[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
I agree with you about the battery, they need to improve it (out of the box at least). Not just google, the entire mobile phone industry needs to improve. What I like about Android is that I can actually do many, many things to improve my battery life. I couldn't do all that much on my Nokia N97. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get more than a day and a half with it. Not to mention the fact that you can't really compare those phones to the Vibrant. Vibrant has bigger screen, faster cpu, better gpu, etc. Hardly a fair comparison.

It's amazing to see the fluctuations between users, but like I said before there's a reason for that. Hell, if you simply took 2 vibrants and put a black wallpaper on one and white wallpaper on the other, leaving everything else identically the same, chances are very good you'll see less than half the battery life on the vibrant with the white wallpaper. Avoid white where ever you can...

I've come to the conclusion that the battery life on this device is not all that bad. Infact, I'd even go so far to say that it's pretty good "PROVIDING" you find the various tweaks & configurations that work for your specific setup. Out of the box, it's not good. Tweaked, very respectable. We shouldn't have to tweak it though, like you said.

10% drain playing angry birds for 3 hours = very, very hard to believe.

Hi I have upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo with "official" firmware, everything is running ok, I also installed the OneClick LagFix (this change my quadrant from 892 to 1915) but now I only have 400Mb free in the phone memory, I would like to move some apps to the SD but I get the following error "Error moving app. There is not enough memory" (Possible this is not the correct message, i get this message in spanish :D)

I dont have a external SD, but I have 14Gb free in the internal SD, is not possible move apps to this memory?

Thx in advance

install Froyo, then you can run apps from External SD

yes, but all the apps needs to be re-installed and select External SD during install

or you can force them to External and hope it works with those 3rd party programs that moves apps to External SD

[Q] App2SD & Data

SGS i9000 16Gb & 32Gb SD card

Using DocRambone rom 7.62 & SpeedMod kernel v9

Q. I can move an app to SD w/o problem but the data file that is consuming a large portion of my internal memo stays on internal SD. Is there a way to move the app and it's data to the SD?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpierce:
I too have a 32Gb card installed.

You can move the apps and there are a number of 3rd party apps that will do this for you quickly or you can do it from settings in managing the applications. I found that this was not the space saving solution that I thought it would be.

It is the data that needs to be moved, e.g., DoggCatcher is my news reader and it had about 3Gb worth of data. Moving the app didn't save any space but using the setting in the program to move the data did the trick. Play around with moving a couple of apps and see what you get and check to see if the app will allow you to move the data to a new location.

Some apps simply stock pile a lot of data. My eBook program, Audible which I can't do without is another one - over 1.5Gb. I'll contact Audible about this one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
some times when you check on sites like AppsBrain

it will tell you if the App is App2SD compatible

meaning it can be isntall to SD also data store on SD

as mpierce said, it's pretty useless to force a program to SD, meanwhile the heavy stuff remains in the phone internals

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvslavavv:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But I don't believe "move to SD" moves anything to the external SD card. The apps move to the internal SD card. Yes unmounting the SD card disables apps, but if you browse through the internal card, you'll still see them sitting there.

This is awesome! I used a font pack to make my font Exocet (Diablo 2's font). Here it is for anyone else that wants this. Only problem is there isn't a degree symbol. So on temperatures there is only a big period. If anyone can fix this let me know. I'm also going to look into it. In the meantime, it still looks amazing!

EDIT: I fixed the degree symbol so now it's not a period. This font looks great! And is it weird that I've gotten better battery life with this font?

Has anyone found a way to change fonts on CM7? There are edify packages in the big fontpack thread, but they don't work, nothing changes.

It's the last visual element I'm trying to change to combine the awesomeness of froyo and gingerbread.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] esincho:

It worked for me. I'm running a Vibrant CM7, and I flash fonts like it's spring break. I flashed a 2.5.1.2 recovery. What error did it give you? If it gives you the edify scripting, you need to double check the script in the font pack. If update-binary and updater-script are not in there, then it wont work.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
Thank you for the response, I already did my first flash from stock to energy rom dinik. question is do I have to do the hard spl again? I was reading about task 29 Do i do that to clear this current rom? Then load the new one? I guess my main question what steps do I follow to replace a out dated flashed custom rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Ah, that's a much more clear question. Hard SPL is permanent until you flash the stock one back for whatever reason. Basically, it'll stay there until you remove it yourself. task29 is a good idea to do between ROM flashings. It clears out and formats the internal memory. It prevents the device from retaining traces of the old ROM when you flash the new one. Use the order listed below.

