Try the MIUI build (any). If you like the nexus one builds you will definitely love the MIUI build. If you don't like the iphone looking style just install ADW or launcher pro from the market. You will also need to use an android friendly wm rom. Use vbn with excellers multiple build loader both are found in the android development section. When you use the build loader app chose auto boot 3 seconds, ( you will know what I'm talking about when you are in the app). Hope this helps
i tryed just about every rom, got atleast 24hrs with all of them. most were 48+ with conditioning... for me bat life was more an isue of shutdown voltage in the kernel than any thing else..

Strange some people say to switch to that from Desire or Desire HD builds because it has better battery life ?
I am running
MDJ Revolution 1.7 with MDJ 7.6HD Kernel
Radio 2.15.50.14
I find that the above radio is better on battery than my previous 2.12.50.xx
Also the Kernel is better too.
But it depends on how much you play with your phone I get 3 - 7ma drain on my current setup but of course when you start calling or playing games it will easily go up to 200ma.
I find the above rom very stable I can't find anything that doesn't work and its fast enough for me I don't notice any lag or freezing.
I was thinking of switching to your ROM to try but if the battery life is that bad then I may stick with this.
guyz lil but of an update here still on the same rom and i've manged to last 14 hours and i still have 72 % in the battery, with very little usage a couple of texts couple minutes of browsing and some music
im using setcpu greenpower and advanced task killer
ssetcpu is at the minimum
advanced task killer set to auto kill - crazy (means it kills apps as soon as screen goes off)
greenpower set to manage wifi and mobile data, turns off wifi and data when there is low traffic and turns it off as soo ans the screen goes off
its working for me so far so just wanted to post it up incase anybody else wanted to know
I have been bouncing around from rom to rom trying to figure out which has the best battery life, its too hard to tell. I know that htc sense roms killed my battery off faster, but no matter what it tends to die off much quicker than it did before I put android on it in the first place. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

I did the same as you, rom hopping...
But everytime i came back to where i am now:
AF403 Desire HD
This is a great rom for your battery.
But as in any rom you should think about what you wanna sync and when.
I use LauncherPro instead of Sense, and I think it better then Sense.
Thanks, so basically 2.2 rom's without sense? And does apps2sd or ext4 have any effect on battery life?

One suggestion for people that are concerned with battery life...
I recently did an experiment of sorts and turned off 3G on my phone. I found that I went from 1 day per full charge to 3 days per charge. I obviously didn't have updates from the email app, twitter, facebook etc., but I just turned 3G on every now and then and updated everything manually. I've since started leaving 3G off whenever I don't need it and generally get 2 days use out of a full charge.
Obviously this won't suit everyone, but if turning off 3G when you don't need it is an option for you then you will definitely experience a much better battery life!

For best battery, don't use Sense.
For best internal memory use ext4, this is better then apps2sd.
This does not realy effect your battey

I really love this build "DL DesireZ v3.3 final][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v2.3][Nand/SD/MAGLAR]"
can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913597
It's a NAND version but there is SD version as well.. (nand v. download link can be found on page 192 because the author didn't update the post yet)
For me it's perfect. The battery life lasts for a complete day. I listen to music about 2-2.5 hours, use internet for about 20-30 min a day and make a few calls. But I always turn internet off when I don't use it it really saves battery (i think it works for any build). Also 1 day I listened to music for 6 hours, used internet for +-30 mins and there was still 37%. I was really impressed!
Decent battery life
Currently I'm using- MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 and my way is to switch off data. I'm switching on whenever I need. With regular use of data( switch on/off) my battery last for almost three days.

Are you serious? I mean I haven't tried CyanogenMod 7 ROM but what I remember back to stock WM6.5 it was easily last for 1 day for me with normal use.. And now I have the same results on Android (desirez v3.3 rom), I'm very satisfied with that. However 3 days it's kind of hard to believe or I'm wrong? Anyway, how much do you use your phone during the day?

I am far from a noob, its just that I have been on aosp roms for months now. I have been checking out these new 3.0 roms but I never see information on battery life. Could you tell me your set up and how your battery life is. I also worry about the performance but need the phone to get through not of the day. Thank you

I was on stock OTA GB for about a month while I wasn't able to root, and my battery life was about 6 hours with constant lowest brightness display (that is, without the display turning off during that time). I could manage about 12 hours of minimal use.
I'm now on Synergy RLS1, and I have not noticed any improvement. I've done battery calibration and conditioning and nothing's changed.
I'm using the stock battery. I have a 3500mAh battery that doesn't seem to live much longer, but I haven't used it since I've rooted.

Oh wow, I know stock sucks, but I figured that rooted sense would at least be better. Just wondering have you tried to change your kernel? What kernel are you on? Also have you tried any tips on here, to lower down your sync and such? Thanks
I'm using Synergy RLS1 and I have the extended battery as well. I got like 27 hours on a single charge. I don't know if that is amazing or not but, it is better than when I ran the stock rom

I'm using aggressive Freedom v0.8.5. That's my battery life after 5 or 6 cycles. I don't know what the problem is either. I've seen other people with good battery life with the same ROM and kernel. Even had it underclocked.
I'm going to try CM7 and see if there's any sort of improvement.

How old is your battery? Also did you flash it right, I usually wipe the device, cache and delvik cache 2-3 times each.

I got the phone new from Sprint just a little over a month ago. I flashed it along with the rom, so I wiped it including cache and dalvik cache.
I bought the extended battery about a week after thinking that my original battery may have been defective and that it would be nice to have a longer lifetime, but it only doubled (which isn't drastic considering how short it lasts with the stock battery).

