Which ROM seems to get the best battery life? - HTC Sensation

I was really pleased with Hyper NonSense but there were a couple bugs I couldn't tolerate anymore. I'm on XenonHD now and the battery life is horrendous. What ROM seems to work best for everyone?

For starters, get an anker. After a few cycles you will notice a huge difference in battery life.
All ROMs are going to be very similar in battery life. There's not a "super" ROM that can last all day and one that can last 3 hours.
My point is, all ROMs are about the same in battery life. An anker will greatly increase the battery life, no matter what ROM.

I actually do have an anker already. The hyper nonsense would last me more than a day sometimes and easily about 16 hours with moderate use but this rom so far cant last 8 hours with use.

Well, 16 hours of use is not bad. What about your on screen time?
I would also try albino's ROM. it doesn't get extreme battery life, but it is decent.
Inspiration ROM also is battery friendly.

For me, the best battery life came from Cyanogenmod 10.1 with stock clock speeds.

ARHD on stock kernel is good for buttery.
INSPIRATION not looks good, but now I am testing it with Badass governor. will report back if good.

Don't forget that you need a few full charge cycles to be accurate. What first can look like a crappy battery life, after a day or two can last a LOT longer.
Usually kernels based of the official htc tend to last longer, like SebastianFM kernel, Bricked kernel, and BanB has also a stock one with overclock.

Teambridge rom is the best. Fast smooth and best batterylife i had*(have?) ever seen

I think Android Revolution HD is one of the best ROM. With stock kernel you have a good battery-saving. By the way I think that stock kernel is a little laggy for my taste, so I use custom kernels (like Sultan or Faux) that drain more battery but sure speed my phone!

I have used VIPERS 1.6.3 for a while now but with Sultans 17.5 kernel. With the help of greenify I have managed to get the battery to last for 1d16h with around 2-3hrs of screen-on.
I also use an ANKER battery and not the stock as the stock one died on me!
I have been told that NON-SENSE ROMs have better battery life, but this VIPERS 1.6.3 and SULTAN kernel seems to be a homerun for me!

OK first it's impossible for all rooms to take the same battery life they all use different default kernels and tweaks which are aimed at performance vs battery vs looks. I found inspiration to be the best so far darksense is great too

[Q] Your best screen on time?

Hello I am looking for what people have gotten for their best screen on time (from 100%).
Which rom/version were you using? Which battery were you using? What was your screen on time?
-Thanks
Latley I have been using cm9 and cm10 and batter life has sucked. CM10 gets me 1 hr 30 min max (with anker and evo3d battery). Was much better on sense gb and virtuous inquisition roms
Looking for actually numbers here not just which rom is best
Hi there, I just bought a mugen 3500mah battery , had it about 5 days now . With heavy use I'm still getting about 3 hours at 100% and the battery lasts all day, into late night and the lowest I've ever drained it was 42% into late night.that's about17 hours heavy use leaving 42% ! It's been amazing!! If you're looking for a better battery life, get a mugen 3500mah. I've tried Anker, chichitec, even the mugen 1900 but I've never had such great battery life as I get with the mugen 3500mah. There is one catch though, you have to change the back cover to fit the battery. It comes with the battery. It's not so bad, but it does make the phone thicker . For me it's totally worth it for the battery life I get! The cover fits perfectly without any trouble.this battery has made a world of difference for me ! I no longer worry about draining the battery!it's well worth the cost! So if battery life is important to you I highly recommend getting this battery! I'm also running viper Rom with PYDX-stable2 kernel. This kernel has been amazing! It's so fast and smooth! Viper has a lots of available customization in it. This is my choice. But when it comes to roms, I HIGHLY suggest you try out SEVERAL for yourself and form your own opinion on what's best for YOU. With roms it's a personal opinion and what suits me might not suit you. So don't just take opinions and try out SEVERAL for yourself and see what suits YOU best!! That's the fun part the experimenting and then form your OWN opinion. I hope this helps you out. Best wishes to you!

