Yes, as per power tutor, messaging app consumes a lot of battery.

I had to remove Mms.apk using adb and replace it with handsent.

This happens in CM 6.2 RC as well.

I get much battery life after this replacement.

One more power drainer is Skype.

I use it only when needed.

Yahoo messenger and Yahoo mail had also shown high in power consumption chart.

But may be its just me.
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
Oh thanks for testing !

I cannot use adb, so I hope Richard can do something for the next release.

I will add it to the bug list.
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
try estrong file manager or root explorer apps then :)
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
thanks, will try it next time, in the meantime, I used this procedure with success and "easyness" ;o)

some people claim they have issues with mms's when they remove the stock app...
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
thanks for this info !

Btw..... Who uses mms's ??

The only one I received was sent by myself to test ;o)

I had iinga to do this data2sd for me, but every time i reboot it changes language.Every other settings i have made stays right. Does someone know what to do ?
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Since ~6.0e, the main process which is causing battery draw for me has been the "Android System" (somebody else has noted this as well). This appears to be kernel-independent.

Approximately 3x the draw at idle, although it appears to be random spikes.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Messaging takes about one third of my power too. Interested to hear from anyone who removed the messaging app and kept handcent, any negative effects etc?
[Desire Android Development] hajen78:
It resets my clock to gmt0 to i have treid many things uninstalling most of my programs, but nothing sems to work.
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
No. Works fine here with handcent..

[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
Well i switched back to 5.8 it works best for me and gives me the best battery life
[Desire Android Development] Kev23:
Has worked for me.

handcent is working, but chompsms didn't (it wouldn't receive a sms until i installed hancent aswell.....weird)....Installed from marked after re-flashing - next time will try and add chomp directly to the zip file.

Can't comment on battery life yet.. but powertutor isn't reporting anything killing the battery.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Thanks, I might give it a go. I'm slightly put off my all the warnings about the change being "irreversable"...
[Desire Android Development] anthropolyte:
It's not irreversible as such - you can reinstall the ROM and that'll reinstall the MMS apk.

For reference, messaging seems to work fine for me on Handcent after removing the Messaging apk using Titanium Backup.
[Desire Android Development] Kev23:
Just make sure you nandroid before trying it. I forgot so am glad it worked!! ;)

I couldn't get the titanium method to work so had flash from the start anyway.
[Desire Android Development] Dramiro:
Where is flash player un the market?
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
If you have s-off you can copy mms. Apk afterwards back with rootexplorer
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
Still no negative effect.

Battery increase is effective, I can see the graphics in "battery snap" who stopped to decrease at high rate
[Desire Android Development] Tangentabacus:
After flash I just am stuck looking at a silent "HTC" screen. :o
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
No negative effects!

Handsent seems to be a good replacement, perfectly smooth.

I am not into Mms.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Did you do a full wipe of everything?

Sent by Owl Post
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
So is the mms issue with the ROM or is it something else?
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
It's not really an "issue", but if you want better battery, remove mms.apk and use handcent SMS.

auto brightness

hi,

yesterday i installed that rom and what to say? i'm really impressed. but somehow, i'm not able to get auto brightness to work. once i enable auto brightness in settings the screen dims and remains in a dark state. any hints how to get auto brightness to work properly?

thx
[Desire Android Development] Nathanf:
Hey all,

I have been trying to use this method to delete mms.apk as I don't have s-off, but I get the signature verification failed error when it reboots into Clockwork. I've toggled off signature verification but I don't know which zip file to apply then?

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Nathan
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
not sure if you up for it, but open up the zip file (defrost rom) with winrar (if ur in windows) and delete the mms.apk (in system/apps) then reflash the rom. no more mms, and no need to worry about signature verification.
[Desire Android Development] Kev23:
Exactly what i did (except with ZipGenius)... works fine. Next time I plan to delete a few more that I don't use... could be interesting.:D
[Desire Android Development] Nathanf:
Ah OK! Seems like a decent way of doing it.

I've got a full nandoid if it all goes wrong anyways :D

Thanks for the help.

