I have FreeGS3 with agat's kernel using ktoonservative governor. I'm getting a 8-10hour battery life with medium heavy usage (i think its because of the bad reception here in Puerto rico). How about you guys? I'm trying to find other good setups with touchwiz and good battery life.

blazer rom . period. i used free gs and its got really cool features but it doesnt feel as good as blazer rom
Sadly, this thread will most likely be locked soon like others that were similar.. tis a hard topic for the simple fact, Everyone uses the phone differently, and has different settings applied to each rom. So it's going to be very difficult to get an accurate measurement.

It happens a lot. There can be no real "Best" anything because of the variables involved. Some users are gamers and may get different results than a caller/texter or an internet browser user in a good signal area vs. one in a bad signal area. Just read all the tips threads and look for tips in your ROM of choice.
Thanks

Title says it all. Been struggling with battery life, and haven't been at xda in a whike, so what's the best rom from a battery stand point? Please share your experience.

You are a gentlemen and a scholar, but though I understand that it will never be the same and will be very different, my question is more to find out what roms users have found to give them good battery life. Some roms are more known for mods, others more known for stability, still others for battery life, so It's more of gauging what are the popular roms with users who have found good battery life, so I can test them out in my own uses Does that make sense?

Your last line is your own answer, because there is no two phones alike or two users who use their phone identically. "so I can test them out in my own uses"
So try the ones you want and answer that question for yourself. This exact question you asked has been asked at least 100 times a search would have yielded that answer for you and most treads where locked again because it's a mute point.

Fair enough, I guess I also was wondering which of them have been the most popular and up to date, because between work and school, I can't have a non-functional device, I don't want to go out testing all the roms, but rather hear a couple recommendations and go with those first.
Anyway, Thats a fair point, So I will have to do a search and see what I can find. If you have any particular roms that you've enjoyed tho, feel free to PM me or post them here. Otherwise, mods feel free to lock this.

The most popular roms will always be at the top of the listing development just because the threads get the most traffic. TPR The People's Rom is my personal choice it comes with Aroma Installer which gives you plenty of choices in apps and kernels.

Hey all, wondering what everyone's opinions are for the best kernel and rom combinations out there. I'm mainly looking for solid performance with good battery life, but then again, who isn't?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
phones are like people, no two devices are exactly the same. what works well for me may not even boot up for you. therefore, questions such as these, are impossible to answer, because every device works and behaves differently. the only way to figure out the best ROM and kernel combination for your device, is to try them all.
not every device is treated the same way, just like people.
Yup, but to add to it, everyone wants solid performance and great battery, but everyone uses the phone differntly, so in every aspect, there's just no good reliable way to answer questions like this.
They can also prompt flame wars between loyal rom users which is one reason why these threads always get closed. Sorry, but you just have to research what offers you what you want, then test it out for yourself if it actually does what you want.

Thread Closed
I'm trying to move on from gingerbread? what is better?stability?performance?battery life? I know gaming performance of gingerbread is superior to these two. And what rom would be great? + kernel?
XDA doesn't allow the discussion of "best" ROMs and Kernels e.t.c.
It might not be one but is a correlated thing to it.
You just try some yourself
It all comes to personal preference.

Thread Closed.
The selection of ROMs available is a bit overwhelming. Which one should I be using?
Stock? (Rooted ofcourse)
SuperZen?
Prism?
CM12.1?
Slim?
Omni?
Carbon?
Euphoria?
Paranoid?
And don't say flash them and see for yourself. I don't HAVE TIME to flash all of them, nor am I remotely interested in tinkering with the settings on each and every ROM. I just want to get the best value out of my phone. Aesthetics aside, do they have any notable key differences between them such as stability, performance, battery life, memory usage, or are they all relatively equivalent in that department?
I feel this thread will get flammed.

Why? Are less experienced members not allowed to inquire the more experienced members here?
Using PA, and I never had a 2.3 GB free on my RAM since I bought this phone!

I tried CM12.1, but there were annoying bugs for me, the phone got warm and battery life was bad.
I went to SuperZen and everything is pretty much like Stock, not much difference other than not having to disable and hide as many apps.
I really wish this phone had better battery life.

Yes they are, but best Rom, best kernel threads are frowned upon. All the developers here give their work for free and all strive to provide the best possible software. So in this case comparison equals criticism. You really need to decide what you want and make your decision based on your own reading of the respective threads.

