It takes me at least 24 hours to have an idea on how battery life is as well as find time to test the other features.. ?

That said, my battery life seemed acceptable though I'm used to using "cheats" (SetCPU and later using netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal without SetCPU). I made the mistake of testing an encryption program about 1/2 way into my 24 hour battery test & ruined my test results with it (dropped 20% in 30 minutes of use). :eek:

No problems were detected prior to my encryption adventure apart from the browser issue already mentioned which I believe is the "nature" of the stock Sense browser & not attributable to Azrael-X.

Like a fine wine, it keeps getting better. :cool:

[EVO 4G Android Development] dodgeboy:
Thanks for your reply. I hope you didn't take any offense from what i posted. That was definitely not my intent. I can tell you put a lot of work into the rom, and I definitely appreciate that.

As for the battery meter, I tried two different types of percent meters, and both caused a boot loop. I only mentioned it because I thought it was something pretty much everyone was going to go through, and obviously there is room for error. I'm sure I just chose the wrong type of meters, and that's why it didn't work. I eventually landed on the circle meter, which appears to work just fine.

I had unknowingly assumed that the TB version was really old or something, because I had never had that issue before (crash upon trying to restore any apps). If it was the latest version that was available when you built the rom, than I completely agree with you. I understand that the stuff gets updated all the time, and there's no point updating your rom to just include newer APKs.

I see your reasoning with the ringers as well. I am one of those people that never bothers to make their own ringtones, and I don't like songs, etc., as ringtones. I just like something that sounds like a ringing phone. I realize I am probably a very small minority in the people on this forum. I just wanted to comment that it was one of the only roms I've tried that doesn't contain the stock ringtones (in addition to the chef's own).

I made many of my own roms for WinMo, but haven't tried it with android yet. I've only been an android user since the beginning of June. I may give it a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
You cant get ANY battery symbols with % to work with your rom while cooking it? Maybe you should pm some of the other devs like myn because his rom has a stock looking battery symbol that has a % inside the battery symbol as the default symbol. I think vaelek also has the same thing.

If you were talking about circle battery symbols then you are probably right and sorry if I stepped on your toes:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
May I ask which kernel you used with 2.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Does anyone know how to get the percent back in the battery bar? Much help plz. I notice for some reason this rom doesnt have it but i love this rom so far a lil better than calks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
You could just flash a theme
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
Just flash the Azrael theme if you are just looking for that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
Xrom tester:

Battery life report 10 hours with calls texts 2 email acc even 1 exchange at least 5 hours streaming music with pandora and youtube and i have 5 % left this is a bad ass rom also first day with full charge
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
Is there any issue to say using root explorer and swapping out ringtones that are in the ROM? Didn't know if that would cause issues after the rom is cooked. I know could just put them on the SD card but like to have them accessible even in USB mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
x rom beta test report:

slept most of today but with a full charge i'm at 66% with 13h 2m since unpluged. one thing i have noticed when sleeping it sips battery like and old lady on the beach drinking a margarita, but when it is on it starts to guzzle it down like a alchy drinks beer. anyone else having this problem with x rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
beta to full

Rick,

Can beta testers just flash full x rom over the beta or should we wipe first?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I recommend a full wipe always.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Azrael X available now

Download links up, enjoy! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ddt928:
Is X for older hardware models?
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
excuse me Ric, which features did you ad to the last release?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlew2:
mobile network problem

I've tried searching but haven't found anything, anyone know why 2.5 dc would have 3g working one day, but the next all the other radios work, but upon checking the mobile checkbox it sticks at turning on

any ideas?

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
From the beta:

Browser FC issue gone for good

Wireless tethering working

Calkulin MMS 5 MB limit mod added

All apps updated

Teeter removed (as intended)

More tweaks for speed

Spare Parts included again.

Recommended to use over the beta. Full wipe recommended though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No idea (you are the only one who had that problem), might want to upgrade to latest ROM Azrael X.

You probably shut off Mobile network or may need to update your Profile and PRL is Settings>Software updates. Do NOT try and do a software update or you risk losing root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
ok, and also thank for let me be part of your testers, and like i post before you have a really bad @$$ rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Whats the changelog from 2.5?

