First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.
I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.
I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion
I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.
I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.
This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently
I will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Too bad this poll hasn't gotten a larger voting result. I would love to see the poll with votes in the hundreds.
You forgot CM7 alpha 7.... ive tried a couple different roms and lees and mikes dont compare to CM7.
Not all SOCs are created equal
I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.
1. ARHD 4.1.6
2. InsertCoin 3.4.4
3. Reverted AOSP
4. MIUI.us Latest
My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.
I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.
I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.
Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.
IMAO, CM7 is awesome, more than 1 day with medium use !

I've been using ARHD for about 2 weeks now and battery has been absolutely horrible. I cant seem to get more than 4 1/2 hours without getting to 25%. I'm going to try InsertCoin next. Can't wait for the ICS version on CM though!
Sense-O-Maniac Rom which is already debloated runs fast & batt life is awesome!
P3D is the best for me.

That's the main reason, others roms usually wait at least a couple weeks before getting the latest update.
If I were to flash another rom, it would probably be Revolver because of all the extra little mods revolver parts bring, but at the moment I'm very impressed with the speed of Android Revolution.
I use revolver so far, mainly becuase of revoler parts app
I use Revolver rom, reason :
Fast
Revolver Part with many gadget ( Theme, Kernel etc... )
Update in time

I'm using Prime.
The boot output is so cool!
I like its pre-configured addons.
And I'm feeling more comfort with it
I liked the boot animation of Prime, but I like the Revolver ROM the most, so far. The reasons: frequent updates, speed, stability, and of course, for all that Revolver Parts brings to the table.

This is 100% false. All four roms are usually updated about 2 to 3 days ( if not quicker) after asus sends out a new update.
Android Revoluition
It update s very fast and its very stable
I use Prime and Revolution. Both update quickly. I am more familiar with Prime. Its stable has shutdown and reboot options and has a lot of system settings that are nice. Never had a fc issues yet

You could use revolver yet still having boot animation of prime.
I am using the Revolver Rom
Stable, fast and very good Battery life
revolution is the first rom on my transformer. so far so good. stable and fast.
will try out others next update.
revolution,.. so far the most stable rom i used and its fast.
I like it
In my TF101G the best rom is Revolution.
I've tried Revolver for a week, but Revolution is more fast and stable.
Revolver has the bonus of the Parts that allow wide choises in customization, but the 3G component doesn't work completely: the SMS module is absent!!!
I've asked for help, but after a week I don't received any answer.
I think this is pretty serious problem and that the developer would have to do a clear mention about it in the first post, in addition to mentioning the best rom features in detail or writing how it's damn fast!
Hi!
I use Krakd Rom...
Fast, good battery life, no fc's...
Used Revolver for a week, but it had a dock battery draining problem, and it was laggy...
Revolver parts is, however, a nice touch...
Still have to try Prime and Revolution!
I like Revolver....on my TF very stable with the lastest Clemsyn kernel and Daemon OV..... plus revolver parts is an added bonus

I dig um all tbh! each one has its perks. currently on prime. just saw a brand new dev though going to check it out.
I like prime, so far it is the only one that re-directs work in the browsers and its stable.
I am running the latest revolver and am wondering what is the best kernel to use?
I am trying razzle dazzle kernel right now.
pandatest/razzeldazzel/blades all the same kernel just different names
I've tried every kernel available and the only one that is totally smooth is Roach's OC kernel. This is at 1ghz and on the stock Honeycomb launcher, every other kernel would be jittery and not transition smoothly most of the time. It works great on Krakd, Im on Revolver now and it still works just as great. Your Transformer may be different though.

Really? In my testing on razzledazzel it is quite buggy and keeps making my tab random reboot and it just got stuck in a bootloop.
However, i flashed blades and it seems to be working better.

I'm using the stock kernel with Revolver: it's the only kernel that works without random reboots on my B80.
In fact, I'm starting to believe that I won't be able to use any overclock kernel with that tablet.
Too bad, to me that defeats one of the important features of rooting a table and of using a custom rom.
I was better served with my acer iconia in that regard.
Razzle dazzle doesn't s upport ntfs. Why in the world would the dev of razzle dazzle not put ntfs support in this kernel?
i use pandatest 1.5ghz, never had a problem with it in the last month or so since it came out.
I've been using the pandatest 1.2ghz. I get the occasional sleep of death, but it is so rare that I can live with it. Has been extremely stable besides that issue.
Do any of you know if any of the kernels support advanced routing? Several of us are using VPNC widget, and will get occasional drops due to the lack of advanced routing in the kernel.
I would definitively stick with the stock Kernel (i did it and it was very nice and smooth) but if you really wanna OC your transformer here is the one that worked best for me: http://www.gnufabio.com/revolver/dls/Revolver_ClemsynKernel_v21.zip
But again, with revolver the transformer already work faster than Stock rom and wouldnt need so much OC (my opinion)
What is the best ROM? battery life+ functionality. Least bugs( alarm clock works) what's your favorite?

