I was using NSCollab 1.0.34 for a long time, but I was not satisified with its performance. Then in last week I've installed SuperAOSP 8.6 and I've found it much stabler than NSCollab. Infact its much faster as well.

I have not seen battery life improvement since on both ROMs, it lasts around 8 hrs on average.
[Nexus S General] gioyann:
what went wrong with its performance? I find it sooooo fast!!
[Nexus S General] :
The faster something goes, the more power it takes. What you're after I think is something that does not use power unnecessarily, like a basic ROM with an OC'd kernel?
[Nexus S General] EdForce1:
8 hours battery life? Really?
[Nexus S General] sfingers:
I'm running Oxygen 2.1.6, Netarchy 1.3.4, UV using the suggested voltages in Proton Voltage control as well as Juice Defender. I get close to 2 days battery life under normal usage, as for speed, I've never noticed it being slow or lagging, feels faster than the cyanogenmod nightlies but that could just be subjective.
[Nexus S General] jark99:
I have oxygen and james bond kernal. Get close to 25 hrs of life. And for me juice defender did more harm then good
[Nexus S General] sfingers:
I guess it depends on how you use the phone, for me I always left wifi and data on all the time as I was too lazy to switch it on and off
[Nexus S General] kaldean:
on oxygen i never got more than 12 hours battery life although i have wifi and data always on and i do use google maps for navigation. went back to stock rom and kernel and so far so good. good battery and good performance
[Nexus S General] cman675:
I was happy with CM7 and netarchy, but just flashed MIUI and everything seems quicker and battery life is decent.
[Nexus S General] Lowroad:
the fireandice rom is pretty good :)
[Nexus S General] Cohni:
Please don't blame me...:D

But I haven't really differences between some kinds of Roms and Kernels. Only the Bond-Kernel on Stock-Rom was given my Nexus S a little bit more power (around 2h).

I'm affraid there is a little problem with UV and my device. Even the latest and stable Bond-Kernel worked a little bit unstable on my phone with someday reboots.

No to speak about the other kernels. Reboots every hour.

It seems my i9023 doesn't like UV, OC and other things.

The best stable combination is a rooted stock rom with stock kernel.

It doesn't make sense for me to have 2h hours more power without a stable handling.

Please don't blame. It is my Nexus... I've tried all the nice things with a great attention to flash the phone in the right way...;)

What kind of battery life were you getting before you rooted your phone? I just want to compare your experiences.

i m using cm7 + matr1x with uv, i can prob use 3-4 hours more than stock rom and kernel
[Nexus S General] Hellafax:
I've had great luck with CM 7 nightlies (back to 130), Netarchy 1.3.7, and Proton using either the Conservative or Smartass governors.

I'm running oxygen 2.1.6 & I ran quadrant this morning & scored 3320. I'm just saying.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Im usually all for CM7 with but IDK Been using new MIUI and battery last long time. IMO allot longer than CM7 and its really quick especially with trinity 1.1 & 1.2 UV kernels
[Nexus S General] taronas:
The only sane advice so far IMHO. You would need a script of another person's phone usage and play this on your phone in order to compare properly. Something like. "under normal usage" has very different meaning for everyone.

Even with my personal daily "normal usage" I get different battery life every day.

I found the battery monitor widget useful because it records current draw over time. A bare system, all connections off, screen off might draw 2mA. With my normal usage it's 5-10mA in standby. Now you can install another ROM and start to compare those numbers.

But the important thing is: you should compare yourself because your usage pattern is different from everyone else.

IMHO
[Nexus S General] taronas:
Oh, and I'm currently using Liquid ROM with Matrix kernel. Lowest number of reboots per day for my kind of phone usage :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peter86148641:
hello,

I am learning to develop on android and I have an issue. I hope this is the right place to find help. I tried the development forum but apparently I can't post there.

So here is my issue:

I'm trying to create a header for my application. In this header, I have a button, and since I don't want to duplicate my button click handler in every activity, I created a MotherActivity (that inherits Activity) from which my activities will inherit from.

