Which ROM is best??

im in the process of switching ROMS i did have Fresh 1.0 and it ran pretty smooth really no compliants until recently my battery was draining SUPER FAST!! I couldnt take it anymore so i went back to the stock rom using the RUU recovery. Im trying to decide which is the best ROM out right now and it seem like alot of good things from the Android "2.01-R5V0-6" ROM, just curious has anyone had major issues with the battery life and with which ROM? Please all help would be great and which ROM i should choose to be the smoothiest and most battery life friendly

Battery drain is a 1.5 issue, not a Freshhh issue. Any ROm you use that is based from 1.5 is going to have that issue. You can ease the pain by disabling all location settings, as this is what causes the drain.

Gingerbread 2.3 ROM

Hey guys, just wondering what the best Gingerbread ROM is for the HD2.
Thanks.

The one you prefer, after trying all that is available.

Well is there one that stands out above the rest or anything?
I've only found 2 Gingerbread ROMs on here so far.

Then try them and see which one you prefer

i don't know why so much people are asking for the "best" rom, instead of testing them by themself. tastes are different and in case of gingerbread you don't have much options...
i love mdj's gingerbread 1.8a - everything works with awesome speed.

hows your battery life? I've tried ALL of the froyo nands. I've been wanting to switch over to gingerbread but I'm waiting until the major bugs get ironed out. Battery life being the biggest one.

you complain about battery life on ginger bread? for me gingerbread has by far the best battery life. hd roms and builds drained my battery very fast - especially when i'm using the phone a lot. i just flashed 1.8a some hours ago (used 1.5 some time ago), so i can't tell you much about total drain in hours. but from what current widget says, standby drain is 3-4ma.

I'm not complaining about gingerbreads battery life. I was just asking. I haven't run it yet. I've heard that battery life is terrible on it.
I'm using TopiaHD nand (2.2.1) and getting about 2mA standby
As well another concern of mine is TMOUS mms. I do a lot of picture messaging and the blurry MMS kills me. TopiaHD has perfect TMOUS mms.
So with battery life not being terrible on 2.3......last thing is the MMS. Is there any word on that yet?

don't feel attacked by my words. my english isn't good enough to express exactly what i want to
well can't tell you much about mms, since i'm not using it. if you get 2ma on a hd build you should stick with it. i got 3-4ma in standby on gingerbread, compared to hd builds i used before with 5-7ma standby it's a hugh improvement. especially as i said before, it lasts much longer while playing around!

Can the Froyo builds by Parad0XUA or dan1j3l be put on NAND?

you should ask the devs of course.

I'll get on that, also what's the main difference between Froyo and Gingerbread?

people ask this all the time
but really it depends where u live, in my experience i have horrible battery life with kb1 but it may not be the same with your case, u just have to try them to see which are the best jk6 and jk7 are usually better for battery life and they do actually have decent performance, im using ka7 and im happy with the battery life its great and i get go service with it

Awesome! Thank you
I have hit my limit but i will remember to hit thanks tomorrow

I'm using KB1 and I get both good signal and great battery life.

I try different combinations all the time. Sure it's a bit time consuming and I've had to Odin back a lot in the beginning because I had no idea of what I was doing but...Make sure you read and follow all the instructions lol. I love that the Vibrant is so customizable like this. I came from a Cliq. All you did was flash a zip and there you go.

[Q] ROM with best battery life?

Hi there. There seems to be a number of tweaked ROM's for the Aria and unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy enough to understand the different kernels. From your personal experience, which ROM gave good battery life on the Aria?
I'm currently running CM7.0.0 and usually gets a day with normal usage. I'm willing to drop down to froyo if it means more battery life. Any input would be awesome.

if you use setcpu just flash my kernel as it has lower cpu speeds and no need for a screen off profile

Can you flash the kernel on any ROM? Do you lose any data? SetCPU bottoms out at 246 for me right now, but I know I've seen others here at lower. I'm running FR008.

Just because it's gingerbread doesn't make it awesome. Still has its downsides. 2.2.2 and fr008 have been so refined its stupid. I get the best battery life out of those. Setcpu with 2.2.2 gives me a warm sensation.

CM7's battery life, when the GPS libraries aren't forcing the CPU to 100%, is good. A day or so. Maybe more.
2.2.2 is a little over a day on average, and CM6.1.1 can go up to as much as two days. So CM6 is the winner with battery life. But it's Froyo.

I'm getting two days with moderate usage with FR008...

By 2.2.2 do you mean Gene Poole's hfr003b? Do I just flash that as a ROM or are there other kernel or settings things I need to flash? There seems to be a lot of zips on his post. Sorry for my noobness

Flashing the ROM is enough. It comes with a kernel that will let you overclock only while you're using SetCPU. If you don't use that app it will run like a stock kernel and will give you great battery life. That's my choice and I'm happy with it.

Cool. Thanks everyone.

Recommendations?

Hey guys,
I've ran this thing stock from day one. I've loved it, but the itch is coming back. I need mods. I need kernels. I need mo cowbell!
That being said, I think I'm still going to run stock for now. Anyone recommend a specific kernel? I've been looking at HolyDragon a lot. I'm looking for a bump in performance with a significant jump in battery life.
Also, anyone use that stereo speaker mod? How does that work for you guys on speaker phone calls?

You need to flash sky dragon ROM. Its made by the same dev who codes holy angel kernel and the kernel is included in the ROM. I can easily get over 8hrs of screen on time and the mods are pretty decent. I wish they included status bar and navbar colors on the mods but oh well. The ones they come with are enough to keep the phone looking fresh , especially the nifty built-in font changer. Trust me you won't regret it.

If you want great performance and battery life, check out the SkyDragon rom, it's got the HolyDragon kernel built in and I get 8-9 hours of SOT.

In my opinion I feel that Smurf Kernel ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/development/kernel-smurfkernel-2-0-49-t3868360 ) gives me the best battery life. I recommend this one to anyone with this phone.

I'm running stock rom with Omega Kernel. After calibration of a day or so battery life pushes me towards 8hrs of SOT with 42-46 hours of battery life.

Stock OB?
Edit: squared away on Omega Kernel for now. Working great on OB11.
Thanks all!
