Randomblame is working on Nexus 4 and Iconia A500 ROM's at the minute. The other CodefireX 4.1.2 ROM isn't getting updates either, the defs are all working on Android 4.2 which is too early / buggy to be included with these other ROM's. Patience is required.

As far as I'm concerned, both ROM's could be classes as stable if you install one of the latest Kangbang kernel's with the headset button fix. We will never have a perfect camera (green picture after taking photo, but stored photo is okay) until HTC release some source code - may never happen.

Hi,

i update my HD from R27 to R29, but i observe that the volume of ringtones are very low.

has someone the same problem or have any advice ???

Thanks

Hello,

My only complain about this ROM is the battery life. Is there a way to improve battery life for this ROM?

Everything else works perfectly.

Thanks!

Change scheduler to SIO and governor to SMARTASSV2 helps with battery life and improves performance.

battery drain problems solved for me

Hi!

After some time having battery drain problems (10% loose in 8h sleep, only 3% in sense and ICS roms in the same period of time for example) I think they are now gone!

I updated the radio to the latest, changed governor to smartassV2, changed scheduler to SIO, updated to last 1.9 performance kernel... and nothing helped, always the same drain.

I updated my beautiful widgets app to latest version that came out the other day, 5.0, and now my battery drain problems seem to have disappeared!

A question about the scheduler, which is the best one? some people here say SIO, others NOOP, I've tried both of them and found no difference at all.

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm using jellytime R29. No problems also with data connection not working and having to restart the device or going to airplane mode like before, 1.8 and 1.9 kangbang kernels solved this also!
[Desire HD Android Development] gjc:
I have found eBay app to be one of the worst offenders for battery drain.

Even with notifications switched off, if you are signed into the app it is constantly connecting for watched item updates (even if you are not watching anything !).

There is no setting to allow you to control the frequency of the checks either.

Best way is to only sign into the app when you want to check/do something, then sign out when you are finished.

(Although this means the app is not of as much use really, but its quicker than having to sign into the website on your phone).

I find that the following are also extreme battery hogs:

- Screen / Display (Even with my brightness settings at 25-30% it still uses around 10% every 10-15 mins when on, even with a brand new battery)

- Google Maps (specifically the Location Services running in "background")

- Hotmail (sometimes it seems to get stuck refreshing mail & keeps your phone 100% awake until you kill the app)

- Messenger With You (Fairly obvious really as its a constantly connected IM service)

Hope this helps.

Interesting, been looking for a solution for this (see my post here and my previous posts in this thread). I have a Desire HD and am running R29, does this mean I can just flash 1.9 Kangbang kernel on top?

Thx
[Desire HD Android Development] vjeta:
Yes, that's what I did. I've flashed 1.9 performance kernel, some people say that it's not for jelly time but I haven't got any problem.

There is a stable version of this kernel too.

I've updated my radio several times, but I've never noticed increased battery life. I think it's one of those myths... kind of like battery calibration.

Sent from my Inspire 4G w/codefireX 4.2
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
I think different users should expect different results as depending on how far they are away from transmitters their phone will use different amounts of power and some radios may result in a small change of power usage. There are far better ways to improve battery life.
[Desire HD Android Development] bbawden:
Odd. When I install the update, it just reboots to a blank screen.

I have to remove the battery, then I can reboot to recovery with the vol key.

I have done a full wipe, but it's simply not booting.

Anything I can do?
[Desire HD Android Development] rogueromeo:
I have been using Jellytime R29 for two weeks now and absolutely love it!!! Not a single problem, reboot or any FC whatsoever. This is the best ROM available for Desire HD.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Download the zip again and check the MD5 before installing after a full wipe.

The devs are all working on 4.2 and not much is happening with 4.1 anymore. 4.2 is already usable for a lot users, bluetooth seems to be the main problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] cire1980:
It's due to developers that I really do not need to get a new phone. My DHD is still not obsolete amongst the newer Android devices in the market.

