Hi Guys,
Don't really post much, just trawl and download Roms.
My good friend had 2 old HTC Desire's that he wanted to use as backups on long camping trips.
I had a long look at roms and popular ones, but im still not too sure which ones are still current, or lost in the woods.
I've been able to root both the phones with revolutionary, and on one of them, i have installed Ginger Villain 3.3.
I was wanting to know some other roms that have great battery life and are fairly stable, and i would like to use them without an SD card if possible. It doesn't have to be fancy, or look pretty, just functional. I dont need ICS, im still happy with FROYO or G/B
I was a big fan of LeeDroid when i had my HTC Desire HD, but i had since moved to another when he stopped developing. Not sure how his Bravo went.
TL;DR Looking for stable, no frills ROM, with great battery life. Opinions?
Aosp GB roms like CM7 have a very good battery life. Also try Aosp MildWild roms. I get about 2 days of battery with medium usage.

Do these require an SD card to be present?
Can you explain what A2SD and Data++ mean?
Can you be specific in which version to install?

You say that the MildWild rom has very good battery life.. But I too use that rom and my battery dies halfway through the day. I recently bought a new battery, because my phone is pretty old... But that's not the solution. Do you have any suggestions?
Edit: I had a screen-on time of 15 minutes. I had 40 per cent left of the battery 6 hours after I unplugged it. The phone was fully charged... That was the new battery btw
Mild wild CM good option I think

Some app is eating up your battery. Try reflashing the rom. It's the most straightforward solution.

I did that, I even installed another kernel. Nothing helped. I'm flashing a standard CM7 now, to see if that helps

+1. Strangely, on all MW AOSP ROMs that i tried, battery always died very fast. Got almost only 7-8hrs with moderate usage. Tried all the tweaks i knew of to improve but no luck. Better battery stats also didn't reveal anything unusual that may be eating the battery.
I just switched to Nikez P4 and testing the battery life. It used to be great on his P1.

Flashing another rom doesn't help either. I'm still getting only 8 hours of battery..
ur battery is probably just dying (old) try another battery for a day n see if theres any difference
Like I said earlier, that is what I did. I am getting these problems with both my old and my new battery. Flashing a new rom/ kernel doesn't help either.

I just root my phone last night and my phone is running at 33° and my battery is geting handed a new one.
Does anyone know if flashing a new.kernel or any tips to conserve my battery?
Any help would be awesome.
Well a new kernel COULD help your battery life, but you'd have to check the specs of the kernel, as some are for performance, others battery life, and ect. But be sure to see if its compatible, and if you find no data on it always make a backup before testing it!
Edit: In addition to a new kernel, turning off your mobile data [3G] when you're not using is always a big battery saver.
From my personal experience, flashing a different kernel like crack. Lol! but most do indeed improve battery life. I have 2-3 kernels in mind that you could use, how ever i use my wifi tether. So i had to go with a kernel that gives my battery life and doesn't affect my wifi, which the other kernels did effect my wifi.
So if you use your wifi tether, and still want to save on some battery life. Try this kernel.
[Netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-sbc-nohavs-suv-universal-singed]
If you don't use wifi tether, then go with these.
[sbc-bcnice-stable-v7]
[sbc-bcnice-stable-v8]
[Reminder Note]
It's really up to you if you want to use these, I'm not telling you to do it. Just offering some ideas to help you brain storm on things.. And yes I have flashed the bottom two kernels on cm7 rom, but my cm7 3g was pretty weak, and i do enjoy 4g at work, so i jumped to a different rom.
Got the links, but haven't posted enough to add links in my post yet.

Just saying, I would recommend staying with the CM7 kernel till a stable release since it's still a beta you never know what will happen!
Ummm....yeah. I flashed kernals to cm7 and lost my camera. Can't get it back either. Been trying everything.

Awesome guys I will most definitely look into it. Because I love cm7 and do not want to get rid of it.

Oh and I do have all of the little things down. I have taskpanel, oc widget at 245-576, disabling data, all of it. It just runs really hot and my phones almost dead lol. So hopefully a kernel fixes it.
CM7 is great for battery overall, and Savaged-Zen kernel makes it even better.
I'm averaging double the battery life from stock Sense.

With WildStang83 Desire Inc HD ROM I go from 440am to 5pm with a single charge and still have like 20-30% left.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253492
And aosp I can't really tell because I don't use aosp (I'm a Sense lover maniac) the only one I used was cyanmod7 nightlies like for a week and the battery life was ok. I had to charge atleast 30-50 minutes during my break time.

