After HTC released the sprint update for the M9 for 5.1, numerous developers ported it for their roms.
To anyone who has been using the 5.1 roms lately and for a prolonged time - how did it change for you?
5.0 is pretty bad for me (even though I have Greenify and PowerNap running) and I barely make it through the day.
Does it change a lot for you?
Has not improved in my opinion..
May take a while

Going from 5.0 to 5.1 should net some improvement. If you are already on 5.1 using the 2.7 version, going to 2.8 most likely won't net any noticeable difference.

IMHO, same to worse thus far. I'm giving it 2 days to settle down and running it from 100->0 -->100-->0% twice, just for good measure.

Running a battery to 0 has no effect on it's performance anymore.
I've been testing the beta Cyanogenmod build, which is built on CM12.1, Android 5.1.1.
(I'm also still on 1.32 firmware)
It isn't a Sense rom so I can't directly compare, but the battery seems MUCH better. I haven't had a chance to test for a good SOT, but even idle battery drain is drastically improved.
Noticed improvement on 2.8 based rom on 2.8 fw. But only 2 of them out ATM.

Am I the only one who thinks there are no significant differences between, well, ARHD, InsertCoin, One X Maximus or any JB Sense ROM? I tried almost everyone of them, but didn't see any great differences. Battery life differed a little (not more than an hour) but all in all...the ROM's are very similar to each other. Maybe my eyes are overlooking something

I feel the same. Although ordroid is a little bit better in battery for me. But it can be placebo, too...
As far as final ruu will be released, and the kernel source will be posted, the real differences will show up

i think is about battery life, radio sign and thame
With the exception of Renovate and Orio, all of those ROMs are trying to deliver a better stock experience, which means the difference isn't gonna be huge. I recall that my favorite was maXimus because it felt faster than all the other ROMs, no misbehaving whatsoever and it had a great pick of included apps. OrDroid came a second close (it had amazing battery life). There isn't any visible changes but its noticeable with daily usage I guess.

Too bad that venom rom is dead . It worked exceptionally well. Pretty much miles ahead of everything else.

Viper X ROM is not dead at all. The team is working on it as we speak. I don't know when they will release it. Better later than sooner, 'cause then it will have lesser bugs and is more stable. The best things come to those who wait.

A couple of days ago they were 73% done. Or something like that.
best part about maximus, arhd, ordroid is when they write updated facebook,twitter in their changelog

Yup, that's why i said better later, than sooner.
My take is, it's all about the tweaks, removal of bloats and customisations.

Spot on
Even if guys from venom team will manage to do that brilliant work, j4n did with ics, it won't be so blowing away experience like last ics Rom until kernel source will be given by HTC.
ViperX is pretty much best sense Rom ever on HTC One X, with venom tweaks (how crazy cpu control is....), modding ability, speed and, the last, but not the least, best batter life... That's why it was awarded to be placed in original develoebt forum.
So, as far as it will be released (and if it will be at least 70% of original), we'll have a King.
For now they are all like tween brothers.

Untill the finished (final final final release from htc) no one will put too much effort into the roms atm. Once we all have the jb hboot and there`s a released ruu with no bugs theyll all tap away and do their thing. The most youll get at the mo other than a couple (ren, orio etc) is a custom boot ani and init.d support. Theres no real difference.
Be patient and theyll do good things when the time comes, we have some great devs/teams.
Why is it on all these roms battery life sucks. When I say sucks 8hr is bad when on stock you get 13 to 14. That is the main problem for me. When I first got this phone I was amazed by the battery life. That's a big deal to me. I have flashed every Rom for our phone some have better battery life than other but none come close to stock. Not bithing I love the work that the devs do for the g pro this is more on the line of just wondering why it is like that. I even flashed the official cm same thing . You would think because the roms don't have all the bloat and crap that stock has on it the battery life would be better and yes I have calibrated the battery and let the roms settle still same thing.

U probably forgot to flash the modem after u flashed the custom ROM. That's why it is so bad on battery life. Even so I don't like the cm Roms a lot because I lose some awesome features only the stock ROM has, I do have to say the custom Roms have excellent battery life.

