I'm looking through this thread and deciding, which ROM should I flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
Can somebody recommend me stable, smooth ROM with good battery life? I've already tried CM10 and AOKP, but I wasn't satisfied with poor battery life which these ROMs offered me. But maybe the problem is on my side, I don't know.
Could you please tell me your experiences and help me with choice?
Did you stick with the roms you tried for a few days? Only asking because most roms take a couple of battery cycles to settle down.
I'm using IceColdJelly atm and it normally takes a couple of charges for b4 the battery life improves. It may not be the best for battery life but my point is stick with a rom for a while before deciding on its performance. Plus you can always tweak the kernel settings for better battery life if it really is that much of an issue.

I've had good luck with cm10 as far as stability, unless your doing nightly builds, aokp is also good. You could always try turning down screen brightness a little if you have it all the way up. Right now I'm using galaxymod rls 14.1 and it keeps freezing at reboots, and once when I set the timer.

Yeah, I thought it should be better after month of usage, but my phone thinks otherwise
However, it seems to me that the best battery life so far I've experienced with stock ROM...
Lol, I found stock rom to have better battery than ICJ too, I just can't stand the Sense interface.
Besides you asked for a senseless rom (so stock's out) and ICJ has been the best 4 me

Try ViperX rom if you want good battery life, with a few hours of browsing on 3G and wifi, some gaming, YouTube videos etc, managed to get 4 and a half hours of screen on time
However if you really want a senseless rom, then I recommend JellyBam with NCX kernel, you can get about 4 hours of screen on time

Agreed - does come with sense but just flash the Aroma installer to completely remove sense and install a custom launcher - see thread for more details.
It's incredibly similar to how I'm using ARHD 18.1 - but I've cleaned everything out using ROM Cleaner meaning it's incredibly light. PM me if you'd like my cleaning script.
Thank you for suggestions, I'm now checking out Blade ROM, it looks promising
BTW I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something, but does it support USB OTG as stock 4.1.1 ROM do? I'm awaiting OTG cable and I'm really interested in trying this function.
Also I want to use Mass Storage mode instead of MTP, is it possible with this ROM?
Mass storage was dropped with jb, reason being is that MTP supports the phone and Usb host accessing the memory at the same time.
If you want mass storage you're going to have to go ics I'm afraid.
Usb otg is supported however I've not tried it and have heard rumors it requires external power source, can't say for certain.:thumbup:

Thanks for the clarification, now I understand why HTC renounced Mass Storage to the detriment of MTP.
Thank you, guys. I've downloaded Blade ROM and I'm going to try it. I'll see, if the battery life is really that "EPIC" as it claims Else I'll try CM10.1
I thought I read somewhere that you need to format any SD card over 64g to fat32 to make it work on jb

From personal experience, it's not a good port. It really drained my battery big time.
It majorly drained my battery. :< Is there another port working better or are we doomed to eternal waiting?
Yeah really. I'm staying on stock until CM is officially supported. That is, if it ever gets supported
You must be joking about the battery drain, mine last double the time of a stock Rom.
I read that the dsp app causes battery drain. Try removing that then see how you get on.
I also removed dev tools, terminal emulator and couple of other apps that I personally don't need, and this Rom is super fast especially when overclocked and still the battery is almost double a stock Rom.
Just the camera and slight WiFi issues then this will be amazing.
No, not joking. It lasted maybe an.hour and then died on a full charge. The phone was pretty hot as well. But no, I'll stay on stock until a more stable ROM gets released.

And i see you find it too buggy, I've pm'ed alquez for a new update with camera fixes.
you need to use the kernel too obviously and calibrate the battery after flashing the rom..

