Well out of all 2.2 ROMS I have tried Cyanogen Tazz 1.0 seems to be the best. Its very quick and holds a good battery charge. I was using Cyanogen Tazz V8 but it was killing my battery.
I think I have finally found a 2.2 ROM I will stick with for a while.

Are you running the "themed" version posted yesterday?
Hey Luke,
Just flashed this ROM and am currently setting it up. I was wondering if you've been using it w/the JIT-compiler or not? I've heard from some people whose opinions I value that it doesn't make a difference on the Eris because our phone's processor is out of date compared to the ones JIT was meant for. And that it also can sometimes seems sluggish if it is enabled, but I'm wondering why it would be included in the ROMs if there weren't some potential benefit to it. Anyway, I'll let you know what I think of it once I've had some time to mess around. Thanks for the heads up!
Awesome! Yeah, so far the only issues I've had are with the camera... I took a picture, deleted it, and then it got stuck trying to get back to the camera, froze up and I had to pull the battery. Also, I've been trying out the Google Voice Actions, and there's been a little funkiness going on there. It's fine at first, but there's a way to tell it to do something (send a text/email, etc.) and then hit the microphone button again to add more-- and it seems to force close every time. These are pretty small things but the only ones I've noticed so far. Of course, it could just be my phone too. Other than that, so far so good.
How are you finding out what your battery life it? I downloaded the HTC battery widget but when I go to add it, it isn't listed.... What are you looking at? Battery life is important to me.....
Thanks.... After 4 hours, I am now at 51%....Hmmm, not good. I just flashed this ROM, and I guess that I will just have to test it a little while longer after setting the SetCPU profiles you have listed.
I know everyones Eris acts different to different ROMs. I used Cyanogen Tazz V8 and got very little time out of my battery. This is the first 2.2 ROM I have used that my battery actually lasted longer than 8hrs.
Usage is the biggest factor, Luke. If your device is basically just sitting there with the screen off most of the time, you'll get tremendous battery life as compared to those of us who receive and make ten to 30 calls per day, send out and receive a lot of text messages and several emails, browse the internet and play Meteor.
Not to mention those who actually use their telephone to play radio ("Pandora") and/or music half the day (but they're all kids of 60s hippies ).
Main 710/528
Temp 245/245
Charging 710/710
Screen Off 480/480
Luke, just a thought and not intending to step on toes or anything. But I question the way you have your charging profile set. MY thinking is that charging tends to warm a battery anyway, so the charging profile should have a lower down-side setting. I set mine at 710 and 248, that way it CAN slow down if it doesn't have anything better to do.
But, you have a temp setting that's very low, depending upon how you have your percentages set it could override the charging setting, and my point becomes moot.

Oh ya usage will tell the tale. Going without a signal is probably one of the biggest battery killers.
I would say my total usage yesterday was as follows:
Calls 2hrs 14 mins 03s
Texts between 80-100
Checked and sent around 15-20 emails.
I have my Email set to check every hr and weather updates every hr.
Now I know everyone is different but the above is probably my average daily use for my phone. This ROM seems to last the longest out of all the ROMs I have tried.

Your right I probably could turn it down while charging. I usually don't have an issue with the temp while charging unless im using wireless tether.

that is some insane battery life if your doing all of that. are you using the stock battery? or the 3500mah?
Ya thats it.... it friggin rocks. Ive had my phone unpluged for 15 mins, sent 2 texts and the battery is still @ 100%.
ive been unplugged after a full charge for a little more than 2 hours now, have sent/received about 20 txts and i downloaded 2 apps from the market, im at 97%. im using kaosfroyo tho.
if battery life is what youre looking for, kaosfroyo is THE BEST rom! hands down. thats not a knock on tazz either, he has done great work on his rom, i just didnt see the battery life i wanted.
Cyanogen Tazz 1.0 = WOW. This is impressive, very fast, much faster and smoother than v30 for me. It's close to XTR 4.0.6.1 in terms of speed so far. Now, I just hope the battery life is better than Kaos was. Been off charger for 2 hours, 15 minutes, down to 94% and only checked 1 email.
DO A FULL WIPE ,, YOU NEED TO RE FLASH GOOGLE APPS, NO THE ROM DOES NOT SUPPORT FLASH ,,NO MARKET WILL NOT BE ON ROM WITHOUT FLASHING APPS
FOR BEST RESULTS, FLASH ROM, THEN APPS , REBOOT ,WAIT A SEC OR TWO
FOR 3G TO CONNECT
IF U GET STUCK AT THE ANDROID SCREEN ,,YOU DID NOT READ,, YOU ONLY WILL GET STUCK AT THE SCREEN IF U DID NOT FLASH GOOGLE APPS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER !!!
Sorry but I am a newb. I rooted for the first time on Sunday and rooted KaosFroyo. Didn't have to do shit with google apps. I read that this is better for the battery so wanted to give this a try. Thanks for the link!!! AND SORRY IF I PISSED YOU OFF NOT. LOL

But seriously thanks for the link.
I think the caps lock was from him copy/pasting the dev's instructions, which were written in all caps. He wasn't screaming at you.
10 hours and at 72% with light-moderate usage (surfing, installed apps, check emails) here and there. So far this is great for me. At least it's not going down on it's own, only when I use it, which I can accept.

Are you guys using live wallpapers etc?
Would that be the biggest drain on the battery?
I haven't downloaded setcpu yet. Are there any settings that I could set up before downloading setcpu?
I am loving this rom. I thought nothing would touch XTR especially a 2.2 rom. It's very fast and battery life has been excellent. (after 26 hours down to 20%). I am not using live wallpapers, while they are cool, it doesn't justify the drain on battery for me.
I do not have setCPU installed on this rom. I did install AutoKiller and have it set to Strict. I have all animations turned off and I'm using LauncherPro.

my experiences with setcpu varied. i did temporarily get a bump in speed, but it usually didn't last and eventually turned laggy. lately with the froyo roms, i haven't been using set cpu or any overclocking. just relying on the internal overclocking the rom is already set to. they are fast enough, especially tazz v1.0
just downloaded autokiller and going to play around with that.

I'm wondering what the difference is between this and kaos v30. I installed kaos the other day, set the same settings (no wp, strict autokiller, no animations, launcher pro, and low cpu's during screen off) and I'm showing 50% after 30 hours.
I love to try out new ROMs, but is there anything on C. Tazz 1.0 that kaos v30 doesn't have - besides different themes? Very curious. Btw - 2.2 ROMs might be my new home from now on.
Just installed recently -- It looks like GPS is not working?
Can anyone confirm?
I just flashed this as well and holy cow it's like learning a whole new s/ware system, sorta like when Vista came out - everything is the same, yet different.
My weather & GPS were not working, I turned off wifi and tried the nav again and it worked (same w/the weather) - it had told me I needed a data connection. Now they are working w/the wifi on or off. Maybe it just takes the phone a bit to catch up to what's going on w/the new ROM?
So far my contacts and facebook are VERY slowly syncing and the phone doesn't seem as snappy as when I was running xtrsense. Going to play around w/it though.
The only widgets I used on 2.1 were the Calendar (synced w/my google cal) and the animated clock/weather widget

did you flash the google apps package?
also all froyo roms appear to be real laggy at first boot. it is synching all of your previous apps, contacts etc. it takes a while for the first boot/set up to finish. Once its done, look out fast phone time.

Hi,
Yes, I flashed the google apps and went thru the set ups for gmail when I came into the phone and am in the process of reinstalling my apps that I had on 2.1. I had Titanium backup, but wasn't sure if I should use it to restore apps that I had on a 2.1
Besides a widget called Overclock Widget (which I have but have no clue how to work, and don't want to screw it up lol) - it has 2 sliding bars, one for min and one for max - what others can you guys recommend for 2.2?
Thank you.
I really want to like Froyo (I don't know why though, lol). Is there a good 'froyo for virgins guide' someplace.
