Apologies if this has been posted beore, but has anyone tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782242
Evreryone on that thread is reporting imrovements. Maybe our i9000 already has a better GPS than the Vibrant, but I don't know for sure since I don't have access to a Vibrant.
Dearest devs, any thoughts about this?
I haven't, but we saw a GPS optimisation based on the epic firmware..
At this point of time though, I think many people are simply waiting for the final version of Froyo though before messing around again.
regret,i9000 don't use this update.zip of GPS fix
I think all the gps improvements have been incorporated into jm8. As everyone seems to be pretty happy.

No I'm not happy with JM8...
The signal isn't powerful, and not precisely at all !!
So, has anyone tried it on the international Galaxy S?

[Q] glgps vs agpsd
I have noticed that Vibrants and Captivates use completely different GPS software. Their daemon is called agps. Our international I9000s have glgps_samsungJupiter. Different libraries and all.
Has anyone tried to replace glgps with agps and modify init.rc to start agps instead? Since they have a working GPS fix we might be able to use that on the international Galaxy S. Isn't the hardware the same?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, budt I haven't foun it.

Don't get me wrong, I love Myn's ROM and this thread is in no way a "lets derail Myn from his glory thread."
For one, my android system is running at 96% and I have absolutely no idea why. I flashed Calkulins new radio pack about 3 weeks ago along with his ROM and had no problems at all. I then switched to MIUI for awhile while I was waiting for RLS 5 to come out and since flashing RLS 5 I have had this problem and can't get rid of it. It doesn't matter what kernel I use, I still have upwards of 90% android system usage of the battery. I would like to figure this out or I may have to switch roms.
Another thing,
For some reason, after I just recently flashed to Myns RLS 5 Pandora sounds like it is playing out of a tin can. I have the higher quality settings turned on and it still sounds like crap, way worse than it did on any previous ROM. I'm wondering how I can fix this?
These problems are really starting to irritate me and I would very much love it if someone would help me out here.
Thanks

i've heard that flashing the entire update (radios, wimax, pri, nv)
causes the uptime on a lot of roms. i think your best bet would be flash the 1.77 PRI in calkulins thread. ive kept 1.77 pri and NV and my phone is just fine running myns RLS5 right now as a matter of fact. good luck hope this helps man.

Im not having any up time issues. My phone sleeps just fine, its the android system that is taking up over 90% + or my batery usage and its made my battery life crap.
Hmm...that's odd...I flashed the rom via Rom Manager, did a few optional updates with it, and the only thing I had to do was flash the 132 radio, my phone great, no FC, nothing.....Hell, I should take this phone into the local sprint store to show them how the SHOULD RUN!
hmmm well this is my solution and it come straight from netarchy in his thread

and ultimately thats really what it sounds like man, flash a different kernal if you really feel the need to do something besides a PRI downgrade, but i firmly believe that myns RLS5 is just fine.
try downgrading the PRI and NV then post back worse case scenario you have to upgrade again and that takes a whopping 5 minutes

My big thing is that my phone is sleeping just fine. If you look at the second post and click on the link you will see screen shots of my up time and awake time which is like:
up time is like 46 hrs or some **** and awake time is like 6 hrs. So my problem is that the "Android System" is taking up 90% + of my battery use. I generally get a little over a day of lite to moderate use out of my battery but since I flashed rls5 its only been like 7 - 12 hrs(not that I am complaining) but I would just like to figure this out. Also some thing else I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the top selection is "0" and when I click on it it just says "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. and please try again?
could this be related to the gingerbread menu upgrade? I have that flashed. Do you or have you ever?

i read your post, have you tried downgrading yet. im almost guaranteeing it will improve battery life the new 1.90 updates dont play well with a lot of roms causing ridiculous battery drain. now regardless if it shows its from the android system/networking problem or not im not knowledgeable enough to answer that, but my android system runs at 19% running myns rls5 and the 1.77 PRI and NV updates just saying..you might really want to consider just TRYING it ya know?

