Hi,
I'm currently on a stock ROM but I don't have enough memory anymore to install the apps that I want so I'm finally planning to make the step towards installing a custom ROM.
Unfortunatly there are so many (Leedroid, MIUI, CyanogenMod, ...) that a noob like me doesn't see the trees through the forest anymore
What are the ROM's (+ version) that the experienced flashers over here recommend?
I have a couple of prerequisites ;-)
- good battery life
- stable & everything working (bt, wifi, gps, ...)
- fast
- shortcuts to wifi, bt, data, gps, ... in the notification area
- all apps movable to SD card
Thanks for helping me making up my mind ;-)
PS I use launcherpro so sense or no sense doesn't matter
Cheers

EDIT 06/04:
OK I've tested a couple of GB ROMS: Oxygen, Redux and CM7
Overall functionality was very good on all of them although there are still some things on GB I'm not happy with
Basically reverted back to my Froyo
Anybody got a good fully functioning Froyo rom with good battery life and apps2sd?

this is a useful post:

personal opinion on the best roms available
Root -> S-OFF -> Bravo CM7 HBOOT -> CyanogenMod 7
And you will never use anything else.
Also its not worth moving all apps to SD, because SD card is much slower than phone internal memory. And so it wont be fast then.
Oxygen 2.x drains only 1% of my battery on standby every 4 hours with wifi on. VERY stable, havent found a single issue during 1 week of intensive testing. Its very fast... I have tried faster ones but at the cost of stability/incompatibility/issues with certain apps. It checks all your boxes, I cant recommend it enough.

That's RC2 but I guess you are using a newer release? Can you post the link pls.
It def does look fast!
I don't see wifi, bt, gps, ... toggles in the notification area, is that something you can set? It's not a dealbreaker but would be nice.

Hi,
I already found a couple of posts somewhere where people were mentionning worse battery performance with this ROM. I can't remember which version they were speaking of, but have there been battery improvements on this ROM?
What's your experience with it battery-wise?
additional questions:
- can you configure the toggles in the notification area to your liking? e.g. wifi - data network - bt - gps - vibrate
- is the dialer t9?
Thx!!

I would recommend you try AuraxTSense for decent battery life with all the other things that you want from a ROM. I have used it more than anything until last night when i installed iNsertCoin HD which is also pretty smooth.
I would suggest Redux 1.1.x

i'll never change rom again

I guess you can remove the notification power widget if you choose to, maybe the user on that video did so, or maybe that feature wasn't implemented on RC2. Anyway latest version is 2.0.3, you can download it with the link I provided above and YES, there is a notification power widget included that you can configure as you like: Buttons, order, behaviour and everything.

Yeah, the battery drain issue has been fixed on latest versions, it wasnt AdamG's fault (he is the Oxygen developer), it has affected several different roms here around, kernel issue I guess. Anyway, it was very easy to fix editing wifi sleep policy options. And trust me, the battery consumption of this ROM is ridiculous. Have in mind Oxygen is made with simplicity and minimalism in mind, so you wont find any battery sucking features.
Yup, the notification area power widget is fully customizable, as I said above. In my case I removed the wifi on/off because I need it always on. I also added a button to toggle the flashlight, and the possibilities are endless.
Dialer T9? I'm sorry but I cant understand, I thought T9 was predictive stuff for text entry. Why would I need predictive text if phone numbers are just that, numbers? I guess I am confused, could you explain it to me?

Sorry, no clue, never tried that. BTW in case you are interested on installing a custom ROM, have in mind some of them require a custom MTD partition (Oxygen has its own). You can find them at alpharev.nl. Sounds much more complicated than it really is, dont be afraid.
To be completely honest, the first thing I did when I got my desire was to S-OFF it, root it, and install a custom ROM. The HTC stuff on it looked too much like bloatware to me and I love to tweak all my devices to get maximum performance.

I can then just form the name of one of my contacts using the numeric keys

AOSP ROM's from Google have no T9 dialer, but that's why the Market is for. Dialer One or Dialer2 could be a good replacement.

I am in complete agreement with Tysken91.
I am not sure I will ever be completely happy with Battery life but this is my first smartphone device and I guess I need to get used to it.
With a combination of Y5 Battery saver (to turn off Wireless), Juice Defender and the Redux 1.1.1 (RC3), my battery life is quite good.

