[FIX][ROOT][ICS ROMS] compiled "power_profile.xml" file to fix cell stand by issue

Only for Samsung ICS roms, this bug is fixed by samsung in JB

This We know that almost all samsung roms as of now has "cell standby" battery drain. But its understood that its a miscalculation of power used rather than the actual power usage.

A big thanks to Anderilux here and here for finding this thing .

This mod will fix the wrong reporting of "cell stand by "usage to some extent. If your mobile has actual drain due to signal issues or some other issues do not blame me or any other for not fixing this.;)

What is changed ?

The power drain value in power_profile.xml is changed to 3.4 mA(approx value) from 34mA(which is practically impossible).


Attaching the compiled power_profile.xml file along with this post.This saves your time of decompile/recompile framework-res.apk. All you have to do is open your framework-res , modify the apk with 7zip or winrar.

How to?

1.Open you framework-res.apk file via 7zip or winrar.
2.Navigate to "framework-res\res\xml".
3.Delete the existing "power_profile.xml" file and add the attached one here.
4.Now pull back the framework-res.apk back to your mobile
5.Restart your mobile.

Or you can simply flash the below cwm zip, thanks to @ ausdim for packing this :)

Now you wont see "cell standby" topping your battery usage list.

verified the power_profile of many roms ,its actually same. so this should work with almost all roms :) Lets hope samsung would fix it in their future rom releases :)

Download the xml file here

Here is the reference decompiled xml file for the purpose of learning.

Yes I did this yesterday and everything makes more sense now. I set to 3 though, not 3.4

I'm slightly surprised this works with swapping the xml. That didn't work for me. I had to recompile. Reboots fine?

I make a simple zip to install it with CWM.

It will replace the file inside the framework-res.apk and it will work with any rom.

Thank's goes to Walhalla for the zip file.

And also to bala_gamer and Anderilux for the fixed file. ;)

It is also backup your curent framework-res.apk to /extSdCard/mode-backup.

Thank's

Any possible drawback?

Its not risky if you take a nandroid backup first.

Drawbacks? Although it will look more realistic, its still not perfect. Guessing the actual mA and CPU values are not correct still.

sorry if this is a noob question, would this change the battery life or would it just attribute the battery usage to some other factor (post the right calcs)?

    </array>
    <item name="battery.capacity">2100</item>
</device>

    Now there a major problem here with the OP's Post...

    The .XML @Bala has attached is a straight pull off the framework, please also add the decompiled one of the .XML so we can avoid confusion !

    What you need to mod
    Code: 
    <array name="radio.on">
        <value>34</value>
        <value>34</value>
    </array>

    To
    Code: 
    <array name="radio.on">
        <value>3.4</value>
        <value>3.4</value>
    </array>

    this is what is to be changed :cyclops:
