[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
Also, make sure you're either in the GSM section, or CDMA. But if you would like an opinion, the AOKP ROM by Roman is just absolutely incredible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
GSM version. Thanks for comment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlsroufe:
I'm trying to find out which is fastest for GSM version. I have been using Franco's kernel which makes them all faster than stock and with good battery life. I think of the ones I have tried aokp and gummy are the fastest. I haven't tried eagle's blood in a while. It was pretty fast when I had it a couple weeks ago. Features and battery life are nice but speed is the most important for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djdavis:
@lonnyrs, in your opinion what makes the AOKP rom so incredible compared to the other roms? The developer says there's "many many more features" in the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Some people don't have the time and effort (or even bandwidth since some users may be bandwidth capped. Each ROM is ~190MB, that is a lot of bandwidth being used for someone who may be on Comcast who only has a cap of whatever it is.

It's like saying, "what is the best phone?"... are you going to tell them to buy every phone and see which one they would like? No. Go through the list of features, screenshots, user reviews and determine which would fit you.

If you want 4.0.2 use Android Revolution (not sure why people would want 4.0.2, but LTE users may stay on 4.0.2 for battery purposes) but since OP has GSM. I'd recommend AOKP. Franco.Kernel is a necessity for any ROM on 4.0.3, it is simply amazing and has constant updates that is always improving and listening to user feedback.

AOKP is a ROM separating itself from others because the OP adds to the ROM so many customization tweaks that are easy and the user can set it the way they want their ROM to work. AOKP allows you to:

- ROM Control

.. and so many more (check the screenshots... make a nandroid backup and try the ROM for yourself)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
I will try AOKP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
AOKP

Hey, I would recommend AOKP Build 15 with the Apex kernel. Each to their own but I have tried everyone of the roms on here and I keep going back to AOKP! Good luck.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cjlallana:
Hi friends,

I would like to know your thoughts about what Official or Custom ROM has the best battery life, as this is, at least for me, one of the most important points when you want to update your phone.

This is a simple thread, just post:

- Complete name of the Custom or Official ROM, and its baseband ROM. (and link to it so we can thank the developer)

- Time you expend using different apps, wifi, 3G, etc... (for example 3 hours of Whatsapp, 2 hours on games, 1h voice calls...)

- Aprox. time your battery lasts.

- Optional: you can add a screenshot of your 'Battery Use' screen.

Let's see which one is the best! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cjlallana:
As for me:

- Custom Rom: TheMyth ICS beta 2, baseband 2.3.6 KPP

- About 5 hours using Whatsapp, Wifi activated all time, 5 hours 3G, 1 hour surfing the internet, no gaming, a few short calls.

- It lasts around 11-13 hours.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MZWK:
Official 2.3.6, Baseband s5830xwkt3, so called Nordic Version.

About 17-19 hours in total.

6 hours display on, browsing web with Opera Mini and using Nimbuzz messenger. GPRS/EDGE. Yesterday even 7 hours display on, which is very good in my opinion. Display runs on lowest brightness.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] christophicer:
ICS final. Lagfree v1 and the new scrolling battery fix and I've used 4% battery in 3 hours of constant use. Screens on lowest setting as well. Pretty amazed with the difference actually.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
How the hell do you manage that? I'm running the same rom with the same script. Is the scrolling and the battery fix in the script or you edited the build.prop? What have you been doing with the constant use? Do you use 3G or edge or what?

Lol I'm really amazed.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dylan_ace:
um, I reckon the battery you get when you buy your phone is real ****, so I'm gonna buy a brand new battery and hopefully it lasts longer :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
i use ICS final. Lagfree v1 how to get the new scrolling battery fix paste thread link here please.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nilzkul:
Heya all I am using KPP baseband, and using ICS Speed Blur.

I generally get 20 hours of backup.

with 2 hours of music, 2 hours of 2g internet, 200 sms per day obviously, and 2 hour of whatsapp with lowest screen setting

and using Lag free V1 + turbo boost latest version
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pradeepadiga:
I think here is referring to this - Precise Volume Control, Smooth Scrolling and Battery Drain Fix
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertlink:
My battery drained 14% in an hour running whatsapp, ymail, email, ymessenger, and make a 15 minutes of call. Using CM7.2 RC0 Kang ROM, lagfree v1 script, turboboost 8.5, Precise Volume Control, Smooth Scrolling and Battery Drain Fix, and touchscreen fix
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosswaa:
i reformatted my sd on the phone (miui rom) and then again in clockwork recovery and now the phones says theres no sd card in when i connect the phone to pc nothing happens only usb debugging comes up

if i take the sd card out and put it in a reader on my pc and try to reformat it it says its write protected

the only way to get round this is using the adapter to lock/unlock write protection

that does nothing

is there anyway to force a format and bypass the write protection?

im using win7 32bit

thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3000:
Surprise that no one has asked this question before and opened a thread regarding about it.

