[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
Try Doc's JP6 V6 Rom.. the battery life on it is great... the new version 7.6.2 my battery life is not that good its likely the radio causing the issue. if you clear your battery stats files you do get better battery life. also when you clear your battery stats make sure you do it when the phone is at 100%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Felixpau86:
I flashed the latest doc rom. Lost 850 band and even though it's selected in the 0011 menu it never switches to out anymore. Other than that minor bugs but very quick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mortify1:
There is a topic in the general section that will help you restore your 850 band just look for bell 850 in search terms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striker456:
what are you guys using to root? just want to make sure there isn't a special method for the 9000m
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mortify1:
Doc's ROM and other come pre-rooted
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striker456:
i wanted to back up my /efs folder via adb as per doc's instructions. maybe i am confused by the instructions, but do i need to be rooted to
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
What made you use the JPD update package modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PrinceOD:
The reports of better battery life on that one in the (very extensive) thread on Doc's rom. I noticed it was hot nearly immediately after booting up, so that was one of the first things I did which means I can't really say whether or not it was worthwhile.

The battery life while I'm using this build isn't great, and I noticed yesterday the phone was certainly running warmer with the screen on than normal. My data speeds also seem relatively slow, about half of what I was used to before, but that could just be where I was in the house when I ran Speed Test.

Still 80% happy, though, and am able to work on some app development in Adobe Air, which was my main motivation for 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0cs:
I installed 7.6.2 last night, had some problems getting SWYPE installed but mostly because I didn't realize I needed to use 2e to get it to work.

Lost 850 band but using the COMBI menu I was able to re-add it and it seems okay now. I installed a different icon pack so I'm probably not used to how it looks now, signal sort of seems lower but maybe just my perception.

Battery life seems a little lower but I haven't used the phone enough to know for sure and I'm using a round battery indicator with numbers which is a lot more accurate than the crappy indicator that comes with the default stock rom.

My biggest issue now is that I can't take incoming calls. The phone app FCs and I don't know how to fix it. It was suggested I copy my /efs backup overtop of what exists on the device now but I can't see how that will make any difference.

I installed JPA (instead of JPO) but I'm not sure that matters much.

If copying over /efs makes no difference I may be forced to do a factory reset and try again, which I'm not thrilled about since the phone is so close to being 100% functional. I guess if I HAVE to try again I'll try JPO instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PrinceOD:
I have read that a factory reset from FroYo can brick your phone, I'd avoid that. Did you try clearing all of the caches from the clockwork recovery menu? I recall reading somewhere that would fix the FC on incoming calls issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lightarrow:
Did any of you sucessfully flashed a bunch of times and had no sd corruption on i9000m ?

I bricked 2 phones already... Froyo was working fine for 1 week then, one morning black screen :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0cs:
No dice, launched into CWR, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, fixed the permissions, then rebooted, took forever and still get FC when the phone rings.

It feels like some sort of software issue so the other hint I got about copying back the backup of /efs seems like a red herring to me. At this point I'm at a loss. The ROM seems pretty decent (I don't know if I agree with a lot of the hype around it) but without incoming calls it's pointless.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
I have flashed my phone about 20 times since Aug... not issues here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striker456:
flashed 7.6.2 today. seems to be working great. snappy. no lagfixes applied.

i see the he just released v8, but didn't want to try it so soon after release.

edit: phone was fine and then everything was FC'ing. I restarted it and now I loop the boot screen. still have cwm, so i will start fooling around with it tomorrow.

edit2: flashed with odin back to jh2. seems to be okay.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striker456:
i am going to try this again. are any of you running no rfs advanced ext4?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam_27:
Dear all,

I am a newbie, so please be gentle on me :p. This post is related to my earlier post

_ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8522276 (I still cannot include links, mods please do the needful)

and is an attempt to make my Lenovo ET960 a usable device. It currently runs a Chinese version of WM2003SE (ROM version: S603 051229). I have tried registry hacks and other UI options available on the web and nothing works. The final conclusion from my side is that I will need to flash my device with an WWE ROM. The trouble is there is none available.

I have managed to download from various sources 5 different ROMs for my ET960. As far as I understand, three of them are Russian (RU henceforth) and the rest two are Chinese (CHS henceforth). See below for more details and links.

I cannot open these ROM files (*.960 extension) except with a HEX editor. One of them is a ROM dump with the bootloader.nb0 file included.

