Do you use any particular kernel or the one with ROM? Set cpu can help having better battery?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
use system tuner you can get that free from the market. also if you want to go for a particular kernel i would suggest franco kernel or faux;)

I've been looking for a live walpaper that reflects the battery charge level.

Came across Asus MyWater, it's extremely nice, but apparently it won't work at all outside Asus Transformer and its Xoom port. Forcecloses upon trying to assign lwp...

So, found "Liquid Battery" which also force closes..

Any other full screen LWP's to this end ? Not interested in widgets, that i can get easily...

Any ideas ?

Phone runs latest CM9 nightly (as of post date/time).

I've been using asus water on my sgs2 for ages
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gorjess:
i've used Neon Clock GL and it could show battery indicator, cpu meter, memory meter, compass, calendar..

u can get it at play store for free..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sliex:
@Brendo: According to your sig your S2 is on 2.3.6. Mine is on CM9 4.0.4 ICS. Did you try Water LWP on ICS ?

@Gorjess: Nah, looks a bit meh and isn't really what i'm looking for.

Cheers...

Anything like MyWater but not as gorgeous ? Something that drains background as battery discharges ? May not be "rotatable", as long as its full screen...

Well, i do understand that in the trolldom that is internet sometimes you do need to pull "LMGTFY" out, but when you do, you must be prepared to be called a **** (if for a good reason).

My point is, first result is "buddha the charge meter". Thanks, but that is not nearly what i'm looking for and it is in no way constructive... That's why i told you to go away. Did it ever occured to you that some people actually do research before posting ?

Also, my problem appears to be solved so thanks to anyone who helped without resorting to "LMGTFY" trollery/sarcasmery...

Well, i got different results (buddha battery, the whole idea is a bit wtf :D )... No matter. No need for all this bickering... Its petty.

As for your post, i did try orange juice one. For some reason it would display but it will not animate when set. It will animate in preview though.

My CM9 is freshly installed, wiped couple of times before use, so it has to be something in the CM that does this. Not sure what though...

Ok.

I've been looking, and the highest rated wallpaper is this (Although paid unfortunately) -

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sliex:
Yeah, looked at that, but its more of a gimmick. Well MyWater is as well but at least it has some level of precision in depicting level of charge.

If i knew how to program stuff i'd write very simple one that, say, inverts a bitmap image of your choice at the level of charge 1% at a time from top to bottom, no animations no nothing. Just a simple thing. Cant find anything simple as that. Everything is more or less "gimmickyfied" in some way. Fancy battery eating animation, acc sensor usage, etc...

As a last throw of the Dice, the MIUI battery bar works well on AOKP roms, although not a LWP, it's not intrusive and is battery friendly:

Have no experience with this, but I think you can. The above post about wifi might work, but a cleaner fix could be to do this:

Hello!

I am not experienced yet, so may be answer is simple:confused:. Currently on DarkyRom Note v3.4.1. Extreme Edition. Kernel is Abyss 4.2.

Now i am trying to flash Criskelo ICS V5.

Full wipe is needed,as much as i understand. Vol Up+Home+Ponywer combo takes to CWM Recovery v5.8.1.5, but starting from this point smthng strange happens. Pressing VolUp and VolDown does not move highlighted line, screen only flickers once or twice and remains on - Reboot system now-.

Long press ( 2-3 seconds) on Power reboots.

Any ideas, thanks in advance!

Hi all...

My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.

Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.

I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...

I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.

I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?

Thanks... :)

I edited a configuration file for Bluetooth(main.conf) in which i changed the device discoverable for value to be 0 (by default 120). then i left the folder as is (r/w) mode and saves and rebooted.

rescue mode is available(volume up - home -power)

boot loops continously

Kies not recognising when connecting when the device is turned off

there is a backup of the file at the same folder..

if you can provide me too ..how do i upload to my phone.

need help ASAP.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
try installing firmware with odin
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
Other better ideas!

I am pretty sure that this matter was triggered because of that tweak..(editing of the file). I hope that restoring the original file would help.

Do you know about adb...?

Also i forgot where the actual bluetooth configurations file was in the root folder structure
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
adb will not work on device in recovery/download mode

to use adb mobile needs to be running

you can flash cwm in your mobile then upload the file and send me the link i will make a flashable zip and upload it then you can flash it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
adb is running...just

Adb is running (while the phone keeps on showing boot animation-samsung logo-bootanimation-samsung logo-bootanima....) but it seems that it has permissions issues..i unrooted my phone before using adb .

i can access adb shell and list root directories but cannot enter further directories such as data\ permission denied

I donot have the file that i changed and quiet cannot remember it..

