I'm up and running with Attn1's Liberated Froyo. Took a bit because it was first time and didn't want to screw anything up. My only concern is the battery life. I used SetCPU to Overclock to 787 and it was draining the battery at a pretty good pace. Lowered it back down to 600, but still much less life than before. I don't keep the bluetooth, gps, or wifi open when I'm not using them. What's the issue?
Thanks...
Liberated Aria Froyo is a battery sucker from hell. You'll be lucky to get six hours of average use. Be careful though, because the devs will tell you it's a user error, when it's obvious that the ROM drains unreasonably.
I get a day and half using Liberated Aria Froyo & Overclock Widget. When the screen is off I set it to < 300 and 806 when playing games.
yeah, i remember liberated being a bit harder on the battery; by running cm6 or cm7 nightly, I get about 30 to 40 percent battery left after a 12 hour day with light to moderate use.
Damn. I did a battery test today and here is what I had my phone set to and the result:
-overclocked to 864 min and 864 Max
-brightness is all the way up
-data is on
-moderate to heavy use
-oh. And I'm running cm7 nightly 21
As of right now, I have 51 percent battery left. That's pretty insane.
I appreciated everyone's help!

Hello everyone.
The answer to my question can probably be found by scrolling trough hundreds of topics and posts, I guess this is a reasonable topic anyway since it’s a issue that will be the main reason for many users about when or if they can start using android on their hd2 as the main OS.
Thanks to everyone who contribute and good job!
I would very much like to start using android on daily base, but for me the battery has only lasted a couple of hours.
I’ve seen people claim to have up to 10 hours of battery with moderate calls and radio usage.
Please post your experience about power consume with your android build and radio rom.
I'm getting about 7 to 8 hours before it's dead. so wish i could get more
I went to sleep with 80% battery. 10hours later I awoke with 0%.
However, I did forget to turn off Background Data, so that could explain the huge drain.
Either use SET-CPU, or what I use, JuiceDefender, This app (combined with the UltimateJuice Add-on) Gives me 2.5 X longer batterylife... It has a widget which actually shows you how much longer your battery will lasts. It also has schedule Data activation or Disconnection. And much more options, i really love it!!!
It is basically the same as SetCPU only with far more options and not as complicated!
hope this helps
My device lasts for about 24 hours, with periods of 15-30min excessive use..
I'm getting surprisingly good battery on my HD2 running Froyo V1 by darkstone, my radio is: 2.12.50.02_2 and I'm running Energyrom
I get about 1 days worth of battery on average use (about 30-40 mins of calls, 2.5-3 hours of wifi, 1 hour of gaming)
Yesterday I had wifi on for 5.5 straight hours downloading games and then playing the, in these 5.5 hours my battery dropped 50%.
Today I'm trying an overclocking widget that I set to have the processor running at 200Mhz while screen is off, and running between 200Mhz and 1Ghz when screen is on, I'll see if that helps with the battery.

I'm just a lil' faster maseo! Knowledge is key!
I'm currently using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3 with the Kernel that came with it, and I'm not too impressed with the battery - seems to be draining a lot when on stand by. Just curious on the best battery-saving Kernel out there that is stable and is great with battery percentages.
Try some of wildmonks UV kernels.
I'm also wondering about this. Im currently on kmobs #48 kernel. I have set cpu with profiles set up to under clock when screen is off. Anything else I could try. And no I don't want juice defender.

x2 i've been running 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710.zip on the latest nightlys and battery life has been very good
Just flashed the 1190mhz WildMonk's Kernel and it seems to be a little laggy, can't comment on the battery usage though (I will tomorrow).
I've been reading and people are saying >1190mhz is very stable, but I've been seeing that people are clocking it much lower than 1190mhz (at 1133mhz). I don't care about the speed, I just want my phone to last longer, and to not crash.
Should I flash the 1133 instead of the 1190?
2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 is extremely stable on CM6 & offers much better battery life than stock kernel.
I use it with GPRS/Wifi on full time, moderate browsing (about 1 hr), 20-25 SMS's sent, 50 SMS's received & around 1 hr of talk time. Leaves me with more than 30% juice even after 24 hrs.
To do better on battery life, avoid using the live wallpapers & use a black/dark
static wallpaper.
Cheers !

