[EVO 4G Android Development] kiddecks:
i honestly have no idea. where's that in the settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I just tried... I go to Download ROM. Scroll to the bottom where it says CyanogenMod Nightlies but it's in a section called Premium and won't let me...

EDIT:

I like how he created a whole user to post that... Nice. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
actually, my mistake. i assumed you were using launcherpro. in that launcher, you can change the number of icon rows to 5. on the other hand, if you're using adw.launcher, then is your notification bar auto-hide?

lol i just checked his profile after you said that. now that's taking a dedicated initiative lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Ah, my bad. I bought the premium right after getting CM6 so I didn't know that was locked out in the free version.

Still, it's worth the small price just to have such easy access to the nightlies. It downloads/flashes it right there, easy as pie.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Thanks... probably will eventually. I haven't even used the software for a month yet but I can tell it'll likely be a regular part of my workflow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wagedomain:
My battery life has just completely tanked since RC1. I don't know what's causing it, there's nothing out of place in battery usage stats.

But with light use, my battery will die in about 5 hours. Medium to heavy use, well, let's just say my Game Gear comes to mind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
aw man, now i miss my game gear.... :(

what have you done to remedy this so far?

wiped battery stats? did the full-charge method to avoid the trickle charge? using apps like juice defender?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wagedomain:
The first two, yes. I've also turned off anything that would likely cause drain (twitter, account sync, etc) with no effect.

I've checked my uptime versus ontime or whatever it's called, and they were not even close to the same, which is good. This is a SIGNIFICANT and SUDDEN change, mind you - I used to get 24+ hours on CM6 pre-RC1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Hmm,that really blows. Try using the cm6 snap 4.1 undervolt kernel found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733099
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
You may want to try to recal your battery. Maybe even a couple times.

Also, you may want to try CM Snap 4. I'm testing it now myself to gauge battery performance.

And, you may want to try to flash a fresh flash of the newest nightly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
just like edtate and msmith1 said.. i say try a fresh complete wiped flash and, if the battery still sucks, try the snap kernel. by itself, the cm6 kernel is pretty topnotch, i'm not sure what's causing the battery leak...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Ahh my status bar corners! They aren't rounded anymore!! What happened?!?! PANIC PANIC PANIC!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techrocket9:
Not to sound harsh, but how did you do that? I prefer square corners and would like to know how to get them.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
I have no clue:( i want them back.. The only thing i can think of is going into CyanogenMod Settings and changing UI settings > Status Bar and enabling the battery percentage and dBs
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I definitely don't have that enabled and I have square corners.\

But I'm running the 8/2/2010 nightly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Mine were rounded when i installed.. Maybe it doesnt hold after a reboot for some reason?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
Did you change the wallpaper? If I have stock nexus theme, I have white status bar and rounded. If I switch to a few others, it turns black and lose the round.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Good afternoon! I flashed to CM6 on July 29th, and instead of flashing the posted RC1 from 7/25, I flashed with the 7/29 nightly. I read somewhere that using the nightlies is not recommended for normal use.

Except for the lack of 4G (which we all know about and I don't have available in my area yet anyway), I have not had single issue. I used Fresh's uninstalled apps folder to install the two things I wanted back (I actually watch the Sprint TV sometimes at work, and I like my Spring Navigation), and everything works, no instability, etc.

Is there any reason that I should go back to that 7/25 RC1 release?

Thank you for your time.

Settings/ cm settings/ notifications colors/ scroll to the bottom and make sure custom notification bar is not checked. If its not and yiu still have the squared corners try checking it and unchecking it and then rebooting your phone and see if it works

cm6 issue?

hey how do i erase the sprint banner from the home screen.i did it before with cdma workshop but i had a different rom. now when i try it it does not connect to the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Ah, that explains it. I never noticed since I turned on custom notification bar right off the bat. I don't care though. I like my custom bar and never even knew that default was rounded.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djmend:
Hey guys, I can't get my Google Calendar to SYNC at all with CM6?

I think it actually used to sync fine and after one nightly I manually applied the Market fix, Facebook sync fix, and Froyo audio decoder 'fix' and ever since that day I have not been able to sync my google calendar at all (on CM6 only).

Even after re flashing to a stock 2.2 Rom (to try it out) and re flashing to the latest CM6 nightly I still cannot sync calendar (and yes I wiped). I wonder if there is something on my SD card or something that google is trying to restore (from backup) that is causing this.

