[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fr3akBut:
Have a look in the Accessories forum, there's a thread there running about various batteries... the Deji is one of them (though it is labelled as 1500mah)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] axelb1980:
I've had Owain94's 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs installed and the 2.2 had the best battery life (both over the 2.1) ime.

I managed to get nearly 3 days out of my phone with all connections turned off (apart from standard phone).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
I think that all roms on 2.x.x have better battery life then 1.5/1.6. This is what i experienced.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] metachuh:
there's a rapid battery drainage in all custom roms compared to the latest sony ericsson stock rom if 3g is enabled

so far nobodyatall's/slade87's mini-cm based rom has the least battery drainage in full on mode, although don't expect it to last a whole day if you are using it a lot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
Well, to be frank, i tried lots of roms (almost all of them) and i found best battery life on NaA MiniCM RC2 with hotfix..

With default frequency of mini (600MHz) and with SetCPU Profile for idle more ((screen off) profile to set frequency from 128MHz - 350MHz with 55% priority) i manage to get over 100 work hours with little usage of WiFi and Data Transfer, few hours of MP3 and around 1h of phone talk, around half and hour of playing games, with moderate usage of phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
I think it's the same ****, just charge your device daily :) it's not a hard work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MauriF:
ok, thanks!! ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
I have to agree :P anyway, the best i could get (that i was willing to get, i mean) was 1% usage every 3 hours, with miniCM 1.0.0 final, just by deactivating all peripherals, but leaving intrnet without 3g (2g seems enough to recieve and send mesagges in whatsapp, and it saves a lot of battery) . I have jit enabled, 122 to 710 clock and the default undervolt. When battery drains unexpectedly, i just analyze the apps running with system panel and see which one is using too much cpu time. If that is not enough, i use the "monitor apps" option. When i find the rogue app, i can only do one thing: uninstall it. So far, i've had to uninstall skype, tikl, tango, and a digital clock widget. The xda app burns my battery too, but only while using it. Fair enough :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] metachuh:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veludo:
My Aunt has just bought a Galaxy Tab from Curry's and it is stuck in "Retail Mode" which means that Internet access is limited to only a few websites. She got a discount of £100. Does anyone know how to switch it off? I've loaded another web browser so she can access all internet sites but if she tries to use the stock browser it is tied down to 5 websites.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
As far as I know the retail mode app from samsung app is an app for shops to showcase the tab. I dont think yourself or your aunt will use it for that matter so off with its head :D Uninstall (menu,applications, manage applications, choose retail mode and uninstall it).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I think (but could be mistaken) that they make a demo unit for stores to use and a regular unit. The Demo unit is more limited. Could she have bought a demo unit instead of a regular unit?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veludo:
Thanks for the replies, I figured out how to replace the main stock browser button with the Dolphin shortcut so everything seems to be working normally.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
What is the best way to extract files out of my Android device? In CM6 you could edit lockscreen text. In CM7 you cannot, yet my Titanium Backup restore has restored an edit to my lockscreen text. I'm not talking about the Carrier String in eri.xml.

I'd like to rip all files from my phone to disk, make the change using CM6, re-rip and then compare the files using a script to see what has changed. I'm not familiar enough with Android OS to know what/how to pull all system files. Any hints/pointers?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravesfan171:
Whenever a background sync is going on on this ROM for me, the phone slows down incredibly. Especially when trying to view messages, it gets so slow loading the threads that it is unbearable. Any ideas of a cause and a way to fix?

Edit: The messages are slow still whenever it is not syncing too
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
I turned off (not remove account) HTC sense, Facebook, News, Stocks, Yahoo, and Twitter and if I have to use any of them I have it set to sync when I open the app.

I have Facebook for HTC Sense, Weather and Google set to sync, and those are configured to run once a day.

If I'm gonna leave my phone to be charged, usually I will reboot it. When it turns back on it'll sync, but since its charging I don't care cause I wont be using it. When its done charging its usually done syncing so I don't have to deal with it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravesfan171:
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately a lot of things were running slow for me for some reason, and I like to have everything sync for me. I think I'll just stick to CM7 though I love the features and look of this ROM.
[Xperia Arc General] TheArcane:
Hi,

I'm considering buying an Arc which will be my first Android phone.

