Great question. Anyone have any knowledge on this? I didn't let mine discharge all the way.

I do have some kind of update. I had to do a factory wipe today and since I did that my battery life has been much better.
[Droid Incredible General] LTL11:
Has anyone else done this that can report there results?

I was about to do this but now I am skeered.
[Droid Incredible General] vantagejuan:
It's completely impossible for wiping your battery stats to make your battery life worse. It's a common misconception that by wiping your battery stats you somehow condition your battery. It's actually quite the opposite, because you're actually conditioning Android by wiping your stats. No matter what your battery percentage or meter says, your battery is still capable of holding a certain amount of electrical charge and your phone will not die until it's fully discharged. On the other hand it *might* make your percentage or battery meter read wrong if you either:

a. wiped your battery stats without a full bump charge (e.g. wiping your stats at 60% charge *might* make your phone think 60%=100% and as a result, you'd see huge decreases. but, you would most likely sit there with a phone showing a 1% charge for hours after it got there.)

b: didn't allow your phone to discharge fully after wiping your stats (same problem as example a, but the inverse of it)

All wiping your battery stats does is delete the file "batterystats.bin" from your /data/system folder. This file is recreated when you boot your phone after wiping them. It keeps the data on what's using your battery for when you click "battery use" in the settings menu. It's also thought to hold the stats that tell you phone what a full charge and no charge feels like and that if you fully bump charge your phone, wipe that battery stats, and then full discharge your phone (without interrupting it by switching ROMs or doing updates) that you will have a more accurate battery meter. It won't eliminate the need to bump charge your phone or make your battery life better. It will just be perceived as better since you won't get 20% drops in your reading in 30 minutes due to a badly calibrated batterystats.bin file. Also, you'll feel better because instead of looking at a 50% reading, you'll be looking at 60%.

Your battery still has the same capacity, charges to the same level, and discharges in the same amount of time. The only thing that can change those things are usage levels.
[Droid Incredible General] SLOflatlander:
so should i redo my wipe battery stats then? when i originally did it, i ran it down to around 40%, then rebooted, then i plugged it in around 15%. would this mess it up then?
[Droid Incredible General] RogerPodacter:
Do you know how we can see what's inside the actual batterystats.bin file? I tried in root explorer and cannot open in no matter how I try.
[Droid Incredible General] zipkicker:
i dont care what vantagejuan says, when i tried this process...and did it correctly, my battery was down to 85% within an hour..i know this because i unplugged it when i woke up for work, and i when i clocked in, it was at 85%

it was never this bad, i tried locating the file again from an old backup, but it didnt help...im hoping that like someone else said, a couple cycles through it will get better

im using the skyraider 2.5.2 vanilla with the hydra oc/uv kernal

i had this setup before AND after trying the battery fix and im using the seidio 1750...

frustrations are back from when i first got the phone
[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
Well that's your problem. He's explaining WHY this cannot possibly affect your battery life. It merely affects your phones PERCEPTION of battery life. You will get the same uptime in real time from before and after a wipe, the percentages reported at certain time intervals can vary wildly, however.
[Droid Incredible General] RogerPodacter:
well it seems that we learned that wiping the battery stats is actually been the wrong file this entire time. that is, if recovery mode deletes the file batterystats.bin, then that was deemed to have nothing to do with battery whatsoever. in fact, all battery info is done inside the battery itself in the ds2784 IC fuel gauge.

what we need is A) find out what recovery actually deletes. and B) write a special utility to pull all register bit info from ds2784 so we can put the battery into learning mode, as seen in this palm pre thread. the palm pre has the same ds2784 battery gauge as the nexus, incredible, etc.

http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/256967-find-out-how-good-bad-your-battery-6.html

also, we found a fix as to why "bump charging" works and how to fix it. check out the thread and read till the end. very interesting stuff!!

[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Yes, VERY Interesting. And mostly over my head. But that doesn't stop me from watching them work on this. :)
[Droid Incredible General] jbrowning37:
I was only getting about 6 hours of normal use out of my phone. After I deleted the battery stats, I am getting around 14 hours of use. So it does work. I'm glad mine doesn't drain like you guys are talking about lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cannon1707:
Hey all.

I work in a phone shop and we've had an X10 out on display for a few weeks. Someone has accidentally put a pattern lock on the phone and now there is not way to access the phone, as a googlemail account wasn't setup.

I have tried all of the usual things like taking the battery out, holding the left and right buttons while holding the power button, but nothing has worked so far.

I have tried repairing the software using the PC Companion software, but it does not recognise the phone, as i cannot get access to the phone to put it into "PC Mode".

Anyone got any other suggestions as to how to fix this?

Many Thanks, David.
[Streak 5 General] devdarshan:
I have been a user of Windows for long lomg time and have loved it when I had the liberty to flash clean cooked ROMS onto my device. Rarely, I stuck to Stock ROM's or over bloated ones no matter how stable!

Will we ever see the light of day when the streak will get to see some cooked ROM's which are not bloated with added apps?

I got my Streak bout a fortnight ago - so far tested and mostly fixed on downloaded apps - but really pissed as I still have crap on my streak which I do not use - why do we need to live with this?

Am now looking to dump the 2.1 - but sceptical as I nee many bricks flying around for units purchased online direct from Dell....

I really hope to see some cook - take the initiative and start cooking some clean workable ROM's
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I am sure it will not be long before you have your wish, Paul over at Modaco is the main Cook at the moment nip over he has a custom ROM :)
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
I have no idea what you're talking about. What 'bloated' ROMs?

Why don't you just open the update.zip, remove all the crap you don't need, resign it, done. Or, just uninstall the apps you don't want? It's not exactly hard to do.

You also sound incredibly ungrateful, these devs put A LOT of hard work into these ROMs and you just complain about a few apps they've included? If you don't like it, why don't YOU start making ROMs. This thread is essentially just pure laziness on your part.

Wow. "why do we need to live with this?" It's not essential to life, It's a ROM. grow up.
[Streak 5 General] devdarshan:
Chill out Meltus.

Am not sitting here to start another debate on disrespecting Chef's - never had that intention anyway if you had read my post with a clear mind! - I have been a user of custom cooked ROM's since the days of XDA IIs and never had a reply of such.

My title read - 'Moved from windows' - which implied that I am new to Android and still experimenting - infact I am still on my stock ROM on my dell online purchased unit and was only lookign for a way to uninstall Touchdown etc to save on space in memory.

Thanks for the tip on changing update.zip - now I have a solution which I can look into!

I said we dont need to live with this and it was not pointed to any Chef - it was pointed to Dell - who have installed all crap on the unit (which I am trying to remove) and being in a forum - you will have to appreciate - we all have the right to ask questions - some may be good and some naive!

So mine was naive - and thanks for your answers.
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Ah, I apologise, I thought you were referring to ROM developers, sorry :(

Anyway, if you want to open the zip, remove stuff, and then sign it again, you'll need the signing tool - http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html

Sorry again, i guess i just completely mis-read your post ><
[Streak 5 General] devdarshan:
Cool! am already opening up and playing around! if I have a brick in my hands - I'll jump out of the 3rd floor window and you'll have to carry me to the hospital

ps: I weigh 120Kgs!!!!!
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Haha, i think it's almost impossible to brick the streak at the moment, you can always just fastboot flash the stock recovery image then flash the stock update.pkg from Dell!

I'm a weak f***er so that's out of the question :D
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
I too have come from WM and have been using it since it came out in '98. One thing I miss is the ability to view and tweak the registry. Like on the HD2 just change

'Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P2\ EncodeFormat' to '2147483647' and you have loads of additional video recording formats!
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
You can also remove ROM apps by using Root Explorer (need rooted phone obviously) and removing the offending /apk files from /system/apps and then clearing the Dalvik-cache and rebooting.

