I was experiencing the same thing, I wiped the battery stats in CWM and it seems better now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yep, my battery life's really bad. About 1% per minute. I'll try the batterystats.bin thing, see what happens. Anyone else did this? Did it help? (Btw, here's the proper procedure.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
WOW! I did the GPS trick in Q5 in the FAQ section.. Now mygps locked in 5 seconds with a 15feet precision!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
1% per minute, wow, that's terrible. :eek:

Added clearing the batterystats.bin to the FAQ, hopefully it'll be of some use.

No problem, glad to hear it's working fine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I think there is something wrong with the battery stat, because today and lastnight it seems like my battery life quality has changed.

Lastnight I went to bed 100% reading on my phone @ 3am.. and I woke up at 10:10am and I was at 90% battery life, I was out for a bit and talked on the phone and now I'm at 43%.

I'm going to try wiping the battery stat and see if anything changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@seeARMS,

I have a question about the extended power menu and themes...

I have seen theme posts where they have included the extended power menu in the "theme" and not in a "rom" but you mentioned that you need to redo the "rom" to include it... Is that correct?

Can the extended power menu just be added to a theme and not the rom and if so... Would that make it easier for you to add it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Sorry for the noob question, but what's an extended power menu? I didn't see any difference in my menu?!!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
An extended power menu is something added by a Dev to extend the power option menu to include being able to boot into download and recovery without shutting down the phone, etc.

It has not been added to the rom as of yet and seeARMS is going to add it in a future update...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wink4life:
hey seeARMS.

Great work with this thank you. My phone IS RUNNIMG WELL. the eom installed perfectly along with the kernel thanks. The only issue i have is the set cpu, but im using the free cpu boost lol. So my issie is i camt get the settings to stay put, each time i set the values i close the program and go back in, its nack to default. And also with the lagfix do u have a post with the dwfinitions on the options like etx2,3 and 4 with and without binds just so so i get read up on it. Gteat work, thank you, w hat other ROM's u have right now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AER0:
Charged it to 100%, wiped the battery stats, reboot, left the phone alone for 7hrs.

Checked the phone and it stated 99% after the reboot.

Left it alone for 7hrs during the time I slept (3G off & WiFi off) woke up in the morning

to find it at 79%.

Still not on par with my old SGS running on 2.1, but an improvement from the initial

battery drainage I saw with the v0.3

Wonder whats still creating the battery drainage :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
See also here: http://goo.gl/5feUp. Looks like the culprit might be laststufo's latest SOK (4.6.8). His next release will hopefully fix this.

I am trying to load this rom but odin3 shuts down all the time never had a problem before now my phone is stuck on the boot screen i have jl2 on it and not sure why odin is not working anymore

I'm thinking of flashing this. scared of my sd card dying again. i don't know if this is a stupid question, but what if I have a samsung tv, and want to keep allshare. is there any where we can download it after i flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yeah, it would. Nearly done the R64 theme you requested (just have to do the black text again...) and the power menu should be included in that.

Never used CPU boot so I can't say. You can download Set CPU for free here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419.

The different lagfix options are just different Linux filesystems. Google "EXT2" and you can find a ton of info on it.

Only other ROM I've made is the XXJPY one for Bell phones. It's rather outdated though, as I've been focusing on this one.

Odin shuts down? Is there any error message or anything?

Try booting into download mode, and re-downloading Odin and trying again.

I'll upload a flashable zip with all the applications in a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Aren't you supposed to flash v0.3 through clockwork instead of Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@seeARMS,

That is SWEET dude. I look forward to the theme. Any further word on the battery drain issue? I see someone here thinks it has to do with the currect SOK in the 4.6.8 kernel. Any thoughts on this or can you confirm / deny?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
@dutch,

Are you trying to revert back to 2e using Odin or just flashing this ROM using Odin? Because this ROM is meant to be flashed using CWM. Read the installations for a walkthrough on what to do if you have JL2 (like in your case).

That could possibly be the issue. I don't see what else could cause it. Others are reporting that 4.6.8 has been causing them battery issues as well.

I reset my battery stats and my battery has been great, though. If you're battery is terrible I'd recommend doing this (for full instructions see the FAQ).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
v4.6.9 of Super Optimized Kernel was released, and it contains a wifi battery drain fix (as well as a few other goodies). Hopefully it'll fix all the battery issues some seem to be having!

