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!)

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.

pretty sure it's broken in all modded kernels. Are you really one of the few that use/need hdmi? I'm curious - what do you use it for?

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.

And just because I gotta say it (I think its a law), that info was mentioned many times in the BS thread.
Good luck!
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.

Its all good man. Did you wipe dalvik/battery stats, have you set your sync schedules to the longest intervals? Screen brightness, gps, bluetooth off, etc?

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')
Well after doing TONS of reading, soul searching, and complaining about this under performing phone, I have decided to flash my first rom ever. I don't know if I am just tired of TW or maybe that what the problem is after all . I guess I will soon find out. Battery is charged to 92% and can't wait! BTW I will be flashing XTREMEPERIA V5 . I love the look of this particular rom and it seems to function well. I'm just tired of the same look day in and day out of my phone and need something different.
Flash a cm 9 rom u can change the theme and over all the first experience is simple

Good to know. I'm glad I made a good choice.I have had a few android devices, nothing like some people. I thought this phone would be the answer, but with it randomly rebooting and freezing all the time, I'm just fed up. If this experiment works, I'm stoked, if not, then I may be off to WP8 and a Lumia 920 or HTC 8x.
I would recommend CM9 or AOKP ICS, but that's mainly because I'm an AOSP nut. I've heard good things about the Xperia rom but to me it just doesn't have that clean AOSP look that I love (and wish I had bought a GNex for!)
I would suggest an AOSP ROM!
CM9.1 Stable - awesome ROM. Better battery life than CM9. Major plus over TW based ROMs is the theme chooser.
CM10 - not really DD material as many people have mixed results from phone to phone. Prone to have Sleep of Deaths and Random Reboots. Aside from the bugs, it's the fastest and snappiest ROM available (in my experience).
CM10 Superlite - the latest version (4.0) is based off a pretty stable build. Once you tune it right and break it in, it's FAST! Lots of features/bloat that I never really used were taken out... some that I did use though, but I can live without em (Browser sync is the only one really, well that and Picasa but I think that could be added DLing Google+, but not sure as it may be missing some dependencies).
Jedi Mind Trick - the BEST TW based ROM out in my opinion. Can't speak much on V9 yet since I have yet to flash it, but V6-V8 were all excellent. If you don't want to go the AOSP route and prefer faster data speeds (aside from decent battery life, this is probably AOSPs biggest flaw, slow data), then this is the way to go imho! I think it also has better battery life than all AOSP ROMs (CM9/10/AOKP).
And that's it. I've tried other ROMs but these ones all ran the best for me. I also want to check out Eugene's Vanilla ICS, but waiting on him to upload the newest version before giving it a try . Apparently he fixed the data issues that plague all AOSP ROMs. Anyway, good luck! We have quite the selection at our disposal.
AOKP ICS Milestone 6 July 15. Plus I added Google Now with a separate zip.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will certainly keep them in mind. I flashed XTREMEPERIA v5 last night and it all works flawlessly. I was in the mood for something different and that rom certainly is different.

The first phone I ever rooted was a MyTouch 3g. Man I hated that phone also. I'm really enjoying XTREMEPERIA rom. Just about everything works with the exception of not receiving email notification and an auto rotate bug. The auto rotate I fixed by fixing permissions. I'm still working on the email. This can certainly get addictive with all the new roms coming out recently, so happy flashing.

Stock ICS is the best. I tried almost all ROMs. Battery life is best in Stock ICS. UI is imp but kills battery.

The MyTouch 4G was and still is a great phone, I had a DD jellybean rom, only problem was camera was twitchy and no video recording but I never use it. I switched to the GS2 because my friend upgraded to the GS3 and gave me his gs2. I'm really liking the bigger screen lol.
I'm using a modified Jedi rom. Battery life and speed are way way improved over stock ics. I tried custom visuals, but they killed the battery. So no more of these. Go launcher eats battery.

