sry i ment g3mod this one is non overclocked and for me its life is 2 days plus for sure just calibrate your batery by letting it from full to completly dry since you dont have a rooted rom
just flash it in recovery

Thanks peter. I will flash with the kernel that you have provided and let you know if it resolves the issue. can you please let me know if it is listed in the list that I have provided above.
also, i have rooted my phone so for rooted phones, is there any other procedure to flash kernel other than that listed on the link that i have pasted in my previous thread?

since you have rooted use battery calibration from market(free) for better calibration and instant.it is in your list *G3mod* but its an older version(seems better to me at least for the battery).
to flash it,the easiest way is through recovery.it make no difference the flashing way
so now flash it,charge to full(until the phone tells you,not just 100%) and use the calibration app.thats it.let me know how it is
p.s im on 5h 12m display,32m voice calls,2h 24m wifi and 2d 11h 21m unplugged and still 28% battery left
p.s.2 are you using gallery 3d for your pictures?its know for battery drain,better use quickpic(on market,free) and ofc set brightness to minimum

Are u on stock rom or custom???

Hey Peter,
Can you please let me know the exact steps to flash 1.7 kernel using odin and which version of odin to use as I searched for both on google but didn't get detailed steps to do this and also, there are many versions of odin available?
I only got the following on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252698
Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.
applying update.zip from Recovery is not working for me as cwm is not installed on my phone so I want to use odin to do the same thing...

when the phone is off try to press up+down volume buttons and home key and power button to get in recovery.if it doesnt work download I5800_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.252 for odin(there should be somewhere in xda) and unfortunantly 1.7 is not i g3mod list anymore but try from here http://code.google.com/p/g3modteam/...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount g3mod_froyo_v1.9_lite.tar(make sure its the .tar cause the zip wont flash)
1.9 is also good enough

peter,
you have attached g3mod 1.7 in your previous post. I will use that one.
can you please let me know, which file I need to select after selecting one package from the zip file in odin?

omg men u save my life literaly :') i succes on install the Darky's rom xtreme edition but the menu is the same as the froyo 2.2 :/ i thought it'll be more likely to the 2.3 gingerbread ... is there a way to have that menu style?
Glad I helped as for the ginger bread im not to sure I'd have a look around
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
download gingerbread launcher from the market. its free
sounds lik you installed the wrong version of speedmod kernel there is one from the i9000 models and one for the captivate.. the touch button drivers are diffeent and the symptoms you describe would be what happen if you install wrong kernel.

remove FPS Cap

write in build.prop
"debug.gr.swapinterval=0"

Whos it does effect stock too, though it causes graphical glitches
Yeah I take back what I said it works on stock kernel, though I don't recommend it.
tried this on j's cm7 20b
achieved avg 82fps...
it makes a lot smoother but also makes lag...for me
ive attached a signed zip with modified init.local.rc
flash this with xrecovery
hope it works
Is there any potential danger doing this? I'd might try it on 2.2 for testing only :O

maybe it causes battery drain...not sure, idk, lol.
backup your phone and give it a try
i think it doesn't affect in froyo

oh....my bad....
it was sdcard speed improvement
ignore that thing...
i just forgot to delete that
thank you utsubo.
i understand.
np.
forgot to say, it's modified init.local.rc from j's cyanogenmod 7 v20b
it should not be used for other roms

your update.zip didn't work bro... still stuck with the 40 FPS limit..
hmm...strange...
tested and worked for me.
j's cm7 20b, almost clean install.
i think it works with latest...
flashable zip attached...this time, with my build.prop included
Anyone tried on stock kernel?

will test once my battery has more juice.
Tried on 2.1 optimized. No improvement on benchmarks and screen jitters badly. Also saw 4% bat drain in 10 mins, but that could have been down to trying to multitask wiv mod applied (wifi,BT,sync). If I can provide any further useful info let me know. B-)

Best gingerbread non miui rom

I like the normal android roms. Please let me know the best gingerbread non miui rom with the good battery life
Simply stock is th best one. its browser is as smooth as the iphones and is capable of playing 720p flash contebt with out any lag. also battery life is very good.
Do I have use odin to install or can it be flashed from recovery.
Please post the rom names so I can try it out
If ur on a rom with a custom kernel u coud use recovery... be sure that ur not on cm7 cuz if u r then u have to odin..

try it yourself... mileage will vary. Recalibrate your battery too.
Sucks there is only 1 GB kernel (non CM7/Miui) that has working GPS..and its showing its age. Only thing holding me back.
Wish Cmenard wold share his knowledge to the other devs to get gps working.
Which one is that? Does simply stock have functional GPS?

Why isnt this in vibrant bible
Isn't simply stock relatively new? I think the vibrant Bible isn't quite as up too date as it used too be. Let us know how it worlds out. I've been curious about that combo myself. I'm on CM7 with streamline and GPS could be a bit more reliable. Wish they could add GPS to talon kernel.

hi
1. read carefully on how to use Odin
2. it is always advisable to do a factory/Data wipe and wipe delvi cache and then flash the ROM via odin and if u want to go back to the stock rom dont worry just look in the rollup thread and u will see some links with stock rom with out boot loader for u to flash
good luck and be care full read carefully before attempting to flash
Like it has been said before, it´s ok.
Just remember to follow the guide and you´ll be just fine.
I recommend to flash the Kyrillos Rom 9.2 with G3Mod 2.2.2 noc oc.
Hit thanks if it helped you anyway.
Best of luck
Thanks alot harree.
Also what about the Overclock thingy? and one more question i read in one of the threads that a bettery stats wipe should be done after installing the rom. Well i searched around and i couldn't find a thread on how to do that. I would appreciate if someone can help with that.
@iam_dragonmaster, how can i install the g3mod 2.2.2 non oc (i figure this is a kernal? how can i install a kernal when installing the rom?) with kyrillos rom? besides i can only install kyrillos 9.0 i think then have to use the update.zip thingy to update.

Boot into recovery using the extended boot menu and apply the update for kyrillos 9.2 by selecting zip from SD card and of course you need to put the update in your SD card. You can download g3mod kernel and flash it via Odin one package and it does not wipe your data . Also you can download the battery calibration app from the market and install it and follow the instructions. For me i use Zeppelinroxs die hard battery calibrator script. Can be found with the beta/test releases of v6 supercharger.
