what about the dialer does it have the smart dialer like the dialer one or not
that my hick up apex has smart dialer

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.

it seems and looks like a lot of work but it actully isnt i just hate doing the wiping battery stats and what not but thats a pretty good guide to good battery pretty much what i always read when ppl are talking about saving battery plus or minus some stuff

Smart dialer is blur. Aosp and wycontacts are what you will see on blurless roms.

Boy, page 11! I'm late to reporting in at the party. Been running 2.0 for almost 24 hrs. I didn't do most of what mcp770 said except follow Drod's install instructions. Well, I've been enjoying, so far, and extra 3-4 hours of battery life. And that's with heavy usage. That includes over 2 hrs of talk time. Bluetooth enabled all day. Lots of emails (can't put a # on it though). At least 30-45 min of gaming. Plus 30+ min of YouTube/other vids. 100+ SMS/MMS. 1+ hr of Droid Fourms/Yahoo Messenger/Gizmo Ninja/CNet/Twitter/Facebook apps combined. Nandroid backup and added BigDX theme.

I think I'll try mcp770's tip and report back at a later time.

By Drod a few Red Bulls!! ;-)

Yea it looks like a lot because I write like a bafoon. Really just boils down to revert to stock, install as directed, get clean copies of apps, only restore data as needed, train battery stats, keep draining widgets to a minimum. In the end extreme use equals extreme drain ie browser and widgets. I also installed my apps one or two at a time a while back looking for the culprit of my crappy batt life. In the end I think for me juice defender was doing more harm than good. Left it off and been without issue since.

Fix for cpu scaling

Edit: Updated file to not have syntax error

I've confirmed a syntax error with Drod, and I patched up the file myself with great results.

The 01cpu script in init.d was missing an end if (fi) and causing an error.

I'm not 100% sure how noticable a difference there is with this file corrected, but if you run gov -ondem, you'll see an error which makes me believe that the startup scripts that process init.d are failing as well.

I'm actually testing another rom at the moment, but figured I'd share the fix with everyone.

Install instructions:

• Download the patch
• Boot into clockwork recovery
• select install zip (can never remember exact menu option)
• use the option to choose a zip file
• locate the update you just downloaded
• run the update
• reboot

It may seem unbelievable, but I'd imagine you'll get even greater performance out of rubix with this "fix"

For people who keep going on about how battery life can't be as long as it is, my suggestion for anyone who is having problems with battery life is to download Juice Defender free/beta. Not even kidding, I go over 2 1/2-3 days easily on 1 charge (default settings in app) with moderate use. You'd be amazed how much it helps. Phone calls, texts (a loooot of texting tho), web browsing, fb/twitter, a couple games. It really does help, and with the new governors, i'm sure it'll help even more. Just my thoughts, if anyone cares

Wont flash. Says syntax error in updater script. I use innteractive gov so do i even need this?

i used to have juicedefender and it didnt help at all i thought it was but in reality it wasnt and it was messing with my 3g hardcore always turning it off it was just a big hassle not saying that it doesnt work for u but i just had problems with it

wait so what does this do??

 

[azndan2]

nice. loading it up now. hopefully it won't give me as many reboots as liberty and fission

 

[shoobox]

Also, if you want to set one of the above (conservative or interactive) on boot, you can just add:

gov -cons
or
gov -inter

to any of the files in /system/etc/init.d

I did have it set up to choose which one you wanted to run, by setting it to 1 or 0 in /system/etc/init.d/01cpu but I removed that part while trouble shooting a bug that wouldn't activate the interactive governor, and forgot to add it back in [/QUOTE]

Forgive my lack of linux knowledge, but I am unable to edit /system/etc/init.d/01cpu

I have tried using the terminal emulator (su) and root explorer. Each time I get an error stating that the file system is read only.

Is there anything else I can try?

Not 100% sure, I know the first if statement in the script if checking for ondemand, haven't looked at it enough to be certain that it really affects anything drastic. The updated I created is fixed now and should flash just fine.

wait so what does this do??

It's a fix for the script that runs on startup to set the sampling rate for your cpu. There was one tag missing in the script causing it to error out.

Theoretically you should see better performance with this fixed.

Drod posted this on twitter last night for those that don't follow: rubiX Focused and Blurr 2.0.1 coming tomorrow... script fixes

The rest of the init.d scripts still ran. I was having different issues with 01cpu before release, and verified they still ran.

Be patient, guys. I'll be releasing a patch tonight.
