Mmmm not so much...you get a ton of links where everyone tells people to google. I've always found what I want app-wise but my questions were specific to tweaking this rom.

1. Can you add an ext partition w/o hosing everything else? I've got 217 apps and 150 MB free internal so not worth it to start over.

2. Who has run stock kernel for a cpl days then switched to a diff one so a real comparison can be made as to battery life?

Holding breath for that weather lock screen :):)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike02466:
Nice! Thanks bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Sorry niether question I can really answer. But im sure someone can, the stock kernal works fine for me, and my battery is what I might expect from a full 3.0 port. I can tell you this from experiance, each phone is different, much like a snowflake not 2 are the same. So even if someone answers your kernal question, dont expect that you will get the same resaults. As for the ext. I dont see where it could hurt, but I would nand before trying. Sorry I can not give you more useful information.:D

Hey GW ,, well I just got around to applying your them and the boot image is the best I have seen,, and there are some really nice ones out there..

I wiped both caches prior to flashing, and still I only have parts of you theme. I had the gas skin applied b4 and therefore still elements left over

THIS IS MY FAV HTC-IME MOD
[EVO 4G Android Development] billbowers:
To add partition...nandroid backup, copy sd card to computer, partition, upgrade ext2 to ext2 3...copy backup to sdcard..nandroid back..flash rom, have fun.

[EVO 4G Android Development] teddy_ballgame3:
To be honest, everyone on this thread will say this one. Everyone on the synergy thread will say that one lol.

With that being said...I vote for this one!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Lol okay I will flash this , I hope the battery is good and should I download and install now ? Or is there a new update soon ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike02466:
Supposed to be one tonight. So as good as this is , might wanna hold tight a bit

Beautiful rom. Took me a couple of tries to get the a2sd to work smoothly but now it is running sweet.

Only problem I have noticed is that my calendar only has 6 days in a week. Can't find any settings that would apply to that.

I've been going on a flashing frenzy since we got root and Synergy was the one I kept going back to, but I am pretty happy with one. Great job GW and King and all involved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killerhz:
Grab this one for sure.

i have had them both and IMHO best rom so far ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
Running stock kernel since rls1 and battery life was great. tried the monkey, though was good for my phone, wasnt better than stock. Tried the freedom family and didnt work with my phone so i am back to stock currently and loving it. Dont want to install shootme just for this purpose otherwise i could have taken some screenies for you. I am currently at 9h 33m 52s with battery at 59%. remember this is light to moderate use. Like GW said, every phone is different so your experience might be different from everyone else. The bottom line is the stock kernel works for me.

On the other note, nandroid like everyone is saying, and follow billbowers directions a couple of posts above this and below yours. I believe its post number # 1955.

Enjoy.

Remember that we are here to help each other.

Thanks Alex for the reply about the app, much appreciated.

Does anyone if there is a way to cut down the amount of screens that can be viewed on the "home screen". Currently I can cycle through 7, but I really only want 3-4 without having to cycle through the remaining blank ones . I've checked the settings, display settings, and still cant figure it out.

Also on another note, I tried using Freedom kernal, and the phone wouldnt reboot at all, just got stuck on splash. Then i tried using the Goldenmonkey and it sure was Golden. Phone seems faster than stock kernal and it runs uber smooth. Just putting in my 2cents as i've seen some other mention issues with Freedom.

Hello and thx for any help!

i use: htc hd2

Android Vers. 2.3.3

Kernel: 2.6.32.15_r7_ga8bf8f2 (tytung ubuntu 27

Nexushd2 Gingerbread V2.4 NAND

My problem:

my htc hd2 with original charger is hot to 45 degrees (CPU?) without the battery, sim and sd card

when the battery, sim and sd card are in the connected mobile phone with charger, according SetCPU the battery has 45 degrees and stops to load.

Automatic loading / load controller broken?

many Thanks!
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Your device get's hot without having the battery inserted?

Maybe your device is President Obama's Top Secret Unlimited Regenerable Power Source. :eek:

:D, You language is hardly understandable (to me), but I like the way you follow the rules ;)

The overheating could be due to the Processor being overclocked? What is your SetCPU's profile?
[HD2 General] VandaOstria:
Hi and thanks

Your device get's hot without having the battery inserted? YES IT CAN :-) while connected to the charger

the same when the Batterie is in it and turned on

the phone is not overclocked with setcpu.

