Samsung stuff is still there and TV out works as well.

I'm on 2.4.2 but because it uses nin's kernel you will lose the CWM manager app that's quite useful and if you restore the app via Titanium you may find some stuff doesn't work.

What I did was redownloaded CF-Root and applied it via Odin in download mode as PDA.

You will notice the yellow triangle makes a return at boot but the CWM ap returns. You then have to flash the original KG6 Samsung kernel via Odin as PDA then using the CWM mnager app flash the CFroot kernel's zImage file which you will already have put onto the root of the internal memory (sd) if you followed Chainfire's guide.

So, looking for some help working out what's draining my battery.

I'm running VillainRom 2.4.2 with Ninphetamine 2.0.5, wifi is always on (and connected in the screenshots), gps/bluetooth/data is disabled.

At first I thought it might have been some random setting that had been restored when I restored my Titanium Backup backups, but I've factory reset and cache/dalvik cache wiped and it's the same.

For the first couple of hours the battery drain is nice and slow, about what seems normal to me, but then after that the phone is awake for a lot of time when the screen is off.

I don't have any apps that sync in the background afaik, Gmail is on manual sync so should only be syncing while the screen is on, I don't have facebook/twitter so can't be those constantly syncing.

Android OS seems to be what's draining the battery as it's using a lot of CPU time, during the first few hours or so it uses very little and the battery drain during that period reflects that.

Heres the default battery stats screenshots, notice at first the battery drain is minimal, then the graph gets steeper and is staying awake when the screen is off:

Here's my process stats from BetterBatteryStats:

And here's my wakelock stats from BetterBatteryStats:

I'm a noob when it comes to Android so any help would be appreciated, thanks

Well it confirms its not a test rom, that may only be for testing specific changes and that Samsung are happy its well rounded enough for general use as they've released it.....

i said it was leaked an unofficial, he said it wasnt leaked but it still isnt official in the uk. not a huge difference there eh? I'm surprised you two have the time to pull me up on something so trivial. go find something better to do ?

Do you want Samsung to come round and tickle your balls whilst telling you it is all ok or something?

not sure where that came from?

Wicksta · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:28

It's not 'leaked' though, so why are you getting so defensive about it? Sounds like you are the one that needs to get over being wrong.

For some people a leaked ROM makes a huge difference to an officially released one when deciding whether to flash or not so they are entirely right in correcting you.

mrk · 12 Aug 2011 at 15:29

I laughed quite hard at that

im not ?

i just said it was a trivial mistake. cant people read?

It still isn't the same as a rom released for the uk though, is it? if people are that worried about what's leaked and what's official but not for this region then it's probably a good idea if they stick to whatever kies is telling them anyway.

Sigh. If it's so trivial then stop being so butthurt about it and just think to yourself "Yup, I was wrong." rather than getting crappy with people who rightly corrected you. As I said (can't you read?) for some people it makes a big difference if a rom is a released one or an internal one that has been leaked. Give it up, you were wrong.

ffs Wicksta.

quite the opposite actually, honestly, I promise you, I wasn't getting crappy at all. But yeah, you go ahead and read it like that if you like. My point was it isnt official here (correct), but i was wrong about it being 'leaked'. I'll go hand myself in down the cop shop now, shall I? sounds like it's a punishable offence the way you are carrying on.

Can we move on yet?

That does sound strange. It's not something to do with it waiting for voice commands or anything like that? how about installing something like juice defender...will that override the screen timeout?

Your post has got me thinking. I did play around with juice defender then uninstall. Don't recall problems when I first got the phone so perhaps so weird left-over from that.

I am going to reflash to stock as all my data is in the cloud. I reckon that's the easiest fix.

Bloomfield · 12 Aug 2011 at 18:15

Hmm, so my post earlier about battery drain.

It looks like it's caused by "suspend" and "event/0" processes (which are shown as Android OS in the default battery stats), and is supposed to be the "Android OS bug".

I thought I'd read that it was fixed in 2.3.4?

Shikkaka · 12 Aug 2011 at 19:35

Can anyone link me to a stock VOdafone ROM? I've gotta send my handset back.

Thanks

Kreeeee · 12 Aug 2011 at 19:44

Anyone use switchpro? It annoys me that the LED toggle doesn't work on it, are there any decent alternatives?

Also, does anyone know how to change the 5 icons in the drop down bar at the top of the screen (GPS, Wifi etc)
