[Defy Themes and Apps] corrinti:
So u can take quarx' for defy or epsylon's latest nightly.

What ROM r u now?
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
MIUI Pikachu 2.3.7

I`ll take epsylon`s latest nightly ROM. Can you help me to choose one because I`m really confused. I dont know which one to download,I live in Serbia,Europe,if it is important. What version to choose from here? Its the index of CM9 roms for Defy. Thanks!
[Defy Themes and Apps] krkdesigns:
Flash epsylon3's latest cm9 froyo build ... data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe... flash the latest froyo kernal, then the latest build, n then latest gapps... then wipe data, cache,dalvik cache again. reboot enjoy.

Kernel: http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip

Rom: http://defy.wdscript.fr/defy-cm9/CM9-NIGHTLY-120714-Defy.zip .

gapps: goo.im/gapps

Bootanimation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28969491

Download the latest ics gapps from there. And also try the new bootanimation i made for defy.
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
I dont know how to thank you!

And be sure that I'll try your bootanim soon as possible!
[Defy Themes and Apps] krkdesigns:
No problem, u can hit the Thanks button :p ..... If u try the bootanimation please share ur thoughts in that thread.
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
So,just to be clear:

1. Flash froyo .sbf using RSD Lite

2. Root and install some recovery

3. Wipe data,cache,dalvik,everything and flash latest froyo kernel (from your post)

4. Then flash ICS ROM

5. Then flash GAPPS

6. Wipe data,cache,dalvik again.

7. Reboot

Is this correct?
[Defy Themes and Apps] krkdesigns:
When u reboot the phone wait for the Blue LED. As soon as you see the Blue LED press the Volume Down button, it might take you into the Recovery. I dont think you need to install a recovery. Pickachu Rom might have a recovery already installed. So no need to flash sbf. Either way u dont need to flash SBF. You just have to install a recovery and then follow other steps. You told me that u have pickachu rom right, so i gues its already rooted and a recovery will be built in. or when u press and hold the unlock button , do u get reboot > reboot into recovery.
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
Yes,and blue light appears everytime I turn on the phone. I know I have a recovery- 2ndinit. So,I just need to wipe everything and flash latest froyo kernel,then ICS,then gapps,and wipe all again?
[Defy Themes and Apps] krkdesigns:
Yes thats right. You are good to go.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Make sure Your battery level is good. Over 70%
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
Thank you very much! Gonna flash it right now! :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
Works like a charm! So smooth for the first boot! Thank you so much,I wish there is more people like on this forum! :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] krkdesigns:
I dint know anything about these flashing, unlocking rooting until i started following threads everyday. Thanks to the Devs here. Glad it worked. Follow epysylon3's thread for new updates, he also started compiling JB CM10 for defy green lens. Install solid explorer from market its a good explorer and then dfownload the bootanimation from my thread. Go to root/system/media, replace the boot animation.
[Defy Themes and Apps] markos807:
I tried you bootanimation,and its... too simple,no offense :)

Try to make,for example, DEFY text to explode,and set M logo to fire or something :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
I'm trying to mod an existing custom rom for my own use. Im just changing some pngs.

I unzip it, use formatter to change framework res apk to rar, unpack it. Change my pngs, repack it, use formatter to change back to apk. (Do I need to sign it?) Zip up the folder with 7zip, set compression as store.( is this correct) . But when I go to install it in cwm it wont install. I'm clearly missing a step. Someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cnorman76:
Yesterday i flashed if i remember the 223 leak. I flashed from 905, rooted with razor ics root. I went in to sqlite and changed the setting to get the free hotspot and than rebooted. Now on my top banner the wifi icon and my signal icon stay gray! They never got to blue! I have data service but the are always gray. Also later my signal strength went noticeably lower than before i flashed! Any help would be great! ...... also i just noticed that my browser is talking! Had chrome installed, couldn't find anything in the settings so i uninstalled and went to reinstall. Play store says that NOW its not compatible with my device! And now my stock browser is talking to me! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
One thing at a tine.

Browser talking - check you're accessibility settings, see if Talkback is enabled.

For the GNow, that does not come with the ICS leaks. Either you installed an unofficial leak, or you installed GNow before the leak, or you installed it after the leak. There is a thread in XDA that details how to get GNow working in ICS.

