Indie's Omega ROM is pretty close to what I'd consider "stock" 6.5.5. It doesn't have all the TMOUS cruft, though.
[HD2 General] danxtian:
i mean basic windows 6.5 build 23xxx plus sense BUT without any programs in it. or better not is there a way to re-install just the windows 6.5.x [clean] and then add the sense later.

I have followed ever tip and trick posted and it's paying off. I can go a whole day on one charge with moderate use. My advice is try ever trick that is floating around out there. My battery is better than my 3GS. Still waiting for my two extra batteries I ordered 3 weeks ago. Once received I'll be all set.

Wow. That was really useful.

[EVO 4G General] jasongthang:
The same way users in a car forum will chat about their cars and discuss problems and how they fix it, and then updating their thread when a particular fix worked, I think the OP was just excited to know that all those tips are paying off.

As a big group of Evo owners who chat about our phones, we all experience the horrible battery life. It's nice to have some feedback now and then to know that its still possible to have a decent battery life with this phone.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
HHOOOOOO-LEEEEEE FUUUCCCKK! The OverclockWidget has really really really extended my battery life. When I left home from work, I still had about %65 power left. I used it normally as I would (playing Pandora to and from work, e-mail, work e-mail and calendar throughout the day, in meetings checking e-mail for important messages, text messaging, maps, Transdroid, checking my torrent progress, on wifi, off wifi, on wifi, etc).

It is 10pm and I have.... lemme check... 44% power left. I disconnected from the charger at 8 am and refused to charge during the day, so I could see how well the OverclockWidget would operate. I'm not going to charge tonight and see how much power I have left when I wake up in the morning. I expect to have 40% left. I'll report back.
[EVO 4G General] ufkinloveit:
i got the same results plus hard reset and the CDMA prl trick, its mind blowing to me how my phone went from wasting more than half battery in about 2hrs to 8hrs + of life with heavy usage.

check out the results for some in this thread

http://androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting-evo-4g/98062-battery-issue-hard-reset.html in case some haven't tried it already.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Guys GUYS guys

I think overclock widget effect is probably placebo effect

The system already dynamically clocks the CPU

Don't believe? Install OSMonitor and look at the "Misc" tab

Notice the "ondemand" governor scaling range of 245000 - 998400
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
So, I woke up this morning and the first thing I did after getting out of the shower was check my battery. Yep, as I predicted, my battery was at 40% left. I'm at work right now, and I've been in a long meeting constantly using my phone to check e-mails, respond, kill time by browsing reddit and other time-killing-web browsing. It's 9:30 am and I now have about 25% power left and I still haven't charged it this morning. I'm going to see how long I can go before the battery dies.

Yeah, I saw that thread a while ago, but it never sank in. Bookmarked! Thanks for that, I'm going to try to implement the PRL trick.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Is it really? Anybody confirm this?
[EVO 4G General] bigworm460:
For what it's worth

I also did the GSM to CDMA trick with *#*#4636#*#* yesterday and since then my battery life has gone through the roof...Currently I am over 16hours unplugged, with surfing, checking emails, 4g on and off and normal to heavy usage...Whatever that did...it made a really big difference on my phone...
[EVO 4G General] CentroniX:
I have no complaints! :D
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
OK, so at 4pm my phone is about to die. For the past couple of hours it's been complaining about the battery power left. The reminders were annoying, but I'm sure for everyone else they are needed. I have like 1% or 2% power left and I'm going to finally charge it. If you don't know the story: I took it off the charging cable yesterday (Monday) morning at 8am when I was heading out the door on my way to work. I got home and still had a lot of juice left, so I decided NOT to charge it overnight. The next morning (today, Tuesday) I still had 40% power left and now at 4pm the battery has died out. That is now a total of 32 hours of usage time (browsing, telephone calls, e-mails, Pandora, reddit, etc) from normal to heavy usage at times.

Now that I have the PRL trick setup I'm going to charge it and start the experiment again for 2 days and see how much a single charge can get me. I'm going to predict 2 whole days of usage. WISH ME LUCK!
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
How :eek:. I dont get anything near this
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Started a discussion here on whether OverclockWidget is able to do anything about your battery life http://androidforums.com/all-things...nsane-battery-life-40-hours-7.html#post929496

So far I'm convinced that it's something else that's increasing your battery life, not OverclockWidget.
[EVO 4G General] CentroniX:
I have a hardware rev 0003 device, running Fresh 0.2. I keep location services off (until I need it), and wifi on, since I'm typically either at home or the office where there is wifi, and the wifi radio uses less power than the 3G radio. Background data is enabled. In accounts & sync, I have Facebook set to sync contacts once a day, I have turned off the stream sync, and don't run the FriendStream widget. I use Twidroid for Twitter, and have it sync once an hour, and don't use Peep, nor do I have Twitter even configured under accounts & sync. I have disabled stocks, news, and weather from syncing as well. I don't use the clock widget that shows the current weather, as it's always polling too. I have both my GMail and my corporate Exchange e-mails both setup, and both pushing.

That's really about it! Nothing really special. I did get way less than this running both stock roms.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
So, I've started the experiment again. It started yesterday morning at 8:30 am. I went to bed with 59% battery. I woke up this morning to about 55% battery left. I've used it as I normally would. It's 6pm and 23% battery left. So far, NO recharging for about 34 hours. I'm going to happy hour and will show it off more. Let's see if I can make it to tomorrow morning without a charge.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
I went to bed with about 5% power left. I woke up and my phone was dead. I had used it the rest of the night, showing it off, using Pandora to stream music on my way home. I'm very happy that I made it 2 complete days with enough power to meet my daily tasks.

Now, imagine if I had a custom ROM with more tweaking.
[EVO 4G General] blu3g:
Overclock widget will not work in our evo's yet. It's just placebo. Proof? Set the max clock speed at the lowest, and nothing happens. Then take my hero for instance, overclock it and it runs great. Set the speed at it's lowest and that thing can barely swipe from screen to screen. We don't have the ability to tweak our processor unless we are running a custom kernel. Unfortunately the only kernel capable right now isn't fully functioning.
[EVO 4G General] NOLAnuffsaid:
so from my understanding, we cannot overclock the EVO yet. is it possible to successfully underclock the EVO?

i just want to have control over how fast or slow my EVO can go

Yes mine did this when I listened to Pandora over blue Tooth. I took it back to Verizon and they gave me a new one. Said I must have had a bad unit.
[Nexus One General] latyshev:
I've been an iPhone user since the very first one and i enjoyed the experience a lot.

About 2 weeks ago I switched to Android in the face of the Nexus One. Fiddled with it a bit, rooted, CM, now froyo etc. I really really like the Android. It has got its flaws, but boy does it deliver.

The hardware though, i am not really sure about. iPhone 3GS feels a lot more responsive. I can type twice as fast. Touch screen on Nexus just plain sucks. OLED is really nice, but what good is it if i cant use it properly.

It really bugs me. iPhone just looks like an old phone compared to Nexus, but the screen responsiveness drives me nuts. Its ok, i CAN type, but the experience is just so much better on the older iPhone.

:confused:

Obvious specs are amazing, but the devil is in the details. And in the details it doesnt look like Google partners can deliver solid hardware to match solid software.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
welcome to technology

the nexus one a fantastic phone is already 6 months old, its no surprise that it has already been surpassed by its competition. and more then likely another android phone perhaps the new string of droids will utterly surpass the new iphone, and the cycle will continue. No piece of tech is top dog forever, and at the speed that android is moving im surprised the nexus one still beats the increadible and evo in most fields. when it comes down to it, all that matters is which you are happier with, if the only thing pulling you to the iphone is the touch screen you will have to weight it and see how much it means to you
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
I can only type as fast as my fingers will go, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
[Nexus One General] arcticreaver:
Re: Screen: Nexus vs iPhone

[Nexus One General] Erigion:
Take a gander at this: pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/iphone-keyboard-secrets/ (stick http whatever whatever in front)

Specifically this part:

This is why the iphone keyboard is so "accurate" that people can type fast on it. For functionality like this on your N1 try downloading the app ThickButtons from the market.

But yes, I agree that the screen on the N1 can be more responsive Froyo made a lot of things better, but screen responsiveness was not one of them. I find myself tapping the same button twice more often and Swype registering a tap when it should be registering me holding down a letter. But I'm not worried since what I have is just a test version.
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
I've found that the auto-correct and prediction on the stock android keyboard much much better than the iPhone 3gs's so while the screen on my nexus may not be as responsive (I've not noticed) I type much faster on my N1.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, I would recommend trying a few different keyboards in the market. It isn't the screen responsiveness that is holding you back, it is the keyboard. I don't believe the stock keyboard even supports multitouch, while a few in the market do. So if you are typing fast, it can confuse the keyboard when both your fingers are touching.
[Nexus One General] ChronoReverse:
What about Swype? I hear that's supposed to be a nice input method.
[Nexus One General] hexix:
WTF are you talking about? He is comparing it to an iphone 3GS. That is almost a year old.

