Alright. I haven't read through this entire thread and I'm not going to. What I would like to do is some cross posting from what I have shared over at the Team Whiskey Forums to hopefully help some of you getting poor battery life or maybe just show some results for those looking for them. I run Onyx, but this info applies to Obsidian as well.

Anyway, here we go ...

----------------------

I've just now hit 5% since flashing Onyx R2.1 so I thought I'd post some results.

Almost 7.5 hours with the screen on is pretty dang impressive if you ask me. Also great to see cell standby so low. WiFi was on the entire time; I've been a recluse since the 2.2 leak.

I made 7 minutes worth of voice calls.

Played roughly 30 minutes of Angry Birds

Read for roughly 30 minutes with Kindle app

Spent 5+ hours using Tapatalk and Web

Spent roughly 1 hour restoring apps, freezing apps, and other tinkering

I slept for about 5.5 hours, but the phone wakes up at 4:00AM and preforms backups, etc...

I have my brightness switch to minimum from 9PM-7AM, and on auto the rest of the time.

Auto-Sync is on.

No Juice Defender, etc...

-----------------------

For those not adventurous enough to experiment, here are the apps/services that I have been able to freeze/remove using Titanium Backup without issue:

DRM Protected Content Storage

DRMContentLauncher

Dual clock

Gogo

Layar

Media Hub

Memo

Mini Diary

MobiTV

Pandora

Rescue

Slacker

Swype Tips

TeleNav

Y! Finance Clock

---------------------------------

If your phone is not sleeping and/or getting horrible battery drain while the screen is off, the first thing to try is freezing or removing the DRM services and Media Hub. I know that's not new information, but we still need to do it on 2.2 just like we needed to on 2.1 at least until the bloat is not in the releases. The LogMeIn Rescue app/services are also little demons that need the boot.

From there, several of the other items in the list above will run at start and consume resources. Freeze or remove. Titanium Backup, Autostarts, and SystemPanel are your friends. Several of us over in the Team Whiskey Forums are getting excellent life out of both the TW 2.2 ROMs. If after killing apps/services and other tweaking, you battery life is still in the toilet, I'd recommend a reflash. Most people I've seen getting crappy battery life on these ROMs didn't Odin to stock before flashing and/or restored things they shouldn't have with Titanium from previous ROMs.

Cheers.

I have reinstalled obsidian v2... I still cannot get the phone to recognize either sd card.. If I go to settings>sdcard and phone settings both sd card storage and phone storage say unavailable.

When I click on "Files" I get a message "Your phone does not have a SD card inserted."
[Vibrant Android Development] dinan:
I just flashed Onyx and I like it so far, but how would I go about removing these applications?
[Vibrant Android Development] srqt:
ROM is great so far, I was wondering if there are any plans to add lockscreen opions to this ROM? I hate he stock Vibrant lockscreen but when I flashed the AOSP lockscreen it broke the extra options in the power down menu. Really hoping for the puzzle lock screen since that is the one I was using in Bionix. Other than that his is the best ROM I have had to date.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
Hoping for Epic lock screen myself...
[Vibrant Android Development] mmas0n:
Titanium Backup allows you to Freeze an app so that it no longer runs but can quickly be restored if it causes problems. I usually freeze what I need to, reboot, and then after I'm sure I can live without it, go ahead and uninstall what I have frozen.

I updated my previous post so that it's clear I'm referring to the Freeze feature of Titanium Backup.
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
Is anyone having a problem mounting the internal and external SD storage on V2? When plugged into the computer a message comes up on my computer saying USB debugging has been enabled. On my vibrant there is no option to mount and the box with USB connected does not show up.

BTW if I try to manually mount the SD card I get a force close error.
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
I have this problem and my phone also doesn't recognize either sdcard..I can't use any application that uses the sdcards...
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Hey Team Whiskey could you please include Daily Briefing in the next release? It is one of the reasons I got Vibrant (Samsung advertised it so much). I really miss that widget. I know may people may not want it, but if you could, that is great. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
Reboot your phone and the problem should be solved except I still cannot write to the internal SD card.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Flashed it, damn i though i screw up because it took so long in the android screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
Two different problems. The first has been discussed at length on this thread. Disable USB debugging.

