[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
Well, first of all you say flash a ROM to your phone, not flash your phone to a ROM.

That said, if you're looking for a close to stock experience, with a tweaked ROM you could try this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312240 . It was released yesterday and was the merge of two ROM proyects, both which I tried and liked. SO you will go risk free with that one.

I personally am on CM7 and like it over anything but it's not based on samsung firmware so there is a downside. For example you have to renounce to all samsung apps like the samsung camera which is great and polaris office (which was really bad for me), but besides that it's all great. CM7 is fastest than any samsung based ROM, smoother, etc... Just a little bit harder to flash it for the first time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Sorry, was not good english. I changed it.

I will look at that, I maybe found something else.

Is this a good, stable rom without much battery drain?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
I really don't know about that one. Anyway, trying it cannot do any harm, maybe you find yourself with a great ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Well you right. There are not so many roms for the S2. I hope some people with a S2 with custom rom can tell more about the roms and the kernels...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, it is a good rom but what kind of custom rom?

gives us what you are looking for and we can point you in the right direction.

Hello,

She is looking for a stable rom with low battery drain. She does not much with the phone. Sometimes little games, call, sms, whatsapp. She also like a nice design.

[Atrix 4G General] TreyChristopher:
I know I may have some of my facts wrong here, just correct me if I'm wrong.

Since Google bought out Motorola Mobility a while back, wouldn't it make more sense for them to be using Motorola for the "Nexus" phones? Why would they want to team up with Samsung to make something they could do themselves?
[Atrix 4G General] malfuncion:
Companies "bid" for the opportunity to make the nexus device. Google is afterall a corporate entity. Why would they want to screw themselves out of more money if it was there for the taking?

I do however think it will be better for Moto devices in the long run for updates..
[Atrix 4G General] xyrovice:
I've been wondering the same thing. Maybe Samsung's patented the curved display and Google's got a fetish for that?

Regardless, I'm itching to see a Moto nexus phone. Samsung left a bad taste in my mouth with the Captivate, HTC always seems to have some sort of screen/multitouch issue, SE seems like a specialty phone kind of manufacturer, LG? Eh, I probably wouldn't mind the Thrill/3D, but they have yet to prove themselves.

Motorola? I realize there was this tiff about the bootloader, but I'd rather have good, consistent build quality than a lot of other things.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
The deal has not yet gone through. Why don't people do any sort of research at all before asking questions? Shareholders are voting on November 17 if the acquisition will go through or not. Secondly, Google has stated many, many times that they will not touch MotoMobility at all. They only want the patents and will not make any changes to MotoMobility's business at all. Period. Also, Samsung makes high quality devices. There's a reason they've been chosen for 2 of the 3 Nexus devices and Moto has been chosen for none. Moto has sold 4.4 million total smartphones in each the last 2 quarters. Samsung sold 30 million devices in the last quarter alone including 10 million SGS2s without even debuting in the US, one of the largest smartphone markets in the world.
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
From my understanding, Google has not yet purchased Motorola Mobility. The Boards of Directors of both Motorola and Google have approved of the deal but there is a long procedure to be completed in order for this deal to actually go through.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14531859
[Atrix 4G General] TreyChristopher:
I don't really understand people, honestly. Motorola has always put out good quality, 100% working phones. The bootloader is unlockable if you want to mess with your phone, but something like a screen issue isn't fixable unless you get a new phone.

If Google isn't going to touch MotoMobility, then who is running the company? -.-
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
The same people who are running it today. No one is being fired. It was a purely patent acquisition. MotoMobility will remain as it is today. As for the bootloader, it is not unlockable unless something huge leaks. How many phones have had their bootloader unlocked since the OG Droid? 2. The Atrix and the Photon 4g, which is basically an atrix for Sprint. That's it.
[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
1. Google doesn't officially own Motorola Mobility Yet.

2. For those of you who think that google strictly bought Motorola for patents and are not going to take advantage of Owning the Cellular division and developing with motorola before other companies is on a cloud. Of course google isn't going to "admit" that they would do that cause that would cause a semi sorta monopoly so they "Say" they aren't going to do anything for plausible deniability. I mean really come on think about it...They Own a major manufacturer of cellphones and Just want Pantents....give me a break.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
You're absolutely delusional. Motorola is doing so much worse than the other Android manufacturers. They stand to lose a lot if they show any favoritism to Motorola. Samsung sold 30 million smartphones last quarter. HTC Sold 13 million. Motorola sold 4.4 million. Motorola is not a major seller of smartphones. Q2 rankings were apple, samsung, nokia, rim, htc, lg, motorola, huawei, zte, other. You have no idea how business works. Plausible deniability doesn't work here. It'll be as plain as day light if Google ever favors Moto.
[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
Dude seriously have you ever worked in a business and have any idea what goes on behind 99% of business's doors and the shady business that goes on? I mean seriously who is delusional thinking that motorola won't take advantage of being owned by google and vice versa. There would be a Major reason for Motorola to take advantage of that considering how bad they are doing in the market and of course it will be as quite as a mouse. Both sides would deny it until blue in the face but still won't stop either from taking advantage of each other. I mean hell just look at RIM or Apple or Android for that matter all of which are in some sort of lawsuit or another for infringement on this or that patent. Would be very easy to mask any favoritism at the moment with all the BS Lawsuits going on right now.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Yea, you definitely have no idea what you're talking about. Favoritism has nothing to do with lawsuits. They wouldn't be in trouble if they collaborated together. Fact of the matter is, HTC and Samsung already are on edge. They are being pressured from outside and within to switch away from Android as it is. Manufacturers that are cooperating with a software vendor do NOT want to compete with that same vendor on a hardware level. As you can see Android hardware manufacturers are not happy and I’m sure will be on the lookout for another mobile OS at the drop of a pin. Google would shoot themselves in the foot if they showed any signs of favoritism to Motorola. Face the facts. Google has little to gain from Motorola doing better at the expense of pissing off the far bigger Manufacturers of Android handsets. The only way Motorola can benefit from this merger is if Google favors Motorola other other manufacturers in regards to early source code access and preferential Nexus selection. Both of these would be painfully obvious to any other manufacturer.

Any hardware company (Motorola, Samsung, etc.) makes money by selling hardware, so they do not want to update software, they want to update hardware and use the new software as a selling point. Their ideologies already clash. Google wants to advance the Android ecosystem. Motorola simply wants a bigger share of that market.

The thing is, Google kind of had its hand forced in this. It's a fact that gets overlooked. Motorola basically started saying they were going to start suing the other manufacturers of Android. I don't know about you, but in my opinion that's a pretty ****ing bad thing for the ecosystem. This wasn't something Google thought of out of the blue. It's something that was honestly hoisted upon them. If they didn't stop Motorola, they would have started suing, other manufacturers would have started adopting WP7. Google doesn't want to lose its controlling grip over Android, and for good reason -- it's a money maker for them right now. By buying Motorola not only does it stop the potential for lawsuits against the other manufacturers, but it also stops the potential for Motorola to start producing WP7 phones as well. The patents were also a very sweet reason, but it wasn't the only reason.

Motorola was also threatening to create it's own private fork of android and it's own market a few months ago. Basically Motorola was looking to be bought. Apparently Microsoft was also interested.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
are you sitting on the board of directors of Google? no? do you have access to private information that pertains to Google's plans for Motorola? no? then i guess you have no clue what you're talking about and need to chill out. every single one of your posts is nothing but calling other people idiots and spouting information (without any hard evidence) about future events that people are just SPECULATING about. is it really that annoying to you for other people to have a conversation about possibilities?
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
It's called common sense and knowledge. Something 99% of this board apparently lacks. Google has stated MULTIPLE TIMES they won't favor Motorola over their other partners. Every single one of my posts has been backed up by hard numbers and articles. Name anything I have stated to be fact that hasn't been backed up with hard evidence. The person I am responding to insists that Motorola will somehow have backhanded deals with Google when it has been explicitly stated that there will be no benefit for Motorola over other manufacturers from this acquisition. Maybe if posters were somewhat intelligent, I wouldn't have to point out the multitudes of falsities, misinformation, and just straight up FUD they keep claiming.
[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
Sounds to me like you believe everything you read or what someone tells you. So if the President told you the only way to live was to jump off the Sears tower you would just blindly believe him and go jump off the Sears Tower even though common sense and logic would say wait if I do that I am dead. All I have been saying is Don't believe Everything someone tells you they will Do. Most corporations say One thing and do something completely different behind closed doors.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Way to use a straw man argument. And as I explained earlier. There is a tiny upside to Motorola doing well to a huge downside if they were to get caught red-handed. The risk vs reward is tremendously imbalanced. You'd have to have 0 sense of business if you'd take that risk. The only reason Google did this was to take patents for defense and to defend their partners from Motorola potentially suing them with those same patents they just bought. If you can't see that, there's no helping you.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I could care less "who" makes it, but how about a Nexus phone WITH EXT_SD support already?... :(

[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
My phone's battery will decrease down by 30 percent in a matter of an hour from it just being in my pocket, when I check what is using the battery it is cell standby. I have disabled all updating widgets and have turned off auto syncing yet this still happens. Is there any way to fix this?
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Possibly, it would help us help you if we knew what rom you were using tho.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
+1...also the radio that you are using
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
I am using MIUI, I was using Cynagon but the same issue was occuring with that ROM so I tried switching but it did not resolve the issue. Where would I go to check the radio?
[myTouch 4G General] NatsuDragneell:
I used this app of the market called battery defender it helps a lot !! An free

HTC Glacier - Vitrous Unity 2.39/Kernel V9 Unity (Overclocked1.4 Ghz)
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Does it protect against the cell standby draining problem? Because that is the only issue.
[myTouch 4G General] NatsuDragneell:
I thinks so it disconnect all networks activity when idling or standby it helps me I use it and during an eight hour school day I only lost five percent battery while my phone was just sitting in my pocket u can also use setcpu to underclock/volt your phone when the screen is off to save battery hope this help if so slide down to the thanx Button ;)

[myTouch 4G General] The Swiftman:
You're not the only one. Over the past few days something has defiantly changed. Cell standby has been extremely high. It's currently sitting at 57%, followed by Phone idle at 24%, WiFi at 9%, and then Android System and Display at only 2%.

