Any plans to integrate battery charging tweaks?

Hello,

Thanks for a kickass ROM! I had some trouble with Android System using too much CPU initially, but Calkulin's format ALL sorted it out for me.

I am curious if there are any plans to integrate some improvements to how the battery charges into the stock kernel. This thread is what made we think of it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876590

The developer there has an AOSP version of the kernel, would you gurus here recommend trying that with CM6.1.1, or would it be better to wait until it's integrated into the stock kernel?

Thanks!

So can I do a nandroid backup of my current set up? Then load a sense rom and update prl and profile then restore the nandroid backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CruzECO13:
Thats exactly how its done :D Im doing just that as i type this.

I would wipe data, cache, dalvik as well b4 flashing sense and back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
bingo, right on the button, as a matter of fact all this talk of NAND reminds me to do my weekly backup
[EVO 4G Android Development] tbgreen89:
Well I just did that so lets see if it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CruzECO13:
Same here. Restoring nand now. Ill post back on this if i ever see the switch happen again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] martonikaj:
Having some signal issues here as well. At my house I get a relatively weak signal jumping between 0 and 2 bars depending where you are in the house. But the only difference when on CM6.1.1 vs. rooted stock sense is that CM6 will show a drop to 1x from 3G often, whereas the stock rom will almost never drop the 3G icon.

Could this simply be that CM is being more accurate in displaying the signal? I've just noticed that around town I have never seen 4/4 bars displayed in CM6 and it drops to 1x more than I have ever noticed.

My Speedtest.net speeds are about normal for a weak signal here. .77mbps down/.55mbps up.

I'm going to go over to my stock rooted rom and try updating the PRL/Profile and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] h2o-pr00f:
I could've sworn I updated both while on myns but I will do again as well. Thanks everybody!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwhitman:
The button lights come on when the ambient light falls below a certain levelm (set in software)...and in CM, that level is "pitch black". :D But you can change this.

Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>User Interface>Automatic Backlight

Check "Use Custom", then click Edit Other Levels...

You'll see a table that sets how bright the screen and buttons will be if the light sensor value falls between "Lower" and "Upper". Note that unlike the screen, the button lights are only either on or off - you can't set them to intermediate brightness levels; useful values in the table are "0" (off) and "255" (on).

To turn the buttons on at a given light level, enter 255 in the corresponding cell.

Note that the list scrolls - there are some cells you don't see when first opening this panel. I entered 255 in every cell in that column so my button lights are always on if screen is on.

When you're done, hit the "Save and Apply" button and you're good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] martonikaj:
Well after going back to stock, there were no PRL/Profile updates that changed anything. I was getting 2-3 of 6 bars on my stock rom, which is effectively the same as getting 1-2 of 4 bars on CM6.

Speedtest.net on my stock rom was giving .7 to .9 mbps down and .4 to .6 mbps up. After going back to CM6, speeds were in the same area, hovering around .85 down, and .50 up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] h2o-pr00f:
So I nand back to myns, updated profile and prl. Surfed for about 5 min and everything was Speedy and seemed ok. The display had basically full bars (I know cm is more accurate).

I nand back to cm6 and its still jumping back and forth to 1x. What's next? flash older radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctmay4:
That's the first I heard of that. There is a CM version of it. Gonna try that tonight. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] livpalm:
Not the only one

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this horrible data. Tried the same thing by going to Sense and nothing.

I did hear EVO's were taking up so much data that the average speed was down. Hopefully with 4g working we'll start getting above average speeds. I really don't care about 8 or 10mb speeds, just decent since I'm on my phone all the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stav816:
when will i be able to put this on my hboot 2.02 EVO 4g, if u can now tell me how pls. i tried to follow these steps and it wouldnt load!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
We really need a wiki or at least put this kind of information in the original post on the front page to make it easier to find.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I think that dev posted here a couple days ago and mentioned that he was going to try to make a version for CM. I can't remember who or where it was posted and don't have the time to look it up. You could probably nandroid and then test anyway. Can't hurt... much. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Alright fellas I need to fix my confusion... Update my radios, wimax (even though theres not wimax, but comes in the combo), PRI and NV or not? I see some people have updated and some have not... Everything seems to be running fine without updating... And if I do I just want to confirm, back to sense, flash the update, restore CM nand?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] NonCorp:
Just wanted to toss this out there for all the peeps having trouble with market FCing among other little quirks.

It has been mentioned before, but I have not seen anyone post it in the last few(hundred) pages...

Clockwork Recovery does not seem to be formatting the dalvik cache. I was having the same problems with the market... I uninstalled Market via Titanium, I flashed Amon_Ra Recovery (using ROM Manager), wiped cache and dalvik cache, reinstalled the 11/14 gapps, rebooted and voila! problem solved, Market works without a hitch.

As to the 3G/1X issue: I have seen mine do this, but only when I am sending an SMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drcz_92:
Ok.. Maybe this will help u a lil...when I first got me evo I start testing rooms and all that.. Everytime when I flashed a sense rom I always flashed the radio and wimax .. Till one day When my wimax started to turn on and off. I thought it would get fixed if I did the RUU .. But it didn't work.. I got back to stock rom without root and nothing work.. People say that when u flash radio and wixmax it mess up something.. And that happened to me.. Mmm. I don't thing it's necessary to flash wimax and radio if ur using cm..

Lucky for me I told sprint that the phone was defectuos from the beginning and the changed it without having to call the insurance .. Hopenthis helped u a lil...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Arasin:
I'm getting random screen tearing on the titlebar and in text boxes on screen. Any ideas what this may be? Sorry if i missed it in the thousands of replies in this thread.

Phone specs for those that want to know:

Evo HW 0004

Hboot 2.10

Rom: CM 6.1.1 stable

Kernel: #132 Just flashed this to see if there would be any improvements other than battery life.

I've tried the stock CM Kernel, Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 cfs 950 universal and 4.1.9.1 cfs havs universal with the same problem.

Any ideas what kernel I should be running to fix this or is it something simple I missed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xoreactionzox:
I am on 2.02 hboot he 0004 I used cyan on my old evo and thought it would break the cam on the new one but tried today and works like a charm
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
Same here. Working perfectly.. Once in a while, but very very rarely, I'll get a FC on the camera. Maybe 3 times since I installed this ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
So now I'm having some issues.. I flashed back to sense in order to do some system updates. I did not end up updating my radios or anything. But now when I restored my CM nand, I no longer get voicemails. I have tried clearing data, no luck. Uninstalled and reinstalled sprint VVM, no luck. Any suggestions? Everything else seems to be working just fine including SMS and MMS.

I am on 2.02 hboit and i just rooted my phone using h boot. I didn't use clickwork recovery and kept recovery from hboot. Been running this rom so far with no issues. What steps did you take?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maximiano:
Did you flash the sprintvvm.zip file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stav816:
i used clockwork recovery, should i use original?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edisonalvarez:
Yes try original. What root method did you use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Your 4g may possibly be permanently broken if u flashed clockwork and are on 2.02
[EVO 4G Android Development] stav816:
unrevoked, should i try it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edisonalvarez:
I think hboot uses unrevoked so I would try it. Alway do a nandroid first :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sonwon:
I've been following this thread now for a month. It would be helpful if someone could sum up the pros and cons to this ROM. I know 4G and HDMI do not work but what else can't I do with this ROM that works on sense? Will I have 60 fps? Will I be able to overclock? Etc..?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
It was the original sprint vvm apk that I have been using for months. So to answer your question no I did not flash a vvm apk, just installed it through astro. Weird that this wasn't happening before flashing a sense rom. I have cleared cache and dalvik from recovery, still won't pull my new messages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stav816:
uh i still have my old rom even tho i wiped it warm two point wtfff lol?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
Does anyone remember when u could access ur notification drawer from the lockscreen? I believe @koush had it way back in my dream days. I want to implement it ..any help would rule
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i don't think you can. i haven't seen any setting that allows access to the notification drawer directly from the lockscreen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edisonalvarez:
Try using hboot rooting method to make sure u start fresh. I think iys amin recovery what I have installed. Also try wiping dalvik. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
flash it like a rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Yeah, I realized this too
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Flash this file just like you did the ROM...
[EVO 4G Android Development] njs05:
thanks, also, when i open the browser a pop up appears very quickly and the browser closes, i rebooted to see if that would fix it and it did not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerryparid:
Apparently this problem still occurs when you chance your voicemail provider to google.
[EVO 4G Android Development] looneylu:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I see this was updated yesterday. Will I need to clear my data to update this? Also, does this need the ext partitions anymore?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LP_sk8er:
Thanks for the awesome ROM! I donated to your beer fund! :)

BTW, I did the install for the Sprint VVM. Its working just fine, but everytime the phone first boots, i get a FC on the "Sprint updater (process com.sprint.ce updater)", it never shows up again after the initial boot. Anyone else running into this? Not a big deal since the actuall VVM app is working, just curious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bowser001:
so now that rc1 has been released as stable for everyday use i just wanted to ask if anyone besides me has a dead sd card. i encountered that problem after the first nightly. i finally flashed back to stock by placing the original 1.32 stock rom onto the root of my sdcard an renaming it PC36IMG and going into bootloader mode. the flash was successful but i still dont have sd card. is there any fix for this without me having to wait for a replacement...because even though i managed to kill my sd card i love what i saw off of the first nightly that i will be flashing this 7/25/ release! feel free to im me if you wish. thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonmade:
Okay first thing: Cyanogen yur awesome, like no really yur f**n awesome since yur first nightly I haven't switched back I love froyo too much! Okay now second: this question has come up various times and still no answer; Okay I am coming from yur nightly dated 7/25/10 I want to flash the RC but I just saw a brand new nightly dated 7/26/10...So now the big ?? is which one do I flash yur latest nightly or the RC or both and in what order, also want to know it even matters?

Thanks yur work and all the other devs is very much appreciated :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nondescript Van:

Please start at the beginning and read down some.

It really would help you and the community when you start the with basics and one of them is to start from the 1st page and read through what the OP had to say. It is put there for everyone to read through before asking questions or wondering why something isn't work or something is being worked on.

As you go through rooting your device, customizing your themes and experimenting with new ROM's this basic suggestion will be the key to your successes or failures.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Ive been running this since the first nightly and I just flashed right over the latest nightly from tonight and im getting cannot open camera app. Anyone else have this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisctb:
i did until i stopped being lazy and actually wiped everything :P

a full wipe cleared it for me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:

[EVO 4G Android Development] nonpointtruth:
Aaron, do you have the Galaxy S Beta zip installed? If so, that's what was doing it for me.. I did a cache/dalvik cache wipe, reinstalled RC1, camera works fine now.. I hope someone fixes that Galaxy S Beta for the RC1.. I'm in love with that theme..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Ya I was hoping to be lazy too,lol. Oh well. Wiping now. Hopefully that fixes it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] skittlesV1:
so you never got titanium backup to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
It worked perfectly when backing it up on the same Android version on which the backup was originally made. You have to remember, that if you are using a backup created on Android 2.1 and now are trying to reinstall that backup on Android 2.2, there is bound to be incompatibilities with some settings and what not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
Is anybody else having any issues with the terrible signal or is it just me? I posted last night over the same topic because last night my car was broken into and as I attempted to call 911 I had to redial 3 times until I got through. I was standing outside and I had a very inconsistent one bar that would shoot down to 0 bars at times and as I lay in my bed writing this now I am looking at 0 bars.

i went ahead and installed real signal from the market and it has verified that I am having terrible signal strength...

I'm pretty sure I have the latest radios, not sure how to check though. But when I was on 2.1 roms I never had these problems.

