Replacement battery with bigger capasity

[Doman]

CWM10.2? CWM is a custom recovery. I think you've mistaken it with CM (CyanogenMod)

CWM is independent of ROM and kernel. And kernel itself should work with CyanogenMod. I've tried it with stock ROM personaly.

 

[joecraven92]

Yes, that was the mistake I made. So I can install the vkinger kernal, without having cyanogenmod installed? Cos when I do it with it installed I get boot loop

Yes, that was the mistake I made. So I can install the vkinger kernal, without having cyanogenmod installed? Cos when I do it with it installed I get boot loop

Vkinger is a STOCK SAMSUNG ROM kernel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... please read the topic before asking of course u will bootloop

 

[joecraven92]

I apologise I am not so smart about these things

 

[joecraven92]

I give up trying to install the kernal. I have no idea what I did wrong but after installing it with CM11 installed I get bootloop, after installing it without CM11 I get bootloop.

Go back to stock ROM (flash full official software with ODIN), root the phone, flash CWM, flash the kernel from CWM.

As rrgrrg noticed this kernel will not work with CM (and probably any other custom ROM).

Hi. I bought a zerolemon 5100mah battery for my s4 mini duos. I have the same problem wit discharging to 0 then turning it back on to 60%...
Is there a way just to root the dwvice and edit the battery capacity?

 

[Doman]

Nope, the capacity info is stored inside the kernel. So you have to flash a custom one.

 

[sej7278]

there used to be a way to reset the battery stats, can't quite remember it now - isn't it in cwm?

 

[llmb0611]

I wrote a mail to zerolemon seller on amazon and i got this back from him

1- charge phone while off for 12 hours straight.
You then will turn the phone on and use it till the battery life
goes to 2%
*
2-after the item has been depleted to 2% charge it for 12 hours
straight.
PLEASE NOTE: Your phone may state is is fully charged before the
12 hours are done BUT please keep charging your phone for the full 12 hours.
*
3- repeat #2 for 4 more times. This will complete your 6
charging cycles.
*
Your phone will not read the correct battery life until you have
completed the charging cycles.
Please do not stop charging the battery once it reaches
100%.
You may stop charging after the 12 hours have passed.

But it didnt work...

Has any one tried this http://www.amazon.com/2600mAh-Porta...alaxy+S4+MINI+i9190+Rechargeable+Battery+Case
Would the kernel need to be modified to match the mAh of the bettery + case?

And what about this anyone tried? http://www.amazon.com/Power2tek-BAT...rds=Power2tek+BATTERY+3.7V+For+Samsung+B500BE

Thanks,
Sora.

It might be dangerous

The S4 mini might not be compatable with the other batteries. It might even blast. Better to use Samsung made Or 1900mAH Battery.Because u can't fit more material into same space but if the battery is not Li-ion the storage might increase. Then it might not support the phone .Best to use Manufacture made.

I know this thread is a little stale but does anyone know if there is a comparable version of this change that can be applied to CM12.1? Is CM12.1 capable of handling different sized batteries? I am not sure how to get back to 4.2.2 and honestly I would rather stay at LP than downgrade back to JB so any additional information would be much appreciated.

I bought a Zerolemon 5100mAh battery and from 3 hours of screen on time with the original battery, I get now 8 hours and 2 to 3 days of heavy use, instead of 1 day.
In my case even the battery meter is fairly accurate and when it gets to 0% it actually is empty.
If you want more informations about it, I made a youtube video: "Zerolemon 5100mAh Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - unboxing and first impressions"
Feel free to ask anything about it in the video comments section.

I bought MPJ 2900mAh Battery from ebay, first i tested my 2 years old samsung battery with nova battery tester software got 1100mAh and with MPJ one i got 1890 mAh so i was pretty happy with that

 

[hardcorenooker]

it should be "1940000" with the stock kernel and after flashing one of my modified kernels it should be higher.

It gives me 70032704 with 4275mAh version... is that correct?

OK. So I've flashed 3800mAh kernel version. Now terminal gives me a value of "-414967296". Yes, with "minus" in the front Is that correct?

It seems like you're hitting an integer overflow here.
The maximum value for a 32 bit signed integer is 2,147,483,647.
Default value is 1,940,000,000 (uAh)
* 2 = 3,880,000,000 which is bigger than 2,147,483,647 and overflows to -414,967,296
* 3 = 5,820,000,000 overflows to 70,032,704

So this kernel patch might have unexpected behavior. You might try to convert the values to unsigned int but even then the 3x patch won't fit (BTW there are no commercially available 3x batteries, they are advertised as 3x but real capacity is at most 2x, physical limits apply)

 

[Doman]

... You might try to convert the values to ...

Sure, why not... when I am back in time 5 years
