I really don't think you are going to find a big difference between ROMS in the context of battery life, train it, turn off the radios when you are not using them, turn off the update stuff, that's it, you find out differently please let us know.

Try VaelPak. Ive been runnin 2.2 with the HTC #11 Kernal and been easily makin it through a full day. i do turn off data connection when im not using it but its been super fast and havent had battery issues at all

I am running a complete stock latest updates on one of my Evo's and get well over 2 full days of battery life....50 hr average with moderate use. I can put a fully themed launcher pro ontop and still get 48 hrs. Hard to beat the latest software and launcher pro combo for the look I want and excellent battery life.

You said you were looking for good battery life and something new/different. I was basically giving you another option to explore. I have to sets of pics below. First set is a evo completly latest stock using launcher pro. Second set is completly latest stock without. These are just complete factory stock...hard to beat that battery life. And with launcher pro or ADW you can just theme the UI and whala good battery life and something new. Has enough speed for me overall...has excellant battery life...has the look I want the way I want. Unless there is something you just have to have in a cooked ROM that is not stock...why mess with a good thing already? Just an opinion and yes my other EVO is not stock... LOL

Wow that's amazing!! Setcpu? Juice ddefender?

I can only speak for myself but I've fallen in love with the MIUI ROM.It's fast,different, and battery is excellent with CM 7.6 snap kernel.I'd recommend it.Just my 2 cents...

That is straight up stock. The only thing I do is turn off all Hepatic feedback as a personal preference. Other than that straight stock with launchder pro. My other EVO I have tried every combination of ROM and Kernel there is and have not been as satisfied with battery life as stock kernel. I like the Virus senseless and the new stock kernel...of course I throw Launcher pro on top...LOL!!! Not trying to sell launcher PRO by no means but the current version is still based on 2.1 code but he is as of now in the process of writing code from scratch for his next version. I think the price will go up...unless you are in now...just a thought on a new UI in the works...

Minu is a very fast rom.....unfortunately 4g don't work, neither does hdmi. Blue tooth and sms are sketchy at best. When thoes issues are fixed....it may be the best rom out there. Right now I use vaelpak because I'm in a 4g area a lot. It's a great rom.and he is extremely quick to respond.

I love Launcher Pro Plus as Well!! I've been using Myn' warm 2.2 and just installing launcher pro, But I think there still a bit of htc junk running in the background. Whats the cleanest rom out there to use with mininum background to use with launcher pro?

From the launcher pro website he says he his writing the new version from scratch which I take to mean no htc at all...a totally new UI.

Ya that was minimum usage as a test and I would say it passed. The 48 hour one was more of a normal average usage for me...and still 2 days is pretty impressive for stock.

I don't like launcher pro's Icons

Are there any roms or flashable zips that address...

Battery life?!? Sheesh! Its horrible. I haven rooted yet tho. I'm seeing all of these rc3 roms that seem promising but the phone functionality out of box seems to be working out for me right now w/exception of battery issue. I waiting for the most perfect roms to be perfect before I root. Plus a verizon employee told me that theyre rolling out the ota's. Im a new incredible owner and I wanna get to know this phone a lil bit before I feel like I wanna root. I could just possibly wait til 2.2 has root. But golly gee, the battery life is horrible! Worse than the eris I owned previously... But it did get better when I rooted that one.

I won't recommend anything but will say that I flashed kings #3 kernel and my battery life almost tripled.
Every user is different. Honestly I can go two days with one charge, and some. depends on the type of usage and how extreme. Personally I am rooted, and running the under volted stock hydra kernel, and it gave me an extra boost. I would suggest getting a higher mah battery

Make sure you check to see if your phone is sleeping when you push the power button or the screen turns off. By comparing awake time vs. sleep time, I figured out that one of my apps wasn't letting my Dinc sleep. Once I set that app to be auto-killed when my phone sleeps, my battery life increased big time.
And just how do I figure all that out? A far as which apps are sucking up battery. My phone seems to be asleep when I push the power button. Screen goes dark and nothing happens when I push any buttons except the power to make it come back on again.

I too am considering going to kings #3 kernel but would you happen to know where I can download the stock froyo kernel if I decide to roll back?
Thanks
You can get the stock kernel on hydras website. Google search for hydra kernels. I think its under support.

I found that but I am wondering what kernel version that stock kernel is as there were a few changes between leak and official.
I followed this post with SetCPU, and it dramatically changed my battery life for the better. I use kingxkernel #1 on SkyRaider 2.5.2 Sense.

[Q] Best ROM With Simple with Working 4G and And Great battery for GF.

hey guys i just rooted my GF phone and wanted to see what good rom you guys recommend for my GF use all she cares about having working 4G and good battery cause stock battery sucks...and simple no bells and wishtles maybe like wifi tethering and thats about it...PLEASE HELP there are so many ROM to chose from!!
Try ricsim's turbo stock great battery life fast and bugless and looks completely stock
Sent from my EVO at the edge of Hell
I am going to have to take a different opinion on this. I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. Myn has done some extensive work throughout the rom to help with battery life. For the excellent battery life that everyone speaks of, flashing a kernel may be necessary, but that is up to you. The biggest selling point for Myn's rom is the support in the thread for his rom. You can almost always ask something and your guaranteed an answer 5 minutes later.
Now do they both come with 4g enabeld ad wifi tethering app and maybe flashing a kernel is risky I want a rom that's all in one...radios....kernels yo know the whole plate...and thank for he relplies keep it comming
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Myn has all features working 4g,3g, tethering, you name it. And the stock htc kernel is what he packages in his roms, but the latest haven't been bad at all. But I just prefer to get 26 hours of use on one charge. So it depends on how much she wants out of her battery.

Well, currently I am running:
-Myn's warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4 which is the newest release.
-On top of that I flashed the Ziggy Beta 12/14 CFS Kernel.
Personally, I would just get her onto the rom,and have her try out the rom just as is and see how she comes out with batter life. From experience I can tell you the battery you get will reflect on the way your settings are on the phone itself. Like i said earlier, have her test out this kernel thats already in the rom and see how she comes out. Kernels are like women, you have to try out a few before you can find the one that works the best for you.

Nope, pretty solid rom.
Myn's hands down right now, for the best looking (Damn it's pretty), best FULLY functioning, best battery rom, IMO anyway.
HTC should have hired MYN for the overall appearance and UI experience, instead of the crap they tossed together with Sprint.
Another vote for Myn 2.2!!! Best ROM I have ever used.
I gotta agree, I'm using twopointtwo RLS4 and I get 20hours out of my phone with average usage and 10hours with heavy usage.
Without a doubt, Myns is the way to go. I don't think ill ever use anything other than myns( for my daily driver, still like to check others out). Every release is rock solid. Delay no further. And btw, the kernel it comes with, HTC 17, gives my phone the best battery life. I've tried all if ziggys and most of nets. They all ran great, fast, and smooth for me, but the stock did the best overall.

Epic New Rooter, Few Questions

First things first, i'm not new to rooting I have an Evo 4G and love it, my wife has
an Epic and is having a lot of issues with battery life.
She's not an advanced user but definitely enjoys a lot of the features her phone does have to offer (Facebook sync and custom ringtones to be specific).
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good stable ROM for me to install to her phone and verify that it can be done after using this rooting method...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Thanks in advance.
Do you want to stick with 2.1, or do you want to go up to unofficial 2.2?
For 2.1, I would suggest Syndicate ROM. For 2.2, if you don't want to mess with the ext4 conversion, I would suggest Bonsai4All 1.1.4.
Sticking with 2.1 and Syndicate...
Anything extra I should know before rooting?
If you're going syndicate it will be perfect. Smooth and extremely stable. I was loving it but I had to be nosey and try the unoffcial 2.2 and am each day getting closer to 2.1. Having insane texting issues with the dk28 modem.

Make sure you get an overclocker to go with syndicates xtreme kernel....
Overclock widget is nice and free, but as far as syndicate goes, I've had much better luck with the paid app setCPU. Plus its more flexible and you can set up the right over/under clocking conditions so she'll never have to worry about it, while providing her better battery life and performance

I'm all for going the tweak method since my wife has a similar issue. But for 20 bucks you can get a 3500mAh battery on ebay from china and avoid the blame when her Facebook wont sync or someother unrelated issue. I have been down this road. I put my wife on midNIGHT 2.9 and it gives a pretty good jump in battery life...but had to suffer the wrath when the contacts didn't sync the same. So trust me if your wife isn't into this stuff...take the easy route. I did...put her back to stock and now she can't blame you for Android issues...haha.

CM7 vs MIUI?

I just want to know which deals with battery life better. Im on cm7.0.3.1 and even with an extended 3500mah battery I get like 1 full day on moderate use. Is their a significant different in battery life between them?
I can easily get a day+ on the stock battery on CM7...MIUI apparently has "great" battery life, but from what I hear, you'd average the same amount of battery life with your usage type.
Alright. Thanks.

No problem, but always feel free to try it; you may break even or get slightly better.
Me using stock kernel on cm 7 with stock heavy use get about 9 hours of use extended get about 13 hrs . Plus I like cm7 its more American lol miui is fun and has nice features wish cm7 would put some of the things from it in there stuff. Also cm7 doesn't connect to Chinese servers to use apps lol .
Love firewall in miui and call blocker and the lock screen . Hoping for cm7 to get better camera and video like the stock sense roms and one stable permanent build so folks can theme the yell outta it great battery life YouTube comes in ultra clear on hq.
I wanted to like MIUI but it was lagzilla. Especially the settings menus.

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

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.
