Well I'm just asking how everybody uses their phone and hoe much they can get with it. Not saying that the battery life just sucks. I'm supportng my battery life with details

And i don't use many widgets either. I took off my live wallpaper too,i waiting to see how that works out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] blazen2000:
aokp 17-20 hours EVERYTHING ON. Stock battery screen time about 35-45%. I unplug my phone from the charger at about 4:45am.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tvotony:
What version because when I was running it I never got more than 5 hours

How is your signal where you live? Do you use your phone as a mp3 player? Have you seen this yet?

Not everybody will get the same battery life. If you are getting good battery on another ics rom and not another it is user error. Even if you are getting good life on gb and that kind of life on a ics it is a user error. Next time just flash and dont restore any data at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hwchan:
My battery life problems are pretty much not there anymore. I'm running AOKP M6B3, and getting 16 hours with 25% left, mild data usage, Facebook, GMail push, GVoice push, always on 4G and wifi on too.

I think the key was a Heimdall to stock, then to AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Yep. That's what I've been recommending to people complaining with battery on CM9 and AOKP to do. My battery life is great, and I use GR every time I go to a new build.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hwchan:
Well, to be fair, I went stock to AOKP M6B1, installed apps. Then just did an upgrade flash to B2. But still, much better battery life.

I'm running M6 version/beta 3. Gremlin remover does work but I did not do that I flashed over remics and doing great. I clear the battery stats and use all aokp features such as turn off wifi data when screen is off. I also have auto bright on and screen time out after 15 seconds. You also want to stay away from rebooting to much that will kill the battery and I also heard task killers drain the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Im not here to convince you. A hundred people can report good battery life and then two people come and complain and people will start asking why.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bfleischman:
I looked for this problem being posted, but did not find it. Whenever I get a call, the ring volume starts out very low and then jumps after the first ring cycle. Is this a known issue and is there a fix.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
It's a feature. Look around and you can probably find a mod to fix it if you're rooted. This thread has the one for AT&T and UCALEM. This thread has it for AT&T and UCALG1.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm a flash-a-holic, and in order to facilitate my need for speed from my device, extended battery performance, and just the best overall experience from my phone (it's been a LONG time since I've ever been completely happy with one of my phones), I have started drawing up specs for an all-around Thrill tool which will incorporate all the tools into a fully automated process (with prompts for certain things of course asking that you confirm the action has been done if it can't be detected) to help speed up the process and take some of the guess work out of it all.

All-in-all I've reflashed my Thrill about 20+ times in the past 3 months, and while I've 'settled' for now, I see that with the hopefully upcoming ICS release, and the daunting task of flashing that is presented to all users currently, a tool which incorporates all steps of the process and attempts to simplify it to "Select which ROM you wish to flash" "it is recommended that you use X baseband for that ROM, however you can choose another at your own risk", and click Go, the rest of the process is handled by the tool, might be desired.

The aim of this tool would be to make first time flashers a little less intimidated by the plethora of steps required by simplifying them down as much as possible and handling as much as possible in the background. However it would also provide flash-a-holics like myself a quick system by which to refresh the ROM on the phone or switch to another to try it out.

Steps I'd like to see the tool perform for folks:

Flash baseband/stock ROM

Rooting (based on which version you select, it will select either SuperOneClick or Megatron automatically.)

Installing CWM (Touch only for select ROMs (or override with warning), regular otherwise for everyone else)

Copy to phone as update.zip the desired ROM

Optionally, should an overclocked Kernel be selected, afterwards, another update.zip for the Kernel.

I'd like some thoughts on this and some guidance before I start really digging in. Couple of my main questions are as follows:

First, is this even needed anymore with the plethora of information available? Yes, it coalesces most of those steps documented into a simple interface tool, however do people prefer to keep everything broken up, I know I don't, especially when it's all towards one goal.

If there is still a need/desire for a tool like this, how in-depth on options would people like to get?

What would the developers like to see available from a developer's standpoint?

What would the end-users like to see available from the interface?

I would love any feedback on this idea before I move forward so I have a clear picture of what it is that the community would like.

Thank you for your time and feedback folks.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
Welllll.

Acidhazard kitchen rom I know you have used. The build interface Is a great format to start with. Has a few automated tools built in. Probably a novice or advanced select. That would appeal to newbie and testers alike . An updatable base and tool would be great. Hunting for base bands is a pain and having it all in one handy tool would be lovely.
[LG Thrill 4G] SithLord2K:
This is a good idea. I would make it so it cannot flash a ROM if the correct baseband isn't there to help new people avoid bricks. I think that is the biggest fear for people new to flashing.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
The only way you would be allowed to override the baseband is if you were in advanced mode and filled in a checkbox accepting the consequences of your choice. I've had wrong baseband before and had a working phone with no service. It's possible it's not fun but it's possible, and yes, for basic mode it would be forced to only the accepted list of basebands for the ROM you wish to install.

