Question. Are blobs needed in clockworkmod in internal SD? Or can they be deleted, I have a ton in there and trying to make space. I just normally delete old backups and such. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
I wiped them all off blobs folder ..no issues.

edit#1: caution, but make sure you set default backup to .tar format and backup & restore at least one .tar backup before wiping the blobs as you all are aware blobs used for incremental backup that I never liked for some reasons!

No love for GoLauncher EX lol? Try other launchers and still come back to GoEX each time. Just smooth and so many tweaks/customizations. They have that new cool looking 3D launcher but its like 15 bucks and not sorted from what reviews said. Go runs slick on Sho3 though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
So if I delete them all and don't change the format then I just lose all previous backups that I have made?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
No issues for me, it's almost 20 hours on my home wifi since flashed 1.1b.Thanks to jeboo for including Entrpy512' multicast fix.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

if you delete the blobs you loose the backups of blobs format, not .tar format.

each TAR format is complete and full, not incremental.

blobs format was introduced to conserve space on internal storage (devices that have no micro or external sdcard option).

Same here... really bad battery life compared to 1.1a. Unfortunately I didn't save a copy of 1.1a to go back to it. I think version 1.7 of the rom has 1.1, right? Would anyone that still has 1.1a be willing to put it out somewhere for me to grab? If not, I'll just re flash rom 1.7. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:

Jeboo, since your kernels are of manageable size, might you consider just attaching them to the post, rather than only having a single Dev-host link? Not much of a repository if we can only d/l the latest version ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
OK, I happened to check 1.1b at my work ( very noisy wifi) today and the patch that was put in 1.1b did not make any positive effect and the drain was same 5%/hour, way too much of wlan_rx_wake. So with or without this patch the battery drain is same.

Interestingly this patch did not effect negatively at home wifi where it drained 3% over night (say in 8 hours) that's very normal as per observation, where others reported up to 5%/hours drain on their parts, but I don't know what kind of wifi/router, so going back to router config I presume the wifi drain bugs that we discussed a lot in Entropy's threads before during GB/ICS days may be still involved in! thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
Thought I'd chime in on the overheating issue being mentioned with the kernel updates recently, in my experiences.

I was on 1.7 when it was released. had good battery life, no problems. I updated to the 1-1b jeeboo. began to experience phone overheating along with the battery drain that was super fast. Updated to 1-1c but it didn't change the overheating/battery issue. I then reflashed original 1.7 then skipped the 1-1b and updated to 1-1c kernel and all has been working well.

Could 1-1b have left "residual" effects even after updating to 1-1c? (yes, I did clear cache/dalvik before installing kernel) Just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mnuzy:
I have been considering re flashing 1.7 too because of the 1.1b battery drain. I also flashed 1.1c, then went back to 1.1a and even then it still hasn't seemed quite as good. Not sure if this is in my head, but it doesn't "feel" as good as it was before putting 1.1b on even after trying to fix it. I have not changed anything app wise either. Interesting you saw something similar. I'll probably reflashed 1.7 tonight and if that doesn't change anything full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I have been on this ROM for quite a while now, and after flashing 1.1b I had bad battery drain. I was curious as it was also getting a bit warmer than normal,so I checked set CPU and sure enough the CPU was running at the top speed. Tried rebooting, clearing cache and dalvik, couldn't fix it. So I don't know if it was a random issue on my phone, or an issue dealing with the kernel. Just thought I'd share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chaplain:
I flashed 1.1b a couple of days ago and had no problems until I updated several apps from Play Store. Immediately, it started heating up and I lost 40% of battery over 2 hours. I pulled the battery when it got to 107 degrees and let the phone sit for 30 minutes. Oddly, when I replaced the battery and rebooted, it ran fine, but I have since reverted to 1.1a to avoid possible recurrence.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dominuce00:
Have you tried changing the governor and scheduler to Sleepy/Noop as Sho suggested?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveO390:
I haven't been having any problems updating from 1.4 all the way through to 1.7 either... well ...with the exception of app icons disappearing from my home screen, always the same ones and only games, and for some reason certain days of the week I have scheduled for alarms will "uncheck" themselves for one day or another for no apparent reason. I haven't mentioned it because it seems random, I can't make it happen so I don't know how anyone here could troubleshoot it.

So...that aside I decided to try updating the kernels and noticed the phone started lagging, it locked up a couple times and then when I tried to accept a phone call it locked up and rebooted itself. Before I flashed each successive kernel update I ran jivy's kernel cleaning script. I decided to go back to the original 1.7 update and ran jivy's script again and flashed 1.7 and then the "5 icon lock screen fix" and it started acting better immediately.

Just my experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
I don't know what the hell happened but my phone randomly while trying to update Titanium Backup restore it made a real loud click sound through the speaker and it shut right off.

I went to turn it back on and it just stayed frozen on the Galaxy S2 boot logo. I tried clearing cache/dalvik and no luck. I had to do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM to get it back up and running. I'll nandroid restore in a bit but any ideas why it did that? I was worried the phone just died lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Yeah I did, didn't have any effect. So I'll just reinstall 1.7 and that'll hopefully fix it:)

Its possible it is dying, if it does it again I'd say warranty it,is your one year warranty already up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:

Not sure if suggesting features is permitted but if there could be a screenshot button in either the notification pull down menu or in the device options when you hold down the power button that would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mnuzy:
I had the same thing happen with icons disappearing on reboot, the same ones and only games. Turns out it's only the ones that were moved from phone to the sd card. I moved them back to phone and the problem went away. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be helpful as I don't want to have to use only phone storage for apps on the home screens. Maybe a configuration issue?

At first I thought they were just disappearing randomly. Then i figured out it's happening after reboot because I figured out I'm getting what seem to be random reboots. I know I'm getting reboots because every time I reboot I get a notice from super backup app that I have not backed up contacts in over a month. That's the only time that notice pops up and I'm seeing it without me rebooting the phone on purpose. Not happening super frequently but it's happened a few times... Seems like it happened after the kernel update so I'm going to reflashed the rom then 1.1c to see if that fixes the reboots.

I just had a real critical issue on 1.7 which led me to return to a nandroid of 1.6.5 made before flashing 1.7

I was swyping with the 4.2 keyboard when everything froze up. I tried to reboot and I was stuck on the Galaxy S2 screen. Even removed the battery and tried a few more times but it was stuck at the same screen. I was able to boot into recovery successfully. This was on 1.7 with the kernel packed with the rom. I will echo what I said before, I think a full wipe should be reccomended. I don't know what's with my phone but I think 1.6.5 is even smoother than 1.7.

I, and I suspect even many other users that bought a subsidized phone from at&t at this point have no warranty. There's an argument to be made I suppose that you shouldn't be messing with your phone if you rely on it for important things, but we're all XDA people.
