I was getting a little under a day of very light use on my phone. I did a full wipe of the phone and then installed the latest version of caulk's rom at the time and that fixed the problem.

I've reinstalled most of the apps i had installed and my battery will last for 2 days now, with gps and bt turned on. So i'm pretty certain the full wipe and install fixed something that was broken. Previously, i'd just wipe cache and install the updated roms as they came out.

So - you might want to consider doing a full backup of your phone, then do a full wipe and reinstall the rom and run the phone like that for a day and see what kind of battery life you get. I'm not going to say it'll definitely help you since there seem to be so many suggestions for getting better battery life. All i can say is in my case, it seems to have helped a lot. If you already do full wipes in between rom's, then i guess you can ignore this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
ah i see - well if you do a nand backup before hand, you should be good. I always do a nand backup before installing any updates or roms. better safe then sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] exSD:
Wow, I mean, do you guys even use your phones?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
Yea, but on my work wifi, and it sucks..... always get higher uploads then downloads on it, but never that fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] getinked:
yeah my work is on 144 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
I see you are using netarchy's 4.0.3. Is it scaling correctly for you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
Absolutely no problems with scaling!

It is the "Super Circle" battery meter that I snagged from this post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Evio splash is for the image you see when booting up the phone.

Evio enable capicitive button is to reenable the search button.stock kernel is the official kernel that ccomes with the phone (if you don't want overclock or undervolt or your fps uncapped.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
All of these come within the rom but if you ever decide to go Stock kernel then like to go back you would need these files to do so?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
Also another question if you dont mind, after I installed the rom I saw some apps that came with it such as Quick Boot and file manager etc.. I did another wipe after I installed the rom incase of any left unwanted files during the flash, as I rebooted all those apps were gone..Wondering if that was suppose to happen or could it be a glitch
[EVO 4G Android Development] JG-1:
Don't do a factory reset after installing the ROM (only before) or you'll lose some apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JG-1:
Anyone want to explain how to use ConnectBot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
I have bunch of questions about this rom, I know this forums is all about questions and answers..Other then what I previously had said I'd like to add that my HDMI Out doesnt work anymore..Wonder if it has to do with the FPS Unlock and if even so how would you know if your FPS is unlock?

Also Note I realized that using setcpu overclocking App to the lowest MHZ increases Internet Speed in your Wifi Tether
[EVO 4G Android Development] JG-1:
What kernel are you using? HDMI out should work now with netarchy's 4.x.x kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
In my software Information on my evo says Kernel Version

2.6.29-Netarchy-Toastmod-froyoized-3.7.8
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Get 4.0.2 should work.though I haven't tested.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
Alright but I'd like to know exactly what is Kernel anyways

Isnt that part of a rom that been modified by User?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JG-1:
you need his newest kernel.

Plus I kinda like doing fresh installs yea so idk why I asked maybe to just kno or somthing but sorrie
[EVO 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
What's that mean?
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
I always do a full wipe before each flash...dang.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
not only that but this is my method

1. Factory reset

2. Calk's format all x2

3. Install ROM

4. Boot into ROM

5. NAND of base ROM (no need to do all that wiping etc anymore)

6. Install Applications of choice

7. NAND with just applications setup

8. install kernel of choice

9. NAND again ( lots of nand's but bear with me)

10. Install SMS's and mods

11. NAND again (you should be used to it by now)

here is the fun part. If everything works fine, you can delete NAND's 7 + 9 and then NAND 11 is your most recent NAND. If all hell breaks loose, you can shuttle NAND 11 and go right back to your base ROM in NAND 7. I do a every other day NAND "11" and they are named like this

YYYY.MM.DD.ROM.ROM#.THEME(if applicable).Vx - x being a number if i am trying multiple items on a themed NAND in one day

so for example todays non themed ROM will be

2011.01.06.WARM.RLS4

:D

Plus you can delete your older daily versions and just keep your updated NAND "11" & NAND "7"

Figured it out. Setcpu was still installed (thought I unstalled it) once it is granted super user, my phone freaks out and get a dialer pop up saying its not responding, force close constantly... Reboot same prob. So now that I got rid of set cpu, I'm good so far. Thx calk!!!

thats 2 days with extended battery? ..i have gone 12 hours today and im still at 40%
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Soooooo with all the love for 1.7.1 & 1.7.5 can someone tell me the difference between, say, 1.7.5 and 1.7.6? I ask because I just rooted a few days ago and put 1.7.6 on my phone (never tried the others) and so far it's been working fairly well.

Definitely faster than stock and battery is a bit (not a lot) better as well. So the big question is..... am I missing out on something by not trying 1.7.5? What exactly is the difference? I kinda joined the party late :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
the details are listed in the change log in post #1 for exact changes, hope that helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] loztboy:
Loving the undervolt, I've been going for 35 hrs and still have 10% left on the stock battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
I think what the poster is asking for is an interpretation of the change log?

