Best kernel and rom for speed and battery life ? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, tell me to choose the best rom and kernel please.......I'm not expert for android phones.

LOL .............no one ?

It's hard to say which one exactly will be perfect for you. The best you can do is just swap roms around, try them for a few days and see which one suits your phone best. There are plenty of them. Check LeeDroid', Oxygen (based on Gingerbread).. there are some HD roms as well.

Try any of the stock roms with kernel support for OC, and see the different SetCPU modes. Also remove crappy startup widgets.

[Q] Which ROM should I use? What's the best ROM?

I want to try to determine what is the best rom 2.09 Froyo - based for HTC Desire.
In the last week I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've really liked 2 of these:
- Roufianos V6 (It's the one that I'm using at the moment)
- OpenDesire 3.0.4 (I know that the 3.0.5 is out but I haven't tried it yet)
Obviously there are many other excellent rom but I haven't got the time to try them, such as:
- Alex V1.1 official OTA cooked by Paul from MoDaCo (I've not tried it yet but I thing it is good)
- Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 --- I've tried it: in my opinion it's the best. Very fast, stable, no problem, no crashes. The chef always helps you and give you what you ask him! Fantastic! (link hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745447 )
- Pays-ROM
- Others....
Well, I don't know what is better.... can you help me choosing a ROM please?
If you thing that there are better ROMs instead of the ones that I've written, please tell me about them.
Thanks to all.

Can you link the Alex v1.1 on this thread I can't seem to find it and would love to try it

IMO this comes down to the "SENSE UI",
you wanna have SENSE and all the HTC bells and whistles? LeeDroid 1.8 or Neophyte NextSense 4.0
you don´t give a damn about SENSE (like me)? OpenDesire 3.0.5 is just AWESOME.
Both options are really good but it´s a question of personal preference I think.

I don't know if is necessary for me... I don't really like the launcher, I use Launcher Pro Plus and it works great! I also really like the Sense app, like contacts, music, app sharing, and apps like that... I really don't know what to do :S

has Leedroid gotten rid of the SD card bug now? i found a lot of bugs with 1.7 in fact i would go as far to say it was the worst rom i have tried (and i have flashed nearly all within the last 2 weeks.
i use neophyte nextsense aswell its v good. i haven't used a non-sense rom since the defrost one which was using the nexus froyo (back in june i think).
however from looking at the 'post your screenshots' thread in the themes and apps section i'm tempted to go back to non-sense as some of the roms and mods make it look really cool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665991&page=106
what does everyone think is the coolest / sexiest looking setup?
Neophyte 1.6. You will not go wrong. If you think those other roms are good, you will ejaculate in your pants with a neo Rom. I think that first neophyte Rom comes down to a fluke of nature. His latest Rom nextsense is good and I enjoy playing. But the occasional bug. Still better than anything else I believe.
I prefer modaco official version.
Neophyte 1.6 as said. You will not find a more stable or better ROM imo.
why don't you give a go on my rom....i saw you haven't mentioned it....
the latest r3.1 version is as stable a rom can be and i have 2 versions.....one if you want all the HTC apps and one with HTC Sense but without the apps, just launcher, widgets and main apps (people,dialer,mail, calendar)

My brother tried it and sad me that is a very fast and stable rom. The problem is that it's based on 2.06 relase... What are the differences between the 2.06 relasa and the 2.09 one (the official OTA rom) ?

i can help you learn it if you want....PM me if you do
believe me i tried a lot roms and not cause it's mine but cause it's true you will like it a lot...STABLE AND FAST....battery life is on the good side...i was on holidays last week for 7 days and i charged the phone just once (light use though, 10-15 calls, 20-30 pics daily and a couple sms) and in 7 day night i had to charge again...with medium-high use you can get 1.5 days if you charge properly....
BUT ANYTHING anyone says is not true until you try something...this is what i think....it may work on you and don't work on me who knows

What about the battery? How often do you have to charge the phone? In every rom I've tried the battery sucks!
as for the battery i think you can't compare it just right when you flash the rom....myself i do one full charging cycle and then rate a rom's battery life in order to get the full idea....
flash the rom, charge it till 100% (unplug before discharge) and then see how it does

hi lambrospower. I am just downloading your rom and will give it a try mate. Going back to your battery comment, this is a question that i have been thinking about for some time, but never got around to asking anyone, i hope you may know the answer for me? Since i have had my desire (3 months) the only way that i have ever charged it is with USB. Maybe once i have done a full charge with the 240v adaptor, the rest of the time it is plugged into my PC either charging or as a disk drive, my question is, will that make a difference to my overall battery performance? because i havent been charging it with the mains adaptor will my battery be "weaker" than a person that has always used the in-wall charger? I seem to get really bad battery life with most roms that i have tried (and believe me, i have tried a lot!!) yesterday i went out for a few hours, around 3 hours, battery was at 100% when i left, 3 hours later 55%!! now in my eyes that is a hell of a lot of decrease...... This was with NeYophyTeNexTSense rom (but i cant fault NeYo, he is a good chef, hats off to the lad, this is why i think its me thats either doing something wrong (settings) or it is in fact a battery problem??
Hi guys, I really like OpenDesire, but it's stock Google ROM (or based thereon) so it's got no FM Radio functionality. A question to all users of stock ROMs: how do you guys cope with the absence of an FM Radio knowing that hardware-wise your Desire supports it but the software does not have it? As for me personally, I've been tilting back and forth between OpenDesire-like ROMs and SenseUI-like ROMs, and it's still bugs me. On the one hand, I love the stock ROM for its cleanliness and overall looks (without Sense bells & whistles), but that I don't have the FM radio keeps bugging me like hell. Can anyone share their experiences?

[Q]Rom with smooth UI + good battery

I've tried 4 roms with no luck..the one i'm on has a drain problem (1% goes down every 5-10 minutes even when the phone is on sleep) so please suggest me a really good one because i'm fed up of downloading 300mb big roms lol, i'm used to CM7 with 80mb or so but CM7 here on desire HD isn't that good. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot

and which kernel would be better to flash with it?
best rom
After trying out different roms ,radio and kernel combinations for months i would say MIUI FRESHLY SQUEEZED EDITION, lordmod 7.5 cfs kernel with his uv script and the latest radio ie ....26.13.04.19m would be the least taxing combination on the battery and what to say its fast and smooth....try this combination you wont be disappointed.good luck.
Agree. MIUI is very light (80-90MB), is super smooth and has a lot of eye candy. If you don't like the iPhone-ish launcher, you can install whatever launcher you want. You can't go wrong.
I ended up with following combo: rcmix3D runny v2.2 rom, rcmix v7 kernel and killersloth's rcmix script
Just buy a better battery and use any rom you like most.

place where i live, i can't just go out and buy battery
People here tend to buy a new phone rather than just getting a new battery xD
There is no best rom for battery. IT all depends on how you use it. I could tell you that I get 3 days with xyz rom and abc kernel but when you try it, it drains really fast for you due to how different we run our phones. A search would have showed you this as it has been asked alot sense android was released and no matter what phone, rom, kernel....ect, it will all come down to how you use it. This is one of the prices we pay for running custom roms. Flashing till we find one that works for us and the way we use it.

Just Rooted & Booted lol My DHD

Any recommendations for a ROM ? there are so many out there dunno where to start I need good batterylife and CM7 based ROMs are a big NO NO...
Thanks in advanced
arhd 6.1.5
hi m8, using arhd 6.1.5 with no probs, battery life is a big ask as depends on what you are running during the day ie bluetooth, gps, wifi etc, as battery life is different for each user.

