Root Homeless Kernel 1.0

8 1/2 hrs and still 73% left. This is streaming Pandora for about 7 of those hours, about 2 hrs total of 4g web browsing, 37 texts, 14 min phone call, and updating 2 apps on 4g. Pretty damn nice so far.

Edit: Stock battery.

i'm just going to go ahead and say what we're all thinking: you're a dirty liar lol
 
I'm lucky to have 25% battery left after 8.5 hrs... and that's with it just sitting on the desk as a paper weight - no talk, text, GPS, BT, 4G, wifi, or even a LWP. lol
(I keep all no-essentials frozen until needed)

8 1/2 hrs and still 73% left? I wish I had a nuclear battery... (jk)
;)
 
Just installed it on the LD ICS ROM, it went to the LG screen, and re booted from there about 3 times, before it actually went through. I go to setCPU, and the max can only go up to 528MHz. Why? :/

It goes to 1024. Running that as the default max setting now. Maybe clear data in setcpu and try again? I think mine was reading lower when I first opened setcpu but I just moved the slider to 1024 and then set my profiles.
 
I went from 92 (didn't get a full charge..) Slacker radio.. Yahoo'n.. Heavy use.. 18 percent lefT after almost nine hours.. Still running 2x battery but seems to save a lot.. All I've changed was went homeless lol
 
How do I know if its even flashed I tried twice and kernal look the same I'm using the new rom ics/gse hybrid
 
yeah im getting bootloops as well...hopefully i can get it going since it managed to click for you

Just download on your computer and move to your sd card. As I commented earlier, it took me three downloads to get it right. It might have been mediafire; but there is a link to 4shared now, I would try it.

As a side note... The past couple times I downloaded and installed from my phone, it didn't work. That is why I recommend downloading on a computer. Some may think otherwise, but better safe than sorry. ;)
 
Your battery stinks so everyone else's battery stinks too, no one can have a better batt than you right? Please... I fell asleep last night so I didnt get a screenshot but Ill post one today.

I am 18hrs texting web streaming and games my phones runs good ics theme mod rom its great LG optimizer works wonders thank y'all very much
 
Well I just completed the my first day, I used it a bit more in a restaurant, Google goggles, web browsing etc and it ended up being 18hours on my 1500mAh battery. As far as roms, just try and let me know if it works correctly by posting back here. I think they all work. I just happen to be using GingerSteem1.0 + homeless + lg esteem optimizer as my test platform

No, no. I don't personally mean that our battery sucks , sarcastic enough we though that would be really impressed yet also hard to believe a stock battery with 4g heavy use on it as you stated. That's all.

I mean I even have screen shots with my phone lasting 2days and still having 26% ( I think ) but that is with wise usage, just texts, few calls , little use of 4G and surfing . Of course that's the extended battery
 
I lasted 30.5 hours from 100%-1% from Monday night a 6P to this morning at ~12:30A. OEM Extended battery and that was okay usage but not ridiculous. Will post a ScreenShot with ScreenCast next time I am about to charge.
 
The optimizer app doesn't recognize my phone as a LG esteem, I'm on ics-hybrid


The rom probably changed your phone make and model in Build.prop. Maybe they wanted to put a different name in there just because. Unless they have a legitimate reason for doing this I'd request it to be changed back. You can edit the values yourself too.

Ill post em in a bit
 
For the Optimizer, is there any chance we can get an option to mute the sound? I hate having to mute my phone before I adjust settings at work. Great stuff, keep it up! Thanks!
