I haven't flashed any of the CM6 nightlies yet but I remembered reading in (the post linked here) that it might be possible to change the wifi sleep policy to never. So you might look for that in the wifi settings.
[EVO 4G General] Icculus574:
Has anyone had any luck with updating the PRL? I've tried nandroid backups to update the PRL, but it doesn't stick when I come back to CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
i hate to say read read read, but read read read.

there's a lot of blah blah bull that you don't need in the thread, but at least skim the whole thread, or any associated. you will find your answers

that being said, i'll answer your question...

the phone stops charging once it hits a hundred percent. the trickle stops, and it just sits there, using whatever battery it would ordinarily use. it doesn't start charging again until it hits <=90%. so, if you took it off, thinking it was full, it may all of a sudden drop to 97, 95, or 93 even.

it's fine. it's designed that way to protect the phone and the battery. it isn't the mod, it's going to happen on all ROMs
[EVO 4G General] jorgeszabo:
Is this only because these are the nightly builds or will this be the case for the stable version as well?

If I flash the eng bootloader, is there a way to go back to stock? I have rooted via unrevoked 3 and I ask just in case I need to return the phone.

Cheers!
[EVO 4G General] werkem:
i think it would be easier for cyanogen and team if everyone just submitted their bugs and issues instead of complaining about things not working on a beta/nightly build

Either submit the bugs to cyanogen so he and the team can look at them, or dont complain so much and wait on gold/final

I dont see the point about crying about a non official final build

/end rant
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Am I the only one with ghost screen touches?

For example if I'm using the xda tapatalk I will sit there and watchethe screen constantly activatenew topic button in the top left hand corner and nothing is even close.

I haven't had this problem with any other rom except this one and some based on the new OTA..

Anyone have any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Do NOT submit bug reports for the nightly builds. Everyone should know that installing these builds is that its not even ALPHA yet. Highly experimental and a WIP.
[EVO 4G General] herzzreh:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.

** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Cyanogen is awesome.
[EVO 4G General] bauerpower:
can I just say that this ROM is awesome and gets better with every build!!!!!!!!! Thank you Cyanogen
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Can we close this thread just because now there is a thread in the rom section?
[EVO 4G General] werkem:
Ok good point. I guess what i was trying to say is since this like u said isnt really even a beta people need to stop *****ing about things that arent working, gets old
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
wow. can you please never do that again?

so...you'd rather see that thread get filled up even faster?
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
merged threads again...

merged this thread with the cyanogenmod tethering thread. no need to make a new thread to discuss each function of cyanogenmod or any other rom for that matter. please next time find a thread on the topic that you are fixing to create a new thread for and post there. helps us not end up with 30 threads on issues of one rom. thanx

Is the aosp browser really laggy for anyone else? Scrolling is like swimming in molasses.

That is the only thing that I cant stand. I actually like adw alot more than rosie.
[EVO 4G General] erikjonpeterson:
I found flash player slows it down a lot. uninstalled it and the browser is much snappier.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
This thread is essentially discussion of issues and questions. The dev thread should stay a dev thread.

[EVO 4G General] berardi:
I turned off JIT and it's much much snappier. Anyone else notice that?

Flash works great for me I don't think that's an issue, but every time I try JIT it doesn't work very well. Anyone have tips for getting JIT to work better?
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
hard to believe JIT would slow it down. JIT is the reason you're getting obscene numbers in linpack. run it now, and i bet your numbers are halved (although probably still faster than 2.1, because of API optimizations)
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Adjusting the fps with evo switch helped a great deal with the browser sluggishness. evo switch is a nice little tweaking tool.
[EVO 4G General] equinox654:
I just updated to the the latest release and overclocked to 1152 and put it on performance. Getting 52fps with 4.8 stdev

Ive had it awake for a while and the browser performance seems to be a little better. Its still not as smooth as 2.1. I would have thought the sense browser would be slower. Isnt it just a skin and bloat on top of the aosp?
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
linpack scores are irrelevant to real-world usage.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Latest nightly is out! I will be installing in the morning.

-------------
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
agreed, but they're representative of calculations, you can't deny that.

like i said. if you are happier turning it off, by all means, be my guest.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
has anyone experienced random reboots? if so, is it because of JIT? my latest random reboot has resulted in a bootloop. blah.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Probably not. reboots would be because of kernel not userspace
[EVO 4G General] antiphon:
Wow, tonight's build is *noticeably* faster than previous builds. It might even be the fastest stock ROM I've installed to date!

