[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drollo85:
Hi guys.

probably this is a noob question.

Btw i didn't find a thread to explain my doubts.

I have a stock jvp with cf root and ext4 partitions.

1. I know the meaning of oxeded and deoxeded, but i don't know which roms/mods/updates can i use first (oxeded? deoxeded?). Can i have an example/guide for first mod i have to run?

2. I have to put a oxeded mod before? or viceversa? is the same procedure to put a oxeded or a deoxeded mod?

Thanks in advance for help guys, probably these questions are very easy for you. But without learning bases i can't do anything :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stam91:
Hi, as you know the meaning of odexed/deodexed, let's know that there're deodexed ROMs, i.e. roms, that have this feature implemented. So you'll have your apps fully deodexed when flashing your phone with any custom rom with "deodexed" feature in their list. There're many of them, I like Juwe's, Darky's, F1 and Ficeto's stock ROMs. But there're many other cool variants, so it's yours to choose one. Good luck with flashing)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
If the rom your using is deodexed you use deodexed mods, which is pretty much all of them. If you are using an odexed rom use only odexed mods. Pretty much every custom rom is deodexed and Ramad has a collection of pre deodexed stock roms available for cwmhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948790 and since you already have cfroot installed it is quick and easy using cwm to change to a custom or just deodexed JVP rom.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drollo85:
Ok, thanks guys. I begin to understand something more. So, for example, if i want a deoxeded rom, just have to flash it by odin as i do with a standard rom? and then to install deoxeded mods i like?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me_ashman:
Can the apk be mixed between the different builds? ie can I put odexed files on deodexed build?

Sent via ET and he phoned it in
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drollo85:
I don't think it works. I put just an deodexed update to my stock rom some days ago and the phone didn't start anymore. I had to reflash the rom. Obviously, my bad, i didn't made a backup...otherwise i think a restore is enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Umm, you can flash deoxdexed roms via odin, but it is easier to do so through CWM which CFroot(the kernel you have) has built in so you can just chuck a custom rom or deodexed stock rom on your sd and flash it. Be aware odin and cwm take different files and aren't cross compatible. Most custom roms are in cwm form and will say on the thread. From there you should only use deodexed mods. So if the rom is deodexed use deodexed mods, if it isn't use odexed mods. Have a bit of a search around about cwm and more info on what odex files are and do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drollo85:
Ok. just the last thing: The rom shall be flashed by cwm with "install from sd"?

thanks a lot for help, i appreciate people as you that helps full noob as me :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Yep, install from SD, good to do a backup of your current rom which can be done in recovery and go back to rfs from ext4. You can hit the thanks button if you want :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nedooo:
First tings first, deodexed and APKs with odex file can work together in system, I use them right this moment.

After reading about what is this all about, conclusion is that odexed system is better, only advantage I found stated about deodexed system is theming ability.

So I decided to try to theme new 2.3.4 odexed stock ROM, and guess what?!

It works!

So now I can't find not one advantage of deodexing ROM.

BTW odexed system is stated faster, so doing file system conversion (lagfix),

and deodexing is like adding + and - at the same time.

turn off network location and GPS and auto sync and switch to 2g if you can.

then when you need one of the futures just turn it on and when finish turn off.

this can save 15% battery or more.

Here are my secrets juice defender ultimate on extreme and I turn on wifi whenever I want to. I also have auto killer on strict mode don't remember the exact numbers and as for my moderate usage I took 6 1minute calls and 10message received and 3 sent and a Couple of times on xda 5 minute each. Lets not forget setcpu was on on demand not over or under clocked and my profile was screen off 245 499 and my charge was 245 1190 and when battery goes under 40 its undervolted to 245 to 780. Btw I was using cmylgxo rom the lite one since I'm on European HTC hd2.l

Press thanks if I helped anyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheNT:
If it is everything ok with yours builds/kernell everybody should have more than 24hours on moderate use...

I mean normal batterry consumption in stand-by should be around 3-10ma depending of reception and what is turned on...

If that is not the case than you have litlle bit more than 8 hours... i mean that sucks ;)

I thought also it's imposible but some experimenting with different build's and kernells get me to this that i can use my device for almoust day and a half without turning wifi off.

p.s. juicedefender is enabled at balanced...

To enable JD notifications or not? Because I think notifications eat battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
Thanks for linking to my thread in your signature ;)

If you mean Controls Tab / 3G then JD asks you to "Proceed".

When you hit the "Proceed" button, it proposes you to install "Juice Defender AOSP Helper". You should install this app and then hit "enable" in Controls Tab / 3G.

However, some ROMs do not support this function and in this case, "Juice Defender AOSP Helper" will not install. Typhoon for example does not support this soft.

Now here is something for you: you can install a soft named "Toggle2G-update.zip" (the update through CWM if you are running Gingerbread 2.3.4).

"Toggle2G-update.zip" is in this thread, with all explanations:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739530

You can also choose another similar app (there are a lot of them).

This will perform the same than JD / Controls Tab / 3G but with a separated software.

