To be honest, I know people that have them. You can take them on some fire roads and things, but I would not take one on a truly off-road trail.

It all depends on the terrain. The VStrom is very capable and versatile, but if you want to actually hit mud and trails, the DR-Z400 with some semi off-road tires is the one I would pick, or a Kawi KL-R650 or something. Those are basically large dirtbikes with lights and blinkers, whereas the V-Strom is an SV650 with a little more ground clearance that you can sorta take on very limited off road stuff.

The DR-Z and KL-R are actually dirt bikes made to be street legal, so if you have mud, ruts, trails and stuff to go through, I would use that. You can blast down a trail in the mud, jump stuff and then hose it off and ride it around town and on normal streets. That is really the best of both worlds, and 70mph doesn't suck either! hehe

Here is the one that I would pick if I was gonna spend more time offroad than on...

http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product.../DR650SE/2012/DR650SE.aspx?category=dualsport

Single cynlinder, air cooled, very solid and simply motor. Not much to go wrong, like dropping and cracking the radiator or something. Just give it gas and oil and go. It's a 650 so it has nice torque, and you could take that on an MX track and jump it and hit muddy trails and stuff and still ride it around town.

If you are looking more for advanture riding or touring, then I would say that the VStrom is an awesome choice. You just have to ask yourself how much offroad time you think you will have, and will it just be dirt roads, or real serious off-roading?

I used to have one of them fast bikes but then I got old and bought me this one ;)

It saves me about $85 a week on gas compared to my F150 :eek:

Yamaha Virago. Thinking about upgrading to a bigger bike but unable to do so right now :(
[Off-topic] boborone:
Those are alot cooler, but I have dirt bikes. Not looking for something I can hit trails with and go into town. Looking for something I can load down with saddle bags and not look back for a few weeks. Head up to some national parks and be able to ride down the logging roads. I'd like the on road handling of the vstorm. That is where I'd have it mostly. I mean the trip up to Yosimeti sp? is mostly highway. But I'd take the smaller state highways and camp out the whole way. That's what I'm looking for. Plus the dr, you would have to re route the exhaust to fit bags on it. It's not really a tourer.
[Off-topic] SquireSCA:
My buddy had a Virago 750, great bike!

I think that it is cool that today, you can be "old"(LOL) and get a fast bike that is comfortable.

There has been a surge of demand for fast capable sportbikes that don't require a trip to the chiropractor when you get home. So there are a ton of naked, upright bikes, that are light, agile, and have ripping motors in them.

Yamaha FZ1

Triumph Speed Triple 1050

Triumph Street Triple 675

Ducati Monster 696/696/1100

Ducati Streetfighter 1098/848

Ducati Hypermotard 796/1100 EVO

Kawasaki Z1000

Kawasaki Ninja 1000(amazing bike, very comfortable, a ZX10 for the street)

Honda CB1000r

You get the idea. Lots of demand for bikes that are lightning quick, you can toss on the track, or ride across the state on in relative comfort. With the economy tightening up, a lot of people cannot afford to have the cruiser for cruising, the race bike for the track, and a sportbike for fast street riding or the Mtns... They want one bike that can do very well across the board and there are some amazing options out there right now.

Best bang for the buck for a bike that is incredibly light, agile enough to hang with an R6 in the Mtns, can do a track day with ease, and let you tool around town all day long in comfort, is the Triumph Street Triple 675. Strap some soft luggage to it and go touring, and when you get there go tear it up in the Mtns with the sportbike crowd...
[Off-topic] boborone:
That's it, just mostlly dirt roads and such. Not looking to trail blaiz my ass across country through mud and sand the whole way. Just if it arises that I's like to see that mountain from the view over there, I can do it.
[Off-topic] SquireSCA:
Ah, then in that case your best bet is the VStrom for the money, they are meant for exactly what you are describing. If the money were available, I would probably go with a Triumph Tiger 800, but the cost difference is substantial, so while the Tiger might offer better offroad with the same on road capabilities, I think the cost difference doesn't make it as good a value. It costs a lot more, and that money could be spent on accessories, luggage, gear and a year's worth of fuel. LOL
[Off-topic] SquireSCA:
Have a track day coming up, anyone in the Southeast that is interested, I can get you an invite. It's a private track day at Little Talladega on Sunday April 15.

Went riding with the girlfriend this weekend up in the Mtns. She overshot a turn and went wide and into the gravel. Ended up tucking the front and as it dig in to the dirt it sorta high sided her over the front. Just some bruises and busted plastic, she dusted herself off and continued the 100 mile ride home. :-)

Correction, they had to move the private track day to April 29th, if your buddy is interested let me know.

