[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
kernel is 2.6.32.56-cm7-faux123-049

I don't really care what I use as long as it doesn't damage my hardware of affect stability. and if better battery that would be nice

phone has been on battery I started with it 100% for 1 hour 7 minutes and it reads 95% battery I've been using it sort of frequently testing different things like camera, video playback, youtube setting how I want it downloading apps, music stuff like that nothing hard on it. but if it's reading it correctly... geez thats insanely good.

And Quadrant scored 2700... lol I was reading some kernels overclock the cpu I'm guessing this one does that? or its just that good? I have no clue I checked and it said 1017mhz so 1ghz witch is stock but I don't know if this throttles down or something like that.. again I'm not experienced at this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
If you don't mind any weird reading like sometimes it'll show up that you have 95% then 82% then 5 minutes later after the phone is idle it might be up or down by 15% from the last reading lol... I always change the kernel after I flash cause I hate the funky battery, so I'm not sure which kernel it is to be exact, I personally never overclock the phone. If anything I underclock it lol. The phone will do everything it needs to that I need at 800 MHz. Other then that you seem to be doing good for no knowledge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] korny647:
I was using the faux DS kernel at first, and my battery lasted three days!

but the funky battery reading's eventually made me switch to the faux CM kernel.

when i leave the house i want to k now exactly how much battery life i have!~

so i switched the kernel to this one...

http://faux.eth0.it/P999-CM-Kernel-048r.zip

and the battery readings have been spot on.! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
Battery readings havnt been crazy atleast they been solid on the readings not sure if accurate I have not charged my phone yet and it's at 86% right now battery is being amazing if this readings are accurate .

I don't plan to overclock at all but I don't know if this kernel already has an overclock set >.< but this has been amazingly stable so far and idk if it matters I uninstalled wifi calling
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I guarantee they aren't accurate lol if you don't mind a reboot I bet it'll show something very different! Unless you aren't really using your phone anymore! If I use my phone only for texting or tiny things it'll last 30 hours easily under clocked at 800ish MHz! Sorry if this barely makes sense I'm kinda buzzin' from the Friday happy hour :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
Well that's gay rebooted and it went down to 69% then up to 70% either way this is really good considering my phone has been on for 9 hours 34 minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
well Multimdia messages aren't working :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Lol nice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
I switched to this kernel and it fixed a few minor bugs too I would like to know wich kernel is this and what are the voltage and clock settings ^^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
that Kernel drained my battery insanely fast. I'm trying the trinity kernel now the low power consumption one that cpu is set to 1100mhz the other one is set at 1500mhz and I don't want to stresss the cpu and I want my battery life
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gameler:
I like Bionix the best so far, feels the cleanest and smoothest. But thats just my personal opinion. Keeping it until ICS is fixed to the best possible point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesterpb:
I was on CM7 for a few months and had a host of different problems. Just installed Weapon last night. Slick so far, but too early to tell for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
^

I was on weapon for quite a while and did enjoy it, but I feel Bionix is snappier and am sticking with it till ICS is in better shape.

Never tried CM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
for a feature rich, tweakers, themers ultimate experience id say CM7 all the way. For the fastest rom id say bionic or EB 2.3.3. for the stablest want-EVERTHING-to-work, convenient quick panel toggles and unmatched battery life (imho) i ALWAYS rock the weapon G2x. theres my 2 cents
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
CM7. It just has far too many features for me to leave it. The devs did wonders on Weapon and Bionix, but there's only so much they can do to the mess up that LG did. Thus, it's CM7 for me.

But to each his own of course.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesterpb:
What's the word on the "WeaponG2x A New Clip 2.3.3"? Just installed Weapon last night and wonder what benefit this adds. Also, Mr. Clown's summary page lists the new clip as a Kernel, but it reads like a Rom. Could someone clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Stopfakn:
Cm7 best gingerbread from I ever flashed. More stable more ways to personalize it cjyst amazing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] id3alistic:
Weapon has been the most stable for me. However every once in awhile I still get that screen of death. No biggie though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
ive rocked weapon for months straight with no problems whatsoever nothing broken. then added the new clip. Honestly didnt notice any huge differences probably because everything was already working superb. but ive read great things, i believe there are a couple of tweaks in there as well not available in the Stock Weapon rom. and yes the new clip is just a mod so weapon needs to already be installed as a base rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
Just wondering what is the common battery life with most of these roms I am trying to get the best battery possible atm I use the internet a lot I mainly use pandora for music.

