Awesome. Thanks. (I had no intent to imply you were affiliated with any product. I just thought it'd be helpful to have a baseline to compare to.) I appreciate the response.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] giza:
I understand. Just didn't want to seem as if I were promoting a product that I had value in. It is definitely something to look into. A buddy of mine that does not even have a Droid phone told me about it. I have to say it was definitely worth what I paid for it. It has to be one of the top apps that I have purchased if not the best.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
OK GTG you have not steered me wrong yet and i appreciate it immensely. One last dumb question. When you say install from SD card does that mean the removeable SD or the internal SD??? That constantly confuses me which SD card is which when discussing the SD cards. Why didn't they just call the internal memory that instead of referring to it as SD??? So if it is the removeable SD can I just drag and drop it in there and then run RCWM and select install from SD??? I know this is probably super simple but I don't want to make a wrong move for obvious reasons.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Internal always brosky
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Yup, tyshemi is right.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Tyshemi lol (tyler).if any one needs to ask me anything ill try to.help.to.keep gtg free. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Yup did a factory. Reset via red cwm will try again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popcity:
Thanks gtg, flashed your rom and all is well.. Will definitely donate..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
He lied.

I asked that specific question to c.s. rep - that's not true.

I reverted back to rooted stock and I have 4G speeds and excellent reception.

I'm using simcard from back when ATT bought Cingular and unlimited internet was $20/mo. That's what I still pay for 4G.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 06types:
first off, thanks gtg for your work.

Is there an easy way to go back and forth with the launcher? You give the option to have either TWlauncher or Launcher. I'd like to use one for a while and be able to switch back and forth when I want. Kinda stupid, I know, but is this easily done?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bcarl17:
Go into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> all tab. Find the one you are using now (either Launcher or TwLauncher) and go into it and clear defaults. Next time you hit home button or exit app it will bring up selection menu. Rinse and repeat.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] herp_sherp_derp:
What a sick OS. My only problem was with the modded 3e recovery, but I made it through. Will donate when I get the cash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
There's also an app called Home switcher - I've not used but I know others that do

[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
god i love the battery with this rom. it is seriously a 300% improvement.

before i could get almost 15 hours with normal / light usage. texting throughout the day, the occasional phone call, a game or two if i'm bored. 2 emails refreshing every hour, weather refreshing every 4. background data on.

I went to sleep last night with my battery at 71. i woke up... 68! THATS FREAKING AWESOME. 8 hours and it went down THREE percent. This is what i'm at right now.

I plan on using the phone like i normally do without charging it until it dies. i want to see how long the battery will last with my usage.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MobileData:
That's great. Please be sure to respond back so we know how long it lasted with your normal usage. I am interested because I don't have the time to test this myself. Also, please give us an idea of what your usage was like in terms of what apps you used, how long you did things such as phone calls, streaming media, that sort of stuff.

Thanks for your efforts.

--Mike
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
You people getting this crazy battery life must hardly use your phones. I'm lucky to get 10-12 hours.

I think this is supported by your low screen %. Mine is usually over 90% screen.

Currently (yes it was 100% charged before being unplugged):
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drtvadr:
rom

i really like this rom. cleaned the phone up real good and runs a little quicker. thanks for sharing with us.:) :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
To be fair, you appear to be using an older version of the ROM or you are at least using an old framework.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
I'm running 1.5.0. All I did was flash a different battery icon from the battery icon thread. Would there be something in the older framework file that would kill my batt?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
You're probably ok if you're running 1.5, but the older framework you're using is less optimized and possibly not packed correctly, which may or may not lead to higher battery drain and/or worse performance. Like I said, it's probably not affecting you, but there is the possibility.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ookba:
Great ROM. No issues so far. VERY fast and good battery life.

Q1: What's the easiest way to get the regular battery icon back?

Q2: How can I remap the softkey long press buttons?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
Is the current framework-res.apk floating around somewhere by itself so I can red cwm it and see if it affects my battery drain? Or should I just reflash the entire 1.5.0? It should still be on my internal sd.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
I think the current framework is in ROM Manager under the Remove Addons section. Called enable battery percent or something.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] biala0916:
Thanks

Amazing rom, super smooth.

