I have to admit, I have selfish reasons for posting this poll. I never know what is the most stable/feature rich ROM available without reading through countless posts on several forums so I thought it would be good to have a central place for people to get an idea on what everyone else is currently using.
Right now I'm using Epic Experience with Phoenix kernel and my screen goes black with no way to bring it back without a battery pull. So I need to know what ROM to try next. My goals are simple:
Fast, stable, and most importantly... good battery life.
I just finally convinced my wife to let me root her epic in order to fix battery life and its not working very well.
I am using Baked Snack v1.3 and was on the Boss Rom before with Mixup Kernel. On BakedSnackShack.com you can download it for free. Herver was kicked off for asking for donations ($5min) before the public release, but let me tell you I have not run into 1 problem in ANY program in the last month...I don't plan on ever going to another developer because of his great success and features. He should be allowed back on but every time he does more drama happens. A rom is different for everyone and thats why there are so many developers to suite your needs. Good luck and if nothing else just try it out....I assure you will be impressed!
you need to realize what works for one person will not work for another. different combanations work and suite others needs then their own. i suggest trying everything out and find what works the best for you
I have to say, I agree with mysteryemotionz. What one person may prefer may be what another dislikes. What one person may notice as being a problem, another may overlook. For instance, on the EVO forums a lot of people like cyanogenmod. I personally do not due to the lack of certain functions like 4G and other things (havent look at their forum in awhile so IDk if its still not working now).
Im currently using Epic Experience and mixup kernel. I loved AOSP Magic, but Epic Experience seems to have better support. I prefer the look of AOSP magic tho. I havent tried any other kernel since Im currently satisfied with how I have mixup running.
Yup...baked snack is the best so far I'd say. I've tried em all. Still haven't gotten the battery life that I've read about in some posts. But the battery life is by far better than stock. I'm using epic experience 1.2.0.4 with the latest mixup kernel also tried the latest phoenix kernel with no significant difference. So I just keep trying new things till something better comes along.

Seems clear I've missed a few ROM's like "baked snack". I just used the wiki post for my poll info.

At first you say that you're using Baked Snack v1.3 but then later on you mention Herver and in the same sentence say "...I have not run in to 1 problem in ANY program in the last month".
So which is it? What ROM are you using that isn't giving you any grief right now?
Baked Snack v1.3 or Herver?
Also, while I'm on the subject, how do I add more options to the poll?
I think Herver is the developer of bakedsnack

I don't think there's a "best" ROM / kernel combo for everyone.
It seems that each individual's phones and experiences can and are different.
For example, I was running stock rooted ROM with every version of MixUp since it's inception. On the most recent MixUp I started having battery life issues with no other changes so I decided to try a few things. First thing I did was change to the Epic Experience ROM which did improve my battery life a bit with the latest MixUp back to where it had been with the stock ROM and the previous MixUp. After reading a lot that the Phoenix kernel worked really good with Epic Experience I changed to the most recent version of it. Battery life went off the charts in the good direction with no other change. Phoenix is suppose to run at interactive governor by default but I was getting some weird behavior from it, so I swapped it to conservative and it's working perfect for me. When using any of the kernels I always kept my minimum set to 200Mhz to avoid any sleep/lockup/wakeup issues.
I don't think Phoenix is a better kernel than MixUp, nor do I think MixUp is, just for right now, Phoenix is working better for MY phone. I'll probably continue to bounce back and forth between these two as newer versions of each are released.
The below screen shot was after some light usage, a few phone calls, little bit of texting, maybe about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time on Wi-fi, maybe 30min to 1hr of games, maybe an hour of web surfing.
Baked Snack 1.3 with Phoenix 1.49.
I got about 13.5 hours of battery yesterday.
I used the baked snack kernel for a few days with noobl's andromeda (de odex) rom.. With many apps I didn't need, removed. I had many lockups (especially while charging) where a battery pull was the only way to get out. The only consistent crash I could find was if I was plugged into ac, with screen off, and received a notification, e.g. gmail message.. Which meant for me, no wake up alarm in the morning. I liked the speed, but the instability, on my setup at least, had me switch back to mixed up kernel. I still don't have the best battery life, but I'm getting to the bottom of that in the mixed up thread. Fwiw.
Sent with my 4G interwebs.
by far my favorite and my current set up: apophis 1.1 (rom) and baked snack 1.3 (kernel), overclocked to 1.3 ghz.
i get linpak scores of 10.5 + consistantly and quadrant scores of 1010 + consistantly. this is the fastest combination ive ever used. when i first unplug it, the battery usually drops down to 95% in a couple minutes but steadies out after that. by the end of the day, once i get home from school, i usally have at least 20% left. and that's with 4g always on and moderate to heavy usage. once plugged in, it charges at a steady and fast rate.
i have my phone stripped down to bare minimum and only a few apps that i need. ive had zero black screens and few to none force closes upon rebooting but none to freak out about or anything that proves a problem.
props to the developers. thank you for providing the community with your hard work.

