Hi there, I've been using this ROM for about a week now.

I must say I like it a lot but lawd man it can kill a battery lol

On wifi I'll get maybe 2 hours doing minimum activity (some whatsapp msgs mayeb check FB and answer a few emails., on 4G I get way less. Is there a fix out yet?

I just realised tonight also that video doesn't work.

However the mod is really nice, one the best one I've had for this phone. I know there were a few earlier versions because I got a build from early August that was better on Battery life. Just wondering how far the devs are with this?

Still wanna say thanks though love the work

Focal is one wicked program

I like it.

Got to get it on my galaxy Note Tablet
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Use the latest build... Their is no battery drain with this one on cm 10.2.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Isn't the last build Sept 17? cause that's the one I'm using
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Have you done a clean install, nobody else have reported battery drain since September 17th...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Yep I did, I even installed like twice because I thought I had the wrong build.

So i did a clean upgrade, will try again . thing is I have to have all the stuff download again.

I'm getting about two and a half hours screen on time with screen at full brightness is this normal seems kind of low
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Im not even getting even 2 hours. Im getting about 1hr after I unplug the phone from charger
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Screen on time have always been low with this device, this big screen is taking a lot battery to light up, even on lowest brightness setting.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
+1 On hardly 2 hours battery...

Just on wifi, no data, most of the time airplane mode too..

I personally went back to 4.2.2 for good battery life.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mbze430:
I didn't see any "run away" wakelocks or strange kernel behaviors like the "msm_otg" wakelock...

My daughter's phone has Kik and Facebook... 2 of the major battery drainer... even with Greenify Donate, it can't stop those 2 apps from eating up battery completely. But even she using those 2 apps she get about 3hrs.

The key is looking at the battery drain during the night when you are sleeping. during the day it's all apps and background sync going on. Usually looking at night activities will show you misbehaving apps that are trying to sync all the time.

For example Google Now, Google+... Google Map... etc... nlpwakelock and nlpcollector wakelock. Those are the highest drain direct from Google themselves.

on my daughter's phone I have removed Google+ and Google Map and just about anything that is google, EXCEPT Google Now/Play Store... and that limits the nlpwakelock and nlpcollector wakelocks...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Thinking of going back to 4.2.2 need video camera and Bluetooth. Plus anything to help battery life
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
OK... I have noticed that using these 4.3 ROMs we are missing some stuff

The statusbar does not know when data is being pushes thru the phone... Meaning the arrows in WiFi and mobile data do not show that data is being pushed back and forth even though it is...

This breaks both the network speed indicator and breaks the network speed app that I had but don't use much anymore...

Its just another silly little bug... But... I figure I'd point it out

Out of curiosity I did a little experiment. Recharged my Vivid/Velocity/Holiday (not sure which, really. It is 4G band 7, not an ATT model) fully then stick it in my pocket for the day and left it thre mostly, checking battery usage from time to time. Since it is not my main phone, it had no SIM in, but WiFi was on. running the latest build from Sept. 17, configured to my Gmail/G+ accounts.

Performance settings:

CPU governor: lagfree

Min CPU frequency: 384 MHz

Max CPU frequency: 1836 MHz

Currently, Settings/Battery says:

64% - Not charging

1d14h 31m 56s on battery

Cell standby 87%

Screen 7%

Phone idle 4%

Google services 2%

Wi-Fi 2%

When I put a Sim in and start using it more realistically it goes down a lot faster but will still manage about a day at least.

Not bad, I think.

Update and new screenshot: 3d 2h 23m 23s & 41% ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
I'm sure I saw a build of this that came out on 29th sept, that included bluetooth fix, fix that allow prorams like Magic jac to work and one or two other files:confused:

Great work, thank for keeping this phone alive!

you try wiping data for gallery first? you need to do that...

I tried it but it doesn't fix it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kkruglov:
yeah, video recording not working, clean install..

other things are ok, except bluetooth.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
My findings...

Sweep2Wake still borked... Attempted to turn it on with kernel tuner... Got a reboom...

Bluetooth still borked... Though it no longer cycles repeatedly when turned on...

And.. I am dying to know what the FSYNC toggle in the init.d script toggles.... Anyone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] counterfeit187:
Just updated my girlfriend's vivid to 10/06 build. Wi-Fi won't turn on. It's still s-on. Is there a change in boot.img that I need to update it in fastboot again? It boots fine just no wifi.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
File sync
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Always flash boot.IMG from the latest build for this device, s-on means nothing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I knew that...

Is it screen off file sync similar to what gave all the problems with sultans kernel a while back... Or something different?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] counterfeit187:
Yep, as I figured. That fixed it. 4g connection is a bit wonky. Dropping in and out. This was a problem with my gs3 also on builds after 9/24, supposedly will be fixed in tomorrow build. May want to look into that. Something to do with APNs I believe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
damn. sucks billibox has been kinda absent so i dont have a tester. It has to be something stupid simple
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BenFFMRaptor23:
Very great work albinoman887 thank you, rom its stable and have good smooth.

