When I flashed this last night, my phone seemed unusually hot. At first I thought it was the cpu usage to initiate the first run of the rom but the temp never decreased. Anyone else have this issue or did I install wrong? Had to flash back to fission for fear that my phone might explode by my head while I was sleeping :)
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
I believe that is the init race condition that he listed under the Known Bugs section, mine has been doing the same thing.
[Droid X Android Development] scottyd21:
I also have been having both of these issues. I really like the rom (quick and fast) but the battery is a major concern especially when I am using an extended. I too dropped 20% in less then an hour, was not on Wifi either. Just synced my gmail. Also I have posted a bug on the there website about I could not add my exchange account over Wifi. Once I turned Wifi off and was on 3G I was able to connect.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
The last tweet from CVPCS.
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
Yeah, I saw it early this morning. That is why I thought I would would inquire as when that fix would be released in the form of an updated version.
[Droid X Android Development] scottyd21:
Does anyone know why when you plug in a usb in the notification bar we get the USB Connection with the lock and the USB connected? Wouldn't the the one with the lock be the same with the options the same as the USB connected with the Android guy?
[Droid X Android Development] vdubbugman53:
I think as soon as the performance and battery drain is fixed I could drive this every day
[Droid X Android Development] scottyd21:
The phone is really getting hot with the charger plugged in.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Pure AOSP here right? Anyway to get single digit battery readouts with it since its built from source?
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
I hope koush can update his bootstrapper so we can easily switch back and forth to test obsidian while it's in its early beta stages without wifi/camera etc.

I am really excited about this rom.
[Droid X Android Development] cvpcs:
the heat issue is a result of the battery/performance race condition bugs. your phone is heating up because moto's init is continuously using 98% of the power.

i was going to hold off on this fix for a day or two, but since D-L has posted an article i suppose it wouldn't hurt to get this "more stable" ;)

**runs off to finish packaging and upload the fix**
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
Thank you thank you thank you. I love this rom and the only thing that I absolutely can't live with is the poor battery life. The rest I intend to deal with until fixes are released.
[Droid X Android Development] anrichardson:
been unplugged for 2 hours and already at 60%, i hope battery update comes soon. Please? I'd like to stay on and help with bugs, etc.
[Droid X Android Development] imronburgundy:
Cool, thanks for the responses. I'm excited to try the 2.0.1 when it is available for download!
[Droid X Android Development] cvpcs:
2.0.1 is being rebuilt at the moment. adding support for koush's bootstrap recovery. basically, you will still not want to use the bootstrap recovery app while inside obsidian, but i am moving all obsidian-specific stuff off of the preinstall partition so that you can properly nandroid in/out of obsidian using koush's recovery (i.e. obsidian will now use the exact same recovery that koush's bootstrapper uses, only it will be more intimately integrated into the rom)
[Droid X Android Development] strikeir13:
Just to clarify for myself and for other who will also be wondering, this means the following:

1. To boot into recovery FROM Obsidian, hold down the power button and go through that menu.

2. You can flash a non-Obsidian nandroid backup FROM the recovery accessed by Obsidian (i.e. you are rebooting into recovery from a functioning Obsidian system), but then will have to use the BOOTSTRAP to access recovery.

Are the following things CHANGED because of the recent update to the bootstrap compatibility??

3. Given 2., you will NOT be able to flash an Obsidian nandroid from recovery unless you REFLASH the Obsidian .zip BEFORE then flashing your Obsidian nandroid of choice.

4. IF you ACCIDENTALLY BOOTSTRAP the recovery while IN Obsidian, you will have to reflash the Obsidian .zip (from recovery, obviously) in order to get the recovery files in the right places? And if you do BOOTSTRAP the recovery while in Obsidian, rebooting into recovery FROM the Obsidian power menu won't work, will it?

Hopefully cvpcs or another knowledgeable person can confirm or deny what I have written above so that I can re-edit this if need be and prevent misinformation from circulating. Thanks!

