These phone is very good now. It does everything i want especially in controlling remote PC from anywhere. I don't really care about the pink spot issues as i don't expected it to be very perfect. As long it can entertain you no matter where you are.

1. Make sure you have your phone rooted. Normal and easy way is via CF root (Check xda forum for CF series).
2. Backup!
3. Place the VR files into your sd on your phone.
4. Off phone
5. Volume up, home button and power all at same time - this will go into CWM recovery mode
6. If you have back up, choose back up.
7. Once done, select - clear data, clear cache and go to advance, select clear dalvik
8. Now, select Install update from Zip or something like that.
9. Scroll to the VR zip and select it.
10. Wait for boot up. Will take awhile.
11. If it stuck at loading / bootloop, off phone, and wipe and reflash back via CWM.

There you go.

Good battery life:
Ninpo and SpeedMod. SpeedFrey, haven try yet.

Battery life at the cost of:

a) No logcat/debug functions IINM ("useless developer features")
b) No user definable UV values

Sticking with Nymph thank you (for now at least), I NEED the debug functions so that Smart App Locker would actually work. I also need logcat for sending logs to app devs when they want me to (yeah I know you can "enable" it if you want).

But all the extra RAM does seem nice, plus Taksin one ups Hardcore in my book by adjusting values that make AOS appear again in battery stats. So I MIGHT just test speedfrey one day.

Creating a kernel that HIDES AOS percentage values AND THEN claiming that the AOS bug is solved IS NOT good practice IMHO (ehm, Hardcore). It's just plain dishonesty.

imo AOS is not a bug, the freakin phone gotta run, it's switched on, the battery has to be used one way or the other, most probably AOS comprises the battery usage of the operating system and stuffs in services such as google and samsung services, you can see them if ya have a process monitor or autorun manager. also i see in xda alot noobs go around yelling AOS 75%!!! really doh.gif doh.gif

You dont understand difference between root and recovery. do read page 1 post5 to understand.
Dont do blindly without even knowing A is for apple not ball
He is telling you how to flash using recovery in this case using chainfire root cf4
This has nothjng related to SOC which Only root the phone
If you dont have recovery install than install chainfire cf4 first. It will auto root phone too n is ok

I never came across any claims from Hardcore about Android OS bug elimination but he did mentioned by switching off CPU Frequency Stats will subsequently remove Android OS stats from battery monitoring page. Latest version has the AOS in the battery stats because he switched on again the frequency stats. Actually, Hardcore made it first before Teksin, a day before Speedfrey 3.0.

He is more on slow and steady approach rather than pushing everything out of the door. Knowing his works on SGS, he always make sure his kernel will work no matter what. The debugging off method has been there since SGS but during SGS it can be switched on and off thru CWM. Hopefully he can implemented it but currently not in his is top most priority. His calmness made him survived the GPL war in XDA.... between him and Chainfire + Supercurio. One of the reasons he never supported Git Hub thingy.

Another note is Speedmod so far I tested is one of the kernel that can do factory reset from within the OS (thru privacy settings page) without boot loop. Not many kernel dev pay enough attention to this matter especially in KH3 ROM.

Well, Ninpo gave me a bootloop on Batista KG6 coz it messed up with CSC selection (CSC defaulted to KOR) and I did not have that in my phone. doh.gif

Yes., and more detail in the additional info will be very much welcome. Some newbies can't even differentiate between kernel and roms. To add the confusion., some kernel is not quite compatible with certain rom :-)