It's $150 for the day and that includes a TON of track time, instruction, lunch, etc...

Hi peepz,

Since a week ago I installed ICS (9.2.1.11 WW) (android 4.0.3) First I was really excited about it but after 20 minutes I saw alot of bugs. So I started to look on the forum if more ppl had these but since I have alot of bugs I decided to make this post.

Bugs:

1: My screens give something like dead pixels (don't really know how to describe this so made screenshots and photo's of it) So on the photo's I see the dead pixels (as you can see too) but on the screenshots it shows like there are no problems?!?!!. So if anyone know how to fix this please tell me!

2: Sometimes my screen just turnsblack and I have to hit the powerbutton once for putting it in sleep and hit it again to wake it up... kinda weird? (i also goes to sleep when im playing a game or using a app, so it's not that im idle for too long:P)

3: When I shutdown my device with the power button and select shutdown. This all works but when I try to boot it up again I have to put the USB cable in my tablet and connect to the pc or the charger else it won't boot up!?

4: On some locations my wi-fi don't work it just keeps saying about getting ip adresses or something but that takes thousand years. (and my mobile does work there. I got nexus S running ICS 4.0.3 too).

So if someone could tell me how to fix one of these problems or maybe even all of them! That would be great!

Yours,

Kasper

I am using the kernel that come with CM9 beard off of Linux and I love it, I am getting better battery life using this than Franco's, but I'm not sure if you can just the kernel, I think you need to be on the ROM as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
i've tried lean,franco,glados and trinity..

both lean and trinity are my favorite, but for now i think i'll stick with lean :D

the latest trinity kernels...ofv and flatline are equal and in some cases better batt life then lean...without sacrificing performance...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OrangeFever:
I just recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus and have only tried out Franco Kernel. I get an average of 3.5 hours screen time while underclocked. After I record some accurate results, I think I'll switch to Lean Kernel in order to see which Kernel gives me the best battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D-KAKES:
My thoughts exactly, although I've had my GNex for over 2 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Why not try both yourself for a while? Just flash them and see what suits you best... For me I started with Franco and just sticked to it as it works perfectly for my needs but I can't compare the both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oblivionstalker:
Tried Franco kernel, 17.2 give me the best battery life with slightly more than 3.5 hrs on screen time, for M1 and M2, can only last slightly less than 3 hrs on screen. Anyone also experience this?

Anyone here tried GlaDos kernel and have any reviews?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
GLaDOS review

GLaDOS has both speed and good battery life. It's more or less based off the theory that processing stuff at higher speed will allow your phone to get more quickly back to sleep (not the same as "Deep Sleep"; the C4 rest state happens concurrently, even when you're on 1200 mhz).

But the only way to see if this pans out is to use it. You should try it with your daily usage and see if it works for you.*

For example, I find it has the best battery life for playing music with screen off (3% per hour speakerphone, 5-6% on bluetooth) and matches [or beats] the others for stress-usage (screen on, 8-10 apps in background gets around 20%). I haven't tried intermediate usage, because frankly, I don't use only a few apps when I'm using, so that's a gap to fill I guess. Note: streaming music is apparently a problem, judging from recent reports.

*Use BetterBatteryStats or an app with series history; the graph should become linear partway and that's when you know to take numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] udmbrian:
Yeah but how do you backup your default kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I just installed Franco kernel, why would one install lean kernel? what's the difference between two anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbarayah:
I think the answer to this question is, 'it depends'.

I think the ROM/Kernel combination has an impact on performance and battery life.

For example: previously while running bixie's stock and AndroidME, I had great performance with Trinity. However, on AOKP, trinity delivered poor battery life. With AOKP, I found Franco to be a better match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
OK, you're right I didn't really gave you enough information on my end)

I'm using stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OTA, I did rooted my phone so that I can install different kernel

I'm using few social (facebook,google+,foursquare,etc) apps, some messengers (what'sup,kik,google voice)

as far as data goes I'm using Juice Defender and that helps me a bit with my data on/off

but what _REALLY_ kills my battery is screen, in the best case scenario I was able to archive a little over 2h of screen time and in most cases it's ~1:30h

i'm using standard battery in my phone.

my goal is _SOMEHOW_ increase screen time

that's why I'm trying out franco kernel)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Lean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The kernel that is included on whatever ROM you are on. Flashing a custom kernel will make your phone act up at random times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Lean Kernel. Great battery life, stable as a rock (even the experimental builds), and good performance. It also let me UV the most out of all the kernels I've tried, though that's not necessarily relevant, since I've gone back to SR again.

On my phone Franco is usually a bit iffy in terms of stability, giving me more reboots and running my phone hotter.