My hunch is that hacked facebook.apk that is needed to sync on CM6 is causing the google calendar sync issue. Maybe I will try removing that to see if that solves the problem.

EDIT: Well that did not solve the problem. Removed facebook all together still cannot sync my cal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wvcachi:
Many of us have been using the nightlies without any issues. I think the nightlies give Cyanogen more of a chance to experiment (and risk failure), but IMO, he has succeeded left and right.

In my experience, the builds got faster, crisper, and smoother after the RC1, so as long as you know what you're doing, I'd say knock yourself out! This is a really pure ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ipractice:
Today I decided to install the latest nightly (802), radio/wimax updates, and cm6 kernal 4.1cc and I have to say I noticed a drastic improvement in terms of battery life. I was coming from the RC1 build and previous radio updates, and I was using it for the past week with just aweful battery life even after calibration.

I think the kernel did the most to improve battery life. Overall the latest nightly feels stable so ill stick to that as well. I suggest updating if you're still behind. I didn't do any wipes so it was nice and easy and no problems so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
did you notice any improvement in radio signal ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpqow:
And are you using setCPU?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
A couple of observations, if you will, fellas.

As you may or may not know, I switched from CM6 not too long after RC1 dropped due to the fact that I could not, no matter I did, achieve acceptable battery life. I flashed yesterday's nightly (the second one) in addition to the new radio, the new wimax (though not necessary), Superuser 2.1, the new hosts zip (blocks ads), and Snap 4.0cc. With this combo I have been able to achieve usable battery life on a first battery stats wipe. I'm hoping that as I continue recalibrating the battery over the next couple of days, using the CM6 method, that it improves or at the very least sticks. If you have read any of my posts, you will no that I am a heavy user and battery life is my NUMBER ONE priority. So my saying that battery life is usable, is pretty big, for me. This is without SetCPU, which I don't plan on using at all, and without dumbing my phone down in any way. I still have talk, gmail, twitter, weather, etc. syncing in the background. I REFUSE to dumb down a smartphone. I'd rather buy an extended battery than gimp the hell out of my phone.

Also, for my Nova users that experience a dip in FPS, try the newest Snap 4.0cc in conjunction with NoveFreq to find your optimal t2. If this doesn't work for you, drop a post in this thread. I think I MAY be on to something and I want to see what other people's results are.

Now we can't have pleasure without pain so....

I have noticed that the newest nightly, like the RC1 and several nightlies around that time, drains an above normal amount of battery when playing music with the screen off and in airplane mode. Why? I have absolutely now clue. I know for a fact that I have not had this issue in any other 2.1 rom or even 2.1 stock. Has anyone else experienced this? The funny thing is, I believe that I get better battery life streaming Pandora over 3G, which when you think about it, makes no sense. I'm hoping someone can shine some light on this.

I am still monitoring battery life, stability, FPS dips, etc., etc. so I will be back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devgrp:
Hey you have a link for that hosts.zip file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
What is acceptable battery life to you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i actually get better signal reception as well as better audio quality on calls.

i agree with you on using your smartphone *as* a smartphone. now, what's acceptable battery life for you?

as for using setcpu, why not use it to totally underclock when the screen is off? that will really help. the stock cm6 kernel does undervolt and lowers cpu consumption, but the snap kernel just does it *better* in my honest opinion.

lastly, about battery reporting, i've noticed that (while listening to music), i can drop from 98% to 85% in less than an hour, but i can last between 75%-65% for maybe 3 hours (remember, with music). i tested this today, actually. after some heavy usage, i'm currently at 32% nearing 12 hours. i can ride the rest of the percentage out for the night too. the battery reporting is based on the nexus one, so don't take it too seriously. play with it, push the phone to its limits. i think that's where the battery issues really come to light, and the evo *shines*... at least for me lol.

do report back with your impressions though. i'm very curious.

also, glad to hear that you're closer to figuring out the fps dip issue. :)

help

i just flashed cm6 and everything seems fine except i dont have a market app. how do i fix this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
Man I'm on the same boat. I'm running the latest nightly and I'm testing how the battery life is on stock cm6 kernel and it's not that great. I'm at 51 percent with six hours of use and I posted this comment through my phone and watched the battery drop 5 percent!!! I'm gonna try snap v4 kernel after this, hope that kernel helps the battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I've used SetCPU before to underclock during screen off and I'm not really sure it was doing anything for me. I kind of felt like it was hurting more than helping. I could be wrong. It could be in my head. I have a lot of stuff going on on my phone when the screen is off and I didn't want to underclock the point where the phone was trying to do more with less and taxing the CPU more. I could be crazy. I MIGHT try it again. Not sure.

