I dont underclock. I use the default settings that come with the app. I dont have time to play with overclocking and underclocking to find the sweet spot. Default works good enough for me.

i use that rom/kernel combo and if I just use my phone as a time piece I drain about that 1-2% an hour..... under light use I drain about 8% an hour.... under heavy use I drain like 13%. That is using my definitions of light and heavy use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
As stated above and additional the way you use your phone. What you have installed..what kernel you are using. Stock/hacked kernel(which helps battery life)..believe it or not you can get 16 to 18 hrs on stock kernel. I've tried it. Tip.. Uninstall / Freeze what you don't need. Decrease brightness. Clear ram/cache.. Calibrate your battery. Turn it off let it charge till 100% remove the battery from the phone wait like a minute. Put the battery back turn phone on. Plug charger wait till 100%. You should be good.

Ooh also check if its leaking or bulky which signify bad battery.

Good tip about Black wallpaper. It does help with battery. I take a closeup picture of a black object ( I use my black leather couch) and save it as a wallpaper.

Screen at lowest brightness and barely using it . I have had 38 hours of battery time but in reality if I use it so that the screen is on much then you get about 6-8 hours. Some people say yhey use heavily but they describe playing music which doesnt require the screen being on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
Also if you are in the area where it switches edge to 3g then the constant change will drain your battery. Stay in a strong 3g area no blue tooth no wifi it will bring your battery usage up. I hit 19 hours on full wifi no bluetooth and maybe 30 minutes of talking , 50 sms or so. The main issue is can you go between outlets, if you can then the phone is doing its job. I have a phone charger at work at at home and during the time its not plugged in (road trips) i can get 12+ hours and thats enough time to go between chargers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
like people has been saying, a lot of the screenshots posted don't show how long their display time on is (when you tap display in the battery usage). I think this averages around 3 1/2 to 4 hours display time on (varies on settings). 4 hours display on is extremely good.

Question: i don't know why but my battery usage graph likes to reset itself and only show my usage AFTER it drops from 100%. For example, right now under the graph it says 2hrs 50mins... but on top it says 3hrs 43mins. and yes im pretty sure i've had the phone unplugged after a full charge at 3hrs 43 mins ago... Does this happen to anyone else?

I believe the graph only gets updated whenever your battery percentage drops. In your example above, the phone had been staying at the current percentage for almost an hour, which is a good thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] dunndfrnt:
I understand hboot 1.5 phones that were unlocked using htc unlock method you cant change the kernel, i read the methods for flashing a kernel if you want to do a aeosp rom, My question is I unlocked my hboot 1.5 phone, i have superuser access fine, if i want to flash a sense 3.0 based rom, do i need to reflash the kernel, or do i just put it on my sd card and use the bootloader to flash?
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
FYI...use FlashGui by Joey Kim in the Themes/Apps section. Very easy way to flash kernels on 1.5.
[HTC EVO 3D] dunndfrnt:
Do i need to flash a new kernel if am staying with a sense rom? or can i just flash the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
This question is essentially a trick question because the answer depends on the ROM.

Some ROMs include a custom kernel and some do not. Some ROMs will boot/work with the existing kernel on the device and some will not.

Without any reference to a specific ROM there is no way to accurately guarantee a correct answer to the question.

Easiest way to check the ROM will be to either look at the updater-script for the write image of boot.img or check the ROM files for boot/kernel/boot.img file name reference. If any of these are present, more than likely will be loading a kernel and will require an extra few steps, due to HTC's unlock method.

Of course, I definitely agree with this. Thats why I spent so much personal time coding the program and continuing ot answer questions/help users!

Hope that helps!
[Motorola Droid X2] mountainmanxl:
Some nice ROMs and themes came around after the bootloader was unlocked last summer, but I can't help but feel as though the dev community is done with it. There's still no Cyanogen and I just know it's not getting any ICS goodness.

Why is that? The Droid X2 is still one of the best Android phones out there, plenty of people have it. Opinions?
[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
The bootloader has never been unlocked.

The X2 is a great phone....if you've never played around with another android device before.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
we still have devs around, like dragonz, ace, masta, and that team, theyre trying to port over CM7 and we have 2nd-init, so theres still dev love, but with the BL not being unlocked as of yet there isnt too much we can do at this moment
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
As stated, the bootloader is not unlocked. Root was acquired, but that is different from unlocking the bootloader.

But I feel what else hurts it is the 512mb main memory. Even though it's a dual-core phone, the limited main memory has hurt it, IMHO.

But, the locked bootloader is what has really held this phone back. As stated by ztotherad, you can only release so many deodexed ROMs before it just doesn't matter anymore. I think we are getting to that point.