Edit: see post #49! Thank you cvpcs!
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
EDIT AGAIN: See post #49 :)
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
I think my phone does everything backwards. I installed obsidian and created a nandroid backup played around with it for a while. However when I went to restore tranquility nandroid I had I get a boot loop the only way I can get it to boot is if I wipe data/cache. From here it will reboot fine until I start to install any app of any kind. Once I install an app i get a boot loop every time I reboot my phone. But from koushs bootstrap recovery I can successfully re-flash the Obsidian Rom I previously restored. I don't know...maybe ill just SBF and completely start from scratch.
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
You should wipe data and cache before you install a nandroid. At least that's how I did it with no issues. It could be an unnecessary step I am not sure.
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
Ok. I just tried wiping data/cache before restoring a nandroid but it comes to no avail. I get the same result.
[Droid X Android Development] cvpcs:
Alright the 2.0.1 fixes are complete (battery/nandroid). So what does this mean?

Battery fix: The battery should no longer drain like a beast, and performance should be better, also, heat will be reduced. NOTE: you CANNOT run koush's bootstrap app. If you installed it from market be sure to uninstall it when it syncs back up. The reason is that koush's bootstrap app auto-bootstraps on boot and will cause moto's init to wake up again, eating your battery. The solution is to ensure the bootstrap app is uninstalled and reboot.

Nandroid fix: I am no longer providing a customized recovery for obsidian. Instead, I have pulled the recovery out of koush's bootstrap and included that one. So what does this mean? here are the new processes:

To get recovery from within obsidian: Use the Reboot->Recovery method as previously used.

To restore a nandroid of another rom from within obsidian's recovery:

1.) select the nandroid and restore

To restore an obsidian 2.0.1 or later nandroid from within either obsidian's or koush's bootstrap recovery:

1.) select the nandroid and restore

To restore an obsidian 2.0.0 nandroid from within either obsidian's or koush's bootstrap recovery:

1.) wipe data/cache

2.) install obsidian 2.0.1 update.zip

3.) install gapps update.zip (if applicable)

4.) restore DATA partition from 2.0.0 nandroid

The main change is that now obsidian's core boot is done from the /system partition instead of /preinstall, so the preinstall nandroid backup is no longer needed to restore it. This promotes better integrity of the recovery system.

Any other questions?

P.S. This update is currently being optimized and should be online in an hour or two. Watch wiki.ccroms.net or twitter (@cvpcs) for an exact post on when it is online.
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
It's bound to be asked...can we install 2.0.1 over 2.0.0 without wiping data?
[Droid X Android Development] anrichardson:
this is sweet, i keep refreshing the download page, can't wait.
[Droid X Android Development] SysAdmin-X:
To run obsidian do you need to be on 2.3.34? I'm still running 2.3.15 because I like having the full sbf for when I screw something up (almost daily...)

Thanks in advance
[Droid X Android Development] cvpcs:
No substantial changes were made to the cacheable system so you do NOT need to wipe data/cache if coming from obsidian 2.0.0.

As for if you need to be on 2.3.340, I am not certain but I don't believe so. Obsidian uses the proprietaries from 2.3.340.
[Droid X Android Development] anrichardson:
There is 2.3.320 Fulls SBF with a 2.3.340 system only sbf. both are compatible. So if you are on 3.3.340 you can use the 2.3.320 sbf and then update to 2.3.340 system only sbf.
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
Even if you have to wipe data can't you just do an advanced restore of data from the obsidian2.0 nandroid?

To restore an obsidian 2.0.0 nandroid from within either obsidian's or koush's bootstrap recovery:

1.) wipe data/cache

2.) install obsidian 2.0.1 update.zip

3.) install gapps update.zip (if applicable)

4.) restore DATA partition from 2.0.0 nandroid

Edit: Previously posted you do not need to wipe.
[Droid X Android Development] anrichardson:
yes you can install over without wiping
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
I am on .320 and it is working fine...
[Droid X Android Development] SysAdmin-X:
Has anyone tried this that is on 2.3.15? I just dont want to uodate to anything higher right now
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Exciting stuff going on here
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
I don't see a dl link?
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
cvpcs is uploading it right now. Except a link in a few minutes.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
Ah! Thanks!!!!
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
cvpcs

uploading the new obsidian 2.0.1!

