Guest theFRAGGLE Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I noticed the faster battery draining with 3.1, too. Drops like hell. :) I have the battery drain under control with the OverclockWidget, so I get out a running time between 65-72 hours with enabled Wifi 24/7. What are your settings for the Widget (active / sleep)? I would love to get more than 30 hours... 65 hours sounds fantastic! Any background apps? Twitter, RSS, calendar etc.?

Guest Henry Tan Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hey Henry, yeah, i'll look into that. I'll put a Chinese option into the kitchen. P Thanks! Paul. Sorry for asking this option to be put up. Hope it will not cause you too much time and trouble. looking forward to your Android 2.1 MCR too.

Guest masterpfa Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) OK couldn't do without my customisation any longer, been trying MCR 3.2 Beta 2, with no issues, but prefer the Baked version. Can't wait for some of the features from MCR 3.2 Beta 2 to drop into the kitchen, Paul will the icons be an option on the kitchen version or should I say can they be an option? I have been previously playing with a few combinations, Bare bones or semi featured. All are stable without any real problems. I have had to use the AOSP r6 by jnwhiteh, method of re-enabling access to apps in the market I wasn't seeing, but will try the Titanium backup method. Report to follow :) EDIT: I think it's time for a new SD card, appears market and missing items may have been to previous builds etc, I have been playing around with quite a few ROMS recently Nandroid back ups etc. Formatted my SD card, repartitioned, clean slate started again. Drastic I know but c'est la vie!! All the apps I previously could not locate in the market were there. so not in any way a problem with the ROM. @agony&htc Titanium Backup keeps all your configuration setting etc and I believe (but may be corrected if wrong!) should retain protection issues with apps. :) Edited January 14, 2010 by masterpfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just the widget. Sleep modification is 128 to 258 and active is 354 to 528. Background enabeled is Wifi, Stock and Weather. In addition I use Startup Auditor and Taskiller. I also removed a few Rom apps like Htc Mail, IM, etc. plus I use a dark coloured Wallpaper. Edited January 14, 2010 by Phanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest papous Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I am searching for HtcFacebook.apk for android 1.5 but I can't find it in the modaco 3.1.

Guest keef319 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I mentioned this in some other beta thread. I also mentioned I'm sure this isn't a problem tied to a specific ROM, because I've had alarm trouble since I bought the phone, both with stock ROMs and MCR's. If you are using TasKiller be sure not to kill Clocks app. It's the most common cause of alarms not going off. Not my case though :) Yeah I stopped trusting the alarm on the Hero a LONG time ago!! I even added clock to TasKiller to make sure I didn't accidentally turn it off. Didn't work. Still rubbish! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report to follow :) Excuse my ignorance: What is the "Titanium backup method" of re-enabling access to missing market apps? The "app disappearance" problem has bothered me for awhile, and for all my web-searching, I wasn't even sure there was certainty regarding the exact cause (although the consensus seems to be that it is a copy protection issue). The thought of having to install an entirely new ROM just to be able to see missing apps seems a bit extreme, so I am very curious to hear that there might be another option. Thanks for any info you can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesKing Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Would it be possible to remove the HTC weather app and associated widgets as part of the Kitchen? I don't use them, and so they're completely unneccessary for me. I also don't use the built in messages app, I use Handcent. It would be cool if there was something in the kitchen where you choose which you want, eg, built in, or Handcent, or ChompSMS (with radio button selection so you have to choose one of them!) and it would install the one you choose as part of the ROM.

Guest grasvater Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Flash a ROM with Jbed, then a ROM without Jbed -> Jbed deleted Flash a ROM with Spare Parts, then a ROM without Spare Parts -> Spare Parts not deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Because spare parts is in your /data partition (as indicated on first post), which isn't wiped unless you wipe. You can just uninstall from the standard applications menu. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem with the (broken) Google Maps: when I flashed a ROM with Google Maps built in without first removing Google Maps, the ROM flashed, and then the broken Google Maps "overwrote" the one on the ROM. When I removed Google Maps and then re-flashed, the ROM version stuck, and I can use that one. Just my observation, For What It's Worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HellSt0rm Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Removing the widgets or having a choice of wich to remove would have been a nice feature.. Have done this every time I flashed a new rom. Regarding the removal of the default message app.. It might not work as you want to. I only use the handcent app, but when I remove the default message app I had trouble with mms and sms. They either came late or never.

Guest denvro Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi, Installed 3.2b2 yesterday, but i went back to 3.1 custom kitchen rom. With Morelocale2 I could change the interface language to Dutch, but I could not change the keyboard input language to Dutch (and I use it alot). Is there any other way to do this? Or does it have to be added to the rom? Regards, D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
