Hooolllleeeee crap!

This just went from interesting to awesome in just as fast as my upload and download speed increased.

I just did this test, using the Speedtest app. Here's the thing about this...it's wifi, which shouldn't be affected by this, right?

Here are my results.

Pre-flash (waited about 10 minutes after a phone reboot)

Current Server: Los Angeles, Ca (I'm currently in Sylmar)

Average download: 3.32

Average upload: 0.96

Post-flash (waited about 10 minutes after phone boot)

Current Server: Los Angeles, Ca (I didn't go anywhere)

Average download: 4.54

Average upload: 3.94

With no other change other than about 12 or 13 minutes between tests and this new data-cap remover, I got a pretty dramatic increase.

Now, I know this patch was intended for cell traffic, not wifi, but this blew me away and I had to post it. I also know there could be any number of other variables, but I'm going to note that I've been testing speeds every kernel flash since my OG Droid, and never were they this fast on my Incredible.

Can someone explain if the data-cap could also apply to the wifi for some reason?

Oh, and I'm running stock kernel with this test.

And there is no cell traffic speed test right now because the signal is 1 bar or nothing here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stu_Gotti:
If you do consecutive tests you'll find that the numbers vary largely from test to test... but I truly believe it certainly does something to speed the DL's and UL's.

I'm trying to install the White Circle Battery in MM but it's taking very long. It just stays at the "Please wait" and the circle thing keeps going and going. It doesn't freeze up, I can go back to the home screen, do whatever, etc.. I've tried it 3 times and had to force close it to stop. Everything is normal. Does this thing just take extremely long to install or what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EnixLHQ:
Try rebooting and installing again. Happened to me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] babin-o:
Trying it now and still does the same thing :(

How many times did you try? I might just forget it, it can't be that cool :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stu_Gotti:
What else do you have done?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] babin-o:
Just HeyItsLou #4 and the button mapping for the camera.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
Anyone else using launcherpro and experiencing a little lag when you first swipe to another home screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] amonra50:
You have usb debugging off; turn it on and try again.

settings > applications > development > usb debugging checkbox

I was having the same issue, found a solution on another forum, figured it wasnt very logical but tried it anyway and the mm theme installed on the first try.

Just to double check things before I posted this, I turned off debugging, tried mm battery2 theme, and it hangs as you describe. Turned usb debugging back on and it installs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] babin-o:
Thank you! That was it!

Random question, but is it normal for my phone to go from 3g to 1x while receiving and sending texts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] amonra50:
yes, this is normal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] babin-o:
Okay, that's good to know, I never noticed that before. Btw, how is Chad's kernel running for you? I tried running it after I reflashed SR3.5 and I let it charge and it literally dropped to 94 from 99% in like 2-3 minutes. I loved how fast it charged but now I'm back on HeyItsLou #4. Runs great for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] apaxi:
Read up on how bump charging affects our batteries and why it is not a good idea (i.e. why our batteries rapidly drop to 90%). I'll try to find the posts and add the links here. Long story short, it is a good thing that your battery drops to 90% when using Chad's or other kernels.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] amonra50:
It is normal for battery charge to drop sometimes as much as 10% when taken off of charge without a bump charge. Read through this thread, it explains a lot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051&highlight=battery+lying

Chads kernel is awesome, it would take a lot to get me to change to a different one; he does good work in my opinion. this conversation is getting a bit off topic however...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] apaxi:
Thanks, amonra50! That's the post I was looking for. I second Chad's kernels... they are the best out there IMO.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
Yep--it's a LP issue, as it's happened to me on numerous ROM's. It's my one big gripe about LP, and as much as I like the app and the developer, I've barely gotten an acknowledgement over on the LP forums about this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about switching to ADW EX... but I like LPP calendar widget :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] forzdaZE96:
gingerbread KB?

