Battery Life in a Custom Cooked ROM

[bbeck82]

I've tried alot of different Custom Cooked ROM's and found that there are so many different great ones with different features in all. Some features I like and some I don't use, so I decided to try my hand at cooking a custom one for myself.

After some reading and trying different things I've cooked some. My only problem is that I can't seem to get a cooked ROM to have a good Battery Life out of it.

So I was hoping that some of the great chiefs out there could guide me in the correct direction and give me some guidence on good battery life and what I'm doing wrong or missing out.

Some info about the ROM:
Tried 19588 and 20270
ROM 3.03
Radio 3.42.30
PRL 60613
PRI 2.04_003

Try adding the following "battery tweaks" to your rom:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Irsir1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Props]

I've set them to "0" already. I have Seven installed for my email and I'm just wondering if it's sucking the life out of it.

What is the HKLM_Software_Prop line do except give you some "Props" for responding so fast. Had a feeling you would be the one LOL

Any other tips that may help me would be great.

Thanks again

I don't use Seven, but the more you check your e-mail, the more it will drain your battery. I'm not secretive about this stuff. It's my mission to help everyone learn to cook their own rom. (to an extent...)

And the props key was for "mrgeoff" who created the base RGU file, that I stole from old_man_jenkins, from that file is where I got those regedits. A harmless little registry entry. Also your screen settings will have an effect too. Same props, just not included this time:

;*** Change Power Settings ***
;================================================= ====
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"ACBrightNess"=dword:00000005
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:0000001E
"BrightNess"=dword:00000005
"ACTimeout"=dword:0000003C
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
"ACSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000012c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
"BattSuspendTimeout"=dword:0000003C

These and all my other registry entries I use in my ROM are already in an OEM I created for adding your own tweaks to the kitchen. Here is the info/link:
