[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
I just had someone at Radio Shack install an InvisibleShield for me and there are little water spots on the screen (under the protector). Will these go away with time? I also wanted to know if its safe to use my phone while the water is going away and everything is clearing up. One last question, is it ok to put my phone back in my Otterbox Defender case or will that interfere with anything? (I took off the screen protector that comes with the case)
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
the spots go away with time.. and your all set to put your phone back in the case :)
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
The water spots should go away, depending on how big they are. My motto is: If you're paying $15-20 for a screen protector, put it on yourself and make sure it is right. Your phone should be fine to go back in it's case, just try to determine if the edges of the case rub up against the edges of the screen protector. If it does, you may experience some "fraying" at the edge of the screen protector from it rubbing on the slight movement of the case.

Edit: I have always used my devices after applying these protectors and have never experienced any illeffects.
[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
Thanks so much for your helpful replies!
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
They will go away will look nice to as long as no dust or lint was on the glass at the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
Just a little update: only about 13 hours has passed so far and some of the water has already evaporated! There are still small amounts scattered throughout the screen but I believe that they will also go away.
[HTC EVO 3D] protoadies:
I always put my phone under a desk lamp with the old style light bulbs that get hot 60 watts....about 30 minutes later all water gone no spots. Not sure if its bad to do but I've done it to a dozen or so phones no problems yet.

I am not sure if this is the place for this, but Ive rooted and unlocked my evo 4g lte, but I cant get Clockworkmod Touch to flash from Rom Manager. Ive tried to flash zips in CWM but either the files arent visible or they get aborted. Even the latest update from Sprint wont install because CWM said it cant find it. Any suggestions?

SuperSU & Busybox?

I bookmarked this thread a few months ago and forgot about it. I messed up my phone a little, and for months didn't know how to fix it. The only ROM I could flash was CM10, and couldn't figure out how to unroot without getting stuck. CM10 not too shabby, so I wasn't trying very hard to get to the heart of the problem.

I finally fixed it, by figuring out how to fully unroot, and go back to stock. I think I can get a fresh start. Earlier, I'd been able to flash any rom I wanted, sense or senseless, without having to use adb to flash kernels. I'm hoping I can do that again, now that I appear to have fully reverted to unrooted stock.

Well, I immediately rooted it, and flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-jewel, AND backed up my fresh stock install. I went to Play store, and downloaded SuperSU, but it won't open. I get the error message about having no binary.

I'm replying to this thread, wondering if you can edit in some SU and Busybox resources. Just a though. :cyclops:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i would take clockworkmod recovery out because it brakes your misc parition.. its a well known issue.. thats why nobody uses it..
[Epic 4G General] kennysvgp08:
Since the beginning of Android one thing has always been an issue with some of the greatest ROMs.

........................Battery life.

Every day lives are drained away by the pleasures and features of such fantastic ROMs... and such things at time seem so hard to bare that we try to change the lives of our battery by going to a different ROM.

So now you have a chance to make a difference, nay, an opportunity to change the lives of many...

This thread is strictly for how to save Battery life. CM9/AOKP have amazing battery life by themselves (but yet can always be made better) But for those on MIUI (Not so great battery life) this will be really useful.

Understand that everyone's device is different and although you may get 15 hours off MIUI/AOKP/CM9 others may only get 4 from them.

Post what it is that helps you achieve maximum Battery life. You may be the one to solve the cure to wowhowdidmybatterylifedroptwentypercentinanhourosis.

Be sure to include:

1. ROM

2. Kernel

3. Tweaks that have been applied through ClockworkMod

4. Apps used to save life

5. What battery you use

6. How long your life lasts

7. Anything else that you think may help :)
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Eclair

Just Eclair

Any Eclair

Shoot me......

But seriously, disabling 3g on ICS saves a ton of battery life.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Uhhh,,,on ANY ROM...but not a practical solution.

I think the OP is looking for more practical solutions where they are not disabling major features of the smartphone.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
1. CM9, although i think aokp does better.

2. Samurai Kernel, although just about any other ICS kernel should help. The biggest thing that you can change between kernels is the Governor and I/O depending on these two will determine how the CPU runs and in effect will determine battery life. Conservative is just about the best for battery life. If you need slickness and not too worried about battery Ondemand. If you want the best of both worlds i Think Wheatly is a good compromise. Also I/O , Sio is "simple" :) but VR is flash based so it tends to be the best. Otherwise Noop/Deadline. Also voltage.. undervolting will help limit the amount of well voltage to the CPU. So the lower you can get it the better.

3. Dont have tweaks i apply through CWM but i Run the V6 Supercharger, 3G turbocharger(optional), and the Kick Ass Kernelizer from Zeppelin. :D

4. I cannot stress this enough, Apps that say they save battery... run... which uses RAM and Resources... meaning its running trying to save you battery, Using battery. Which is stupid... and useless.

