I was told on the guide that it works best with nohavs kernel but im using the 4.2.1 by netarchy cfs,yet it gets to 70% in an hour with light usage.
And im a pretty heavy user.
I know he posted the recommended kernels that work on the rom but I need to know what works best with the tweak for the optimal battery life and smooth and quick. Because the kernel im on now is not smooth nor quick. A bit laggy actually.
Please im in need of help,don't flame or just leave.
(I know this will be moved but i need your guys help)
What's your opinion?
I need assistance.
Thank you.

Hey bud, instead of posting about this in THREE different places stick to the Q&A section OR the Myn rom post! Im not going to be a total @$$ hole about this, but wait for it someone will be. It gets obnoxious reading your exact same post in three places. Thanks and have a nice day.

You should really utilize XDA's search feature more! Instead of using the battery tweak, you should use something a little simpler for battery savings like setCPU or CPU tuner, both of which can be found on the market. Just having a profile set for screen off makes a huge difference, assuming you allow your screen to sleep. In the end, a little bit of reading and personal experimentation goes a long way in becoming more competant and knowledgeable about your device.
I just got my droid incredible and I rooted it as soon as I got it. I've tried almost every rom in the "official rom" thread. I can't seem to figure out which one is the best for battery life. Right now I'm on myns 5.2. Any insight would help.

I was using miui au 1.1.7 and had great battery life. Miui isn't for everyone though. I just installed the latest cm7 gb build so well see

It really depends on the kernel that is flashed with the ROM as well, in general ROM's that are AOSP tend to have better battery life because all the Sense stuff that syncs constantly can drain your battery, but alot of devs have found ways around this by getting rid of the extra Sense junk.
But IMO switching kernels gives the biggest difference
Happy Flashing
it trully is in the kernal and somewhat dependant on the rom.. like dude said.. warm is a badass rom.. i think i'm still using warm rls4, forget which kernal.. but find a decent one and use a cpu tool to setup profiles to control your kernals speed and usage.. with the right settings you can squeez some juice out...
lou's senseless rom with his #4 kernel is awesome
Skyraider 3.5 for sense or I'm having great battery life with cm7 w/ stock launcher (doubt it makes a difference on battery life but might)

Like others have said, it's mostly about what kernel you are using. Some kernels reduce the amount of voltage the CPU uses to save battery as well as underclocking it when its not in use to save even more battery. I've used Skyraider 3.5 with Incredikernel and it has given me the best battery life, and I've used quite a few different kernels.
If you choose an AOSP ROM (like cyanogenmod) try invisiblek's kernel.
Best battery life to date is my current setup, Senseless Redemptive Revolution with Lou's #6. I can get 24-26 hours with normal usage not watching what I do. Recently, I reinstalled Juice Defender, and as I have always been a skeptic of it, if it is set up correctly, I am seeing a very noticeable increase in battery with no real side effects. FYI.
For Me, it was Cyanogen 6.1 stable and invisbilek's #28 for the kernel, but play around with it and see what works best for you, now that you are rooted, you can add any rom and kernel that you want and find out what works best for you, rembember, everyone's phone and usage are different, what works for me may not be best for you.
Thread closed.
Reason: The reason we close what's referred to as "Best ROM Threads" is because the vast majority of the type end up a nasty flame fest. The reasons should be obvious. It's really a matter of opinion, and then you get the fanboys of certain devs chiming in, and well, you get it. You did nothing wrong (besides posting in the wrong sub-forum). My advice is try a few and make that choice yourself. It's easy to find the most popular ATM, because they stay on page 1 of the dev sub. That doesn't necessarily make it the best, however. Give some a shot and see what's best for you. Good luck.

Alrighty so I have a friend coming over this weekend with her EVO 4G and I will be doing some level of hacking to it. I want to give her options of ROMS & kernels so can I get some feedback on the best custom Sense ROMS as well as ASOP ROMS plus what the best kernel options are.
As far as I know she has a stock battery so whatever kernel that will give her the best battery life/performance would be great
I might as well say it because this is the reply you're going to get. You should just read threads and try them out until you find one you like. There is no best because many of them are designed to do different things. Only you can choose which functions are most important to you and which Rom matches those functions.
Tough question to ask because it weighs heavily on user preference. My personal favorite rom is Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 using SBC trickel charge kernel. I get fantastic battery life and the rom is as smooth as butter. This is a Sense based rom without all the bloatware that Sprint puts on it. As far as AOSP roms alot of people like CM6 or the CM7 nightlies. I have only tried CM6 and its pretty sexy also but I prefer Myns rom a bit more. Check out Myn and CM6 or CM7 those should be good starting points.
we're just trying to keep the development section clear. i understand this is the most popular section and it's where all the cool and exciting things happen.. but there is an appropriate section for questions and answers, it's called Q&A. there's more people in there willing to help you answer any all questions you have.
that said, don't be surprised is mods come along and move this to Q&A (already would be if I was a mod). so please, I mean this will respect, post in the appropriate sections from now on.

