Is there any other alternative kernel for better battery life?

Wipe or Non-Wipe

So I've decided, based on several reviews, to go with I3. Thank you guys so much. Just 2 questions,

1) What is the difference btw the wipe & non-wipe versions and which should I install?

2) Also what is AV/IS and NIS? If NIS is on, then how do I turn it off?
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
upgraded to 2.3.5 KI4 and the battery is amazing, the phone dropped to 99% in 3 hours on idle mode. My battery is made in japan, finished in korea, I don't think this makes any difference

am i missing any advantages from kI3 or KI8?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
@bala. You can discuss anything about SIII here. It would be nice to know about it here instead of following two threads at a time :p

2GB space waste.......and after what happened to kachru I won't try siyah till it become more stable like for GB

Flashed PAD.........Android is updating
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
thats fine, but what i thought was the more we talk about sgs3 here the more the people will get tempted to get sgs3 regardless of their current financial status. it may end up bad for some , hence. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
like me ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lol, siyah has already many stable versions , you can avoid those betas though. siyah 3.2 is a release vesrion and is rock stable .

btw reserving my second rom to jk modded sammy rom, hope they release it soon before i sell my sgs2 :D
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh yes. That's there. Well for good for all people we can talk in GS3 thread! :)

guys when i do a titanium backup of all the apps and system data, even the bloatware is backed up.

so after i flash a new rom and restore the apps through titanium all the bloatware will also be restored right?????

If so then how to restore the apps which i want
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Go into Titanium backup settings and select restore to internal memory only. Then restore apps. All random apps will give fc if you don't do this.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
200% agree..i never expected this demand..

my friend got a Nokia N95 at 38K..and sold it at 24k after less than a year..so i am really amazed with these galaxy series resale value..all the more tempts me for S3/S4/S5......
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
@bala: Can't buy S3. I haven't read also much about it. When it was launched, I was travelling. Came back home yesterday and now leaving for Delhi. So, once I sit back home, I'll see all the videos and stuff and read. Most probably I won't switch.
[Galaxy S II General] manojcitc:
Backup only application you want.. Then restore those applications one by one... dont back up all application, as it will backup all systems file and all bloatware..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
step by step please...........right now back to cm9.........How to install them into internal?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Actually when you go for batch restore you can select the list of apps that you want to restore. And most of the bloatware are system apps and I hope you very well know that never to restore system apps. Restore only user apps + data.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Actually I would suggest backing up everything. Some of the system backups have usefully information such as settings, bookmark, contacts, messages and call logs. Or you can backup only those settings and exclude backing up all the system apps.

Preferences - Restoration settings - Restore backup to

I think this is what he meant? Here internal means that 2GB memory part?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ sahib

yes, galaxy series has better resale value, you can sell sgs for 15 to 16 k here:eek:

@ iekansh

oh,ok. do see the videos, some are amazing.

@chetan

you just fell for the wicked wizard of galaxy :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh..............1st I need to restore to internal or 1st flash PAD and than restore?
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
If u have a buyer, you can pass him to me..
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:

Hey surya..you in Mumbai right?..I have heard there is a store in mumbai known as "Alpha" and they sell mobiles at very competitive prices..is it true?they wont bargain..they will just give u a price you will be tempted to take the phone..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh.......hmm like 1k/5k for S3? :p .......Than I'm ready to go mumbai just for it :D
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
Yes its true...

I live in New Mumbai(Navi Mumbai).

ALPHA is very gud store.. you ll get gud whole sale rate...

On all Online Sites it is 27k always(and remain so)when u visit any local dealer store you ll get actual Rate.....

Plz guys one more important thing regarding SGS2 price abt my prev post...

THIS IS THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM MY LOCAL DEALER... it may be false or true... i dont know.. I JUST SHARED the information what i had.. please dont argue on this..

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yeah man..my friend- cvchetan bought his S2 from ALPHA at 25K at a time when we all bought at 29990 ( though i got a discount coupon of 1500)..

@surya..here shops also quote 27k
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
if any one want new SGS2 @24k or below lemme knw .. i ll give SAMSUNG dealer details...(Only for Mumbai lol)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I think you need to flash Pandroid and then do restore of data. But then this is applicable only if you are doing wipe flash right? Or you can move all apps to phone and then flash Pandroid. When I was on Pandroid I did not restore Apps at all so no FC for me. Surya_mca is the right guy for Pandroid.

