[Q] Good non-Sense Froyo ROM?

I got me a Desire from Telus a few days ago and i'm looking into rooting and installing ROMs, but i'm not really sure where to start (there seem to be a LOT of choices). I'm not a fan of Sense at all so anything that doesn't include HTC's fluff will probably get my attention.
Thanks!

im currently running opendesire...
pretty much stock 2.2 with a few tweaks, really quick, and no crap.
either that or defrost which is more tweaked and modded.
these are the only 2 active aosp roms that i have seen lately..
the crappy sense ones have kind of taken over

I'd strongly recommend OpenDesire . It's basically vanilla froyo, with a few minor modifications/optimisations. It's compiled from source (it isn't a mod of a nexus one or HTC rom), and so is fast and clean. It's also being updated regularly in response to bug reports.

How's OpenDesire with battery life? Would I see an improvement or would it be pretty much the same thing?

I'm having the same "problem" really. I now run some near to HTC's stock Froyo rom. I'm sure I found it on XDA somewhere but it wasn't from a well-known dev.
I only installed a rom with Sense because of the black bar, since I purchased LauncherPro. But now that the black bar is ripped perfectly I don't see a reason not to run OpenDesire.
All I want is speed and good battery life.

I think that if i didnt care for the sense UI id first try Cyanogens rom...

I'm running CyanogenMod's nightly build on Desire and I really love it.

With OpenDesire 3.1.0 and lates radio X.X.20 I got 2-3 days of battery life depending on the use of the phone. Normally I have 3G enabled almost 80-90% of the time.

Which is better : OpenDesire or DeFrost ???

Yes too bad so few NON SENSE ROM....

Hmmmm, good one, not sure to be honest, the 1st ROM I tried was DeFroST, and loved it, a few days ago I tried Opendesire 3.10, and now I bounce between the 2, as I can't decide.
No help I know, but had to give my thoughts.

Was using OD from version 2.xxx up to 3.1.0 but switched to Defrost 2.6a for two reasons:
1. Auto brightness is working (like in Sense ROMs) i.e. not too dimmed and that's out of the box.
2. My photos/videos taken with the camera app are recognised by my PCs and so can be transferred. In OD unfortunately cannot be seen.
Both ROMs are great vanilla stock like froyo an in my opinion the best ones. Try them both and stick to the one you like more.

Yep I have the same experience with OD3.1.0 and radio .20, I did download a weather widget from the market and it sucked the life from the battery, so got rid of the widget, all good now. Had no probs with the OJ dying yet, so cant comment on the power usage once the OJ dies.

Running OD 3.1 too
Love it and really see no use for the Sense UI on Android due to the availability of widgets.

Just question: why isn't MODACO present on XDA?
there's also one more ROM...

Are there any ROMs that offer undervolting or a specific focus on battery life?

Undervolting made my desire go wobbly, but not everyones. Defrost was and is doing lots of uv, uvoc, and oc ing.
Hope it helps

Not that i know of.
Having tried leedroid, defrost, shadowfrost, opendesire, nextsense and neophyte id have to say opendesire has very good battery life compared to the others. Defrost is the most snappy, but it drains the battery like a mofo.

I found the opposite, DeFroST seems to last longer than OD on my phone.

Just Rooted & Booted lol My DHD

Any recommendations for a ROM ? there are so many out there dunno where to start I need good batterylife and CM7 based ROMs are a big NO NO...
Thanks in advanced

arhd 6.1.5
hi m8, using arhd 6.1.5 with no probs, battery life is a big ask as depends on what you are running during the day ie bluetooth, gps, wifi etc, as battery life is different for each user.

Thanks guys I will have a look at screen shots of both ROM's although battery life is a big issue for me so is stability and customization.

Try Galnet MIUI stable. They have an awesome performance and a great battery life (currently running at 1-4 mA in idle.)
If you don't like the iphone-ish UI, try another launcher like Launcher Pro.
I do what i want, because I can.

MIUI is based on CM7, iv'e played with a friends DHD who has CM7 installed its just too bland and stock... Sense is way superior IMO and the Sense camera is 100x better than the CM7 offering + iv'e seen screens of MIUI (looks like iOS lol) Definatly dont want that. BUT Thanks anyway dude.

