I vote juggernaut 5.0. Got 30 hours with 4.5 hours of screen on time with that baby.
Btw prepare for flameage from our wonderful xda hypocrite brethren. No one on here likes open ended questions.

darkside's digital warfare imho....could get a day & a half with moderate use easily. really though, anything with gingerbread should last you at least the day with this phone

I'd say the ROM doesn't particularily matter in regard to battery life. As long as you have a rooted rom, your best bet would be to use a CPU tuner to underclock your device using usage profiles for maximum battery life.
For gb i found juggernaut and synergy. Ics kernel development is underway though so we will find out soon enough. I believe tdj released his tmobile build with venom kernel.

Darkside all the way. On ics and in gb too

TDJ roms
I have tried so many roms and always ended up installing/restoring TDJ roms.
either GB or ICS, his roms are always fast, functional and smooth daily drivers IMO.
you can't go wrong with TDJ roms. give it a try.
I suggest juggernaut for gb. It gave me on average 16-19 hrs of battery life. Darkside is really good to for ics. Although for me it hasn't given me such great battery as juggernaut. BeastMOD 5.0 is another one that in my book give the BEST battery life. I could go more then a day with moderate use.i miss it:/ lol

Any of the CM7 based roms by Eugene or Beastmod 4.0 by Melvin.
Its very subjective based on your phone, kernal used and how you use your phone. I have seen the best battery life with TDJ roms and now recently I am running Chimeria vs Hercules and batter life is pretty good.

[POLL] What is your daily driver?

Hey guys, just take a poll as to what your daily driver is. Which ROM you have running the most. You can only pick one. Thanks for your time!
Lol. For the past week, I've been flashing a ROM a day. I wish there was that perfect ROM like Juggernaut 2.3.6 . It had AOKP with MIUI addons and a load of other stuff

Yep I got version 7 with faux 11 underclocked with the voltage app and running smooooth. Battery life is great too.

Ive tried all the major ones, and for ICS based ROMS Jedi Mind Trick v7/v8 and TDJ's ROMS have been the best. That said, after a few days on ANY ICS ROM Ive tried I start getting anomalies that make it frustrating, so for now Im back on Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7. That seems to be my go-to ROM and I have never had one issue with it. I sacrifice a little snappiness, but for me its flawless and bulletproof.
AOKP fan here. I had the milestone 6 for the longest time.
Just trying out JMT since last week until AOKP-JB becomes stable.
Jedi Mind trick is my favorite but I was loving clones and drones when I was on it both are fast and stable

smooth and stable for me like charm

CM10 super lite 91mb ROM I have NO issues. NOT one on the Hercules version of it. Just as stable and reliable as flashing any gingerbread ROM with the speed of jelly bean.

I've been on ParanoidAndroid for a while now... But I will say the potluck version is a damn good cm10 rom for us Hercules owners. The most stable of all regular cm10 roms as all others had issues, his was very stable and good.

Looks like its going to be beastmade for a while for me
I've been using the latest CM10 nightlies by EricWill ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852105 ) updating almost daily and its been great. Got a few SODs but its mostly been in the morning before I head out and a quick restart as I get in my car is sufficient. Aside from that small bug it's been great with me
Darkside Evolution 3v8! Easily the Rom of the year. Version 4 isn't a slouch either.

Telus ICS Stock Rom for now
I've tried 4-5 roms since i bought my phone 4 weeks ago... and i'm always coming back to my nand backup of my stock rom because there'S always small things i'm not happy with every roms i tried...
Jedi knight 2... One of the best UI with SIII addons but got Launcher freezes 5-6 times a day for 30 seconds...
Clones and Drones... AccuWeather bugs on Lockscreen... ask in Celcius but got temp in Farenheit even with the small C besides and always show wrong city...
Koodo v.4.0.4 v3... this one was almost perfect for me but have poor data speed with Fido on 4G
Jedi mind Tricks V8 ... poor battery life...
But gonna continue to try others and coming back if there's new version of what i already tried...
thanks to all devs for the good work...

Jedi mind trick or Jedi knight 2?

