So I usually use HD Widgets but I really like the stock AccuWeather widget built into the rom so I've been using that but it won't update the weather unless I have GPS on.. HD Widgets uses AccuWeather as well and I never had to have GPS turned on to update the weather.. What's different about the stock widget?

well darn, now after flashing that I have the camera but my Playstore force closes. tried clearing data didnt work. then uninstalled it and reinstalled it from an APK i found online and it worked for about 30 seconds and then force closed again.

guess ill have to factory reset to see if that helps or reload the rom as is with out 4.2 apps.

maybe i can find just the 4.2 camera app only instead.

4.2 gaps

It is not a stock app. there is a free beta of it in the apps section it by Alexander Skvortsov though. It does work, however on outgoing calls you have to manually start it up even if it is set to auto record. Luckily the Kernel does do 2-way recording!!

System apps

Folks, if you have not read some my posts, do not flash System Apps especially Gapps and such things...you will suffer :)..Some of the gapps would need to be cleared in the other partitions, for it to work...you can see which ones in /preload...I would probably *NOT* recommend doing it, unless you are familiar with how the 4.1.2 was installed (hint: browse your filesystems partitions)

im on Rogers and i can't get the Wifi Tether to work. Native one doesn't come on, says no mobile data or invalid sim (my data works fine) and with FoxFi it connects but i get no data on the connected device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
Your screenshots don't prove anything, and by repeating the same wrong statement you're getting right into what you write you don't want to get into.

Data is ALWAYS on. So is WiFi. Unless you turn it off using some kind of app, your phone maintains an active cellular data link constantly when WiFi isn't present. Which means that it's drawing power. And the power that it takes to maintain an idle cellular data link is more than the power it takes to maintain an idle WiFi link.

To see it for yourself, set your phone idle at night with WiFi on, and the next night with WiFi off - and compare. People did it, many times on many phones, and came to a quite certain conclusion that WiFi causes less power drain than cellular data. You want numbers? To run WiFi link, the most powerful transmission peaks at 71mW - that's the max allowed value in spec. UMTS transmitter, if memory serves me well, has 500mW peak power, not even mentioning the much more complex modulation and longer datapath.

That's why it's generally suggested to keep WiFi always on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ATRIXXIRTA:
Just so people know, the Gapps I flashed are majicks from his orothus thread on rootz. Everything seems ok. Some thjngs are borked tho. 4.2 keyboard doesnt work. When I selected it as primary keyboard, the phone would kind of freeze momentarily, vibrate, then work, then freeze, vibrate etc.. until I reselected samsung keyboard as defauly, then the glitching stopped. 4.2 camera seems to work only as a regular camera, meaning video and spherical cam dont work.

Mohans right, just stick with built in Gapps. If you want 4.2 gmail you can just get it from the store, which I just learned today, lol. And the 4.2 keyboard and camera have basically no functionality, which makes it pointless... for now anyway.

The 4.2 keyboard can be installed like any other app (I'm using it). Just extract the apk only and install.

The 4.2 camera? Not sure why anyone would want it. The main advantage of the stock rom (in my book) is better hardware support. I.e. the stock camera is SO much better. Autofocus actually works right. Picture quality is better. The focal point is set at a better range. You have all kinds of options not available in aosp.

Now, I'll probably go back to aosp eventually (when we get 4.2 probably) but I will REALLY miss the stock camera.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MikeySmikey:
I hate to keep beating a dead horse but I've never really gotten great battery life, the best to date was about 9 hours with light-average use (probably due to a semi bad battery) but battery life is great with this ROM.

I have just one question: I decided to get Juice Defender after all that screen off/data off talk and noticed a HUGE difference. It stayed at 73% for the longest time (screen off, data disabled). Then I started using my phone and within a couple minutes my battery went from 73 to 65%. Do you think it's because of Juice Defender or some other reason?

That rate of battery drain isn't normal even for my phone. Is there a better app to disable data while the phone is idle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
True. I would love to go to stock. The only reason I use AOSP is the lockscreen (the music controls and calendar on lockscreen) and the dpi support(the TW launcher looks shi* at lower dpi and dialer is a joke).

I have had similar battery lives with stock and aosp

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Ya, i've noticed this as well. You can't set it to use your current location w/o gps being on so I just set a general location which will do the trick for me. Having to manually refresh it isn't a bad thing either, saves on battery in the long run.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KagaHades:
A restart got it to pick up the location now. However, if I turn off WiFi it goes way off location using GPS alone. Yet GPS Status is still showing 9' accuracy. With WiFi on it gets to the general location but shows 20'-30' accuracy in Maps even though GPS Status is still giving me a good 9' accuracy reading. Weird. I know that in CM10 both values were matching.

If you had bothered to read one post below my post before you decided to "school me" you would see that Mohan had already explained what would effect battery life and one of those things is location. I have a strong LTE signal. I can see the tower out the back window of my house. If you would have read a little further you would also see that I had told him thank you because what he had said explained allot....So put your voltage meter away. I WAS WRONG and Mohan was right I expressed my gratitude for the information and nothing more really needed to be said about it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
That's because you fail to see the direct correlation between screen on / awake time and battery drain, and instead wrongly attribute the gradient of the graph to other things, namely WiFi.

Next thing you say is that you believe in wiping battery stats being something useful, and that task killer is a necessary app.

Kinda tired of explaining the obvious. Believe whatever you want.

If you insist, I can draw 2 circles of approx. the same conditions on your graph, one with WiFi and one without WiFi, and let you measure the gradient on both.

While I agree with your relentless explanations on the topic, I also feel that you are leaving out one important factor. How much your battery drains on WiFi is also related to the wireless network it is connected to. I honestly can't speak in technical terms on this topic, but it depends on how much the WiFi network pings your phone and whatnot. I've read a few posts on it before and I completely agree. On my college campus, even right in my dorm, connecting to my campus WiFi is like signing a death warrant for my phone. The battery immediately just falls off a cliff. No matter what, every time. However, at my family home (while I truthfully don't see that much of a difference) turning WiFi on either keeps my battery life at the status quo, or does slightly improves it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
Yes, you're right, it's one of the factors, just like type and distance of the cellular antenna from the phone make a lot of difference in cellular battery drain.

The assumption is that most normal WiFi networks don't drain the battery excessively - personally I've never encountered battery-draining WiFi networks, home or corporate - but the reception varies, and the battery drain varies with it. This assumption doesn't cover 100% of the cases - but it covers a vast majority of them.

Decompile each APK in /system, starting with framework-res, add the directories for the language with the right XML files, recompile.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

How often are you awake for 24+ hour periods? A "full day" for most people is only the amount of time they are awake. Unless you've somehow mastered the art of sleep-texting, the other 6-8 hours shouldn't matter. Regardless, it makes for a much nicer routine to plug your phone in before you go to bed so its fully charged when you wake up. Rather than waking up with 30% and having to charge it midday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] powerserge1:
Gotcha. Good battery life for me is going at least 2 days between charges. This is achieved by turning off wifi and data when not in use. For me this includes 3-4 hrs of screen on time, 1 hr of calls, bunch of texts and 2 hrs online using data. mind you I am using the Nexus battery which yields 15% more battery life as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
I love how the Nexus battery is always the last point to enter discussion. Not blaming you or singling you out (just using you as an example I guess :/). I'm just saying that every time someone says they're using the extended battery, it always comes after a few remarks about battery life have been made, or as the very last side note/afterthought to how good their battery life is.
