There is no definitive way of proving if a custom ROM and/or kernel helps battery life unless someone is willing to test every combination on 1 phone and use the phone exactly the same way in the exact same location every single time.

Unfortunately there are way too many factors which may give one user better battery life over another even with the same rom and same apps.

1. signal strength

2. applications which run in the back ground

3. unique differences in manufacturing the nexus which cannot be helped

4. general usage (games, youtube, push email)

I remember someone on the i9100 thread did the above with their phone and went into quite some detail (phone left on with white screen 24/7, black screen 24/7, rolling demo's 24/7 etc0 and this was a good INDICATOR of battery life across different ROM's and kernels.

And for me I am running a stock phone never rooted or anything and get around 2 days battery life with moderate use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Guys just try CM9.... best battery life out there even better than GS2... and stick with the cyanogen kernel. :)

Hey now...what hatred? There isn't any hatred, I am just giving you a hard time for throwing in a iPhone screenshot on a Galaxy Nexus thread. I mean even bringing that device into the conversation is comparing Apples to Oranges. And there isn't any way i am buying that Apple. I don't care how good the battery life is, I don't want to sell my soul to iTunes.

Back on topic, nobody would argue that the Nexus has top of the line specs (expect maybe the camera). And something that ALL of us tech enthusiasts are going to have to live with is lower battery life the greater the technology grows. That IS til someone develops a battery that outlives the newest technology. The battery technology is NOT growing with cell phones fast enough. What are we gonna do next year when they start releasing quad-core phones??

And just for the record, I don't carry 4 batteries with me at all times. I use the 2 standards at work and the 2 extended's at home. What can I say, they were having a hell of a deal on batteries the day i bought my phone, plus my company discount gets me 25% off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
You should compare this GN with iPhone 4s, both are dual core. That will be a little bit balance.

I read that 4s has ****ty battery :p

Also you can mimic the iOS multitasking on ICS by turning on some options in the developer settings, for example limit the number of background task to ... 1 ? :)

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Exactly, that's my point. People cannot simply say "root and install this kernel and that rom to improve battery" ... There are more on that.

The battery life is relative to the user, how they setup and use their device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Mine is much better now.

It was going at 20% per hour when I just got the phone a week ago. Then I disabled the offending app (anti-theft feature of Avast) and calibrated it, I can go through the day with moderate use now. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
How's my GN's battery life?

Much better than my Nexus S was. The "in use, screen on" battery life is almost the same, but "in use, screen off" (playing music) is noticeably better, and the idle battery life is loads better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
For me, i found the "perfect solution" for battery life

Underclock @920mhz+tweaked cfq/interactive based on stock kernel, 3h40m screen on, 12% left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
I don't know why people think this. iOS multitasking was pretty much the same as Gingerbread's, except instead of holding the home button, you double click it. The way apps handled their "non-focussed" state was dependant on the app. Some continued to run like music players and such, while games might pause or bank apps require you to re-enter your pin.

I don't know how they differ on the technical level, but having used both for quite a while now, iOS and Android handle multitasking almost identically.

I feel like I keep having to defend iPhones around here. The amount of anti-Apple fanboyhate is ridiculous on this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
then don't. just ignore them.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
Now I have never actually created an exploit for rooting a device, but I had an idea about one, as I have a general gist about it. I don't know if this is what RazorClaw did, but surely something can be done with Asus App Backup? Seeing as it has read and write access to apps, is there the potential to add a backup that will install root in some way?

Just an idea... really want to root my sbkv2 b70!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
Just wondering.... why not use the existing root options that are available for SBKv2 devices?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
First of all, RazorClaw is the only option for SBKv2, and it was fixed in the latest update.

To the OP:

RazorClaw was used to invoke root user access, then remount /system as rw, and add Superuser, plus the matching su binary.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
First of all, you can downgrade your firmware, and still use RazorClaw

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417006

Second of all, the OP has not stated that he is running the latest update, just that he has an SBKv2 model
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
Sorry for the confusion! I am on the latest firmware!

