[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paboater76:
I know it's been asked before a million time, but I don't have an Inc my daughter does. she has been running cm7 for the longest time. but it's gotten really bad as time had gone on. I have seen the list of ROM and it is huge, all I care about is battery.. dont matter is it AOSP, sense, senseless etc.

Can you please suggest the rom with the best battery like.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N-Forced:
Running MIUI with incredikernel with smartass 2 enabled and 128 min, I can go 2 full days with medium use till I need to charge again. But what works for me might not be the same for you or anyone else, that all depends on what all you have running/syncing in the background, how many times it syncs, network data, etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
If she is using the same stock battery that came from the phone, it's likely that now it can only hold 60-80% of the original charge- depending on her use.

Maybe consider dropping a few bucks on a 1900mah battery (fits in stock casing).

-- -- -- -- --

I would stick with CM7, and make sure you're using the incredikernel. Try flashing the predefined "undervolt" file. If she has reboots, then just revert it and no worries.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irufan:
even i also have found that CM7 is the best for battery life
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerwiz908:
Going to have to +1 that. CM7 definitely has had the best battery life on my phone, and I've flashed a ton of ROMs. I'm also running Incredikernel with smartassv2, which I think helps a lot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Recent Anthem 3.0 can hold amazing charges, the OP had a 54 hour charge, someone also had a 20+ charge.

I'm guessing she uses it alot, Cm7 for me has been nothing but bad battery. Drains within an hour of medium use.

My suggestion is give the Anthem 3.0 a try and see how you and her like it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
Try Inc-Deck 1.3. It's an offshoot of CM7.1 and it works great with incredikernel 3/21 ICS. Set the govenor to interactivex, the max frequency to 883, the screen brightness to 20%, the screen timeout to 15 seconds and cross your fingers that you live in an area with strong signal.

I get anywhere from 16-30 hours with that combo depending on how much data I use.

If your daughter does not use much data switch it off... an instant 3-6 hours battery boost.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
I have to agree with this

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeseman04:
Anecdotally, I have found battery life improves with two things: leaving the screen off as much as possible (screen always drags battery life) and using wifi when it's available (the comment on data usage is true, it's a drain).

Also, getting a second battery is always a good idea, adds to the versatility of your smart phone experience.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nioin3k:
I've found that the older gingerbread and sense roms have better battery life.

I would look into Nils' Business Gingersense ROM, and PureMotive's Anthem ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530687)

I prefer Anthem, and if you follow the instructions on his post (using gingertiny kernel, setting CPU speed) you can achieve excellent battery life.

I personally used Anthem with Tiny's kernel and got about 48 hours with regular use.

happy with go launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
Go launcher. I was a LPP user for years. I use APW Widgets with go launcher. Basically the same Widgets as lpp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Yeah go launcher for sure, i had launcher pro for a lil while, then i switched to adw. Adw was great and i thought i would never replace it, but then i tried go launcher and never looked back. Have tried others but always end up coming back to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Agreed, golauncher does it for me, but the apk is rather bloated and after reviewing has a lot of useless features that make it sumwat battery unfriendly.. would b nice to have an alternitave with similar features without all the unnecessary extras

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jRi0T68:
I've paid for and used Launcher Pro and ADW EX each for months, then I saw saw the thread here on sslauncher. Free, and amazing. I'm never going back to the others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scyke:
Launcher Pro was my favorite, but it is becoming outdated due to lack of updates. GO Launcher EX has great features and is free. ADW EX is also good but it is a paid app. I would go with GO Launcher EX. Its fast, lots of customization, and its free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I actually like TW compared to the others I tried (which is about all of them). I like to be able to touch the dots to change screens instead of swiping. I can go from homescreen 1 to 5 with just one touch. Same with the app drawer. I have 12 pages of apps. I don't need to keep swiping from one page to the other to get through them all, or if I have it on continuous, I don't have to scroll from top to bottom. If I'm on page 1, and I need page 10, I just tap that dot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
I like Go better than all the rest. I like the ease of being able to long press an icon and then being able to delete from screen, change the icon, or add a gesture on the homescreen.