My first instance to flash any ROM, and the results are really nice. The videos helped a lot !

Had been using stock HTC Sense on the Incredible S earlier and was quite happy with that.. The only thing I miss from the HTC stable is the WifiHotspot button. Have been able to enable the feature on this phone too after ROOT + MOD, but that was still slightly easier to enable.

The second thing (and last) feature that I found was slightly better in Sense was the dialer .. Need to do a lot less key presses (or maybe I am just getting used to the new interface )

All in all, a job well done !!! Kudos :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
Also, you seem to use more Widgets. Depending on what widgets you use , they can drain your battery. the only widget I use is minamalistic clock and weather and google voice.

I used some app that would read my texts and who was calling me. It drained 30% in three hours. And I had got two texts. Removed it and I was golden. I don't see the point of weather widgets that update every hour or thirty minutes... how often are you looking at the weather ? Its just things like that that will drain your battery and they're not needed. My weather updates every four or five hours. And I still barely use that.

Also , my system percent is higher than yours so I'm using my phone more. I only use wifi a hour or so a day at Max. for my uses , network is fine. Its fast. I'm not downloading gigs at a time. Why do I need wifi ?

I text throughout the day. I go through about 8000 texts a month. I do it more than I talk on the phone. Its just easier for me. So I am constantly on my phone.

My brightness is about 1/5th up the bar. I can still see it perfectly fine.

Try getting rid of some useless widgets that update frequently. Or make them update less.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
The only widgets I am running are beautiful home/weather, a brightness widget, and the calendar widget. If you can't even use some of the features of the OS then what's the point?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
I'm not saying you can't use it. but you're the one complaining about poor battery life, and i'm telling you what is contributing towards the poor battery. Use as many widgets as you want, i personally don't care if your battery explodes, but don't complain about your battery, then criticize my response that was intended to help you get better battery life.

I think beautiful widgets had an issue with constantly over working the processors on the infuse, unless it was fixed recently. lower your brightness if you use over 90% on display. the superamoled+ is really easy to see even with low brightness.

also, try what gtg recommended with the framework.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
Chill out mang. That wasn't meant as a shot at you. I'm just making a general statement, that running a few widgets should not have such an extreme effect on battery life.

I always keep brightness around 10 or 20%. I was not aware of any beautiful home infuse bugs, but I'll look into it.

I did reflash the new framework so we'll see.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
All it takes is one broken app or widget.

My previous device was an AT&T Tilt2, and I was running xdandroid on it (in fact, semi-involved with a few development efforts). One of the features they used with that kernel was to have the status LED change color depending on phone sleep state. If it was orange - it was awake (even if screen was turned off, CPU was running in this case). Blinking green - trying to sleep but wakelocked by something. Solid green = deep sleep. One wrong (badly written) app could change the phone from "instant solid green" to "eternal blinkengreen/orange". Facebook was a classic candidate...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
Hmm that sounds quite interesting. Too bad we are LED-less. :)

Anybody know of other good apps to try and see what is doing the most damage batt-wise? I think the full version of System Panel has some logging capabilities.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
try process monitor widget. it's pretty good. i can't remember if you have to pay for it or not though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
thanks installing now. it's free, pay version seems to differ only by having no ads and a different sized widget.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
sounds good. give it a full charges use and take some screens of what uses your battery. next time i fully charge my phone, i'll do the same so you can compare it.

when my battery is at 1%, i'll take a screenshot of usage, and all my apps, and make a full report of what i used and for how long. obviously i'm not writing all this down.. so i wont be writing "internet, 3 hrs and 12 min" :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] knight4led:
It is difficult to say, but I have heard from friends with issues on other devices that two of the largest culprits that people tend to have are Words With Friends and Amazon App Store.

Apparently one of the background processes for Amazon causes it to connect quite frequently and scan your phone for apps then scan the store for updates. This can understandably cause a drain.

Also Words With Friends is said to have an issue on some devices where is ramps the processor to 100% usage.

As I've also stated before, I personally have an issue with the XDA app and find that it gets hung a lot and uses up both data and RAM while seemingly not doing anything.

