[Q] Best HTC Sensation Custom ROM and battery life

Heyy,,as the topic says which is the best custom ROM for Sensation and which ROM has good battery life?

You will get flamed for your post. Every rom its unique to its dev. Threads like this create a barrier for devs where one dev will get more quentin than another cuz of a thread like this. I suggest you try out the roms personally and stick to one you yourself prefer

my thoughts exactly, plus, have in mind that the very reason for an open source OS, a rooted device, and rom development, is that different people need and want different things out of their device.
cheers.

It differs even with exactly same install for two different answer. There is no combo that would work the same.

Would it be useful to have a thread that posts comparisons for each rom so users can compare key features side-by-side and objectively decide which might suit them best, without having to download and flash every single one?
Things compared could be key distinguishing features, kernels supported, average reported free ram, benchmark scores (controversial I know).
Just a thought

I tried 2-3 roms but atleast i think insertcoin is the best.Very very fast and smooth but best of all the battery life is amazing.

I'm still running stock room unrooted, while reading a lot of ROM's threads and posts. Choosing a better battery life rom.

Agreed and I just flashed coredroid 2.3. So far only on complaint battery went down when first flashed.. expected.. but the problem was I plugged in my phone and turn it off then battery would not charge. Too dead to turn on. I got past that and now battery is a lot better have used non stop for about 12 hours and down to 30 percent
Would normally have to charge after about 6 on stock. So no complaints. Also I'm partial to the blue skin

+1 for Coredroid 2.3, although I need to calibrate my battery, I flashed at 60%, when it died, I swapped batteries. So far 41 % left, just over 12 hours with 2+ hours screen on. I get over a day on stock ROM with medium to heavy use on my Anker battery.

It's not just the rom you run its the custom kernal that helps out. I run Virtuous Inquisition 4.01 and I use the Socali 1.2ghz underclocked kernal for better battery life. Even though I do a lot on it I can manage to get about 20 hours on it, lots more if I don't play videos or music.

i just tried almost every rom and i made this result:
battery life:
1. opensensation (latest update)
2. android revolution hd 6.6.3
3. OrDroid 2.2.0
[..]
performance
1. android revolution hd 6.6.3
2. hyper slite insertcoin 5.3.0
3. virtous s4v alpha3
this result are totally objective.. it is just my opinion.. i didnt test elegancia rom out because its not my favor

when i flash in a ROM i will probably take Revoulution 6.6.3 .. seems really stable..

I use ViperS 1.6.3 and BrickedKernel 3.0.36 and the performance is GREAT!!
But it drains battery .... omfg, more than stock
But it's a nice rom and with heavy usage you can use your phone for quite a day... so the balance between battery drain and performance is quite okay, so it is like I think

[Q] Could someone suggest me a ROM with good battery life?

Hi guys. My dad bought a Nexus S i9023, and I slapped an ICS ROM on top of it. The thing is: the battery drains very quickly. As he is a businessman, he needs a ROM that has a good battery life, let's say, for two days (more would be welcome). What would you suggest me?

Thanks for your reply. I'll try that.

Yw Man ..
im not so pro but there is many many rom and kernel can help you about battery saving .. but both of em were my own exprience..
AndroidMe 1.1.0 And Eugene Kernele Speedy 3 .. both awesome
dont know about their new version .. but i read ppl comment new version more stable and faster ..

From my experience the ROM doesn't affect battery life as much as a kernel can.
If you're using the stock ICS ROM try flashing Eugene373's SPEEDY 5 kernel.
Select Gov: Scary
IO Scheduler: Simple IO
This kernel has the best DEEP SLEEP times which in effect should have better battery life.
However on another note, 2 days of battery time is nearly impossible if he's going to make several calls a day. No matter what ROM/Kernel you use, you still have to plug in the charger at least once in the course of 48 hours.

i would say , it's not about ROM , but something related to kernel and your usage.
try Steve.Garon kernel or Eugene373's kernel , they say they are battery friendly. try UV , never OC, i would suggest 100 - 800 is good.
about usage , set brilliantness to minim as possible , don't use 3G connection but 2G, shut GPS BT and WIFI when not need.
easiest way !!! why don't you buy your dad an extra battery or external power source ? i don't know how to say it in english , just like a big battery , contains at least 10,000+ mAh ,and can use it charge phone, laptop , mp3, mp4 or something via USB.
like me , i have 2 batteries , so i don't worry about my battery ...it hardly kill 2 batteries in one day...

kangy-s rom with eugene's speedy 5 sio scheduler .. i get one day heavy usage with like 5 hrs on call .. over 100 sms .. over 2 hrs of whatsapp usage .. music .. its awesome

Thanks for your replies guys! I installed AOSP+ ROM with Eugene kernel 3.1.9.
Edit: It's over one day since my dad's Nexus is unplugged, and the battery is 50% !!

hey guys sry for the late reply.. the ic suggestions are really great but i actually wanna try out with gingerbread roms also.. and from the list i searched in, am guessing these roms come with theiir custom kernels...
http : / / nexusshacks . com/category/nexus-s-roms/page/2/
but they all seem to be OC...
so i would really be thankful if u could suggest me some gud ones..
thanx a lot
FYI: is installing a new kernel safe?? and can i revert back to stock kernel if i wanna?? sry for basic questions but i dono much about kernels...

Rom with Good battery
I have tried many many many ginger bread roms, from cm 7 to other roms. I must say oxygen rom is by far the best. used to have 1.5-2 days of battery life with it. of course coupled with Glados kernel or Trinity. Up to you, just give it a shot, u wont regret it make sure u install 2.3.1 not 2.3.2 as its more stable
download.oxygen.im/roms/update-oxygen-2.3.1-NS-signed.zip
and for Ice cream Sandwich i would definitely suggest AOSP+ by Androiduser 0011000. its simply great with minor modifications. Gives great battery life with Glados or ICUP Eugene speedy 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397358
hope i was of help
PS. Flashing kernels is very safe. A Kernel contains the Drivers for your phone.so its very safe. Custom Kernels usually offer nice mods like "better screen colors" "better Battery" and "BLN" which i like the most because the 4 touch buttons light up when u recieve smthg.
and ofcourse you can always go back to stock.

cool thanx a lot.. will try it today itself..

Stock ICS with TEUV Or Speed 5

Miui has great battery lifecon the nexus s. Super fast too
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App

I actually have a similar question. I myself own a Epic 4g Touch (GS2), but my girlfirend has a Nexus S for T-Mobile and she is running CM7. thing is i slapped that on for her when that was the most up to date thing, and you ICS upon us, i thought it was time i upgraded her phone. I wanted to put CyberGR-MOD using Matr1x 14.5CFS, but i'm going based off what i could read about it. It appears to be fast, tweaked, and customizable, just what i want. Only thing that i don't know is, is it Stable, and is the battery life good. Anyone have any thoughts on this ROM

Ok, didn't know this...
But in the Description the Author says "Fast Stable - And Battery Optimizied"
In 3h 40min it eated about 6 percent... It means theoretically that one Charge hold 61h ca. 2 1/2 days.... It is normal ?

you could try flashing the new tweaked kernel 3, see if it helps, but all sense 4 roms I tried untill now had disappointing battery life, It does get better after a few days of usage but still not great

and where can i find the tweaked Kernel 3 ?

using nik rom for 2 days , and i can confirm that it's battery killer...but all the things are working very well, only bugg i found was a camre zoom, when i do that , camera is force closing ,and i can't turn it on , unless i reboot the phone..

I'am thinking about to flash back to Stock ROM ....
Cause 1 day for a full batterey is very bad, with the original ROM i easily made 2-3 days

Ur concept is fairly false.
Battery life span depends on the usage or screen on. I can use my phone for a 3 hours from 100% to 20% in the span of half a day, a full day or even drag to 2 days. Damn if I leave it alone I can even drag it to 3 or 4 days.

Is something wrong with my battery?

I used to get about 24hours on my international version S4 running ICS while running a 3G connection,and a good amount of screen usage.
Ever since the JB update(i updated within 2 days of its release), battery life dropped to 9 hours max, and it has been incredibly difficult to live it.
I switched to TrickDroid 9.1 hoping for better battery life. I then turned off Google Now permanently but i am still not getting more than 9 hours of battery life.
Has my battery been spoilt completely? Has its life reduced because ive been running jelllybean for so long now ? Is there anything i can do to fix this ? Or has this got something to do with Sense 4+ ?

I got this phone (S3) with Jb already installed in it, so dont know the difference in battery timings with ICS or JB. But one thing is sure the battery life of this phone (seems with Jb, coz i read the same thing on some other forums as well) is quite poor. I also get less time on battery. Though i have auto sync on for some accounts like gmail, but still battery time shd not be that poor. Hopefully it will be resolved in some next updates. :S
Also i m facing sound issue (posted in other thread in this forum with Jb). Dont know whether this sound issue is only with few handsets or with all One S (having Jb).

What might be a solution for you both is installing a custom kernel
I'm running dark jelly cm10.1 rom in combination with bubba kernel v2.7, and with the right settings I get awesome battery life.
I can really reccomend switching to aosp rom like dark jelly in combo with this kernel.
Or check out xda forums for sense kernels to combine with trickdroid rom, like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851841
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

The kernel you listed is for 4.0.4 based ROMs.
Anyway, i already have the kernel for TrickDroid.
I'll switch to a non-sense ROM and see if things get better.

You could actually read the thread of the Rom, where in the second post says this:

The Display Panel has some limit on the frame rate and hence there is visible flickering on the UI.
Bluetooth performance is slow when WiFi is turned on.
Few random crashes (?)

So yeah, there are bugs, but the driver is ready por daily usage as said by various forums members in the post of the rom (Dhiru's Cyangenmod 10.1 Alpha 5)

I'm a noob too, but I tried for one year Dhiru' roms, so I can tell you this rom is awesome, the only problem is the battery life but i think they will solve this problem soon

A5 wasn't supposed to be a daily driver yet.. Just in case you happily charging your A4/A5 at over 50 degrees, change to a external battery charger or risk shortening your battery's life at a fast rate. For Li-ion batts, max charging temp is 45 degrees, discharge temp shouldn't be over 60..
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_at_high_and_low_temperatures

Thanks!

If you don't mess up while flashing and do a clean flash, i think it is pretty good as a daily driver.
For me battery last for a day. Though there are some bugs they don't bother much in mundane tasks. I was on Frankestein mod earlier and changed to A5. Not much of difference in laying games and all.
BUT If u are really looking for a fully stable rom, wait...

I was on 4.1.2 A4, then i upgraded to 4.2.2 A5, and i have less problems (some videos on youtube not working, now all of them work ). Is it working with any issue? No, 2 times rebooted without any reason, but for me is not a problem. And the battery life is short, but for me it has never been more than 8-12 hours. So u decide, but i read that alpha 6 is about to come (even i read about a beta??).

backlight!!!
I'm having the backlight issue on cm10.1 a5. Is there any way to fix it?

4.2.2 A6
It work well. The main problem is battery drain.

i have this problems on A6: battery drain; can't fully charge the phone (when i remove the charger, battery return to 94%), and when i take a video at 720p there is big lag on the screen and the gallery crash...

Hey can any one tell , problems with battery.... now I'm running android 4.1.2 in Xgamerz rom. I guess it's quite stable....
