Overclocking not possible without either a custom kernel or a kernel module of some sort. As the source for the stock kernel was never released, such a thing would be a HUGE undertaking. Very unlikely to ever happen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirjoe1:
Oh darn, that's such a downer..

These sh7218u threads are so dead nowadays :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirjoe1:
I might have messed up my phone -_- (again)

I went into the /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache and deleted everything and now a few apps have gone missing, and some won't work, they just give me a force close error >___<

I also lost my go launcher ex settings..

and to make things worse.... my internal memory went to 0% free... deleted a few things to clear up 8mb..

Any Ideas how to fix this ? @____@

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tre54321:
Good day to all of you on XDA!

Good day to you, xdajunkman!

First and foremost, let me introduce myself as a first timer on the boards... So if I come by to do anything wrong at all, please don't hesitate to correct and point me to the right direction. I would really appreciate it. :)

Secondly... I would like to extend my thanks to members who are actively contributing to the SH7218U community here, and in HowardForums (xdajunkman/hwfjunkman, MartinDesu, ahhdillon who probably isn't around here, just to name a few). The load of knowledge shared, contributions and passion placed into this phone is just.... Touching. Really hope to join the ranks of you guys one day.

Well, cutting short to the story.. I am getting my SH7218U pretty soon I hope. I am very new to the Android scene, and I had been using a Nokia candybar for the past 2~3 years or so, so I am really far off the smartphone scene.

Quick question on your guide, xdajunkman... Prior to rooting, would you recommend a backup (on the SH7218U), and if yes, could you advise on how do we get about that? I read something about ADB of some sort... Is that some sort of command line interface which we can use on a PC to communicate with the SH7218U, which can in turn assist us to make backups of the SH7218U?

Once again, thank you to you guys. Please let me know if there is anything I should read up beforehand, so to understand my soon to come SH7218U better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martindesu:
Personally, after receiving it new, I would crack on and install the custom recovery, and use that to handle your ROMs.

Best of luck and let us know how you get on!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bimspramirez:
Hi xdajunkman,

First of all, thank you for this thread! It is very helpful and your guide is really easy to follow. Kudos to you!

I managed to root my SH7218u using your guide but I would like to ask some questions...

1. After installing the custom ROM, the ES file explorer is gone, is this expected? I am just wondering how can I browse my files in my microSD card now... I did everything exactly as stated in your guide so I don't know what I did wrong.

2. Some icons are having errors, saying that the application is not installed. One is the third icon in the home screen, I think this is the browser? And the other one is custom dialer. Did I miss something?

Thank You in advance! :)

EDIT: This is now solved.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martindesu:

Is it possible to make the notification LED work for any app? I don't understand why it works only for missed calls and SMS... That is pretty much inconvenient.

And it's also kind of ridiculous to have such great illumination features on this phone, if it only works for the most basic functions of the phone. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmoran27:
My GPS has never worked until now. Here is what I did to fix it.

Leave tablet lying face down for two days. On dock.

Works now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
I would classify this as an anecdotal fluke, no offense. For this information to be useful to the community, we'd need much more information about your gps status, ie. satellites in view vs locked sats. Inside or outside. Either way, telling people that their gps will be fixed by not touching the device is a little silly to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
Not quite. While I support your request for a more systematic approach the described behaviour might occur from the Prime learning the satellites at it's current location over time.

On unknown ground this is useless, though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallagmj:
I would love to use the mods and tweaks I hear about (Adrenaline Mod, Supercharged V6) on my Incredible, but I'm a little lost with the installations. What exactly happens when these are flashed? What do the scripts do? What if I have other things in my init.d folder? I have MIUI and Incredikernel, will these mods even work?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
The V6 and adrenaline mods are scripts not flashable mods. You run them thru a script manager or terminal emulator. These mods change many settings on your phone to improove performance, such as memory limits. It does not mater if you already have init.d scripts, there is no limit to the number you can have. These mods work on almost all custom roms and kernels including MIUI and incredikernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
These are all listed in the specific threads for the mods, but I'll post em here too

It works, worry less about timing or pressing it twice; just jam away on the back button (software back, not the "n" button) until you get the menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
Before you all start to yell at me, hear me out. I always see people posting screen shots of their amazing battery life, but there's just one problem -- it's not really "real world." What I mean is that I always see people with sync off, brightness 10%, gps off, data off, and wifi on. I don't think it matters that much when a phone can last 20+ hours sitting idle with 20 minutes of screen on time. I want to see people using 3G/4G with sync, gps, bt and all the good stuff ON.

That being said, yes I have searched the forums and I couldn't really find any thread like this so here it goes. If you feel like it's a double post or anything, just let me know and I'll delete it! Thanks.

