I have loaded the fresh ROM 1.0 and used PreKitchen beta to remove sprint apps (NFL, Navigation, Footprints & NASCAR). I did this hoping to increase the battery life of my fone which never goes to sleep !! 100% awake time always & yes I am hating it like HELL !!!

I find almost all the apps open.. like Music, Browser, Weather, Messages, Mail, Voicemail etc.. almost every thing !!!

I have even turned off the backgroud data sync, turned off "always on mobile network data", turned off weather update automatically etc.. jus to make sure i am not having any thing that can suck up battery.. but still within hours (within 6 hrs battery comes to 40% with absolutely no calls/data usage or anything) and withing 8 to 10 hrs fone is OFF !!

This is was same case with even stock rom.. which was basically the main reason for me to look for a custom rom, but even this isnt working for me.. I am p****d of with this battery issue... will the 2.1 Eclair ROM or any other thing solve this issue ??

what shud i do to increase the battery life? and decrease the awake time ?? I am jus not able to get the awake time down even little bit from 100%... plzzz help me guys !!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
I understand.

I again had com.android.phone process fail on me this monrning after the phone being on all night on silent.

I flipped screens when I woke up, and it crashed on me.

I am going to try and go back to stock and reroot. See if that helps.

For those with Market issues after 2.0/2.1 ROMs, check out the first post. It brought back protected apps for me and others!

You could try to do a data wipe. I know I have to do that if I readjust the swap and ext3 partitions on my SD card or if I'm switching between Roms...otherwise I get a lot of force closes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Ok first off about all the stuff open in the background, see this. It is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. That stuff will be there. It pertains to your background updates, it pertains to your widgets, it ties in to stuff you wouldn't even think it would. But the stock applications like that will stay running and are needed.

As far as your 100% awake time... that is your battery problem. And flashing a rom won't fix that because android roms don't require a restore. That means that whatever applications you had on there before hand that were causing your 100% awake issue will still be there when you flash a new rom. You can try doing "wipe factory data" from your recovery menu and see if that works. However that is not a true wipe and just deletes some stuff from the data directory and restores the "run through setup" flag so that it walks you through the intial setup. I've had it not even remove my applications before. But you can try doing that and then rebooting your phone. After you set it up turn it off. Make sure it's not plugged in to anything just turn it off and leave it alone for 5 minutes. Come back and check it. If you are still at 100% awake then you need to run Sprint RUU instead to do a full on wipe. If it is sleeping after the initial data wipe then you're good to go. Just be careful about what you install and keep an eye on it.

Doing a "factory reset wipe" (I just mentioned this above) really doesn't do a whole lot to the phone other than delete some info from the /data directory. Running it will actually still leave you on fresh (or whatever rom you had at that time). It just kind of clears more data than clearing the cache does. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justpyro:
Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, but I like the lock screen and your trademark FRESSSHHHH, but I don't like the new icons. Specifically, I find the signal strength icon to be very hard to read.

Can we de-fresh that? This isn't urgent, so if it's coming in the 1.1 release or in an update to your pre-kitchen, I can wait.

Thanks flipz! I love the ROM. (and all of your support)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 702DROID:
you can change it in the kitchen already
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justpyro:
Ah, thanks, I haven't had a chance to play with the pre-kitchen tool yet, but I didn't see that as a feature in the screenshots or list.

My mistake.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
I didnt like the lockscreen at first, but after re-flashing I left it there amd have grown to actually like it. And I also favor you leaving the fresh sound or whatever way you wan to trademark your ROM. You do a good enough job of accomodating people's requests, you are entitled to put your personal mark on it too!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I feel the same way actually, flipz knows I love and support the work he does :D

My signal isn't that great at home and when stuck with a weak signal, it's really hard to read. everything else is awesome tho...

signal icons and clear lock screen (with gold lock) were my only complaints.

luckily for us, he is awesome and is willing to change or allow us a way to change things to our liking :cool:

Can't wait for 1.1..... ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doeboy711:
This is from Andoridforums.com. I copied it and pasted it here because I like the idea of having this as a lock screen. So if there would be any way of doing this that would be Awesome!!!!!!

(This is not my post that I submitted but a post someone else submitted)

"Wanted to reopen this question. I recently jailbroke my iPhone so that I could actually turn my lock screen (this is an unfortunate term as I don't actually have a code lock on it -- it's the slide to unlock screen) into something useful.