I have to agree with Steve about GoLauncher. I used to love Theme'ing my s2 with all kinds of designs, but after I found out about how much RAM it uses I just got rid of it completely. I love having more battery life than performance, especially when it comes to large touchscreen phones such as the s2.
When I flashed my first rom I think I bricked my phone, lol. Even after all the reading I did, there was just too much information that I read up on, and I think that actually confused me as to exactly how I should go about rooting and flashing my first rom.
In the end it turned out all right, and now I use the latest Jedi Knight rom from ptmr3. I found that this one gives me the minimalistic theme that I've always wanted and the essential apps that don't take up a lot of memory.
Hey guys, im new to the forum and im almost certain im gonna post this in the wrong spot but still, i really need help so i figured with such a nice community ill get help with whatever wherever.
Okay, so as most here, im on a custom ROM and KERNEL. Theres 2 reasons i did this. 1) battery life for me was horrible on TW! So i flashed CM10(Stable build) and multiple kernels such as, Trinity, LK and KT747. I found i had found better battery life on LK than stock but the best out of them all was KT747. But i discovered a little problem using KT747. If i was scrolling through my tumblr or twitter, as im scrolling down the screen jumps back down by itself. The same would happen while switching home screens, i would go left twice then it would jump back right once. As you can tell that got REALLY annoying REALLY fast, so i had to switch back to LK. I want to use KT747 again so i can get that amazing battery life, so can someone tell me if it was just maybe a minor problem in the build? Should i download the newest build and try again? Im almost certain that its not because of a bad flash seeing as i flashed it 4 times to see if it resolved the problem.
Any advice would be most helpful.
Thank you!:fingers-crossed:
Oh yea, my phone was on a hard brick and i had to get it repaired so im being super careful with what i flash as of now, so can someone tell again, when i want to switch kernels, do i wipe cache and dalvik or wipe or do anything for that matter? Thank you!

Most people would agree to wipe cache/dalvik and flash away. And most people on twiz stock have great battery life. As for that issue you posted maybe ask in his thread if anyone has experienced this issue. Its a solid kernel but their are a few people with devices that just don't like certain kernels unfortunately
I personally would redownload the kernel of choice and just flash it. KT is known for battery life
Edit also check within your etc/initd file within root explorer and make sure lk doesn't leave a script behind and if it does just delete it before flashing KT.

Hey, thanks for the info. I know KT is known for battery life thats why i really want, actually, need find out why its behaving this way. As of now, i did what you told me and re-flashed KT and the problem still persists. I guess ill go through the KT thread and see if anyone else has had this problem, if not, ill try to contact the dev myself and see if he can help me. Right now, I'm running LK 1.9exp for tmo. Battery on this so far seems to be better than the old LK i had, so if i can't fix the KT problem i guess ill stick with this build of LK.
Thank you!:good:
Hey guys, i gave KT one last flash and this time its working beautifully!:victory: I have no idea what i did or maybe the kernel was pmsing previously, but its working perfectly and i havent come across any problems so far, so fingers crossed ! :laugh::fingers-crossed: just incase KT decides to act up again, im keeping LK 1.9exp tmo, on my phone for a quick flash, because i was getting pretty reasonable battery stats and screen on time with that. Im just so happy KT is working once more, hopefully nothing goes wrong this time and i can go back to the close to 21+ hours of battery with 3+ hours of screen time!
Thanks once more guys!:good::laugh:
Hello all, I am looking for a touchwiz rom that has full capability and has great battery life. I have tried synergy, but it doesn't play nice with the AT&T S3 for me. What are some other ones that you guys recommend? Thanks.
No one can determine the best ROM for you as we all have different needs for our phones. Additionally, each phone may react to every ROM differently. My advice would be to try out as many as you can.
This link can be a good place to start researching.

Ya you're right. But I'm just asking what people prefer. I'm looking for one that runs like stock, maybe some mods here and there, with performance increases/better battery life.

