There is no 2.1 rom other then Darchdroid that doesnt have some form of SenseUI tied to it.

Every other rom just deletes the rosie.apk and adds a different launcher, every one of the roms are still based entirely of htc framework.
[Hero CDMA General] cocojr:
I too prefer not using sense

I've been using Ic3rom and I love it easily the fastest rom I've used (Not overclocked or running jit) I love the N1 keyboard too.

But i've gotten like two random reboots today and I don't know whats causing it, might go back to 2.8
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
I like IceRom... with overclock it flies and it doesnt have sense. Currently im using PureHero and its a bit more themed and detailed but still pretty darn fast. Roms w/out sense r definitely faster!

Buufed rom is currently my weapon of choice. The theme is awesome looking and it runs extremely well.
[Hero CDMA General] DevinXtreme:
QFT

Darchdroid is definitely the best ROM I've used. I rarely use MMS, and I can live without GPS (I only use it when I go out of town, which hasn't been often lately). It's true AOSP, truly lacking sense, and truly wicked fast.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
And once you calibrate battery (full charge, use till dead, charge again). The battery on darchdroid is just insanely amazing.
[Hero CDMA General] Jon.StatiK:
There is an issue causing Icerom 2.9 to reboot on incoming calls. I've not heard anything about a fix either but I could be wrong.

On the subject of the topic. Darchdroid is very nice and is the only true sense free rom at the moment. Icerom and purehero are pretty good but it was mentioned a few posts back. They are still built from the htc framework.

Darchdroid 2.7 hands down!

very fast, decent battery life and footprint is small
[Hero CDMA General] reedsw:
Did that and completely disagree. I think, and I have no idea why this is, but the battery life fluxuates between users dramatically. Some say it is the best and some say they lose 10 % of the battery in under an hour. (and let me be clear, I wasn't madly using the phone... it would go dead at 100% charge overnight in sleep) I unfortunately was one of the later and that was upsetting because I liked the effort and result of the darchdroid ROM.

I went back to the PureHero, no sense UI, but not an AOSP like darch is. Still pretty good imo.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Another vote for DarchDroid

DarchDroid 2.7 is nothing short of amazing.

I haven't calibrated my battery since I started using it, I probably will this weekend, but I'm experiencing average battery performance. 12-16 hours with mod to light use.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Why would you have to calibrate your battery after flashing Darchdroid? Just curious.

I mean, I calibrated my battery months ago, but didn't really notice any change. What is it about this ROM that would make it produce such drastic changes in battery life? I guess I just don't get it.
[Shift General] Dsamberlin:
I tried numerous times to install win7 HP on the shift... at times it did not recognize my dvd drive, powered or not, I ended up formatting the hard drive and now I don't have a bootmgr to help install vista back.

Are there any updated streams on putting win 7 on the shift.

Why does the drive show and not show... keeps asking me to install a cd/dvd driver...

Now, of course, nothing on the hard drive and I cannot find the rescue partition to rebott vista... I'd much prefer getting win 7 on the shift...

I even tried using a usb drive...

[Shift General] JaWe:
Vista rescue partition is hidden, thats why you didn't find it from HD, but you can access it by pressing Fn+F9 while booting.

Or you can install Windows 7 from USB-key:

The information contained in this thread is not my own work. It is simply a collaboration of the links, guides, and information I have found on the web as I try and optimize my own Evo battery to maximum performance. This guide assumes that you already have a rooted Evo, if not I would suggest heading over to the developer's section for a guide on that.

Please note I have NOT been able to test out the outcomes of all these guides so the amount of battery you save will be very YMMV. For the most part though, I don't see any of these guides harming your battery life so they are worth trying. My Evo battery is able to last 10+ hours on moderate/high use, and over 20 hours on idle through the help of some of these guides.

Good info!
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
thanks, i'll try the overclock (actually underclock) as my phone sits idle alot throughout the day just synching emails with the screen off so this should help tremedously.
[EVO 4G General] ipractice:
There have been mixed reviews on how well that modification is working. I would say keep a close eye on your battery levels when you attempt this. I tried, and my battery dropped 23% in 15 minutes right after I took it off a fresh charge. I'm not sure if it was the overclocking widget causing this or something else but there has been a lot of varying results. I'll have to test it out again later.

Goodluck to you!
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
It should be noted that the "overclocking" is actually underclocking, which the EVO does automatically. There is no need for an additional widget to control this.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:

[EVO 4G General] ipractice:
Changed the section to be overclocking/underclocking.

Also added Flip's rom to the list, as I've been keeping up with that thread and it seems like a lot of users are reporting substantial performance gains.

Ok so I've never made my own android clock but have the development environment some where.

