I have used both and loved both equally. But I want a cleaner and faster ROM, so which is preferable?
For me OD is faster.

thanks to the best opendesire
opendesire is fast and stable my friends. and the best rom on market thats what i think
Have used both and personally find DeFrost is my favourite but it's all subjective in my opinion. Whichever you choose you're going to get a good rom supported by a good dev.

Maybe it's just me but I feel that there is better support for OD than DeFroST. My questions on OD get answered fast without the need to bump them. While in the DeFroST thread, I have to bump a few times and then I won't get an answer sometimes too.
Went to bed with 59% battery, woke up 9 hours later finding that it's dead. And that's with OpenDesire. Recommend DeFroST atm matey/
Defrost all the way to go, imho
Regards
I've had DeFrost since I got by Desire back in May sometime. Switched to OpenDesire yesterday for no real reason. It is a bit cleaner from scratch. In other aspects, they're quite the same in normal day to day usage.

I've used pretty much all releases of both roms, deFrost has always been the most stable.
Dunno if its my fault, but going to bed with OD at 70% and finding it dead next Day isn't much fun but seems to be faster and more stable. But i have to look what's so Battery draining.. :/
I love both and switch between the two depending on the current release. Both are outstanding ROM's...
For those who are experiencing poor battery life in Open Desire, Perhaps there is a process hogging your CPU cycles. Get the app "Android System Information" from the market, go to the Tasks tab, and go menu -> Sort by CPU Usage. "android.process.acore" (there were two of these) was taking up 100%. Once killed, overall usage dropped from 40-ish% to 5%, and battery life was somewhere in the vicinity of 4% lost in 6 hours. I don't know why that process every now and then takes up 100% of my usage -there are threads about it scattered throughout the various forums. When I was using ADW Launcher, the problem was much more common, such that when you added or moved or removed a widget, the problem would arise again. Launcher Pro has given me less problems.
I suppose I'm just saying - see if killing android.process.acore fixes your battery life. (i realise if it does do anything that it may only be a temporary solution.

i find both OD and DF almost the same. Open Desire feels much original in every sense, where DeFrost does now take things from others like Cynogen. But thats ok as one cant develop all things by himself.
2 things i really really miss in both of them though is,
1) friend stream widget
2) FM Radio
Both are good and it depends on which one you try and wanna keep on ur device. But yes both looks the same, performance wise i find them alike,
Make a Vote thread then : )
Tried both and switch between them a fair amount. At the moment, I prefer Defrost because it deals with activesync better than OD and I use that for work e-mails.
Neither is very good at displaying the correct contact pics in the launcher pro widget to be honest. I also found that OD was force closing the facebook app.
Defrost is a clone of OD and has been since v2.6, there is no difference other than Defrost having more apps.
DeFroST all the way. OpenDesire is only there if you want to wake up the next morning with no alarm and finding that your desire have gone walkies to it's grave because it died.

Dude are you kidding? If you are serious, I'll flash OD right away. No offense dude but coming from you it seems a little biased.

why do you tell it 10 times a hour? we now know it. thank you.
I use the task killer frequently to save on battery. But ive come to notice that there are certain applications that show up on that list even though i NEVER open them. is this normal? Apps like News, Google Voice, Voicemail, ShopSavvy...
i mean i understand others such as gmail or others that i use widgets for... but ShopSavvy???
i feel like they're sucking my 3500mah battery dry!
Who wants to explain Android task management to him? I am at Dragon Con and way too tired to fully explain it. I will in the morning if no one else has.

Task killers are no good with Froyo 2.2. If want to save on battery life I suggest using Juice Defender. Best way is to root (if you haven't already) and install a custom ROM and custom kernel. All these combined can more than double your battery life.
I haven't upgraded to Fresh's latest ROM (3.2.0.0) yet, but it is reported that people are getting nearly 2 days worth of moderate to heavy usage on a single charge. Compare that to the normal half-day that most get currently on stock.

Sorry about the noob question.il look more into this.but i do have flashed baked rom and I think it already has a custom kernel... But I don't think its helping the battery life

Guess I will try Fresh's ROM... are there any that you guys recommend? I dont use Sense... i use Launcher Pro so i guess it doesnt matter if its a sense rom or not.
My first android phone (was on palm pre and it was so much easier to tweak) so im trying to learn the ways.
Go to the baked snack thread and download kernel 5 or 6. Then setup a setCPU profile to turn your frequency all the way down when the screen is off and set your main profile to around 850 mhz and you should notice a big difference in your better life.

Also, the reason they open is because they provide a service. For instance, Google Voice....When someone calls and leaves a voice mail it is there to receive and let you know you have a voice mail. If it is not running, you will not get a notification. As for the others, they do something similar. So, when Android is done with them Android will close them.

So you don't recommend leaving it at 1ghz as the main profile? ...i have it set as 250 while the screen is off....
Will flash kernel 5 or 6. I don't need to reflash the baked rom again right?
Thanks again

Actually, I would just let it scale itself. I have always had better results from not using SetCPU.

I search and didn't see any info or solutions that pair up with what I'm experiencing. Anyhoo... check out the attached images. I have never noticed this prior to running CM7 7.0.3.1 (and its default kernel). Anyone else having this problem?
Is it even a problem? I certainly thought it was odd, figured it didn't hurt to ask here.
In Spare Parts under "Partial wake usage", Android System is 2nd only to the dialer but it's such a small line/percentage you almost can't even see the blue bar/line.
Help/info is appreciated, as always.
This is a known issue with GB based roms. From the looks of it your getting decent battery life. As long as you don't have wake clock issues I wouldn't worry about it. No one has found a confirmed fix as of yet. Only speculations. That stat is doing less harm then you think.

Hey xda
I come from cyanogen7 and went for the acesmod rom because I was missing the nice widgets, looks, and overall performance of sense. I have now spend some time on acesmod and I must say that it looks very nice and I especially think that the sense keyboard works a lot better when writing danish.
My problem is now that I find acesmod drinking my battery like crazy. Besides this I find it to be lagging a lot and not that smooth a experience that one could expect.
Do anybody know what I could do about this. Have you guys experiences the same.
Alternatively I am open to other sense based roms.
Thanks xda people!

sense roms do use considerably more battery than cm7 roms, nothing you can really do about it apart from maybe calibrate your battery, theres a thread on here about how to do it
Again, calibration is not to be used to increase battery performance... Disable htc.com sync, use as less widgets and let them sync as rarely as possible. Disable pocket mode too, sign out of Latitude and make sure that your market and maps are not in the foreground when you turn your screen off as they won't release the wakelock then.
I can hear that there is not much I can do. Had every updating things disabled and also got the black wallpaper for power saving.
Are there then any sense based roms you would prefer over acesmod 007?

I have good battery life on 007 mod.... But I have used only sense roms, so I cannot compare it to others.
mine life battery is good, try using andrev_oc
andrev_oc? (This is only my second rom)
see here how to install

hope it helps
edit: with ES File Explorer (in settings tick the root explorer and mount file system) copy the freqs to system/etc/andrev_oc
Interesting... I have tried a few Sense ROMs and was quite dissapointed by the performance, memory consumption and battery life, went to CyanogenMod 7.1 and now tried Acesmod007.
For me, it does everyhing as smooth as cyanogen, and something obviously very strange - the same or maybe even longer battery time. A full day with gmail sync, active gtalk usage, a little browsing, ~25min of calls, messaging... on 2G+3G and (mostly) WiFi. And the battery level is still not very low.
I'm very happy with this
The new 007 mod (v39) has even better battery life!
And the speed...

Hi,
I flashed CM7 (nightly 213) as I'm looking to try AOSP instead of sense for a bit. I'd heard great things about the performance and battery. Today however, I didn't use my DHD too much - a couple of short calls and some texts, the screen was on for 1hr15mins.
Before today I restored some apps with Titanium backup after flashing and used LordModUE's kernel (2way call recording, BFS), wouldn't have thought that should cause high drain though?
Display only used 8%, in sense it regularly used around 60%. I doubt it's using any less power, just other things are using more! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

If you were simply looking to try out an AOSP ROM then you probably shouldn't have flashed a nightly build of CM7. That could be the cause of your problem, since from what I know, nightly builds are intended for the more experienced users.
I suggest trying out a more stable build, either from the CyanogenMod site or a custom one from here!
I flashed a nightly thinking it would be the most up to date, bugs gone, etc. After reading a bit more I've realised that's not the case! I've just backed up and will try CM7.1 RC1 with the stock kernel.
If battery life is good I'll try LordMod's kernel and add up slowly; I put too many things on at once so it could have been anything really!
I'll come back in 24 hours and see what's improved
My experience with the rc1 is bad and nightlies builds currently seem better.

I use CM7 RC1 and I have to say that my experience with this ROM is more then satisfying. Battery lasts something around 20 to 48 hours (on weeekends when I don't receive so much mails, 20 hours is something I get on normal working day when I receive around 50 mails during the day) and I have 5 mail accounts online all the time, everything set to push and Facebook, LinkedIn, googletalk and so on. But, I do not use any application to retreive my aplications from backup. I just install them manually one by one. And don't forget about calibrating battery after you install new ROM, it helped me a lot. Also, it is possible that you have some aplication which is draining battery and you are not aware of it.

I assume that you didn't restore system data via Titanium, yeah? Coz that would be bad.