Thanks guys I will have a look at screen shots of both ROM's although battery life is a big issue for me so is stability and customization.
Try Galnet MIUI stable. They have an awesome performance and a great battery life (currently running at 1-4 mA in idle.)
If you don't like the iphone-ish UI, try another launcher like Launcher Pro.
I do what i want, because I can.
MIUI is based on CM7, iv'e played with a friends DHD who has CM7 installed its just too bland and stock... Sense is way superior IMO and the Sense camera is 100x better than the CM7 offering + iv'e seen screens of MIUI (looks like iOS lol) Definatly dont want that. BUT Thanks anyway dude.
Virtuous affinity is a fantastic Rom mate I was using the unity series but the guys that worked on this have excelled themselves ! So smooth lots of features its great! I love my phone all over again

I know that this isn't a ROM recommendation but iff you want good battery life checkout the accessories section of the forum and look at the evo 3d/sensation battery MOD
ATM I try the new SmartDroid Rom and I'm absolute happy with it. Battery life is great and it's very smooth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364835
Another useless post.....i remember answering Q's like this many times before as well. Why pppl do not use search?? (i hope a mod steps in here anyway )
There is no such thing called a perfect ROM. What suits my necessities best does not mean that it lives up to your expectation. The battery n stuffs like this are related to how one uses his/her phone, not on the ROM itself (well a little, maybe).
That being said, try one by one yrself n find out one that suits you based.
Too many threads like this. Its down to personal preference and these threads can start into flaming wars/ trolling. Thread closed.

Which kernel should i use for Sense?

Which kernel do you think is the best in terms of stability/performance (for daily use) in combination with the official Sense ROM?
Thanks !

bump!
i've been switching between droidzone's "#18" and snq's "111118", but they are around for a few months/years now. back then they were the best kernels for a sense rom (according to posts in forums). what's the situation with kernels now? are there more improved versions released or are these two still good in comparision? it's not that i'm not satisfied with either of them, it's just, if a new and improved one has been released for sense rom it's better to move forward, right? (if not moving forward by buying new device )) )
thx!!
as far as i know Droidzone has the most up to date kernels for sense and imo the best ones at that, and he's a good selection to choose from.

What is the best overall rom

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
There's no best "overall" ROM.
Some ROMs are excel in some areas, while others excel in other areas.
Your best bet is to..well..try them all.
2.3.x - CyanogenMod7
2.2.1 - WildPuzzleRom

absolutely right.you could only narrow down your search a bit by defining some true needs (like speed, size, theme chooser etc) and/or cons (e.g. max size, special requirements, ...) but in the end putting hands on some roms is the only way to go

If it was that easy which product / brand / software was the best for everyone we all would drive one type of car of the same brand, use the same computers, mobiles, underpants, watch only one TV show, listen to just one band and have one dictator ruling over our dull, boring and useless lifes
If all ROMs besides CyanogenMod, WildPuzzle and Oxygen were just worse noone would use them on a daily basis
Actually I was going to ask the same question!!

For battery I would recommend lewa rom. But it all depends on the use. There is no best rom. Its all personal preference.

Like saadislam already said: not easy to say - depends on too many different factors to give a straight answer. I'm very satisfied with LeWa regarding performance & battery but the latest port (based on Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable) is really fresh - there might still be some bugs. If you want something really stable to flash straight away with no hassle CM7 would be a good choice, too. It can easily be trimmed to remain battery-friendly.
From the performance side I'd definitely recommend to think about custom mtd partitions as the available memory of our little old Buzz is a true show stopper for space and performance (link in my sig).

Oxygen, oxygen, oxygen......... Pmsl its stripped down so its bound to be fast, i bet i can get any full working rom on here just as fast as your oxygen.

I don't know what games you're playing but please take in mind that the Wildfire is really limited: no GPU, not the fastest processor, limited in RAM,... so a smooth ROM with decent gaming performance - that's a hard task.

You shouldn't ask which is the best ROM, because that could offend devs.
After all, they've all put loads of hard work into making great ROMs for you.
If you want to try ICS, CM9 is for you.
If you want the fastest ROM there is, check out an AOSP ROM, like Oxygen or CM7. Most AOSP ROMs are on 2.3.x.
If you like Sense UI ROMs, check out RemPuzzle. Leaf r3, whilst no longer in development, is pretty fast as well.
If you like Sense UI on 2.1, check out...the stock 2.1 ROM

Guess you're right with that, too, but apart from that the question is just nonsense - like "What is the best Operating System - OSX, Ubuntu or Windows 7" - each of it has its pros and cons depending on what you gonna do with it (and how you configure it).
