Probably because of the missing dependencies.. You can't simply copy/paste the apk.. I wish it were that simple...
[Nook Color General] FletchF:
I really like this thinking. I only have limited experience with Honeycomb, but there's some question in my mind whether 7" is too small for Honeycomb and Gingerbread will be a nicer experience. Honeycomb clearly rocks on 10".
[Nook Color General] EpicFail236:
Looks awesome. I assume you went crazy with the framework to do a lot of this. Any suggestions for someone just starting out with framework editing? Ive looked a bit at the code, and its a bit intimidating, probably because im not sure where to start. have any advice or resources for us mortals? :) Thanks for what you do!
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Read :) The code is explicit and commented. You can use a search tool to find string instances, depending on what you wish to change..

[Nook Color General] MACLUIS1:
There's an app called Plug In Launcher that I find might be useful to combine with your nookcolorUmS app for those having problems mounting sd card. it launches an app when you plug in a usb or head phone Jack. If you devs can find a way to activate a microphone in the head phone Jack it might activate a telephony program also. And yes, waiting for your rom anxiously
[Nook Color General] nebke:
very exciting, I am enjoying CM7 right now but if I could get the 'back' button on the bottom that would be awesome. Love your work sam and I can't wait to see more of this.
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
am i reading this right?

When cm7 hits stable your going to make a heavily styled cm rom with hc features? Or you're going to work on the hc rom?

I guess what im asking is should i look more forward to cm7 stable or hc asop?
[Nook Color General] Andrmgic:
I think sam is saying that he'll build a more tablet friendly rom using CM7 once they get it stable..

I know I'll switch to HC when they release an AOSP rom for the Nook Color..
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
sam i love you...no homo

but seriously i didnt use CM& because of the notification bar being at the top

with this mod i would LOVE to use CM7(im way to use to honeycomb UI now)
[Nook Color General] JMonkeYJ:
you should just check out HC on the nook if possible. i really do not think 7" is too small for HC, especially since the nook has such a high resolution display.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
I'm not sure there's a point in making a flashable zip of this right now. This would require an update every time a new version of cm is released.

If there's such an need for it, I could release a RC1 version. But nightlies I doubt it. Sorry.

Moreover, the notification panel is everything but slick. It needs some coding still.

And this thread is only CM related. Nothing to do with HC.

[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Can this possibly work on Froyo?
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Well its always doable. But the framework has changed since 2.3. So the changes will have to be done differently. Haven't looked into it. To be honest, I don't see much interest in working on froyo when a stable version of GB is one the way..
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
While I'm at it, is there any other feature someone can think of that they would like to see added/modified in CM7's UI?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Ok before anyone starts raging, I've already searched around the forum and seen some say BLN is a battery drain and others saying it isn't. I'm curious as to what peoples experience has been with it on all the new 2.2.1 ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Drains probably 2% more total during the day for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
What app are you using to control it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
The app that it comes with...

Bln something

I think its in the market too
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
MY sugestion USE noLED app it shuts off your soft buttons so they wont light up and noLED is way cooler :PPP
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
from what i've read from neldar himself (the guy the introduced the bln code, and created the bln settings app, and using the pro version you can control blinking, schedule when the bln on is implemented and when it isn't, etc), he's seen it only uses 0.85% of your total battery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
How many seconds on/off do you have it set at? Also do you have it turn off after 5 minutes? or?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
Ive used both bln and no led is better in my opinion
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Care to share the reasons why? Thanks...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
you guys are so paranoid about 1-3% battery life.

I'm using CM7, and i have bln set to always on (as flashing bln eats up more battery, plus the normal Cm7 stuf doesn't support blinking bln). I get ~45 hours of battery life. For those that think bln eats up battery, it's only placebo effect.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Did you every try it with blinking? How big of a difference on batt life?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
CM7 hasn't had any added in blinking support since about April. There is one kernel that doesn't use LEDNotify, but rather the actual bln code. But I will have my led lights on for hours at a time, sometimes the entire night, and I still get nice battery life.

As for Samsung roms, I compared both blinking and non blinking, and tlfor me the difference was negligiable (sp?).

But seriously, stop worry about these stupid 1-2% and enjoy your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ the question was posed before people KNEW how much of a % it took, lets not be harsh. Not sure how you are getting near 2 days of battery life. I assume you mean if you just leave it sitting... not a very good indicator for real life. I think 10 hours is more like it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpass:
I've been using BLN control pro with bi-winning for a month or two now and have noticed no difference in battery beyond normal variance.

