Root Redux battery life AMAZING!!!

[SUroot]

Avoided for why?

 

[rowlers]

...because it is basically a task killer and the are hated on XDA?

 

[SUroot]

Its not really a task killer. It does what android does automatically anyway, but changed the thresholds. If those people are stating to avoid it on the basis they think its a normal task killer, then more fool them.

I'm using it based on the settings you posted above. I'll what sort of difference it makes...

Yesterday I reflashed ManU's 1.4 kernel, and besides the increase in USB transfer speeds (I think .35 kernels are faster than the newer ones on Gingerbread), I must admit that I've forgotten how much I, and my Desire, like it.

Great battery life, it wakes quickly even when underclocking. These kernels really are almost as good as having a second custom ROM flashed.

GSM Desire, Redux 1.2, S-off, ManU-1.4-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS and Zeam Launcher.

I still use 1.4 too.

I'm as obsessed music as I am with Android and the transfer speed is the decider.

 

[SUroot]

Android is an operating system. It could turn out to be a flash in the pan. Music is a WAY OF LIFE!!!!

I still use 1.4 too.

I have gone back to 1.4 from 2, find the battery much better again (using redux).

I begin to feel alone in using 2.0! But I didn't notice a big diff in battery, and find 2 a little snappier.

 

[SUroot]

I had a keyboard issue in 2.0. I asked Emannuel to run a poll.

Is anyone else having issues when trying to open Settings>sound settings.

Whenever i open the sound settings i get a force close for some reason

Find and uninstall wallpaper settings in titanium backup

 

[MikeyUK]

I dont see one called that...

 

[SUroot]

It will be in green and may show up like...

"[WALLPAPER/SETT..GS]settings 2.3.3"

It wont be in alphabetical order necessarily so look at all the green ones

I'm trying my favourite Oxygen kernel. it's really very, very close to topping my list.

Excellent, worked a treat

 

[MikeyUK]

On the other hand, now my app market force closes now

 

[SUroot]

Probably unrelated. Restoring market via titanium? Or wipe market data?

 

[MikeyUK]

Still not working, tried both ideas

 

[SUroot]

reflash rom?

 

[MikeyUK]

Unfortunately it was the rom / kernel. Did a nandroid restore and it solved the problem... oh well

 

[rickbosch]

for those wanting to try a kernel not mentioned here before, this one is pretty impressive. I'm using the CFS couttstech 925mV and it's pretty quick. worth checking out I think.

 

[SUroot]

I like manu as I can change the VDD levels to 875mV (or whatever I want)

 

[rickbosch]

reflash rom?

I'm not quite ready to start tweaking that sort of thing, but I found a 875 couttech kernel as well. I really like the Redux one, but it can be a little laggy, so using the new couttech now, will report findings.

Oh and I'm running Ubuntu on my pc, USB transfer speeds are normal again.
