I doubt it since it's 4g. But I'd take the advice of someone else. Possibly ask Toast since he posted it.

battery life

hey guys. i have been doing some testing and i installed some apks and hoesntly i must say that my battery life has improve greatly.

now before every hops on it... i would like to say don't expect a great battery life but i however did.

now in these apk's one of them will not install it is called iqrd.apk that will not install. not if you check here

http://forum.androidcentral.com/70337-post4.html

you will see that this apk has a high chance of increasing battery life even more. please can someone test this one and let me know what you think.

also if someone knows how to force install the iqrd.apk please let me know.

note. i notice my battery last a very long time when i'm using it but when i wake it up i see it drains battery. now i dont know if that is where the other apk comes in when the phone is sleeping.

also do this

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651848

i dont know if this helped also but it won't hurt to try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HottKarl:
ya ... I was thinking I should ask Toast

... off to send a PM. will let everyone know what the verdict is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
I've been having trouble with my cable internet. that's it. fix it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Buy more RAM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
you know how hard it is to find sd ram these days
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
Try finding rdram.

On the gps topic, I tried the fix a few posts back, no change. :-(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I've got like 20 sticks just laying around, and can get alot more from my old CET teacher.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shippbe:
Yes, if you wipe and reflash you'll lose all of your settings. But you will not lose things that are synced to the Google servers, such as emails, contacts, events on the calendar, etc. I even think in this rom when you set it up, it asks you if you want to backup your settings for later to the Google servers. So if you didn't do that, yes you lose your settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
I did a search here and noticed people were having problems with the gallery. I'm having the same problem.. Is there an alternative gallery? Obviously the HTC one doesn't work. Also am i correct in thinking that the camera can only be set as high as 3 megapixel? Wish we could use the htc one as i like it much better. Any help here? Otherwise this ROM freaking hauls ass!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
Although the HTC Cal is built in through sense, the Android backend is still present, thus forcing an include of com.android.calendar.

This is how non sense (nonsense.. hehe.) widgets are still available, especially when another launcher is chosen to replace sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Ha, one day I'm going to learn this stuff well and make my own ROM called XtremeNonsense.... hahahahaha. I've kind of been toying around with it already :p

Anyway, I'll pull the calendar and see what happens. Thanks, again, for the help :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Well, it worked....... Kind of.

The HTC Calendar FC'd a lot (it was calling com.htc.calendar, which obviously doesn't exist) so I just pushed the AOSP calendar back again and it works now... No idea why that did it. I was rm'ing the old calendar .apks and pushing them again, too... This is just weird, but I'm not complaining! Thanks for the help :) :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
anyway to get a black taskbar for this?? I tried using a metamorph file for the black sense taskbar and totally screwed crap up.. I really would like a black taskbar, the HTC camera would be great, and possibly an alternative to the gallery since it's not working too great for me.. Anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] japin:
With this rom I cannot get a shell when this phone is booted. I try using the command "adb devices" and the phone does not even show up?? Anyone have a fix for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex.holliz:
It's been said several times, an AOSP rom does not have the sense framework, and will not run *any* HTC apks. FreshToast is probably what you're looking for.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordJudass:
One stupid question...

Can I use "adb push" to push the music.apk from the Darchdroid 2.5 ROM? I really love that app.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex.holliz:
Yeah, search for AOSP apk's and just push music.apk to /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordJudass:
Thanks... I will search for that app, i love the widgets for this music app. If someone have the app, please post it, i delete the old Darchdroid ROM (2.5).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
if you want sense go run a normal rom :rolleyes: darch great work im still running this i check the updater all the time hoping for a gps fix :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
it should be the same one thats on there now, the widget is the same afaik
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
Not looking for Fresh Toast... I would like an AOSP rom with a black taskbar. Surely there is a way to achieve that. Also, im not too fond of the camera because it only works with up to 3 megapixel..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordJudass:
I can be wrong, but I remember I had an app for music which brought three widgets of different sizes, may have been 2.5 or 2.1 not sure. Maybe Darchstar knows what i'm talking about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
Oh really ?? i never said darch rom is bad or nething.. its actually so good that i want it to be my daily, but i require a few apps like htc dialer nd people, thats' my preference!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
I have an zip that I can give you when I get home that will do that for ya.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I'd like it as well, thanks.

Just waiting to flash this on my phone until Darch posts the update with the battery fix. Actually, Darch, do I need to wait? Will it be a no wipe update? That'd be cool :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Have you tried Dialer 1 from the Market? Nice alternative to HTC dialer/people...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boredmug:
Thank you! i would greatly appreciate it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
Scratch that, gps had a lock for a bit need to test it whole driving tomorrow, Ty!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dondadah88:
no one wants to try this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I've got two 64MB sticks sitting around somewhere, sell them to you for $150
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
I noticed "Allow Mock Locations" is set by default in Settings->Applications->Development. From what I've read, this can screw with location-aware apps occasionally.

