Ok so i have two questions pertaining to PACrom.
For thew first one, is it just me or is the battery life on this rom not that great, i have had mine go from 100% to 76% in less than an hour and my screen on time was less than 15 mins, is there a way to correct this since even greenify or underclocking it doesnt even make a dent in it.
For question two, it might be a little noobish, but i came from sense and personally loved sense but for some reason every sense rom i flashed acted a little laggy and i love the smoothness of CM but i HATE the AOSP camera with a passion, is there any alternative camera apps that are almost or just as good as the sense camera and the panorama camera sense had?
Thank you in advance for helping me.
Is Google Services using a high amount of battery? That was my problem with the battery life in the rom. If so, delete the data for all the Google apps via settings>apps>all.
As for the camera, you can try Camera MX which has live effects like Sense but it runs slow on my phone. You should try out this awesome Sense rom

My wife uses a rooted Bolt running Virus' Eternity ROM with Sense 3.5. I'm open to trying new ROMs and other less drastic measures as well. I've thought about switching to an AOSP ROM that might free up more memory. I personally use Liquid Smooth and have been trying tweaks to see if my battery life improves before trying to change hers. She uses the FM Radio a lot at work which is the primary culprit of her battery consumption. It's generally fully dead after 6 hours. What options do I have that might increase that life a little longer?
You may wanna take a look at THIS THREAD
Thank you much. I'm not sure how I've missed that thread as I've spent a good bit of time on those forums as well looking at different tweaks.
Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck

There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.
Hello guys
I am posting my experience for Extreme Sensation Power2 ROM. it may help others before flashing, and I would really like it's developer to read it and modify the negative things.
First it's an awesome ROM, very stable, and light on the device, doesn't eat much of the RAM.
99% of everything works perfect without crashing or anything.
Nice look and great customization.
Apex Launcher is great and well integrated to the system.
The -ve stuff I saw was:
The Calendar, crashes when I add accounts.
The battery is eaten up so fast!!! incredibly fast actually.
Touch scrolling all around is not smooth/elastic enough, my Stock ROM was better in scrolling.
I cannot flash Beats Audio, the DSP crashes if I did.
I cannot notice that my device got actually more powerful.
Overall rating: 8/10.
My experiance with that ROM is that its a KANG of CM - read the last 4-5 pages of the thread.
which one has better battery life?

Personally I'd say CM has slightly better battery life. My sense experience is only from stock JB rom, so can't really say about sense based cuatom roms. But with stock rom i got about 3:00 to 3:30 hours of screen-on time as with CM i got (and currently get) from 3:15 to 3:45. Depending a little on the usage of course. My use is mainly web browsing and some random gaming.

In my experience, the battery life was a bit worse in JB with Sense 4+, compared to ICS with sense. I believe that CM10 is a bit better than JB with sense and maybe as good as ICS with sense but it is really heard to say without doing controlled comparisions.
One thing I noticed was that in CM10 the phone was held awake for long period of times, mostly by MAPS application. But it looks like it does not have a detrimental effeect on battery life. It is just annoying to see that your phone is held awake.
AW: Battery life one Sense vs CM
I tried different Roms as Blackbeen or Liquidsmooth which both had pretty good battery lifes. Actially I am running Viper One S 2.2.0 and its battery Life is just awesome even with stock Kernel and minimum CPU of 384 MHz. It feels like its way longer than the others. Will try it with a custom Kernel and have a look if it gets even better...

I think with the various answers here, it's clear to see the difference is pretty small.
Having used both, I am struggling to actually remember which is better! Either one, if everything is behaving, will be good for 24+ hours of moderate use which is very acceptable by smartphone standards.
Currently, am on the CM10.1 unofficial nightlies and not too happy with the screen tearing, the battery drain and some other issues with the mic and sound they are having. Not to mention the DMCA bullsh!t that is currently going on. Was a fantastic rom while xkonni was involved in the development but after the take down sh!t it seems to be getting worse and worse.
I am in search of a new lightweight ROM that is as close to vanilla android as possible.
I have seen ChaOS, Liquid and a couple others and they all look good. But how is there battery, and support from the devs?
My main requirements:
No video/volume issues (ie. tearing)
Long battery life
Simple and clean
**No Sense UI**
Official nightlies
Other than that, I don't care about the special camera apps, just need it to take pics and record video, i don't use WiFi calling that often if at all and the rest is just stuff I hardly use.

Try Codename Lungo. A very lightweighted rom.
My current favorite non sense rom is Chameleon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222873
Worth a look. Nightlies almost every night ( if that makes sense)