For the sqlite mod, change the string back. Foxfi is free, doesn't require root, and works.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cnorman76:
Thanks, I FXZed back and reloaded everything no sqlite no root and everything seems good! Still lost data for a while last night but l don't have great service at home! Might root later today, we'll see!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cnorman76:
I do have one more question! If i go from .233 can i just flash .235 or do i need to FXZ again?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
Each time you try to flash a new ics leak you HAVE TO FLASH BACK TO 902/905

if you flash to 235 YOU CAN NOT FLASH BACK TO 902/905 but you can only move foward

I recommend you stay on 232 unless you dont care about flashing back to gb
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
If people are going to keep stating this, then they need to qualify it with the fact that you can still install GB roms on the safe side. You can even put .905 stock back on safe or unsafe using the backup restore within Safestrap (if you have the stock .905 backup file that is). There's a lot of scare about .235, but all you have to do is change how you flash and you don't "lose" anything. **Wonder if I will have to make another tutorial for people on .235...goodness**
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian...:
What? We have a locked boot loader... can't run .235 on one side and .905 on the other lol

What he said was correct.. you cannot use RSD lite to fxz back to .902/.905 with .235 so unless you're a fool don't make the move... 232 is great

Finally Iced Out Legitimately... Bionic is back
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dougau:
You cannot go back to fully stock Gingerbread anything once you flash .235 so for the sake of newer users being thrown off the upgrade path and not being able to FXZ back to .905 we all should just leave it at that. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
Make a guide if you will and state the proper steps to do so
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dblkspecial:
I had one issue with. 232. I noticed the lock screen is useless. My home button unlicked the screen plus the notification bar scrolled down to unlock also lol. Other that that it amazing

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty1483:
Always when I'm using my S3 with Navigon, it discharges when connected with car charger.

I am using an original car charger by Samsung. Rom is in signature. Temp when navigating is around 48°C.

All of these things just let the discharging cycle last longer, but it is not gone. I know the problem from S2, but nothing helps on my S3. The problem just exists with Navigon.

What I tried:

- different charger

- set CPU freq to max 500 MHz when navigating

- Display brightness to min when navigating

- Set AC in Extweaks from 1000 to 1200 for testing purposes

Any suggestions from experts?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
I actually have the same issue on both my GS3 and Galaxy Nexus. The problem here is that the car charger is not able to provide charge to the phone at the rate at which it discharges. So it will keep discharging unless you get a charger which can charge at a faster rate (higher the Amp, the faster it will charge).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geargamer:
I am having the same problem and I just talked to a buddy of mine (who is an electrician) and he told me that the charger needs to be the exact same volts(not amps) as what the phone/battery needs. If the charger puts out more or even less it could harm the battery and even the phone itself. If I got this right my old charger was working at 500mah I think the s3 is supposed to charge at 1A.(if I'm understanding all this right) I was trying to use my old charger with my new s3 because they both use micro usb and I thought it would work. Well, it does charge the phone but doesn't charge at the rate required thus my phone is discharging faster than it is charging. I hope this helps and sorry if I forgot anything. Btw he has been an electrician for well over 20years. (I want to add I tried to repeat everything like he told me because I personally don't know much on this subject) helpfully someone else can explain it better. Good luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I would have to agree with circuit89, you need a charger with higher Amps. All usb chargers provide 5 volts. as that is the sub standard, but a standard usb port on the computer is only 500mA, i think the standard charger that comes with the s3 provides 1A, and I think that is the minimum that you need to be able to charge while using gps etc.

A charger with a higher current will no damage the device, it just means it can provide up to that current, so it will provide up to as much as the phone can accept, or it's maximum output.

in short you need a car charger which provides a higher current to charge it faster so it will charge faster than the phone is discharging.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
if you can pre-cache maps with that app then that would probably help, that is seriously high battery drain, might even be linked to Google maps running in the background, if you are rooted try and freeze maps with titanium before your next journey and see if it helps :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geargamer:
I liked the article. I think it explained it well. The info I got from my buddy was very technical and was probably way more info than I needed but this does bring up another question. What is the highest mah I can use with my s3. I read somewhere on here that it will only change as fast as the phone will allow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I'm not sure that it is rated at but I've used my ipad charger to charge my S3 (2.1A) and it does charge it pretty fast.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geargamer:
So if I understand this right your phone should be charging twice as fast( if it using the hole 2.1A) compared to the 1A charger that came with the phone right? Have you checked to see how long it takes to fully charge? I was thinking about buying a 2.1A charger.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
Have you tried undervolting? May help a bit. Also increasing charge from usb port.also switch off screen when not needed

