i'd love to get my grubby paws on this asap. please include me as a beta tester if possible. all that and 4g is a win/win!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tpeazy:
Fusion...I know there are some AOSP folks out there, but I want u to know that there are still many of us here that love the efficient HTC Sense versions. In fact Sense is one of the only reasons why I really really like Android and why it was so easy for me to leave WinMo and go to Android.

how is the battery life on the senseless rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
I have NO complaints after calibrating the battery.

Whoops. Haha. I accidentally left out the no when I first replied. My battery life has been fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
No worries, I plan on keeping 3 versions of the ROM... sense, "senseless" and then one that is AOSP-like.... I want to make sure all users are satisfied and have options.

What in the hell do you mean?! :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
the poll is pretty damn even! VOTE! :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
1602 downloads in 6 days, not too bad! oh and how many complaints???

well, we do have one, two posts up about battery.... but I am waiting on more info there.... but still, 1 out of how many, aint too shabby!
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
An epic typo. :P

I'm a pretty heavy user on my phone, and I can generally get 8 hours out if my phone. Considering that is with the screen on at least 4 of those. I play Snesoid and SpeedX and read Kindle books a lot.

I'm sure if I left the phone alone and used it a lot less that I'd get into the 20 hour plus range easily. The standby drain has only been about 1-2% an hour. This is with the flipz variant of netarchy's latest kernel, and a (gasp) Task Manager by Adao Team that kills apps when the screen is off. Syncing two GMail accounts and Facebook contacts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
Fusionx, i just dl'd your rom and it seems really great, but i was getting a ton of FC's on Launcher pro I had to nandroid back to my last rom. I wiped everything 2x. Seemed pretty snappy till the FC's. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
the only time i had force closes was when i performed a nandroid restore of the rom without wiping EVERYTHING (meaning the first 3 options on the wipe menu) 3 times...

You gotta wipe yourself good to ensure you don't stink ;-)

Other than that the only thing I could imagine would be that you are using titanium backup and restoring 2.1 apps on your phone. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
well i didn't restore anything and wiped everything 2x. i'll give it another shot. thnx for the quick reply man
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Not too shabby, so would you say battery life is about par or above or below, in your case?

Oh yeah, and F*ck task killers ;-) they aren't needed unless your phone is dragging serious ass. They actually do more harm than good otherwise.

Android/Linux knows when and how to kill apps to stay efficient.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
no worries, give it another shot but you are rooted properly and everything, right? cuz honestly there isn't any reason for force closes, not even one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
I know, I know. There have been times though where scrolling in Dolphin Browser was running sluggishly and killing all the apps restored it's smoothness, so I think it has some utility.

I'd say it's at least above. To be honest I'm not the best person to ask, as I generally would flash a ROM at least once every other day so I rarely gave my battery the opportunity to really settle down, so to speak. I would say it's above par, though. Maybe it'll be even better without a task killer. I'll try it without for a day or two and see how it goes. I'm too used to the old days of Windows Mobile where you had to really watch your available memory. Old habits die hard. :)

EDIT: Can I keep Autokiller installed at least? :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
yeah, windows mobile is a different beast... absolutely keep it installed, i do! sometimes it's just needed!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
yeah... stumped cuz i've tried every 2.2 rom out there and haven't had that issue before. great support for your product; other devs can learn that from u
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Thanks man, I like to make sure my **** works....

Are you still having an issue? If so I suggest you wipe, flash another rom, wipe again, twice, and then re-flash this rom... do not wipe after you flash this rom. just flash and reboot, you should be all set.

you also have the latest radio and wimax, right?

If you still have issues, search the forum for "starting over" within the Evo section and do that.

then flash again.

otherwise i have NO IDEA what is wrong :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Yeah, I was going to suggest flashing a rooted stock ROM, or using whitslack's starting over method. But then you'd have to reflash the Radios. :\
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
update:

wiped all 2x again reflashed 2.4 and netarchy kernal... all is good again, no FC's yet on Launcher Pro... keeping my fingers crossed!

Looking forward to your next update! this sucker is very snappy! thnx man
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
alright you beast, that's more like it!

uncross those fingers, you got this! ;-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
Sup rochester. I see you have 2.4 out hmm i feel a flash coming on lol. Running hero overs kernal#1 on roms. Based on netarchys only overclocks to 1036mhz before it screws the pooch but the battery life is sick. Keep it under 1036 mhz and you are good. Check it out. Im gonna flash it on your rom. Cya
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Do it up man, I'm all about making things your own. Just be sure that if you find something that should be shared you post links!
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
I think I'm going to give this a try, too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
Having an issue with the HTC clock/weather widget on the 2.4 sense. It still shows the sun at 9:20 pm. The date and time is correct so idk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
Nevermind...another profile/prl update fixed it.

