Barebones is really insane in battery life !!! it has been 12 hours ..... since and still i m on 90% but though it seems that the older or newer sim it really has a greater impact on battery life .... older seems eats up quickly whereas newer sim they use a lot less battery
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
can confirm the sim effect...i too have lot better battery life after change of sim...am on bbfroyo...amazing rom...15 hours..lot of smses...few calls...an hour of chess plus quite a bit of aimless playing around with the phone...still 78% battery left...amazing
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
kevin_diu, thanks for the answer, I was wondering on this kind of relation between them...

Wouldn't it be possible to get the same shell as MIUI while using CM7?

joydeep1985, that is really incredible if you get that much battery from this smartphone. How's the performance on it?

I just don't get the sim issue, what is that?
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Confused!

Wow! BB Froyo 157 gave me 12 hours of life from 100%-0% I can't believe how all of you get so much battery life! I'm back on WIUI and I get 18 hours from full to zero now.
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
lol not sure but somehow i feel that the rom suits according to the original hardware aspects ... every rom isnt for everybody... to be frank i used almost all the roms .... max to max i used to get 24 hrs backup... to be frank on barebones now its 36 hours running on standby.... havent used it much ..... but although with the same usage i barely used to get around 24-30 hours .....
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
used the Miui as well as CM7 .... but somehow it didnt suite me ..... to be frank there have been some nightly builds which confirm to have a really awsome battery...... but others are screwed... regarding the performance ...... i havent tested it as wel as now .... but i guess all should work fine.... i dont use 3G only 2G as of now ... but quite a number of users have reported that the battery on 3G as wel is good on barebones .... gaming and camera are normal .. i played angry birds .... for 10 minutes.... no lagg ..... if u want evn more .. u can undervolt or overclock according to ur need in bootmenu :)... enablng all the modules :) .... that might sound great for ur need :P
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
I hope so :D MIUI is close source project so no way to port MIUI to CM7.

For me BB1.5.1 is the best barebones version. You guys must try it :D Now I will go back to CM7 to see weather the battery life is as good as reported from the thread.
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
I've been watching videos about MIUI, it seems like quite an improvement on the overall using experience.

Some people here have said that it is outdated to CM7 concerning to bug fixes... is it something I should bother with? I don't know which are those bugs and how they impact on the usage.

I'm thinking on going for one of this enhanced ROMs (MIUI or CM7) and then, if I get too little battery autonomy, going for a minimalistic one like barebones...
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
BareBones 1.5 was the first ROM I flashed and then it was CM7 and lately MIUI specifically WIUI. But nothing gave me more battery life than 12-18 hours (100-0)

but I'm gonna try BB1.5 again and see how it goes. Will keep you all posted. Cheerio!
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
For those who all are looking for better battery backup.... there are two roms in my opinion...

1. MS2ginger by Walter

2. Barebones 1.5

Note : For barebones please use the original sbf of Sea-15 ... cause i am using the Sea-15 as my base for my barebones .. if someone uses nordic , or frech or CEE .... i wont b sure abt the confirmation if it gives such a drastic platform battery backup.....

so people who are looking for barebones flash with Sea-15 original SBF first and then root it and then flash with barebones WITHOUT WIPING... thats the very important point in flashing barebones ...YOU SHOULD NOT WIPE BEFORE FLASHING BAREBONES.... well thats how i did... good luckwith people with barebones or MS2 ginger
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Is the battery destroy? Have you tried baseband switcher? BB1.5.1 is base on 3.4.2-177-005 so you must flash it WITH FULL WIPE to see if it help.
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
Well and some other noob question: How easy is to exchange between different ROMs??

Let's say that I'm using CM7 and I want to try MIUI... and then tryout barebones or MS2Ginger...

Is it just to wipe the data on 2ndInit menu and install other ROM zip file? Or that's just for ROMs from the same bloodline?

