Hello everyone, I'm new in this forum. Actually I use a RCMIX 3D (sense 3.5) ROM which is quite satisfactory in terms of battery consumption.
However, considering the fact that I do not go behind the latest developments in graphics, velocity etc, I looking for a new ROM that, of all, offers exceptional durability of the battery during daily use (data, internet, push email, sync a few). I do not know about what really orient me ... I accept all the advice possible, regardless of whether it is "sense" or not. Thanks
i personally Think the rcmix sense 3.5 rom is one of the best out there right now..if you are not satisfied try android revolution, thats sense 3.0 though

Is better for battery consumption?
I've read about HydrOG3n...
my dhd lasted about 2.5 Days on last charge, and that is pretty Amazing in my mind (with rcmix runny rom) but android revolution is a Little bit better on that Point i think..no superultrabig difference, but you should get a coupple of hours extra i think.
btw: i am coming from revolution to rcmix and the thing that made me stay on this one is the sense 3.5 (ofcourse) and the awesome rcmix setting menu that lets you change pretty much whatever you like, a bit like wannabe cyanogenmod =) really cool i think
imo, LM kernel roms (CM7 and miui based ones such as hydrogen) have excellent battery life. Stock CM7 also has OK battery life.
Radios should also affect the battery life

i would like to change ARHD 6.1.1 since many bugs are there......
is there any bugs on RCMIC runny ??????
my oppinion, no.. the rom is as perfect as i wish it to be =)
but anyways - i did not had any problems with revolution either
The best ROM so far (for me) is CoreDroid 8.1 . I have some minor problems, but it's excellent ROM. Try it. And is very beautiful.

How long does your battery with the full use of your rom?
cubases. Here are some screenshots of a few ROMs to help you see some visual differences.
And here is the up-to-date list of Desire HD ROMs here at XDA. That way you can click on each one to visit the thread and see any specs or info for yourself.
Personally - I use MIUI Freshly Squeezed at the moment as I really love the complete UI change. (Having said that I don't like the latest theme so much with the latest release but I change it back to the original or different theme at the touch of a button.) MIUI feels like a completely different device. That said - I try many ROMs and enjoy most of them unless I'm put off by the visuals/colors etc.

I think you go to wrong direction. I don't think there's a significant difference between the ROMs according to power consumption. Now I am not with CoreDroid 8.1 . I think it's with 2.3.4 kernel (don't think, that if was with 2.3.5 it will be 100% better) .
With full use every ROM will give you max 1 day. With a moderate use - 2 days with no problems with CoreDroid/RCMix/ARHD roms. The main consumption is from the lcd (ROM independant).
Some advices - switch off every antenna you don't use - BT/Wi-Fi/mobile network/3G . Especially switch off mobile network and set everything to manual update. 3G network also consumes a lot of energy. For calls 2G is fair enough.
Well if you need network access any time a day and automatic update - nothing you can do. You will charge the phone every day.
And other advice - charge the phone with USB cable (on a PC) at any time. Don't wait the battery to fall. Just watch to keep the memory in 20-80% (bellow 20 and above 80 it will use more battery recharge cycles).

I've flashed loads of Roms and I think miui has by far the best battery life. I use my phone ALOT and I'm getting through a whole day with one charge.
With most sense Rom's I was only getting through work. 7am - 5pm. I've read a few times miui freshly squeeze is better but haven't tried it yet. I'm happy with what I've got at the moment.

I'm using juicedefender ultimate with aosp support, you can configure a lot of option of the network usage!
On MIUI rom, I've used it a lot, great rom, nice UI(iPhone app management style with Samsung style screen customization) , a lot of customizable setting, nice theme and useful features and good battery life, I always suggest to try it!
Now I'm testing DeSenseNG based on official sense 3 for DHD (love htc app) and I think is very good room, smooth and with a little UV a really good battery!
Sorry for bad english :-(

Well simply put;
Compaired to the MDJ CM7 and Cotulla's Stock Rom all roms I've tested this month(about 5) are laggy, slow, have errors(applications stop working and that kind of stuff) and some don't even start. Therefor I was also thinking about creating a topic like this one, simply because it is a pain to find a good one out here these days...

the only rom ive personally got running as smooth as my mother's ipad, dads iphone 3gs, or brothers iphone 4, is hyperdroid gbx. it runs actually fastER than both iphones in side by side comparisons (angering my family), and about the same as the ipad in overall smoothness. battery is phenominal, the only rom ive gotten to last all day with my heavy usage i like to play with my phone a lot (for standby 3-5ma depending on apps running)
3 mA in standby on desireZ 3.5
I think that's the winner
also I wouldnt dare to say it is not smooth or smth
I've also tried few ROMs and for me the best one is Rafdroid HD 3.1 Lite edition (without ext partition on SD). Everything works smooth out of the box.

