Hey guys. i've had it with Froyo. i have a list of complaints, but that kind of post has been done too many times.
basically i'm wondering how to "downgrade" back to a 2.1 rom. i started with OMJ's 2.1 "eclair" rom and now i'm running his 2.2 froyoized rom. i'd like to revert back to the latter. can someone clue me in on how best to accomplish this?
thanks!
I should expect it to be as simple as clearing data/cache/davlik and flashing the rom you want to use.
Don't think you can but I'm not 100% sure Idk what problems ur having but 2.2. Has been a beast for me
from the apple store loling

That's what I assumed. i just wanted to make sure before i screw something up.
@SporkMan, basically it seems slower, the battery life is awful and recently, i've noticed the phone itself is HOTTER. i carry it in a holster on my belt and this morning(while in court) i had it on airplane mode without GPS, wifi, etc on and it went from 85% battery to 42% batter in less then two hours and was hotter then it gets when i charge it off the wall adapter. i've NEVER gotten that bad of battery life. not even before i rooted it. thats just unacceptable.
plus, i haven't seen the talked-about speed gains in the applications, so it doesn't really provide me with anything new(correction, there is one thing i absolutely LOVE and that is the mass update in the Market. that just rules!)

maybe its the rom youre using. froyo battery life has been pretty much the same with me. try fresh or something!

you'll probably get a bunch of suggested roms to try, but my vote goes to BakedSnack and his Bkaed1 kernel. Hero tweaks the kernels to give killer battery - I've been raving about it ever since I switched over. I used to have to struggle to get over 13 hours battery - now I get over 20, without setcpu. You should nand and try it. If you don't like it, you can always nand back.

right! forgot he fixed that when he hit version 4 - I stopped using his kernel around 3.7ish when i went with Baked1. Sorry for the mis-info!
I would have to agree with the others. I use Fresh 3.1.0.1 and run Netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel, and my phone has never been faster, smoother, nor have I ever had better battery life as I do now. I took my phone off of the charger at 8:00 AM today, surfed the net, answered a few phone calls, did emails and messages for a total screen on time of about two hours so far. I also did 15 minutes of FM radio, and half hour of streaming Pandora on the way to work, and my battery is at 76% at 2:00 PM.
The other thing you might consider is that, it wouldn't surprise me if in a few months, aps compatible with the evo running 2.1 won't even show up for you in the market any more. I may be wrong, but something to consider.

thats a good point. i hadn't thought of that.
Okay, i'm sticking with 2.2. i have to learn all about Baked Snack and figure out how to properly implement it.
@mikevillarroel i didn't realize netarchy had released a new version! i'm still rocking one of the 3 versions. sweeet!!

Thanks! the part i'm MOST confused about is when i download the latest Baked Snack rom from that thread in development i only get a 318kb file. every other rom i've downloaded has been 125mb +. i don't really know what thats about
If you're talking about 1.2.5, the reason its so small is because its not a Rom. Check my link again. You have to wipe and flash 1.2 first, then 1.2.5 over that without wiping, unless you want the themed version (which I highly recommend) in which case you wipe, flash 1.2, then 1.2 themed without wiping, then 1.2.5 themed without wiping. It sounds like more of a pita than it is, and its worth it in the end.

Edit- looks like hero just posted a new 1.3, so ignore my steps above and just wipe (dont forget dalvic) and install the 1.3 full version.

is there any order that i should follow with a new Rom and kernel? i.e. kernel first then rom or vice versa?
Been running the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM by chingy51o for about 2 days now. I wanted to post a question on the thread for it but apparently since I don't have 10 post on XDA, I have no business posting in the Dev Forums since I have no experience, which I believe I have plenty.
Well anyways here is my question. The battery life is terrible, is there a fix or one in the works? I was giving it time to settle in but after 2 days I still loose 30% in an hour.
The ROM was installed properly using recovery (I have plenty of experience), wiped and all. The ROM is SICK an I want to keep it.
Any fixes or suggestions would be awesome.
Try a different kernel.

His work includes a custom kernel, Lou's #8, so he's already replaced the stock kernel with a different one. Flashing a different kernel is okay to do, especially if you are getting bad battery life. I've run Lou's kernels, they work great with some ROM's, not so much with others. It is responsible for servicing requests from applications and managing resources basically, like the CPU and battery.
Trying a new kernel is not going to ruin the ROM as a whole, like the icons and stuff, so that's why I recommend trying a new kernel. Chingy may switch it at some point if things work better overall, and since you can download Lou's kernels, you can just flash his #8 back to get the ROM back to "default" so to speak.
I use Chad's and Ziggy's because I've gotten the best battery life with those on EVO based ROM's. Give it a shot, if it doesn't make a noticeable difference, flash another, and if nothing makes a difference, maybe try another ROM just to see what kind of battery life that would yield.

His ROM included Lou's #8. I tried A Ziggy and no luck, still had terrible battery. I then tried Lou's #9 and i would swear my battery has preformed 3 times better. I didn't think there was that big a difference between the two.

Yes, I wiped every thing before I installed. I always do.
i have been reading silently through many of the discussions, and im not even gonna say im an expet or anything like that. i have done a few things and am getting used to doing this kinda stuff.... exactly how do u flash a new kernal? ( just a question) so go easy.
That's weird. On a stock build (using the kernel that came with it), I'm getting around 30 hrs on a 1500mah battery. (This is with light to medium usage)
Do you have setcpu installed?
Check your battery report, and check to see if 'Display' has been turning off correctly. I've seen a few roms where something got wonky with either Facebook sync, or exchange preventing the screen from turning off for any length of time. ('Time On' should be much lower than 'Time since unplugged')
I just flashed a boot animation from the rom updater in blu kuban and my battery icon went from 50% to 20% after reboot, any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?

This is a very well known and persistent Samsung bug that is the same across the board no matter what rom you're running
sent from my SGS2 running AOKP, eh...
You can wipe the battery stats using the script in the updater after a couple full charges you woes should be gone. It comes in handy if you flash a lot. Check the kuban updater scripts, download scripts then choose the battery one.

Ok, I will try to explain this best I can. While going through the framework and system on TW ICS I've noticed that there is a set of battery percentages. The cpu will monitor on a 1% by %. But the xmls and images correlate together with the system ui in a specific set unless otherwise altered. The battery percentages seem to be set as follows: 100,93,85,79,63,58,35,20,15,10,5,0. It may not be those exactly, but you get the drift. When flashing you can plug up and although it may not show its charging, it does. If you don't charge it can be hard on the system battery depending on what you are flashing or restoring. Because the system ui is setup with these "presests" it can "jump from one percent to the next. I've also noticed while testing that if I go from a alpha bare bones rom to my stable back up that the battery may jump up. I tend to agree that it is a bug in the coding on ICS, and wouldn't worry too much about it.

Those are just the levels where the battery icon in the status bar change. After a ROM flash it is not uncommon to have the battery report inaccurately for the first couple drain/charge cycles. Usual fix is to fully charge, reboot phone, plug in until fully charged a 2nd time (will take a few more minutes). Looking at XML's and image files is not the same as looking at the source code...
Edit: I'm not trying to bash anyone here, I just want to make sure misinformation doesn't get started and then pretty soon everyone is repeating this stuff. Just like what happened with the whole "battery stats" incident.
I totally agree with you,just happened out of the blue so I figured I would get advice and you have provided that again I thank you. The mods can't delete this at anytime.

Entropy512 has posted often on this subject. Here's one I found via Google ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22917725&postcount=3
Calibration does nothing on our device - the fuel gauge is designed so that it will always converge towards truth instead of diverging. Also, the "wipe battery stats" method of "calibration" has been proven to do NOTHING on ANY device whatsoever - https://plus.google.com/105051985738...ts/FV3LVtdVxPT - The "charge battery to full" and "discharge/recharge" battery are valid tactics on some devices, but NOT any Galaxy S or S II device (maybe the ****rocket and T989, but not the I9100 or I777.) - There's a slight chance this may change with ICS on the I9100/I777 but not likely.
The advantage of this is that it never needs funky calibration cycles other than "just wait"
The disadvantage is that the gauge will get thrown off in a few limited corner cases - and the "two" issues described are one widely documented one. The gauge gets confused and falseley reports low by heavily battery load immediately following a reset, and takes a few hours to converge back to normality (during which the estimate creeps upward, because it was lower than reality initially).

In a nutshell, what you are observing is the way the maxim fuel gauge IC in the SGSII line of devices "calibrates" the battery. Resets (reboots) can throw the gauge off.

Agreed. I was merely starting this is the first thing the user sees. I also agree it is inaccurate. I'm not saying that this is "why", just that thus us what I've noticed and that like you said after a few charging cycles it should correct itself so its (not something to worry about). I also encourage any user that is curious to read what entropy has on the subject.
My phone has done this one time where after jumping downwards by a significant amount it actually crept back UP. I joked to my wife that my latest flash added the ability to have the phone charge itself when the battery is low.
So here's my story...
I hated the new ICS official update that sprint rolled out because of my diminishing battery life. So i decided to finally root the phone and install some roms. Everything went well for the past week but now my phone screen flickers and then my phone shuts off when i still have around 80% battery life left. I try to turn it back on and it loads up the boot screen but sometimes it fully loads the phone and sometimes it doesn't. When it does load ... my battery life is chopped to like 20% or maybe 5%. I calibrated my battery after the flash like someone told me to do but it still didn't work. I thought it was the rom i was using but I flashed 3 different roms and I still have the same problem.
I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my battery or my power on my phone? When the phone is charging it doesn't flicker and shut down on me.
Did anybody else have this problem? Is this considered a SOD? Wondering if I should get a new battery and see if it works. Also... is your battery flat? Mine seems to be a curved a bit in the middle back and front and i don't remember it being like that.
THANKS FOR THE HELP PEOPLE!!!! I really need it
Spin the battery on a flat surface and if it continues to spin, its bad. From your description of the back if battery, it sounds bad. Take it to a sprint store and get a replacement.

