[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I don't know the difference of the two radios, but way back when I switched from 6.35.10.18 to 6.35.16.19 I got a very pour 3G signal. Like from full signal with 6.35.10.18 to one pin with 6.35.16.19, so I'm back on 6.35.10.18. BTW I can see the 3G antenna from here, so something could be wrong with the new radio.

Could might help to go back to old radio to get rid of drain do to 3G if it's a signal issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I wonder if some of these types of issues/differences in performance, signal strength, etc. could be a result of the different networks we're on. So, for example, if your carrier has configured their network differently than mine, maybe that can have an impact. This is a subject I know nothing about.

I'm in Canada on the Rogers network and it seemed to me that 6.35.16.19 works better where I am than 6.35.10.18 or 3.22.xx., but others have said that 3.22 works better where they live in Europe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] raindrop2012:
the system keep restarting and not stable

How can I fix that ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Yeah I read through the thread, sorry if my post sounded negative, I love your ROM.

I'll definitely look into the running apps. The battery stats was telling me that cell standby is what ate up most of the battery.

I was running rooted stock 2.1+Sense UI and low 3G in my basement didn't kill my battery like this.

Again thanks for your work, great ROM.

I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the battery drain and the random reboot I get when cold booting my phone (the phone will load OS get to the lockscreen then reboot, hence why I was thinking of reflashing the ROM).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
We'd need more info to help. Are you using the right radio, hboot and recovery for starters?

Did you wipe from the rom you came from?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I didn't take it that way. I just thought you should check out to see if something is causing excessive battery drain is all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
I didn't get the random reboot on a cold boot after recalibrating the battery and now the battery is holding up great.

If I get the random reboot on cold boot I'll reflash the ROM.

* Left green charge led activated on 90%.

* Fixed: Charge low % Bug?.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Giant_Rider,

You put up a great ROM! I'm impressed and if you manage to port Cronos Ginger 1.5.0 soon that would be sweet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'll check out Cronos 1.5.0 tonight maybe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
Thanks . :D:D:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Just for kicks I decided to try launcherpro on the v2, and it didn't work - acore fc's. Can anyone confirm?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I have LauncherPro working just fine on v2, so it's something local on your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
In 10 min I will add links to the 1st and 2nd post for GBRider_Cronos_v1.5.0.

I changed my versioning to match the numbering convention that Feeyo uses in the original Hero Cronos rom. If I need to make any additional updates on our end, I'll use the 3rd digit (so 1.5.1, 1.5.2, etc.)

If coming from a different rom flash as follows:

1. Wipe all (battery and compass/accelerometer is not necessary)

If coming from a previous version of GBRider Cronos flash as follows:

1. Wipe dalvik only

2. Flash ROM

3. reboot

4. Flash Hot Fix (If any)

5. reboot

6. flash kernel (If any updates - the default for GBRider Cronos 1.5.0 is carz's 576 MHz. If you want to use his oc 614 MHz kernel, you will have to flash his update.zip. I have included the link in the 1st and 2nd posts.)

7. reboot

8. Flash GAPPS

9. Reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
PS This is the best release of this rom yet and is worth flashing IMHO :p Feeyo's rom ported and carz's 614 MHz kernel are a great combo.

I found this optimized version of Angry Birds that plays really smoothly on our phones:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
I just flashed. First impression is good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jsjj88:
the version of angry birds is amazingly fast! all other versions are virtually unplayable due to the lag.. Installed the new update too, everything has been great so far. thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johmir:
This rom 1.5.0 is really smooth and fast with the 614 kernel great job.

I miss the incall UI any way to get it back

Thankyou to all DEV's

Round Battery

Could someone make round battery indicator? It would be nice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:
HI

Giant rider : I found why my battery drains so fast .this occurs when in put theme Chooser when i put regular, everything works very well.

your rom is very good i flash the new version tonight question i need to flash my gapp or it ok
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Tks Giant.

Great to see the new update. Wil try it soon.

Just for my phone, change to ADW EX and it seems better than LauncherPro (less lag than)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zelu:
installing on magic my sister ;) good job :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll start adding ADW to the /user/data folder as a default as well as LauncherPro. Then people can delete whichever they don't want in case they want to save on memory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Anyone else not have bluetooth working on 1.2? When I try to enable it it thinks about it for a little while and then just decides it doesn't want to turn on.

I did a wipe data/factory reset and then a Dalvik-cache and reinstalled to see if that fixed it but no different.

I am downloading 1.5 now and hopefully it works fine with that.

Let me know if I am missing anything.

Also what do we set the install location to? Automatic?