I don't know if people were able to log into seesmic already but I just installed my backup from titanium backup and I was already logged in. Been working great so far
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
Battery life for me is pretty damn good. I was at work all day and had a 2 hour break which I was using heavy internet and market. Phone and texting too. I was at work from 10-8. I left with 70% left.
[EVO 4G General] Oridus:
You using any SetCPU Tweaks or the likes? My battery life is kinda horrid. Then again, im still using the first 7/19 nightly, he may have tweaked battery in one of his two later builds?
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
I was using his first nightly at the time. I had a problem with the phone not sleeping so I had to wipe and flash again until it corrected itself. No setcpu or anything. I don't believe in those things. Only way I'll overclock is by the kernel itself already being overclocked...
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I know we aren't suppose to ask for ETA's but has anyone heard anything about an actual release or something?
[EVO 4G General] drcz_92:
i need help people... i had error on my evo... i flashed the first built, and it worked well.. when i tried to do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.. i got the 30fps cap... and lines iver the screen.. i looked lice when a tv does not have signal... ok.. i wanted to bacl to stock with this program to get back to stock...the program asked me for update to that sprint released on the 28th and 29th in june... but it cuold do it becuade the bootloader was incorrect, so i though i just had to plash and 2.1 rom like fresh.. but when i did that the phone just stay in the white screen (HTC evo4g) and the reboots again and again.... then i tried to flash another rom so i could go a least to the scrren. but error 7 comes out... any idea on how to solve this problem... please

Do a wipe then install Tom.

Install rom*** ....auto correct for the lose....
[EVO 4G General] sweteg:
Battery life is a lot worse for me personally with same settings I've been using for a month now (on the latest CM build). Battery life was pretty decent when I was on the 7/19 build. I watched my phone drop 4% in life within 1 minute. I disabled the Setcpu now and will see if that affects this build.
[EVO 4G General] Topgun966:
NEW RELEASE get it while its hot :D
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Are there any differences between the two nightlies from today?

-------------
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
Based on the issues with the nightlies, its pretty clear why Cyanogen is unwilling to place any seal of approval at this point.

I would speculate something this weekend, but the commits are certainly a beauty to work with as they sit already.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
From Cyanogen's Twitter:

Hopefully this means we should start to see some differences in the nightlies now.

[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
YO, can someone with a wiimote and CM6 running play the flash game super mario crossover?!!

i wanna know if this works or not before i waste money on a used wiii controller
[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
A wii controller will most likely only work in emulators (and they work great in CM6 for those)... but there are actually a few games on the market that also work with Wii controls.

To make it work for Flash, you would have to bind wii controls to keyboard commands... doesnt seem completely unreasonable but it would be a pain in the ass.

BTW, most flash games run really slow in this ROM (and every other Froyo rom). I tried playing "bloody fun day" from kongregate... and it was going about 10-15 FPS. I've all but given up on flash working on phones for now.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
My ghost touch screen issues are definitely fps hack related.

If I install evoswitch and start playing with the setting I can make it worse but I can't find any sweet spot to make it go away :(

I hope it gets figured out or something. I've noticed the values have been different between builds.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
The devs need to stop wasting so much time messing with LCD frequencies. Each LCD screen is different; there is no universal magical frequency. Besides, Cliq does 70 fps on fps2d easy. Evo only gets 57-59 max.

Need to find the real fps cap.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
thanks for the clairfication hydra..

sheesh, sounds like a bummer
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
A very n00b question about CyanogenMod: Whats the deal with CyanogenMod? Is it a ROM?

I get that CyanogenMod is a celebrity here, and he makes great ROMS. This question is EVO-specific.

Is the current evo CyanogenMod "nightly build" an actual ROM? In the instructions it says that you have to download Market and Google Apps, etc. Everybody in both of the "major" threads don't question this because they already get what CyanogenMod is. I just need some sort of basic primer.

Is it a stable ROM? An experimental ROM? A theme? A half-ROM, half-animal abomination? Please help me out.

