I got about 16-18 hours with RC1 and about 10-12 hours with your kernel.
I am using #6, and my minfrees = 6,8,22,24,26,26mb
thats a pretty big drop in baterry time, are you setup exactly as you were on RC1
I wonder if other people are getting the same results, and if so, is the speed boost worth it
I would imagine that using link2sd will drain battery since it acceses the sdcard so much, are you using it now, and were you using it on RC1
that is the one I loaded up .. i went with the Balanced 3 settings to start , saw it was what was suggested in a tutorial for the script, so will see what happens.
Has anyone tried the 3g or kernel tweak scripts from that dev yet??
After a couple days on this ROM I am getting about the same battery life as I was before switching , maybe a small bit less .. but I still go 2 days without having to charge so that is good for me

I would agree so far battery has not been dramatically affected. If I am seeing a drop it is just a few hours, and I get over a day, that is heavier then normal use so far.

thanks... the tutorial i read said not to... rerunning script now..
How do you get over a day?! The best I've gotten is about 18 hours with using gmail, a little internet and a few calls during the day.
I am using link2sd, but I was using that with RC1 also. I'll see how things go the next couple days, but the improvement in performance has been worth the decrease in battery life so far. Everything is much smoother, especially web pages.
Ok I Tried Out The Rom. Kernel ETC. & It Runs Official & Very Stable Here...
But The Only Prob That Im Having Is How To Actually Push The Shabbymod To The Phone, When Using The New EXT4 Partition U Created....
Basically The Shabbymod Comes Pre-Installed On It & I Have Altered The Shabbyrom Up With Updated Apps I Use, Change Up The Fonts & Also Created My Own Theme To My Likings & Would Usually Push Them To The System Using The Shabby.bat Or Through ADB Commands.
How Do U Go About Pushing The Changed Up Files & Rom Frameworks, Fonts, Media, Etc That I Have Altered To Get Pushed EXT4 Partition Correctly????
Sending It Normally Through The Original Shabby.bat Will Not Work With The EXT4....

edit the bat file and look for lines like this
adb.exe shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
and change it to
adb.exe shell mount -o remount,rw -t auto /dev/stl12 /system
I Had Actually Edited The .Bat File But Made A Mistake Where U Mentioned. Ill Def Try The Way U Posted.
Had It Like So:
I Had Figured Entering The Ext Would Work But It Didnt. It Just Kept Looping The Samsung Screen.
Thanks Again For The Help & Quick Responds... Keep Up The Good Work. Your Work Is Def Coming Along & Well Appreciated....

What I did was change blood's 3.0 script as posted by hroark to work on ext4, then changed his theme info and added in the mods I wanted with the shabbymod, the only thing I wasn't able to do was remove the excess in shabbymod that I dont want, I did that manually before flashing bloods simple green3.0

Part of the reason I get better battery is I keep sync off unless or until I need it.
If you have a need to get email instantly then that wont work but sync takes up battery quickly.
I keep wifi on, I keep bluetooth,gps,and sync off until needed and I keep screen brightness up all the way.
I didnt use link2sd long enough to find out if it was a battery drain, I got worse internal space using it then by doing it my own way and performance was impacted, though not by much. and could even have been just my perception of it.
battery will also be dependent on your signal strength if your phone is searching for strong enough signal all day it will not do so well.
hmm that should have worked too

here is the init.rc showing the ext4 file system and notice the royal v2 themed top bar

yes, i added those ext4 lines to the init.rc
it will try to mount rfs first, then try ext4, i probably could have did it as auto, but at the time I was unaware of the auto parameter

Ya, it works, and I think it works well. The reason I posted the pic (you know they are worth a 1000 words
) is to show im actually on your set up and with the older theme. The way I did used bloodawn's theme flasher which worked very well I might add. Ya, it works, and I think it works well. The reason I posted the pic (you know they are worth a 1000 words

your welcome. I just changed it with the newer information by hroark so now it will work with any file system.

its a screen shot program you can use .... just look up screen shot in the market there a bunch of them

A more step by step that I did, by the way like hroark I hate writing so if grammer is bad dont say I didnt warn you.
in simple green you have the system files with apps in, I replaced the theme apps with the theme I want, then added all the apps I wanted to pass into /system/app, for you they may be different then for me but a quick example would be my fav launcher, or speedboost, or my fav browser. you get the idea. So in his theme flasher I have added my apps into the /system/app folder
In the /system media I put my boot animation, and music ringtone choice.
Also I put my modified build.prop that is just in /system no folder that is the simple explanation.
