lol, welcome to the wonderful world of Team Royal / RoyalGinger :D

but ya, I've noticed on a full charge it can take a gooood while to come off 100% down to 99%, usually the climb down from 99% to 98% to 97% etc. happens a little more 'normal' than the initial 100% to 99% , but just consider it a wonderful beautiful head start :D

it still is the most amazing ROM (with fauxs kernel) i've ever used in regards to battery life (and everything else for that matter)..

PS - to the couple guys posting bug issues, i'm getting ready to respond and post some ideas for fixes .. didn't want you to think i forgot about you

@ ckisgen

If you do use the Genius button, does it works? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
verysick (and everyone else with issues) - i NEED logcats from you guys on issues that are this serious!

click here for a guide on how to make one from windows

verysick - which launcher are you using? (the stock one, launcherpro, ADW ex, zeam, etc)

and which recovery version are you on?

i'm more/less stabbing in the dark at this point without logcats - but try this first and then report back your results:

FIRST - REFLASH THE ROM following ALL steps INCLUDING FORMATTING SD CARD!! (backup your data first!!) issues like this (especially when they're so isolated and only happening to one or two of you) are almost always from leftover fragments of prior ROMs/flashes stuck either on your system and/or SD card

if the problem still persists after you've done that then try this:

1a) make sure 'set on boot' isn't enabled in both cmsettings AND setCPU (better to just uninstall setCPU for now if you're using it while trying to fix this)

1b) turn off wifi, bluetooth, and gps

1) download faux's 2.1 SV kernel from here

2) put the kernel.zip file onto your SD card

3) boot into recovery

4) wipe cache

5) wipe dalvik cache

6) fix permissions

7) install the kernel.zip

8) reboot device now out of recovery (option 1 main screen)

9) after you get to your lockscreen - WAIT 5 MINUTES (don't touch ANYTHING!)

10) then hold down power button and reboot

11) after your lockscreen comes up again - WAIT 5 MORE MINUTES (don't touch ANYTHING!)

12) now you can unlock and return to using the device normally (turn back on wifi, etc)

let us know if any of this helps...if not, GET ME A LOGCAT!

thanks

are you referring to trueblue_drew's genius button mod? if so - i believe a couple users reported the mod working except a minor bug when using with bluetooth (i think it says FC but then still works after you clear the FC prompt), i'll get with drew on this and see if we can't get a fix for this for the next update..

or are you referring to just the hardware button in general (which is currently linked to google search on short press, and can be mapped to google voice search or another program on long press) ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] voodoodoo1226:
Trueblue's. With ver 1.2 it worked with my bluetooth headset. When I clicked the call button it would brings up the voice command screen. With this new ver 1.3, it just redial the last number.

Thanks for the quick reply!!!

darinmc - which APN is selected, Simple or T-Mobile US .. my T-Mobile US says:

username: none

password: ****

server: *

i believe the stars aren't really 'populated' fields but placeholders .. and naturally my data, mms, etc. is all functional

1) did you format SD card? if not, try that if this continues to pop up

and

2) try pressing 'reset to default' (its on the right when you hit the menu button on the main APNs page that lists Simple, T-Mobile US)

another thing you could try is power the phone off and pull the battery ... leave it out for 5 minutes and then power back up

hope this helps you or anyone else if this pops up again..

let me know if it doesn't and i'll look into it further

thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
T-Mobile was selected. Mine showed exactly what yours is showing. I cleared the fields after the first clean install (I always format my SD), and data immediately dropped then popped back up and worked, only to drop at random until it finally wouldn't connect at all. So I booted recovery, clean installed again, played the reboot/waiting game, cleared the fields again, and data has been perfect ever since. Because I didn't try data the second time around before I cleared the fields, I have no idea if it was simply an isolated issue or somehow blocking my data, but considering everyone else has no problems I'm guessing I just had some strange glitch on the initial install. Either way the ROM is running perfectly. I would try to recreate it, but I'm so happy with how things are going I want to spend some time in bliss before I start staring issues in the face. :D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
open your phone app, press the menu button, then preferences .. make sure the first option (Call button retrieves last number) is NOT checked ...