I've been eyeing Myn's ROM for my wife's DInc too but she's not as open to me hacking her phone all the time so I may consider that one.
I put a modified version of CM based on Froyo onto my brother-in-law's Eris which worked pretty well too despite that phones lack of horsepower.
Thanks for the recs
well you know, maybe if you read the rules?

honestly, you're lucky I came along first.. most people would have flamed you to hell and back. we just like to keep order here to keep a decent noise/information ratio. development threads in development section and question threads in q&a section. it's been this way for me ever since i've joined
As was stated "this lies alot on how each person uses their phone". Me personally prefer the Mikfroyo 4.5 with a Netarchy kernal. You can see what I am using in my signature. Rom is very quick and smooth and battery life is great for me.

Agreed on the noise/information ratio. Instead of most of the responses being the typical troll response, they could've either just ignored the thread or sent a request to a mod to have it moved.
But whatever...I do appreciate any responses in general (except the "well maybe you shouldn't root it then" response)

The problem with the evo's is that they are all soo differently and react so much differently to every rom and kernel respectively. For my MIkfroyo and netarchy's gave me great performance and battery life. the same set up on my friends phone halved his battery life. my top choices are Mik, EVIO, and King's.. they get along best with my phone... as for kernel that is high phone specific, do you want SBC, etc..

Mikfroyo and Netarchy rock my EVO world.
I think I will start a new thread in this sub-forum asking everyone which apps they can't live without.

Well yea I'm aware of that b/c I experienced something similar with the DInc b/c some kernels didn't work as well as others (but did for others.) I know that I *may* have to try different kernels (which I know is easy to change) but with ROMs getting different recommendations does help weed out those that are either junk or dead roms...and ultimately makes my choices easier.
i would download several of the newer roms and try them all my fav right nnow is CM7-GX4 is a nice gingerbread rom but it just depends on your personal taste and needs
also depends on if you want sense or AOSP
I would just show a few screen shots and of MikFroyo, Myn, Ava, EViO, and maybe Koni's Elite. All of those are stable and similar in performance if she's not a really heavy user. I personlly have had the best results/experience with Mik and EViO. For Kernels, try a couple and see which works with her phone (more havs, les havs, no havs, or whatever). I would start with net's latest stable CFS, and go from there if it doesn't play well with her phone.
If she lives in a 4g area or uses HDMI, I would stay away from any AOSP ROMs, since none of them have it either, other than the CM wimax beta. IMO, it's a bad idea to put a beta ROM like that on someones phone if they don't know how to put it there themselves so they can remove it if need be.