I don't have a screen shot, but the "best" battery life I can get is ~14 hours with 2 hr 30 min screen on time.

What are yours? (Post screenshots!)

ROM: Apex 1.0.2 (4.0.3)

Version: LTE GNex

Screen on time: 2hr30min

Overall time: 14hrs

Battery: Extended 2100mAh

Kernel: Morfic's Trinity 384RD

Frequency/Governor: 350/1200 Conservative

UV settings: Stock

3G/HSPA/LTE: LTE on all day

What's off: BT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
What you consider 'real world' may not be what others consider 'real world', perhaps there are some people who just don't use Bluetooth, leave WiFi on even when they have no network to connect to or have sync set up for things they don't need syncing for.

At least 4 hours screen time with:

Version: GSM GNex

ROM: AOKP Milestone 3 (power saver mode off)

Kernel: Lean Kernel

Battery: 2000 mAh

Frequency: 350/1200 Conservative

UV: Stock

3G/HSPA/LTE: 3G/HSPA and my network doesn't support 2G

What's off: BT, WiFi unless I'm home, Sync for Calender Contacts Browser and Photos.

Daily, I use: Netflix/Poweramp/Spotify/Reddit on my daily commute. Phone/Poweramp/Spotify/Reddit/Browser+ in between commute.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
I know, that's why I put "real world" in quotations. Obviously people will have different uses with their phones, but I just wanted to see what people were getting in terms of battery life with 3G/HSPA/LTE actually on... most of the screen shots I see have wifi on all the time with 20 minutes of screen on time, and that's not really I'm looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph00ny:
hmm

I'm not getting anywhere near those numbers with stock rom enough for me to remove exchange account from the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I got about three hours twenty a few days ago, I don't know how, I am usually lucky to get more than two. I have weather sync every four hours, push Gmail, I usually have ~10% brightness but just lately I have been using auto, which eats battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
LTE version? Bad signal area?

Don't think I got so little even before extended battery/aokp/lean.

Pretty sure I got around 3 hours with just stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Sorry, total lack of info on my part. Full HSDPA, on AOKP with Franco kernel. 15.2 atm. With the stock battery as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
The only thing I could think it would be is maybe we run different background apps or live in different signal strength areas.

EDIT: pretty sure people report battery drain on franco post #13
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I hot plug core 1 when the screen is off, use aggressive SetCPU profiles, don't let anything but weather sync. It doesn't really bother me, I'm never far from a power socket!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
What is the point of having bt, GPS and sync on if I don't need it? I understand the threads that have 20 minutes of screen on time are stupid, but my real world use doesn't include bt or GPS, and sync only when I need it. I'm at 43% with 2 hours of screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiwengang:
Totally agree with your call. We should not need to kill some service with the goal of prolonging battery life.

Real world should be defined as on a typical day,with services not intentionally shut for saving battery ,what is the battery time. For example,Facebook loading uses GPS all the time. For another example,I don't need to turn off bt with purpose of saving juice if I use them 3 times a day.

But if I never use bt for a week, it make sense to shut it.

Will monitor and put here. I am on gummy 0.7 with Francisco kernel 15.1 . With 4.0.3 LTE radio and 4.0.2 CDMA .

a disturbing note: I found the combination of above radios works the best for me,no I did not dial *288 sth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williamthegoat:
50% brightness, location services on, GPS off and I get around 3 hours of browsing. Easily makes it through my work day, which is all I care about
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
GSM. Everything stock and on except email sync off (annoying for me).

2.5-3.5 hrs screen time.

Standby time is excellent. Could get at least 30 hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SL1VR:
Only screenshot I have, but I tend to get at least 20 hours with regular use.

Charging my phone at night, unplugging it before I go to bed around 10, wake up, work, get home around 5pm and plug my phone back in around 10.

Screenshot has some overnight in it, but still looks good, WIFI on always, constantly losing signal because I live in a rural area.

In total standby, I could probably get more than 30.

GSM Canada, I heard the LTE drains really bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
I get 2-3 hours screen on time, that's browsing , taking pictures, YouTube, and apps.

And I get 8-12hours all up before a charge.

This is pretty good but I would say that 2-3 hours of use is light to moderate , heavy use would be 4-6 hours and for that you would need an extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
I agree. If it could get 4-6 it would be perfect.

But as it is now, I have to be careful to moderate my use throughout the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Very similar to my usage. Only had it 2 days though so haven't really fallen into a "groove" with the device yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
GSM with the Korean 2000mah battery, I am down to around 15-20% left after 6-7 hours. Then the screen have been on for around 3 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
I am lucky to get 2 hours of screen on time, but most of that time is playing games. Stock GSM battery, ARHD stock kernel + MID brightness mod; WiFi on at home, BT off (rarely use it), quite crap signal at school.

