thanks for you help till now

i succ sefull y installed [16 MAY 2012][MAGLDR/cLK]TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.2 RC2 v3.8.3[2.3.7][A2SD+][tytung r14] through cwm everything is workign fine

but iw ould like to ask you one thing like you said "If you decide to flash one of these, you can create an EXT partition on your SD card and use the app Link2SD from the Play store to use that partition" i created partion using cwm and installed aap2sd from the market its working great,

but i dont that the partion created by cwm is ext or not

one thing more wht is the difference between ics roms and other roms
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Did you follow the guide I linked fully? Including step number 2 - partition your storage card for a2sd ROMs? If so, then this is an EXT partition which you have created on your SD card with CWM. If you meant repartitioning the NAND with CWM (i.e. in your case flashing a 150Mb partition) then this is NOT on the SD card and isn't an SD EXT. However, since you have stated that the app App2sd works fine, I think you've done everything correctly. Congrats, you now have a fully functional Android HD2.

The ROM you chose (TyphooN) is a very good one, I used it myself as my standard ROM for the whole of 2011 and a bit of 2012 and it was absolutely great, but right now I personally feel that ICS ROMs are better. ICS is simply the latest version of Android (GB is Android 2.3, ICS is Android 4.0) and it's the best version of Android by far. As well as this, ICS ROMs have full Hardware acceleration. This basically means that games and videos will play a LOT faster on ICS than on GB.

Hi, in having problems with downgrading my hboot. I'm on 1.400.18 and I need .07 for S-off? Anyway I've downloaded the new hboot done all the steps and put the pg18img.zip on the root of my sdcard but when I boot into bootloader it comes up no IMG found
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Would you like me to talk you through a better way to do this
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Are you already s off
[HTC EVO 3D] bobbycarver:
I'm s-on I'm downgrading to get s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
You have the zip your trying to flash from hboot named incorrect. It should be PG86IMG.zip not pg18img.zip

Try renaming the zip and the flashing it to see if it will help.

The easiest way to do it is to download the correct ruu from the stickies in the dev section plug your phone in and run the ruu this will reinstall your stock Rom but will take you to .007 once you have done that come back will tell u best s off way so you can go back to stock without breaking ur warranty
[HTC EVO 3D] bobbycarver:
everything worked fine till the last step.. flashing the PC86IMG.zip it writes this:

SD checking...

Loading...[PG86DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PG86DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PG86IMG.zip]

wrong zipped image!

and then a couple of "No image!" quickly..

and nothing happens... It's still hboot 1.49.0018 from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Do it the way I said its much easier

Can't install ruu yet as I'm away from pc and won't be back untill tommorow but I got all the files on my sd

I am using galaxy player50 which has same cpu and gpu model as galaxy3

So... Can anybody build oc kernel using opensource samsung yp g50 kernel source??

or where is tutorial for building oc kernel? i found some kernel development tut but not oc one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
What exactly is the process kworker, and what does it do?

On two different custom roms (Shostock and Phone Bricker - multiple versions, even with latest v2.7), this process is KILLING my battery, to the point of 25-30% overnight with ZERO usage.... sending 1-2 text msgs in a row, I could watch the percentage drop 1-2% in that short time.

On STOCK rom with stock kernel, or Cherry Picker or Siyah kernels, I do NOT have this problem and I can get 24-36 hours of unplugged time with at least 12 of those hours being heavy to moderate usage... I can sit and post in Facebook for a solid hour and only go through 2-3%... but if I go custom, I'd lose 3-4x that amount of power.

I'm just wondering what I'm missing....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Avenger1:
I know its with the kernel. It used to be a problem with Linux, but updates fixed it. I have a few kworker process that I to would like to get rid of on my phone... though, they dont wear down my battery like yours! Mine keep my phone awake for a while... thats about it. I am going to watch this thread closely to see what people have to say about FIXING this issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I'd appreciate that... I don't like being restricted to a stock rom just to get decent battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Today I installed Phone Bricker v2.7 after a complete reset... simply loaded the rom, didn't sign in with Google, simply loaded an app to monitor usage and took a nap... in not even 90 mins, it'd already dropped to 92% from a full charge with no usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I'm seeing this type of behavior from both Phone Bricker and ShoSTOCK.

Am I doing something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Gotta give it a couple days to settle. Battery percentages will never report correctly for the first couple days after flashing a new kernel (and both of those ROMs include a kernel, I believe). It's been posted a couple times throughout this forum, but I know it's a little hard to find sometimes, so I'll cut you a break. See here for a recent example.

After a few days, then you can check to see if kworker is still killing your battery, and you'll have a much better idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Well, I'd run Phone Bricker for roughly 2 weeks, dating back to v2.5, and tried sticking it out through the "settle" time on v2.7 as well, but performance never improved.

