i have this on my GNEX and it is awesome.

yeah some little quirks BUT, definitely prolonging my battery due to wifi/mobile data management.

i'm not experiencing the unresponsive issues and stuff you guys are reporting..

maybe its another app????

i'm getting more than 16hrs on my phone.

as for ultimate. no need for that unless you have a rooted phone.

pro is very good.

i picked up th pro version for $0.99 when it was on sale.

JuiceDefender Ultimate

Hi,

I'm using it on my rooted GN 4.0.1, works well.

By using 3G/WLAN management I come up to 25 - 30 hours lasting battery power.

At home and in my office I told JDU (JuiceDefenderUltimate) to switch to those WLAN's and disable 3G there.

I'vnt tested all the other features like cpuspeedcontroll, or something else.

For me it works perfect.

regards

J.M.

Steps to prove yourself incorrect:

1) Install OSMonitor

2) Open GMail

3) Go to homescreen and open OSMonitor

4) In the process list, make sure GMail is listed (it should be!).

5) Press the Multitask soft button and swipe away GMail.

6) Check for GMail in OSMonitor and it will have disappeared as it is no longer running.

Magic!

Sorry I'm just on a personal mission to stop this misinformation from being spread.

---------------

On-topic: I've used JuiceDefender Ultimate on all three Nexuses over the years and I certainly think that it makes a big difference by turning wifi off when not in use and turning mobile data off when the screen is off, although I have loads of other settings configured within the app also.

JD Works Great

I have been using JD Ultimate on my Nexus and it works great (I would estimate 1.5 - 2x battery life).

I used the Nexus for a little over a week without JD just to have a set expectations of what my battery life is without JD.

I have not seen any bugs with this up til now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmulvany:
I get the same issue and I dont get it when I uninstalled Juice Defender

My phone also reboots randomly and I am wondering if its linked toJuice Defender. The reboots only started recently
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
I use JD free on my GN, although I haven't seen what battery would be like without JD on it. On my Incredible, JD made the difference between not getting though a single day to getting almost 2 days out of my battery. On my GN with JD I'm still only getting about one full day's worth out of it, sometimes not quite a full day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gionik:
I am using Juice Defender Plus and it is set to manage it self then WiFi and 3g network. I am using wifi at home and in the office,and the rest -3g

In my opinion....jd plus does worth the money spent.

14 hours and 20 minutes used - 46% of battery left
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] okayokayokay:
Ice Cream Sandwich seems to do a lot of the things that JuiceDefender did on my old phone. For example, data is automatically turned off when you are connected to WiFi. I had it installed for a while, but when I looked at the list of apps that were using the battery (in the Android settings menu) JuiceDefender was listed as using a fair amount of battery. I'm not sure it is worth the hassle on this phone.

Ok, I'm hoping someone on here can help me with my problem. I have already been to this thread, tried every trick that was posted, and am still having problems. I rooted my phone and uninstalled some apps. I accidently deleted one app (I believe it was the Dialer program.) After that I would get a error message that poped up every couple of seconds that said I needed to force close a program. So I decided to do a factory reset of my phone (and no I didnt back anything up.) Now my phone wont go past the setup screen (touch the android to begin.) I eventually found out about the adb and fastboot (I'm a noob to all of this. Good with computers, not so much with phones) installed them, and after some tinkering got them to work.

Now I'm stuck. when I run the command 'adb devices' it will show my phone, but only if it is in bootloader mode. It also shows up in device manager. If I try to boot the phone to the set up screen now suddenly nothing shows up. It dosent show anything in device manager, nothing in comand prompt with the "adb devices' command. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them but windows does this automatically (and it says its successfull)

Thats problem 1. Problem 2 is that when I try running the 'fastboot devices' comand nothing shows up. which is just grrrrr...

After messing with this for two days I tried the flash_image method. I'm not getting anywhere with that. Anyone know a good tut for that with my device?

I just want my dam phone back, hopefully someone on here can help me with this...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamnik:
Well, I followed the method here:

http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/

To get S-OFF, flash a custom recovery (Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4), and got root.

