[Defy General] joydeep1985:
there are several threads for HD2 and desire they are using super amoled screens ... they have mentioned that for super amoled usng black background saves battery ...... cause the pixels are turned off ...

:D

while in case of LCD the pixels are by default turned on .... so if we put black background it actually sucks more juice in case of LCD using Black background . it is advisable to keep white background in case of LCD

:D:D

Motorola defy neither has LCD and definitely not super amoled screen :p......so should we keep black background or white background to save battery ??? i mean ours is Capacitative TFT .... so which on of the case above i mentioned is applicable for motorola defy? :confused::confused::confused::(
[Defy General] dereckzh:
black is prefered, the white one is so dazzle...
[Defy General] Kiristiba:
LOL, the Defy has a capacitive LCD Touchscreen.

So in theorie it is better to have a white background but

the most saving can be achieved when turning down the backlight.

So it is more important to have good contrasts.

greetings :)
[Defy General] MrBelter:
LCD are on all the time when showing black areas or even a full black screen (not the same as being off), unlike OLED choosing a dark background will not save any battery life.
[Defy General] sg3707:
But I have noticed when using dark themes my display consumers less battery.
[Defy General] MrBelter:
Makes no difference, lcd backlight is always on regardless of colour.
[Defy General] rawfire:
Just decrease your phone's brightness, it will consume less battery regardless of White/Black background [which may matters but I never experienced such things]
[Defy General] arvs0z:
Defy uses a LCD screen, therefore turning all pixels on all the time something is displayed. Even pure black pic

OLED screens however benefit from black backgrounds since a pixel is not turned on until it is commanded to display a color other than black. This results in deeper blacks/higher contrast.

therefore, using a black bg on a lcd screen will not save you power. If you experience otherwise, it's placebo effect :)

You didn't accidentaly flash with .pit file?

Or maybe you flashed a ROM for SGS1?

If so, you might need a JTAG kit to unbrick it. There are some services that does it for you though.

You phone is not dead. It happened with me when I tried to update the firmware via Kies, Kies died mid-way giving me that screen.

Turn off the phone by pressing the power button for like 7-8 seconds, then start in download mode as stated above by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power key.

Get the firmware and flash it using Odin.

[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
Is it possibile to change the default battery indicator in stock rom with one that shows percentage level of charge?!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Not in stock ROM because it uses 20% range and only like 5 icons. It doesn't use one icon for each 1% level.

But you could try extracting framework-res.apk and .odex, deodex it, then use UOT kitchen.

Good luck ;)

To say that in my method I use your themes...

Is not possible to install your themes over 10C stock ROM?

Once your theme is installed over 10C stock, does the battery indicator have 101 different icons or it stucks at 6?

Regards!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yes, you can. But I cannot guarantee that my themes will work in firmwares like 10B (I had to update them to 10C nova's framework) or 11B.

It works in 10C, can't tell of others.

Yeah, it will have 101 icons since the files that control it are in framework-res.apk

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Perfect, that is what I though...

In my method I specify how to modify one theme, but the way to install the theme and the possible ROM where to install over are theme specific....

I'm going to put it bold at my thread...

Alright as the Title says I got a problem with Froyo.

First of all, this is the first time i ever tried anything with a cellphone, although so far it went well (took me long though).

First I removed an old version of cyanogenmod from the old user.

Then I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

Then I installed Froyo by Laszlo 5.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929678

Now to my ultimate surprise, I actually got this all done and it works perfectly, except for one thing. Wifi does not work. When I turn it on it starts scanning for networks, then gives the message "unable to scan for network" and Wifi automaticly gets turned off again. Before installing this I always found 2 networks from the point I'm sitting now.

I simply got no clue what it could be.

Some info. Following the guide for radio and boot I got the correct information in the bootloader as mentioned in step 3:

Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on

HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Noddahead:
Little update here. On some forums i found that a file bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi caused a problem like mine. When I plug in my phone in my pc I only see the sd card. Therefore I installed sdk/adb thing, connected with my phone (correctly). and I manually tried to remove the file via cmd. This resulted in the notification that the file did not exist.

Hence, back to nothing. Any way I can make my internal memory show up again?

