No (but that may be the case). I was merely saying that if they're running processes they can effect the battery. I have not checked the battery usage stats recently and can't remember what it shows. I keep an eye on things using apps like TasKiller and AutoKiller which are included in this rom.

FYI and FWIW...I have had my phone on all day. It was charged 100% this morning and after 8 hours of standby, emails and a little browsing my battery is at 93%. I think that's better than usual. I'd probably be at 75% by now.

GPS and wifi drain the battery quickly as others have mentioned. Anything that makes your phone try to connect to a network repeatedly also drains the battery big time like going into a tunnel, spending time on a train, etc.

i having an excellent battery life also, i recommending watchdog for watching apps that eating your battery: http://lifehacker.com/5608163/watchdog-monitors-your-android-for-run+away-processes
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] doni:
I'm watching what is running, have been using the same apps for ages now. Reverted back and forth to a back-up to a 2.1 sense ui that have been running for a while and all is good. I do have always on mobile data, weather bug in the background, pop mail set to check on the hour. I have wifi at work and stopped using it (just using edge) 'cause with wifi I can'make the work day (even with wifi on, set to never sleep, I usually get thru the day fine).

I always reset battery stats with new ROMs and do 2 full discharge cycles. I'm gonna run it a few more days as is and keep some stats. If still as is, I'd wipe and reinstall and keep a few days with no add-ons and see how it goes. It is not my work phone right now, ie even out of a battery not as big of an issue most of the time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Brillntred06:
I haven't had any issues with battery life. I took the phone off the charger around 6am (it's now 4pm) and I still have 97% left with my normal usage.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarHero:
Sorry for this newbie question... But if I flash version 2.1 over 2.0 I wont lose all my programs, contacts, files and etc.?:o

Great rom btw! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brent1148:
the rom is so fast and smooth :)

BUT battery consume fast too:eek:

I have the same widget with FroyoRider v2.0

so i guest widget isn't main battery problem reason.

I use radio 6.35.10.18 different from 6.35.16.19

is this keypoint?

I will try it later!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hey giant_rider

how is RC1 compared to RC0, would we benefit from any of the changes?

thanks for all the hard work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tafla:
I went from 10.18 to 16.19, and this is 3rd day I am running this ROM without charging battery. With previous radio (10.18) the battery was dead within 20 hours. So the radio really influences battery life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brent1148:
thanks for your answer very muchhhhhh!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Here is the list of some of the highlights of RC0 and RC1 from the CM team:

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/froyo/CHANGELOG.mkdn

Here is the list of the daily code changes / updates made to CM6 :

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/commits/froyo

FroyoRider v2.1 (RC1) contains all updates for the Dream/Sapphire made by the CM team before 14-Oct-2010.

FroyoRider v1.1 (RC0) contains all updates for the Dream/Sapphire made by the CM team before 02-Sept-2010.

Those are the differences made by the CM team.

We've also made changes on our end to the CM6 build for FroyoRider. Most are listed in the second post of this thread. FroyoRider v1.1 is available with both an earlier version of carz12/switch 2.6.34.2 kernel and Sanpei's 2.6.32 kernel. FroyoRider v2.1 uses 2.6.34.2 modded by Feeyo with updates to the kernel and rom that tweak performance and get the camera and video recording to mostly work which was not there before.

I hope that clarifies.

In short, if you're ok with some possible pain, I recommend upgrading.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andmic:
Hi,

Could you pls advise where did you got hold of the Radio: 6.35.16.19. I had been searching for the whole day but to no avail. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] themask3:
you can use radio switcher tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794450

giant, could you update the rom to the new cm 6.1, the one with the power control in the notification bar? or upload a zip file to flash the kernel with the camera over the cm 6.1 rom, tnx.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenwo1:
What's your usage like? Do you use 3G much? I'm on the same radio (16.19) and I'd be happy if I get over 24 hours without having to recharge.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] craycray:
Thanks for the full report.

