battery issues

I am on serendipity 6.2 and suckerpunch#59 kernel, trying to stretch my battery life is always a hassle - is there a real solution here for me on the Samsung Captivate?
[Droid X Accessories] TheBookheimer:
If you delete or freeze telelocation provider in an app like titanium backup it yeilds about 8 - 15 percent more battery but if you do so it will be really hard for emergency response people to locate you just based off your phone number.

ok lets try this again ,, the thread is already posted here for gingerbread by kaos ,,, y would u post this in the same place ? y would someone click ur link only to click another link to come back here??
[Droid Eris Android Development] jore13:
just goes to show that this guy does not know much about anything. i do not claim to be a genius and a know all of anything, but i find something and trace it back to its source, thats how i ended up here like everyone else. this guy is just looking for free traffic and probably googled droid eris and posted the same post on other forums and sites as well as this one.

we are not mad that you posted the obvious to us eris users, its that you didnt even look around for anything and just started posting away to get your site traffic. grow up and gain some knowledge my friend, i cant tell you how much i have learned reading all of these different posts and learning from the guys that do their homework and get all this stuff running. kaos, conap, tazz, etc. these guys work their asses off and you posting something like this is just an insult to them. say thanks, give credit where its due and then keep your mouth shut. jackass.

It's My Blog, i post whatever i want, neither u like it or not, Sissy
[Droid Eris Android Development] jore13:
youre right, your site is your blog, but this site is not. were just saying dont post obvious stuff in a place where it has already been and developed for a couple of days now.

and i guess you didnt get to the part of keeping your mouth shut, oh well, i had to try. jackass.

[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Simple Question. Would you donate $10 or so to fund the purchase of an Epic for a willing Dev? As far as I know it's feasible (Correct me if I'm wrong), we just need someone with a Epic who knows how and wants to do it.

Anyway, the objective here is to create a list of people willing to donate. We'll see if it's enough to interest someone.

So who's in?

Committed:

ipaq3115 - $10

sporkisfaster - $10+

Bohiti - $10

Neptune5k - $5-10

mttallaczach $20

sauron0101

mxcoldhit

spongaweb $15

viper134 $5

If the big guy does it himself

Pito2k6 $100

Note: I'm thinking, find a trusted dev (preferably from the CM team) and once they've committed, send mulah through paypal :)

Clarification: The idea is donate enough that someone from the CM team can buy an Epic and work on it.
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
I'm willing to donate $10 or more depending on other people's willingness.
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
What's so great about cynogenmod? Please don't bash me, I just don't know what's good about it.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
No
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
Mainly that it uses the AOSP stuff. Much more of a vanilla feel to it with a lot more integral features than current roms can offer because of the current code available (or lack thereof).
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
Not really no. I'm very happy with the TouchWiz interface and I need my 4G radio working.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Its a true aosp rom. Google it
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
This thread won't lady long. Look what happened when noob was working on it and asked for donations.
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
It definitely couldn't hurt. Try to be positive, it seems like we're at a low point in morale here on the boards and development. Maybe this is what we need to get it going again.
[Epic 4G General] sprice5:
I would be willing to donate to the dev that gets this out. Hopefully noob will work on it again.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Step 1. Send money

Step 2. Wait

Step 3. See another dev do it for free before you ever see a single return from you vapor donation.
[Epic 4G General] bohiti:
I would donate $10 to Cyanogen himself. Anyone else, and I (at this time!) can't be sure of their devotion.

I know we'll be sacrificing 4G, but I live in an area that won't have it for quite some time.
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
I would donate directly to the guy himself, if he posted himself saying he's going to take charge and actually do it.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Yeah, mainly cause CyanogenMod is legendary :)

But really, it's like pure android like what the nexus phones have. No carrier bloat. Since the days of the G1 it's been the fastest. The little things he adds just make it that much more awesome.

Sent from my superphone using the XDA App
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Yeah, I was thinking either him or someone he would trust to do it.

Yeah, same thing. Find someone trusted, not just anybody.

I wouldn't expect anything back from the dev. Other than the promise to get an Epic and attempt it. It is a donation, not like paying someone for the service.

[Epic 4G General] Pito2k6:
I would donate $100 if Cyanogen himself says he will develop for our Epic.
[Epic 4G General] fhurricane:
I would pay $10 if we knew that it would definitely lead to cyanogen mod. Who knows if we will ever get gingerbread on this phone, much less honeycomb.
[Epic 4G General] fczeuner:
I belive the best way to get vanilla android on your phone is just to wait a little longer. The Nexus S has practically the same specs as the epic plus there is even a rumored CDMA device coming. I don't think we are very far from Vanilla Gingerbread Phone.

As far as Cyanogen is concerned, no I'm not interested in donating to buy him an Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Neptune5k:
I would be willing to contribute $5-10 as well.
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Whoops, wrong button. Silly xda app
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
4G should be working in cm6 soon as they almost have it working for the EVO.

PS. Money doesn't ever seem to be a motivator with anything in cm6. There has been a ~$2200 bouncy for 4G on the evo in cm6 and cyanogen said that they needed cowers with free time vs. money. They aren't in it for money plus most of them have day jobs and do this for fun.

