[Droid 2 Android Development] NeoWave:
I just did a frech install of the last fission, and installed the Moto Multimedia pack.

I want to activate the bass boost in music player, but the app exit itself as soon as I click on audio effect...

Any idea?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
noob Q

im new to Droid 2 and already rooted and running liberty

but i wanna switch to this...all i see is 2.5.7

where is 2.6.x or how do i get it???

TIA :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] dldunckel:
2.6.1 is only available to those who have donated and are running Fission ROM Manager (FRM) full. Donators act as a front line for testing fresh releases.

So, once the devs decide to push it out to FRM lite, then those who haven't donated can install it.

That's my interpretation of what's going on in here, so I may be incorrect, but that's my understanding.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
Ooooh i see :)

Thnx for the info!
[Droid 2 Android Development] soleicey:
i dislike how they do things, but thats just me
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
This is how most dev's do things.

They either have you donate to test, or some don't even have a open test at all.
[Droid 2 Android Development] mrkite38:
Things have been very slow for a while, too, due to team Defuse supporting multiple devices and angdroid having some downtime. As others have mentioned, following @angdroid on twitter is probably your best bet for staying informed until something is released.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jawonder:
I'm so DAMN Mad right now i had the full rom manager on my SD which i donated to get and my SD card got damaged and it was wiped from it , i donated again to get the full version but the link you guys gave is F...ing impossible it keep saying that it does not exist , i tried putting it in one letter and number at a time and it's the same thing . Tell me what to do now Team Defuse .

Why couldn't you just put a free version on the market and let us pay to unlock the full ?. I finally got through with the link and the file cannot downloaded it just keep sending me to another page , this sucks !! .
[Droid 2 Android Development] contractcooker:
What is the difference between the fission rom and the fusion rc1 rom?
[Droid 2 Android Development] mrkite38:
Fission is meant to be AOSP-like. Fusion is... blur lite.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
First, why didn't you email them/Ang? Second, why did you donate twice? Third, the link is not impossible, and while I love to just send you the apk to shut you up, I can't because that would piss the devs off because I can't verify what you are saying is true. So, how bout instead of throwing a tantrum on a forum, you man up and shoot Ang an email asking him for help. I didn't get my donation link after donating and he took care of me within a few hours.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jawonder:
The fact that you took this up and went as far as to say you want to shut me up that's damn rude . What's being a man have to do with free speech . I don't want to steal anything from anyone . Since you want to pry deeper into this to see if i'm a thief go check with the recipient of my Donations "Glenn Allen" and ask how many times did a "Wayne Reid" donate yesterday and even before that . For the records i get the link to work by putting the letters and numbers one at a time and the reason i donated the second time , i thought i was gonna get a different link .
[Droid 2 Android Development] jgc1986:
You need to sit back and take a few of these:
[Droid 2 Android Development] jw4duke:
Im sure this has been asked before but is there anyway to get blur widgets on fission???
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
Try Fusion is Fission with blur.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jawonder:
If you had a few you would mind your own business .
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
Please guys calm down. This is a forum for productive discussions and issues about android on the D2 and specifically Fission. If you wish to bicker please do is somewhere else, thanks.
[Droid 2 Android Development] RJT185:
Ditto! I'm personally anxiously awaiting to see what the next release has to offer for us D2 users.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jgc1986:
Yea I popped my 2 cents in because I am also anxiously awaiting updates as well and was tired of reading unrelated posts. :) Guess I shouldn't have fueled the fire, haha. :p
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
Just want to say thanks again to Team Defuse. Been rocking Fission since September/October and it just gets better. I have tried other ROMs but this is the best battery life and the most stable. Take your time with updates you deserve a break.
[Droid 2 Android Development] nolimit208:
Hate to contribute to useless posts in a thread that is ment for advice and productive information. But this made me laugh pretty hard!!!

Keep your crap to PM's and people wouldn't comment like that maybe??

Take your issue up with the dev's.

If the link works by putting in the numbers and letters in manually for the pass then what is the issue???
[Droid 2 Android Development] giganticprune:
this may have been covered. and im sorry if it has, but i just put fission 2.4.3 on my dg2, and its missing the gmail client. what do i do?
[Droid 2 Android Development] rtfield:
Get from market
[Droid 2 Android Development] giganticprune:
i couldnt find it in the market. but i just found the .apk from another thread. so im all good now :p
[Droid 2 Android Development] RJT185:
Has anyone taken 2.6.1 for a spin? I tried yesterday and fell asleep so I revered to a Stock Back-Up until I have time.
[Droid 2 Android Development] dldunckel:
I've been on it since it was released (not sure how long ago that was). No complaints, just improvements.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jvance325:
Ang has just posted on Twitter and there is a new Honeycomb theme on FRM.
[Droid 2 Android Development] tbaker077:
Any screen shots of how that particular theme looks like and what the bootscreen is like?
[Droid 2 Android Development] RJT185:
Thank you!
[Droid 2 Android Development] rikou_demon:
For HC Beta I Theme on D2:

Looks nice. I love the new UI changes. There's a nice Black/White radiant gradient on the status bar and some of the icons appear to have changed. Battery indicator sometimes doesn't immediately display relative battery capacity, and sometimes it just doesn't show at all. Doesn't bother me, though, since I have a separate battery widget that gives a more accurate read anyway.
[Droid 2 Android Development] tbaker077:
Anyone want to post a screenshot of the theme?

