Since I rooted I've been getting horrid battery life. I used my phone for 10 minutes today texting and the battery life's consumed 7%. This is not good.
Check in your sync to make sure your calendar or contacts ect. aren't stuck trying to sync. This happened to me, and phone was dying in a matter of a few hours.
Mine is like that too I was thinking about switching to Another since I hear that Rom gets better battery life.
There are several existing battery threads. You should ask questions in there.
Hardly used my phone for 40 minutes today and down to half battery life. Can't somebody throw me a bone here?
You could try flashing one of the undervolted kernels from IntersectR or Diet. I noticed it helped a fair bit on the Cyanogen rom. Another option could be to switch to the Enom 1.8.1 rom. I'm currently running the Enom rom with IntersectR hybrid kernel and get fairly good battery life.
I had this too, flash any other kernel and it seems to fix itself. Intersects is a good call.

Same here, man
I flashed this kernel:
OC/UV kernel + HTC_Camera Addon for 1.8.1
and this rom:
TheOfficial_Nexus1_v1.8.1_update.zip
from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427
Is that the kernel that's being praised for having good battery life?

I'm running this combo, and I get 10x better battery life than on Cyanogen's!
Good to hear. Ill report back with my findings after a few days useage!
I was having battery troubles, but I just charged my phone fully then wiped the battery stats in recovery and have had great improvement.
Is there such thing as a desire ROM that has good battery life for the N1?
sorry, Cyano506 has great battery live... you must be doing something wrong..
yeah I must of installed a cyanogen from a different person...
....hey--wait a minute...
Battery CM 506
..this is not too bad for 506...
Thats what I am using now with the addition of juice defender free which gave me a small but noticeable boost in battery life. These things together gave me the juice to make it through the day without scrimping on my usage, before I had to either scrimp or charge during the day to make it.

well damn. I am currently looking for a new kernel. What are u running? I have a kernel from late January. From what I hear there are several good ones out there with better battery life. I am running 5.0.6 also
I don't understand. Look:
I've hardly even used it :S
since I posted that picture I haven't touched my phone, and here's the difference:
I've been away for a few months and recently stopped by to see that there hasn't been a stable in about 4 months, does this mean that CM7 development for the nook is pretty much over? I'm currently running a dual boot with stock on internal memory and 7.0.2 on the sd card. If I wanted to update my CM7 should I just go for the latest nightly? I have no issues with 7.0.2 other than the battery life is just god awful. I am not a big android user so I don't know what the "norm" is, but I can leave my nook color booted into stock for probably a week without having to plug it in with minimum uses. CM7 7.0.2 even if I don't use the device at all will go from 100 to 20 in a matter of 48 hours.
Wow.. that is one hell of a logic jump to make, that because there is no "stable" (BTW, there actually is a RC1 that came after 7.0.2), that work has stopped. Since you haven't looked, i would suggest taking a look at the nightly log, and seeing for yourself.
Also, CM7 does a "stable" release as a whole; not per device. Anyway, yes, update to nightly 173 (i think you are around 50-100 nightlies behind), and really enjoy your nook..

As a rule never presume a device that is currently still being manufactured and that has a community (several actually) that is dedicated to the modification of said device's development is dead.
I really hate to be this guy, BUT being that this is a very active forum on said device (and developments are posted nearly daily), it would also be wise to click a few links or do a few searches.
As for development... tough to come out with a stable when so much is happening (B&N releasing 1.3, all the advances in other areas of CM7, etc.)
As for battery life... stock should last extrememly longer... all it is is an e-reader with minimal "accessories"... CM7 is makes it full fledged android tablet... with a LOT more features etc... by nature it will utilize more battery than something that is idle without all the extras
Think about cell phones... I used to be able to go days without charging my cell phone (using it a lot)... now with android phones I have to charge it at least every day (sometimes twice a day)... there's a LOT going on in android devices that sucks up juice.
I've been running CM7 since n128 or so and my battery life is every bit as good, if not better, than stock. And currently Dalingrin's OC kernel is already integrated. It really is butter smooth and I'm running it off of sd.
That being said, it is curious to me why there hasn't been a recent release candidate...
Ok lets be clear on one thing here:-
CM7 stable releases are not aptly named.Often they are far from stable and really are more like milestones than anything else.
For the very best cm7 on any device the tricks are:-
follow the forums and see which nightly is currently the best.
flash every so often when a much loved nightly release comes out!
Simple and true!
Still, the funny thing I've noticed is that...I've not seen a single need to upgrade past RC1. Everything in RC1 works for me and is buttery smooth.
*Shrugs*
Read the CyanogenMod Blog post on the subject
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/the-state-of-cyanogenmod
I thought there was 7.0.2, then 7.0.3 stable, then 7.1 RC.
Where have you been in the last 4 months or will you re-surface in the next 4 months?

