[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dynu:
Hello,

I've run into this problem on every WM device I found: I have my outlook contacts with non-ascii characters in names (Romanian characters should it make a difference). Every now and then I need to leave my HTC Touch 2 at home and walk around with a $20 phone (kayaking or mountain climbing are such occasions). Obviously, having the ability to save all my contacts on the SIM to have them on the cheap expendable phone, would be much desired. However, when I try to export to SIM, I get an error for every of the non-ascii names - that it is "too long" for the SIM capabilities - and the contact is skipped. Is there such an app that can handle transferring unicode contacts to SIM (automatical conversion to ASCII or just replacing non-ascii characters with question marks is totally acceptable, as long as a recognizable form of the name ends up on the SIM).

Thanks,

Dinu

I transplanted the 21914 Windows Mobile 6.5 on my phone，There is a problem so I am very disturbed，“SMS can not create",“SMS can not view“,MMS no problem with normal.

I have been trying to replace riched20.dll, webview.dll, Redist_Lang_0804, but still not resolved.I thought about many ways, has not been the problem.

Request to help me solve this problem, we are extremely grateful.

How can I block a phone number and text messages? I tried Sprints website and sad to say it doesnt look like it is working.

Any other ideas?
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
hmm. It worked for me when I had to do that once (from the sprint website)

Did you include the area code with the number? (and leave off the beginning 1?)

I am sure there is a messaging app or something that can do that, but you would most likely still incur usage on you bill (but you probably have unlimited msg... :D )
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
Where can I find it on the website again?
[EVO 4G General] unsane:
if you truley want to block someone just call sprintit takes five mins to do and trust me it def works...lol
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
Oh awesome, thanks Unsane. I'll do that.

CallFilter in the market will block calls for free and calls and tetxs in the pro version

also if you send a text to 9999 "block 10digit #" that will block texts
[EVO 4G General] asj2583:
I know cyanogen mod has a option to blacklist numbers. Calls will go straight to voicemail. You could try going to your people app and selecting the number you want it to go straight to voicemail (asuming you have the number saved in your contacts) selecting the contact and at the botton youll see the option to send the number straight to voicemail. Not sure if this works for texts.
[EVO 4G General] stevako:
Sms guard is free in the market

Great app, puts all incoming texts into a folder within the sms guard app, never rings or pops up at all. Set it and forget it
[EVO 4G General] pb4life754:
u know sprint cant block people from calling u. U have to use an app or use the blacklist in the people that most of the roms have even the stock
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
big thanks for the "straight to voicemail" tip, WOW, love this.
[EVO 4G General] sporklover:
That's an option in the stock roms as well. Just a feature Cyanogen carried over.
[EVO 4G General] hellcatt:
yea but why bother with an app that takes space then uses a folder that takes space that you wont ever even use?
[EVO 4G General] haxrnick:
Vote for callfilter from me. Having unlimited minutes I have it set to pick up/hang up and I never know the person even called unless I go into my call logs which I rarely do.

I have a G1 running CM 5.0.8 and for some reason my account was charged 5$ for "GPRS". I don't have a data plan so to my knowledge I cant use data. They have to option to get 200mb for 20$ but I didn't get it. Any one know why I was charged the 5$?

[KERNEL] [2.6.32.24] [HAVS] [BFS] [BFQ] KiNgxKernel #11/#11 "Con is an Artist"

I DO NOT have an HTC Evo, but would LOVE to have one for development, and am saving for one. Bear with me until then :) I just wanted to say thank you to the few who have donated. I am almost there, any help is appreciated!!! I plan to have my HTC Evo fairly soon :)

DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE ENTIRE POST ON MY SITE, THERE IS IMPORTANT INFO

So, just as the name implies, this is an Evo kernel with SVS (Static Voltage Scaling) & HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling.) A huge thanks to estes for the havs code and raven for being the first to implement it into the nexus kernel. What this does is provide SUPERIOR BATTERY life with stability to boot. Just flash the .zip in your favorite recovery image. Enjoy and post any bugs with a logcat please.

This is compatible with any 2.2 Sense ROM

Also, a little info on HAVS and AVS:

The purpose of HAVS is to minimize the power used by the CPU by determining
and setting the optimal voltage. At the same time, the maximum voltage by
which HAVS can scale to is fixed to a specified voltage depending on the
CPU frequency in order to prevent scaling to a higher voltage than what is
normally used at a specified voltage. The optimal voltage is actively determined
for each frequency and temperature. HAVS actively adjusts the CPU voltage as the
CPU frequency and temperature changes.

While we are at it, some info on BFS:

What is BFS(Brain **** Scheduler):http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/sched-BFS.txt
FAQS about BFS:http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/bfs-faq.txt

ENJOY!

