[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
*I got the idea for this thread when I see people asking about battery life and what we all use. I don't expect anyone to be as specific as I am, but I'm sure there's a kick ass combination for every major rom out there. It could help the newbies get the best hacks for their phone.*

*If you're gonna post, we're gonna need screenshots and your full set up. Don't just say "I get 20 hours of battery life with this rom and this kernel." We want proof, people think those of us getting good battery life is crap. This is to help others, not a pissing match. Full phone stats with screenies or just enjoy the conversation. Thank you.*

Need to take a screenshot? Use ShootMe

Need the app to see the screen like in my screen shot? Use Battery Monitor Widget.

Both are free in the market.

This discussion is your set up and how good your battery life is. I'm going to include as much as possible for anyone who wants to mimic my set up or use it if they have the same apps. Screenshot included (taken 20 minutes ago, my phone is on the charger now).

Okay, check the screenie for time since last charge, battery left and usage.

Here we go:

Rom: Konikub Series Elite I

Kernel: MS79723's SBC #15 v7

Recovery: Ra Recovery (most recent)

Baseband, profile, PRI, PRL, etc all completely updated

4g is ALWAYS on unless low battery life turns it off.

GPS is only on when I need gmaps or to use Foursquare or other GPS related apps

WiFi is never on. 4g is faster than my home internet.

I don't use any battery scripts, battery hacks or battery improvement apps (to include task killers) unless they're already on the kernel or rom. If they are, I am unaware of them.

Check status updates

Make a couple of status updates

check email when there's email to check.

Whenever I'm on the phone, I get the task I want to do done then turn it back off. I rarely just turn it on and screw around.

I hope this helps people get better battery life. Any input on other roms and kernels would be greatly helpful for people.
