This is after applying some tweaks...

5.5 hours - night time, mobile data connection switched off

1.5 hours - played music while Airplane mode was switched on

3 hours - background data connection was ON, sync and other moderate use of internet and social networks.

Will try some more tweaking :p

Blue-awake and screen on

:)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
Did it just now will tell the results tomorrow !!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Idea was, on the previous screen, because as I see it the blue graph is continuous, that means that something was keeping your phone from sleep, if you kept it awake all the time it's normal to drain battery that fast, it even should do it faster(for the previous pic) so you definetly should install something to check out what's causing this.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
Also check this -

In you screenshot I can see Equalizer eating up battery... Try disabling "Enable Wakelock" option..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
silly to ask but whats the use of wakelock i enabled it when my Music player was lagging but it did not make any change so i left it .
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
Wakelock is a kernel mechanism for power management. When a thread holds a wakelock, the kernel will refrain from entering a low-power state. It is useful... and in case of equalizer or any such app it can provide performance even when the screen gets turned off but draining more battery in the process.... So unnecessary wakelocks should be eliminated...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
Ok and I installed better battery stats now can u tell what to do its confusing me a bit

New problem

If I recovery mode and again reboot my phone frm recovery mode ext partition is not working.

All the app which I have installed are not working after that.

And i also installed Rom manager and after installing it all the apps in ext partition were not working.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
Don't use ROM manager ! Did you install or updated your recovery through it?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
@akya22: I'm looking for your new release :D. Can your give us a quick reveal at what's new :D? I tried lots of launcher on v1.3, all lags :(. Finally try RAM Manager, and now, Sense launcher runs smoothly.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
It's nothing like that I entered recovery mode many times but never faced this problem
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] coolmanish4ads:
I just installed rom manager opened it and when closed it and came to menu all apps which were on ext partition were not showing .

So again flash with your Rom

I don't usually post this stuff... because it's mostly just for me... but here are some proposed changes in the next version.. Please note that some changes can be added/removed or simply not implemented... These are just guidelines for myself... Don't blame me if you see/don't see some of these in the next version :cowboy:

--Removed--
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
which apps are defined as bloatwares :D? I really love to see recent apps removed, that makes more room for notifications :D. thank you very much :D.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
mostly HTC widgets and stuff... some people don't like that... Since my ROM is based on sense, I don't want to remove anything from HTC (logging apps and other crap was already removed )... but will add a list later of what the script will remove and why..

I have removed recent apps bar in the default version.. but will add a separate download for people who need that bar...

Some Suggestions for v1.4 of NextGen ROM

1.Please remove the "NextGen" text on the circle of the lockscreen as i think simplicity is the best.

2.Please do give an option for Recent apps bar

3.Please do not remove HTC Widgets and some other usefull HTC Apps

Thank You!!!:good:

:laugh:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
That's why I don't usually post what changes I am thinking about... Please read carefully... it's a script.. I am not going to remove anything from ROM... Those who wan't to remove that stuff , will be able to do it safely...

1. No I won't remove it. It's like a logo that comes printed on anything you buy.. Don't like it? Use custom lockring...

2. There already is an option.

3. Already explained above.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Thanks akya22 for posting the intended changes. It give me something to do while waiting for your ROM, and let me know what I am expecting. I'm kinda disappointing about people who never read anything properly but keep asking :(.

Do you use 3G on your phone? Normally, the phone stay at UMTS, but when there's need for traffic, it automatically switch to HSDPA, and that moment, the phone is very laggy. The same thing happens when I use Auto mode, normally on EDGE, when needed HSDPA comes in, with the lag :(.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] satvik7star:
If you are referring to me then please let me tell you that i am not criticising this ROM it is just osm.i had already read his intended changes and i had thought about some proposed changes yesterday
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Sorry for double posting, but I think this is important enough to be posted separately. I think I found out what make NExtGen 1.3 reboot on it own. I left my phone to download something, and then when I look at it, it's rebooting :(. I did some test, I set screen time out to 15s, and leave screen on. After 15s, tadaaa, it reboots :(. I use an app called Screen Off and Lock to lock phone, I uninstall it, and test, the phone reboots when screen times out. Tried with various setting, 30s, 1 minute, 2 minute, and the phone always reboots when screen times out. Even on my first test, when it finish booting, wait for me to unlock (no security), I react lately, and it reboots. So I think there's some problem with the CRT animation.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
I just tried changing my screen timeouts.. no problem here... Was it like this the moment you installed the ROM? because if not then most likely this is because of some app...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
ok, then it's my fault :D. Do you use any app to turn off your screen? Maybe those apps cause conflict?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
I don't use any app for that.. but let me try the app you mentioned..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
I tried googling "phone reboot when screen time out" and many people said the problem is gone after they remove CRT mod. This problem seem to be random. Some say it is connected to brightness. Can you try to let screen times out at 0% brightness? And a quick guide to remove CRT mod for me, if you would please :D.