Major improvements after 7.1 RC:
Overclock kernel included
Amazingly fast boot up
Lots of small stuff, ability to switch sd card and emmc etc.

Well I've noticed that PSX4droid and N64oid v2+ prefer 7.0.3. I'm not sure why but it could be new 32 kernel.
Everything else seems good though.

I already have the overclock kernel....and I don't reset very often. So I don't see much point in upgrading yet. I have a comfy 2gb internal and 4gb internal storage.
I have had about 400 hours uptime? Recently resettled to doing 240 dpi and I am finding that I absolutely love the giant everything plus a working market. Haha.
I had mine since end of March, ran rooted for awhile then phiremod then CM7 for quite a while. Had 7.03 running for some time, with very few issues. Main one is if I wanted to use bluetooth I had to turn it on immediately after reboot, then it seemed to work fine.
Rom manager kept prompting to upgrade to 7.1-RC, so gave it a shot.
Issues I saw -
1) When plugging in Nook, screen doesn't turn off. Googled this, some don't seem to think it is a bug. Actually on my new Acer A100, I don't think it does either, but I liked it when after plug in screen would come on, then short while later turn back off.
2) Biggest issue, now when unplugged overnight (twice now), it turns off completely. Is this the SOD? If so, I don't like it. 7.03 never did this.
3) But on the other hand, the good -
Nook Tweaks is awesome package but you need later version of Dalingrin to run it, not sure if later Dalingrin can be installed with 7.03 (I may try this). Nook Tweaks app brings some nice features like USB host mode (I haven't tried this - need special cable). Also ability to turn down headphone preamp - awesome. Anybody who hates the hiss or blasting your eardrums by accidently pressing the volume up, will like this feature.
Also bluetooth seems to be able to be turned on whenever now. Also nice.
So in my experience other than the shutdown thing, 7.1 worked fine, but because of shutdown thing I'm going back to 7.03 and doing some testing to use latest overclock and nook tweaks app.
My advice if you think you want to try the newer features do a backup first. You may want to go back if you get the shutdown thing, like I did.
Sorry guys didn't mean to upset anyone. Some of us are a less plugged in than others. I just upgraded to the latest nightly so hopefully the battery life will be greatly improved. I noticed that this can now be overclocked as high as 1200, but I left it at 800 for now just to see how battery life is.
congrats on your update. for me, my battery life has been awesome. 7hrs over night with only 1% drain. here are my settings for overclocking and voltage. I have been running with these setting for sometime now and it has been perfect, vary stable and buttery smooth and no SODs. I also set my screen to 16bits for better performance, about 4-6 fps better then 32bit. can't really see the difference between 16-32bit but can appreciate the better performance with 16bit.
me: cm7 n174 / conservative / 16 bit / nenamark1 22.9 / neocore 29.9 / quadrant 2642

There was an update (or several) that fixed a deep sleep issue. I forget when it was, but it made battery life for me go from 2-3 days like you were saying to easily a week or more depending on usage. I'm also running the 1200 overclock (with interactivex governor) and have no complaints. Unfortunately, it's hard to track all of the improvements from the last stable release with all the nightlies, but some of the highlights are the battery life/deep sleep, improved bluetooth, and usb host, not to mention the included OC kernel (among many others i'm sure i'm forgetting).
I hung back for a month or so, staying on 7.0.3, but the other day I decided to go to the latest nightly after reading some of the comments on ROM Mgr about it. Night and day, really! And, haven't seen the SOD since 7.1 RC.
4 months is a long time not to be "plugged in" -- whad'ja do? Get an iPhone?