But I am getting a Sony Xperia V soon, only because I want to hold something new, and not because DHD is obsolete.
[Desire HD Android Development] Largamelion:
Well, I flashed stable version 1.9 and it did not solve the problem. Wanted to go back to a previous state but now all my Nandroid backups give an MD5 mismatch when I try to restore them (JT R29 from last night, which I perfectly restored this morning, IceColdSandwich which I restored mulitple times, etc...). Did a full wipe/factory reset and wiped the cache before trying to restore.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this or am I forced to reinstall my roms and make new backups?
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Can you view the contents of your sdcard in a pc?
[Desire HD Android Development] Largamelion:
Yes, SD card is fine. I rebooted and it launched JT R29 but it 's back to stock. Don't feel like spending the next 4 hours reconfiguring my device.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Have you renamed the nandroid backups? They can't have spaces in them.

If no, are you familiar with using adb. Try this to remove corrupt md5sum that clockworkmod created and create a new md5sum. Is it clockworkmod or 4ext that you use?

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-12-11.17.05.05 (or whatever the filename is)

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

(Note the #, is a command prompt and you don't type it).
[Desire HD Android Development] Largamelion:
Thanks, you just saved me a couple of hours. I renamed my backups because it was hard to keep track of which backup what which rom. Been doing this for a while but apparently the roms I restored in the past were never renamed until I stopped restoring them :o.

Replaced the spaces with - and restoring works again.
[Desire HD Android Development] xpurtwitness:
So, I had a pretty stable R29+inspiremod for a while, and as of the last few days or week, I've started to get random reboots. Maybe once every 1-2 days, when the phone is just sitting there. The only recent changes are that I have tested several different radios, have flashed the KangBang 1.9 stable kernel (which seemed to be working fine) , and have tried a couple governor settings (but set to default upon reboot, so usually at default). So, my question is really a brainstorm: Which is the most likely culprit?

I'm thinking kernel and governor settings, since ROM was so solid for weeks. Anyone have an opinion on what might be the most likely issue? I'm trying to hold out till R30+inspiremod and do another full wipe, with no tweaks, use whatever is the most recommended radio, and included kernel.

Hello!

I flashed my DHD yesterday with Jellytime R29, first time I use this ROM : awesome ROM ! :) but I noticed some bugs. I don't know if it's the right place to expose them, so feel free to move/remove them.

1. Phone Dialer

imagine you have a contact called "John". when you press on the dialer "5646", the contact "John" appears, but when you click on it, not only it doesn't call, but the "5646" is replaced by another number (maybe an ID ? )

2. create APN

I'm from France, and I need to use 2 APNs with my provider. I removed the previous APNs and wanted to create them back.

when I create the first APN used for MMS, no problem (and I can send MMS !).

when I create the second "default" APN for internet access and save it, the APN is not created (not present in the APNs list).

I need to restore default APNs to get them back.

3. MMS

ok, I tried many ROMs, and I always had problems with MMS.

So, I decided to look at the CyanogenMod MMS APK Source Code to see what is happening

first, i was surprised when I saw my MMS working after having deleted the "internet" APN.

after many investigations, I think I have found the problem in this file :

github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms/blob/jellybean/src/com/android/mms/transaction/TransactionService.java

In fact, at some places, the constant "ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE_MMS" is used, but in other places, it's the constant "ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE" which is used.

more specifically, it's when "startUsingNetworkFeature(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE, ...)" and "stopUsingNetworkFeature(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE, ...)" are called that I think the error occurs,

when these one are called, the APN used is the default one : the internet APN, while it should use the MMS APN.

do you think it would be possible for you to compile your MMS Apk with the use of TYPE_MOBILE_MMS, in order for me to test it? i didn't find an easy and quick way to do that...

thank you for your work!
[Desire HD Android Development] dalanik:
I can confirm this bug, it has been driving me crazy, I dont know how to search for contacts from dialer, it always dials some random number :)
[Desire HD Android Development] night_stalker_z:
That random number are the last few digits of the contact number. You can scroll up and down on the number to see the rest of it.
[Desire HD Android Development] t0k0m0k0:
Is the excellent battery life due to false positive about the supposed working 3G connection?

