[Q] Best autonomy between froyo/Miui and Gingerbread roms - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi it's again me i have a simple question to ask you wich rom has the best battery autonomy using sense 2.1 ! gingerbread? Miui? or froyo please tell me what's the best thank you veryy much guys

No way to tell.. You'll need to try them out and find the ones you like/find least battery consuming.
I've seen plenty of people trying to compare battery life on different roms based on anything from feeling to sleep voltage numbers to screen battery consumption, and it just isn't anything to go by.. The numbers are completely random from device to device and from user to user(depending on how you use the device), so no there is no one great/low battery consumption rom EOS
I'll suggest oxygen as a nice and lightweight aosp rom, but try different ones out

In my opinion, Gingerbread(Android 2.3.x) Roms must be much better than Froyo(Android 2.2.x) Roms. And if you are looking for the Rom with the best battery, I may tell you that Miui is you last choice...

Best custom rom for battery management

I was wondering which rom out of the many available - is best in terms of battery life?? I didn't really want to start a whole new thread .. but i am looking for those here who have flashed most of the custom desire roms on XDA, I need a rom that manages battery better then most.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to have lots of answers. Unfortunately, each one, talking about one rom or the other will tell you that its rom is better that others.
I'm running a ROM developped by a single developper (Itanium 1.8 today) and the battery life is pretty good. Undervolt mod is included, several optimizations have been made for battery usage, but again, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen and OpenDesire (these are examples, not the only ROMs working fine I guess) are good at saving baterry life...
So I would say it's hard to tell, and the best advice would be for you to test several of these and find the one which best suits your needs... You might end with a ROM which might give you less battery life, but which would looks better for you and for your usage (Sense based, without Sense...).
Hope this makes sense.

thanks for the info bro I hope others will also post a comment. Although, as you said - opinions will dither, it will still be good to get an overall opinion from many XDA desire users.

[Q] Which ROM for best battery life but w stock Sense feel (for the wife's phone!)?

Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice (having searched as best I can first, and without hijacking another thread) - I'm a Nexus One user (running CM6.1, and very happy with it), but my wife's Desire (currently unrooted stock latest OTA update) has a sucky habit of running the battery down to zero every so often when she's not using it and I've been thinking a custom ROM is the way to go. However, there's a lot of roms for the desire, and I can't work out which meets the requirements best:
1) Must appear to be a stock Sense rom to the user (she's just got used to the UI, and I don't want her to get flustered) - I'd like something that seems as much like the stock rom as possible please.
2) Best possible battery life (happy to try uv if it's unobtrusive)
Any replies very much welcome, ta.

I prefer not to say which ROM is better compared to other ROMs as I think it would be unfair on the developers who have put in so much hard work to bring us such a great variety of ROMs, but in terms of battery life, I would personally say that I had the best battery performance out of OpenDesire. The only problem though is that OpenDesire does not have Sense UI. With it, I was averaging about 2-3 days (depending on usage) use out of it before I need to put it on the charger. At that time, I was also running a different Radio (5.10.05.23).
If you really need Sense UI, then I would suggest LeeDroid's ROM as it provides pretty good battery life as well.
Have you considered the MIUI ROMs? they are pretty new and highly customisable, with an iOS like interface with widgets, also provide impressive battery life and are very stable.
I'm sure many would disagree with my findings but this is just based on my own experience of using these ROMs.
MasDroid,
Many thanks for the advice - I've gone with LeeDroid and it's worked like a charm. A well supported and stable ROM, which I'll recommend to anyone in the same position.
Thanks again!
J
I second MasDroid's opinion about LeeDroid ROM.
I am glad you're enjoying such a good ROM. Hope your wife is happy, i know how important that is

DHD sense roms vs. non-sense roms

hello ,
this thread is to find an answer for the question about which build is better for our DHD , i am talking here about the performance , not the appearance ...Due to our limited battery capacity ( 1230 mah) is sense builds better in performance and specially battery life than non-sense roms due to kernel issues ?
You just started one. Best way to find out is to flash and find out yourself. Not one user uses the phone like another, so performance and everything varies, and it is also based on an users taste.
The battery life is quite the same, i tested sense and non-sense roms. The only thing i recognized, is that without sense there is much more RAM available. So some apps and especially some services like tune-in player in the background dont close themselfes due to low free ram space. for me there is no way to use sense based roms.

Good question! I noticed that on GB my battery last less that one day on stock rom, but on very good GB w/sense rom I passed the day. I don't even tried a GB non sense. Now new JB roms are all almost beta and some of them don't make you 24 hours.. :silly: But on JellyTime (aokp), sometimes I can get rid of the day. I tested Blackout ICS and aospX and I can say that I can reach without any problem at least 48 hours of middle-use.
Good Flash

My suggestion is try as many as you can until you find one YOU like. CM7, CM9 and CM10 ROMs have ones that are more "stable" then others. It depends also on what you are planning on using the ROM for.......I mean what are the activities or tasks that you want to accomplish? Do you want the newest JB ROM for app compatibility while sacrificing battery life or a CM7 ROM which is dated a little bit but fares better in the battery department.
Also there is the issue with Flash not working correctly on JB but works with CM7 and CM9. If you want OTG support than you might want CM10.
My personal favorites are remember this is MY opinion and opinions are like butt-holes lil)
1.) Barebones CM7: a bare ROM without all the bells and whistles which leaves a lot of room for personal customization, excellent battery life
2.) Energy ROM CM9: smooth ROM with typical ICS ROM battery life which = or slightly greater than stock
3.) AlienDroid CM10: built on a excellent ROM and allows user custom options for the UI, battery life is getting better with CM10 ROMs but 8 hours might be an average
Hope this helps I'll stop rambling now

Minimal ROM?

I've been using LeeDroid romfor years but my M8 is now struggling badly with battery.
I was wondering, and struggling to find, any ROM's that play nicely on battery and resources to use the devices as a backup of sorts.
Had a search for the Sailfish OS that looks interesting but seems the M8's ROM support might be finally dying along with the phone.
Any suggestions?
1. You should've asked in Q&A section tbh.
2. There's not much that can be done about bad battery. I'd clean flash the rom again and do some undervolting and underclocking.
If you want to switch roms and want a sense based one then try a debloated stock rom - sometimes stock works best. ICE also had a good battery life.
If not sense based isn't an issue then there's plenty to go around - I think they'd be mostly the same with battery life, so pick whichever one you want - Oreo roms are new, Nougat roms are solid.
I'm currently on RR 5.8.5, did some underclocking and battery life is acceptable for such an old device.
