Does 2.2 provide better battery life than a 2.1 rom + UV kernel?
Better question...for the guys who've had the 2.1 roms + undervolted kernels and are now on 2.2...which was better? I really want to know about just battery life but the more you provide the better.
Sorry if this has been posted up, I didnt really search so I expect and welcome the flaming. I will be searching after I post this though and if I can gather enough info that helps me out, I'll beg for this thread to be deleted.
Honstley, stock 2.2 gave me slightly less battery life than epic experience 2.1 with pheonix kernel and more than stock 2.1 but I'm currently running midnight and have run every bonsai rom as well and the battery life on these are amazing, I get about 14 hours on a charge and that is litening to music for 8 hours straight while I'm at work. I can't tell you aout the other dk28 roms since I've only ran bonsai and midnight but they give me great battery life and I don't think I could stand to go back to 2.1 now

Thank you thank you I knew as soon as I went back to 2.1 someone would respond >.< but its all good. 8 hours straight of music is what I like to read because thats very close to what I pull in. 2.2 has some great UI changes over 2.1 and on Bonsai I got about 14 hours on a charge as well under perfect conditions and but daily it was an avg at around 12 so I appreciate this post a lot. I've never ran 2.1 for long, as soon as I got this phone I just put on 2.2 so I never got to see what it had to offer so I guess I'll give it a go. I really just want the added battery life.
Going from noobnls 2.1 rom with different kernals, stock with noobnls kernal, now to bonsai, I say its pretty close to the same on some days 2.2 last forever that's if I'm not hands all over it playing with all the awesome 2.2 feutures which has been since last weekend once I get bored of the upgrade I say 2.2 bonsai is better

i get better battery life on dk28 than di18.
coolness. i've been back on 2.1 roms, and I haven't wanted to change back to dk28 because of battery life myself. but a lot of people are liking Bonsai, so that might be the next thing i try before official 2.2 drops.

yeah, Bonsai was really really damn good. That thing was on roids or something. I tried another 2.2 rom for today and it was just terrible...one thing I dont like is how they are all themed up >.< But I got that stock theme from that huge theme thread so its all good, but still....
The reason I like bonsai is its clean of no extra themes it apps its like the mighty rom of the epic and everything works amazing no bugs!!! I am very satisfied with it til next week when supposedly froyo official is coming

Battery life is all relative to what your are doing with your phone.
So many people like to tell everyone how they got XX hours on XXX Rom with "moderate use" or "heavy usage", etc..
It's all relative, moderate to some would be heavy to others, etc.

midNIGHT is based on Bonsai (IIRC), so I would expect them to be similar.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
The only thing I would add is that, for me, Bonsai does a wonderful job at minimizing battery use while the phone is idle (ie sleeping). If the screen is off it seems like it will last forever!
Best thing you could do is load up a Rom and try it out for a few days.
No one's phone usage is the same as yours so just try for yourself.

So far for me the best I have found ( 300+ texts 2+ hours phone calls lots of internet both on and off wifi/4g with screen on time (auto bright) averaging 7hrs a day) is CWM 3 DK28 EXT 4 viperrom 4.0.3 average 16 hours before low battery alert and Im pretty sure I have tried them all with the exception of cyanogenmod and for that I will wait till the team says its stable.
EDIT: for some reason I NEVER have a time without signal below or above 50% even if I check it 2 mins after unplug but that dosent seem to drain battery like it did on DI18 (average tw/os there was 30-40% same usage but only 8-9 hrs until phone off from dead battery)

I decided to try out MIUI coming from Myn's. I didn't think I would stick with MIUI for very long, but it has been about a month and I'm loving it -- for the most part.
I'm running 1.1.28 (which is now pretty outdated, but I haven't felt like updating to the latest weekly) with the Savage 1.6 CFS-HAVS-WiMax. But I am averaging 25+ hours on my standard battery.
I'm tempted to go back to a sense rom, but I can't even imagine getting anything less than 25 hours again. I'm considering Mik, Myns or possibly just CM6/7. Anything that is quick, themed nicely and has 4G.
Anybody getting stellar battery life like that on any other ROMs?
I'm on the same build as you and it's amazing. My advice- stick with it until MIUI releases a big update.
If I turn off my radios(which I do with MIUI also) I can get insane battery life with Ava's.

Have you thought about moving up to the latest? I don't think there is any ROM comparable to 25+ battery life so I'll probably never go back to Sense or CM.... but I do miss the ability to use 4G, FFC, and all that good stuff. Hopefully CM get's that fixed and then MIUI can implement it too. Any bugs bothering you with 1.1.28? I can't tell if it's just my phone or the ROM.
Actually there's a mod for ffc on miui1.28 and 1.24

I don't have any bugs with this build- no FCs, no reboots. Everything works the way it's supposed to. It is easily the best MIUI build I have tried. I haven't flashed any of the later ones but I read that some people are having issues with certain things so I'm going to hold off until they add some awesome new feature and have the bugs that people are complaining about worked out. Right now, it's just not worth my while to update. My 3G speeds are plenty fast (1.25-1.5Mbps down) so I don't really care about 4g. When it comes it comes. I've never used the ffc, even when I was on Sense.

