best rom/kernel for battery life?

I'm on Franco with aokp milestone 4. Personally I think the battery life is rancid. Any better options?

Try a few....

The good thing about this part of xda is that people don't make a big fuss if someone makes this kind of post. Unlike the Galaxy S II forums.
I use Foxhound 0.2 and franco.kernel. Lasts me the entire day from 8am to 12am.

I thought the good thing about this part of xda was that people didn't make these kind of threads. The nexus s forum was riddled with this kind of thing.
Is it so hard to look through rom and kernel threads and read peoples posts.
Why should people get answers without making the effort to find out on their own.
It only takes a few clicks.

running the leaked 4.0.4 with the latest lean kernel and its the best battery life i have seen yet . All radios and bootloader updated as well. Lean kernel settings , hotplugx , 1200-350 , standard voltage that comes with the kernel

No one has made any sort of test or extensive trial of the kernel and rom combinations for best battery life.
For my usage franco.kernel nightly 98 is working perfectly well with Liquid rom, but that might be different for your uses, and it might be different because you like to undervolt, or overclock and undervolt, and you use different programs in the background. etc.. etc.. etc.
If you would like to know the best combo, try them all and do tests. Maybe write it all down and come back. Hopefully nobody would have changed their rom or kernels in the meantime.

Nah, it's about time this forum will get clustered with these kinds of posts because more people are buying the phone and think they are so important that they need to make a new thread dedicated to their phone. As said in my sig, I encourage people to use search whenever possible, but I'm not the kind of person to diss another person when they don't use it

I read several posts stating franco.kernel was good for battery life so I have been using it, but in my experience of the past couple weeks this is not true at all; I definitely do not get better battery life out of franco.kernel.

And this is exactly why this kind of thread is pointless.
X amount of ppl think Franco has good battery.
Someone posts here saying it doesn't.
Who is wrong? No-one.
Its all about the user. Plain and simple. Everyone's habits are different.
I wasn't dissing the guy, my first post said it all "try a few"
You will never know which kernel is the best until you try them yourself.
Half the fun of xda is flashing and trying new ****!

Same for me, in addition to other problems when running his kernels
The best combination I have tried so far is BAMF Paradigm ROM and Popcorn kernel. Using the gali something or other governor with just a few changes to it speedup.

Ooookay, I wasn't going to reply to similar thread, but since no one seems to be throwing out suggestions, here's mine from yesterday. There's more in that thread.

[Q] Best ROM ?

Hi i am absolutely new to flashs,mods and so on.
So my question is ... what ROM is probably the best in terms of speed, stability and especially USABILITY for my galaxy nexus GSM ??? and dont really like the stock ones, so maybe someone can suggest a really good custom one ....
pls help me !
kind regards from
3pikur

I prefer AOKP with Glados Kernel.

It has been said before that there is no "best" ROM, every user has different preferences and requirements in a ROM. Try them all.

Realistically speaking, it is impossible for one to sit down and try every ROM. Because in order to fully experience the ROM you need to have it installed for a couple of days to conclude.
The best way to find the best 'ROM' is to look at the thread and read it's features. Read the first couple of posts, then start reading posts backwards. Like what you see? then try out the ROM.

Ok thanks Buddys ... i just try it out ... Maybe i find one fitting my imagination.
peace to y'all

Well i have tried a lot also spent some bucks getting things trying to get better and after all that i figured that nothing its better than a stock image rooted in the long way Google fix the glitches and bugs and the system its way more stable and reliable

Well its not impossible.. And you're right a few days of having each one installed is necessarily to draw a conclusion. What I meant was try them all that you find appealing. I wouldn't expect anybody to flash one that they didn't like the looks of just to "try them all" lol.

I prefer more customization than stock. I was on stock for months and finally got tired of it recently. I flashed AOKP and have really been enjoying all the extra options like the toggles and the custom batteries and such.

Lol who knows. Someone might take the wrong way and actually download every single one of them and try them if they have the time to do so

No best rom. However, you can use this as a reference point: I am using AOKP b29 with Morfic's Trinity Kernel and all is smooth and great battery life.

I am quite sure there are plenty of people who have time to download and try each one of them...

I usually start by thinking of the specific options and customization that I want. From there just spend time looking at all of the roms available and if they contain what you want. If you can't find anything that way start flashing until you find what you want.

Not everyone has the leisure to do that because there are so many ROMs and kernel combinations. The chances of testing EVERY single little thing with the same variables such as reception, apps, background data, usage (heavy, moderate, minimum usage), these are just many of the variables that affect battery life.
By the time you complete that task, something newer will be out. It's like asking, "what's the best phone?" are we going to buy every single phone and try it? No.. we're going to look at user feedback and draw our own personal conclusions on which is the best for us because there is no best phone/ROM/kernel... the best one is the one that fits our personality.
No need to be a jerk.

Aopk will do you perfectly from what your saying. Give milestone 4 a flash, stable quick loads of customisable options for you to play with. No Lagg, excellent performance aswell as battery life.
Nothing else springs to mind in terms of stability, other good roms out there and cm9 however it's in builds with no milestone, so less stable.

CM9 is ridiculously stable at the moment; they just have a different definition of "stable". That said, for people who like a plethora of customizations; it's not there yet.