How can I tell if the app installed on the phone or on the ext of the sd, and how do I move it from one to the other?

Thanks for any help and thanks to the Dev's for all of the hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I miss the incall UI too. There is a way to get it back. I'm not good at updating .apk's and the re-signing them. Others have asked the original rom dev to add it back in, so let's give it some time and see if it's in the next release :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Try wiping battery stats from recovery.

Then check out if any apps, widgets or settings (gps, wifi, 3G, sync, data, etc.) are causing the drain.

I posted instructions on flashing a couple pages back. You will need to flash gapps. If you're coming from an earlier GBRider Cronos version, wip dalvik only, flash rom, you can try flashing gapps at that point, and reboot. If you have problems with gapps, then start over and this time flash the rom and then reboot one time before flashing gapps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Is there a way to change this in CM Extras or did I read somewhere about a market app for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If you still have issues with BT later today let me know. I will post an update for you later that may help. I don't know if anyone else is having issues.

I think Automatic defaults to the sd card. I'm not sure. Never checked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
hello gbrider!

Is there any chance that there is a rtl(right to left support) on this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Hey giant_rider,

Thanks for the quick reply. This is what my logcat says when I try and turn it on.

I see it says Beautiful Widgets so I thought I would try uninstalling that to see if it makes a difference and it doesn't

Any idea's jut let me know.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djduxx:
I noticed something interesting: the "Lock/unlock animation" worked for me for a day and then broke. With it I lost 48% in about 12 hours. Without it my phone "sucks" 15%/half of day and i'm running "full eye candy",OC 122/614,30 mins of calls/day, no data, 15 mins wifi.

So LA might be one reason for battery drain.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johmir:
Thanks G_R I also noticed 2 issue when I use the power control widget the toggle between 2G and 3G does not work and the battery drain on cell standby and phone idle is higher than version 2.

Thaks once again for your work and support

USB Tether

Hello. This is a great update! It's much smoother than the previous version and I'm not getting random slowdowns and reboots any more. Thank you!

Only one problem though - USB Tether doesn't seem to be working :(. The phone says that it's tethered when I switch it on but my Windows 7 laptop doesn't recognize it. Nothing happens at all. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Can anyone comment? I'm on Linux. Maybe this is a Windows thing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I just tried USB Tether on your previous version of the ROM (no 1.5.0) on Win7 Professional and did not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
App2SD is ON by default or i must use some script?

Ext 4 work?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
On 1.5.0 already.

Enabling compcache in CM Extra settings has no effect.

Swapper 2 doesn't work anymore, either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nO_LimiT:
Hi.

Dunno if it's anyhow related, but i was using a froyo rom where the trackball keept and idle process that killed the battery in about 14h, and if it wasn't used, it would last for almost 2 days. The solution was to wipe battery stats and not use it after. So, and suming up, try to see what app you may have that it's killing it... Also, i have an app killer that shuts down everything when my phone is idle, and it may make a difference. When you figure out what's eating your battery, handle it and do a battery stats wipe. Then try again to see if anything changes. I'm no expert, but it has worked for me. :) I have the rom running with full features, 3G always on and sometimes wifi, newest radio and one charge lasts for almost 40h, and the second night it's to charge again :)

Btw, the ROM is awesome. Although it's a bit laggy, i just love it.

And to those who keep trying to run games (angry birds) and can't, be sure to have them in the internal memory instead of the SD card. HTC IME mod also.

Giant Rider, any way to make the screen on/off animation run faster? That would be one of the last touches to the perfect rom ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
USB tether was not working in the previous release. It is now working in 1.5.0 on the Hero. Feeyo fixed it. I think carz has enabled tethering in his kernel, but I am not sure. If he has then I think we should be able to get it working in 1.5.0.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Hey nO_LimiT,

This is definitely not a criticism and I am not being defensive, but how is the rom laggy? For me with carz's 614 MHz kernel (link in the 1st post), it's running super smooth and fast.

There are other issues with the rom, but lagginess? Do you have a ton of apps loaded are did you install a different launcher?

Just curious.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:
Not working here windows 7
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snailmale:
Actually, I have to agree with him a little. With v1 I felt the phone was faster and smoother than carz's rom. But I tried v1.5.0 (576 kernel) and found that while it is faster at times, it also lags more sometimes. That's why I reverted to diet Ginger, it gives me a smoother experience.

However, I feel both roms are really neck and neck with each release, carz with his smoothness and stability, yours with its speed and extra functions (like cm extra). So each time a new version is released from either side, I always test i t out to see if I want to switch over.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I have tried both Carz's and Giant_Rider's ROMs and to me they feel equally fast and smooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Did you try v1.5.0 with carz's 614 MHZ kernel?

I like hearing the comparative details, but I am definitely in no competition with anyone, LOL (not saying you were implying that). Feeyo optimized Cronos. Cronos runs best on our phones with carz's 614 MHz. I have no idea if carz's is faster or smoother, but I am psyched at how sweet Cronos is with carz's 614.

My phone is flying with the Feeyo / carz combo :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Sleeepy2, try flashing the following update:

http://www.multiupload.com/9WL8NIMZNG

Let me know if it fixes your BT if it's not already working on v1.5.0. My BT does not turn off automatically. I can't fully test BT though because I don't have any BT devices other than my phone in my home.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bengongboy:

but no problem with carz12 diet rom tho..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
USB Tehter

I have Win 7 too and have no problem with USB tether. I use PDANet and usb tether works like a charm. Try it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bengongboy:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
I don't checked it. I always use PDANet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] etibon:
I haven't tried Compcache, but Swapper 2 works fine (with 1.5.0). I'm using it and the rom is much smoother with less reloads.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Yeah that was my experience with earlier versions - I didn't use compache, but using some swap gave less reloads. On the new version though enabling swap with swapper2 doesn't work for me, it just hangs on 'please wait'. Oh well, I'll try with a custom swapon script and see if that works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:

Hi giant_rider,

Tried your BT patch and still no go :(

When I try to turn it on it just says Turning on... for a few seconds and then goes back to the Turn on Bluetooth message. Not sure what is up with my phone.

Log cat

I think I will actually try Superwipe and see if that fixes any thing :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
BT works for me.

I did exactly what Giant said to update to V.150.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
And BT works.

Sorry for all the issues all, looks like it was my phone.

I noticed I had S-ON, a little playing around to get S-OFF but I got it.

Now BT works. Not sure how S-ON affected the BT but it did.

thanks for all of the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It's possible, but it would be much better for me if some themer or experience with modifying .apk's for themes would make the update to the systemui.apk in this rom.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
WOW...that's so cool! What's 2.3.3 bringing new?

Besides Google's block on Facebook sync which I think many people will not like! ;)

- No more Facebook integration. Before now, you could use the Facebook App to pull your friends' info directly to into your address book, just like you can on iPhone.

- WebM support. This is an open video format that loads easily on mobile devices.

- NFC updates. For the Nexus S there are some new NFC options for developers, including an API that will let apps write to NFC tags. This is useful for sharing information between two devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Well compcache doesn't work because Cyan's compcache script expects a kernel module called zram, while the older kernel provided with this rom has a module called ramzswap instead. Not only are they named differently but I believe they need to be configured in different ways.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] karlo1700:
kernel

i have old htc magic and i flashed 6.35 radio so which kernel should i flash:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If you have the new radio and correct hboot and recovery (see my signature) and if you want to try Gingerbread 2.3.2, then you can flash this rom or carz's Diet Gingerbread.

After you flash one of these roms, you can then flash carz's 614 MHz kernel (posted in the 1st and 2nd post of this thread) if you want. Otherwise you'll have carz's 576 MHz kernel by default.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I think the battery seems better.

When I use V2, my phone lost 20% over night with WIFI ON, but with V.150, it is only few %.

To Giant: Can u get HTC Sync works with this ROM? I see the HTC Sync App running but seems not connect with HTC Sync in the computer.

At some point today the bluetooth stopped working. It just wouldn't turn on. Also at that moment the battery started leaking very fast. The reboot wouldn't help so I decided to wipe the Dalvik cache. It helped. The bluetooth is back to normal now.

I remember having similar problems with data loss when using CM6. Back then wiping Dalvik cache was the only solution.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enek:
This is a pretty wicked rom. Seems very responsive and most everything works like you would expect on a real rom.

Couple things I noticed that don't work (in addition to stuff mentioned on the main page):

- track ball light doesn't work (on phone call or missed call pulse)

- keys don't light up ever (home, menu, back, search, call our hang up)

- no advanced call settings (i like to always show dial pad and in call options)

Can install dialer one if you want the dial by search feature.

I can live with the minor issues, I think I've found my new rom. :)

Great work Rider.

I never used my phone the whole day during school Except Alittle texting

but when I got home my phone was at 26% On the lowest brightness running

all I did was reply to a few texts didn't use it at all extensivlly

The battery lifes worse than the iphone and iPod -_-

Everything works fine though

but markets glitchy and it tends to be REALLY slow at time.. Atleast we got a working rom with GB but its just way to buggy :\

Before you rip a rom, maybe you should lighten up on the weed :p
