Root Who's used Koush's ROM?

A new version of Rom Manager is now in the market with a new ClockWork recovery (many changes!!!). You can now use the camera button to select (don't need the keyboard), it now downloads roms, and it downloaded 5.0.4.3! I have just flashed and have not found a change log yet. I will keep you posted...
 
after stopping use of the LWP it seems to have picked up. so yeah, maybe i will dial it back to 5 screens, we will see

for those of you who are having stability problems, how did you flash the rom? I am asking because I went the clockwork mod recovery way and I have no issues with stability, battery life doesnt seem to be a big issue either for me, I have been streaming pandora for a few hours while web browsing on wifi and its at 60% right now, took it off the charger at 9:00 am

I flashed with Clockwork every time. Stability sucked with JIT on, but without it, stability is not the problem, it's just general goofiness and decreased battery life from Droid ESE ROMs that turned me off.
 
So I've got a question guys:

I've noticed that on the past couple ROMs that I've used, Ultimate 6.3, BB v1.1 and now this, I've noticed that throughout the day, my phone just shuts off. Does anyone know wtf this may be from? This is not something that I can deal with because what if an important call comes in, and my damn phone has shut off? Or, if it shuts off over night when I'm expecting to hear my alarm go off in the morning and it doesn't?

Anyways, if anyone has any idea I would really appreciate it. One thing I have noticed is that when I pull my phone out of my pocket, it seems rather warm, which is weird, because I have my setCPU to 550/250 when in standby. Thanks in advance!

Oh also, any reason why when I go into my ROM Manager, everything is grayed out again, except for Flash ClockwordMod Recovery?

My phone used to shut off sometimes, but that was when I was running JIT. I've since disabled it and not had that problem.

As for ROM manager, everything is greyed out because you need the latest version of Clockwork recovery to do any of the other functions.



On an unrelated note, I just flashed 5.0.4.3. Hardly any differences, but one I've noticed is that the wallpapers are back :D

I used Clockwork recovery this time, but I don't suspect it will make any difference from doing a clean install using SP.

I don't think you're going to notice any difference. I used Clockwork every time I reflashed the ROM, but I tried it once before reverting to BB with SPRecovery just to see if it worked. No differences in actual performance that I could decipher.
 
Clockwork recovery is much better now and has a status bar and it shows you what files are being backed up. I haven't gotten the new ROM flashed yet but I will let yall know how it is later tonight or tomorrow morning after I have tried it out for awhile.
 
Man I might give it a go again.. Id o miss some of the features.. but I wonder if doing the CM recovery will be better for my battery.. with BB 0.8 the Phone has been off charger since 6am (13h 30m) and I am just at 50% battery. which I think was close to the same with 5.0.4.2
 
Just read this over at CyanogenMod:

(CELL STANDBY FIX)

"Seems as if there is some sort of bug with with Cell standby that causes the phone to lose signal which in turns just kills the battery. To verify that your set has the problem, check the Cell standby info in the Battery Use info. If the Time without a signal is higher than 0% (50% seems to be the norm) than you have a problem One solution, at the moment, is to follow these steps

1. Plug in phone charger

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone"


Not sure Of the validity... but some people are saying it fixed the issue... assuming it hasn't already been posted here.


;)
 
Some say you don't even need to use the wall charger.. just the airplane mode switch on then off

maybe that is want was doing it to my battery yesterday

I did try that. It didn't seem to have any effect on the battery usage or life. Then again, my cell standby wasn't huge in the first place, but it was definitely higher than it should have been.
 
Mmmm...1.2GHz:

Do you guys think he'll eventually add actual DROID benefits to the ROM? Like the Defualt HQ hack, HQ Video Recording Tweak, Disabled default ring delay of 3 seconds, and other stuff like that?

Things that are specifically for the DROID AND ONLY THE DROID. Like I love this ROM, but I feel like it has everything but those added goods, stuff that pete and Chevy has that I wish were added. Is he working on adding those?

Add this to the list of things I'd like to see added: Longer Duration Between Wifi Scans Tweak *Battery Saver*
 
I ran Koush's 1.0.2 for several days with no problems then went to the 5.0.4.2 hoping to find more features/improvements. Well 5.0.4.2 had stability issues. 5.0.4.2 seemed to run much slower than the 1.0.2. The "live wallpapers" would stop being "live"--they would suddenly "die"/become a static image. I didn't pay attention whether or not JIT was enabled on either ROM but I did notice that 1.0.2 was OC'd at 1 Ghz and 5.0.4.2 was OC'd at 600 Mhz. I tried OC'ing 5.0.4.2 to 1 Ghz but it didn't seem to help.

I initially had battery life issues with 1.0.2 until my second full charge on the ROM. I was able to get close to 2 full days out of a single charge on 1.0.2. I have reverted to 1.0.2 for now--haven't really ran into any issues/bugs.

Yeah...that's nice. I'm guessing these scores are with JIT enabled? How is the stability?

I turned it off after I benchmarked. JIT is so fickle. It held up to all my benchmarking, but will randomly soft reboot while I'm listening to music or launching an app?

I just wanted to show off a little :D
