Is there a specific place where all roms are stored in this forum? And can anyone suggest some great battery , speed roms.
Thankyou
The subsections labeled "android development" and "original android development" house the threads containing custom ROMs for our S3s.
Every phone is slightly different. So what gets good battery for me probably won't for you. You just gotta try it.

So far I've had good experiences with both the AOKP and LiquidSmooth roms. Good performance and battery life. Then again, I had pretty good battery life with the stock rom as well.
As for roms i would suggested just reading up on them, reading the threads seeing what people are saying about it about the battery life, speed, bugs, etc. Maybe try and find a video review and then decide if that rom's for you because there's a lot and a good amount do have good battery life and performance.

I was wondering which rom out of the many available - is best in terms of battery life?? I didn't really want to start a whole new thread .. but i am looking for those here who have flashed most of the custom desire roms on XDA, I need a rom that manages battery better then most.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to have lots of answers. Unfortunately, each one, talking about one rom or the other will tell you that its rom is better that others.
I'm running a ROM developped by a single developper (Itanium 1.8 today) and the battery life is pretty good. Undervolt mod is included, several optimizations have been made for battery usage, but again, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen and OpenDesire (these are examples, not the only ROMs working fine I guess) are good at saving baterry life...
So I would say it's hard to tell, and the best advice would be for you to test several of these and find the one which best suits your needs... You might end with a ROM which might give you less battery life, but which would looks better for you and for your usage (Sense based, without Sense...).
Hope this makes sense.

thanks for the info bro I hope others will also post a comment. Although, as you said - opinions will dither, it will still be good to get an overall opinion from many XDA desire users.
Hi guys I'm pretty new to the world of Android after going through several generations of iPhones I got bored and love my GS2. Now I see that there's a bunch of roms to choose from and I was curious if there were any websites that specifically review them. In a non biased way. In reality I'm looking for the ROM that has the best battery life but is hard to know based on the individual room descriptions. Thank you in advance and thank you developers for giving us so many options.
Your best bet would be to skim the ROM threads and make a decision on which rom will suit you best based on pros and cons that users report. The number of hits each thread has gives you a vague idea of the popularity of a specific rom. Really the only person that can make unbiased reviews on these roms is you because in the end the "best rom" is entirely up to you and your specific needs

FLASH THEM ALLLLLL
Honestly, all the roms here are quick and smooth.. my DD (daily driver) right now is dewizzed + faux kernel + gideon's script (incredible battery life)
I chose dewizzed because of the simplicity of it.
people say that synergy has good battery life with dewizzed, but you might encounter a few lag stutters here and there? not sure.. im actually testing it right now.
Okay now if you want it to be more stock, i recommend Juggernaut rom, that's probably the best touchwiz rom out right now.. battery life good but not as good as dewizzed.
If you want to see what an android is capable of in a theme category, check out thursday's rom, Tuesday. I played with it for a couple hours but the purple was too much for me. great rom though.
Haven't really tried any of the rest. good luck and welcome!
Since i got my gs2 about a month ago, i flashed the bombaridier 3.5 rom and i never look back.
If battery life is ur top priority this rom iss for u. I easily get 18-20 hours with moderate use everyday. Plus its stable and fast. All i have done is put the ics theme and thats it
Give it a try, u wont regret it

If you want a site that reviews roms and gives some good advice and tricks for the gs2 then go to galaxys2root.com they have stuff for all versions. Btw i am not afilliated with the site at all, i just use it to see the roms before i flash them

ROM comparison topics are not allowed in XDA
it discourages DEVelopments
and also fuels a lot of trolling
It would be nice to have a list of how long batteries last on different rom types for different people. The premise is easy enough, but I would like to mention that I don't want to know, "What ROM is Best". Simply thought it would be nice to know what rom types have better battery life since that is the largest factor in flashing a rom (for me at least).
So, I have flashed multiple roms and have found that AOKP and AOSP have horrible battery lives on GB, but seem to last much longer on ICS and JB.
On the other hand, I see that Sense has great battery lives, but only as far as Sense 1.0.
I would also like to know why it is this way? What is it about GB, ICS, JB, AOSP, AOKP, and Sense that determines battery life.
If everyone that posts would mention what rom TYPE (eg., ICS, AOSP, AOKP, etc.) you are using, your battery life, any tweaks or mods you're using, and if you have an extended battery or not.
Hopefully this brings some clarity as to why our phones act the way they do, and how to improve battery life.
Thanks everyone.

Well.. it depends on the phone too ya know. Like guy 1 might have great batt life on gb soap and guy 2 may not.
But personally, I have great batt life with legendary 1.2. I can go about 15-18 hours with light to moderate usage
Heres a thread I started about batt life.

Oh, my bad. Wish our posts could be merged. We both had the same basic idea. I just didn't think about the screenshots. Great minds think alike.

What is the absolute best ROM for battery and speed? It's a very simple question.
There's a million ROMS to choose from, AOSP vs. TW roms and all that, but just give me your top 3 ROMS and I'll do my best to flash them.
And by speed, I just mean no lag, and by battery, I mean extended life (with greenify, and DS battery saver and all that).
I've already tried Deviant Xone but I'm having 3G issues.
THANKS!

It's up to you to find which one works the best for you. These personal opinion questions with no answer really anger the moderators. But I really liked AOKP. It got good battery life and had good performance. I just prefer TW ROMs to AOKP/AOSP. Liquid smooth was appealing, but it had a lot of bugs for me.
1. Freeza's Deodexed Stock MD4
2. Chemistry ROM (Wait until they update it to MD4 base though) It's currently 4.1.1 with multiview.
3. AOKP

anyone else have a top 3?
No there isn't. Just try them all. Devs here put amazing time and effort into each rom that gets put out. There isn't a best one. They all are absolutely amazing.

Thread closed as asking the question "what is best" always degrades into arguments about individual opinions.
Users are expected to read, study and use PM's to form their own opinions.
Hey guys, I have an old Galaxy Nexus which is currently unrooted and on stock AOSP Jelly Bean. I'm from Europe so not sure about this Sprint/Verizon mumbo jumbo. It's started to get pretty slow and battery life is quite appalling. I've visited the development forum but it's all quite overwhelming - with loads of ROMs and variants of those ROMs, plus a bunch of kernels.
I dont really care for tiny customisation or the extra features of e.g. CM, just about performance and battery. Perhaps the only thing I'd like is Screen Mirroring (which, as far as i can tell, isn't enabled on the latest Galaxy Nexus SlimKat rom). Can anyone reccomend me a good ROM/Kernel that will extend the life of this once great phone?
Cheers
You are using a maguro if you are wondering I'm sorry but the only answer is to try for yourself.. Just download a ROM and see if you like it. If you dont then move on to the next. Same with kernels. If you want maximum performance or battery tweak some stuff with trisckster. Nephilimps settings are a good starting point.

Fair enough, i might give that a crack. In all honesty, I'm sure there are multiple solutions to my request, I'm just wondering what other people had grown to be happy with, so I'm not stabbing wildly in the dark.
I'm gonna say fancy kernel and Slimkat is a great place to start. I use fancy with max frequency at 1036MHz for good battery and performance. Slimkat is small, not too many features, and it has most bugs ironed out, so it's stable. If you really want good battery, then I would use a 4.3.1 rom. Take your pick there, I recommend Vanir.