ROM: Newest MIUIAndroid (NOT TDJ's)

Radio: Stock
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
I have tried everything to fix this issue but nothing seems to work. Maybe its the radio?
[myTouch 4G General] zwindschz:
watch out there have been more than a few instances were t-mobile network has been messing up and will trash your battery.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
FYI, Cell Standby is usually on the top of the list for MIUI and AOSP builds for consuming the battery. its perfectly normal. but 30% in an hour?? could be your radio, OC too high, rogue apps, etc... radio thread is in my sig
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Its more than likely an app unless you have it overclocked really high.

If you recently installed a new app try uninstalling it and seeing if you get better battery life.

Sent from my Google Nexus 12... yep I'm from the future where Apple is no more!
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Im pretty sure its not a new app because I had this same issue with Cynagon MOD and I did a fresh install of MIUI.
[myTouch 4G General] NatsuDragneell:
Try the battery defender app i suggest this may help or u can also try to recalibrate your battery using the calibration app on the market

HTC Glacier - Virtuous Unity 2.39/Kernel V9 Unity (Main Overclocked - 1.4 Ghz-932Ghz)
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
well since its not an app we can cross that out. what are your OC settings with setcpu? or are you even overclocked? and which radio are you on? (forgot how to check on MIUI, but for sense its Menu>Settings>About phone>Software information>More>Baseband version) try looking under the System tab for "about phone" or "phone information"
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Could be an old app then. Since its on two different roms I am almost certain its an app. Assuming your not overclocked. None of our radios drain the battery so it's Def not that.

Sent from my Google Nexus 12... yep I'm from the future where Apple is no more!
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Setcpu is set for "smart-ass" and at 902 max, 122 min. I baseband version is "12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M"
[myTouch 4G General] The Swiftman:
^ Basically the same as mine, just I'm using MIUIAndroid instead of MIUI.US. Cell standby is currently using 39% of my battery and the change in battery performance has been very noticeable. Should I maybe try one of the new radios?
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
I just flashed the newest radio listed here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059347 I'm hoping that it will improve battery life.
[myTouch 4G General] The Swiftman:
Any luck with the new radio?
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Yes I actually had have luck with a new radio I am using the panache one and it seems to have greatly improved battery life. I also flashed a new rom, and that improved battery life even more. I'm using darksense right now.
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Bought a 3500 mAh battery and had same problems.. Pananche radio didn't help.. Solutions?

[HTC Desire S] experthandy:
Hi all,

So I have the: Runny S can RCMix3d v1.5.1 [Official Runnymede Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] on my Desire S installiert.Ich say only: 1a ...

Only thing that bothers me is that he uses too much system memory + memory.

Now I would like to know: Which Rome you have it and what the needs of the less memory?

But it should at least be as good as mentioned above.

Android 2.3.5 + Sense 3.5 and everything should work.

I thank you for your response.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Well that's the problem with sense. I haven't tried out many sense roms so can't give you a good choice but the best option would be to get rid of sense.

Also please post in general
[HTC Desire S] mihaibuda:
With a Sense rom you have about 100-150MB RAM free (may vary on how many apps you have instaled) and on non-sense roms, like CyanogenMod 7.1 i have 350-400MB RAM free (with 140 apps installed. Without apps probably over 450MB Free.)

Hope this helps you.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Lol at people thinking having more free RAM is a good thing.

Also this section isn't for posting stupid questions.
[HTC Desire S] knipp21:
The more free RAM the better the phone can multi task...
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Wrrrrrrong, android uses more ram to ensure frequently used data is quickly accessible, e.g. system resources.
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Thought we are in the dev. section?

What is the need of free ram? Do you have any problems with your rom? For me, and not generally speaking, the only think that counts is how the rom "feels". I definetly like the usability of sense, the widgets, the integration of data in contacts etc.

I use LBC though I tried different roms in the past few weeks. And it feels smooth.

If you think you need more free memory feel free to use a non-sense (doesn't that sound nice) custom rom like MIUI or CM. They are very good indeed.
[HTC Desire S] knipp21:
Ok so all hat lag on my old Eris (hero) wasn't because I was out of ram? (Wasn't processor either...I was running aosp)

I agree that most of the time it doesn't matter..but there are cases when I've tried running a game and it locked up (to kill the rosie in sense) cause I needed more RAM and Linux had to go get it lol.
