Battery, that is tuff one. I mean easy but you need a modified apk (special) apart from the theme itself. If you use the stock apk, all would be stock not only just the battery.

As reported at the main thread of that kernel, sometimes it doesn't work. or doesn't work at all with calls. Doesn't have configuration for BLN unlike CM.

I'm not sure if it's the light color for the description color. It's near white. Might use blue for it again.

D*mn, thanks. Removed already. ROM is done, just the theme. Might release it later this evening.. Installed a Linux and thinking I can compile a kernel in time. But it seems it has to wait for Caduceus.. Or if someone beat me to it which would be a surprise to you all and can't mention yet who, then i will include it. :)
[LG Optimus Black] VictorMun:
Sounds great. Just to be precise, by "network tweaks" I mean the last # of your build.prop.
[LG Optimus Black] Zakyz:
How about this? :)
[LG Optimus Black] xpresotw:
Cool
[LG Optimus Black] Monkey101:
Thanks for the great ROM. :)

I just have a small problem with battery life. Any idea on how i can improve it?

Battery usage is:

Mobile Standby - 50%

Phone Idle - 48%

Display - 2%

CPU spy reports the phone is not going into Deep Sleep. Its staying at 300Mhz.
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
hmm..

mine is running now for about 15 hours and still 71% battery left..

wifi, no gps, did some browsing, no calls..

i have antutu cpu master running:

- governor: smartass v2

- i/o scheduler: deadline

no profiles enabled

update: 30 hours on battery (15%)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Use another Governor (you can change it with SetCPU or similar apps).

That should solve your problem ;)
[LG Optimus Black] dookoo:
I discovered something .... i do not know if it is a bug or just my phone.... today, i was talking on the phone, and someone else called me. the waiting call apeared on the screen, but when i wanted to answer, it jammed the phone. after the first person hanged up, i couldn't do anything... after that, it come back to normal...

does someone else experienced that?
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I'm not getting any problem with battery... It's 79% Deep sleeping! maybe you should stop frequent update of certain apps and disable Wi-fi.
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
wifi isn't the problem..

my battery lasts for 30 hours with wifi

but i agree on the apps or frequent updates..
[LG Optimus Black] capocorp:
what's the name of icon theme? really cool
[LG Optimus Black] Zakyz:
Dont know :P I made it myself. :)

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] Monkey101:
Sorted it out.

I changed to governor to Smartass2 and all is perfect :).

I hadn't installed any apps yet so i knew it wasnt that.
[LG Optimus Black] Segfau:
Awesome ROM

Hi gabwerkz!

I have to say I appreciate your work. I have been using your ROM and I god damn love it!!

Simply beautiful! (suggestion: on settings menu you could change the colors of icons to white or orange, like the selection highlight color)

Everything works great and no complains so far ;)

The only bug I found was a FC of HTC IME (I don't use it, so no problem to me)...

oh, and the LG Home Launcher was too slow (strangely slow), but after I changed to Go Launcher (that is a heavy launcher) everything started running super smoothly :)

So I suggest everyone to replace the LG Home Launcher if you are having some lag...

Keep up with your good work :)

Thanks!

Cumps

(me no speak good english :D)
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
the first two times i installed echelon it wasn't running smooth but laggy..

i still don't know why but now echelon is running fantastic.

i am using go launcher ex now and everything runs very smooth, but i started with lg launcher en that was also running very smooth.

echelon is my favorite now ( Thumbs up Gabwerkz!!) and i'm very curious about the update...

now i am going to try to add screen off profile en see how that works..
[LG Optimus Black] dookoo:
I felt indebted to a review in terms of energy consumption with this great ROM! I put some image captures, I think, speaks for itself.

say that all the time on the phone has 3G, display brightness at maximum data transfer started, and quite a few applications that connect to the Internet periodically, such as palmary weather and more.

are extremely pleased with this ROM, I installed it almost a week, is great! Without lag, goes very smooth and very fast. I want to thank the team that developed this ROM and congratulate them for your hard work!

I highly recommend!

greetings!
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Thank you guys.. Brahma is now available to taste. There are some changes so any suggestions are welcome.

See OP for changelog.

And once again, I'd appreciate a mirror for this one. Pardon my internet connection.
[LG Optimus Black] ocovarr112:
new version, im wondering why dont you give the the link to test before, anyway downloading right now, I ll give you my feedback as always. If you want I can make mediafire mirror.
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
Thanks for the updated version of Echelon.

