I believe I saw an app that was able to turn off the auto-updating of apps somewhere in here.
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
Hmm I wonder whats taking so long.. Maybe brut's just out of time? or on vacation :-)...

Maybe its possible to "brutify" maps 4.5 ourselves by merged bmaps 4.4 and gmaps 4.5? There arent that many under-the-hood changes between those versions are there?

It would require google maps 4.4, brut maps 4.4 and google maps 4.5 decoded apk's... aaand some hours of Jolt-drinking, wich my local stores unfortunaly stopped selling..

edit: posted some days ago at original thread by brut.all himself;

Asking for ETAs is usually irritating, but I didn't release anything for long time, so it's ok people want to know about status of this project.

So: I have ported all my changes to 4.5.1 yesterday, but navigation doesn't work. Seems they have added new navi availability check in 4.5.1, but I think it should be easy to hack. Then I will add simple modifications to caching mechanisms and brut17 will be released. There will be 3 versions: normal; with renamed package name; renamed and with brut-tagged icons/names.

Unfortunately I will be away on the weekend, so I will work on it on next Sunday or Monday.

So by the looks of it, he'll do the job for us squid :-) just like he said a month ago..
[Desire Android Development] squrl:
Didn't he meant *without* brut tagged icons/names? I somehow fail to see the difference between "with renamed package name" and "renamed and with brut-tagged icons/names" :)

It's cool to hear Brut.all didn't abandon the project anyways :)
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
I agree its a bit confusing, but yay anyway :-)
[Desire Android Development] Brut.all:
It may be confusing if you get used to brut mod, but if you think about original maps, then untagged icons/names and com.google.android.apps.maps package name are "normal". So:

"-brut17" - all logical modifications, but with original package name and icons/names

"-brut17-renamed" - same as above + package name changed to brut.googlemaps

"-brut17-renamed-tagged" - package name changed and icons/names tagged

I will describe this well in the first post of mod thread.

[Desire Android Development] ljesh:
Can someone make a update.zip?

Or probably this apk doesn't work, since it doesn't want to install like the ones before...
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
It works excellent, the signature must be different then stock Maps. I had the 4.5.1 modded installed on /data/app and it updated.

Remove the Maps.apk from /system/app, rename this to Maps.apk and copy it back to /system/app. OR just remove any Maps installed and install this after.
[Desire Android Development] Ambious:
Can't touch /system/app/maps.apk :-( Says it's read only.

(I can't start in recovery because I have HD2).

update: also tried putting the modded Maps.apk in

sdcard/android/root/system/app/k

which should place it there instead of the default one at boot.

It did, but installation is still a no-go ("not installed").

I'm gonna try one last thing, putting the "maps.apk" in

sdcard/android/androidapps/

which should auto-install it at boot.

I'll update when I see what happens.

update 2: no go. Nothing can get this installed :-(
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Well, you have a HD2, which makes it a bit different than us usual Android users.

Im not familiar with the flashing and **** on the HD2, but you could replace the Maps.apk with the modded version in the ROM file, before you flash the phone with it.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] Ambious:
edit:

Got it working :-)

What I did was completely remove original maps using ADB:

adb remount
adb shell "find /system /data -name *com.google.android.apps.maps.apk* -o -name Maps.apk | xargs rm"
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

After that installation went on without problem. Sweet :-)

You don't need a zip. Uninstall the normal Google maps and then install brute maps. Very simple

It's very easy to use a .zip. And if you often flash google apps for CyanogenMod e.g. it's very practical to just flash the .zip direct after that.

[HTC Aria General] mmazza:
Hi.

I just rooted my Aria and everything is going great. I installed an Overclocking widget that has a function to underclock when the screen goes off, but when it comes back on, the phone is so slow that the reset to proper clock speed takes forever - this annoyed me, so I removed the app.

The problem is, it still does it. Is there anywhere I can look to find out where this function resides and remove it so that the phone never changes its clock speed? I know its kind of a weird question. I went into Superuser Permissions and set the Overclock Widget to "DENY" hoping this would stop it, but it keeps it up!