does this break usb functionality? I flashed Savage and noticed it wouldn't work anymore. It does have good battery life though
Everytime I try MIUI, no matter which kernel I use, I get great battery life but I always have issues with the screen waking up when I press the power button.
With CM7 and the Savage-Zen CFS kernel I get the same battery life as MIUI, from morning until night with fairly heavy use and still around 40% left at bed time.
Might get an evo currently have vibrant...looking for rom with good battery and that is fast
Cm7 tiamat kernel or savages Zen

That's what everyone wants. Good battery life is not something that Android is known for. People are generally happy to get around 12 to 14 hours with average use. Fast... they're all fast or slow. What are you going to do wit it?
You're going to have get the Evo and see what yours does and then go from there, usage will vary. The worst battery life I've had is around eight hours and the best is around 24 hours. Others have reported battery lives of 30 hours and others overclocked their Evos.
Get it and see what yours does.
I came from a vibrant, the evo is much better. The only things I miss from the vibrant is the 16 gig internal storage and the screen. But I'm way happier with the evo. The screen is still nice, and it just works like its supposed to. I'm using fresh 4.1.1.0, stock kernel, fast and stable, average battery life
We're comin from a pure power source.
i use decks rom with sz kernel sbc with vipermods script and get amazin battery life but
the best rom with battery life ive used is myns warm 2.2 with netarchy sbc kernel and myns warm 2.2 rom is great good theme beuatiful lokking and everything workin

That was my previous set-up above, a very nice ROM.
I'm running Kings Alliance R6.2 ROM now, battery life is good and is very fast. The theme is awesome and so are the animations, that takes some away from battery life, but its a small price to pay. You can turn off animations if you want to.
i know i know some of you are going to ride my ass for this because there are plenty of other questions asked regarding this.
and if i was using froyo, i'd use ner kernel plus stock sense rom but now that 2.3.4 is out i was hoping to find a rom that would give me the best result on battery life.
i do like the idea of sense look alike roms but i havent found any kernels that would increase my batterylife.
right now i'm on synergy and boy this thing dies fast.
Evervolv has been the most efficient rom i've used but its not sense like
kindly share your thoughts on what you use and what you like and dont like about it. i'd be curious to hear it.

i tried Miui awhileback but too many bugs, no 4g screen went black/white, notification errors and freezes. i followed all their fix, it was good till it went back to the same issue. wiped, reflashed still the same thing.
so until they release another Miui, i think i'll stay away from them for now.
you seem like you've put some time in here, any other recommendations?

They have released other versions and the current is VERY stable, although still no 4G
The other ROMS I got great battery life on were the Froyo ROMs, before the GB ports came out. Koni III for sure with NetarchyToast SBC CFS Havs had incredible battery life, VaelPak is a good ROM , too
I wouldn't recommend MIUI if you're looking for decent battery life. I tried it about two months ago and it was just eating up my battery like crazy. Then when I went back to CM7, battery went back to being spectacular again.
cm7?

If you're getting all those force closes, then I can only think that you're not doing a full wipe as I outlined in my guide and/or you're not giving it a chance to settle on the first boot ups. I could be wrong, but that is usually the case.
If you just want an updated sense, I use Myn's warm z, its sense 2.0. I also run netarchy's latest w/sbc,cfs,havs,more. And recently I use the incredible voltage app to set the actual voltage range.

Hey had a quick q havent been around the evo threads in ages my gf inhereted my old evo and is currently running miui. Was wondering if theres a kernel to make the battery life inch out a bit more , or if theres a better rom out/kernel for the job.
Sidenote: It currently charges to 100,then once unplugged drops to 89 quickly then seems to inherit normal battery life again any ligt to shed on this or are we an anomoly?
Thanks ahead for the help and time invested!

The 100 to 90 thing is a very known issue. You need to flash an SBC kernel. Follow the instructions in the thread below and I promise you optimal battery life
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
Also you can try a trend I started, and underclock to 537/245MHz...undervolting works wonders as well.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
Hasn't this topic been touched upon ad nauseum?
Under-clocking/Under-volting works great on any of the Sense Roms.
I am running an over-clocked AOSP ROM (Gingerdeck 1.3 Stable w/ SavagedZEn) and I have great battery life. I make it through the day and then some with moderate to heavy use.

I only underclock and undervolt in my aosp roms, as its all I run. I typically make it 2 anf a half days off the charger.

Gotcha. I only started playing with AOSP on my Evo recently. I did the UC/UV thing on all of the Sense ROMs I was running and would get almost 2 days with light use, a day and a half on moderate to heavy.

Right now I'm on hour 20 of my battery and still at 70% on GB Inc-Deck with 11/03 incredikernel. Granted its been light use but i did have a 30 minute phone call with the gf in there.
Also Stock+ had the best sense rom battery life ive seen.
Just make sure you can use SmartassV2/InteractiveX/Intellidemand with your kernel. helped me out a lot

The other day I went through 5 different roms including yours, that's not the 2 I went through on my transformer... I'm cooling down the flashaholism.
But you probably know by now that a good flash cycle is gonna kill about 10% of battery at a time. Try dropping your screen brightness down to 15% i did that and finally got it to be <50% of where my battery was going.
