Hi folks,
Somewhere along the line, with all the rom updates that have gone on, I seem to have hit a sour point.
It's as if all of the Sense 3.5 roms i've tried have a laggy app drawer. Like the scrolling feels off and unresponsive.
I've found them to have better battery life though, which is why i've felt the need to update.
I did have a Sense 3.0 rom and kernel combo months ago that was great for both, but I cannot recall which one it was amongst all the updates.
I've just changed from Pyramid 3D 8.30 + bricked 1.6 b6 kernel. Perfectly fast, stable. But the phone drained like 17% overnight in idle which is far too hungry. (Had data and wifi disabled)
That use to be more like 1 or 2% in comparison, i'm not sure if it was the rom or kernel but it's perfectly fast.
I've just gone onto the Energy rom, great rom but it has that awful app drawer lag that drives me nuts. No idea how people aren't bothered by it.
Seems the Sense 3.0 roms are much cleaner and swifter but there don't seem to be any of those around now.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I'm already using the Anker battery.
im on the same page as you but as you have stated sense roms are not perfect and need some work still, im hoping that ics will fix this but time will only tell..
For now i suggest looking at arhd 4.1.9 which imo is the fastest and most stable sense rom but you should also look into trips aosp rom just for a look, this rom shows the potential of the phone as it is super quick and responsive it actually made my gaw drop with amazemnt.
What's the camera like on those AOSP ones tho?
Like i said you should have a look at the aosp just to see what its like but as for its stability it does have a few problems, crashes here and there and the camera should work but for me it doesn't.

Actually Piramid 3D 8.30 is based on HTC official 3.0 Sense and official 1.73.401.2 XE ROM - Android 2.3.4, did you wiped battery stats after charging continously from less than 5% to 100% in 8-12 hours time? If you did this, only idea I have is to change kernel to Bricked-v1.5-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984 and installing cam-fix.zip straight after to have working camera. I'm using this one now with SENSEaY 2.1.0, installed Virtuous O/C flashable.zip and Virtuous Controller.apk by myself to get rid of SetCPU, everything runs smoothly. For me battery lasts for 30-40 hours of moderate use (3G + xda app, some calls, texts, internet). With screen off it seems to drain 1% every hour.

Do you know any stable ICS AOSP ROMs for the Sensation?
Have not seen a stable ICS AOSP rom yet, most ICS roms are like a beta so expect issues for a while.
Answering the original poster, RevertedASOP is a gingerbread 2.3.7 aosp build; it is my daily driver and has zero lag for me, even when underclocked on Faux's kernel. No sense components of course, but if it is speed you are after then try it out.

I'm torn between all these choices. Please tell me what you're using and why.
Make sure to mention battery life, performance, and useful features please.
Also, how does the rom mount the sd internal and external sd? Stock - as in there's a folder called _ExternalSD, or like how CM7 does it, using External as primary and having the emmc folder as secondary?
Trigger 2x...because I can make my clock blue to match my Steel Blue CM7 theme, lol. No, seriously...that's why.
Plain CM7 rom. The ability to have a relatively stock look, hide the clock and change the battery indicator to a percentage rather than just an icon.
I used to use Bionix2, but it still suffered instability issues (random reboots) etc.
Only complaint between both roms is that the pictures in my contact screen have a small little white bar underneath with thre little suqare dots which kind of irritates me.
I dislike the market that comes with CM7, but it seems that's the new stock look. (Which blows.)
I prioritize customization and battery life, and this rom gives me both.
CM7 -- Most stable and stock looking. I also like the fact that everything is customizable and nothing looks "cheap". Also battery life is important to me. If a rom drains my battery it's pretty much nixed.
I use CM7 because it just works great.
However I've been liking MIUI. I have Nandroids of both that I flip back and forth, and update where possible. So I have 2 current builds of Miui and CM7 that I run.
MIUI isn't quite where it needs to be for a final daily driver but with that I had, I made it work. The downfall was APN Cell data was hit or miss requiring resets, it would get blazing hot, the battery drain was horrible. I did 3 full charges through the day just to get by (morning wake up, around 2pm, around 7pm, then bed). I was hammering it though but shouldn't drain that bad. I did install a MIUI Digital Clock Widget which I'm thinking is causing the extra battery drain. Next time I boot into it I'll remove it and see where it gets me.
MIUI is ascetically pleasing to the eye. It is very pretty and fun to use. I love the dialer and the big icons and the Settings menu colors.
MIUI is based off CM7 so eventually it will be ironed out where it is just as stable but until then it is just my play OS.
I have just found out that I can replace Launcher Pro with Go Launcher or ADW EX finally because I found a LP Widget replacement called "Colorized Widgets". They work and feel just like the LP versions but work on GO and ADW.
So now I'm running CM7 with the Captivated theme, GO Launcher with a "Blue Theme" that has iPhone/MIUI icons and a glass look, and Colorized Widgets with the "Transparent" theme.
MIUI, I'm running Stock Launcher, Colorized Widgets, iTap Keyboard (iPhone themed Gingerbread keyboard).
Nice Setup.
So everyone using CM7 are you using RC1 or nightlies? Is there even a big difference? Would it be worth it to do the nightlies?

