Currently running Nero v3, want to know:
A) how to return text messaging thread layout back to original JI6 stock (orange and blue)
and
B) where I can find the battery reconditioning software or information on extending the battery life.
Nero v3 is THE best ROM hands down, lightning fast!!

A) you can go into the stock ROM's files and take the messaging.apk and put it into the rom you have right now, be sure to make a backup of the one you have just in case. As for me, i'm using GOSMS, it looks great, has a popup thing etc.
B) i'm looking for the same info, i heard you have to drain the battery down to 0% then 100% then erase battery data from recovery, but others told me that draining lithium batteries shortens their lifespan and makes it even more difficult for us. Theres a easier method that worked wonders for me on my previous rom; I charged till it said 100%, then shut down, and plug in usb, so it starts charging again, then wait until it beeps or says 100% again, then reboot, and charge again, till it goes to 100% it doubled my battery, but idk how at all.
Thanks, I backed up everything through TB, so I should have the original file, just didn't know what the file name was.
Yea, I also read something like that in one of the threads, I forget which one it is. I also read somewhere about a flashable mod but also forget where that is because I was a mere newbie some 36 hours ago and none of this made sense, getting the hang of it though, very addictive, lol.
If I run across anything, I'll post the link in here

Titanium backup might not actually back that up, but theres a easier way, you go to SYSTEM/APP using a file system (root explorer, astro) and copy the messaging.apk from there to your sd or something, but im sure TB did it too.
The Flashable Mod is already included in most of the newest and latest ROMS these days, let me see if i can find if nero has it.
Nope, i THINK it has it, but i'm not sure since the original thread states nothing about a battery mod or something.
If you find a link to the battery mod, link me i'll check it out.
and yeah lol, flashing can get addicitive, so much that you accidentally hard brick your vibrant 2 times >.> (my own story lol)
Battery life improves with time, its like the battery gets used to your behavior on the new rom.
Idk why you would ask but Nero is currently one of the best roms, and best known for its battery life as well with the themes and such...
for me... Axura is just....... like 32 hours with moderate/heavy use at random times. Heavy being playing Asphalt 5 HD and Dungeon Defenders lol.
If any more questions just ask i have nothing else to do, school starts again tomorrow, so tensed up >.<.
Yea I found MMS.apk in that directory on my internal drive, don't know if that's the one that came stock or if it's for nero 3. Guess I'll just install it and hope for the best, lol
Where do you get GOSMS from? is that an app in market? tried googling it and couldn't find it. Thanks!
Battery reconditioning;
1.charge battery full
2.with charger still plugged in boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (it's under advanced)
3. unplug and fully drain.
4.fully charge and enjoy.
I can get more than 24 hours of good use on a charge.

I am so sick and tired of my battery draining so fast, i lose 10% every like 20 min WITHOUT touching my phone!
-I tried reconditioning my battery, didnt work.
-Went to stock and flashed, didnt work.
-wiped factory/reset, flashed rom, then cleared cache and dalvik + fix permissions, didnt work.
I really dont get it, i mean i know its normal for this to likely happen because you flash alot of ROM's and i do, I've been on Axura, Nero, and the M9 clone roms, but reconditioning the bbattery should have done it...but it didnt, and im sure i did it the right way, i used Master's way....
so tell me....what do i do?
Find a friend with a vibrant, tell him ur gonna do something cool to his phone, and switch batteries

"Find a friend with a vibrant, tell him ur gonna do something cool to his phone, and switch batteries"
well, he's kinda right, you need to see if it's the battery or the phone, if it's a hardware problem, there is nothing you can do about it but change the battery. and the best way to know is to use someone else's for a while to compare, knowingly preferably
i bought a 2800mah extended battery for mine.... and its SWEEEEEET, never have to worry about my phone dying on me anymore! even if i do flash several ROM's a day!
Just out of curiousity when you flash new builds on to your phone are you flashing at 100% battery? I had a similar problem until i started making sure to be charged to 100% before I flashed. Its also worth noting that I seem to get better battery on ROMS I have flashed over stock JFD, this may just be a coincidence but maybe it will help.
go to the samsung website and but a new battery for your Vibrant
i did it sao i have 2 batteries to switch them around so im always charged
The best advice I have seen regarding batteries:
1. Always flash at 100%
2. It takes a couple days fo a rom to settle in.
3. Use system tools and see what apps are constantly running.
4. You can use Titanium backup to freeze apps you don't need in the background.
5. I always turn the brightness way down. These screens are very bright and if you look at battery usage it's always the display that uses the most power.
Find the combination that works for you. Nero4 has been very good for me, I flashed Nero5 and it really ate my battery for some reason. I'm currently running Nero4 with KA7 and it seems good so far. I've heard good thing about KA6 & KA7. With Nero4 I was at 40+ hours and still had battery left. I also see good reports of Nero5 + KA7.
Good luck.
wow my batt sucked befor ka7 i got it stock tmo froyo i let my btt drain went wiped batt stats let phone xharge overnight bam i could not be more happier with my phone/music player and how long it last thru the day i also down clock cpu sometimes from now on using setcpu ill see how lont this will mke batt last,dude froyo was eatin my batt alive righ as i wad watching batt stat go down in front of my eyes now that i got rrue froyo made truly for my phone i think this helped alot my 5 cnts

