Anyone running stock ec05 with the geno kernel? Decided to do this a few days ago. Despite the rfs, overclocked at 1.4 stable is giving me the best experience I've had yet. Also ran titanium backup and froze every piece of crap I found. My battery is amazing. Just yesterday I went 26 hours. For stock that's pwnage. Everything is extremely stable. Xda is the number one force closing app for me and it hasn't happened once. Everything is speedy and snappy even with rfs. And I dunno if its me but custom epic roms seem to screw up gpu drivers somewhere. Dungeon defenders is running better than it ever has at a smooth 40 plus fps. Scoring a 1300 in quadrant, 2700 in antutu. Here's my smartbench 2010 for kicks ) cheers lentlemen.
also found this weird battery snapshot I took of ef02 or something last week.

Roms aren't the answer for everyone. I kicked around going stock myself but the grip of the rom is too strong. I have been running the Urban Fury series' from CompKid and SRF 1.x.x. Haven't ran 1.2 yet and I doubt I will. Just doesn't have anything over 1.1 that I would want.
1.4 OC is very nice.
I have a similar experience with the GPU. Even though custom roms would give me better bench scores and overall snappiness, I'd get noticable lag and choppiness in some games. I've been back to stock for a while now and it pretty much runs every app smoothly. The Gingerbread leak was silky smooth and snappy, but after a while random reboots made me go back to Froyo. Between the game lag and clicks/pops I'd get in music playback with voodoo, stock has been the best for me even though there are several things I liked about a couple of the customs. I may have to give genocide another go around by itself rather than paired with a rom to see how it goes.
Ever since I nailed down what was draining my phone over wifi, I get excellent battery on stock. Went 30+ hours the other day with about an hour or so of display time on, and still had 25% left before I plugged it in. Most of the battery issues with this phone (from my experience anyway) is simply the phone not going into deep sleep properly, whether it's an app or in my case, something on wifi network. I have things like LP Facebook widget and weather syncs set to 3 hours.

What was draining your mini nuke over wifi?? Also app freezing is the ****. All drm and **** that drains my battery while in sleep mode is gone. Going to power cycle the battery and then give it a test run with the [email protected] 1.3 and 1.4 are awesome but require overvolting. Trying to go for amazing battery life here. Also running the phone @600MHz Compared to 1GHz you barely notice a difference.

Hey guys,
I wanted to share this with the forum. I have tried every ROM on this site. in fact, I am self diagnosed with EFS (Excessive Flashing Syndrome). In my travels I landed on Froyo because I really like AOSP and cm6 is cool.
However issues with the nightlies forced me to try a 2.1 sense ROM again for some much missed stability. So I went back to my "old reliable" which is Aloysius 2.1. Since I have gotten used to no sense I just downloaded Launcher Pro from the market, pushed the aosp email client, dialer, and news widgets to the ROM and loaded the HTC Anykernel stock setting kernel and poof. I am running smooth as ever, fast as ever, and no issues with MMS, trying to find a signal fix, or VVM problems, etc etc etc. It just works. No worrying with google apps or flashing a million kernels, battery tweaks or anything.
Here is the best part. I ramped it up to 729mhz with set cpu and enabled JIT (yes, it's in there) and got 5.2 MFLOPS and 450 quadrant scores. It runs really fast. I scale it back to 710 for everyday use and as of now I am at 8 hours 30 minutes use and still have 77% battery left. That is moderate use including 10 phone calls, countless emails, about 20 text messages, and I have been connected to wi-fi for over half of those 8 hours! I dare say it is the best running, most stable ROM for the Hero.
Please no flaming, I still love CM6 and am not saying it is bad or anything. Just that if you want a ROM with lots of color, unmatched stability, ridiculous battery life, and all the speed you need, you may want to check it out.
Thanks to Konikub for making it!
Sounds nice man, mind sending me a zip? My average run time is 9hours till dead battery.

