[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Battery life depends on many factors.

Try all the available roms for yourself. Anyone can give you an answer, but that doesn't mean it applies to your specific device and battery combination. With regard to battery life and custom roms on any device ... YMMV (your mileage may vary).
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Exactly this... there are so many factors on battery life that comparing battery life from one person to another is pretty pointless... but trying the roms out on your phone is a good way to test because you will mainly use your phone the same regardless of the rom you use... so the only way to really tell what is going to have better battery life for you is to flash the roms and try them all out for a few days each....
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
Thanks :D. Someone said it depends on the software. But Idk. I only tried CM9 and CM10 because I always loved ICS and JB.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
GB Roms definitely have better battery life. Stock touchwiz fc09 rooted running shadow kernel gives a whole days worth of charge with 2 hour screen time. On cm20 you can watch the percentage drop as you use it, doing that on stock fc09 is like watching water boil lol. It also charges faster. 1 percent about every minute.

Of course, YMMV but this is my personal observation. I'm running cm10 cuz I like jb, but once they fix battery drain it'll be great. I know its possible cuz the battery lasts a lot longer on the night lies than the first unofficial and official preview builds.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
I sot there and watch the battery drain from my Epic running CM10. I want to try a GB Rom, but I don't have any ROMS. Wha about Legendary ROM?
[Epic 4G General] mbellot:
I would suggest looking at TPR 2.21 if you want to try a GB rom with excellent battery life.
[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
My general experience is the same but on cm10. I typically get 3 hrs screen on time, 20-30 minutes of calls, 20 texts or so, usually an hour of game time...and about 18 hours total up time...and I am at around 15% at the end of the night. That was with the 1012 nightly. So it is definitely a YMMV thing! This is on a epic touch 1800 battery.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
TPR?? The People's ROM? And what about the Legendary ROM?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I still use the original battery that came with the phone :P
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
Yes TPR is The Peoples Rom has great battery life not sure about Legendary but may I suggest CM7 it freaking rocks.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
Thank you :D. Now when I get home, I have ROMS to try.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
Me too.
[Epic 4G General] asinanan:
I haven't messed with my phone in forever. I currently have a CM7 nightly running on my Epic. Can I just flash a CM10 nightly or will I need to do something first? Like update clockwork mod or flash a different kernel <-- you can see my ignorance showing here.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
I was running CM9 when I flashed CM10. I think you can just flash it but I am kind of a newbie. Just do a bit more research. And if you flash cm10, you have to odin back to stock, root, and then flash another ROM you want to flash something besides CM10.
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
When I jumped from CM7, I went to mounts and storage and wiped everything in there except /sdcard. Then I flashed the ROM and appropriate gapps, and all was fine
[Epic 4G General] opinion8d:
If you want to stick with CM10, I've found that the SimplyCM10 kernel actually helped with battery life. YMMV, but I was draining 1800mAH in ~10 hours and it's >12hrs the last couple of days.
[Epic 4G General] TaviRawr:
I have 1500 mAh and I go to school with 100%, come home with about 40-20% and to me, that's unacceptable. I never flashed kernels because I never thought they really did anything.
[Epic 4G General] bypod:
If battery life is a major concern for you, then probably avoid CM9 and CM10. But what you get in trade-off is amazing performance and features that only Jelly Bean has. I have a charger or two at home, one in the car and one at work.. plus a couple extra batteries for emergencies. So having the battery last 'all day' just doesn't mean much in my case.
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
I'm not too concerned with battery life, cause I have 2 stock 1500mAh batteries, and I usually carry around a usb cord in my backpack just in case.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Id also agree with GB having much better battery life and performance is still excellent. And if you want the extra options and some looks of cm9 or 10 then use cm7 (which has been the best gb ROM for me).

And especially if your trying to get your battery to last all day you should use GB ROMs. Look at what I've gotten my phone through on GB. All of these are with stock 1500 mAh battery.

