That's probably the way to go, but I've had no luck thus far. I'm on stock Rom with Netformer 1.6 kernel. I tried doing this with OTA Rootkeeper. Unrooted, installed update, got same error. Then rebooted and re-rooted with the OTA Rootkeeper app. Does this mean I need to revert back to original kernel? Everything has been pretty good on Netformer, and it's definitely more snappy than stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Which stock ROM are you on? You might be getting the OTAs if you aren't running the latest (8.6.5.21?). The custom kernel probably installed a kernel module that is preventing the update from flashing.

Can you grab the OTA? I'm curious what they are sending you. It will be in /cache/dlpkgfile- you can copy that someplace and upload it. I think these should do it, but PM if you need help with terminal commands.

In terminal, type:

cp /cache/dlpkgfile /Removable/MicroSD/

OR with adb:

adb pull /cache/dlpkgfile
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kwaze:
Here's the zip. Maybe you can tell me what this update really is. I guess my current stock Rom version is 8.6.5.19. Sounds like the kernel is preventing me from updating. The real question is, do I want to install any of these updates from Asus? Any disadvantage that you know of?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
That file is the US 8.6.5.21 OTA. I lost track of the all the root methods, but I thought that Nachoroot was working with .21. I've never used OTA rootkeeper, so I can't comment on if that will work.

It's kinda odd how you are getting it now? There is a rooted version of the stock rom you can flash via CWM so that you don't have to unroot. It will have the stock kernel and you will keep whatever bootloader you have now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409584

EDIT: doaist has posted CWM friendly versions of the OTAs as well- there are much smaller files since they patch the existing rom. Look in the development forum- The OTA came out around Christmas, so it will be after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kwaze:
Thanks for the info. I'll flash the updated rom and see how it goes.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
You're running an image that has different hash values than Asus original image has... that is why Asus validation does not work. Hence, you should revert back to the original image Asus provides.

This answer have been given ALOT of times in other threads already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klabit87:
I rooted mine with nachoroot on the 21 update. It works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkarvan:
I read somewhere on the forums, if you applied an update from asus one time, then you can't get the same again. just flash manual from download site.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AyieStyx:
thanks for that infos , but did the Xperiatized have the tweaked ROMs ? fast ROM i mean . ROM like GingerCruzt , and etc . cuz i want my ace to look like Xperia and Built for Gaming >_<
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Spex:
well for gaming then infinity rom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AyieStyx:
if i use infinity ROM , can i change the themes etc to Xperiatize ? LOL

LOL , @spacecaker is promoting his mods , but i will try that later :)

@mv_style can you give me the direct link to the Infinity ROM ? got too many results and dunno which1 is the actuall source :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
:p

lots of people are promoting but

xperiatized is just an xperia S themed rom

and is based on stock

gingercruzt is an normal xperia themed rom and based on cm7
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AyieStyx:
why you dont associate with Infinity for the Gaming ROMs ? ahaha , Xperia Themes + fast/lightweight ROM = awsomeness :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nikhil'Da Devil:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
gingercruzt if you want CM based and xperiatized for stock based, both are good.

Since the ace is not tegra or Nividia powered Chainfire is I think the only hope if it didnt work then nothing.

OC is not good for your phone :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AyieStyx:
i have tried the Chainfire but it didnt work as expected ! OMG i really wanna play GoF2 Valkyrie !!!! :(

Hi all. I've got a SGS (I9000).

I need same advice: what Is the best ROM for me?

I usually use my smartphone to:

Try aopk rom 2.02 beta ICS

sent from my ice creamed super sgs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldberger:
Well i've been testing out lots and lots of roms and seems that ICS is the ones that saves battery the most and they run much smoother too. And stock browser runs much smoother on ics too... So i think ics is the way.. I'm just not sure what of them draws less battery life tough.

I'm using ICSSGS RC4.2 and with heavy use the battery seems to last pretty ok and that rom is almost perfect with almost everything working. Actually i think its the best ics rom today, tomorrow could be another rom :D But yeah it all depends what you use and like for your phone and for me its that one atm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvt-1:
I've tried many many roms and all ICS-rom don't have good battery life.

My favorites:

- Amestris-roms

- SauRom

- JW1 with Tornado-kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ap0ll0und5:
I agree, depending on what your looking for would determine the best rom for you. the best bet is just trying them and seeing which you like the best, truthfully a lot of the rom are hard to notice performance differences and many perform alike. If you are looking for the best battery life i would personally be looking back at some 2.2 and 2.3.x based roms. they have had the most time invested in them so far, and have not been completely ported.

a good webpage to check out roms is done by @AlChemistar at android candy and then find the device.

personally i have only experimented with 2.3.x based roms and ICS

for gingerbread i would recommend:

DarkysRom (10.2 Extreme)

Fl GS2

MIUI

For ICS:

TeamHacksung

OneCosmic

drZMIUIV4 beta 8.1

for a full list got to android candy. this is just what i prefer, and for making calls, texting and web browsing ICS is nicer but the interface for texting does lack. you may want tot check out theme available to take the white background back to the Samsung black for AMOLED screens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_wolf_in:
yeah, i suggest the 2.3.x roms for battery life. they are way more matured than ICS per now.

i just installed ICSSGS RC4.2, and battery life is not good, ( i need to test different kernel).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadkeren:
Personally i have tried different ics rom's the one who worked best for me was: AOPK rom 2.02 beta ICS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anyonearound:
I would also recommend the AOKP v. 2.02 ICS

It works really good and smooth for me. Baterry life is good and pesonalization possibilities are huge! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] einquantromtrost44:
You should try goatrip

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
From your post it sounds like we have similar phone useage. So far i've found team icssgs with semaphore 0.8.1 to have great lag free experience with good battery life. Fairly light useage as I use my tablet for most internet & games (wifi, 3g on only if i need it with several calls, sms's, some xda, facebook& g+) and i made just under 4 days down 10% battery or there about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierral13:
I think I also have the same usage (phone, text, and web), and I'm a bit disappointed with ICSSGS RC4.2 with semaphore kernel. But I have data always connected (and synchro on), and when I use my phone intensively for about one hour, I loose about 30% of battery life. I'm still looking for a rom with data always enabled, that I can use intensively for 2 hours per day, without charging it during the day.. If you know a rom like that (like galaxy nexus do, but for SGS), please let me know !! :)

Wow the temperature on your phone is insane... Try to set your CPU lower?
[HTC Sensation] 7_michel:
Your battery got drained within one hour!!!! This means that you have had an average current of 1.5A. I do not undertsand how you may have reached such a high current level.

Your screen was on but it could use maximum 0.4A , and the screen is the component of your smartphone which needs the highest average current.

Some thing is going wrong on your phone.

When did you root it?
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
My CPU was set to 1.35 but now I have changed it back to 1.18 GHz

And my brightness is set to 50 percent but while I was playing real racing 2 I hit the temperature

And I think someone told Mr before if you battery heat it dressings more

[HTC Sensation] 7_michel:
The battery widget reading is O.K. You confirm the level I have estimated.

-699mA with WiFi on and 50% brightness : this is far too much.

Something is going wrong with your phone. May be some problem when rooted?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Superwipe and reflash ROM, no additional apps. You can try this with nandroid backups and restores so when at work you have the right apps, then try away from work with a lighter setup.
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
I have only tried arhd rom and right Now I'm running 3.6.13 and I don't know what drains my battery so much but I know is sense 3.0 is involved the only reason I'm not changing my Rom is because I'm waiting for ics and when ics gets officially out I will upgrade to it and I will definitely make my ics rom no- sense
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I was on CM7 and swapped to an ICS ROM. All I can say is that the ICS / firmware combo changed the battery drain big time in a better way.

Looking at the graphs you posted something is killing the battery, crazy drain.

i was thinking if i could flash another kernal but i'm not sure which is the best and which will work for me you can check me signature and tell me which is the best kernal for me i 'm using faux kernal at the moment

and can you please post the links as well thanks
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
Can anyone help me choose a good Kenral for my Rom
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I don't believe the kernel is the problem. I do, however, believe it's either a bad app or bad rom install. Try wiping everything and reinstalling. Install one app at a time after that.

Dude there's got to be some other problem. Yes, Sense drains battery but not at that level. It's ridiculously high :eek:

[Motorola Droid X2] Meticode:
Maybe this sheds more hope on the X2 getting ICS? The main difference between the phones are the X2 has a dual-core processor while the Incredible 2 has a single-core, but the Incredible 2 has 768MB of RAM while the X2 has 512MB. They both came out at around the same time period as well. Wouldn't the dual-core/single-core processor make a bigger difference on performance with ICS versus the 256MB extra of RAM?

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/1...nd-rhyme-will-all-receive-ice-cream-sandwich/

If the Incredible 2 gets it and the X2 doesn't I'm going to be slightly frustrated on the matter.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Hmm, unlocked bootloaders on older phones as well as ICS?

HTC is where I'm headed next when it's time to upgrade this summer...
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Well, unless memory management is a real mess on Android, I don't see why 512MBs of ram isn't enough. I ran WinXP for something like 2 years with 512 for 2 years and it ran smooth and fast. Then I added another 512 and to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference. The two OS's don't even compare when it comes to size and what needs to be loaded into ram.

Granted, the processor on the computer was twice as fast as the one on the X2, but I know people who ran XP just fine on the same amount of ram and a 1GHz single core processor. A bit slower than mine, but it ran fine. Perhaps I'm missing something. Don't know but it doesn't make sense to me.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
its simple

Motorola has released so many freaking phones lately that they do not have the time/manpower to keep up with updating them so they are gonna pick their biggest sellers and update them.

the x2 was simply a flop seller for them.

between the D3 coming out close to it, and the buzz around the bionic at the time, along with all the returned devices because the damn phone can't even play music smoothly consistently, it just seems like they aren't to worried about the relatively "small" percentage of customers they will piss off either by taking WAY to long to update us, or just altogether snuffing us on the update...

