Does CM10 gets the HTC One X to the level of a Nexus device?
I'm trying to decide which cellphone to buy an HTC One X or a Nexus 4...
In my country I can get the HTC One X cheaper (the at&t version with lte) ... but I would like to have a great android expierence on jellybean.
=)
Both devices have their trade offs.
Specifically about CM10, it's pretty good, but AOSP roms have pretty bad battery life on the HTC One XL.

Thanks for the reply... It is good to know about the battery life.... I'll probably get the nexus 4.
Thanks! =)

In general any non native code roms (in this case aosp) are going to have more problems/run less smooth/have worse battery. For instance on my sgs3 no matter what the battery on cm10 was always worse no matter the usage versus touch wiz.

In regards to battery life I echo the above comments. With stock speeds I got worse battery life on cm10 than I do on a sense rom overclocked to 2ghz with both cores on.

I love my One X (ATT Branded) but I bought mine when SG3 and Nexus 4 was not available. It fit the bill and I needed a new phone at the time as I was traveling and didn't want to take my iPad as my personal device. Take note, Nexus 4 4G may not work in all countries. Look at some threads. If that is not an issue, I would get Nexus 4. In some countries like the US, with a contract, you can get One X for dirt cheap.
I personally disagree with aosp ROMs getting worse battery life. Me and my wife both have one x and she's running a sense ROM while I'm running aosp and we get around the same battery life. It all really depends on your usage.

I think the biggest difference is standby time - CM10 definitely drains faster in standby than Sense. I'm not sure if this is due to Sense's aggressive process management or something in AOSP. People who use their phones more actively are less likely to notice a battery life difference. If, on the other hand, your phone is asleep most of the day and you only wake it occasionally, it'll seem like a bigger hit.
That said, I find that the experience of AOSP is definitely worth the battery life trade-off.

I agree with you, people that CAN change the rom its beacuse they USE more the phone...
Battery life and mobile data download/upload speeds are noticeably lower than Sense. For example, with 1 bar of H+ on Sense, I get about 1.5 mbps. On CM10, I get around .5 mbps.
However, CM10 is much smoother, faster, and (usually) more stable. Wonderful ROM. Highly recommended for a non-Sense ROM.

Totally agree, with almost the same apps and stuff Sense can stand by 10 hours draining only less than 5 percent while CM10 drains almost 20 percent. But now the CM10 is quite solid, not that buggy and I really like the stock Android feeling and Google Now, so I'm running CM10 without complaint. PS. Sense Camera is waaaayyyyyyy better

hi, i have a thunderbolt and the batterylife sucks. any suggestions for a rom and kernal for the best batterylife? thanks
IMHO there are no black and white answers to this. It depends on how you use your device - more for voice/text or more for data, where you are in relation to the towers and how often you are moving between 4G and 3G.
The one bit I will attest to through experience is that the Gingerbread Sense ROMs chewed through battery a lot more than the Froyo ROMs. (Except Cyanogen Mod 7 but there are radio issues with that. Ones I have learned to tolorate as it is my DD.)
Regardless of rom, you will get max battery with imoseyon's kernel, battsaver mode, 1ghz max + whatever min your phone can handle. Froyo roms get marginally better battery than GB roms. I have not tried cm7 but I have read more than one person suggest it gets less than Froyo or GB.

Froyo 1.66 Stock (plainjanev3 I think is the rooted version). Guaranteed best battery life among the whole bunch. with moderate use, you can go a full day.
Never had any problems with any of the BAMF ROMs
I am going to build a solar powered charger. All supplies bought from Radioshack for around $30. This way, I can carry a charger with me anywhere I go.
However, I am running gingertheory, and battery life has been pretty good. Can go all day at work and lose about 60% with heavy use.

I'm going to second this one, The gingersense roms total kill my battery, but cm7 sips it slower than any other rom in my experience. It's totally functional for me, with the exception that I can't receive vcards in MMS, and the MMS issues are well known. It's my longest running DD currently.
Can't stand Sense, but seems like AOSP ROMs have its fair issues with the Thunderbolt.. Has anyone tried both? If so, which had the better battery life?

I like AOSP, but I'm just wondering if a stripped out/unbloated De-Sensed ROM has better battery life and less bugs than a AOSP one. Btw, I have a stock battery.. + 2 spares.
I got WAY better battery life with a de-sensed rom over AOSP. No matter what kernel/rom combination I try nothing has come close to sense or sense based roms.
AOSP roms are not perfect yet as far as the RIL, but way too much useful stuff on certain ones to go back to sense for me. Battery life is probably 12-16 hours on average for me on CM7 RC 1.6. If it lasts that long, it's good enough for me.
I think it comes down to personal preference. I didn't see a big enough difference to stay with one over the other for battery life. I'm sure it's different for everyone based on kernel settings, oc or not, number of things active in background, level of use etc.

I agree. Both are pretty stable now assuming you install them right and don't mess them up. Differences in battery are as you said, usage overall and what you installed after the rom. I'd say at this point in the life of both sense and the AOSP based roms. Much of how good a ROM is, depends on how knowledgeable a user is in using it to its potential, just like with any electronic device.

I dont notice ANY substantial difference between AOSP or Sense.
I've tried the following TB roms:
Das Bamf Remix 1.8.6 (and others in that series)
CM7
Various Synergy Builds
Gingeritis (current ROM)
I'm a heavy data/phone/txt user. I only have the standard battery. I get through 1 day on a full charge with any of the roms above, and no more then that.

Just installed NonS3ns3 and its fast as eff. Now looking for a low voltage kernel, is there a preferred kernel?
By asking which is better you've now got all these "fanboys" from each side swearing that their side is the best. Well, honestly, both can be great on battery. The ROM doesn't play as big a role in battery life as you think. It's moreso the kernal & the radio.
I find on either side the MR2.5 & MR 3.5 radios do well. AOSP side the leankernal is great and on de-sensed the dreamkernal is great.

Thanks for the info. Trust me, I get the major reason for battery life is always a kernel and underclocking. I had the OG Droid and I modded it like crazy, the only reason why I started this post was because if Sense takes so much space and RAM I wanted one that was minimal. I'd take AOSP, but I searched a ton and it has its issues on the Thunderbolt unfortunately.

Please dont ask me for buying 1800-1900 mAh batteries because those available near my area and on ebay are CHINESE- it is written on them that they give only 500 cahrging cyacles and I'm the man whose cell hangs on the charger around 3 Hours a day while fully charged

All phones are different as to how much battery life you get, depends on what Rom / Kernel / Radio you are using.
Coredroid 2.6 with Faux Ultimate Kernel is great for battery life for me.
Have you calibrated your battery ?

I'm a G2 / iPhone 4S user and I can honestly say that iPhones' battery is crap. Might be the bug everyone's on about, but seriously - I don't even think it's a bug, just the iCloud service, and all the rest background info and diagnostics that are sent all the time. I switched all of them off, and still it sucks battery on Idle more than Android. I can get through a day, sometimes two on the G2 with MIUI, iPhone drops like 15-20% overnight, and about 10-15% per hour daytime.
I, personally got tired (and bored) of the OS in a couple of months and selling the 4S.
Maybe it's just me, but I get excited when I see news of new ports, kernels, hacks etc on my Android RSS feed, on iOS feed all I get is "amazing new wallpapers" news.

I must agree, iPhone battery is worst. My Dad has iPhone 4s and My wife has iPhone 4 so I know how quickly the battery drains especially the 4S. There are also other things that bothers me about IOS. It is not as user friendly or intuitive as you think. I used to think that out of the box, iPhone has the more user friendly OS but not anymore.
I found out that you can not attached files as easy as you would like android when composing e-mail. There is no conditional call forwarding options in the call forwarding settings. Turning wifi on/off is not as easy as placing a widget on the home screen for toggling. No text reflow. browser doesn't play flash (There are a lot of sites that my wife visits that plays flash videos and her ipad/iphone can't play it). I'm sure there are more

aren't almost all, if not all batteries made in China these days?
if it makes you feel better you can pick up a Official HTC Evo 3D battery. 1730mah.
I have it in my Senny and have been pretty happy with it.
anyway, from what I understand, IPhone 4/4s batteries are 1420mah...
also, the battery in the Iphone is gonna wear out at some point, then you'd have to deal with the hassle of sending it to Apple for a replacement.
you'll loose the bigger screen and customization of Android phones, and have to deal with a boring OS.
not worth it imho.
If I was in your shoes and have battery problems, I'd just get a new, bigger battery... but that's me...
whatever you choose, good luck.
flash miui, your battery life will be much better since its very light. or trying using an ics rom(preferbly the senseless ones) it has really great battery life

No, I'll do with an iPhone, what an iPhone is best at - I'll sell it ))))
I agree with the commenter above, I didn't want to rant about the OS, but since we're on the subject - iOS is far less user friendly, because of the closed and unintegrated OS architecture.
For example: Apps can not communicate with one another. Like when you are in a RSS reader the "full" article will open in a webView space, meaning it's not the Safari browser, but an interface the developer created, that has the safari rendering engine inside. So, every app developer has to "create" a browser of his own, witch is a bad idea and often feels like an afterthought. If you use services like Read It Later, there is no guarantee that an App will allow you to save the article for later reading, because the app can't see it's installed - you have to hope the developer included it in its "share" option. There is almost always a "read in Safari" option, but you can't change it - you can not assign a browser you like and use as your default browser. same with Camera, Gallery app etc.
The things mentioned above, like browser without text reflow, t9 dialing, easy way to toggle BT, WIFI, Brightness etc...
Settings is a clusterf*ck! I don't know where the whole iOS = Consistency thing came from, but believe me - there is nothing consistent about iOS Settings. Some apps will have settings right inside the app, some will integrate their settings into the OS settings menu, some will have both. For example in an IM app you'll have your settings for color theme inside the apps Options menu, and separate ringtone options in the OS Settings. More than that - Even some Games will throw some options into the OS Settings. So you want to turn off notifications for your emails. You go into Settings, and you have to find Mail Settings among Guns'n'Glory, GT racing, Location Services, Mobile Networks etc... And clicking on Guns'n'Glory might give you an option to turn ingame Vibration On/Off, for example - Why not include the option inside the game menu!??
iTunes is another bi*ch As it turns out you can not sync your phone to more than one computer in 2012 - wtf? Real world example for you here: I chose that my Work PC will be my computer i sync my iPhone with, because I spend more time with tech at work than at home, so now i'm on holidays for 2 weeks and I can't even put any music on to my iPhone! for 2 freaking weeks my iPhone enjoys the autonomy, while I'm out of office - it's ridiculous.
We are spoiled by Android. It's far more productive. iOS is good for launching apps - nothing more. Imagine your current Sense device as it is now, but stripped of everything, but the app drawer. You unlock your device, and there is nothing but the app drawer there.
no u should on it

If you haven't tried it, give SENSEaY a try. I almost gave up on the sensation and started looking at the sgs 2, but since flashing that rom I routinely charge every other night, sometimes every 3 nights. In the post there are tips for saving battery life. I think mostly turn off pocket mode and phone finder helps a lot.
Another thing I want to point out is the Evo 3d oem battery is only $14 on Amazon, I don't know if you can get that shipped to you somehow. 15% extra is not a lot, but it does help.
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 find pretty similar battery life, on my desire S. haven't really found any mod providing better life than any other.
have you tried the battery extending tip here (can't post link, stupid new poster restrictions):

works on desire s also, I don't have any scientific measure but battery life certainly feels improved since I did it

Is that better than on Sense for you?

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

hi guys,
I have been running ViperXL for the past one year. However, I have been longing for stock android for a long time. However, the last time I tried CM/AOKP (couple of months back) - the feature set was not on par with Sense 4 ROMS - mainly around driver issues.
For e.g. there were bluetooth problems, HDMI/MHL did not work, battery life was much worse, etc. I was wondering if that has gotten fixed and original android roms are on par with the Sense based roms.
FWIW - I'm not actually worried about the power features like some notification bars, etc. but basically fundamental performance and functional comparisons.
For a long time, AOSP ROMs have had as many/more features than Sense ROMs and everything works just fine. The battery life isn't quite as good, but it's acceptable.

You may try the stable cm10 rom. Its good.
Cm10.1 is good, plus has a new 3.4 kernel, which in your case may not be suitable, unless few little bugs don't bother you a lot.
You can also try sense 5 roms, but then again, no Bluetooth as of now.
Try Rebeless rom. Its based on stock sense4+ but gives you an Aosp feeling.
I hope this helped. :good:
I keep coming back to sense in the end.. Little bugs here and there and the battery life is usually pretty bad. Radio problems are huge. On my college campus many of the rooms have 0 reception, forcing me to toggle airplane mode when I got out of class before I could reconnect to the towers. Caused me to miss a lot of texts and calls...

thats what I'm worried about - my phone is work critical to me. I need to be available on phone, chat, email all the time. Which is why I'm concerned that there is no real replacement for Sense based ROMs in terms of stability and performance. Extra features ? maybe - but that's not what I need.
If you really want to use aosp you could try one of the 4.1 ROMs. In particular, the King Kang ROM by Rohan is awesome. It never missed a beat for me, and had the great customization that aosp offers.

IMHO if your phone is used for work you shouldn't even root it... That's a huge security risk for any data kept on your phone.
I would have a separate phone for work and for rooting.

Not only did I root it, but I was part of the bounty that originally rooted it !
I'm not worried about blowing out my phone - that i can replace.
I just don't want a non performing phone as my daily driver.

I'm not running that ROM anymore, but from memory depending on use the overall battery time could be towards 20 hours or so. And I think I usually got between 2-3 hours screen on time. Always on mobile data, no WiFi.

Personally I found that battery life was close to double on sense based Roms.
Overall sense Roms feel smoother, and aosp Roms feel faster.
YMMV.
I usually run sense based (viperxl) but get bored and will try aosp randomly . always go back to viper though
Edit: if your looking for a daily driver I would go sense based for sure.

roughly 5 hours screen on and 20+ hours standbye.
but I would rate my usage as medium-heavy.
aosp based. (aokp included) usually get about half of that
But yeah with less usage/screen time my battery would probably last a long time