I understand that voice dialing is supported in the OS level but since there's no hardware search key, it can only be activated via the on-screen widget.

My question is, to Arc owners, is whether there's a way to activate voice commands without using the screen with a bluetooth or wired headset?

In an old Nokia device I had, pressing the bluetooth headset button once launched voice dial, something like that.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Yes. As you said, you push the button on your headset and voice command is activate (you can say whatever you want) I have used it to call people. If you want me to try anything just let me know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Hopefully this clears out most of the repeated flashing questions from the other threads.

That may just be wishful thinking though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
the guide master is here! lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dnichols4:
Before backing up via Titanium, you can also just change your "backup folder name" to "_ExternalSD/TitaniumBackup" in the preferences. That should store everything on your SD card and save you a copy ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
When I do a Nandroid back up, should I sync google account to bring back all the apps first or can i just do a nandroid backup with having to sign in.

The reason I ask is because I just got my SD card and would like to do a Nandroid before flashing CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
How ever you want your phone to look when you restore nandroid is what you should do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Question answered,

Thanks Gunnman :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k12.usmc:
Under CWM recovery, which wipe functions do you need to use when installing an ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
First one down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j0hnee:
Nice guide gunnman.. Hopefully this will help those with questions that can be answered with this thread..;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 3BeersKen:
Is ROOT needed before the Clockwork nvflash? Reason I ask is the steps I took were:

1) Boot Stock Recovery to bring device back to stock.

2) nvFlash Clockwork

3) Nandroid backup

My feeling is if I need to get back to stock / exchange my device I restore that backup and then nvFlash stock recovery.

Opinions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
look at step 1 which is root
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
how do i do it this way? it doesn't let me type in a new name. no keyboard pops up. i can delete the name but it won't let me select a new name.

and for the original way by the op

3. Copy the "Titanium Backup" Directory from your internal SDCard to your External SDCard.

are there steps to doing this? i can't figure it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] amac89:
When you're at that screen press the return arrow button on the phone and it should take you to the sd card directory. I was confused when I got to that part too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] milesxd:
Am I allowed to do step 3 first instead of step 2? because I rooted and backed up and everything with Titanium Backup but I havn't NvFlashed yet. thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
These are just guidelines. you can just:

Root

NVFlash

ROM

If ya want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] milesxd:
so can I

Root

Titanium Backup

NVFlash

and then Rom?

sorry if i'm asking stupid questions, new to rooting, being paranoid and all that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
yes go for it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
can i put all backup stuff on one microsd and take it out and only use it when needed? i'm guessing i can, but just want to make sure that if something happens to the phone and needed a restore, i can just put the microsd with the backups into the phone and do a restore from there.

edit: thanks amac89 for the tip with the external sd step.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nlogax:
Question/suggestion removed.

great guides and work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hypocriticalplan:
I am new to this site as well as to the whole android OS I would just like to thank you for making this thread

Hell I was just happy being stock and having fun with the android market but then I started reading and re-reading and decided to just mess around with it

I am now running CM7 19 at 1500 mhz and Im loving it and its all thanks to this original thread which pointed newbs like me in the right direction so thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
Dumb question about this one:

Step 2

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery via NvFlash (Do not use ROM Manager for now, Welcome to Tegra2):

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1056847

Why not? Weeks ago when I bought my G2x, I used Rom Manager to install CWM. Seems to be working. I used it to do backups, but never flashed a new Rom yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jawknee530:
My understanding is that when you use Rom Manger on a Tegra 2 chipset to flash CWM its a "fake" flash. So if you get stuck in a boot loop there's no guarantee that you can force boot yourself into CWM to unbrick your phone. It's more of a safety precaution than anything else and I'd definitely recommend installing CWM the right way just to be safe.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Click on the link and read the top in big red letters. Also please read this thread where it asks to not ask questions in this thread, and yet go to the links and read and ask there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
Mega fail on my part... Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidaddict23:
Gunman, should I even bother with rom manager if I utilize the nvflash method for my G2x? Also could I use the rootboot to boot in to recovery versus power down volume button?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
1.You can use ROM Manager all you want, it's a great tool. As long as you nvflashed recovery, you are covered in the case you can not enter OS to launch ROM Manager.

