what is the best ics rom with better battery life?

Paranoid android the working one

I found CM9 runs well but my only issue with it is the battery drain and lack of camera.

RemICS 1.3 without fix i think is the best, almost 18 hour and battery still about 20%, but the last one not very stable, n the battery not really good too

Battery life should be the same on all ICS roms because they all are based on arco's CM9.

Ummm, shouldn't it be similar but not exactly the same I mean when I use paranoidandroid and CM9 both of them drain my battery alot more than the GB custom ROMs but CM9 drains less then paranoidandroid. Not sure about remICS since I haven't tried it yet.

Hi,
This is my first post. For me the alpha 4 from Arco is the better.

My Defy Disappointment... no luck finding good rom

Hello
I've stop counting after 2000 hours spending flashing roms on my defy...
I came to a conclusion that no ICS/JB version will be good. everything I've tried eventually ended up with a slow rom that interfere daily use.
so I'm a bit disappointed about it cause I had to get back to CM7.2.
I've searched all over the net - what is the fastest rom for defy...and all forums say it's the CM7.
If someone can think of other version that works faster please let me know.
I really need FAST phone, and willing to flash an old rom, but to get stability and speed.
thanks for helping!
and thanks to all dev's that gave their souls in order to bring the newest rom to that old phone.

Try this rom :

Already tried that before posting :victory:
anyway, it is a bit slower than latest Quarx Build.
korto is right:

I tried V5 and V5.1. Both are based on Quarx 0409. V5.1 is supercharged, and is slower then original Quarx.
Rom has AOKP weather icons and some tweaks and cherries. Apex is default launcher, battery life is worst than original.
There are 3 versions for defy+, normal, overclocked and undervolted.
Good rom but latest Quarx`s nightly is much fluid.
Developer of this rom (Defy +++ from Androidhilfe) will released next version based on latest Quarx in couple few days.

the problem with ms2g is that after a while, it start to be sooo sloooww....
I was using ms2g for a long time...really liked that rom.
I think you all just need to admit what morotola realized long time ago... the defy cannot support further then GingerBread..

Try paranoid android its fast and almost stable.

Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.

Gaming roms

Is it better to play games with GB roms, or ICS roms? If possible, state the rom
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

IMO if u like GB then use the baseband ver. XXLM8 its smooth but if you like ICS then use CM9 by arco..

Personally, i tried CM9 and GB and there is really a huge difference in gaming... CM9 is really not that excellent in terms of gaming, but how is the BETA version?

I think the most stable rom for gaming is still the gb because ics for our device is just released and still take time for other games to adapt to our ics based.
Sorry if i'm wrong just saying my opinion

I'm not a pro gamer, but imho CM9 works much better with games than stock GB ROM (less lag, more fluid gaming experience).

JB or ICS ROM with best battery life and speed?

I'm going nuts trying to find the best ROM for Gio. Most of the people say that JB and ICS ROMs drain battery. And it makes no sense at all to have a phone that you can't use. Please help me to find best ROM for Gio. Or should I try 2.3.x ROMs like Adrenaline or sth?

try maclaw's ICS or MMB AOSP ics rom.they are fast and have better battery life and a smoother performance.
about JB,try CM10.1 by oldroid its fast but has some kinda lags in the rom
for gingerbread try Enhanced 236,adrenaline rom or S'perience final rom they are fast and have battery life good :good:

So what about maclaw's ICS or MMB AOSP ics's battery lives? Which one do you recommend?

I didn't experienced MMB ICS but I can tell you that Maclaw's ICS has better battery life then old droid JB

I think that MMB ICS is faster than maclaws, but you should try them by yourself.

I'am using olddroid's CM10.1 i can use it much longer than maclaws ics (except wifi is on)..

R: JB or ICS ROM with best battery life and speed?
Olddroid cm 10.1 has good battery life. More than ics. Try it!

for me slim ics... i've flashed this rom to my firends phone he is very satisfied with the performance and battery life...

I checked slim ics and I think of using it. But some people report that radio and camera don't work for them. Do you know anything about it?

For me Maclaw CM9 was good, now I use 10.1 by OldDroid and its also good - hope next realase will fix some lags and we see the greatest ROM for our GiO

CM 10.1 by OldDroid for sure!

Yes it is. :victory:

battery is good. one thing i don't like about that ROM is the RAM usage. it eats large amount of RAM so it is not recommended for gaming.

Should I stick with 4.3 or move on to 4.4?

Hey there, I'm currently running the Cataclysm ROM on my Galaxy Nexus, and I'm super happy with it. But I was thinking of moving to CM 11 (not sure if official or unofficial).
How is it in terms of stability, bugs, speed, battery life, etc, compared to 4.3?

The 4.4.2 cm11 rom its very stable now, i recomend you to upgrade to KitKat now, works fine and fast, and so beauty
Sorry my english

CM11 with ART is fantastic, but you'll have to make up your own mind on battery life.

What do you mean? Is battery life worse on 4.4?

I highly recommend PlayfulGod's unofficial CM11 build. Battery life is great (almost 3 hours screen on time with undervolt and mpokang kernel) and it is stable enough to use as a daily driver. It has made my Galaxy Nexus faster than ever

I'm curious about this too. I just flashed 4.4 Slimkat and battery life seemed to be worse, but I thought it was because I was playing more with it.

You pretty much nailed it on the head. The more you do the worse battery is. Its that simple. Battery life isnt the same for everyone since everyone uses their phones differently.

imho Android 4.4 is the best update since 4.0.
The new RAM management is awesome and makes my GNexus run like on the first day
CM11 is pretty stable, too.
It's too bad that many developers leaving the GNexus and move on, because I'm still missing some features (like HOLO, Active Display, ...)
And it's a shame that Google isn't updating the stock rom, because like I said, the GNexus is running way better with 4.4 than it was with 4.3.

I made a change to 4.4.2 CM11 and it is really awesome! Transition is very simple compared to HTC Sensation. It works great !
