Questions about battery and update

Great job. But I have questions, hope somebody can help out:

1. Is there any possiblity that battery issue is related with OTA? If the OTA problem's been fixed, how about the battery usage? Can any body confirm?

2. I'm on a RAv 1.2.1 if I flash this image without wipe, can I have the apps and settings remain the same?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
My 32A also does it - you might want to update the first post to tell everybody to do it.

I'm no programmer, but might it have something to do with changing the Model Number to "T-Mobile myTouch 3G" to get around the Market Enabler thing?

The fix works fine for me too - I'm glad I was checking in on this thread, otherwise I might not have noticed until my bill arrived! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
cycydevil: Battery issue seems to be fixed with the OTA fix :). I flashed this over RAv 1.2.1 with no problems other than the Gmail issue, but I also get that when I wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paraniodandroid:
Did you do the adb procedure as well as update.zip or just the adb?

I have 32A as well and only did the adb thing. Once I configured APN the 3g arrows lit all the time and I decided to remove APN again after 30 seconds or so. I could not locate the update menu item with the overview of OTA update. I guess it was in the "About Phone" section.

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Some updates regarding the Gmail issues. I've done a logcat and noticed that the following keeps appearing.

I'm thinking this could be why I take so long before I get notified of a new mail, as compared to last time? Also, with regards to the Gmail notifications, I noticed the following:

Suppose I have no unread mail, if I receive new email, I will get the following:

Notice the getAttention is set to true. This is where it gets different.

[Scenario 1]

I either clear my notifications, or leave it alone (that is, I do not enter/launch Gmail app). Upon receiving another new email, I will get the following:

For some reason, getAttention is now false.

[Scenario 2]

I receive a new email, and launch Gmail. It does not matter if the email is read or not. The main thing is that Gmail was launched.

getAttention is set to false somewhere, but is finally set to true, thus I am able to receive another notification.

Also, I'd like to point out that throughout the whole logcat, I keep getting a lot of:

:( "value" changes but the rest remains the same.

I've uploaded some logcats in which I've only left the Gmail lines.

Update: Found some info at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3383. Have done the steps many times but to no avail :(. Notifications just stop unless I open Gmail.

Update #2: I just Nandroid-ed back to RAv 1.2.1, and noticed that the above "issue/bug" with Gmail notifications seems to be the default! Strange that I never did notice. Can someone please confirm it as well?

Update #3: Confirmed. Same behaviour on various ROMs. Posted it to Google. Might be a "feature" :\. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4190

quite stable except for SU permission... all seem to freeze.. sigh..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
limkoksoon: if you read the earlier posts you'll see that the fix for the SU is to enable "USB Debugging".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
Not on all phones because I enabled my USB Debugging and SU still freezes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr3G:
I had the issue with wifi tether, when su screen would pop up it would be all black? I DL Taskiller and killed wifi tether and restarted it. Even with USB debugging checked off, it still wouldn't show su "always allow", so I reinstalled all binaries and it did the trick? One thing that I noticed is that my DL'ed apps do not show up on my list of apps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seles:
hey, 32B here. I'm getting acore force close every time i turn on the phone, so practically i can't use this rom. Anyone else has the same issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
I am on Rogers in Canada, with a 32A... I got the notification that I had a 20 Mb 1.6 update available and also found that your 1.6.1 update was causing a significant battery drain. After I applied the SystemUpdater.apk fix (just renamed them to *.old) I stopped getting the notification and my battery usage is back to what it was with 1.2.1. Still had nearly 100% after sitting idle overnight and 18 hours later still have 75%.

Thanks for the quick response to this issue!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Works fine for me. Do you have something else on top of the 1.6.1 ROM? Did you try and theme the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Stopping the OTA cycle resolved the battery issue for me. Luckily I am on a 6 Gb data plan so the traffic was not a $ issue.

Many people seem to have been able to flash without a wipe over 1.2.1. I could not get it to work... depending on the scenario I got continuous force closes or boot loops. Wiping worked perfectly. I would suggest a nandroid backup and then try and see if you are one of lucky ones. If not, do a root backup to save your apps, and wipe before flashing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Try doing a wipe/factory reset before flashing the ROM. That did the trick for me. Even with deleting userdata I could not get it to boot properly. I suspect some combination of app/setting/usage leaves some phones in a unstable state after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seles:
I did wipe before flashing..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparky.exe:
It's hard to tell about the battery usage. I get the feeling that the bulk of the battery usage going to "Display" might just be what actually happens on a mobile device. If you think about it when ever you're using the phone the screen is on plus it's touch screen so its doing that extra stuff too.

