I remember that kernel... I don't think ms has updated it in a very long time. I am not sure if there is another kernel that contains the bump charge that he was testing in that release. What ROM are you using? I am assuming you are not Sense since you are using an AOSP kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
yes I'm using sense. I'm on sprint lovers 2.2 Rom. That kernel works with sense too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
I thought that this kernel was AOSP and that is was not meant to support Sense. That could be why some things don't work for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
I dont remember BUT when I ORIG read about this kernel, I think it says for AOSP AND SENSE.. I just used KERNEL MANAGER and downloaded a different kernel and so far good battery life.. doesnt do auto bump charge though but it seem to do wifi tether fine...

Xperia X8 battery capacity tweak

BY FREDDIE, ON JULY 26TH, 2011

Introduction

I have been inspecting the Xperia X8 build.prop file when I realize that the battery capacity parameter was not the same as my hardware listed.

The build.prop has been changed after the Eclair update and SE developer may have change the value for compatibility among all region handset. In Android 1.6 version, the battery capacity was set 1200mAH which is correct for my hardware, however in the latest update the battery capacity has been changed to 950mAH. So I decided to change back the value.

Requirement

Rooted device

Root explorer android application

Android ADB

Notepad+ windows application

Procedure

1. Connect your device, turn on debug mode on your android and run this command in italic.

adb pull /system/build.prop C:\

adb pull /system/bin/build.prop C:\

This will fetch file called build.prop from your android and store it at root of C: drive.

2. Now edit the 2 build.prop using Notepad+ and change the parameter:

ro.semc.batt.capacity=1200

Change from 950 to the capacity of your battery.

3. Open Root Explorer and mount the /system folder to read-write (rw)

4. Store the build.prop file back to the X8 by running command:

adb push C:\build.prop /system

5.Set permissions for 2 build.prop in root explorer like this:

[V][V][V]

[V][0][V]

[V][0][V]

6. Reboot your X8 and see if you can get a better life.

TnX, i'm sure it will work, but i don't have time.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Its true. Can I change it with RE?

Answer: no.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris_Castro:
Sysytem/Bin

I don't have a build.prop on my system/bin...weird.
[XPERIA X8 General] codfreak:
Does this make sense on a custom ROM like GingerDX?
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
I think, yes...
[XPERIA X8 General] jantheg:
Are u sure ???

This is one of the most important files... you must have it...

Do yu have ROOT ???

Do yu have Root-Explorer (or similar) ???

Do yu looked with Root Explorer into /system (should be one of the last ones) and than the 3th of 4th file ist build.prop

and yu must have it...

@Dare-Devil: I changed it with RE... ???

I think we must wipe battery stats after it...

I am gonna have a look if life is longer...
[XPERIA X8 General] like.no.other87:
In GingerDX ROM, the build.prop file don´t have the ro.semc.batt.capacity line, even none linke with any battery text...
[XPERIA X8 General] TakamineSubasa:
This really works??!!
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris_Castro:
Yes, I don't have it...
[XPERIA X8 General] corsav6:
Same in Kuya, is this for stock rom only? Or could i add the line myself?
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris_Castro:
I added the line, now monitoring.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
It exist on Gc rom
[XPERIA X8 General] GHoSTABUD:
Added the line in Gingerdx , now charging, will reply with the results in 2 hours or so
[XPERIA X8 General] boyngeemmaa:
i tried this.. waiting for the result.. i also managed to edit the name below the lockscreen :) im using GC 7.4
[XPERIA X8 General] DougTheModder:
The comment in the previous line states:

# Constant values for Battery test in Service menu

So those values probably are not affecting anything during the normal usage of the phone. They are only used during the test-battery mode, accessible from the secret service menu.

Any other opinions?
[XPERIA X8 General] sanderbouw:
i've found this in the build.prop of the gingerdx as well: :D

ro.product.brand=Sh!tEricsson
[XPERIA X8 General] Atish91:
Same :D ro.product.brand=Sh!tEricsson

+1 to Dx :D
[XPERIA X8 General] dmcb123:
how did u change the text below the lockscreen? :O what file is it in?
[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:
And? does this really work? im on gingerdx!

