Kernels

I been rooted for about a month now and love it, glad i did it and would never go back. i have the wireless tethering, Hulu and i pretty much seen every custom rom out their possible and have found that Myn Warm is obviously the best one out their and i know plenty would agree.
One thing i haven't gotten around to is Kernels. i'm running the custom kernel that came with this rom and i don't really see a difference in my baterry life, my battery dies just as much if i am using it as it is when its on stand by. (Carrying around a spare battery with me wherever i go is getting embarrassing )
I want to know everything there is to know about kernels possible in this thread so all the bright minds of AC please put your input here and even suggest your own if you'd like.
What i'm really trying to find out is
. What is a kernel and what does it mainly do
. How much voltage can a Evo take so i can find out what kernel fits best
. How do i install a kernel? is it same as flashing a custom Rom? and do you need to Wipe everything as you would a rom
. How long until you can tell if a Kernel is actually working
Thanks in advance

This link is your best friend I promise.

Also battery life is a tough question to answer man it's all about how one uses their phone. Personally I just discovered this little trick; if you turn this off your battery life will double or triple!

Turning off mobile data will just cut off apps from using data(twitter, Facebook, etc). I just turn it on when I need it. You'll still receive calls and text but man I've tripled my battery life. P.S nice avatar.
You install a kernel the same way you do a rom; go into recovery and flash zip. Usually the kernel has built in scripts to wipe dalvik, cache, and etc. Also flashing a kernel will not wipe your rom and its a very easy and safe process. To check if its installed, go to settings, then phone information it should show you the installed kernel. I usually give a kernel about a day or two to check/compare performance/battery. Good luck

terrific thanks, couldn't of put it any better for me.

Turning off mobile data puts the "data" to sleep so you cant browse the web. But when you find yourself not using the phone turn it(the mobile data) off and I promise your battery will last a long time. When its on your phones radio is constantly being used which of course kills the battery. Its just a tip man you don't have to turn it off. I'm usually always around wifi so I turn it off; if I'm not by wifi I turn it on when I need it. I figured this out like a week ago and done many test to convince myself I wasn't crazy. I went from 10hrs moderate use to about 31hrs moderate use(regular battery).

i love the idea, im around wifi 90% of my life and im going to start trying that, i was wondering if there was a way to not let apps run in the background but only when i use it, guess this is what it comes to.
But still when i'm not at home or work i'm still going to have a battery issue, when i get around to that thread you posted hopefully i find the right kernel to help me out on the road

I could suggest some kernels for bettery battery life; that link also has some really helpful information. What rom are you running? I like to run sbc kernels to give my battery that "complete charge" lol. Check out this pic to prove I wasn't crazy. I pulled the phone off the charger 15hrs ago, battery still with 52% left. I got another 15 hours out of it by turning it off(mobile data). I'm also around wifi alot myself. Using wifi doesn't drain the battery not even half as fast as mobile data.

Ahhh excellent choice. Myns 2.2 and koni's elite are my favorite sense roms. Well my battery stats looks different because I'm running a different rom. I always switch back and forth between sense and aosp. Same things I've said apply both both by the way; I've tested on sense and aosp. In sense I believe you go to settings, then about phone, and then it should say battery stats. On aosp it looks this way.
~ d3rk

yeah i got it dude thanks alot for the help.
i can't seem to use any other rom, in my opinion nothing is going to compete with Myn's roms anytime soon. this guy is a guru when it comes to these things and i can't wait for a new update on warm 2.2
Can you post KONI Elite, im pretty sure i have seen every theme out their but can't bring to mind which one that is

Word. Yeah myns 2.2 was flawless to me. I'd rate koni's right behind it; koni is more into theming and his roms are sick. The two rocks are probably neck and neck I don't know which I like more. I guess if I had to pick I'd roll with myn.

Myns i love you, but i think i gotta try this out lol

dirkyd3rk, from post #5, I can see that you're using cm7 (or some variation of GB). In 2.2 sense, we had the option - enable mobile data always on under network settings. This permitted the 3g data to remain on even when the phone was in sleep mode. If this was turned off, 5 minutes after the screen turned off, so did the mobile data. I don't see an equivalent option in cm7. It's either always on, or always off. Of course, depending on your particular setup, one option may be preferable over the other.
In the case of the OP, this may actually be useful. Mobile data would be on any time the screen is on, without any further user action. When the device is sleeping, so is the data (after 5 min).
Now to the OP, be aware that having this option set that way, anything push related will not work. Finally, i'm unsure if other tasks such as weather updates will still work correctly when the screen is off.
If there is no way to enable this functionality in a GB rom, and you want this capability, your only recourse is to use a froyo based rom.

