Hi,
I wonder if i should switch from CM7 to ICS/Andromadus.
is Andromadus ready for exeryday use yet? (i don't mind a few bugs, glitches or even a freeze a week. But i need a working phone)
how does it compare to CM7? (battery life, performance)
is CM9 worth a try? (there is no official build or is there?)
i've tried these three roms and know i've Andromadus beta 3
cyano 9 has got a lot of bugs and make a lot of freeze (with beta 3 i've got 3 freeze in 6 hours)
the battery with Andro goes well, nothing special but the performance are excellent
you have to try it

I think my battery has been lasting less since I flashed andro. Anyways I think it's the best rom out, so I'll keep staying with it and its test builds...

I believe yes, it is certainly ready for everyday use. I haven't gotten many glitches/freezes since beta 2 (even then a glitch or reboot might happen once a week max). Pretty much everything works (mms, camera has no preview glitch, etc).

IMO it's an upgrade feature wise. Many system apps and functions are just more polished IMO (contacts, dialer with google voice integration, etc). Battery life is noticeably worse than CM7 but I am still able to get through a day with no issues (my CM7 battery life ranged from 28-36 hours while Andromadus seems to be more like 19-28 depending on my usage).

Andromadus merges nearly everything from CyanogenMod's ICS branch (I think). This is apparent in the system settings such as lock screen customizations, notification bar toggles, etc. YES, it's worth a try!!
Andromadus. At least til cm9 comes out

Cyanogen himself has a desire z so we'll get a official build when HTC stops dragging there feet and releases the desire hd kernel source.
That aside I too was a little iffy about flashing Androdamus being that there were a lot of bugs in the earlier beta's, So I waited a few months I'm glad that I did its good enuff to be used as a daily driver now. Depending on your battery (I bought a htc extended one over a month ago) the life will vary on heavy usage I get about 4 to 5 hrs, On Moderate I get 8 plus.
Andromadus is a HUGE upgrade from CM7 not only is it a newer version of Android but everything is more organized as far as settings and features go. Flash it if u don't like it you can always go back. . .
I stuck with CM6 until a week ago, tried CM9.
(totally skipped GB).
I flashed the CM9 and Andro ROMs.
I stuck with Andro since the camera actually worked...
So far - way less battery life, laggier than CM6 (our phones don't have the HP needed it's snappy enough for everyday use, it's just... you know, it's not like a dual core 1.4GHz phone). Lots of little bugs (missed notifications? can't use google voice / gtalk voice, graphical glitches sometimes, crashing programs, hanging) but if you only use a few apps and browse simple sites / check news it's not so bad.
Since you're on XDA it's almost safe to assume this won't phase you too much. It's not "THAT" bad, but it is definitely not like a commercial release yet. Many many things being worked out BUT it's definitely "usable".
I'm still using it It's just very annoying to have to update reimport contacts etc when new versions of the ROM come out. (I don't use contact sync). It's also annoying because of the app crashes or things that "don't work" like instagram etc. However, it looks way better than froyo!
If all your looking for is pretty, just use gingerbread with an ics theme

Dear friends,
I have had some problems with my battery, as you can check here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659525
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.

What do you mean by breaking the camera? I suppose only software...!
Thanks for letting me know that, I was going to flash ManU kernell with Oxygen Cosed! So I'll flash it over MinWildCM.
There is a lot of reading about roms but not about kernels!

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.
Cheers

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%).
In this topic i wanna tell you my experience.
As you know stock roms keep battery very good.
So
1.Install your regions stock rom
2.Install phiexz kernel
3.convert FS to ext4
4.and edit framework:
in the latest stock roms framework-res.apk is deodexed
Decomile it then delete uneeded languges then compile it with comperession level9
Finaly replace it into phone
Now you have a stock rom without any bug and with the best battery life, The performance is also very good.
Then callibrate battery and use the phone at least for one week.then u will see the lifetime of battery
Dont forgot using task killers.

i actually can`t complain about the battery life, i can get aprox 2 days if i don`t play on my GIO, and i think it`s ok. The strange thing is that my dad has an Samsung Y and he doesn`t play on the phone, only conversations and he actually gets about a week of battery life...
PS : he is on stock firmware
It has weaker display resoloution.
So keeps more power.

Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.
I rooted my phone and installed REM ICS.But i'm not happy with it.Because it has a few problems
In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.
p.s. : I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance. :good:
CyanogenMod Alpha 8 version should be good to you
but you have the SMS to MMS converter on everyrom (i think) & touchwiz
but normally in options you can adapt it
good batterylife & performance
Or BioHazard has it all (based on cyanogenmod)
just flash the ROM + extra sms file (to get normal sms lay-out) - Biohazard customisation - good batterylife & performance (& touchwiz)
has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

Ive been using SGW for a lot of time now, when i had the stock rom i used ADW laucher for the menu. As for the battery life, keep 3G turned off or install JuiceDefender, it turns on 3g every X minutes, instead of keeping it on all the time. It also adjusts the brightness. My battery would last nearly 3 days that way with moderate calling.
Hugs.
Also i wonder if there is something wrong with my original samsung charger.When i charge my phone with its original charger, battery drains quickly (%85 in 2.2 hours).But when i charge it with my friend's htc's charger it downs to %97 in 2 hours.Just weird.

As I know Rebel ROM is not coming with a TW launcher, you may try Black Notes Last Page if you wish, it came with a TW launcher, just for your info, in Black Notes, you would have to reboot your phone after running the 99SuperCharger init.d script, as it may cause you unable to receive your message, but it wouldn't really affect you if you don't run the script. Hope it helps.

Are you using the USB cable as charger? That one will be much slower than the charger. For a decent battery life, I would recommend you to use a GB ROM with Juice Defender at this moment, because the battery life for CM9 may be vary from version to version at this moment.
I use its original charger (mini USB).I installed rebel rom it seems like it's okay.But i'm not sure yet.
Ok it sucks more i know it now.SMS problems,slow browsers,performance sucks
Looking for good battery life? Most of the GB roms provide good battery life. Not so sure with ICS roms, right now. If you don't mind using GB rom, i would recommend you MUTANT ROM, not bad.

If you are looking for an economical premises ROM battery GB ROM only the best in my opinion.
I myself have come back to GB after I felt in CM9 b8 only for reasons of battery.
I myself use kezra v4 final ROM, kernel xxlm8. And what you need everything works fine here.

Also, try upgrading baseband. Older baseband might have bugs that made it too aggressive and/or not smart enough to tune power usage.
Back in the CM9 thread, someone posted that he experienced a great boost in battery life after upgrading baseband.
Word of caution: make sure that the newer baseband is compatible with your country's networks.

Simple Question. Why are you using the ROM and Kernel that you are using. What does it give you that makes you stick with it?
ROM: - CyanogenMod 11
The most popular ROM available. Has some really good features and provides quick updates. Though I am thinking of switching to another ROM because it's become real slow now.
Kernel - - DirtyV
Definitely the most popular Kernel on the forums now. Much faster than CM stock Kernel. Battery life is average.
ROM - Dreams – Because it's my built and it has everything what I need.
Kernel - AOSPA kernel with some minor changes by me – Because I don't flash custom kernels. ––Soon 3.4 kernel when it works on tuna!
I've tried several roms and ultimaetly, I got tired of flashing a new rom every week (sometimes 3-4x a week) and I landed on Vanir with their stock kernel.
It's not amazingly great, but it will do until I found one that better.
Anyone?
Have tested every ROM to date from 4.2 to 4.4.2 and I still have been using PA 4.1.2 ROM w/Zen kernel combo for the past 1.5 yrs, since it's the only one that works exactly like I want and also stable.
Main features being full tablet mode w/status/navigation/notification bar all at the bottom(if needed) but mostly used in extended desktop mode w/out the crappy built-in ROM PIE Controls, fully functioning stock browser:
LiquidSmooth - many features but no slowdowns like on some other ROMs
Fancy or DirtyV - constant and frequent updates to make them even better

How old is your battery?
Cause it shouldn't be much older then mines and I'm still getting a full days worth of battery life from 4.1.2 ROM.
That's including 40+ mins of BT audio streaming in the car(BT is never ever toggled off), 20+ mins of talk time, all play store updates are auto over data, push email, weather/stock widgets update every 30 mins on home screen and screen set to auto brightness.
Might be worth it to buy a replacement battery.

I never bought another battery, so its around year and 7-8 months. I would buy it but Im thinking to buy new phone soon anyway so thats the reason I stuck with this poor battery. And I know battery is not that old but I charge it like 2 times at least everyday, maybe thats the reason it lost some of its capacity.
Anyway, your resulsts are amazing, espcialy BT turned on all time
