[Atrix 4G General] KulDrive:
Easiest way

would be to install a similar ROM such as Alien 4 without the theme. It looks and works almost exactly the same way as the stock ROM but with added goodies such as Tethering (all you have to do is turn it on to make it work) and the Droid 3 camera app which allows you to record video in 1080p. Just download the zip file into the memory card and flash it and you should be good. Let me know if you need assistance:)
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Just a sidenote, you asked for "stock Android"... CM7 is as close as you are going to come (at this moment) to what we call "vanilla" or even "stock" ANDROID. I understand you want stock MOTOBLUR, but that is far from stock Android.. I thought I would point that out to you jic.:)
[Atrix 4G General] AAD_1:
Sorry for the confusion for stock android I mean motoblur gingerbread. I meant the one which ships with the phone and since Motorola came out with gingerbread update I would like to have that installed.

Someone I was talking to today said if you root you device and try going back, device will brick, is there risk involved in this process?
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
you're being misinformed, rooting your device poses no risk. all rooting does is give your device root access to system files.

however, if you do the Gingerbread OTA update through Motorola, you're going to end up stuck on Gingerbread. if you attempt to RSD flash a .sbf file to downgrade, you will break your device.

however, you can install a froyo fruit cake to downgrade to Froyo if you don't like Gingerbread.

just look at the top of this forum and read the noob thread, it has all the information you need. after reading it, read it again. and after that, go into the development forum and read all of the stickies there. after that, go and read the noob thread again and then you should have all your questions answered.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Napstar:
For controlling keypad back-light LED brightness:

Requirement:

Rooted ROM

UC kernel v4

Terminal emulator or use adb shell

Follow these commands in terminal emulator or in adb shell:

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

It will set your LED brightness to 100.

Note that resetting brightness value to 0 before new value is required.

And also, the brightness value gets reseted when device goes to sleep and woken up. You will needed some script manager to control this in background continuously

OR

use custom scripts like init.qcom.post_boot.sh found in stock ROM's /system/etc folder and add them to init.d folder.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Napstar:
Note1:

From UC Kernel v4 and onwards there will be two releases for every type of ROM, one for stable OC upto 1.6GHz with all features and other with OC upto 2GHz.

The reason behind this is that we do not want to become reason for your device's losses. Using CPU frequency at high level (2.0GHz) is very dangerous and it could damage your device.

These damages are not readily visible but on a long run they might affect your device's hardware.

And we don't think that its worth to OC at high frequency levels at the cost of your device.​

Note2:

OC cpu frequency at 2.0 GHz is not stable on STOCK ROM or Andro-ID, atleast thats the case with my device.

But I could atleast use it for a minute or so on MIUI ROM. So you can use MIUI if you want to OC upto 2.0GHz for show off purpose ;)​

Note3:

I want all of you to test and give me feedback about fix for multi-touch axis inversion. As I have mentioned it is still in experimental stage. And I need to fix some parameters by trial and error. So need your inputs.

Thanx! :)

​

Note4:

If you do not want to use UC-kernel bootlogo as splash image then remove splash.img file from /splash folder present in update zip before installing UC kernel. If you have already installed UC kernel v5 then your original splash.img is backed up in /sdcard/UCbackup folder. You can restore it using this Revert_splash update zip.

May be me too :P
[Huawei Ideos X6] blackode:
Hmm... may i know what the latest update do? What they add in to our phone...
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
i am waiting for cm7 build based kernal...
[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
one question

hi

i dont want to overclock or any thing

i just want a stable official ROM i do know that this will work on my rooted off 2.3.4

i just want to know if by using this kernal ill get a little stability on the phone ie none of the various screen problems:confused:

thanks in advance:)
[Huawei Ideos X6] Napstar:
CPU governors:

Helps in efficient ramping up/down of CPU speed as per demand of CPU load.

They differ mostly in the way the ramping speeds are defined. (Dynamic or constant value)

SmartassV2, interactiveX and SavagedZen are built on interactive governor which suits for high CPU performance with reduced battery drain.

