What ROM for my girlfriend? (stable, reliable, great battery life) - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

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!

Slim-3.1.0 Ancora 12/06/12 Unoffical with standard kernel (or with Fofivo as the other user said). Noted!
I'll wait for more suggestions before wiping and flashing again. I wanna be sure this time..

Stock one is awesome and better battery life
And if you want more ram use forfivo but battery life will be less than with stock one

What about those ones?

They seems pretty basic too.
I've checked Paranoid Android and Pac-Man too but i think they've got too much stuff that i don't need and she won't use.

from those 3 links i prefer aosp..and without mods..for launcher just use nova/apex..
and for my suggestion try cm9rc7..

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?

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!

Looking for recommendations - Roms& other tweaks
Hi, I hope the OP doesn't mind that I borrow this thread a bit, as this is the exact question I wanted to ask.
tl:dr version:
I am really interested in _opinions_ and _details_ wrt different ROMs (mods or stock) - "xxx is best" isn't a very useful answer to a total noob like me.
So, yesterday I bought this lovely piece of hardware. It came unlocked (of course) and with this ROM (there's a thread about it here):
-System version: Moto_Version.34.177.5.Retail.en.ND
-Firmware: 2.2.2
-Baseband: EPU93_U00.59.1
-Kernel: [email protected] #1
-Build: Jorem_U3_2.4.2_177-5
So far I am rather pleasantly surprised with the lack of bloat. But it did seem rather sluggish when I had installed several apps and played around for a few hours - and the list of running process was horrible.
And I have a feeling I will want Gingerbread in short order (my familiarity with Android is confined to a POS chinese Froyo mini-tablet (had to flash the ROM to even get it to work, then I managed to lose the microSD within it... Haven't taken it apart yet) and looking at my husband's new Samsung G2S - he made me solemnly swear not to root, flash or do anything interesting to it before he even let me touch it).
Or will I?
What I want is
- As much control of the hardware as I can get
(re-assigning buttons (like that to me nearly useless search button), easy ways to turn stuff off and on, customisable quick access to all kinds of interestisting stuff that I hardly even know about yet)
- Minimum of "pretty" UI
- Max battery
- Tweaking off things like wifi and other radio reception, maybe touch-screen too (can one even calibrate capacitative screens? I'm old, and tend to keep my stuff for a long time, so all my previous gadgets have been resistive Palms of various flavours).
And simultaneously I also want:
- As little hassle as I can get away with (ie stable core system which won't need frequent updates).
- Best possible customisation of calendar (and integration with google calendar, of course)
I can't believe it took me so long to finally enter the android world! I can't understand why it took me two years to finally do it. The PalmOS I was in mourning for ("I want my apps from 1995! Why did they break it! I also want wifi! Stupid Palm!") really wasn't worth it.
Nota Bene: I am not a coder or a dev on any platform. I'm a middle aged woman who also happens to be rather fearless when it comes phones. I'm not averse to tweaking a line here and there myself (with instructions or understanding), but generally I get bored pretty quickly with tinkering, and then just want things to work the way I want them to work.
Useless questions in the wrong place (just so I don't give the impression I'm too well behaved - loved the registration video ):
- Where is that "thank you"?! (I've used such on other forums, but I must be blind here. ETA: yes I was.)
- What's the best place (here or elsewhere) to read and ask about a) general android architecture/philosophy/etc (ie what's part of the OS, what can be removed)?
- What's the best place to ask the question "which app would be best for this?"?
- What android-centric forum or subforum would best put up with my wordyness?
I can tell in LiquidArc display eats battery, 3h display is on, battery is down. For other roms i don't know, if someone wants to tell...

Never tried Cmiui but Im surE WIUI is better. It updates every week with a lot of tweaks

actally I see the MIUI ROM too much unstable with Defy. Cyanogen7 is surely better! I love MIUI UI so I hope it goes better asap!
Bye
I've been using CM7 since a couple of months and have been very happy with the stability. (Presently on cm7 rc 1.5) the stock froyo on the other hand was annoyingly unstable and needed frequent reboots to keep it sane.
The battery life is the only grouse - it lasts around 1.5 days with normal usage. On froyo I could easily get upto 2 days.
Cm7s tweaks and customizations make the trade off in battery life worth it, for me.
To each their own I suppose.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
The amount of tweaking and customisation on CM7 is way ahead of any rom I've ever tried and yes I've tried them all literally. You can shuffle every component of the UI and you've got a new phone everyday, hardware performance is as stable as they come, nice amount of useful apps no added garbage.
If you prefer the curved MIUI look there is a theme for that aswell.
CM7 stands in a league of its own IMO. Battery isn't anything above average(lasts me a day of heavy usage on HSPA network) but it isn't a compromise either.

