PS: now I am running on LS-3.2-4.4.4 - works like a charm. It is an unbelievably huge leap in phone performance. But I guess any similar custom ROM would produce the same improvements.

[Galaxy Ace II General] R814932:
I understand a bit more about the numbers i quoted above. I realise that they are the model/ location/ version no. So to root it seems I do not need to find a kernel that matches the location and version. Is that right?

[Galaxy Ace II General] R814932:
Thank you for replying and giving me that useful help.

Am I correct in assuming I need to install the stock kernel and only after that is installed to install the Custom Kernel? I ask because I believe I do not need to do both kernels but this is what the link says:

FOR JELLY BEAN

What's you need:

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 with Jelly Bean

Custom Kernel with CWM or TWRP such as D- Kernel. (Optional)

Stock Kernel. But you need CWM 6 by Shaaan. Download HERE.

[Galaxy Ace II General] fluffi444:
The info of the link says "Custom Kernel with CWM or TWRP such as D- Kernel. (Optional)"

Optional mean you have the choice :)

If you are on stock kernel it is like I said... Flash Temp CWM... Flash SuperSU (out of CWM)... Done.

Come on - Its really not that difficult :D

Where do I find the keys? I am hoping that using them is not a problem because they get put into an option in the CWM menu, when I get to that stage.

Hi, got a new phone and decided to use my old phone as a time lapse camera, but want to use a custom rom as stock one is very slow and unreliable.. Had some trouble rooting. Think I got confused by some other online guides out there (not on XDA). Before I try again using the above method I have a question. Is there any point in that process that I'm supposed to wipe the cache using CWM or stock recovery ?

It's always "easy" after the first time you root ! The first time I was praying to the Gods :silly:

Hi Owl

The easiest way to root ur galaxy ace 2 is to use kingo root as there is almost no risk of bricking and is usually always successful and even if it fails nothing happens to the mobile. if u want to download it search kingo root in google. its the easiest way to root a android phone. hope this helps. its from my personal experience and it got my ace 2 rooted. All the best with rooting it.

So what wireless charger have been tested to actually work with the N4?

It's suppose to be QI, but so is the Lumia 920 and the N4 does not charge on the QI Nokia Pad (cuts in and out and randomly stops charging). This is the Nokia DT-900 charging pad I am referring to, which specifically states Qi compatibility and standard.

I want to get one that will work as the Lumia gave me an appreciation for Wireless charging :good:

max distance to charge properly

Hi,

I browsed the forum to get any further information about the "range" topic, but I only found the vague number 1.6" (wikipedia, qi-standard).

My plan is to neatly integrate the charger into my furniture, to make it invisible. I doubt I am the first one to come up with this plan, but I couldn't find anything helpful.

Could someone please try out a short experiment? Like how many sheets of paper can you put in between the nexus 4 and the charger until the connection is lost. Please add, which system you used.

Are you expecting a driver letter to come up, because that's not how the X4 can be accessed through windows.

You have to select MTP usb operation and then a P880 device will be shown in explorer, right below your drives.

[HTC Rezound] Dr. Hax:
I tried Vigor360, and though I hate Sense, it was.. okay...except battery life was worse than on my Thunderbolt. I've tried flashing different kernels but more problems usually arrise out of the blue and I have NO CLUE which kernels are actually good , good as in they actually male an effort to improve the battery life. I'm currently on a CM9 ROM and holy hell! The keyboard lags and battery life is ATROCIOUS ! I haven't even hardly installed any apps!

