[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltarod:
Once upon a time I installed many ROMs almost one a week..Sometimes even two a week if one was problematic...I've seen them all..Seen the best, seen the worst, seen the stolen from others roms...And mostly everything since I bought the S2 when it first came out and only VillainRom and LightingRom was out there..Of course at the end CheckROM RevoHD was the best.Then ICS came...And after trying again many awful buggy ROMs, AOSP/AOKP came and things were better in a way...But the thing is that in my opinion Samsung stock ROMs are the best for performance and great user experience.Which is why I am using now Salman ROM.Unknown developer but with a stable stock ROM.The thing is that I miss stock ROMs since all good GB ROMs (HyperDroid,CheckROM etc) haven't updated..Is this the future of S2?Only AOSP/AOKP C9 ROMs in Original Android Development?Doesn't anyone care about good camera perfornace?Better performance?More stability?

I know trolls will swarm here...But I'm hoping to get some attention from people that think the same like me and maybe change something...

PS: Is it a bad idea if the admins here can create a new subforum thread?Have something like:

~General

~Q&A

~Accessories

~Original Android Development

~AOSP/AOKP Android Development

~Android Development

~I9100G Android Development

~Themes and Apps

Would make things much easier to found...

there are many samsung based roms. The mods just move them to android development instead. Id suggest you look there

@ law16, this one is sense based. blackwings version is ASOP, i thought miuiandroid would have added miuitoolbox in this release but sadly that is not the case.

ahh right ok,

i understand about forums getting cluttered by needless threads (which is what i have done here) and will just keep this thread updated. as i have no knowledge of cooking roms this is the only way i can give something back to the forum. if it is only a copy ans paste job, as long as someone gets some use from it.

Hi mate i just downloaded this ROM, installed and try to run it, but it stopped at boot animation ;(

Wanted to give it a go, but no luck.

Please report if anyone had the same.

Any solutions, or special installation procedure??

Cheers Guys:confused:
[HTC Sensation] blackwing182:
sadly miuitoolbox is not from miui china or miuiandroid, miuitoolbox is an app developed by miui.us team and it cant be ported
[HTC Sensation] PC400:
Here the effects are very slow, it is normal?

Thanks !
[HTC Sensation] sudeki300:
it is just the weekly update of the miui US rom which is based on sense.

@highflights,

make sure you are on the correct firmware 3.32 and i would do full wipe before flashing the rom again, then you should be good to go buddy.

@PC400,

it is not normal for the effects to be running slow, what effects are you talking about? what rom have you had installed before flashing this one, or are you just updating from another version of miui.............................sudeki300
[HTC Sensation] sudeki300:
the V4 themes nearly work fully except status bar icons, they only work fully on the ASOP release, this is because of the change in sense file system. for instance there used to be a carrier icon in the systemui file that could easily be changed. but know the carrier is written in text on a xml file. most other bits work on V4 themes but not the best bits like status bar mods...................................sudeki300

You honestly think AT&T would risk a hefty fine to jip you out of a 500 petty dollar phone? You do realize they sell refurbs for a little less (usually 50-100 bucks) and make it all back right? They have nothing to lose by being honest with you and everything to lose by lying to you once and getting caught, you and your petty phone aren't worth the fine to them. Why would they lie to you? lol

It is possible with Livedock. OTG and charging in the same time, so I belive there is chance for SGSIII too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] total.destroyer:
It is possible with a diy cable. I made mine from and old micro usb to usb A data cable (the one you use to connect a phone to pc), a hardware switch i scavenged from an old radio and a usb extender cable (you only need the part that has the female port to stick other devices in like flash drives. i use the switch to toggle from usb OTG mode and standard data/charging mode to connect to pc. I think you can't charge and use usb OTG simultaneously. for that you could wait for a wireless charging mod.

[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
Hi guys,

Since I don't have much notion about the battery life I would like your opinion please. I think now with 4.0.4 the battery is great.

Today I used a little wifi, a little 3G, around 50 texts, 3 calls (short ones) and played a game for about 5/10m.

Let me know what you think! :)
[Xperia Arc General] panicc.co:
With rooted 4.0.4 with cwm I get 36.5 hrs of battery life compared to gb witch was 20-21 hrs.
[Xperia Arc General] Delgadovsky:
If i have a intensive use, the phone only remains for 20h but with gaming, net and bluetooth... With normal usage, can last for almost 2 days. good battery usage
[Xperia Arc General] frothe3:
Mine is the same; crappy. Lucky if I can make it through the day without a charge.
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
But do you think this is good stats?
[Xperia Arc General] chandoliasnikos:
My Arc S is rooted, with stock 4.0.4 and the battery lasts for about 36 hours. With GB it could reach ~50 hours.

Crappy, especially if you use 3G + Browser.

Browser eats too much power.
[Xperia Arc General] tyrand3:
Really ??:eek:

How much screen time you guys get?

true! I only can get 3 hours+ on 3G browsing.
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
If I leave my phone alone without fiddling it with, the drain is minimal. But I tend to message a lot on WhatsApp, use both Dolphin Browser (on wifi) and Opera Mini (on 3G) and then the battery comes crashing down.

I'm a heavy user so never been able to comment on battery life BUT I do feel the overall battery life on ICS is better than it was on GB.
[Xperia Arc General] Januarei:
After my arc upgrade to ICS 4.0.4

I think battery life is slightly tougher too..

