Notes about Battery Saver script

Can be used with stock or custom kernels that have init.d support

It completely eliminates the need for an application to set CPU speeds or profiles
Easily customizable if you use a text editor(scripts located in /system/etc/init.d)
It will set Max CPU speed to 500MHz & Min CPU speed to 200MHz when a sleep
If SetCPU, Overclock Widget, Android Overclock or QuickClock Advanced Overclock are detected, the script is ignored, so it will not affect them

Preset profiles are:
1.2GHz - 100-85%
1.0GHz - 84-36%
800MHz - 35-0%

And just an FYI, even at 800MHz, the phone still operates very well & smooth but the battery saving are the real benefit

Fixed some apps/games not launching

Necrosan's Hotspot hack(modded to fix browser scrolling)

Detection of Android Overclock & QuickClock Advanced Overclock to scaling script

Adobe Flash Player v11.0.1.153

This rom rocks but it is the first and only one I have tried, I put the ICS theme on it and it looks freakin sick. But battery life improved so far and it is really really fast. I love the ICS theme so much.

Only issue is keyboard keeps resetting to swype. Would post in xda but I'm new to android and don't have enough posts.

I am running the same set up. I dont use the HTC keyboard but I am curious as to what step you are taking to switch keyboards, ie long press > select input or are you going into settings>local and input> then unchecking all except the HTC keyboard?

FYI a new kernel just hit XDA tonight that includes mods to CWM off the 5.0.2.6 base along with other tweaks. It sounds like with Calkulin's ROM and this kernel things will just fly. A couple of people are already reporting 5,000+ Quadrant scores. I know how many people feel about benchmarks, but since stock comes in a bit over 3,000, I thought it was pretty impressive.

Anyhoo, eat it up if yer hungry.

Fyi here are some battery life shots running this ROM. Auto brightness. Wifi, gps, bluetooth on all day. Use includes about an hour of streaming an audiobook file via bluetooth and a half hour of Google music streaming.

Not bad.

Still on the latest EXP LoStKernel. I wanted to get a feel for the ROM before I tried the Team Rogue kernel. Easier to identify issues that way.

Wiped catch partition , Battery stats & dalvik then flashed rom.
Rom Installed then I rebooted to find loop boot to be end result.
After 5 min of that I pulled battery went back & wiped partition , batt dalvik again getting same boot loop result.

grrr what a mess

 

[JayWill]

Pretty sure you gotta wipe data too Sling. The format all ZIP Calk made takes care of all that.

Did you flash the full rom before or just the update? Also did you make a back up in cwm?

It's attached to the bottom of Calk's XDA thread. Download that, move it to your SD card and install it before you install his ROM.

You have to wipe data and probably format /system to get this ROM to install correctly. Calk's ZIP utility makes that easy. But be aware yer gonna lose sms threads (unless you back them up), App data and other system settings. Also, people reported issues restoring Apps and App data using TB. So I used Appbak to re-download and re-install MOST of my Apps, and used TB to only restore a few Apps that I really wanted the data for.

Edit - Hey I broke 1,000 posts today ... since June 2011 lol. Ugh I'm on these forums a lot.

No need to do any wipes when flashing a kernel, maybe a back up just in case
