try team rom it has decent battery life and is very fast and responsive
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
Sound to me more like it your habit rather than ROM/Hardware :).

I wound't begin the debate here about ATK, but since your post doesn't provide any technical info. Let's try this..

> Seriously, stop using ATK.. it would just HIDE the real problems.

> Remove all unnecessary widget... clock, time, weather, photo, blah blah

> Wait for a few hour, is it significantly better?

> Remove some background-apps; viber, whatsapp, skype, trillion, imo, msg, brb, blah, blah, blah

> Wait for a few hour, is it better?

Well, it should... (definately :P)

Some geeks down here... skip it if you're lazy.

Actually, you will need to understand something that it's not really about ROM.

Most custom ROM provide you some 'minfree' tweak. Let's make it simple.

Case 1, minfree is 60MB (most custom ROMs)

> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 60MB.

> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 60MB.

Case 2, same thing with 30MB (Stock ROM)

> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 30MB.

> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 30MB.

So, using ATK means....you shot everything to pieces, and droid just recovers it back..

or.............................you and droid trying to shot everything down.....

doesn't sound useful.. does it?

ATK is then.. useless.. unless there are some legacy no brainer app eating CPU and tell droid that 'I'm busy doing my (stupid) job, go away and don't kill me'.

Alright, that's NOT the point about ATK.

My point is, if you having too much apps, beyond 'minfree' level, there is no way you can save the battery whether using ATK or droid itself.... ATK just hide it, and make it worse.

This is why most people get a decent battery life with stock, since it provides lowest minfree level (around simple 30MB), with a cost of system performance, which is one of the reason that stock one is the slowest one.

So, what you need to do is to adjust number of your running apps, close to the minfree level.

Or adjust the minfree level (autokiller memory optimizer?) to match your current usage.

So, all in all, if you're using custom ROMs, stop using ATK, uninstall any stupid apps till free memory is running around 60-80MB. This will give you 'optimal' (not best) battery life.

384MB is not decent enough for X10 to become a multitasking speedy beauty with decent battery life.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Try installing JuceDefender from the market. If after trying it for awhile you find an extreme difference in battery life then your problem is probably with one of your apps accessing Wifi / Wireless data all the time.

Another thing that could be causing it is if you're in a very low signal area. Where I used to work, I was lucky to get 12 hours out of my phone. Right now, it's been off the charger for 11.5 hrs and I'm down to 82%. In this case shutting of wifi and wireless data will help.

Sorry I can't offer any more suggestions. Good luck man.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonznumber1:
I use battery Dr. for killing tasks as it helps by doing calibration charges when you charge your phone from under 20%. So I get more battery life than I did with juice defender

Also I get full bars on an hsps network at both home and work
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadsnobest:
I agree, I use JiuceDefender and if you take the time to set all the profiles it will help alot. Service area signal is also a key to battery life. Also try Battery Calibration App from the market, it will reset your battery stats. Make sure and leave the app open untill battery charges to 100%. Then let battery go till phone shuts down and charge again to 100%, That has been the best fix for me, plus Wolfberak's 2.3 rom's.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonznumber1:
Ya using wolf note and I'm liking it.it's giving me my 3 days so I'm good.... I'd like to point out that juice defender as a few cool features but battery doctor seems to work better it has full cycle charging built in as well
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
[Q] Most Stable, most compatible, most feature filled ROM? <ABRUPTLY TERMINATED>

Hey guys,

I have a very quick question, I want to know a ROM that is most stable, that has a lot of tweaks within a tweak manager, cool effects and keeps ALL the Galaxy S II functions (Camera).

I've tried CM7.1, I guess it's a great ROM to replace old device's ROM, but there are many functions removed from the stock Samsung ROM (Task Manager when hold home) and the Camera app (most important for me).

I'm just looking for the most stable (least or no bugs), cool tweaks (CRT/Overglow effect/Overclocking) and one that keeps Camera app to the stock one.

Lastly, if I were to flash a custom ROM, would I be able to flash back my speedmod kernel?

Thanks all :)

Nicholas

p.s. I would also be very happy if it came with CWM5 :D

Its called SEARCH rom as question has been asked a million times and if you need to ask then you are not capable of using it .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Pity is that its wasting space and time bit like the OP .

My view is that if they ask that same question then they are incapable of flashing stuff and end up with a bricked phone .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Sorry, I know MANY ROMS out there, but I want to know by first hand experience about everyone's thoughts about many of the new ROMs and the most stable ones that recently came out. I just want people's opinions, and not a written guarantee on a forum post. I'm very sorry if I caused so much of a nuisance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
If you want people opinions, why dont you spend time reading through the threads of those particular roms, they will give you all the feedback you need....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
As I clearly stated before, I have flashed CM7.1 and have not bricked. I don't think I'm incapable of flashing, as I flashed many phones recently, and I made many USB jigs for my phone and my friend's phone, I'm not that kind of Android newbie as you think I am, I used MANY Android secondary phones in the past since Android 1.6, and I flashed many different kinds of ROMs on many other devices ever since.

