I'm thinking of flashing Simple Honey on Vibrant i haven't done any flash on my own currently I'm on Trigger 3.2 Final but i feel there is too much of battery drain i tried battery calibration even that didn't worked, i see the RAM usage of Simple honey is 340MB and i see the RAM in vibrant around 320MB i know the rest of memory is used by system but does it means Simple Honey is very heavy on battery ?
Also i feel that most of the manuals are not well done i was looking for Simple Honey and it never says clearly that i need to be on CM7 before flashing it or my understanding is not correct
None of the ported gb roms get as good battery life as the froyo roms built from our vibrant source code. If you want better battery life I would try a different kernel with your current rom. I would recommend Bali or DMZ kernels. And no you should not be on cm7 to flash Simply Honey. It is recommended to flash the gingerbread bootloaders first though.

Thanks , so whats the best combo Simple Honey + which kernel ?
Well if you're going to go with Simply Honey it already comes with a kernel with tweaks especially for that rom. But if you want better battery, SH is not the way to go. You're better off sticking with Trigger or another froyo rom with one of the kernels I mentioned above, Bali or DMZ. In my signature are links to the rom and kernel I use, ZenDroid and DMZ kernel. I get phenomenal battery life using that combination.

I'm on trigger 3.2 as well and it's now become pretty glitchy. Looking for a better ROM. I've love to try your combination. Pm me the links please. I rarely, if ever, use my computer for xda so any links are not showing up in your signature.

I just updatd from sh 3.9 to 5.1. There are 2 kernels used bullet 1.2 1.42 and 1.54. The numbers represent oc speeds and 1.54 doesn't work on all phones. The other is talon sh kernel. It's optimized for sh GPS doesn't work (does in bullet). Also talon lets you change bootanimations bullet does not. Instructions are clear in the op. If you are coming from a previous sh ROM use the Odin to stock method. Personally I would flash talon after the step that puts sh 3.8 on your phone. There seem to be issues flashing 5.1 which comes with talon over bullet on your phone. 3.9 bullet, flashed talon,flashed 5.1 all went well. Also you might want to clear caches in cwm (dalvik and any others) before 5.1 flash. Sometimes there are "ghost" which makes the modem flash bad and you can't make or receive calls. All answers are in the thread. Hope this helps. By the way I love this ROM!

I am going to have to respectively disagree with you. We are finally at a place with the latest version of simply honey that we can safely say we are on par if not better than froyo when it comes to battery. I just post a pic today showing over 31 hours with 10% left. Other users in my thread have posted 12 hours with 70% left which is on par to hit 30 hours. I rarely saw 30 hours on froyo. My personal use was admittedly light, a few calls and textx, xda app, Facebook app, a couple times in browser. Moderate shouldn't see less than 18 to 24 hours.

Can you clarify how Simply Honey works on Vibrant since it require 340MB and phone memory is around 320Mb does it means it uses full memory ? The biggest problem which i'm facing is seems like my phone constantly searches for wifi signal even though i have disabled do not search for open wifi networks.

Hello.
I have compiled a few kernels for use with any of the sense based roms out right now. There are 3 choices available, feedback is appreciated. Initial reports from users I have sent these to say they improved their battery life, I have been using #1 for 6 days and confirm better life, though ymmv as usual. Support for NFS and all related config options has been removed, tun support is included. For best results use ondemand governor (default).

Thanks for these! (you helped me out the other day on #thunderbolt channel @ andirc.net).
I personally am ready to sacrifice some performance (quadrant) to get longer battery life so I can keep my 4G on longer!
EDIT: After running this kernel overnight and for the past 12 hours, it is amazing on battery life. My battery was around 70% when I flashed the kernel, now 12 hours later and some usage (gmail non-stop, k9 mail polling every 15 minutes), 20+ apps running in background and up front, webcam widget running and updating every 15 minutes, 4G left on, battery is just now at 40%. Phone is still snappy and feels good. Thanks! I look forward to seeing how long I can go on a fully charged battery.
Gonna try these out

These are amazing. They are obviously not for the uber performance crowd who want their 2.0ghz kernel, however, they have greatly improved my battery life.
That said, i can keep 4g on all day and make it 20+ hours with moderate/heavy use.
Just so everyone knows...this guy is legit and will help you out whenever you need it. I've been running his 1st kernel for awhile now on the nonsense rom tesla coil. Because apparently the kernel (drods) that comes with that one makes your device reboot spontaneously at stock cpu speeds.

flash #1 earlier today and so far it seems very promising as the most battery efficient kernel yet.
I wanted to post how awesome this kernel has been after a few days now...
Today, after 8 hours of battery use with some internet use, 3G (LTE OFF), and music listening (FM and Local music files)...I still have 30% battery life left!
I used the battery calibration app just to make life easier too!

4g speed
I know "people" claim that their kernel does not effect 4g performance but after 5 consecutive tests on the 'other' one and 5 consecutive tests on the 1228 kernel here, I saw almost 2Mbps faster on this one. Whether it impacts it or not, my eyes do not deceive me. Thanks U.
Just downloaded the first one, running the latest virus rom, will check back in a few to report, thanks for these!
5 slot FL worked for me. Keeping with my 4g belief, the first thing I did was run a speed test. Got 9.93 Mbps. I don't care what others say about their kernels buy I witness theirs to be much slower 4g. The big test will be battery life. I will give feedback tomorrow. Btw I am in Detroit and test went to Chicago.

I alway found CM6 and Miui 2.2 roms to give great battery. Not sure if you were looking to stay with gingerbread though...
Cm7 just isn't as good as cm6 that's all I will say. My battery life on cm7 was not so great. I switched to miui for the first time yesterday and my 10hrs turned into 15hrs already with 50% left. Usually in about 10hrs my cm7 is on about 10% left. I actually have a pic to prove it lol.

With CM7, I usually get 12 hours to 50%, 18-20 hrs to 20%. If your battery life is that bad, I would try calibrating that battery and checking for wakelocks.
Also, try decks gingerbread which is based on CM7, but gets better battery life. You can find it under the thread "yet another AOSP ginger ROM."

I'm all about Tiamat
Destroyer v 2 with savage zen kernal and I can make it two full days with mild-moderate use. Heavy use will still make it all day. By far this is the best battery life I've gotten.
When I switched to Tiamat I started getting great battery life on CM7. I can get 18+ hours on it, easy.
can you still use CM7 themes with decks?
I get 15 hours with cm7 SZ kernel with moderate use
When I check the batt stats in settings, "phone standby " always has over 50% someone knows why?
This has been looking good and it was just updated this morning with no issues..

Buy 5 batteries then you will never be out of power.
CM7 (every nightly) and latest Tiamat. I leave BT and WIFI on always, without *trying* to preserve battery, and I easily last from 7AM to 7PM with no charging... running pandora for at least an hour in the morning off WIFI, and some in-car BT Pandora streaming... no 4G use, and tons and tons of texts and internet browsing. Same use on other kernels would have killed my phone in 4 hours easily. I used to be able to watch the battery indicator drop. Sense ROMS were pretty bad too.
Whats wakelocks?
Deck's + Tiamat = win
http://imgur.com/LE54H.png
I suggest finding a kernal for your rom. Tiamat is a great choice.
Also, are you coming from sense? If so, resetting your battery stats might help.
I've had great luck with Vaelpak 3.2 rc1 and rc2, both with there stock kernel and 4.3.2 CFS SBC HAVS MORE. I mainly use my phone for texting and Facebook. On a typical day of moderate texting, Facebook and a few hours of calls I'm getting roughly 16 hours. If I use juicedefender and setcpu I can stretch it out even more. Vaelpak 3.2 is a non-sense rom and is very stable. Out of 4 or 5 roms that I have used this is the most complete and full Rom were everything works. Been using vaelpak for over a month now and haven't found anything better...
Evo 4g
Vaelpak 3.2 RC2
This has been my biggest struggle so far as well. Finding a rom that is both useful and does not kill my battery...I just rooted last weekend and so far have tried at least 5 roms looking for the one that I really get along with and like the looks of, etc. All I cal say so far about roms and such is trial and error...keep flashing till you find one that fits.

