[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
I'm going to be repeating a few things already offered here, so please bear with me... If your goal is a Samsung Infuse with rooted UCLB3 do the following:

1 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

1a - Since you are already on UCLB3, you can probably skip the first Heimdall and go right to post #2 - this will get you "red" CWM which will allow you to load unsigned CWM zip packages. (Main reason to do the first step is to lay down a good partition table, install a clean rom, and flash the gingerbread bootloaders).

2 - Copy rooted UCLB3 rom to your internal SD Card (not the external one). Create a folder called "!ROM!" so that it shows up first in CWM and then copy roms and other install packages there.

2a - Here's Dman's rooted, deodexed, zipaligned UCLB3 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508619

2b - If you want the stock kernel, download and copy both files linked in the first post, otherwise just the first one.

2c - If you want to keep "red" CWM (recommended) and also have video and hdmi work, copy Entropy's latest kernel to your sdcard (PM me if you want a CWM package as there is no official CWM package as of yet). Otherwise, once rooted you will need to unzip the 7z linked here, copy zimage to your sdcard, download SGS Kernel Flasher from the market and use that app to flash the kernel. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24459243&postcount=448

3 - Next, power off phone and boot recovery using three finger technique (Vol+/Vol-/Power, release power when bottom lights go on, hold volume keys until you get red CWM).

3a - Do the following - wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced-wipe dalvik cache, back to main..mounts-format system

3b - From main menu, install zip, choose zip, pick your rom and flash

3c - If you have the Entropy MHL kernel, flash this next.

3d - When done, go back and reboot

4 - Let the phone boot and then let sit for 5 min or so, then go through the initial setup process

4a - Open apps drawer, run SuperUser and update binaries - this will also confirm that you have root.

4b - Open Google market, upgrade to Play, download any utility apps you need

4c - If you are going back to the stock kernel, download SGS Kernel, copy zimage to your sdcard, and flash (note that if you do this you will lose the ability to flash other custom roms, and would have to redo qkster's CWM Heimdall)

5 - Reboot and enjoy.

If you want to explore further, here is a page with other roms listed (note that some of the info applies to froyo and some to non-ATT Infuses so read with care):

Took me months of reading, but qkster is a good lead. Overloaded many times, so take a break and start fresh again. Be amazed at what u remember from previously.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Yep but well worth the reading.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CZ Eddie:
Thank you, Zen Arcade! And everyone.

I was missing the read of post #2 which included a Heimdall one-click flash of the non-secured Etropy kernel which included a CWM. I flashed that which then let me flash other ROM's and am currently on Zeus 6 with the ICS theme and loving it!

Never did figure out a way to root the factory 2.3.6 new version, but was able to flash the rooted version at one point.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Was trying to help you...but hey you got it now...:D :thumbup:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
cz,

that was the whole heimdall 1click idea. post #1 - rom and restore if needed.

post #2: cwm recovery to flash custom rom.

if you want root stock, dman has made a uclb3 base, deoxdex, rooted and zipaligned. you would flash that in cwm and then flash entropy newest kernel to give you everything.

that is how you would have a rooted stock uclb3...but why would you when there is vagabond..:D

Hey Guys,

sorry for creating a new thread but I am at a loss right now.

I followed the instructions in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233340

at the point (in step 2)

i got a problem! I started clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.2 (pretty sure about that)out of rom manager and did all above the mentioned point. step by step. but after flashing the bravo-recovery-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip, my display just went black. light on but black. sorry for my bad english - hope u guys know what I mean. ^^ no matter if I pressed the ok button or the P-OFF of my wildfire.

after taking out the battery I only was able to boot in recovery mod version 2.5.0.1

I thought i just go on with the next step -

but here i get the error: error while restoring /system/!

what can I do? I think the version of the recovery is the problem!? while making the nandroid backup no errors occurred!

please help me I need this nasty phone :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
When you are trying to create custom partitions, do not boot into recovery from ROM Manager. (ROM Manager uses Temporary ZIP recoveries which cannot be modded. I should have added this to that guide :/).

Power off your phone, start in HBoot, navigate to RECOVERY, and use this Clockworkmod to create Custom MTD partitions. For now, to get your phone in working order, just flash any ROM temporarily. Then try again. Use the same version of CWM to restore as you did when creating the backup.

Also, are you sure it is 2.5.0.2? AFAIK, there isn't a version like that.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Lol, maybe he means 5.0.2.0?

To OP, try flashing a PC49IMG.zip of Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.0, and try again.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfur:
thanks guys ;) got the same idea later on time. long night indeed.

Yes i meant this version sry - as mentioned, laaate night ^^ no power after 3 days of bootloops (because of supercharger script, LOVE IT!! and have to beat the odds)and I dont wonder - same thing today. fresh rom, got the gapps on it, V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.1 and then bootloop bootloop.

A few hours earlier, I intuitionally did as you wrote in the post above. BTW when the wildfire has about 300mb internal space - your mtd guide worked ain't it!? ^^

... so i flashed CM update-cm-7.2.0-RC1, via the installed CWM v2.5.0.1

everything fine until now because I do whole thing again. Your custom MTD Partition guide first, then installing update-cm-7.2.0-RC1 (is it possible to update to a stable version, when its finished, out from that?) or better a stable or nightly build? Lastly I try to supercharge my mobile again. The wildfire is definitly in need of this oom fixings. (I think the built-in kernel tweaks make my buzz unhappy...) THIS SCRIPT IS GREAT NEED NEED NEED haha.

\\edit:

Right now I try flashing clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 via the old version. Sometimes when I am in the recovery I get a black screen after selecting a menueitem. Then I press P-OFF and get back to the superior menue - it does not work this way everytime. Every second time I stuck on the black screen. Problems problems everywhere :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Good to know. Welcome to the Wildfire ;)

Thanks if I helped :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfur:
I am S-OFF but didn't wanted to update the recovery right now. getting impatient. So I did exactly the same as the last time (described above. black screens in recovery - or hopping to steps like "apply this zip?" even if i didn't selected one, then I press the P-OFF button and selected the zip.)

Somehow everything works -.-

Now I've my second try in CM 7.2 RC1

I doesn't rly have the heart to try the supercharger script again - want to prevent stucking in bootscreen. What should I do?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
Nandroid backup, run the script, if bootloop then restore (flashing the bravo-boot file after restore to get your partitions back as always). Thats what i did last time, and didn't try the script again. Too bored of bootloops.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfur:
yes, god save the nandroid backup!

Second try - suddenly everything worked fine for me, thanks to everyone ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
My advice: just don't EVER use ROM Manager, even if it does eventually support the Note. If you learn the button combo for CWM and how to use it manually to flash, you will never need ROM manager, will have much more control over flashing, and will be less likely to brick your device since you will be more knowledgeable about what you are doing (I hope).

Disable notifications and automatic updates, seems to have no effect after that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I haven't had it with Amazon Appstore but I've had it with random apps here and there. Generally something gets hung up in the app and keeps it running in the background. I've found that clearing the cache (and in some cases clearing data) will fix it.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Thanks

I cleared cache, uninstalled, and reinstalled fresh and that fixed it.

The app itself is much more responsive now, was really really laggy before so something was definitely off.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillerz:
Hi all,

First time poster here, so hello! I've searched the forums and google but could not find an answer to this question.

Is anyone running a Nexus S on 4.0.4 ICS seeing lots of CPU usage at the 1000MHz frequency?

My phone is a Nexus S (i9020)

Operator: 02 UK

OS: Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4

Not rooted.

My phone goes into a deep sleep fine and battery usage seems to be little in this state. However, the moment I turn on the screen and start 'using' the phone, I see a battery drop of at least 1% every 5 mins or so. I'm not doing anything taxing, either scrolling through the home screens, or opening browser to read a web page for a few mins.

Higest three battery users are reported as:

Screen 37%

Android System 15%

Browser 7%

CPU Spy reports the following:

1000 MHz - 25.11 (30%)

800 MHz - 7.35 (9%)

400 MHz -3.34 (4%)

200 MHz - 6.26 (7%)

100 MHz - 6.56 (8%)

Deep Sleep - 33.29 (40%)

Total time: 1h23m13s

From what I've read cpu usage shouldn't max out unless you're running something intensive i.e. it shouldn't be at the 1000MHz frequency, when just reading an already loaded page.

I'm able to go from 100% to 50% in about 2 hours, just using the browser (on wifi) to read webpages and nothing more.

When I first got the phone, a year ago, on Gingerbread, I'd be able to watch 1 hour of video, send calls and texts and make it from 8.30am to 5pm using around 40% battery. These days, I don't get close to that at all.

Noted to moderators: if this is posted in the wrong place or would be better suited in an existing thread, I'm sorry please let me know and I'll edit as required!

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Screen drains most the battery. If there is drain while it's off there would be some kind of wake lock preventing sleep. You likely don't have this since it seems your phone sleeps nicely, assuming you had the screen on for moat the time in that screenshot.

