Best Gingerbread but not complete yet Cyanogen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299621
Best 2.2 android for battery life and little or no force closes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146630
This is from my testing experiences . I have tried just about every rom.

Why do people keep responding to these best ROM threds? Point them to the other 50 damn threads with the same stupid question then tell them how to read the threads in development! There is one of these stupid threads every damn day! READ PEOPLE!!!! I read ROM threads for a month before I decided to root and flash. NO ONE can tell you what is the best ROM for you! THEY ARE ALL GOOD!

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 is best IMO (for now).
Less ppl seem to experience problems on it since its a ROM that's been worked on for a while, not to mention its branded with the legendary "ACS quality." AA's 2.3 Gingerbread EXT4 is also really good, but I will wait for an official release of 2.3 before I cross over. Either one is fully functioning, fast, and great with battery (YMMV)

The true answer to this is, too obtain your favorite rom after trying, THEN modifying it a bit to your personal likes and wants.

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 is great! Great speed improvements and the battery life lasts me two days.
AA's i2 is sickly fast and battery seem to be great so far but for best battery life I'd good with Baked Snack v2.4 hands down! I could go for a lil over 2 days w/o charging when running 2.3 which was out months ago and 2.4 just came so I could only guess its better than before! I didnt run v2.4 for too long since AA droped i1 n i2 but for the days that I had v2.4 battery life was sick!

I love syndicate ROM v1.2 too. But, after a week on v1.1 I kept getting popups saying that there is a problem with 'Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps)' stopping unexpectedly. After about a week on v1.2 I am having the same problem, just not as frequently.

Try not to make thread titles to vague next time. Although you got a lot of good replies this time you may not be as lucky on the next. Plus its easier for people to find answers when they're searching if the topic is clearly defined. Welcome to the board. Don't let the trolls intimidate/annoy you.
I personally use SFR 1.2 w/ Genocide 1.0.

Synergy rc1 what compatible kernels are there ?

Ok so I just downloaded synergy rc1 and works great on my EVO runs very smooth .
But my question is what kernels are there that can give me decent battery life.
I downloaded piggy havs more sbc kernel and everythingwas fine but I got the white screen on my cam
So anyone out there no what would be best or if what kernelsyour running if if on synergy

Best you use the stock kernel for now since HTC didn't release the source code from their latest ota update. Once the code is released they will release custom kernels for the sense roms.

You'll know its here when the Genneral, Q&A, and Development forums all flood over with posts of joy.

[Q] Best kernel and rom combination for battery life?

So I decided to go back to an Epic instead of an Evo. I had the Epic when it first came out up until around January. Last things I remember from the Epic development scene was Herver and his Baked Snack Roms and Kernels. (what ever happened to him anyways?) I am obviously in no way familiar with the current crop of roms and kernels and would appreciate suggestions on where to start and I'll test combos to see what works best for me. Froyo and Gingerbread based Roms please.

Good choice. Don't overclock if battery life is a concern. If you want some overclock, go with 1200. I have 2 batteries so I run 1400 max

no 2.4 was the latest. he stopped dev cuz he now had an evo 3d..
I too am looking for the best battery life and I'm having trouble getting it. Currently trying out latest random rom for EC05 and its decent but nothing amazing, I've also loaded the super V6 memory script and the battery just doesn't hold up very well. Where can I get the old baked snack roms?
Sorry to let you guys down, but I can't seem to find the files for baked snack. I'll keep looking though.
i had excellent battery life on the bonsai rom and kernel
Rebirth + Genocide, 38 hrs. moderate use........
Syndicate frozen 1.2 and genocide 2.0 give me the best battery and stability so far, but random rom is a very close second, and then probably viper synergy 5.0. The gb leaks were good with battery too, but I had too many fc issues with them. I would love to try this baked snack I keep reading about though. I've seen a lot of random posts here and there mentioning it, and always boasting about the battery life on it. A pm with any info on its whereabouts would be greatly appreciated. Then again, syndicate 1.3 seems to be just around the corner too, so I'm really interested to see what's in store with that as well.

I am hooked on random rom hawk, battery life is amazing. It usually only drops about 1-2% an hour for me sitting idle. I have heard urban warfare is very good on battery life as well. Gingerbread leak roms are still pretty unstable at this point though. Only try them if you have a good backup procedure down, and are prepared to get hit with force closes and random reboots at any given time. If you need the stability, stick with EC05 roms.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I've tried several roms froyo and gb and the best battery and performance I seen was with randomroms 2.3. Rom but the random reboots kept pissing me off so I wentt to pheonix and its been pretty good I hadbetter battery life with hawk but this is better for now.
I also would like to try backed snack so if anyone has the url t the rom or anything can you please let me know
I found one rom a long time ago butit was 2.1 so I didn't like it I kno there is a froyo one but I can't find it anywhere if anyone has it it would be greatly appreciated if you shared it.

I would recc. simply asop4. an update to the rom is also coming so be prepared for that. then get setcpu and UV the voltages as you wish. I have -25 200-600 and -50 800-1000 and finally -25 >1000.

What do you mean? Google find it for me in <2 minutes.
Im gonna have to try ViperRom...even though it's outdated

Yes, It's another one of these

I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:
Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah
Fast: Better performance then the original ROM
Good battery life: This is a MUST
Clean: No crapware preinstalled
And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...
Thanks guys
For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.

Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.
Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.
So i need something stable.
Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.

You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM
I'll have to give it a try then.
Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0
This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.

While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.

Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.
Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..
SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.
You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...

Your answer:
Each phone hardware, app setup and battery longevity is different. Try them all out and see which fits your needs best.
You received that reply from Uber because this has been asked time and time again and it's the same answer. All it took was some time on your part to read through the general and q&a forums to find these threads a few pages back.
Good luck finding your ideal ROM and kernel.

checked the thread and it seems like video recording issue.
absolute best battery life? Go back to 2.1 with schizopunk's Epic ROM combined with the Pheonix kernel. That was some sick battery life. My best was over 3 days off the charger (no airplane mode shenannigans). Of course you'd have to be on crappy old eclair to get those, but all you asked for was best battery life
+1 Yep that's why I switched to People's Rom....With a 9 month old that will be walking soon.....video recorder and playback is critical