Really?
You sure about that?
I always thought that MIUI was custom done by some Chinese developers?
Flashing each stock CM7 nightly has been incredibly stable for me and the battery usage for the past couple of weeks has been amazing. Then again, I'm not overly hard on my phone by using the screen a lot like some folks do, I'm more prone to using my Transformer for gaming and general web browsing than I am my phone. I've never had any major bugs on CM7, but most of the general bugs that people complain about being on the phone are also completely foreign to me. I've also never used a fully stock G2x rom, my phone was shipped to me by another XDA user with a custom rom based on the GB release that I replaced with CM7 within a day or two, so my experience with with stock issues is absolutely non-existent.
I use CM7 because it was far less buggy than every other rom I tried in the dev section, and I used an iPhone against my will for almost a month, so MIUI is hideous to me by now aside from the bugs it still has. My first Android device was a first week release G1 and I still love stock Android. I've never been a fan of most of the UI overlays that vendors make (althogh the newer Sense is nice and some of the Touchwiz for 3.0 features are tempting) and I prefer to be allowed the choice of what I want my phone to look like. CM7 is the most stock rom I've seen that's also very stable. Also, I enjoy reading the CM changelogs. I'm trying to relearn how to code again and the diffs that the CM changelogs give are very enlightening and enjoyable to read.
I usually keep my phone underclocked a bit to 800Mhz max and screen off is underclocked quite a bit more. When I'm at home I leave data off and WiFi on (goes to sleep when the screen is off) and the battery can last for almost 3 days that way without hardly moving at all. When on data I get 8-20 hours or more depending on how much I'm traveling (switching towers drains battery) and how much I have the screen on. On full blast the shortest I've had the battery run was 4-6 hours of playing a game like Zenonia 3 without stopping. Using WiFi tethering the battery usually lasts 4-8 hours depending on how much I tax the phone's modem. Even underclocked the phone performs exceptionally well and I've never had any slowdowns during games or programs. I haven't had to reboot my phone, pull the battery, any random reboots or shutdowns, no APN issues, anything. Then again, I do reboot my phone every time a nightly is released which can be several days in a row or a lull for a few days at a time. I haven't had much luck running custom kernels but I haven't tried much other than faux's UV kernel so that's not much to go on. The stock CM7 kernel is just too stable for me for me to feel like changing it much.
I can only say that now that an official 2.3 release is out for this phone that roms will only get more interesting and hopefully more stable than they already are.. It already seems that there is a glut of developer interest in this device. Just one look in the development subforum shows the better part of a dozen choices in roms and much more activity than many places I've visited on XDA for a while.
I used CM7 if I had a second G2X to put other roms on.

Yes, it's 100% based off cm7 source. (If you don't believe me, go to their forums, and look. Right now they are caught up to about nightly 85 I believe.)

Wow, that was very detailed! Thanks. Quick question, what are some main advantages of the nightlies vs RC1?
EaglesBlood CM7 + Faux's OC/UV kernel + launcherpro
it's fast, it's stable, has the notification power widget, runs netflix.. nothing more i could ask for
except maybe the LG cam.. but either that or the notification widget.. i chose the widget
E: from the post above I underclocked it to 800mhz.. will see how much battery life i get so far no noticeable slowdown
Trigger 2x
It's been the most stable and feature full experience on my G2x. I've been using it since build 11, I just flashed build 14, and am loving it.
MIUI/cm7 practically the same, love all the features.

