OK. Thanks. I don't know if there are anything or guide yet, but I hope there is one for newbie.

Here's what I want to do:
1. Backup my phone. Every damn thing.
  1.1 First I root my phone using superoneclick.
  1.2 Then I install ROMManager and use it to do a backup.
  1.3 Then now I get a file .zip or .tar, which I save into my PC just in case.
2. I wanna try custom ROM
  2.1 I download ODIN and Litening ROM, or the new stock 2.3.4 ROM.
  2.2 I use ODIN to flash new ROM into my phone.
  2.3 All works out, fine. If I don't like it, I can use ODIN to flash back my backup I made earlier.

IS the above all correct? Thanks a million sifus.

1.1-2.2 = correct
2.3 = if you wanna flash back, use your CMW to recover.

i backed up my rom using CMW and restored using CMW. now running Litening 2.1 everything works fine!!

Hi all Sifus,

i am using Litening 2.1. after fully charged, the phone was untouched for whole night with wifi, gps, 3g on. the battery result goes here. i was wondering why the google maps is running so high % since i didnt run it. could it be the latitude apps i set that auto syncing for whole night? other then that i am satisfied with this rom..

thanks.

Anybody on Lite'ning 2.1? There are mixed reviews about it on xda so I thought I'd share my opinion.
I just flashed my phone to 2.1 this morning. I was coming from 1.5 -> 2.0 -> 2.1 and I must say, I'm not having any problems so far.
As for the battery life, I thought XWKG1 would not be any better, I was wrong. Phone only lost 1% of its battery life in 4 hours while on idle.
Battery drains up normally while on medium/heavy usage. Liking it so far as it really suppresses the battery usage of the system while you're not doing anything.

Mine, 8hrs on idling = -12% btty. blush.gif
Jer's, 4hrs on idling = -1% btty. rclxms.gif

i can see the phone awakes itself when idling, probably caused by the Maps.. any idea? thanks.

i think so..
my baseband version I9100 DXKF1
kernel version 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKDD-CL161513 ROOT@DELL103#2
but i still get yellow triangle cry.gif

the yellow triangle is nothing..if you want to remove it..flash stock kernel or buy a USB Jig..

another method quoted by Chainfire to remove yellow triangle but remain CF Root Kernel:

It is definitely possible to remove that pesky warning triangle during boot when running a custom kernel, though you should be well aware that this method does NOT reset the custom kernel flash counter. The steps are not complicated, but they aren't easy either, so read well.

(1) Make sure you have CF-Root flashed (see the first post). You must have the "CWM Manager" app available.

(2) Make sure you have the same version of CF-Root extracted until you have the zImage file. (ZIP --> extract --> TAR --> extract --> zImage).

(3) Push the zImage file to /sdcard . It must still be called zImage !

(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)

(5) Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or boot the device with home and volume-down pressed)

(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel

(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.

(8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot.

(9) You will now notice you no longer have the warning triangle during boot, but you are actually running CF-Root with all it's goodies!

(10) In the future, if you only use the Flash Kernel option inside CWM Manager instead of ODIN, the triangle will not return, neither will your flash counter increase. But keep in mind, that CWM Manager can only handle a direct "zImage" if you are NOT running a kernel with full busybox support (this is currently needed for flashing kernels out of .TAR and .ZIP files)

All right. I always drain til 0 then do a full charge then battery calibration. Can I actually skip the drain to 0% (cos now I got like 50% juice. Can I charge to 100% then battery calibration and reset battery stats?


Added on July 16, 2011, 9:28 amGuys, about Titanium Backup Pro. Does your phone reboot itself after a full backup completed?
