Installed the latest updated superatmos ROM. So far no issue giving root permissions. Camera seems ok, but need more testing. Just to report in that its running fine. Doesnt mess up your phone or cause reboots if u give root permission to some apps. Can download and test yourselves.

Will run more tests later cause I got to go out. Cheers.

Sorry for not clear information
ya i'm follow XDA root , and i'm success now
the only problem is couldn't restore the bootup animation sad.gif
do anyone follow this instruction?
as i'm still very blur with these command mentioned....

=> install "Mount /system (rw / ro)" (utility from the market)
=> set /system as RW with this utility
=> install "Android Terminal Emulator" (utility from the market)
=> copy the two files with cp command
=> change permissions to 644 with chmod
(you can use any file explorer but DO NOT FORGET TO SET PERMISIONS)

that is hard question for everyone as battery usage is quite subjective and depends solely on how u use it, but people are saying at least on normal/medium usage, it should at least withstand a day long and with less usage maybe up to 2 days.

question regarding flashing or rooting is easier to answer and quite easy to do also as long as u can read English and understand English pretty well, the guide on the front page is also quite useful although not quite updated.

Now this is way out of topic of this thread, but I suppose, eventually one of reason people root to is get the better of their battery by freezing and stuff, so I try shed my little experience. Bad news, you have to read up a few threads , maybe 40 pages in all to really know what's happening.

And If u scare it will brick by flashing around, its tough. Sooner or later you need to cross that bridge to get some goodies.

But for better battery you can try this without flashing ROM.

1. Root your phone with Doomlord method. Its either work or dont work only, wont brick ur phone.
2. Once rooted , you'll have superuser app to grant root permissions.
3. Download & install titanium backup pro . You can google around. Sorry cant give u links to crackware. Better buy it but its your choice.
4. Download BetterBatteryStats ( BBS). There is a free version on xda.
5. Download Setcpu - you can buy it or get the xda version free.
6. Get yourself JuiceDefender / JuiceDefender Ultimate. ( JD)
7. Get yourself Autostarts (AS)

There are many threads on xda , some people say use BBS, dont use JD and setcpu and there is another group that swear JD/SetCPU is good. What I did is to combine all - and feel free to experiment on your own. This is not the only way you'll save battery.

1. Use TitaniumBackup to freeze all unused apps that come preinstalled. Check thru and see which one you really need. I have frozen Accuweather,Allshare,Android Live Wallpaper,APMobile,Books( if u have it),unused fonts,Days,Email 1.0,Email 3.0.0.1,GameHub,Homescreen Tips,IM,Kobo,Livewallpaper picker,Maps, MiniDiary, News, Oceanwether, OMACP, Readers Hub,Samsung Apps/UNA,Entire SNS,Social Hubs,streetview,Windyweather, yahoofinance,Zinio Reader. You choose what u really need , rest just freeze it. All of the above I dont need or have alternatives.

2,I turn off stuff in settings, accounts and sync, I turn off auto-sync, I turn off motion ( i dont need it), in Location/Security, I turn off "Use wireless network", in Privacy, I turn off "back up my data". Turn off auto brightness and anything else that may suck battery. There are tonnes of articles online search, fiddle and experiment.


3.Then I charged my phone and used BBS to see what is still keeping my phone "awake". Most times, its friendcaster app. I adjust the settings for friendcaster and other apps. Again, pls read thru BBS thread in xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 - you can read a few pages in front and back.

4.I use setcpu and apply profiles that cap the cpu when screen is off and when battery is getting low.
Read here for start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158102

5.I used JD Ultimate and settings from forums. See here but feel free to research and experiment and understand what you are setting.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthre...ender-(Ultimate

6. Of the remaining apps that are not frozen, I use autostarts, to turn of "event triggered starts". I have a very lean startup and most apps run only when i click on them. they dont autostart as they were programmed to do. You can start with a few and experiment as you go along.


With rooted stock firmware, with light-moderate use, I can stretch my battery to about 32 hours. Gmails, Friendcaster checks maybe 10 times, music for ~20-30mins, some games (Angry Birds) , watch a few song video, many many SMS, a few calls, and check this forum online maybe 20 times. Also sync my office email with Roadsync 3-4 times manually. JD "claims" it has helped increase my battery about 1.8x. But 32 hours is not repeatable many times. Occassionally I get 24 hours,26 hours, 22 hours. Even with Juffo 2.1 is about the same.

Now I am rubbing my hands with glee since its mentioned that superatmos has tweaked power management. I really wanna see how long the battery lasts. So the above is my small experience . I been using android only ~ 2 months now. My biggest shock migrating from my Nokia N8 to SGS2 is battery life. Otherwise no complaints.

Great views there! And thanks for the JD thread aswell. Just bought the Ultimate version last night as I'm very much satisfied with the free version. Needed the configure app function to enable Lookout app. Wife lost her phone just recently and it haunts me just well. So am trying all the "lost phone" apps to be safe.

Anyway, hows SuperROM?
