First you need to install a home replacement , that will give back most of stock android. Then no need for adb , just rip it from one of cyanogen's cupcake builds ( 3. Ones should be 1,5) and make sure you open your messaging app and in a empty text field long press select input method then touch input ..

Found this interesting article about battery issues. Looks like with a rooted device, you delete the recorded statistics and start fresh.

I thought most knew this , this is from the early days of the G1 forums over @ xda . This works just as well as calibrating the battery and even better when combined , but because SAmsung messed up and gave us TWO battery meters that contradict each other ( one monitors low voltage warnings and shuts down most apps when voltage is at a pre_defined low ,the other is built in android power manager , **android does not play well with more the one battery meter** ) , we will not be able to harness the real power of the 1400mAh battery

there are two battery meters?
Meter in the software sense...
one visible ** the one you see with the battery icon ** and the other hidden ** one of samsung's tweaks ** that runs in the background.... Try to remember the early days of the G1 where we had two meters **lock screen battery meter** and defauld android that caused wrong battery readings in Rc 29 .... In 1.5 they got rid of the lockscreen meter , and this improved battery life a bit ..

So I went ahead and did it and while I cant say I've tested this rigorously, subjectively I say it works. I didnt do the persistent root, I have no need for that and I just dont want to modify the phone too much just yet. If you want to just do whats needed, simply follow the persistent root directions up to and including the mount command. After that you can delete(rm command) the battery stats file and reboot.

my guess would be you would only need to do it again if you change the rom either back to stock or a custom rom, because it would rewrite those files

Cool, thought it was some kind of logfile.

I'm trying to do the battery meter fix, but I can't seem to boot into recovery mode. Can someone help me out, please?

do not go to recovery mode.
* Just change usb connecting to samsung studio, turn on usb debug. Then let your phone sleep ( not turn off)
* go to cmd in your computer, and type
1. adb devices ( just make sure your device is listed in there)
2. adb shell [enter]
3. mount(space)-(space)a [enter]
4. rm /data/system/batterystats.bin [enter]
5. reboot
p/s: your phone need to be rooted or using BH_MAN's rom before you do this
I went to freeroms.com and downloaded the Emultor. Cause it said to do it so i could get the roms but it doesn't support it. How can i get it or what do i need to do to be supported so i can go ahead and get the roms oh. It was for the NES ROMS. and i was downloading the nes emulaTor. PLEASE HELP