I am not going to be able to test Navigation today, but just a thought of something to check on....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ARoiD:
sign in to your google account and post your darchdroid issues properly to avoid duplicating bug reports simple bug reporting guidelines are posted in the first post of this thread yes the same post the download's are located;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Question: Is "Up Time" in AOSP the duration of time that the phone has been awake, or is it the total time the phone has been powered on since boot up? Because my current Up Time is 6:34... and my phone has definitely not been awake that long (unless it is not going to sleep :()

EDIT

I'd also like to say that if your battery level seems to drop very fast, try restarting your phone. I noticed this, restarted my phone, and the battery level went up about a good 20-30%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Powered on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleejay:
I tried the gps fix a few pages back, no dice.

basically what its doing is getting a lock, and never refreshing. copilot gives you a function to see the gps signal, and on other roms when it works, it moves around like crazy showing you the connection. with this one, it locks once and never moves, as far as i can tell its not refreshing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
flashed this a couple days ago and I must say its my favorite rom yet. However I have been experiencing some random reboots of the phone anyone else come across this?

Also I heard that 2.6.4 has been more stable for some people, where could I find that .zip?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Its probably the OC kernel. Your phone might not be able to handle the OC'ing consistently.

Download an OC'ing app like setcpu or OC widget. Downclock your phone to something like 652mhz or 691mhz. Then see if you get any reboots.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
thanks for the suggestion I'll see if this works, although i was using the 710 OC kernel you put out with damage control and it worked perfectly no reboots at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
Does anyone know what 'Enable PIN lock' does?

Its an option located under Setting > Location & security.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I really don't know how you guys aren't getting a lock on gps. I've been using navigation with this ROM since the initial release.

I set the QOS_Accuracy to 1, which takes down the accuracy but in doing so speeds up the refresh rate of the gps. I also set the same defaults as whatever Flipz put in his ROM(can't remember).

I think the last chance for you guys is to grab the libgps.so from fresh and see if it works(but more than likely it will completely break it).

That, or you can try pushing all the gps files from this ROM back in, maybe something just corrupted on flash/download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
And in all honesty, if people can just live without the video camera for the time being, the GPS in 2.6.3 works just fine as I have been using it for at least a week now...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
The thing is: it's the same gps files. It's either user error or your phone just doesn't like you. I can see how darch maybe frustrated now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blampars:
Been waiting all day to post about GPS as I've been using it non stop to test it out. Using latest Darchdroid 2.6.5 and my GPS has had no problems at all.

Using google nav and cardio trainer app today for my bike ride, it's all been good.

I assume most of you have flashed over previous builds up to the latest. I started using Darch on 2.6.4 and flashed 2.6.5 over top when it came out.

Has anyone tried a complete wipe and flash of 2.6.5 to see if they still have problems? I can't recall in the previous posts if anyone has.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Here's a contribution: you need to grow a pair, too, friend. Darch dressed you down a few screenies back because you dared to add a version of apps2sd from another developer over HIS ROM, a move that made sense to (and apparently worked out for) YOU at the time, but it didn't fit with Darch's logic nor master plan for his ROM. So, like a good disciple you backpedaled, wiped and reinstalled some other/older version of Darch's ROM until things apparently and finally fell into place for you. Really? You came up with a solution that worked in your particular, unique situation but then knuckled under due to pressure from the developer just because he expressed disgust/disapproval? Do you guys read the other topics on this board? I've not encountered ANY other developer on XDA who treats their ROM users with quite the unique level of contempt as Darch does on occasion...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Agreed with you 100%. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha i love you in the least homo way possible :D im going to add you as a friend on here just for this post. Will you please be my friend on xda sir. No sarcasm at all i swear
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
yeah its weird, it just seems random
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Dirk, we already ARE friends, and that's because you've helped me SEVERAL times over the past few months with your posts -- that's what the XDA forums are all about. Not for mocking or backbiting or taking comments personally. I'm seriously not dumping on Darch -- the guy is uber-talented when it comes to Android -- but for God's sake, chill out and don't take every comment from your customers as a personal attack.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coldsweat:
moral of the story
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Cool, when you realize that it wasn't me. Boy, will you feel stupid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
I had major lock problems with 2.6.3, missed the 2.6.4 update altogether, and just reinstalled 2.6.5 this evening -- am seriously hoping that GPS is NOT an issue. I can somewhat live without MMS receive, but going without GPS is non-negotiable for me. I'll be testing here shortly and will report back later....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
once again agreed, but i wont say much more ill stay out of this, i dont want to halt development of 2.2 <-------bwhahahahaha :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Yes, so sorry, in double-checking the post (#2105 on page 211) I see now that it was dec3ption and not Decad3ence making that post. So hang me at the virtual gallows. It must have been, oh I don't know, the use of the "3" for the "e" that totally tripped me up... :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
I hear you, my friend... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleejay:
thats where my problem lies, a complete wipe and 2.6.5 install. maybe something is overwritten during the upgrades from 2.6.2 etc?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
I have yes, but ill try putting the files there directly. It didn't work on an update so I even wiped my card with no luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
OK well did a new fresh build with 2.6.5 and GPS didn't work right sooo. I grabbed the libgps.so from the old GPS fix and the gpscnfg.txt from the new fix and it worked. So stop *****ing and do something about it..