Goodbye!
[XPERIA X8 General] dmcb123:
if i reboot my phone after inserting this line it just gets rid of it......
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris_Castro:
Are you making changes to both files?
[XPERIA X8 General] sapabg:
Anyone confirmed this already?
[XPERIA X8 General] speedfreak9:
Hi, i also dont have build.prop in system/bin.
[XPERIA X8 General] exebreez:
I'm waiting too. Because it could be a cool improvement :)
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
its helped me...;)
[XPERIA X8 General] exebreez:
Nothing against you Tony-Noob but why couldnt you give me a good understandable answer?
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
becouse my english is not too good and writing in english is hard to me...
[XPERIA X8 General] exebreez:
I have my problems with english too. ;)

Could you or anybody else confirm a longer battery life?
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
i confirm a longer battery life... but but I can not say for sure because I always update the rom...
[XPERIA X8 General] exebreez:
Thanks :P

I must see it for my personal use but i trust :P
[XPERIA X8 General] GHoSTABUD:
Guys, I can confirm it works, just calibrate after adding the line, battery dropped by 10% after 1.5 hours of wifi and surfing the web and 1 hour standby, u do the math :D
[XPERIA X8 General] exebreez:
Now, i can confirm that to. But Tony theres another theard which has this and other nice tweaks ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] BIG JD:
Nice mods to the build.prop it gave me a total of 3hour 21mins overall a+ mod thank u my phone now lasts for 2day 6hour 13 min and that wifi on all the time and sum of my other mods as well

super.sense on x8
[XPERIA X8 General] speedfreak9:
Hi, how do you calibrate the battery? I,m on the stock SE 2.1.
[XPERIA X8 General] GHoSTABUD:
Fully charge then wipe battery stats using xrecovery or battery calibration app(search for it in the market)
[XPERIA X8 General] speedfreak9:
Thanks, i've been searching a lot on how to do that.
[XPERIA X8 General] mikel_0004:
how will i know right value/capacity of my battery?... sorry im still a newbie... thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] speedfreak9:
The capacity is written on the battery.
[XPERIA X8 General] lvoonjian8888:
How about if I bought a 1800 mha battery and I am using gingerdx. Did I add a line below the build.prop and change 1200 to 1800 then should be ok??
[XPERIA X8 General] biluwky:
Haiii...

i am using Gignerdx v13... :)

was it include this change in that version... :confused:

bcz my battery life morethan 2 days without charging... :D

(sms, calls, wifi & music etc..):p

Is that will make my battery life more if i change like this.... :confused:

thanks...:)

Sorry for bad english... :(
[XPERIA X8 General] -ReaL-:
this "tweak" does not affect the duration of the battery life:D This is only for information display like firmware version.

Set it to 10000 mah - your phone must work for a few weeks?:D

you're on the placebo effect
[XPERIA X8 General] zeassumpcao:
I changed the values of my X8 for testing and got to no significant results.

As -Real- said above, I felt no changes in the duration of my battery.

The charging time was the same, as well as the discharging.

The difference was about 4 minutes of battery life...

I do not confirm this for now. I'm repeating the test at this moment and later I'll post the results.
[XPERIA X8 General] mikel_0004:
really???!!!!! how??:confused: im also using gingerdx v13 and its hard for my x8 to last for 2 days... right now im just using setCPU for battery saving...

Hey guys,

This thread has lots of tweaks, try em cuz now I have a much smoother scrolling as well as a better battery life(battery lasts about a day n a half with about 20 hours of wifi and music at the same time :D)

Add the lines u think u could use
[XPERIA X8 General] SeviStein:
Hey I had a problem with battery drain too. But now it seems to be fixed for me.

What I did:

I installed GingerDx v013 rom.

Then I formated the SDCard.

Then do a full wipe.

After that I turned off the phone and charged it to 100%.

Then fix Battery Stats

I moved every app to the Sd card and installed any new apps there.

Now you can do some Battery Calibration, download the app with this name (I read it works after multiple calibrations, always recharge to 100% before doing. Do it 4-5 times.)