Sent via TCP/IP
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty1483:
I have UV with -100mV on all frequency steps. Perhaps I have to say that I'm using the ORIGINAL Samsung S3 car charger with an output of 1A. Also the hint with freezing apps does not work, already tried that one. Because everything I read did not help, I asked the question here :laugh:

When I want to believe BatteryMonitor, I am connected to AC charge with 1000mA, not USB. When looking on the consumption in BatteryMonitor when not connected and running Navigon, 1000mA should be highly enough.

Weird...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tri0xinn:
I just bought a att sgs2 on craigslist.. mint condition but the something is wrong with the usb connector in the phone.. I've tried a few different cables and they all work the same.. nothing when I plug them in but if I push the cable hard into the phone's usb connector it will work. So I need to replace it or just start using an external charger. Anyone have experience replacing one of these? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] slim1991:
The USB port is messed up u will need to replace that small part but only a expert or Samsung can repair that or u can just use an external charger
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocirahl:
lol, good luck with that. You're going to need some pretty legit soldering skills, IIRC. You might be better off just replacing the mainboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
If your phone is less than a year old you can get it replaced under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] js40667173:
It is a fairly easy repair if you have basic repair skills (no soldering is required).

The charging port is part of a separate pcb/ribbon cable assembly, which you can obtain from several on-line sellers (sorry, but I cannot post any URL's).

Also, there are several videos on youtube that will show you exactly how to disassemble the i777 (and r&r the part).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
Thanks for that info. I've been concerned about the sturdiness/longevity of the usb connector on this phone since the day I got it. I've always been very careful with it, but things happen y'know. This is good to know because, even though it's covered by warranty, when/if mine decides to go I know it will be on day 366 of my ownership. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Works in CM10 and other CM10-based ROMs.

Philosophy:

- Experimental > may not be stable.

- Based on CyanogenMod's kernel base and built with Linaro 4.7.

- Handpicked performance patches and mods kept to a minimum.

- Interactive governor - the way Google wants us to use Android.

- Bull**** free, no flashy words to induce placebo & no time lost in search for the everchanging "perfect threshold/tunables".

This kernel has been discontinued, I'm now using AOSP stock with thalamus kernel + BLN.

Bln is great feature for nexus, but do you think about adding bld also? Don't think of this as a req or anything, just asking because I love bld, it makes phone so much more elegant, so to now could we expect bld in the future releases.... Thanks mate...

legacy meaning this device its back last year, and im still using it... -.- Don't get me wrong, okay?

Anyway, flashed it on Unoffi CM10, it worked fine and battery didn't drain much on Interactive... :o
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Very true, I meant GCC 4.6.
[Nexus S Android Development] invd:
First of all: Thanks for the kernel! Trying it with JB AOSP and seems to be stable (not tried that much yet).

One question: does anybody know a tool to activate CM BLN for an AOSP rom? To make this clear: I'm not asking for integrating BLN into this kernel ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
CrespoParts.apk, but now im trying to implent it for JB.
[Nexus S Android Development] invd:
Great, thanks! Will try.

EDIT: Installation works, but CM BLN do not work. Trying now CM10 unofficial.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
BLN works in CM9, I could've added the version compatible with every ROM but meh. Same goes for BLD and touch wake. I'm somewhat lazy, especially because I believe thalamus will reconsider the BLN feature, thus rendering the side development of this kernel useless.

This kernel is aimed to please a niche: CM and thalamus kernel users who miss BLN. For a full featured kernel perhaps I'll come back when JB is out.
[Nexus S Android Development] spider623:
Guys does it work with isc or only jb. Thnx in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] WarCow:
Installed it on Unofficial CM10 and it's great. Performance is nice and smooth :) Btw, when i installed the kernel, Ondemand was selected as standard governor, is that in purpose? Thought you wanted Interactive to be standard.