The best ROM for NAND I've come across. HyperDroid GBX
It is extremely light. only 60MB installation zip
It is extremely fast and responsive
It has great battery life.
I used the phone extensively for about 16 hours (all day) with about an hour of calls, around 30 SMS' some EDGE usage, a lot of wifi usage at home. It was still at 70% by the end of the day! If that isn't amazing, I don't know what is
Manages around 2-5mA in standby.
Oh and any way I can get AmeriCanDroid on NAND? :O
I miss cyanogenmod
Thanks for your support! What a great community!

Moto-Mytouch4G. I've been using it for a month and its beautiful. The only one I've tried where the battery last the day for me. Very smooth very well laid out. Great nand!!!
My choice is Rafdroid 3.1 with ext4 partition. In stand by mode I have 2-4 mAh...
I think,best ROM is MDJ Cyanogenmod 7,smooth and most battery saver ROM what I have tested with lot of settings.
IMO, this is by FAR the best/smoothest build out. I've tried many, and this ROM is the baddest of all. The battery consumption is better, and all around functionality is good.

Anyone know a good sense rom with decent battery life that will last over 12 hours while at work, or isn't there one out atm ? and also as a2sd onit
If you absolutely want sense, which I wouldn't recommend, 'cause it's buggy on HD2, you should try out Sense of Eclipse. People who can't live without Sense, say it's the best.
sense is not buggy on the hd2, sense3 is buggy but the older sense versions are stable for every day use

I am using the same ROM you have and would recommend changing the LCD density using a file explorer and change the build.prop file from 167 to either 217 (native density for HD2) or 240 which I prefer. I have really good battery life on this ROM. The only Sense ROM that I have used that has better battery life is Cmylxgo's Desire HD(2) ROM. Best battery life at a consistent 2-3mA on stand by. But I am on a TMOUS phone. Cmylxgo does have a ROM version for EU phones but I have never tried it to compare it to the US version.

The original OP asked the question I wanted, but I can't see a direct reply. Rather than start a new thread therefore can I ask the original question again? I installed the original Desire HD Nand OS but found it kept freezing (especially using Copilot) so went back to WinMo. So 6 months on, is there a stable Sense NAND ROM I can look at? And yes, good or bad I would still like Sense.
I can only understand simple replies (!) as I haven't been following discussions or developments for ages so will have to re-learn how to do all the upgrade thing. Handset still has MAGLDR 1.13 and HSPL.

Glad to be of help. Now you don't have to use that emulator that is sucking your battery dry. Not sure why Pongster likes that 167 density. It is definitely too small for me to read comfortably. I guess my eyes aren't as good as Pongster's.

Do take a look at the build i am using, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507
I would recommend using V1.6, this build is really awesome, it has but a single flaw and that is copying files via usb-cable (which will make the phone reboot and endanger your sd card file structure).
There are workarounds (either using USB Mass Storage in CWM or using an app like Software Data Cable) so this isn´t really that hard to cope with
Other than that i would have to say, this feels like it was meant to run with the HD2, so if that´s what you are looking for
Battery life is great, no loss at all compared to winmo.
Whatevery build you would choose, i personally would go for froyo builds, gingerbread builds (sense builds at least) are a little too much for a stable reliable daily build, for now at least

You would be surprised what you acctually need to make android run. If you dont replace those parts it wont function.
there is a lot of ways and blogs that people say will help you set up your hero.
But....
to be honest the best way ive found is
1) find a custom rom you like.
2) wipe everything on your hero (not the SD card.) and doing a full install.
3) add your desired apps and widgets
4) then make a nandroid backup
now if you mess around with setting or uninstall apps or firmware
you will always have a solid backup to go back to and try again.
its the best way to learn how your hero works.
good luck.
i always go back to sense even though you lose speed, using tegro slide at the moment and its almost perfect
ive tried tegro in the past
i do like it but it reminds me to much of froyo and i had a bad experience with froyo.
(shivers as cold feeling goes down spin)
but on the up side elelinux has just released V2.9
the update list looks impressive.
BUT......
the big question is whats he got up his sleeve for V3.0

