+1. Give it a few cycles to determine battery life. Sometimes a kernel will suck at first and then pick up some steam. Most times, in fact (at least in my experience). Keep in mind that downgrading your PRI is only gonna help with screen off battery life (sleep). The problem with the 1.90 PRI is that some people are getting phones that refuse to sleep with the screen off. My battery life has always been fine with 1.90, so I left it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mykeldrip:
thanks guys! im going to give this paticular one a cpl of cycles!

what is this about downgrading pri? how can i tell if my phone is one that would need that downgrade?
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
DAMMIT! Still having the same problem. I can't use the UOT kitchen. I don't know why, as it only seems to replace the png files for the battery as far as I can tell. And yes, I wiped cache and dalvik before flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
To downgrade PRI, you have to flash the 1.77 PRI (search). 1.90 PRI is keeping phones awake at all times, not letting them sleep. After giving your kernel a few days to settle in, battery use with your screen off should be almost nothing (maybe 1%/hr.) If it's more than that, you might need to downgrade. You can also check screen time vs. awake time with Spare Parts (d/l via the market).
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
You dont have to down grade it yet, i would wait a few cycles of that kernal to see, then try another kernal, but if you look under settings/about phone/software information it will tell you. look for PRI either be 1.90_003 or the 1.77
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Cho mentioned the metamorph batt files won't work on his theme. I tried one the other day and it did nothing, no batt icon. You issues with UOT Kitchen, kind of have me thinking not batt icon in the status bar is ok for no.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
Moderate use, txt,emails,calls, market,appbrain,websites.. etc,etc
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Everything else seems themed blue, just the main background remains the same. Otherwise no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Not all battery issues are from kernel and ROM issues. By default the Talk app will automatically log you in as soon as the phone turns on and continuously synch with the service. This app can be set to not automatically log in and then you can sign out of the app.

You should also check how often everything is set to sync. You can adjust any email, stocks, news, weather, etc... to sync less frequently.

I also have my screen brightness set to a slightly dimmer setting instead of letting it automatically control the brightness.

There is actually a pretty helpful article on Sprints support site about battery life on the Evo. It gives specific apps to check and change for better life.

Finally, if it is a kernel, I have had the best battery life with the one in my signature. 24hr battery life on first charge after flashing this kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Just read up on SBC before flashing if you decide to use this suggested kernel. I'm not saying SBC is good or bad. I don't have a reason to use one. But just be aware that the POSSIBILITY is there that they may be dangerous. Read for yourself and then determine. Search should give you PLENTY of results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Getting closer...

Unless you guys like this instead of the black Background....Speak now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwright83:
is the link for a black themed htc sms for mikfroyo v45
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Wow, this thread has really slowed down. Either everything Mik is so smooth no one needs help or everyone is extremely busy. I'm use to having to spend most of the night catching up on the day and evenings discussions.

Also, you can look up an app called autostarts. It let's you see all the circumstances where apps are launched automatically and decide whether or not you want to prevent them from doing so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I respectfully disagree with this one. Just let android do its thing. Yes, if you have a really poorly coded app, something like that CAN help (in which case, you're better off just uninstalling the app), but generally, you're just screwing with the OS as it tries to do its job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AtiRadeon1:
Here is the link for the inverted sms by ericwgarza1.

Note: even though this gives the inverted sms, it will break some of the themes that you would have already loaded, since this is for the Default theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
Why not just use Handcent, much more customizations than just inverting SMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i would hope its cuz i gave everyone what they want and that its because they can find everything made for my rom these days.

i hope so anyways...

btw guys... just as some quick nice stats... since im working on odex/deeodex new base roms right now... here is a fun fact:

a stock rom, without gapps included has 4311 images that should be in gray scale while approx 75% of them are not.

just to show u guys how much htc/google like to mess with us and are kinda trying to make it look a tiny bit better in the price of optimization.

when i say a tiny bit better i mean it... cuz really approx 90% of those 75% would look 100% the same if they are or are not in grayscale.

thats a nice fun fact for tonight... hopefully some of u guys find it interesting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Interesting. You'd wonder why they would do that...

