Best ROM for battery life - Desire HD General

Hi, everyone, I've heard the sense based ROMs have better battery life for Desire HD, so anyone knows wich is the best for battery life between:
LeeDroid
CoreDroid
Android Revolution
?
Thank you very much!

Yeah 3 very nice roms.
I think it's a personal journey.
You might try them all and see what you prefer.
Make sure you disable anything you don't need running in the background.
Some other users will know better than me though.
Most users seem to use Android Revolution in the which rom do you have thread.
Maybe because it stays true to the original visual experience.

Hello,
I have tried stock rom, revolution hd and miui.
MIUI has really better battery drain , it has a nice look too.
I think htc sense cause an increase in battery drain.

You get better battery life with MIUI?

Virtuous unity has some pretty good battery life better then android revolution i found for my use.

I have used ARHD (which is good) and a few different CM7 Roms and the best to date is Alienminds CM7 Rom updated with LorD's 6.2 BFS Kernel. I use Juice Defender but leave CPU control to the Rom.
I Put the phone down last night at 11pm with 72% battery and when I picked up at 8am it was...... 72%
I use the mugem 1500ma battery. Part way through the third cycle. I have been trying to go through the 5 cycles quickly but even using the phone solid for 3 hours it only dropped 25%. Screen use over those 3 hours was 93%.
I would, without doubt, recommended this setup.... very happy!

Forgot to say, I also use the puv under volting script with LorD's 6.2 kernel.

I've had great battery life with mike1986's Android Revolution HD 5.2.2 Rom. It's very fast, very smooth, and i've had no problems with it (although a few are reporting wifi connection issues).
I think he's releasing 5.2.3 today/soon which should increase battery life even further! Can't wait!

I'm using Android Revolution HD 5.2.2 and I'm happy about it battery life is ok

I am on Mr.Garak Miui 1.7.22v2 and have no battery drain (on screen off 3-5ma)

I think Doubleshot has a good battery life

i have rcmix 1.9 rom + leedroid kernel battery lasts for almost 24h

Same for me

Same for me

+1 for MIUI ROMs. About 1-5mA with screen off
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.

On CM7 RC1 now: much to my surprise, it feels like the battery is doing better than with 7.0.3, though I don't think I can back this up empirically. My battery didn't fare too well with Coredroid V7 or MIUI, though they're both great ROMs.
All in all, pleasantly surprised by how this RC is doing. Keep up the good work everyone!

Cyanogenmod + lord mod kernel + puv script is what is working great for me. Sense roms seem to have quite a bit of superfluous features which cause a bit more drain than aosp roms like cm and miui.

ONLY LEEDROID HD gives u sense 3 rosie mods with excelllent battery life.
so, if you like sense 3d rosie, go for leedroid hd and,
if u need only the stock gingerbread rom devoid of sense 3d rosie, go for revolution hd.
the rest roms are laggy or battery sucks.

great
greate post

I have been using Android Revolution HD since 5.1.9 with Sense 3.0 All in one. With medium use (few phone calls, sms, browsing the internet) my battery lasts 24-48 hours. That's good enough for me

ROM & Kernel with the best battery life?

Hi, so far the only rom I have used is CM6, and the battery life is just absolutely terrible. Maybe its just my nexus, maybe not, point is I want a new ROM.
A ROM that you guys have tried and decided to stick to.
Battery life is VERY important to me.
Try IntersectRaven's CFS kernel, best I have found for CM
For ROM try Enomther, battery life pretty good on that one

I had been using CM 6 for a while and just recently switched over to Enomether's latest TheOfficial ROM. The battery life is now DRAMATICALLY better. Just looking over the Juice Plotter graphs shows that the standby time overnight is almost flat. Say 3-4% drop every 3 hours or so. With CM6, the battery level is on a constant and steeper decline, even when not in use. I didn't take any records, but my N1 on CM6 would be down to ~45-50% overnight if I forget to plug in the charger (from full). I heard that SetCpu will help, but I don't think it worked out for me.
Enomether has its own CPU Governor and while it doesn't offer as many features as SetCPU - the ROM's default settings work well right out of the box - no tweaking is needed really for the CPU governor.
I too was having really poor battery life with CM6, losing about 50% within 8 hours after charge, without even using the phone much! I'm trying out other roms right now just for fun. I'm using Evil's Nxsense but with the kernal posted by Autinhyeu (post # 8541 in that thread). So far seems to be holding battery extremely well. About 5 hours since charge and about 90% battery.
LeoFroYo Rom is pretty good with battery
try the leofroyo rom latest beta. i get great battery in standby with the stock kernal that it comes with. 2.5 hrs per 1% battery. typically in a day making calls and using the internet, i lose about 30%-25% battery. not too bad.

cm sucks when it comes to battery life in my experience. i tried the 6.0 version when it came out (first stable release) and battery life was horrible.
5 hours since charge? only standby or some usage?