Honestly my ROM is lack for battery performance
While I'm to focus on performance & stability
If you wanna more features you can pick it
Anyway, i will figure it out again
BWT there is new XXLB4 firmware,
i assume it will have good battery life and performance for STOCK
It will be good as a base custom ROM

COW Rom
COW Rom v6 is the best atm in my opinion. Had lots of problems with Kerza when I installed it. COW Rom runs stable and VERY fast.
I'm using Black Notes Chapter 3. I did not have any problem up to now.
Although I did not apply V6 Supercharger yet, it is already faster than stock ROM.
I also like it's ICS look
KP v4 non OC so far best stable and fast.

You still judge the ROM performance based on antutu score
Actually benchmarking doesn't mean the ROM have good performance for overall
Black Notes Chapter 3 maybe just same point with antutu
Have you try with "Quadrant Advance" yet ?
If you have 2 phone to testing you will know the performance differences
That's the real benchmarking test for developer..

well maybe you can still help.. i'm torn between just sticking with the stock rom and a custom rom.. people say dont mess with it, just stay with the stock rom since its great as it is... but others say to install a custom rom since it removes the bloat.
my main concern is the battery.. is the battery on the custom rom better than the battery on the stock rom? and if the battery is better in the custom rom than on stock, how many hours is battery is extended?
I personally have found aokp to be my favorite with kt8 kernal. Maybe you could try a different kernal on your stock ROM to help with battery and take the bloat that you want out yourself.
If I helped click thanks please
You can get all the benefits it seems you are looking for with just root, without flashing a rom. If you are rooted, go ahead and remove the bloat yourself using any number of methods, not the least of which is titanium backup. From there, you can add a lot of little tips and tricks that you can flash, or install, that give you the mods that people build into their roms.
If you are thinking "Ain't nobody got time for dat!", then a touchwiz based custom rom, will likely give you all that you desire, and they are all pretty bug free. AOSP roms are for people that are more willing to work out a few issues, but take the trade off because of the improved experience.

Well a question like that will only get you opinions. Really the word "best" is just used to describe something you like the most. Well it may depend on what you really want, what you really are looking for etc. Well I cannot recommend a ROM since I have a Nexus (yay) so I'll just leave you with this.
As the guy said above. It takes a lot of trial and error. You'll have to experiment and see which ROM fits your best needs.

[Q] Opinions for Custom Rom with good battery life and performance

Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...
Check thunderlite v5, it's great!

thanks, i was actually looking at that as a start.
There is a bit of debate on which kernel to us... if you have practical experience on this, any idea which is best please?
In two days this thread will be closed. There is no a rom better than other.

sorry about that... understand that all roms are good...
just asking for practical experience in usage.
you can just delete it now if you wish.... I guess i have to flash each one and see which works best for me..
sorry for the trouble...

You are right. It's all about personal preference and thunderlite is mine.

LOOOL for Real u think Rom can improve battery life
if really want somthing work and stable as hell with good performance just stick with Stock :good:

You must have misunderstood me...
I want opinions on a custom rom (with all the benefits of a custom rom) that gives good battery life... not one which improves battery life...
been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....
its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3
If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.
But to each their own

nope have a 7100... if they make a version for the 7100 I will gladly give it a try..
@rraaka, thanks for your input... while i love the addons and various mods available, battery life is rather important as i spend a lot of time away from a charging point, and need to phone to serve as my office away from my office...

Only American 7100 I believe but the kernel may be different.
Check the rom thread here

[Q] Fastest thing in Galaxy Nexus

Hi!
Do you know what ROM is the fastest (with better performance) for our Nexus? I don't care if it is Stock or Custom, all I want is the better performance/battery life rom possible.
I am now with CM11 unoficial by playfulgod and I like it because it is 4.4, but the phone takes too long to open the apps and lags a little bit in fast transactions....
EDIT: I also don't care about the version, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, anything... the changes are minimal from 4.1 to 4.3 and 4.4 has its pros and cons
Flash and find out. Thats your best option.
Edit: Wrong section. Sorry. How the h*ll did i end up in Galaxy Nexus section.
I'm using CM official nightlies and find it quite good. I found 4.3 faster but like others have said it's a case of trying different rom / kernel combinations. What works well for me night not be much good for you and vice versa. A lot of different factors come into play. Apps used, background apps etc.

YOU ARE POINTING HIM TO A NEXUS 4 ROM! :banghead:
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G @ CM11
all roms give the fastest and good performance.. its all depend on you.
so far after 1 week experiments.
i use gnex + extended battery + slimkat 4.4.1 + A.S.K.P kernel + odexed + run perfomance scripts + tweak build prop = superb. already 4 hour screen on... with over 50% balance battery..
galaxy nexus i9250
I have just flashed Gummy's 4.4 rom just trying it out from BelieveRom. I was looking for something faster with some of the new features and this had most of them. Real smooth so far with steady battery use on stock kernel. Will try some other kernels to see if it will add the butter.
I'm running swordrune10's cm11 its pretty good

Care to lay out all the tweaked build prop, performance scripts? How big is this extended battery? Is it the one from Verizon that Samsung made or is it one of those big 3,000+ sized ones that makes the phone super thick? seeing 4 hours of screen on time and only half battery used seems too good to be true.
thanks guys!
I will try a few roms here and give you the feedback later
The performance were only good on 4.1.2

im use the super big extended battery.. 4000 mah.. its big but worth it.
i dont like to use power bank as alternative.
im using pure performance™ scripts.. but carefull in scripting, it may cause overwrite the existing build.prop.
additional of using performance control. apk> download from fdroid repo. its seem to be easy to use for tweaking ram performance. especially for noob likes me.
sorry for my bad english..
galaxy nexus i9250
Thats pretty nice. It seems way big for me though. I'm not a make the phones a slim as you can kind of person, but i do like a happy medium.
Vanir is pretty smooth and fast. Battery isn't greatest but performance kicks ass on my toro. 4.4 flies but still has black boxes
Yes, Vanir is very smooth. But the most important is to install custom kernel. For now the best are ASKP and Mpokang SuperRAM. If you install one of these kernels, i think every ROM will be smooth.
I suggest to try MetalOmni - very fast 4.4 ROM.
ITS ALL YOUR OPINION. FLASH AND FIND OUT. These threads arent even allowed. And on top of that: how would you feel if you had put alot of effort into making a ROM and people dont like it because its "slow". Just try and find out seriously. Youre maybe the 100th with this thread. This will probably be closed in a couple of days.

well, then I will have to flash all the roms there are to see for myself which one is the best in terms of speed. considering that there are at least 5 different roms just for 4.4 and for 4.3 (and previous) there are much more roms... I would need to flash about 20 roms (or more) and test them at least a day or two to see which ones are better... By my calculations, I will need at least 1 month. Considering that android isn't my life, I have many other things more important to do, I will spend more than a month doing that testing thing...
So, do you really think I can test them all for myself? Shouldn't I ask here for names of the best roms in terms of speed that many members have tested? This way I will only test the 3/4 most mentioned, not the all 20. I know that the developers do a lot of work in their roms, but there are ones better than others for many things, I don't think the developer of rom X would mind if I prefer the rom Y from other developer because it is faster. Maybe the rom X has more options and other things, but lacks in speed, so the developer of rom X isn't interested in making a rom for speed, it isn't inferior to the other rom, just different.
If this thread is locked, even finding it unfair and kind of stupid, I don't really care. I already got a few opinions and I'm testing some roms here. Thanks a lot for the ones who helped me and aswered this thread.

You want the fastest and super smooth? OmniMetal (ROM come with Mpokang kernel). You will be happy and let me know how it works out..

Gummy AOSP 4.4 ROM with Mpokang kernel SuperRam!
The fastest of all. Mpokang kernel is miles ahead of other kernels. Most RAM and fastest performer!

Well, you got me curious.
I am currently testing SlimKat ROM and it looks fast enough for me.
Unfortunaly, it's still on beta (4.4 KitKat), so you might expect a few bugs.
Still, it's a good ROM, in my opinion.