And just out of curiosity why name it azreal x instead of 2.6? It doesn't bother me what you name it but whats after x:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It works for any hardware model :) No need for two ROMS anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlew2:
yeah none of the above but thanks for your reply, i'm just going to flash x

thanks for your work
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Rick,

thank you for letting me beta test your new rom and thank you for the quick response to my question. I hope all of our input from the beta test was very helpful and i know your rom is gonna kick serious ass you haven't made a rom in my opinion that has totally sucked or sucked at all for that matter you definetly know what your doing. Keep up the awesome work
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
so Another Mistery that is History, no differences between OTAs at least that make battery drain faster
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ddt928:
Sweet, I'm gonna try it.

Do I have to partition my SD card prior to flashing this Rom in order to utilize apps2sd?
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalmenance:
Im confused some here......

you posted this ... Hey, why are you using an older OTA when everyone else seems to be running the new 3.30.XXX.X OTA?

but on you post you say its Built on stock Deodexed 3.30.651.3 OTA

which is it and if its 3.30...... then still good to use on version 003 evo?

just making sure cause im interested and running your azrael2.5 right now and its great work
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Well, I would not go that far...

Since the kernel was changed, battery life is better now. It was the new HTC kernels on older hardware.

It is still strange that the new HTC kernels kill battery so fast on some EVo's but not others.

HTC and/or Sprint could have easily made an update that detects whether or not your phone has the new camera chip or not and install the kernel best made for your phone. Instead, they only made the update for new Evo's with the updated camera chip (All 0004 hardware and some 0003 hardware happened to have the new camera chip too).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
This does not use the Apps2SD you are thinking of. The included Apps2SD is just a utility that helps with with moving apps to the SD card in the same fashion that Froyo does.

Please see the second post for instructions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No, thank you for testing! Your feedback, along with all of my Beta testers, helped me to improve the ROM for everyone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalmenance:
that is strange indeed.

I did think my pictures were alot better on the newer software but didnt want to give up battery for better pics.

I will give new X a try and see how my evo acts with kernal included. my evo hasnt really liked other kernals so far just the stock ones so cross fingers i guess and flash away......lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
The first post will be updated more and the second post will change.

Azrael X is made to have the speed of the 3.30 OTA with the battery life of 3.29. In other words, best of both worlds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
Quick question here. If I am currently using 2.5 can I flash to this without a factory reset of the data and just wipe the cache and dalvik?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Nova, you amuse me with your questions sometimes. :p

X means 10 in Roman numerals...this is the 10th version of the Azrael ROM. Mystery solved! It is also my ROM so I can call it what I choose :p You can throw in a lot of names after Azrael (Happy, Zero, Final, etc.). That or like Azrael X version 1.1, version 2, etc. Let us not worry about the future, let us worry about this one for now! :)

Azrael X is an all new ROM, designed to give the speed of the 3.30 OTA with the battery life of 3.29. I didn't do a changelog because frankly the first page spills out the differences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No, do a full wipe 2.5 and X are totally different animals! You will possibly run into grief by trying to flash it over and we do not want grief!
[EVO 4G Android Development] maco designs:
Downloading now, thanks for all of your hard.

[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Hi Rick, do beta testers have to do a full wipe ... meaning data factory or can we just do cache and Dalvik ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Updating first post now to include this information.

Coming off ANY previous version of Azrael (include X beta), please do a full wipe. I know it is a pain but you can run into grief if you do not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No problem, please enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I hope thats a good amusement not the kind where you think i'm "slow" or anything like that LOL. I know you can name it anything you like thats why I said I was just curious. I can't focus on this rom as I am a MAJOR flashaholic. I can go maybe 3 days before i'm itching to flash one thing or another be it a new theme or custom launcher or...gasp... another rom:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
sweet thanks... one last question... lol or maybe not but for now does this have the stock rosie or is rosie customized? if customized any way to get stock rosie?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I have a request. In your next update (or if you just feel like creating a flashable file) can you include the font changer app I have seen in some roms? I believe vaelek includes it in his rom (at least he use to) I would like to be able to change the font and that app showed you a preview on the phone before flashing the new font.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I have the sexy Rosie not the stock one. I will have a flashable zip that reverts it (ONLY the Rosie though; to change the clock I already provided a link to flashable clocks (including the stock one).
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Awesome... got the clock already just need the stock rosie from you and I am all set!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] fast2049:
Isn't your new Azreal X ROM meant for 004 Evos?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Nope, made for all of them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Any theme will work, just Nandroid in case it breaks stuff to be safe. Please see post 2
[EVO 4G Android Development] fast2049:
Great thanks man. I have been using your roms for sometime now. I find them to be the fastest :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalmenance:
Going back to 2.5 for awile I guess, for first time I was having lots of weird issues

