[Q]Battery life between 2 roms

Gummy or Humble? Thx in advace guys!
EDIT: Please move to general. Sorry~

When I was on Froyo, I used Gummy first then tried out Humble. Humble gave me better battery life.
Now I'm on GummyCharged 1.5 Gingerbread and still getting good battery life. I think the main thing is to condition your battery. This starts with always flashing ODIN ROMs with a fully charged battery, this makes all the difference I believe.
I didn't see any reason to stay on Froyo, Kejar has done an amazing job with GummyCharged and fixed all the issues I was concerned with moving to GB.

Thx! u helped a lot

I've gotten best battery life on Eclipse v1.2. Altho I will say Humble was not to bad either but for whatever reason Eclipse gets better signal which makes a world of difference on battery life.
I've also tried the GB builds and IMO they are still not up to par. They are all based on leaked files that are nowhere near ready for release yet. And on that note there is newer builds then the one that is leaked even.

I loved Eclipse but my GPS wasn't getting a lock better than 10meters.
Humble 1.3 was absolutely garbage for me in terms of battery life, but the new version 1.33 is AMAZING
I charged my phone up last night and calibrated the battery, left it unplugged the entire night (i was sleeping) , 9 hours later i woke up and my battery only dropped 7 percent. I was at 93. Previously, i was losing 20 percent battery if i left my phone on overnight.

Stock my best bet?

so sup guys. I'm getting my charge tomorrow as a replacement for this fascinate which I loved especially the devs. But seeing all these problems with the roms I'm guessing staying stock might be my best guess. If any of you have had problems that make a rom unusable or haven't had any problems at all I would love to hear from you

I tell you its so easy to flash back to start it would be worth it to flash a rom period. Now that said I am on Humble 1.4 from with voodoo kernel, and there is no problems at at. Everything in this rom is butter smooth. I wouldn't worry about what people say about different roms. If you listen to what everyone says, then you might be scared of everything.
Enjoy the phone

I came from the Fassy as well I received my Charge today. Its as easy to root as the Fassy and I have had no problems with the humble Rom yet.
They do have the odin to get back to stock, but its all your comfort level.
Also you will see some familiar faces in the development forum here.

I rooted my Charge with the Humble Odin package within 24 hours of getting it. I haven't had a problem yet and am undeniably pleased with the performance of my phone.
All the issues I've had have been operator error when trying to upgrade to newer versions (which was twice, and I swear I'm going to remember to disable voodoo next time lolol).

Thanks for the quick input guys. I'm pretty Co.fortable I flashed the balls off my fascinate(even managed to permanently brick once - phone turned on to orange screen and that was all) lolol seems like humbles the way to gO. I can't wait for official legit MIUI.

I will miss aosp and JTs CM7 but i read that OMFGB is already in the works and i like what i saw on the Fassy from them.

I came from a fascinate myself. Ive tried almost every rom with almost every kernel. I was getting quad scores of upper 1600s with humble 1.4 and imnuts 709 kernel and i over clocked it to 1.4. The battery life was twice of my fascinate on that set up. About 3-4 hrs of hard use. I'm about customizing though. I now use gummy gb with a theme. The quad scores are mid 1200s. These are what Ive found to be the best and have little to no flaws. Hope this helps.

I was afraid to hack my charge but I did it anyway. I'm running tbh's gingerbread debloated and it works like a charm

If I was you, I would probably wait until Friday and flash the release that danalo is coming out with for Humble (Froyo). 1.4 seems to have some minor bugs that you may want to avoid that should be completely ironed out in the next release of Humble. The GB roms don't appear to have the maturity to get past some of the weird bugs such as terrible battery life and reduced LTE speeds so I would probably stay away from them for now.
Humble with animations off and LCD density set back to 240 has been running perfectly for me.

Same here

That's true I now remember people complaining of getting 30% of normal lte speeds. I think I'm sticking with stock rom for now.( I'm gonna miss my Netflix though.

I've been running gb for a few days now and have no bugs at all. The battery is almost the same has humble froyo. The only catch with humble 1.4 that I found was no gb keyboard. To solve that you go to titanium back up before flashin 1.4 backup gb keyboard flash 1.4 then back to titanium to restore gb keyboard.

[Q] Rom Help

Hey people
I am getting the charge tomorrow after having the fascinate for 6 months..I used CWM and ran Evil Fasacination on that for most of the time and i wanted some help on seeing what everyone thought was the best rom or kernel was to go to after using thoes thing. Also i want to know how to do it with the charge and is it like the fascinate?
Thanks

don't mean to be rude but wrong section bro, mods move this to general...
anyways your best choices right now to get the Fassy experience are probably froyo roms with a voodoo kernel

Personally, and I have tried many of the Rom's, I ended up using the Debloated Ginger Bread Leak EP1F and Loaded the EE4 Radios from Kejar31 and here is why. On Froyo, which is what your phone will come with, the battery did not last that long. I loaded the EP1F G/B leak and noticed a huge difference. I tried the latest leak EP1H but noticed a few issues so I went back to EP1F. I was having an issue with 4G and running Barnicle as well as other issues on EP1H but since I went back and loaded the EE4 Radios things have been great.... Once you do you can download Launcher Pro from the market and rootexplorer and tweek anything else you need to tweek.
Hope it helps.