I have an excellent battery life with my DHD and this ROM even with wifi ON...

But obviously there is a constant problem when switching from wifi, airplane modes, and back to 2G/3G connections... the phone displays the 3G symbols but actually there is... nothing!!! :p

I though some people had found the solution (see below), but actually this is really a random problem... and I hate to reboot the phone (so looong....). I never had this problem before testing this rom (I was with Icecoldsandwich for a long time) and I did all full wipe things before installing this one...

And finally I dont know if no-one is interested because of flashomanies (as they dont care to reboot once a day, thats not long enough before they change their rom) or if this is because I am excpetionnal with my DHD problem... :rolleyes:

by the way I will certainly try this kangbang kernel which seems miraculous for other things... and maybe this?

Does anyone have a problem with importing contacts from the card because I can not
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
+1 That's how the dialer works in 4.1, as above if there are more than 11 characters in the number, otherwise you see all of the number, and it doesn't start calling until you click on the handset button. Takes a while to get used to after using the Sense dialer.

To quote pnoire in the AOSP 4.2 codefireX thread, you can use SuperSU by Chainfire available in Play Store (you've to give needed rights to SuperSU before uninstalling/disabling superUser,)

Or use the flashable zip in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

After flashing, superSU needs to be updated:

- open superSU

- go to Settings

- Uncheck / check again the option Activate SuperUser

Contact cards is a known problem.

Some people with mms problems and 2 apn's can get mms to work if they merge the apn's and just have the one. Have you tried that?

Kangbang 1.9 Stable works for me but doesn't fix the data connection issue I 'm having when leaving a WIFI network. I tried the 1.9 Performance version but once flashed the DHD hangs at the boot screen. :(
[Desire HD Android Development] young440:
I flashed the 1.9 kernel as well and a few days it started a few random reboots. I flashed R29, g-apps, and inspire mod again and it hasn't crashed yet. IMO the kernel that comes with the ROM is the best
[Desire HD Android Development] t0k0m0k0:
thanks at least I feel less alone with my problem :eek:

(which looks good for battery life however, but that will be the case disabling data connection manually)
[Desire HD Android Development] michoscopic:
Small note on battery life. I've always found that it battery drop stops at 15% for quite a while (hours). There is a problem with battery reporting but I believe the actual drain isn't that bad. I would only start being concerned about battery life after it drops to 14%.

Agree/disagree pls share.
[Desire HD Android Development] Quiglesigles:
I have never had this happen. I don't understand all this discussion about poor battery life. I easily get through a full day on one charge.
[Desire HD Android Development] dalanik:
KangBang is cool. Without it I can O/C up to 1.2Ghz, with KangBang, I'm running 1.5Ghz for 2nd day, no problem whatsoever.

As far as airplane mode - it is rather individual. It always worked for me. I've been using JT since version 9.1 or such and in all that time it only wouldn't restore 3G after Wifi ONCE. And I'm constantly switching airplane mode overnight, wifi at work, otherwise 3G, etc.

but battery has always been problem for me....
[Desire HD Android Development] Haititi:
I tried this solution but it didn't work for me.

This solution works for people having 2 APNs and where each APN has the same APN Name.

In my case, the APNs used are "free" for internet APN and "mmsfree" for the MMS APN.
[Desire HD Android Development] dannytux:
Honestly, battery life for each of us is different as we have different usage. Unless you full wipe, make it standby 1 whole day and do the same with other ROM. Full wipe and no other apps, then you can compare.

My personal opinion tho :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Quiglesigles:
Don't forget that some of our batteries are older than others. There really is no way to easily test battery life, its all speculation.

Thethering on DHD works like a charm

Yesterday I migrated to JB (R29).

Based upon this thread I did not expect much with respect to tethering.

But activating the portable WIFI-hotspot on the DHD proved easy. Using my Asus Transformer (Android) I was able to find the Wifi-hotspot, connect and establish an internet connection.