Also worked with ShoSTOCK, also well over 2 weeks with no negligible improvement... my battery just kept being drained and it's taken me the better part of a month to narrow down this one process that is the culprit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
Have you done a true full wipe?...not just dalvik and cache?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I do a full factoy reset; clear cache, clear dalvik... am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
I did factory reset/wipe, clear cache and dalvik before going to phonebricker and entropy dafuq kernel... I have the issue of battery drainage but I just did it a day or two ago. Will give it some time to settle and report back!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Mini update:

Live wallpapers, even if screen is off, will drain your battery like crazy.

Checked Facebook on 100% charge, was on for maybe 10minutes. Turned off screen for a little over an hour. When I checked my phone I had 90% battery. 1%/min drain? Hmm... I turned off tgeclive wallpaper and my battery is now at 83% after 4 more hours and some mild/moderate use of the phone.

Might not be news, but a great tip. Didn't have this issue as bad on stock GB, but I still refuse to run live wallpapers after seeing that happen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Not all LWPs do this...only the badly coded ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I've never used LWP because I'd always heard/assumed it was a battery kill - can you recommend some that you know to be solid?

Thanks for all the feedback so far gang.... as for this stock rom, as we sit, it's at 16 hours off charge and I'm still at 66% with moderate usage, and that's just beautiful, I just wish I could achieve the same with aftermarket roms as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Anyone???

I'd went back to stock, and it was working AWESOME for about 2 weeks as far as battery life goes, but suddenly the phone would lose it's data connection, requiring a reboot. After the reboot the phone had no signal bars, just a 0 with a line through it.... 3-4 restarts later, 3G + data would eventually come back, but data would last sometimes 5 minutes, or 5 hours before stopping.

I was out of town for 3 days, just got back, and while on the road I lost signal so much that I had no choice but to pull over, fire up the laptop and download a new rom... I did a full wipe, factory reset/data, wipe cache and dalvik and was using Shostock v3.0. I had horrid battery time due to this and I feel after 3 days of moderate usage, it's had time to "settle" with no changes. Had ZERO data problems, but horrid battery time due to kworker.

Last night (roughly 12 hours ago) I installed Serindipity 9, and already right out of the gate, showing kworker just blasting the battery... this process is haunting me with the roms I'm installing...

I installed a new SD card for troubleshooting purposes... no affect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Sorry, I never saw this post. The ones that I use on and off are:

- Galaxy Pack by Maxelus (really, any Maxelus LWP is excellent)

- Water Drops Plus

- Ice Cream Sandwich Live WP by Vectors and Pixels (another really good developer)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] prince_niceguy:
don't worry you are not alone. seems like this kworker issue is going around and making lot of people crazy including me.

I tried removing all application which use some kind of timer. Still no go, the kworker comes back to haunt me too all roms - aokp, phone bricker, serendipity, even hell raised one :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
This issue has just about killed my ability to use any custom rom on this phone.... surely I can't be the only one affected???

I see in another post that this seems to be a hot topic, but then again there are so many others that seem to be flying with no problem....

#totalfrustration
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BROKKANIC:
I'm running Shostock 3.0.4 w/included cherrypicker kernel. Battery life has been great.

Watchdog is picking up random kworker processes as well but no where near the run times(longest was 52sec) you're experiencing. I wonder what the difference is....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
At this point - I'd LOVE to know. Some are getting great usage with custom roms, and I'm still stuck on stock because ANY other rom kills my battery in less than a day... drops 25-30% overnight unused.

I really wish someone could shed some more light on this...........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I apologize in advance, but could you provide more specifics on Watchdog? What version, author, etc? I'm reluctantly am gonna reinstall shostock2 v3.0.4, monitor and report back - any help you could provide on watchdog would be great! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Phone's been on battery 21 minutes and it's already dropped 9%... from a FULL 100% charge. I'm screaming!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
2 hours, 22 minutes on battery - already down to 65%... Arrrrrgh...!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
I feel you pain! My battery life isn't all that great either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Is this kworker process the culprit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
What are you using to gather your info?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Battery Monitor Widget
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Kworker is eating my battery upa bit as well. Nor sure it's as bad as yours, but I'll post a screen shot tomorrow morning.