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] DreamSQK:
As an industrial engineer, I constantly ask "Why would you do it that way?" 95% of the time the answer is "Because we always have done it that way..."

Folks are consistent... even if they are consistently inefficient or just wrong...

Thanks for the stats Mik... Love me some statistics!
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Cool. Got my weird fact for the day. LOL. That is interesting though, Mik.

On another note, I'm at my wit's end with the stupid UOT kitchen. I've tried custom batteries, preset ones from their kitchen, wiping cache/dalvik, not wiping cache and dalvik, anything I could possibly think of. I still keep getting bootloops when I flash the new framework with the gapps AND sense FC. I absolutely don't get this, and it's driving me up the friggin' wall. All of the metamorph battery files from post #4 work fine for me. Anybody have any ideas at all? I'm willing to try about anything to get the battery icon I want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I'm always game for some random cool facts :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Are you using any themes or stock MikFroYo 4.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I'm using Mikblue, that's all. I used some other stuff too (flashables/metamorphs from post #4), but that shouldn't matter, as I pulled my framework-res.apk directly from the phone, and uploaded that in the UOT kitchen. I've gotta be missing something. Either something so simple, it'll be like "duh!", or something so complex I'll never find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u r very right man...

i took apart some old htc phones... some samsung ones also.... and the newer they r... the more crap gets added on them.

and the funny thing is... the old files are always still there even if there is no use for them.

thats why u will find so much landscape files on the Evo packages.... when u really cant even use it... they build for the future while keeping the past...

a good way to program things while keeping it working on all devices... but it shows how they dont really optimize it per device.

thats where i try to come in btw... or plan on coming in anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DreamSQK:
And that is why you are so appreciated! Thanks for all of your great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Just noticed something that I thought was interesting...

I have an app called quick settings linked to my search button long press.

I also have myn's wide rosie running.

When at the homescreen, and holding my phone in landscape orientation, if I longpress the search button then the status bar, the Rosie, and the wallpaper all go into landscape when the app is pulled up.

I just thought it was interesting that the Rosie and the wallpaper did it too. If only I could get the rest of Sense to follow along.

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no problem man... like i always say... it fun doing this.

btw... one thing i would like to see people check when they compare my rom to others... which is something i just noticed my self.

i've been on the phone a lot lately... and the surprising thing is... after like and hour and a half stright on the phone non stop... the phone didn't warm up even a little bit.

im using stock kernel btw... but this is one thing im pretty sure that if u guys will use any rom thats not based on mine... will not happen.

of course i could be wrong here... but thats what i noticed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i will never understand what up with a lot of u guys liking landscape...

i remember when i had my diamond... the first thing i wanted to do is disable landscape the sec that manila 2.5 showed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
getting a error with my wifi.

when i try to enable it, it says Error...

any idea whats going on?

also no weather apps besides the phones stock weather app can find my location, they always say network error.

yes everything is enabled like normal, gps,location all that good stuff.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Hahahahahaa I think its because we don't have it.

I keep my auto rotate off all the time. I don't like having it rotate while I'm looking at it...

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
This has been discussed more times than I can count, and the only solution is to wipe and reflash the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
no need to be rude.

ive done this already.

the issue with the weather has been happening for sometime, on other roms as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
probably a sprint thing... or a google thing... especially since u say it happens on other roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Ahh!!! You just brought up painful memories of my touch pro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
If it happens on other ROMs then it's clearly not a MikFroYo issue, maybe it's just the app itself. Also, it's hard to diagnose an issue without knowing your setup. Perhaps you can add your information to your signature......(hint hint ;))
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
well i was using palmery weather pro or whatever its called.

it stopped updating, towards the end of november.

i just thought it was a app thing, until i loaded up more weather apps tonight and everyone of them said it had a network error.

i just updated my pri, and stuff like that to make sure it wasnt that.

still having the issue.

any idea? it doesnt even do anything when i hit location, like it would when i load up google maps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Google maps works? Maybe try turning on your gps to get a lock? I currently have The Weather Channel app and WeatherBug and neither have issues getting my location.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Maybe try the original framework-res.apk from MikBlue and then redo your metamorphs? Just trying to throw out ideas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Thats the funny thing it does, right to my current location.

then when i open go weather while doing that it still says network error.

animated weather lets me input my zipcode to get my location, but go weather does not, still says network error.

the issue is baffling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Also make sure its set to sync, and make sure data is on, if you wanna be really sure always on mobile data, and as for the gps... It is full wipe and reflash and if you completely restore with titanium you take your setup right back to what it was and that's why its gonna work then quit... So be selective with restoring data...

