[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
When you roam on Verizon towers, you will use 1x data, not 3G-- hence the "crappier" download speed. Only way to roam on Verizon's 3G data network is to use a Verizon PRL-- but currently there is no way to modify your PRL with CM.

How many screens?

I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with more than 5 screens and the system becoming extremely laggy. There is a noticable time that it takes to swype between screens with cyanogen 6.1RC1 and was wondering if there is a fix for this, or do I just have to deal with it?

Thank you in advance for your help
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
N.p. I used to do the same..I haven't tried it but I figure after cm gets snapified in recovery don't reboot right away.. Just pull battery and boot back up into recovery then reboot for flawless install..who knows..lol

i noticed that too, but the new nightly seems pretty snappy and responsive right now:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] amdchip:
Was looking at the log and don't see much change between RC1 and nightlies other than adding languages. There was "init: Add permissions for qcom/CAF audio devices" on 11/01, not sure if that would have anything to do with bluetooth or not. I think maybe your just getting lucky so far :) You throwin a dash of salt over your power button before you boot or something. I got a white brick wall after enabling turbo on mine :mad: went back to stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I have tried launcher pro and the built-in adwlauncher and have the same issue with both, i was thinking it was that i possibly have to many widgets, but on the stock htc sense launcher before i rooted the device it worked fine with all 7 screens full then.

not complaining about cyanogen mod just new when it comes to custom rom's and want the best experience i can get out of it.

You are officially a dbag. I have used plenty of other ROMs on my EVO and NONE have had display percentages like this. It is obviously an issue everyone is saying is happening. The display is supposed to use battery, duh, but when display is not on display is using 70%... problem.

Edit: not hating on the ROM @ all just voicing issues so they can be recognized and resolved
[EVO 4G Android Development] RickBaller:
Just for clarification: When your stats say your display has used 76% it DOES NOT MEAN the display has used 76% of your battery, it means your display has used 76% of the total drainage on your battery.

Example 1:

My battery is at 50%. My stats say my display has used 10%. That means of the 50% that your battery has been drained, 10% is from the display. The other 90% of that 50% drain are from other things. This tells you that the other components of your phone are using a lot of power.

Example 2:

My battery is at 50%. My stats say my display has used 75%. That means of the 50% that your battery has been drained, 75% is from the display. The other 25% of that 50% are from other things. This indicates that you're phone is doing well because the power contribution from everything else in your phone has gone down significantly.

The power taken by display is not changing from ROM to ROM. It's pretty much a static amount that depends only on the brightness setting and how long the screen is on. Assume both don't change for yourself from ROM to ROM. When you see the contribution % from the display go up take that as a sign that everything else is going down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i've been trying to put that into words as nicely as possible, to not sound like a jerk, but you beat me to it lol. thanks and well put!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyh703:
I understand this, as my battery is still at 50% (not too bad considering everything I have done with it today). I am just noticing this is DIFFERENT than with any other ROM I have used. Just some tweaks that need to be made, thats all... most roms my display was at 3%, 7% MAX.. 76% seems a little drastic...
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Alright man, we don't need these types of remarks. Tell me this.. what on your phone SHOULD be consuming most of the power. Say you use 50% of your juice. If its only going 3% to your display, what else is draining your battery? You should really consider these things before hashing out my friend, as me and him who you call dbag have been testing this rom since the first nightly and are quite familiar. So how bout you listen, instead of trying to sound super educated on the whole ordeal.

People just don't get it :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] RickBaller:
That's my point....you should be ecstatic. Before your components were draining 90% of your battery (10% display). Now you're seeing 30% components (70% display). CHEER! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] GamerMYJ:
Why is it that when I flashed this ROM, my signal strength drops?

Like, in places where I had signal before (3-4 bars), now its only 1 or NO bars? Loving the ROM besides that :)

to everyone talking about display percentages and battery issues with cpu usage. read this, directly from cyanogen.. you know, one of the main developers of cyanogenmod6-rc1 for the evo......

not to sound like a jerk, but let's move past this and provide more constructive feedback before this thread gets the ax from toastcfh... please? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
With the Display/Battery Drain debate, I think what a lot of people are failing to realize (and it took a while for me to catch on), is they keep comparing CM6 (a ZERO sense ROM) to 2.1 ROMS, which had sense. Within Sense, there are so many other processes running, that they show these other processes taking up battery. Since CM6 does not use sense, there are less processes taking a hit on the battery, which shows the display as taking a large hit on the battery.

Basically, all the little things that listed above Display on the percentage graph for battery consumption are removed with CM6, causing the display to move to the top of the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Bars are calculated differently. Your signal is still the same. Also notice there are only 4 signal bars in this.

Check your dbm to really check signal strength.

Flash zip from recovery. Same way you would a ROM. This will contain google apps (gaaps) which you're asking about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyh703:
standby should be using the most %.. display should not be eating the battery while it is sitting on my desk NOT in use. We also do not need smart remarks from honda police when people are voicing KNOWN problems... not trying to blame things on the user... @Rick Baller .... battery life has decreased so im not estatic but I am loving this ROM otherwise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] epersons:
I'm sure the battery talk is getting or has gotten old, but here is what my stats have been.

After full charge, rebooted to recovery and wiped battery stats. Restarted phone and turned on wifi (not connected), bluetooth, data, high screen brightness, gps. Used phone like normal (phone calls, texts, interwebs) and Pandora. At this very moment, I have been playing Pandora for 2 hours 41 minutes. Battery up time at 16 hours 52 minutes, 7% battery left.

Not sure how good this is, seems fine to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyh703:
thanks for the insight on the NON SENSE (like no sense, as in HTC sense) aspect of the possible battery stats.
[EVO 4G Android Development] T Mac:
All I can say is I've went through hours and hours of trying to get this rom to meet my expecatations. I like Sense, but not totally. I have found replacements for Sense and I am growing to really like ADW Launcher. Froyo is nice without Sense, ONCE you get all the fixes done. Do your homework, update the radio(s), market app, and tweak the launcher to your preference and this ROM is extremely awesome. I was getting many FC's for a while, but I've gotten 98% of those taken care of now with only a very very few from time to time. Can't tell much for the battery life yet since I've been on the phone tweaking it since 8:30 this morning without putting it down. I did hook it up to the charger now but it was far from being low on charge. Coming from DC and Fresh and getting over 24 hours of "my normal" use, I would only expect the same if not more from this NON Sense ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Well standby (for me) uses barely any battery. I sat on standby for 5 hours yesterday and saw a 3% drop. 3G on.

Everyone just needs to remember the difference between this rom and all the sense roms you all are comparing it to is this is not based off of an evo rom. This is not a enhanced rom from sprint. This is a port. And a RC at that. So there will be bugs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Wow.. That seems like a lot to me.. With all those things on and Pandora on top of that, seems to me this ROM is very good. I've been using it regularly, some internet here and some texting there but nothing hardcare.. Haven't given a full charge either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyh703:
I understand that this is not going to be flawless, and I have learned a few things since talking about the battery life. The no sense could be, I am just voicing the changes I see.. I am also coming from a fully devved ROM so I will see 'bugs' but I understand that this is basically still in beta. Im gonna stick with CM6 and see whats good
[EVO 4G Android Development] RickBaller:
And he still doesn't get it......
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
i use folder organizer, the main reason is that it keeps all apps in folders in alphabatical order, and that may be the problem i'm having. I think i might just have to many widgets.

it lowers the memory allocated for apps compiled in dalvik jvm from 32mb to 24mb. for most setups, it gets rid of the lag that people report. lowering it prevents the app to grab more memory, forcing it to garbage collect early on to avoid crashes (or, in this case, lags that lead to crashes). 32mb should be fine for most, but i always suggest 24mb for those who experience lag and app crashes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
Its 6.1 just not a stable release

SWYPED FROM HTC SUPERSONIC
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayblahX:
It seems a lot of complaints about the 6.1 RC upgrade process stem from people who are NOT using the stock kernel. I've been using the stock kernel and have had a positive experience upgrading to 6.1 RC with no issues or hiccups.

On the other hand, battery life has always been a problem for me with CM. I read people's posts about extremely good battery life, and I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Yes, I've wiped battery stats. Yes, I've allowed it to run down to 0% in order to recalibrate. I've done this multiple times in fact. Yet even with moderate use, my battery life plummets minute by minute. For example, last night, I surfed the internet on my EVO while in my bed. I started at 86% battery, and when I put the phone down an hour later, I was at 75% battery life. Perhaps that's normal. However, when I woke up this morning, the battery was at 53%. After 8 hours of idling, with absolutely no usage at all, the battery drained over 20%. Maybe this type of life is to be expected, and I'm misreading statements by others claiming "20+ hours of battery life with moderate use" or I'm just doing something very, very wrong here.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
have you tried charging your battery with a wall charger? or it's entirely possible that your stock battery is just bad. my old stock battery got me 8 hours flat, while the new one that came with my replacement evo (which i initially charged using a wall charger) gets me 25-30 on a single charge, no setcpu.

now that you mention it, i think i might just do my battery tests, but then again, i'm running an experimental kernel, which defeats the purpose... sigh, i'll just shut up now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayblahX:
I searched only this thread, yes. Trust me, if I saw the VVM file posted with your name beside it, I would've downloaded it in an instant. Lesser known users... I might take a moment and pause. Haha.

Shift_, thus far, I've only charged with my wall charger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amdchip:
This probably sounds stupid but did you make sure there wasn't an app running during the night sucking battery. Did you check your battery stats to see what was eating it up? Maybe try setting up a screen off profile in SetCPU

[EVO 4G Android Development] jayblahX:
If you are asking questions like these, it's probably best you didn't install a kernal that currently is NOT supported by 6.1 RC and could risk bugging out. Do some research and then consider flashing a non-stock kernel.

Still, if you insist, the way to do it is to download the kernel, reboot into recovery, do a Nandroid backup (always, always, always!), wipe cache, wipe dalvik (both done from recovery mode), then install the kernel's zip the same way you'd install the ROM's zip from recovery. If these instructions didn't make sense to you, I would advise you NOT to flash the kernel. Why are you interested in Snap 7.6 anyway?

Once you enable turbo and your in the waiting stage do freak out. You may see some force close pop ups like the snap thread says but if you look carefully you can see through the force close window and see the snap progress bar and stages that it is going through before it auto reboots your phone. And again if your installing on this with 6.1rc your phone may also hang on the white screen on reboot. If this happens you will have to pull your bat and try booting again. If it doesn't work just revert to your nand backup.
