Okay so I am now using cyanogenmod stable with the Decafuct Kernel and the decafuct battery mod. Also I am using autokiller and juice defender but I'm not seeing the results everyone is talking about..... am I doing something wrong or are there better mods I need to try?

You'll also need to adjust update frequency on various apps and turn your mobile data off on occation.
But does juice defender not toggle those options automatically?

Also I ran linpack and my mflops are still at 3.74, shouldn't they be alot more?

I've used the same minus autokiller and juice defender and have seen huge improvements. Have you wiped the battery? Look around for the how-to.
Also, if you run a lot of widgets you may not see the improvements.

I'm gonna delete juice defender and autokill and see it that helps, I don't run too many widgets, just fancy widget, Calender, and winamp.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well deleted the two apps and battery life was frigging horrible, dropped nearly 40% in just 2 hours without really even using the phone

Sounds like you have something constantly syncing or checking for updates. Check your accounts and sync menu and turn off those things you don't need constant updates on

You don't need a task killer.

Weird answer dude...
Advanced Task manager 4.1 can do this...also it has a widget to auto end applications and you can exclude apps from being killed
Nah, he's right. Its not Windows--you dont need to monitor the usage of resources by killing all running operations. By doing so, you end up just using more resources and wasting the battery just that much faster.
Thanks for the info guys.

Autokiller dose do a good job tweeking the task handling of android
Im new to using android so I'm not sure on the best apps and I need a battery apparently that atleast shows numbers.
Try looking for "battery snap" in the market...its free and comes with a widget, along with some really good graphs that show how your phone is handling your battery discharge

Screen off animation help and setcpu with cm7!
My tv screen off animation worked for probably 1 hour before I downloaded apps... idk why it's gone but I would love to get it back without widgetlocker.
Also I have read people getting 15 + hours of battery life using setcpu I just want to know what I should set it to and if I should use screen off addition. Thanks

I have min set to 264 for pandora to work and max at 748. You may need to play with max since every hero can run 691, but not all can go higher.
hmmm, i had same problem with the tv screen off animation. i don't use setcpu i am using kifno's tweak. he has two, one for more battery life and one for more performance. reason i mention it is that when i flashed his tweak, suddenly my screen animation came back and has stayed.
Yeah ill try his tweak. I'm gonna go with battery rather than performance. Will I lose all my apps? It says I have to wipe I'm pretty sure

No you will not loose any apps. Mp= More performance and Bl=more battery life. Don't flash both. Just read the thread carefully, choose one and flash from recovery.

I just flashes battery life. I'm going to wait til completely dead but I see absolutely nothing different so far... is it just like signal strength and little boosts like that? And battery of course. Should there be another application? Something in my settings? It just seems too easy

You should really take the time to read the whole thread or as much as you can to understand how you are modifying your phone setup. The risk/benefits will/should be posted by the OP. Also user experiences and feedback will be posted there as well.
With that being said.
The BL mod will take time to setup you will not see an immediate extension in battery life untill you have properly calibrated your battery. However you should experience a boost in 3g dl/ul
speeds. This will be minimal compared to the Mp mod but should be better than stock.
The Mp tweak results should take effect immediately hence the name of the mod.
Basically you can't have both. Its either one or the other. I run the Mp tweak and it might help with your animations. This is my understanding of the mod. To gain a better perspective hop over to the thread and read or Pm the dev. He's on break now but I think he's answering Pm's. He's quick to respond and is a cool dev.
Well Good luck. If you want to try a mod and have read upon it and need any help let me know if I can I will.

Alright thanks. I'll tell ya how my battery life is. Still looking to get that tv animation back so if you find out let me know

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.

Some people dont like charging their phone at night or are too lazy to do so.
To avoid further complications charge it!
and by the way.
I HAVE WIFI TURNED ON ALL THE TIME SINCE I DONT HAVE MOBILE INTERNET AND IM OCD TO 1.3GHZ AND IT LASTS ME ALL DAY SO DONT COMPLAIN.
wow. that's impressive. I might go back to CM7 later, there's a new kernel btw.

Both of these roms is amazing, if only they were less buggy I'd flash them but until then Im sticking with the 2.2.1.

Though it still applies here...and it's incorrect.
Killing applications, just like every other Android version, does not affect battery life.
Doesn't that only clear the apps from the recent app list? I know that not every app listed is currently running, because it lists apps that I have confirmed to be closed... (long-press back to kill FTW)

Well, anything is possible...
I thought that list was just a bunch of shortcuts to recent apps (not a cache of the actual app data), but if it is linked to the cache, then clearing it out would mean less cache data to juggle - I just didn't think that the difference would be that significant (maybe there is a bug in the memory management that causes innefficient processing... or, maybe the stock ICS ram requirement is compensated for by a lot more cache activity, which would also increase battery drain...)
But if it makes that much of a difference, then I'd like to learn more about how it actually works - if it is linked to the cache, then manual clearing might be the only reasonable method, but if it is just shortcuts, then disabling it shouldn't break anything else, and might save even more battery... this could be my ticket back to CM9 as a reasonable daily driver (without having to buy a new battery, lol)...
This has my thoughts going in several directions at once, so I'll leave this post on that incomplete thought before I end up writing a novel of half-baked ramblings
