Thanks to all so far for the replies. I have added the list of available Hermes roms to my first post. I did this after creating a Poll that was quite limited. Does anyone know how to change the Poll once it was created?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] weinson:
For me, 1.40 is more stable than 1.41 ... on 1.41 in (oakland, ca) I was having dropped calls on the transistion from 3G to GSM ... my perception is that 1.40 handles the transistion better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] krisg0:
1.40, I went almost two full days and only dropped to 30%. Im active with email/txt and light web browsing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edwinyuen:
CUSTEL had written that he had gotten the best life from 1.34. I went to that from 1.41 and the battery life is much better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
it helps if you list all of the radios in the poll..... 1.34
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I updated from the 140 to the 141 radio and I do not notice any difference in battery life but I do notice that I have better reception and places that I would drop calls at now I do not lose any. .... I do not know if it is a radio issue or not but my Wi-Fi takes forever, as when I was running the 140 it was fine, I have changed 3 roms times while running the 140 and 2 times with the 141 and noticed the Wi-Fi problem with 141 and running 2.5 but I never use it and have an unlimited plan with cingular so it does not matter to me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] audiofx81:
tons of issues on 1.41 for me. I had 1.40 but i guess i d/led one of the wrong custom rom packages and jsut checked and i got 1.41. Sigal cuts in an out horribly. And my net connections always drops. modem disconnected errors on connecting, Going back to 1.40 to ensure that was the root of my problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] monkey28rb:
no issues here so far on 1.41.. when loading a radio on put the radio on 1st then put your new OS on there it makes it work better;)

this poll sucks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fone_fanatic:
hahaha, actually this thread might be the first good thing (in my perspective) that a noobs done since they stopped peeing against the wind.

I first started noticing dropped calls on 1.40.30, so i'm just enjoying this. People are giving 1.41 the royal blessing and others are bashing it to hell. I'm about to update to 1.41 to see if it helps me out. If it doesn't get my royal blessing then i'm going back to 1.38

No ofense TBCOMP! you may not be a noob, but its a noobish post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
Hehehe. @custel

I want to change my vote! I voated 1.41, but i'm reverting back to 1.40. or even 1.38.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lidberg:
You don't have 1.34 on your list, but that's what I'm using. I've been using it since day one. Don't fix what ain't broke, I always say.

I used push-mail with WM5 and had ****ty battery life (around 30-40% at the end of the day), but if I don't use push-mail (and I'm using WM6 - Custel 1.2), I am still at 90% by the end of the workday.

Cingular User & 1.41

I've been using 1.41 since it was first posted on this site and I haven't had a single problem. Calls are clear, never dropped, Internet / downloads are fast and stable.

I think the problems people are having involve the locations they're using their phones. I'm in Philadelphia PA and this city and surrounding area is wired for Cingular 3G.

http://www.cingular.com/coverageviewer/

Maybe the newer radio is for newly wired areas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ixian:
1.40.30 for me in the Austin, TX area. 1.38 just plain sucked for battery life - I don't think you'll find anyone here who had a good experience with that one and battery. 1.40.30 was a dramatic improvement.

1.41 had more of a problem holding a connection for me in NW Austin. YMMV.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TBCompDesign:
Thanks for the great and constructive feedback. If you had read from the beginning, (I've since added to the first post though) I listed only the radio roms that are in the poll, I then found the full listing of the roms that are available for the hermes devices. I also posted, for anyone to answer, how to modify the items in the poll as it is not blaringly obvious to me. I'd be more than happy to add all of the radios to the poll but can't quite figure out how... Thanks.

I apologize and feel bad for feeling like this post is harsh, but if I hadn't seen your name above the post, and recognized your sig, I'd have thought that came from someone who just stumbled upon the boards, Not from the one who's ROM I am currently running.

May be a noobish post, but to aggregate everyone's different opinions on the topic from all of the existing threads is not easy. It makes it even harder when the questions asked/ statements about the topic are usually burried on page 44 of a rom posting thread are sometimes hard to get back to. I didn't state in my first post, I'd be willing to try the ones that people suggest as I have to try to find the time to flash. let alone get stuck with a bad radio rom for a few days in a row if I can't get back to flashing it sometime soon.

Now, does anyone know how to change the poll options once the poll has been created?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
I think a lot of it is not only your carrier but your location. I'm on Cingular.

Also, I'm in SoCal and drive from Riverside to LA as my commute, and am often on the phone for much of that. 1.38 had a couple dead spots and often I couldn't make any calls from the office, 1.41 had issues handing off while in the call along the 71 and 60 freeways. So, I'm on 1.40.

Hand off, calls from the office, and data are all better than the 1.38. After a few days of hand-off issues on 1.41, I went back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diaftia:
1.41 and my battery life is crazy. After having it on all day yesterday and not using it at all, I was still registering 100% battery. Standby life seems MUCH improved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joedoe:
LOL. I'm easily making 3 days without recharge with 1.38 and Bluetooth always on!

