hey mystery, i just loaded your rom yesterday and it runs well and is visually attractive, yet simple. the only gripe i have with the rom so far is that it drains my battery really quickly. i used pegasus' rom for a while and my phone, at the end of the day, would still have about 20% of its charge left. but with your rom, and energy rom, the phone drains really quickly. my usage is usually just texting/email. is there some thing you can tweak to get more out of the battery?

thanks and keep up the good work.

I don't know if this helps but I got 2 solid days out of my battery by turning wifi off when not using it.

Also you might be able to find Calkulin's battery tweaks in cab form that can toggle fast charge and the low battery toggle which helps a lot.

Love the rom, but am having problems with the keyboard. XT9 words are never populating correctly. Is it set to a different language or something?? can't figure this out. I've tried both compact qwerty and full keyboard.

Thanks

One thing I noticed is changescreen is set on by default, if you disable it and save, it still returns after a soft reset. not a big deal but wanted to let you know. Thanks again for this great rom!

That is because I have change screen.ink on the start up folder under windows, just delete it from there and it should be disabled. I will fixed this next release.

Yeah sometimes a soft reset fixes things.

I personally think the battery for my ROM is average. The reason why it is being drain so quickly is because you have email pushing and it uses data which is one of the main things that drain the battery. Try to set it to 2 hours or something like that, that should help.

Don't use xt9, but what do you mean with "not populating correctly" Can you post a screen shot?

thanks for the reply. my email is set to 2 hrs and weather is set to manual update. i try to limit as much unnecessary internet usage as i can to get longer battery life. i even dimmed the screen down to 30%. doing all this, the batter life is still not that great. i've noticed that it drains after texting or phone calls, which is sort of obvious, but i feel like its draining more than it should. maybe this is something that you have no control over, but it'd be nice if this could be improved. have you talked to calkulin or the person who makes eneryrom about this?

thanks. keep up the good work.

I have Calkulin's battery registry edits in my ROM. How about switching to 1X only when texting? Switching from EV to 1X drains the battery as well.

ROM looks great, and it's cool to see someone else from mo val would you mind sharing a cab of your task manager?

I find that the battery usage is very low and I end up with 50-60% left at the end of the day. I do moderate texting and a couple of calls, have email and weather update every 30 minutes. Maybe dim your backlight a bit? The backlight is one of the worst battery killers.
