Help please. :) - HTC Desire S

Hey guys, so I've installed this ( ICE DS v 5.0 ICS 4.0.4) and its working wonderful. Except I've installed the htc arrows. Is there anyway to remove it without flashing the ROM again? Thanks! Btw, I wanted to post there but don't have enough posts at the mean time...

Sorry guys! Just fixed it. However, I realized the battery life is crap. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Done calibration too.

how did you do it? is it just installed as a separate keyboard in the settings?
the battery life seems good for me. much better than the official ics whose battery life is not great.

Fixed the keyboard! But the battery life is honestly terrible. It's getting drained like WTH. Even after calibrating it and what not. Any ideas?

Kernels & Battery

Hi All
I've done a bit of reading and see a number of different kernels about.
Can someone recommend the best kernel for extended battery life.
I currently get 18hrs out of my G1 running Froyo by Lazlo.
Yesterday I used navigation for a 30minute trip and my battery went from 100% to 15%
Surely this isn't right.
Any help / suggestions are really appreciated.
Farmatito's kernels are the best I've used. They resolve the battery drain issues and extend battery life.

Andromadus vs. Jellytime vs. PACman vs. Pure CM10

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?
im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.
Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!
I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.
PACman, way to go.
I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
For now I'm switching to my sense rom
On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!
Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....
Thanks

why not try the ROMS yourself and find which one is suitable for u. Everyone has a different preference and taste.

I'am trying different roms all the time... right now I'm using FullySamsung-1.0.1 since couple of days... battery life sucks on this rom...
I do not see the connection between battery life and "preferences and taste"...
From my experiences all JB roms for DS are draining battery very fast...

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

That still isn't answer for a question from first topic... "So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?".
It's just general deviation about the opportunities offered by kernels...

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.

[Q] rom for my mom??

My mom i727 is now out of warranty. She is on the att official 4.1.2 rom and the battery life is just horrible. Battery Guru helped but I got a feeling a custom rom would help more. She had awesome battery life on ICS. I have the i717 and I also tried the stock att 4.1.2 and had horrible battery life(among other issues) Questions is: (dont hate) I need a rom ics or jellybean that is just incredible stable. Since this is not my phone I have not been able to try out anything. Any help would be great. THANKS!! What rom would you give your mom=)
I'd keep her on stock. And if ics worked better for you I'd put that on.

Stock. Root it and delete some bloat. Buy her an extended battery

thanks for the reply . I should state that she is pretty crafty. She has had to deal with me for past 33 years. She can navigate OSX ubuntu, and even windows 8. I was just hoping for some feedback. I appreciate it.

I think Vincom released a SuperLight version of the official Jelly Bean Update-that might be worth a shot. I also got great battery life on Sons of Android's builds. Great stability, too.

+1
Sons of Android was my first DD when I switched to custom ROMs. I ran it for a whole week and it was really stable and got a 33% battery life increase over stock ROM with similar usage.
Stock ROMs can also crash so you could try any stable custom ROM out here.
Got to agree with xcrazyd on this one. If battery life is the problem the logical solution would be to get an extended battery. Check out the accessories section, you can get one for 7 bucks.
oh dang, 7 bucks for the extended battery? I think I'll get on that. I currently get about 12 hours out of my skyrocket with light use on CM10.1. No matter what the battery life on this phone isn't going to be awesome. Especially when you look at what's using the battery (it's the screen).

If that's the kind of battery life you're getting you need this, not an extended battery.
thanks for replies everyone. right now i have her on the cm10.1 rc5. She seems to like it and hasnt had any issues so far. If something comes up I will try the sons of android rom. She just wants battery life like she use to have on ICS. No extended battery need but thanks for the suggestion. I actually have a 5200 i sometimes use on my i717. Appreciate all you time.

Weird that you would get bad battery life on samsung jelly bean, i had the Rogers jelly bean and it had great battery life. Same with CM10/CM10.1 and MIUI.

Battery drain

Hey guys. Got some battery drain problems. Made some screen to make it more clear. If anyone can give some options would be great. Thank you !
I can see that is kernel related. But I can't understand why.
Should I use a kenell settings app ? If yes which one ?
Betterbatterystatus will tell you more.

Which custom ROM/Magisk module/kernal is best for extension of the battery life

Dear everyone,
I' ve trapped by the battery issue of my phone. I absolutely love this phone but the battery life is so weak to me. Since my last phone is Mate20p which can be used for 2 days, I feel OP7pro is an only one-day phone and even need to charge twice in a day. However, I find there are so many alternative choices for me like in terms of the kernels, ROMs, etc. I am a new here, just wanna know which project is the best for extending the battery life? Thank you guys so much. Oh, by the way, I expect these projects have not many obvious issues for daily usage.
Kind regard,

My GM1917's battery life benefitted greatly from just NoLimits Magisk mod debloat. No issues at all. Stock OOS 9.5.11 and stock kernel. Also have forced 90hz and fixed resolution to QHD+.
NoLimits + Renovate Ice + Arter79 kernel has done me wonders. ~ 10%/hr drain on screen .3-.5%/hr drain standby.