Now, when I go into the CWM (it seems to work):

And then select anything (e.g. backup and restore), it just displays the background:

And doesnt do anything. Pressing the power button simply brings it back to the previous screen (shown above).

Funny thing is, I did manage to install the root zip through CWM earlier, then used Titanium backup, rebooted, and now this happens :confused: What's going on. Should I try flashing recovery again?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrian:

Yeah, sorry to bump this old thread, but Im currently having the exact same issue on my HTC Wildfire. The power button just gives the same background as seen in OP.

The trackball doesn't seem to react on presses, so I have currently no way of flashing a new rom to it. Anyone can help me?? :/

hi all i just got my galaxy s2 today and have no idea where to start with putting a rom on ot anything. so any help would be great thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
First you need to be rooted(your phone not you:p)and then go to the Development section and you will find a list of different ROMs.Its a matter of finding what you want in a ROM and downloading and trying each one.Usually the ROM page has the download and install instructions writen on it.You need to be rooted to have CWM.Ill leave a link to my ROM so you can see what I mean.Below the different ROM versions you will see install instructions.If your not sure what root is let me know:D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Spend some time using your phone to get used to It before flashing. This will give you a better idea of what you like and don't like about it.

Armed with that info you can read up on each custom Rom to see if they offer what you want.

Read read and when you think you are ready to flash read some more.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gav6363:
Hi thanks for your reply and im not sure what root is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaltitude:
X2 read alot, play with the phone, figure things out. There is so much to learn so you don't turn your phone into a brick. Rooting means you become a superuser, you take ownership so you can customize your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gav6363:
yes i realise this. my cousin does this alot with his galaxys s2 root it etc. and his set up is amazing. i will just need to get used to it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Yeah buddy it won't take you long to get a handle on things. It's pretty easy to get it right.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gav6363:
Thanks im sure it wont well i hop not lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Please don't even think about flashing a custom rom or rooting your phone until you're comfortable/confident enough to do it without making posts like this.

I have seen so many people in your situation on here stuff their phone up over the last few weeks because they were in too much of a hurry to mess with their phone.

AceOfClubs (and others) has given you good advice, heed it :-|

Read the CFRoot thread until you are so confident with rooting the phone that you could do it in your sleep, and then root your phone with the CFRoot kernel that corresponds to your current stock kernel. Not before.

From there, read the various development threads about different roms/kernels, get to know the various features/advantages of each (and ask questions if necessary...about the rom/kernel itself, not the process of flashing same) and then when you've settled on a rom or kernel and you're completely confident about the flashing process, flash it.

Doing this will mean you'll get it right the first time. This will result in:-

A) You not posting yet another "OMG mah fone is teh brikked helpz !" thread.

B) You not having to do without using your phone for x days (weeks) should you mess it up.

Clear ? Good :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gav6363:
Hi im not in a rush to do it so dont worry and im not comfortable to do it yet either. untill i am it will stay as stock. Thanks for your concern
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Root is changing the kernel in your phone to give you super user access which is needed to flash ROMs and firmwares.Also along with flashing there are other things to read up on like an EFS/IMEI file backups which are vital,also nandroid and Titanium backups.As you can see there are alot of good people here willing to help with good advice and all are correct in saying that you shouldnt rush into things.Take your time,read up and dont be afraid to ask questions.Play with your phone and when you know it well enough and have seen enough threads on what and what not to do then you can take the first step and root.First read up on rooting then EFS/IMEI backups and why they are needed.The rest will come in time.Id rather see you here asking questions and not in another thread saying "Help I just bricked my phone:eek:!!"
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
I have a Fire in the closet in the Amazon gift wrap which I originally purchased for my 10 yr old. She is pretty responsible so far but she is very very private and is not very open to talk about much, fairly introverted, heavy reader and artist.

So with the latest update still not providing any parental controls over content....yes I know I can use my router to filter traffic for the browser but I can't filter Amazon content. I can lock her out from making the purchase in the latest update I see.

At any rate, I am an avid phone tweaker and am pleased to see CM and ICS is well underway for the Fire.