The idea here is not to duplicate somebody else's work, but instead augment it and enhance it further. While his tool is awesome, it's also command line, my tool will end up being a user-friendly GUI. I would love to end up with a multi-ROM kitchen for the O3D and Thrill (P920 & P925 respectively) built into this tool, it's not a priority for the beginning. I will be studying heavily the scripts used by some of these wonderful tools in an effort to duplicate their efforts contained within a GUI. I don't plan on writing something that just runs these tools in the background and makes the selections for you, I'm talking a complete tool from the ground up. I think I may write a helper tool for inclusion to the ROMs it builds which I can use to help facilitate this process in a much more friendly manner. (So you have to touch the phone less.)
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
When you ready my scripts, just know, it's in English. Lmao.

Literally, command prompt code.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
This isn't my first ro-day-oh here guys... I'm the bastard that wrote the PeerGuardian 2 Vista Loader to get PG2 working on Vista when it was still in beta (and buggy as hell).
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/AOKP
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
LMFAO most languages are surprisingly in english, it's kinda weird, cause I know a couple that were NOT developed here in America or the UK.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
Then you are also my hero. That came in handy when the rest of us where screaming at our machines having dealt with Vista and any torrent work.

I was under the impression your original plan here was to utilize the tools and data available from various sources "AcidHazard, Megatron and so on" to achieve the wonderful multipurpose and expandable tool you have decided to develop. We are here to help. More especially since your calling upon it. Plenty of communication , feedback, and patience is what I prescribe here. That being laid out :fingers-crossed: we can continue.

Ok so with all respect, credentials, history, contribution, and hero work established and being taken in to consideration as I type lets define a few of your plans further and designs ideas further so we might better contribute to your efforts. This is an awesome idea and I think its something we all need desperately. I realise the following will seem very redundant and you may feel its unnecessary but trust me it will help everyone from this point on.

Question 1

The principal function of this tool is to perform the primary tasks associated with rooting, flashing, and customizing? This would initially entail the following core tasks?

Flash baseband/stock ROM

Rooting (based on which version you select, it will select either SuperOneClick or Megatron automatically.)

Installing CWM (Touch only for select ROMs (or override with warning), regular otherwise for everyone else)

Copy to phone as update.zip the desired ROM

Optionally, should an overclocked Kernel be selected, afterwards, another update.zip for the Kernel.

Question 2

Your plan is to use and or augment current work and material already available to achieve the majority of the above tasks essentially wrapping it all up in a very nice and tidy singe tool?

Question 3

Your goal in the front or interface is to have a GUI and stay away from automated command line ?

Question 4

How in depth and to what degree did you want to deal with any updates. Baseband and so on? Will files pull from a server, file host or other source? Or shall it be with the interface itself and the user hunts for the files then points to where they are located?

Question 5

How will devs offer there roms to your tool? Probably directly related to Q4.

Question 6

Where the heck is Waldo?

Question 7

Can you provide us with a little copy paste form for us to add feature requests? Should make things much simpler when your sifting threw the thousand posts your gonna get when this thing is live.
[LG Thrill 4G] pandaball:
(continued)

Question 8: Why is this not in General?

Anyway, I think that some bits are pretty much impossible, for example flashing the baseband since you need the LGMobileTool for that or SmartFlash, command prompt or adb or fastboot won't work for this at all. Otherwise I would say it's doable, but it probably won't be from me unless I remember to do it in December and no one else has done it yet :/
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
Question 1

The principal function of this tool is to perform the primary tasks associated with rooting, flashing, and customizing?

Yes, with the goal of expanding over time to include such things as a kitchen for all thrill ROMs like the acidhazard kitchen. Possibly even the UOT.

Question 2

Your plan is to use and or augment current work and material already available to achieve the majority of the above tasks essentially wrapping it all up in a very nice and tidy singe tool?

That's a possibility however it makes more sense to convert most of these tools into the native language of the new tool. For initial purposes this will be AutoIt. Should enough Linux and Mac interest be generated a PHP using GTK front-end with the autoit version becoming depreciated.

Question 3

Your goal in the front or interface is to have a GUI and stay away from automated command line ?

The goal is to write one EXE to incorporate all tools needed for the basic flashing functionality needed to go from anything to stock and follow the process up to custom ROM and kernel. From there, again with sufficient feedback, development would continue and new features incorporated. Backend tools can change how they operate thus requiring a new patch every version, processes don't change too much and keeping up with developments won't be as hard. This in turn frees up time to design an actual gui over using automated command-line.

Question 4

How in depth and to what degree did you want to deal with any updates. Baseband and so on? Will files pull from a server, file host or other source? Or shall it be with the interface itself and the user hunts for the files then points to where they are located?

Updates for things such as what you listed? Basebands, ROMs, necessary tools like adb, and the like? Why not all of those wonderful ideas? This will give ease of access during operation and once depreciated for years the option to pack the tool in a zip file with their favorite ROMs and modifications ready to be used once unpacked.

Question 5

How will devs offer there roms to your tool? Probably directly related to Q4.

Many options are available, private hosting, directly submitting to the project website (which will keep the tools files up to date automatically), allowing users to download and select locally.