My personal issue is SuperClean 2.4 does well on my phone but 2.5/2.6 die in under 8 hrs. Battery history under settings doesn't show any suspect 3rd party and I have flashed the battery stats script. Is there a cpu sleep state bug or something in the newer versions? I saw something on irc about auto-rotation errors.
Same issue here.
It's kinda bittersweet hearing that people are still on 75% after 12 hours of moderate use

Adryn did something with the new rom/kernel. I'm on 2.7.1 nonvoodoo and am seeing some of the best battery life out of my device. I'm currently at 70% after 16 hours of on-time, with over 1 hour of screen time.
Just wait until his next release and your woes should go away (most likely)
Im on on sc 2.6 I just switched to voodoo last night. Im noticing significant improvement over non voodoo.

Adryn said the weather app was constantly syncing on 2.6. Thus the battery drain. I trust he'll have it straightened out on the next go 'round.

Wonder if he implemented the change on 2.8. Was not aware that in order to use the bstats script you have to run it in the terminal. I assumed you just ran it in CWM. By the way, was the battery data function in CWM ever fixed for Froyo?
I'm having the same battery issues. The phone won't sleep unless I do the GPS on/off then update position in maps/latitude. Then it fixes, but it doesn't stick -- have to do it each night on my wife's phone. Has there been any fixes for that?
Im having a ver similar issue as the op. several days ago i rooted and flashed from stock 2.1 to sc 2.6 voodoo. with nitrodark theme v 2.1. I noticed that since flashing to sc2.6 my batt life has been cut drastically. im at 83% batt life after about an hr or less with it unplugged. I used the phone to make a 2 quick calls (about 5 mins during one call and 10-12mins on the sec) nothing else. this is after i flashed the batt fix zip. All i did was flash the batt zip. i didnt push anything or do anything more other then flash batt zip file. Some ppl have talked about steps after flashing the zip but the initial directions only say to flash the zip. Can somebody plz help with this problem?

Today is the first day my battery has seemed normal since I installed 2.6sc I'm thinking it must take time to recalibrate or something. It took like 4 days where my phone would die with little use in 12 hrs or less. Today completely different though.

I just came to the same realization. You really have to give a new version at least 24hrs to really see how it will behave. And that's assuming you installed and configured everything correctly. I will probably be able to get about a days worth of usage once it stabilizes. I no longer bother with JuiceDefender since it would screw up MMS messages.
I want to reiterate that the instructions for clearing your battery calibration info need augmentation. In a Terminal Emulator on your phone you have to enable su and then execute the bstats script (type su, then type bstats). It is recommended that you only run the script once your phone is fully charged and still on the charger. Don't expect miracles from this either. It is only meant for people who have royally screwed up the calibration tables i.e. they never wipe their data between flashes.

do you need to use terminal emulator and run commands in addition to the zip that the OP provided?

Yes. This is what I did.
Flash the zip file in CWM
Open terminal emulator (I used ConnectBot) and connect to the phone.
You should see a $ prompt. Type su and press enter
Answer yes if prompted to grant superuser rights
Now you should see a # prompt. Type bstats and press enter
Type exit and press enter. Now back at $ prompt.
Type exit and press enter again to close the emulator
You are done.
This worked for me, although I have since been pulling the batterystats.bin file out of my previous nandroid backups (when battery life was good) and restoring them after I flash a rom. This seems to speed up the process of getting the battery calibrated. At least I think it does, ymmv.
i come from the captivate and a friend has a fascinate. he complains about battery life and i get up to 4 days. there has been much development on a couple roms for captivate that change wifi polling freqencies and kernels with lower kernelhz that matches userhz plus other mods and battery life on a few rom/kernel/modem combos with these mods is much improved. is there similar in the fascinate section? i want flash a stockish rom on his phone that is fast and has good batery life, no lagfix, over clock, undervolt is needed for the kernel. what are my options? note it can be 2.1 as the fascinate seems pretty smooth as is. ill wait for an official 2.2 for him as it is not my phone and i dont want too many indicators that it is non stock.
i know you dont have sources for froyo, cant seem to find eclair development like i expected.

just so you know samsung has released source code for froyo. If I were you id wait as there is a community rom being worked on at the moment. Also if you look in the dev section there a few different custom kernels built from source. Im personally using a kernel thats uv by 100. Also theres a new radio out ecO1. look for that to help out in the battery department.