1. back up any important data and reboot into bootloader (hold voldown while pressing reset)

2. run task29

3. flash new ROM

4. hard reset (hold talk/send and end while pressing power button)

5. set up the new device

The hard reset is kind of optional, but I do it anyway since I'm kind of OCD like that.

thank you very much this should help just a couple questions (sorry I was very cautious when flashing my first rom as well, because I didn't want to screw anything up).

1. If i dont wanna save any data besides whats on my sim and sd card just remove both before starting any of the 5 steps?

2. Are there any roms with cookie 2.0?

3. In step one you say reboot into bootloader (hold volume down while pushing reset, which button is reset?

4. Task 29 I jus run on my comuter i take it while synced?

Sorry I'm very cautious lol if you cant tell, just want to make sure I dont mess anything up.

Thank you for your help I feel about half way ready to attempt again lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
All of these questions could have been answered if you read some of the threads available in the ROM development area. You're lucky I'm feeling generous today.

1. Removing the SIM and SD is optional. I never do, but some people swear by it. It's up to you whether you do or not.

2. There are lots of them. Have a look around. You could always install it over an older CHT version or onto a ROM without CHT at all.

3. There should be a tiny reset button hole that your stylus will fit into on the right side of the device under the battery cover. If you have a T-Mobile device, it's right next to the noise-canceling mic on the left side. You should already be in bootloader when you flash anything, including task29.

4. task29 has two files. The *.nbh file can be anything at all. It makes no difference. The *exe that comes with the download is what does the formatting. You should already be in the bootloader before doing this. It will flash the *.nbh file onto the device. When it is finished, it runs the format command from the .exe and formats the device. Once the percentage gets to 100%, it will hang for a moment while the task29 command is running. It takes about 10 seconds while it says 100% on the screen. During this time, hold down the voldown button until it reboots. Once you get back to the bootloader, go ahead and flash your next ROM.

Once you get the hang of it, the whole process shouldn't take you more than about 15 minutes or so. Setting everything back up after a flash is what is so time-consuming. Most ROMs come with some form of an auto-install program designed to install programs and import other data automatically. Read the thread of whichever ROM you choose before diving into it.

Don't ask us for our opinions on which ROM you get either. That's like asking which music you should listen to. Everyone likes different things. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like. Otherwise, you can find hundreds of threads from other users asking "Which ROM should I choose" all over the forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
Ok. sounds pretty easy, thank you for being so generous and as I was browsing I found a link with how to run the task 29 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5845908&postcount=1 from what i gather on this just sync and run the .exe file and that should take me to the bootloader screen? and the after its done run my .nbh file from my custom rom and should be the end besides setting up the rom? I've seen to many people ask which rom is best and seen the responses people have given them so I know better to ask lol. Thank you once again, I greatly appreciate it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
It sounds like you've got it. Just don't use the customromruu.exe file from the task29 to flash anything other than the nbh that comes with it. It will erase anything it flashes to the internal memory right after flashing it. Any other ruu.exe file is interchangeable for anything else, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
I downloaded the task 29 zip folder and unzipped it and got a file "task 29 provided by doloop" take it that is what I'm suppose to use? One last question for you, on this sight how do you find the latest version of a rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
They must have changed the format of the task29 tool. Either that or I've got an older version. Mine's wrapped up nicely in one simple *.exe file. If you downloaded the *.zip from the first post of the task29 thread, then just double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe to begin the process. Where did you download your file from? Provide a link so I can better answer your question.

The latest version of a ROM is normally on the first page somewhere. It varies by chef, however. Some put links as a reply in the thread, so it might be a ways back. Check the first page of posts first. If you don't find it there, ask on the thread. Be sure to read the rules and FAQs of the ROM before posting questions.

