well the reason is that ever since i had the phone unrooted, it wouldnt allow me to update the phone, as it was installing the update it would say update failed. im not sure if theres a difference between unrooting and "returning to stock" as my cousin put it.

anyway ill get on that right now and see where that puts me.

thank you so much

** actually before i do anything, i wanna clarify if unrooting is the same as returning to stock.

ive never done this before so please bear with me lol, i guess whats most important is that i dont lose the photos i have....contact can just be re-synced on google
[Motorola Droid RAZR] johnmagoo:
No, unrooting and stock are 2 different things. Unrooting, obviously, just ranges away root privileges. you can think of returning to stock as re-installing windows, like you just bought the phone.

Photos should be fine, a they should be stored on your external SD card. If you are worried about losing your pics, just plug your phone into a computer and copy your pics to your computer.

Questions go in Q&A
[HTC Titan] cpimentel:
Hi guys.

I had a Titan and know how to fix the graphics lag on it, but my brand new Titan 2 suffers from the same problem and the fix does not work.

Anyone know if there is a fix for it? Or will I have to wait and hope for the fix in the Tango update?

Also, if I plug my headset, the lag goes away.

OS Version: 7.10.8112.7

Firmware: 2180.0400.11801.502

Hardware: 0004

Thanks all.

Instead of Autobrightness I've an toggle from Widgetsoid on my Home Screen. 3 Settings (18 / 25 / 35)

So when I need it, I set in higher but usual I use the 18 %

Isn't that better for battery drain?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes, it would be, no sampling the light every couple of seconds.

Thanks! I'll add this idea to the OP.

Sent from my XT912
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
All right. It's the same thing with the Data Connection. Especially when I'm @ work, I set it to edge because I didn't need 3G.

Sure, you can let your Razr do almost everything from alone, but everything automated needs CPU / Battery. So toggles are battery's best friends :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yeah, I thought about that while making this thread, but since there are only two ROMs that have pull down toggles as of now, Liquid Smooth and Eclipse, for CDMA anyway.

I also thought about 2G, but I don't know a method of of cycling to other than turning off Mobile Data. And you would be surprised, JuiceDefender uses really small amount of battery. It doesn't show up in battery stats, ever.

Sent from my XT912
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
But with Widgetsoid you can add customized Notification - Toggles in every Rom.

I've used JuiceDefender for an while, but I missed the Email push. So it's gone from my Phone :D

If I used all these tips I could nearly bought a low end phone for 1/4 of the price of my razr :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Could you please rephrase that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Updated with Animations, new script, and Common Sense!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MarkyG82:
I disagree. I have used many of these techniques (including turning off data) for a couple of years on various android devices. With the use of notification toggles you can still use it as a smart phone while receiving all the emails you need and maintaining good battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Sorry I expressed myself incorrectly (in fact not correctly at all ;-) ) - I wanted to say that its a bit sad that we have to use such workarounds to get a worthy battery juice on the high end and quitew expensive phone..

I didn't wanted to disparage the tips above at all...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes, I would agree, and some of my own tips I don't even use. But they're all there in case somebody needs their phone for some situation to last a little bit longer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WillKennerley:
Does anybody know the difference between mot_hotplug and the hotplug governor?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes, mot_hotplug is just hotplug for Gingerbread. Since I've been on ICS for a while, that's the way I'm speaking. So mot_hotplug and hotplug are the same thing. Just different versions of Android.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
OP updated with awesome new tweaks scripts Kernel Modules, freezable apps, and a small performance section.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g_mosh:
Excellent tips. I have a couple of questions though. What is the difference between Hotplug and HotplugX? Maybe we could put together a list of apps that are battery thirsty and their more effective alternatives.

Good work!

:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Thank you. :)

For clarification, when there is less CPU load, instead it taking 1 second to turn off CPU 1 it takes .5 seconds. When CPU 1 is needed it is turned on faster. Hotplugx does not just have different values of up threshold and down threshold, it actually has optimized code to turn the cores off and on faster. Those are hypothetical values, but you get the point.

Good idea! I added some that I know of, but I don't exactly go crazy with installing apps, so if anybody can give some help here, it's very welcome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Updated with new battery sucking apps and links, more build.prop tweaks and clarified hotplugx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
Great guide!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Thanks. :)

Updated the OP with recommendations on Music playing apps, and some scripts to improve performance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
If I'm running the second script (one for hotplugx) I'm also running your performance script from the dev section, do I need to choose one or the other to run? Or can I run both? If I must chose one which would you recommend for a balance of smoothness/performance and battery life?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
They're mostly the same script, except the ones here are more bare bones, only what is the most effective. I would recommend the one found here, as the one in my other thread just sets the governor to hotplug, and the I/O to noop. You could do both, the only conflict would be what CPU Governor and I/O scheduler would be applied.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Alright thanks I'll just run the one from here :)

Added modding your services.jar!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes, fully tested. I'll try modding it again, see if that fixes the problem. Are you on a .215 or .214 based ROM? That services.jar is from .211. Are you on a CM9 or AOKP based ROM? It might work on .211 and .215 but it will not work on CM9 or AOKP.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
Love the post and I have utilized some of the tips given so big thanks for it.

However, I abhor 3g, so I leave my 4g on. However, here is what I did:

Purchased Juice Defender Ultimate. It turns off the radio when the screen goes off plus some other things.

I have SetCPU set up to use the hotplug governor and set the max cpu to 600 when the screen goes off.

SetCPU is set to NOT allow the CPU to go above 800 when the battery is < 50%.