Video recording has makes no action is this a older issue?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Can anybody confirm if the GPS has been fixed? I went back to PAC 4.3, just for the love, but if CM 4.3 has the GPS issue fixed, I'll go back! I'm talking about the issue where you have to shut off GPS, reboot, re-enable GPS, for programs like facebook or weather/cLock to get a location. :confused:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CutterSlade001:
Nope I am running it but I was wondering if there was a fix for my bluetooth stuttering, came here and am now wondering were I got it from. Seems to me goo.im got albinoman887 repos mixed up or something.

Edit: Oh F*** I'm in the wrong forum I have a Sensation Sorry.

Can you guys try this kernel and see if bluetooth works?

It's TeamHydra's kernel with a patch for bluetooth.

hey man. thanks for following this thread. What did you apply there exactly? BT worked on 10.1 fine BTW

I thought it was the same problem that I had with shooteru. I modified board-hollyday-rfkill.c to be like shooter/pyramid.

I guess is not the same problem that I had.

Hell yeah! That's great, progress should be much easier once you're able to build and test results on your own
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Yep that will be great was just about to get another rom but seeing you'll try a thing on the weekend I'll try to wait. It's not soo much the bluetooth plus the fact that I can't use Magic jack on the phone cause the sound is terrible but the mic, persons telling me that I sound muffled like I'm under water, so trying to figure out why that is happening

thanks

G
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Awesome, this should hopefully make it a bit easier for you to work with and more enjoyable as well since you can actually experience the results.

The muffled mic issue won't be going away unfortunately. I'm assuming you haven't been on the Vivid forum for long, but these mic issues have been worked on pretty extensively to get it to the point where it works as well as it does now, and apart from Sense 3.6 the Vivid will probably continue to be plagued with this issue for the rest of its lifetime. No need cluttering up this thread with any more discussion of a beaten-to-death topic.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
new build...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
The reason why I'm saying something about the sound is because it wasn't like this in previous build. I am thankful for your work with this rom however, it's always good.

thanks

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
ok really really dumb but i got a vivid and i am flashing my own rom and i get it to boot cm but as soon as I tap the screen it freezes. quick question. the sensation needed a "firmware" update (yeah firmware not rom) in order to use ICS or JB roms. if it wasnt this kind of thing happened. did you guys have to do that at all?

it also sits at the htc splash for a min before it boots. i dont think this is normal either is it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rassawyer:
Hey man, thanks for all your hard work, can't wait to see what you'll be able to do now that you actually have the device!!!

I can't speak for certain on the firmware update, mine shipped with ICS. In all my time with this device (2+ years) I never heard of a diff firmware tho. What was it on before? Also, the htc splash usually only show for a couple seconds for me. Just for curiousity sake, are you s-on or off? And what recovery are you using, and which H-boot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] switchy85:
I seem to recall needing to update the hboot for ICS ROMs. Should be in one of the stickies, but I haven't looked there in quite a while.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rassawyer:
this thread has the info on the new hboot, etc for ics and above.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

HBOOT 1.85.0023 and below = Gingerbread

HBOOT 1.85.0025 and above = Ice Cream Sandwich

and this site has H-boot downloads and flashing instructions

http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
OK...

My phone sticks at the splash screen for about 30 to 45 seconds... I did change the splash screen... I hated the white one...

Second... You wanna be on hboot 1.85.2525... That's the hacked s-off hboot...

You know... So you don't have to fastboot the boot.img ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vetdoctor:
To be perfectly clear, you need the hacked Hboot IF you want S-off. His problem sounds like he may have not properly loaded the boot.img so back to the original question, " are you S-off or S-on ? "
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I wouldn't recommend s-off for this device. Flashing the boot.img separately through fastboot is the safest way
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I never had any problem flashing anything with s-off...

I blame those that did on user error...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vetdoctor:
10/10 build s- on

No only does the video and Bluetooth not work but the Wi-Fi won't turn on. Same issue in the 10/6 build but works fine in the current build (August? )
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NWinfuse:
Yeah, it's the same thing, you just need to update the firmware/hboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Not saying problems flashing... just saying the safest way for the device is to flash it via fastboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vetdoctor:
Especially for a noob like me it's safer to keep S-on and prevent bricking the phone. Also it forces me to understand the process and terms better. So says I, everyone should learn to use the abd commands.

Ya I had to run the RUU for ICS to get the updated hboot. Fixed all the camera issues just struggling with bluetooth

OK... Bluetooth works.. But I can't get it to pair with the stereo in my work truck...

Even though the passkeys match... Its telling me that they don't... Anyone successfully paired anything yet?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
Got my bluetooth to pair with my MAC, now to get it paired with my car.

The video camera is working as well so thanks for that too.