I dont think that my rom is 3.0,i believe its 2.1but I may be wrong.anyway,that said,im running Synergy RC2 with godmode.ive noticed an inbelieveable change in battery life.i had about 92% like 9 hours ago, im at 76% now and thats with using a few apps when I woke up.godmode utilizes a hybrid filesystem witg Yaffs2 and EXT.im still learning about it,but I guess using this hybrid FS makes performance.phenominal.ive seen an amazingg improvement in battery life.im using the stock battery as well.it comes with a stock kernel,so im not under or overclocking.

Thanks to both of you. Last night I flashed Synergy 3.0 with Freedom. I'm on 60% after about 11 hours. Most of which the phone was sleeping.

I'm new to the forums, new to EVO - coming from iphone 4, I must say.. have tried atleast 15 different roms, all of which drastically suck the life out of my battery.. gingerbread evo deck definitely seemed to be the best for my battery life.. I'm trying MikG right now and it seems hideous, love how it runs/looks but going from 100-80% battery, in less than 20minutes is not good. All i've been doing is browsing tapatalk forums.
Not sure what I've been doing wrong, I do ofcourse do a complete wipe between rom changes. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, and run superwipe vr - using armon latest. ( think that's what it is called lol)
Im running synergy rls1 with Freedom 0.8.5 morefreedom version and getting a good 16 hrs of moderate use. Also have carasoul 3.0 rosie so it might take it down a little bit.
Like others in the forum have mentioned, there is a very serious bug that causes the phone to just turn off when something more power intensive is turned on (especially mobile data).
I'm fairly sure my battery still holds a lot of charge after my phone turns off, and I'm getting poor battery life because of that. Changing back to old roms doesn't fix it, but I don't want to buy a new battery because I think this one should still be healthy.
So, my question is, what can I do? Is there anything else I should wipe besides batterystats.bin? Something a reflash or data/cache wipe doesn't remove? I tried to fully discharge the battery, but the phone always turns off much before it's empty.
Also, how can I be sure this bug wouldn't affect my new battery, if I were to buy a new one?
Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

For better battery backup, I recommend you to flash "Fugumod" kernel v2.4 Beta 3 (Flash standard edition if 800mhz version causes lag). I have tested the battery life and I got 5-6 days backup (Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS is on)

Thing is, I'm not getting bad battery backup. It's more like the phone just turns off if I actually try to use it. With mobile data on and to some extent wifi it just turns off in minutes or seconds. A full charge lasts for 2 hours or less with 3G on. I've tried other roms and kernels, including stock, but nothing fixed it.
For example, is there an app/method to prevent the phone from shutting down, only allowing a"hardware" shutdown? I mean only when the battery reached a critical voltage and stopped discharging for safety reasons, or something. Maybe that way I could properly calibrate it.

I flash CM7.2 few days ago and I'm fall in love with it
But, 5 days later, I'm not impressioned with battery life on CM7.2. It is better on stock ROM I cleared battery stats after flashing, but battery duration is not improved. CPU governor was INTERACITIVE and battery have life duration about 6-7 hours with low/medium using. Unacceptable!
Then, I change CPU governor to ONDEMAND and battery is better for a 1-2 hours. But, not better enough. 8-9 hours with medium usage is still smaller than with stock ROM (12-13 hours)
I won't to restore stock ROM, a love CM...
My dipslay have brightness around 30% (on stock was on 50% or on auto) and I thing that there is some issues with brightness in CM7.2.
Before I reboot phone, battery level was around 60%. When booted again 66%. Few minutes later, it was 60% again. That you can see on screenshot.
Every morning when I wake up, CM showing battery level for 1% smaller than 8 hours ago. But, 10-15 minutes later, it drain 10-15% battery.
I'm using stock kernel.
May someone help me to fix this?

Are you sure that reflashing will solve problem?
Did you flash another kernel ?
I'm running CM7.2 for about 4 months now, and previously RC1, RC2 and 7.1, and I'm not having any issue.
I use the interative governor (min 245, max 1024), I get at least a 12 hours battery life upon normal to heavy use.
If I don't use a lot my phone, I can get up to 36h.
I remember I tried LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel and the battery life was better and performance excellent (governor was smartassv2).

How to change kernel from stock to LordModUE?
Thanks
1. Download the last available kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725 or directly : http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
2. Put the zip on your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Make a nandroid backup !!
5. Flash the kernel
6. Reboot and enjoy
EDIT: another good thing is to use currentwidget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&hl=fr), do a full charge until you reach 0mA, then reboot into recovery, wipe your battery stats, let your phone reach 0mA again, then unplug your phone. This should fully reset your battery, and let your ROM properly calibrate it.

Yes.
I was on CM7.2 a few weeks ago. I got pretty good battery life. About 2 full days.
I only used 2G & WiFi.
One thing you have to know about flashing a new kernel is that you absolutely need to first boot the ROM with its original kernel first !
As you seem to have many problems, you should:
- full wipe/factory reset, reformat everything except your sdcard
- check the md5sum of the zip (rom especially) on your sdcard
- be sure your battery is fully charged
- flash the rom
- boot it, do not link with your google account
- let your battery charge again
- wait a few minutes
- unplug your phone and reboot
- link your google account
- test if you still have a battery drain but do not install any application, as some of them could cause your battery issue
- make a nandroid backup
- flash the other kernel if needed
- restest battery draining
Hope it'll help !

If you're still having battery drain after following all the useful tips you were giving, it's a possibility it could be the battery it self. You may want to try a different battery to see if you get better results.

Sorry, just lurking. Do you have a GB radio? I've found that running an ICS radio w/ CM7 causes overheating & major battery drain on some devices.

Batteries can go bad fairly quickly.
You could always reflash. Sometimes a fresh wipe is nice (no pun intended)
