Hello all,
I am looking to move to a different ROM. I am currently on Cyanogenmod 7 Nightlies and have been for at least 4 months. Prior to this, I was on Myn's TwoPointTwo, but development seams to have stopped on that, although it was not bad when I was on it.
I would like a ROM that is mostly Gingerbread AOSP without a lot of mods. CM7 is nice, but I can't stand the WyContacts dialer/contacts/history app. I like them separate. I do like ADWLauncher, so that cooked in is fine.
I don't know if this is a CM7 problem or not, but WiFi Hotspot interferes with Bluetooth. Causes my calls to cut in and out like crazy.
Any suggestions would be great.
Deck. It's like CM without the extra bloat. Great battery life and blazing fast. Wrong forum, but no big deal.

My 2 cents is deck 1.2.1 with tiamat 4.0.6 with sbc. Blazing fast with regards to overclocking, not to mention a lot if free internal memory and available RAM. Battery drains quickly overclocked. Capable and stable at 1.226ghz (i think that's the setting) using Android overclock from the market. Also has built in advanced settings, similar to cm7's. A lot of nice tweaks in there. Just my experience. Hope it helps.

Thanks! I've just flashed to Deck.
However, the first thing I noticed is that it still uses WyContacts. Any way to go back to Gingerbread dialer/contacts/history apps?
New miui is good...

Because when your post count is over one hundred and you've been a member nearly four years you don't deserve to be babied.

If You Live In A 4G Area I Would Recommend Any Rom With 4G (its an essential for me). I would recommend synergy, mikg, or cyanogen. If not in 4g area or dont care about it get new miui. Looks awesome.

+1: the gingerbread-evo-deck has been my favorite AOSP ROM since it was released; currently at 1.2.1. I like the Go Launcher and Go Contacts so I've switched to them. Added Link2SD to utilize my Ext3 partition for apps, and that's about it. Throw all my apps on there, everything works and works great!
If you're interested, also works great with custom kernels by Savaged-Zen and Tiamat (currently using SZ 2.2.1). There are many great options, but IMHO you can only get different, not better.
Good luck, and thank you for your time.

Your post count is over 100 and you've been here for a year, and you could have just skipped over this thread completely after reading the title. So, the only reason that you opened this thread at all was to chastise the OP. So as you question why he committed the mortal sin of posting in the wrong area, you should also be asking yourself why it was so important for you to slam him with obscenities for it.
Personally, I'm far more annoyed when someone posts, "What's the battery life like?" in a thread with 500 responses including 60 responses to that same question that has already been asked 10-times in the same thread.
Yes, this was posted in the wrong area, but in my observation you get much better responses to such a question here than you will in Q&A because many users, myself included, rarely if ever go into the Q&A area. I'm not supporting posting in the wrong area, but I do understand why a question like this was posted here.
Thank you for your time.
this post removed, since thread was moved out of development.
Someone needs a hug. Anything you need to get off your chest? We're all here to listen. Don't be scared.
And I'm liking SynR2. No SBC but I enjoy some of the new sense.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. First of all, I didn't mean to put it in Development, but when you're in that forum looking for ROMs, the first reaction is to just click POST NEW THREAD. Thanks for moving me.
I have been on gingerbread-deck for almost 24 hours now. It is definitely fast.
That said, it still uses WyContacts. Do nearly all AOSP ROMs use that? Does Gingerbread not have it's own dialer and contacts apps?
If a ROM doesn't have ADW Launcher built-in, is the standalone version the only option or is there a way to kind of integrate it with Gingerbread? Any advantages to this?
My 2 cents for Kinged Kingdom RLS2

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.
Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

Thanks for the info; need to do abit of research into this kernel business as I've seen them mentioned alot and nodded in agreement (I have no idea!)
Click the link to guides in my signature. Read the kernel info thread. May help

I don't mind if anyone throws me a pm in regards to seeking more out of the Desire.
And rootSU, we could always do a combined guide on the Desire and how to get the best out of it, if you like

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)
Which rom do you prefer? Charmander or Android revolution? And why?
Thanks guys

I prefer charmeleon for its lot of tweaks and battery life.
Yes, i have it flashed at the moment, thinking about switching though
hard to say which ROM is the best one.
I'd say Villain or Charmeleon. But most likely you'll get as many answer as many ROMs out there
Haha yeh, i really like roms that are really customizable though!
You should try one of the cyanogenmod/AOKP based roms that are available. I usually find them faster/better battery life since they don't have HTC's sense stuff.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Will hit them up, thanks
Pkmn for reasons unknown give me massive battery drain for no reason even after a few charge cycles I'm using leedroid just because on mine it gives me.better battery life 11+ hours with 4 hours screen time.

MIUI for me using the RomAur version because its rebased on the 1.29. I dont like sense or any of the launchers on the ASOP/AKOP type roms, plus I love the theme's available for it.
Thread closing soon. OP just try the roms mate. You are the only one that can decide this. Or just search. Many threads like yours with people asking the same thing. Search is your friend. And Google the big daddy

Mate comparing ROM's is disrespectful to developers ..
I wouldnt say so, creative criticism is essential to development, and its not like were pointing out flaws and saying why (not that thay are) bad, where expressing personal opinions, not attacking developers.
The point is I think its down to personal preference, what makes my rom of choice best for me is not always going to be right for you. Try them all play find out what you like and you want from a rom.

Agreed without competition there would be no invitation. As always "best" is subjective to the person. Try them all pick the one that suits your needs the most.
My need is for battery life above all, I use the Rom that gives me the most.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Hi
I suggested we can do pros and cons of every rom we use and so we can assess the rom ourselves.
To be honest, I know OP doesn't criticize on any ROM, but all of the ROM out there is FOC and is developed with all the effort given by the developer. You could easily try out the two you asking for and see which one could benefit you the most
Since you are asking on ARHD and PKMN, it is depending on your usage. If you prefer as stock state as possible, then you could go for ARHD. If you prefer huge tweaks, then you could go for PKMN. No harm trying them
Pointless thread is pointless
Try a few ROMs and see what fit you best.
Thread closed.

I completely agree. Post your rom/kernel combo. And kernel settings please...

These threads are a waste of time. You will not get the same results as others since no one uses their phone the same as you. There are different settings for gamers, people in low signal areas, people that only web browse, people that only use their phone for calls and texts...all different cases as well as the differences between syncs, apps and the cut of the processor die... all change performance. Best is what is best FOR YOU. You just need to try different combinations/

I need a rom with excellent battery life, the custom rom and already proven not give me good results with the battery, same here with the custom kernel, the phone overheated
any rom that really have excellent performance and excellent battery??
some sense or AOSP recommendation??
Threads like this are not allowed. Try each ROM and see what you like. In general, sense ROMs have better battery life.

my question is which rom has best battery performance, your answer does not help at all...
Have you read the rules or my post? No 'best ROM' threads allowed. Honestly, I think all ROMs are good and the choice becomes quite subjective.

agreed, battery depends on usage a lot more than the ROM you are using, if you want better battery life, get a 3.14 based sense ROM (any you like the features of) and then install a custom kernel, n3o's or xm's then underclock and undervolt your CPU, lower screen brightness or auto values and don't install batter saving apps.
Mate I've not seen much of a difference. The new 4.2.2 though on sense defo has made a difference for sense roms. I think it's much of a muchness.
Ooo i have had an idea...why not
Try aosp
Try sense
And see the results. Im sounding sarcastic and there's a bit there but in reality that's the only way you will know by the way you personally use it like chappy above me said