Considering buying the 3500mah battery on ebay its going for 8 bucks thats cheap as heck

I am currently using latest build of Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 with trinity Kernel that runs at 1.1ghz Suposedly it's undervolted and should have great battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] korny647:
There are way too many factors to say what a common battery life is!

Everyone's phone is going to be different.

Different Rom's, apps, running apps and tasks, different kernals. Voltage settings. Phone settings, Brightness, and most importantly battery health.

No two phone's are ever going to perform the same with so many different factors.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
I'm curious about something though. I'm using the trinity kernel and hellfire phoenix 2.1.

on CM settings there is the cpu frequency settings I've I underclock it to around 800mhz is it also undervolting it? so I would get better battery life? Also my main use is pandora I can have it running for hours listening to music does the cpu run at it's max frequency when this is running or does it go lower?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Love weapon plus new clip. There was a big difference for me with GPS lock after new clip. I use my phone for business and a rock stable rom that works all the time is a must for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
+1 on this. it was/ is a must for me too. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfarlik:
So the 9.4.2.21 update was pushed to my tablet yesterday and it hosed everything. gapps crashes as soon as the tablet boots. I have not unlocked the bootloader (If I had done that first and put CWM on this wouldn't even be an issue THANKS ASUS!) obviously lost root with the update so tried to Voodoo OTA keeper and it was unable to restore root. So I figured it was factory reset time that should clear up whatever is going on. Big mistake, now I cannot even get past the intro screen I get to the setting date/time and it crashes and will not let me past that. Since I factory reset ADB is no longer an option since USB debug is now off. I am able to get to the SD card as the PC is able to see it as a media player but that is about it. APX mode and recovery modes are accessible but useless as a far as I can tell. I have 9.4.2.15 downloaded...just have no way of reflashing. Am I screwed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darwichee:
Hi,

I'm basic user, i do know how to Flash Rom's/kernels and all that basic stuff, but i want to learn about these things:

# Radio

# Guvunor?

# OC and UC

# Baseband

I remeber i saw a thread telling all these things, but i can't find it anymore. I would be thankfull if you could tell me these things, or link me to a guide or something like that.

I have a question, sometimes i see ROM's that's overclocked, do i reduce the phones life when i Overclock?

Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
baseband is the radio. Dont flash a radio if you are a beginner

Governor controls the CPUs ramp up/down times and how the speed behaves

Overclock increases the max speed

undervolt lower the voltage used at different speed stages to get better battery life

Your best bet is to install any 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 custom ROM to try out, then flash a custom kernel. For a beginner you might want to try either Faux's tuna kernel or the minimalistic kernel. They have the least "hardcore" experimental stuff and tweaking

If you want to get into the extensive tweaking and tuning, the Glados kernel is easily the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Why not flash a radio if you're a beginner? It's the same method as flashing a ROM / Kernel unless you plan on fastbooting the radio.

Beginner kernel? not really... all the kernels for the most part work out of the box without any extra tweaking. I recommend Franco kernel.

If you're not going to encourage someone on flashing something then they will never learn how to do it. The best way to do it is to experience it, and it's honestly not that hard to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
But flashing a radio and something going wrong can actually hard brick the phone. Same with any type of firmware you flash. So telling someone who is asking all these sorts of questions to do something with dire consequences is not something I can do in good conscience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wingnut76:
Yep. Bad flash with a radio is a good way to **** your pants if you're a noob. Best to get a few soft bricks or I dunno wat happen under your belt before flashing a radio. For real.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
So in your saying, this is saying that if a person accepts a OTA coming from Google they should be paranoid whether or not they should apply the OTA update?

Because upon flashing the OTA update this will update their

1. ROM

2. Radio

3. Bootloader

Is that what you're implying? didn't think so. If one lives in a world filled with fears and paranoia, then they will never fully be comfortable with what they're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
1. Flashing radios, like said before, can seriously mess up your phone if something goes wrong; but also as already said, it's as easy as flashing a zip in recovery. Some newer ROMs even bundle with the newest radios.

2. Governors are in laymen terms different personality's for your CPU. In performance it caps the frequency whenever it can, as fast as it can (obviously for performance). In Conservative it will gradually increase and decrease in an attempt for greater battery life. There's a few others but as long as you're not in performance mode I haven't really seem a huge difference between them. Though if you're running a custom kernel they usually have a guide for what governors are used for what (since they usually customize them).