The best advice I can give you is to always search first before posting questions. Take the time to show other members that their time is no less valuable than your own, and most members will bend over backward to help you out. If you post without searching or doing work for yourself, it tells other members that your time means more than theirs, and you are more likely to get flamed rather than helped.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Extract and drop the attached file into a folder with that *.exe, and you'll be all set. This file is basically just a tiny OS that it will flash before hand. As I said, once the process gets to 100%, it will hang there for about 10 seconds or so while it formats the memory. It will erase what this file writes anyway. I think the *.nbh from the first post is a HTC boot screen file. That will change the first boot screen you see when the device powers on and you see the red letters at the bottom left of the screen. I don't need to change my boot screen, so I use this one, since the task29 will wipe it out right after, leaving no trace of anything being flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
Thank you very much, quick question while your here, got my rom downloaded after the task 29 do i run the .nbh file or rhodium software upgrade? Can't say thanks enough

with the file you gave me after i extraxt with 7 zip it says windows cannot recognize this file? is it cause i have windows 7?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
You don't run that file. Put the *.exe into a folder with the*.nbh file I just gave you. You run then double click on the *.exe to begin the task29 process. The *.nbh is a required file. I don't know if it is included in the one you downloaded or not.

On second thought, here are the task29 file I use. Extract to a folder, run the *.exe, be happy, in that order.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
Got it work with the two files custom ruu and the .nbh just click the custom ruu one and start from there? Sorry for being a birden.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Make sure the device is connected via ActiveSync, or put it into bootloader and make sure it says USB at the bottom of the screen. After you confirm one of these two scenarios, run the*.exe. Once it gets to 100%, hold the voldown button and allow it to boot back into the bootloader. From there, wait for USB to show at the bottom, and begin flashing the new ROM. I honestly don't think I can make it clearer than this. I hope you get it working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
You've made it very simple i just got to the bootloader screen thank you, it says usb, but when i try to run the custum ruu nothing happens
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:

You have the correct files. It's not a problem with the files. The problem is with the PC. Maybe you could try the task29 thread for more info. Use the tool provided in the first post of the thread. You just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from there. In any case, I've run out of ideas for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoCatharsis:
Hi, I'm new here and new to the Android platform in general - just bought my Evo 4G last week.

I rooted the phone and have been using the Fresh ROM, but have noticed that it has some pretty severe battery-draining issues, unless I'm just using the wrong apps and settings.

Either way, I wanted to try out some other ROMs but I cannot find anything that works well so far. I tried out Cyanogen but of course it has no 4G access. Kind of a waste of that extra $10/month huh?

MIUI had some acclaim on the forums, but once again: no 4G according to the update log.

I had read on MakeUseOf or a similar site that the Baked Snack ROM is a good option for staying purely lightweight.

Before trying any other ROMs, I wanted to get some community feedback. I generally use these apps for my phone:

Browser

Google Voice

Gmail

DropBox

Endomondo

Pulse (RSS Feeds)

Which ROM would be most recommended to maximize performance and battery life with these apps, while still taking advantage of 4G capability?

Thank you for the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Every phone is different so someone's experience with a particular kernal/ROM will not necessarily be the same for you.

You mentioned bad battery life you also mentioned that you bought the phone last week. Since its a new toy, all you are thinking about is spending time on it. If you have 10 hours worth of battery on a full charge but 6 of those hours are awake then you are getting good battery life.

I recomend just breaking in your toy (not breaking it) and you'll notice much better battery life and time goes on since you'll be using it less.

In the meantime:

1. limit your 3g when you're not using data

2. limit your screen brightness

3. live wallpapers are nice, but they can use some battery

4. I sign out of gtalk and make sure to turn off automatic logging in

5. Sync as often as you need to but not more than that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoCatharsis:
Good points, thank you. And yes I've been using it constantly.

Nevertheless, I downloaded Advanced Task Killer to monitor what's going on at different times. I notice certain native apps always kick themselves on, and I was hoping to disable those.

For instance, Voicemail is constantly turning itself on and I don't need it - I use Google Voice. Is there a way to disable or uninstall this altogether?

On reboot, I notice a whole list of about 10-15 apps that start themselves up too, which I usually proceed to shut down since I obviously don't need all those running in the background. Is this a good idea?
