Hi i'd like to know how battery compares on the DS.
I hear many ppl say that on custom ROMs the battery is better, but by what margin?
There is a person saying he had his DS approxiametly in standby for 200hrs (stock)
then with a custom ROM 400hrs...
is that an accurate prediction... do the custom ROMs increase battery by that large margin?
i would have thought that having all the newer sense 3.0 , overclocked ROMs etc, would make the phones battery life worse than stock, but it seems not so....
Anyone can share their expierences please?
i dont know about stand by but if u ask about usage stock rom battery life sux.I'm on cm7 (right now) and must say that this rom is the best one for battery life...tried miui,lbc,virtuous and now cm7 so far and in cm7 is no drain at all...7-9mA on idle ..all roms drain fast if u use wifi ..if u really use ur phone whatever u use stock or custom rom u will must charge every day thats for sure
in some lines, when screen off i get use of:
Stock: 14-15ma
Custom 6-8ma
Meaning that custom rom uses half of current... means better battery life
yeah just like that

on standby you can see a huge increase in battery life if you use a custom ROM
but when you are actually using the device the battery life isn't changed that much as the display causes most of the battery drain & so reduction in battery consumption of most other processes does not affect the battery life much,but it definitely is a lot better
& also most custom ROMs underclock the device when the device is sleeping so that also helps the battery life
AOSP roms had battery drain issues,but the devs are working on it & it should be fixed soon(im not sure if its fixed yet)
Thanks everyone for your input!
Will be considering rooting my phone and installing a custom ROM , once i'm fully settled in with it

would just agree with what @kartkk said above.
Would also say that you are correct to delay, as there are a decent number of guides and weeks worth of reading material here in the forum to keep you busy and help you along the way.plus lots of us here willing to answer any questions you may have as you should be fairly confident what you are up to before you start flashing.

with Virtuous Unity my device lasts two days instead of one day (with stock rom)
Compared with stock rom im getting around 8 hours more on the miui 1.7.29 rom by superkid. I can easily get over 2 days of moderate to heavy usage

Thanks for answers everyone! Recieved my phone yesterday.. really impressed with battery life on first charge out of box on stock! Can't imagine it could be even better on custom roms!

I haven't noticed a difference really, but then again I am over clocking now by about 400Mhz. Custom roms are just better all round.

interesting question, since sense is quite often blamed for its exessive battery drain.

Heyy,,as the topic says which is the best custom ROM for Sensation and which ROM has good battery life?
You will get flamed for your post. Every rom its unique to its dev. Threads like this create a barrier for devs where one dev will get more quentin than another cuz of a thread like this. I suggest you try out the roms personally and stick to one you yourself prefer

my thoughts exactly, plus, have in mind that the very reason for an open source OS, a rooted device, and rom development, is that different people need and want different things out of their device.
cheers.
It differs even with exactly same install for two different answer. There is no combo that would work the same.

Would it be useful to have a thread that posts comparisons for each rom so users can compare key features side-by-side and objectively decide which might suit them best, without having to download and flash every single one?
Things compared could be key distinguishing features, kernels supported, average reported free ram, benchmark scores (controversial I know).
Just a thought
I tried 2-3 roms but atleast i think insertcoin is the best.Very very fast and smooth but best of all the battery life is amazing.

I'm still running stock room unrooted, while reading a lot of ROM's threads and posts. Choosing a better battery life rom.

Agreed and I just flashed coredroid 2.3. So far only on complaint battery went down when first flashed.. expected.. but the problem was I plugged in my phone and turn it off then battery would not charge. Too dead to turn on. I got past that and now battery is a lot better have used non stop for about 12 hours and down to 30 percent
Would normally have to charge after about 6 on stock. So no complaints. Also I'm partial to the blue skin

+1 for Coredroid 2.3, although I need to calibrate my battery, I flashed at 60%, when it died, I swapped batteries. So far 41 % left, just over 12 hours with 2+ hours screen on. I get over a day on stock ROM with medium to heavy use on my Anker battery.

