[WIP][ROM][2.3.7]LeWa Madness Alpha3

**twtippets** · 02-29-2012, 06:07 AM

I am a big fan of this ROM. Fantastic work! I highly recommend this. Very easy to use and lots of cool features.

**sundash22** · 02-29-2012, 09:42 AM

Is anyone else noticing this ROM is draining the battery? I went from 100% to 70% in like 90 minutes with wifi off an my phone basically asleep the whole time. Any tips for extending battery life? I have setCPU to underclock my processor with the screen off and I know wifi can drain the battery, so I have that off when not in use. I really like this ROM but the battery drain may be a deal breaker for me. Anybody else noticing a similar issue or is it just me?

Truth be told, wifi actually saves battery, unless you have it on with no wifi signals present (constantly searching for a wifi signal drains bad!). Usually it is one of the radios that causes battery drain, either phone or data.

The themes work, as long as you extract the individual files to the root of the sd. You can't just leave them in a folder. It makes my sd card look like a mess, but when you press import in the theme app it will add them to the lewa theme folder. Then you can delete them from the root to clean it up after. There are a few Themes that are making the app crash. So you will have to import one by one. It's a pain in the ****, but you have themes, and pretty good themes at that.

I have my phone overclocked with wifi on, while I'm in wifi zones, and I've been running hard since 7:00 est this morning and am now down to 93%. Not too bad. I've seen worse. Aesthetically this ROM is one of the best, but some really awesome features.

**SpadeOfAces** · 02-29-2012, 01:53 PM

This is definitely my new daily driver. No crashes. Smooth scrolling. Data is fast.

**eletendre84** · 02-29-2012, 02:36 PM

Anyone else having issues getting the MiLocker theme to stick after reboot??

EDIT: nvm, it just takes a few to revert to the themed screen

Does MMS work? Having issues...

**tlrsax54** · 02-29-2012, 06:06 PM

I just downloaded everything this morning and put it on my phone, and flashed everything...

Market wouldn't download any apps, it would say "failed to download" or just a continuous "downloading..." but flashing the gapps from Kraven's thread fixed it.

I got a small MMS file today from a friend, but it wouldn't download...haven't tried sending anything yet.

It would be nice if I could get rid of the "data usage" thing on the top of the Notification list...Sprint has unlimited data!

Battery life is about the same as CM, not bad!

Also I was noticed, under the Power Manager app, I noticed "FeelBack" at the bottom...not sure what this is, but turning it off seems to tell me it saves a lot of battery than with it on lol.

Overall this is a pretty sweet ROM

**MunkyButt** · 02-29-2012, 06:41 PM

Might have missed the answer to this, but, are anyone elses physical buttons (home, menu, back, search) staying lit up? Even after the phone locks itself?

EDIT: Changed the FeelBack option to off and they went off.

EDITEDIT: I'm LOVIN this theme! Great work! Haven't ran into any bugs, yet. Only had it flashed for about an hour though, so I haven't got to play with it much.

Sudansh, my battery life seems to be pretty good. If you use wifi a lot, make sure to under wifi settings, press menu button, go to advanced and turn off wifi notification. Else radio will be constantly searching for wifi signals.

And, I added email to the ROM now, if you really want it.

Can you try this and let me know.
Go to mobile network settings, Access Point Names, Select Sprint 1 and scrolldown to APN type and enter mms there. Now try an MMS. Let me know if it worked.

For Wifi, I go to the Wifi settings and hit the options button and under "Advanced" it has a sleep policy...it's set to turn wifi off when you shut your screen off and 3G reconnects...if you set it to "never" then it will always stay connected, I think it saves a bit more battery too.

and This ^. Forgot to mention.

**arizanic** · 02-29-2012, 09:29 PM

I love the Tom so far however I've run into a few problems
1) the battery percentage in the notification bar doesn't match the percentage on the lockscreen
2) the phone screen never turns off unless you hit the lock button otherwise it just dims and remains on
thanks for all of the hard work

1) for me, when screen first turns on, its different but it takes a second or 2 to update with whats in Notif bar.
2) System settings> scroll to phone> Power Saving> check if feel back is ON. If so, turn it OFF.
Also, under display settings, check timeout setting is low enough for your need. I mena if its checked to 1 min and you wait 45 seconds to turn it off, it obviously wont.

**tlrsax54** · 02-29-2012, 09:44 PM

I might as well post....I did try adding "MMS" to that one APN, and I still cannot download or send MMS lol.

I have not yet tried this ROM. Is the music player a different player or just a different widget/interface?

**twtippets** · 03-01-2012, 11:14 AM

Yes, it's a new player (or themed and heavily edited) that I have never seen before. I haven't played with it much yet because I use google music most of the time. But the UI is pretty cool, WP7ish, if you like that style. It also has music controls from the lock screen that differ depending on the Milocker theme you are using. Check it out if you haven't yet.

I was just wondering cuz the miui player was released as an apk a while ago