With this ROM though I am having great luck with my battery overall.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tdwilli1:
I was also using BW and it was eating my battery in 7-8 hours uninstalled and battery life easily is at 50% or better by bed time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
I use BW on my Infuse all the time and have never had battery drain issues with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
For the Wifi Hotspot button, download Hotspot Toggle from the market and add to one of your screens:

https://market.android.com/details?id=bohlool.net.toogleHotspot&feature=search_result
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
Same here.. using BW weather and toggle widgets. Battery life is awesome.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MobileData:
I have heard good and bad things about JuiceDefender. If your battery issues persist, you may want to give that a shot. There is a free and a paid version. I have not used the app myself so I cannot comment about it's usefulness.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bori1030:
so Ive notice that i have to put my titanium back folder on INTERNAL sd card in order to restore becuz it wont read from EXT. sd and for some other apps to restore. is there any way that it will read from the EXT sd card instead becuz when you factory reset and wipe it erases the INT. sd card with ALL my restore stuff then I have to copy those folders back to INTERNAL sd after words to restore thru titanium. shoudnt it read all that from EXTERNAL sd card? thanks for any solution!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Ya, copy the tb folder and move it to your ext sd card. Then go into preferences and tell it to read from the folderyou placed on your ext sd card
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Only factory reset from red CWM. Safer and it doesn't wipe your infernal sd.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
+1. Based on previous experience, everyone wants a different version of my modified TouchWiz launchers. Obviously I have to pick one, so I made a new one based on the Infuse TouchWiz launcher that fits with the theme of my ROM and has the features I like. Sure, it's nice to have one extra icon on the dock, but to me it's not that big of a deal and actually looks a little cramped/ugly.

However, I'm going to put this ROM in ROM Manager and I can give you a selectable option there to install the 5 icon dock version when flashing the ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] omatheny:
Just recieved a notification for AT&t OTA update. I'm currently running infused 1.1.2. Should I or should I not?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
If you do it it will just fail anyway
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Should not. I will release v1.2 tonight or tomorrow that includes the latest AT&T OTA. In fact... if you install ROM Manager you'll be able to get the 1.2 update over the air when I release it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
OOOO Snazzy!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thaimiishoe:
i got this also. is it an update from samsung trying to return to stock or is this an update for this rom?

EDIT: nvm just saw the previous posts before mine
[Samsung Infuse 4G] omatheny:
Cool Thx! Might I just say this ROM is very niiiiiiice!

Can anyone help me on the 2nd step (install 3e recovery) I click the link and the procedure I don't understand, it says first download the zip and extract it, they didn't say where to extract. 2nd it says to use terminal emulator to mount it as read/write, I don't know what will I type and how to I am lost please I just bought the infuse last 2days so I don't really know where to start here on android, I just hope there are people here still kind enought to answer this question for the thousand time. Sorry and PS I did search can't really find a step by step procedure
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaerrico:
Install 3e Recovery

I'm really new to this two and had to do a little digging. Easiest way I found was:

1. Extract the "recovery" file to your phone's internal SD card. Doesn't matter where, but just put it in the sdcard's root directory so the rest of the directions make sense. I think it was the 13GB drive that my Windows 7 detected.

2. Get to a shell. I used ADB because I already had it installed on my PC.

Type “adb shell” (phone must be in debug mode)

Type in "su" and press enter. This is so you can write to the system partition.

Note: phone must be unlocked at accept request for su access

3. Backup the old file and replace it with the new.

Type in "cp /system/bin/recovery /system/bin/recovery.orig" and press enter.

Type in "cp /scdard/recovery /system/bin/recovery.new" and press enter.

Type in "cp /system/bin/recovery.new /system/bin/recovery" and press enter.

4. Reboot your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
I use SUFBS, it's a root explorer, terminal emulator and is cheaper then the actual root explorer app.

I downloaded the 3e file, opened it with sufbs, extracted the contents then went into the file, copied the new recovery file from it to my sdcard, then copied again to system/bin and your done...

Oh....make sure you push the s and d buttons on to left to make system files read/writable...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Infused is now available to download and install straight from ROM Manager. Go to "Download ROM" and select gtg465x. ROM update notifications are supported for premium users. Addons will be available shortly as well, followed by an update to v1.2 tonight or tomorrow.

