Hi peeps, I know I have been quiet for a few days, what with work, early starts and no personal computer at work, so I have instead been running an extended "Field Trial". Here's my report

Just as you had released RC3 I received a "Faulty SD Card" warning from my phone so decided to do a fresh install with a freshly formatted SD card, EXT2 512Mb and the rest FAT32. Luckily I had my SD card backed up previously to my PC so my Nandroid and Titanium were all safe.

Wiped "EVERTYHING" absolutely "EVERYTHING" and then flashed RC3

1.This went on like a dream, initial boot did take about 5+ minutes but no problems

2.Setup wizard: I decided to use the 1st option, went smoothly (leaving entering my GMail until after I enabled Wi-Fi)

3.Sync with Google account - Not one single problem

Titanium back to restore APN's, Wi-Fi hotspots Facebook, Seesmic accounts etc., all wnet like a dream

FB sync OK

4. And the biggie for me GPS...., GPS locked within seconds, journey to work on Co-Pilot (yes I know I should know how to get there by now :D) Did not lose GPS sinal not once.

Journey back, Google Maps Navigation, signal locked and agin did not drop once (For that alone another donation will be coming your way THANKS Radu)

5.I have left the Kernal/OC settings as standard

Phone waking from 122 NO Probs, operating perfectly, with no issues regarding green tint some people have exprienced, so for me 122/691 works ideally, (had tried 166/710 on RC2 without any problems via setCPU)

6.BT A2DP still the same ongoinig which you are aware of. Functions work from the headset just no voice/audio

My one concern is I have had unusual battery drain, I do not know if the following has anything to do with this

In Spare Sparts under Network Usage (Total in all time) I had the following Elements

1013

Media

Titanium Backup

Android and me widget

Facebook

Android System

0

Seesmic

A longpress on these will give you details of what they are, however on 1013 & 0 a long press on results in a FC (process.com.android.settings message

Other Network elements displayed are 1014, 1010 does any one know what these are as they seem to take up a large proportion of network time!

If the final release of this is going to be a week away I may carry out a fresh install with minimal apps and monitor, (with apps being installed from the market and not via a backup/restore)

Hi what are the benefits of Compache (What I should ask is what are the benefits to you) I remember having Compache in the days of Teknologist when I used to run MCR 2.8

P.S. Thanks Radu for the Best 2.1 ROM out there IMHO and for MY NEEDS! :D:D:D:D

P.P.S I did have 1 reboot on RC2 while listening to Music, happened only once and I was away from my PC so no Logcat, I will see if I can recreate it on RC3

Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Mon 7 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC3 "E.T. phone home!"

@masterpfa more mem room chief. How many apps you have installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
Ok just to update a bit.

Tested GPS on my way to work. Didn't work the first time, couldn't find any satellites. Closed it and turned it on again 1 min later. Found satellites pretty quickly within 1 min. So I'd say GPS works on RC3! :D

Screen off CPU freq settings for me seems to be ok too. I didn't use the custom freq txt file but instead I used Autodetect in SetCPU. I put Max as 350Mhz and Min as 245Mhz and CPU Governor as On Demand in the Screen Off profile and phone wakes up ok so far.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
things are fine for me on rc2.

one thing.. not sure of its cause.

i went to bed last night with 100% batt and woke up to 94% left.

not too bad but was curious why was it higher drain then the previous night.

i went to spareparts and have a look.

shock to see 98% running time.

so, i opened up my task manager.

and dere, quite a few apps running when i was sleeping.

camera, and a few others that i didnt include in my auto kill list on my task manager.

should these apps that are in the background be draining the batt.?

is the internal task kille suppose to kill them after a certain period of time?

(i have autokiller installed too. and set to optimum will it help if i wew to set it to higher?)

PS. am full wiping and flashing rc3 at the moment.. thanks again chef!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
@heyodee Thanks , I currently have around 66 apps installed, gone are my early days of apps for apps sake :D

Once installed is it a simple case of enabling and disabling from "Spare Parts"?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
here is the thing with apps... as you know, the android market is getting bigger, and more apps, new/better/bad etc added each day. If you methods that helps with apps discoverable, then you are bound to find something interesting and useful

you lost me there? what are u enablin?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
lol the only thing i can think of is compcache

closest relevance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
was beginning to think same, but i tried spare parts, it does not work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
are u compcache-ing too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
nope

is compcaching speed realted?

i feel the default settings are very fast already lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
true, if you have few apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
currently only 46 apps as shown in titanium backup lol.

the boot time is amazing!!

i think am having some unusual draining too...

3% in less than an hour..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Mon 7 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC3 "E.T. phone home!"

Drain is normal here.

Which is better, a directory with a thousand files or a directory with 10 directory each with 100 files?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
the later no doubt
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Mon 7 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC3 "E.T. phone home!"

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Mornin'

Very good, it's nice to see the GPS works fine. But I can't explain the battery drain. I have 2.8% running time :)) . I think some app is running in the background. How can you have 64 apps installed?! OMG. I only use Facebook, Meebo and Opera mini.

Anyway, the "0" process is ddms/logcat, but I don't know about the 1xxx.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
morning chef!

so chef.. do u intent to use compcache? :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I don't use compcache becasue I don't think it is useful on such a low-power device. But that's just me. If you guys test it with RC3 and only see improvements, then I will include it in the final release as default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gp4004:
Hello,

the gps works like a charm, I used it about 45 min this morning while cycling, no problem

I pushed a 3D gallery.apk found on this topic, so far so good.

maybe could you replace the 2d gallery with this gallery for your next release? (I like picasa sync (but I don't remember if the 2D gallery can do it))

Before doing this, delete all your using APNs.