I love the SBC kernels and have read almost every post about them frying batterys. So I ordered a 3500 and am waiting for it to get here and then I will switch kernels. What is the stock kernel that is running with rls5? HTC kernel 15? Thanks for doing the testing. I have 4 kids and got pulled away for awhile. I think I am going to flash the stock kernel for rls5. Do you think I should still downgrade my PRI? I also hit the thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took to figure this out!
Let me just chime in here to shed a little light and knowledge.
Your problem is 3.70 base Rom. It's not a sleep issue. Probably won't be solved by changing kernels. Doesn't look like bad battery life since the phone had not been charged for 42 hours, that's almost 2 days.
If you ask me you have what most ppl are looking to get, which is a full day of use and more. Now correct me if I am wrong but how is going 2 days with out charging a bad thing???
The android system high %'s is a 3.70 issue which has affected a lot of ppl on the forum. The issue has several remedies but the easiest is to just reboot directly after charging the phone. Some ppl have said changing the pri back to 1.77 solved the issue, others have said updating their radio solved the issue.
Please give me a little bit more information so I can research more in depth for you...
Edit: Also let me state the facts here, please don't discredit someone else's work by saying a certain kernel,Rom, theme or recovery will damage a device. The sbc was a variable in ppl batteries being damaged and no one has proven that the kernel has indeed damaged their phone. Only here say...
I don't know if sbc is good or bad as the team I am working with are still in the testing stages with no clear answer, which probably won't come for months.

Once you look at my screen shots from my post you will see that my battery only lasted 7 1/2 hours with lite to moderate use. Also there is another screen shot with the awake time and sleep time. One of they other things I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the "thing" that has the highest usage is "0" and when I long press it to see what it is it just force closes. If you see my signature then you know what I am running.

Please let me know if there is any other information you need that will help you dig in. I am off to bed, as I have 4 kids that have endless energy (boy if we could just bottle there energy and sell it as an energy drink...rich!), I will check back in the morning. Thanks for all your help in advance!
There is definately a problem with the rom released 1-7-11.
It will not allow installation of google usb tether program and the file explorer always seems to be working (spinning graphic). I do not think the previous rom had this problem but I can not be sure. Tried other non myn roms w/o problem, retried myn's and reconfirmed that there is a problem.
It seems that he changed a few things and had some sort of side effect.
Somebody should try running ps, ps -aux or top from a bash terminal to see what is really running. A look at the error log would not hurt either.
Interesting that you couldn't install that. I'm not sure why. The spinning I believe you are referring to is where ads would be. Myn added adblock to the role rls5. Most apps with ads (astro,xda, alchemy, etc) will display the loading circle instead. You can remove adblock. Just search the threads.

Have you tried the reboot right after charging? Also I read some where to go into airplane mode and then turn everything back on. Also when all else fail, not sure how you got to myn's but for the sake of safety do a fresh install of it with a wipe on everything. May also want to try caulk's format all zip.
Try the reboot then see, if that fails fresh install and then see.. let me know each time...
The 0 in spare parts in the android OS and it force close on everyone. Don't be alarmed by that.

I had the horrid battery life after upgrading to Myn's latest and the treo update radio pack. Downgrading my PRI didn't fix it. It was the kernel. I was having random browser fc also.
Went back to HTC #17 kernel and all is well. Try swapping just your kernel.
With the flurry of ROMs available, but not alot of time to really tinker, evaluate, troubleshoot etc, I'm looking for a real no brainer ROM to flash. CM7 seems to be so popular, but I cant understand why since I hear of so many things that are "broken" like GPS, etc.
I'm obviously a noob to this, wondering why CM7 is such a winner in the community?

Cm7 and other aosp roms are the way to go If you want the best battery life possible and there is a fix for GPS
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Personally never had a gps issue, but CM7/AOSP offers the bets battery life and performance.
I tried every possible fix and only one temporarily worked. The ##clrxgps# or however it was expressed from sense trick. Others have had the regular flashable zips work though. Cm7 was great until I actually needed GPS..sadly made a wrong turn because of this "GPS currently lost signal" every few blocks..got into in accident the next day...not cm7 fault but..had I been on a stable ROM (GPS-wise) I wouldn't be a laughing stock right now lmao. MIUI has very reliable GPS. Just saying.

I also heard BT was flaky as well.
Is it too much to ask for a ROM with CM7 battery life but fully working 4G, GPS, BT, and WiFI? lol
Anyway, Thanks for the feedback all. I guess if battery life is your number one priority, its the way to go.

