My extensive “Tips & Tricks” guide to:
• Installing a new ROM
• Installing a new Kernel
• Achieving the best battery life as possible
Installing a new ROM
ZIP file Corruption issues?
When installing a new ROM it is important to make sure that when you copy the .zip file over (for a CWM installation) that the file copies correctly. One of the major causes of issues with massive 100-200meg ROM zip files is corruption when copying the file across. The best way to eliminate this is to:
1) Boot into CWM (vol up + menu + power)
2) Go to “Mounts & Storage”
3) Go to “Mount USB Storage”
4) Copy the files onto your “Internal SDcard”
5) Use the windows “safely remove usb device” function
6) Go to unmount on the phone
This method safely ensures that the file has copied over as corruption free as possible. If the .zip file is still corrupt, this could be an issue with either A) the zip file thats online, so check the forums from the creator to see if there has been any excess reports of people having a similar issue or B) re-download the file using a PC (if you originally downloaded it OTA (over the air – on the phone via WIFI or 3G) as there is a greater chance of a .zip file of such large quantity being corrupted OTA rather than through a PC download.

How to eliminate any residual files during a full-wipe ROM installation?
Once the .zip file is located on the Internal SDcard, enter CWM:
1) Boot into CWM (vol up + menu + power)
2) Wipe Data/factory reset (main menu)
3) Wipe Cache (main menu)
4) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
5) main menu > advanced menu > Reboot Recovery
6) Install ZIP from sdcard > Choose ZIP from sdcard > XXX.zip
7) Wipe Cache (main menu)
8) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
This may or may not be unnecessary – it all depends on how each individual ROM is designed, created and how many customisations are made to it. This takes only 30 seconds extra, and could save you a vast amount of time after booting into the new ROM and finding out that there are residual (left over) files from any previous ROMs that can be conflicting or causing force closes.
Installing a new Kernel
1) Boot into CWM (vol up + menu + power)
2) Wipe Cache (main menu)
3) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
4) main menu > advanced menu > Reboot Recovery
5) Install ZIP from sdcard > Choose ZIP from sdcard > XXX.zip
6) Wipe Cache (main menu)
7) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
This too, may or may not be unnecessary – but at the cost of 3 seconds of your time, can result in a smoother installation and transition from Kernel to Kernel, even if it is the same Kernel or a new updated version.
Achieving the best battery life as possible
Batteries on any android device are a tricky thing to master to maximise. The selection of the ideal ROM and Kernel plays a vital role in determining how the phone itself will function both visually and behind the scenes. To maximise your battery, you should choose a slimmed down ROM and Kernel combination that has removed as many default Samsung bloat ware applications and system functions as possible, but retaining as much functionality as possible. E.g. not removing such things like the camera or wifi drivers etc etc etc
After installing a new ROM or Kernel or even on an existing ROM/Kernel combination there are certain things a person can do to help improve battery life, these include:
• Monitoring the battery
• Freezing unnecessary applications / system processes
• Removing applications from startup
• Ensuring applications are efficiently accessing the internet only when required
• Underclocking & Undervolting
• Other tips and tricks (must read)
Monitoring the battery
Monitoring the battery is very simple, and only a few applications are required. I personally use 3 in particular. These include:
1) “Better Battery Stats”- (Paid version) – This can help to determine what applications or processes or even kernel functions are waking the phone from a deep sleep via a “partial wakelock” or “kernel wakelock” – and to help you eliminate these to effectively achieve a higher deep sleep so your phone is no longer using battery when the screen is turned off.
a. This application can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5hc2tzdmVuLmJldHRlcmJhdHRlcnlzdGF0cyJd
2) “CPU Spy” – This application helps to show what state the phone has been in, to help show you visually why your battery has been draining. It ranges from “Deep Sleep” / 200mhz / 500mhz / 800mhz / 1000mhz and 1200mhz states giving both a “time in” each state and a total % of the whole.
a. This application can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..
3) Battery Monitor Widget - (Free and Pro versions) - What this app does, is actually meausre the VOLTAGES in the battery itself, and shows you a mah/pHr output via a widget and can also calibrate its own statistics based on precise measurements from when it is drained to charged. It also has the ability to calibrate the battery, and shows the “draw” voltages history timeline to help better understand and follow where your power is going based on timestamps. I am not sure how "accurate" these readings actually are, but they seem to be fairly good. You can create battery profiles (for people who swap out batteries often OR want to test multiple types of batteries from ebay or wherever.)
a. Free Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNjYzcxLmJtdyJd
b. Pro/Paid Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNjYzcxLmJtdy5wcm8iXQ
Freezing unnecessary applications / system processes
The freezing of applications that you no longer wish to use can be vital to increasing battery life. Freezing over Uninstalling also allows for a better “User Error” as such, if you FREEZE a particular application and you later find out that you either wanted that app or needed that app for another app to work, you can go back in and UNFREEZE rather than having to relocate and reinstall this app. All of this can be done with the most vital tool that any ROOT user should have in their app repertoire – Titanium Backup – Located here:
A) Free Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
B) Pro/Paid Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXBQcm8iXQ..
The Pro/Paid version is well worth the funds, and can save you hours of time by backing up applications before any ROM and KERNEL installation to prevent loss of vital information and data settings for all of your applications. It also has the above mentioned FREEZE app function which I will run you through now.
To FREEZE an application:
1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Tap “Backup/Restore tab at the top of the screen. This will show all of the applications you have installed on your phone. RED apps are SYSTEM apps, and WHITE apps are USER apps. This is vital to remember, as SYSTEM apps “CAN” cause faults in the ROM and cause force closes if a particular app is required for another to work.
3) Scroll up and down to find the applications you wish to FREEZE – then tap that application and push FREEZE (middle centre)
4) To UNFREEZE an app, repeat the process and tap UNFREEZE
ADDED: 22/11/2011 – Complete list of SYSTEM applications that CAN and CANT be frozen or removed.
Here is a compiled list of almost every SYSTEM application that another member on the forums called Yeyka (a.k.a. Angus) has compiled and i have updated and added to. Please be extremely careful with ones that have an AQUA CAUTION beside them, as they can cause massive problems if frozen or uninstalled by mistake.