I'd say the changes are minimal, more so having to do with cpu voltages that may or may not help your battery life. Other than that, some other minor changes. If 1.7.6 is working, stick with it, unless you have nothing better to do.

I'm still at 1.7.5. Will update if there's some major changes in the future though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
lol how is that possible...

Just flashed 1.7.6b about an hour ago got a reboot when opening gmail.never had random reboots before.

Ill post if I can another.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Thanks for that bit of clarity, that's exactly what I was looking for. My current setup (1.7.6) is solid, no FC's, no slowdowns, no random reboots. Always thinking the grass is greener, you know. I'll stick with it until, like you, something truly better comes along.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beaker77:
Anyone know why that when I try to dial Sprint Customer Service at *2 I always get a dialer force close? Anyone else having this problem. I've noticed this on 1.7.5, 1.7.6, and 1.7.6b. I never tried on any other versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
You have to install Sprint Zone. Should be in the the "Removed Apps" folder on your SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DJHUSH:
............. Something is wrong here!!!!

seems to be some kind of bad script or something.... too many people are having problems with this 1.7.6b.... I wiped everything twice.... and still had force closing and rebooting... and was not able to download from the market... issues with TiBackup.... I wonder are we getting the full down load? what size is this Zip?:confused: I have never had problems with any of Calkulin's roms.... NEVA!!!!

I am on 1.7.6b using HTC# SBC 15 and am @ 40% right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've been setting up 1.7.6b from scratch and am doing well, but there are four apps that I can't seem to download/install from the Market.

Every time I try, it says it's downloading, I get the d/l icon in the top bar, but it only lasts 1-2 seconds. Only with these four apps (I just tried AcruSky when I couldn't get Google Sky Map).

Is there a way to force the download? Or have I screwed something up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
try clearing cache of market
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Found your last post and downloaded the file- would you be so kind as to give some instruction for installing it? I have ADB up and running, but I don't remember the correct code and location in the running ROM.

OK I tried winging it and it worked.

For those that want to try:

adb remount [enter]
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework [enter]
adb shell reboot [enter]

I'm not sure why, but doing this also wiped out bunch of my settings, including my wallpaper and most of my syncing accounts (Twitter was the only one left).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've tried rebooting- is there a specific market cache? and how would it be cleared? in Recovery? Don't see a setting in the Market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:

Could anyone help me find the apk file for Wireless Tether v2.0.5? I'm running version 1.7.5 of this ROM because its smoother with a little better battery life on my Evo but the Wireless Tether app works better on the newer ROM versions. Can anyone post it for me to download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Hmmm. Tried that.

After a little more experimenting, I still can't complete those apps. And I've now realized that I can't install anything else. Everything starts, but doesn't complete.

I just attempted to flash Evio 1.7.6 and it freezes on the white screen when booting that says "htc EVO 4G". any thoughts on what to do?

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeyldev:
Just wanted to pop my head in and say great rom. Flashed the latest today for the first time. I'm normally a Myn's Warm guy, but had a couple of days to kill before the newest comes out, as we were finished beta testing. This thing seems rock solid. If I'm not using it, the battery barely moves...maybe .5% or 1% and hour...awesome. No reboots or anything and I have been using all day. Unplugged at 1600 hours and have been doing quite a bit of wordwise and xda'ing, not to mention a little napster and web surfing. Couple of phone calls and around 25 texts. Just got to 50% at midnight.

I may do a nice little comparison against Warm RLS 5 when it comes out tomorrow. I am definately diggin evio. Good work Calk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Mark me down as sticking with 1.7.5 for now. 1.7.6 had significantly LESS battery life for me. May try a full wipe and 1.7.6b over the weekend to see if it was a fluke...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Well, I'm just glad it's not just me.

All my important stuff is working, so I'll just stick with this for now. But I'll tinker after I get through Friday when everything isn't so critical.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
I tried duplicating your problem,both quadrant and google sky worked.Then tried few more apps and only one that didn't work was angry birds.maybe there is something wrong with market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] IzzeLing:
Love the rom! My favorite that I've tried so far. Just wanted to chime in and say battery life seems like it hasn't been that great either on the newer releases. I forget the version, but around the 12-30 release was getting great battery life. Haven't changed usage or anything to warrant it going down so fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Could be... I downloaded quite a few apps before it stopped working- so it wasn't like I changed a setting or anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
I made a slightly different one on UOT.. I think this has bigger numbers.

Style D - White letters

The trick was to replace the damaged png file with a good one. I have both .5 and .6b ROMS, but the file was damaged in both. Using the same file from another ROM (in this case fresh's), I replaced the damaged file and uot was happy as a clam.

Flash the file below from recovery, or replace it manually in the /system/framework folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aussiepunk:
Series Three hardware. Using Sense launcher. Backed everything up with Titanium Wiped all cache's, loaded 1.7.6b. Started setting my icons back up again and realized I hadn't loaded the default buttons zip, so I rebooted into Recovery and installed the zip. Rebooted, no icons, no widgets nothing. Phone buttons are there but Sense completely devoid of icons. Rebooted, everything came back just fine, haven't had any problems since then.

