hehehe

i have a new Dash 3G and in 2-3 days i barely use 1/3 of my battery and using the 3VO beta 2.6 rom
[HTC Excalibur] fagga:
thank you

for your information it was very helpfull
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicDude4Eva:
I searched the forums and have not been able to find a workable solution. I am currently on Cyanogen 4.0.4 and have a sdcard in which I have an audio-folder containing all audio resources (as well as some custom ringtones).

I want the Music player to ignore the folder. I tried by placing a ".nomedia"-file in the audio-folder (and it's subfolders) but this causes the phone to loose it's configured ringtones/notification sounds.

There is probably an easy way to hide all UI/ringtones and just let the music player have access to the MP3 folder (where all my songs are)?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
move the files to system/sd
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicDude4Eva:
thanks. I moved them to /system/media/audio and it works. For anyone doing this, reboot your phone and be wait 1-2 minutes until the files appear in the ringtone selection.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Mine are in a folder called "Ringtones" on my SD card and they have always been ignored by music apps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lashonp:
Totally worked, though I had it like that before but maybe that was before the OTA update & before this issue started.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a port of JACxROM from the dream/g1. It's based on the stable android 1.5/cupcake AOSP from the master branch and 1.5r4 now includes some donut code as well. All resolutions should work with this build. It includes some htc frameworks and apps as well as the htc keyboard. Java is included in this build as well as exchange work email. It has a nice hero like theme done by manup. There are several hero like widgets included such as a flip style weather clock and several toggle switches. I've also included Loccy's Better Browser which is an enhanced version of the standard opensource android browser.The origional JACxROM1.X can be found in the dream forums.

JACxROM1.4r3 Vogue/Kaiser

Download: xROM1.4r3 from vogue-android

This is the android 1.5 AOSP version with the hero themed launcher. Use it with the standard basefiles package at vogue-android.

JACxROM1.5r4c Beta for Vogue/Kaiser:

Download: xROM 1.5r4c bundle. from vogue-hero experimental page. You must use the latest basefiles. I've included Java in this build and the Biz Card Reader from hero. It also includes all the other htc apps in the last xROM including the htc music app. It's using Loccy's Better Browser with double tap zoom and Stericson's lock screen. It also has the Meltus v7 audio hack and the standard pre like xROM Advanced launcher which is themed by overground and maintained by irrenhaus and ported from rogro82's original Launcher.apk.

All credits for the original xROM go to just another crowd(jac), manup456, cyanogen, loccy, overground, irrenhaus and rogo82 from the dream forums.
[Touch CDMA General] radem205:
Good job, Zanulator. It's a very nice theme! But I found one problem on the polaris: The headset icon is always displayed, but I never connected the headphone to the phone (it doesn't work yet on the polaris). Do you know how to solve this?

Thanks!!
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
The headphone icon is just there. It's not a bug it's an unusable feature ;).
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
Very nice - works well. Great idea splitting the threads for the diff builds.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I use xROM more than hero now. Until the next hero update comes or someone puts out a better themed cupcake/ion/donut I'll be using this.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
so this is the upgraded version of xrom2? -probably a dumb question-
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Yea xROM2 was really JACxROM1.3 it was just the second version that I ported to the vogue thats the reason I called it xROM2. They updated to JACMANxROM1.4r3 so I just used the regular version numbers for this one to avoid confusion in the future.
[Touch CDMA General] mantorp:
Should it work on the Kaiser?

Because I can't get Wi-Fi nor the modem to connect, could you possibly put this system.img in a bundle with the other files you think should work best? I love the responsiveness of it otherwise, seems much faster and less crash prone than the hero builds.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I didn't add the wifi pieces in this build. I'll post one later on in a bundle.
[Touch CDMA General] masalma:
Dude just installed, everything is awsome, except my lock screen is mirrored lol, I dunno how that happened, but it is like looking throught a piece of glass and everything is backward.

Everything else looks amazing though, thank you.

Nas
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
did you use a fresh data.img? i accidentally booted xrom with the data.img from cyanogenmod and everything was weird kinda cool but not quite right.
[Touch CDMA General] refthemc:
New XRom is great thanks Zenulator, only thing is that that weird headphone icon is in the taskbar, lol, i know that wasnt in the last XRom release so i'm guessing you somehow fixed it before?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
this is a great build man, no crashes so far. zen, is there any way to make the "in call" volume louder when on a phone call? that's the only real annoying thing about our android builds. im shocked no one has fixed this or attempted to hack the audiopara. the rest of my volumes are very loud.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
Hey zenulator, great work as always. A couple of things.

1. I know your stance on the camera program and it not working in your builds. However, for a daily use build, I think it is essential. I know that fxcamera works, but a) it takes two clicks to get to the camera, and b) the resolution is not that great. mssmison had the regular camera working in his hero themed ion, which seems very similar to this build in a lot of ways, I don't know if it would be compatible. I did try bringing the camera app over from one of the other builds, but I could not install it on this rom (and yes, I have "unknown sources" checked under applications).

2. no album - also essential, and yes we can get an album program from other places, but I think having all the basics on board on a daily use build like this should be standard.

Thanks again zen.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
what do you mean by album? i can see all of my photos on my sd card? for the camera use pro paint camera, works great!

i figured this was a themed cupcake build and not a true hero rom. :p
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
is it true that using android the way we do will eventually ruin our sd cards? i could of swore i read that somewhere before? if it's true i probably won't use it much as i have alot of other important info on my card.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
yes, themed cupcake build. yes, you can see all pics on your sd card, just need an album program (most builds there is one installed by default name Album or Gallery).
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
didn't even notice the lack of an album on there tbh.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
I take it all back. Started with a fresh data file, gallery now shows up. pro paint camera is a great option, fxcamera "normal" mode won't work for me.
[Touch CDMA General] SkywalkerPD:
I have this headphone icon to. And I can't get a network connection? The modem app says i'm connected, but I can't login to google, can't download something from market.

Anyone else with this issue?

Edit: I did start with a fresh data file.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
been happening with all builds. I have using the bell 3.42.50 radio. yeah, it's back to win mo for me until we have a ril from a sprint phone.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
i feel ya man, thats why i am not able to use hero at all anymore. :(

until someone gets that ril to work with our phones i cant use hero. i heard that htc will be releasing the kernel source for the hero, hope that helps anyone who can code.:o
[Touch CDMA General] niccoswe:
I´m really struggling with the data access on this build. It worked sporadically for a while but now i´m not able to get it to work at all. Any known issues with the data access?

BTW: I managed to sort the problem with no sound on the first incomming call by upgrading the radio.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Well I'm done with xrom for a while. I switched to the nkhero build at vogue-android. I'm thinking about updating it with loccy's better browser and just adding all the htc apps that are in xrom.
[Touch CDMA General] myn:
WOW! This new 1.5r4c rom is quick. Zen, thanks alot for all of your contributions on this.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
just wondering, why are going to be working with the nkhero build, isnt that a step in the wrong direction as it is "pre-update"? or is it more stable than the 'post-update' builds? :)
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
nkhero is just a hero themed ion/cupcake build.
[Touch CDMA General] marcjc:
Because we all look forward to your work so much, just keep us updated with what you do with the nkhero build....

Thanks for all your work...
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
You said it was up at Vogue android? I cant see it there?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/system-nkhero-2009-08-12.img
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
Gah my mistake, I thought it was a build released today.
[Touch CDMA General] myn:
After playing with this xRom1.5r4c even longer.. This is the fastest android rom I have tried.

using xRom1.5r4c + basefiles-20090908. Thats it, thats all. Just blazing fast.
[Touch CDMA General] nerraDD:
This nkhero build is my new favorite! Thanks for pointing it out zenulator... I hadn't seen it before.

The Ion build works really well for me so it's nice to have essentially the same thing, but with a little more eye candy.

Thx!
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
I like the nkhero build as well. any way to get your awesome clock&weather that you added to xrom?
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
get it from market. it's the weather widget (donate)
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
i found it and figured out how to use it on the internet
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
Cool - I guess you're thinking this will give you a really stable base to start off with? Looking forward to trying it.
[Touch CDMA General] skola28:
Issues with the 1.5r4c build.

If you have your resolution set to 336x448 with lcd.density at 160, the lock screen is not formatted correctly.

Calls still take 2-3 rings to come through.

Things that now work:

Reboot (although it just powers off)

Power off
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
Um, I want the Clock&Weather combination widget. You know the HTC hero clock. I believe Zen had to port it over to work on his xROM.

The Weather Widget on the market is just that, a weather widget.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
no it's not.

the one on the market is the one you're talking about.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
the flip clock/weather widget in xrom is the one that pmos is talking about from the market. it's not ported from hero it just made to look like the one from hero.
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
My apologies. However, I'm on the market looking for Weather Widget Donate and there is no match, I search for 'Weather Widget' and I get a few hits ( apps with the exact same name) , and they are just weather widgets, no clock/widget combo. So I looked into the name you mentioned, and its made by AndriodApps. I go to their site and there it is, screen shots and all, exactly what I'm looking for. Just as you said, its called 'Weather Widget -Donate’.

All I can see on the market is Weather Widget -Free’ and it does not have the weather/flip clock.

Am I the only one here? anyone else see it? I am assuming it may be my device thats at fault, because I can't view any paid apps on in the market for some reason, even though I select "Show all" or ever " show only paid" none show up. If I click on Weather Widget Free and then click on the other apps from this developer, its still not in that list. Any suggestions? maybe a direct .apk I can throw in my Andriodapps folder?

thanks.