[Q] Android OS and wlan battery usage on FH13

Running unrooted stock FH13 I'm getting a high percentage of my battery being used up by Android OS when the phone is idling. From what I've gathered this seems to be a pretty common problem with the two official ICS builds, but I'm wondering if anyone has any solutions that doesn't involve reverting to GB or rooting my device. Better Battery Stats typically tells me that the culprit is a wlan kernal wake lock, and sometimes is deleted wake lock (which if I understand correctly could be the same culprit as the wlan_wake lock). So it would seem that Wi-Fi is what's killing me, but I've not had any better battery life when I run 3g all day either. I did a factory reset after upgrading to FF18, but I didn't do it again after upgrading to FH13. Any suggestions?
Also, does anyone know if FI03 has the same issue?

This is xda, why are you here if you don't want to root your device?
Honestly if you root it and get rid of the stock apps and bloat that runs in the background you will get better battery life. The first thing I do on official ics is delete the Sprint and Samsung apps like Sprint zone, media hub, social hub, and extra widgets like accuweather and dual clock.
There are guides everywhere for battery life improvement. Also turn off wifi when your not using it.

I appreciate the advice. I knew about that option already though. The reason I don't want to root is because aside from this one issue I'm fine with the stock experience, and I honestly just don't have the time to try different builds and tweak things enough to get the most out of a rooted experience. As far as why I'm on xda, there are plenty of unrooted leaks on this forum too so I can't be the only one who doesn't want to root for whatever reason. For general battery improvement, I've looked and I haven't found anything useful aside from either disabling some apps from starting up or accessing the internet at certain times, which would require rooting, or turning off data/wi-fi (which in my opinion defeats many of the purposes of my phone).
I am well aware that turning certain things off or removing certain apps, even those that would require rooting, would help my battery, but my point is that I didn't do any of those things on GB and my battery life was still perfectly fine. My current understanding of the situation is that this is just what the official FH13 ICS rom on the E4GT does and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that someone might have some advice, but if that's really the case feel free to confirm my suspicion as well.

Only thing that comes to mind is - after you reset, did you go right back and install all your apps before testing for battery drain?
Did you try turning off auto sync?

Yes, I did just reinstall all of them immediately. I know that it would have been better to put them back on slowly in order to pinpoint an app that may be causing a problem, but that would have taken a lot of time and I didn't think it'd be worth it. Also, right now better battery stats doesn't show any of my apps holding a wake lock for long and I thought it would show up there if it was one of my installed apps causing the problem. Is that not how it works? Because I'm considering factory resetting again when I get the chance, so if it still could be one of my installed apps I might give the gradual app installation a try if I do it.
No I did not turn off auto-sync because being notified automatically about e-mails and such is one of the main reasons I use this phone. I know that it uses more battery when it's on, but I consider it a necessity. However, now that you mention it, I never really did try turning it off just to see how much of a difference it makes. That could be useful diagnostically so I'll probably give that a shot.
Also, on the auto sync note, is there a way for me to change the time interval that the google services wait to check for new notifications? Because I can't find it anywhere and I could have sworn that was an option in GB.

Disclaimer: None of the following is meant to be rude -
You're asking for a shotgun approach to a specific issue.
You do realize that the majority of people that your asking love to take things apart to find out what's wrong, right? Its kinds like taking the screwdriver away and asking someone to fix it.
That being said:
Autosync: App dependent. Check each app. If you have outlook, unfortunately its also on the server side for push notifications. If you have outlook, talk to the admin and ask if they left push at the standard default. You can find those settings through technet. I posted on this issue so you should be able to find it in search.
Each app install: Without a logcat at a minimum, or a verbose battery monitor app, that's a needle in a haystack. Either
A: go the "one at a time" method
B: Research each app for same issue
C: You can find similar posts on this issue since its such a popular one and try the various suggestions.
Either way, you're going to spend the same amount of time, or more, hunting this down.
Ooor, since you don't want to root:
You can flash ek02 and let the OTA process take you to el29 and try the no root method of ignoring future updates or hit the ignore button several times a day.