All in all it seems like I got the same problem as many people had with Froyo. But it seemed solved for everyone after a certain patch. My Froyo version is obviously more recent. And no one seems to have this problem with this version of Froyo (in the Froyo by Laszlo thread page 97ish and forth)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baka2x:
I'm thinking of getting a larger capacity sd card and am curious as to what I need to do. I'm running whitehawk's miui rom and it uses the external as the primary. I also have cwm on the external so what happens there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Cwm is not "on" your external sdcard, it reads files "from" your external sdcard. Just swap the cards and you're done.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Uejji:
There's an alternate to the nvflash method where cwm is installed as /sdcard/update.zip, to keep the stock recovery on the phone but still have cwm when necessary. That's how it's done on my Vibrant, too, for example. Maybe that's what OP means.

In any case, just copy the contents of the old card to the new card. You can do it from within Android if you don't have a way to read the cards otherwise. If you're worried about problems, just backup with cwm before you copy the contents of the SD card over to your PC, then restore the backup after you've copied everything to the new SD if there are problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
An update.zip file is an example of what cwm looks for to flash to the phone. Cwm (recovery) reads the update.zip from the sdcard and flashes it to the phone but update.zip is not cwm recovery.

[Droid Eris General] Framework43:
It's been a crazy 2 years.

Some of us have already moved on to other devices(me2! :D), and some still live here. Some of you , have no idea who I am xD. Most of your upgrades should be soon. (in fact mine is this month) The eris was my first android phone, my door to a magically mystical place I had never been before. While there was a lot of drama, we were able to get root, ***** the device, OC it , and build custom roms. In fact, I was the first person to ever have a rooted Eris(thanks Caboose!) and make the first custom rom for it. I have evolved greatly from these days, and I can always thank my Eris for guiding me the way. If any Evil Eris supporters are still here, thank you so much, I cannot say(or type) the words to show how appreciative I am of you guys. I am now much involved in the Droid X scene. Anywho, I hope you guys enjoyed the phone as much as I did, tell me when your upgrade is, and what you plan to get!
[Droid Eris General] CondemnedSoul:
Now there's a blast from the past. Thanks for everything you've done here with the Eris :) EE was the first ROM I used and used it for quite some time. My upgrade is due the end of Nov. Currently I still have my original Eris which my wife now uses (finally talked her into moving away from her Blackberry ;)) and I'm now on the DInc1 until my upgrade time. My next phone will probably be either DInc2 or Vigor. Still waiting to see come Nov/Dec.
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
Hey Framework43, good to see you posting here again in the Eris forums :).

Been a while since I've seen you, Eclips3, jcase, jamezelle, GrdLock, etc. post over here, but I know you guys are still around, here and there.

I've still got my Eris, but I've been using my Droid X as my day-to-day phone since launch day of last year.

I love my X, but I can't let go of the Eris and still tinker with it as much as time allows.

Still waiting to hear about the next big device to come out, but I really want to make sure that we've got a good dev community behind it and an unlocked bootloader would certainly help in that respect. I think we're all hoping (probably foolishly) that the Bionic might be/get unlocked...(I did see last night that the Photon has been unlocked--although not necessarily by Moto).

Anyway, good to see you here again.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] Alan Wolfe:
My upgrade is September 19. I will probably get the cheapest of the X2, Dinc2, or Tbolt.

I don't want to get a brand new phone for two reasons: 1) I am cheap, and 2) I want a phone already supported by XDA. If you guys have a suggestion concerning another phone I should consider or why I shouldn't consider one of the above let me know. My only restriction is it must be HTC or Moto. I don't want to learn another vendor interface. Did I mention I'm lazy as well as cheap?

The Eris I got for free when my wife got her Droid. I'd like to pay close to that for my next one. She's headed for a Droid3.
[Droid Eris General] snortman:
I've got until next March before I upgrade. I bought my Eris used several months ago because work agreed to pay for our data plans, and it was the only one I could buy for a decent price (my current phone was a Samsung Hue). I'm sure I'll only have a certain amount of funds to pay for my phone at upgrade time, so maybe the T-bolt or other good 4g phone will be free by then.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
LOL - I bought my Eris on drop day, so I'm already eligible for an upgrade.

I had the same "dumb" feature phone for - get this - 5 years before that.

