[Q] Best ROM for battery life? - GT540 Optimus General

My GT540 is currently on:
Code:
Version 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected]
Mod version: OpenSwift/CyanogenMod-6.1.1
for cca 2 years but this version has some problems with the camera.
I lack the time to test all the ROMs so I need some advice.
Which ROM would you recommend if battery life is important?
I only use the phone to write SMS messages, listen to music and from time to time, I browse the Internet and use Google maps. I also need a properly working camera. With the 2.2.1 version, the application for the camera often crashes and even restarts the phone completely when I try to take a picture.
I am thinking about to switch back to the original 2.1. Stock ROM but I thought maybe, there are some tweaked ROMs which maybe improve battery life by removing unnecessary stuff from the OS (but only those which don't break the camera software...).
Thanks in advance for your advice!

if you are ONLY for battery life, 2.1 is the best for you..
there are some good roms but its difficult to find downloads
1. greendroid (latest version is 2.1 if i remember correctly) but i can only find an older version (v1.8)
2. and my favorite: eleganceswift 5.0 download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368013
3. if you want better performance and faster system you may want to try miroslav_mm's AOSP 2.3.7 (v2.1)

Isn't eleganceswift the HTC Sense lookalike rom? I loved that rom back in the day! I'd prefer miro's 2.3.7 if I was still using this phone though. Good performance considering it's specs and up to date compared to 2.1
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I installed Eleganceswift 5.0 and the camera works flawlessly but strange things are happening:
1. The battery meter is not working properly, every now and then the battery meter turns red and I get a message that the battery level is below 14%, a few minutes later, the battery is "green" again. Before installing the ROM I discharged my phone and then charged it for 3 hours so the ROM was installed on a 100% fully charged battery. I haven't charged my phone with the new ROM yet (since it hasn't discharged yet, the status says that it is turned on for about 50 hours). When I discharge my phone, would a battery calibration app help me or should I try something else?
2. The power control...
On Quarxs ROM I could add a 10 item power control widget on my screen which includes Wireless, Bluetooth, ... , Airplane Mode shortcuts (i.e. "buttons") while this ROM permits only a 5 item widget (Wireless, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronize, Brightness). I badly want a "switch on/off Airplane mode" shortcut and a "turn on/off Mobile Network" shortcut on my home screen. How can I accomplish this?
3. The "Manage applications" section:
Either I don't get it or it just doesn't work properly. On Quarxs ROM this section included 4 tabs, clicking on the first tab, you get a list of all apps which are installed, the second tab gives you a list of all apps currently running and you can clear the cache used by specific apps and force stop running apps. On Eleganceswift, when I open the "Manage applications" section, I get a list of all the apps I installed (the apps which are preinstalled are not listed in this section). Clicking on a specific app, for example Opera Mini, I get some information and 4 buttons: Uninstall, Clear cache, Clear defaults, Force stop. Uninstall and Force stop are always clickable (the Uninstall button works properly) but clicking on Force stop doesn't do anything (it's even clickable when the app is not running, clicking on it yields a "click animation" but the button remains unchanged so I can click it again (it's not grayed out after I click) and it just doesn't do anything (I think)). The "Clear cache" and "Clear defaults" buttons are always grayed out i.e. "unclickable". When I go to About phone --> Battery use section, the list is always the same:
Code:
Adobe Reader
Android System
Cell standby
Phone idle
even though I started a bunch of apps (Opera Mini, MyPhoneExplorer, Shazam, Music app) and I always clicked the Home button after starting an app and not the back button to make sure that the app is not stopped.
Any advice is appreciated! :crying:

malez 0.6 already released, works with froyo
great progress alan090!
No problems installing this ROM after I figured out that I needed the newest Malez. I'm also enjoying the 2.2 experience!
However, I've noticed that my battery seems to be draining faster than usual. Battery usage as reported by android is showing that the "Android System" is eating up >70% of my battery. This is happening without installing any apps.
Any ideas?

