[Desire Android Development] tlucyk:
Currently running DeFroST 6.0 forHTC desire (AOSP FRG83 + CyanogenMod)

I rooted using unrevoked 3

I installed defrost 5.9via Rom manager then upgraded to 6.0 via defrost settings.

3 questions possibly unrelated

when I run bootloader I see 'no image' and 'wrong image' messages displayed

I am unable to delete stock apps that came with the defrost Rom. In root explorer I mount r /w and delete an app. Confirm delete message shows up. But when I exit app is still there in the drawer functioning normally.

I was told this could be because NAND is locked. I understand that it should be unlocked when the unrevoked root was performed. I suspect that the error message - not enough space I saw in recovery might have something to do with the NAND setting.

Before I installed defrost 5.9 I tried to install the cyanogen 6 Rom via Rom manager. I saw 'not enough space. On device' or something similar (can't remember exactly) displayed in recovery. i think this might have something to do with NAND setting as well

how do i know if my NAND is unlocked or S-OFF?

btw my desire is CDMA
[Desire Android Development] fllash:
When you reboot into bootloader mode, at the very top, if your NAND is unlocked, it should say S-OFF. If your NAND is locked, it should say S-ON (s stands for security i suppose).

So I got this phone as a replacement for crapped Eris. I thought I would return it before 30 days and get the Incredible HD. But it keeps growing on me. The FM Radio has become indispensable, saves me the trouble of finding good 3G coverage to stream the radio and saves battery.

Also the panoramic picture mode is another indispensable feature as is the audio effects applied to audio which make it sound awesome !!

After I removed the bloat and installed launcher pro, I think I can live with Moto's blur enhancements with camera, FM, and audio effects. Plus the text fine selector is also awesome.

So I switched to armon recovery from clockwork in order to install Warm's beta, and after playing around I wanted to try a new kernel. I then accidentally did a data clear/factory reset on accident. So i went to restore nandroid and none of my nandroid backups were there. I had to select my device then some weird number. Now when i boot up it sends me directly to the bootloader sreen. What's going on?/how can i get to my nandroid backups?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
When I first joined this forum, I was very impressed with how responsive the XDA community was to answer my questions. I have gained loads of valuable information that has helped me along my way with my EVO. I had one goal in mind; I wanted to customize and modify to increase my battery life. the Q and A forum was the first one that I turned to. I would instinctively try searching for things such as "best battery saving kernels" or "Which rom will provide me with the best battery life" and etc. Of course there are hundreds of threads with people asking these types of questions, the only problem is that they are outdated! I have only been active in this forum for a better part of 2 weeks and it seems like there is a new or beta out every other day!

Developers are quicker than ever releasing new kernels and roms so it makes it difficult to get a defined answer! I figured that the best solution to this would be to have a stickied thread with the community posting there results through testing or just opinion in general, that way it will help stop all of the "best rom" or "best kernel" threads. It would be a great resource to not only people that are new to the forum but for those looking to stay up to date with the best of the best.

Now onto the purpose of this thread.

I realize that everyones phone is different. And that what is best for one phone, may not be best for another phone.

Still I think that a generalization would be very helpful when trying to decide what's best.

Here goes:

Kernel Testing Reports: AOSP and Non AOSP Kernels here: http://home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/htc.html(Not my work, all credit goes to Skyler.

What are your favorite kernel/rom combinations for saving battery life?

Feel free to report your testing results and attach screenshots of juice plotter and etc!

Hopefully the whole XDA community can help keep this updated for reference at any point in time!

With all that said, hopefully I will catch a mods attention and have a chance of this getting stickied. :p

11/2/2010Myn's 2.2 with Baked Kernel #6

This was my first day testing this combination with moderate to heavy usage. Battery life was not very good for me. I will be trying this again tomorrow to give my phone time to adjust better. Screenshot attached.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
That's awesome battery life...how was your usage? Like your dock btw, is that LauncherPro?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
I used it sparingly. Some twidroid, some browser, some freecell, a call or two and EVAC(great game). Yea its launcher pro. I grey'ed out everything like the status bar and notification bar. Made it gingerbread like. Or what rumors say gingerbread will look like.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualSportDad:
fresh 3.4, nets 4.2 bfs agressive , been getting 90ma screen off and around 200ma screen on.

i'm really interested to see other battery draw compared to mine.

Very cool, hopefully more people will become involved with this thread and it can stay up to date. Thanks for you input!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4ger:
i just got 1d 6hrs out of my evo.

