OK. I can see how some might read it that way. I'll break it down for you.

Clean Flash:

Format System

Format Data

Format Cache (Some also say to wipe dalvik but there is no need to as it's stored in data.)

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik again

Reboot

Dirty Flash:

NOTE: This only works if flashing a newer version of same ROM

Format System

Format Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Wipe cache/dalnik again

Reboot

Hope that makes it a little clearer for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Well, kinda. Don't forget 'lib/modules'! Need those for sure. Then there's is the part that the kernel wasn't build in a pure CM10.2 environment. To numerous to mention, there are different versions of all the device trees+frameworks+system+build+vendor+++. My best guess would be a no boot at worst. Or boot and fail selinux on reboot. (On any other rom then the one it's built for)

Every rom needs a kernel to build on. ....and...the other way, any kernel is most compatible when built for/in a specific rom.

Any custom rom that might be around out in it's own thread is al least, built in a CM environment and will me most compatible with cm. There may be other tweaks to help out compatibility with other roms.

Then there is stuff like mohan's mind blowing kernels. Those are like art. Only with official/stock/touchwiz based roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I get it now, and appreciate it, perhaps that can be copied to the OP. I was curious about the kernel by itself because sometimes if you play around with voltages to test, can cause lockups and bootloops, having the kernel handy by itself you can always revert and flash the default kernel (that was my thought)

Yes I came from mohan_kr TW ROM after running it for years, however TW seems sluggish over time on i727, so I am here trying this ROM, I am so far loving it. I found massive battery drain when on LTE, with the last revision, havent tested this revision yet.

Like browsing the net on LTE I went from 40% to 30% in approx 10min... lots to test out still, not giving up hope on this ROM yet !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
I figured he just wanted to flash the kernel on top of the bootloop. So no need for libs/modules. Those are easy enough to pull out of the ROM as well. Add a program like Beyond Compare and a noob is on his way to not being a noob.

Speaking of kernels. Franco and Faux already have beta builds up for the N5. It's like kernel nirvana. lol

New build up and running just fine. I did have to fix the DPI a bit though. It's huge. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Absolutely right. However. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME, lol, I would ever say it's ok to dirty flash. Is if it's the identical rom as the one it's flashing over. That's, wipe cache, dalvik AND format system.

Then again, simply doing a factory reset does wonders. You will loose your user app data....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Right on I like the post above it is nice a clear. Just noticed something with Camera, if you go into Settings you can't select the far left or far right icon, figure might want to know that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Well I guess so....lol Faux123, another kernel artist. I ported some of his tables into this version of moretz from GingerBread days! haha Way nicer I think. Added 3-4 more steps. To me it's like a dimmer switch. The more times you divide the whole, the smoother the effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah DPI is working well in google apps (talk / gmail) the DPI is like stock i727, I am actually use to it, however your last revision i was getting use to the higher res or DPI

I will have to try to maybe pull the kernel out of your build here and make it it's own zip. Wouldn't mind having your default kernel for this ROM on my external SD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ya, your half right but it's qwerky and isn't quite the way it should be. You can get to those 2 outside options. You have to leave your thumb on the screen and glide to those options. Then it works. Just tapping doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Right on man, I really like the speed of this app. I just have to spend a few days still testing battery, mainly on LTE. I do like the volume on to wake the phone as these phones have power button issues (already had that once) so takes less pressing the power button now.

I dunno if you want to toss your kernel in the OP sometime or I can try to unpack it and .zip to have handy. Thanks for all the suggestions and answers guys. I really want to stay on this ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
If you or anybody has a kernel problem, get in touch with me. (PM will do). See, if I supply a kernel to the OP like that, I'm gonna get 30 questions/problems in the thread because somebody flashed it on pacman or something. 2 probs there. It strays outside the scope here. I don't support other roms and it isn't a kernel thread.

Your idea of having an option out is good, but to be safe, better off with the options said earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Ah OK that makes sense and I respect that. I just know from experiences, if you adjust cpu clock or voltes etc under the performance section, sometimes you can get lockups, restarts, SOD, bootloops, to which is why I asked. I guess you could always just nandroid before messing with that, mind you I am not sure if the nandroid takes the 'working' kernel with it, when you make a backup of the ROM. That or just don't mess with performance options in any way....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I know!! lolol I dislike it that way. But it was the idea of the original dev that since we added such a good dpi mod, better off not setting it. Just let the users do it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
Makes sense. DU did make it pretty easy to do on this with hybrid properties. Also the battery bar around lockscreen is pretty sweet. Having BLN back looks promising but I haven't been able to get it to work yet. I'm still playing around trying to break things. I'm also gonna try and get viper working on this since the Rocket will be my MP3 player soon.

