[XPERIA X10 General] darkvalance:
Just want to ask around for the difference opinions on which gingerbread roms give the best battery life since i find it almost impossible to test every single rom.

For me, i have tried out Trips MIUI, wolfbreaks V6 stock, erickwill and alzbac windows 7 mod (all with same amount of usage which includes 1 hour+ surfing , constant smsing and frequent checking of time)

Trips MIUI can last me around 1 day and 10 hours

Wolfbreak V6 Stock lasted me around 1 day 16 hours

After i installed the undervolt module with stock kernal, battery life increased tremendously, was at 30 percent after 2 days and 10 hours, quite sure it can last 3 days.

Erickwill's rom last approximately 1 day 10 hours straight

while alzbac's mod lasted around 1 days and 14 hours

In a nutshell, i feel that wolfbreaks rom With undervolt module gives the best battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
IMO these threads are pointless and have been done a million times.

Everyones usage is different and there are so many variables that come into play (like radio in different areas, signal quality, etc...) that it is impossible to come to any sort of a concrete conclusion.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
No.

I was looking for an answer to this question. After spamming my friend colossus's inbox, we have come to a conclusion that nothing beats stock plus undervolt and doomkernel.

Stock gave me 3 days on 2G, wolf gave me 10 hours...ThGo gave me 12 hours... Ericks ROM was too ugly..

Nasif's ULTIMA had really good battery too, and had the best UI. Though the only downside was the settings lag
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Different people will get completely different experience though, considering the amount if different areas, different signal, etc...

That's the thing, it will be different for people. There is no overall best battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] darkvalance:
its always good to hear peoples opinion before plunging into a rom since there are really too many to try and it takes quite a few days before we notice battery life performance etc. , gives us an idea of what we really want to try at the moment dun we?

cheers no hard feelings
[XPERIA X10 General] 4llerbuntu:
sorry but can you point me to the thread where i can find the undervolt module?

i run stock with doomlord v5 kernel unlocked.
[XPERIA X10 General] darkvalance:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16832751&postcount=8022

BTW u can only flash the undervolt module if your using stock kernel.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Stock kernel.

Doom kernel is already undervolted I think.
[XPERIA X10 General] Kat-CeDe:
Hi,

not all of Dooms kernel are undervolted. He changed it a bit and they are mostly prepared for under voltage now. With unlocked kernel 5 you need something like SetXperia to set the voltages a bit lower. I lowered the low frequencies around 15%.

[XPERIA X10 General] zeus09:
True that, batter life has a huge impact on signal strength, area, etc...

But if u just take ur self alone and try all those ROMs, think that would give a rough ideas as to which ROM stands tall in-terms of battery life. I've tried several ROMs. Best is STOCK & Wolfs v06. Worst is MIUI (No offence, its just my opinion, and would still love to use a MIUI ROM despite of data loss)

Hope this will help...
[XPERIA X10 General] darkvalance:
yea lol just want hear if there are any other roms that people feel have better battery life than those i have already tried.

When i switch data connection on then after 10min. Cell directly switch off.im using destiny 2.0rom with g3mod 1.8performance kernel.it is battery problem or kernel????or its time to buy new battery??? plz help me.....
[Galaxy 3 General] 1000bech:
you should try calibrating your battery, you can use "Battery calibrator" app (available on market). You have to charge your battery to 100% and then calibrate using the app, you should do this each time you flash a new ROM.
[Galaxy 3 General] Pastorelli:
With data connection on it can use a lot of power using froyo based roms (not by all) indicating by a temperature rise. I am afraid calibrating won't help on this.
[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
buy a new battery..

i m not bluffing. i had the exact same prob.

buy a new battery from flipkart (u seemed to b from india) .. it's Rs.389 there. :)

[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
ok. try by ur own .
[Galaxy 3 General] pratikmore:
Before flashing the destiny rom;this problem was not there...i flashed the g3mod kernel over fugumod,i dont know what is the exactly problem of battery drain...Edit: can anykne provide me 2.4 alpha 19 fugumod kernel which is used in kyrillos v6.0 rom....
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohanshbhr:
yes, you have to buy new battery
[Galaxy 3 General] pratikmore:
Now problem solved by changing the kernel.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpharoah:
I had an HD2 prior to my DHD and I loved how there were so many custom AOSP ROMs for the HD2 along side CM7.

I'm finding it hard to believe that there are so many iterations of Sense ROMs (which I never really liked tbh) and MIUI and then CM7 and some patched CM7s but barely any AOSP ones compiled/tweaked/moded for the DHD.

No one has had the desire to dev a stock AOSP from scratch ROM for the DHD??

[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Wow thanks for sharing that! Being a VLC fan I can't wait for this to get out of alpha stage. So far I've only tried opening a .wmv, but it was flawless. I saw that others were able to open AVIs and MKVs in the comments at the link.

There are two different apks. One is called neon and the other NoNeon. My A500 uses the NoNeon apk.
[Acer Iconia A500] suomaf:
Don't mention it. Saw it was not on here, so took the chance to post the thread. Would appreciate if you guys could report back in with your success or failures.

[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
failed to play severall different file types, mkv, flv and an avi i had. Its to be expected though after all it is an alpha stage app. I've had it for a while now, just a heads up if you go to cvpcs's blog 'still loading... ' he had compiled the NEON and nonNEON for download, if you dont know which one to get a500 is nonNEON.
[Acer Iconia A500] 1andoid:
The non neon version plays all the avi files thru es file explorer on iconia a500 with thor2000ro v14.2 rom. MP3 files are not recognized by it. Also it crashes when there are large number of files in a folder or in the root folder of the usb drive.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

the non neon version works on my iconia with thor's rom. Does not plays mp3's. Crashes when there are large number of avi files are in the folder of the usb drives.