I tried Newt's One XXX, v5.1.1 but couldn't stand the minor bugs, but I assume battery life on that ROM is way worse than on Vigor360 (since usually, the higher the version of Sense, the worse it is on the battery) when I had a galaxy Nexus, the picture quality was a joke, but I made it well through the day with it! I'm not getting an extended battery. The phone is thick enough -.-

My current usage is about 7 hours,an hour and a half of screen time, battery is at 7%. I can sort of stand sense 3.6 so long as it isn't theme. What ROM/kernel combo do you guys use to get through the day, or did I make a mistake getting this phone? (No offense)
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
going to need some things from you:

1. are you s-on or off

2. what firmware are you on

3. do you like sense or aosp more

edit: 7 and 1/2 hours screen time. that is awesome for the REZ. the HD screen is what kills the battery the most. if you can get 7 hours then bravo.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
He said he is averaging 7hrs of use with 1.5hrs screen time which is pretty bad. Believe it or not, newts one xxx has probably the best battery life for the rez. I can easily get 14hrs with 3hrs screen time with stock battery. Yesterday I got 17 hrs with 5.5hrs screen time on extended battery. That is probably the best Rom atm and sense 4+ is much more appealing to the eye. All I can say is if you don't like sense, you bought the wrong phone. People will forget about this phone before aosp/aokp is perfected, even though they are making great progress. I can never get any kernels to work right either. Leaving stock kernels is usually best. As with any android phone, you have to work for battery life
[HTC Rezound] Dr. Hax:
Wow!! The big reason I have this phone is.. well..

Had a Nexus, broke it and sold it for $75, relative let me use an iPhone 4... I lasted a week before caving and bought a Thunderbolt for $90.

I couldn't stand the ancient android OS and the phone was having random data drops, so I got Verizon to replace it with another thunderbolt. The replacement had the same issue + the vibrate motor decided when and when not to work. The guy on the phone was like "well, since you've had several replacements of this phone, we're gonna see about sending g you a different phone to resolve your issues once and for all, but the phone you receive won't come with a battery cover or battery." I told him I had a battery cover and battery for a Rezound and asked if that could be sent to me, he said "sure, we should be able to do that."

This phone killed my 32GB microSD card :'(

newt's sense 4 roms are great on battery life. but when i moved to cm9 i now get about 18hours of life with a little under 5 hours screen on. im running rage 1.9.1.
[HTC Rezound] mforminio7:
When asking for help you usually shouldn't trash every kernel/rom made available to us by our hard working devs. Also, your theory on the sense number being higher = higher battery usage is way false. Sense 4 & sense 4.1 were actually designed to decrease battery usage and lag so I would stick with one of those. Also, try underclocking your cpu and changing governors.
[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
People need to stop judging battery life based on screen-on time and hours of use. It varies per person depending on how many accs/apps are syncing. I am tired of all this "better battery" and comparing usage time. If you want more battery, stop syncing on all apps/account. I wish people would stop posting screenshots of their usage. It just means they don't use their phone as much in terms of accs and apps running. Stock rom/kernel best for stability.
[HTC Rezound] d.kozzer:
It might vary somewhat, but screen-on time and total time are still good yardstick level indicators of battery charge longevity. It's not like when you sync your google account your battery only lasts 1/3 as long - it's maybe a 10% difference, depending on your signal strength, if you're on wifi, etc.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Try reformatting the sd card on your computer via a card reader.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Rage ROM 1.9.1 is a good ROM, nice and smooth. I got about 2 and a half hours of screen on time with that ROM and Snuzzos Funky Kernel. Very nice combination.

If you want to be real fancy you can build a CM10 ROM. There's a guide for it in the Dev section. (Well, the guide is to make CM9, but it's easy to modify the commands to make it build CM10 instead). I get about 3 hours and 15 mins of screen on time on average with the stock battery, no kernel modifications or anything fancy. Brightness is at 25%. I ran it with brightness on 100% for a day and got about 2 hrs and 15 mins of screen on time.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
As much as you dislike this method of determining battery life, it is really the only way to gauge battery life on a forum. You are right that it also depends on apps syncing and such but a Rom that can get 12hrs with 3hrs screen time is more battery friendly than a Rom that can do that same12hrs but with 1.5hrs screen on time with the same setup and usage.
[HTC Rezound] Dr. Hax:
How much battery account sync uses is dependent on just how popular you are :p we have push sync. This isn't Android 1.5 wen're talking about. Push sync uses very little battery.

And sure, I could build a CM10 ROM, but won't it basically be useless cause most things will be broken or barely working?
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I've been running it as a daily driver since the 12th. It's surprisingly stable. No random FCs or anything. There are some graphical artifacts while watching streaming video like on YouTube and Project Butter isn't working, but it's still pretty smooth. Bluetooth calling isn't working either, but nor is it on AOSP ICS either. That's pretty much it for problems.
[HTC Rezound] Dr. Hax:
And just to clarify, I'm not.dissing ROM's or developers, in fact, I'm going to admit, I'm a huge Newtoroot fanboy lol. Maybe its cause I've known of him since the Droid Incredible! But I've been running One XxX Rom for about a day now and battery life is still pretty bad, what are some good Sense kernels for battery life?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Try snuzzo's 1.6rc2 kernel with it . I am on ecliptic Rom, but have run Newts and switched to that kernel on both. It's in his funky kernel thread.
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
I have tried all the sense roms and Nilsp business sense 4.0 gives me the best battery life
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:

[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
how the heck are you guys getting these ridiculous screen on times with the stock battery?? the best ive ever gotten WITH AND EXTENDED BATTERY is like 3hr screen on time and ~13 hours unplugged with countershrikes AOSP and Funky Kernel

and no where near that with my stock battery
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I've been wondering that myself lol. I haven't done anything different; same apps, same sync settings, same display brightness, just the ROM + kernel is different. I'm not even undervolted like I was and I'm doing better than before lol... Must be the ROM/stock CM10 kernel I guess.
[HTC Rezound] Wendemixda:
One Rom that has gone unnoticed and which, imho, is the best sense 3.6 ROM I have ever tried, is TRANQUILITY REZ. Absolutely bug-free through my experience and not bad on battery. I must say my battery life is noticeably longer when I use APEX launcher over sense Roms and I like it better. I am currently running RAGE 1.9.1 with the kernel that came with it and, on my extended battery, I got 13h28, 3h36 screen time, with 49% of battery remaining. I was doing surfing, reading the forums, texting, playing hanging with friends, a few short calls and downloading apps, mostly on WIFI.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Screen on time might not be the best indicator, but I consistently get more screen on time with sense 4+ roms vs multiple different aosp based roms.

I'm using newts one xxx with BAMF kernel and getting around 18 hrs on, 3-3.5 hours screen on
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
I think we need to see a screen capture of that, or get myth busters invloved, lol
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:

[HTC Rezound] mclass55:

[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
brightness?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
I just leave it on auto
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
Same here. I set auto brightness to lowest in tweaks and I can easily attain 15+hrs with around 3hrs screen time on newts Rom with stock kernel no underclock. I mostly use 3g though since is fast enough for basic browsing and netflix in most areas.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
That is ridiculous battery life. :eek:
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
If it may be making a difference, I have one of the "cooler" running rezounds meaning it never heats up even when say, charging and playing an intense 3d game at the same time. Guess I just got lucky :p
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
Well congrats I'm so happy for you :P lol I wish their production was more consistant
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
Ok, I am going to try out newts and the BAMF kernel , to see how it does on my old rezound. Do I need to change any setting with that kernel? I never used it before and don't have time to read over the 30+ pages, thanks
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Well the only thing I can add is that, depending on what kernel you previously had, you will need the video patch after flashing the BAMF kernel. There's a link for it in dsb's kernel thread

You should not keep the home button pressed, but press it a few times [3,4 times]

I have talked to HTC about my HOX restarting and they suggested that before a factory reset I should try using the phone in safe mode. It's been turned on in safe mode for quite some time now... and guess what?! No other resets so far...

In conclusion: it's a stinking play store app / app update / app bg service.

Will use it like so for a couple a days and get back with feedback, or until JB rolls out globally in a few days.