I think maybe some the battery issues I've been having were attributable to the fact that I needed to clean off both storage drives (internal and external) and have the file transferred back unto them. So far I've only done one will try to do the other today. Cause I've been having really bad bad battery drain like I can't even leave the phone sitting for two hours without losing half the power.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
I can pair it with my galaxy tab, but it says connected then it goes away and when I click it reconnects so it don't stay connected, but it might be a problem with my tablet's Bluetooth.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gevans01:
audio skipping

I've also had that problem is all 10.1 - 10.2 roms....the only rom that works without skipping is slimbeam. But slimbeam doesn't let you have access to the SD when connected to USB. Even if you set MTP it still doesn't give you access to SD, only to the internal memory. The only why you can access the external SD is thru recovery and selecting the external SD. (just FYI)

Does anyone knows if whether 10.2 2013 unofficial-holiday have the same skip problem for audio or access to external SD?

Screen auto-rotate is broken in the unofficial build.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kkruglov:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Decided to Wipe, and install the following below.

After testing around, GPS is still not working. I can confirm that it works in Google Maps, and NOT for cLock, or Facebook, etc, etc. I've checked Location Access settings, set share with all, but even if you add the GPS toggle, you cannot toggle it.

In PAC 4.3, you can set GPS on/off in the Settings menu, just below the Wifi toggle, turn the GPS off, reboot, re-enable GPS, and it works with everything. In this current, 10/13, I cannot find GPS off in the Settings, the toggle doesn't work, and no location is found in programs.

I'll post more of my findings in the next day as today is Day 1. :eek: Hope my comments help people...I think I'm going to look into the gps.conf... not sure what I'm looking for, but maybe I'll compare it to the 4.2.2 where it was working....

Unofficial 10-13 release thoughts...initial

18 hours later after install, Kudos to Albinoman887 to another good build. The dealbreaker for me (bluetooth) was solved, and I can live with the auto-rotate being borked. I noted issues with mobile data being inconsistent and low in strength. Here's my question on that:

Would a RIL and radio update help here or work? I've not seen one specifically for the Vivid/Raider/Velocity at all and I'm kind of leery (understated) about flashing an update that could brick the crap outta my phone...

No major crashes, no real bugs beyond the autorotation and low data reception issues. In short this is a quick, responsive ROM that is well on it's way to being a mature and stable ROM. The google map issues BTW if you force GPU rendering in Developer options, the google maps bug is far less annoying and you really don't have to install the older version. GPS appears to be working well enough, but the apps I use seem to use google maps as a source anyway

Great Job again Albinoman!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Interesting... I have found that not forcing anything in developer options leads to the best Maps v7+ experience...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Just noticed the unofficial build is android 4.3.1! Awesome!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rassawyer:
I used the unofficial ROM yesterday. Things I noticed: WiFi turns on and off fine, but wouldn't connect even when I was right next to the router. It'll show excellent signal strength, then when it goes to connect the signal strength drops to poor, it tries for awhile then gives up and the signal indicator goes back to showing excellent.

Mobile data is weak/intermittent.

Whenever I downloaded an app, it started rebooting. This one is strange. I was on the phone with my gf, downloaded ROM toolbox, seconds after it installed the phone froze, then rebooted. Took the sim out ant put it in another phone so I could continue the phone call and it stopped rebooting. Put the sim back in and it rebooted about a minute after powering on, chronically. Uninstalled ROM toolbox and it quit rebooting. Installed titanium backup and it started rebooting again. No clue what the connection is, just documenting everything I observed. Thanks a million [MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION]!!! This is well on it's way to being a STELLAR ROM!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wolfhawke:
Given the nature of the CM-10.2/4.3 beast, I'm happy that maps works period...but forcing the GPU to render does take a lot of the squirrelly graphics down to something usable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vetdoctor:
Just downloaded and installed the unofficial version after wiping cache and davlik. As with the 10/10 version my Wi-Fi doesn't work. This time the Wi-Fi tab moves to the right and says" on" but stays greyed out. Bluetooth is active though :) in-laws try that tomorrow.

lol the build on my server? i never tested it... BT works? wtf lol

Always flash the boot.img for this device.

Sorry, but albinoman please write it this way on the OP. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wolfhawke:
Apparently so...Isn't it neat when something leaks out in the community and it turns out to be great!

I really wish I could do more than be a "wait and see tester" with your ROMS Albinoman, but no job=no money...

That being said, 2 days later,...AT&T network connectivity on HSDPA+ is dodgy, sometimes not connecting inside the house and bouncing between 3G and HSDPA, LTE is not much better and fries the battery like no time (which is why I started turning it off as of CM10.1). Something I didn't have on 10.1 AOSP/PACman.

GPS - works and good to within 2-30m, which is good enough for me.

Bluetooth using Plantronics Voyager Pro - Clear as a bell, and no static. Have not tried streaming music. Sometimes a little picky about connecting, but I can walk in/out of range of the phone w/o too many problems.

Battery Life - about average for a CM10.X running on Vivid which is notorious for crappy battery life. I can leave it on 3g/HSDPA, keep bluetooth connected and be away from the charger for about 4-5 hrs before I hit 10%. I don't sync anything unless I'm plugged in and on wi-fi... Won't be able to get a real average for another week of usage.

Will test drive the official version this morning as soon as I can backup and download!
