My friend upgraded his OS to 4.0.3 and he's been reporting so bad battery life since the upgrade.
i was planning on rooting his phone and loading CM9. How is it handling?
Hi,
I also had a bad battery life with stock ICS. I didn't try CM9 a long time, but i guess it will be much better than stock. I doubled my battery life and my nexus feels more stable and faster.
..
CM9 v4.0.3 v1.1 with CM kernel seems to work great. Installed yesterday and pulled 20+ hours on a single charge before I decided to charge it before work. I am a moderate user, checking email, Facebook, browsing a bit online, and listening to Spotify when driving.
This version also seems to perform better with lack of lag on the app drawer. There are other ICS roms with more features at this point, but CM has always been a favorite for me. From what I understand on later versions there will be many of the same customization features as well.
..
Been using CM9 V1.0 for a week now and it just...works! Evenings of USB tethering in hotelrooms, lots of navigating with Google maps, lots of tinkering, etc. With deep idle enabled battery life is indeed good. (drops from 95 to 88% during a 7 hour sleep overnight) And it's stable too. Any reboots I've done were to flash further mods and backups...
Just use cm9, slap a kernel like matrix or glados on board. Boot up, install nstools. Enable deep idle and tweak as you like and you will have good battery life.
I use smartassv2 governed and sio scheduler

It's good, but you can tell its not finished yet... I was running it before, but the Music app is from Gingerbread and the screen was flickering every time I locked the screen. The battery life however, is a lot better than the stock

And it's working really good. Never got any problems with it. The v2 is coming soon ;-)
v2.1 is working really well. I still get screen flicker when opening up the browser - as if it is struggling to show a pure white screen and as mentioned above the music app is in development, along with other features.
As a daily driver it has been great and with respect to the battery life, when 'deep idle' is on, I don't notice much difference from CM7.

I'm starting to get annoyed by my phone's habit of restarting mid call. I am using cyanogenmod 7, nightly 225. I cannot download the latest nightly (download is glitched).
For stability, what would the members of xda reccomend?
(at the same time as posting this, I am researching the pros and cons of various roms too)
For stability and reliability, use Bionix Reloaded v1.2.1 or v1.3. It is based off if the official 2.3.3 release from LG, so uses their drivers and whatnot.
If you want more speed and customization, I recommend EaglesBlood v2.8. It is based off of one of the lastest CM7 sources. I am currently using this and it works the same if not better, than Bionix. Battery life is slight less however, so I use Faux's kernel.
I would use ICS ROMS, but they're not yet to the point that I like. But based on the speed and commitment of our devs, they will be there soon.

I agree with this..
I have been using EB and it is by far one of the best ROMs I've used. This only issue I had was the SoD while charging overnight. But since I changed the screen to not sleep while charging I haven't had the issue as of yet. (Settings/Application/Development--check Stay Awake) I have also heard that raising the idle (or sleep??) CPU speed also helps, but I never tried that ...
I'm using whitehawkx aokp. I havent had any issues running faux's kernel. Morfics drained my battery in 4 hours and phone froze.

I had been using CM7, but eventually grew unhappy with it. A number of programs, like Plants vs Zombies and T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail didn't work with it, and I found I needed to reboot the phone every once in a while to make data work, and occasionally the phone would not wake up after being charged and required a battery pull. So I switched to the OTA 2.3.3, which has, surprisingly, been very stable for me. Everything works, and the phone has not restarted (either by itself or be me) since I installed it. You could also try some of the ROMs based on the OTA, though I am not entirely sure which ones those are.

A nightly (by definition) is not meant to be stable. If it was, it would be called 'Stable', not 'Nightly'.
It's not supposed to work 100% with full features and functions. They're known to have bugs. Any developer doesn't have to publish their nightly, or a beta, or an alpha. But they do because it helps tremendously with bug tracking, trouble shooting, problem solving, etc.
So when someone complains of a nightly or a release candidate NOT working, I simply point and laugh loudly at them.
I'm sorry if that sounds rude or harsh, but when someone uses a nightly, they should understand what that means.

I understand you completely when people blatantly bash a nightly - but that was not my goal. All i wanted to find was a stable rom, because (as you said) the latest nighties aren't exactly reliable. Of-course it's not 10000% stable, which is why i made this thread, to find a more "everyday driver" of a rom.

Thank you for all the reccomendations, i will try out a few rom's to see what i like best

EagledBlood v.2.8
I'm testing it all stock with no overclock, etc. and so far it's been pretty decent.
I was using EagleBlood ICS last week, but I need a reliable camera for daily pics of my kids and stuff. So that was out within a couple hours. Otherwise ICS is a really nice fresh change of pace. I been running many varients of 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 from CM7 to nearly everything in between.
So far, EaglesBlood has been very reliable
I realized there hasn't been a topic on this for the Skyrocket. After experiencing the bugs on ICS roms I needed to find a rom that will get be as stable as a rock. I am currently using NexusMoD GB 4.3 and I find it to be very good. My battery life on it has been OK not that great. It seems to me that the ICS roms where running just fine for the most part for me, even battery life was decent, but I had weird bugs where I wouldn't receive SMS or Calls, and my texts would say they sent but they wouldn't even actually send. This would happen at random times even though it worked most of the time. Any favorite stable roms guys?
I found the mhx superlight GB release works great and has good battery life.
for me stability and battery mod on status bar were my requirements and mhx achieves both.

For my money, Sky ICS has been extremely good.
I've been using the same ROM you are using. I've found that battery life has been pretty consistent among all the ROMs, which is to say sadly, not very good. It works pretty well overall with just a few hiccups here and there. I have had numerous issues with various ICS ROMs. I tried 3 of them (including SkyICS) and they either didn't run well, or in one case it just plain didn't work at all. That's why I went back to a GB Rom. YMMV but if I were you I'd stick with your ROM until ICS gets a formal release and see what the community does with that.

I've had my beloved skyrocket for about 5 months now and have flashed/used about 12 ROMs. Pretty much across the board, battery is god awful. The latest Sky ICS by SeanZ seems to improve battery by roughly 20% on my specific handset. Overall battery is pretty shabby.
what do u use and with what kernel? and what is the best set up?
You can't have other people choosing for you! lol everyone will have their opinions and liking towards different roms. I personally go for CM9 + InstigatorX's kernels. Some people go for AOKP or Chimaira other AOSP based and use Instigator's kernels. From there you have to choose which version or which governer is to your liking, if you prefer a certain setting like performance ones or power saving ones etc...
As for CM9 and AOKP I am an avid CM9 user but have used AOKP before. AOKP has a lot of customization right out of the box, CM9 is going from the ground up so they add features slowly and is constantly update almost once a day. AOKP they release one update every say 10-15 days~ and occasional milestone which will have more features than fixes. I like seeing updates gradually come and look forward to them on a daily bases thats why I stuck with CM9 and I like it for its stability. I've had a few FC's on the older AOKP but those are probably gone now with the latest milestone but features and readily available tweaks, the unicorn has them all (AOKP). I would personally make a nandroid back up and test them out yourself to see if its to your liking. My preference may not be the same as yours so its each to their own. :good:
Thanks for the reply bro, just wondering what the peeps on here were using, I think I'm going to stick with cm9, I really dig it, but I was wondering what kernel should I add, its a big mess with a bunch of releases on that forum lol

More 'features' in 4.0. But it may bootloop you. If you're ok with dealing with that then 4.0. I myself am trying to decide and I don't want to deal with bootloops so I just, right this second, decided to go with 2.2.1

I would go with 4.0. I was having trouble with my phone looping when I put on UCLF6 modem, I switched to the newest kernel and everythings been smoother. I would also say don't be afraid to try things out. Usually you will know what you like and don't like after you test a few configurations.
Just backup and keep multiple versions of the kernel in your SD so you can switch just in case it fails to boot. I'm currently using 4.0 badass underclocked to 1.1ghz when idling/light use and use smartassv2 when I play games.

In my humble opinion, CM9 tends to be a touch more stable than AOKP. But remember AOKP at its essence is CM9 with extra features thrown on, so it's bound to have the potential for a few more bugs. But both are very stable and won't give you any more issues than any other ROM really. Basically it's a question if AOKP's features are something you feel you want. I recommend spending about a week with both and then deciding.

In my opinion, Clean ROM is the most stable ROM available. I have been running 2.1 for a while and just updated to 2.5 with out any problems or crashes. I highly recommend! Scrosler is the bomb!:good:
I've gotta throw a vote in for Jellywiz... It's not the greatest on battery life, but it's a great daily driver.
I also liked Synergy ROM as well.
CleanROM for touchwiz, AOKP for AOSP jellybean.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
My favorite so far for Jellybean has been Jellywiz, but it was a little buggy for my taste last time I ran it. The hot reboots were killing me.
Daily driver right now is CleanROM 2.1 with Clean Kernel 1.2, Dirty Tweaks 2.3 and Kinda Crap Mods. Best setup I've had over the past month, and really gives me the functionality and feel I like. I've flashed other stuff and keep restoring CleanROM.
But, you gotta try them out for yourself.
I gotta jump in here and spread some aosp love!! Paranoid 2.13 and Codename Android 3.6 are fantastic daily drivers. Ive been using CNA since Sunday. Super smooth, lots of customization, theme chooser, new SMS/MMS pop up,, etc...
When paired with lean kernel battery life is definitely do able!
You should at least give them a try!!

currently using cm10 and have the same mod for changing songs via the volume rocker.
Overall i like the AOSP based roms best. The just tend to have a number of things not work or work well (GPS, audio issues, strength of signal, etc...). The TW ROMS are best with the stable releases, unless you like testing with daily.
I have most success doing complete wipes and a regular flash to stock when i hit weird issues.
CleanROMS are really fantastic, Beans is VERY innovative (just unstable on my phone), CM10 is great but will really come into its own when the issues are fixed.
Keep in mind that what is stable on one phone may not be on the next.

I am still pretty new to this however, a little background. I just switched over from drinking the Iphone cool-aid. Ever so thankful that I did! Im running AOKP Build2. I love it however the battery life eats it big time. I see everyone talking about Clean Rom and I think that is about what I want. Am I understanding correctly that Clean Rom is pretty much bare bones? All I care about is "Butter" and battery life! Thanks in advance from a noober!
My favorites due to reliability and use as a daily driver. Haven't had any issues with these gems:
Synergy - whatever the latest ICS touchwiz version is. (Using Imo's LeanKernel)
Code Name Android - whatever the latest version is. (Using KT747 Kernel)
+1 to CodenameAndroid. The sh*t is BEAST! I've always kept restoring back to Synergy because I never was truly satisfied with any other Rom. With CNA I've never even thought once about going back.

ive only given AOKP and paranoid android much use lately.
id venture to say that for everday general use any ROM posted here is stable enough.
they all have their quirks, but to call, text, browse, game and send emails all ROMs will do those tasks effeciently enough.
ive always (always) done clean installs though.
To be honest the stock rooted image is also plenty fast and of course stable. This is already a pretty fast phone.

I've been running CM10 since M1 and it's been 100% stable. I've had no issues with call volume or data drops or anything of the sort. I'm on M2 with Nova launcher now and it's even better.
The 10/14 nightly was iffy for me though. My phone wouldn't boot. There were a lot of kernel upgrades so it could be because I'm also using leankernel.
Battery lasts a good 12 hours with about 2.5 hours of screen time with moderate use. Web browsing, E-mail, texting, etc. With mostly Wi-Fi.
Bean's has been great. I haven't had GPS until using this ROM. Great battery life, smooth, cool features. I am really impressed with this.