I've tested several ROMs on my DZ and now I use Vision Unity.
It's basicly a 2.1/3.0 Sense hybrid ROM giving you real eye-candy.
In the latest version (1.29.0) I found some bugs/disadvantages:
- the homescreen does not rotate on keyboard open
- sometimes it lags a bit
- it takes about 300 MB ram after start, leaving you just about 70MB free (other roms are much better in this criteria)
- I experienced already few times sudden phone restart (phone just lying on table, no aggresive apps run like 3d games etc, and after few hours I take the phone and it asks for PIN) = pretty critical if you wait for an important call.
but among the roms I've tried, this seems far the best if you decide to have HTC Sense. If you can miss sense, stick to CM7, there are really cool features like finetuning the display auto brightness intensity levels (really killer feature to battery life!)
I enjoy Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 because I find it to be consistently fast and responsive, everything works for me all the time, and I still have enough ram to run a couple of apps in the background, unlike every sense 3.0 rom/hybrid I've tried.
Highly highly recommended.

LMFAO.
Cyanogen MOD 7 RC 1 or if your so inclined, nightly build #156.
- So far after testing a few ROM I've been back to CM7. Why? Once installed and running and even with keep all my favourite apps open and running in the background, I still manage to keep about 80mb of ram and CPU usage is usually between 2% and 82% with an average of 4 or 5 programs running. Ok a bit excessive I know but it still works.
I have custom memory script running that's available here on XDA and various other gadget. Battery life is usually fairly consistent with 1day 9hours of use. I use the device quite a bit in a day.
Power saving options: Brightness is set to 20% only, Juice Defender installed.
Running background application is limited to my email mostly unless I'm doing some work. Most of the time email, exchange, Facebook and twitter are sync.
I'm using Launcher Pro with the license for my main interface. Here are some screen captures for your pleasure.

Personally, my favorite ROM is MIUI.us
The stock Music app in it, is my favorite music app by far, I especially love how it not only gets the lyrics, but also scrolls them karaoke style with the song. It also has a nice theming system, and a great built in theme. Everything overall looks nicer than stock Android.
Another great thing about it is the status bar, you can enable/disable USB Mass Storage using an on/off slider in the notifications, and I love the way the switches work in the status bar.
Then there's the stock Launcher, which is much nicer than the stock Android launcher in my opinion, though I still replace it with Go Launcher, again, my personal favorite.
If you're looking for a responsive, nice looking, and user friendly ROM, MIUI.us would be my suggestion. It also has a nice backup feature with their servers. You just need to make an MIUI account. Not sure if it's still necessary, but back when I did it, I had to go to the chinese MIUI website and use Google Translate to make my account <_<

I've tested several ROMs on my DZ and now I use Vision Unity.
It's basicly a 2.1/3.0 Sense hybrid ROM giving you real eye-candy.
In the latest version (1.29.0) I found some bugs/disadvantages:
- the homescreen does not rotate on keyboard open
- sometimes it lags a bit
- it takes about 300 MB ram after start, leaving you just about 70MB free (other roms are much better in this criteria)
- I experienced already few times sudden phone restart (phone just lying on table, no aggresive apps run like 3d games etc, and after few hours I take the phone and it asks for PIN) = pretty critical if you wait for an important call.
but among the roms I've tried, this seems far the best if you decide to have HTC Sense. If you can miss sense, stick to CM7, there are really cool features like finetuning the display auto brightness intensity levels (really killer feature to battery life!)

