I think you may be right.

As I said before, I can get to it by %TEMP% and search rom.zip.

I can extract the Boot.Img

But cannot get the system.img

CAN ANY1 TELL ME HOW TO GET A WORKING BASE? GAAAAH !
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Steal someone elses base ;)
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Can't do that :/

I may have to ask someone I guess.

How do all of these people producing JB ROM's get their base if theres this new encryption?

Do you reckon a system dump would provide me the relevant files?

Thanks for all your help tho mate !!!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Maybe its best to ask one of the other rom chefs i guess. I'm not into building roms or anything. I have little to no knowledge about those things.....sorry :(
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
No worries mate you've been great.

I've mailed Mike as he has a stock ROM but I don't want to just download it without his permission :/

Do you reckon a system dump would work?

If so why has no one dumped yet? Haha
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I would like to know that too, maybe mike can shine some light on this question. Would you mind to keep me informed. I would like to know how this is going to end :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
I would imagine they will install the ruu. cat /system

cat /data/app/ etc...

Then build a base zip to work from

Note this would have to be done on Linux to keep file permissions
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Spoken to mike, he just didn't give me an answer on this specific question. :/

Could you explain in more detail?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
And did he gave permission ?
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
To use his stock ROM yes :D

But is it going to give the same error as the others I've been trying?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Dont know.....just try :D

Hi Guys,

So I was feeling adventurous and decided to update to XWLSD jelly bean from my previous stock T mobile UK 4.04. I also rooted my phone using SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta4.

Now not doing anything on my phone for the morning from 8am to 12pm I'm down to 44% battery life :( Before it could last like 10hrs and still have 60-70%.

Any ideas what could be draining it so much. I have turned off WIFI, Google now already.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If this is your first day after flashing it could be normal. Your battery needs to settle again. Try this:

1. Charge to 100%

2. Take out your battery

3. Charge again untill 100%

If after that it still persists, it could have a different cause e.g. app/kernel/rom.

Yeah this seems to be quite an issue with the LSJ/8/D roms. Turn on battery saving and make sure you turn off wifi when not using. This seemed to help allot when I was using sammy jb roms.

It could be anything really, modem, kernel, rom etc, we will just have to wait and see if its resolved via new kernel/modem or rom update.

Well first you had good signal but it got worse and worse. Maybe flash your carrier's modem or the one you used on 4.0.4. This alone should get you about 20% more power to begin with.

i did the same, just installed omega rom, then dorimanx kernel, pushed on reset battery cauge (on stweaks app, that comes with dorimanx kernel) than drained out battery till phone got shutdown, then charge it normally to 100%, turn of, take out battery for 2 mins, then put it back ,and charge back to 100% again. For the moment battery is behaving normally, few calls, few mins of wifi. 3hours 37minutes - 95% battery left!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phozy888:
hhmmm maybe its due to the crap signal I get at work which is killing the batt. 1hr 54min on batt down to 74% already. :( its not very green in the signal section, very scattered.

I did try a new kernal yesterday - I took off Siyah and put Philz 4.5 on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Following this, I set myself to see how long would the battery last on it's first 100% charge (while phone was on).

I xda-ded a little bit, reply some texts & whatsapps. See my wifi connection there? I was bunkered inside my bedroom which is located almost out-of-reach from the Router, and that's a drainer!

WiFi while I was away (next to the router).

So I went at it,

xda-ded

,

youtubed

,

browsed

,

surfed

till I ran outta juice.

Wonder if a strong Wifi signal woulda improved screen time (less drain because of weak signal), guess I won't know till I read a book for 6 hours straight

Thinking 2000 mAh battery? Thinking Custom Kernel? No, all stock. Would it dropped from 2% to 1% in less of a minute...?

CPU spy stats with runtime on Nordic.

So, battery offed, plugged in the charger and got some sleep. Woke up (of course it was passed 100%), unplugged it - while it was off- took out the battery for like 90 seconds (that placebo thing) and powered it on. After I while I get these (remember I did the media scanner workaround

copying DCIM fo ext. SD and setting it as default for media

):

Forgot to say I've got all location services disabled, didn't even opened google now search bar hence

didn't disable it properly

.

Some of you will see this creen time as odd, don't worry, so do I, it's the best screen time I got for 45 min (and no weak wifi signal that other time). The thing is that charging took like 3 and a 1/2 hours, way too slow, happened with LS8 as well, don't remember about LSJ tho. So, slow charge allowed the battery to endure? You guys tell me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
On ICS I was getting 4 and half hours screen on time.

I tried to install Lean Kernel from CWM and it said No zImage was found.

So I rebooted into CWM and i runned the cleaning script then i tried to upload the lean kernel and it said installation completed.

But when i go to check kernel version its still DPI there..... i dont know what am i doing it noob way,,, I dont want to go back to the original rom becasue these are much better.

Fuel gauge is still settling in, se the peaks there? That means that when you checked the battery befor bed wasn't 26 %...so the drain might have been less than 12 % (26 - 14).

And jelly bean does a couple of things that ICS doesn't, just like GB does less than ICS.

But i didnt tried to wipe the battery yet. Now its on charger waiting to reach 100% then i will wipe it as following method:

- Method 4 -

1. Download the app from the market called battery calibration

2. Charge your phone turned on preferably overnight or at least a long period.

3. When the phone is fully charged and then to 100%, unplug, open the program and click Battery Calibration.

4. Now you can disconnect the phone.

5. And 'suggested by the creator of the app (but not necessary) to leave the phone will download after recalibrating the battery, then just leave it off and recharge it fully up to 100% with no breaks ...

If you turn off airplaine mode you're device will have to wake all signal related on so yeah, you should expect a little drain there. That being said it's not wise to constantly switch A.M on and off.

Check the battery graphic, you'll see the "screen on" tab and "awake" tab, if they match, that means that you're device is getting some solid sleep while screen is off.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Sleep as your phone doing nothing when it's supposed to do nothing. Doesn't stay awake nor wake up. It's resting to be fully up when you need it :)

I just removed the slim and put back an original samsung rom.

But if i root it then the kernel will be a custom one again and possible it will drain the battery again.

Am I right?

Sometimes the kernel draining the engery not the rom. Right?

Instead of uploading a Syiah kernel i would use just an insecure kernel But i coudlnt find the appropriate one. I have XWLP7 stock kernel now.

Here is the issue: my battery doesn't last more than 12 hours (WiFi + Cellular). The problem is the WiFi. Let me show why:
