Best battery life in ICS - Huawei Ideos X6

Hi,
Just wondering which ICS rom you guys have got the best battery life out of?
I've tried AOKP Milestone 6 & CM9 20120727 both.
Must say the AOKP had better battery. Could easily cross 24+ hours

Rather than get upset, why don't you point him in the right direction Chris. Just give him the link to the post you think is relevant. Your a senior member what seems easy for you might be difficult for another. Pls just take it easy on the newbies and guide them right.
Nb: I know its annoying, I get upset too at the ridiculous post at times but I just try to keep my cool, we all should.
Cheers bro

I owe an apology that I have been to rough in my comments here and agree with wesleyel. It IS more important to guide rather than growl.
I might have forgotten my own postings and I might have more experience from several forums, so I should know better. Also, to our most welcome new members: Read, then read more. Search and use the varst source of information before you post. Many times the answer is right infront of you, or asked/posted earlier in the same thread. If you do look else where you will also benefit from picking up more that you can share, even solve some problems too.
I keep going on with this a bit because it makes it easier for all of us to get proper info faster without having to read about topics spilled all over the place.
Also, reflect a second over what you are asking about/for. Is there a possibility in getting a scientific and correct answere? Like battery backup i ty is very hard to reach such a result because of how we use and set our piece. Maybe you would like to ask around benchmarking instead and take part in how to set rules around this instead?
Just a bit if brain food and trying to be construtive around the subject of posting and such. Peace to all!

That post is for best custom ROM.
That can be different for different people. Some want ROM for gaming, others stability, others battery, other overall performance.
I was specifically interested in knowing about battery life as I have noticed that even with the same settings SetCPU, display etc each custom ROM gives a different battery output.
I travel a lot and battery life is very important for me.

[Q] Overclocking for Noobs?

Coming from a long user of iPhones, i find open source, amazing!
But here comes the next question, i'm running Serendipity 5.7, but my question is can I overclock with this ROM? But even before that, can someone give details on what "Overclocking" is? And what is the Pro/Cons of it?
Thanks!
im sorry, but if you dont know what overclocking is, then you dont need to do it.....overclocking is based on abilities in the kernel and your phone, *NOT* the rom
perhaps you need to do a little more reading about it first. all the info you need is already typed up and ready for you to read it....no need to make someone re-type it all because you dont want to research it.
Welcome to the android world.
Read the kernel threads.
Use google.
Yea I agree work the other posters. Overclocking is something that can actually damage any hardware. I have done my fair share of pc overclocking but works not mess around with it on my phone.for me the benefits are minor and mainly epen0r centered.
I would recommend a fair amount of research with at least captivate if not captivate and pc centered focus

WOW what a amazing couple of douche bags, here is a guy that wants no more than a bit of simple info and all you can do is give smart ass answers like read the threads. This should be a great forum but guys like you can't be a bit more kind to new guys. Great Job I'm surprised anyone comes to this forum with guys like you.
Reading is essential. XDA is a fantastic forum that will help you with your problems with an electronic smile, but you will avoid many annoyed users by simply using google. We were all new once, even though some of us may forget that, so we understand your curiosity about the captivate because it is a great phone. But like I said, almost every problem us on the web somewhere.
P.s. Welcome to XDA!

Like I said above it is good to know there are a few people willing to help out new users (like myself). I did do some googling and know the basics of overclocking, but like stated before, I want opinions and details. Hopefully more helpful people like you two will come along!
P.S. People are contradicting and ignorant. I'm sure they were asking the same questions when they were introduced to overclocking and other new ideas. Ha, we all know karma is a ... and it will give people what they deserve!
EDIT: Also for all of you who say I should google before posting, maybe if you read my question correctly, I asked for details, not a general idea on it.

not here, dude. i read. and read A LOT. there wasnt much need to ask questions that there were already answers for, and easily available to me.
FWIW: i am not trying to be mean....but all the info is already out there...and plenty of topics already covering this EXACT subject
Well from what i understand, overclocking is dependent upon the kernel you are running. But also the processor in the phone. What overclocking essentially does is make the CPU speeds a bit faster. Say for example, the captivate is clocked at 1ghz processor speed, if you were to overclock it you could increase speed by 20% or even 40% on our phone. You just need to find the right kernel. However, this may damage your phone, and can take a hard hit on your battery. You can play around with it and experience it for yourself. And welcome to XDA btw

Yeah fine maybe I should have done a little more research, but to be honest, I did do researching and I do know the general idea on overclocking. I will give you that. But maybe it may sound ignorant, but I don't feel like reading X amount of threads and posts to learn the same thing over and over again when I want specifics.
Sorry if that sounds not professional, but I'm sure many will agree with me that they don't have enough time to go through all these posts. My bad.

Thank you. Finally someone who actually responded to the question!
Just a question though to make sure (since I have read different answers), are there apps to overclock? Or does each kernel need it's own way of overclocking?

Umm i think you can use an app called SetCPU which is on the market for $2.00
I'm not 100% sure on that one though

Okay thanks!
I wasnt trying to be rude but really, reading is essential. Check out one of the oc kernel threads and you need to read it. If you cannot spend the time to do at least that, then I promise you will get frustrated. Questions that are as vague as your op will not get you the answers you are looking for.
And as far as being a douche, I spend a lot of time helping people, both here and in irc channels, but people really need to show some initiative by asking specific questions that demonstrate some research has been done.
Edit....don't use setcpu. Use the voltage control app that is specifically designed for use with the kernels. This can normally be found in the kernel thread op.

And I am looking right now in the Kernel Threads. I will have to find some time to do this. But thanks for your help!

Thanks for realizing your mistake, the reason there are countless upon countless threads of information, is precisely what you did. asking a VAGUE question(asking for details on a BROAD topic is vague, as there are many parts that have details.) thats easily answered with basic research. \

Dont worry about people getting irritated with you, everyone on here gets mad sometimes, when I first joined, I asked LOTS of vague questions, tried to help people even though I knew nothing, and flipped out after my phone got soft bricked. The three most worst things a new person on XDA could do LOL. As long as you dont do those things or things like this, people (usually)won't toss insults your way, but sometimes people are just in a bad mood.
EDIT: The results of overclocking are debatable. Some people will swear by it while others will swear against. By making your processing system go faster than it should, you increase the chance of it burning out. Personally, I have tried overclocking and you really can't see the difference unless you have the scores side by side, but I did notice a difference with lagfix, which is much safer. If you want to overclock, get a compatable kernel, and the apps: voltage control and setCPU. Voltage control helps you overclock and undervolt (essential to OCing if you want your battery to last) and setCPU helps you control where you want your top top speed to be. But beware, because the faster and longer the overclocking, the more problems arise. I suggest trying it out, if you like it, great! If not, read up on lagfixes, and try those out.

[Q] Yoobao portable backup battery

Hi guys Im not sure if this is where i should be asking my question , so by all means plz feel free to move this post if need be.
Ok so to my inquiry I recently purchased a portable backup battery from ebay (Yoobao YB-631 - 6600mah) & am woundering if anyone else has brought or had previous experiences with this battery & company that could shed some light for me?
Im curious to know about things like how reliable it is , how much more battery time & juice users have gotten from it.
I realize that when i get the item my results in battery time/status will probaly vary compared to other users & am not expecting similar results , Im more just looking for some insight on the item.
Anway Ill stop there for now & all tips , info & anything else anyone provides will be greatly appericated.
Thanks guys!

Ok 2 days now & still no info? Bump.
ridiculous!
Well yet again im dissapointed with the lack of help & communication around these forums this making it my 2nd time now , i dono if ppl are plain straight out ignorant as i thought my inquiry/question was fairly straight foward & understandable but each time this happens im slowly becoming more discouraged from using these forums or recomending them to anyone or friends for the simple fact it doesnt serve or reflect well back to the site.
Yeh im having whinge after waiting more then a week only to realize my question was seemingly ignored..
It seems as though around here no one really gives about anyone else just as long as you get what you want.
WTF do you want, what's your problem?
If nobody had that battery then that's that.
You can't expect people to have this battery just because you ordered it... if no one here has any comments you have to expect no replies and maybe post your own review when you have tested it instead of whining about no answers!

WTF's my problem? Asshats like you perhaps? As you'd gather I dont like been cursed at.
2ndly as stated my problem was seeming like my question was ignored is the part that somwhat annoyed me , as you think somone would have stated what you was quiet rude about much earlier then dragging it out for over a week.Then its funny the next comment somone made after yours i didnt find so rude & kinda more helpful meaning you were the only one so far who felt it necesoray to be rude why is that? nvm your an ass!
Sortout your isues mate. Obviously no one has this battery pack.

Sort out my issues? As you can see from my begining post i had asked nicely & after not getting anything i bumped it & what do you know wow after 11 days or so guess what? still no response! Yeh i made i comment about been dissapointed as i was & still am & now instead of getting any advice all ppl wont to do is accuse you of having issues because i got somwhat frustrated after begging for any input & was more or less still left in the dark.
Nice to see ppl twist stuff around & try to claim you have issues over been frustrated about asshats that wont give u any input.Do me a favor sort out yours & let me know then ill think about working on mine.
The question is... what do you expect?
In your case, do you answer every thread although you don't have any idea about what are asking?
I've readed the thread, yeah, and I hadn't replied to it because I have no ****ing idea and I don't know how to help you.
Extend this to the whole forum... It's necessary a man who answer the unanswered therads only for calm-the-asker purposes?
Take it easy, please.
from specs... what you should get...
Product page here seems it's a big lantern with USB out.. probably it will last you 2-3 recharge cycles at quite slower speed (800mA max) from a wall recharger 1000mA...
This is what I would expect from this battery... if you get 4 charges out of it I would be extremely happy...
Now... you should of asked this question on a more general forum, there is a slim chance that another user here has the same, or another torch with USB for charging a phone... I use the cars's USB port for charging over long distances, and if you keep an eye open the phone should last you a good 2-3 days so it's not really needed...
..or you could simply google it "Yoobao battery review"...it yielded several hits with things that you might need.
or do a search here and you'll find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522146&page=2
it might not be exactly the same but gives you an overview of the battery.
a little search wouldn't hurt.

[Q] Galaxy Ace Roms?

Hey all!
This question as probably been asked a dozen times but I can't find it if it has. So here goes, Is there a list somewhere of UP TO DATE SGA roms? By up to date I mean current as of 09-17-12. I found one on here and props to the user that compilled it but it was last updated March 2012. These roms develop so quick I'd love to be able to keep track of them all I just don't have the time to search through all the threads and forums. Better yet, is there a way to sort the threads based on the thread type? That way it could be grouped by kernel, rom, etc..Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated.
its not the updation matters for a rom.. its all about stability and what and all you expect..
some expect performance and battery life..
some expect cool looks..
its not that updated rom works perfectly always.. sometimes even updates spoil the rom...
so read the whole thread of the rom. replies from peoples.. and then decide on it..
if u tell ur expectations may be we can suggest u the rom
HugoSilva started a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888660
Samsung Galaxy Ace ROM`sthread but got a little bit flamed because all Cooper roms and kernels are already in one of two places: the development section and the original development section. The thread titles in these sections often tell you about the rom like kernel, base, version etc. What you don't get from the title you can definitely get from the op. You don't have to search just scroll, but I would suggest to you that if you are too busy / lazy to search then xda might not be the best forum for you.
I have tried pretty much every rom and if you tell me what you are looking for in a rom I would be happy to give you my opinion on the most suitable for you needs.

The Myth 2 would be perfect for u as it gives good performance battery life n stability! even the looks are cool! moreover u can send msgs of 4 or above pages as in stock or other roms it is converted into mms! hit thnx if helpd
Thanks for alll the replies guys!
I guess I wasn't making myself clear, it's not that I mind searching/scrolling it's just that with all the threads in here it would be easier to be able to sort them based on type. For instance, if it's a rom it's usually stated as such in the thread title. great that's easy! But, what about being able to sort the thread list so all the "ROM" threads are sorted into one spot? Kinda like a library you know? U go to 900s for Science 800s for sports etc. Same Idea here. I don't see a sort by title/Subject option. only date, which is great but you also get kernels and other stuff mixed in.. Just some thoughts to make things easier for everyone that's all. As far as being called "Lazy" I resent that! If you can't take the time and consideration to answer a simple question without the insults then maybe this forum isn't the place for YOU. Just remeber, you were new at this stuff too at one time and probably had a lot of questions too.

Calm down, mate. I didn't say you were lazy. I said if. And maybe you are too busy! It was not meant to insult you. Yes, I was new at this and I'm certainly no expert but I haven't ever felt the need to start a new thread in 15 months of reading xda (I read for a long time before I signed up) because all the questions I ever wanted to ask have already been asked. If you don't believe me check my profile. I have tried to help you as I do everyone on xda.
If you want all the rom threads organised in a certain way, help yourself. If you think it would be helpful to the xda community post it on here but, as I tried to explain, other people have tried. It is a lot of work to maintain because things change all the time and people expect a thread like that to be up to date. Good luck.
Also, if you are new, as you say, may I suggest that you click the links in my signature as there are good hints and tips for new members.
I'm sorry you didn't find my first reply helpful. I'm sorry if this is not helpful either but both were sent without malicious intent.

A Knowledge Base thread

Hi guys, may i speak a little bit of my mind?
I've been on XDA for quite a moment now, forget about not contributing to any development please , and i do know one very simple ground rule: SEARCH!!!!!!
But from my time here i realise searching for something and getting the right answer here on XDA does requires getting the keywords right + if to minimise the scope,search in the right forum and thread. The experience is not something Google offers.
Thus alot of times this has happened to myself, especially newbies, forget or skips searching every single forums and threads, looking through a 40 page thread just for the 1 sentence answer. And the result, lots of angry 'old birds' and mods.
Thus can i suggest setting up some kind of Knowledge Base forum or thread? This KB will the centralise of all the essence of developments, bugs, fixes that exists in this forum modified by a Mod/Admin only. Something like a library.
Having a Knowledge Base will really be helpful to (budding) developers as well as technology leechers like me :laugh: It reduces effort wasted on searching high and low to the lesser extend, but really dealing REPEATIVELY to replying the same old questions with the same old answer. Just tell people to look at the knowledge base and that's it, no more reason and cause to post repeatative questions. It is different to the stickies existing now. Users still has to look page by page for their answer.
Ok I shall end my whine here now. Thanks for allowing me let off my mind.

Just tell people to look at the knowledge base and that's it, no more reason and cause to post repeatative questions. It is different to the stickies existing now. Users still has to look page by page for their answer.
Ok I shall end my whine here now. Thanks for allowing me let off my mind.

Sounds like a good idea.I think you're free to set up a thread like this, where you cover the most important questions and deliver some troubleshooting.
good idea,+1
from experience i know that using any search system can be daunting without correct (key)words so great idea +1:good :good:
Its a good idea. But then, its not like we have tons of roms out. And its not like we have that many bugs on the phone.

Yes. but my point of having it managed and maintained solely by a mod/admin is for the knowledge base not to be 'polluted' by questions and answers. Kinda like a locked thread.

Understand. Perhaps this idea can be utilised at other places of XDA or the entire XDA which im sure with all materials centralised and summerised into a mega knowledge base will be very very awesome.
I think a FAQ can helpful and it will sure help new people.
Creating a KB can be a heavy time consuming job even though we don't many roms.

