[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
First sorry for my bad english and hello to all developers!

I find somethig interestring about battery drain! Gsam battery monitor always show high Android System (not Android Os) battery use - 90% and higher regardless wifi(not over 5% battery drain) or edge, 3g (not over 20% battery drain) is on, with or without autosync, with or without widgets. Last night i restar the phone with egde leaving on and with standard widgest and autosync on and in the morning i lost 8% of battery. This we can call a regular batery drain for stock rom.

Interstring is that again Android System was 97% batery drainer. So i download some of launchers from google play just for fun and set Nemus launcher as default just for test, and viola! In matter of minutes my android system battery drain drop from 97% to 19% , and Nemus launcher is stady at 3% of battery use. And Phone radio is about 60-70% battery percent like it should be because i didnt use my phone and data is on.

On lg stock launcher all animation are off !

My phone now does not drain visibly battery percentage when i only scrolling apps or adding-removing widgest or even turn on wifi and browsing with stock browser, and phone heating is barely noticeable.

Only conclusion of mine is that Optimus UI 3.0 is huge battery drainer for some reasons and that is odd because people say is more "lighter" than launchers from htc and samsung.

In matter of battery drain i already did factory reset and delete cache partition before with no luck!

go launcher

what about go ex.do you think it a heavy app ? will it use more battery than nemus?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
I use nemus because is simple with simple settings, and after i wrote my post i found that one user on xda forum have the same conclusion about optimus ui v3.0, and he said that go ex is more demanding than nemus!

I didnt use go ex, to much settings to much time for me
[LG Optimus 4X HD] iceddeath:
about the battery life.

i dont know why, but when im still using v10f. when i went to sleep, the next morning it only dropped about 1-2%...

but now using v10h, the amount is really different, it dropped more than 10%. no wifi or data network on.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
Same thing with my phone after update to stock 10h!

It doesnt mather if wifi or 3g are on or off, same with autsync! Over night 8 to 20 % of battery drain!

Nemus launcher(few posts before) helps to minimze batt drain when using phone light..but over night..pure battey sucking hole..

I am not a expert, but i had android smartphones from the begining, from samsung galaxy i7500 until now..a have diferent brands..lg, samsung, htc..and this is the only phone that have battery drain that i cant figure out! Better battery stats shows that nothing drain batt , except androyd system (90% and more) even widgets are turnd off, autosync off, dataconnetion off,youtube and talk singout, location like services unchecked like the os doesnt realy turn this things off! And i tried factory reset, clearing cache, even purchased second original battery!

Strange thing i must say!

I know root and removing apps probably would help.. but...i buy phone for using ..if i wont root, and testing, and finding solution for battery drain..then i be working in lg or diferent smartphone company..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] padixer2013:
Has anybody used apps like Juice defender etc? there seems to be good feedback on them.

I have recently got this phone and yes battery drain is a problem. I hardly get 15-20 hrs. I am on V10E

For me Cell Standby and Phone idle is highest usage at 31% and 27% resp.

Have been going through this thread and implemented many of the work arounds, but still not very not very good

I know that rooting will help, but want to go on for some time without as might screw up the warranty..

Any help suggestions ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Manholas:
Nova luncher

Have you iuse the "New luncher"? Do not know if it's lighter than NEMUS would like if possible to have an opinion. I used the NOVA and really liked it.

I have a question, if I have an active luncher alternative, the optimus ui v3.0 does not consume battery?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
It is simple! Just test it!

For example, when i use lg stock launcher my android system use 70-95% battery, and if i dont touch phone after 3-4 or more hours the % of batt for android system is the same. But when i use nemus launcher , yes android system batt usage goes also very high but after some time of deep sleep the android system batt % drop rapidly, and nemus launcher batt % doesnt go over 10%, and batt % of phone idle and cell standby take control!

If your non stock launcher (nova, nemus, go ex..and others) is doing the same thing, rapidly drop android system batt % then is good to go, and the optimus ui 3.0 is also just an app and therefore doesnt consume power (but if that is 100% for sure than we never have discussions like this, and problems like batt drain :) )

If you have root than you can freeze (disable) lg stock home launcher and home selector , but before you need to install (you already have) custom launcher and set to default launcher, that is 100% sure for no power consume of stock lg launcher.

I really do not have time to test this because i use and need my phone every day, so i just use the launcher with simpler settings and less options ! But i must say, less options, and lower size app is not always battery friendly :) it depends of course how is it made!

And if You have some of your time free, do the test, pick some launcher , test it in same conditions, for two, or one day each and post here that everyone can see which launcher consumes less power!

Hi, I'm newbie in developing android platform.

I want to modify parts of android platform, build it, and install it my gt-n7000.

I could find several instructions for building and porting kernel part into the device using odin, however, I cannot find how to install entire part of platform.

I think custom ROM is kind of modified android platform, am I right??

The thing is,

1. I want to know hwo to install the files produced by building android platform in the galaxy note gt-n7000.

2. is Custom ROM the modified version of android platform?? what is the clear definition??

Also i though there was a thread here on xda and he was answering really quick and with quick updates too

but i don't know why he deleted it.

It was deleted because the dev didn't make a trial or free version of his theme.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarki:
Hi,

well ICS has finally landed in my corner of the globe.

Unfortunately, the Samsung idiots have decided to roll it out even if it still bricks phones, sometimes even at startup...

So, my phone hasn't yet heard Samsung's call for an upgrade and I'd prefer not to do anything stupid.

