[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] livio80:
You can try installing Lenovo Super Camera (via recovery or via apk). it has a function called PIP that is similar to Samsung Dual Shot.

when the Samsung app shoot two photos at the same time, this progam will first shoot a photo and then the other one on the other hand. It is full of settings that Samsung app has not!

Only problem is that this application has the tendency to heat up the phone. You will have to root and install "Autorun Manager". With "Autorun Manager" you can deactivate all voices about Lenovo application; Lenovo application will work alike perfectly but will not get warm your phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amagdy81:
I wanted to downgrade the firmware on my galaxy S4 I9500 from BMG9 to BMG1 for the battery life because even when I bought a new original battery from samsung still the drain is high but the phone doesn't get hot as before. When I install the older firmware, the phone loses the mobile network signal and doesn't connect even if I choose the network manually so I have to reinstall the BMG9 again for it to work, can anybody help me with this situation? Thanks

Edit:

I found a solution through flashing the MG1 firmware with MG9 modem through odin but will this work as MG1 or the modem is controlling all the battery drainage and cell signal. I also believe that the problem came from a faulty imei??
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Note: This tool requires a Linux environment to run. Tested only on Ubuntu 12.04

Please report any bugs that you found here!

This is a tool to pack CWM recovery with any kernel and ramdisk on Linux, for the Xperia M (and very likely the Xperia M Dual also, but you are advised to replace the kernel and ramdisk with the one for Xperia M Dual)

How to use:

Extract the files to any location

Place the kernel zimage as `workdir/kernel`

Write the kernel command line to `workdir/cmdline`

Place the ramdisk (must be in gzip format) as `workdir/boot/boot.gz`

Run the script `cwm-packer`

The boot image is created as `combined-boot.img`. Flash it with `fastboot flash boot combined-boot.img`

(For older versions before 2013-12-20 only) The kernel and ramdisk included is the stock C1905 kernel and ramdisk. CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.4 (same as this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2480556)

Source code:

The tool itself is a shell script, it is the source code itself.

The CWM recovery is built using the source code on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2480556

(For older versions before 2013-12-20 only) The kernel and boot ramdisk is extracted from stock ROM.

Kernel source: https://github.com/alvinhochun/sony-xperia-m-kernel

Changelog:

Notes: if anyone needs the older CWM 6.0.3.7 (2013-10-15b) for any reasons, you can find it in the "File" -> "Manage revisions" on Google Drive.

[Sony Xperia M] soeltz7fold:
is this working for Locked Bootloader???

sorry for my idiot question:rolleyes:

is the tool support for installed cwm on Locked Bootloader???:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Sorry, no, this tool is only useful for unlocked bootloader. Most likely useful to kernel developers to integrate CWM to their kernel (technically the boot image).

I said I thought of a way to put CWM to locked bootloader, well it would be a hacky way, may be unstable, and I will need quite some time to get it working. I also need testers who are not afraid of reflashing to factory state.

[Sony Xperia M] DanDare_77:
Hello,

I want to use the script to make the CWM recovery image but Im not sure how to get the kernel and ramdisk to use on script. Can anyone confirm if this process is right:

I copied kernel.sin from the ftf file, opened the file on flashtool under "tools->Sin editor->Extract data" this produced the file kernel.elf. Then using flashtool under "tools->extractors->elf" selected the kernel.elf file then pressed "unpack". After this process I ended with 2 files: "kernel.elf.Image" and "kernel.elf.ramdisk.gz".

These are the two files I can use with the script to produce the CWM recovery image? I guess the "kernel.elf.Image" contains the 2k header? Anyway, I can just use these files straight on the script and Im good to go?

Also Im not sure about the step n.3 on the instructions:

"3. Write the kernel command line to `workdir/cmdline`"

What you mean by "write the kernel command line" ?

Apreciate any clue on this!

[EDITED]

By the contents of 'wordir/cmdline' it seems it contains instructions for boot, so, no need to write anything but just use the provided 'cmdline' as it is? P.S. Im on Xperia M dual (C2004), but crossflashed a C1904 firmware on it.
[Sony Xperia M] DanDare_77:
Alright,

Everything went well using the files as I described.

I didn't found any CWM combined bootloader for the ROM I'm using (15.1.A.1.9) so I put it here attached in case it can be useful for someone in the future.

Thanks again for this script and CWM build !