Since the kernel and bootloader are locked, you can't do much more customization.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
We are on the brink of aosp roms running on our phones. That has taken a lot of time to work on, and by some wonderful devs. It may have taken a while bit this phone is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Really there are now only a small handful of things this phone cannot do, like overclock, but we are now seeing a huge door open for us and its all because of "dev love", a few never gave up on this phone even though so many others have.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
and honestly, im so grateful for these devs, if it wasnt because of them wed be in the same boat as my devour (with no dev support). so im thankful we have amazing devs!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If you have an unlocked bootloader u.need to share that right now
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
exactly, share yo' keys, bro! :d
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
There are devs cranking out code for the X2 as I write this. Have you even read any of the threads in the development forum?
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
That depends. ;)

My previous phone was an LG Vortex - ARM6 processor, 600mhz processor, Android 2.2. :eek:

So, the X2 is a major upgrade compared to that sorry excuse for an android phone. But hey, it was free! :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
Why no dev love for the x2?!

That's an understatement to the awesome devs that we do have. There 2nd-init development is no joke.Im suprised they stuck with the dx2 and didnt move to another device seeing as how difficult it is to work with. I have faith in the devs here with the dx2 in a matter of time they'll get it running sum sweetness.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I concur. Look at Nitro. He's moved on with a different Moto device yet he still updates the Eclipse ROM for us. Heck, he's juggling Eclipse for three phones.

There's dev love for the X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
How in the world can you say that there is no development for this phone? Yes, it's been slow, and yes, not a lot are on it. But the ones who are (definitely myself included) are hard at work trying to get this thing going.

Read the development forums. I have at least two [REF] posts in there that explain a lot of the work I've been doing. In fact the one about CM7 needs another update. I update my twitter before I update that though. It's @dragonzkiller. Even if you don't have an account just look me up and you can see that I've been making a lot of progress with CM7. That, sir, is dev love.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Sic em boy!!! ARF ARF GGRRRRR....LOL j/k

Thanks for all the insane amount of time you put into this....(and everyone else to!)
[Motorola Droid X2] mountainmanxl:
Thanks for me filling me in; didn't realize that having root and unlocking the boot loader were different. I wasn't hating on the devs when I said there was no love; there is plenty of it, it's just that X2 ROMs never seem to play nice, and low RAM doesn't help an often slow and buggy UI.

Actually, it doesn't need to be this exact widget. It could be also any widget / program that shows right on the same screen the Month view AND appointments.

Like we used to have on Windows Mobile (Thumbcal).

Examples:

Try businesses calendar from the market.. In the settings it can show you bars or text and possibly a parallel widget in agenda view

Right now on HTC Sense, I have go into Calendar app from widget, then select the exact date, then I'll view my appointment. Too slow.

Are they true dual cores and run at the same time? My evo 3D is dual core but the second core only kicks in when needed so I don't consider it true dual core. Do our cores run simultaneously or like the evo 3D?

Sent from da BEST (Galaxy Note)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxbat121:
Why do you think the way EVO 3D works is inferior? AFAIK, they all work in similar fashion to reduce battery consumption.

Without ICS, all Java based Android apps can only use one single core anyway. Only native apps (like 3D games) can take advantage of dual-core. That's the limitation of Dalvik JVM for Android 2.xx. You will need Android 3.xx or higher to get dual-core support on JVM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Power saving allows the 2nd core to go into sleep mode, even at fully idle in 200Mhz mode it consumes power and yes its a true dualcore. If you wan you can have both cores running at 1400Mhz 24/7
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] noteworthy:
In power saving mode,I get a quadrant score of only 2600 compared to 3800-4500 with power saving off.

I definitely agree that the Note shuts down one core in power saving mode.

On my wifes s2,power saving mode scores around 3200.Power saving off gets around 3400.Not much difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bclark:
It's called dynamic hotpluging and yes that is how the Exynos works. Why would you want both running all the time?

If you want the ability to have both constantly on, search for tegrak's dual core app in the market. You can force both on with that. You may need kernel support though.

I ave profi-mail on my windows phone right now, but it wont load up gmail because it needs an app specific password. Well i haven o idea where to put the app specific password into the program. I may be missing something totally here.

all this is coming about form an error i get on opera mobile that it wont allow me to pull up gmail anymore it gives an invalid address error. G mail still works in the regular IE mobile but its a pain in the butt.

Thanks for any help

its not an issue, its an international change. I've been telling people not to bother with green cwm and 3e since the first voodoo kernels came available. heimdall flash a voodoo gingerbread kernel to the phone and keep it there or keep a backup of both the stock kernel and a voodoo kernel with sgs kernel flasher and swap back and forth. remember you may need to incorperate some fixes for the Rogers based kernels because some wifi stuff and video playback stuff has changed.

"-Secondly, When using Root Explorer to mount the root folder as R/W, I was able

to replace the "Recovery" file with the modified variation. However, whenever I

restart the phone, go into recovery via the 3 button hold, It still gives me the

unsigned error. I exit the Recovery and let it boot up normally, only to find that

the "Recovery" file has been replaced with the original.

