Battery life?!? Sheesh! Its horrible. I haven rooted yet tho. I'm seeing all of these rc3 roms that seem promising but the phone functionality out of box seems to be working out for me right now w/exception of battery issue. I waiting for the most perfect roms to be perfect before I root. Plus a verizon employee told me that theyre rolling out the ota's. Im a new incredible owner and I wanna get to know this phone a lil bit before I feel like I wanna root. I could just possibly wait til 2.2 has root. But golly gee, the battery life is horrible! Worse than the eris I owned previously... But it did get better when I rooted that one.

I won't recommend anything but will say that I flashed kings #3 kernel and my battery life almost tripled.
Every user is different. Honestly I can go two days with one charge, and some. depends on the type of usage and how extreme. Personally I am rooted, and running the under volted stock hydra kernel, and it gave me an extra boost. I would suggest getting a higher mah battery

Make sure you check to see if your phone is sleeping when you push the power button or the screen turns off. By comparing awake time vs. sleep time, I figured out that one of my apps wasn't letting my Dinc sleep. Once I set that app to be auto-killed when my phone sleeps, my battery life increased big time.
And just how do I figure all that out? A far as which apps are sucking up battery. My phone seems to be asleep when I push the power button. Screen goes dark and nothing happens when I push any buttons except the power to make it come back on again.

I too am considering going to kings #3 kernel but would you happen to know where I can download the stock froyo kernel if I decide to roll back?
Thanks
You can get the stock kernel on hydras website. Google search for hydra kernels. I think its under support.

I found that but I am wondering what kernel version that stock kernel is as there were a few changes between leak and official.
I followed this post with SetCPU, and it dramatically changed my battery life for the better. I use kingxkernel #1 on SkyRaider 2.5.2 Sense.

Im looking for good battery life, something different/new. I was thinking sexy evo or desire rom

I really don't think you are going to find a big difference between ROMS in the context of battery life, train it, turn off the radios when you are not using them, turn off the update stuff, that's it, you find out differently please let us know.
Try VaelPak. Ive been runnin 2.2 with the HTC #11 Kernal and been easily makin it through a full day. i do turn off data connection when im not using it but its been super fast and havent had battery issues at all
I am running a complete stock latest updates on one of my Evo's and get well over 2 full days of battery life....50 hr average with moderate use. I can put a fully themed launcher pro ontop and still get 48 hrs. Hard to beat the latest software and launcher pro combo for the look I want and excellent battery life.

You said you were looking for good battery life and something new/different. I was basically giving you another option to explore. I have to sets of pics below. First set is a evo completly latest stock using launcher pro. Second set is completly latest stock without. These are just complete factory stock...hard to beat that battery life. And with launcher pro or ADW you can just theme the UI and whala good battery life and something new. Has enough speed for me overall...has excellant battery life...has the look I want the way I want. Unless there is something you just have to have in a cooked ROM that is not stock...why mess with a good thing already? Just an opinion and yes my other EVO is not stock... LOL
Wow that's amazing!! Setcpu? Juice ddefender?

I can only speak for myself but I've fallen in love with the MIUI ROM.It's fast,different, and battery is excellent with CM 7.6 snap kernel.I'd recommend it.Just my 2 cents...

That is straight up stock. The only thing I do is turn off all Hepatic feedback as a personal preference. Other than that straight stock with launchder pro. My other EVO I have tried every combination of ROM and Kernel there is and have not been as satisfied with battery life as stock kernel. I like the Virus senseless and the new stock kernel...of course I throw Launcher pro on top...LOL!!! Not trying to sell launcher PRO by no means but the current version is still based on 2.1 code but he is as of now in the process of writing code from scratch for his next version. I think the price will go up...unless you are in now...just a thought on a new UI in the works...
Minu is a very fast rom.....unfortunately 4g don't work, neither does hdmi. Blue tooth and sms are sketchy at best. When thoes issues are fixed....it may be the best rom out there. Right now I use vaelpak because I'm in a 4g area a lot. It's a great rom.and he is extremely quick to respond.

I love Launcher Pro Plus as Well!! I've been using Myn' warm 2.2 and just installing launcher pro, But I think there still a bit of htc junk running in the background. Whats the cleanest rom out there to use with mininum background to use with launcher pro?

From the launcher pro website he says he his writing the new version from scratch which I take to mean no htc at all...a totally new UI.

Ya that was minimum usage as a test and I would say it passed. The 48 hour one was more of a normal average usage for me...and still 2 days is pretty impressive for stock.

Hey I was just wondering if it was at all possible to port over the MIUI locscreen and top bar battery to a sense rom. I like MIUI but it just feels too Iphone ish and I love everything that comes in a LeeDroid ROM. The spectrum analyzer in the lockscreen for music looks awesome and I just like the look of it in general and I think the battery being across the whole top of the screen in a thin bar is pretty sweet too.
thanks in advance for any input on this I hope you guys can get something made up
I love the look of the MIUI roms, but my battery didnt last long at all, so I've moved back to a Sense rom now.
My wish is to get the MIUI IME onto this rom, the keyboard in the MIUI is sexy as hell.
Anyone know how to do that?
u can use widget locker if u miss the sense lock screen

Is impossible that Sense rom drain less battery then MIUI (with same preferences).
Some people have terrible battery life with MIUI, and some have excellent battery life. I have somewhere in the middle. Sense always seems to be a bigger battery drain for me though.

this is very strange
The lock screen is tied to the framework or something deep like that, so I think it's hard to do so. But, I'd be happy if someone can do it.
i always have a latest leedroid and a latest MIUI on nandroid, and often switch between the two, i use launcher pro with MIUI as i prefer an app drawer, but out of the two, MIUI has the superior battery life for me.
Thread moved to General.

Why moved to general? This was originally a question of porting the MIUI lockscreen and battery indicator over to a sense ROM... i thought the porting of parts of the system and framework between roms would be considered developing...
Not trying to be rude just wanted to know the reason you moved the thread to an area with less developer traffic which will lead to the thread dying out instead of this possibly having a chance to be done.

Yeah, I saw in the MIUI topics that battery life is meant to be a lot better, but not for me. I permanently have WiFi turned on and use my phone mostly for browsing and sms. On MIUI my battery would last about half a day. On aurax sense I'm on 50% after 16 hours.
I know nothing about the Android coding language, but I've got a degree in Delphi and php, will take a look at the difference in code between the 2 on Sunday and hopefully be able to throw something together. Will keep you posted though.

Well, without looking at any code, I don't see why it can't be done. The lockscreen is more than likely somewhere in the framework, just need to figure out how to extract it.
Going to try get the keyboard and lockscreen out, because they're really sexy.
Like I said, I will look into it tomorrow when I am home with a pc and a decent internet speed.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
BUMP I'd really like to see that, too. Any ideas so far, Bending Betty? MIUI is really cool, but I just don't like the iPhone style. I didn't come from a 3GS to the Desire to theme my Desire so that it looks like an iPhone. That just doesn't make very much sense...I could make some Icons for MIUI in Photoshop that don't look so iPhone-ish, but the other things are still there. And that's just annoying. Especially the MIUI Lockscreen is really cool.
I love the spectrum analyzer when music is on and the lol of the lockscreen when battery charging n low etc. also love the battery bar across the top of the screen. those are the two main things I'm looking to have ported over.
I'm busy working on it. Will let you guys know how far I get tomorrow sometime. Only got back home 2 hours ago and its 11pm here, so I'm only going to have a chance tomorrow.

Okay. Im basically done. Just need to tweak a few things here and there.
Unfortunately because of the way the miui rom is coded you're going to have to downllod my rom, which I've edited to work.
Has no iphone feel to it, most miui components, but i will post a full change log when i up the rom.
I know its not exactly what we were going for, but it is the best i can do right now.

I see some of you people really do love this rom, I hear some great things about it, but I hear one thing that make me say "why would they leave that out? "
Reasons I'm tempted to try it
- tethering is enabled (like its supposed to be)
-i hear about great battery life
Things I don't like but could get past
-no sense (which means looking for new widgets to mimic the ones in sense)
Reason I haven't taken the plunge
-NO 4G! I live in a 4g area so to not have it available to me is ridiculous! Any word on why it isn't up and running?
So tel me something about cm6 that makes it such a great rom
Sent from my HTC Evo 4g using tapatalk!
for one it's ridiculous fast i haven't used a faster rom. two battery life i've gone two days without charging before and my phone still had some juice. three stock android feels better (just my personal opinion). also 4g is going to be in cm really soon so you might want to just wait for that. hope this helps and i would defiantly recommend you try it.
If 4g is a priority then keep a rom with 4g support. CM is suppose to have 4g support soon though, and I personally love the AOSP look and feel, and not too much Sense.
Soon as 4g is there I'll try it, see what the fuss is about, I like the speed though
Sent from my HTC Evo 4g using tapatalk!
I am betting that the only reason the battery would be better is because there is no sense... and possibly some things are tweaked out of the gate. I get pretty good battery with a sense ROM when I have WiFi enabled and mobile networking not set to be on all the time.
Cm with zendroid or snap is RIDICULOUSLY fast... an I use zendeoid set at 844-245 setcpu and it feels so much better then not just sense but any rom that's not aosp. I could never ever live sense anymore.

