Just in case someone misreads that like I did the difference mentioned is not 2MB but 0.2MB... The average user is not going to want to deal with loading a module before using certain apps. So I can't really do that.

At least with CIFS support the main app that uses it supports loading the module for you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
That's funny because I had issues with r7.7 too.

We're not the only ones with the issue either:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6406

I'm guessing it's a bug in the wireless driver or Android. No idea on a fix though. :(

There seem to be some apps on the marketplace for dealing with this. If I find one that works I'll post info here.

I Think i faind some problem

When i plaing music and close the screen than i open it again, the music will have a half second stop probelm

is it a Kernel probelm or something else??

Thanks for the hard work
[HD2 Android SD Development] atticus182:
This is related to the kernel, and hastarin is aware of the issue. For now there's no fix, but then it's not really a big problem either :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sydneybelinda:
Hey Hastarin,

Seeing as though your Kernel is no lonnger undervolting and Overclocking why should I continue to use your Kernel over the Stock Kernel? Wouldn't the stock kernel be better because it is being updated more regularly?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nuja:
Hi,

Is it possible to add darkstone's gpu tweaks (shadow write and writecombine flag) to r8 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] LondonTownGuy:
The details and changes over GIT(stock) are in first post so you can easily read and decide for yourself which Kernel to use, how about interactive govenor, wifi mac fix, speed tweaks to name a few. R8 is dated 30.10 The one from GIT is 29.10 so I think it is 'up to date'
[HD2 Android SD Development] Screemi:
since i use r8 my battery drain never went under 8mA in min and around 10mA avarage standby. with 7.7 i had 4-6mA. it's sad that the uv is gone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] famewolf:
why not browse the changelog and figure out if anything is of use to you? For example...he adds the interactive governor...regularly adds patches long before they go to maintree...is working to again support extended battery's..etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BaCo:
Do you have WinAmp installed?

I has by default an option set "Mount SDcard on USB connection"...

I had this problem too and found this solution for me a couple of hours ago...
[HD2 Android SD Development] hewlett777:
Ok, so while this has been giving me constant SOD (shubcraft 2.0) I have at least been able to run it for 10-11 hours at a go.

However this morning, I just get SOD right after boot, right after the 'loading x logo' it vibrates and boooooom SOD.

Wiping the SD card and reinstalling this combo, just incase it was an app I have installed that eventful casued the problems, damn this is so furstrating, feels like 1 step forward etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
Freaking life saver!!!! I just had this problem like five minutes ago and just rebooted out of it think it was just an fluke. LMAO Then I read your post about the very app I was trying to use that gave me an error with my sdcard. LMAO

Can you go to ipv6.google.com on your phone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbezja1:
well im bringing this up because change logs speak about fixing/decreasing it, but i have seen absolutely no decrease. because noone else was bringing it up i figure it must be something im doing wrong..
[HD2 Android SD Development] glofiishx500:
Thank you very much for this hint :) What a STUPID default setting :( This was also my problem and because of autokill sometimes it worked fine and sometimes not...

But if you like this winamp feature enabled that I found another workaround:

push the 'remove sd card' item, then plug the device into usb and then remount the sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] glofiishx500:
Thx for this hint but it did not work because I had the Winamp auto-mount problem - maybe this is also your problem..
[HD2 Android SD Development] jagpoag:
Thanks for all the work you doing here man. Things are getting faster and better everyday because of it
[HD2 Android SD Development] gdspd:
Thank you for your fantastic work!

I'm getting great performance and amazing battery life with r8 on darkstone's FroyoStone Sense 3.2. Haven't charged since approx 30 hours now, still have power left. (Regularly turn on Wifi/3G for data, use bluetooth in car) Best combination for me so far..

As a note for some people who have issues, perhaps this helps: I used to copy different builds and files to the SD card by starting WM and using USB. This seems to have sometimes caused problems. (lag/freeze/etc)

When I use a cardreader to read the memory card, format it and copy the files, no problems at all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
I thought so too. I do bring it up but noone else ever claims to have problems. I thought I was the only one. Seriously. I have brought it up in several threads. Even created new ones.... nothing from the gang though. LOL

So the ipv6 requirement is not really one based on functionality as most networks don't support it.

