You know the nuisance that was brought to us with 2.3.4? You know, the one that would not show the correct battery %? Well, here is the fix and I hope you enjoy
This will replace your battd and libbattd.so files with the previous 2.3.3. The files are in binary and I don't know how to convert them to a readable format, so until then, enjoy this fix and post your results for others to see the awesomeness. I will need you to do the following before you flash:
WIPE DALVIK-CACHE AND CACHE!
You may not have to do a data wipe and the battstat.bin should be fine as it is. If you flash this without a successful battery fix, then try to delete your batterystat.bin file(the file you calibrate a battery with), and see what your results are before posting that this doesn't work.
Enjoy
UPDATE:
The uploaded zip is not signed correctly from recent reports, so for now this is what you will need to do to get this working until I get the flashable zip working again. Sorry for the inconvience, thank sopa/pipa/FBI/whoever that shut down MultiUpload.
For now:
1. Push files to proper location.
2. Set permissions correctly to rw-r-r or

3. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
4. Reboot the device.

This should work for ALL future GingerBread builds and ROMs that don't have the issue resolved(ie 2.3.5)
This fix was originally found by juggernaut of the Atrix forum...didn't realize till after X0dus pm'd me.
Enjoy the fix and Happy Holidays!

To bypass activation screen, tap the android as quickly as possible/as soon as you see it! This will bring you to the normal setup and completely bypass Verizon activation until they're done with maintenance. Then you call the activation number (*228) and activate cell service as normal.

Preliminary test results:
I rebooted into recovery with 87% battery life, cleared cache & dalvik cache, flashed the newly fixed battery fix, rebooted, and battery life reports at 86%, as it should've.
Rebooted a second time and battery life is reporting at 85%.
Rebooted a third time and battery life is reporting at 85%.
Rebooted a fourth time and battery life is reporting at 85%.
No jumps in 4 reboots! I will let the battery drain a bit more, perhaps to 50% and try more reboots.

That constant 85% has me skeptical. Take it down just a few % pts and reboot. See if it jumps back to 85%. We would get similar results when we tested this mod.

If you have a DX2 this ROM is a MUST!!!!!! You have to down load it! Why Motorola would let Verizon fill the phone with some so crap is beyond me. Stock, the phone was a little buggy and made me wish asurion would give me back my cracked DX. It was choppy and the 512MB of RAM got was used up quickly with all the BLUR (Yes its good now but 512MB isnt enough). Stock google with no blur equals a dual core phone that flies!!! Take your time, follow the directions and you will never look back!!!
+1, your insight is well outspoken.
Thanks for the review brandon. It made me switch from liberty to cm7. I'll never look back! (except for miui )

Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
alright well so far what i have noticed with this rom (and i came from the most recent version of eclipse) are the following:
1.) Battery life is much worse than before. i used to have 70 to 80 percent on days i wouldnt use or touch the phone and it would sit in my pocket for 90 percent of the school day. i barely touch my phone in school and when i got home today after practice, i was already down to 30% which made me slightly depressed.
2.) ive noticed there are small amounts of lag sometimes with the phone, granted when i was running eclipse, i was running speedy and a 3g script.
3.) i have had a little trouble with the gallery but it might just be the fact that my memory card is starting to poop on my face because its overstuffed to the brim
so now for a few questions. can you run any of the good scripts with cm7 because i really dont see alot of this speed that everyone keeps talking about compared to when i was running eclipse. is there also a way to increase the battery life like delete the file that saved the previous battery stats?
thanks for reading btw
Regarding your question about scripts, I believe the general consensus is that the scripts that we had run on the other ROM's should not be necessary.
However, someone in another thread posted this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21689117&postcount=3 and claims it helped w/ his battery life. He doesn't say by exactly how much, but he seems happy.
I haven't had many issues w/ battery life and I've seen improvement over the Eclipse rom, but you might want to monitor your current battery usage for patterns.
thanks! but yeah ive also noticed with this "hacked" cm7 recovery that when i try to install it it wants to force close, and when i click wait, a few seconds later it says install success! and when i click recovery mode it just shuts off and never reboots. whats the problem?
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
and another problem ive found is that sometimes when my phone starts up, i get the roaming triangle next to my service strength bar and it flashes. why is it doing that?!

