clockwork problem

hello all, having a little problem here. first off, this rom is BEAST!!!

im never had issues with clockwork recovery in the past, however after i flashed this rom and try to boot into manual recovery mode, on my screen my only options are the reboot system , reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. there s no option to flash zip from sd card like i have seen before. (im trying to install a different lock screen thats why i need to get in this mode.) In rom manager my current recovery is 2.5.1.2. ive tried reinstallng rom manager with no luck. am i missing a step here? ive flashed eugenes and bionix's rom before and never had this problem

on a side note, on my facebook page it says, "download a facebook app for your galaxy tab," is it suppose to be say that?
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
Hey moonfire, I took your suggestion and ran this app since last night. Took it off charger at 2am and let the monitor on. At 9am it was already down to 85%.

Here is the list of top apps. Let me know what this means.

System Processes 0.6% (what is this???)

system 0.3% (and this??)

Beautiful Widgets 0.1%

Gmail 0.1%

SystemPanel 0.1%

Dialer 0.1%

Everything else below is 0.0%
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
I am having the same problem. Is this because this froyo version does not support 2E recovery? That's alarming because I cannot flash another ROM and I am not familiar using odin. Please someone reply!
[Vibrant Android Development] pelmenept:
hey, same here. Battery is not bad, but definitely worse than Bionix 1.9.1.

In Testing Menu (*#*#4636#*#*), it shows running - 100%, screen on - 20%, which should not be happening. Running should just be a little higher than "Screen ON". Basically it never goes to sleep.

But can't figure out which process is doing that.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
System: this is the OS and it's normal for this to run.

System Processes: if you tap this, you will get a list of processes and by trial and error, you can freeze system processes (or apps) with titanium backup until you find which these are. Suspend should be at the top of the list after waking up your phone from a long sleep, such as over night.

Also, if you look at your graph of your cpu history after having your phone in a suspend state overnight, you should see the cpu graph somewhere below 1% during that time and possibly even see gaps in your graph. If you see it running around 3% or more consistently through the night while in suspend, you probably have a rough app or process steeling your battery and trying to send some sort of data over the net, or running some sort of unnecessary code.

Hope that helps some.

Edit: Also, if you tap each process in systempanel individually, you can see it's graph and see when it was running highest. You can also tap "compare" to compare to the overall cpu graph.
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
Just go into rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery again. Then reboot into recovery and click install packages. That should take you into the green letters (Clockwork instead of system recovery) you're looking for.
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
It's built right in, no app needed. From home screen/menu/settings/wireless and network. It's the 5th one down.
[Vibrant Android Development] pmnuon:
thanks homie!! it worked
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
I am attaching some screenshot, maybe you can make some sense of it.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Only if you think it will help the group. Otherwise, just pm me.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
What app is this?
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
In the graph you can see a pattern of a spike roughly every hr. I am not sure what that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
SystemPanel... not the Lite version
[Vibrant Android Development] lorendroll:
My GPS doesn't work! GPS status shows me 0/10 - 0/12 but NO location. I tried V1 and V2 - it's the same. Were trying for 30 minutes few times a day, no result :'( Stock GPS works perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Ok, so you should only be seeing spikes in the 10% and above when you are actually using your phone. From what I can see, newsrob and beautiful widgets are attempting to access the internet when the phone is suppose to be in a suspend state and this is using high cpu for short intervals. If you stop using these, you will find some extra battery life.

If you click on any of these apps or processes, you can scroll down on the next screen and then click compare. Then you can see on those graphs where the apps were being using in comparison to the over all cpu usage graph. This will help you track which apps and processes are stealing your battery when your phone should be in standby.

Edit: Here is a pic of my phone over the last two hours, mostly in standby or suspend state.

See how the blue bars match the high green bars. That's when I had the screen on and was using my phone. Other times, the cpu was less than 1% or even 0%. Meaning, I don't have widgets or apps running in the background. I do have two drm services, media hub, and rescue frozen in titanium backup right now, but that is all.

Edit: seeing that no one is posting now, I think I may have just boosted the sales of systempanel. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
Moonfire, thanks for your help! I do have the DRM and media hub frozen as well and a few other useless processes frozen too.