Yes, I had this as well on my stock 2.1 Rogers ROM but then I got rid of the Acer Settings and other Acer applications and Android System no longer took up a ton a the battery. Not sure, now I am on this and it happens.

no im saying its likely a misrepresented charge - that happens alot after flashing a rom
after using it for more than a week and now im back to my 2.1 rom i can say 2.2 has better battery life for sure
I have been using this ROM for over a week now. I love it! Struggling a bit with BetterCut at the moment. It won't change icons on the home screen because technically, they aren't on the home screen (Acer's new UI). I'm staying with the new UI for now (getting used to it). Haven't had any real troubles or issues with this ROM, using it for everyday. The new lock screens are nice to be able to customize. No battery issues, only had to reboot once but could not determine why yet? System totally locked up with dark screen (would not wake up).
Thanks again
Thanks again for another nice rom! I definitely am liking some of the new improvements with Froyo. Having flash in the browser is handy too. Battery life is better than with the 2.1 roms, though both are ok. Couple of questions:
- Do you think in a future release it might be possible to re-add the volume-control hack to move the cursor? On the liquid it's almost a necessity.
- Are there overclocked kernels we can use with this? I find it laggier than 2.1
- Is there anyway to move the notification bar back to the top/get the old bar back? I particularly hate having to click and hold on it to see if I have SMS, email, etc.
- The SMS app is quite laggy. Has anyone else noticed this? I've been avoiding deleting all my SMSs to see if this speeds it up.
- The notification bar always shows a little SMS icon with three dots on it, even if I don't have a new sms message. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this but it means no visual indication of new messages.
- Occasionally, the phone doesn't shut-down properly, but reboots instead, especially if the power is plugged in.
Just a little note for people, after installing this, I was unable to make a nandroid backup. After clearing the cache in the recovery console, it worked fine.
Otherwise, it's really nice, thanks! I definitely appreciate the theme as well.
I use eclair still froyo isnt ready for me yet
Using this on my gf liquid and I can tell you its way better then stock 2.1. She was complaining so much about the phone, I got her to shut up a lil with this ROM lol. Looking forward to more updates.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Nevermind this post
Deleting all of my SMSs fixed the sms slowness, and the weird notification icon stuff. I miss Eclair sometimes but mostly because of the volume button hack and the robot that eats donuts when you boot
I definitely prefer the Froyo rom for calls! Regardless of the proximity sensor, I still hung up on people with my cheek a lot with eclair and sometimes I couldn't get the screen to turn back on. Not an issue at all in Froyo.
Is there also a 0.007.00 CUS2 bin available somewhere? Now i don't seem to able getting this ROM to work with malez recovery nore can i install that specific BIN version.
Anyone?
[update]
So i also found out that i can forget the CUS2 bin story. That's only when using official acer updates. With the ACER Download Tool [Single] i've now managed to install the leaked alpha version of froyo!
Has anyone had this issue? Occasionally - like once a day, it just reboots, but not the regular reboot, a fairly fast reboot. I haven't been able to catch what is going on, but every once in a while, I look at the phone and see the boot splash screen.

No to be honest, I have been using this ROM almost exclusively since it was published in September. I have an original Acer S100 (white one) with the smaller RAM. This ROM has been a rock solid performer for me. I like it better than the other leaks, at least for what I do with it.