Have tried most of the roms and found that MIUI is clearly the best!
Cyanogenmod v7.0.0 RC4 is really the best ROM i have tried so far.
But ofcourse it is very personal
hi,
thanks for the feedback... unfortunatly there's still not a clear winner apparently. I guess I expected it a bit, everybody has their own preference.
I've heard good things battery-wise about redux and oxygen so I think my choice will be one of these, anybody any good arguments why one is better then the other?
I really like Go Launcher currently but it's a bit laggy on my stock sense rom, so anybody had any experience with this launcher on any of these ROM's?
I've followed the noob guide with success, I've just partitioned my SD card

I'm running sms by rsk ROM, which is nice and stable, has the brilliant amaze cam (I like the panorama mode) and sticks everything on my 16gb sd card, so I don't worry about app storage.
Only problem I have, and it's a biggie, is battery life. I carry 2 spare batteries with me to see me through a day, lots of facebook, a bit of kindle, occasional angry birds..
So, what am I doing wrong? Should I change to a different rom, or a setting somewhere?

I don't know if I have been spoiled by Nokia, because I had a Nokia E72 with a tiny screen a 1500Ah battery (Two days connected with EDGE/Wifi updating Whatsapp and Gravity).
I just need Whatsapp and any Twitter application running al the time.. 3G or HSPDA is not a must, I could live with EDGE for battery saving.
I have tried:
Stock 2.3 ROM
Oxygen COS'ed
CM7 RC1
Minwild 4.9 CM
I don't care about fancy widgets and so... I just want battery life... sometimes I use the screen with 10% brightness!
Please, help me! Help will be highly appreciated.
PD: Moto RZR MAXX is too expensive
PD2: I'm using lastest radio and have not messed with Kernels, always using the one that comes with each ROM.
PD3: Testing is so easy, I wonder if someone have done that before? Install ROM, install whatsapp and twitter, config, fully charge, see it discharge and take the time and try with another ROM, right know I don't have the time, but that's what I want to do...!
Bets regards.
Far as I know those roms aren't exactly power hungry.
ManU kernel is recognized for batter saving.
You can use with MildWild CM version.
For oxygen I think you have to use thalamus kernel.
I'm using Oxygen V4 MildWild with latest thalamus kernel and with normal use (wifi once in a while but usually switched off, some browsing, some phone calls, some texts and even a little game once in a while) it lasts me a full day. If I play too much, the battery can last as three hours (with bat, intensive games).

Which ROM uses ManU kernel? I'd like to try that one.
Right now I'm using Oxygen Cosed with Thalamus (I think)
I dont think there is a rom that uses ManU kernel by default. But as long as a rom is based on CM7 I believe you can replace the default one with ManU.

Not entirely true. Oxygen rom and those that use it as base need to use Thalamus kernel. Using ManU on Oxygen roms for example will break your camera.

The best rom for battery, performance and stability is none other than GINGER VILLAIN. If you look at the screenshot most of juice is gone into display as I like 100% display. I am sure you can save further battery with switching off wifi, mobile data, gps, vibrations, display etc. But this rom is pretty much beating other rooms. Only problem people find is there are no future updates for this rom. If you looking for above all then go for this rom.
Hit thanks if it helps you.

And that would be about 50% correct. The rom does play an important role on battery consuption.
I know you asked about ROMs, but if you dont mind a thicker phone you could also consider an extended battery. I'm using a Cameron Sino 2400MAH battery, cost me £7 from Amazon UK and I get between 30 - 38 hours out of my Desire, depending on use. That's with ICS for Desire by Sandvold installed.
I cant post links yet but take a look at batteryboss.org and it mentions it as being "not a bad deal".
ICS works fine for me
I use the BCM - Ice Cream Sandwich from CM9 Source and it works fine for me. Been up for almost 16 hours with decent usage and pretty poor cell signal the whole time.
The lowest battery drain I've had was using Mildwild's Oxygen Based. Nearly 2 days of battery with pretty decent usage. See the attachments below: you might found them a bit dark cause they were made with screen filter at 50%.
- During night, phone had 2G (GPRS).
- Screen on-time: 3 hours, above 50% usage.
- Always with WiFi or HDSPA (3G) excepts during nights.
With battery perfectly calibrated (it shutdowns at 0%).
Hi!
Im thinking on using a custom rom.
My phone usage is average and I dont play games.
I would like to have Android 4.2.2, and also, better battery life would be a plus.
I have been watching some roms (IceColdJelly and Viper, specially), which I liked.
Would those roms improve battery life? Or they would decrease battery life?
Should i use a custom rom?
Thanks in advance!
just try it ...just try and look which one of those would be the best for you...no one can say whats better...just download, try and look...if one isn't good as you want then flash another there are many roms to try
I'm using CM10.1 , it's based on AOSP and it has the latest android 4.2.2 and the latest kernel 3.1.10

the usage of battery is related to many things, how much CPU do the ROM uses, do the phone get a good signal or nor, how bright is the screen, do you leave BT or WIFI on? and the most important .. do your phone get enough sleep (deep sleep) or there's something that keeps the CPU running?
so it depends on the ROM and you
I advice you to read reviews and change logs of the ROMS you like before flashing
you can flash a custom kernel to get more battery life, though I recommend you to stick to the ROM's own kernel
cletus8 said:

you MUST
I wouldn't say Viper would improve your battery as such, but installing a Custom ROM / Kernel definitely would.
Try a few, see which one suits you most. Then stick with it.
Same with the kernel, a kernel makes most difference to battery IMO.

You'll have to consider the pros and cons of flashing a custom ROM , you don't only get 4.2.2 , you also get the mods and tools
in CM10.1 (for example) you get way more than just the AOSP
launcher control , lock screen options, hardware keys control, themes, system control (status, quick settings, notification light and back-light controls, swipe to unlock, power menu, fast charge, profiles, new languages, aosp keyboard, performance control (change CPU governor and clock speed), memory management , surface improvement an a lot MORE!!!!

Here is the dilema:
Currently I am using the latest RR5.8.5. It is the final version of Nougat and will not be updated. I am quite happy with this rom. The only problem is that I can not use the latest HDR+ google camera (always FC). It seems that the AOSPA is the best compatible rom with HDR+ google camera. But as far as I know, there is no quick charge feature in AOSPA. All the Oreo roms are still at the early stage with huge amounts of bugs. I don't want to return to EUI 5.9 (marshmellow) either since it is not officially supported anymore. Do we have a good rom with both QC and HDR+?
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

I do also have fc with omni
Just my take , I had onnia for a while however it was not compatible with all variations of Google camera. Switched to paranoid and got better call column and every single modded Google camera app I have installed has worked. Also quick Charing works great. While charging your led flashes letting you know it's in a wyci change state and when it goes back to normal speed your led.goes solid, which usually happens around 90%

Can you describe what this means? it's not clear.
Edit: Nevermind are you referring to battery life?
If so, it was better with stock. However, in my opinion the stock rom was too restrictive. For example, I missed alot of notifications while using the stock rom.
Next, I installed Greenify with root using Magisk. : With excessive usage my battery life is at least one full day and with casual usage the battery will last for days.
With Paranoid, quick charge is incredibly fast. In fact, much faster than what stock provided.

I can but not at the moment. I just woke up and checked my battery that was fully charged 6 hours ago and it's still at 99%.
See screenshot, and I will send another one at a the end of the day.
FYI, I did not save any battery records from when I was using stock, nor did I make any effort to studiously track and graph out usage. My comments are based on my best estimated guess.
In my opinion, current battery life using Paranoid is better than any other phone that I have personally used and I have over 100 apps installed, including substratum.
I also use the phone for some multi-track audio recording, some games, a lot of YouTube and a lot of music listening.
I don't really pay a lot of attention to battery life because it is has been a non issue. Obviously the battery will last much longer if I am just listening to music or just talking on the phone.
After I installed, paranoid I noticed battery life was slightly degradated, so I installed Greenify.
On a typical day of heavy usage, the battery life will last from wake until bedtime: 17-18 hours, and still have 20 to 30 percent left when connecting it to the charger.
Next, I have not timed the quick charge. But I estimate that it will charge from 20% to 90% in approximately 30 minutes. Which in my recollection is much faster than charging using the stock ROM.
At the end of the day, it's totally worth switching from stock to a custom ROM. In my experience, Paranoid is a great option. I haven't tried the Omni ROM.
From what I have read, Paranoid is one of the few Roms in which everything works.
Although paranoid has 4 themes built in. Substratum allows a greater degree of control with theming. Again, battery life is very good and If you don't like the ROM there's many options. Plus it's very easy to just go back to stock.

Don't forget that we have BlackScreen kernel which works on many different roms. Its Alucard governor is very good to the point I ditched Advanced Governor Tweaks. It had idle drain issues but fixed since a few months ago. I highly recommend it.

Thanks, I haven't tried black screen, and actually didn't realize that it included such a wide range of governors. Personally, I do not really need to micromanage my settings and battery usage. But its nice to know that we have such an amazing tool available. for our phones.

Is it based on EUI 5.9.023s? I don't want to go back to Marshmellow because I really appreciate the HDR+ google camera. It is amazing!
