Previously I used viper 1.3.5 with different kernel , screen on time not goes above 3 hour for normal use
Now m happy with elegancia , always 3 + screen on time and I set everything default in aroma except max frequency 1296 , no sweep to wake , stock look , thats it.
Viper also use same default configuration as elegancia.

Thanks bro, I'll go try elegancia. I couldnt even have 2h on screen time with viper 1.35. I guess I have to go for elegancia and maybe change back to viper once the 1.4 is released

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...

Need your help guys !

So im having bad battery life and i wanna know what's draining my battery im on 3.32 firmware whit energy rom ics build and aosp theme by shnizlon and id like to know what kind of battery you get on that rom ?
Im trying to see if its the rom or my apps or just need to do a clean flash ?

Can someone tell me how to clean flash ?? Or calibration battery process ? Thanks..

You can download BetterBatteryStats. Charge your phone to full and leave it idle overnight. Then open BetterBatteryStats and see under "Partial Wakelocks" and "Kernel Wakelocks" too see if any app keeps waking up the phone. Then try tweaking those apps sync interval, set it to longest interval possible or just turn off syncing.
If you experience drain with wifi on, it maybe because of the router sending weird signals and keeps the phone up ( like with my old DLink router, it drains 10%/h doing nothing). Try switching to another router if that is the case.
Calibration is a myth and it doesn't help with battery life.
Why don't you try super wipe everything and flash a new rom and kernel from scratch and see if you still get drain from this clean state. My recommendation would be ROM : ARHD 6.5.5 and Kernel : SebastianFM's OverclockedKernel. I have excellent battery life with this combination. I also undervolt all steps -100mV.
you must get new strong battery

Thanks for helping me out but i do not sync anything during weekdays only tjing i do is music whit screen off i don't sync nothing no data connection nothing...
I really want to try arhd however it requires 4ext recovery which i dont like it im more familiar whit clockworkmod but will do clean flash and let you guys know how it goes hopefully it will fix it...

Also use system tuner or setcpu to set minumum cpu speed from 384Mhz to 192Mhz. It helps me with playing music when screen off ( from 6-7%/h to 2-3%/h).
4XT recovery is touch version of cwm with some more features like MD5 checksum, mount sd etc... Try it and you will love it. Good luck.

What kind of total screen on time do you get? I can get about 2.5 to 3.5 hours screen on time with either ICS or GB. Apparently, that's the norm.
Also, get an Anker or ChiChiTech 1900mAh battery. About 30% increase.

Nooo don't use 3.12 firmware... It's. Not compatible with most of custom ROMs... 3.12 is a gb firmware.. But somehow its working with ordroid... That's all if you tried to run any other custom rom with 3.12 you'll have bootloops

As for battery get an anker one... I get 4 hrs 15 min screen time and tot of 15-18 hrs time...
For better battery results you need to let rom/kernel settle a little.. For rom/kernel to settle you need to do atleast 3 complete charge cycles.. First cycle do a wipe of battery stats

Settings to use to avoid lag and battery drains when installing viperS Rom

Hi guys what settings should I use when installing viperS Rom in order to avoid lags and battery quick drainage. Please I need help I have installed this Rom twice now and I experience lag and my battery drains quick.
The best solution for me was flashing Faux123 Kernel
I flashed sebastian kernel with the mod. So far it seems to help.
I asked this same question on viper site and this was many people's suggestion. Look on viper site a few pages back and the links are posted for the kernel. Then look for the mod in android themes and apps. I've had pretty decent battery so far.. best wishes

I forgot to say in tweaks in advanced settings, disable log cat for better battery life. You won't have logging, but most of us don't use the logging anyway.if you have problems and need logging just turn back on. But I keep mine off to save battery.

I have been searching around and can't seem to find a kernal setting to change my mhz. Are people using a specific apk installed with the rom to kermod after a flash to adjust mhz and ondemand and badass for instance?
Thanks guys I just reflashed the Rom now choosed lag free and is working like charm. So am going to disable ligcat now. Reporting later.

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.

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?