Nathan
[Desire Android Development] Tangentabacus:
Still doesn't work after full format of all areas and sd card partition. Is this a gsm only rom? Maybe I've been a tad illiterate... :o
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
afaik yes it is
[Desire Android Development] Nathanf:
Just done this and all is working well with Handcent so far.

Thanks,

[Desire Android Development] :
Battery charge and stats?

Recently bumped up from 6.0e to 6.0i (yay), and I'm having an issue with the battery display.

When my phone powered down because the battery went flat, I plugged it to charge. Orange LED light comes on as per normal.

After a couple of hours, the Green LED light comes on, signifying that the battery is full. I wake the phone (power button, the phone is already on when charging), and at the lock screen, I see these words "charging, 92%". I pull out the cable, lo and behold, 92% displays on my notification bar.

Really bizarre, so plug the cable back in, and I hit the *#*#4636#*#* code, and it shows my battery at 100%. I switch back to the lock screen, and now its at "charging, 93%".

I reboot the phone to recovery, did a battery stat wipe, and rebooted the system.

When it turned on and charged, same thing! Green LED, but 93% and charging.

Anyone experience this before?
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
So Can I do it this way?

In root explorer navigate to system\apps\mms.apk ? <------------ then delete that file?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
yes 10char
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
i see it as the normal behaviour, led turns green at 90%+ but keeps charging up to 100%.
[Desire Android Development] Nathanf:
Seems to be the norm for AOSP ROM's from what I can see? Mine just this second changed to green at 90%, but I know it will happily continue charging up to 100% or around 4182mv

Nathan
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I realised there is a way to stop messaging using so much battery (or appearing to use so much in PowerTutor) without removing the apk.

In Titanium Backup Pro, simply go to "Backup / Restore", scroll to messaging, press (not long press) and select "freeze".

This seemed to work for me, Messaging has gone from 31% battery usage to zero, and I can always use the "defrost" selection in Titanium if I have any issues.

I've not noticed my battery lasts 31% longer, and I suspect it won't, but Handcent is working fine and only using 2.8% of battery.

EDIT: Looking at Juiceplotter, I think I

am

using about 30% less battery when idle now. Obviously when using a battery intensive process like web browsing, the relative improvement is far smaller, to the point of being unnoticeable.

[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
quick question.

I know I have to delete the ext partition before I install this ROM but I was wondering. If I copied the contents of the ext to my PC and then if I need to use my nandroid backup to restore it to 2.1 then do I just re-create the ext partition and copy files back and it will work?
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
i want to try to update my radio to try to solve the problem with the background noise on this ROM, the background noise is only there for the person i am talking to.

Can someone point out a good radio to try ?

Thanks richardtrip for this great froyo port ;)
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
it's not the radio, it's the rom
[Desire Android Development] stingerpl:
Who do You mean by "we" ?

I would appreciate if those are included. Its fairly easy to remove them.
[Desire Android Development] tha-mask:
I've noticed that after about 20 mins my phone in sleep starts to receive mails fine. When its woken and then put back to sleep it does it again and fails to get anything fo about another 20 mins, so perhaps wifi is holding onto the connection longer in sleep mode. Just my 2 pennies worth.
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
Ok thanks.

But have you tried to update your radio and see if it solves the problem according to richard it's not kernel releated.
[Desire Android Development] :
I think we should accept that this is the best its gonna get before an official release, its a fantastic achievement we have even got this far with this rom. We have a 95 percent working rom, so lets be gracious and thank the guys involved instead of constantly complaining of faults....

Myself included;)

Its the best rom for the desire by far, and you should be proud of your work guys;)

[Desire Android Development] abc27:

[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
People with echo problems:

Please test attached update (0.7a-d version only).

This version is an undervolt no overclock version.

I have no echo problems (running the latest radio). If you still have echo problems i can't fix it because i don't have the problem (there has to be a reason for it of course).

They are the only changes to the framework.

The bootanimation getting a boot loop!

The emoticons never worked.

And the notification board is fine for me as it is!
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Sorry, i didn't make it clear. I have changed the filenames completely. They are no longer update-bf-df-60k-signed, but instead Blufrost-df-60k-signed, to make it easier for me to differentiate between blufrost and gefrost on my server.
