MIUI/CM7 power usage issue/Kernel - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had power drain issues on both of these roms
Essentially, I am using up the battery way too quickly. Thought if I flashed the Bali kernel that may help solve, but it will not flash. So here are my questions:
1. Trying to flash the Bali kernel it is hanging on the MIUI screen and will not continue. Is there something I need to do to make it flash or is there another UV kernel I can use if so, which ?
2. I left my phone unplugged last night to test the power drain and lost 40% while the phone is in idle (normal before was 5-10%). What is contributing to this ? the Gallery ? or what? any recommendations would be appreciated.
3. 2 more weeks and Ill have the Hercules but I still want to make this work ...

Need more information. A lot more information.
What ROM? MIUI, or Energy Revamped MIUI? What Version? Did you follow all the steps? Even the ones you didn't think mattered? Is this your first flash of MIUI? Did you start from stock? Did you start from Gingerbread? Did you do a wipe? Did you wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions? What version of Bali did you use? Did you try to use Bali with the latest MIUI (new kernel, not yet compatible)?
Etc etc etc. We need more information.

The 9-23-version which is why Bali is not working, it does not work on the latest version. I have loaded both cm7 and MIUI for months and this is the first that has had this issue. I have addressed everything I can think of I have nothing running in the back ground other than the the standard TSR programs(which until now) has never been an Issue. I have not customized anything to add to the drain. As for starting point, I had Odin back to stock then, flashed the bootloader per their directions, so none of that is an issue, Bali will not load even after a clean stock flash and the script cleaning kernel flash, so that is why I was asking,:
Is there something I need to know to do, consider this I have flashed MIUI and CM7 30 + times with no issue until this latest version, I am not a rookie, just wondering if there are few other thing ppl know that are unique to this setup.

GB Kernel Issues

Okay I've posted about this before, but still can't figure it out...
My issue is this: When I install a GB rom, everything runs fine until my screen goes off.... its even fine if it goes off for a second, but if it sits for more than one second it reboots. A full reboot. I've tried both GB kernels, as well as MR 2 and 2.5. I've also tried using setcpu to set the minimum all the way up to 1.4GHz with no help.
Can someone help me fix this screen off issue? PLEASE?
Seems to have something with the dip in processor speed because when my phone is downloading from the market or signing in to google, or doing anything for that matter... the problem doesnt occur.
I don't really accept that I can't use Gingerbread because of this... there HAS to be a fix.
Thanks yall
What gingerbread roms have you tried? Also, what kernels were you using?

don't have this issue on Synergy 3.0 running the latest ziggy kernel
I've tried every GB rom on here, as well as both kernels
also, Ziggy kernel? You in the right section?
I would try wiping, then installing the setup in my signature, but don't restore any apps at first or sync with Google so they're downloaded automatically. I think that you've got an app and a kernel that's interfering with one another. Try the ROM bone stock before you start restoring apps and see if the problem is there.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.

when you say both kernels are you referring to the radios? cause mr2 and mr.5 are radios not kernels

I share your pain with this exact problem. I have been doing all types of testing these last two days to see if there is any combination of ROMS and Kernals that would work for me.
I can flash any ROM I want, and the only Kernal that I can successfully use is this one:
Imoseyan GB Stock Kernal
With this Kernal, I can use my phone all I want, let the screen go black, hit the lock screen button and I have never had a reboot.
I have run Thunderstick, BAMF 2.1, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, with this kernal and it will run fine.
When I change to any of these Kernals, I get the constant reboots when my screen goes off, just like the OP described.
* Imoseyon Lean Test
* Imoseyon 184mhz
* Imoseyon USBfix
* Imoseyon 2.5.3 test 7
* Nerozehl's dreamkernal 2.3.2
Of course, when flashing any ROMS and Kernal combinations, I would do a complete wipe before doing so. I should also mention that I am using MR2 radio. I can also use MR2.5 with the GB Stock Kernal and it runs fine.
So like the OP, it seems to be something to do with the kernal that my phone does not like and can't figure out. Anything other than the stock kernal, and my phone will constantaly reboot after the screen goes black.
I should also mention that I have used the speektweah.sh in terminal emulator and tried all of the different voltage settings and it had no effect. Also disabled it and tried using SetCPU and no luck either.
I have also tried all of the ROMS without allowing any apps to update by skipping the google account sign in. So basically all of the ROMS were running in their native state, and the outcome would be the same.
FOR THE OP
Try running the stock kernal and let us know if that works for you. You should just be able to flash it in CWM, reboot and you will know right away if it is working correctly.
The real question I need to figure out is this. What is different about the GB Stock Kernal from all the others that would be having this impact on our phones?
I've tried all of this except installing the above kernel. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
As for installing without apps, I've tried that. Tried everything. Lets hope the stock kernel works!
I've been running Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imo's kernel and never had this issue. It sounds like maybe something is bad with the cpu profiling becoming unstable when screen-off profiles kick in.

