I will try to attach the pics ASAP, for now I would say

Idle use, like overnight with only 2G and no data it consume 1% in 7-8 hrs

Day time idle use with wifi on, sync on, screen off, no calling, I get 1/2% to 1% per hr

With browser 3G or angry bird it dropped 15%-20% per hour.

I do not like to compare the total time on with light/moderate/heavy use because these are subjective and relative terms and often confuse.

Please Wipe Battery stats after Flashing and go through full charge discharge cycle at least twice before you should Assess or Comment on the battery performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iD4rK:
I use this ROM too, Just amazing. Never had any trouble with it.

My steps to install were:

1 - Backup Apps with mybackup.

2 - Odin only PDA, no repartition.

3 - Factory Reset (+ Deleted/Formatted Everything)

4 - Language English.

5 - Changed input method to Samsung Keypad to get rid of Chinese.

6 - Flash Speedmod Kernel K10i

7 - SuperOneClickv1.5.5

8 - Restore Apps & Data.

Enjoy a really good phone.

(Remember THIS IS ODEXED ROM, so not all .zip would work.

The one that gets downloaded from online kitchen is to be modified by replacing AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from the Original framework-res.apk into the cooked framework-res.apk for it to work. So be sure what you are doing.)

The attached here is

ready

to be flashed straight through recovery.

Attached also is the original framework-res.apk which may be flashed through recovery to revert.

I am not sure whether it matters but I flashed it on virgin (fresh flash) ROM.

This post would have served its purpose if few users are able to reap the benefit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topgnat:
Steps may wary, but I emphasize to reboot after installs. Aim was to give slightly elaborate method for safe install for people like me.LOL.

No need for step Super one click. For root, speed mod kernel recovery had option for root.

thanks topgnat, have been trying to update through Kies......Indicates battery insufficient even with 80%.....Will try again once I am at home

Frustrated with the force closes on JP6
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topgnat:
Though it may be updated through kies, I would recommend you to follow the steps in first post. This would ensure 'clean' install which would ensure trouble free performance. Through kies it would not result in full wipe and may bring with it 'errors' to your new system.

Think about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg465x:
So this is also a 2.2.1 release like JPU? Someone post a screenshot that proves it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topgnat:
Please Note

I have no where suggested that this is 2.2.1.

The title clearly says "best 2.2 rom".

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dingdonghei:
Then you really shouldn't claim it's everything jpu is, and bug free at that. JPU is 2.2.1. And the jpu bugs you are reporting have not been a problem for me, I'm on docs ultra slim.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dabrai_sid:
relax dude, hes simply stating an opinion and comparison is clearly given on first page..if the jpu bugs havent affected you they might have affected others, so i think its nice that there is another option out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dingdonghei:
Lol, it was not my intention to flame the guy, and I was pretty neutral in my wording, but it has to be allowed to clarify statements that are stated categorically and simply aren't correct. Even if bugs are a problem for some people, this thread gives the impression that they are pretty universal for the jpu, and that just isn't so. Also the fact that this isn't 2.2.1 is a fair thing to point out, if you ask me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg465x:
People often refer to Froyo as 2.2 regardless of whether it's 2.2 or 2.2.1. I figured it was only 2.2, but the fact that you were making direct comparisons to JPU had me wondering.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
I am a Sprint Hero user looking for a phone for my dad who is on Cellular South. He needs a device with a hardware keyboard and these are the ones listed that fit his needs:

LG Axis

Motorola Milestone

BlackBerry Bold

https://www.cellularsouth.com/holidays_2010/#tab6

I suggested he get a android. He will not be rooting it etc. Just a regular user. In regards to the Androids, would you suggest the LG Axis or the Motorola Milestone? I am guessing the Milestone is exactly the same as the Motorola Droid? I can't find the LG Axis on phonescoop.com so was just wondering what others would suggest would be a better device? He knows how to use a BlackBerry but I'd rather him get a android device just because of how much more it can do in regards to apps etc.

Thoughts? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.

Thanks in advance.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.

What folder is it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally. ;)

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?

If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.

How much space do you have left on your card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Do you hook your "Droid" up to the PC? I've been switching back to WM before connecting to my PC. Didn't want to mess up ActiveSync capabilities with WM.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.

The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?

The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
3.5gb of 16gb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.

Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.

I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?

Another question (since I have your attention ;)); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?

Thanks again.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I was doing a restore, but then deleting the damaged folder. I'll try leaving it on.

I think I should just buy another 16gb card and use it exclusively for the Android stuff.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.

I've never been a big playlist fan, so I can't talk from experience.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
hey,

I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.

however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.

last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy) ;)

can only buy from there sight tho.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
Maybe you could even get some apps which will do what you need on the android system so you wont have to change back to WM again...that could be a possibility.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
WeatherPanel is the issue for me too. I'll reinstall it to the main memory and see what happens. Thanks for your reply.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.

