[Q] Best rom htc sensation battery wise?

First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.
I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.
I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion
I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.
I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.
This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently
I will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Thanks

so far, mike's 3.0.1 and the Melvin's Beast is the best for me; battery wise...

Too bad this poll hasn't gotten a larger voting result. I would love to see the poll with votes in the hundreds.

You forgot CM7 alpha 7.... ive tried a couple different roms and lees and mikes dont compare to CM7.

Not all SOCs are created equal
I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.
1. ARHD 4.1.6
2. InsertCoin 3.4.4
3. Reverted AOSP
4. MIUI.us Latest
My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.
I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.
I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.
Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.

IMAO, CM7 is awesome, more than 1 day with medium use !

I've been using ARHD for about 2 weeks now and battery has been absolutely horrible. I cant seem to get more than 4 1/2 hours without getting to 25%. I'm going to try InsertCoin next. Can't wait for the ICS version on CM though!

Sense-O-Maniac Rom which is already debloated runs fast & batt life is awesome!

P3D is the best for me.

[Q] Fastet Rom?

Hey guys,
I just wondered, what Rom is the fastest for my DS.
I tried a few Roms (Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5 and CM7) and now i want to create my own "style". For this, I don't need those widgets of Sense etc.
I just need the fastest Rom with maximum battery life. Any hints?

cm7 and cm7 based like hydrogen...

If you not interested in Sense Widgets then don't bother with Sense...and go for a basic clean ROM.

Any sense rom will always be slower than AOSP due to its bulk, the CyanogenMOD rom in my sigi that is now official is the best and fastest for the DS, as it was for the original Desire.
One word of caution though, if your after speed and are overclocking, speeds in excess of 1.1-1.2G should only really be used by Devs for stability testing. Prolonged periods at speeds higher than a gig or so will damage your phone in the long term.

If you have to O/C then it's doubtful that's its the fastest!

I tried Hydrogen for a few days and it's really fast but the battery life sucks. And I'm not sure but I think, Hydrogen sometimes interrups my calls.
I use LauncherPro für custom dock and icons so I don't need Sense.
Any hint for a smooth ROM with maximum battery life? Is it CM7? I read about Pure S but I'm not sure whether this ROM is supported and up to date.

To me the best ROM would be one with superb battery life

I have tried LBC, proxuser's Desire S Sense 3 and CM 7.1 RC in the listed order.
Stuck with CM7 (performance is out of question - it is very fast) but the most important for me is that I have 4+ days between recharge with moderate usage
No other ROM of the above mentioned lasted more than 2 days.

Sorry I've just noticed your question, but the answer really depends on what your doing. A demanding game at a high clock speed is going to create more burn than simply running some mundane tasks or browsing or what ever. You're talking months before instability creeps in, after that it wont be long before you get a fatal crash no mater what speed you've reduced your clock too.

At first it's a simple rule. What works for me, might not work for you You should try a kernel's and radio's combinations, remember about a RIL matching to radio You choose and give it some time to settle it On GB ROM version best for my battery life was Brick kernels

The best for me now is Virtuous Inquisition-v3.5.0
Quiet good in battery life... My phone on stanby(when im sleep) for 10hours++ and only drop for 1%
Really happy with Virtuous roms

Tried many many ROM's
HyperNonSense had the far best battery life time on my Sensation XE. It was superior to Virtuous. ;-)

Have you tried lowering the cpu and putting it on conservative, that helps me out regardless of rom usually. Using Darkforest now and it hasn't really affected the stock battery life, 6 hours of constant use, more than a full day if I stop fiddling

[Q] ROM for Vacation

Hey Guys,
Tomorrow I'll go on vacation. I won't have data connection there except WLAN sometimes.
Right now I'm unsure what ROM I should take. I like both CM and Sense4.
Which ROM should I take:
-ViperS (former Pkmn) or
-CM9
Which one is more stable, has a bettery battery life or has a better performance?
Ofcourse I'll take bricked kernel
ViperS is a new ROM, so not much Information is available, but maybe you could compare it to the Pkmn ROM or any other good Sense4 ROM.
I don't care about 1080p recording. I don't need 3G, cause I don't have Data anyway. I just need it for normal GSM calls and text messages, games and sometimes Wifi.

My post is about the same xD I'll suscribe to this thread too

Maybe you don't like sense 3.6, but the ARHD 6.6.4 is a very good Rom

in my opinion CM9 is still buggy and far away of a stable state..
and my batterylife is better on sense based roms..
but in the end it depends what you like

Viper has given me excellent battery life! I was amazed. 3 hours in I was still at 100 ! With lite use but my other roms would drain lite use or not. Very suprised at the battery life. Id choose viper for battery.

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

Using Pacman v18.0 at the moment and the battery life is not very good. Its usually dead by evening.

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...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
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)
....
Thanks

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

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.
