OP updated. Next up is phantom's blazer :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Updated OP with new rom addition! Kobridge's tweaked stock rom added.

Testing some JB roms now. WIll be needing extra day or 2 for those to let rom really settle before testing battery and other issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
I can never get the pictures to show on my phone.. Do i need to be on a pc to see them?

My name is Duce and I'm a flash-a-holic....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
What rom are you on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
i could be on any rom.. i hit desktop view and still cant see the results from the tests. Im on my laptop now and dont see them. i must be looking in the wrong spot or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
oh you mean pictures in this thread. Yeah pc is best. Pics are in the first post. Don't know about tapatalk but I can view them on free xda app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Hmmmm... I gotta check it out. Thank you

My name is Duce and I'm a flash-a-holic....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Downloaded the xda app and still can't get the pictures to show up... don't know whats up with my phone....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kr@zY_J:
On mine I had the same issue at first ...I cleared data Nd everything ...tried a few diff pics wouldn't work ....finally it started working ...idk wuts up wit it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kr@zY_J:
But pics in first post not showing for me either ? ND when I just posted right above here it sat on a date 12_31_1969 for ever and wouldn't let me edit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
To be honest, I have had tone of issues too in getting the pics to show in various threads.

I am gonna try linking pics from my drop box directly for aokp jb test. Let me know if you guys can see them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
BR I only point it out because your doing us a big big favor by testing these roms so I know I would like to see the hard work youve done and wat these roms potential really are... thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I appreciated that. :)

Ok so AOKP JB testing done. Let me know guys if you can see the pics on phone.

Also for some reason can't get all 4 pics in 1 row. Driving me crazy.. Re-sized them and still nothing..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
No problem... I'm on paranoid android newest build and these are the shots I'm seeing

... first one from xda app , second from browser in desktop view

My name is Duce and I'm a flash-a-holic!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I can see all screen shots except for the aokp jb ones. Just moved to paranoid. I suggest just a PC?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jniede:
i really didnt know there were so many to choose from this is awesome. I have tried a few and landed on phantom blazer. I love the themes in his latest build and look forward to future builds. Highly recommend people check it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Updated OP with new rom addition- Codename-Android-((CN)A)-3.6.0-Jelly-4.1.1 and paranoidandroid screenies.

I am thinking about giving members and readers of this thread a chance to suggest what ROM should I try next? (just bored so maybe someone can point which I should try?)

I'm currently on KO's fi03 stock ROM and am getting really good battery and very good data speeds on stock kernel I don't know if you tried that one awready
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I might have to buy the darn tapatalk app. The free xda app won't allow to upload pics anymore hosted by tapatalk..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
So as far as seeing the pictures ive been doing some testing and its actually rom related i think... I switched from jelly bean to touch wiz and the touchwiz roms so far sho the pictures... Ill continue testing and see if im right bout this...

My name is Duce and im a flash-a-holic

Edit: pictures also show on codename android which us jelly bean so its not jb/tw/GB related but actual ROM related...

i was impressed, til i saw u were in deep sleep mode what 76% of the time lol use that bad boy a lil and watch that 2 day bs drop to about 5 hours...on a good day lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
I know ya spend a lot of time over at Double S. I am a loyal runner as well. If ya ever get the time to run Blazer, throw a screenie up, will ya?

You spend a lot of time here at XDA, and have helped strongsteve tons.I've seen ya over on Calk's helping out as well. People in here could definitely benefit from your input
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Haha...you're gonna get me jumped in here :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Will do. Its only fair I give it a shot. A few people have said latest release is really nice. ICS themed with the gtg toggles...sounds like its worth a look. Also I try to help on all of the threads so its only right I flash it before I start answering questions...if I was in a situation where I knew my phone had to be 100% functional with zero errors for days and months, strongsteve's would have to be my choice. Never a FC, reboot, or freeze...EVER
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MustWarnothers:
Sorry for forgetting pertinent info like kernel and modem, I'm spacing tonight.