I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.

Thanks.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
Don't worry that's what we are all here for, and if someone is wrong that person will be corrected so everyone is always learning.

TBH I personally have issues with WM6.5 and would drop it asap, the best way to go is to spend maybe 1-2hours sorting it then you wont have to worry again, that's just me though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Starting Android

OK, this may be a really stupid question :o but should CLRCAD.exe be run EACH time I start Android from WM or JUST THE FIRST time I run the particular version?

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Every time. It resolves issues with sound in Android (I believe that's all it does), and then haret to run Android.

If you get yourself a bootloader then it will run both apps for you at the click of a button.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
I have been wondering, what is the difference between a "Radio" for the Desire against an "RIL".

All along, coming in and out of ROMs, the dev's suggestion would always be to "flash the suggested radio" - for what could be observed as the best battery life, as well as getting certain things to work (camera, etc).

And all of a sudden, suddenly I begin to see things involving "RIL"s. Case point: here, and here here where there is flashing the RIL along side the radio. (for better battery etc).

So I need to know (just for curiosity's sake, I want to learn more): whats the difference between a radio, something that I've always thought influences the phones hardware and signal (which also means battery consumption); and RILs? which based on Wikipedia (maybe not the most reliable source) says that;-

Or have I been oblivious to the fact that RILs have been packaged in the Radio zips/imgs all along? (for example: 5.11.05.27 radio with 5.11.05.27 RIL)

If so, what would happen if I flashed a different RIL version on top of a different radio version? (example: 5.11.05.27 radio with 5.11.05.14 RIL)?

Thanks for taking the time to read this wall of text!

Le bump.

Still curious. Would like a more professional opinion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Probably the last time I'm going to bump this.

It is amazing how people reply to threads where the OP has done almost zero research, while in threads like these I make an effort to understand more about what I'm doing, instead of being a "follower" and get 0 replies. :o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fllash:
A Radio stores the low level firmware for the desire's hardware (display, wifi, bluetooth, and everything else). Newer Radios contain newer firmware.

A RIL is like a driver pack that is optimized to work with a specific radio. So if you are running a certain Radio, say Radio XYZ, then for the best performance (ie wifi signal strength, battery life, raw performance), you would want the corresponding RIL (which would happen to be the RIL for XYZ.

Running a specific Radio's RIL is not necessary, but recommended.

A word on bumping - There are lots of knowledgable people here on XDA; perhaps it is unwise to 'diss' them simply because you haven't received a reply in under a day. Relax, someone will always answer your question, except (in the case of this thread) when the question being asked has been answered before, multiple times (i know this as i have answered it myself a couple of times).

However, a quick google wasen't too fruitful, so it is understandable that you posted this question.

Josh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Yes, I'm sorry, I'm venting a bit, not dissing (hopefully). But it's been about 2 days lol (GMT?).

Thank you for not ripping out my jugular, Josh :) And thank you for your answer.

Anyway, if an RIL should be used as a facilitating piece of software/driver to complement Radios - like peanut butter & jelly - to further increase it's performance, how come not a lot (based on major custom ROM threads? I've only seen a couple) of emphasis is placed on using a complementing RIL with its Radio?

Also, Radios seem to be more readily available on xda (a plethora of versions) as compared to RILs (have only seen one).

Wouldn't hosting RILs on xda also drastically reduce users' complaints for "oh no, my battery life is horrible"? Or is the real situation actually more complicated than that?

Unless RILs are actually in together with the Radio .img? (which might render some user's advice of flashing a complementing RIL to its radio a bit redundant)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
I remember seeing this trustworthy post from Lennyuk

And also this from Daelyn, in response to what is RIL

So in my opinion don't mess with RILs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Duly noted.

Now, this will be something interesting to poke around with when I have the time... :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Be careful, as you probably understood, there is a significant chance to kill your phone by playing with the radio and RIL.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aidfarh:
On the other hand, RIL flashes can be easily be reversed by restoring to a nandroid backup. Thus, doesn't this make flashing RILS less risky than flashing radios? Why the dire warning, then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
It's true that flashing a RIL is less risky than flashing a radio.

But as pointed above flashing a RIL does not benefit you much, on the contrary it is likely to cause issues. I think there is no clear motive for doing it.

I am not trying to scare people, just want to make them aware of the consequences it could have, so they don't plunge into the more serious stuff without no knowledge and understanding.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamfender:
I'm not expecting it to be a DSLR. It takes pretty good pictures w/o the flash. The flash washes out the picture. The built in flashlight app has multiple levels of brightness, so there's no reason this can't be fixed in software, even if it is a hardware problem. Simply dialing the brightness of the flash down 30% or so would help immensely. I thought saw a setting for this in CM6.0, but didn't see it in CM6.1

Yeah, I'm afraid I might have to resort to that.
