Now this is the only and of course, the official support thread for miks cm7, but please, please, do move on! This is old and although it was once the best and still is a good ROM, nighties are by far and large better.
The journey from alpha's of this ROM was amazing and very memorable.
THIS THREAD WILL REMAIN AS A DISCUSSION FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL ON MIKS ROM DUE TO SOME REASON OR THE OTHER. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SWITCH TO addfad's CM7 . it's more stable, more smooth, more bug fixes, no black screen, etc etc. I myself was and am a huge mik fan. And I switched very very late.. But now I regret it. So go go Adam! (that's his name)
So as the name says , this is a discussion thread for mik_os's latest mod of cyanogenMOD7 .. so here it is for you all . have any question ? any doubt ? any questions about battery life or kernels ? just post here ! simple ! and save mik_os some trouble ! remember ! dont post non-developement stuff in dev thread. PLEASE. A REQUEST.
here is the link to developement forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
so here are some lill advices:
1. read up. its very easy , and very usefull. search in the thread. there are more than 1000 users on xda and if u have a problem, its very likely that u arent the first one with the problem, and that someone somewhere has had the same problem! and it is also very likely that that person has somehow got the solution or aworkaround. its very adviceable to read the posts or, if u find that the problem of that person is solved, but dont find the solution yourself, u can either pm him or ask him as a reply.
2. this rom is extreemly stable and 10x better , faster , amazing , customisable than the stock rom. thinking about going for it or not ? i strongly recommend - GO FOR IT !!!
3. for best battery with to the par performance , go for miks 6.5.8 with fserves goldenleaf kernel - its amazing.
4. for best perforance with battery too, and a lill more tweaks, go for fserves gbs kernels with 6.5.8
5. for pure power and performance (with a very very very lill compromise with battery [only during use, cuz standby battery is amazing] ) go for franco's kernel. its pure awesomeness.
6. for all noobs, and to make it clear- 6.5.x has the .32 kernel tree only, which means francos 19.4 kernels and fserves kernels. and also paolo's kernels. for 6.6.x - only .35 kernels. which includes francos gb kernels.. v1 and further..
7. READ THE FIRST PAGE OF MIKS MAIN DEVELOPEMENT THREAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. (^^links above^^)

The battery life is pretty good with franco's v15.1 kernel. It lasts for about 2 days for me. The only issue I have is the WIFI sometimes after waking up won't connect, so I have to turn it off and then back on.

great now ppl will stop spamming mik thread well enough as mik put ur thread link in his devlopement thread it will easier for noob and even all to get their prob solved and discussed
btw i just recaliberated the battery totally(again) and will observe the battery life again and let you know ! hope to get as much as you (or atleast near) !

No tweaks, I use same as releasing for you. Just do not install crappy apps.
oh, once more: I don't playing games
with games it's about 10-15h.
doing as you said ! will see now !
Well i get a little over 2 days battery lifetime to, mostly on 2g(90% time) and common sense. I'm on mik_os 6.5 clean.
I update my apps, i read news, F1,WRC,etc all on WiFi. I usually use 3G to check-in on Facebook and upload a photo. I occasionally play ant smasher and angry birds.
I use GPS to track my biking routes...
It's more than enough for me, im a metrourban afterall.

Im on 6.5.2 with franco's tweaks.zip and its high benchmark scores ( 1351 Quadrant and 1400 AtunTu ) and also 2 days battery life with 3g always enabled wifi like 1 hour , music 1 hour , calls/sms like always =). With franco's kernel getting some FCs, getting lower benchmarking scores, didnt tested battery life. IMHO using native kernel is always better since it is optimized for this ROM.

vow ! i forgot ive done the same thing ! (flashed francos tweaks.zip ) performance is good my main point is battery.. i dunno how i completly forgot that i had flashed the tweaks zip !! will test both with and without the tweaks now.. will use the one with more battery life.. and me too sms is always on most of the time..
Kernel...
Hi all, i am using ROM Mik_os beta6.3, but without franco kernel i had battery life only about 1day (no games, half a day on 3g, half a day on 2g), 600MHz.
With franco kernel about 2 days.
Mik_os, when we can await more optimized ROM from you, with more battery life ?

