Title says it a really. I know this has been asked before (the last being Feb 2011 if my searches are correct) but we have had updates and new ROMs since then.
I have mainly used Oxygen and GingerVillian and don't seem to be able to get more that 24 hours out of my battery. My phone is only about 7-8 months old so I don't think it is the battery. I can't believe the official Desire battery life in standby is 340 hours! That's almost 2 weeks.... I'd be happy if I could get 2 days! I know it depends on certain parameters i.e. phone usage, signal, etc. but I would expect at least 2 days under medium useage if standby time is supposed to be 2 weeks!
Also does anyone see an improvement or decline in battery life from Froyo to Gingerbread?
Thanks all
Im using Redux and its really smooth and stable rom. Also the batterylife on the stock kernel is awesome. On this charge I've been playing for an hour or so Gamedev Story and been listening to some music as well making calls and sms. 24h on battery, 60% battery left. Night is the only time I shutdown the data connections and besides the night it syncs Google, Facebook and weather every hour. I would definately recommend this rom.
Oxygen, works great for me, and great battery life.
Oxygen FTW. Besides good battery life, fast as hell, too!
Sometimes even swaping kernels might get you a better battery life. I use CM7 RC2 with couttstech kernel which is gud for my case..!!
I haven't tried Oxygen yet but I'm currently using Ginger Villain
With Android 2.3 Gingerbread with almost the latest CM7
And the battery is just incredible. I think it can easily last 2 days with normal use(checking mail, whatsapp, checking some websites)
My phone is now a year old.
I've also flashed another kernel which supports 124mhz to 1119mhz (If I'm correct).
Also another friend of mine has the same rom and his battery also lasts very long and he has his phone even longer than me.
I find it odd you can't get 24 hours out of Ginger Villain. Maybe it is your kernel?
I can tell you it has a better battery life as the MIUI Roms have.
It might also be worth trying different radios as they can effect battery too.

I have been using Oxygen, great battery life (almost 2 days) and its very fast, but I've been getting reboots/bootloops every few days.
Anyone else experienced this, and would Redux be more stable?
Cheers
I'm using Redux too. Battery life is excellent.
Oxygen FTW!
I'm finding Ginger Villain equal to Oxygen for battery, although I think I only started using Eviollet's 1.3 kernel after I swapped which is a big help.
Much friendlier threads though for GV and no random reboots has made me stick with it.
Dabbled with data++ and ginger new sense roms recently and battery is sufficient, but not as good as AOSP

I currently used CM7 RC4 with coutts .38 HAVS CFS kernel. Battery life is great. I do charge it up everyday but I do play games quite a bit but if I leave it on standby, I can get a couple of days out of it.
I had stock sense last month and I uninstalled just about everything and fit the rom onto the sense hboot, from that, I managed to get about 80 hours of battery life out of it with light usage.
I'm using ginger villain, not noticed to big of a change from the stock 2.2 tbh.
Is redux stable enough? Heard mixed reports

I've been using Redux for a month now, battery is excellent, the ROM is amazing fast and i've never had bootloops/reboots during my use.
Oxygen, without a doubt. I don't know why or what it does different to others however. I only really noticed the difference a couple of days ago...76% remaining after 16hrs + of being unplugged and that was with GPS on network only, WiFi on etc and normal usage.
I use Insertcoin S port and it works great, I have 69% now after using it for 21 hours. I don't know which other rom has this but i am very happy with this rom.
I'd say oxygen...it really feels like on (nearly) any other rom battery life is halved compared to this masterpiece 0.o
So I've been using these sense 3.5 roms and I've noticed battery life just isn't very good. Even on my 3500 mah battery I get like 10 hours. I'm looking at others but I would like to know of one that has great battery life, yet looks delicious (like MIUI but I'm not sure if that's the best one!)
Thanks in advance! God bless!

Every rom works differently on every phone, due to small hardware differences. Your best bet is to try out each rom for a few days and see for yourself
I know this is a pretty dumb and common question but i wouldn't have asked if i didn't need to ask it badly. I am leaving leaving my place for a month and i would need a longer battery life between charges because i will mostly be on picnic outside or doing something else where the connection won't be possible. Two things i would ask is that whether the LC ICS atm has good battery life because i had stopped flashing a while ago and i don't have time to go through every rom just to record battery life. Also how is the 480p on LC ICS compared to the 720p on GB roms because i will be recording A LOT from my phone. If LC's rom isn't that stable then can someone link me to a good GB rom with smooth interface and good battery life. By "good" i mean 8-12 hours with moderate use, is that a lot? and of course more is better.
EDIT: oh yeah, Mods! please don't lock this right away xD
Thanks a lot in advance !
This gotta be in the Q&A section.
Back to your question:
I would maybe recommend cyanogenmod 7.2 or ARHD roms.

I guess that CM7.2 is your call...has no sense at all, but works great and battery life is great. Take into consideration that battery life is not awesome in this device, but CM7.2 is not bad at all...also paranoid android is awesome, but is ICS and camera is not as smooth as in GB.
If not, you can try CoreDroid V9.4 or the Energy Rom...both have great battery life and no lags at all at least for me....

Hope it helps....
The best rom I ever had in terms of battery and smoothness was Bindroid. It's Android 2.3.5 and sense 3.5.
I don't have a link but you should easily find it by google.....

Battery drain was so fast when using ViperX 3.2.3 . U guys have a same problem ?.
Before this, im using Renovate. And it have pretty awesome battery life.
Do you have any solution for ViperX Rom ??.
I really like this ROM.
all sense roms have bad battery life compared to nonsense, afaik both viperx and renovate are sense, hence give it a few recharge cycles before deciding
Biggest culprit that I have found is Google Now if you are running that
Which rom is better on battery cause so far all the ones u have tried drain my battery like crazy :0/

have you tried slimkat? I use 4.3 because it's had the best battery life. have you ran betterbatterystats to see what's using the battery? you can do some tweaks to improve the battery life with whichever rom you like.

I've seem to notice the best luck with CyanogenMod 11 Nightly (01/01/13 build). The battery drain hasn't been as bad. I tried CyanFox 4.4.2 and I felt that drained a bit quicker than CM11. Have you tried CM11? I know it's not at a stable release yet, but CM hasn't come out with a 4.4 stable release yet in general.
Seems like a lot of roms are still trying to iron out the bumps. I can post some battery results once i've tried CM11 for the rest of the day here.
I have, it was okay. Idk how to do any tweaks >.< honestly scared to try when idk what i am doing. So i rather be on the safe side & not mess with it, but I noticed there isnt very many roms & etc done for this phone :0/ okay so what about any of the 4.3 roms good on battery?
I'm a major fan of mrfeuss's 4.4 OmniROM. Haven't come across any bugs and am able to pull close to 48 hours with lite usage and listening to music almost all day. The XDA release of viper4android also works extremely well with it. Able to drastically increase the bass of my Sony MDR-XB400's while maintaining amazing clarity.

But you are getting good battery? Unfortunately i have to use my phone a little more than lite, more like medium usage & staying stock is jus ehhh annoying. Thank you very much everyone :0D I appreciate it.

A few phone calls, periodically texting, checking XDA and Facebook, surfing the web and listening to music. You could easily go a full day underclocked at 1.1GHz.
