I think most of VanillaEclair's users are agree with that. Is there a way to to get back the RC3 version.

It's a minor problem. Your rom is great RaduG. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamesking420:
Thanks for your great work on the ROM. It's awesome and has convinced me to use Vanilla android from now on - I don't really miss anything from sense!

I have a couple of problems.

Firstly, the browser does not reformat the text to fit the screen when you pinch zoom, only when you double tap to zoom. This seems odd.

Secondly, I get really poor battery life :( No idea why as everyone else says they get excellent battery life, but mien only lasts about 8 hourse before needing charge :( I do use it on and off throughout the day to look at twitter etc, but original sense (1.5) was not this bad on battery life....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
I would install a task killer/task manager and see if you have a cpu draining app running without you realising. 8hr battery life is NOT the fault of any of the 3.3 ROMs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linear_craig:
Flashing the Rom now, I might do a review on my site.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idarknight:
3.3RC3 has been a touch better than RC4 on battery for me, but I agree with the others - unless you have your screen on all the time, you should be able to get at least 12 hours with heavy use. I would call my current use moderate (lots of background data, twitter, FB, email, time check) and I get (or would get) 24h.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
This ROM is 100% awesomeness despite the odd little wobble (low frequency wakeup issues mostly) - Thank you so much RaduG. Please continue your fantastic work, or feel free to move onto Froyo!!!

Only thing I miss, is a browser with proper flash support.

@Radug I vote this to AS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
@RaduG

Got 12 hrs of really moderated use today and the phone died. I wiped the battery life and charging for the a full 8hrs tonight. Hope it gets better tomorrow. On RC1 I got 24 hours of good moderated use. Will report tomorrow night.

Cheers and once again (will say on every post) Thank you RaduG for this! If you think about it your providing a ROM with minor bugs that I don't even see) to people you don't even know and your not asking anything in return! To that I saw WOW to you!

For the rest of you well... We can always donate a little of $ for RaduG to grab a coffee so he can't keep going and going and going and going!

Cheers

hey guys, the batt life is good but am wondering, is there a bug in the batt. reporting? 4% in 8 hours is nice.

but after that (me waking up and checking on the phone thrice for email and tweets)

my batt. falls 3% heh.

anyway.. anyone really uses livewallpapers ??

if not, i think chef can sit that one out in the next release. (livewallpaperspick.apk)

bit annoying but easily rmed. :)

overall pretty smooth experience on rc4 till now.

gps fixed almost right away w/o agps on latest radio.

will have to test out navigation later on.

oh yah, i mentioned earlier that data is still not connecting on gsm auto prl aye.

is that fixable?

thanks chef!

will be pushing a 2nd donation when the cheques are cleared on my side ;)

I pulled my phone from charger 25h ago i still have 92% battery left. i use 2g only and use internet services via wifi or enable 3g 1-2 times in hour to check mail and random surfing.

So far this is really best vanilla rom in my use. when bluetoth audion works.. this would be perfect.. meanwhile this is best i have tried.. i use 122/691 MHz via setCPU idon't have any waking problems either. i tried live wallpapers yesterday and it stayed whole day in screen without dissappearing at any point (kept it about 8h just to test those)

Thank you Dev... you did made the best vanilla rom for my use.. :)

bluetooth audio aint so big problem to me i use Carmode app when driving car so all calls are automaticly in speakermode.

i made the move from rc2 to rc4 yesterday.

most of the cpu frequencies are gone any chance to get them back or is there are way to set them or are they compiled in somewhere in android kernel?

with 691/122 my alarm was not able to start playing the sound and i had some fun right now with a kind of horror sound endless playing and i had to pull out the battery before my wife kills me ;)

i had my mobile running with 671/481 before and i had to say even with the high frequency i was quiet happy with the battery lifetime and had no wakeup issues. right now i give 691/245 a chance but i am waiting that my mobile crashes because it does not like the 691.

thx a lot for your time to support us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Yesterday battery was 100%, 8 hours later it was still at 92%.

My Battery is down only 17 % with 6 hours use (was installing apks/playing with the phone) But im using juice defender...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Those of you that have bad battery life must be using some app that does not let the phone sleep. It's the only way to explain your issue. Can you please check with spareparts what app is running in the background? With 15mins of calls, at least 20 mins of browsing I get 3 days of battery life.

@faxe78

This was discussed at least 2 times before. Sorry, but no, there won't be more frequencies available.

