I for one may never post mine. Not to be rude or anything. :) There are currently many roms to choose from. Most are well done.

For me it is just a learning experience. I managed to get the HTC Kitchen working. After figuring out a few quirks. My custom rom is JS3. I figure I could help out more if I understood the steps from beginning to end.

I could know I could just use someone else but there is no personal gain out of copying someone's else stuff if you can't do it yourself.

Thank you Mikey for thinking of others and taking the time especially for the individuals who want to learn.

Mike this is a great post, I really appreciate the info. This will help answer a question I've been pondering a while- can the default tab in the dialer be changed (say to "Call logs" or "Favorites")?

I'm guessing if I decompile the dialer APK I may be able to find such a setting in its XML.

If anyone already knows the answer to this feel free to let me know.
[Captivate General] jjtitus098:
This definitely shows how much work it takes to make a ROM. Too time consuming for me to try this anytime soon. I've only customized.a theme, a mashup of many different ones. I thank all the devs though for their hardwork.

[General Questions and Answers] Shift Text:
I've searched through the threads, but cant seem to find anything that covers the issue that I'm having, so I'm posting a new thread

I'm trying to use the Android-ui-utils Android Asset Studio with the Pencil GUI prototyping tool.

Everything is working great, and I think this tool will be very helpful. However, I'm having some trouble importing icons from the Asset Studio into the Pencil GUI program.

I've watched the video demo of the program, and cant figure out how they were able to bring the .PNG of the icon from the Asset studio into the Pencil GUI program.

Whenever I try to do so, it either A) wont let me, since its not in .zip format, or in .epc format. But, whenever I try to download the .zip of the icons from the Asset Studio and import it into the Pencil GUI, it says an error occured, and it wasnt able to import it.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get these icons into the Pencil GUI program? I'd really love to use this as a way to prototype the layout and look of my application.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Just recently got an Incredible. Using the HTC extended battery (2150 mAh) and I'm still only seeing ~14 hours of battery life. Also currently using CM7.

What is everyone else seeing?
[Droid Incredible General] jackbtha1:
I'm using the Redemtion Rom 2.2 with Incredikernel 12/21, and with the stock battery I can easily get over 20+ hours out of it. I'm also always on my phone. What kernel are you running? That might be your problem.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm using an 1800 battery and regularly kill my battery in half that time. I'm actually happy if I get 7 hours out of it. Since you have the 2150 battery pick up a wall charger for the stock battery and carry that on you too.

[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm with you on this. Although I send around 1000 texts a day use the phone probably an hour tops and use the internet a good bit. I call this average usage some call it insane so maybe some peoples average usage is barely talking it.
[Droid Incredible General] maxswisher:
Well,

I was on the stock 2.2 OTA and I was doing ok. it was better than 1.1.

However I've recently been running 2.3 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865331) and my battery life has improved a little bit.

[Droid Incredible General] cf9182:
With very light usage (listening to audible books via audible.com app for about 6-8hrs, 5-10mins of phone calls, limited internet) with the 2150 battery and Lou's #4 kernel I got 52hrs from charger to 14%. That is definitely not the norm, but I thought it was pretty cool =p.

Normal moderate to heavy usage I get 24ish hours from charger to 10-15%.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:

[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
Uh 1000 texts a day. Lets say you get 5 hours of sleep. That's 19 waking hours. Thats like one text message sent every minute for 19 hours. Not to mention received. i hope you're exaggerating hahah

I use mine kind of heavily with texting maybe a couple hundred total per day. 2-3 hours screen on total, maybe 15 minutes of talk time. I get 19 hours according to Battery Left. Running CM7
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm averaging. Quite honestly there are many times where I don't get a break to actually put my phone down for like an hour or so at a time. But I judge the thousand a day based on me resetting my handcent set counter and two weeks later iI was at just over 15000 sent.
[Droid Incredible General] Hellzya:

I was running CM6 with invisiblek #18 and getting over 18 hours on the stock battery with pretty consistent use
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Using SR 3.5 rom and chad's latest incredikernel.

With mostly having the screen off (no more than 45 min on) it lasted 48+ hours with 22% to spare - note that is not my normal usage, just a test.

Normal usage for me is:

Solid 5-6+ hours of screen on, and it'll last a good 23 hours (as of last night, long day lol) -- Most of the time after a full day I'll plug it in with 40%+ left.

Daily usage also includes

- 45mins of GPS usage

- 2-4 hours of Pandora streaming

- ~50 txts

- ~20 minutes of phone calls

- Youtube for ~45 mins

- E-mail / web ~ an hour

- 20 minute of games

I practically live on my phone but usually make it to the end of the day with 40+% left, depending on the day may be less- but I've never gotten the notification since the Kernel and ROM change.

