Thank you for your answer. Now I remember about this bug or feature. Android 2.1 doesn't have this. What I heard that this in 2.2 should prolong battery life so maybe it's not the best idea to change it.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
a battery cost around 15-40 € (40 € for a original htc)...so i say its ok :)

and also my old HTC Polaris (Touch Cruise load from 99% again)

it´s so frustrating if you unplug and see 90%...also you have more power for the day with reload from 99% and also you have less "battery drain problems" because you have from day start 100% :) :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Yes, I agree. As I said, it's Froyo feature, not a bug :)
[Desire Android Development] w.0.o.t:
i will have to disagree mate. even the battery is cheap, it can be spent on something else don't you think? i might as well buy a homeless guy a decent meal. ;)

rather than integrating the feature into kernels, you can either:

1) charge phone while it's turned off or

2) use SetCPU to set profile to lowest voltage when screen is turned off or

3) use Tasker and set a profile to turn on airplane mode and turn the mode off every half an hour for few minutes to check for messages, if emergency call/message is your main concern

i personally use the 2nd method. 6 hours of idle and i'm still at 100%. i think it's better since you'll also prolong your CPU life. just a thought.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
but its possible (like you see with this kernel i posted...also i have juice-potter run for visual see)

really hope for a kernel with oc and speed fix with the 99% reload feature :) :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
is there a fix for the aosp kernel out?
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Alright, ziggy has fixed the cifs as far as i know, i overclocked this to 1.19GHz. it seems to be running good.

give it a test for me please.

[Desire Android Development] Osleg:
Testing, will let you know about the results in a bit
[Desire Android Development] Osleg:
Quadrant score 1532, works good, didn't check cifs tho
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
thanks good to hear, i will be slowly taking over the bravo tree for ziggy
[Desire Android Development] Osleg:
Ok, new kind of issue:

Under even low load (eg browsing) phone getting extremely hot in few minutes.got about 40c in less than five minutes

Overclocked to maximum possible with this kernel. While using kernel from leedroid 2.2f with same overclocking temp never rises higher than 35c. Might be because smartass governor @leedroid's rom?
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Osleg do you have the 2.2f kernel on a .zip flashable file?!
[Desire Android Development] Osleg:
Yes I do
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
You mind sharing?!
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Im not seeing that on my rom, but im using the interactive governor ill test it out.

Could you change first post, post link for new kernel and write changelog? You mentioned your own rom, is there any chance to share with us?

Thank you for your time.
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Ill update the first post shortly, but i have nust made a change in the kernel that should help with some who still have no boot.

I'll make a fresh build of my rom and get it up by monday. its just a tweaked stoock rom thats ready for user skinning. it runs great tho,

[Android Apps and Games] R1lover:
I found this app last week and have been very impressed with it, it's currently in beta stage now on Android, and will support Android, Blackberry, & iPhone.

It works with a pin, has unlimited messaging, no restriction on character limits etc. You can use this as a stand alone app or as your sms text app as well.

It shows current status, message delivered indicator, message read indicator and more.

A very nice start to what looks to be a very promising app for all smart phones.

Give it a try, you will love it.

(disclaimer- I have nothing to do with this app, just sharing a good find)
[Android Apps and Games] kekkle:
Damn. Hoped you meant a multi-network app. Like MSN/Aim/Yahoo and so on. Not another BBM remake. We already got PingChat and WhatsApp.
[Android Apps and Games] R1lover:
I wasn't aware of ping chat... it looks to be nice as well.... this is just what I found and it works so fast and simple, I thought I would share it.

One main difference I see is the other apps only work for those that have the app installed... as this will also work as your sms/text messenger.

I haven't tested the others yet.. but I will now to see how they compare.
[Android Apps and Games] pzumk:
Using PingChat but will give this a try, thanks!

But I don't think I'll use it regulary since everyone knows im using PingChat ;)
[Android Apps and Games] teddyforms:
this to BBM?

how do i add a friend that uses a blackberry? can they use their BBM program or do they have to get this program? where do i find their pin?
[Android Apps and Games] Alvin_sks:
are the sms free as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Evostance:
Just use WhatsApp..

