Hi, just wondering if anyone has the same issue as mine. I have an international Atrix of d00. I used to use the stock ORFR 4.5.2A based rom, and the battery life was quite good. When Faux123 released the OC kernel 0.1.9, which cannot work with the stock rom at least on my phone, I first flashed the Starwar Rom, which reduced the battery life to less than 5 hours, and phone is constantly hot. I already set the CPU at max of 1.1 Ghz when in use, and at max of 216 Mhz when screen is off, the problem is that my phone is still hot after the screen is off for several hours. So I switched to Alien Rom, it's just slightly better. So I again switched to Arua's debloated Rom, it's much better, but I finally noticed that my phone is always hot with 3G standby, when I let it stand by with Wifi on, the phone is much cooler, only around 30C degree. I'm wondering if it's caused by the incompatibility of international phone's with AT&T's radio (currently using 01.77.30P from Aura Rom). Can someone suggest a better radio, or maybe a 4.5.2A based Rom that could work with Faux's OC kernel? Thanks a lot.

Do you really need the Faux123's radio with his OC Kernel? If not, I would suggest to flash back the stock radio. I have noticed the same thing, and I have done the same thing, I never needed that much RAW power on top of what is already on board. When my phone was way too hot for me to handle, i had to constantly keep my 3G off and underclock it to less than 1GHz to keep it cool.
I flashed the original radio from Faux123's forum, I haven't yet tested it much but now it appears to be far more better. I am going to test it a little more and see what's the outcome. But I am getting closer to the conclusion that it was all because of the At&T radio flashed on a non-At&T phone.
Cheers!!!

My ROM is AURA Build # 8, Bloated Version.
Kernel - Faux123, in past I used the 1.1 GHz OC version, then tried 1.3 from this link, http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...Unified-v0.1.9)OC-1.3GHz-SLQB-BFQ-EXT4-Aug-27, and then I flashed the Stock and went back to 1.1.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers!!!
Maybe I don't say this enough, maybe I say it too much. But are u wiping the previous kernel before you try and flash another? Are u wiping the previous radio out and then flashing or just flashing right over top of what u already had installed?

Before installing a new rom, I do "wipe date/factory reset", "wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe cache partition". Before flashing a new kernel or radio, I only do " wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe cache partition". Is that what you are talking about? Anything else I missed?

Total NOOB here, but I get confused on all the posts.
At one point I ran the Eugene's Vibrant4 rom with one RyanZA's one click lag fix on the one click root.
I ended up going back to stock and waiting for the JI6 OTA. I got impatient and downloaded the JI6 OTA zip from ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802240
Now I'm just running that on an unrooted Vibrant. I was wondering what is the best Kernel / Rom / LagFix to go with after this update? Are there any yet for the version listed in the link as it is not the leaked version of JI6? (having a hard time deciphering Roms and kernels for leak vs OTA JI6)
Also I have the larger nand chip according to the post here ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8322865&postcount=131
I was wanting to try the JAC XMOD ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791478
or the kingklick ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787410 but I don't wanna mess up my phone, I'm poor as heck and need my phone.
I also want to speed up my phone if at all possible and maybe lengthen battery life... (might be asking too much lol )
Any posts appreciated, and yes I know I'm noob!
yes you might be asking too much. I am currently running Simbionix 1.7 with jac's kernel with voodoo on the J12 modem O/C to 1.2. You will instantly see the speed of your phone increase.
I flashed the J12 modem because its supposed to give you increased battery life. After following the instruction on reconditioning the battery, It still wasn't that great even though others are reporting great battery life. I am going for broke and flashing Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel w/ the J16 modem tonight.
First step is rooting your phone with the one click root program and try them all out if you like. Its hard to mess up this phone as you can always flash back to stock with Odin. Even there is a few bugs with Sim1.7 its still a great rom and will be using it this till Froyo is released.
ok, thanks badaphooko01. I guess I will try the Jacs but not sure if I should be trying the voodoo version cause of the larger nand chip.
Ok so I had installed the one click root and Rom Manager, used them to load the Bionix 1.7 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel w/ the J16 modem even tho I see that voodoo is disabled due to my nand chip...and I haven't bought the SetCPU app yet.
Seems like my battery life went up huge even though I haven't yet reconditioned the battery. It was too late to finish after I loaded the rom, had to sleep for work. I figured I would recondition tonight but as it's going I may not need to.
This rom DOES help battery life and it sped up my phone so I am truly happy with it.
Thanks for the input.
Side note, I haven't noticed any freezes or reboots yet due to not having setCPU installed. But I also haven't had time to get all the apps I had previously back on my phone either. :/

You shouldn't be getting freezes or reboots at all. The only way I could see that happening is if you installed SetCPU and set the minimum clock speed below 200MHz. Right now without SetCPU installed you are running on the stock speeds of 200min / 1000max which should be fine.

