Guest dt_matthews Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ok here you go then guys, softkeys update zip and one to remove them too. Only tested on 25th Feb release do not try on another release and moan at me when you get bootloops! Bear in mind i purposely disabled the button backlight in this as i am exclusively using on screen buttons now. Enable soft keys. http://www.mediafire.com/?kxpc5er5z4594t9 Disable soft keys. http://www.mediafire.com/?28ibwx17ikiqm24 Credit is in the updater script.

Guest rangeoshun Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi! Great progress, virtually no reboots for me. Most of my apps are running as they should. But the battery drain is quite extensive. I made a logcat for a few hours until it almost ran out of charge. For most of the time it was "sleeping", then made a wordcloud out and this is what I got: And the full log: http://pastebin.com/S9SX8Ef0 Hope this helps :) Keep up the great work dudes!

Guest plegdroid Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 with regards to battery drain, would systemui have anything to do with this as this is on constant? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KMT2K Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 My battery runs like a bulldozer on the latest build! It's amazing! I've had it on since say, 3am this morning when it was fully charged, now down at 78% with full brightness etc, it's a beast of a battery. And no reboots. Music player isn't working, but I used a far better 3rd party one. Also, I don't understand this deep sleep thing but I get what you mean, cos the three buttons at the bottom wake the phone, never does that on any other ROM, but this is a beastly ROM, glad I have it.

Guest bulazs Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Everything is fine for me, except the video playback. It is laggy for me, on the formats that worked flawlessly in ice armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 with regards to battery drain, would systemui have anything to do with this as this is on constant? System ui needs to be obviously. Its status bar etc! I'm sure deep sleep is battery drain culprit. Phone always wakes on front keys and shouldn't.

Guest MCZQ Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) In my testing with the cresent if you disable wifi it made a huge difference to battery. Default was (is?) to keep it on 24/7 and not to sleep. Also what kernel issues were causing the crashing/reboots? I dont think you answered me. Also whats the latest on HW acceleration? I think its safe to assume it doesnt work? Edited February 28, 2012 by MCZQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tilal6991 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Can you say how you tested the acceleration? People having issues with media playback it doesnt sound like its working yet. That's hardware decoding not HWA. HWA is just the acceleration of the UI. HW decoding doesn't work - I know about that.

Guest bulazs Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Can you say how you tested the acceleration? People having issues with media playback it doesnt sound like its working yet. I tested it with http://ubuntuone.com...llxNlpDo4LQGXUZ this movie. I specifically encoded it to my phone, with ffmpeg, to make use of hardware acceleration. It plays nicely in CM7, in ICS it is laggy. Could you pls try it out, and see if it works for you? Thanks! *EDIT: Ohh, i see tilal is aware of this problem already, so ignore this. Edited February 28, 2012 by bulazs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just to make a couple of things clear - there is a distinction between HWA and HWD. HWA(Hardware acceleration) is the use of the GPU to render the UI. This is what is working in the ROM right now as it is really smooth and lagfree. HWD(Hardware decoding) is the use of the GPU to play videos. This will not work and will take a significant amount of effort to get it working on our devices.

Guest sergeant_tito Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 is there any proximity sensor calibration tool? i think that in the older ROM there was but i cant find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MCZQ Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 thanks for clearing up the difference with the two accelerations. I just got puzzled after I saw the kernel commits for "Overclock GPU to a crazy level" I mean surely such simple things like GUI rendering should work perfectly on a non overclocked GPU, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overclocking just increases the performance by just a bit extra. It's like CPU overclocking - you don't need it but most phones have it.

Guest akaladba Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 This ROM is great, thankyou tilal! I can't seem to log into grooveshark though, it says something about a connectivity problem. Has anyone else managed to get grooveshark to work?

Guest mazzemazze Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 using the Ninesky Browser is an absolutly replacement for the chrome browser. it works very smooth in this rom. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ninesky.browser&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5uaW5lc2t5LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
