Battery drain

Hey guys once again i find my self in need of some help, I was running CM7 and needed a rom that was more stable and this is it but my 3500 mh battery is draining by 3 pm or so and for the life of me i can't figure why. I downloaded the PRI 1.77 for my evo but it didn't seem to make a difference. Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] .torrented:
try wiping battery stats... but when you do make sure you do it in the correct manor... search for it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
If you're using an extended battery, you might want to try using an SBC kernel. It will fill it up all the way. That's what I use for my 2600 mAh.

If you don't wanna use an SBC kernel, charge your battery until the green light comes on, unplug it and wait for it to go down to around 95, then plug it in and wait for it to turn green. Right when it turns green, reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rueben68:
I did that already and still no luck i just flashed PRI 1.90 to see if that helps if not i'm afraid i'm going to have to go back to CM7 (don't want to- I like this rom)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Don't flash PRI 1.90; it tends to cause wakelocks with non-stock kernels, especially if 1.77 works fine for you. Try Netarchy-Toastmod 4.3.2 CFS SBC sUV. Like I said, SBC charges your battery all the way up without fluctuating, and you don't have to bother with wiping battery stats. Plus kernels always take a day or two to sink in, so it might not be so awesome right away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dvpmike:
Hey what clock and date are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I am curious how long you have been back on RLS5. I have noticed when coming back to Sense, even to a nandroid, it is good to go through the process Fred mentioned and let my battery settle in again for a few days. Note I also still get a tad bit better battery life on RLS5 over CM7.

Looks like the ever so popular simi clock. I find myself coming back to it every once in a while, nice clean look, quite customizable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
love using the simi clock. so customizable. the dev listens to ideas and incorporates a lot of them...as much as i love flip clocks, they take up too much screen, and sometimes don't work with how i have my phone themed..i can customize the colors on simi clock to work with whatever my background is, too, but i tend to like darker backgrounds so white text looks rather nice and pops out at a quick glance.

think i am keeping the rosie like this. it looks rather nice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
It does look rather nice. I am very fond of text icons myself. I am using those icons as part of the theme I am making (slowly) for the z rom. Not sure what is taking me so long. I found a whole set of them here on xda and have made my own based on those. If you want other words, let me know and I can upload them. Eventually I will be making more Rosies based on the one I made yesterday with other words. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dvpmike:
thanks, it does look clean and nice
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
So I went back to the stock battery because it's more pocket friendly and I don't know if its the fact that I haven't used the battery in a while or if it's really that small, but I'm dropping like 2-3 percent a minute. No wakelocks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
thanks so much!!!

my only issue is finding out which kernels work with which ROMs..... im afraid i really dont know anything about kernels, would you mind giving me the lowdown?

btw, im looking for a kernel that works with CM7 and warm 2.2......

also, i want to spice up myns 2.2 a little, i find i am getting bored with it :|

so how do i create a theme for it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Unfortunately that's not very likely. Kernels are either Sense or AOSP, you usually can't mix and match. Every once in a while one may actually boot and work, but it isn't the best idea and most kernels are designed with that in mind, they are catered to one or the other.

These are the ones I mess with for each. It should say if the kernel is for Sense or AOSP, just be sure to check for the details on them.

Sense:

HTC#15/#17 - HTC's kernels are actually quite good, but I find that netarchy's are very similar with a bit better performance.

Netarchy - 4.3.4 is the latest, I typically flash this before I even boot most Sense stuff the first time.

Ziggy - has a new release out from the last few weeks, check his website.

CM7:

Stock - I am using this now, works great.

Tiamat - Popular, my phone ran a little sluggish with it, but haven't tried the more recent updates.

Savaged-Zen - Very popular as well, I have used them and been quite happy. (SBC thread - NoSBC thread)

Snap - Hasn't been updated for CM7, but once it goes final you will see development on their kernel pick up, always extremely popular.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkmx2000:
Does anyone know what font that is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
thanks so much!!! i really appreciate this!!!

now i kinda get ASOP and Sense..... i cant decide whether to go Myns 2.2, or CM7... right now i am running CM7 (build 35) and i am very happy with it... but i want my Sense widgets back..... and some of my Sense mods............ ahhhhhh, and i have to decide by wednesday, because i am going on a school trip (long bus ride) and i want MAX battery, and good performance............ hmmmmmmmmmmm what would you suggest?