I have to say, the random reboots sucks. I am running Bamf 1.6 remix. I wiped two times, and keep getting reboots every so often. I wish someone could figure out what the heck is going on
Nobody is going to figure out what the heck is going on without any information. What are you doing when it reboots? Overclocked? If it rebooted when u are using the browser make sure you have flash installed.

I did over clock . Over clocking can cause that huh? I did put it back down to 1ghz and have not have any more reboots
Mine runs steady at 1.5ghz. Any higher and I get random reboot.
Sent from my rooted Bolt running VirusROM + leankernel extreme 1.92
Each phone is different. Some can handle 1.9ghz oc and others can't handle any. Also undervolting makes a processor less stable as you are running higher speeds with less power.
No, thats not a storm. Its just my Thunderbolt layin down this post.
Are you on the newest Radio? Some people are reporting that the Leaked Radio is causing the problems. I did notice that after I flashed the leaked radio. I started having random reboots.
Leaked Radio.
I for one can second that comment about the leaked radio. I've noticed a lot more reboots since flashing the new radio... especially after the 4G outage last week and changing my phone over to Rev.A. I just turned Rev.A off after the third reboot of the morning... Hopefully that will get rid of some of them. If not, I'll have to flash back. I like the better GPS locks, but they don't do much good when my phone is rebooting itself sitting on my desk.
EDIT: Didn't help. Just rebooted again. Guess I'm going back to the old radio.

Yes it definitely can, hopefully that fixed your problem and bamf 1.6 is a sweet ROM you should really like it.
I have had the new radio since it was released and never had a single reboot so that must not be affecting everybody. Maybe it is another factor causing reboots?
please check out my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094355
Hello - this is a pretty n00bish question but I have had a hard time finding the exact answer I was looking for on this threads and on Google. The Thunderbolt is my first Android phone, and I got it last week and already rooted it with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I also have WidgetLocker, Launcher Pro, and other programs to really customize the phone. I was playing around with the DAS Bamf Toolkit and I was noticing the CPU and governor settings. I was wondering what CPU settings and governor settings people use? Right now I have the default, which is 1.037 Ghz at max frequency, 245 Mhz at min frequency, and using the ondemand governor. I have seen a lot of people use the smartass governor, and I was wondering what the difference does - especially between interactive and conservative (powersave and performance I can guess at what they specialize in). What would be the best settings for optimizing battery life while still having good performance? I know a lot of people say to do your own testing and find out what works best for your phone and your needs, but I am just curious at what other people work at and how they like their settings.
Another question I have it about different kernels. Right now I am using the kernel that came with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 (2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)), but I know some people have been using Imoseyon's kernels. Do people find their phone more or less stable when using Imoseyon's kernel on Das BAMF instead of using adrynalyne's kernel? (I figured since he was one of the people who developed Das BAMF, his kernel would work best, but it seems to me a lot of people have been mixing/matching).
One final random question that I thought of while writing this thread, I also only ever flashed Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; I never flashed any new radio or anything like that because at first I assumed it came with the ROM, but reading some threads on the forum, it seems that comes separate, and I am not sure if the stock/leaked radio is better/worse for battery or if it works with the ROM.
Again, sorry if these sound like very amateur questions but I just want some clarifying on these things and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
Other information about my phone:
Android Version: 2.2.1