Edit:

Gestures? Holy useful batman. I'm gonna be playing with this one for days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I know, I know! You can see why I, at least, would have rolled out a few updates by now, right? .....and don't think it's going to stop here. There will be more...hehehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
Hey wanna do me a favor? Next time your on IRC with the DU boys find out who there going to have as maintainer for the N5. I'd be stoked to see you over there. That place good use some positive vibes right now. Oh and sorry for the thread drift.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Somehow it got out that I am getting a N5. Not sure how that happened but I don't have a plan as of yet to get one. Doesn't mean I can't build a rom for it tho, right? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pubcat:
Yes. Video is not working for me either.

Certainly, we can't be the only ones...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
You build it. I'll flash it. lol I'm sure there will be official support soonish though. I'll have my N5 by Friday so if you have any questions about the device shoot me a PM.

Now back to gestures. Just noticed they can be activated from anywhere. So far I made 3 direct dial contacts. Nice to not have to skip back to go forward. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Hmmmm, it works for me but might not be storing recorded video.

Edit: If I can patch it quickly, I will post a patch here and pull the OP link and rebuild for that. "IF".

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION] : camcorder patch works! Very nice!

Video record is still broke on Instagram though. And I'm only mentioning it cause I've been know to use it lots and it works on the latest CM build. Just a heads up.

Aside from my wonky lock screen clock issues everything is running fast and furious! Thanks and Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I find this ROM just EATS battery when in LTE, I am having a hard time giving up the ROM because it is so dam FAST ! I have been looking at wakelocks etc and can't seem to find anything that is making the phone drain so much. I will post battery images later to give you an idea. I basically have to keep LTE off to get somewhat of a good battery life. If I use LTE and browse the net etc, I will lose approx 4-5% withing 5-6 minutes.

I will have to test the patch later for the camera recording issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wolverine9827:
I may be jumping the gun a little but 4.3.1.61 is on its way down... I'm guessing this is 4.3.1.60 with the camera patch (and maybe some others) included..... I am SO freaking stoked.... love DU... my DD.... DUDD? NO WAY! :D

Way to go wantowan2!!! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:
I have to agree that the battery is suddenly horrid. With LTE the device gets very warm and drops battery faster than it can charge. A little better on Wifi but still eating battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alanjames01:
I would say that my device is pretty good on DU. My performance setting is set on smartass/noop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I am glad I am not the only one seeing the battery issue. I was going to play around with the performance settings a bit, and govs, but last time I did I got stuck in some bootloops and don't have the kernel to flash to revert in case it doesn't like my settings

Here is an example today of battery life. I disabled LTE for the most part because when I used LTE today I noticed my charge went down 10% in approx 15-20mins

One screen is right off the charger this morning 3% drain in 17min, other is from today's use.

Maybe there are some performance settings or governors I can adjust to get better life ?

I love this ROM the speed is too good, everything is FAST no lag or anything, it runs so dam smooth ! However, with every ROM there is always the test to battery life. I hope I can get it to where I am use to, Perhaps some of the vets/users of this ROM have some suggestions :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alanjames01:
Wow. Download cpu spy app. This will give you a good indication of how your cpu is running during the day and how much deep sleep it is getting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yes I have that app, you can actually look in the ROM itself too, but I am aware of usage via app or ROM. Just changed off of TW to try this, speed is outstanding, just suffering on battery life is all I have to try to figure out.

If I go to 1.2ghz (underclock) and 192, phone/kernel doesn't like it, locks up, and bootloops
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Which isn't? I am not sure what you are saying by that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
As for Battery, we have to make sure to read the OP regarding 'wakelocks', we have a blocker now. I included BBS too. Would be good to know exactly what type of process is draining it.

This latest updat should be better on batt if anything.

Things that cause undo battery drain other then wakelocks:

- Dirty flashing roms

-wifi scanning all the time, adjust in settings

-Screen time ; set off time to 30-60 sec

-media scanner ; tons of saved data ie pics, vids. Have to be scanned , now in between boots, adjust in settings

- games, duhh

- music, duhh

...even BLN burns battery.

I am not putting this all on you guys. I am now looking further into this and have already notice 1 process.

So if you are having batt issues, please try and use what you can to minimize and isolate what is doing it, then we can help. ;-P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
No battery issues here at all. Drain of about 6% per hour. That's with listening to music for 8 hours today. Only about 1 hour screen on but lots of checking email on data, Wifi on the whole time but NOT connected. GPS on. BT on. Still at 26% with a 2300mAh battery. This thing sips battery. It's also with stock settings. I didn't have time last night to do anything with android tuner. So interactive stock frequencies with NO UV.