Note: Don't install other ROMs listed in RM unless they specify that they're for the Infuse. All other ROMs currently listed in RM are for the Galaxy S.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rldowney:
After you download it, you can mount the dirs using root explorer(upper right hand corner), then rename and move the update.zip to /sdcard then when you boot into recovery, you reinstall packages. If I understood where you were.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Lysander Spooner:
Someone REALLY needs to make a How-To video for noobs on this. I too am having trouble wit the modded 3e. i swear i did everything right and it still checks for a sig! Extremely dumbed down help would be financially appreciated.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Alright I am going to flash the newest 1.5.0 tonight but I wanted to mention that today I had the chance to use my GPS and it would not work worth a darn. I got 1400 meter resolution and in the GPS utility I downloaded from the market it said 1 satellite and not being used for fix? Is this something to do with 1.3.2? I didn't mess with the GPS before flashing to 1.3.2 so i don't know if it was any good before that. Are there other things I should be checking to see why the GPS is so crappy? I could use better battery life as well which is the main reason for flashing to 1.5.0 so hopefully my battery will be better with the new flash rom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
His new rom fix all that just select.gps fix and flash the rom life will be good
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
When you say just select GPS fix can you clarify??? Where do I select GPS fix very new to this stuff. Is that inside RCWM somewhere???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
After you get your root and modded 3e done go to market get rom manager and go to gtg and download his newest rom the gps fix will be included, if you dont want it ylu can uninstall it .there also is a gps tbread in general if you wana do that manualy ! Just follow instructions
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
I was also curious about this. I remember seeing it added in 1.3, and then removed and later added as an option. So is it included now, or is it an available add on? Never had a problem with gps, but still curious :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] begadkepat:
Just installed 1.5.0 on my Infuse, and it's working beautifully. Thanks gtg.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bori1030:
ok cant seem to find this RED CWM can some one point me me in right direction thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Long hold power button and press recovery in the extended boot menu
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bori1030:
ok just lost me there for a sec can you please clarify a little ... if its no bother..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
When in the home screen (probably anywhere actually), and the screen is turned on and unlocked:

Hold the power button down - you should get a menu. In a normal ROM this doesn't have much - Sound Off, shutdown, 1-2 other things. In Infused, it has a lot more, one is "recovery".

For whatever reason, when you use this method for accessing CWM recovery, all text is red. If you use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery, it's green. I still don't know what the difference is supposed to be, "green CWM" has worked for me for everything I have tried to do so far.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MotoMudder77:
Dont use Green recovery. Use Red.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Well just an update TY.

I flashed to 1.5.0 using the RCWM method and all is well after the flash and seems to be noticeably snappier even too snappy I dare say. So after that was complete I went over to the general board and read up on the GPS thread. I followed Dani's instructions for what he did on his phone and then I had to reboot as the settings didn't seem to be making much difference. But after a reboot I went into LBS and did a position test and got 12 sats and a TTF of 9 seconds. The accuracy wasn't as high as my old Blackberry Torch but it is useable at 25 meters I guess. Thanks for your assistance much appreciated and huge thanks to GTG for all of his unending work on this phones OS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:

Because it is emulating the internal as an sd for compatability
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
CWM is giving me this error... any ideas?

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"

its a CWM issue because it does it with the system folders such as /cache that arent on the card... also it works fine when the rom is booted, just cwm is acting up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Nevermind got it. Runin like a cat with its tail on FIRE!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Sounds like you accidentally installed the wrong CWM or something. That's the error we got back in the days when we were using Captivate CWM. Was this in red or green? Did you install Galaxy S i9000 CWM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
it just started doing it out of nowhere... i went to go install an addon and when i went to go install zip from sd i got that error. its on the default red cwm your 1.5 rom installed which is why i am puzzled because i didnt change anything and it was fine before. The last things I installed before this started happening was the ASOP lockscreen and GPS tweak addons...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
Actually it didn't fix mine. I used my GPS last night and it was not properly locating my position. It thought I was on different roads than I was actually on. This has now happened with the GPS tweaks and without.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Any of your partitions get converted back to rfs? May want to check that.