I dropped from something like 34% to around 21% in about an hour at the gym. On a 2.1 rom, or 2.1 stock even, I would have lost maybe 3-4% in that time. I had this same problem a while back with one of the nightlies. I would LOVE to get to the bottom of this drop as it seems that I'm not the only one to experience it.

As far as acceptable battery life goes, I would like to see a MINIMUM of 3 hrs screen on time and 15+ hours of standby. Right now I am at 2 hours and 11 minutes screen on time with near 19hrs of standby time EDIT forgot to mention that I just hit the 15% mark. I could have squeezed my 3 hours in and gotten less standby time and I would have been around my minimum. This is on the first battery wipe without calibrating. I'm not mad at it and I THINK/HOPE I can reach my minimum or better. Like I said, this is without gimping my phone at all. I have things running in the background, most of this was on 3G, live wallpaper on the whole time, etc. I refuse to gimp my phone. I feel that if you have to gimp your phone to achieve decent battery life, you are really not USING your phone. Like I said, I'd rather buy an extended battery. Which I'm probably going to do anyway. Also, keep in mind, my screen on time consists of A LOT, and I mean A LOT, of browsing, messaging over Talk, text messages, downloading from the market, etc., really using the phone, all over 3G.

That's where I am with that. Still monitoring and enjoying my CM6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devgrp:

You must also flash GAPPS as found in the original post in this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayv1717:
i love this rom but the horrible signal and 3g speeds is really anoying
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Good luck man. Even with minimal usage of the phone (Listening to a hour of music with the screen off, occasional email, texting, IM'ing.) I get around seven hours of battery life before I have to recharge. And that is using the same configuration you are using above plus SetCPU to underclock my CPU when the screen is off and as the battery runs down. Using email, twidroyd, tasker, and a couple different apps in the background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Good luck? I just basically hit those marks. I'm not following.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
So it still has a horrible signal and 3g speeds ? that was the only deal breaker for me on this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] napoleontheruler:
flashed it and market doesnt open. am i doing something wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Just want to add to my run of posts that I do have ATK installed but I do not use it on auto and I barely use it at all. I do use autokiller in conjunction with a preset that I came up with through monitoring the needs of my phone. Autokiller isn't really a task killer in the traditional sense though, it is actually much better, but I thought I'd throw that in there just in case anyone wanted to give it a run.
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
I don't think your goals are possible without an extended battery. I'm glad you are hitting them now and would love to hear your phone setup. Because I am not getting any where near what you are getting in terms of battery life. As stated above I get around 7 hours of total battery time and around 30 to 40 minutes of screen on time before I hit under 15% CPU and have to plug in the phone. And that is with using SetCPU to underclock my CPU.

I just flashed the latest nightly Cyanogen so maybe that is the piece I am missing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This is terrible battery life and something is definitely wrong. I would start out with a fresh flash of everything and figure out what the problem is by adding things one by one. Even when I had what I would consider "bad battery" life on CM6, it was nowhere near THAT BAD. That is unusually bad and I'm sure many people would agree.

Also, as far as my goals go, I smashed these minimums on some 2.1 roms. These are minimums that I have set for CM6 because I know that battery life has not been perfected yet and I have not calibrated it properly yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i actually get 2-3 hours with ~15 hours standby. i'm a bit of a streaky heavy user. i'll blast out a good half hour of heavy browsing/fb/twitter, coast for about 2-3 hours and then go at it again.. rinse and repeat, ya know? i have multiple gmail accounts syncing, fb (1 hour) and touiteur (10 min) widgets updating, as well as fiddling around on xda, and texting, calling, and emailing throughout the day.

i understand what you're saying about the battery drop with listening to music, and i agree the drop in percentage is steep. however, is it an actual drop in battery life? that's what i'm wondering, considering battery reporting is not optimized for the evo yet.

as for extended battery, i have my 1750mah battery as backup, which i've tested to practically last me ~20 hours or so.

all in all, i'm getting to close to what you're getting and want. it's definitely possible. :)

no issues here. i tested with both the leaked 2.2 sense rom as well as cm6. i didn't notice a big difference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] napoleontheruler:
can some one please help me i came from fresh 1.0.1 to cm6 did a full wipe and flashed cm6 the gapps addon. now mu market pops up for second and then closes. can anybody please tell me how to fix this. i also have wiped and reflashed to get the same result.and when i try to sync with mith my google account i get error cant connect to server
[EVO 4G Android Development] Land Master:
I have stayed away from the battery discussion and even poked a few jabs at the amount of posts appearing in this thread regarding same. I was always fine with my longevity and thought most people were blowing things out of proportion. Maybe its time for me to eat a little crow.

