Umm 2 things

1.. Wipe data, cache and dalvik and reflash of course after backing up data and apps.

2.. Try a caliberation

Charge till full while phone is on, disconnect, charge again till full while phone is off, fisconnect, boot charge again till battery is full.

Disconnect, boot in recovery.= advanced= wipe battery stats,

Do this thrice , let the phone discharge to less than ten percent.

Also flash latest devil.99 kernel.

@ phonegeek , yupp : sbrisen has done it lol even before Jt and aokp ;P , its still alpha , will take a lot of touching up !!

@ Jasmin i suggest instead of wasting time on M5, first up flash M6 and then we ll take it forward this tutorial is for you :)

Download following :

Team hacksung build 1 : http://www.mediafire.com/?67782p054lp6o22

OR

you can use

Build 2 as well for a chnage : http://www.mediafire.com/?66dcveq1vtsdr2y

AOKP milestone 6 : M6 official build with glitch kernel : http://goo-inside.me...milestone-6.zip

Latest Devil kernel .99 - http://rootaxbox.no-...MC_20120708.zip

Data fix - http://www.mediafire.com/?srqv32venglftmq

Gapps : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

PROCEDURE for INSTALLATION

as usual backup data , backup apps

charge the phone fully > download mode > flash Eh03 + atlas pit via ODIN ( i hope u never had issues with this in the past - if you had issues then skipp eh03 step. )

boot

shutdown

download mode > flash cwm fixed for CM9 > http://www.mediafire.com/?fl733m5cys3f6ea

give three fingers > boot in new blue recovery

wipe data > wipe cache > wipe dalvik

flash the team hacksung build 1 or 2, i would suggest 2 this time > Boot

Shutdown > boot in recovery by holding power button and selecting recovery

wipe data , cache and dalvik again

flash M6 Rom i have linked above > flash gapps > flash devil kernel > flash data fix

This way you are on the stock M6 with devil kernel ,

@ all others if you feel linaro is eating more battery you can use the stock M6 without linaro and devil + flash the latest .99 devil urself over it.

TWEAKS for the kernel to get better performance and backup ( this applies to all M6 or other aokp prtevious versions if you are using DEVIL kernel )

run your Rom for a few hours and install all apps and data and stuff

download and install this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.hilbring.android.devilkernelconfig&hl=en

run this app and use following settings in it

RAM SETTINGS : 391 xl mem

no zram

CPU governer in TOOLS menu : ondemand

LIve OC min :200min

LIve OC max 1000max

screen off min 200

screen off max 800

target live 200-1000

no data fix

fudge swap 0

in rom control in SEttings of ROM - set to keep 75mb ram free

U can do that.

@ kiki ; for these roms to work on ur Indian version, i think u should fladh the 1x and 3g settings via cdma workshop.

But i would suggest you not to do these things and use official reliance roms only may b go ask the service center guyz for latest updates.

okay ran the JT's JB Alpha for three days , its nice a smooth , really what you expect of JB :) :) and worh flashing
BUT if i tell you there is something more BUTTERY already available that too with every damn thing working ;) ?????

here is another surprise , for all of those who feel ICS has bad battery life or it lags and starts to act up like your Ex ;)
well , ( its true ) but I hereby present to you all with
Ultra solid , more buttery than JB ( i am not kidding ) ,

Teamhacksung's ICS Port for Fascinate (BUILD 15) [07/10/12]

I am impressed - Totally clean , mean looking cynogen mod 9 aka ICS port



PART 1 - If you are already on AOKP ics or any other MTD ROM

Here are the files needed [ STORE THEM ALL ON YOUR SD CARD ]

1.. BUILD 15 ROM - (MD5: 75d3b0bd145aff11653192ebd461126f)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3k4rdcrvr423dj3
2.. Latest GAPPS -
http://goo.im/gapps/...0429-signed.zip
3.. ICS DATA Fix ( required to get the 3G data running , which gets disabled while flashing any ICS ROM on imported I500 mobiles )
http://www.mediafire...srqv32venglftmq
4.. Exclusive Devil Kernel - Devil3_1.0.2b-ICS_fascinate_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120723
http://www.mediafire.com/?e6hs3z3chsuoz2e

INSTALLATION :

1.. backup data , backup apps with whatever method you like
2.. Hit power button > select Reboot > Select Recovery > Make a nandroid
3.. Once your nandroid is completed > wipe DATA/factory reset > wipe cache partition > go to advanced > wipe dalvik cacahe
4.. Once done > Flash the ROM > if upon completion of ROM flash your phone itself restarts and goes back to recovery again > dont panic ;) > again wipe all three and flash the Rom again
5.. once Rom flash completes > flash the DEVIL kernel mentioned above > flash the gapps > once them are done> flash the data fix

PROFIT


PART 2 - If you are still in stone age ( ;) kiddin ) with Gingerbread, Froyo , Eclair , or CamaCola or Hamam ;P - then follow this procedure
Files needed
1...ODIN
http://www.mediafire...6ipsaf418ah8gr5
2..Atlas pit
http://www.mediafire...19fo7ftwgz8tgr8

http://www.mediafire...r4fi9gl59j832yl
4..Clockwork Mod recovery fixed for CM9
http://www.mediafire...fl733m5cys3f6ea

INSTALLATION -

1 .. Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM ( better safe then sorry - just in case you messup anything )
If you dont know how to make a nandroid backup then ask around the option is there in all custom cwm recoveries
2 .. download all the files on your SD card mentioned in PART 1 of the totorial above
3.. turn off your phone > remove battery > attach the usb cable and put it in download mode ( press vol down and insert the usb cable which is already connected to your PC )
4.. Double click and Open ODIN ( your phone should show on a com port inside odin > click PDA > select the EH03 stock GB file that i have mentioed above
5.. Click Pit and select the atlas pit file mentioned above
6.. Hit start , the stock GB will be flashed > it will take ten minutes for the flash to finish, once completes , put the battery in
7.. Reboot phone > it will take another 10 or so minutes , once it boots shut it down
8.. remove battery > put phone in download mode again ( by holding vol down and inserting the data cable ) > and in PDA section flash the clockworkmod fixed for Cm9 file
9.. Once it completes > put the battery in > DONT restart phone > instaed push and hold volume UP and Volume Down and power button together and you will boot into a all new BLUE cwm recovery
11.. wipe DATA/factory reset > wipe cache partition > go to advanced > wipe dalvik cacahe
12.. Once done > Flash the Team hacksung ics build 15 mentioned in part 1 , ( which you have stored on ur SD card ) > if upon completion of ROM flash, your phone itself restarts and goes back to recovery again > dont panic ;) > again wipe all three and flash the Rom again
13.. once Rom flash completes > flash the DEVIL kernel mentioned above > flash the gapps ( as mentioned in part 1 ) > once them are done> flash the data fix

PROFIT again ;)

btw : You cant hold me or RIMWEB responsible, If upon following any of the above steps YOUR PHONE bricks and becomes an expensive paperweight, or ghosts start to haunt you or anything bad happening to you.

This means that in this particular THS15 ROM all the things are working pretty great , like bluetooth , maps, GPS , data , everything

also this is smooth as anything in the world , just love this

so much so that i have stopped venturing in JT's JB thread ( FYI he has foixed the settings and GPS issues and is out with build 2 of his JB Alphs )

thanks

@joshm

Im trying to flash THS ICS Build 15, as you suggested. I got into the blue recovery, but when I try to flash the rom, the phone goes into a bootloop (back into the Galaxy S logo). I removed and reinserted the battery, and went back into blue recovery and tried flashing the rom again. But same issue.....Please help...

Thanks in advance,

Kartik
