U should get coredroid when they realead update 6.6 I'm waiting on it.

I use Leedroid with its own kernel will run nice and very very easy on battery

I second leedroid. I've literally tried Android revolution hd, coredroid, and leedroid, and leedroid seems to be the fastest, smoothest, and stable as far as I'm concerned with the ability to o/c up to 1.8ghz if you're into that sort of thing. Thanks developers!

Every rom will work differently for everyone, best is to try which works best for you. I am using TB Fusion 1.1.2
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

i find Gingerbeast to be best on battery, as well as really stable. If you don't want sense and want Gingerbread 2.3.4 the way Google meant it, this is your Rom. Quick, smooth, and reliable.

How is cm7 on the inspire?

Cm7 is marvelous
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

i have leedroid...first rom i have tried and it seems very stable and quick, im also using leedroid's kernel
cant say too much about battery life yet, but it seems pretty good
8 hours 48 mins.... from 98 to 67% with light usage...

I'm using CM7, and my battery lasts almost twice as long, with just a few apps running. IMO, HTC Sense is the problem causing massive battery drain. But I tend to like Android as it was intended to be.

CM7 or anything based on it is great. It's ran the smoothest for me.
Sent using my Cirrus 6-string

are you guys using cm7 or cm7 nightly?
whats the difference anyways?
yea ill admit im trying to get my post count up, i could search....but i want to leave feedback in the dev section sooo....

I have found these 2 Roms the best for battery life.
Cleardroid and CM7 (not nightly)

Nightlies are updated pretty much every day. Not "stable" and experimental. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 84 (downloading 85 right now) and i have pretty good battery life using LordMod's UEv2.0 VIO kernel with -25 script. I jumped on board the CM7 Nightly train from Android Revolution 5.1.5 (now 5.1.7) to try out Netflix, which works great. Though my battery life with ARHD 5.1.5 and I think it was Apache's kernel was fricking amazing. I could go two days between charges with normal/light usage.

Men there are many roms, i thing the Best is CoreDroid v6.6 Even leeDroid (Reboot issue)

Inspired ACE 1.0.1 + MDJ's Kernel V19
This is my Inspire after moderate use, always WIFI ON.
FaceBook+Twitter+Weather // Updating Data every Hour.
I tested every single Rom (I have 3 Inspires) this is THE BEST combination I found for battery life.

I have tried so many different ROMS and have always come back to Inspired Ace 1.0.1 I have it heavily modded with lots of Sense 3.0 components and still the battery life is more than exceptable for me and the performance (even moderatly overclocked to 1.21) is clean and smooth.
i do have to say though that if you dont want the Sense experience then CM7 has to be the best out there. but for my taste i like the frills and bling theat Sense provide.
P.S. keep in mind that overclocking, even moderately is not recomended. And since all hardware reacts differently your inspire may not tolerate being overclocked or it may tolerate it even better than mine. Battery life as always is not an objective reference but subjective my use may be far less than yours and it all depends on what you are using it for.

so many to choose from, i keep going back to cm7 based personally. Recently been using mdj cm7.1.0 v1.4 with the latest lordmod kernal PUV. The rom can be found in the Desire HD section. Just flash the audio fix after flashing the rom. So fast yet has the least battery drain. On standby, I hardly draw any juice at all! TPGB is a great choice as well!

I have my wife's inspire running Inspired Saga (100% stable) using the 12.35..... radio and juice defender app. She avgs 1d 4hrs on a single charge. And yes that includes a few hours of angry birds. She has been running it for the last month. And i have yet to do anything to it since flashing the rom. No fc's no reboots etc. It runs flawlessly.

[Q] Best and Fastest ROM + Kernel

What is the Fastest ROM and Kernel out there for the Desire S ?
-Sense Rom and
- CM7 Rom

This question has been asked too many times
But to answer the question, go for oxygen or cyanogenmod if you want speed
Use tiamat for overclocking or just stick with the cm kernel. I found it didn't really make a difference
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I am very pleased with my current combination of Tiamat and Miui, its very fast and smooth with zero glitches or crashes.

i only found a Desire Version of the Oxygen Rom, can i take this version ?

