[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon H:
So any ROM I run that isn't sense, like CM6 or DS 2.8, I get this terrible, annoying, loud ringtone every time the phone starts. It thinks I have three unread voicemails (I have none) and constantly bugs me about it.

It's starting to drive me nuts, and I'm considering going back to Sense rom because they do not have this issue. I just want the notification to go away, but there is no option for it anywhere in the call/voicemail settings.

I need this to end before I chuck my phone out a window.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehunni:
Default notification sound, change it lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehunni:
Also turn off SD card notifications, that's the one that really pesters me...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leon H:
Doesn't do it. This is a ringer separate of my notification sound. Trust me, I get other notifications; I would change it to a sound of my liking if I could. I basically ransacked the options menu, this "feature" isn't listed anywhere.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexofander:
Any luck?

I know this is a bit outdated, but did you ever find a solution to your problem?

I have a rooted Samsung Fascinate and whenever I get a new voicemail I get this constant ringing until I check it. It's not the same sound as the normal ringtone or notifications. I can't find any settings anywhere that can adjust it.

So far you're the only one I found with the same issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stdlyman3k:
Ok I've looked around alot and am trying not to be a noob here but I have a couple questions about what I've seen my battery using with the new spare parts.

First for partial awake its saying something called UID 10109 keeps it awake alot. Their are alot of these UID's with different numbers and I'm just wondering what they are or if I can do anything to make them not wake the phone as much.

Seconldy on other usage its saying running is at 43% and screen on is at 21%.... why is running so high? Does this mean its running that much with the screen off?

Hopeing to get some insight on any of the above. My battery life is horrible on every rom I've tried.

I'm running newest radio and wimax, EVIO 1.02 with netarchy's new rom.

Any ideas would be great.

Also when I try to click network usage their is almost 100% usage of something with a 0 and when I click on it I get a FC.

Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I think 10109 has to do with media players or the fm radio. Try killing these and see if that helps

What makes you think thats high? Remember you're running a custom oc kernel with the fps fix, so the screen is going to be using some juice. Also, if you're running a custom ROM, the other processes may be handled so efficiently that their percetage of battery usage dropped, which means that the screen percentage may be higher even though it's still using the same amount of juice.

Can't help you with this one - I've been wondering about that myself. I'm thinking it has something to do with basic android functionality though.

Note that I'm no dev or anything, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stdlyman3k:
Really appreciate the reply. Good info and ill try to close those and see what that does for me. Thanks again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
np - also, what I was trying to say in the second part, I don't think came out so well. one of the points I was making is that if you see 42% next to screen, that doesn't mean that the screen was using 42% of your battery. It means that out of your total battery usage, 42% of that usage was used by the screen, not 42% of the total battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stdlyman3k:
Ok I think that makes sense. Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] -ebby-:
Can someone point me in the right direction for making a simple digital clock widget? i know only some basic java but i think i could do something like this i just need to know a good way change the image based on the time. I think i could do it now but the way i am thinking of doing it is doing- if minutes = 1 display 1.png but i don't want to have to write that out for every number and make a image for every number 0-59.

If this could be done in app inventor or started in app inventor and then brought into eclipse it would make it easier on us beginners but even just giving me an idea on how to write this where it would be somewhat more efficient.

If someone would would be willing to help or write a guide it would be really helpful for beginners looking to learn java and customize their phones at the same time.

So, I've cooked a custom rom for my phone, (xda zest if you were wondering) and would really like to cook custom icons in to match my theme.

I don't have a clue how to go about this and i was wondering if anyone here would be so kind as to teach me how?

I have searched by the way, and I did find a tutorial by bikeandestroyx but i failed to make sense of it. :o

Any help would be appreciated.

I knew this was true but i had to test it out just to see for some reason the new official rom's running 2.2 Froyo the internet browser is slower then the first rom's that came out. so i nandroid back to Ava-FroyoV1 and the internet browser was fast loading times were fast everything . and then nandroid back to my current rom i'm running which is BakedSnack1.1_theme and the stock browser is just not as fast Don't get me wrong it's fast but not as fast as all the first 2.2 rom's that came out no matter which one it is i can't explain why but it just is. So is it just me or did anybody else notice this? Try it for yourself if u still have some of the first Froyo rom's that came out on nandroid or just go re-download them again and tell me if u come up with the same results.
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
how exactly did you "test"? Strictly observation or something quantifiable? The mind has an amazing way to create placebo effects. Also, if you tested right after booting while the system is warming up, this could cause a lag to the browser's speed.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
i went to the same web sites on each Rom's with the same kernal and same radio same wimax and then seen watch one was loading faster
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
Looking over in the HERO forum someone has found out away to modify the phone.apk to include a roam only option. Wondering if this was possible for the evo as well. I tried using the apktool but the files do not match.

Heres the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745092
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ssjgoku24:
I'm sure it's possible. If I remember correctly when I was using CyanogenMod Nightlies, there was an option for this (it wasn't call roam only but im sure thats what it did).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
Yeah this is where all of this started.... Now someone has ported it to the hero and I would really like to see if this is possible for the hero.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tdusen:
Why would you want to force Roam only?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fastamx79:
I know I would. I used to do it on my Pre while I was at work.. I work in radio and in the lower level of our building in production studios all day and my signal is very weak. Forcing the phone into roam helped me have better battery life, and a more stable phone if I got a call or something.

Roam only on the Evo would be very nice!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
This is the same reason why I need it..... I used it on my pre all the time as well when at work and in other areas where coverage was very spotty
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsachirpthing:
I have the phone.apk (from Fresh 3.1.01) decompiled and I have made the noted changes from the original Hero thread and I'm ready to test, but I'm having fits on compileing the apk to sign and test. Can someone else try, the modifications are simple to edit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
I am not running Fresh.... Wish I knew a little more about programing. I tried the apktool mentioned in the post but the rom I use has a different dialer setup than fresh's. I wonder if he would be willing to help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] letsgoflyers81:
I would love to have this option in a widget, shortcut, or some other method that makes it easy to toggle on and off. There were registry edits on my old HTC WinMo phones to enable this.

I have very good Sprint coverage most of the time but every once in a while I'm somewhere Verizon has better coverage. I've seen my phone hold onto Sprint with one or even no bars, and only switch to Verizon every once in a while and get full bars. This kills the battery and of course service.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsachirpthing:
Could someone post the original stock 2.2 phone.apk (unthemed). I think that the themeing on the dialer is what is causing my issues with rebuilding the .apk. This could cause issues with the htc framework used, just my .02. We should be able to port this over.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrGreg:
I modded the apk for Fresh 3.1.0.1, try it out and let me know if it works:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsachirpthing:
Unfortunately I keep getting FC's after moving this one over the old one. Rebooted the phone and still no luck. I feel like something is different with the framework or something. Could theme changes (Rosie) in this ROM be the issue? What did you do to rebuild the apk. I worked a few hrs after I moded it from your instructions trying to rebuild using APKmanger. I greatly appreciate your efforts. Trial and error, we'll get there with the EVO!!! Thanks!

this would be a huge step forward to helping me get good reception in a couple really bad areas. Thanks for working on this!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
U dont get charged for roaming it just comes out of your anytime minutes if you do not have an unlimited plan. If u have unlimited then it costs nothing

Any one have any progress to report on this
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Geniusdog254:
One thing that may work: load CM6, set it to affiliated networks, then restore back to your previous ROM.

It may not work, but I know on my N1, if I would set it to WCDMA only to prevent the 3G dropping to EDGE, then that would stay sticky over flashes & wipes etc.

The settings are stored in the radio, so I think setting it to roam only should stick.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] letsgoflyers81:
Sprint doesn't charge for domestic voice or data roaming. They reserve the right to cancel your account if you roam for more than half your minutes or a specific amount of data (I can't remember how much), so it's not the kind of thing you'd leave on all the time. But there are situations where it would be beneficial to force roaming for a short period of time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] autoprime:
i'd def be interested in this. im using fresh.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
Um.. bump really interested. If we can can the edited Phone.apk that has the force roaming option that would be great. Checked out the other thread but none is currently made specifically for the EVO.