On another note anyone have issues trying to get into the 3G settings to turn data wireless off, but keeping phone wireless on with 2.6.1?
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
Where did you download it? Ive searched XDA and the Dev's website and I don't see any links on either. See it mentioned plenty on XDA, but that's many for themes.
[Droid 2 Android Development] rikou_demon:
I would post a screen of the updates if I could, but there's already a Beta II and Beta III available.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
version 2.6.1^^ edit: also this is the honeycomb beta 3 btw

I got it from frm paid version..seems pretty good so far...

Tried out liberty for a while and it was okay but I liked fission better so I switched back... didn't like the yellow stuff at all..so now im back
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
I think I figured it out, cant see if cause I don't have the paid version. Don't suppose there's been a change log released?

EDIT: Yep. Donated and downloaded full version and was able to download 2.6.1.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Also if you don't have an undervolt/overclock program get one...I've used my phone today with light use and had it unplugged for 7.x hours and my battery is at 90%...I think it had some to do with the new 2.6.1 and the fact that I use a govenor that sets the cpu at 300 when the screen is off and ultra undervolted and overclocked at 1.1gz..but its awesome. Id just like to be able to have my battery icon in the status bar and if there's any suggestions as how to do it without themes and such that'd be great because I really like the honeycomb theme im currently using and would just like to add the battery icon.
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
Which program do you use for overclocking?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Droid overclock by jrummy..its the best..had it since it was initially released and is worth the few bucks....I truly can't believe my battery life...been on (off the charger) since around 10 this morning and used lightly for txting and some web surfing and a few phone calls and I have 70% and its 11:30 now...that's best EVER!...
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
I assume you mean the 11:30 that's 13.5 hours away, instead of 1.5 hours? Cause if you're only at 1.5 hours, then that's kinds crap :P I've had mine off of the charger since about 6:30am, and it's about 11:30am now, and I just dropped to 80% about 5 min ago.

As for the app, that's the app I've been using. Havnt really found any where with any good custom values. Not that underclock on the low end, overclock on the high end, and undervolt. From what I've seen it's ususally been one or the other. Thus far I've been using the 1.0Ghz lowvoltage preset. I tried a 800mhz low voltage, but it wasnt very stable with Fission. What are the settings you use?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Running with light use for 20 hours now with the stock battery at 80%!...I surprised myself..I can't believe it..2.6.1 definitely has something to do with it..never changing....and screen off at 300mhz profile
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Just showing my battery usage along with my battery widget on my home screen as proof that it is what it is...as of now im at 1 day and 3 minutes with 60%.... :D
[Droid 2 Android Development] joeld82:
Hey guys. I love the fission ROMs but this last build has some of my paid apps missing in the market. The most important one is NFS shift. I've had this problem before, so I've actually paid for this app twice. Is there a fix to make the market show all my apps? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
Not really sure how that setup would actually help the battery life? The Mhz are all identical, except for the 2nd (lowered by 0.1Ghz) and 5th (Raised by 0.1Ghz), and the voltage is several digits higher on each setting... O.o
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
these are some of the settings and there is the voltage settings as well...all are undervolted except the 1.1ghz...so idk what you're talking about. It states in the settings that if you want ultra undervolt take those numbers and subtract by 4..so if you look at what I set mine at they are all at or below 4......?????...either way, these settings are making my phone work at great speeds and longest battery life EVER...I got the d2 the day it came out in august last year and this is the LONGEST EVER my battery has lasted on any rom and with tons of different settings with oc programs. Try it out
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
amazazing. I am going to copy your overclock stats on the 2.6 fission and see if I get similar awesome results.

Thanks!

Also- I'm at a point where I think I'd like to remove as many apps that I've added as possible, is there a method/ option to reinstall the rom without reinstalling the apps I already have? to get the base fission 2.6 and nothing else? (PS everything I have is free crap so I wouldn't be missing any paid apps from the market or anything.) Thanks again,

-Andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
When you install fission, you can tell it (thru the rom manager) to format the "/data" thus removing all your apps. (If you install thru clockwork directly, you can accomplish the same by doing a factory reset before ya install from zip) However as soon as you sign-in to the market it's just going to start downloading them again, so you'd need to whip your Market history first. That or manually uninstall them all before you re-flashed.