Or do a bug report.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Roger that, dirky. I've contributed to Flipz for his Fresh efforts and will probably send some funds Konikub's way for his PureHero/Aloysius ROMs, which I've used and liked. And I would contribute to Darch, if he'd tell us how to do so -- he deserves it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Since it worked for someone else to use the libgps.so from the past builds, I pulled the one from my phone and coupled it with my gpsconf tweak.

Nandroid first.

Should fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] duffkitty:
I think we have a winner. My Google Nav is holding a lock so far while it's sitting next to me stationary. Will try it outside tomorrow for sure.

I was throwing an old libgps.so into /system/lib and it wasn't working, I pulled it from 2.6.4 where gps worked. I got nothing but with this fix it works fine.... So far....

Maybe it was a permissions thing cause you have rw/rw/rw I just had rw/r/r
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vastateofmind:
Having reinstalled v2.6.5 yesterday (10 or so hours ago), I just walked down the block to check if GPS is holding the lock and GPS dropped the lock -- first time since reinstalling yesterday. Don't know if it's a fluke, but I'm going to test it with another drive in the car tomorrow morning, and if the GPS lock drops again I'm going to apply your patch. Thanks for prepping and sharing this....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I just realized I can no longer run this ROM until MMS is fixed :[
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Alright folks, I deleted a few posts to clean this thread, can we all keep this thread on topic now please

Ta
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ARoiD:
thank you very much;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Yes, my install is a complete wipe, fresh install of 2.6.5 (had 2.6.4 prior)

Thanks for this, tried it this morning and have the same result though. GPS locks for about a minute or so then loses signal and never returns. Tried turning off GPS and turning it back on, no help. Rebooted the phone and tried again, nothing.

I appreciate all the efforts going into fixing this, wish I was as smart about this stuff as you guys are. I know it'll get fixed! :)

there is something wierd going on with my phone lol, in the settings->about phone-> status it says that my signal strength is says this: -97dmb 0 asu.

what is the asu part? it used to be one of my wifi networks why is it there lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
ASU stands for Active Set Update. What exactly it does is beyond me, but it's been there for every ROM. Your signal strength is a little weird, though :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iliapiano:

Wikipedia doesn't know anything? BLASPHEMY!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
It has nothing to do with your old wifi network, we all have it. I think it is due to the fact that this code is ported from GSM phones. Here's a post that talks about it on another forum: http://cellphoneforums.net/t-mobile/t195696-what-signal-strenght-asu.html#post1331447

Any way I can get the EPST.apk etc.. onto this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Could try ADB pull and then ADB push.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feld:
Strangely, I was never able to *send* MMS even though that's listed in the features. I found an old thread from porting 1.6 that had a working apns-xml.conf and said to delete telephony.db and reboot. This fixed sending for me.

Receiving as we know is a different bug altogether and I'm hoping Darch or someone out there has a solution because I dont know the guts well enough nor do I have the ability to write the required glue code needed :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meatballz:
I tried a push to /system/app and got

I still don't get a good GPS lock from Decadence's fix, I have posted a complete logcat on the bug report and will post it here also for those who want a look.

http://pastebin.com/x84V5jpc

Steps taken were:

Activate GPS from off state

Open Google Navigation

Select Destination

Gain Lock

Wait...

Lost Lock

What other files effect GPS usage/refreshing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Elijah Lynn:
I am a virgin to rooting and flashing... until last night!!!

This is my first ever custom rom and it ROCKS!!! I feel like I have a real phone now, it is like you "UNBRICKED MY HERO". It is soooo much faster than Sprint/HTC's 1.5 OR 2.1 rom.

I just trucked around Jersey for half the day and it seems the GPS radio is having issues. I made a comment on this issue /p/darchdroid/issues/detail?id=16 (sorry new users can't post links) & also sent a bug report to you with the log included.

Thanks so much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Elijah Lynn:
How do I donate to you? I checked your link in your sig and searched your original thread for "donate" but can't find it. What is the link?

I see it on my phone but I want to use a computer to do it.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Where is the link to do it on the phone??

Darchstar doesn't take donations. Many of us have asked him to, but he stays silent on the matter.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
So all you did was delete the telephony.db file? You didnt push any other files right? Also what directory is the telephony.db file located in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Last attempt. Otherwise, I have no clue why you guys are having problems. I get a lock unless my I'm idle for too long in one area, then the gps just times out; but that's normal.

I read through all your logcats and saw no real errors. :confused:

This is the same libgps.so from the original fix by gomorrah. Please also check the permissions of each file after you flash. Mess with autokiller settings too. I'm lost.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] comintern:
Yeah, when I go through my own logs I don't find any errors either. In fact, it looks to me like libgps is returning data but Google Nav just isn't finding it. Only thing I can think of is that maybe it's a problem with the baseband I'm running. Anyone have a working GPS with the 2.42.01.04.27 radio? If not, what baseband version you running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I'm using that radio. No real problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meatballz:
Tried launching EPST.apk with

adb shell am start -a 786 -f 0x10000000 -n com.google.android.epst/.EPST