The nightlies are more up to date and actually more stable than the RC. I'm running 93 right now and it's been going smooth all night.
I'm still rockin froyo with Fauxs kernel on ultimate rom.
Those plus adw launcher equal silk. Lol
I would go with GB but im gonna wait a while till all this baseband and camera app get ported by the guru's. Still can't believe they dumbed down the functionality of the camera on an update lol

Xboarders 2.3.3 tweaked because I like everything to work... cough.a2dp.cough
And the guy updates like a madman
Runs like hot knife thru butter and battery life is about 17 hrs
I'm using InsertCoin 3.4.2 on my phone, but haven't settled on what kernel to use yet. I've tried bricked 1.5, good battery life and the phone ran fast with it, but it had a habit of freezing or sometimes crashing when exiting the camera. I've tried faux but it ran red hot and had abysmal battery life. So now I'm back on the stock kernel for the moment at a crappy 1.2ghz,have marginally worse battery life than bricked kernel, and this too is causing the phone to run warm.
What other kernel options do we have that are completely stable, along with good performance and battery life? Any suggestions?
Does the lack of replies mean there are no alternatives?
I'm currently trying bricked 1.6 beta2, and the phone runs warm, keyboard is laggy at times as well as some games, and it can still freeze when exiting the camera. So this one is no good either.

Why not try the stock 3.5 its pretty good on my phone, its rock solid and my phone is running nice and cool with great battery life.
Which version of faux's did you use?
Right now we are pretty much limited to faux, bricked, and stock. Well not really limited since 3 is pretty good already. they each have their pros and cons. im also currently waiting for a new release that will hopefully satisfy my needs

Is that the stock kernel linked on the InsertCoin thread? If so, that's the stock one I've already used. Works okay, but battery life wasn't quite as good as bricked, and no overclocking so I was stuck at 1.2ghz. Is there a sensation XE kernel knocking around anywhere? As that's 1.5ghz and still a stock bug free kernel.
As for what version of faux I tried, I can't remember now, but it was only within the last week or two as I've only even been rooted for a fortnight, and was the newest version AFAIK.
I've just tried bricked 1.6 beta1, and that froze almost instantly, so that's out too...
What ROM/Kernel setup are you guys using that you've found good stability with?
Any suggestions?
Skyrocketeer with flashed Rogers radio. It's very stable, had some slight issues with the sms timestamps but with the help of SMStimeFIX from market it was solved. Also still looking to confirm if i obtain full 50mb/s LTE speed but until i got back to that spot where i always get it, i wont be able to confirm. It's a nice looking rom, snappy, fast, good battery life, nice emprovements
Stock rom. I've tried a few, including sky ics. Good rom but I still found stock more stable. But it depends on the user. I don't like to search as to why apps keep fcing. I just like it when I use my phone that it runs smooth. The rogers stock is good. Isn't any bloaware to slow it down. However I did get rid of the odd app and widget installed
hey i tried some roms soo far. the roms/kernel id recommend is either use sky/tpc/rocketeer. kernel wise id stay away from all kernels i mean no offence given devs work hard on kernel, but unless you rogers folks wanted a heat around camera area for everyday i know i don't use stock rogers kernel its snappy @ 1.5ghz + no lags + my heavy day to day lasts me 1 and 1/2 day with full use of wifi,bt,browser and games. just remove all the bloatware and u'll see.
Stock Rom for me, although I have started to play with Go Launcher to spice things up a little bit. Waiting for ICS my self.
Stock here as well, tried a few roms, and aside from over or under clocking, which I love, there haven't been any roms or kernels as stable so far. If someone comes up with a great way to 'clock let's hear it!
Also, anyone have a comprehensive list of bloatware on the 727R yet? That's a post I'd love to see!

Runnin skyicecream sandwich jugglin between faux and romracer kernel cant get the romracer to deepsleep. Running faux at 1.5gz max with setcpu and its pretty stable no fc or sod. Smooth and fast.
rooted using sky ICS
tried cyanogen for a bit and liked it but sky ics just looks so nice. i get a few fcs but it doesnt bother me cause it reboots the program real fast
really good battery life on it, 15 hours at 70%
I've been on Android for over 3 years now..
Had so many different roms on my devices. This one I've used syrocketeer, was nice, smooth stable, not many issues.
Tried SkyIce Cream Sandwich rom. Was pissed off it was just a theme of ICS on 2.3.6 IMO name is very misleading, but whatever, to each his own. Was a good stable rom if you want a nice overlay of ICS, had a few issues with FC but the dev gives pretty good instructions on how to fix it.
Most of these I was running primarily until Cyanogen team came out with something stable enough to put on my phone. As I've always found CM to be the best thing you can run.
Newest build for me has been very stable - running Da_G kernel. No issues except for the call issue posted in their forums. I think that was supposed to be fixed in the latest update, however I haven't gotten around to updating. Turning GPS on seemed to work to fix the issue tho. I would never change to anything else (unless real ICS rom came out, then would only stay on that till CM9 came out with a stable enough release)
I have confirmed in most parts of Toronto where reception is decent enough I'm getting an average of 30+ mbps. Closer to downtown core upwards of 40mbps and in a few cases up to 58mbps. So LTE works great on that ROM as well.
i use Bouyancy 1.2.1 with 360 launcher doesn't change baseband smooth and snappy
SkyRocket ICS 2.9.2
faux kernal 2.6.35.14......

I was loving Darkyy on my SGS but even though I played with a couple ROMS and kernels on the SII LTE I went back to stock. Solid, fast, and good battery life.
I did freeze and uninstall most of what I could identify as bloatware and the horrid touchwiz slowpoke. I picked up ADW EX when it was on the 10 for 0.10 sale, and like it better (landscape mode and the ability to customize the dock easily is a big bonus).

Using the Stock rom. Haven't had one issue with it and since I'm coming from a Touch pro 2 running WM 6.1 this thing is fast enough as is......For now.
Stock myself, played around with a few ROMs but ended up liking the reliability of the stock. Eagerly awaiting ICS and CM 9.
I have flashed almost all of the ROMs on here and in my opinion the snappiest one was the Quikwiz 1.0.3 and skyrocketeer was pretty quick as well. Right now im running stock though because as almost everybody said it is the most stable build for Rogers rightnow. I am trying to get the stock-ish kernel by romracer on my phone right now. If anybody has flashed that i would like to know how the battery and speed were? Thanks
Stock Rom for me, i tried Da_G's Kernel but got alot of SOD's. There were a few fixes such as deleting modules etc but none of those ever fixed it. Sadly I'm getting poor battery life on my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE even with JuiceDefender Ultimate installed. Before JuiceDefender I was about to take the phone back, now it's just sub par battery life. As for now I'm done with messing around on flashing the phone , at least until we get our stock ICS ROM. It should be coming out soon, that's my hope.
I've flashed Sky and TPC. Both are fairly stable, but I'm not getting any where close to the battery life some of these AT&T guys are getting.
I'm a fairly heavy user—LTE on all day, but I have wifi on at work and home.
I personally don't feel that flashing a new ROM has done anything for my battery life, however it HAS improved my usability factor (both Sky and TPC have been able to grant me a sizeable performance increase).
Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether
yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs
Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend
try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.
CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?
kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly
im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.
Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable
I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.
Hi all,
have been using CM9 for months and its great with very good battery life, but I really miss the sense camera and wonder if the latest Sense Rom has better battery as some members has stated?
I am on Venom senseless now and wonder if it has a better battery than the full sense version?
Here's my battery life running cm10 with the Fusion Ultimate v2.0 OCUV kernel-- overclock to 1890 with Brazilianwax governor... it's pretty good maybe it depends on how u set up your phone or how u use it to get the best battery life.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Im on venom rom with full sense with stock htc kernal thats provided with the rom... I get a day out of the phone. I have it connected to wifi all day. Listen to music for about 5 hours(do alot of painting) and then browse then web for about 30minutes all together and maybe paly few games to pass the time. None of the kernals are completely bulletproof for me yet tried afew and kept getting wifi problems and not great on battery either..
Been meaning to try senseless but never got round to it yet will try this weekend.
I am quite a light user so I got around 2 full days using CM9 with wifi mostly on..
I'm struggling with this decision too. Sense has a smoother gallery, better camera app and the whole rom is perfectly fitting for 1s.
But Cm10 feels dann fast and it's much more lighter than anything else. Unfortunately heavy 3d games are laggier and the photos taken by CM don't look as good as the sense one's. Now I'm on sense, but I promise I will be on CM later today...or tomorrow... :banghead:
P.s: Battery life feels like almost the same to me.
ya its a hard choice. Sense has a lot of white background and its killing the battery a bit more.
I think right now sense is better. I'm getting whole day usage wih over 3 hours of screen time on fusion undervolted. Still fast because the clock is set to 1.5. No lag. I'm glad to be back on sense running viper

CM10 battery is pretty bad right now. I would not suggest. I've been rocking Venom Sense and have been getting amazing battery. I would go to CM10 to CM9 to MIUI and always back to Venom due to super stable battery and solid performance. Best part is Venom is so themeable, I you can make it look almost exactly like AOSP, minus the ****ty (sh!tty) white Sense menus.