You can be stock rooted on the current over the air build if you are happy with touchwiz ics. When I use touchwiz based roms stock rooted is the way I go. You don't need to worry about tweaks or custom kernels if you want to keep it simple. We all started stock rooted, its a little scary at first but its really the way to go if you want the most from your phone. Its one of those things that you kick yourself for not doing sooner when its finally done.
I have been able to surpass my battery life on EL29 GB with various ics roms for months with similar customization done. Bone stock though I think you are right GB is a little better. A new official ICS update should be released soon FI27 though and they only get better. Give it a try stock and really consider rooting. We will help if you need it.
FYI this is a normal days battery for me. I'm currently running an AOSP rom with stock battery

Codename-Android-(JoyRide)-3.6.5.10012012-ALPHA

Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch
I have recently installed this new ROM and I love it! One down of it is the battery life. But I've disabled google now services and my battery improved at almost 40% lol It's nice to have it but It's also annoying to charge your phone every four hours. Im pretty sure there is a bug continuously running that drains the battery that fast. or maybe this syncing options are not very efficient.
Now going back to the point, the bad problem is that my phone is not recognizing my memory card. Other programs recognize it like file manager and others but every time I go to gallery my phone doesnt recognize the pictures from it. Also the music player doesnt see the music I have on it either. Frustrating :/
I have done so far this:
1. Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ROM
2 Unmounted and re mounted the memory card using the ClockworkMod
3. Formatted the memory card many ways and different formats
4. Used a different (blank) memory card with one file
I also read another thread from previous codename ROMs about putting a null file on certain folders? I cant recall it right now, but theres is one thread about it. That did not work as well.
Does anybody have this issue about the memory card? if anyone have any other thoughts or any solution please help and lets discuss about it.

Yes i had that issue as well, I just moved my pics and music to my internal card. its a quick fix. But I had that issue on CM9 but not on CM10 tho. just those two. So, hoped this helps ya. I really didn't look into it that deep. as soon as i moved the stuff over to my internal, I was good. you might wanna search the new CNA thread. see if there is a fix in there.

Did you do a clean install? My battery life on the current version of Codename is very good and only a bit less than ICS. There is some JB kernel development in place at the moment to clean up some of these remaining glitches. That's why this and other JB ROMs are still in alpha.
What governor are you using? Try pegasusq governor, it works for me. I'm also slightly undervolted.

This is from a fairly normal days use, heavy on Pandora. Stock battery

If everything worked like it is suppose to while flashing, GPS lock is not an issue with this ROM according to the development team. I have been using it for a few weeks and the only time I had GPS issues is when I tried out a few other ROMS for a couple of days and then nandroid back. GPS, batt issues, and messaging issues showed up, so it probably didnt get wiped very well before I restored teh nandroid.
Try a fresh install from GB kernal and see if that helps with any issues. That is what I did a few days ago and everything is working well again.

You have to get a gps lock in a touchwiz rom before flashing this for best results. I just used the fi27 one click for that. Do the one click update prl and profile, got a gps lock then flashed codename following the instructions on what to wipe.

Thanks, did that and it didnt work. Everything seems to be pretty good with this ROM except the ROM. Did a clean re install and the same. I guess I did something wrong, but for what I've been reading, a good percentage of people is having either the gps issue or the memory card reading issue.

There is a fix for the GPS in development called JB Tweaks. My GPS would lock in about a min before, but now it takes 10-15 seconds. I would recommend using Alpha 1 build for now. Some are reporting fc's on 3 and battery drains on 2.1.