No issues found so far. Nice Rom!

I'll test WiFi tether tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Great!

2.4-senseless is working great. 2.3 was a bit shaky for me but 2.4 is very solid. The only change I made was I installed the default Froyo email.apk because I like that email client more than HTC's. But that is just personal preference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fiireball32:
This Rom is so f*ckin smooth...thanks fusion...only complaint is no spare parts

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
FYI, I flashed one of my buddies phones yesterday with version 2.4. Wireless tether (built in) worked flawlessly. I then wiped my own phone and installed 2.4 over again and it also worked then too. I'm not sure why yours didn't work, strange.

But to the rest of the thread.. Wireless tethering is working with the built in apk. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
A friend of mine flashed the Sense version on his phone this morning and we had some trouble getting wireless tethering to work. It would activate, but his laptop nor mine could see it. After a few attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling Wifi Tether, wiping and reflashing the ROM, we fixed it by installing pre4 instead of pre7.

What's weird is that Wifi Tether worked fine for me without having to do anything aside from setting it up. I'm on the Senseless version. I don't know if there's a difference (though I can't imagine there to be). He uses Clockwork Mod like I do, and came from a rooted Stock ROM. He's using the same kernel as me, also.

So I guess if you're in the small majority that have problems out of the box, give pre4 a try and see if you have better luck. I'm living proof that that's not always necessary, though.
[HD2 General] streetracinthug:
Yes unfortunately my phone is only as good as it can be and again its only my fault for the reason why its acting like so.

I am having a hard time dealing with the freezing up that its doing when recieving MMS. Also I am bothered why everytime I try to send a picture through Text it asks me for a Username and Password. My settings are all messed up and a master reset didnt help.

US, TMobile, HD2 and its just as I got it from the store. The only thing was I intended to update it. I dont think it was succesful. How can I check if I got the proper update.

I enjoy the phone very much but I hate how it gets laggy when recieving messages and I want the original connection settings. As of now I cannot back up my data since I dont have my cable. I am going to the store tomorrow to purchase one. Is there somewhere or someone I can purchase it for a cheap price.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
The guide in a way to see if you're on the new ROM. You might want to check the rest of the contents. Also, do not buy your cable from T-mobile. www.monoprice.com probably has them for a dollar or two.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
When your phone first boots up, you'll see text in the bottom left corner. The first one is your radio version, and the third one is your ROM.

Mine, a stock phone that came with the newer radio and rom reads:

R 2.10.50.26

G 15.39.50.70u

D 2.13.9063 8g

You can also go into Manilla Settings in the Start Menu, then scroll down to About Phone, then Software Information.

As for the data cable, you state you didn't have one. How are you keeping your phone charged? They are the same cable. That aside, all you're looking for is a Micro USB cable. Certainly do not buy from tmobile. Radio Shack or somewhere online or local sell them for 5 bux or less.
[HD2 General] streetracinthug:
Well, I have a Micro USB Cable that didnt come with the phone. Basically I plug it into my labtop or any usb outlet and my phone charges. Unfortunately I think this cable is a only a power option and not a data transfer. It never is detected with the cable. When I used to use my old cable it would detect fine and also I could use it for internet sharing. This cable is not detected by any computer.

Although I carry my laptop to work with me and hold on to it dearly. Other than that I will be ordering a new cable. As for a stock phone and being on the same rom I just checked and we are.

It seems I have started using swpe now and messaging is worse.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Swype will give you a 10 second delay before you can start in MMS for some reason. There have been a lot of MMS issues addressed, but I'm not sure if that is one of them. I just live with it. Works flawless with email.

As for the cable, maybe you've got some settings turned off in your phone. If you go to Settings, down to Other (Misc), USB to PC, what are your settings? Active Sync? Is the 'ask me first' box unchecked? If active Sync is selected, do you have active sync installed on the pc you have it plugged into? Good idea to do so if not. I find data tasks MUCH easier through active sync than the Disk Drive option.

Other than that, I would assume any micro usb cable would work, as I've used many many different ones, especially if you're getting power. I'm no expert however.
[EVO 4G General] aauslund:
Really need this app.