I don't actually own a smart phone The NC is my first experience with Android. I glance at the threads every few days to see if anything peaks my interest, but honestly at least half the stuff is over my head. Summer is the best time to spend less time on the computer and more outside, so I haven't been following much. BTW I'm a software developer by trade but I'm on the MS side of things

Have you tried going lower at 800 MHz?
I found my Nook Color stable with these settings:
300 MHz @ 0.8125v
600 MHz @ 0.95v
800 MHz @ 1.075v
1100 MHz @ 1.225v
1200 MHz @ 1.3v
(That is the lowest possible I could set them to for 300/600/800).
Hello everyone,
I am a newcomer to the O2X world. My previous device was an Xperia X10 and having that device for a long time it was fairly easy to follow the forums and know what route to go, which rom to get or kernel, etc.. Now being introduced to Rom Manager, and this phenomenal (to me) device its like starting all over again. I flashed to CM7.1 nightly (yesterday) and the device just only seems to get better and better, although being honest, I truly loved the Music App 2.2.2 had, as well as the camera. I tinkered around a little to get those to work without any success yet.
In any event, my real question is about the kernels... running CM7.1 nightly, what is a recommended Kernel to switch to? I am not looking to overclock the device as I feel it just isn't necessary (used to the Xperia), so Im just looking to get any fixes, tweaks, been hearing about Voodoo Sound etc to just solidify the phone.. might someone be able to point me in the right direction? I had been reading the forums for days now since I got the device but still haven't found what route to go as all the features are completely new to me.
Any help would much much be appreciated! and I must add, there are mixed reviews on the O2X but my take thus far, Im completely blown away.
vorkkernel and swiftextreme

hi, welcome
i stick to vorkkernel(normal version), you can get app to install in market for free.
i run it on 1,2 Ghz, with sleep profile in setcpu with 816Mhz.
gives me about 35hrs battery life and great speed in everyday use.
I am on CM7 with swiftkernel, [email protected],2GHz and I am really satisfied. I get 36-48h of normal use with 3G on and the 2x runs as hell.
Only drawback from the swiftkernel: You get a wakeup delay (1 sec.) because the kernel locks the cpu down to 256MHz when the screen is off. (Which results in a higher standbytime.
Hah, I remember my X10, used to run TripNraver MIUI on that does he even still make roms?
Anyway would stick to the stock CM7 kernel if i were you, least problems with that (no SOD, BSOD etc). On vork / swift problems keep popping up (for me at least). CM7 kernel no problems
I really dont have any knowledge about kernel!! pls help me
i am using cyanogen mod 7 and i installed swiftkernel by overclocking to 1.2 ghz wont it damage my phone??? pls do reply thank you very much in advance .....

You always take a risk when overclocking. With 1.2 it's not a big risk, but there's always one.
Thank you so much!!! can you pls tell me which kernel is good for daily use ??? i am using cyanogen mod 7 ??? when i installed swiftkernel .. i realized that it was automatically overclocked to 1015??? is this fine???
Yo...
I'm using CM Nightly's, in last week I did the install the Vork Kernel, I think so good to diary use.
Now I'm using the #201 with Vork Kernel, all ok. No BSOD and others bugs.
You can use SetCPU with personal profiles.
I'm using max 1216mhz and Profile's Screen Off: max 816 min 216. All ok in this time.
Already did one week, no problems with this.
Just had problem with #202 CM, in #197 and #201 all ok.
so bro if i am running MIUI , what do i need to do to overclock it??
sill any of these kernals be good enough or is there any specific kernal for miui??
I have it rooted with gingerbread 2.3.5 and i am not pleased.
my phone was slow. like making me mad slow. Its like my phone only wants to be fast a couple. I had launcher pro , go sms and go key board. But then i uninstalled all except launcher pro and removed all my widgets. and its a little faster but its still really sluggish. also my battery seems like it goes down pretty fast.
Should i download a new rom ? Im thinking of getting a new phone also. i was thinking about an iphone but not sure .
Wich 2.3.5 and kernel?
I have Jvs
Well I can't offer any help on a I9000 rom. Haven't been on one of them for a while. I would recommend you trying a native rom. But Have you tried reflashing that same rom you are on?
is it stock or the custom rom? I am running S_Bamboo rom based on JVT and talon kernel...its really really smooth, fast and decent battery....
Im on apex , and i have tried reflashing . Im going to try a different kernel
My captivate was running extremely slowly (almost unusable) when I was running Mosaic VII. It was so bad that I almost dished out ~$600 for a new phone (contract wasn't up yet). As a last effort, I decided to try out CyanogenMod 7. To my amazement, my captivate is suddenly extraordinarily fast and ridiculously usable! The data connection is actually fast (used to take about 7 minutes to update Pulse (news reader), and now it completes in under 4 seconds), GPS is still meh but better than previously, and the phone interface is very snappy.
If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly recommend CyanogenMod to see if that solves your issues. It saved me a buttload of money since now I don't need a new phone until my contract is up!

how is your battery life though? I personally have had the best luck with pinnacle.
CM and miui had awful battery, and i would often have to turn off and on the data (at least once a day).
this also was when i was using nightlies (maybe a month before the stable release came out) is there any difference in the rom now? Should i give it a shot again?

