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!

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.

[Q] Battery life ROM

I've run Cyanogen ROMS, Senseay, InsertCoin, and ARHD. I'm a pretty heavy user I would say, I get up at 6:00 in the morning, and my battery is usually dead by the afternoon if I don't charge it. To me the roms all seem the same as far as battery life is concerned. Anybody have input as to what roms have given you great battery life, any apps you have that help or what you do it improve battery life?
Thanks

Buy another battery? Im a heavy user and i get about 8/9 hrs. Lasts all day with moderate usage.

I've read a little somewhere about other batteries people buy for the sensation. Any ideas as to what those batteries are?

try miui! perfect battery life!

With light to moderate use on the newest ARHD ICS 5.0.2, I am still sitting on 55% battery life.. and i've been off the charger for 27 hours now using the anker 1900mAh battery. Make sure you match recommended radio's and rils.

Its the banker 1900 math battery. Its really good. My battery usually lasts between 12-21 hours.. i love it

Anker, Mugen, and Chichitec are the companies to buy from.
You can also buy an EVO 3D battery cause it's the same physical size but it's 1730mAH.

I tried many many different ROMS and so far none come close to MIUI / bricked kernel 1.6 combo. i get 2 days of medium/heavy use easy.

Any numbers on the drainage while on standby? May flash a miui rom soon if battery is really that good.

Mind telling me which MIUM ROM version you're running? I've never run MIUI and from what I see there is only one am I right? Most recent version is 1.12.23. If I run that with kernal 1.6 I should have great battery life? I'm not doubting you I'm actually really interested to try this, just want to make sure I get the same configuration as you have to see if I can get similar results. Thanks for the reply.
Also I have the normal sensation 4G not the XE, I noticed the bricked kernel V1.6 says XE, is that problematic with my phone or should I use V1.5?

I must say that ICS4.0 gave me much metter batt.life! im using ARHD 4.0.2 and using stock battery. batterylife is now better then stock ROM (android 2.3.4)
really think you should give it a try. (new firmware will give it even better i think, havent tried)

Try to wipe battery stats.

I tried most of the Rom Energy is the best for sense Rom. For no sense use miui but make sure do not install any launcher use the launcher come with miui.
If u r keen on sense Rom then make sure you have minimum widget running on home screen they r battery draining, try juice defender from market. Turn off auto update. Live wall paper will drain more battery as well.

I always update to the latest MIUI, currently on 1.12.23 yes. I have normal Sensation 4G and running Bricked_XE-Kernel-AOSP v1.6 on it. Works flawlessly!

Revolution HD: ICS vs. Sense and recent releases

I'm trying to avoid having to read through 50,000 posts because the ARHD thread has gotten a bit unweildy...
I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.5.
As you can tell it's been a while since updating and honestly I was waiting around for a stable ICS remix.
At any rate can anyone clue me in on where the scene is at? I see there's different versions of ICS available for ARHD; are they worth while, daily drivers or should I just update my sense ARHD to the current version?

mike1986 said that the current base used for 6.2.1 XE might be close to final. I'm using 6.2.1 XE as a daily driver, without issues.
If you flash this ROM make sure you also flash the correct firmware.

Thanks for the reply.
Did you install the 1.2 or 1.5Ghz version and/or is there a noticeable difference in performance AND battery life? I'm more interested in battery honestly. I'm not much of a power user and I don't stream or watch videos on this really.
Also, is a Super Wipe necessary?

Definitely if you're coming from Gingerbread.

Battery life on ICS sense is amazing for me compared to GB literaly get almost double the batterylife . It sucks though cuz I feel that sense 3.0 is way smoother and faster so I switched back till a new leak is released. Everyone says that sense 3.6 is faster and smoother than 3.0 though :/

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...

Best battery ROM for Sensation XE?

Hi guys, I was just wondering which ROM is the best for battery life. I am looking for any AOKP based ROM like Bruces CM10. I've heard that Android Revolution HD is the best battery life ROM, but I don't like the theme that its based on HTCs stock rom. Any suggestions for good ROMs for battery life?
I'm currently on Bruces CM10, lasts approximately 12 hours with about 2hrs and 30 minutes on screen usage (medium).

Try out a few different roms and see what works best for you. I like paranoid Android personally but you need to try out several roms and see which gives you personally the best battery life. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

Thank you, however could anyone tell me which ROM out of these two has the best battery life?
[ROM][Sense 4.1][11.11] Team Venom: ViperS 1.4.0
or
[KernelTUNER ] [4.1.2][ v.12 ][OS-2.54] OFFICIAL ParanoidAndroid

not everyone uses the standard battery.
you better self test.
is also more fun

Been using ARHD 6.8.0 on a Sensation and the other half's XE. Using sebastianFM kernel.
Slight undervolt and running at up to 1.5ghz. It goes easily a full day of moderate to heavy use. Can get 2 with light use.

Ah I do like the sound of that but I just don't like the stock look of that ROM.

it really depends on how you configure your phone and the kernel to preserve more battery life.

Yeah, at the moment I put my brightness on the lowest, turn wifi off when I can, and undervolted to 1024Ghz and I can just manage about 2 and a half of hours medium usage over a span of 12 hours.
Oh Iv been hearing about Virtious Inquistion ROM, hows the battery on that?
Also the ViperS 1.4.1 rom, can someone give me an insight to the battery on that?
