I have the 4.0 US. Is there anyway to know for sure? Is there a command that lets me see a directory list of the partitions? I can post them here.

I am assuming that...

/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs ro,relatime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

...must be the factoryfs.rfs file.

Where is the listing for the zImage though?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
I don't know why it's not shown, but I can guarantee 100% it's bml7. I've pulled the zImage from my device many times and flashed it without problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yeah, its weird, results of 'mount' change for me every time. The partitions are identical to a galaxy S, I know as I compared sizes of both (using merticulus's awesome tool). For some reason you can't rip using the bml but have to use stl, even though from my underatanding they are the same. Someone tried recovering with a bml backup, but it wouldn't work, had to use stl. There is probably a logical, obvious explanation for that but I am afraid I don't know it, lol! ATTENTION; EVERYTHING SAID ABOVE APPLIES TO THE 4.0 ONLY! (just thought I should throw in a disclamer)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
Nothing huge here, but I themed the Notification Drawer Widgets in CM9 to match the blue ICS uses and thought I'd share it with folks since I didn't see it anywhere.

This is a zipthemer file, so you'll need to download it from the Market (it's free) and use it to create the update.zip to flash in CWM. If you want to use this but aren't familiar with zipthemer let me know, I can help you out.

I couldn't get a screenshot but here are

some

of the icons.

Got a screenshot....

*How to use Zipthemer*

download zipthemer here

*How to use Zipthemer*

note: you may need a ROM of you have flashed (CM9) in order to configure your edify script (this is the script that tells CWM what to do when you run your update.zip file)

1. Install zipthemer!

2. Open up the menu (on ICS it's the 3 vertical dots) and click on update edify (you will only have to do this once)

3. Updating Edify screen (complete

either

Option 1

or

Option 2)

- option 1: browse to the ROM you have on your phone and click it -- done

- option 2: click on download, then exit out of the screen, click options (3 dots), settings, update script format, select your phone. If your phone isn't present, see option 1.

4. Download the zipthemer file (.zip), and using a file explorer, move it to the "zipthemer" folder on your sd card.

5. open zipthemer again, click the "+theme" button, select the theme you want to apply (you can select more than one, or even only certain parts of one)

6. click "*output" button and pick the name you want for your update file (or accept the default). Leave the "-update.zip" at the end of the file name and "/sdcard/" at the beginning so it will be in your sdcard root directory and easier to find when you go to flash it.

7. click "build it!", it will ask you if you want to create a backup file, I usually do just in case so I don't have to re-flash the entire ROM to undo my changes if I want to.

8. Exit zipthemer, reboot to recovery, flash your new zip file, reboot system, enjoy!

more notes:

a. as always, it's a pretty good idea to run a nandroid anytime you play with your system (this is a do as I say, not as I do kinda statement)

b. A lot of these type of themes where some system files are modified or system apps are modified, it's good to do a wipe dalvik/cache

c. if you update your ROM to a new nightly/RC/stable, re-build the zipthemer file. It's likely that this isn't necessary, but unless you know just what the CM team changed it's probably a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samsungepicgeek:
wait can I just flash the zip or do I have to do the zipthemer thing( which i have no idea how to use)?? And also is this zip only for the galaxy nexus or for any CM9 phone .( I'm on Samsung epic 4g)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
You have to do the zipthemer thing, but that's the beauty of it! Because you are using zipthemer, it doesn't matter which CM nightly/RC/stable you're on, zipthemer pulls from the files on your phone and makes an update file for you! And it's really easy to use.

Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily transfer across devices. And in the case of the Epic 4g, it doesn't. The image files are different sizes. I have downloaded the CM9 files for the Epic 4G/4G Touch and built a zipthemer file for it though (with the exception of the wimax icons, if you use wimax let me know. I don't know if the epic 4G is even wimax capable). I'll post it in the Epic 4G forums.

Also going to post a quick zipthemer tutorial after this post. (added them to the OP)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkaznboi:
:mad:Hello guys, i have a Gnex and i'm using aokp m4+Franco r97. i have one problem. my t9 dialer always force closes,it force closes around 5-7 times a day. i've tried to disable the t9 mode but nothing improves. please help!!:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Same here. Always locks up when randomly entering digits. I have to set back to force close to get out of it.

I've posted this in the Themes and Apps thread.

Let me ask a question. Do you use the exchange email app?

