[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wlashack:
I`ve tested many many many ROMs (OpenDesire, DeFroST, LeeDroid etc.) and with the last one (OD 2.4a) i had strong battery drain >1% every two minutes in standby, airplane mode! No apps in backround, undervolted and underclocked to 699 MHz.

Today I have flashed radio v.5.09.00.08 and Official FroyoSense from OD Team AND wiped Battery stats from Recovery Menu.

... voila! 3G on, no setCPU, synchronization every 4 hour, everything else same as in OD 2.4a = 3% (average) lost in one hour!

IMHO this is the best radio/rom combination ever had!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweak³:
Where can I download the 42.52.00.32U_5.09.00.08 Radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wlashack:
Right there
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tron13:
After a lot of combinations i find as my best the Modaco Custom rom R3.1 (ECLAIR Android 2.1 OS See Here)

With a patched os kernel ( [KERNEL] UVOC or OC-only + CFQ + ext4 + tun + 8MB hack + Audio-mod (up to 1267 MHz) See HERE

With the Radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08

If you choose this combination you will get -30% of battery after 32 hours :D

What im using to my phone? EVERYTHING... GPS/WIFI/Phone Calls/ Browsing...

Flash The radio first and after all the radio installation steps, flash the rom AND BEFORE REBOOT flash the core...

its a VERY VERY good rom/radio/kernel combination!!!

If this is true it's unbelievable O_O
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
I believe that is a modified 2.1 eclair SenseUI ROM and not a leaked Froyo SenseUI, to which overclocks are available as the HTC kernel source is available to the public.

@tron13: With Eclair-ROM (MCR 3.1) and Froyo-Radio (Radio 5.09) the Video doesn't work...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tron13:
Yes... you have right... im just see it. Video has problem with this radio. I dont use camera or camcorder, and i dont have see it all this days. But i preffet good battery performance from camcorder... i keep this radio
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wlashack:
I can confirm good batterylife, but my phone was very, very unstable. Market installing failures, long bootime, self-rebooting and freezing very often. I dont know where is the problem, phone was wiped completely. So I`ve switched back to FroyoSense. BTW. After 9 hrs of standby with synchro off, i`ve lost 8% of battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smultie:
Little bump here :P

Ever since the latest OTA-update I've been seeing 8% battery drain per hour in standy (which means if I have less than 60% battery before I go to sleep, the phone will be dead when I wake up, mind you: I even turn data-connection off when I go to sleep!), really horrible.

Any of you also witnessing the same?

What radio ROM are you using to prevent this?

I've tried different ROM's (Opendesire, Defrost, Pinky to name a few). All give the same problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ops1977:
Hi,

I'm using NexTSense 7.6.1 with the latest radio and in standbymode it uses about 0.5 % battery per hour. That is with everything switched off and set to manual. I haven't come around to explore how much battery drain the device will have with everything switched on (i.e. wifi, data, gps, sync), so I will have to report back on that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallydamaster:
LeeDroid 2.1

Hi there,

I use LeeDroid 2.1 with A2SD+, latest radio, and I have made a full wipe before installing the ROM.

Everything except bluetooth is turned on in power control, and syncronizations are set to every 1. hour. In standby my phone uses just around 1 % every hour!

:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] System of a pWne!^:
MoDaCo R8 here with the latest radio. Installed interactive governor and set the cpu to only 254 Mhz on screen off. Cpu underclocked to 800 Mhz with screen on. Undervolted mod applied. Toggle 2g installed.

Battery drain is below 1% per hour on idle (up to 3 days) with having trillian running (power save mode enabled) in background all the time. Moderate usage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smultie:
Wow, I used to have the same usage (0.5-1%/hour with screen off).

I really have no clue on how to get it back.... AARGHHH!#@!(
[Palm Treo 750] stupi:
Hi, I am using a Spectec wifi card to receive mails and navigate when i'm at home, and a data gprs connection outside. Since the wi-fi connection does't appear on the connections tab, is there a simple way to switch between them?

