Hi guys, currently on LeeDroid's Sense ROM, the battery life is awful though, can anyone recommend the best ROM for battery life?
I've just spent the past couple of hours putting Oxygen ROM on and all my apps only to find APPS2SD didn't work (and I can't find a setting for it) and the video camera doesn't do 720p (important for me)
Can anyone recommend a good ROM with decent battery? (2.2 or above)
cheers
Im using CM7, kernel and radio in signature. (i think 720p recording is working, not sure im not using it)
81% battery after 21hours, im not using the phone much but still i think its pretty good.
SetCPU on Smartass 384-998mhz, and Screen Off 123-384Mhz profile.

cheers, looks like the maximum is 720x480 though (rather than 1280x720) and it can't play back 720 video either

I recently compared some rom's battery drain (Redux, CM, Oxygen, UD, Leedroid) when the phone is sleeping (cause i think it's the only usage you can really compare) with Battery widget, and there is no doubt for me that Leedroid has one of the lowest battery drain if not the lowest in sleeping mode (only 1mA in airplane mode during the night,3 to sometimes 5 with gsm on). Maybe that should not be the only usage to consider, but as you also want 720p, my advice would be : don't change anything, keep Leedroid !
720p on Desire is like using 12mpix setting on a cheap Digital camera, it's crappy and takes more space. Desire isn't powerful enough for smooth HD video display anyway.

the one on LeeDroid is very smooth, no skipped frames. OK, the bitrate isn't ideal (but neither is SD on the phone), but it will do me in times when it's all I have on me when out with my kids. I've had HD since my first was born 4.5 years ago and have never filmed them in SD, all home videos are on Blu-ray (and PS3 HDD) with a minimum of 720p.
I will be moving to the LG 3D or Evo 3D (which ever is out 1st in the UK) as soon as I can
+1 LeeDroid
I've tried a few different roms including CM7 - after all the hype I was shocked when I flashed CM7 only to find it laggier than LeeDroid... That was with a clean slate as well. Straight back to LeeDroid...
On battery life I can't speak for CM7, but LeeDroid has the lowest battery drain IMO. I'm also using Juice Defender which helps a LOT.

cheers guys, guess I'll stick with LeeDroid then and survive with 8 hours battery life
8 hours?
Are you running with wifi/bluetooth/apn/gps on all the time?
Have you tried calibrating your battery?
Droid incredible. Rooted, virtually every rom through rom manager causes my phone to battery to drain very fast.
After a charge itll drop to 90% in about twenty minutes. Iv heard thats a droid thing.
From that point, it steadies but still is losing juice FAST. Phone has been awake for 8hrs today with light usage and is currently at 70%. Gps off, wifi off, etc. No vibrating feedback, auto brightness.....all settings geared for battery conservation.
Im using Incrom 1.6 with a stock kernal. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated as i dont stop hearing that everyone in the world is rooted and enjoying their batterys new ability. Ohhh, btw extended battery, red htc one in case that matters.

Try flashing some new kernels..try a couple out. If that doesn't work did you over charge your phone? Or use a car charger?

Its not the battery cause when i revert to stock the battery is normal for what im used to. The change is noticable wen i use any of the custom roms.
Right now wrkng on flash radio, hit a bump waiting for email back.
Ne other suggestions from u or nebody wud be apreciatd
I use the app batterycalibration after flashing new roms it works well for me

Everybody's definition of "light usage" is different. Losing 20% in 8 hours doesn't seem that bad to me unless you litterally never turned your screen on. That said, here are some things you can try:
1. I've found that the auto brightness sucks and I'm better off just manually setting it to 25% or so. That's fine for indoor use and you can't see the screen in bright sunlight anyway regardless of the setting so why bother burning battery trying?
2. Try flashing a kernel that allows you to underclock and undervolt. Perhaps one of Ziggy's nonHAVs kernels (I have found that HAVS kernels to be unstable, but YMMV). Either use the smartass governor or setCPU to cap screen off at 384 MHz.
3. Carry a charger with you
I'd see what is using your battery in settings.
Also, you could try chad's sense (12/28 I think) incredikernel, which sets the max clock speed really low when the screen's off (defaults to smartass governer).
If you wanted to try CM7, gingerbread has a much better battery usage UI that'll give you a nice graph of battery usage vs. time for phone awake time, signal strength, wifi and some other stats.
Any one knows any method to increse battery life in HTC desire
If you Install a new Rom you must clear your Battery stats. Search in the Forum howto make that for your Device otherwise you see wrong Battery "Stats".
Otherewise there are some Apps where you can Incrase/decrase CPU Power and stuff like that.
update date your radio, that should increase battery life
Installing a Rom will help increase the battery life. The stock one is not so good at it.
Put animations low, display light some lower like 30% and controlled by hand, control your CPU and UV settings by hand. Check your synctimes for all your apps. I think these are the most common things to check and play with.

Thanx for making 'dasSOfa' clear. wiping battery stat won't level up ur battery life.
If u want better battery cycle, put aside eye popping rom and use some AOSP with some right kernel. That should do the trick.
I flashed several ROMs and never messed anywhere near the battery and so far, so good.
If you want longer battery life use Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 + Juice Defender Ultimate. It increases my battery life by about 50-75%
Check out EasyProfiles by SmartDyne, it helps me a lot increasing battery life..
since screen is a huge part of battery consumption, setting a darker wallpaper will increase battery life over a brighter/lighter one. by how much i dont know but it definitely helps, especially if you have an amoled screen.
this is the only thing that i can come up with other than the ones listed above.

ONLY if you have an amoled screen. Pure Black is best. If its SLCD it may even be to your advantage to have a bright one as its quite power consuming creating Black using Light.
So I've always used my phones with automatic brightness, but it seemed like this one would always be really low. The only time I would see the brightness change at all was when I'd take my phone out in the day when it was sunny. So I decided to switch it to full brightness on all the time and haven't really noticed a big difference in battery life. Plus with such a great display it looks so much better with the full brightness on. Any of you tried this and notice a big battery drain??

Im the opposite of you. If i have my brightness pass mid, my battery will be drained in no time. So i am forced to use low. I cant even use Auto Adjust, because that will also use a lot of battery. Mid and higher, my battery drainage will be around 59%-65%
For me full brightness really kills my battery. I I used to do full brightness but after going on my quest to improve my battery life I ended up sticking with ~50% brightness

The display is (generally) the biggest drain on your battery, so adjusting the brightness level accordingly definitely has an effect one way or the other. If I'm not in direct sunlight I leave my brightness very low, usually around ~15-20%
One of the biggest battery savers I found was a new watch my wife bought me. No more turning the display on/off throughout the day just to see what time it is
Hi,
May i know how to increase Htc One V's battery life?
I had been using Juice defender (ultimate). Display brightness & volume has been set to low. But still i dont feel there's any change. It takes around 3 to 4hrs to fully charge but drains out too soon. Please Help!
Decrease your CPU clock to 1.4 and set governor to conservative
And what rom u using ?