2. You can try rootboot. I dont use it, but that just the way I do things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
What is the best way to completely drain the battery? After that, just full charge once?

Also, what does a full factory reset entail? What all does it do? Is it just a settings change? I'm still getting used to using my G2X and getting things switched over from my HTC Touch Pro 2 to the G2x, like my calendar and contacts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
1. Android O/S formats the os cache and the /data/app directory there by resetting your phone to the factory settings and apps. If you want apps to be persistent move the apps from /data/app to /system/app. You can do this easily by using Root Explorer File Explorer.

Calendar and contacts are synced from gmail account. Some my be on the SIM card or the phone. Id suggest to move everything to you gmail account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
That was accidentally posted in the wrong thread, haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
One other question, how does this guide change if you don't have an external sd card or plan on having one soon?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Patriot LX Series Class 10 8GB Micro SDHC Flash Card

Get one. So I don't have to explain. :eek:

Also CM7 and ASOP will have sd storage because they use SDCards.

The one I listed is $20 free ship no tax and its the fastest card class 10. So go buy one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
Haha im getting one. I just wanted to install EB before it got here. I guess i will wait for delivery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
While I'm fine with it happening since I had backups, but which part of these instructions effectively wiped my storage card? I feel like I didn't see a warning for that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] olmrjustin:
just picked this up a few hours ago and ran through this tut. great job...appreciate it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
I'm looking for an nvflash executable for linux or osx. Anyone know of one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
I found it. How long does it take to run nvflash on average?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
about 30 sec from execution
[T-Mobile LG G2x] petep86:
thanks alot man!! ur awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gv2004:
So let me get this straight, you are able to flash into clockwork mod recovery without an sdcard, and you can because I have watched the video for it, but you need an sdcard in order to flash a custom ROM, so what is the point in being able to flash clockworkmod recovery without an sdcard, if when you get that far, you can not go any further and flash a ROM, because you do not have an sdcard? The G2X did not come with one, which I am very disappointed in, so I would have to go out and buy one, just to flash a Custom Rom, I would, but if the battery life on some of ROM's are the same or even worse then the original ROM, then it would be pointless...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
first off krylon has modded cwm with 2 versions now. internal support and one that has external.

second if you have the money for the phone ,then you have money for a 20.00 class 10 8gb sdcard. stop whinning.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gv2004:
I was told you could flash a custom ROM without a sdcard, so I am guessing you can not? I can flash ClockworkMod Recovery without an SDcard
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
yes you can flash without an sd card, just nvflash the cwm that supports internal sd
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gv2004:
How do I know what cwm supports internal sd? Is the battery life better? Is there a video tutorial on how to nvflash a cwm, and is there a video tutorial to flash a ROM within the internal sd? I know you can flash ClockworkMod Recovery within the internal sd, but I want a video tutorial on how to flash a ROM using the internal sd...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stupidisasstupiddoes:
So I can't do it with a x32 OS ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
what do you think x86 is? It's (thats right) 32bit.

This tutorial is all based on you having a PC and an x64 or x86 based OS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
I'm running EB Froyo 1.0.4. I want to flash Trinity Kernel and go reflash Froyo. However, I'm not having good experiences with backing things up properly.

The things I want backed up are mostly apps and SMS/MMS. Google does calendar and contacts for me. All images and media don't get wiped, right? I've tried Titanium Backup and when I went to restore all the apps, I got Android errors all over the place on the first reboot.

To the point, what are you guys using for backing up that's working?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] see_u_then:
I received my G2X (TMobile US) only yesterday and it came with 2.3.3 installed. What I understand is that I cannot use Super OneClick root to root the Gingerbread ROM, but I can still install CWM using "One-Click ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2 NvFlasher".

