Then AOSP ROM's like Oxygen should be best for battery life, you can also try CyanogenMod 7.
Sense ROMs are not going to help improve battery life, you're better off looking into AOSP for that. That said, you could try to alter your usage to get more battery ie: screen at a lower brightness, 3G off, no background syncing etc.
Redux is fantastic for HTC Desire, it's also a ROM that's made for the HTC Desire only, so it's very fine-tuned for it. Battery life on Redux was far better than CM7 and Sense as well.
can't post a link to the redux rom homepage due to this silly post count restriction.
Sense 2.1 + 3.0 addons ROM with awesome battery life : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633
Really great !!!
Why don't you try to change RADIO or something ... battery life won't improve by instaling other ROM cuz oxygen is the most battery efficient ...

Indeed.
Oxygen is less overheaded!
But we have to do "try and error" many times 'cause it's the only way to determine which RADIO is the best for your carrier.
Combination with RIL and RADIO will affect your battery also.
For me, Ginger Villain 2.6 + stock RADIO/RIL + MANU Kernel was the best.

Hello to all,
I have tried the opendesire Rom and it's really really fast and is the best I think for gaming but I love sense, his widget, and better application such as calendar,
Music player, camera app dialer and Facebook integration with contact!
So my question is if is possible and how make a non sense Rom like sense with almost or all features of sense.theme style included of course.
Thanks to all

Launcher pro + has some identical widgets, you can try n use it instead...
How about a sense ROm without the keyboard, txt, contact and phone app. Leave those stock Android and hopefully have the Sense widgets.
So you want a very fast stable rom but has sense?
OD with launcherpro is proberly nearest. HTC havent released alot of the froyo source codes (for Desire) so most of the optimisations are just from a base Sense rom.
This means, there isn't alot of tuning ie. UVOC.
Can result in alot of bugs. Like removing the filling from a cake. Gonna get a bit messy.
Pinky's rom is the one i'm using atm, based on MCR if i remember....
Very stable, fast. Some issues with battery, but a bit of tuning to setCPU and your fine.
Apart from that, it does the job nicely.
I've been switching between Pinkys and OD lately. Just cant live without the sense camera, the dialer, and the incoming call screen. But OD does have the speed, battery life, stability and is a bit more "open" thanks to google passing out source codes with every happymeal.
Also, both OD and Pinky have updates available through RomManager, so you can always stay up to date
Now I have nextsense Rom and is very fast but is impossible to oc and don't have the gpu drivers that in most case can make the difference when playing heavy and not optimized games.
But I really don't like vanilla theme of od!!!and HTC has made a wonderful job with their app such as camera contacts calendar etc etc....
So it's a very big hard choice!
Whit launcherpro what can I do?

Battery life will vary completely between users but mine is around 24 - 32 hours with heavy usage...

care to describe your heavy usage pattern?
Which rom provides the best and longest battery life?
Now that all depends on what you want the rom for.
Do you want HTC Sense? Android Stock? AOSP?
Then the kernels you use have a dramatic difference, and the Radio which can be used.
Personally I'm on:
Rom - Oxygen 1.0.4 (AOSP)
Radio - 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30
Kernel - 2.6.35.9-vorkKernel [email protected] #1
And from all this, depending on how I use the rom.. On a busy day I'll get near 15 hours battery life, and on a quiet time, I can get around 30-40 hours, and all that,without using SetCpu.
So you've got to look at quite a lot of options. Also depends on what apps you use, and widgets, brightness etc.
Not much help but that's my setup and how it works personally for me.

I have tried Miui and also defrost but i didn't know that the kernel was that important.
Could you sugest other rom's? It doesnt matter AOSP or any other
If you keep to the radio which I mentioned in the earlier post.. I do suggest that you try sense roms: LeeDroid's rom, stable and fantastic, as is AuraxTSense tbh, though I'm not keen on the way that rom looks and can drain the battery quite a bit. Oxygen is also a fantastic AOSP rom, as is Cyanogen. DeFrost is good also, similar to Cyanogen mind.
I have never tried any MIUI roms so I can't suggest.
If you're willing to look on other forums, I suggest looking at http://android.modaco.com/ and go to the Desire section and have a look at some of the Sense and NO-Sense roms on there, they are also good for lack of drain.
Stick to the radio I mentioned and you won't go wrong mate . Most kernels released with the roms have been made specifically for that rom and usually will be the best that there is already, so don't worry yourself about that too much.

Thank you very much my friend.
Anyone else got ideas for a rom with good battery?
Hi Guys,
I have had a HTC Desire since it 1st launched and love it. I am always changing ROMs and testing new features but I now want a daily driver for a while. I am currently using CM7 Nightly Roms because I have found they are very stable and have good battery life but I do miss Sense.
I like the DHD ROMs and was wondering what is the best DHD ROM to use and what radio do you use with it.
Thanks in advance
InsertCoin/RCSMixHD/ReflexTSense - it depends on the kernel.
I am using RCSMix HD, with coutt's latest 925mv kernel and get a very good battery life.

I don't know much about the kernels do you just flash them on top of a ROM and what are the best kernels?
Yes, you flash them via recovery, just like a ROM.
Use search function in the Desire Android Developement section to learn about the kernels.
Well...
The main part which determine the battery life is the kernel.
But as usual that is not everything.
Apps synchronizing, proc freq settings, live wallpaper, etc. have also their influences to the battery life.
BTW:
I am using InsertCoin (Baadnewz) 1.8f with Lee's kernel. Everything is fast, stable and has a good battery life here.
I have been using InsertCoin since 1.4 till 1.8h (bck to 1.8f)...for me 1.8f is the masterpiece of all releases since then.
I have tried coutt's kernel...no noticeable difference seen for the battery life.
Hi all
i'm currently using an AOSP ROM, namely MIUI 1.6.5 on a HTC desire (NON HD...)
which combination RADIO,RIL,Kernel do you guys suggests for this Rom
( I have found such topic for desire HD but nothing for std desire...) in order to get the best battery performance
rgds
I updated my radio to 5.17.05.23 as this helps. As for my kernel, I used the ManU kernel but I used the vipermod as well to lower the voltages. From light/moderate use you could get 2 days easy. As for the RIL it doesn't really make much of a battery life saver really so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hi i have a simple question to ask you what is the best rom for the battery life i'm looking for the best rom to play games , surfing on internet etc i'm actualy on miui but the battery life sucks :\ my battery is down after 28 hours so which rom do you advice me for a perfect battery life thank you : )
I 'd say oxygen...one question, does mms work for U in MIUI?
Sent from my HTC Desire

I agree about the GUI...but the thing stopping me from using MIUI isnt bat.life but MMS not working