I'll see what I get today and take a screenshot. I want to buy the extended battery; I won't remove the MID brightness mod, the screen would be way too dark on auto.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
I got about 3 hours of screen-on time with 1750mah battery. But once I use 2000mah I get around 5 hours of screen-on time. For me, the extra 2 hours are really worth the purchase. It can make a difference in certain situations :)

Stock rom 4.0.2 with stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
1750 mAh + 14% = 2000 mAh

3 h + 14% = 3 h 26 min

Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Because math translates to how people use their phones right?

I get 4.5 hours with the 2000mah battery and only 3 with the stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
No, because math dictates how much longer your 14% bigger battery lasts when using it in a comparable pattern.

The battery is just 250 mAh larger. It's nice to have but it doesn't give you 5 h or 4.5 h instead of 3 h, every other factor being the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Obviously it does.. unless my battery stats screen is now a liar since I changed batteries. I'm not arguing that the difference isn't large, but I look at the battery stats myself. I have no reason to lie about battery stats on a phone message board.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
No, it doesn't. You are using it differently and your comparison is non-scientific and invalid. :-(

The reason why I am so adamant about this is: It's only 250 mAh (+14%) additional energy stored in the extended battery.

Screen-on time is when the energy usage is the highest. If you get 3 hours screen time + calls + standby etc. until your battery is depleted after ~10 hours or so, you cannot get 5 (+66%) or 4.5 (+50%) hours from a battery that's storing only 14% more energy.

Compare again with a benchmark running in a loop or some other test that makes the battery capacity the only variable that is being changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
All your theories/mathematics are good, but I did get 5 hrs of screen-on time with 2000mah. I never go past ~3 hrs of screen-on time with 1750mah regardless of usage pattern. I'm guessing you don't have 2000mah to test it yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
No, I don't.

I do have about two dozen other rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries which differ in form factor capacity battery chemistry and brand, which IMHO gives me a pretty good view on what 250 mAh can and can't do.

BTW, I get 5 hours+ screen time out of my GN 1750 mAh battery easily when I play around with it all day at home. This isn't a very "realistic" usage pattern, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Virtuososteve:
Aokp milestone 3 trinity kernal undervolted black exodus theme :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
I've had my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) for just over a month. I charge it every night and typically it will last 24 hours without too much problem but yesterday I only managed to get 12 hours and 57 minutes!! with 58 minutes of screen time. I wish I had taken a screenshot. GPS was off and I was on wifi for about 90% of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fridykker:
anyone else noticed longer battery life with 4.0.2 update??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
He may not, but he doesn't need to. It's only 14% more mah.

I do use the 2k mah battery and I'm certain I've not received the + 50% battery life you're talking about.

Did you conclusively test your previous battery life with the exact usage and compare that to you're currently usage? That means same signal, same call times, same version of rom/kernel. All need to be exactly the same for you to of claimed you did any reliable testing.

Edit: I used to get roughly 3 hrs before my new battery. But now I get at least 4 hours, however I'm also using the next milestone of aokp and a new kernel, so It'd be stupid of me to claim all that battery life is due to my new battery. What I do know is if I have 14% more mah than if I didn't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsupersonic:
I just got my Verizon GN on Wednesday, and I purchased the official extended battery with it, since I had a discount on the upgrade. Yesterday, I unplugged at 7AM, and got it on the charger at 12AM, had 30% life left.

My usage was 4.5 hours of screen-on time, few texts, push email (Gmail + Outlook), 1x5 min. phone call, was on 4G the entire time (WiFi radio was on - but not connected to any network). Overall, I'm impressed with the battery life, and will probably get slightly more, as I acclimate to the fact that it's a new device lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Got 4:20 screen time with morfics 512mhz OC GPU Kernel with the stock gsm battery. Very impressed with his kernel given thats the gpu is overclocked and I have the cpu overclocked to 1350ghz. The cpu is undervolted though.

All syncing is enabled, wifi on the whole time.

Just what my experience was going from 1750 to 2000. Could barely notice it.

The screen on time isn't brilliant but it represents how much I use my nexus. Can just squeak 1.25 days out. Running aokp with Franco kernel. Everything else is stock.

how i do get that life i have the 2000 mah and i can get barery 5 hours on screen time u have stock rom or custon ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Use Wi-Fi data only, low screen brightness and have good coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Stock 4.0.2. Screen was on auto brightness and I was inside.. so its possible it was on the lowest setting.

Maybe I did something wrong getting the stats? It did seem slightly high.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
This too. I use wifi everywhere I possibly can. Saves much battery.
