See THIS is why I LOVE this community so much...the sharing of ideas that make a difference. I've been beating my head upside the wall trying to find out why I can't make GV calls. This is the answer! Turn OFF 3rd party access as the poster here stated and the option to make GV calls will pop up! :D Thanks a buch M5!!!! GREAT FIND. Many GV users will be very happy to find this out!

Nick you may want to mention this in the OP as I know a lot of users have asked about why GV wasn't working on this rom.

SS5 kicks ass. I have had my best battery life of any GB ROM, and I can use the GPS without ever opening angrygps our any of the test/aid apps. I also turned the GPS off for several hours and turned it back on without a reboot and was able to lock again in google nav in my car. Nick and Tory deserve tremendous praise for their hard work on this. +1 to you both!

Lot's of FC's

My phones been acting a bit funny lately. On Friday as I was anxiously awaiting Nick's latest gem, my phone began force closing on just about everything. It had been running very smoothly since I had updated the week before. So on Saturday (at this point my phone was near unusable) I odin'd back to stock so I could have a nice clean install of SS-5. Worked great. ROM was super fast and very responsive. No problems. Then this morning I started getting force closes again. So I re-downloaded the ROM and performed the wipe cache/dalvik/flash/fix permissions. Still getting the FC's. I don't play with OC/UV stuff, and I'm not really app-crazy so I don't think it's something I downloaded.

Any suggestions? I just thought it was weird they came out of nowhere.

Oh, the only other thing I flashed was KB5.

What kind of battery life are you guys getting? Mine has been terrible, although its always been terrible even on froyo. I let sit it overnight and was losing 5% an hour. The funny thing is that is charges really fast. I know this has been an issue for some people , but it will only charge up to 98%, is there a fix ?

Good bye vibrant buddy's I'm going to epic touch 4g
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
Normally, I could drain the battery in less than 4 hours. Last night with moderate use, I was at 63% after nearly 7 hours. Before, I could live with the battery drain since I almost always have a charger available, but that was the best I have seen since I bought this phone back in November.

I had turned the GPS off for the majority of that time last night, so it may be part of the solution. I didn't think it used any juice when it wasn't actually displaying the icon, but I could be wrong.

Does anyone know if Froyo Bootloaders can be flashed without going back to stock? The only way I know how is to ODIN back to Froyo stock and start all over. Is there a better, easier way. Thank you for your help.
[Vibrant Android Development] raykovitz:
Yes ... they can be flashed at any time. No need to return to stock just flash the bootloaders.:)

Bootloaders have to be flashed with odin though it will not affect the ROM or Kernel. just follow the instructions in the op for the BL.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Thats great, how do I get them?
[Vibrant Android Development] raykovitz:

[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
Oh Boy... Here is why I want to try to go back to Froy Bootloaders. I came to SS5 from another Gingerbread ROM. LOVE SS5, the best I ever had. Everything runs great with the exceptions of battery Life. Over the night, it does great. I lose maybe 20% in 8 hrs, but during the day, I lose 10 to 20% an hour with very moderate use. I looked at the battery stats and saw that Android System is using 39% and in some cases up to 77% of battery. I think that the issue. I am thinking maybe Ginger Bootloaders are the cause and were there from the previous ROM. What is the use you get on the Android System?? Just quesries and are you running Froyo bootloaders. I LOVE this ROM and want to get this solved. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] raykovitz:
I doubt it's a bootloader issue... Although you should be on froyo BL. My android system has been a little high .... but thats because I keep messing with it. One thing that could be causing batt drain is GPS. Try turning it off when not needed and see if you get better batt stats.
[Vibrant Android Development] vibrant2011:
I will try the bootloaders as well get GPS off unless I need it. Sounds that if I Odin the file from that thread and reboot, it should be fine. as long as I have everything else turned off. Thank you

Op says Pandora upon request? I would to have it please
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Really dig this rom. GPS isn't working for me very well, and battery could use a boost, but easily the best 2.3.5 rom there is. Good example: it goes into deep sleep! Total use of processor is less than 10%(usually around 3%) unless I'm actually USING the phone in some way..

