Check with bbs what is causing your phone to not going into deep sleep.

So the main conclusion is people have all kind of experiences with different kinds of firmwares. Try them if you want to, and decide which one you like the most

i used wakelock detector...
i had two apps as culprit
one was chronus clock widget and the other being wechat
however dun know why only stock kernel was able to put the phone in deep sleep with wechat enabled and wid custom kernel no deep sleep occured.
so either i choose dorimanx (its definately superb) or my girl friend (who chats wid me on wechat) coz she has no whatsapp on her n73 now u know the situation

First of all: who's Simon?
It could be something to do with when you flashed miui. Have you tried flashing back to the original rom? Was 3G working before you rooted?
Was ment to say someone..
I'm gunna try stock once u get on a computer it says 3g nearly all the time but nothing loads and when it does its after a few mins

I don't know but I'd guess the latest one in the dev forum. To be honest I'd flash everything back to normal, if it's still going slow then it could be something up with your phone. Then you can get a replacement.

You should port it, i aint saying you shouldn't..the more the merrier...everyone has a different choice and taste and your ROM could appeal to many...

My old X10.

I have my old X10, now have an Ion, and I want to let my kids use it for games and such. Using WiFi only. What Rom would you guys suggest that I flash to? Right now I have just the stock 2.3.3 on it. Anything more fun?

I think go for cyanogen based roms like cm7 or cm9 which lets you use wifi even in airplane mode(so it saves battery by not using radio)
Also there is techdevils Gaming rom ( TUG) which works great on rom and is very light
you need unlocked bootloader for them
Thank

flash the latest Dorimanx v7.33 and see ma8, since it also supports CM10.1 for u
PS- u should expect bugs since CM10.1 is still in its beta stage
Flashed it and runs perfect!
Thank u very much!
Yes found some bugs, for example problems with the keyboard, but I'm looking forward these will be getting fixed soon

Go to settings-> Apps-> Go to the "All" tab-> Tick on Clock-> Clear Cache and Clear Data, then set up your alarms, can't tell what's your problem with WhatsApp, any pattern or things you do before the FC?

Tried it. My phone became hot, though. So, I reverted back to CM10.1's kernel.

Which ROM is the best for battery??

I have tried just about every rom there is at the minute but I cant seem to find one that doesn't sap my battery.
I don't even game or watch videos on it I literally just check the internet every now and then yet still I suffer 10% drops for Just using it for 5 or 10 mins at a time.
Could anyone advise me of a ROM without the whistles and bells but is all about battery power?
Thanks for any help,
Andy.

Settings then apps the go to all the scroll down till you see Google play services and click on it then disable it... Well basically you won't get any push notifications like twitter or snapchat but most apps won't need this but some do so it's not for all people but it saves a lot of ? ? ? ? ? ?

I tried CM11 Nightlies and NeatRom (based on SlimKat). Both are great at battery. Decided to stick with NeatRom because it seems more stable. I'm not using any custom kernel.
The thread states do not ask which rom or kernel is the best. This was a question about which rom has given people decent battery life, not which has the best features or tweaks etc which is obviously all subjective. So to recap, I am actually asking the opposite, not which rom is best, but which has lasting power. Features or no features.

Ps. Thanks for the help Guys, I am on neat rom and it's Brilliant Cheers