Wifi always on (80% on)

Juice defender on (disable data via 3G)

Running on 3G (wcdma/gsm)

Screen used 4h

Battery life reach 1 d 1 h

Its awesome for me
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
On ICS the battery is poorer than inGB

People with battery lasting less than 22hr you must be excess using some how. I have and lt15i- rogers, an lt15i - telus and a arc s - no carrier and all of these are rooted 4.0.4 and they all reach 20 hr or more. The lt15i- rogers battery for yesterday went like this:

So I dunno guys you should be getting great power. I will do this same process with the lt15i - telus today and I'll let u know.
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
ICS should give more battery life than GB theoretically coz many changes were made to optimize battery life..so if you are getting less battery then some bloatware or some app is causing battery drain..screen eats battery like hell..but still my screen brightness is around 80% coz screen is sooo beautiful :) but still i get around 2.5 days of battery easily :)
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
You keep your screen at 80%? I keep it at 30% and it's still bright. I actually find that to be optimal.

before my screen brightness was also 30-40%..but later thought wat will i do by saving battery when i m always nearer to plug point..so recent started keeping 80% :D
[Xperia Arc General] Januarei:
I think 30% brightness is enough for me, and my battery still always reach for one full day use. (from unplug charger 9am - 11pm plugin charge)

Screen always 3h ++

Signal wcdma/gsm

Wifi always on

[Xperia Arc General] zangetsu2188:
But not on my usage scenario. 3G and browser.

My usage pattern did not change, reading news, weather, browsing tech sites etc. But ICS browser really eats much power compared to gingerbread. The phone noticeably heats up faster, too.

I already removed the bloatwares, test it with stock kernel first, minimal app installs. :(
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
i never used stock browser..so dunno about it..but i agree about 3G..it drinks the battery like hell..but overall ICS is better atleast for me..and for many other people too
[Xperia Arc General] flyfox99:
Mine is worse as well after going to 4.0.4 with root. A few bloatware already removed.

3G always on, 4 accounts sync'ed (one of them is Exchange with calendar), 2 other email apps that poll every now and then. And I do minimal browsing. It goes from 80% -> 30% in about 12 hours, but after the upgrade I can't even last that. I charge from 2 times a day to 3 times a day. :eek:

Better Battery Stats does not point to an obvious offender. I just switched back to GB and I will miss the nicer UI.
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
aha!! 3G is always on...that why battery dies quickly..but still it shouldnt die sooo quickly..atleast it should give 24 hrs.
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
I think the main "drainer" is 3G. If I don't use it my battery almost doesn't change! I also keep my brightness on 30/35%! 80%? I would get blind! :P

GB was good, 4.0.3 was really bad and 4.0.4 is proving to be really good.
[Xperia Arc General] S_Sonic:
I've tried a lot of roms and kernels but I don't see a big difference :D
[Xperia Arc General] Pahoehoe:
..at the moment i use BoostHD [ICS]. The Battery Life is awesome and everything is smooth.

I try to undervolting my phone but the kernel doesn´t support undervolting :(

...very bad

But GB beats them all. I´m thinking about to downgrade my phone. ICS looks cool and fresh and has some nice functions but sometimes it´s a little bit laggy. For me is a long battery life more important.
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
And what about those battery booster apps? Real or just fake publicity?
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
I don't think any of the battery booster apps are worth anything.

Common battery boosting tips are just common knowledge. Switch off wifi, data, GPS when not in use; lower screen brightness etc.

I can say I'm satisfied with battery all in all, especially when I speak with other people using some other over 4 inch display, high-end phones.

With heavy usage it can last for 24 hours easily, and with normal usage even 48 hours.

I'm on JJ-Hybrids ROM and I'm very happy with the battery. 8-10 hours 3G on, 4-5 hours WLAN on. Newsreading every hour, IMAP-Email, some shorts calls (2-5 min, 5-8 a day). My battery stands now up for 44-48 hours. :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Before I bought arc S, I also came across a lot of complainings about battery life, all over the web. But now, after I bought it, and like I said in previous post, I'm very satisfied with my battery. With heavy usage, it can last 24 hours easily. What is heavy in my case? Well, few hours of browsing (wireless on), few hours of gaming, some music listening, few calls, etc... And I'm keeping brightness on default value of 60% all the time.
[Xperia Arc General] FAdrums:
Well I really dont know...I like Arc S but not sure if XS is worth the price. But then all other high end device are even more! S3? 600€ bahhhh maybe I'll just stick to my Arc S! Lol
[Xperia Arc General] 100pies:
very hot

when i´m using 3g with default stock browser the arc overheats a lot, more than 40C, and the battery discharges quickly, about 10% in 20 minutes, otherwise the arc keeps for 15 hours in a common use.

[LG Revolution] jaymazz13:
after researching the net for ways to speed up my revo I have came across people talking about "smurf" or "thunderbolt" for the revo and im not sure what they are talking about. im a noob but I am currently brokenout 1.1 with blitz 3.0 do I need to de these things or a supercharger to speed my phone up more, i may be new to this but i can usually figure it out with instructions, thanks for any help
[LG Revolution] Smiller5331:
Those are tweaks that do speed up the phone quite a bit. My personal preference is thunderbolt because it comes in a zip file that you just flash through cwm whereas Smurffed out is a physical script you run through a script manager. Some users prefer this because you can truly customize the settings on smurffed out but for some reason I've had keyboard issues every time I install it so I always end up removing it. The t bolt script has worked well though with no problems.
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
They are script Tweaks; Battery life, Min max CPU settings etc. etc.
