That's fantastic news...thanks for the update.

I wanted to chime in one the battery chatter as well. Personally, I'm experiencing charge times very similar to 2.1 stock and 2.1 custom, as well as similar discharge times. That being said, I also made a shift from a very widget-y home screen setup with a lot going on to a more icon-y home. I've also dumped Auto Killer and even ATK, as after extensive reading I've learned that they are reportedly even more pointless and disruptive to battery life than they were with 2.1. I realize they seem to work well for some, but they've never really helped my performance or battery life.

I've read in numerous posts that having a lot of battery draining activities, whether they be network or processor intensive, running while charging will drastically increase your charging times. I suppose that may be why my charging times are roughly the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] feeble11:
Just guessing here, but this probably means they very close to rolling out the official 2.2 for the Inc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
Switching back to 1.2 was a godsend. Very, very good battery life again!

Fix for FROYO streaming audio issues was posted yesterday for those of you having issues with Pandora and Slacker..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Linux4me28:
To all those complaining about the sound on Pandora or last fm being poor blame Google for that and at this time they are working on a patch. Has to do something with a new standard that Google trying to start but its up to Pandora etc to adopt it or say screw it. But I can tell you its not the developers fault that lays on Google maybe he can make a workaround but people with stock 2.2 having same problems.

Do u have the hulu app on yours? I installed the 2.2 rom and Its not on mine. I also installed the flash 10.1 from sd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Linux4me28:
Don't need it I didn't know about that but I do know it lays with Google not this developer. That's all I was trying to let people know. I don't need Pandora so I don't care. I stream my music from my computer.

I'm running Skyraider 2.2 with the 1.x.x.x baseband. My GPS does not work nor does my camcorder at any resolution. Also my 3G is substantially slower than in the 2.1 stock OTA. Are these known issues or is because I'm running bb 1.x.x.x? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
For any of the 2.2 roms to work properly you have to flash to the new radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Linux4me28:
I'll be nice compared to others yes your going to have problems this question FYI had been post about 30 times so check the older post ov the problems.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] vbhines:
Yes...the latest baseband is 2.x.x.x...go back to the start of the thread and read through all the instructions. Because you're already rooted, there are *very specific* procedures to follow for getting the 2.x.x.x baseband. The start of this thread I believe links to yet more threads that explain this process...read and follow those instructions to the letter as well...

Will the installation of the new kernel require a full wipe? Or can it be in the form of an update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
I added kernels to ROM Manager. Right now there is just the stock one and another with CIFS & TUN support. Do not full wipe when you install these. They are only the kernel and supporting modules.

The newer ROMs will come later today and the install scripts will be updated to avoid the issue with installing the ROM after obtaining s-off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
Yea, the battery life is starting to get to me now. I'm using the vanilla rom and I love the rom otherwise. I don't use FB and got rid of all widgets(minus beautiful widgets clock), i even keep my brightness as low as it can go but I can still watch my battery drain by the minute. I stopped using ATK as well. Just not sure what else I can possibly do lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
You've pretty much answered your own question. It's because you didn't upgrade the radio.

From the OP:

...and then there are the 126 replies in this thread that mention the radio, most of which underscore the fact that the radio must be updated in order for everything to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
Hey, I'm still new to the whole rooting thing, Not exactly sure what the kernels are for. Should everyone download them or are they for something specifc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Kernels are responsible for overclocking (among other things). I would wait to download any kernsls, because new ones are most likely coming.

Also, please only flash kernels for our phone , as other kernels will brick (that happend to me last night with my friends phone..i accidentally flashed a kernel from my phone on his and it almost bricked....i pulled the battery before it installed, so i guess i saved his phone)

But kernels are useful. We already have kernels but the custom kernels give cool features like overclock

WIFI stuck on scanning

Hey guys, I installed Sky Raider 2.2 vanilla and everything is working great except for my WiFi. It connects fine to remembered networks but when im not in range of a remembered network it sticks on "Scanning" and never finds new connections. I search through this 200+ page thread and found some post similar to mine but they were in regards to Sky Raider 1.9. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, I have the new radio installed.

