[Q] Advice please- ROMs that have good battery life - Thunderbolt General

Hi-
I have been using the BAMF Remix ROM, but have developed some problems with random factory resets occurring. I am not sure what the problem is, but I thought I would try another ROM to see if I get the same problem. Does any have any advice on a ROM that has good battery life?
Thanks in advance.

You could achieve better battery life by flashing a different kernel. Try out one of Imoysen's lean kernels for example.

I use Imoysen's lean kernels 3.0.1 same Rom and still got those issue.

The newest build of CM7 RC0.4 has great battery life.

Reboots are probably caused by your radio not the the rom/kernel.

I wish that was the case for me. I was losing battery pretty decently while using CM7 RC0.4. I haven't had a lot of luck battery wise with any ROM I have loaded thus far.

That's a shame. On the new build of CM7, after tonight, I will easily be getting +25 hours per charge.

Where are the releases of CM7? I only see the one that was updated on the first.

MR2 - almost-Stock plainjanev3 with stock kernel.
GB roms are not as good as Froyo Roms at the moment (unless you count sense 3.0 aspects as a performance feature).

[Rom] Gingerbread Daily rom!

Ok first off i want to apologize for the previous post about the Rom.
But here it is a huge leap for getting gingerbread on our g1s
i am not a developer i just simple tried and failed tried and succeeded
Now here for the unbelievable part this rom is fully functioning other than 3d launcher.
steps in flashing:
Wipe all recommended flashing superwipe
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Done
Now second i realized it was not getting root access to fix this simply download superuser from the market.
this rom was made for the magic aka mytouch 3g
Links
Rom:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NKNFC89O
Gapps:
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-gb-20110114-signed.zip
Now tht i think of it there is one other bug the browser likes to fc but i am sure you can download a alternative browser from the market. Let me know.
I want to try this but I don't wanna be the first one. :0 After someone else does it and posts on here about it, I'll be flashing this.
So it's a fully functioning stable rom!? And its gingerbread?
*i would be more willing to flash if there was some pictures of the proof of 2.3 and things working!*
If this is for the mt3g shouldn't it be posted in that section..

C'mon, its just a picture! Maybe I'll try this. So it definitely is fully functioning, for daily use? Other than the browser fc'ing? And is it speedy and battery life is good? Gah, sorry for the questions...I want to try this soon, but I don't have time to waste on roms that don't work perfectly. I'm sure this is a great work though.
just give a couple of minutes and ill post the screenies for you guys.
so you claim with this ROM you can read all gmail email one by one without Gmail relooping or restarting?
it works with the 2708 radio. if your stuck in a bootloop flash the newest pershoot or ezterry kernel

this doesnt work with 2708 radio

it does work. i edited my post with instructions to get it working perfectly fine.
So if I have the latest radio and danger spl, I should flash the pershoot kernel and then this is ok to flash? Anyone have a report on speed, and later on battery life?

[Q] First time CM7 user.

Im gonna start using the CM7.
They are telling me to install GAPPS but when I click their link it, it takes me to a place with bunch of lists..idk what to do.
and what is CM7 Nightly? is it recommended to install that?
It tells you which gapps you need to install should say ace something or other. Just download it from that list.
For gapps, you want the one I highlighted in orange.
thanks.
what else should I do with the CM7? there are many cm7 links out there and its confusing me. T_T

It's pretty solid with a fresh flash. You could flash a different kernel but the stock one is perfectly capable.
Do yourself a favor and flash ultimate droid instead of cm7. Ud is based on cm7, but much faster and with better battery life.
I tried cm7 and thought it was awful. Buggy, nd battery life sucked.

Ick! There is a reason ultimate droid isn't allowed in xda. Do yourself a favor and do some research before flashing. Also I kinda don't understand how something that is merely a hacked and skinned version of cm7 is so much better.

This is the reason why I lol every time I see someone say that. It's just a re-skinned CM7 with a few more features (that you can do yourself) and a different kernel.
On topic, I would flash the latest nightly. It's just as stable as 7.0.2.

[FIX] Smoothness on RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs

Some people have been asking me why my Inspire ROM based on RUU 2.36.405.8 feels smoother than other ROMs using this base (when scrolling through home screens in particular). I again thought I should share with the community to improve all Desire HD ROMs.
It's as simple as dropping in a few libs from the 2.31 leak (libsurfaceflinger.so, libsurfaceflinger_client.so, and libpagemap.so to be exact). Hopefully HTC takes notice of both this and the wifi issue and fixes them both in future builds.
This will help both RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs.
Just flash through Clockwork Recovery.
It may seem simple, but it actually took me a long time to narrow down which exact files are required to fix the issue, so if you appreciate my work, donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

nice. thanks mate
my phones weather app started fc'ing after i flashed 6.0.2. up to then i only had the known sunday bug. after restoring to 6.0.1 fc'ing is no longer a problem. sunday bug persists.
also tried mdj's kernel v8. everything seemed fine at first. only problem was gps, wich couldn't find any satelites. now i'm on 6.0.1 with stock kernel and i just love all the working stuff. i trust, the few not working things can and will be fixed.
thanks for your work

It's funny, I mentioned this scrolling lag quite a few times and people said things like "I have zero lag, the ROM is flying!" and stuff like that. I thought the lag was just targeting me haha. Nice to know I'm not alone .
Thanks for the fix man, I really appreciate it. I was about to give up on the laggyness on the new ROM's until I tried this out. It works like a charm and makes them as fast, or faster than the S ports.

[Q] HELP!! Battery is killing my phone

Ok i have flashed ARHD and that's it. I haven't messed with anything else. But i am getting a huge battery drain even when i am not doing anything on the phone. Look at the images attached to this post. As you can see at some point the phone is awake even though i haven't touched it. I left it for 24 hours, with minimal use at the start and then i just left it at home. I have disabled background data. Can anyone help me with this? Is it because of ARHD rom?

Hi,
Poor battery life is probably down to the kernel you are using.
It's about experimenting to find the best ROM/kernel combination.
Choose from either Faux kernels HERE
Or bricked kernels HERE
Make a nandroid backup.
Place kernel on the root of tour sd card,
wipe cache and dalvik,
flash kernel like ROM,
reboot.
Thanks for your reply!
I just noticed version 3.6.12 was out and flashed it. It's with latest Faux kernel. Will test this out and see how it is. If it's same then i will try bricked kernels. Anyone you would recommend for this rom ?

Hi,
I think there is a problem with the wifi on that version.
The links to kernel to fix wifi:
1.56 http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db...x123/Pyramid-Kernel-0.2.8-M-sense-1.56GHz.zip
1.73 http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db...x123/Pyramid-Kernel-0.2.8-U-sense-1.73GHz.zip
You can start there.
flashing 1st one now and will see how it goes in 24hours or something like that. Thanks bud!

Hi,
3.6.13 only came out today.
You need to give it a chance before you can judge it.
If you do get poor battery life ,you need to experiment a bit with the ROM/kernel combination.

It was just a question, I'm sorry if it looked agressive :>
I tried ARHD x.11 and x.12 and have had this awful wifi battery drain aswell but I didn't try another kernel because I was very new to the Android OS. After that, I have tried some other custom roms but I didn't fell in love like it happend with ARHD. So just wanted to know if this bug is still there or if something has changed.

I've had this battery drain with every ARHD roms and some other roms and it seems like nothing can fix it. My guess is .13 wont help me either.
I only had this problem with the ARHD roms. Which radio do you use?
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 which is recommended for that rom
Hi!
I'm bit noob at this but I have used ARHD roms since 3.x now using 6.0.2 xe version.
Never had such battery drain, used latest kernels from faux at 3.x now 6.0.2 uses stock
Kernel and my battery drain is in idle about 1%/hour..
Have you tried fresh install? I read somewhere that the kernel should install first then Rom?

Hi,
That drain you are showing is not actually that bad...
When I was on 3.x.x it was worse than yours.
You cannot compare phones like that.
They are running different OS,different hardware,so they are not comparable.
I used to get 1-2 mA drain on my HD2,but you will never see anything that low on the Sensation.
Why don't you try THIS KERNEL

I have tried ktoonz n it was horrible; very unstable and required your phone to be reboot every day to stay working. Ziggy kernel was okay, but it locked up periodically. Zeus has been pretty good so far, I'm interested to see how it does on battery.

May want to look at this thread. Maybe that is why I have never seen a reboot or lockup on Ziggy's. I am always on the latest full firmware and run the lowest clock and voltage options on Ziggy with no problem. Worth a shot.

Hmmm I have never heard of flashing tz. I have been on the most current modem and rpm though. I can report that by changing kernels my Android system use has dropped dramatically giving me better battery life.