Check on your mobile and see for

data/misc/bluetoothd/

if it has files such as music.conf,main.conf etc etc..then this is the needed folder..

can you create a update.zip

like i used for rooting/ unrooting .that doesnt need CWM

that empties the directory ,because it has some backup files .bak created by root explorer

loads files from your mobile

i am currently unrooted ..do i need root?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] deathnotice01:
actually adb works during splashscreen

get the original file and push it through the system, set permission and it should work

if all else fails,..... odin
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
download update.zip from http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5498d4d803e6a/4fcc0dd2/7/6/3/0/8/8/update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard

go to recovery flash it you will get root then you can use adb

if it is not flashing first flash cwm through Odin then flash this update.zip through cwm
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
The file you sent is invalid. corrupt..?

what does this do..exactly.

i already have a update.zip and update-unroot.zip to root unroot my device

so

do i need root permission to use adb..because commands like

adb root gives"error not available in production devices"

&

adb shell

$ su

etc are showing permission denied.

if you have the original files on your galaxy y.. can you make update.zip with the above instruction

if adb works..i dont exactly remember the file path that i changed..so using the hints above please can you send me the file path

My aim here is to use odin or factory reset only at the last.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
just root the device by flashing the root.zip in recovery and then use

adb shell

su

and it will work
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
No still get permission denied.... like always.

cd data

ls

open directory failed, Permission denied.:mad:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
1. flash cwm recovery through odin

2. then upload the original file

3. I will create a update.zip and will upload it

4. you will need to flash it in cwm recovery
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
i will flash CWM using cwm.zip

i dont have the original file as i could not pull through adb..i hope your file may work

Finally i remembered the directory

/etc/bluetooth

the file i modified was main.conf however whole folder can be replaced from your mobile's or original one.

Thanks
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
http://db.tt/2NStXBF8

flash it in recovery but it may not work as I don't have galaxy y I have a different mobile
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] y2k2r2d2:
it didnt allow installation both through cwm and recovery mode

& now

i messed up with CWM

backup-restore feature

create backup

edited the system.tar

put the original file

calculated md5 for new system,tar

edited the nandroid.md5 with appropriate editor and filled with the new calculated md5 of system.tar

advance restoore....select system files...

md5 check pass

restore fail

now boot stuck at initial screen

pretty sure even wipe data wont work

So i Had to resort to ODIN..Thanks for your time mate...

A little about me: I am no developer, but I do like to learn about programming and android related stuff.

I saw the guide for these ports on the main xda page and decided to give it a go. I havent changed anything about the roms at all. They are straight ports.

LewaOS is working pretty darn well. maybe even better than miui!

Might have to restart for data to work though.

Wipe was necessary for me to get it to boot up. I recommend it for you.

AND! you will need to flash latest gapps.

JoyOS is working, but extremely laggy in some parts. Launcher for ex.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
That would be fine, this is my first port ever. Not like I did much but it's a start.

I didn't try to update the other one since it was too buggy, but it might be because of the base rom maybe?

I'll give it a try. I like the status bar with those icons better anyways. I just need to learn how to port that to the LeWas rom.

Edit: Where did you get the base rom for the JoyOS? All I get is a forum where I need to register.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zachpozniak:
Good ports

Joy Os:

I noticed it was very sluggish. The camera was experiencing weird issues too. It works but the camera button doesn't show. Instead there are black boxes and its hard to explain. It makes the camera unusable. Data also doesn't work. It boots and runs without crashes so that's a start! I'm just trying to test and report as much as possible to help you out. (: Nice port.

Lewa Os:

SPEEED. This rom is incredible. Performs better than MIUI 2.2.25 so far. I like this a lot. Data works fine, camera works good, looks pretty nice. Good port! I like it so far. Will report back if I experience any bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
I'm currently working on my port, I noticed that I couldnt update the quickpic alas gallery on the rom. Also I want to deodex it.

Anyone else running this version? You need the new basebad for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xj220gt:
I got got both rom bases from the links on the guide.

As for joy os, you might be on to something with the sluggishness being related to the base. Ill look into that later.

a few thing for you guys to check out on lewa : rotation animation, music player , messages is integrated with phone app ,. One thing I did notice though, no support for live wallpaper
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
I think support for live-wallpaper can be added easily, I just didnt add it cause I don't use them. I'm thinking on updating it soo, any problems reported that I can fix I will. Currently setting up a virtual machine with windows unless someone shows me how to edodex easily from linux.

Edit: I got support for live-wallpaper, added the default from CM7.2 also. Added Gallery3D until I solve the quickpic bug. Uploading soon.

Edit2: Some apps just forceclose, I'm going to remove them and replace them for CM ones.

Edit3: Filemanager changed to CM, camera changed to cm, priot update was working but some visual mistakes, calendar from CM added, before I coudlnt sync the calendar and it was in chinese anywyas, some other changes that scape my mind.

Should I open a new thread for this particular port?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Yeah you should
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xj220gt:
actually, I was thinking you should make a new one or take over this one. I just wanted to introduce the roms to people on the g2x forum since I hadn't seen them there.

you definitely seem to be on it as far as updates and all. as for me, I don't have much time.... I ported those roms over about a week or two ago and just now found time to share.

also, I think there might be a new version of lewa