Hi guys...
I just flashed my X10 Mini Pro but it is still having the same problem...restart by itself even i didn't do anything to that phone...( i already used this phone from january 2011 till now..) android version 2.1...
please...what should i do?
i don't know how to solve this....
=(
What ROM are you using... give people a little more information before asking.
My mini pro have been restarting too until I turned off JIT. Go to Settings→CM Settings→Performance→Ok, uncheck Use JIT and reboot. It should improve stability at cost of performance.
I think I just post here...
My x10 mini pro started to behave strange (firstly lags, freezes, reboots, later just constant reboots) about 2-3 weeks ago. I thought ok, I probably screwed something. Later not only while heavy use, but even after entering pin it rebooted, the pin->reboot->pin->reboot cycle went for some time (2-5 times mostly), usually waiting few minutes before entering pin or airplane mode helped (but after turning it off phone rebooted).
So 3 days ago I had enough, I used SEUS. But it's happening again! I reflashed again, restored only texts, synced with google account, nothing more, but phone rebooted few times.
So I'm wondering, does the phone have hardware issues or did SEUS leave some earlier stuff on phone memory?
(ROM 2.1.1.A.0.6)
Sorry for my bad english. Nov to the theme im having the same problem. onley thing that helped was to turn off all data conectionf via 2G/3G mobile network. So i can use just Wi-Fi when ever i connect to the internet whit mobile 2G/3G the phone restarts just like you discribed...
@j000
I think there is something wrong with hardware and I suggest you to give your phone to service. You can also check if turning off mobile data will fix it.
@Jurasek88
Trying to fix it isn't worth of effort so the best way is to do full backup of user data with Titanium, reinstall ROM you are using and restore data. If it doesn't help, you should give it to service or live without mobile data.
Tried various ROMs. Tried turning off JIT.
At the beginning everything works fine, then after a few days it's restart a day, the a couple restarts a day. 2 weeks later it restarts almost every hour.
It's so frustrating i feel like smashing the damn phone on the wall. I could install the original old SW, but it's a joke. What a piece of crap this SE.
Am I alone in this?
Why dont u guys install a CUSTOM ROM instead of using the Stock 2.1.. you'l get better performance n wont fell like throwin ur mini pro.. !!

That's exactly what I'm doing. I installed 2 different 2.2. Worked wonderful the first week and then restarts... Installed another one. Same ****.
Now using GingerDx but it eats battery like crazy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...

I am usin GinTonic.SE by slade.. No random reboots no battery drain, damn stable n fast.. So make a try fo this.. N dont foget to make a complete wipe after flashin the ROM.. I hope it helps..
Gintonic.SE by slade..
OmegaRED: With 2G I get EXCELLENT battery life. The longest I ever had. DX appears to be stable... No reboots at all. Nice.
I wonder what makes it suck battery like crazy in 3G....
faiyyaz: Thanks for the reccomendation. As long as DX is stable I think I'll stick to it... Is Gin Tonic better than DX in your opinion?

I recommend CyanoComb 1.4 and GingerDX v12 , stable and long last battery life (>> 2 days for me )
but I got problem when touching in 2.3.5 (always miss in typing letters in the corners ==!) so I chose CyanoComb 1.4

both are great roms for battery life but my vote goes to gdx. aside from it being a gb rom, it's constantly being updated. it's only gonna get better.

In fact, not better, but more beautiful... Maybe. Better for updated programs and libs. Check the changelog in X8 original post about GingerDX. ;-)

Most GingerBread ROMs are basically the same. What's differ is framework, theme and apps-pack.
Theme should not make any difference in stability or battery-drain.
Framework and apps-pack will.
Try to remove som preinstalled apps like DSP manager (removing this will increase performance and battery life).
paul-xxx made 2 ROMs that are the same framework, but diff theme and apps-pack. I find SonyBread insanely stabel (manually removed DSP manager). Not a single reboot since i startet using this (2 weeks now).
achyut made a list of apps he removed. get inspiration from this
yes most of the 2.3.5 roms drain battery, i installed advanced task manager so u can check which apps are always starting up in the background and try freezing with titanium backup to make sure they dont effect the running of device...make sure your not signed into latitude, disabe gprs and the'use my location ' for alot of useless things running,and a big 1 for me was the auto sync in settings-account n auto sync...all these help but no way as long as 2.1! iv just installed minicm7 pro 8, claim battery drain is fixed, by paulxxx BIG THANKS paul esp if battery consumptions improved
Hi,
which ROM has better battery life?

i don´t use my phone very much and have 4-5 days battery life with LG´s 2.2.2
can CM7 last as long?

as shhbz said, miks rom has a lot to give when it comes to performance but the battery life wont be as great as lgs 2.2.2 (my battery lasts about 2 days moderate usage, but its worth the performance)
edit: turns out u was using franco.kernel 18.1, which kills a lot of battery. I'll see how it goes now with another kernel

definitely. I'm using the kernel that came with miks 6.5.6 (which I believe is franco.kernel v18) and now I'm getting about the same battery life except on heavy usage
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
how to fix error in native sip rom mik 6.5.6.
It is the following problem. Whenever I make a call through SIP native-I always call sign even if the number for which I am connecting to is switched off or out of coverage. Explaining better if I call my own phone number and it is off I have ever heard sip native tone. I would like to fix this problem because I do a lot of calls over the Internet and thus never know if the phone is off or not ..
I sometimes manage to get 4-5 days with one charge too (that is on 2.2.1). When I tried void. #forever (yes, I do realize you're asking about cm7) with the built in kernel which is v17 I believe, I only managed to get about 3 days out of it. Even though my experience is not with the ROM you're asking about, I still hope that would give you some idea of what battery life is like once you go custom.

but its worth the performance
custom rom got good performance
so keep forcing u to play the phone
and longest i can use for it is 2day ==
stock rom 2.2.2 longest is 3-4days ~
mik's cm7 6.5.5 have sleep mode that increases battery life too much....
if u don't use ur phone too much u should try it... .
I had 70% using sleep mode after 3 hours still 70%... that was amazing for me...
Plz excuse my ENG1!
Im using Thjap kernel right now, V3.8 TEAM rom. Before that im using woflbreak V5 with thjap and doomlord kernel too.
Both rom i encounter some self-reboot, especially when i execute high power or performance hungry Apps such as like video recording and playing some games, even my freq was not above 994mhz.
So im come out with a theory that may be my battery and my motherboard do not support low voltage freq, so i wondering any pro can give me some advice?
If it is cause by low voltage problem, i would like to change it back to normal voltage, can anyone give me a <<dummy>> tutorial to change it? I would like to go for thjap or doomlord than Zkernel since thjap and doomlord kernel are more mature than Zmod.
Many thanks for the one who answer my question.

Hi.
Some people in ThJap's thread had the same problem too.
To try and fix the reboots go to
System/etc/init.d folder and delete 13vdd_levels file

Swap to the Zkernel, seems like voltage were not the problem at all, even Zkernel keep reboot itself when i play games or doing some heavy loaded apps............
well, i encounter this in WolfV5 and team V3.8, are my battery got problem or what?

Just contact with My_Immortal yesterday, we share many thoughts about the issue.
My latest discovery that it might not necessarily motherboard defect suggest by her theory.
yesterday i flashing the brand new TFT official stock rom with stock kernel, it still happend the reboot of dead. I'm shock that time, and thinking may be Immortal are right.
However i recall some memory that whe i connect to the AC dock, performance and stability were quite good, no reboot issue happend.
This morning i was able to test with custom rom with V3.8 by TEAM, running a heavy game (Guns and glory) test with AC power connected, it seems like the reboot of dead vanish, plus when i heavy use my phone the battery drop with very unhealthy rate, 5-10 minute of game play already consume more than 15 % -20% battery life.
Therefore i conclude it is the power supply problem, and it should be my battery getting old for torture.

As we know, the batterie calibration is a myth, a placebo. If the battery is physically degraded, saving is only in its replacement

When a battery degraded from old age or was damaged at the wrong use, then it is possible to notice that:
- a battery quickly charges and similarly runs down quickly
- a device is turned off at 5 or more % of charge