CNA is actually a pretty sturdy ROM. Your battery life issues can't entirely be fixed, but they can be improved greatly by a few simple things:
- Use CNA's "Performance" tab in the settings. It should be right there towards the top.
- Underclock your CPU to 800 - 1000MHz. There isn't a huge difference between the two, but whichever you prefer. I don't do a lot of gaming type processes on my phone so I am perfectly content with 800MHz.
- Change the I/O Governor to "pegasusq" with a matching I/O Scheduler of "noop." I've personally had / seen a lot of people have success with that combo.
- Turn off completely your Auto-Sync. I have my e-mail settings set to only refresh when I tell it too. Same goes for Weather applications, or any app that will run in the background invisibly, especially Facebook! Watch out for that one. They can prevent your phone from deep sleep.
- Change your brightness to a setting that is comfortable for you during the day and night, so that way your phone isn't constantly trying to do that for you.
- INVERTED GAPPS. The dominant black really helps keep the screen from using a lot of power and you will probably notice a difference when the battery has been calibrated correctly.
Hope some of those tips help you out! It's taken me some time to discover what I am most comfortable using, but I have figured it all out.
As for the SD Card issue. Might I recommend trying a different Root Explorer? Perhaps ES File Explorer or even "Root Explorer" from the Play Store? I know there has been a few issues like that for me, and honestly, I am still trying to figure them out myself. It somehow manages to correct itself, because I will wake up the next day with it working just fine. I personally use ES File explorer. I love the layout and it's free. Can't beat free.

Hope some of those tips help you out! It's taken me some time to discover what I am most comfortable using, but I have figured it all out.
As for the SD Card issue. Might I recommend trying a different Root Explorer? Perhaps ES File Explorer or even "Root Explorer" from the Play Store? I know there has been a few issues like that for me, and honestly, I am still trying to figure them out myself. It somehow manages to correct itself, because I will wake up the next day with it working just fine. I personally use ES File explorer. I love the layout and it's free. Can't beat free.

Thanks for all the tips man! they are incredible and I've done some of them too. I stated at the beginning that the battery was really bad but I've managed to fix all those problems. A good calibration helps a lot too. Later I said I wasnt having problems with the battery and discovered my GPS wasnt working. I think Im gonna try different things ( I havent tried anything because school is killing me and I have time for nothing) so little by little Im getting there.
but thanks anyway, those recommendations are just perfect for anybody that wants to have a better battery life

GPS is an easy fix, get on a tw rom, turn on GPS and get a lock, leave GPS on and locked, then boot to a safe recovery and flash the rom u want to use. GPS will now work normally, if your lock is slow on the new rom download GPS status & toolbox and clear A-GPS data and redownload the data and it will lock fast, I can get lock within 2m indoors in less than 30sec on my et4g

Changelogs
As we're getting back into the thread game, keeping up with threads and updating them as per changelogs can be too hectic given our schedule. However, very detailed changelogs always go up on our Google+ page, follow us for constant updates!
Instructions & requirements
We highly recommend you to follow these instructions very carefully. Users usually tend to skip a few steps and eventually fall in trouble. Are you with me? Good. Let's get this train going.
Just a few things to keep in mind first -
If you're coming from another ROM / Stock, your system data (not internal storage) will have to be wiped. This includes apps, accounts, messages, call logs etc.
There's been some users complaining about different GAPPS variants messing up installs and causing a ton of issues. Upon investigating it seems OpenGapps Mini/Nano and Banks GAPPS work best.
Understand that Paranoid Android is a custom ROM and it might lead to addiction as it's relatively good. We shouldn't be accused of anything just incase your cat starts drinking wine. Things get a little woozy in the Paranoid World.
Some brain might be involved if things go wrong. Not a lot though, as much to solve what's 1+1.
Okay let's get to the main bit -
Once you have all the required files - boot into recovery and wipe the bananas out of your device. Get into the wipe menu and wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache (basically everything except Internal Storage).
Once wiped, get into the "Install from zip" menu and select the ROM zip. (pa_robin_6.x...). Once added to the install queue, TWRP will ask you if you want to add more zips into the queue - Click on "add more zips" and select the GAPPS package.
Swipe the bar on the bottom to flash/install zips. Once both zips are done installing - Reboot into system and set-up your device, do not do anything else.
Once you're done setting up your device - well that's when you're done. One thing though - Make sure you DO NOT INSTALL any other zip in the same queue as the ROM & GAPPS. Meaning, do not flash anything like a kernel or a root package while installing the ROM. We recommend you do that AFTER you're done setting up your device.
Important / Useful links
OpenGapps / Banks GAPPS
SuperSU root package
Paranoid Android Community (G+)
Our kernel sauce (Robin)
As always, we listen to what you have to say. Help us make PA better by submitting good bug reports possibly with a log attached. Learn how to take logs here. Submit bug reports and we'll try to iron out issues as soon as possible - it really helps a lot.
Our device maintainers and CAF caretakers @TheCrazyLex, @xboxfanj and @thecrazyskull are right here at xda. Mention (@) them if you need some assistance and/or when reporting bugs.
Cheers and #StayParanoid!