What i am doing now, is change the "work network" (which is configured for gprs) to "my isp", which is not configured at all, get a few connection error messages, and then the phone discoveres the wifi and connects to internet. But it's rather complicated and not ellegant at all.
[Nexus One General] austinchimp:
I've been wondering if there's an easy mod to reduce the compression used in photos taken on the Nexus One. I haven't been able to find anything using search, so I apologise if this has come up before.

It seems the files produced by the camera are too small, restricting the potential quality the camera can produce.

We can edit the profiles_media.xml file to increase camcorder resolution and bitrate, so there should be something similar for still photos, right?
[Nexus One General] nocomp:
hi, where is this file?

profiles_media.xml

what did you actually mod in it for vidéo?

thxx

nocomp
[Nexus One General] julkidi:
Found it.. I think !

Was in /system/etc and its name is media_profiles.xml:p

But I still can not see how to change the compression of the photo on my Xperia Arc :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcispcpro:
First off, im running CM6 RC1. So everything Im going to be referencing is based off AOSP.

I finally did some hex editing, and was able to change my progress bar to blue colors by editing the progress_horizontal.xml (thanks to this thread) in framework-res like so:

However, the text highlighting is still orange:

Its Hex code #FF9200 to be exact. I found this value in the AOSP source files under res/values/styles.xml defined here on line 592:

<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">#FFFF9200</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">?textColorHint</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#5C5CFF</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>

I thought it would be as easy as editing that in the framework-res.apk, however apparently the "values" folder isnt there... so i proceeded to load all 118 XML files from the drawables folder into HxD and search for the Hex code 00 92 FF, but found nothing...in any of them.

Has anyone had success in changing that highlight color? I'd love to know where it is that I must look to change that value...and Im hoping it doesnt come down to having to compile AOSP, because i still havent been able to successfully "make" it (even more so complicated by them switching to Java6 with x32/x64 problems).

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
I'll look into this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcispcpro:
that would be wonderful. Please let me know if you find anything! Thank you very much!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcispcpro:
Holy ****, i solved it.

While trying to get this circle battery working on CM6 RC1 for the Evo, i had to DECOMPILE the framework-res.apk, as opposed to just extracting it (done using the APK Manager found here.) Upon decompiling, the Values folder appeared. I edited the Styles.xml here (actually on lines 506-518) to my liking...

<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="textColorHighlight">#ff00ccff</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHint</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff00ccff</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.Inverse" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff0066ff</item>
</style>

and then RECOMPILED the apk, flashed it, and BAM!

OMG this excites me beyond all reason. Im still working on the orange outline that surrounds a link...and ill post again if i find it. Anyway, i hope this could be of help to some others.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] psych2l:
That's slick! Hope to see these in sculpted, thanks for the hard work op.

Introductory price ($0.99) for Power Strip is going to end in 3 days.

Many thanks to all you early adopters!

Many thanks to all your feedback and suggestions!

We gonna make it better and better! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] death1246:
Im not going to lie to you franlee... Ive been using v 1.1.9 of your app for free from some warez forum and today :) Im going to buy the app thanks!

Sorry had to try before I buy... so I used it for a week and Im satisfied so Im going to buy it!

Very useful app and fast! Hope that trasparency will come soon and changing of the dock and stuff :)

Look for my name its close to Frank Card :P Ill be paying for it today!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheMorpheus:
Just bought it, great app!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] franlee:
thanks! sure more customizable factors will come.

you won't be disappointed :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Devastatin:
What the hell is this app? the description online doesn't do it for me.

I'm curious.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joeydsmith:
did you fix the problem with apps on SD card? Every time i rebooted, all my widgets and shortcuts i added would disappear.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adam18488:
its like quickdesk but looks as though its better! gonna buy now and see for myself!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
it has been said before that adding apps with widgets on the SD card would make them disappear.

not just with powerstrip but froyo in general. if you're going to be using the widget, take it off your SD card.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Devastatin:
http://androidandme.com/2010/06/applications/quickdesk-a-beta-home-replacement-with-a-twist/

This makes sense. What's the major differences, I may want to explore this for a dollar ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psypher5:
purchased, hope its good! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
you're not limited on space like you are in quickdesk with one homescreen.

it has an all apps, shortcuts, recent apps, and context panel used to share QR codes of the app you have open,

app info (force stop, move to SD card, etc.), uninstall, and go to market page.

I cant get it to update. I try to update and it keeps saying download unsuccessful.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
one home screen ftw.

same setup here. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Devastatin:
I think if the originating developer made the functionality clearer on the product homepage and market screen, it will help with sales tremendously. With that being said, I'll purchase tonight when i have a reliable internet connection. =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] death1246:
Loving it :) just commented on it too thxs for the great app! cant wait for customization!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
yes, probably so. I saw it on one of kmobs videos and was convinced to buy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] death1246:
Just bought it hope developing doesnt stop! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] negreenfield:
The only issue I have is one particular widget I use in QuickDesk doesn't really work well in Power Strip. And that's Settings Profile, I really like being able to make sure I'm in the right profile by the color the widget displays without having to click on anything. Unfortunately this is not possible to see in Power Strip since widgets are only visible after clicking them in the Widget panel.

Other than that this is a very cool multitasking app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
you can change the startup options to display last used widget or something.

Hi , when my n1 battery goes lower than 10% , the phone will auto power off. this nvr happen on my previous rom ( cm 5.0.8 t3) but only happen after upgrading to cm 6 rc2.. is there anyway to disable auto power off ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karolis:
You can't disable automatic power off, but if it happens at around 10% then you should probably recalibrate your batter as it should only happen below 5.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] h4kudoshi:
Does anyone know if the Music player from 1.5 would work on 2.1? If so does anyone have the apk? Ever since 2.1 was released I am unable to play larger dj sets. At first I thought it was a length issue but now I am led to believe it is a file size issue. I have longer sets encoded at a lower bitrate that play fine, but found shorter sets encoded at a higher bitrate that won't play.
[Vibrant General] Y0d@:
Hey i'm a new guy to the whole rooting scene, and i have a bunch of questions. I have a Vibrant, and the only real reason i see for me rooting is so that i can get froyo ASAP, because being with T-mobile i've realized that we always get all the updates late. Other than that what other reason would there be to root? I read the whole Q+A and watched the videos and blogs and read all these posts on how to root the phone, and what rooting is, but my question is what happens after that? Everyone is talking roms and black market apps, and froyo how would i put any of that stuff on my phone once i've rooted, and what, if anything, is there to put on the vibrant since it's such a relative new phone. As you can tell i'm lost in the sauce and having spent a little over $2000 in the last 14 months on cellphones (Long story, just know i left android with my g1 and went windows mobile a few times, worst damn mistake ever windows phone's blow!!!!), and finally found one that i can stomach without wanting to smash it against the wall, i would hate to do something stupid and be out another phone. Is rooting even for me? I really just want less crapware, no adds, and a little faster performance thru froyo HELP!!! and i don't really speak too much computer talk, i'm an accountant not a progammer. and answers would be very helpful. i'm so confused right now!!!:confused:

P.S if i root, can i get rid of all this crapware that t-mobile has on this phone, and if so, how? And
[Vibrant General] OolonColuphid:
I would try to learn a whole lot more on my own before even thinking about rooting. You can really mess things up if you don't know what you're doing.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Read the first post of the tips and tricks thread at the to. It should clear this up for you. If not, ask a question AFTER reading that post.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
To clarify things: "Rooting" does not give you access to loading custom ROMs. Rooting only gives you administrative permissions to do more things with your phone and access to apps on the market that require root access.

Froyo is not out on custom ROMs for Vibrant yet (don't ask for ETAs either). Some other reasons to root as I mentioned above is to gain access to apps that require root access.

Yes rooting can help you get rid of the bloatware. To gain access to flash custom ROMs, you need to do it thru Clockwork's Recovery, but there aren't any custom ROMs available YET.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Would you dismantle the engine under the hood of your car if you don't know what the parts are?

If you have to ask such basic questions after reading the FAQs, etc., rooting is not for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.

