Hey there,
I thought about moving to CM7 but I read that the battery life is not that good on the CM7 Kernel. Which one should I take?

Try it first. I find stock kernel perfectly fine. Lasts me through the whole day, which is the only thing i ask from my phone, battery wise.
Id say glitch kernel dude

I second this, but I haven't tried any other kernel on cm7.
Stock or glitch

Hello, I'm doing some battery testing on different roms to see which ones the best, so far it's Ultimate 10.2. On all the other roms the battery indicator all have a percentage and that's what I was basing my tests on. But on Ultimate, the battery is just a battery. I tried flashing a mod with CW but it just froze or got stuck in the loading menu. Any help on to why this happens or another way to install the rom?
Greatly appreciated, Richard.

Hello again, what base is ultimate? You cab use battstatt from market
Im on Ultimate v5.6 XXJPY. I don't like using battstat im kinda OCD ahah and I would rather have a mod to replace the other one.

Any jpy theme should work
It's in About Phone, under Status.
Are the mods universal? I found a jpy battery mod but it said it was for darkys rom. Will that work?

May or may not. In general, themes designed for JPX based roms would work in any JPX rom, but there is no 100% guarantee it would. Before u do any of these things, I would recommend taking a nandroid backup so u can revert to that in case anything messes up.
If ur rom is a JPY based rom, it could work on urs too.
For me, about 2-3 out of 10 themes mess up and nandroid is the way to get back.

Is there such thing as a universal kernel that can go with all roms? If not can you suggest a mod for a jpy rom? I have my whole phoned backed up in like three different computer files so I'm open to suggestions.

Which is fastest ginger JVP ROM and fastest kernel for it? Having been on cm7/miui since the froyo days im kinda curious now
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why not CM7? It's based on 2.3.4 and you can overclock/undervolt too.

Juwes and GingerCriskelo works very fine.
not a direct response to your question but: I've tested a few jvp roms incl. Juwe's v5 release (and I honestly admire Juwe for his work) however insanity 10 (which is CM based) provides a much smoother user experience. give it a try....
I am waiting on Simply Honey 3.8. Tried a few of the others but so far i have been extremely pleased with SH. Been with it since v3.2. New one is gonna be released at 3.30pm today!

a rom will include a kernel, so if you flash a rom, it will flash a new kernel on your phone. then you would have to reflash JUST the kernel you want. whats wrong with andromeda?
I think its great but still a lot like stock! Everything runs smooth they did a great job on this rom! I just want something different because this was my very first custom rom!

thank you....'they' in this case, includes myself.
Well great job its a great rom I do like it a lot but a few things I can't seem to figure out are, 1. My wifi speed I can't get over 6meg I have 25meg service at my house? 2nd. How do I customize my status bar? And last can you direct me to start up and shut down animations that I can flash with cwm?

With all the I897 roms im having a really annoying problem.
The phone powers off in the night, or after long periods of the screen powered off.
I can't even put an alarm because the phone is off after I wake up...
Im sure its not an app problem because it even happens on stock KJ3, and also not a problem of my.phone, because it doesn't happen in i9000 roms, or CM7.
Anyone else having this problem?

This happened to me when I was using SetCPU. If you have that or any other CPU governing app installed, try removing it and see if it helps.

i897 GB Bootloaders, more specifically: OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders
I have had 2 or 3 sleep of deaths since running the KJ3 leak. ?? Maybe just a bug in the firmware, because I usually stay pretty close to stock, except for boog's kernel and dev launchers. Don't use widgets that much, etc.

It happens to me EVERY night, and it happened also on Pinnacle (KH3 ROM)
Yeah that's not right... ??? I don't know what to think about that, especially since it doesn't happen on i9000, etc.

Yeah I thought that it was probably my device but then I flashed i9000, CM7, MIUI, etc, and tested them all for a few days and none had the same problem.
I would use any of those but: MIUI and CM7 have bad battery life, and i9000 ROMs have that annoying charge bug. i897 have great battery life but it's really annoying that I can't use an alarm.
I am using a samsung captivate running aokp build 31 semaphore kernel. I cannot seem to get data connection at all. I go into settings, more, mobile networks, and when I click network operators, it just searches for a network forever. I have tried several roms and still cannot get service on any of them.
Is there something I'm missing that isn't getting me any connection? If so, what can I do to fix this problem?

Well I changed the kernel from glitch to semaphore to see if that would do anything but it still didn't work. I'm new to all of this so I don't know if kernel is the same thing as modem.
Kernel is different than the modem the modem is what controls the cell signal part of the phone there is a website that has a map and it has pins on it that tell you what modems work best in what areas you will have to Google it because I don't remember the website off hand and you have to be on a computer for the site to work right.

thanks i found the website. but if i flashed a different modem and my service still doesn't work what could be causing the problem then? And is ice cream sandwich a froyo or gingerbread rom? because i basically only use ice cream sandwich and i want to make sure i dont flash a froyo modem for a gingerbread rom.
Just flashed a modem from that map. thank you so much. I got my data back and at my house where i get no connection, i have full bars. Thanks so much. Now last thing, i can flash a rom over it and it will stay correct?

ICS is basically Android 4.0 gingerbread is 2.3 and froyo is 2.2. You are gonna want a modem that has ics in the name of it I think the one I'm using is cm7-ics -jl3 or something along those lines.

yeah i got cm7-ics-UGKG3. Data works great. Will the modem affect the battery life as well, because i was getting terrible battery life with any rom, so if that affects battery life, then that could have been the reason it was so bad. I was just in a bad modem. And also, does it affect the performance such as smootness, or is that the kernel and roms job?
Also, when i flashed semaphore kernel and was using that. I tried to install a rom or anything, but it said there was an error and it wouldn't let me flash anything. Is that normal for a custom kernel to do that? this was the first time i tried a custom kernel normally i just use the one that comes with the rom. I had to restore one of my old roms because CWM wouldn't let me flash anything new.

It will affect battery life but won't help with smoothness different kernels and roms help I over clock mine to 1300 mhz instead of stock 1000 that seems to help but the captivate period has bad battery life so I got the extended battery for 13 bucks and I don't even look at the battery any more.

Okay thanks. And if you flash a rom over a custom kernel such as AOKP with icy glitch kernel over semaphore will the icy glitch kernel replace the semaphore kernel then you would have to reflash semaphore or will semaphore stay?

It will replace it but I seem to have better luck with icy glitch and I don't think you can over clock with semaphore.
