Running BAMF 1.0.7 and was wondering if anyone has tried this? Also noticed it's a much smaller file than most roms
Its as fast and basic as you want it to be with a lot of customization options. Just upgraded from 2.6 and I'm loving it. For battery life I don't think there's a better choice.
Edit: I should note that coming from my other android phones the htc sense interface pretty much makes my skin crawl, so those have never been options for me.

Just loaded it today and it is very nice. Very fast, smooth and lots of features.
AOSP ROMs are going to be much smaller in size than Sense ROMs, averaging 100 MB or so.
This ROM is excellent. Very fast!

Been running it since prerelease betas. It was good enough for a daily back then. Now its just stunning. Arguably the best aosp rom available...

Hi there
I have an HTC Desire HD, currently running CM7.0.3 ROM. Its my first ROM I have used and it seems to be one of the popular ones. I'm loving the speed my phone is now running at, and the smooth UI, But there is one big problem since I have flashed this ROM, My battery life is ridiculous. 3 hours of usage and its down to 15%, Im charging my phone twice a day and its about 2 months old.
Stock android had excellent battery life. Now besides the battery life I am kinda bored with the ROM now.
I'm looking for advice on which ROM you recommend, There are so many, I just want some personal opinions.
This is what I am looking for in a ROM:
GOOD BATTERY LIFE
Stylish panels and buttons
Must be based on the latest Android software
Overclocking options
Smooth and fast running
Ag hell, If you know of an excellent ROM with Excellent battery life then let me know. Please post a link to its page and why you love it.
Thanks!
Coredroid are a great set of roms for the desire ...ive been using them for a while and they have never failed me
What's the best ROM for the Sensation in regards with battery life? And performance too (2nd priority)?
Or what do you use and why?
I know asking this question is against the law on XDA, but my girlfriend gave me her phone and asked me make it better. I have a Droid Razr and have it rooted and such. And have rooted/flashed HD2s, HD7s, G2X, and Droid Bionics, so I am not a complete noob.
LeeDroid has been the most stable ROM Iv;e used with the best battery life and performance.
What specifically doesn't she like about the stock rom? It might be easier to make a suggestion, for example, if she hates sense.
Well she's not tech-savy. All she complains about is battery life. And something with better performance will be a nice surprise.
I just came from a few different sense 3.5 roms to an Optimized Stock rom by maff1989. I was tired of random reboots on the sense 3.5 roms plus my battery life sucked so yesterday I switched. My brother has a completely stock sensation and his battery often outlasted mine so you could probably cross those out. Just my experience.
Have you checked her battery log to see what's draining it the most?
I actually gave my girlfriend my Nexus One, which I flashed Cyan on and installed a purple theme(her favorite color) from the market, showed her how to use the photo album widgets, and such. She's become pretty savy with it now, and she loved it when I gave it to her.
Well you're never going to get "good" battery life on a Sensation, but you can improve it. My wife runs InsertCoin 2.5.5 with Bricked kernel 1.5 r1 beta 1, undervolted by 25k and she doesn't complain.
Right now I'm running Pyramid3D 8.2.1 with Bricked 1.6 beta 2 kernel, undervolted by 50k, stripped sense. This is a fresh flash, but so far, so good.
But like I said, neither of our phones have "good" battery life. If I had to rate, I'd just say "ok" but better than stock.
In my experience, they love MIUI w/ Go Launcher EX.
With the MIUI default launcher I remember she hated it. It was a "too boring" iPhone look. Go Launcher EX fixed that problem, just hook her up with the widgets in these 3 apps and she will love it

My vote goes for MIUI ROM.
Great battery life, bling, simple, looks different then other ROMs , if your gf is not concerned with sense and wants a custom Rom that does what HTC's android don't then it's the best option.
The reason that I wrote this is because in my circle people give me their androids to root them, but they have no idea what rooting is , I have tried several roms on Samsung Galaxy 3,galaxy s, galaxy s2,LG optimus one, hd2, HTC incredible, HTC EVO 3d, and more but generally people have a better opinion about MIUI, than others, and its because of different themes and outlook of MIUI, while other roms are not so different compared to MIUI (SKIN DEEP IS WAT I MEAN).I personally use ARHD 4.1.X. (Sense 3.5) on my sensation.
Well you can get her on a CM7 based rom and she already knows how to use it so that part is easy... Then secondly I would get one of the Anker extended batteries and make sure you go through a few battery cycles and on top of that try undervolting it to like a 1ghz i mean the iphone 4 is only 800mhz lol

I got 48 hours on stock. I get 24 hours on ARHD. Going back to stock then probably selling it.
Check out the ROM in my sig. I think she'll like it.
Very stable, very fast, and great battery life (1.5 - 2 days moderate use, 4+ days standby)
Pyramid 3D or LeeDROiD Sensational. My two favorite hands down, and I've tried them all.

I just bought a MyTouch 4G Slide and I'm looking at the different ROM choices. My biggest two concerns are with camera function and battery life.
I have used Cyanogen on my past couple phones and have loved it, so I was looking at CM7 SelfKang. I can deal with only having 2x zoom and 720p video, but some of the comments mentioned poor battery life.
I have been reading into a couple different ROMs, but I'm not quite sure which one would be the best regarding both camera and battery aspects. I'm looking to get opinions from those of you who are more familiar with what is out there.
Thank you!

If you can get it to work right . some have no problems others do .. Rubix ICS 5.3 with the Sense camera is a awesome rom ... I had problems with it . others say it works great
If you want a nice, stable rom. That keeps all the stock feature, but with out the Sense look. Use Rubix ICS on Rootzwiki. It's based of the shipped stock rom. GB 2.3.4.
If you want ICS with working Video and Camera. Use any of Tbaldens ICS Roms but his CM9 Port. You losse 720p video, but really. One can manage with out 1080p. You need a class 6 or higher SD card for full 1080p, otherwsie it is 720p.
If you want a crazy fast Rom use the AOKP port by XMC Wildchild.
If you want a super fast stock rom, use BulletProof.
If you want Sense 3.0 use Rubix Sensation on XDA.
My Personal Fav is the Virtuious Senseless on Root, or PryoIce Senseless.

All Roms not using the CM7 kernel have amazing battery.

So after a couple months of development and improvement, how are the Sense 4.0 ROMS running for everybody? At first, I heard news of bugs and features not working, but what are your experiences with the ROMS? Can anybody tell me how battery life and performance are changed from Sense 3.6 ROMS? Thank you .
For me sense 4 is workin like a charm,im using ordroid 8.2.0,i didnt find anything not workin for me,but battery life compared to virtuos inquistion is pretty much worse,that i can confirm.
But with my anker i get through whole day without problem.
Working fine. Better battery life than Sense 3.6 for me and better performance in some places.
It works fine but if you compare it let's say arhd it does have done lag specially when making transitions but overall it's great I prefer it over sense 3.6

I think sense 4.0 roms are awesome, great battery life and performance and massive aray of tweaks. Only bugs left are hdmi out and wi-fi tether
My sense 4 Rom is Ordroid 9.0.0, It's running wonderfully. The battery life is awesome , the tweaks and customization are awesome, very smooth , fast,
Very nice. Only one problem and that's tethering . I really miss being able to tether but not enough to install a different Rom. I've tried out several different sense 4 Roms but find myself going back to Ordroid . In my opinion nothing yet compares to it! I've not yet had one problem (other than tethering) its really a smooth Rom. I hope this helps some. It's really a very personal decision , and what fits your style and taste the best. But as for having sense 4 problems , not at all! It's been perfect! You really should try it out , I think you will be surprised at how smooth and fast it is! Also you will love the customization ability! I know I do! I think you will really love sense 4. Hope this helps out some and good luck in whatever you decide.

Hey everyone. So I've been rolling VI since almost day one when I bought my Sensation used in February. Coming from AOSP roms on my old Desire, I wanted a similar experience. It's been running extremely smooth and it basically runs anything I throw at it.
However, I'm starting to get an itch to try out some of the new Sense 4 ROMs that have been popping up of late. I used to love Sense on the Desire, but felt it slowed down the phone considerably compared to AOSP builds (Sense 3.X especially).
Are there any performance drags by going to a Sense 4 rom? I'd love the extra features, but I also highly value snappy performance. Also I'd love to hear a few suggestions of solid Sense 4.0 ROMs to try. From what I can see, PKMN, Insertcoin, and Ordroid are popular choices?
Any thoughts? Much appreciated
There is indeed a performance drag on every sense 4 rom I've tried (all of them). Its not that they're laggy or anything but moving from application to application has a one or two second delay, sometimes more, so the roms are just kind of slower. Just do a nandroid backup and try it out.
Most people will tell you there isn't any kind of speed issue but if you favor performance like I do, you'll see it instantly.
I don't notice a problem with sense 4, in fact its very nice. Download and judge for yourself. I think you will
Be suprised on how nice they are. If you don't care for it, no harm done, just flash back. Its always best to try for yourself and make your own conclusion. Best of luck.

I've had a similar experience .. After a couple of months during which I (happily) used VI, the urge to flash was too strong.. and since VI wasn't updated any more I started trying the main roms on the forum..
Sense 4 is very nice, but I'm very sensible to smoothness and speed and imho senseless aosp rom are by far the best at the moment.
Now I've been using berserk for a while and It has become my daily driver