3. Unless you're creating your own kernel, you really won't gain much but Overclocking or Undervolting past whatever kernel you're using (save stock of course). I'd recommend sticking with a kernel (such as franco or leankernel) and just choosing a max/min frequency & gov that fits you. In the same vein, in response to your specific overclocking question, keep mind just because the kernel is overclocked doesn't mean you have to choose the highest frequency they give you. I'm running CM9 and leankernel and the kernel has a max freq of 1350, though using SetCPU I set the max frequency to 950 instead (also keep in mind that most ROMs have CPU settings built in, so SetCPU is mostly optional but it does have a nice widget)
[Epic 4G General] xxn0sflam3zxx:
Just thought I'd post a general poll to see what everyone prefers. It irks me that I can't use Beautiful Widgets due to the horrible battery life i've experienced.. well, at least on CM9.

So, what's your flavor?
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
I use beautiful Widgets on AOKP. And have no issues. I just set the refresh rate to 6 hours or more, and refresh on wake. I don't need to know up to the minute weather. I can look outside for that!
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I like the standard android analog clock. It doesn't hog any resources or data.
[Epic 4G General] czechpunk:
I've been using Beautiful Widgets since day one and have had no complaints. I've got mine set to 6 hours and refresh on wake and my battery life is decent on CM9.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
I use Weather+. Picked it up when it was the free app of the day on amazon.

[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Does anyone know if one x supports AES encryption on wifi? Cause when I'm at home connected to my router all I got was the psk encrypted. Ive tried and deleted the existing connection and set the ssd again still the same. :confused:
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
just changed my router to AES security and works fine.

perhaps your router uses a different AES standard. change to different encryption if still having problems. navigate to router homepage normally http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Thanks mate for confirming on that for me I'll go set up another router and give it a try :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
Since the release of ICS on our phone I'd been having the issue of Media Server eating up 50-60% of my battery at all times and none of my pictures, ringtones or music showing up in any of the stock google apps. I know a number of people were having the same problem. I assumed it was kernel issue (it still might be) but i wanted to figure out if it's user fixable. To figure out what the problem was I pulled every last audio file off my SD cards and re-added them one at a time.

The problem seems to be with the m4a scanner/decoder in the media server. m4as use a different algorithm than mp3s so the 2 file types are scanned/decoded separately. The problem seems to be in my case that the ringtone for the facebook app pop which resided on my internal SD was hanging the scanner and blocking all the other media files on both SDs. Other m4as were causing problems too, none of which seem to be corrupt or dysfunctional. It seems that m4as scan before mp3s and m4as are more prone to catastrophic failure so they are the biggest offender.

tl;dr

The fix:

Step 1: Remove all m4as from your sd cards to a folder on your desktop via usb storage; ringtones and all. I dont have any AAC files (itunes format) but they are m4as as well so I recommend removing them as well.

Step 2: Add them back one at a time, each time disconnecting from your computer and checking battery stats. If the file is ok you will see media server fall off the list within a minute. If media server hangs at 50% then that audio file is your culprit.

Step 3: If the offending file doesn't show itself, remove all audio files from your sd; mp3, wav, aiff, whatever. Use a mp3 repair app (I use http://www.triq.net/articles/mp3-validator-mac-os-x for mac, theres eleventy-seven of them for pc. I dont claim to know which is best) to check and repair them and re-add them one at a time in the same procedure as step 2. Hopefully it wont come to this.

If none of these steps work start checking other media files. Corrupt video or image files might cause the same problem as they are all scanned by the media server.

Hope this helps

Not pulling 1.8k songs from my phone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
No one told you that you have to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
That is definitely a WORKaround....LOL!!!

Think i will just stick to the GB ROM's for now. I have 26gb of AAC (m4a) music on my phone right now. I do appreciate you taking the time to figure this out!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
It took me about 3 hrs to get it working properly and most of that time was spent getting all the 20GB of music off my phone onto my computer. The troubleshooting aspect went pretty quick.

I have no empirical proof that the issue is caused only by m4as but i have an inkling that it is, just based on what i went through during the fix. So unless you only use m4a and aac audio files it actually is pretty easy. You can actually use the mp3 repair programs while the files are still on your phone to cut out a large portion of the initial time consuming dump.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] andeeroid:
Thanks for the tip, but this definitely isnt a fix btw for the record. And here is my little rant. Not towards anybody though. Just to google actually since there is no answer from them whatsoever regarding this issue.