See?

Google is ****ing weird.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Touch screen issues are vastly improved but they're not solved and, at least from my understanding, probably never will be. The way we're having to communicate with the various devices in the phone share a common bus and sometimes it gets saturated. That said I tend to only see the associated errors in dmesg (i2c errors) after waking up the phone.

But then I don't walk around using my phone too often either, and I leave auto-rotate disabled because it just annoys me.

Fair enough, but I still don't think I'll remove it for the masses. I'll get far too many people asking about it if I do. ;)

I know (based on downloads, plus builds that come with it) my kernels are being used by at least 6,000 people out there.

@hastarin

Any chance you could backport this fix for your 7.7 extended battery users since it looks like it's gonna be a bit before 8.0 has extended battery support?

- Added PPP patch from http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2212 (no this does not fix everything with PPP)

I'm testing the new wrapper and letama pointed out my kernel did not have his patch as part of the problem from my logs.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
That's not the patch he's talking about. I have reverted that patch on my current test kernel.

I will see how much time I get on the weekend. I've ordered an extended battery for testing but unfortunately it hasn't shipped yet. I'll call them Monday if it's not on the way by then.

Hi,

I wanted to ask for a detailed explanation what causes the freeze issue and if it will ever be fixed, i am very curious.

Thank you :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Chitown021:
Should have stuck w/ the philosophy "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I was getting ruthless battery life w/ this kernel (8) even w/o running setcpu. Then I went and flashed the latest NRG rom (Nov 2nd) and my battery life has gone to crap.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Virtualburn:
Be interesting to see a table of various configs people have and what is working and what isn't. I have to say say since upgrading to r8 Android is running like it's the native OS on my HD2.. apart from a data conenct issue it's pretty much usuable for 100% of what I use it for.

See sig for combo.

This was after a clean hard reset and direct install of Android after Miri/Dink's Rom.. even makes WinMo look tasty again ;}
[HD2 Android SD Development] TonyCubed:
@hastarin

I see you've applied an update to git, is there a new kernel incoming for us?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbezja1:
i have seen absolutely no decrease in TS lag so i guess the problem must be on my side. i will format my SD and do a clean install.

i would like to copy my saved words for texting. where do i find it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] domineus:
I could use a new kernel =)

ty for all of the hard work hastarin
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
My commits since r8 are just cleaning up compiler warnings. Nothing worth building a new kernel for.

There are commits on the main tree but they're quite minor (light sensor polling back to 5 seconds and a tweak for non Sense builds with light sensor levels are the only one's that will have any affect on SD usage). I'm working today (Friday here) and likely out for the evening.

I'll see about releasing a new build some time over the weekend, time permitting, but like I said, there is nothing major there.

On another note my phone currently has an uptime of 29 hrs 34 minutes. That's the longest I've run without something deciding to chew CPU and having to reboot the phone. I have however run in to another issue.

The phone won't automatically sleep at the moment. :(

I have to hit the end call button to force it to sleep. If anyone has had that issue and found a solution let me know. I'll fiddle a bit if I get the chance, but may just give in and see if a reboot clears it up. :S
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
Thats interesting. I do know that when we have OC available I would set CPU to 1130 / Performance when running off A/C power in the car. I would rarely ever get TS freezing when overclocking. I guess that overclocked the bus also then it probably was able to respond to requests faster thus eliminating the freezing.

It seems to me that the system is polling the sensors too much/frequently is there a way to reduce that? I think I am over simplifying it but do you get where i can going?

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place or whatever.

I'm looking for themes for LeeDroid 2.1, I thought that this would be a good place to put them all here. Specifically I'm looking for a straight up espresso bar mod, and I'm interested what else works with LeeDroid

themes made for the official htc froyo update will work with leedroid, have you tried making your own , using the dr droid online kitchen? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
I have indeed had a look at the excellent Dr Droid kitchen, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but indeed nice. I'm not too fussed with changing Sense's icons, especially since the OTA recently added some colour.

