rubiX Focused 1.6
- Thread starter drod2169
- Start date
Sorry, was planning on responding by finding one of the dozens of previous times it was asked in this thread... the one in particular I was looking for, was the one that drod responded to, saying that there were only a few tweaks, etc.
At this point, I'd say it's just a preference thing... *shrug*
Ya, sorry. the install script in that patch is broken. :S I haven't had time to mess with it. :S
More testing required... but currently bound by time.. I only get 2-3 mins free at a time... :S

Koreaz - Here is my average usage pattern for any given day and is producing 24+ hours of life (although 7 hours of that I am sleeping) with stock volt/speed:
Background stuff:
- LP+ Twitter widget updating every hour
- Corporate email to Push for email, calendar, contacts
- Gmail syncing calendar, contacts, email
- Doggcatcher set to update feeds every 8 hours
- WB elite update every hour
- Beautiful Widgets Calendar/Weather refresh every hour/at wake
- Battery Manager Profile 8:30A - 5:30P for off-peak, turn off data after 15 minutes, peak time leave on
- Display set to Auto-Bright
App usage
- average 30 minutes of phone use throughout day
- few texts here and there
- 45 minutes - 1hour of active web surfing each morning when I get up
- approximately 10 minutes of active use every hour either surfing, reading twitter, or playing a game
- listen to podcast on Doggcatcher total of 1.5 - 2 hours during commute
- Read ebook through either Wattpad or Kindle for about 1.5 hours a day
Sure I am missing a few things but that is the big stuff
Edit: Forgot to mention that between 8:15A and 6:00P I am on 3g only. The rest of the time I am on wifi.
Edit2: Wifi service always on (even when I have no plans to use it), Bluetooth always off, and GPS service only on when I need it.

Sephtin - Don't mind you sharing my set of steps at all. You made me famous and, hopefully, it may help someone else too
Drae123 - Tried looking in the usage stats bug got the usual FC. I did get in successfully yesterday and though it is not exact figures I know phone idle/cell standby were listed as the highest battery users. IIRC it said they used 70-80% between the two of them and, though I don't remember the exact figure, display was listed as a single digit %. This supports the fact that Battery Usage stats are borked right now and that their listings are cosmetic only.

Not a Problem thanks for the update. I look forward to a fixed version. Any idea when that may be out?

Thanks for some input Sephtin, I guess I'll stick with my preferred 1.0
Problems I've Noticed With This ROM...
First off I LOVE this ROM. It's very fast and clean!
I have LauncherPro installed and have uninstalled the launcher that came with the ROM.
Two things I've noticed so far:
- Car Home won't launch. I downloaded and installed it from the Market, but it won't launch.
- I have a hard time getting the phone to charge or connect to my Mac via USB. It charges fine using the same cable plugged into the wall though. I've only noticed this since installing this ROM.
Anyone else experiencing this?

--Car Home, requires 2 files... pretty sure that you just need the CarHomeLauncher.apk.
The patch below has both the car dock, and the launcher... You can install both, and test, if you want the updated car-dock from market, just remove the cardock.apk from /system/app after installing the patch.

HTH!
I can vouch for doing a "clean" install to fix battery life issues.
Its a PITA getting the apps you want again.. but write down the important ones first. I didn't let google restore either. And the only thing I did restore from Titanium was only the data for angry birds.
My issues seem to have been resolved. Tho I haven't had a "normal" day yet. we'll see tomorrow.

Just wanted to ask and see if you have made any progress getting the multimedia desk working on Focused yet...I think its the only thing I have realized that I missed from Blurry (well besides the working speed dial
Thanks
I don't know if drod has had a chance to look at it, but there are framework components (blur?) that are required for it to work. Drod is pretty set on not including blur in the ROM..
BUT, if we can figure out what's required, an unofficial patch could easily be made... *shrug*
If someone comes up with something, that'd be awesome.. but nothing that I know of as of yet...
Seems to be working fine... sounds weird.. but could you install focused again without wiping data/cache to see if that makes a difference?

The script is easy. Delete a file, install another one. When I run the install, it says it's doing both... but no actual changes are made. :S
Lemme see what I can do... but no promises. :S
Should be working now...