Bad reception with 1.41 with Cing8525 and Black 2.5

I found 1.41 to be consistently weaker in reception than 1.40 so I reverted back to 1.40.I'm currently using my Cing8525 in Asia.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] armedmetallica:
3g is better on the 1.40 than 1.41. The former pulls 3g signal over gsm, even if 3g is a little "weaker". the latter, CAN get 3g signal if FORCED into WCDMA out of settings or a tool like BandSwitch (Daniel herrero's).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Nghiem:
I don't see or feel any improvement among 3 radio stacks, except w/ 1.41 I experience some freeze. I'm in Nothern VA where signals is mixing of G, E, 3G, and H. BTW, I'm on pure Black 2.5 and 1.38 now.

Don't know why ppl have incredible batt life (2-3days w/o charge) Mine drops to 40% after 4 hours if I'm in H coverage, after 30 mins. call, IM+ online, 2hrs auto check mail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rugby:
I tried 1.41 and had numerous dropped calls in Indianapolis on my TyTN on Cingular. I switched to 1.40 and haven't dropped a call in 2 days.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] peezy:
I am using 1.40 in Los Angeles/Long Beach are works great. No dropped calls
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edwinyuen:
I'm still stunned that no one even asked about the post that Custel made, stating that the 1.34 radio had the best battery (or even allowed it in the poll). Just because it's not in one of the newer Radio installers EXEs doesn't mean it doesn't exist (or isn't listed as a available Radio ROM in the Wiki).

Radio 1.38 on Cingular 8525

Here in Baltimore, Md, using Black 2.0 I flashed the r 1.41 radio and immediately lost 2 bars of signal strength; over the next few days got a weaker signal so flashed back to 1.38. I did not eval battery life since the signal is the important point for me.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Zzan:
1.40.30.00 was very good for me. I am now on the 1.48.00.00 and have no issues with it. Haven't noticed much difference from 1.40.30.00 between 1.48.00.00 either so take your pick. Which ever works the best in your area.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
1.48 has my vote... 2nd on my list would be 1.40
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wreckerdude:
I went from 1.40 to 1.48. I haven't had any issue's with either. The only thing about 1.48 seems to be the volume isn't as loud as it was in 1.40.

I'm in SW Florida with no 3G as of yet. No connection issues with either one? I really think it depends on your area as to which radio rom works best.

:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rainydaze:
I had the best battery with 1.35. I am now on 1.48 and battery life is not as good but I have had no other issues. I should mention I am in an area with Edge only, no 3G

Best radio

Best radio for me in South Florida 1.48
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jomo25:
I installed 1.48.00 last week and had it on my phone for a few days. Yesterday, I decided to go back to 1.38.30. It was what I had previously. I found it to be the most stable. Since going to 1.48.00, i've had about 1 S.O.D. type incident happen per day. I'm not sure if it was related to the new radio, but it curiously started happening about the same time as I installed it. I'm in AZ.

I've since also installed the new 6-button HTC home, but I know for fact I had one S.O.D. incident between the time I installed 1.48.00 and the 6-button HTC home.

Also, I did notice that my battery was draining a little more quickly since also. And I didn't notice any appreciable improvements related to 1.48.00.

So, I've gone back, and will evaluate since now I still have the 6-button HTC home, but with the old radio. No other new progs installed.

I'll post my experience. Not that it means others will see the same. But it's food for thought, I guess...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Newb-Tech-Realtor:
Best is 1.48 in Memphis with 3G.

No dropped calls on my end, great clarity and best battery. I can no get through a whole day (100 emails and perhaps 2-2.5 hours on the phone) with SOME charge until I can plug it in.

Running it with Black Satin.

2nd best with 1.40 but still died halfway through the day.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zeek112:
Best for me in South Florida, NC, SC, and PA have all been 1.48
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
Well, I've tried each new one that comes out, starting with the 1.38

When 1.48 was released, I was thrilled.... Until running it for a couple weeks.

I drive around southern CA a lot, my commute is like 70 miles in the LA corridor, not to mention other trips... I was having more dropped calls and tower handoff issues with 1.48 than I could take.

Back on 1.40 now, and reception is better, no dropped calls since yesterday (would've been about 3 with the 1.48) and I've not lost calls due to tower hand off problems (on a call, full signal, lose signal, phone goes searching, get full signal back 20-30 seconds later) 1.40 just doesn't do that to me like 1.48 does.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ZzFDKzZ:
The best one for me has been the 1.43.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
At first I had high hopes for the Official AT&T 1.48 Radio hoping that it was tuned for us Cingular folks.....

Once again I am disappointed. I and my clients have all commented on the fact that the people on the other end of the phone call have complained about the voice quality and I’ve had considerable more missed call since this update.

