[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hi guys. I've been running AOSP almost exclusively since I procured my Inspire in March of last year. I'm stuck riding it out until hopefully the next Nexus or whatever else I can get with open source drivers and preferably SLCD instead of freaking AMOLED.

I finally got around to replacing the single-DIN cd player in my car with a Kenwood KDC-X996. I couldn't get it to connect to my Inspire running on Jellybean at all. I can get a connection on LordClockaN's IceColdSandwich 8.6 but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be as "janky" as it is. It will infrequently connect the first time I try, but then the phone will keep giving me pairing notifications and other times the settings menu will just freeze. It's boggling my freaking mind and I think that I'm just going to have to try out some Sense.

Does anyone in this thread interface their Inspires with their Kenwood CD players made between recently and ~3 years ago? Regardless of the response to this query, I'm starting my umpteenth NANDroid and waiting for the next release by ClearD.

Thanks guys.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
I am also looking forward to ClearD's next release.

As for music, I run a Sony cd player in my car and have not had an issue with Bluetooth connectivity. The last release of ClearDroid is by far the best rom for streaming via Bluetooth. I also use my Inspire with Moto's T505 and HT-820.

I've had better than stock results using Redemption but it just doesn't match the stability of ClearDroid.

[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
The A2DP streaming in this ROM is indeed much more reliable and easy to implement when I get into the car I start the engine (pointless to connect while in I or II on the ignition because the cd player power cycles when the starter does it's thing) it takes about 30 seconds to get rocking. However, is there any way to get it to display more than just "BT Audio" on the cd player? When I got it to work (have to freaking reboot phone every time I get back into the car to even pair it and get rocking) on CM10 it displayed track information and such. Is there any way to get that working with Sense 3.0/Gingerbread? If not, is there any kind of AOSP (except IceColdSandwich or CM10/aokpjb because they are a royal pain to pair with the cd player) that reliably connects to a2dp without reboots ( i.e. jb and icecold) and with track information?

I'm sorry that I'm such an A2DP/android noob. I've never had need to utilize A2DP streaming before...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Next release will be soon, I promise. I think it was the init.rc addition. I replaced my build.prop today and permissioned it and rebooted, and it is nice so far. Hardware acceleration is seeming to make a big difference to me. My phone flew. :)

So far so good with CD.1.4.0 build 16, however am having notification problem with Words With Friends app. I have tuned on notification within the app but it doesn't notify me when it's my turn to play.

This feature works fine under CD.1.3.1.

Has anyone using WWF app had the same problem under CD.1.4.0?
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
It works for me, bro. I'm on the same version. I play all the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
The app has to be in memory for the notification to show, so make sure you start the app whenever you restart the phone to get it in memory.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I used to play words with friends and noticed on inspire stock ROMs the notifications don't always work. I had the problem on 2.47 and froyo. Never played on this base though but seems to be same issue. Not everyone seems to be affected, so it may be a local network issue. I do live in a heavily populated area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MyEpix:
WWF is about the only app I run on consistent basis on my phone. I am usually playing 6 or more games at a time, so the app is always in memory. I will try clearing the app data or reinstall to see if that helps. I definitely did not have notification problems with the app in previous ClearDroid ROMs

Edit: Uninstalling and reinstalling the app worked! I got notification back.

Clear, can you fix the mms limit? Mine is 300. I think I lost the 600 option when I installed the grey modpack.

Yes, the newest.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Hmm... question, how did you go about installing 1.4.0 build 16? I haven't touched the MMS yet, so unless you installed the old MMS apk, it should still be correct lol. I can't remember offhand whether that was a framework hack or an mms apk hack... I do believe that the old apk would only go to 300 Kb though?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
How do I check the mms size limit?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Go to the Messages app, then hit Menu, then Settings, then Multimedia Messages (MMS), then tap Maximum Message Size, and the largest number there is what you're looking for. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
It's at 600. Volumnus' problem with it seems to be an aberration.

In other news, I flashed the Green Modpack 1.5 and all it seems to have done is add circle battery. I think it's supposed to add extended power menu and such, right? What did I do wrong? I just flashed it in the latest 4EXT recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Not sure on the aberration...mine is set for 600 but pares a pic down to around 250 to send it. It was working properly until the last kernel update. I know, it seems like I pick on bdaman a lot. It's not by any means intentional.

Sent to a tower near you using ClearDroid and XDA Premium. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Yeah it seems like my Inspire has never sent an MMS at the full 600 kB, even to an identical Inspire from the same batch and on the same ROM in the same room.

Is the modpack green 1.5.000 supposed to only give super circle battery? I see no additional themes, but that might be due to my having uninstalled a lot of the sense components (facebook, peep, twitter, stocks, etc) in TiBu but I kinda doubt it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
The modpacks are very limited right now, I'm adding features to the Rom literally as I type this though. Build 2 of 1.4.1 is cooking. :)

I've also got super slow internet at work right now, and it probably won't be fixed until after 6 am, so if it works, I'll try to update it online when I get home.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Does AT&T have proper HSPA in your area? If they do then you should be able to tether quite nicely provided you have a good signal. I fork over the $50 5GB tethering for the rare occasion when Comcast takes a poop all over me. The last outage lasted 19 freaking days. It's mind-boggling to go from 105/15mbps to 9/1.3 on it's best day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Holy cow, you guys are awake at 4-5 am lol. Yes, they do. Problem is, I don't have unlimited data, and the rom upload would literally use 1.5 times my monthly data allowance. So, when I get home, on my own cable connection, it'll upload much much faster. Here at work, it's a crappy AT&T connection, I'm guessing DSL or something, with maybe 150 KB/sec max. Download. No joke. It's pathetic.

When I get home, I'll be able to upload it in a half hour or something lol.

Good news, 1.4.1 Build 2 boots and runs well. Still debating whether to release it right now, or make another build and include BD-Ace kernel 2.1.2, or make that into the next build. Need to pull out my boot image and modules... that could take a little while longer if something goes wrong. I think I'll stick with releasing this one for now, and do that in the next build.

Working and included:

-Extended Shutdown Menu (Thanks Lyapota!)

-USB Debugging icon removed

-HSDPA/HSUPA/HSXPA speed increases

-AGPS tweak (test this?)

-MTU Size tweak

-MMS Retries changed from 2 to 5

-VM Heap size increased

-Wifi Scan Interval changed from 15 seconds to 30 (saves battery)

-Hardware Acceleration support added

-Removed shutdown animation

-Added Task Killer speed tweak
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
What did I ever do to you? :( lol

Try this

This will return you to stock kernel for 1.4.0 Build 16 stock kernel.

See if your problem is fixed.

Then reflash >>>this<<< to go to 2.1.2 to see if problem returns
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I thought HW accelerated UI was an ICS+ only feature?

Also, I don't think it really matters about the kernel version. You shouldn't need to build and upload a whole new build just for a kernel update. It's not difficult to flash a 2.x MB kernel in recovery...

Do you have the 250 MB data plan?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I do believe you're mostly right. It actually began in 3.0, and I'd never fully read up on it until now. That stated, I'm guessing the changes I'm seeing are from the task killer edit. Meaning, it's probably placebo effect. Also currently OC'd to 1.3 GHz. However, I threw it in there anyways, just because it was in the last builds from 1.3.2's build.prop. Think I'll remove it though. :)

Data plan's only 200 Mb. :(

And correct, but it's just easier to have it all within the Rom, so everyone doesn't need to download multiple files for one end result. Everyone probably uses the extended shutdown menu, just as everyone probably uses bda's kernel. So, typically, I include both. :) When he releases new things, I update them internally and on here/my website as well as he updates them on his thread/website.

EDIT: Uploading now, give it about an hour.

ClearDroid 1.4.1 Build 2
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I did a full wipe, wiped the cache, and the dalvic cache. I tried reinstalling the Rom without doing a full wipe, but it's still 300.