Now you should have longer battery life.
[XPERIA X8 General] gmaster47:
how do I run the command? (Noob question)

Should I run it in CMD of my computer or inside my X8?
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
in adb....

Ive been a long time follower of the Streak but never picked one up, I'm looking for something that I can use to browse the web, play music / video and show off my photographs and I was wondering if people have found the 5" screen to be big enough for this purpose on the Streak?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHildebrandt:
chrism..... If you want the capability to connect to the internet without having to rely on wifi only, there's really no other alternative to the Streak (with largest screen that will still fit in your pocket). I've used about every "premium" smartphone there is, and nothing even comes close to my Streak. Get one .... you will not regret it! Good luck with your search :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHildebrandt:
Oh, and yes, it's perfect for watching videos / looking at photos because it has great contrast (dark blacks)..... I've read a couple of reviews that say "It's one of the best non-AMOLED screens on any device" for viewing content

Best smart phone I've owned!

Got mine Oct last year, out of the box, was better than my three previous win mobile phones, even if it did have 1.6 on it!

Updated in Dec to 2.2, now still running 2.2.2 and with some MINOR memory tweaks, ditching the bloat, and ditching the dell launcher, installing go launcher, this thing is LIGHTNING fast, and smooth. Runs a few days then I reboot it, just for my personal tastes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
I bought nexus s yesterday and i was quite disappointed by it because of its channel support (my router is 13 and there is no way in hell to change its channel unless i contact ISP then they do it which won't be happening until monday) and because of the non gorilla glass on nexus s...i can't think of anything but to return the phone on monday but now i have two other choices in the same price range on contract....

I can either go with galaxy s plus which has a relatively faster processor, bettery battery life compared to galaxy s but a crappy GPU and here i was thinking about playing games on my phone...but now i think about getting galaxy s, then i think about slower processor but if i go OC it, my battery life would be killed...

I really don't know and couldn't think of anything but to ask you guys. You guys are my last hope :/

[HTC EVO 3D] yahya.hamid:
We have seen tons and tons of modding of Sense 3.0 but honestly speaking these are more "Thematic Mods" than real Mods. Yes we have blue, red, pink and you name it and you get it colours available for lockscreen, rings, clocks, statusbar and you name it and you get it graphical items.

Most of you will agree these are skin changes and not real mods. Most android launchers these days have features we would love to see in our dearmost SENSE launcher, but as yet, we have not crossed that mod level. Back in the WM6.5 days, we had a super application called co0kies Home tab and most old folks would agree with me that this app rocked. Today that kind of sense modding is over UNLESS we flash a new ROM.

Is the sense Modding a DEAD END or is ROM development the only choice????

With this thread lets highlight and point to some of our incredible developers that we would love to have the following features and real mods in our dear sense package NATIVELY via tweak or apps.

Ability to hide status bar like in all other launchers merely by a gesture.

Ability to add delete number of homescreen pages WITHOUT ROM flashing.

Ability to lock / hide the Notificatios tab besdies the "Quick Settings" tab in the new Sense status bar.

Ability to change icons and their names as in all other launchers.

Ability to sort apps and hide apps from Ap drawer.

Ability to auto hide the Sense ARC at the bottom of the screen much like the Windows taskbar on pc.

Ability to change grid size in respect of coloumns and rows. Also very much achievable in almost all launchers.

The ability to change widget sizes as available in Go launcher and others.

3D rendering of weather on lockscreen. It would be nice to have EYE POPPING weather animations on lockscreen suing full 3d capabilities. I can do the 3D Rendering if any dev is interested in development

Please post simlar sense 3.0 mods you would like to have natively in sense 3.0 launcher and lets catch the interest of developers.
[HTC EVO 3D] civicvx94:
I think one highly desirable mod is workspace size, 5x5, 5x6..etc.. I've been working on it for a while with not much success..

I always seem to run into problems with recompiling Rosie. If I decompile a Rosie.apk with dependencies, then try to immediately recompile, the size is always significantly different (~1.8mb vs ~12mb). I've went ahead and made changes to some of the xml files within, but the size is always way off when it is recompiled...if it gets that far and doesn't throw an error...