Tested GPS on my device as well and it works. Using latest RADIO (the one released with official 2.1) and I got a fix.

That's good. So GPS is off the working list. A2DP and lights remaining.

Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Mon 7 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC3 "E.T. phone home!"

I didn't install RC2

In 3.0 it worked, but with those settings (wap.omnitel.it) italian Vodafone users would pay 5 euros a day instead of 3 euros a week. And since there's no way of choosing APN *before* the first connection I payed 5 euros. The correct settings should be mobile.Vodafone.it

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
OK waiting for FINAL VERSION)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Things not working as far as I understand it:

1. GSM Auto PRL

2. A2DP

3. Lightsensor/auto brightness

4. LED is only green even long before the battery is charged and I have yet to see another color

5. Trackball-light

6. Incorrect APN-list in RC3 (minor issue)

7. Include ringtones etc from previous release as users have reported the current ones in 3.3 RC3 are distorted etc.

Wish-list (mine anyway):

1. Higher voltage at 245Mhz sleep or perhaps a step between 245 and 352? For us with wake-up problems :(

2. If compcache is to be implented, make it optional through an update.zip or something like that. Not all of us want to use compcache no matter what (or included and some script to enable/disable easily).

3. If possible, include dictionaries for the vanilla keyboard in other languages.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
If I give the CPU more voltage @245 it would be useless cuz you won't reduce battery consumption.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
tat can be done in the newer spareparts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
Are you using any OC app like SetCPU? If yes, try setting the Screen Off profile to Max 352Mhz and Min 245Mhz and put CPU Governor to On Demand.

See if that works for you in solving your wake up problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The CPU governor is on demand by default :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
In that case then I guess those people who's phones can't wake up at 245mhz have to set 352mhz for the screen off profile unless you can come up with an intermediate freq that's a bit higher than 245mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
RaguG,

Could you please teach me how to add /data into your 3.3?

I'm still running 3.0 because I don't know how to add /data to 3.3. With 3.0, I can simply make create /data/app/ and put all the frequently use, hardly updated apps e.g. ShootMe, GScript into it. Then I just add in

delete DATA:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

to update-script and the apps will be there. This way I save some minutes instead of re-downloading my apps from the Market (I refuse to use Titanium Backup because the UI is not that nice).

So, how do I write something into 3.3's update-script that give the same effect as the lines above?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Tried setting 245-352 when screen off but it still happened from time to time. Running 352-352 as screen off speed since yesterday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thezood:
This rom is easily the best one I've tried, definately a keeper. However, when I activate app2sd and start moving apps to the SD, the phone starts acting really weird. The "Manage Application" application quits without FC message when loading the application list and, oddly, the Google search widget on the home screen displays corrupted characters. When I turn off app2sd and reboot, everything returns to normal.

I wiped everything before flashing and I'm using a 512 Mb EXT2 partition.

I have had problems with other ROMs too, with app2sd enabled. I'm starting to suspect that my phone just doesn't like app2sd, if that's possible.

Weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
I see. well if it's any consolation, I've been unknowingly running 652mhz as my screen off frequency for quite a long time already, at least for the past couple of weeks and i did it with all the ROMs that I've flashed that supported OC and batt life in general wasn't that bad really so maybe CPU speed doesn't affect batt life as much as we thought, who knows?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
received a distorted lockscreen after getting a missed call :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
RaduG when will you release the next version? I mean I would like to know if it will be in the immediate future or I should wait for some days... :) Thanks for your effort! I'm looking forward for the final release!! :P---

I use the latest radio (update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01-signed.zip) but in my phone it says 63.18.55.06OH_6.35.15.0 (notice OH not OU). If radio has anything to do with the GPS, i don't know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
+1

edit: nvrmnd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
Note that it's the solution for APNs too, as in system backups, you can restore your APNs from a previous ROM that was working (from this point of view).

P.S: I'm testing this ROM since this morning, and so far the battery life is very far from extraordinary :/ I used 45% from 7AM to 3PM, juste like the other ROMs... Maybe it will be better tomorrow ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big-Kahuna:
I just wanted to report back that GPS is still not working on my phone. I never had that problem with prior VE versions and didn't touch radio since that. Full wipe done before install. I don't know what to do further to solve this problem. Can anyone help me with this?

I had the same problem with another rom (aHero I think).

To make it workI had to reboot the phone with gps on.

SMS Pause

Using RC3 - good work Radu. Seems stable, no weird colours when waking now.

When I go to Messaging (SMS), I click on a message that I want to reply to. Then I tap in the "Type to compose" box, but the keyboard doesn't appear. I have to keep tapping in there and eventually the keyboard comes up. Sometimes it takes 3 seconds, but sometimes it takes 30 seconds or more.

If I "Compose New Message", I don't have this problem. The keyboard comes up on the first tap.

I'm sure it used to be more responsive than this. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
Just tried that, worked great. But I don't use the default keyboard. I use scandinavian keyboard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
If I can't fix A2DP today I think I will make RC4 available because it will bring some improvements related to functionality and usability... We'll see.

PS! DON'T F5 yet

Have been doing some more testing with this. I rebooted, left phone for 5 mins, then unlocked and tried to reply to a text message.