This is just the effects of ICS. Go to to your sprint store , they should replace it free. Consider a custom Rom to remedy the issue.

Did anybody else have this problem? Is this considered a SOD? Wondering if I should get a new battery and see if it works. Also... is your battery flat? Mine seems to be a curved a bit in the middle back and front and i don't remember it being like that.
THANKS FOR THE HELP PEOPLE!!!! I really need it

It happened on every rom i flashed.. but this is what i'm on now.
Rom version Blazer FF18
kernel version 3.0.15-sph-d710.ff18-cl663858
Baseband version FH13
I am trying to underclock the phone now and see if it solves any problems till I get a new battery. Realized that while the phone is plugged in... it doesn't flicker and shut down on me. So maybe if i lower the power consumption, it'll work. But it's just an idea I came up with.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

Your experiencing a condition that's clearly battery related, while phone is plugged in it clearly shows that the problem is the battery. Making changes and undervolting may just complicate things, I would wait for a new battery before going any further.
You need a proven rom to start with, ask around and see what works for others and give yourself a fresh start. I would recommend going back to stock gingerbread el29,and trying it out for a week or so, then go from there.

Will do. Just ordered a battery. Hopefully it is a battery issue because I am not due for an upgrade yet. Thanks a lot for your advice!
It's the battery, I have the same issues right now and if I use a different battery they instantly disappear.
And you're right about lowering the power consumption, for me it only happened with 4G enabled together with the capacitive LEDs. Disabling one or the other made it go away.

I'm running The People's ROM and I love it but I;m not getting very good battery life. I've tried undervolting, underclocking, I even went back to the stock kernel. Nothing has worked. I saw Kenny's post to change folder qosmgr to qosmgr.bac but it was already done. Can anyone help? I love this ROM but if I can't get better battery life I will change to something else.
Download better battery stats and post screenshots of your kernel wakelocks, partial wakelocks and alarms so we can better assess your battery drain

I've installed better battery stats. Should I charge to a full charge and let it run down some and then get the screenshots?
Questions go in Q&A

Have you turned data off or put into Airplane mode to determine if you have a signal/sync issue?
Is MEDIA high in your battery stats?
Everything already mentioned it could be many things. First is a screen shot of your battery stats on the device and a screen shot of on screen time.
1. Are you syncing anything?
2. Are you mostly on wifi? 3g?or LTE?
3. Do you use Facebook app?
4. What kernel? Any tweaks?
5. What governor?
6. What scheduler?
Let's start with this and we will get you going in the right direction.

Data is turned on and when I put it in airplane mode I don't seem to have problems there. MEDIA is not high on the battery stats, it's always ANDROID OS. I can fully charge at night and unplug the charger and not touch it until morning (about 8 hours) and the battery will be at about 92%.

I have auto sync on, I am mostly on wifi, I don't use Facebook, at first I had Ktoonsez kernel undervolted and now I'm using stock kernel, I never changed the governor or scheduler so it was on whatever it was installed with

That's actually not horrible, but could be better, sounds like you have apps/syncs waking your device regularly, get a screenshot of better battery stats wakelocks do we can help you figure it out.. you don't have to charge fully, just plug it in once and unplug it so it starts recording your stats

After reading your reply I have turned auto sync and data off, maybe that's all it is, hopefully. I really want to keep this ROM, I like it way more than any I have found

Will do. Thanks everyone for being so helpful and responding so fast. I'm a noob and just figured everything out by myself so far using the internet. I rooted a couple of months ago and ran stock rooted for about a month and then started checking out custom ROMS. I haven't had many problems although I did get in a bootloop at one time and fixed it without problem. I figured fixing my battery draining issue would be much easier this way and I was right thanks to people like you guys that ROCK!

Good to know you're trying things out for yourself. Many users come onto the threads before even doing some research expecting to just have the answers handed to them on a silver platter lol

Ok, I've charged my phone to a full charge over an hour ago and I've been using it a bit here and there and it seems I can already tell a difference. I left data on but turned sync off. I'm really thinking the auto sync was my problem since I wasn't leaving Wi-Fi and it was still draining to fast. I was losing about 8% over night with no use at all so I will know better in the morning. Regardless I will post some screenshots of my results sometime tomorrow.

Hmm, you may wanna go into the team kernelizers thread and do the file renaming listed in the OP as well
I'll check it out now(if I can find it), thanks
