Hey guys, I don't know if or how many times this

question has been asked, but is it possible for any

awesome developers out there to make a port of TouchWiz?

If not could someone please tell me the implications?

Thanks guys.:)
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
I don't know, guys who have an htc hate samsung XD jk

I haven't seen any rom based on touchwiz, I think that is very hard to port...like is hard to port sense on non htc devices...

but I think someone else could tell you more :)
[HTC Sensation] AntwanL:
Funny, I have touchwiz and want a sense port.
[HTC Sensation] ddizzy81:
That's how it is...when I had a galaxy s device I wanted sense so bad...now that I have sense i want touchwiz....well not as bad..cause I love sense but I'd like to have touchwiz for a while lol

TouchWiz on HTC? Travesty!

But that would be cool to have just to joke with friends with galaxies.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
just search for TouchWiz Launcher and use that.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Why bother?, if you want touchwiz, buy a Samsung phone

Sense is better looking than touchwiz anyway IMO
[HTC Sensation] dmcb123:
I'd say its possible you would just have to convince a dev that it would be worth it :P
[HTC Sensation] AntwanL:
I will admit I like TW features like swipe to call in mms which the S3 is improving on. But Sense is a much more visually appealing and "classier" setup in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] Worbit Jiminage:
I like sense, but it always has too much eye candy

and TouchWiz looks like a more polished, lighter

launcher.

Anyways, could someone at least tell me how to get

started on porting the it? Who knows, I might have a bit of luck

with it :D

Thanks guys.

Easiest way to get the touchwiz look would be to design a touchwiz theme for AOSP and make the launcher work. Either way, touchwiz looks childish to me.
[HTC Sensation] laxin:
i actually like touchwiz more than sense, it might not look better than sense but it is hell a lot faster than sense
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Agreed, HTC ***ked it up with all of its social integrations and epicly useless bloatware. Just running cyanogenmod gives me much better quadrant scores than on HTC sense.
[HTC Sensation] CactusProtist:
It's nothing close to CyanogenMod... CyanogenMod is pure stock Android. TouchWiz is Samsung's UI overlay and associated apps.

Most 'normal' consumers don't care or let alone know about Quadrant scores. In comparison, Social integration is probably one the most important functions of a smartphone these days that a company or network can actually use to differentiate.

But that is mainly the only reason move from one smartphone to another because it is faster.

Higher quadrant score doesn't mean faster. It's a rather useless number.

i don't know if this is normal of not - when i use google play (downloaded from play store) and the album cover pic doesn't change. if it switch between artists (different "folder") it will change, but if i have 1 artist with like multiple albums it won't change album picture. and yes i'm sure the song has an album art attached

refer to sig for my phone specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Yes, it is normal. This means, that the music files (MP3, M4A, 3GP, WMA etc. ) have not got the albumart saved in the binary...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mykroft4:
You can add or edit album art for your music on the Google Play Music "play.google.com/music/listen". There is a small arrow to the right of each album and track that will bring up a pop-up menu when clicked on. Just select edit, change album art, and upload your new art.

I have noticed that sometimes the album art is slow to update when I'm listening to music and my phone is getting a week signal. It may take 20 seconds or more to update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:
again, i'm not trying to add or edit. there already is album art on each individual song. the problem is google play is not updating and changing when there are different albums in like 1 artist

Browse Play Store for "Album Art Grabber", run the app, in the interface choice "clear", yes, "clear", it will clear old album art database of the Google Play Music, then start Google Play Music, it will show new album art of the songs.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
In general, the battery is very good on the Galaxy S.

But, I have been having a strange battery problem since CM7:

The phone would suddenly heat up (near the upper back portion of the phone; near the camera) and the battery would drain very fast.

Currently running CM9, 20120330-NIGHTLY-galaxymtd, stock kernel.

Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Radio (baseband): I9000XXJVK

CM version: 9-20120330-NIGHTLY-galaxymtd

CM Download url: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd

Gapps version: gapps-ics-20120317-signed

Did you--

wipe: No

restore with titanium backup: No

reboot after having the issue: Yes (1st screenshot, rebooted, 2nd screenshot)

Are you using--

a task killer: No

a non-stock kernel: No (Stock)

CMSettings/Performance settings (other than stock): All Stock

other modifications: None

I am unable to consistently repeat this bug.