[Dec 10][SD]JIGNERSMIUI 12.03 Stock theme (rootfs)+ Hastarin Kernel 8.5.1

BUILD UPDATE base on 12.03 MIUI release
Change log: [10Dec] 12.03 release
- Theme works
- Stock icons
- Much faster than 11.23 release
- improved MIUI music player
- revamped and improved keyboard
- Bluetooth works out of the box, (just sent a photo file to my daughters Nokia phone)
- GPS works out of the box too!!! just tested them this morning
DOWNLOAD JIGNERSMIUI 12.03
Sharing to you the build I found to be very stable after having used it for nearly
two weeks of continuous use. Originally built by domineus of MIUI Developers
forum, updated kernel to Hastarin 8.5.1 old cam.
two weeks of pure bliss, really, thats all i can say. I leave this if you are a fan of
MIUI, then this is definitely worth a test
Advantages:
- No screen freeze at all (just leave Auto Rotate Screen in setting, default is on)
- No SOD (can you believe it, never had any) (See Recommended steps)
- No Robo voice
- No screen wakeup delay
- Wifi works
- Market apps installs without any hassles
- 3G indicates HSPA if you are in its coverage
- Almost no data drops (tip: when turning "Data" on, give it 3-5minutes to stablish a good connection then start updating FB, browse, etc)
- Working Notification lights
- Loud sounds, but not too loud
- Working ringtones, (I prefer Zedge, free membership in market)
- Fast (very fast) graphics courtesy of Hastarin tip: install spareparts in Android Market and set all animations to fast (in my test it hardly affected battery usage)
- Camera and Camcorder
- Facebook Contacts Sync (yes you read it right) for birthdays, I recommend "Birthday Assistant"
- MIUI music interface is one if not the best our there.
- loads of stuff as short cut in the pull down task bar like data, wifi, sound 14 in total including reboot function.
- Battery is excellent, better than the Stock Winmo i was on
How to achieve the best battery life in this build: (5-7mAmp on standby)
- turn "Data" on ONLY when you need to update facebook, browse the web using 3G
or use chat clients like eBuddy etc.
- consequently turn on WIFI only when in range and when you need to connect to it
- only ever use live wallpapers, when you are showing off to your friends
Recommended steps in testing this build:
- charge battery at least >70%
- HSPL 2.08 (Video Guide Link)
- Task 29 - use .nbh file of Radio 2.15 to run it (this will then be your Radio)(YouTube link)
- Flash Oct 13▐ VBNROM *Reloaded 2*▐ 21913/24634▐ WWE 3.14 Core▐ Best Battery <8mA in Standby
- Full format SDCard using SD Formatter 2.0
- Unzip the file using 7zip found here
- at first place ONLY the folder "JIGNERSMIUI" in your SDCard
- Manually run CLRCAD then haret.exe (I prefer this method as it is plain and simple)(you must activate haret.exe while bottom keypads are a light).
- sync with google and facebook
- reboot back to VBN Winmo
- connect to pc (still in winmo) then transfer all your pictures, music, videos via usb
- Turn screen off, disconnect from pc
- run CLRCAD and haret.exe again
- Note: at first run of Gallery, it will be slow as it takes time to index the photo/video
files, just be patient and give it the time it needs (5-10min) depends on how
many photo files you have. After that it will be fast

another battery saving tip: screen brightness setting
- at night or in dark places only set 20% - 30% of the indicator bar
- at daylight or bright places about 30% - 50%
startup.txt states
"rel_path=miui.rootfs nand_boot=0"
Should i re-name the unziped folder to miui.rootfs?
**EDIT** Yes it does need to be re named. **EDIT**

Sorry about the mixup, but there is a new download link in first post.
thanks for your patience and now the folder is "miui.rootfs"

thanks for the sharing.I love miui builds
i love all the MIUI builds & this one seems like the fastest that i've tried, only problem that i have (and i've had it with every MIUI build) is that after i set everything up, sync google, restart the phone & boot back up into android it freezes up when i see the "Preparing to scan sd card" notification in the taskbar. locks up & have to reset. happens everytime.

Have you gone through all the recommended steps i made in the first post?
it would be worth trying it, as these are the steps I made and i firmly believe
this made running the build on my device stable.
Does the theme manager works? It doesn't work in MIUI 26.11.
im running a different winmo rom (my own), formatted 8gb sd card fat 32, didnt task29 but did hard reset.
maybe a temp fix, but i downloaded Startup Manager from the market and disabled the boot media scan. works for now

Elite Blade_Rom 2.3.5 (free discussions)

The Elite Blade_Rom 2.3.5 seems to be an excellent version of the official 2.3.5.
According to the XDA rules, user discussions should be here under Blade General and not under Blade Android Development.
Thus, any user comments, please!
My experience is good. I re-partitioned ROM before installling, giving plenty of memory for apps.
ZTE Dialer and LauncherPro are included. The only thing I miss on Elite Blade is a circle battery mod. I got one from Huexxx that works fine. I don't know if that file is posted anywhere, but I can send copies of my file on request.
It's a Wifi fix for the Zte blades (Wifi) Chipset problem. It will refresh the connection
after a sleep wakeup.
Perfect
Hi elitemovil,
thanks for the new kernel.
Works great, stable and smooth. I installed the two patches, store all 3 files on the SD card before doing the ROM flash. Bat drain very low on 2G but high in 3G.
Great ROM!!
Stuck @ green droid
I'm getting stuck at the green droid after trying to install EvilRom 2.3.5. I can't get past it, even if I try to flash the rom I knew that was working before.
1. Started from CM7.1
2. Installed the rom + kernel + fix (recovery)
3. Got stuck on the green droid
4. Installed CM7.1 rom again (recovery)
5. Still got stuck on the green droid.
6. Read the fine prints on the rom page
7. Partitioned SD to the instructions (recovery)
8. Transfered roms to new SD partion
9. Flashed rom + fix + kernel (recovery)
10. Still stuck at the green droid.
I saw people in the proper thread had the same issues, but what I really want to know is how to get past it.
I did the TPT upgrade recommended in the EliteRom thread. Worked like a charm to get my angry hulk droid away from my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19211900&postcount=27
So far so good. I clearly notice how smooth EliteRom already when I'm selecting language in the start. If the developer read this, you should put the TPT upgrade in the installation procedure/text so everyone does it.
I also had to TPT Gen2 v9.
I have 2 problems with this rom.
1 - Lots of apps dont allow to move to sd (in CM7 it was possible), like "Whats App, Circle Launcher, Handcent, iGO8", etc
2 - When writing SMS, it goes very slow in the input. In the beguining of the text it goes fast, but after about 100 chars, it gets really slow. Not only with default app but also with handcent. One time i read it was because of char count... Maybe is swiftkey keyboard...
Move apps to SD SOLVED with:
ADB - ./adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
data off after sleep
Hi everybody!
I have used Blade for a year. I used JJ, then Swedish Spring, then GSF. I don't like CM 7.1 because I absolutely want the ZTE Dialer, where Contacts has an extra tab for my groups.
Thus Elite Blade is an excellent choice.
Presently I have 2 Blades (one is extra spare).
On my regular Blade I use Elite Blade 1.1 and on my extra Blade I have installed Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie RLS6 as a reference. Every night I try to make statistics of battery consumption. My goal is to find a ROM and configuration with minimal battery drain. Every second night I switch batteries, so that the old battery and the new battery should not affect result. Sometimes I wipe battery stats from Recovery.
On both phones I try to make identical setup:
Partitioned ROM to 160 mb, 2g only, all data on, wifi on, widget news&weather sync every 6h, Facebook sync every 4h, JuiceDefender, LauncherPro, Gmail, Google+, Lookout, Titanium Backup.
On both phones I have noted nightly battery drops between 10 and 20% so I can't make any conclusions so far. Perhaps I should measure over longer time span, or use apps such as BetterBatteryStats.
But one thing is strange:
Both in the Elite Blade, and on the Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie Blade, sometimes mobile data is OFF (deactivated) after the nightly sleep, despite that I alway set it to ON.
I verify this by using the advanced power widget. When I pull it down from the main screen, sometimes the mobile data button is OFF (grey), resulting that the Data box in settings is unchecked. I don't think I touched (deactiveted) it by mistake. I touch the button again so that it is green. I expect mobile and background data to be always ON when I wake up the phone. Does anybody know what can cause this? Some strange app or some setting?
I now remove all un-needed junk that uses data, such as Facebook and widgets, then continue testing.
Edit 12.11:
I removed news and weather widget, facebook, Juice Defender, Lookout, Google+ on both test phones. During this nightly test, both phones used 10-11% battery durung 10 hours, with all data and wifi on. Data was not disabled. Thus my trouble may have been caused by e.g. JuiceDefender