I did a clean install of the ROM and the problems I currently having are no wide screen when taking a photo and not having the dutch dictionary. And is there a way to get percentage in the battery icon?
[Desire HD Android Development] xpurtwitness:
Thanks for your input. That was my feeling, as well. I may use the latest radio, and do a clean install of the ROM, as you have done. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] dannytux:
Well at first you should read in Kang bang kernel thread what is supported and what is not supported....
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
The wide screen photo you are talking about is only 6 mega pixels, you can get the same effect by using Photoshop or similar and cutting the top and bottom of the 4:3 ratio 8M photo.

Have you set System settings -> Language & input to Nederland in the available places?

Go to System settings -> System -> Status bar -> Battery status style and choose Percentage, or try one of the other options to see what you think.
[Desire HD Android Development] MrCamping:
Hi all,

I just updated my DHD to JB R29.

I've seen a lot of people talking about battery drain, but my case seems a little different.

When the phone is standby, there's no problems. I would even say battery life is impressive. Came back from work today with 75% battery left. But my phone was standby the whole day.

However, when i'm actually using it, the battery goes down by 2-3% every minute. Even if i'm not doing anything, just watching the menus. I would say the battery would be empty within an hour.

I never had that with previous versions or other roms.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] invertedskull:
I have tried, and no dice. :(

I'm in the same boat. I would love to see a resolution to this issue.

I live in Australia and my network / carrier is Virgin Mobile. I've gone into the APN settings, restored all to default and then deleted the non-Virgin APN entires. I have two APNs entries now, Virgin Internet and Virgin MMS. The Virgin MMS one needs to be modified (APN Type deleted and left blank) else the radio button will not appear, and thus this APN cannot be enabled. When I modify and enable it, I can use MMS successfully. But then the Virgin Internet is not enabled and I lose Internet access. If I enable Virgin Internet, I lose MMS but can use Internet. Obviously I need both to work simultaneously. How? What is causing this? I've been talking to Virgin Mobile support crew and I shouldn't have to switch back and forth between the two APNs. I should be able to leave Virgin Internet enabled and Internet access and MMS should work. So I am guessing something is up with the ROM, no?
[Desire HD Android Development] MikeMelbourne:
My suggestion is to look at (and duplicate) the APN settings of another Aussie who is using Virgin Mobile.

I'm still using R28 - when I installed it I could not download/view media from MMS messages (and presumably could not send MMS). SMS and general internet was working fine.

I duplicated the APN settings from my girlfriends Android 2.3 phone (also Vodafone AU) and then everything was fine.

HTH,

Mike
[Desire HD Android Development] hysteresis:
I have always had MMS problems on my DHD when running AOSP/AOSK ROMs all the way back to CM6.

[Desire HD Android Development] Largamelion:
I too am bothered with the 6M option not being available in this rom. Is there any chance this will be implemented in the future? I know it can be done with Photoshop and a macro but that 's just a lot of unnecessary work. It 's a standard feature for the DHD and pretty much all other roms support it, I 'm still hoping to see this in a future release.

Really love this rom and it 's already running as my daily driver but fixing the camera and data connection issue (in my case) would make it perfect.

Thx for all the hard work.
[Desire HD Android Development] t0k0m0k0:
I finally flashed the kangbang 1.9 kernel - performance version (said unstable?) , and it looks very good until now, lets wait some few days more to confirm, but:

- the few remaining lags disappeared (the original rom itself was already good, but switching from app to app quickly was sometime to much for my DHD... no more problem now :)

- no more problem until now switching from various wifi networks (home, work), data connection, airplane mode, everything seems perfect...

- as the data connection works really in background (no fake 3G signal display as with the default kernel) I suppose the battery drain will be faster (but between battery drain and working data connection, I prefer the second :) )

so lets continue the experience and thanks for sharing :cool:

PS: as everything looks very fast and cool I do not really see the need to use overclock like O/C as I feel it can introduce instabilities like random reboots or strong freezes... except if you use your phone for hungry 3D games?
