battery time

I'm usually a lurking. Been that way since the HTC Touch came out for Sprint. I've been flashing since then too. Rarely do I ever comment, especially this type, because I think it floods the threads with useless information. But I must say, this ROM is pretty bad a$$. I've been running it for the last week, and have yet to have any noticable problems with it. And combined with Ultimate Juice, the battery life is the best I have ever seen, on any phone. Mad Props :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
Anyone ever try Itching Thumb? Its pretty neat, kinda like webos great multi tasking plus ability to easily kill apps. I only bring it up because of the talk of swipe pad the other day
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Im pretty sure everyone wants to know what your set up is to get that type of battery life wow thats good!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] HarveyStyles:
Ultimate Juice Setup

I should have mentioned in the previous post that I do have the Seidio 3500 battery. But, in fairness, even with it, i haven't seen this good of battery life since I bought it, and I have been flashing different Roms since then (and I bought it the day it came out).

As per your question, it is set on Default Setting. And I haven't done anything else to the system, to maximize performance.

Sorry about the confusion.

This has nothing to do with this forum but if you love cod black ops like i do lol watch this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URXmY5-kBqc

I have the wallpaper to go with it :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
yea there we i also just saw "evo zone red" its pretty sweet too
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Oh yeah, I like that wallpaper. Very nice choice!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sling:
Thanks.

Hopefully some one with skill will theme it up.

I installed Erics calk theme to get white status bar indactors & MikFroyo Remove-battery-percent to get norm battery icon.

Hey All,

I tried

netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-bfs-havs-sbc-universal-signed.zip

and

netarchy-toastmod-4.3-cfs-havs-more-nosbc-universal-signed.zip

the 1st one booted up fine to home screen then i did a battery pull it just hung at the white screen, had to do a restore... more-havs gave me screen tearing even on myns rom. so im thinking netarchy dont like running on my cell? any other suggestions? chime in please
[EVO 4G Android Development] sling:
Im running 'netarchy-toastmod-4.3-cfs-havs-LESS-nosbc-universal-signed.zip' with no issues.

Give it a try
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
Sort of. The problem is that unlike flashing a font, changing the font colors requires modifying some of the xmls in the framework files so unless it's built into the theme, it would overwrite whatever theme you're currently running. So unlike a fontpack, there's no way to make a one size fits all zip for that. I'll add a tutorial to my thread when I get a chance.

[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
opps forgot to mention that one too, well i ran that on myns rom and that was soo slow and sluggish. hate to try it on miks rom now and end up with same problem :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] sling:
na I think you will be alright on that one its mik friendly.

Major difference I'm noticing is better battery life device performance is a tad better then stock.

Not that there was anything wrong with device performance running stock I just needed extra juice 4.3 was the best call
[EVO 4G Android Development] bo0omer:
I am using 4.3.2 cfs havs more sbc and its running smooth

Just stay away from bfs on 4.3.2

You did uninstall setcpu first and clear cache and delvik cash right
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Edit quotes please

People, please do others a favor and if you are quoting a posting that had an embedded picture (case in point, the recent wallpaper examples), please in your reply, click on the "picture" in the quoted portion, it will highlight and just hit "del" button.

We don't really need to scroll past 3 or 4 screens of the same wallpaper to see your comment. I know this may not be as easy if you are using XDA or TapaTalk, and these apps don't show the inserted picture in all its living glory like when you view this forum on your PC/Laptop, but for those of us who do try and check everyone's comments, it would just save wear and tear on the 'ol scroll wheel on our mouses (mice?).

Thank you, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled postings (and undoubtly await the flames coming my way:eek:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wfee:
Yep way better battery life with this kernal. (nets 4.3.1

maybe i'll give another shot on this one, i was at 100% when i unplugged this morning now at 56% and i was only checking emails that came in and cpl txts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
was this for me? if it was i didnt have setcpu loaded and i did clear cache and delvik

[EVO 4G Android Development] ralg0528:
Quick question on bottom the change log for version 4.4 the op noted that if u want an app from the Removed_Apps folder u MUST push into the system/app/ folder. that the only way to do it or can i just used root explorer to install the apps? thank
[EVO 4G Android Development] bo0omer:
Ya. I have not had any screen tearing with net's kernels and miks roms. I did with Sprint lovers and it seemed to happen after I installed setcpu. I wish I knew what caused this.

