Does 3.3.1 work with Alpha 5? I got an installation aborted when I tried to flash it. I downloaded in mobile app, and through browser...both failed. :confused:

What kernel did you attemp to flash it with?
You have to flash to a different kernel like el26 repack or el29 directboot, flash 3.3.1, then flash to a CM9 kernel.

Personally, I like to flash to el26, flash the WHOLE cm9 rom, and then flash tweaks. I noticed that flashing any other kernel causes fcs/restarts. Although I havent tried pulling and flashing the one from the rom itself. That is also an option.

That's not a good idea.
When you flash the rom, at least you have to boot one time to settle down the new ROM on your phone. Then, flash EL26 and flash Kobridge Tweak, then flash CM9 or the kernel based on your preference. Personally I don't have any link where we could download the CM9 kernel - maybe share the same kernel with AOKP?

that will make the Kobridge tweak working.

So if you fresh install a rom , flash gapps them your tweaks, the tweaks won't work? I flashed cm9 , gapps then your tracks two days ago and in the about phone it has the cm version as 3.3.1m

This is not exactly true. This isn't really the place to discuss it in much detail, but I will say this. If you have apps running in the background that are draining THAT much battery, then chances are the app is in someway problematic.

Android stores tasks in memory. When you open the apps, they are called from that memory which is actually less resource intensive to get the app back to the foreground. Android handles tasks in a special way. When the operating system feels the need to kill applications to free ram, it will. And does.

IMO you are more likely to see cpu stress slowing things down than used memory, which is why opening applications from memory which are frequently used will likely actually result in LESS power consumption.

When you kill an app and open it the next time, instead of it opening in a "stored" state in memory, you're potentially cycling the cpu more to reopen said application.

NOW, show me a task killer that shows cpu cycles and that background apps are actually cycling the cpu and are not just harmlessly stored in ram and there might be more discussion, or as I said, it could just be an app that needs some adjustment. :cool:

Getting caught up with the thread so sorry if this has been dropped already...

I can tell you as an app dev that when an app is in the background, unless its using a push or poll service, it uses less battery than force closing it and opening it at a later time. When you open an app, it cycles the CPU and runs whatever necessary startup scripts it needs. These processes are not run when an app is restored from background.

An app uses more CPU and battery resources in the first minute of start-up than it does in a few days of background (again, depending on what services its running in the background. Facebook is a good example of an app that'll eat battery no matter what)

If flash isn't working, reinstall it, fixed the Dolphin issue for me.

CM9 kernels can be found here:
They are specific to CM9

It will still work, just not the recommended method.
It's good to let your ROM settle first.

I've always flashed to CM9 FE22 and never had these issues

Quick question about kobridge's 3.3.1 tweak:

I know that we are supposed to unzip the main file which reveals 4 smaller zip files.
Are we supposed to flash each one of those files? Does the order matter?

No, you flash the one you want. Right next to the version number on the zip file there will be a letter or letters that tell you which one it is (example: 3.3.1F)

I copy pasted this from the second post on this thread

"there are 4 different sets up tweaks available -
SF Super Fast - almost maximum speed without o.c or o.v (also check the battery savings)
F fast - almost same speed with SF but targetting more battery savings
M moderate - big different, faster than previous version but would get the same amount of battery saving
A aggressive - targetting aggressive batttery savings. So, this is the slowest one. I'm still looking for the way to improve this one."

Does anyone recognize this guy?

I'm almost about to drop my Kobridge Tweaks for CM9 because of this guy!

Same reboot issue occurred on cm9 alpha 4, which you do support. What now then? Why are you fighting me instead of making note of the issue and perhaps dealing with it later?

So, you want me to remove Kobridge tweak for CM9 Alpha4? Again, it's your problem and I do not support your problem. Please go back to your thread.

Satire my friend.

Most of the people in these threads are just entitled consumers of others work.

Ignore it.

OK. I'm done with CM9.

Dude don't let a petty thing like this curb your name getting out in the community. I applied your tweaks today and they work fine. Not every phone will run every rom or every tweak the same. There's always gonna be whiners. Rise above it or tell them to make their own.
