I have to admit, I have selfish reasons for posting this poll. I never know what is the most stable/feature rich ROM available without reading through countless posts on several forums so I thought it would be good to have a central place for people to get an idea on what everyone else is currently using.
Right now I'm using Epic Experience with Phoenix kernel and my screen goes black with no way to bring it back without a battery pull. So I need to know what ROM to try next. My goals are simple:
Fast, stable, and most importantly... good battery life.
I just finally convinced my wife to let me root her epic in order to fix battery life and its not working very well.
I am using Baked Snack v1.3 and was on the Boss Rom before with Mixup Kernel. On BakedSnackShack.com you can download it for free. Herver was kicked off for asking for donations ($5min) before the public release, but let me tell you I have not run into 1 problem in ANY program in the last month...I don't plan on ever going to another developer because of his great success and features. He should be allowed back on but every time he does more drama happens. A rom is different for everyone and thats why there are so many developers to suite your needs. Good luck and if nothing else just try it out....I assure you will be impressed!
you need to realize what works for one person will not work for another. different combanations work and suite others needs then their own. i suggest trying everything out and find what works the best for you
I have to say, I agree with mysteryemotionz. What one person may prefer may be what another dislikes. What one person may notice as being a problem, another may overlook. For instance, on the EVO forums a lot of people like cyanogenmod. I personally do not due to the lack of certain functions like 4G and other things (havent look at their forum in awhile so IDk if its still not working now).
Im currently using Epic Experience and mixup kernel. I loved AOSP Magic, but Epic Experience seems to have better support. I prefer the look of AOSP magic tho. I havent tried any other kernel since Im currently satisfied with how I have mixup running.
Yup...baked snack is the best so far I'd say. I've tried em all. Still haven't gotten the battery life that I've read about in some posts. But the battery life is by far better than stock. I'm using epic experience 1.2.0.4 with the latest mixup kernel also tried the latest phoenix kernel with no significant difference. So I just keep trying new things till something better comes along.

Seems clear I've missed a few ROM's like "baked snack". I just used the wiki post for my poll info.

At first you say that you're using Baked Snack v1.3 but then later on you mention Herver and in the same sentence say "...I have not run in to 1 problem in ANY program in the last month".
So which is it? What ROM are you using that isn't giving you any grief right now?
Baked Snack v1.3 or Herver?
Also, while I'm on the subject, how do I add more options to the poll?
I think Herver is the developer of bakedsnack

I don't think there's a "best" ROM / kernel combo for everyone.
It seems that each individual's phones and experiences can and are different.
For example, I was running stock rooted ROM with every version of MixUp since it's inception. On the most recent MixUp I started having battery life issues with no other changes so I decided to try a few things. First thing I did was change to the Epic Experience ROM which did improve my battery life a bit with the latest MixUp back to where it had been with the stock ROM and the previous MixUp. After reading a lot that the Phoenix kernel worked really good with Epic Experience I changed to the most recent version of it. Battery life went off the charts in the good direction with no other change. Phoenix is suppose to run at interactive governor by default but I was getting some weird behavior from it, so I swapped it to conservative and it's working perfect for me. When using any of the kernels I always kept my minimum set to 200Mhz to avoid any sleep/lockup/wakeup issues.
I don't think Phoenix is a better kernel than MixUp, nor do I think MixUp is, just for right now, Phoenix is working better for MY phone. I'll probably continue to bounce back and forth between these two as newer versions of each are released.
The below screen shot was after some light usage, a few phone calls, little bit of texting, maybe about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time on Wi-fi, maybe 30min to 1hr of games, maybe an hour of web surfing.
Baked Snack 1.3 with Phoenix 1.49.
I got about 13.5 hours of battery yesterday.
I used the baked snack kernel for a few days with noobl's andromeda (de odex) rom.. With many apps I didn't need, removed. I had many lockups (especially while charging) where a battery pull was the only way to get out. The only consistent crash I could find was if I was plugged into ac, with screen off, and received a notification, e.g. gmail message.. Which meant for me, no wake up alarm in the morning. I liked the speed, but the instability, on my setup at least, had me switch back to mixed up kernel. I still don't have the best battery life, but I'm getting to the bottom of that in the mixed up thread. Fwiw.
Sent with my 4G interwebs.
by far my favorite and my current set up: apophis 1.1 (rom) and baked snack 1.3 (kernel), overclocked to 1.3 ghz.
i get linpak scores of 10.5 + consistantly and quadrant scores of 1010 + consistantly. this is the fastest combination ive ever used. when i first unplug it, the battery usually drops down to 95% in a couple minutes but steadies out after that. by the end of the day, once i get home from school, i usally have at least 20% left. and that's with 4g always on and moderate to heavy usage. once plugged in, it charges at a steady and fast rate.
i have my phone stripped down to bare minimum and only a few apps that i need. ive had zero black screens and few to none force closes upon rebooting but none to freak out about or anything that proves a problem.
props to the developers. thank you for providing the community with your hard work.

Sent through the Matrix.
wtf OP? did you have to make a poll?
I had the same problems as the poster, but i think it was setcpu, i kept messing with the settings. I ended up leaving it on conservative, and it has not turned off on me since.
Im running phonix kernal / epic experience
I get like 20 maybe more hours of usage, fast charges, and only drains very little battery overnight..
i like this setup
I personally use Epic Experience 1.2.0.4 and Phoenix 1.49. I switched the governor to conservative because I had issues with the default interactive and have had zero issues since I switched. I got amazing battery life just 1ghz but I underclocked to 800mhz to improve my battery life even more without compromising on performance. If I'm doing something processor intensive I do bring it back up to 1ghz or even to 1.2ghz haha. But this combo works for me and I got approximately 35hrs with what I would call light usage. With moderate to heavy usage I average about 18hrs.
It definitely seems that Epic Experience / Phoenix is the most popular combo, at least with those voting.
Glad to see others have reported similar experiences to mine with this combo as well.
Could just be mental, but I also seemed to notice that the phone charges a lot quicker than before with this Rom/Kernel as well as not getting as hot while charging. Not sure how/if it could effect this, but it sure "seems" that way.

Maybe that was my problem. I'm now running Baked Snack 1.3 and the kernel says Here_Over. The volume won't work and there are other issues. My wife is gunna kill me if I don't get her a working phone soon. She's going to ask me to take her back to stock. (Ugh)
When following the instructions for flashing Epic Experience I never saw anything about setcpu or a governor. I just left everything at defaults.
First off, this might be a topic for the general forum, but since is pertains directly to development, i thought i would put it here... Mods.. please move if you feel this is inappropriate.
There seems to be some HUGE differences with Ava v10 and battery life and i wanted to try and narrow down what the differences are to see what is up!
What i am curious about and would like you to post is the following:
Hardware Version
Screen
Kernel you are using
battery life / Usage
If we are seeing a pattern here then we should be able to determine the problem and hopefully yield some good data for devs to use. If it is still very random.. then its got to be an app that is causing the issues.
I will start
Hardware 003
Epson
Stock Kernel
8 - 9 hours MAX on moderate - use (lots of texting, some calls, and a little web browsing) Was getting WAY better on v9 before 3.30 update (v9a)
It is apparent the 3.30.2/3 has drastically ****ed battery life. There has been way too many posts about it to ignore it now.
It isn't HTC kernel 17 related like someone said earlier either. It goes deeper than that because I never run HTC kernels, not even for 5 minutes after installing a rom and I notice it very much. It appears that the current during idle isn't affected. And it isn't a rogue program PR anything keeping the CPU from idling. I dunno what it is. But it really is very noticeable.
I wish more dev's would realize it and make updated 3.29s with some of the new stuff built-in like the pnotification pulldown switch thing, and stuff like that.
Thanks azrael so far for not ignoring the situation. Lol. I'm sure HTC will put out a version 3.40.00 or whatever that has ackrite for all hardware versions. And then it will be easier on the devs

It seems only hardware version 0004 is mostly unaffected by the new frame software and I know the only difference is camera hardware but that may be it
Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
Hardware: 003
Screen: not sure how to tell I am a newbie
stock kernel that comes with AVA V10
Right now I am home and not on the road working so my useage is lighter but I did go to bed last night with >50% life remaining and the phone had been off charger >15 hours
4-5 calls none were more than 5 min long
a little texting, couple emails (with polling every 30 min from 8-8), FB and Twitter updating at a regular interval (about every 30 min)
Bluetooth on for around 2 hrs, wifi on most of the day as I was at home using my home network so it was connected and not scanning.
Went to mall for about an hour and that has notoriously bad Sprint signal inside most places.
I ran the following:
hardware 002
Novatek screen
kernel: HTC 10, HTC 11, HTC 17, Kings #10 & #11 (both variants), Netarchy 4.1.9.1 & 4.2.1 beta (havs, no havs, bfs, cfs, smartass)
Some web browsing, facebook, texts, maybe 10-20 min of calls per day if that.
I'd get MAX 6-8 hours from fully charged to completely dead.
Went back to MIUI 11.19 and am consistently getting 15+ hours with moderate to heavy use.
If I try and run any ROM with the 3.30 file system, my battery totally sucks no matter which kernel I use.
Evo hardware version: 003
Screen Type: unknown (don't know how to tell)
3.30-ROMs tested: Ava V10, EViO 2
Kernels: various, in text
When I first switched to the first 3.30-based ROM, I noticed a big reduction in battery life. I tried another and ran into the same thing.
After one day on Ava V10, on a recommendation I tried the EViO 2 v1.6, along with the "netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-nohavs-smartass-universal (No HAVS)" kernel, and with extremely light usage (1 short call, and few texts) after 19-hours I was showing an 89% charge. With this kernel the phone slept very well. The problem was that with that same kernel, even moderate usage sucked the battery very quickly.
So, based on things that I read I switched to the "netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal (More Aggressive Undervolting)". Using this combo, sitting on my desk with zero usage for 11-hours it was displaying 89% charge, so sleeping did not appear to be as efficient. However through the day, normal usage (moderate) seemed to provide a bit more time per charge. It did not appear to be a drastic difference.
On another recommendation, I then tried the netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-cfs-NoHAVS-universal kernel. Overnight, no usage, after 9-hours I was again at 89% charge. Normal usage netted slightly worse time than the netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-nohavs-smartass-universal (No HAVS) kernel provided.
Behavioral observation: The 4.2.1 No HAVS kernel produced slightly higher Quadrant scores than the 4.1.9.1 kernel did, but overall in normal operation, the phone was more sluggish and draggy on the 4.2.1 kernel, while being snappier and feeling faster overall using the 4.1.9.1 kernel.
Also, please note that the best battery time I ever got on any 3.30-based ROM pales in comparison to my experience earlier in the year with DC3.5 and an older Toastmod DC-compatible kernel. Once, after almost 21-hours off the charger, light usage throughout the night and at the very end of a 3+ hour phone call, I got the charge warning that I was at 15%. I don't know why I changed.
At this point I made an inquiry through a friend and was told that the difference between the 3.29-build and the 3.30-build was that the 3.30-build has a few small changes made to support hardware changes on version 004 Evo's only. I was also told that 3.30-build ROMs were not going to run well on 001-003 Evo's. I'm sure that is not absolute and they can be made to, but it may take some work.
Sorry for the novella, and I hope that it helps. Thank you for your time.

what was your "awake" time with this? This will be the tell.
When i ran ava 10 i got like 10 hours max. Alot of the 3.30 roms sucked my battery life. Fresh 3.3 rom gave me best battery life and i upgraded to his 3.4 and my bat sucked. Now im running airbourne rc4 and i think im getting the best battery I've ever had and its 3.30 based. It does have the sense launcher removed but all other sense is still there that could be the problem.
Novatek and 003
I decided to reload v10 and only restore a few essential apps and see where i was at. i did this, and had a full charge late last night.
This was with ALL settings defaulted to what is in v10 and no setcpu. The ONLY thing that i changed was the autokiller settings to "optimum"
It has now been 14.5 hours since i unplugged it (7 was me sleeping)
and "awake time" has only been 2.5 hours
It has been a pretty light day for usage - couple phone calls, mostly texts and emails and i am at 50%
This is MUCH better, but i really have not used my phone like i normally do. And this is with only a few apps installed.