While I would absolutely love HAVS, I also don't want to lose the modifications in netarchy's kernel with the FPS cap unlocked. Any way you could possibly integrate that into your kernel?

An update.zip would be grand, too.

I'll check it out once it offers the goodies netarchys does.

Battery life, performace, OC and FPS unlock with everything (like cameras) working as well ~
[EVO 4G Android Development] impactsto:
King is the real deal. I too flashed his stuff on my G1. Him putting his hat onto the table is most certainly a good thing for all of us. I have to say the Evo has the moat impressive list of developers I've seen yet. How many great things debs have putting out....and it's barely one month since the phone has been released.

Good luck King !
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
No to be argumentative, but the Evo was released over 2 months ago, on June 4th :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] impactsto:
Very true! Stupid days are all the same! Regardless, I'm impressed with all the work the devs have done in a short amount of time.

I can only imagine what kind of insane stuff will be out in December.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Looks good! FPS hack is huge over here for evos though, so if we could get that implemented in a build in the near future I would try it out.

If you don't mind me asking, do these codes somewhat effect performance? I only ask because I was watching the benchmarks being posted here, seeing linpack averages range in the low 30s. Stock froyo will pull 38ish. Battery is super important to me though, so those facts make no difference to me whether I flash it, but was just curious about some of these benchmarks I am seeing posted.

Thanks for your work king!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nize2beme:
Will this work with damage control? I know other kernels need to be adjusted for custom roms like fresh and dc. I need better battery, on vacation now and can't stand this battery.

Dont know how to search via taptalk sorry if this has already been addressed
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
That's because they use custom software, like dconfig in DC's case. you CAN flash a 'generic' kernel on those ROMs, but certain things won't work. This will work on DC, but you'll lose dconfig functionality, unless he compiles it with the DC image. It's a trade-off. I'm personally on baked snack until the devs fix the framework problems with DC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] occamsrzr:
First of all, anyone griping about king asking for money needs to move along and go elsewhere. He asked for donations, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED, THEY ARE VOLUNTARY!!

No offense, but the claim of longest battery life has been made without any proof whatsoever. I understand you implemented HAVS and CFS, but you have not provided any real-world test results of this actually performing as claimed on an EVO (neither has anyone else in 20+ pages of this thread). So how does anyone know that you implemented it correctly? Saying you developed kernels on another phone proves nothing on the EVO, especially since you personally have no way to test your own code on the EVO. Also, there are multiple reports of this kernel killing people's ADB. Finally, there were multiple reports of the flashable zip giving an error at line 15. Your response is to simply ignore the error. While the error *MIGHT* be harmless, it also *MIGHT* very well be harmful. What is line 15 trying to do? It is giving an error for a reason, and knowing it's coming from line 15 would make it easy to narrow down and resolve, even if it is purely a cosmetic issue and causes no harm.

Bearing all this in mind, I can see why many users are skeptical to flash a kernel with completely unfounded battery life claims to their phone.

Having said all this, odds are you have succeeded and made one kick-ass kernel.

Now it's time for you to prove it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
Hands DOWN the best battery life I've ever seen. I'm posting pic's now. I'm a App whore so I always have things draining it. I went from 10 hours battery to over over 40 with the same set up (projected by Juice Plotter however it normally projects 10-12 with the last one). I wish I didnt do a cache wipe so you could have seen the graph going straight down with the last kernel earlier in the night compared to what this is doing
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fiireball32:
Omg. King this kernel is breaking sweet I had my phone all night last nite and my battery is still alive...usually my phone would be close to dead right now

Thanks King for coming to the evo seen I have to donate to you

[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
From my reading...I come to the conclusion that ranting about what he has tested is not moving this discussion further. The point of unlocking our phones is to be lab ratz as the devs test their new projects on us. What the devs do is well worth any donation they ask for or some ppl voluntarily give.

Lets be productive and test this out.If you are scared then dont try but shut up as the rest of us lab ratz have work to do!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Just out of curiosity, what kernel were you using BEFORE?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
I've always used the latest out by Net. Yes I know, far worse battery life then everyone else gets. Like I said all of my Dev friends laugh at me because I have so many and so many that are killing the battery

So as of yesterday afternoon I was using Net's that was just released a day or so ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] occamsrzr:
Thanks for proof to back up the claims!

Now what about several reports of this killing off ADB?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
(Starting at 100%) In 6 hours of being unplugged I've lost 6% of battery life, then did two minutes of web browsing and lost an extra 2%, so far I love it. Will not charge this baby all day to see how far I can get! Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mntbkr:
Just updated to the #4 kernel and got some nice scores on quadrant, linpack. BTW this is the updated Linpack.

