[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sorry2U:
I encountered some problems and need some answers while making a cm7 rom.

( Be Prepared :D:D)

1.How to change the whole theme while making the rom? I downloaded a cm7 theme but it just gives an apk file (I need to boot so I can change it in theme chooser), but how can I change it from the start like Sonygenmod and ICS ROM !!?

2.Boot animation does not show up, I tried to put the bootanimation.zip in data/local does not work, tried in System/media where the ORIGINAL bootanimation.zip is but still nothing.

3.Lockscreen themes give something like wltheme.zip , where can I use them and change the lockscreen from the start like problem 1?

Please help if you can, cause I'm dying to finish this ROM
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
1) You need to edit framework-res.apk and systemui.apk

2)might be your boot animation have some problems.

3) idk sorry

I have just moved from my old GS1 to the GS2 and I am super impressed with the speed of this phone. I am however tempted to put cyanogen on this phone however as its still fairly new so want to keep my warranty until I know if there are any issues with this phone.

If I root my phone and perform a NAndriod backup, is it possible for me to go back to stock with no signs of the custom flash? I know its a n00b question, its just that I have never tried this before...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Yes you can!!

You will need

1) An USB jig

2) Knowledge about rooting/installing cwm

3) Balls to flash like a maniac (No, im kiddin')

After rooting with insecure kernel+superoneclick tool method, or simply flashing cf-root kernel, install codeworkx kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693

Now install your CM7 rom.

To go back, restore your nandroid backup (of your original stock ROM) or flash any official ROM from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Use usb jig (buy from ebay or few XDA members actually sell it!) to reset your binary count so that Samsung won't know you have flashed unofficial roms and kernels on your phone. If you are still worried, first use Superoneclick tool to Unroot your phone, then use jig to reset the counter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balavj:
U need to have USB Jig to remove any signs of custom flash...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Very good find, if you had found this yourself. But increasing the charging rate than what Samsung actually put it at will probably have some type of result, like you said overheating. But maybe developers could add this to their kernals, with an option to change charging rate (for speedy charges in certain situations, to slower more stable charges such as at night).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Going up to 1000 IMO is pointless. The difference between that and 950 is barely noticeable. I'd say it would cut maybe .2 hours off a full charge cycle. That's probably a generous estimate.

Our phones, using the wall charger, take around 6 hours for a full charge cycle. This being due to the 450-500 mAh current from the wall charger (don't have it with me so I can't look). This obviously is unacceptable as we've all discovered. So an increase to 750-800 mAh should be plenty. The phone WILL get pretty warm but nothing we haven't experienced in other models. That would drop the charge time to 2.8-2.7 hours.

Also, it would be nice to see kernel developers utilize the trickle charge so we can unplug our phones with a 100% charge, not 97%.

My rambling aside, nice find!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
Really nice find
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
Yes I found it myself. Took a lot of digging through kernels logs and source code but it was worth it.

Here is an idea. Instead of permanently forcing hight current charging i'd love to see devs implement a dynamic rates, where one could change the rate just like we can change cpu & gpu speeds. Anyone up for SetCPU-like system for charging?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Using the stock samsung charger that came with the phone I'm testing, the rates appear dependent on how drained the battery is. If I drain the battery down to 10% and start charging from there, Battery Monitor Widget estimates at 1000 mA give or take a little. As the battery starts getting charged, Battery Monitor Widgets records the charging rate at reduced values. It ends around 260 mA or 180 mA, I forget which, would need to look back at the logs. If I start at 60%, the rate starts off lower, with the same charger.

So I think these are probably max values and there is a separate mechanism to determine actual charging rates based on battery levels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Somebody mentioned trickle charge. Lol That reminded me of the cluster **** that topic created back in the OG EVO forums back in the days.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G WTF BBQ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
That could be true. I did see many other kernel functions that dealt with how much and how fast phone charged. The ones I quoted in OP were the ones that had actual solid numbers in them.

I'll grab my linux box tomorrow (can't do sooner) and will recompile the kernel with the changes I mentioned in OP, just to see what it does. Fingers are crossed that my phone insurance covers melted phones haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zelduy:
My Battery charge very long time from 99% to 100%

but when took off the charger when it's fully charged it drops down to 99% directly...

anybody has this same problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
that's not a problem. it'd be a problem if it were to drop directly to 90% or even 95%. 99% is normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyboy1100:
I like the slow charge time, you get a better charge from it. In fact I'm going to buy a cheap charger and spare battery and use that to charger my phone like I dogs with my evo

yeh strange, like i charged my phone from my laptop's usb,took forever, but when it was full, it was FULL. No instant drop in % when disconnect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyboy1100:
Correct, that cheap external battery charger I had for my evo had a usb port that only output 350ma and I really like that, it may take 6hrs to charge but since I only plug out in when I go to sleep that is ok

I've been using it for over a year with my evo with no problems, it wouldn't charge that fast on my evo though, lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
I looked around quite a bit and settled on this one:

High Power Slim AC Wall Plug to 2 x 5V USB Adapter (click for amazon link)

Slim type so it fits nicely between my bed and the wall. The wall plug is retractable making it quite portable. It has 2 USB plugs each giving 1A. If I remember correctly, it can pump up to 2A if only 1 USB socket is in use. Also, $15 is pretty damn cheap for quality :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Just a word of caution. I wouldn't touch the charge rate.

