Battery data - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi all....first up, I can't find a Q & A section in the gal W forum....so I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this.....
I've read elsewhere about people clearing battery data when installing a custom ROM. Having recently installed CM9 (in preference to stock GB) should I have done this...or would the wipe and install have taken care of it.....does this need to be done when flashing new alphas (in my case I went from CM9 alpha 7 to alpha 8). Will it cause problems if it's not done, and on the flip side, what are the benefits of doing it?....
Thanks in advance.....Keith

Not on every alpha. Clearing battery data is needed everytime we flash another rom. This is needed for our battery to show the battery calculation to be more precise and accurate. IMO. Correct me if i'm wrong

ParanoidAndroid Port/Darkside Venom4

Since I can't post in thread because of requirements ill post here. Tried DSV04 #1&2 for ParanoidAndroid Hercules port, stays stuck @ Paranoid. Did wipe for both and waited over 10min. Just in case anyone was wondering if it worked since its CM9 based and yes I know it was only tested on a nightly which he stated in the OP, just testing in case others wanted to know. BTW Thanks for the Kernels, and Roms. Your Contributions to the community are always appreciated.

Follow these steps and you can never go wrong
I'm guessing you guys got it to work on your devices?. That is If you guys are posting the most obvious steps. I did all required steps in OP before flashing or posting this thread just posting my findings, Figured it just didn't play well with my hardware and seeing if anyone else got it to play nice with Paranoid since its been a Stable Rom, was looking for a bit more juice that's it..

DSV4 Kernel #3 works with it but borks camera, constant force close issues any suggestions? Running paranoid with the kernel on badass +cpu sleeper+underclocked to 1080 is giving me awesome life. For what I do on my phone at least.

Have you tried running it on the Skyrocket version? I believe the DSV04 was made for a newer version CM9 than what the Starskyrob version of PA. I heard that skyrocket pa + DSV04 + rotation fix = $$$
Nandroid and try it out.
That's been on my mind lately since the skyrockets is more up to date but I like to keep things simple. Ima give it a go though and see how it compares.

Telus,Roms,Kernels - Educate me please

I have recently Flashed Darksides Telus's 4.0.3 Rom on my T989. So far i have been satisfied but i am trying to understand a couple of things.
First i have read that Most people will use the Touchwiz roms for WIFI calling and it seems to be pretty much the only advantage of it. I currently do not use this feature.
I also read that most people that are not using it use CM9 rom's ? What is the reason of it ? But i am not sure if i can do this since i'm on Telus (In Canada, Quebec) ? If so wich one should i use. ?
I also downloaded Darksides #6 Kernel. I think the base of is Telus TW is #2 ? What will switching to #6 do exactly ? I think it will give me the option to overclock but beside that ? Does flashing the Kernel Wipe my "desktop" on the phone (will i have to setup all my apps and stuff again)
Also, i use Apex launcher on top this as default since the base ICS is kinda boring.
thank you for your time
When you're flashing a kernel all you is whip cache and dalvik cache (the dark side kernel does this by default though). This means that you're desktop will not change because you're apps and data aren't touched. The only thing that will be changed is that the first boot will take longer but that's why you charge you're battery.

CM10 from rooted stock questions

I've been looking for answers but can't find info, I apologize if these are redundant
1. If I update to cm10 either task rom or cyanogen rom and kernel... I assume I can just revert to cwm backup without worry of losing imei ?
2. Once I update to cm10 / kernel... when there are NEW UPDATES can I just flash the updates without losing data/apps and having to reinstall or will I have to redo Config/apps/settings/data after each update??
3. Are the cm10 roms reliable and stable enough to be used as daily driver? I'm sick of stock battery life and SERIOUS LAG from touchwiz
4. How does the task cm10 rom compare to task ics rom? I tried the task ics rom but honestly found it too buggy for my liking...is the jb rooms more stable since more work has been put I to it??
Thanks alot!!!! I appreciate it!

1. You know what happens when you ass-u-me? There is always a risk.
2. You do not have to wipe data. Just cache and then fix permissions. Your settings will still be there. Unless the developer says you need a full wipe that is.
3, 4. Idk about CM10, I prefer Tasks JB AOKP. The ICS ROMS were abandoned because JB was released. I use it as a daily driver and the only issue I have is slight screen flickering which is fixed by disabling HW overlays.
Lastly, only bump your thread after 24 hours.

You don't lose CWM, nor update modem. There is no IMEI loss. You'd need full data wipe.
2. Once I update to cm10 / kernel... when there are NEW UPDATES can I just flash the updates without losing data/apps and having to reinstall or will I have to redo Config/apps/settings/data after each update??
You will need to flash update and gapps each time. No data wipe needed.
3. Are the cm10 roms reliable and stable enough to be used as daily driver? I'm sick of stock battery life and SERIOUS LAG from touchwiz
No. I use CM9. I also have enriched CM9 ROM - Nostalgia 8.
4. How does the task cm10 rom compare to task ics rom? I tried the task ics rom but honestly found it too buggy for my liking...is the jb rooms more stable since more work has been put I to it??
AOKP in both versions was extremely buggy for me. Plus task is rough individual and getting support is nearly impossible.
SlimJB holds the hope, but it is still somewhat buggy. Try SlimJB or CM9 - they were least problematic.

