I am currently running bionix 1.3.1 with kernel 2.6.32.9 (red edition theme too) and killed my battery in half a day. I have set cpu app and was wondering if anyone can help me tweak things a little to get better battery usage?

Hmmm, The Axura, EDT and Trigger roms have excellent battery. Are you overclocking ? 'cause if you are that will burn up battery and there is no fix or adjust for that, other than just running @ normal speed. Read the Bible for fixes and adjustments for the battery
If you're gonna burn battery that fast you might as well flash Gingerbread which is better.
I was actually looking for a gingerbread rom to flash but couldn't find one. I don't really want to use this much battery so fast but think its the team whiskey dragon rom edition kernel that I think is the problem.. it allows me to overclock which of course kills my battery. I was just looking for some tips to conserve battery. I set my setcpu settings to conservative and am going to see what it does. Should of stuck with my nexus-s or even nexus-1 but got two free phones and a fly rod out of deal than just a phone lol...

I'm running R-9 V5 rom and android 2.3.4 stock kernel and 1.77.30 radio. I was getting random reboots on the 1.97.00R radio with the stock kernel, kholk, and faux123. I'm just wondering what is the perfect combo to eliminate random reboots? It's extremely annoying when every time I pull my phone out to use, it's restarting. What I would prefer is Kholk kernel with the 1.21Ghz overclock and R-9 V5 rom, as well as the 1.97.00R radio and no random reboots. Why does this occur? 1.97.00R was supposed to fix random reboots... With the none ext 4 kernels I get fully working wifi on all faux123 and kholk, however ext kernels lose wifi in an error. However the none ext 4 kernels have random reboots with perfect working wifi. So I'm looking for a rom/ kernel/ radio with an overclock preferably kholk and a rom/ kernel that allows for working wifi and no random reboots. I get random reboots even while the phone in underclocked. I usually run the max at 608Mhz. Your guy's help would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks Buds!
When it comes to modifying my phone, I am very reserve and I usually like things to develop until they are fully functional and integrated, i.e. roms, kernels, etc.
So before I move on to making major changes I like to find a stable setup that works well for me.
Currently I am running CM7, prebeta #3 with faux's kernel at 1.1Ghz
My honest opinion is that faux's kernels are really sweet and even at a 1.1Ghz OC it is awesome. There is a 1.3Ghz out right now by the way but with a 1.1Ghz OC my quadrant scores while running CM7 are averaging out at around 3600-3800.
If you, dont want this you should try the recently popular HomeBase ROMS which are stock 2.3.4. with blur (i think stock looks nice) and an integrated 1.3Ghz OC. That should run pretty smooth.
It really depends on what you like. CM7 runs nice if you don't care about/use the camera.
Alien #4 (with or without theme) is really fast and looks pretty good with the theme applied (deblurs a lot)
The Darkside 1.3 looks pretty with its red/black theme and has a pretty good boot animation. It is also pretty quick and deblured.
Haven't used Aura but it's supposed to be a really fast semi-stock ROM.
CherryPi is also supposed to be fast but I don't like the theme.
Starwars ROM is really nice if you are a big star wars fan.
Faux123's kernels are the most stable that I've seen, even the new 1.3GHz kernel. Kholk's suffer from random reboots when wifi is enabled (only with some people, me and you for example).
Also, with your phone underclocked to 608, you are missing out on just how quick this phone can be. If you undervolt, then leaving the phone at 1GHz kind of balances out the battery drain.
Cm7 is awesome, but the battery life is so-so. Fauxs 1.3 kernel is fast but battery is even worse.
Stock is my favorite with faux 1.1 kernel undervolted. I wish there was a 1.0 kernel that supported uv.
Alien is never updated and suffers from too many force close and reboots for me.
I'm not too big on the themes from some of the other roms, and since they are all repackaged stock roms with the same tweaks and either faux or stock kernel your often better off with stock and the theme of your choice imo.

I'm running HomeBase with the faux 1.3ghz kernel. It rocks.
later
I run everything stock and it works great. Next question?
Im running Alien #4 with the theme, Faux 1.3 kernel undervolted, i get the less random reboots with this mix.
I disabled the apps i dont use much from the autostart using (Optimize Tool Box from android market), so it boots a lot faster if it ever random reboots.
My vote goes to Aura
From a post I just did on the Develop Aura thread:
Diviance: Thanks very much for a great ROM (#8 Blur). My phone, for the first time, performs like I want it to. My bluetooth sync with my Ford truck was never complete before. I noticed this am it was even uploading the text messages to the truck! And I can have both the phone and the Slacker work via bluetooth (after gb had to be one or the other). After GB I also had some issues with one person on text messaging where I didn't get the phone number so I couldn't respond. That went away also. In both cases reloading 2.3.4 did nothing to fix it only the Aura ROM.
(I am on the #8 Blur which comes bundled with Faux's kernel I believe)

So have you noticed anything else cool about optimize tool box? sounds pretty cool.
I have never experienced random reboots.
I am currently on CM7 / Fauxx123 kernel
For a stable build and performance, flash Alien #4 / Fauxx123 Kernel 1.3Mhz

it also notifies me when an installed app can be moved to the sd card, i think this should be considered a must have. and its free

Hello,
I have downloaded and flashed my Atrix with the ATT 2.3.5 (4.5.133) with the 36p radio and I love the look and feel of it.
Since flashing I noticed the device is pretty sluggish though, and the webtop instantly complains about the amount of ram as soon as I switch it on.
My questions are:
- Do I need to apply a ram fix of any kind (and any suggestions on an app to test this?)
- Would a Faux123 kernel provide any sort of performance increase? and if so which one should I be looking at?
Thanks
Flashed the Faux123 1ghz kernel and the phone does seem buttery smooth now and battery life seems excellent!

UV that kernel and it gets better!
More battery life and stays silky smooth!
All,
Just a quick question:
I am currently using Da_G's OC Kernel and have seen drastic improvements in battery life compared to the stock rooted kernel. I removed JD last night after noticing severe drain on the stock rooted kernel.
Is anyone using the OC Kernel with JD?
If so, is it the free version or paid versions (Lite or Ultimate)?
I used it on my previous device and had great success with CM7.
Hey guys
I know its a repeated question but I have been trying several roms with all the different kernels on my SGS2 and the only one that I have found is the Foxhound Rom which gives me a decent battery life. But now I flashed Rootbox because I wanted to have the new TW launcher on the phone...I usually underclock the processor to 800Mhz on Ondemand profile....I installed the latest 1.7 version using the Darknight, CM9 and Siyah kernels and the battery lasts me for just a day of moderate usage mostly because I can see the phone deep sleep about 60-70% of the time? I also dont know if flashing a new modem will make a difference.
Can anyone advise me as to how I can reduce it and possibly get a better battery life? Also I am gonna try the Rootbox with Fluxi kernel as bajee11 uses that on his kernel? But if anyone else is on the same ROM and getting a decent battery life, can you please advise me and also suggest CPU profile that you are using?
All help much appreciated

For ics I use try dark knight 1.8 and it's really good. Are you giving it a few cycles for the battery?