If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.

Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.

http://www.4shared.com/file/yHlfPvuv/fingerprint_froyo.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neurostu:
are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?

What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.

B. Either they install, or they don't.

C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...

This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.

Before:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys

(Market: wtf is this?)

After:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fbrn:
Thanks

This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.

Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.

Thanks so much for this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GMK83:
This will break custom boot animations?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scope666:
Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neurostu:
Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Did they specify what?

Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruffroc02:

Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.

http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chapsizzle71:
To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.

1. Open the Phone app

2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.

3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."

4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mach3te:
I got the checkin successful message but not all my paid apps are showing up still.

I didn't add the files posted in this thread as of yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mach3te:
I am assuming that we install this updated version rather than the one posted initially, yes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Yeah.

Unless you don't care about streaming audio quality.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mach3te:
Installed the updated version, and all my paid apps have shown up once more.

Thank you sir, much appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SifonX:
Well, adrynalyne proves yet again that his is a bamf. Thanks a lot man!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
As soon as I tap the last * the number disappears. What am I doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.

Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.

Just a FYI.

P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mgavina23:
i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

Ouch, yeah, it did. Is there a way to undo this or fix it?
[Desire General] Evvy73:
Hi, I am after a bit of help here after potentially messing up one of my Wife's friends new Desire.

It is on the the Orange UK Network and is their own branded version of the phone.

Because she was saying that the battery life was not very good, I installed 'apndroid' so that she could easily turn the 3G connection on and off and (hopefully!) preserve the battery life a bit more.

apndroid installed fine and turned the 3G off - however when I clicked the widget icon again, it wouldn't switch back on. I uninstalled apndroid and re-booted the phone but still no joy.

I have checked that 'Mobile Network' is enabled in settings and the 'Network Mode' is set to GSM/WCDMA auto.

Does anyone have any hints/tips/tweaks that might re-enable the 3G please? I can't figure out why this has happened. The settings look exactly the same as I have them on my HTC Tattoo and that works fine.

Any help you can give would be hugely appreciated! (And might get me out of the dog house!).
[Desire General] ridecar2:
Check the apn settings. APNDroid changes them from the correct ones to switch off 3G so it should be a simple matter of removing whatever apndroid puts there.
[Desire General] Evvy73:
Thanks for the quick reply - I did uninstall APNDroid in case that was what was causing the problem, so hopefully it would have reset itself to what it was originally.

Anyway, I'll get her to check.

If that isn't the problem would it be worth doing a 'hard reset'? She hasn't had the phone that long so she wouldn't lose much.

Thanks again for the help.
[Desire General] chandalf:
3G on Orange

You could try resetting the APN to default:

[Menu] > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [Menu] > Reset to default

It may be too late for such a simple sort, but it might be worth trying.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
APNDroid disabled your APN by adding a suffix of "apndroid" to your APN. If you uninstall APNDroid without reenabling your APN, it will remain disabled.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Evvy73:
Guys, many, many thanks for all your replies - excellent help and suggestions - better than any 'Helpdesk'!!

The Wife will be contacting her friend tomorrow to pass on your suggestions - hopefully this will fix the problem.

Many thanks once again.
[Desire General] Evvy73:
Guys,

Just thought I'd let you know we have fixed the problem - it was indeed the APNDroid 'tweak' still showing as enabled on the APN settings. To fix this I just created a new APN using the settings obtained from another Orange branded Desire, and hey presto, all working again!

Just in case they may be useful to someone else, these are the default APN settings for an Orange branded HTC Desire:-

Name

Orange Internet

APN

orangeinternet

'Proxy' through to 'MMS Port'

<not set>

MMS protocol

WAP 2.0

MCC

234

MNC

33

Authentication type

CHAP

APN type

default

Cheers!

As title says how? I think WES incorporated something into one of his roms where he moved the data folder to system partition.. Is it just as simple as adb mv or do things have to be modded extensively in the ROM?? Does removing any of the bloatware free up some space or no because its in the system partition?.. Looking to pick up a bit more space ..