I thought that I would give MIUI a go since I have read great things about it. I have been using CM for a very long time now, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away.
Overall I am pretty impressed with a few caveats. The interface is very nice and I especially like how the notifications drop out of the bar up top, like when you get a text message. I don't need to use handcent anymore to say the least. The built in theme manager is cool and overall the think the menus are easier to use then most roms.
Anyways, the main issue is speed and battery. I read great things about speed but I just don't see it. The homescreen lags, apps are slow to open, and things always seem to lock up on me. I didn't restore from titanium backup, I started fresh. I'm running Savaged Zen 2.2 as my kernel, but the speed seems sluggish no matter the kernel.
The battery life isn't as great as it was on CM7 either. I can barely.make it through a day on MIUI.
Any tips for improving performance before I leap back to CM?
I would stay with Miui for a couple of days and I guarantee you that the battery life will get better, also I would try using tiamat, or godmode kernel they are great.

Try using setcpu with the tiamat 4.0.5 kernel. Maybe your cpu is constantly pegged at its highest frequency so its killing the battery. With set CPU installed I had my Max at 1113 and min at 384 running smartass; I easily got 24 hours with moderate usage. Also download spareparts from the market and make sure your end button has the phone set to sleep.
Here's the free setcpu for xda users.

I've used many kernals (mostly CM and MIUI) as they tend to have the least amount of clutter.
I've been very happy with MIUI (been on it for over 5 months) when I used to flash a new rom almost daily.
I've found MIUI (more than any other rom) has "finiky" issues with installs.
If you've not done it, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe using Caulkin Format All and Format Temp, fresh install of miui (reboot 3 times after you install it, helps get rid of some fo the chinese crap), flash a kernal of your choice (i've been rocking tiamit 4.0.5 sbc) and then configure your phone and set it all up.
I love the fact that you can have folders on your home screen (that show the icons of the content) however, it doesnt hide your status bar (I think it's stupid to have the clock show twice).
I use launcher pro and folder organizer ( available on market) and love it.
I have a very minimalistic layout with everything grouped neatly.
if you've not used MIUI, try it! Stiff is amazing!

Everything seems to work just fine for me with the latest update. I haven't tried Navigation, but my GPS locks almost instantly, so I suppose it would work just fine. It seems like GPS is the biggest problem.
I still have the bug where the automatic brightness doesn't work correctly. I have just set the brightness somewhere and forgot about it. It seems to work correctly for others though. Guess it might have something to do with the kernel though.

Another easy way is to use Kernel Manager from the Market. He has all the most popular kernels listed there. It is a breeze.
try tiamat kernel 3.3.7 which seems to work the best for most people or try the latest one which is 4.0.5. I'm using the latest one with vipermod which is a tool to lower voltages and it's great.
Alright guys, ive been hearing different things.. people are getting an upwards of 9 hours of battery from like using texting and that sort of stuff.. stock kernel and rom will give you 5 or 6.. Ive heard some people get 18 hours of use from texting and what not..

I never believe anyone's claim for 2 days of battery life on a battery of any smartphone.
The most I ever got was at least 8 hours under moderate use with about 40% to spare at the end of the day.
This was achieved using a combination of a froyo rom (myn's twopointtwo) with nets 4.3.4 havs-cfs-more-sbc kernel under-clocked with set cpu and juice defender toggling my mobile data on/off whenever it was needed.
Highest I've personally seen is 18 hours of high use

Not sure if you were asking me or teh, he would be the guy to explain undervolting. I don't use any apps or scripts to uv. Just the setup I posted. Proper battery calibration will probably do the most for improving battery life though.
Btw, I just realized those screenies were not from the Xplod rom. I believe they were from the TN stock, and I would of been running the Chopsuey kernel. Same CPU/governor settings tho.

