and voltage but it still also take longer to return to idle.

Sent from my GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, I don't really mean to break this, because it is right, but not completely...

Underclocking & undervolting, when the device is not in use (Screen off) saves loads of battery...

And because it's a dual-core, it takes mostly just as long to open an app at 700 MHz, as when you're doing it at stock clock speed, or voltage or higher.. So, in that case...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
Not sure how this wouldn't have to do with the different ROMS and kernels since I stated what battery life I was getting with stock vs using a custom kernel and ROMS. I'm giving a comparison of my battery on each with the same usasge and they are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
Thank you! I will look into this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
I will look into this as well! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkuligowski:
Okay so today I tried MIUI. The battery life blows stock android, aokp and cm9 away. I had over 3hrs of screen time today. Night and day compared to cm9 and aokp. I really don't get this.

How do i update to the latest version, arhd6.6.7.

just install from zip like how u install ARHD 6.63
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Get the zip file for the ROM from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

Go to recovery, choose wip|format & wipe cache + dalvik.

Select install from SD Card, choose the zip & install it.
[HTC Sensation] anonymous0612:
Hey thanks. Will all my apps deleted upon the update?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Nope.

But if you have problems after flashing it, you'll need to super wipe & then flash the ROM. In that case you will lose data & apps.

EDIT: There's a button for thanks mate. ;)
[HTC Sensation] anonymous0612:
What are the usual problems i'll encounter?
[HTC Sensation] Sindroid:
I still haven´t encounter any problems.

Only i can think of is:

- Boot loop or won´t start.

- Some apps won´t start and needs fix permission (can be done in recovery)

But problems rarely happens..

I have not seen this posted anywhere on here, but just in case anyone wants the new CID boot animation, you can download it here as it was recently released. Full credit goes to it's creator 73v1n;

[YOUTUBE]o05PQRO1UW4[/YOUTUBE]

Download URL as found on youtube;

http://www.mediafire.com/?wszii05t5ld13xt

http://www.4shared.com/zip/Ynjjiwom/CM9ZipSavesV2.html

Directions for those who don't know how to apply it just in case;

1. Download file, extract the "Vertical" folder from the zip.

2. Extract "bootanimation.zip" file from the "480x800" folder per our Samsung Epic 4G resolution, as you can see, there's many other resolution types for other phones.

3. Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your SD card.

4. I used Root Explorer to copy/push it by locating bootanimation.zip in directory; system/media. I'm on CM9 Beta4, file location may differ based on rom if I'm not mistaken. (Mount R/W to R/O, rename original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case, copy the new bootanimation.zip to the same directory.)

5. Set proper permissions(hard press file/select permissions) on the new file you just copied as "RW-R--R--" or view the permissions of the original bootanimation first and follow suit.

6. Exit Root Explorer and restart your phone to see that you have the new boot animation, enjoy.

Hi,

I recently tried flashing the MIUICS 2.6.8 ROM and it was successful, but on the OP of the thread it said to flash the "Lite" firmware. I flashed this upon starting bootloader, saw no difference, and tried for an older MIUI ROM - A gingerbread one to be exact, 2.5.3. I can't get it to start up. It stays at the HTC logo. Is this because of the firmware I flashed? I didn't flash the entire VM firmware, i believe it only updated 4G/WiMax, the radios and ADSP.img (or asdp.img, not sure:p) Is there a fix for this? can i flash the old section of firmware back?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muffinpunch:
Total n00b here. I think I may have really messed up my Kindle fire.

I have searched high and low for a solution but unfortunately I fail to understand some jargon, so Im stuck. Some of you may shake your heads in disgust for being forced to associate yourself with someone of my idiocy and may say it serves me right. All the same, Im desperate for help here, so anything you can do to help me out would make me infinitely grateful.

I have been researching for weeks now on rooting my Kindle fire which I recieved as a birthday gift at the end of April so I could tap into its full potential. I was running the most recent firmware (6.3.1) and finally decided to downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 to my PC and pull the trigger on Rooting it. I had some initial driver issues, but eventually got the KFU to show an ABD status of "Online" with a Boot Status of "4000". I had read in a few places that it was a good idea to make a recovery before doing anything else, so without giving it much thought I typed 3 (Install Latest TWRP Recovery) and hit enter. The KFU displayed the screen "waiting for device" and the KF went to the boot logo screen, which is where it has stayed ever since. It never occurred to me that I should first "ROOT" my kindle, and I dont know if this is directly responsible for my current situation or not.