Formerly, I was on a GB rooted rom that I updated to the last GB (unroot, then update via KIES).

The fact is, I want to know if there is any possibility for me to flash to an ICS rom directly ?

So far I understood that I can possibly make it even with an unrootable GB thanks to Odin. But I'd prefer not to mess up with my precious...

Thanks in advance for you help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulinglionadi:
You have to go back to a rooted GB...i prefer KL3 and only then flash the custom ICS roms..its the safest method...you can know more in the videos. ..links are in ky sig.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes you can flash directly with odin

Here is thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

You may find installation and rooting guide link at starting of ICS listing.

Just to add, if you want best performance then take backup(there is limited scope on non rooted) and wipe cache and wipe data from recovery before flashing ICS.

Edit : oh sorry just i read header you need custom ics, i wrote above is for stock ics.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarki:
Thanks a lot for your quick answers!

Actually I wanted to switch directly to RocketRom, but it seems that I need first to have a stock rooted phone. :/

So if I get it well:

If unrootable GB ROM:

1/ Flash to stock ICS using Odin

2/ Flash safe custom kernel such as speedmod

My question there is, can I do both

at once

using Odin?

1/ Flash to stock ICS using Odin

(Still with the french one? It's deemed as being unsafe, any particular recommendation?)

2/ Root the phone with the third post on dr.ketan's amazing thread :laugh:

3/ Flash to safe custom kernel such as speedmod using CWM

Right?

So if I understand well, the issue is because of the "erase rom" method present on ICS stock kernel is not supported properly by the faulty emmcs ?

So unless on a "safe" kernel: No wipe/full wipe/reset. right?

Sorry for my messy post...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tholius:
Please see post 3 for the 'worse' update

-------

Hello,

Just a bit of background - have had my galaxy I-9000 for 1-2 years now, had been running dramatically slow, so upgraded it to 2.3.6 (GINGERBREAD.XWJW6) & it runs a lot faster. Unfortunately, it has many more "optus apps" which I detest.

I'm looking to "reboot" the phone - which from reading some threads means "rooting" the phone. My questions relating to this are:

1. If I 'root' the phone, will my contacts/messages be retained, or is it a complete wipe of the phone

2. How exactly do I 'root' the phone? Is there a thread that shows you (I've seen threads, but they are technical, & I become confused when they start mentioning roms etc)

Furthermore, as far as I've read, after you 'root' your phone, you have to install a ROM, for example "SLIM ICS" (what's ICS stand for?)

I've also read, but I'm not sure that because the firmware I've upgraded to is relatively new - that 'rooting' is not yet available? Is this also true?

Thanks for your help =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .c0dy:
1. Rooting doesn't wipe anything. Maybe cache or/and dalvik cache uf you flash with cwm.

2. Look for cf-root kernel thread.

There is a step-by-step guide and the needed rooted kernels.

You will need, Odin, the kernel.tar file and the phones Downloadmode (volume down + home + power)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tholius:
Hello again,

Well my phone seems to have shat itself? It comes up with the "black screen of death," but I have been able to get to the downloadable screen.

I wanted to know how to recover it, I am no tech wizard, but this is the stuff I have:

- ODIN v1.85

Please tell me what else I need, I'm guessing a ROM?

I will be forever grateful, thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicocolegyneco:
if you have the download mode, you have to flash properly the GB JVU, then to flash the CF root for JVU to become root and have access to CWM. then you can upgread to ICS

So an update!!!

Black screen of death, diverted!!! (phew)

Flashed to 2.3.6 XXJVU

Rooted it as well

Now looking for a ROM to put in...

Now because I'm on 2.3.6, does that mean I can only get the "SURFACE" ROM? What's the advantage of changing ROMS anyway?

Another update guys!

Well I flashed it, then rooted it (see now I'm using proper lingo =P) XXJVU

Then finally put on CM7 which makes everything faster, for now I think it is okay, although I think I will update it later as I want more whizzbang!

Another problem I encountered was getting all the contacts, kies saved as SPD file which wasn't recognised - had to save it as VCR/vcard file, then merge all of it together into one file - I learned how to use DOS too!

So literally 8 hours later (slept at 430 am, now its 730 =P) this is it for now, thanks everyone for helping so much

Hey,

Yesterday I got a sort-of-refurbished Nexus S (I9023) which was apparently not in such a good shape...

Had problems flashing the system and userdata partitions (kept saying they were flashed fine but after reboot went back to their previous state).

Stupidly, I followed some tip without actually reading up on it and ended up formatting my bootloader partition.

Now, what I get is just a black screen no response or anything but using a tool called UnBrickable Mod I can get it back to fastboot mode and then boot into a recovery image and have adb access.

All in all, I am currently stuck cuz I want to flash a new bootloader image but what i get when i do that is:

~ # nandwrite /dev/mtd/mtd0 /bootloader.img
Skipping bad block at 0x00000000
Skipping bad block at 0x00040000
Skipping bad block at 0x00080000
Skipping bad block at 0x000c0000
Writing at 0x00100000
Writing at 0x00140000
Writing at 0x00180000
Writing at 0x001c0000
nandwrite: not enough space in MTD device

I have read that NAND blocks tend to go bad when continuously being flashed, but 50% bad blocks on the bootloader partition? Seems pretty unlucky...

Anyone know any solution for this?

Is it possible to resize the partitions without any JTAGing or writing custom bootloaders?

Thanks for trying to help!
