[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Quick update: been using semaphore 0.8.1 for a while now and definitely the best battery life I've had. I'm not a heavy user by any means. Generally I do most of my stuff on my tablet so the phone is mostly for calls & sms's. On stock rom I could usually last 2 - 3 days with my usage and since starting to use custom roms I don't think I've ever made 2 days. So all I can say is battery is great for my use on the semaphore kernel.

Down to 25% battery after 3 days & 8 hours. My set up has had auto brightness on, 3g off (been on for maybe 15minutes), I've probably sent about 15 sms's & made about the same amount of calls (maybe 3 minutes a call). I've fiddled a fair amount with the installation & updating various apps & probably spent about 2 hours between facebook, Google+ & the xda app (with wi-fi on).

Semaphore 0.8.1 is for me the best right now.

No its not nessesery but its better
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemkk:
Devil kernel is smoother and faster from the others but in battery he's not better (for me:))
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedaone:
I switched to semaphore 0.8.1 2 days ago, everything stable since now and good battery life for me using smartass v2 and no OC, nearly no lags.

Had normal usage, some gaming email sms phone about 1 hour power amp and xda usage for sure ;-)

Been online through wifi and 3g.

Phone was at sleep about 7 hours during night. Got 30% left, seems pretty good for me till now!

i use Onecosmic ICS with Devil kernel,, and it work like a charm..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack197:
The kernels I've used with good performance and stability in my ICS teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Galaxy S (BUILD 16):

1 º. Devil 1.1. Led VC + cfs. Stable performance and good battery

2 °. Glitch 14.b3. Stable and excellent performance, but draws significantly battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arolopez:
icssgs works fine!

i have tested rc3.11, rc4.1 and rc4.2 and im really happy with all this releases, i think its the most near to the OFFICIAL ICS.

For me Semaphore!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiKsFiles:
Running Team ICSSGS RC3 and tried 4 differents kernels so far...

1) Icy glitch version ??? :

- lagging like hell

- phone not responsive

- won't flash again!

2) Platypus :

- a bit laggy

- relatively stable

- never got auto brightness to work.

- Didn't really like it.

3) Devil 15.0 BLN :

- Stable

- fast (no lags)

- couldn't make auto brightness work

- had the greenish voodoo color side effect even with resetting values in voodoo app

- lots of governors/schedulers to choose from using NS Tools

- good battery life

- Best Antutu benchmark results : 3076

- liked it a lot, but greenish effect got me away from it. Still, a good kernel it might reconsider with time.

4) Semaphore 0.8.1 :

- Been only running it for roughly 24h, but not lags and really stable as of yet

- auto brightness working as it should with semaphore auto brightness module enabled

- no need for NS Tools as pretty much everything is controlled from within Semaphore app

- Not as many governor/scheduler as Devil, but I have no need for them anyway

- battery life seems at least equal to Devil's

- option in recovery to clear init.d folder and reset NS Tools settings in case of boot loops

- Best Antutu benchmark results : 3207

- overall, best kernel I tried so far!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asribar:
I'm using Semaphore 0.8.0 with SlimICS and it's great with both performance and battery life.

Using SIO scheduler and SmartassV2 governor... 3G on, WiFi on, lasts through the day... Enough for me ;)

Is there any other phone unable to root 2.3?
[LG Optimus Black] jimakos29:
yeap. And guess who the manufacturer is..... LG. It is the optimus 3d
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Apart from LG, is Sony, HTC also got this problem ?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
After an update every OS is unrootable, or at least should be for a certain time, since no provider/producer wants his product to be rooted.

It's hard for them to prove, that it's been rooted, but you can destroy the device with it, by e.g. Overclocking the CPU. They have to repair it on warranty,--> the patch root methods in order to keep users from rooting, but it never lasts long ;)

So some providers lock it harder and some only spend 2 secs on patching ;)
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
It's not a problem. It's a feature. Nobody should release rootable phones. That means there are serious vulnerabilities in their software, exploitable by malware.

What they should do is to have an option to have adb shells running as root. Most users won't know what it is anyway and won't be able to mess up their phones, but for those who know, installing Superuser.apk would be trivial. Everyone wins. :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDV10:
Hi Guys

I am using a UK/Europe T-mobile s2 and rooted to install a ICS rom which didnt work too great so through this forum flashed to a stock 2.3.6 rom. I am still getting the yellow warning triangle on boot and have tried flashing other kernals found on these forums. Cant get anything to work i have heard if you flash to a stock kernal it solves the issue but cant find any with working download links please help!?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CobyBE:
You can either use this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193091 or buy a USB Jig on Ebay, it should only cost a few $ or €.

Do note, that after 2.3.4 Samsung disabled the reset of the counter through the Jig, so circumvent this you'll need to install an older bootloader.

Also, a method that might be easier: (credit to Anarchy66)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDV10:
Thanks you very much for the reply.

I am very new to all this but have managed to root. Anyone know a good ICS rom for S2? i tried one but was very slow and crashed a lot. Also with the kernal thing is there any real advantage to going back to secure? i will try the advise given but just curious?

Many thanks

as far as i know the "insecure" kernels are only used to obtain root, and shouldnt be used as a daily driver

God, certain people have such a fine eye and intelligence. I am sure this review by Devin Coldewe would open the eyes of over 10 million Galaxy Note Users and Samsung will now appoint him for developing all their devices as he seems to have such a superb grip of understanding technology and consumer behaviour. Phew!!

By the way Devin's rant could also be due to the fact that he did not get the Free Shirt that were being distributed at the Galaxy Note booth at the CES.

Can anyone help me out? I need the system/app/phone.apk from a deodexed rom of the latest 29 update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Do you know how to extract apk's. I use total commander and any unrar program... my favorite is winrar... Or on your phone you can download any unrar app, then download a rom and navigate to the system/app folder and you can extract the apk that way.

I am not saying I wont help because I would have to download a rom and upload for you but I am trying to show you that the task you are asking can easily be accomplished by you without help from anyone else

Or is it that you need an exact copy of the phone apk only from an official el29 update?

Edit: downloading one for you now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stkiswr:
Wow. I see people asking crazy things, I can do it myself...that's correct. I can extract. But I am away from my fantastic wifi and where I work its not the best signal. I just need someone on a deodex el29 to copy from there system/app/phone.apk and upload to 4shared or anywhere . That would be a big help. If not I will do it tonight. Just asking for help. I'm not being rude, I only need what I'm asking :-) I can handle the rest.

[General Questions and Answers] jtonthebike:
Hi all,

First off, thank you for the absolute quality of the Ice Cold Sandwich ROM, it's working brilliantly for me!

I have tried to search but not found an answer. Now that my DHD has been rooted to run the upgrade, this was done originally with Visionary+ and then the additional bootloader (CM) so i could then backup my handset, install a new Kernel and get it to the current stage. In the bootloader I see:

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD9810000)

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

Oct 11 2010, 12:44:14

I have terminal on my handset and if i type in su, it returns the hash as expected. I did a: find /-name superuser.* to see whether the superuser.apk was present, alas it isn't.

For a variety of reasons I need to un-root it but keep ICS on. Can this be done? If not, then that's fine but I really would prefer to keep ICS.

thanks in advance,

Jonathan
[General Questions and Answers] jtonthebike:
As I understand it, I need to flash a new HBOOT, but, before I do this (not wanting to undo/brick the handset) can I use, with what tool i am not sure (have looked at so many the last few days) the hboot....hb0 file included in the 'downgrade' 1.32 PD98IMG.zip?

cheers,

[Q] Font Colour issue in Menue [RCMix ICE v3.2.5]

hey guys, i´m using the Custom rom RCMix ICE v3.2.5 on my sensation.

everything is great,but now i noticed a bug or an issue.

The Font colour of Whatsapp in the settings menu is black,so you cant see that there are any options available.Only when you mark them, the font colour change to white and it is readable.

The same problem is also in other apps like ES file Explorer, Astro file explorer etc.

all front layers of the colour is black,the background style of the buttons is also black.so you can´t see any button.

My question is, is there an option to change font colours in this ROM, or in general ???

Changing the themes, or the backgrounds didn´t change anything on the problem

Would be nice if you can help out.

[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] twe69:
Purchased the SiKai MicroFiber case for the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Tablet. Delivery was within the UK and didn't take too long, about 5 days including the weekend.

I paid £15.19 delivered from Ebay UK Item number: 200647561882

The case is made from a strange type of plastic material, it's quite soft and flexible. Am kind of glad rather than faux leather. It is very thin and light, but seems sturdy enough to protect the tablet around the house. I have a 10" netbook bag that I keep it in when travelling to add extra protection.