The best rom is hardest to define because it's really up to personally preference. MIUI? Sure if you're into that whole thing,but frankly I have trust issues with Chinese tech companies for reasons that have been in the news here and there.
Cyanogenmod is a great AOSP rom even though it's not 100% AOSP it's quick, intuitive, and has lots of options that would allow you to customize it as you want.
There are other roms such as OTA roms that have been made that are also very quick, but not quite as intuitive and they are not as easily customized as some other roms.
Now we get into Sense. There are ports of great roms from other devices that may have a minor bug here and there. Unity is a great rom but I know it needs work on it simply because of little bugs here and there, lack of ram of the Vision, and the battery drain of 1.31 is not so appealing. These roms do not perform as well as Sense roms made for the Desire Z, how ever you do not have some sense 3.0 features that make Sense so much more enjoyable to use.
I currently run Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 and it's a very quick rom, but it lacks the eye candy that we all would love with Unity. However what I love about the sense community is that there are many themes and many ways to enhance sense with add-ons here and there which I have done.
I want to clearly state that this is just my opinion and you should try out the roms for your self to get your own opinion and know your personal preference what appeals to one person is not always the same as the next.
Virtuous unity 1.31
Just test it , good for daily use
meXdroidmod Pre Ghost Chili rom! Based on CM7 2.3.4. You want speed, eye candy animations, consistent dev support, and great battery life? Look no further! PreGhost features "tweaKr" script which allows for amazing customization. You can easily down volt your voltages to create great battery life. tweakr menu pick below from terminal emulator...

Super cm7 is still my favorite. I keep trying other roms but I always come back to this one because it is super fast and clean. Mexdroid is pretty good to but it is too themed for me. I think they are working on a more stock version which could be pretty sweet.

Actually, I'm now running the "Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 :: Enhanced & Optimized Stock ROM (2.42.405.2)". I miss the Sense 3.0 features, but I can try to flash some available mods. Especially the brightness setting in the quick setting.
But it's a small tax for a stable ROM without restarts.
I've tried several sense roms but i don't like them personally. I'm currently on Android Revolution HD and i want to try something new. Is there a good CM7 or AOSP rom which is good in interface, small in size and with great battery life?
Thanks in advance
This is a subjective matter, but try these two:
BlackICE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298283
and
Ultimate Ace - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341251
I also recommend BlackICE or if you want to try Maffia, with Maffia my battery once survived 58 hours , also with BlackIce your battery can survive for 2 days, but the ICS Theme in Maffia is not 100% working so you may not like that and BlackICE had a simple stylish dark theme, and has more features and some more tweaks.
Here are my suggestions, Absolution, BBmod and Black Ice
+1 on Black Ice.
Loving the higher res look and feel. The performance is excellent and its very stable and smooth. Recently tried a sense ROM and within 12 hours came back!
I used to use MIUI a lot (especially when I had my desire). I've had my HD less than a month and loving it.
For further interface tweaks install a different launcher. I use GO Launcher EX
Try CM7.1(nightly) with ICS theme
Fast, smooth, and looks great !
Add Go Launcher EX with ICS theme to make it complete.
I havent tried Black Ice yet.
All of these are good, in my experience:
Maffia 0.1.7 (still in a slightly early/embryonic state, though)
BlackIce 1.23
Absolution 2.0
CM7.1
Helios 0913
There are still a couple I haven't tried, but which look like winners, such as:
Ultimate Ace
BBMod
There is a beta called talon in the talon kernel thread in the inspire forums. It's very good.

there is another one that you could try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348425
I'm currently on it and I'm very pleased (fast, smooth, minimal, good battery life)
best regards
+1 for the Cyanogenmod 7.1

You could try CM7.1. its great.
Another option is MIUI Freshly squeezed. Its very light and can be a daily use rom.
my 2 cents..
You could try Hydrogen... 63.5 MB total size if i remember correctly....
Others already mentioned... Cyanogen, BlackIce...
MIUI's been very very stable for me.. .never gave me any problems whatsoever... but hey.. to each one his own..
Cyanogenmod? Good battery life?
lol.
i don't have a good alternative for you, but cyanogen is defenitive not that, what you are looking for :3
The Oxygen port which has appeared very recently is the smallest and fastest ROM I've ever used. Testing overall battery life now, but the drain is awesome with any recent LordModUE kernel (sleeps at 3mA within a couple of minutes).
The speed is ridiculous.

I agree, it's an amazing experience. Give it a try, it's Sense-free.

+ 1 for Freshly Squeezed MIUI
I have also tried Cyanogen and the new ICS port from BeatMod. Cyanogen doesn't interest me too much, but the ICS port is cool although lacking in functionality right now.
Been using Freshly Squeezed for a couple of weeks and it is dramatically different then the other stock ROM's (looks iPhone-ish), but some of the extras really make it a good option.
My favourite features of Miui:
- SMS pop-up notification, allows you to respond to an sms within another app
- Long-Press close apps - long press back in an app to end the task
- Weekly ROM updates
i get great battery and performance on MIUI ROM's downloaded from miui.us nowhere else
