Guys,
This will significantly increase battery life by stabilizing data connection.
Please insert / update this line in build.prop
No signal lost means less battery consume...
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=100000 (Count Zeros.. You won't believe)
persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10 ( I'm using value of 99)
ro.ril.gprsclass=32 [/COLOR]
#Auto release memory /ram Mod
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
#Auto Image stabilization on phone screen
persist.sys.use_dithering=1
#Hardware Power Saving
ro.config.hw_power_saving=true
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0 ( 0 = No / False & 1 = Yes / True)
( 0 means Power Collapse should not be disabled )
Post your results...

can anyone confirm this works?
I added all three lines to my build.prop on Joker's JB 0.1.2 and I still have working 2G/3G services so it didn't break anything. Speed might be a little faster, I won't know if it helps battery wise until a couple of days have past.

So far this morning's battery life does seem a little better, so far it's around 1% less of a drain per hour. Data still does seem quicker, like it doesn't have to have wait time to connect and start data, data just works instantly when requested. I'll have more numbers later tonight
Also post what tweak you used, is it the same I posted or you played with it?

So I added these three lines to my buildprop on Jooker's CM10:
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=10000 (or simply play with this value for best results )
persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10 ( I'm using value of 99)
ro.ril.gprsclass=32
The results? After 14 hours on battery I was at 51%. That's only 3.61% drop an hour. (This is only my results and you'rs will vary) The best rate of battery drop per hour I have had on Joker's CM10 so far has been 4.4% so that is almost a 1% less battery. I do believe this is helping and over the next couple of days I'll see if this average stays the same. Thanks matriX1218

I'm pretty new to this, all I've really done is flashing of ROMs.
Where would I go about doing these changes/how do I perform the changes?
Use a root level file explorer,go to system/build.prop open in text editor and edit.I recommend root explorer or rom toolbox pro,which has a build.prop editor.

Thanks for sharing your results. Were you on 3G most of the day, or wifi? I noticed 3G drains my battery much faster on cm10 than it did on cm9. I'm about to make a backup and try these tweaks.

I was on wifi for 6 hours. But the comparison I made was also using wifi for about 6 hours at work before I made the tweak. After a couple of days later I have found I will keep this mod on all new roms since it seems to have helped some. Thanks again for finding this information I hope it helps others like it helped me
I added the first line, but my build.prop does not contain the second two variables. OP, do you mean I should find those variables and change their values to the ones you specify?
I added the first one (ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=10000) and put a comment above it.
While looking, I saw a date format setting. I changed it from MM-dd-yyyy to dd-MM-yyyy, saved (that, plus adding the line and its comment above) and rebooted. I don't see where the date format changed. Maybe I should change it back? Haha.
If you don't find any line, you can add it manually... it won't mess your phone..

hey guys. after installing juggernauts battery fix v2 2 days ago I have been getting horrible
battery life I'm on cm7 bell attic with faux 1.45 kernel here's a screenshot of my usage I did everything I should have when I flashed this Tom and the fix and calibrated it and stuff
And why exactly did you need to apply this fix? Was anything broken before this? Not trolling, just want more info on your problem. This screenshot really looks horrible.
Dude, are you oc'd min/max at 1,45 GHz, playing a game at full screen brightness while you're downloading something in an area with low hspa signal as your maps where calculating a route..?!
Can't think of any other way a battery can die like that. Hell, I don't even think all the above would deplete it like you did..
brightness is turned all the way down and my phone is id's at 800 :/ I applied this fix cause my battery life was only 10 hours but now it's like 5
You're doing all the above minus the brightness..?
Go through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198333 process, that will sort it out.
Also get betterbatterystats and look for whatever is eating battery.
P. S. What do you do in those 5 hrs that it lasts..?
It's the wake locks! I have the same issue but my battery still goes about a max.. probably 10 hours right now.....
all I do is text and play games for an hour at the most :/ and my brightness is all the way Down. it started doing this only after I applied the battery fix. which is very odd but I'll try calibrating it tonight
why haven't you charged your battery completely in 2 days?
I have the same issue .. battery is draining like hell .. !
I haven't had time to charge it but I did last night and its not draining that much anymore. ill try deleting the Facebook app and see what happens. I text quite alot though. probably send /receive 400 a day in total and go on Facebook all the tiem..kinda hard not to when you have al 6 gigs a month
also it says error when I try to turn on wifi and my phone shuts off randomly alot and it gets super hot..not sure if that's normal cause its underclocl when I use it :/
juggernaut fix only resolves the issue with the battery percentage jumping when you reboot phone. It doesn't resolve any battery draining problems.
The only thing I have to say to contribute here is that I'm on CM7, stock CM7 kernel, and my battery life has never been better. Many many users have reported the same.
some users report having like 20+ hours on their Phone..how is this possible? I'd be happy with even 16 hours. and ohh. yeah I was hoping that my battery percentage was just off and yeah haha. what do you mean. like your battery life got better since then or it never got better then any other rom?
Thought id post this cuz its been a while since I've had this kind of battery life.

