Can I flash Undervolt file on stock cm7?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peste76:
So my setup.

ROM: CM 7.02 stable

Kernel: LorDmod 4.5.2CFS-BFQhs

Radio: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2

No energy options in CM7 only SetCPU with Governor Smartass 230 min - 1075 max and this two profiles: Screen Off 122min/460max, Battery < 30% 230min/768max. And 3G on - i bet if i only allow 2G it would be much better. But it is ok for me.

And for the nearly first time i loose only 2% per hour with an average consumption of 3 to 10mAh with some peaks of 70-150mAh. In this state the phone was idle with 2 Exchange Accounts on Push, Googlemail & Weather.

A better one i had never before and i used a few ROMs. I know it is not perfect but sure a bit is going away for sometimes switching 2G/3G.

You mean a kernel like LorD's? Yes, you can flash that over the CM7 ROM. A lot of people do.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
No, you can flash lorDmod's kernel which in my opinion is even better. Then you can undervolt for better battery life.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
I don't mean to disparage a useful community effort here on XDA, but from everything I've ever read and experienced, the "best" radio depends a lot on what country you're in, and what carrier you have. People report wildly differing results on the same radio & ROM combination when they're in different parts of the world. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include the country and network when posting results? Since not everyone has that info in their profile. Just a suggestion. :)

Also:

:confused: ;) :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
clearing things up

You're right mate, but to put a massive hole in your logic....everyone's country is already displayed on the left side of their posts. :p :D

About the DHD, sadly it was time to pass it on to another playful owner. :cool:

Plus I started getting that Dual Core craving that everyone is talking about lol :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Not everyone - check this thread for examples. :p

And I understand wanting to upgrade, just wondering how you can know which combination works best if you no longer have a DHD? :confused:

Anyway, I just thought it was a useful point to make - radio performance is much more about location and carrier than about ROM. Sorry for intruding on your thread. ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Oh mate, I've been through so many combinations with my DHD. The only radio I didin't test is the latest one, which was only revealed like a week ago anyways.

The kind of battery life that I got with my setup (that is shown in the OP) is truly amazing for a DHD. That's why so many people have started using that now.

;)

Oh and by the way...dual core is awesome! :D Atrix was released in UK today exclusively on Orange!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Yes, I've tried all the available radios, and read the radios thread, and through various other threads, comparing my experiences with others'. Location makes a difference to which radio gives the best reception, and that can also affect battery. But anyway, I've made my point and you seem to be having fun, so I'll move on. :)

Enjoy your shiny phone, wish I didn't have another 12 months on my contract, as there will be some great new phones out this year I think. :D

If they did it is far from a guarantee that it would be equally as good on your phone.

It really is true that the best method is to try them out for a few days (yes, it will take a few days to settle) and see. Start with the newest Radio and work back.

Everything works fine but battery is just terrible with recomended radio and kernel.

Thanks for answers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Yeah, should be fine. Let me know if you run into issues.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapetan:
Okay, just few q about installing...

Radio is installing through radio tool (start/run/cmd, browse to sdk tool folder, adb commands etc...) like every other radio?

Other .zip files are installing from CWM "install from zip" option ?

Will I lose my data/apps on phone?

Is there any concrete order of installation ? For example:

1.Radio install

2.Kernel install....

etc

or it doesn't matter what is first installed?

And finally, should I wipe bat stats before starting whole process?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
You will not lose anything unless you are going to flash cm 7.0.2.

Flash Kernel in recovery, remember to uncheck "restore settings on boot" in settings first, reboot. Flash Radio via fastboot, reboot. Then you can flash Ril in recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapetan:
Okay, I got it.

When to install lovervoltages file?

Now I'm waiting the phone to finish charging and I'll post if successful.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Ok, remember to calibrate battery at least twice after setting this up.

Lowervoltages file needs to be flashed straight after flashing the kernel, do not reboot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapetan:
By calibrating you mean at least 2 full charging/discharging cycles?

So installation will be:

1. Kernel from CWM and undervoltage .zip

Reboot

2.Flash Radio

Reboot

3.Flash RIL

Am I correct?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkcr:

And another issue I saw just now...

Camera is showing black screen when I activate it. It take pictures okay but until I go into Gallery I can't see anything on screen. It's just black.

Is there a way to roll back operations I made? To uniinstall new kernel,ril and undervoltage files.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
When you get an error under WiFi then that's a kernel problem. Either flash ROM again to get the stock kernel or flash a different custom kernel.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapetan:
^ It worked :) I re-flashed LorDMod kernel again with undervolt .zip.

Wifi is working and BT also but still camera problem. Now it freeze phone completely when I activate it or when I enter into the gallery. Only shutting down phone helps.

How to fix this now?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:

Camera360 and FxCamera both works with no problem as I can see...(free versions from market)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Did you do a md5 hash check when you downloaded the ROM? Some files could be corrupted. Did the camera ever work properly on current CM7 version?

I would suggest updating your kernel to latest v5.5 version.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
It would a good idea to update the kernel, since the setup mentioned in the op is designed for CM 7.0.2. I have NEVER had issues that you are describing, using that specific setup.

To be honest though I would advise to flash back to CM 7.0.2 anyway because a lot of people are having issues with latest release at the moment. I found the previous version to be stable and with this setup you can get max performance and battery life.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapetan:
I installed 7.0.3 about 15 days ago and worked very well including camera, gallery, video recording....

I'll search for that kernel and update it.

Well, I know that it's designed for 7.0.2 but I was on 7.0.3 and new flashing was not possible at moment 'cause of various things such a slow EDGE internet (my ISP provider was down) etc. etc.

I'll give a shot to latest kernel and I'll post the results.

EDIT:

Installed BFQhs V5.5 Kernel from thislink and -25mV undervoltage file to try it.

Everything is working fine for now, will test in next days.
