in reading the article, it seems to be geared towards the tp2 but I wonder if these changes will also benefit the diamond and touchpro considering we are using rhodium tf2.1 much the same as the tp2. Additionally, the article states that turning of push internet(tf>internet tab>menu>settings) does not necessarily turn off Opera push updates. So I think it might be worth trying it out. Not only will it save memory used but also battery life since the device will not update push pages every hour. sounds like a winner...hopefully. Let's try it out and report back. |
I installed this cab last month, and no real noticeable difference in battery life. Program memory, however, increased about 8MB, and seems to have lessened the need to run CleanRam as frequently with this ROM, so that's a plus in my book.
I think, with this latest ROM, other than the Battery Polling registry edit, the best thing to do to conserve battery life is to leave the phone in 1x unless needing EVDO for data. In trying this out consistently over the past week, I've been able to go a full day (medium usage, such as several texts, occasional browsing, and maybe 20 minutes worth of call time) without having to charge, and still having about 30% life reported in the meter.
Once the intermittent freezes are resolved, I think this is probably the most stable rom thus far other than MR4.