Edit: Guys please help. This is happening second time! No vibration when I get new messages. I haven set vibrate as always but still not helping. Last time when this happened I installed go SMS and that fixed it. But not now :( this is seriously giving me headache. Missing my messages :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I want one...........I will go to a shop ask him to open the S2 box and keep mine there and take new one with me when he not seeing and sell it in eBay for 26k :p

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

you can do restore of apps even if they are installed so it might work without wipe too...... Instead of this I will just wait for 0.5v.........doing a format and installing all apps again is hard and boring
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You have the Pro version of TB right? :)
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
@Ravi /Harsha

here what i did... its simple process..

If u want clean install..plz take BCKUP of apps thru Titanium and goto recovery wipe every thing(data/cache/system/dalvik) and install PAN v4 & PAN Gapps.

Later restore apps thru titanium app...

Go tit app-> batch-> restore missing apps with data(there select apps which you want restore)... thats it...u ll get ur apps back...

Otherwise there is windows app called MOBOROBO which u can save all app backup also on System chk it out..

lemme knw if u have any further doubts...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
No...No one g___ it to me :p
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Mine is just like new(just like out of the box)

When you open seal of the box the price of the product goes half

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

@surya. Actually ravi does not want to do clean flashing. He tried flashing on top of CM9 and he go FC.

Also got my vibration back for messages like out of the blue! God.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You did?.........AGAIN! :p NVM got it
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
@ravi, try like this on Top of CM9 wipe system & cache,Dalvik(dont wipe data).. flash Panv4 version... its should work...

lemme knw otherwise i ll try... lol
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
all 3 launchers get FC........Dev wrote reinstall rom and clear data of t_______ launcher and use other launcher (nova is better) we are working to fix it...If you still say do what you said now...I will
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Again'd :D

@Ravi - wiping system, cache and dalvik only is a good idea. Hope you know how to wipe only system alone and not data. Let surya_mca say whether to try again or not and then go ahead.
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
hold on guys im doing that now i ll let u knw if it works...

Guys I'm on Dragon ICS and whenever I'm watching HD videos using MX player on it it just stucks/hangs after 5-10 min. I have to press power key for 15 sec to rebot the phone. Any solution for this?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
are you sure? i just watched a 720p movie yesterday with no problems, might check 1080p now. btw did you get any replies in dragon thread? whats your video file format and profile?
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
So you use your S2 without cover I guess? As many hands-on reviews have shown that it just looks bad in pictures but it feels premium and looks good when you get your hands on it.
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I have posted in dragon thread waiting for reply. It didn't happen in Samsung ROM. It started when I switched to Dragon. Stock video player couldn't even play the videos.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lol, remove that attachment, it doesnt have any info on the codec used. does dragon have stock video player?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
@adaneam use vlc media player to get codecs info. There is sikrhivg called media information in the menu options. It will show all codec details. And I'm talking about windows software.

@bala. Even I had trouble opening video files in CM9 with Mx Player with codes installed. When I went back to GB the stock samsung player and also mx player could play it without any issues. I guess not all codes of stock rom are ported to CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] surya_mca:
@Ravi & @Harsha,

It worked ... i havent get any FC..

here what i did..

I was on PAN V4 rom with alomost 120+ apps installed..

->Went to Recovery

->Clear Cahce Partition

->went to mount&storage ->Format System

->Advanced->Wipe Dalvik

->Install Zip from SD->Flashed latest CM9 with Gapps 2909

->Rebooted...

I booted with out any problem and no single FC on any app even i chnaged DPI to 190 thru LCD Denity APP.

So Ravi u can try on this way...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
aosp may be missing some native codecs, but if you install mx player + arm7 codec + neon codec, im sure it can play all formats decently ,atleast in fast sw mode
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Why you flashed CM9? I want you to flash PAN v4.......I have no problem with CM9...I have with PAN v4
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Some people say to install Mx codecs for arm 7 from market that solves the problem

Also try using dice player from market

BTW the codecs are not ported from Samsung, they are developed from open source codecs(samsung video codecs were used for a month when YouTube was first fixed)

EDIT: bala beat me to this