EDIT: So I installed the Weather Widget Free version. I open it up and inside the options there is a "Download Donate version, I click on that and it says "There are no matches in Android Market for the search pname:com.androidapps.widget.weather2"
[Touch CDMA General] Link9228:
Going from my linux experience... maybe the android marketplace relies on something like the sources.list. In that case, there could be separate servers for the free and paid apps. And maybe you only have the free ones on your sources.list.

Just a hunch though, and I'm probably wrong.
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
you are right. we can only see free apps. so i had to find mine on the internet and create a AndroidApps folder and place the apk file in it in order to get the flip clock im using the google ion build with it and everything is very fast even with lots of widgets including weather widget donate version. also allow third party apps in the options reboot first
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
i havent been able to see paid apps since June or July, im not sure what happened. it might be based on location.... i don't know
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
ummm i can see paid apps on the market, ive bought quite a few of them actually. :confused:
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
i wonder whats goin on.i cant get paid apps even if i search for them specifically
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
if you dont mind me asking what carrier do you have? i have verizon
[Touch CDMA General] refthemc:
Hmmm, thats weird, I used to be able to see paid apps before and now i cant....
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
i use verizon as well
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
im thinking it might be a verizon thing:confused:
[Touch CDMA General] stinkbud:
I noticed that the newest release has no bluetooth capabilities. Not sure if anyone noticed it.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
If you're talking about zImage-audio, it's not the latest release.

It's simply a kernel without bluetooth but with SquashFS for those with audio problems .

You can choose between bluetooth and clear audio.
[Touch CDMA General] fireshaper:
Interesting. I'm also on Verizon and I know I have bought apps before but I can only see free apps as well. Could this be an issue with our apn info? I have my apn info filled in in my default.txt file.
[Touch CDMA General] skydirt:
I'm on Bell, so I don't think its just a Verizon thing, unless its a cdma thing. I used to be able to see paid apps though... I think its just a certain combo of files with a a build thats producing this.
[Touch CDMA General] stinkbud:
no, im using the same z-image, im talking about xrom 1.5r4c and its bundled files.
[Touch CDMA General] refthemc:
Really the only reason i switched to xRom is because in the regular ION build i cant add shortcuts like "Direct Dial or Direct Message" which i really need, so if you can add that to a themed ion build then im all for it
[Touch CDMA General] marcjc:
Ditto on the paid apps issue....
[Touch CDMA General] garringm:
I have been runnin the latest xrom for couple days now its great. I am able to see all the paid apps on the market on my kaiser. I am also on att network with a 3g connection too
[Touch CDMA General] marcjc:
In regards to the paid apps issue... this looks like Google has made a change to what they call unlocked phones.... not sure why this is the first we are not seeing the paid apps. I have been able to see and have paid for apps in the past.

Here is a link to the Market Forum discussing this topic. Hopefully someone can come up with a work around for this.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=247141109ac14e35&hl=en

I know the answer is from a while ago, but I can only assume they changed something else again which causes us not to see the paid apps as we have in the past.
[Touch CDMA General] aross6:
Hey Zen, two quick questions: 1.) Is NKHero just the Official Google Ion build but with a Hero Skin added or are there other differences between the system.img's? 2.) Are we going to be seeing an updated NKHero release to match the Google-Ion-2009-09-12 build and if so will it be in squash format?

Thanks in advance for your quick reply!
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
its nkhero is ion just skinned. i might repackage it in squashfs since it seems to be the new thing and is working quite well.
[Touch CDMA General] aross6:
That would be sweet, it's my $.02 that stability should be the #1 priority of the Vogue-Android project (and the Hero Skin makes it look very nice as well!).... are you planning on packaging it as a bundle or should we just use the basefiles in the Google-Ion-2009-09-12 package?

Also, will your repackage be updated to the 2009-09-12 image build or will it just be system-nkhero-2009-08-12.img in squash format?
[Touch CDMA General] garringm:
Here is my issue first off I am a kaiser user but with the new basefiles everything works great from here or atleast it did until they were updated. What was changed in the basefiles xRom was running great until I updated them, now it acts as some of the older full hero builds did, it is using CC on the newely added conf file. Before I do anything to this file can I ask why you have added CC swap to it I may try and disable it but wanted to know the reasoning behind it first since there has got to be one as to why it was added.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
CC swap was already active for ion builds in the previous basefiles. A larger CC swap, btw.

There wasn't a specific xrom user.conf file in the previous basefiles.

The user.conf files are there to enable users to change those settings.

