I am now using test-1 without battery problem.
Yesterday I upgraded to test-2 but the connection problem never fix even I pushed the old libhtc_ril.so back.
Thus, I want to restore to test-1.
1. I first flash the test-1 rom
2. flash the gapp
3. nandroid restore to test-1 image
4. flash the test-1 rom and gapp again
This fixed the problem, I have been staying at 99% for 1.5 hours.
I don't know if the steps above really fix it but I only did these and finally using test-1 without battery problem
Lol so let me get this straight, u flashed the rom, extracted nandroid images and essentially replace those same files with another copy, then reflashed the rom. Where in this do you see the battery resolution lies ?
I think you wiped your battery stats and thats why you're noticing an improved battery life.
Other than that if im missing something please enlighten because the 4 steps could be replaced with one step. NANDROID ONCE.
Does this make sense to anyone? I don't get it lol, I don't see the solution at all. It's basically nearly the same as flashing test1 (without your nandroids and stuff) and your battery probably hasn't refreshed yet. Just because it has lost 1% in 1.5hrs, doesn't mean it'll last 150 hours. (Hopefully my math didn't fail there!)
Corroboration?
Has anyone else tried this? I'm at work, but I can try it when I get home, or maybe on my lunch break.

Hello
I confirm the above method also works with Bart backup, 1:30 after the battery is down to less than 1% having used a little video,yesterday in the night before, she fell 70%.
I thank you because it works on my G1.
Sorry for my bad English
so lemme get this right you went back to test 1 to do this, then reinstalled test 2 or just left test 1 on there?

hello
I installed my Evolution based on the test2, Bart did a backup, then reinstalled and over and re-flashed my evolution with libhtc_ril.so of test1 and my problem is solved battery for two now.
Thank you again.
See you

My apologies for not putting the "known" into a cute, cuddly teddy bear, wrapping it up into a box with a big pretty pink bow on top. Then handing it to you and wishing you the best of time in life.
Sorry, I'm telling you like it is. If you followed cyanogen, or just about any other important dev, or even did some searching, this problem was already address a while back, and had a solution (as per the one I just gave you). So, I continue to tell you, and the rest of the people who are indeed, idiots, that they are, in the hopes that one day they will rise up, stop scratching their heads, and realize they are in fact, and idiot.
Now I feel that if I do this enough, maybe the rest of the world will get their thumbs out of their asses and actually make some kind of the change in the world instead of constantly looking for invalid solutions, an asking questions that have already been answered. I put a donation button their for the people who get this, and are not idiots. So thanks for pointing out your own stupidity, you saved me a hell of a lot of work.
Now, can we continue to browse these forums, and not get our panties in a bunch because big, mean, tehseano told you like it is, and just continue to search and read, and learn a little more about Android every day? Well thats what I'm going to do, but you're more than welcome to sit back and comment on this, which I'll probably get a giggle or two out of, and let the rest of my members of #teamdouche and my followers get a kick out of it.
ok
i'm sorry

In my opinion, Booker-T is just sharing his experience on how he got his battery to operate normally. There's no reason you should be calling everyone above your first reply idiots. Personally, I tried the battery recalibration fix off the Cyanogen Wiki with both test1/test2 with no success. There's a 30 minute drive between my house and the University I attend and my battery has gone down from 97% (when I backed out of my garage) to 82% (when I parked on campus).
I'm not trying to complain about my battery issue because I will find a solution soon enough, but rather address your rudeness to the other members. I've read thorough the Cyanogen 5.0.7 thread on this forum and on several others and from what I've seen, there's numerous people that say recalibrating their battery did not solve the problem for them.
Now before you go on to make another post about how we're all idiots, I advise you take a step back and think about the context of the situation: you're calling us idiots because recalibrating the battery didn't work in our cases and Booker-T shared the way he fixed his.
What worked for me was....
turning off the battery percentage display through spare parts. After I did that, my battery life pretty much went back to what it was pre 2.1 on my G1.
Sometimes there is no single solution to a problem. The last time I recalibrated my battery was when I first got this dinosaur of a phone last year.
You're all idiots by the way. j/k
Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't see how that is really accomplishing anything. Flash Test1, then gapps, then nandroid, then restore. I unplugged 7am this morning and am still @93% with light use.
Recalibrate your battery's people.

