And if I use Foursquare theres times where it puts me way off from where I am and sometimes wont refresh. Any clues?

not seeing any issues here...

the guy that's coding that blueputdroid program i was testing, says from what he understands there's something in the stock htc stack that limits what it can do.
i'd rather not flash cyanogenmod or anything like that to try it if its possible to just switch stacks

anythings possible, but I know nothing about the BT stack.....if there is info/files out there that fix it or replace it, I can add to the ROM...

As for battery life. I have to say this. I use my phone from 6am til 6pm every day with my BT in my ear. I get the same battery life no matter what rom I'm using (pretty much). Depending on the number of a calls (and length) and tethering, I might have to charge in the car a bit on the road. It's no more than what I had with my TP2 phone. I'm happy with the battery life mainly because I got a big phone and it does what I want.

A new BT stack would be nice. Tired of having it cut off when giving me direction.

HOWEVER ... I do have one question. Where is Titanium Backup on this ROM? After flashing 30 times, I can guarantee it's not in either 4.4 or 4.5. I had to download it to restore my settings. It does not show up in the menu. Also ... reinstalling the removed apps seems to be an impossible task. Nothing I did would get Footprints back. It won't flash, moved it to /system (no go)... dunno what to do next. Even tried a flashable version that someone posted. It said it was corrupt and invalid. So I gave up.

TB is in the ROM, just open the zip file & check in OMJ_EVO_2.2_Froyo_v4.5_deodexed.zip\data\app\

do u have apps2sd setup?

as far as pushing removed apps back to system\app....I found this post in aamikams thread, I don't know it to be a fact but he says you have to set permissions after pushing....

That means "long press" the app you just pasted and scroll down the options "Set Permissions" to "644" which in the graphical display in Root Explorer means "User=RW", "Group=R" and "Others=R".

I personally have not had much experience doing it this way, I am mostly at home around my computer and find

adb remount" 
followed by 
adb pull /sdcard/Removed_Apps/"appfullname" . (the dot after the space following the app you want puts the pulled file in whatever MS-Dos directory you are in when you issue the adb command) and then push the file by:
adb push "appfullname" /system/app
 
and then:
adb reboot

is more foolproof for me at least.
Edit: the reason the Widgets don't like the "Copy in Root Explorer" seems to be the fact that they retain the "system" and "sdcard_r" Owner and Group properties when they are cut and pasted. (any real experts out there that can help us out on this??)

the guy also started this thread with more info...

My phone sits and idles all day with a few texts here and there and emails every so often... No changes made any different on the new 4.5rom when upgrading so I don't see why the increase in drastic battery lost.

However, I do see the increase in resource uses when I go to the battery monitor with 4.5 (with nothing changed of course and only the upgrade from 4.2 to 4.5). I'm sure it's a fluke so be it that it is. Too bad for me with the crappy battery life. Once I get sick of it, i'll probably switch back to 4.2 again.

the difference between 4.2 & 4.5 is 4.2 is based on the stock RUU, and 4.5 is based off aamikams re-engineered rom. 4.5 should technically have better battery life, but who knows....

I'm not a heavy user, there are times my phone sits idle awhile too....I've made it a habit to bump charge every morning, even though I don't need the extra battery.....every morning when I 1st take it off the charger, it's down to 95% within minutes, then around 90% soon after. I charge back up to 100%, and it makes a big difference....right now after 5 hrs, I'm at 88%.

yep, and by default it auto starts

but then u would miss out on the adb fun!

All I know is- same stock kernel, same apps/data/settings (restored with Titanium), same usage pattern, etc., etc. I get great battery life on 4.2 and not so good on 4.5. I tried the same Mikfroyo ROM that OMJ's 4.5 is based off of ( same batt,apps,usage yada yada) and had the same results there. Maybe it is indeed a phone to phone thing.

must be something w/ his base then....


oh & btw....it's been over 2 weeks since I've emailed Koush (ROM MGR dev) to update my new script path....still havent heard from him.....just sent another email, if I don't get a response, ROM Manager will be pulled from my future ROMs!!!
