rubiX Focused 2.0.1: UPDATED

I'm brand new to the Rom deal. I'm rooted finally, was hesitant. What are the avantages over the stock rom? How's the stability? Do I lose anything of importance? From all the roms I've read about this seems to be the best one for me. Just need some user input to get me over the hump.
Battery life compared to stock?

TIA,
MJ

Amazing I work a twelve hour day while streaming music offer rhapsody the wile time and when I get off I'm usually around 60 percent if no music closer to 80% drod is a bray when it comes to speed, battery, life and shear usability

i agree. i have the extended battery on my ex and i have gotten 10-12 hours out of every rom no matter which one it was. i dont believe it.
 
Thats with moderate use a lil bit of web browsing and a few games on breaks there's several things you can do to increase battery life biggest being a proper battery wipes after new roms are flashed and trying to reduce the number of widgets try to keep one home screen free of widgets because widgets require resources and use background services which eat up battery also increase the time between apps automatic updates

even with that there is no way your battery only went down 20% after 12 hours man. im not calling you out but i am highly skeptical.
 
im not that good at math but if your battery went down 20% after twelve hours then your phone would last 60hours? my math may be wrong but either way thats a long a@@ time
 
The beauty is, everyone's phone is different. I personally can't pull more than 11 hours out of my fascinate, and never got more than 12 out of my dx, even when people said they were getting 18+ hours with a higher overclock than I was.

No two devices are the same.

I regular go from 0630 - 1100 and only come down to 50% at the end of the day

So that's 16+ hrs at half charge.

Extended battery and I do charge in the car dock for about 20min per day.
 
ive been running 1.9.7 on my d2 for a couple weeks with imoseyons mods and this is my favorite setup. im gonna flash 2.0 over it in a few....will report back lol (sorry fro the dx introsion but i find the d2 forums to be boring and lacking in development ever since libertys arrival)
 
I also have quick clock . What did you do to utilize the new improvements. Im not exactly sure how to use the new governers with quick clock .

Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums App

just overclock
if you want you can open terminal and hit run the script to change to interactive or conservative mode. I believe by default you're in ondemand mode.

rubiX is faster and more stable.
you will lose stuff and some stuff works differently. Social networking implementation is different than the moto stock. camera is different.
battery life is better on rubiX.
 
i like to have good battery but i really never worry about it i always carry a wall charger with me just in case and i have actully have 2 spare stock batteries but i never carry those with me
 
i think the longest i got with my extended battery was about 19 hours

Start looking at your apps and widgets. Moderate use being 5-10 short duration calls, 100+ text, 20-30 emails, minimal browser use I easily get 35-45 hours using the extended battery. This has been true on both RubiX and Liberty for me on two different X's. Here is what I have/do:

1. Use monster340 zip and revert to stock..reroot and proceed.
2. Install rom PER THE DEV DIRECTIONS EXACTLY...if he even suggests a data wipe I wipe! The person that made the rom knows best so DO IT! Always the people that don't read/follow the instructions having retarded problems and wonder why.
3. At first boot I activate, remove clock, setup sysctl settings, theme.
4. Download apps fresh from market..never use titanium for app restore just in case.
5. restore data via titanium to a few user apps and email...anything with a ton of setup I'm too lazy to do.

6. drain battery till phone turns off and won't restart, Then charge it all night, keep plugged in when you restart and it will auto boot into recovery, reset battery stats and reboot. Use until phone shuts down again (2 days for me) and then charge ALL NIGHT again. Your batt stats are now in sync.

Thats it for every new rom I install. Seems like a lot but steps 1-5 takes less than 10 min on wifi. Now with the extended battery as I stated I never carry a charger and phone lasts forever. I have LPP set to only three home screens and run a calendar widget, beautiful widget clock with weather, power control widget, dx OC widget. I keep GPS and wifi disabled until in use. Auto brightness.

***my biggest battery saving secret*** I started putting the damn phone down thus tripling my battery life. Browsing the web did and still kills my phone withing 12 hours if I stay on it constantly but using the web less saves tons.
