AMOLED displays (what we have in our phones) decay because of they're organic nature. They degrade from usage, light exposure, and from aging. This can result in a kind of image persistence, similar to burn-in. The status bar is black, so that part of the display degrades at a lower rate than the rest. As a result, the status bar area retains a cooler (blue/green) color temperature when compared to the rest of the screen.

Yup that's what I got on my screen.

You can get the battery percentage, in Settings>Display> down to More Settings: Display battery percentage. Check the box and enjoy!

Just found that right after I posted. So my only "complaint" is completely nullified. Thanks! Hopefully I can get battery usage under control again this easy too. My battery life wasn't great under ss2.

I recommend installing the latest kernel in post 3 while you're in the process of setting up

Another "excuse my ignorance" Q, but since we talked about the Power button earlier, is there a way to install CWM Touch, so we won't have to use the Power button too much (in recovery of course)?

The home button works as the power button in recovery.

Building Jeboo Kernel

Here's a tutorial that should get you going on building your own copy of the kernel. Good luck and have fun!

1. Download all dependencies (java/android sdk/etc) for your OS. If you search for generic kernel building threads, they usually have a good list to start from. You will also know if you're missing
something when you try compiling later. For reference, I'm building on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit under VMware.

2. Get the GCC 4.4.3 toolchain: It's available from many places, but I put up a copy as well: http://d-h.st/5dV
Extract the toolchain to a folder upstream of the current project in case you decide to delete & start over.

3. Now create a directory and clone the kernel and initramfs gits. The initramfs should always be in the path ../initramfs from the kernel:
git clone https://github.com/jeboo/kernel_JB_ZSLS6_i777.git
git clone https://github.com/jeboo/initramfs_XXLSJ.git ./initramfs

4. Go into the kernel directory and edit mk.sh. You need to adjust the CROSS_COMPILE variable (line 2) to match your location of the toolchain from #2.

5. Now we are going to run 'make u1_defconfig' which will create '.config'. The u1_defconfig is located in arch/arm/configs if you want to modify some build settings.

6. If all goes well, now all that's left is to run './mk.sh' and you should have a working zImage. There are 2 lines in mk.sh that will error out because they are specific to my comp:
Line 12 'cp -v ..' which copies my latest built CWM to the kernel dir, and line 14 which builds an ODIN-flashable tar. Don't worry about the CWM copy error,
there's a copy in the kernel dir. I'll include the maketar.sh script below if you want to use it.

7. The first time you build the kernel, be sure to do a 2nd run of './mk.sh' to ensure your initramfs has the proper /lib/modules installed.

#!/bin/bash
#NOTE: If you use maketar.sh at the end, you should add a simple file .name (to kernel dir) with 1 line containing the name to use in the tar file name.
CURR_KERN="$(cat .name)_"
CURR_DATE="$CURR_KERN$(date +%b%d_%H%M)"
tar -H ustar -c zImage >> cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar
md5sum -t cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar >> cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar
mv cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar.md5
echo Created cust_kernel_$CURR_DATE.tar.md5

I see there is a newer kernel released. When I first installed the custom kernel I used mobile odin. Can I install the newer kernel with cwm?

SHO, can you confirm that track skip with volume works in 1.7 mine isn't and maybe I need to reflash?

Thanks

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Mine hasn't work either. Reflashed with no help. I use Google music and Pandora 1.3 all the time and volume skip is the sh#$.
Swipe isnt working on my keyboard either.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much for this jeboo. My zImage is coming out at 11.3 MB--significantly bigger than yours. The zImage won't boot and has no recovery. An idea where it's getting messed up? http://pastebin.com/kvJPjQNp

Does building kernels require additional dependencies other than those for building CM? Also, there were some more unused variable errors earlier in the process, but I can't scroll back far enough.

It's the initramfs git..I'll fix in a bit.

I removed that because I don't like it to come on when I unplug it.

Is it easy to restore the screen coming on after unplugging it from a power source? What file would need to be edited?

1.1d doesn't work for me. 20% in 3 hours. 1.1c was around 2-3%

decompile framework-res.apk and go to bools.xml

change this:
<bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">false</bool>

to this:
<bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">true</bool>

then recompile. Good luck.

Give it a few cycles man.... the only difference is the row scheduler and enable last_kmsg... neither changes the battery life.

only for stock music player currently.
You need to enable it in the keyboard settings for swipe to work.

Is ther a problem with the latest kernel tats causing the battery drain? Shud i flash an older one? Probably 1.1c

I updated the latest kernel & not only do my eBay batteries not charge but my stock battery makes it shut off & flash the battery symbol. Can someone post a link for an older version or maybe a quick fix I can do? Thanks

See post #3. Jeboo posted links for all the kernels he's released.

FWIW, I've had no problems with 1.1d.