Please advice me on how to open, edit and then rebuild these ROM files.

From what I have been able to research, the RU ROMs most likely have English mui files which I can use, but I would need some guidance.

So, this is what I want to do, with guidance from you all...this is my first attempt. I want to extract the *.mui files from the RU ROM and build and WWE ROM replacing the relevant *.mui files latest CHS ROM (see below for description).

As far as I understand, the RUS version uses Paragon LEng for user interface translation from WWE to RUS, so it may actually be a WWE ROM, I cannot know unless I find a way to view the files in it.

I am providing rs links to the ROMs I have downloaded. MODs please upload them in XDA ftp for future use, if you think they are useful. I am also attaching the ROM update utility together with the translated ROM upgrade instructions.

1) most likely RUS ROM: _ttp://rapidshare.com/#!download|708tg|430869577|ET960_Rus_s609_060116.7z|31792

2) most likely RUS ROM: _ttp://rapidshare.com/files/431083933/Et960_urk_s611_060213.7z

3) most likely RUS ROM (has ROM dump and bootloader.nb0): _ttp://rapidshare.com/files/431085618/ROM35778-S612_060306.7z

4) CHS ROM: _ttp://rapidshare.com/files/431084602/ET960GOLD_ROM_v1229.7z

5) CHS ROM: (latest) _ttp://rapidshare.com/files/431084485/ET960_GOLD_ROM__520mHz_.7z

Please guide me :).

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for posting! I tried all this, but couldn't find a way to load up any of the widgets. I'm looking to get my old Samsung Task-Manager widget back. (Installing LauncherPro disabled all Samsung widgets.) For the record, I'm not running Cognition, but rather: stock Eclair....
[Desire HD General] kanej2006:
Many people say it's harmful using app killers, especially on android as it may interfere with important system resources or close important system files and can do harmful damage in the longrun such as errors, things not working, etc...

When you open various programs such as file manager, picture gallery, etc you then see a list of all running programs in system/task manager.

Many of these running programs are ones you have recently used and are draining ram/cpu/battery.

Is there not ANY safe app to use that will ONLY close apps that YOU have used?

There must be some app out there that closes/kills open apps, not system or phone apps but only the ones you have installed and used?

This could be a ram killer or maybe a simple app which is not dangerous and will safely close running apps not needed.

Looking forwards to seeing what others recommend.

Thanks in advance guys,,,
[Desire HD General] panyan:
yes, there are, but android just restarts them after they have been closed (froyo only)
[Desire HD General] kanej2006:
Names please of a good app that kills ONLY programs you open, not system files.

What if I was to install an appkiller, but instead of having it on autokill, I was to manually click apps I opened and kill them?

Surely this way there is no danger as I'm only closing selected apps, not system files?
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
The point is, even after killing your own apps, most of the time froyo will restart them :)

I very much like ES' offerings - ES File Explorer and ES Task Manager. They're both free, give em a birl.
[Desire HD General] matthiasdeblaiser:
You can install Advanced Task Killer (free) and there you can perfectly select which apps to close and which not... still I rarely use it

for example your homescreen widgets are always unchecked when killing tasks, so unless you check them, they won't be killed...
[Desire HD General] kanej2006:
Hmmm, ok.

What is the BEST way to preserve & save battery/cpu & free up as much ram as possible without harming/interfering with the phone??

When I used to use the task killer app it would consistently give me around 400-424mb free ram.

Without the app killer I would only have around 100mb of free ram since all the programs are running in the backround.

So to all you experts out there, what can I do or what options do I have in which I can safely free up as much ram as possible and safely close running apps not needed when not using the phone?

I just want the best and most effective way to make my battery last longer.

I'm having to charge my phone every day, it struggles to get through the day even when hardly used.

Looking forwards to hearing some expert opinions based on the above.
[Desire HD General] christonabike:
There's definitely a problem there but you're not going to find it chasing free ram. I have approx 20Mb free ram at the moment, the phone hasn't been rebooted for at least a week but I'm easily getting through 2 days with light use. Task killers / app killers are not the answer, (in froyo at least) free ram is wasted ram.