As for widgets stealing battery life, I do realize that as well. So I guess you have no widgets running at all? I'll have to figure out how to put these widgets to sleep during night time...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
The only widget I use is switchpro. Everything else, I look up when I need to. Nothing is left to run on it's own as I prefer battery life over instant gratification.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
Battery life is pretty bad on this thing. Other then that the rom is great
[Vibrant Android Development] nerdrum:
Any idea on how to fix this?

can't mount /sd card can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 device or resource busy.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Try reading the last 20 posts or so before you post something. You might find it interesting enough to actually teach you something about your phone and battery life.:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Search search search. This has been talked about in this thread numerous times. there are solutions, but unless you search, I'm just gonna tell you to Odin back to stock and reflash this rom. That will fix it too.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
I posted the solution. search for the error message in this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
Hey, I agree with you there, but I am not really complaining about the battery that much, it lasts me through the day. There is a fully charged up battery waiting for me patiently at home when I need to make a switch :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Etrnaly:
It seems there are some of us who have this problem, but not everyone? Maybe there's something in common with those of us who are having this problem? I've tested my download speeds before and I was getting 2500 to 3000 kbps using speedtest.net on 2.1. With the Froyo ROMs, I'm getting between 300 to 600 kbps download. Upload seems normal at around 1000 to 1300 kbps. I have the Vibrants with the larger NAND. I have downloaded stuff from the Market and it does seem pretty slow, so I don't think it's just a speedtest thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, I have a case on the phone that is a pain to get off for a battery switch. How are you charging your extra battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
Is anyone else having problems with 2.2 recognizing the sd cards? I have installed this ROM first, then all of the other 2.2 ROMS except for Macnut and my phone does not recognize either sd card. Even when attempting to mount them in clockwork recovery I cannot see them. But if I flash 2.1 again the magically reappear. I have searched and searched since Monday night and I cannot find a solution...
[Vibrant Android Development] nerdrum:
Fixing Permissions doesn't work, going into CWR and trying to force a reflash from there doesn't work, the phone hangs then just automatically reboots back to homescreen without going into recovery. I'm a mac user so odin is kind of not possible for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
I got one of those cheap combos from eBay (charger, 2 batts and a cable). I have an official tmo batt that I got as a replacement, so that is my primary 2nd battery that I switch to when this one drains dead.

Yeah the hybrid flex case is a ***** to take out, but hey... boom!!! in a flash that 100% is staring back at ya :)
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Unlike before clockwork cannot boot to its recovery anymore. I always have to select reinstall package from stock recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] wilkins.cc:
Wifi Calling

I don't know if I just missed something or what, but how do I turn on wifi calling? I can't seem to find any options to do so.
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
It didn't work for me either, untill i went back to my stock 2.1 ROM, and re-did everything except installing (Bionix_Obsidian_v1) I installed (Bionix_Obsidian_v2). Then everything worked. Make sure you installed version 2 instead of version 1.
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
I am having a lot of problems on V1..GPS is off by 5 miles, constant force closes, orientation changing is lagging, I cannot write files to my internal SD card etc. Long story short I used a file manager to move the V2 zip to the internal SD card and I attempted to reboot into clockwork recovery to perform a nandroid backup and then reflash V2.

The problem I am having is I cannot boot into clockwork recovery. The phone boots into Android recovery instead. I checked and CR has superuser permissions.

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
Click reinstall packages a time or two to get clockwork
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
Ok i'll give that a try. I was also having a similar problem on Bionix 1.9 and Bionix Fusion 1.1 where sometimes it would boot into Android recovery and sometimes clockwork recovery (usually on the 2nd or 3rd try).
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
installing this Rom is just like installng fusion right? they have the same procedures?
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
Every time I try to reinstall the packages it hangs at "replacing stock recovery with clockwork recovery..."
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
I did look at the post and have done all of the things mentioned. Still only get about 5hours of battery life. If I'm lucky
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
In situations like this Odin is your friend. If you don't have a pc, or don't think you can use Odin, then you need to find a pc, and learn Odin. Go back to stock, then reflash this rom. You should not have flashed a phone without the ability to use Odin. It's just crazy if you ask me.:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
So, you're telling me you have systempanel, have used it over a few hours, have tracked down which apps are sucking your power, and are still complaining that your phone is dying in a short time.

I think NOT! Read those posts again, and try actually applying what they are saying instead of just reading them.

