Now under new management
Intro
Let's continue the fun!

("Ginger" as in "Gingerbread", and "DX" as in short for "doixanh")

As set in stone by doixanh, the main goal is to have a fast, smooth and lightweight CM7 based ROM with some special features.

4. If you have battery drain, try the following:
- Clear battery stats in recovery.
- Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
- Turn OFF 'Allow mock locations'.
- Don't set brightness too high.
- Don't install too many unused apps.
- Turn OFF WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when not in use.
- Turn OFF LED Succession.
- Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past).
5. If you still have battery drain after following Step 4, try:
- Full wipe in recovery, re-install GingerDX.
- Use Stock ROM for several days to see if the battery problem is caused by GingerDX or not.
- If it doesn't drain, try installing one of your apps, test battery for a day, install another one, and test.
- and so on...