I would categorize my usage as moderate (facebook, texting, phone calls, some game playing, maps, music playing)

Fresh 3.2 w/ launcherpro mem set to high (sense removed)

Stock Kernal 2.6.32.15-g3a8614e

Underclocked w/ SetCPU (screen off 245/screen on 652 max)

Autokiller set to "Extreme"

4g turned off most part of day since i dont get a signal at work.

Turned airplane mode on the second night (went to bed with 6% left...woke up with 6% haha).

Forgot to add

I have always on mobile turned off and background data disabled (only thing noticed with these settings is that 3G wakes up a lil slower when turning on screen and you cannot go to the market unless you turn background data which is okay for me because i pretty much have all the apps i want.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
autokiller...like the old autokiller app used back with the sprint hero. I don't think thats needed with froyo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
Sounds like Fresh 3.2 stock is very good battery life. I have heard this before just never tried it out. 30 hours is a long time on a single charge with moderate usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
I don't get many apps running wild in the background for me. Um...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceMonky:
I'm pretty new to all this and just recently started trying a non-stock setup and it has been giving me really nice battery results. I don't have have any graphs or screen shots, but the first time i tried to fully drain it on purpose had me laughing hysterically. I was running 100% brightness, wifi, gps, bluetooth and pandora. The darn thing ran for like 5-6 hours straight. I couldn't believe it. seemed ridiculous.

took it to disney yesterday on a full charge. made a handfull of calls and a bunch of texts. checked the weather and a few other misc. things.

came home with 80-75 battery life. was very impressed.

i never got this kind of performance on stock.

Here's my setup:

Myn's TwoPointTwo RLS2

netarchy 4.1.9.1 NoHavs Universal

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
Very nice to see others having success with the battery tweak! :) It is still my primary go-to for when I know I count on good battery life. Did you happen to check out my guide in my signature?:p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4ger:
well from what i read autokiller is not like a "task killer". It modifies/improves how android kills processes if that makes any sense.

been working for me...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
We need to be using more descriptive scripts/apps to be comparing such.

For example my ROM is heavily stripped down/modded.

Also consider that everyone should be clearing caches and allowing them to rebuild before testing.

Not to mention anyone who has a flush active (use "top -m 5 -n 1" to see) will have much lower performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
How long do think your phone needs to rebuild a clean cache? A couple days or so?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
Probably a couple hours of usage with some reboots in-between.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feedDunk:
My combo

I am a pretty heavy user.

I use tweetdeck and have 6 columns. I follow roughly 500 people. Mix in there facebook and google buzz updates too. 3 of the columns update every hour. 1 column every 2 hours and the last 2 every 30 minutes. Throughout the day i have gtalk convos, sms and mms (handcent), 40-50 emails from 3 accounts, web with downloads, and sporadic heavy twitter usage. I use Launcher Pro with the facebook widget set to update every 3 hours.

I use a modified script (Omegasuns BareBone App and Sense Removal Script) to remove most of the sense. I do not update weather, stocks, news or rss. I also use an app called Buddy Runner that gps tracks my walks 3 times a day. Total time the app is on is about 40 minutes. The last heavy thing i use is PingChat. I'm currently in a group with about 7 people. We chat throughout the day. Does this thing even make phone calls? LoL

All of this is typical with any rom I install. I work at a desk and can charge often if need be so battery life has never really been a concern for me. At work I typically have 4-5 bars of 3G coverage. Home and weekends are a different animal and obviously day to day usage varies, but there's my rundown.

This is a snapshot of Myns 2.2 with animations off, netarchy-toastmod-4.2-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal kernel and no setCPU for this particular days usage.

Have moved on to Calkulin's EViO 2 ROM v1.5 and the smartass kernel. I'll letcha know how it works out.

ps Thanks for the thread, now gimme some combos to try... :D

I have noticed that now i have updated to 2.1, my phone no longer locks the screen when the power button is short pressed.

is there a way around this as i find it very inconvenient to have to wait for the phone to time out each time i want to put the phone in my pocket.

cheers,

i had similar problem i dont know why it happened .. but i connected to SEUS , initally i flashed using Global firmware from Binary ..

anyway i connected to SEUS and tried to repair , i mean reinstall the firmware thru SEUS ... dont worry even if ur region is not out .. i mean once u are 2.1 SEUS pulls 2.1 files and installs them irrespective of the region ...

so do a update using SEUS..

i had many problems with Binary GLOBAL firmware, problem might be isolated for me .. but give it a try..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortman_alan:
figured out what had caused it...

when i restored my backed up system settings from both SE backup and restore or my backup pro, the power button did not lock the phone.

i just went into settings and did a factory reset and setup everything up manually. now everything works fine. :)

Hello everyone.