BLN isn't working on CM10, but meh you wrote it in the OP so no big surprise.

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_INTERACTIVE=y; Must be being overriden by ramdisk, init.d or app on boot. Arf.
[Nexus S Android Development] _thalamus:
Yeah, it is overridden in either init.rc or init.herring.rc in the stock rom to ondemand, surprisingly enough.

Even Google know interactive is crap and expensive on crespo, which is why they override it. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

I must admit, I'm glad you haven't just taken my nice clean source and filled it with crap though. That would have made me unhappy.

BLN I can cope with, but no, I will never add it to my kernel, unless I choose to rewrite it of course. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Aye, init.herring.rc: "write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand", line 31.

Even on Jellybean this remains so. I guess they either forgot to change it or there must be a reason to favour ondemand during boot. It just doesn't make sense undergoing through all the trouble to boost and work on interactive, including on Nexus S stock kernel, and then not using it. As for the theoretical higher energy consumption due to the more aggressive ramping, I've been reading reports from Samsung Galaxy Nexus users that are reporting better battery in Jellybean stock kernel with Interactive against custom kernels in ICS. While this may be due to other changes, it certainly doesn't discourage the use of 4.1's Interactive. I also don't believe Google would deliberately and significantly hurt battery performance. I've always defended the position that governor's ramping speed, while an undeniable variable, is also overrated. From my point of view, we can sacrifice 2-4% of higher energy consumption in exchange to a more pleasant and stutter-free experience.

As for the BLN, I do hope you'll include it soon!

Quoting thalamus: "IDLE2 – although the code / implementation is stable, there are some issues with the actual powersaving which is being attained, or not, as the case may be due to a bug which I haven’t found yet."
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Why has this been discontinued? I thought you were with us until september. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Because I stopped using CM10, it's still surprisingly sluggish. I'm now using the AOSP version I built and thalamus kernel with BLN.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Alright. I has a sad. But thanks for taking the time to answer.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Give AOSP a try. I'm also a CM fan and took some time getting over the lack of some features but AOSP is really smoother, at least for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] nexususer1:
Double agree:)
[Nexus S Android Development] Imppy:
Knzo what ROM are you running?
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I can't live without decent sound profiles + notification toggles. If someone could build that in the stock rom, I'd probably be running it. 3 way reboot is good too.

knzo is running AOSP he compiled himself. He has a thread in the dev forum dedicated to it.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Thanks for the suggestions. However I don't need a time based sound profile manager but rather a "simple" sound profile manager that I can activate at the touch of a button.

Whenever I'd set a notification sound in it I should be able to select which app notification sounds it overrides.

Widgetsoid looks good though, but I prefer the look of Notification Toggle.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Already using CM10...
[Nexus S Android Development] :
It isn't the galaxy nexus though. The galaxy nexus is a dual core omap.

Interactive has been optimised for SMP and auto hotplugging. It is used by default on nexus 7 too, and if you swap to ondemand, it is really sluggish.

We don't have SMP, so ondemand is the best for nexus s. All you will get by using interactive is higher CPU usage by cpufreq with no improvement in interactivity.

[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
I would also like to try interactive gov in jb kernel. Hope u can post update :)
[Nexus S Android Development] AdamG:
Don't know if you knew already but the only reason that the CM BLN doesn't work with other AOSP ROM's is because they changed the path's and went a non uniformed way once again as they did with the whole wireless module scenario. It is possible to modify their BLN code to retain compatibility with CM and also have it work with AOSP ROM's and NStools with just a couple of lines of code.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Updated, now working for JellyBelly ROM and probably other JB ROMs.
[Nexus S Android Development] robrob777:

[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
Ondemand is still the current governor.
[Nexus S Android Development] Imppy:
What settings you guys recommend for interactive governor? And the io to pair with it (deadline or noop)
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
It's overriden by ramdisk at boot. I could include a modified init.herring.rc in the package but it's easier if you just use some app to set interactive on boot.
[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
Yeap..I used nstools to set it to interactive. So far I luv ur kernel. It does improved responsiveness. Would further play with it. Thanks!

[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
No. U don't have to reflash. Go to cwm then select advance->fix permission

@knzo what is other app/way can be used to set governor to interactive? I think nstools is kind of buggy