The programs that are 'running' in the background are not actually using CPU resources unless they have a service running (see the eBay app/service for an example). Your best bet is to check the running services (settings/applications/running services) and battery usage to work out what process is hogging the CPU time. Also check your sync settings, though I'd imagine you've already tried that.
[Desire HD General] kanej2006:
Maybe it's the anipet fish aquarium live screensaver...
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Systempanel is good, I use it to stop a bad app thats using to much memory..you should never kill your apps with froyo, the OS wasn't designed like that, thats the whole point of Android, it looks after the apps perfectly well by itself, systempanel is just there as a....just in case method.

Saving battery power is a common misconception, Task killers actually get in the way of Android handling memory management as intended.....a pointless app to have with 2.2 which actually drains you battery quicker.

The LCD screen is the biggest drain on battery power, turning the brightness down, stop using a live wallpaper, turn off wifi, bluetooth, GPS ect....

With all that said the 1250mah battery is just not powerful enough to run this device period...but then most of us knew this before we bought the phone..we needed a 2000mah battery really, its just a lipo battery and can be easily increased, maybe next year we will see an improvement in the new smartphones.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
I hope you're joking:eek:
[Desire HD General] kanej2006:
LOL, well some people do say that live wallpaper kills battery...

1-activate FlightMode

2-goto settings > applications > manage applications > [menu bouton] filter > all

2.5 - select market then uninstall update, and force stop

3- activate usb debugging and launch adb on your computer then type these line

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
cat /system/app/Vending.apk > /sdcard/Vending.bkp.apk
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
rm -r /data/data/com.android.vending
rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex

For rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex don't pay attention if you got an error !

If you found "adfree android" or 3544 (or +) results for video , it's worked.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] peterhugelberg:
and what exactly are the benefits with this version compared to that one: showthread.php?t=742608

or that one: showthread.php?t=645286&highlight=market

i still dont know why it keeps saying, that im not allowed to "post outside links" when i write a link to another topic...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I dont know but inteks's version was "erased" by market updater so I take the update and Fake the resolution.

New users Are not allowed to post links

that's why I put mine with code "tag"

sorry for the english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vippie:
Thanks, but there is no com.android.vending.apk in /system/app. Do you mean Vending.apk?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
yes, mine disapearred after some tests, then I push it to com.android.vending.apk and it work well.

User report me that with Vending.Apk name it also work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vippie:
It works great! Can confirm it's the new version 2002012.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kaliberx:
Thanks shokmah :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rille:
Thanks for this shokmah!! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hunkemuller:
Whats the difference? ive done the patch, but i dont see any different...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I don't know the entire difference Between the Stock original One, but It may add new features such as Instant search, apk auto-update option, and many others features.

The patched version allow you to view app which require 320×480 screen Display, some of theses apps work great on our 240×320 screen Display.

I may add support for greater Screen resolution but more you Increase Resolution, More unlocked app will not work smoothly.

Sorry for the english, it's not my native language ! :)

EDIT :

to verify if it work :

search for adfree android and you should found the app

search for video you should have 3544 found result
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
thanks a lot!

Now I can download "adfree android" app, but "video" string result get 2202 result..

ps: Xperia X10 mini pro, and 2.1

maybe it's different for other , I've french market
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rod.siq:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
you know it works if you search "video" and see results for "video ringtones"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
"video ringtones" : 46 matches :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Montechristo1979:
Thanks. Worked for me.

When i search "video", i get 3368 results.

How can i prevent the market from getting self-updated in the future? I dont want to disable the data traffic for ever :)

Root explorer's way seem to be simplest way , but adb's way is powerful and completely free and normaly you should pay for RoOt Explorer .

@MonteChristo1979 : you have to delete marketupdater.apk in /system/app, for new update I or Someone will post a patched Vending.apk again

don't know, try to delete data about market in /data/data , in /data/dalvik-cache and you may have com.android.vending in /data/app and vending in /system/app, then put fixed version in /system/app.

but I think you may have, by deleting some app in /system/app, broken something market work with ?

hi guys this thing works for me

normaly you have a directory com.android.vending delete it if so

maybe there is a system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex delete it if so

in /data/app maybe have a com.android.vending.apk delete it if so

replace vending.apk by the market I patched

Used root explorer to move vending.apk and marketupdater to my sdcard(backup), then copied the patched file to /system/apps, renamed to Vending.apk and changed permission.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jesiah:

delete vending.apk himself then reboot put patched vending.apk in /system/app then reboot again and you should have a fresh clean market that may clean some problems.
