If it takes long to charge, chances are you have more than one MicroUSB charger around the house. Pick the one with the highest mA rating. The one that comes with the phone charges at a normal rate, others will charge MUCH slower.
The LG one is about .7 Amps, typical non-smart phones have .2 Amps. If you can find greater than .7 then it will probably charge even faster.

I have about 10 chargers ranging from samsung to generic to lg chargers, most say output 5.1v .7 amps.
some 5.1v 350ma - up to 1A I even have one here that says 5.2v 1000ma
maybe I will try it on that one.

Right now with GingerSteem 1.0 and Homeless...I am at 58% last full charge 1d 0h 5m 35s ago. Standard battery with light usage 4g/WiFi.

Thats awesome. It seems to coincide with my theory that batteries are definately not created equal. I'm testing a 3600mAh battery (supposedly), It's been 13 hours and i'm at 64% left.
stock is 1500mAh.
The stock battery should give me only 42% of what the extended battery should be giving me. If this was the case, i should have at least 1 day's use when it reaches 50%. It's still possible but I'm not so sure yet. How many mAh is you battery and is it an LG brand?
are you also using any other apps that affect battery? Because as record breaking as I was for getting 25Hrs out of a stock battery, what you're saying is that you're doubling that, i'd love to see some screenshots too.

Is this what you wanted to see? I am using the standard stock battery that came with the phone. Now 42% left. Apps used Lg Optimizer Chuch Norris, Heap 48, nothing else that I can think of. Only widget is Beautiful Weather.

Can you click the battery grid and post the detailed graphic screen?
this is amazing. I don't think your battery is stock though, that's like what an extended battery gives. I'd love to see a photo of the actual battery haha.. You if mine was atomic, yours must have been made by ancient aliens hahaha

With "light" use I get about the same battery life its not hard to believe, I just dont post with details anymore.

For some reason, While I was using this kernel, all my ram would be used up by my apps, and it would stay used up. than everything would freeze for a while. till I went back to PG's kernel. Is that a kernel or rom issue, or just my phone? lol.

Ram being utilized isn't a bad thing
Android frees ram when it needs it automatically during garbage collection, and keeps the most often used apps in memory so they don't have to load from the disc/flash memory which is slower. The rest is used as cache and stuff. Android isn't like a pc in that regard. A PC runs out, gives errors, swaps to disk nasty because nothing closes your apps for you when it needs more ram. Google designed android to be smart and avoid this. The only time ram related issues arise, is if an app requires more ram than what you have, like maybe games designed for a tablet, but that's the developer's responsibility to think of.

yeah but it was to the point that everytime i would unlock my phone, it would just sit there frozen for like 2-3 minutes. till it unfroze and i would stop some apps like metroweb, and poweramp. and itll go back to normal. thats never happened before even though i never manually closed my apps.

I was having the same issues flash the rom gor gingeresteem with optimizer I am not getting no more than 8 hours maybe is my phone or maybe is something wrong but the phone has not lag today and I have kanaidas kernel install I am continuing to monitor this let the battery drain and calibrated I wish I get 18 hours on stock i think it will not happen to me.

That's pretty unusual behavior.
When you flashed the rom, did you remember format /data and cache first?
I'd make a backup, then try it from scratch to see if it helps.
I only know of 2 people why experienced lag this badly, and I couldn't quite make sense of it. Perhaps those phones had some sort of defect. They were the only ones that froze while doing simple things like generating the debug info in my program. I almost suspect that there is bad blocks in the internal memory, just like hard drives do when it can't read a spot and it tries over and over and over. Maybe PG can add a checkdisk function into his AIO recovery image so we can scan disks for this.
If I had to guess, since they enabled swap file on internal memory by default, maybe it wrote so many times that it prematurely wore out the nand memory, or it was just defective out of the box. This is one good reason to disable the swap file with the optimizer, limit the number of writes because they are finite.
this seems to be what i'm talking about with another phone

Yeah I mean I try all things possible today the phone has been fine no lag or nothing I do have your kernel and gingeresteem runnig with the optimizer is just that I have not been able to get past 8 hours with light use on my phone might have to switch back to my extended battery unless I need various calibrations like my friend said.

before had the gingersteem ROM v1.0 with the homeless kernel and the optimizer configured with chuck nurrys and battery lasted me 15 hours maximum ... and last night i flashing my phone with the stock ROM: Stock Updated ZVB and delete all the bloatware and install the homeless kernel and calibrate the battery with Battery Calibration v1.2 and set up again the optimizer with chuck nurrys and also set up like this in the images on the android market:
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImthbmFpZGEubGdfZXN0ZWVtX29wdGltaXplciJd
and all day I was running the app BEEJIVE IM in the background using all day 4G and battery dried at 23 hours ...
i have the stock battery
ps: it is possible that it may be better the stock rom than the gingersteem rom v1.0????

so does that mean if you flash this on top of a pre-installed kernel, all the features will work properly?
because when using this as base kernel for rom i had had some bugs and 'home button' DID NOT work