Anyone have any ideas, it just never connects anymore with 2.2 Froyo.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] MikeEIB:
You could flash to CM6, I use that app daily without problems
[EVO 4G General] mebo73:
I will second this. Wanted to check and never connected!
[EVO 4G General] ChadMichels:
Really annoying to have to flash to CM6 back from Sense Froyo 2.2 just to listen to iheartradio.

Anyone know what the issue is?
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
I would guess that your just going to have to wait for Iheartradio to update for 2.2

Is it that much better than Pandora? I have never even looked at Iheartradio before, so I dont know.
[EVO 4G General] appzattak:
I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and it is working perfect.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Works fine on CM6 Nightly and RC1. What more do you need?
[EVO 4G General] olemarc:
Wifi

For me it would work on Wifi but not 3G. In CM6 it works no matter what. I suspect they need an update. It is pretty annoying, so I am sticking with CM6 for now. I like stock and CM6, still debating which I want. I suspect when 4G hits CM6 I won't have a reason to use stock 2.2 anymore...
[EVO 4G General] TambourineMan:
I am still un-rooted and on 2.1 (waiting for 4G and unrestricted HDMI in CM6). IHeartRadio worked for me once and never again - on 3G, 4G, or wifi.

I wrote to their customer support a week ago and did not even get an automated acknowledgment
[EVO 4G General] lowery23:
Mine is working the same way. I am on Baked Snack 1.1 and Cherry Rplayer and Iheartradio will not stream while I'm on 3G. If I switch to Wifi they both work fine.
[EVO 4G General] conundrum4000:
Using BackedSnack 1.2.5 I have the same issue with IHeartRadio,

works fine on Wifi, does not work over 3G.

It works fine with CM6, but as a workaround, if you turn WIFI on (even if you dont have a connection) and start streaming Iheartradio, it will continue working (does for me) even if you turn WIFI off afterwards.

Hope that helps.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
I (like many of you, I'm sure) plan on flashing a FroYo rom as soon as the most stable one is available, but of all the things that came pre-loaded on this phone, the music player is my favorite of any device I've owned.

Does anyone here know of a way to extract it or install it again after flashing?

Any help is appreciated :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] foofiebeast:
Yeah I have been really pleasently surprised with the quality of the music app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] accinfo:
aren't our music player the same as the i9000?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] phishie:
Except when it stops working when the battery gets to 9%.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
I've owned this phone for about two weeks now, playing with it non-stop and have honestly never let it drop below 40ish percent battery life.

Some of us are just more responsible with our devices battery than others.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
I fail to understand this comment.

Besides the bad idea of not draining your battery the first few times, and fully charging it, which helps it work to it's fullest, letting the battery drop and being irresponsible are not the same thing.

Better way to say it is "Some of us have a charger handy more often than others. Aren't we lucky"
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
*sigh*

Anyways, help with the music player would be appreciated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fastfro:
I would love to know how you are more "responsible" than those who have issues with battery life.

The music player is pretty nifty. Someone will probably figure out a way to export it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caelestis2:
Are you guys so clueless as to having to have things spelled out for you?

Responsible with battery life =

Making sure you don't install crap apps and let them hang for battery drain.

Not running intensive tasks when battery gets low.

Optimizing screen power usage.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] han.azuki:
no music player widget sucks balls
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fastfro:
Apparently i do need it spelled out for me. I cant get my screen to use less than 60% of my battery.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
EXACTLY what I meant. Thank you. But, that's really beside the point..

Can we please discuss a way to back this music player app up somehow?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hollywould:
I find not having a music widget isn't that big a deal, because you can access the music player from the notification menu, and from the lock screen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Yeah...so anyway, back to the main topic...

Check out the following post, I believe the music player is in this bundle (complete list of apps is in post #12). Obviously this is from Eclair and not guaranteed to work on Froyo, but hell it's worth a shot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712594

But as devs are still ramping up, we may see an official Sammy build of Froyo before a custom one (albeit for the International Galaxy S, not the American Death Star or Tmo versions)...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Neckrobeard:
I like the music player except one horrible concept on it. I wish there was a way to go to artist then pick the album I want instead of having to scroll through every album's songs just to find one. Very annoying. I like it as far as a touchscreen music player goes but as far as usability I liked the Music player on my Curse 8900 better.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SlimJ87D:
Yes it is one and the same thing.

