Starburst v1.9.8r + Underclock = Great Battery!

Running starburst rom v1.9.8r and its awesome! Thanks phantom for all your work! And thanks to everyone else whose software im using!
Battery life on a few previous roms were a bit low, maby i didnt give my phone long enough to get used to them, but my current set up gives me some of the best battery life I've personally had since before root and starburst v1.8 which were each beast.

Way past my daily charge time and still going strong. connected to wifi a lot,used google navigation for about 90mins of driving, been web browsing a lot/texting/little music/some camera. Nothing spectacular like gaming and videos but my main worry was to make sure i had enough battery at the end of the day to gps back home lol. Dont worry about the few minutes of charging at the end, was showing off netflix through hdmi so kinda needed to have charger plugged in so give or take 2% if you're- why so serious?
Set up:
Sb rom v1.9.8r
LoStKernelExp 1.0.0.8
SetCpu to underclock/undervolt
Viper's LoS Checker v2.1 - default set to check every 2 minutes
ICS green dialer (Idk how that would do anything)
First fully charged phone till blue light,unplugged and turned off,plugged in and let fully charged a few times. Booted straight to recovery and wiped battery data. And yes rebooted and was at 99% but hey.
Also if anyone is worried about performance from underclocking from 1200 to 800, dont be, theres hardly a difference in performance. I play Defender -droidhen- alllll the time and there was absutely 0 performance issues even when using spells and flashy stuff on stage 92. The gps works perfect,no lag between voice and location/distance from next turn (and was on 3g). The single thing i notice is that when on flash heavy web pages, there tends to be a bit more checkerboarding while scrolling up and down, but the pages themselves load up as fast as always.
For the extra bettery life, i think its worth the microscopic performance sacrafice? Anyway I hope this helped anyone wondering about battery life and how I extend my own!
Would love some feedback if anyone is getting better results!

Looks good...still testing tho.
Thanks!

Should I continue the Sony (Ericsson) streak?

I have been using the Sony (Ericsson) phones since it wasn't running Android. I don't want to loose that streak but I also want to go for the Samsung GSIII or HTC One X. I love how Sony (Ericsson) designed their phones but I also want a good phone for gaming purposes. Games like Modern Combat 3 doesn't run smooth on my Xperia Arc S but it does on my mother's Samsung GSII. Please help. I'll be upgrading my phone in December.
Extra: My post is not the same as the one under mine.

It's up to YOU!

I'll be breaking it.. I'm an SE user since K700 days.. Now, they are not just up-to-date with the latest hardware. Anyways, a dual core phone with 480p display will run games smooth! Or if you're really want a gaming device, I'll suggest S 3..

Hmmm.. I'll think about it. I still accept suggestions.

if your a gamer and you want smooth gaming, i suggest you overclock your phone

Yes I thought of that. Problem is not all kernel provides overclocking while having a Battery Friendly tweak in it. I also, like most users, wants a good battery life. Plus, why are we talking about this? I thought it was about the next phone I am going to choose?

If you REALLY want gaming, get a 3DS/PSVita and a Sony Smartphone. But I assume that by December Sony will release a quad-core phone.

Yea. My parents won't buy me any gaming console. Not even a gameboy lol. If sony does release a quad-core phone, i'll buy it.

So..many..roms...need advice

So my Nexus has been under repair for the last two weeks. Just got it back last night.
When I sent it in for repair there were only a handful of roms, now there are like ...lots.
So, was wondering, what is considered right now by the Verizon community for the Nexus, the most complete, feature rich, stable working rom for Jellybean?
I know it's a loaded question, but hopefully someone can give some insight

you should trie this one!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613902
I`m using the maguro version and its great!!! its almost nothing you cant change on this rom!! It is simply amazing:laugh:

Eclipse Jellybean

If you are interested in Jellybean, I would suggest Eclipse Jellybean. I have flashed Paranoid and Vicious and they are both very good ROMs but I really like the included features and continuous updates of Eclipse. I am on verizon as well and have had zero problems with the exception of the custom navbar utility. Not the navbar itself, mind you, just the utility that allows you to customize the softkey icons on the fly. Otherwise, the features are great and they don't include a ton of useless features and mods that will add to instability, kill your battery, or just slow your phone.

Well, I think that ParanoidAndroid is one of the best rom.
The hybrid mode made your phone looks completely different. It's awesome.
It's based CM10.
The thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
Unfortunately, not everything is so good in this rom. The actual versions are not very stable (maybe for the CM kernel). I would recommend to wait untill ParanoidAndroid 2.0 (which should be very stable).
This is an example of how my Gnex looks like:

[Q] Is this typical battery performance?

I'm new to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro), I just switched from a Thunderbolt.
So here's the issue: I am seeing much quicker battery drain than I would expect when running Carbon 1.1 (Android 4.2.2) or Carbon 1.0 (4.2.1). I'm going to try franco kernel today. Here are some screens showing stats. I replaced the stock battery (person who sold it said it wasn't holding charge) with Anker battery. I also disabled NFC wondering if maybe this battery doesn't support it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, maybe I missed something with installing the rom with this phone, as I said before, I am new to the Nexus.

You might can squeeze a little more, but </= 2 hours screen on time is generally what you can expect.

Seems pretty normal to me. With almost an hour of onscreen time 53% after almost 7 hours is pretty good.

Alright, thanks for the input. Sort of not what I expected, as this isn't much better battery life than my TB. Would anyone expect an improvement using just 3G? I don't typically use data on my phone anyone, as at home and at work I have wifi

Not a substantial one, no, but minimal improvement maybe.
EDIT: Unless the majority of your battery drain is coming from data usage.. Torrenting and such..

I somehow noticed a much better battery life in 4.2.2 than 4.2.1
I am running ParanoidAndroid 15th Feb release and AK 691 Pirates on my maguro.
I have disabled sync and only sync mails 2-3 times a day and complete sync once.
And screen on time between 2.5 to 3hrs is normal for the GNex.

CM10.1 4.2.2 video question

I was originally on TW stock w/root and decided to give CM a try. Phone is model SPH-D710 from boost mobile
I have tried a lot of things in CM and so far haven't had any issues I can see atm, but I did notice one thing. When recording a video, in both 720P and 1080P HD it seems to me the video quality is rather poor. What I am seeing is it's grainy somewhat.
I have tested videos I currently have with the videos I take with CM 10.1 and the video just looks quite a bit better on the one I took while on stock TW. When I play the CM 10.1 videos back, the video looks grainy.
A thought had crossed my mind though, I am using the phone to play it back with, so perhaps if I used the PC to play it it would look fine?
So is there a setting I am missing or something I am possibly doing wrong or is the video quality really poor compared to the stock TW video.

questions?
This probably should be in questions and answers.

Yeah possibly, but I figured out what the issue was....so disregard/delete this post if you need or want to
Being the novice video/camera person I am it seems as if I have some basic camera learning to do .
I went out of my bedroom and tested some video different places and it seems lighting can play a pretty big role in how the video looks, and I don't mean just the "low" lighting either. It seems lighting can affect how crisp the video looks, in my case I don't have enough lighting I guess, and even with the LED ligth on, it doesn't seem to clear the grainy look up much, so I guess I need to keep that in mind.
Nothing is wrong with the camera/video part, it was just my room wasn't light the right way I guess, even though it has enough light it seems, just not for the camera/video

All questions go in Q&A