5. I have two a 3500Mah and the stock 1.5 year old 1500mah.

6. Typically with 3 hours of display over a period of 15hours (1500 mah) and around 5 hours of display over a period of 22 hours (3500 mah). However this is on wifi, 3g would deduct these a pretty good amount if you have sucky speeds.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
He needs to get over it... lol. The only thing that truly saves battery life is managing your connections. There is no magic bullet unfortunately.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
PLEASE! Don't tell us to turn off data and never sync the phone. Obviously if you don't use the phone the battery will last forever. I need a phone that can do the following:

Receive emails and texts as they are sent. (I use exchange push)

Last 18 hours on a standard or 1800 mAh battery.

I can just barely make that with stock FC09, I'd love to run ICS but with either CM9 or AOKP I barely make 10 hours.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Why must people post unhelpful comments such as the one above? I don't understand the logic there...

anyways since this was aimed at miui I get pretty good battery life with it... (3.5 hours screen on time) nyan v5 ftw! No special features... uv a lot (won't list my settings cuz every phone is different) and no oc... used to use jd but, it saves more battery if you just switch things off manually... really though until I flashed nyan my battery life was atrocious, but now just about on par with the peoples rom (4.5 to 5 hours screen on time!) Oh yeah, all this with the stock battery...
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
On aokp with 1800 mAh i can do about 3Hours of screen on time and 15 Hours of battery life and my phone was awake 75% of the time.

Screenie was at 15%

This was stock Everything Except ROM haha
[Epic 4G General] stevie13.xo:
Think about if your screen was on while the device was awake..your time would be cut in half
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
Oh my good golly gosh.

I just realized the best battery life I ever got was on DK28.

So take that. Let's go Frankenstein.

1. CM9 KANG June 02 build.

2. Stock

3. Services for V6 and Search Key Remap

4. Ha!

5. Stock. Came with device...need new one.

6. Depends on use. But I usually get the estimated six hours consistently.

7. If you're going to use a task killer just use the built in one. Overclocking is bad, and in my experience so is undervolting. GTalk, official Facebook application(especially this. Even with notifications off it still is always going), G+, and more are always running and are a drain. No live wallpapers, and no widgets that require constant updating. As much black as possible. Don't use third-party batteries. Obviously turning off 3G, 4G, sync, and such will dramatically increase your battery life.

WAIT! Why am I writing this? There is a freaking optimization guide. Why does this exist? For ****s sake.
[Epic 4G General] Temeriki:
Running AOKP build 36, stock, FC09 modem 15 hours running takes me down to 50% batt hour of screen time, constant crappy wifi connection in an area with crappy cell signal sync for everything but email and g chat is every 2 hours (weather and all that). Big thing to save batt for me was turning down my screen brightness. I was also getting crappy battery life till i let this rom install run the battery down to 5% twice.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
By no means was I saying never enable your 3g/4g.. but the fact remains that the single best way to conserve your battery life is to be smart about managing your connections. I.e. not leaving it on ALL day and to only turn sync on when your actually checking your e-mail.. be that through an app like juice defender or manually toggling. If that's not more helpful than what you posted (UV a lot and don't overclock??? Duh.) than my bad bro!
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Something we can all get behind here... I remember I used to get 24+ hours on froyo w/o customs kernels. Le sigh..
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
ÜBER™ put's it pretty well.

-CM9 still seems cleaner, but AOKP seems better.

-Spot on.

-I don't use the supercharger, but I do apply the same oom ram mods. These help close unused apps when they exceed the applied limit. Based on my experience, it's kept apps under control.

-THIS +9000! An app that spends all of it's time stopping other apps is wasting just as much "battery." I maintain, Advanced Task Killer, with NO, I repeat NO AUTOKILL. Set a widget on your home page, tap it occasionally to make sure everything is closed. Same effect as the built in task manager, but one single convenient tap. :D

-I use two stock 1500mah batteries and one 3500mah. My wife has the same. All are about 1.5 years old now.

-These numbers are pretty much the same for me. I almost always average 3 hours display on the stock battery between games and internet. 5-6 hours on the 3500, but I'm pretty sure it's not reaaallly the 3500mah it claims to be... :rolleyes:. I NEVER turn off wifi or 3G, but google autosync is off until I edit my contacts.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
I don't turn off my connections at all and get great battery life... and seens how the op states don't say anything about disabling 3g or anything id say your comment was the least helpful on the thread... but at least you tried... don't get into a battle of witts with me, I'm afraid your unarmed...:(
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Firstly, I'm not trying to get into a pissing match with you. Its pointless. Secondly, the op makes no mention whatsoever of connection status. Thirdly, while you might get decent battery life w/o doing it.. I guarantee you'd do better if you did. Straight facts.

Edit: I am armed. With a small slide out keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Please follow the format specified by the OP. List the 7 items. Bickering in this thread will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your cooperation

[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
1. CM9

2.ShadowKernel (I find nyan colonel to be a little more draining) SIO, conservative

3. None

4.System Tuner Pro configured to UV, under clock to 400mhz on screen off, to close apps that don't automatically restart themselves, configure "auto-kill" so its not as aggressive with killing apps that just stay on, and a few sysctrl edits that I honestly don't think make a difference.

