Okay, I was still having issues with the phone so I am now re-flashing 2.9 and starting fresh.
-----------
Update: It's still giving Launcher Pro errors! I did the non-data wipe version of 2.9. I'll reboot and see if it does it again. If it does I guess I'll try COMPLETELY from scratch and do the wipe data version. Something must be wonky.

Same. Try Blackhole 4.3 it's the only one I can say has great battery life.
guys, the roms you are speaking of have very little differance in battery life. the kernel on the other hand has a great deal. the varriance you are seeing between 2.8 and 2.9 has more to do with what gets left behind between flashes and the sync between your battery and your phone. thats why i posted the how to battery thread.
Even after the conditioning of the battery 2.9 didn't seem to fare as well as 2.8. Blackhole appears to fare better than both of them. Could just be my phone though.
Alright... I'm ready to bite on EC10. I'm also ready to bite on Voodoo.
Currently: SC 2.9.1, EB16, Nonvoodoo
Going to: SC 2.9.1, EC10, Voodoo
Is this transition as simple as installing the EC10 voodoo kernel with CWM and then enabling the lag fix?

DIRECTLY FROM THE Q&A SECTION OF ADRYNALYNE'S SUPERCLEAN THREAD
Q: How is battery life?
A: Battery life is a mixed bag. Some find it awesome, some find it horrible. This is currently out of my hands. All Froyo versions and roms currently have their issues with keeping the phone from sleeping. While I made not have these issues, many do, and it cannot be denied that there is a problem somewhere. There is no one direct cause that I have found, as of yet.
Some tips that have helped others:
Turn off GPS when not in use.
Open/close Maps.
Turn off auto rotate when not in use.
Try DL09 modem.
Battery life is a known and well documented issue with the EB01 build. A lot of the more experienced members here have set up their phones exactly like someone complaining about battery life in an attempt to figure out what was causing the battery drain, but could not duplicate the results. So the best answer everyone needs to keep in mind is what Adrynalyne has said over and over - YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. There has been no identifiable rhyme or reason for why one person's battery life on EB01 is horrible, while someone else's on EB01 is great. Adrynalyne and the other devs are a hell of a lot smarter than any of us when it comes to this and THEY are saying they don't have any answers right now. We will not get any help on battery life until Verizon releases the official Froyo version and the devs can get their hands on the source code and give us custom and undervolted kernels. Definitely play around and find what set up works best for YOU. Just remember that since it is hit or miss, your best battery life may not be as good as another person's battery life because of how many factors affect battery life. It is what it is for now.

Go to Gunnermike53's voodoo thread http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ks/55753-how-voodoo-updated-9-mar-2011-a.html and read and follow exactly the instructions in that thread. Any questions about vooodoo, go ahead and post them there. But basically, yes that is the correct process. Never hurts to read up on the process and know about it before hand.
Good post LS. Swimming against the recent tide, battery life for me on 2.9.1 voodoo with the new EC10 voodoo is the best I have had to date.
Each of us have our phones set up differently with themes or no themes, apps or few apps, how we use it, etc.
My set works for me after trial and error and what I want the phone to do. Yours may not with what you choose to do.

I posted numerous times in the battery thread that you are more than likely not going to see a huge difference in battery life. You will see an increase, but the main thing you are doing with that process is syncing what you are seeing displayed on your phone and what the battery is actually reading.

You can prove it mathematically:
FASN8=Super Duper Beotchin' Screen/Hardware
Super Duper Beotchin' Screen/Hardware = Electron Juice Sucker
Electron Juice Sucker = Battery Chompin' Death Monger Of Death
Battery Chompin' Death Monger Of Death = We Need a Better Battery
We Need a Better Battery = Don't Hold Your Breath
Super Duper Beotchin' Screen/Hardware = Electron Juice Sucker
Electron Juice Sucker = Battery Chompin' Death Monger Of Death
Battery Chompin' Death Monger Of Death = We Need a Better Battery
We Need a Better Battery = Don't Hold Your Breath
a.k.a. Battery-Beotchin' belongs with "Where's Froyo?" Beotchin' - in the recycle bin.
Thanks Landshark. I've read the thread and it looks straight forward. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't the need to go all the way back to square 1 like Gunnermike53 suggests.
I'll drop the EC10 voodoo kernel on top of the nonvoodoo EB16 kernel and see what happens. Can't go too wrong can it?

Thanks vulc. I was also having great battery life with sc 2.9 with the 2.9.1 patch and new EB16 kernel. After a few days I'll see how the EC10 kernel does with battery life, as I never judge battery life based on just one day. Right now I'm at 6 hours 33 minutes since unplugged, at 72% on battery, and 54% time without signal because I get hardly any reception in my office. So sitting in my office my battery life is going to suffer because of the lack of a signal and my phone is searching for a signal.
And excellent input on your part as well. Thanks again.

Yeah, Gunner wrote in the first post he just wanted to do that in order to start from a fresh, clean slate but that everyone did not need to do that part. If something does go wrong, Gunner will know how to get you out of trouble. Put your faith in him.

Thanks for the support Ytaay and Sushi. I try to do my best to help people understand we are kind of stuck right now as far as battery life is concerned. The more everyone knows and understands about their phones, the better their experiences with their phones will be.