EDIT: i am running Tiamat, and here is my benchmark....... looks pretty good, but it appears VERY volatile... i mean, sometimes i get HORRIBLE linpack and benchmark scores, other times, it looks like this (see pic)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkmx2000:
The notification tray on Myns WarmTwoPointTwo to me seems a little to dark, is there a way to revert it back to the stock notification tray? i just always have a problem seeing any alerts that come through for one when im outside and its bright out. Not like its much better with the stock one but atleast i can see the text.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
I would suggest Net's 4.3.4 less HAVS SBC kernel because for a long bus trip you will start with the initial full 100% charge instead of the immediate drop with non-SBC when you come off the charger. However, what I would really suggest is a spare battery.

Here is what I really found about all the kernel/ROM/battery life business in my tenure with the Evo since June 4, 2010. You have a super phone in your hand. Like a laptop, what you do with it determines your battery life. If you try to play Angry Birds, watch YouTube etc. and never turn off your screen and say your bus trip is hours long, your battery probably won't make it through the entire trip no matter what ROM/kernel combination you choose. Widgets, although they enhance the functionality of your phone and look pretty good are battery hogs and slowly insidiously suck life out of your battery. If I was going off charger for an extended period of time (like a long bus trip), I would make my phone as spartan as I could and disable sync for everything (along with a fully wall charged spare which also will start at 100% capacity). For my normal day to day (and I am just speaking about MY use) I readily have different charging stations around or at least have a USB cable at the ready so I can suck off the tit of a computer every now and then. My office is both inside and vehicle based so I use a charging car mount. That said, if I'm streaming music or using navigation with the SBC kernel on my phone, I will even unplug it from power every now and then to keep the phone from overheating because use + charging with SBC will make your phone hot. After a SBC kernel comes off 100%, there is NO difference with how it runs vs. a non-SBC kernel. They drop at the same rate. Long story short, what I consider good battery life and what you consider good are going to be entirely two different things. It has everything to do with knowing what battery intensive apps you are running, what sucks a battery like a person dying of thirst in the desert, widgets, syncing, roaming, signal strength etc. I've tried ASOP, Z ROMS, and Sense ROMS. Subjectively, I see very little variation between the lot of them except for how they actually run on my phone. So to conclude this mini rant, know your phone, what apps you are using, buy a cheap spare or two (use with caution with SBC kernels e.g. no simultaneous charging and heavy use), and enjoy your super phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
hahahahaha thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think i am going to go back to stock CM7 kernel for now, maybe i will switch over to myns 2.2 later in the trip (i have a nandroid) but i dont know how to get a hold of the stock CM7 nightly kernel............. any help??

and i do have a 5400 mAh splash intense battery pack, so im not tooooooo worried about not having any juice left!!!!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
if you are referring to my sreenshot. its the darkstar/coconut font from the OP post 1...its similar to stock myn's just a thicker and easier to read, droid sans(stock android font in post 1) is a tad bolder than darkstar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkmx2000:
Does anyone know what font is being used here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I can honestly say I haven't run a benchmark since about December. Just don't feel the need, if the phone is running fine and I don't experience any lag or slowdown with what I am trying to do some arbitrary number means nothing. Many of the benchmark apps are actually rather behind IMO, this is more when it comes to dual-core stuff, but I think in general they still only give you a broad idea of possible performance and not much that is relevant to real-life daily use. People that have the newest phones like to brag about how high their numbers are, but I can get through my day being just as, if not, more productive than they are...just my 2 cents.

I am running CM7 now, but if you are going on a trip I would probably suggest going with RLS5. I still have cm7 bug out and have to troubleshoot now and then, which is to be expected (though a lot of it user error on my part too :)). There has been a lot of talk about CM7 final soon, but there are still a handful of things on the evo side preventing that, namely GPS...

Not to turn this into a CM thread, but I am on the stock kernel with CM7-nightly 36 I think. Yesterday my screen on time was about 3 hours and I was at 12.5 hours total and went to bed with 40%. Woke up with like 35% and thus had 20 or so hours of total time before I charged it up full for today. I was quite surprised, best I have had on CM yet.

