I was reading through that thread.... seems like a lot of people are having issues and having to flash multiple times to get it to work.... not my idea of stable, but thanks for the tip.
thanked accordingly
stable, fast and no rogers boot stuff would be sweet...
also, those 2 you mention are the same thread right? I flash one then the other? loading now...

ok, so I flashed the first, then the second... wish me luck
anything else I need to do? *rogers sgs2

using the sky ice cream sandwhich currently and aside from the odd lce launcher crashes, no complaints just yet.... but I will check it out, thx

I've flashed all ROMS in the dev section.
TPC V3 with da_g's kernel has been the fastest and most stable for me. Hands down.
Red Sonjia is by far the worst.

Loving me some sky ice cream sandwich right now, but Red Sonja is looking mighty tempting. The devs are doing us right with this device imo

Red Sonja is a great functioning stable rom but I prefer sky ice cream or rooted debloated stock.

I'm fairly new to android but i have a Rogers LTE and I am a software tester as my day time job..
I tried the TPC V3 and it was pretty good but i ran into some issues after a few days. I posted them somewhere on here but here they are again
1) the battery drained pretty quickly.
2) while in contacts it will all of a sudden jump to a random letter
3) when i try and open angry birds or fruit ninja it flashes and goes back to the home screen
4) when i reboot my phone the time is wrong and i have to set it to network time again
5) in the factory browser when i rotate the device it automatically goes back to Google.com no matter what page i am viewing, also it closes all my open windows too
Cosmetically - i'm not a fan of the 4G LTE icon and the Blue circle battery meter..
but this dev seems to update his stuff regularly and i am looking forward to trying it again as it was pretty fast and smooth.
I am currently just Rooted with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
it works well and the battery life seems to be pretty good.. on LTE all day it lasts and wifi at home in the evening.. it still has the Rogers Bloatware on it but i just put into a CRAP folder and leave it at that..

Cyanogenmod 7 is the best with DA_G kernel version 4 for cm7. Phone is ultra stable & alot faster then it was with the Stock rom or any of the other custom roms.

What is the most popular ROM?

I'm using the Stock UCLA3 debloated but am having a hard time deciding which ROMs to try out there are just so many.

I guess thread activity is probably the best indicator of most popular. In that case it's Sky Ics by a long shot with over 4k replies and 400k views.

Just so you know the most popular ROM might not be the one you like best, read all the OPs of the ROM pages and see which one fits your needs best.

Sky ics is really good but make sure you flash a ucla3 kernel with it like faux 10 or romracers stockish .3, since you're using the ucla3 radio

+1 to this. Thread activity does not equal popularity. You just have to read the threads through and get a feel for everybody's opinions and to see common issues or lack thereof.

I think, well imo, that TPC has been the most stable ROM out there. I've tried so many popular roms like sky ics, buoyancy, cyanotouchwiz. But I always end up go back to TPC. The 2nd rom I'd choose would be sky ics. It is fast and smooth except only one thing:
It has an issue with force close and I THINK I know how it happens - some widgets won't work on homepage. For instance 3D flip clock. Whenever you add the widget on the homepage, it will force close right away.
Overall TPC is more stable and saves more battery life. I use the phone a lot and I end up with 20% after 12 hours use. Hope it helps

I second this, TPC is by far the most stable. Coupled with UCLA3 and faux kernel 0.10 and ur laughing

Nexus Mod4 , so far has been rock solid on my phone. I was gonna use Cyanogen, but their Alpha build is way too buggy.

I have been running MHX-Superlite 2 with Faux's 009 kernel and all I can say is WOW! Stable, fast, and best of all the battery life is amazing.

You should upgrade to 3.0...its way better

your best bet like some1 else said is to try a few see what u like
Once you start flashing.. U dont go back to STOCK! ;p
Stock is crap

Haha what he said_^^^^^^^

don't listen to either of these guys ^^^, they both don't know what they're talkin about ;-)

Yeah i recommend you get off of stock as fast as possible....... find a good stock like ROM..hmmm..... anyone know a good one? OH YEAH.. crap i forgot.

MHX-Superlite! thats what it was!
cause idk about this StockMod 2 everyone is talking about..
Just kidding you should really just check them out all at least all the new UCLA3 based ROMS, Sky-ice just doesnt seem right anymore with it being based off 2.3.5 and UXKJ2 so i reccomend going for a UCLA3 ROM.

Using MHX-SUPERLITE 3.0. Not have one problem. Fast smooth and great battery life

Battery life---Custom Roms

Has anybody seen a good Rom to improve battery life for the Inspire 4g? I have had horrible battery life with this phone, and that is the main reason why it is now my backup-hacking phone..

Although I've had good luck with CM7 roms. I guess you should start flashing those, then work to others.

The redemption rom is pretty good on battery but since the I4G has a small battery to begin with I would suggest using a vanilla rom/aokp and turning off mobile data, wifi, etc when it's not needed

Battery life suckz. Stupid phone has screwed me over in NYC too many times to count.

I feel sorry for you guys. I don't know how you people use smartphones and can't figure out how to max your battery life. Turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and gps when you are not actively using them. Always on mobile data is a killer. Disable all push notifications. And the biggest one is set custom automatic brightness adjustment. I set mine manually most of the time because stock, particularly with sense, is way too high. Even in a pitch black room it won't dial the back light down to minimum.

From my experience, you could try the Virtuous rom with sense 3.5, it has pretty good battery life.

I've had my Inspire for a year and two months aprox., still with the stock battery. On GB the best battery life I had was on Virtuous Affinity 2.05, MIUI 2.4.20, and CM7.2 with LC's kernel. Also, IceColdSandwich 8.6.1 has given me a pretty good battery life. Yesterday I flashed JellyTime R12 and can't talk too much about this one. Always remember the basics, turn off stuff you are not using. And remember, every phone is different so the best way to know is to flash yourself and test for a few days.

This is the best I've gotten on aospx br7
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

I'm another user of aospx br7. It's an ics rom. Great rom been using it for a while now. No issuses.

Cleardroid with bd-ace kernel. Use setcpu to govern the performance. Easily +20 hours with moderate use.
Sent from my inspire 4g using xda app-developers app

I recently switched to Sabsa Prime 6.0 from ARHD 6.3.2 and battery life has a noticible improvement, as well as performance. Plus it's working ICS.

I don't know if it's my usage or what..None of the ROM gave me battery life of more than a day.Right now due to lot of chatting,i hardly get a day backup.
Used Existz's AOSPX,IceColdSandwich and now finally on Sabsa Prime v6.0
----------------
Device:Inspire 4G
ROM:Sabsa Prime v6.0
Kernel:virtuous_infinity-v1.35.0

I am a moderate to heavy user and I work in a poor coverage area. All roms I have used, FroYo, GB, ICS, AOSP or Sense, get me to lunch. I plug in while on my break and that will get me home. I never go anywhere without car and wall chargers. Use it how you want. With the size of the battery and the size of the display, you won't get a lot of use between charging.
Not just a pretty Pickle.

ROM for best battery life

I just got the Samsung Galaxy s3 the other day and I am impressed. I was coming from an iPhone 4. Only thing I don't like is the battery life. So far I've flashed synergy 1.7, beans build 8, and Scotts cleanrom. Synergy seems to be the best on battery life, but I just want to know what others think. Also, I am running IMO lean kernel .01 on all of them at stock speeds. Not over clocked. Just wanting opinions.

Try synergy 1.3, best rom with excellent battery life
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

There really is no best rom, it's all about user preference and exactly what you do with your phone. Try them each out for a week to weigh the pros/cons (or in your case scope out the battery life), then go with the one that you like best.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I'm anal when it comes to being updated. My personal preference is staying on the latest. I just want decent battery life. I'm already on 91% and I took it off the charger an hour ago

Thanks for the info but I've done that. They all seem the same. I think my real concern is the kernel. I like Scotts cleanrom but I wanna know which kernel is recommended for battery and performance
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

All the ROMs do a pretty good job. If battery life is your #1 concern and nothing else matters:
1. keep screen brightness on minimum. Screen filter can reduce brightness even more.
2. If you use wifi, set it to sleep unless charging.
3. Don't use 4g. Use 3g only.
4. Disable syncing or data entirely and only manually sync when you need to. (Something like JuiceDefender can automate this)
5. Disable google backup.
6. Disable GPS and verizon/google location services.
7. Disable bluetooth.
8. Check and eliminate all wakelocks using betterbattery stats.
9. Turn off all haptic feedback.
10. Freeze all Samsung and Verizon related services using titanium Backup.
11. Maybe a mild underclock on your kernel.
At this point, you will get great battery on your dumbphone with a giant screen

Haha thanks man. Yeah I'm just stupud about battery. I pay attention to it too much. I'll do all that. Stupid giant screen indeed

Sent from Galaxy S3 running CleanRom 1.0, Imo v.01

I was having horrific battery on 1.7 with IMO's 0.1 beta. I completely wiped and reinstalled 1.7 on stock kernel, let my battery completely die and charged it up last night. Today I am at 90% after 3.5 hours unplugged listening to pod casts the whole time and texting and reddit app. Yesterday I was at 78% doing much less and unplugged for less time. I think when updating to new ROMs its important to do a full wipe and make sure if you use TiBu don't restore any system data. I don't have anything frozen as well

I'm getting almost 24 hours with about 2 hours of screen time, so much better coming from a Galaxy Nexus

What are wakelocks and how would I go about doing that? Which services are safe to freeze?

hey guys i just got an s3 and im new to this ad understand there more roms. what is currently the rom with the best battery life? I use my phone quite heavily with power saver mode on and it still doesn't last me a whole day. im on stock and still have to root. cheers

most roms are same across the board.. I would recc. synergy as is w/ziggy kernel. turn off 4g/sync/gps when not using it. :good:

Best ROM available

I know its all personal preference, but I don't get a chance to check the forums as much as id like. I'm looking for something with speed and performance. I don't want to have to deal with a lot of problems tho. I'm currently running clean ROM which I felt like it was the best at the time, but their may b something better.

I'd have to say my two favorites are Hyperdrive and AxisM... On my SIII the new lean kernel was fast and smooth.

All the time you are using checking back on this thread could have been used to read some rom ops to see what would suit you best.

Not hostile but you won't understand until you actually see hundreds of these everyday that's why there is a search button or even categories within a certain device. It may sound dumb to say but it's the truth and people complain why they are being hated on. This is a developers site not a daddy website for people to link you wherever you please. And still I'm sorry if I sound a but rough but it's the truth of what people tend to do after even reading the rules.