The story: I have just been looking through the market and can't find any clock widgets I like, so I have done a bit of C++ before and thought I could make my own, I am just wondering if this would be a good app to start with programming for android and how I would go about this using eclipse.

Thanks in advance. Slaming.

[EVO 4G General] agent0014:
So here in buffalo we had the Chase Corporate Challenge this past week. I was pretty excited to have my evo, both for music, and to use as a timer (if you've ever walked/run the corporate challenge, you know that you'll never get an accurate time unless you take time tracking into your own hands). Not being much of a runner (besides occasional run-ins with the treadmill at the gym) I hadn't gone jogging with my phone before, so I was pretty dismayed when my phone started to completely act up on me.

First off, my music kept skipping and going to the next track. On top of that, for some reason, my phone kept going into voice search mode. Lastly I discovered that the route/timing tracking software I was using must have gotten itself paused for a large chunk of my run in the middle... completely losing where I was and ruining any chance at getting a real time for my run. What made it even worse is about 80% of my company is iPhone users... so the whole thing was pretty embarrassing.

I have a few theories that I need to test as to why it acted so flaky... I kept it in my pocket the whole time. After the run when I was diagnosing, I noticed that when I jiggled the headphone plug, the phone would pause/play the music and sometimes go into voice command mode. I can only imagine that on top of that, the power button must have kept getting pressed when it was flying around in my pocket and somehow my thigh was hitting the pause/play button on the lockscreen. As for the route tracking software, I have no idea... it probably got confused when my phone kept doing all the other things.

So this post is partly a rant, but I'd like to know, has anyone else gone running with their phone? Have their adventures been more successful than mine? And what the heck is up with the voice command thing? Maybe it was the headphones I was using sending odd signals somehow through the jack? Does anyone have any ideas there? At some point I want to get a pair of BT stereo headphones, but it seems like even then not all my problems will be solved... Very annoyed.

At least the good news is I think I came in first out of the "XXL" category here in buffalo... if only they tracked the results by weight, I'd be a superstar :)
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
I have no idea if this would cause a problem because I haven't researched how it works, but I wonder if the phone's proximity switch could cause problems when jogging/running.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
You should try and get a waist band thing for it or look for something that you can put it on your arm. Just something that can hold it securely in one place.
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:

[EVO 4G General] biscodude:
I run and bike with my EVO and it has been a pleasure. I recommend using CardioTrainer as your work out recorder. It does a great job and even speaks over your music at set intervals to tell you how far you have in what amount of time. It also auto pauses your workout if you take a break and automatically uploads all of the data to a private website.
[EVO 4G General] JM-PDA:
I went running with my Evo for the first time today.

I strapped it on to am arm band.

It felt a little large at first, but got used to it on my arm after a few minutes.

I played music and also ran Google's "MyTracks" software.

MyTracks uses GPS to log your run and reports all kinds of stats (Pace, Avg moving time, Distance, etc).

I had absolutely no problems.

I agree with other posters that you should try to get an arm band or a belt.
[EVO 4G General] Roman G:
It almost sounds like you were hitting the bottom 4 buttons, but i don't think that is it.

I was listening to music through the headphone jack on my home stereo earlier today and noticed some of the same ****. No skipping, but the song would change by themselves. Happened like 5 times in the course of a couple of hours. Strange.

Just as a side note the BT headphones I have work almost flawless, it's awesome.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
the problem with the headphones jack is that it is like the one for the nexus, and the nexus comes with headphones that control playing (play/pause, skip forward/backward). standard headphones don't have the contact that mediates those controls, so when the jack jostles around, it hits that contact point, and causes the skipping issue. as far as i know, only solution is to use a set of headphones with those controls.

which is why i kept the headphones from the N1 when i sold it.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I would never put my EVO in my pocket when I run. In my opinion, a tight belt clip or an arm band are the only solutions.

-------------
[EVO 4G General] agent0014:
Thanks for all the suggestions. It definitely does seem to be a headphone jack issue, as the phone is constantly getting signals to activate voice dialing. I saw there was a DIY mod on android forums that involved bending one of the headphone contacts... I'm trying to decide if I want to try that or just find a set of nexus-style headphones until I get the BT set (BT stereo headphones are pretty pricey so I need to do research before I just throw down $100-200 on a set).

I could try finding an armband... but this thing is huge. good thing I have big arms? Seems more reasonable than a belt clip though, as I don't exactly have a flat stomach lol... seems that having something there while running would be pretty uncomfortable!
[EVO 4G General] fiveohhh:
How do you run with it in your pocket? Unless you're wearing spandex...

