[EVO 4G Android Development] Graphic Anomaly:
I didn't care about registering at all. I probably spend more time there, than I do here. (:

But I will say this...just as a heads up...I know of other roms/devs, that broke off and did there own thing, and when they stopped having direct d/l links on XDA, and having "register to download" setups at their own site, they were warned, and removed from XDA. I'm pretty sure in XDA's rules, it says that is not allowed. I'm sure it has something to do with the "open source-ness".

This Rom is awesome however on the 4.6.2 ROM I used, there is something or a bug that keeps the display on. My settings are all the same.

Time out screen 30sec

No animation wallpaper

Auto brightness

I had these same settings before I used this Rom no prob and had my battery last up to 16-18hrs..

Now when I check battery info the display shows at 50-84% on!! What in the world. Has anyone else had this issue. If so what can I remove to control this.

As of now I did a restore and my display is showing at 4% which is normal. So there's something in the Rom causing my display to remain on and I can't find the cause. I've cleared dalvik cache....

But since I did a restore all is well.

Ideas??!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I assume you are talking about the "what is using your battery stuff"? If so that is just a percentage of what is using your battery, it doesn't mean your battery is draining faster.

IE if you were to play Pandora on your phone for an hour or 2 pandora would be what is using your phone the most.

Again it's just a percentage (ratio out of 100%) of what is using your battery. Not a bug or problem with the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
I get that...however it IS draining my battery more. And the battery info does tell you what's used which can affect battery. I went from having 16-18hrs to 8-9hrs. I'm using the same settings..email push etc etc.......but my display shows 50,60,84% and then has a timer of when its on and it will show min used not seconds. So something is.keeping the display using the most battery or using the most power however youd like to word it......

And I can't seem to find out what's causing it. So how do you explain that right now my display shows a at 5-6% vs 50-84%??? Come on man what made the big spike in power? That's what I'm trying to underdtand. So if anyone has run into this issue please let me know if you've fixed it and what you did...I want this Rom but i don't want to sacrifice rom for battery...that cuts my battery in half.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
My display percentage consistently shows around the 50-70% range of what is using my battery. And with the same exact setup I had with 4.5 on 4.62 I got the exact same battery life around 18-20 hours, sometimes I actually got more battery life out of 4.62.

What kernel are you using? How long did you run the ROM before you restored? Did you get rid of all the bloatware that is in 4.62, since it isn't removed by default? Are you using any task killers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
Nope got rid of bloatware. The only thing I kept is navigation. So why would the display show more than before???? I'm not using any kernel. Unless the 4.6.2 Rom has a kernel built in....

I don't mess with kernels if I don't have too. But why would my display go from 4-5% before I flashed the Rom to 50+% after I flashed this Rom? That's the question...there's something keeping or causing the display to be on more...why.....I never had at before I flashed and I abused my phone. I do the exact same thing and I get maybe 6-8hrs...something is obviously wrong.

How are you able to get that long out of your battery? I'm using the stock battery by the way. And I can could get 16-18hrs...

The battery gauge is a great tool bc if I turn on WiFi or do whatever else it let's me know how much I've used...well since the flash of this rom its showing that I'm using more if my display...

Therefore more battery use. I just need to know how to turn it off
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
Also I ran Rom for 24hrs before I noticed the battery drain. I calibrated and cleared battery stats once charged....I don't use task killers as that's just a joke. I'm not so much a noob. So I know what does what. All I'm saying is that I think there's a bug causing the display to stay on even though its not used. I know how much my display is used and what's showing is incorrect
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I use an SBC kernel and with the stock battery (I have 2600 extended now) on 4.5 I could get about 20 hours of life if I pushed it, but on 4.6x I could get over 20 hours of life.

What are the other percentages of all the other things in your current setup? Are they higher than what they were in 4.62? Maybe in 4.62 they are just lower therefore increasing the percentage reading of your display.

I don't know what to tell you, man, it's just a ratio of what's being used.

BTW get on chat or call sprint and complain about your battery life and they'll send you a free extended battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Reboot your phone and turn the screen off for 5 - 10 minutes. Then go to that battery settings, click on display and check the reported time on. Does it show the display time on is also 5 to 10 minutes?

