Nice man, same here, Slackware before Debian, I think I still have the original media on an old 106mb HD somewhere floating around my parents house. Always wanted a cube myself, just never got the chance to pick one up. A friend of mine from a local University hooked me up with my pizza box.

I started out on an Adam Home Computer - A Colecovision/Tape hybrid machine running on an old revision of BASIC. It's a shame that the young kids out there have no idea where any of this came from.. I came from the days where having a computer meant knowing how it works... They should really make the fundamentals required learning at this point. At least I know that my kids will grow up knowing more than 'Facebook, Twitter, and Google are the internet', hopefully respecting it as a luxury, not a necessity, but that's a long-shot.

God I feel old, but I'm only 30!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghostyroasty:
Well after using the nightly for the past couple hours, I've only noticed a couple things noticeable.. Let me know if there are any fixes that I may have missed.

Facebook contact sync.. I see some contact pictures, but a lot are missing. I thought that this was fixed in one of the nightlies?

I've been getting frequent FCs on Beautiful Widgets...

No 4G yet.. But doesn't matter since I'm rarely in a 4G area.

We have 720p, but not high quality like a few other phones will be getting.

Am I about right?

Btw I love this rom! I got slowdowns in Fresh's latest for one reason or another... This one has been running without a hiccup!

Check out Vignette in the market. It's a replacement camera app that offers that feature plus tons of others, including effects, etc...

Must be an issue with ADW. Just tried the same thing with LP and had no issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
For now I'd settle for it being as functional as the bravo/aria/nexus/etc. heh. Features can come later... functionality first. Good idea though.

well, in that case, it should be in the widget list. i haven't tried damage or baked for that particular piece of info, so i can't comment for sure. but if they use it, it should be there if you add a widget.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BB15:
I've had pretty good battery life since the last several nightly builds. With light to moderate use I'm currently getting around 20+ hours (8/4 build with stock CM kernel). With heavy use, probably somewhere in the 8 - 10 hour range.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
They made some great fixes to the wimax radio in their latest update. I flashed a rooted version of Sense 2.2 just so that I could then flash the radios, and let me tell you that I am thoroughly impressed with wimax now. I used to barely get over 6 mbps with full bars on 4G and around 1 mbps when there was one or zero bars of 4G. With the updated radio, I see 12 mpbs with full bars and 3-6 mbps with one or zero bars. It is amazing!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jd0819:
ok good so i should be ok if i flash the latest nightly then.. i keep trying all other roms with supposed battery life and even tho im getting about 10-12 down with 4g i cant seem to pry myself away from cyan..i dont need to re flash when i dl a new nightly right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beesneazy:
That's why I miss that 4G! :(

Does the latest nightly produce better battery life than the RC? I don't want to necessarily say it's terrible, but it obviously isn't the best. Not complaining. Only curious if the latest nightly is just a ways ahead of the first RC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kuderized:
I am... Lower strength and I even dropped a call this morning at my house. I have never done that before. Also, my battery drained overnight. The phone was off this morning when I woke up. Never done that before. I flashed yesterday afternoon with the newest 8/4. Did a full wipe. I'll keep playing with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
Is it by design that voice signal isn't displayed, or is this a bug that will get fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BB15:
This could be a major contributor to poor battery life. Just sayin'....;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I heard that Netarchy's newest kernel is really nice. Hoping Cyan can pull some from that. FPS reports look mean!
[EVO 4G Android Development] drumstyk1:
Forgive me in advance if this is a stupid question. I am new to all this and I am still learning my terminology. I tried searching but i am not getting the right keywords to find what I'm looking for.

I LOVE this rom in every way but i do miss the T9 style dialer that was on 2.1. Is that the sense dialer or just the eclair dialer? I was trying to figure out how to enable this t9 functionality on froyo but then I read about cyan's stance on sense, which made me think that (if it does have to do with sense) looking for options to enable it are futile. I found a suggestion to use "dialer one", downloaded it, and i like it fine but i can't seem to figure out how to make it my default dialer. I can add the shortcut to my homescreen but i can't direct the phone button on the dock to go to dialer one. I have looked through the adw settings but i can't find anything related to it.

To sum up my questions:

1. what is the proper name of the t9 dialer? (sense, eclair, t9, etc.)