if this doesn't fix it, let me know and we'll see if we can figure something out

thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
none built in to any settings menu (CM or otherwise) .. you can turn off every haptic feedback button there is (spare parts included) and it won't turn off the haptic on the lockscreen slider.

you have a couple options:

- buy 'widget locker' from the market .. i hear they have an option in there for it

(Settings/Behavior/Slider Haptic Feedback)

or

- disable the unlock slider all together (Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Lockscreen/Unlock options/Disable unlock slider)

and then either select Trackball unlock (in the same location as disable slider) and wake the phone up pressing the trackpad or create a lockscreen gesture to unlock the phone (Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Lockscreen/Lockscreen gestures...select use lockscreen gestures, then click build gestures, add gesture, tap unlock phone button at the top, draw whatever you want to draw on the lockscreen to unlock, then click done....now you can just draw the same pattern/letter/whatever on your lockscreen and it will unlock it

there's no haptic feedback (vibrate) with either trackball unlock or unlocking via gesture

I been running this ROM for almost 24 hours now, and I can definitely say it is very smooth and fast!! Havent had a hiccup yet. I consider myself a heavy user and battery life is absolutely amazing!! GREAT ROM and an even a better Team!! Good Job!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
can you be more specific?

are you using the built in music app?

i presume you mean the volume hard keys on the side of the phone?

is a headset plugged in or no? (just using external speaker)

is it not changing the volume when the device is on? how about screen locked but still 'on'? and also when the screen is locked AND off?

my volume controls work in all of these scenarios...

i could not replicate this at all

i need more details plus i'm likely gonna need a logcat

i'll help in any way i can!

thanks guys
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:

Thanks for an awesome ROM

Thanks for this. I just flashed. I am quite happy with it. I am still working out a few kinks in the loading of the ROM. I tend to lose root some times, which is quite weird, and only lose it for certain things (ie I can SU in terminal, but RootExplorer will not work). I also ran into my home key not working. I am currently reinstalling the ROM without the factory reset, with hopes that this will make things work.

Thanks again Team Royal!!! I am looking forward to RoyalMint!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:
Thanks for all your help but I figured it out. Doubletwist was set as the main app for headset controls. Turned that off and all is well. Thanks again.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
So far I don't seem to mind this rom. Just hate the stock keyboard lol

Since unplugging after flashing last night, I now have 35% battery life left after 18 hours of being unplugged. 8 of those were while I was sleeping so it was never used, but I've been using it all day having music on at the gym and at the driving range, sending text/emails, surfing the net, etc.

So hopefully it'll get even better when I run this all the way down and everything's gotten set.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
quick question. i just flashed this, and it told me to pick the first option in the setup wizard when it boots up. So would i pick "com.android.provision" or "setup wizard"?

sorry, im a noob =)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
com.android.provision

What's up, hey guys I upgraded from 1.2 right when this rom came out.

I get random force closes every now and then, any ideas? I really don't want to reflash, but I will if I have to.

Also some suggestions: a recent apps tab in the notifications like in the stock rom.

Great job btw this rom is my daily driver, you guys are the A-team of android lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
try rebooting into recovery, clearing cache, dalvik cache (under advanced) and fixing permissions (also under advanced)

then boot back up and follow the settling (wait 5 min) reboot (wait 5 more min) procedure at the end of the instructions for initial ROM flash in the OP

your suggestion was noted.

thank you for your kind words. i flash ROMs all day almost every day of the week for testing (every flavor of android you could think of) and this ROM is what i restore to every single time when i'm done testing for the day.

and it's only gonna get better :D

we're already at work on v1.4 (don't start asking when! lol, you just got 1.3!)

happy flashing!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AlphaKoi:
Team Royal.....kudos to simply THE BEST ROM out and for your MT4g work. Much appreciation. I am a former BB theme designer and your work is just amazingly impressive.

I do want to give you feedback on an issue that I am having in case someone else is or....in case its my inexperience with this process or something else Ive done wrong.

I flashed RG 1.2 a week ago and randomly it would freeze (usually when the phone was in sleep mode...Id get a text message...and tried to wake the phone to answer the text). In all honesty, I didnt complete EVERY step when flashing the ROM because I didnt format my sdcard. That I know was an issue.

today, I flashed RG 1.3 but followed every step to the letter...even formatting the sdcard. The first attempt at flashing had it stuck in the boot animation on the first boot attempt.

I re-flashed and again followed every step to the letter including formatting my sdcard prior to the flash. This time everything went EXACTLY as the OP said it would. I LOVE THIS ROM. I have had the phone freeze though.

It has frozen 3 times since flashing it when the phone was asleep....i get a text.....i attempt to wake it......phone is frozen black but all my phone buttons are illuminated.

I just bought a bigger battery for it (1650 mAh)....so I am leaving it charging for the 12 hours and will be using the phone intensively for the next 2 days to "train" the battery. I am also trying to troubleshoot because Ive done that frequently when theme developing. I see that WidgetLocker can cause issues with the ROM, so I have deleted that app and just use the ROMs lockscreen. I am not sure if that will resolve the issue or if I have the settings on anything wrong. I did not change any of the speeds of the cpu and do not have SetCpu installed. I also was using the HoneyBread theme at that time and have since deleted it and am just using the system theme. It only froze once since doing that.

I will report back with any other issues that happen during that time and any resolutions I trip over. The questions I have are....Did I do something wrong? and What could I do to assist the development team in troubleshooting this issue?

thanks again for the ROM as it is a masterpiece (as well as the kernel) and thanks for any assistance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scrubsja:
Nice job on 1.3 Team Royal,

Does anyone have the problem of the phone freezing during a call ie: lockscreen and buttons non-responsive? I have wiped as instructed in the op, re-flashed, fixed permissions and still having the same problem. The phone works and then after a while the problem occurs.

Any suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:
No offense to Faux, but I went ahead and flashed dumfuqs kernel. My battery life has improved, my wifi is faster, and my GPS locks instantly.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
Hey man - first off, we sure appreciate your compliments. We all work really hard on these ROMs and they mean a lot to us. As do you guys, the community, and your experience with our work. Glad you're enjoying it :D

As for your issue, if it is still occurring - give this a try:

1a) make sure 'set on boot' isn't enabled in both cmsettings AND setCPU (better to just uninstall setCPU for now if you're using it while trying to fix this)

1b) turn off wifi, bluetooth, and gps

1) download faux's 2.1 SV kernel from here

2) put the kernel.zip file onto your SD card

3) boot into recovery

4) wipe cache

5) wipe dalvik cache

6) fix permissions

7) install the kernel.zip

8) reboot device now out of recovery (option 1 main screen)

9) after you get to your lockscreen - WAIT 5 MINUTES (don't touch ANYTHING!)

10) then hold down power button and reboot

11) after your lockscreen comes up again - WAIT 5 MORE MINUTES (don't touch ANYTHING!)

12) now you can unlock and return to using the device normally (turn back on wifi, etc)

basically, this is flashing the standard voltage version of the kernel instead of the low voltage that is bundled with the ROM ... some phones perform better with this one...

let us know if this helps...if not, GET ME A LOGCAT and attach it to your next post!

(click here for a cool little app from the market that will generate logcats!)

thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
that's pretty strange .. it's the opposite for me ... you may wanna try faux's SV (standard voltage) kernel sometime and see how that works for you ... i just posted instructions and the link above this post

but everyones phone is a little different so whatever works for you the best!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
Ok, been using RG 1.3 since it came out. Getting upside down freezes a few times now (was having this issue with one of faux's kernels on ice glacier).

Couple questions: Where's the setting to disable lockscreen when I end a call? Also, volume keys don't work during a call when the screen is off. Is there a setting for this as well?

Noticed that there was a SV kernel available now. May try to flash that later.

Great work TR! By far my favorite ROM thus far and hesitant to try any of your others yet, but if you think there's one that is of equal or better, I'm all ears...