Hello everyone. I want to thank you all for this site, I have learned a great deal here and appreciate all your efforts. I have a question that many new comers have asked and they have been told to go read, so thats what I will do. I want you to know tho that its very hard when you have a baby, and very little time. I also want you to know that the only times I am really productive getting somewhere with my phone is staying up till like 4 am because everyone is asleep and I have the time needed to dedicate to all this reading, trying and learning.
I am not complaining, in fact I am grateful because I am getting somewhere thanks to your help, which has been more valuable than all the help Samsung and Rogers have given me washing their hands clean and leaving me with a defective phone. My problem has not been solved just yet, but I think a 2.2.1 rom will fix my problem. Ill keep reading and trying, ill get there.
I suggest you guys have a wikipage with a table with all the roms, what versions of android they are, what kernels, modems, etc they work with ( or not work with ), bugs, features, something all in 1 page for easy access. This would make it easier for people to access information. The easier it is the more people will use them and come here, the more ideas you will have, the more testers, its a win win situation!
I have been to the pages for all the roms, some of them tell you the bluetooh voice dialing is not working, most don't, id have to go looking for my answer. I have learned that for instance it seems people do not have an issue with it with froyo 2.2.1 but again, some roms tell you in the main page its 2.2.1, others don't.
I can't grasp all the information staying up at night till 4 am. Its the only time I have. I almost had a heat attack when I thought I bricked my phone, I can't afford another one. If all the important information is right there on 1 page, like links to the usb drivers, tools, roms, kernels, everything. Have the instructions to flash. Have a table with all the roms, their versions, what versions of kernels, modems, etc, they do ( or dont ) work with. maybe even some of the table cells are clickable, for instance bugs, click on it and a window pops up with a list of them.
I know all this information is in here somewhere. Thanks to everyone for it, but it needs to be on 1 page. Please make it easier for people who are new to this. You will benefit as well as them. Looking forward to being able to use voice dialing. I think it will be working by tomorrow or after tomorrow thanks to you guys. I could have done it in a day if all the information was right there .
Thanks for reading.
Try searching.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897
I have that bookmarked. It is also a sticky in this section.
But it doesn't say for instance which ones are 2.2.1, or which ones have the terrible voice dialing over bluetooth..
I do search and end up with over 15 tabs...
I am getting by, I am just saying it could be organized better for everyones benefit. It could be made so someone who has never done this before can get it done in a couple of hours if even, without keeping asking you the same questions here. I understand why people keep asking to recommend a ROM. It is not they they do not search, not all of them anyway. Things can be better organized.
I hear what you're saying, I think it's just that within the course of a month, about 20 ROM's have been released, if not more. And no one has had time to update the wiki.

The thing is that its not just the number of ROMs, but also the number of versions that are released. It would be a real pain and an added overhead for anyone maintaining it.
Also note that most devs are working too, and doing this in their free time. The little time they have to spare is taken up for making improvements. But they do release changelogs to look into.
If anyone has time, I would suggest they take it up to create a wiki and maintain it, rather than relying or asking the devs to do it.
Try capfaq.com it has a ROM table section, and I've used it alot.
Same issues with being 100% up to date, but it's the best Rom table format I've seen.

Thanks guys, I will check that table out tomorrow.
It'd be nice if there was a modem chart as well. I know there are modems in the modem thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272
...but near as I can tell it's not up to date, or at least the first page is not up to date (ie base Cognition runs on JL1 and Andromeda on JL2, but aren't on the first page).
If anyone knows a good and current modem reference guide, please let me know.
I can't complain too much because obviously things change all the time and it's a PITA to constantly update info...I'd volunteer but I got a 2 year old and baby 2.0 due in April.

How? What happened?
I have no Idea what I did wrong, my goal before I started was getting voice dial over bluetooth working for me, its essential to me. It started with trying to install paragon, as per http://www.capfaq.com/w/ROM_Table mentioned above.
I was stock rogers 2.2 so I wiped it clean, and tried the update thing, it didnt work. The only step I skipped was flash to stock and the master clear since it was 2.2 recently and I did the factory wipe. It did not work but I did not brick anything just yet. I figured most people tell you to flash with the one click odin which puts stock at&t on it. I did that and the phone stopped going into download and recovery, it did not stop completely i have gone into download and recovery a few times after that but it was a battle with my phone, since it was booting, I used adt instead which worked like a charm. at&t rom was not happy on my phone, it was going into at&t reboot loops where it would just reboot the bios over and over. after trying and trying it would boot android, i was trying to fix it but each time it restarted the reboot loop would kick off. I could not go to recovery or download mode till i finally got back into the OS and used adt to tell it to go to download mode where i reflashed my stock rogers.
My phone now had at&t logo on boot before rogers, which is not that bad but i had read you can get rid of it, i tried going into download mode with the buttons but didnt try too hard, adt was easier.
I was following these instructions :
http://www.mmacleod.ca/blog/2011/01/removing-the-att-boot-screen-from-a-samsung-captivate/
it wanted me to use odin to flash a file. I used my oden 1.3, i think he says oden 1.0, I didn't think it would make a difference.
Odin started to flash and said fail. I got the screen with "android ! computer", I have been there before when I first ever tried using odin and had to fight with my phone to get to download mode at the time ( this was before at&t ever came close to the phone, i never used odin before so i probably had trouble because of inexperience ).
anyway, this time no matter what I do I cannot go to download mode, I plan on making a jig today if i find someone who sells resistors in this little town.
any help would be appreciated. I dont want to put any more roms on my phone, i just want it to work. I am worried. Ill wait till samsung releases 2.2.1 I just want my phone back to the way it was when I bought it
As the person who write most of the documentation for Team Komin (the developers who make Andromeda), I would say this would be an immense pain. copying all of our information from the website, formatting it into wiki form and then posting it would be very time consuming.

