[RELEASE] Steel Droid: 5.6 - Ice Cream Sandwich - 6-8-2012

[Yonnor]

mine is the extended and i was running v5.5 and was getting amazing battery but i think im ok with this atm it seems to not be so bad right now since i switched the governor...

mmkay thats good! I'll flash back to v5.6 to see if I run into any similar issues and see if I can help ya guys out at all. Hopefully it was just your phone getting used to the new clock-speed and battery cycle

Well normally I give it about a week to figure out what's going on but the oc still killed it..also I've never been able to run my phone down all the way I'm always busy on it but like I said...when I switched the gov it seems to be a lot better I just wasn't sure which one to try and "ondemand" sounded like wat I need lol

I run the stock battery and mine just gets owned by the overclocking lol.
Newb question, what is the governor as I am curious on how I can change it so that I can have better battery life.

As for switching to 5.5, I have run 5.5 and I might switch back soon on the account of the battery life, and the fact that my normal camera worked on 5.5. On 5.6 it isn't working for me =/

The governor is something that can control the speed of the cpu or the clock and I'm hoping the ondemand setting is wat I think it is and only boosts when its needed...

To get to it go to settings>rom control>performance>scaling governor

The default I think it is set to hotplug

Hope that helps a little...there's a bunch of different governors I think about 6 total...boostedass seems like it wants to keep it as high as possible so thhe only one that sounded good to me was the ondemand one and I learned that you have to check "set at boot" or it won't hold

I've tried downloading from your dev-host site, and the dl's hang. Does anyone have a mirror dl or can someone send me the file?

If your using the stock browser, try Dolphin HD or Opera and it should alleviate that problem.

Does Opera (I presume the full version, Opera Mobile) work for you against Steel? I get a blank screen, and assumed it was because of the hardware codecs issue (like Google Chrome).

Lol not sure, i personally use Dolphin HD, I just was suggesting multiple alternate browsers. I guess i should suggest ones that actually work next
time :3 lol

EDIT: Ok so Opera Mini works fine, Opera Mobile blank screens. O_o

I've used ie9, google chrome, opera, and firefox13 on the laptop w/ non-hacked aircard; on the phone, I was using Dolphin HD. This is the first time I've ever had an issue with a d/l. I used my aircard for the last 7 weeks on all my PB and kat.ph stuff with zero issues. Hmmm.... The only other thing I can do is try on a home network when I get back next week.

Edit: Something else of note, every download of his on the dev host site doesn't fully d/l for me. I just downloaded mav4.0 and some random boot animations from here with no issues.

thats really weird...guess the site just doesnt like your pc...lol
