[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lonely_Boz:
I'm sorry, but unfortunately i didn' understand you what you mean:(

Well, i tested a lot of ROM's (MW, ICS Nikez Sandvold Oxy) and i've notice that there isn't a kernel or ROM problem, it's just battery problem.

My battery is still working, but it doesn't work well. I've bought the battery 1,5 years ago, and this is my second battery (genuine HTC battery).

I've also problems with my first battery.

I don't know, should i buy a new battery? If yes, which battery do yu suggest, genuine or another?

And i don't have any good experiences with HTC batteries. Perhaps i didn't use the batteries well.

Known issues/workarounds

• 4.1 ONLY: After the post flash reboot, the device will reboot itself.

This appears to be harmless at this point. I will look into it.

• Ringtones duplicates.

Rebuild your media database. Settings -> Applications -> All (tab) -> Look for "Media Storage". Select and "Clear Data".

• General FC's

Generally clear data for the particular application will resolve the issue.

• Deep Sea LWP will crash on reboots.

It will work again after few seconds. Not dug into the cause yet.

• CLOCK: Smart Alarm ringtone, no effect.

Will be fixed in 4.1

• CLOCK: Desk Clock -> Dock settings FC

Will be fixed in 4.1

I assume you still use the same recovery as previous Embryo versions.

Compatible with Cymbaline 1.5?

Great job on all the roms and other stuff you have put out.

1 question. when i install this rom on my phone, can i flash this over GB or do i have to do the latest odin 1 click ics? sorry if this is in the wrong place but i figure i would ask here since this is the rom i want to install.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Yes, I am using the same recovery as detailed in EMBRYO-3.2 thread. Although I have made it recovery agnostic, i.e. I am relying on really really basic recovery functions.

Yes..

Weather widget doesn't work though -- I'm using Apex launcher

It is listed under installed apps, but doesn't show up as an addable widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] latinohot:

Do I still need to flash the old weather on lockscreen zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
I have a placeholder for weather info on lockscreen, but it shows "unable to display weather data"

I've tried to refresh weather data with no luck

*edit*

Possible we need to move the weather apps back to system to resolve?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Workaround

No, no. Folks Please DO NOT TRY TO FLASH APK's from somewhere else or previous releases. You will FC all over the place. Especially the core system and framework APK's...you have be warned :)

No dont move anything, just wait for some time or reboot..it should show up.... Also the weather widget is from SGS3, so it is quite possible you will have to remove and add it back, especially if you have restored the Apex settings back..

WORKAROUND: It looks the daemon does not start..workaround just add the AccuWeather widget into one of the HomeScreen and it should show up..and then you can remove the widget..

I'm downloading now, but can you tell me whether or not you left in the in-call background noise suppression toggle in this ROM or will I need to flash a separate phone.apk? I still have the flashable zip from 3.2 that you created just in case it's needed and nothing has changed with the dialer.

Has anybody else had issues with the smartassv2 governor on the included version of Cymbaline on 4.1? I've run Cymbaline before and never had an issue. CPU Spy (and the System Tuner App) show that the phone is always either in Deep sleep or at the maximum frequency when the smartassv2 governor is selected. No matter what, it never scales to other frequencies.

I think I'll flash the latest Cymbaline from that thread over it to see what kind of results I get. Strange. Everything else is working great.

Update: Flashed Cymbaline 1.5 (cleared cache and dalvic cache) and still the same behavior with SmartassV2 governor. Weird, I'd swear it worked right before. For now, I'm trying out SavagedZen. It seems to be scaling correctly at the moment. Set voltages back to stock just to make sure and it didn't make any difference on SmartassV2.

Now this is one thing I've not tried to do.

I also have horrible battery life. Even after several full drain/charge cycles, the max i've gotten was 16 hours on a full charge. 1.5 hours of talk, 1 hour of screen time. nothing else at all.

Before trying any custom rom, I was getting 18+ hours with a pretty good amount of usage. I guess trying the stock kernal wouldn't hurt anything. The only thing I really like about the included kernal is I've noticed a great deal less heat when talking on the phone which is a huge plus for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
It must have been a bad download because I got it again, put it on my sd and it installed first try. Now I know how to check the MD5. :)

I'm not liking how the home screen background acts. It zooms way in on it because it's sized for a not scrolling background when the picture is selected, but scrolls when screens are changed.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Thanks, I appreciat that. Needless to say it's the right checksum now.

Is something up with the home screen wallpaper? In the selection process the box is shaped in such a way as it was when the background does not scroll. But it actually does scroll, so it's zoomed way in to give room for scrolling. I'm not sure if that makes sense. The orange box is the size of the home screen, rectangular taller than wider. On the version that scrolls the orange box was rectangular wider than taller to give scrolling area. I'm not complaining though! :) Nice work.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

I use CPU Timelines so I can see how much of the CPU is being used. I'm running whatever came with Embryo 4.1 and the CPU usage is very minimal, whereas before on a stock phone there was some usage all the time. Check it out.... It's pretty cool because it shows a history on your notification drop down like a graph. Clicking on it takes you to the screen to see what's using it. Sort by CPU usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Ok, here is what I am getting for battery (yes, moderate usage) (the cpu spy capture was done, 12 hrs before).

Yes, it's moderate use. Remember:

* I am using the default kernel settings, which is as CLOSE to STOCK you will get (you can pull /proc/config.gz).

* Please do NOT play around with governors/oc/uc/ov/uv if you do NOT know how to tweak those governors, as I said in the OP for the kernel. I will not tweak them (i.e. the setting), you are provided with the knobs, do some research and do it yourself. A wrong tweak is guaranteed to have unwanted side effects. If you do NOT wish to tweak and remain in "stock" mode, remove all your CPU tuner apps (in case they left something behind, i.e. uninstall them) remove any init.d tweaks, if you have any.

But some of the included governors, if tweaked correctly can give you outstanding batt. life, you just have to play around with it.

About the wallpaper scroll..I am assuming you are talking about TW30 launcher, sammy removed it. But if you flash the full size image crop in the add-on, then you will get the scrolling effect..hopefully understood that correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] st0nez0r:
I used the included kernal in 4.1, and did not modify it. after 4 hours if idle/deep sleep the phone would be down to 80%

Now, last night I flashed the original stock kernal on, and after 9 hours i'm down to 79%

I will report back after normal phone usage and let you know if there is any difference.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] st0nez0r:
Yesterday, with similar usage I got 16 hours before the phone died completely. I was using cymbaline 1.5 (which I absolutely love as it doesn't get as hot when talking etc.. )

Today, on stock kernal I got much better results. The screenshot shows at 5%, however i'm currently still using the phone. 2% left and total 22 hours of up-time.

I'm not really sure what the difference, or problem is.

Your battery stats appear to be close enough given your usage pattern. Anyways can you flash this kernel (no bln, i.e. it is completely disabled)..I am just curious...

EDIT: Regarding SGS3 MusicPlayer, nope sorry it is not going into the ROM. As the sound effects not going to work..and the amount of effort it will take to port it to UCLF6....I could write the same app brand new :)...

Taking in effect that the first thing I do every morning is look at the news and watch some videos. Battery life has been a great improvement over any other kernal rom combination I have used.

I see this as an answer to a lot of people's battery problems across xda. Frankly, this isn't a solution to whatever the problem is. Surely it works for some people for certain situations but people should stop throwing this out there as the end all be all solutions to fixing battery drain issues. I'm willing to bet that wiping battery stats is an actual fix for less than 5% of battery drain issues.

Sure will mohan. I'll report back with results in a day or so.

I've tried juice defender. I didn't see any noticeable results. Many people actually suggest that JD does more harm than good with ICS. I personally don't have proof other than it didn't help - but searching xda, the 1st thing people will say is if you're using ICS is to stop using JD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ya, I never thought that this would be a "a fix for battery drain issues". But I have seen peeps say that batt stat corruption can happen post rom flash. So, if somebody is having "odd" battery after a flash and when most people are not, then why not rule that out first. Start fresh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ReedX50v:
Battery stats are located in /data/system/. So, every time you flash a new rom or factory reset, they should have been wiped.

It is useful in the sense that Android never actually has any idea exactly how much power your batt. has or even if it is actually 100% full. It uses the voltage of the battery, amp draw, and previous experience to guess.

Sometimes, you can even make it do odd things by suddenly increasing the power draw. When it's low, a sudden increase in power draw can cause the voltage of the batt to drop suddenly and the phone may think it is empty and power off. If you power it back on, you can see it then thinks there is, for example, 20% left. Guesses, my friends.

Number one cause of unwanted battery drain will be an app keeping the phone awake or using too much data constantly updating.

JuiceDefender just wastes system resources doing what you could do manually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Thanks, Reed, for probably the most intelligent answer I have seen yet..this should be stickied..and since I removed the damn notifications (both full and charged) in 4.1 :) on your own now..

Same with you, I'm still with 4.0. Did a complete install after initial bad flash from stock root. Spent like the whole weekend restoring apps & preferences, then a day or so later, 4.1 came and official update came out after that.

Thing is, by that time, 4.0 started to settle. My battery life got better, browser started working after flash re-install and BLN just worked a few days later. Had to uninstall the BLN app I downloaded the first day I flashed.

I then flashed the latest UCLF6 kernel & radio when it came out and so far it's been butter. Battery life is better than my old stock root. About 22 hrs on moderate use with stock battery and a day and a half with my other 2100mah battery (from Verizon nexus). It wouldn't last 12 hrs. before with stock root.