7 min ago on twitter. be patient my friend.

edit: damn :(
[Droid X Android Development] jme2712:
Must have a slow U/L stream.... Thats fine as long as it is an awesome ROM
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
Why doesnt my twitter ever refresh? Even when I click refresh....oh well
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:

[Droid X Android Development] jme2712:
how in the world do i get android market on my phone when running this ROM?
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
you get all the google apps from the gapps update.zip on the download page .

2.0.1 is so much faster for me, and i can tell already my phone is running cooler.

thanks for the update! awesome job.
[Droid X Android Development] imronburgundy:
Nice got it installed. Definitely not running hot like last version. Camera does freeze but oh well. Great rom so far.
[Droid X Android Development] trillonometry:
Looking forward to flashing. What's the best forum for discussion on this rom?
[Droid X Android Development] btucker2003:
Any other feedback on this ROM?
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
The Camera / Camcorder bugs dont really bother me, but the no video and no GPS is keeping me away... fix the GPS / Video and ill be all over it
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
here works
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Holy speed Batman! No lag on unlock too! Boots very fast and everything seems to run quite smooth.

I need to get corporate sync to work for this to be my daily as it's my work phone. When I have more time I'll play with this rom more. Very very promising.

EDIT: 2.01 seemed to crush my battery. Went from 60% to 20% in an hour, and I have the extended battery. Is there something I can do to capture log files and submit?
[Droid X Android Development] scottyd21:
I would have to agree. Great, fast rom, but my battery was draining quickly and still getting hot. I will have to wait for the finished product until I can load this again. Great work though

thanks
[Droid X Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
This rom Sounds very promising But all the known issues stated in forum, I cannot Fatham to deal with them right now. My camera is Very important, Gps is Necessary. I'll wait until those crucial issues are resolved.
[Droid X Android Development] vdubbugman53:
Battery life is still not good by any means. Better. But not great
[Droid X Android Development] cvpcs:
Those of you experiencing battery issues, do you have koush's bootstrap installing from market when you sync apps? If so be sure to uninstall it and reboot. Koush's bootstrap restarts ADB on boot (something that obsidian doesn't like at all) and the new adb wakes up the old moto init and causes battery issues.

If this is not the case for you, then please use adb to send me a process list so that I may see what exactly is waking up the moto init. To do this you must have the SDK installed so taht you have adb, then in a terminal type "adb shell ps". Post the output either here or in bugs.ccroms.net.
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
Fantastic update! Battery life, while still not quite as good as stock, is much improved. The previous heat problem solved as well.

Great work!

Once you do a couple of reboots you'll really notice the speed and responsiveness of the ROM. This is without a doubt the most responsive ROM out there.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
CVPS - More information for you:

I've been sideloading bootstrap since it came out - downloaded it from Koush's website and never looked back.

I'm going to flash again now and will post the process list within the hour.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
gonna put these into bugzilla as soon as I get my confirmation email and can log in. Here are my current observations:

Install procedure (coming from Rubix 1.9.5)

1) Wipe Data/factory reset

2) Wipe Data/factory reset

3) Wipe Data/factory reset (yes I did this 3 times - Jolly has mentioned that it doesn't always seem to get everything in the first pass).

4) Install zip from SD card

5) choose zip from SD card

6) find and install Obsidian 2.0.1

7) reboot recovery

8) install Obsidian gapps

few things I noticed

First and foremost: This is still BY FAR the most fluid ROM I've seen. IT always smoothly scrolls between homescreens while all other ROMs seem to have lag. Installation of Apps is amazingly fast too. Speed of other ROMs seems to decrease over time, I"m curious how this ROM holds up over the next few days. (GPS, Camera and Video Camera are not requirements for me).

