does it require rooting???
Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?
if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?
i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)
Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.
edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.
but what abt the battery issue...
it is the main problem of all...

Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?
it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.
this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.
Edit:
My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

is it a kernel or a rom...
and i saw the screenshots of this rom- CodenameDroid-(MOD)-1.2.0-NS
is this rom a good one....with faster performance and a good battery
tried ICS stock rom.
No battery problem. similar life compared with 2.3: about 1.5 days
but ICS is running slower than 2.3. Though speed still acceptable, but I want the 2.3 speed
@colocynth
Try the Matr1x Kernel und you will be fine....
Hi cloedu, I tried mv 2.1.28, using matrix kernel, if my memory is correct. Still not speed up, just like stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Formatting everything (system , boot , cache , data .....) in CWM recovery , then reinstalling stock ICS ROM made a day and night difference in battery life for me .... From 15 hours avarage to almost 1.5+ days ... Highly recommended...

same here bro..i use unkown kernal 1.3a.when i put it to charge it switches off or even when i speak a call it hangs..
suggestion:just remove and put the battery again..reminds me of the nokia phone days which hangs and we do same there:-(
any particular issue y it keeps turning off its hapeening only after i flashed new rom ...
is it hardware issue or software .... the problem is i have to keep checking the phone again and again if its on or its gone off quite irritating ..
and yes i keep on/off button long pressed and it restarts itself
This problem occurs particularly on stock ROM and that too on indian ROM...
Theres one ROM mentioned in the below url, where people didnt faced after flashing it. (May be Australian)
Check the link

i am not using stockrom ... using frank's 1.5
I think its a Kernel Problem. Try flashing Stock Kernel/Any other kernel..
Using Stock XWLA4 without any ROOT/CWM and just Stock Kernel..
Its great.. No hangs!!!
Yes the problem is not ROM. Its the Kernel. Not only Unknown Kernel. But all those kernels having Voodoo Sound are acting weiredly. It is draining the whole battery overnight in standby.
Now I have installed Ardatdat kernel 1.6. Lets see if thd problem resolves.

Yes it was the Kernel. I flashed Ardatdat kernel 1.6 and now Phone is working like charm. No deep sleep, no battery drain and not becoming unresponsive.

well i have done the same since yesterday and kept the cpu @ 1.3 ghz ... soo far its working wonderful ... will keep it on test for like couple of days and then come to conclusion if its good or not.
even after flashing kernel the issue still persists ..
maybe i need to change rom once agan any idea what can be done ?
I too have been facing the unresponsive issue a couple of times since I changed to 1.7b2 kernel but I thought it might be because of the apps I installed..

Can you update me what they say... Ok maybe a noobie question just was trying to check the binary counter and below is details i get from ODIN3 download mode.
Custom Binary Download : No (0 counts)
Current Binary : Samsung Official
does this means i can flash back stock Indian rom and take it to service center and my warranty still holds firm ?

Yes you can flash Stock Rom and do factory reset before taking it to Service Center and any repair will be covered under warranty...
I'm getting the same deep sleep problem as the others. It started after I flashed the v1.3a Ultimate kernel. But since i also dropped my phone that day (Not hard, but still), i was scared.
I'm using the stock DDKH4 India 2.3.5 ROM
I will try changing the kernel and give an update.
Hello mates, I have some questions about battery life. Actually, I am wondering how can I extend battery life ? I've installed Juice Defender Ultimate and some of my friends said that I must install the kernel which has undervolting feature so I'm looking around for a ROM which has undervolting kernel and I need your help about this topic. Not restrict yourself about kernel stuff, everything about extending battery life is acceptable from me. Thanks a lot !

try this method on how to flash any ROM.... this is effective for all custom roms....
(btw, i'm on HBoot: 0.98.2000 (PG8810000) ENG s-off and using 4EXT Touch Recovery)
1. Boot into recovery
2. Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)
3. Format Data
4. Wipe Cache then Format Boot
5. Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Next if you have some wiping utility like Full Wipe 1.5 Ext4 for Saga.zip (I used the FULL WIPE DS by ronks888)...run that by selecting install zip from sd card and installing the zip...
7. Now flash the rom
8. Flash any kernel (I skipped this as there is already a kernel install on every custom rom unless you have other kernels that you're using)
9. Now reboot (Note don't flash any tweaks like transparent notification except gapps if required)
10. Now setup your phone
11. Reboot into recovery again (after setup your phone - after clicking the finish button part)
12. Now go into advanced then chose fix permissions and then install any tweaks you want (Note whether mentioned or not always wipe Dalvik Cache before installing tweak zip) - I didn't install any tweaks so all I did was fix permissions
13. Reboot (everything would work perfect 100%)
For a great battery life, try using the instructions below after following all the steps 1-13 above...
1. Use the phone till battery is less than 10% (after every fresh install)
2. Now charge it till it gives green light and shows 100% battery (some roms shows green at 90% so check if battery is 100%)
3. Now switch off the phone and charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)
4. Finally boot into recovery and wipe battery stats in the wipe/format menu.
5. Reboot (you will see a BIG difference in your battery life)

anyway, I am also having a miserable battery life.. can't last more than 10 hrs with frugal use..
but I have been using it for a year and a half and have not been taking care of my battery.. So probably it is nearing the end of its life and starting to "drop"..