When I did this, my phone lasted me for over 18 hours. At 18 hours, I was down to 20% battery. As it is, I plug my phone in at night to charge. Plus, since I'm the legal guardian for my elderly mother, my cell phone is the emergency number to contact me, so I must leave it on all the time.

I'm going to try turning off the 4g and see how much more I get out of it sometime this week. I'm thinking since JD turns off the radio when the screen goes off, it might not make much difference since my test was with minimal usage of the phone (no games, texting and phone calls, some internet use).

Curious to see just how much more savings I can squeeze out, but still, for me 18 hours with use for texting and phone calls is pretty darned good for me. Better than my X2 got with an extended battery.

Now, of course when it comes to playing my games, I always leave the phone plugged into the outlet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
Question about the "Wifi on while asleep" always. I have Juicedefender so mobile data kicks off while screen is off. I have "Wifi on while asleep" set to never. Shouldn't I keep it this way to save battery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Your choice, having "Wifi on Sleep" set to "Always" causes wifi to stay on if you're connected to a network while the screen is off. So having it set to "Always" keeps functionality but saves less battery. Setting it to "Never" would save more battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] en.pisang:
Very long post but really a great tips.. hehehe :good: :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
FYI, with SetCPU, for Screen Off: it's not just 300/300 causing problem, but anything max, if the minimum is 300, RAZR can crash randomly - especially if u have a program running when the screen auto-shut off. this is true using hotplug and hotplugX. then ull have to hard reboot it.

i dont think its true when im using interactive/ondemand...

just some caution.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
I'll add this, though I've never had the problem.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kristiangmez:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
I was wondering how do I pull the wallpapers out of a rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Wallpapers will have to be extracted from the apks where they reside. Look in any inside /system/app that have wallpaper in the name, and sometimes in the launcher. You can use 7zip to extract the apks (or apktool to decompile them). Inside the apk, most useful images are in /res/drawable-hdpi.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] docmccoy:
Ok, well the title can be a little misleading. I have a U8800-51 and screwed up by putting the GB update on it that was listed on Huawei's website. Well not Im screwed lol the phone boots into GB fine but and I can make calls but it gets no data at all so I cant install clockwork or anything. it is rooted.

But when I hook it up to the pc in pink screen it doesnt see it, according to the device manager it can find the drivers and neither can i.

What to do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
This is normal, because huawei has lock this function on gb rom.

You can use remount and es file explorer to mount this partiton and made some changes from device. Also there is a thread "get pink screen back" on the forum in which you can flash(or copy via adb if you haven't access on recovery) the previous(518) unlocked bootloader.

Of course, because all these are for regular U8800, is better to try flash a rom suitable for your device. Maybe some of the above don't work for you, or worst lead to other problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BStinsonWhadup:
After much reading through these forums, coming from never having flashed a ROM before, I was able to successfully flash and am thus enjoying CM9. I had been waiting for this to come out for the Skyrocket since I bought the phone last year, so, thanks :)

My question(s) is in relation to CWM Touch. I would like to update CWM to CWM Touch.

1) Is CWM Touch going to foul up any part of CM9? (that is, prior to CM9 i had CWM installed, but now due to "internetz confusionz" am unsure if the current version of CWM after CM9 flash, is one that came with CM9, or not)

2) Where I've read to basically never go near ROM Manager for flashing CM9 for now, what about using it to update its own CWM to CWM Touch? I see the option to do so but when I click it, it reads along the lines of "You must first install CWM before installing Touch"....which i thought i...or at least CM9 did..see question 1.

3) Alternate method to #2, I found " download.clockworkmod.com / recoveries / recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.3-skyrocket.zip "and have downloaded it. I thought perhaps I could simply flash this through CWM itself (due to another post somewhere saying this was ok, but it referenced a SGS2, not a skyrocket). Will doing it this way force me to reinstall CM9 (as yet, still other, posts on the internetz would have me believe?)

Overall the goal is to end up with CWM Touch and not have to reinstall CM9 as i've spent far too long customizing the crap out of (and enjoying) it.

thanks!

To answer your question, recovery has NOTHING whatsoever to do with a ROM. They are completely independent. You can flash any recovery and it will not affect your ROM. Some ppl had issues with the new CWM recovery so I would recommend you to stay away. I do not know if it was fixed. I would highly recommend sk8terwiki's (sorry sk8 if I butchered the spelling :)) 5.5.0.4 v4.2 recovery in the dev section. Its the one I use and it gets the job done. He has a zip that you can flash in CWM. I have not used TWRP but heard good things about it. To install twrp just get goo manager from market, hit menu->install open recovery script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BStinsonWhadup:
rolled the (weighted) dice based on swisser's response.

I "Installed" CWM via Rom Manager. What this really did was update me from 5.0.0.27 to 5.8.4.3 for the skyrocket (after i chose it from a menu).

*As discussed 30 something pages deep in the CM9 General thread, this **BROKE** the ability to flash anything from *EXTERNAL* SD Cards. Flashing from Internal worked fine, so I rebooted my phone and copied over the 5.8.4.3 CWM Touch i had downloaded from the site in my first post, to my Internal SD Card. Rebooted back to CWM and flashed from internal SD and now i have CWM Touch Working.

I've run out of tools and toys to flash so i haven't tested if CWM Touch will flash from External SD, but according to that thread, it does.

One thing i've noticed *MISSING/REMOVED.../Moved(?)* (basically i couldnt find the ****er) was the ability to Mount USB Storage while in CWM. This was a handy escape route for me previously and i'm sad to see it (seemingly) gone in both TOUCH and NONTOUCH 5.8.4.3
