For people facing battery drainage problem, u may try this :)

-Battery calibration has to be done. "Battery Calibration" app for the calibration:

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

-I use "Juicedefender ultimate"(Just google it and get a pirated copy if u dnt want to buy) - set to "Balanced" profile: (there is a free version, too). Bt ultimate is the best

-"Autostarts" is great for preventing useless apps from autostart. Use it to disable apps wich wil autostart.

-"Auto memory manager" is a great replacement for "Task Killer"( Task killer just kills all apps so they could start again in the background - useless!) Use it in "agressive" mode, apply the mode once and forget about it (and task killing):

-DISABLE automatic syncing and background data!

To save battery, turn off wifi & bluetooth when you are not using them.

- Install APNDroid, to easily switch 3G/EDGE data off when not needed (still allows you to receive MMS messages when data is off, and has a widget)

- Set your screen to the minimum brightness that you can (but so that the display is still bright enough to use)

- Turn off "Power Saving" in display settings (actually uses more power than it saves 9 times out of 10)

- Use auto memory manager

- uninstall 3D gallery(uses lot of battery). instead use "quickpic"(very very fast for viewing images)

-Exiting apps using the back key, home key put the apps to background task.

-use setcpu profiles (setcpu from here for free)

I do all of this, and I can get up to 2 and half days(sometimes 3 days) use without charging.

u may also try this :)

Things that will drain your battery the most (highest power usage):

- Wifi

- Bluetooth

- 3G/EDGE

- Screen

- Phone calls

How to uninstall 3d gallery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
very useful! Thanks a lot, now we'll see how long my phone will stay awake without sleep :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] V!KR@M:
U cn uninstall only if u r rooted. Use titanium backup for uninstalling after rooting the phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
1 question! Do i need to keep Autostarts and setCPU in background for any reason?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] V!KR@M:
S they shud b running. Decrease their priority in auto memory manager for keeping them alive

[GT540 Optimus General] kovacsgellert:
Hello!

I am sorry if this question was posted before, I just wasn't able to find it.

I'd like to know if it is possible to install ClockWorkMod recovery using ROM Manager or I have to do it in fast boot anyway?

My friend has this phone and I wouldn't like work with fasboot and things like that I've never heard about, because it seems more complex than the methods of installing a custom recovery for my Optimus One.

Again I'm sorry if it's a noob question.
[GT540 Optimus General] pRo_lama:
As far as I know ROM Manager is not working on GT540.
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
I think we should contact Koush and see if we can get ROM Manager to support our device, but add a warning about flashing fastboot ROMs first (as we need them for recovery to work, lets just say its our version of the Nand Lock ;))
[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
you can install recovery with root tool box or you can use terminal emulator.
[GT540 Optimus General] sabrito:
I use yaffs expert.I update recovery very easy
[GT540 Optimus General] liamwli:
No, you will have to use fastboot or flash_image.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Incorrect

I flashed the LG Optimus One P500 Recovery image on ROM Manager and then restarted it via ROM Manager. It got stuck, so I flashed a LG GT540 compatible ClockworkMod Recovery image via fastboot and now I can use ROM Manager (for fixing permissions, booting into recovery, etc.)

I think you can flash Recovery ROMs via KDZ Updater
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Yeah thas is how I done it, sort of. I flashed the GT540 recovery in fastboot, and then in ROM Manager I pressed menu and there was an option to override so I chose Optimus One and it worked fine.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Someone

Someone contact the developers and provide support?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Carlovn:
I was looking to change the user configurable buttons on my Desire Z but couldn't find a easy guide or simple solution. I started to experiment a bit. This is what I found out:

To change the layout you only need to things:

1. a rooted phone

2. A program like Root explorer with R/W permissions

Then do the following:

Go to system/usr/keylayout and open the file for the layout you are using in a text editor (in my case this was the WWE version)

I then changed 'user 1' to 'HOME' and 'user 2' to 'BACK'.

I did a soft reset and I now use the user 1 button to go to the home screen and the user 2 button to go back

note 1:I allso made the above changes to vision-keypad.kl and the wwe-bopomo.kl files, maybe someone can confirm if this is really nessacary :)

note 2: This guide is problably written a 1000 times but I couldn't find it so I hope it's my first real (small) contribution ;)

[Defy General] PonGoLLe:
Dear all,

I am new to Android root, but a very experienced PC user. I thought custom fw process to be easy but unfortunately bricked my defy. I need your assistance please. I define process I applied and problem in detail;

rooted my Defy

installed System Recovery (clockwork mod kind)

downloaded MotoGinger 2.3.4 and extracted it to clockwork mod/backup directory.

booted into recovery mode and wiped user data as suggested

went to advanced restore tab and selected system restore (img restore)

then went to boot restore (selected shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf)

then rebooted my phone

As a result it freezes in boot procedure (motorola logo hangs).

- The first question is what is wrong with the procedure I tried. Do I understand anything wrong? As the tutorial is not detailed enough I can't address it.

Then I've used RSD Lite and flashed my phone with shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf. No problem seems so far but I have some questions.

