Batt fix f/3VO 6.5 2.80?

Hope I'm asking this in the right place. Noticed a battery drain fix in threads for 3VO 6.5-ver2.50. Will there be one for ver,2.80? I installed 3 pixal battery bar and can literily watch it drain down. Am I the only one with this issue ? I'll live with it if I have to, love the ROM that much. I know stopping autosync stuff and shutting off data connection will help. Any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

If you have a question about a ROM you use the ROM thread.
Thread closed.

[Q] How do you speed up Gallery in Cyanogenmod?

its load very slow. everytime i want to change a wallpaper i need to wait for my desired folder to appear first then i can choose...gallery on sense rom loads so much faster.
any help/suggestions?

Wild guess, maybe they've implemented the higher-resolution hack? It's a bit of a tradeoff but they probably made the right choice for most people if this is what the "problem" is.

Moved to Q&A.
Please do not make new threads with questions in development

Oops sorry. Cuz i saw people posting questions in there so i thought i'm doing the right thing as in Q & A, not much response in my previous Q.

Question about a kernel (cant post in the development forums)

ok Per the "noob video" i called my mom and told her that she wasnt lying to me when she told me i was not special, but I do have a problem with this kernal let me explain
1. Which kernel build(s) (ie; bfs/cfs havs/nohavs etc) are you using with the issue?
2. What Rom are you using?
3. If known, what OTA base is your rom using (ie; is it based on 3.29, 3.30, 3.70, etc)?
4. Does the issue persist if you go back to a stable kernel build?
5. The issue being experienced (obviously ;D)
1. netarchy-toastmod-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal 4.3.1
2. Cyanogen 7
3. unknown
4. cant get back to a stable kernel
5. I am seeing pixilated lines on key pressed and slides. What I mean is when I press an icon or slide my phone or look at my battery charging it will distort a minor annoyance. Also my usb connection is no longer working it will not let me toggle between charge and disk drive

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't netarchy a kernel for a sense rom and not an aosp?
Edit - just double checked, its for a sense based rom only..
If using cm7, I would suggest tiamat or savaged zen..

you cant use that kernel with CM7. flash tiamat 4.0.5 or any other AOSP kernel. NA kernels are for sense ROMS only.
Your mom did tell you correctly because this did not belong in the dev section.

That kernel is for sense not aosp.
Use tiamat or Savaged zen or "God mode"

OH WOW Guess that is why lol. I thought I read it to say it was usable by many roms. So just flash the stock kernel and use one of the ones echarette1, and mattykinsx posted. Thanks you 2 for telling me that i messed that up.
And alaman68 I thought since it was related to that kernel I coul have posted in that kernels thread. Guessed wrong.

It would have been appropriate to post IN the kernel thread but not a new thread.
I'm NOT trying to join the backseat moderatoring wagon, just letting you know.

Oh no trust me I would not have started a brand new thread I would have tacked it on to the thread that contains the kernel and the information. I am not a forums noob and know that much. And I did not take your letting me know as a "better than you" context, but just wanted to tell why I thought posting in that thread would have been better. Nothing mean intended by you or me just helping in how to keep the board clean you were.
Now on to another question. Currently my Evo is giving me a battery life of ~5 hours before I hit ~15% and being in a job where I am constantly using my phone I can not afford to be attached to a charger for 3 hours a day. I was told by a friend that using kernels will help with battery life. If this is the case out of the ones I was told to use what would be better in terms of extending the life of my daily battery, if that is something they can in fact do?

If you're running CM7, use the Tiamat or SavagedZen kernel, hit the link in my signature for some good tips on battery conditioning and links to better battery guides.

Thank you to everyone who helped me figure out what I did wrong and thank you HipKat for that link going to read it now

[Q] Are specific mods available without flashing a rom?