As everybody points out, your choice of ROM is personal, so I'd just start flashing until you find one you love. Find a popular one (AOKP, Gummy, Code name, Tranquilice) and flash it. If you're in love, stick with it, if something bugs you, find another ROM that doesn't have that.
The nice part about Nandroid backups is that there is little risk of flashing something new, and you'll likely know within a few hours whether a given ROM is right for you, and can revert back easily.
For me, once I installed Gummy (Lean kernel), nothing else lasted more than a few hours on my phone. I may flash something else every so often, but I keep coming back. That's ROM love.

That's true, I used it and it was very stable. Didn't use it for a long period though and as they are in nightlies still though they wouldn't be as stable. As you say though customisation wise its not there yet

Best rom for htc one x

What is The Best and Stable ROM for HTC One X?
Currently i am using Revolution HD...
Post your Opinions and suggestions.
Godbless

In my opinion there is not much difference right now. Most roms if not all are stable with no problems.
I have tried LeeDrOiD, CoreDroid, Villain rom and InsertCoin until now and all of them seem about the same to me in terms of speed and stability
We need custom kernel

ARHD is probably one of the best and most popular.
IMO, they're all around the same and pretty similar besides the fact that some are senseless.
I think we'll really see bigger differences when kernel sources come out and kernel devs start working their magic. Then the combination of kernel and ROM will be big and some may be much more battery efficient than others.
I'm intrigued at the new ROM touch x-treme which is coming out soon I believe, he's uploading.......and hes aiming at battery life. IMO, most important thing since Tegra 3 with all it's cores should already be able to handle UI and everything with ease and the focus on battery life is a biggie to me.
Anything above 5 hours screen usage time would be great, as the phone should barely drain with the companion core during standby.

threads like these usually get closed. you're supposed to read the features/changelogs and look at the pics for the theme. i want ICS blue, so i'm trying the 2 i see with that first.

yah iknow, i want the opinion and testimonies of others.
uhm lets say it like this "air is everywhere but we still need a fan to feel it better".
Read and Analyze first before saying anything.
for the 2 first comment. Thanks a lot! i've learn something about Kernels

I am aware that this thread can/may be removed but I think it's a very useful thread...
Cause although I highly appreciate each and every developer, as users, we shall have the chance to openly discuss our experiences ask for other users opinions. Cause reading only changelogs, and looking at the themes don't mean anything especially for someone like me, who is a newbie in Android... =)
And where else can we compare the ROMs, if not here?! Under their own threads? No i think that will be inappropriate...
Now, to the point...
I have my One X for 1 week and already tried first LeeDrOiD (de-sensed) and currently Android Revolution HD (w/sense)... But I could not decide on which one to use...
Both of them still drains lots of battery... I was sick of my iPhone4 because after 2 years of usage It needed to recharge by afternoon if I used it intensely during the day, but now I absolutley need to re-charge every 6 hours if I use it
A solution should be found to this, so I got very interested in your reply cause I was not aware of this ROM... my bad, was looking at only Leedroid & ARHD because of their popularity..
As of now, I can see that the rom is out there, although at the beginning of the topic it says uploading...
Did you have the chance to give it a try? I will appreciate if you can share your experience cause I got tired of changing my ROM and make all necessary installations & logins again and again...
(BTW, which you guys prefer... Sense or de-Sense?)

I use InsertCoin, which is smooth, fast and rock solid. It used to be a great ROM on the original Desire, which posed some problems to really test developers. InsertCoin met the test.
However, given the superb hardware on the One X, I would expect most of the present ROMs to be much the same... excellent.
Battery life is the holy grail, but as the screen is the main drain I can't imagine what can be done other than tinker with the brightness.

I think this the best rom for long battery

[Q] help me choose a rom

Hi
First of all, I'm not asking for "what is the best rom ever made", since theree is none. I want to know generally, which roms are good for me.
I want battery life, on 3g. Now I am on SJB 6.0, but I am thinking of a gb rom (maybe I'm wrong ), but I am asking if someone has any experience...
So, what is your opinion? battery life on 3g?

You can't get your answer because every person around has a personal taste and looking for something different.
Going further. Telling that one ROM is better than another is quite disrespectful to developers. Most of them spent much time making their work for FREE and one guy can easily depreciate their work.
If you're looking for answer - try. It's easy and making it on your own is much funnier than looking for spoon feeding in every situations. Thinking is fun

Says all you need to know.
You have to try it out yourself. You use phone differently than we do, your battery life is not the same as for other users.

Different people have different requirements for different ROMs, so different people will also have different opinions and different results because of the different settings used and different apps installed.

I think I was mentioning something general, battery life on 3g.
And I was looking for experiences people had with ROMs, mostly GB or ICS or job (which was better for them), not suggestions.

The general answer is that it is more or less the same, no major difference, that you will notice.
Just stay on stock kernel.

[Q]Rom Summary

Hey guys, i am looking to have a new rom, i know this question was asked like 9999 times a day, but it could be very helpful if someone made a post with a summary of all the roms and their bonuses regarding other roms, that way people can join in and just look it up, pick what they need more for themselfs and use it, well ye most of them are the same but some does have better battery life, others better smooth and such. also a combination of rom+kernel info could help alot, most of the people dont even know what is our there and still using stock or some old stuff.
me for example, i was an AOKP since they release their first ROM for the GN, but now it looks like they died or something, so looking for something new and fresh that got a decent battery and smooth

The problem with these sort of topics is that they are too subjective. You really need to try one yourself and see if it suits your needs.

i know what u mean i was a flashaholic back in the day when i had the time for it, but it cant be subjective if we see 5 people review the same ROM the same way, after all there are results to export to the community