[Q] CM 10 (fxp 152) and Data Connection

Hi Guys, as most people who post for the 1st time, I'm posting with a question
Also, I was planning on posting this on the Android Development forum (with the thread dedicated to CM10) but it requires at least 10 posts
Anywho, onto the thread title;
I have an Xperia S (LT26i) which i just recently unlocked,rooted and installed CM10 into, and I have been using it happily for a full week mostly stable (Any.Do and Instagram has graphical glitches but no biggie for me.), the only concern I have is that Mobile Data doesnt seem to work, even if users have reported it to be working.
I am thinking this *might* have something to do with the kernel (i havent touched that yet), did a little research and it seems to be a lot more complicated that just flashing a rom.
What do you guys think? Is it just a quirk with the current version of CM10, or do I have to use another kernel (which i have no idea how to do, or where to start.)
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem and reflashing the Rom and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache again seemed to solve it. Maybe you can try that.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I read the instructions carefully and I was 100% sure that I did that, as a matter of fact I have tried reflashing at least 2 times earlier today wiping everything before and after flashing.. but still no go
What about flashing a newer build? Fxp 203 is available .
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
The latest release has got this bug fixed
Sent from my elegant Xperia™ Ion
Sorry for being a total n00b, but I was actually kind of iffy on the idea of moving to fxp 20x, i was under the impression that it was just a newer version of JB that might have more bugs than fixes compared to fpx 15x. So in simple terms its actually all around better?
* also, one more question. when upgrading from fxp 152 -> fxp 203, do i need to wipe everything and then reflash? or is there a more straightforward way of upgrading?

You don't need roms for that, you need kernels try Franco's kernel. Cynogen is the most stable and bug free ROM out there.

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
Get the latest version from here and be sure to select the correct device or you know..... Brick etc...
You can find many kernels on the development section of your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development this is for maguro
You can use others but I prefer using Franco kernel as it is very easy to flash (you can download it's app from play store just type Franco kernels and download it. You can use auto flash option from it)
Remember these things are very tricky,it can make your device unusable if you install it incorrectly so..... Take care
And yeah nightlies are official so you better get them from their website as they are fully tested and it is less likely to go anything wrong with them

I know that people generally stick to Cyanogenmod due to it's stability, but I think it is overrated due to the fact that they support so many devices. I would prefer ROMs where the devs actually have the device, and focus on the device since they plan to have it for a while.
With that being said, here is my favorite ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnimetal-linaro-omni-rom-t2550477
I haven't had any issues (like apps that force close) on it, and apps run fine. In fact, I have also switched to ART and it is pretty stable and blazingly fast. My test was its battery life, and it lasted me close to 7 days on standby with groove ip running on it (receiving calls, texts, etc.), and 2 days with active usage with a sim card.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for atleast reply and suggesting me some ROM which is i ever try.. but now i am little confused, for selecting ROM, I made my mind as per last reply ROM from CM11 Nightly and Kernel From Franco but now OMNI i need to learn about that too.
Can anyone have suggestion on that or give me little more light on ROM.
Thanks
Its good to have choices
If you are new to flashing ROMs, usually CM 11 is an excellent choice.
However, to me speed, low RAM consumption and good battery life matters, so here are the reasons why I chose that ROM:
1. Linaro toolchain - Here is a link to explain why it is faster than standard CM:
http://www.androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831/
2. Dirty_V kernel - For speed, most of us Nexus users feel it is the best. It is an improvement over Franco's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-t2613655
So, I usually choose a ROM which uses the linaro toolchain. I also got a ton of cool features like notifications, omniswitch, etc. which you can read about in the ROM link from my previous post.
In the end, I am just giving you suggestions. Why don't you try creating a nandroid backup and then flashing many ROMs to see which one you like? Using the nandroid backup, you could always come back to the tried and trusted CM 11 !
Here is a small intro to nandroid backups which may be useful even in the future in case you mess up your phone with a bad update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/NANDroid
Hope this helps! :good:
I'm switch between 2 Roms.
Remix
Vanir
Bothe stable and fast.
CU
Litening
Thanks really ! I'll definatly read and try on of that, but first I'll take nandroid backup and learn how to restore etc.
CM11 is good but some time its response very lately specially when charging.

You might want to try omnirom (google for omnirom download, you want the maguro version).
They push daily updates (I install updates every 1-3 weeks). They closely track AOSP (meaning a new AOSP will be made available ASAP). It's a very stable rom and I'm running it my nexus 4 and a modified version on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been incredibly stable and reliable so far. Oh, and its 4.4.2
No try omnimetal! No try vanir! No try liquidsmooth! No try Xenonhd!. So you need to test everything. These threads are useless and not allowed. Choose one you like. Every rom is stable unless specified otherwise..

Pick the one from the omnirom.org download page. All others are remixes - cool stuff you can get in this forum, but not the most stable experience.