I also like the fact that in the app drawer you can hide apps from showing without having to freeze them using titanium backup. I use this to keep my app drawer organized. I hide all the apps in the app drawer that i have in my dock. No point in having them show up in 2 places.

Also with Go you can have up to 3 docks. you just swipe left or right to get to more apps on the dock. I use this to keep my homescreen as clean looking as possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BiteBlaze:
ADW Launcher EX is great! But on ICS I use APEX, Nova Prime, and sometimes Trebuchet, but I only have ICS on my Kindle Fire right now so I can't get the full experience on my phone. ADW Launcher EX can be themed in multiple ways, I use the ICS theme on my phone. So basically use ADW!

Go is ok. I see so many people love it, but it always seems to have the most lag fir me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kap09:
I always used LPP for the widgets, but now use ADW EX with APW.

Worth mentioning that I used the default ICS launcher on my Nexus S and was a big fan.

I like Go Launcher, why?

1. Free

2. Calendar widget

3. Customizable

4. Frequent updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darll:
Go launcher does the work for me...

Lots of customization, Ice cream sandwich themes, go widgets and free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Zeam Launcher. It's the underdog minimalistic launcher.

Not as many customizations as others out there, but it's only 388kb in size, runs very very smooth and fast with zero lag. You can add as many apps as you like to the docking bar. have swiping gestures to go to your app drawer, notifications, phone.

Also can change your app drawer to either a touchwiz style of swiping page to page or the way I like which is vertical scrolling. Best launcher I have tried so far, I get excellent battery life as well.

BEST LAUNCHER AFTER TRYING MORE THAN 20 from in & out of PLAYSTORE

Hi all,

I am a great fan of SGS2 and I hate apple phones coz they lack customisation a lot...

I had spent a lot of money purchasing more and more launchers from market (including SPB shell, TSFshell, Claystone, Go, Nova, Apex, Nemus, Wave, Regina, MxHome, DxHome, ADW, FTL and many more)

Many of the above are cool launchers on SGS2.

The reason why I didnt use stock Touchwiz was because this had no option of hiding apps, adding more dock icons, no 3d style transitions..

Recently I gained root access on my stock ICS ROM(got via Kies NPL csc)

AND THEN I GOT WHAT I WANTED...

Touchwiz Home 4.5.

Upto 5 dock icons..

Can change 4 of them to your choice

Cool transition of homescreens

All stock SGS3 icons

Excellent app drawer

SGS3 like feel

Can hide apps, uninstall apps from app drawer itself

upto 9 homescreens if u want more space

can set default homescreen in screen preview mode (pinch zoomout desktop)

Widgets tab with all widget preview.

Link to installed apps

IT JUST FEELS LIKE A DREAM EDIT OF STOCK TWlauncher...

Root users must try it..

Go Launcher EX

Go Launcher Ex :) Nice SystemUI and preferences for allowing Apps Icon, Widget Size Editing and etc. Although i don't like to see its Apps Icon shown in apps drawer. Makes Launcher feel distinctive compared to default Home Launcher.

Hello,

I really liked this iOS Winterboard theme and wanted to use it's icons for my MIUI rom. The ripped .png icons in the .rar file have all turned into this black square. I was wondering if you guys knew why this was, and if there is a fix for it. I've seen these icons on a MIUI rom before so I know its possible to have these iOS icons on an Android.

I've included one of the icons in a .zip folder if anyone would like to have a look at it.

Why is it that both of these apps for rooted phones cannot be run in parallel? It seems to be one or the other, and I really want both disabled. Is there some kind of workaround? I saw an HTC AdFree Fix but that was posted in 2010. I'm sure the AdFree app now (updated) does what the fix does.

