You are probably right. After the headache I had with this flash (not the ROM's fault - I just needed to avoid restoring system data) I think I'll stick to my normal routine of wiping everything, flashing the ROM, flashing a kernel if needed, flashing Gapps, flashing my Titanium backup, and then restoring my user apps and data and only the system data I actually need. Restoring accounts tends to cause problems too. I can add them manually.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
I justvdeleted the nfc apk from the system app folder and rebooted. Worked for me
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
What version of gapps did you flash?

It did that to me and killed the battery in Luke 3 hours when I flashed a gapps build from May 2013. Use the one posted above from March 2013
[HTC Amaze 4G] osbosb:
I was able to install the 5/12 upload of this last night with gapps, however the AOSP keyboard keeps FC'ing.. Anyone seen the same?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
It doesn't really harm anyone its a nice bonus for some time that you may need to use it such as sharing contacts with someone just by touching the phones close to each other and while being on it has no negative/negligible effect on battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
It does when you can't turn it off and the Nfc service eats as much battery as the screen does.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
I think with the latest build that sportstar so graciously worked on even though he doesn't have a device, seems to be as stable as a stock ROM or even better (I think I have had reboots on stock ROMs). Been running this build for a few days now and it does what its designed to do: very good battery life (there will always be complainers, but the ROM does justice in this area), extremely stable, have only noticed soft reboots when Bluetooth connects to my car (and only initially, works perfect after the initial soft reboot, even after turning Bluetooth on and off within the car, so it's really a non issue, I would consider it to be stable), and speed, without over clocking... Because seriously there is no need to overclock this ROM, it's already buttery smooth and fast... And then the same people complain of battery life when they are full throttling their phones on performance governor... Thank you for your time, and I think we may have one of the best and stable builds of cm for legacy devices (yes the amaze is quite old now...). I can't really see much wrong with this ROM anymore, some people will always be picky, but sports hard work and determination really reveals his dedication to this quiet and sometimes unappreciative amaze community. Great work bro; For those of you who can't figure out where developer options are, press the build number in about phone multiple times to enable the developer options; For those having issues with the ROM it's most probably user error, I have summed it up in this small review (and minor brightness issue which is easily fixable with root dim app on play store; don't use mhl, so won't comment on that, I suspect most people have better devices for media setups for this to truly matter).
[HTC Amaze 4G] osbosb:
I'm going to try the 5/18 build and the 20130301gapps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
Nobody is complaining about the battery life on the new build with the gapps package sports designed it with. Only with the gapps packs from may that aren't even available in this thread. The rom with latest update, gapps from March 2013, and no over clock is damn near perfect. This is stable Imo, no bugs besides speakerphone volume that I can report. This build is beautiful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm getting sysui crashes when going from portrait to landscape. And the backlight is an issue.

Battery is still not equivalent to ics with faux kernel. But it's not far behind. I'll go thru a couple more charge cycles before I know for sure.

I've also had several reboots.

Init.d no longer runs at boot either...

I've attached a logcat where I played with the screen brightness. Maybe that will help.

And I've attached the last_kmsg from one of my reboots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
Haven't seen any back light issues nor a single reboot since flashing. This build is pretty awesome, for me anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] taqri85:
+1 on the reboot issue.

Sent from two tin cans and some strings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] olegkievusa:
1. The ROM is great! Very smooth and battery life is not that bad.

2. I have a semi solution to the echo-in-calls issue. If you use Google voice and select "Use Google Voice to make all calls", there is no echo!

3. The issue I have is when there is a Skype call and someone calls to my phone, after I answer the call, people can't hear me anymore on neither Skype nor phone. This doesn't happen on sense roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
if coming from another rom you wipe everything flash rom then gapps :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shabidoo:
I seem to be the only one this has happened to, but the new build worked smoothly for a day. Then it was connecting to my car's Bluetooth and spontaneously started bootlooping. It would just start to launch the ui and bam, reboot.

I went into recovery and tried fixing permissions, but when I rebooted, same deal. I restored my nandroid of the 4/5 build and all is well again. I had not done a full wipe prior to installing 5/18, just cache and dalvik, but I was given to understand a dirty flash was allowed. Maybe not so much?

Also the only setting I had changed was to overclock to 1.8 with a conservative governor.

Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xupthree60:
Your wrong, NFC uses almost no battery. This has been talked about here and in other forums.

Google even weighed in about NFC and said that its absolutely off unless the screen is on. When the screen is on it only accounts for about 0.5% of battery life out of 100%

If you don't EVER use it and it bothers you then you can do whatever you want to make yourself feel better. Me and my wife do bump things to each other on occasion, and I'm educated about it, so I leave it on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
Maybe I am wrong, but I never used the service, and you can't turn it off. There were worse stats, but I didn't bother taking screens, I just Reflashed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] filthygoat223996:
The 1.8 over clock is not stable, did you enable set at boot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shabidoo:
Yeah, I had enabled it at boot. Sounds like I found my culprit. Thanks. I'll reinstall and not be so greedy about clock speed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mr.bobharris:
thanks for 10.1, wanted to move to jb, and i really didnt want to give up my amaze just yet. its such a great phone, its been a real workhorse for me. thing has taken quite the beating and still works like a charm.

was having battery drain issues after installing, but removing nfc.apk from system/app seems to have fixed that. ive never even used nfc so thats a non-issue as far as im concerned.

ive had a few crashes and a couple of reboots but overall 10.1 is more than sufficient for everyday use. its snappy even when underclocked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
YEAH.....overheating on GAMEPLAY/3G
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Turn off your car Bluetooth device, then turn on your phone Bluetooth, then turn on your car Bluetooth and it will pair and work and won't boot loop ( I mentioned about the initial reboots, sorry forgot to mention solution)

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Even though overclocking that high isn't the best idea the cause of your boot loop was Bluetooth not being able to pair with the car and not being able to turn on, even at a lower frequency you will have that issue. Secondly, why over clock that high and put it at conservative? You would have a smoother device under clocking with on demand governor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ashcunak:
that's really weird, mines on, it doesn't even appear on the usage stats for battery usage.... and a blindly went and downloaded latest gapps in a whole 'i dont give a crap mode' and nope no crazy battery usage.. mind you i also flashed over early Aprils build with only wiping cache and dalvik.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
i love this rom great work no issues for me i never use speaker phone so its perfect for me and im still trying to train myself on letting my phone charge while its off cuz i read somewhere that i googled that if you let your phone die then charge while its off you would see an improvement on battery life and i think i see a change too anyways keep up the great work :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
It does if you only charge it once it's 15% or less.

Or just freeze the app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
Lol I don't know anything bout freezing apps so I won't mess with that I use greenify I think it does the same thing idk haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Are you all seeing both cores of the processor running?

I was a watching it today and only saw one run...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
I'll try freezing apps can't hurt nothing I don't think lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I just had sysui crash again. Looked in logcat and it's a qdmemalloc error. Looks like an adjustment to pmem allocations might fix it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Well second core will turn on only when it needs to, if you want it on all the time then there is a setting in system tuner to force both cores to be on at all times, wouldn't suggest it but it's there, just tested it and the second core is working just fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
Wow freezing apps was draining battery fast it went down 10 % in like 2 min lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing.

Previous builds of cm10/10.1 would show both with some activity - mostly on the first core...
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
I sincerely believe from my limited knowledge of physics that, that maybe the weather.

My phone got better when I put it in the fridge for a min but I don't recommend it

Anyone tested hangouts (talk replacement)?

My Michael doesn't work :( Skype is working fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Hangouts? Haven't heard. I like talk...
[HTC Amaze 4G] lifeisfun:
Update Talk and it will change to Hangouts
[HTC Amaze 4G] noakcess:
OK...im blaming it on the LockScreen......

This is by far the bestest battery life on 4.2.2 ....EVER....

Only bug that is constantly flying around and annoying is the soft restart after pressing the power button to wake up.....

I turned off the LockScreen and Ta Da....no soft restart for two hours......

Any ideas.?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
I don't know what's wrong. I wiped rehashed the rom and the march gapps. Turned of data and listened to music on my way to work which is about 45 minutes and I'm down to 85% brightness is all the way down. GPS NFC data WiFi all off
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yes it did... :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
I tried it Yesterday. It didn't work my friend and I couldnt get into a single chat
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sounds normal to me. I have an anker battery, and it does not deplete in a linear way according to the device. First fifteen - twenty percent go fast then it slows its drain rate quite a bit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
That's normal? 15% in less than an hour?
[HTC Amaze 4G] opticalmouse:
Do someone have issues with viber on this rom. After updating to 5/18 I can not receive and make a viber calls.

I hear ya.

For me it is. I can't speak for everyone, of course. Ymmv.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Some apps and games are not guaranteed to work on all ROMs. You would be better off contacting the developer.

Greenify does NOT do the same thing, it hibernates apps quicker so they're not using background processes and therefore battery. Freezing apps makes them behave as if they're not installed, only you can unfreeze them later and resume using it with little hassle.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
Some guy said he gets 10 hours. How many do you get. I get about 5
[HTC Amaze 4G] lifeisfun:
....and? Is your mic working using video calls :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
OK so basically greenify is better thanks man :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm getting about 10 with build.prop tweaks and the proc lowered to ~12xx. I have forced both cores on with system tuner.

I keep wifi and bt on all the time.

Usage for that is admittedly fairly light, though.

I was getting 16-18 hours on a charge with ICS and faux kernel... - for comparison sake. Same usage pattern, but oc'd to 17xx...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
I get around 15 hrs :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
MIC

I haven't tried it with cm10/.1 but it works great on Viper. I'll try it later tonight on cm10/.1 (both)
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
hehehehehehe........

This is so so funny,

At the same time :goog:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
Idk if I'm not the only one experiencing this its not a major issue but sometimes when I reboot lose all my apns sometimes they won't come back unless I do a full wipe and reflash which is no biggie doesn't bother me much now that I know the APN by heart now lol just thought I should let ya know
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
You did this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874269
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I used these specifically:

Saves power
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
pm.sleep_mode=1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

I also tweaked network speeds - which is a common tweak as well.... and it's in that link.

I think Jose shared his proposed build.prop tweaks a few pages back - which included all these too.

I tried supercharging tonight, and got several reboots at first, but it seems to be hanging in there now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
Those look pretty sweet! I'm sure they will screw up bug reports though, right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
Thanks I'll try this. I'm not sure why my battery is draining quick. Maybe its not deep sleeping. I'll try these tweaks though
[HTC Amaze 4G] xupthree60:
did reflashing help? That's really odd, as someone else said its the same with me, it doesn't even show up on my battery stats. Try doing a full wipe or something before flashing if it still is doing it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Since they're build prop edits I would presume so. It's still worth a shot though!
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Lol it worked though! We had a bit of a heat wave in new york nothing bad just really humid. And my phone was heating up so I put it in the fridge.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
My battery so far has been great on the latest release. This is a little misleading though because it's only with about an hour and 10 minutes of screen on and no wifi or BT. I also used Autorun manager to kill a bunch of Google map receivers... basically any of them that had the word friend in them. This is also without any build.prop tweaks.

Great work Sportstar!

[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
How? My battery drains so quick. I use greenify and still it's bad
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Why is the Android system taking up so much battery? Usually the screen takes up so much. Did you use the phone heavily or lightly? What apps did you use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
I don't know why Android system is using so much battery. Here is a screen cap of it. GSAM battery shows the alarm manager wakelock as the biggest resource taker under Android system and System UI as the # 1 process. I think the battery usage in Android System is probably so high because of the alarm manager.

I forgot to mention earlier I'm using an Anker battery.

Justin
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Same here.

Despite being called Alarm Manager, it does not manage the alarms. It's something else, forgot what it was. Auto-starts, I think,

This morning I unplugged my phone, and the charge LED was still on. I rebooted, and it stuck in a bootloop. I had to backup, reflash, and try to restore data. Now my WiFi gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address." I think I have to wipe again and start all over. Frickin' awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hassaan.W:
Me too but i cant leave cause its such an amazing rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Sorry man. This was my first time using CM10.1, I had been using Jellybam. I did a factory reset and formatted everything but sd card before installing and so far its been great... no soft reboots, no bootloops.

If I remember correctly alarm manager is just a place holder wake lock that all of the alarms fall into... so all of the wake locks that Google Maps, Google Now, etc. make are categorized under alarm manager.

Hope you get everything working again soon.

Justin
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Wiped and flashed AGAIN, and my APN settings were not only gone, but they wouldn't save, either. WTF!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
I'm looking for a nexus 4 on eBay. Battery life seems better from what I hear on their boards
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Too bad it's built-in.