Since the day i reverted to android the first cpu app that i used was Setcpu. For me it did everything. Gave me good performance and then good battery..Was a very happy bunny.

But then everyone talked about Voltage Control and how you can choose schedulers and plus you can do so much more than with Setcpu..So i thought i give it a try.. And funnily enough i never looked back...Problem is though i found a bug on Voltage Control and cpu clock speeds seem to keep reverting back to stock..You try to overclock and underclock and nothing..

Anyway so i thought i try No-Frills..The downside to this is that you can not play with the voltages...But i still gave it a try..For me it seem to perform alot better than the other previous apps and i certainly noticed the difference when overclocking..

Still can not judge which is better though...Or if there is anything different..For me Voltage Control has the upper hand with the all the tweaks that you can do..But regarding performance it seems No-Frills you can notice the difference..

What do you guys think and what is your overall view about the 3 above? Do you know any other app that is better than the 3 above as i have stated? I would like to know as i am learning and i am quite fascinated on how such a small app can handle the power of our phone...So i welcome any input and hopefully we can shed more light and gain more info regarding the beautiful apps that handle the power of our phone.

Thanks to all the devs who created those beauties

[Epic 4G General] scooterman:
I'm making a new thread for this because it applies to cm7 and miui and will get buried in their threads.

Basically im assuming MIC volume is maxed out. Your own voice can feedback into the speaker when on a call. You sound distorted to the person on the other end, especially when you're not in a quiet location. Basically making the phone part of the phone un usable. I have had this happen on all cm7 miui builds.

Also speaker volume can not be changed when the screen is off
[Epic 4G General] czechpunk:
Known issue acknowledged by Uber that is somehow involved with the mic feedback resolution. They are working on it, but I have no idea when it'll be fixed. Flashing Bushido or Shadow kernel seems to help.
[Epic 4G General] tannerrobinson:
Having the same problem! Thought it was the replacement phone I just got but on stock 2.3, the mic sounds great.

Distortion and low mic threshold. Picks up way too much background noise.

hi i need help. i recently flashed 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154...sbf using rsd lite to my photon. however after flashing, i lost 3g, GSM, umts connections. i cant get any signal with my photon even when manually selecting networks. were using a SIM card here and the phone doesn't seem to recognize the network anymore aside from sprint. it kept on trying to activate the device but to no avail. i really need your help guys. thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Try doing a factory data reset, I had an issue with 4g not working after doing a nandroid backup with the bootstrap. Doing the reset fixed it.. Here are some simple directions how to do it.

1) Power off phone. Then power up holding Power and volume down button

2) Screen will come up with "Fastboot" press Volume down and cycle through till you get "Android Recovery" Press Volume up to select it

3) Wait for the Triangle / Android

4) Press both Volume up and volume down ... A menu will pop up..

5) Press volume down and select "Wipe Partition" by pressing power button to select it.

6) Tap volume down to select "wipe data/Factory reset" again tap power key toselct.

Once done tap power key when done using the "reboot system now"
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
It is currently current. :D I believe Loki will keep it updated for a little while anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
Great... now i dont want to reflash
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Your reflashing should be fine. I have flashed several times since and other than that odd anomaly with the connectivity I havent had any issues since.

Sounds like all you want is the most recent SBF, flashing it via rsd is straight forward.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
Now does reflashing fully reset the phone? Remove root? Will i need to reactivate the phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Flashing will remove root, you will have to re-root afterwards. Use the method you are familar with, torpedo, one click root.

Activating will be done over the air, OTA.

You should as a precaution get your MSL., MIN, MDN = phone number.

MIN can be found Settings---> About phone ----> Status..

Getting your MSL you can either call Sprint or you can extract it via methods in this thread..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365058

So if it does fail to register OTA you can type ##MSL# and then input the MIN and MDN manually.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dr.resty:
still not working

i just did a factory reset just as you've instructed but it's still not working. i live in asia and our telecom company here uses 3G. when i tried to review the phone's Sprint settings it says that the 4G and 3G is not activated. could this be the problem because the lost its activation after flashing to stock sbf? im trying to activate it via OTA but it always fails(probably because we don't have Sprint here). how can i activate 4G/3G back again overseas? thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
First off sorry I was of no help.

