Best rom and kernel for battery life?

which rom and kernel and you using and what type of battery life are you getting? im using faux 0.03 kernel on interactive setting and the senseless rom 1.3 and with heavy use im getting about 5 hrs, how about everyone else?

I tried InsertCoin and Revolution HD and the battery life was awful. Everyone said I needed to calibrate my battery, let it charge and die a few times but none of that worked. I went back to stock and I got over a day and a half

Same here! My battery life is so much better on stock. I also kept having data outages when I was using custom roms. I wasn't getting important calls and text messages. I went back to stock rom and everything is great again.

Exactly my reason for avoiding ROMs. Its too bad people here get so pissy when you wont try their fav. ROM.
I am holding out for CM7. They have a GREAT reputation!
BTW-For all those that are using a min clock speed of 300+Mhz, I notice that my STOCK cpu min is 192Mhz. Try dropping your min speed down some, as that seems to be what the stock ROM uses...

Alright, I guess some things need to be SPELLED out for some here...
I meant to say, CUSTOM ROMS, as in, ROMS built by everyone and their grandma here.
Seems everyone has their own ROM these days...And I read a LOT of complaints about them. Please, dont go to bat for the ROMs. Everyone gets to have an opinion, let me have mine this time and back off. We have valid complaints.
Why is it that anytime someone here mentions anything slightly less than great about a ROM, someone with jungle fever has to step in and twist their nuts?

Wow! Dude cm7 IS a custom rom! Again smh

What he's saying is he's waiting for a custom ROM with no Sense and good reputation (i.e. CM7) to come along, then he'll flash that. He doesn't want to flash any custom ROM because he's heard bad things about some, which may or may not be true. You got a problem with that?
Personally, my favourite custom ROMs for the Sensation are InsertCoin 2.2 and Android Revolution HD. I'm not gonna flash any more ROMs until I can completely refresh my Sensation and put a clean, small ROM on it, without Sense. That ROM is CM7

"They certainly have a reputation that they are trying to overcome that I have seen first-hand myself.
Thankfully, AndroidForums suffers from no such bad-rep, and we are all striving here to make sure that continues."
Looks like XDA has alot of work to do. Alot of people like you here. Who cares why I am still here? I am...Why do you care so much? I find it interesting that there are a handful of turds, including you, that go around making trouble for people. Are you THAT unhappy with life that you need to make others unhappy?
I believe most people here would agree that my point was made, correctly. Whats your age? I feel like I am arguing with a teenager that has yet to make it to Algebra 2. (No offense to those that HAVENT had Algebra 2...)
If you have zilch to say about what "WE" are all talking about, then why not go flash a ROM? Or better yet, have some lemonaide! :-D

After saying that my battery life on those ROMs was "awful" I feel the need to follow up. I posted a bit about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16852910#post16852910 but the short story is I'm now on Revolution HD 3.0.0 and after some research I found that the Facebook apps are doing something with the Calendar which was draining the battery. I'm only a few hours in, but so far so good with no account being added to either Facebook app.

Dev Request (ACTUALLY READ THIS TIME!)

Hey guys I know you guys are the best devs anywhere.
With that I would like to propose unto you guys a challenge. If any of you have ever gone from the stock HTC ROM to MIUI you probably noticed how the MIUI clock APP absolutely blows.
Now, I would like it very much if one of you developers could take the below attached HTC clock APP and make it so that it is either:
A) Installable as a standalone APP
OR
B) Able to replace the current MIUI clock APP
I would be appreciative beyond words if someone could do this. I myself have no developing background and could not even conceive doing something like this. Plus, I guarantee I would not be the only person gracious for this adaptation. I also do not know if this is possible or not.
Please and Thank You
PS.
I KNOW ABOUT THE WIDGET!!! THIS WAS POSTED ABOUT THE APP!!!
You know replace this

with this
EDIT: Or maybe just please suggest to me a close replacement? What I would really like in the app is the alarms/stopwatch/timer all in one nice looking app, not something that costs a fortune either would be preffered

OK I closed the last one and you make another? That is HTC closck that will only work on HTC roms.
Also no development for MIUI is done here.

Ze, you know to do brother, we're done here.

I saw that you closed the thread but I had thought that you did not understand the nature of my request. When I read it, it sounded as if you were speaking of the widget which, as I have read the forums, has popped up numerous times.
And yes, I get that the widget can not be replicated and I don't care, I actually like apps like beautiful widgets and HD widgets better than the HTC widget.
It's just that as I was reading through the forums for the Inspire here I found a post in which a developer here turned the HTC keyboard into a downloadable app for MIUI and I figured maybe somebody could do the same for this clock app which I like sooooo much more than MIUI's very basic, very stock android like app.
I really liked the added perks of the HTC app but I like MIUI a million times better than the sense ROM, although there are parts of the sense ROM I would very much enjoy having on MIUI (ie power saver, recent apps in notification bar, clock app, facebook syncing, etc.)
Thank you for trying to tell me the first time and I guess my bullheadedness steered me astray. Sorry if you felt mad that I created another thread after you locked the previous one, but as I said I didn't feel you got the point.
One thing I would like to ponder as a group though.
If these apps are cooked into the framework files, would you not be able to just isolate the files within the framework being used for say the clock app or whatever and put them inside whatever framework of whatever custom ROM you wanted?