It might not be the Rom, you might have apps that drain the battery, install better battery stats and get a better idea what might be draining the battery. I get about the or four hours of heavy use. Games internet video etc

Install better battery stats, see exactly what is keeping your phone awake, there's a thread for it on xda, you'll also get help with figuring out what and how to improve your battery

hello, i have uploaded my rom to ICS and have it been using for the past 4 months
last week i came in to the issue of the battery status being unknown, 999% or 1000% battery power
i've fixed this issue in the past by flashing the rom
but this time i have trouble, it seems that ever time now that the phone is powered off and powered back on the battery status returns to 999%
i have uploaded the rom egb-nightly-2012-07-01-signed on my phone and no matter how many times i flash the battery status is lost
so i am here wondering if there is a simple fix to this, downloading a apk file or anther way to configure the phone so it will read my battery status or do i have to simply buy a new battery?
please help and thank you in advance
You sure you did the flash right?
Sent from my G2X using EaglesBlood build 5
Did you reset batt stats in recovery?
Also when this did happen to me, i was always told to just cycle AP mode, and it did work.
Yours seems more persistant though.
I would make sure batt is fully charged (charge it with phone off if your that unsure) and than first boot goto cwm and clear batt stats.

wipe dalvike cache - Done
and this time im also wiping battery stats - Done
installing egb-nightly-2012-07-01.zip - Done
wiped again in rom install file
installing gapps-ics-20120420=signed.zip - Done
phones first boot----battery status set 100%
unplugging phone now and rebooting - battery still reading 100%
reboot #2 - battery reading 100%
reboot #3 - battery reading 100% problem maybe fixed
if issue continue i will carry on with this forum
i seem to be having trouble with the quick reboot now... seems to be just powering down my phone....
I've had trouble with the reboot before in eaglesblood and to be frank I think its normal to some degree for most roms. As for the battery problem I've noticed in my experiences that if something like that were to occur it usually dealt with my kernel but I mostly run 7.2 and not ICS so there maybe some differences here.

thank you for the response
last night i modded the dpi and installed the market mods and rebooted the phone and the phone battery info crashed again...
anyways today i flashed my phone loaded a older version of ICS, reboot my device and the battery status is still working after i changed my dpi, for some reason i feel the issue is fixed now but i will post in the future if this issue carries on
thank you
ok i was updating framework animations and yet my battery went back to 999%... WTF
why is it doing this?
ive never had so much trouble with my phone
what am i doing to the phone that it makes it do this
i ask again could this be just battery issues?
I had a lot of issues with the phone reboot myself. That sounds crazy. My only issue I had was the date and time would not sync off my Sim card. Seems like a lot of people don't like the eb rom and I don't know why cuz I love it.

i am currently running cleanrom 5.0 and flashed the ktoonz kernal kt747 and needed help with the KTweaker app that was installed with it, im a noob with roms, kernels,etc.., ive been learning a lot and fell confident flashing and all but can anyone help me with the settings in the KTweaker app, im mainly looking for battery performance and this kernel was reccomended but after 1 day of running it my battery performance was horriable, thank you in advance for any help.
I'm on cleanROM 5.0 also. I tried the other kernals but ended up flashing the rom over again and kept the default kernal as I am getting great battery and performance. 14 hours and 19 minutes at 20% battery, with 4 hours of screen on time. If this helps any. I know you were asking about ktoons but thought I would give you this.
thanks i liked the battery performance on cr5 just fine, just was trying to get a little more, and like i said im still a noob can i dirty flash the cr5 or do i have to clear everything like when i first flashed rom?
All I wiped was both the caches and flashed the roms again. All my apps stayed. Everything works like a charm.
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock phone... I have not changed recovery because I want the updates....

No you cant. And for the reception part there is nothing you can do other then flashing a ICS radio with odin but then I think your ota will fail too. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

Hey everyone,
After trying almost every single ICS ROM available for my O1 P500h, every ROM seems to have the same problem. Although they all run very good, the phone will just hang at random points, but mostly when installing apps. Then requires a hard reset battery pull, or will reset itself after about a minute. Does anybody know of a solution to this? It wouldn't really be that much of a problem if the phone didn't take so long to restart.
I've seen other users report this problem to ROM dev's as well however the problems seemed to be fixed for them by a newer update for the ROM, but even if I use the newest version I still get this problem.
It's not present on CM7, or Jelly Bean (4.1 or 4.2) ROM's as far as the ones that I've tried. I feel like I've tried every single ROM for this phone already. I wanted to move on from CM7 because of it's lack of new-ness compared to ICS and above, and on the other hand Jelly Bean ROM's don't have a lot of internal storage compared to ICS ones, which is a problem for me because I download lots of apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The stock kernels which come with the ROM's, which allow you to overclock the phone to 800-something MHz. I never use the overclock though and keeping it on 600MHz that comes out of the box still has the problem. With GB I'd overclock it to 729 for normal use, and on JB 748 for snappier performance with no bad things happening (well, besides battery life)