You should try ziggy's latest beta roms. I tried both the cfs and bfs havs and they both run great.1400 quadrant scores with both.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
It is hit and miss when pasting...from my experience, pure "apps" mostly will transfer using cut and paste (Widgets not so much), but you MUST SET PERMISSIONS after you paste them into the /system/app directory.

That means "long press" the app you just pasted and scroll down the options "Set Permissions" to "644" which in the graphical display in Root Explorer means "User=RW", "Group=R" and "Others=R".

I personally have not had much experience doing it this way, I am mostly at home around my computer and find

adb remount"
followed by
adb pull /sdcard/Removed_Apps/"appfullname" . (the dot after the space following the app you want puts the pulled file in whatever MS-Dos directory you are in when you issue the adb command) and then push the file by:
adb push "appfullname" /system/app

and then:
adb reboot

is more foolproof for me at least.

Edit: the reason the Widgets don't like the "Copy in Root Explorer" seems to be the fact that they retain the "system" and "sdcard_r" Owner and Group properties when they are cut and pasted. (any real experts out there that can help us out on this??)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tolo3:
Thanks to chogardjr for the help signing that boot animation linked in my sig.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Since I forgot it the first time you get a free upgrade. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Good?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Which widget are you talking about? If its a system widget it has to be in the system/app folder.

Jk your exactly right, must change permissions then there should be no problem after a reboot.

From a supercharged Evo!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] diesel joe:
I have been running thiss setup for about a week. This is the best setup I have found. Thanks for the GREAT! work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
It was a general statement about the widgets that are in the Removed_Apps folder on the sd card, thats all. In general, any widget has problems with a copy and place method of putting it in the /system/app (the same folder I specified in my original reply I believe) even with the Permissions set correctly, and as I said it seems to be an issue with the Owner/Group settings that carry over when you paste it as opposed to the adb pull/push and they seem to work fine then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Yeah I was on tapa when I read it. Guess I didn't read everything, I edited it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Just what I was looking for! Nandroid backup in progress and I am going to "shoot the moon" with a Flash of Beta3,Netarch kernel and then your Blue theme and then your new clock! Gonna do all that over top of what I have, all at once with no wipe!! Living dangerously I know, but that is why I love the new RA v2.3 test4, it is so quick to backup and restore with!

Update! Holy crap! It worked!! I got a sense FC after coming out of the lockscreen, and had to do an a2sd repair to get my cachesd set, but everything else stuck and works great! Quadrant of 1381, and sd speed tweek survives reboots...Color me one happy camper!

Note: the links in my siggy point to my current setup!

Hey mik how do i get your mikfroyo bootanimation screen back?! I flashed a different boot screen and now i can figure out how to get urs back on?! Please help

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... sorry for being MIA... anyways... beta 4 should be later on... lots of tiny fixes... lots of extra opt.

details TBA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Wow, I get on here and everything goes silent.....

Any how, I am trying to think about what things to change to make the red theme up. I hear everything thats green turn red and some say small accents of red. I need more feedback to know what would be good. Also are we talking about Mik's original theme with the green to red...need some help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I'd like the notification pull down widgets background to be black and the widgets to be red.

And also, the rosie. Everything that is white (glossy reflection stuffs) to red? But keep the black for sure.

Maybe some red touches for when you hold the power button?

Loading spinner? That'd be cool even though we barely see it

Red outline for the android guy in the pulldown.

Red battery and other status indicators

Black and red themed messaging apps? (That might be asking too much ...)

Just some ideas. I would think that the general consensus would be to have red accents. To make it just subtle enough to be perfect

Hi,

Just flashed netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-sbc-havs-more-universal-signed.zip

anything to do to test this kernal besides looking at the screen LoL?

EDIT ok this kernal does NOT like my phone i rebooted and im stuck at the white EVO 4G SCREEN!!!! damn back to square one again!

Hmm....has been extremely quiet on here today. I have spent more time refreshing then I have trying to catch up on the posts for today.