Dude, It's cooking into the framework. It's not freaking possible. Done. End of story, Bring it on home Porky Pig, that's all folks, Zel, shut it down. Good riddance.

So what your saying is that I can't grab the framework files that the app needs, put them into the framework of my current ROM, and then have the app work?
Because to me that sounds logically sound

Ok the framework files are built on the HTC drivers. Reason HTC framework will not work on other roms. Not to mention HTC holds strong copyrights to sense. On every port attempt they have issued C&D orders and had it removed. MIUI may have gotten away with it on the CM code due to CM not really caring but HTC will never allow it. HTC uses a custom framework file called com.htc.resources which links right into the drivers and other HTC only files. So simple answer is no. You would have to rewrite the whole OS to make it work not to mention building the drivers from scratch. People wanting Sense on other phones and OSs is nothing new. IT has been brought up for years and the same is now as it was 4 years ago when sense came out. If you want any sense apps you have to run a Sense rom.

Edit: Zel beat me to it.

Where your logic fails is that each rom only uses a max of 2 framework apks, and a few framework jar files. Which I think is where you are getting confused. You have a framework-res.apk and a framework.jar file. As well as a com.HTC.framework.apk and a HTC framework jar file. All of those would need to be ripped apart and reprogrammed to use different drivers and hardware files. Oh and I forgot. The tools needed to decode HTC coding are not available to the public.

Nonetheless I found that very informative and it was something I didn't know. But i'm just trolling the thread

Not to mention the fact that HTC really doesn't like the Dev community. Hence why the Vivid still hasn't achieved permanent root via software exploit like the Inspire, or able to be unlocked and rooted via htcdev.com

Not even close to true. XDA was built off of HTC devices. While yes they are having issues with bootloaders due to carriers. Which don't want the bootloaders unlocked. If HTC ships an unlocked bootloader ATT or T-Mobile or whoever asks for it to be locked. Surprise surprise carriers don't think the average person should have an unlocked bootloader. And to be honest they may be right. What is done here is not for everyone. You can see this by the lazy posts about wanting to skip steps like a full wipe on new rom flash, or they brick their device. Then they want to return it to warrenty, but now they can't due to Modding the device in anyway breaks the warrenty. So returning a phone after you brick it Modding it is fraud.

Yeah, your right. I should've changed my post to reflect that. Come to think of it, its the manufacturers that welcome the dev community, it is the carriers that don't like it.

Ok now that I understand due to the framework differences, is there any apps similar to the HTC one (has alarms/timer/stopwatch all in one app) available that you guys could suggest me?
One thing I don't understand though is that like you said, sense was released 4ish years ago. Within that 4 year timeframe you would have thought that somebody would have cracked HTC's coding by now.
One thing I still don't get though is how was this user able to turn the HTC keyboard into an installable app for anyone who wanted it?

The keyboard is a stand alone apk it is not hard to reproduce. It has no parts in the framework files. People have tried to hack their coding. But when they switched to android they rebuilt all the coding. That is followed by a cease and desist order by HTC if you get to close. Rememeber the one set of Widgets HTC had pulled and just recently the HTC sense 3 style lockscreen. Both pulled by HTC

No I don't remember, what set of widgets?

Oh god I don't remember the exact name any more lol it was like beautiful widget but was more like sense. HTC had it pulled due to copyright infringement

Factory Widgets?

No I will track down the name when I have time. Still have an older apk somewhere I think. But thebpoint is HTC are very struck about the copyrights to sense. Any poet that has even come close has been pulled due to a C&D order which XDA will follow. So if they ask us to we will remove it.

IF This isn't enough to hold us off 'till unlock I don't know what is!

Slowly but surely we r getting some serious upgrades without s-off or bootloader unlocked. Custom Roms are out now that dont use recovery. I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my Overclocked 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! Devs just started doing it like this...
It's only going to get better! Everyone wanting to return their phones because we aren't unlocked yet should think twice! What more do you want in the 3rd week after launch? Most of these new tweaks and roms have come out today. Wait till the end of the week and see how much better this is gonna be..

Sounds promising!

The devs are certainly doing a great job considering the state of the bootloader.
I'd like to see a CPU spy report of the OC module to see if it's utilizing other clock speeds effectively.

What about a Passmark Performance test? Those seem to be very thorough in their tests.
On my stock HOX I was getting somewhere around 2200-2300.

So, you get this beasty phone that beats all benchmarks, yet you can't do much on it, because everything is being FC...how ironic is that?

I personally havent had any negative effect of the multitasking issues if that is what you are referring to. If you are saying apps are FCing as in having errors, havent had any problems with that either. So what are you talking about? So far i can do everything i want to do, everything i was doing on my sensation which was OC'd to 1.7. it felt like a 5 year old device compared to this one. If it isnt working for you, return it. Its doing fine for me. Best phone i've ever used. The multitasking issue will get fixed. The International version is already significantly better with their first update. I stream music daily in my car and have never had the service stop. i also use minfree and v6superscript which both help the mt woes.

Overclocking this thing is pointless. Aside from boosting meaningless benchmarks there is no reason to do it, the S4 screams as is.

I tried messing around with Minfreemanager, but it ended up making my phone lock-up on a fairly regular basis, presumably because it couldn't get the free RAM it needed. Am I the only one having that problem? Are you on 1.82?

Welcome to XDA! I did have issues before running minfree. I could start a text message, exit with the home button, re-enter the app, and it would start over. Running minfree has resolved this issue. I'm not a big gamer on mobile, but I did test the before and after with Angry Birds Space. Before, it would completely refresh when exiting the app and re-entering, but now I can open several apps before it completely refreshes. It's not perfect, but has made it very tolerable. Also, I have either disabled or removed any of the AT&T or HTC bloat.

Glad to hear it, tahnks for the response
I know this isn't the place for this question, but : I know changing bootloaders (if it were unlocked) means you won't get updates from AT&T, but does rooting have the same side effect? Or can you still receive OTA updates from AT&T after rooting?

That I'm not sure about, but you can run the 1.82 RUU again which will remove root and the tampered flag in the bootloader.

With being overclocked to 1.8, how is your battery life?

Removed Sense 4 Clock.apk And Replaced It For No Glitches Anymore
Enjoy

How's everyone like the new Rom? I don't suggest it at the moment.. Its just a preview and this is just the most stable one out of them all.. Trust me O_O Basically only 1 thing is changed from JustWorksTechnology is the sense 4 clock but I already have many other stuff working on it.. This is just a "preview" for now.. Now I go to bed lol.. Enjoy Oh and yes it 2.1 sense.. Good night!! lol
Whats to be expected in preview 2:
Mytouch 4G Slider Widgets
More Sense Widgets

Sorry for quad posting but an update will be released soon with new widgets.. This isn't really taking the Rom out of preview, it's just giving it a small update. Also there will be more Sense skins.. By far this is one of the best Sense Roms with signal..

Can I port this amazing Rom to the EVO LTE?
And what do you mean by this is the best sense 2.1 Rom with signal? NewSENSE, mikG, S.S. don't have signal anymore?

No see I try a lot of Sense Roms and they always go into roaming so I just tried this one and it has to be the best with staying out of roaming. It will go into it here and there at points but it has to be ONE of the best with that.. Im not saying it is the best.. Thanks and yes you can port it..

I think that signal is more dependent of physical attributes rather than software or ROM. I appreciate your work man. I see your actively contributing the community, and I don't post much but thanks for your work. I usually get ignored after my posts, but I would like to say that in the ROMs Drob mentioned, there is an option in the tweaks to set the phone to Sprint only under roaming. It prevents the phone from going into roam. There's also the option for Roam only. Just thought I would share that since you are having roaming issues. Also latest PRL updates help. Can't wait to try this ROM out when you get a final release. Looking for a new daily ROM.

Thanks for liking my Rom, I've noticed that stock android, when you roam you can still make calls but, on sense you can't and could you send me that method? Thanks!! Also my PRL has been updated, I have no upgrades on towers in my area for next 6 months sadly.. Where I used to live, they have 32 upgrades or something like that. Kinda made me mad but o well I enjoy my evo shift Thanks again!

No see I try a lot of Sense Roms and they always go into roaming so I just tried this one and it has to be the best with staying out of roaming. It will go into it here and there at points but it has to be ONE of the best with that.. Im not saying it is the best.. Thanks and yes you can port it..

It doesn't roam because HTC and sprint don't want you to know you are roaming. Adding the1x icon is mod we add to let us know our real signal strength...

I searched it on google and couldn't find it, is it something inside the Rom that could messed around with?

It just uses a 1x icon that switches when you drop out of 3G to edge data network like cm7/cm9 roms have. I thought data had nothing to do with cellular reception but IDK. Kind of like how you can activate a phone with no data plan?

You did to edit a file in the systemui.apk to show the 1x/3g indicator. You then decompile the classes.dex file and search for something called htccdmastatusbar.smali file. You change a line or two from 3g_cdma to 1x, then recompile and pack it back up and push the apk back to the phone...I guess you could also insert it into a new rom then flash.

