You seem solved the problem but if you want to know what he meant ...
Schlund is written that you have to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which is actually interface (command line) and serves for communication between an Android device and a PC.
what he expected, that you do:
- If not before, install ADB
- Connect phone via USB
- Run ADB
- Enter command "adb pull proc / calibration cal.txt" and press enter, now "calibration cal.txt" will be copied from HD Mini to PC.
- Publish a "calibration cal.txt" here. Schlund will read and know exactly why your wifi strike.
hey guys, sorry for the missing status update;
i have decided to do some test before posting my status with battery driver. but happily the last test isnt over yet, waiting for the battery beeing empty since 50h now!
well, i think the test will take about 10 more hours, but i will post the detailed results then
Thanks Schlund, sounds great!
Btw, CM7.2 RC1 is out, It's hard to upgrade your photonic rom from RC0 to RC1? Could it solve our audio routing problems?
true, no and no
nothing really interesting has changed, but it will be integrated in next release
BTW:
61h now.. still not empty, and no, the phone is not in flight mode

Schlund, even the battery lasts 48 hours (not 60) on a medium phone usage, imo the most important thing is to report properly the remaining capacity.
If now reports 50% remaining capacity and after 5 min reports 1%, the phone is unusable because it shuts down itself .
Hey!
so i have a little bug. I can only charge my phone when its NOT in sleep mode, so basically i have to leave my phone always on the menu(because it wont go to sleep after i put it in charge). The other thing, after i have done with my charging, most of the time the LED stays there (greenish-orange-ish). do you guys have some fixes for that? :s
Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake: set to enabled
What I am having instead is after any call screen goes blank and phone doesn't respond to any command (power switch or soft keys). In case I receive a new call phone rings/vibrates, screen stays blank, I'm not even able to pick the call up.
Battery has to be removed or phone can suddenly restore after a long time (30m or 1h). I guess it's due to proximity sensors during and in the end of the call, any feedback?
noob he didnt updated yet his version that he is testing him self atm.
SD-Boot:1. Files for SD-Card - (needed to boot into fastboot to flash lk for the first time)
2. Files for PC - (contains new bootloader&recovery, fastboot and drivers)
3. Update.zip file - (is the main build file)
3. latest GAPPS - (Google Apps like Market etc.)
STEP 1: Installing LK Bootloader & Recovery
(If you have already installed a NAND version, you can skip the haret boot part, but it is very important to flash the new bootloader from lk-photonic-pc-r10.rar!! It contains important changes for wifi calibration!)

- The device should boot to the fastboot prompt. Connect the USB cable
- If your connecting your phone for the first time to your pc you may have to install drivers from the folder you have just extracted.(See also here) You can see it in your windows notification bar if you were sucessful. Be sure to have already run haret and already being in fastboot console on the device when installing drivers! If you are sill having problems to connect to the device via fastboot try installing HTC Sync (from htc website)
- Enter the Fastboot-folder on your pc (the one you have extracted) and run start-photonic.bat

If you are having problems with connection while flashing do it this way!
You may have noticed that i added some version tracking:
The "-rX" in the filenames show the growing release number (Example: -r10)
I removed ROM Manager and added GooManager instead, you can browse the files on the phone, checkout and install experimental updates etc. It will also let you know if there is an update!
In the "Photonic" Folder there are two other folders: EXPERIMENTAL and RELEASE
RELEASE is thought to be main, most stable and tested version, that most people should use. Experimental updates will only be included after heavy testing there
EXPERIMENTAL is the storage for brand new tests on kernel and the android build, i will write the changes to the changelogs for the files so you can decide if you want to test it
In most cases its "safe" to install experimental updates, feedback to them (using this forum thread) can really help me with developement.
People that did hard to install the Photonic Release itsself should not try to test them.