My question is, is there any type of controls planned or built into the current custom roms or through third party apps? Would I be better off putting CM or ICS on it and using the Google Books and other apps for content? Or do you think I am better off letting her use it out of the box? She's 10 yrs old so she doesn't care about browser performance or quadrant scores.

I am wondering which will provide the best experience while giving me the most control over the use and content available on the device?
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
As a parent myself my main concern would be control over purchases, as far as censoring content I'm a firm believer in letting children explore their curiosities and interests without a whole lot of intervention on my part aside from the open invitation that they can talk about anything at anytime. There are apps available that would allow you to lock out apps of your choosing, I'm sure if you do a search on the market you would find something suitable to your needs. As far as custom roms vs. amazons rom I don't personally think either one would be better than the other for this purpose. Hope I helped you in some way and I apologize if I didn't.
[Kindle Fire General] Shark_On_Land:
Black anything with black men. Don't want her turning in to Dakota Fanning in The Secret Life of Bees movie.
[Kindle Fire General] usurpine:
I have 3 kids. I am not censoring them, thats imho not necessary. My parental control is that i have personal look to what they are doing and i think its better to do that personally instead of using censorship programs.

Because my kids know how to workaround any censorship software anyway, they are not stupid. But basically they are not interested in stuff that will be censored anyway.

Typical american censorship anyway is very stupid. Not to allow porn stuff but to allow brutality and murdering and killing people is pretty much pathetic.

So i better stick on talking with my kids about what they are watching, if i find something where i should be concerned.
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
so the reality is i cannot sit on top of my kid all the time nor do i desire to, i do follow up and leave things always open, i am not looking for a passive parenting tool, nor do i really give a damn what anyone else thinks about my methods. I do not believe in censorship. I also don't think it is appropriate to put something in a 10 yr olds hands that has access to absolutely anything the internet has to offer. To me that is a bit of apathetic complacency....."they aren't interested in that stuff". Fine, if they aren't they won't miss it anyways then. Exactly what positive could possibly come from them having access to everything out there at 10 years old? Life is really long and serious, there is plenty of time to learn about the world, in due time, no need to accidentally learn about Big Black ***** go to Vegas #18 at age 10.

So my question remains, which rom would you choose? The official Amazon OS with only access to the Amazon market and content and being subject to whatever Amazon pushes my way, or the CM/ICS experience that gives me complete control, access to the official android market, and no restrictions on what browser, etc....can be used.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
There is no kid version... You are asking for complete control from someone who might possibly end up knowing more about the device than you do. Kids have something that parents dont.... lots of time.

You might get more capabilities with a non-Kindle Rom, but I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for.

10yo is a bit young to have that type of unfettered access... I know what I would have done with it when I was that age.

My two kids are grown up, but they would have been okay with it. I know other kids that other family members have where there is NO WAY I would give them a device like that at that age or even much older.
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
I would say filter at home through the router. Asfor content and filtering, i thimk the stock rom is best.
[Kindle Fire General] neyenlives:
well i got my girls, I have two, a netbook which we let them use, in the family room, with us around. we aren't looking over their shoulder.....but there's something about being in the same room with the parents that makes an impression. They are not allowed to take the netbook to their bedroom. They are not allowed to have cable tv on their tv either. They are lucky to have a tv in their bedroom with a dvd player, neither my wife nor I did. Hell we didn't even have a Nintendo.....

we aren't even religious....just trying to be good parents, let them have room as they get older, but i am not going to just give a 7 and 10 yr old complete access to the internet

i was actually thinking about swapping it out for one of the lesser Kindles without browser and such

I was really hoping maybe there existed a "Kidzui" for Android type of rom or app.

Its just a launcher. You should be able to download it and use it as is. Miui will get here eventually just have to be patient. A launcher isn't a rom its just a replacement home app like the blur home.