Every new users or users that isn't active should be forced to watch the "You are a Noob" video till the END the first ten times they try to post a comment...
Then there would be no excuse not to search before asking dumb questions that have been answered a thousand times..

Thank You to A great developer for a great ROM DjangoManoucheX by carburano

I did not know of carburano's work with the LG Optimus 2X for GB but with ICS I do have to say I really appreciate the time and effort he has put into the development. His thread in the development section is one of the most read and posted thread. I believe it is almost as large as the JB threads and in some cases larger. Even his old GB thread is still being posted to and growing monstrous in size.
I have tried to keep up with his ICS thread but it is so hard with the large number of posts everyday, some seeming to be constant repeats of previously asked questions or small replies to others. In some cases people just quote someone else and add lol. Everything I see points to carburano being very dedicated and committed to his work and followers. I can understand the difficulties he has sifting through the posts looking for good feedback and positive replies to his hard work. I am certain that he reads over every post and each one takes up some of the time he sets aside for us all.
Being such a large and popular thread I was surprised not to see more threads on DjangoManoucheX (yes I even used the search feature) where people would discuss everything from how a particular ril performs to which baseband people are using with his rom. But than again without them being started by the creator of this fabulous rom few people may take them seriously and in some cases may not take the time to search for them.
@carburano thank you for breathing life into my phones have never worked better. I have 3 LG2X's and some nights I may install roms with different kernels to see how they work for a few days, taking note of particular things I like better than others and how things are implemented. I enjoy this type of playing with the phones, I spent many years as a electronics and computer technician and finding something that keeps me this excited is beyond words to explain. Yet after many tests I keep coming back to your rom as the standard.
Please take the popularity of your thread and rom as I hopefully believe it is meant to be, a positive show of how much everyone appreciates your work. Some people may get over excited like kids in a candy store waiting for the store keeper to restock the shelves and sometimes this may lead to them typing to fast or some things lost in translation. Seeing your work and any new release you put out is like Christmas time all over again.
I would have tried to post this on the DM rom thread as I could find no other thread praising your work but 2 things stopped me
1. I am new so can not. I have lurked in the shadows for to long watching and
2. I need to try and figure out what the "on topic" topic's are. So hopefully in the general area is where I should put this.
Thank You again carburano I believe things could not be better with you keeping the phone and your followers so well looked after.
Heya, I'm glad you liked his ROMs but the thing is carburano is not a developer, he is a "rom cooker". . He "cooks" a rom using the preferences/addons/themes etc.. he likes.
Other than that, I support this post. I think he is a great contributor to this community.
thanks carburano.
Thanks
I appreciate the clarification in terminology. I am behind and need to catch up some.
My main goal was to try and express my gratitude and maybe others for the work he puts in to make our life and phones better and easier.
Hello...
Carburano is a great cooker, and even so good that we could say developer, at least he's able to give Roms as good as he was a 'developer'.. And a good person as far as I 'know' him
But the community deceived me a lot theses days because they didn't really understand the meaning of XDA and of what he is doing, for FREE.
He would not provide his update to everyone because some have though his thread was a general/Q&A thread... and what some replied ?! "Ok, no problem, we don't care, if you don't provide us a even better Rom every week we switch to an other". But boys tell me, what's are the problems that 'everybody' encounter with the 1.4 ? It is fully and absolutely working, stock based and theme with a kernel that LG was dreamimg to build but wasn't even able to.
So what do theses guys want... every developer deserve respect for what they are giving to our phone which was at the beginning made for the developer's phone only, so you can't complain of anything about what Carburano is doing
@Carburano: Thank a lot for what you gave us, giving our old phone an extended life
R: Thank You to A great developer for a great ROM DjangoManoucheX by carburano
I'm sorry but i cannot continue with this environment, i've stolen many days to my private life not to hear that i must release soon otherwise i'm an id***... I prefer to continue dmx privately and if things will be fine i will give you links. I promised to avoid open a new thread for my roms and i will keep this promise. Ciao guys. This is it