I do and I'm wondering if its getting hung up there... kinda how it pauses when entering an email address while it connects and searches through exchange contacts.

I've thought about just importing my corporate contacts into my personal Gmail and seeing if that fixes it.

It happens all the time and is super annoying but I haven't heard anything about it before I posted my thread... now you. So lets try to figure out the cause.

I've been on a ton of roms and it does it right out of a fresh install. I've used MIUI dialer and other T9 diapers with my same setup with no problem until the ICS T9 dialer.

I've also noticed my BlueAnt Q2 won't speak names from my corporate contacts, just the number; where it announced names just fine from my Gmail account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skottema:
I am running Codename Android and not running exchange and I also have issues with the dialer freezing. Fortunately if I hold the 'back' button it will close the dialer and then it will work. Let me know if you get it fixed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xchatter:
I have the same issue with FCs. And to add more, i get lag when i press dial on some contact(it actually dials after about 5 secs).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skottema:
I went into the speaker settings and then T9 settings. I switched to sort by name first (instead of number) and have yet to have a slow down since switching. Let's hope it stays that way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diggz976:
Don't know why...don't care but skottema's solution seems to have fixed mine. BUENO!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Features (quoted directly from DuMOHsmol's Rage Kernel original post here ) :
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
A bit background:

I use FXP CM7 rom for my mini pro since release 049 and like it very much. One thing that made me keep switching back to stock rom was the high battery drain, because in my daily activities electric plug is not always readily available, so battery life is critical for me.

In fxp 052 I got a bit desperate and trying to use custom kernel based on stock from bbooff here, with fxp rom. The battery life is excellent, just like stock rom, but I encountered 2 problems: touchscreen sometimes become unresponsive and wifi was not working (even if I replaced wifi modules with stock).

Finally, I decide to learn how to compile android kernel, and I found that it is quite similar with compiling linux kernel, which I've frequently done to my computer and laptop.

So, I compiled kernels from 3 sources and compare the battery life in my mini pro. They are from DoomLord's official SE source, DuMOHsmol's Rage kernel source, and krizky82's X Kernel source. I also recompiled kernel from FXP kernel source using stock semc_mango_defconfig, to see if battery life is better. The conclusion is that best battery life is achieved using stock and Rage Kernel, and I've been using FXP with rage kernel since release 102 and haven't considered going back to stock rom again.

I posted in Rage Kernel thread to thank DuMOHsmol, and since then there's 3 xda members that ask me to share this kernel, so I make this thread.

I hope this could help those who want to use FXP CM7 and need a battery life that's close to what stock rom offer.

Note:

As of release 114/115, FXP kernel also has better power management and quite a good battery life. The power consumption difference between this rage kernel and fxp kernel is not as much as it used to be before. In case of broken features or any problem caused by using this kernel in FXP cm7 rom, then please consider using FXP kernel instead.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanglz0904:
hi ,after flash your kernel ,my device have a boot-loop,please check it ,thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Okay, I'll check it. I might zip the wrong file. What is your device? I assume it is mini / st15? Because kernel for mini pro works fine in my mango. I'll check and if needed I will re-compile it.

Edit:

I think the problem was I incidentally used wrong ramdisk for mini kernel.

I have made a new kernel for mini, but it needs testing first. So, if anyone's willing to test it, please send me a PM. Thank you...

Edit:

Fixed. Link for mini updated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
Thank you!!

Im using cyanogen fxp 111

Only need flash the kernel?

Or need make a full wipe?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
You are using mini pro, right? I'm still fixing kernel for mini.

You don't need to do a full wipe, just wipe the cache partition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
Yes im using the mini pro

Thanks!:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prince.raja:
thanks a lot.even i was switching back to stock because of the battery drain ..will try this on my mini pro today
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanglz0904:
i am using fxp111 on my st15i,thank you for your great work .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Mini kernel is fixed. Link is updated. Please test it and let me know if you encounter any more problem. Thank you for your feedback...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanglz0904:
hi ,greenAlgae ,i am sorry to tell that i encountered the same problems with using your fixed kernel ,it may not the ramdisk,but the drivers,i think .

by the way ,some of us using the rage kernel have encountered the same problem,they aslo "complained:)" the boot-loop ,so i think the problem is kernel itself not the the ramdisk ,i am very happy if you will fix it ,thank you much .respected your work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wucinac:
what is the problem?

im install fixed kernel and everithing working.

no bootlop or error during boot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Is there any error when you flash it using fastboot? Did you get to boot logo only or you get to cyanogen boot animation when the phone bootloop?