I think the reporting of the display % is correct now (+70% of the total) versus what people are accustomed to see (~5%). We all can agree that the screen will use the greatest amount of power right? I can't believe that running the phone for 12+ hours with a display on time of 3+ hours only takes up 5% of the battery usage. That's the statistic that never made sense to me.

Each rom flashed can have different battery usage, even if all of the settings are the same. Everyone here would be willing to help you attain the same battery life you previously had. It might require a different kernel, sleeping script, pri downgrade, etc, but you would have to accept its not the display % causing the problem.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well then I guess you would know that you should run it for more than one charge cycle before deciding. Run it for a couple of days and see if the battery life stays the same.

And by calibrated, what exactly did you do to calibrate?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Big +1 on that. If anything, the percentage makes more sense now. Also, I've noticed it like this on all odexed ROMs I've flashed (not many, but still). Maybe it's an odexed thing? Or maybe it's something else that was changed between 4.5 and 4.6 and odex is just a coincidence.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
I appreciate all the comments....I did get a new battery from Sprint so maybe I was too much of a brat to let it go through a few cycles.... And it could be bc of the odex Roms... I really like this rom.. its smooth... FAST.. WOW! and I love sense Roms...

What I meant by the percentage is that I could go 16-18hrs using the phone as I described earlier and my display percentage would show (not that I've looked) 11%. So if you can understand where I'm coming from when I see 84% when I use the phone the same way.. What is causing that the display to spike or show so high... Is it bc the ROM is flashed in a smaller capacity?? If so then that could make sense..

I will try the sbc kernel to see if that helps.....

Again thank you all for your comments.. and if you have any other ideas you know where to find me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
Which Kernel are you using by the way??
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I will almost guarantee the SBC kernel will help, try the one in my setup link or in jades sig..we use the same one but he uses more and i use less, more didn't like my phone however it might like yours. It's advised to start with more and if your phone is acting weird (reboots, laggy, etc) switch to less, but again you should give it 2-3 charge cycles.

As for the display percentage, I can't emphasize it enough that it's just a percentage (ratio) of what's using your battery, so maybe now all the other items are your phone are optimized so much they aren't using near they battery they were before. Check your percentages of your other things running on your phone and see what they are.

We are here to help...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I don't know the exact reason for the "spike" but, like I said, I see it on all the ROMs I flash now. However, I also don't see any decreased battery life because of it either. And SBC won't make a difference, because that's what I use and I still have it.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "flashed in a smaller capacity"? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I think what he meant by SBC helping, was helping with battery life, not necessarily the display...at least that's how I understood.

I was also curious about the flashed in smaller capacity.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Until he clarifies his meaning, I'm going to assume it might mean the rom has a smaller footprint, such that other aspects of battery usage is reduced which makes display usage a higher ratio... That's my guess anyways.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yeah, well it will definitely help with battery. I was talking about the percentage. Thanks for clarifying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Even if that were true, it wouldn't increase the display percentage that much. It's clearly not using the same "percentage system" as in the past. And, like you said, this way definitely seems more accurate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
+1

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
thats exactly what I meant.. Thanks.. And as far as the SBC meaning to get better battery life..

Thanks Guys
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You're welcome. Hope it works out for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
I just had one more question... I've been searching on this forum and maybe I'm missing something.. I CAN remove the SBC kernel "more" if I decide not to right...

Alls I would need to do is just restore and thats it??

Or do I need to flash back to original? Also you said try a few charge cycles first.. Is it advised to charge a few cycles first on a new battery before flashing kernel or could I do that now?

Wanted to be sure I was understanding correctly...

Cheers:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
You could restore but it would be easier to just flash different kernel.

Just do that right after you flash new kernel. Give it a few cycles before you decide how its doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacidath:
I have noticed that the display % is higher but android system is way lower... i use the scaling script and conservative governor... almost 18 hours unplugged with over 6 hours awake time and at 51%
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
I figured out why the battery was draining.....it was that PRI update I flashed. I had 1.90 but flashed back to 1.77 and so far so good. My battery life was great before I flashed and when I did that's when the drama began.

Theres a thread that covered that and similar experiences..

After flashing back to1.77 my display percentage still showed high but I was able to get about 12hrs off one charge. Waiting on extended battery..may also flash sbc kernel too. Just scares me on that.

Have any of you had any issues with the more kernel. Also it was mentioned I could restore to get everything back to normal if I didn't like the more kernel. So is there an original stock battery file incase I'm not liking the kernel instead of restoring phone??

Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Great, yeah forgot about that option, happy you got it working better.

Don't sweat the SBC kernel stuff, but be sure to read up on it and make the decision yourself. I've had no issues with it, except better battery life. ;)

As for the more, some phones just don't like them, mine for instance acting weird, ie lag, glitchy, reboots, etc, so I went to less and didn't have those issues. Start with more, because technically I think it's supposed to get you better battery life and if it shows any of those symptoms move to less and if it still acts quirky move to nohavs.

I have the original HTC #15 kernel in my mediafire folder in my signature in a folder called kernels.

Did you get the 2600 extended battery? And did you get it free?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
Thanks bro..sprint gave me an original battery which is fine. I ordered a 1900mah battery from amazon. Once I get it I'll report back. It was 2- 1900mah with charger for $30......slim version so I don't have to change my otterbox case...

I'm going to flash the kernel and test. Doesn't hurt to try. And glad you have the original.

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
No problem man. Surprised they didn't send you the extended for free. If anything you could have sold it for 55 dollars on ebay. ;)

My guess is that you won't need the original kernel, be sure to wipe cache/dalvik before you flash kernel and of course make nand before you flash. Then give it 3 days before you decide whether or not it will work.

Enjoy your day. Hopefully you are much dryer where you are than I.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kal*El:
Thanks again. Yea I'm sitting nice and warm.80-90deg here.

What's up guys? :-) I'm still loving 4.62 and still display my annoying signature banner proudly! It's hands-down the best, smoothest Froyo experience you can get on an EVO.

One tiny little thing...

I keep my GPS on constantly, so I don't want the icon on my top bar telling me it's on. I know this was added between 4.61 and 4.62, and it's the one thing I don't like.

Any way to get rid of it?

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I can check my computer for it. If not, I know someone else that has it. As for porting, I think the biggest issue was that the rosie was disconnected from the resources file between 4.4 and 4.5 so the rosie had to be flashed separately. I should have a couple white flashable rosies in my Mediafire folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:

What's the best kernel to use with this rom to have the best battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
People here will suggest netarchy 4.3.2 havs; either havs more or havs less depending on if your phone will like the more version. Also, most of us here would suggest avoiding net 4.3.4 kernels as they don't seem to provide good battery life and has suspect SBC performance as well.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to also say that most of us use SBC kernels.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Every phone is different and there is a lot of trial and error involved. I would recommend trying Netarchy 4.3.2. I use the cfs sbc havs-more one and I like it a lot. If havs-more doesn't agree with your phone, then try less or no havs. Either way, give the phone a couple days to acclimate itself. Netarchy's thread can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
+1 for coiled and +1 for jade, but -1 for the more version. For me it didn't work on my phone. However you should start with more and work towards less and nohavs. You will know it doesn't like your phone if you get random reboot, laggy behavior, etc.

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scriptinf was deprecated by Google in adroid 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockwork 3.0 Gingerbread recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Switch to Amon_RA recovery. Thread found here. Disregard the part about saying it's not updated in ROM Manager because it is. You can just flash the updated Amon_RA that way if you like, scroll to bottom and select flash alternative recovery.

I would suggest reading over that thread regardless of how you decide to put Amon_RA on your phone.

Also so you know, any clockwork nand's will not restore with Amon_RA and vice versa, so as soon as you switch to Amon_RA make a nand and you can delete all your clockwork nands if you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:

That's the linky to amon_RA recovery. Preferred for its flexibility for amend and edify scripting languages.

There are full instructions there. I recommend the PC36IMG.zip method unless you're familiar with flash_image. Pretty much, download the file, place in your SD card in the root directory (ie no folders), then boot into boot loader. It will ask you of you want to update, say yes by pressing vol up. Then say no when it asks you to reboot. Navigate to where it says recovery. You should now be running ra v2.3.3

:-)

Edit. I see Nick is up...Hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Or do like the error message says and stop supporting Ancient scripting languages. V4.6.2 over at the forums flashes just fine in CWM 3.x.

Really, Android 1.5 is how old now?

Note: Just a personal rant. Amon_RA recovery is cool, but shouldn't be used JUST to bypass deprecation. Request that your DEV get with the times and update their install scripts.