If your icons all disappear - just reboot! Don't start loading stock scenes and messing everything up.

Is any one else having problems with the phone constantly syncing? The only to stop the phone from syncing is to remove the Automatic Sync in Settings. Otherwise it just stays all day syncing.

Is there a fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xjreyes:
I've noticed this same problem yesterday as well... but i usually never have anything syncing on the phone ... but i couldn't seem to go the " Search " button zip file to flash over.

I tried to do thnis since i went back to 1.7.5 and i had pulled the htccamera.apk file from an odexed rom. I replaced the file in 1.7.5 and tried to flash it and it said error wrong digestion. How would I install this? I also tried to do it thru app installer and it didnt work either. What am I missing?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Rilasis:
Been using this rom for a month or 2 now. My phone just runs so damn SLOW though. And battery life is still soso. Is it impossible to get a ROM that can open my text messages quickly and smoothly AND have a battery that can last all day?? Is that really so much to ask for??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpinedac77:
So yesterday I reverted back to 1.7.5 and nets 4.3 SBC kernel and

I think the phone is doing much better. Unplugged the phone 3 hrs ago, made 4 phone calls of about 5 -7 mins a piece. Downloaded two apps from the market, watched a little hulu (which was where I saw the biggest drop in battery life) and I am at 87 percent. GPS is the only thing on. Im sticking with 1.7.5. Just need to get the camera shutter to work to make this phone perfect.

I tried pulling the apk file from an odexed rom and still nada. I get an error when trying to flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] mountainbyker:
Tasker should allow you to do that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zentsang:
I have to ask, what was the logic behind disabling the Search button? I use the Visual Task Switcher that has the option to use either the Home button or the Search button (long press). Since I like that the Home button returns me to the center screen of the phone, I have always used the Search button for the Visual Task Switcher.

To add, by restoring the default buttons with the zip you provided, am I losing anything? I'm just trying to understand what the importance was in disabling the Search button.

Love this ROM btw. I especially love your new startup screen and animation. Prior to switching to your ROM, I was driving one night and the phone randomly rebooted while using GPS. Lets just say my retinas were burning from the default EVO startup screen. So thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tke0834:
Hey Calk, just curious, are you ever gonna make this rom downloadable through ROM Manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dayv2005:
I would really like that as well. Was about to install this rom just now and ended up here because it wasn't available through rom manager. Rom Manager is nice now that it support RA recovery and RA has been updated as well to support nested folder structures to load zips.

Please support rom manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
I don't get it... What's so damn hard about placing the rom zip on the root file of your sd card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
When I asked the same question, many moons ago, I was informed that it was done to avoid having the search button activate the search, which starts using data, cpu, etc. accidentally. I guess people were tapping while putting it in their pockets.

I've never had the issue- but I understand the concern.

[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
two days with the standard HTC battery that comes with the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
i said light usage - which means the phone is always on. meaning 3g is on, and i leave bt and gps on. I don't make/receive many phone calls - maybe 20 minutes in a day. Plus sending/receiving a couple of txt message, maybe playing a game for 10-20 minutes, and maybe downloading an app update or two.

That's my typical usage and i'd call that light usage. Under that scenario, i'm getting about 2 days out of my (standard)battery now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
not only that but there is a flashable zip to restore it, easy peasy
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
So, good news.

Before I totally wiped and started over, I went into Recovery, cleared cache & Dalvik only, then flashed the Remove Power Widgets file.

Rebooted, and voila, I can download & install from the market.

I don't know if it was the clearing of the cache & Dalvik or the flashing of the file and removing the PCW, but it works.

(I did lose my circle battery icon in the process... we'll see if putting it back screws things up. Maybe that somehow f'ed it up.)

Circle battery back- and Market works. Rockin'!
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
did you download the full rom or the update? The update only applies if you are upgrading from a specific version. I don't know what will happen if you apply the update to an incorrect version. caulk had an update to go from 1.7.5 to 1.7.6 and to go from 1.7.6 to 1.7.6b

If you want the full rom for 1.7.6b you can download that from here:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
One little thing...

I used the file to remove the power widgets, but I still have that space on top of the notification bar there. That was why I wanted them gone (aside from the redundancy)- I didn't want to have to scroll around the pull-down bar.

Maybe with the next update we might see an updated file to remove the space along with the Power Control Icons? Please?

Oh. I think I figured it out.

The circle battery probably used a framework file that had the widgets there. And the file to remove the widgets also resets the battery.

Testing that theory now. Tested. Confirmed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
why can't he use the same method? Anyhow, i dont know which method you used, but i used unrevoked and it was pretty damn easy. The latest version they released is supposed to support the latest hardware revision and support the latest updates, so you should be able to use that. Just google unrevoked or go to unrevoked.com
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:

Different hboots may require a different method. Find out the hboot and make sure unrevoked works with it.

edit: This appears to be the latest, most universal method. I was lucky and have an old hboot, so I didn't use this method, but it looks like it works.