Although my list is substantially long, and not all ROMS will have everyone of these or the NUMBERING version of each application will be different for everyone, the applications are still the same, just the version number is different.
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WHEN FREEZING APPLCATIONS – ESPECIALLY THE TWLAUNCHER ONES, NOT FOR NOVICES.
Some people have asked why I freeze applications like Videos / Music / My Files / Samsung Keyboard / Swype etc – The reasons are, I have alternate apps for music, videos, file exploring and keyboards etc – Which are all USER applications and easier to transfer between ROM to ROM rather than SYSTEM apps which can be difficult to backup and move from ROM to ROM. The more you can get away from using the stock Samsung applications the better and easier the transition from ROM to ROM will be – and the settings you use will also be kept.
Removing applications from startup
Another useful and extremely handy application is “Startup Manager” app. Using this application, you can choose which USER and SYSTEM apps you wish to be prevented from opening on startup. This is handy for 2 reasons.
1) Allows for faster boot times
2) Gives the user better control over which applications open by themselves and therefore conserving more battery by not having them all open on startup.
a. Free Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImltb2JsaWZlLnN0YXJ0dXBtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
b. Pro/Paid Version here: https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImltb2JsaWZlLnN0YXJ0dXBtYW5hZ2VyLmZ1bGwiXQ..
Ensuring applications are efficiently accessing the internet only when required
There is 2 ways to do this:
1) Open each application you believe that uses any kind of internet connectivity and check that they are either disabled or set within an acceptable range for the users preference e.g. Facebook application > Notifications > polling every X minutes OR X hours
2) Use an application to help do this for you. Such an application as “Juice Defender” – This application is designed for people who have a heavy amount of applications on their phones that access the internet regularly. It disables all connectivity to the phone upon “Screen Off” and only reenables these connections when the screen is turned on. There are other settings but this is the overall concept behind it. There are 3 main versions:
a. Free : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&feature=search_result
b. Plus: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender.plus&feature=search_result
c. Ultimate: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.ultimatejuice&feature=search_result
The names are appropriate to the level of functionality included in each. Free gives basic level of control, Plus gives a little bit more and Ultimate gives you the most control and functionality for maximum battery conservation.
Underclocking & Undervolting
Specific Kernels allow the user to control the speeds of their processors and the voltages at which it can run. Some of these Kernels include: Siyah & SpeedMod and many more (others I have not tested myself) Some Kernels do this via scripting methods built into the Kernel itself and others allow the user to control these via 3rd Party applications such as:
A) SetCPU – allows frequency / voltage control (only if the Kernel is supported): https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5taHVhbmcub3ZlcmNsb2NraW5nIl0.
B) Voltage Control – very similar to SetCPU but with alot more advanced settings: https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5kYXJla3hhbi52b2x0YWdlY29udHJvbCJd
Other Tips and Tricks
This is the part where I tell you a few other tips and tricks that I have learnt over the past 2-3 years of using Android based phones and tablets which will help to dramatically increase battery life while also giving the user a better knowledge base from which to give them the tools to possibly explore even better ways of maximising their batteries.
A) Turning off EVERYTHING – applications that you are not using so that your phone has better “Deep Sleep”. This can be done through a number of applications that give quick, easy, 1 press access to things such as Wifi / 3G / Bluetooth / GPS / Auto Sync / Air Plane Mode / Screen Brightness / Volume (silent / Vibrate and Sound) / Auto Rotation etc. This can be done through a number of ways.
a. Certain themes like J-Kays http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278 which allows the user to customise their Status bar and power button menus.
b. Applications like Switch Pro https://market.android.com/details?id=alei.switchpro&feature=search_result which you can add and customise widgets on your home screen and many more
c. ADDED: 22/11/2011 - ADVANCED SYSTEM AUTO START UP CONTROL
Do you have an issue with applications automatically starting all the time? Have you disabled notifications and refresh times, but the app still seems to open itself and run in the background? e.g. Facebook app. I have disabled the application from auto syncing, however BetterBatteryStats still says that it runs in the background causing partial wakelocks... Well I have found the answer an app called "AUTORUN MANAGER" which can help.
This application gives the user almost complete control over which applications start by themselves, and the services that run in the background. By disabling each applications ability to AUTOLOAD this can help save battery life, and prevent apps from still accessing the internet, even when you have turned off the service.
The application comes with SIMPLE and ADVANCED modes. Root access is required. Simply open the application, tap on the application name that you wish to stop from running in the background, and disable the appropriate services.
This application also has the ability to stop SYSTEM applications from AUTOLOADING and running in the background. BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN DEALING WITH SYSTEM APPS.

