Hi guys,
I need to know which DHD rom will be the fastest and most reliable for my desire, at the moment I'm using ownhere's desire HD rom but it is a bit laggy and chews battery.
Thanks in advance
I'm stuck on Cool Sense HD v7 (link see my sig - v7 is released as beta later in the thread). It's as fast as any stock froyo and works absolutely stable for me. Will never go back to sense1...
InsertCoin 1.9.1 is damn fast, never had lags, battery life is around 24-36hrs on medium usage.
I'm using iNsertCoin 1.8h and it's very good.
I'm using RCMixHD v3.0 a2sd+.
This one is very fast and stable.
I've already used this for over one week and no any problem!

Seriously a whole day worth of use, I'm going to have to try this one.
Will tell you how it goes.

I will never go back to sense 1 either, I'll try it. Apparently I was running an older version of ownheredesirehd so I updated it and have no more lag issues, I consistently get around 2600 on benchmark now

Well I tried it but only got about 8hrs of battery, quite good but I think I will try some others or maybe just wait for HTC to release 2.3 with new sense.

how come there are quite big differences between sizes of desire HD roms? some are 180ish mb, and other over 250...
insertcoin 1.9.5 is just perfect

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.
Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)
The linked thread below is the definitive discussion on the Android OS bug. Please read the OP thoroughly before you ask whether ROM's or kernels fix the AOS bug. Bottom line, there is no fix.

I pm'd the OP to see if he minds if I copy the main content into this thread.
It definitely made sense to me. I mean if I charge my phone to full before I go to sleep and I have my 2 email accounts set to sync at maximum which I believe is 1 hour on stock email app then my Android OS is always going to be at the top until I actually start using the phone and if you are really using your phone then screen is always at the top of usage and if it was such a major battery drainer then when I woke up and my Android OS was at like 60% then I don't think my battery would look like this...

So are you in agreeance there is no bug and the percentages show just the way it should?
I do not believe there is a bug but people will argue there is so it is almost a waste of breath...If you click on Android OS you can actually see how much activity is uses. I am also waiting for someone to post a pic that has a high on screen time but still has a high percentage of Android OS.

Well, if its a bug (which it is acknowledged as and without a real fix) then its not something that's dinging my battery in any major way that's for sure. Edit..once I debloated my phone and got rid of the apps that run on their own, everything has been great here

I have been running Calks Rom 1.5a with Overstews ICS Theme. With this Rom and the Kernel that came with the Rom, I believe the kernel was the Rogue Kernel, I was having only 2% dedicated to the AOS. Two weeks ago I flashed the EG31 modem, which I feel I jumped the gun on that, but was still only running 2% for AOS. I flashed the EK02 kernel today and my AOS has been sitting at 14% and I really dont see any improvement in signal strength. Compared to some of the speed test I have seen in some of the forums, my data speeds seem really slow in comparison. Does anyone know if the jump from 2% to the 14% AOS I'm having will make that big of a difference in battery life? With my previous setup, I was able to run on a full charge for about 2 and a half days with moderate use.
I believe (and I may be wrong) that it was masked in the kernel more than it was an actual fix. Really your best bet is to re-calibrate your battery and give it a few battery cycles/days to settle in and then compare your results to previous setup

Any kernel patched up to .14 reports usage in a way that results in dramatically reduced usage attributed to AOS. Personally, even with the bug, the device is superb in the battery life department. If the ever truly quash this bug, it will leap to ridiculous.

I agree 110%. If your phone is set up right, you will have great battery life right now. If it gets solved...wow! We will be in for a real treat. Is there anybody checking this our on 2.3.6 or is it the same?

Same android OS bug on 2.3.6 that I had on 2.3.4, draining around 5% an hour with very light use, and I've already wiped and reloaded apps one by one
apparently this bug is still present in android 4.0

Battery drains really fast, done a battery calibration but nothing, phone is only a year old ish and when its on charge it sometimes says full when its lower than 100% see picture below.
I had the same problem with charging.I charged it few times when it was turned off and now it is back to normal to 100% fully charged. About the drain issue try different kernel if you are using a custom rom!

Just switched to MildWild CM-2.8 and its charging fine, recommend a different kernel even with this rom ?
I had a mildwild rom for about a month and battery life was great but if it still drains you can try ManU kernel! I didn't try it but people say it's great!

No, not on oxygen derivatives. Uses different camera drivers so that doesn't work, but think other things won't either. Have to stick with the _thalamus kernels, which I believe are pretty good too. Same .35 base?

It could be that theres a bunch of apps running in the background?
Without a process manager I find my battery doesn't last as long.

You are right! My mistake
i use task killer and let apps close when screen is off, dont use any apps though really just facebook really. Using nighty 258 now battery seems better but have to data Wi-Fi is a killer :/ last about 5 hours with wi-fi on, having mobile data on is just as bad.
One shouldn't use a task killer app with Android. It does more bad than good, in terms of battery life.

at this point we don't know what ROM/kernel zakkkkk is using, so droidzone's may not even be compatible.
calibrating does not increase battery life, just might stop if from shutting down suddenly at a higher than normal percentage.

so what rom/kernel combination are you running at the moment, did this occur after flashing something/installing an app?
in the battery usage, is it shown as awake during this time? i would check using something like betterbatterystats to see if anything is accidentally keeping it awake.
if there is still a problem, make a nandroid and do clean install of your ROM or 2.3.3 RUU without installing anything else, see if the problem still persists. may then be hardware.
(can't remember exactly, but i think the dialer issue could have been a gb sense error, which reported it much higher than it actually was actually using. i remember clicking the dialer battery use and seeing the actual cpu usage and runtime was minimal)
im using droidzones supernova rom and have been using it for about 6 months now. my battery life has been excellent. this problem only occurred today. i installed a few apps/games over the weekend but i dont know which one is causing this. i have also tried uninstalling a few but with no affect. are the any apps in the market that show which apps are draining battery?

sounds like you've partially answered your own question...
if you were having excellent battery life, then suddenly went bad after installing something, then this is the likely cause...