Whatever media files you might have "mediaserver" thing shouldn't happen. We could be downloading some new ringtones and wallpapers that are "corrupted"...(how the hell are we supposed to know if the files aren't corrupted. And what the hell does it mean by corrupted? Was something supposed to really even care that files are so called corrupted? )

Does your 3 year old mp3 player drain battery by just having a corrupted music file?

Google should step into this and fix it....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I had the same issue, in fact I posted about it 2 days ago in the Q&A section trying to find a solution. In searching, and I did a lot of it, I'm sure I ran across your thread in a Google search and started doing what you suggested.

In doing that, and then checking to see if it would still run after reboot, even after having very little media left on my cards, that stupid media server would not stop running. So it got old pulling of little by little so I finally just took everything off and reformatted both my internal and external SD cards. Now I never see the Media Server running in the battery stats.

I've been slowly adding stuff back in, paying attention to the server and it doesn't show it running constantly anymore.

I know it was a corrupt file that ICS didn't like somewhere, a MP3 or ringtone...something it was scanning and getting stuck on.

It's nice having a clean SD card again. After many flashes and different ROM's, I had so much crap on there, who knows what it could of been. But it solved my problem; and thanks for the heads-up because I was at a loss as to why I was having this issue and others not! Very happy now :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idontknow-:
Did help on my phone.

Thanks alot! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cavey.co.uk:
Is there any way to get Media Server to ignore directories? I think I am having issues with it hitting a WebM file.

TBH, I don't know why I want it to scan my files. I keep them in a fairly organised way and would probably be fine if it never bothered to scan for them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anfrey:
add a blank file named ".nomedia" in whatever directory you wish it to ignore. all subdirectories will be excluded as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Endoroid:
What exactly does media server do, is it necessary to certain functions of ics, and could we just block it or remove it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
U resurrected an old thread why?..

MediaServer is the media scanner, you can remove, but your libraries wont be refreshed, there ARE apps online that can be used to replace, and offer 1-click scan, & scheduled scan. But as of official release, (for me anyways) this is a non-issue.

Plz don't resurrect old threads.. thx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jayb222:
If he had a question about the thread then there's no reason why he shouldn't all the question in it. What do you want him to do, start a new one?

Thanks for the media tip. I didn't even know this could be a problem. But know I know how to trouble shoot it if it occurs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Yes actually, he could have simply made a response in Q&A section, considering this is a very old post for a very old bug that has been long since fixed

And considering all his questions, although are pertaining to posts topic, could have been answered with a google search, or even the lazy way (Q&A) would probably yeild results quicker, expecially since the topic doesn't actually suggest the presence of his question?,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Endoroid:
because i followed a link from a different forum, i have previously googled this issue, a few months back, and asked in my devices forum and no one answered. There is no official ics for my device and it is still an issue for me. I found this link and asked a question. Isnt the point of forums to help others, also this thread isn't THAT old, and really, wouldn't you rather ppl post in an already existing thread rather than spamming the forum with multiple threads on the same topic, like they do in the GT2 forum, which is as annoying as ****.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frankie_p:
Same issue, still no fix...

Hi, I've been trying to find a fix for this issue and after reading all posts and doing several Google searches, I still have not found a satisfactory fix. Removing everything and putting it back one by one is a VERY time consuming work around, but no fix. Stopping the service and replacing it with 1-click or scheduled sync is also not a fix. I am using the latest 1.6 Paranoid Android ROM and this issue started all on its own without me doing any updates to the music or videos. Only changes are new photos and new or updated apps. I hope a proper fix is found sooner rather than later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
What worked for me was moving everything from the SD card, formatting it, moving everything back and rebooting. Hasn't run since and I've been checking on it for the past few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Endoroid:
Out of curiosity did you include .trash and lost.dir?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
It really is the only fix, and it works. I too started removing things one by one until I got fed up and completely reformatted both internal & external sd cards a few months back, and the issue never returned.

I had one of the Devs tell me it's always good practice when making a OS change, like GB to ICS to start with fresh reformatted cards; because you don't know what junk is left behind on the cards, that the new OS is not going to like. It works, you don't need to stop any services, and its worth the time.