That was mostly standby with setcpu profile setting cpu to minimum when the screen was off. But even with those same settings on CM6 my battery would be about 70% after the same amount of time.
I just reflashed cm6 but with that other kernal so I'll see how well it works today.
MIUI has the best battery life of any ROM I've used on my N1.. idle drain of about .5% / hour when using pershoot's kernels from droidbasement.
I'm using shadow rom2.1 stripped down and I get about 16 to 18 hours usage.

I'm using CM6 and my battery life is great. I got rid of my Seidio extended battery to get an Otterbox case and the stock battery on CM6 is awesome.
My phone has been off the charger since before 1pm and now at midnight its on 46% and thats with heavy use of Angry Birds, text, emails and web browsing !
My battery life is also acceptable on cm6. Not amazing but acceptable. Then again I put mine in airplane mode overnight and get about a 4% drain, which I kind assume might be something to do with my Widgets.
Okay, so I decided to try one of these two ROMs:
Enomther
LeoFroYo
not sure which one yet, and not sure what kernel to use with the ROM I choose.
I hate switching ROMs cuz of the wiping and restoring and all that crap.

Can I ask how long does your battery last and how do you use how phone? And what other ROMs have you tried?

Not very scientific i know but here goes, Had been using CM7 and would get a full days use (unplugged at midnight and plugged back in about 21:00) with approx 40% battery left on an average day with HydrOG3n unplugged as normal fairly normal usage and had 60% left at end of day. Typical usage involves checking twitter periodically throughout the day, a bit of gaming (15-20 mins) some ebook reading (<60 minutes) checking facebook once or twice and a bit of web surfing (45-60 mins over the day) odd texts and two to three short phone calls (less than 10 minutes total) and a bit of foursquare with GPS on, I leave wireless on all day although I'm normally only attached at home, obviously your mileage may vary. I Have tried other ROMs specifically Miui, LeeDroid and AHRD but I hate SENSE and didn't get on with any of them so cant give any definitive comment on Battery life.
i recommend android revolution too
it's keep the original UI, and make a lot of tweaks to make your phone run smoothly
arhd is the best!
Miui is quite brilliant and awesome as well as cm7. And they use eclair or froyo BL. So that's a plus

MIUI or CM7
I'm using LeeDrOiD HD myself and I'm very happy with it. So smooth and no issues (for me at least, some are experiencing battery drain with wifi on, but for me, it's at about 2-5 mA in standby). Great "community" around it, lots of support, great battery life. On a normal day, I usually have the screen on for about 2-3 hours (moderate use I'd say) and disconnected from charger for about 18 hours. That leaves me with about 50% battery when I go to bed.
I'm very satisfied
Another vote for LeeDroid. Great ROM, great support and great bloke!

TB Fusion 1.4 + unity v3 kernel by far the best for me
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I've tried ARHD, RCMixHD and LeeDroid, but have settled on Virtuous Unity. I run it with Juice Defender and now charge the battery every other day or even longer rather than every night! I run gmail and my work outlook exchange activesync on push settings, background data updates on facebook and play cut the rope a bit! Best Sense rom I reckon, especially if you want Sense 3. Activesync used to drain the battery like a vampire on the other roms, no problem with Virtuous Unity.
Also my wife has a DHD on stock UK rom and this is the first one that beats her for battery. Put juice defender on her's too, but mine is faster with the o/c daemon and looks much better. Can't persuade her to let me root and flash her for some reason, perhaps I should tell her I mean her phone

Can not compare to other ROMs, but ARHD is just awesome! Looks like stock ROM but feels a lot more smooth.
I like/use CM7
I use Leedroid. I looked for a clean, lean, fast and smooth ROM and found it in LeeDroid's rom. Works perfect with the sense 3 lockscreen, too (the combination of lockscreen and my own app, AppGrouper, make for the fastest applaunching experience I know of since the old PalmPilot days ).
Beatmod gingersense, speedy, clean great battery life. Looks good, sense 3.0 lockscreen aswell, best rom I've tried yet. Yet to try leedroid will have to check it out.

[Q] best rom and kernal for battery life

i am sure there is a thread on here already for this but i can't seem to find it i am looking for the best kernal and rom combo with the ultimate battery life with also o.c. supportive as well i am wondering what is it that i can do or flash i am currently running g.b. stock rom with a cynobenmod kernal i am wondering what everyone else best experience is also batteries ext. does anyone have a great cheap battery that extended there life on the evo i use tethering about 5 hours a day and i really need that to work to last all day and making 6-7 phone calls thorugh out that day just so you know i am using a evo 4g
if you don't mind AOSP-based ROMs, try Deck's ROM ([6-21-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.2][2.3.4 Stable] - xda-developers) and then flash a Tiamat kernel (I've been using the latest and its been great) ([Kernel][AOSP] Tiamat | 2.6.38.8 | 6/6/11 -xda-developers). You can also try viperboy's undervolt mod [MOD]viperMOD for AOSP Kernels - v3 beta RC2.4 |Updated 6.14.11|*App in Progress!* - xda-developers on top of the kernel...helps out with battery life. Try the -100mv first then step down gradually till your phone is stable again
I agree with cg about decks and viperboys script. I personally get better battery life and performance with savagedzen. Also try underclocking down to 691....I do and notice no slowdown.
I have been using MikG v2.15 and battery life has never been better. Also it is far more stable than the custom kernels with voltage tweakers in my experience.
+1 to what Ronnie said. I like leaving as much stock as possible. I am running MikG 2.2 and never have to worry about a charger.