I just came over to SR 3.5 from Uncommon. I like the fact it is still being developed, whereas Uncommon is not, but got the Uncommon Sense Theme to make me feel at home haha. I also wanted to get a peek at the GB keyboard, but have not found it in SR. I dont believe I messed it up because its running smooth as anything, but im still stuck with the HTC keyboard. I scoured this thread for an hour, and couldnt come up with anything. Unless I missed something, of course.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
Go into your SMS program and long press the text box on a new message. it'll give you a choice for Android Keyboard - choose that and you're set.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EnixLHQ:
But he has mentioned doing a complete re-write more than once and that the code right now is too bloated and inefficient. I can only assume issues like this are what he is talking about.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I'm agreeing with that.

Is anyone using a good calendar grid widget?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] forzdaZE96:
all better!! thanks.

Ive been on Virtuous, Uncommon, and now Skyraider 3.5. I can definitely say SR3.5 is the best! Upgraded kernel from rom manager doesnt seem to be doing too bad either....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] forzdaZE96:
now what about the circle battery pack? i tried to flash it twice now and nothing. im still on the stock one??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] amonra50:
It's not a flashable zip... you have to install it with an app named metamorph... go back and read the original post again... it's all spelled out...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dincdoes:
U dont flash it... use metamorph
[Droid Incredible Android Development] babin-o:
And make sure you have USB debugging on or it'll hang.

How can I get the app drawer semi-transparent with the 4 columns like in the screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
Yeah, I haven't completely jumped ship from LP+ yet, as I'm looking forward to the rewrite (mentioned below), but I recently bought ADW EX, and so far, it's very nice. Still missing a few features that I've come to depend on in LP (e.g. multiple docks, swipe gestures), but I'm giving it a test run, and I'm really liking it so far.

Yeah, I read about this a while back, and I'm really looking forward to this. If Fede can implement some of the most requested features (e.g. performance/smoothness improvements, "profiles" a la Sense "Scenes", etc.), then this will remain my launcher of choice.

If you're using LP+, the calendar widget is very nice, and very sense like. Otherwise, Pure Grid Calendar widget is a very nice option, but not free.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gravestoned:
I've been using SkyRaider 3.5 for a while now, and only recently have begun having an issue where if I receive a text while pressing the top screen-off button, the phone will freeze up. When I run a logcat I just get

W/SharedBufferStack( 237): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=8410, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.

W/SharedBufferStack( 97): waitForCondition(ReallocateCondition) timed out (identity=8414, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.

W/SharedBufferStack( 97): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=4, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.

W/SharedBufferStack( 97): waitForCondition(ReallocateCondition) timed out (identity=8413, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.

After a minute of that, the phone reboots and all is well again. Any ideas what may be causing this? I'm pretty sure the trigger is receiving the text while hitting screen off, but I'm not sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] axemanmike:
i like calendar pad pro ...it shows text in the widget very kool

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
This wont work, sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Hey ihtfp69, loving 3.5, came back from MIUI and I don't know why I ever left. Two quick questions: A) in the next update are you going to implement the version of the gingerbread keyboard that is in Athena, with the working inline correction? Because that would be awesome. B) (this might not even be possible) but is there any chance that the "screen-off" animation from gingerbread (looks like a CRT turning off) could make it's way into this ROM? I know lots of people love that feature, but have been unsuccessful at bringing it out of the gingerbread ports. Thanks for your great work, most complete ROM out there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jazi:
Actually, it kind of does. Everything regular works. SkyRaider settings generally seem to work, at least with the notification widget, and trackball wake seems to. Render does nothing though.

My SkyRed Theme uses it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
how do I get to here: /system/skyraider/widget.user/custom.txt

super noob who just dl'd SR3.5 for my first rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
You must be one of the lucky ones then, I tried it and as soon as I hit the settings menu my phone froze up so bad I had to pull the battery.

Then it wouldn't boot - Stuck in a boot loop so I restored from the nand I done prior to trying it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Audisdank:
so is it actually true that you can flash over any IncredibleDoes Z port based ROM with out wiping?

I've heard rumors of this being true, and well i have the base desire z ROM on my phone right now n am not looking forward to the usual backup/restore whole thing again.

