i had that in 5.1.6
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
Mike awsome ROM:D

1 Q: why did you set the vm.heap back from 48 (ARHD 5.1.6) to 32 in 5.1.7?
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
Ext4 is the latest version of the Linux file system. Mike has been using it to format the system partition for his ROMs for some time.

TBH I have not noticed any real difference in speed since now having the data partition as ext4 though theortetically there should be some performance gain. Problem is 5.1.6 was so damn smooth anyway :D.

However, ext4 will have to be adopted sooner or later and Mike and other devs are suggesting now is the time.

Your sequence of steps is wrong. You need to use the script in the first post to format data - pretty sure CWM still formats as ext3.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
Seriously guys?

The roms been out for less than twelve hours and your already asking about battery life.

You have to give your battery a chance to get going first.

Do the usual. Charge to 100% (0 in CurrentWidget), wipe battery stats and have a couple of charge cycles.

Its been said many times before that the battery is a little worse off in GB than Froyo. This is what mike and apache work on with tweaks to the rom and kernal.

It doesnt just happen overnight and takes time for us and them to test, get feedback and re-tweak.
[Desire HD Android Development] Bachar David:
Hi Mike,

Just 2 more things what about the CRT animation order

and the battery % mod

Thanx again
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
What will I achief by: wipe battery stats? is it a kind of re-calibration?
[Desire HD Android Development] wireless.tech.expert:
Somebody? Help?
[Desire HD Android Development] ShawnWang59:
5.1.7

well guys....

those quotes and etc were a bit old, and i think its not 5.1.7 related, the dialer issue and etc was claimed fixed for 5.1.7.

so i am wondering about the battery on 5.1.7 only =) and i've been told by jkoljo that the vid feed can be sd card related, seems like he gets non-spotty 720p results with his class 6 sd card, and ext4 speed, pretty sure its blazingly fast (?) so.....

battery. anyone care to comment?

edit:

dude360 just saw your comment after i posted ya i totally understand takes time im not criticizing the rom or anything and if the batt results are mere preliminary testing, i can surely understand that. just want to gain a bit more knowledge about this rom without flashing it just yet.....i know its a terrible terrible method but will be busy all week so just trying to find out what i can thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] sphuyal:
Yes you are wiping all the battery stats and in a way recalibrating it. Remember to charge to 100% (use current widget and charge until it shows 0 mA)
[Desire HD Android Development] samukinson:
whow... FAAAAAAAST!!!!!

Thank you mike, TeamRevolution and EXT4
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
oke, i'm using current widget already

2 weeks ago when still on stock I applied the: double your bat.life trick and that worked for me. Do I have to do that again after the wipe?
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
Hate to do this reposting^^ Sorry... But if anyone not noobish as I am could look into this we had a working battery% for 5.1.7 !

I will flash the rom now and test myself if the mod is working with EXT4 but it will take some time :)
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Briliant ROM again Mike!

But how about transparent dock and notification area? Has someone achieved this already on Sense 2.1 ??
[Desire HD Android Development] nitr00:
Would you mind telling us where to find this 'double your bat.life trick' ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
Yes - I am thinking many of those complaining about lag are expecting to be able to capture totally smooth 720p video at 30fps on a class 2 card! Even with GB there will be glitches on slow cards.

HD video is smooth as can be on my Class 10 (smug grin).
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
@ShawnWang59 - Sorry, didnt mean for it to sound like I was having a go at anyone!

Just lately though its like no ones bothering to even think about searching.

By the time someones posted "what is wiping battery stats" or "what is ext4" they could have pulled up a google search with all the answers.

I know this thread is huge and XDA even bigger ut if people would care to read the welcoming or help threads before, or clicked that big SEARCH button before posting it would make things a lot easier for us all who do try to help.

XDA has advanced google search which runs its search specifically through XDA!

What pisses me of more than people not searching or even reading the first friggin post of a rom, mod or theme thread is them then reposting the exact same question but moaning that noones friggin helped them.

Theres a lot of people willing to help but only if people begin to help themselves.

;edit; I mean no ill will to those that do read, search and have legitimate question. We love you.
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
On the internet:p

and in the attachement;)
[Desire HD Android Development] wireless.tech.expert:
Hi,

I flashed the format to Ex4 file and then the 5.1.7 Rom without any errors. I rebooted the phone but it stay on the HTC white screen.

I restored the Rom I had (5.1.6), downloaded the Zips again (to eliminate a bad file) and tried again twice. Got the same white screen.