Bounced around between modems but EL26 seems to have settled nice. I've ignored some of the newer rogue kernels because the touch recovery seems unnecessary(love their work, don't get me wrong)

Still on blazer 3.7, I'll probably make the jump when I can get a bunch of new features all at once. Still have to buy that guy some beers, I love this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
thank you sir!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Am I the only one that hates am/pm? =P

Best rom? Mine! Haha.. I kid. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
EL26 was a bit better on battery for me as well. I am still trying to get someone who really knows how to read code to tell me if anything major changed between EL26 and EL29 because if not, I may roll back my modem. Honesty, the best battery I have seen to date was on my strongsteve EL13 setup but too many good changes to his ROM to roll back that far. I like my ROM/kernel/modem matching ...but that's just me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I haven't sifted through everything, but what I did notice is majority of changes in that new emergency SMS system. That seemed to vary between the frameworks here and there. I haven't dived into much beyond that, but from what I have looked through the changes seemed to be minimal.

With that being said I haven't looked at the kernel at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Which Calk build is that. Care to share removing am/pm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Its not calks rom, I like going lone wolf with my own builds.. but i guess youre limiting the choices to 3 so id go with calks minus the themage. He encorporates a lot which i find useful aa well so out of those 3 that would have to be my pick. Unnamed should be added to that list as well. Its another great option for noobies looking for roms :-)

and its just a dirty layout hack until I can find the call in services jar which I haven't yet been able to do. Ill can post it up when I get back to my computer. Just a ghetto edit to status bar.xml for now. Haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
I've used Calkulin's for a long time, and switched to Blazer a few days ago. Blazer definitely has better battery life, especially after the kernel settles.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
FC

Just to let the OP know, I tried to retain data by using the steps he described in the OP by going to advanced nandroid restore and all I got was a ton of FC's. I tried this on Venum's ROM. Is this not supported on some ROMs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Let's see it when ya get a chance. I may add unnamed. I just don't want it to be too overwhelming. Trying to convince people to flash just three is proving quite difficult...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Ya know, I failed to mention wipe cache/dalvik before flashing data. My apologies. I'll fix that right away
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Hey guys, do me a favor and post screen shots. Screenshots speak louder than words here :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Update:

Just about the halfway marker on Calkulin's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
I have tried all 3, not going to re-invent the wheel just for the sake of screenies but Calk worked the best for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
I'm with you on strongsteves. His is my daily also. I'm gonna give these all a fair shake though :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Calks all day ;)

2 hrs screen time with 65% left and wifi on so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It really depends on going say from strongsteve's to Calkulin's Venum to NoName. You will always be good using that method when updating the same dev's ROM (unless firmware changes) but it may not work if a version has custom themed apps and such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:

these were some of my observations of JB AOKP ala slick_rick version 1.2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Ok so have held off on testing new roms for few days. Advance data restore is not always working. So planning on buying titanium backup. I have super galaxy rom to add to post 1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
OP updated.

-Thread title and purpose changed a bit.

-New rom added.

-New pictures.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uhhhevan:
I don't post alot. But i did want to add a comment about the joyride JB rom. So far with my second day of usage i will say that i agree that the battery on JB ROM are wonky. So far i have charged my phone twice today with the battery also gaining percentage without being charged. Contemplating restore back to my previous calk ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshuadub:
Recalk 2.1 is the best for me right now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koserman:
Awesome

Awesome job :D I really appreciate your work. I've swapped back to GB recently because of battery issues, however, with your current work, I might make another attempt at ICS or JB. Thanks again :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yes its because kernel source from samsung is not there yet.

Np man.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Blues, what do you use to make your wifi turn off when your screen goes off? Just curious because yours seems to sleep well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I dont use wifi much but yes when I use it, I just use the advanced settings to turn off during sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
How many seconds do you set it to idle after screen off? I set it to 10 seconds but it may be too high. What do you think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Hmm what rom are you on? I just prefer as soon as it goes to sleep, kill wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
With to stay on 'never' it still obeys wifi_idle_ms

I'm not even sure what default setting is but I usually set it to like 6 or so

For whoever

http://db.tt/SQdxsNUb

If you untar that file, move it to xbin and execute it... your WiFi will sleep according to your sleep policy.

A heads up though, that script also sets gtalk idle ms,

Long press timeout, dchp max retries, MMS max message size 99999999, disables drop boxes spyware... etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
So pretty much nothing can wake wifi when phone is sleeping?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
My phone significantly gains battery when the screen is off... with no charger in sight. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Im on Blazer now. Im a battery guy over performance. Phaker that sounds like an awesome script.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah I opened it and saw what it does :p

Going to post 2 in a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It only needs execute permissions or also needs read/write like other files in xbin?