IT stops to charge at 45 degress ..... i charge my phone now with a coolingbag, wonderfull!

Do you have a better solution ;-)
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Backup your ROM, flash back to WinMo Stock and see if the problem presists .. then Im sorry but it's probably a hardware issue.

And by the way, what are you exactly charging when you connect to charger without battery in? it doesn't even boot.

[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:
this is a sincere request...

instead of everyone starting a new thread when a FW get released & then creating another one for posting the rooted system.img here is wht i suggest:

Someone please take responsibility to maintain a single [FIRMWARE] THREAD where the OP (1st post) will contain links to latest FW available for d/l... when someone gets hands on newest FW they can post links to it in this firmware thread & the same person or other can post rooted system.img (if required for those who dont want to use prerooted-custom kernels) in same thread... also whenever there is a new FW (generic/branded/regional) available instead of posting it in other sections they can post it in this Dev thread... currently these are getting posted at various places (general section/etc) so all those searching for these FW/FTF files can find it easily...

also we can have a nice tagging system..

e.g.:

Arc-> [FIRMWARE][ARC] Latest FW: 4.0.A.2.368 [Update: 01-Aug]

Neo-> [FIRMWARE][NEO] Latest FW: 4.0.A.2.368 [Update: 01-Aug]

that way it will be easier to follow and search for info when new FW gets released...

i really hope that someone takeS responsibility for creating and maintaining this kind of thread for each Xperia 2011 device...

we had similar thread for X10 and it made life a LOT easier!

hope this will be helpful... once such a thread is formed i request the mods to please delete this thread so as to decrease clutter in the DEV section!

regards,

DooMLoRD

I'll make a thread when I get home later this evening. Index of all available firmwares with links incoming!
[Xperia Arc General] erwin929:
I think it would bee much better if NEO had his own subforum

Lets face it. There can not be 2 diferent models in one subforum.

Something wrong is bound to happen
[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:
actually what i personally feel is that all the Xperia 2011 devices can be clubbed under a single sub forum and then make sub-sub forums for each device... OR just keep the 5 basic sub-sections (Dev/General/themes/Q&A/Accessories) and then everyone should tag the threads properly with device ID... e.g.: say if u want to start a Arc related thread then just start the thread title with [ARC]...

cause if u see most of the things are common for Arc/Play/Neo (and even the new Xperia Mini/Mini Pro/Ray) {though i could be wrong} but all of these do share the same kernel source
[Xperia Arc General] erwin929:
a like this one better:D

one thing is for shure: something has to be done about this:)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjoannou2001:
Hi guys sorry for this thread new here so please go easy on me. Had a galaxy s2 for a few weeks now and i have to say best phone ever. Did the normal rooting and flashing roms and i have noticed recently that my battery has been going down quite a lot after a few hours. I tried roms like Villainrom, Cognition, Batista and etc which i find them very good but on my battery stats it says that i have high display usage and the percentage is like 56 - 85 and sometimes goes and stays to 91. i have since then when back to 2.3.3 stock firmware rooted it as well and i only have display percentage of only 25% which i think is normal and my battery lasts longer. I have spoken to Samsung regarding this situation and they are sending me a new battery but im just wondering why i cant flash a custom rom without having to worry about the high display % and what can i do to fix it? do i have to give it a few days for the battery to settle on the rom or shall i just stay with the stock rom for now till i get my new battery and then try to flash? sorry for the long essay i just need to find out if any one else had the same problem as i really like to use a custom rom that my normal one.

THanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadeveloperian:
I too find it very hard on the battery with all the custom roms that I have tried out. I tried, Villain, Cogniton, LeoMar, Batista, etc..etc..etc. I have in fact tried out all the ROMs out here. Tried even different combinations of Kernel, but all only lead to the frustration when it comes to battery life. I finally tried MIUI ROM and I can say that it is giving me very good battery life compared to other ROMs.

It is interesting to note from you that the STOCK ROM has given you better battery life. Could you please tell me how long did your battery last in Stock ROM and what are the Apps that were running in it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Install Better Battery Stats, I don't think anything wrong with the battery.

