[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Difference between nandroid and titanium is that supposedly u can use titanium to restore apps/data/system data after doing a data wipe before flashing roms. Nandroid will RESTORE u to the position u were at before flashing. U can't use it to get apps and data back after flashing a rom(theoretically u could restore just the data portion but doing that after flashing a new rom could create more problems) and I say supposedly because I have seen many problems, such as force closes and.etc., come from using titanium to restore datas after flashing. I personally don't see the need /use for it when if u just backup to google ur apps download automatically when u set up after flashing(if u chose that option)

A nandroid is EXTREMELY useful when it comes to bootlooping. If that ever happens to you after u have done something. And u have made a nandroid before whatever it was u did before bootlooping. And u had system recovery (bootstrap) installed. All u need to do is pull battery(to power down) and.plug ur phone in and wait for bootstrap to come up(since after installation of bootstrap charge only mode is hijacked) and restore the nandroid. Which saves u from having to sbf. Aldo nandroid is great for getting back to an exact set up u liked and wanted to be able to return to it at any point. Very useful thing to have.

The thing is that with stock the meter only changes every 10%...so readings can seem a bit different. I also thought I got "better" battery on stock until I stayed with it for about a week and wrote down and took screenshots of battery usage graph.

I have just compared those graphs to my graphs from almost a week on eclipse. All have pretty much the same HEAVY usage. And trust me...when I say heavy....its heavy(just look at my.post count...99 % of them were done using stock web browser. Along with surfing multiple web pages at the same time....and I have pretty weal 3g signal at home so I constantly switch between 3g/wifi all day long)

And after comparison I can say that I see almost the exact same amount of battery time on both stock, eclipse (and the couple days I ran liberty also) .when running roms some.of the days had a LOT better battery times due to.me having the data toggle in the pulldowns so I could kill data when I wanted to..which saves a few hours of battery every day when done often enough. But besides that they were nearly the same except for maybe an hour extra battery life(on roms as compared to stock) and I attribute that to bloat removal since there is less running to drain battery...

And im not trying to come off as a prick or argumentative with this post. Just stating what my findings have been. Everyone battery.life will be different than mine due to individual use and also the fact that it seems like every X2 is picky/different in its own way :eek:

But I do get ur point of the 1%mod causing slightly more drain due to its constant need to update/call to system...but I can't see it as having that much of a noticeable difference besides the fact that you can "see in real time" how quick your battery is really dropping.