CM7 has been great for speed and battery life for me. Absolutely astonishing. I don't even care about the SGSII anymore.
PS If you try it, I suggest doing a complete restore, i.e. not using Titanium Backup as it seemed to slow things down for me.

Going to give it a shot when I get home.
I'm optimistic, but I really can't see how it can even come close to a kh3 ROM.
If I just leave my phone in standby, after 10 hours, it might only go down to 85-90 percent. Last time I tried cm, it would go down 5% an hour.
The last nightly I remember flashing was around build 100 or so. Have they fixed the proprietary driver issue that causes the bad battery life?
Should I go with glitch kernal? Or stick with stock? And what glitch should I go with if I do use glitch?
Fingers crossed that it works better this time!

My battery life is actually extremely better than it was with Mosaic (and previous ROMs). After a day (from 8 AM to 11 PM) of pretty heavy use (reading emails, Pulse news, non-stop texting, and web surfing), my battery is probably between 10-20% left. Obviously thats not a lot (definitely requires a charge every night), but compared to my 8 AM - 5 PM (completely dead) battery life previously, it is a substantial increase. I have found that it drops from 100% to 60% pretty damn quickly, but then hovers in the 50-60% range for a long time (playing a 3D game for 30 minutes made it drop from 90% to 75%, but on a different day, the same 3D game for 30 minutes went from 66% to 65%).
I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't do a backup and restore of your apps though....I'd reinstall each one again manually (you can restore the data to some apps if you want). Also, clear all caches and battery stats. Don't freak out if your battery dies to ~60% after an hour...it will stay around that percent for almost the entire day.
PS: On standby, this thing is a beast. From 8 PM to 11 AM (on standby completely while i was sleeping), it only lost 1% battery life. I don't use anything like Juice Defender or anything. Data was still enabled.
I've been using Serenity rc4.1, and about to flash rc5. Been fast, stable, and good battery life for me. Light use yielded me 1 day and about 17 hours on a charge. Haven't had any problems with wifi, gps, or really anything else. Good luck.
Well I'm on it right now and I like it better compared to apex. I can tell try hat my battery life is better. Does anyone know the best modem/ kernel that I can get for my phone

I use the stock kernel without any issues, but I've never tried any others. Modems are very geography dependent so it will take some trial and error. I am currently using UGKG3 with great success if you're looking for a starting point, and I've also had great luck with JJJV5, but YMMV.
Well, I'm writing from SGS2 right now, but I do have SGS too (my working phone no.), and I was not satisfied with with any stock (or/and) deoxed ROM I've tried (JVH,JVK,JVP,JVB, JVO,JVQ.....), because even fresh flashed or (and) tuned ROM felt sluggish to me. I've tried even few CM7nightlies, but I've been pushed away by some of it's aspects (it was fast, rock stable, but something around nightly #80, it wasn't mature yet for daily use). After a while on JVQ, I've finally decided to give that crappy chineese piece of **** a go...
Well, now I'm satisfied. MIUI ROM is based on CM7, so it's stable and fast, it can be configured to the bone, and with some gentle touch from MIUI team to the graphic design, it is best compromise between graphically advanced, but slow and unstable Samsung ROM and it's derivates, and superior rock stable and reliable CM7 which lacks any unified user friendly interface for all apps, and some details may not even work at all.
Give it a try

I've been running cyanogen 7 for a bit now and although the battery life isn't stellar it's definitely tolerable.

So my phone was all the way down to 15% and I had practice, so it was idle for 2 hours and when i looked at it it said it had 25% left. and then it was idle for another 20 min and it said it was 27%.
im just sayin
please share
is there any custom gingerbread rom with bloatware removed and big free ram? and a kernel with OC/UV? plus great game compability?
how about MIUI?
Have yet to find one to best DjangoMouche 1.2.1 its GB 2.3.4 its customized, with different themes to choose from and a good bunch of performance tweaks. everything has been running smooth.
games run well, things load fast
I'm using Gueste overclock v1.8.1 kernel but thats up to choice. i found it works great between 900 - 1300mhz. but above that its rebooted on me a few times.
You could try Temasek's CM7 Rom with it's own kernel, it has OC/UV and all that things.. Run's pretty smooth and stable but i can recommend you to use GO Launcher EX with an ICS Theme :good:

Have yet to find one to best DjangoMouche 1.2.1 its GB 2.3.4 its customized, with different themes to choose from and a good bunch of performance tweaks. everything has been running smooth.
games run well, things load fast
I'm using Gueste overclock v1.8.1 kernel but thats up to choice. i found it works great between 900 - 1300mhz. but above that its rebooted on me a few times.