Thank you wucinac. It seems there's some kind of inconsistencies here. Hopefully it can be worked out, else i would have to pull out the kernel for mini altogether.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gqcJYb3UN8xSIWNUy2xX:
For st15i i have to use fastboot query with flag:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

P.S. Rage flash'ed without any problems. Kudos to developer, many thanks for merging battery save and direct call record!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
oh great! Let's test!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
So, it does work for mini after all, right? :)

All credits goes to original devs. It was DuMOHsmol who added the features, so your kudos goes to him :)

Yes sir, please test it and kindly let me know how it goes :) . Any feedbacks - even negative ones - will be much appreciated :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
So long time ago i using stock rom, and rage kernel are the best, i think that are the best kernel :)

For stock neves restart the phone on overclock , i dont back to stock rom never thanks!!:)

Sorry for my bad inglish
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Well, overclocking is the feature that I very rarely use. Because I use this kernel for better battery life, and overclocking might just negated that ;)

But I'm glad that it works for you :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] isoladisegnata:
I have installed your kernel on my sk17i .. with FXP 111, but overclocking is set to 1024?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Use No-frills CPU Control app. You can set maximum and minimum cpu frequency there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
So after just one night of testing analyzing betterbattertystats-log:

the "msm-i2c" count is definitively very very low in comparison to the fop kernel done. But on the other hand "PowerManagementService" had 92%. This is a bit high.

AND the drain still was 10% within 3 hours.

BUT this was just after I calibrated... so let's wait what append after few carging cycles. as usual then it really works and we also get better statistic results.

SO first thing is, this kernel really is working differently. Now collecting stats...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Thank you for your extensive feedback :). I myself do not have betterbatterystats, so unforfunately I can't confirm your findings.

But I agree that it is working differently.

As a comparison, using fxp kernel my battery usually drains about 10-12% overnight in flightmode, using rage kernel it is about 2-4%. That suggests lower idle power consumption.

And in my daily activities, with same usage pattern, after full charge in the morning fxp kernel usually drain about 40% battery at about 2pm, using rage kernel it drain about 25%.

Of course it is very relative and cannot be taken for granted, but that's what I experience.

I currently using Battery Monitor Widget to monitor battery consumption, and it too suggest lower battery consumption using rage kernel.

I am waiting for more result of your test Snoopo. Thank you very much...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Thank you for your effort to 'play' around with the kernels.

I can recommend you to use betterbatterystats for accurate usage analysis. As well read the large howto. As I am writing mobile it's quite difficult for me to link it but the app is in android app development forum here on xda ;)

sent with my mini pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Found it! It's in here. And you're right, it's an interesting read & the howto is very informative. Thank you Snoopo :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prince.raja:
Using for more than a day

No force closes...fully compatible with cm7

Just 4% drain for 8 hours yesterday night in idle mode.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
The battery consum are the same :(

I need calibrate the battery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wucinac:
Yes. Tray to calibrate battery.

Sent from my Mini
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
AFAIK Battery consumption is not solely affected by the kernel only. It is also determined by other factors such as apps/mods/tweaks you install, usage pattern, and condition like network signal strength, 2g/3g, overclocking etc.

I recommend you read BetterBatteryStats thread here, it is a good read.

Here I quote chamonix, author of the app, in the OP of the thread:

So, I think actually it is sleep mode that makes the most different because that's what the phone does most. If you use your phone a lot or you have many partial wakelocks, then battery life wouldn't be much of a difference with other kernel. Especially when you're doing something like gaming, power consumption will be much the same with other kernels when the cpu goes full throttle. And it would be worse if you overclock it ;)

Try to do this:

- Calibrate the battery.

- Install BetterBatteryStats from the link above and analyze your power usage

You can also:

- Install Battery Monitor Widget from Google Play to monitor power usage. My sk17i usually consume about 2-5 mAh in idle, 80-100 mAh when screen is on, and goes up to more than 200 mAh when I'm recording video or playing 3d game.

- Install CPU Memory Monitor (or just run 'top' command in terminal emulator) to see if there's any process taking excessive cpu usage.

Hopefully it helps.