I noticed the same dev makes both roms and from screen shots I can't tell a difference.
Does anybody know the difference between these 2 roms?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Honestly I had the same question in mind.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Mind Trick is based off 4.0.3 and Knight is based off 4.0.4
I prefer Mind Trick because its been around longer and feels a bit more stable and agile (because the dev had more time to work on it).

May be with his experience built a better ROM than JMT
Ive used both as a daily driver and while both work great, i found myself leaning to the JMT. Both felt stable but the JMT ROM was [email protected] vs stock for JK. great ROMS both of them.
Jedi Mind Tricks. Jedi Knight 2 on the full is hardcore bloated but runs with no stutter and the Jedi Knight 2 Slim seems to stutter more. If you want the official note pop up video player, go Jedi Knight.
Jedi Mind Trick is a NICE ROM! Great battery life and REALLY stable! The Jedi Knight ROM is not as stable but has better BATTERY life!
Hope this helps!
I used both and for me both are great, no stutter or fc on them.
I lean toward JK2 just because is 4.0.4.
In the end, just try both of them and see if one it's better for you.
:good:

Next launcher, opinions?

So I just saw this on the play store and was thinking about giving it a try, but its a not a cheap launcher. I've paid that much for spb years ago and im still disappointed with it.
Anyone tries next and what do you think of it?

Its not that smooth with our dual core devices. There aren't a lot of features, but for aesthetics its really nice.
It is really smooth. And i mean really smooth. But thats about it. Most of the eye-candy animations are just used and seen in the setting up process. When you decide what goes where, how many pages you will have and what goes in which folder. You do not have much control over how you phone will be styled. They have already decided for you.
16 bucks I don't think so. Not with what all it comes with. I mean it's all nice and looks smooth but just not worth it to me.

Ill keep an eye on it. But like I said, spb I've been waiting years for it to get bbetter and I still don't care for it

If nova and rom toolbox is less than 5 dollars, nothing should be over 3 unless it's on the same level as nova and rom toolbox apps. Spbshell didn't even offer a damn trial.

I'm an apex person myself, they have more options in my opinion. But I have the paid version of both
Sent from my liquid smooth t989
It's a nice but very complex launcher... If you don't wanna go through tons of menus to get your apps on the homescreen... don't use it. Lol.
It looks nice, but not many features and no landscape mode, not worth the $16 in my opinion, at least not yet.
I've literally tried everything and I seem to like adw launcher ex the best! It's all I ever use...

Honestly, why get a launcher (from the play store) that is going to use up your battery, if you want a smooth launcher than find Rom that you think has the features you want/need.

Then make one, or ask a dev to implement it in there next Rom. Or get any Jedi Rom. They are really good.
Edit: also, you needing all these features are wasting way too much battery. I used apex before and got 20% less battery power per hour.

Yeah why use this launcher when Nova or Apex does the job and is quicker? It consumes less battery, less CPU, but lacks the flashy aspect. Personally, Nova Launcher is the greatest (got it when it was 0.25$) and it does the job. Only reason I'd use this launcher or TSF Shell is to show off to others.
I was just asking about the launcher. And as far as what I need to save battery is my business. I don't cook roms and I'm not gonna ask an already busy developer to use the launcher I want (apex) for my personal choice when a lot of them use nova ( which i have the pro version of too). The Jedi roms are great roms, I'm about to flash a new one to try it out here in an hour or so. But I'm stuck on liquidsmooth cause it is what I want in a rom ( with apex added or course) and I have it themed the way I like it.
If I wanted to cook my own rom I'd use a Jedi rom strip the launcher add apex and convert the theme I'm using to work on ics
Sent from my liquid smooth t989
Its ok, but I rather stick with Go Launcher instead.

Stable JB ROM

There are so many roms out there . Which has the longest battery life and smooth for daily driver.. Using stock rom , I am getting 7 hours .
I'm enjoying slim bean unofficial. Way better than seven hrs for sure. I'm using kernel that comes with it but hear good things about lightning, nibbles, hotcakes should be able to use one of them to further battery life
