Nice widget. :)

Seems to be working fine for me, maybe try removing widget and replacing again?

(I get down to very low %'s)

I can only assume that some other mod or app is constantly running in the background causing it to eat your battery. You have a live wallpaper running? They really suck the juice out of our phone.

Please confirm with cpu spy if your processor is really getting stuck at 600mHz.

Are you using compcache or swap? Both of these things will increase battery usage compared with not using them. (I'm not saying don't use them, I use compcache, just informing you that they do use a little more juice.)

On stock kernel I have done many tests about No-op vs Deadline IO schedulers and all tests are really

inconclusive

on my hardware(phone+sd-card combo). Deadline is probably slightly better in terms of end-user feel as it is a slightly 'smarter' scheduler. It also seems to have slightly better read/write times(not by much). However having said that No-op is marked for use with flash memory(our NAND & SD-Cards) and it also uses less system resources to get the job done and for our little phone that is probably a good thing. If you or anyone else ever figures out which is nicer for our specific hardware (phone) let me know and I will set it as default.

For custom kernels I wish Alf would add support for SIO as that would definitely be the best for our phone imo.

Minfree values are basically the free RAM values that the kernel will kill off apps/processes.

Here is (from Google I presume, it is written in code on every android phone, thanks) more information about what the different titles means: (I do not necessarily agree with all of these statements btw)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOREGROUND_APP:1

This is the process running the current foreground app. We'd really rather not kill it!

VISIBLE_APP:2

This is a process only hosting activities that are visible to the user, so we'd prefer they don't disappear.

SECONDARY_SERVER:3

This is a process holding a secondary server -- killing it will not have much of an impact as far as the user is concerned.

HIDDEN_APP:4

This is a process only hosting activities that are not visible, so it can be killed without any disruption.

CONTENT_PROVIDER:5

This is a process with a content provider that does not have any clients attached to it. If it did have any clients, its adjustment would be the one for the highest-priority of those processes.

EMPTY_APP:6

This is a process without anything currently running in it. Definitely the first to go!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this in my opinion is not quite true to life but let me make it really easy, basically for more free RAM all the time(if that is what you want) try increasing the numbers for 4, 5 & 6 so that the auto-task killer will be more likely to kill off processes/tasks that you are not currently using. (This is what other ROM devs/chefs for the X8 love doing and telling everyone '99 free ram all the time' or some cr4p like this.) For greater multi-tasking (switching between lots of apps while wanting to keep the data/app from resetting/restarting) decrease the numbers for 4/5/6. However over time, sometimes decreasing these numbers can make the phone feel slower (more apps running in the background hogging cpu/ram usage is what is really happening). Do not touch 1/2/3 otherwise you will face force closes and less usability.

I think the values as they are set at stock are pretty good. Most people think the phone feels faster if they make 4/5/6 to large amounts (less running apps). This is probably true if you only ever do one thing at a time on your phone. I think it feels slower as switching between many apps will mean they have to restart all the time. It is just a different philosophy.

Any geeks reading this thinking 'that's not quite right!' Yes you are right, no need to flame me, I will not respond, I already know. But for the sake of K.I.S.S. and all intents and purposes it will do.

Also rly, I think we have the same fav. live wallpaper ;)

Please send me a link/s to your fav. D.art or other stuff you would like to see included. No promises but if I like it i'll include it. I really need a new splash screen & wallpaper for this ROM, however I am no graphic artist.

Sorry mate but I just do not have this problem. It definitely does NOT take any where near that time for the calling screen to come up. It's practically instant. What recovery did you install the ROM with? XRec or CWM? Did you wipe data before flashing?

<daddy_rhon>

Thanks mate! I have also got a hotfile mirror a couple pages back. I will make it a bit easier to find I think.

For now go to dsp manager=>Phone Speaker=>Enable Equalizer & Set everything between 5-6. You can now put it on max volume with no distortion.

GPS should take longer on the first lock, after that all locks should be stronger(more satellites) & quicker (AGPS).