Any help?
[Desire HD Android Development] Hawkeyed:
Did you check MD5?

Do you have another memory card to try with?

First boot will take some time. A few minutes actually.
[Desire HD Android Development] adjeh:
5.1.6 is EXT 3. I think you better flash full wipe 1.3.zip with cwm to go back to EXT3 and then restore 5.1.6.
[Desire HD Android Development] intelintelintel:
i noticed improvement in 3rd party app drawers.. but its still not very smooth.. right now i dont have any mods or even any apps installed.. flashed and everything is ridiculously smooth.. but 5/10 times the app drawer will open gracefully and the other times it wont.. just me or anyone else?
[Desire HD Android Development] wireless.tech.expert:
How do I run the wipe 1.3?
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
No problem with LP
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
I rest my case...

i seem to have a problem wit hthe htc calender widget - the small narrow version, it updates events, but has an old image which doesnt update, when i was on stock i think it had a generic calendar icon where the facebook image currently is, is there a fix or way to change?
[Desire HD Android Development] Darkseth:
Download the zip, put on SD card, and flash via CWM.

@ Mike: Might add to 2nd Post, that Liamstears Theme animation sadly does Not work with 5.1.7. Not the 6.5.1, and his New one either (which is just for RCMix Kingdom rom)
[Desire HD Android Development] intelintelintel:
listen buddy.. read the past few pages and how upset all the devs have been with questions like that.. look at 1st and 2nd post.. you dont run wipe 1.3.. please just read the 1st or 2nd posts and search from now on.. mikes thinking about delaying each rom if people ask questions like that.. so please..
[Desire HD Android Development] adjeh:
Flash with cwm. Turn your phone off.

Then hold the volumebutton down en press the powerbutton.

If you cann't turn of your phone get the bat out of your DHD en wait for 10 min.

Then go back to hold the volumebutton etc.......................
[Desire HD Android Development] ShawnWang59:
it's okay i feel the same way

and ya i searched and had a discussion with jkoljo and he said thru his battery testing before rom came out it was really good, and better than froyo roms, so i was real excited and will most likely flash 5.1.7 this weekend.

was just trying to see if there are other users on this thread that share a similar story off preliminary rounds of this rom =)

i do not mean any disrespect to mike1986 and arhd for my skepticism =)

arhd is a beautiful thing.

shawn
[Desire HD Android Development] Kaljo:
Using wipe 1.3 is the right choice for him, he wants to go back to 5.1.6--aka EXT3
[Desire HD Android Development] intelintelintel:
oh in that case.. but wait how do you know he wants to go back to 5.1.6? he hasnt said so?
[Desire HD Android Development] asticot7:
can't remember who asked for it

this is a bootanimation coming from a custom HD2 ROM

tested on 5.1.6 and 5.1.7 (full ext4)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D884W2F0
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
Yeah I know where your coming from buddy, you can spot the people who have some inkling of sense ;)

Its good to know we have a really good beta testing team who actually monitor things like speed increases and battery drain/life :)

Its a shame HTC wont take a page out of their book.... Do love sense though and ARHD makes the experience SO much better!

Batterys the hardest thing I think to judge as its the all down to how the user uses their phone and theres never a 100% solution suited to everyone.

People seem to expect it to 'just work' when its something that has to be judged by the 'feel' of it.

:)
[Desire HD Android Development] Mastersey:
Wasn't me... but i'm suddenly interested too :D

Thanks ! It looks very nice !
[Desire HD Android Development] reneover:
I came from 5.1.4, and upgraded to 5.1.7, i can feel it is smoother, but i already had one random reboot, and had to replace battery twice becouse the phone did not react at all.

I followed all the correct steps, and never had this before, anyone experiencing the same issues?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I'm sure it has nothing to do with EXT4. It's more about kernel and UV/OC. Keep me informing.
[Desire HD Android Development] michi491:
Everything seems to be working nice and smooth ! Good job Mike and thanks for this great work !
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Good to hear! I made many tests with all mods etc. and if someone was following the instructions from the first post carefully, then everything just must be working smooth and well! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Goodm7sn:
everything is working well , all the mods and addons i use (CRT,%batterystock,arabic,S3 weather,S3 kingdom lockscreen,S3sms) all good , silcky and smooth :D

however i noticed something, may be it was already there in HTC froyo roms but i never came across it.

in the dialer , when an "unknown" number miss calls u , the "unknown" missed call doesnt show in the dialer's log , whereas it shows in the call history section only. BUT if a known contact (saved in the people app under a name) miss calls, it shows in the log. i really find that weird:confused: may be its me who didnt notice it before.