I switched from an iphone 3G which is nearly two years old and also noticed it was much better at detecting proper key presses and felt smoother when scrolling between home screens.

The home screen thing seems much improved with froyo and ADW Launcher, but the keyboard still seems crappy. I'm using the swype beta now and that is pretty good. It does suck to go back to a 2 year old phone and feel it is more responsive.

I will say though that things like launching apps and surfing the web are soooooo much better on my nexus one.

I was assuming that if he were to go back to apple it would have been a iphone 4, so i was retroactively comparing the iphone 4 to the nexus one, even though he is used to the 3gs
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Yes.. the Synaptics ClearPad 2000 hardware is somewhat crappy. HTC was foolish to use it, but it works fine for my uses. Plus I would take my Android with FroYo on a phone that looks as sexy as my N1 anyday.

And in the future, HTC is going to use Synaptics Clearpad 3000 hardware, which according to reviews and videos, is AMAZING.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
While we're nit-picking, I notice I get a bit of dust in the battery compartment - something I've never encountered with my girlfriend's iPhone 3G.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
yeah i know and all these extra buttons on the phone make it easier to accidentally hit something, never had that problem on my old one button iphone 2g.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
And I hear there is pretty significant battery drain if you are viewing Desktop versions of websites featuring a lot of Flash content while you're playing music off of the expandable SD card while also using Google Maps to navigate in between checking news and weather using another application....

Google really needs to get their act together.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:

[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
well you dont have to worry too much, after you chose which phone you want (i know thats hard enough), no need to fear Steve Jobs will tell you what you can and cannot do.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
stock keyboard blows... however the one pitfall the nexus has is its screen quality... if it had one of the newer maxtouch models this phone would be gold for awhile
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
you mean the multitouch capabilities? or the actual quailty of the picture?
[Nexus One General] latyshev:
That would be very cool. Any word on when its coming out?
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
He said screen quality.... which I thought was marginally phenomenal.

But then he mentioned "maxtouch", which refers to the digitizer. I don't have any problems with the digitizer; it works fine for all the pinch-to-whatever gestures I need, and registers single touches and gestures quite flawlessly. I have no need to put all ten of my fingers on a 3.7-inch screen.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
From what I have heard HTC no longer supports the 2000 series, so (i believe dont quote me) that the incredible and evo and everything afterwards now uses the 3000 series.

Yeah thats what I was wondering, the screen picture is perfect, sometimes i have problems with touch but not often. Most noticeably my problems come when trying to hit the fullscreen button on flash.
[Nexus One General] St.Jimmy!:
Clearpad 3000 in action: http://vimeo.com/5739205

that video is 11 months old... our phones are just over 6 months old... why do we not have that tech in our phones? I would change my screen out as well but im afraid that company got dropped in terms of contract deals i am betting :P

[Nexus One General] codesplice:
Sarcasm is lost on some noobs. :p

Okay, the ClearPad2000 isn't the greatest touch sensor on the market. Of course, Google never advertised the NexusOne as having multitouch support. The specs just state "3.7-inch diagonal touchscreen" - and what do ya know! It's a 3.7-inch diaganol screen that registers touch inputs! Having never owned an Apple product, I can't make a legitimate comparison to that touchscreen... all I know is that I've not really had any difficulty in getting the screen to register the inputs I want to make.

It may be an issue for some, but I can honestly say that it's not an issue for me.

Probably just because I know how to use it better than some noobs.

^^ sarcasm again, btw.

I am running Fresh 2.1.1 and I love it, I tried upgrading to 2.1.2, but it didn't like my phone and slowed down tremendously, even when I did a full wipe. so my question is, since I prefer the vanilla lockscreen and want very much for it to look right on the setup I currently have, how can I de-odex just the files necessary for the vanilla lock fix to work without just flashing 2.1.2? Is this even possible? Any help would be great thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian m:
You'd have to deodex the framework-res.apk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolforfood:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian m:
You can try dumping one of the deodexed framework-res.apk from 2.1.2 into the correct folder of 2.1.1

[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Its probably not built into the Sense build on the device. It used to be, but idk anymore since it isn't required by Android 2.0+

Also, to the people that want it to do something else:

See my post here. My guide is from way back in the G1 days, but all the same things apply here. Just change file names. An interesting use would be to change the search button to a camera button ;)

Or see Decad3nce's wonderful writeup on the functions you can assign here. For the CDMA Hero, again just use your judgement. Use the right files :cool:

Also, my app Search2Play will soon be making it's way to the Evo now that we have usermode system partition access. Check it out here
