[Q] Best Dinc ROM for (stable and battery life)

Hey guys, just wondering what the most stable (fewest bugs) ROM available right now is. I am also wanting to extentd my battery life. I have a rooted stock 2.2 SLCD Dinc. I know that some things work differently on the SLCD versions than on the AMOLED versions.
I have recently come from an eris and had a great support group on the eris xda section. Since the eris has been around a lot longer than the Dinc it was easy to tell what ROM's were widley used due the activity on that thread. It is not as easy in the Dinc threads because they are so even in numbers.
Thanks for any advice!

You will get a better response in the Q&A forum.

i love the true vanilla roms like ruby and CM but im not sure if you would consider them 100% stable and i know theres been problems with the SLCD screens

as far as stability.. the Virtuous rom is basically the stock rom with a few user friendly options to tweak things.

I have had the best experience with skyraider's roms, I like the CM6.1 RC's but always get better battery life with skyraider.

Try IncRom. Battery life is outstanding

Myn's Warm RLS 3 is the best I've ever used. It is pristine. 2 days of battery life, no FC's, awesome speed.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I am reading about all of them and realy wrestling with which one to try...

2.32.17 stock kernel. Seems to be really nice.
Special note though, the use of games will drain that sucker like a vampire victim.

Yeah I agree with you on that. I'm using Virtuous 3.1 which comes with the new htc kernel and it's blown my mind on battery life and charging times.

The cool thing about roms is the ability to backup and install brand new ones with no risk of really messing anything up. Try them all and find out which you like best. I try a new rom everyday practically... I'm on Myn's right now but I'm probably about to go back to rEVOlution... or Incdoes' Desire Z.... The choices...

Don't sweat over which one to go with, try them all and then decide for yourself. Once you try one or two you will become hooked and you'll be changing rom's on a daily basis and your girlfriend will be yelling at you because you're always messing with your phone....
...everyone has that problem, right?

HAHA, yes! I thought I was really the only one. I was like, baby, you're being stupid, no one else cares.... guess I was wrong. It used to be changing phones all the time, but once I got an incredible, I haven't had the desire to change hardware, just software...
Glad I'm not the only one, kinda makes me feel more like a man now.

gfs and rom flashing
man, same here....i think at 11pm no one is going to call me and i can finally flash the rom i've been waiting all day to flash, but boom! gf calls and im like damn. lol. then i spend another hour trying to make it look like how it was before i flashed, ex: download the apps (i still have learned how to use titanium backup to restore the apps), put icons in their places, login all the apps, setup emails, etc....and by the end of the week, new version of a different rom is out and i wanna flash that now.

My wife WANTS an incredible, but she HATES my phone. Shes always saying "Why cant you just PICK ONE and GO WITH IT. Im SO TIRED of your LOVE AFFAIR with your PHONE!"
Shes grown to tolerate it over the year. Kinda.
But back on topic, the ones i tried and liked so far have been
Sense: Uncommon Sense, Myn's Warm, and anything with hey its lou
AOSP: Cyanogen is great on battery, Ruby is nice and smooth, and I've liked the stuff from IncDoes.

To be honest, I don't think that the ROM affects your battery life that greatly. The kernel and what applications your running has a much greater effect. For example, I found that I got the best battery life with either an AOSP ROM, or a Sense ROM with Rosie removed (keeping all the other parts of Sense intact, just replacing Rosie with ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro). Also, LiveWallpapers destroyed my battery.
That said, stability is definitely affected by your ROM. SkyRaider seemed okay, but I had my phone wipe itself one morning, which someone else confirmed as being an issue. My personal best experience has been with Redemptive rEVOlution. Great theme, not much bloat, and nearly bugfree.

CM7 Battery Life?

I just root my phone last night and my phone is running at 33° and my battery is geting handed a new one.
Does anyone know if flashing a new.kernel or any tips to conserve my battery?
Any help would be awesome.