No you cannot. Do not try it.
Here is the link for oxygen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864
There is still one issue but if that bothers you try out cyanogenmod.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

here the link, if u want to try cyanogen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297575

IMO, stock sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 is fast and smooth as cyanogenmod and miui but the difference is only used heavier resource.

I'm using Endymion V2.2, its fast and stable

I'm using stock gingerbread launcher and cm7.1 and tiamat kernel 1.1.5 fast and stable

im not sure of kernals but, felt oxygen is slightly more faster than cyanogenmod nightly build 52 during my use...

I'm using the Virtuous Rom for my Desire S. Works smooth and ist also stable with a CPU underclocked to 100mhz. Cause I'm new to the Forum I cant post the Link but the domain is: virtuousrom.com

Ok, i will try first the Virtuos ROM ad then the CM7 Stable and Nightly

CM7 all the way its so fast and great battery life

I am using CM7 for a while now. I think it's pretty good. Also, flashed Tiamat kernel an hour ago. Seen some YT videos saying that this kernel is fast and gives battery a good run. Well, I'll hope it's all true.

Of you decide to go with sense, I recommend sense 3.5 ROM as they are significantly faster than sense 3.0 ROMs

Fully working roms

What if any roms are there for desire s that are fully working with no faults. I've used miui for ages now but that still has its bugs. Been looking to go to Endymion but that seems to have bugs to now. I'm just looking for a hassle free daily rom for when I'm at work.

I don't seem to have any issues with any roms apart from the ics rom. They all seem stable
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Endymion has no bugs... There were 2 bugs with the new update, but there are 2 patches for that to fix it.
I've been using Endymion for 2-3 months solidly and it's stable and very very good

Been using Endymion for the last day and its ok. But the camera went a bit odd went black and then battery drained about 20% in 10 mins. Probably something I did wrong on flashing. But I haven't used sense for months and I wasn't a fan of it then and I'm still not . I've flashed cm7 now (I don't know why I've never used it before). Seems good so far I loved oxygen rom but had call issues. Hopefully cm7 will be good.
Waiting for ics though but with so much still not working it would irritate me.

I'm using GalnetMIUI as I found a Bluetooth bug in the generic MIUI build. I have had no problems at all with it - everything seems to just work and the battery life is hugely improved over any of the Sense ROMs that I tried. I do, however, run ADW as a launcher on top of MIUI as I don't like being unable to hide every application icon from the screen.

Runnymede S v4.01 by proxuser ........ it's basically the fixed version of v4 by RC team. Haven't faced any problems with the stock kernel. The v5 by proxuser is not a fully functional ROM. I'd stay away from that.

+1 to what Oliver said
@goatimus, Endymion is absolutely bug-free...
It is actually the benchmark Sense ROM for the DS, to which all existing and new ROMs are compared, to rate them...
Maybe you need to take a look at your set-up again, or reflash the ROM after a full wipe, and no titanium restores if possible. Setting up all apps on every ROM is a pain... but for Endymion, it is definitely worth doing that, because that's the last Sense 3.5 ROM you'll ever need once you have it up and running.

[Q] What is the best rom,kernel, or mod for excellent battery life?

I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:

I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot
I loved energy at first on my amaze 4g but he started tweaking it so the standby doesn't use hardly any battery... and ever since I wasn't a fan of his rom over on that phone... haven't tried it on the one s yet.. prolly won't

I'm using TrickDroid 6.1 with Virtuous Kernel. Been averaging 22-26 hours with simple usage.

I'm using trickdroid v5.1 (eu not t-mob) and it's performing good, if you like the stock sense look try it

CM9 and AOKP by far have had better battery life than any of the Sense roms.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant

I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!

What are the best kernels ?

[POLL] Which ROM are you using?

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?

i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!

I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!

pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.

On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now

What about battery life, how is it?

I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.

I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom

you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see

Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.