Is this rom being supported anymore?
Mac
I'm getting equal if not better performance with NFX-Rom. I used to have Aloysius' rom.. it gave me many issues... I'm also running JIT without any issues as well.
To each his own... that's the great thing about Android - it's truly customizable to meet your needs.
do we not get pinch zooming with 2.2 and do we also lose the ability to type in a name into the dialer?
are the apps to fix these missing features.
how about calendar searching, without these items 2.2 might prove to be worthless to me. glad everyone else likes it.
Thanks
Just FYI, I switched back to the 2.2 RC1. I am actually getting the same battery life this time round. The deciding factor was the fact that the developer of aloysius has moved on to Evo and isn't supporting that ROM anymore. My attempts to reach him were unsuccessful so I'll stick with this great ROM on AOSP. I'm such an idiot.

idle time... i was doing approx 40 hours under light/moderate use and about 20 on heavy usage
So, OCLF breaks the vibration on JI6 and while Ryan figures out the problem (I already gave him a logcat) I decided to remove it.
My verdict so far without running any lagfix whatsoever, stock JI6 and the stock kernel is that the phone is tons smoother than what it has ever been. If I didn't know better I could swear that a lagfix was installed solely based on my prior experiences before and after installing one.
Whatever Samsung did in JI6 really helped out. Now, if you run a quadrant you will still get scores within the 900s but that doesn't seem to have any bearing on how fast the phone runs.
I remember when running stock JFD that my phone would constantly freeze while even trying to wake it. Really embarrassing when trying to show off to your friends
Anyhow, so far I'm really satisfied with just the stock rom, although I do have root. My only problem so far is the battery. I believe there is something wrong with the modem that it drains the battery way too fast. As a test, I have been streaming Pandora via Wi-Fi for 2 hours. The battery has only gone down 10%. While using 3G, that battery would have been decimated.
So, does anyone want to take a wild guess at what Samsung did to make JI6 faster? The UI doesn't seem to have been changed and it is still RFS.

Uh....decimated? As in reduced by 10%?
Sorry couldn't resist. No idea what's different.
I was saying, that if I were using 3G the battery would have dropped well below 10%. The other day I was using 3G just to browse the web and the battery literally dropped to about 74% in 30 mins. That was when I was using Bionx 1.5 or 1.6.
I have to admit, I have selfish reasons for posting this poll. I never know what is the most stable/feature rich ROM available without reading through countless posts on several forums so I thought it would be good to have a central place for people to get an idea on what everyone else is currently using.
Right now I'm using Epic Experience with Phoenix kernel and my screen goes black with no way to bring it back without a battery pull. So I need to know what ROM to try next. My goals are simple:
Fast, stable, and most importantly... good battery life.
I just finally convinced my wife to let me root her epic in order to fix battery life and its not working very well.
I am using Baked Snack v1.3 and was on the Boss Rom before with Mixup Kernel. On BakedSnackShack.com you can download it for free. Herver was kicked off for asking for donations ($5min) before the public release, but let me tell you I have not run into 1 problem in ANY program in the last month...I don't plan on ever going to another developer because of his great success and features. He should be allowed back on but every time he does more drama happens. A rom is different for everyone and thats why there are so many developers to suite your needs. Good luck and if nothing else just try it out....I assure you will be impressed!
you need to realize what works for one person will not work for another. different combanations work and suite others needs then their own. i suggest trying everything out and find what works the best for you
I have to say, I agree with mysteryemotionz. What one person may prefer may be what another dislikes. What one person may notice as being a problem, another may overlook. For instance, on the EVO forums a lot of people like cyanogenmod. I personally do not due to the lack of certain functions like 4G and other things (havent look at their forum in awhile so IDk if its still not working now).
Im currently using Epic Experience and mixup kernel. I loved AOSP Magic, but Epic Experience seems to have better support. I prefer the look of AOSP magic tho. I havent tried any other kernel since Im currently satisfied with how I have mixup running.
Yup...baked snack is the best so far I'd say. I've tried em all. Still haven't gotten the battery life that I've read about in some posts. But the battery life is by far better than stock. I'm using epic experience 1.2.0.4 with the latest mixup kernel also tried the latest phoenix kernel with no significant difference. So I just keep trying new things till something better comes along.

At first you say that you're using Baked Snack v1.3 but then later on you mention Herver and in the same sentence say "...I have not run in to 1 problem in ANY program in the last month".
So which is it? What ROM are you using that isn't giving you any grief right now?
Baked Snack v1.3 or Herver?
Also, while I'm on the subject, how do I add more options to the poll?
I think Herver is the developer of bakedsnack

I don't think there's a "best" ROM / kernel combo for everyone.
It seems that each individual's phones and experiences can and are different.
For example, I was running stock rooted ROM with every version of MixUp since it's inception. On the most recent MixUp I started having battery life issues with no other changes so I decided to try a few things. First thing I did was change to the Epic Experience ROM which did improve my battery life a bit with the latest MixUp back to where it had been with the stock ROM and the previous MixUp. After reading a lot that the Phoenix kernel worked really good with Epic Experience I changed to the most recent version of it. Battery life went off the charts in the good direction with no other change. Phoenix is suppose to run at interactive governor by default but I was getting some weird behavior from it, so I swapped it to conservative and it's working perfect for me. When using any of the kernels I always kept my minimum set to 200Mhz to avoid any sleep/lockup/wakeup issues.
I don't think Phoenix is a better kernel than MixUp, nor do I think MixUp is, just for right now, Phoenix is working better for MY phone. I'll probably continue to bounce back and forth between these two as newer versions of each are released.
The below screen shot was after some light usage, a few phone calls, little bit of texting, maybe about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time on Wi-fi, maybe 30min to 1hr of games, maybe an hour of web surfing.
Baked Snack 1.3 with Phoenix 1.49.
I got about 13.5 hours of battery yesterday.
I used the baked snack kernel for a few days with noobl's andromeda (de odex) rom.. With many apps I didn't need, removed. I had many lockups (especially while charging) where a battery pull was the only way to get out. The only consistent crash I could find was if I was plugged into ac, with screen off, and received a notification, e.g. gmail message.. Which meant for me, no wake up alarm in the morning. I liked the speed, but the instability, on my setup at least, had me switch back to mixed up kernel. I still don't have the best battery life, but I'm getting to the bottom of that in the mixed up thread. Fwiw.
Sent with my 4G interwebs.
by far my favorite and my current set up: apophis 1.1 (rom) and baked snack 1.3 (kernel), overclocked to 1.3 ghz.
i get linpak scores of 10.5 + consistantly and quadrant scores of 1010 + consistantly. this is the fastest combination ive ever used. when i first unplug it, the battery usually drops down to 95% in a couple minutes but steadies out after that. by the end of the day, once i get home from school, i usally have at least 20% left. and that's with 4g always on and moderate to heavy usage. once plugged in, it charges at a steady and fast rate.
i have my phone stripped down to bare minimum and only a few apps that i need. ive had zero black screens and few to none force closes upon rebooting but none to freak out about or anything that proves a problem.
props to the developers. thank you for providing the community with your hard work.

Sent through the Matrix.
wtf OP? did you have to make a poll?
I had the same problems as the poster, but i think it was setcpu, i kept messing with the settings. I ended up leaving it on conservative, and it has not turned off on me since.
Im running phonix kernal / epic experience
I get like 20 maybe more hours of usage, fast charges, and only drains very little battery overnight..
i like this setup
I personally use Epic Experience 1.2.0.4 and Phoenix 1.49. I switched the governor to conservative because I had issues with the default interactive and have had zero issues since I switched. I got amazing battery life just 1ghz but I underclocked to 800mhz to improve my battery life even more without compromising on performance. If I'm doing something processor intensive I do bring it back up to 1ghz or even to 1.2ghz haha. But this combo works for me and I got approximately 35hrs with what I would call light usage. With moderate to heavy usage I average about 18hrs.
It definitely seems that Epic Experience / Phoenix is the most popular combo, at least with those voting.
Glad to see others have reported similar experiences to mine with this combo as well.
Could just be mental, but I also seemed to notice that the phone charges a lot quicker than before with this Rom/Kernel as well as not getting as hot while charging. Not sure how/if it could effect this, but it sure "seems" that way.