On average, it occurs once a week,

4th May 2012:

2nd pic:

A = Normal usage (you can see the gradient varies with higher/lower phone use)

B = Airplane Mode overnight

C = Normal usage

D = Strange super fast battery drain

From times provided, there is a 14% loss in battery in 37mins 38secs, which gives a battery drain of 22.3% per hour.

The phone would last less than 4.5 hours.

You can see that the phone is not being used from the Screen On bar. The phone was simply sitting on my desk at work.

Normal usage drain would suggest less than 10% per hour.

***

Now, I have always assumed it was a CyanogenMod bug. But recently found out that a friend's Nexus S (stock everything; 4.0.4) also suffers from a bug with the same outcome. I have an inkling that the problem may be Android based, but I have no way to be sure.

Is this a CyanogenMod problem? Could it be an Android bug?

Is the problem isolated to the Galaxy S and Nexus S?

For a while, I thought that toggling Airplane Mode will halt the quick battery drain. However now, I'm pretty sure that it has no effect.

***

I have tried aLogcat, hoping to see one process getting hammered repeatedly but there doesnt seem to be anything suspicious happening.

Is there anything I can do to see what the problem might be?

Are there any other apps that could reveal the problem?

I haven't yet found an official bug post similar to this yet, so please post it if you find anything similar. (Posts like "OMGz batry porblems!" dont really count)

***

Lastly, before anyone blames me for downloading crappy apps which have caused the problem, I only have 35 installed apps, and I stick to the popular ones: AirDroid, aLogcat, Angry Birds Space, Barcode Scanner, BBC News, Chrome Beta, ES File Explorer, Facebook, GMail, Google Finance, Google Goggles, Google +, Instagram etc...

The less popular ones are: Ice Cream Sandwich Clock, Shareprice

Thanks! Hopefully, we can get this issue sorted. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Never heard of that problem before. You should look if it also appears on stock ROMs and on CM without any apps(only the one you really need. But I guess it's a hardware issue.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leegalaxy:
Is it just me or does your mobile network signal show a weak signal whenever your battery starts to die?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
It could be many things...but I'd be suspicious of apps... Facebook transfers a lot of data in the background for example and I'm not even sure they updated for ICS yet.

I'd try logging out of those apps before you get to that level of battery drain and see if it still happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrona:
Same Issue

I have the same issue. The phone is not in a case while charging. The metal plates that keep the SIM card and the SD card get very hot to the touch. Sometimes the battery percentage gets stuck, so I have to let it cool down before continuing to charge.

Does anyone a way to fix this?

I'm using a Galaxy S GT-I9000M running Cyanogenmod 9 Nightly 20120503.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
My situation occurs when it is NOT charging.

Any phone is bound to heat up when charging, its normal?

I'm more concerned with the 22% drop per hour.

You're suggesting that whenever "Mobile network signal" turns red it occurs?

I'll look out for it if/when it occur again.

Any ideas what it could be if it were the case?

Polling to connect too often?

(I assume "Mobile network signal" refers to 2G and 3g signals?)

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gabor977:
With 0503 my phone is draining only when I start using Internet. The draining is about one percent per minute (very fast).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
When using the phone you would expect the battery to drain faster.

Try to take a larger percentage loss over a longer period of time; it isnt very accurate using tiny numbers.

My phone was more or less idle for the duration of 22% loss per hour (you can see when the screen was on via the relevant bar).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evance1019:
I have the same problem too.

I don't know why. It's just have battery drain and hot with cm9 or miui.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leegalaxy:
Yes exactly. The phone begins polling the mobile 2/3G network and begins sucking power. I'm not sure how or why that would cause such drastic drops in battery but the graph seems to suggest that they are connected in some way. Data is known to drain power and if the system is repeatedly attempting to connect to mobile data while the signal is weak it may take more resources.