I agree that DJ is one of the best ROMs...no doubt
but could i ask you why DJ 1.2.1 and not the DJ 1.5RC1....I am using the latest and it is more than a magical dream....out of the stars and heaven....I am curious why you are with an older version....

Currently on DJ 1.5RC1 and have to say it is truly magical.The feel of performance,smoothness and speed is just incredible.Always try to experiment with other GB roms and always drawn back to DJ ROM.DJ roms provide many choices according to our needs and customization as we like with transformation packs.So have to say this is the best choice i will ever have:cyclops:
Same here, Django Manouche, currently 1.5 RC1, but I am using latest spica kernel ;-)

Hi, this is my first post here. I have been flashing various roms and a few basebands and rils in my quest to get better battery life from my LG Optimus 2x. In the end. Most of what I have done is experimental and I can not say I understand much about versions and combinations. Last night, I read quite a few posts about the Django Manouche rom and downloaded all the three versions of the 1.6, the stock, the Spica and the Gueste.
Flashing led to boot looping on the Spica rom, powering off on the Gueste rom while on the stock 1.6s it ran OK, with some applications not running until I rebooted.
I came from a stock LG rom and was wondering if I need to change the baseband and kernel also, for these to work.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
I think these "best rom" threads are forbidden but I'll give my 2 cents anyway, in case I'm wrong:
for me the best rom is Gueste Hybrid revolutions 3.7, is a hybrid between stock Rom and cm7.2, and symbiosis kernel 1.3.
I get great performance, great battery life, great ram management. I can't really complain, I'm so satisfied that I'm not that eager to get ICS (at least not as much as I was before).
LG optimus 2x, rom Gueste Hybrid 3.7
@daas88. Taking your advice, I have flashed the same combination as you, just this morning. I have been very active on the phone since then, so I can't tell right away, if there is any improvement in battery life.
By the way, I continue to be on the 20i baseband.
I shall report back soon.
Temasek
Probably the cleanest install would be Temasek. A very stable CM7 build. It's sort of finished, and offers a great experience. Use it with Temasek's, Spica's or symbi0sis kernel.
I've tried DM and it's great, but this just feels cleaner.

I have been reading about the Temasek rom. What is your view on its battery consumption? That is something I am focussing on. The stock LG set up lasts for about 9-11 hours on my phone, with full 3G, about 4 hours of wifi usage and about 1-2 hour of music (Neutron music player). I have a battery pack that I carry with me to work, but it is a big bother.
So, basically, to me battery life is top priority. If I can extend it to 12-15 hours, I am home and dry.
I've used Temasek for a long period of time, and though I don't want to go back to gingerbread (currently on Paranoid Android) I do miss the battery life. With Temasek (or stock CM7) I would get about 32 hours of battery life: a day and a night. This with some browsing, playing music checking e-mail.
Overclocking would lose you some of that time, but the toggle2g app would win it back. :good:

i have cm7 135 from temasek but battery is not so great have bb 218 and ril its the best right now but battery hold max 3h screen on and with 15-17h on time, it sucks, so i want to try dj mouche v20s with bb and rill and hope to get better battery life....
because if a old galaxy s1 can get 1day easy and 4h++ screen on, the fricking lg must get some were neer also......

Increased CPU performance, larger screen and stagnated battery technology will do this
As for battery life, I do miss my Nokia 3210! :laugh:
A small update. I charged my phone to 100% yesterday evening at 7 PM. From then on till now, what I observe is that with the phone in standby mode, the battery consumption curve remains almost flat. But the moment I start using some apps, for instance the Number links game for 15-20 minutes, the battery level drops by 10%.
This is with the Gueste Hybrid ROM and the Symbiosis kernel.
Further update: The battery went to 14% and then I charged it. 15 hours. Some improvement. It may be too early to comment, but this set up seems to work superbly when the phone is on standby. When the phone is in use, the consumption seems to be high. Could it be improved by changing the BB or the ril?

The O2x doesn't have a larger screen than the Galaxy S. :cyclops:
my record was 6 hours of screen on time with a cm7 rom and etana kernel with ds battery driver. but now i cant get even 4h screen on time with the same config (only updated versions) :/
maybe my battery is getting worn out...

I'd try a new battery... I can get 8 hours screen on with wifi(depending on usage but screen and wifi on constantly). Temasek and symbi0sis...