Edit: Well the connection was AD-HOC.. thats why I couldn't detect it. My apologies. The stuck at scanning part was because there were no other wireless connections in range.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
CIFS is for sharing files over the Internet and TUN is for OpenVPN. So if you do not need either, then no need to flash them atm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
Thanks for the answers. I get excited anytime I see something new to download LOL I should probably start being a little more cautious considering I have NO CLUE about anything.

Ha ha me to, sit back and read the thread..you will become learned real quick!

Just as long as you are downloading from the droid incredible pard of the forum and read ALL directions on how to use, what is required pre-installation, and how to install, download as much themes, roms, and kernels as you like, just remember to read instructions and download from here!

And please ask questions.

Appreciate the noob support :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] destovel:
Just out of curiosity, are we gonna need to do a full wipe again? and if we do, can we use titanium to do a data backup so that we dont need to reset up our individual settings or will that cause issues?

Im referring to the newer roms... obviously not the kernel stuff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Heres a question for you regarding SkyRaider 2.2

What bug fixes are already implemented into SkyRaider??? The reason im asking is that there are Heap Size / Streaming Audio Fix / Market Fix / Gmail Fix etc Patches coming out all over the place for the Froyo update... i was wondering if i have to flash Skyraider 2.2 and then also flash a patch file ontop of it or if all those bug fixes everyone keeps talking about are already built into the 2.2 release and i dont need to do anything at all
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Okay, standing by until the new ROMS are released. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
The new ROMs do not require a full wipe if you are running 2.2 but you can use Titanium to backup all of your settings.

All of the fixes are included in 2.2 except Gmail which is available in Goodies. The new streaming audio fix that was just posted hours ago will be included in the new ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
when i saw the unrevoked tweet about the usb brick i quickly did a nandroid and uninstalled skyraider with sense. i really like your roms so just to be clear with the new roms that are coming out today this issue is fixed and i will be able to use the s-off tool while running your rom? also what is CIFS & TUN support? thanks also so i can just restore my nandroid of skyraider with sense and flash the new over it without wiping and it will save all settings? i saw where this was asked but just wanted to make sure i'm clear. thanks again

Why do so many people have issues with the skyraider 2.2 rom? WiFi not working, gmail sync issues, battery drain problems ect ect ect?

My guess would be different people have different apps and mods that may conflict with certain things. I too had no issues. But I'm not really one to search for bugs either. Threads like this can get large to the point where questions will be asked repeatedly.

Just wanted to thank you guys for an awesome ROM. After all those ludicrous low phone storage bug problems in the stock 2.1, this was my first Android skyraider ROM and has been stable for a solid couple days nowof consistent use no issues for me that I've read some people are having...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NellyG:
Also, to add on to your comment. People that are new to rooting are not aware of the radio upgrade. I fell in the same category. I rooted and went straight to Skyraider's ROM and had lots of issues. Ever since I updated the radio to its proper version, it's been nothing but smooth sailing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IIDIncII:
okay a couple of questions and ill be fine after this lol.

1.) When i download goodies 2.2 should i already have skyraider 2.2 on already? When i did this last night all my phone kept doing was re booting and you can imagine how that booing animation got annoying after 10 times lol. Or did my phone keep doing that because i try downloading more then 1 "goodie?"

2.)Is there a way to keep all your app? I hate having to re download ALL my apps after i flash a new ROM. anyway to do that?

3.) Whats the new update going to have? :D

ALL help is appreciated Greatly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Just to be clear. The Unrevoked tweet was redacted. The issue with the usb bricks is NOT a problem with SkyRaider. It is an issue with clockworkmod and update-scripts. The reason for the warning from Unrevoked was because the usb brick happened while flashing SkyRaider. The problem exists while installing the ROM and not having it already installed. All I am doing to fix the problem is recreating the install script using an update-binary and updater-script instead of an update-script with clockworkmod.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
Thank-you for clarifying that. I look forward to flashing your new release tonight.

Has anyone else tried the streaming audio fix with this rom? I installed it earlier and it did fix the audio issue for pandora, but now some videos on hulu have very distorted sound.

unrevoked v. SkyRaider -=- Teamwork FTW.

