What are folks using in WM6 for a battery meter on the today screen? Seems like Batti went out of favor due to some potential memory leak issues, and I am looking for a replacement (small) app to quickly let me know how I am doing on battery life.
Anyone have a today screen plugin they like?
I use the O2plus battery meter - I did like Batti though (but had the memory issues)

I use LVM top battery as well. No options, but, hey,... How many options do you need for a simple meter? Think small app.!
I use SPB pocket plus for the battery meter, as well as other meters, and easy shortcuts right from my today screen.

whats good about this is you can see the drain on your batt. turn on your brightness and you see your Amper rising.
it`s light and you can see:
1. CPU load.
2. Batt bar.
3. batt. temp(important to know before she explodes
4. Current drain on the device
Wheee

Its nice, not that simple though.
anyone figure out how to make the battery meter not go by 10% increments...?

I was searching for an answer to this exact issue, when I found your post. I have the same issue with version 1.04.203 beta4, build 0218.
FWIW, WisBar Lite also has a battery meter similar to batti. It's pretty configurable (colors, segments). I've used it, but right now I use the one in SPB PocketPlus. Neither of these is free (WBLite is $4.95, though, so it's almost free), but each comes with some other nice usability features that, IMO, are worth the price.

Hello all..
I'm a new HTC Diamond user, and after a 2-3 days of installing and removing all kind of roms i decided that someone should post a thread with the fastest ROMS for diamond.
as we know the HTC Diamond suffer from low battery and low ram...
i saw alot of new topid that users request fast roms...
so for me and other users (as i read in this forum) that want their phone to work fast, I'm making this thread.
So if you are looking to the fastest Rom with low RAM/Memory consuption and good battery life... you are in the right place!
so i'm starting a new table of a very fast roms..
any help from you users will be very greatful!
So this is the list so far..
All data taken from the actual thread od the roms creators..
Please get a look on the attach image Roms.gif
new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages, so i'm unable to show it in this post only to attach i.
Any help with DATA or other good roms will be more then welcome!
Please help us the new ones to start easly!
btw! anyone who need help with installin groms please P.M me
I have original ROM with TOuchFlo3D disabled, running some today screen plugins (Date, East Today Launcher, EffComm, Device Lock)
WM 6.1
Free memory: 107 Mb
Free RAM after Boot-up: 44%
Battery drain after Boot-up: 63 mA
Free RAM after Standby Wake-up: 45%
Battery drain after Standby Wake-up:33 mA
All radios turned off (cell, gps, wifi, bluetooth).
Switch on when needed (via Today plugin EffComm)
donsalari's WM 6.1 SuperLite Titanium Version Two seems very interesting. I'd like to try it out, but I don't like installing all apps again.

can you post a link to this ROM that you are using?
i will check it out and add it to the list
btw. Thanks for the info!
I'm using the SBS6.5S ROM... and i got to say...
It's really 48-50% RAM
but when i open apps the RAM goes to 70-80 even 90 and when i close it it's go back to 50%..
i will check more to give a better review
I'd have to go with Atlas, it feels very fast.

Well, actually it is the factory default rom, that was already inside my phone when i bought it.
It is normal when RAM goes up while using applications but during standby and after wakeup is the value that counts. I would definitley install a rom which has RAM usage like 35-36 %.
In your updates about new ROMs, it would be great when you post also "Current Battery Drain Value" - the bigger the value is, the faster battery will empty.
In my today screen there is instead of the original battery logo 3 values which show battery PERCENTAGE, Battery Drain Value in mA, and battery TEMPERATURE.

Fastest rom???
You write in your title: "The Fastest Rom List". But whre is a benchmark of speed??? I just see ROM and RAM... that has nothing to do with speed.
A while ago there was a poster, he did "real" benchmarking... but i dont understand this thread.
Well.. i looked on those beanchmarks...but that didn't help me.
i'm only in my start but i think that the more Free Ram/Memory you have the more faster is your device?
if i'm wrong please tell me..
I just managed to flash the 7.0.2 version of the Cyanogen MOD on my DHD last week thinking that v7.0.2 was the latest version for the DHD as stated in the tutorials in the Cyanogen website.
I want to update my phone into the v7.0.3 Cyanogen ROM, do I need to do a full wipe?
No.
IF, and only if, you have problems after you may need to but no, just flash over top. But is is best to wipe cache.
Thanks for the quick reply d00d. Don't they have anything like a 'Thanks' button here? Well, anyway thanks again.