If anybody has an idea as to what may be going on I'd greatly appreciate their input because I really want to keep this rom but I also would like to make sure I can answer and make calls when needed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DanBergundy:
Seems like no one believes this is an issue... Screen cap your signal on both roms in the same place, if they are different, maybe someone will listen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
I just transfered from T-mobile to Sprint for EVO 4G. In general i don't get more than 2-3 signals. But like you i am getting hardly 1 signal with the latest radio and cm build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
None that I've noticed actually. Have you tried the forced roaming mode to see if that helps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kllian:
use an app like real signals to give a more accurate reading than just the sprint bars if you do do this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] unomar:
When I charge my phone at the office I have a tendency to turn on the desk clock app and watch the battery % rise. I know Cyanogen mentioned that the Evo doesn't trickle charge, but I've noticed that the charge rate drops once I get past 90%. While my battery percentage is < 90% it charges at approx 1% per 2 minutes. Between 90% and 100% it slows to 1% per 5-6 minutes. I'm just wondering if the Evo does have a trickle charge, but still cycles on/off between 90 and 100% or if maybe my battery is still calibrating and is charging at the same rate, but altering the percentage as the data increases.

I performed the recommended battery calibration technique after flashing from the nightlys to RC1 so it has had a few days to settle in already and it's not doing too bad (16+ hours with average usage).

Is there any way to make the lockscreen not disappear when you have a pattern unlock set for it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neilkarunatilaka:
Benchmarks

Well, I'm not sure who cares for this, but I finally downloaded the benchmarking apps and gave them a test run on CM6RC1, using the CM6-Snap-V2 Kernel. I will have to rerun these later as the V3 Kernel was released :D

FPS2D :

51/6.33

Linpack for Android :

Averaged around 33-38 MFLOPS

Quadrant Standard :

So pretty decent results. Again, just thought I'd share. My phone specs are in my signature below if you wanted to compare anything.

Oh, and on a sidenote, a coworker of mine got a Samsung Captivate. We ran the FPS2D app and it scored an average of 53-55FPS (can't recall the stdev). ALTHOUGH, its Quadrant score was in the 700's I believe. Didn't run the Linpack test.

Once I load up the CM6-SNAP-V3 Kernel, I'll see if I can get some side-by-side comparisons of this versus my coworkers Captivate :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] WillJitsu:
I have the exact same headset. The call quality with this headset is incredible normally. This definitely has something to do with the Bluetooth modifications done recently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snowglyder:
I just flashed the latest nightly after full wipe. The voicemail icon is gone! Woot! I've noticed the Camera zoom is only 1.7x now also. Weird. My battery was already good (flashed from 7/24 nightly), so can't wait to see how this is!

I noticed that the "Mod Version" in About Phone end with "NIGHTLY-N1". Is that ever going to change to reflect EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
to be honest, voice quality has slightly worsened for me since rc1. i haven't had a chance to fully test it with proper tools and logs. maybe this weekend, i'll get a chance and post it up, unless cyanogen fixes it before i get to it :D

I found something strange I haven't seen mentioned.

When I download objects and check the download list it didn't give an option to clear list. It only had a greyed out option to cancel all downloads (because there were no active downloads)

Even long press on an item only gave option to delete item but not remove from list.

I also have the Pandora issue. Sounds muffled.

Thanks for a great rom though. Its like McDonald's I'm loving it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
Any benefits of the nightly over this, performance wise?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigRick10:
Someone posted this earlier in the thread or maybe a different thread. It seems CM6 signal displays 3G data signal. Not voice signal like other Roms. Like other have mentioned. Download Real Signal and you will see both signal bars and your voice signal should reflect what you see on other Roms.

[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
All are great points. For me, the diaper and contacts that came with an AOSP ROM was the main reason I switched. The camera and the improvements they made to that was the second reason. I was happy to find out the the stock gallery was better than the Sense version.

The speed and battery life have beaten anything I have ever send on a Sense based ROM.
