Flashed v38 kaosfroyo and phone lasts 2 hours

[projektorboy]

i am completely new at this, how do flash that cfsv6 file over KaosFroyo v38? i already saved the .zip file to my computer but now im not sure what to do

Flash it the same way you flashed KaosFroyo. Make absolutely sure that you wipe your cache & dalvik cache or you risk even more issues.

 

[my77stang]

yeah, and i liked the cfs stuff better anyways... just picked up an lg ally - anything decent out there for it yet?

 

[eris94]

so i did the CFS stuff. I falshed it like i did with the KaosFroyo i also wiped the cache & dalvik-cache. today the battery completely died and now when i try to turn it on, it doesnt go past the skateboarding droids. but if i want to go to the boot menu it does that without a problem

When you wipe the delvik cache, the first boot can take several minutes. Make sure your battery has a good charge, rewipe your cache and delvik cache, and reboot agian. Give it 5 minutes before you start to worry.

Similar thing happened to me, I rewioed and reflashed rom to be safe and never had prob again

I personally feel cfs v8 has some weird issues with kf, and unless your using Collins ph batt tweak or any gscript you can add the cmds to start up the processes to start up apps2sd at boot its quite difficult to get started, i would suggest using cfs v6. guy with booting problems, make sure you are doing a factory reset, dalvic wipe, flash kf38, dalv wipe, flash cfs v6, factory rest, wipe dalv, boot
if that dosnt work you may want to flash the ruu then reroot, that will flash stock recovery over amon ra then flash a fresh copy of amon ra, just incase cfs v8 corrupted your amon ra, its been known to do that and result in a boot loop, egh but before you do that check md5 hash sums and make sure your not working with a corrupted dl

Android ROM Site

The above link is to Conap's download page. His CFS kernel is now up to v8 and it's completely safe to flash.

When updating the kernel (especially since you've had battery issues) there are 3 very important things you must do when you reboot into recovery to do the flash:

1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik
3. Wipe Battery Stats

Since the previous battery-draining kernel threw all the battery calibration data out of whack, you'll need to wipe battery stats & discharge your battery completely a few times for your phone to re-learn how the battery is supposed to go. That will maximize battery life for you.

Please note that because you wiped the system cache & Dalvik cache, rebooting your phone into the OS after installing the kernel will take longer, up to five minutes. This is normal.

In addition to all this, you will want to go to the Applications menu under settings and clear data for the Camera. Reboot after clearing the data, and your camera should be a lot more stable.

When you say to select "Wipe Cache" does that mean select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"? What exactly does that do? Do I need to backup beforehand or restore anything upon rebooting?

wipe cashe is wiping dalvic cashe, should be a choice in the same menu with in amon ra, you can also wipe individual apps cashe by going too setting -manage applications- choose the app and there should be choices to uninstall, move to sd, clear cashe, clear data, ect. please trust me kaos froyo dose not work well with cfs v8, kaos v38 dose not have loop support, nor dose it include a gscript to start the uid that was compiled separate with the cfs v8, in other words you wont have apps2sd, with out adding the cmds to a script that runs at boot, and even then to you will loose wifi because the only available script that will run at boot is collins_ph battery script and it breaks wifi. we tried and tried to mod the zip to add the calls to init.rc without breaking wifi but with no luck ...trust me flash cfs v6

Tnx Rigby, sorry for being out of the loop on the technical jargon in your reply but you kind of lost me. I don't know what amon ra or collins_ph is. What I do know is that I flashed KaosFroyo V38 and my battery life is not very good. I also have SetCPU and have configured it to my liking. I turned off most of the battery draining GUI stuff too.

So to hear you correctly, I should get CFSv6, wipe ONLY the Dalvik cache, wipe the battery stats, then flash the CFS zip?

yes, sorry I went on a rant there, amon_ra is the recovery you have if you used the eris one click root by jcase, and is highly recommended given the track record that clockwork has for bricking phones. collins_ph battery tweak is a script that works very much like set cpu but with out the gui, its all run in a terminal emulator, it gives you a little more control in some areas like how often the script pings for the state of the phone and some aspects of how the scheduler works, but as i stated before it dosnt work well with kaos froyo, but yes download cfs v6, put it on the root of your sd card, boot into recovery go to wipe/wipe dalvic cashe then volume down and go to flash zip from sd card, navigate to cfs v6 and flash, then wipe dalvic cashe again and boot. You battery life will greatly improve and after a few reboots your camera and gallery should work with no issues. Also just as a warning the setcpu widget will make your phone very unstable, dont use it. and with set cpu, id suggest keeping your max clock at 710, other wise your battery life will suffer, 764 is the highest your going to want to go with overclocking before youll start to see some horrible performance issues. but 710 is over clocked, our phones were originally clock at 528 i think..., a good set up ive found is full/charging 710-245 (or lower but bringing it all the way down to 19x can result in your cpu jumping speeds) screen off at 4xx-19x(bumb up to 122 if you exp. issues like music skipping or missed calls at 19) then 528-19x for batt under 35% and 480-19x for over heating, all ondemand, ive gotten up to 30 hours on this set up with no loss in function, just as snappy as a clean install. you know how to recal your battery? you cant just wipe battery stats, you have to fully charge with your phone off, wipe battery stats, let the phone drain until it dies and you can no longer turn it back on, charge fully while its off (best way to be sure your fully charging is to wait 1 hour after the green light comes on)

For the record, MAKE A BACK UP BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!!!!

It will only take a couple minutes, but it will save you HOURS of frustration.

Wiping the Cache partition is entirely different than wiping your Data partition.

In computing, the entire purpose of Cache is just a temporary place to keep data in a way that doesn't affect the data that needs to permanently stay around.

It sounds like you may (hopefully) be running ClockworkRecovery on your Eris. Wipe Cache should be an option after Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Wiping the Dalvik Cache involves going to the Advanced Menu too.

You need to make a nandroid back up before changing things on your phone, especially flashing themes and kernels. MBP and TB wont be able to help you in a boot loop scenario.