You should try them both (and other popular ones like Trinity) though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
trinity!

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

just like the kernel thats included in your rom, or stock rom. of course that has nothing to do with the user and his/her setup. ironically, the kernel im using doesnt act up, what am i doing wrong? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Out of those two, Franco.

I like other kernels more than both of those.

Lean has always given me the worst battery life of any kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Lean plays very nice for me, Franco isn't bad either, I found Glados kernel didn't play nice with MIUI rom, drained even on deep sleep
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwood20:
I always go back to Franco's because I get the most fluid experience. I get more lag using other kernels multiple ROMs I've used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I'm trying non-stock kernels out. I've installed franco, I think it's pretty good the only one thing I found is my Hulu wouldn't stream videos, so I've tried learn kernel and that's not an issue... so, i'm going try out lean more, but on my tablet (nexus7) I'm using franco.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gjot:
Franco the best! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
Franco and plus if you have the app even better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
what app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Franco Kernel Updater, I think is what it's called. You can flash both Franco and Lean Kernels from it, and adjust stuff like voltage, governor, colour settings, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
ahh, right) that's what i use))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibenjakinov:
Can the regulator voltages be adjusted with lean kernel? I have been using Glados for the past few months and it allows for lots of voltage adjustments. I can usually get about 3hrs screen time and 14-15hrs total on battery before I need to recharge. I am mostly on WiFi to get these results.

So far I have no complaints with Glados but would be willing to try another kernel if I could squeeze more battery life out of it without sacrificing too much performance.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Yeah, the CPU voltages are customizable. I think you can do it through a terminal emulator app, but I use Franco's app (which is easier), or there's LeanTweaks over at Rootzwiki.

I'm a big fan of CM, after updating to 10.1 I tried Lean, Franco and Trinity.

I couldn't get used to the colors of Trinity, so after that I tried Franco which worked flawlessly.

Now I'm on Lean cause of the awesome battery life in combination with CM10.1.

My last charge has given me 1d and 14 hours already, with well over 2 hours screen, quite some time on a mobile internet connection and still have 8% left.

I have generally experienced the problems you are describing when I am using a power plug that is defective or poorly made.

Do you have access to another Transformer power plug that you could test the issue with? For instance if it works fine with another charger then you know the first one is bad.

if you have a recovery (twrp in your case) then you have all you need to flash a other rom

- go to twrp

- make a backup of your current rom

- copy the rom you would like to flash to the root of sdcard (the .zip file)

- follow the instructions in the op of the selected rom (when and what to wipe/purge - it's different depending on the rom)

- flash the new rom

- reboot and be patient

- the first boot can need up to 20min

hello everyone,

I have spent quite a few days researching around the forum, and eventually managed to root, s-off,change cid and install dark forest rom for sensation xe.

I must say that this is THE most comprehensive concentration of information available everywhere.

However i have to add that, not all of us "brainiacs" :confused: is capable understanding what you masterminds write. If eventually we "brainiacs" suceed to make something work,believe me it is pure luck.

Some step by step instructions would be more than welcome, and by that i am not saying that there arent any, but for me as a noob, it was quite challenging to filter what i need, what is a must do step, and what i dont need. And when i finally understood what i have to do, that was not enough, because i still did not know how to do it.

All in all you guys are THE authority for every gizmo there is. :D:D

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 4219121:
Each person does it their own way, some skip NAND backup, some dont wipe, etc. Generally, backup, wipe and check md5 sums before flashing, if you skip any of those steps, thats up to you, problems may occure and they may not. For an example, I dont check md5s. So far, I never needed to restore NAND backup, but things could go wrong one day, so I make them. Wiping is a must, we want our mobile fresh new, dont we? (unless chef says dont - InsertCoin Sense 4 Beta 4 for an example)

NAND backup:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Find backup

3. Confirm everything

4. Wait like 10 minutes

5. DOne

Wipe:

I use Mike1986's script for wiping, just put on sd card and flash it

MD5 Checksums:

1. Get a md5 checker

2. Since each of them work differently, I wont give you manuals on this, you do development stuff, you should be smart enough to figure it out yourself

Flashing ROMs:

1. Again, some might have aroma installer, some just simple touch recovery, some just need waiting and its done.

Btw. IMO if you dont know how to do these things, you arent qualified for flashing roms

I agree, if you want something done, you have to do a lot of searching and reading. I don't see that as a bad thing, by searching and reading through the forum you get to learn more about the possiblity's of our phone and why certain things happen or need to be done.

I use the search button very often just like you and learned a lot more then when i would just follow a step by step guide for everything. But i agree, sometimes the forum just looks like a soup with information;)