In my first activity, I wrote:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.myActivity1); (myActivity1 <includes> layout.header)

}

and in my MotherActivity, I used:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

LinearLayout include_header = (LinearLayout)(findViewById(R.layout.header));

((ImageView)( include_header.findViewById(R.id.ImageButton1)))

.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

// do something

}

});

}

My problem is that findViewById(R.layout.header) returns null.

If I try to invert onCreate() and setContentView(), I receive this error:

ERROR/AndroidRuntime(872): Caused by: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content

So I don't know what to do, in both cases I receive an error...

Can you help me please ?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peter86148641:
I managed to fix the error.

But there's something I don't understand. The whole point of this architecture with an inherited activity was to create a button in the header, and whose event handler wouldn't need to be rewritten in all the activities.

But the button doesn't do anything when clicked on.

How is that possible ?
[Blade General] Sn0opy:
Hey, im looking for reviews of people with a white ZTE Blade. I'm thinking about to buy a white one from base.de (w/o contract) and before I do this, I want to know how the case is. Is it good manufactured? I know from some of my old phones, that the paint is sometimes peeling. This would look horrible on a white phone.

So, anyone?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
So far it's okay. A tiny bit has peeled off, probably because I dropped it. Overall, it's good. I've had it for around 3 Months.
[Blade General] Nesovic:
I had mine since begining of january, and no peeling problems or so. It has a little tiny scratches around the edges, but I think it is because I droped it a couple time, and I've used couple od nightly ROMs that needed restarting by pulling battery out, si that top might have damaged the back cover as well.

The greatest thing about white mask je that beneath it it je still a white material meaning that even if you have scratches you will have hard time noticing them.

On the other hand the back je not so rubbery finished like on black one, it je a bit shiny si it makes it easier for you to drop it.

Overeall, if you like the white mask - get the white one, it is far to better then black

Hey guys, just need your help with something. I'm looking for a good computer for playing casual games on, stuff from Steam (namely Team Fortress 2) and for other basic computer needs. Here is what I'm looking for:

In the ballpark of $200-$300 (I doubt this is possible) :(

Windows 7 (But I'd settle for Vista)

Fast Processor (I'd say at least 3Ghz)

at least 2GB of RAM

WiFi capable

Bluetooth would be nice, but not necessary

a nice video processing card (If it is DirectX at least DirectX 9)

CD / DVD drives

decent hard drive 150GB+

It doesn't have to include a monitor, I can use my HDTV screen for that. (I Hope)

If you guys could point me in the direction of a computer that has these specs, that would be great.

Thanks for the reply man. I'd be willing to up the budget, the reason why it is set so low is because i was saving up for the motorola triumph coming out, when I realized my old phone is perfect for me, so now I have $300 and need a computer. If someone could locate a decent enough computer, i'd be willing to get some more cash, but until then....

I know nothing about building computers, and I don't have that much spare time, between 8 hours of work and 7 hours of practice everyday, the only spare time I have is used to unwind, i.e., playing games. I appreciate the help though, and will keep your advice handy.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Seriously outdated buddy.

If I were you, I'd start with newegg.com and go from there. Just get any processor you'd like, the cheapest mobo, some RAM and a good-ish gfx card. Also try to get a quality PSU. Don't spend too much on other stuff.

From your description, playing TF2 is simple, but what qualities would you like to play it at? At higher graphics quality, you'll need to double your budget, at least to be able to get a decent frame rate.

For reference, my PC (PC only) is worth about USD800 by now (dropped value a lot) and it can play any game at max setting at 1920x1080. You'd need to be a bit more specific about your requirement

And your budget can only afford an entry-level gaming PC.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Radeon HD 4650 will play tf2, hl2, gmod and other source based games on high.

My gfx card was a 4650 before i sold it and it was good enough to play dirt 2 on medium settings.

Hope this Helps

Oh and i also played HL2: EP2 on a geforce 4 with medium settings smoothly. That card was from 2005. The game 2007.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.675224

This came up in NewEgg, although the deal expires REALLY soon. Like in 4 days. Costs $379.99 excluding other stuff. Only three drawbacks in this rig:

1. No dedicated GPU. Decide on your own how much you wanna spend here.

2. PSU only rated for 450W. Future upgrades will require you to change this

3. Doesn't come with Windows. Eyepatch on your own.

The deal itself is pretty good. 8GB RAM and the processor will last you for another 2-3 years before you feel the need to upgrade. Even then, you can just invest in a better cooler and overclock it instead. The Phenom x6 has a LOT of overhead.

Just remember to rollback your drivers afterwards if you want to flash with ODIN again...

Make sure you use the frontend version of Heimdall to flash with (more like ODIN)... If you don't understand about the drivers you probably would be lost using CLI...

I've searched google and xda and there seem to be a lot of problem with gps issues. i am on coredroid 7 with:

s-off

hboot 0.85.0019

micop-0438

radio 26.09.04.11_m2

emmc boot

Pretty much like a lot of people's navigation issue, it is stuck on "searching for GPS". a few times before my flash it thinks I'm 600 miles (NY vs VA) away consistently.

Here is what I've done:

* Tried toggling GPS on and off

* I've flashed cleared cache for maps a few times

* I've uninstalled/installed maps a few times

* I've re-flashed the CoreDroid 7 ROM a few times

* I've reflashed the radio/RIL a few times

* There was a release a few days ago for Gingerbread releases of gps library. Flashed that and it didnt work.

* There was a gps fix a few months ago by region on xda, flashed it to both north america (version 1.0) and my region (1.2). Didnt work.

* Tried things like "GPS Status" from the Market - people say loading other gps apps followed by Navigation will fix the issue - no go.

* Used GPS Status tool to reset gps cache and download GPS assistance from internet (requires data connection) - no go.

GPS is kind of important to me... does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Is it time for a new radio? If so which one of the three listed on Coredroid thread is best (obviously not the 3rd pair?)

NOTE: before i first rooted and flash to coredroid, i believe gps was working and it was working decently well

edit: another question... are we suppose to have gps.conf? a brand new flash of coredroid does not have this file. where is it suppose to be located?

is there a way to boost its ability to acquire signal? the hero which is 2 years old seem to have a better gps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nismax:
are you using case ? get it out. alot of people have weak signal with new case.(otter defender)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
+1

Cases inhibit the gps performance on this phone, in my experience, and the experiences of many others.

I literally watch all sorts of satellites mysteriously appear the instant I take my case off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
i AM using the otterbox defender...

sigh. what's a good equivalent to protect the phone then?

thats a lot of money down the drain :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Check out the Otterbox Commuter. It's the case I use and its GPS interference is minimal. It still protects your phone quite well. There are 2 layers - your phone goes into a soft rubber case, and then a hard case shell goes around that. $20 on Amazon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nismax:
Defender-best protection in my opinion i have one

htc desire hd in love with
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I don't think there is a case that doesn't interfere, at least to some degree, with this phone.

However, if you visit the accessories section and look at some of the case threads, you'll see all sorts of experiences. Some claim a particular case kills their gps, others with the same case will say it has no detrimental effect, etc.

So it goes with gps, cases, radios/data speeds, etc... All things that are subject to a variety of other factors and are at the mercy of personal opinion and experience.

My solution? When I need to use gps and I want to assure myself the case won't be doing anything goofy, I take it out.

It's unlikely that I'll be engaging in an activity that would need the phone to be physically protected *while at the same time* utilizing the gps functionality.

**** happens, I know, when you least expect it, but I'd rather pay more attention to the well-being of my temporarily un-cased phone than a bunch of money for 100 cases trying to find one that inhibits gps the least.

All in all, no the V20x(A,G) arent better then Miks,Andys or Noejn Rom and Franko'S Kernel.

But sometime this Night/Morning (Europe) LG released the 2.3.3 Source and we can hope on better Kernels..and maybe more bugless Roms from the Devs.

It looks like Andy already started, and im sure Mik and the others will follow soon in the next Days.

Andy statet that they have to do a complete restart (rewrite?) with the Kernel.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dryhte:
Well, there's at least 2 things that will be better in the V20x kernels: UMS & (my pet peeve in both current GB roms) Bluetooth calling!
