ICS Battery Life - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
Been messing with my kindle since I got it at release, but more or less put it down due to time/new phone (HTC One X whutup).
I know before I put it down, I was having a lot of trouble with the new ICS roms and battery life. Has Hashcodes kernal / the roms that are around now gotten to be more gingerbread-like with their battery life?
I know on stock, and with a little bit of tweaking on one of the GB roms, the battery would easily go a week while just reading. I'm just looking to go for a day in general =P

Looks like this rom may be more for you

And btw my Ics rom lasts all day with just a charge nightly... moderate to mild use... if I just left it in standby it will last 4 to 5 days... but cm7 will definitely last much longer

I use AOKP. I have used the ICS milestone 6 for few weeks now and has much better bat life than stock.
Install "Better Battery Status" App to see where the drain is.
Try XTREMEPERIA

I love this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871161
Cm 10 nightly 09042012 is giving me a day and a half on my t989.
Every phone works differently even if they're the same make and model. Also, keep in mind that battery life depends on the user themselves. For example, are you syncing lots of stuff, how bright is ur screen, is ur Wi-Fi running the whole time, are u playing lots of games...etc.
My advice is to flash them one by one, starting with the most popular rom for your phone and see which one works best for u and ur phone.
Aside from that, I have always recommended infamous roms and darkside roms. I just flashed Jedi mind trick v8 and its running very well too.
Good luck flashing.

I also use this one and the best battery life I got was 2 days and 4 hours but I guess it all depends on how intensively you use your cell phone.

Recommend a stable Jelly bean ROM

Hi can someone please recommend a stable CM10 jellybean ROM? I have been using tbaldens nighties but the BSOD is touch of an issue for me to continue using the night lies.
Thanks for your help.

There isn't any.. Although I'm having minimal problems with the 019 tbalden nightly. No bsods

Why don't you try going back to beta 1 or 2. Especially beta 1 was very good for me
Also, htc is expected to release jb update for hox in October. Once released, everything will become more stable.

Thanks Eyosen. What are you running? Is the BSOD not an issue for you?
Strange I know, but no problems for me whatsoever. There were few quirks but reflashing solved them. I am using bricked 0.6 kernel btw. Great battery life for my usage. 12:45 since last charge, 3:24 screen on, 45 minutes phone calls, still 27% left. Calls, emails, xda, no gaming. Maybe I am not taxing the phone too much. :fingerscrossed:
Once in awhile I get very high values of audioout_3 wakelock but rebooting solves that.

Thanks, I shall try the bricked 0.6 kernel. I'll have a look for it mate. Thanks agin, you are a legend.
Thanks for the compliment but I am nothing but a curious guy who likes to learn and help. That's all.
Some people are having problems with that kernel while watching youtube, smsing, etc. Read first so you won't get surprises.

The nightlys have been rock solid for me with NCX kernel. I believe most of the current issues are caused by the CM10 kernel which is still in the early stages of development by Show-p.
I am also using the latest nightlies, 28th now and bricked 0.6 kernel with no serious problems to mention.

Up to and including beta 1, showp's latest mpdecision routines weren't included in the kernel and it was traditional in a sense, so not many kernel related issues were there. Since he is working really hard to get current issues resolved with the new routines, it's just a matter of time.

Hey, I tried them all, none of them gave me the consistency I was looking for, but before I was going back to Sense (RD-MIUI) cause I was convinced that every Jelly Bean ROM isn't that stable, I tried IceColdJelly AOKP, and its amazing. Definitely try it, its the best for me.

Do governors need to "settle in" like roms/kernels do?

I've been running agat and recently switched my i/o scheduler to SIO and governor to ktoonservative (from cfq and ondemand) since I heard it's supposed to be great on battery. Since then, however, I'm getting about the same battery life with less screen on time and with battery draining apps like facebook uninstalled. Do I just need to give it more time?
Sure, I usually go through two charging cycles before I rush to judgement.
Give it another good day or two.

Owners settle into their phones and stop fiddling with them constantly, not the other way around mate.
No they do not

Governors Are a setting roms don't actually settle the cache builds as you use apps and the rom there are multiple caches as well

Light ROM w/ good battery life

I'm looking for a fast and light ROM that will get good battery life and run smoothly. I've been running Darkside until upgrading to JB last week and was relatively happy with it. I find JB runs too slow and drains the battery too fast so I'm considering switching back to Darkside unless someone can suggest a better alternative.

I'm also on Telus and Rushing has a Telus version. Just check out the Android Development forums for our handset. I've been running it for 2 days and I personally feel battery life is much better than CM, by almost 20%

Will my xperia pro run "faster/smoother" on 2.x.x Android?

Hi guys,
I'm currently running Ultimate HD 3.0.2 and am quite happy with it. However, since the xperia pro device was developed in GB times, I was wondering if it would generally run smoother and faster on a tweaked 2.x.x rom. Am I right? If so, which Kernel/ROM would you recommend for travelling back in time?
Thanks,
pan
Yes GB works better than any ICS or JB ROM in universe but performance comes at a cost of design and features. Basically no Holo for you.

Yes it is really bad in design and font is also baas and too big .. I downloaded font resizer paid app
And it requires root and font is smaller and you can see more on your display
For design i modded the framework and replaced the pngs from my mothers xperia S themed framework with the pngs with my framework i using now atomic gb v7 and it is really fast
And it has full xperia S design and look better than the normal atomic framework
My batter also lasts longer with gb about 13 hours moderate usage
In jb or ics only 7 hours moderage usage
If yoz want the framework just pm me xd