I dont use titanium or anything, always like to start fresh with new rom and install my stuff fresh as well.

first thing was on first boot my screen had weird lines in the digitizer till I rebooted

then having issues with market and appbrain wont let me install from it either, tried wiping data in market but still acting up

maybe i will just wait a day or so and see what goies on here and try again then

was looking like great work though from what i seen

maybe its the kernal thing for my device, ive noticed my evo only seems to like the stock kernals, I only have issues with other kernals.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Kernel options posted soon. Working on that now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Stock kernel that came with X.

Just made sure that i set my battery

the day before. Let it drain all the way, wipe stats, charge it complete,

power down charge again for at least 25min then power back up and charge again till complete. I always have done that has always given me good results and can really put rom's to test as far as battery usage goes. Been doing that from day 1, even when i first got my EVO. Made sure i did that on day 1 even thought i wanted to play with it, sucked but i made sure my battery was properly "tuned".

From a EVOlved state.

[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
thats all that you are missing? if yes just try to load clock widget
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Sounds like you did not do a full wipe or you flashed something that messed it up along with it.

Please see the second post...did you try flashing any addons with the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
May I suggest this information be posted at the top of the OP, there is a lot of confusion about this with the newly rooted phones.

This could well be the answer they are looking for.

Why will this work on all EVO versions

Rick - I held off being a volunteer for the beta Azrael X. But after all your investigations, downgrading ROM versions, etc, how did you get this to work on all EVO versions? Other ROM threads have noted similar issues between pre-version 4 hardware and the 3.30 RUU OTAs. I like your choice of kernels since my phone really likes it.

Just wondering... thanks again for your efforts! I will download and give this a whirl.

:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj070:
thanks for helping

i did a factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dev/cache

then i loaded your rom

let it reboot then loaded x theme that all now i don;t see the clock i am still stuck getting back the time and clock

i can add widget but i don;t want that i want clock and time

i tried flashing custom clock but still no luck

any help please ?

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
If you're using Clockwork, switch to Amon_Ra. If you're using Amon_Ra wipe everything twice. If you're still having issues I'd say re-download the rom and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwillet:
Ran fine on 2.5, but now on a fresh install of X (wiped everything 2x), Market doesn't work. I can install an app, but if I let it sit for a minute and try to install something else, the download icon appears in the notification bar for a split second then goes away. All subsequent attempts to install anything are the same. If I reboot, I can install apps as long as they are immediately one after another. if I let it sit, then it happens again. Any ideas? Never had this with any other ROM, hopefully it's something simple...

Thanks for the hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj070:
sorry but i am lost there ?? clockwork ? amon_Ra

i am wiping everything twice

data/cache/dev

ok it is back ?? wow what a relief

so if i want to load custom clock/weather what is the best way

load the custom clock then wipe dev/cahce and reload it again ??

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Try clearing data via settings /application / manage application

Sounds like you may want to do a bit more research before continuing. You should always know what you are putting on your phone before you begin. First off you need to find out which recovery you're running. If you used unrevoked to root you're running clockwork and should switch to Amon_Ra. Run a thread search, keyword Amon_Ra. Then read read read...

I've using they XBeta all day today... and it's awesome. Battery life was great. Everything moved quickly, transitions are awesome and not one FC. I did have the phone lag once, but only once and it was only for about10 seconds.

Downloading the new release to flash... probably tomorrow.

I'm a big fan of your modified Riptide theme, but using your Azrael theme... just seemed right.

Keep up the good work.

'preciate the help, but had already tried that to no avail. Looks like I'm going back to 2.5 for tonight, gotta have a working alarm clock! Will try again tomorrow when I am supposed to be working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] islandreamer:
Just select an area where you want it and long press and select widget then clock. With the clock widget you have 12 to choose from. When you select clock you will see a clock and at the bottom of the screen you will see select with a right arrow lit up keep selecting it till you see what you want.

On the recovery program once you boot into recovery look at the bottom of the screen it should say Build : RA-evo-v1.8.0 if it says doesn't then you need to load it in.

Just tried the market and got the same results. It's got to be a market issue as I've been running Azrael X since yesterday and the market has been working fine up until this point. Please let us know when you get back to 2.5 if your market issues are still there.