But how can i sync with my outlook??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tuzz:
No no, it was just only for helping my developer brain to understand beter the changelog. Your Rom is IMHO the best rom around, and I keep using it from several months :-)

Keep up the good work :D

Anyone has advice on how to prolong battery life?

BTW: surprisingly my mass stoarage problem is solved - although I didn't change anything :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuMatos:
damn this rom IS fast.

but i'm so used to sense by now... i can't imagine what htc will be able to make with 2.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:

Lockups

Hey guys.

I am experiencing alot of lockups.

When I want to write an sms/mms

Recieving calls

And the most anoying bug, when taking my phone out of my pocket to use it I press menu to go from rest, and I only have backlight in my buttons, and I have to unplug the battery. :(:(

Apart from that it is a nice rom, but only 2,6 i Linpack :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
and you flashed froyorider? weird sounds like something went wrong i used my phone all day without those issues
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lele5800:
i have 4.01 in linpack.... in the first release i had 3,5...

if anyone want: i have changed the font and the lock/unlock sound easily...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Paul^^:
It's reeeeealy fast ! Thanks, keep it goin ! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Yes indeed, it is fast. Had 4.06 in Linpack this morning. Had no lockups at all so far. The only thing which worries me right now is that the battery seems to drain today. I have installed 2 new widgets today, I'll remove them one by another to find out if they are the root cause... will give you an update then
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ctalbot:
Any solution to the blank screen when playing videos (you can hear audio though)? This seems to happen on all 6.35 based ROMS for 32A devices....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evilfry:
u mean for HQ youtube right? yes same here, its a bug for now.

normal youtube is fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ctalbot:
Playing an .m4v video podcast file which plays fine with Cusorsense 1.2.6.1. I suppose it has do with HQ videos in general...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
sounds like a codec problem then

We need to give thanks to everyone who has and is helping including Sanpei, dferreira, Szusz, Switch33, Capychimp and for other people's work who we refer to like jubeh (32B), lfd (32B), and leonnib4 (Nexus). This is definitely a team effort.

AOSP from another topic (dferreira)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rhcp011235:
Was that for me? Dont know what AOSP means.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Yes, look in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704561

No one has created a dedicated thread yet for 32B or 32A 3.22 radio phones yet.

This thread is for 32A phones that are using the new 6.35 radio (see the first post).

AOSP is the stock, standard rom built by compiling Google's Android source code.

Try using Google to learn stuff. Google is our friend :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] markdexter:
i have a question in order to change my current SPL.

Do i have to run it through the ADB - If your radio starts with 6.35 type:

adb push C:\roottools\6.35Radio\hboot_2007_signed.zip /sdcard

I seem to have trouble doing it this way, getting cannot stat message.

or can i connect phone, in mass storage mode, drag and drop that file from the roottools folder on to my sdcard.

Then enter recovery mode, then unzip the file that way.

ADB SHELL is giving me trouble.

should i have at the cmd prompt. C"\roottools\windows - then type - adb push C:\roottools\6.35Radio\hboot_2007_signed.zip /sdcard

HTC_CIME

Is there anyway I can get the HTC_CIME to work in this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haircut:
Is it just me or the battery life for this one is worst than the previous release.

I'm down to 60% from full charge after 10 hours. With 2 calls less than 5 mins each, 5 sent texts and about 15-20 mins wifi surfing.

I'm using 6.35... .19 radio

Don't get me wrong. This is the best rom i've used. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. With the same usage from previous version it would only go down to 75%

*Edit: my battery just went down to 55% while typing this message from my phone :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
hey, I had similar problems with battery drain. it went down pretty fast. what I did to change this was to uninstall a lot of apps to see if that would help and yes, it did.

now I don't know which app is causing the drain but I uninstalled setcpu, autokiller, taskiller, k9-mail, facebook, twitter, animated weather, and probably some other stuff too, can't remember anymore.

anyway battery life improved dramatically after that so one of my apps was responsible for draining battery.

