All custom ROMs should help battery, if you don't overclock, but remember watching films is IMMENSELY power heavy, so you will likely still only get a few hours of that (if you're lucky).
Remember to reduce CPU as low as possible for max battery, and try different CPU governors in kernels.

Thanks alot mate. Im currently running sense hero atm. Its not oc at the mo but think il look at reducing the clock n get a disable apn widget
Thanks again

I found much better battery life with the three 2.2 roms that i have tried than the many 2.1 with sense.

So did I. FroydVillain 1.5.0 is a lot better than VillainROM 12.

Opinions on Roms

What is your favorite Rom and why? I'm currently using virtuous and I like it because of the extended battery life and its just a better stock Rom. Now your turn forum members

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

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

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.

Look up Colin-ph battery mod for evo. It saves battery and perverts overheating...its awesome

I like Skyraider Vanilla, hydra kernel launcher pro. Stable, fast and does everything I want.

Im keeping an eye on the liquid rom with sense
But for now im running the new virtuous and i get like 18 of battery with 3g the whole time and like 8 hours or so of screen on

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

[Q] OC Questions (PROs/CONs)

Recently got Droid X Overclock and have been playing with it. I've seen the CPU Benchmark and Quadrant threads, got some decent scores but seems to be most stabile @ 1300 Undervolting.
What exactly are the benefits, what's the difference between the voltages? Currently undervolting because my impression is it'll give me longer battery life, but read some threads saying it is somewhat a myth? Can anyone that truly understands this comment?

Im going to make this as simple as possible. I can only tell that it makes a difference in benchmarking.

Same here... lol

Neither of you can tell a difference with battery life?
I've been wanting to overclock/undervolt, but I was curious as well. Do I have to overclock each time I flash or upgrade a ROM? I'm currently on Liberty 1.0, but once they come out with an update would I need to overclock once again?
Thanks in advance.

I am on Apex 1.3 and have noticed increased battery life but not sure if its due to the ROM or undervolting.. will most likely check out Fission or Liberty tomorrow.

I OC/UV to 1.3 ULV settings in liberty lastnight. My phone has been on for 10 hours, display on with heavy use for about 45 mins, still at 90%. So far, that is a bit better then any other OC setting I used, and it's very stable. I noticed with other settings, I had weird reboots, so I think a lot of it depends on what works for your phone the best. I would test them out and see the results.

Don't forget to install setcpu after flashing the rom. My recommendations:
Min 200mhz max 600 for great battery life but slow phone
Min 200 or 300mhz max 800 for average performance
Min 300mhz max 1ghz for good performance and so-so battery life
My phone works stable even on 1.1 and 1.2 ghz but then I get big battery drain.
Another tip: default phone dialer is very slow/laggy. I use exDialer from playstore instead

Battery will drain faster, phone will be warmer. Some CPU's can't handle 1GHz so your phone may lag and you will have to change to a non-oc kernel.

For me purumod3.0 is too good
It is non overclocked... simply fast ..no lags... battery charging lasts for >36 hrs depends on ur usage.... impresses with his work(jason)

Battery Life/Temp When Running ICS

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.
