Title says it a really. I know this has been asked before (the last being Feb 2011 if my searches are correct) but we have had updates and new ROMs since then.
I have mainly used Oxygen and GingerVillian and don't seem to be able to get more that 24 hours out of my battery. My phone is only about 7-8 months old so I don't think it is the battery. I can't believe the official Desire battery life in standby is 340 hours! That's almost 2 weeks.... I'd be happy if I could get 2 days! I know it depends on certain parameters i.e. phone usage, signal, etc. but I would expect at least 2 days under medium useage if standby time is supposed to be 2 weeks!
Also does anyone see an improvement or decline in battery life from Froyo to Gingerbread?
Thanks all
Im using Redux and its really smooth and stable rom. Also the batterylife on the stock kernel is awesome. On this charge I've been playing for an hour or so Gamedev Story and been listening to some music as well making calls and sms. 24h on battery, 60% battery left. Night is the only time I shutdown the data connections and besides the night it syncs Google, Facebook and weather every hour. I would definately recommend this rom.
Oxygen, works great for me, and great battery life.
Oxygen FTW. Besides good battery life, fast as hell, too!
Sometimes even swaping kernels might get you a better battery life. I use CM7 RC2 with couttstech kernel which is gud for my case..!!
I haven't tried Oxygen yet but I'm currently using Ginger Villain
With Android 2.3 Gingerbread with almost the latest CM7
And the battery is just incredible. I think it can easily last 2 days with normal use(checking mail, whatsapp, checking some websites)
My phone is now a year old.
I've also flashed another kernel which supports 124mhz to 1119mhz (If I'm correct).
Also another friend of mine has the same rom and his battery also lasts very long and he has his phone even longer than me.
I find it odd you can't get 24 hours out of Ginger Villain. Maybe it is your kernel?
I can tell you it has a better battery life as the MIUI Roms have.
It might also be worth trying different radios as they can effect battery too.

I have been using Oxygen, great battery life (almost 2 days) and its very fast, but I've been getting reboots/bootloops every few days.
Anyone else experienced this, and would Redux be more stable?
Cheers
I'm using Redux too. Battery life is excellent.
Oxygen FTW!
I'm finding Ginger Villain equal to Oxygen for battery, although I think I only started using Eviollet's 1.3 kernel after I swapped which is a big help.
Much friendlier threads though for GV and no random reboots has made me stick with it.
Dabbled with data++ and ginger new sense roms recently and battery is sufficient, but not as good as AOSP

I currently used CM7 RC4 with coutts .38 HAVS CFS kernel. Battery life is great. I do charge it up everyday but I do play games quite a bit but if I leave it on standby, I can get a couple of days out of it.
I had stock sense last month and I uninstalled just about everything and fit the rom onto the sense hboot, from that, I managed to get about 80 hours of battery life out of it with light usage.
I'm using ginger villain, not noticed to big of a change from the stock 2.2 tbh.
Is redux stable enough? Heard mixed reports
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've been using Redux for a month now, battery is excellent, the ROM is amazing fast and i've never had bootloops/reboots during my use.
Oxygen, without a doubt. I don't know why or what it does different to others however. I only really noticed the difference a couple of days ago...76% remaining after 16hrs + of being unplugged and that was with GPS on network only, WiFi on etc and normal usage.
I use Insertcoin S port and it works great, I have 69% now after using it for 21 hours. I don't know which other rom has this but i am very happy with this rom.
I'd say oxygen...it really feels like on (nearly) any other rom battery life is halved compared to this masterpiece 0.o

Hi,
I can't post in the GingerVillain thread that's why I'm asking here.
I'm using GingerVillain since 0.3 and until version 0.6 or 0.7 (don't remember exactly) I had great battery life with this ROM. Normally more than 48 hours without a recharge. Now since GingerVillain 0.7 or 0.8 the battery life has gotten way worse though I changed nothing. I did several full wipes with reinstalls but the battery life with GingerVillain standard installation is definitely worse than in the previous versions...
can I tweak GingerVillain maybe with another Kernel from the VillainSetup to get better battery life?
Thanks in advance
I'm on gingervillain rom for quite a while now.
Wish i could have battery life of 48 hours.
This is my first custom rom i installed on my phone.
And my experience with this rom is that battery life is not like the original rom.
But i like this rom a lot. So i stick with this for a while. Charging everyday
I also have this problem, charging everyday at the same time. Not bad as before I would get appx. 1.5 days. Only issue is I don't actually use it that much?
Not really got anything constructive to add. Ginger Villain is the first customer rom I have tried and the battery life is pretty much exactly the same as it was under sense. Namely utterly lousy, need to charge twice a day! Do use it relentlessly mind so it is probably me ;-)
Well I definitely had better battery life with the first GingerVillain versions...that's why I started this thread.....but thanks for your answers so far....
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.
So i know it may be a difficult question to answer, but I am wondering something... What sense ROM and what aosp ROM have the best battery life? Thanks in advance for your help!!

With WildStang83 Desire Inc HD ROM I go from 440am to 5pm with a single charge and still have like 20-30% left.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253492
And aosp I can't really tell because I don't use aosp (I'm a Sense lover maniac) the only one I used was cyanmod7 nightlies like for a week and the battery life was ok. I had to charge atleast 30-50 minutes during my break time.

Sense ROMs take up more battery life because their is more going on, but I don't think its that drastic compared to AOSP. I use Nils 2.3/3.0 gingersense and I can normally go till next morning or miday after a charge.
The only AOSP rom I've run was MIUI and I would constantly get 24+hrs and sometimes over a day (1800mah battery).
There's still a lot of tweaks to come on the Sense ROMs so don't expect too much from them at this point in time. Once the GB kernel source is released and we get some custom kernels then the battery life of Sense roms may increase.
MIUI with Chad's Incredikernel will give you ridiculous battery life. I would get over 24 on one charge. That's what I used during Hurricane Irene when the power went out lol

I use Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist. It's kind of a mix between sense and AOSP. Alot of the sense has been removed, but it still kind of has that feel. Love it...very responsive and stable. By the time I get home from work, around 7pm, I still have like 70% battery remaining.

+1. I use either MIUI or one of many AOSP ROMs then I flash Chad's incredikernel. When I undervolt the kernel I can almost go two days without needing a charge.
The best battery life I've gotten is with the most recent stable Cyanogenmod 7.
For some reason my battery life is *noticeably* better on MIUI than with CM7. Seems strange but the difference is there.
of the few
of the few I've tried (gingersense, cm7, and uber), I found NilsP's Business Gingersense to get me the best battery life. Day and a half on one charge, mobile network on 80% of that time...
I need to get more battery life out of my Inc. What ROM gave the best battery life? Froyo, GB or ICS. I will flash any one that gives me the most time to use it.

Using froyo sense 1.0 roms... with Lou's #8 kernel, that was my most battery efficient rom-kernel combination.
I run vanilla(GB)/incredikernel now, and with a lot more of customization, I am close-but-not-quite as efficient as froyo sense/Lou's #8.

None of Lou's links work anymore. I may try the Froyo Incredikernel. Did you ever use that?
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
Edit: The froyo incredikernel with Skyraider was pretty slick too but i havent used that combo in months

I've been using my own ROM with Interactivex and I can get maybe 10 hours out of it. I'm a flashaholic anyways, so I'll probably end up trying everything

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.

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