i think your battery is dying.did you try to use another battery to see if it happens the same?
about battery life it depends from the usage that you are doing,UV mods,how mauch cpu oc.
me personally i'm using sebastianFM's kernel and i have a nice battery life
with normal usage it holds 3-4 days
Hi there I agree you need a new battery. I just received my new battery about a week ago. It's been Amazing! With heavy use I stay on 100% for two hours! I can use it all day into late night, approximately 19 hours of HEAVY use and still be on 42% and the battery is not fully conditioned yet! I've tried many batteries, Anker chichitec, etc.. but none of them can compare to this one. It's the mugen 3500mah battery. If you're serious about battery life, this is the battery to get. I wish I'd got mine sooner but I was trying to save a few bucks. I realized in the long run its worth it to buy the better battery. Yes it's expensive but it's honestly worth every penny to have long lasting battery and not worry about charging through out the day any more! It comes with a replacement back cover to fit the battery. Not to worry the case fits precisely and I still get a strong H signal and navigation without a single problem. The phone will be thicker but it feels good in my hands and I don't mind it being thicker. I'll take a thicker phone with this battery life any day! I ordered straight from mugen site because there are counterfeit ones and I wanted to be sure what I was getting. It talks about two weeks and it arrives registered mail. I can't tell you enough what a HUGE difference this battery has made! I highly recommend this battery! I did save up for it because 100 dollars is a lot of money for me but I can honestly say this battery is worth every penny and more! My biggest complaint was battery life and I'd tried everything to make it last longer but it never really made a significant difference. I'm so glad I have this battery! If you're looking for an answer to the short battery life, this 3500mah battery is the answer!! I'm a customer for life now! I highly recommend you getting this battery! Especially since you are needing a new battery.you won't regret it for a second! I know I don't! ! Best wishes

Strange because when I used ARHD I still had the battery issue on my device...it still was draining faster than it should. Now I'm running viper with pydx stable2 kernel. I have a extended battery so battery life is awesome. I've discovered a better battery really makes the difference! Finally with the mugen 3500 mah battery my battery life is great! Before I got it I tried EVERYTHING to achieve better battery life. Nothing was significantly helping. Finally I learned its in the battery its self.once I changed that I no longer had the battery drain problem. Hope this helps.

Oh ok. are you a heavy user? Can you give me lil more details about your usage.
Sure, I am a extremely heavy user ! I use my device for entertainment also. I play games, surf the web, listen to music. What I did was bought a extended battery. I went for the big guns and bought the Mugen 3800mah. But I can still tell battery life on a rom, weather or not I'm getting a heavy drain or not. This battery lasts with extremely heavy use around 26 hours. Without heavy use it lasts longer. However I had to use the replacement back to fit this battery and it did make my device thicker. It's a trade off for the battery life I guess. It really doesn't bother me. But if your looking for extreme battery life, I suggest you switch your battery to a long lasting battery. Back to the rom, I'm using the newest kernel version 56 from DK, and it's really been great. I'm not getting as big of battery drain as I was with other roms. You should give it a try and see what you think? Best wishes to you!

keeping one cpu off means better battery life(if i am not wrong) but less performance

[Q] [Battery] Going to Global Gathering, need best battery life

Hiya,
Just a quick ask around about battery life. Simply based on stats and usage by all of you, which ROM for our One S gives the most battery life.
I'm asking this as I'm going to Global Gathering, and would love for my phone to stay alive for more than a few hours, so that I can take photos/video's while I'm at the festival each day.
For example is 4.1.2 have a better battery life compared to 4.2.2 and I'm also interested in performance between the various ROMs that are out there. Kernel settings would be lovely as well.
Try latest liquidrom, downclock to 1,1ghz and buy a battery pack for 30 € With 10.000mah, you can charge your phone 4times With this pack.