I guess you'll just have to uninstall some of yours and see when it improves. either uninstall a lot at once and then add them back step by step, always inspecting battery life, or take away one app at a time and check if battery life gets better.

this way we could maybe pinpoint which app(s) is/are responsible.

good luck,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] homerc:
I am quite interested in trying this great rom.

But before i do anything just wanna ask,

i heard that froyo is meant to be 3 times faster than 2.1, is this really true?

Coz i am currently using a 2.1 rom with sense and sometimes the phone lags some much it drives me crazy >_<

I am kinda hoping 2.2 would be a lot better ^^"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
2.2 is faster than 2.1 with sense, no question.

but i wouldn't say anything like "3 times"...

a rom with sense vs a rom without sense (both 2.1 for example) will be slower. just becuase sense uses more resources. for the slower sense you get eye candy though. so it's all about style vs speed. of course there will be many saying that their 2.1 sense-rom runs just as fast as a 2.2 non-sense rom, but i don't share that experience.

a non-sense rom can be styled nicely too though!

launcher pro, for example, has a few nice widgets that are sense-like (messaging, contacts, facebook, calender for example) and with fancy widget (for the weather+clock widget sense style), dialer one (for the smartdial like sense has it), music player pro or mixzing pro (both come with a 4x4 musicplayer widget and will look somewhat close to the sense music widget) you can turn a non-sense rom into a very nice (close to sense) looking rom. that's what i prefer after coming from 1.5/2.1 sense roms. of course i miss the overall style of the htc sense because it goes thru most of the apps and you really have the feeling that it's all one phone and that everything runs under one hood.

with a non-sense rom you'll have a calendar widget from launcher pro, the dialer one smartdialer, some musicplayer, etc. they all look great but still it feels like they're all seperate apps. with htc sense everything is one. i really like that feel.

but i also really want a 2.2 rom and even with 2.1 i wasn't very convinced with the sense roms. that's the reason i'm running a 2.2 non-sense rom and i love the speed and stability of them. i try to make it look like a sense rom with the mentioned apps and widgets and that's a good compromise i think.

try it out!

greetz,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I've read on some websites that tested those batteries to mostly be a scam...they never live up to their claims unfortunately.

The website that was reviewing them was saying that in most of the times you are getting less battery life that the stock ones...

Do you have a Mugen battery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
That's a bummer if true. I don't have one. I just read about them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Punsor:
Hey giant_rider, I registered today JUST to thank you for your work and effort on this rom. I was on the fence for a long time since many people were complaining about battery issues. I can say that the battery is great, maybe 30% used today with above average use.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to updates!

My Phone stats

Rogers HTC Magic

1.76.2007

Radio 6.35.16.19

Recovery is 1.6.2.img

Ive installed this ROM twice now over the last 3 days. First time I did my battery life was very poor, i went from 90% to 40% in a couple of hours with one phone call and 1 text!!! So i instantly removed it.

I went back to CLEAN MAGIC, which i get great battery life. I read a post on here, from yesterday, saying that when they installed this ROM (FROYORIDER V2.1) they removed some apps straight away.

I tried it last night, i reinstalled this ROM, by itself, without google apps. As soon as the ROM loaded up i removed a bunch of apps i wont use, i'll try to remember ( Taskiller, the live wallpapers, the brut maps, Spareparts,,etc) it seemed to help alot!!!

I installed system panel and started to monitoring at 9.45pm I had 45% battery at this point, this morning at 6.00am, i had 43% battery, so in 8 hrs it went down 2% with the system panel monitoring all night, also I didnt put on airplane mode either. Going to see how it goes today gonna give it a full charge soon.

BTW I flashed google apps later, the Tiny version.

I also wiped the battery stats in recovery before i installed the ROM the 2nd time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kapernando:
Why don't you use the built in battery use info to figure out which app is draining your battery?

My battery was draining fast too and went to Settings -> About Phone -> Battery Use and there I saw an app had used something like 30% of my battery even though I never used that app. It was 'say my name' I think.