Just reflash the rom (nightly 35 that you were on? Or flash a newer one and update while your at it ;)) only wiping cache and dalvik, you'll get the stock kernel...

some of the font pack links are broken...mostly the older ones...its where i go to find different fonts. it has screen shots, so it will give you a good idea of what it will be like.

other than the darkstar font from the OP #1 and stock fonts(droid sans)

a few good ones are comfort sans(i think its called), helevitiker, ubuntu 10.10

[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I believe he said that it was the MattedBlues theme, in which case you'd be able to find the Themes and Apps section for the Evo. The Rosie appeared to be modded by tommytomatoe he said. I'm not sure if that wallpaper comes with the theme or if that is his own wallpaper.

background is from backgrounds app(don't use itanymore, prefer zedge now for backgrounds), darker backgrounds, black/white photos, and gray backgrounds i think work best with the theme.

the clock is simi clock off the market.

darkstar fonts from the OP1.

I changed the rosie slightly, transparent background, now. (see attached)

ok, so i went back to warm 2.2........... and i am thinking i am going to flash a ziggy kernel......... but i would like to know if anyone else is using them and what they think of it, how the battery life is, performance, etc...... i would also like to know what the difference between BFS and CFS is.... which one is better, etc...... AND is there a link to the kernel that i am running now (stock myns 2.2) kernel..... soooo, hellppp??
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
Awesome thanks for the info
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsxla:
I've ran the latest ziggy kernels bfs, cfs both causes random reboots and then not so random (installing apps / memory instance things) maybe older versions are more stable, report back with your own finding >=]
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
i see you are running netarchy toastmod kernel......... how is the performance/battery life on that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
each phoneis different, you should just try a kernel out for 2-3 days, if it works...then stay with it.

i have hit or miss issues with ziggys, great screen off battery life, barely would use any when asleep, but seemed to use more when running, but in the end was about the same netarchy's which i prefer and so does my phone. ziggys would get real laggy at times for me. for my phone and usage, a CFS more HAVS running a conserative governor thru setcpu(i don't use any profiles) i haven't found a huge difference in overall performance or battery life with smartass or conserative, they both even out in the long run.

i don't worry anymore about battery life, anyways. as long as it last when I am ou and about away from chargers, then its all good. I can get a solid 4-5 hours of active awake time over a 16 hour period off charger, most days, and since thats about all i am awake most days...thats what counts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrischoi:
What are you guys using for Excel documents?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsxla:
Running netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-nosbc-universal the battery life isn't so great (i even have a extended battery:rolleyes:). Today for example 7 hours down to 16 i suppose its average. I choose netarchy for the HDMI (which currently seems to be broken currently) , and its seems to be most stable kernel, no reboots. So i shall stick with netacrchy till ziggy fixes the bugs.

So true, on my g/fs phone which is HW4 ziggys most recent BFS would lag the hell out of the phone where as on mine HW2 it was blazing fast but again the BLOOODDY REBOOTS! And if you go to ziggy's site its not only a few that are having reboot issues. But yes its worth a try if you don't get any reboots for a few days you are good to go.

I was running the CM7 nightlies for a while, and while they were nice in the end I made my way back to Myn's. My signal strength (3G or 4G) was worse with CM7. Plus it's been nice to "settle" back into a ROM for a while. Loving Myn's - Sense + netarchy kernel!

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Your signal strength was likely not different. CM displays it differently, it shows your data where as Sense shows voice, or the other way around I always mix them up :). It always appears that you have better reception on Sense, but it doesn't mean you do, fwiw. The 4G strength on CM7 I think still is somewhat wonky, though it has improved especially up to final.

You are right about icons

They're incorporated into the apk and are not changeable without a bit of know-how
[EVO 4G Android Development] Joey_UFC:

Does any one if i can do this ^

i'm about to flash the rom and want a heads up first if i should do it or not
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
The icons are different then what the button calls up when you press it. Warm comes with rosiesettings which allows you to change the action of the button left and right. You can tell it to call up whatever app you want.

Also, not trying to be a jerk. But "deal breaker" type comments make you sound very unappreciative. Devs put in lots of time. If you don't want a rom then don't use it. If you want something done for a rom ask. :-)
