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^^)
~ reserved for later ~
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.

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.

thnx all of you for all the sugestions ! will try them out !
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 ?

Mik+Franco combo is the best IMO. You can try Mik+fserve's kernel. But if you keep your GPS and Wifi ON all day, any ROM is not going to make your phone last too long.
i can suggest Mik 6.5.7+fserve's kernel too,results with those was best for me so far

Thanks for the reply BFS or CFS which version to use please help me choosing it.
I use only GPS no wifi.
Usually it is suggested , for simplicity, to go with BFS. I am on BFS myself. If you google it, you shall find that reports coming in on BFS Kernels *better responsiveness on simple small Linux devices* are good enough. Asgkarthik16 said it though, no kernel or ROM shall help your cause with that much usage, your best bet is to go with Mik_OS+franco BFS or try devoid.franco
Hi guys, im using the latest litening rom on my galaxy s2 - i didnt really use the stock rom, because ... you know ...
However, i installed it and i was suprising how fast the battery went gone!
Maybe i did something wrong... but i installed the rom over the stock rom as told on the litening thread! the kernel was installed with the rom!
since then ive tried many things and the speedmod kernel. ive also read some posts about the litening rom, about some users having really good battery life!
Am i doing something wrong? did i forget anything? does the kernel do a big diffrence? what baseband should i use?
I am using only Wlan and some games! Ive tried freezing apps flashing other kernels and some other things!
PLEASE HELP ME! i dont know what to do!
You've not given any useful information at all to locate sources of battery drain.

Ok i locatet a problem! a game called 'virtual playground took about 50% life! but i want to know what i can do in general to revent the draining!
i always keep wifi bluetooth and gps off. no backgroundapps and no widgets!
is there a good kernel to use with liteningrom that saves energy? i heard much about the speedmod and nympetamine - or what the hell its called - wich one is better? and does the bandbase effect the battery life in any way?

Stop using the phone if you want the battery to stop draining. If you have, and it still does (rapidly), look into BetterBatteryStats to find what's waking your phone.
Hi guys Again :cyclops:,
I'm just asking for good ROM with long battery life (Battery extender Kernel) , faster ROM , etc.
I've looked too long On YOUTube, GooGle , XDA-DEVELOPERS Forums , ...
But Finally I decided to make a New Thread for a LITTLE HELP:angel:
My requirements (approximately):
1st*Long Battery Life
2nd*Memory Booster
3rd*good Gaming-no lagging
4th*good Appearance
5th*not to be Like ICS
6th*No use of Launchers (Something really custom)
As I told you I don't want to be just like these parameters , that must be approximately :laugh:
Thanks for reading
Hmm. They're too many. I suggest you try them all and pick which would suit you. I would suggest Myth2, Xperiatized, Stocklite etc etc since you mentioned Battery Extender meaning it will be stock.
The best would be to get a ROM with long battery life and maybe combine it with super v6 charger for the sake of memory.
Gaming without lagg, not gonna comment on that.
And the last two requirments can be done seperately, "good appearance" is a subjective opinion.
I'm using apocalypse rom, but i cannot say that it gives the best performance of all of the recent roms out there since i havent tried the others.
Go to a bar and ask which drink is the best. You won't get your answer. Same applies to ROMs.
I'm closing this one.
Hello guys!
I am about dual-booting on my SII. I need your help because I need the best performanced rom for gaming, using at home and I need a rom, which is able to work at the end of the day too, so i need a good performanced and a good battery saver minimalistic rom. What do you offer for me? And what do you think is the best kernel for this work?
Billion thanks!!!

Can't ask which roms are the best....
But i would suggest any custom rom and flash dorimanx or siyah kernel (not every siyah kernel is going to work so read the thread carefully). Then install stweaks and in this app you can set the phone to high performance, so you can game.
I believe by doing so you will reduce the life time of this phone. Phones are not made to overclock.
I think you can use the same rom/kernel but set stweaks in battery saving mode for your working hours.
