You can also try Greenify that hibernates the apps that you choose when the screen is off unstead of freezing them. (can't post link but search for it in the market)

For more informations about this app search for its topic in xda forums.

Yes, Greenify is a nice app, it's better to hibernate the apps instead of freezing them.

I wonder whether it is possible for someone to send me a stock nandroid back-up of their I9001

I've accidentally deleted my play store and have pretty much tried everything to get it to work

Installing a new Google play apk, flashing gapps, but every single time it fails to login and even creating a new account doesn't work due to a untrusted connection or something along these lines. The worst thing is that my usb port of this phone is broken(luckily I have an external charger) so Odin is also ruled out, it doesn't really matter what ROM you have. I hope somebody can help me out of this

Fully charge your phone and when the battery is about 10%, open the app and select "Partial wakelocks" in the first tab and "Unplugged" in the second tab. You will see which apps woke up the phone. Also by selecting "Other" in the first tab, you can see the awake time vs screen on time. Also post its screenshots here.

Hi

Has anyone had a similar issue with TWRP?

I used to have TWRP 2.2.1 for few months and that was working fine. Just that while trying to install one of the JB Google apps packages out used to fail. So last month I upgraded to TWRP 2.4.4.0. It worked perfectly fine until last week.

The issue is when I am in recovery mode the phone doesn't stay on for more than 2.5 mins, even if I just keep the phone idle. So I'm not able to create backups or Restore backups. And I cannot probably install a new ROM as I'm afraid the phone will go off in b/w and that I'll have no working ROM.

I have tried going back to Twrp 2.2.1 and re-installing 2.4.4.0. But, the problem persists. The issue is my backUPS of CM10 RC1 by ivendor are in 2.4.4.0 format.

I'm currently shtick with Samsung stock ROM. So please suggest a solution. Will upgrading TWRP help? which is the most stable version? Why does this turn-off issue occur?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schur1k:
I recommend you to use cwm 5.x its the most stable for now ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
it is a problem with the option file of TWRP. you find it in your internal sd card in TWRP folder and is named .twrp

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolo32:
TWRP power-off issue

Hi dagothe9,

Thanks. That seems like a really easy fix. I found a .twrps file in my TWRP folder. But, even after I deleted it the phone powers off after a few mins. :(.

The last successful backup (done with TWRP 2.2.1 last week) was of Samsung ROM and it restored "recovery", "boot", "secure" partitions as well. Could that have caused this power off problem?

Since deleting the .twrps file didn't work I installed TWRP 2.2.1 and that is not powering off.

Folks,

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

There is no official version of CWM for SGS+, right? I remember seeing the link to CWM in ivendor's and arco's threads so downloaded clockwork-5.5.0.4 and 6.0.2.8 from there. Would that suffice? Where did you download the CWM 5.x file that you use?

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

One more final question for the day from my side. Is it possible to restore ROM+DATA using a different version of TWRP than the version that was used to create the backup. For example - can I restore a ROM backed up using TWRP 2.4.4.0 using a backup created via TWRP 2.2.1 ? Would that be safe?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblaster:
Try this:

You have twrp 2.2.1 atm, right??

Flash any version of twrp e.g 2.4.4.0, and don't reboot. Use the file manager to delete the .twrps file in TWRP directory (you are still in 2.2.1). Then reboot to recovery.

Also one more thing: Once you boot to recovery, reboot again in the recovery, that makes it more stable.

I use twrp 2.4.4.0, and have no problems with.

Good Luck!!

And make sure you reboot to recovery every time you use it. It might be a bit annoying, but it'll be safer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolo32:
No recovery mode?

Thanks for the advice. I will make sure I reboot into recovery every time after I use TWRP. That is what you meant, right? Just curious, how this help.

I had a scare today. I had done a clean install of CM10 and then tried to install the phenom kernel. But, while trying to boot my phone was getting stuck at the cyanogen mode animation. Since I anyway had to do a fresh install I decided to install CM10.1 from xistence. I started the install and left the phone for about 5 mins. When I got back the phone had switched off. When I tried to start it I found that CM10.1 was installed properly but, I didn't have GApps. I was not able to go into recovery even after multiple attempts.

Finally I connected using ODIN to do a force upload but, then realized I had deleted the RAR files of TWRP & CWM since TWRP was working so well (i.e. until last week). I selected the enable debug mode and did something (which even I don't remember). After that when I tried to boot into recovery it happened and I managed to install GApps. So I had a happy ending after all.

But, any idea why I wasn't able to boot into recovery mode? And did connecting with ODIN in force upload mode fix the issue? Best to know the cause and things to avoid for future. :)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblaster:
I meant, just as you boot to recovery for anything, before performing any action, restart (reboot) the recovery again, and do whatever you want to do.

I don't know what effect it has on the recovery, but i read in the recovery thread that this stabilizes the recovery.