Is anyone experiencing random pop ups of the phone miniapp ? It happens to my several times a day, both with the tablet on or off. Quite annoying.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] clubtech:
Yes same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aperture:
Im also having this issues now. It just randomly popups after unlocking. This happened after installing an update from samsung apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aperture:
just an update, afer uninstalling those 2 updates from samsung apps. The mini phone app stopped popping up. Tested it for the whole afternoon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
Unconfirmed. Downgraded the Samsung app application, and for a few hours I was OK. Just when I was about to confirm it was working here it pop up again.

Nope it did not work for me. I still have occasional pop up of the phone mini app, even with the upgraded firmware KL3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] diospada11:
i also experienced this when i was on DXKL1. Then I flashed my GTab+ with DXKL2. I also did a factory reset, cache wipe, and wipe dalvik cache. Then it never occurred again. I am now on DXKL3 and I still haven't encountered it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] fasacosta:
same here as well..

i also get sudden popups from the phone mini app. no other mini app does that and some times when it keeps showing up more often i restart and it becomes less frequent. i was bugged about this ever since i bought my p6200 and kept trying to reproduce the situation or take note of the time it occurs and the conditions of my tab at that time. i have gone through 3 software formats since i got the tab (not related, just fooling around :p ) and i became less and less optimistic of spotting a pattern to the problem.

after reading this thread i checked samsung apps and turns out i haven't even opened it since the latest format but i had on several occasions witnessed the phone miniapp popping up.

i've just updated the samsung apps and will report if the problem arises again. i hope it doesn't though, lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] sahildeswal:
Yep, it does happen even on DXLC1. Whenever it happens, i found that going to the settings & ending contacts from running apps helped solve the problem though.

is the "kill the contacts app" a temp. fix or a fix for the general problem :confused:

btw..i had the phone app popup on me today twice, so no go on my scenario as well. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
I am poking around the latest official OTA update (get it here).

I am trying to see if there is anything useful for aftermarket roms. I will post

here my findings, if any, and all the questions that pop to my mind. Hopefully

someone in the community will have answers.

The updating script does the following:

1) several checks on bootloader/recovery/cid/device version

2) copy fotaBoot to /data/system/fotaBoot to trigger some changes at reboot

3) checks on files to be patched

4) delete several files from /data (notably adio_checksum, DxDr,

SuplRootCert_injected)

5) delete lots of files form /system

6) apply patches

7) copy files into /system

8) set permissions

9) flash firmware.zip via

write_firmware_image("PACKAGE:firmware.zip", "zip");

Among the files being modified there are a couple of firmwares (yamato_pfp.fw

yamato_pm4.fw). I do not have them on my system (I run CM7) and I have no idea

which piece of hardware they refer to. There is also an app whose purpose I

ignore (HTC-DPM-GB-2.3-48637-11.1.apk) and a mysterious recovery.img in /system

(more on this later).

Does anyone know the exact procedure by which firmware.zip is flashed? Will any

check be performed on it? Its content is the following:

* android-info.txt: ASCII file with some version numbers.

* boot.img: should be the new kernel+ramdisk; I tried booting it with few

expectations and indeed it wont boot with a non-sense /system

* hboot_8x60_DOT_1.45.0013_20111121_signedbyaa.nb0: the new bootloader; I see no

reason to flash this unless it provides some new features.

* radio.img: fat image with radio files (should be safe to flash)

* rcdata.img: ???

* recovery.img: this won't boot; may it require the above mentioned recovery.img?

Anyway this is completely useless

* rpm.img: ???

* sbl1.img: ???

* sbl2.img: ???

* sbl3.img: ???

* tz.img: ???

Anyone has ideas on what the other files are? I assume that if we avoid flashing

hboot we will always have fastboot available to us and S-OFF to flash anything

we would like to, correct? Revolutionary team can you please explain how you

make the phone S-OFF once your exploit gives you the right privileges? Will any

of those files affect it? Has anyone here any idea of which partitions should

they be flashed to?

As I said I tried to boot both recovery.img and boot.img to get a config.gz and

kernel version with scarce success. I'd like to see whether they made some modifications to the

kernel which improved battery life. I think I will repack the new kernel with

CWM recovery and get the info from there.

Ideas of things to poke at? Comments? Helpful insights?