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Lots of similar complaints about Go Weather in the market comments, so must be an app issue. I just tried it and got the same error. Apparently if you are not on wifi you will get the error. I also get the error on Animated Weather. Seems to be an app issue in both cases, as I have not had any other related issues.

p.s. Sorry if I seemed rude before but it is a common issue and a quick search should have given you results. However, I noticed that search is down (what else is new), and therefore I apologize.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Yes everything is set up as far as auto sync,background data and always on.

the animated weather and one other app update fine after i input zipcode.

just network error with go weather and my old fav palmery weather or whatever its called, they will not update.

ill have to look into it more and really find out what the issue is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Well thanks for trying them, the search was down yesterday as well. i usually always try to search first before i ask.

this is how i figured out my wifi was in error, i tried to turn it on to see if the app would work that way.

looks to be such a nice app (go weather), i did not check them out on market so i did not see the comments.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Thanks for at least trying to search. I believe jklong has suggested in the past to use google and put in the terms you are looking for. You can even put site:xda-developers.com at the end to make sure you only get hits from xda.

Personally, I think most of these weather apps are just trying to rip off HTC's clock widget so why bother if you have the original?
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I guess that's as good an idea as anything else I've considered. It's just not making sense (no pun intended), as all the kitchen seems to do is replace the png's for the battery and add some for the charging animation (possible problem?), and then recompiles and you download it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
ill try that next time the search is down.

what i liked about palmary is its gorgeous UI and weather alerts from the nation weather service, it was always instant and accurate.

had a full weeks worth of weather i could load in a small bar under my sense clock, when i would tap it, it would well me the morning, afternoon and night temps.

looks like i was wrong on it being something on my end.

sometimes it would seem like the htc weather was not all that accurate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Just wanted to show how my battery is doing on my phone and i only have added maybe 20 or 30 apps but no real drainers

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It's definitely not always accurate, it's not even always the right city. I've even gotten Reykjavik, Iceland weather, although it was probably a network issue that day (my time was also messed up). That's why I got The Weather Channel app and it's not too bad. Nothing special, but I'm not looking for anything that is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Just checked on the charging thing. It mods the charging xml to make it work with the images that it put in, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Well, that's good to know. However, I just tried it with the Mikblue framework as you suggested, and I got the same result. Force closes and bootloops all around. Nandroiding back as we speak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Weird. Maybe post in their xda thread and see what they say? I can't think of anything else right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Another weird thing is the zip it kicks back to me is actually smaller than the original framework file, in spite of the fact that I'm actually adding files for the charging animation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Yeah, I've been trying to search around since I started having this problem. Can't find a whole helluva lot. I appreciate ya trying, man. Grassy ass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Really? I made a test one and it went from 2.36 MB to 2.50 MB. Basically what you would expect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Um...if I didn't know the little spanish I do, I might have thought that sounded a little funny :D.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u guys gotta keep in mind that its not the whole apk size that really matters here... its also the sizes of whats inside it.

i can compress an apk to the max... it will make my framework less than 2mb... but... is it really the point here?

i say no... what makes the diff is not the apk size only... its the sizes of the files in it also.

i hope thats makes more sense to u guys... cuz the apk size really dont mean much if the content inside is big.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chessmyantidrug:
I used MetaMorph to install RipTide's status bar, but I wan't all the stock 4.5 icons. Is there any way to go back to the other icons?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I was just saying that it started at 2.36 and since it added around 95 charging .png's it makes sense that it should go up to 2.50. He was saying his got smaller somehow which is a little strange.