The second sounds like a bad flash. Have you tried ODIN'ing back to stock, then reflashing Obsidian?
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
can't you just download one of the stock images and pull out the apk?
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
yes I have odin'ed back to stock 4 or 5 times....(I have also flashed all of the other current froyo roms and I have the same problem with all of them)
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
This rom is so fast and good. Unfortunately i can't transfer files on my phone. Will try to go back to stock then reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] moises1204:
is your wifi calling app missing? because mine is.:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] moises1204:
i just update to the v2 and the wifi calling app is missing, is any one having the same issue?:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
Search this thread thoroughly and prepare to extinguish yourself

Still flashing
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
No, that is a known issue that will be fixed in version 3.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
BURN! Ok, for those of you who don't search, wifi calling was removed from v2 since it causes many unseen errors in the background which creates lag. For those who still want it, it has been attached to many posts in this thread and you can adb push it to the proper folder if you really want it. EXTINGUISH!
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
you have this issue as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] tdonnelly0987:
The Wifi calling app was removed from V2 bc it was causing a lot of battery drain.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yes, and I have stated how to over come it in this thread. For now, you can load to your sd card and transfer to your internal card, or you can use swiFTP or wifi file explorer if you have a wireless router, or you can adb push. You can also use Linux if you'd like. All these solutions have been posted before in this thread.

Edit: That is if I understood your first post correctly. Sorry if I didn't.

Notification bar hangs

When I go to pull the notification bar down, it will barely pull down and then just hangs and locks up the phone until I hit the back button.

This happens on my home screen as well as on widgetlocker.

Anyone else getting this?
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
thanks. lol at least i know that i can go back to stock without problems. still going to try this and report if there are other issues as well. hopefully the V3 will be perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
yes, no permanent solution yet. reboot seems to fix it temporarily. has happened to me 4 or 5 times....annoying.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
So it works with 2.1, but not 2.2 based ROM's? Sounds like possibly a problem with the leaks we are getting right now. If it doesnt even work with 2.1 stock then I think you need to go back to stock and call Tmo for a replacement.
[Vibrant Android Development] importbeats:
I have a question about flashing back to stock to have a fresh slate...

I've already flashed Froyo that doesn't brick and then stock in the past. Now I'm on obsidian.

There's nothing wrong, I get good battery, etc.. But just felt like having a clean plate.

Is it better or even necessary to do the Froyo no brick part? Is there any benefit? Or just simply back to stock? I'm not trying to take the ready route so I don't need to skip steps.
[Vibrant Android Development] DangerousDave:
Strange, I just flashed to Obsidian V2 ( second time ) and have Daily Briefing.

Did you somehow freeze it in Titanium?
[Vibrant Android Development] iflyabeech:
OK.. Well apparently my 8gb sd card was not compatable with 2.2.. I have used it since I have had my G1 back in the day and it has worked great! I put my 2gb card in it and its working! Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
Just odin to JFD with repartition checked. then root and flash from there.

Swype from G2

I seen many people asking for the swype to be theme as the HTC G2

Here is the Swype apk from the G2

1.Download the file

2.Place the file in your android sdk tools folder

3.Run cmd from that location

4.Go into clockwork recovery

5.adb push Swype.apk /system/app

[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
I think someone here has but had a problem.. Not to sure on it though..
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
I'm a bit confused here. Is this issue before or after installing Obsidian V2? I'm able to mount my USB drives just fine and can write to both my external *and* internal cards.

It wasn't working initially, but what I did was the following (roughly):

1) I tried to mount via Media mode, but it wouldn't let me because I was in debug mode

2) I unplugged USB and switched debug off

3) I plugged USB back in and turned on Media mode for mounting

4) I saw my files on my machine, but hated the way that it looked, so I unmounted that way

5) On this one I can't quite remember, but one of the following happened:

5a) After unmounting from Media mode, the old USB icon was in my notification bar, saying to 'Select to turn on USB storage'

5b) After a reboot the USB icon showed up

6) I chose that option and was able to see both drives the way I used to access them, and I can write files to both...