OUT
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:
Ill try that for sure.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya dude, check my post a couple before yours where i posted instructions on flashing the SV kernel for people with these issues. if that doesn't fix it and you've ALREADY REflashed the ROM using ALL instructions followed EXACTLY in the OP (including formatting SD card! .. backup first!) and flashing the SV kernel on top of that didn't work and these issues are still there ...

attach a logcat of when the issue is happening to a post on here and i'll look at it and see what's going on ... this appears to only be affecting a very small minority and i have not been able to duplicate this issue at all ..

to answer your questions:

for volume buttons to work for call volume during call with screen locked - go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/input settings/enable volume button music controls

(don't ask me why this is tied to the volume buttons controlling the call volume but it looks like it is)

if you go into spare parts app - there is a setting called 'end button behavior' , click this and then select 'go to home' and it should bring you to your homescreen after you end a call

Just out of curiousity... Why are Gapps included in this rom, and all TeamRoyal Roms for that matter, and not in CM7's?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
because we care so damn much..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] athakur999:
Google got onto cyanogen a while back for including the gapps in his rom since they aren't freely redistributable like the base android stuff is. Since then he's been keeping seperate.

Since CM is the highest profile ROM they still have to try to keep Google happy but other roms can fly under the radar and include them.

There's something funny going on here with WiFi....

D/WifiService( 1617): ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType: 0

D/WifiService( 1617): ACTION_SCREEN_OFF

D/WifiService( 1617): setting ACTION_DEVICE_IDLE timer for 900000ms

D/WifiService( 1617): ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType: 0

LOL, WifiService is putting the phone to idle for 15 mins (900,000 milliseconds)

This is probably NOT a kernel issue... there's something else going on that caused the WifiService with process ID (pid) 1617 to set that ridiculous idle time :(

Next time when you encountered this issue, DO NOT PULL BATTERY, instead can you wait for 15 mins and see if the phone comes back alive...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
So a thread was made in the general forums about the lockscreen issue possibly being tied to the lockscreen animations. Wanted to report that my lockscreen animations stopped working. They did at first, but now it just does normal screen on/off. Gonna check something and report back.

Edit: so the animations dont work if you change the animation speeds in spare parts.

Edit 2: they only dont work if you change the speed to fast.

Had another freeze. Will post logcat when I get back to house.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Make sure you read my post and wait 15 mins to see if it unfreeze... don't just post logcat without following instructions
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
had the freeze already prior to seeing your post. i'll refrain from posting the logcat and wait for the issue to happen again, and wait 15min. not sure what this has to do with wifi because each and every time it's happened, i haven't been at the house hooked up to wifi (mostly driving on the road). additionally, i hardly use wifi (usually turned off), but that is weird that when i do use it, it's putting the phone in idle for that length of time.

also, i've noticed that my signal isn't as strong as with the any other rom (as well as lack of hspa where i normally have it). i also seem to be getting periods of "no signal" in areas where i normally acquire one, and i won't receive one for minutes at a time. hmmm....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AlphaKoi:
My ROM freezing seems to be lockscreen related as well. I will post my logcat and the next time I freeze...if it happens....I will wait the 15 minutes to see if it resolves itself. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks

everything else appears functional except this one very major thing..

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You should always Wipe and Format you SDcard especially switching from one Rom to another. The SDcard stores things that are specific for that Rom and could cause issues with the current Rom you flash. Ever since the G1 you have had to wipe/format the SDcard.

I can see that there probably are a lot of newer Android Users out there so on the next update I might just remove the files causing you to wipe everything and everything. I am not trying to be mean, just not used to it. TeamRoyals goal is to make things as easy as possible with delivering high quality Roms to the community. I think we have proven that with the last 3 Roms we have released.

For now wipe everything follow the instructions on the OP and do what it says. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Yeah I just noticed that also. I will look into it. I am using Dumfuqs Kernel I will see if he has a fix or I will change the Kernel and use something else. But I am at work I will look into it when I get home.

And No I ment Wipe your

SDCARD!!!

you should now by doing this it will remove everything that is on your sdcard including pictures, music and and file. So back up your sdcard prior to doing this.