See under Wakelocks what apps/processes are going in background and causing the drain. Then take necessary steps with TB Pro.

to xdadeveloporian: thanks for your reply bk and sorry to hear that you had the same issues. like i said above i am very new to all this so apologies if i am replying with noobish comments. with wifi on and the normal widgets i had a battery life over a day. only charged it once and it still going. is that rom that you using now good?

and to ithappy sorry what do you mean by your reply i do not understand sorry. and do you guys think with a new battery it will fix my problems and i will be able to flash roms or do i have a faulty phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
% is not important, what really matters is total time on for the display. Are you sure it isn't that the stock ROM burns more power in other areas, so the display is less? Or maybe the brightness is different? I'm not even sure how the display proportion of battery drain is apportioned - is there really a current sense integrator?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjoannou2001:
now that i have the stock rom with firmware 2.3.3 display is 30% followed by android os 15 - 19% which i think is normal into regards were i was on customs roms and the os was 15% and display 50% and over. brightness is basically at the lowest i can put it i am using touchwiz launcher and i only have two pages with widgets and nothing else. just a bit confusing thats all. i mean with custom roms the battery should be alot better not the other way round if you get me.

apologies if im not making any sense here. thanks again for all your replies it does help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I don't believe that stuff, why battery life would be better in a Custom ROM, because they added/modified some stuffs, nah. You can make a Stock ROM custom with some little modifications if you are rooted and have great apps like Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc. I, for me, will never ever use a Custom ROM. But that's just me, don't take it any personally.

And about battery, don't see that how long are you getting with it, like- 1 day, 2 days, they don't make any sense, just keep an eye on the 'Screen On' time, if that is around or above 5 hours then you are very fine. And also keep checking that your Awake and Screen On bar is synchronized or not, if it is not then you must have something going on background, like- Latitude, Email exchange etc. which you can see under Better Battery Stats. And also, when not needed turn off, 3G, Packet Data, WiFi, Auto Sync, Background Sync and check how many apps are on Auto Sync, if not needed then modify it to Manual Sync.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
Maybe they fixed some bugs - specifically a custom kernel might have improvements or bug fixes (since there is lots of work going on here from many companies making contributions). This takes time to filter through to the official ROMs.

Maybe they removed some of the stock apps which contribute (maybe only slightly) to power drain.

Maybe the small differences in the ROM mean that existing bugs are less likely to have an impact, so even not fixing the bug it seems to have gone away.

Custom ROMs are as likely to make things worse - but if many people are affected then it is likely that someone will track down the reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjoannou2001:
Look all i know is that as soon as i started flashing custom roms on my phone my battery life has been going down like hell. Checking battery stats the most thing that is taking up battery life is the display being as high as 80 even 90 percent. I am not a expert on android having had an iphone all my life so when people say underclocking and other stuff its like new things to me so i do apologise for being such a noob. i do love my galaxy and i think its the best phone out there at the moment. all i need to know is if there is something that i can do to bring the display down and not to have it drain so much out of the battery..

Thanks again for everyone for replying

- Please, the steps are pretty easy, but read them carefully!

- I'm not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone. You are doing this at your own risk!

PREREQUISITIES

- S-OFF

- Root

- a file browser with root acces (ES File Explorer is what i'm using. dont forget to turn root browsing on in settings menu!)

- something that will extract rar files (AndroZip for example)

- create a folder on your SD, and make subfolders '1', '2', '3' and '4' in the folder. just for the convenience

Part 1 - Downloads

1. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!

1.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '1' folder.

2. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!

2.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '2' folder.

3. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!

3.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '3' folder.

4. download THIS file. Credz to phoezies post!

4.1 Place it in the '4' folder. nothing to extract *yaay*

WARNING - if you are doing the whole progress on your phone, which is of course possible, you may get .bin files if you download them.

Please rename them to

.rar

files!! Except from step 4. thats an APK :p

That was easy, right? Let's go on.

Part 2 - Installation

5. Install all the apk's in the '1' folder.

6. select the folder inside '2' and put it on the clipboard (a.k.a copy)

7. browse to '/system/framework' and paste it there

8. select the folder inside '3' and put it on the clipboard (a.k.a copy)

9. browse to '/system/etc/permissions' and paste it there.

10. browse to '/system' and open build.prop (BACKUP FIRST)

11. search the line ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

12. edit 'HTC' to 'Sony Ericsson'

13. Scroll to the bottom

14. add the line: 'ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia

15. Make sure to SAVE the file.

Phew. we are done! Please reboot! And from now on, you can enjoy the Xperia Arc launcher with the Timescape widget/app on your HTC (y)