Also, since then, I have USB debugging enabled so I can do my adb stuff, and that doesn't conflict with my USB mounting at all...

I did not wipe before V1 or V2...

I had Bionix Fusion 1.2 with Core 1.2Ghz

Did my backups and just flashed Obsidian V1 directly

By the time I was done catching up in the forums (yes, I've read everything from page 1) V2 was out, so I downloaded and flashed it...

I think this is still one of those weird issues that happens to some people either because of the process they follow, or possibly a hardware difference, but no forgotten file on TW's fault has caused an issue for me with this...

Sorry for the long post, but I've been seeing this topic (USB) going back and forth for awhile, and I'm shrugging my shoulders because I'm not experiencing it. It seems like it's not quite as cut and dry as 'doesn't work because of a replaced file.

Maybe my steps above might work for some? Hopefully...

[Vibrant Android Development] moises1204:
thanks for the app, but is not installing for some reason, am i doing something wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] rakeshchn:
Thanks! I am still on V1. Going to flash V2 just for this:)
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
I have some market issues, some applications won't download. will you guys try downloading think free office? rebooted with 30% battery after the boot it's only 1%. Maybe reconditioning the battery will help. other than that this rom is one of the best i have used so far. I hope i will have a good battery life with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
You can just flash the stock 2.1 directly. With the Tar and Pit file. I didn't check the re-partition and it flashed succesfully.
[Vibrant Android Development] moises1204:
my issue is that it wouldn't install nether using astro or file manager.:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
ok so standby is amazing on this rom. 1 % in 6 hours. awesome...

Everything else running fantastic here..

You guys are the Fing Mannnns... I love bionix roms and team whiskey..:D
[Vibrant Android Development] ^Fs:
I find it takes the phone a long time to mount via USB.

Also, I've been dealing with some hick-ups with black lag screens.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Clearing cache and data in recovery is not needed after flashing this right?
[Vibrant Android Development] kingjohniv:
Flashing now If its anything like Bionix 1.9 but with Froyo Im excited.

Thank you so much I noticed your in SLC

I might have to DROP you a whole Bottle of Jameson ......

there is no hebrew locale in the rom.

any chance of a new lock screen coming anytime soon?? a V3 maybe:D
[Vibrant Android Development] ceroglu:
I really hope to have black keyboard and black background with this rom from fusion series. Is there any plan on next release if these are going to be included? and what is the ETA for the next release?
[Vibrant Android Development] Cesarp 24:
soo im new to all of this and i managed to flash bionix 1.9 with jacs kernel pretty smoothly, now im trying to give obsidian a shot but i have tried 3 times and when in clockwork it says copying files and then it says aborted line 13 ... i thought maybe it was because of a voodoo but wtf i dont have a goddamm clue i keep having to restore and reboot back to 1.9, anyone have a clue ???? anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] ohadbasan:
Thanks

Thanks dude but there's a difference between hebrew keyboard and hebrew locale

I used to have an HTC hero with 2.2 and a hebrew locale

which means - you can search through the contacts using the right hebrew "ABC" bar, the captions in the calendar and gmail aren't inverted. etc'
[Vibrant Android Development] neil_clavano:
What happened to WIFI Calling on V2? That was pretty useful to me since i get crappy cell service inside my house.
[Vibrant Android Development] disturkis4u:
Performance issues and batterylife. If you go in the obsidian forum and search you will find the apk posted
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
it was causing issues so it was removed...
[Vibrant Android Development] huzzam:
Yes, you are.
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
I have crappy service in my home, and was ready to terminate my T-Mobile contract until I found out that T-Mobile was going to make Wi-Fi calling available to Android devices. That right there is the only reason that I kept my T-Mobile service.