Once I have the CWM on my G2X, can I simply boot into the CWM recovery mode and flash any GB ROM (like eViL's or EaglesBlood) or do I need to install a rooted stock ROM first?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You can flash any rom you want ... just make sure its one built for the G2X and not some other phone.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] playerunknown:
Is it necessary to use Titanium Backup to back up my apps? Couldn't I just reinstall the apps that I want after flashing the ROM? Just curious...

thanks! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea you can do it either way. I personally prefer to just reinstall everything manually when I flash a new rom. Just my preference though.

Thanks for the guide...I think I will give this a try, it took me months to finally get the balls the jailbreak my ipod touch. I've got my fifth G2x from t-mobile, they wanted me too switch too a G1....Do they still make them???? it may reset it self, I was hoping too get rid of that with a new rom. I guess I better choose wisely.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] superhero7:

Are there any new ROMs for the G2x out there that anyone knows of? I was hoping to load ICS on here if possible but not sure if anyone knew for sure if any new ROMs were avail. Since the OP was last revised. Thanks in advance and I am proud to forward links to this post to other G2x users! Simple and concise.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssuds:
I just followed this guide and I was able to get CWM flashed and it is working fine. However, from inside the OS, when I click the power button and select reboot to recovery, it pulls up the rebooting screen but then just hangs and never reboots - I eventually have to pull the battery. I am able to boot to my nvflashed CWM by holding volume down with the power button when I boot my phone from completely powered off, and I can get to the "fake" CWM from inside ROM Manager, but I can't get to CWM through the power button reboot to recovery option. Is this normal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
Depending on what ROM and kernel you're using, this is a very inconsistent feature
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssuds:
Ok, thanks. I'm using cm 7.2 stable...
[Atrix 4G General] benny6812:
Hey,

Basically I flashed to gingerblur, but now I noticed that my atrix phone settings wont save. E.g. screen timeout has been the most noticeable one, constantly resetting.

Any advice on changing this.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] hondapower:
Kenneth has stated in the Gingerblur thread in the dev forum that its a known issue. I imagine the next release will correct it. For now, as long as you don't reboot your phone then whatever amount of time you set screen timeout for will work, but will revert back to 15 seconds upon reboot.
[Atrix 4G General] kurogana.inc:
I have these problems with gingerblur if anyone can help:

Dont save settings like mentioned above

Home and search buttons does not work ( vibrates but dont do nothing)

Any lockscreen works, fingerprint, pattern, numerical, none, i press power button and i`m already on home screen unlocked, no matter if i had set up fingerprint + pattern + numerical...
[Atrix 4G General] NguyenHuu:
reboot sticks the screentimeout for me sometimes (mines is 1 minute). sometimes it reverts, sometimes it sticks, kinda strange, but yeah, that's a known bug.

everything else works fine that you mentioned above.

You made sure to flash to 1.83 first then install Gingerblur 3 correct?
[Atrix 4G General] hondapower:
It may be how you went about updating your firmware and Gingerblur.

You didn't specifically say what versions you were running. I just updated to 1.83 SBF and went to Gingerblur 3.0 with no problems at all, was previously on 1.57 and GB 2.5.

Heres what I did:

Use RSD Lite to flash back to 1.26 SBF

Get 1.57 update OTA by checking for updates on your phone

Use RSD Lite to flash the 1.83 SBF

Use ADB to install Gingerbreak and attain root

Use ADB to install CWM and then install Gingerblur 3.0

The only issue I've run in to doing it this way was the previously mentioned screen timeout not saving, but as my phone is never off and only reboot after flashing a new SBF/ROM it doesn't affect me much.

Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
Why not RSD right to 1.83 from 1.26? Doesn't 1.83 SBF contain all 1.57 changes?
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Yea going too 1.26 then updating than flashing was all wasted time since 1.86 is everything all in one.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Only issue for me is screen timer after reboot. That's definitely ok given the benefits if GingerBlur.