If you liked Evil Fascination, then the choice is obvious: Eclipse, which is Nitro's ROM for this phone and is basically EF+ for the Charge. Just had a big update today, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144015
And FYI, the last poster's claims about Froyo battery life are just wrong. It's the kernel that really determines your battery life, and as for that, just like on the Fascinate, your best bet for great battery life is imnuts' undervolted PeanutButta Jelly Time:

Read the 1st word I wrote (Personally) Don't tell me I am wrong. I stated my experience and there is no way I am wrong. Also for your info, many people stated they are having better battery life on Ginger Bread then they did on Froyo. If you disagree you have your right to state your opinion but don't state I was wrong based on my experience. I have tried PB&J and tried both A/B and Gummy and I have not experienced as good battery life as I have on Ginger Bread.

Gingerbread vs froyo roms

So I'm bouncing back and forth between gummy and humble but i've yet to leave froyo. Is there a difference in performance between froyo and gingerbread... For roms not stock.?

Stock GB is faster than stock EE4 Froyo.
Froyo with all of the speed enhancing fixes and scripts is faster than stock GB.
I haven't tested any ROMs really with GB yet so I can't say, but I don't think there are many speed fixes for it yet...
Most of what you'll hear about GB is placebo effect, tbh. Just wait for OTA GB.

Stock EP1W (GB) is pretty snappy. I personally haven't had a single FC or reboot as of yet. This is supposedly the 'official' GB build.
Also I believe the soon to be released Gummy GBE 2.0 as well as DarkSlide ROMs are going to be based off the EP1W framework.

You really won't notice much difference between the two, but Froyo with speed tweaks scores much higher in Quadrant of that's your kind of thing.

But if you ignore benchmarks and just go by feel, GB beats the hell out of any Froyo rom.

I didn't notice any speed differences. If anything, GB was slower than Froyo. But then again, the last GB version I tried was EP1F.

u should try out EP1W if only for ****s & giggles.
Feels like a different animal..

I just cane back to froyo on humble 1.6 from the EP1w gb leak, and I have to say that I really like the feel of GB so far. With supercharged v7 running, the phone felt very snappy, never had a random reboot, and performance was all around great.
The main thing that brought me back to FROYO was the fact that the GPS fix hasn't (to my knowledge) made it to GB yet. I use my GPS a lot, and I couldn't stand going back to waiting over a minute for a lock.
Bow that I am back on froyo I am noticing the same inconsistent signal strength that frustrated me in the first place... so I will probably go back to GB soon. Battery life, signal strength and overall feel are nice on GB, but the call quality suffers with the new modems.

EP1W is *much* better than EP1F. F was quite buggy and slow. I tried it briefly and then quickly went back to EE4. Q was quicker. It still had a few minor bugs, but I used it as my daily driver. W is butter. It's a dream to use and it is most certainly release quality. I've yet to run into anything I recognize as a bug. If you care about Quadrant, I'm getting between 1600 and 1750 on EP1W, with or without ext4. As I said before, it just feels smoother than anything else. The default brown theme is horrible, but I've managed to get rid of most of it with UOT.

I haven't had any GPS problems on EP1W. I did have slow locks on EE4 sometimes, but haven't had any on EP1W. The lock often beats Google Maps drawing. One thing I do use is GPS Status to keep A-GPS up to date, but I did that in EE4 as well.

Best rom for battery life and speed?

Wondering what the best rom for me to use would be?
I also feel like my phone uses too much battery searching for data.it burned 25% in 1 hour without use. Just because I didn't have a 3g signal
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.0 using XDA App

ROM has much less impact on battery life than the kernel. The best battery life you're going to get right now is on Froyo with an overclock kernel so that you can undervolt as low as your phone can handle.

I recommend updating your modems to the newest EP3HA leak. I have had much better data connectivity since. If you are in a building that is causing the issue it may or may not help.

how exactly do i do that?

nothing special put them in the PDA slot in Odin and flash it like a rom, then boot up your phone and you're good

Just wondering if when I flash the imo 3.1 for charge like you have in your comment (using humble 4.22) will it show 2.6.35.7-EP3 for the kernel in the "About Phone"? Just trying to verify if the flash worked.

I like it actually despite it being a beta however there's still issues one of which is with lagfix/ext4 conversion that soft bricks the phone so stock RFS for now (I should change the sig lol)... its fast enough and the cyan/ICS look is pretty cool, no accurate battery readings yet as I've had to flash it a few times the past few days to test stuff but it seems to be pretty decent
I also managed to grab a beta of Imnuts/TSM Infinity rom for EP3H that I used for a while and that was pretty awesome.. it was smooth, stable and had pretty good battery life, I don't know when they're gonna release as a final rom but it looked done pretty much.. there is an Infinity rom for EP1W though that's the same if you don't mind not having the latest leak lol

yes I believe it is.. as for the roms the devs will release test packages either on twitter or in the IRC webchat, they usually need people to try them out and report bugs