Nice work!

SO much YASSSS!

No battery charging light, no way to disable notification light pulse while in DND.
Strange, there are apps that aren't showing up in "apps with usage access" greenify and screenwise meter require this on.
This rom makes the phone buttery smooth and fast! It's a whole new beast that's for sure.
Edit: attached is a general log. There's some quirkiness to the rom.

Best custom rom ever tried on the Robin. Totally lagfree, smooth and bugless.

Yeah, it actually works after clearing my cache and dalvik + a reboot. Overall the rom is working pretty great now

Android wear bluetooth battery optimization
Morning all. I have been using this Rom for about 5 days now and I love everything about it except 2 things: Android Wear and Bluetooth optimization for it. I use the Huawei Watch and on the stock ROM, my phone battery lasts about a day and a half of light use with the watch connected at all times. And if I were to go into battery stats, everything would look normal. Since switching to PA, My battery lasts barely 4 hours when I'm not using it. When I look at the battery stats, it shows Bluetooth just draining it 99%. Are there some tweaks you plan on doing to this ROM in order for Smartwatch users to be able to use this as well? This ROM is awesome, but unless there is some sort of fix for this, I can't use it. Is anyone else having this issue? I am willing to provide logs as well, if someone can advise me how to take them.

Thank you very much we will investigate the cause of the issue

I have the same issue with my Pebble, battery stats reported Bluetooth percentage 126%!!
As reported on Nextbit Community thread, I have several problems on phone calls, some freeze and reboots (the last one today, using Waze).
And a very huge battery drain, mainly on mobile network activities (not only for data, but for phone signal too).
With the Stock ROM, battery lasts more than a day; actually, I'm charging 2-3 times a day, when the main usage for me is on email (Gmail with Exchange working account).
Hope next version could work better on my Robin!

I'm having the same issue. Also battery life really bad when I leave BT on

Has anyone gotten Viper4Android to work in this ROM? I placed the APK in priv-app to install it, but sound isn't processed.

Same (Bluetooth) battery issues
I'm having the same problems as others, so far. I have a Pebble watch with me at all time, which means bluetooth stays on at all times. My battery is less than optimal after flashing PA. Whenever I check the battery page, Bluetooth is the only thing that shows up. No Screen, or WiFi, or any other apps for that matter.
Don't know how to share screenshots here, but it's more or less identical. 80% battery left, battery page shows 20% of battery taken by Bluetooth.

I'm currently running CM but has the same problem. Amplify seems to have fixed this Bluetooth bug for me.

What's working?
Everything?
What's not working?
You tell me...
Known minor issues:
Rarely, opening the settings from quick settings can crash the system-ui. This issue is not persistent and if it happens, only happens after a reboot or restarting system-ui(like changing ui elements from customization options).
Opening a notification will solve this issue until the next reboot, also this problem didn't happen when i had a password/pin protection.
Info about the down-clocked kernel:
My device can't run 1.1GHz on the little cores so i'm using a modified version of the kernel. Previous builds of the rom were using that downclocked kernel, so just in case if the previous builds were working and the latest doesn't you can use that downclocked kernel. added in the google drive folder... normally you shouldn't need it but personally i'm using the down-clocked one.

I made this rom for personal use and can't regularly update or maintain it. Don't have enough time or storage space on my drives for it. So, if you find some other bugs feel free to report it for other users but i probably won't be able to fix them. Apart from the hotspot problem i didn't encounter any major issues...
also made an ArrowOS build for these devices. wanted to see if it was performing better or not but didn't notice any differences in terms of performance. also ArrowOS is a bit behind in terms of security updates... still, i already compiled it so why not share it? more options the better... if you want a vanilla rom you can check it out...
link to the ArrowOS thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-v11-0-unofficial-20-04-2023-stable.4578273/

Thanks so much for your effort and great work.

good news! i guess...
while i won't be able to fix the built in hotspot feature, there's an alternative and no root required. tested it and got a connection. it's a bit inconvenient but if you're not connecting a lot of devices to your mobile hotspot shouldn't be a huge deal i hope?
the app is called PDANet+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=en
you have to set the proxy settings on the client device and that proxy info changes every time so you can't set it once and forget it sadly...
@str4610 you said it was an important feature for you...
so now we know there's a workaround. if you guys find a better alternative app feel free to share it.

Hello, I could not install ROM version 3.3.1 with TWRP. I used version 3.7.0.9.
Also, Nikgapps Hannibal did not allow restore backup from Google Drive and I used the basic version.
Battery consumption is high.
The ROM has a bit of lag
Also, after turning on and off the hotspot for test, Wi-Fi did not turn on until after rebooting the device.
The charging speed is good
I did not see another case

is your device a Z00T or Z00L?
about the issues... did you disable the blurs? i don't have any ui lags unless there's a background process like app update from play store etc. but blurs are causing a big lag problem. it requires a reboot after disabling the setting to take effect btw.
yes, trying the hotspot breaks the wifi and requires a reboot. i already listed hotspot as not working. since it doesn't cause a permanent issue i didn't give details. hotspot is not working anyways so normally you wouldn't touch that setting at all after trying it once.
i just recently charged my phone so only have a short idle drain info. i was constantly flashing roms and the phone was connected to my pc most of the time. but at least the idle drain looks great on my end
if you didn't disable the blurs that would explain the lag and maybe the battery drain? since it's working hard and use lots of power?

It seems that the process of draining the battery has improved a bit. The thing that caught my attention is that when working with a non-gaming phone, the back and top part next to the volume buttons gets a little warm. I am experiencing it for the first time

you mean the right side? that's where the soc is... it's normal for that area to be the warmest. didn't notice an unusual warming tho. it's like it's always been for me. so far i'm not having any problems with this rom except for the built-in hotspot. also made 3 phone calls since then, battery is still at 91%
were you using this phone daily? or just trying the rom?

If you say so, then it's not a problem, but for me, it's the first time outside of the game that I feel the heat. Regarding the battery, it has been 3 months since it was replaced. I didn't have a problem with Rom RR running fast. However, after turning off the blure, both the lag and the battery drain have improved. You may not believe it, but I must say yes, it is my main phone and is used daily. However, apart from Instagram, Telegram and calling, I don't do anything special and that's enough for now.

i lended this phone to someone else and it was in active use as well... still enough for basic tasks imo.
then he broke it's charging port and needed a working phone asap. he got a new phone, i got this back and repaired. he was running the groovy android btw, the nougat rom. that rom was fully functional and stable as well. but personally i like the notification categories a lot. so anything below oreo is a big no-no for my use.
my main phone is a poco x3 pro now. snapdragon 860 is pretty fast compared to this old device

Maybe 5 is exaggerated, I will give it 7. I can't list them all, you must have used them before to understand what I mean. However, crdroid is worth using. Security update. Choosing the function of the physical keys and solving the problem of the speaker during a call. And thanks again for your effort. All these are advantages, I just wish there was a way to solve the hotspot.

well as i said i wasn't using the phone. ofcourse tried rr, but the loudspeaker problem was a big deal since the user of this phone wasn't tech savvy. i tried it and just moved on. not having any problems was more important than the features. he was messing up the basic settings so i even locked the settings menu of his phone lol he was accidentally turning off the wifi and using mobile data etc. so i removed the quick setting tile of the wifi as well and removed the quick settings modification option. basically made a locked down phone for him.
so i don't remember much about the rr. but crdroid seems to have almost all of the same features and all of em works, unlike rr for zenfone. what features are that important, even though u can't remap hw keys rr is above the cr?
also, have u tried the PDANet+? it works for hotspots. yeah it's inconvenient compared to the built-in hotspot but its better than nothing...

I agree . I am only talking about RR because I care a lot about appearance and coloring, otherwise it would have had many problems. And I'm not trying to downplay your hard work for this ROM. I am using it now my friend.
Without hesitation, I suggest other users of this phone to use this ROM

What caught my attention is the shape of signal bar style zig zag and wifi bar style really something

Report: The phone was reset twice during the installation and update of apps from Google Play when connected to the charger.
