Guest Polys Polykarpou Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Since the 29/01 build I have really bad battery life. I'm talking about 10% in less than an hour with the phone being idle. I always have wi-fi on. Is this the problem? I didn't have this issue when I gave a shot at CM10.1 and Konstat's 4.2.2.

Guest Roy Fokker Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've been following the work done on these Blade ROMs for a long time, and I've been using this ROM for a long time. It's amazing what you guys have done, and keep doing. I've flashed the latest version and I'm having problems with FM radio (Gen1->Gen2, 180mb TPT): it starts okay, the app works, the reception is excellent, but when I try to turn it off, it's okay until I try to unplug the headphones - the phone goes silent. When I plug the headphones back in, the radio is playing in the background and the FMRadioReceiver crashes if I try to start it. I have to reboot every time. Am I the only one this happens to?

Wifi is a battery drainer, but the battery usage goes down about every new android version gb-ics-jb. Also you can try https://play.google....libration&hl=en and after reseting the battery stats, it can take like 3-5 "full" drains to get the best of battery as it 'learns'.

If im right the radio needs the headphones to work. The receveiver app is at very early stages, you can use the kill button, task killer or force stop to stop it.

Guest chgergo Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 download Blade Checker app from the market and check which gen phone you have. the common mistake is that people try to use gen2 tpts on gen1 phone. if you have tried the other gen's tpt, just simply try the other, it wont start it if its wrong tpt. also you could just trimm and delete apps from the rom and gapps to make it fit to 138mb like i have. ű ű Thanks for the answer, I have prepared the TPT this way using blade checker. Btw it says: European Blade Syock-win gen2 image.bin style current partition: 138-301-2 Furthermore I have tried wthe process with a known working "image.bin" file placed into the "image" directory of the SD card giving the same result: when I power on pressing menu and vol up just gives me the boot logo even if i waited for 20 minutes. It seems the phone does not start anything, just hangs. May be there is a way to rewrite or repair the bootloader itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receveiver app is at very early stages, you can use the kill button, task killer or force stop to stop it. I know it needs the headphones to work, but when I unplug them, the sound remains "bound" to the radio and doesn't switch to the speaker. When I plug the headphones back in, the radio is still running, and system sounds work. It just keeps running in the background, independent from FMRadioReceiver, and there's no task that I can kill to turn it off, save for a reboot.

The reason I asked here first is that it seems everything goes well until I try to start bootloader. I have used http://www.amphoras....apps/tpt-helper , pre-prepared images, different SD cards formatted under CWM with always the same result. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just keeps running in the background, independent from FMRadioReceiver, and there's no task that I can kill to turn it off, save for a reboot. As long as FM radio is switched on, audio is currently forced to headset, no matter if it is connected. To switch off FM radio, go to the FmRadioReceiver app and press the back button. Not ideal nor intuitive, I know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy Fokker Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ah, that's what I was doing wrong - I pressed the Pause button in the radio app before pressing back. If I press back while it's on, it closes properly. Otherwise it just crashes, the radio keeps playing and you can't go back into the app. :D There should be a quick tutorial for it, as long as it's in this state.

Guest huibuhh Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Erstmal ein dickes Dankeschön an dich, Daemond. Fühlt sich gut an, dass das Blade nun komplett ist :) Apart from my german greetings to daemond: I can't find the setting to trigger camera shutter with volume keys. It was present in CM9. Is it not present in CM10 or do I just not find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rdis Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Big thanks to the dev(s) for this great ROM. This is the best GB+ ROM for my V880. Stable and no random reboot at all. For V880 user, this is my config: - 160 mb partition - 652 mhz cpu - Smartassv2 gov - noop i/o sched - zram 50% - KSM enabled - Allow purging of assets - .5x animation scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mitchde Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 May i ask in which cases changing the enhanced features of ZRAM (off, ....) and I/O sched change (BFG, SIO, ...) can be good? (i have an 600MHz/512MB Blade) What ZRAM does i know in general (using cpu to compressing RAM vs more RAM swapping without that ) , but anyone see diffs in usage ? Thanks - hope others may be interested. I/O sched may already "outexplained" but at least some comments tro ZRAM would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mckahuna Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for your awesome work daemond just a n00b question; are there some few files I can add to the system to make FM radio work without flashing the whole rom? Am out of my data plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elrond_bs Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Apart from my german greetings to daemond: I can't find the setting to trigger camera shutter with volume keys. It was present in CM9. Is it not present in CM10 or do I just not find it? I think there was never such option in stock camera (at least not in CM10). Just try a custom camera app, I recommend "Camera JB" or "Camera ICS" from Play Store, they have this option and a few more. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