- May I use my Froyo application backup? (img backup obtained with recovery mode). Can I import it directly to my new 2.3.4 cfw?

- What is about MotoGinger img file? What is in it (complete backup?) and in which situation it is used. As I expect, it may be a backup of filesystem to make the flash procedure easier, faster and less risky. Am I right?

If you can explain these questions I will be appriciated. Here is the cfw I've used;

[Galaxy S II General] cmpnetman:
Today I upgraded my SGS 2 to I9100JPKG2. This is because I need Arabic support to be able to communicate with my customers in Dubai.

My previous ROM was I9100XWKE1. The phone is working fine with the new I9100JPKG2 but when trying to connect and update it through Kies, Kies says:

"This version of device can't be updated"

I'm running Kies version is 2.0.1.11053_99_3, which is the latest version to today's date. Despite I9100JPKG2 is a genuine ROM but still the stup1d Kies is unhappy about it.

Could you please help to make Kies behave and recognize the ROM installed? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Do a hard reset by inputting *2767*3855# in the dialpad. Backup anything you have on the internal storage because the hard reset will wipe everything. I will upload the CSC package so you can flash just that and it should sort this out for you.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I don´t think that's possible, your phone also has a product code which is not changed when flashing, eg my dutch (xen) sgs2 has the following code: GT-I9100LKAXEN, now KIES just won´t recognize your phone anymore, you have to use odin
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Nah, it can work. Once he hard resets and then flashed the OJP CSC it will appear like a normal XSG device and will work with KIES.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Here is the OJP csc: http://www.multiupload.com/1U8T9E5UQO

After hard reset just put the phone into download mode. Double click on that self-extracting archive and same the .tar package somewhere. Just start Odin and select the CSC .tar package in the CSC section of Odin and then connect the USB cable to the phone. Make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are ticked and then press start to flash.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Is this the same as doing a factory reset in recover because I did try that and my product code never changed in spite of flashing the correct csc
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No, the hard reset wipes everything including the internal storage. Have you flashed a different region firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
nah I went from xwke2/xen to xwke7/xeu, anyway I used odin to go back to xwkf3/xen and all is mostly fine, it's just I couldnt get my device to recognize xeu. It doesnt really matter I thought xeu or nee were the first to receive updates but it seems it's just a big lottery anyways besides there are no big changes in any of these new roms
[Galaxy S II General] faris2001:
Mine is recognized by KIES with stock I9100JPKG2. Flashed the stocked ROM, did hard reset, root then flashed it with stock kernal.

From your experience:

- what's the best backup app and ROM manager for my SGS II?

- how do I clear the cache?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I use Titanium Backup pro for backup purposes.

You can clear cache by booting to recovery, volume up + Home Key + power, and select wipe cache partition.

Intratech.... Please help in getting my SGS II I9100 recognized by KIES.

I followed your instructions to load CSC_XSG_I9100OJPKG1 via Odin but KIES still reports the same "This version of device can't be updated"

Here's my SGS II I9100 current config:

I'm running Kies version is 2.0.1.11053_99_3

My SGS II I9100 version is:

[Galaxy S II General] sorrowrain:
change your csc code to ksa by doing this :

first Get IMEI Number :Settings > About phone > Status > IMEI number

then enter the numbers in dialpad :

*#272*IMEI#

and the end it may look like this *#272*123456789123456#

then chose the csc code : ksa then press install.

this worked for me when i flashed to jpkg2 and had the same problem as you.

press thanks if it worked.
[Galaxy S II General] cmpnetman:
Dude... Thanks, but are you sure? isn't dangerous to change the IMEI?

It might render my SGS II dysfunctional.

and what about the other codes:

xss, xsg, wan, tun, thr, pak, otu

mwd, mmc, mid, med, mat, lev

ksa, jed, egy, btc, afg, abs

If that proved to be working safely, I'm interested in changing it to UAE. Should I select XSG?

Intratech generously offered XSG (Arabic).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] sorrowrain:
it wont change the imei , it will change csc only.

and dont chose xsg because i had your problem with xsg so change to ksa or maybe uae.

I was told to post here..

I bin using litening rom v1.5 for like 2 weeks..everything was running fine untill 3-4 days ago my battery would drain in like 3 hours from 100%. After it drained i would try and charge it..it keeps freezing on the battery screen and changing all diff colours lile blue red green. When v2.0 come out i flashed it via odin. I done all the basics like wipe data/cache ect. After it flashed i recalibrated battery..but last night it done the same thing. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Btw when i go to battery usage 'Android OS' says 97%. I dont have any other apps running in the background nor have i changed any settings. Its all stock settings. I dont run any overclocking apps. Only root apps i have are cachemate, titanium and CWM

[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
recalibrated battery not after flashing a rom,

but after the battery completely recharges.

I'm sure its battery calibration problem,

Do this

Let the battery die completely (let the phone turn off by itself)

Then connect charger and let it charge till you get charge full notification,

Then recalibrated your battery.

Btw next time if you have problem with some rom, make a post in that roms thread.