Also, totally unrelated, if the files inside are big how is it possible for the actual apk to be small :confused:?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Just noticed you said the zip is smaller than the apk. Zip's are compressed so that makes sense. What about the actual new framework file vs the old one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
compression ratio... thats should explain it.

and... i dont compress the resources... while others might.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
That's what I was talking about, the file, not the zip.

I did just find something interesting. Pulling apart my Mik file, the battery icons are in drawable-hdpi folder, and in the zip that the UOT kitchen spit back at me, they're in drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. Might that have something to do with it? I'm just trying to find ANY differences that might have anything to do with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
So I guess like the ladies always say, size does NOT in fact matter. :eek: LOL. Sorry, but that was just like a softball lobbed up for me. Come on jadeboy. Hit me with that double facepalm. I know it's comin'.

How do I get my themed market back? Once I do get it back, does freezing the market updater help? Thanks...
[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
i uninstalled the update via appbrain then went into TB and froze market updater ... but my market still updated ... maybe i need to freeze MikMarket as well.. trying that now ...

that dont work .. if i freeze MikMarket then i cant run the application .. not sure why freezing the updater isnt working ... still being updated automatically
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Stopping Market Updates

I saw a tip a long time ago from someone on here about Market updates that has worked for me and prevented any updating of my Market app for a long time.

Don't worry, this only affects the "Auto Updating" of the Maket apk itself, not updating normal apks via the Market. (It might affect "auto updating" of apks, but I never select that option in Market so I'm not sure about this)

Goto /data/data/ directory and MOVE the folder "com.android.vending.updater" to the root of your sd card. Then MOVE the apk "/system/app/Marketupdater.apk" to you sd card also.

Note: don't "copy" but "Move" the apps (I used Root Explorer) and also, to move Marketupdater.apk you will have to mount /system/app as R/W.

Note: I added this tip to my solutions thread in my signature also!

what will happen if i downgraded my pri from 1.90_003.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Sorry, it's been too long and the effect kinda wore off. I'll give you a single:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Then you won't have PRI version 1.90_003 :D. Sorry, couldn't resist. Could you clarify your question? I don't really get what you're asking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwright83:
my question is what will happen if i downgrade from 1.90_003 to 1.77_003
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Ok..... I'm not going to pretend I understand this stuff nearly as much as you do :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Then you will have PRI 1.77 :D. In all seriousness, if you have 1.90 and are having no problems then stick with it. People have downgraded because they were having 100% awake time issues and downgrading sometimes resolves that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Sorry I have to correct your statment. Its not a awake time issue the pri causes, its a cpu load issue. The cpu will rocket to 85% to 100% non stop causing the battery drain. Your phone will sleep but its the radio that is making the cpu overload happen so it appears to be an awake issue.

Not calling you out, just making it clear ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Don't stress too hard. I will make that framework for you this weekend if you don't get it by then.

Hello All :)

I forgot to ask this lastnight, the blinking Led for new messages is that set for a certain amount "blinks" before it stops? i noticed lastnight when i was in bed had a email but didnt get up to read it but i noticed it stopped after so many "blinks" before it would blink all the time till i open the email,txt, etc,etc so it reminds me.

Well, then here's to mixin' it up a bit. I dedicate this one to myself. LOL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Put the files back where you moved them from and just use TB to freeze the Market Updater app. Remove the update and you should be back to normal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I wouldn't say I'm stressing necessarily (not yet anyway). I'm playing around with different stuff, but I'm getting kind of frustrated when the outcome isn't what I expected, but I'm also learning. I took Chingy's circle battery metamorph from post #4, and replaced all the png files with the ones I want, and tried flashing that. Normal battery icons are fine, but the charging ones, not so much. I'm guessing since I didn't change the original xml, and just the png's (which added like 15 png's to the charging animation), it's not getting the right "instructions" for lack of a better term. Just gotta figure out how xml's work now. Off to go read more. Real quick though, anyone know which xml I have to edit to get my charging animation right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