Sent on the go
[Epic 4G General] johnsongrantr:
i have already donated to cyanogenmod several months ago

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/user/51077-johnsongrantr/

If you want to donate, do it on the official site... don't do it as a bounty because it will literally never happen that way. Donate to the official website, more funds means more phones, more funds means more ports. That's how it works. Doing it like a bounty leaves too many variables for people to get scammed or burned or left with half assed products.

I bet alot of those who donate are unable to tell the difference between a really good theme and actual aosp. You could whip up a believable theme and be off with people's money before they realize what hit them.

once a solid port is made on the sgs (they have more than enough interest in the platform and more than a few skilled people working on it) and once froyo source is released for the epic, we will get a port.

So I'm not going to do the "just wait" mantra, however... don't expect much progress on this until the two above requirements are met.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
my port is 70 % to 80% percent complete

do not donate to the guy that finishes my port...

i know this guy named kylecole90, dude is amazing with code.. im willing to bet he can do it as long as we get him an epic...

Lol
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:

[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
does this imply you will be finishing it good sir? i would be more than happy to direct my donation in your way.
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Really? I didn't realize it was that close. When you said alpha I thought it was more like 30%.

Heck, I'd donate to you to finish if that's the case.

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
At this point, I want Gingerbread ported to the epic. Anyone who can do that will receive a donation from me. If its Cyanogen, great. Don't see the real desire to donate to someone for a port of Froyo when we will be receiving a build of it free within the month, unless Samsung and Sprint COMPLETELY fubar this release.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
There's a hug difference between a carrier build and a aosp build of froyo. On my evo froyo was great but cynagon blew the sense build of froyo away. Faster, smoother, and better looking
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
That's why I asked the earlier question lol and same here. I'd donate a pretty good amount for a completed CM community for the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] mttallaczach:
I would be willing to donate $20 to make it happen. I have never donated before but coming from the G1, I miss my vanilla android.

Count me in(especially for continued development).

[Epic 4G General] LucJoe:
+1

I got 20 bucks for the guy that ports 2.3 Gingerbread. Should be easy with the Nexus S source!!!
[Epic 4G General] viper134:
I would donate a few dollars, maybe 5
[Epic 4G General] bohiti:
The next major release of Cyanogenmod will undoubtedly target gingerbread. If the optimal situation would come true, we'd be in line for fast and stable CM releases of vanilla android well before Samsung gets them out, and for a longer period of time.

Optimal situation for me means that a devoted member of the CM team receives an Epic and devotes significant time to make it work for CM releases. I have no idea if that could happen.
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
Well, that's the hope with this thread. It seemed like noob might still even be working on it...but he hasn't replied so it remains to be seen. If we can convince someone already on a team to work on the epic with the promise of the phone itself I don't see any reason why we won't start to get consistent results.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
If noob does get Cyanogen 6 or 6.1 ported over, it won't be much harder to get Cyanogen 7 upgraded when the time comes. The big step is that Cyanogen needs to be ported over, with all of its AOSP goodness.

I'd be willing to donate a few dollars as well to see it happen.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
I've just started flashing for the first time last weekend and have been learning as much as I can to help the community out, but until then ill donate as well.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Absolutely not.

But if you were to get a universally working USB - HDMI or a 3.5 to Composite out, then we can talk.

Other than that, get your ROM out and if I like it, I'll donate. I'm not going to pay for something I don't get to try out first.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
I donated $20 last time for the g1 cyanogen mod, they put so much life back into that ancient device. I had 2.2 loaded on there the day I went to get my epic, everybody drooled over my *bootscreen* lol.

Cyanogen was consistent with his development and was an all around general mod. Ill donate $15 if he can make it happen, what are we up to like $500 with everyone so dar
[Epic 4G General] rmriggin:
I'm hoping that with googles latest dev device having essentially the same guts excluding cdma radio, physical kb and a few other slight differences; development should take off for the epic. I'm excited for a working cm6 build and once that happens an miui build shouldn't be too far out.
[Epic 4G General] sporkisfaster:
Unfortunately because of the even slight differences, it makes all the difference to the development. The Epic is the most modified of all the devices and it would almost certainly take a physical epic in a devs hand for us to get something...blame Samsung for not releasing all of the info we need.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
The source code hasn't even been dropped for us Epic or 2.2. I blame this crap on Samsung and Sprint, not our dev's. If we had the information and source to work with, then it would become exponentially easier for the dev's to manipulate CM6 to be ported over. It will happen all in good time, cause for every 1 dev we lose when it is offically released, I'm sure 2 will take its place.
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Really only need another 30 ish more people at $10. That's a small percentage of Epic users on XDA I'm sure.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:

[Epic 4G General] megabillzilla:
I didn't realize this wasn't common knowledge, this being XDA and all, but you can follow their progress on twitter at @CMSGSTeam. They announced this a while ago on the CM forum. If you followed it, you'd know noob never ceased working on CM for the SGS, he just stopped posting on xda.

It's not an "exciting" twitter feed, it's just a dump of github updates, there's no commentary, but you can at least keep up with how it's going.

I say this not so you can bother noob more about it because he's obviously tired of dealing with the community. I post this so you guys can see that it's being actively developed (I see updates every single day, although I have no way of knowing how significant they are) and has been for some time.

The guy said he doesn't want your money, he obviously doesn't want to chat. Just relax and let him work.

[General Questions and Answers] fluxxion:
Ok, i looked at the other threads on here and couldn't find any helpful info. i've looked at other forums on the web and couldn't find help there either.

so I've rooted my Huawei S7, installed Titanium Backup which installed Busybox. It looks like i was able to back up everything on the tablet with titanium. I then installed Android Terminal Emulator 1.0.4, developed by Jack Palevich. But when i launch the terminal emulator, I can not run any command. Every command that i enter gets a 'permission denied' response. i have no idea why this is. Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: After some thought, when i am entering the commands, the keyboard is trying to autocomplete the commands and capitalizes the first letter of the command, so su is being entered as Su and ls is Ls. This seems like it could be the problem, perhaps? I tried turning off all the settings with the keyboard but the commands are stilling being autocompleted and autocapitalized. Any thoughts?

I'm sure there are apps for it, but if you're on CM..

1) go into Settings> CMSettings> User Interface> Automatic backlight

3) go to "edit other levels" and change the values for buttons to "0"

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
So I desperately miss Hyperdroid and Shubcraft for their Sense and Cyanogen builds but I need more stable builds with newer updates on stability, battery drain, wi-fi, LED, GPS, etc. What builds do you find to be the most complete to date and which kernels and tweaks are you all using?

I'm not looking for perfection or a lot of detail, I just don't have a lot of time to test all of the different builds lately with my schedule and was hoping for some suggestions. For now it looks like HD2ONE for Cyanogen based and MDJ for Sense based seem to be the most complete but I keep running into little snags here or there.

Anyone have any recommendations? I know they are all great and I love working with all the different builds. Just wondering what seems to be the magic combination of build + kernel + tweaks (if any) that you have found. I'll figure out the rest.

Thank you for any input you can provide.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
So here's what I'm thinking would work for me

Non-Sense

NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.7 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1

Sense

MDJ Froyo HD 4.3 with included MDJ S7.5HD

Cyanogen Based

HD2ONE 0.3.3 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1

Guess these 3 seem to be the best for what I'm looking for. I am not sure what the best kernels are for each but I'll keep messing with them. Anyone have any suggestions on what I may experience that I should know about or why I should use the oldcam vs regular, which ones really need to be OC'd or whatever?

Thanks and sorry for being so vague. I wish I had more time to mess with this and I just got spoiled with Hyperdroid and Shubcraft till they fled the scene to go work on improving their minds and making a difference in this world with their talents instead of working on Android builds all day. How selfish! :) /s
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Non Sense: JDMS 1.6

Fastest build i've ever used and stable too, just try not to customize it much. :3

Sense: Mdeejay froyoHD 4.3

Well it's not the best, i'd prefer his revolution build over it cuz it's faster, but since mdeejay hasn't updated that build in a month and seems more focused on his hd build, the froyoHD will get better over time

Cyan: HyperDroid

It's the best cyanogen mod i've ever used, but it hasn't been update in a month so iunno.

Overall i prefer the JDMS 1.6 build best, stable and fast (quadrant score of 2300+ for me without overclocking the cpu). I'm having some problems with music skipping on it and it turning on party shuffling and itself randomly at time, but i suspect it's the winmo rom causing the problems since windows media player pops up randomly too when i use the winmo rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
Thank you for the response. I know this is like saying "what's the best flavor of ice cream out there?" But we watch the Food Network for the same reasons. We sometimes just look for ideas.

So yes, I liked JDMS a lot but I just noticed the nightly builds of HD2ONE and it is rocking so I'm going to stick with that over JDMS or Hyperdroid. I'm pegging 1900s in quadrant and it seems like everything is working. I'll need to spin it for a day to make sure. I like it enough that I'm not going to use NexusHD as my daily any longer but of course I will still mess around with it as it's a very nice build. I would like to find MDJs CM nightly's wherever they are.

So I totally agree with MDJ4.3 for my sense build. I had to install setcpu and rock it all the way up to get the same quadrant scores but it was needed as it was a little laggy otherwise. Everything seems great in there too. I think the bluetooth audio controls aren't working in it if I'm not mistaken but I can deal without that... again, will spin it for a day or two.

So yeah, I hope that helps anyone else. I know the best method is just trying all of them out and seeing what happens. I'm sure there are others that may sway me but everyone here is so awesome that I'm sure it will only get better... as soon as Gingerbread drops, I'll be messing around with new ones again. Love this phone until some true innovative phones drop, I'm wicked happy as always.

Thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jcsy:
how about between Darkstone/MCCM FroyoSense 3.4 or MDJ Sense 2.4 as sense builds?

personally I havent tried the non sense and cyan.

i also have tried MIUI builds (Iphone interface) which still is in development however very fast and very responsive... just that I didnt want my HD2 to look like an Iphone, which defeats its whole point
