Re: [5-5-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.1][Release]

in regards to many you stating that GPS is using a lot of battery life the same occurs for me. what i have been doing though is killing all apps before i turn off my screen or as i power up my phone. this kills the GPS sensor within a few minute and helps a lot with battery life.

gps like stated above has been better than ever. my gps lock is almost instantaneous and runs great. the gps fix as noted for CM7 works great. as posted by cyanomod, the HTC EVO has an issue with its GPS coding, so we will always tend to be plagued with having to do the GPS fix until custom code can be developed.

i'm on v1.1 with tiamet 3.3.7 sbc
set cpu settings at idle to 128mhz
and using custom proximity/screen brightness settings as i have posted earlier.

i have zero complaints with battery life with this rom. it is the best thing to happen to this phone since its introduction. the standard kernel that is included with the rom does not share the same battery longevity as when using tiamet 3.3.7.