But I did notice the thread was still on the top of the list. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] shizznizzle:
ive noticed after a few reboots 4g suddenly is always enabled whenever the phone powers on.

if i do a complete a complete wipe and reflash of 4.4 i get about 8 to 10 reboots before this happens. then every time my phone is turned on 4g's too. we dont have 4g here yet so i just turn it off.

any ideas? (i have been able to duplicate this everytime)
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
+1 i like the white shinnys too i guess just not to much red but no green lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
uncheck 4g under wireless settings happen to me before
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
++1 i would like some reds myself ;)

be nice if it was that simple
[EVO 4G Android Development] reggen's evo1980:
WOW

So after a move over to 4.4 from 4.3 and adding the sbc kernel I must say this rom kicks some serious tail. Check out my setup if anyone has any questions or ideas on how to make this better I am open to any and all ideas. Massive thanks to Chogardjr for the most awesome blue theme. Thanks to aamikam for making the best and fastest EVO rom ever I dare someone to do better!! Oh and thanks to tolo3 for making the funniest boot animation. I am about to do a full wipe and install and rock this setup until the wheels fall off. Someone call Sprint and tell them XDA does it better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tower1972:
I found that Root Explorer has some issues moving some of the removed apps while the built in Estrongs works alot better. Strange I know since I love root explorer but it worked
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
What Has worked for me is goto Wireless settings, uncheck 4g until it is off. Then check it on, as soon as it says "Scanning", uncheck it off quickly.

Reboot and then it seems to stick, at least for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
OMG My "Thanks Meter 1" is no longer at zero !! :eek:

Thank you very much to whoever pushed my button. ;)

(hope I deserved it) :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I can do all of this. You need to think about the battery being red. This usually means low battery.

When you say red touches for the reboot popup screen, are you talking about the icons?

The Spinner can be changed to red but you have to understand that if it is against a red background it could be invisible.

But I think I got the general idea.

Thanks for the details, any more is recommended.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
Hey all, I have a quick question. When I move the davlik cache to the cache partition I am seeing duplicate files in both data/davlik cache and in cache/dc. I am sure this is what I am supposed to see as I believe the a2sd command to move these actually links the two somehow? I just wanted to make sure this is normal. Forgive me if it has been answered but I tried a quick search to no avail on this specific question. I am new to this and just trying to get a handle on how it all works. Thanks in advance.

On another note after flashing the 4.5 beta and applying Rip's theme, then modding my Framework-res to get the vanilla lock mod for some reason on the clock widget I am getting "current location" instead of the current city name? Not sure what I did wrong here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
+1

This works just make sure to make a new widget.txt to exclude 4G from the notifications so you don't turn it on by accident.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shizznizzle:
it worked, crazy

thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Yes it has been answered many times, most eloquently by mitchellvii in this post which is also linked to in the OP!

Basically he says, as many of us have said before...If it works, if your a2sd check says your cache is running wherever you want it be (off sd or off of /cache) then don't sweat the duplicates, enjoy the performance, and whatever you do, don't go monkeying around with any of the cache or dalvik-cache directories!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] 53fireman:
1 issue I'm having with this ROM is in market. None of my apps are showing up under "my apps" unless I force close and clear data. Then they show up for a few hours, then aren't in there again. Not a reason to flash something else, just annoying. My messages sometimes give a "network not responding" issue and won't send, but I'm not sure if that's from my airave or what.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
LOL...love it
[EVO 4G Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
I did read that but when I run the a2sd check it doesn't tell me where it is running from. It gave me an error about having an external partition mounted but not formatted. I figured that was the case but wanted to make sure. Thanks for the clarification I appreciate it. Sorry if it was a redundant question.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
please help me reproduce the issue so i can make sure its fixed for the upcoming release.

feel free to pm me with how to get to where u got the error.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... besides the poll... which tells me that not so many people want spanish UI's i dont see any comments.

i explained it to u guys here before:

it is really important to me to make sure u guys get what u want... i know i cant please everyone though... so please... skip the poll... im gonna try to ask a moderator to take the poll out.