Honestly, if alquez can get the camera working, I'd gladly switch to it from using Jikantaru's XE ROM. Mind you, I'm actually liking it. The battery life is AMAZING!!! There is no dialer issue; I was on the phone for maybe 3 hours after full charge and it only went down two bars!! Dialer was at %46. Definitely staying on this ROM until something huge shows up.
^^ Tried all the roms i could get here and i can say that xe-rom is even faster then the new 2.3.5 stock one for me.I just added overclocked kernel(also jikintaru) and it's blazing fast(don't need to run benchmarks i can fell it) Tnx jikantaru for all the hard work you have done to this scene

Have a dumb question in which I am sure a lot of threads have been created about it but I cant seem to find one thread that at least displays what works on our T-Mobile variant SGS3.
What I want to know is what themes work, add-ons, tweaks, etc.
Themes: There are a lot to choose from with the "OMG 19 Themes" aroma install but there are a lot more themes that are located in the other SGS3 variant forums. I've managed to get one of the International version "Glass Theme" to work with a few adjustments. Basically it would be nice to see if there was a thread on here to show what themes work and what does not.
Add-ons:Multi-Window, Ink Effect (Multiple Colors), Pop-up Broweser, Volume Rocker Skip track, Back-To-Kill, Multi-Dpi TouchWiz apps, TouchWiz launcher features, etc...
A lot of these add-ons can be found in some of the TWRoms available but wouldnt it be nice to have a thread that gives us the freedom to have these be installed on any TWRoms?
Dumb thread I am sure but I am bored at work so....
Personally I like aosp roms such as cyanogemmod 10.1 over the touchwiz stuff, i just can't stand using the default stock sg3 rom, it's just annoying in a lot of ways. if you were to switch over to aosp i would give you suggestions on tweaks etc, i get blazing fast speeds of data at 8mb/s i get like amazing battery life, my battery usually lasts 2 days no charge before reaching 14% so I don't think touchwiz has all those features but hey I could give you one kernel that i recomend for you that also works on touchwiz, It's the kt747 kernel.
Here is link for that amazing powerful and battery saving kernel. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
make sure you download either touchwiz version or aosp kernel version because flashing aosp kt747 kernel on touchwiz rom will put u in a bootloop.
good luck

Rawdaddy,
One good app i can suggest you find on the play store is the air push detector because that app will save you from malware bastards who make bad software that pushes spam notifications to your phone that drain your battery. air Push detector is like your antivirus or firewall or the malwarebytes of the phone world. it will knwo all malicious apps after it scans them.
i also use the room toolbox lite which allows you to get tweaks mods etc and even edit buildprops but i'd be careful when editing build props or using roomtoolbox make sure you backup your current rom so if u mess up any settings then you can always go back. One of the most important things I can suggest when it comes to watching downloaded movies on your big gs3 screen phone is to use BS PLAYER, u can get it from the android app store.
I've tested every movie player out there and the only one that is perfect and can run every video well without errors is the bsplayer, if u notice mobo player u might not hear sound but see video and mxplayer vice fersa yet bsplayer can play all hd 720p movies very well. I'm an online movie downloader from scene sites.
another suggestion i recomend is to stay away from MIUI roms and also Jovy's roms such as his xperia, it usually takes Jovy about 5 release updates to get things right, i've tried his roms and data doesn't work right and after im done talking to a person the proximity sensor gets screen stuck on black.
MIUI is just complete junk, i'm a crack flasher flashaholic and I know definately that stuff need serious work for people to even consider seriously, they want to imitate the ios look but the whole things is unstable and battery life sucks.
Use Liquidsmooth Rom if you want super stabiltity.
I'm enjoying the cm10.1 and facebook is working on it just fine.
I also dont' recomend installing themes on any cm10 build, battery life will die.
For battery tips I would recomend you clear battery stats before flashing a new rom and drain your battery all the way, let it fully die then plug it in without unpluging at all until it finishes charging and you should notice great improvement.
Also don't keep battery plugged in yor charger overnight after it's fully charged because i heard that puts excess electricity in your battery and phone causing issues and your battery life won't be prolonged.
Well to be honest ive pretty much tried every rom that there is available for us to use. Ive even tried AT&T roms. From stock ics touchwiz to jb touchwiz. Ive tried most if not all aosp roms aokp roms cm roms paranoid roms pacman roms and I'm still not able to stick with one rom.
Most if not all Aosp based roms suffer from screen flickering and the wake up black screen of death. Some roms have features I like while the others have better visual settings.
I recently just went back to TW roms. Thata why I want to know what I can do to improve my experience with these roms.