Edit- Set to rwx-rx-rx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
As long as it has user x of should run (depending on parent directory)

And it only needs to be run once a week or so because something is bound to change the settings at some point..

But yea, to answer directly...

Since it doesn't ever run solo it only needs you.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suckoos:
Hey bluezrules thanks so much for taking the time to do this i think its incredibly valuable. I think one of the missing links for new users is the CPU speed and settings. I've had such variance using different governors and settings on ics. Could you share the cpu settings you have been using to get the results you have had on recalked and on blazer?

Sorry if this has been said i searched but could not find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I run them stock. Dont change them at all. I believe I ran jb on pegasuq thats it. Nothing else changed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Sorry Blues, I dont understand the reply Phaker had to this and how to set permissions. I tried replying to his but it said invalid id. Do you know how you would properly run that script?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Check post 2 on page 1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carole6m:
Before I rooted my phone I was getting around 50 hours on light use; stock battery, FH13. I installed CM9 Beta 1 a couple of days ago but I've been trying other ROMs so I haven't given it a full cycle yet. Just used the calibration app and trying to let it settle for a couple of days and see how it goes. Right now it's not that bad but it does drain faster than when it was on stock FH13. Hopefully it'll improve in a few days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
For the script in post 2 how should the permissions be set. I have it on rwxrwx rx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Important part is x which is execute and looks like you have all 3 checked so should be good. User x is the only one really needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
This does not happen with my battery. Are you being serious? What rom do you get a gain in battery? It would be great to know how you accomplish this, Phaker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I really wish I knew how...

I can for certain tell you that it doesn't directly matter which ROM and kernel because I've had it on every ROM (aosp and tw) since it started happening.

I can also tell (don't know if its related) that this started happening when I started using slash modding the pegasusq kernel.

(Speculation)

I think that the forced use of the (meant to be) backup processor is putting current into capacitaters that aren't normally charged that would've been put into the main cpu, so when the screen shuts off its trickling back into range of the sensors.

Did that even make sense??

Long story short... try pegasusq governor with a screenstate scaling script and see if that gives you some magic battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
How many days did you let the ROM settle? Are 4G speeds that bad and did you use it during these test. I heard Flash can be side loaded? Does it work? Did you use it at all during this test? Last but not least - What Modem are you using?

Those are awesome stats!

I wish there was a way to create a Wiki with average battery time for each ROM without it being too much work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Wiki? Can you think about what else would be there on the page other than info about battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
(All from memory)

Settled maybe 24 hours and I did/do have some of phakers scripts.

Currently running most current modem. I always try to run the most current.

4g sucks now. Doesn't matter if I go back to GB ICS or now JB. In the past 4g would net 6+ Mbps now I'm lucky if I get 2 :banghead: . I use 4g any time I'm not around WiFi and I'm surfing the web or using any app that uses data like YouTube.

Flash can be side loaded and works. You download apk. Go to download file click the app hit install and bam flash is installed. To use in stock browser go to settings and make sure to check the box to enable plugins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttittoo:
Ya it made sense:good:. Are the screenstate scaling scripts your placebo 2.0 and all other tweaks found in your thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
I actually wrote a lot on this and edited it out because I realized it would be too much work.

I was thinking one could do a Wiki for All Rom's and updates- with the following information:

Date testing completed/compiled - ROM - Kernal/Modem - # of submits - average battery life.

If you had more than a handfull of people from around the nation synchronizing to certain ROM setups as testers, it would help as they would all use the same setups, Apps, same battery setups and tweeks. The Wiki would be long because it would have every version of GB, ICS, JB ROM's and would have to be retested with every update. Like I said... this would be a lot of work. But it would be nice to have some kind of known Average battery life for each new ROM. Multiple users with different usage and averaging out the lifespan is what I am saying I would like. It would give everyone a good Idea of what to expect for battery life. One person might use their phone for 6 straight hours while another might not have 4G and another just didn't use the phone much. There would have to be a set settle time- 2 or 3 days before testing could begin. The Wiki page should have the known setups and settle times Noted, so everyone knows what the testers setup was to get that certain average time. Basically the base setup and Apps.

