I was curious if themes had an effect on the phones performance. Like speed or battery life. I have noticed my battery draining rather fast.
well.......................
If you ever worked on a car, the more you pretty it up with suff like bodykits, big wings that scream point me to the airport and stuff of the like, the car has to work harder and uses more gas. Same rules apply
Hopefully that answers your ? In a round about way
Thank you, come again
Yea but it looks Badass getting there!
I agree, cars except the stupid wing and themes look badass but I am all about performance,which themes and bodykits take away from
I agree i have noticed that themes did slow down my g1 drain more battery and general giving a few more fc. Although it does make the ui look great. Maybe someone should test to see if there really is a diffrence and not a placebo effect
i agree with you pistol but you are asking the phone to do more so the normal way would be that it would drain more battery and slowit down a little bit
I have gone like you and am now running themeless
Most themes don't do much besides change system images. The images are only replaced so it's not too much different than stock. As long as the images are optimized, it shouldn't have much affect. If there are mods in the theme itself, that's where things can get weird. Besides a few FC's sometimes, themes have minimal affect on performance from what I can tell.
Well someone shpuld at least try and see if there is a diffrence with a theme. Its worth a shot we maybe surprised woth the results. I wish I could I dnt have the time unfourtantly.

I agree.
I'd like to know for sure what the differences are with/without a theme.
I don't know the first thing about benchmarking a phone so I'm gonna leave this one up to someone else.
honestly the reasons your bats are draining are because PROBABLY your doing things that will drain it
ie going on xda via the phone browser, using any apps for a period of time,taking pictures, you get what im saying? i havent had any battery issuses when using themes. maybe you are all a little paranoid?
I just might be, wait what was that, oh just my shadow

Can it be ported to our phones?
I think if we could get this working everyone would most likely be grateful.
Let me know what everyone thinks. Im just throwing the idea and hopefully inspiration out there to try and get this working.
i was looking at it a while back, didnt really take a lot of time at it though. ill check into it a bit more, see what i can do
Thanks man its appriciated I see your doing alot for the forum now so im just throwing out a good work.
if this gives us a huge speed increase on the stock htc kernel with its battery life and quick charge time, it'd be tit.
Yea personally my phone lags out more then id like. Usually its when texting which i assume is because i use a 3rd party app and because i usually have a few thousand texts in my inbox but still any kind of boost without sacrificing battery would be AWESOME.

yea but to be honest, i dont think there is such thing as a completely smooth sense rom. i mean skyraider and frankenrom were close with a good kernel but i think if we got this to work to take a load off the UI/system it would be alot smoother, no little "glitches" or hiccups ya kno
Even if it's not 100% smooth if it helps without the need of overclocking well that's just great

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I never get lag, not sure what you are doing to yours but your are definitely doing something wrong. I have had Droid 1 users comment on how smooth the Incredible was compared to the Droid.
I am running stock rom which I deodexed and zipaligned and removed verizon bloat from. I also delete texts before they get 1000+ long. I never understood wht people kept them that long, blackmail later on?
I would love to see this on the Incredible though, I actually came looking to see if anyone was working on this.
if what I'm reading is correct, this might be the best performance tweak that could make roms truly fly.
I certainly would appreciate it tremendously.

Cyanogen just tweeted they will support no phones with this. Why is that? Is this a bad hack or something?
But the speed increase looks phenomenal! I'd be down for this in ROMs.

Well it seems like porting it is tricky in the second link I posted it says how the phone doesn't wanna act right after a reboot. Hmm well maybe we will get lucky and get this working on our phones.

So only r2does is willing to tackle this?
Hmm I really thought people would be more excited.
no sure if im going to have a chance any time soon though, busy with the GRH build, plus i got finals next week.
people may not be interested because it doesnt seem like theres a large following. CM already said that d2ext will recieve NO support from him or his team.
Did the cm team say why they would not support this? Is it too much different work for each device and thus not easy to develop as a common rom?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Per @cyanogen
Using the data2ext hack on CM ROMs will get you no support from us. You have been warned
Well this is the forbidden hack now
I dont mind waiting but i dont see why people arent excited i mean this would seemingly get rid of the need to overclock and with your phones which have very well known bad battery life that seems amazing to me.