I learned this back with my Blue Angel, no change with the Wizard and still no change for me with the Hermes here in South Florida with Cingular… later is seldom better.

Just my findings, take it for what you want.

1.40

Im still on 1.40 with...Black 2.5(gasp)...yes I know, but its been working so well...I am tempted by VP3Gs latest rom though.. anyhow...1.40 seems really good for the people I talk to...my Dad is hard of hearing with hearing aids and he can hear me typing and other background noise very well...kinda freaky...but it does seem to have kinda low volume on my end... I stay on HSPDA almost all the time no matter what part of town Im in...(Jacksonville,FL) so I cant complain about that..before 1.40 it used to go to Edge about 30 percent of the time....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anothersmith:
DP, what radio rom are you running?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
Says right in his sig, LOL

I actually had the exact question in my head. Then read the sig, saw 1.48, and just figured despite it's problems, he stayed with it for some reason.

What say you DP?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:

Changing the radio

Hello everyone,

After all of your posts I think I need to change my radio. I am using 1.48 and from 8am to 1pm takes me to 70% I don't think it'll go the distance. So how do I change the radio and could someone point me to the information.

Hi, I currently am using 2.10 Olipro HardSPL with Radio 1.48 however according to this thread i would like to downgrade to 1.40, however it says i need to have SPL 1.11. How would i go about downgrading this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mexican-bum:
Your fine with HardSpl just download the the radio only rom for 1.40, extract both items into a folder and click rom upgrade and follow the instructions.

1.40.30.00 can be found here(this radio works in my area much better than 1.48)

Hello guys. Now that the battery is not removable I would like to ask you guys how do you guys take care of battery so it has longest lifespan as possible? I know that keeping it away from heat is a good thing but how about charging? My self I am always wait untill the battery hits around 15% of juice. Do you guys let it go zero and a full charge?

Just want some tips :)

I read somewhere that the cells gets damaged when dropping to zero always
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novakingwai:
You can google it yourself. I did once. Found a website, it was something like "Battery Charging 101." I read that site for about 3 hours and different topics on different batteries. Basically nobody knows the real answer, and everyone is making up stuff.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
The batteries do get damaged when they really go to zero but when it says zero on your phone it's not really zero battery voltage. Just like 100% is not 100% all the time. it depends how the battery is currently calibrated.

You know everybody is not "making this stuff up" either... that's retarded . http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lavanoid:
As the title says, would it be possible to compile Android 4.2.2 for the Nexus 7 (2013)?

It seems that I can't download drivers from the Nexus drivers page that are compatible with 4.2, as the device was originally released with Android 4.3, meaning that Google didn't have a need to make 4.2 drivers for the device.

You're probably wondering why I want an older version of the OS (4.2) instead of something newer... Well, the reason is simple - less restrictions. Ever since the introduction of Android 4.3, security has been a right pain in the behind. Permissions were set on specific user mount points (i.e. /mnt/sdcard, /media etc), meaning that root applications that are no longer in development (such as Network Spoofer) are rendered useless because they fail to operate. Not only are mount points an issue, but superuser has been too! Sure, I could just keep using Super SU's daemon solution which is used in 4.3+>, but I just prefer to use the ClockworkMod Superuser application instead - although that too works on 4.3+ (sometimes... xD).

I don't want restrictions on my mounts, which breaks apps and I don't like the idea of a daemon handling requests (I don't know why I don't like it - I just don't. Probably an OCD thing, I dunno). Android 4.2 was always my "sweet spot" as it never failed on me when I owned the original Nexus 7 (2012) - which is broken now (it wouldn't always boot and would go into some odd flash mode. It didn't always charge and it just kept having various problems. I ended up throwing it - smashing the screen. I wouldn't recommend replacing the LCD either - quality replacement parts aren't easy to find).

So, simply put - anyone have any advice for compiling 4.2 for this tablet? I have no idea where to begin. Neither am I bothered about the "webview exploit" what 4.2 is vulnerable to.

Thanks in advance! ;)

Thanks a lot for the widget, it really looks nice, I just have a question, is it possible to display the updates time (lower right corner) using am pm time format not the 24 hours time format

Your welcome :).. no i dont find any am pm function for update time. if i fond i will add it soon.

(Edit)

i search for that but did not find it.. sorry
[Android Apps and Games] Ahmedivx:
I have just one more question if I may ask, I saw that the weather info source is accuweather, does this widget require the stock weather widget and unified daemon (specially the daemon to be installed and running), or can I uninstall them ?
[Android Apps and Games] -Aatif-:
for this Xwidget ? no . but for Samsung Weather widget you need the Daemon and Stock weather apk. but for this widget you need only Xwidget

Great, I'm using this widget right now with Xwidget, I have already deleted the stock widget and unified daemon since no need for them now :), keep up the good work :)