Great review, enjoyed the video as well! I am so stoked about this rom! I just flashed it last night. I have not been this excited about my X2 since the first Gingerbread rom was released.
I do notice a big decrease in battery life but I am going to try and calibrate the battery and see if that helps. Also, I'm going to give it a few days too since I've been using the phone more than usual too setting everything up.
Well I have been using MeanRom now since version .05 and have been staying up to date ever since, I know I should have posted earlier but just keep running out of time. All in all I think the ROM is very good and has meet all my needs for a base plus ROM, the only issues that I have been having is powering down, some have releases have worked better than other but I have wanted to post up my battery stats but every time the phone re-boots I lose that data. Also if I forget to check the file ‘performance=battery’ it flips back to performance and I don’t realize it for a day or two. I like all the enhancements and look forward to them each time a new one comes out. If anyone has any ideas for what I should check to stop the re-boots I would love to hear, I have done all the recommend full reset and not restoring app data but it still happens. My best battery time is 1 day 4 hours and 33 min.
Still hving issue with re-booting

I have searched our Forum for anything on this phone overheating and there is one thread that I came across, but most people did not really have this issue at all. I mean in normal usage doing pretty much nothing my phone holds at 45-50C, given that is with all four cores operating, and if I play a game the cores have reached 70C and up, I am almost certain that is simply too high for this phone to be operating at. Also, even when I use eco mode the phone still idles around 40C and will reach temps as high as 64C. I am just wondering if I am alone or people have actually tested this also and have results similar to mine. I was hoping maybe there might be potential fixes for this or would I need to get a replacement device?
Don't have a great answer for you but I can tell you the phone has some safeguards in place. One that I am aware of is the screen brightness will self-dim until the phone temp drops.
Arlington- as in TX.?

Yeah, I live in Arlington, TX. Yeah, I noticed the self-dim feature, but that happens way too much, and too often, I mean I rarely get to use the phone at 100% brightness and no phone should be like that in my opinion. I am just curious if other people are dealing with similar issues, but I am checking eco mode now and my temps on idle are 36C-38C, its when I actually use my phone as a quad core phone, shocking, that it gets waaay hotter. I mean its hot on the back of the phone when I touch there and when I check the temp with an app. I feel I should be able to use my quad core as a quad core when need be, not have it get so hot its unbearable to hold, plus I don't want to do any damage with it reaching 70C temps.
Me, too in Arlington.
I would definitely say based on that it would be a good idea to exchange it, those temps are a bit much.
All og's get hot like that when playing games, etc. It is just how it is designed - like it or not / love it or leave it, lol.
I would have preferred they make the phone a little thicker with more heat sink so it could run full speed all the time when needed.
But they didn't. So, oh well. Maybe my next phone will fix that someday.

If you are using a phone for AT&T network on T-mo, it is possible that is adding to the temp prob, not an expert here just an educated guess that the more it tries to find network signal the warmer it may get.

Well, the strange thing is that I reverted back to stock everything, no root, or unlocked boot loader, and my overheating issue has been solved.. Weird. I only get around 35C even doing a benchmark with all four cores running at the same time. I think the Base rom and kernels still have some bugs that need to be worked out. I idle at 22C now, woot!
Glad to hear that!! Nice work.
am using the new build from Team Nocturnal with no probs. You might want to read through the thread first as some are having issues.... point is, no overheating and battery life seems good so far.
One thing I learned by testing, even going to the extent of exchanging my phone 2 days ago - if you charge your phone while it is off and unplug the charger it will drain the battery because it does not shut down the charge animation. The workaround is to simply turn the phone on and let it boot, either leave it on or then it is ok to turn off.

Oh wow, I did not even know that was an issue, ha, well, thanks for the heads up on that and I think I have to send my phone off to LG sadly, according to AT&T, but when I get it back I will be looking into their new base rom, I did skim the thread a little, and I am glad to hear there is no overheating. I am not sure if it was a kernel issue or the base rom itself, which is puzzling.
You may have selected Sk8's kernel during The Base's installation. I can't speak for it myself, but it's different than the stock kernel and may have been causing the problem?
Speculation at best.
No worries, Its what I am doing right now, just speculating, I mean I actually selected both kernels in the base rom, and tested them out. I was trying to figure out what the issue was. I think it might not have left me do a clean install, as I did select Sk8's Kernel first. So, I am thinking that the kernel stuck, even when I did a full wipe, before reinstalling and using the other kernel. I also was getting Kernel crashes, and it kept showing up a kernel crash screen, and asked me to go into download mode to store the dump file on my computer. I am new to android/Linux things, I am far more familiar with Windows based things, but android is the freedom OS of mobile devices. I like the customizations and things you can do with it, lol. Its sweet, and I am learning everyday, so that I can possible become a Dev later on. I have ported some things before and I know other forms of coding, just not the required programming languages for Linux.
My guess would be Sk8's kernel as well, I know it has the gpu overclocked, so if you are running graphics intensive apps it doesn't surprise me that you can be getting overheating issues.
Maybe try the bootloader unlock again to reinstall the freegee kernel...
Just a suggestion.