CM6 Nightly from 9/7 DOUBLED my battery life and a few others in the thread. Haven't updated since. Last night I went to sleep at 3AM with 42% after first unplugging it @ 10:30AM

Battery life on latest CM Nightlies has been very impressive with the included kernel.
i saw him tweet this... whats CM nightlies?
Pershoot is number one, no question about it.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
I have brightness at 100% full-time (Love it!), I have live wall papers 100% (Love it!) of the time and have 3g always with 2 Gmail accounts push via K-9.
GPS off, BT off. WiFi off.
I have CM6.0 with this kernel (1 month old version). It is OC, UV + Extra RAM with no HD(?).
I doubled my battery life on CM6 and very easy get 1 day out of it, almost never below 30% - from 7am to 11pm. I'm at 49% (midnight) with my average use.
If I stream radio, I drain about 15% per hour on 3g. I drain about 5% to read top 20 news on Engadget app (twice a day)
This is my second kernel from this developer. I used one with 2.1 and now with 2.2. I know I'm coming again for the new one when I feel I need to.
I do not limit my usage, as I WANT to kill my battery, but can't succeed.

this is the one i have gave a try and I am very impressed.
Hey all right now I'm running geeknik's 1.2.3 UV kernel and I'm trying to maximize battery life. Heres what I've got going on:
I'm deodexed not running any ROM just removed all the bloat.
I've underclocked to 800mhz running conservative from SetCPU
I'm also running matted blue them.
Running D101 system.
My battery still seems to go down at a pretty fast pace even with all this. About 5% for every 30 min of light browsing, texting, and forum surfing. I've charged all the way to 100% and cleared the battery stats from CWM (I didn't see any confirmation, should I have??) So what should I do to get the best battery? TIA!!
I had that too. wipinh battery stats didnt do anything. Now I use the clean dj05 with stupidfast 1.5.4. Very good improvement imho
I'm getting the best battery life using JT's SuperClean and the stock kernel. Less than 1% per hour in standby, and the phone lasts 36+ hours with average use. I've tried other kernals (JT's non-voodoo and StupidFast), and neither provided any noticeable increase in performance while both reduced battery life considerably (no offense to the revs, just my experience).
Well after doing more test I'm sticking with the stock kernel. My battery is still draining about 10% for every hour.. not even doing anything. I appreciate the work of devs but when it doesn't work it doesn't work...
I would definitely follow ChrisDDD's advice. I put the exact same setup on my phone a week ago and its amazing. I took my phone off the charger at 3pm yesterday and its 1040pm over a day later with 65% left. Thats with heavy texting. Before i rooted and installed this rom and kernal i got a little under a day per charge. Just do the clean rom and the stable kernal (11/11).
Remember when you wipe battery stats, do it with a FULL charge, then let it run out to zero before you plug it back in. THEN check to see what kind of battery life you're getting.
I think I've finally gotten a good grip on this Nook stuff, a million thanks to everyone here.
My Nook is where I want it to be currently with the latest CM7 stable.
It seems like everyone is overclocking and now I'm curious.
Do you guys keep the overclock on the entire time you're using the nook? Or do you turn it on when you need the extra performance?
Does it shorten the battery life by much?
Is it harmful at all to the hardware?

Good questions. Overclocking is, on the surpface, something one would imagine harms our toys. Actually, most can handle well. It's all about the voltage and not so much anything else. Dal and others have worked out the tough stuff and provided us with some extremely useful kernals that noticably increase speeds (demonstrable with apps like Quadrant Standard or Smartbench) Apps run quicker and the overall experience is sweeter. Ondemand is the usual govenor I employ set on boot. (Running CM7.0.2 1.1 OC) Still getting a full day of use before recharging.
Usually it only kicks up to overclocked speeds when it needs it, cm7 can regulate it's clock speed pretty well depending on what setting you use.
technically overclocking will slightly shorten the life of the processor (uses more power, produces more heat). It doesn't really matter though as my battery will give out long before my processor, regardless of whether i overclock or not.
By that time i'll probably be thinking about buying the sweet new nook color 4 anyhow.
I have one of the handfull of Nook's that can run at 1.3 GHz, although I have it set to boot at 1.2 GHz to eliminate the occasional bootloop from trying to load up at max speed. Once booted I kick it back up to 1.3 GHz and leave it. My battery generally lasts 48 hours of light / moderate use with the display being the single biggest power hog.
48 hours of using seems impossible to me when I use my NOOK at work for FB and some little gaming (not 3D) and after 8 hours is at 50% of battery.
I use daily 300/1300 at On Demand and never had any problems with device.
Extra heat is harmful.So if the device isnt get so hot, then things are ok.

You're right 48 hours of use is impossible. To clarify.... I'm usually off the charger for about 48 hours... not 48 hours of use. I'm 20 hours off charger now, wifi running about 10 hours, screen on for 2 hours 24 minutes and battery at 53%.

When does the battery meter reset? Is it when you charge the battery back up to 100%?
I just got CM7 working and haven't had a chance to go through the entire battery yet but based on what I've seen so far I can maybe squeeze out 5-6 continuous hours of usage, does that sound reasonable?
Based on what I see it's significantly hungrier than the stock.

Depending always on what U do during usage (different to play games or just browsing the internet), U should really have the hours U propose.
Soon the problem with the sleep will be solved and the autonomy will be back to normal.
So I was running Bionix 1.3.1 and by the end of everyday, I have like ATLAEST 50% battery left.
And now that I've switched over to Trigger, it's only been 8 hrs and my batter is at like 59.
I mean it isn't that bad, but it doesn't compare at all to Bionix.
Yes, I've use the BatteryCalibration app on Trigger.
What modem are you using? Bionix 1.3.1 was KA7 I think while trigger is KB5. Those are fairly different modems with KB5 known for good data speed at the expense of battery life. Flash KA7 or whatever modem Bionix was using and see if it helps. Could also consider another kernel.
did you give it a couple of days?
The simple answer is that trigger is a amazingly awesome experience. You find yourself unable to put your phone down resulting in faster battery drain. I had the same problem.
Samsung Vibrant
Trigger 2.9.3
I can run the same bionix v 1.3.1 gaming all day and get 24hrs +. What modems/kernels are you using. And how can you know anything about a rom without giving it a week or so?
Sent from my badass t959 2543 quadrant, 20.193 linpack using bionix v 1.3.2 + bullet 1.42oc
Of all the roms I ever used Axura hands down was best battery life and best GPS
You must be lucky on Bionix I never god very good battery life out of it
Trigger Is pretty good I get 14 hrs with mod to heavy use and still above 50%
You may have you phone set up in a way that is causing some drain. Look at the Gallery, that often is a culprit.
If you do not like battery drain then I would advise you to stay away from 2.3 roms they use more battery for sure.....
Try the Bali 1.8.4 Kernel. It really helped my battery life. I use the KB1 Modem because that is what the developer of Bali was using. Not sure if I should be using KB5 or not, but it seems to work well with Trigger 3.2 Final. Smooth, fast with good battery life.
Edit: Thanks to the link on the OP, I'm going to try KB5 modem and see if there is a difference.

I was using this same Rom and Kernel and only got 1600 for a quadrant score and never got 24hrs of use out of it. It was more like 6 to 7 hours. Can you elaborate more on how you got such good battery life and scores? I had SetCpu running the OC and used TB to freeze unnecessary bloat, but still no love.

He was not gaming all day...guaranteed.
Display time is what it's about, which many people fail to mention.
The most display time you'll get on average is probably anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours max on a basic 1500 mah battery. He probably got 24 hours with 3 to 4 hours display use. I assume with 6 to 7 hours of battery life, 4-5 of those are display?
Im running trigger 3.02 or something like that with the overstick 154 and wifi calling installed and running from8 to 5 and I get 3.4 to 4 % battery drain per hour. I feel that is really good with wifi calling. If I freeze wifi calling I drop to 2-3% per hour hour. I have my setup phone setup to sync all the time and 1min display time out. I normally get about a full day(24 hours) with wifi calling calling 8 hours with 1 hour or so of calls on both wifi and network and 30-40 txt meshours and 1-2 hours of gaming. Oh and the display is set to minimum. I felt those are pretty good numbers. But my fiancees nexus one on 2.3.4 gets 4 hours of non stop gaming and still has 20% battery left.