SmartassV2 dynamically sets the ramping speed around a set ideal CPU freq (768MHz) in wake mode and minimum ideal CPU freq (248MHz) in sleep mode. It will try to maintain CPU freq around these set ideal limits. So no need to use any other SetCPU profiles.

IOScheduler:

It tries to distribute bandwidth among all processes according to their weights.

Basically, efficient control of work load distribution over various background running application.

BFQ is based on CFQ. (I dont know much details about any of them. And there is no point in providing technical information.)

In my opinion VR is better.

Check yourself which combination suits you perfect based on overall performance (use different benchmark apps) or battery life. :)
[Huawei Ideos X6] Napstar:
I can not guarantee about stability on your device as every device is different though sharing same manufacturer.

But I have never faced any stability problem on my device except when I had reduced voltage to a greater extent at higher frequencies, which made it to reboot.

To prevent such problems while setting or playing with CPU related tweaks DO NOT SET ON BOOT option in the apps unless you are very sure about the setting.

By not selecting ob boot you will be atleast sure that the settings will be reseted to default after reboot.

On other note, you dont need to overclock always, you can underclock too. Or for that matter undervolt too for better battery life.

Nonetheless using CPU governors and IOSched makes life great for the device. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
hi

thanks what i meant by stability is not getting that screen going crazy some times problem,anyway ill try this on my rooted 2.3.4 and keep u posted on the same:)
[Huawei Ideos X6] yashwantsingh:
I want to get best battery life on this device. i have installed latest kernal,

so pls help what i have to do to get more battery life in detail, because i dont know

much about clocking the device.

so pls help me out.

thx in advanced.
[Huawei Ideos X6] DooMLoRD:
Use incredicontrol app and undervolt to -50mV all... If thays stable then try -75mV all..etc..

the crazy screen thing is cause of using high frequencies for long times...

ur devices will work great at 1.2Ghz... even 1.5Ghz is good... but anything above that depends on ur device...
[Huawei Ideos X6] ashy:
hi DooMLoRD, remember me? in last posts of v02 thread I mentioned my undervolting miracle...

today I tried the performance governer as you suggested, but the phone freezes on startup & restart once SetCPU & IncrediControl gain super user permission, the setting is 1.5GHz @ 0.75v...

for the phone to boot up stably with performance governer @ 1.5GHz it needs 1.125v...

however, if I use on-demand governer (0% powersave bias - meaning it stays @ 1.5GHz 99%~100% of the time, checked with SetCPU), it is fine, I can play 3D games, loop Quadrant benchmark, run more than 30min of SetCPU stress test without a problem... camera works fine....

based on your experience... can the setting be considered stable?..... like.... something in the boot procedure stresses the phone extraordinarily?? lol?

p/s: for 1.6GHz & above, even with on-demand governer, the phone will need significantly more than 0.75v for the clockspeed to even be applied (scale pulling... it freezes there), I forgot how much, but definitely more than 1v

many thanks for your input!!!
[Huawei Ideos X6] blackode:
My phone can go smoothly on 1.6ghz at -75v with smartassv2 governor.... i tried -100v but its was an unsuccessful try since it hangs and shut off...
[Huawei Ideos X6] yashwantsingh:
I have installed incredicontrol and setcpu.

but i am not getting it how to undervolt using this can someone can explain it to me in more detialed way and pic may help

thx in adv.
[Huawei Ideos X6] ashy:
1. slide SetCPU max clock speed (but slowly work your way up)...

2. set governer to "performance" (default is on-demand)

3. apply (don't set on boot, yet)

4. in IncrediControl, decrease voltage of the max clock set in SetCPU, initially you may work with larger decrement... like 100mv....

5. apply (don't set on boot also.. just yet)

6. test stability by playing games, record video with camcorder app, run the Stress Test in SetCPU, loop Quadrant benchmark

7. repeat step 4 but decrease decrement

8. revert to previous voltage if current voltage is unstable (write it down, to be applied later with "Set on Boot")

9. repeat step 1

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

I have done a quick test on battery life & temperature for reference...:

Parameters:

- 1.5GHz

- Performance governer

- 30 minutes of GT Racing Motor Academy HD (just left it there... lol... to avoid inconsistency)

- Discharged from freshly charged 100% battery

- Constant ambient temperature & screen brightness

Result:********************Discharge***********Battery Temp.

- 1.3v stock******************-10%***************37 deg. Celsius

- 0.75v undervolted***********- 8%*****************35.8 deg. Celsius
[Huawei Ideos X6] DooMLoRD:
This is not recommended.... keep the decrements VERY small... ideally decrease 25mV at a time...

Also the best stress test is to use multiple runs of LINPACK/BenchmarkPI
[Huawei Ideos X6] snowcloud:
what is the default clockspeed at startup???
[Huawei Ideos X6] DooMLoRD:
1Ghz max, 245Mhz min
[Huawei Ideos X6] ashy:
sorry sorry, it was a huge mistake, I was about to type 50mv, then I added the "larger decrement" line, I wanted to change to 100mv but typo 500mv instead LOL, sorry......... but you're definitely right, if we have the patience we should just go by -25mv

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

1 more observation (no systematic proof though...)

my phone's signal reception is MUCH STRONGER with the processor undervolted, I'm on full bar most of the time now, whereas previously it would be 2-notch, sometimes none...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
ANYONE USING THIS BAD@$$ ROM, YOU'RE INPUT IS VALUABLE.

It seems some are having the problem and some are not. I think for a community as strong as we are, it should NOT be too hard to figure this out.

**If you are having battery issues, please post anything you have done to you're phone that is not standard in the ROM. (i.e. Apps you've downed, mods you have done, etc)

**If you are not having issues, look over these lists and verify, by saying "Nope, it's not that app/mod because I've done that and am not having issues"

Just to set a standard, if you are seeing 12-18 hours on standard battery with moderate to high usage, you are NOT having a battery issue... This device is dual core, 4g, miniature computing giant.

If you, like many of us, are seeing >10% an hour with no usage (i.e. Battery dead in 7-9 hours), you do have a battery issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
I am having the problem.

My list;

Google music beta

Stock hotspot database hack

Titanium back up

Ever note

xScope browser

Edit, I'm on 1.4 and have done the battery calibrations.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AJMetal87:
Contributing

I'm experiencing this issue as well. I am running UNL3ASH3D v1.4 with the following modifications:

BLACK SWYPE/GMAIL (although the black gmail didn't work with mod like it did with v1.3. Swype is black though and working just fine. just a side note.)

I've reflashed v1.4 at 100% battery after wiping cache, dalvik, and system /system followed by a RESET of battery stats last night around 1am CST.

Hope this helps. I will try to follow this thread to contribute as much as I can.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docluv01:
I was getting 15% an hour on standby...But I ran the calibration, and now im getting 12 to 14 hours with normal usage.

I will say this to people...In the beginning, whenever I tried the calibration, it wouldn't do anything. After trying a few times, I noticed that after I did teh calibration, I had to wait about 2 to 3 days, til I noticed an increase in performance. Not sure if others saw this...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
I went back to debloated rom. My battery drain was bad on extended battery. Now its back to getting all day moderate to heavy use and still have 30% or so before nighttime charge.

Rom is sick dont get me wrong. Something is just not right with the battery stat.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Htimez2:
I have the battery issue

I have the battery issue and the only apps I have that would maybe affect it would be juice defender (which I thought would improve battery life if anything) and chainfire 3d. Those are the only apps that I have that I would think are an issue. I only get maybe 6-8 hours of battery life and I am running Unleashed V1.4.