Then I got notified that I'm going to deploy to Afghanistan. I should have access to civilian satellite Internet via Wi-Fi, so this feature became even more important to me. So much so that it's a deal-breaker.

Can't we leave the feature in the ROM, but have an on-off switch added somewhere?
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
V2 still running great for me. Battery life is definitely reasonable, phone has been pretty responsive as well.

I've had a couple of force closed, but nothing major and they seemed pretty random. Swype still horrible ..
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Look at my post's I added a link to the thread that has the apk from the G2. I put it on my phone and it is working.

Sorry wrong quote but answering the same person as you.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
One more time the apk for wifi calling can be added separately. Here for the last time is the apk.

Z4Mod

Hey All,

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to successfully convert my data partition to EXT2 by using Z4Mod over in I9000 Thread. I thought Ive seen here that people had problems trying to use the compiler and or the update file.

If you rename the z4mod.ext2.update file to update.zip and go into Recovery and just install the update.zip file there is no problems when trying to mount the /sd card. If anyone has questions let me know.

By the way, After going into ADB and typing mount my data folder is converted.

Of course this doest get you much other than more app space... over OCLF.

Let me know if anyone else is successful at doing this or if I'm just behind and that everyone has successfully done this. I have not tried EXT4 so if someone does let me know if it works out by trying the method above.

Take Care

Can you check if you can copy or create new file on your internal sd card?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
When you guys watch a video, can you use the back button to exit? I can't, but don't want to reboot and lose battery stats to check if that will fix it for me.

Only the home button gets me out, but player stays active until I close with task manager.

Im talking about either z4mod or voodoo someone was talking about how they got z4mod on it but im trying to figure out if they are using a different kernel with it or not
[Vibrant Android Development] GalaxyS2k10:
You have to use the other back button on the upper right hand corner. The standard back button does nothing.

Dont do NANdriod back up

So I decided I would try this. I did my back up coming from Stock Fusion 1.1.

Flashed the new rom and all was well.

After playing with it for a few I did my restore.

Well it all bad from there. I could not get to the recovery.

Could not use shell command to recovery. I tried the download mode.

That worked and then I started ODIN recovery. That has failed too.

I have a cellphone ! computer icons.

Thank you

Faldiin

P.S. I tried searching and could not find the fix. I know there is one thou since I have seen it before.

FOUND THE FIX.

Insert battery, Plug in usb, vol up + power. Took me straight to download mode
[Vibrant Android Development] Munk0:
COOOLLL!!! Sorry, I do not want to do the Voodoo kernal because all of the scares of bricking it if you forget to disable it before any flashing. I'll try this out and hopefully it all works well. I'm about to do this flash in just a minute but wanted to ask if you lost any data after flashing this?

By the way, here is the link to the Z4MOD in the I9000 area:

Everything's fine except one small (well for me it's huge) issue: duplicated playlists.

This was the problem of the original ROM and I was so happy to switch to bionix fusion which has it fixed...and now I'm having same problem again with Obsidian 2.

Does anyone know if that's fixable ? Or should I just wait for Obsidian v.3 or something else...

no sound in wifi calling

has anyone been able to download a wifi calling apk file and get it to work fully with obsidian v2? I'd appreciate a detailed guide on what you did, I downloaded the apk from the leaked G2 thread and it worked great except no sound came through my end, the .apk package I found on here just keeps saying file not installed no matter what file manager I try, any help would be appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
I did not lose data when instilling the new kernel our update.zip file though that doesn't mean you will not. The first time I tryed busy box broke therefore super user did. But when doing this from a fresh install all worked like a charm. I'll post my quadrant scores soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
On page 186 of this thread post 1854 is the adk pulled from Obsidian V1.

All I did was put the apk on my internal sd and click it to install. I just tested it with my preferences as wifi only and was able to hear my voicemail and record a new greeting without a problem. If you had the apk from the other thread, the G2 I would suggest clearing its cache, uninstalling and then delete through titanium before installing the one in this thread.

Of course there is the off chance that the call you made the person answered and didn't speak. LOL
