Now this is the only and of course, the official support thread for miks cm7, but please, please, do move on! This is old and although it was once the best and still is a good ROM, nighties are by far and large better.
The journey from alpha's of this ROM was amazing and very memorable.
THIS THREAD WILL REMAIN AS A DISCUSSION FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL ON MIKS ROM DUE TO SOME REASON OR THE OTHER. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SWITCH TO addfad's CM7 . it's more stable, more smooth, more bug fixes, no black screen, etc etc. I myself was and am a huge mik fan. And I switched very very late.. But now I regret it. So go go Adam! (that's his name)
So as the name says , this is a discussion thread for mik_os's latest mod of cyanogenMOD7 .. so here it is for you all . have any question ? any doubt ? any questions about battery life or kernels ? just post here ! simple ! and save mik_os some trouble ! remember ! dont post non-developement stuff in dev thread. PLEASE. A REQUEST.
here is the link to developement forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
so here are some lill advices:
1. read up. its very easy , and very usefull. search in the thread. there are more than 1000 users on xda and if u have a problem, its very likely that u arent the first one with the problem, and that someone somewhere has had the same problem! and it is also very likely that that person has somehow got the solution or aworkaround. its very adviceable to read the posts or, if u find that the problem of that person is solved, but dont find the solution yourself, u can either pm him or ask him as a reply.
2. this rom is extreemly stable and 10x better , faster , amazing , customisable than the stock rom. thinking about going for it or not ? i strongly recommend - GO FOR IT !!!
3. for best battery with to the par performance , go for miks 6.5.8 with fserves goldenleaf kernel - its amazing.
4. for best perforance with battery too, and a lill more tweaks, go for fserves gbs kernels with 6.5.8
5. for pure power and performance (with a very very very lill compromise with battery [only during use, cuz standby battery is amazing] ) go for franco's kernel. its pure awesomeness.
6. for all noobs, and to make it clear- 6.5.x has the .32 kernel tree only, which means francos 19.4 kernels and fserves kernels. and also paolo's kernels. for 6.6.x - only .35 kernels. which includes francos gb kernels.. v1 and further..
7. READ THE FIRST PAGE OF MIKS MAIN DEVELOPEMENT THREAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. (^^links above^^)

The battery life is pretty good with franco's v15.1 kernel. It lasts for about 2 days for me. The only issue I have is the WIFI sometimes after waking up won't connect, so I have to turn it off and then back on.

great now ppl will stop spamming mik thread well enough as mik put ur thread link in his devlopement thread it will easier for noob and even all to get their prob solved and discussed
btw i just recaliberated the battery totally(again) and will observe the battery life again and let you know ! hope to get as much as you (or atleast near) !

No tweaks, I use same as releasing for you. Just do not install crappy apps.
oh, once more: I don't playing games
with games it's about 10-15h.
doing as you said ! will see now !
Well i get a little over 2 days battery lifetime to, mostly on 2g(90% time) and common sense. I'm on mik_os 6.5 clean.
I update my apps, i read news, F1,WRC,etc all on WiFi. I usually use 3G to check-in on Facebook and upload a photo. I occasionally play ant smasher and angry birds.
I use GPS to track my biking routes...
It's more than enough for me, im a metrourban afterall.

thnx all of you for all the sugestions ! will try them out !
Im on 6.5.2 with franco's tweaks.zip and its high benchmark scores ( 1351 Quadrant and 1400 AtunTu ) and also 2 days battery life with 3g always enabled wifi like 1 hour , music 1 hour , calls/sms like always =). With franco's kernel getting some FCs, getting lower benchmarking scores, didnt tested battery life. IMHO using native kernel is always better since it is optimized for this ROM.

vow ! i forgot ive done the same thing ! (flashed francos tweaks.zip ) performance is good my main point is battery.. i dunno how i completly forgot that i had flashed the tweaks zip !! will test both with and without the tweaks now.. will use the one with more battery life.. and me too sms is always on most of the time..
Kernel...
Hi all, i am using ROM Mik_os beta6.3, but without franco kernel i had battery life only about 1day (no games, half a day on 3g, half a day on 2g), 600MHz.
With franco kernel about 2 days.
Mik_os, when we can await more optimized ROM from you, with more battery life ?

well mik has lot to give in case od performance,tweaks and stuff and 1 day battery life after heavy use while default 2.2.2 has gt nothing amazing to do so try mik 1nce u wnt regret
i don´t use my phone very much and have 4-5 days battery life with LG´s 2.2.2
can CM7 last as long?

as shhbz said, miks rom has a lot to give when it comes to performance but the battery life wont be as great as lgs 2.2.2 (my battery lasts about 2 days moderate usage, but its worth the performance)
edit: turns out u was using franco.kernel 18.1, which kills a lot of battery. I'll see how it goes now with another kernel

definitely. I'm using the kernel that came with miks 6.5.6 (which I believe is franco.kernel v18) and now I'm getting about the same battery life except on heavy usage
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
how to fix error in native sip rom mik 6.5.6.
It is the following problem. Whenever I make a call through SIP native-I always call sign even if the number for which I am connecting to is switched off or out of coverage. Explaining better if I call my own phone number and it is off I have ever heard sip native tone. I would like to fix this problem because I do a lot of calls over the Internet and thus never know if the phone is off or not ..
I sometimes manage to get 4-5 days with one charge too (that is on 2.2.1). When I tried void. #forever (yes, I do realize you're asking about cm7) with the built in kernel which is v17 I believe, I only managed to get about 3 days out of it. Even though my experience is not with the ROM you're asking about, I still hope that would give you some idea of what battery life is like once you go custom.

but its worth the performance
custom rom got good performance
so keep forcing u to play the phone
and longest i can use for it is 2day ==
stock rom 2.2.2 longest is 3-4days ~
mik's cm7 6.5.5 have sleep mode that increases battery life too much....
if u don't use ur phone too much u should try it... .
I had 70% using sleep mode after 3 hours still 70%... that was amazing for me...
Plz excuse my ENG1!
Dear friends I might be silly over here but i do lot of travelling and will be using GPS for navigation mostly and my mobile doesn't last till the evening i tried mic_os with franko kernel but im not satisfied as the battery is getting drained fastly. Please suggest me a rom with the maximum battery life. I heard Andy's rom is the one with max battery life but now the rom is not available. Please help me guys will be waiting for your replies

Mik+Franco combo is the best IMO. You can try Mik+fserve's kernel. But if you keep your GPS and Wifi ON all day, any ROM is not going to make your phone last too long.
i can suggest Mik 6.5.7+fserve's kernel too,results with those was best for me so far

Thanks for the reply BFS or CFS which version to use please help me choosing it.
I use only GPS no wifi.
Usually it is suggested , for simplicity, to go with BFS. I am on BFS myself. If you google it, you shall find that reports coming in on BFS Kernels *better responsiveness on simple small Linux devices* are good enough. Asgkarthik16 said it though, no kernel or ROM shall help your cause with that much usage, your best bet is to go with Mik_OS+franco BFS or try devoid.franco
Hello guys, can someone please tell me which rom has the best batterij life?
I'm running on DiXperia3_'Impossibly Perfect' at the moment.
it is depended on how the user use their phone . for myself i use stock se rom and z's uncapped fix thats it , i use my phone to text, call and internet (mail, youtube and slight porn). i dont use my phone for games. my battery last for 1day and a half. heavy use 1day.
ive tried every rom here on dev thread and nothing satisfies me, but if ever FXP perfected his cm7 then maybe ill let go on stock.

i have flashed Amin’s Aosp 2.3.7 rom 2 days ago.it is on for 2 days and 4 hours and i still have 36% battery.I'm really impressed with this rom's battery life
I have been Using my SGS2 on cm7 since the day i bought it some days back.. The thing is i dont get good battery life. Battery Monitor Widget Pro shows -10mA to -90mA and sometimes upto -150mA drain in stand by. Last night i lost 13% in 8 hours. I recharged it to 100% the battery drain was about -2mA for 4-5 hours then suddenly it increased to 50mA and now its -91mA since 2 hours continously. I am on Siyah Kernel. Smartassv2 kernel. Cpu underclocked to 1ghz. i Also have autokiller. brightness to lowest. And manually kill apps. I got the phone coz the my old iphone was not lasting a day but it did last 5-6 hours of screen on time. SGS2 doesnt give me over 3 hours of screen on time. NO WIFI. Just 2g data. Whatsapp every 10min. 4-5 min gaming a hour.
So you read the ten million battery faq posts and make a start with better battery stats thread and app .
TEST with a stock GB rom .

Make sure you give it about 3 battery cycles download CPU Spy to see if your phone is going into deep sleep

MIUI GB is better in battery life comparing to ICS V4,
use with siyah kernel, with app Voltage control undervolt 25v each, noop + coservative, 200-1000mhz
giving good result.

Try pulling your battery out, leaving it 30s and putting it back in, I know that has helped some people get rid of some pretty annoying wakelocks(if wake locks are you problem), it has worked for me in the past

Do you flash with CWM?
It's much easier, yeah with moderate usage I could get 1.5/2 days battery life with stock battery It's a very good ROM, although the MIUI team have stopped developing due to the development of MIUI V4

basicaly all MIUI roms are same, some developers in XDA are just ported with some tweeks and modifications.
some of them are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352386
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502664
The country of Origin of the MIUI is China and released in Chinese language, but there are variouse fan sites who translate the ROM into their language and port with great support. www.miuiandroid.com is famouse among them in english language.
I am currently using MIUI GB ROM and really enjoying it
check it out
i flashed ressurection rom ics. i got 3% drain in 7 hours overnight which is quite good but now again loosing -57mA in standby ie around 3 or so %/h...

so i went back to stock rom. Wiped out the storage. Reseted the phone. Installed nothing. Still i get -57mA battery drain that is almost 5-6% per hour in standby. I have searched like anything. I just cant seem to find anything. My android os usage is 70%. And the battery info shows phone awake for maximum time. i even undervolted on siyah kernel. Didnot use data at all but it shows no difference. Stock,Miui,Resurrection,cm7 no difference. I simply cant get over 4 hours of screen time and phone looses 20-25% over night with data disabled and no apps installed. Am seriously loosing faith on android.

reads like it come prepacked with philz which is very good... i believe dorimax is also another good one.. BUT by far and the best way to find the best one is to read the thread (from v20 release onwards) and see what everyone else is using, You will get yourself flamed all over the forum for posting threads like this when they fit best in the omega thread. Happy hunting
Battery life doesnt depend solely on the kernel.
The ROM, apps and many other factors have a lot of say in it too.
For the moment, try what comes with the custom rom.