I backed up my apps using Titanium backup and I tried flashing the codename android rom but when i tried to restore my apps using titanium, a lot of the apps cant be installed. Will i have to re-install all the apps one by one? What will happen to the app data?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I've never personally had good luck restoring App + Data. I think it only worked for me maybe two or three times out of all the times I've tried to restore.

I've had much better luck re-installing the apps from the Market (now Play Store) individually, and using Titanium to restore JUST the app Data.

It makes it a pain, but at least it works, and you only have to do it once.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grishm:
same problem

even i am facing the same problem...

yesterday i rooted my phone & installed AOKP ROM

before installing that ROM i had taken a titanium backup of all the apps & data..

now i am not able to see any apps.. not even the titanium backup app..

also my sd card shows no folders..

please help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
How is this at all the same problem?

Sounds like you lost root when you updated, and need to re root. Also sounds like your AOKP install either was a wipe install, or you did a wipe when you installed, thus wiping out your apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grishm:
ok,, after doing some research & analysis.. & also with some help from my fried.. i have restored the apps.. but they are not restored properly.. i havent checked all apps.. but when i opened whatsapp i see tat the display picture of 1 contact is applied to the display picture of another contact.. its reflected in people app as well..

also my sd card issue remains the same..

i am not able to see any folders which were present in my sd card..

@ctomgee - i still have root access..

please help

i dont know what has gone wrong..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Internal or external sd?

I don't know anything about AOKP, so I doubt I can help much. You are probably better off asking for help in the ROM thread.

Also you can restore your APP manually using the APK installer. Just locate where those APKs are stored...:)

I am curious to know what ways you members here go about doing this: transferring files to and from the phone to the computer and vice versa.

The only way I've discovered right now is to use the SwiFTP Android app which sets up an FTP Server on the phone using your home network, and then I setup a network location in Windows 7 using the provided address from SwiFTP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
You talking wired or wireless?
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTC_DMJ:
Wirelessly.

Although I'm open to hearing how everyone else transfers their files. I wanted to basically do it wirelessly to avoid the constant wear and tear of either a) using the usb cable on the phone, or b) removing the microSD card time and time again wearing down the contact points.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
Dropbox. Nuff said.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Absolutely...Dropbox is the best! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
ES File Explorer. You can transfer files directly, manage your SD card, use Bluetooth, FTP servers and even setup your Dropbox. It's quite handy.

WiFi File Explorer works really well also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bulkman44:
I like Box. I like their interface a lot better than Dropbox and until 3/23, Android users get 50 GB free for life. They do limit upload size to 100 MB, but for stuff I upload, it's fine.

That said, I use both. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
I use WiFi File Explorer if I'm working primarily on my computer and want to send something to my phone. Now that ES File Explorer fixed the SMB password issue, I'll use it if I'm in a different room than my computer and want to grab a file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Airdroid is rather nice for the limited wireless file stuff I do.

It is also nice for managing contacts OR sending text messages (or getting them) and what not without having to constantly pick up your phone)

Yes it does file management to boot
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
I connect my device several times every day via USB and have seen no sign of wearing it out. I wouldn't worry about that too much as they are made to last to enable charging.

I use USB transfer quite a bit.

Wirelessly I like Airdroid. I have used WiFi Explorer successfully. Box and Dropbox work very well, too. So, nothing new in my reply but there you go.

Omnia 7 contacts BACK to PC

Hi ;

Trying to find a relative thread .... think this one is close ?? -

1. I am no techno genius ; have aquired an Omnia 7/windows phone only as my daughter told me I should get one !

2. Recently had to reinstall windows on the home PC.

3. I have all my contacts/email address's on my Omnia 7 -

4. Have lost the majority of those email address's from my PC windows live contacts/address's.

5. Have installed both KIES and also ZUNE on my home computer/pc

6. Although I can find a path to send contact list from PC to my phone on KIES,

I can not find a way to do the reverse ?

So ... what is the best/simplest way for me to transfer all the contacts, or particularly their email address's,

from my OMNIA 7 back into my list of Windows live contacts on my PC -

thanks.