The only thing lacking is bln. I don't want to switch kernels just yet since op reported this has best battery life, but I don't think it would be that difficult to add bln functionality to stock kernel. Even if I have to consistently flash this kernel every nightly, it would be worth it.

So yea, bln would be nice, some sort of explanation of what I could do to get GPS working properly for this rom, and maybe a little more battery.. I get about 14 hours with light usage, which isn't aweful.. but the rom seems worth it thus far.

Differences between SS and LE

hey team,

Ive been using MIUI for some time now and have been recommended this version. It looks like the devs for this MIUI rendition are on point. Im having a slight problem identifying the differences between SS and LE-8. Im not looking for much detail but just whats different between both? Also, do I also have to apply the (WIP) fixes or do both versions include (WIP) and angry GPS and so on. The tutorial is not that clear.

Thanks to anyone who can offer 2cents worth of guidance.
[Vibrant Android Development] alawadhi3000:
I got 42 hours on my last charge, Oced to 1.3GHz with a small UV.

Also WIFI was running all the time.

That was on LE-6 Turbo.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
I'd like to emphasize the "light usage" part, lol. If I had really made calls or texts, or used apps, played music, it wouldn't have been nearly 14 hours.. doing a battery calibration just in case flashing at 100% isn't enough..

Thanks for the GPS advice, guess now I have to wait till battery calibration to try it tho ;)

As you can see from the screenshot the processor usage rarely went above 10%, although most of the device usage was me just checking my email or sending a quick text during class.. I'm a little sad that the phone didn't deep sleep when I went to bed, that was one of the first perks I noticed the rom had the first 24 hours I used it.. and so far I've lost about 10% per hour with moderate usage this morning..

Pics or it didn't happen ;)

Differences- in SS & LE (Also in OP)

LE series

is for testing purposes and changes often in order to test new things, yes it has all the tweaks and GPS stuff along with CPU control and extended settings.

SS series

remains about the same from week to week and has a lot of system apps from other devices, GPS stuff and tweaks. SS-5 is the recommended rom for daily use.
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
I wouldn't recommend the titanium backup app for Miui, I would only use for emergencies
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Stuff That's in OP but You were too lazy to look.

If you have problems with LE-8 Ditch Glitch and flash NEO-16 (not 17)

Or revert back to LE-7:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZIVN9V3O

(NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.(especially when it comes to kernels and MIUI)) LE IS MY TEST ROM.

FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO WHEN THE ROM BOOTS IS:

-Open Superuser App

-Hit the menu button

-Select settings

-Turn on the root toggle b4 opening apps that require Root access!

-If you have already opened titanium and cant get root after turning it on, just uninstall it and re-install

-Learn to use this SU app it will be here Friday also

[Vibrant Android Development] alawadhi3000:
Well, the OP is not organized and contains too much info, thats why I only read installation info.

Anyway I had drocap in Titanium Backup thats why I tried it.

Thanks for the info. :)

Depends on how do you use your phone.

If you are without a signal for %75 of the time then this is your problem, your phone spends battery charge by trying to search for a signal.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainevent3405:
Could this be due to the fact that in my office building, no one can get a signal unless you step outside. I keep wifi on in my office to get my email and my whatsapp messages. Can't get regular texts or phone calls.

I guess I answered my own questions duh. Of course it would be high without a signal if I can't get one while I'm here, but would that make my standby time be that high as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, I have a reoccurring problem.. tried Googling for an answer but I only have access to tapatalk, so sorry if it's been posted before.

Was playing music with stock app yesterday just fine, later tried and it showed no music. Today same thing but with poweramp.. I can see the music fine in folder view, but even after rescanning it shows no music files. I'd reboot it to get it working like I did yesterday, but I'm doing battery recalibration.. and I'd like to know if there's a fix. I didn't see a workaround in the link in the OP.

Again, sorry if its been asked before.