[Epic 4G General] socos25:
I would agree GB Rom's get better battery life but I'm getting over 18h with CM10, typically 2h screen on time pushing three email accounts and I have the ability to use Google NOW. Which when it first came out I didn't see the usefulness, but lately I like it alot more.

What exactly do these things do? I'm on embryo 5.3 and the call quality is bad. It sounds like I'm under water. Will flashing a new radio or change apn help with this?

Sent from my S2 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Radio/Modem is basically how you get your signal or connection. Different versions may affect people differently depending on location, say if UCLF6 was better in Florida than in Texas or UCLF5 is better than UCLF6 in call quality (just an example), you just have to test which one you like the best when it comes down to customizing them.

APN can be included with radio/modem installations but its basically Access Point Names and its what the radio/modem uses to get their connection. If you have an APN for AT&T you use that, if you have an APN for Straight Talk you use that, some times there will be one specifically for LTE users and so forth.

Think of your Radio/Modem as your Cable Modem and think of APN as your provider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] feelinfroggy23:
Thank you so much man. One more question. I'm on stock uclf6 right now and when I flash...let's say embryo and it uses the same uclf6 but I get that under water sound, I can flash let's say uclf5? Would it be possible that would fix the problem? And it wouldn't affect me getting calls and texts?

Sent from my S2 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Correct. You can flash any ics radio for skyrocket and still get calls/texts. I use ucalc4 cause it gives me the best signal and battery life. But it's all depending on your region. I'm in Louisville, Kentucky area.

Honestly, after I tried 4, I stopped looking. I seem to remember that uclf5 worked well too though. May try it. I've flashed a TON of radios, and not had any issues, I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you get them from the skyrocket threads.

[Captivate General] phoenixfriend:
So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.
[Captivate General] wwcjr91:
I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.

I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
[Captivate General] phoenixfriend:
Ill look for mobile Odin.
[Captivate General] phoenixfriend:
Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
Mobile Odin does require Root.

And nope, no way to Root just from phone.

But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radarbill:
I have an acer a500 tab that was updated to ICS 4.xxx. Two months after the warranty ran out I was playing online poker (play money) and let it sit unattended, when I came back to it the screen was froze. I shut it down. Now seems to be locked in a boot loop, bricked, or just being onrey.

We have since been able to enter APX mode and got the cpuid#. we got a program called acer iconia tab software upgrade utility. The program gets about 15% and then hangs. I have waited as long as 1 hr, is suppose to take about 10 minutes or so.

As I have little knowledge of what and when to do what I need to do. I am asking what would be the next step?

Should we be doing a different install before the upgrade utility? Any help would be appreciated.

[HTC Rezound] Lucasonic:
So I have been using Neo's AOSP Rage Rom since about 1.4, and haven't encountered any serious problems (besides some hiccups such as the Trebuchet FC problem in 1.7, although everyone had that). Now, after I have flashed 1.8, I am unable to turn on my Wifi. I checked my md5s, I did 3 clean flashes, and I also flashed the rom with and without the inverted gapps pack.

My Rezound is currently S-ON, and I have no plans to go S-OFF unless necessary.

I'm not sure if this is a kernel problem, or if it's the wifi module, or perhaps something else, but I figured I should ask here first to see if there were others with he same problem.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Most likely kernel, try flashing Snuzzo's kernel
[HTC Rezound] aftafoya:
I've tried that and it didn't help. I tried both of his kernels without success. My problem may be hardware related though. I can't switch back to sense based from without bootlooping. Same thing with flashing ruu.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
If your running an ruu and still boot looping, then something else is wrong. It's gotta be a hardware problem, time for an insurance return
[HTC Rezound] Lucasonic:
Well... I figured out what I was doing wrong, which was that I forgot to re-flash the boot.img that came with the Neo's rom. I suppose I forgot to re-flash it because it never said you had to, but I remembered that the rom was intended for S-OFF, and I'm S-ON, so that never occurred to me.