The app is called LockInfo and has a bunch of themes that you can run on it and a bunch of options. It's fairly non-interactive and simply just gives you a list of your sms, voicemail, phone, calendar, mail, todo, weather, and twitter alerts. It's honestly the single best thing about the phone and something that is indespensible. Here is a screen shot. Remember, it can be themed to look a little nicer, but you get the idea.

I want to get an Android device when my contract is up and I'd really like something like this. I know there's the notification drop down thing, but it seems like I'd need to do two swipes to get that instead of just hitting the screen on button like I do now. Does something like this exist or am I waiting for something like FlyScreen to offer a widget for something like this? Thanks!"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
hmm, a 'Today type' screen similar to Blackberry, that would be cool.

I wonder if it's possible, might be a pain to code...

devs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
There is FlyScreen & Lock 2.0....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I was thinking theme-built in rather than having another screen to close.

Forgot Lock 2.0 supports widgets tho, I'll have to look into Flyscreen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
As was mentioned already it can be changed in the kitchen. It was also part of the "de-fresh" pack that I added on release day. But yea, they are being changed in 1.1.

Love... put up with... same thing.

I have modified our lock screen to remove the Sprint text for 1.1. Actually modifying it to change what it displays though... wouldn't be possible without the source kernel.

Edit: And really even then it may not be possible since the lockscreen is closed source. Right now all we can do is hex edit it which can only change small things, not add them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justpyro:
I saw the de-fresh pack, but I only saw the option to get rid of just the lock screen, or everything, and I only want to get rid of the toolbar. Did I miss a post or download for that earlier?

Thanks flipz!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rquinn19:
install theme -> default taskbar
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
well, i tried out the factory wipe/data, and uninstalled all apps tht i had earlier like TaskKiller, HandcentSMS and TonePicker. but this didnt solve the problem. The awake time was still 100% all the time, then i tried a factory reset from the phone as well. Same issue repeats !!

Finally i upgraded to 2.1v1.5 ROM and battery seems to be better holding than earlier (its only marginally better !!) I could pass a night without needing a charge.. but still this isnt what is normal i believe! i dont like this 2.1 ROM basically becoz i cant search contacts while texting.. camera doesnt work and alarm clock doesnt work... but alas the fone stays up marginally longer !!!

I want to try the Sprint RUU.. what is the process for that now ?? do you think that can help ? or what else can be a solution ? plzz help me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rquinn19:
The newest RUU is up on his site. Try running that and seeing how things are for a day or two. Then go from there. Just run the ruu while your phone is connected to the pc with htc sync installed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
I have rolled back to the stock sprint ROM, but i am using it in india, i dont need the sprint TV, navigation and other stuff. I am trying to uninstall thse things using the preKitche.exe, but i am not successful. Why is it so? Does this preKitchen not support removing these application from stock rom ? How do i go about it? plz advice
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
hahaha

yeah, that's what I was thinking.

If we could get rid of lock completely, then Lock 2.0 might be scenario, but can't stand to have more than 1 screen to clear before accessing my phone.

when do you think we'll see the 1.1 release?

more importantly.... when do I get to beta test it, lol :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
I am STILL getting way too many errors for me to consider this a replacement for my daily stock ROM.

Just this morning.

I had my phone COMPLETELY hang on me waiting for a call. I had to reboot and wait another 3/4 minutes for reboot.

Just now, I have had Market app not open.

I have also had Handcent crash.

This was all after COMPLETELY wiping my phone. Clearing all caches, re-installing Fresh overnight and starting over again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
It has been a while sense the last time I played software hacker but do you think something akin to a code cave would work to modify the stock lock screen app? I have made trainers that would use this method to bypass hard-coded restrictions in a few games back in the day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
griff,

It sucks that you've been having so many problems with the ROM.

I've been using Fresh 1.0 as my daily rom for the past week and a half and haven't experienced any of the problems that you have had. I retained all of my data and apps "out of the box." No phone hangups and Market has worked for me just like it did the day I activated my Hero. You mentioned the you completely wiped your phone but it was mentioned that a factory wipe (Settings - Security- Factory data reset, if that is what you did?) only wipes your data and resets everything to default (not the ROM). Try flashing back to stock using the RUU then reflash Fresh 1.0 to see if that solves any of your issues. Reading the forum since the 1.0 update you seem to be the only one having this many issues with the ROM. Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It doesn't work on a stock rom for two reasons. First is it requires root to work at all. However even if you are rooted it requires "adb remount" which is a debug item that must be turned on in the boot.img. It is not enabled on the stock rom.

