[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comp625:
I recently got the Galaxy Nexus and was also surprised at how awful battery life is, considering this was Google's "flagship" phone late last year. It's the screen that definitely eats up battery life; my buddy swears by his stock 4.1 G'Nex but he keeps the screen so damn dim...:thumbdown:

One of the biggest things that I did was to root my G'Nex and throw "AOKP 4.2" on there. It's a custom ROM that you may have heard of, similar to the very popular Cyanogenmod 10 ("CM10") in which someone mentioned earlier. AOKP 4.2 has a "Performance Control" app that lets you set a minimum and maximum CPU frequency and the algorithm behind when/how often your phone jumps to full speed (a.k.a. the "CPU Governor"). It's like a car; you don't always want to run at top speed because it'll burn lots of fuel *very* quickly, so the CPU Governor intelligently limits your phone's speeds until you truly need it (e.g. gaming). You won't really notice a drastic usability/performance hit either.

For what it's worth, I have my CPU Governor set on Interactive and Noop, with a minimum frequency of 525mhz and a maximum frequency of 1350mhz. Since doing so, my phone has lasted me throughout most of the typical day with moderate use.

If you don't have frequent nor easy access to a charger, I would recommend a portable battery charger. Amazon.com sells one called the New Trent I carrier...or something along those lines. Anyways, their devices are the size of a cellphone and they act as a portable charger that connects to your G'Nex's micro USB port. These devices also have large battery capacities.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
My battery hasn't gone downhill until 4.2.1, forcing me to go back to 4.1.2 which is pretty much the same as 4.0.4

Do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] username8611:
You can get the anker extended battery for 10$ from amazon, if it's still not enough, get a couple and swap em out through the day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Buy a spare battery and/or identify and remove and poorly coded apps that are killing battery life by always churning. Your data connection and screen on time is what kills your battery. Flashing kernels and roms is mostly a placebo effect. Another possibility is your signal strength. If you're in a poor signal area, your phone will work harder to maintain a connection to the tower thus sucking up more juice. You may be able to solve this problem by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a different set of radios.

LTE sucks a ton of battery. Turning data off sucks very little. Flashing a new rom/kernel doesn't really fix this fact unless it eliminates problems with crappy apps that are either ramping up processor use and/or sucking up excessive data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I an running Android Revolution 9.0 which is based on 4.2.1 and I have 23.5 hours and nearly 3 hours screen time and I still have 12 percent left..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
..Those clock speeds are higher than stock. Am I wrong in saying lowering the minimum instead to 192mhz would be more beneficial? Is noop i/o scheduler that good? (either way I'm trying noop out =P)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Same, I never charge my phone ever. Only the battery.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

I think that's too low For minimum, least I've had problems at that frequency. Often sleeps to much and can't wake it up lol regular min is 300 I believe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] songhengkaing:
My Gnexus got only about 8 to 9 hours of battery with about 2 hours screen on. Need to charge two times per day. I think the android OS suck the battery. Especially when on 3G, the battery running out so fast that I can't believe myself. I am on stock 4.2.1 and root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motrinHD:
interesting im not the only one with horrible battery life.. makes me feel better and sad at the same time..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daniel 07:
Good to see i'm not alone!

My battery is ridicolous, after 10 hours i'm standing at 30%. Screen has been on for 1 hour and 15 minutes (25% brightness), I have listened to music for 30 minutes, everything was turned off (not a single minute of WiFi-GPS-Data). Sync also was turned off.

In short, i have not used it at all if not for that hour.

From the graph I can see Android OS leading the drain with 41% (1:42 min CPU, Keep Awake 9:26), followed by Screen (34%), Media Server 9%. Rest are irrilevant.

I wonder what's happening, there must be a fix for this, it's just unacceptable. It surely gets nuked down in a matter of 3-4 hours on a working day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoAssasin:
You might want to try runining betterbatterystats to pinpoint better whats taking up your battery. As far as i know, screen has and should always be the highest draining factor.

Just to let you know though, back when i was running bone stock jellybean, i too was having horrible battery life. Usually 7-8 hours idle and under 2hrs screentime and battry would be done.