2 things will happen

1) You will not get a complete battery charge (not going into physical chemistry and physics on this forum but heat is a function of resistance and resistance is a function of capacity).

2) You will destroy the lithium cells faster. (Once again.. physical chemistry but lithium cell design is based upon a stepped charging profile. When you change it outside spec the cells degrade at a faster rate).

Nope.. requires 6 pins to do 2 amp charging or you have to daisy chain both ports (would not recommend).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisbass:
Thank you for well formed and intelligent information.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
Intelligent, but in a way also kinda limited. A decent 1800mAh battery can be obtained for less than $10 and therefore, imo, trading $10 for hella fast charging times is totally worth it. Heck, I'll probably end up upgrading to a newer phone before the battery actually gives out, of which I already have 3 extra :D

ps: i'm not trying to put down the quoted author. just putting out my opinion ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Please see what happens in lithium cell destruction (many examples on youtube and other more reliable sources). Also note the increase in heat will have a positive correlation with hardware failure.

They are limited because I dont have the time or energy to go into this on XDA. Just pointing out basic facts, if you would like to understand why these things occur or why they are potentially harmful, not only to the phone but the user, I can point you at a lot of scholarly publications (not just internet sites that have random facts, but research journals and articles).

Also, No... Those cells are not decent in any way/shape/form. They have a higher probability of destruction (both decreased cell storage and harmful destruction) due to the impurities and lack of certain QA/QC restrictions upon manufacturing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nubecoder:
From my experience there is little to no risk increasing charge rate.

The registers used to set the charge rate have a ceiling.

The batteries have over charge/current protection.

I have personally used these code changes to modify charge control (mV full value, mA full value, etc), charge rate (mA), and fuel gauge display (battery percentage).

I have tested / run this code with non-default values for weeks at a time and have experienced no issues.

Yes, changing the values from default will more than likely decrease the life-span of the battery, but I do not believe there is much risk of explosion or fire.

And yes, I did include some overcharge protection code in my mods, and I included a disclaimer in my app's market info, just to be on the safe side.

But quite frankly, I'm a bit tired of seeing people use youtube videos of people intentionally destroying their RC car batteries (or similar) as a scare tactic against kernel battery mods.

Please show me even just one video of a (modern) cell phone battery, being charged with the phone it was made for, exploding or catching fire.

Here's the battery-charge-control branch of my SPH-D700 (OG Epic 4G) 2.6.35 (GB) kernel.

And here's the battery_mods branch of my SPH-D700 (OG Epic 4G) 2.6.29 (Froyo) kernel.

If you look at the relevant code in the 2.6.29 kernel you will see:

[URL="https://github.com/nubecoder/nubernel-kernel/commit/dc0123d40f6169f1d8b7f4ae1e242ccf4c5dde6c#L4L3092"]reg_buff[0] = (0x0 <<5) |(0x3 << 3) |(0x5<<0) ; // CHG_TOPOFF_TH=10%, CHG_RST_HYS=Disable, AC_FCGH=600mA[/URL]

The maximum possible value that can be placed in the mA part of that register is 0x7 (binary 111). 0x8 would be 1000 and would negate that part of the value (and would also overwrite other parts of it).

I guess what I'm trying to say here is.....

Know and accept the risks in what you choose to do and do for yourself! You cannot know unless you do!

I took the chance while developing the battery charge control changes, I knew the risks involved and decided to try anyway.

My results were exactly what I expected, no fires or explosions, only tweaked battery charging.

ps- Multiple people have ran my kernels, some of which chose to utilise the battery charging mods, not a single person has mentioned any negative effects from doing so.

pss - With the Froyo kernel, they were even given a nice little app to help control the mods. I have not yet updated the app to work with the changes in my Gingerbread kernel, but I do plan to (I included a simple shell script in the kernel for the meantime).

I like your idea about changing the source code to alter the charging rate to 950mA, and I really like the Lite'ning Rom for the GS2. My question is, how do I open up the source code for LR? Wondering if you have to decompile the kernel file, etc??

Thanks in advance :)

Im trying to format system data cache factory reset

and then i have an error on the begin of flashing (CWM 5)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kashem58:
try using x10 flash tool with a stock kernel,

you need to download the kernel (for your phone) which is in .ftf format, then place that file in /flashtool/firmwares folder

turn phone completely off

double click on flash tool.exe, click on 'flash, choose your firmware, OK, then wait for a bit,

read the instructions on the screen

turn phone off

hold back button on phone

connect usb to phone and computers usb (while still holding the back button)

when it recognises your phone it will automatically flash your phone,

after its finished you can choose to root and install xrecovery

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhappybirthday:
No, app uninstalls don't generally clean up data that they save on the SD card. You can check your available SD card space under Settings--> Storage. If it is under 2GB and you don't need both existing Nandroids online, you can copy one off to your computer. They are located in individual folders under:

/clockworkmod/backups

You can copy them back as needed or even from within recovery through the mount options. I keep a library of Nandroids on my computer and generally only keep 1 or 2 on the SD card.