I could definitely be wrong here. Just an observation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
+1

the back side and the middle-top of the screen overheats like around 50° C while in 3g, even if i have it in the pocket.

i have UGKG3 modem bcz i need 850mhz band and it happens since CM 7.1

I admit it, i had the data sync on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
Well, data sync is supposed to be on.

Its the battery drain that isn't supposed to happen.

Any one know if this occurs on Stock Nexus S's and the Galaxy Nexus?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leegalaxy:
I was under the impression that your friend's nexus s had the same problem as per the OP...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroidBR:
Same thing here... Battery drains fast! v504 i9000

+1 on CM9 0506 battery drain (1% per minute)

I know for a fact my phone is not the problem cause this bug

does not

happen on Gingerbread ROMs paired with Semaphore Kernel.

I also have a pair of Anker 1,800mAh batteries, plus the original 1,500mAh Samsung one and they are all draining really fast on both HSDPA/3G and 2G networks. Under WiFi it drains a bit slower. About 1% every 5 - 8 minutes or so (with screen always on as well). I live in Brazil and I use TIM 3G+ as carrier.

By the way, my phone heats up A LOT while I'm using the browser or Facebook App internet without WiFi, just using the 3G network. But I've also noticed that Facebok app had almost 30% of battery usage. Since it's the app I use the most. It didn't use to be that way on GB ROMs. But after the recent Facebook updates I wouldn't be able to tell since I've been using ICS CM9 nightlys for over over 3 weeks now.

Every time I install a new nightly I make sure to wipe cache as well as dalvik cache. I do that procedure both before and after installing a new nightly ROM.

The only thing I changed is the launcher. I use APEX Pro 1.1.1 instead so I can backup my settings and desktop apps if something goes wrong and I happen to do a full wipe.

I'm running latest update-cm-9-20120506-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd-signed.zip with stock, default kernel. No Overclock or any other mods.

Other than that, I think this is the best ICS for my i9000. I experience no FC's and no Low Storage problems. The albums are not quadruplicating my photos like other ROMS and the compass works great on Google Maps. By the way, 3D gaming is just great with v504. Real Racing 2 runs nice and smooth on it.

Thanks for the great work Devs and sorry for making this too lengthy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
I can't really be sure. I haven't checked their battery stats at the time of the drain, so all I'm going on is that they agree with my description.

He'a a bit of a noob so I'm not sure if hes just agreeing for the sake of agreeing.

(I know... a noob with a nexus... )

***

Following from your comment about Mobile network signal polling. You would expect a toggling of Airplane mode to disrupt the battery drain, right?

I definitely toggled it during the fast drain... maybe toggled too quickly for the network to shut off :o

Will try it again, if/when the fast drain occurs again.

Heavy battery drain and heat up

Hi, same problem just started yesterday

using MIUI experience v5 and evrything was fine since phone rebooted automatically and now charging is very very slow, also getting heavy battery drain and heat up, 20% in an hour. After 4 hours of charging, it stays 30-40% and heat up much more then before. tried full wipe and reinstalling different Roms and kernels but same .... any help much appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
Does it happen with the data on,off, airplane mode...?

It usually corrects with a reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
I also hate that the screen isnt a sharp, vivid and bright than the samsung roms, even playing with voodoo colors if the rom have it thats why im sticking with stock gb jw4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
Have you tried the mDNIe Mode settings in:

System Settings > Advanced ?

CM9 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Samsung Stock

***********************************************

Anyway enough of the derailing...

For the people who get this fast drain issue:

1. Is your phone connected to Wifi when the fast drain occurs?

2. Are your Wifi settings set to Always Keep Wifi on during sleep?

Could you try setting Wifi to Never use wifi during Sleep?

System Settings > Wifi > Menu > Advanced Keep Wifi on during sleep = Never

And then report back! :D

Is it possible that Always using Wifi during sleep, even when you are not connected to a router, can cause the battery drain?

This is only a guess, but I'll run this little experiment too. Maybe we are getting somewhere?...

Thanks.