B) Task killers – this is a very touchy subject and many people believe the phone does not require a task killer. With this i totally agree, however, there are certain circumstances when a having a task killer installed may be useful. This is when the designers of certain apps create them with memory leaks and sometimes they don’t close effectively and efficiently from the internal Android OS task killer which is built into most ROMs.
Example: a big graphical game, may have an error, rather than exiting out of the program upon closing of the game, it sits in the background awaiting you to return to it (which a lot of games do, as they may record high scores, achievements etc) and will not close unless the user specifies an “Exit” type function built into the game. Some of these apps and games may sit in the background for minutes or even hours before the task killer can and will do anything about these. A little nudge from the user can be the difference in a substantial battery % loss and gain depending on the user’s ability to identify, and kill specific tasks at will.
Some task killers have widgets which can run silently on the home screen and give you quick 1 touch application killing functions quick and easily. HOWEVER – killing all application processes is not a good thing to do, and will most likely result in a great deal of battery drain, as the system WILL reboot most of these apps and will take more battery power than leaving them running in the background.
C) Using black or dark themes – the screen on the S2 especially is the biggest battery drainer there is. The darker the themes and backgrounds the better the battery saving you will achieve. It is a well known fact that anything bright from a device with such a large screen will generate a greater level of power draw needed to display these on the screen.
D) Default phone settings such as:
a. Fast Dormancy (*#9900 in keypad) disabled or enabled can cause better battery drain.
b. SETTINGS > WIRELESS > MOBILE NETWORKS > NETWORK MODE > WCDMA ONLY – can cause the phone to not keep switching 3G modes so rapidly and achieve faster internet speeds with greater battery life
c. SETTINGS > WIRELESS > WIFI-SETTINGS > (menu button > ADVANCED) > WI-FI sleep policy > Never when Plugged in – can switches off WiFi when the phone isn’t plugged in and the screen is turned OFF
d. SETTINGS > LOCATION AND SECURITY > USE WIRELESS NETWORKS (off) – this sends constant location based information to and from google (or so ive read) – it is unnescceary to have it on all the time, unless you are using GPS / Google maps or other location based applications – however may also result in the marketplace not constantly updating in the background.
e. ADDED: 21/11/2011 - DISABLING GOOGLE BACKGROUND SYNC
After reading through some better battery stats partial wake locks, and doing some online research. It appears that Google will send and receive information to its SYNC server if the following setting is enabled:
SETTINGS > PRIVACY > BACK UP MY DATA
So you will want to DISABLE this.
f. ADDED: 21/11/2011 - DISABLING GOOGLE BACKGROUND SYNC
Disable both:
MARKET > SETTINGS > NOTIFICATIONS
&
MARKET > SETTINGS > GOOGLE ADMOB ADS
This will disable the background service where market place continues to poll the google servers for information about new application versions that are out, and the current versions you have installed. Will help with GTALK_ASYNC_CONN partial wakelock but will NOT solve it entirely.
I hope this guide has helped, and I’m sure that more things will add or edited with time. But if this guide has helped in any way to solve your queries please click “Thanks” button below, and enjoy your better understanding of how your phone works from my point of view.
Cheers

Would you mind explaining what fast dormancy means? Presumably fast dormancy means a better battery life?
Fast Dormancy (to my knowledge) - is a specific function on the service providers (your phone company) end which allows the phone to switch network modes fast (3-6 seconds) where as having Fast Dormancy disabled allows phones to switch network modes 20-30 seconds or so....
What this means is that by having Fast Dormancy enabled AND the service provider can allow for faster 3G speeds and battery saving... however (again only to my knowledge from what i have read) if the service provider DOESNT support this function, the phone can be "polling" for instructions from the service provider as to which network mode to switch to, if the service provider doesnt support fast dormancy, this can decrease battery life AND decrease 3G speeds...
The service provider i use in Australia is called OPTUS and they (to my knowledge) do not support fast dormancy function, and therefore when i switch it off my battery life increases (only so slightly) and my 3G speeds increase substancially...
To test your 3G speeds with fast dormancy ON and OFF - use an applcation called: "Speedtest.net Mobile" - can be downloaded from here: https://market.android.com/details?...DEsIm9yZy56d2Fub28uYW5kcm9pZC5zcGVlZHRlc3QiXQ..
I usually run the test under these conditions:
* Reboot the phone
* Run the speedtest application 2 times (practice)
* Record the next 3 attempts
* Always pick the same time of day (as network congestion from day to day is fairly similar around the same time of day but differs throughout the day)
* Always choose similar weather conditions (as stormy and rainy weather actually decreases 3G speeds - again only slightly but enough to create bias in your results)
If any SMS's or phone calls or notifications (say from facebook or any other app) appears on screen, reset the phone again and try again - as this can cause a bias in the read outs....
This application is also very handy for testing specific modem files - such as the newest XXKI3 and XXKI4 modems to see which is better for your specific service provider and location.
Modem files can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
I hope this helps
Cheers

Hardly any usage at all mate to be honest, shows good idle time but what's the point of having a smartphone and not using it to it's potential?
On topic, very good thread lot's of useful information.
How to eliminate any residual files during a full-wipe ROM installation?
Once the .zip file is located on the Internal SDcard, enter CWM:
1) Boot into CWM (vol up + menu + power)
2) Wipe Data/factory reset (main menu)
3) Wipe Cache (main menu)
4) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
5) main menu > advanced menu > Reboot Recovery
6) Install ZIP from sdcard > Choose ZIP from sdcard > XXX.zip
7) Wipe Data/factory reset (main menu)
8) Wipe Cache (main menu)
9) main menu > advanced menu > Wipe Davlik
After flash the rom, must factory reset again?
Just for confirmation..
because i have to work to pay for the phone
Another thing I'd recommend is to inject toggle2g, options to switch to 2g while screen is off and more, I'm sure this will save some battery life as well especially when your screen is off and are in a bad signalled area.
Going to try this out tonight and test next week while at work to see if it works or not.
I've now got the 2000mah battery, so let's see how well this baby can perform for regular use.

I usually do, the reason why i wipe data again AFTER a new ROM has been installed, all depends on the ROM maker. There may be certain temp file/folders or scripts left behind. Doing another quick data wipe as well as cache and davlik afterwards can help to eliminate these residual files.
Its also the reason why a few people have issues with "not enough space" when moving from ROM to ROM - its very rare, but as ive said before, it takes about 30 seconds for all of the "excess" wipes - i believe its worth that 30 seconds before entering Android OS for the first time and start restoring your apps and settings, only to find out that theres an issue that could have been solved with the 3 wipes and then you have to go back into CWM - wipe them, and start again, costing you a vast extra amount of time to re-restore everything over again.
Basically they are just precaution measures. Not always necessary, but in my experience of testing a HUGE variety of ROM's and Kernel combinations, these are the small tips and tricks i have found to eliminate a few of the common issues that arise from messing around with vital ROM and Kernel files.
Cheers
you can also customize your display settings, setting shorter screen awake times and shorter key lighting time

Have just added 2 more in GREEN to the main page. Trying to eliminate partial wakelocks in betterbatterystats called:
Managewakelock:

&
GTALK_ASYNC_CONN
Will continue to do some research to try and cutback / eliminate as many partial wakelocks from the Android OS as possible. Will keep adding to the main page with dates to show progress.

Checking MD5 sums is good practice as well. Winzip, et al, can do it on your PC "show checksum" or a app like ES File Explorer, et al, can check MD5 sums under properties.

Slide 2 UnLock is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device.
Since there have been a lot of changes after v1.10, this new thread is opened for easy maintenance. The previous development thread is at here.
The original v1.0 was released from http://rychlicki.net/en/2007/04/01/174 on April 1. I only picked the SLIDE.EXE up & after copying & pasting some codes, it's now v1.17. Recent changes are:
v1.17 (22-6-2007)
1. fixed the bug of "ShowSpbWeather" when the weather source is not the default one
2. some bugs fixed
The followings only work on WM5/6 devices
3. added option "BlankOnTalk" - turn off the LCD when the phone call is talking. If you want to turn on the LCD, simply press the power button.
4. if SLIDE is already activated before a phone call is incoming, SLIDE will be hidden when it's ringing; and SLIDE will be reactivated after the call
5. no more polling jobs, all system state changes are handled by iLock now (using the SNAPI). The result will be more accurate & uses lesser power (uses lesser power also apply to WM2003 version)
6. added missed voice mail and missed MMS counts
v1.164 (17-6-2007)
1. "ShowSpbWeather" follows user's Spb Weather settings: which city is selected; C/F option
2. fixed the bug of potential hang up of Trinity
3. fine tuning on WM6 devices
4. if "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at woke up, SLIDE may quit by itself
5. added an icon to iLock.exe
6. some bugs fixed
v1.16 (10-6-2007)
1. added 2 little animatons, one you may love & one may not
2. if you have Spb Weather installed, set option "ShowSpbWeather" to 1 to show the current day's weather info
3. added option "AppointmentTimeFormat"
4. "ShowAppointment" now shows current or tomorrow appointment info
5. if your device's locale setting is Chinese, the date will now show in Chinese (but the Appointment details still CANNOT show Chinese characters) and the format is fixed
6. it now works peacefully with the OS built-in "Password/Pin Lock"
7. SLIDE behaves more inert to the "Phone" app
8. some bugs fixing
Start from v1.1, INSTALLATION is necessary! If you have used any other methods to make SLIDE.EXE runs on wake up event, please UNDO it before using this version. Read "How to use" for details.
If you want to show your appreciation, you may buy me a coffee by clicking here. Of course, send me a thank you message is also welcome.
Please read the README.TXT for the details & FAQ.

