Anyone who has installed the Gingerbread rom on their Inspire, have you noticed any difference in battery life. This is supposedly the main benefit to the upgrade. I want to wipe the Bloat ware off my system, but not install a rom unless it makes a huge difference. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated...
I am running inspired ace which runs gingerbread and battery life is great.

Major increase by about 3 hours...set cpu to power save when screen off and run at 756 does amazing things.
Also lowering brightness and turning of network when not in use

I too started getting MUCH better battery life with gingerbread. Any non-stock Rom for that matter.
If you want the absolute best in battery life go with gingerbeast ROM...

+1 to inspired ace and much better battery life than stock.
Last time I went battery for awhile; See attached.
Granted 9 hours of that I was asleep as was the phone but the rest was me playing games, reading, downloading apps, browsing listening to music using stereo bluetooth.
Rom is in the Sig.
Gingerbeast does have awesome battery life. I reverted back to RCMix3D only cause I missed it, and I get about 10-18 hours out of my battery on that one.
+1 on the RCMix,, cant say its much longer,, but it is good for a 8 hr wrk day..
+1 for inspired ace rom - battery is great and so is the performance increase!

That is word for word what I do...
And it is amazing. I highly recommend this.
gingerbeast has been ridiculously awesome for me on battery life. with moderate to heavy use, i get 12-18 hours of use a day
I have used HoneySense and LeeDroid, I have found that LeeDroid's kernel MUCH better than both HoneySense and the stock when it comes to battery life. In the end, it all depends on what you want, when you want alot of bells and whistles on all the time, your battery life will suffer, if you are more minimalist, you battery life will be much better
So far I've been one of those 'bells and whistles' people, and even on VU1.27 which I assume is pretty efficient I only get 8-9hrs. Surprising the biggest user has been voice calls, which will suck the battery dry in 2-3hrs if you have a couple long conversations.

I have noticed once the Dialer is used, it seems to keep eating battery if I don't restart. I'm not sure if this is the ROM or android in general though...

Glad I'm not the only one. Just assumed it was a radio issue.
Just changed my phone over from Gingerbread 21a to Gingerbread 21b. This seems like a massive improvement over 21a. Much less hassle with data connections dropping out and a really good difference in battery life. I know I can't root it yet but to be honest the phones so much better I'm not that bothered.
Happy for now, Pete

Can you post the link to the file? Adixtra's link doesn't work...
edit: you meant v20b or v21b?
Im really hoping someone finds a root for this soon. Ive tried everything i can find and no luck. Arent some of the roms here based on 21b, arent they rooted?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
they can just pull /system from the phone still. That doesn't require root.
I'm using the stock 21b from adixtras post....I've had the phone 6 months and the battery is now better than it has EVER been! If you want better battery life AND better phone connections get 21b it's wicked!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
There is a rom that comes rooted with v21b. I haven't tried it though.

Ive got rooted v21b. just a suggestion: If you try that rom above, install it on a rooted v21a based rom with CWM. Woala rooted v21b
But what is the battery life like on these 21a/21b hybrid roms? Some say rushdroid still has battery issues. I'm telling you straight the battery life on stock 21b is UNREAL. after 18 hours I've still got 40% charge left! I have not had to use a spare battery yet, that's amazing! I usually have to change batteries after 8-12 hours, but not now.

Actually I installed PowerMax + Fastreboot + SetCPU, and with moderate useage (all the time BT is on cuz of music listening) it lasts for ~27-30 hours incl. sleeping hours
In overall im pretty much satisfied with my current setup, but if you got an idea which would increase the performance (battery & system) its always welcome
Bertram
Over 36 hours from a single charge to 15% left "warning" with my usual amount of daily usage. I've never had better battery life from this phone. I have the display about 25% and "koi live wallpaper" running all the time. No app killers and no "battery saver" apps running. I do still get an occasional data "hang" and have to reboot but it is far less of a problem than it was on 21a. If you are getting a "your phone is on the latest software" message look at adixtras post in the android development section of this forum. He has the files, tools and info to load this onto your phone in the first post.

Acura rom V7.1 is based on mix between v21a/21b I used it for some time but now I am back to Thiaiz because with time Acura becomes to slow and it shows plenty of lags. Everythomg about acura you can see on acura thread.
Hey guys,
So I'm running the latest TrickDroid for T-Mobile One S, so far I love it... Except that I HATE Sense. And I hate the Sense apps that replace stock Google apps. Flashing gapps doesn't kill them.
So I installed Go SMS and I actually really like it alot. The problem is, ever since I installed it, my battery has been dying really quickly.
I uploaded a screenshot of the battery usage and it says screen, but I can tell you that's strange because the screen settings are no different than before?
Could it be this new app is keeping the screen awake without it really being awake or something? Im going to try freezing the Go SMS app and see if that changes anything.

download an app like watchdog and use it to monitor apps that go over the cpu threshold, You can edit the threshold to suit you but i leave it as default.
My biggest battery consumer is the screen, But i still get close to 2 days
Amoled screens use a lot of power, thats the only disadvantage
Why don't you ask in the ROM thread? Or don't you like me? :O
I will release a new version soon anyway..
BTW, charge to 100% and make a reboot
Remove gosms and your battery should be back normal. I used gosms apps on my sg2 and it killed my battery

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.
I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.

No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.
It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.

Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol
It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.
Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.
I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?
Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?
CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.
Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!

Spam? I am new to this which means I don't necessary know how the whole system works, therefore I am trying to find the best answer I can. Sorry to see that's bothering some people.
Irritate the ones that have to go through these threads an your Chances diminish greatly.
Tis a sad day when being new allows for this spamming in ones mind.
