[Q] which latest ROM to use on I5801, and avoid battery drain?

I'd like install an good ROM ..
I currently downgraded from froyo to 2.1 eclair because foryo drained my phones battery very very fast
I'd like to know which ROM to use to have, like all features of froyo and which would give me two benefits : Low Battery Use and Faster Working..
plz can some help?
i am not much pro in these things..

First tell me how's your battery on Eclair? I predict you are using the stock eclair. Am I right?
In my view you should use any good modded ROM like Indroid, kyrillos, G3mod etc all these have nice speed + battery backup, our
you could try Destiny ROM as it claims stability and batt backup over performance.
If you prefer stock then try the deodexed stock roms.
As you have specifically mentioned that you are not a pro, there is a possibility that you are getting low batt backup because you haven't calibrated your batt after flashing the new ROM.
I advice you to deliberate the batt or run few cycles of full charge & discharge after flashing any new ROM.
Best of luck..

I've just downgraded .. so now currently charging it up .. lets see what happens..
What i hate specifically about eclair is that we can't install apps on sdcard
btw can plz tell.. what is OC version and non-OC version..
I have I5801 .. ie 667mhz phone and no GPU..
which one should i install?
also, if i install like Kyrillos ROM.. will i be able to install Froyo or Eclair back if i want to?

OC version is Over-clocked version and Non-Oc is Non-Overclocked version...
In OC version The kernel is tweaked and modified to give a higher performance..
and increase in the CPU freq....(i.e. 800MHz,1000MHz,1200MHz etc)
Non-OC version includes the Same 667mhz cpu freq....
OC gives u better performance as system gets very fast ..but it has its own Disadvantages.....
It's upto you to select OC or NON-OC version.....
If you are happy with the phone response and speed in Its UI then try Non-OC...
and if u want More performance then Try OC one.....
But Read each and every Risks that exists with OC

OC= over-clocked
Non-OC= non overclocked
I personally recommend you to flash the OC version, a unlike UN the non-OC version you have an option whether to overclock (eg- 1000 to 1200MHz) or you can just set the max speed close to the default clock-rate (eg-700-800MHz). & If u choose the OC version keep your calm & use the overclocking when you need it.
& yeah you can almost always revert back to your eclair when you wish.
I would also recommend you to use apps2sd by partitioning you're sd-card.
Best of luck

[Q] Overclocking without new kernel?

Hi. I want to overclock my i5800 but i don't want to install new kernel. I tried CM7 ROM and I liked more the original one.
So... Have any possibility to overclock without install a new kernel? Or... Install a kernel with ONLY a modification to overclock.

Since you are using CM7, you also have a new kernel.
The new kernel was required to make CM7 work.
If you also have Update 1 for Alpha 6 installed, I believe you can Overclock to 100 MhZ.
Dympy.

No. I'm not using CM7, I using a original ROM from samsung again. CM7 has a lot of fails at the moment.
I rooted my phone, so I can install kernels. But I don't want to change all kernel, only I wanted to overclock the CPU. It is possible? There is a kernel with the only change is the overclock?

First, you should flash new kernel ( recommend g3mod v2.2.1 OC). Then, install setcpu for OC. And link to download g3mod:
Code:
g3mod.com/g3rm/index.php?about=none

Yes, I know that if I install new kernel like g3mod I can overlock, the question is about don't change the original kernel....
Or the possibility to modify the original samsung kernel to ONLY open the possibility to overclock.

as far as my knowledge u wont OC ur process without install the kernel which supports over-clock...

You are saying that you want to drive a car at 400kmph but you don't wanna drive a veyron, and that's impossible
To overclock, you need to make some changes in the kernel, although it is possible to have a kernel with nothing more but overclocking, but why don't you use fugumod or g3mod.

I tried the CM7 ROM. And I don't liked the menus, the aspect, and the power button functions. I like how is from samsung, only I want more speed on CPU

I'm looking for the same solution! I like the original Samsung ROM, but I really want to overlock the CPU! I used Kyrillos' ROM v9.4, but I was not satisfied with it, so I've reinstalled the original ROM.
So pros, please give us a solution!

Flash a oc kernel with odin and keep your stock rom
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium

on my test mobile I have installed the XXJPU stock ROM
flashed the G3 performance 1.9 kernel, works perfect
by default the kernel runs at 800MHz
install setcpu (root required) and you can adjust the cpu
so in two words:
stock ROM with stock kernel -> no cpu adjustment possible
stock ROM with other kernel -> set your cpu in a range you like

SetCPU won't allow over 1000.

I see people writing about setting their Xoom CPU to 1504MHz and higher, but mine won't allow anything above 1000. Am I missing some setting in SetCPU?

Are you running a custom ROM or kernel that supports overclocking? If you're not then 1000 is your max cpu speed. If you are, then what ROM/kernel are you running?

I'm running the rooted stock ICS ROM. I thought maybe because it was a ROM it would allow overclocking. I suppose I'd have to run Tiamat or something like that to get overclocking. Not sure I'm up for the reinstall.
Thanks

yes you have to be running a custom kernel which you will not find with the stock rom. Other wise just use the profiles with setcpu those help with battery life even on the stock rom.

I think you can just flash the latest Eos kernel and leave your rom stock. If you have one of the custom recoveries, it's easy.

Hey everyone,
i have a doubt.. is ti safe to flash a custom kernel onto a stock rom... i want to flash an overclock kernel

Like fkrone said, it is safe but you should root your phone before doing this and install setCPU or pimpmycpu to control the CPU frequency and governor.

[Q]which kernel

Hello frends i am new to htc explore(not new to android).i am using stock indian rom with default kernel.i already rooted my rom.i want a kernel which work in stock rom and have NO bug and support ext partition and overclockable to more than 600mhz.thanks guys.

Welcome, there is no such kernel, mostly they are only 3 kernels for explorer, non of them works fine on stock rom, If you want stock, closest you can do is Ateeq's rom, then to clock it you have to flash yannou's kernel, which has OC but most of the guys sayed that it is fake OC, I think not but....... I'm a noob. So far what I figure out is cranium kernel, whit that you can clock it to 1307 which is fun for a while, but battery is just diyng with full clock. All of them supports ext partition.

Thanks.so cranium kernel work with stock Tom.

I have my doubts, anyway do a backup and try, I'm sure about yannou's and ateeq's they don't work with stock, when I tryed cranium, I've already forgot what stock was, so don't know but nowhere says that it wont, so it's up to you. My doubts are about stock, ti's odexed and that's why I'm not sure will it work corectly.

No kernels work with stock....only on custom roms..

I personally recommend to try CM9, I've installed it yesterday and I can say there wasn't bugs(oh yeah, there was something, when I used phone in USB storage mode(plugged in to computer) Google Play wasn't working properly, it was force closing on the app startup. But this is nothing).

Ok thanks.can you tell me what is the max frequency which our phone can hold without any kernel panic.??

Sorry, exactly now, I'm using default CM9 kernel, so I can't say that.

So default cm9 kernel is not overclockable?i assume that all custom rom have overclockable kernel?

I thought it too, but setCPU shows max clock 600Mhz.

Ok then its not overclockable.i will check.thanks

Oc is not a gud idea..du to hvy battery drain..cm9 with oc is available..but not a stable one...