I came from a Droid 1 and yea huge difference but its COMPPETELY smooth... I don't keep a million texts and for the most part it is smooth but you do have to admit you get an occaisional hiccup or the lock screen slider isn't too smooth idk I love it wayyyyyy better than any other phone ui though
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah, just like they probably won't support ROMs that have any sort of other mod of their ROM... and with good reason. You wouldn't support something you made if someone else screwed it up by adding a bunch of modifications or changing system files.
Gingerbread ROMs are going to be worthless until the source drops or a ROM leaks from another phone anyway. Why not work on something worth while in the mean time instead of something that's going to be completely abandoned in a month or so?
He went on to say later that the reason that they would not be supporting it is that #1 it is his belief that it is a benchmark hack, with no other use. #2 If you move the data partition to the SD (or better yet, we have 8gb of internal storage, which is probably faster transfers) when you try to wipe between roms, you leave a bunch of garbage behind and possibly have issues. Then the *****ing starts and everybody thinks it's because of your rom, but really it was just that the whole partition didn't get wiped.
So, I'm not a complete noob, been flashing roms since around February.
I do however have a noob-ish question, that I've put off asking for awhile now, in hopes that I would find an answer first!
I absolutely adore Cezar's roms (I wonder if he's single... oh wait, wrong forum) and I like Serendipity VII as well.... but neither seem to have the battery life that GR-12 does on my phone. (definitely more than 18-20 hrs)
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions and or first hand on this? I want to rock Continuum, but battery life is important for me... sometimes at work without the opportunity to charge.
I like GR-12 also, don't get me wrong... but the newer stuff comes with bells n whistles.... and yet, that damned battery gets in the way!
Thanks!

Wrong forum????
there are little things you can do to help save battery life and also apps in the market to aid with this sort of thing. I don' think your gonna be able to have the rom of your choice with the battery life of your choice .. how sweet that would be though.
Some kernels allow for UV and that will save you a little battery.. also make sure you don't have a lot of apps running at once.. or you status bar only has icon's up there that need to be.
Thanks Corey!!!
But, where should I start?
Is it really necessery to flash a custom ROM, or is this phone snappy enough with Sense (but I'll probably use GoLauncher or LauncherPro, I only use 1 homescreen...)?
Which tweaks are really necessery to make the phone's battery survive for more than 24 hours, when texting pretty much?
Perhaps the phone's battery survives even though I text a lot (between 100-500 texts/day, depending on how bored I am)?
How's the vibrator in this phone, can I have it in silent mode and have it in my pocket and actually notice when I get a text?
My current phone's vibrator is pretty crappy.
I've been browsing this forum for some time now but haven't found anything that answers my questions... I come from an Acer Liquid A1, without CM7 or MIUI that phone is probably one of the worst phones ever done. But, I sure hope this community is just as active as the one the Liquid had, and still have
(lol, "is this a question?" eh, it's many questions... )
oh, and one more thing; is this device brickable? or can you always reset it to default, like with the liquid? if something f...s up you can always boot into bootloader and reflash a *.bin
Help a newbie to get started, and flashing things and stuff is nothing new. Only the way to root it is new for me... :/

I don't think you need a custom ROM. See if the battery is good enough for your needs. Remember to drain the battery completely multiple times to "train" it.
On another note, why get such an expensive phone, just for texting? It's going to drain a lot of battery while you are looking at the screen. Might as well go for a feature phone imo.
You should easily get 24 + hours if all you do is text mainly. Just remember to turn data off. It will help make your battery last longer.

Well, my current phone dies pretty quickly when texting a lot. Today it went from 60% down to 5%, and I woke for 11hours ago and have been texting ppl since then.
And I'm buying a new phone since my 4 touch-buttons on this one is getting really weird, they only work sometimes and yesterday they all died so I was stuck in a conversation and had to reboot to get out of it.
And sending texts and stuff is what I mainly do, of course I browse the Internet, play games and everything. During school and such I only text people, and a lot. So I pretty much needs the phone to make more than 24hours without charging it, even though I text a lot and listen to music.
@NardVa;
Won't be a problem. Already thought of that
Thanks for the replies

I was going to suggest flashing, the stock rom is garbage for battery life. Android Revolution HD seems to be one of the more popular choices, but of course Cyanogen Mod is there if you decide the Sense UI isn't your thing

I've made up my mind now, I'll use the official GB ROM for a couple of days/weeks/months (basically untill I'm tired of Sense 2.1) and then flash a Sense 3.0 ROM and hopefully I can understand which one of all those RUU's that's made for Europe too when I'm bored of Sense 2.1
You don't happen to know how it is with bricking this phone? Can you always reset it to stock, or can you actually brick it for real so it's 100% unusable?
Well after being out of town for a week and not having my laptop I am finally home. Work has already began but, I am torn as to which way I will go. Right now I have a mix of Thriller 1.0.3 and ThaizD and I am thinking about ditching that and modding CM7 which will be a lot of work to get things working correctly. I am running my rom right now and posting from the XDA tapatalk app. There is still a lot of tweaking that needs to be done. I haven't even touched the theme yet, just a few tweaks.
I will hopefully be releasing a beta within the next week or so as long as I have enough time, been very busy lately. Just thought I would get the word out. So far everything is working well, which isn't saying much since I haven't really done any experimenting yet.
As of now I am calling it "No Frill Thrill" because it is going to be a very stripped down rom. I am trying to focus more on speed, battery, memory, GPS and theme. Users will be able to just restore data and get everything they had back.
Guess that's all the info I have for now. I will post updates now and then to let you guys know how progress is going.
I look forward to seeing what u can come up with. I'm sure everyone else will appreciate any advancements we can get. Really looking forward to the possibility of new kernels and more radios that can be flashed down the road. New theming alone would definitely make the UI better. This has got to be one of the ugliest and worst designed UI to come on a phone.

I might need some testers for pre release but that wont be for a while. Progress is coming along nicely though I will post some screenshots and a little bit more info once I get further. Right now I'm not happy with it enough to release any shots because things will be changing. Still not sure which kernel i am going to use nor am I sure of the theme right now looks kind of shoddy.
And just so you know, I have a lot going on so progress on my rom is slow things will be a little less hectic in the next week so things will really pick up then.

Well things are picking up now. I have added some extra tweaks to not just the build.prop but a few other places as well. Not getting too involved in this because GB is coming soon so this is just for fun and to improve our phone while we wait. Trekfan will hopefully be designing a nice theme/ui so thank him as well he hasnt actually agreed but I think from his offer in his last post its safe to say he will.
Lastly I think there will be a name change...

Well here's some screens of certain parts, pay no attention to the status bar I haven't really messed with that yet, like I said things are going slow but will pick up soon.
The first shot is of the dialer which I'm going to make all the buttons like #5 and smooth out the graphics and make them look much better.
Second shot is of the pop-up windows green glow border and orange load circle. This will also be changing in the future.
Third shot is just something stupid, changed the lock pattern circles to little android guys.
I have also edited the messaging app and will be doing much more once I get a few days of free time.
Name changed to Doomed Froyo
I cant wait to try it. Sounds like a good ROM. Got to give props to the developers for taking time developing apps for the Thrill.
Looks great, but the five button does look sort of ugly IMO, otherwise amazing job.