Ive attempted to follow various suggested methods of recovery (power off Kindle, and powering it back on after restarting my computer and initiating Bootmode command 1 <4000>normal and command 3 <5001>recovery (in separate instances) and uninstalling/reinstalling drivers.) but now every error that can occur does. At this point Im ready to throw in the towel and Id be happy to just get my Kindle back to its factory settings but I dont know how I can do that.

I have come across various threads that appear to address just my problem by downloading the original Kindle firmware update from Amazon, renaming it "update.zip" and "flashing it to the sd card", but I have no idea what that means or how to do it. PLEASE HELP!!!!

(after my first misadventure there is now a "recovery" folder in the directory where I unzipped the KFU. Im inclined to think this might help, but I dont know how or what to do with it.)

Thanks in advance for anyone patient enough to respond to this.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muffinpunch:
Ok, so after further researching this problem, I have taken note that many users have successfully, installed a TWRP recovery without Rooting their Kindle Fire, (at least that is how I understand it). Evidently its not uncommon for a failure to occur during the process of any one of the optional commands given in the KFU, almost always causing this "boot logo error" or similar mishap.

That being said, I have attempted every other form of recovery mentioned on this and other forums, including Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility, with no success. The underlying problem being, that anything I am attempting to correct through the computer never reaches my Kindle. My PC acknowledges that there is something plugged into the USB port by sounding an alert tone, but it sounds different, like theres some kind of error, and the "USB error" icon appears on the right hand side of the "Start bar" (I normally use a Mac, so Im no hip to all the PC lingo) When I click it I get one of two messages no matter which port the device is plugged into: either the Kindle is labeled as an "Unknown Device" and that drivers could not be located, or that my device could perform "faster" if I moved it to a "high speed" USB port (all of the ports on my computer are listed under High Speed). When checking the device utilities folder, previously the driver was consistently called "Android ABD Interface" with a yellow error sign. Upon "updating driver" I would get the error code 10, "this device cannot start". Now however, no driver is displayed whatsoever for my Kindle, android or otherwise...

Ive read that in some cases, allowing the battery to completely drain then plugging in and booting it back up will cause a Kindle in this state to "default to its factory settings", so this will be my last ditch effort to salvage my Kindle before I resign myself to returning it to Amazon in hopes that it will still be covered under warranty. I guess Im just not cut out for this sneeky stuff. The retarded thing is, the only reason I wanted to Root my Kindle fire in the first place was to personalize the backgrounds...

what happened is your stuck in fastboot and your windows drivers are all buggered up. I can tell you what I would do?

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

unplug your kindle from your computer and use system restore to roll your computer back to when your drivers were good not to be confused with system recovery if your with me so far?

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

its very likey that adb will not detect your kindle it cannot while its in fastboot

But first try this shift plus right click on the tools folder in kindle fire utility select open command window here power your kindle off and enter the command

Fastboot getvar product (hit enter)

Plugg your kindle in it will power on in fastboot

If you get the response product: kindle then we can move on.

I think so, though I dont know how to perform a "system restore"... If it was a Mac id simply jump into the Time Machine and roll back the clock a few hours, but I dont even back up my PC cuz I use it for nothing but the occasional game and PC exclusive stuff like "this"...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The problem really isn't that you've done anything wrong. For some reason when the device switches from normal boot (4000) to fastboot (4002), Windows fails to recognize it as being in fastboot mode. The typical fix is to reinstall the drivers. Unfortunately, it isn't always as easy as it sounds. Sometimes it works and sometimes you'll end up bald from pulling your hair out over it, and I have yet to see a definitive solution to this problem. So, as of now, success is really just hit and miss.

There are, however a few tutorials to give you a decent foundation to work from.

YouTube is likely to have a few thousand videos on the topic as well.

If all else fails, you can always set up a Linux LiveUSB and issue adb/fastboot commands from there, but I would consider that a last resort, unless you are already familiar with Linux.