[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
hell even the HTC thunderbolt is getting ICS
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Hence, that's why I'm going HTC for my next phone. They at least seem to give a crap about their customers whereas Motorola wants to saturate the market with as many new phones as possible, going completely against their promise not to do so.

Oh well, this is the same company that promised to unlock their bootloaders by the 4th quarter of 2011 and we all now how smooth and wonderful that went.

I know someone posted that he despised HTC because they didn't seem to last long , going bad in a few months due to hardware failures. Has anyone else noticed that before or even now? Just curious.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
The HTC phone owners I know absolutely rave about their phones. I haven't heard about any hardware failures from them, and we talk about our phones frequently. So far, I've heard the best reviews on the Rezound. Which HTC are you considering?

+1 , indeed.

Think that the massive amounts of phones being created and released will decrease now that Google has acquired Motorola? That maybe, just maybe, they'll focus on quality over quantity?
[Motorola Droid X2] jbatacan:
I had a tmobile htc g1 for like 3 years. That thing was indestructible, and i even had gingerbread on it when it finally died. It fell into water no less, not even a hardware failure. Since then iv had an Incredible, which was a tough cookie as well, and a thunderbolt after that. Any talk of failures bar the software bugs the Tbolt had in its release IMO are pretty few and far between. i know i had great luck with them, and had i not loved my droidx so much in the time i had it, i probably wouldnt have a dx2. i do miss my unlocked bootloaders, and 1.8ghz OC on my tbolt :( too bad the battery life was atrocious. Id say go for an htc next :)
[Motorola Droid X2] MatthiasvW:
I also have to think that HTC has hit upon something with their recent commentary about shifting from producing a lot of models of smartphone to producing a few very GOOD models of smartphone. I'm all for this, I don't see any reason why there should be 10 varieties of phone from a single vendor on a couple of carriers, you're just creating problems like what we're seeing from Motorola here.
[Motorola Droid X2] 03civicdx:
In my past experience with HTC phones they didn't last long at all. I had a few crap out on me with hardware failure. But, that was a few years ago they may have better hardware now. Or I would really hope so anyways.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Every phone I've ever bought turned out to be crap and loose support within months. Next Time its either HTC or Samsung. I vowed not to get Motorola before I bought the X2 but bought it anyway. I love the phone but once again feel shafted.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Our company went with the origional incredible (10-15 phones) and didn't have many hardware issues that I'm aware of. Coverage was typical far as I could tell.

Me, I took a X back then and loved it till they killed it with GB. They offered me a few choices as a free replacement and I took the X2 thinking I had the docks etc for it.

At this point I'm not hesitating to jump ship from Moto, like alot have already said, to many phones pushed onto the market spreading the support for them way way to thin.
[Motorola Droid X2] dg4prez:
i wasn't impressed with my samsung. my fascinate seemed like it was forgotten the moment it was released. nice screen, though. my inc2 is three times the phone that was, and is currently running ICS with very few bugs, save for buggy camera. the biggest issue and gripe about htc is the audio. on the inc2, at least, the audio levels are low on custom roms unless tweaked in the kernel, due to the weird way they did the audio on this phone. i do like the phone, but for pure modding, i don't think you can beat a nexus. that may be my next device. i'd LOVE to see an HTC nexus.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Yep, the N1 (and its twin, the original Desire) is one of the best Android phones of all time.
[Motorola Droid X2] Johnpg:
I don't understand why you guys are complaining that X2 isn't getting ICS. I mean this phone came out in April or May11... There has only been 1 phone to even release with ICS since then and the next is still about a month out. By the time a ICS update would even hit for this phone, you would probably be a couple months from a upgrade anyway and a waaay better phone.

btw I had a HTC Incredible. Amazing phone and I abused the heck out of it on a physical and software level. Id go back to HTC in a heartbeat when their tegra 3 phone comes out.
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
I'mma be honest. I personally don't care if this phone gets ICS or not. I've toyed around with a nexus before and I still don't see what the big fuss over ICS is about. Sure ICS would be cool, but I wouldnt cry if I didn't get it lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
but the fact remains

Motorola publicly stated/promised to give updates and support devices for 18 MONTHS AFTER RELEASE. our x2 is perfectly capable of handling ics, we SHOULD get it. if we don't I for one will chalk it up to Motorola being lazy, not trying hard enough,.and being greedy (many people WANT ics and by not updating x2 many people will go buy a new device)
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
All this talk about HTC and Sami phones being better and all. But put aside cool features and even usability cuz of an unlocked bootloader. Do they sound as good as a phone?

I thought the D3 was a better sounding but had to choose ours cuz of the Bluetooth tone that is forced on D3 users. Yet I never heard a phone sound as good as the original Droid.

Rant off.
