Is it just me or are the xe based Roms slower?

Just wondering about others opinions

I am running InsertCoin version and it's faster than the stock rom I was running. Although, I am mainly comparing Launcher Pro in stock vs Launcher Pro in XE.

It's just u. Insertcoin is the fastest sense Rom I've used

Yeah but what version of insert coin are you using? Is 2.2.5sse the fastest?

XE is flying with faux's kernels.

Android Revolution HD is running slightly faster than before.

In my sig, I am running InsertCoin 2.5.4 (SSE). They have 2.5.5-1 SSE available now.

Running the revolution hd xe based rom. Its pretty dam fast, not sure about battery life with the faux kernel though. Though am still running in a new battery

ARHD 3.6.0 XE is faster than all the previous versions.. I love it!

+1.

The benchmark scores might be better, but Revolution HD used to be faster in every day usage... It lags on home screens now :\
I tried it on two different Sensations.
I'll try Pyramid3D now.

I've heard that the XE based ROMs have a problem with CPU1 being turned off for most of the time, causing the slow down in performance.
No one has confirmed this yet though, but my benchmarks are really crappy compared to pre-XE based ROMs.

I'm just using the stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262539 by EddyOS
Got bored of using custom roms with the faux kernel as it seems to annihilate the battery and I got bored of having to do battery pulls because the phone would suddenly just not work!
The above rom works fine, stable and fast enough

Cheers for the recommendation
Could be mods for pre-XE ROMs don't work as well but I'm sure that's not it. I've had no issues with mine tho, altho I do use Show's 'Bricked' kernel

You're welcome
I got an anker battery to help with the battery performance, but after flashing ARHD,InsertCoin and CoreDroid, my battery life became worse than the HTC Battery. It was fine prior to the introduction of all these different Kernels.
Now I'm back on stock, it's much better, so thanks again

I have an anker battery and am running ARHD 3.6 and it runs fast, lasts a bit longer than my stock ROM, and is much nicer than stock. I use TMO 4G in the US, and the speeds I get on this rom now are much higher than they ever were on stock.

What we mean is when comparing XE based custom ROMs with pre XE based custom ROMs.

My phone shut down all of a sudden in a call and wouldnt boot unless i removed the batter and retried. Also batter life seems a bit lower with XE ROM ( 3.1.1 vs 3.5.2)

No lie, it does feel slower, and for some reason more bloated. I wish dev's would drop it or make the regular one and the XE rom, then again it's a lot more work but still.

i personally don't benchmark so i'm not sure how xe roms are compared to pre-xe in that department, but from experimental use (give or take a few days on it) the InsertCoin XE rom (using the bricked kernel) was one of the smoothest sense roms i've used, but that's just me.

Does it work better with ICS?

For those who have tried the recently released ICS rom made for this phone. Is the phone faster with ICS? Does it live longer on a full charge?
My Sensation dies after using it for 9-10 hours after a full charge using the latest official rom.

20hours on GB 2.3.5 that is.

I didn't find much speed increase on virtually all sense ics roms, currently using closest to AOSP - virtuous. They are in fact all laggy to say the least but good enough to be a daily driver. However, battery life is definitely better. I also recommend juice defender app for improved battery.
Waiting for pure AOSP....

at the end of the day i'd say sense experience still > aosp experience

Wrong section here, this should be in q&a.
I have tried all the ICS builds available as many have and honestly, battery may be a bit better but thats it. They can be used as a daily I image but personally I am holding off. I am sure its kernel related and an early build combo that equals sub-par performance but you will definitely experience lag. The Devs have done a stand up job with it but just not enough available to them to really get it right. I dont know how long you have been around Android but it reminds me of running Sense on my G1, yes it works but...

Why the **** did this noob write this topic in the development forums? Hey OP where's the download link to whatever you're offering?

Yes, I agree a tad bit laggy, improved battery.... A little bit.
But the main improvements are with the UI and the new gapps. I find all the new interface tweaks are really useful, like multi user sign in directly from a pop up in the browser when you log in online, or being able to put a slick folder on the app launcher bar, or the new gmail app .....
So maybe not for a speed deamon... But go through the available tweaks.... Get the 2nd CPU online and try it, it works very nicely. Personally using ARHD and find it a very usable day to day ics ROM.

Why don't you grow up? If you're not going to write anything helpful just don't. There are other ways to make your point and not being immature kid about it.

i`m getting about 22 hours on a single charge, wi-fi, mobile data, auto-sync always on with a moderate-high usage. it`s much better since the best with a gb rom was about 12 hours

For ICS, do you guys use Radio version 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 or the latest 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16 ??

the first one and it's running great...

Day 1 report on ICS (Virtuous v1.3.0 ICS) - after 4 hrs, I'm only down to 92% on battery.
Previously I was running CM7.1/alpha10 (GB) and the battery-life was aweful (It was an alpha, I know, I accepted that). After 4 hrs on that ROM, tho, I would have been down to 75% typically.

Best rom for battery?

Hey, im new to the sensation 4g and i was wondering which is the best rom batterywise (preferably ICS) im currently running ExtremeSensation 1.01.

Hit the report button on the right side.

CoreDroid, there are reports of well over 48 hours on light/medium use

Sense-o-Maniac ROMs are working great for me. Or at least the gingerbread versions.

I am still hooked on ENERGY, it is stable, fast and the battery lasts the whole day and that is good because I am a Power User and with stock ROM I was down to 25-30% battery by 11:30 in the morning.
It is Gingerbread, but the Chef is working on ICS now

the ARHD 6.2.1 use 70ma in average in idle (measured with battery monitor)
We could compare the values in idle to start à comparison between roms

its difficult to say,
it depends on your usage of your phone
and its not only the rom, with other kernels and oc/uv deamons you are able to extend the battery life more
for my self, im using elegancia 2.3 and get about 55mA in idle
but thats with set-cpu-profiles and the SebationFM#1 kernel

yes of course you're right
my idea was to compare the "stock" custom rom
with the included radio/kernel
ARHD 6.2.1 XE is kernel sebFM#1 and radio 11.68..._11.21...

Which Rom are you running ?

I was wondering which Rom are you guys running ?
Which gives you guys the best battery life ?

Seconding VI 4.0.1
Running on a day and a half of battery life and only down to 30% w/ an Anker 1900.
I tried to get into ARHD
Really, I tried. But...
HTC Sense.. just ... ugh. I'm disgusted with it.

I've used ARHD before ICS and after, in my opinion, it's the most stable.
But I'm currently running OrDroid with Sense 4, I think Sense 4 is way better than 3.6.

I'm running Ordroid v.1.8.7 (sense 4) and I'm loving it ! using a power saving kernel too, called Anthrax!

Ya I'm running arhd

Android Revolution 6.5.5
I use the gears of war battery mod and nova launcher.
It's a great combination of speed and stability. Android Revolution has proven the most stable in my uses.

using ARHD 6.6.0 currently, have been using ARHD versions mostly since getting my sensation last June. have tried cyanogen mod 7.1 as well as a couple of others without sticking with them for long.
this virtous inquisition doesnt have the phone unlock issue on receiving a call anymore right? been thinking of going for a closest to vanilla ICS experience for a bit.

Another ARHD user here
For me its the most stable. I can get 2 days battery too !
i love the modded stock look so for me its a winner.

Haha, I consider myself a moderate user...
Wifi on always - overclocked to 1.6ghz (on demand) min freq 328ghz
I guess im just lucky lol
I dont use auto brigtness, I select my own and leave it... Auto brightness for me was the biggest battery drain, It did not adjust properly and screen was using over 65% of battery
Now its down to about 25% ish

Virtuous Inquisition >> I like it senseless. Battery life is decent on moderate use, yet to try a different kernel to see if I can squeeze more.
ARHD is solid. very stable and good battery life.
Ofcourse battery life depends on how you use. I have not been lucky with battery since me HD2 days, but adjusting the brightness helps as stater.

I am devoted to Mike's ARHD for the time being. I tried several.. but none of them could give me decent battery. Gonna try CM9 when it is officially released tho..

[Q] sensation battery

Hi I'm new to sensation dev and I have a quick question I'm use sense 4.0 Rom with faux123 kernel I was just askingif there is a battery mod or something to help save battery?
Oh yeah the Rom is ordroid 8.6.5 4.0.3
Sent from my Sensation 4G

I think there is but I'm not sure of link but wanted to ask are you still stock battery? It helps a lot if you upgrade to a longer lasting battery say like Anker. I use Anker and its made a huge difference in my battery life. Also after flashing rom, make sure battery is at 100% then plug into charger, go into recovery, wipe battery stats, then unplug. This helps a lot. Also make sure things like sync is turned off for things you don't need, stop non needed running applications in the background, turn off blinking notifications , turn off feedback vibration ect, make sure backlight is minimum brightness, doing these things with a better battery will really help you! You will be surprised how much more time you get with Anker battery. I wish you the best! Hope you get the better battery because is really made a difference !
ps I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 also

Yes there is. Look in my signature and chose the power-saving option from that page it leads to. It is extremely good and although it only ever uses one core I can't notice a different in speed, only an epicly increased battery life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