but please if after reading what exactly will taking Spanish out does as i explained above u still want Spanish post or pm me... other wise i will be skipping it... it doesn't take 5 min to do... it would take at least a day worth of work to make sure Spanish is also included... so please, again comment or pm me... i wanna see response for this, i dont wanna waste a day or two making sure just 1 person is happy... especially since its gonna take away my happy time with theming the ROM.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
That is strange...I have an 0002(launch day) as well and it works fine with most every kernel I have ever tried. Only problem I ever had was when switching to the new radios etc, I couldn't run HTC #17 anymore, but I think that happened to everyone. Currently on the latest SBC 4.2.2 more-havs. Must be phone specific for some reason. Sucks that everything just isn't the same for everyone with an Evo! Everything would be so much easier that way....obviously...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
I think there are more than a few of us that would definitely like an English only version, as you mentioned you would probably make for yourself. Count me in on that, even though I don't see this ROM getting much faster! I can't see a huge demand for Spanish only, but I guess you never know... either way, I know your work is very thorough and the next release will be even better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mich2Ga:
Rom hasn't given me any problems. Its holding steady with no dropoff. By listening to things You say, I have learned things. Before I would install apps like crazy & keep them. Now I use what I need. Another thingvi have seen with this Rom (4.0) is that the cpu is always running around 84 to 88 degrees. That is good. I haven't changed the stock speed either, don't have too. You've created a beast in quality I know that for sure.... Thanks.

Any ideas where you're taking this mod with the next update, mik? I'm curious as to what you could realistically improve from these builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
now that u mentioned it... this rom actually consumes on avg less cpu than what a cm rom does.

a cm rom consumes approx 18-20% of the CPU while this rom is only at 10%.

here are some quick image from using my rom: (thanks to tonwarr.the.incredible for those quick stats)

edit:

keep in mind that im not a big believer in stats... i like to see it and use it and not by into stats... thats why i never even look into things like that too much...

but, eng only version will only make those stats better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its taking longer cuz im removing a lot more crap... and also i wanna take this time to make sure everything is "kosher".

im always trying to clean everything as much as i can... this time i also took out useless values and such... which is again... editing the xmls.

so it takes longer.

im not sure how much u know me by now.. but im always trying make sure everything is perfect... so thats why it takes a long time... one tiny thing can piss me off to a point where i start over and work on that package again, until i get it right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
Yeah of course. I didn't mean to sound like I was rushing you or anything I was just curious to see what you felt could be improved or what direction you were trying to move towards. I am really happy with what you've given us so far, so by all means take your time to tinker to your heart's content.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
That is VERY impressive... great job on that Mik!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dude... im rushing myself... i wanna finish this and get started on themes...

im also gonna change the boot animation a little... before uploading the new version and i do things like that in photoshop frame by frame ... so thats a good few hours also.

i think it deserves a version number jump to v42. btw... just cuz it will be much different than 4.1

like i said before.. im starting to work towards making it more like i like and less like the stock rom while trying to keep the stock theme for all u stock loving guys.

edit:

i will also let the beta versions run a little longer than a few hours this time before i post a public version... if anyone wants to get a beta version just pm me... cuz im not gonna try and follow beta issues on the thread... pm's work better like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mich2Ga:
I use my phone regularly, I don't trip about battery usage & all that, cause I have chargers everywhere. I did however trip when I got 16 hours out of this Rom & the 4.21 SBC Kernel with somewhat heavy usuage. That's because you don't have to have the CPU running higher with this Rom. It doesn't use a lot of energy from the phone resources, aka CPU, RAM, etc. I noticed this, because it's in my hand a lot & it wasn't hot. Heat destroys stuff & slows it down. So that made me look into numbers. I installed warm 2.2 on other phone this morning to see, been back & forth just about all day with the two phones. This Rom stays 10+ degrees cooler than warm 2.2 after 15 mins of constant usuage. I text a lot, I mean a lot & when I text with this now, it's almost sent instant with a big thread of texts.

I would love to check out the betas but I'm probably not really a good candidate. I use my phone for fairly basic stuff. No Bluetooth or exchange syncing, etc. Just a few simple apps, phone calls, texts, and some web browsing.

You are perfect, because you are willing. Every phone reacts differently. Basic things are the most important!

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well... the people i would love to get pm's from are generally people who actually have issues with the current ROM.

thats the only way i can be sure that those issues got fixed and/or i still need to work on those issues.

i think when other dev's through beta version only for those who donate is kinda dumb... although i do agree with them doing it only for those who donate just to minimize the volume of responses that could follow up after they do so.

i dont care if u donated or not... if u had an issue... u should test if that issue is gone or not... i also go by the simple way of thinking that if someone had an issue before... they will probably have one again if there is one to be found.

i usually know what im doing... but im always learning new ways... so every time i learn something... i try it out... if it works... good, if not... revert.

but i gotta have some testers that cover somethings i cant find my self... cuz im really a very light user.