Virtuous affinity is a fantastic Rom mate I was using the unity series but the guys that worked on this have excelled themselves ! So smooth lots of features its great! I love my phone all over again

I know that this isn't a ROM recommendation but iff you want good battery life checkout the accessories section of the forum and look at the evo 3d/sensation battery MOD

ATM I try the new SmartDroid Rom and I'm absolute happy with it. Battery life is great and it's very smooth.

Another useless post.....i remember answering Q's like this many times before as well. Why pppl do not use search?? (i hope a mod steps in here anyway )
There is no such thing called a perfect ROM. What suits my necessities best does not mean that it lives up to your expectation. The battery n stuffs like this are related to how one uses his/her phone, not on the ROM itself (well a little, maybe).
That being said, try one by one yrself n find out one that suits you based.

Too many threads like this. Its down to personal preference and these threads can start into flaming wars/ trolling. Thread closed.

[Q] Best Sense ROM with longest battery life

Which Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM will give me the best battery life on my phone ?

They are all much of a muchness really. However in my experience, LeeDroid has always been good as has ARHD, however LeeDroid appears to no longer be supported but ARHD is, hence it's what I run.
With minimal usage I can get about 35-40 hours use.

Another vote for ARHD

I'd say RCdmix Runny 4.0 which is quite good
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

I get pretty much the same on all of them
but using CM7 with Lordmods undervolting gave me good results

As with any rom what works good for me may not work for you. Some people like CM7, i use ARHD 6.2.0 and get great life etc.
Try each and see which u have better luck with..
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium

Sense ROM's really use much power compared to AOSP ROM's, with ARHD I achieved a max battery life of 24 hours, and now I can easily achieve around 36 hours and sometimes even 48 hours or more.
But if you really really want Sense, then I recommend ARHD

Virtuous Affinity 1.48 or ARHD 6.2.0 in my opinon both have great battery life. With Virtuous I easily achieve 48 hours during normal daily use.

So I flashed Virtuous Afinity 1.48
Regarding the kernel/radio... do I need to do anything or does flashing a ROM include everything ? What radio would you recommend ?
EDIT:
i am using the radio version 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M (from previous stock version)

for each rom, there are different radio recommendations since every rom is running on different version of gingerbread, you should ask this from the OP of the thread. Or just use the latest radio.
I would personally recommend you a MIUI rom since it is light, no pre installed shyza and gives you around 450mb+ free ram, decent battery life and an eye candy theme. Fully customizable from icons to lockscreen, statusbar to bootanimation e.t.c.

You know what you should do? Flash a ROM in yr DHD and never use it. I guarantee you that you ll have the best battery life then (independent of which ROM you flash!!)

Best for me Blackice rom!! Awesome battery life and damn fast....

Unless you try them and make your own assumption then there is no guarantee on what ROM has the best battery life.
Usage is extremely subjective and varies from user to user.

no way! cyanogenmods are sense-less, if you want sense interface you must use a sense rom.
can try a non-sense customizable rom with a sense theme, but it's not a good choice imho..

Just trying out ....

This seems pretty nifty, no issues as yet, and looks really good too with lots of control tweaks with the Trebuchet app.

My WildChild WOM wasts a weally wong time.
With moderate to heavy usage (phone, browsing, streaming, Market, etc.) I get a good 24hrs on it. Usually more.
If your main concern is battery life, set your CPU min/max to 600/600Mhz using the Performance governor. Use noop as the scheduler. Your phone will last a long time and still be peppy (but not overclocked).

Best Battery Life ROM?

Which ROM, in your opinion, has the best battery life for the DHD? Doesn't matter if it's AOSP, stock, etc.
I'm just struggling to get through a days' heavy use with Cyanogenmod and MIUI...
Thanks in advance.

I've tested many GB, ICS, and JB ROMS and so far IceColdSandwich has been the ROM with the best battery life so far, Jelly Time is also good if you'd prefer a JB ROM.

Is the speed of IceColdSandwich acceptable? As a daily driver? I tried it awhile ago and didn't like it too much. I preferred AOSPx but the battery drain was ridiculous.

The speed is good, I sometimes get random lags but you might not necessarily get those.

I was a sense user too but ever since i flashed CM 7.2, i have no complaints at all + you have theme chooser so that you can customize a bit here and there. Battery lasts around 2-3 days on standby. You will see yourself that the battery life is much better than all those sense or other roms...Now i was wondering if i was to flash LordClockan's kernel and replace the current CM kernel, would it do any good towards performance and battery life?
CM 7.2 stable version

Seems like someone forgot to read the rules.
