How much can be expected from a beta? And its a port no less. I'm running it right now, and battery life isn't too bad. Are you signed into HTC hub, and have Google backing up your info, and syncing Facebook and stuff? That will chew battery up pretty quick.

WOW, your first post is to complain on such a talented developer....Go elsewhere and troll.

Make sure your awake and up times aren't exactly the same. If so, your phone could have problems sleeping. The fix for that is flashing a PRI downgrade to 1.77. Also, which kernel are you using? I'm using the same Rom with netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-bfs-sbc-havs-more-universal-signed and getting great battery life.

ive heard alot about that problem that and having to switch to amon ra have scared me away from flashing the rom.. but if that fixes that issue i might have to man up and flash

It's a beautiful rom and I haven't had any performance issues. The install process wasn't too difficult but before you switch your recovery app and go through the SD wipe process you might want to follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061615 -- as it seems to be developing fast and will have a lot of the sense 3.0 features.

Hey Andeese you are running toast? I thought sense kernels broke camera. Was this fixed in B3. The gb kernel that virus suggested works pretty good.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

It only breaks the viewfinder for the camera and camcorder applications. So you'll see a whitescreen rather than what the camera is actually seeing; however, the pictures and videos taken will be fine. So you have to eyeball your pictures and then open them up in gallery to see how they look. It's slightly inconvenient but it's better than using the stock ginger kernel if you have a novatek screen(100% brightness with stock kernel).

I noticed earlier that there was some "lagging" in a video I had just recorded. Does the toast kernel have that "lagging" issue? How can you tell if you have nova screen?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

The stuttering in video is apparently going to be addressed in the next revision of that rom. I forgot about that. =\ The best way to identify which screen you have is: Adjust your brightness up or down. If it fades rather than instantly becoming brighter or darker than it is a nova. If you get an instant screen adjustment you have an epson.

Thanks bro you just saved me bout an hour of reading lol

Yeah, the threads in the development forums tend to be filled with unnecessary chatter. It's ridiculously hard to find answers to questions I've had. =\

Latest Leaked Update Issues

Since the thread got closed for who knows what, let's build a list of known issues, fixes and whatever else...
For one, my brightness didn't work, so I flashed Kernel #15 which fixed that issue. Now my camera only shows a white screen.
BTW, I looked for a similar thread, but didn't find one. I tend to miss things sometimes though.

I'm pretty sure the thread got closed, because wdfowty requested it be closed. Based on a comment he made in the thread, I presume he requested the thread be closed because of the ridiculous, juvenile, and inappropriate tags that people were leaving. So as usual, the thread was closed due to people acting like 3 year old kids.
Anyways, on your topic, I have fortunately not encountered any of the bugs that other people have mentioned in the thread. Everything I've been able to test so far is working perfectly. The only thing that I wish, is that HTC released the leak with Sense 2.1. I want a 2.1 sense rom with working 4g!!!
Right, people have been acting so ridiculously here lately.
Back on topic, camera with kernel 15 seems to be my only issue. Anybody got a link to just the kernel on the new leak? I would rather have my camera rather than brightness adjustable. Unfortunately.

When I turn on the camera/camcorder to take a pic/record, the screen appears all white. However, if you take a picture, it comes out but looks a little fuzzy. If I try to record a video in mpeg4, it will record but force close when it tries to save it. If I try to record a video using H.264, it force closes immediately. I tried clearing the data of the camera app and that did not help.
Weird.
I'm downloading Virus's version which has the camera fixed, but it may be just for pics. I think video still may be borked, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am running Netarchy's 4.3.4 kernel with the leaked 2.3 update.
Yea, the issue I had was brightness lock, fixed with kernel 15, which left me with the white screen camera.

i got my to work with everyting, but with the stock kernel.
I have a hardware 002 which I don't think is an Epson screen. I can not change the brightness on the leaked ROM. When I try to flash HTC Kernel 15 the phone won't boot it gets past the HTC EVO white screen but then hangs up right before the Boot Animation. You can tell the screen is on but nothing ever happens...

Do you mean the stock kernel that came with the leaked update, or the previousw stock kernel #15 like Rydah is using? I may just re-flash it with the stock kernel for now.
Or, just nandroid back to Myn's rom until all the wrinkles get ironed out. I don't see so much of an improvement so as to keep a buggy rom when it was working perfectly before.

ok - not to be a **** or anything but this begs the question:
Why do you WANT blur on your phone? Everyone i know with a blurred motorola phone struggles to make it blurless and wants to remove that crap as much as possible - it is a serious detriment to performance and battery life.

yea im aware of the many issues, i still have alot of work left with this rom, about landscape mode it should be working just fine even with the keyboard out, also the browser im not sure as i havent fixed wifi so i cant use the internet on the rom. And yes i figured gps was not working again iv got no internet so i have no way of fixing that, i need wifi for that XD. anyways im glad you guys like it.