So dont remember where I got this from (someone in another topic), but it completely confirms everything that we have been talking about...
NO 3.30 rom is made for hardware 001-003 period.. directly from sprint.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/com.../blog/2010/11/05/htc-evo-maintenance-releases
so the problem now is devs are either going to have to split their roms in to 2 branches (one for pre-004 hardware and one for 004 hardware) OR... sprint need to come out with a unified release. SO... hopefully devs will read this and make changes accordingly
I updated to the current build, using the samsung tool to update when it came out. I've never rooted, so I have always been stock.
Wiped it, and then went through their whole process to install.
My system shows im running 2.2.1, so I know I did it right.
My question is, Froyo is supposed to have improved linpack scores by up to 5x. I used to get like 8 mflops, and now I get around 13. That is by no means 5x more. Is something not working right? Are other people getting this result?
Next, my battery life is horrible, well much worse then before. While running 2.1, I used Zeam launcher, and had Advanced Task killer set to auto kill everytime I turned my screen off (with the exception of a few apps I used). I would traditionally be able to get like 16 hours of battery life, and still have like 30% battery. This is with texting and web browsing during the day. Now, with minimal texting and less use, ive been getting like 12 hours, and im at like 5% battery life. As far as I know, I have it set up just like I did before. Anyone else running into this at all?
(most of my battery is being used by my Display 89% right now, or so my phone says...)
Maybe I am completely offbase on these, but I want to know if anyone else is running into these questions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am fairly new to Andoroid so take it for what it is worth. I am also experiencing a drop off in battery life since Eclair (which was also no great shakes re. battery life, lasted about a day), and did the requisite things necessary to to extend battery life - screen at lowest setting, no automatic sync, wifi/BT/gps off when not in use. In my case, the hog is display (98% ) which I attribute to spending more time with the phone since Froyo update. In my previous phone, a blackberry, it took several days and a few battery pulls for the OS to completely "settle in" - I don't know if that's the case with Android OS.
Five times!
Where did you hear that? People with certain phones saw close to a 2x improvement because of JIT, but JIT isn't optimized for our phones so it doesn't do as much for us. Personally, I think a 50% improvement with only software changes is pretty impressive.
Also, don't use task killers with 2.2. FroYo has better task management than eclair did. And people who have tried using task killers to improve battery life have reported worse battery life than just sticking with the stock memory management.
And you know that since your display is using almost 90% of your battery, the problem isn't a runaway process. It is more likely that the problem is how much time the screen is on. Get spare parts and tell us what percentage of the time since last charge/boot the screen has actually been on to use so much juice.
Battery could be the TWS (time without signal) bug. Go to Settings > About phone > Battery use > Cell standby. See what your time without signal is at. If more than a couple percent then toggle Airplane mode on and off. Also make sure you update your PRL. You may have to do this every time you reboot. My understanding is that it's a common problem with 2.2 and CDMA devices (not just the Epic).

Yeah,
<http: //developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights. html>
Says 2x-5x. I seeing as i'm not even getting 2x, thats kinda a joke.
But something within the update had to have affected the screens battery use. Like I said before, I had fine battery life not 3 days ago, and now it all of a sudden drops. I HIGHLY doubt that that is a hardware issue. I can test, but I have worked with computer hardware for years, so that just doesn't make any sense to me.
Linpack does not execute any code..it does a floating point calculation..wit JIT you get up to 5x efficiency in code execution..does not mean it crunches numbers faster 5x faster..
The phones that are achieving 5x or more speed are doing so through a flaw in linpack...
Anyone running stock ec05 with the geno kernel? Decided to do this a few days ago. Despite the rfs, overclocked at 1.4 stable is giving me the best experience I've had yet. Also ran titanium backup and froze every piece of crap I found. My battery is amazing. Just yesterday I went 26 hours. For stock that's pwnage. Everything is extremely stable. Xda is the number one force closing app for me and it hasn't happened once. Everything is speedy and snappy even with rfs. And I dunno if its me but custom epic roms seem to screw up gpu drivers somewhere. Dungeon defenders is running better than it ever has at a smooth 40 plus fps. Scoring a 1300 in quadrant, 2700 in antutu. Here's my smartbench 2010 for kicks ) cheers lentlemen.
also found this weird battery snapshot I took of ef02 or something last week.