The link I provided should be a good point of reference for gauging people's thoughts on ROMs. Reading and trying them yourself is honestly the only way to know.
try roms is all you can do. personally I like wicked v8. I give roms a one strike and youre out rule. if one thing doesnt work good enough for my needs its gone. I wanted to like synergy but it gave me a few issues. maybe I will wait a month or two and see what else comes. ive had great success with wicked and devils reject roms. I have friends using intergalactic and it also seems good for them. my battery life is better than ever on wicked but of course it all comes down to usage and tuning. most important to choose a rom that works.
I like CSROM. The battery life is great and you have good aroma install options for things like aosp messaging and email. It has good mods like tethering, toggles, etc. Also very good support from the Dev and others in the development thread.
I was looking for same thing dude actually I'm still looking.I have been try Synergy and CSROM but they are not what exactly I want . Synergy has really cool staff but they got a lot of issues with SGH-i747 simultaneously. I was trying to install Synergy rom it took my 3-4 hours beacuse I couldn't fix every problem with Snynergy after than I found a fixing uptade file and a kernel it started work okey but it still had bugs. I just decided to try another.
Now I'm using CSROM they don't have a lot of cool thing like synergy . They have some diffrent touchwizz from Sony and Motorola.They have multiwinow but my battery is working sucks . I have 2 battary but I have to get charge 2 times in a day it's mean 4 charge for a single battery.I'm not sure about all this things I'm just saying my experiance. Maybe I could do something wrong but they are my opinion try anotherone except those ::highfive:
Make a nandroid of stock and your IMEI, then flash and try them all !
Devils reject and csrom are my favorites as far as twiz roms

Dude I'm using CDROM to but I'm not happy with my battery life stock was better than it. What settings can you prefer? I thing I'm doing something wrong because people says battery life is fine with CSROM.
Let me know about what should set up. Thanks

Every phone is different. Every user is different. While a rom may work great on one person's phone it may be the opposite for yours...even with the exact same specs and hardware. The opposite can be true for other roms. And the way you use the phone differs as well. There is no "....is the best rom.". If you are not happy with the current ROM, then try another.
I'll give you three of the best IMHO that I've used extensively.
#1 Xtremperia by Jovy23
#2 Darthstalker X1 by Jovy23
#3 Deadly Venom 3.0 by Venom
All three are bug free and extremely stable with excellent battery life. I use the Ziggy kernel with all three.
At this point I'm running Hyperdrive multiview w/ Ziggy and I have Synergy w/Ziggy as my back up.
Yes they both have minor bugs but are easily fixable.
That being said the VERY first thing I would and this comes from an expensive lesson I learned BACK UP YOUR IMEI FIRST!!!! If I've helped please hit the thanks button and happy flashing.

The other reply covered it pretty good as it's different for everyone. I see a lot of people posting about battery life and I would suggest the following. Charge your battery to 100% before you go to bed. Take it off the charger and then just let it sit overnight. When you get up, check the battery stats and see if it goes into deep sleep, meaning it wasn't awake when the screen was off during the night. If you see more than a few times where it was awake, you probably have wakelock issues. If so, use Better Battery Stats to find out what's going on. Sometimes its the media scanner hanging up on a pic or vid that isn't playing nice, sometimes it's something else.
I have my mail synced 24/7 as well as contacts and calendar. I play games for about 10 minutes a clip throughout the day and browse xda and google news and I get about 20 hours with 2-3 hours screen on time.

I am new to Rom flashing. Been experimenting with the AOSP and AOKP Roms but keep coming back to TouchWiz based Roms...Currently I am running Stockorama V2...Has a Aroma installer and tons of options...Still minimalistic in size...I completely wiped the stock Rom off my phone and now running Stockorama I have 10GB free space in my internal memory VS the 5GB I had with the factory Rom...Best part is you get to pick and choose the features you want as you install...One important feature to me is SmartStay and happy to say it's installed in this Rom...Here is the link give it a whirl and let them know what you think...

Just report the thread and a mod will close it. Plus this thread was over a month old. Who ever decided to have their input just bumped it to the top of Q&A and the whole progress starts again.
Next time a thread like this pops up just report it.

I'm just going to say..I'm not the one that bumped it..the only reason I saw it was because someone right before me replied to it. But I Dont have a problem with these threads...I just Dont like how mods can go overboard on it sometimes..but I'm done here...I Dont want any trouble.. Bye!