I prefer BLN to noLED because I was never able to get noLED to work consistently.

I am having a similar issue.....

I oneclick it, reboot and see SuperUser. I reboot into recovery Volume down, camera, power, and it reboots to CWM recovery..... that is where the issue is.... now matter what I try to do, reboot, install from sd, wipe... etc, it all just goes forward to the next screen where I see the cwm hat and an arrow..... that is the last thing I ever see as it locks up at that point every time.

I have to Odin back to stock everytime to do anything. I have tried purple cwm several times and even tried to drop back to orange......

ANY ADVICE?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
This has been plaguing my phone for a few months i can't even get 24 hours without it dieing. I can't figure out what the problem is and i have tried everything except a full wipe which i want to avoid.

Before i would get about 2 days with normal usage (few calls, browsing the net, msn, music and little bit of gaming)

Now when i unplug it at 7AM it is almost dead by 3PM (15%) but nothing has changed so i can figure out where the drain is coming from. I'm using Doc 9.6.6 (was on 9.1.4 and did a NO WIPE of 9.6.6 yesterday to see if i could get better battery) and SpeedMod K13C 500.

Everything that uses data is disabled or set to manual. Wifi is disabled, GPS is disabled, Bluetooth disabled. Google/Facebook sync is disabled. No Live Wallpaper, Email is set to NEVER, Fancy Widgets is set to NEVER. Reset the battery state in recovery numerous times, wiped cache etc.

Last night phone was at 60% when i woke up the phone was at 35% and that's only about 10 hours and after a FRESH shutdown and reboot. So nothing out of the ordinary like a game was running.

Whats Running after a fresh boot is in the pictures below, ending things like Tango and Galley, Facebook make no difference.

What is causing this massive idle drain?

If i need to do a full wipe is there a way to save my games saves? don't care for anything else just dont wanna start angry birds over again for a 3rd time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
You got 2 days before??

I've always only ever gotten max 12-14 hours out of my battery. Wifi off, bluetooth off, gps off, 3g on, background data & auto-sync on for: 2 gmail accounts + facebook (no auto refresh) + twitter (updates ever 30 mins) + whatsapp. BeejiveIM, GoSMS, Lookout, weatherbug elite widget (updates every 12 hours), agenda widget, NoLED on, and go launcher ex. Running stock rom JL2. Drains about 15% overnight (7 hours).

Not sure how you got 2 days before, but sounds about right to me that you get less than 24 hours from your battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Myself and many others get 2 days with light-moderate usage. I'm on 2 days 9 hrs and 10% left right now with 2 hrs 15 min screen time.

If you can't figure it out you might just have to bite the bullet and wipe it to see if that works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaanJordaan:
Did you try this:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
O.o can you post your usage habits and what you have running the background etc?

I've only ever been able to get 14 hours out of my battery with light usage (mainly texting every 10-15 mins or so). Even after a wipe :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
yes i did try that, its annoying the hell outta me that it used to last 2 days but now its like this and thats with everything off.

I used to have a live wallpaper on all the time and yes that did drain the battery allot but i would still have about 30% after a full day of usage from a full change.

Now it dose not matter what i change if i live wallpaper or not its still dies about 3PM

any way to save my games says if i have to do a wipe?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] slaman:
That's awesome! I get 8% an hour drain on idle with 2 gmail accounts, and a few apps synching... with usage (bluetooth music, browsing, texting...) I have about 15% an hour drain.

Wiping, battery stats wipe, new roms, kernels, and modems don't fix anything... I guess we just have to accept that some units go through more battery than others!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
If you're using Google Latitude service (configured via Maps), try signing out of it and see what it does for you. I've been suffering from excessive battery drain as well and after a lot of experimenting I've found out that using Latitude on Froyo ROMs (any Froyo) leads to phone not entering sleep mode properly for some reason and therefore draining battery a lot.

Nexus S users are experiencing this as well and I've even had confirmations from Desire users experiencing this, so this might be some bigger issue not related to SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
:O oh man I hope this is the case, I will sign out of Google Latitude, and report with the results in a few hours :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
There's all the standard stuff running, gmail, swype, social hub, task manager, some other widgets, etc... There's no talk time on this run, it can burn it up pretty quick probably 20+% per hour.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
Wow. I'm insanely envious of your 3days! and also, your display only sucks up 53%. Something is odd with my phone, my display usually takes about 98%.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
Hm, do you have Google Latitude signed in on Google Maps?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
No, no Latitude.