FAQs
The following files are included in this release:
SLIDE.EXE - frontend locker
iLock.EXE - background job; wait for right event to invoke SLIDE; provide system info to SLIDE
GFX (folder) - contains all the necessary graphics for the locker; fully customizable
readme.txt - this readme file
history.txt - history of Slide 2 Unlock
How to use:
=========
1. A simple 1 step INSTALLATION is necessary - use the CAB file to install, pls select the right OS version.
2. After installation, there are 2 shortcuts created under \Program Files\Slide2Unlock:
iLock.lnk - start/stop ilock.exe (on the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock & SLIDE)
Slide2Unlock.lnk - manually start SLIDE (be sure iLock is running in the background, otherwise the Battery status will not be updated)
3. A shortcut for iLock.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
4. Everytime you change the settings in the registry, please restart iLock.exe to reload the changes. HOW? Run the iLock the second time, it will close itself & the SLIDE. Then run it again to stay in the background.
5. To UNINSTALL, use the "Remove Programs" under Settings.
6. Installation on Storage Card is NOT supported (for the sake of stability).
7. For Smartphone users, you can unlock by pressing the D-Pad when "DpadOn" is set to 1.
iLock config (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock):
===========================================
1. the Date & Time format can be customized by changing the keys DateFormat & TimeFormat:
DateFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the date displays "Wed, Aug 31 94"
set DateFormat to ddd',' MMM dd yy
TimeFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the time displays "11:29:40 PM"
set TimeFormat to hh':'mm':'ss tt
Non-english devices may still have some problems for the format of the date/time, please use the most basic date/time format like:DateFormat set to d'/'M'/'yyyyTimeFormat set to H':'mmIf you do not want to have date/time display, just leave them blank.
2. After the unlock action, SLIDE.EXE can be sent to background if:CloseApp is 0
It'll further speed up the loading time of the next execution, but it'll eat up the memory (5MB). If you want it simply exits as version 1, set:CloseApp to 13. The speed of the button can be configured by setting:Speed to n (where n is 1, the slowest to 5, the fastest)
4. If your device has a VGA screen, to have better fit font, please set:VGAfix to 1

Wao A_C! You have done such a huge improvement to the programme.. Thanks a million! Great job.
OK, before I proceed to try out this new great version, just to confirm, it's POSSIBLE to remove 'iLock' from \Window\Start up after putting it there, right? Just follow the step 6) of your instructions to use/install Slide:-
6. to UNINSTALL, run the iLock under "\Windows\StartUp" a second time to close the SLIDE.EXE & iLock.exe. Then delete all files from "\Program Files\Slide2Unlock" and delete iLock.exe from "\Windows\StartUp".
After my last 'experience' of removing iLock from Start up folder, I am a bit concern of putting it back there.
Thanks A_C. There is a problem with v1.13. In V1.1 the battery indicator worked ( turned green) when I plugin my PDA to the Charger/PC. Now in this version it's no longer working. Cheers

Do you have iLock running?

Another question, will iLock execute itself upon softreset? Like you said the last round, there may not be enough time for the PPC to reboot properly esp if iLock is placed in the 'Start up' folder and 'Slide2Unlock' is set to auto-shut down within 5 sec.

Im also having the same problem. Battery indicator not working at all, whether it's plugged in or not.
Also, what's the difference between running iLock.exe and slide.exe??

That's why I've disable "OffLCD" by default. Besides, running the iLock under "Windows\StartUp" will not invoke SLIDE, iLock will only sitting there. And the recommended setting for "OffLCD" is 15 seconds.

As I said, I've rewrote the Battery Status & it's coded in iLock.exe. SLIDE will no longer actively polling the system for the Battery Status. Starting from v1.1, there is a very close workmanship between iLock & SLIDE. If you don't want to run iLock.exe, pls use the old version.

I am running the iLock.exe and the battery status still does not work. I have the app installed on my storage card. Everything works fine so far except for the battery status. It always shows the battery as being empty.
Very Nice Work.
I attempted to use previous versions on my apache and they eitehr didn't display the time correctly, wouldn't start up or would crash. This one seems to be a gem.
Many Thanks.
OK, Sorry- I've got the battery indicator working- my mistake- I've put the slide.exe in the startup folder before - Should Be Ilock.exe. Nice works and many thanks again.

Pls follow these steps for installation on Storage Card:
1. copy everything to your Storage Card's folder
2. copy iLock.exe to \Windows\StartUp (don't tell me you're not willing to spend just few kb of internal memory ), then run it.
3. edit the registry & change the key "Slide2UnlockPath" to the path specified in step 1 (must in full path)
4. run \Windows\StartUp\iLock.exe twice (i.e. to close & start again)
5. FINISH

Sorry, may I know whether it's ok to copy and paste iLock in Start up as a shortcut or must it be a duplication of the iLock programme in the Start up folder? Or there's no difference between this two?
Hi
I've tried paste 'iLock' as a short cut in Start Up folder. After changes to the Registry, I activated the 'iLock' twice but the screen background did not change. I've put the jpg file in the 'Res' folder, so I only need to change the file name, instead of the whole path. I've double check and there's nothing wrong with the new file name.
Would there be any problem if I first started off 'iLock' from the file in the 'Slide2Unlock' folder, instead of the 'Start up'? I accidentally activated iLock from the short cut I previously created on my iLauncher.
Or is this caused by the pasting of 'iLock' as short cut in the 'Start up' folder?

Just tried, the shortcut/lnk will not work. Pls don't make it too complicated - simple is beauty, right?
I really like this app, been following the thread for a while now trying the different versions, its going from strength to strength, i like it...
one small gripe tho, (really small) when can we have an icon for the ilock app? hehe something slidy and locky, would just polish it off me thinks, especially for those that have ilock as an icon on today screen.
Also, im using it on a Universal, can i replace the bitmaps with the correct res images? ie 640x480 format? and if i can is it possible you have the fish at those resolutions? Im not to really fussed if they consume a little more ram, think it would tidy it up a little more for us hi-res users.
And as another off the top of my head idea, as the registry is now used to store config, a v small config page would make life alot easier:
all in all i love it
Tried pasting iLock as application in Start up folder, but the changes to the background still doesn't take effect.
I've also tried '\Storage Card\Background.JPG' and it still didn't change.
[Edit] The path to the image was successfully changed in the Registry tho'.
I will update my post today, and maybe I will put a Chinese readme on it.
Works on My 2003 SE
Great work!! just found this App and love it
But are ther any update on GSM signal strength and Operator Name will NOT be available on WM2003 devices (but can be added manually) ?
tried the method
For WM2003/SE or non-mobile device, you may use this trick to show a fake operator name & signal:
- add this key to the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\state\phone"
- add the following keys:
"Current Operator Name" (REG_SZ)
"Radio Ready State" (REG_DWORD)
"Signal Strength Raw" (REG_DWORD)
But Not working for me, Thanks
Guys,
I've not been getting enough time to work on ShantzTodayChanger anymore (and couple that with the irritation of having to boot into windows just to work into this). The motivation levels are simply not there. I'm trying to see if there is someone willing to take up and continue development for this, so that I can release the source code. If anyone is interested, please drop me a word at the project's home page: Shantz Today Changer Home Page

This small tool will cycle ur today background or theme after a set interval of time.
Usage:
1. Make a folder on ur device (preferably not on storage card.) and extract all the files (mainly ShantzTodayChanger.exe, TdyChangerCfg.exe, gsgetfile.dll (might not be visible to u depending on ur explorer settings) and Readme.htm) to this folder.
2. IMP: Do not rename any files.
3. Run the TdyChangerCfg.exe.
4. Set options through the dialog that opens and press apply button (Pressing the native WM OK button will discard all your changes)
5. Options:
i)Choose image type (.gif\.jpg\.png) or theme(.tsk) to be cycled.
ii)If the input files (images or themes) are not in the folder where exes are kept, then you can check the box (underneath the .gif option) and give the "FULL and ABSOLUTE" path of where the files are kept. You can either input the path thru keyboard or choose it graphically by pressing the button (...) next to it.
iii)If you want to run a file after every cycle interval, check the corresponding box and provide the "FULL and ABSOLUTE" path of the file to be run. You can either input the path thru keyboard or choose it graphically by pressing the button (...) next to it.
iv) If you want some files to be avoided during cycling, put a file mask. The program will look for this mask to appear anywhere in the name of the files and will avoid it if found. (Wildcards are not supported. Choose time option has to be checked for this to work)
v) Choose the period for which mask option has to be used. If you choose a time period and leave mask as empty, then during that time no cycling will be done. If you want to avoid some files all the time, then time period should be chosen to cover all 24 hrs of the day.
vi)enter the desired interval between cycling of images\themes.
vii)If you choose a period for the mask, another check box (Consider mask period for exe also) will be enabled. Checking this box will mean that the specified exe will be run only if an image\theme is changed during that cycle. If you dont check this, then exe will be run after every cycle even if there is no change in the image\theme.
6. When you want to stop the cycling, press "STOP Cycling" button.
Additional Notes:
1. I've tested it only on my WM6 HTC Wizard and WM5 emulator. Might work with other devices/OS's but not sure...
2. Doesnt have to be running constantly. So saves resources when not active.
3. Survives soft resets as well.
4. Even takes care of the situation if your phone is off when the time to cycle is reached. Will cycle as soon as ur phone comes back on in this situation.
Planned Updates:
i) Suggestions invited. I have a lot of updates in mind but will incorporate those only which are requested by you.
Known Issues:
i) If the mask option is selected, then in a very particular situation, the app will miss a cycle.
This can be taken care of but not in my priority list because this can be fixed only by rewriting the complete cycling code which is quite a bit. So, will fix it if I get some time from my other projects.
ii) If after maknig the configuration, you see the screen flash for a second at the right times, but the backfround doesn't change, then do this:
- Go to : Settings...today....appearance
- un-check "Use this picture as background"
- start the program using "startTodayChanger.lnk" or TdyChangerCfg (Apply button)
(Thnx to CWKJ for reporting this bug and fix, and to eric for reminding me about it)
End Note:
Like every software, this one is also bound to have bugs, please report it asap.
Though ShantzTodayChanger does not run continuously but sometimes some apps that close all processes automatically (like SPB backup) might clash in schedule with ShantzTodayChanger and close it when it starts to run. In such a case (which is quite unlikely), the app might not be able to set a notification for next cycle, so if u face this situation, then run the config again.
Version History:
1.53 - 23-March-08 -> RECOMMENDED UPDATE