Sorry to ask that many questions, that's just because I want to find the better ROM for me and then don't bother with it, just use and enjoy my Defy :P
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
I'm beginning to think the same Kevin, with my battery performance in the midst of all these marathon runners at 1/2/3/4 days! I'm gonna get me of them 3500mh batteries off ebay :D

Till then I'm giving BB 1.5 another go and I got WIUI 1.9.2 waiting on my SD card should I feel hungry for gingerbread :)
[Defy Android Development] onlinejobwork:
Totally agree thats that best rom for better battery life, no hangs no freeze, 720 video record through stock camera, vioce recorder, all apps and radio words find and its fast enough, if you find any better rom than this one which can record 720p and call recorder with better battery life let me know

thanks

[Defy Android Development] onlinejobwork:

CM7/WIUI: 7mA

using HSDPA battery consumption :(reference only, depends of usage)

Barebones has all functions you want but don't know for 720p record(I don't have red lens device so I can't test it.) But you can make it a try. :D

nothing out of the ordinary running in watchdog or running services.. when i go to bed at night with full battery i wake up and its around 50% with NO USE.... i look at battery history and it says the phone has been awake 100% of the time,,, back ground data is off, auto sync off, already deleted facebook and twitter and picasa, location and gps off, cant understand why phone is awake 100% of the time, how do i find out what is causing this? its really annoying ... and yes iv searched

Two things. One have your tried wipeing I know it sucks but that might be your only solution. Two when I read the title of the article all I could think of is Samuel Jackson reads 'Go the **** to Sleep'

lol ...ya i wiped and formatted system, cache, dalvik before i installed melvin's rooted stock 2.3.4...its weird because if i restart the phone it shows that it is sleeping now intermittently but i did the same thing yesterday and all of a sudden it started having 100% awake time again...

Install BetterBatteryStats (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats). Created by a fellow XDA-member. It shows which app keeps your phone awake.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
thank you for pointing me to this app, its great... it says that about 90% of the awake time is CSPUSH (com.htc.cs.HTC Sense), but the count is 25...so how do i interpret this since its not an app i can uninstall? it also tells me that alarm manager's count is 2044 but only .1% of wake time, why is that count so high but so low on the % awake time?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
ok so iv got cspush 8 hrs count :25 90%, activity manager 2m count:548 .4%, alarm manager 33s count: 2099 .1%, checkin service 30 s count :419 .1%, RILJ (dialer) 27s count:766 .1%, sleep_broadcast 18s count: 761 .1%, *vibrator* (android system) 11s count:1130 0%, SCREEN_FROZEN 8s count: 771 0%, activity manager-sleep 1s count:2156 0%... these are the ones that seem to have the highest numbers for percent or count in BetterBatteryStats, can someone help me determine whats causing the solid line for awake on my battery stats while im sleeping please?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FTC:
...there is a fun-app simulating a blue screen for those who are reminiscenting the "good old days of MS-Dos"... But on actual WP7, there is definitley no blue screen nor any screen of any other colour.....:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Actually it's not true. Samsung Focus rarely restarts to "red screen of death" ;) Not death at all but seems like a launcher app bug (probably sd-card related)...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fed44:
I would reckon that it's probable that there is bugcheck code in the operating system kernel, but the chances of ever receiving a bugcheck "in the wild" are slim to none.

The "red screen of death" which was mentioned above was an issue I used to have on my omnia 7 that could happen on startup, but only when / after I had messed with the registry to change the bpp to 32 instead of 16 to get around the majority of the banding issues that occured, but since I reflashed to mango and lost that chonge I don't have this issue anymore.

P.S: BSODs are not the "oh so evil", they are a security measure and a useful diagnostic utility that driver developers have to learn to embrace. Advanced PC users also know that these can be dubugged, and the source of the bugcheck can be determined. Those who do generally notice that the reason is rarely Microsoft.

[HTC Sensation] xotox83:
Hi all,

Sorry for posting my question here, I'm not allowed to ask this within the dev thread. I was satisfied with the named ROM since I have flashed the two new v2.0 and v2.1 versions. It takes a while and a lot of reboots to improve the performance of those two versions, for example the sliding between the homescreens.

But when I slide to homescreens with widgets like friendstream, calendar or contacts it's very laggy. But not with the ROM version v1.0 RC3.

But in my opinion the biggest problem is when the phone is on standby mode. When I unlock it after nearly 6 - 8 hours, it seems that only one cpu is working with less than 500 MHz. It's too laggy to use and that I haveto reboot it.

But that's not a solution, only a workaround :)

Are there any ideas to solve it? Maybe there is a problem with the dual core script?!

Thanks in advance and greetings from germany.

reinstall ActiveSync, the drivers sould be automatically installed with the package.

Install, update & FAQ.

How do I install this properly and clean from another MIUI or CM based rom?

THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA!

1: make full backup using miui backup (skip if you're on CM)

2: reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup

3: do a factory reset and format /system

4: flash the .zip and reboot, if you came from CM you can skip the next steps

5: restore your miui backup

6: reboot

How do I update an existing MIUI/CM based rom and keeping my apps/data?

