Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before, I usually don't hang around the Evo 4G forums since I have a 3D. However, my wife has and Evo 4G and uses it quite a bit. Is there a kernel and or Sense ROM out that significantly increases battery life over stock? It doesn't need overclock or anything. Just stable with better battery life.
Thanks in advance!

There are many different roms and great kernels that fits great for some. I use (an example) EVOlvedroms. With that I use either more freedom kernel or chopsuey 9. Both work great for me and had excellent battery life plus stability. Check those out. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I will have to look into those. Like I said, don't have to be anything special, just stable with great battery.

Mik V2.5+ is excellent. It has been my daily driver for the longest time and I usually flash roms every other day or so. Check out his rom. You wont regret it

It all varies from phone to phone. Since that one didn't work out so well for ya, I'd recommend trying out other AOSP kernels and finding whats best for your phone. Invisiblek and Cayniarb are two alternatives that just came to mind.

Just saying usually people who report super amazing battery life have their screen off 99% of the time. Chads kernels have really really good screen off battery life and good screen on performance (Thus not so great screen on battery life.).
Thanks lee. I just read something about that. Thanks a ton!

Although I LOVE meXdroidMod pre-ghostChili, I have to get rid of it because of battery life. :/
Can anyone give me a recommendation of a different rom and their thoughts about it? If you have time, could you also provide a brief description of the features provided in the rom?
-thank you sooooo much! It really means a lot!

Just a thought, why don't you give to the developement section and have a look at all the roms on offer. Many people comment on them so if you bother reading the comments you'll see any pros/cons.

Have you calibrated your battery/wiped battery stats after flashing that rom?
I'll recommend MIUI Osimood, it's bit different, but it works and is great. Just backup your current rom and get flashing, and try out different roms.

I am a huge CM fan. I have used it on 3 phones now and it acts differently on each. But the CM7 stable (7.0.3) for vision is the best so far with regards to stability and battery life. I used the latest bell radio and didnt automatch RILs. I can get more than a full days with HEAVY use of the phone.
This is my best combo (rom/phone) so far. I still prefered the Milestone build quality...but battery life and RAM sucked the life out of it. Especially with CM.

I am using the freshly released Virtous Sense 2.0.0. Why? Because it's based on the recently published original ROM for the HTC Desire Z / G2: 2.42.405.2
So it's native to the G2/Desire Z and not a port, which I consider important regarding stability etc. Especially since the Desire Z with it's hardware keyboard is definitely an exotic variant in the realm of the droids...
What I also like about the Virtuous Sense MOD:
- Slightly overclocking/underclocking is included in the kernel, which makes it a smoother experience while saving power when the screen is turned off.
- You still have the original HTC Sense 2.1 experience
- little things like the battery icon are enhanced (you get an exact percentage) and can also be configured individually if wanted

Why is finding a decent Rom for the Evo4G with 4G so darn hard!!!!!
What makes the Evo/Android OS so hard to incorporate into Roms?
If their are any 2.3.5 + 4.67 +4 G Roms that are worth trying let me know!!!!!!!!!!

This behavior happens due to the way in which batteries are charged. It happens on many ROMs and kernels for the 1st 10%. What is important is what happens after that. If you want to avoid it entirely the only sure-fire is to use an SBC kernel.

That makes you completely ignorant for making that statement. Yes it is harmful in the long run, and they don't include it because of that and the things that can happen to that battery that cam cause the user harm.
try swagstr SOS X, it is my daily driver and doesn't eat the battery up on mine.. You may also want to download a battery calibrator after flashing a new rom

Read up on and try each one and see what other people are saying till you find the one that your phone likes
I agree with penny. You have to try them out yourself.
I'd recommend sticking with the default MikG 3.1 kernel (which is the latest HTC kernel) for a couple weeks so you get used to it. Then jump to lionfish and see if you notice a difference in battery life and responsiveness. Personally I don't notice a difference in those areas, but others have been wowed by the latest HTC kernel. Some people say it takes a couple days for a ROM / kernel combo to "settle in." Your phone will have to rebuild the cache and dalvik, and it does that over time as you do different things on your phone.
Lionfish is not based on the latest HTC kernel since they haven't released the open source yet, but it has other features of course, like HDMI mirroring.

My phone drains 0.2-0.3% per hour on the stock kernel (on wifi with a decent router). The TW custom kernels are not worth using, in my opinion. Now AOSP on the other hand... yikes. Pretty much have to use them.

You might want to take a look at your wake locks. If you are having that drain while the screen is off, it most likely a wake lock. Search the forums for better battery stats.

I'm running HyperDrive Rom and Ktoonsez Kernel. I have tweaked much of the cpu frequencies and used the ktoon governor. However, my battery life compared to the stock rom isn't that great.
Every phone is different so will run different on your phone. I do recommend Dandroid. It now has wifi calling. Complete based on T999. It used to be a port. It's super smooth with great battery life. And it's Cyanogenmod themed.

There are no "best" rom/kernel combinations for battery. It varies from phone to phone. You could try testing different TouchWiz roms and kernels, but remember to make a nandroid before doing so. Some roms you could try are wicked, stockorama, hyperdrive, etc. For the kernels you should use the stock kernel for stability or ktoonsez.