What I would like to do however, is get the espressobar and some other Launcher type theming, that still enable the full use of Sense's widgets, my Clock and News widgets are going NOWHERE thanks.

Trouble that I've found with the espressobar is that I can't find a solid straight up version for 2.2, correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I can't see it.

Hope this helps!

I forgot to mention theres a minimalist bar as well from the simplism theme

Those two themes would go nice together for sure, the whole custom icon for each app is good, but it does take a lot of work, besides I adore Sense's icons.

Yeah, I've studied the thread you linked before, that's what I want, just EspressoMod, for both home and lock/call screens, butit's for 2.1 as far as I can tell.

And why adb? What's wrong with an Update.zip

I'd be happy to test your theme once complete, as long as there are no reboot loops lol! I LOATH reboot loops! Give me an e-mail when it's done or just for whatever! Should be in my profile.

Hi there,

I didnt realise it was a 2.1 but if you read all the way back, they ported it for 2.2 already and packed as a zip. Should work on the latest leedroid 2.1 as well since all my theme files I used is from all the way back since 1.6

[Desire General] wanted008:
Hi, I want to know if there is a way to sync all my calender entries instead of just one month ago. As this option does not sync all calender entries.

In the previous htc sync program there was a option to sync all calenders and the option to select which calenders you wanted to sync. But on this new version there is no options or advanced options.

Is there a way round this or any one know of any good third party sync programs? Thanks in advance :D

[Fascinate General] chronster:
After rooting my phone and using titanium backup (per erichss's suggestion) from the market to remove apps I'll never use, the battery life on my phone is better than anything I've ever experienced.

Yesterday I took it off the charger at around 10-11, then went to a food and wine festival in DC and took pictures and video and basically just used the phone a lot. Last night before bed (past 12) when I hooked it up to the charger, it said the phone was at 70%! I know it's only like 12 hours of use, but still, I DO notice a difference in the rate at which it goes down.

When I first got the phone, I would be getting the low battery warning around the time I got home from work after about 10 hours of being on, AND sitting at my desk for 8 hours in airplane mode since there's no service.

I don't know what exactly it was that I removed that had the biggest impact, but I did notice that when I went to settings>applications>running services I saw a lot of stuff I didn't even want. The 3g mobile hotspot app had a service running for instance, so did skype. Maybe the stock apps that had services running in the background are the ones that drain the most.
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
I haven't rooted my phone yet, but just from using various task killers I have noticed that there is a lot of crap running on this phone.

At first I didn't really give it much thought, but one day I checked my phone after it had been sitting on my desk for 3 hours off the charger and the battery read 70%. That was with the phone idle, black screen, doing nothing with it for 3 hours.

I need to get around to rooting it so I don't have to try and kill tasks every 15 minutes.

To make matters worse, it seems a lot of the bloatware randomly starts up too, even after you have terminated the process.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Yes, that's exactly right. These apps will start up and services will run in the background. That my verizon app had a data usage service I think. Voice commands (something I NEVER will use) had it's own service running as well before I removed it.

Rooting is fairly easy. The hardest part is setting up adb, but really all you need to do is add it's location to your system's path variable and when you open up cmd.exe you'll be able to simply run commands off of it.

Here's a good rooting guide for the fascinate http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html

Good luck. Let me know if any apps stand out as being a major culprit.
[Fascinate General] dopepope:
could you formulate a list of what you removed?
[Fascinate General] SeatownGST:
agree here. I definitely need to remove more stuff. the RAM footprint is incredibly high out of the box.

is there a list going of confirmed bloatware/trialware that can be uninstalled by titanium, that won't brick the phone?
[Fascinate General] daavy:
Or maybe a batch file that will get rid of them and our them back if needed.. ;)

Sounds easy enough.. Need that comprehensive list and locations of said files.. Need replacement files as I already used angels rom...
[Fascinate General] SeatownGST:
well for example, there's a utility generated by the community for the Storm 1 called "Shrink-A-OS". This utility was what got me through two years of the storm 1. uninstalling all unnecessary languages, files, folders, startup items, etc etc - all by checking boxes. VZ utilities uninstalled with ease, even...