it may be interesting
nice release...will try it soon
Hey Shantz! thanks so much for this, unfortunatley it doesn't run on my Hermes!
And I don't know how to debug it so you can take a look at it.
Feature request: JPG or PNG support would be great. Also, a way to specify where the files reside, maybe command line? If argument is not present at command line, then default to install directory (program root)
Thanks Shantz!!
Dax.
@dax: well, I'll add a config module soon for the image paths etc.
Will see if jpg/png support is feasible enuff...
About the hermes, i'll send you a debug build and try to run that. But first of all, tell me whether you can find a registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShantzTodayChanger" and if its there then can you tell me the objects present inside it along with their values...

Hi
Just made this. This small tool will cycle ur today background / wallpaper after a set interval of time.
Usage:
1. Make a folder on ur device (preferably not on storage card. Its just 8KB anyways) and extract the ShantzTodayChanger.exe to this folder.
2. Copy the image files that you want to set as ur today background to this folder.
[bold]IMP:The files should be gif and moreover, the size (widthxheight) of the images should be taken care of by you in advanced, otherwise they might be stretched or cropped[/bold]
3. Run the ShantzTodayChanger.exe.
4. This will create two shortcuts in ur folder. startTdyChngr.lnk and stopTdyChngr.lnk.
5. Now just run startTdyChngr.lnk. The default time gap between cycling is 600sec. You can modify the shortcut to choose ur own time (in sec).
6. When you want to stop the cycling, just run stopTdyChngr.lnk.
Additional Notes:
1. You can create your own shortcuts if you want. Basically the ShantzTodayChanger.exe works on following command line arguments (without the quotes):
i) "-g 600" - start cycling images. replace 600 by ur own time in seconds. Keep it more than 1 minute preferably.
ii) "-s" - stop cycling.
iii) "-c" - cycle immediately. DONT USE THIS OPTION. MIGHT CREATE PROBLEMS.
2. I've tested it only on my WM6 HTC Wizard and WM5 emulator. Might work with other devices/OS's but not sure...
3. It runs only when wallpaper has to be changed. So saves resources when not active.
4. Survives soft resets as well.
5. Even takes care of the situation if your phone is off when the time to cycle is reached. Will cycle as soon as ur phone comes back on in this situation.

cool,
i was actually thinking of something like this...
feature request????
how about changing the entire theme....
(what i am planning here is having different themes during different times of the day)
along with it say can you make it check the time (say instead of 600s i would like to change it at 12, 3, 6 and 9...)
whole theme changer(tsk), which will change system solors would be WROBG
@fallenCzar: Whole Theme Changer isn't on the list right now...Maybe I can work on it when I get a few other things together first..
along with it say can you make it check the time (say instead of 600s i would like to change it at 12, 3, 6 and 9...)

Do you mean, you want to change it at a specific time of the day? Hmmm, I may try to include an option to specify the "cycle start time" along with the gap, which should take care of this...
not working on my o2 XDA II mini win 2003SE.it says not a valid pocket pc....
@Sathya: It works only on WM5 and WM6. I'll see if just a simple compilation for the WM2003 platform will work and let you know...
@ALL: Those who have tried it on their WM5/WM6 devices, please let me know if its working ok for you or not.
BTW, i've started working on a few updates, check in Post #1..I think I'll make two versions for this, a normal one and an extended one, so that those who want a smaller footprint can use the normal version...
Hey seem to be a nice work shantzg001, checking it out soon ...
Thnx Shailesh, did u get time to run it??
do not work on my Trinity
Shantz,
Just seen this. Many many thanks for your efforts here, most appreciated.
Not had chance to try it yet but most reports sem to be coming back that it doesn't seem to work on a Tytn/WM5 machine? What's your take on that?
Cheers
WB
Hmmm, it works perfectly on my WM6 HTC Wizard and the WM5 emulator as well...Not getting any time right now to look more..Will post a debug build tonight..But can someone please check the registry. I had said earlier also to check under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShantzTodayChanger, to report back what all settings exist there, after you have completed all the process...
Found some problems with the code...Have removed the utility till further notice...
Found out part of the problem by inspecting a colleague's device...Its because of how some devices behave to background change if themes are installed..
Will make the change when i go back home tonight and also see if there is any other problem...
Fixed the bug...It should be ok now for all WM5/WM6 devices..
With 1.11 it now works fine!
Is it possible to make it work not only with gif files but with tsk too

