Thanks for the clarification, i knew most were behind the scenes improvements, but now i understand a little more. I will fire up setcpu to see if that helps a little more with the screen off profile and battery life. It seems to be a little better now, but maybe with the setcpu profiles it will be even better. Just seems so nice, that the minor things i would change about the phone are being addressed and most of them fixed already!

Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
For more details about wiping battery stats please read this
Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.
Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my phone.
A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.
Q 4: After flashing Android Revolution HD my SD card is being mounted as ready only. What should I do?
A: Connect your SD card to your PC and do defragmentation process. If you still have some problems with SD card, please read this.
Mac users can use the repair function of the MacOS disk utility to solve the read only problem (Thanks to Calimero1205).
Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.
Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.
Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
A: Please reinstall SetCPU.
Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.
Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.
Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
A: There are some solutions:
1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
5. Read this, this, this & this
6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android
Q 11: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.
Q 12: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?
A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.
Q 13: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?
A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.
Q 14: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.

For Android Revolution HD [all versions]
- Change CPU max scaling frequency when screen is turned off from 700 MHz to 350 MHz - this is good for battery saving, but can cause reboots in random situations
- Remove Samsung default boot-animation - this will set Android Ice Cream Sandwich boot-animation
- Remove face-detection engine - this will remove the "Facelock" functionality. Safe to remove, if you don't use it

I kept telling myself I'm not gonna flash a rom or even root it for at least 3 days after I buy the GN. Here I am, 5 hours after buying it, having to use every urge of my body to resist. I doubt I'm going to last another hour lmao
haha same here man...just two days ago i was confidently saying i had no plans to flash ROMs, and I'm already running this one, made some theme changes for myself and plan to flash more ROMs as they come out...its impossible to resist...
Link is working fine. Anyone else having a problem with the link?

Main links work fine for me, but the CPU Scaling to 350 gives me a 404 error.
Thanks for posting the ROM blazed!
Been running 2.1.1 since last evening and have seen WAY better battery life, smoother screen transitions and an overall snappier OS experience! I should also mention that I am running SetCPU and using the profiles accordingly.

Fixed.
You're quite welcome. I've noticed a big improvement in battery life as well.

yes have the same problem as well. Have to do a battery pull to fix it each time. My only fix was to not power off the phone while charging, haha
