I'm getting my O2 branded diamond from UK this week so my question is:
Which cooked rom and radio rom you would recommend for optimal performance and battery life. Thanks

For the radio, i would look into this poll: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
And about the rom, i will advice you to try them yourself.. A place to start could be this benchmark test: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406640
Happy flashing & next time, please use the search.
This question is almost a daily thread on this forum
As Sayed its a daily question and please read radio thread and for waht the best rom Just READ !!
a tip of mine is just look wich roms have the most reply's so you will know whats the most used ROM !! test em and you will get one u like
OR Cook your own
Can't go wrong with Duttys ROMs, although Panoshas Roms are good too.
As for Radio, i tested a few. 08 seems the best for me. The GPS lag isn't as bad with that radio. It was only bout 1 second behind.
Battery Life?
Thank you for your replies guys, I know should have searched but I'm too excited about finally getting it and a bit nervous about battery life.
How long does it last for you on average use?
I'm used to having 3g and beams turned off cause i don't use them.
Can one get 2-3 days of battery life with all the tweaks?
Thanks a lot!
If you will be using 3G, then not even a day! May be 9 hours with moderate use with the 900mAh battery. I wrote a little article to improve the battery life of the Diamond. You may visit it

I have NRG Rom at the moment and although extremly pretty and functional, NRG takes a lot of NRG my battery dies so quick, any suggestions for decent battery life?
Thanks
Graham
I've used NRG Genesis and it's the best battery I've had, consider changing your Radio.
My radio is currently 4.46.25.24
Is that a bad one?
Not sure, might be better to discuss in the quality of radios in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939.
I've had some experience of ROMs with bad battery life, but not with that one.

Hi,
On my HTC P3300 i noticed a different radio can be a world of difference in battery life.
There was an older one, which was just stable enough, and my battery was standby for almost 1 full week!
I have the Touch Pro 2 now, and i'm wondering which radio is the minimum and most stable rom with best battery life? I flashed the latest radio here in the topic above, but it consumes reasonable.
Thanks!
Cheers,

All of your radio questions will be answered in the depths of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
The battery usage is dependent on which RILPHONE.DLL has been cooked into the ROM you are using. However, I digress, for all of that information is available at the above thread. Please post future radio questions there
Yeah everyone knows this topic, but it's 90 pages man, this takes ages to read all!
Just want to know someone that tested a lot of radios and knows the minimum required and most stable with less battery consumption.
On Artemis forum there was simply a poll and people voted for best radio or least consumption, and it was correctly, my battery lasted a week!
Basically you have to do your own tests as it depends on the ROM you are using in combination with the radio.
That will give you the results you are looking for, but you have to test several to get conclusions
Let us know your results please

I'd love to know your results as well. I recently flashed the Tmo 6.5, and the radio blows!! I have a helluva time hearing people, it always seems to be breaking up mid-call. I am considering flashing to the radio I had previously, but am not quite sure how well it will play with my current rom.
And yes, that radio rom thread has a million posts and is quite tedious to read.
i use dotcompt's deepshining rom with the radio 4.49.25.17 and i'm extremely impressed with my battery life...i've been up for about 12 hours now and during that 12 hours i've used my phone extensively...i text a lot and play music a lot too. My battery is showing a still solid 60%...not too shabby for a days use

I saw your signature that you are using Rom: Cell Pro V10.1,i think you probably also tried cell pro lite v9.5, isnt this you are looking for? stable and least consuming?
Hi,
I have a wish for this new year ! :
So, I am Desire user ... Everyday I'm looking about news in this forum, like some other... And near everyday, I'm flashing my Desire with new rom, pearhpas like some of forumers... to attempt to find that best rom !
... and an Idea comes to me :
Is it possible that when a new rom was published, developers let a screen shot of benchmark and battery drains graph for users to have a look rapidly about performance ??? like some devs do :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792123

quadrant results are one thing, real life performance is another, i can mount a loop and you'll have quadrant scores 2500+ doesn't mean it's the fastest rom.
battery drain. Depends on many factors besides rom. Factors are like what kernel do you use, what Radio do you use, what carrier you have, what apks do you use etc. It is not just as simple as is sounds. Real example: on my rom 90% of users are rating battery ussage way above average (some even say it's the best) while 10% claim battery drains.
A day is not enough to test a rom even for a hard core user / flasher. After flashing a rom builds some caches etc. so it may seem its slower and drains more power in the 1st 24hrs maybe 36.
Weheyyy! Hello to all you lovely helpers
I am very happily rooted, s-off partitioned etc etc and have lovely new Insertcoin ROM!!........but........have another question, I hope someone would be kind enough to answer please, which is:-
My phones battery seems to have become quite poor (was poorish anyway) but now a little worse and am thinking its because of all the lovely Insertoin bits on it. I am wondering, my battery version is 5.11.05.27, and thought if I updated it to the most recent version would there be an improvement??? Also, occasionally experiencing a few dropped calls.....
Any info at all very appreciated.
P.S. If I have incorrectly started a new thread, sorry but I did search and nothing else came up!!!
In my experience, no. Moving to a ROM like LeeDroid can make a massive difference. I personally love AcesMod for the full 'Sense HD' experience but the battery was bad and there were some FC's that I sufferred. Leedroid 3.3.3 doesn't give the full 'HD' experience but it's reliable and has exceptional battery life.

I have discarted your disclaimer and substituted it with my own: BravoS ROCKS, dudes!
Stable signal - means better battery life.
It can't hurt to change your radio to the most recent one to see if this will help out your battery life. I'm sure you already have but also look at your sync frequencies on things like email and weather as they can eat into your battery.
From what I've read, the sense based rom's will always eat a lot battery because there's so many processes going on in them all the time. For best battery life switch to an aosp rom.
If you want to flash the newest radio look here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464&highlight=radio
to get the newest one (5.17.05.23).
Then go here and get this...

which is a flash utility to use on your pc/laptop. Seems a lot of people use it to flash stuff onto their Desire (useful for flashing a new splash screen as well). I used it to flash my radio and all went smoothly.
If you need any more help just ask
I have been flashing roms on my phones since my very first android phone. Just going to get a dirt-cheap refurbished Xperia S, and I am planning to use this phone when I am in army for my conscription. (Yes, I know it's sad. )
So I heard that the standard Xperia S rom do not have the best battery life for a smartphone, so I would need my Xperia S to do the following:
1. I will be shutting off my phone during my training. Will only be using it at about night time (about an hour or 2 at the most.). But I may forget to turn it off. So I hope to have a good standby time.
2. Hopefully by switching on and off, I can last for about 2 weeks in a single charge (sounds like a hard task for a smartphone.)
3. I don't mind under-clocking and under-volting the phone to further stretch my battery life. But it still must be stable and generally smooth (gaming performance can be compromised.)
4. Obviously, with my cellular radio, WiFi, and all other stuff intact (don't mind if my camera is dropped to 720p though.)
So tl;dr, I need a good Xperia S rom/kernel that is able to last through my grueling schedule. Hope that I can obtain some useful advices. Thanks a lot. :laugh:
As per XDA rule, do not ask questions about which ROM is best or Best ROM for Battery life. Otherwise MODs will close such threads without any further delay.
And As ApriliaM3 mentioned also -
Read rather than post, that's my tip... There's no such thing as a best or smoothest ROM. Check the responses here but also check the OP of the different ROMs, decide on 2 or 3 and try them for yourself. It's certainly not something that you need to create a new thread to accomplish.

I am not asking for the best. I just need some roms that are targeted to have a better battery life than stock rom. Because there are so many roms, that I have no idea which one have battery life as their main objective.