Clay
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Double post...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Ok, I'm reporting back - its been 4 days - and nothing has improved... the kworker process is destroying my battery. I can find no help on this... no one seems to be able to provide an answer as to what it does and how to keep it from killing my phone.... I'm totally frustrated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
If I recall I believe that battery monitor widget itself is a wakelock pile. Better battery stats and CPU spy is a better idea to try and narrow down your problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I don't experience this issue with the stock rom using these same utilities. The widget does not indicate "wakelock" - it keeps saying kworker - I'll be happy to restore back to my stock rom, let it sit for over 24 hours and show you the same utility WITHOUT all the battery draining activity using the same utilities all configured the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Loaded up the latest Shishirrom this morning....

Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!

Not even 6 hours of hardly any usage - I'm at 63%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Is that entire time on wifi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Wifi is on all the time on stock rom with no loss of battery... I guess the best thing I can do is load up a restore of my stock rom, let it sit several hours and post a screenshot of the difference.

I'm running the same apps and configurations (no Titanium backups), and when on stock, I get incredible battery life.... on any custom rom I experience what you're seeing above. Wifi and GPS are always on, and on stock there's no affect... I've even turned them off and let it sit overnight on custom roms and kworker beats my battery to death anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I really appreciate all the support.... I'm just completely at a loss with this one.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place - under stock, it's rooted, but I lose a lot of the customization I like.... battery life is incredible. Two major gripes I have with stock is that wifi hotspot won't work (not on my account) and there's no way to add a percentage to the battery in the status bar to replace the stock icon.

With a custom rom, I can't even get a full day's use.... and this has been tried across NUMEROUS roms... in the example above, it hadn't been off charge quite 6 hours, it was at 63% and 3 of those hours I was napping with my sick little one.

I love this phone - but I'm about ready to go for something else because this simply can't be explained.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Almost 2am for me so I won't be on after this. But have you done a factory reset of your internal SD? The one the phone does that will reformat the whole card and not just what cwm does. Also if you don't mind. Could you do a clean install of say unoriginal and sync your email, Google, fb and whatever else you normally have. And ONLY install better battery stats for an app and let it sit over night. You can buy it in the play store or search xda for an apk

CPU spy would be helpful as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I've totally swapped SD cards altogether.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
I was talking about the built in one the phone ships with.another thought are you syncing calendars? Those are known to hang and sync constantly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Here are a few screen shots letting my phone idle after a night
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
I reinstalled stock, and this is the screenshot after nearly 3 hours of moderate usage, sitting at 95%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Midnight1970:
Been running solid - over 17 hours and battery still at 56% - on stock... notice, not a SINGLE instance of "kworker" running....

Now if I install a custom rom.... ANY custom rom.... this process destroys my battery in less than 12 hours. Others are affected, but the majority seems to be unaffected... can ANYONE shed light on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mathmachado:
I'm sorry to revive the thread, but I used to have the same problem using either cf-root kernel or siyah (currently using), and I found out that the problem was an app, webkey, it used 3x more power than the 2nd process in course.

Also, I don't know if I'm tripping right here, maybe someone with more experience could say that I'm wrong but...

Your screenshot without the kworker problem shows the suspend and events/0 as the ones with higher usage, as other events. My thought is: couldn't the kworker process be each one of this process, but using a different name since it uses a different kernel from stock?

I'm using Siyah and I have the kworker processes and my battery life is fine, I can make it last with moderate usage for 1 day and half, but in battery monitor widget I can't find the suspend or the events/0 processes, the reason why I'm making this post.

Hopefully someone with a higher understanding of the matter can help us!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
If you have cmw boot into it and do to advance then wipe battery stats Also your permissions may be messed up so fix permissions as well

ALSO if you boot into cwm scroll down to kernal settings you can change the battery to performance or something else try battery saver I don't remember the exact names but you get the point

Double edit - if you get phone bricker 2.7 the kernal is siyah 3.2.2

Flash the kernal alone see if that works also try flashing a modem that may cause issues in your area there's a thread somewhere with a list of them. Look at any Widgets you might have and stop them I use appquarentine for mine to freeze proccese.

Idk if it was mentioned but worker is a kernal process

Edit do either of you have an alarm set? I had one for mon-fri to go off at 7 and I had a ton of battery drain from the stock clock on lilphone bricker I got rid of that and I'm at 32% after 1d 16h mostly text email voice its been a light day. When in stand by I hardly lose 3% but I'll post in the morning on that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
Funny enough im noticing quite sub-par battery on custom roms as well... might try stock again in all honesty, because whatever simple roms i use, like unoriginal, dont add much over stock that i cant live without

Used the directions from this thread, work well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orvon.freeman:
fastest way

1) put on SD card

2) use root explorer (or whatever app you use, copy file to system/app

3) set permission (RW- R-- R--)

4) reboot

5) look in app drawer and open. works fine hasn't force closed yet.

If you tried another way and it failed you must delete the one out of your system/app, reboot and then follow the steps exactly.

yes you must be on ICS