I've been using computers continously since 1976 and can no longer remember how many deskside and laptop computers have passed through my hands, so I don't get all that excited about the prospects of getting "the latest and greatest" any more. Are the new phones that much better? Sure they are.

Having said that though, I will also admit: the little Eris is the coolest device I've ever owned. Maybe not the "best of the bunch" at the time - but that didn't matter to me: I wanted it for its form factor. If I wait a while, the next phone I buy will probably make the same impression on me, rather than just being "a little bit better"... and I won't be married to any carrier at that time.

I'm glad we had the group of devs we did; not every android phone gets the same degree of attention.

The whole time I owned the Eris, my phone kept getting better, thanks to Framework and all the other devs. Pretty awesome that nearly 2 years later, I'm running GB on a phone that shipped as a Cupcake device.

Evil Eris was also the first ROM I ever used. One of my favorites.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Me3, or 4; Evil Eris was the first custom ROM I flashed on my Eris, too. I was late to the Eris game, but in a way just in time as just about the time my Eris shipped to me, 2.1 OTA was rooted, so by the time I received mine I had researched a lot, already knew how to root it and had decided on what I was going to try first. Thank you, FrameWork43 (it's funny, the second time I used EarthLink as an ISP they still had my original email address reserved - roirrawedoreht@, so I chose roirrawedoreht43, either because 42 was already taken or because it was the answer to life, the universe, and everything +1), and to everyone else who has made my phone so tinkerable.

I'm not with Verizon any more, I'm with PagePlus and I love the savings. I do plan on paying retail for some phone hopefully within the next year, but we shall see. I know that no matter how powerful my next phone is when stock, that I still won't accept any that can't be rooted because I love to make things do things they're not supposed to be able to do!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoImportance:
I think the above is an excellent idea. Lets keep all questions about a development separate from the thread which .. well .. discusses it.

So, here is the question:

With the LeoMAR ROM, I received an OTA update. Since installing this update, I noticed that the phone switches off randomly, and has been draining battery at an incredible rate. The base ROM that I installed (1.4) a week ago did not have this issue.

Could someone please comment on whether this is a new issue on the OTA update, or if this is an issue that the OTA installation created? To be clear, this was not existing on the manually-installed ROM, but only with the OTA update provided by the ROM management program.

Subnote: no, I don't need help installing the rom or using it; just trying to figure out when the issue crept in, and whether I am the only user experiencing it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buxz777:
hi i guess you have updated from 2.4 -- 2.5

leomar includes a script which wipes your phone on install , however i think the latest update doesnt wipe the battery stats .

what mods have you included in your build from the kitchen?

do you use bln at all? this can drin battery quicker

i am running 2.5 and it does seem to drain battery a bit quicker then 2.4 but not the sort of drain you are talking about .

leomar2.5 will be in the revoloution folder on your mas memory if you done a ota update , if you think the ota update has caused issues use cwm to install it manualy and then set it up again etc

hope you get it sorted but as i say i am not getting huge battery drain on this rom , i have disabled all bln settings though and even installed a kernel that doesnt support it as i found it drains battery .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I'm gonna say your using the angelom v21/2 kernel...check under about phone...this was known to cause the phone to heat up and reboot...with the revolution app, change the kernel to either ninphetamine or speedmod and see how you go ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoImportance:
This seems to be the problem (went to speedmod, it's one I had used prior to reflashing my phone a few weeks back). I am intrigued though by the promise that ninphetamine offers, but just worried about some of the things I've read. Are there any issues at all with the ninphetamine mode (I use the stock email with exchange, if that is affected in any way).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azulgranas:
Having this problem yesterday, My phone has a huge decline in battery consumption grapth after installing some mods on revolution apps through OTA. For example before updating my battery has over 30% then after completely updating it shows about 13%. Then it increase gradually. I don't know why my phone faces with such a problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoImportance:
Thanks all for the rapid responses. I decided to give Ninphetamine a go since I will be onsite all day, no biggy if I miss some mail as my workstation can get it.

Wow. Just... wow. I know you can't trust "just one day".. but so far am running 12.5hrs and only used 31%. That's about a 50-60% improvement over the previous kernel and I haven't even done any cycles yet.. Will give it a few days, but so far no sudden switchoffs, no weird crashes, and everythings running very smoothly.

If this is the 'real deal'.. omg!
