I was going to download owain94's v4 of FroYo last week but forgot, now I can't see it anywhere
does anyone have the file?
I don't want to move to Gigglebread as the camcorder doesn't work (the app suggested doesn't allow sending by MMS witht the resulting .mov files)
use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 you can use it without a full wipe of your device.
this is just a better froyo rom and more stable.
To answer the original question, owain has left the Mini Pro scene and deleted his ROM.
By the way, slade's ROM is the best (IMHO), NEVER rebooted for me, fast and smooth, all function is working. Ideal for everyday use.

I get ~3 days of 'idle' use from Slades CM6 roms.
Have you got location services turned off?

I had 5% - 10% battery drain per hour on all roms (SE 2.1 owains & slades CM6 / 7).... almost sold the phone for a desire z, then found that the location services were eating the battery. I don't use latitude, so wasn't an issue for me.
hi guys,
i'm having some problems with the battery life of my LG P500 (with CM7 + Kernel v18.1).
i installed this custom rom because some people told me that it has the best perfomance. But what I see now is a bad battery drain...
what I have to do? Change the CM? The Kernel? Or what?
unfortunately, i accidentally deleted the backup file...
thanks!
After you install a custom rom you need to first wipe your battery stats from your recovery then you can also use battery calibration app also you need to give your phone some time to get used to the performance for the battery life to be accurate you can see this warning in a few roms and in francos kernel thread the performance is better and the battery life is better to issue also suggest turning off your 3g when not using it if you have a 2.3 rom then you can go to cyanogen mod settings if it has it and add it to your notification buttons my battery on medium to heavy use will last 24-36 hours where with stock rom maybe 10

thanks, man! =D
well, i don't use 3G... i keep this turned off. ;D
so, this is the only thing that i can do? Wipe battery stats?
i did this right now... let see...
There's not much you can do that has actual effect on the battery life. Keep wifi & 3G off when u don't use them is usually the first advice. Unfortunately overclocking means that your battery will drain out very fast. Mine's on charge via USB-cable most of the day, and using wifi or playing games for 40 mins means at least -20% battery power.
i know about wifi and 3g... ;D
and what about custom roms and kernel? my cobination could be a problem? =\

CM7 (6.5.5) comes with franco's kernel, and as far as I know, that's the best one at the moment, so I don't think that is the problem either. it's just how this ROM is ... you're not the only one with the same problem lol
how many things are you running in the background?
I've had issues with a couple programs eating cpu in the background.
oh and brightness makes a large difference.
if you have missed message flasher running by either flashing the screen or vibration's that will also drain the battery fast.

this is something that i'm really looking... the apps that are running in the background... and something that i think very strange is the maps app... it is running though i didn't open it... o.o
the same thing happens to the equalizer...
they run without i know... so, i go there and cancel them. =s
flashing the screen or vibrations i have disabled. ;D
thanks!
if maps is running that is what is killing your battery .
if you want maps
get titanium backup and backup (or if you have paid freeze) the app and restore/unfreeze when you want to use it.
Yes Maps can drain the battery a lot lol
ps. you can see what is using your battery if you goto
settings ----> about ---> battery use
Lucky you can turn off 3g I'm on a provider that won't work unless I have it enabled -_- lol
My main reason for flashing a custom ROM is the ability to change permissions for each app that has been merged into CM and is part of mik's port. That combined with droidwall is a very important tool to battle the privacy violations with so many apps. That means that I didn't overclock, but I still saw an incredible battery drain on 6.5.5 + 18.1. Plus I was getting a weird log error with droidwall. I appreciate all the efforts on behalf of the developers, and I really hope to get a stable rom that would let me modify permissions of all apps with good battery life. Everything else is secondary.

Google maps will not drain battery until u have data enabled,same applies for other processes running in background.
And overclocking also doesnt drain battery faster as said on franko tweaks page.
(Correct me if i am wrong)

False, read this about overclocking and battery, analyze the chart
And with google maps plus other similar apps running in the background, it will try to connect and find a connection therefore draining battery.
processes that only run in mine are:
google services (1process, google messaging service)
android keyboard ( dont tell me u dont know that )
pretty much those are necessary for your phone to be functional.

I got OC info from this page.
And abt maps,i have stated that it will not consume battery when data is NOT enabled.
Anyways thanks for those charts.
But as per my personal experience,OC doesnt drain battery faster
Use v18 CFS, not v18.1 .. i had the later and the battery drain was huge. Switch to 18, charge to 100%, wipe battery stats, use until completely discharged then charge again and see if that helps. OFC not even v18 can compete with the stock (or even mik's kernel) in terms of battery life, but if you want performance...
For me the best option was mik CM 6.5.5 and fk v17 cfs!! Definitely feels stable all the time!!
thank you, guys!
well... i really made a little mistake... the battery life improves with the fkv18 cfs. isn't a awful improvement, but is something.... =D
should i change to v17? =s
how i can see, CM 6.5.5 is the best option...
thanks!