P.S. Geezer I don't think everyone has to have those exact settings to get a good battery life, not to mention no one wants to spend the time doing all that BS when its an issue with the ROM somehow because when flashed to stock ROM no problem.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
Why the battery issue only effects some.... No idea. I really believe it is a app that is not playing well that the ones having issues have in common.

I have been on stock for the day after the debacle last night, and it is the first time I had to use my car charger... Really I don't one. But.... a preventive measure is a battery script that I am adding to the init.d in 1.5. I am really hoping it helps those having the issue.

There are 3 things I have always accomplished in my ROMs ... Great battery life, zero lag, and fluidity. 2 out if 3 isn't bad.... But I want the trifecta. Lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dotson817:
Ha + 1I can't wait for the release!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
@Geezer; thanks fire posting all those tips. Many I had not thought of.

@th3ory; hopefully something will come from this thread that assists in development.

ANY OTHERS? The developer is obviously cognisant enough to monitor these threads and take consideration. Put in your two cents.

Is anyone using the corporate email app with an exchange account and having GOOD battery life?

Is anyone using 3dchainfire (or any of the others mentioned above) WITHOUT irregular battery drain?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
I installed the ice cream theme posted in the theme section and unl3ash3d 1.4 at relatively the same time.... I love the theme, but if that is causing battery issues it's gone.. My battery drains drastically now(down to 85% in an hour). when I was running1.3 with adw ex I was at 14hours heavy use...going to my nandroid to see what happens.

no other mods or apps..

I had the 100%-charge-to-dead-in-6-hours voodoo on me since v1.4 came out until last night. I factory reset, reinstalled and have been adding an app every few hours since this morning. As of now, I am getting FANTASTIC battery life...

I am currently at 19H 49M on the STOCK battery, with 31% remaining... That's with 6 of those hours running WI-FI, almost 4 hours of display time on. Yesterday I'd have charged three times for that many hours.

As of now, I've reinstalled the following apps:

RomManager

Titanium BU

GoLauncher

Beautiful Widgets

ES File Explorer

Handcent

K9

XDA Prem

Multiple GO Themes

All of these seem to be behaving pretty well together so far. I was going to add the extended battery tonight, but the results so far make me want to keep riding the wave one app at a time with the stock battery so that I can get an apples to apples comparison. Honestly, several of the apps I've already reinstalled are among those I considered likely culprits. If I can even APPROACH battery life in the long run such as I've experienced today I will be ecstatic.... LOVE THE ROM!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] casca_the_immortal:
Hey all, I am _NOT_ having a problem, getting 2 days out of mild use and 1 full day (18 - 20 hours) out of moderate use.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
Dood. This is really some great news. I still have the voodoo but I'm hopeful. I did the battery cal this afternoon at full charge and it's just now going fully dead. I was going to see how it worked out for a few days but looks like the ROM is being updated and I'll be flashing again tonight.

Do you have any apps frozen or removed?

How did you do the battery calibration? Does the factory reset include the stats?

I want to emulate what you have done.

Still curious about exchange accounts. Anyone NOT having a battery issue that uses a corporate email?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TeufelTexan:
I've not uninstalled or frozen ANYTHING - I've intentionally been minimizing any variables, hoping to isolate an app or app-combination which is delivering the hit.

My process was:

-Full factory reset.

-Flash v1.4 per DT's instructions (wipe cache/dalvik, format /system).

-Wiped Battery Stats via recovery

-Booted up (already charged to 100%), then unplugged and let her rip, installing

the apps listed above 1 at a time every couple of hours.

Haven't change anything else at this time. As far as battery calibration, all I've done is wiped stats and and letting it full discharge - so no real "calibration" to this point.

Can't help you with the exchange issue, only sync'ing 4 exchange accounts.

ETA: I realize that much of the wiping/formatting was redundant after the factory reset, but it only took a minute or two, and I wanted to start as clean as possible. I'm not entirely up to speed on the mechanics behind each element.

One thing I noticed was that prior to this my battery info screen showed a solid blue bar for "awake", it is now a nicely "dashed" line properly coinciding with actual time used.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] devanmc:
lots of apps but "always running" google music, WSJ, SMS popup, battery indicator, photobucket, advanced task killer

"mods" = root

extended battery, moterate usage = 70% in 3hours
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I have the problem, and it seems to have become worse since I recalibrated the battery (twice). I'm running UNL3ASH3D 1.4 (which I love, BTW) with no modifications or task killers. OFC, I haven't tried all the battery-maximizing tips listed by Geezer Squid, but IMO if you have to disable half the features of the phone to get a day's standby, something isn't right.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
Running Unleashed 1.5, fresh install, im down to about 85% after 20 minutes. Only installed ADW launcher EX
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I am back to stock deodexed. I'm going to recalibrate the battery, do a couple complete backups, and then try flashing 1.5 after completely wiping the device. Maybe the regular sequence (cache, Dalvik cache and /system) is not enough?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I did a one click restore back to bone stock (after factory wipe) rerooted and strapped then flashed 1.5 ran powerboost scripts restored all apps. Beat mine I'm at 86 percent after 7 hours! I would highly recommend the powerboost script for conservative cpu.

I am noticing absolutely no performance issues at I haven't once seen it lag. And it seems to really be helping.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zedomax:
no problem here, working fine, no weird battery problems, could be an app you installed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I was getting about 5hrs on a full charge but 1.5 and a radical rewipe saved me. Alot of time put into reregistering phone, restoring apps through titanium bu but if you really can't beat yours go extreme and spend the extra time to save the frustration.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cutoonie:
For The Record

I went through a obsessive compulsive disorder type format of everything, then installed 1.5 and then calibrated the battery to the best of my knowledge and...

Drum roll...

I am having amazing battery life. 8 hours and counting only used about 50% standard battery.

Thanks @DroidTh3ory for putting in the extra effort to solve a semi non existent problem. Could have been my phone or the ROM or the combo of ROM and app... But either way you were considerate of our battery issues and put in some tweaks

Very professional.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
What exactly did you guys do?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Thought this might be of interest:

After having beaucoup data loss and battery troubles on 1.5, I wiped cache, Dalvik, system and battery stats and reinstalled a stock/deodexed (Liberty) rom. Changed battery profile to performance and left it all night, then used as normal this morning. After 12:50 on battery, I still have 50% left. With UNL3ASH3D 1.5, I was lucky to get six hours, even after recalibrating battery twice.

BTW, all apps and such are the same. I did not wipe user data between installs.

I'm going to run this out today, then do a factory wipe and a full install of 1.5 again as one last test. I'll post my findings.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I did a full factory wipe from CWM back to bone stock did a one click stock restore just to be over sure since i already made crappy factory rewipe leap. Rerooted and strapped then did a system, cache, dalvik, battery (from full) wipe in CWM before installing 1.5 on a clean build (no apps) ran conservative battery script and then restored from tibu and I am now getting pretty amazing battery life it was idle over night last night and im on track for 20 hrs up right now. Soo much better it was so frustrating to pull my phone out of my pocket to see it had dropped 10 percent in less than hour while idling!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Did you have to go through any renaming to get the script to run? Or does it run properly when you're coming from a clean install like that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
Nope that was all I had to ( all ha) . It asked me to install busy box i just ran it from script manager with root checked and had no issues.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I would like to throw it out there that I did not lose any of my apps I was sure it was app related but since restoring from tibu I have all app data and everything. So not sure what he fixed but DT im talking to you great job buddy thanks for the fix even though it was a very hit and miss issue for people. I started to hate all the people talking about 25hrs battery uptime!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
Tentative success - used the one-click restore to put it back to stock, then rooted, wiped cache, data, dalvik, /system, cache, data, dalvik, installed 1.5, let it sit for a few minutes, then ran the script to install the power governor. Was able to work my crossword puzzles for 10 mins or so w/o any battery drain - usually, 10-15 minutes of use would knock my battery back 10% or so.
