I recently updated to ICS on my Live with Walkman. I also rooted it and installed CWM. But lately i have been noticing the battery drains faster, than it did with gingerbread. Anyone else is having this problem? I'm using Apex Launcher too. But I try using stock and its the same problem.

Taskkillers make the drain worse.
And yes, drain is a bit higher because ICS is a lot heavier so it needs more juice to work.
dont know if compared to gb because i've only use stock gb for a hour or so but compared to other ics rom like miui, minicm and cm9, stock ics combined with kamarush kernel gave me awesome battery life. 0.5-1% drain per hour on idle.

This is somehting I have experienced personally, but I haven't found out why it happens yet. It's a little OT, but could you explain in brief why killing an app often reduces available RAM?

the app has to start all the stuff it does all over again because it was unexpectedly closed. the unused app is closing itself anyway just when it isn't needed anymore and when it fully performed the task.

If you close an specific app, then some amount of RAM is freed. Temporarily. Certain apps start again, because they are needed by the system. The startup of the app requires more power than closing, finally you are losing more power.
Doesn't matter what electronic device you have, starting it up uses most energy. Your computer, phone, lamps, microwave - everything!

can you tell me wich rom is better? i have never installed one, but im thinking about it, can you please tell me more about this stuff? i mean if you can tell me or give the link to know how to install kamarush kernel and another rom, like CM9 (with ICS?
no battery drain for me
and im using it like this
1-1,5hour listening to music
30min 3g
1-1,5hour wi-fi
1hour playing game
holding for 12 hours and still on 30% battery
mine was good
i use 2x batt n android booster from market
I use my lww ics the same way like on gb. On gb I was on stock rom with rage kernel 2.8. Now I am on ics with extended stock rom kernel from expeacer.
Through my feelings I would say battery live is the same as on gb. For exactly clearing it out we must compare with the help of a monitoring software.
So my conclusion is no change in battery life between ics and gb.

Updated yesterday and I've noticed my battery is draining faster after a day of normal use. But i think that is mainly to the fact that i haven't figured out how to root ICS and still have all that bloatware running around sucking my battery!

360 Launcher? I used GO Launcher when I was on GB, but I found a better launcher for ICS. It's Apex Launcher, you can search for it on Google Play Store, I really recommend this launcher, its great!

I've tried a lot of GB and JB ROMs presented here on XDA. Very early on I decided to skip ICS, and so I cannot comment on ICS ROMs.
All of the JB ROMs I've tried (I have tried most but not every single one available here though) have given me problems one way or the other after heavy use. The common problems I've encountered are apps freezing, phone hanging and freezing and random reboots. My greatest fear is the phone closing down on me when I need it most. A reboot will solve all problems but don't think this is ideal. I'm trying out 1 last JB ROM (16 hours till now) and so far it has not displayed the problems I mentioned.
I really like the looks and functionalities of JB but I think I will have to return to GB if I want a 100% stable phone. Would like to hear comments and advice from those who have experimented with both GB and JB on their single-core phones. Thank you.
Jelly bean runs 100% smooth on my Galaxy S. No bugs what so ever. We even have 4.2.2 jelly bean now.

He wants to know about Neo V not galaxy S
Anyways @OP I'd not suggest any Rom in particular as you've tried many
But GB ROMS are supposed to be smoother atleast on our device and you may very well know the reason why it is so....
According to me, frankly such threads have no point as people state their opinions and support or favour a particular Rom and often some people go against this and results in an ugly quarrel! So next time,just avoid it and take these tips or advices on a casual note!

I guess I want to know what most ppl are using on their single-core cpu phones. So I welcome any and all comments. I've not had much luck with JB ROMs but it seems most developers here have moved on to ICS/JB. There aren't very many current GB ROMs available apart from Codename (as far as I know). Even Codename may end at X (current version) according to Emann. I'm still trying out one last JB ROM and if that doesn't work out I guess I'll be going back to GB.
AW: GB or JB For Neo V?
I have a Neo and using FXP 207 jelly bean with fusion kernel v4.5 (480p version)
And everytgink working fine ive flashed all sony media apps walkman with equalizer
Downloaded the xperia Z theme
Ive deleted unnecessary apps from system and ive flashed the gapps in light version (only 30 mb not 88mb)
So i can say i have alot of ram free (about 150mb)
It runs very smooth and i can play games lag free for example temple run 2 and asphalt 7
And battery life is also good ( for me 11 hours medium usage )
Cpu settings are
134 - 1113

Agree. I am using latest thedarkdefender cm10 build with fusion 4.5 kernel and the phone runs very smooth. cm10 is my daily driver for about a month now and I never had any big problems.

I had been trying out my last JB ROM for 2 days and I was really liking it. I did a lot of travelling yesterday and all the time I was playing Subway Surfers. The game ran smooth the whole time and I thought the ROM was to be a keeper. When I got home last night the battery only had 30% remaining. So I charged it while I had a bath. After a couple hours it was fully charged. So I removed the charging cable and thought I'd resume Subway Surfers. For some reason the game was very laggy. Rebooted the phone and the game was still very laggy. I always seem to have problems with JB ROMs after a few days of use. I know a lot of people have gone weeks on JB ROMs and their phone are still smooth and fast. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyway I have now gone back to GB.
Hard luck mate,my 4th day on the Aosp Rom polish blood by Mike
And still things are fluid!
No lags encountered so far! Best I've used so far I can say
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda premium
I also think that Mike's Polish Blood is the best JB ROM at the moment. Unfortunately, my Neo V doesn't seem to like JB of any flavor.
Am also on AOSP JB polish blood, its my 5th day & its still running super smooth, no lag at all.. Best JB ROM available for Xperia neo V..

For the last 10 days i have been using KangXperiaProject with my Neo V
With Fusion 4.3 kernel.
Whoever uses their latest build (milestone-r2) will not regret it.
Excellent battery (i once got 6hrs of screen time!)
Excellent performance (no need to overclock)
No, and i mean NO lags.
No bugs.
Plenty of free ram, I have always ~120mb free, and i have viber, swiftkey, weather widgets, nova launcher etc...
All that is lacking is HDMI and 720p recording, for which i dont care!!

I've gone back to my "big" wife - Codename. It does exactly what I want it to do. And no surprises.
But thanks to your post I've been reading up on the KangXperiaProject thread. It does look like a great ROM and I'm beginning to get the itch to try it. For the time being, however, I need some stability.
Iam currently using custom rom.
Iam using Gorgoid-1.8...and before it (Anonorom 24..last one)
And my phone goes really hot
Without even overclocking or undervolting or anything...
Please tell me is it a kernel proplem ?(Boffela-2.9)
And what is the Differnce between
Jelly.bean and ice cream sandwich
I found 4.1.1 got no proplems
Just want to know if 4.1.1. Is better so i can change to if the thermal proplem remains...
And thank you all

Hello,
did you try a Fullwipe with Philz Touch Recovery? Just to make sure your device itself is not faulty, did you also experience this problem with a 100% Stock ROM ? I´ve never experienced any heat problems with Boeffla or Yank kernel ( only when using the Siyah kernel a long time ago ).
I can suggest you to try a fullwipe and install the ROM again. Just in case you have installed some malicous Apps, you can also try to track them down with BBS ?

As others already suggested, install a CPU monitoring App that will show what App uses your CPU the most. A lot of heat is always a indication that something is using a lot of your CPU Power. I had a problem like that also and I could easily fix it by looking at what uses my CPU.