Im interested more in this rom as it seems to outperform cm7 in every way. As the op said, there's the built in screencap.. but miui has tons more features(besides screenshot) than he put in the op, you should look into them.. many useful ones.

If you're willing to, I'd like to see what something a little more comprehensive like system panel shows.. do other Roms give you battery like that, or is that not typical? I wonder if some vibrants are significantly better hardware wise and if that would explain the rare users with unbelievable battery power, or if it has to do with the way you use your phone and/or apps you use to reduce power usage..

If you don't have something more comprehensive to show battery/app/processor usage pm me and I'll send a copy.. it would be nice to finally pinpoint why some users get amazingly different results!

Can anyone point me toward the Google Search apk in LE?

(Ie, where it's placed in system).

I'm trying to install a themed one instead but I can't seem to find it in apps. Is it bundled?

Thx.
[Vibrant Android Development] alawadhi3000:
Yes it would still be high, as I said your phone will still be working in the background trying to get a signal therefore consuming battery.

Well IMO MIUI is better than CM7 because of the UI and simplicity.

As for the battery, Froyo based roms gives me the best battery life (1.5days avg), MIUI gives me around 32 hours on average, CM7 is not consistent so I get 1-1.5 days on average.

I'll try to give you more info about how I set up my phone, its overclocked to 1.3GHz (its not stable above that) I do use Glitch V12 HL kernel with Smartass scaling.

UV Settings:-

1.3GHz -0mv

1.2GHz -25mv

1.0GHz -25mv

800MHz -50mv

400MHz -100mv

200MHz -125mv

100MHz -150mv

Profiles:-

Downclock to 1.0GHz if battery is between %11 and 15%.

Downclock to 800MHz if battery is lower than %11.

Screen off frequency is 100MHz-400MHz.

I do use my phone lightly, My daily usage:- ~15min calls, few texts, ~30min chat using Whatsapp, ~5min Internet browsing, WIFI always on, Skype, Viber and Cisco Jabber running in the background and ~10min gaming.
[Vibrant Android Development] EegoGenre:
This may be a noob question but what does undervolting do? I've been playing with the numbers trying to see a difference but I don't.
[Vibrant Android Development] d_phekt:
The Google search box is not included in any LE rom. LE's are pretty stripped down for performance. If you wanna add one just push it.
[Vibrant Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
I agree with you miui is better than cm7 which seems to be all hype. Sure, cm7 is gingerbread, which is better than froyo, but there isn't much about cm7 that is better than gingerbread besides.. i'm not sure what. But miui offers many very unique features that no other variation offers at all.

That aside.. you basically outlined that you use your phone 60 minutes altogether per 1-2 days(depending on rom).. I am a very very light user, but I am sure my screen is on more than that per day even if no one calls or texts.

That said, why would you overclock your phone if you aren't doing anything intensive that would utilize it? Maybe you just have an epic 10 minutes of gaming per day? ;)

I suppose if you use your device that lightly and leave wifi on all the time, it doesn't have to search for signal, and should use only ~1% per hour ideally as long as it can reach deep sleep..

I have personally never overclocked anything buy my nook color as it it the only device that might benefit gaming wise from overclocking(the stock 800 mhz is less than many games would recommend), but I don't imagine overclocking having any difference besides gaming. And I have yet to have anything on my vibrant run at less than awesome performance.. hence no overclocking

I might buy a phone that has dual-core 1.2-1.5 processors in the future to ensure it will meet the demands in the future hardware wise, but I would underclock it in a heartbeat UNTIL something benefits from that much processor if it would save me battery.

I was about to underclock my vibrant to see if I can get better battery life since I don't think anything I use it for needs the full processor power it has.. the most intensive game I have run is Order and Chaos which is pretty much like world of warcraft quality, but even that runs smoothly on my nook color without overclocking(800mhz)..

I guess the whole time I have owned my vibrant, I have yet to imagine a single reason to OVERclock it... but I am all ears. For now, I would sell out performance to know it would last longer, because then I may use it more(which seems like the point).
