sense is a UI not an OS
as for battery life, it depends on ur needs, live wallpaper, auto sync, 3G and wifi etc.... i'd say the stock 2.2 would do the job
Leedroid 2.3d with coutt's kernel gave me the best battery life.
Now on a HD Port (see siganture) - also having a good battery life - up to 2.5days.

so u swapped out the official leedroid kernel for coutts and it improved battery life? im on leedroid right now but lattery isnt reallky impressing me. ive had it running 17 hours and i got like 54 percent.
You probably won't get much better battery life, it really depends on your usage. Also, since your on telus you always have 3g on so that drains it quite a bit more. I can last a lot longer if i'm on 2g compared to 3g on fido.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a lot of difference between a ROM running sense 2.1/3.0 (like RCMix or InsertCoin) and a gingerbread ROM running the old/normal sense (Like Leedroid 3.0.7)?
What's your experiences?
no, its quite the same for me.
in my opinoin sense 2.1/ 3.0 roms are just more eyecandy
Insertcoin Nightly v44 has a great battery life, if i plug my phone out it'll survive till the next morning, and i use it intensively

Did you change or install anything? I get quite a disappointing battery life with v45
Okay cool, thanks everybody,

I turn wifi off when i leave my house, put 3g on when needed(around 9 hours a day). pocket mode disabled and the option above it aswell(don't know it in english, have the dutch one) but the one that turns the volume down when picking the phone up, no auto-sync and that's it, but if you still have battery drain, you should change your radio and RIL to the ones it baadnwz.com's addons it has drastic effects
Hope i helped you
Btw v45 drains little bit more
v46,47 drain a lot and are buggy as hell,i don't advise you to use those
I tried InsertCoin for a while, but found that it was a little slow and also drained a bit more battery.
Switched to Oxygen now, got great battery life.
Grtz
Trying InsertCoin now, looks great but more attacted towards Sense 3.0 ROM's
I'm on Cool Kingdom v7 (Sense 3.0) now. Flashed it 2 days ago along with my first ext4 partition
Used Oxygen for a long time but fel in love again with HTC Sync and skin.
Cool Kingdom is offcourse much laggier than Oxygen with is very very quick. Also the battery get's quite hot when using it (probably because overclocking). Must say the battery life is not as good as in Oxygen, wich i also wasn't expecting, but it is virtually thesame as in HTC Stock Froyo which I was running before rooting my phone 8 months back.
Which Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM will give me the best battery life on my phone ?
They are all much of a muchness really. However in my experience, LeeDroid has always been good as has ARHD, however LeeDroid appears to no longer be supported but ARHD is, hence it's what I run.
With minimal usage I can get about 35-40 hours use.

Another vote for ARHD
I'd say RCdmix Runny 4.0 which is quite good

I get pretty much the same on all of them
but using CM7 with Lordmods undervolting gave me good results
As with any rom what works good for me may not work for you. Some people like CM7, i use ARHD 6.2.0 and get great life etc.
Try each and see which u have better luck with..

Sense ROM's really use much power compared to AOSP ROM's, with ARHD I achieved a max battery life of 24 hours, and now I can easily achieve around 36 hours and sometimes even 48 hours or more.
But if you really really want Sense, then I recommend ARHD
Virtuous Affinity 1.48 or ARHD 6.2.0 in my opinon both have great battery life. With Virtuous I easily achieve 48 hours during normal daily use.
So I flashed Virtuous Afinity 1.48
Regarding the kernel/radio... do I need to do anything or does flashing a ROM include everything ? What radio would you recommend ?
EDIT:
i am using the radio version 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M (from previous stock version)

for each rom, there are different radio recommendations since every rom is running on different version of gingerbread, you should ask this from the OP of the thread. Or just use the latest radio.
I would personally recommend you a MIUI rom since it is light, no pre installed shyza and gives you around 450mb+ free ram, decent battery life and an eye candy theme. Fully customizable from icons to lockscreen, statusbar to bootanimation e.t.c.

You know what you should do? Flash a ROM in yr DHD and never use it. I guarantee you that you ll have the best battery life then (independent of which ROM you flash!!)
Best for me Blackice rom!! Awesome battery life and damn fast....

Unless you try them and make your own assumption then there is no guarantee on what ROM has the best battery life.
Usage is extremely subjective and varies from user to user.

Hi Guys
Looking for best battery life and bug free rom...
As I am just pissed off by battery life by stock rom, i do not mind going on Aosp rom either on gingerbread 2.3, 2.2 or 4.0
hope some experienced people over here at XDA will help me to find out a good battery life and smooth rom for daily use.
Thanks
From my experience, the best rom (fast, bugfree, no lags) that i have came through is splash mod. Now for the battery, you can download easy battery saved. You can then configure it to stop some things when the phone is locked so that battery consumption is reduced. I personally use it and have my phone up for more than 20 hours
The best thing I've found for battery is to buy a spare battery and a wall charger that holds the spare battery, that way by the time my battery is flat my spare one is fully charged. As for the roms its personal preference in my eyes, splashmod may be fast out of the box but I could have a sense based rom running just as fast within half an hour so my advice is try them all and find one that suits you.

Best rom
IMO,I would say the joker rom,spalsh v1.8,and sunaabh. Ive had about 30-60 percent battery life on averga more than stock rom with the 3 I mentioned
I am curious what makes splash rom faster than cm7 since it is based on nightly 256. I think it might be just because of JIT enabled in CM7 (not sure if it is by default) while it is not enabled in splash rom. JIT might (is) causing some delay when executing applications. What do you think?

No there's nothing special about it, its because he's stripped out all the apps to make it a barebones Rom, thats all.
Not for me though I need apps like the clock and don't want to waste my time downloading such apps from the market, I'd rather have a full version and delete what I don't want myself.

For me best rom is RemPuzzleRom fast,stable and good battery life.
I have had the best battery using CM7. I remove unwanted apps using Barebones tutorial.
~20 hours battery life on CM7.
~17 hours on Rempuzzle
Splash mod 2.0 is the best, becouse there is no bugs and it is very friendly to battery
Sent from my Wildfire using XDA
rempuzzlerom and splashmod .... worked really well for me (about 20 hours of battery backup)
I still use stock 2.2 and trust me battery last for 1 to 1.5 days with constant use of twitter, sms, gtalk, call and browsing.
SplashMOD is very smooth, having no issues with it yet, been in use for 2 months. No FCs, all apps working fine.
CM7 was with me for 4-5 months. Towards the end it got very laggy, like seriously jumpy (probably due to neglect), but battery life on splashmod is no where near as good as CM7.
Maybe i just use it more. I think sleep as android and copilot rinse it, which i didnt have on CM7
Am switching to Rempuzzle soon so see what all the crack is about
I know this is a pretty dumb and common question but i wouldn't have asked if i didn't need to ask it badly. I am leaving leaving my place for a month and i would need a longer battery life between charges because i will mostly be on picnic outside or doing something else where the connection won't be possible. Two things i would ask is that whether the LC ICS atm has good battery life because i had stopped flashing a while ago and i don't have time to go through every rom just to record battery life. Also how is the 480p on LC ICS compared to the 720p on GB roms because i will be recording A LOT from my phone. If LC's rom isn't that stable then can someone link me to a good GB rom with smooth interface and good battery life. By "good" i mean 8-12 hours with moderate use, is that a lot? and of course more is better.
EDIT: oh yeah, Mods! please don't lock this right away xD
Thanks a lot in advance !
This gotta be in the Q&A section.
Back to your question:
I would maybe recommend cyanogenmod 7.2 or ARHD roms.

I guess that CM7.2 is your call...has no sense at all, but works great and battery life is great. Take into consideration that battery life is not awesome in this device, but CM7.2 is not bad at all...also paranoid android is awesome, but is ICS and camera is not as smooth as in GB.
If not, you can try CoreDroid V9.4 or the Energy Rom...both have great battery life and no lags at all at least for me....

The best rom I ever had in terms of battery and smoothness was Bindroid. It's Android 2.3.5 and sense 3.5.
I don't have a link but you should easily find it by google.....

Which ROM, in your opinion, has the best battery life for the DHD? Doesn't matter if it's AOSP, stock, etc.
I'm just struggling to get through a days' heavy use with Cyanogenmod and MIUI...
Thanks in advance.

I've tested many GB, ICS, and JB ROMS and so far IceColdSandwich has been the ROM with the best battery life so far, Jelly Time is also good if you'd prefer a JB ROM.

Is the speed of IceColdSandwich acceptable? As a daily driver? I tried it awhile ago and didn't like it too much. I preferred AOSPx but the battery drain was ridiculous.

The speed is good, I sometimes get random lags but you might not necessarily get those.
I'm getting only 12-14 hours of battery life using Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.0.1
Which rom should I go for? I prefer GB because of camera, I really take a lot of photos.

I was a sense user too but ever since i flashed CM 7.2, i have no complaints at all + you have theme chooser so that you can customize a bit here and there. Battery lasts around 2-3 days on standby. You will see yourself that the battery life is much better than all those sense or other roms...Now i was wondering if i was to flash LordClockan's kernel and replace the current CM kernel, would it do any good towards performance and battery life?
CM 7.2 stable version
Seems like someone forgot to read the rules.