P.S I think I will add this info to OP, to avoid confusion and misunderstanding about battery drain and what I'm trying to achieve here :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Hi. I have a first comparison, and it's great :)

One picture was a data collection when using the original fxp kernel and one picture is taken by using rage-fxp one :)

old:

new:

just mention the graph in the time between 23:00 and 8:00. Other things sind just other test (on the newer one I just listened to music and you see this sucks battery.

but on 23:00 to 8:00 I slept and just set my phone to data off (so not really flight mode, telephone signal was still on).

but in this time battery only drained 2-3 percent in comparison to this kernel.

great :)

Pleas communicate that to fxp to help them fixing it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Thanks for the comparison Snoopo :). I'm still 'playing' with the source as you called it ;). Making diff file and see what might cause the difference in power usage.

I think it's something in acpuclock-7x30.c file in the source code. I do intend to communicate with fxp team, but I want to have more info first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
btw: I just moddeed my cm7 to look like cm9 so don't be confused. :D

and btw-2: this kernel also works on rls 112 :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iceeyes91:
This Kernel ist just what I have been looking for. With this kernel cm7.2 is finally ready for daily usage. I used to stick with the stock rom as the battery drain with cyanogen mod was just to high.

Thanks you very much :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edwarddd:
Thanks

the google maps drain my battery :)

I frozen and the battery life are better

1% per 6-7 minutes on wifi and 50% of brightness

And 1-2% or 3% per hour when the screen are off!!

On the original kernel of fxp

1% per 3-2 mins on wifi

And 3-6% per hour with the screen off

Thanks!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Thank you for confirming that it works in fxp112. I tried to download it but failed. Will try again later.

That is just what I mean to

do, help others that needs better battery life. And Indirectly helping fxp team gaining more users :)

Glad that you find the solution :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
I'm generally sceptical of claims like "max performance, max battery, max beauty" and various other plaster all over Development sections, either about ROMS or kernels, but this kernel actually works as advertised. It provides better battery life and its noticable without even trying to spot the difference.

Thanks for the work, greenAlgae.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
I actually didn't mean to 'advertise' it ;), merely stating my personal experience and share it to others. I'm glad that you find it useful. You're welcome :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] QeneX:
This kernel is maybe great, but the display isn't fixed as in FXP kernel --> bottom of screen when in landscape mode (home button on right) is unresponsive. Please fix it as soon as possible. And phone often isn't booting, it's trying to boot 2-6 times and than boots (record - on original rage kernel it was 10 minutes rebooting, but after that it booted - so 20 times? :D)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Ahi Quenex. I can not confirm your issue(s) on my mini pro.

Are you using mini or mini pro?

sent with my mini pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] QeneX:
Mini - Smultron.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
That is a known issue. When rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, the bottom of the screen is unresponsive, and sliding up notification bar is frequently failed. I don't think it's kernel-related, because FXP kernel and kernel re-compiled from stock source behaves the same. Or is it fixed in release 112? I tried to download FXP112 3 times now, but always failed.

Also, it seems you are experiencing same problem as zhanglz0904 posted before.

What FXP release are you using? If you are using FXP112, can you attach or upload the boot.img from FXP so I can download and look into it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
I've had same unresponsivness with FXP builds for as long as I can remember, and I just tried the kernel from 112. Same deal.

I've uploaded the 112 kernel if you wanna try it for yourself http://www.mediafire.com/?m1tdb25pqrw0kd9
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Yup, and we have to touch back button to slide notification up. I already get used to it anyway :D.

Thank you for the kernel sulkie :). It's for sk17i right? uploaded.to AND my carrier just give me hard time downloading the rom ;). 3 time it says not available, and when available it stops downloading at about 50-60%, and this too happened 3 times :(

Anybody can give me 112 kernel for mini/st15i?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Yeah, it's for sk17i. I can get you for Mini as well in a minute or so.

When the file is under 100mb on uploaded.to you can use rapid8.com to download it at much higher speeds. Not sure how it all works.

Edit: 112 kernel for mini http://www.mediafire.com/?4026vii89dlteww
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Well, that's fast :). Thanks.

I'll look into it and see if there's any change in the image.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] QeneX:
Touchscreen was fixed in FXP 107 or earlier, I think. I've just tried FXP and Rage kernel and in FXP kernel it's 100% fixed!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Well then, I'll see what I can do.

Can't promise anything yet though. I don't see any change/commit in fxp kernel repo at github for the last 2 months, so i don't know what they change in the kernel to make it work.