I am in the US let me see if I can find a few people who I can get you in touch with. You can PM them and chances are they can better answer your question or get you in touch with someone who can answer your question...

try getting in touch with the following through PM.

thundercles I think he is helping with the GSM lock and may have a better answer for your questions.

I know you will need some more information about the carrier you are trying to get the phone to work with. I would suggest checking for the APN information for the carrier you are trying to work with. Check the howard forums and or do searches for APN and the carrier.

Check out this thread since it deals with people using the photon in foreign countries. Chances are good you can PM any of them directly and get answers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244836

Either way if you do get a resolution to your problem please post how you fixed it in this thread so that the next guy/gal can see some of what you did to fix the issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
So to reactivate i have to call ##(THE MSL)# and how do I input the MIN and MDN?

Also is an SBF have all of the Stock Applications? or do i need a all in one Zip File???

i want my phone the exact way i got it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
I also need the stock update.zip..... thx
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Too many asking differing questions.

Bradley, the sbf will have the stock applications no need to get anything else unless you are going for something specific like deodexing.

Inputing the information is simple once you get your six didgit MSL, either from calling sprint, or using the method from the thread I linked to you. Calling sprint sometimes you will get someone who will not get you the MSL. Sometimes recalling them will get you someone who will give you the information.

I gaurantee that the method from the forum does work, it just takes a little patience but eventually you will get your MSL. I suppose either way will work but getting it from using the radio com program will be more rewarding since you can learn something about the phone.

I would suggest even if you do get the MSL from sprint that you for ****s and giggles use the other method. Always good to know how to get the number incase you misplace it.

Okay inputting your information is easy once you have your 6 didgit MSL. You will input it into the dialer as if you were going to make a phone call.

example msl = 123456

##123456# into the phone dialer.

Soon as you do a field will show up where you can input your information incase the phone fails to OTA register. Chances are good you will not need to do this. Good luck

Now as for the DR. I am unable to help him further since he needs to supply more information about getting his phone to work. I pointed him in the right direction and who to ask.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Brad, there are other things the msl is used for. If you were to input ##data# into the dialpad it will bring up a set of fields that you would need the MSL number to alter the contents.

There are reasons for doing this editing the multimedia field proxy information can speed up and smooth video streaming. Enough about this get your phone working first and then mess with this stuff later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
Ok so all i need is the sbf? I dont need the update.zip?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleymaustin:
Ok how do if ny ohone has build 6 will flashing build7 cause issues and what is the difference?

Sorry im new to android
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Corect no need for update.zip

198-7 is an unoficial release, it was leaked. It is however the build that almost all current roms stem from. If you plan on playing around with pseudo-roms such as jokerskinny 4G then you will want to be using 198-7.

198-6 is latest OTA push.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
Same in bootloader?

If yes... not good.

Don't think it's due to the ROM you flashed (even if hardy overclocked).

Put back original ROM and ask for warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiLLa_UK:
Hi the phone is exactly the same in the boot loader so it must be the screen. Maybe it was just something waiting to happen but it seems a little strange cause it literally happened 2 min after flashing. The phone booted up and and looked fine then a min later I unlocked it and the screen went as I did it. I don't think the phone is under warranty any more But htcphonerepairs.co.uk quoted me 60 to replace internal LCD so think I will go with that. Thanks for the reply much appreciated.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
It sounds like a screen problem. before paying, flash back your previous ROM.

I don't think it will change something but it cost nothing to try.

You're not the first one to have a HW fault just after flash, but I can't understand why it could be related. I think all ROM you can find here use the low level pieces of software from HTC. So the HW is manage as in the original ROM.

(and if it had happen before you flash the ROM you will not have posted it ;))

Tuning a ROM is easy and with a visible effect. Tuning the low level (kind of drivers) is hard and the effect is hardly visible for normal user.

(hope dev will not read this... I mean 'easier', not really easy)

The only modif I can see is OC. but they OC the proc, not the video component.

But I don't know everything, I can be wrong of course.

If its one package, tick the ''one package option in Odin and just select your file in one package slot.

I wanted to apply a custom rom so I followed the official cm7 rom -- procedure found in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257574. The procedure was clearly written down and any beginner such as myself can easily follow the steps.

My problem now is that I can only connect to the internet through GPRS only. I have the option to connect GSM/WCDMA, WCDMA only, GSM and GSM/WCDA/WCDMA. Whenever I select WCDMA which I understand is 3G, it does not show any 3G logo but it does show a couple of signal bars. I even installed or flashed both radios thinking it might solve the issue, but it did not. Now, I just did a clean install without installing/flashing any radios, but I can still connect to the internet through GPRS.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to have a special radio since I'm on Singtel Hi!card prepaid?

Kindly advise.