The display will suck up 90+% if you're using the phone alot since it burns battery much faster than idle or networks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
Interesting, I'm going to give it a go without Latitude on after I reflash stock JL2. My "Time on" for Display is usually something like 40mins or so when I check it at 98%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Idle drain seems to be what are most worried about.

Ok first fix permissions from cwmedia recovery in speedmod.

Then wipe cache and dalvik partitions, don't worry your phone will rebuild them.

Next I would try something if you want avoid a factory wipe.

Disable swype and clear app data then re-enable. Swype seems to have non wipe issues thru kies.

Now use OS monitor app to find apps which lurk in the background and then check their permissions, ones that can keep the phone awake are the culprits. Wipe their data or uninstall.

Facebook app sometimes doesn't shut down properly so watch that.

Also after a session I like to use clear mem level2 to stop Facebook or another app eating battery.

Finally what modem are you using? Jpy modem sucks for me at least. The latest jve from the gingerbread leaked rom is superb!

Hope this helps and good luck!

Stock JPY, Insanity SpeedMod OC-1200Mhz/UV, ext4, JVE gingerbread Modem,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Something I did a while ago seemed to help.

I ran down the battery till it switched off. Phone wouldn't power on. I plugged in the charger and powered on again. To my surprise the battery showed about 25%. Unplugged the charger then used it again till shutdown. Took about half an hour to do so, even though it was only connected to charger for a minute or so. Did that about 5 or more times till finally booting up with charger connected showed 0%.

Generally it not a good idea to boot with the charger connected as it stuffs up the battery stats or something, but I think in some cases it can help. Charged it to full and had no problems since.

Obviously this wont help if something in the background is killing the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hotsync100:
May be you have a task killer running in background and killing tasks that you shouldnt kill, by example any widget you have in your screen, it will cause that it will be reestarting and consuming CPU each certain time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Khyllion:
Remove TANGO !!! This soft was draining more than 25% overnight on my SGS (even if there's no service running and if it's not in task manager), After removing it, now my battery decreases 3-4% in 8h !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Funny Tango was the one thing that jumped out to me from the process list, but I don't have any experience with it myself. Shutting that off for a while is probably worth a shot.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
And what is your battery at? It should still be about 70-80%.

I would expect the screen to be most of the burn since 48 mins of screen will use almost 20% battery (at low brightness) but standby/idle should only use a few percent in that time.

What screen brightness do you use? I'm usually using 0-25% indoors (also I think speedmod lowers min brightness). If you're using 50+ I could see the screen burning much more than 20%/hour of use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
My battery was at 62% or so I should have taken a SS of that too :/

My brightness is set to the lowest setting.

I'm currently at 46%. "7h 43m 40s since unplugged" and display is at 94% (1h 2m 54s)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
well there was a major difference today, home now and at 50% but then again i didnt get a chance to use my phone that much today just 2 hours of music is all i did with it today. I really hae no idea what i did that was different then any other day. There is no apps that are using data other then talkdroid and the browser. So with nothing connecting automatically it did make a difference, but i still gotta do some more test to find out what app is ussing the most battery.

As per others post i made sure i closed the following apps via systempanel;

Facebook (still had the widget on the screen)

Maps (background process ended)

Tango (i never let it run in the background anyways)

The above i have disabled lots of times before and didnt really notice a difference

Disabled Swype and cleared the data and enabled it again

Latitude (never joined)

It seems to have helped whatever i did, I have now uninstalled Facebook and Tango will restart the phone tomorrow morning and will enable email/weather updates again.

On my way home i went on Facebook for like 5 minutes and had my music running and fell asleep, when i woke up an hour later at my station i noticed my battery went from 71% to 63% thats a 8% drop with the screen being off and just music playing which leads me to believe that it maybe Facebook, but can't be sure as 8% drop seems alright with an hour of music play. Maybe it was Swype or Google Maps.

QUESTION:

would being in a no service area drain the battery more when data is enabled? usually at home i get 1 maybe 2 bars? at work its always full bars and thats where i spend most of the day and use the phone the most and get the drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gammalerik:
Yes, poor reception drains battery faster. Especially poor reception while being connected to 3G drains a lot.

In the cases where I get 5 days and more of battery, I have chosen "GSM only" (2G) and have a strong signal (50dBm).

-3G uses just about twice the battery compared to 2G during standby, phone calls and use of data. Maybe even more when it comes to data.

I also always tap the power-button to turn the screen off when I put the phone away after use and do not let it go auto off after a given time. The screen is the major culprit when it comes to drainage. By the way, I have set my screen to lowest brightness. There is one more thing about the display: When I set the brightness to lowest it seems that it remains on 10% or so. After I installed "Quick settings" I can set the brightness to 0.

Whenever I can, I use black themes in those apps that have this possibility i.e Handcent SMS. Same goes for the background. Here I choose the ones with a lot of black in them

When it comes to wifi, I activate this only when needed and turn it off as soon as I am done, and 2G goes back on automatically.

Sync is off. Background data enabled.

When I use Spotify, I tap the return-button (not homebutton) till I get to the homescreen. This way the program closes, but the service remains active and I control the music from the widget instead. I have noticed that when spotify is open, the cpu uses from 6-20% and drains fast. There may be apps that you use that have the same characteristics.

One last thing that can drain ENORMOUSLY is if you have corrupted mediafiles on your phone. A process called mediaserv or something like that will then hang and drain at a staggering speed. If this is the case, this process will show up in the battery-stats-page.

Edit: Remember to turn off wifi when you leave your wifi-zone. It will keep scanning for networks if not.

As for your last question, jebise, I would guess that having data enabled in a no service area will drain faster. But this is just guesswork. I guess the phone will scan for both data- and regular cell connection then.

Edit 2: I have noticed that from 2.2., almost all use of the phone's cpu is listed as "Display" and not the specific app. If I play certain games they are listed as "display" also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Yeah the battery usage is mostly useless in 2.2 except for on time and screen time. In 2.1 I used to see the various games and apps I ran, including music player, now it's just display, standby, idle, wifi and phone calls. It sucks because playing music where the screen is off is hard to account for.

I burned about 40% listening to Slacker (streaming over 3g with high quality on) for about 4-5 hours today. Then I switched to built-in music player and played stuff from the SD card for another 2.5 hours and burned another 10% or so. I can look these up in JuicePlotter because I remember I was doing but built-in battery usage is useless for this. JuicePlotter is a great program BTW (although pretty sluggish to open) for figuring how fast various activities drain the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
I have done this since i got my Omnia 2 days, I always turn off the screen using the power button when i'm done using it. Never really use wifi unless installing updates or at home (low cell coverage) and turn it off right away. I always set dark themes and dark wallpapers so the AMOLED screen dose not burn in and to save battery. I hate having the brightness set to auto and setting at the lowest setting is fine by me and i like it that way as well. GPS hardly use, Bluetooth is useless to me as of now.

The only thing i keep on 24/7 is data unless using wifi and used to get 2 days without issue, which is good enough for me as i do like to have data enabled and email/weather refresh every hour.

It seems since i uninstalled Facebook and Tango when i got home i'm draining 1% per hour on idle which i think is good enough. I will not know till tomorrow when i restart it in the morning and not killing and startup tasks or apps using it like any other day.

As for WiFi Scanning dose it not make a difference if you have the wifi policy set to turn of when screen is off? that to me means when the screen goes off disconnect wifi and go back to data. Also i remember there was a patch someone made that changes the scanning duration from every 30 seconds to like 20 minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaoszero112:
Wow, I'm lucky if I get 10 hours of constant usage. 35% drop ofter 4-5 hours is normal for me even since it was Stock 2.1.

Might be true that 2G helps battery, but Bell/Telus don't have a 2G network only a 3G (more like a 3.5G).

But I would die with how slow 2G was when I was on Rogers. 3G is a necessity for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] idastheman:
Try to run your phone in airplane mode while you sleep and see what happens. If it drains more than 1% in ~6 hours its an app.

I don't understand why some of you are excited about using your phone for 3 hours in 3 days. Why did you buy an expensive smart phone and use it for 1 hour a day? Go buy a Nokia feature phone. You can get weeks out of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Who says I'm excited? It's kind of expected that a phone doesn't kill itself in a day when you're not using it.

We don't all have time to screw around on the phone for 2+ hours a day. I'm at home or at the office most of the time, but I still don't want to be stuck with a crappy feature phone when I'm on the go. I also don't want my phone to be guaranteed dead the next day if I forget to plug it in for a night.

There's also nothing to be 'excited' (or even satisfied) with if your phone always dies in 12 hours whether you use it or not.

I get about 3-5 days standby time, 5 hours of usage, or a mix of the two and I'm happy with the phone and what it can do when I need it. Your opinion of what phone I should buy means little to me.
