Well installed swedish spring rls4 and battery life is still kinda sucky.

In my case the RDS feature of the custom FM radio was the culprit.

Whenever I connected in-ear earphones to the phone, I could always hear static "shhhhhhh" as if some kind of music player was still active. Helped me narrow it down to the music player or FM Radio.

When I had SS RLS4b installed I found that the "dialer" was keeping the phone awake for many hours.

What's the next best rom to go for after SS RLS4?

I'm currently running Cyanogen N35, got a couple of bugs, but it is a WIP. Nice to be running Gingerbread 2.3.3

Thanks

I'm just taking a look at the instructions for that one now

I don't understand what the Google Apps file is for? Why does it need to be installed?

You need to install Google Apps to be able to access the Market. The Google suits in their infinite wisdom, forbade the cyanogen team from including google apps within the rom. Btw, don't install N36.

Is there a lot of bugs in N36 or something?

That's only issues for people who are trying to OC?

Aah im assuming there's a battery app so i can keep an eye on things?

Battery is still sucky, so somethings draining it.

I'm finding that RC3 is the most stable for me.

Doesnt have the GPS reboot fault and its good on battery life.

I meant i've been using it for a couple of days without issue. Since RC3 actually.

No idea what gps reboot fault is, either.

GPS fault is using GPS then putting phone into standby - 10-30 mins later the phone will reboot/switch off.

CM7.0 final is coming out in a few days according to Cyanogens twitter!

Thomss · 8 Apr 2011 at 14:45

Awesome!

grudas · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:05

getting one next week 99% sure

we'll see :O is the one at the orange shop 2.1 android? or will it be the updated 2.2?

Nymins · 8 Apr 2011 at 15:14

It will be 2.1. There isn't an official 2.2 rom, but the custom ones made on Modaco and such are pretty much as official as you are going to get. They are 100% stable now, and with CM7 final coming out soon, there should be a pretty much fully stable 2.3.3 build!