Also for the strange behaviour, post it in the recovery thread, maybe the devs could tell something :/.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balleny:
Heyho,

yes i am a newbie to this forum and ofc i got some questions and i am very glad for all the help i can get ;)

after using my sgs+ for more than 1 year and finally having some time i thought about rooting / flashing it. (ahhh and ofcourse seeing other running around with ICS / JB made me interested into it even more)

up to the moment my i9001 is untouched, just updated it too 2.3.6 within the time with kies.

i already looked up the wiki, read some threads and here are my questions:

1) i read different ways about rooting but i think the way mentioned here in the forum is the first thing i should do and one of the easiest, right?

2) i understood that the kernel is the real core of the maschine, "teaching it to work with commands" and the rom could be described as the OS (not exactly the point but just to seperate them of each other) or did i missunterstood something?

3) finally to the flash process: i noticed "all" are using ODIN or ODIN multi downloader but often there is the Clockworkmod (CWM) mentioned which seems to be a replacement for a build in recovery mode. the problem i noticed is that on the offical side i wasnt able to find a version for the sgs+, it wasnt even listed (the sgs was), i guess i can use another recommended in the ROM threads but i just want this verified.

4) i am mostly looking for a 4.1. version cause as far as i know by tests the 4.1. was better of than 4.2 or older versions. ( the offical delivered versions ofc)

5) talking about ROMs the first and i think most known Cyanogenmod is coming in my mind and i think it is a huge improvement to the original version but is it "fast" and stable while working well? (long time ago there was much rumour about not working cameras / realy fast empty batterie) and which version would you recommend me based on 4) ? (just looking for a "new" os with some less stuff i dont need like stupid hotel apps, but i would like to continue being able to use things like the playstore / gmaps)

i hope i am in the right thread to receive some help (if there is another thread for Q&A for i9001, pls switch the post over or if you delete it, send a copy of the text via pm :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubuntu-i9001:
Wow i hope all noobs become like you and do some homework i will tell you things in short no problems in cm10 (cyanogenmod 4.1.2) the problem of camera is because of the RAM expansion by some kernels if you don't care about high quality videos recoding then use the highest ram available

For rooting this is the best way and easiest i used it my self

For flashing Odin only for stock ( such as old samsung ROMs ) CWM & TWRP are for ics and above ROMs

Welcome to XDA!

First of all, take a look at this guide, it will answer many questions of yours: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1578821

Now here are the answers to your questions. I'll do my best to explain everything.

1) Yes, this is the easiest and safest way to root your phone, for more info, open the thread linked in the wiki.

2) ROM is the OS, and kernel tweaks the rom for better performance, battery, etc. Every rom has it's own kernel, and custom kernels can be used if you need more performance, etc.

3) You have to flash a custom recovery, such as cwm, to flash custom roms. This will be done via odin, and after that, you can just place the rom zip on your sdcard and flash it via custom recovery. There is no official version of cwm for S+, however you can use the one mentioned in ivendor's CM10 (use the version 5, as it the most stable one). If you want to know how to use cwm, just google it, you'll find many tutorials for that.

4,5) I recommend you to use ivendor's CM10 (it's version 4.1.2). It's fast, stable and doesn't has any bloatware. To flash that rom, you'll find instructions in the thread.

I hope that's enough info for flashing, however if you still want to know something, just post it, i'll try to help as much as possible.

CM 10

i already flashed recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8 onto my sgs+ after i rooted it. i took some backups etc

now the following parts:

1) charging mobile fun

2) downloading "2013-04-04: CM10 Release 1"

3) downloading "gapps version 20121011" although they seem to be outdated (atleast they seem to need a upgrade)

4) putting both on my external sd

5) factory reset in the recovery mode

6) flashing cm

7) flashing gapps

8) ? profit ?

i took some backups of sms / call history and a app list, do i need more backups of datas like the IMEI (or how it is called and how to i take them the best way?). i did the *#1234# and took the pda, phone and csc numbers.

the gapps are apps like the play store, google maps and co, making me able to connect my sgs+ to google to get my phone contacts synchronised, correct?

anything else i might should know before proceeding?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblaster:
Do not rename the backup folders, and if you have done so, delete them and make new ones.

1,2,3) Fine.

4) It's better to put them in the internal sd and flash from there.

5) Factory reset + Wipe cache + Wipe dalvik cache.

6,7) Right.

8) Pretty huge profit :D.

It's good to backup sms, call history and app list, and if you have titanium backup, you can also backup all the apps with their data. And no need to worry about the IMEI.

And the gapps are the google apps, though google maps is not included in them. I guess you have to install it from play store. Once you flash the rom, you will have to set up your gmail acc. and if you have your contacts in your acc. they'll be synced. Just to be safe, backup them too if you can.

Good Luck!

Recovery rebooting

Hi guys, I have a question. I use TWRP 2.2.2.1 recovery and sometimes when I'm in recovery mode my phone just randomly reboots. It dosen't happen very often, but sometimes it reboots in the middle of flashing, so I have to do everything again. I'm on xxkpl baseband and my chip is threatened by the emmc brick bug (which is why I switched to TWRP). I can also add that this happened with the CWM recoveries as well.

cm has a kernel but from signatures i see many ppl using phenom / castagnit ?
