Have you guys tested Kifno Battery Life/More Performance Tweaks with the latest nightlies? I just flashed them over and am recalibrating battery to see if they are worth it.

Also, for guys talking about governors/cpu settings. I really recommend ONDEMAND 19/518. Yea its lower but I don't notice much difference between that and full overclocked at 768. Also, the 19mhz on screen off really boosts your battery life. Since its ONDEMAND, it won't feel laggy, not even on screen wake.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yep, as I've posted in the aospCMod thread, been getting that in various Settings menus across the board.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
I am getting better performance IMO with the interactive GOV. I set my phone to 691 Min 729 Max screen on, 480 min 691 max screen off and get about a day and a half to two days of moderate to heavy usage.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Will test it but how can higher frequencies use less juice than 518/19mhz?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Data on all the time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Err0rist:
I tested the more performance and my connection was much slower after flashing.

I ran tests on 3G/WiFi before and after.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gundamwfan:
I was on the CM6.1 BlackMod build for the past few months, loved it, and after trying aospCmod...I switched back a few days later. Not the fault of aosp, just general problems with the early build of anything I think. That, and after the last release they switched to a build without ADW launcher and I didn't feel like using the Market build which gimped my tron theme. Also, there were random freezes and things that required reboots and such that I didn't like at all. I'm going to try CM7 tonight, I've always liked the regular ol', open source CM so I look forward to this as well. Nightlies are always reliable I think.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
I'm not saying I get better life with the higher frequencies because haven't tried it any lower. Yes I leave data on and I use wifi whenever possible (work and home). Today I charged fully and unplugged at 3:30 and I have been using my hero constantly since then, I have been browsing the net, using Pandora, and screwing with settings since then pretty well non stop (all on wifi). It is now 9:30 and I have 51% left. This is heavier than normal usage but still pretty good battery life... I use compcache (18%) jit is off. VM heap is set at 16. Lock home in memory is checked (launcher pro) and I'm using the new memory dump thing (I forget what it is called). Let me know if u need more info but I must say gingerbread is running great for me!

Anyone have any thoughts about how smooth the UI is graphically? I had and still have slightly laggy/choppiness issues as of build #23, and yes, I know we're on like #28 now, but I like where my 2.2 setup is and I don't want to change it unless I know for sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
HeroC has a few performance hacks enabled by default now that make things a LOT smoother. Specifically, we're now using pieces of FroYo code for drawing speedups and asset bitmap purging.

Also, ADWLauncher absolutely sucks in terms of smoothness. I personally delete ADWLauncher and use Launcher2 instead, and it's amazingly smooth in comparison.

I'm working on a few more performance tweaks at the moment (camera drivers, ADW tweaks, code cleanups, etc), but as of now things are already pretty good. We're throwing around re-enabling RGBX_8888 surfaces (if userspace support is there), which may offer another boost.

I personally run an ODEXed version of the nightlies because it boots up faster after a re-flash; it may or may not be faster during runtime if you'd like to try it.

These are the settings I'm using at the moment:

Governor: Smartass

Min CPU: 264 MHz

Max CPU: 614 MHz

Compcache: 18%

JIT: Off

Surface dithering: On

Allow purging of assets: On

Lock home in memory: Off

VM heap size: 32M

All animations on

Fancy input animations: on

13.5 hours of light use and I'm still at 65% remaining battery, and everything still transitions fairly smoothly. I'm sure bumping up to 691 MHz would smooth things out even more, but I like to keep my hardware cooler and extend battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
I was experiencing the laggyness also in early builds but I am super satisfied with the way it is running now. For me the finishing touch was launcher pro. CM7 is still laggy for me without it BUT with launcher pro I have no issues. Read my above posts for the settings i use.

lockscreen text?

Doesn't seem like cm7 has the ability to add text to the lockscreen, but that previous cm versions used to. Anyone know if this is under development or have any other solutions? Would like to add contact info.

You can change where it says "sprint" with custom text, try to find it with search, otherwise I can try to find the link tomorrow.

Using Clockworkmod Recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
Thanks I'll try this now. is there a certain kernel I should flash? I read a few places that my problem could be due to the nightlies booting at clockspeeds too high for my phone to handle.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I thought I read recently that it boots at 691 and scales up if you set it that way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
Ok I just tried to flash the latest nightly, heres what happend..

When I try to wipe delvik cache it says E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)

Then when I try to flash cm, instead of a long list of things flashing like I used to get, including the message saying welcome to cyanogenmod, it simply says installing update... Then 20 seconds later update complete. Any ideas??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wild1z:
Are you using the apply update zip from sdcard or the flash zip from sdcard option?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
That's the error cwm 2.5.0.7 gives if you don't have a partitioned sdcard (if I remember right), you can ignore it. I saw that and immediately switched recoveries. I usually run 2.5.0.1 cuz it's green, but if you're not color dependant like me, I would suggest using the newest cwm 3.0.1.9 compiled by jasonmaloney.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
Flash zip from sd, then selecting the file manually
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
do you have a link for this? My rom manager only has a few alternate options for recoveries and that isn't one of them

Does anybody use livewallpaper? Ive tried to use a few but they never seem to load when I set them as the wallpaper. Does anybody know a way around this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Your best bet is a newer phone. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
Yea the Hero's hardware = no live wallpaper :(

Even so... i have to say that even with the lacking hardware that our Hero's have it is amazing how well the Hero has hung in there performance and durability wise. This is obviously in large part due to the amazing Dev support that it has had. My upgrade comes up in June and i would say i will be getting either the Evo 3D or the Nexus S, but I certainly will miss this little guy... :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
I tried every method besides the abd one (no access to a computer at the moment) but couldn't get the recovery working. I gave up because I don't mind the cwm recovery I have, and this was taking away from my actual problem of cm7 not working. every time i wipe and flash cm7 , I end up just getting the htc logo coming up, displaying for a few seconds, and then repeating. Has this been happening to any one else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Splash loops are usually fixed by a capped kernel.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
Could you link me to a capped kernel that will work well with cm7 ? I have plenty of experience with flashing different roms, but have never tried messing around with custom kernels, so I'm kind of a noob in this area. Thanks a lot for the help! Everyone here has been really helpful and patient, really makes me appreciate the android modding community!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
The included kernel is already capped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggs32:
what's it caped at? Is there a chance that my heroc can't handle that speed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Riggs, make sure you flash the kernal after the rom and not 1st- just in case you didn't know. If you still have issues, you might look for something called fixflash. I don't know the dev that made it personally, but it has helped me with my quirky phone. I never had flashing issues until 3/3 with a different rom and the these nightlies. I don't know if it was the switch from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3, but I couldn't flash new Tom's without unbearable problems. You need a computer and adb to do it. FWIW.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmccoy813:
I've notice that if you go into settings and then back to the home screen the live wallpaper will load. Same is true when selecting if you go into settings and then back out of them they will load. I also noticed none of the preloaded ones ever work for me so I always just dl the one(s) I want. Well at least thats been my experience.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
691, which should be fine.

Anyone having issues with bluetooth audio (Pandora) speeding up, pausing and trying to play catchup? The last 2 builds have given me this trouble.

Gov. Performance

Min. 300

Max. 728

No Jit

VM heap 32

I have done fresh installs with and without backup. The GPS crashed on me after an hour too but the bluetooth is more important.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
When you say GPS crashed on you, do you mean your phone rebooted? If so, it's very likely your phone/battery overheated with those CPU settings. Try ondemand/264/633 to fix that and your Pandora issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wild1z:
Hi Jason,

The GPS crashed on 710/264 Performance and 693/264 ondemand. It crashed meaning rebooted.

I will dial it back down to your suggested settings, flash AOSP's latest and report back tomorrow. Thank you. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RocStar629:
So what is the general consensus with the CM7 Nightlies, use firerats or not? I have thought about doing it but does it help much? Any performance tweak would be wonderful, but it seems like it would be a pain in the ass if it doesn't help that much. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
It's not a performance tweak.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Firerat is not a performance tweak. It is a method to "gain" additional data partition space by reallocating unused space from cache and system.

*EDIT* stayclean beat me to the punch :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bongzilla:
Dont notice too much of a performance increase although im sure it helps some. I mainly use it for the extra storage, i find that firerats is more stable than data2ext IMO. Its not really a pain to set up or anything other than changing the values if you want to flash a sense ROM to update PRL.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Gotten a few of those dreaded black screens, dark screens, screens not rendering today on 29. Was able to work around them, just informing.

Just flashed #30 and had major lag between the homescreens. I didn't notice any lag any where else but I didn't keep it going very long. Using ADW EX.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Disable the new CM Performance option "Allow purging of assets", it makes dragging between the homescreens laggy on ADW.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Jason, you seem to be of the belief that the GPS reboot issue is overheat-related, so I'd like to take this opportunity to relate my own observations.

Each of the times it's happened to me have always been in screen-off mode, with the phone in my cycling jersey pocket, running SetCPU at 345/345 ondemand. I can guarantee you, it's not overheating. I burn my battery at a very consistent 10% per lap during my bike rides, and each lap takes about 48 minutes. Btw, I'm also invariably running PowerAMP at the time, too. :cool:

For those keeping track of such things, during my rides the MyTracks app consumes 77%-78% of all power used, the PowerAMP app consumes 13%-14%, and the cell standby and phone idle readings account for the few remaining percent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I ride with MyTracks a few times a week with no problems too, I leave my phone at 176/768 in my pocket. Most of the other GPS apps reboot on me strangely only after moving, they work for extended periods while stationary. I rarely use Google nav for more than a few minutes at a time.

Sometimes the CM team does nothing, sometimes they do a massive amount of work. The buildbot is what pushes the nightlies, not the CM team.

At any rate, for those of you wondering what the difference between the RC3 and Build 32, don't bother flashing build 32. It's just a single wallpaper authoring credit fix. Flash the RC3 or wait and see what tomorrow night's brings.

Thanks guys promise that's my last restarted question, hard to believe i build and program high end home automation systems lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
If you have a nandroid of a recent previous build, you could always do an advanced restore of just your data if you are having issues flashing an update over a build. This us if you are using CWM.

You could wipe/format boot, system, data, and cache. Flash rom and gapps (and any kernal or themed apps) and then advanced restore data. You will then have everything how it was. Most suggest to flash one thing at a time and reboot to help clear up any issues. This can be a timesaver if you end up needing a full wipe. TB can take a while, although it has saved my ass more than once. Works for me anyway.

These new GB builds have been agreeing with my phone. If I could only flash an update over my wife. I wonder if I would need to wipe her dalvik cache?
