Hi,
Sometimes it takes a couple of cycles (charge/discharge) for a battery to settle.
Alternatively,try a different kernel.

I know they are still working on the Rom .perhaps the battery life will get better as the Rom is upgraded? I'm not sure the recommended kernel for that particular Rom , this could be you need to try a different kernel? Once you have enough posts here ask on developers page the recommended kernel for battery life., this should help a bit. Also you can try juice defender it might help a bit too .as mentioned above it takes some time for a new Rom to "settle" in sometimes .this could also be the issue. Also some roms are better than others at battery conservation. Check your settings make sure nothing is draining battery and set them accordingly. Hope this helps. Best wishes

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

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

why not try the ROMS yourself and find which one is suitable for u. Everyone has a different preference and taste.

I'am trying different roms all the time... right now I'm using FullySamsung-1.0.1 since couple of days... battery life sucks on this rom...
I do not see the connection between battery life and "preferences and taste"...
From my experiences all JB roms for DS are draining battery very fast...

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.

That still isn't answer for a question from first topic... "So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?".
It's just general deviation about the opportunities offered by kernels...

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.

CyanAndroid 4.2.2 CM10.1 Nightly Jelly Bean

Opinions please.
Si im S-off rotted all the hoda stuff currently on Tricksters newest 9.1 jb rom.
But battery life is aweful.
Ive been seeing Cm10 everywhere.
How is it?
Pros please
Any Cons aka known issues?

Ive had verryyyyy little problems with this rom ( when correctly flashed ).
It's fast and in combination with Nova Launcher it's almost flawless.
I use snapchat and it can't handle recording in standard definition.
Battery life isn't too good either for me. I can't imagine going anywhere without my external charger.
The phone only lasts from 8am till 6pm for me, which sucks.
The camera sometimes has a hard time focusing correctly ( or sometimes it wouldn't focus at all ).
All in all, I'm still very pleased with this rom.

CM 10.1 is mostly stable in the recently nightlies I have flashed. Currently I am running 10.1 4/8 nightly with stock kernal. Battery life seems excellent, although I am not a heavy data user per say. What do your battery stats look like? I've been up for 28 hours now and still at 40% battery life, screen being 27% of the drain.
If you have twrp just make a backup of your current and try out cm10.1

What kernel is the best for this ROM??

Bubba Kernel should work fine with cm 10.1
but the stock kernel is running fine too, except the screen tearing.
latest cm10.1 worked fine on my phone, Ive only got one issue, my phone freezed after 10min of phoning and I have to hard reboot my phone.
but everything else works fine.
read yourself through the cm10.1 thread, this should help you to get an overview about the stability of the recent nightlies.

Latest cm10.1 (4/14 4/16) are very laggy. Too much problems with graphic engine.

Which Rom has lower battery drain Fro Htc one s

HI
Can everybody says to me which custom rom for Htc One S has better battery efficiency ? it's better to talk about last versions of each rom.
1.Paranoid Android 2. AOKP 3. CyanogenMod 4. MIUI 5. PAC-MAN
thanks

I've heard really good stuff about odyssey. I get about 26h on average using cm 10.2 though
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

I ran Codename Lungo (stripped down version of CyanogenMod) for a while and it seemed good for battery, but I don't really have any benchmarks.

my first custom rom was PAC-MAN and i experienced very Bad battery draining with it's 4.2.2 release and 4.3 nightlies . lest than 10 H common use such as 3h wireless , 3 calls per day for 2 min avg , working at least 1 h by Ui and ... my htc one s 's battery percentage fell down to approximately 10% . that was very awful
these days i've started to take a survey in most popular Roms and firstly i started with CM 10.2 and this rom have amazed me . 24 H with common use that i mentioned before.
i' m trying more and share results for you as soon .

Short Review of [UNOFFICIAL]CarbonRom for Sensation (25.10. release)

Hello I am fairly new here, and as I dont have the right to post replies in Android Development section I will share my thoughts here.
I am not a pro with Android allthough I managed to add custom ROMs, root and so on on all my previous phones. So a bit advanced android user.
I wanted JB for my HTC Sensation and after reading a few threads here I decided to go with CarbonRom. Today I have to switch away.
PROS:
+ Jelly Bean
+ Nice tuning of CM and JB by Carbon Team - many small customizations that I enjoyed
CONS:
- Random signal drops
- App crashes
- Terrible batterry life (8 hours on standby with EDGE on, on 3G it would be even less)
- App restarts
- Maps glitch (but if I undesrtand it correctly, it is common on Jelly Bean?)
Might be that these problems are specific, and/or have a solution by tweaking, but I wanted a ROM that works with minimum effort. I think of CarbonRom as a great promise in the future, when it is tuned, but for now, it is not for my everyday use. Anyway I thank the author for the development and port and I will probably try it again, when it is a bit more tuned.

Except the Maps glitches (which are related to something on the kernel or something) I don't have any of these issues. Did you clean install the rom? Maybe try the sultan kernel with the rom.

Yes, I made a complete wipe. How long does your battery last when using mobile data? I do not remember having these issues with ICS 4.0.4 - which is why I am looking at Kangs port of CM. There are many random bugs as disappearing keyboard, random app restarts... I dont know if these are ROM related as this is first ROM i tried on Sensation - but I dont recall these bugs on headsets with custom roms before. I will look into changing the Kernel as I am not a big fan of installing and reinstalling again and again. Also I think there is some CarbonRom update.

I have always mobile data and wifi active, also gps. I usually take it from charging at 6 or 7 am and put it to charge at about 11 pm, with about 20% left, depends on how much I used it over the day, sometimes it has only 10%. Once it lasted for over 26 hours, but i didn't use it all the day.
I never experienced app restarts, only on rare occasions I experienced that the keyboard closes itself, but it didn't bothered me much.
In my opinion it's the most stable and smoothest 4.3 rom beside android1-7's cm 10.2 (never tested albinoman's, maybe his is good too, feel free to test them). All I changed is the kernel, because sultan kernel really increases the performance.
As far as I know rathore has an update ready but couldnt it upload to goo.im yet.

Thanks for your reply, I will try the kernel update first and than Albinomans CM if it does not help. Because the little tweakes are really nice in this ROM.

I can't say that I totally agree with you in your review.
No random signal drops for me.
App crashes at the same rate as with other ROM's for me.
I have exelent batterry life.
App restarts at the same rate as with other ROM's for me.

Well compared to stock rom battery sucks on every custom rom i ever tried. When I bought this phone I could use it 2 days without having to charge it.

Same here. I'd have thought battery would improve in custom Roms but what do I know.

I thought that too, but i got proved wrong.

I got similar thoughts according battery performance on custom roms. But nobody remarked that stock rom on nonXE version has lower CPU frequency, so that's why juice lasts longer. So we nonXE users should buy XE battery first.

I have an XE, nonetheless battery performance got worse, so its not the cpu.

Now my earpiece is going crazy. I am doing a NAND backup, and will switch to official ICS to see if these problems are rom related.

Reverted back to stock ROM
I am now on the last ICS stock ROM (rooted). It is just one day but so far:
Ear speaker piece was broken, now it works again (it made somtehing like robot modulated voice)
No call drops
No app crashes
Better battery life
I will update in the next few days, as I dont plan to stay on the stock rom - Jelly Bean is way better. Carbon Rom is very nice but bugged as hell and drains battery - at least from my experience.

Sum-up
All problems descibed here vanished with the install of rooted original ICS. I will try another ROM now, asi ICS with Sense is so damn ugly . Anyway I dont recommend Carbon ROM (the older versions) for everyday use.
