Regarding the lean/fat mode. That is something I suggest learning how to setup tasker to do. There is no way to know what apps you are going to have and I have a feeling to implement that into a rom will be a major undertaking.

Also on CM9 there is a setting for profiles. Im not on it currently but I remember on CM7 you could use it to change user settings. Like a work profile and such Im not sure how much customization there is but what the rom doesnt have you more than likely can with tasker.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Good thinking! Profiles look like they'll handle the data/radio switching.

I think for the apps, something like Tasker will be needed as you not only need to kill/start apps, but also services. The services often restart themselves if killed, even if the app isn't running.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Je_ne_sais_quoi:
Thanks all, I'll look into profiles.

I guess I was looking for: Going green on the battery here.

A starting point:

1. If the phone is busy going in and out of WIFI service, then beep a message if owner wants a slower ping rate to save battery. or, just do it.

2 . If the phone is busy going in and out of phone service, then beep a message if owner wants a slower ping rate to to save battery, or, just do it.

Even a half ping speed frequency is a savings and not a communication loss.

Increasing frequencies as the return is a negative with occasional mid ping.

Heck when the screen is off, and we are traveling about, we don't know what it is doing.

A lot of battery is used up pinging out when it isn't successful.

Google service and apps are the worst at this, sorry.

Phones are faster, and recover and start services now very fast, not like the old days.

Take advantage of the speed, not the battery.

B4 CM9 my phone battery lasted 2 days, this week less than a day. I haven't changed any usage.

I can't find anymore easter eggs.

Dial, dial, ring, ring, Operator, please!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
+1 but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime. I googleplay searched for wifi and found "auto wifi Toggle" which sounds nice if it works...

I will play a bit with search - maybe carrier or something would turn up something for shutting off the carrier search w/o engaging airplane mode which also catches wifi and BT...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Je_ne_sais_quoi:
Another easter egg found:

Media server and bad media on SD card.

QUOTE from CROSS post:

Just solved a really annoying battery drain issue. Figured I'd post the results...

I noticed last week that my phone was going through the battery MUCH faster than normal. A check of Settings/About Phone/battery use told me that the "Mediaserver" was using over 35% of my battery, surpassing the phone standby -- which is saying a LOT given what my T-Mo reception is like.

Now, I'm still learning, so when the description says is does something with running apps, I assume that the issue is an app I recently installed, so I remove apps I recently installed or updated. Nope.

I saw another post about a laggy G2 that seemed to also have battery issues. It recommended using Watchdog Lite to see what was happening. So, off to the Android Market.

After installing Watchdog Lite, I saw that the CPU was 0% idle with 75-95% "nice." Well, no idle = battery suckage, so off to see what tasks are using CPU. The initial check didn't show anything -- until I enabled monitoring "Phone Processes." The alerts for the "mediaserver" "linux task" showed that this process was taking every cpu cycle it could. Off to Google.

Did a search on "android mediaserver loop" and found a couple of bugzillas that essentially said that a corrupt media file (pic, movie or sound) could send mediaserverover the edge. So, I started to move *every* picture off the sd card onto my computer's HD.

Knew I was on to something when mediaserver stopped going crazy once usb storage was turned on. So, I moved all the image and movie files off and turned off usb storage. The CPU spun back to100% busy, but slowed back down to about 9o% or more idle.

Now all I have to do is find the bad file or files, and I can add it to the bugzilla.

EDIT: It seems that this has also made the cooliris gallery wake up and start updating again. So anyone seeing that the gallery isn't updating may need to see if their mediaserver linux task is unusually busy. If so, offload as many media files as possible and see whap happens...

End Quote from: tronmec

However, this service is not my problem, but something is eating my battery up in less than a day.

I guess I'll try a empty SD card.

:crying:

Go figue!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yup. Known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'd uninstall Juice Defender, Watchdog, app killers, and any other Froyo-era "helpers" as they generally cause more problems than they solve.

If you haven't installed it already, BetterBatteryStats is the tool of choice for many of us in finding out what is waking the phone. Not only is the app great, but the support is first-rate as well.

"Freezing" the Google services you never use is probably helpful, but I don't see them waking my phone often enough to be an issue.

Some of the various "build.prop" tweaks appear to modify the WiFi scan rate. If you leave your WiFi on, they may help you some. I have never applied any.