5.stock epic 1500 mAh, my sprint store wouldn't give me an sgsII battery

6. 12-18 hrs depending on use, though it has definitely drained quicker

7.be easy on data! (There kennyG) turn off wifi when your not near your networks, turn off mobile data, Bluetooth, and autosync when your not needing it. (Unless you absolutely need PUSH email for your job or whatever though honestly as far as my job goes if its important enough for me to need the message immediately they will simply dial my phone number. Yeah I'm old fashioned.
[Epic 4G General] propjockey:
- Cm9

- Shadow kernel

- No tweaks

-1800 D710 battery

- I get 15-20 hours depending on how much music I stream during the day.

- I got the biggest boost by using the profiles in CM9 to optimize my connections and syncing depending on where I'm at during the day. I have Wifi at work and home, so I have it toggle my data off during that time period and vice versa when I'm mobile.
[Epic 4G General] mjben:
Using AOKP with shadow kernel.

Best thing I did to help with battery life was to turn off all notification options in the FB app. And I set haxsync to download photos only when plugged in.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HemiDroid03:
Hey everyone, I just purchased a 16G NT for my 8 year old daughter, she's LOVES to read plus enjoys all the ANDROID stuff. My question would be this...

What would be the easiest root method?

If I root and add the full Android experience will she lose all the B&N stuff?

I want her to be able to easily browse for new books to purchase BUT also get to use the Android Market for her games and whatnot.

Thanks in advance for the help!

EDIT: Oh yea and from what I've read on most ROMs. Go Launcher seems to be the "go to launcher" for the devs, I'm not a big fan of it... Any ROM or way of using a different launcher? Remove Go Launcher from a ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] balrog558:
Try indirects root method, I can post the link when I find it, as it only requires the use of a bootable sdcard. That method gives you root access, plus two new launchers, adw and go launcher. Im not a fan of go launcher, so I chose to use adw as my default. This method is called stock+root, you get to keep all the stock bn stuff plus get all the cool Android play store too.

If you decide to run a different rom, such as cm7 or cm9 (icecream sandwich) you can have a more open experience and still keep all your apps purchased from bn. Just back everything up using titanium backup, then reinstall on after flashing your new rom. I've used this to run the apps that I purchased from bn on both cm7 and now cm9 and they run just as well as on stock.

If you do go with one of the cyanogen roms, you'll have to download the nook app from the market, but it works fine for reading your nook books, you can even shop from the app.

Good luck and don't let the amount of info scare you, it'll start to make sense after reading and rereading.

Here's the link to indirects root method.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
As for launchers, I'm happy with the stock Trebuchet launcher in CM9, but I've used ADW ex in the past and liked it too, though sometimes the dev throws in some unusual stuff and makes it default. I tried Go Launcher once and didn't care for it, though I don't recall why.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HemiDroid03:
Thanks you guys. Definitely helpful info. Covered my questions so far. So is CM9 working well for the NT? I might go for CM7 but I do love the Trebuchet Launcher. Again, THANKS!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
The big feature not working in cm9 is hardware acceleration. This means no Netflix or HD video or higher end games.

They're making a lot of progress though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
CM9 may not be the best for your daughter. Remember it will time out in another 20 days or so and you will have reflash the new version. Indirect's rooting gives you all B&N just like it is stock and you can also get the full tablet experience with the Google Play Store.

For some reason every theme I download it never will let me use the status bar. I have Mtz files that are just status bars and they do not show up in the themes.

Also

Is there a MiUi control panel for Droid x running MiUi v4
[Android Themes] Hypercaine:
You should go to customize, and choose statusbar from there, but I think MIUI 4 doesn't support full themes just yet. Only icons and lockscreens ;)
[Android Themes] saul1991:
there isnt any control panel for miui v4 your going to have to use wizards build which is miui gb.
[Android Themes] stevie13.xo:
Its because you're using miui gb themes which don't work on v4

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
Ok, so I have a t989 running Darkside Beta 2. I made the mistake of installing ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod Recovery. I noticed from the start that when I go into recovery, my hardware buttons will not navigate the menu, but I ignored this because ROM Manager has a UI to install the ROM which allowed me to install Darkside without using the recovery interface. Everything worked fine, but suddenly, my phone stopped connecting to T-Mobile's network. The phone still works on Wi-fi, including wi-fi calling, but simply will not connect to the network. At this point, when I try to flash a different ROM through ROM Manager, it now force closes every time, no matter what whenever superuser permissions are granted. And I can't manually flash anything because the hardware buttons do not work on the recovery menu. Is there a way I can uninstall the CWM Recovery? Is there a way I can still access the stock recovery menu? I should have never installed ROM Manager and CWM Recovery... :\ Help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Z-Man™:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Touch recovery or non touch? if it's touch, you don't use buttons. You can use Odin to flash cwm. I don't use ROM manager for anything but fixing permissions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
There is really no need to have Rom Manager anymore. When I first got into rooting my phones and flashing ROMs , I was too scared to use anything but Rom Manager because I heard about "bricking". I always remember people saying not to use Rom Manager and to manually get into recovery to flash or whatever. Although I have never bricked a phone using Rom Manager, I started to notice qwerky things within the app. Manually getting into recovery is much more safe if you know what you are doing. I dont want to rely on this app with a $600 phone. F that!
