Im looking for a stock rom with no changes to it that allows me to keep root. I Looked through all the older threads in development but it seems there have been updates and such. Right now I am running CM 6.1 and it seem my batt is dying way faster then it did on a stock rom. I'd like to compare them and such. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction i'd be happy! Thank you!

Yes, I am experiencing higher drain as well. Search the development section for cr_mod, look for the CR_Mod OTA 1.35.something. It's the rooted stock ROM with a wireless tether built in, OTA update and all. That's what your looking for. I flashed dumfuq's OC 4.0 kernel over the stock ROM and got better battery life than the stock HTC kernel, so I also recommend doing that. I'm on cm6.1 stable now, so I can easily modify themes, since it's AOSP based, and also so I can use the gingerbread latin_IME keyboard, since you need at least froyo to do that.

Hey thanks! I went back for about 8 hours and hated it. Im back on CM 6.1 and im getting terrible battery life still. IDK, I am going to try and reformat my SD card and reflash at a full battary etc. I migh ttry the kernel, but, I really don't want any OC of any kind, just maybe a lower standby setting, something in the range of 50mhz while the screen is off or something.

I cant see how formating an sd card could help. Anywho, cm 6.1 has the oc kernal already built into it. You dont need to flash any kernals, just use setcpu to adjust the speed.

50 MHz is too low. 245 is the lowest option

I said try flashing dumfuq 4.0 over it because I THINK, not positive, but I was speculating that cyanogen had modified the kernel slightly that was causing a battery drain issue, because I stopped having so many issues with it when I flashed dumfuq's 4.0 kernel over it. Sounds weird, but it helped. I still have an occasional glitch where something is holding a wakelock on the system and it won't go to sleep, which is really annoying, and I think I traced it back to the music app, but still not sure there. I've been off of the charger for over an hour, with just 11 minutes of screen on and screen is 71% of the usage while cell standby is 11%, that's what makes me think flashing dumfuqs 4.0 fixed it. Cyanogen must've made a modification.
So, also @ the OP, go into spare parts battery history and see what is using it. If "running" is up above like 30 or 50% then you have something holding a wakelock, go to partial wake usage, and look at the app or UID that's got the wakelock. Rebooting normally gets rid of the lock for me, like I said, haven't quite figured it out yet.
hi,
I have an HTC Desire HD with RCMix HD_5.6.7 rom installed. It has been fine for weeks, suddenely in the last few days when i put my phone on standby, my screen will turn on without it being touched and does it constantly untill the battery drains.
Just wondering if anybody has any ideas?
P.S i have done a complete phone wipe and reinstalled the ROM but it's still doing the same.
thanks

did you install any app prior to that? or did you check the stay awake in development setting?

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't installed anything new and I haven't ticked "stay awake" since i rooted my phone a couple of months ago, and then i turned it off afterwards to save battery.
Im thinking im going to install a Sence 3.0 rom see how it is then.
Any recomendations as to which Sence 3 rom i should install??
thanks again

So far the true Sense 3 roms are still not mature enough. You may face a lot of limitations and bugs. Most of stable ones are based on Sense 2.1 with Sense 3 components.
Coredroid and Leedroid are two of my personal choices. If you want a true Sense 3, try RcMix3D or Virtuoso Unity to see them yourself.

Battery life is a huge issue to me cause I hate charging my phone twice a day. So I am wondering what rom has provided the best battery life for others?

This is what i am on, and I installed francos kernel, but now it is draining my battery even faster so I think im gonna switch back
what governor r u running?
did u open up the camera and back out to make sure it was keeping ur phone awake?
how often do u have things sync?
do u have something running in the background like a messenger app? or push email?
I reas that android revolution hd is really good! I'm working on rooting my phone (having problems, I'm a newbie) them that is going to be my choice. I saw that everybody talks very well about it

Figured out it was largely the camera app that kept waking my phone, also I use delayed lock which drains it a lot as well

how do you go back to the original kernel?
My battery life was absolutely normal until I flashed CWM recovery v5.2.0.8 via PC49IMG.zip method. I didn't flash any roms or mods I only flashed the recovery. Where can I find CWM recovery v2.5.0.7 ? I won't use Rom manager to get because I know that flashing a recovery from rom manager make it temporary not permanent. I want the permanent to be v2.5.0.7 and the temporary v5.0.2.0

This exactly. What do you have your processor frequency set at? Underclocking it a bit (or changing governor) might help. If not, try recalibrating your battery with an app from the market.
Getting a little tiresome now,with all the " my battery is draining " solutions are posted everyday,if your too lazy to SEARCH turn off your phone and don't use it!! That'll save your battery lol.

A bit rough (in my opinion), but I'll have to agree, there has been a recent uptick in battery issue threads.
Its not being rough its being informative to the " I want a quick fix " users, people want the newest, greatest,super this, fastest that etc etc have there phone o/c to unnecessary levels and still expect the battery to be able to work wonders. Sorry peeps but its not gonna happen unless you turn things down and/or off. Light levels,sound levels,oom levels,o/c levels,gps,data,sync intervals etc etc etc.The battery on the wildfire has (lets be honest) always been quite poor,to put it mildly. The way I see it and get over this issue is think how long a laptop would last with constant use!!! Now compare your phones battery life which your probably trying to run like a laptop!! Rant over.
P.s I'm not trying to upset or anger anybody and if I have it wasn't my intention,I was just emphasizing the point that this issue has been discussed and methods to increase battery life are all over this forum.
Regards slym.
" Tomorrow .... its a brand new Today "
My CPU frequency is always set at 352 as min and 576 Max with smartassv2 governor.
I don't overclock it except when I am playing angry birds. And when I finish playing I get it back to the previously mentioned values. I've noticed the battery issue after installing CWM recovery v5.2.0.8 and I've seen another post (don't remember where) about the same problem

Ok,i might be wrong and i will acknowledge I am if someone can successfully explain to me how a recovery can cause excessive battery drain!!

It can't imo recovery only works when you boot into it, same as wiping batterystats.bin doesn't do anything to help battery life....... its all a myth!!

As stated by Google dev, battery recalibration does absolutely nothing.
It has been featured article on XDA too, I believe.

I know, but it might help if the battery isn't reporting charge correctly.
So after all these posts no solution?
the battery draining problem just happened with no warnings. It's really pissining me off

Are you using any scripts in the init.d folder?
Or have you any badly coded apps installed? How many apps do you have?

If you want an ultimate solution, restore your phone to factory settings using CWM, flash a lightweight ROM, underclock your processor, try not to multitask as much (quit apps, don't just go home), turn off background data, lower your screen brightness, and, if all that doesn't work, get a new battery! If even that doesn't work, you probably have a faulty device.
Even if you quit apps properly most can just get going again by themselves, two apps i've mentioned a million times in these forums, Autostarts and llama or tasker if your a bit more tech savvy. If they don't solve apps wasting battery nothing will.

Actually I don't know where this init.d folder is located. But I don't have any scripts installed/running.
As for apps, I have exactly 99 apps. Should I uninstall some of them or what ?
I don't have an extra ext partition, but I have custom MTD partitions since forever. And I am on cm7 build 14 since ErwinP uploaded it.

Hi guys,
My girlfriend just bought HTC Wildfire S. Unfortunately sometimes there is huge lag when unlocking the phone or answering a call. In other words the screen doesn't react to finger input for 2-3 seconds, then it unlocks/answers. It is very annoying. As I'm totally out of topic in development on Wildfire S, I am asking you to help me. Did someone had similar problem? I was thinking about changing a kernel or flashing a ROM to fix this issue, but I totally don't know what to choose in terms of stability and Sense interface.
Thanks in advance
It occurs due to the load our old processor take due to sense......... You can try a sense kernel or try an AOSP rom like CM7
Just what I thought. Any kernels worth trying?

If you are using a sense ROM I recommend Dust kernel or Cake kernel. People prefer cake one more because of stability.
And If you are thinking of going for CM7 speed mod kernel is good.

had the same problem after i updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5:crying:
if the phone is new i will suggest not to root it..(coz u need to use it for atleast a few months 2 make sure that the one u got is a stable and long lasting onejust 2 be sure)
there is a new ota update available now 4 wfs...try it out as it may sort out the problem..(i cannot as i am rooted & too lazy to unroot it again)
also u can try using 'advanced task killer/memory booster' or any other and customize it to kill running apps at a specific intervals to free up ram and speed up the system..(this may solve the problem in most cases)
also try not to fill up the internal memory:sillyyeah its too less)..and clean up the cache every now and then(easy cache cleaner etc)
these were the few simple,non-root and 'may solve ur problem' solutions..but if u want a 'definitely will solve ur problem' solution then root ur device and flash a kernel that supports overclocking:fingers-crossed:
Try to factory reset that solved my problem

If you're currently on a custom ROM, then you probably just need to tweak your CPU settings. I've given this advice to dozens of folks and they all said it worked for the symptoms you're describing.
If you're not a custom ROM, then you really should be.
Once you can tweak your CPU settings, set it to something like 600/768 (min/max) with the Smartassv2 governor and noop scheduler. I publicly guarantee you that your screen lag will go away (assuming you're not flooding your internal RAM by loading all kinds of useless **** into it )
Suerte,

Try another governor, try a perfamance governor first. Because when phone is in sleep mode for battery saving it slows down CPU and i think those 2-3 seconds is the time when cpu speed up till 600 MHz. On perfomance governor is always on max freq, but don't use it always because phone will use energy fast. If it helps that means this 2-3 sec lag you can solve with trying different governores. if helped press thanks and sorry for my bad english