Sense ROMs take up more battery life because their is more going on, but I don't think its that drastic compared to AOSP. I use Nils 2.3/3.0 gingersense and I can normally go till next morning or miday after a charge.
The only AOSP rom I've run was MIUI and I would constantly get 24+hrs and sometimes over a day (1800mah battery).
There's still a lot of tweaks to come on the Sense ROMs so don't expect too much from them at this point in time. Once the GB kernel source is released and we get some custom kernels then the battery life of Sense roms may increase.
MIUI with Chad's Incredikernel will give you ridiculous battery life. I would get over 24 on one charge. That's what I used during Hurricane Irene when the power went out lol
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I use Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist. It's kind of a mix between sense and AOSP. Alot of the sense has been removed, but it still kind of has that feel. Love it...very responsive and stable. By the time I get home from work, around 7pm, I still have like 70% battery remaining.

+1. I use either MIUI or one of many AOSP ROMs then I flash Chad's incredikernel. When I undervolt the kernel I can almost go two days without needing a charge.
The best battery life I've gotten is with the most recent stable Cyanogenmod 7.
For some reason my battery life is *noticeably* better on MIUI than with CM7. Seems strange but the difference is there.
of the few
of the few I've tried (gingersense, cm7, and uber), I found NilsP's Business Gingersense to get me the best battery life. Day and a half on one charge, mobile network on 80% of that time...
Please recommend rom for-
- get better battery life (right now i use CyanogenMod 7)
- panoramic pictures
I don't need anything else.

How many times has this been asked?
Got to be one of the silliest questions to ask, as you will get a different answer all the time.
Everyone has their own opinion of what the best rom is.
I wont ask this stupid sort of question here!!! All I do is READ THE FORUMS and then try flashing different rom myself to see what I like.
even if you're right. it's not nice to curse people and call them stupid.
so keep on flashing but start with your mouth first.
For me, best battery rom with panorama shoot is defy+ german gingerbread walter edition..

Sorry, i already spent hours with reading and flashing but i couldn't find any rom with the simple specs i need.
Please continue read and spend more from your free time on the board and someday maybe you can be able to write something useful.
My opinion
dude, u have 5 or 6 options for this phone
either use a moded version of the gb roms (walter or iaio);this is the best thing u need for panorma as it comes natively with that,battery life same as all (2 days of normal use) but they are the slowest of all
cm7 (xda version or official one); no panorama no 720p just pure speed and awesomeness, battery life is 2 days of normal use (6 hours if u play streamed video)
miui (language specific mods, cmui, wjui); eyecandy but slow imo, battery life 2 days with normal use
stock froyo rom (or bb mods); using patches u can get panorama to work on that, this is best for battery life i got 3 days a few times with normal use
so yah..u decide, i use cm7 as it comes with all the codecs, volume track skipper, no lag in games, and u can customize it as u like as they are tons of themes on this forum or on the market

galnet miui is the fastest of the miui's i've tried for the defy so far, but i cant speak about the battery backup because i removed it in a few hours,
loads of eye candy, maybe something the devs could/will use
it says its running 4.1 but it feels like 2.3.7.
sorry didnt check the camera!
as for walters ms2ginger 2.3.4
its clean, fast and has panorama. the battery life i get is about 12 hours with NO hard usage, i calibrated my battery thrice and removed the battery stat from the boot menu but it didnt seem to help. (any one who can help me, bless your soul)
what i like about it is the blur launcher which is somewhat easier but i thought that was eating up my batery so i used zeam, 13 hours backup, so hmmm maybe i went wrong somewhere!
Argen2Stone is nice, but its blue in the wrong places! :S cant talk about battery back up but since its based on ms2ginger 1 it has the same issues as that with a decent blue theme.
cm7 is fast. its pure speed. well if your looking to use a decent camera app then its not the place you should be, took me a while to get used to it.
doesnt shoot 720p. i didnt check for panorama.
the best battery back up i got till date is on my stock, company flashed froyo 2.2.2 sea 15 JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 of 4 days with decent call and message usage. and the occasional round of angry birds or fruit ninja.
so, yeah as remuseu said, try try untill you find what you like!
ps:if any one can help me with the battery problem on ms2ginger 2 i would be VERY thankful!
has anyone tried the jboogie???whats it like??screen shots please??

no way! cyanogenmods are sense-less, if you want sense interface you must use a sense rom.

My WildChild WOM wasts a weally wong time.
With moderate to heavy usage (phone, browsing, streaming, Market, etc.) I get a good 24hrs on it. Usually more.
If your main concern is battery life, set your CPU min/max to 600/600Mhz using the Performance governor. Use noop as the scheduler. Your phone will last a long time and still be peppy (but not overclocked).

I would like to confirm this issue I have. Is it just me or is AOSP rom more battery draining than sense roms? I'm able to last on the average of 12~15 hours per charge with using whatsapp through but when it comes to AOSP rom, I hardly use it and I barely can get it to last 10 hours at all. Is there any explanation regarding this?
I really love AOSP but I just can't seem to get the battery to last. So any suggestions regarding this would help
Yes aosp Rom's use the battery quicker, it's well known and has been discussed hundred's of times. Try greenify from the play store