I'm rebuilding it off of the 1.56 RUU stock image now that we have it available. It's coming!

So you used the RUU as mentioned? Which set you back to 100% stock? What method did you use to root it? Did it work before you started installing apps (you mentioned handcent)? You need to run the RUU and return to complete stock and get that working before this will work for you.

I don't know a lot about making trainers, however I have to assume that method wouldn't work android. For phone security and protection every single application runs in it's own virtual machine, and can only interact with each other when permission is granted. So when you say something like "bypass hard-coded restrictions" I just naturally assume that's not something that will work on android. :)

Thanks for helping out!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
I haven't been able to get back to RUU stock. I managed to get back to my nandroided stock.

I have not been able to get back to RUU by using Fresh 0.2b. I don't see how I can get back to a completely clean RUU stock. It just will not recognise the phone.

I'm giving it another chance today...I really like this ROM. It seems a shame that I can't get it to work without issues which may be relating to my setup...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
If you don't have HTC sync installed already then install it. It isn't needed for the RUU to work, but it will make sure you have all the necessary drivers. If you have windows 7 then you'll need to install the drivers manually still. If it's failing for you then please tell us where and at what step, and what the utility tells you. Also make sure you are using the 1.56 RUU, not 1.29.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
I am not sure either, I have not coded anything in the last 4 years outside of PLC ladder logic and AutoCAD Lisp stuff. What I know about the android OS is not much more then the normal person who doesn't know **** about programming.

The trainer was used for proof of concept, if it worked and was stable then I would hex edit the file and "hard code" the changes if the software did not have memory checkers and if it did then I had to make memory hooks or .dll injectors which were usually a pain in the ass to get to function properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:
OK, I managed to use the RUU to get back to stock.

Loaded Fresh Rom, and everything seemed pretty good.

I used My backup to reinstall my apps.

Everything seemd good today, but now I'm looking at my phone, and albums won't open, market won't open. I am LITERALLY looking at it right now, and the entire screen froze for about 10 seconds...

Ah. And right now, LITERALLY RIGHT NOW, the phone is rebooting.

The only thing I have done recently is install a battery widget from the market.

So, to recap. I went back to stock using the RUU. Flashed recovery. Loaded Fresh ROM , defreshed, loaded the nexus one boot screen, reloaded my apps. Installed a battery widget and Battery indicator, and I'm having all sorts of problems. I cannot belive its the widgets or battery indicator...

I just don't know what else to do. I'm bored of rebooting, bored of HTC sense reloading.

I think I'm just going to have to wait for 2.1.....

Real shame
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
In my nicest voice possible... how do you not realize that is the problem? If you have an application that is acting up and crashing everything (which is exactly what's happening) and then you restore that application after flashing back to stock how do you expect it to not do the exact same thing?

Flash RUU, root and flash fresh rom and STOP. Use it for 24 hours and see that it works fine. THEN slowly start to reinstall your applications. If you restore from a backup then you are just going to restore the problem........
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bohiti:
Flipz, I just want to say that I appreciate what you do here. I click through ads on your site. You're patient, helpful, and dedicated.

Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
Second the sentiment :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Thanks guys. It's appreciated. :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
Help, I'm on this rom and installed an app from the market. It wouldn't launch so I just added the widget to the home screen. Now all I get is ForeClosure on all the apps. I reset the phone and everything Forecloses and I can't even get service on my phone to make or receive phone calls, Please HELP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
have you tried reflashing the rom on top of itself?

btw Fresh 1.1 should be real nice.... ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
I will try that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
lol, nice teaser!! ;)

Your making the public ansy this morning, haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
I bet flip is gonna release 1.1 on 1-1-10 at 1:10 AM...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Is_907:
LOL I hope not!

Don't want to wait that long ;)

flipz... this looks awesome. I'm excited to see 1.1 on my phone!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
This didn't work, my phone still has Foreclosures and no service. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
certainly possible, lol

he does like to work during the wee hours of the morning....

maybe I'll post another teaser for flipz here in a bit, lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
do you have a previous backup you can revert to?

(before downloading the latest app and putting it on your desktop)

if the app was erroring to begin with, placing it on your desktop probably made it a startup option at this point. if you can't remove the app and reboot, then try a restore from previous backup.

worsecase scenario, you can flash RUU, root, and reload Fresh ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Is_907:
Woo teasers!

Thanks, N0J! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
I will loose all my contacts right with RUU? I uninstalled through the market, is there a another method?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
yeah, unfortunately flash back to stock, you would loose them.

If you don't mind me asking, what app did you install?

Was everything running fine before loading this app?

You can you a app manager if you have one to see if the app still shows up there. I use one called 'AppManager' it will allow uninstall of any app, regardless of market or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
yes everything was fine, it was curvefish battery manager
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
hmm, I'll look into the app and see if I find any known issues with it.

wipe data from recovery and flashing RUU could possibly fix these, but you would loose your contacts.

How long ago was your last backup via recovery?

with 'no service', etc.. there might not be another way, unless you have a backup you can restore.

I had hoped reflashing 1.0 ROM would replace all stock/major apps, causing them to at least function again, but that app apparently messed something up big time.

I'm still trying to find a fix/scenario for ya.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
12/26 was last back up, I d/l most of the apps mentioned here:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=103628 They are running fresh 1.0, I wonder how I got this problem and they didn't... thanks for ya help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
your welcome.

You know what?

Come to think of it, I'm running that app and have been for several months.

(great app btw ;))

there wasn't anything else that happened inbetween?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
How many apps do you have installed? There is an apparent max on our phones that's somewhere around 70 (I'm half alseep and can't remember the exact number right now). As soon as you go over that number you will start seeing force closes like you described.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] x99percent:
There are people that *aren't* syncing their contacts? :confused:

I sync my contacts to my gmail account, and wipe after every flash... I like just starting with a clean slate. At the same time, I don't experience any of the wacky problems that people seem to have every once in a while...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
ahh damn....

forgot about that limitation

It's like 70 or 72 I think

btw, that wasn't very long.... Get enough sleep?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
if you don't set it up I suppose, hehe

I have a 'Phone Backup' profile I setup in Gmail, so it will autosynch, also allowing me to uncheck the everything else so I don't have every email address in there that I've ever sent/recieved, lol

tbh, I only ever wipe data when I have to.

I rarely ever run across any issues, but hey weird stuff happens....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
Not sure to tell how many, I'm running appstosd if that makes a difference. I know that I just deleted some through settings and application, at least the ones I had installed before everything screwed up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
Ok, I just deleted about five of those apps and now I have service!!! Can someone tell me where I can find out how many apps I have installed on my phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
Oh, THANKS to everyone who helped try to sort this issue out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Your welcome!

Glad you were able to get it going again :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
You can sync your contacts from your phone to Gmail? How do you go about doing that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
menu > settings > data synch > google
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Flipz explained it to me. Apperantly that only syncs your google contacts and not your phone contacts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] j.c.briggs:
Why have them separate?

Just export your google contacts from the website and your phone contacts. Open both in excel and merge them together. The result is that your google contacts that you have phone numbers for will now have their phone numbers on them. Import the file back into google. Setup your phone to sync with google and now its all there at your fingertips...phone numbers, addresses, emails, etc....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] creacher:
Mine is working just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atdang87:
I rebooted the phone. but I still get the force close.

Should I re-flash the rom?

Holy **** dude I love you.

And happy new years to all. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
won't hurt anything to try ;)

I confirmed with flipz that it's working on his end as well. I personally don't use it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atdang87:
Just did a re-flash. Same force close happens everytime I try to use Wireless tether app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
Flipz, you have a donation coming your way on the morrow. I don't have a lot to donate, especially at this time of the year, but all the hard work you put in for us, I figure you deserve it. Thanks, sincerely!!!

problem solved. I just restored my Nanroid back up, Download the rom again and re-flash it. Everything works perfectly fine now. Thank you flipz for the new year gift. I knew he was saving something for new year (thought it was the eclair 2.1, but great 1.1 would also do it)

Thank you again. Happy new year everyone.

Thanks for the feedback guys. A new release can be a little nerve wracking sometimes while I wait for the confirmation that its working for people. So I appreciate it! :)
