(Q) I was wondering...

Which is the best ROM out there right now that is fast, stable, not perfect but at least good battery life, fast lock on gps and doesn't have data loss...? All your answers are great fully appreciated

Well I am still on 5.01, but it's jailbroken. It's blazing fast, ridiculously smooth, relatively stable, GPS lock is near instantaneous, and I don't have any data loss ever. I do drop calls from time to time and battery life leaves much to be desired though.

Please provide objective data to back up your subjective claim.

Blazer 4.0 is hands down the best room out there right now speed battery life everything works.
Can't wait for phantom hackers ICS ROM my mouth is watering lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

entirely a subjective question I will say codename which is aosp but other people like touch wuzz ..... try them all out and see for yourself
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

Codename is the best rom out there, except its kinda like aokp, so either of them, except aokp is based of cm9, so either of the three, except they are aosp, so maybe try a touchwiz one, but i heard that fc24 has worse battery life than fc22, but maybe if you update your profile.......whatever, flash them all

Like Epix said, it's all subjective. If you're starting out, you should probably stay with Gingerbread roms. There are several good ones, check the android development thread. I prefer Calkulin's Gingerbread (currently at v3.0) not only because of the stability but also for the stock color scheme/dialer etc. Most of the other roms are themed with different colors that are I just don't prefer.
Calkulins and Phantom Hacker's Blazer seem to be two of the most popular but you will have to try several to see what works best for you in appearance, speed, battery life and features!

[Q] Rom with best battery life?

Title about says it. If possible, with Touchwiz. I don't know why, I just like it (believe it or not). Thanks

Try Tuesday Blu ray by m & s. I get great battery life and performance with that rom

When it comes to pure battery life, I haven't found anything better then tdj digital warfare undervolted. it's about a stock as you can get in the looks dept. But the speed and battery life is just incredible. You can get 20+ hours with over 5h screen on easily.

The only ROM I have tried so far was Digital Warfare and it was very smooth and had very good battery life. I reflashed my nandroid backup though because having the T989D Telus model of the phone I get the 3G icon instead of 4G. The ROM also came with a bunch of T-Mobile apps that I don't use. I can uninstall them, other than that the ROM was great.
I hear good things about battery life while running Juggernaut or Telus Stock Rooted Lightly Tweaked. If either ROM is run with Faux Kernel and one of Gideon's UC/UV scripts it's supposed to have fantastic battery life. Still have to give it a try though.

The best battery life I've seen is my current set-up. Juggernaut 5.0 with Darkside v1 kernel. I think in most part because I can underclock Darkside to 972MHz during normal use and 1296MHz for heavy stuff without any noticeable performance issues. Truth is I could go lower for normal use but 972 seems to work for me.
If you guys are interested I could throw up a screen shot after a full pull if you want.
I'm pushing 18 hours of normal use (social apps, browsing, heavy texting and some youtube and pandora) with 30% battery left. Of course this varies but to get 22-24 hours of normal use and still not be dead is normal for me.
I've run AnTuTU but don't know enough about how these systems operate to say anything other than my score goes up when the cpu MHz goes up (shocking!!) but I can throw shots of the tests up too.
This combo is a stable as any rom or kernel combo I've run b.t.w. Much respect to TDJ and Whitehawkx for the products they turn out.

Anybody know any NICE Roms with GOOF BATTERY LIFE ?

Hey so I recently tried cyanogenmod 10 nightly for T-Mobile. It is such a beautiful rom. But after I watch like an episode of my Korean drama I lose like 30%!!! Its to crazy.. I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend a nice/cool rom with an excellent battery life comment !

As for better battery life, you'll have to try one of the many TouchWiz Roms. CM10 is still in beta hence horrible battery life. Try turning off unnecessary syncing and decrease screen brightness for improved battery life.

My settings such as WiFi is always off. I don't really know what else to turn off. I also turn GPS off.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

FrostyICS has my vote. V1 in particular. (V2 was a bit less battery friendly for me, and i have yet to try V3)
So far today I am at 13 hrs, 4 hrs of playing music (local not streaming), 2hrs screen on, and currently w/ 34% left with default sync settings. Of course YMMV as all phones behave differently.

You should do good with pretty much any Touchwiz based ICS rom. They are all good and each have their own strengths. Just check the features of each OP and try the one that sounds more like your ideal rom. Also read the last few pages to see if there are any current issues which are dealbreakers for you.
You really can't go wrong with any of them!

[Q] Questions about kernels

I'm new to Android. I made a few posts on here making that abundantly clear (lol). I am just wondering, what exact part of the OS is the kernel? For example, I'm using LiquidSmooth with the default kernel that was included with that. If I were to flash the ktoonsez kernel, what changes would I see? Also, could someone point me to a site where I can download the KT kernel for LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 JellyBean Beta 2? What other kernels are there? What are the advantages of using them? And finally, where can I find them?
I'm looking for a way to conserve battery life right now, but not take away from how my phone currently looks. Sorry for asking such a stupid set of questions, but I'd like to know about this since I plan on sticking with Android. And if that's the case, I wanna learn all about the neat things I can do to make my phone customized, sleek looking, and effective.
Thanks in advance for helping out this new comer to the Android scene

The kernel is the interface between the devices software and hardware. Its basically a bundle of drivers and code to tell the hardware and software how to communicate. All computers use a kernel from windoze to OSux and Linux. Android is based around a modified version of the Linux kernel. You won't see any visual changes when you flash a kernel. And you can find em here in the development or original development sub forums
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

Cool thanks for the detailed explanation. I never really took the time to look up the exact purpose of kernels in an OS but you just explained it to me perfectly.
So, are there any kernels that are better for say battery conservation and performance?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

That all depends on your settings and usage. Theres no one way to get the best battery and performance for your usage, mostly just trial and error trying out different settings and tweaks til you find what works for you. For a good battery performance balance undervolting and overclocking work well. For instance I'm on a note 2 and im overclocked to 1.8ghz and undervolted by 75mv across the board and get almost identical battery to stock, however I still gain in performance without sacrificing battery. Now if I drop my clock rate back to stock and keep the undervolting I get same performance as on stock but my battery life increases by a few hours.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

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.
