WellI've had x99's kernels recommended to me several times whenever I've jumped back to froyo.

Currenting went from Tiamat to ScarySUV, Tiamat seems high in performance but ScarySUV saves a little bit more battery.

Stock CM7 kernel max CPU at 1.5GHZ, min CPU 200mhz, runs great.

Right now I'm loving Scary's kernels. His links in his post are dead though .

Have you noticed a difference in battery life? It's probably in my mind but I swear my battery life has been better since I pushed up the max to 1.5ghz from stock.

I'm still on sparksco's kernel, but I also did noticing a couple more hours out of battery life ocerclocked to 1.5
I found that strange but nice. Phone tends to overheat though so I keep it at 1.2
Imo, sparksco's kernel is the besy by far with performance and battery life.

yeah ill usually get about 20hrs. Moderate usage. That's with 3g off and wifi on.
Best I got was 34 hrs before.
ScarySUV doesn't really help my battery life. But I never wiped battery stats when trying that kernel. I might do that and see what I can get.
When I'm on sparkscos kernel with 3g on all day, the worst ill get is about 10 hrs with heavy usage.
Evo SHIFT

I get the same with sparks, scarysuv gives me decent about with amazingly heavy use but battery stats never done so I'm currently stay at 35% for about an hour and a half now.

Battery life is WAY better. Now if I could only fix my GPS. But yeah forgetting to charge my phone every night or all day at work doesn't feel like as big of a deal right now.

[Q] Best HTC Sensation Custom ROM and battery life

Heyy,,as the topic says which is the best custom ROM for Sensation and which ROM has good battery life?

You will get flamed for your post. Every rom its unique to its dev. Threads like this create a barrier for devs where one dev will get more quentin than another cuz of a thread like this. I suggest you try out the roms personally and stick to one you yourself prefer

my thoughts exactly, plus, have in mind that the very reason for an open source OS, a rooted device, and rom development, is that different people need and want different things out of their device.
cheers.

It differs even with exactly same install for two different answer. There is no combo that would work the same.

Would it be useful to have a thread that posts comparisons for each rom so users can compare key features side-by-side and objectively decide which might suit them best, without having to download and flash every single one?
Things compared could be key distinguishing features, kernels supported, average reported free ram, benchmark scores (controversial I know).
Just a thought

I tried 2-3 roms but atleast i think insertcoin is the best.Very very fast and smooth but best of all the battery life is amazing.

Agreed and I just flashed coredroid 2.3. So far only on complaint battery went down when first flashed.. expected.. but the problem was I plugged in my phone and turn it off then battery would not charge. Too dead to turn on. I got past that and now battery is a lot better have used non stop for about 12 hours and down to 30 percent
Would normally have to charge after about 6 on stock. So no complaints. Also I'm partial to the blue skin

+1 for Coredroid 2.3, although I need to calibrate my battery, I flashed at 60%, when it died, I swapped batteries. So far 41 % left, just over 12 hours with 2+ hours screen on. I get over a day on stock ROM with medium to heavy use on my Anker battery.

It's not just the rom you run its the custom kernal that helps out. I run Virtuous Inquisition 4.01 and I use the Socali 1.2ghz underclocked kernal for better battery life. Even though I do a lot on it I can manage to get about 20 hours on it, lots more if I don't play videos or music.

i just tried almost every rom and i made this result:
battery life:
1. opensensation (latest update)
2. android revolution hd 6.6.3
3. OrDroid 2.2.0
[..]
performance
1. android revolution hd 6.6.3
2. hyper slite insertcoin 5.3.0
3. virtous s4v alpha3
this result are totally objective.. it is just my opinion.. i didnt test elegancia rom out because its not my favor

when i flash in a ROM i will probably take Revoulution 6.6.3 .. seems really stable..

I use ViperS 1.6.3 and BrickedKernel 3.0.36 and the performance is GREAT!!
But it drains battery .... omfg, more than stock
But it's a nice rom and with heavy usage you can use your phone for quite a day... so the balance between battery drain and performance is quite okay, so it is like I think

CyanogenMod Battery Life

Just wondering how all of you are finding battery life on CM7 (or possibly other AOSP based ROMs)
One of the main reasons I decided to ditch Sense 3.5 and use CM7 was the battery gain (as Sense is known to be a heavy resource hog)
The speed is amazing. Much faster than Sense, no doubt.
But I'll be honest. I'm not too impressed so far. Battery seems to be more or less the same for me on CM7 as on Sense ROMs. I thought many people said it was better?!
What about everyone else? Is battery life for you good or bad on CM7?
Cheers!

In the end it really depends on how you use the device. Most do see better battery, but to be honest I see the same battery life on a sense based rom that I removed most of sense from that I saw on CM based roms

Thanks for the reply mate!
Yeah, I'm talking about using the phone both In the same way I do on a daily basis.
On either ROM, they both require me to charge it everynight.
I don't see much of a difference... I was hoping for the promised great battery life on CM7!

Well I've got a HTC Desire S . Before, I was using Sense ROMs which were known to drain battery quicker.
Quite impressed so far today though. Battery seems to be lasting longer than the past dew days for some reason.

Battery life takes a few days to even out after a rom flash. Normally run a rom for about a week to get a real feel for the battery life

I found the battery life to be about the same as sense when i installed CM7 on my HTC Desire GSM. But that was a non-issue for me since I have a charger in the office and at home.

When I had an HTC Desire, I always got much better battery life from AOSP roms such as CM7.
On the other hand, others reported that they got better battery life from Sense roms.
Try it out and see.

Thanks for the additional replies! Yeah, I think my battery has improved more since i sstarted this thread, as the phone has settled down more...
I had 83% battery when I unplugged my phone at 7AM this morming.
Now its 11:35PM and I got 8% left
I've been using the phone moderately for web browsing, texts, calls, installing apps, arond 1hr aand a half music. Also managed to do 2 NANDroid backups and 1 restore! pretty impressed so far!

My battery life has been much better on ASOP roms like CM7 than sense roms. Plus you can't beat the extra storage room that ASOP roms provide.

The battery life on my Optimus 2X grew by probably about 20%, then using vadonka's kernel, it increased it a bit more. I haven't really tracked it but it can go for a few days if I turn off data, 3G and just leave it though!

Yeah I know! one of the advantahes of AOSP, I have much more ROM storage space!
On Sense, with all my apps, I had 860mb free
On CM7 with all my usual apps, plus a bunch of themes and games I have 0.95GB free! Amazing!
I also have at least 150-200mb more RAM ttoo

[Q] sensation roms or mods for excellent battery life

can anybody recommend any roms or mods that will help my sensation gain excellent battery life? ive tried multiple roms on gb and ics and still have had no luck. more recently ive tried ordroid, android revolution, and aokp build 37. with multiple kernels and the xxxpachaxxx-take-batterylife mod and still no luck. i can average about 9-10 hours with moderate usage but i really am looking for about a full 24 hours. is this even possible? ive had multiple phones in the past and there were a few i was able to gain excellent battery life on. for example mytouch4g on a few miui and cm7 roms could get me almost 36 or more hours, now i did keep data off when i wasnt using it, but im doing the same for my sensation and still no luck. is there anyone out there who has any recommendations or answers for me. i realize that not every chip is created equal but this is my second sensation, did i just answer my own question??? thanks in advance

hi,
Did you try ORDroid rom? I think is the best rom in terms of battery life/performance.....

I'm sorry if this an offence to anybody but with my experience it is not. Try hypernonsense for battery.
Also I've seen a mod in the dev section somewhere which brings about good battery but a large sacrifice is required, if you chose the power saving option that is. It only ever has one core running I believe at 1.5ghz ( the processors' true power ).

Check out one of my last posts.there's a link to a very useful battery guide. It helped restore my battery "life".
Also, newer phones use more power. Extended batts. Help this but eventually it will take new tech.nuclear powered phones would last a while.

I'm using a 1900mAH anker battery combined with virtuous inquisition 4.02 gives 24 hours easily. In fact my record was still on 62% after 24 hours
No other ROM comes close. You have to upgrade the battery though as well, which is dirt cheap for the anker.

Definitely up grade your battery ! I use Anker. It's much better than stock! When you switch from rom to rom, go into recovery with 100% full battery and plugged into charger, wipe battery stats from recovery then unplug charger. This will help with the battery life. Hope this helps you. As for Roms I'm currently using ordroid but the best battery life I ever got was from virtuous inquisition, likely because its a SENCELESS rom, I missed sence so I changed over to Ordroid. I wanted to give sence 4 a try. It's a give and take depending on what you want. If you don't care for sence and only care for battery life V.I. is the way to go. Hope I helped you

I'm currently using android revolution hd 6.6.5 and for my needs the battery life is fine.
I have to agree that with OrDroid my battery got drained a lot faster so I switched back to arhd Rom.
I have been on VI as well and it looks slick, mega fast and the best battery life of them all only I found a few bugs and switched back to arhd.
Still I'm used to sense now and ARHD is just the nicest Rom out there for me atm but that's just my opinion

I am running Elegancia ICS Sense 3.6 TMOUS_Edition_3.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663665) using the Bricked v1.1 kernel and am getting about 26 hours with light use and 18 hours with moderate use. In this day and age of power-hungry smartphones, I find this to be quite good!

U may use Faux's kernel on IntelligentDemond gavenor, it has good performence and long battery life.

Andromadus vs. Jellytime vs. PACman vs. Pure CM10

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?

im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.

Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!

I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.

PACman, way to go.

I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

For now I'm switching to my sense rom

On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!

Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.
