New Dinc user coming from a DX. What's the best Rom & kernel for battery life

As the post states I'm coming from a rooted dx. I had pretty sick battery life and I know I'm going to take a hit on the dinc.
I've tried a few roms and haven't done much with kernels. Any suggestions or tips so I can make it through the day.

Aosp roms are supposed to get better battery life and I like the invisiblek kernels I'm sure I typed that name wrong but I'm on my phone.

I've tried just about every Rom out there for the incredible and I've found that the Super-Z Rom with the included Ziggy kernel is hands down the best Rom. The battery life/battery charge rate is absolutely outstanding. Additionally, the Rom itself is the fastest I've tested. With it slightly overclocked you can hit mid 1800 benchmark scores. Needless to say, this is my every day Rom and I don't see myself changing for a while. Probably not until I get a new phone actually.

I Just lou's senseless rom with this #4 kernel. a whole day with heavy use, and 2 with medium use

Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 with the ziggy kernel that comes with it. Heavy use on the stock battery from 8:30 am until 6:30 pm and I'm at 66%

Thanks for the suggeations. Are you guys using the stock battery. I was using a few today and the battery went from 90 to 45 in just a few hours of playing around. Are there any special settings that i should stop. Ive also read about underclocking?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I'm on the stock battery. It's a stock flash of Warm RLS5, except for the transparent titlebar mod and the Warm3 boot animation. It's truly excellent.

No lie, OMGB 6 and invisiblek 28 are awesome on battery life. Only problem is some apps aren't compatible with Gingerbread yet, so if you use a lot of emulators, then you might want to go with MIUI (better than most imho).

Not to threadjack or anything, but is there a way to get MIUI an apps drawer?
I also enjoy MIUI. It's rather good for battery life.

Evo battery life....

Ok, I have an evo, running fresh gingerbread rom, and.....the battery still blows, i have tried most if the popular roms and was not impressed, i have set cpu as well, i dont see any change, im not really that good at this stuff so can somebody PLEASE hook me up with a method to make my phone last a day, roms, kernals, set cpu profiles, anything.....thank you all greatly
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

If you are on 4g, wireless tether, playing roms, texting, and making calls, then don't expect the phone to last more than 5 hours.
First thing you need to do is start off with a fresh rom... pick your favorite so far.
Reboot
Install kernal (I like tiamat for AOSP or Netarchy for Sense but I suggest you try your own)
Reboot
Install undervolting script
Reboot
Open Google Talk>Settings>uncheck automatically log on then log off google talk
Install SetCpu
If you don't really game or anything then lower your voltages to 125 min 700ish max (you can be more aggressive if you want, but I wouldn't)
Charge phone to a 100%
reboot into recovery
wipe battery stats
Use your phone till it dies
Recharge
I think you will now have a strong phone that can last a good day depending on how you use it

If you still want to increase your battery life after all that
Lower brightness
lower the updating frequency of stocks, accounts, etc
make it a habit of turning off radios when not in use or install Juice defender
Create profile in SetCPU to lower CPU when screen off

All really good suggestions above...
but sometimes it could be just the battery it self... if all else doesn't work try another battery. The previous stock battery was horrible for me even after trying all the settings and etc. Once I got a new battery and did all the setting changes this thing is ready for anything.

What rom are you using? For the best battery life with a rom like cm7 I recommend using an SBC kernel from tiamat 4.0.2 SBC+ and give it a few days to settle in...then when your battery is low around 20% or less charge it for at least 4-6 hours while phone is sleeping..then turn off your phone while plugged in and charge for another hour..then unplug til green light goes off then plug in again til light goes green REPEAT 10 TIMES! then turn on phone while plugged in wait 2 minutes then unplug and battery is improved...do it every time you charge it from low %... this is for SBC kernels...also follow what the others said above me... I use an extended battery on conservative running it at 245 and 768 its been 12 hrs and I'm at 71% with moderate to heavy use...hope this helped

wow, seems pretty involved, ill give this a shot, im running Fresh 4.0.0.4 rom now, is there another rom i should be using otherwise? i dont use the tether, i just do the youtube thing, facebook,email text and call, nothin to extensive

Try Evodecks 1.0 or 1.2c... Very nice and everything works on it... I'm using Tiamat 4.0.2 w/ sbc, its been 23 hrs and still at 59% thats moderate use though! But just search around and eventually you'll find something that suites your taste... MIUI is also a good rom! Just my 2 cents...

Rom Selection / New Epic

Hey all!
My epic should be arriving early next week. Very excited to be retiring my samsung transform.
I've been a member sdx's haxsung community for a while and I am not new to the rooting/rom/customization process at all. I've even been toying with my own kernel.
However, the epic will be a new breed to me. So, I turn to you, the awesome xda community for guidance!
What rom/kernel/mod setup works best for you? Why? Awesome battery? Performance?
From reading this forum the past week in length I'm thinking of going with syndicate rom with the genoicide 1.4 ghz oc kernel.
Any dragons lay ahead?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance to the community, and to the devs. Look forward to working with you all very very soon (once this friggin phone gets to nj from texas)

Kernel..
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G via Tapatalk

I swear by the Genocide kernel and anything put out by Rodderik. He's had many "firsts" around here including overclocked Froyo kernel, dynamic overclocking and most recently put out the 1st (and only to my knowledge) dual boot capable kernel. Some of the other kernels floating around were forked from his earlier code too if memory serves...
As far as ROMs go there are several good ones, but I use my own creation so I really can't comment on any in particular.