Hm, i thought devs like andy and a couple other devs mentioned it before that g-maps & other similar apps will consume a %tage of batt. It's similar to bgsyncs. You can see for urself and log then block it with droidwall.
let's say:
you got every connection off (wifi, 3g off, only 2g for messages/sms otherwise none) > g-maps running > it will TRY to FIND a connection at a specific interval e.g. ~20min. > therefore consuming resources. I dunno about the latest versions of google trashes though (maps got offline support)
About oc'ing, yeah 122-480ish consumes the same BUT not if your phone is demanding more cpu to complete tasks, i.e @ 122 clocked it completes the tasks at a longer time than 320 wc is fast, just balance it if you are gaming or just using it for web browsing/sms/calls/music/minimal gaming like me( ~2.5 days atm im on 320/729 v18 bfs smartass & it's good enough).IIRC franco told this on his earlier pages on the kernel topic

Correct me if I'm wrong but for a 2.3.4 rom shouldn't you be using the BFS version of Franco Kernel? I believe that CFS is for Froyo roms (at least that's what Franco himself told me on a post a few weeks ago)

well mik has lot to give in case od performance,tweaks and stuff and 1 day battery life after heavy use while default 2.2.2 has gt nothing amazing to do so try mik 1nce u wnt regret
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

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.

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!
hi,
thought on moving to GB from froyo.
so i went and installed every non CM7 ROM in the 2.3.4 forum list.
all of them had problems on my phone with one shared problem that all had, bad battery life.
i did all the calibration needed but it didn't change anything.
i'm talking about a phone with no services except gmail and exchange.
battery on 2.2.1 used to hold for me for around 25-34 hours of usual usage(with still around 20% left).
on GB ROMs it was around 8-10% per hour.
does anyone have a clue where to begin ?
while looking in the battery stats and in system panel software i've noticed that the android system process is the top cpu/battery consumer.
i've also noticed that the phone is slow on most of the ROMs i've installed.
thanks for the help.
Battery on any of the Gingerbread roms that we have available is not going to be as good. Just the way it is. If you are using CM7 try the Glitch kernel. It provides a bit of improvement over the stock CM7 kernel for me.
I have the same problems with my vibrant, the I9K roms seem slow and kill the battery fast. I was only trying them because all the Vibrant Froyo based roms (ie: Stock or Bionix 1.3.1, etc...) have bugs that seem to only be repairable by rebooting the phone (ie: stops ringing when people call... gets the call fine, but doesn't ring. Also, stops being able to play some music formats, only starts to play them again after rebooting, etc...) I can't wait to replace this phone, total PoS IMO, My G2 works far better (Vibrant is actually my wife's phone) and is far easier to try out different roms.

thanks for the quick reply.
i would have understand if was 20% worst, but no holding for 12 hours and then die.
by they way, are they suppose to be slow/laggy also ?
there are also many new services/system services, my phone has around 40-60 MB less than in froyo.
i didn't try CM7 because as i understand the GPS is not working in them.
Ummm no. Try trigger redux. Yes the battery ain't froyo but GPS locks on 7 sats and Birg put a ton of work making it snappier than any froyo out. Trust me, the speed is insane. Anything cm7 based is worthy of being your daily driver. It makes my phone awesome yet again.

Hi!
I heard a lot of SGS2 users talking about these 2 custom ROMs like Lite'ning and Villain ROMs. Right now I'm using the Lite'ning ROM and I'm pretty happy with it, but I feel taht I need a change you know. So I was thinking to chnage my current rom to Villain ROM, but I don't know if it worth it? I need help to decide myself.
I would like to know which have the best battery life as I usea lot WIFI, internet and games. I focus most on the battery usage and a bit of style system improvements.
So, help me do decide, Lite'ning ROM or Villain ROM?
I don't even think it's worth rooting this phone right now. It's up to date, it's fast, all as stock...

With Lite'ning I really improved the battery usage.
VillianROM works for me . Very friendly thread as well .
Plus it doesn't take long to back up things and switch back if its not for you .

I want to know more about the battery usage? How much it lasts?
I actually feel that samsung made this phone pretty beastly as is and did a good job on the fw, so i prefer just stock KG6; I do from time to time flash CM7 to see how its running along with its changes. I say either CM7 or Stock samsung is amazing for this phone.

I'd like to see some screenshots of your Battery Usage.
You sure you are actually using the phone
One week!? I was excited when mine lasted for two days! Put up a picture of this!
And how do I print screen it?
Home + power buttons
you guys dont seriously believe anyone is getting a weeks battery do you? lol
I tried CM7 and VillainROM 2.3/2.4.2 and stock of course. CM7 and Villain are far better, faster and the battery lasts longer
Don't think there will be much difference in battery life with the use of either one of these ROM themself.
They do use different kernels but you can flash them separately and then use setCPU and underclock / undervoltage and try to improve the battery life slightly that way ....
Also some opengl games (myth defence) don't work well with my old stock rom (KE7). Now with CM7 everything is fine and smooth
NeoPhyTe.x360
Tried both, used Villain Rom for a while. now love NeoPhyTe.x360