I can confirm that this one worked for me too. Synergy 3.0 running Ziggy's Kernal and everything works well.
Anyone know where to grab just the Kernal? Can't seem to find the latest download.
I should also add, that when I do flash the Stock GB kernal so that my ROM will be stable.... my camera freezes everytime I try to take a picture. Happens in every ROM I mentioned above. However, it works fine before I flash the stock kernal.
running "stock kernel" it looks to be fixed. Looks like I tried this before as I already had the file but.... works now for some reason
Thanks.
Will report back if it ****s up

Help fixing Thunderbolt problems following rooting/flashing process...

Hi, everyone. I'm used to rooting/ROMing/etc. on the Samsung Epic, but I'm very new to the Thunderbolt. I rooted my girlfriend's phone and had some problems with the data connection being inactive following a kernel install. I went back to as close to stock as I could in order to get everything working again, but new problems have surfaced:
1. GTalk crashes
2. Camera fails to open
3. Documents fail to open, as in Word
4. Phone fails to update, though it indicates an update is ready
Right now, she's on a pretty much stock Froyo ROM and what I believe is the stock kernel, or something very close.
I've read a bit about the camera and gtalk problems. I saw a link to a CWM flashable zip that apparently fixes the date problem that causes the closes. However, it wasn't clear if that zip was only for GB for if it also works for Froyo. Please advise on that.
I haven't seen any reference to the document opening problem, unfortunately.
As far as the update thing goes, I'd rather keep her on a custom ROM, as I assume the update will kill her root.
Basically, I'm looking for a stable and reliable kernel, ROM (preferably GB), and radio combination that is known to run without issues. Last time I tried to pick a combo myself, it ended up killing the data connectivity, so I'm trying to figure out the "best" combination that is known to work. Also, if there are any Thunderbolt-specific flashing procedures that tend to cut down on force closes and errors following a flash, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
-Rob
When you say update, you mean OTA? If so, you have to be 100% stock to get an OTA to install. You can't have a custom recovery installed.
Pretty much all the GB ROMs out there are pretty stable. The question is, do you want a Sense ROM, or AOSP?
As far as kernels go, Imoseyon's kernels are top notch. I prefer jdkernel for AOSP ROMs though.
I use the latest OTA radio and have 0 problems, and it works for both froyo and GB ROMs.
...
Thanks a lot for the response. I'd like to keep on the Sense side of things, just to keep the user experience sort of like stock for the girl.
So, to go one step at a time:
First, the radio. Is this the latest OTA radio that you mentioned (MR2?): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154010
Second, the kernel. It looks like nerozehl has a great kernel that's based off of Imoseyon's leankernel. There are so many versions, though. Would the latest Sense kernel 2.3.6 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099996) be appropriate, considering the ROM below?
Last, the ROM. It looks like SynergyROM is a good place to start. I believe the latest one is found off the download link near the top of this page: http://infectedrom.com/showthread.p...IGHTLYS-2.3.4-SENSE-3.0-★-☆-★?p=4368#post4368 Any thoughts on SynergyROM?
Does that combination seem like one that should work correctly?
Also, just so I have the steps correct for installation:
1. Flash radio in hboot.
2. Wipe in CWM (cache, dalvik cache, anything else?)
3. Flash kernel in CWM.
4. Flash ROM in CWM.
5. Reboot.
Thanks again for any help. It is definitely much appreciated. Can't go around breaking the girlfriend's phone, after all...it just looks bad!

There is an issue with the lib files for the Camera ,which is messing up Gtalk. There is a fix in several threads, something HTC did on the new base.
Here is the fix:

...
Thanks, fillyo! I assume this works for both GB and Froyo ROMs?
-Rob
If you flash the kernel before the ROM whatever kernel comes built in to the ROM will overwrite the kernel you just flashed. I would say ROM, kernel, radio.
Oh and when you wipe I would do:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. Advanced, wipe dalvik cache
4. Under mounts and storage select format /system

JBO, thanks for the advice. That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any comments on the radio, rom, kernels I've selected above? Particularly the radio. I was told the latest OTA radio works well, but is that the one also knows as MR2?
Thanks,
-Rob
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes the MR2 radio will work with that ROM as well as any leaked radio that is newer than the MR2. What radio works best is kinda subjective and seems to vary from person to person. I don't know if the kernel you linked is compatible you would need to ask in the Synergy thread. Honestly as far as the kernel goes I would just use the one built into synergy. I hear its quite good and has a great set of features.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
I've used SynergyROM and it is an awesome ROM. It comes with Ziggy's kernel, which is an awesome kernel. The OTA Radio basebands are 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r
I hope you find a ROM/kernel/radio combo that works for you!
That's exactly the info I needed. I'll just stick with the built-in kernel and the MR2 radio. Thanks for all the help, guys.

[Q] MIUI and GLitch Touchkey Issues

I have searched fairly thoroughly on this and have yet to see even one post. I am on MIUI 1.10.28.1 and *trying* Glitch v.12. (although I did try with older versions of both to no avail). My touchkeys become completely non-functional upon install of the Glitch kernal with MIUI. If I leave it with the stock kernal---no issues. But I know the Glitch runs much more efficient and want to use that one.
Has anyone had this problem occur? Just to note, I'm not talking about BLN, but total functionality. Makes it a real pain to use your phone of you cant go back a screen.
did you wipe cache and dalvik in cwm before flashing glitch?
On top of the cache wipes, I also use Kernel Cleaner script, before flashing.
I'm using JTs 1016 Kernel on Miui right now.
I have done BOTH of those to no avail. I am so confused by this...
If you can afford it, try the glitch kernel updater app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glitch.updater
it will give you gltich v13 which fixed that issue.