I just flashed the 2.1 ROM on my AT&T/US Streak and got rid of Touchdown and Amazon MP3. No more icons I don't use, nor widgets to scroll through.

here's a good guide to it:

http://www.market4android.com/how-to-remove-stock-android-apps.php

Good luck.
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
Be careful about removing ROM apps, ive done this a few times and then i got endless process error....eeeek :S
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
Good to know. I was wondering if it was so easy, why would everyone care about what apps are installed if you can just zap em if you don't want them. Well thankfully I developed no ill effects from my deletions, and I removed those I really didn't want.

I'm not enough of a linux/Android gear head to know better. I'm a pretty good Windows gear head, but never knew Linux well which is too bad with all the cool Androids coming along in the handheld space. Oh well, learning new tricks is good too i suppose...

thanks

free market app called autokiller

used for a while on agressive settings , stopped using it 2 weeks ago , I dont see any diffrences at all , great guide tho !
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MrPadie:
I know - I realised that there's a market app :P Silly me, seeing as I've used that app on my hero before. *stupid slap*

But, I prefer things like this to be incorperated into the system files as opposed to being set by an app - just one less thing to worry about I suppose. With that said however, either way will work :P

MrP.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dsixda:
Great thread!! I was acually thinking about this a couple of days ago, I thought it wasn't possible because we need to modify the init.rc in the boot.img to initialize it... But of course we have our mot_boot_mode that can do that ;)

im looking for a rom with full flash support, the one from bell crashs on every site, my old nexus never crashed...

which room is the best on for full adobe support, ive a euro i9000...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blackstoneuser5:
As in Adobe Flash 10.1? Some people have reported that 'flash_for_21.zip' works for Android 2.1 but I haven't been successful so far in getting it to work.

Officially Adobe Flash 10.1 for Android only supports Android 2.2 Froyo because of the new APIs that Flash requires so I presume using one of the recent 'beta' Froyo firmwares (I9000XXJP1/2/3) and installing Flash from the market or side loading it would be your best bet.

Flash isn't a major need for me so waiting until the official Froyo next month is what i'll be doing unless someone could help me get flash_for_21 to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Which of the beta rom´s is the stablest and best working with flash?

JP2 Works Perfect with Flash.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany0:
Since I've found a quite big difference in size between Need For Speed: Shift versions I thought I could enhance music/textures in the snapdragon version.

So first of all I want to ask, is there and chance that we could hack/recompile any apks without touching some protection? AFAIK they are using md5 checks, but they are hackable.

Next, do you think it would make any sense except making games run with better graphics(we can make higher quality sounds, use higher resolution textures and maybe add bumpmaps/specmaps if they're supported by the game AND it searches for them) and may-be "mod"(replace all textures with You're winner :D) the games. But is there any possibility to use them in any other useful way?

And at last, are you interested? I personally think that if I could do that I'd enhance NFS:Shift and downgrade Asphalt 5 and that's it. Really I have no idea why else would I "hack" apks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackstoneuser5:
APKs are based on the JAR format which is basically a ZIP file - you can extract files from an APK, modify them, rezip to an APK and self-sign the APK.

I had a look at the NFS:Shift demo (CRC32 - 74CFDB53 / 104,113,671 bytes) and it contains a bunch of assets which you could potentially change if you so wished. Does anyone else have any different APKs?

MP3s could be replaced to music of your liking, not sure why they decided to include that many songs for what appears to be 1 free track in the demo, I didn't play it too long to find out. I'll have a look at res.dz.jpg tommorow which looks like it contains all the other game assets.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany0:
Yeah I've done 100% the same thing you did :D

The rez.dz.jpg thing doesn't open up though, it's some kind of internal compression algorithm. Though someone from russian nfs community may hack it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
In my Version there are all mp3 sound files on the sdcard!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheBigB86:
I got you a little file list to begin with.

The file separation doesn't seem to be very intricate, but the compression needs work.

If tomorrow I'm just as bored as today I might give it a shot :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany0:
LOL thx dude you're awesome ;o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany0:
so I think the .dz.jpg has been already hacked, cause it may have been used in some other PC/Console NFS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bcpk:
I'm more interested in curtailing some of the suspicious permissions that the hacked version of NFS:Shift requests. Read/Write Contacts, really?
