incdoes hd desire rom, KK#5.
i always loved sense... thats why i never tried another rom.. then i saw the new sense and fell in love with it. been using it since i think .3
Currently running The New Guy and loving it. It's very smooth. I also ran Uncommon Sense for awhile and loved everything about that ROM, too; it's a toss up which is better IMO. I've tried most ROMs and liked the features of Sense overall better than the AOSP ROMs.
Skyraider 3.3 + IncRevolution = SEXY @$$ PHONE!
(also throw in King Kernel BFS #5 for quickness and battery life)
I use my own roms most of the time with king 5 cfs (for sense) and king 1 cfs (for vanilla) and the colin-ph battery tweak.
This makes for a sexy and stable phone

I'm running Ruby 1.1.1 with Adrynalyne's battery aosp kernel. I'm a big fan of vanilla roms and I like how lightweight Ruby is. I might switch to CM 6.1 when the final release comes out though.
Skyraider 3.3.1 Sense, by far my favorite ROM and I've flashed plenty. It has the key features of the new Sense and has been 100% stable and bug free. I was one of the beta testers and even then it was amazing. I've tried many others and always come back. Kings BFS #5, again for good measure.
I love stock sense 2.2. I use the leaked version.
I have added features which were important to me by studying kernels. I chose hydrakernel undervolted v0.5.
My battery life it's awesome without screwing around with task killers.
Kings kernels sound great too.

Thanks man but i cannot find it anywhere
Ok so i looked it up and it seems like it basically does exactly what i have setcpu already doing. And yes i use set cpu with a kings kernel and it works wonderfully for me.
My favorite by far is Redemptive rEVOlution. Very smooth, haven't had a FC yet, and the battery life is nice. This is with WiFi and Bluetooth on the entire time, and no bump charge with the Seido 1750.

On average id say i probably get around 16-20 hours on my stock battery which works for me and i keep my 3g and gps on at all times

on your attached screenshots.. how'd you get the tab locks remapped and up top like that?
Hey guys,
I've lost track on all the roms out there. So I hope you guys could help me finding a fast and battery optimized rom.
I'm currently using Darky's ROM, which is kind of nice,
but uses to much battery for me (only have 1.5 days).
I don't care about any special feature... just speed, market showing all apps and long battery life. Anything else is a nice to have...
thanks for your help
Hi,
Ive tried them all, but get best battery on darkyy 5.5, with voodoo advanced 1.1 oc 1200 kernel.
Dont know why but it is awesome!

how often do you need to refresh your battery?
And what is special about this kernel?

lol! How can you get the best battery when you overclock!?
I'm now running JPY stock and I think you get the best battery life by using the stock kernel (no overclock, no other filesystem like ext4). It's plenty fast as well...

Theres a good post from curio on why this works, will try and dig it out. Essentially, less processor time is used for the same number of commands. (Oc doesnt mean your devices constantly runs at 1200 mhz tho)

You mean you want a Rom with the stock aosp launcher. I recommend trying virtuous G-Lite. Read the instructions in the OP, for info on how to get the stock launcher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076786
G-Lite has the best battery life of any Rom I have ever tested.
And are you aware that you don't need to stick with the launcher that comes with a Rom? You can install which ever is your favourite and uninstall the one that comes included with the Rom.

Stock Rom for sense and virtuous G-Lite for asop
Once again I reccomend meXdroidMod PreGhostChilli. It is a very fast asop build that has waydownsouth's tweaKr script built into it. So as long as you use the included kernel you can set profiles for your processor via tweaKr script that react MUCH faster than any app (like setCPU). You can also undervolt your processor, tweak your i/o, and install the smart cpu script; all of those things will do wonders for battery life. I can squeeze an entire day of HEAVY usage out of my phone, and nearly two days of moderate to light usage (and I have an almost bad battery), just be sure and take the time to properly calibrate your battery after flashing the rom.

Okay, so suppose I wanted a rom exactly like this one any ideas because I live gingerbread yet I'm not a fan of sense

AOSP: Virtuous G-Lite hands down, it's a 2.3.3 version that is very stable. Comes with LauncherPRO and is as stock as you can be. No lag anywhere and can be overclocked as well with the included kernel, though, now i think RMK and team included a script that automatically overclocks up to 1.2GHz for you by default. About 1 day of heavy use on a charge, just less than 2 days of light use on a charge.
Other: MIUI Official English, it's a 2.3.4 version that is incredibly stable with the CRT screen off animation. Alittle weird to use at first, but it's really easy to pick up on. Overclockable to 1.5GHz using CPUTuner or SetCPU. Lasts about 3 days of light use on a charge. About 1.5 days of heavy use on a charge.
You should try Virtours G-lite, best of any ROM I have used. 1 thing is more Free RAM to play ^^

Can Virtuous G-lite handle any apps you throw at it? (e.g. Angry Birds/Cut The Rope/Robot Unicorn Attack?)
Or does it sacrifice performance for battery life?

