Hey people. I'm kinda new to the game of flashing etc. Currently I'm running Viper on my HTC one s (and loving it)! But that's not why I'm here. My old phone (mums current phone) is a Wildfire s, so what I want to do is root and flash a custom rom for it in hopes of increasing the battery life. I know cm is pretty good with battery, but are there any suggestions as to which rom I could use? Or may be better? Maybe even a jb sense?
Thanks in advance

Hello. I think that, in terms of battery life, the stock rom is the one that lasts the most.

Hi everyone,
First time flashing cm 7.1 stable. Pretty satisfied with the beast...but the battery life has decreased from 30h to 18-20h.
Do you recommend the latest hboot? Wich kernel? Wich radio?
What are your battery stats? Do you recommend nightly?
Thx peeps

Latest radio. As for kernel a lot of people suggests ManU. I personally use richardtrip's kernel right now.

How is your battery life doing? What about your signals strength.
Thx for sharing

I've been satisfied with my battery life. Its pretty much dependent on how you use your device so giving you an actual figure on how long it last isn't really necessary. But on my observation, its better to flash another kernel than use the one loaded with CM7.
In addition to the kernel, I use 2G and turn off data when I don't need to be connected and all that normal battery saving practices.
As for signal strength I'd say it's pretty good. I never worry about it since there is pretty much good coverage where I am at.
I'd recommend you don't mess with your radio unless you have to.
I'm using cm7.1 with latest radio (5.17.05.23) and the ManU havs-axi-cfs kernel.. It works a treat for me

What are the consequences of flashing a new kernel over the CM one?
Data lost? Any apps non-compatible? Less customization of the cm 7.1 ?

There is a little trick how can you extend life of battery to the maximum: Use your phone only in pitch black rooms. Satisfaction guaranteed!

None of that. Everything should work fine, maybe faster, maybe slower, may more battery life, maybe less... Just try.
Only make sure you are flashing an AOSP kernel and not a Sense kernel.
The hboot doesn't affect the baterry life. A2SD dos affect, as reading and writing in the sd drain a bit more battery than just in nand.
So the best hing is to use CM7r2 and not to use a2sd, and don't have thousand of stupid and useless apps.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for the ROM with the best Battery life...
I'm using the phone for 12-15h a day without charging... an a lot of display usage!
And it is wayne if the ROM is with or without SENSE ... The ROM should just be bugfree
Thanks for answeres

go down to "Senseless - ROMS" then just check the reviews there... or you can also try em' all...
C M 9 !!! stock kernel 2 days easy...
cm9 or just try Villain Rom or any rom that has the senseless option. which is most of them anyway.
This is subjective.

So the main culprit for the poor battery life of seemingly all HTC phones, including the One X, is still sense 4.0 and not the tegra 3 chipset?
How ready is cm9?

Well to quote myself, I managed to install cm9. Seems ok to me. I can't speak of the battery life yet, but I'll see.
Guys, PLEASE educate me on what a kernel is and does, what's a custom ROM & what does it have to do with battery life, etc.?
Thanks
Hello everyone, in a month I'm getting the s3 and after coming from a Motorola defy, I know battery life won't be as good. I see there are a ton more JB ROMs for the s3 than the defy so I would like your advice for the ROM with best battery life. Also, the defy has no custom kernels so I'm unfamiliar with how they work. Any advice?

I would say there isn't a good answer to your question until an OTA JB official is released. Right now are just leak based or CM/AOSP based and very few of them for t-mo are very stable. There are a few kernel mods that will give you ability to undervolt or underclock, and that is best bet at battery life.
Basically the screen and radios will eat up your battery no matter what, but with screen off in various sleep states, if you put WLAN to sleep, it can last a very long time. The best solution is to invest in a USB external battery pack probably.

Hello, what is best rom for wildfire s that have best battery time. I think that when i charge mobile it will be long time on battery and I still do not recharging it too often. Hope you understand me
The "best" rom is always hard to tell. Battery usage depends heavily on how you use the device, what apps you use and so on..
I'm currently using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248654
and I think the battery lasts about as long as with the stock Android. Maybe a bit shorter.

Hello guys I just switched to HTC One X and currently on stock ROM. As for my taste I don't like to stay on that, I found difficult too to choose the best ROM available here, I'm confused actually. I'm new to HTC flashing stuffs and I want to prevent flashing then unhappy with it, because when that happens I have no idea yet to return to stock. So I just want a little tips from you guys based on daily used.
I would like:
-Good Battery Life
-Ultimate Gaming Performance that I can play Asphalt 8 (High) with no lag
Thank you guys and appreciate your suggestions...
I'm noob and this is the best I can do for now, ask

You cannot have both at same time: heavy gaming will drain battery significantly, and good battery comes with sacrifying certain performance.
- If you prefer gaming, try XM kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731
- Good battery life, try Alex V kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226360
Also, make some tweaks (under/overclock) of cpu/gpu to best suits your needs, but do with caution as wrong settings can damage your phone.

Oh my...thank you so much. But after reading reviews about HOX heating up problems, maybe this time I prefer not to overclock.
Guess I'd go with Alex-V Kernel but what are the ROMs compatible with it? It didn't mention on the thread
