Best Rom opinion - T-Mobile LG G2x

What is the best G2X rom so far with good battery life? Do i need to flash another kernal to get better battery life? New here. Thanks.
I tried the weapon g2x, but didn't think the TW launcher forcing stock dialer as the only option. Other than that, it's good rom with the notification toggle.

Is good battery life all you are really looking for in a rom?
if so you could try a stock or tweaked stock rom and a oc uv kernel

+1 for WaponG2x with Faux kernel.

Pretty much all CM7 based roms are the same. Try xboarders or g2xtreme

I tried g2xtreme yesterday. Very good so far.
+1 for WaponG2x with Faux kernel -> The faux kernel overclocks it? Is there a way to set the cpu profile? I tried no frills cpu but no luck setting it. Any comment? Thank you.

I've been using eagleblood 2.0 with with the new faux kernel 0.4.1u..and my phone is just the bees kneeees..hah..check out my quadrant score..

battery life has a lot of factors..how many apps/widgets you run..what you do day to day..wifi..etc..
PERSONALLY..with a modest amount of widgets, wifi and gps on..constant texting and a phone call here and there...I get around 10 hours per charge. When I forget to charge it overnight, it usually is still on whenever I wake up...so I take that as decent.

I don't run that much widget. G2x battery seems to improve with faux kernel, but got rebooted once.
i like the notification toggle but don't like the default dailer on the phone. Thanks.

Faux123 kernel for Weapon 3.0?

I just got my G2X and just flashed Weapon 3.0 but I feel like it kills my battery. So I wonder if I can use any faux123's kernel with it?

Reset the battery stats and let it run for a couple of days. The kernel included with Weapon 3.0 is the most battery effecient one. I get 14-24 hours depending on use.
Faux123 0.1.3 I haven't had a random reboot yet and getting much better battery life oc at 1200 MHz

I am running weapon 3.0 with faux 0.1.3 @ 358min 1200max. Super smooth so far, better than the weapon stock one.

Wow! That is a hot score. Hmm...I have tried custom kernels on some other roms with mixed results (probably my fault). Anyway, I am willing to give it a try again. What is the best way to back up the original kernel in case I want to reinstall it? Of course their is a nandroid back up, but is there a simple way to back up just the kernel?

The only problem I have with Faux123's kernel is it's god awful boot times. Takes about 2.5 minutes.

Best Rom for battery life??!?

Hey, I was wondering if any knows the best rom for battery life? Stock wasn't to good on battery and I'm trying WeaponG2x as we speak. and lost 5% in battery in the last 20 minutes! From simple texting. Unless that's normal? Just comparing it from my previous phones but anyone know which one is pretty good on battery?? Thanks in advance.
I was on the latest Weapon rom as well, and yesterday all day using the phone for texting and calls only while on wifi calling, I got 12 hours and on 60 something % before I went to bed... I didn't use it for data pretty much at all (I was home all day)... What I have come to, all roms are pretty good with stock kernel and wifi calling on, as long as you aren't playing games or browsing the web like crazy. Those two things make my battery die super fast. Every rom handles things different, I'd say weapons and EB 2.3.3 roms are great on battery.
+1 for Weapon battery life.
I'm a pretty heavy user (data, gaming, web, all day) and I seem to get the best life from Weapon.
On stock GB I was lucky to get 4 hours. Weapon regularly gives me 8+, even [email protected] Weapon stock kernel has even better life.

Hello. I see people talking about clearing battery stats in order to make battery usage perform the best in WeaponG2x. Before installing WeaponG2x I cleared the battery stats in ClockworkMod Recovery. Is this what they are talking about or is there also some setting in WeaponG2x that I need to look at? Thanks.

Thanks! That's the whole reason I'm not using Weapon 3.
And yes, clear stats in cwm. It seemed to help my battery. I did it again after running the mod for about a week.

[Q] how is my battery usage?

hey guys, first post here, got my g/f skyrocket as a christmas gift. been iphone owners for past couple of years. love the phone and and system but as usual battery drain is an issue. i installed nexusmod and stockish kernel and the batt improved but still it wasnt near where other guys were reporting. so i flashed with skyrocket kernel and also i flashed it with a script that limited the cpus to around 1gh.
i would post screen shots but im not allowed since its my first post.
well after a full day, i got
- 10h of total use
- 2hr of display time on
- 30m calls
wifi off
screen brightness - 10-30%
gps off
sync off
4 emails acc checking every 30mins
so how does this sound with the rom, kernel and script setup? no wakelocks or anything.
i thought i would get much better results with cpus underclocked.
thats in advance
I find it's really the display that destroys battery life. I hardly used my phone for one day and got 20hous and still had a few hours left but then today I unplugged at 7 am and by 8 pm I was down at 25% because I used it for about 2 hours on the train.

It may be something you may have done.
Did you by chance flash some tweaks on top of zeus?
is this 5 days battery life like even with data and wifi on and if so is it with the ics theme added or no and if yes what are you guys doing and what battery are you using to achiueve this insane battery
In my experience the only way to get that kind of battery life is to basically not use it much. Which defeats the purpose of carrying it around. I use the internet quite heavily, text occasionally, gps, bluetooth and wifi typically stay off and with that usage I might be able to squeeze out a day and a half. Just my experience.

I agree Zeus has excellent battery life, 2-3 days all the time. I will say that I had to reflash Zeus once because I couldn't seem to get more than 6 hours out of the battery, I just chalked it up to a bad flash.
I'm having bad battery life too...I get good battery on the first day after a reboot or something but after that its back to 10 hours

These isn't a very good basis.
You'll need to charge to 100% and then let the battery drain.
So the battery saving option is only for screen off if so well that's pretty good I wounded if there's a way to turn one core off totally cuz I don't ever play games on my phone just text and call well see I got work tomarow so then ill be able to compare
ok so im running acidhazard 4.2 with thiazo3d 1.2 kernel with tweakzv6 also running simple home launcher from LG. i turned the max cpu speed of secound core to 300mhz and put it on power saving profile ill report back with battery info after using for a couple days at work.
wish i could use samno's kernal with undervolt that would probly give me awsome battery life, but i get no service with his kernel.
ok bad idea to turn one core all the way down got kinda jumpy and laggy veiwing xda web site lol ill try finding a sweet spot