[EDITED]

No, not much luck trying to upload the image, maybe cause Im a new user or something

[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
Okay,so i made this thread so that development thread become less spammed with your questions.

Please,share your opinions here and ask questions,someone will answer you,and share your screenshots of battery life.

I personally use PegasusQ+VR,it gives great performance and good battery life.

My second choice would be Abyssplug+SIO,especcialy for the hotplug feature.

(In case you dont know what Hotplug is,its the feature that turns off the second core when your phone is not in use.)

I cant decide wich is better,tommorow ill test Hotplug+sio,and ill post screenshots of both tommorow.

Please,ask any questions here,dont spam Benz's threads.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] aavvaallooss:
OnDemand + CFQ (Like in stock ROM) the only way that don´t dry my battery.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
With that combination my phone is slow like hell..have you tried those that i wrote.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] aavvaallooss:
Yes, but my batteryd doesn't like them very much
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
thats odd
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ashc13:
Hi, can you tell me the best combination of governors to use. I'm using latest cm

10.1 maclaw build with hotplug and noop, but i think CPU its not sleeping cause i loose about 5% battery in 2hours withought using my fone at all. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] metalboy94:
Hotplug governor is indeed a joke, at least in Maclaw's CM (not surprised). There is no way to set it up for low battery drain /and/ reasonably smooth functionality. Right now I am using Ondemand + CFQ while playing with the powersave bias and up threshold parameters. The only thing I wish I had from Maclaw/Benz's kernel is the vr/sio schedulers.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
You have VR and sio schelduer in Benz's kernel,and Abyssplug governor with real hotpulg feature,when you dont use the phone cpu shuts down one core and the remaining core runs on 200Mhz and 1% usage.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] metalboy94:
I would gladly use that kernel if it didn't have the dirty flickering fix. And if it didn't require CM10.1 reboot edition.

Also, when I was on CM i ran a logcat with hotplug activated. The second core would often reactivate even if the phone wasn't doing anything, with the screen turned off, then soon turn off and after a few seconds repeat the process. Maybe this phone really needs the core.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
What flicketing fix? I got no flickering on the latest Maclaws cm and benzs kernel..and it shuts down the core,you can see with system monitor when your screen is on..dunno for screen off,but i get like 1% drained for a hour with screen off
[Galaxy S III Mini General] metalboy94:
The 63 fps refresh rate, which "fixes" the UI flickering.

And yes, I saw the second core turning off myself. However, I am not sure if it keeps being off enough time.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
Well in maclaws rom i dont have flickering,but in olivers i had. I dont know,i got decent battery life. Not good as stock,but its ok
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Nemo1984:
Which is more battery friendly? Abyssplug or Pegasusq?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mauam:
Read this. It will help you to decide which is the best for your needs:good::good:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] AssToast:
Pegasusq said to have hotplugging but doesnt seem to work with screen on
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Nemo1984:
Based on what I read, my best guess would be Abyssplug. I'll run some tests and will post my results.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mauam:
Yes, it only turn off one core when the screen off. I'm testing pegasusq + sio:)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Nemo1984:
For the next days, I'll be on abyssplug + sio.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
And what exactly is so wrong with 63 fps refresh rate? Will your screen fry because of it? No it won't because it can't. Will your phone explode while being used? No it won't because it can't. What's the issue here then? Tell me.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] metalboy94:
Have you considered the battery drain implications? The battery is weak enough as it is, a higher than normal refresh rate only wastes more GPU power thus more battery.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
Battery consumption is negligible with this hack, in fact it's so small it's not even worth mentioning.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
Well,i kinda agree with both of you.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
OK, define what you mean by kinda agree. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josip-k:
Well,so we have 63 fps refresh rate,and small battery drain from it,so since our battery is the biggest **** already,this is "kinda" a problem,but i wouldnt call it useless,i agree more with you Benz. On olivers rom,screen is twiching all the time. I think its really not worth the hassle,i think we dont have such battery drain from it that its noticable.

Benz,i have to agree with you. :)

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] robal:
Hi

The so called "backup battery" should keep your data for a few minutes when main battery is removed.

If you immediately loose date after short main batt absence, your backup battery may be old/damaged.

The backup battery is inexpensive coin-like Ni-MH battery.

Can be user replaceable if you know how to hold a screwdriver :)

Go to settings -> system -> power and check the backup battery power reading.