After trying out custom roms and kernels though, my battery life only got better. Right now the best battery life ive had is with JBsourcery 4.3 with their own kernel. Now im getting up to 4hours screentime data always on. If your having bad battery life with this too, you might want to try uninstalling updates for trickstermod that comes with the rom. I had problems with the new version holding the clock speed at 700mhz under idle, draining quite a bitThis is all with the stock battery that came with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsalate:
I had bad battery life with the stock battery and called Sprint and got two 2100 extended batteries for free. Including shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arthuryeo:
Try Overdrive 2.7

After trying many rom, the best and most stable rom i found is Overdrive 2.7. Fast, stable and excellent battery life. I had tried many other roms and has problems connecting to the computer usb as well as wall socket for charging. Sometimes, it detects the phone and other times it does not. I don't have the problem with Overdrive 2.7 rom.

Intially i thought that my new samsung galaxy nexus has a fault USB after spending hours searching online for solution. It turned out that the source of the charging problem is due to the roms that i had tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viewtifuljoe71:
I've been reading some of the comments on the thread about the bad battery life that you guys get. If you are rooted, a custom kernel will do wonders for your phone. I under clock mine to 192 and over clock to 1300. I normally get 4 hours on screen time. Even if you are stock, look into rooting (custom rom and kernel) it will really help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
Hi everyone.

I've noticed that my nexus 4 isn't really able to focus properly except for fairly close shots. Everything just seems really blurry and it's even worse for HDR.

Using camera 360 it doesn't seem as bad.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catpunt:
i haven't been able to take a good picture with my n4

it takes worse pics than my galaxy nexus, i didn't think that was even possible

i'm hoping google improves it because i can't imagine the sensor is actually that bad
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
Camera sensor isn't bad. If it still remains the Sony Exmor R from the tear down, that's the same camera module in the Sony Xperia lines of phones AFAIK.

It's usually the software side of it to interpret and compress the images taken. From the looks of it though, camera quality isn't Google's top concern in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cabalja:
I'm a regular user of XDA roms for flashing, but I ran into a problem that I think should be included in every rom listing, which is the type of micro SD card supported by that particular rom. I flashed a rom a few months back that, I thought at the time, had made my Sandisk 64gb microsdhc card unuseable. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has native support for these cards and the exFat file system. I ended up recovering my data on a PC, but I sent 2 cards back to Sandisk thinking they were somehow corrupt. I eventually switched to Scott's Roms which recognized the cards just fine. My humble advice is for developers to please state which types of microsd cards are supported so that others avoid this problem thinking that their sdcards are bad. Thanks .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Why not just format it to fat32? That's what I did to mine. Also cwm does not support exfat (I found out the hard way)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tarpit_Carnivore:
This is not a ROM issue this is a Samsung issue. If you search for microsd error or microsd no longer working you will find people having this issue. The consensus I got from researching is that it has to do with how Samsung handles exFAT and that you should go with FAT32 over exFAT. I had a microSD UHS-1 Class 10 card just stop working and didn't work anywhere and I was using CleanROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
Cards using the exFAT file system cannot be read by open-source ROMs like Cyanogenmod because Microsoft owns the exFAT file system and in order to support it, Microsoft would have to be paid a licensing fee. Touchwiz-based ROMs can read them because the support is baked into Samsung's software.

If you want your card to work with all ROMs, you have to format it with the FAT32 file system. Additionally, not all formatting utilities seem to do it right for SDXC cards. I used the GUIFORMAT program detailed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773735. Unfortunately this means that you won't be able to store files larger than 4GB on your SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cabalja:
That was my understanding of the Touchwiz roms, but I just installed Galaxy MOD RLS11 and it is giving me that error "SD card safe to remove". I know there are some utilities that will format cards above the 32gb limit, but the 4gb file size is a pain for some of the movies,etc. I get with Adownloader. I have the 32gb S3 and the 64gb Ashcroft which makes me want to never own a Nexus device . No issues on Scott's rom, but it isn't as fast and it doesn't have the 4.2 camera or gallery, which I really like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Kernel has to support ExFat also so if using stock kernel and modules are still in rom should work.