Maybe you should have a quick look at this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293316

Ok, I tried to let it times out at 20% brightness, no reboot.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
I tried that app.. no reboots or anything yet... keep testing some more...and about removing CRT mod, give me some time..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Thank for helping me so far. Could you try to set screen brightness at min? It could be the app "Brightness Level Disc", it seems to set my brightness lower than the min level in setting.

Ok, the problem is with the app I use to set brightness. Thanks you very much for helping me out. Now, I will have to wait for your v1.4 to have brightness setting in notification :D.

Why? It has fully automated procces, to put app's on sd card, only thing that stays on internal memory is app data, that's made so the app's performs smoother. And mostly why is this, that, everybody want to have much free internal memory, just to stay there and not be used?

No. m2sd can do everything that those scripts can.. I have posted in ungaze's thread.. check there... Also I have explained everything why/where/ how etc etc about memory management in 3rd post..

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Well, running v1.4 from last night, and not until this morning, after reading XDA, I realize that wifi don't work :)). I like to use 3G all the time, only when I update apps in the morning that I use wifi :)). After flashing the quick fix, everything is OK now.

To anyone complaint about battery life: try removing HTCLocationService.apk, and your phone will fly. No more battery drain, also no more lag. From what I understand, the service behave well first few days, and then, it continuously request "location", which cause lag (CPU is consumed) and battery drain, also network usage increase. Just mind that without it, you cannot use "current location" in weather, and the weather in desk clock also disappear. I just fix a location to show weather.

Trust me, I also have to do this since the time I'm on MasterMInd ROM. When I first install NExtGen, I think it's fixed, but after 1 week, phone start to slow down. And now, without it, Sense is smooth as hell. Some Google results also report that apk is also corrupted even on ICS ROM (with Sense 4.0), it's corrupted since Cupcake 1.5 :)).
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jamesmalit3:
Well then, if Wifi is fixed, then the best it is. :)) Thank you for the quick response.:laugh:

New OTA

hey @akya22

thanks for the new version its really getting awwesome day by day.

Wanted to ask you if you could make your next NExtGen version using Indian Rom v1.31.xx as the base if its not any difficulty for u .

i am asking for this bcoz the new OTA update added many new features like Devnagri , tamil , Malyalam support in the phone and also App Sharing facility ,Defragmentation app, Newer versions of widgets with indian languages support(the reason why newer versions of clock and people widgets are clashing or not installing)and some more apps too :rolleyes::rolleyes: .I observed these differences on seeing my friend's explorer (we bought them together) so i thought of suggesting you. :angel::angel::angel::angel:

Thanks in advance!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
That would mean doing everything from the scratch again.. but I will see.. that app sharing thing etc were removed on purpose..

Also NExtGen will show Indian languages one day.. and full support for maybe Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian and cpl more languages... I have it on my to do list.. but it's really a time consuming work.. and there are no guarantees.. I am just one guy working on the ROM... so let's see.. Just know that I am aware of implementing this..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
I suggested that bcoz htc pre configured the support for them in the new rom so you wont need to add support for them in the older version as its already done by htc.

But the bigger thing is u would have to do integrate all the scripts again in the new ota which is a dangerous and tym consumiing task thats why its just a suggestion ;);):):)

Battery

I've got huge battery problem. Phone drains battery very fast. Is it just me?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
All 4 nights with NExtGen (auto sync off, mobile network off), I lost 1% each night 2200-400. And in the last 2 days, with moderate usage, including 30 min viber, 500 messages in and out whatsapp, 1hr opera mini, 1hr friendcaster pro, and many gmail, sms, normal phone calls, I get trough each day with battery from 75% to 20% (I charge it to 75% in the morning).

P/S: I'm on a modded NExtGen v1.4. I removed QXM2SD.apk, RamDumpEnabler.apk, and HTCLocationService.apk :D.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
Some changes in the terms -

Here are some things you should know before you install this ROM:

1. Suggestions are always welcome but I hate requests - You want something so bad, do it yourself or ask HTC. You paid them not me.

2. Custom Roms come without warranty. They are tested before release but something always can go bad. So if you broke your phone or you got fired because the alarm didn't rang - It's not my problem !

3. Don't compare Roms. It is rude and offensive for chefs. If other Rom has what you need, use that Rom.

4. Don't ask for ETAs.. Period !

5. All modders or anyone can make whatever changes they want to NExtGen but release your work as a flashable mod to NExtGen. Don't release another ROM by just changing small stuff here and there.. You do not have my permission to crap on XDA's forum. :D.

Do i have to remove htclocationservice.apk before flashing the rom or after flashing ? And in which folder this apk is?

Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Sorry for late reply. I had a really long day at school :p. Well, QXDM2SD and RamdumpEnabler seem to not have any thing to do. On MasterMInd ROM, or on older OTA version, I don't see them. This is not ROM comparing :D. And after days without them, I found no FC, normally, these stupid system apps would cause some FC if you wandering around Setting without them :D.

And about HTCLocationService, this is where the trade off shows up. You cannot use the "current location" selection in Weather and Clock :(. Over, everything else works normally.

I removed them using TB :D. Very convenient, backup and then remove :D.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateekkej:
