Page 32... some of his steps might be redundant and not TOTALLY necessary, but if you do follow it you will NOT go wrong.

I'm having the same issue. When trying to open the custom battery profile, nothing happens. I didn't have this issue before Rubix. This is a great rom and this has been my only issue.

After 14 1/2 hours unplugged, about 25 calls, handful of txting and random playing around....Im at 70% battery left. Im also overclocked to 1.45ghz @ medium voltage.

I think, however, that if you expect this performance of your phone you are setting yourself up for disappointment. In my last charge where I got 24 full hours, 6 of those hours were spent asleep and data turned off in saver mode. Of the other 18, I made nowhere near 25 calls, sent a gazillion texts, received a gazillion emails (one for each post on this forum lol), played a little Angry Birds, a little WordFeud, watched a little po...err streaming video, and browsed a few webpages. I am not overclocked at all but am running low voltage settings.

Ive been getting this type of battery life for weeks since Ive been running this setup, initially with Focused 1.0
Its all about how you set your phone up, dont run a billion widgets that need updates over data every 15 minutes or are pinging the GPS every few minutes. There are alot of "tweaks" besides just the ROM you run that will greatly improve both performance and battery.

I've been attempting to fix 3g mobile hotspot. First error I found was that all 3 png's within /res/drawable/ are unsigned. However, this doesn't seem to be the problem. The phone refuses to see Mynet.apk when its within /system/app. Meaning you can see it within root explorer or astro, but if you adb shell and then ls /system/app it won't be on the list at all.... I've replicated this problem with the Fission Mynet.apk which is signed for fission as well, and even tried installing TBH tethering patch even though I think it's just a functional patch. No luck so far, giving up for now.

Your battery performance is well outside the norm though. People shouldn't expect to get what you get. I've got my phone pretty well optimized and have never seen the kind of battery life you get. Most people don't, in fact. You have the rare super X. The fact that you are able to overclock it to 1.45 GHz is proof of that. Mine can't be overclocked past 1.15 GHz. Your phone is just different than most. Should someone on rubiX Focused 1.8.6 expect to be able to use their phone for an entire waking day without worrying about battery life? Sure, why not. The way I figure it is: do I really need my battery to last longer than I'm awake? Charge it every night and you should be fine every day. I would be interested, cpjr, in knowing exactly what kind of setup you are running.
Edit: It also depends on how much of each day you spend connected to wifi versus 3g versus 1x...
Yeah I charge every night while Im sleeping. I also keep WIFI off all the time, unless a rare occasion pops up to use it. I live in the Atlanta area and run 2 companies, with that do a decent bit of traveling around and outside the metro area.....3G service is pretty good most everywhere I go.
Obviously I use Focused 1.8.6, I run autostarts to disable alot of things starting up on boot, there are ALOT of background processes that arent necessary (or not necessary for me anyways) and I do have 5 or 6 widgets that need data to update, but each are set to every 3 hours.
Also, I use (as I'd imagine alot do) Gmail which is Push, I do alot with email but the app isnt having to ping the server for new mail.
I keep GPS off and use Tasker to auto turn it on if I open certain apps (like maps) that will need it and then back off when Im done.
I do agree I have a very well running X from the factory as it will run all day long @ 1.45ghz with no issues. I remember when I had the D1 I couldnt for the life of me get past 1.0ghz when alot were getting almost 1.3ghz stable....so maybe its payback
Umm, probably more to it but nothing comes to mind at the moment.
PS- This is an example of 1 day, there are days where I am able to drain the battery in 12 hours and Ive gotten about a full day+ also.....but usage is very hard....no....impossible to judge between devices/users so its not really important. What is important, when it comes down to it....does the phone last long enough to work for you...the user.

Heh, you'd probably get even more battery life if you stayed connected to wifi when available. The wifi radio uses something like 30% less power than the 3G radio.
What kinds of things are you disabling with Autostarts?
Fission instructions, I believe, are that you install the patch from TBH, and then install the hotspot? No idea if that helps.. I've not touched it either.. but ?

I installed the blue juice theme (I think that was what its called). I'll do that tomorrow if I can. I had to fight with it the first tike though. Rom manager didn't work, I had to do it manually.
install question
Hi,
I tried to install as per the instructions on the first page. I copied the zip file to the root of the SD card. Then using ROM manager 2.5.0.7 I selected "install ROM from SD card" option, choose the zip file and then it asks me to back up and clear data. I check wipe data and then the phone prompts for a reboot. Upon reboot it looks like the package starts to extract, then a exclamation mark shows and then reboots the phone back to root state it seems.
For the root part i followed step 2 option A part with the rageagainstthecage file. Seems to have worked, as I was able to use the wireless tether.
Any suggestions?