I run with mine but I just hold it in my hand. But I never run more than 5k.
[EVO 4G General] Mbai2:
Definitely a headphone problem. If you have crappy headphones with bad contacts or wires, it will confuse the EVO into thinking you are pressing remote buttons on the inline remote.

Also...how do you run with it in your pockets? That would annoy the crap out of me with all the un-anchored weight and probably some chaffing.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
where can I get an armband for it?
[EVO 4G General] trojandnc:
There are also a number of apps fir the EVO that execute things like skipping songs, taking screen shots, etc by shaking the phone.

It sounds like one of those was running in the background.
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
what exactly does lifting weights have to do with anything? or did you just throw that in there for the sake of your e-penis?
[EVO 4G General] agent0014:
I have normal running shorts but I've been wearing lightweight cotton plaid golf-type shorts for running recently. They're almost as light as the running shorts and they have deep narrow pockets... didn't bother me at all. Of course I also mentioned that I'm a large guy, so maybe all the fat on my thighs acts as a barrier so it doesn't annoy me haha.
[EVO 4G General] theseteeth:
I have the same problem with my headphones. I was so excited to get a phone with a headphone jack coming from a G1 but my pair of 20 dollar Sony ear buds does the same exact thing, if you watch the top of your screen it will occasionally switch from the headphone mode, to a headset, it will make the phone freak out, skip tracks and make the voice search deal appear.

It wouldn't be a big deal if i had to really wiggle the headphones around as i just use it at my desk at work, but any slight movement (or sometimes it happens with no movement at all) will make the phone think its a headset and if you have 2-3 music players installed (like i did at the time) it started the other 2, and 3 songs were playing at the same time and my phone pretty much froze up, i wanted to throw it out the window.

I still love the phone but if i have to buy a pair of those crappy headphones w/ controls i just don't know... i already sold my Zune HD because this was going to replace it but it's not looking good. I don't think "cheap" headphones are causing the problem, this is def a hardware problem and i doubt getting a replacement would help at all.

Hi I use Motorola S305 when I walk.. they are about $40 Dollars and sound loud and clear can receive calls(it has a MIC).

[EVO 4G General] agent0014:
Here's a fun update... I tried a different pair of headphones that I use at my desk at work... and they work like a charm! I went "running" around the office (we're an odd group so I didn't get too many stares) and no skips... kept shaking and jarring my phone and the icon never switched. This plug is perfectly snug... so I guess I'll use them as my jogging pair from now on. I'd say to anyone having this problem, try a few different sets and maybe you'll have some headphones that don't do this.

Probably because it too is another workout situation in which your arms would be moving in a repetitive motion and possible sweat accumulation could cause the same malfunctions that a jogger was experiencing?

On a side note, why are you wanting to know the status of his e-penis?
[EVO 4G General] bhtoque:
You can get an adapter (trs to trrs) so you can use any phones you like without the skipping problems.

Too new to post a link, but something like the Belkin F8Z452 should solve the problem.

I'd also suggest finding a version with right angle plugs, as that will reduce the strain on the jack

Has anyone else experienced stutter in music playback when browsing the web? Seems that the Desire can't handle both playing music from Spotify while I browse pages. As this never was a problem with my old Nokia N82, I'm guessing the problem is with either the browser or Spotify client?
[Desire General] keith-rogers:
Yes, I have experienced this issue as well. I found that if I'm trying to browse the web or send text messages it kills Spotify, in the sense of making it stutter like hell!

I found the best way to avoid this is to try minimise the amount of applications you have open in the background.

Due to the Desire's high spec, and way of dealing with multiple processes, I imagine that this is a Spotify issue, rather than a Desire issue.
[Desire General] waebi:
might be cause after all the tracks in spotify are not stored as mp3 files but are (iirc) encrypted, meaning spotify could use quite some cpu.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nieylana:
as far as i can tell it has nothing to do with with what you did, but rather it's a problem with signature matches, when Phone.apk is modified u have to resign it, and Android on startup seems to check the signatures and can tell they dont match what they should be and thus doesn't let the phone app load, which causes a lack of service... i'm still working on this but i dont know if there is a 'fix'... i'm hoping so. If you'd like to take a look at what i've done so far i have a thread in the main Q&A about custom phone apk on the hero....

i know this doesn't help a lot but i hope it clarifies some things

later today i'm going to try to resign every apk in my system folder... mainly just because i'm out of ideas, but hoping it works... who knows, hope i dont end up with a brick!

also it's important to make sure that if u don't go the update.zip route, when pushing any system app that you either do it from recovery or thru adb with the following commands

adb shell stop

adb push ????

adb shell start

after you issue the start command it may be a while but the phone kinda does a soft reset so ya anywho....
