Wait...you were on Fro what? People still have that on their EVOs?

Regardless, CM7 is great, but it seems to me that the keyboard lags **just** a little bit. It certainly doesn't behave as well as Sense roms (Sense 2.1, to be exact).

Maybe it's just me. It could be in my head...

Anyone find a way to speed up Team DIRT's ParanoidAndroid JB ROM? I love it, except it's slow as excreting molasses through one's hindquarters. I've tried different processor speeds/governors, launchers, Pimp My ROM .zip, etc., but to no avail........

tried the aokp? from source, it was a little too laggy for my taste, and the settings crashed on me after stopping few apps i didn't want running, other than that it was pretty nice, ill give it a try once there is a stable rom out
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Swiperrat's AOKP Blackbean ROM is a must try. I'm on version 3.2.1. Very solid, nicely themed and fast. Even YouTube works great and without skipping.
[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
Im new to roms and all these but ive used some of mazdas jelly bean roms and they worked great.Anyway lately several roms i have been flashing just keep booting up and r.sing. I have been wanting to try aokp blackbean rom but i cant seem to get back boot up.I am using the proper recovery and i partitioned my sd card (not sure whats point in it cus im a rookie lol) any help is appreciated thanks.
[EVO 4G General] bimmerman7:
Maybe you got a bad download...happened a couple times to me. Make sure you check how many mb's the rom is when you go to download it, and before you flash use a file explorer to see if your rom zip matches...then you should be good to go! Oh and make sure you are wiping everything except your SD card before you flash....and sometimes can take several minutes at the boot screen...be patient with it!
[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
ya download is good and i am wiping everything needed.

Has anyone tried MazWoz's JB rom? I'm loving it! It's the smoothest I've run yet! You just need to flash a GPS fix and then this rom is gold. Definitely going to be running this for a long time
[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
finally got a jellybean rom to flash.dunno what was going on but yes i have tryed the MazWoz's JB rom.I also am really enjoying it and will use it for a good while.It is very smooth.I was using a teamdirt jellybean rom but seemed a bit sluggish. Slight battery drain but no big deal.I think hes adjusting kernel for the battery drain.
[EVO 4G General] Joshmccullough:
Anyone have a lead on whether or not Team DIRT will update their ParanoidAndroid JB build? I love it other than the fact that it's sloooooooo, and I can't see to get it sped up no matter what I try. Not trying to be 'that guy' (too late), but just wondering if anyone had any inside info on it. Mazda talked about it needing updating, hope it hasn't fallen by the wayside because it's otherwise an awesome ROM.
[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
Last I heard I think mazda is busy with some stuff but im sure he will update the roms. I agree with you about team dirt. Love their roms.

[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
dunno if my phone is a fluke but I saw people talking about battery life issues before the update and I had them too..However I installed app called cpu tweaks and playnig around with all the settings battery life was great on performance setting. Dont ask me how because it makes no sense but it worked great lol.conservative was good to but phone ran slow.might be worth checking out.
[EVO 4G General] kendallc123:
Sweet, did the performance gov notably increase performance? I might have to try that if battery is so good!
[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
oh ya.it runs fast on the setting as well.app even shows you what speed its running at and im loving it.I finally have some free time so i plan on updating the rom with new release and Ill retest everything. I'm also going to attempt to partition my sd card which i never done before lol. If it works I should receive more speed also.

Missing SMS Notification Sounds

Rather than post in many of the jb roms, I wanted to ask my question here.

I have tried several of the jb roms from here for the evo 4G and most if not all of them work good EXCEPT I keep losing the notification sound for text messages.

When I install the rom, all works well. Then later in the day, I will see the icon for a text message but did not receive the notification sound or reminder sound.

If I go into settings and touch the volume control for notification they work, and the next few text messages will have notification sounds. Then a few hours later, no sounds again.

The phone always rings, and pandora always plays. It seems to be only text notifications.

I have tried stock sms, chomp sms, handscent, and gosms pro, all with the same results. Tried fixing permissions, and clearing caches.

All of these will make it work for awhile. Then a few hours later, no notification sounds.

Have any of you had sucess if solving this?

I really want to use one of the jb roms, but can't keep missing the wife's text messages ):>>

I was using Madwoz for a while i liked it but i kept losing notification sound and at some point my gmail stopped syncing entirely. So i switched back to a sense ROM (Infamous) which i liked but found that it took up a lot of my internal memory and i was getting constant low memory notifications.
[EVO 4G General] skipwilly:
Yeah I've been using Mazwoz's rom for a little while now. At first it was really good and smooth, but more recently I have had a lot of problems with not receiving texts and phone calls as well as other random errors too... The rom seems to have gotten less stable over time.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

does anyone have any suggested alternatives that are probably more stable?
[EVO 4G General] littlemammoth:
I do find the more current 4.2.2 Roms out there to be a bit more stable long term than Mazwoz's was for me. However, I get that for all of the JB Roms I have flashed. At this point I am pretty much between Unofficial Slimbean and Unofficial AOKP. Both have been pretty good over the long haul, but then again, for me a week is considered long.
[EVO 4G General] radioman42001:
Did your notification sounds continue working all week ? If so, what sms were you using?

