Hi-
I have been using the BAMF Remix ROM, but have developed some problems with random factory resets occurring. I am not sure what the problem is, but I thought I would try another ROM to see if I get the same problem. Does any have any advice on a ROM that has good battery life?
Thanks in advance.
You could achieve better battery life by flashing a different kernel. Try out one of Imoysen's lean kernels for example.
I use Imoysen's lean kernels 3.0.1 same Rom and still got those issue.
The newest build of CM7 RC0.4 has great battery life.
Reboots are probably caused by your radio not the the rom/kernel.

I wish that was the case for me. I was losing battery pretty decently while using CM7 RC0.4. I haven't had a lot of luck battery wise with any ROM I have loaded thus far.

That's a shame. On the new build of CM7, after tonight, I will easily be getting +25 hours per charge.
Where are the releases of CM7? I only see the one that was updated on the first.

MR2 - almost-Stock plainjanev3 with stock kernel.
GB roms are not as good as Froyo Roms at the moment (unless you count sense 3.0 aspects as a performance feature).
I am running Mike's Android Revolution HD based on HTC Sensation "non-XE" HTC base ROM and am experiencing a strange glitch. I would have posted this in the developers section but I have under 10 posts.
I have a Rooted S-OFF Sensation running this ROM and it works very well, exept for one thing. When my TMOUS Sensation's screen turns off, I normally can just hit the top button and the unlock screen comes right up, but sometimes, the lockscreen does not come up and I am forced to pull the battery on my phone. This happenes about once every couple of days. I have tried wiping and reflashing to no avail.
Please help.

Hi,
Which ROM are you running,and with which kernel?
Clean install,upgrade,what have you wiped before you started.
You need to provide some more information,so that you can get the correct help.
Info
Mike's Android Revolution HD based on HTC Sensation "non-XE" HTC base ROM 4.1.6, I have tried wiping using Mike's Superwipe and reflashing this version (Newest version) twice, same issue, I am running 2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.2.3r+ Kernel and my radio version is 10.58.9035.00p_10.15.9035.02_2. I flashed the newest radio listed for this ROM, oddly, it is suposed to be 10.58.9035.00u, I use T-Mobile so that could be affecting it.

Hi,
Thank you.
There are known issues with that kernel.
I suggest you try the latest kernel,which you can find in my signature.
Go into recovery,
Wipe your cache partition and dalvik,
Flash the kernel,(exactly like a ROM)
reboot and enjoy.
Flashed newest Faux Kernel.
I flashed the new kernel, and I also flashed your battery mod, looks great btw
One last question, isnt my baseband suposed to be U and not P? why does it say P despite the fact I flashed the newest one for this ROM? and will it negatively affect performance?

Hi,
Glad you like the mod.
Those letters in the radio just refer to the carrier,and do not affect the performance in any way.
Thanks!
Awsome, I really really apprechiate it.
Thank you!
hey shenoka.. how is it?
I am really annoyed with this rom... I used it for my desire hd and never had a problem with it.. since I started using it on my sensation mike screwed it up massively... He is too stubborn to use the bricked kernel which rips on the faux rubbish that he is using now. I switched over to insertcoin because of this massive stuff up. So many people have complained about it and it took him this long to fix it if he hasn't already. The faux kernel is a joke and has always frozen up and have to be rebooted on me even especially in the morning when u expect the alarm to go off but the stupid faux kernel doesn't think it should go off.
And this same problem was happening for me on the de version so it definitely has to do with the kernel.
Anyways enough of my frustration has been let off about this rom. How is the new 0.2.5.2 kernel? Because I know that the 0.2.3r was rubbish for me and still did the stupid screen not turning on. I'm not going back to this rom until I am certain that the kernel won't do this same thing again.
Also has anyone noticed that with this rom u also have to sometimes fight to turn off the screen because it turns back on when u only click the power button once? Doesn't happen on insertcoin.

Why so much hate for 2 devs that are giving their wares away for FREE? There are numerous posts (today & yesterday even) on the development thread discussing how this happens, the fact that yes it is the faux kernel that has the bug, and how to install bricked if you wish.
Your frustration is understood. Isn't it nice to have so many choices of ROMs/kernels for your phone for free? I think these devs deserve more respect.
Ok i have flashed ARHD and that's it. I haven't messed with anything else. But i am getting a huge battery drain even when i am not doing anything on the phone. Look at the images attached to this post. As you can see at some point the phone is awake even though i haven't touched it. I left it for 24 hours, with minimal use at the start and then i just left it at home. I have disabled background data. Can anyone help me with this? Is it because of ARHD rom?

Hi,
Poor battery life is probably down to the kernel you are using.
It's about experimenting to find the best ROM/kernel combination.
Choose from either Faux kernels HERE
Or bricked kernels HERE
Make a nandroid backup.
Place kernel on the root of tour sd card,
wipe cache and dalvik,
flash kernel like ROM,
reboot.
Thanks for your reply!
I just noticed version 3.6.12 was out and flashed it. It's with latest Faux kernel. Will test this out and see how it is. If it's same then i will try bricked kernels. Anyone you would recommend for this rom ?

Hi,
3.6.13 only came out today.
You need to give it a chance before you can judge it.
If you do get poor battery life ,you need to experiment a bit with the ROM/kernel combination.

It was just a question, I'm sorry if it looked agressive :>
I tried ARHD x.11 and x.12 and have had this awful wifi battery drain aswell but I didn't try another kernel because I was very new to the Android OS. After that, I have tried some other custom roms but I didn't fell in love like it happend with ARHD. So just wanted to know if this bug is still there or if something has changed.

I've had this battery drain with every ARHD roms and some other roms and it seems like nothing can fix it. My guess is .13 wont help me either.
I only had this problem with the ARHD roms. Which radio do you use?
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 which is recommended for that rom
Hi!
I'm bit noob at this but I have used ARHD roms since 3.x now using 6.0.2 xe version.
Never had such battery drain, used latest kernels from faux at 3.x now 6.0.2 uses stock
Kernel and my battery drain is in idle about 1%/hour..
Have you tried fresh install? I read somewhere that the kernel should install first then Rom?

Hi,
That drain you are showing is not actually that bad...
When I was on 3.x.x it was worse than yours.
You cannot compare phones like that.
They are running different OS,different hardware,so they are not comparable.
I used to get 1-2 mA drain on my HD2,but you will never see anything that low on the Sensation.
Why don't you try THIS KERNEL

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Google Nexus S and I put NextGen v0.5 Rom. I'm very happy with this rom and my nexus s is pretty fast and stable with this rom.
But now I have a problem with battery! My battery is empty for about 8-9 hours!!
Can anybody helps me who uses this rom or on some other way how to extend my battery life for couple of hours more?!?
Thank you!

I put Serenity kernel on my device and I couldnt start nexus s. In fact I turn on my phone and it comes to starting image (sign X and its loading to go into android) and i stays there. I left device for about 2-3 minutes and nothing happened.
So I decided to install HellyBean.
But thank you for your help and NextGen is excellent rom (except battery) and I look forward for newer version

BTW, Good luck with HellyBean:good::fingers-crossed:
2-3 minutes? you're clearly not patient. You realize sometimes when you flash a new kernel it takes awhile to boot up? You should've given it at least 3-5mins for the first bootup.

There's nothing wrong with the ROM or kernel. My ROM is AOSP, so it not booting up has to do with your phone. If you look at the thread, no one else is having a boot up problem but you, so please don't blame the ROM right away. You gave it 2 minutes to boot up after flashing a new kernel and then gave up on it.
You asked for help about the ROM and I'm trying to give it to you, but it seems you're just looking for a way out of NGA.
Like I said, nothing to do with the ROM, I'm running it right now with the same kernel as you, perfectly.
Well guys im using viper one s rom, its really really bad! i think the stock was better... it looks good but its very very very bad! why?
Battery life - few hours, this rom eats my battery
Rebooting more than few times a day
so its useless and annoying.
What im looking for ? Rom which has
Decent battery life
No reboots
Very good camera app such as sense 5
without WIFI,GPS,BLUETOOTH BUGS
With beats audio enchancer, well its not obligatory but i like this bass
Android 4.2++
My one s have Hboot 2.15 and s on and twrp recovery, so i need rom for this settings. Please help !

If you want the latest sense ROM and the most customization, then Viper is the way to go. Make sure you are using:
-The correct ROM for your device e.g. S4 ROM for S4 device
-Check all the MD5 sum
-Recommended Radio
-Clean install
Also try a custom kernel like ElementalX. Viper has always had the best stability and battery life of any custom ROM I've tried.