I was getting ~8-9 hours of run time on GB. I now get 15-20 hours on ICS. I suspect a lot of this is I took the time with BetterBatteryStats to understand what was waking my phone and resolving it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Je_ne_sais_quoi:
Great help all.

The general public is battery conscious and will always rip apart a battery eater whenever and wherever it is.

Get off my soap box.

Let the phone/WIFI idle a bit.

Green light, yellow light, red light, green light.

Whoa. Traffic cop!!!!!! It's OK it's GREEN.

For those following this thread.

Battery is much better after installing and reformatting a brand new SD card.

Also cleared all all CAHCE options.

Must be, pics, movies or somethin on my old SD card that was causing a problem.

Maybe need to tell folks flashing CM( to start out with a freshly formatted SC card and eleviate the issue.

For those of you that are laughing, there are over 200 individual repositories in Team Acid's CM9, and there are constantly changes in them coming in from "upstream," CyanogenMod, AOSP, and probably more.

I'm half tempted to just repo forall -c git log and cram it in the code tags...

...but if they enforce this as tightly as they do their supposed policy on source code as required by GPL, well...

The fact is, though, Facebook contact syncing doesn't work on ICS and up. It's not a bug, it's a (partially) removed feature.

It looks like adb has been updated/changed on cm9

And i have no idea how to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Menu -> System Settings -> Developer Options -> Android debugging (check this)

I also like root for both apps and adb, so I set:

Doesn't Work for Me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
Face unlock isn't included in cm9 because of a cease and desist order from Google. However it is something we can add...it just doesn't work smoothly because the ffc orientation is a little screwy. I'll post a zip later for people who want it anyway if airfluip doesn't beat me to it.

For those wondering about battery life:

My phone was charged to 98% when I went to sleep.. When. I woke up 6 hours later, I had 96%. When I checked better battery stats, I found no kernel wakelocks. Not even one. Also, the awake and screen on bands match perfectly when I look at battery use in settings. Never has this phone run so well!

omfg this phone is killing me. trying to update a buddies sgs4g to ics and every single one i try it flashes part way and reboots and gets stuck on the splash screen. i was on gingerbread, rooted, custom kernel with cmw. flashed cm9 and it started to run then flashed to splash screen then back to a newer looking recovery and then im stuck on splash. do a battery pull and hold power volume and down and release power when splash comes on but no joy. stuck on splash. please help. gingerbreak blows lol

edit. now i cant even get into download mode. anybody have any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
When you go to CM9, the first flash changes CWM recov ver. flash it again and it will flash the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dan.kels.r:
yeah i saw it do that but then hung on the splash and i cant use the power and volume up and down to get into recovery and i cant get into download mode. am i screwed? i did everything right. i did see the new cwm flash with the rom and then i went away and splash came on and is stuck there

edit- i never got the chance to flash twice. i barely caught a glimpse of the updated cwm before i rebooted and hung on the splash screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:

o for sure yeah i knew that. i dont think the the whole zip flashed after the new recovery popped up. i rebooted by itself and sat on the splash screen. just to see what would happen i let it sit for 21 minutes. i did manage to get into download mode by my computer and odin do not see the device attatched. computer says device unrecognized. for booting straight to recovery its volume up down and power all together until splash then release power and wait for recovery to appear right? its not working now if its supposed to be

I recently flashed to ICS but I'm not sure how to access my contacts, they seem to be gone.

Help is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
If you flashed any rom, your contacts and all data are gone. If you have them saved somewhere you can restore them. Otherwise you'll have to build them from scratch. I strongly recommend using google contacts. Then when you flash, you can just sync to your google contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
They're all saved to my SIM card, normally you can just import them but there's no contact app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
Lulz....are you sure.... what ics are you on?

But I agree with kris Google contacts is the way to go
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Shoulda saved to Google and flashed gapps.

If you one click back to a ginger bread rom they'll be restorable....then save to Google and then go back to the darkside (cm9/aokp)

After you return there ....flash gapps and you will have your contacts after you restore your Google account.

My experience is on mtd roms...you can't get your contacts from the sim card...that doesn't mean their gone,you just can't access them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Actually you can export them to the sdcard. Some people dont like using google contacts. Also the app is no longer called contacts, it was renamed to People in ICS.