Edit: One was made for the fresh rom, however only causes constant force closes. I am mostly looking for an edited version that will work on the stock rom.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigj225:
Yeah Unfortunately non of the developers wants to take a look at it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] d0cx:
yes, this works and it does stick. i tested using CM6, set to Affiliated Networks, then reboot in recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache, restored previous nandroid from another ROM, and when it booted, it was romaing only. if i touch the setting in Mobile Networks it goes away. but it works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itsachirpthing:
MrGreg created an app and it's on market. I bought it and it works great. Called roam control. Go get it and show some support. He's put a lot of work in this. Working great on my Evo running latest fresh. Check it out!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tauzins:
yup agreed!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] baknblack:
I wonder if Sprint made MrGreg some concrete boots. I haven't seen a post from him since he put his app up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drmacinyasha:
For those using Roam Control:

Is it just the same thing as CM6's "Affiliated Networks" setting (ie, roaming on VZW with 1x data only) or is it like loading a Verizon PRL (3G data roaming)?

EDIT: According to the official thread it's just 1x roaming, aka, what CyanogenMod does for free. *sigh*

Really wish someone would get a quick-n-easy way to do the PRL swap-out on AOSP ROMs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] baknblack:
For me I really needed a solid signal at a remote location. It works awesome for this purpose. My icon never changes from 3g to 1x but it goes to 1x for sure.

I'm assuming you mean "Root" your phone so that you will be able to flash and load the various things you mentioned, in which case you will just have to wait patiently until the developers figure out how to root the phone.

2.2 has been rooted (not sure if using the correct term here) so that it can be loaded on a phone that was previously rooted on 2.1. If you applied the OTA updates from Sprint to get 2.2, then waiting is in order.

If you have stock 2.2 from the OTA Sprint updates, then you already have the latest Radio and Wimax...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Just to make it clearer, 2.2 has not been rooted on the EVO yet.. There are rooted 2.2 custom roms available, but they require you to already be rooted or you will have to root your 2.1, before flashing..

Neewwbb

Yea sorry im new to this site.:(. anyone have a ETA on the 2.2 root? this su*ks shouldnt have updated.. another thing what does "ROOT" access do really?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
Root access basically just gives you administrator access to all parts of the phone. It's not like Jalibraking an iPhone, because the truth is Google doesn't really try to stop you from doing it at all.

You could root your phone just to give yourself the ability to do a backup, and keep everything stock. I was surprised when I bought my Evo, and saw that Google didn't have a way to do a full image backup. Root gives this to you.

You can also use root user access to replace ROM's, and use certain apps that only work with superuser access, or administrator access to put it another way. Examples would be wireless tether from theory of evolution, and titanium backup.

I use a root app called Rom Manager. It's a great way to try new Roms and flash back to stock if you don't like them. I know everyone warns about bricking your phone, and causing damage, but I wouldn't worry about it. You should be fine with anything you find in these forums, or from Rom Manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianfreytag:
Google doesn't try to stop you, but the manufacturer's do.

It's more like jailbreaking than you think. Both rely on exploits in the software to gain root access to the system. That's why when you do an OTA update, you lose root. Because that exploit is no longer taken advantage up. That's also why it takes so long for people to find a root to the OTA versions. They need to haxxor through all of the code to try to find an exploit.

Though I admit, unRevoked rooting method is far more closely aligned to jailbreaking than a good old fashioned nand unlock.

2.2 I hear is far more secure, so I have a feeling we'll be having a bit of a waiting game.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
It's laughable that we have yet another thread discussing this, but while we're on the subject, my personal opinion is that developer efforts would be better devoted to polishing a full EVO-compatible AOSP ROM from the source code up. But then, how would we flash it . . . ?

Oh well, never mind.

Why you would consider the Samsung over the evo. The battery life is not much greater on the galaxy S series. Got a few co workers with both version (vibrant, captivate).

As far as saying you don't need faster than the evo or n1, it depends on what you are trying to run. Try putting windows 7 on that old comadore. What's the famous quote by bill gates saying computers would never need more than a few megs of ram?

And I wouldn't want to get a Samsung either but I do like the proc/gpu and physical keyboard