1: make full backup using miui backup (skip if you're on CM)

2: reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup

3: goto mounts/storage and format /cache /system and wipe the dalvik cache

4: flash the .zip and reboot, if you came from CM you can skip the next steps

5: restore your miui backup, some system settings may have change between releases, so this will not always for all settings

6: reboot

FAQ:

Q: The phone is lagging like mad after first boot/flash.

A: This is normal, let the phone settle for a few minutes.

Q: Why can't I run things as root anymore?

A: Since MIUI 1.9.9 you have to enable root permissions. Open up the "Superuser" app, press the menu soft key, click settings and enable root permissions.

A: Download them from the market or directly from here.

Extended settings issues:

Q: How do I remove the Google logo from the notification bar?

Q: The wall paper scrolling doesn't work.

A: To fix; open the menu on the mainscreen and goto Launcher. Disable and enable wallpaper scrolling and it should work. This only has to be done once.

Q: I've set an alarm but there is no icon to show it is enabled.

A: To fix; open MIUI Control app, go to Clock options and disable and enable the alarm icon. This only has to be done once.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kimlindo:
This looks perfect for me as I wanted to try MIUI but thought some other ROM was to bloated.

edit: Damn, my phone is at 2%.. Gonna have to charge it up before trying it. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
At the moment it is just English, but I'm sure you can apply the 1.8.26 language packs to this as it is pretty much stock, with some crud removed.

The miuiandroid.com guys did add some tweaks for GPS, which is mostly for Europe. For other users, replace /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/telocation.db with these files. Just open up the ROM zip in 7zip/winrar/winzip and over write the ones in there, then flash as normal.

Can you some report without all the bloats in it for battery life? So far, 1.8.26 MIUI.US is 1 1/2 a day on moderate use with data and wifi on. And it sleeps like a baby.

Thanks in advance.

Firstly it looks very gud!

Secondly how is the battery life ? I don't go out much so i don't want amazing battery life just average!

What are AOSP roms? ( I am not a noob but i have installed only jetpack rom till now which is very easy to install but i just want to know more before I flash this)

Then ,what is hashtab?and what do we have to check? Can't understand!

I couldn't understand the cache and all that clearing points can u explain them in easy step to step way?

Pls reply!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] amirage:
@bhuvan

AOSP refers to the Android Open Source Project. Google's phones are based on the AOSP. Any other phone manufacture has their own version of Android on their phones such as HTC (Sense), Samsung (Touchwiz), LG (variant of Touchwiz) etc...These are based on the AOSP but skinned to the manufacturer's needs..

If you wish to install MIUI, please ensure you have read and every installation step carefully. You need to 1st make sure that u hv gingerbread bootloaders. Since you are running Jetpack ROM, you should be on gb bootloaders...Once this is confirmed, simply put the MIUI ROM that you desire, go to recovery and flash the ROM....wait till it boots completely and voila...ur phone will never be the same again...

Once you are on MIUI, you'll never want to go back to samsung roms...as for the battery life...I get 48 hrs of medium usage - wifi (95% of the time and rest on 3.5g network), browsing, facebook, emailing (a lot), photos...

I'm sure you will have fun with MIUI...and there will be no turning back...If you wish to go back to Samsung based ROMs, just download any Speedmod kernel flashed via Odin and that's it...u r all set...

Hv fun..

So far so good, I installed this ROM last night and until now haven't encountered any problem yet. This ROM is just what I want, Galnet MIUI seems a bit bloated and unstable at the moment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Thanks for the feedback! My battery life greatly depends on what I do. If i casually browse, make calls and maybe watch some you it lasts 1-2 days. Be sure to calibrate your battery though, its easy but time consuming but worth it.

I've been using this little mashup for ages based on the miuiandroid.com releases.

A little secret, a kitchen may be up soon. So you can brew your own MIUI, choose a kernel, gps tweaks EU/US/etc, pick a default theme, with MIUIthe possibilities are end;less. It is just sad the MIUI community seems fragmented now.

miuiandroid.com vs miui.us vs galnet vs. miui.com

Why can't we all get along and make an epic ROM we can all customize!

I want that, and I shall do my best to make it happen. We may have to follow the -stable branch and only add weekly updates/fixes when it concerns our phones.

Personally I like to run the latest stuff, but not at the price that I can't rely on this ROM to serve me when I simply need a phone ;)