Yes, you have just been mooned.
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
You obviously didn't read any of the posts on here. Just do the reinstall package, it should start CWM. When you flash CWM on your phone, it creates a UPDATE.ZIP in your Root, so when you get the normal recovery by samsung just do reinstall package.
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
I do know how to use ODIN and have previously used it because I soft bricked my phone but I do not have access to a PC at the moment. I was wondering if there were any other alternatives to ODIN I could try before using ODIN when I get home tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Gotcha, I was confusing you with someone else that said they only had a mac and Odin was not an option. Sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Sometimes when people have taken the steps you have listed, they still can't get recovery to load the update.zip file for CWR for some reason. In cases such as these, I have only found that using Odin to go back to stock has gotten them back to where they could install CWR again. Just from my experiences though.
[Vibrant Android Development] ed1380:
What I did was go into settings>apps>services and see what was running. stop it and then backup>uninstall in titanium. freeze if you have the paid version.

The only service I have running is the keyboard.

BTW any lagfixed that work with this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] charkey:
Pretty much
[Vibrant Android Development] Lavundra21:
Has anybody tried flashing one of macnuts oc kernels with obsidian or onyx yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Notice the little icon in the upper lefthand corner of MoonFire's screen? That is one of the keys to getting crazy battery life. Read the thread above and it will explain exactly how to achieve rediculous amounts of battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
A+ for paying attention.
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
You need to have ODin otherwise messing with your phone is not recommended. Unforeseen problem may arise, therefore you need to Odin back to stock, get yourself a PC, end of story.
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
:D Right On!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
Why so cryptic? The app name is System Panel for those of you that were wondering what icon that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
I used it, and it kind of decreased my battery life, but I switched back to super power in the market, and my phone has lasted about a whole day.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
If you think systempanel is ment to do what super power does, then you haven't used systempanel correctly.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dbarker 2:
Ok, I have been getting pretty decent battery life as it is, but I have been trying this system and I have a couple of questions about certain system processes. I know that it is trial and error, but if you wouldn't mind helping me out I would appreciate it. Do you know what the following system processes would be listed as in Titanium? :

kswapd0

mmcqd

dhd_dpc

Those seem to be the ones that are taking up the most CPU. If you have any idea what those are so that I can get to freezing, I would appreciate it. Thanks for all the advice, I have been reading through it for little while now.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
+1 *facepalm*
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know for sure. I think some of those are some I see often as well. The ones I see don't use much power. Let it sit in standby for 2 hours and see if suspend goes to the top of your processes list on a 2 hour graph.

Sent from....your mom. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
MAN...System Panel is ****ing AMAZING. I am sitting here wishing the hours by so that I can get my hands on a nice chunk of historical data. Thanks moonfire for bringing this app to my attention. It should be on EVERY Android power user's phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
I'm aware how it works, but my battery decreased.

Sent from the speed demon
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I did this with version 1 with no success. It really messed everything up I had flashback to stock (which was kind of good bevaise it wiped eberything). Others have done it with success though. I'm personally waiting for team whiskey to come out 1 checking the thread how early.
[Vibrant Android Development] skater991:
my phone is telling me that kswapd0 is using most of my cpu while using my phone and while asleep I found this out with the system panel!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
No, you don't know how to use it. If you did, then you would have turned off monitoring and it would not have drained your battery. Secondly, it uses a very, very small amount of power. Like .01 % of your cpu every time it pulls data. How do you think I am able to keep my cpu usage under 1% all night long while this is running.

On top of that, you can run systempanel while also running super power. You didn't have to "switch back" to anything.

You've been mooned!
[Vibrant Android Development] TRZN:
Giving this a shot now on my Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
After stepping outside and trying to reinstall packages a 3rd time it worked and booted into CR. Now the only problem that I am having is every time I reboot into CR via Rom Manager I have to reinstall packages.

Nonetheless, I was able to perform a nandroid backup and flash V2.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
That is normal.. clockworkmod installs a clockwork update.zip file that must be loaded to get into clockwork! Carry on! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
Did you recondition your battery?
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
i love you too
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
I'm glad to hear that. Does this mean that both of ya'll are going to be continuing your work as vigorously and flawlessly as you both have been in the past?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Dude you know your the man around here as well.... We need you and bionix team both... Thanks for your hard work man and what a great post.. Thanks again...

