[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!

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...

Which Rom are you running ?

I was wondering which Rom are you guys running ?
Which gives you guys the best battery life ?

Seconding VI 4.0.1
Running on a day and a half of battery life and only down to 30% w/ an Anker 1900.
I tried to get into ARHD
Really, I tried. But...
HTC Sense.. just ... ugh. I'm disgusted with it.

I've used ARHD before ICS and after, in my opinion, it's the most stable.
But I'm currently running OrDroid with Sense 4, I think Sense 4 is way better than 3.6.

I'm running Ordroid v.1.8.7 (sense 4) and I'm loving it ! using a power saving kernel too, called Anthrax!

Ya I'm running arhd

Android Revolution 6.5.5
I use the gears of war battery mod and nova launcher.
It's a great combination of speed and stability. Android Revolution has proven the most stable in my uses.

using ARHD 6.6.0 currently, have been using ARHD versions mostly since getting my sensation last June. have tried cyanogen mod 7.1 as well as a couple of others without sticking with them for long.
this virtous inquisition doesnt have the phone unlock issue on receiving a call anymore right? been thinking of going for a closest to vanilla ICS experience for a bit.

Another ARHD user here
For me its the most stable. I can get 2 days battery too !
i love the modded stock look so for me its a winner.

Haha, I consider myself a moderate user...
Wifi on always - overclocked to 1.6ghz (on demand) min freq 328ghz
I guess im just lucky lol
I dont use auto brigtness, I select my own and leave it... Auto brightness for me was the biggest battery drain, It did not adjust properly and screen was using over 65% of battery
Now its down to about 25% ish

Virtuous Inquisition >> I like it senseless. Battery life is decent on moderate use, yet to try a different kernel to see if I can squeeze more.
ARHD is solid. very stable and good battery life.
Ofcourse battery life depends on how you use. I have not been lucky with battery since me HD2 days, but adjusting the brightness helps as stater.

VI v4.0.1 nosense 99% aosp and it's rocken!

Opensation ICS 4.0.4
I am a big fan of CyanogemMod 9 thought it has some minor bugs. For me its 98 percent stabl and 100 percent ics vanilla. I get 14 to 15 hours on a single charge with my 5 months old stock battery. I

I am devoted to Mike's ARHD for the time being. I tried several.. but none of them could give me decent battery. Gonna try CM9 when it is officially released tho..

Bricked, haven't track Anthrax and Faux kernel always seems to have a lower FPS in the UI no matter what rom or version of Android I've tried.

Bricked.
Show always puts out solid stuff!

I'm trying bricked and so far so good
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Bricked...find battery life better that overclocked kernel. And sweep2wake is great.

SebastianFM Overclocked kernel v1.4.1
This one is the best for me... 1728Mhz version is stable for me... Battery consumption is great (average use with wifi always on can last up to 2 days.. Using with set-cpu app to limit the higher frequency border sometimes when cpu power is not needed..

Faux. Very responsive, great battery life.

another bricked here. i thought sweep-to-wake was just a gimmick but after using it a little while i'd miss it if i couldn't have it. plus bricked is fast and stable and great battery.

Sebastians for my current rom....

I'm also using SebastianFM 1.4.1 kernel at 1782 mhz. Very stable and smooth. The battery life is fine for me, better than stock.

Don't know about anyone else, but I don't use 'kernals'...
I use 'kernels'
Just saying...

I use Faux123 v004, I tried different kernels and this is for me the best, it don't need setcpu to uc when screen is off and battery drain is so good (since 20h30mn I used 25% with normal utilization)..

Bricked

Faux. great battery life.

Bricked. best performance and good battery life. Phone doesn't heat up that much anymore unlike when I was using faux. I love the fact that you can set what are the default values you like for the Max/Min/Screenoff and choose also your preferred GPU OC. Very stable and very balanced.
Using v0.61
ShowP also offers great support for the kernel and its users. He is now currently working on Sweep2wake and sweep2lock. It's a great feauture that lets you easily wake and lock the screen just by swiping the softkey.

What kernel are you using on the new viperS rom?

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the variety of kernels for the new viperS rom. What are you all using and what is your performance, fluidity and battery life like? What kernel or rom mods are you using and why? What effects are you achieving?
I'm curious to see what our sensations can do!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

The first one one the kernels download list in venom hub.
ondemandX 192-1188
undervolt of 100
gpu2d/3d by default..no oc
disabled location, gmail, and other htc apps/services
no facebook, twitter or any similiar active programs.

I'm running the same kernel with no over clock or under volt of any kind. Location on, Facebook on, what's app and viber and 4hr poll on exchange mail. Wifi on and 2g data when Wifi not available, 83 per cent after 4 hours and 20 minutes standby.

I use faux atm. Phone runs much smoother, but my battery life was hit hard by this...
Think the next kernel I'll try is the forbidden one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I must agree, faux is definitely the smoothest and snappiest kernel, at least on my phone, but same as you, battery is hit hardest, but I find hardest hit on standby, but reasonable on active usage.
SebastianFm is, on my device, definitely the most stable, but less modded. A nice simple kernel. Coupled with the flashable aroma mod from iba21, it's extremely battery friendly, yet still satisfactory in performance.
Bricked with its flashable mod is also very battery friendly in idle, but I find it hits hardest on active usage.
Pyd kernel, although I've read good things about this kernel, I don't really fancy flashing boot images and the like, so I can't comment on it personally. I would like to hear more on this kernel though, from active users
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

i am using Faux10b7. At 192 min 1566max cpu
gpu over clocked to 300, no zram, -100ma underclock.
Everything is smooth. Phone gets heated only when playing games.

i agree using faux is the best for performance, no lags and delays, everything is smooth... been using the forbidden one just moments ago, so far it is good, but remember to nandroid backup before you install and try different kernels esp. the forbidden one.