Ive been doing some research into her options and since 4G is not possible at the moment with CM6, it is officially off the table...kinda bummed about that one
EViO is looking pretty promising as one option however I think Myn's might egg it out simply because of how clean the UI mods are. MikFroyo could be good but I'm not a fan of how just about everything has a gradient on it (that stuff is fugly imho.)
MIUI is looking pretty solid too but since it is a bit of change from the normal flow of Android, I'll have to let her decide based on the videos & then try installing it if she wants to really see it.
If you don't want all the extra stuff, you can try the earlier versions of Mik. 4.2 has a lot of the speed, but none of the theming. It looks a lot more stock.
Also, you can try AvaZ3. It uses a Mik base and is somewhat themed, but still looks clean, can't remember if it has a lot of the gradients you were talking about.
Azrael is also very stable and fast, but I don't think he's going to be updating it anymore. I guess that doesn't matter if she's not going to be changing ROMs often.
EViO is an excellent choice though, when I was on it, it was as fast or faster than most other ROMs while being underclocked. I was on v1.77 and had awesome battery life on the built in kernel. I think with the new version, in order to take advantage of all the features, you need to use Ziggy's latest kernel. I would use the CFS since BFS may or may not play nice with her phone. Also, if you flash EViO, make sure to flash the restore default buttons zip attached to the bottom of the first post or her search button won't work.
For Sense, I really like Calk's EViO 2 series. it is very clean not too many mods and kinks that could break stuff and also has a undervolt script that keeps the battery in check, he is a top Dev.
As for AOSP I dont use CM7 yet as it is still experimental but i recommend either CM6 and especially MIUI coupled with the new SavagedZen kernel, fast, smooth and stable.
Here's a question...besides CM6, what other ROMS have 4G compatibility issues?
Granted I know some phones may be react differently but do certain ROMs play nicer with certain kernels then others?
Give Myn Warm a try
I have been using Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 for several weeks and find that it is fantastic. Stable, smooth, and sexy.
i have been trying to find which is the best ROM for my evo with good battery, 4g, and fast(responsive). i obviously also want it to look good. whats everyone got?
Well just to let you know A**holes are gonna tell u wrong place and all that jazz.
But all roms to my knowledge have 4g except MIUI and ports from other devices.
Battery life from my experience varies from phone to phone, kernels play into battery life as well but again they vary from phone to phone. As for speed i think cm 6.1.2 is fast than cm7 thats just my opinion Salvage mod is great on everything for me but as for sense roms mikfroyo is very smooth and fast
i personally love salvage mod for aosp and Eternal Prophecy for Sense
eternal prophecy updates quickly and often so very few bugs and is optimized whenever something new is released. the kernel does play a huge part but for the most part i only worry about the kernel for aosp, as EP comes with 4.3.4 from netarchy. after that its changing your sync settings, display, if you decide to use setcpu(i do).
also my original evo battery has 1.5x the life of my replacement evo battery(i have both, my first evo broke and they only wanted the phone and let me keep everything else), hell if i can understand why
I say cm 7 amazing battery life, two hours off the charger and I'm still at 97% or so, its amazing try it out, but the GPS didn't want to work, there is a fix just download msl reader while on sense rom get the code dial ##gprsclrx# enter the code, let it reboot and flash to cm it seems to be working now for me

Sense base, I would have to run with Caulkin 1.8 with a kernal flashed on top. Works wonders for my evo
Cm 6.1.2 with SZ kernel. Battery is amazing. Very fast. And everyrhing works without issue. Use it about 3 weeks. And its the best rom for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I've had the best battery life with Fresh 3.5.0.1
As far as how fast the rom is, CM7. But the battery isn't as great, and the 4G reception seems about %20 worse than with a Sense rom. MIUI has good features (the music player with lyrics is my favorite) but to me it resembles too much like iOS and too little like Android (and I bought Android for a reason yaknow)
And like others have said, it does differentiate with each unique device
General consensus is usually:
Fastest ROM: CM7
Best Battery life: Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo
must be tough to do some research on your own and YES im that asshole
WRONG FREAKING SECTION ! isi t really that dam tough to post a [Q] in the Q&A or even the general section .. hell 3 or 4 of these type questions pop up weekly in the general section .
nm
10char
For speed: most ppl say CM7, but CM 6.1.2 takes the cake.
For battery: Either Myn's Warm 2.2 or the latest build of MIUI.
(i haven't tested Myn's excessively, but it seems great)
The only caveat is that MIUI does not have 4g, but is updated weekly and plans to incorporate it are underway, being that the devs just switched to a Gingerbread base, and the ROM has been varying from build to build. I use MIUI as a daily driver, because the skin is better looking and more functional than sense, and as fast as an AOSP ROM.

Myn's is the only ROM I get outstanding battery life with (my hardware must suck). And if I use any other Kernel's than stock, battery life is horrendous.
I thought this was a ROM with the best battery whats going on here? I'm confused..
I'm wondering what the best ROM for battery life and performance is today?
There's a couple other threads, but they're all from before JB got really popular.
I'm on JB right now, but I'd be happy to switch to something else for better battery life (it's really poor right now) and that's not so... broken.
Advice please? and if there's a good JB ROM for this, enlighten me.
Thanks.

This has been covered already in other threads, but both Evervolv's and CM10 by Pons are extremely stable versions of JB. As far as battery life goes, that'll depend greatly on your usage, but battery life on CM10 is only slightly worse than CM7 was for me, which was 1000x better than stock sense.
TLDR: Try new roms to see what works for you.
As above, this information has been posted before and people's suggestions for ROM's are all in this thread here. Best ROM threads aren't allowed but that thread was allowed to remain for people to share their opinions so please use that as all further best ROM threads will get closed.
Thanks