Also, since installing the Liberated_Aria rom, my phone constantly disconnects from Mobile Wireless. If I go into settings and turn MW off and on, it works fine, until the next time the screen shuts off. Any ideas what might cause this? I doubt its related to the ROM, it just started happening around the time I flashed.

Sorry, Im pretty new to this stuff. I will clarify where needed if my explanations sucked.
[HTC Aria General] h0llyw00dj0e:
Your not going to be able to underclock without a kernel that supports it.
[HTC Aria General] mmazza:
ah ok, yeah, sorry, Im pretty new at this stuff and dont know much about it. Either way, it was setting it to 245mhz every time the screen shut off but I fixed it by removing the app, removing the privledges, and installing SetCPU which is maintaining the 600mhz the whole way through.

New question: can the Aria be overclocked? Is there any data available about what the acceptable thresholds are? Id like to get my emulators running a bit better. :O
[HTC Aria General] h0llyw00dj0e:
still need a kernel which supports clocking. doesnt exist yet for the aria/liberty
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
Doesn't the aria throttle itself anyways? I remember reading that it runs at ~480mhz when idle.
[HTC Aria General] h0llyw00dj0e:
yeah but he was trying to run it lower than 480.... which can still be done. just need a kernel.

Hello

First of all sorry for my bad English.

What are the differences between radios?

5005.1700.05

5005.1600.05

5001.0300.76

Lately I've used the 5005.1600.05 and sometimes they said that they heard me wrong.

Now I want to change and do not know which to use, or 5001.0300.76 5005.1700.05

Any help?

Thanks
[TG01 General] Vjess:
You forgot the Radio 5001.1800.26

I've tried all the radios of all of Rome and came to the conclusion that the version is 1800 for myself the best.

I can give only all radios guess yourself test to determine what is best for you, for your home and your provider have an influence on the radio.
[TG01 General] pitagorasz:
That's right, for me too the 5001.1800.26 Radio is the most stable and the call quality is also the best.

I've tried all of them.... and this is the best! ;)
[TG01 General] demonknight9:
I used to have the original radio included in the uk latest orange rom and think that that one is crap. Lots of noise on the line and the GPS dropouts were just ridiculous. I have now installed the 1600 with the TG Tool by combining it with the latest WM6.5 orange release and I can vouch for that one. At least with my unit and in the UK I have had no GPS dropouts anymore and the call quality is very good.
[TG01 General] kingofslide54:
Hi guys,

I'm sorry I'm asking this, but maybe it's not explained coz everyone already knows...

Is there a way to flash a radio to the tg01 without flashing a rom? If so, where can I find the radios? It was usual (and well explained) for HTC Blackstone, but can't find anything similar here to tg01...

Thanks!
[TG01 General] demonknight9:
There is no way that I know to flash just the radio on the TG01 like it is done on the Blackstone. However there is a method that you can combine the radio of one rom to the rom of a different rom and flash the entire rom. This is it:

download cedemish´s TGTOOL http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=300180&d=1269768423 and install .NET 3.5 framework from www.microsoft.com

ROM with RADIO you want, rename it to tg01.tsw

Rom you want to CHANGE radio,rename it to tg01ori.tsw

then,use cmd follow these codes:

Code:

tgtool -sp tg01ori.tsw original.os.payload

this command will split out OS from original ROM named as original.os.payload

then,

Code:

tgtool -mp original.os.payload tg01.tsw TG01WP_00.tsw

this command combined original OS and new new radio to a NEW ROM

This was not posted by me initialy so credits go to the person that posted this.
[TG01 General] kingofslide54:
thanks, demonknight9.

I'll follow this method in order to flash a new radio, since mi bt hands-free is not working... :(
[TG01 General] demonknight9:
No, probs. I copied and pasted this from another thread so no credit to me

Regards

D
[TG01 General] peputinho:
stupid question

sorr... but.....where is the radio? is an installed app?
[TG01 General] koku37:
Hello.

First of all sorry for my bad English.

Can anyone hang the files of the different radios so that the rest can use them?