I use GPS Status from the market. run that every few days and everything is gravy. i use my phone to track my bike rides... so yeah gps mos def ain't broke
to answer the original question cause CM7 is the best
As far as the gps goes, browse around the forums here, plenty of options of fixes...but I recently went to the evo deck rom, its another aosp running 2.3.7, found it to be much cleaner and less buggy than cm7, and it still offers the different theming which imo is what makes cm7 legit.
I've only been rooted for a couple of weeks and went with CM7.1 stable because of its notoriety and large set of peers. That way there are a lot of people in your shoes if you run into issues, though I've had things go really smooth so far.
I flashed the GPS fix and that was easy. I can't really think of anything else that was "broken." Since then, I've flashed a Tiamat kernel and replaced the CWM Revolutionary recovery with the new Amon_RA recovery (3.08). It's very fast and stable in my experience... plus it looks really nice.
CyanogenMod include native theming support (also known as the "T-Mobile Theme Engine"), a codec for the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, a reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, Inc. together with original and third-party code.
Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware,as of 7 December 2011, CyanogenMod has recorded over 900,000 active installs on a multitude of devices.
Cyanogenmod has some of the top devs around the world working on it from top to bottom.
So Ive lurked around for awhile and read all the drama and many threads that ask the same thing over and over. Before XP came out I was on the beta testing group and have written many reviews for certain computer hardware as well as one of the originals of a Microsoft forums start up board and today is one of the largest. I also started a web hosting business and 5 years later sold it for a nice profit. Basically I'm just giving you some past info on me..............
Now my plans are as follows:
Phone:
SGS2, With all common apps installed, wifi on, service on, sync with gmail/contacts. Every test will be setup as a daily used phone. Prior to every flash I will have a fully charged battery, will run that battery down to 0 (till phone shuts off), recharge and then run that charge down to 0. Screen time on will be around 3 hours which seems to be typical (That's my target time).
Prior to each flash I will do a nano backup. I will not be doing a titanium backup of any apps. All apps will be reinstalled via market after initial flash. The steps for each flash will be performed exactly as detailed below and no custom flashing will be done. Each ROM as provided by the dev will be the only thing used.
Steps:
1. Place ROM on ROOT of your SD card.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode
3. Do a NAND BACKUP
4. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE
5. Select perform factory wipe / Wipe data/factory reset
6. Navigate to mounts and storage and format /system
7. Under advanced, wipe dalvik cache+wipe battery stats
8. Choose to install zip from sdcard
9. Wait while the rom is being flashed
10. Fix permissions (for those roms that require this)
11. Reboot
12. Now wait 15 minutes, phone will not be touched
13. Reboot again
14. Wait another 10 mintues before starting setup
Benchmarking (On full charge):
1. I will run each test 5 times (1 test, reboot, 4 test (after each test "Clear Memory" in task manager).
2. The scores of each test will be added together and divided by 5 to give me the average.
3. The 2 benchmark apps will be AnTuTu and Quadrant Standard
4. I will take a screenshot after each test
ROMs:
1. [ROM] DARKSIDE DIGITAL WARFARE [v2.4]
2. |ROM|Paradox II|Paradise|3|5|12|
3. [ROM] Juggernaut v5.0
4. [ROM] slickMOD v3.4[SUPREME]
Reason:
We have so many variables in what can be or is the best rom but I haven't seen one person do a full test on multiple roms for a few days and spend time testing how they work or feel. Yes I know, one rom may act differently on one phone apposed to another but I'm not trying to build a rocket or crown anyone king. I want to give other users a base to start with.
Suggestions:
If anyone has any other suggestions or comments please feel free especially if I have overlooked a possible step some where.
In closing if you think I'm just a nut job and I'm wasting my time please tell me that also. Last thing anyone wants to do is think they are doing a good thing and come to find out it was for no good reason and/or wasn't helpful.
i think this is a fantastic idea for measuring raw performance. however, you also have to keep in mind each rom has its own features, look and feel that is different from the others.

Oh yeah I totally agree and each user has their own dislikes/likes. This is really only trying to measure the ROMs performance via battery life and benchmarking. Just a starting point for end users who come here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493097
I started something this already a while back. And haven't had time to revisit it. If you are going to go down this path, keep in mind the criticism from my thread. I still don't agree that the clock speed should be normalized for all ROMs. But running it multiple times might be a good idea.
Having all benchmark apps on sd would be ideal. That way you can install the apk without having to install any other app, thus keeping the ROM in as pristine state as possible. I only found 1 ROM that didn't come pre-loaded with a file manager. So I had to adb install the apk.
It took a lot of time to do what I did, with just a single run, but I thought the results are telling. Some ROMs focus on performance, others focus on battery life. So I think this still has a place.
I was going to revisit my thread this weekend, but it was because I didn't see anyone else (or I was not searching good enough). So if you keep this up, power to you.