[Q] HELP! Problems after flashing the Goldenleaf Kernel BFS v18a / BFS v18c

Help me, please. I just flashed my Optimus One with Goldenleaf kernel BFS v18c yesterday and it wasn't as good as it is reviewed by the users. It did not boost my performance, doesn't make my battery last longer, doesn't have a better gaming performance and what's worst is :
My camera stopped working.
Everytime I restart my phone, it asked me to force close setting.
It always doesn't read my sd card completely.
My gallery stopped working too.
I cannot connect my phone to the computer anymore. (it does nothing but only charge)
A black and white screen (like those in the television when you does not have signal) appears everytime i try to unlock.
The keyboard reacts vey slowly.
It doesn't auto rotate anymore. (Let's just say it doesn't rotate at all anymore.
So this morning i was trying to "un-flash" the kernel to the old stock kernel and flash it again with another kernel but couldn't find anything in the internet. I got angry and just flashed it with the new kernel (Goldenleaf BFS v18a) without "un-flashing" it first. I flashed it with Goldenleaf BFS v18a because i thought the older version might be more stable.
After i flashed it with Goldenleaf BFS v18a, the same thing still continue to happen.
I couldn't find anything in the internet. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me, please ?! Your help is very much appreciated.
When you flash a kernel different to the default rom, the only way to get back to that default rom kernel is to reflash the rom, in your case my best bet is your using cm7 6.5.8. That being said the latest updated franco kernel is cfs 19.2. Somethings wrong with the brain **** scheduler (bfs)..your best bet, reflash everything and start from scratch, do your backups than wipe everything in recovery, before I ever flash a rom or kernel..I always wipe cache and dalvik cache than flash than wipe cache/dalvik cache..the most important lesson is knowing a .32 kernel (goldenleaf, franco 19.2) are designed for .32 roms ,you can't mix a 35 kernel with 32 RIM or you'll end in a bootlop...read everything you can before you flash anything because those problems you say your experiencing I never once had myself.. don't expect gold, franco and fserve work there asses off trying to her good kernels out. To recap: either use fserves goldenleaf or francos cfs 19.2 but restart everything before you do, get a clean slate...inbox me if you got the same problems, alot of devs are tied up at the moment

Can you show me a step by step tutorial? I'm really bad in this. I took 2 days to root my phone, that's how bad i am. And one more thing, it doesn't auto apply my Golauncher theme which i had moved to SD card when i turned it on and the keyboard reacts very slowly.
thanks for solving

[Q] VillainROM 2.4.2 to CM9

I installed VillainROM 2.4.2 (ninphetamine-2.0.4 kernel) on my Bell Galaxy S2 phone a really long time ago and have been satisfied with it so I never bothered updating or anything. Now I'm a little bored with it and have been thinking about trying out ICS via CM9 nightlies. I just have a few questions before I give this a go since I'm out of the loop when it comes to modding:
1) To install CM9, do I just put it on my SD card and flash with CWM after doing a factory reset and clearing the cache? Or does jumping from a GB kernel/ROM to an ICS kernel/ROM require an extra step?
2) My version of CWM is probably old, so will I run into any problems trying to install CM9? I don't remember what the version is, but it's whatever version that came with the ninphetamine-2.0.4 kernel. If I need a more current version of CWM, how would I go about installing it?
I think that's all.. Thank you for reading.
As long as you follow the instructions, it doesn't matter what you're coming from. See full instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
Notice that for the CWM method, the third instruction is to flash a particular CWM recovery to avoid potential problems. There are instructions on how to flash on the link to it.

Easy enough upgrade path
If you are worried about doing this, flash the ODIN "resurrector" CM9 package - it should sort out wiping and everything else for you.
If you want to do it via zip, put the zip file on the SD, do a nandroid backup, wipe data and cache, then flash the zip and latest ICS gapps.
I don't think you'll have any issues with installing CM9 using that CWM. If you do, ODIN flash latest Siyah Kernel. Go to recovery and flash CM from there and you'll be fine
Thanks for the help guys. I went with the CM9 Odin Resurrection method and then updated to the latest nightly (20120511) with CWM.
I'm very impressed with what I see so far. I'll have to keep an eye on it, but I am a little worried about the battery life. (Though considering that I am on a nightly build, less than optimal battery life might be expected..)
Also, my signal strength seems to be fluctuating a bit, usually between 3 and 4 bars, although sometimes it will go down to 2 bars. The modem that came with this build is XXLPQ. Is there a better modem that I can try, or is it just a matter of going through all of them? I was on MUGKG2 previously and it was quite stable for me.
I think LPQ must be your earlier Modem which is retained after instlling CM9, if I am not wrong CM9 doesnt contain a modem.
try KE7 modem, I have got a very nice experience with KE7 on ICS roms