Now, How do we properly install a ext. 2 lagfix preferably oclf, its been mentioned a few times and a possible explanation but not for sure yet.. thanks ??????????
[Vibrant Android Development] Sdobron:
You can try to use one of Eugene's 2.2 Kernels or stick with the stock JK2, no 2.1 eclair kernels will work with this.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Core Kernels

To those who keep asking. No.

The Core kernels WILL NOT work with Obsidian. 2.1 kernels with a 2.2 ROM. Just doesn't work that way.
[Vibrant Android Development] j0hnZ:
Can I pull swype from fusion 1.1 and use it in this one?
[Vibrant Android Development] phonepersonality:
One way to find out... :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
I can restore the play logo file with the restore boot animation. But I get error when trying to apply v2.2

Friends don't let friends flash drunk...
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
that would be awesome if it did....
[Vibrant Android Development] rbirg:
I also have been unable to use the network location feature. I noticed it when my weather on my Fancy Widget wasn't showing up... then I checked in google maps. Still doesn't work =/
[Vibrant Android Development] deeoh1084:
thought so thanks!!! any kernel u can recommend me that i can oC with this new rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] RickCain:
Anybody having a problem with the phone staying in Flight Mode? Mine rebooted in Flight Mode and won't come out.. I uncheck it and go back to wireless setting and it is checked.
[Vibrant Android Development] dkobia:
First let me say that I'm a big fan of both Sombionix and Eugene. Most people here don't appreciate how much time and effort actually goes into the creation of these ROMs. Second, there's nothing wrong with rivalry and competition - as a developer myself, I know it only yields better software. The only thing I'm against is airing each others dirty laundry.

Beyond that, I must say I'm pleased with this ROM so far. Its just as delicious as Frozen Yogurt should be.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Stay with the stock. If you try to use Eugene's kernel, it will cause some issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
who said anything about eugene?

:p
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
did you wait 15 minutes after flashing, then reboot?

I dont have the same issue you are seeing,
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
flashed 3 times (first time i didnt wait, someone called me like 5 minutes after so i reflashed. both times let it sit for ~15), keep getting random "process.acore" fc, doesnt seem to affect anything. will try to get a logcat or whatever in a minute.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
no it doesn't? I ran it all morning with my Kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] theorginazation:
Does a factory reset happen like in Eugene's froyo Rom when you flash this Rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] hurrpancakes:
Thanks for including the torrent. Finished the download in about 2 minutes with that! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Usually do, but haven't seen it really make a difference on my phone if I do or don't. This time around, I did not. I'll try to post a pic of battery stats just before it dies to show what time I got out of it this go around. Probably tomorrow night.;)

Edit: Unless V3 comes out before then with the bug fixes. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
do you guys haven't encountered any problems going back to stock from this rom? some people in the QA are bricking their phones and not being able to go back to stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I have not read the posts over there, but I would venture a guess that they are trying to restore a nandroid without a 2.1 kernel installed first. If you Odin back to stock with the correct .pit and .tar file, you will be fine. I have yet to hear of anyone that has 100% bricked this phone. There is always the jig method if all else fails.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Thanks for the story.

Sent from the speed demon
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
Oh well, i guess they better get familiar with Odin. People still haven't grasp the concept that 2.2 kernel doesn't work with 2.1 ROM (nandroid backups). So every time they restore, they brick their phone. Nandroid doesn't backup kernel, so if they were to flash back to like a fusion 1.2 then nandroid restore, they be fine!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Thanks for making uneducated posts.:rolleyes:

Edit: I know how you love my stories too. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Rodriguez92:
Should I run wifi our just edge? And when reconditioning do you let it die completely?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Personally, I don't have a data plan, so I only run wifi. I also only run it when I am using it. Otherwise, it's off. I also go into the power menu and make sure data network mode is deactivated.

When I have reconditioned, I have always let it die. When it gets low enough, it will power down like it should.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jaynrb:
I was using Obsidian V2 and decided to just redo all of it and go back to stock and get back to obsidian. no problems here. I was running Obsidian V2, Odin back to stock, rooted, and then flashed obsidian v2 and its working fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
I like the sense of humor but I did everything to the best of my knowledge. I ended up switching roms anyway. So thanks anyway
[Vibrant Android Development] Steeltippin:
Knowing the name of the app does not tell someone what it is for and how to use, that is why I pointed to the link in the quoted message I posted :cool:
