Hey guys,
I've lost track on all the roms out there. So I hope you guys could help me finding a fast and battery optimized rom.
I'm currently using Darky's ROM, which is kind of nice,
but uses to much battery for me (only have 1.5 days).
I don't care about any special feature... just speed, market showing all apps and long battery life. Anything else is a nice to have...
thanks for your help
Hi,
Ive tried them all, but get best battery on darkyy 5.5, with voodoo advanced 1.1 oc 1200 kernel.
Dont know why but it is awesome!

how often do you need to refresh your battery?
And what is special about this kernel?

lol! How can you get the best battery when you overclock!?
I'm now running JPY stock and I think you get the best battery life by using the stock kernel (no overclock, no other filesystem like ext4). It's plenty fast as well...

Theres a good post from curio on why this works, will try and dig it out. Essentially, less processor time is used for the same number of commands. (Oc doesnt mean your devices constantly runs at 1200 mhz tho)

With faux's smartass/minmax, etc kernel I will need go run set cpu correct? Im on my rooted stock sensd that ivd removed some of the bloat from.

to overclock, yes you would need to use setCPU. However, I am unsure whether the smartass governor would take effect whether or not you had setCPU to OC with.
Thanks! I'm new to this but figured it would make no sense to install the kernel with no way to actually OC. I like alot of the roms out but I'm happier with the stock setup the way I've modded it. Removed the bloat I know I'll never use, changed the boot ani, battery icon on status bar....etc. Short press google/long press Genius (the way it should be!)
This phone is amazing once rooted!

It sure is also, while setCPU is a paid app, its increased my speed and battery life several hours beyond that of the normal speeds with no profiles set for screen off or battery level. Well worth the buck, in my opinion.
btw, dont forget the thanks button
Hmmm all I get is boot screen locks or loops. With and with out cache/dalvik wipes. Is it a requirement to have set cpu installed prior to flashing this kernel?

I dunno if this'll help at all, but I'm on pretty much the exact same setup (rooted, stock, removed bloatware, changed battery in status bar, changed genius button to google search, etc.) and faux123's kernel loaded right up for me, I followed his instructions and came from grankin's kernel.
I have SetCPU but I only use it to OC it a bit, I have max to 1209, no profiles. I'm not sure how much it changes and helps, some days it's really good but today it's been unplugged for 3 hours and it's at 80% with a few texts, about 20 min of internet and 20 min on XDA app.

Okay so I have been seeing many threads and questions about MIUI or CM7 and which one is better?!
Or go to:
https://www.youtube.com/macaronyalan
Here I have two videos to CM7 or MIUI and maybe this will enlighten you to choose wisely.
another CM7 tease. I've been holding off on flashing this.

try them both, their both wonderful. i stuck with MIUI for over a month.
I tried both of them and I think they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Right now I went back to 2.2 because NOVA dont work on 2.3. If any of you can play NOVA on cm7 or miui please let me know. MIUI has the lockscreen and pop up messages. As Cm7 has optimization tweaks and Stock aosp feel. I really want to go back but still trying to decide if I should wait.

Hey Alan, I noticed on your CM7 review the voodoo control app has Voodoo Color options. Do you know if this only appears in gingerbread builds maybe?
I have tried to find color options in the Voodoo Control app in 2.2 roms, but all there is, is Voodoo Sound options.
Thanks!
i got bricked, hay what a sad day.
i like MIUI.. i've never tried CM7 and dont know if i will.
i had miui for almost a week until earlier this morning when was playing music using the music widget, it would skip songs or not even finish a whole song then on to the next song.. weird, i didnt like that, it's probably because i was browsing through pictures at the same time on miui gallery ( buggy,makes my phone FC, sluggish) that made the songs skip?. so i went back to 2.2
i like the rom. it's very nice! very customizable and easy on the eyes.. ill get back to it when it becomes stable even if gps is still broken...
Damn! How many apps do you have on your phone Alanrocks? That's nuts! I just counted mine, I have 16 downloaded. But I dont play games on my phone and Im OCD about having too much stuff and any bloat so I keep my apps to a minimum.

The New App Not Only Supports Voltage Control But Allows To Undervolt to -500mv. Now I'm Sure It Won't Handle It. But Its There. I However Prefer SetCpu Over VC Because of the Ui. As Well As Profiles.

Works well and if you have voltage control as well works fine i had my voltages undervolted and installed SetCpu already detected them and was at that voltage as well as governor and scheduler.
Pretty kewl i havent tried anything below -200mv because the frequencies require a certain amount of voltge to power up and work.
But does have the option to. heres a few pics

Well It's not the app that manages your cpu. All they do is modify your internal setting's. (same as the RAM tweaks.)
So theoretically it should work. (unless it's not Epic supported) If i'm wrong, some correction would be nice.

Same here. Tried it like 2 days ago when it got released and FC when hitting the voltage tab. Never have gotten it to work.
It did say it wont work with EVERY ROM, so that may be the issue. Not sure.

Yes you can use Tegrak Overclock (Ultimate) from the market, works on stock kernels
But be very carefull with your voltages, you are warned!
Do you maybe have good settings for the program?
is it possible to underclock to?
Can i leave the voltage standart and only set the cpu to 1.5 or 1.6

You might want to look in the kernel threads (FM kernel, Abyss, etc) in development, there is enough info concerning your question, and yes you can underclock with tegrak.
With tegrak you can use any cpu speed you want, is not fixed to a few settings.

One useful thing to do is underclock and undervolt. This phone works perfectl in 1.0ghz with -50 voltage on all clocks and a maximum of 500mnz with screen off, and itll save u a lot of battery.
