I NEED help finding the .30 Radio everyone keeps talking about. I heard it gets better service and i live in an area where i get very little service! PLEASE post a link tto it or to the thread. Thank You SOOOO much! Also, if you can, post your thoughts on the .30 radio or recommendations of radios! One last thing, I get HORRIBLE battery life , if you can't answer about the radio please give me KERNEL recommendations!
Phone: T-Mobile G2
Rom: meXdroidMod Pre-GhostChili
Kernel: Umaro Kernel 2.6.35.13
Android Version: 2.3.4
Here is a link to all the radios available and info on how to flash.
Thank you sooo much!! Just flashed the .30 radio and my service is AMAZING!! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!

From my experience with meXdroidMod roms, they suck when it comes to battery life so switching roms might help. But that's just my 2 cents
* Thank you. That is all......
A radio is not gonna change your battery life as drastically as you are hoping for. Changing roms like the above poster suggested is your best bet.

That's depends on your definition of drastic though. Switching from the .17 radio to .30 radio have me an extra 2.5 hrs a day because where I worked at the time my phone wasn't getting horrid reception for 8 hours at a time. I would consider that drastic but not everyone will have results that differential
* Thank you. That is all......
Can anyone help explain how to match ril's of a radio that's flashed? I keep seeing that on a development thread. Supposedly it may or may not give you better reception/gps lock?

Just curious what radio you were on prior to flashing to .30 since there is a newer radio, Vision_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03 available. I'm wondering if .30 is somehow better than the newer .03 and maybe that's why you flashed it rather than the newer radio.

I personally get better battery life on meXdroid than any other rom I've ever tried. Most people that complain about battery life on this mod don't calibrate the battery after flashing. Also meXdroidMod is the only rom I know of that uses waydownsouth's tweaKr script that allows you to undervolt your cpu and set profiles that react much faster than setCPU. I can get 20 hours of heavy usage out of one charge, or about two days if I'm using it lightly, but to each their own....

Also don't forget .30 came from an aosp rom and .03 came from a sense rom. So if your on aosp I would stay with .30

Hey guys, whats up.
so i have flashed just about every ROM available and i always go back to stock, for some reason i like it best, BUT i would like a overclocked / undervolted kernel to go with it and im not sure how that works.
can i flash any kernel while using the stock Verizon ROM, or is a custom ROM required?
and if i can on the stock ROM, are hydra kernels still the way to go, or is something better out that i havent seen?
thanks guys!
You can do a custom Kernel on the stock ROM as long a you are rooted. Hydra's Kernels are good but I have had an amazing experience with KingXKlick #5 really does great battery life with overclocking.
Thanks kungfuturkey for the insight.
I'm rooted but haven't begun playing with Roms. The more I look around, the more I like what Sense has to offer me... it is one of the reasons I bought the Incredible. But, if I stick with stock... I think I want to upgrade the radio and kernel.
I noticed your recommend the KingsClick over the hydra. Have you also upgraded the radio?
Thanks.

There are up/downsides to updating your radio, ex - worse/better reception, call quality, battery life. These vary by geography, ROM, kernel, device.
Opinions vary, and the ROM you run also makes a difference, along with the battery you use (if not stock), as well as how much/many things you synch
- take a look at the official radio thread - from there you should be able to glean what works for you.
Yes I have upgraded the radio which is easy to do but stressful because if you do it more than once it WILL brick your phone but just do it once and your good. Hydra's kernels are good but as far as battery life goes I've had better luck with Kings #5

Although I LOVE meXdroidMod pre-ghostChili, I have to get rid of it because of battery life. :/
Can anyone give me a recommendation of a different rom and their thoughts about it? If you have time, could you also provide a brief description of the features provided in the rom?
-thank you sooooo much! It really means a lot!

Just a thought, why don't you give to the developement section and have a look at all the roms on offer. Many people comment on them so if you bother reading the comments you'll see any pros/cons.

Have you calibrated your battery/wiped battery stats after flashing that rom?
I'll recommend MIUI Osimood, it's bit different, but it works and is great. Just backup your current rom and get flashing, and try out different roms.

I am a huge CM fan. I have used it on 3 phones now and it acts differently on each. But the CM7 stable (7.0.3) for vision is the best so far with regards to stability and battery life. I used the latest bell radio and didnt automatch RILs. I can get more than a full days with HEAVY use of the phone.
This is my best combo (rom/phone) so far. I still prefered the Milestone build quality...but battery life and RAM sucked the life out of it. Especially with CM.

I am using the freshly released Virtous Sense 2.0.0. Why? Because it's based on the recently published original ROM for the HTC Desire Z / G2: 2.42.405.2
So it's native to the G2/Desire Z and not a port, which I consider important regarding stability etc. Especially since the Desire Z with it's hardware keyboard is definitely an exotic variant in the realm of the droids...
What I also like about the Virtuous Sense MOD:
- Slightly overclocking/underclocking is included in the kernel, which makes it a smoother experience while saving power when the screen is turned off.
- You still have the original HTC Sense 2.1 experience
- little things like the battery icon are enhanced (you get an exact percentage) and can also be configured individually if wanted
Tronar
Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc

AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)
Which kernel is optimal for powersave and oc?
Tiamat 4.1.0 or ManU 2.0 Kernel?
for me cm7.1 kernel is most optimal, and miui of course.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
ManU-Kernel is very good, but I recommend to test yourself (at least one week each, kernels need some time to stabilize themselves).

Thanks for your advise. CM7.1 kernel is stable but the battery management is definitely not the best.
I made such comments because I had Nexus S as well and flashed -=NexusMV [1.11.30]=- Rom which overall performance is better than original CM rom.
Thanks!

I had tried Tiamat 4.1 kernel for more than a week. I have found the battery performance is slightly better than the original kernel from my MIUI rom but still not good enough...
I will try ManU kernel and see if this works better.
After the battery performance, I will try to OC a little bit.
Most recommend version of the ManU-kernel is the HAVS-AXI-CFS one.
Thanks again!

Besides, if Radio version is also an issue about battery live?
I am now using the latest one: Radio_bravo_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Original HTC Sense Android 2.2 rom from HK: 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
Never heard about it. IMHO radio should only be changed if their appears a problem which is radio (=hardware) connected. Battery life is not connected to hardware, but very strongly to the kernel one is using.

It is connected to the radio as well. Radio can be updated if the user has a wish to do so. The ril is the one which should be best left alone.
@op - make your mind. You asked a question about two things that are a contradiction one to another.

Good to know, thanks. As I said, never heard / read a radio update could change the battery life.
Im running MIUI AU and I find that the best kernel is the ManU 1.4 HAVS-AXI-CFS. I've tried both 1.4 and 2.0 but 1.4 seems to yeild the best results.
Hope this helps.

your cell phone battery must be the copy version, so you need to buy the original battery at normal website or store, but please pay attention tp some owners on Ebay or Amazon, because many of them just cheat customer using refurbishment battery.

There are two many factors (so I've read) to recommend any one single radio. Even if we lived in the same area, it may not work the same. The general recommendation is after flashing a radio is to use it for a few days to see how it performs.

If the right radio and mix of auto-sync settings isn't working, try looking for a new battery for the phone. After I replaced my stock HTC battery, my phone lasted a lot longer. Make sure to get a good battery though, not the 5 dollar ones. A good one will cost $15-20