Umm. There is some questionable advice in this post. Clearing battery stats? Not sure the poster understands what that does based on his other misinformation. You can leave the phone on the charger overnight without any issues. The phone recognizes the full charge and allows it to run down a bit before charging again. In the morning when you pull it off the charger it may appear to discharge fast but that is because it was not a full charge. That is not an issue. Running the battery dry is also bad info. It can damage the cells in the battery. Don't trust me. Do a little research and see if you come to a different conclusion.

Ugh I am fed up with 4.2 at the moment (Data Speeds hang sometimes). Going to try another TW Rom. AeonFluxxV5 seems legit. Any one with any themes they would like to share???
Hello hello!
So, I've had my evo for ages, (ages in modern tech terms of phones evolving, not an actually long time by human means) and, long story short, got a new phone, don't have the new phone, back on the evo.
I have the twin turbo GTR ROM and the battery life on my phone sucked. It wasn't the ROM, just letting you know that's what I have if it matters for this question!
So, I decided upon getting an extended battery. (I think 3500 or 4500 mAh, I can check when I get home, the case is fairly stuck on right now) and....I can't figure this thing out. The guide said that the phone will charge to 1,500, say 100%, but not truly be full, so you will need to leave it plugged in.....So I did, and upon unplugging it.....dropped, 99, 98, 97, all within about 10 minutes (normal for the evo, not for this new battery I would assume).
So, how do I make this work? What's the trick? I assume I can actually change the battery....settings(?) in the phone. I remember while in recovery seeing something about resetting the battery settings, and I vaguely remember something about DO NOT TOUCH THAT EVER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHY. Would now be a good time?
TL;DR; New extended battery, tips to get the most use of it? Also, since I am rooted and recoveried, what tricks can I do to make it properly read the new battery and it's larger mAh size.
****If you have a good ROM that you must recommend, or kernal, I am okay with that. I have no love for anything on my phone currently, kernel. rom, recovery, I'll replace it if you guys have good suggestions.
Thank you very much in advance!
First off, you want an SBC kernel on your ROM. Mason G if you have gingerbread, which you do, or Mason I if you're on ICS. Mazwoz's if you choose JB. Flash the appropriate kernel, charge the battery. Leave it on the charger for an extra hour for the hell of it and use it normally and let it drain fully. Recharge to full and it should calibrate. If not, there are plenty of battery calibration apps in the market.

Awesome thank you! Also, if you or anyone knows, when i was using my evo last, they just started getting ics on it. I remember 4g was broken, and it seems now with the ics and JB roms, it's the same story. Are they planning on finding fix, or is it known that 4g will mst likely only work on GB? Either way I'll reflash my stuff, make sure I have the right stuff, charge, drain, and see how that goes. I would love to use JB simply to see if project butter helps my phone. The only phones I've used it on are at least 2-6x more powerful than my evo, so I can't tell how much project butter is helping, versus the few extra Ghz and cores.

4G and FFC will likely never work. This device has been losing life at a steady rate. As far as JB, there are some good choices. With the proper set up and tweaking, it can become a daily. Well supported JB ROMs are evervolv, Mazwoz's JB, black bean AOKP, Baked AOKP, RemICS JB, and a couple others. All worth a try.

I've tried most all JB ROMs. I even developed one. They run well but still not as well as original gingerbread. The 2.3.5 kind. Not the CM7 kind. Never really liked it. Personal opinion though. If you want a perfect Gingerbread ROM, check of Decks ReLoaded or some of MBQsniper's work. As for jellybean, try the ones I listed. You'll find something you like, guaranteed.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I have used all the jb ROMs out there. They are usable if you over look the small things. No FFC, GPS, a few glitches in video. Miui is not good yet. But most all builds before 4.2 are very good and 4.2 will be there before long.
If you want a good sense with all bells and whistles sense 3.5 works. Only glitch is htcfacebook.apk but FFC GPS BT everything works. On 3500 battery 1 get 24 hr heavy use 12 hrs streaming videos. Normal use 4 days and minimal use up to 8 days. Same goes for the sense 1.0 ROMs. For me I have not had much luck with 3.0 sense.
I have flashed almost everything out over the past 2 years I have had an evo.
As far as special tricks for extended battery there recall are none. Just plug it in and use it.