Dont start a new thread Especially in the wrong section.

Sorry for the inconvinience

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneti:
hi

i'm having a few problems which appeared recently, and i believe they are related:

if the dhd is not plugged to the power, it powers off when i turn on the camera app (maybe in a few more apps as well).

the battary percentage drops quite quickly from 100% to around 75%, then discharge rate seems more stable

if i'm in a low reception area and the phone reboots - it goes into a constant boot loop where it reboots a few seconds after it has finished the boot animation

i'm using ARHD 5.2.2, but tried it also on prev version (5.2.0) and it still the same, i have the most recent radio etc.

any ideas about what is causing this and how to fix this? tried already to secure the SIM card and to wipe and reinstall rom but no solutions.

any ideas?

thanx in advance

Patent... Maybe? Hm imo, apple went to Steve and asked for a billion to ask Samsung, lg, sony, and sharp to use their products yet label them under the Apple name. Quite sad and pathetic waste of lives
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Here's a good idea, wonder if it would work. Why don't we all get together and get a patent to prevent innovation. Then we could sue apple, as all they are doing is stifling innovation cuz they are pissed that they are losing market share to the android nation. I could care less about anyone having to pay Microsoft, I've been more partial to them over crapple my whole life. Crapple seems to think that since they are losing market share they can extinguish the Android flame by going after the manufacturers. Ironic that the main ones they are going after are their very parts suppliers. They must not have heard the old phrase, you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[G2 and Desire Z General] silverton:
uhhh... I paid 500$ for my G2... i dunno if I'd pay 800 for the galaxy s2. after my poor experience with the original galaxy s, I don't think I will ever have a non htc android phone again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Idk. what condition is your G2 in? thats really what it depends on. if its in mediocre condition then its really only worth about $200. so $500 for a good condition SGSII is a screamin' deal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
I hear Samsung has actually gotten more developer-friendly recently, especially after releasing the NS. Either way, I'd wait and see what the reviews and root procedure for the SGS2 are.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
dunno about you, but i was still miffed with the fact that samsung refused to sell a gsm version of the epic 4g (unbranded from sprint's crap ofcourse) to the rest of the world. I was so intent on getting it that I hoped it would've appeared 3 months after the epic went on sale in the US....
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
You know the Epic 4G is just Sprint's variation of the Galaxy S? T-Mobile's is the Vibrant, AT&T's is the captivate, Sprint's is the Epic 4G, and the global GSM version is the Galaxy S. Sprint just made it fat with a keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
ofcourse i knew it was a variant of the galaxy s. you also do realize that the epic is the only one with a keyboard and the look that i like.

that's why i got a DZ. it has a keyboard. My biggest prereq is that is HAS to have a physical keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
The reason why it has a keyboard is because Sprint stipulated that it had to. In other words, Samsung didn't want it to have a keyboard but made one as a Sprint exclusive. Aka Samsung wouldn't be able to sell a GSM version to the rest of the world because it was a 1-carrier build. Why is that Samsung's fault? Its Sprints fault for wanting the exclusive. Not to mention that Samsung would have never made a keyboard one if Sprint didn't ask.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
The reviews are already out. The SGSII has been out in Europe for a while and every review I see has said nothing but great things.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but all I'm saying is that I'm not happy that Samsung did not decide to release a gsm version. It does not matter if it was sprint's stipulation or anyone else's for that matter. the point is that they never released a gsm version and that I would've bought it if it was for a gsm network.

No need to go defensive for samsung. Not to mention that it is not difficult for them to sell a gsm variant for the epic.

after all this is simply my view on what I would've gone for if I had a chance, but i'm unhappy that they didn't because it was such a nice phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I'm explaining to you that Sprint had an exclusive on the Galaxy S + keyboard (they designed it, they keep it). They wouldn't let Samsung sell a GSM version in the US or abroad for that matter. Don't hate Samsung because Sprint told them not to release it anywhere else lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crazy talk:
Source?

10 chars.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
i've never heard about sprint not allowing samsung to sell a gsm version. maybe exclusivity in the US but dunno about worldwide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
When carriers ask for a customization for a phone, that phone doesn't exist anywhere else. It was clear that Samsung was going to sell their variant of the Galaxy S without a keyboard. They sold the i9000 version in Europe sans keyboard, that was their unlocked GSM version. Sprint requested the keyboard and got it. Samsung made that phone for Sprint, its not like they had it in the pipeline and Sprint stole it as an exclusive to keep it CDMA. Its pretty clear Samsung was willing to do whatever the US carriers wanted by re-designing the phone 4 times for all the major carriers, and even some regionals.

I'd understand your frustration if it was a GSM worldphone kept on lock to AT&T/T-mobile, but in reality they'd have to redesign it to be a GSM version, and whether Sprint wanted this to be the only keyboard Galaxy S or not, Samsung surely wasn't going to make a GSM version of it.

But regardless, this has absolutely nothing to do with OP's question...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Which is exactly why i dont understand why you were so intent on arguing this when its not related to the op. It simply seems to me that you are arguing for the sake of doing so
