Acesmod 007 -battery life and performance

Hey xda
I come from cyanogen7 and went for the acesmod rom because I was missing the nice widgets, looks, and overall performance of sense. I have now spend some time on acesmod and I must say that it looks very nice and I especially think that the sense keyboard works a lot better when writing danish.
My problem is now that I find acesmod drinking my battery like crazy. Besides this I find it to be lagging a lot and not that smooth a experience that one could expect.
Do anybody know what I could do about this. Have you guys experiences the same.
Alternatively I am open to other sense based roms.
Thanks xda people!

sense roms do use considerably more battery than cm7 roms, nothing you can really do about it apart from maybe calibrate your battery, theres a thread on here about how to do it

Again, calibration is not to be used to increase battery performance... Disable htc.com sync, use as less widgets and let them sync as rarely as possible. Disable pocket mode too, sign out of Latitude and make sure that your market and maps are not in the foreground when you turn your screen off as they won't release the wakelock then.

I can hear that there is not much I can do. Had every updating things disabled and also got the black wallpaper for power saving.
Are there then any sense based roms you would prefer over acesmod 007?

I have good battery life on 007 mod.... But I have used only sense roms, so I cannot compare it to others.

mine life battery is good, try using andrev_oc

andrev_oc? (This is only my second rom)

see here how to install

hope it helps
edit: with ES File Explorer (in settings tick the root explorer and mount file system) copy the freqs to system/etc/andrev_oc

Interesting... I have tried a few Sense ROMs and was quite dissapointed by the performance, memory consumption and battery life, went to CyanogenMod 7.1 and now tried Acesmod007.
For me, it does everyhing as smooth as cyanogen, and something obviously very strange - the same or maybe even longer battery time. A full day with gmail sync, active gtalk usage, a little browsing, ~25min of calls, messaging... on 2G+3G and (mostly) WiFi. And the battery level is still not very low.
I'm very happy with this

The new 007 mod (v39) has even better battery life!
And the speed...

battery issues/help

So I love my gs3, and I love it way more with cm10. I am running the 10/1/12 nightly with the k47 kernel, I made absolutely no changes to the kernel, I just flashed it, wipe data,cache and fixed permissions. its the one from 9/23/12. but my batttery life is absolutely terrible, Im at work and in about 6 hours with maybe one hour of actual use its down to 34 percent. this is the screenshot of what i am getting. what is media server and why is android os taking so much batter when idle? any help would be great...I have flashed many versions and always wipe of cm10, and I end going back to a sammy based rom for that reason, but i really rather keep cm10. I live in an LTE market btw.

Best ROM for battery life + stability?

I have been running Slim-vision 4.2.2 build 6.2 on my Desire Z for the past month and a half; since upgrading from stock gingerbread.
Unfortunately there are a variety of major issues with it, namely:
Kills battery (1-3 hours battery life now :\)
Unstable (almost all apps freeze)
Unstable (sometimes turns off randomly)
Inaccurate stats (battery is on 87% one minute; the next I get a "very low battery" msg)
Calendar app is broken (had to remove it)
So my question to you is, of all ROMs available, which has the best battery life + stability?
Thanks for all suggestions

I have been using Slim since it came out and don't experience the problems, once I had a clean install.
I did run into the Calendar app problem. The cause was running the wrong addon version. Here is a link to the correct version. You want build 6x, if use current build you will have difficulties.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/766-slimbean-4-2-2-build-6
I suggest you read the install instructions and the full thread for other helpful tips. Make you do a full wipe.
blk_jack makes a wonderful ROM, Mimicry is ICS ROM that is very good.
Check out other apps for battery drain or installation issues. Any issues I encountered where non-Slim behaving poorly. In the thread there are a lot of recommended tweaks.
I have using G2 since it first game out. It doesn’t matter what ROM I used I good only get 4-5 hours of battery on continuous use (screen on). Right now my phone is at 43% and I have not charged in over a day.
Go luck.
G2 using Slim Bean

For battery life & stability, I would have to say G-Lite. I always seem to go back to ILWT CM7 because I can't handle how slow ICS & JB run on it. With CM7 you get some customization and don't lose out on speed. =)

Lollipop vs Kitkat Smoothness and battery.

Hi guys, some weeks ago i received lollipop ota on my m8. i updated and after that i made a factory reset just to be sure nothing from kitkat remains. but now i notice that the phone is not smooth and have a good battery that it was on kitkat. i will show some situations:
1-recent apps screen, on kitkat apps appeared faster, on lollipop takes a while to load all 9 apps in grid view, also in card view sometimes the scroll is not running at 60fps.
2-apps are slower to open and they are not staying on ram like was on kitkat. there is a lot more of reloading apps, and multitasking is not as smooth as it was.
3-camera is slower to open, i don't know if this was cause by play store updates from htc camera or lollipop firmware. also sometimes when i take a picture and press the photo to see a message appears "image is being saved" and i have to press again to open the photo. i don't use sd card and have 17gb of space free.
4-battery is draining faster, i always do an overnight test, 6~8 hours of idle, on kitkat i can wake in the morning with 100% battery, now i woke up with 95%. i left google now off, location on, sincronization on, wifi on. the same stuff that i used with kitkat, except for one thing, smart lock by location, maybe is the problem, i will make a test later. also battery is draining faster on usage, i can see battery dropping very fast when using feedly or chrome.
5-about chrome, maybe is just the app and not lollipop. is slower, sometimes the blue progress bar do not appear, and sometimes it just don't load any page after clicking enter, and i have to close and try again. also embedded youtube videos do not have sound and i have to use youtube app(the can drain the phone battery in 4 hours when using continuoulsy and 100% brightness, while on mx player it lasts more than 9 hours SoT).
6-The android encryption is enabled by default on m8? if yes, is there a way to disable it?
Lollipop brought a lot of good stuff, like lock screen notifications, better notification and quick settings design, but the phone doesn't feel like was some months ago, the fastest and smoother android phone i ever used with very fast multitasking and very good battery. anyone share the same feeling? and if there is something that can make the phone go back to be smooth like was?