Ive always found the default CM7 kernel as having the best battery life. Faux kernel is more responsive but even with the enhanced 1ghz with/without undervolting, my battery drain is a lot worse.
Ive created a CWM zip just with the default kernel from weekly 3, its newer than the nightly ones and works great for me with the miui alpha as well

This is just not true. There are times when CM7 has battery jumping when I use it and the fix fixes it for me. He clearly has jumping issues from his attached img.
There are many settings to fix it.

I own a Droid 3 but my dad has the x2 and he needs better battery life so I plan on rooting the phone and putting a custom rom on it for him so I wanted to know which rom would be best for him. He uses e mail phone calls and texts a lot and sometimes YouTube videos. If someone could post links for the best suited rom for him along with any scripts that help performance as well as battery that would be great. Also, do I need to install a custom recovery from somewhere else or do I use cwm from rom manager?

Here is everything you need for this phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313103
Any rom will essentially have better battery life since they are all pretty much stripped down versions of the stock ROM. I suggest eclipse. The speedy script and battery fix script are very highly recommended too.
EDIT: Rom Manager doesnt really work with the Droid X2. So you will need the Bootstrap Recovery in the link I posted.

Thanks, there's a lot of scripts, which would u recommend flashing over the eclipse rom?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
The battery fix is a must if you want accurate reading. I am running eclipse 1.3 with speedy v7. Also v6 supercharger but that is more for my gaming. And also the mash up v .5 I am getting between 10-14 hrs on a charge and that is pretty heavy use. On my day off I can go between 8 and 10 hrs but that is very heavy use then. Oh ya make sure you wipe battery stats when you flash or calibrate it after.
All are safe to use, which is why they were put in that thread. Just read every threads OP before flashing since they usually have instructions to wipe certain things. And I believe the mash up script tells you to turn wifi off before flashing. Just read and you will be good.

Ive had my best battery life with Eclipse. Ive been pulling 20+ hours with moderate use. Mostly texting, checking some web pages and trolling XDA and Facebook.
Ive also seen an increase from turning off network provided time under date/time in settings.

I can vouch for the turning off of "network provided time"if settings. It seems the phone "sleeps" better when it is idle.
Also another way to ensure better battery life is by getting into the habit of REBOOTING the phone(power off/on) after EVERY TIME you take it off of the charger. There is a thread explaining why this helps ...I just don't feel like looking for it right now sorry lol

