[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
I am running Liberated FR008 with the HTC HK kernel (no over-clocking) and it is running smooth as butter, too. I will admit that I thought the original Liberated FR series based on the leaked Gratia ROM was laggy compared to 2.1, however FR008 is based on the shipping HTC Sense 2.2 for the Aria/Gratia and it is rock solid.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Is it really a different ROM basedfrom FR006 to FR008? I tried FR008 and it had the same sun widget bug than the leaked gratia ROM. However I did not tested deeper into that ROM so I can't tell if it isn't laggy as the FR006 series. Would you recomed it for me?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Personally I haven't noticed this 'sun' widget bug, so it must only be noticeable if you are looking for it specifically. Also when I flashed FR008, I was coming from CM 6.1.1, so I did the whole Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache before I flashed. If you flashed FR008 over FR006 and didn't do a full Wipe, that may have been the source of your sun widget findings. IMO if that was the first thing you saw in FR008 that made you stop, I think you may have been too quick in your decision.

I have found that FR008 and the HTC HK kernel run very well on the Aria and is probably the closest we will ever get to a true HTC Froyo release. If you like HTC Sense, then IMO FR008 is definitely worth taking another look at.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
After FR006 I went back to Liberated Eclair. So I was comming from it when I tested FR008. The sun widget bug shouldn't be there if it is a new ROM. But what could I know? I didn't build it. I'm going to give it a new try today and I'll let you know how it went, is that okay?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Sounds good. I bit the bullet when I decided to give FR008 a real consideration and so I did a full wipe and had to setup and reinstall all of my apps. In the end I think it was well worth it.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
I've been playing with FR008 all day. So far I've got a few random reboot on some widgets like contacts and friendstream. I don't understand why is that. Did that ever happen to you? You're right that it runs smooth but I do notice a little bit of lag there. The weather widget bug really annoys me though but it's not a dealbreaker.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
I don't use the friendstream widget and on the contacts widget I only display my 'Family' group, so there aren't a lot of contacts to display.

The only 'issue' that has occurred more than once is a few times when I wake up and unlock my phone the weather widget will FC, but I have never had the phone just reboot while using it.

I also went ahead and flashed the HTC Hong Kong kernel since that is the most recent one for the Aria.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Let me get thsi straight: You're using Liberated FR008 with the Hong Kong Kernel? Why not just installing the Hong Kong update? I read that it will update the kernel automatically. What's FC? I'm thinking it must be Force Closed? or maybe freezed
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
1. If you install the official HTC Hong Kong update on an Aria, you will loose root because it will update HBOOT to version 1.x and as of now there is no way to get root access back.

2. FC = Forced Closed. It is a little annoying, but it doesn't cause a lockup or force me to reboot the machine, so it is no big deal.

Liberated FR008 allows you to use either the custom kernel based on CM which provides some nice enhancements such as Overclocking, Trackball wake, ext4 enabled, etc or the latest official HTC Kernel that was extracted from the HK update. I started with the custom kernel but was curious about how the 'official' HTC Froyo solution would run on the Aria, so I flashed it and have been running it since the first of the year.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Does Froyo run better with the HK Kernel? What kernel would you recomend?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
The custom kernel that FR008 is deployed with offers the best options in terms of performance (over-clocking) and features (trackball wake, ext4 support, etc.) IMO.

I use my Aria for business, so phone, email, calendar, texting, maps/directions, and wifi tethering when I'm on the road. I don't play games or listen to music on it or typically have 4 or 5 apps opened at the same time, so I haven't really found a need to over-clock the thing. For the way I use the phone day to day, the HK kernel runs just fine.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Are there any cons for the custom Kernel? Sorry I asked too many questions but you seem to know a lot about this. BTW, I tried to give you "thanks" but I don't know how to do it. Can you teach me? You really deserve them
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Again simply based on my phone usage, I didn't run into any issues using the custom kernel with FR008. Since HTC hasn't published the Froyo 2.2 kernel for the Gratia/Aria, the code base for the custom kernel is adapted from the HTC Legend Froyo 2.2 kernel. That is my main reason for going with the HK kernel at this point; it is the most up to date kernel that HTC has released for the Aria.

As for the 'thanks' you just select the "Thanks" button at the bottom of a message

(right next to the "Quote" button).
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Done. Thank you for the info :)
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
I just installed the HK Kernel. Now I know what you meant when you said that Froyo runs buttery smooth on your phone. The new kernel makes the phone fly. It's amazing. Sucks that we don't have trackpad wake but whatever, I can live with it.
[HTC Aria General] jeebuz:
As for smoothness, I had the same results using the CM modified kernel (default kernel with FR008). However, some people have reported that the HK kernel provides better battery life and a more stable WiFi connection, but obviously sacrifices some features -- in you're case, trackpad wake.

When I use FR008, I usually use the HK kernel myself as well, but that is just because I don't really have a need for overclocking my phone.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Yeah I was kinda attached to the trackpad wake on CM 6.1.1, too. BTW, today was the first 'sunny' day we've had since you mentioned the weather widget bug and I now see what you are talking about. It is a bit annoying if you are looking for it, but it looks like its something that HTC did something in their Sense UI that is causing it. The fact that it was in the leaked Gratia ROM and wasn't fixed in the released Gratia ROM leads me to believe no one at HTC thought it was a big deal.

I wonder if it is a difference between MDPI and HDPI resolutions and if it happens on some of the other HTC MDPI phones like the Wildfire and Legend?
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
I just went back to the OC Kernel for a bit and it is laggier. So far the battery life is excelent, I agree. Yesterday I had my phone at 54% and used it a lot last night and it went do to 48%. That's even better than Liberated R012

Or maybe HTC didn't note it. Or it's porting issue with the Gratia ROM. Who knows? I don't think HTC wouldn't mind. They're a bit perfectinist with their software. I don't know what MDPI and HDPI means. But I don't think it happened before. I always thought they had a base sense ROM and they modified it a bit to install it on each phone but apparently they build every ROM from scratch

Hi,

I am looking for a tool to dissable Standby on a temorary basis.

For example... if I leave "GPS status" the device shuts down GPS and goes into standby.

I would like to dissable standby for some applications and turn the display of instead.

Maybe someone has a different idea but in OSM i can turn on logging and leave the application running in the background. GPS does not get dissabled if I turn on logging and it looks like it also runs in the background if I turn the device into standby.

Does someone have an idea how to manage that?

Last but not least.. I am looking for a good ENMEA-logger which also displays the signal strengh of each sattelite.

Thanks in advance!
[Vega General] matthijskox:
Hi all,

Great that there is a XDA vega forum too now! I love my vega, especially with pauls custom rom (r6) and performance pack but there is one thing still annoying me, the battery life in standby. I already removed telephonyprovider.apk and phone.apk and at first, this seemed to work (at least for one day). However, last night my battery plummeted from 70% to 20% in the morning (9 hours standby).... Because it does not always happen, i am guessing it is some app or something that i started before i put the vega in standby. Any ideas which process/app might be the culprit? I have push email enabled BTW.

Thanks!
[Vega General] adamgoon:
Hi matthijskox

If you have Spare Parts (i can't remember if this is installed by default or part of the Modaco Add-On pack), there is an option under Battery -> Partial Wake Usage to show which apps have been using batter whislt the Vega is in sleep mode. My experience is that the default mail app is a real battery hog, even when configured for manual mail retrieval. K-9 is much better, but i have not managed to get push mail working! The problem with push in general on the Vega is that wi-fi is disabled when the device sleeps, so your mail app will be trying to sync without a network connection. Twitter and Facebook apps will also try and retreive data in the background by default.

Hope this helps.
[Vega General] matthijskox:
This helps.... a bit. I set it (email app, for my exchange account) to check every 30 minutes and now i lost 15% in 8 hours. Is that kinda normal?? And would it make a big difference on battery life if i let it check every 5 minutes? This would be more convenient. BTW, does the gmail app also use push? I can't find it in the settings, maybe i can improve battery life even further when i disable push for gmail as well.

Thanks!
[Vega General] matthijskox:
No one else got similar battery problems? Maybe my battery is just broken. Anyway to test this?
[Vega General] zzleezz:
15% over 8 hours is just under 2% per hour, thats 50 hours standby.... Seems pretty reasonable to me! Cant test mine over that length of time as I am ALWAYS using my vega but when I leave it over night it seems to do similar things to that.
[Vega General] kalfou:
How many times does everyone actually turn off their vega totally? I do it every night or every day when I'm not using it... if you leave it on standby is there any damage that can happen, especially if u forget to charge it and the battery depletes fully
[Vega General] kalfou:
Hey I can't seem to remove the telephone and phwone apks, I have downloaded root explorer but everytime I try to delete both files they say its read only... does anyone know how I can get past this?

Thanks guys
[Vega General] dagrim1:
Make sure it's mounted as R/W (default is read only, R/O) by pressing the button on the top of root explorer if necessary.
[Vega General] kalfou:
Hey when i click it, it doesnt do anything, just stays the same, it doesnt switch to r/w
[Vega General] fresh87:
What about just putting it into airplane mode and still have wifi running, using SwitchPro Widget to activate wifi or something similar?
[Vega General] matthijskox:
Hurray, after a full wipe and reflash (when fully charged) it appears to be OK. Lost only 10% in one night while i lost 100% (!) the night before the flash.
[Vega General] matthijskox:
FYI: i found out that it was not the reflash that sorted the problem, but disbaling the SAMBA filesharing app while in standby. The SAMBA app is a server app anabling you to access your vega wirelessly via your windows PC (network share). It is great but you should not leave it running while on standby.....
[Vega General] matthijskox:
Oh no, cheered too soon again, it seemed fine after the reflash and disabling samba but now i lose 50% a night again! No-one else with similar problems? I also have the calendar synced and the widget on my homescreen, could this be the culprit?
[Vega General] orlok:
Im *think * im noticing erratic power loss. But havnt tested yet, so cant confirm.