It'll be included in the next release. :)

6% in the last 3 hours with wifi on...not bad...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I don't know if those would work, because typically files would have to be ported to JL2 in order to prevent errors (such as force closes). I'll look at getting it ported over and maybe included in the ROM by default.

I'll port it over soon as possible.

If you want to do it yourself, here's a quick overview of the process: extract the framework-res.apk in /system/framework in my ROM, and extract the framework-res.apk in the theme you downloaded. Copy the drawable-hdpi-v4/res folder from the theme you downloaded to the JL2 ROM, and overwrite any files. This does the basic stuff, do the same for twframework-res.apk.

Then do the black text by decompiling the APK, changing a line in a .xml file, and recompiling it.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty good battery on the new kernel as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Lol... Nope... I can't even begin to understand how I would do that (port the theme) ... lol... On another note...

If I do the battstat fix for my battery drain issue... You say to charge it to 100 % and then erase, etc but... if my sgs is only charging to 98% (which is all it says it is charging to) and I do this, will I mess up the calibration all together?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
If you charge your SGS with the USB connect to a computer, you won't be able to charge it at 100%. Try charging it with the wall connector (sorry for all the wrong english word :shame:)...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
I am using the wall charger. Last night I let my phone die on its own, plugged it in overnight and when I turned it on it was at 99%. It still did not reach 100%.

When it charged yesterday it only charged to 98% and according to the battery monitor just before it died it said that it had been 14 hours and 17 mins (or something like that) since being booted so that is how much time it took from charged to dead under medium usage. Is that normal,bad or good would you say?

I just wish it would charge up to 100% and SHOW 100% on the indicator... :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I plugged my phone in lastnight before I went to bed to a wall charger and it was at 99% this morning when I woke up. I had mine show 100% the other day when I cleared the battery stat through CWM. But this morning it was showing 99%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Possible reason for Bad Battery on v0.3...

seeARMS,

I have just read the YABD (Yet Another Battery Drain) thread in General and I believe that I may have found some good info as to what may be causing the bad battery for some of us on v0.3 of your ROM.

It is believed that there is a bug caused by removing the bootup sound(s). Please see the supporting info below from the YABD thread...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Having a short beep for the bootup sound would be fine with me, I honestly don't like the default boot up sound.

Hey SeeArms. My wifi wont connect after using this rom for couple days. I connected previously and it connects to other access points but just not the one i had at home. I had this problem before on JK4..and the only way to fix it was to connect wifi through allshare app.

I did everything already (e.g. reset, forget wifi, etc.)

I was wondering if you have a solution for this problem. if not is it possible to upload an ALLSHARE APK ?

Thanks!

Are you sure you using US English?

I'm asking because "UK English" which is right above "US English" in the language selection menu is a keyboard seeARM put together with the QWERTY layout, but with a french dictionary. This is a replacement for the "french Canadian Swype keyboard.

I'm on seeArm v0.2 and everythings is fine.. even the battery doesn't seem to drain too quickly.

But..

today I installed Social Hub from Samsung Apps. I configure all my email accounts in the Samsung mail application and my MSN and Gtalk account in IM Samsung. Everything works well until a reboot the phone. When I reboot, I have the processus com.seven.z7 error. I need to FC the Samsung email and IM apps and it's impossible to use them until I reinstall Social Hub from Samsung Apps. And every fail again when I reboot the phone

Is it related to the launcher pro or any others apps included in this rom??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BJNK:
I'm a little confused. This being a JL2 based rom, do I still need to update through Kies from JK4 to JL2, or once I have the new recovery can I flash directly to this ROM?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
You have to update to jl2 first...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'm getting this too. Should be fixed in the next release. Quite a minor bug really.

I've tested both JL2 and JK4 extensively, and, although the differences are minor, I've stuck with JL2.

That's quite odd. I'll get the Allshare APK uploaded as soon as I can... I'm just quite busy atm. Should be within a few days.

Yeah, I posted a fix a few pages back. Just flash it in CWM.

Where are you seeing this? I can access ringtones just fine.

Seems to be an issue directly related to the Social Hub app. People on stock JL2 are even having this problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883568&page=20

I dunno what could be causing it but I'll look into it.

You still need to upgrade to JL2 in order to get the new bootloader which supposedly prevents the phone's SD card from dying.

I have upgraded my kernel to 4.6.9 and I have to day I really don't like it at all. The screen is killing me. They added this variable screen frequency thing that dims the screen automatically. Horrible I vote for avoiding 4.6.9. They will hopefully give users the option to change this feature in the future.

What does everyone else think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MaverickHHH:
Yup. I am sure because I use Swype all the time and if it's set as "UK English", that is when the French dictionary starts going and its obviously everything is in French. when I set it to "US English", the dictionary is English but all the Swype tips are in French.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zeroculture:
I'm using version 4.7.0 of the SOK and battery is decent (turned off the screen thing - VSC?)... I started using Juice Defender and battery life is amazing. Lost 2% over night; about 8 hours. I'm pretty happy at the moment.

Can't wait for the extended power menu though, I miss it coming from Darky's. :D

Thanks bossman... are you on v4.7.0? If so... what's the battery like?

I'm starting to wonder if the problem isn't the battery mod itself?

@SeeARMS, could the battery calibration issue be due to the battery mod? Can I flash the stock notification bar battery meter?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
I had the battery drain issue on Darky's and seeARMS'. I'm running stock JL2 now with the battery mod and AOSP lockscreen and my battery life is back to being normal. Not sure what was causing the issues in the other roms though, but I know it's not the battery meter.

Try deleting the following folders, clearing dalvik-cache, and wiping the cache partiton.

/sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media

/sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media

Let me know if that helps.

I also found that clearing the battery stats is a bad thing. You need to completely kill your battery and fully recharge several times before you get back to what seems like normal battery life after a stat wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hi Electroz...

Thank You for the info. I will try what you mention. May I ask... What do YOU consider "normal" battery life?

For example... I am having difficulty getting my meter to charge up to 100% and it usually only gets up to 98% and this is after a "shutdown and charge" overnight.

So... When I turn on my SGS in the morning, it says it is charged to 98% and then throughout the day under "moderate to medium" usage, I will get approximately 14 1/2 hours of usage till the battery is completely drained. This is making calls, sending texts, using the web, facebook, xda app, etc at varying times throughout the day...

Would YOU consider this "bad, normal or good" battery life? Again... I just wish it would charge up to 100% on the meter... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] homergoalie:
This seems "bad" comparatively. I use pretty much the same apps you are with about a 25-30% drain per day. I can push it to 3 days use on a charge if one of those days I don't make a lot of calls, charging on that third night when its around 3-7%.

I do have a battery mod, I changed the wifi firmware (find a zip file in a thread by hardcore around here somewhere). Changed the gallery with sgs tools.

Diff kernel as well and I re-enabled the startup sound.

Not sure if any of that will help ya, it does seem battery gets better as Electroz said to kill it and charge it fully a few times.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
OK so... I flashed SO 4.7.0 and I can't STAND this VSF BS!!! I can't figure out how to disable it and I don't have rom manager to create the folder needed to disable it.

Please tell me how to get rid of this...

Also... when using juice defender do u leave it running so the icon is in the notification bar or can u "kill" it and it will just work? Sorry if that is a dumb question ...

EDIT - Screw it... I flashed Hardcores K12r kernel... I can't seem to win with SOK especially now since they added that stupid VSF option...

seeARMS ... please consider going back to hardcores kernals in future releases unless the VSF option is gone or MUCH MORE easily removed by noobs such as myself...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gochris:
I never flashed JL2 before flashing this, was on JK3 before.

Can I somehow just flash the new bootloader from JL2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
With very similar usage to your own (I use wifi where available though), I usually get about 30 - 40 hours of battery life out of a charge.

With darky's v8 and seeARMS' v.02 I was getting 15 - 16 on a good day. That's why I switched back to stock JL2 (running the latest stable hardcore kernel though with ext4 lagfix and all recommended tweaks enabled). I tried replacing the wifi firmware, but it didn't change anything with regards to battery life.

I may be just grasping here, but one thing these 2 roms have in common is the modded gallery. So I'm wondering if that is what's causing the battery drain issues.

As for the 99 - 98% fully charged thing. That is a new "feature" of the newest 2.2 roms to prevent overcharging and hopefully make our batteries last longer. However, without the battery mod, no one would ever notice, so it's just something we have to get used to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchI3:
I find there is alot of lag I followed all the steps if I wanted to reload and start over how do I go about doing that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmm... again... thanks for the info.

I really like the rom though and I am waiting for some themes to be ported. Perhaps I just have to deal with the battery life as it is for now...

I flashed hardcore k12r kernel and charged it from dead and got a 100% reading when I turned on my device. Strange... I hope seeARMS puts out a new version soon...