It would be awesome if a more experienced dev could take this on or offer some guidance..

I think we all can agree 4x4 sucks on a qHD screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] yahya.hamid:
updated the first post with it.

Also added the 3d weather animation lockscreen. I can do the rendering of 3d if any dev is interested.

LETS KEEP SENSE ALIVE
[HTC EVO 3D] kratos313:
Sounds good have you anything ready for testing?

Awaiting Assimilation
[HTC EVO 3D] SilverSuperman:
I totally agre. Im getting tired of using sense and not being able to change certain aspects of it that should have been changable from the get go. Sense is gret but it needs to be greter" so im sure that some other devs here that have the awesome knowledge will soon begin to consider these things. I am willing to donate for this type of work when the project begins. This is a great convo starter and im glad someone has came to point this out.
[HTC EVO 3D] pamplinas:
The only thing I would like is to be able to resize widgets if is even possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] yahya.hamid:
Yess. We can see different ROMS exploring different things. But at the same time we see different launchers providing functionalities which are awesome.

SENSE 3.0 as a launcher is dying out. We have themes for sense and that is all. Launcher functionality is Sense is limited. We had an excellent program called co0kies hometab for WM 6.5 and it allowed all types of customizations. However, most people today feel easy to download an alternative launcher over sense 3.0.

Lets keep this launcher alive.
[HTC EVO 3D] yahya.hamid:
Its possible in Go launcher. I have already added it to the top post.
[HTC EVO 3D] civicvx94:
I think it is possible, it was done on older versions of Sense..The widgets size themselves according to the layout size. You can't resize them on demand tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] SilverSuperman:
Its odd how sense 3.0 has an edit button when u long press on an icon or widget but u cant always use it and that grinds my gears because i feel it being mostly pointless of it being there. I hope it changes to have better functionality instead of a ui change like in the supposedly leaked sense 3.5. What a nightmare that is. Lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
I would like the rgb color widget that's in cyanagen mod so you can make your phone just one color like blue or green or red. Also if some can find me some pngs of the death star rotating I will make a star wars themed lock screen
[HTC EVO 3D] civicvx94:
This app I found on the market can provide the color rendering screen effect. Here's a link to the free/demo version, the full is $0.99
[HTC EVO 3D] yahya.hamid:
Just tested Go launcher. Apart from htc widgets, all wallpapers and live wallpapers from HTC including weather and htc hub is accessible from the GO launcher.

Plus HTC lock screen is also there with weather.

I wish OUR SENSE has these features.
[HTC EVO 3D] NRGZ28:
"Old folks" ? LOL Dude... the cookie home tab mod was release almost a year ago in November (for the 2.0 ver). That's not THAT long ago.. LOL

Development for Rosie is not going too far because we don't have a cookiemonster equivalent in the Android world. All real modding is done in smali and I only know of ONE guy that can do serious modding to it.. RomanBB.

Unless we get someone like cookiemonster, Sense modding will never take off.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:

BTW, OP...nobody messes with Sense since it's so much easier to just drop Launcher, Luancher Pro, ADW, etc in the ROM, instead.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kalizu:
First post. :P

Okay, so I've already searched the Desire forum for any sign of custom rings for the Sense 3.0 lockscreen ports, and I haven't found any. I can only see them in the other forums, such as this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137442 in the Desire HD Forum. I really wanted the standard one, so I downloaded it, and tried to flash (thinking that maybe it'll work because my Desire has the Sense 3.0 lockscreen port).

However, the installation fails when I try to flash it in recovery. Never giving up hope, I opened the zip in ES File Explorer, tried to manually install the apk's (fusion.apk and idlescreen_base.apk). Only the idlescreen apk manages to get to the "warning" that you'l replace a system app, while the fusion apk gets a "Parse error". I didn't attempt to install the idlescreen apk alone because it'll probably need the fusion.apk to work (And I might probably mess up something if I did).

So my question is, can it be ported? (Or at least find a way to manually create them for the Desire) Or is there really no other way for it to work? (I'm running AcesMod007 v34 btw.)

Thanks in advance. :D