Ther is another version from member craigacgomez,it did not worked for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] cdo5:
Put the neon version on a rooted nook tablet and it works well. Music and movies in one player. Music sound was good and there was no stuttering in movies.

It is still bare bones - just a player and no playlists, random play, etc. but a great start!
[Acer Iconia A500] Scribblle:
thanks

i hope this one works i tried one and it said it was an older alpha beta and kept crashing and google play wont let me download it it something about not available in my devices country

You can go to http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/ and choose the tegra2 version. It installs and works (kinda) but very much beta.

[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
runs great...theres a deodexed bloated and debloated version
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Just flashed debloated deodexed... bootloop.... what I do wrong.. can't get into recovery
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
how long did u wait? bc it takes a while on 1st boot
[Motorola Droid 3] xconwayx:
Do you have to clear data and cache before installing? I remember bootlooping old phones because of that.
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
no need to wipe says instructions. i didnt and ive flashed both w/ no problems. also, u need to be on 890 for it to work
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Calendar seems to be missing...can anyone confirm this, and how do we get this back?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Waited over an hour. I was on 890.. not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I had a faulty 890? Say it didn't flash 890 and I was on stock, where would that put me? Phone is still bootlooping.. when it first turns on, shows motorola symbol with dual core, is on for a few seconds then flashes back to black, you know like before the boot ani. The pulls up same screen.. any way to get back to stock?

Btw- thank you for responding so quickly.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Are you using hashcodes recovery or koush's?

If you're using hashcodes just restore a nandroid by booting into bp tools.

If you're using koush's then you're probably gonna have to rsd flash the xml. You could probably moto-fastboot just the system partition and be fine
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Trying to get into bp tools. Won't even boot into cwm, does same boot loop.. uhh am I done for?

Btw hashcode sir.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Yeah sounds like your /system is pretty botched up. If you just usd rsd lite and flash the xml/sbf and then re-root then install either recovery(I recommend koush's going forward cause of roms) koush's will restore nandroid backups made on hashcodes recovery.

*if your nandroid is on your internal memory you're gonna have to copy it over to your actually sdcard.

Hopefully you made a nandroid haha
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Thank you, I will give a go. Just getting to my laptop in my boxes. Let you know how it fares.
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
im pretty sure i read somewhere that calendar was messing up the deodexing. so thats prob why its missing.

so all u can do is boot up to see the bootlogo, no adb, no menu, etc? but no, youre not done for...just use the fastboot recovery files
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Is there a way to add the calendar back in after flashing? I tried running the apks but no love.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Ultima86. I Can get to the menu with recovery, bptools etc.. but when tried to select gives bootscreen bootloop..
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Eris may I ask how to enter the mode to flash sbf
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Power down. Press the 'm' button on the keyboard. While keeping it pressed it, power the phone up. You'll get a menu wiith bptools and ap fastboot, etc. Volume down navigates, volume up selescts. Go to ap fastboot. Then plug your d3 into your computer and let the drivers instal automatically, then click show devices in rsd and it should be there
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
not sure but im guessing itll have to be deodexed as well since youve ran it & it wont install
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Thank you eris master! Back to stock! You're tha Man!! Now to root and retry! Ahh made my day, thought my device was done for. I appreciate it

[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Got it working! Thanks for all your help!
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
I think I know the answer to this but just not exactly sure but what does deodexed do to my phone. I think its for themes when they start to come out. But do I need this for roms. Also does this do anything to my phone that will make it faster or run better? My phone runs really good but just whanted to know.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Its for themes. You don't need it for roms either. Roms are generally deodexed though because they are themed. I wouldn't worry about it unless you wanted to do a lot of metamorphs and custom themes
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
Ok cool I thought the roms were already deodexed . Just don't want to miss anything cool. There is a rom that might come out today if you go over to the droid forums and " I use the droid forums app" and go to roms then sticky there is one that we are waiting for the developer to drop it today. I think its was a rom for the og droid.

Nah I could record 720p just fine for minutes. I even recorded a whole basketball game back when eb13 got officially released lol

That's what leads me to think its eh06 but I haven't seen anyone ***** about it which also leads me to believe it might be something I got setup in my phone. I don't wanna go back to ec05 but if its the only way, then w/e

FWIW, my phone running stock EG22 does not do this. I just tested it by recording a random video at 1280x720 for four and a half minutes with no issues. I've run every GB leak up to the most recent EH17 and I still come back to EG22 as I feel it is the most stable of them all. Of course stock Froyo is still tops when it comes to stability, but if you must have GB might I suggest you try EG22 out for a week or so.

Latest kies version is installed.

In an earlier post someone was talking about another drive in addition to kies, where do I find this??

Sorry I am so lost and frustrated, I am not a noob, I switched roms on my EVO every few days, but this is my first sammy and I can't get the damn thing to recognize my phone, Could anyone give me a detailed dumbed down step by step process please? Thank you!!!!

tried on my 2nd pc, kies intalled without error message, but didnt recognize my device, i chose the install drivers option in kies, it seemed to install, but odin doesnt recognize it and still says usb not recognized when i plug it in urrrrr!

ok so the second PC seems to have gotten the drive installed and my computer recognizes the it as samsung usb modem, and samsung android device, but it still isnt recognized by kies or odin, and the usb not recognized still pops up. When I go to device manager I can update the epic touch driver and it seems to take but there is also a USB mass storage driver that has a yellow triangle and I Cant seem to fix it.

Close kies, open odin, make sure usb-debugging is enable on your phone, try connecting your phone to a different usb port. Should re-install drivers, and pop up in odin. You don't need to open kies at all.