It already does everything this can do, its out and it integrates with your phone contacts
[Android Apps and Games] jdhas:

Thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it :-) Just FYI to everyone LiveProfile is one word everyone confuses it. Any questions about LiveProfile feel free to ask.
[Android Apps and Games] w00tn3ss:
Hey, does this work with FaceBook chat??
[Android Apps and Games] rumitg2:
gave it a try but in 30min it drained my battery form 100% to 85%. i hadn't received or sent any messages and it was simply in my pocket. i didnt even have any friends added yet.

i wanna be able to use it when the BB version comes out but the battery drain is enourmous

G2
[Android Apps and Games] warpaper:
Yes right, i though this something like IM+, i use both pingchat and whatsapp and don't need the 3rd one.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] w00tn3ss:
does it have fb chat??
[Android Apps and Games] who1981:
I've been using "eBuddy", as a muti-network IM client. It works on: MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, MySpace, ICQ, Hyves, and Facebook! It works well, and doesn't seem to eat too much battery.

:cool:

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] InfDaMarvel:
I use aim for facebook chat, does this do facebook chat?

I dont really know anyone who still uses instant messengers other than well sms/text messaging.
[Android Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
just another pingchat & whatsapp application????

will give it a spin when the other os r ready

[Android Apps and Games] jdh10475:
Yeah that is no bueno
[Android Apps and Games] LiveProfile:
Just FYI we use push not poll this was implemented in an early version. LiveProfile virtually uses little or no battery when not in use. Also we just released a big new update so please check it out. Let me know if you have any thoughts you can reach me direct at LPDJK68F

PROBLEM: I have an Milestone, and in the market of the phone, it doesnt appear on the search, even with the marketEnabler Verizon Fix...

What i have to do for install LiveProfile???
[Android Apps and Games] zamolxees:
Due to the complexity of animation, actions of Timester and limitations in the Android OS regarding widgets, a widget version of Timester is not possible at this time. Thank you for not asking for this again.

[update] Timester HD - the new Timester is roaming free on the market. Also www.Timester.info is live and updated.

https://market.android.com/details?id=info.timester.livewallpaper&feature=search_result

I've been looking for a nice clock for my desire ever since the sense clocks got so old for me. The market provides mostly image+clock arms widgets, so I thought of a different kind of a widget:

The main character is a very lazy hamster named Timester. This guy realized that he is somewhat overweight and unfit so he has to run the wheel. The hamster wheel turns as he reluctantly runs, which in turn engages a dynamo and all the other cogs and wheels inside. Every once in a while, Timester gets tired and goes to sleep. So when you unlock your phone you will find him sleeping but quickly getting up and getting exercise. Or he will run so fast that the wheel and hamster will seem one. Or hamster will slow so much that he needs a jolt kindly provided by the machine to resume running.

Blou_Aap was brave enough to step up to the challenge and is committed to building a great live wallpaper. In a few short days he managed to release a pre-alpha version, 0.001.

There are still a lot of features to be added, and optimizations to be implemented so please be patient with us and provide valuable feedback.

Here are some visual helpers:

and some more:

To download and install: Search the market for "Timester".

Or you can install from desktop go here https://market.android.com/details?id=info.timester.livewallpaper&feature=search_result

Also, check out the new website www.timester.info

We updated it, has some facebook integration so "like" away.

V 1.04

- fixed bug that when Timester was on strike made clicks register as timester settings click.

--------------------------------------------------

V 1 .03

- different app and app name, so it won't show up as an update for the old timester

- more actions

- better optimised code, running smoother

- tablet support (tested on galaxy tab) please report any issues on tab or other tablets

- people with 320x480 screens will see that timester is oversized - don't fret, there are still some adjustments for smaller screens to be done and timester hd will support 320x480 properly

--------------------------------------------------

V 0.009

- Fixed bugs for 480x854 screens

- Removed app from app drawer

--------------------------------------------------

This is an excellent idea! Hope you get it started soon, as for names what about sniffy?
[Android Apps and Games] zamolxees:
Thank you. Sniffy sounds good, but I think it should say something about him being a hamster or his personality. Unless I'm missing something, sniffy is about him having a fine sense of smell, or a good instinct in finding things.

Any other ideas?

Also, could anyone tell me if this is technically possible? I'm not sure about it because I haven't seen any heavily animated widgets. I wonder if that animation would not eat up the whole CPU.

[Android Apps and Games] TheShoura:
i would totally use this clock LOL
[Android Apps and Games] putnum:
How about Sherlock ?
[Android Apps and Games] ii Candor ii:
Reading this has my imagination running.

Some ideas:

You could have several different hamster characters to choose from. One could be lazy like you suggested, one could be a ninja, one could be a personal trainer, the list goes on.

It would be cool if there were different "cut scenes" where the hamster does different things (like you're suggesting). Cut scenes would be based on the character. The lazy hamster (maybe name it Lightning?) would have cut scenes like sleeping, peeing and looking over his shoulder at you, gnawing on one of your app icons, etc. The ninja cut scenes would be like throwing stars at the clock, doing flips, hanging on things, or hiding behind the clock peering at you, etc.