Hellfire Phoenix!! ;-) you'll love it Mann its excellent
Sent from LG p999
Current Device: LG G2x
ROM: Hellfire Phoenix v1.8
Kernel: Trinity T15 OC/UV 1.4Ghz/-150mV
Launcher: QQ Launcher Pro
Music Player: Poweramp pro
SMS: GoSMS Pro
Right on....how is battery
.....Clones & Drones.....
Personally i love Weapon G2x. its the most functional rom all around, stock based so EVERYTHING works how its supposed to. GPS, Alarm, Camera (ffc too), HDMI, Swype (if you use it) etc.etc. Ive never experienced any bugs ever, ran it stock (no OC kernal) etc the longest of any rom, snappy, customizable (check themes section). everything works, battery life is normal to better than normal (depending on device/usage). For me personally its the best ive used so far. ive tried almost every rom so far at least once. Absolute best thing to do
Is run them yourself and see what works best for you. as mentioned. devices all work differently as you can tell by reading through the forums.
They all have their own draws. For me i've found that the two above are my favorite. Phoenixblood because of the pulldown toggle bar which i can actually edit, the speed(which for me at least) is faster than any other rom i've tried, and theme chooser which comes with all CM7 roms; however i hate the camera on the cm7 builds like PB. As for weapon i like the LG camera w/stability built in, and the fact that i can edit which widgets appear in my power bar pulldown menu. All a matter of preference though, try em all out battery is pretty good for both, depending on the settings (setpcu, kernal type etc).
I got my g2x about a week ago, and I've been using Hellfire Phoenix for the past few days, first 1.8 then 1.9.
I originally downloaded several roms with the intention of trying them all, and liked HFP so much I never bothered with the others. It is almost flawless IMHO. My wife's got a g2x too, still on the stock rom. She originally rolled her eyes thinking I was going to ruin my new phone. After showing her what it could do, now she wants me to to flash hers too.
The biggest issue i've run into is one that's mentioned a lot already on the forums; the video camera is just slightly laggy. One other minor annoyance is that I can't get "compass mode" to work in Google Maps, though the compass and accelerometer work fine in street view and other apps. Compass mode was working in the stock LG GB rom. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that switching kernels helped some with gmaps issues like that. I'm debating trying that because everything else rocks.
ROM of choice
I'm pretty partial to Hellfire Phoenix v1.9. Have played around with straight CM7, which was good, Eagle's Blood, and CM9 alpha.
HP is very stable, quick, does what I need and want to do. The dev, x0xhellx0x, is very responsive to problems and suggestions.
My advice is to flash several different ROMs, running each for a day or two, then choose which you like best.
PartzMan2
T-Mobile G2x, overclocked to 1200 Mhz
ROM Hellfire Phoenix v1.9 (testing Hellfire Sandwich v1.0-beta)
Kernel Trinity Kernel T-15 (1560 Mhz)
Hellfire Sandwich is pretty Neat
Its a pretty nice one to use, even though its pretty new, but so far its one of my favorites.

I hate to say this, but Weapon was my ROM out of the box, until I came across Eagleblood and I can tell you that WITHOUT A DOUBT that Eaglesblood is WAY BETTER! I don't mean nicer to look at, or that stuff, I mean that the OS operation BETTER! Better responses to touches, better multi-touch, and so on.

Hi,
Just rooted JB stock, on TWRP.
I'm looking for a stable, reliable, fast, no-dramas, no frills rom. Something that works and works fast. I dont want 100 ways to change colors and fonts of the status bar or 5 lockscreens etc. Just want simplicity, stability, reliability and fluidity, that's it .
So you guys recommend any?
Many Thanks!
CleanROM 3.1. Do it, do it.

I used Blackbean by team BAKED for the longest time. I love that it's all-black (easy on the eyes!) and pretty fast, although I find how "fast" a ROM is to be a rather relative measure.
I'd recommend Blackbean, but if you don't like it just stick with CM10. Tried and true

Have to agree with the CyanogenMod recommendation. I used to install random custom ROM's on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus), but then decided to try CM 10.1 with my phone and TF300T (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055430). While the TF300T isn't quite fully developed in CM 10.1 (the developer has a lot on their hands, but they are responsive and helpful), it is quite functional. There were some speed issues, but they seem to have been addressed, or at least lessened. It has nightlies, which is great. Plus, CM has an automatic feature to inform you when updates (including nightlies) are available, which I appreciate.
Well if you're looking for something that's stock,stable, and easy to use...I suggest seanzscreams' Asus Jellybean Hydro 5.0. I'm currently running it on my tablet and it is by far the fastest and most stable ROM I've used yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854212
Now if you're looking for a bit more customization I would go for either CM 10.1 or Blackbean 7. Those two (I personally think) are the best and most customizable ROMs out there, but yet again that's just me.
CM 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055430
Blackbean 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015165
Edit: If you have the dock, I couldn't get it the charging working on either CM 10.1 or Blackbean 7. Also, on Blackbean 7 the dock keyboard works but the screen keyboard pops up with it....a bit annoying.
I've been running Hydro, definitely my favorite. Fast, overclocked, super-useful mods, all while maintaining the stock look, without the stock lag.
I'm on CROMI, but I get bored. Is Jelly Bean Hydro 6.0 better than CROMI 3.2.1 ??? I would install this, but I don't know can I get HYDRO 6.0 over CROMI ??? Of course I would wipe system & data / factory reset.

I have been running hydro since I got the tablet, great rom for all around use.
I've found that every custom ROM I've flashed has felt faster (and often more stable) so pretty much any of the main contenders (Blackbean, CleanRom, Paranoid Android, etc.)
But I can't find any of them that seem to have advanced support for tf300 dock - they seem so good for tablet alone but I need to do polaris office stuff and would like to see the status of the battery in the dock, and some don't seem to remove on-screen keyboard when dock is plugged in.
Please, someone disagree with me, i'd love to know if it's possible to get these three features in a custom ROM - until, stuck with fully featured ASUS Stock.