Expiramenting with what combination works for you is the best idea, HOWEVER, always backup what works, and make sure you have the right radio for the ROM you're flashing. Three quarters of what makes this fun is funding out what will and will not make your phone better. The other half is learning how to fix what you just broke.
Also, In my expierience, overclocking to anything over 1.6ghz causes problems.
Sent from my super duper deluxe rooted re-romed Thunderbolt. ( and yes, it can also wash my car AND do the dishes)
heres a list of readios ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 im on das bamf 1.6.3 with the first one on this list and it works great. also im on that same kernel overclocked to 1280 max and 368 min and i have great speed and battery life (also using setcpu and underclocking to 368 max when screen off so thats probably why ). using the ondemand governer. never tried smart ass but heard good things. the conservative is good for saving battery i use it on my screen off profile.
Awesome, I am going to try to flash that radio... Is it bad that I am not flashing it around the time I flashed the ROM, or would that still be fine? And again, I am sorry if this next question sounds amateur, but to flash it, I would just copy the PG05IMG.zip to my SD Card, reboot my phone in Bootloader (or Recovery?) and install the radio from there (assuming I first wipe the cache/dalvik, or do I need not to do that for radio?).
My battery life is fine, I have the extended battery and I get about 31 hours (but I am on Wi-Fi a lot instead of 3G, which I heard is better for battery, and I am not that heavy of downloading/games), but I heard people getting 2+ days, so maybe flashing this newer radio may show improvements, who knows, ha.
I will have to download SetCPU, because at first I thought you can only change the CPU settings on the Das BAMF Toolkit, but it looks like SetCPU has a lot more options. Dak_181, when you say you have great battery life/speed, how much out of your battery do you get?
BACKUP when making these changes. 10 minutes can save you an hour.
Right, I use Nandroid and Titanium Backup - if I were to flash a new radio as well as Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel, should there be an order I do it in (radio first, then kernel, or kernel first, then radio?), or does it not matter?
smartass is interactive gov with some tweaks (interactive makes the CPU clock up faster when you interact with the screen) and basically does a conservative screen off automatically. i think the max clock speed on the TB Is like 400 while the screen is off. i might be wrong on that number but you get the idea.

InteractiveX sets the cpu @ about 250 ish when the screen is off. That is the lowest idle state for the most part, I did however see some testimg trying to get 184mhz to work.

it doesnt matter when you flash the radio, and you dont need to wipe data or cache. to install put it on the root of your sd card and reboot into.. recovery? whichever one you get to by powering off then holding down volume and power untill it starts up. it will find the update and install it automatically then reboot. make sure to delete it from sd card right away or youll get problems next time your flash anything. and i got about 15 hours with the stock battery and pretty consistence use in a low coverage area (bouncing between 1x and nothing all day).
15 hours with NO 4G I presume? I got about 8 hours of medium use in a good 4G coverage area. I am running BAMF 1.63 with BAMF Toolkit CPU on SmartAss gov. No overlooking.
Does it make a big difference to install the kernel first or the radio first? Also, does anyone think they find better results using Imoseyon's 2.5.1 kernel on Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, or do they find using the stock kernel for that is best since it was made for that ROM?
And thanks for all the help about installing!
I am getting ridiculously good battery life and performance with Das Bamf 1.6.3 and Imoseyon's leankernel 2.5 running on extreme with custom undervoltage and interactiveX governor.
One of the key contributors to my battery life is the custom undervoltage. The leankernel extreme is already undervolted, but to be compatible with more TBs it isn't undervolted as much as it can be. After the tweaks i made, which included setting the min clock speed to 368 since I have it using the same low voltage as 245 (750 mv).
I have heard that smartass also gives great battery life with imoseyon's kernel, but since interactiveX has been so good I have had no desire to switch.
I hope that helps!

thats right. it was part wifi and part 1x/nothing. i have crappy service in my area. also recently learned that having task killers is useless on the thunderbolt and its actually draining my battery. gonna see if it changes without it today
If I were to install the radio using ClockwordMod Recovery (I guess the option to install .zip from SD Card), and it happens there is something wrong and I want to go back to the stock radio I had, would that be where Titanium Backup/Nandroid comes in play, or do they not backup radio stuff, and I would have to find another .zip of the stock radio?
(Again, sorry if this sounds n00bish, I am just very new to this and I want to be sure I know what I am doing, I appreciate all the help I am getting here, it is awesome )

I know about managing the CPU clock, but what is undervolting do? I don't have that option in my ROM, so do I have to download it somewhere?
What exactly the SmartAss governor do?
Yeah, I second lanwarrior, I am confused at how exactly to undervolt my phone? Is that just in the CPU settings when you go and change them in SetCPU or Das BAMF Toolkit?
Radios, have to be renamed to that special name(PG..... Whatever it is lol) and on the root of the SD card. Then you go to hboot (power + volume down when booting) and it will automatically scan for the file and ask to install if it does.
Trying to install the radio from recovery won't work to my knowledge because it can't update the radio that way I believe, only through hboot.
And to revert back to an older radio, there is plenty of radios out there to try and see which one works. If you are planning to upgrade to the new gingerbread radio that was leaked, I'd highly suggest you wait as because of the recent(today) rumors of it super bricking phones. If I left anything out about the radio, feel free to ask.
About the kernels, I'm not too sure about. I do know about the governors mostly, as for the underclocking , it just means that people are making their lowest CPU speed (the Min CPU setting mostly) go lower than normal, pretty much like the concept of overclocking. Kernels tend to be the same but tweaked in many different ways, like how the voltage is and how specific you can be with setting a specific CPU speed.
Some kernels also have more/better tweaks making them faster and more battery efficient.
Best thing to do, is mix and match these things to find the one that you find that works best.
And one last note: ALWAYS MAKE BACK UPS.
I have learned that multiple times by now, especially when screwing around with that stuff