So, yeah, it was basically the kernel.

After I did a clean wipe and flash of Rage again, and flashed the boot.img in the bootloader, everything worked.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Glad to see it works. Yeah so go s off your phone! Lol its worth it
[HTC Rezound] platinumthomas:
I've got the same issue. Except wifi, gps, and bluetooth won't turn on. Also, I keep getting the message that my SD card is damaged. I pulled the boot file from the ROM, zipped it, and named it PH89IMG.

So far, everything else seems to work, but this isn't really working for me. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Are you on ICS firmware or GB firmware? If you are on GB still and trying to flash ICS rom, wifi and sdcard won't work until you flash the old firmware patch.
[HTC Rezound] toasterwater:
I second that notion. I've been on 1.8 for a while and I feel like it's been the best version so far (I'm S-OFF). 1.9 is out now, so I'll be trying that later tonight.

Performing S-OFF isn't that bad. I thought it was fun - just follow the directions and you should be fine (like anything else).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] staveandor:
So I've been reading threads on rooting/backups/flashing, and while not new to it, I'm still a bit confused about this particular device.

So far I've:

Rooted using DebugFS

Unlocked my bootloader using EZ-Unlock

Backed up my IMEI using 'nvbackup' in Terminal Emulator.

Flashed CWM

Have I missed any steps, or am I good to start flashing custom ROM's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Depends on which version of EZ unlock you used. Try 1.2 or older, or CASUAL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeg Boy:
Sounds like you are all set.

You could take one more step to back up your IMEI, see step B from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

Other than that I think you are good.

However, if something goes wrong, don't blame me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] staveandor:
I used 1.2 from the Rootz thread linked in the Market/Play Store.

I'm currently on a PC, isn't CASUAL for Mac/Linux only? And why would I need to run it at all? I'm not trying to unroot, I'm wondering if I'm properly set up to start flashing ROMs on a freshly rooted phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] staveandor:
Will do. And trust me, I'm not looking for blame or anything. I'm just wondering if I was all set. I had come across some potentially conflicting information last night that made me hesitate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fillyo:
You are ready to go, start with something like cleanROM, I am running 2.5, works well. Make a back up first obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
I know what you are trying to do. The newer versions of EZ Unlock did not actually unlock the bootloader, and CASUAL does more than unroot. It was the original unlocking program. It works fine for most people on Windows as well. It's how I unlocked my bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
go for it.

your first step should be creating a nandroid after you get into CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cwentwo:
Ok, I had some problems with losing the IMEI after flashing CM10 but I was able to restore that. The next problem was I still didn't have service. I tried flashing numerous roms and going back to stock but that didn't work. Finally, I had to restore back to factory settings after recovering with Odin because I couldn't get past the Samsung logo. When it started it comes up with yellow text where the clock is and flashes quickly at the bottom saying that it is in Factory Mode and something about Wi-fi. At the bottom it says that I need to return it back to user mode for verification. Any ideas on how to do that?

Using the info here, you can fix it by:

Open a terminal emulator

Type su

Then enter the following after the #

(yes ON is the correct setting to turn it off)

Then I had to reboot for the change to take effect. FYI, I had to go through initial setup after the reboot.​

Hi all,

I have a used HTC One S and I think that there are 3 different ROMs. There is only 2GB of free space left. When I got it there was an Orange ICS ROM but I don't think that was the original software as I found a zip file for the ROM on the sd card. I'm on O2 so I have installed a skanky cm10 JB ROM but didn't realize that there is not much free space as the original ROM had to use approx 5GB, then the Orange ICS another 5GB and approx 5GB left for the JB and only 2GB is usable for data at the moment. I would like to get rid of the JB and Orange ICS. Could anyone tell me how to remove/erase/uninstall these 2 ROMs, please? Is there any factory reset option? Thank a lot, pepe999