EDIT: I believe Google have inverted the wording on this. On 2.3 it mentions Wifi Sleep... and now its Keep Wifi ON during sleep.

I am suggesting turning it to "Never (increases data usage)"... [as opposed to Wifi Sleep = Never]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
I have the keep the wifi on setting but im pretty sure i turn it off when im out my house-job.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobydeek:
@Gildegan... and you definitely get high drainage when Wifi is turned off ? Any screenshots? or % data you can provide?

Came across the first thread that mentions my hypothesis:

http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/1419-wifi-connection-always-on-battery-drain/

Negatives:

- Its about Blackberries

- One thread out of many

Key comments:

"As long as it is connected and not constantly searching it will not drain your battery..."

"Wifi scans every 2 minutes and for a duration of 15-30 seconds I believe. Even just having mine on, leaving the house, driving down the road 5-10 minutes, my battery is already at 95-98% just from forgetting to shut of wifi"

*********************

Not sure what to think since there are SO MANY threads around that recommend you to Never let wifi sleep.

But according to the above, If Wifi is On, yet you are not connected to any Wifi network, then your phone will continue to poll and hammer your battery.

Anyway I'll continue to let Wifi sleep when the phone sleeps and see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
Wifi isnt the issue here, bcz it happens when i have it in my pocket with 3g data enabled (wifi off). Also, it get hotter when im using the phone, even with no data usage, ithink its the screen trying to keep the brightness level bcz in CM have the autobrigthness off snd the level arround 50% bright, i dont know if its thats a issue or its just me thinking it is and its another cause.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gildegan:
I've just instaled back to jvu and flashed cm9 rom today with kg3 modem and im amazed.

The autobrightness works very well even without changing any settings, the colors are correct and i don get the heat up at all.

What i do just was wipe data - cache - dalvik with each thing i flashed (rom, gapps, modem), im keepinh the stock kernel btw

Hope it helps

[Galaxy S I9000 General] anil76:
I am facing the similar issue. Phone heating up on randomly and then battery draining rapidly.

I have been installing the latest CM9 nightly quite regularly hoping that this issue would be resolved but has not seen any improvement. Yday night , my battery went from about 80 % to 39% in 6-7 hour with wifi and auto synch off. . In wifi mode this problem is regularly seen.

Changing kernels did not help (have tried stock kernel, midnight and semaphore).

I faced the similar issue with stock 2.3.3 , I even got my motherboard replaced (as it was under warranty ) but that did not fix the issue. However I did not see this issue with 2.3.6 and some of the old CM9 nightly. If I remember correctly then it worked quite well around May 10 time frame.

Hey, hoping someone here can help me with this... I'm at a loss to explain the issue.

My battery is draining in around 6 hours when I am doing absolutely nothing with my phone.

Battery stats show Screen using 40%, next closest thing is around 8%.

The screen is OFF hte entire time as I have been home sick from work, no calls, a couple of texts which I replied to. By and large the phone has been sitting there doing nothing, screen off. It was fully charged @ 5pm. It is now 11pm and at 15% after sending/receiving two texts and doing nothing else.

I have tried different ROMs

Currently on CM9 after flashing XXJVU then JW5.

Tried it on CM7

Tried it on stock XXJVU

Same issue on all ROMs.

Signal is ok, not so week. I have data off because it is connected to wifi, but I've noticed the issue over the last week or so regardless of the radio in use.

Any ideas?

Hi there. I updated recently to ICS and I always thought that Android 4.0.3 would have enabled the second core of the CPU but I just noticed through System Tuner that the second CPU is set "offline".. Furthermore the max freq is 1180MhZ.. I actually have a normal Sensation but I used the stock OTA update for the XE so..shouldn't it be 1500MhZ the max freq?

Anybody can enlight me on these matters?! :confused:

Sent from my brain using my psyonic powers
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
1. Second CPU only comes online if the system is under stress otherwise it is a waste of battery life to have it on all the time

2. The kernel has a line of code which detects the exact phone (sensation or xe) you are using and will adjust its speed depending on the result - in your case a normal sensation so only 1.2 GHz clock speed