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
Hello,

I enabled JD notifications.

Why? Because in a glance you can know what is JD status (I use the graphical notifications).

I never noticed any particular drain related to JD notifications, and let's say to any notifications... I also heard about that but could not reproduce the drain.

If you have any precise information about a notification-caused drain, this is an interesting information that you can share in this thread.

Thanks to report your observations!

Thanks ill try that later...

On the battery calibration bit, which i started last night wen i went threw your thread ... ive done as stated but just waiting for me phone to die so can re-charge as i want it sorted before monday when am back in work, will the same effect be taking if i kill the battery my self / phone people and leave it running for 10/15 mins, open a few apps, put gps/wifi/background data on etc as its already got a decent battery and not sure if it will be dead by tonight ?

EDIT: Forgot to say are you using JD in typhoon rom? because according to your sig your using the same rom as me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
Yes, exactly! This is what I do if I need to kill "before night" - exact same situation for me :)

So yes, open anything, everything, especially, call call call, open GPS navigation (double advantage: the GPS itself uses a lot of battery and usually the nav software keeps screen ON, which is also a big consumer), watch movie, listen music, play heavy 3D games... etc...

You will be surprised that the very last 1% will be difficult "to kill". I believe this is when your phone system is "learning" how is doing your battery: the system thinks the battery is 1% where in reality, there is more!

If you "force kill" your phone by calling, etc... I recommend that after the phone died, you switch it ON again and wait again for it to dye by itself before charging...

Yes, I am using Typhoon, always updating to the latest version - currently v3.4.0. And I use JD on this ROM.

I think you can use JD on any ROM, that's why I did not specifically mention Typhoon when talking about JD...

Report your feedback!

Is there any chance you could post a print screen of the controls tab on JD as i'm also using latest version of Typhoon and i got JD ultimate few weeks ago of market for £5 and never been able to use it since i didn't want to mess things up, so i thought now was the chance to get me money back by using it :)

I forgot i was doing the battery calibration and installed an app (i restart phone after i install an app) will this also take affect ? or do i need to start over :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
I can upload a screenshot, however, just follow the settings of post 2... Maybe there is something not clear in post 2? In this case, just tell me and I will update it...

You are ok; the most important thing is not to plug the phone (not charge the battery). Ideally, you should try not to reboot, but it is not critical. No need to start over.

Explanation:

a reboot spends some battery while the ROM is not monitoring the battery %. Because of that, the ROM will have a "Battery stats" file which is missing a little bit of information.

"a little bit" = not critical if you reboot one or two times during the conditioning procedure.

hi all,

i've been waiting for a thread like this one ....nice job.

i have i hight battery drain 60mA in stand by with flight mode ...and everything disabled .... ooh yes and i get this battery drain even if i do a clean install starting by task29 .... this battery drain is the same for all roms i install and even befor installing any application after the first boot ...

i realised that if i turn on the phone and let it alone even for hours the battery drain is arround 7mA ... but once i unlock the screen just to see the time the consumption jump to 60 mA ... and stay like that.

i followed your thread letter by letter but nothing changed ...

does the battery drain could be coused by a hardware probleme ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
Thanks for reading/using my tweaks!

My comments:

Android Issue 9733: This issue is not precise enough to mention it in the tips (too vague description). I also noticed that the system is time to time over-consuming CPU. Quite difficult to sort-out - there are a lot of things under the "Android system" umbrella! If you install "watchdog" (tip#10) it will tell you as soon as a process uses too much CPU. If you see something from the system coming over and over, you better reboot and the issue is gone. e.g.: sometimes I have repeated alerts on "Android media process" which uses 62%-70% of the CPU - reboot - everything is fine!

process_stats.patch increases mBuffer and MAX_SPEEDS to sane values : this might be already in dorimanx's tweak that I recommend to install (for other reasons). Maybe dorimanx can confirm? BTW, I downloaded this patch - I've no idea how to install it... I'm interested in learning how to if somebody knows!

Optimize Tool Box I tested this app. But I think they wanted to put too much in just 1 app... The "power savings" section is not bad, but it seemed to me that JD is offering much more customization + very effective priority management among all the different settings, that's why I stayed with JD. Moreover, you should limit the number of apps which manager "power" they could interfere between each other...

Report your findings!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Looki75:
Thanks for your support!

It sounds like you have a drain. However, as I wrote in tip#10, you should be very careful with the values you see in CurrentWidget or similar: these are "instant values" which could be very high but still normal!

e.g.: you could have a steady 2mA and then a peak at something between 50 and 200 mA (an app is trying to sync for example). If you switch on the phone when the peak just happened... that's the value you will see - but it does not mean it was that value all this time during phone was switched-off...

However, the fact that you have 60mA if flight mode is very strange (if confirmed)... usually in flight mode you should have 2mA all the time...

Did you try tip#10? Did you read and apply the thread I recommend in tip#10 about "how to track a battery drain"?

Report your results! We need to remove this annoying drain from your phone!