Have you tried sense7 ? If your phone is unlocked and rooted; try sense 7. Everything has improved.

I do wonder, which good things has Lollipop brought? I am waiting for Sense 7, but on Sense 6 I don't see any.

I have the same problem, particularly in battery life. Used to have great battery life, now it sucks. Is there a proper fix?

I returned to kitkat and device was a lot smoother and with better battery. But now I am running stock gpe 5.1 and I'm very happy with it. I only miss sense camera, I installed it but do not work properly.
One thing you can do is install xposed if you're rooted and do the amplify tutorial. Get rid of a lot of wakelocks

KitKat
I used both versions for M8 (4.4.4 and 5.0.1 official sense software)
And i highly recommend android 4.4.4 for HTC One M8.
Kitkat is more smoother and unbuggy than Lollipop.No restriction on offical apps (like photo gallery zoe features this features really cool but HTC disable this features on Lollipop.)
Android Kitkat 4.4.4 sense 6 really really good for M8. So.. I'm back to KitKat and I'm not regretful about that

Why kitkat if you have Marshmallow already?

Was about to ask the same thing. MM is the better version of kitkat if you ask me ! It's smooth and very battery friendly for me

Kitkat,Lollipop and Marshmallow is smooth but Lollipop and Marshmallow have visual effects and they have mater design I don't like these features.
Also
Dalvik machine better than Art Machine even if Art system gain better point than Dalvik on Antutu Benchmark.
Because most of apps adapted to Dalvik machine ,you can see this moment on offical HTC apps like music apps or some 3D games or when you write something on forums;keyboard really buggy on Lollipop therefore KitKat is best choice of me. Because I can move in software without bugs.

[Q] Stock Roms VS CM/AOSP Roms

Hi There,
I want to ask people that have tried several different roms: What are the big differences between Stock roms and CM/AOSP Roms?
Also: What are the downsizes of using CM/AOSP Roms? I head about a worse camera but is that all of it?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
C.

I am finding out that every custom rom that i try, CM or AOSP, has a bluetooth ble bug. They will not see bluetooth low energy devices such as some fitness trackers. Custom roms look much better than stock roms but i am forced to being on stock because of that.

Can someone using non stock roms throw a bit of light over here please?
1. Does FM radio work?
2. Does the camera picture quality drop by a lot?
3. Does the eye recognition feature work?
4. Does the knock knock wake feature work?
5. Does battery life improve or worsen?
6. Does it have a Bluetooth bug such as the poster above mention?
Any feedback on these matters will be very much appreciated
Thanks!

For me, i tired 2 AOSP roms, and went back to stock after a month, THEN i heard that it supported 4k via Snap Camera so i flashed another AOSP Rom, im now back on cloudy 2.5
The let downs for me are...
The Camera sucks so hard - nothing comes close to stock, not even lenovo super camera, the moto port.
Battery sucks, yea it can vary Rom to Rom but for me, battery life was crap, im not (and many others) arent interested in flashing 4-5 different kernels and then having to use Synapse to tweak stuff to get the best out of it.
Laggy, i got lags, even with it set on "performance" and having it set there drained even MORE battery.
Many people are happy on AOSP roms but after nearly a year with my G3, stock is still the best (purely IMO)
Good luck

1. Yes, with Spirit FM app
2. Yes, especially in low light.
3. Not included in custom roms, can be added by application.
4. Double tap to wake works most of the time. Periodically it stops working and user have to disable and enable it.
5. Well, i've got 0.5%/h in deep sleep, and 6-6.5H in active browsing via LTE. Screenshots attached. RR 5.5.3, pure stock - no custom kernel, sysctl/buildprop/etc tweaks.
6. Never had any BL LE device, can't say.

Many thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated
Did you implement any tweak to achieve that much sot battery life? Like reducing screen resolution and such. What battery life did you manage to get back with a stock rom? To compare.
.
And the camera in good light conditions, does quality really suffer that much?
Thanks again!

No tweaks, no resolution changing (Besides, it won't change battery life unless you're gaming, 2d performance for FHD and 2K is very close on Adreno 330) and no custom kernel.
This result is consistent - today I lost 23% for 3h of usage, of which 83 minutes are SOT. 83/23*100 = 360,8 minutes of SOT if usage pattern won't change. 6 hours of browsing on LTE while travelling through city (i.e changing cells often and high brightness) is good enough for G3.
On standby, I lose 0.4 - 0.7% per hour, depending on how much data there is to sync.
On stock KK, I almost always got 5.10 - 5.30 h of SOT with same usage pattern. But KK was pretty laggy, so I switched on LL. I tried every D855 5.0 build which lg released (With the exception of 20B/C), and even on latest builds I struggled to get 5h SOT, usually phone ended up dry after 4.30 - 4.40 h.
Camera postprocessing in normal conditions is worse than on stock - pictures are less sharp, example of AOSP photos attached.