anyways , just wanted to point this out , correct me if im wrong, and once again thank you very much mike and the team for this marvelous work.

cheers

I wanted to find answer on net but failed to do so. Mike, if I format cache through CWM 3.x will I loose EXT4 format for cache partition. If so, can you please provide a script to format cache partition into EXT4 format.
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Yes, just replace existing one.
[Desire HD Android Development] clouds5:
Everything updated now after formatting ext4 data. Flashed 5.1.7

All Mods from 2nd post working including Sense 3.0 stuff

At last flashed Battery%stock mod from Krzysiec ->worked. If you want to use it too with 5.1.7 here we go:

I think it also contains autobrightness mod (not 100% sure)!

all good now :)

[Desire HD Android Development] oajungen:
Last night I upgraded from 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 and had some strange phone call dropping today which didn't happen before on the same location. Not sure if it is ROM related, but it didn't happen with previous ROM version. I am using the recommended radio, so that can't be the issue. It also looks like I am having less connection performance with 5.1.7.

Can this be ROM related?
[Desire HD Android Development] :No-Frost::
Mike, will the patch you gave me for the APN work on this rom?? (This is user specific issue, don't ask for this patch as it's only for Chilean users using Entel carrier).

Also, the CRT mod gave me boot loops :( everything else is working like a charm :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Hawkeyed:
That's not the default boot animation from the ROM. Did you flash a theme?
[Desire HD Android Development] KID_1194:
No .. Not at all

In fact, I know how to create bootanimations and I wanted to upload some for all of you but until know I can't check it out on my phone ..
[Desire HD Android Development] Whiskey103:

[Desire HD Android Development] Jayanth.M.P:
I am experiencing a lot of battery drain after installing this ROM. Earlier on stock I could do easily one and a half days....yesterday I flashed this rom (first timer), also the radio recommended with it. My battery came down to 40% by 6 PM (disconnected at 10 AM). I tried the suggestion in Battery Improvement thread but whenever I go to spare parts and battery history it FCs. Any suggestions ?

Current Widget shows above 100mA in the graph most of the time. Not able to determine why. I have only 3 apps.....BattStatt, Current Widget, Spare Parts

I dont know if this matters or now.... I get the Android stock boot instead of HTC Boot Animation after rebooting...

Awesome, appreciate it dude :)

If you read the Sense 3 thread, kingdom lockscreen 11 include SMS2.1 so you have to flash sms3 0.8 AFTER kingdom.

[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
@mike,

Massive apologies with that PM, ignore it, I sent you the wrong script anyway :confused:

Anyway I tried it it cuz Im a risk taker and a rule breaker like that, cried when it was wrong, fixed it and all is AOK ;)

Strangest thing was though, I missed a ; and my neighbors rabbit died!

These scripts can do more then mess up your phone if used wrong!
[Desire HD Android Development] ShawnWang59:
hey doesn't the the first post say the rom does the cache formatting itself in ext4?

=)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I'm not sure what's the default formatting method in CMW. I'm not on my PC now and can't give you the complete commands. If mero01 wont update his wiping tool then I will post mine here later.
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
hah I answered you right now ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] houston_:
I think it is a good question.

I dont want to install the Rom everytime i want to clear the cache! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
But there is no need to format cache partition more often ;) You can clear dalvik-cache but my every mod deletes dalvik-cache :) Or you can do it manually.
[Desire HD Android Development] houston_:
Alright :)

One thing, you mentioned you have to change on thing to let the Sense 3.0 Mods work on Ext4.

Is it the first row of the "updater-script" ext3->ext4? Or is there more?

Well ... i have taken a look into the update-script.

If that what i think is necessary ... well it would be easy.

But looking at the %Battery ... there is no "ext3" inside the updater-script and still not working? (or just not for Simkin?)

Did something stupid

Hi guys

This is my first post.

Mike I have used your ROMs for nearly 6 months now and never had a problem before. However today I did something stupid and did not read!!!

Completely my fault!

I flashed the ext4 script file and then installed 5.1.7, when I booted up I suddenly realised that I had wiped my data, which I wasnt expecting. My fault I didnt read! I have some rather important stuff on the backup I took so decided to boot back to my old system.

I tried formatting the partition using wipe 1.3 but and then reinstalling my nand backup however this just gets my in a white screen loop once booted. Is there any way of getting my old nand backup back?

My fault entirely but just wondering!

Thanks

Jbak!