I uninstalled it and I get great battery life now. The point is, you don't have to uninstall one by one to identify the problem app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
hey, thanx for the tip with the battery use (showing which apps/processes use the most power).

with me, "cell standby" usually has the most, somewhere around 30%. next up usually "display" with 20-25%. so that's already more than half.

is that ok?

when i'm asleep and when i'm not using the phone the battery drains around 2% per hour. compared to other roms and people using this rom my 2% are still a lot. someone above me just posted 4% loss over 8 or so hours. that's very good.

should "cell standby" and "display" be as high as mine is?

thx,

p.s. it says 5hours since unplugged and i hardly used the phone at all.

Battery drain by WiFi

Good work! This ROM is great except the battery drain with WiFi ON, does anyone know how to reduce the battery drain by WiFi?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] markdexter:
I agree with the Battery Drain issue. I thought i had fixed my problem, but today with my wifi turned on, i could see my battery going down 1% every 10seconds or so, went from 79% to 48% in about 5mins or so.

Ive had to remove and install RCmagic capy.v6.

Shame coz i love this ROM!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
getting worse here too: the last two nights when i went to sleep i had at least 30-50% battery. i wake up in the morning and the phone is dead. even missed my alarm...

hope this whole battery issue can be fixed somehow, cuz i really like the rom!

strange that only some people experience this problem and others here seem to have it working without probs.

hi, just wondering if you updating this rom to the new version of cm, and if you could tell me where i can find to download the feeyo kernel in a way i could flash it like carz12 kernel. tnx :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
I had the same problem with flight mode....Before sleep, I switched to that mode and in the morning phone was dead. But it's not related to battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wuhuan:
By the way,the flight mode battery-drain happened just after I upgraded my radio from 6.35.10.18 to 6.35.16.19

Today I find that with the 16.19 radio the battery drains much faster when you are using your phone.But if you just leave it alone,battery's fine.

So I decide to downgrade to 10.18 again to see whether it's a radio thing or not.

Since CM6.1-RC1 is out now, I wish to see FroyoRider updated soon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I found wiping battery stats when changing ROMs to play big role in my battery life. Not to say removing some power hungry apps and tuning the apps to not update that often (like every 15min or so) don't matter...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wuhuan:
You can try Radio 6.35.10.18

Just suggesting
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Not if you tried using the GPS fix Capy has posted, sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
There is no download to the finished feeyo kernel that is in an update.zip flashable file.

Try setting up any rom kitchen (link at the bottom of my first post to one kitchen). You can use most kitchen's to extract the kernel and create an update.zip file.

Is anybody else experiencing any battery issues? Seems to be a small number of us, it would be nice to know, this is a great ROM, if im doing something wrong or not flashing something i should, it would be great to know.

I am with Rogers and have a Magic+, SPL 1.76.2007 Radio 6.35.16.19. Same as Giant_Rider.

I was getting the same issues, as soon as I use the phone battery drains fast, If i just leave it in sleep mode, not too bad. Wifi, and calls drain battery fast.

Any Suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
In post # 1309 by Mrperfektone there is a link to the EU GPS fix. I guess that's the one you need. It worked for me with 2.0. I'm not sure if you should use asia or EU, but you can try them. I tried all of them and no crashes, but only luck with EU one for me, but I live wayyyy up north.

The link in utilities in post #2 is not referring to the EU one after what I could see.

giant_rider do you think you could arrange something with cappychimp to get it in with the other ones or a separate link for it maybe?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hey markdexter

I think more or less everyone has some battery issues with any ROM based on CM 6, so what I'd suggest you is to try manually or scheduled (although I haven't found the app to work for me...something like "Data on Demand") switch to 2G when you're not using a lot your cellphone

Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks->Use only 2G networks (check this)

I've got 1% battery usage in 7h...it's true over night with not much usage but everything works like Edge data speed, calls, sms, apps.