Maybe that was my problem. I'm now running Baked Snack 1.3 and the kernel says Here_Over. The volume won't work and there are other issues. My wife is gunna kill me if I don't get her a working phone soon. She's going to ask me to take her back to stock. (Ugh)
When following the instructions for flashing Epic Experience I never saw anything about setcpu or a governor. I just left everything at defaults.
So, I don't post too often, but I lurk a lot and like to think I'm pretty experienced with different ROMs. I've used Midnight, ACE, Bonsai, Frankenstein, and a few others. All of them pretty great in their own way. The devs involved are dedicated and brilliant and when you think of the base they were working from, they did nothing short of dark magic. I can't wait to see what they do with this amazing release.
Today, I'm officially back to (rooted) stock. Here's why:
The things I look for in a ROM are battery life, speed, and stability. I think that's a pretty standard list for your average XDA member. EF02 meets and exceeds every item on that list.
First for foremost is battery life. I see that some users are reporting atrocious battery life and some (like me) amazingly (ridiculously good!) battery life. I've been using the phone almost non-stop for 5.5 hours now and I'm still at 58%. That's with some netflix, Rdio streaming, calls, tons of txts, Doggcatcher through the main speaker at full volume, and endless configuration, installs, and tweaking. I'm coming from Bonsai which has some pretty amazing battery life, but it's (seemingly) geared more towards "standby" battery endurance and always drained quickly when I was using my phone a lot. I thought this might be a fluke, but I've rebooted twice now and battery stayed within 2%. All I did was plug in over night and ran battery calibration (the market app) this morning.
Other than that, everything just WORKS. GPS locks stupid fast (after clearing a-data state). 3g/4g. Almost no FCs. Wi-Fi doesn't disconnect. No volume stuttering. No bluetooth weirdness. Nada. It just WORKS!
I was playing asphault, Backbreaker football, and recording HD video today, everything was snappy and flawless. When you consider it's RFS, stock speeds, with bloat and no governor or scheduler tweaks I really am in awe of what the Epic has under the hood and how solid SamSprint have made this.
There's been a lot of contention about how to apply this. There's a flashable rooted/deoxed version out now, but just by nature of that install procedure, I think you're best to use Odin to flash the EF02 tar and then the CWM tar and then flash the su in recovery. Those are the steps I did and I'm running rock solid.
My setup:
EF02 Odin'd
Launcher Pro w/ twitter and gmail widgets (although TW was feeling great when I was tweaking the phone)
Rdio widget
Data and background sync enabled
Screen timeout 30 seconds
Wi-Fi on most the time
SwiftKey (although the new Swype is pretty great)
PS I flashed the zip version last night and had endless issues. Battery heat, no GPS, no audio, wonky data, and eventually a boot loop of death. Odin the way I described above got rid of all the issues.
Ya. Samsung... Thnx u skanky sweaty hog! U pissed with off with the delay on froyo. But u made it up with ginger. I was already convinced froyo would be the end. So thxs u hor.

I have to agree. I followed the OP steps myself as soon as it launched. I am debating on flashing the kernel out but will wait till something else is out. I prefer more app space so staying on odex for now. I have been removing bloat apps that I dont want slowly to ensure nothing is acting funny. I didn't have to clear agps o nothing for my gps to work properly with that set up. I am running ef10 modem.
Hi everyone
this is my first android phone and I'm facing quite an unfamiliar problem because I don't see a lot of people posting about it but the ones that do wonder what's the cause of it
First I started with Rocket Rom and abyss kernel, I noticed that my phone gets really laggy after 5 minutes playing games and keeps lagging when exiting them, antutu graphics benchmarks are always capped to 30fps if I run a complete test, so I changed to CF-root and my problem was gone, but still I wanted a tweaked custom kernel so I tried FM and after a while a got the same problem again, so I figured out it was a temperature problem and went back to CF-root.
Yesterday after almost one hour playing it happened on CF-root too, so I get really pissed off because I have a device that I SHOULD be able to game on, and I can't do it for a reasonable period of time due to heating, on abyss kernel in less than 5 minutes I would experience that in a game (that's why I could never run an antutu full test, the first cpu tests heated it up too much already), FM was better but still, I guess I played 30 minutes before it slowed down, and with CF-root I was already upset because it is not nearly as fast the abyss and FM but it was ok... for just 1 hour!
so presuming this is a general problem, what do you guys do when that happens, or what would you advice me to do? underclock to 1ghz?
Also, I don't think everyone's device heats up as quick as mine, so should I classify my note as defective?

That's happened to me on two phones htc incredible and wildfire s, try going back to stock with the stock kernel if that helps. If it doesn't then you may have a defective model.

Have you tried rebooting a couple times after getting everything setup? My Note seems to be doing a similar thing, last night after flashing Rocket Rom with abyss kernel for the first time just using market, browsing, etc while setting everything back up my phone was getting really warm and even just browsing the app drawer was slowing way down. I've since rebooted a bunch of times and it seems to be better, but it's still getting warm
I'm just learning about tegrak stuff right now, his app has a lock gpu 267 option, dual core always active, I think I'm going to downclock to 1.2 and try those options.
Also I will reboot a couple of times, I don't know if the correct way is to just reboot twice or everytime after flashing reboot twice wiping caches and stuff (full wipe? twice?)
