Will Battery Life on 2.1 ROMS get better

[thenoble06]

Hello,

When I heard the official 2.1 ROM was being but put, I finally went for it and rooted and upgraded to VillianROMS 5.4. Its good but as with other 2.1 ROMS the battery life isn't great, even with Juice Defender/Ultimate Juice installed.

I've no idea how the ROMS are coded and optimized and put together so i don't know if battery life in the future will be improved? Can someone throw some light on it please? I'm considering downgrading to a 1.5 ROM in the meantime.

Thanks!
A

Yeah, they should get better when they have the official 2.1 kernel to use, the current one is meant to be a bit crap. Or someone creates a new one.

I really hope someone at HTC "Leaks" some of the Hero GSM 2.1 work...

Well, Stickman's SenseHERO was recently updated from v2.1 to 2.2 (no, not Android 2.2, this is the SenseHERO's release number!). Looks like a big jump in speed and battery consumption so there's hope... .

I posted about this in another thread, but tweaking one of the system settings from 'WCDMA preferred' to GSM seems to have improved my battery life a bit on 5.3.

Think I'm gonna have to try sensehero 2.2 now though.
