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

Best custom rom for battery management

I was wondering which rom out of the many available - is best in terms of battery life?? I didn't really want to start a whole new thread .. but i am looking for those here who have flashed most of the custom desire roms on XDA, I need a rom that manages battery better then most.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to have lots of answers. Unfortunately, each one, talking about one rom or the other will tell you that its rom is better that others.
I'm running a ROM developped by a single developper (Itanium 1.8 today) and the battery life is pretty good. Undervolt mod is included, several optimizations have been made for battery usage, but again, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen and OpenDesire (these are examples, not the only ROMs working fine I guess) are good at saving baterry life...
So I would say it's hard to tell, and the best advice would be for you to test several of these and find the one which best suits your needs... You might end with a ROM which might give you less battery life, but which would looks better for you and for your usage (Sense based, without Sense...).
Hope this makes sense.

thanks for the info bro I hope others will also post a comment. Although, as you said - opinions will dither, it will still be good to get an overall opinion from many XDA desire users.

Thanks for any help / links.

Do some more search and you questions will be answered.

As a quick overview: Each Android Version has its own name. Froyo, Gingerbread etc.The newest one for the Desire is GB.
Furthermore you might stick to a Sense-ROM as it is easy to use and similar to what you have with a lot of features/tweaks added. Personally, i really like and support the LeeDroid ROM's.
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633
or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195 (which i use)
Battery life is greatly depending on various factors such as your ROM, Kernel, Radio etc.
Personally, I experienced huge savings with an app called Juice Defender and SetCPU. Te first one gives you lots of possibilities when to sue Wifi, data etc. and the second one governs your CPU based on profiles you set i.e. when screen is off, when battery is <20% etc.
Check this out, read and search in this forum, listen and learn and you'll be fine

DHD sense roms vs. non-sense roms

hello ,
this thread is to find an answer for the question about which build is better for our DHD , i am talking here about the performance , not the appearance ...Due to our limited battery capacity ( 1230 mah) is sense builds better in performance and specially battery life than non-sense roms due to kernel issues ?

You just started one. Best way to find out is to flash and find out yourself. Not one user uses the phone like another, so performance and everything varies, and it is also based on an users taste.

The battery life is quite the same, i tested sense and non-sense roms. The only thing i recognized, is that without sense there is much more RAM available. So some apps and especially some services like tune-in player in the background dont close themselfes due to low free ram space. for me there is no way to use sense based roms.

Good question! I noticed that on GB my battery last less that one day on stock rom, but on very good GB w/sense rom I passed the day. I don't even tried a GB non sense. Now new JB roms are all almost beta and some of them don't make you 24 hours.. :silly: But on JellyTime (aokp), sometimes I can get rid of the day. I tested Blackout ICS and aospX and I can say that I can reach without any problem at least 48 hours of middle-use.
Good Flash

[Q] Longest Battery Life rom

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.