When you talked about waking up the lazy hamster did you consider being able to shake the phone to wake him up?

I have plenty more ideas where those came from. This sounds like a pretty dang funny and fun clock idea. Your art is good too (almost a little too detailed for me actually) -- did you draw the mock-ups?

Would be sweet if a good UI/widget dev would come along and pick this one up. I've been working with a dev on a game, but I don't have coding experience.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonozume:
It should be technically possible since u can use a SurfaceView as a widget

so drawing the Graphics there wouldnt be a problem

it would drain the Batter though, but dont know

u have to redraw the SurfaceView every second (serveral times per secon to maintain 25+ fps)

so the animations wont appear sluggish

I could try to program it, though my Programming Experience is limited ( only worked with 2D once )

could start immediately when i get my phone back (3-4 days)

//edit after seeing the chillin' hamster a idea to safe battery life popped up

u could just redraw the clock every minute? or every 40 seconds

if a minute is about to pass by the hamster starts running to turn the wheels so the new minute Image is shown

Kemo ~
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick777:
Wow, that would be so hilarious. Please, awesome coders of XDA. Please make this happen. :D

EDIT: You can even do, 0:00 - 0:30 Chillin'. 0:31:040 Hangin'. 0:41-0:59 Runnin'. So it'll look like the it's getting ready.

[Android Apps and Games] howzcat:
love the concept.

too bad it doesn't work on x10 mini (small screen?)

the hamster is running outside the clock, the dial hands are everywhere and point nowhere...can't even tell the time :( pls fix

btw..how is battery drain?
[Android Apps and Games] mkrmec:
you know what would be cool.. you said you're gonna "let" the hamster chill out when the screen is off.

Do it this way: he chills when you turn the screen off, then when you turn the screen on, let him sleep for a second and then: the hamster realises that you're mad at him for slacking and he starts running the **** out of the clock from the time you turned the screen off to the current time :D

hehe and maybe as he's running really fast he can trip and go for a spin or two around the clock :D

that would be fun to see :D

love the new website, specialy the text, laughing my ass off atm :D hehe :D
[Android Apps and Games] ADeadlySpoon:
I love the idea of letting the hamster slack a bit and with the spinning round the wheel a couple of times. That would be pretty awesome.:p
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
See attached picture. Landscape mode does not work right for me. It's the latest Launcher Pro (Plus), on a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) running Android 2.2.

And beside that it's indeed usually a minute behind my system clock, you can notice another discrepancy on my screenshot: my system clock says 21:42 and Timester says 9:42. It would be nice if Timester could take the time format from Android, or have a setting for it.

As for those asking about battery drain: expect it to be serious (during display of your homescreens), because it often hits 50% of my CPU on my SGS, so it's still crazy heavy.

Any idea when you plan on optimizing it? Because features are nice, but besides making Timester p00p gold, there's no feature that can make me want to run an app this heavy very often :).
[Android Apps and Games] zamolxees:
Timester is CPU intensive and thus we don't expect it will work on all CPUs. Also, battery drain may be higher than less animated (and less pretty :P )live wallpapers. We don't plan on supporting 240 x 320 screens at the moment.

320x480 will be supported though.

We will have something like that implemented. Will be fun to watch, can't wait too :)

Well he IS a lazy hamster, right? Ambitious too, but lazy nonetheless :)

The time delay will be fixed in the next version - coming real soon.

Also in the next version there will be an option to change between 12 and 24 hour display.

There will be cpu saving features added. Dunno if in the next release, but it's in the works.

I'll let Blou_Aap answer the landscape issue thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeshter2000:

Yea, the glitch in the market ended up being my fault. Did something wrong in the Manifest file.

I was glad to get it to use a lot less cpu in this version.

And for those who rate it one star because they can't read 800x480 on the market, well, they are their own proof of their intelligence.

[Android Apps and Games] zamolxees:
Why thank you for your support. Can you tell us what device/os version are you running? Because there are some requirements. see here The only thing I can think of for not showing up in your market app is that your device is not supported. In this case, it won't do you much good to give you the apk. Also, we really want to direct all downloads to the market, easier to track, debug, update.
[Android Apps and Games] dswta:
No, No...My device is indeed supported. I have a galaxy s I9000 and I'm currently running the V 0.005 version flawlessly. I can't see the newer (V 0.007) version though. The market suggests trimester (which is an issue mentioned by the dev here) when I scan the barcode or search for it manually in the market!.

Thank you for your reply and support btw :)