I'm going to try it either way, I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Audisdank:
what is your reason for trying to get there?

and have try the app Astro File Manager from the market?

or do you want to access this file before you flash?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stam2000:
Contacts would be great there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
I just donated to the OP for the beer fund :)

Three things:

1. Will 3.0 require a clean & wipe, or can it be installed straight without it?

2. Any way to patch the DSP audio to get the hardware EQ in Cy's rom?

3. I know it is not Skyraider's fault that Android STILL have not corrected the "Low on space" error, but it would be nice if Skyraider 3.0 did fix it :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
1. RC1 required a full wipe/clean. Not sure yet if RC2 can be flashed over RC1 (doubt it), but if you're coming from 2.5.2 you'll need to backup and wipe;
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I remember when SR started as a froyo evo port. Ah back in the day like 2-3 months ago. OP was reluctant to start taking donations but we talked him into it. Glad it worked out. Can't wait for 3.0!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Seriously? Read the OP - RC2 will be public today.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
My question regarding a wipe is if the Gold 3.0 will require a wipe of RC2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
So for the people that flash ROMs all the time, what is the method that you use to backup your apps and settings and then restore them once the new ROM is installed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
Two stages suggested, but a question as well:

1. Nandroid your current set-up (I think if you use Rom manager it does it automatic?)

2. Next stage would be Titanium, but in this case, would we just backup apps and restore apps and data- Or, would we back up apps and system data and restore all of it?

My guess is since a wipe is needed, we only backup and restore apps and their own data.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pacedrum69:
I am running 3.0 rc1.. and i have had a few random reboots...and have noticed , when using Wifi.. i cant use the market. it says "network error" . Anyone else haivng these issues? Other than that, great ROM. Im glad I donated :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] le0.br4zuc4:
Great job man!

Looking forward to try it out!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ximfinity:
I have had trouble restoring apps with Titanium, What i do is:

1) Titanium data & Appbrain Sync

2) Nandroid and flash rom with full wipe (ROM Manager)

3) Restart phone, install Appbrain and log in

4) Go through appbrain Installs

5) Go through local APK installs (swype, etc...)

6) Restore App data through titanium

Not sure if this is the best method, but it seems to work consistently across any roms
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
This is what I am doing also. I just wanted to make sure that there was a 'better' way of doing it. I like doing it this way though because I get all the updated apps from the market then.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
Loving all the updates and cannot wait for the vanilla version to come out.

I want to donate to the beer fund but cannot seem to find a way to do so without using my paypal account.

Is there a way to just use a credit card?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Faster way would be to restore apps+data through Titanium, and then run an Appbrain update. That way you don't have to do everything manually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ximfinity:
Did you clear the market cache?

Settings-> Application-> Manage-> all-> Market-> Clear Cache
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
I haven't, and OP requested we not discuss "bugs" as most have been resolved. Not trying to police, just clarifying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ximfinity:
I have found that the market does not notify you of updates if you install through titanium, its as if you are running pirated copies of all your software.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Gold 3.0 meaning 3.0RC1? I don't think we know yet but given the number of changes from RC1 I'm guessing yes. But just guessing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Y'know if it wasn't for that terribly limited bottom bar, I'd love Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tturner:
My Market links restore just fine with Titanium.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
BFS #1 seems to be pretty solid. Other than that #2 is really stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Skyraider, thank you for your diligent work and contributed ways to android. My wife rocks your Rom as I rock Fresh or Calkulin for my Evo. I have extracted many things, such as the hulu and flash and have been using it as well as made a thread for the latest swype and patches from you in the Evo thread.

Keep up the hard work and always remember all the work is always appreciated.

Sent From The Moon... :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drkramm:
if your overclocked turn that down a notch im pretty stable at 1152 but once i open up the browser it will close with no warning also turned it down to 1113 and it works great
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drkramm:
bfs 1 gave my the most stable (1113mhz) and longest battery life #2 was good too but three gave me issues now and then
[Droid Incredible Android Development] techferret:
I third the BFS#1 kernel from kingxkernel...Its the most rock solid kernel I've used on the INC and its giving me killer battery life :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stu_Gotti:
I've been impressed with it thus far. I haven't used any other kernel's yet, so I can't compare.