1) WiFi works great and I've seen no negative effects (other than visual) BUT the WiFi signal strength meter doesn't change with strength of the signal. I've walked around my entire house including within 5 feet of the router and nothing changes - it always shows just 1 bar.

2) Plugging in USB only works if you plug in and then reboot the phone. I've tried multiple times, but I can't seem to get USB to work without a reboot. The phone MUST be plugged into the PC at the time of reboot for it to be recognized.

After I reboot WITH THE CABLE CONNECTED USB is then connected but :

The "USB Connection" option is not available so I can't change between charge only and USB Mass storage, Etc.

The "Turn off USB storage" option is available, but when I click to turn it off it goes off for about 3-4 seconds and then automatically turns back on, I'm sure this is related to the fact that i can't change the connection from USB Mass storage.

I can then unplug USB and then plug it in again and all options are available and it works as expected and continues to work as expected when connecting or disconnecting.

3) adb remount fails:

remount failed: unknown error: 0

4) Exchange sync does not work. I took Email.apk from GummyJAR2.1 and it now works including calendar, contacts, and email.

5) Battery drain. After getting everything set up and letting the phone settle down I did "adb shell ps" and the output is attached as ezun_ps.txt
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
My phone was still a little warm this morning as well. I attached a text file with my process list, though I can copy it into a post if necessary.

I am not having any issues with USB storage attachments, with USB debugging on or off. Exchange sync has worked fine for me so far with no modification. Battery drain seems to be down to about 10% per 1-1.5 hours instead of 20%

Also, since running Obsidian at no point have I downloaded and installed Koush's bootstrap application.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Well now, that's a fantastic idea - editing my post!
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
blkblt412 - what version of exchange are you connecting to? We're on Exchange 2010.
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
We are using Exchange 2010 as well, have been for the last year in fact. It is still the RTM version but I believe with RU 3.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
I'm tempted to reflash just to see if it was 1 time thing that it didn't work for me.

I'll run my current install for the day to see what happens with the battery, then reflash to see if I can get exchange sync to work.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
ok, so this time around my battery is holding up quite well. Since my original post I'm now showing 70%.
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
Did you make any changes, reflash Obsidian, etc?
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Last night I flashed back to Rubix 1.9.5 because I couldn't get Exchange sync working and Obsidian was burning through my battery at 40% per hour.

Woke up today, flashed Obsidian, flashed Obsidian gapps, did all my setup. That's the only difference.

The PS file I posted was from today - so that's immediately after my flash and setup. Interestingly my PS files show that /init has 2 PIDs
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
Ah ok, my battery seems to be holding at around 60% right now.
[Droid X Android Development] murryrulz:
Is there anyway to overclock on this rom? I've tried to install jrummy's app and the market says "there is not enough space to install this item" and when I use the milestone overclock app it appears that the initial process hangs because I get 100% CPU usage.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
I think you will be surprised how good the gps that is enables is working...

Said to be within 20 meters... that can easily work for navigation if that's your worry?
[Droid X Android Development] :
I had JRummys app installed via Titanium and had I it set at boot MV 1.2GHz. No problems.
[Droid X Android Development] murryrulz:
Yea i had it installed using titanium but when i relized i had an older version and couldnt install with the market i wiped my phone. For some reason i lost my backup for jrummy's app and now i cant install from the market. Any idea why its the only app that says i dont have enough space when i try to install?
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Mine is now down to 50%. Just realized GPS is turned on by default, so turned that off.

Also noticed I can't do the swype beta install. FCs on me.

EDIT: Looks like the English/Spanish version FCs, but the full version (10MB) installs fine.... SWEET!!!
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
As a test I left my phone off the charger last night. Fell asleep around 12:30am with the battery at 70%. The phone was already dead when I woke up at 8am. Keep in mind I have the extended battery. Gonna have to flash back to Fission unfortunately.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
So... anyone have a clue as to how long we will get a hack to use the 3G hotspot feature?