I lost notification sound on slim bean to very low level after 2 days. Everything else on slimbean worked and it was smooth.
[EVO 4G General] _thrasher_x:
Slim Bean notifcations worked fine for me, until I decided to change the tones. What I ended up doing to make it stay loud was changing the default to something loud by default, (I used canopus.ogg from a copy I had on my sdcard) then going into each app that has or provides a noise of some kind (sms, xda, Gmail, gtalk) and changing it's notification to 'Default Notification'. They all sound the same, but I can hear it fine. Oh, I also unticked the ringer - notification same volume option. I'm not on Slim Bean now, but I originally got that tone from blakcm.

I have to have badges for my building, inside the building, the parking lot of work and home. I really hope thinks of a way soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aeakin:
Although I think this would be a great idea, it would be impractical for me due to the restrictions for my badge. Where I work (an airport), my badge must be displayed above the waist at all times when in the SIDA. So having my phone be able to unlock the doors proves to be impractical in my situation.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
It would have to be implemented by your company. Standard badges I'm prtty sure are just RFID embedded within your badge, and then checked against a security protocol. In theory, you could move that RFID tag to within your phone battery cover. NFC would be a completely different implementation and likely require a retrofit of the door scanners.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] LoveNFC:
NFC is a type of RFID. Many badge systems use 13.56MHz frequencies, which should make them compatible with NFC. For example, at my place of work, passing my Galaxy Nexus across the door/printer access readers results in a response from the reader (a red light).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:

Pants - is the only way to describe that post, false info.

It does no harm at all to fully discharge, more problems are caused by giving regular, short charges, than 1 long full charge so i wouldnt believe that.

He also says to charge it 8-10 hours, that total rubbish as well, these batteries dont need 8-10 hours to prime, on average 3-4 hours for a full charge is more than adequate.

I think few year back batteries were far inferior and did indeed need longer charging periods, but not any more, and if ya flash roms a lot and need to calibrate your battery after flashing to a new custom rom indeed part of the calibration process is completely running down the battery, my s2 is well over a year old and has been drained flat many a time and i still get 14 - 20 hours out of it on average, which is damn good for any smart phone these days, That post is on a HTC Thread by the way, Htc notoriously have batteries with a crappy life span, i had a wildfire s, used to get about 6 hours out of the battery.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileot:
Lol, short version: Depending on the battery type you will want to drain it completely before charging or never drain it completely. Let it charge fully overnight or it only needs a few hours.

Seriously, do some reasearch on batteries. Figure out what types there are, how they are different, and what makes them different. each has advantages and disadvantages.

Every battery type is a little different. For our phones will be different than for your rechargable nicad batteries at home, or the batteries in your remote control vehicles.

Bottom line: We COULD tell you, but that would be defeating the purpose. Instead we are pointing you in the right direction to acquire the knowledge yourself. Happy hunting! let us know how it works out!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave7802:
In simple, it actually causes more harm discharging the battery to empty.

There is alot of do's and donts to preserve the battery,

Info:

The Li‑ion charger is a voltage-limiting device that is similar to the lead acid system. The difference lies in a higher voltage per cell, tighter voltage tolerance and the absence of trickle or float charge at full charge. While lead acid offers some flexibility in terms of voltage cut‑off, manufacturers of Li‑ion cells are very strict on the correct setting because Li-ion cannot accept overcharge. The so-called miracle charger that promises to prolong battery life and methods that pump extra capacity into the cell do not exist here. Li-ion is a “clean” system and only takes what it can absorb. Anything extra causes stress.

Most cells charge to 4.20V/cell with a tolerance of +/–50mV/cell. Higher voltages could increase the capacity, but the resulting cell oxidation would reduce service life. More important is the safety concern if charging beyond 4.20V/cell. Figure

Discharging:

Li-ion should never be discharged too low, and there are several safeguards to prevent this from happening. The equipment cuts off when the battery discharges to about 3.0V/cell, stopping the current flow. If the discharge continues to about 2.70V/cell or lower, the battery’s protection circuit puts the battery into a sleep mode. This renders the pack unserviceable and a recharge with most chargers is not possible. To prevent a battery from falling asleep, apply a partial charge before a long storage period.

Battery manufacturers ship batteries with a 40 percent charge. The low charge state reduces aging-related stress while allowing some self-discharge during storage. To minimize the current flow for the protection circuit before the battery is sold, advanced Li-ion packs feature a sleep mode that disables the protection circuit until activated by a brief charge or discharge. Once engaged, the battery remains operational and the on state can no longer be switched back to the standby mode.

Do not recharge lithium-ion if a cell has stayed at or below 1.5V for more than a week. Copper shunts may have formed inside the cells that can lead to a partial or total electrical short. If recharged, the cells might become unstable, causing excessive heat or showing other anomalies. Li-ion packs that have been under stress are more sensitive to mechanical abuse, such as vibration, dropping and exposure to heat.

And may i point out, this is a community, People ask questions and peoples feedback, the web is not always correct and nor is the information you find.

It takes more effort to argue with someone and to point someone in the right direction, instead of just answering there question.

We have all been New here once before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Indeed, not everything on the web is correct.

But may

I

point out that all you did was copy and paste text from this page, which donalgodon linked in post 4, and again, I feel I must point out, was actually one of the results in the Google search I linked him to.

The point I was trying to make, and seems lost on you, is teaching people how to look for stuff on their own. No one should just expect to be spoon-fed information. That is lazy to just post a question on a forum, sit back, and watch the answers roll in. You should do your own legwork and research.
