Miui battery vs. Bionix 1.3.1 - Vibrant General

I read that Miui has a faster battery drain than some other roms. I was wondering if the battery life is at least on par with an older rom like Bionix.
Anyone go from B1.3.1 to Miui?

Its not the drain is pretty fast but rom is Gingerbread an its fast an smooth an has different look from any other rom

Yea it does drain faster and you probably will quickly notice an hour in decreased life.
I suggest not overclocking.

This is absurd. Why are you being so hostile? Did someone force you to sit at a desk and punch in a bunch of numbers every 108 minutes? Did someone steal your baby?

I'm running CM7, which I've read is very similar to MIUI. When I was using Bionix I could go at least 24 to 36 hrs without charging with my typical minimal use (using edge network). On CM7 I get about 13 to 16 hrs, but CM7 runs rings around Bionix as far as responsiveness goes. It's fast and smooth!

Nopee You Just Choose The One You Like....Dead Horse Its One Of The best .. and overstock too
I personally like Overstock with Bionix. I get about what everyone else is getting with this set up, 1700's, for the quadrant. I read too many issues with Deadhorse vs Overstock so I went with it.
FTR, I was keeping up with the different builds right up to maybe the last two so I am NOT saying Deadhorse is bad. Many people have been satisfied with it.
Deadhorse from what I read is a little more customizable than Overstock but when it comes to the kernel I don't like to get that technical. I like mine in "here you go" form.

No, but if he's complaining about how long it takes to charge, he DOES need to make sure he charges it all night. If he's charging his phone to "90"% or "95"%, without charging it to 100%, then he's screwing up his battery stats and may want to recalibrate due to that. His battery is probably making it seem like he's in worse shape (battery-wise) than he really is, because the battery is possibly underreporting how much time it really has left.
Yes recalibrate your battery.
Word of advice. Turn off your data if all your gonna do is play music, text, or call.
dont set your brightness too high or on auto, and i reccomend the trigger roms they are stable and have good battery life

If your into experimenting Eugene is working on an ICS rom. It is still in Alpha but data works you can make calls receive text. Not recommended for daily use as the camera and GPS don't work as of yet, but if you don't mind being on the bleeding edge its an awesome start.
I found a ics miui and I'm gonna test it when I get home.

Thats the same theme I had on MIUI 2 days ago as well, its pretty sweet. I switched over to see what the progress was with the ICS rom but that theme and MIUI is very nice as well
I used to be a big benchmark dude, however ive found overclocking cant make up for bloat. Streamline, day to day use ill take snappy over speed, check cpu spy usage, you rarely use 1200 or 1300. the vibrant cpu is just working with what you loaded.
Right now I'm currently using this miui,I forget the name. Using a ice cream sandwich theme.clocked at 1.6 gigahertz. Getting a benchmark of 1760-20000

+1 Once I found out that you can cheat Quadrant benchmarks about a year ago, I never took much stock in them and have not posted any scores bc I agree with Tibbs, functionality and snappiness are where the payday is at. Anyone can pull a 2500-3000 on Quadrant with a few build.prop and egl edits but if you have constant FC's, then what is the point? I'm using Toxic8 OC'd at 1200 and pull 2100's but I never get FC's and it is a great daily driver.

I'm going to throw this out there.

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.
I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

It really is much better, but it dropped one of the e's in "needed". I hadn't noticed the background thing because I use ADW EX with a theme. It seems fine stock, but I'd love to underclock again so I might just root for that.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

De-odexing isn't supposed to give ya performance boost, it allows you to theme your phone.

Yup, but alot of members here state that the roms under deodex run snappier. In which I disagree.

GB ROM vs. CM10 ROM on battery life?

Someone said that the Touchwiz 4 or GB ROM is better on battery life then CM1? Is that true?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Battery life depends on many factors.
Try all the available roms for yourself. Anyone can give you an answer, but that doesn't mean it applies to your specific device and battery combination. With regard to battery life and custom roms on any device ... YMMV (your mileage may vary).

Exactly this... there are so many factors on battery life that comparing battery life from one person to another is pretty pointless... but trying the roms out on your phone is a good way to test because you will mainly use your phone the same regardless of the rom you use... so the only way to really tell what is going to have better battery life for you is to flash the roms and try them all out for a few days each....

GB Roms definitely have better battery life. Stock touchwiz fc09 rooted running shadow kernel gives a whole days worth of charge with 2 hour screen time. On cm20 you can watch the percentage drop as you use it, doing that on stock fc09 is like watching water boil lol. It also charges faster. 1 percent about every minute.
Of course, YMMV but this is my personal observation. I'm running cm10 cuz I like jb, but once they fix battery drain it'll be great. I know its possible cuz the battery lasts a lot longer on the night lies than the first unofficial and official preview builds.

My general experience is the same but on cm10. I typically get 3 hrs screen on time, 20-30 minutes of calls, 20 texts or so, usually an hour of game time...and about 18 hours total up time...and I am at around 15% at the end of the night. That was with the 1012 nightly. So it is definitely a YMMV thing! This is on a epic touch 1800 battery.

I was running CM9 when I flashed CM10. I think you can just flash it but I am kind of a newbie. Just do a bit more research. And if you flash cm10, you have to odin back to stock, root, and then flash another ROM you want to flash something besides CM10.

If you want to stick with CM10, I've found that the SimplyCM10 kernel actually helped with battery life. YMMV, but I was draining 1800mAH in ~10 hours and it's >12hrs the last couple of days.

I have 1500 mAh and I go to school with 100%, come home with about 40-20% and to me, that's unacceptable. I never flashed kernels because I never thought they really did anything.

If battery life is a major concern for you, then probably avoid CM9 and CM10. But what you get in trade-off is amazing performance and features that only Jelly Bean has. I have a charger or two at home, one in the car and one at work.. plus a couple extra batteries for emergencies. So having the battery last 'all day' just doesn't mean much in my case.
I'm not too concerned with battery life, cause I have 2 stock 1500mAh batteries, and I usually carry around a usb cord in my backpack just in case.