This thread is only asking for NEW opinions on the latest ROMs for the Galaxy S II, I want to know through experience if you like it or not, if it's good to use and if it still retains complete factory functionality.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Amazing.......I actually would of thought people who actually value their time, would just write one word like "VillainROM" or "CM" or "Cognition" and then make it to be 10 chars in total.

I'm pissed just like him when I see the same carbon copied thread: "hello guys, because i am a very important person, i deserve special treatment and I want you all to find me the best rom, which fulfills the following requirements: x,y,z."

Come on... there's the forum, there are 100 similar threads open, read the descriptions, do something.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Well, it is a very generic and most commonly asked question as I checked around the forum, it would be best if a ROM list was stickied, so these types of questions would be eliminated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As opposed to actually opening dev section and reading what each custom rom does .

If you are to lazy to do that then you are flashing a rom with no understanding of what you are doing or why that = bricked phone newbies cries help post .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
True that JJE, I would hate when that happens - when people don't know what they're doing, brick their phones, and then start a new thread asking for help. I understand.

I took four whole days looking at this forum, through almost 200 threads thoroughly, but most people I presume want to do it immediately and want to know the best ROMs at that very moment.

But anyways, the thread I linked was stickied and was very helpful.

Thread Terminated guys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIncredibleMachine:
I'm a semi noob who has flashed a few ROMs and have read through alot of the threads in the developers forum trying to find the 'perfect' ROM for me. I'm currently running VillainRom 3.0. It works fine. However, I understand what the creator of the thread is looking for. I would also like to know what other people think is a great ROM and a brief explanation of why they like it. All the ROM threads in the development forum are full of people asking why this or that doesn't work or how do I fix this? I find it hard to find a reason to use any particular ROM from the information in those threads. To cut a long story short, why don't the elitist ROM wankers keep their comments out of these 'Best ROM' threads, even if it's been asked before, and let people who want to share information do so.

Oh yeah so VillainROM 2.5 and 3.0 are good ROMs. They've worked fine for me, and from what I've read of other ROMs I haven't been convinced to change yet.

[Acer Iconia A500] osmera:
I don't know if you can use japan.

I only saw two values

US

EU

But definitely you will not get any better result with your router.

In EU allowed channels are 1-13 in US it is only 1-11

I heard that in japan there is as well channel 14, but most of router does not know how to use it.

If you are able to connect to your router, change in build.prop does not do any difference for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
So your saying that most routers in Japan don't use the 14 channels, but what are you basing this on? Or are you just making assumptions?

Hi Guys,

First post. Nice meeting you.

I was using 2.3.3 Stock firmware with USB Tethering, everything was fine.

I then upgraded it to 2.3.5 (KI3) through Samsung KIES.

Then USB Tethering started to fail. my Windows 7 said there is no internet access (an "!" sign on the connection tray icon)

I then try reactivate this feature from phone, luckily after few attempts, it worked but the speed is very very slow compared to before, how slow?

slower than 56K MODEM!!!

I checked the connection on my galaxy S2 by watching youtube and browsing website! It is completely fine, very speedy! with 3MBps Dn and up speed using speedtest.

but it takes me like 2 minutes just to load a webpage using USB tethering..

Everything was fine before the upgrade.

Please help as I only have this connection, I have no other internet access!!!

[LG Thrill 4G] Tyqar:
So every single rom for any phone I've seen says to clear the dalvik and the cache (or maybe its just the "dalvik cache") but when I went from stock to Thriller, I forgot to, and nothing went wrong. In fact, all my settings and apps were all intact from the previous stock rom.

I've considered that the only other phone I'd done any flashing on was a backflip, without Apps2SD and maybe that's why all my apps and settings were intact, so that still leaves me with the question: why clear it?

This may be a noob-ish question, and I apologize. Thanks for any help!
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
If there are any compatibility issues between the apk dalvik cache of your previous rom and the apks on the new rom wiping dalvik clears the previous apks stored dalvik cache. In most cases you can flash without a problem. But I recommend wiping between rom flashes just to eliminate any potential problems. Flashing something like Thriller over the stock rom you can probably get away with not wiping anything since all the apks are essentially the same. Flashing kernels you don't need to wipe anything. When flashing a rom with a completely different firmware I recommend a full data wipe. Restoring recovery backups such as nandroid require no wiping at all.

Also, wiping dalvik shouldn't affect any of your settings.
[LG Thrill 4G] elfie:
+1

When switching ROM with different base apps, it is generally better to wipe caches than to get stuck in a boot loop, or having your apps and launcher FC on you. You never lose anything as the cache rebuilds itself on the next reboot, except maybe a few minutes ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
so, when i flashed thriller and followed the instructions, did I do a full wipe or not?