Awesome, thanks so much for your help. I just recently found this thread as well that gives good explanations on how to flash using ABD (I am not using their radio, but their instructions are nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128). I still might just copy it on my SD card and then try through Bootloader, the way you described (sounds a little easier to do). And no no, I was not planning on doing the GB radio - I am staying away from GB ROMs and that of sort until the actual release of it and people have been using the ROMs for a bit and know it is stable/will not brick the phone - I am fine with Froyo for now. I plan on just installing the first radio link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128, which is the 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo - I have been told that works fine, but knowing my luck, something might go wrong, ha).
Based on some threads I have been reading, Imoseyon 2.5.1 kernel seems to work very well and seems to have no problem with Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3. I think I might try installing the radio tomorrow, then the kernel, then installing SetCPU and playing around with the SmartAss governor a bit since that also seems to be popular (even though I am not 100% on what it does yet, ha, but I guess I will find out).
I currently get around 31 hours of battery life (with extended battery) on mainly just Wi-Fi and doing minimal downloading and doing some texting/calls, which seems good, but I feel there are a lot of people getting even more so I might try to get more out of my battery.
Well like I said, find what works best and always backup! Haha. I went through a couple different radios to find the best one for me. The other one I tried, would make me reboot a couple times a day randomly. And now the one I'm on, not a single reboot since it has been installed.
But others say it the other way with this one rebooting and the other working, so just gotta find the best.
And don't forget to delete the radio off the SD card root ASAP just in case you get stuck rebooting and need to go to recovery. (Only way to get in without fully booting is through hboot, which will try to install the radio every time only unless it is deleted. ) believe me I have been stuck in a bootloop with a radio on the SD card lol. Only way around it was use my sisters phone to delete the radio from the SD card

Oh jeez, thanks for the advice. If you do not mind me asking, which radio are you using/which one gave you the random reboots a day one? Which ROM are you on (if you are rooted)?
Hey guys I love all these custom ROM's but honestly the battery gets drained so fast it takes the fun out of it. I was wondering if there was any specific ROMs that were easier on the battery>?? The only feature I truly use on these things is the wifi tether, other than that I don't care if the phone is a litte slower etc, i just want to be able to make it a day on 1 battery..TIA
I can easily make it a full day with the PowerWashed 2.0b3. Yet I also have Juice Defender Ultimate installed.
Ill be quite honest, gingerbread is not what its cracked up to be imo... I have found that powerwashed 1.2 ed05 froyo w/ pbj 0808 kernal is one of the most stable roms out there. Im getting between 1.5-2% percent battery drain per hr. That means I go 2 days without charging the phone with normal use. Heavy use such as browsing the internet for a couple hrs and sending dozens of texts usually equates to charging the battery once a day or slightly better. The only issue is not all fascinates play nice with the -100 undervolt that the pbj kernal has built in. If thats the case, then just run the otb fusion kernal that come with pw 1.2...battery life is still good(2.5% per hr) and you can overclock with that kernal, but truthfully overclocking does not really improve much imo.
Wow thanks guys! Yea I am on MIUI and its horrible.. I will look into the ROMs you guys suggested..thanks!
vanilla gb is insane. running with the glitch 9/15 kernel, undervolted, smartass, noop and usas tweak applied, simply the fastest rom i've ever used battery is also holding up really well, but I have the naztech 2400 installed just yesterday, so battery should only get better with more charges. pwgb is also really good, but the file system is still samsung rfs, which is really slow. Pw froyo is probably the better choice for most people with pbjt kernel which has voodoo. Ill stick with vgb and see how battery does and if it doest yield me 6hrs of screen on time ill switch back to pw froyo and see how it does.

I had the same problem with bln not working on this kernel. What worked for me was to flash the older 0531 kernel first,then flash the 0808 kernel. Bln works fine after that.