+1 on this setup!

I've had good luck with Syndicate Rom Frozen 1.1.1 and later.
I've also had good luck with Bonsai 4.0 (set it up on a friends phone).

Welcome. I used to be at haxsong as well. Took you awhile if you where still on the Moment?
I've never used anything other than Bonsai ROMs. I'd skip 4.1 and go straight for V5 Beta 13. Very stable, fast and cutting edge with Netflix working, CRT animation, ect....
U'd be all set for when official Ginger comes down the road soon...

Depends on what kind of phone you have, if its a speed demon that can do 1.45ghz, or an undervolting beast that can take a -150mv across the table and get 36 hours. There are such a wide range of limits on these phones good luck finding out what yours can do.
Happy rooting but do play around with stock for like 20 minutes so you can have an idea of what these great devs have done with their badass rom/kernels.

I'm running this same setup as well and have been pleased with it. This is my first ROM and haven't found a reason to change. Phone is quicker than ever before with no forceclose issues and battery gets me through a full day (14 to 17 hours) on one charge with medium use (pushing 4 email accounts including work exchange account, facebook widget, some web browsing, text messaging, a few phone calls, a little angry birds or something).
I may at some point try other ROMs but for now I have no reason too.

Best ROM for EVO4G? (best battery life?)

Which ROM is the best ROM for the Evo4G? The most famous ROMs that I always read about is Cyanogen and MIUI?
which has a better battery life?

I'm using cm7 and thimat kernal not bad so far

In my experience MIUI and CM are on similar footing when it comes to battery; it could go either way since they are both pretty similar (MIUI is based off of CM).

World peace with no regard for human life.

If you like Sense, I recommend the MikG 2.45 rom. You can then experiment with the new Freedom kernels (currently at version 0.8, with varying versions (stock, less, more, aggressive) which have different degrees of undervolting built in for improved battery life.

I went ahead and tried CM7 on the EVO 4G and it works flawlessly.
I'm sure I can save more battery life if I use SetCpu profiles? Is it o.k. to use setCPU profiles with the kernel that comes with CM7? Or is there a better kernel to use?
Also, i prefer SetCPU profiles because I can use the screen-off profile to underclock and save battery when my phone is not in use.

Miui is not based off of cyanogenmod. Miui is better anyway. IMO that is.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I love sense 3.0 Roms and you should definitely try one of kings Roms and any other out there. Anyways, if you like aosp then you should def try decks. Great on battery and works flawlessly. His Rom also has the cyanogen settings to overclock and go into detail with your phone
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have to say Decks ROM is the best I've used. Its very stable and smooth as silk. Using the SavagedZen with BFS Kernel got me excellent battery life...

So far its out of Kinged kingdom or Kings Alliance. My kid sat on my phone and played gun bros for about 4 hours yesterday around midday 10ish - 2 o'clock and the battery still had a little juice left(had not been charged since like 7am). Alliance is a little better to me only cuz it has the hacked hotspot(no error 67).

The Baked Snack ROMs are renowned for battery life.

Been rocking sense lately but nothing beats decks + savagedzen + vipermod + supercharger v6 for battery life and performance.
Edit: ......in my opinion

could you tell me where you download these from?
including the SavagedZen with BFS Kernel ?

Miui syncs up with the cyanogenmod tree quite frequently actually. While its not based off of cm their vendor trees are.

Sorry I'm still learning myself.

I have tested out 3 different ROMs so just know that as I give you this bit of info.
The closest to stock experience would be PhantomHacker's StarBurst ROM.
If you want something with a few tweaks, (5 icon dock, 5 row app drawer, speed/power tweaks, etc.) I would recommend Calkulin's E4GT ROM.
If you want a full blown tweaked out experience, I would recommend viperboy's viperROM.
As far as my daily driver I am running Calkulin's E4GT ROM with Steady Hawkin's Rogue Stock Kernel since I haven't had any instances of LOS with that kernel.
Overall I would say that you should try out any ROM you want, worst case scenario, you don't like it and you can try another ROM. Another recommendation, try the ROM out for at least a week before you decide you don't like it, as it takes a while for everything to settle in.

I wouldn't make your ROM choice based on the highest Quadrant. You really have to try them out and see what works best on your phone. Quadrant is good to gauge the difference between setups on your device but what works well on one phone may not yield the same results on another. That being said...first photo is stock with nothing changed the second is overclocked to 1.6 with Tegrak on Strongsteve's blue ROM....