wtf OP? did you have to make a poll?
I had the same problems as the poster, but i think it was setcpu, i kept messing with the settings. I ended up leaving it on conservative, and it has not turned off on me since.
Im running phonix kernal / epic experience
I get like 20 maybe more hours of usage, fast charges, and only drains very little battery overnight..
i like this setup
I personally use Epic Experience 1.2.0.4 and Phoenix 1.49. I switched the governor to conservative because I had issues with the default interactive and have had zero issues since I switched. I got amazing battery life just 1ghz but I underclocked to 800mhz to improve my battery life even more without compromising on performance. If I'm doing something processor intensive I do bring it back up to 1ghz or even to 1.2ghz haha. But this combo works for me and I got approximately 35hrs with what I would call light usage. With moderate to heavy usage I average about 18hrs.
It definitely seems that Epic Experience / Phoenix is the most popular combo, at least with those voting.
Glad to see others have reported similar experiences to mine with this combo as well.
Could just be mental, but I also seemed to notice that the phone charges a lot quicker than before with this Rom/Kernel as well as not getting as hot while charging. Not sure how/if it could effect this, but it sure "seems" that way.

Maybe that was my problem. I'm now running Baked Snack 1.3 and the kernel says Here_Over. The volume won't work and there are other issues. My wife is gunna kill me if I don't get her a working phone soon. She's going to ask me to take her back to stock. (Ugh)
When following the instructions for flashing Epic Experience I never saw anything about setcpu or a governor. I just left everything at defaults.
I have tried both Eugene's and TeamWhiskey's ROM's.. Ginger Clone, OBSIDAN and ONYX. And all 3 have sucked down my battery in about 12 hours flat with me doing nothing to the phone but loading SystemPanel to monitor the CPU and battery. With all the ROM's the CPU usage has been between 3-10% while in idle. zero phone usage. I have refreshed the battery with every new ROM load.
I was previously using TeamWhiskey's 2.1 Bionix Fusion and was seeing between 1-3% CPU usage at idle and had the battery lasting well over 24 hours with minimal use(checking email, couple short phone calls)
Am I the only one having this issue?? Does anyone else use SystemPanel to monitor their CPU usage and can say what their CPU is using during idle??
Thank you for your time and any help/info you may have.
I don't use the modded versions of Froyo but Stock has awesome battery life from my experience. JL5 is looking great as well.
You or anyone else happen to know where I can find a copy of the stock 2.2 ROM/kernel?? I have an unlocked phone in Japan and it's not supported here, so I wont ever get any updates.
Yes the custom roms have terrible battery life. They always have. However, the stock roms have terrific battery life. After a long day of heavy usage I am at 50%

There isn't really a stock 2.2 Rom for Vibrant because it hasn't been released yet. We have leaked builds (JK2, JK6, JL1, JL4, JL5) that are candidates for release. When they actually release Froyo for Vibrant, that will be your stock froyo rom.
The key to great battery life is using the Stock kernel. Flash that kernel on any ROM and enjoy not having to watch your battery indicator all day.
yea, just read a thread about people complaining about that.
guess I'll just flash back to 2.1..
Thanks for all the help.
I flashed nero v2 w/ voodoo and i reset the battery stats, and now im having trouble draining the battery down to nothing.

I'll give it a try.. nothing to lose.
To drain the battery, I usually turn on Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, all the good stuff. Then I downloaded this one Flashlight app from the Market which essentially displays one color full screen, default white. Crank up the brightness and run that app on white and it'll really put the hurt on your battery.
Edit: Today I learned that this may be potentially harmful information. Will someone give a good scientific explanation why though? I'm curious to learn more about batteries. However, this is how I've been draining my battery and it is a damn good method if that's what you want done.
Mine says 2.6.32.9 no matter what kernel i flash. Try flashing it just to be sure. I've tried all the ROMs and they all drain hard until I add the stock kernel to them. Though now a days a lot of ROMs include the stock kernel (Macnut and Axura for sure do). The problem with all the custom kernels is they dont seem to let the phone sleep so when your screen turns off the phone keeps draining as if you were using it. Stock fixes this so when your screen turns off barely any power is used. I
But like I said.. reflash it just to be sure.