Don't know. Probably no difference since they are based on same code. You should overclock to about 700 mhz for games.
I've just installed the S2 version with the updated kernel from 17/11/2011 ... and everything seems to working fine.
I've just reinstalled all my apps and settings with TB and all went well.
Very fast and smooth rom.
I'll looking forward to see if battery drain is ok ... It's obvious I can't tell now (just installed).
I have very bad connection with about all roms on my work , so will try this rom.
If it'(s the same , I'll keep it for sure ,and will look for an other carrier.
Thanks you elitemovil for this rom.
Hi 2 all!
I use the s1.1 rom on my ZTE Libra.
I would like to thank Elitemovil for this GREAT ROM! This is the best rom I've ever had! It's a leader in battery life - i can use my Libra without recharge for about 2-3 days! Earlier i tried CM7(1 day) and GSF(1,5 day).
Only one a little question i have:
can i change the buttons in power-widget on status line? I don't need the wi-fi, bt, gps buttons. I need 3G-2G, Sync, Sound buttons instead of them.
Kuoi, I'm eagerly awaiting your feedback of the S2.
Two questions:
a) How does the battery life,speed and memory consumption of this ROM compare to the previous (Froyo stock) ROMs?
b) Are there a any bugs/problems/todo/open issues for this ROM?
I would like your opinion before I flash this ROM.
Please and thank you in advance.

1 : I can't tell for now , I'll now charge full and will calibrate then . Overnight was -0% , so the overnight drain is proven to be good ;-)
2 : Didn't found any bugs or fc or anything. I even have connection with my carrier ;-)
Hope this helps a bit , Kuoi
By accident I found this discussion thread in the Blade General subforum.
I'm just wondering if it couldn't be useful to post experiences about this ROM in only ONE thread. And as there is an original thread, why not there?
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks, Kuoi.
Keep us informed of your findings.
I have to keep the stock rom on my new blades for two days so that my carrier can unlock them.
Until then, give feedback, please.
EDIT: Could you please inform me if this ROM has Portuguese (Portugal) locale.

[Review]CM9 port on Galaxy3[Review]

Hello everybody...XD
I've been trying the "new" port of Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS), from the following topic:
[DEV][WIP] Ice Cream Sandwich Port (AOSP/CM9)
And after some weeks of dayly usage of build 4 with Update 1 i've decided to make a review of it.
The original post has a list of working and not working features, so first of all i'm going to comment and complete the ROM issues:
Bluetooth: It's not possible even to turn it on, so if you really use the bluetooth, forget it.
Wifi AP: The native tool doesn't work at all. The ROM includes the app Wifi-Tether, through this app you are able to turn on the Wifi-AP, other devices can see and connect but that's all, you can't actually use the internet .
Calendar: In the raw ROM it's not possible to syncronize your google calendar account, it can be solved by installing the GAPPS: link GAPPS...Thanks Halco (it also fixes a google+ app issue)
Camera(Photo): You can took photos but you can see them only after they are saved, through the gallery app, i mean the camera app has no live preview of the photo, only a black screen.
Camera(Video): You can't record videos period.
Videos: You can't watch videos, even youtube videos, youtube crashes when it attempts to reproduce the video.
Games: Forget every application which demands high processing .
Issues I've faced during usage:
Sometimes the phone crashes when you remove the power cable;
You cannot natively sync your facebook contacts (I've used this appfacebook contact-Sync.=P);
Sometimes all of a sudden the phone freezes, and you need to reebot it ;
It can take a bit to open the App Draw if you join the Apps and Widget Tabs, if you face this slowness go to Settings->Laucher->App Draw and uncheck Join with Apps;
The Data Usage (a native tool that keeps a track of your data usage) doesn't work;
Those were all the problems i had with this ROM, but all the other amazing Ice Cream Sandwich features are fully operative, so if you just like me don't use those missing tools go ahead it is a legendary SO with dozen of little features that make all the difference, all with an smooth interface...XD
Well this review is my attempt of a useful way to say thank you to the Developers...
Nice review, and yes you can post market links, just not links to warez websites.
Cheers

thanks!
perhaps you can try the newest arakmar kernel with openFIMG update and tell us if sth changed

i've just installed...soon I post my experience
actually you should use latest openFIMG update with arakmars G3mod kernel. it improves overall performance and data usage feature works with the new kernel.
general assumption: when doing a review you might want to say some positive stuff about the ROM as you only said which features don't work. overall performance is good on ICS though trebuchet launcher consumes a lot of CPU power (but it's version 0.1, so there will be improvements anyway). there's no word on battery life, too, which is quite good for ICS.
[edit:] oops I was to slow
Good review,but to many problems,i will instal it in the future,ICS is amazing,
I like to add some more bugs