Thanks man. You did get a lot of heat in that thread but I applied you because your base test is what I am after. The typical performance out of the box as the dev hands to a normal user. I won't be changing any settings on the cpu or anything else. The dev releases a ROM setup for a reason so there is no need to be changing it like others posted in your thread.
Ive said it once and I'm sure I will have to say it a dozen more times - Base test for roms out of the box on 2 benchmarking apps, battery and personal usage is what I am after.
Great idea!
I would love to see your results!

cpu/undervolting
I really like the idea of testing multiple roms one after another on the same device. It would be the most accurate way to test them imo. Some roms are coming out from the developers either overclocked,undervolted, or any combination of the two. Do you intend on leveling these variables, in any way, before testing or running them exactly as the dev intended.

I'm going to run them as the dev intended. The main reason why is most people only gain the balls to actually try rooting and installing a rom but most won't mess with overclocking or voltage. I know many will disagree and say things like "these test never work or aren't correct" but I'm after the battery stats, out of box, end user results.

I just picked the top 5 based on replies/post via their thread. if you like I will definitely throw Foxstar in it. Ive finished with DIGITAL WARFAR and slickMOD and just flashed Paradox II about an hour ago.
When do you expect to be able to post your results? Any previews Also as I'm sure you already know Warfare 2.5 may be dropping soon.

As of now each rom test is taking 2-3 days. I would imagine in the next 7-10 days I would have a full thread with all results.
I plan on doing warfare 2.5 and I'm also waiting for Beastmod 5.0 to also do.
ROMs done:
DARKSIDE DIGITAL WARFARE [v2.4]
slickMOD v3.4[SUPREME]
Paradox II|Paradise|3|5|12| - Recharging to 100 then running benchmarks and I'll be done

First of all, mijjas goodness ICS (ff18) rom is good on battery life but i have a couple of issues:
the unlocker is laggy and if you use golauncher its even laggier and locks while you are on the phone!!!
you can't take screenshots
It will just freeze altogether sometimes and i have to sleep and wake the phone ..
programs force close!
Mijjas stupid updater is always popping up on my notifications and is very slow and freezes also!
The dialer will not work when trying to respond to automated services(this is the WORST!!..i couldn't call my insurance company, i couldn't even get through to my bank!!)
So i want to try re-calked and my question is this:
Can i just use the AGAT CWM recovery that i have, wipe data, use calkulins's format all and flash Re-calked?
any insight would be greatly appreciative, as i can't even type messages in the developer's forums and its frustrating!!

you can't take screenshots
It will just freeze altogether sometimes and i have to sleep and wake the phone ..
programs force close!
Mijjas stupid updater is always popping up on my notifications and is very slow and freezes also!
The dialer will not work when trying to respond to automated services(this is the WORST!!..i couldn't call my insurance company, i couldn't even get through to my bank!!)
So i want to try re-calked and my question is this:
Can i just use the AGAT CWM recovery that i have, wipe data, use calkulins's format all and flash Re-calked?
any insight would be greatly appreciative, as i can't even type messages in the developer's forums and its frustrating!!

Yes that recovery is safe flash away, but why don't you just try a complete fresh install of goodness beforehand and see if that irons out some of your issues? Not trying to deter you from switching though, I have ran goodness for a while issue free screen shots are volume down + power simultanously...they work fine for me...there is also a script in the updater for screenshots...you' ll miss theming and the updater...if you use them
Yeah i later found that with ICS, screen shots are "home" and "power" button for 2 seconds instead of instantaneous(like GB).
I went ahead and flashed the Re-calked rom that was basically calk's rom re-cooked into ics fh18 i think? The battery life was utterly amazing, but i have like 3 batteries and was more concerned with speed.
I am now running calkulin's ICS release and it is badass..Its everything i would expect from Mr. Calk.(aka the freaking man!)
Anyways, i DO get a random reboot here or there and for some reason go locker isn't super-ceding my stock locker sometimes..I didnt have this issue with the re-calked rom, and was wondering if golocker/golauncher is even compatible with ICS builds..