WooHoo thanks to Trekfan for putting together a very nice framework, it isn't quite done yet but what is there is looking very fancy!
Things that have been done:
Speed Tweaks
Memory Management Tweaks
Camera/Video Tweaks (Still working on some settings)
GPS Tweaks
DNS Tweaks
Ads Blocked with Host file
+ More
Things to do:
Add Wallpapers/Ringtones/Notification tones/Fonts +extras
Add extra apps (cpu master/XDA forum app + others)
Update Apps to newest versions
Finish framework theme (THANKS A TON TO TREKFAN)
Remove any bloat (always last thing for me to do....)
Finish altering contacts.apk, mms.apk and lghome.apk (coming along slowly I have been neglecting other things working on this stuff lol this may wait until the full release after beta)
There are many more things that will be done, screenshots of the INCOMPLETE theme will be coming today and hopefully we can have an official beta release this weekend. I hope everyone enjoys this ROM as it is meant to not only enhance our devices but also give everyone a bit of variety as the development on this phone is pretty stale. One thing that I hope to do is release flashable "themes" or frameworks so once you download the ROM you can then just download and flash .zips in CWM and have a variety of looks.
Another big THANK YOU goes out to gtg and all his work on the Thriller ROM and all the other guys over on the O3D forum keep up the good work everyone.
1. Screenshot of the plain desktop, things will be changing like the default wallpaper and the look of the launcher will be changed on post beta release.
2. Shot of the pulldown notification area.
3. Shot of the new check boxes, buttons have been changed as well.
4. Shot of the toasts, pop-ups, you can see the loading wheel in the top right and a bit more.
Things here and there may change, also the battery indicator goes from blue (full) to green to orange to yellow to red (low) there has been a lot more changed besides what you see so everyone thank Trekfan for all his hard work putting this together. THANKS TREK
Also, once this is released it will be in the Development section as of right now this is just general stuff that's why I posted it here, if the mods wish to move this thread to Development so be it and I will just update first.
For those of us who have bought the xda premium app... The one in the rom doesnt uninstall properly... Pain in the butt.. Haha just sayin... Yeah I need to fix acouple of things in the theme... I got a few inconsistincies... Will work on it tomorrow morning and afternoon... And will upload, with some new screenshots

Wanted to give CM a shot again, getting the same results as the last time i tried it.
My results with pinnacle 1.2:
Everyday I leave for work at 630, and when i leave at ~3, depending on how much i use the phone, im usually at 70-80 percent.
If i dont use my phone at all, and am in an area of good service. It usually drains at about 1% per hour.
My results with CM7 nightly - stock kernel
I left for work today at 630, have barely used the phone, because i wanted to test its standby drain, and im already at 70 percent (down 30% in 5 hours) The performance is great, but i cant live with battery life like this.
Is there anything i can do to fix this? And please dont tell me to do things like turn off sync, and all that crap, because i bought the ****ing phone in order to do these things. If i wanted a phone that was just a phone, i would have gotten a blackberry or some other regular phone.
If i can do these things in pinnacle and get good battery life, im not going to give them up in cm just to get battery life that is closer to pinnacle.

Just my opinion, but if battery life was better for you on another rom, and that's important to you, why switch?
If you're really looking at CM7, maybe you should research what modem you had on pinnacle and see if there is a CM'ed version of that one available. That alone could be part of what you're seeing. You could also try a kernel like Glitch and see if OC/UV is something that would help. Also take a look at the battery stats and see which processes are near the top - that's usually an indicator of what areas of the phone you should focus on first.
And, although I understand you're frustrated, please watch the language.

Because as stable and good on battery as it was, i just needed something different. And dont get me wrong, I love CM7. Its awesome besides the battery issue.
I started this thread before i flashed to try to get an idea of what i should use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347952
Someone did make that modem for CM, but from what i hear, the call quality isnt great, and the other person hears a lot of static. Weird because its awesome in Pinnacle.
Going to try glitch, but i wanted to get an idea of how the stock kernel worked before comparing it to glitch. Probably will end up doing a OC/UV, but i wanna at least see if i can get decent battery first before i do that.
Cell standby is accounting for double of what anything else is listed is, which hopefully means that if i get a better modem, then it might fix that.
And didnt mean to come off as an ass, i just hate when people suggest things like that to fix battery issues. Ive read in other threads people suggesting that, and really, why even have a smartphone if your gonna limit it that much? I dont go crazy with any widgets or any apps that would cause that, but turning off sync and things like that are just crazy.

Sounds like a good plan. If you haven't checked it out yet, I think that Oxicottin has a list of modems and where they work somewhere in the Dev thread - that might be a place to start your search for modems.
you call quality sucks because CM7 lacks the audience chip support that is native to all I897 ROMS.
So again call quality and great battery life or CM7? You might want to try some of the newest KK2 Rom builds like Luminance or Legendary.