I like to add some more bugs,
- During the call when you press any key to interact with IVR the phone call goes to mute.
- Phone became very slow when you using is continuously.
A lot of faults but not much said about the features that are working so just thought I would go a bit further....
Widgets in appdraw
You can now view all widgets in the app draw without having to add them to the home screen, this is a staple feature of ICS and has been ported beautifully, it gives you a grid size in the draw too so you can see sizes.
Folders on homescreens
You can pile apps ontop of eachother to create folders so you can have all your messaging apps (whatsapp,fbmessenger, smmsmms) in one place. just click on it and it will open the folder to make your choice. it makes finding things quickly very simple, especially if you have alot of apps.
Apex Launcher
Apex launcher is a replacement launcher for trebuchet and helps run the new OS butter smooth. it also a little more customisable and user friendly and runs the best on this port. if you want fast and smooth, download it and push it to system/app for all functions
notification bar
the notification pull down bar on the port is alot more customisable than anything on GB or earlier OS's. add a weather option to it for a really sexy look.
Once installing the new gapps, they work absolutely fine, still a few syncing issues but all in all a decent attempt, the calendar especially is cleaner and more user friendly than previous builds.
extended power menu is working brilliantly, can go straight into download or recovery mode which i believe is now touch screen if i remember correctly... (please correct if wrong) and connecting to wifi is fast and reliable. There are many more things that really do show a huge amount of promise in this build, it is clear that given a little time and help with resources, these dev's are going to pull off what i personally didnt think possible. ICS ON G3!! D
Did some testing
I tested a view tastes of CM9. Was quite happy with the latest builds, however discovered a small issue that makes it a bit difficult to operate. I will describe it, hope this helps the developers.
First: Wifi, data is all working quite well, calender worked as I needed.
After flashing the rom CM9 systems work fine for about a day, after that when the phone goes into sleep you can wake it up, however the digitizer does not show any sign of life.
The screen however is fully functional, buttons operate.
After some random button pressing the digitizer migt start working, sometimes a reboot is the only solution.
However after a reboot sometimes it operates for half an hour and shows up problems with the digitizer again. I had this on both the G3 phones I owe (use one for testing).
Why it operates the first day after flashing without a problem is a little weird.
For the moment I'm back on Dutchmod 5.3
I lost the market (play store) after installing the G-apps given in the first post.
Looks like the G-apps from the above link is de-Odex.
Can any one give me a link to the odex G-apps?

I don't think gapps has odex and deodex apps
It is the ROM which is odexed and deodexed.
It works for icsforg3 build 4 so you can install it on any odex ROM
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA

What do you expect from the new custom stock that I am making?

Just to know if you guys want something for my rom​
Battery Life. Even Underclocking isn't increasing battery life with BORETS24's kernel, do something that'll increase the SOT ! I don't get more than 3 hours of SOT with any ROM, Kernel.
Stable gps during using waze or other gps app....no more gps lost connection plz
i would expect a simple build, with no bloadware and of course stable even with a a501cg. iirc most problem are with that device.
list of expectations(mine and the others)
- stable
- no bloadware
- simple installing/autoinstaller (there is a simple-to-customize autoinstaller mentioned in this forum)
- possible to choose gapps installing by choice in one install process.
- gps
- led functional
- battery life
Simple Rom (like a pizza without any topping. User can select toppings )
Stability (GPS, wifi, data connection, bluetooth, and of course the device itself. Sudden restart is really terrible.)
DT2W/S
Battery life
LED with color (if possible)
I'd love to have another UI. To get the CM12.1 drop-down menu instead of Asus one.
Provide and alternative to borets' kernel: it has great features, but for me was and keeps to be more battery eating (I think due to the dt2w and overclock integration) than even a stock one.