Well a new kernel COULD help your battery life, but you'd have to check the specs of the kernel, as some are for performance, others battery life, and ect. But be sure to see if its compatible, and if you find no data on it always make a backup before testing it!
Edit: In addition to a new kernel, turning off your mobile data [3G] when you're not using is always a big battery saver.

From my personal experience, flashing a different kernel like crack. Lol! but most do indeed improve battery life. I have 2-3 kernels in mind that you could use, how ever i use my wifi tether. So i had to go with a kernel that gives my battery life and doesn't affect my wifi, which the other kernels did effect my wifi.
So if you use your wifi tether, and still want to save on some battery life. Try this kernel.
[Netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-sbc-nohavs-suv-universal-singed]
If you don't use wifi tether, then go with these.
[sbc-bcnice-stable-v7]
[sbc-bcnice-stable-v8]
[Reminder Note]
It's really up to you if you want to use these, I'm not telling you to do it. Just offering some ideas to help you brain storm on things.. And yes I have flashed the bottom two kernels on cm7 rom, but my cm7 3g was pretty weak, and i do enjoy 4g at work, so i jumped to a different rom.
Got the links, but haven't posted enough to add links in my post yet.

Just saying, I would recommend staying with the CM7 kernel till a stable release since it's still a beta you never know what will happen!

Ummm....yeah. I flashed kernals to cm7 and lost my camera. Can't get it back either. Been trying everything.

Check spare parts and see if you have any partial wake issues

Awesome guys I will most definitely look into it. Because I love cm7 and do not want to get rid of it.
I should probably get back to work, I'll repost back in a few hours. Thanks again!!

Oh and I do have all of the little things down. I have taskpanel, oc widget at 245-576, disabling data, all of it. It just runs really hot and my phones almost dead lol. So hopefully a kernel fixes it.

CM7 is great for battery overall, and Savaged-Zen kernel makes it even better.
I'm averaging double the battery life from stock Sense.
See my sig for links.

Best rom with battery life

Hey everyone I just rooted my girlfriends phone and I was wondering. What is the best rom to have with great battery life? I tried a team nocturnal rom and cyanogenmod but they're not that good. And with cyanogenmod, I hear the phone vibrate during calls. It's a bit annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions?

This is best suited for the Questions and Answers section. This is Development and I can see how you thought this was the right place but it is not. This is for roms, mod, and developmental threads. Please post in the right section next time.
Now to your question please keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you as every evo is different. The best way to know is for you to try different rom and kernel combinations till you find what you are looking for.
Good luck

miui with tiamat or save zen. I never use 4g so I don't care that it's missing. I like sense a lot but miui looks/feels just as good if not better. it's a seriously great ROM! Fast, stable, easily customizable and themeable. And battery life is the best i've had since running myn 2.2. Try it out.

of course MIUI gets the best battery life.
nothing on it works, so your phone just sits there as a paper weight, and that hardly takes any battery to do.

depends on usage...
I sit most of the day without touching my phone. with synergy rls1 Id go 2-2 and a half days between charges if I was home and almost never touched my phone, but Id get 3-4 hours(if lucky) if I had to use it.
With CyanogenMod 7.1 Im seeing 13hours of life if I dont touch it, but Im getting more like 7 of use
if youd like more help PM me

HERE This has alot of great names behind it, have not came across anything yet, battery is very good though! Kernel is tweaked so you can overclock it if needed.

Thanks. I'll be checking this out in a little while.
Sorry I posted in the wrong section.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Finally someone with a similar experiance to mines. Im also using synergy and if im not using it the battery life is excellent. I have installed juice defender and also freedom 0.9 agreesive kernel. I use battery monitor widget to see what kind of drain im actually having. I check the history and using all of the above and if phone is just sitting on the table my avearge reading is 28mah.
If i start using apps and doing stuff on my phone though im lucky if i get 4 hours of use on it also i dont use 4g at all ever so thats not a factor. I just wish i knew why the drain is so high when using it. Ive also done hte battery recalibration so thats not the problem.