I'm running Freeza's dedoexed stock MB1 Rom because there are some mods that I want to use, but I can't find them as stand-alone mods. A lot of the Roms have them built in, but they also come with a laundry list of things that aren't what I'm looking for, and/or have things removed that I would still want.
I'd like the Call Record mod, is available as callrecording.zip from Post #2 at Blazer Rom, which I believe is based on Freeza's Rom anyway. If I'm thinking properly, I should just be able to flash that as the Rom is at least partly based on Freeza's rom.
I'd also like to be able to use the camera and flash and wotnot on low battery and while on a phone call, but I haven't seen that mod by itself. And the final thing I'm looking for is the mod to use the volume rocker to skip music tracks while the screen is off.
Are these mods available if I don't use a whole rom to get them? I've searched high and low in the Themes & Apps and Original Android Development forums, but haven't found anything.
Can someone point me in the right direction if they are here somewhere, please? :fingers-crossed:

Just last week we had someone in here almost get crucified (figuratively) for asking pretty much the same question. But you seem like a nice guy, so hopefully it won't happen in this thread.
Unfortunately, there's no comprehensive listing of all available stand-alone mods. That would be a nice project to work on. But it would be hellish to debug (I don't even want to think about all the conflicting script that would go into flashing 10 different mods)
Anyways, onto your question... I think you might be able to find some minor mods here on xda. Where I would start is with the Rom itself. Most roms will list the various mods they have incorporated and will thank the dev who created that mod. Maybe if you look through the thanked users posts, you can find out where they posted the mod. It probably won't be in the Sprint section, so you'll have to be wary of what you're flashing (always nandroid prior to flashing).
Hope this points you in the right direction. Happy flashing!

Thanks, topherk. Hopefully that won't happen to me! I hadn't thought of looking for the thanked devs and seeing who created the mod. My next stop was to go straight to the Rom developers if I still hadn't found what I was searching for, but you're right, the rom developer might not be the same dev who created the mod.

The way they asked it was completely different. The way their request was interpreted was something like "why don't devs just build the exact Rom with these exact mods I want?"
They obviously were much more tactful than that, but some people could've taken it like that, and the ensuing ****storm was entertaining to watch.
Think you asked the"correct" question, which is whether there exists a listing of mods. I wouldn't mind helping to set up that list, but I feel maintaining it would be a pain, haha.

Need Advice

hi,
can anyone please tell me which is the best kernel for ZE551ml 2.3ghz 4gb (MM stock rom). I want a kernel which will increase my battery performance and is stable and supports xposed.
if anyone can guide me on this that will be a great help for me.
and i also want stock kernel in case anything goes wrong so i can get back to stock kernel.
thanks in advance

Just use ZenKernel MM (it's sysless so magikx + xposed works)
- and then use Kernel Settings app (like Auditor/EX) to select your preferred settings... The good thing is that everybody has different preferences for "performance" so like if you want ultimate battery life you may end up having a super black screen and totally restrict appsyncs and wakelocks... and.. basically you'll be stuck with the kernel's settings.. but this one will let you "play around" without long term harm or any need to re-flash
Then again using the ... I forgot exact name but something Russian ROM dude's own kernel is great for performance... and you can just manually change some battery saving options like sleep/brightness/etc..
The thing is... "batt performance" = too vague...

Side note @crownpiyush - Literally all your questions are answered if you go to the Kernel list for ZF2... There are hardly a dozen or so kernels and each with a basic list of what it does... + it has stock kernel as well... so.... you know... don't be lazy dude

Non-techy people don't even know about XDA - you know enough to find this, then... okay - look I don't want to just be rude so look at it this way..
i saw your query.. my reaction was "this is simple is it really not written anywhere? that's odd"
So... I searched ZenFone 551ML
The XDA page for the specific device came up (same page your post is in)
On the very top it says Rom/Kernel - I went into Kernel
And just opening 3-4 tabs for the most popular ones... the first 2-4 introduction lines had everything you asked answered already.
Someone who doesn't know anything about this doesn't know what is a kernel - but if someone is trying to learn then with a site as hugely worked "by the people for the people" and so organized - it is expected to do the basic search.. read the first 2 lines.. if certain word is unclear google the term (eg what is cfw gov) ...
After that when you ask a question there is automatically a willingness to help because we see someone getting into the game. If everybody did what you did... then XDA would not exist.
You have answers because someone did the searching and got the result -> they helped someone else -> they learned something new and helped someone else.
Some very much from this industry some newcomers... If nobody wanted to learn more - then there would be nobody left to teach/learn from.