Roms aren't the answer for everyone. I kicked around going stock myself but the grip of the rom is too strong. I have been running the Urban Fury series' from CompKid and SRF 1.x.x. Haven't ran 1.2 yet and I doubt I will. Just doesn't have anything over 1.1 that I would want.
1.4 OC is very nice.
I have a similar experience with the GPU. Even though custom roms would give me better bench scores and overall snappiness, I'd get noticable lag and choppiness in some games. I've been back to stock for a while now and it pretty much runs every app smoothly. The Gingerbread leak was silky smooth and snappy, but after a while random reboots made me go back to Froyo. Between the game lag and clicks/pops I'd get in music playback with voodoo, stock has been the best for me even though there are several things I liked about a couple of the customs. I may have to give genocide another go around by itself rather than paired with a rom to see how it goes.
Ever since I nailed down what was draining my phone over wifi, I get excellent battery on stock. Went 30+ hours the other day with about an hour or so of display time on, and still had 25% left before I plugged it in. Most of the battery issues with this phone (from my experience anyway) is simply the phone not going into deep sleep properly, whether it's an app or in my case, something on wifi network. I have things like LP Facebook widget and weather syncs set to 3 hours.

What was draining your mini nuke over wifi?? Also app freezing is the ****. All drm and **** that drains my battery while in sleep mode is gone. Going to power cycle the battery and then give it a test run with the [email protected] 1.3 and 1.4 are awesome but require overvolting. Trying to go for amazing battery life here. Also running the phone @600MHz Compared to 1GHz you barely notice a difference.

Hi everyone
this is my first android phone and I'm facing quite an unfamiliar problem because I don't see a lot of people posting about it but the ones that do wonder what's the cause of it
First I started with Rocket Rom and abyss kernel, I noticed that my phone gets really laggy after 5 minutes playing games and keeps lagging when exiting them, antutu graphics benchmarks are always capped to 30fps if I run a complete test, so I changed to CF-root and my problem was gone, but still I wanted a tweaked custom kernel so I tried FM and after a while a got the same problem again, so I figured out it was a temperature problem and went back to CF-root.
Yesterday after almost one hour playing it happened on CF-root too, so I get really pissed off because I have a device that I SHOULD be able to game on, and I can't do it for a reasonable period of time due to heating, on abyss kernel in less than 5 minutes I would experience that in a game (that's why I could never run an antutu full test, the first cpu tests heated it up too much already), FM was better but still, I guess I played 30 minutes before it slowed down, and with CF-root I was already upset because it is not nearly as fast the abyss and FM but it was ok... for just 1 hour!
so presuming this is a general problem, what do you guys do when that happens, or what would you advice me to do? underclock to 1ghz?
Also, I don't think everyone's device heats up as quick as mine, so should I classify my note as defective?

That's happened to me on two phones htc incredible and wildfire s, try going back to stock with the stock kernel if that helps. If it doesn't then you may have a defective model.

Have you tried rebooting a couple times after getting everything setup? My Note seems to be doing a similar thing, last night after flashing Rocket Rom with abyss kernel for the first time just using market, browsing, etc while setting everything back up my phone was getting really warm and even just browsing the app drawer was slowing way down. I've since rebooted a bunch of times and it seems to be better, but it's still getting warm
I'm just learning about tegrak stuff right now, his app has a lock gpu 267 option, dual core always active, I think I'm going to downclock to 1.2 and try those options.
Also I will reboot a couple of times, I don't know if the correct way is to just reboot twice or everytime after flashing reboot twice wiping caches and stuff (full wipe? twice?)