If you find optimized settings for specific builds, great, and please share your findings.

btw, I find the performance of the latest xrom with the default user.conf to be extremely fast. Maybe there's some other problem?
[Touch CDMA General] garringm:
I knew CC swap was always enabled but xRom didn't seem to use it. I did notice once it had used about 2000kb but since I updated to the new Basefiles it starts out at 21000kb used about same as the hero builds do. I have deleted my data.img and started from scratch, once everything is setup I do a reboot and its still at the 21000kb of use. It starts out laggy and buggy I get a lot of waits and it just never gets better. Maybe I will try the last rootfs without the user.conf file for xRom and see if maybe it isn't just my phone.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
...just edit the xrom.user.conf file and enable/disable/chenge sizes for cc swap and swapfile.

that's why it's there. ;)

your experience with the current settings is a bit strange though.
[Touch CDMA General] garringm:
Here's an update, I throw the old rootfs back in which it does not recognize an xrom.user.conf file I think it reads from the ion file. it runs great no issue fast data everything works great. I then throw the new rootfs files from the xrom bundle it won't even load the homescreen due to a bugreport service error with force close, finally I load the rootfs from the 9-15 basefiles bundle I get a lot of waits but it eventually loads but again is laggy and buggy at best. I then modify the conf file to mimic ion file and still get the same results with 40000+/- kb of used space on a fresh boot. The old rootfs has only 8kb of CC space used on a fresh boot now just so you know I did delete my data.img between each step and let it produce a new img. Was there something changed in the rootfs file to cause this?
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Yes.

Here's the complete changelog:

- added xrom and cyanogen builds support (zenulator)

- added Polaris detection

- new Universal (kaiser/polaris) wifi driver (Newbie16)

- turned on wifi powersaving mode

- fix bug in overcommit_memory setting

- lowmemkiller tunning (zenulator)

- renicer tuning

a few possibilities (although, strangely, I don't have the same behavior):

- the renicer script

- the lowmemkiller tuning

You can turn off the renicer script in the conf file.

And I can make you a rootfs reverting the lowmemkiller changes for you to test. Do you want that? (or have the time to test it)
[Touch CDMA General] garringm:
please do thanks

I dont see the renicer script being the problem unless something has changed is it something I pull using adb to make comparisons? I believe it would be located in here /bin/userinit.sh ?
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
So I'm trying 300x400 resolution setting in defualt.txt with xRom and it seems to be working fine... the screen is more readable. I saw this in the Donut thread and accidentally left the setting the same when I reverted back to xRom - I might leave it like this for a while...

Any reasons not to use this setting?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Some apps might not scale to that resolution. Other than that I don't see any problem with it.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
zen i love this xrom image, so far it's the only one that works for me. problem is the battery life is utter garbage. in 2hrs time it drained almost 30% when the screen was sleeping. isn't there any fix at all for us with this? :(

and yes i have background data and gps disabled, even though i don't think we should have to do that to save the damn battery life either.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
11 bucks on ebay, got a 2200mah extended battery with backing. it works great. it lasts all day with moderate use ie. data, phone calls,some gps.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
well i could go that route but im buying a htc hero anyways pretty soon so i don't want to waste the $$.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
get a tattoo and a bunch of batteries and still have enough to pay drinks all around :)
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
what is this tattoo i keep hearing about on here soo much?

seriously though isn't there a fix for the battery issues at all? i can easily get through a day or so in winmo 6.5. :(
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
The tattoo is a new HTC phone coming out in october with similar (but not exactly the same) hardware to the vogue, the same screen resolution, etc.

It will come with android 1.6 (donut) and sense-ui (like the HTC hero) on top of that. It's the first HTC device to have donut and sense-ui and on a 240x320 screen.

All this makes it very exiting as a android+sensui port should be much more straight forward than the current ports made from HTC hero roms.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
thats interesting, i thought the days of qvga were just about over.
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
this latest lite sense ui is running just about as fast as the ion or xrom for me. very nice. i am so exited to see whats coming in the future!
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
well unless i go and buy an extended battery theres no way i can use these android builds during my work week. really a shame we can't tweak these battery settings for more functionality. why is android soo hard on the vogues battery? ive been talking to a few htc hero users and they say the standard battery life is awesum.
[Touch CDMA General] incubus26jc:
dont forget that windows is running behind it. also the vogue was not made to have android on it. Neither was the battery. The Tattoo was designed with near the same specs as our vogue. so hopefully wont require so much from our battery. It is made for a qvga 240x320 screen so the battery power should be less than say the hero that is designed for a much better resolution and graphic processor and probably better battery. I may be wrong but it sounds good. haha
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
...not exactly true. Windows is not running behind it. Windows is just used to launch android. After that, windows is not running, I assure you.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
what do you have your power collapse suspend set at in you default.txt?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
not sure, i never modded the text other than the screen resolution. what should i set it at? if i can get better battery life and increase my earpiece volume on calls i would use this build all the time.
