Root [ROM] Sleipnir v2.4.0.5 - 10/24/13 - VM & SPRINT

Hey Artine, I'm not getting the battery results that you've been having. My battery went from 100 to 20 percent within the time period of 5 hours. There was a moderate amount of use, and I don't have anything that runs in the background. What could be the problem here?

There are three things that I use:

JuiceDefender (awarded me an extra few hours even on stock)
CPU Settings to have the min be 2xx, max be 16xx, and the governor be smartassV2.
In recovery, wipe the battery stats (this has actually helped as I've experienced, although rarely, a significant battery drop like you mentioned, but wiping the stats and going up to a full charge fixed this).

If none of those three things help any, I'm willing to do a battery life test on 2.0.7 and see what happens.
 
3g use, whether it be downloading, streaming, or moderate browsing, will kick the crap out of your battery.

I normally keep 3g off (power toggles) unless I need it. Unless you need background data. If I'm home or in range of wifi, I'll leave it on for data. It uses less power, and is normally a million times faster than sprints data, lol.

Screen briteness lower, gps, bluetooth, auto sync off will help too. Unless you need them again, of course.
 
Updating to 2.0.7 in just a bit. Thanks Artine.

Also as a side note, in the credits when flashing/updating the ROM zip via Recov, you missed the "l" in "Leslie Ann", it's listed as "Lesie Ann". (As of 2.0.6, perhaps you've fixed it, if not, there ya go. Lol.)

The new update is buggy.. Restarts itself to many times now after turning off my phone.

Odd. I'm not sure what would be causing that - the only thing that comes to mind is the Gallery. But, I've been on it since I released it (the second time), and haven't had that problem. What are your cpu tuner settings?

Really? I've never had that happen, and I've tried all of them o.o Make sure you're clearing your caches (dalvik at least twice) and verifying the MD5 sums and you should be bueno. And with smartassV2 and it putting your phone into deep sleep, there's no need to power off the phone anyway.

My phone is right next to me constantly rebooting itself. Didn't start doing this until I updated to the newest version. I even restore and re downloaded the new version to make sure it wasn't me but still rebooting once you decide to reboot it or something.

Note: Close to tossing phone out the window if it reboots itself one more time..lol

I just powered mine off and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and it stayed off. I just turned it back on, and all is well. And yes, I'm using the version I uploaded. Still bueno.

The only thing I would suggest - and it may be a long shot but it's just gut instinct - is to pop into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik again, reflash 2.0.7, wipe cache and dalvik twice, and restore /data from your nandroid backup, and see if that fixes it. I have read before, although it hasn't happened to me, that with some ROMs where one runs into the random restarts/bootloops, is that wiping dalvik at least twice and formatting only /system, and reflashing, helps.

EDIT: Now I've restarted it twice post-power on, still all is well.

Tried it 2 times already they both did reboots once i restarted phone. Just go back to using stable version 2.0.6.

I'll reupload an exact copy of what I've got. It's very possible that the upload may have been bad initially. However, multiple restarts and power on/offs later, and mine is still perfectly stable. No issues whatsoever.

Out of curiosity, what were you doing/using just prior to when it started?

EDIT: Hmm... it seems to be hit and miss with the current upload. That almost makes me wonder if it might be tied to the hardware. Just food for thought, though.

EDIT: Here's exactly what I've got. Perhaps this upload is better. If not, I'll see what I can do.

Once it finish installing and booting I begin re - uploading my apps from the Google Market then I back it up with Rom Tool. Once I restart the phone starts rebooting everytime it spends 20-30 seconds on.

You don't have to redownload your apps, you only need to format /system, so you don't lose your apps nor your data. Backup with Titanium Backup or through the recovery, I wouldn't trust any other backup tool (therefore, I second the sentiments of Android Police on the backing up matter) because, if the upload wasn't corrupted and came through as it was intended to have been built, correctly, it may be an issue with ROM Tool(Box). Some components of it are compatible with our phones, some are not (theme chooser being one of them).

I also edited my earlier post with the new upload. See if that helps. It's stable for me, it should be stable for everyone else.

That could be the problem.

But at the same time it could be a problem with the upload. I'm also uploading a copy to Mediafire - which I expect will be taken down pretty quickly but, considering I still have access to the file even if they take down the link to it, it shouldn't be immediate and leave a good window of time open to download it rather quickly (as opposed to SendSpace's slow download speeds).

ok...Thanks

Thanks! I notice the size is smaller in this version.

Indeed. I downsized mine post-install, so that could also attribute to the stability, who knows. There may be one initial issue with the Play Store, and if there is it will only occur once. I believe it may be because of how recent the update on the Play Store is, and it's being odexed instead of updated to /system/data/app as a separate app - which it then does afterwards. It's a little difficult to explain, but the build is stable.

Good to know. Thanks for helping me.

I really appreciate all of the assistance, by the way. You're a brave soul with a lot of patience - though I'm sure you're rather annoyed at this point. My apologies to everyone on that part. But, this is how it goes.

That being said, provided that build is stable I'll update the OP with links to v2.0.8, which has a stock Play Store (therefore it will need to be updated), and typos corrected, and hopefully preserved stability. I guess bug-proof is never bug-proof, eh? It will also have the updated versions of the included user apps (not included in my condensed build which was the stable version of 2.0.7, as I already had them) added back in again. An MD5 will accompany it as well.