Flash wootever's kernel over unofficial cm and play with the settings. Its actually better than stock. Not by much but its noticeable. Only way I've gotten better battery life than stock so far.

If you want a atock based rom there are i believe 2 already out and i have used both ofthem. They have really good performance and battery life.
You will see a good improvement if youuse the stock based roms here on xda
I was just looking at one. It seems like it is a pain to flash. I don't think that it is like the other ones maybe wrong but I was reading and everyone was having problems.

I've noticed that every ROM I've tried since switching from 4.1/Sense 4 has had small performance issues that I hadn't seen on Sense 4.
One thing that seems to be common with all 4.2+ ROMs (both Sense and AOSP) is that the notification drop-down lags noticeably, especially on the launcher. What could be the cause of this?
Also, I'd appreciate it if you guys could recommend ROMs (preferably AOSP, but Sense works) with good performance. Right now I'm running ViperX with Alex-V's kernel and I find it okay, but still a bit underwhelming.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
Hmm for me it's the other way around, sense 5 has better overall performance due to the trimmed down system !
And as far as i can recommend roms.....i just cant, i will not compare roms by it's performance, every rom has it's own unique settings and tweaks. My only advice is to try them out and check which one suits you the best.
Cheers

Fair enough. I've tried about a dozen ROMs so far, and ViperX and AICP seemed to have the best performance.
Strangely enough, I just flashed a stock 4.2 ROM from ARHD to test it out, and this may just be a placebo but it actually seems to run significantly better than ViperX did. That's really strange considering I'd expect the opposite to be true.
Well things should go better when we have the kernel source released to make full tweaked custom sense 5 kernels.
And the difference in performance is different for everyone too.
The rom you mentioned is about full stock, viper is tweaked and has a highly adapted framework with a lot of tweaks. That can be less battery friendly.

Hey
I am currently running Android Revolution 33 and I'm looking for a new rom :
- if possible, based on Lollipop
- with the best battery life
- including fastcharge
- not CM
Thanks for helping me choosing a ROM because I have seen all of them but no one seems to fit to my choice.

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891 and download the rom which you want
All the lollipop roms have bugs like data problems..and many more but the developers are constantly working to solve the problems
All the best and happy flashing
Thanks for your answer but ive already seen that and all Lollipop-based roms have bad battery life and no fast charge.
Is there one that you know with all of that ?
Thanks again

I have not seen rom with excellent battery life ..but with most of the lollipop ROMs I got approx 7-9 hrs of battery life with moderate usage...
And yeah if you want the coolness of lollipop you will have to sacrifice the battery life of your hox
Okay I see. Is there something special to do if I then want to downgrade from a Lollipop ROM to JB ?
Therefore, what's the best ROM, based on KitKat and with FC, great battery life ?

It's been long enough for most users to get the jist and overall feel for the Android versions out thus far?
In your guys opinion, which is the best version for our S4?
Kit Kat, which one? 4.3, 4.4.4, Jylly bean, lollipop, marshmallow? Which one?
IMO, I think kit Kat is the overall best and optimized Android version for our phone. I think this is the highest version.meant for our phones, where it hits the sweet spot in terms of performance, and battery life. What say you, XDA?

With respect, have you tried SlimLP (5.1.1)? I really think that the battery life is pretty good. Everything works, Bluetooth, WiFi, cell data, etc. Plus there is the pie buttons, notification snooze options, and it is really lightweight and fast. But to each their own. That's the joy of all of these android variations. Everyone can get just what they need.

How's the battery life. Heard the newer versions just aren't optimized for our phones, and drain the battery like crazy. I think 4.4.4 is the most optimized for our phones, and the most recent you can get while being perfect for our phones. I think 4.4.4 is the sweet spot for our phones.

Haven't tried marshmallow so i can't speak for that. But 5.1
Works great. Also I use greenify pretty religiously so battery stats in check. And the animations get choppy sometimes so I do turn them off. Otherwise it works great, think I'll stay at 5.1.