I don't know anymore, my head is being poked with a stick by android.. I'm tired of listening to android.. (not freaking on anyone) I've got to take a break for quiet a while because I haven't been hanging with my family a lot lately and that's pathetic and stupid of me.. I'll check in every 2 hours or so but I got to "chill" with this android stuff. I don't wont to loose my loved ones Btw this is based off of JustWorksTechnology's Rom read first lines of my OP.. Thanks and preview2 will be uploaded probably tomorrow It does have a mytouch widget and some more themes

You don't know what kernels are in your sense roms? I understand completely about taking a break, but please take into account that kernels are GPL and must remain open source with a public link on the threads if your using a custom kernel. If your using a stock kernel like cm7 or whatever it may be you don't have to provide anything because they have their own github repo's. Thanks for your work for android and I must also take a break for awhile.

Well I guess I need help with "kernels" because I know everything really but not kernels and some other things...
Edit: It's stock

There are plenty of good kernels you can try if the devs let you add them to your roms. Strapped and x99percent are two that I know of that have their kernel sources in order and public.

Thanks lol uploading preview 2 right now but I don't think anyone cares for a dev like me O well.. For those that do appreciate me I'll just dev for them :| I've seen sense Roms open and get more comments and support then rather me and probably more other devs. I have a friend that has the same issue but I'll just upload and dev later..

[Q] Why flash custom ROM on SK4G?

First, I am very new at rooting and customizing Android and appreciate any help understanding. Please don't take my questions wrong, the screenshots on these ROMS look amazing and I know more than a few tons of hours went into developing and testing, it really is that I am not comprehending the differences I'm finding.
Thanks to the help of the great tutorials here, my SK4G is now successfully rooted! I've been looking at ROMS now for a very long time and found I am really leaning towards Glorious Overdose v5 or neXus JB.
What I'm wondering though, is why would I go through the trouble and risk of flashing if it is essentially still running froyo? Since it's rooted, could I simply uninstall the junkware and use Holo or ADW for a similar effect and virtually no risk? Of course I do see the difference in the kernal version, but as I said I am new to this and it's just my guess that kernal is even a big difference maker.
I am very obviously missing something here, and though I am searching I'm not quite finding what it is I'm not understanding. Otherwise as the video stated when I signed up... I'm a noob...

I didn't read
Flashing a rom gives you more space / faster an more reliable
Glorious overdoes v5 is a bit buggy here an there an over all is the largest "rom" due to the aroma
I use nexus jb is slim fast reliable its really good the creator ric has made many roms each better then the last (theming wise) demkantor is really great dev only a few people here anymore an these two still make this phone amazing

Thanks for pointing out Overdose is buggy, I have that and nexus JB downloaded so perhaps I'll go with JB. Admittedly I'm a bit nervous to take that next step and flash. If I brick I have no backup phone, but it looks like the instructions here on this website are pretty clear and easy to follow. Plus, I'm a risk taker lol!

There are many reasons to flash a custom ROM, in addition to what Immortality said: you can flash one that looks and feels more like GingerBread, IceCreamSandwich, JellyBean, etc. You can pick one that isn't so bloated (although once you're rooted, you can pretty easily remove the bloat). I've tried a few, and here are my notes:
GOV33+LEAN-PERFORMANCE-RELEASE - Started out good, but over time SU stopped working, battery life degraded. Liked LauncherPro. Maybe it just needs to be reinstalled
neXus_JB_v1.2 - Colors hard to read (white on gray). Seems like too many unnecessary apps (live wallpapers, etc).
MeMoRy - Based on GOV3.3 Lean. Uses Lightning Launcher, which I didn't like at first, but it's very simple and presumably lightweight. However, the supplied Jelly Bean keyboard keeps crashing. I installed the ICS keyboard and removed the JB keyboard, and this is now the ROM I use.
Windxixi just posted about a new ROM that he says is based on GB and works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42562471#post42562471. Might be worth following.

Thanks for your insight, very much appreciate it. I did see that GB post, looks really interesting. Once someone determines if it's actually upside down as in his pic or not I may just go with that one. Unless it really is upside down, that would seriously drive me nuts!

Sweet, definitely keeping my eyes open on that thread because I know for certain I cannot fix it! I haven't even had the guts to flash a new ROM yet or even delete bloatware, only froze it so far...

i like both gov2 and nexus jb.
both of them smooth like a charm

I can say that the ROM is not upside down:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I still wouldn't use it if this is your only phone. Keyboard does not work so you are stranded with a virtual keyboard. Battery life does not seem to be all that great. No buttons work on the actual phone except the power button, trackpad button, and the volume down button. The gyroscope does not work and I have not even set up my SIM on this so I don't know how it works with actual use.

It is my only phone and doesn't look like I'll get to buy a new one any time soon. Thanks for the advice!
