From my experience I would use Cyanogen Mod, less bloatware apps installed ect. Up to you though

Agreed. I'm on 10.1 on my One S and everything is running smoothly. That's always the most important factor for me.

I'd like to use CM but I found the camera somewhat lacking compared to the ones on Sense-based ROMs. But it's been a while since I last flashed a non-Sense ROM, so video recording issue has probably been fixed.

I would avoid CM... it hasn't been "stable" since CM 10.0.
Maximus 10 is the most stable rom i have ever used and i will stick with it

I used Cyanogen for a long long time. It would positively SIP at the battery. I don't know if it was luck or skill, but on a day when I would barely use it, I'd still be at 96% at midday.
If I used it at all, of course it would use a lot more. But there were few few days when I didn't still have at least 55% left at bedtime.
Maximus 10 for me, stable, fast, and has BlinkFeed and Sense 5 :good:
same...

I have tried both... I don't see difference to battery life....
In my experience Maximus is way more stable than cm. No spontaneous reboots and such
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
well on my opinion maximas rom is more stable and fast at this point. cm 10.2 has a few lags and reboots. but cm 10.1 is good. you can try that too.:good::good:
Maximus10 is really optimised for the One S compared to CM. Especially the camera app which is very good and was very bad on every CM release I've tried before.
Battery life is better, to my opinion, and you can directly use the integrated battery saving feature.

I didn't find much speed increase on virtually all sense ics roms, currently using closest to AOSP - virtuous. They are in fact all laggy to say the least but good enough to be a daily driver. However, battery life is definitely better. I also recommend juice defender app for improved battery.
Waiting for pure AOSP....

Yes, I agree a tad bit laggy, improved battery.... A little bit.
But the main improvements are with the UI and the new gapps. I find all the new interface tweaks are really useful, like multi user sign in directly from a pop up in the browser when you log in online, or being able to put a slick folder on the app launcher bar, or the new gmail app .....
So maybe not for a speed deamon... But go through the available tweaks.... Get the 2nd CPU online and try it, it works very nicely. Personally using ARHD and find it a very usable day to day ics ROM.

the first one and it's running great...
Day 1 report on ICS (Virtuous v1.3.0 ICS) - after 4 hrs, I'm only down to 92% on battery.
Previously I was running CM7.1/alpha10 (GB) and the battery-life was aweful (It was an alpha, I know, I accepted that). After 4 hrs on that ROM, tho, I would have been down to 75% typically.
My friend upgraded his OS to 4.0.3 and he's been reporting so bad battery life since the upgrade.
i was planning on rooting his phone and loading CM9. How is it handling?
Hi,
I also had a bad battery life with stock ICS. I didn't try CM9 a long time, but i guess it will be much better than stock. I doubled my battery life and my nexus feels more stable and faster.
..
CM9 v4.0.3 v1.1 with CM kernel seems to work great. Installed yesterday and pulled 20+ hours on a single charge before I decided to charge it before work. I am a moderate user, checking email, Facebook, browsing a bit online, and listening to Spotify when driving.
This version also seems to perform better with lack of lag on the app drawer. There are other ICS roms with more features at this point, but CM has always been a favorite for me. From what I understand on later versions there will be many of the same customization features as well.
..
Been using CM9 V1.0 for a week now and it just...works! Evenings of USB tethering in hotelrooms, lots of navigating with Google maps, lots of tinkering, etc. With deep idle enabled battery life is indeed good. (drops from 95 to 88% during a 7 hour sleep overnight) And it's stable too. Any reboots I've done were to flash further mods and backups...
Just use cm9, slap a kernel like matrix or glados on board. Boot up, install nstools. Enable deep idle and tweak as you like and you will have good battery life.
I use smartassv2 governed and sio scheduler

And it's working really good. Never got any problems with it. The v2 is coming soon ;-)
v2.1 is working really well. I still get screen flicker when opening up the browser - as if it is struggling to show a pure white screen and as mentioned above the music app is in development, along with other features.
As a daily driver it has been great and with respect to the battery life, when 'deep idle' is on, I don't notice much difference from CM7.
I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:
I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant
I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

Baked black bean is my favorite atm, Dark jelly isn't bad. Haven't tried the cm10 nightlies because they're inherently glitchy. Not a big fan of paranoid just because of it's set up. AOKP is pretty good but doesn't measure up with dark jelly and baked in my opinion.
Baked BlackBean is the best CM10 ROM out there. its super fast... great battery life and its a mixture of AOKP/AOSP. ParanoidAndroid/ Dark Jelly are also pretty good.

Same here, seems to be a problem with my wireless N networks. My wireless G network works fine, at full speed. My wireless N seems to be stuck at 1mbps, and lags horribly with anything I try to use on it. Same with 2 wireless access points, both from different brands. Tried full wiping phone, flashing ROM over the same ROM, changing baseband: nothing works.

Unfortunately no.
I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.
Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!