I have seen a few people ask this question- (will project butter help my phone?) Well project butter isn't actually a thing, it isn't an app or a system, its more of an idea. And the idea is to make the system run as smooth as butter. You can't dig through your system and find Google.projectbutter.apk lol. It is optimizations and implications for ease of use within the new phones coming out, and likely what they implement won't help on our evos because of our aging out of date hardware.

Are you sure? I know it isn't one thing, but I very clearly remember reading that google did some sneaky tricks to get things running more smoothly, but I felt like it had to do with just basically making the hardware work more effeciently than it currently was.
"How is all of this done you might ask, well Google have used a variety of methods to accomplish it, ranging from something called “vsync timing” (which is making sure there's a consistent frame rate across all screen drawings and animations) and triple buffering, which helps the over frame rates appear a lot better. There's also a nifty system that tries to predict where you’ll go next on your device and help you get there quicker; awesome. Project Butter allows smartphones to take a bit more power from their processors and allows you to step down on accelerate right when it’s needed. "
I read stuff basically like that. I suppose the more correct question would be, will putting a jelly bean OS on my phone make it run smoother than my current GB ROM. I usually understand that the newer ROMs on older phones tend to mean more lag and whatnot, but if the project butter tweaks make it run BETTER than the older ROMs, I may want to use it.
However, I am getting my S2 back tomorrow! That will have JB on it once it's back in my hands, and that thing was silky smooth with ICS so I'm not worried.
As a general question though, have people noticed differences from ICS to JB for speed, responsiveness, and smoothness?
Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...
for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..
rc7 impress me..see the ss..with stock battery(old one)..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?
like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

beside the aosp & cm9..try queen anne's revenge or biohazard..

Queen Anne's Revenge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161091
BioHazard RoM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927428
They're just customized CyanogenMod, and i've already have problems with CyanogenMod. If i would try CM another time, i would stick to CM9 Unofficial
Even if Queen Anne's Revenge is aimed to best battery life and it's made by an italian (as me ). It's interesting...
I think i'm gonna flash one of those modified stocks! Wish me luck!
At the end of all my tests, i've decided to keep using F.A.W. (Rls 3, from the same branch of Rls 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626827
It's simply a powered Samsung stock but it's rocking stable, really fast, enough good looking and with a huge battery life!
Perfect for my girlfriend!
My S3, is charging really slow, after flashing Paranod Android, it has been charging really slow. And it even goes down sometimes while charging. i went back to stock, and it really didn't help and i have just changed my usb cable and im seeing no progress atm. Please help me!

That does absolutely nothing.
"Calibrating the battery" not only is it useless its been debunked by Google
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443108
Any "battery calibration" methods or mods even apps are useless and do nothing at all.
To OP
Are you using the original cable?
I've read that some cables charge real slow for some reason while stock cable charges fast.

I agree with you about the stock cable as well.. Some cheaper after market ones don't play well with our phones. Also make sure you use the plug in charger and not a computer to charge your phone, it takes longer to charge via the usb port on your computer.

that happened to me but i learned that the transition effect from stock or a different custom Roms has effects on how long your phone goes back to normal as in charging fast or how it used to be
so wait and let the phone do its work am sure yu'll be fine after a while devices/machines needs break or need to adapt to a new different ROMS/FIRMWARE or like migrating from XP/VISTA to windows 7/8 yu just dont expect machines (windows, linux, MACs) and Devices(android, Windows Phone, Ubuntu, IOS, Mobile) to work flowless from an upgrade or a big change in OS
go out, get some from a party ........ todays world with computers/smartphone cant let you take a breathe always on the screen
although i love using my smartphone/laptop i still travel, go to clubs, have fun with friends, do all the crazy sht a 20-30 year old can do
life is too short :silly:

Wiping the stats and the battery.bin files is as useless as using a task manager.
System is going to write it again as soon as the system boots lol.
Yeah break in the ROM. Charging might speed up. In know in TouchWiz ROMs it takes forever but on AOSP it shouldn't. Battery also improves after a few cycles.