I just installed CM7, came from the community rom 2.1.
I am suffering from severely reduced battery life. It appears that 30% of my battery used comes from cell stand by - which is unusually high under my standards. I am not sure what is causing this, time spent without signal is only 1% for me. If I turn off 3g and only run on wifi, it is the same thing so I feel like it has to do with the cell radio. I did a *228 option #2 - but nothing, cell stand by still consumes massive amounts of my battery life. Does anybody know what is causing this, or have experience on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Is anybody experiencing similar problems?
What radio are you using? Cm 7 doesn't need to use the ec09 radio but I've had the best results with it.
what kernel are you running?
You may have something running in the background eating up batt life.
Run terminal emulator and type exactly this minus the parentheses
su (hit enter)
Dumpsys power (make sure the space its there and hit enter) you should see a value of zero on the last two lines if you don't have anything keeping your phone awake (this is what I suspect is happening) if it says anything other then zero do a search for poke lock or wake lock...there is a way to fix it...its just not coming to mind right now and I don't have my pc in front of me
Edit: if all else fails reboot to recovery via power button menu reboot recovery.
Wipe everything and flash again from the recovery that came with cm7

I am currently using ED01 for my radio. I hear good things about EC01, but I also heard it can junk your SD card - so I am not sure what to think. Will it only junk the SD card during the install, or can it do that at any time?
I am using the glitch kernel.
This is what I got:
mLocks.size=0
mPokeLocks.size=1:
poke lock 'PhoneApp' : POKE_LOCK_IGNORE_CHEEK_EVENTS
What are the effects of that pokelock? How long does it take the phone to go into deep sleep that is being prevented?
Thanks a lot for your help.
The ec09 radio is not gonna hurt your sd card...its ec09 rom
that eats cards so no worries there, but considering you have a poke lock on that is what us keeping your phone from deep sleep and draining your battery...if you get good signal currently, I would get that poke lock off, and not worry now about the modem being your number 1 battery drain, I'm not sure how to get rid of it but I know it was discussed here a month or so ago I'll see if I can find the fix...and deep sleep should happened a few minutes after your screen shuts off maybe less
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'll look, too. Let me know if you know how to get that poke lock to go away.
Thanks so much for your help =)
No problem, You could also try going into recovery and run fix permission and then after you boot do a dump sys power and you will probably see its at zero...call your phone and the wake lock will probably be back
I can't seem to find a fix other then doing a full data wipe and rom re flash...I'm just thinking out loud, but did you wipe everything before flashing cm7?...our did you restore apps with titanium backup? I'm running the 7/17 build with the glitch m.l. kernel and I have no poke locks, I know its a pain but I think it may be your best bet to re flash the rom use the kernel cleaning script or at least make sure you wipe everything and re flash
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah, I wiped data before. So you suggest wiping data again and reflashing the rom? I restored my apps with titanium backup. Also, since you don't have that poke lock, what is your battery life usually? How many hours do you get out of your phone? How much screen on time, etc.
Chiming in. I have the same problem. Used to get over 2 days on ComRom. Now i'm lucky to get 24 hours.

When you do a batch restore with tI-bu make sure you only use restore user apps and make sure you always choose to restore just the app and not data also.its possible restoring data may be causing the poke lock? Especially if you restored old system files, you only want to restore apps with titanium that you downloaded on the phone, not apps that came with the rom. which is also why doing a full data wipe and re flashing may be your best bet
If I don't look at my phone at all I can go the whole day and only be down to 75% at dinner time, and I've also had days where I need to charge it by 4 o'clock from web browsing, texting, flashing roms, or having to boot to recovery a lot, also listening to music with out the charger plugged in (about 2 and a half hours between

Hey I installed MIUI-NB a few days ago when it was released and am wondering how the battery is or if its supposed to even out? Mine lasts about 5 hours on light use and just an hour ago I had it at 87% and its now at 15% and all I did was mess with the theme a bit. I even have the data off. Is that normal for MIUI?
tough call, i flashed back to stock, had serious problems, i liked the build but too many scripts ,my phone couldnt hang, great idea just too muchfooofooo
you think the scripts have to do with the battery drain? I heard extended settings also causes battery drain.
1) Have you done atleast 3 battery calibrations?
2) If you have, does the battery stay bad even on froyo stock roms?
3) if they do, then your battery is most likely faulty.
Yup done the calibration and I can get through the whole day on a 2.2 rom so its not the battery.
I'm using MIUI-NB with Glitch v12. With JuiceDefender running, I can get more than 48hrs on light use (texting, car music, light gaming), and going 24hrs with heavy use is no problem.
Like the creator said, let it settle.
yeah for sure, what were you getting the first 2 days?
Problem with Titanium backup
Hi,
I just flashed the MIUI-NB rom. Looks really great.... but I previously had a different rom and had taken a backup of my contacts with Titanium backup. But now when I try to restore the contacts with titanium backup I see that its successful but there are no contacts. And when I choose to restore App+Data it gives me an error stating the contacts app cannot be installed.
Please can anyone help me out here.
Thanks a lot guys.

I flushed this rom several times...could not get GPS working.
I've followed the instructions: flush, wait, reboot, wait, foxGPS, reboot, angryGPS lock test.
so when I do angryGPS lock test, it looks like crazzzy but after that GPS would stop working at all!!! no mater what I do! I have replaced lib files for FFC so maby that what cosing it.
By the way what is the best stable GB rom for the vibrant for daily use?
I've been using boinx V and 1.3.1, but now I'me tiring to move to 2.3. I've also installed FFC just a week ago.
Please help!
