@billy
yes he does

LOL...chill laaa..joking jiek~ why so serious? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

when u flash the radio the U will most probably be there xD..its a kinda weird thing, after flashing u'll get slightly different wordings of the radio

I'm still fine tuning the phone. A lot to experiment such as the recommended radio, setcpu and the lot to get the best battery life.

However speaking based on today's usage.
- roughly 45 minutes of call
- wifi on for about 5 hours overall
- mobile data - a few minutes only

My battery is at 40% after 18 hours

I'm not that impressed yet

the bold part, 1 fully charged also not enough actually.
like this, need to buy battery booster or something..

@billy
if go meet him, teach him a lesson..

EternalC,
I have a car charger and also extra portable charger. But the thing is, I always travel frequent short distances...kinda like not much difference if charge for 15mins or so.

Billy,
I've considered battery pack too but kinda doesnt solve the phone consume too much power issue.

I read some posts here saying that those flashed their rom ended up with pretty good battery life. I dont believe in gaining something without sacrificing another...so those flashed their rom and got better battery life, what stuff did u guys gotta sacrifice? display quality? lag?
Sorry, again, I'm a super noob here.

@banji

based on your sig, still using 12.28b.x.x.x radio ah..? why not try radio 12.35d.x.x.x or 12.41.x.x.x ...?

Thankx symphonia for clearing that up. I will give the recommended radio a go. A lot of mixed feedback, it just make me more curious to test it myself.

@mave
we flashed ROM coz it provide a better batt life than stock, yes indeed, but not to the extend that it can endure such a heavy usage u know. the power issue comes becoz of the heavy usage, thats why =)

so u sacrifice ur heavy usage and u gain longer batt life
sacrifice longer batt life and u gain heavy usage..lol

@m a v 3 r i c k
need to sacrifice what...?

flashing custom rom will increased performance, plus gaining battery life somemore..

leedroid nice or not?feel like flashing to it~ LOL

Still reading so that I know exactly what I'm getting myself into

asked your mentor, master lunatique.. he'll give a review for you..

@banji
all right..~

EternalC,
Hahahah...but I read somemore that some of them can actually survive 48hours. I doubt mine can even survive that with just standby (but 3G ON all the time).
Roughly how many % battery life improvement after flashing? Also will the phone feels smoother? Mine kinda lags at times (not that I'm complaining, its still much faster than my old school E90)

@mave
i think i better pass you to the sifus here to do the explaining

lai syuki, let us crack his screen.

@m a v [3] r i c k
of course.... thing is, why all ROM developers need to create custom ROM instead of using Stock ROM only..?

that's because they (dev) want users keep getting satisfaction / speed / performance / extended battery life. and of course with custom ROM, they'll remove all crap and useless stock app and tweak the ROM to the max. know what i mean..? correct me if i am wrong..

P/S:
somemore, you'll get "all-access-pass" for your phone i.e you can download apps that Stock ROM cannot download / use.. (ShootMe, SetCPU, many more)

ow, of course.. my pleasure billy.. where's aeron..?

syuki,
ok I shall lock myself in the room this weekend and flash my DHD.
which rom would u recommend?
now, I think I need to read how to root first before flashing, right?

wa wa,now all planning to crack my screen edi?

haha.. no need to focus so much to flash ROM.. just rilex.. get yourself understand how to root and flash your phone first.. double check the requirement, what you need to have before root and flash and there you go..~

well, your need is performance and battery life is it..? if you ask anyone here, sure they'll suggest you ARHD ROM.. the best ROM for performance and battery life.