It's not just the rom you run its the custom kernal that helps out. I run Virtuous Inquisition 4.01 and I use the Socali 1.2ghz underclocked kernal for better battery life. Even though I do a lot on it I can manage to get about 20 hours on it, lots more if I don't play videos or music.
i just tried almost every rom and i made this result:
battery life:
1. opensensation (latest update)
2. android revolution hd 6.6.3
3. OrDroid 2.2.0
[..]
performance
1. android revolution hd 6.6.3
2. hyper slite insertcoin 5.3.0
3. virtous s4v alpha3
this result are totally objective.. it is just my opinion.. i didnt test elegancia rom out because its not my favor
when i flash in a ROM i will probably take Revoulution 6.6.3 .. seems really stable..
I use ViperS 1.6.3 and BrickedKernel 3.0.36 and the performance is GREAT!!
But it drains battery .... omfg, more than stock
But it's a nice rom and with heavy usage you can use your phone for quite a day... so the balance between battery drain and performance is quite okay, so it is like I think

TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST and TEST SOME MORE see what works best on your phone
You are asking a question, so this belongs in Q&A.
And there is no answer to this question. No single ROM is going to give battery life to all people. It depends on how you use your phone, as well as other factors (radio reception in your area). There are just too many variables to account for, that a truly objective comparison of battery life between ROMs is virtually impossible. Any claims of battery life are going to be anecdotal at best. You might find some trends. But even so, for every ROM that has people saying they have better battery life, you will find some people that get worse battery life.
In general stock based roms have excellent battery life compared to cyanogen and other custom roms. Ckeanrom or hafka for example has excellent battery life. I'm using rebel rom and the battery life is also excellent.

I have to agree with what people are saying here, there is no one rom which is " better " in battery life it mainly depends on the end user.
In my personal experience, Sense based ROMs always have better battery life.

Im using viperXL on mine and love it!!
Viper XL 1.2.4. w/Beastmode Kernel 3.0 undervolted -50mv ~0.8%/hr drain overnight. Viper XL 2.0 + always was 1.5%/hr or higher, with Beastmode, undervolted 50mv as well. I have tried 2.0, 2.1, 2.4, and 3.1.0 (3.1.0 with stock kernel). All have above 1.5%/hr drain overnight.
Measured using BetterBatteryStats and MyBatteryDrain Analyzer.
All were with the same exact apps.

Hello friends.
at the moment there are many roms.
I lose the overview. :silly:
I can recommend a ne rom that is stable, final and very energy efficient?
sense should have
I had elegancia battery is bad.
revolution hd often crashes.
what do you think that is worth?

This ROM is nice stable. Don't know about energy efficiency yet though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41965655

First off, threads asking for ROM recomendations are discouraged on XDA.
Second, you have to try the ROM's and test them yourself to see which one is the best fit for you. There is no universal answer to which ROM has the best battery life. It all depends on what your usage is like. Some ROM's might be better for heavy Wifi usages. Some might be more battery efficient to heavy Bluetooth usage.
Only you can determine if a ROM is right for you. No one else can tell you which is the best ROM for you, because everyone's experience with every ROM is different.
ok then I'll test it ... thanks for the informative sometimes it is so that you can tell the energy is more than others! nevertheless many thanks to you!

One more thing...
After you install a new rom you CANNOT make a determination of how good the battery life is within the first few hours. It will take 3 to 5 full charge and discharge cycles before the battery life evens out and you can really see if ti's good for your use or not.
ok thanks, I did not know!
'll wait a week then see if it is good.
thank you
Questions asking for the best ROM are not allowed. Closed
Hi All
I have updated my HTC Desire S to JB 4.3.1 Carbon Firmware
Ever since the upgrade my battery life has decreased substantially.

Battery life varies from devise to devise and is as per usage... its better to try different roms and see which ROM is giving best battery life,for some its SVHD for some its fallout.

But for better battery life it's recommended Stock Sense ROM.
It's just my advise

I got a decent battery life out of an old CoreDroid ROM but that decreased over time to a point where the phone was not usable further away from a charging point so I switched to Cyanogenmod and have a decent battery life again.
Question
OK then.
I've got a question: How long you own Desire S?
Maybe, you've an old battery which have worse battery life...
Use a sense ROM usually you will get better battery life, also check your battery if it has started to phisically change (in the middle of battery you may have a discrete bump) if this is the situation than don't use that battery because that may physically damage your phone,sorry for my bad English