Because this version of blur is different from the others and better, and well because we on the g2 forums deserve variety, other than the 3 classic roms, sense,cm7 or miui. And no i dont think this rom will drain that much battery or affect performance, our gpu's beats the crap out of the omap that the droids have.
Also found that when calling someone it will restart the phone and it will keep you on the call till the os finishes reloading.

i'm guessing this is based on the Droid X GB leak - the blur is different than the blur on 2.2? My girlfriend was running stock 2.2 on the DX and getitng like 12 hrs of battery life. Then running Liberty 2.1 (blurless 2.2 based) she was getting 24 hours +. I flashed her over to the Liberty GB alphas (has a lot of blur in it) and have yet to see how the batt life is.
What i do know is that if you look @ running services (on the DX Liberty GB) and use an app like autostarts to see the on startup apps - blur has a whole ton of blur stuff that runs in the background from startup on - unrelated to ui changes and widgets.
What i fail to understand is not manufacturer ui (which differentiates) but why it has to be baked in so deep into the OS and kernel that it makes it impossible to remove if - god forbid - you want a more stock experience.
I have a lot of respect for any dev who brings more variety and software choice for our phones and i dont mean to undermine his work. I guess i just get pissed that companies like motorola make it so hard to go stock (particularly mess with that damned bootloader) that they would rather u ruin your device (i soft bricked my gf's droid x once and the only way to get back to stock is a complete SBF flash - a rare turn of events that i've never had the displeasure of running into on an HTC phone).
On a related note to this ROM, i noticed on Liberty GB (but not on Liberty 2.x) you can remove stuff from the notification area because there is a minus button (ie you dont have to clear all notifications or click on the notification itself to clear it - there is a button that enables its removal). Is this part of blur? I'd love to see this ported to AOSP.

[Q] EI22 rotation lag?

First, can you make your title more clearer...Like EI22 rotation lag?
And second, try the calibration again. I haven't seen mention of this yet, but if more users show up with it then I am sure someone will make a lag fix on it.
Well I'll throw my vote in on this... I have lag and hor. cal. doesn't do it.

Have you tried doing the horizontal calibration with the screen upside down? That used to fix my rotation lags on froyo. Something about using it with the screen facing up always made it lag instead of fixing it.. If that don't work u might have to try using terminal emulator and see if that helps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
See Gingerbread Horizontal Calibration and these posts: my calibration question and jbadboy2007's response and jt1134's rebuttal.
The short story is that there is no known calibration method for GB, whether on a stock-based ROM or AOSP, such as CM7.
* Note: jt1134 is one of the CM7 devs, therefore I feel pretty confident he knows what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure jbadboy2007 is experienced as well.
Did you experience lag on froyo at all or is this a new thing?

I don't know if you're addressing the OP or me (probably OP), but I'll go ahead and tell ya I had rotation lag with a couple of different Froyo ROM flashes.
using the /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha I was always able to minimize the lag, though if I had a number of different home screens filled with apps it would still lag a bit more than a virgin ROM flash (not unexpected).
The "new thing" is that now there is no known fix for rotation lag*, which sucks.
* At least with CM7. The sensorcalibutil_yamaha fix may still work with stock-based ROMs in GB, I've just never tried any GB except for CM7.

Bringing this thread back I guess, instead of making a new one. I'm having a big issue with 2-3 second rotation lag. Tried the upside down horizontal calibration and no go. Just throwing my hat in the ring in hopes that someone will find a fix.

From the original thread:
* For other GB ROMs the fix should be basically the same, though I would recommend using the framework.jar from that specific ROM. (Maybe other, more experienced devs would like to shed some light on this topic? Would this framework.jar or flashable .zip be safe to try with other GB ROMs?)
So it may be usable...

Bumping this again. Praying that someone can make a fix for this issue. It is plaguing my experience. Otherwise it is outstanding. I repeatedly tried the upside down calibration and it has not worked.
The framework.jar from my rom has the fix. Take that file and then calibrate on a flat surface.

That's weird, I'm actually on your V4 ROM now. I could possibly reflash. Or I guess I could just drop that file over the old one, that's prob easier. Or maybe time to upgrade to V5 huh. Thanks for the response.

Ok so, wow. I dropped the same framework.jar I already had over the old one, and the calibration tool in settings> display works. Very weird. But someone should mark this as solved in case it needs to be done separate from flashing a ROM.

Best ICS Rom

PreludeDrew, Kush Deck or JaredTheGreat? Wondering what people are running out of the three ICS roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I installed Team Blaze's (Jared) newest ICS last night and was running Drew's prior to. I would say at this point they are almost the same... each one is making improvements... As for my experience... Jared's is solid and I haven't ran into anything broken. There are some things a little buggy (like TTS errors when opening Navigation, but TTS working just fine) but I haven't found anything broken. They are all working on making the camera better and it works on Jareds. These aren't final releases so I am good with what I have! Can't wait until these things get smoothed out as ICS is tight.
Jared The Great all the way baby.
ICS Question
I have been following these ROMS.
At least on the home screen they appear to be still pretty buggy.
I don't know if the MMS is working, the camera, all that stuff.
Just curious if someone can tell me what I need to expect after installing.
I am currently using Synergy non-god mode and hate it. It is SO LAGGY. It takes a good 15 seconds to get the icons to populate my home screen. I need a new rom and was wondering if these were worth switching too.
Thanks all.

Switch to MIUI. It is the fastest, most customizeable rom out there.

He was asking about ICS not MIUI if I'm reading the first post correctly. MIUI fanboys are as bad as apple fanboys...
I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.
james
I have run both Jared's and Drew's. Both solid build... both buggy as hell. They are still working on them. To be honest... the best one right now will probably be the one with the latest release.
Decks Alpha 5 for me with CoD tweaks. I haven't tried any of the other ones but this one is rock solid for me. There are quirks but any rom has those. Honestly I have better battery life on this then I ever have had before.

I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.

Uh yeah i know wut he was asking..i can read too. But ics isnt that great. Its gb with a theme and add that quick app thingy.
MIUI is actually different in looks as well as useability. And Im not a fanboy. It just is the best all around rom. Alot of people dont like the iphone like no app drawer as do i. But once u have one in miui it is by far the best rom available. For sure it is the least laggiest evo rom. And by the way these are facts. And if u disagree u must be a ics fanboy or just a straight up MIUI hater. Bu bye!

Gentlemen, best is predetermined to be biased upon your own preferences; there is no right answer here. Yes, ICS does have some nice features, like improved voice commands, better folder management, ect. And for MIUI yes it is a lil 'iphone' like in essence, but different from all the rest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you change the launcher, you fix the 'no app drawer' issue, which some people tend not to like.

Yea ur right. There is no right answer. I was just telling the guy on synergy that was laggy. That miui has no lag. And that other guy starts saying im a fanboy, thinking im referring to the OP. When i clearly quoted who i was replying to, and it got me in a **** talking mood. Sorry..my bad
And yea u can install a different launcher, but it takes away the uniform of MIUI, so i just made me a folder on the dock and put all the apps not on my screen in it

gpad 8.3 laggy wobbly scrolling

I had a Note 8 for a short time which had this issue but ive noticed it on my gpad 8.3 v500 when its in landscape.
The issue is when im scrolling the screen one side lags behind the other if you do it quickly enough...so if i do it Up and down it gives a wobble effect. Noticable in netflix too.
Has anyone had this? Im hoping its a jellybean issue as i said my note 8 was the same.
Not a deal breaker but it does bug me.
What rom are you on?

Have you installed any background-running apps that may cause this problem? I don't know what can cause screen stuttering like you have. Have you thought about installing CM? It works great and is 1000 times faster than stock

Yes i have thought about it......but id need an idiots guide as ive never done that before...
Also im sure ive read 4.4 ota is coming soon , so i was going to hang on for it....
Is there a guide out of interest?
There are only guides for root and recovery, CM is only wiping and flashing. I will post links when I get home (although I'm pretty sure you can find them yourself in the All things guide thread, I recommend TWRP)
The OTA 4.4 update is very far away, march at least (I have my sources)

No problem......yes i can research.....thanks for replying
Try enabling the developer options (you dont need root and a howto can be found on google) and turn off all the transitions and see if your lag goes away.
Just giving this a bump
LBJM i hadnt seen your reply , so i will give it a try when i get home..
I flashed CM11 onto my Gpad but i didnt like it ( personal preference) ive now got the latest Mahdi Rom which is very much like the Nexus5 that i was wanting.
but still i get this lag in Lanscape mode when im scrolling up and down....one side lags to give a wobble effect.

In all apps or only in some? I see a stutter in certain apps that do not cache things far enough ahead (i.e. twitter) when I have the client configured to show the twitpics. However once I know everything is loaded I can scroll up and down without any stuttering problem. Some browsers also have this problem since they also only seem to load in memory the stuff that is rendered on the screen...
Based on what you describe I'm not certain that your wobble and my stutter are the same thing though...
Bump
Ive just gone back to Stock LG for the KitKat update and i still get the scrolling wobble effect in landscape.
Its not a deal breaker but it just bugs me....im suprised no one else has seen this.
its noticable in netflix when you scroll quickly