Question 6

Where the heck is Waldo?

I haven't the foggiest.

Question 7

Can you provide us with a little copy paste form for us to add feature requests? Should make things much simpler when your sifting threw the thousand posts your gonna get when this thing is live.

Do you one better, an email address. I use my forum posts as tech support for the application, so things don't end up cluttered. Yes it means I'm bound to get two or more emails regarding the same suggestion but that's fine by me if it means that the public information is directly useful.
[LG Thrill 4G] poyensa:
moved to general.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
Only thing else I can think of that would be a huge advantage would be a theme compiling tool and a debug log that could be used as a resource for you and the Devs who work on the roms. Can't wait to see what you create because even 1/2 of this would be awesome.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
A theme compiling tool is harder to make than you think. Even compiling a theme is hard to do if you don't know what you're doing.

Heck. I had a hard time compiling a theme, but then again, LG borked everything so I had to do the run around.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
Very true. I have not done it so I can't really offer a valid opinion. Would be awesome though albeit a pipe dream lol.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
If somebody else has the process mapped out already, I'm looking at you Lestat, I can clone it and present it in an easy to manage fashion that can be adopted by many users. This is only if steps are documented, I don't exactly have time to do any research into hacking an Android.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
I don't have it mapped out, but I can map it out pretty quickly.

Here's a ROUGH draft.

First, there can be two types of "theme kitchens".

Automatic

Non-Automatic

An automatic theme kitchen is usually going to be for one device.

A non-automatic theme kitchen can be used for a broad range of devices.

Automatic - Not familiar with code

Non-Automatic - Familiar with code.

Here's the draft for the automatic, and yes, I'm typing this as I go. Lol

Automatic

Extract theme files from phone. (usually framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk for Gingerbread)

Decompile theme files

Choose what theme element you want

Automatically overwrite UI element (.pngs, .xmls, and other files) - Go back to number 3 UNTIL the loop is closed. (Finished with theme)

Compile theme files

Push files to phone

Set permissions

Wipe dalvik-cache and cache

Reboot phone

/End

Here's the draft for the Non-automatic.

Non-Automatic

Extract theme files from phone. (usually framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk for Gingerbread)

Decompile theme files

USER APPLIES THERE OWN THEME ELEMENTS

Compile theme files

If error occurs while compiling, go back to number 3.

Push files to phone

Set permissions

Wipe dalvik-cache and cache

Reboot phone

/End

Just a simple map of what to do. Of course, putting it into code is a lot easier when you have the correct files.

They need flashaholics anonymous. Then maybe I wouldn't flash people on the streets. >_>

Oops, wait. Wrong subject matter.

P.S. This was just a joke, something to get a laugh out of people.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cynagen:
Dood, back when I had my netbook I used to flash people on the street all the time, the ones with some time and a couple bucks.

P.S. I totally loved your joke and well, had to answer honestly, as a joking response, even though I used to do this exact thing.

Anywhos... I expect to have a test-tool released next week which when you run it, it will allow me to collect some data on the environments (submitted anonymously back to my dev box), ask you a few questions, and collect some data from the phones themselves if they are connected and in debug mode at that time (which I hope everyone does as this is HUGELY important). With the test tool, I'll have it report whether or not your phone will be supported as it stands right now (plug and play), or at least recommend changes (drivers, software, phone version, etc) to make it compatible.

I'm also thinking of the name "Thrilling Toolkit" for the end product, what do you all think?

Dont try to unlock you wll brick ur phone. only below 11w29 its safe, above its playing with your luck:fingers-crossed:.

just try some stock kernel roms and find what suit you. i think dx is very good just update it or delete some unwanted apps that slow it down

if you want to check this support stock kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1237930

if you want to stay with dx you can speed it up by overclock it with this module that u can find it in his thread

Greetings,

As the title states, I would greatly appreciate it if one of the more technologically adept folk here would make a mod for a Nexus S running on 4.1.1 so as to wake the phone from sleep using the volume rocker.

This thread has it ready for the GNex and

This thread seems to have accomplished it for the HTC One X and i was hoping someone could build the same for the Nexus S.

My power button is dead so I need an alternative and while there are apps that try and achieve similar results, they dont work nearly as well as this. If you recall this is a popular option in Custom ROMs. I would do so myself, but I lack the technical know-how.

Thanks a lot, appreciate any help.

It probably won't come until we have actual JB source for the NS. It doesn't seem like it would be worth it to implement it on the "hacky" (nothing against the devs they work magic with what they have) JB roms out now only to have to redo it when source comes out.

Okay so, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket SGH-i727 that is running 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 Not sure at the moment. But, that's not the problem I'm having. My problem is that i wanna root the phone but awhile go i tried rooting it and it got stuck on "Odin Mode" And said it encountered an error. I think I might have downloaded the wrong files or looked at the wrong tutorials. I sent it back to the store I bought it at and they gave me a new one. At all the new tutorials I've looked at for my version of Android it says that I shouldn't have a problem. I'm still kinda spectacle if I should do it or not.