Also, the best rom for one person may not be the best for someone else. Everyone uses their device differently, so there's really no other way to know what will work the best other than trying out a few.
Also, you may want to have a look at the sticky threads. (sorry mods, I'll get out of the back seat now)....

i see windows user here. Tell me, why do you buy a 4gb of ram phone if your system uses only 2gb? Android has good ram managment and i love to see 200 mb free ram, then i know it's worth. It's like buying a ferrari car for 20 kmph on country roads.
You didn't understand it, haha, Imagine this, when I'm in the stock ROM, my free RAM is always less than 1GB, then here you are saying it only consume half.

You should try SlimLP, there aren't any bugs so far, and you get this for your SOT(if you use it efficiently)
Sent from my ASUS_Z008 using XDA Free mobile app
At this state, most ROMS are almost identical. Only a couple have the actual ROM's features. Our PA doesn't have hover/peek (yet). I think only Slim Rom and Team EOS have their features activated. But most (CM based) ROMS have the same bugs.

I don't see the harm in criticism, so long as it's constructive. If I was developing a product, and my work wasn't up to par with what the people wanted, I feel it would be a disservice to myself and to others to blatantly shun / ignore criticism that could possibly help me develop a superior product.
Are people here really that thin skinned?

That may be the case, however, if you read my OP, I clearly state that I am looking for user feedback on KEY differences between the ROMs which affect EVERY single ZenFone2 user (if any exist at all?). Ntrasme just stated that they are all basically identical at this point. Can anyone else testify/confirm that?
Personally, I've tried a few of the CM12.1 derived ROMs myself and did not notice any major differences between them other than a few slight aesthetic changes, which makes me wonder if there is any legitimate reason as to why I should use one over the other

Literally every ROM will be useful to different people.
Install a ROM. Decide if you like it. OR YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ THROUGH EACH ROMS THREAD. Please do not clutter the forum with this type of post. It is completely unnecessary. The ROM that works well for me may not work for you. Features I may love, you may have no use for. Literally just spend a few hours or days reading reading reading and more reading up on all these ROMs, and install ones you think will work. You will not receive an answer you are looking for here.

To be honest you have to deside for yourself. No time to flash is not a reason at all. We are all busy and yet spend some time to flash and find our own perfect roms. Developers spend 10x more of that time to bring us FREE rom to flash. Ill give you an example. Says rom #1 is my best rom. i love it give me the best battery life i wanted but it lags here and there which for me its fine. But for a power user. Someone who play games or someone with lots of apps may find it annoying to have lag here and there. And might not care so much about battery therfor labeling the rom not his/her favorite. My setup is unrooted. Looked bootloader. I hate my sot but i have quick chargers at my work. Homr and car. So im good lol

Oh, I've read your post. And your answers are already all over the dev sections of this forum. Each rom has its own thread, in which users discuss said rom. There you will find people talking about stability, memory usage, etc.

Nah, I've looked through each and every one of those threads and clearly it didn't contain the information or answers I was looking for. For one, I've yet to see honest, unbiased and fair comparisons on the key differences between the ROMs. Just because you personally don't find a certain topic of discussion useful doesn't make it clutter. With that said, if you feel my thread clutters the forum, maybe you should stop contributing to the "clutter".

What specific questions about CM do you have? Post that in the CM Q/A thread
What specific questions about SlimLP do you have? Post that in the SlimLP Q/A thread
honest, unbiased comparison? So if JoeSchmoe XDA user just says "Oh, I'm unbiased", does that mean you'd believe them? Don't look for a comparision guide; Instead, look at threads and/or websites of EACH rom you are considering, and they will tell you every nook and cranny of that rom. Then, you can make an informed decision about which rom to try FIRST. Don't like it? Pick another.
You are not the first, nor the last, to post this exact thread here for the Zenfone 2, even though the phone is barely a few months old.
If you cannot take the time to gain knowledge on the process and the differences of the roms yourself, you should not be attempting to flash a custom firmware.
We are all here for the love of development and technology.
I suggest that if you want a perfect rom, that is the best of all worlds, that you take up programming and show us all how superior you are. :good:

Not true. Alot of the ROMs are still in testing, and even the devs dont even know every nook and cranny on wtf is going on. Reason I started this thread is to figure out core differences. Usually there is a de facto consensus on what is the best ROM to use on a device, but with ZF2 apparently that's not the case as each ROM is basically equivalent / derived from one another.

so what if i told you there were people here who just want the best option for their phone, and could actually benefit from a comparison guide between the list of ROMs, because *GOD FORBID* they could careless about investing their time into the development and tech side of things because:
a) they have actual jobs.
b) a life.
c) would rather spend that time trying to get laid instead of nerding it out.