Thanks
[TG01 General] demonknight9:
Read my post again. The radio is inside the rom.
[TG01 General] demonknight9:
there are no radios on their own because they can't be flashed on their own. Can people not read the instructions properly? Get the 2 roms you want. COMPLETE ROMS! Then use the instructions to extract the radio you want from a rom that has that radio and combine it with the main rom you want from another rom which you want but has a radio that you don't want. Does this make any sense? If it doesn't give up and stick with what you got.
[TG01 General] adzman808:
if you think of the complete flash in terms of a complete system

then the complete system is made up of a Operating System & a RADIO

they are seperate entities (seperate items) but they cannot be separated independantly of one another

kinda like 2 sides to the same coin (heads & tails)

but as described in this topic, you can seperate any radio from any rom - but you must do this on your PC & then combine the OS with the RADIO you want & re-flash.

If you already have the phone as you want (apps settings etc) but want to change the radio, then take a full back up of the phone (which in essence is only a back up of the OS), create the ROM you want to flash then restore from the back up

end to end process will be about 45mins - not as quick as being able to extract just RADIO (like HTC), but pretty quick & easy nevertheless...

Cheers

NOTE: Fourth Option Should Read 16-24 Hours of

LIGHT

Use!

I see a lot of people constantly talking about battery life on here and how they are disappointed by what they are seeing from ROMs, kernels, or the OTA release.

I'm interested to see exactly what sort of expectations people have on the lifetime of their phone.

I've been fairly cognizant of my phone's power consumption and have done a lot to ensure I understand how I use it and what effect that has on its life between charges.

I understand that a first generation phone with the largest screen, the fastest processor available, the most processor intensive camera, with animated wallpapers, synchronization to various web services, flash, and borderline experimental next-generation wireless connectivity that can tether to multiple devices. To have all that on a unit marginally larger than my old Palm Pre and roughly the same battery size (1150mAh stock) is going to come with some compromises.

I tend to overclock, ROM flash, and beat the snot out of my phone on a regular basis. Therefore, I have a super gigantic Seidio battery that I absolutely adore. I found that even before that, I was able to get my battery life under control if I controlled my phone properly, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Did some people just get bad phones? Are some people just being unrealistic with their expectations? What goals do you think people should be setting for the lifetime of their phone between charges?

Its an honest question.

I'm not under the false impression that these new phones are going to last as long as the older "dumb" phones, BUT.....Id like to be able to get through the day without charging my phone. I keep my screen about 40% brightness, I'm usually in an area with good reception, I only sync my Gmail, I've calibrated my battery, etc. The only real USE my phone gets is texting. I unplug my phone at 5am and its more than half gone by noon. Not real great IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
I think this will provide valuable insight as to expectations for this phone. Personally I have used smartphones since I can remember and I was bread to expect a nightly charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
It may be unacceptable to some that we have to "mod" our phones to get reasonable battery life, but I really dont have too many complaints. Out of the box, the EVO is running a 1gz processor and powering a 4.3" display. Not to mention if you're running wifi and various apps. I think some people are just expecting too much from these phones. Look at laptops. When my dell was brand new, I could get 2-3 hours of steady use before it conked out. The battery life our phones are getting, modded or stock, isnt really that bad. If you're unwilling to do some research and easy mods or buy a spare $20 OEM battery off eBay please dont complain about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
A nightly charge is acceptable. It's when you have to charge 2-3 times a day from moderate usage that is a little out of hand... Understandable that with heavier usage, more frequent charges would be needed.

I want my phone to last a day. And call a typical day something like:

- l/2-1 hour talk

- 12-24 text messages

- 45 minutes - 2 hours web browsing

- 2 hours music

My iPhone 3GS would do this without a problem, my wife's iPhone 4 might do 2 days like this. The EVO just barely does this.

But.. I prefer the EVO for enough reasons I just dropped $10 for 2 extra batteries and a phone-less charger on ebay, and keep chargers in the car and at my desk, and get it plugged in for like 30 minutes somewhere during the day. I rarely use the backup batteries, but it is nice to have them.

Totally worth it for a bigger screen, 4G, more open OS.