TIA
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Cyanogen is a complete open source project and builds complete ROMs totally from ASOP google code. He fills in the gap with extensive knowledge. Like HTC uses a proprietary bluetooth stack, so he (they as I believe it is a collection of developers) made their own stack. Anything that HTC makes software wise is NOT open source, so they have to fill in the blanks where they can. That is why 4g isn't working (last I checked)

The current ROM is a ROM but it is not fully released, meaning, there are still bugs in it. All beit, a very very stable and complete rom.

I loaded it up, but frankly I don't see the benefit. I find my phone to be very very fast just running DC 3.2.3. I didn't care for the launcher, I didn't see any speed increase, so I came back to DC. Will probably check it out again when it is a complete build.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Thanks for the explanation. An unrelated question. Does DC have a FPS unlock and JIT option?
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Cyanogen is a well-known ROM developer in the community. CyanogenMod is the name he (and other developers) gives to his ROMs, and each ROM has builds for different devices (Hero, Incredible, Evo, etc.). His most recent release is CM6 which is Froyo/2.2 based, but it's still in testing. Copied this from hespenh at Android Central:

Standard development cycle:

Nightly <-- You are here

Alpha

Beta

Release Candidate

Official

The nightly builds are not really official releases, but are being made public due to popular demand even though they're not considered finished or even stable, at least for the Evo. There are still bugs and features to be added, but the nightlies make it possible to expand the beta-testing group size.

I think that's accurate. :)

[EVO 4G General] nief1313:
Yea... have to flash custom kernel for fps unlock and jit can be unabled by using DConfig(comes with DC)
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Now to totally derail the thread- What Mflops do you get in Linpack with the JIT enabled? (This is so much easier than reading through 500 pages of the ROM thread).
[EVO 4G General] nief1313:
agreed, personally I don't use jit due to stability, but using setcpu(set for performance) and and changing DConfig to performance i get 10mflops. I find it pretty fast and most importantly stable.

I think some have gotten a little over 12 with jit
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
So JIT is very unstable, I gather. Force closes and the like?

Basically, I'm searching for a ROM that lets me use JIT in Sense, rather than using a third-party launcher.
[EVO 4G General] nief1313:
I had some issues with it(only messed with it very little) but several others have found certain setting that work very well with JIT, but I am just too lazy to mess with it.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Why the love for JIT? It isn't really a true implementation of JIT, more like a hack.

What is the difference in phone preformance between non-jit getting 6-8mflops and jit getting 9-12mflops? I see no difference in how my phone preforms. But with JIT turned on, I do get random reboots.

Apps run the same, the interface responds the same (if you have the FPS unlocked)

The only evidence I have seen for JIT is in testing linpack, thats it. But I don't run linkpack, it doesn't do anything but provide a number.

The phone is fast as it is. It is fast stock. The only advantage I have seen to rooting is to unlock the FPS on the screen, that does make scrolling smoother. And wifi tether.

Other than that, I have seen no need for root. Froyo was not that impressive to me either.
[EVO 4G General] seventyfive:
Have you tried Froyo on the Evo yet? I am running Ava Froyo and I have to say it's SIGNIFICANTLY faster than stock or damage control. Everything feels very responsive and snappy.

Other reasons for root are: having the ability to backup your nand, ability to over and underclock, and the simple freedom to at least TRY different roms. Freedom and liberty are important, this includes the freedom to not do something! :)

[EVO 4G General] stewie-droid:
Cyanogen if i may request few features to be added or perfected i would greatly appreciate it.

0. HTC sense included and 4g and rest of widgets included.

It's convenient and looks great.

1. Fixing 4G with 4G stock widget or all widget from htc stock sense.

2. Fixing camera to shoot pictures.

3. Fixing horrible 720p video camera recording quality outlined in this threat, since kernel source is available.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715453

4. % Circle battery life indicator would be awesome shown in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679937

4. Multi Touch Keybord from droid x is not working on 2.2. Force errors.

5. Undervolt kernel as much as possible but with stability and no freezes to preserve battery life. Possible integration of those kernels as they added fps to ~60

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711964

6. Mobile Settings in first froyo release force closes itself
[EVO 4G General] efuse:
No. Learn what cyanogenmod is before asking for stupid "features".
[EVO 4G General] Dsmithjr:
You should look for a different ROM builder. This isn't what Cyanogen does.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
Someone had already quoted that HTC really DID half-ass the HDMI code though for everyone's reference. It only makes sense than all resources are dedicated to the HDMI out when used, and to the screen when not. How retarded. At least it's a simple fix, but by no means important for a functional release by far. I *never* use it, and would sacrifice it altogether for better screen performance.
[EVO 4G General] twe90kid:
i'm currently doing nothing... so if any beta test are needed, i'm ready
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Cyan,

Thanks for keeping us posted. I'd like to be add to your tester list as I always followed AOSP builds with Darchdroid and the Hero community.