My next choice is to upgrade the radio...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] b1gd4ddyx:
Glad I checked the forum tonight I was wondering what was causing my browser just to close for no reason
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
Just got my score to 1600+ using BFS #1 (OC=1190MHz)

I can get a stabe 1470+ (OC=1152MHz)

Can't wait to see if SR3 is even better!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] b1gd4ddyx:
Lucky I can't get stable at 1190Mhz
[Droid Incredible Android Development] THEPOGCBR900RR:
HD2?

Will this work on a rooted HD2?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IShootPixels:
I was running it at 1.036 and still had issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
No, only flash ROMs cooked for your device, or you will end up with a brick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
I haven't tested to see if I'm stable at 1190Mhz. I doubt that I would be. I know I'm stable at 1152MHz. I was just able to run the Benchmark at 1190MHz and get my Quad. Score.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jager420:
Been using this new ROM and I have no issue so far, that he didn't state. But when using internet and then ending tasks and later using it again, it doesn't go to Google home page. It opens on the last page I was on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
This is what I did to fix that. Might not work for you though.

1. Open Browser

2. Menu>More>Settings>Set home page>Set home page (again)

3. Type http://www.google.com/

4. then press Use current, it should be what you just typed.

That should work.

Battery

Does anyone know how to get that battery widget or whatever that says your % of battery life in words? Its in the picture on the home screen but i can't figure it out. :mad:

Yep it is BattStatt thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlanPototsky:
I think it is called BattSatt in the market.

edit - BattStatt (early in the morning)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] b1gd4ddyx:
You've had much more luck then I at 1190Mhz, I can't even exit out of setcpu w/o the phone rebooting lol. I'm still very impressed with the quad score
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
SR 3 RC2 and KingKernel BFS #1

Set CPU back to just over 1 GHz

Up time 5 Hours

Awake Time 25 minutes

Still at 93% with overclock and KingKernel #2 I would have been around 80-85%

Huge improvement.

Since I cannot over type the processor at 1GHz there is no need for CPU speed above this.

I know Quadrant and Linkpac and a lot of others speed validation software numbers will drop but since I have no other short comings there is no need for big numbers to make up for non-existent deficiencies ...:rolleyes:

Can't wait for the SR 3.0 release today, I feel like a kid waiting for SC to drop down my chimney.

Ya'll have a great week end...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gravestoned:
Sorry to have to ask again but ihtfp69 or anyone with enough knowledge, any ideas at all what could be causing the issue I posted just up above? I have not installed anything new, and do not run any taskkillers or a different kernel. Stock SR3.5 and this repeated error via logcat mystifies me. Searching the net only leads to unrelated issues. That "pegged" term is what I cannot figure out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
I want to change the toggle buttons on the SR drop down menu

Nevermind GOT IT!!!! with root explorer
[Droid Incredible Android Development] titans808:
Hey guys, I was wondering if you could tell me how to get my launcher to look exactly like the rosie mappings in the second post? When I apply it, it looks like the stock sense with the corrected mapping, but wanted it to look like the ones shown. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mistamista2000:
Do you have S-OFF?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] titans808:
I do have s-off, thanks for replying
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
You need Root Explorer from the market. After starting root explorer, find the folder named system in the list, press it. Now at the top of the screen, press Mount r/w to change the folder to read/write.

Then find folder skyraider, press it. Find folder widget.user, press it.

Now find file custom.txt in the list, and long press. Select 'Open in text Editor' from the pop-up list. Change the text as instructed in the op and then save the file.

Now back at the root explorer screen press the back button twice to navigate up to the system folder again. Press Mount r/o at top of screen to change back to Read/Only.

Exit root explorer and reboot.

Thanks for your response. I'm assuming I can't use Rom manager with a slcd though right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
Actually you can now.

1. Download Rom Manager

2.Open Rom Manager (It should say theres an update available for ClockworkMod Recovery)

3.Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 <---SLCD support

Yeah even if ClockworkMod didn't have SLCD support you could still use ROM Manager. It'll just be a black screen and you'll have no idea if its working until it reboots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
If your phone rebooted, it threw a hard exception. Those start with E not W.

This is not supported and does not work. Do not post anymore about it in this thread. For anyone else trying to break your rom, do not post any problems as a result of this.