I recently downloaded a new rom and when I go to add a new shortcut to the home screen, under "program" none of the applications I have on my sd card show up.

Is there any way for me to add these applications without reinstalling them each time I add/update a new rom?

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Copy the exe of the program and paste a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. You should then be see the program in the list when you go to add the shortcut on the home screen.

Depending on the program, you may need to reinstall however, as certain applications make registry changes as well and may not function without those changes. Others, such as games, sometimes store save files locally on the internal memory, so there is a chance that you may have lost those.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
OP please read more about what you are actually doing when you flash ROMs. The ROM or kernal is not running from those zip files. Those are just needed to install. Once you flash them you can keep or trash them - it doesn't matter.

What IS problematic for you is that you have no concept of what you are doing to your phone, and if you don't educate yourself by reading A LOT before flashing you will be in for a world of hurt someday (probably soon.)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdubs4200:
Sorry, please don't talk to me like im an idiot i know what I flashed how to flash back up disable... Had this phone since a week after release been on xda reading forums ever since. I didn't know is there were any thing in the files needed after flash. I'm not a dev. But a huge fan if team whiskey!

Vibrant Bionix
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
Actually pdefazio had it pretty spot on. I don't believe s/he was trying to be condescending, just trying to point out that fact that not knowing how a ROM works (e.g. *.zip for install only) will only make it tougher for you if you run into problems. We're here to help YOU (if possible), don't take it as a personal attack from an anonymous nerd on the net. Knowing is half the battle, blah blah blah =)

To get back to the OP, glad you've solved the non-issue with accidentally removing the zip file. I don't know if you've got Droid Explorer, but you can pull your nandroid backups off the phone and keep them on your PC if you're running tight on space if it's installed (easier than working adb imo).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aczarney:
I remember my first flashing experience. I wasn't happy with what I flashed, but I screwed something up and ended not even being able to turn my phone on. I now read extensively not only about what I'm flashing, but about what the bugs are with that rom, multiple ways to backtrack, what the files I'm screwing around with are for (in the case of other non-rom changes), what happens to the files I'm screwing with when I flash said non-rom changes, and what alternatives I have to flashing whatever it is that I'm flashing. You really should read up a lot more, if you're going to void your warranty. You'll end up with quite a mess if you don't.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosCruz15:
No, I believe pdefazio was trying to be condescending, as well as all the other "anonymous nerds" on the net...I am kinda new to all this flashing stuff and i have been TRYING to read a lot and every forum I come across there is always someone talking down on someone else ex.... "Why are you asking that question?" "look on a different thread"....its kinda hard to even begin to try and learn this android stuff cause there are few people actually willing to help you, making it difficult to know what questions a person can post or not. Not only that, THESE "nerds" expect you to automatically know and be hip to all the Android lingo...all I am saying is that if YOU are not going to help someone's thread then stay the F*** of it and dont talk Sh*t.......sorrry i didnt answer the original question, just wanted to post this after reading the thread.

I was wondering this stuff myself. I've got a Rhodium I was thinking of booting Rhobuntu on just so I could carry Cave Story with me everywhere.

I know this thread is a tad old but actually, i am trying to port cave story to android. It will be open source when it is released as required by gpl (anyone wanting the source now can pm me). I have it loading into "safe mode" so far as the data directories still have to be defined manually as far as i know. Another bug i found is that it will not even load up in landscape mode at the moment. Its a problem with SDL_blit_N.c according to my crash reports.

Wow, it looks great on my Droid 3! I don't think I'm getting any sound though, and trying to remap keys in the menu or pressing any hard keys other than arrows FCs the app. Too bad, as it looks like my phone is more than capable of handling a fully working version. I've even got hard keys, just not the right ones. It's painful to be so close but still so far from playing Cave Story on my phone. Thanks for keeping us up to date on stuff like this.

EDIT: sound works great! I forgot there's no sound in the opening scene, I had to let the start menu load first. No stutter or anything, if my keyboard worked in-game I'd be set.

SECOND EDIT: I was able to start a game and assign keys! The app crashes when I press most buttons, but it recognizes my arrow keys and the ok, shift, alt, voice, search, and at keys, so I'm all set. Won't let me remap them though, and now that I'm playing it does seem to be running at about half speed. Not that there's any lag, everything seems to just move more slowly, though the music plays full speed.