Thanks for the tips on how razorclaw worked, really helpful. What are the chances of something similar happening in the near future. Also, thank you for that link I will give it a try now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
I would say it is pretty likely that Asus will continue to close root exploits as they are discovered. Especially so for ones that can be done via an installed app, as malicious apps can (and have in the past) make use of this with ill intent
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
That's fine, as I am sure I wouldn't update as quickly next time. I only did because it was on 3.1 and I had just got it and noticed huge lag on keyboard and device. Wanted to make sure it was updated, but didn't realise it was an Apple style mouse game of closing exploits!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
Ok guys that method linked worked perfectly! Now I just need to know how to install CWM. I get a android with a caution exclamation mark. Any help appreciated!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
1, You don't have to be rude

2, I haven't noticed that thread until I sent my message, and I saw after that it was there.

3, It's simply logic. If the user knows RazorClaw, and won't use it, it means the user have tried it already and it didn't work, so he wanted to find another hole.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
1) Nothing rude was intended. Sorry if you read into something that wasn't there

2) Hardly my fault :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
go to the market and find 'recovery installer'.

it will install CWM for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ciela:
1) Nothing rude was intended. Sorry if you read into something that wasn't there

2) Hardly my fault :)

3) Funny that RazorClaw is still what he used to do it then..

Like you said yourself, no need to be rude

(blah duplicated post while editing)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
Now now guys... I used RazorClaw in the end as I didn't know before I could downgrade. And thank you, installed recovery and installing Revolver!

I've been searching for some fonts for my Galaxy S2 and I found quite a few and they look awesome, but I've set my eye for one specific font and I just can't find an apk for it. It's the font that appears in the Android logo:

I've also found a thread with this font (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3771562&highlight=android+logo+font#post3771562),but all files are in zip format and when I unzip them there are only ttf files. I don't have a rooted phone and absolutely no experience in developing, so I have no idea how to install ttf font files to my SGS2. Also I'm not sure if that font in the above link includes slavic letters like Čč, Šš and Žž. I also tried the method in this thread:

Hello everyone,

I'm seeing that quite a lot of devices are getting CM9 alpha but as long as I know, our phone didn't get this goodie... anyone of you can tell e if CM9 is actually in progress or they are waiting NVidia for let them use the sources of Tegra2?

[LG Optimus 2x] Ardanven:

Arcee has already got it working on the O2x, he just needs to fix the cameras on the devices he's been working on. He doesn't want to release anything before he has fixed everything, and CM9 is ready for a release. So we should see a release/nightlies during January or February
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Firstly, please can you post these sort of questions to General or Q&A instead of here. Thanks.

Secondly, CM9 for O2X is in progress but the devs won't release it until all the major functions are working. So might have to wait for nVidia to release sources so that everything, mainly camera, is working. As far as I know cm9 isnt available for any devices apart from GN and NS.

EDIT: Kiljacken got there before me :)
[LG Optimus 2x] tiwiz:
Many thanks for your replies, and sorry to post in this section, believed it was more dev related since I was asking infos about CM9 early alphas :)

By the way, you all got the point, I just wanted to know if there was anything done for the O2x, just because I didn't notice anything anywhere and I was worried our phone could be left aside because of the developing difficulties.

Many thanks,

wish you all a good new year :)

thanks for the info. As far as I know the WW-version is not US only, but should match the version you have (you can check that in the settings/about tablet).

Hi there, it such been a long time now I am following all the treads of this part of forum and I decided to S-OFF my Desire 3 days ago.

And It seems I cannot charge my battery since this day...

When the phone is closed or when the phone is on it's the same : impossible to charge the battery.

Here follow the things I did, hoping someone will help me...

I have changed the battery and I still have the same problem. I do not have external charger for the moment.

I have rooted my HTC DESIRE long time ago without S-OFF and used Cyanogen mod 7 (stable one), not the 7.1, that one just before.

I have S-OFF 3 days ago (since impossible to recharge) and did not install any HBOOT from ALPHAREV.

I have flash via ROM MANAGER the new CWM 5 to build partition EXT4 (1G) to use Runnymade Seb ROM.

Now I take out the battery (40% inside) and waiting for help to get my better charged on if possible....

Should I : Flash a new HBOOT ? Seems I an on the STOCK one since I never Flash any after S-OF.

SHould I changed to a new recovery ? Since I go to CWM 5 and downgrade it to CWM 2 to see if the problem come from here, but seems It's not that cause I still cannot charge my batt...

ANy idea ?