Decks can be pretty good and/or runs overclocked pretty well and i still push about 20 hours out of it.

I've never overclocked a phone though. Don't know how comfortable I'd feel about doing it, especially not knowing how to get the phone back to stock.

I have tried almost every rom for the evo and I look for stability, internal memory, battery life, and speed. For a gingerbread rom, I keep coming back to KingsROM Alliance SENSE 2.1+ 3.0 HybriD 3D " The BREED " with ChopSuey v9.1 kernel for good battery life. That is my daily rom. For Froyo rom, I use Koni ELITE Series III with Netarchy 4.3.2-havs-more-universal and I get amazing battery life.

[Q] Looking for a new ROM

Hello peoples, Im looking for new ROM. One that has great batt life, one that will always get sms and mms. Any suggestions? I like sense ROM's and all the goodies that come with them. Also one that I can add my own touch to.

Edit: By the way, nobody can tell you what ROM is the best. There are a plethora of ROMs out there. Half the fun of having a rooted phone is to get flash happy with various ROMs. You need to try out different ROM/kernel combinations and find which one has the features you want with the performance and battery sustainability you need. My setup works amazingly well for me. But I've seen people who have the exact same setup and have crap battery life, bugs in their system, or just don't like the UI. It's all user preference. Get flash happy until you find one that works best for you and your style.

for sure mikg 2.58 seneless. i use the no lock version. its legit. beast battery better than aosp and fast. using agressive freedom kernel. everything works.

The new FreshEvo 4.3.1 with the standard Freedom kernel has been giving my two Evo's over 12 hours with heavy usage. It runs smooth as "buddah"...
But it is a personal choice. Fresh is a Sense ROM, which may or may not be to your taste.

I run synergy with the carousel mod. has great battery life on my hardware and is the best when it comes to getting text/mms on time. I have tried almost every sense rom that has come out in the past 4 months and keep going back to synergy.

The Blazing Roms team working on FEARDEme and Hybrid really have something sweet going. Granted, they're still in late beta, but if you follow their thread and their site, they really have some great stuff.

I agree that they are great stuff, I used FEARmede for a while and would still be on it, i just couldnt go without my 4g. If 4g is not a big deal for you then by all means take some of team blazes roms for a ride. Make sure to read the features on all of them, they differ a little from each other.

Thank you all for the input and not telling me to search a sticky or that there is this or that for a "reason". You think I havent tried all sorts of ROMs/kernals? I cant tell you how many times I flashed a new ROM/kernal. I was hooked on flashing for a while, damn near had to go to rehab for that shyt. Yes, I know, every phone is different, but I just wanted some first hand advice from my fellow XDA'ers. I really apprecaite the feed back with the replies I got. So thank you all again. Time to get flash happy, woohooo!!!!

try the evo classic v0.0.3 by tommytomatoe one sweet Rom fast as a jackrabbit with a firecracker up his ass and I stay with about 225 RAM with my 7 homesreens full of widgets. and my battery lasts all day I can get 13 or so hrs of screen on time on my 3500 and about 6 or 7 on the stock battery and that's straight screen on almost the entire time cuz I never put my phone down. when I'm not on it all day my 3500 will go 12 plus hrs and be around 75% or so with moderate use but usually I overheat and bootloop b4 my battery dies from playing modern warfare 2 all damn day.

Unfortunately, the best answer you're going to get are based of the devices performance which is individual. Sure, there are over all battery performance roms..
Sounds like you may have a defective battery if that is all you're getting.
My suggestion, if you're stock, invest in a new battery. Or if nothing else, take your current battery to the a Sprint store and have them replace it.
I would honestly run a stock build to test the battery life. Fi03 is giving people 3-5 hours on screen time...

Ah, well then you are definitely not alone in regards to battery life. Some are seeing great life, and others, like you, are seeing abysmal life.
Before you go all the way back to GB, why not try the Fi03 leak?