[Motorola Atrix HD] ayo234:
Okay so I downloaded titanium backup so I could get rid of the at&t stuff by when I look in my storage I had less apps space on the storage graph but it says I have only 3 GB left. An when I got GL to SD and moved my data to my storage I had even less then that even though the storage graph says I don't. If any in know ho to fix thus without a restore please tell me
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
i was just wondering if i could continue his project, i know that most people are now on JB/ICS but i really like his rom and because it is on GB it has everything working.

I already have my own personal version which has seeders, disabled cpu rendering, transparent status bar and added few animations ;)

So if some one is interested i could post this version and even update it(if it's okay to continue his work)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Well, have you PM-ed him?

He might even edit his OP to point to your thread...

BTW, Seeders_v2.zip has been released, with the init.d script tuned with love (and lots of teeth-gnashing) by @ryuinferno and yours truly ;)

-- Sent from a GT-I8150 running ICS perfectly well. F'U, Sams#!t --
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Sent a PM right now.

I just flash V2 over V1 right, no deleting anything?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Yup. V2 simply overwrites V1's initscript with the tuned version.

Do give me some feedback on the results, okay?

What about general use? Any improvement? I personally feel that action games now run smoother with V2.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Yeah I do feel better, I went back to GB to try it out and found out I'm not missing much, I didn't try GB too much on this phone cuz I followed Arco's CM9 since alpha 1 lol. Anyway, bagux Rom v1.4 with seeders and disabled cpu rendering runs as good as original ICS/JB, it is fast and smooth(not as good in hard gaming though) but still rocks.

Going back top cm9 again top try hadi's new kernel with big ram and camera 720p recording

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ajac:
is it the touch screen or the LCD? I am thinking the touch digitizer because the screen looks fine just cracked and the touch screen works fine to I handed it down to the kiddo becasue I got an asus so hoping if its cheap just fix it myself. (though he does like the wifes nabi 2 )
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] serosis:
Looks like it is just the digitizer, just annoying aesthetically.

The digitizers are on sale at All4Cellular for just under $30. There is no shortage of online tutorials and video tutorials for replacing the screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ajac:
awesome thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] serosis:
Just make sure to err on the side of caution if you're replacing it yourself.

There are a lot more things that can break in the process that could render your tablet unusable.

Be patient of all things.

Absolutely outstanding very best on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
Also if you have some suggestions or ideas about improvements or usability — I will be happy if you'll post them here. Users feedback is really important for me.
[Android Apps and Games] JudgeDredd67:
Usability bould not be better, the app looks very nice and clean. The only suggestion that I would have is to support *.m4a files, not sure if it just supports mp3 or more but I did notice it doesn't recignize the few m4a files I have. Stand by my original statement "Absolutley outstanding"

Thank you.

I would really like to leave some positive feedback and ratings on Google Play but I really hate Google+.
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
At this moment app supports acc in mp4 container, mp3, wav and amr. More formats like m4a and ogg will come soon.

Thank you for your feedback, it's really nice to know that somebody is satisfied.
[Android Apps and Games] fluke73:
Really nice app

I would like to be able to move the endpoint while playing the loop so i could hear the change without pressing stop and play. Also i would like to be able to play from where i am tapping, like in the end of my marking to see that the looping fits well. As a visual representation, i would like to have the waveform as a line as an option, and more zoom .

I see the FX are coming later, what i would like there is fade out, fade in, and amplify (-/+)

I'll get back with more input on the great program as i find out more about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jake555:
first:

The app does look quite well.

second:

I have a problem with the quality of the read in mp3s.

When i load a mp3 created from youtube video, i have many distorted areas in the read in file.

But when i play the file in a different player at my android device i have no destorted clicking parts inside the music.

third:

Another issue would be to load flv file format.

conclussion:

a quite well app but with some small bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] luba6ky:
The app is very nice, and also work pretty good for me!

Nice job, and will wait for the next version with effects. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] francescod:
Good beta, I'd like to suggest you:

-an holo dark theme

-manually fade in/out

-a fully zoom-out view

thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] steven8590:
Suggestions

First of all well done for the application. I wonder whether it is possible to have an effect to increase the volume of the actual track/song i.e. make it louder, because the volume in CM 10.1 is much lower than Samsung based roms. Apart from that I really liked the application and the file manager. Nice icons.

Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] ksarmalkar:
Good Utility

Nice feature
[Android Apps and Games] ewoks:
feature and question

any advice on adding additional sounds of any format available together with default system sounds (ringing, notification, alarm sounds)?

before I made folder in storage "sdcard/audio/" and put files in different subfolders like alert, alarms, notifications, ui, ringtones but lately (on cm10.1) that doesn't work anymore..

Maybe nice option in app would be to make sound we just edited available in one of those lists from directly ringtone slicer (by coping to appropriate directory with root permissions)

Anyway.. Really good for start.. Keep rolling :) Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] nerdslogic:
+1 for increasing sound for CM10.1

This app is awesome. Thank you thank you thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Cynagen:
FINALLY! It's about time somebody put together an easy-to-use and intuitive editing interface for doing something so simple as cutting your own notifications and ringtones. I've been waiting for a piece of software like this and I thank you very much. I feel very much at home with this app!
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
First of all — thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

Based on your requests and feedbacks I've compiled sort of TODO list. Here is it:

Moving starting/end points while playing loop

Starting play on tap. It is already implemented in app, but has some bug and don't work well

More zoom levels

More audio formats

Holo dark theme

And, of course, Fade In/Out, Normalization, Compression effects.
[Android Apps and Games] defiftyae:
The app is excellent I like the simple interface. I like the way they show up with the stock ringtones. the question I have is how do you delete ringtones you don't want? And will they be removed from the default ringtone selection. Thanks again excellent app.
[Android Apps and Games] jpt19:
I am very thankful for a Ringtone maker that does not require tons of unnecessary permissions.

I refuse to download any of the ones in the Google Play store due to that.

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mapiarz:
Does you app allow the user to manually input crop start and end times (with precision up to miliseconds)? That's a must have.
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
If you want to delete unusefull ringtones — they will be at /sdcard/Ringtones/Ringtone Slicer/ folder. Remove files and after reboot (or media scanner run) they will be removed from settings list.

Thanks for your feedback. :)

No, it doesn't have that feature for now. There will be more zoom levels in future versions, so I don't think that manual input is necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] Mapiarz:
It's very hard for someone with large fingers to accurately select by sliding. It'd be much easier to implement those scrolling toruses (dunno how that control is called) for minutes, seconds and miliseconds for both start and end. Imho it's a must, but do what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] V0odo0 Dev:
Really necessary app. Thanks!

Need some help finding and setting MP3 as ringtones

love the app but having some problems with my rogers razr xt910 ics 4.0.4

Able to load mps, slice it..it asks me to save it to ringtones and rename if required..click ok and appears to save it..I re-boot my phone and try to change ringtones to what I just created but it's not icluded on my list of ringtones and when I search for the file for the life of me I cannot find it on external card
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
Thank you for submitting bug report. Did you get any toast message after unsuccessfull saving?
[Android Apps and Games] bpopman:
No message..it appears to save the sliced file and place a number before the actual name of file ie. "2182154563" acdc tnt.mp3
[Android Apps and Games] jimmod:
Really nice application.

Work fine on my Galaxy Note 2

From my point of view more audio format support is one of the important things (ogg, m4a)

Then some sound effects feature

Insert other audio file might also interesting

[MENTION=3941471]sergeyotro[/MENTION] are you still working on this app? Or is it abandoned? I have no intention of asking for an ETA, just wanted to know if you still are working/going to work on this :)
[Android Apps and Games] sergeyotro:
Hey! Ringtone Slicer isn't my first-priority app right now, but I have TODO list for this app and I'm working on it, so, sooner or later there will be an update. :)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I hope you get the chance to add the above from your todo list to the project.

I am using the app for quick editing of music files, cutting parts thar I do not want and it works well, but with added zoom levels and fade in and out it would be perfect.

Also, in regards to moving start/end markers, it would be vert helpful if there is an easy way to add them, such as long clicking waveform at desired time. Or clicking at a particular place to add marker at specific time. Currently I have to drag the start time to desired location, or zoom out drag zoom in etc.

I.E.

​

The procedure is not practical, which is why an easier way would be great.