2. Can i enable/install this dialer onto cyan's rom (please dont hit me if it's sense)

3. If #2 is a NO, can i make the phone button go to "dialer one" instead of the normal one?

I hope that all makes sense. Please let me know if i can clarify anything.

Crud, now I feel really old at 40. Also had a Ti99/4A and a Spectravideo CP/M machine. Very first computer I programmed on was this teletype machine that connected through a 110 baud modem to a mainframe and outputted everything that would go to the screen to a thermal roll of paper. Started programming cobal when I was six. Crud, time has flown by.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
There are some dialer apps that will do this. Dialer One is free from the market and works like this. I personally like hitting the search button from the home screen and start typing a name. It searches through your contacts, apps, or just does a google search. Also, in menu>settings>search you can change what kind of items it searches for. Pretty cool android function IMO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trentonhawk:
Before I got my Airrave from Sprint my signal strength was very low at my house. This made my battery life awful. Since I have had the Airrave for about 2 weeks my battery is much much better due to the phone not having to constantly search and strain to get a signal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
1. Is "cm_supersonic-08052010-024154.zip" the most recent cm mod to flash? (there's no reason to d/l the md5sum.txt file as well, correct?)

2. After the phone's rooted, can I just change the file name to update.zip and flash it just as I used to do on the G1?

3. What else should be flashed after the CM mod? like a more recent radio, recovery image, etc....

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
1. Yes that's the newest

2. I'm assuming you could but that doesn't make any sense to do that and is a much longer process. Use rom manager from the market to install or use the recover to install

3. Flash gapps and radio images

Please read the first post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735596

Anyway, once you're NAND unlocked (the first post tells you how to do so), you can flash it using either Clockwork or the standard Amon RA recovery, which I use. And you don't need to rename the file...just put it in the root of the sdcard. You gotta also flash Google Apps. You can update the radio/wimax if you feel like, not necessary. The first post should explain it all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
Hahaha, nice. Hey, don't feel bad, I'll be where you are before I know it -- Time flies like a mofo anymore. I wish I was old enough around pre-2400bps days, but alas my first 'internet' account (other than standard dial-up BBS') was an OSF/1 shell account for 5 bucks/mo, so it's neat to have had my first internet experience be something useful, not just 'pretty applications over SLIP/PPP' like the rest of the world started dipping into in the early 90's.

Time surely is flying :( But at least we have these cool little toys that only keep getting better and better!

Sorry for the O/T everyone, we needed some 'back in my day' time, hehe.

In other news, my wife's Evo is dying in ~4 hours with stock/rooted 2.2, so that's going away TONIGHT. I just hope Cyanogen can toss out RC2 by then, I'll have to drop him a message and see where it's at. It's not like either of us need HDMI until it's useful (HTC's implementation is a joke), and WiMax isn't even here yet.

[EVO 4G Android Development] unomar:
1: No idea, but it's a sense dialer so it won't work on CM6

2: No

3: You can reassign the action buttons in ADW by dragging any launcher icon onto it. So longpress and drag the DialerOne icon on top of the existing phone icon and you should be set.

I have a hypothesis that I'm going to test in regards to the excessive battery drain when using the evo as a dumb mp3 player.

I'll report back when I come back from the gym.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
please do.. i usually do the dump mp3 player on my commutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
hehe, nice. I'm glad there's a lot of the younger guys out there that can appreciate that stuff, even if only a few years younger :) a lot of the folks my age were starting to fall out of 'knowing how stuff works' as it was -- too busy with grunge and whatnot I guess (as if i wasn't too, haha).

+1000, I wish that guy would get suspended, this is utter BS, I come in here to get useful info about the thread's subject, not some private 1-on-1 help on rooting your phone...

Sorry but this crap just really gets on my nerves.
[EVO 4G Android Development] e-motion:
Would be nice to get this thread back on topic...

Anyway, I wiped everything just to make sure some leftovers from previous nightlies weren't to blame, but the acore process for ADW crashes are starting to drive me nuts, has anyone been able to succesfully get rid of those permanently (and please don't tell me to switch to Launcher Pro) ? Please do tell.

Update : So I found out some interesting "hint" here... Just for kicks, I installed a senseless Froyo ROM with Launcher Pro. So far so good. Then, upon installing a Scrollable Widget for Contacts (which is the one used in CM6 I believe), guess what happens : constant FCs of Launcher Pro... Could anyone on CM6 right now uninstall or rename the Contacts widget and let us know if that gets rid of the ADW crashes ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
launcherpro FC all the time too
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
A huge chunk of these ACORE crashes were due to a bug fixed *I THINK* post-RC1, but don't quote me on it. Are you on RC1, or a nightly? It looks like you're on nightlies, so to be honest, it's got to be ADW. Sorry... grab a logcat and toss it up if you can, I can probably clarify for ya.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slag02:
Check it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
Oh ffs, thank god. I can't imagine why it's not really affecting me though... What type of drain are people seeing? like... 4-5 hours and then dead, or what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] e-motion:
Not on the ROM I'm currently running, so something is definitely going on with CM6...
[EVO 4G Android Development] doriansoto:
as far as the FC's go, i've gone into SETTINGS > CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS > PERFORMANCE SETTINGS and changed VM HEAP SIZE to 24m.

This has helped me go about a week without a FC
[EVO 4G Android Development] pastert33:
I haven't had one FC from running launcher pro! The only real problem I've got is when I click on the internet tab on LP, theres a huge lag. I push on it and then it prob takes a sec or two for it to launch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
yea, with the new fb update, it killed my battery from the usual ~16 hr charge to about 9 hrs. completely ridiculous..

also, not seeing the fc's with adw that you guys are talking about. maybe i'm one of the lucky ones?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techrocket9:
Edited to nothing. My bad. Ignore this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I can't wait for RC2 tonight.. I wonder what type of changes will it have.. ^^
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
I have this problem on mine with ADW and also have it with my Nexus One. I think it's a bug in froyo. I notice it mostly when there is flash content on the last viewed page. HTC sense roms don't have this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uoislame:
I've had 0 FC since I started using the first nightly. I've used every one since. I just recently started using LauncherPro over ADW, but still no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] e-motion:
That's weird, I always had that problem, on every nightly. I also wiped everything before the 08/04 nightly, and it FCs way too often.

Do you have the horizontal app drawer set or the regular, vertical one ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
Yeah, I mentioned the facebook battery problem yesterday. I turned off notifications in the facebook settings, and my battery life improved dramatically. Spare Parts has also verified this because it no longer shows Facebook taking up so much battery in the Partial Wake usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Back from the gym where I tested out my hypothesis on excessive dumb mp3 player battery drain. Unfortunately, my results are pretty inconclusive. The other day, I lost 7% in 40 minutes. Today I lost 5% in 40 minutes. The 2% difference is really not enough to draw any conclusion from.

If you are experiencing excessive battery drain from using your phone as a dumb mp3 player (airplane mode with music playing) and you want to test what I tried to see if it works for you, try disabling the lockscreen music player controls. This is what I did. I am very curious to hear what you guys get from trying the same thing.

I DO however, have another hypothesis that I'll try tomorrow at the gym.

I really want to get to the bottom of this because I plan on using my evo as a dumb mp3 player often and I don't want to switch off CM6 if I dont have to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
have you tried to wipe /system manually? solved a lot of my FC issues

I really like the hideable dock in ADW but I cannot live without the ability to hide apps from the app drawer in LauncherPro. Before I would have around 3-4 pages of horizontal scrolling apps, now I'm down to just over 1 page (so I scroll normally).
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Where did you read that RC2 would be released this evening?

I am hoping for 4G in this release. The new wimax radio makes a big improvement on speed and reception.

[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
you're running stock kernel with stock frequencies?

i'll try it out tonight when i go to the gym. i use mixzing with the lockscreen though. i'm not sure how much of a difference it'll cause since, without it, i would still have to go into the app to change skip a song, requiring more screen on time.

i'll post up my results later as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Snap 4.0cc. No SetCPU.

The lockscreen thing really might not do anything at all. Im just curious to see what other people's results are.

I'm going to try out another hypothesis. Maybe tonight if I get the time.

I basically just want to get to the bottom of this asap. As it is now, I couldn't imagine using CM6 to listen to music on a cross country plane trip. If everything remained the same, I'd probably loose 60% battery life!

So the new facebook has a bug causing battery drainage confirmed by them. I have the new facebook, but I'm not noticing it drain any faster than normal... Could the same bug type be always be affecting cm thus drainage seems normal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
At the end of the day, I'm going to have to plunk money down on the 3500mah battery but, I'd still like to find out what is causing this. Battery drain is battery drain no matter what battery you are using.