No worries.
The thanks button is left most of the four buttons bottom right of the post.
There you go, that's two lots now
Feel free to ask if there's anything we an help you with.
Also don't update to 7.0.3 since 7.0.2 has better battery life. Just wait for the next version.

That's subjective. Some say it's better, some worse. I personally found battery life to be much better.
Hmm do I need to backup my apps?
As long as you don't do a full wipe all your apps and data are safe.
You can also safely reflash a ROM over the top of itself if you experience bugs (for me caused because I change ROMs and back again several times a day.)
7.0.3 seems to use a lot of the juice from the battery, up time is now 1:55:37 and battery percentage is now on 87%... Music player has been used roughly around 30mins on half the volume.

lol 1400/200!?!? theres ur 1st problem. use voltage control instead of setcpu and stick with 1000/100 or 1100/100. i always found cfq and conservative to be nice for battery, but apparently noop/ondemand is best. maybe try both. also turn data off when not using it most importantly. also try using the auto-start manager in the ROM Toolbox app (free in market) to disable most of ur apps from staying open or updating widgets constantly in the background. freeze system apps you don't use. forget the v6 supercharger, and i'd say stick with the stock kernel. hope that helps..
Do you expect to get good gas mileage running your car at 100 MPH on side streets? Do not OC if you want good battery life.

Thanks for schooling me...lol....I'm implementing your suggestions now....What do you mean turn data off when I'm not using it? Will I still get emails, text, etc?
I'm A O K with AOKP
If you turn of 3g data, you can still send/get phone calls and texts but no email
Also, undervolt you frequencies with voltage control, I don't think you have to go to stock kernel, but do as you please I would imagine the dark blacks from voodoo control would save battery. But anyways, Marcusant had a great guide for setting up any kernel for your phone, ill try to find it..

somebody in another epic thread posted a link to another phone's thread where this guy did a REALLY thorough study about setting up kernels. he found the noop/ondemand was best on battery and that undervolting AT MOST saves about 2% battery, but typically does just about nothing. For that reason, i wouldn't bother doing it..but it's up to you. as for voodoo color you might be right about the blacker blacks..i just noticed on cm9 that the stock kernel saved more battery for me so figured it might apply on aokp too cuz its so similar

Ahem what battery life oh okay
I haven't figured out what is so different but I get much better battery life on AOKP than CM9. My imagination or is something really different on the roms? I don't use the power saver feature because I need my data all the time.
Im running Stock Build 31 on EL30 modem and no custom kernel nor am I oc/uv. I have very few apps and I have no widgets running and im getting horrible battery drain. I purchased the 1800 battery which is a few months old and I just dont know what to do. While my phone is sleeping, the battery drain hardly even moves, but when I start doing simple things like texting or checking emails I start getting drops of 2% percent or more every 5 mins of use.
Any Suggestion would be great.

Screenshot from Monday AM. Please ignore the mobile network signal bar, every version of Cyanogenmod 10 I've used has the same problem where it stops logging data after about 10 - 15 hours, but my phone does pretty much always have at least 2 bars of signal where I live and work (split about 60/40 between 2G & 3G/HSDPA)
If it helps, here are the cpu states for the last 55 hours useage:

The best battery saving rom is CM9 with the older 2.6.35 kernel. So for example Arcos CM9 RC2 or RC3, the older Slimbeam ROM or this mentioned SmoothieICS. (The other two ones are just modified and themed CM9 RC2 or RC3) For even better results you need an undervolting 2.6.35 Kernel.
My battery for example lasts 3-5 days with CM9 RC2 and Arcos stock kernel. With my personal uv kernel it lasts even more.

But smoothieics claims it has deep sleep implemented xD. Any way I can get a hold if your custom kernel?

Sure. Just drop me your e-mail via PM and I will compile one with stock voltages you then can adjust with incredicontrol to your needs. It´s because my kernel is preset to extreme undervolting voltages and that might be to much undervolting for your cpu.
Btw Arcos kernel has also deep sleep implemented and all custom kernels are basing on arcos kernel, so not only SmoothieICS is going into deepsleep but all custom roms are doing it as well.

your awake time to screen on ratio suggests to me that your battery life could be far better than it currently is! download WLD or wakelock detector and see what is keeping your phone awake so frequently =). Then u can get greenify to hibernate the app when u r not actually using it =D

Unfortunately the two main culprits are K9 email and ebay, both of which are pretty important for me to have running and not in a hibernated state.
However, from the last charge on my phone I have got 2 days, 4 hours, 29 mins with 12% battery remaining - so could be worse I suppose
Thanks for the suggestion though :good:
