[ROM] (Old)Maverick for the Droid3 (MavROM) - V2.5

[Doubleyoupee]

Hm okai if you think that using the core system from 5.6 will fix the battery figures, because otherwise 5.7.xxx runs great for me.
Anyway can anyone confirm whether universalinbox works on 1.1? It's FCing here but might be because I didn't wipe (redid patch)

Would anyone like to see this go back to 5.6.xxx? Instead of 5.7.xxx? Since the cell standby is so high in battery use, im going to port everything back to 5.6 and see how it goes. Just wanted to see what you all think.

haven't had any issues with battery life or the ROM here (also using supercharger script)

I am simply confirming the battery buggy is more than a reporting issue. Is als affects overall battery life. The first leaked ota that we recv'd had corrected this and what ever changes from 1.0 to1 .1 seems to have taken a step backwards

I have ported our changes back to 5.6.xxx. I need a guinea pig! Pm me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you *want* a higher percentage of 'cell standby'?

Think about it for a minute: if you've used some battery and want to break down how it's used, then 100% of that usage being 'cell standby' means that none of the battery was used up by background processes. This is a good thing: it means they're not wasting time in the background and that your only energy consumption was to keep the cell antenna online. In fact, if 'cell standby' use was low, that means that everything else is using up battery like crazy.

The real deal is that when you add up the numbers, you have to come out to 100%. If you split a pie into three pieces (three processes using battery), you still have a whole pie between them (100%), so if you only had one big-ass slice that was 'cell standby', then that would be your 100% -- all of the energy used was for cell standby. Cell standby is a constant... as long as your phone is listening for SMS messages, phone calls, etc., your cell is using battery. It's probably not using more battery now than it was before -- it means your other processes are using less.

Hope that helps clarify!

Got me guinea pigs. Thanks.

Ye better spend time on 1.2 than porting back to 5.6.xxx :biggrin::biggrin:

Well, here is something to add to the mix. I flashed the 5.7 leak and now have the 5.6 system running on the leaked kernel and baseband. I am now reporting cell standby as the biggest user on 5.6 and 5.7. So now im wondering if it might have more something to do with the kernel/baseband rather than just the system version itself. And clarity to this?

This seems to be a valid point.

But either way I like 1.1 over 1.0. I've only been running 1.1 since last week and have been in western PA where they hardly have towers and 3g coverage is all but non existent. So giving an accurate battery rating is tough. But so far it seems top notch. Although my current up time is 23 hours and that was started in Amish country with long stretches of no signal at all, with time listening to mp3's, surfing, texting and even a few phone calls and I still have %27 battery left.

I'm also running the v6 script on the 512 aggressive setting (7)

Well, I'm on 5.7 but still have the old kernel/baseband from 5.6.. but cell standby is also the biggest user here. So it can't be the new kernel/baseband.

Well, like I said: a higher percentage of 'cell standby' usage doesn't really need to mean that the 'cell standby' has used more energy but that it has proportionately used more energy (it means the other components have used less). That's the idea, anyhow.

If I drank a half glass of water today and let you drink the rest, then I have used 50% and you have used 50%. If tomorrow, I drank half a glass of water and you drank none, then of the water that was used, I drank 100% and you drank 0% (with 50% water left in the glass). See what I'm getting at? 'Cell standby' didn't necessarily use more juice, but since other stuff used less, the proportions shifted that way.

Well, id like to see a verdict here. I have the newest edition(not necessarily next release) in both systems right now. 5.6 and 5.7. I added full init.d. support and custom oom settings and other settings added in to the rom. No GUI changes, just system changes.

I definately understand your logic. I agree with it. Just want to be sure that this is in fact the case and that it is proportioning it correctly and NOT using more battery than is should. Is there a way to verify?

Not consistently. You'd need a lot of multiple testing under as controlled environment as you could get -- same operating conditions, no handling of the device, no interference, consistent weather patterns, battery charge leveling (don't charge past 90%, don't drop under 70% -- monitor the length of time between the two), brightness levels, background services/apps/syncing... there are so many moving parts, I don't need to tell you, that even a 5-10% in battery life is easily written off as margin of error.

i installed the text messaging addon and now i'm getting 2x duplicate txts? i tried freezing the old text messaging thing but uh, its still around and still doubling... anyone else get this ?