Overclocking above the standard 998 will drain your battery pretty quickly, more than most other things you're doing. I noticed this and also noticed that overclocking didn't do much for me because 998 was smooth for every game I was playing.

Using HTC extended battery also and I do not bump charge, see:

[Droid Incredible General] Hellzya:
I just find that hard to believe. If i stream pandora for an hour with a full charge it will drain my battery down about 20% thats using lou's #8 kernel and his redemption 2.3 rom. Thats with a 3500 seidio battery after a wall charge not a plugged in charge.

Not doubting you one bit but damn thats alot of tasking on a stock extended battery too end the day with 40% left.

and are you bump charging it?
[Droid Incredible General] Hellzya:
Really im not too concerned with battery consumption as i have two 3500 and i always carry a spare. I use my phone ALOT. I have alot of free time throughout the day while at work. Im just curious how you guys are getting these hours out of stock batteries or even extended ones. Some of the numbers are just unreal.

sent from my Dinc
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
With screen turned off it's like a world of difference for me as far as battery consumption, if you have it on a lot I can see how it'd go down quicker than what most people here are reporting.

Also depending on your Kernel or what widgets you have updating all day long affects it pretty well.
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Due to using for work, always on call, internet, or using Navigation... It's on charger more than not.

Stock rom and battery... If I don't put in on the charger it drops to mid 30's from 8am to 12pm.

Not a casual user.... very heavy user.

I'm running Virtuous 3.2 with the stock Virtuous kernel for quite a few weeks now. At first everything was normal, phone with normal use would last all day. The past couple days however I have been burning through the battery in about 4 hours? I have played a couple more games but nothing crazy.
[Droid Incredible General] Hypcrsy:
I got some serious battery life (30 hours +/-) a few times using the 1750 battery from Seido on Redemptive Revolution.

But since I've been using Incredibly Re-engineered it's been pretty rough. I mean from the time I leave my house to the time I get to work (45 minute drive) I'm usually down to 75 or so. But that's playing either pandora or the music I have on my SD card.

I've kind of figured that the screen is probably what's kickin my ass so hard, I like to have it on nice and bright all the time.

Running a Droid Eris 1500 mAh and with moderate to heavy use I'm only seeing about 7-8 hours max. With constant use I can kill it in 2-3. Using stock kernel with Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.2 rom.
[Droid Incredible General] :
Using the stock 1300 battery. Running Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.20, with Lou's #7 and I am usually down to 30-40% after school. But today I was at 15% last hour of the day today. I take it off the charger at 7:00 ish and don't use my phone until 4th hour (first three teachers are phone nazis:eek:) and use it moderately 5th hour. The battery really isn't that great no matter what you do. At least on the stock one. I always put it on the charger right when I get home at 3:00.

So really I can only get about 4 hours out of it on a normal day. And on the weekends. I usually spread my battery out across my iPod for music and browsing over WiFi at home and school and it will easily make it through the day. My iPad can go about a week without charging :D.

[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
Was running Virtuous 3.2 for a couple of weeks and battery was normal but then it just plunged, I would be at 30% after 3 hours with my normal use (texting, wordfeud). I didn't know if it was maybe some apps I had or what so I pretty much wiped and started over using SkyRaider Athena with Lou's #9, and today after 3 hours of normal use I'm at 75% so its definitely an improvement.

The QuickOffice HD apk on this thread is like the paid version, has all the features included. The only reason this apk is here is because for whatever reason QuickOffice still have not released a paid for version of this tablet specific app.

Folks....

I have a question about the pin out of a USB cable. I have a cable that has a micro USB connector at one end (it plugs into my HTC EVO) and the other end is a standard USB connector.

This cable works just fine when I charge my HTC EVO. However, my computers can not see my htc evo. So I installed software from Sprint called "HTC Sync" version 3 something. Nothing.

So here is my question. Are USB cables that are sold as "Sync" cables have a different pin out than a USB cable that is used for power?

Maybe I need to change a setting in my phone to make it sync?

In settings, under Connect to PC, I have it set up as:

Default Connect Type = HTC Sync

Ask me is checked

I also tried:

Default Connect type = Disk drive

Ask me is checked

Can some of you give me some advice?

Thanks

I can't speak on usb pins but I do know that there are some shoddy low quality usb cables out there (the ones that come with epic 4g) and some good high quality ones (the ones that come with the palm pre). with the low quality ones I can't copy files to my card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
In general, unless it's sold as a power cable, it should have the normal connections. Some cables have the data lines cut and shorted together, which tells the phone it can draw more power than a normal USB port provides. These should only be used with chargers due to the risk of burning out a PC's USB port.

A good way to test is to plug it in, open Spare Parts and go to Battery Information, then see if it says it's charging on AC.