For everyone having battery issues install BBS and do some research. It is not the ROM. If you need help there's a great wakelock guide in this very forum. There's also a ton of knowledge willing to help in this thread. Set this ROM up right and it blows away the rest of them(personal opinion there).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Awesome rom Wantowan2! I just switched again from CM and it's smoother than ever. Question, are the advanced settings implemented with the keys backlit option? I know on the first page it says "What's next," but I don't know if that was post is still valid. Thanks again.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Ummm, BBS is included in /data with this ROM already, in case you didn't notice it. ;) [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION] said this in the post right before yours, but the two posts might have crossed paths...

The battery life IS good if you take the time to inspect and manage the wakelocks. For newcomers to DU, probably the biggest one right away is the default 30min. screen on time (if that's still the way it is in v4.0 build 1.2, haven't flashed it yet).

We are very lucky to have such a responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable dev bringing us this awesome ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
LOL. You mean that post I quoted? Didn't see it and I dirty flashed so I didn't notice it. Good idea to make that an included app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I thought I was seeing some unneeded processes too. So I reviewed my wakelock settings and charged to 100%. Unplugged and let it sit, sleeping for 14+ min. There were maybe 23 secs of charger related stuff that needed to resolve but that's it. Good rule of thumb and I can't say for sure right now but I think a reboot after changing wakelock settings would be smart?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Hm interesting, I looked at the wakelock blocker with the ROM but didn't know which ones to block to be honest. I don't use BLN, screen on time is 30sec, not using BLN, not playing music, no bluetooth, no WiFi.

I charged to 100% tonight and just let it sit on my desk, 5hours un-used and down to 66%. I have a wakelock app to check wakelocks, and the ones that seem high in time and instances are

PowermanagerService Wakelock

PowermanagerService Display

Main

mmc3_detect

I love the ROM just guess I need to know how to solve my issue. I can't see anything in WakeLock Blocker that relates to these :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
In post...hmmm #3 I think in the OP I mention this. Look here and see if you can find a connection between those 4 items, how they translate from info HERE, perhaps apps on your phone and then wakelock blocker.

See that post in the OP for pics that may help choose what to pick in the blocker. I would say choose 3 and then see how it works for you. Then another 3 and so on.... That way it will be easier to track what they are doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pubcat:
Lol!

This thread is so much fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:

Edit: Sometimes when I'm tired I ramble a bit....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
Powermanagerservice.wakelocks will always be high. It's a place holder for all other wakelocks. You need to open BBS and look at partial wakelocks to figure out where to start. Go to settings>advanced and give it root access while your at it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pubcat:
All well.

I'm just on a post rehearsal drunk and reasoning.

I should turn my phone off for the duration of now. Lol! :D

Thank you for the responses, I can tell some of you are upset with me, and I was not blaming the ROM, it is a fantastic ROM. I needed some knowledge on some things was all. I played around with the wakelocks and disabled a lot in the list with 'WakeLock Blocker' (ROM Control) So I hope I can see results.

I apologize for not wrapping my head around things off the get go, and thank you for assisting in the above posts.

Haha, no worries. Ask away. I would rather you came here and ask something then maybe get in trouble with something. Remember, when you use the 'wakelock blocker', try only 2-3 at a time. That way you can see what happens over some time. Then, if it is ok, go back and try 2-3 more...etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thank you. Yah I just tossed on the most recent update 06-11-2013 (.61) previous to that I locked up a lot of wakelocks almost the whole list and read a post, someone posted here about google services. I also changed the Governor and IO Scheduler to test

I am just charging up to 100% and going to leave it unplugged over night on the desk to see what the battery is at when I wake up. Do you recommend using this app...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en

I have used it before with TW ROMS seemed to do alright, removes and creates a new batterystats.bin file , anyways let me know if you think it is worth trying on this or useless (does nothing)

Thanks again, next few days going to monitor my adjustments, the speed of this ROM is too hard to pass up :)

I wish I could get the DPI back that was used in .22, tried but couldn't get it to adjust correctly

So far lost 10% in 32min
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
Lots of debate about apps like those. It works for a lot of people. Some don't like apps like it and just manage the phone themselves with a few tools like BBS, android tuner(or the like). Think of it this way. Using that app is like bringing your car to a mechanic. The engine is running poorly. He fixes it and your happy. You still have no idea what was wrong or how to fix it. People like myself prefer to learn how to fix it instead of relying on the mechanic. So I'd say read up on various ways to improve your device and do it yourself. You're on the right track with wakelocks but there is a lot more you can do to optimize battery. It just takes putting in the time to learn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yup I have been reading away on a few posts, my whole list in the ROMs 'WakeLockBlocker' are check boxed and in red. As well I detached from google services using this post....

Now looking at BBS I still see a few pop up even though I don't see the new instance in the 'WLB' --- so I am just troubleshooting away. I agree with you, rather know the source and fix it rather then using the app, however just trying different things to see how they pan out :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I have noticed that a boot in there helps. Now, it shouldn't need it, but....