The last super rom I had (battery wise) was superdark dj05... I could listen to music for 8 hours and have 70% battery left... 10 hours of light use 87%.. There has been no gingerbread rom to come close to that sweet sweet rom

Actually pwgb beta 3 with adrenaline shot mod is yielding some crazy results for me. Screenshots to follow when battery decides its held on long enough.
Only my 2nd day on ED05 powerwashed w/ pbj0808, but man I must be doing something wrong. At BEST my battery is draining roughly 5% an hour and thats with practically little to no use. NO clue how you guys are getting such good battery life...
Seriously, just odin the pwgb and flash the adrenaline v7 and thank me later.

What kind of programs do you have open/on, on a daily basis? I found that twitter absolutely destroyed my battery. I actually turned notifications off unless its a DM or @ me, otherwise I just open Plume and refresh to read the timelines.
Its doing A LOT better since then. I haven't used the phone much, but its only at 75% and Its 140pm, been off the charger since 6am
I am gonna see how it is this weekend when I am actually using it more
@Droidstyle: I was thinkin of trying out for starters the rom you recommended "powerwash 1.2 ed05 froyo w/ pbj 0808 kernal" but when i did a search for powerwash 1.2 the thread mentioned that it was outdated and to try gingerbread...just a little confused since i'm still new at this: considering my samsungs fascinate uses this base band (this is the general info of my phone Model : SCH-I500
Firmware Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version: S:I500.04 V.ED05
Kernel: Version 2.6.32.9 )
i will have to use a rom that supports ED05? or am i okay to try out any of these roms? did a lot of reasearch today, just trying to narrow it down as to which rom will be the most apt for me (meaning which one will i get the best use out of) and what will i be able to do after that? do i apply themes from the themes section, or i can only do that if they correspond to that specific rom? to anyone in the room please enlighten me, i've spent almost all of today researching this and would greatly appreciate help from the experienced...

Im not sure why he did that... Its a very functional rom and is up to date as much as it needs to be. Read my guide, uses that rom for an example on how to install a froyo rom. You are not limited to what your base band shows, you can flash 2.3.4 gingerbread roms if u like,, but they still have a few minor bugs. Actually 2.2.2 pw 1.2 ed05 is the most functional rom up to date imo... everything lse still has minor bugs to work out.
@DroidStyle thanks man, your guide to flashing power wash is pretty direct, but i'm a little lost here...Isn't the Rom mgr. program you install for the market used for flashin the Roms so that you don't have to odin the rom to the fascinate? also, can I apply whatever themes? ...ie: are those used to customize ur GUI?

Stay away from rom manager!!!! It only works for the mtd based roms such as cm7, miui, aosp... even then odin is a much more reliable way to work with the fascinate. imo just get use to the fact that your going to have to use odin most of the time when flashing.
hi, all
yesterday i updated my Atrix 4g to 2.3.6 rom NottachTrix. coming from the Darkside, i have found that the battery drains really fast. 20% in an hour or so with very light use. i did not have any problems with the Darkside. being a new user i can not post in to the development thread but someone else is having similar problems there. could anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers
I had the same problem with an ICS ROM. Try disabling sync when you don't use you phone, this sucks your battery as hell.
i have the same problem with ics rom y changes kernel 3 times but is the same, any one now how to fix..
so far i have tried everything used fauxs 1 ghz non-overclocked kernel, tring set sync off etc but no result. i am trying to flash new radio now...
Download CPU spy to see if you are getting deep sleep and see what the CPU is doing. Report back your findings.
Also check what's using the battery the most.

Try doing a complete wipe and flashing the ROM again.
I remember I had this issue with Neutrinos ROM and doing the above method fixed everything.
you can try to wipe battery stats in recovery
I've just instalalled neutrino on my device twice. I forgot to wipe the user data and was having similar issues. Now its back to normal for me.
I'm running the latest Nottachtrix and my battery life is awful too. I've flashed this a few different times with the same result, wiping the cache, dalvik cache, and, and user data, and I've tried many different kernels, all with the same result. I have not tried wiping battery stats yet, but I'll give it a shot. I think it might be a problem with the stock Atrix 2.3.6 rom in general and not what Nottach has done. I know other people have reported this in the Nottachtrix forum too.

which radio are you using?
i also got awful battery life on nottachtrix but i did change the radio to N_01.77.30P, due to some latin american users reports (i'm from chile) that this was the best radio for battery life and indeed i did notice a lot of difference. with 3 google accounts syncronized, wifi sleep policy to never off, whatsapp, viber and almost 90 apps, i get a day and a half of juice from heavy ussage and easily get 3-4 days of moderate use.
so, my recomendation is that you test some radios, it does make a difference. i'm currently on nottachtrix 1.3.1 with faux kernel to 1ghz.