As for updating, everything will remain the same if you're going from 1.2.1->1.6.1. (Uninstall AdvancedLauncher first, it kept force closing for me and i couldn't do anything....nandroid backup ftw :) )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
1. fc issues etc => WIPE!!! :p (or at least clean your dalvik-cache!)

2. Be sure that the apps you have installed are 1.6 compatible!!

(I think I'll put a format DATA in the next update script...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
no format data please- people can wipe themselves if they have issues. Maybe put a format /data/dalvik-cache if thats at all possible....???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
@Amon_Ra

I was just wondering one of my Friends wants to get on a Donut build after his long road of not so stable Hero builds and I figured instead of going through the whole process of Cyanogens Donut or running through all these other Unstable Donut builds I would give this a shot, since i tried it out on my MT3G and it seemed pretty darn good

do you think this will work correctly on the G1?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I meant it as a joke :D Yes, I can put a delete /data/dalvik-cache :)

This will NOT work on a G1!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bridgemill:
Seems good, must try! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagnusM:
Thank you for the information!

I saw that the one from MyTouch3G is created by HTC as well. So how possible is it to extract the one from the Daldroid build?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
nice looking rom- have been playing around with it for the last hour or so just getting certain things to boot.....

I have been able to pop cyanogen's launcher.apk into it and it is working nicely- 5 homes screens, extra apps in the drawer (mind you when the new modified launcher gets released tomorrow i will drop that in instead)..... themes coming soon- got my eye on my 2 favourites- manup blue (with a few things i prefer), hero with a few of my own preferences, and palm pre. Any requests?

now to get the lockscreen to boot.... gotta love the 1.1.2 recovery ... never having to worry as you can always nandroid back later.....

***edit*** got changed statusbar.xml to boot....now for services.jar

***edit2** no luck with services.jar. Dueto the fact that this rom is set up with .odex files it is unmoddable is some areas- eg. not able to mod the clock colour yet, the network name, etc... hopefully later.

Not sure if it possible or if it makes much difference ot he phone but can this be setup with services.jar with classes.dex inside rather than services.jar with no classes.dex and a services.odex instead?

Hej jag kan hjälpa dig. Vad behöver du hjälp med?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _j0nas_:
Well i like this light and fast running rom but there where TOO big flaws.

The lack of HTC sync witch i relay like because i add and remove a lot of contact's in outlook and it's a ****ing hasard to sync whit outlook whitout HTC sync.

And the the mailapp sucked i have around 50k of mails dating back to 2005 and i receive ~100mail a day and i have ~20-25 folders whit subfolders and thay all got downloaded and i didn't have ANY way to select what folders to sync. It just started to download and sync everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
can you please post steps to get the 5 home screens? I tried this from dream thread -- download and take the 2 files "launcher.apk and launher.odex" and copy them to the root of your sdcard. then open terminal and type the commands..

Can you please post the steps taken to add 5 home screens, i tried this and didnt work. Thanks.

su [enter]

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [enter]

cd /sdcard/ [enter]

MontAlbert: who's releasing a modified launcher tomorrow?

It will be good if this Rom has the modified launcher by default.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
didn't do it like that- did it in the update.zip and then resigned it.

I added the launcher.apk from cyanogen's build and deleted the launcher.odex.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] star1977:
does this version support flash in the browser?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Do you use Stericson method to re-sign your zip? Do un-zip the update file, add launcher.apk and delete the org. launcher.odex. do i replace it with new one? i added files to an unzipped update, rezipped it and signed it using method by stericson and got a cant find update script error.?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] star1977:
thanks.

btw, the cpu speed for this rom is set to max?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
I was able to do it by extracting Cyanogen's Launcher.apk, and doing the following commands:

Hope it helps :). No re-signing or update.zip needed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freg

528000

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

384000

So max should be 528, min is 384.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elinsa:
Is it possible to push Swedish dictionary/T9 into this one maybe?

If so, any tip on how would be good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elinsa:
Two things that could be better in this ROM, not sure if it's possible without putting in too much HTC crap.

1; The dialer

2; (H)SDPA Icon, not really a problem. Just a "meh" thing that can buggs the crap out of you sometimes.

Overall, great work!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elinsa:
Surely helps a bit, but that one uses the LatinIME keyboard which I think kind of sucks.

I rather use the keyboard that is inside this ROM, but with a Swedish T9 Dictionary.

Thanx for the quick answer
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
I have wiped many times and re-installed the ROM and did the patch, but the onboard terminal that came with in the Dev Tools refuses to work. I tried another and that is working so far.

