Root Bugless Beast Rom Version 1.0 is Out!

I've been on BB1.0 for about a week and a half now, and I've been really enjoying it so far.

Something odd happened yesterday though. My phone was just sitting on my desk idle and all of a sudden it rebooted itself, then proceeded to reboot twice more after just barely making it to the home screen each time. Fortunately (since I was at work and didn't have time to mess with it) it has behaved itself ever since.

One more thing - I think I'm having the cell standby issue. I've been listening to music today for close to two hours but haven't used the phone for much more than that, and my cell standby is dominating my battery usage at 26%, and rising. It looks like every time I wake my phone up the 3G is around 1 - 0 bars, but then after I unlock it it jumps to 3 or 4. I updated to the 3P baseband a few days ago, would that have something to do with it? My coverage seems better after the update, but something doesn't seem right. Unfortunately I never paid much attention to the cell standby percent before installing BB, so I may be way off base just posting this here.

Anyway, thanks in advance.
 
i tried this rom right away and was experiencing bad battery life now im bouncing back and forth between roms i really want to try this again i have a question

i saw this somewhere

If you look in the /system/xbin folder you'll see a file named "Pete" that automatically kills off setcpu and regulates processor usage for On Demand as Pete mentioned. Delete this file if you're not going to run one of Pete's kernels or if you want setcpu to do the work manually.

is the above correct and do you think that will help my battery issue because i choose to use setcpu
 
Has anyone had any problems with GPS not getting a lock and just running in the background?

For the past few days both Shopsavvy and Beautiful widgets will just keep the GPS active. According to the battery usage both Shopsavvy and Beautiful widgets used 40% of the battery in 6 hours and the GPS was active in both programs for 1 hour 35 minutes. I know Shopsavvy always pings the GPS to get a location in the background but Beautiful Widgets doesn't have the GPS option ticked so I don't know why it's using it in the first place. When I try to open the maps after this happens Maps won't get any kind of location, GPS or aGPS and I have to reboot the phone before it works again.
 
Don't know if it will help your battery life but you don't need to delete the whole file. You'll lose some other tweaks. If you use root explorer you can edit the file on the phone.
Just remove the echo cpu stuff and the buysbox muhuang.overclocking so it looks like this.

Code:
#!/system/bin/sh


echo "2560,3840,6400,17920,19200,20480" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 
sleep 42s
busybox killall -q com.cooliris.media
busybox killall -q com.android.mms
busybox killall -q com.android.email
busybox killall -q com.motorola.calendar
busybox killall -q android.process.media
busybox killall -q com.android.deskclock
busybox killall -q com.android.bluetooth
busybox killall -q com.google.android.apps.uploader
busybox killall -q com.android.voicedialer
busybox killall -q com.google.android.voicesearch
busybox killall -q com.android.settings
busybox killall -q com.android.calendar
busybox killall -q com.google.android.apps.maps:FriendService
busybox killall -q com.google.android.gm
busybox killall -q com.amazon.mp3
busybox killall -q com.android.im
busybox killall -q android.process.im
busybox killall -q com.android.music
I also removed the lowmemorykiller part because the free ram settings were causing my launcher to redraw almost every time.

When you save and exit it will also create a pete.bak so you have the original file.

Stupid question--I've been running Pete's ESE53 0.8, looking to move to the ESE81 V1, but I'm seeing a lot about Clockwork Mod--I've had SPRecovery since I rooted my Droid, where can I get Clockwork? Marketplace? or elsewhere?

Thanks!
 
download rom manager from the market.

Download ROM Manager in the Market and there's a button at the top that will flash ClockworkMod recovery for you (and, if you ever want to go back to SPRecovery, there's a button for that, too). You don't need to pay for the Premium version to flash Clockwork, but I think it's worth spending the money for Premium to unlock all of its great features.

EDIT: Ah, Pfilly -- ya beat me to it!