Fixed my phone, wiped and restored nandroid, and all is good now. Wheee.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Glad it's working.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
When I go to greenify maps always pops up. Could that be the reason behind my bad battery drain?

Also on better battery stats app on kernel wake vbus_present, battery_daemon are both high percentages. The phone app is also high on partial wake lock
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
yes
[HTC Amaze 4G] jj71787:
Thanks but location sharing is off. Location history is on and report from this device is on. Don't know how to stop it. K thought only location sharing was the only thing that would eat battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Maps eats the battery up pretty bad.. especially if you have Google Now. The 2 things today have worked for me, and I'm getting about 20 -24 hours of battery life on this Rom, are using auto run manager to stop Google map receivers from starting that it doesn't need (anything that starts with the word friend). The other is using the titanium backup widget that creates a shortcut on your home screen and freezes and unthaws whatever app you pick, maps in this case. Good luck

Justin
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Working better

Hey Sports,

Just letting you know that I installed the newest build of CM10.1 and did a clean wipe (like I always do). My sound issues seem to be about gone. I had reported about sound going through the speaker even when i had headphones attached, and that seems to be fixed. I don't know if it's something you did, or maybe I just got a better wipe/flash this time, but it's much better. I've only had it switch once and I was able to restart my music app and it worked fine.

I haven't had any long phone calls so can't speak to the switching back and forth between phone speaker and speakerphone speaker, but I will be talking later to a friend with whom I have had that problem ever since switching to CM10.1 (4/5 build) and will see how it goes.

Thanks for all your work, as well as everyone who has helped on this ROM. It really has breathed new life into my Ruby!
[HTC Amaze 4G] filthygoat223996:
Android system seems to take quite a bit of battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Family life has gotten me behind the ball..

What is the current recommended build? / kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I've been running the newest build (5/18) and had no trouble at all. Using the kernel that comes with the ROM. I am not aware of any custom kernels for JellyBean on the Amaze other than those that are flashed with ROMs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bling_Diggity:
Well damn, I missed a lot too it looks like. Got a lot of catching up to do. Going to try the 5/18 build tomorrow, see what kinda luck I get. Hopefully I won't have to put mine in the refridgerator as well as I live in Florida and it's pushing 90 every day now o.0

I'll also re-flash that Ion test build again and see if I can't get you that logcat & dmesg Sports, that is assuming I again have issues with data and wifi.

EDIT:

Well ****. My phone is TOAST. Again. Ironically, before I was able to flash either of these. Still on the 4/5 build. Sport, my phone will turn on, but the screen itself won't turn on. I can tell it boots up because I can still hear text messages coming through and calls. Problem is, the screen itself will not turn on no matter what. It's not the power button as the buttons all light up (and bleed like mad) when i push it. I've tried getting into bootloader via Power+Vol- and via ADB, but no dice, screen will still not turn on. However, I'm pretty sure when I reboot into fastboot via ADB it works, as typing in "fastboot devices" into command prompt suprisingly came back with my device listed. I can also get to recovery via ADB, but the screen is dead there as well.

If I could find some way to mount the internal SD to my computer and transfer the contents, then I know I could just take the damn thing down to T-Mobile, play dumb like last time and get a new phone in a few days. The problem is, how do I do it without having any touchscreen functionality whatsoever?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Hmm. That has been happening when people usually hit the lock button on the new 4.2 ROMs. But usually it either fixes itself or the phone reboots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bling_Diggity:
Hmm...well 6 hours in and no luck. This is not the same as a SystemUI crash or lockscreen issue. The fact that I cannot even get the bootloader or HTC white loading screen to pop up at all tells me this may in fact be a hardware issue rather than a software one. Considering the phone was sent to me refurbished, I wouldn't be surprised if in fact its an issue with the digitizer. I'm going to try and find a way to mount the internal SD to my laptop and transfer the contents, if I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure at least one version of Hasoon's toolkit has this feature. The ideal situation would be if I could find a way to make a nandroid backup via my laptop. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to Linux but I think I might be able to manually make a backup of all partitions on my phone using the standalone version of Ubuntu I have on my usb stick.

Will report back with results.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That's definitely you LCD or the LCD connector
[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
The only issue I have with this Rom is when I reboot my apns disappear when I add an apn it doesn't add the only way for me to get some back is to reflash :(

I guess this is normal for this build :/