Take it from me who has had to deal with roommates whom did not charge their phones quite often. This has lead to urgent phone calls always missed about rent, fees or stuff they have done in the home that needed urgent care.

Charging your battery and making sure your phone is always functional is part of a responsibility. The purpose of a phone is for someone to get a hold of you for a reason.

Can you imagine a doctor that never charges his phone and lets his battery stay around 9%? Yeah, I think you got it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] defriend:
Agree.. but except for this.. I love the player.

Anybody know if the "5.1" mode is he real thing or just a gimmick ? Music does sound better in this mode in my car.

Regards

Nick
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kingzq:
I atually have a question about this music player too. But quite opposite, I dislike this app very much, it can't do change songs when double click the remote on the earphone. It won't recongize the playlist I synced from doubletwist either. It's a lot worse than the music app from the thread "[APK] AOSP APK´s for Galaxy S" :mad:

I am wondering if I can remove the stock music player or at least disable it so it won't auto start too when I click the remote trying to play songs from my new music app.:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
1. Check

2. Check

3. Check

Geeze, I still get low battery life by the end of the day. If I could charge it for an hour on the middle of the day, I would.

*doh* at 15% battery life, the phone will live for quite a long time. Even in a phone call. So I'm not losing that (yes, I've had phone calls when my battery hits that, no problem. So no, I would not call it "irresponsible" to let the battery drop to 15%, when the ONLY functionality it affects is the stock music and video players.

If I was a doctor on call, that would mean most likely I'm either

a) at the office (with an outlet)

b) at home (with an outlet)

c) out running errands (with a car and a car charger)

d) know that of for some reason, I could not charge it, and it might affect it's function in the line of my job, I'd buy a second battery+charger and keep them both on my person in case it gets low.

Sadly, my daily routine keeps me on the move, not in a car, not near a charger for long enough to pull it out, plug it in, charge for a couple minutes, unplug, pack it up, move on. The grand total of maybe 8 minutes of charge is not worth it. I make it through the day, but my battery gets low. Please, explain how that's "irresponsible".

Yeah, I think you got it. Not everyone has easy access to chargers, not everyone is hit with functionality issues (maybe if the battery was hitting 3%, I could see an issue), so please, I get annoyed at these "responsibility" talks from people on the internet, who think they know everything.

If you download lates stable build of Cyanogen, and extract the Music.apk file from /system/apps, you can install it on the Captivate without a hitch. It also includes all of the widgets.

REG: Battery life

For what its worth,

Lithium batteries don't care about running them 100% down, then recharging 100% the first few times as the old Nimh batteries of old did.

As a matter of fact, running lithium batteries completely dead will in fact damage them, but our devices keep that from happening by shutting down before its actually depleted. I am not sure of the exact numbers, but the device will show a lithium battery depleted when in fact it has 30-40% capacity left. Going past that 30%ish line is when you start sucking the life out of it, and it can't be replaced.

Lithium batteries have a death date the minute they leave the production line. A typical Li-Ion battery will last 2-3 years. Whether you use it or not. A full charge on a brand new battery, versus a 1st charge on an older battery will prove two different capacities. So if you buy a brand new device made last month, and its equipped with a battery made 2 1/2 years ago......guess what? Your charge is not gonna last very long and your gonna be buying a new battery in a couple of months when it dies completely.

The only other thing that will effect its life span is heat. And thats unavoidable from heavy use, and charging, as I am sure you didn't buy your souped up cell phone just to talk on, right? But not leaving it in your car in the middle of August will help it out a bit. ;)

So run the crap out of, and enjoy your device.

Again, for what its worth. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Captivatedguy7:
Besides carrier specific apps I'm pretty sure all Galaxy S devices have all the same software including the music app. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
I'm running a i9000 rom right now and it is definitely a different music player. It is similar, but there it actually works. It lets me sort by artist, which I could never do on a captivate rom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndyRoadie:
So, go easy on the n00b please... :D

(if this already exists, I am going to feel stupid, lol)

What I want is an easy way to set the phone so the call ring volume is up, but the notifications are all silent. Sure, I can go into my emails, and text apps and do it manually...but I was wondering if there is an app that does this in one step.

Also, going a step further, is there an app that allows you to set caller profiles? Like, say you want to silence the phone for everyone but one or two people at nite, for example, or when you are taking a nap(like us old folks do, lol)

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndyRoadie:
