Guest C!chy Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 The battery life with unervolted kernel is really good. After 48 hrs of light usage there is still 69% left, not bad at all! ;) Tomorrow will check it under higher load, but it looks really promising anyway. B) BTW. Is there a good reason to flash RLS9 from RLS8? Are there any bugs fixed in r9?
Guest tkelly0727 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Hello, fantastic smooth rom. I'm just wondering if there's any way of customizing the launcher? What I mean by that is settings for how many home screens you have etc. Thanks no thats the stock GingerBread launcher. try launcher pro or go launcher ex from the market. both can be customize and also can customize the icons. heres a ICS icon pack for launcher pro http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MV7591KL (by sami_22) not sure about go launcher. also an ICS theme by sami_22:http://android.modac...inger-negaraku/ Edited January 15, 2012 by tkelly0727

But maybe I'll try launcher pro then.
Guest malfare Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 RLS9 changelog: -removed ZTE Emode Helper It was only inluded because it was easy to use for calibrating proximity sensor. I made calibrating proximity much easier by putting it directly into 'ROM settings' menu. You can still install it as a normal app if you like. There is a link to it's original thread in the first post. I've tried the following two things, unsuccessfully :(. Install as APK, unpacked from Emode.apk_FILES.zip, mentioned here: #14 at http://android.modac...hout-ztedialer/ and install emode.zip with ClockWorkMods Install from ZIP, mentioned here: # 7 at http://android.modac...hout-ztedialer/ At last I installed ZTEEmodeHelper.apk, which did the job. Now I know: EMode is one Thing, and EMode-Helper an other one. :rolleyes: Regards Manfred

Guest mk89 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) flashed center clock and now i don't have rom manager section only battery ? what to do ? :D Edited January 16, 2012 by mk89
Guest targetbsp Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Can anyone explain how to fix wifi with the undervolt kernel? I'd like to use it, but since it breaks my wifi (can't connect) I'm not using it right now. If it's the same as WBAW's undervolting, then it also undervolts the wifi. In which case undervolting is likely the direct cause of your issue and so doing what you;re doing now (not using it) is the fix.

I'd like to use it, but since it breaks my wifi (can't connect) I'm not using it right now. Like I already said in my previous post. Flashing stock kernels also replaces your wifi driver. If you want to go back to using custom kernels, you need to reflash the RLS9 ROM zip to get the original wifi driver back first (no wipes needed). Out of interest, where/when did you buy your blade and what was its stock firmware? It really might have a different camera sensor again. Can you get some info about that sensor?
Guest KonstaT Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 flashed center clock and now i don't have rom manager section only battery ? what to do ? :D I guess you used an old add-on. Only use add-ons that are in the first post.

I bought de Blade last week in the Netherlands, as a prepaid package from KPN. SImlockfree. Stock firmware was 2.2, using a 5.0 MP camera. Tomorrow I'll try to find some info on the camera sensor and post it here.
Guest Anekc Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Hi. KonstaT , USB charging on/off is a good thing, but can You add a widget "on/off USB charge"Thx =)) Sorry for bad English
Guest Rödskägg Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Is the ROM running with the undervolting by default or do I need to change any settings CPU-settings? What settings do you recommend KonstaT? Thx for a great ROM :)
Guest ice_chill Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 This is my favorite ROM, especially the Vanilla version. Is there any chance to add Skype fix to the kernel, so that loudspeaker is not permanently on ? Thanks.

What settings do you recommend KonstaT? Thx for a great ROM :) You need to install the undervolted kernel first (see optional kernels section in the first post, gen2 only). After installing that, CPU (when running 480mhz or lower freqs) and wifi adaptor are undervolted by default. I recommend lowering min CPU freq to 122mhz. Overclocking ability is different in each device. Use ondemand or smartassv2 governor. Some i/o schedulers might give few points higher scores in some benchmarks but I don't think you can notice any difference in normal use. My current settings: 122-691mhz, Smartassv2, sio. This is my favorite ROM, especially the Vanilla version. Is there any chance to add Skype fix to the kernel, so that loudspeaker is not permanently on ? Thanks. Where can I find this Skype fix for kernel? I don't use skype, but it is suggested as work-around to use the FM-radio app that is included in this ROM. After closing FM-radio app, skype audio is routed to earpiece until next reboot. Some might call it a bug, but it has turned out to be a nice feature. :P Edited January 16, 2012 by KonstaT

Guest KonstaT Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Somebody uses FM? :o And I think Skype should go thru the loudspeaker, not the earpiece. I think that some people don't like their private conversations being over heard by other people. I meant this suggested work-around: Again, very simple issue to solve: after you turn the phone on, open FM Radio app (the andorko RDS version, to be found here, bundled with the ROM from the RLS4 on), close it - the sound will now be routed to the earpiece in Skype, Viber... This work until the next reboot...you have to open FM Radio app after each boot. Edited January 16, 2012 by KonstaT
Guest thewild Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Hi, and thanks for all the work you've done for the community ! I've been using your RLS7 ROM since I bought my Blade and have almost nothing to complain about ! Just minor sound problems, but I decided to give RLS9 a try before bothering you with them. I have a small probleme though : I still have the old "6 switches" power widget. Is there something I should do to have the new one ? I tried changing some things in the settings (I have to options to select the switches and reorder them), but to no avail. I did not wipe anything since I was already running Moldovan RLS7. Any idea ? Thanks a lot !
Guest mickr Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 I have gingerbread stir-fry b27 gen 2 installed at momment but would like to try this . What steps do I have to take to install this. With thanks Mickr
Guest Davidoff59 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Im using version 9 standard version, not vanilla version and I can't get catalog to work. I have tried 3 different logging apps and none work, no logs coming up at all. I had this issue on version 8 also and posted it here. Can anyone let me know which log app works please with this rom. installed with a full wipe.
Guest tkelly0727 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 That's a shame, since I tried switching to ADW launcher and it wasn't as smooth at all. But maybe I'll try launcher pro then. yea. launcher pro is smooth i use it with the ICS extra. to have the look of the ICS launcher.

Any idea ? Thanks a lot ! I can't quite understand. :o Only way that would be be possible is if you installed the "6 switches power widget" add-on after you had flashed RLS9. That would overwrite the new notification power widget. Re-flash RLS9 and only use add-ons that are in the first post or themes that were specifically made for RLS9.

Interesting, I could have sworn I used aLogcat with this ROM at some point. It doesn't appear to be working anymore, just wondering what happened that broke it... You can use 'adb logcat' from your computer. You can also use logcat from Terminal Emulator with following commands: su logcat [/code] Write to file: [code] su logcat > /sdcard/filename.txt Edited January 16, 2012 by KonstaT
Guest Davidoff59 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 I can confirm that I flashed the rom only and no extras. its stock R9 bit thanks for the reply, will have a deeper look.