I've used MikG, Synergy, KingsROM, etc. (essentially all of the GB Sense-based ROMs that were 2.1/3.0 hybrids). And yea MikG had the best battery life compared to the others but I would only get maybe 12 hours out of it. What are your settings??
I'm with the Deck's crowd here. I use Deck's with Tiamat 3.3.7 (too lazy to try the newer versions), and I don't usually hit 50% battery life till about 18-ish hours off charger with constant texting/Tweetdeck/push notifications and a few phone calls.
I am not using any special settings or tweaks. Using Google sync to access 4 email accounts, etc. Also I unchecked the Always On Mobile Data setting.
It has been 100% stable - no stalls, connectivity issues, or anything like that.
Nice thing about MikG is that it uses Sense.
Decks and the latest tiamat sbc w viper boy....2600 mah battery I'll get 40hrs
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Try MIUI's newest release...not sure what it is off the top of my head. Definitely the best battery life I've ever gotten. Get a solid 15 -16 hours with medium to heavy usage. (fbook,youtube, calls, texting, web browsing, downloading).
Im with you - Im on MikG now I love the ROM but I do not even get 12 hours with a 3500 mah battery. That is on a heavy usage day on low usage days I get 18 houirs. Not horrible but not good. Was actually looking for a sense based ROM with better battery.
Cyanogenmod 7 with tiamat kernel, stable version gives me great performance and stability and GREAT battery life.
Check my sig for my setup, I am currently using my AOSP setup. I get at least a day with heavy usage, stock battery. I use Juice Defender too, it seems to work well, especially with AOSP ROMs.
Radios matter too, if you have high Android System usage or cell standby, flash some new radios.

Try unchecking Always On Data.

Looking for most clean rom, good performance and battery saving.

Hello,
I got my HD2 for about 2 weeks now and I tried almost al available roms (SD) and I really don't have any idea which one has the best overall performance. I know there are a lot of topics like this one and I also already searched trough the forum but all these topics are outdated. These are the ROMS I tried the most and for the longest time:
Nexus HD2 2.3.7 GingerBread (battery died in 4 hours)
DL Desire 4.31 (laggy and most of time not working)
FroyoStone Sense (less ram memory available, Sense is slow)
MCCM HD V6 (really drains battery)
IceCreamTostiDroid v10.0 (good rom but some games and apps are not compatible)
IceCreamTostiDroid v11.0 (same as ICTD 10.0)
RAFDROiD 4.2 (overall performance not so good, only 1200 Quadrant Benchm)
I would really appreciate a good advice. It's for daily use. And I don't really like big roms with all kinda themes...
greetz!

If you want just SD build, then i would go with hyperdroid. Either CM7 or Gingerbread, battery life is phenomenal. Also, kernel builds will change your battery consumption too. So it may not always be your ROM. Also, there are things running in the background that you may not use, (for me it was google talk, maps, and LatinIME) i used startup manager to keep them from running at startup.
I can't really give you a specific ROM, but I can give you some advice.
First, if you really care about performance and speed, steer away from Sense.
I'd recommend MIUI for battery life, my phone used to last 3-4 days easily (a few phone calls and sms each day, network ON)
Cyanogenmod should be an option as well, it is fast and has a fair battery consumption rate.
However, the major factor is your usage of wireless networking/apps.
e.g. ,, Using 3G network will drink your battery far more than using 2G.
Keeping Bluetooth/WiFi on while not using them will also drain your battery.
Installing apps that require/keep background processes will drain your battery.
After all, it is up to you choosing a ROM.
HyperDroid is a good choice, Cm7 based, fast, dark-eye-candy, and low battery consumption

Best Rom Best Battery Life? Pref ics? G2?

Any ideas what the best rom with best battery life for ics is for G2? Id prefer ics or above. I just rooted my moms g2 and put cm9 on it version 3, she loves it but I want to know if there is a better one with good battery life. I ordered her an anker and will calibrate when it gets in.

I used the ics sense ROM sabsa prime (v12 with sense 4a and therefore no landscape mode, since v13 it has sense 4.1 with landscape) and i got up to 2d battery life with stock battery.
Activated mobile internet and wlan only when needed, wrote some sms per day and did a few calls every now and then.
So i really can recommend this ROM (battery life for the new v14 i cant tell)

If you want best battery life you're probably going to have to go with ICS because that's stable so we don't know what may be affecting battery life on JB ROMs at the moment, also Sense is heavy and bloated so go with AOSP or CyanogenMod. Having said that I'm running Andromadus CM10.1 build 16 and am at 26% with 5 days 20 hours without a charge, so basically go for a ROM which feels good at low clock speed (and yes, not overclocked, if you really want to have good battery life you're not gonna want to go above stock clock speed).
No "Best rom threads" as pointed out in Guide Sticky