@heyodee

OK, I've taken your app into account for the AS package. 10x
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faxe78:
i think i found the problem i used overclockwidget to set my cpu frequency, i removed it, now its a lot better especially the wakeup process from standby is very smooth too now.

cross fingers that its stable too, but i saw that the cpu frequency is not fixed at 691 am i right?

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
No, it is not. The frequency goes up only when needed.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
I love this ROM so much. The battery life is PHENOMENAL compared to all others i've tried. It's like having a different phone.

With JIT enabled, Launcher Pro, Autokiller + Advanced Task Manager (for occasional "End All"), this ROM is practically perfect.

Thanks RaduG :) Donation on it's way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gatsu_1981:
WOOOOOT I can haz fonz

@ Radug

Man, what did you changed in the font management?

Because, I'm a font-holic.

I like tu use different fonts, and every time I change them i got horrible squares after the " ... ", you know, it appears when some text is too long to fit on icons or screen itselt.

Now on RC4, I changed font again (beautiful Palm Pre font, Coconut... Microsoft Segoe WP is perfect too).

And you know... Fonts are working good! No horrible squares after too long app names!!!

I think that previously the fallback for android default font wasn't working, now it is, so missing glyphs get rendered with the default font.

Auto Full Brightness after wake up

Battery left 72% after more than 24 hours (120/690 kernel - default, mobile data always on - 2G, some phonecalls...).

But I have noticed something strange - sometimes when waking up the phone the brightness went to full (even I had it manually set to lowest). I noticed that it usualy happened when I kind of quickly picked up the phone and pushed power/menu button to unlock/wakeup. I have 'Power control' widget on one of my homescreens, so I just clicked it to auto->full->lowest brightness very quickly.

Couple minutes ago I did following: I left the brightness on auto, "shuffled" the phone, woke it up and brightness was OK, so I set it again to lowest (using Power control widget) and since then I cannot reproduce it :-)

Tested also the auto-brightness using my desk lamp (is the light sensor the 'kind-of-a-led-thing' left from the earpiece/opposite from green/amber notify led?), I have noticed that in direct light the button lights go off and when turned the desk lamp off the button lights went on (- this is OK, in both cases immediate action - less than a second or so), but did not see any display brightness changes. Will check during lunch break ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bjarte:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
ok umm.. seems a little bit overkill for me.

anyway,

had quite a few distorted lockscreen for the day using stock RC4

but had no problem booting my phone.

just flashed the LoKernel after wiping dal. cache

gotta wait and see.

a shame to have it at lower on demand and higher sleep :( meh!

on a side note.

anyone have issues reconnecting back to data when enabling

apndroid?

most of the time i gotta do a reboot to gain back my connectivity
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
gosh!i just finish this post.

received a push notifiaction of my mail.

hit the home button to wake phone. BAM! distortion! on LoKernel.

:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gp4004:
I've got the same issue (LoKernel if it helps) :

To make the brightness change (in both ways), I have to make my phone sleep and the to wake it up...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
If I don't use overclock widget on LoKernel, I either get distortions or brightness is set to max when I wake the phone up, pressing end call and then immediately waking the phone up again returns screen brightness to its correct setting.

If I use overclock widget and set sleep frequencies to 245-352, and awake frequencies to 352-576 everything seems to work just great.

Btw, I don't use automatic brightness.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
i dun use the OC widget. anyway

i've reflashed back to the stock RC4 will monitor
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fess2Fess:
Hi guys,

I'm using RC3.4 since yesterday and it's really an awesome ROM. I'm using lokernel and everything go smooth.

My feedback about battery life here, It seems to grow down differently at different stage of charge.

ie It sticks a good time at 100% and decrease relatively fast until I reach 50% then stay at this battery level for awhile and then grow down again.

Though, I reached the 50% after 12 hours on with moderate usage.

Hope this can help a bit:p

To people like me who don't like the default camera app in Vanilla, I recommend "Camera 360" in the market.

I didn't try alot, but It seems better than the stock one imho ;)

Thanks @radu
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] s_yarrow:
Navitel doesn't work. It hangs. This is the only thing that prevents me from using this great ROM.

The first logcat is a failure with VanillaEclair and the second logcat is from Androbin_CR1. It works there.

Please fix.

Auto Full Brightness after wake up [cont]

Did it again ;-)

So received a Gmail new mail notification, quickly picked up phone & unlocked -> screen @ full brightness. Opened mail, read it, closed Gmail, screen still @ full brightness (is set to auto and I don't have 100W bulbs in my office ;-) so it is not so bright here -> no reason for full brightness because of environment). Sent the phone to sleep (power button) -> screen kind of faded out quickly, waked up the phone - screen brightness OK.

I think some sensors are involved into this, unfortunately do not have adb | ddms here @ office.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I've never got the brightness issue, honestly. And I've tested it for several times.

Thanks for your appreciations. I will try to fix the reported issues.

Re: [ROM][Vanilla 2.1][UPDATE Wed 9 Jun] VanillaEclair 3.3 RC4 "E.T. phone home!"

It's not a big deal, even non-blinking trackball is not such a issue IMO. The ROM is really suitable for 'production environment' (=daily use). I'm very glad NDrive navigation works, as summer and vacation are near :-)

There were some requests for the Dialer (is it just the Dialer.apk or has to be with the right Phone.apk? I did not try to replace them yet), that has no buttons on the screen while calling/speaking with someone - yes please, the hold button is way up where my ear sometimes touches the screen :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will change the dialer to the old one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grillian:
That is what I wanted! It's not that bad to press the menu button on the phone to get advanced possibilities for the current call and you won't touch any onscreen buttons with your ear! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
Just flashed and so far it looks very good :D

Just one thing:

Normally I hold the Power Off button for some time to Loch the screen or set it on vibrate,but this is not there anymore?

What is an easy way to set my phone on Vibrate and how to lock the screen?

Richard
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Push - lock/wakeup screen

Push and hold - power options
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vudiq:
If you hold the power button a menu should appear with following functions:

* Silent mode

* Airplane mode

* Reboot phone

* Power off

Silent mode probably deactivates only ringer and notification sounds, does not change the vibration settings. I could recommend installing Beautifull Silence Widgets from Android Market (free) - it has sound on/off & vibrate on/off widget.

EDIT: The widgets are Silent and Vibrate. If Silent is activated => no sound/vibration at all, if Vibrate is activated => no sound but vibrates. It is not possible to have both active, so if you want to switch your phone between a normal profile and a vibrate only profile, you just need only the 'Vibrate' widget on your home screen (the app install both widgets).

To put the phone to 'sleep' (lock), simply press the power button only shortly.

Cheers,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Kitchen, OTA and other 'not 100% necessary' stuff will come after the final ROM. As I'm working alone I'm not able to do 10 things at a time... I first fix what has to be fixed and then deal with the other stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
No need for a kitchen, maybe simply one or two update.zip for those additionnal candies, or even just links to the APKs on first topic so that we know which to download and push :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I personally don't care, I don't bother to download the "Added sugar" package.

I only take the small package :D

BTW, did you read about my font testing?

I know for sure (I always change fonts :D ) that in your older releases (even 3.0) different fonts weren't working very good, since a square appears after the "..." everytime a phrase or a application name was too long.

I think that the android fallback font wasn't kicking in.

It happened to me in Androbin too.

Now it IS working, since missing glyphs from a font are rendered with the android default font, no squares or strange chars.

Good work mate :)

First of all, this RC4 is a very good release. Auto-brightness and notifications work like a charm, and I'm glad to get the old ringtones back!

Also, I just discovered that music player can be controlled with the volume key when screen is off (just old vol up/down key pressed, and it goes to the next/previous song). I don't think this feature was available before.... and it's very convenient :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
I didn't know this one either, but it's nice to have it :)

I just flashed this ROM and I have two strange behaviors :

The market did not start "virgin", when I go to "downloads" I don't just see all my apps, but I see a huuuuuge list of apps being downloaded !! I tried to cancel a few downloads but it's hardly responding (I think it's using all my network, thanks god I'm on Wi-Fi)... Well I'll just let it go and remove the apps I don't need

It's not really smooth, just like it was not overclocked at all. But I'm not sure if it's because of all my apps being downloaded or if there is really no overclock. Is there something special to do ? I understood there was nothing to do, no need for OC widget nor SetCPU, is that true ?

Thanks for your work :)

[edit]Some apps finished downloading and installing and... these are old versions ! For example it just finished reinstalling Launcher Pro at version... 0.4.1 and now it appears as being upgradable in Market oO This is the first time I face this behavior, so strange ![/edit]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The rom is smooth... and it comes pre-overclocked @ 691MHz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
Given it's really downloading and installing more than 60 apps simultanously. Yeah, it's rather smooth in reality ^^

What about the behavior of the Market ? Did it happen to someone else ? I come from Villain10 and wiped data + cache + ext. And before that I used 3.3 RC1, maybe the market can restore himself the apps after a wipe ??

[edit]OMG I just got that message from Market : 80 apps have been partially restored, I didn't know that was possible oO, and by the way : less than 10 minutes for 80 apps... Yeah, that kernel rox :P[/edit]
