[Q] Which custom rom has the lowest battery drain? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Thread title says everything. Want to know whether a sense based or an asop rom has the lower battery drain. Maybe somebody who has already had both types of roms on his DHD could post here some informations.
Thanks in advance.

Usually an asop one uses less battery but its easy enough to have a sence based ROM and flash an undervolted and overclocked kernel to save battery.

Yeah but uv/ov kernels are still not available for 1.72 based roms.

They are all the same mate.

Display takes proportionally the most out of your battery, no ROM can quite compensate for this.

Battery Life on Neophyte's Rom

Which one has better life?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
neophytes rom compared to what ?, its definitely better than the default rom. I found that neophytes rom gave me excellent battery life =D
compared to NexTSense? i think NexTSense have good battery life. Never tried the Neophyte's Neophyte yet.
Oh sorry heh heh. I was in a rush a wasn't very specific. I meant between his two rom's. Anyone feel any difference between his stock based one and his sense based one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I switched from the normal one to the battery save, and noticed a distinct improvement in battery life.
That said, there are so many contradictory comments on threads about overall performance of different ROMs, the only way to find out is to give it a go on your phone.
I guess it is fair to say that the battery save version should be better, but you may not need it....
Battery save Roms only run up to 800mhz though
Having tried both I feel that Neophyte 1.6 is the best Rom for battery.
Alright thanks everyone. I'll give then both a try.

What would be the best kernel for performence

Hi what is the best kernel performence im not bothered about battery I just want the fastest one
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It depends on what kernel you want to use (sense kernel/Aosp etc.)
I suggest to read through the kernel threads in the desire android developent section.
For me coutt's sense kernel is working fast.
I need a sense kernel

Battery diffrence

Hello hello,
I've been wondering something for some days : with Cyano, my battery can stand for about 24h, but, when I've tried MIUI, it was standing for 48h easy.
How is it possible, what's the trick on MIUI and can I apply it on Cyano ?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Some earlier.versions of cyano have high battery drain. But it could be due to the kernel and what mhz its clocked at.
possible some apps syncing on cyanogen that caused higher drain.
Personally miui much nicer than cyanogen anyway ;P

I usually get about 24 hours on cyanogen. Very interesting what you're saying about getting 40+ hours on miui.

Ahaha, yeah, MIUI is a really great ROM, but I'm the kind of guy who likes stock stuff ^^
I'm looking for some fix, but nothing fancy :/

I get 48 hours easily with CM, which version are you using?
The nightly, build 150 for the moment, I update about 1 time every 10 build
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well, that's the thing... I'm using Alienmind's 1.5 CM, it's quite more optimized over any nightly... Try flashing a different radio, kernel, or just forget about nightlies(they often have battery drain problems) and go with a release candidate, or a specific CM flavor(alienmind, hydrogenmod, etc).
Or simply stick with MIUI itself!!!

Kernelssss

Hi what kernels best for battery? Any suggestions welcome!
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
Usually the one that comes packed with a ROM, so really depends what you are using tbh. If using CM7 then use the one that comes packed with that one, if using on of the Sense ROMS, ARHD or LeeDroid, I would recommend one of theirs. IMHO for the LeeDroid you shuold try and use the one with the BFS as it seemed to give better performance and when coupled with the Smartass Governator gave really god Battery life.
There is also a guide to enlarging your battery life on here somewhere. I will post it when i find it.

There ya go
i'm using Coredroid 8.1... and Lordmod's v2.1 cfs kernel...
very good battery life plus quick usb charger... it charge faster than the power supply one
Currently I have ADHD but it does drain pretty quick,I'm careful with WiFi etc and running services but still goes pretty quick,are various kernels compatible or are some specific?

Best battery saver ROMs

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.
Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

Thanks for the info; need to do abit of research into this kernel business as I've seen them mentioned alot and nodded in agreement (I have no idea!)
Click the link to guides in my signature. Read the kernel info thread. May help

I don't mind if anyone throws me a pm in regards to seeking more out of the Desire.
And rootSU, we could always do a combined guide on the Desire and how to get the best out of it, if you like

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)