Just so you know they have 4g working on cm7 it should be released before Christmas... changelog was posted last night for the update...
Most ppl like it because it shows off the evo true capabilities, sense holds it back with so much bloat. The speed is astronomical and battery life is awesome.
Also if you want sense like Widgets just download launcherpro which has the same widgets ..
Hope that shed a little light for you.

Is there any type of app or installation to mimic the facebook contacts being added?
If so, I think that's the next rom I try, but one question, I hear the market doesn't work unless you use something called gapps, what is that and where do I get it from?
Sent from my HTC Evo 4g using tapatalk!
personal experience
I tried CyanogenMod 3 times in the last 3 months and it has never worked as good for me as for the masses, I always thought it was suppost to be the best, I did notice that downloads completed faster but something wasn't right, was always glitchy i could never tell if it was CM or AWD although i hate to say ADW cause until just a couple days ago its been my favorite launcher for a while. when i hit the app drawer the transitions where horrible and not smooth and crashed alot.
Im not fond of the white menu either. last tested on 12/15 it could have been the lastest nightly or stable not sure. I may try it again at another time or when it is a fully functional Rom
Okay that's understandable . Cm almost has 4g and HDMI which would make it fully functional. And gingerbread is also coming soon which will remove the ugly whiteness. And then sense Roms shall be scarce and inferior to the great cm

The Facebook app does this on cm6 or any soap rom for that matter. Also gapps is basically making your phone a Google phone instead of just a android phone.

people like it so its good for them, i have other roms i like that i think is good, the beauty of it is we have top notch dev's supporting our phone, the rest is opinion
ive flashed a couple roms but i have not flashed them all nor do i claim to know everything about every rom but my opinion is that cm6.1.1 is the best rom ive used. its the little things that i like about cm6.1.1. for instance the gestures on the lockscreen was a nice addition, being able to use the menu button to unlock the screen is nice. being able to change what buttons you want in the status bar power widget. being able to hold down the home button and launch any app i want is a nice feature, i personally have that feature set to load itching thumb to give me that webOS feel i miss rom my pre.
the 4g means very little to me i have no need for it. i do live in san antonio and we do have 4g but i rarely used it. i am looking forward to having 4g in the cm update but it is more of a looking forward to what else these devs can do than "omg i have 4g on my phone again." i have no need to need such a fast connection away from my house. if i am going to download something that requires such fast speed i will simply use my laptop.
hey guys i have seen alot of forum runners looking fo whick rom is the best because there is so many i for one use calkulin 1.7 and like it alot but which one do you prefer and why?
which one is faster?
which one has better battery life

things like this ill go first
i love calkulins it is pretty fast it does have notification action bar the battery is ok not the best but not the worst but i do wish i can do mirror hdmi out and bluetooth controller control

Thats a good post...Thats a question I've been meaning to ask as well... Which ROM is the best.. I have the Sprint Lovers Rom bc I all I wanted was to be able to use the phone for its wifi ability instead of paying Sprint $30 for that garbage...
Although it seems my sense based ROM is old (so to speak) bc the Cyn mods deliver really great themes etc... But as you said how is it on the battery, when the evo already has a battery issue and I def dont want to take away from it anymore than I have too...
Do other ROMs use the ability to have other devices connect to it? Is the feature not available? Are there any good sense based themes.. IF so can someone point me to a thread.. ( when using a link please be sure it actually had what im asking) I know how to search havent found much..
So far Ive kept the sprint lovers rom..I have add a custom splash.. but i want to change my dial pad..diff boot animations.. not really seeming any that jump out here.. I would love to create some... Just a lot of questions...
I like the smooth, clean,modern look of some mods Ive seen but afraid to change bc of what i'd lose...
Ideas?