That however does bring up an interesting thought for JonandRoid, how many apps do you have installed?
[Droid 2 Android Development] neversummer515:
Boot Animation

So, I wanted to give Liberty a try yesterday. I did a wipe, installed liberty and after using it decided that I did not like it. So I did another wipe and did a restore of my previous settings. But for some reason my Boot Animation still shows up with the Liberty Boot screen and then into the 3rd Eye Black Boot. Any idea how to fix this and get rid of the Liberty Boot?
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
To truly git rid of Liberty, you have to do SBF. That's because Liberty formats the "/system" folder and installs it from scratch. Fission, on the other hand, does not format "/system", just modifies the contents of the "/system" folder. Thus, would not remove all of the elements of Liberty.
[Droid 2 Android Development] neversummer515:
How do I do the SBF?
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770224 :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
See I didn't know that but what I did was I wiped data/cache and then installed 2.6.1 over liberty. Then booted up into new fission, went to settings, then did a factory reset from fission, then booted back up after factory reset, then restarted into clockwork and installed the gingerbread theme and I haven't seen any left overs of liberty. Ill also take some screens of my program list because I know people were wanting to know.
[Droid 2 Android Development] neversummer515:
Thanks that worked.
[Droid 2 Android Development] neversummer515:
Not sure how you are pulling good battery life off of these settings. I copied them exactly and I have never seen my phone drain as fast. Am I missing something or are these settings all I should need?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
And below terminal emulator are 2 apps, xda and youtube(didn't see the need for another picture)..so those are all the apps I installed.
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
You may not "see" anything, but there will still be internal parts of liberty left over because nothing you did replaced ALL the files put Liberty put in /system. And that is part of why your battery life is so good, I have over 100 apps installed so my battery life will never be quite that good.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Did you set your phone up for a profile to when the screen is off?...I set it min and max 300mhz when the screen is off...if you didn't do that maybe that's why...idk?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Chiggins:
I haven't been keeping too much up on Fission, but is there an ETA on the newest release, and what would be included in it?
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
The newest release is current in Beta. But I havn't seen anything on a confirmed full release date.
[Droid 2 Android Development] peach007:
quick question, i installed a theme but didn't like it, now when i changed it, the dock icons are still the same. how do i go about fixing that? using adw.
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
OK so after uninstalling a bunch of crap, and applying these settings to the droid overclock app, I am currently at 20% with 1d 11h 36m on the clock after unplugging. I used a solid 30 minutes of GPS navigation and have been doing what I'd consider light browsing and normal calls/ texts.

Pretty nifty... that's the best I've seen so far. Would of course be better if I hadn't used navigation.

(I didn't know how how to take screenshots easily so just take my word on it...)

I also do not have the setcpu program, wonder if that would help further.

Also considering extended battery.

Anyway, highly recommend Jonandroid's settings to droidoverclock. Thanks!

-Andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] neversummer515:
Ok, so I just redid the settings again and I am gonna give it a try for the entire day and see how it goes. How do I set up the min/max 300mhz when the screen is off in jrummy's app?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Click the menu button on your screen and profile option should pop up and set min and max 300 when the screen is off profile. Also with the success of extremly long battery life, I try to keep as many programs not running as possible in the background. If I use an app and wont be using it the rest of the day I go to manage applications in settings(made a shortcut to my home screen) and force stop any apps that im not going to use any more. Also I noticed that the day I had extremly good battery was when I was off of work and around the area of my home with good service, not sure if having good service would help but when I go out to a work site and have crappy reception and my phone constantly goes from 1x to 3g it seems to deplete the battery a little faster so that's something to think about.

Also I have a running services shortcut and kill any running services not needed...
[Droid 2 Android Development] oldcyberdude:
Cell phones do have a power adaption feature that will raise/ lower the transmit power depending on the available signal strength to the cell. I haven't ever that it makes a great deal of difference in battery life except in one case.

Visitors were not allowed to keep their cell phones when entering my facility. We stored them in a metal box while they were visiting. We found that if people left their phones on, the phone would use maximum power in attempting to maintain cell contact through the metal box. Over a long visit (several hours) the battery would run down.
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
My test ended with 54 hours of battery using jonandroids droid overclock app settings. Much better than what I have been getting. Now I need to be sure I have the screen on/ off profiles set correctly, look into the setcpu app, and do a few more tweaks, but I think 54 hours of normal use with at least a solid hour of gps navigation is ok with me.

-andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] dldunckel:
Holy battery life, Batman! 54? That's insane! Post up your settings and anything else you don't mind sharing.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Wow...that's pretty awesome....I took a look at the voltage settings I posted and am currently using and for 1.1mhz I had the voltage set at 70 which is actually running high voltage according to jrummy specs and the normal voltage is supposed to be 64 so I switched it to that so we will see if that helps even more because at 1.1mhz the phone is over clocked and sucking more battery life running at higher voltage so it should help and not render any kind of performance hence the over clock at 1.1. Yes I also have set cpu running and pretty much set the same profile to have it at 300mhz min and max when the screen is off and to ensure the cpu is being overclocked properly but its probably not needed unless I utilize the settings more in depth but its still pretty good battery life so far for me and im glad other people are getting good results from my settings, anything to help the droid 2 community and also, where is everyone!. The forums seem to have just dropped off...nobody is posting anymore and no more developing is happening...maybe angdroid made too much money from all the support and is retired now lol...it'd be nice to hear from the devs every now and then
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
OR he didn't make enough from the meager community and decided to develop for another device. Either way I sure do appreciate his work and this ROM works awesome! I bought the paid version and threw a few beers his way. People like that make smart phones worth having.

"Holy battery life, Batman! 54?"

Yep, like I said I didn't take screen shots but when it finally died it was at 2 days 6 hours. Also keep in mind I'm only using 1 overclock app, and I quit using anti virus/ battery boosters/ app killers. I just watched the running services or whatever. I figure that multiple overclocks would interfere with each other, and JRummy's seems to be the best.

Download JRummy16's Droid overclock from the market, look back at Jonandroid's post for his settings, that's what I used to get the 54 hours. I also used low low screen brightness (I work in an office) and used a solid hour of navigation with high brightness while outside during my 54 hours.

I'm nobody to be taking advice from, I just copied jonandroid's stats as a test and am pleasantly surprised. I will probably charge to 100% and try the altered settings he just posted as well to see if they make any improvement for me.

I think the key is to just be conservative. I also don't use facebook/ twitter or have much of anything auto updating/ syncing, just my regular phone.

Back on topic- I think the newest update of fission seems to help battery life and when tweaked with undervoltage/ underclock when not heavily using the phone, and turning some things off when you don't need them, Fission 2.6.x is running stable as hell and fast as I want it to.

I have encountered ZERO rom- related problems/ bugs. The girlfriend also has a D2, it is stock, and it goes dead in <12 hours. I just clocked 54 hours. Mine looks better, gives off free hotspot wifi, and no bloatware.

Did I mention mine survived a >10 second submersion in a pond?

-Andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] dldunckel:
I got just over 30 hours of life, but I had very little usage of the phone in general. I think if I were to use the phone more heavily that the life would be cut in half.
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
Were you using Jonandroid's suggested stats? I realized I only used his setcpu fequencies (in the droid overclock app) and typed in the numbers he first suggested, in my first attempt which ended with 54 hours.

2 nights ago I set up my profiles with a screen on and screen off, and changed the last parameter that he suggested. The phone lasted 24 hours and had 70-80% left, then I started loading all kinds of things that needed a reboot, and I didnt realize that would restart my clock. I was hoping realistically for about 70 hours of battery life.

We should start a new thread in the Droid 2 General with suggested OC stats and battery test results. I will be starting a new test with above mentioned settings and completely normal use today, expect to hear back about it with a post in general in 2 days or so (hopefully 3!).

Fission is doing it's job nicely. Props to Angdroid and co-developers. I just got StuntinX's theme Galaxy-S and I love the battery indicator up top in my quest to improve battery life.

-Andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] dldunckel:
I wasn't using his setup. I'll try that next. I just tried the ultra low voltage setting with the 1.0GHz, 800MHz, 500MHz, 350MHz profile. I also set a profile (governor) to keep it no greater than 800MHz when the screen is on and drop down to 300MHz when the screen is off.

I'll update to use his suggested settings and report back. I agree that a lot of the battery savings comes from Fission and the fact that there's so much bloat stripped out. I do have a few apps that continually run and ping 3G a lot, so maybe I get rid of those or reduce the frequency of their 3G usage.

I'm hoping that we get Gingerbread soon for Fission!
[Droid 2 Android Development] tbaker077:
Anyone else having an issue with trying to turn data off, because I am not able to via settings menu. I tried a two or three widgets from the market for turning data on and off but that didn't work here either. I even did a clean install of 2.6.1, but no dice. Any ideas as to why?
[Droid 2 Android Development] atothec:
I'm using extended controls widget for that and it turns off my data (you are talking about 1x/ 3g right?) without problems with fission 2.6.1.

-Andrew
[Droid 2 Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
I am not having any issues, just tried it out and it works fine. For me anyway. How are you doing it thru settings" Did you go to Wireless and networks -> Mobile Networks and unchecking Data Enabled?
[Droid 2 Android Development] tbaker077:
Yeah that where I went, but I can't get into the mobile network settings all. Even after a clean start.