Android is based on Linux and uses the Linux kernel as a base. The Linux kernel your phone's kernel is based off of is version 2.6.32.9
ok.. think I loaded the stock kernel up.. lol I'll let it run for about an hour and see what kind of CPU numbers I get in idle.
Thanks again for everyones help/input.
FYI.. just put it in flight mode for a bit and CPU usage dropped down to almost 0%.. I'm not understanding why it cant do that when the phone is idle.. ahh well.
Idle for an hour should lose no more than 1% battery depending on how much stuff you have polling and updating.

Hi there. There seems to be a number of tweaked ROM's for the Aria and unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy enough to understand the different kernels. From your personal experience, which ROM gave good battery life on the Aria?
I'm currently running CM7.0.0 and usually gets a day with normal usage. I'm willing to drop down to froyo if it means more battery life. Any input would be awesome.
if you use setcpu just flash my kernel as it has lower cpu speeds and no need for a screen off profile

Can you flash the kernel on any ROM? Do you lose any data? SetCPU bottoms out at 246 for me right now, but I know I've seen others here at lower. I'm running FR008.

Just because it's gingerbread doesn't make it awesome. Still has its downsides. 2.2.2 and fr008 have been so refined its stupid. I get the best battery life out of those. Setcpu with 2.2.2 gives me a warm sensation.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
CM7's battery life, when the GPS libraries aren't forcing the CPU to 100%, is good. A day or so. Maybe more.
2.2.2 is a little over a day on average, and CM6.1.1 can go up to as much as two days. So CM6 is the winner with battery life. But it's Froyo.
I'm getting two days with moderate usage with FR008...

Flashing the ROM is enough. It comes with a kernel that will let you overclock only while you're using SetCPU. If you don't use that app it will run like a stock kernel and will give you great battery life. That's my choice and I'm happy with it.
Cool. Thanks everyone.

CyanogenMod 7 with tiamat kernel gets pretty good battery life. The kernels tend to have mor eaffect on battery life then the roms themselves.

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

If you're flashing ROMs, you're already flashing kernels. Don't fear the kernel flash. Tiamat Lee on CM7 or Deck's is where it's at.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!
First of all, I want to thanks every developer whom make ours Evos looks like a new phone.

It is so smooth, just the best ROM I ever tried. But, there is always a but, since cm9 is an AOSP I expect better battery life. In 2 hrs went from 95% to 15%. Today in the morning went from 100% to 75% in half Hour. So I had to went back to mikg cuz I have more than 24 hrs w/o charging. I tried to find some trick or any scrip or something to get better battery life but I did not find anything.

Have you tried to flash the Mason SBC kernel with it? I think the cm9 port has a mason kernel baked in but it doesn't have SBC. I've been running the Mason I .15rc3 kernel with it and battery life has been great. Also, give the rom+kernel a few days to settle in before passing judgement on battery life. I've found that after giving a fresh install of a rom/kernel a few days the battery life will improve.

Yea try it out and let us know. Just remember, with SBC kernels, you want to let the phone charge for about another hour or so after it reports that it is fully charged in order to get the full SBC effect.

I get your advise and I have to tell you that I notice the difference in just 10 mins. Now we are talking about. I was off today so I decide to play with my Evo to test this kernel, I spend almost 5 hrs(straight) between playing with settings, browsing the internet, setting some apps and watching videos from the internet(2 hrs maybe) and I'm on 20% right now. I think that's pretty good. Thank you for the advice!!!
I don't know about u guys but on my evo using stock battery which is 1500mah will last more then 24hrs using cm9.

I have the 1500 mah stock batery too and with cm9-stock kernel I had a poor bat-life, Yesterday I flash the Mason I .15rc3 kernel and so far I'm impressed.
My set up is;
Evo 003 stock battery
cm9 nighties 05/10
Mason I .15rc3 kernel, Wheatley governor (min cpu 245mhz - max cpu 1075mhz)

Yea when I flash it already came with MANSON kernal. I did not even mess around with the CPU.

Just thought I would post this...Running the unofficial CM9 from JMZ Taylor with the Mason v0.14 non-sbc kernel that comes baked into the ROM and using vipermod to lower voltage by 50mv

CM9 comes with a MANSON kernel, but in not the same one. The one that I flashed is the "I 15r3", means that is the 3rd released candidate so is not a final version yet. I'm not sure whats the one that comes with cm9, but I think is a basic version of Manson Kernel made for cm9.
Remember this are electronic devices, maybe whats works for me don't work for you and vice versa. This is a great example. The cm9 stock kernel works great for you, I didn't get the same as you, but I get it with another kernel.

I have messed around with all of the governors and really found for my device that the performance governor believe it or not gives me the best battery life with this rom...well put about the differences in results! Posting setups gives others ideas to try for themselves to see the results!!

Well curiously I get lost Today when I was driving and I was scared cuz I haven't tested before and it worked great for me. I used it with a voice command and responded very quick and very well.
I think that's pretty cool.