Performance is perfect, there is plenty of free ram, so even the most intensive games will run perfectly.

I know I've seen your name in the forums before, but forget what you're using now. Have you tried either of the EliteMod versions (one CM7, one ICS?) I'm using the latter now and very happy with it for speed, battery and UI (Apex launcher.)

I second this, for ICS either elitemod or Andromadus mimicry. Apex launcher.
Though for gingerbread, I'd say elitemod CM7 or g2slim.
Also for an even faster and lighter launcher there is lightning launcher.

Yeash, I must ask a lot of questions then, lol. I am currently on Gen. Y Vision B5. However I have found it very slow and buggy. I have also tried Andromadus Mimicry. It was the best i'd seen, but I wanted something which had better battery life.
Will have a look at EliteMod Now.

ILWT for me...
MIUI
Better battery life + Good Look = its definitely MIUI
from my experience MIUI has the best battery life.. abt 2 hours of music, txting, wifi, browsing and total of 30min calling, yet i always come home above 30%

I know that I've asked this before but does these ROMs set the phone's CPU to a default speed? Or do you do that yourself by using something like the SetCPU app?
I'm in the process of rooting my phone and will be looking at GB ROMs such as MIUI, ILWT and CM7.

MIUI doesn't have a built in feature to set CPU speeds. But most other CM based roms does have such option built in. Look for something like Performance->CPU in settings. There you can set a CPU governor too
I thought MIUI was discontinued for our devices?
It is confusing because of the several Miui sites. But that is the impression I get, too. I just spent a certain amount of time looking, and failed to come up with anything current.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Yes they discontinued support for the vision after gingerbread. Anything found that is android 4.0 or higher will be ports, not to say they will be good or bad but they won't be specific to our phones

Yes it is... But it is stable and it has every feature needed. I have used MIUI without restarting for more than a week. No glitches though. But sure can use extra stuff like miui_bulletproof_pack, though Im not using it.
Its a stable rom + with super cool look + good performance and good battery life. What else do we need

G-light hands down its fast stable gives you the option of choosing kernels before flashing (conservative HTC kernel or full featured kernel capable of 1.4ghz Oc) . As for issues their ain't none I've been using g-light since it came to play . The screen issue must of been a bad flash

Recently rooted my phone and have used a number of different ROMs. The ICS ROMs for this phone seem to heat up my battery and drain it quite quickly. GB ROMs don't seem to do that. Is that the nature of ICS for the Glacier?
I'm just wondering what other users' experiences with ICS are.
Thanks.
Its a known issue with ROMs that have the 3.0 kernel. I know that the devs are looking into a solution AFAIK no eta yet.

He said ICS, we don't have any ICS roms with 3.0 kernel (because we would have to re engineer the rom.)
To answer the OP's question, i haven't been on gingerbread for a long time, i don't have a problem with ICS, check your clock speed, your governor and your battery. What rom are you on? And are you sure its not JB?
I was using Glacier_One_V_1.3. Sorry, I'm a noob at the whole kernel/governor thing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
For now, I ended up switching to Skytouch (the i06 port to myTouch) as my ROM.

So, after doing some research, I downloaded System Tuner and changed the Governor to Smartass V2 with a High Threshold of 1.02Ghz and a low of 245Ghz. I'm going to see if that improves my battery life.

I'm very happy with battery life when I use Synthetic.Nightmare's SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG. Is it as good as CyanogenMod 7.1? Hard to say, but possibly not. Haven't noticed anything in terms of heating, though. Newb, so not sure about kernels (except as they relate to linear transformations) but I think I have to be using aosp(x) kernel with that ROM...
My two cents
I am using Glacier_One_V_1.3, very happy with it. waiting for a new kernel about to be released.. and I am sure it'll solve a few issues maybe flickering screen/flipping lock screen and maybe the heating problems. Who knows
Battery life is good for me. yet thinking of getting an alternative battery. Maybe it'll get less hotter.