I'm on board so far with this Fascinate. the out of box experience has been DREADFUL, and in all honesty, the storm 1 did everything out of the box but entertainment. this phone is the exact opposite so far. I had to have gmail, to connect to the marketplace, to download an app.... to then get comcast mail. bluetooth barely works. GPS is spotty. there's trialware (hello CityID, go away), bloatware (hello verizon everything) and it needs a lot of work.

but I'm confident that when 2.2 hits, we'll be all set to go. when the first 5.0 OS was out for the bold, people were immediately porting what would work over to the storm 1. I'm surprised there aren't 2.2 builds for this phone already...
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Sorry guys, I should have documented everything I took out.

Just look at what services are running in the background, and ask yourself which one of those apps you really won't use. For me, it obviously was something that had an impact on battery life :/

Speaking of which, I uninstalled my visual voicemail app, but now the button in the dialer that goes to it crashes the dialer whenever I press it. Can someone post this vvm apk?
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Chronster I also have the problem with VM button crashing my dialer due to the super clean ROM, did you find this APK?
[Fascinate General] chronster:
yeah here you go, just move these 4 files in this zip to system/app
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
These can be safely removed:

Please note that I do not use any built in social networking or verizon sync, only google. I also replaced the TouchWiz launcher with ADW in the /system/app folder prior to removing TouchWiz.

Don't pull anything if you don't know what it does, or at least dont yell if your phone borks.

I've had no issues with these being done away with.
[Fascinate General] tonyb81:
Does freezing apps in Titanium Backup provide the same effect as deleting them from the phone?
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Actually I found I had the same files from a stock fascinate dump, so I tired them first. I have the same problem with my files and yours (look to be identical) - after copying all 4 into the \system\app folder, about 30 seconds later the phone locks up bad. Screen goes black, and pressing the buttons at the bottom light them up and they stay on, can't power off or get anything on the screen. Pulling battery and rebooting has the phone stay on the "Verizon" screen for like 30 seconds, and then it does the same thing/locks up....

Had to restore a Clockwork/ROM Manager backup to get the phone to work again.. Tried with just the VVMService files instead of all 4 and had the same result.

I also while I was running the stock ROM, had this exact same reaction trying to copy in the Clock APK/ODEX files... had to wipe the phone to get it to work again.

Any other ideas how to load these in? Just running the APK's say it can't install. Do they need to be "baked" into the CleanROM?
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Yes, minus the fact that they don't save you any space.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Oh my God I'm so sorry! I had no idea it would have that reaction.

I moved them back into that folder and it was all done for me. Voicemail worked fine.

Let me ask you (I'm new) would doing a factory reset from the settings menu be the same as restoring the stock rom and all it's apps?
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Thanks for the info! Could you do us one more favor and set the view to details, then order by filesize? That way if people are trying to save space, they can see the biggest files to remove...
[Fascinate General] tjhart85:
No. Nothing can touch androids /system partition (unless you root) & a factory reset depends on that fact.

A factory reset basically wipes everything that is user accessible, but /system ISN'T, so if you deleted files out of that, they're gone unless you Odin or made a Nandroid.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
What would happen if I took the system/app folder from a fascinate system dump, and just moved everything back in?

See, with WM, stock apps and stuff were in the rom, so if you did a factory reset, you got all the apps too. I'm surprised Android isn't like this.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Well crap, the ea28 update has made it much harder to remove bloatware.

I THINK* I've rooted my phone with the DL09 method, because Superuser grants root explorer rights when before it would crash, but the bloatware can't be moved because it says it's read only!

Anyone get around this yet?
[Fascinate General] obededom:
you got to mount the system/app folder as RW, this can be done very easily with Root Explorer
[Fascinate General] chronster:
thanks bro! I'm an idiet ;)
