Hi folks,

I want to share my terrible experience I had yesterday. I was running Devil 14.2_LED_VC and I got only around 8 hours battery life. Everyone here claiming there are even getting 24+ hours.

So I thought (I know it can't be :D) all others are using 14.2_LED (Without VC - I mean Devil users here) so I should try it. So I did a Nandroid backup and used the "Ultimate kernel clean script" and then flashed. Boot into the phone guess what happened! It was super slow and laggy. I used to get 1000+ "Vellamo" but after flashing this kernel only get 800+. In "Quadrant" Nexus S beat my phone!:(

So I wanted to go back so I restore my Nandroid backup. Unfortunately it got stuck after the Devils logo in the nexus boot animation window.

I tried to flash RC 4.2 again same happened. Then I flashed a samsung firmware via ODIN and it worked. Again I tried to restore the backup. Same thing it's said successfully restored and then was staying in the boot animation again for more than 10 minutes....

I had to reflash a samsung rom via odin and then flashed RC 4.2 and Devil 14.2_LED_VC. And I took 3+ hours to configure all my applications and settings. I lost my message history for more than 10 days because I wasn't prepared for this :(

But now my phone is super fast again and I'm getting all the values in benchmarks I used to get yesterday. Battery story is same though :p

So I have few questions!

1) What's wrong with my Nandroid backup?

2) Why there was huge difference and lagging in the Devil versions?

3) How can I make sure my restore will work because I always do nandroid backup to try different kernels and roms?

Any news about ICS 4.0.4? (porting it to sgs)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] revas:

Hmm, another question in this context: I tried to format the external sd and start from scratch, but something went wrong: the sd is not recognized anymore (error when trying to mount it in cwm or windows via cable) - is there any way how to fix this?

****Deep Idle full top-OFF enable script***

NOTE! This can be used on ALL ics roms running a kernel with deep idle and init.d support.

This zip will add a modified screen state scaling script which will disable bluetooth every time the screen is off to enable full deep idle mode. Rc4.1 came with a modified framework which did the same thing however this causes the infamous "wifi bug" because the mod was permanently on.

With this script Bluetooth is re-enabled when the screen turns on so it should eliminate the problem. Deep idle only engages when the screen is off anyway so hopefully this is the ideal solution.

NOTE: this may cause wake up issues and I'm still testing so if it bugs out simply delete the screen state scaling script in /system/init. d

Note: flashing many kernels will clean this script from init.d folder so you will have to re-flash the zip if you change kernel.

To test if it is working switch on wifi and then turn the screen off for 30 seconds. Using NS tools look for didle stats if it shows Top-OFF activity then its working :)

On my device and according to Paul Forde, the NS tools stats only show top=on numbers, before trying this out. Hopefully we'll see both top's now.

You should do! Remember this will mean you can't use Bluetooth unless you keep the screen on... I think I don't use bt but I assume it will kill it as soon as the screen goes off

Hey all!

IMPORTANT

I have found the problem my autobrightness is not working.

It is by standard disabled with default kernel.

Flash Semaphore kernel and use the app to enable it (dark, light or normal) and your auto brightness works.

BUT i am want to test out Devil's kernel now.. But the auto brightness is gone again.

Anyone knows where i can find the script to enable auto brightness directly?

Thx

Hi all,

I am on RC3 with Devils kernel 15.1. Phone is very smooth and fast.

Hence i am reluctant to move to 4.2.

I have a few issues though

1. Whenever i reboot , it reboots with Airplane mode ON. I have to switch it off and reboot again atleast twice or thrice again.

2.Memory issue --Every now and then there is a file in LOST dir folder of 950 mb which takes away most of my int sd space. I have to search and delete that file to regain space. Is this normal in ICS.?It sometimes occupies thumbnail of DCIM folder.

3. While doing a Nandroid back up , it takes about 950 mb space and still wants more memory. While i was in GB Nandroid took only 350 - 400 mb space. I have the same apps. Why is it so?

Any inputs?

i searched the thread but couldn't find a good link...heimdall is not working(that's why i need odin version)...

Nevermind, found one, strange thing happened tonight, my phone was working perfect for couple of days with v4.2 and glitch kernel...battery life was wonderful (i haven't turned off my phone for like 3 days) and tomorrow morning the phone was laggy, so i cleared the cached apps, but still wasn't too good, so i rebooted, the phone went into a bootloop, and recovery got deleted...

i had to flash the fixrecovery, and flash another kernel...don't know what happened...but i guess it was a kernel thing rather than rom

Edit: altough i flashed another kernel, (cleared cache and dalvik before flashing), phone booted correctly but after a minute everything froze totally :D i guess i can't escape this without a factory reset...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] echidna2001:
Just a quick warning about swype on ICS. Do NOT attempt to download additional languages (via the swype settings). Firstly it doesn't work (they say they are working on it), but the main problems are that it will chew up your battery life (I was only getting 4 hours) and it will chew through your data. It had used around 300meg over 2 days before I stopped it.

Other than that, it seems to work fine.

Actually, I haven't had duplicates anymore (*knocking on wood*) since I did this:

1: System Settings => Storage => Unmount SD Card.

2: Manage Apps => clear data from Gallery, Media Storage and Music.

3: Remount SD Card.

4: Reboot.

You could also try a reboot between 2 and 3.

BTW, How's Wien this time of the year? I've been there twice for some training on brewing beer. At Salm Bräu, on Rennweg. But that was in the summertime.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdl1969:
As far as I know, no at the moment there is no way to avoid this. My personal theory on this (and I may well be wrong) is that the problem occurrs because the external card gets mounted in two seperate locations, /mnt/emmc and /emmc and I suspect that the media scanner scans both, hence the duplicates. I've been toying with the idea of hacking the boot scripts to see if I can get the external card to mount to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd so that we would access it in /sdcard/external_sd as we did with Sammy ROMS but haven't had time to try it yet. If anyone fancies having a go at this I'd love to know how you get on and if anyone has tried it and found that it doesn't fix the problem, please feel free to shoot my theory down in flames!! :D

I tried this a while ago and found that my duplicates eventually came back! :(

I'm on 4.2's default kernel. I don't have /system/init.d but I have /etc/init.d so which one do I put it in? Do I have to create the folder myself? Does the script require a reboot or does it work instantly?

To all those with battery problems.

The image the user above has posted shows that the phone is awake for a very long period of time. This is the main reason your battery life's are probably rubbish. There will be an app or process which is doing this, you need to track it down! Do one the following;

1) kill/uninstall each non-system app one by one until you find which one it is (swype is a definite cause btw, as mentioned on this thread *i forget users name*)

2) Uninstall all your apps and only reinstall them on by one, testing battery life as you go.

3) (my favourite option) don't use Titanium backup to restore bijillions of apps in one go. This is a common problem causer, if you backup GB apps and restore in ICS, it is highly likely the some of the data will conflict and cause massive battery drain.

4) Some data from apps can be left behind... *sniff* your phone will be better for it.

The 'awake' bar in battery info should not be blue constantly, unless you are directly using your phone. If you are using your phone for 4 hours constantly, well then, Snap, Crackle and Lulz. If not, try the above...

Hi,

w/o the app: lost 20% in 30 min doing the same things as above.