After you paste or copied in the new recovery file, did you also change the permissions of the new file?

the other option would be to download sgs kernel flasher from market and flash gtg's CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip (for GB) found on his installation page to get red recovery.

I'm with him on this. There is no need with messing with the 3e recovery or green cwm. Do what he says with using sgs kernel flasher. I have had this phone for a few months and have never messed with the 3e recovery. I keep entropys kernel and KL2 stock kernel in the sgs kernel flasher files on my sd card and flash back and forth. It's a hell of a lot easier this way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
make sure its a gingerbread kernel and pre-disable lagfix if you intend to use the stock everything working including HDMI kernel. its a pain letting the conversion run back and forth.

to do this, open root explorer and navigate to /sdcard and see if there is a "Voodoo" folder. if not then create one making sure only the letter v is capital. then, in the voodoo folder, create a "disable-lagfix" folder all lowercase. this prevents the file system conversion from running. the quote are to represent the exact spelling and case, don't create the folders with quotes in the name. the path should be

/sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix

make sure it matches exactly...

Hello guys,

I've been looking around hier for a while, and I spotted a Custom ROM that I'd like to try, it's this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424260

I've never rooted my phone before so I don't have experience with it.

I found a couple of threads that can help me but, I don't know in wich order I have to follow them.

First of all, I'd like to make a complete back-up of my current ROM, so in case something goes wrong, I can restore it. How do I do this? I read something about ClockWorkMod and a nandroid back-up, can somebody clear this out? :)

I have an unrooted HTC Incredible S with S-ON. So first, I think that I have to get S-OFF? I found a tutorial with the Revolutionary tool, but it doesn't support my HBoot, so I think that's not an option?

So then, I found this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337105

The tutorial is easy to follow, but can I create a full back-up before I start the tutorial?

And to get S-OFF, do I need a rooted device?

I hope somebody can help me. If you need more information, just ask. :)

Here is some information about my device:

- Android 2.3.5

- HTC Sense 3.0

- S-ON

- Not rooted

- HBoot 2.00.0000

- No SIM-lock

If more information is needed, please ask. :)
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Unfortunately having your current h-boot the method available to you to root and install custom ROMs does not let you back up your phone prior to flashing. As the method used is flashing a new ROM that allows root access to your phone. Prior H-boots (1.13.0000) allowed you to root your phone without flashing a custom ROM thus unlocking boot loader to be flashed CWM as a custom recovery and allowing you to create a nandroid backup of your current state before flashing a new rom. However[/] the process you are going to need to complete might contain a back-up function included in the flashing process, I don't know for sure as I flashed from 1.13.0000, but it doesn't really matter as your going to have to complete the process anyways. I say just go for it and follow the instructions to the "T". If you follow everything properly and take your time you shouldn't encounter any problems.
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
In the tutorial I posted, step 10 is

Will this create a complete back-up? So when I restore it, will everything be back the way it is right now?
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Exactly. Stay safe.
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
So if I just follow that tutorial, I will have a Custom ROM with root? And do I still have to get S-OFF?
[HTC Incredible S] fallenwout:
You don't need to go S-OFF to flash a custom rom. There is actually no need whatsoever to go S-OFF, unless you want to go and flashing other radios. But the lastest sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update included the lastest radio, so keep S-ON. Better for warranty.

First go to htcdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock bootloader. BE AWARE THAT THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE TO FACTORY DEFAULTS for security reasons, sdcard remains untouched.

After bootloader unlocked you can flash the clockwork recovery (you're still S-ON). Once you flashed that you can go into recovery with volumebutton down and power on. Take a backup with clockwork (=nandroid = full image of the phone in its current state) of your original rom and start flashing custom ones.

They're is probably a time where you gonna think you bricked your phone, I have. But I always got through it by searching the forum. Always, in any circomstance, manually push the boot.img of the associated rom from a PC to your phone. So never flash a ROM from your sdcard if you don't have a PC in hand. Otherwise it will probably not boot or get hardware not working (not broken in anyway, just not properly loaded).

Before changing roms, I always do the ARHD wipe script. Just to be sure every trace of the previous rom is gone. There are multiple partitions on your phone (system, data, boot). It wipes all of them to start clean.

The ROMs you are going to flash are rooted by default.

So now, of you go and be a ICS beta tester :)
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Thanks fot the explenation. :)

But, because I can't root my phone because it's HBoot 2.00.0000; I can't make a back-up of it? Not even with Titanium Back-up.

Is there any way I can back-up my app's? So I don't lose all the saved data in the app's?
[HTC Incredible S] fallenwout:
As far as I know the answer is "no".

You need clockwork for a nandroidbackup, you need bootloader unlocked for clockwork, unlocking bootloader wipes your phone.

I accidently wipe mine with the unlocking of the bootloader. It seems harder than it is to start over. Just link contacts and calendar with gmail, backup sms on sdcard in messaging. That's all you need. Starting over is good to get the crappy apps gone :)