So

Last calculated 10/7/12 - ROM: Re-Calked Fi25 Kernal/Fi25 Modem = 50 testers submited test - average is at 6.75 Hours.

I am totally throwing this number out my ass to make a point.

You could even add in the highest and lowest hours measured. You could even throw in a comments section on what the gerneral thoughts were of the ROM. Or maybe Pro's and Con's from testers. Link to ROM download page. DEV...ect ect

When I say they all have the same Apps, maybe they keep communications with each other saying added this app today, please update. And everyone syncs the app but they must agree to try not to add too many Apps or stick with the basics as much as possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It does sound good. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
It does sound good but (no offense at all intended) it also sounds like a waste of time.

Let me explain before you think I'm being rude

The proposition is good in theory

But in reality its just a matter of the included apps/tweaks/settings.

Based off of my own testing, every ROM can be configured to achieve a high battery life

basically I'm saying that it would probably be more constructive to create the suggested packages AS what to apply TO achieve a certain battery life.

Just a thought

Edit: I guess this may not be clear to some, but in this post I was mostly referencing TW based roms and the reason this is true is because they are indeed the same ROMs. So what may matter is the base.. FF18, FH13 etc.

( and PS, I never realized I was referenced in the OP :D Thanks ;) )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
The screenstate script is included in the newest of the zips but I don't think it's posted individually in the placebo thread.

It IS however posted in the init' special thread in the development section. From that thread you can copy/paste the script to a file using root explorer (or equiv) and put it in your /etc/init.d directory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yes and I know how many people use wiki. Sad truth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
All I cared about was making sure you understood that I wasnt saying the thread or testing was useless. I think its great for reference sake to be able to see all this stuff in one place.

( even from my point view 'cause I can use it to see who's got what in init.d ;))

Wow I shouldve paid attention to the op...

Question, when you tested S5 v0.8 did you use my tweak package??

I'm assuming no since you said outta the box.

When V0.8 was posted I was keeping it as Venom as possible and then I was named beneficiary unexpectedly and I don't think my tweaks ever made OP.

( Be sure to test it again when version 1.0 drops, I think you'll sleep ok then :D )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah it was outta box. Was very surprising. Yeah I liked that rom overall due to the s3 look and smoothness. Looking forward to 1.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoppinJ:
Wow, this is a sleeper thread. There was a lot more information than I thought there would be in here. Im just getting into flashing after the FF13 OTA disaster and think Im addicted now. I love any reviews I can find on different ROMS so this is awesome. Im especially interested in battery life since that was the main issue with the OTA update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Back to testing. Finally bought titanium backup. No more advanced data restore.. Along with the 0.25$ nova launcher prime, everything is backed up!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Aawwe your killing me, smalls..

I have TB pro as well but for giggles if I had known you were nanding data apps I would've taught you how to ghetto rig your very own TB (ok not really tb, but more efficient for the app restore part.) that runs after all flashes and factory wipes :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Aww.. Darn.. But I would still like to know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javascriptvoid:
cool

this will be helpful thank you. what are good setting to save battery life. i have tried out a few roms since i got my phone. the only rom for me that got good battery life was stock unrooted when i first got my phone. im using blu kuban now just wanting the most out of my battery. i guess the best way to fix the issue is to get an extra battery:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
What is your setup and results?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javascriptvoid:
just got this phone the 1st coming from lg optimus. so i really dont know a good setup. i have the battery saving on at 50%. keep my brightness low. try to use wifi when possible only use 2 screens. just started testing out kuban today but with other roms i got anywhere from 4hrs to 10 hrs. cm10 & blazer. stock unrooted got about 20hrs but was only that for a day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Choose a rom and stick with it for few days. Most roms have some sort of tweaks included such as calkulin's battery saver script, kobridge tweaks, phaker's placebo scripts. Head over to "PROJECT:PLACEBO" - For E4GT Optimization and choose a script to run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kr@zY_J:
Hey blues thanks for all u do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] javascriptvoid:
probably will be sticking with kuban for awhile. well after a day on the lagfree govenor and not script installed this is my results. maybe after a week it will get better