I can't figure out how to attach the other screened but the Linpack score was 38.866
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
nice. thats huge!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Hehe sorry, yeah it was already said, but I'll confirm, I meant Live Wallpaper. Some of them are worth it to me (Long time fan of pixel zombies) but now I just run em to show off.

The HTC radio widget is basically the same thing, I guess I use switchpro for the tons of other stuff, plus I'm an aesthetics guy, and it's really customizable. However, I'm not sure about how the gps pulls up due to requests, but since you have a widget for it, I'd turn it off when not using it. It's the biggest drain radio wise.

No one knows the details of said method, but since it's pretty quick and easy, I'd do it once a month, on ROM flashes, and whenever you see it's worn off.

By the way, just got juice defender and the paid addon, and it looks like it might help out some, and I reconfigured my setCPU profiles, which I think is very important for the little things.

Hope you can get decent batt life :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
Does anyone else notice that with ondemand in setcpu (using #4) CPU is mainly on the max and just goes back and forth between min and max. For example if I set 245mhz - 998mhz, it just bounces back and forth between 998 and 245. It's mostly on 998 but I never see anything in-between. It used to hit all kinds of frequencies in the middle with other kernels. But yeah... just back and forth back and forth.

Seems to me that the battery would last a lot longer if it stayed at the min more often like the ondemand preset used to do.

Any idea's on a weather app that works with this kernel? The stock htc widget works for forecast but I need something with a good radar loop. Imap, rainy days, weather bug, all force close. TWC won't show the map.

Not an apk, but if you need to know the weather, http://www.wunderground.com

It's a got a great radar screen with animation the the browser loves.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dmoses1969:
Using VirusRom Expresso version and BFS#4, I did not use my phone very much but still yet it definitely sleeps when not and use and sleeps well.

That is with light usage, maybe 20 text messages, 5 phone calls, light browsing, updating apps, installing a few apps, and exchange email set to "as items arrive"

Not bad huh?

I have setcpu set to conservative 115200 max, 245760 min, and 1 profile for screen off with min/max both set to 245 also.

[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Lol I agree.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
I'm using DC 3.5 with the compatible new #4 kernel flash over it. No task killers, no juice defender, but using SetCPU for profiles. Screen off is set to 245/384 conservative, 245/998 conservative on battery/screen on, and 245/1190 on-demand when plugged in.

It ran on battery overnight for 21hrs 51mins before going back on the charger today with 8% remaining. This was with the GPS on the entire time, included some light texting, some light web surfing, and a solid 5 or more hours talking on the telephone.

I'm extremely pleased with this kernel. I get a bit higher benchmark scores in Linpack and Quadrant using the netarchy kernel, but those numbers mean next to nothing in real life where battery time is everything.

Thank you for providing this to the community!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
how is the lag when turning on the screen?

One problem I'm having is, every time I turn the screen on, it lags for about 10 seconds or so. then it lags a little less when switching screens or pulling up the drawer, then its fine. It's like waking up early in the morning and it takes you a minute to get going.

I also have setcpu running, i'm just wondering if I'm not setting very good profiles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
i had the same problem....Fixed it by setting the screen off min freq to something higher like 537mhz..
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Seems like ramping the cpu up from 245 or 384 to your set MAX when you unlock the phone is too much for the undervolt and the phone struggles to get going.....Setting the screen off to 537 keeps the phone running at just a fast enough pace to have a smooth unlock without the lag
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
alright, that seems to work well. I also set the scaling to "performance". one of these days I'll have to sit and re-read the definitions for all the scaling options and see just what does what exactly.

im liking the kernel though. if I only get about 10-15 hours with moderate use, I'm happy :-) Although now that I think about it, thats probably asking a lot lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Performance wont let you cpu scale down and ur phone will run full blast all the time....Not to good for battery but its great for "performance":p

The only time i use performance is when i run benchmarks...other than that i use conservative
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmoses1969:
Gotta take a break every once in awhile. My wife gets mad too. So do my kids.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:

[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
I don't know if you can call that extra weight you're caring an unfair advantage. :P

[EVO 4G Android Development] mcrumps:
I've been reading through this thread, and I just want to know if anyone is stable above 1.19 ghz with this kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
depends more on your hardware. each evo is different. seems like 1.19 is a wall for most, but some can get by that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davebu:
Actually, running mine at 499 max ondemand with screen off. testing it, i can unlock the screen instantly as soon as it actually lights up, tried with conservative and even at something like 745 it wouldnt be instant makes a huge difference when getting a call. battery not suffering either, would be getting 25-30 hrs if i needed it, usually have about 40% left after a good 18 hr day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrewmc42:
Been using this for a few days now.

At first I hit some bad lag, rebooted and voila, it was fine.
