I'm running the amazon app store and running all the apps without a problem..... I download almost every free app and haven't had a problem. I dont install them all but an app for free is good for me!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Guys, prepare to be impressed.

You think battery was good before?

I am testing some new settings right now that has significantly increased my battery life. I have shared my idea with DR. Ryder and if our testing goes well you will be enjoying an even more extended battery life.

I'm hopeful at this point and will post some screenshots of what I am talking about. I'm really pumped to be running eternal prophecy right now the dev is awesome and actually listens to ROM users ideas and suggestions and makes stable, quick ROMS with amazing battery life. Should be the top sense rom on this site!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Current settings

Settings now being tested

No need to say that there is a distinct difference in the way the CPU is being used. Notice that the lowest setting being used is HALF of what it was before and its there MORE. Also, couple this with the fact that HAVS uses voltage scaling that reduces voltage more significantly the lower the CPU clock speed and you not only have benefit of lower clock speed but a more reduced voltage at that clock speed.

These are just experimental screenshots and not entirely comparable because I haven't had my phone on for the same amount of time doing the same amount of things, but it may not mean EVERYTHING but you can bet this probably means SOMETHING. In other words, it looks really promising now.

*You may notice the max clock on mine is 1113, this would not be true for the ROM in general, my phone is incapable of clocking above 1113 reliably so those are my settings and would be different for other users
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
So far this rom is pretty flawless for my use,smooth no extra crap I dont use anyhow. Modified the notification widget as mentioned above and removed brightnes for wimax(get it at work and home). Also flashed calkulun's search button killer. Awesome to find a nice streamlined rom yet fully fuctional! Thank you raiden!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mykenyc:
Which version? Tried it never went past the white HTC screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hey hey. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be working with some of the other developers on here and a new rom made using mine as a base will be coming soon. So, definitely keep checking back for when that'll be and status updates. :D

Edit: Also, some of you may be noticing that Facebook Sync seems to come on and stay on for a period of time. That's just started recently and I've had 1 report about it. It's nothing in the rom as this has never happened before. I think there's an issue with how the syncing works. I'm even on Wi-Fi and it's still syncing the live feed. For now, you can go into Accounts and Sync, Facebook, and stop the sync.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tuscolavol:
Confused... Isn't the Engraved Edition asop? This is a sense rom. What am I missing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Scroll down to the Main Downloads then look at Sense 2.2 Version. Get the Engraved Edition 1.6 for the Vanilla Locks. I think that's the one he's using.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mykenyc:
Used the standard one, the engraved one didn't boot up for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Weird. At least you got something. The rom that me and some other devs are working on will be themed out the ass and should look pretty awesome and still have all the awesomeness that this rom currently has with a little more awesome baked in at 375 degrees. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] HTCRALEIGHFAN:
if you look it says in my post v 1.6

and you are correct sir! engraved ed 1.6

my bad for not fully stating that in my op!

Tried this out this morning and its pretty sexy. My only issue is it seems to be missing the bookmark widget. Also, do you have that lockscreen settings app as a stand alone file? It'd be nice to have on other roms.

bring it on.....i seriously cant wait for this man......but when it drops...its drops.....and i TOTALLY agree that this should be the TOP sense based ROM on XDA today.....but everyone is too busy with the 3.0 ports right now.....no big deal.........ill take stable over BETA any day.......

I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Sure would be a great gift to load 6.0 tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
for what it's worth my amazon apps are all working perfectly as well. definitely looking forward to version 6.0!

SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.9 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Bad news for those that like the HTC_IME mod keyboard. It can't be installed as a system app, I tried to set it up with putting the lib in the system/lib folder and all it does is force close. It has to be installed like a normal app.

Sorry guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
It comes with sprintlovers ROM unthemed. I have a apk for that too if its any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
It's not just the APK. It's libs too. I put the lib that it had in the system/lib folder and it wouldn't work. Force closed every time. I have never had luck using this keyboard and really, it's not worth the trouble since I don't even use it.

It has nothing to do with the theming of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Well that's okay because I already have it on my phone anyhow so I will just put it on again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. It's easy to install for those that want to have it. It just has to be installed like a normal app from your SD card or something. I'll put a link to the 3rd post or something for people to download. It's a nice keyboard, just not worth the trouble getting it working especially when I wouldn't even use it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Very excited for this update... ready to start from scratch..... my battery has been getting worse the last week or so! Going to install apps slowly and hopefully find what's draining it.

Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Sounds good Ryder..........can't wait bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
it possibly could be a ROGUE app.....same thing happened to me when i first started to use the ROM.....actually i had RYDER checking his work on his end too cause a few people had the same issue.....but thats a good idea, put a couple of apps on slowly and see how they interact with the ROM.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Yeah, I know it's not the ROM, been running since it was first released and was great!!! Has the best battery life with best speed and recently it's been dying really fast on me. I've been monitoring my apps with system panel but no app has high usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Ohh I see.....just thought I'd may make the suggestion ...thats all......I wonder what else it may be then
[EVO 4G Android Development] fikusunc:
have you had any updates to any of your apps lately? Maybe the update turned on a sync that you were not aware of. I know that when my apps get updates, I always go back in and check all of my settings.

When I publish updates to my programs at work, I always have the update go back in and set a few of the program variables, so that I know if anyone has any issues, I have a starting point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I've went through all my settings, syncs etc.... I've decided to nandroid back to one of my previous builds of of EP and see what happens. Then i'll go through my apps and update them!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fikusunc:
Did you check your 'running applications' and see if you have an app you dont normally use that has been running for a while, also maybe try a reboot. Not a hot restart, power down for a few minutes and then back on so that everything can re initialize from scratch. Then see how the battery does
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
BUMP !!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kelevra420:
Bump for badass battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
With the settings I've been testing for a couple days, I got 1 day, 7 hours on my battery with a lot of text messaging. So, 6.0 might have even better battery life.

Have to thank Action B for bringing up this...experiment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
sounds awsome man......i had to give this thread a little BUMP yesterday.......hate seeing it on the third page ya know?.....any UI changes?.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Not as many as people are probably expecting. Only things that will be different so far are..

->Themed Facebook

->Themed AOSP Deskclock

->Updated System Apps

->JsChiSurf's Notification Menu Mod (whenever that is finished, 6.0 will be done)

->Changes to the scaling governors for better battery life, especially when sleeping

So far, that's about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
hhmmmm....thats alight !!!......i like the current UI the way it is, but the better battery life is always a PLUS.....same KERNEL and CLOCK SPEEDS?.....LOL, sorry thats all i'll ask till it drops
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. Same kernel and clock speeds unless Netarchy releases something new before I finish this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:

Don't fix what isn't broken fight or buggy
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Here is an example of my battery usage under medium usage with the updated battery tweaks. Most usage was texting/web browsing.

I leave haptic feedback on for the keyboard and was on wifi most of the time, including overnight because I always forget to turn it off. Screen was set to automatic the whole time. This is not coming off of a 100% charge either because althought the phone has sbc charger I charge my batteries externally on a charging station (usually charges between 90% and 95%).
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
damn thats looks pretty good.....20 hrs up and 6 hrs awake........i mean i never keep an eye on that but it looks good to me...damn u guys are killing me with this LOL.....its alrght.....im not gonna go crazy like omse kINGDOM fans LOL......sounds good guys....cant aiwt
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Can't wait.... I'm still on 5.5 and ready for the .5 jump to 6.0

Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
I make a hobby out of it kind of. My old best was on sprintlovers ROM I tweaked it to have:

33 hours 38 minutes of up time

4 hours and 46 minutes of awake time

I figure that eternal prophecy would have at least matched the sprintlovers battery life above, saying that if I cut out the hour and 15 minutes of awake time and left it asleep it probably would have lasted another 12 hours on that charge at least.

Of course, its all relative anyhow since I do different stuff each day. Basically I am just saying eternal prophecy, like sprintlovers, has great battery life but personally I think it looks better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Now in short terms if u can what exactly are u tweaking?.....different kernels?...clock speeds?......j/w
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
So did j guys keep the same 4x5 grid?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Did you guys? There's only 1 person running this show. ;)

But, yes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
ohh sorry......i didnt mean to say that....my bad
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Yes, I don't mean to seem as if I am part of the development. I'm just an enthusiastic user that has a hobby of tweaking battery life. Dr. Ryder is the developer and deserves all the praise. Hell he didn't even ask me to do any testing at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
yea see i kinda got that impression but didnt mean anything by it though......but thanks for the tips though......just what i like to see ya know
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
I'm just messing with kernel profiles and clock speeds.

To put it simply, it came to my attention, since I usually tweak all my settings through setCPU and monitor battery usage as a hobby, that although the current ROM has 128mHz as its minimum frequency, it was never actually used with the smartass governor in the kernel.

I took the normalclocking zip he has up and edited the scaling to some different governors that DO utilize 128mHz and have been seeing if there is a difference in my battery life and/or performance.

Thats about it. Its pretty simple but with HAVS 128 is half the minimum clock speed it was before and it now sits there about 40% of the time. Undervolting also helps more at lower clock speed so benefit is complemented by that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
i hope ryder doesnt mind us talking off topic here (i dont think he will).....see now i have been looking FOREVER for a great source on how to use all those settings....i found a great thread here that talks about static undervolting and HAVS, but no good info on how to tinker with them a bit......cause ya know, one day i really wanna try and to some ROM building of my own....and i tend to notice that the DEVS that mess with the kernel and speeds and incorporate them into there ROM...there ROM always comes out the best.....and thats what i wanna do.....i sort of had a mentor from day one when i first rooted but i got bailed on unfortunately......do u know of any good sites or thread that explains in detail>?.,.....would be much appreciated if u do......thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
The Sense kernel that I use can't have the HAVS voltages modified. Only Sense kernel that allows that is Ziggy's and his kernel is terrible, for lack of a better word. He's pretty much dropped off the face of the kernel development planet and won't even use SBC so battery life is crap.

I'm hoping Netarchy will incorporate the ability to modify the voltage levels ourselves in future releases.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
ohh no kidding....ive only seen a hand full of people use ziggy's......but i use the same kernel that u use, with another OLD sense ROm that i use once and a while and its OK.....i wanted to mess with it a bit but i get kinda nervous tho.....but i guess thats the best way to learn.....mess with it and learn from it........i messed with the HAVS settings a bit in an AOSP ROM a couple of months ago and everything went HAYWIRE..LOL.....but ill get......so u basically change the script in the kernel?......is that what both u guys are saying?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Nope. Not changing anything except for the awake/sleep governors used in the CPU scaling script I included.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
ohh....damn it all sounds so confusing...LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Don't worry. Everything will be fine, if not better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
ohh i aint worried about it.....thats why you build it and i stick to running it hehe......sounds good man
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Yes that's true and it would be awesome if Netarchy started doing that. While the HAVs profiles are a great improvement they are not tweaked to each phone and there could be a lot of gain left to be acheived through tweaking of each individual phones stable limits.

BTW Ryder, I'd like to mention that my phone has some little quirks with the 128mHz. I've read somewhere that only some phones can handle 128mHz is this true?

Mine sometimes vibrates randomly with it running at 128mHz. Not terribly noticeable and not all the time but occasionally a random vibrate will happen distinclty starting when I cut the clock speed down to 128.

I wouldn't be surprised if all phones wouldn't accept these settings but you would know better than I.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. Some phones can't handle the underclock just like some can't handle the overclock. People will just have to flash the normalclocking zip if they have problems, I suppose.

I have never had any problems with overclocking unless I try to overclock to 1267. Then it won't boot. As far as underclocking, it runs just fine. No vibrates, crashes, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
hey ryder thanks for the rom just installed today, tried all different roms nice to come back to one that has everything working this thing runs pretty quick ran a quadrant score its the fastest one i have had 1139. i know this isnt an indication of how good a rom is but yours has the best score for my phone cant wait for your update use my phone for work and battery is pretty important for me along with cams and maps thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] Action B:
Thats strange my highest on this Rom is 1348 and I can't even overclock beyond 1113mhz I wonder why yours is lower...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
im not sure i never have had high scores but this one is the highest im just runnning the stock rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Update on my battery:

I returned to my nandroid backup of EP from about a month ago. Downloaded my apps again and my battery life is improved.... not really sure what was causing it but i finally got passed that annoying problem.

Thanks for all the trouble shooting.

Soooooo ready for 6.0

[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Anyone out there using the stock htc keyboard on EP? I flashed the stock keyboard onto my wife's phone because she wanted her navigation arrows back and everything works but the voice-recognition button. It doesn't even try to launch.

I know that I had to copy 2 files over to get Swype working, including the voice recognition, so I assume there's a .lib or something I need to install for her as well.

[edit] Yeah, yeah, I know that there are arrows accessible in Swype--I guess she just doesn't want to have to switch to the edit screen to use them :P [/edit]
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
There are no libs for it. You may need the Voice Search and/or Voice Dialer apks.

Out of curiosity what agenda widget are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rolfd:
OK, I've deleted about 20 posts discussing the current ban in place for the OP of this thread.

As stated above, we can't go in to details about specifics, I will say though, that banning is used only as a very last resort. This ban is not a permanent one, and as long as he doesn't do anything to have the ban extended, he will be back soon. So there is no need for a mass panic.

It's unfortunate that it came to this, but like I said, the decision to ban a member is never taken lightly. We have rules in place, and they have to be enforced where necessary.

Let's end the discussion here and hope that everything returns to normality very soon.

On-topic post

This post will not have any of the rah-rah GO DR RYDER U R TEH BETTAR! content (well, maybe just a smidgen) nor will it have any other objectionable shenanigans.

However, it will state that EP ROM is still the most efficient and cleanest-looking Sense-based ROM and that others that look like something cooked up in a goth 12-year-old's dreams deserve every ounce of constructive derision they receive. :cool:

Perhaps there may have been a more forum-friendly way to express certain opinions in the course of a lively content debate (duh). However, as long as the valid subject of the debate is addressed (keeping the development of actual ROMs vs. themes properly sorted) then some good will come of all this.

The Android community is much stronger for having dedicated developers working on high-quality products and this forum will be much poorer if high talent continues to move on to more focused, greener pastures.

Hopefully, the hard-working and quick-to-respond dev of this ROM is getting the 6 Million Dollar Man treatment at his temporary (to become permanent?) home and will come back faster, stronger and with better battery life than ever! :D

On the topic of EP ROM performance, has anyone experienced random reboots with v5.9? It appears that my wife's EVO will get all bunged up sometimes when trying to download and install multiple market updates simultaneously. Once it starts rebooting, it will continue to do so somewhat sporadically until all the updates are finished. This was happening in v5.8, too, FWIW. I was hoping the upgraded version would fix it, but alas, no.

I haven't personally experienced this, but we don't run the same apps, so I'm wondering if there's a specific one that is causing the issue. I realize that there's not a whole lot of info to go on here, but any insight by anyone else could be helpful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Afro Samurai:
I haven't experienced any random reboots at all. But I never do mutiple updates either. I just keep it to one at a time. May not help much but it's all I can offer as I'm running 5.9