I like it since it makes it easy to carry around with you and doesn't add bulk to it. I would say the case is lighter than my official HP Touchpad case and similar in strength, although a different material. I can only compare it to the ROOCASE Multi-Angle Leather Case and can say it is much thinner and lighter than that.

There is only one angle that the case allows for, but since it is an Android tablet you can flip the whole thing round and get a lower angle. Its fine for watching at night when streaming video so its not an issue for me.

Price wise the only options available to me at the time were the faux leather ones for about £9.99 or the official case from the Lenovo website coming in at a hefty £34.99 once you add the crazy £10 delivery charge! Not many options in the UK unfortunately but am glad I did some research and found this case.

Other things that you might notice in the photos (sorry poor camera phone ones) there is a place to put a pen, all cut outs seem correct and I love the fact that I can charge it without having the case open, also the hdmi port is free.

Not sure how long it will last but considering the few days usage of it, the minor things like the tablet can slide a tiny bit inside the case so would have preferred a tighter fit (although will try and adjust the velcro again that closes once you slip the tablet inside), the cut out by the front facing button could be a bit lower, and the magnetic clasps to be quite weak I will give this case an 8/10 and can recommend it.

[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] sublimee:
great case! I bought this sikai case too and actually prefer it more than the original lenovo K1 case.

This covers all ports, and also has a great microfiber texture that is slightly grippy, while remaining smooth to the touch. does not attract dust at all and keeps the K1 snug (if it feels loose, readjust the velcro tighter).

recommended!
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] twe69:
Yeh have tightened it a bit more, doesn't move as much.... Glad I chose this over the cheaper cases and the official one which was more than double the cost here in the UK.

Can't believe how dead this forum is for this tablet, going to see if there are anymore forums with more support....
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] viggs74:
Just got this tab last week and love it so far. Looking for a good case but hate the leather, faux leather look.

Please let me know if you find more forums as I have looked and am surprised how little I've found....

I know of one other decent one, google "lenovo community K1"
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] twe69:
Cool will do.

This case is pretty good if you want something thin and light, there are stronger/more protective cases out there but they add bulk and I don't want that since I use this round the house...... Still glad I bought this case and find it better in that respect to the Roocase.....

Thanks, will google what you said.....
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] Janis:
Got the SiKai for my TPT. Everyting else looks bulky in comparison. It is extremely thin (I''ve tried a lot of gadget cases over the years), and although it's screamingly vinyl, it doesn't look really cheap since it fits so well. Leather like this might come off as over-the-top (not that I wouldn't probably sucker into that if I could find it). It's got the seam around the edge where it cushions a drop, and the magnetic closure on the flap is a great touch, not too powerful, but it stays closed well enough.

My gripes are with the screen cover flap: it leaves two stripes on my matte screen protector where the fold places rub off the grease I thought I cleaned off last night, it doesn't hold the tablet vertical enough to really use, and it's busy looking on the front. If I had a choice in the design, I would leave off the "stand" capabilities and leave it flat. If it's open, it's really floppy; it would be easier to manage if it were entirely rigid. I might add a hide-able tether & a knob/button so you could stand it up on its other edge more vertically instead.

All in all, for the price I paid (US$26-ish), I'm very happy with it. If Piel Frama comes up with something, though, I might check that out, if only to drool. I still love my old Wizard case, and my Advantage case from them, too. Very lovely, solid product, and they've been keeping customers happy for a long time.

Addendum: After a couple of months with it, mine is holding together just fine. I had to trim a bit of vinyl fringe, butvall vinyl does that ( it frays a bit after it's freshly cut, but after you trim it once, unless it's cut really crooked, you're done). I have noticed that after a bit of stretching from the daily+ in & out I do to use the dock, it's loose enough to partially obscure the rear camera, not to mention trying to take pics with the flap cover is a huge PITA. If I used this camera a lot, I'd be totally fed up with this case. I may also be melting a bigger hole for the speaker (whch is hard-core disappointing to begin with). All in all, though, that's it for my complaints, which is pretty rare for me.I plan on cloud storage sync and a great cam on my next phone to use the tab for pviewing,
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] twe69:
To be fair the official HP Touchpad case does the same thing to my Touchpad so it's one of those things.
[Thinkpad Tablet Accessories] Tchitcherine:
I use the same case for my Thinkpad Tablet, and it's the best I've encountered so far, albeit with some flaws of it's own: Some of the stitching on the inside of the cover is already beginning to fall apart after ~1 Month of usage :-/