The 7/28 and 8/2 nighty's (I didn't flash anything in between) have resulted in a noticeable DEPRECIATION on my end. I have not been as fanatical as most of you guys whereby I have actually kept track of specific stats, but an off the cuff review of my current situation reveals that my phone HAS been on the charger more since flashing the 7/28 ROM.

Now...Something I just thought about was the fact that this was the first time that I flashed without wiping ANYTHING. Prior to that I did a full x3 wipe and even nandroided back to a 2.1 ROM to clear the /system partition. Re-installed everything from scratch.

I will attempt to be a little more diligent in my monitoring and will post results if you feel it will help. I am NOT running any snap kernels or SetCPU. Just a stock CM6 with which I plan on flashing more nighty's over the top of.

Honestly I have put my full faith in Cyan based upon that crews performance so far. I do not believe that he will "leave us hanging" and that every attempt will be made to optimize this ROM.

With that said I somewhat still say that this battery issue is kind of like beating a dead horse. However it is starting to affect me.

One last thing to note is that my 3G speeds have gone down hill since 7/28 as well. Coincidence? Don't know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayv1717:
for me yeah i'm on the latest nightly..i'm stuck at one bar..speeds are 300k-500k which is horrible i used to get 1500-2000 on 3g..once this gets fixed this rom will be perfect
[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
Ill just stay on my current Rom, until this gets fixed. Right now I'm getting full bars or -63db and not worth the change.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxcruiser:
So I've been searching all over for an answer to this for the Cyanogen nightlies, so I hope this is the appropriate place to ask. I'm just not sure if it's a Cyanogen issue or an RTFM problem. ;-)

I'm running CyanogenMod-6-08012010-NIGHTLY-N1 on my Evo, and while my Exchange account works great with syncing mail, calendars and contacts, I don't see any way to search the corporate directory (Global Address List, GAL, etc). I thought this was supposed to be a native feature of 2.2.

I came across post where there appears to be a common perception that GAL support is not part of the native Google Contacts application. Is this accurate for the latest versions of Android 2.2?

The native HTC Sense mail application supports it, so I was curious to find out what everyone knows about the matter.

Again, my apologies if there has been an exhaustive dialog already on the topic. Input would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

By the way, when composing a new email message using the Google Email application, the GAL autocomplete does work. I'm looking for a way to view the contact detail for phone calls... not just sending them an email.
[EVO 4G Android Development] habitual_line_stepper:
I was using the stock rooted 2.2 over the weekend, and before i went back to the 8-2 nightly I did various speed test around my neighborhood as baselines with the stock rooted 2.2. Then i completely wiped and flashed the 8-2 nightly, went back outside and proceeded to speed test in the same areas and the results were all basically the same for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] livpalm:
Thank you, finally more people agree with the 3g issues. When I first bought the evo I loved the full bars and awesome speeds. Once installed cm6 on 7/26 I think it was, one to zero bars constantly. Don't get me wrong, I love cm6 but I need my speed back. Sense is not my thing but if that fixes the issues then I might not have an option. Please look into this cyanogen. We all appreciate your work. You guys are the best!
[EVO 4G Android Development] norkoastal:
Oh ya that DSP EQ is buttery Cyan!!!

Cruisen to an EQ'd Evo makes my ears happy.. Too bad the big Music widgets dont have bigger button or Landscape options, but the swipe on the stock player rocks. Sticking with this beastly ROM for a for a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] warmthsound:
Been wondering if other people have been having the same data/signal issues as me. I thought it was the newest radio, but I guess it's just the nightlies. Bummer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alvintimothyjr:
8/3 nightly is up...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Land Master:
Forget the "bars".... how is your actual speed (using a speed test app)? You say its poor and I believe you but do you have actual numbers?

It is a known fact that the Cyan ROM has less bars than stock so this is not a fair comparison. I also recommend the "RealSignal" app which actually lists out your db strength. But this "strength" may or may not actually have a large affect on your final DL speed.

Before 7/28 I was at about 1.3M Down and 700k Up....

Since that time I am at about 800k Down and 350k up

I've also been noticing slower 3g speeds lately, which is kinda depressing.
