Hi Folks
I recently got a T989. I am with Bell in Canada but the phone is from Koodo. I have flashed the UVLE1 radio.
I flashed the CM 10.0.0 Stable and everything works well except the battery life is less than 12 hours and it takes extremely long to charge (very slow).
Could somebody please suggest some modifications I could make. I would like to stay on this rom if possible but will change if some other rom can offer better battery life and same stability.
Thanks
CM10 does not have usb fast charge so unless you use only the official charger It will charge like molasses. Try one of the kernels with usb fast charge enabled and you might end up resolving both your problems. Either of the CM 10 kernels should yield better battery life if set properly(governor and scheduler). I personally prefer liquid smooth as my top 4.1 Rom and it has an option to run usb fast charge on the stock kernel so its no need to flash another kernel. Now I'm running 4.2.2 Pac and I must say its awesome and battery is not that bad for the features you get. Hope I helped
You definitely helped... thanks so much! I will check out liquid smooth and pacman as well!
Would you have a link to the kernel thread... i checked in the android development section but cannot find them.
Thanks
So the cerux kernel is not for Cm 10.0.0 which from what i understand is the last stable version.
So I was wondering if there is any other kernel I can use with Cm 10.0.0 which has fast charge and better battery life?
Or is there a new stable version of Cm like 10.1 or something that I don't know about.

Hi I was having issues with my phone over the last few days, it was slaughting my batteries. Had to go to the sprint store and get a new one. I think maybe it's because I installed 1 of the nightly builds a couple of days after Thanksgiving. Right now I'm running CM7.1 stable on it,after I went through 2 batteries figured I should change the rom out. Is there a test to preform so I can ensure it's not a hardware issue vs the nightly build I was running ? I don't wanna have to go throught this again.
I typically run sense ROMs but I have run CM for a little while. What kernel are you using? A friend of mine is running CM7 and is using savaged zen and has pretty good luck with it. I have had bad battery life when switching between ROMs before as well, usually when I swap kernels. Typically it takes a couple days for the ROM to settle in and battery life to get back to normal.
I had terrible battery life with my EVO before I rooted it and ended up buying an extended battery for it before I rooted it. I am currently running the Shooter 3D rom with the chopsuey kernel and I get great battery life out of that. You may want to try a different rom for a few days as well and see if you notice any difference.

If your looking for a ROM that has good battery life and is stable give Energy Sensation XL 3.5 a go it is a very stable ROM with great battery life when you use the stock kernal with it. I was able to get about 30hrs of use before it required a charge.
Hey,
yeah that just sounds like the rom, nightly bulids are most of the time good, but you never know what you are going to get with them. try a differnt kernal or even rom which ever better suits you! Good luck to you! and happy flashing!

Hey guys,
I've really been hesitant to root my GN and flash a custom rom, but I really miss being able to tweak the colors just like I used to do with my Nexus S.
I was decided on not flashing a custom rom on my GN because I want to keep it as stable as possible (bad experiences with my Nexus S).
I'm wondering if any of these custom roms are stable enough that I wouldn't notice a difference between stock and a custom rom.
I'm really happy with stock, but I would love to be able to tweak the colors, and right now I'm really confused as to how I can make the experience better while keeping it as stable as stock is (no random reboots, freezes, crashes).
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thank you.
I've tried a few, some buggy and some not so buggy, but the one that I have had ZERO problems with has been:

Revolution HD
It is VERY close to stock, just cleaned up...and I get great battery life as well.
AOKP Milestone 2 + Franco Kernel
You're on a GSM variant. Shouldn't have to worry about battery life as much since CDMA uses a lot more battery.
If u are going to the trouble of rooting and installing a custom rom. I would recommend u at least go w a 4.0.3 rom.
While I'm sure revolution is a nice and stable rom, its only running 4.0.2. 4.0.3 brings quite a few performance improvements.
I use bigxie's 4.0.3 rom along w Franco's kernel. Nice, stable, and great battery life along w great speed.
Is it possible? I don't really like gingerbread..2.3.5
If ur phone is rooted then flash an ics rom.

Check out the guide i posted to get rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755
then flash a custom ICS Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732569 - TeamDirt Remics (Remix) ics port

However, the front facing camera and few other features do not work on EVO with ICS... ... Do your research before installing.
ICS
I am new to posting as I've always had help flashing new ROMs on my phone. I'm out of luck and out of help with my phone. I have the HTC EVO on Sprint and loaded the latest ICS 2.0 CM9. This ROM and the previous ICS versions have all sucked the battery life beyond what is talked about on these forums. Everything else works great as all the posts say, but my battery life is TERRIBLE. I cannot go 5 hrs without my phone about to die with hardly any usage.
Notable things. It only happens when I am not on WiFi. My battery also heats up during the times the battery is draining. The health of the battery is fine as I've tried several different batteris.
Kernel Version 2.6.38.8 -Mason-El-0.1.5-RC5-sbc
CM Version - PapaSmurf 51 Smurfed Out CM9 2.0
Should I be trying to flash a new kernel, radio? If so, where is the latest downloads? I have been trying to a find the most stable ICS version that will not suck the battery life out of my phone.
I am back to CM9, trying out the official Weekly's, just had too many issues on the various CM10 ROM's to use as a daily for now. I appreciate all the tough work the dev's are doing on CM10 for the One X right now, and with their blood and sweat it will surely be bad ass, and perfect in time, but I need stability and battery life first, so CM9 it is for now. I know a Sense based ROM would give the best battery and stability, but YUCK, can't stand the look and feel Sense or any UI besides good ol vanilla Android
Which kernel would you recommend best for battery life on stock CM9 ? And what setting ? OnDemand or Interactive ?
Or is the stock kernel from the 0923 Weekly the best ?
Thank you

I got the same question but can't find help from anywhere... i am on cm9.1 nozomi, and i got problems with battery draining faster than stock ICS even when on standby... so I've search if different kernels could improve my battery life. i really hope someone could help...
Most battery saving, stable Custom ROM for daily use
Hello!
This is my first here, but i have been reading in this forum for quite a while and I'm pretty sure you experts here can help me.
In general I am really insterested in the whole android stuff, coding apps and trying new modifications.
But now i am looking for a stable Custom ROM, i can use in daily routine and where i dont have worry about crashes and that stuff. I want a stable one because i just dont have the time to flash another one every day or apply a patch..
Another thing is battery life, i have customized my stock rom to last for 1 and a half day, with moderate phone use. But I think with custom roms, the xperia s should be capable of doing more.
My Bootloader is unlocked and the rom should be ics or jelly bean. If there is a stable rom, with high battery life and an experimental JB, id choose the stable ICS.
So please guys what are your recommendations?
A BIg thank in advance

If you have Jelly Bean where did you got it?
CM10 from FXP. It's excellent. Look it up on the development forum and see if it's for you .
I doubt you'd get much more than a day and a half battery usage with any ROM though