The uptime will reset if I reboot, turnoff, run out of battery or if the phone reboots or crashes.

Kernel is your choice, 1000+ hours was done with this one:
Kernel: Lucid 1.4B (If you want latest Mods, 3.0 should be stable too)

GT-9020T (my only personal phone)

Real life battery drain (Still 15%+ left)
Usage so far March 5 (it is missing 3.X days in graph)

Damn nice.
Oxygen is really the best custom ROM ever for "stockish" users.
Can't wait for the 3.0 (ICS version) of Oxygen.
2 weeks ago AdamG teased us by posting a picture on his twitter
can you post the kernel Lucid 1.4B
Which 1.4B are you using? There are several in his archive.

Does that kernel have voodoo sound and BLN?
it does have BLN and Voodo.
It doesn't have some of the new light mods.
It keeps it simple, BLN app to control led notifications, Voodoo app to control sound and color profiles.
As I've said earlier, this ROM is really suitable for stockish users who enjoy minimalistic ROM with less MODs. But truly it is very stable than any other ROM IMO.
Guys, You won't believe what happened..
I ran out of battery yesterday!!!! ****megafacepalm***
I was far far away from my desk and the battery was red and crossed... I think that means <2%, I excused my self from where I was and almost ran back to my desk. I turned on the screen to see if it was alive and try turn off wifi(mistake, I used more battery by doing this). but the phone signal was gone and the phone was shutting itself!!!!!
So I lost 20 days of my test... I'm starting again, but the 1000 hours screenshot will come here by Spring maybe.
Anyway, during the 20 days, the phone didn't slowed down, battery life was great 2 days always (90% draining to 15%).
Oxygen is the best rom for the nexus s. I loved it, I am can't wait for the ICS version.

I think I could have easily gotten 1,000 hours with bugless beast... But I can't go that long without re flashing

Yeah GPA is also very stable, however I must say, I like Oxygen more bc it has Widgets in the notification bar by default (GPA17? didn't have it stock).
BTW I added new screenshots to the first post showing the Quadrant score, tested not OC'd, and some unique settings for Oxygen...
Latest battery life test Added to 1st post.
Last time that I ran out of battery, I took some time to remove some system apps.
I'm still testing but on average it saved me around 40mb+ of RAM.. somehow...
Will post it later after more test.
BTW I just crossed the 100 hours mark..again...
Good night.
HA ha, I've just come by this thread and I'm loving it, I used to LOVE Oxygen back in my Desire days, it was epic. First it was the best 2.2 AOSP build and then he gave his AOSP Gingerbread right out of the gate.
Oxygen ICS should be pretty damn nice as well.
I must ask though, why haven't you moved to ICS yet? Is it the battery life thing or? Just curious, my missus has just gotten ICS on her Desire, thanks to my mingling and she quite likes it
Yeah Oxygen wass the hands down best rom from gb era. For ics, Bugless Beast seems to be the best option for people that wants oxygen-like experience.

Not bad! I wonder what is your use of the phone...
I have been using AOKP Milestone 3 and Matr1x 16.0 CFS. Rock stable so far. My usages are phone calls, twitter, facebook, g+, messaging, snapping pics, apps installation, gaming, and the list goes on...

I may have to try this as my next attempt at running ICS. I am running Oxygen 2.3 right now and it is stable, quick, and power sipping but I miss ICS. What kind of battery life are you getting?

How stable is it (uptimes?) and what is the battery life like? Battery life on Cyanogen 9 and stock made me switch to Oxygen.