v1:
- initial release
v2:
- added GPU OC and UV settings
v2.1
- revert GPU settings until i get them more stable
- add voltage control via sysfs (use system tuner to select your custom UV settings)
- fix the black screen issue for alot of users
v2.2
- fast_charge on usb (icon will still show as slow charge but it will actually charge faster)
- cpu tweak to enable use of all freqs in high stress times like games and benchmarks
^ That is the change log for Sk8's Kernel, the gpu isn't overclocked anymore, it was in the initial release. So, I know its not that, and as I stated in a previous post I tried both of them, but even when I wiped everything, I think that Sk8's kernel was sticking. The reason I say this is even after a fresh install and selecting Freegee Kernel during installation, when the rom booted back up it would show Sk8's Kernel, and I would get Kernel crashes, which would also lead to a Crash screen, asking me to go into download mode to save the dump file. Though even after messing with that and monitoring it for several days, its hard to tell what it was, but I do know I am not having the issues anymore when I brought everything back to stock, I can assume it was one of the kernels, a combination, the base rom, but I am not 100% sure.

Shows what I know, lol.
I was going by what I read for the Base ROM Aroma installer description, maybe the Base is still using an old version, but if you installed it on your own, then you should have been the latest.
Sorry, lol.
Ive been messing round with a couple of different ROMs lately I was using super nexus build 5 then tried the test build 1 that the dev linked to on Saturday. My phone kept resetting then so didn't think much of it and flashed back to the build 5 that was working fine. I still had the same problem. After some trial and error I realised that it didn't reset when plugged in and I think the battery is showing full when it isn't. It works fine until it switches off then boots to the boot screen and switches off again. When plugged in it comes back on with the battery showing 70% - 85% charges for 15-30mins then says full again. I've flashed back to a Samsung ROM still the same tried siyah kernel and reset fuel gauge ect still does it. I tried to post in the super nexus thread but I couldn't cuz of the lack of posts. Is it a faulty battery and coincidence? Can the battery stats.bin cause something like this ? I have tried calibrating the battery but when I charge it to 100% to reset the battery stats.bin i don't think its 100% more like 20% so is that throwing it out ?can it be edited to a lower % instead of 100% Any help will be appreciated cheer
turn off your phone. fully charge it and switch the phone back on. calibrate battery

Thanks for your reply what is the 'preload' as I've tried the full wipe and battery stats wipe already?
Just checked I don't have a preload option in Mount and storage, is it called something else?

New battery been in for a day now after a full initial charge it lasted about 18 hours and did empty to about 15% , another full charge and after 4.5hrs 85% so its looking like it was the battery.
Coming from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447&page=835
I have been having battery drain issues on beans town ROM ever since i loaded Build 7 (currently on build 10). 20% battery drop in 4 hours of sleep (even with the Wifi and 4G off)
I am trying to determine what is causing it. I have screen capture of the warnings below and the alarm screen is blank in Better Battery Stats- The other 2 attachments are from yesterday
I have Google location off.
I am strongly considering just going back to stock at this point- the drain is not acceptable.
Stock got 2 days with normal use (I have responded to other posts where they say it depends etc etc- understand that but- big but- normal use on stock for 24 hours took it down to maybe 55%- i can drop to 55% in 8-9 hours with the phone unused in sleep on this ROM )
You may not want to come off with attitude of you want people to help. It sounds like that in op.
Two things I notice. First your wifi is on in those shots. Service to be honest nothing seems abnormal

Except you used your phone so it wasn't just sitting. How long are those phone calls for? By the way are you in a bad signal area?

Hi- no attitude but I am wondering if I am the only one seeing this or not. I realize this is "for free" support and people help here because they love the technology or just want to help- so i appreciate that- sorry if I gave that impression.
I live in a heavy populated area in Atlanta with strong signal, even in the house (at least 3bars). the calls i think were 1 min 47 seconds if i recall correctly. regarding Wifi- i may have turned it back on right before the screen shot as I saw the battery still going down at pretty much the same rate)
I am wondering if it is an inherent HW problem with either the battery or something with the air interface- motherboard
Based on the screenshots, your phone was on for just under 5 hours, and wifi was on for 4.5 hrs of that time, so 90% of the time. If wifi was on, but not connected and was scanning, I could see that causing significant drain. Also, do you have any theme installed? Any other changes made to the ROM itself?

I have wifi set to turn off when phone is asleep- when i wake the phone, I see that wifi is off and it will reconnect to the AP at my house.
I lost some train of thought when switching threads but i believe Wifi was off (I know it shows on in the screenshot)- which makes me think something is amiss here in HW. that is why i am pretty sure i turned off all interfaces last night and left them off.
I also have power saving mode on for the phone.
The phone is at 51% currently- I will place it back on charger to take it to 100% then turn off all air interfaces and see what happens
That a good plan?
Go into your apps and clear the data on wifi share... why if your phone is sleeping it needs to be using wifi 58 percent of the time? ...this tells me an app is waking the phone...so look and see what is causing the most wake locks...once you find the app causing the most wake locks... Delete it and reinstall... Then go into the settings of that app and set your sync to a reasonable interval... Last of all go have three hours of coffee at star bucks and use their wifi to check and see if your modem is causing the problem...
Other solutions....use sd maid and clean all system, apps, and ghost files..
Do a davlik and cache wipe in recovery
And last effort do a davlik and cache wipe with a reinstall of your rom...
Keep in mind after each step your phone will use excessive battery because it will be adding files and moving things around... SO patience is important when cleaning and installing because it may take a few full discharges and charges before it settles down and gives you a good idea of what your battery life will be like
Also I am wondering... Two days with your phone on stock... But a whole day while rom'd...i am wondering...did you play with you phone as much when stock?... I know I didn't... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Quick thing have you wiped both caches and fixed permissions? Sometimes that will do wonders when the phone is acting up.
Also I was just pointing out it sounded like you were giving attitude. I actually figured you were just frustrated at this point. I've seen the posts in beans thread. So I wanted you to clarify before getting flamed.
The community will get this fixed. Beans had great battery life when I ran it before switching back to Eclipse so it's something going in on your phone.

I have a great idea, get rid of the task killer or set it to manual. Task killers will destroy your battery life if set to auto kill.
Also do you have an SD card? Take it out for a few hours and see what the battery life is like. If it gets better then copy everything to your computer and format the card and copy it back.

Thanks for the pointers. I will respond to all the questions ( I think) here
I have done this previously (did not help)- suggested also by another response
1. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions
2. upgraded to 2.4.3 TWRP from 2.3.2
3. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions again (twice on 2.4.3)
4. I have not done anything with regard to the SD card- I will look at that after looking at the Wifi closer
In Wifi- I can see wifi direct share process in all in one toolbox but do not see an app- I would assume wifi is part of the kernel. I am not sure how to clean the cache or delete/reinstall the wifi direct share unless it's a .apk hanging around outside the /system/apps folder-update- i found it- cleared data and will let rthe phone run for a few hours
I did not play around with the Stock build from VZW- it was 2 days right out of the box with "normal" call use.
The reason I think it's a HW issue is that this si a replacement phone for the one the girlfriend cracked after having a new one from VZW for 20 days. That was the phone that could go 2 days on stock unaltered VZW. This I am sure is a refurb from the repair depot. I placed Beanstown 7 on it right after I got it (I practiced unlocking on the cracked original phone)

Thanks for suggestion- Advanced Task Killer is set to disable (no auto kill already). I will look at SD card once i look at Wifi
Update this morning
Girlfriend used phone for maybe 30 minutes or so this morning. I have attached the better battery Stats
I noticed that Wifi is on and running most of the time- even though it is set to turn off when phone sleeps. Is the next step then to Starbucks or can I simply turn Wifi off
When i loaded Build10, I followed the instructions.
1. Wipe Data- I did not format data
2. Factory reset
3. Wipe Davlivk Cache and cache
4. Installed ROM
Manually turn off wifi. Also do you have another battery monitor app besides bbs? Ultimately though your phone is going into deep sleep so I'm not sure what going on

Ok will do- I do not have another app but happy to buy/try another one. I do have another battery as well.
She's out with the phone for a bit- do I need to fully charge and then turn off wifi or can I reset the battery stats (assume I can) and just turn off wifi?

Is that better? Bbs should tell you what's keeping it awake. I asked about sket monitor because I was wondering what your 1 partial wake locks was.

Just my two cents...i always use titanium or romtoolbox to delete maps as google maps was draining my battery.. Also kernel can make a difference..location servives and maps keeps wifi searching and almost constantly in use and if services on and wifi off they will keep trying to reconnect. I feel running maps is a battery waste. If i need directions i will google address. Call me old fashioned but ill read,read,understand the set my path..i prefer battery life
I get almost 48 hrs out of battery with 5hrs screen...only 24 with closer to 9hrs sscreen on, was half that with locations and maps running