I think its a problem with stock GB (seems to be a few issues with stock). But it transfers over to the ROMs because there is no fix for it yet other than to restart.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible with what you do with your phone or anything that results from my edit/mods.
Nandroid Backup! Its your friend!
READ ENTIRE POST
Mention what rom and mods u used with results in a post please!
**If you flashed mashup and miss your data speed you need to redo mod 1**
One user that was plauged with switch to 1x being reported it being eliminated by the mods
Confirmed working on MIUI, eclipse 1.2 & 2.0.3, stock 2.3.4 and CM7
Mod 1 "may" work on any other 3G phones, mod 2 when posted "may" work on other 3G MOTO phones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mod 1
The Problem:
Since I do not have internet at home and I live in a poor service area any increase in 3G data speeds I can get is beneficial. So, I started looking into a way to increase my 3G data speeds.
Please let me know what rom you are using when you post something
Note: The first boot I did on some of these took a few minutes for 3G to first come up. Any reboots later it showed up immediately. I had no service issue and triangle once or twice while I was checking all of these. Reboot always fixed it.
The Solution:
First, nandroid backup prior to changing anything on your phone is a good policy to follow.
Most of the build.prop edits I’ve found are for GSM phones. I did find one thing that might help. I have confirmation from another source this hack works for them as well.
The line to be edited in build.prop which is in your /system/ folder by root explorer, root browser or any other editor/method of choice (make sure you backup your build.prop first):
Code:
persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=1
Change the “1” to “10”, save your build.prop, and reboot.
You can change the 1 to 1-10 and null or blank.
These are my results below in kb/s.
1=baseline 75-100 kb/s
0= no service – Don’t do this!
2-5 = 100 kb/s with some temp increases
6-9 = 150-200 kb/s
10 = 250-350 kb/s
A null value gives me 150-300 kb/s with large fluctuations.
I found that “10” gave me the best speed with most consistent results.
These speeds were clocked in actual large file downloads not a speed testing app.
I found that speed testing apps do not give accurate results. The real downloading gives real results.
Note: With this a tester was getting 500kb/s downloading a rom over 3G.
Please reply back with any results you find as I am looking for conformation of my findings.
If you try this in a different ROM please let me know your findings as well. This SHOULD work in any rooted X2.
Doesn't work on liberty for the moment. Gonna attempt it on fully stock liberty soon
Thanks to MoonShadow-NM for his assistance with the write up

Mod 2 - Can be used along with Mod1
Atrix lib replacement mod
This mod I found helped with increasing data speeds in my poor service location as well as an increase in speed in a good service location
Signal at a horrible -102 dBm I was getting a consistant 200kb/s download where I only had 100kb/s before using this in conjunction with mod 1 at a value of 10
Signal at a nice -62 dBm I got a nice 400-500kbs consistant download speed where I only had 250-300kb/s before using this in conjunction with mod 1 at a value of 10
Note: You may see a better increase as I am a huge data user and subject to network optimization by evil red.
This mod at my house also stopped my phone from jumping between two towers. One with a -130 signal and the better with a -102.
The attached file is an Atrix lib_motoril.so file. It is a different file from our stock blur file. It is about 50kb smaller in size then any X2 blurbased non-port rom file I found. It was given to me to try by a Alien port user after talking with him about his nice data speeds and connections prior to any modifications.
This is a fairly easy file swapping mod.
Download the attached atrix lib and extract wherever you want.
Navigate to the /system/lib/ folder in a file manager of choice and either backup by placing a .bak after the .so of the original libmoto_ril.so file.
Go to where you extracted the Atrix lib file. Copy and paste that file to your /system/lib folder and then set permissions to the rw-r--r-- for it..
Reboot and let me know if you had the same good results as me.
Thanks to kinevil for the atrix lib and idea to try this file!
I make sure BSR is installed before I try anything so I can do a battery pull and get into BSR. Wipe cache and dalvik if any issues come up first then you can always nandroid after that if needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mod 3 - May help with connection stability. Not speed.
Easy build.prop addtion
In a fike manager such as root browser and root manager got to /system/ and open your build.prop to edit.
Add the following line.
Code:
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=
The standard mod for this us 1000. Feel free to play around with it. Please post your results.
Happy modding!
Confirmed not working on MIUI. Causes data refusal, and system force close.
Worked for me, doubled the speed. Thanks for the tip!