The latest tweet regarding SkyRaider and USB bricks (which we know is a clockwork issue, *not* a SkyRaider issue):

At 1702 ET 8/11/10:

/snip/

@tehozzeh I no longer believe the issue I posted about earlier is specifically linked with SkyRaider, we're going to keep looking why it happened.

/end/

It's great that unrevoked is working diligently to get "forever" perfect before they release is, and it's also just wonderful for the community that they've acknowledged they jumped the gun, that they've been working with ihtfp to resolve the binary issue (which ihtfp has told us earlier today he's doing).

This is how you turn an error caused by an abundance of caution into a positive for the community: no infighting, no chest pounding, just professionals working quietly, together, behind the scenes to provide he community with the best and most solid releases around.

Personal kudos to ihtfp and to the unrevoked team for getting past whatever differences, if any, may have initially existed in order to get SkyRaider and Forever read to rock and roll tonight (hopefully)!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
its back on for tonight? s-off i mean.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
That's the /forever page. Looks like they're still having problems. Hopefully resolved soon though!

yea i saw that but the last line of your post was deceiving. i hope its soon though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheColorRed:
Edit: Read your post wrong. I just realized the Hulu problem is happening with me also.

On another note, I heard SpareParts gives you the option to turn off Screen Rotation on the launcher screen, but I don't see that option.

Is there a way to turn off the automatic screen rotation when not in apps?

Yep, just noticed the same issue - Hulu is not playing nicely with Dolphin Browser. The video is playing but the sound is playing really sloooooow
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
I just saw your post asserting mine was "deceptive". Since I take my words seriously I went back to read my post several times. I don't see anything deceptively in my post, just a screencap of /forever and my personal hope they fix their issues soon. If I'm missing anything here please let me know. The last thing I want is to be perceived as deceptive. Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
not a big deal dude, i promise. you said "tonight hopefully" so i thought you knew something i didn't because last i heard it was up in the air thats all. i don't perceive you as deceptive, i'm sure it was entirely unintentional or i just misunderstood you. don't dwell on this or read your post anymore. cool :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
I really think now is the time to separate the two into two different release threads... There were many posts about Vanilla that had nothing to do with the Sense version that will simply start confusion amongst newer folks to the scene...

By all means, they are two different releases really, not one.

:cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doctor Butts:
So if I've already flashed skyraider and want to do it again, I shouldn't have any brick problems if I didn't have any issues with clockwork before, right?

I just realized that I'm flashing a new ROM, NOT the recovery. Sorry for the post.

I have seen nothing as to why this is....Is it the radio or is it just Froyo??? Any fix? As far as I can tell, Facebook does not come on Vanilla. So fix won't work.

Can I use SetCpu on this rom, thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jakewill:
Easily fixed, non-issue bug.

First off, thanks for these awesome Skyraider ROMs, updates, goodies, and kernels!!! Your effort here is really amazing, and I LOVE running Froyo with all the mods and tweaks (Mobile hotspot, Hulu, Sense)! THANK YOU ihtfp69!

I am running Skyraider 2.2, and I have most of the goodies, along with his latest kernel from ROM Manager, the latest Audio/32M fix (not sure that it was needed, but it worked fine), and the latest Hydrakernel v0.9 1.152GHz Overclock/overvolted. (Whew, that's a lot of nerdy jargon... who am I kidding, I love it!)

My problem I had was with the Power Control Widget. When I would hit the individual icons, they wouldn't light up (green) and darken when activated and deactivated. Either they would stay one color or be off, or sometimes be correct - very sporadic... Anyway, I tried trashing some of the icons and found that all my icons were duplicated. I had to throw away one of every one of my icons and widgets on all 7 home screens. No biggie, that fixed the issue, but nevertheless, it exists... I also don't know which I started having this problem, it all happened so fast!

Hope it helps!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SeanRinVA:
Yes - I do, and I've only set a profile of Screen Off...clock down to 245MHz. This has dramatically increased my battery life. I did this because I read earlier in this thread that the CPU doesn't clock down in "rest".

I don't mean to be a doubter but do you have proof that setcpu is working on this rom with the normal kernel? I'm just not seeing it..