And forget about HDMI, I hardly see ppl talking about streaming video using the HDMI. I think a stable WIFI, CAM, GPS, BT working AOSP with Froyo will just do good for now. Implementations can come later :D
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Indeed it would be awesome. Being able to see the entire OS through HDMI would be a KILLER feature!
[EVO 4G General] mattrb:
Don't ask eta ever!! Rule# 1 of cyanogenMod
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
All of the 'frills 'will totally happen in time, that's the best part. For now it's a nice AOSP FroYo base that we're shooting for, and I'll be uber-content.
[EVO 4G General] redditor01:
You can disable Sense on the Evo, on the home screen hit Menu-> settings-> Applications-> HTC Sense, then scroll down and press Clear Defaults, after that's done press home and you'll get to choose between Sense and stock android, you'll get the same home screens and 3D app drawer that's on the Nexus One, but that's it. You can go back to Sense any time.

[EVO 4G General] Dreddge:
Cyanogen,

I dont know how you work so fast, but Kudos! I was ****ting brix when I saw that you were going to start devving on the Evo. Im a huge fan, and loved your work on my G1.

Looking forward to great things from you.
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
So if I read between the lines, does that imply I'm trading the extra features for some stability? Historically speaking, do Cyanogen's roms tend to be more stable than the typical factory roms, or less so?

BTW, no disrespect intended at all - I'm just an Android newbie trying to understand the scope of all this stuff. Thanks,
[EVO 4G General] conflikt:
Qik is okay just sucks you have to pay five extra a month for higher resolutions. But engineering, design, and bandwidth cost.
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
brotips; LOL

can't wait!
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Yes, CM6 is Froyo based for the Evo. I just don't see a speed difference. Now I know its not finished and it will most likely get a lot better, but I just dont see it. But then again, using my phone I never find myself waiting for anything to happen.

Yes, those are also very valid reasons for people to root. I enjoy the freedom of knowing I can do whatever I want with my phone rooted.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
did you wipe before trying to install a new rom? you shouldn't necessarily need to wipe between the nightlies. at least, i haven't. but, if you are putting on a completely different ROM, you should wipe everything.
[EVO 4G General] drcz_92:
i know .. and i did... first when i flashed the 2nd and 3rd built that was released and worked... but with the 30fps cap... then later i got lines in the screen ... (like a tv when its losing signal) ... then i tried to flash the last one i got the error 7....
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
Cyan is not all about speed like other Devs ROMs. Cyan works towards stability first and then adds to it. I prefer stability first because it sucks when you're showing off your phone and it forcecloses on you, doesn't it?

---And...about having to flash the Google apps after you flash the ROM, you have Google to thank for that. They sent out a C&D to Cyan way back in the day saying that their apps (Google Maps, Market, etc) were proprietary and he was not allowed to include them in his ROMs. So, he builds the ROM and you are basically installing a "backup" of the proprietary Google apps yourself.

When the nightly build was released for the EVO, the post here said the Gapps file was optional, but they are in fact required. To be honest, it's better to wait for the official release if you plan on flashing because Cyan will include a step-by-step tutorial from Root-to-Flash as he does with all of his ROMs. People here might know a lot about their phone, but they make mistakes and that could cause serious issues for those that are not practiced veterans at bricking and unbricking their phones. It is better to wait for the official instructions if you have any doubts about what you are doing or what it is.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
The lines are called screen tearing, and using evoswitch would have got you above the cap. I don't know what it is, but the first nightly I've used that i've got constant 54-57 fps, no random reboots, no force closes, no real problems whatsoever. I keep finding myself reflashing back to that first build. I think the best thing for me to do and alot of you guys to do is find what works best for us now, then wait until we get a real rc or even an alpha release. That would really help with troubleshooting problems and not having people overstep their capabilites.