This mod crashed my service. After rebooting, I received the triangle and dialed *228 and *22899 with no luck. It failed to activate and update my phone and gave me a "no network" message.
Reset value and phone works again.
Update: Went back and reread OP just to make sure. Noticed 0 was no service and thought I'd better try again just to make sure. Set value to 10 and had the same result. Set value to 9 and it worked. So tried 10 again and it worked. Not sure why but...
Changed it on Eclipse 1.2 with everything listed in my sig. No clue if its actually helping since I'm downloading a 9 MB update from the App Store and its going at 20 - 25 Kbps.
Edit: Testing with the Speed Test app getting just 400 Kbps instead of what you stated the usual 1200 - 2000. Websites seem the same but downloads are worse. Will keep using it for a day or so but every other 3G boost mod had never worked or made it worse on my phone. Especially 3G Turbo Booster.
Tried this on CM7 lost data connectin and had the roaming triangle. After several reboots and *228 2 it Finally came up. Im not noticing a huge difference yet, but I believe Im be throttled like crazy now. I'll know for sure if it make a difference when I get home.
Edit
Im seeing the difference now, and yep it is faster.

I tried this on Liberty and after a reboot I the Motorola systen was fc'ing as was the some android media something. When I first tried to change the number to 10 it root explorer wouldnt let me add another digit, I could change the digit and did so to 9 but thats when I started having system fc's. Im now installing cm7, again, and then going to try this mod, again. I'll report back if it works for me or not.
Ignore this post
Thanks for the work motcher just an fyi my 3g at work is real spotty and the alien port data was blazing even there maybe something to look into
I installed CM7 then edited the build.prop using root explorer. I dont see any change in 3g speed.

I don't see much of a difference. I got a high of about 140 KBps and an average of ~100 KBps without the modification. I am getting a high of about 160-180 KBps and an average of about 100 KBps with the mod. If I leave it to statistical error, there probably is no difference to me.
Meh!
Thinking about trying the mash-up mod on cm7 but can't really find anyone who said they use it on cm7 and like it. Wondering if its worth it and what improvement did u see? Thanx
I ran it for a few days then flashed the stock one back.
So no improvement? If that's the case Imma just stay stock cm7
Umm I actually flashed yesterday.. what's its supposed to do? I know I dnt have any wifi issues anymore.... not sure what to attribute it to tho

I can attest to the signal improvements..

It most certainly speeds up 3G and Wifi. Keeping wifi connected is something im not so sure about...Im running mash up, Moon's wifi fix AND Wifi fixer and mine takes 2-5 minutes to connect sometimes. Shut the screen off for 2 mins and BAM!! Signal lost...
BUT, when you do get a consistent connection with either medium your system with be noticeably faster than w/o it. Videos load much quicker and even the most animation heavy page will come up in seconds.
I've also noticed I have a bit more memory free now than I used to.
Thanks. I think Imma try it out.
One more question tho. How much info on the phone is gonna get erases by just clearing cache and dalvik?

Not a whole heck of a lot - I'm sure you wont even notice it if you don't look. Neither one will touch anything important.

I've been using all sorts of different combos of roms and finally went back to locked MOF rom based off 2.3.5. But with no 4g in my new residence I'd like to go back to ICS. With this being said, which of the newly updated ICS rom have the best stand alone (not being assisted by any apps) battery life?

CM9 by far, I always have the best luck with it. MIUIv4 isn't too bad either

It really will be determined by what you plan to use on your phone? Any of the roms can give great or terrible battery life. I build the MIUI for the mighty little Photon. I love it, and the battery life is good enough for my liking overall (avg around 10 hours on an Anker 1600mAh battery). If you want better battery life, use the following:
1) Keep screen timeout down to under 30 seconds. Havina this screen on fora minute is just dumb...LOL
2) Set your e-mail accounts up to poll every 15 or 30 minutes. Having them on PUSH will require them to run in the background all day, and will reduce your battery life...especially if it's an Exchange one.
3) Turn off GPS when not in use. This is a KILLER on ANY ICS rom. It'll suck your battery dead faster than any other thing on your phone
4) Turn off wifi if you're somewhere you won't be using it. Having it constantly searching for open access points will kill your battery
5) Use a darker theme
My best advice...try all of the roms....since a flash takes literally 2 minutes, you can try them all. Flash it, run it for a day, see if you like it, then if you don't go on to the next one

Isn't miui a white theme? Making for less battery life? I usually don't use wifi and leave gps on for work other than that my screen is set to 30 and 30 second timeout... I just need to know, I guess, which rom is the lightest?

There are a couple of themes that work that have a dark background.

Themes work and there are plenty of nice dark ones like the one I'm using now.

Awesome! I guess I'll just have to see which has the least apps installed as a base... Any idea on which one has the least amount of apps starting out? I know CM9 is pretty lite
The reason I'm asking all this is because my only source of downloading is my phone so I'm limited as I'm no longer in a 4g area. Thanks for all the help in advance!

I saw my best battery life in AOKPCB, but I couldn't keep away MIUI.
So far cm9 is pretty bad... Tried miui but the apps are kinda hard to get used too, I heard aokpcb is pink? What about aokp?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
AOKPCB is not pink at all. It's mostly ics blue. AOKP is similar to cm9.

I get pretty good battery life on cm9 with powersave/deadline, profiles, slight undervolting and slight underclocking.10 hour of pretty moderate to heavy use and im at 55%.

No disrespect intended, sir, but I hate this idea. One of the first thing I do is crank my screen timeout up as high as it will go (10 minutes, I think). Nothing worse than your screen dimming when you're trying to do something. If I'm using it, the dimmer can back the frak up. When I'm done, I'll hit the power button and let it go to sleep.
That said, if I'm in low light, I turn the brightness down as far as it will go. Makes it easier to read. My CM7 notification toggle for brightness has two settings: Dim and 100%. I use both regularly depending on where I am.
Also, I find that battery use fluctuates a lot. I've gotten 20 hours on my stock battery -- that was in CM9 or Paranoid Android, one of the two (the latter is CM9 based, but the CM9 and Paranoid Android bases are outdated). I've also gotten as little as 6. I've never heard of a universal benchmark to measure battery life definitively. It's gonna differ every day because your usage changes every day. It's gonna differ from person to person because your location in relation to cell towers is different from mine. At home, my phone works its ass off to stay connected. At work, not so much. My 20 hour run was at work.
None of the ROMs have patently abysmal battery life. One thing that will definitely help is the lack of background processes, so any de-Blur'd ROM (including all ICS ROMs) would have a leg up over stock for that reason alone. Blur has so much crap running in the background, it's disgusting.
Oh, and Amazon Appstore and its notification spam. I bet that sucks up a bit of battery. "Hey hey look at me, you have X updates" *open Appstore* "No apps to update, trollface.jpg". Seriously, the Update tab should display a trollface when there's nothing to update, because you probably went there because of that stupid notification. Maybe use Titanium to freeze Appstore if apps you got through it don't require it to verify your purchase, and follow the free app of the day via Twitter via SMS or something.

Generally speaking, if you're in the middle of something, you really don't need the screen on any longer that 30-60 seconds.

Hey, good question about which ICS Rom having the best battery life. I would definitely have to go with CM9 by Jokersax. The battery life may be bad for a few days, but according to the replies and posts on his website. Battery life will be more exceptional after 3 days of usage. I like my CM9 Rom and it has better battery life everyday. But it is all based on personal preference.
I'm using CM9 7.0.0
Just got it last night and personally the battery life kinda sucks. But I just set up my profiles and whatnot. I also notice the battery life getting better.
Then again it could completely be my fault for always using my phone.

Well I've tested cm 9 for almost 3 days and battery life only lasted for 10 hours on moderate use. I then chose to go with miui for 2 days battery life again was a little bit better only getting 12 hours with moderate use. Then I went to the aokp port bill released and so far I've gotten 16 hours with moderate to heavy use my battery is only at 20 percent and the rom is amazing! Thanks th3bill

I switched to aokpcb and its working nice. Although I'm still ALWAYS on my phone. It lasts about 8 hours.
My usage is. Text/YouTube/mine craft all day :3

Just an update: I've been running aokp for 2 weeks and got 20 hours average but have decided to switch to paranoid and so far have pretty much the same battery life and it just keeps getting better thanks for everything you all have done so far you have truly made this one of the best phones on the market