We wouldn't be able to just flash the zip fix that works in tranq could we?
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Time to go back on the charger.

Extended battery lasted 5:30am-2pm = 8.5 hrs and I'm now at 30%

Light usage

BUT in signal area with less than 1 bar the entire time which is VERY hard on battery.
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
Just put mine on the charger as well after 10.5 hours of very light usage. I had 15% left on my extended battery.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Ok - some bad news. after having my phone on the charger for 1.5 hours, I've seen a REDUCTION in remaining power from 30% to 20%.

I'm not connected to the wall - I'm connected to my PC, but I'm still using power faster than I'm supplying it

EDIT: and DAMNIT if I didn't forget to do a PS before loading another ROM. Well, tomorrow is another day for Obsidian to bless my phone - tonight it needs to charge.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
A PS???? Can you clarify?
[Droid X Android Development] blkblt412:
I noticed the same thing here, trying to charge the phone is pointless unless using a wall charger.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Yes, sorry. This is from cvpcs's previous post where he asked people having battery issues to run the following command while the device is connected to your pc in debug mode: adb shell ps. It results in a list of your currently running processes.

He wanted to see if /init was still running.
[Droid X Android Development] dakoop:
Sounds a bit frightening to flash at this point

I let my fingers do the talking
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Still a Beta as the OP says.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
Thanks for clarifying.

Also, people don't be scared to flash this rom. You have just as much of a chance at fudging things up with other roms as you would, maybe even more so, that this one.

Do it and if you are like me who seems to not have that bad of a problem with battery you will enjoy it VERY MUCH!
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
You are correct, This has been in the works for months now, and it finally hit a point that it was stable enough for release. it is very much still a WIP, not a final build. With each release more stability and fixes will come :-)
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
I just SBF 'd last night so I am on. 340 clean. maybe I should try obsidian again straight from 2.0.1 without 2.0.0 first. perhaps that will fix things for me.
[Droid X Android Development] gpaulu:
This is by far the smoothest rom i have used on my x. It is smoooooooth! The lock screen doesn't stutter at all. I love how the music controls on the lock screen control pandora.

Facebook contact sync (using the facebook app) does not appear to work.

I will be headed back to ApeX for the time being or perhaps try GummyJAR, but as soon as GPS, Camera, and Video are working, Obsidian will be my ROM of choice. I'll donate a little bit to your beer fund if you have one.
[Droid X Android Development] Funnyface19:
i cant wait for the camera fix. most likely will end up being my choice after the very few fixes needed. coming from the Eris i love love love AOSP roms great job devs
[Droid X Android Development] imronburgundy:
Happy new years go obsidian!
[Droid X Android Development] amathophobia:
Is this rom using the moto or aosp kernel?

Sent from my Droid X running Rubix rom.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Moto kernel.
[Droid X Android Development] jwilson77:
I really, really like this rom, its crazy smooth and fast, but my battery still only lasts a half of a day (on 2.0.1). Look forward to the further development of this rom. Thanks to the team for all their work.
[Droid X Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
A compelling Work in Progress. With camera, video and GPS working it will be a Masterpiece!

Does battery drain seem worse when you OC? I've tried it with and without OC and can't notice much difference.

Back to GummyJar but will keep testing the new Obsidian releases.
[Droid X Android Development] amasse:
testing obsidian immediately after SBF it seems like the battery life is better than it was. Still at 100% after over an hour. I will continue normal use today and see where that gets me.

also side note I noticed that on both this and Ultimate Droid, market sync and Google sync take forever. The phone is pretty much unusable while this is taking place, but then fast and smooth afterwards. Downloads from market are very slow also. is there a reason for this?

Lastly, where can I find the irc channel for this rom? thanks.
[Droid X Android Development] DroidFamily:
I'm having issues with downloading apps. It says memory full. Can anyone help
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
is the battery indicator done in single digits now that this is a true AOSP rom?
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
Indicator is not single digit increments.

Anyone know how to get P3's hot spot app to work on this?

Thanks.