True, but once done, it would be much easier to maintain and navigate. There is going to be a lot of crossposting and people asking for insight and advice.
I'm sure we all understand the search feature in the forum, but to be honest things change topic within a thread, and where someone asks a question that is somewhat unrelated and gets a very good answer, it is not always apparent by poking through page after page of posts to find that nugget of gold. I mean, searching for 'kernel' will give literally thousands of hits. A wiki would be much better in terms of 1. Where you are starting out from 2. what you need to do what you want 3. where to find these things, and 4. maintaining updates and version revisions.
I really appreciate all the work people do here, and I have had to find everything I wanted to know the 'hard' way, but as Android grows in popularity and market percentage, more and more people are going to come here looking for this information. Pobably better to do it sooner than later.
Hello all,
I just got my gtablet today. While I have done my homework, I seemed to have come a bit late to the party.
All the threads and mods are a bit overwhelming.
I'm not afraid to do a bunch of the stuff listed...however I do want to make sure I have a proper back up and know how to use it.
Can someone please give me a quick break down on how to back out the current stock software and how to reinstall it if the **** hits the fan?
Do I need to download something or do I back it up on the device?
Thank you in advance.
several posts in past two days explain this in detail

It will take a little more than 5 minutes to do your research.
My experience over the years has taught me that doing your own research is far more rewarding than having someone else do it for you and hand everything to you on a plate.
You can take it at your own pace, and you will get a far more rewarding experience of your tech if you put the effort in. Not only will you learn more, but you will discover other things as you search for the answers. This is truly mind expanding stuff, but it requires effort.
And that's the point of Android I find - if you don't want to make the effort and you want someone to do everything for you then buy a product from Apple. They are the masters at making things easy...as long as you are prepared to do things their way, and not expect too much from your device.
Android is flexible and configurable, but that means thinking, exploring and discovering things yourself.
If you're not comfortable then don't do anything. Read, read and read some more until you get comfortable - then act. That is the safest way to avoid problems as well as rewarding you with knowledge and understanding.
Good luck in your quest.

Uhm.....uhm......I am not thinking so.....I used a method which used Odin....I started in I think recovery mode, by holding power and volume up, then switched to volume down, and selected a recovery file that I had put on my Sdram card, it did it's thing, and now I notice I have super user capability. I then installed supersu and quickboot . And that is where I am at. Pretty much.

Ok, go in to recovery mode volume up+power and see what it loads, if it is cwm, then you can select backup, I backup to my extsd because it takes up a lot of space on internal sd, then reboot. If not, then search for install cwm on the forum. I can explain later, but am on vacation visiting the parents, so I can't guarantee how timely my response will be.
I hate to waste ur time over something that there is so much info on already. my issue is the low space msg. I have spent the past week reading and re-reading all the threads. The links for clockwork and unrevoked r dead ends. i have googled those files and i cant seem to find what i need. Im ready to pull all my hair out, and when im done doing that i think i may find a stick and poke myself in the eye, its gotta be less painful than trying to root this phone. I have put about 50 hours into this project and i am no closer to rooting my phone today than i was when i started. I love this phone, as a matter a fact i just bought it off ebay and changed from my iphone 4s to the incredible. i bought a 64g sd card thinking that would solve the space problem, and well as you know it didnt. Is there anything else u can tell me that might solve this issue? or help me with the files i need. anything??? Not being able to root this phone and complete this project i started is making me CRAZY!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time, and i completely understand if u call me an idiot and demand i step away from the phone!! !Hahahahahahaha