Going to try it tonight or tomorrow..

one Question, in changelog i see that the use of cpu control (setcpu or like that) is not possible anymore..

how do we change governor or i/o scheduler?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Sorry about that. But this is the pilot release for brahma. I didn't find any issue and it's better for mass test rather a couple. :) Bug reports then will be submitted and the update will commence.

I thank you for any feedbacks, thanks.

I dropped sergey's kernel. Though rich in features, and gain performance If I tweak it, there's some lag I experience with it.

I'll make a modified/tweaked boot.img of it (flashable).

The kernel is V20o, not sergey's... I dropped it. Since the review of V20o is quite good using ondemand, no need to change it. The DVFS is of with a purpose (I believe, to stabilize/match frequencies and voltages).
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Hi gabz, nice to see the new ROM. Making a Minus.com mirror.

Do you think it is possible to bring in the feature of CM, that if you hold the back button in an opened programm, it gets completely closed? cause this would be nice, especially with apps like facebook and so on. Then I bet we would have less wakelocks and even more battery time. But I dont know, how deeply this is coded, or if it is just a few lines somewhere. Maybe talk to Redy or/and Huexxx bout it, cause this is a real good feature i think ;)

Here is the Minus Link. If you want me to remove it, PM me mate ;)

http://i.minus.com/1332536587/McObm5W5fjlBb3pFCdVozQ/db0ImQRxXrS8pN.zip
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Ei bro, thanks. Yeah I installed Linux and will try to compile from source. If I understand this things correctly, features can be cherry picked in regards with AOSP like CM. How compatible are they with LG's Gingerbread needs to be tested.

Yeah, talked to Redy and knzo for a possible kernel. We'll see...

And thanks for the link, as always.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
That would be a dream come true :D Redy and knzo united and giving a superduper great kernel to an already great ROM... Oh that would ROCK MY WORLD :D Anyway, all the work you have done, is very much appreciated by me. I love this minimal style, the speed and the battery of this ROM. I might try Huexxx ROM again, when it leaves beta stage, since it also is very good, but until now, i prefere yours, mainly because of the style. Battery and performance in daily use is about equal/I couldnt see any difference.

Do you really think knzo and Redy will join in? If so, this could become the second Nova ROM :D
[LG Revolution] rodney323:
if anyone have a PS Vita i was wondering if you guys got the vita to see the wifi tether app access point my vita doesnt seem to pick up the signal
[LG Revolution] keynith:
What tether app are you using?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
On the built in tether app on GV I got it to work no issues. Downloaded the free RC game that way.
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Same here. Love my vita
[LG Revolution] rodney323:
im using the app from GV and my vita is not finding it T-T QQ
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
What are your settings on the tether app?
[LG Revolution] rodney323:
whats ur settings and let me try that and if it dont work then i just have a gee gee revo lol
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I'm back stock but I had the LG optimus setting. With softap.
[LG Revolution] rodney323:
in my settings i dont see anything saying softtap was wondering wat is that
[LG Revolution] rodney323:
scratch that after setting it to lg optimus s profile it see's it now THANKS
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
No problem.
[LG Revolution] palakmar:
I am experiencing same problem. my PSP Vita does not see my hotspot but other devices have no problem. I have Wireless Tether 3.1 build 11 on Samsung Epic Touch 4g.
[LG Revolution] Lok3sh:
I have this issue too but I have a Motorola Photon. I hear that the PSV only accepts non ad-hoc WiFi connections or something like that. If I switch on my Mobile Hotspot that came built into the OS, then the PSV sees that just fine and connects to it but the internet does not work because my carrier does not allow it. So we basically need to use an app that creates a hotspot just like the phone firmware does it seems. Does anyone know of one? My phone is rooted.
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
I've gotten my phone to teather my old psp 1000 with the Optimus and softap settings on so I'm assuming this will work for the vita too
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Are these batteries reliable, could they cause any voltage issues later on?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] sp00nix:
That's quite an expensive battery.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] shinydesert:
More expensive than a car battery,but thanks for the info.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Agreed! I bought 3 batteries with a stand alone charger for 15$ and the batteries are 1500ma not 1650ma but for 15$ good enough. Gotta love ebay and Hong Kong items.

PS: The 15$ includes the free shipping.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] teradark:
I brought the mugen battery, works pretty good. Now I'm changing devices so ill probably sell the battery.

Sent from my Captivate Glide via Cup & String.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
How much more performance did you get out of it. Percentage and hours wise?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] teradark:
Well I'm a heavy user on some days and my job requires my cellphone, but I can go a full day without worry.

... this phone sucks power up. Which is kinda lame, but oh well I guess.

Sent from my Captivate Glide via Cup & String.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Just out of curiosity, why changing devices ?

The Captivate Glide has only been out since Nov 2011.

Was the additional 7mm an issue for pocket-ability or weight ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] teradark:
Our contract ended so we are switching carriers.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lookin4Trouble:
What are you looking to get for the battery? I need the extra capacity but don't have the cashola Mugen wants...

thx

[Samsung Captivate Glide] prophac:
i have the mugen 3600 mah battery. i purchased it from amazon and i tell u its the best thing i invested in. hands down its the longest battery i experienced on any device with purchasing a extendee battery. the only thing that lasted as longer was the mili case/external battery for the iphone 4s. other then that i easily get a day. im a heavy and i mean heavy user. i play online games, i play games on my phone listen to google music watch youtube, watch anime online. i basically do eveything on my phone. i easily get about 7 - 8 hours screen on time with no worries. trust me u wont be disappointed
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Could someone who bought this battery take a screenshot of the size enlargement of the device when having the battery in it?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Theres a link to a youtube hosted video of it on the Mugen site:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...tandt-captivate-glide-with-battery-door.html#
[Samsung Captivate Glide] nightbirddesigns:
That video was extremely helpful. That's a big tradeoff to have to make, extended life for a much bulkier device. Intriguing though.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
There's a slim extended battery as well, 1950mAh, which fits under the existing cover:

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=66232

http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-1950mah-battery-for-att-samsung-captivate-glide/

So its either:

1950mAh slim extended, no added thickness, giving 18% more power.

OR

3600mAh fat extended with additional 7mm thickness, giving 118% more power.

I will definitely order one of these but still not sure which.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Good find, thanks.

I'll go for the 1950mAh slim, battery life is my only issue with this phone.

Edit: Bought the Mugen Power Extended 1950mAh via Google checkout.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Let us know how you like it and if you see a increase in battery life.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Sure... Ended up buying it from DayDeal.com with Amazon Payments. Google Checkout suspended my Wallet account, because my billing address wasn't US.

Amazon is carrying them too from the same sellers.

I bought an Andida Extended Life Slim Battery 2300mAh off ebay and its been working fine. The only draw back i had was that it does not fit with the original cover, i'm using an Empire phone case and it keeps the cover there.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
How much extra real life are you getting out of it over the standard 1650mAh battery ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
It has arrived :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Cool.

Once burned in let us know how much additional time the slim extended battery gives.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] antonyfirst:
I don't know if this can be useful to anyone, but personally I have purchased a Trent iCruizer battery pack. It has about 8-9 times the capacity of the phone's internal battery, and will stay when you change telephone. it's pretty heavy compared to the smartphone itself, but you only use it to recharge the Glide on the go. There are smaller sizes as well, like Trent iTruck or even smaller.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Would definitely be useful for long trips without traditional power.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
This is how it's performing so far.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] The_Bizzel:
I'm very curious about those Mugen batteries. But the price is a tad high for me at the moment. Ended up just having to get another samsung oem 1650mah battery, and have two external battery usb packs. I'm not gonna touch those "acesoft" batteries either.

How's the slim mugen battery holding up?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
My usage will obviously be different:

Only 1 or 2 calls and messages,

Wi-Fi always on, connected (office) and syncing on,

Check email intermittently,

2 x 50min train trips with gaming,

After 12 hours, back at home would normally be at 30% with the stock battery.

It looks like after 12hrs your at ~45%.

How does that compare to the stock battery under your similar usage ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
You seem to be faring pretty well, considering your gaming routine.

This graph was when it was fully charged and I stopped charging around 12:46am, slept... hence you see no screen on for a long period. Essentially half of the time was spent on standby. Only major usage occurred while listening to Audible in the car.

Apps that do active background syncing, to my knowledge:

1. IM+ Pro (IM, light usage)

2. WhatsApp (IM, light usage)

3. DoubleTwist (audio podcasts)

4. Google Play (apps, ocassional use)

5. Gmail (light usage)

Will be testing with a full charge at start of day.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
This is my active day time usage, unplugged at around 6am. Getting roughly 50% battery left after 12 hours. I perceive a 10%~20% improvement (YMMV).

If someone wants to post their own usage stats, we can establish a baseline for the stock battery.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Sounds like its working as it should, since it has 18% more capacity than stock battery.

Also, I noticed around 10 to 20% better standby time by going into Settings - Location and Security - Disable USB Debugging mode and Ticking it.

The battery graph stays nearly horizontal when in standby now, where as before Enabling it, it trickled down more noticably.

Don't know what else that option does though.

I think I'll get the 3600mAh battery though.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Bought the 3600mAh battery on June 30th and arrived July 9th.

The instructions say for the first 4-5 charges, to charge the battery for 8-12 hours and to not re-charge until the phone itself says low battery.

It does make the phone a bit bulkier (extra 7mm think), however it actually makes it easier to hold, especially with the keyboard open. Doesn't feel like it will fly out of the hands when opening the spring loaded keyboard.

The new back cover feels like cheaper plastic, and attracts dust, but it does fit well and is well curved so it still goes into a pocket nicely.

The stand on the back is perfect for sitting on a desk in landscape mode for movies.

So first charge was last night, it already had 75% when plugged in, I let it charge for 10 hours or so, I think 9 of those hours it was already on 100% but let it charge as instructed.

First use of the battery on way to work on train for 60 mins travel time with the screen on the whole time, played MC3, email, music and various syncs, I have 91%.

The stock battery would have around 75-79% if I'm lucky.

Will see how it performs after the first break in charges are done.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ShimmerX:
This sounds promising so far. I'm not sure if I can live with the added bulk of the phone when using the 3600mah battery but I am very interested in how much better it will perform. Please keep us updated.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Stand looks nifty, can you please post some closeup photos with the stand extended. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
After first charge it took 1d 9hrs to get to 5%, including 4x45min sessions of MC3 gaming with sync, data and wifi enabled.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Some pics of the 3600mha battery with the stand.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] liquidmetalrob:
It's good to know there are 1950mAh batteries that fit inside the standard case. Shame I didn't know that yesterday before I ordered another 1650mAh one. At least it didn't cost that much.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Having the 1950mAh didn't help much on my vacation, when I took the phone to Sri Lanka. Even though I was turning H+ on and off manually. It really drains fast. Having a second battery did help, but swapping or charging an additional battery on the road isn't that convenient.

I'll be going for the 3600mAh before my next vacation.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Got the 3600mAh too.

Now I have two spare batteries. One original stock from Samsung and another Mugen 1950mAh ...yikes! :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
does it really necessary to buy one? and are they any good?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
You wont regret the 3600mAh.

Its my main battery now.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

If your a heavy user and dont want the hassle of having to top up charge during the day, then yes.

The 3600 lasts twice as long than the standard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] liquidmetalrob:
1650mah battery lighter than standard one

I bought a replacement 1650mah battery and found it was actually 4 to 5 grams lighter than the standard one. So it doesn't give you longer battery life but it does make the phone lighter. You can find the one I ordered here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370637886357
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
I love the Mugen 3600mAh battery and the back cover. It's like I have a new phone. Not just because of the extended battery, which feels like I have my E71 back battery wise.

Using the phone with the added thickness and grip is much more fun, either making calls or typing with the keyboard out. I think there is a real market (stock or after) for selling just these thicker back covers. I used to worry about the phone slipping out, no more :)

Kick stand come in handy while listening to podcasts or radio.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Maruzko:
Definitely the 3600mha is a worthy purchase.

Using it now on our Europe trip.

I used to have a E71 too. Seems once a keyboarder, always a keyboarder, except during my dark days owning a Nokia 5800. Good device, just hated not having a keyboard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
I found this on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00932JLTC/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

You can also find a two battery deal as well, for $18.50 and it says its 3600 but I am always suspicious of this as it always seems to good to be true considering the mugen is so expensive...

Well so far after all the extensive testing I have done, this battery is great!

I have no idea on normal standby because I'm always messing with it, its stayed charged with little use other than texting and leaving wifi on, it lasted over a day and a half, all night one night and the whole time I woke up the following day after.. it was awesome for that feature alone.