A sad day it is.
When we take something for granted that was given for free and than expect to be treated like we paid for it.
carburano and other developers / chef's / cookers already have enough things to do with there own life that their free time and evenings should be spent doing the things they love because they want to and not because people try to make them feel bad about not giving all their time to one thing.
I have stayed off forums on many different websites and out of the conversation because I am more than happy to patiently wait for the next release or happy to work out all the bugs that I can on my own before I bother anyone, but now it is to late I should have joined earlier if for nothing else than to click on the thanks button.
@carburano because of the great work I have seen in your rom it has peaked my curiosity to maybe give it a try myself and see what I can do with my phones. It is a good thing there are high quality developers and chefs on XDA that I can try to seek guidance from. I would expect there are alot of people who do create their own custom roms but also keep them private to avoid the stress that seems to be taking over.
I learned from playing addictive online games that Real Life takes priority and you need to take the time to ensure it does not slip past you while you look at the computer screen.
No problem man.. You are absolutly true, the community have been really disrespectful towards you and your life that we all know very busy, and I really hope that your decision will make some minds change..
Again, thank for your work..
Hi carburano, i really reeeally reeeeeeeally love your work on DMX. I always come back to your rom when i try others rom's. That speed, smoothnes, battery life.
Well, now its over because some idiot's. :banghead:
But if you relese newer version's of your DMX, can you please send me links?

Take the advice of your quote and live well, your work speaks for itself. If you decide to share any further work I know there are dedicated people who are more than willing to provide positive feedback to what works and does not work. My wife gets mad at me when I change her phone because I see something I want to test out on it so I will have to just keep playing with my other 2 LG2X's for now.

Not for me. I want my O2X to live forever.
I've just had my power button replaced, and I'm even considering buying a new battery for it just so I can make it feel new.
Welll guys...
Life goes on.....
Thx Carbo,one more time...
:good:
Carbru bro what I am seeing this?

Man, this is sad because of a few stupid guys, we lose a great dev like you ! :crying:
I've been a fan from your first ICS release, I loved your jokes during install, like the cookie recipe and the fake windows install !
Now I have DM X1.2 and can't update anymore
Can you send a link for us who enjoyed all your hard work ? :good:
Thanks for your time and work Carburano, don't let stupid people upset you !
But Carburano, why so many of us have to be punished this way like the bad ones? I'm still at Stock 2.3, when I see the news about DjangoManouche X 1.5 I see the perfect rom to my phone. I just hope some day I can use your rom, because to me, your rom seem to be the best one. We will miss you man!

Hey mate,
I do have one suggestion which you might want to try.
Create an Q&A or userthread in the general section, where people can post more freely.
Add big fat red lines at your op stating that every kind of offtopic needs to get posted there and only posts for bug reports etc. are allowed in your dev thread.
Then consequently report users who break the ground rules.
If someone does it continuously ask the mods if they could hand him an infraction.
This forum is about development and contributions - not about dumbasses who can't keep their mouth shut and think they need to clutter threads in the development section.

I tried to find Waldo and failed
Well I looked in the official release thread for DM 1.5 link and I think I found the post where carburano had placed his link but I think it has already been removed or maybe moved to a new post due to the problems that thread was having. No one wanted to be subjected to the same problems he was having. That is sorting through all the extra off topic posts.
For some people I hope it opened their eyes to the problem, for others all they could do was complain about it even though carburano posted the exact page where he shared.
I'am happy playing with 1.4 it works great.
@carburano good job in the way you posted the link, if even a few people now think twice before they post threads or where they post them I would say you accomplished the task of educating them.
I will keep looking in my spare time, maybe get lucky one day.
I need link for Dm1.5?Thnks.