Update. I did a full wipe and reinstalled the rom and modpack. It fixed the issue. Never delete the data in your messaging app. I think I may have done that, causing the problem with the mms size limit.

sent from my HTC Inspire running ClearDroid
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I'm in the process of dirty flashing the new one. Looking at the changelog I do believe that a dalvik/cache wipe will be fine since I'm coming from a fresh EXT 3 format before 1.4 build 16. I'm going out tonight so I'll have ample opportunity to see how it does regarding battery, cellular voice/data, and GPS. So far on 1.4 b16 I've had great battery life while streaming music from audiogalaxy (google music upload is so freaking slow it'll take another ~2.7 days to finish) and from the phone to my cd player.

It would be awesome if there was a patch or something to enable sending track information over bluetooth like AOSP does.

EDIT

I've done some digging and the protocol that governs the track info is called AVRCP 1.3.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I can check into it :) And yes, a dirty flash is fine for this build on top of 1.4.0 B16

EDIT: Oh bda... *whistles*

Looks like all of the bluetooth stack stuff for android is from BlueZ, and it's all implemented in the kernel. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
You have only been the best. :)

I'm gonna dirty flash 1.4.1 B2 over and see if that will fix me up. You know, two birds with one stone.

Edit 1.0: 1.4.1 B2 is in, no modpack, no changes. Sent myself a pic with no text. Original size 723KB (2016x1512) Went out as 562KB (2016x1134). Came back as 241KB (1260x709)

Edit 1.1: Flashed green modpack, no wipe at all - same result as Edit 1.0

Edit 1.2: Wiped cache and Dalvik, flashed 2.1.2 (The Big Boy, I got my pants on! :) ) Still the same result.

Edit 2: Testing a new Anker battery. Says it's 1350. Charged up, cleared battery stats, ran down, charged up and guess what battery monitor widget says....1253!

[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
So would bdman need to add the module(s) to his kernel? If that can get done in will be happier than a labrador retriever in a tennis ball factory. I read somewhere that the stock HTC bluetooth stack is a steaming pile of horse manure.

On another note, 1.4.1b2 is running very well. It's automatically connecting to my cd player and computer (unified remote is awesome) and it's working great. I too overclock to 1.3 ghz and it's very fast. It's silky smooth and everything works better than I expected. Thank you very much, clearD and bdadman; I appreciate it immensely.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
It only gets better. If you guys like it, I'll update Rom manager with the latest. The last one, the only comment was a 3/5 star "I could do this myself" comment. Almost made me rage.

That sounds like an AT&T problem, if it went out at the right size, then came back wrong after their network. :(

I wonder if there's anything I can do about that short of changing the device ID in the build.prop...

[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hey farmall;

It's time for a wee bit of chemistry 101. Every seller or individual you see spouting off about more mah in the same physical volume of battery is either ignorant or a liar.

A higher capacity battery requires a physically larger battery and we can't have one of those due to no removable entire back cover that could be replaced with a bigger one. Some nerd somewhere will argue that you can increase the energy density in the same volume of a lithium battery and you can, except only in a lab and definitely not on a production line in China. Just be glad that it's the same capacity as stock. Plenty of HK special batteries come in way less than stock or aren't even batteries at all. Believe it or not, there are only three or four companies in the world that make rechargeable lithium batteries and they're all in China. Why are they all in China, you ask? Well, to make a lithium battery cheaply requires a very nasty and toxic process with disposable (in Chinese Party officials' collective brain trust) humans because it's a delicate business with lots and lots of very nasty chemicals that give off lots of super-carcinogenic vapors. All the myriad brands of lipo batteries out there are all rebadged and marked up by an unholy margin.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
You mean a hybrid vehicle has already polluted the environment before the motor has even started? Say it isn't so. We have a country full of people that think they are green.

Actually, I was kinda bragging that the battery was at least as good as stock. I wasn't really counting on it. The old one was down into the high 600 to low 700 range. I was a little rough on it. Interesting to see how long this one will hold its torque. ;)

I'm done, getting back on topic.

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Clear, I know you are always looking for ways to improve your rom without veering too far from stock. One suggestion I have is including some sort of volume boosting tweak. I know it's the phone, not your rom, but, when listening through ear buds in a busy place, there just isn't enough volume.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Dude, you seriously need to get Volume+. I think you can get it free from XDA but it is freaking awesome and it's cheap on the play store. You can turn that thing up so high that it'll result in a 1 kiloton equivalent of TNT nuclear blast. I use it and set volume to +10 and it gets plenty loud enough to hurt your ears. Also, what's the impedance of your headphones? For crappy power sources like phones and PMPs you want something with very low impedance (i.e. 64 ohms or less), lest you use a portable headphone amplifier. I know these things because I like to, well, to borrow a colloquial phrase, "rock out with my co*k out." I've been hacking phones to make them stupid loud since WinMo 5.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
271kb, of course! At&t can't handle big pictures! (figuratively and literally)

Edit to reply to volumnus without taking up another post;

You should be able to hunt around in settings and find an option to disable reporting to HTC. I only saw that notification once and after I unticked the box I haven't seen it. I just rebooted to check and indeed, no HTC notification.

Oh yeah that's how I stopped it. I deleted a whole bunch of HTC and sense sense components.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Tell HTC Notification.

Each time I restart I get the HTC notification in the task bar. I have to open and close it to get it to go away. You can't just clear it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdaman80:
I deleted the tell htc app with tibu

I don't get the xda premium fc's y'all were talking about yesterday. I've never really had problems with it.

Also, is there a way to adjust the auto brightness parameters? I'm in a pitch black bedroom right now and this thing is like a quasar.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You know, I've never tried, but I want that done too. I hate the stock auto brightness, and the root app I bought that's supposed to fix it? It doesn't. I'll check around.

EDIT: Andddd 20 minutes later, we have modded autobrightness. I'm rebuilding the framework right now. Will test next. :)

FWIW, the lowest detected brightness was 81 lux, and that's way too high. Set it to 11 and 41 below that, with low screen brightness levels to accompany them. We'll see if it works now.

EDIT 2: First one was a flop... FTB. Either I set the high too high, or the low too low. Gonna redo it and try again.

EDIT 3: Error turned out to be the way I installed the framework. Tried to push and repermission rather than flash. Worked when rebooted, but it's... not working like it's supposed to. It's like it's backwards or something? I take my finger and cover the sensor and it goes full brightness.

I know some other people I have worked with on inspire stuff in the past had random FC and Reboot issues when auto brightness was turned to low.

Not saying its gonna happen, but if it does. Lets remember that it has happend to others in the past.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Using my Lux app right now, the light sensor apparently only detects certain light levels. And they're not the ones that were in the stock values... Not at all. It's odd.

Gonna try tonight with the values I just recorded.

Sent using XDA-funded carrier pigeons
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Anyone using the green modpack, try this...

It only adjusts the auto brightness. I even added a few more values than the stock one.

Lows are lower, brights are brighter. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Well it does take it to less than eye melting in low light but it's still not minimum back light in pitch black or when holding finger over light sensor. My light and proximity sensor are pristine, I use an Otterbox defender and clean the phone with very high pressure air every few weeks. Also, I have never had an xda premium fc until I flashed that zip. It could be unrelated because it hasn't recurred.

Edit

Well I think I have a bad habit of sacrificing screen beauty for battery life because of this ridiculously tiny battery. Objective testing with my unphonenerd girlfriend states that the auto brightness is useful now. Previously she thought it was just on retina searing no matter what. I won't be able to test high ambient light performance until tomorrow but I expect it to do well. Thanks clearD, we appreciate your work very much. Hooray for American rom and kernel developers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I still don't like the middle ranges x) gonna try to fix those today lol. 160 lux is full brightness, but I don't think it needs to be... Gonna try to tone it down. I do enjoy the lower dark settings now though. :)

Alrighty, let's try this again.

Lowered the high values except for the super high one. When your phone is in between 160 lux and staring at the sun, it'll be somewhere between 50% - 100% brightness. Should help on battery. If that's not enough on the high end, we can always do another one tomorrow. :)

Once again, green mod only for right now (it replaces the framework):