Has anyone noticed though even after killing all background apps etc, they just keep turning back on??

I'm also noticing a fast battery drain.

Alarm, Messaging, Calendar, Gmail keep coming back on even after killing them several times, I also have sync off, gps off, wireless off, and still seems to be a fast battery drain and the background apps keep appearing.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Those are system apps, it's normal that they come back...

I need to compile a kernel that runs on a lower frequency and tune some other things too... in the mean time you could install setcpu and clock the cpu a bit down.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
I just did the adb thing - I hate waiting for my phone to re/boot! :D

It worked straight away for me, and there's no more "check for updates" option in the About Phone setting.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
So, after 2 full days for using this rom, I have no issues, MT3G here. Everything seems to be working perfectly. Rom is FAST AS H**L. Zero battery issues here. Battery statistics show 14h 52m since unplugged and I have 60% battery life left. Granted I didn't make too many phone calls today, but 8 hours of that was with bluetooth on, wifi on, gps on. Also I have touchdown activated with my company and I get A LOT of email all day. I sent about 30 emails, 5 of which had picture attachements. Then there's my personal email with Gmail and lets not even get on the SMS topic! Hmmm, I think you get the point. Those of you suffering battery issues, what are you running all day?

P.S. This is, of course, after the update patch was applied.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
1 - You need Better Terminal Emulator.

2 - Any app that is designed to run in the background, i.e. Gmail, will start back up automatically. How else would you get your email? If you want it off, turn off sync in settings.

3 - Battery drain is beyond me, I dont have the problem. Are you surfing a lot on the browser?

4 - What app are you using to shut down those apps? I dont have all of that running in the background except right after a reboot. I use Advanced Task Manager and shut them all down. Only 4 things I expect to be running come back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
I downloaded Better Terminal and that seems to be working ok.

Should calendar and alarm come back on when I have Sync off? To kill the apps Ive been using Task Killer (Free version) and Task Panel.

I will do a more efficient battery test over the weekend, when I can leave it for days without charging as I'll be home this weekend but through the week I have to charge it every night just to be on the safe side.

I do not surf the web a lot, I do not do much actually on the phone as I'd like to, being at work and in class all day. I'll see how the battery does over the weekend.

Thanks for the response and I'll check out the CPU app thing mentioned.

Have been using this version for a couple of days now.

Had a problem with battery drainage at first. Applied OTA fix and checked my battery statistics, to find that "Wlan - On" now used most of my time. My solution is to simply turn off wifi while not using it (widgets are useful) and I have no battery problems what so ever.

Must say that this is the fastes rom I have used so far. Really pleased and for the first time since a got my phone I didn't have to manually enter my APN settings.

Great work Amon_RA!

Hi Amon_RA,

I've noticed a problem with the apns-conf.xml that you package in your Roms. There are some apns that do not have a MCC & MNC specified in the settings and as far as I understand any apn without them is invalid. The apns with missing values are: Rogers MMS, Fido, Fido MMS and ICE Celular.

Can you please fix those?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RackinRico:
Excellent ROM, very fast and stable (HTC Magic here).

Is there a way to have the standard keyboard instead of the Hero one? While using Cyanogen's ported ROM I've realized I type faster on the standard keyboard.

Is there a way to allow for the home screen to be oriented differently, too? (I became spoiled by that on Cyanogen's ROM...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skrki:
You can try pushing the advanced launcher, though I don't know if it will allow the rotation, but it may. Do a search on it.

Also, other home mod applications allow it, such as Open home.

Though I have yet to try this ROM, I believe that Android keyboard should be in it. Check in settings, enable it if its there, then also long press on a text box and choose the input method.

P.S. Please use the General section and Search button for these types of questions.

Thanks. Ok so I am having an issue with this, its now telling me its been 15min since unplugged, it has not been 15min, its been hours. What are reasons that this time might reset itself besides really plugging it in.

I unplugged it maybe 6 hours at the most and I am down to 68% with not much use, wifi off, using only 2G networks, no widgets... well I am using Open Gestures Light as of last night, but I'll test it out without that on later. I like it because it changes the app menu pull out thing, and gives me 5 home screens instead of 3, otherwise I wouldn't use it.

I did install the fix too, that was posted the other day, via sd card and update.zip method.

Also I liked the camera in CM's 4.0.4 Rom, the new Donut cam is not really that good, any way to get the camera software that was in with CM's 4.0.4? It was nice that it had so many features like Saturation and Contrast and the White Balances etc. I have Camera Zoom paid app, but still I preferred the other one.