Video:
Possible problems :
The serial number is replaced by: Unknown or 1234
Solution :
To get your serial number, try:
1. Connect to Wi-Fi (you can create a WiFi hotspot in your phone and connect to it).
2. Make bluetooth pairing to your phone.
The serial number is generated by the MAC addresses of the WiFi and bluetooth modules.
3. Reboot after that the device 1 or 2 times!
You can reboot in the Settings Mod and click on the circle icon in the upper right corner. The reboot menu will appear.
Check if the serial number appears.
The Bluetooth application says that there is no license.
Solution :
1. Connect the device to WiFi to the WiFi access point of your phone, check whether the Internet is working on the device, for example, launch a browser and see if the Internet is working there.
2. Reboot. You can reboot in the Settings Mod and click on the circle icon in the upper right corner. The reboot menu will appear.
3. After rebooting, connect to the internet. Go to the bluetooth application and try to press the buttons there or click on the inscription where it is written that there is no activation.
Sound does not work or shows I2C error on every reboot
Solution :
Your DSP is incorrectly configured in the factory settings.
Go to Settings Mod - Settings related to the car - Engineering menu (password 0000)
and set up the DSP there.
My settings (you may have other settings !!!)
1. DSP Settings - Audio IC Type - BU37033 Series
2. Application Settings - Ess DSP or ROHM DSP
The work on the full version of the firmware mod is completed, the first release of version 1.0 is made. Please read the information under the spoiler "FULL Firmware Version Information:"
I ask you to excuse me in advance if I don’t often answer in the topic, since I’m physically not enough for all the time and I ask you to understand me! And we will help other users if you know the answers to questions!
Thanks @Malaysk. As Beta tester I am testing your ROM since some weeks on my Erisin (Leima MCU) and everything is fine!
Awesome. I have one of these units and very eager to test. However, I have some questions I hope a user can anser:
1. I have no original software for backup. Is it available somewhere in case this doesn't work?
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18-W_20200812-09:08_HD1_7708_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5C_C54_HA1_Xrc2-10-EN_2020-06-05-1726
2. If I take the power off of it, will it remember equalizer sound settings?
3. I always get a popup that my usb device want access. I can check a box to remember the setting, but after each boot it asks again... Is this solved?
4. Steering wheel controls programmable?
Thanks.
Hi Everyone
I've got the MCU down here, but i can't understand what Firmware i have to install, first or second?
Thanks!
Installed... thank you for the great work you have done. I have a problem with my canbus (ft-ss-05) now not available in the settings and those available lack the functions. Why are there no canbus models compared to the original Rom?

I try to answer to your questions.
1) You need a "backup" only of the Android Part. The MCU is untouched by this ROM. You need the reinstall the original SW. I don't know if this is straight away, after the Custom ROM installation. In any case, Here you will find several original firmware, search for the one for you unit:
https://yadi.sk/d/lBxQipoetfkMLw
You can find also a thread here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973677&st=0
2) If you remove the fixed +B, typically all the settings should be lost. I am not sure about the equalizer.
3) This happened also to me before I had installed the Malaysk ROM. It is a bug of the original FW. With the Malaysk ROM this issue is gone.
4) Only resistive for the moment, as the original FW one.
Installed, works amazing, I have only a big issue: using spotify, when i play next manually with swc (resistive) the song changes, but i have no audio, i need to press pause then play to get audio again... If the songs changes automatically after reaching the end no issue...
No one tested the ROM with YUNHT MCU?
What happen if i flash it? don't want to brick the unit

Thanks for all your help (and getting this organised).
Unfortunately I don’t see any xinrc roms there. But I’m too curious not to try. The confirmation checkbox for usb has been bugging me a lot.
I’ll try soon and report. Fingers crossed!
Great work! My unit has a 800x480 display, will the custom ROM work just as well?
Does this rom works with the same radio PX5 MCU S32F0 RK3368 with Android 10?

Rats! Is there a way to backup my current firmware so that if anything goes wrong I can go back?
did some testing today. Fcc launcher works. I miss the nice volume bar of the old roms. Where can I setup the delay for sleep mode? .Radio will not turn off.

These radio works differently from MCU MTCD based one with regards to the sleep philosophy. The are going in stand by and they will completely switch off only when the car battery goes under 12 volt. This is done to have a fast boot