The frequencies you show seem a little skewed to 1000mhz for web browsing. What cpu governor are you using, and what settings? I usually get around 40-40 between highest and lowest frequency with ondemand, 20% or less for the intermediate frequencies. This is while web browsing most of the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillerz:
I understand the screen drains the most battery, but I feel there is an underlying issue since light usage (like reading) can drain 50% in 2 hours, whereas before I could watch 1 hour video and lose about 10%.

I'm not sure what you mean by CPU governor and settings. I'm running the stock ICS 4.0.4 (got the OTA only a few days ago). I agree it seems skewed. It seems to use the 1000MHz frequency pretty much all the time the screen is on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
First off, welcome to XDA!

The fact that you're not rooted + stock could only mean that there is probably a background app running while your actively using your phone. Have you checked into Settings > Apps > Running and noticed anything peculiar? For a fact, based on everything I'm reading here there is no way your phone should be at 1000 MHz for 30% of the time. At most for my usage, my phone is in the 1000 MHz state < 10% of the time.

If all else fails, you could always try doing a factory reset and seeing if the problem persists. If not then you can install your important apps one by one to find a culprit.

You could also try out this nify tool: BetterBatteryStats to give you more statistics as to what is eating your battery.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
10 percent drain while watching a video is hard to believe.

That would equal 10hrs to drain the battery with screen on watching a video. Which is not happening.

Your battery drain now sounds normal. Maybe in the past it was not reporting it correctly or you're simply mistaken somehow.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
The average battery should last along the lines of 4 - 5 hours worth of screen on time. Whether this is playing a game or browsing around hasn't made more than that much difference for me. 1% every 5 minutes would give you ~8 hours of screen on time, a feat very few (aLNG, looking at you) have been able to do without an extended battery. Anything more than this is not going to happen while maintaining a cell signal and watching videos. You may have been exaggerating the time on battery in the past.

Go to Settings --> Developer options --> Show CPU usage and tick it. Leave the phone sitting there with the screen on for a bit and let me know what the top CPU users are.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkbert2:
Which settings are the best for battery lfe? I have stock everything.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillerz:
The list of things using the CPU changes quite often, here's the list of the ones that are at the top of the list for a while (I've also attached a screenshot):

system_server

com.android.systemui

surfaceflinger

com.jim2

kworker/u:1

kworker/0:0

dhd_dpc

wpa_supplicant

UPDATE:

7h 48m 34s on battery

Voice calls: 1h 39m (screen is off for most of the call duration)

Screen on: 1h 23m

Used browser and xda app for less than 5 mins each.

Haven't done much else with the phone and I'm on 44% battery (from full charge).

CPU Spy (measuring whilst phone was charging overnight, so deep sleep is high):

Total CPU time = 13h26m

1000 MHz = 40 mins (5%)

800 MHz = 17 mins (2%)

400 MHz = 12 mins (1%)

200 MHz = 26 mins (3%)

100 MHz = 56 mins (7%)

Deep Sleep = 10h52m (80%)

hi,

I can confirm chillerz's notice. My experience's similar. Last week I upgraded my (non routed) i9023 from GB via OTA (before the update I did a hardreset). My phone became a cityphone:mad: I always have to keep a charger in my pocket and looking for power connectors.. with GB I could use my phone at least 2 days but now I'm happy if I can survive my workday.. my best was 13h - in that case Android OS battery usage was 61%.. I still haven't try to use the music player.. but I don't see any sense to it.. I'm also interested in a thread which could help me out and I've found my self here.. what do you recommend? what to do? :) replacing my 7 months old phone?? I've jus loved my nexus and here I'm.. It won't be a good business strategy in long term..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bende_:
great news, I will try tonight and share the result!

thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
The latest usage results seem good and processes also seem standard. Phone calls tend to use a fair bit of battery, keeping and transmitting a constant signal, powering speakers, keeping the entire phone awake and so on. I wouldn't put it above the screen being on, so you should be able to squeeze another ~30 minutes before 44% in normal use but this depends on too many factors to list anyway and bad reception can make it all the more difficult to figure out.

Also, while making calls don't be surprised if the CPU does decide it needs to ramp up to a higher frequency (ondemand likes 1000mhz) but i havn't put this to the test. This could skew the results as in the OP.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bende_:
hello futangclan,

since your solution the battery usage "normalized" 26h/17%. This workaround would be a great tip on a welcome srceen at the first boot of ICS :)

before the fully discharging battery I noticed the battery usage of Android OS decreased from 60 to 19%.. I'm thinking about whether the ICS does something "maintenance" in the background after the OTA upgrade the first days or not..