When real life settles down ill have a test.

[Vega General] skyball2:
...well, I also tried that tip some days ago, but the only effect I could observe was, that "mobile-Standby entry" vanished from the battery statistics. It did not increase standby time for my device, however.

[Vega General] matthijskox:
Same for me, no effect unfortunately. I am still puzzled that some of us vega owners have this issue and some don't. Seems to me a software thing since i looped a divx and the vega ran for 7.5 hours, so the battery seems OK. It only seems to be draining in standby for some reason.....
[Vega General] peter a:
Last night after doing the phone.apk hack, I charged it to full I left it alone all night on standby to see what I was getting, 90% after 7 hours standby.

It think I may have stop a little too many tasks first because the alarm clock don`t work this morning .

What is the life of the battery just surfing the net?, I heard the “my battery is o.k because I played a movie file for 7.5 hours” , I`m getting about 4 hours of surfing the net , which may include a few u-tube clips.

Is this normal ? , To my 4 hours constant surfing isn`t bad to me for I don`t get that with my laptop or phone.

My mother has an El-cheapie ebay 10.2 tablet and you are lucky to get 2 hours from that.

[Vega General] ukdtweak:
Only battery problem I have seen is that I charge the Vega, boot up and run wifi, browse the web etc...

Then after a few hours, battery shows for example 65%... if I turn the Vega off and then back on again shortly afterwards, after booting up the battery shows 15%???

Looks like the battery % is not correctly showing the battery stats?
[Vega General] ausfester:
ive found that removing astro file manager and the samba plugin fixed my issue.

i had the Same problem, i would go out to work, come home and it would be flat.

Now ive been using it to take notes, skype calls and it hasnt been on charge for 8 hours and ive still got 77% left.

I can now take it to work, use it throughout the day, go home use it all night watching youtube and games and ill still have 20% by 10pm. 12 hours since its charge.

A full 8 hour day without using it now leaves me about 6% down than the morning.

Before it was requiring a charge when i got home before i could use it.

Wasnt happy but am now astonished by this thing. Using 1.09 with the clean update here on xda or modaco. Live wallpapers always enabled.

Hello folks

Target: make the battery last longer

Situation: task manager kills the processes i don't need (that is, every process apart from the widgets present on my 3-screen home, ADW launcher EX).

Problem: I always see processes (that i had already killed) i don't need....even if i kill them, they continue popping up in the task manager. I can tell you some among many: htc likes, market, shop savvy (don't even know why is it a process...i don't use that application...just sometimes but not everyday), maps.

What can i check to see if i can make the battery last longer? Are the background processes something that has to do with how long the battery will last? are the on screen widgets and the number of home screens (up to 7, normally) any influence on the battery drain?

thx

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootstonian:
I can think of 2 options quickly:

1. Don't let the kids use the phone

2. Buy them their own phone

I suppose an application could be created to do what you want. Or maybe something like adding a password to certain entires in you Contacts.

I'm actually finishing-up an app that functions as a SMS spam blocker; maybe my next app will be adding a password function to Contacts. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwxer:
Just checked android default sms app and sms content provider source code, it looks like it's not possible to intercept and cancel outgoing message. It's a pity that we're not able to add this functionality to our future parental control app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootstonian:
I'm not overly impressed with whomever coded the SMS and Contacts databases and have given considerable thought to writing my own. I found this out when writing my SpamText blocker which I kind of put on the back-burner due to fear of deleting ALL text messages from someone's phone. That whole "thread_id" is scary, at least to me.

I like the "conversations" feature of SMS, but it really should be broken-down by day or make any text in the conversation deleteable. I might get 10 texts from one person in a day, but just might want to save 4 of them because they have some valuable information.

Then there is a security issue with coding this type of application; Android gives the developer a lot of rope regarding messaging.

Nope, at least on my Droid X default SMS client. All distinct phone numbers and SMS messages are grouped together in a "conversation" no matter if that person texts 10 times in one day or 100 times over 6 months.

I know you can set a message limit, but I'm not sure what it does if you set it to 5 and get the 6th message from the same #; maybe someone else knows...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaranQ:
I have been searching for blocking outgoing test messages also but for a different reason.

I live near the border and allthough my phone is set to only my home network every now and than it switches to roaming and pretty often I send text messages by accident while roaming. Sometimes it switches networks while I am typing the message or it looses connection and I am at the mercy of which network it will connect and send the text message.

So an app that would block outgoing text messages while roaming (or maybe even only sending on home network) would come in very handy.
