Hey guys,
I wanted to share this with the forum. I have tried every ROM on this site. in fact, I am self diagnosed with EFS (Excessive Flashing Syndrome). In my travels I landed on Froyo because I really like AOSP and cm6 is cool.
However issues with the nightlies forced me to try a 2.1 sense ROM again for some much missed stability. So I went back to my "old reliable" which is Aloysius 2.1. Since I have gotten used to no sense I just downloaded Launcher Pro from the market, pushed the aosp email client, dialer, and news widgets to the ROM and loaded the HTC Anykernel stock setting kernel and poof. I am running smooth as ever, fast as ever, and no issues with MMS, trying to find a signal fix, or VVM problems, etc etc etc. It just works. No worrying with google apps or flashing a million kernels, battery tweaks or anything.
Here is the best part. I ramped it up to 729mhz with set cpu and enabled JIT (yes, it's in there) and got 5.2 MFLOPS and 450 quadrant scores. It runs really fast. I scale it back to 710 for everyday use and as of now I am at 8 hours 30 minutes use and still have 77% battery left. That is moderate use including 10 phone calls, countless emails, about 20 text messages, and I have been connected to wi-fi for over half of those 8 hours! I dare say it is the best running, most stable ROM for the Hero.
Please no flaming, I still love CM6 and am not saying it is bad or anything. Just that if you want a ROM with lots of color, unmatched stability, ridiculous battery life, and all the speed you need, you may want to check it out.
Thanks to Konikub for making it!
Sounds nice man, mind sending me a zip? My average run time is 9hours till dead battery.

Just search this forum for aloysius and you'll find it.

Is this rom being supported anymore?
Mac
I'm getting equal if not better performance with NFX-Rom. I used to have Aloysius' rom.. it gave me many issues... I'm also running JIT without any issues as well.
To each his own... that's the great thing about Android - it's truly customizable to meet your needs.
do we not get pinch zooming with 2.2 and do we also lose the ability to type in a name into the dialer?
are the apps to fix these missing features.
how about calendar searching, without these items 2.2 might prove to be worthless to me. glad everyone else likes it.
Thanks
Just FYI, I switched back to the 2.2 RC1. I am actually getting the same battery life this time round. The deciding factor was the fact that the developer of aloysius has moved on to Evo and isn't supporting that ROM anymore. My attempts to reach him were unsuccessful so I'll stick with this great ROM on AOSP. I'm such an idiot.

idle time... i was doing approx 40 hours under light/moderate use and about 20 on heavy usage
Guys,
Does the CM6.0/6.1 Android 2.2 give better battery life than the stock 2.1-update 1 rom??
Im happy to wait for HTC for the official 2.2 rom, however if the battery life is better then im rooting as soon as the 6.1 is released..
Angelo
No idea m8. Guess you have to wait and see as the rest of us

I dont really know I've overclocked it as soon as i installed it and I can do 52hours with the battery. (Almost the same as the non overclocked stock ROM )
Try taskpanel its not in the market but you can find it on google. I've tried lots of other taskkillers but thisone really sticks out in terms of increasing battery life. You need to tel it what to kill when screen goes off but once you did that you'll see a huge improvement.
Depends solely on usage, imo. I broke a record on my Legend recently, but that only included ~15mins speaking in phone, rest was regular usage such as apps, market, wake up alarms etc. Posted a print screen from it, had to leech and install ShootMe first, though ^^ http://i.imgur.com/L5Vaj.png
Regards!
yes it does, now my phone can handle up to 2 days with slightly heavy use, (was like 1 day prev.) i mean mosty its on standby, but sync/hsdpa on all day + im useing gmaps, games etc, but i needed to reset the battery stats, but genearlly my answer is yes!
del it pls, repost
It's not directly related, but if you're rooted you can use SetCPU to clock your processor all the way down when it's not necessary to run it at top speed. And yes, this in itself has greatly improved my battery life.
thanks all,
sounds like rooting and using 2.2 would increase battery life because you can use setCPU...
thanks again
Hi everybody,
as new user I cant post on the right post. So I ask you directly
I would like to test the new 2.3 with the Wolf's TW GB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988) but I saw some people who had problems with battery autonomy.
I run, right now, the 2.1.A.0.435 and I'm really satisfied about the battery. My X10 is on for 40 hours and I got 74% battery. Yes, I don't use it very much but it's enough for me.
So I wanna know how the battery usage is with the Wolf's rom and if I can test it without being disappointed.
P.S.: sorry for my ugly english
I cant speak for all users but my battery drains very fast. I dont know why, but might its because I often use wifi and my screen brightness is set to maximum.

Doooooooh, using wifi and screen brightness to the fullest drain battery. on my side i can tell you that wolf's rom with the hotfix is perfect. I can go through the day easy with screen brightness to half, no wifi, im on 3g all time, listening 2 hours a day some music while playing Asphalt 5 on my way to work. So yes battery is ok as long as you don't use to much wifi and bluetooth.

from what ive learned in the year or so ive been using android phones is that everyones battery experience is different. I find 3g drains my battery and wifi doesnt. All you can do is try it for yourself.
Wolf's TW battery is suburb for me ;-) i moderately use my wifi, Bluetooth, brightness, etc.
After 17hrs of slightly heavy using its 61%

May I ask a question, with all due respect to everybody's work?
Why would you use a modified stock ROM,
be it WB's or anyone elses, since we have root, which means that you can tweak the stock ROM to your needs?
I mean, it's one thing to have CM ROMs or MiUI ROMs or vanilla Android,
but a modified stock ROM is still stock people!
I much prefer to make tweaks on my own, remove what I don't need, etc.
Just my 2 cents.
Again, I mean no disrespect, WB has been doing an elaborate job on his ROMs.
my battery lasts twice with 2.33, (i was before on WB froyo), with normal use 16 hours 50% at the end of my long day.
so battery life is awesome, i think is becouse is not as smooth in some games and apps.

not everyone can invest the time to learn the tweaks, and WB is based on CM isnt it? anyways i am loving the battery on my stock GB, will probably root it to get titanium to work and remove some of the bloatware, Ive used WB 2.2 but the battery really sucked, tried alot of BBs but didnt manage to fix the drain
You should really try-out this ROM. It has speed tweaks/battery tweaks ported from another devices. This is the only ROM for the x10 with these tweaks.
I am using WB's rom with FIX005. The battery not drain very fast.
At least I can use it for whole day.

+1 to that and no, wb's 2.3 is based on stock 2.3.

Yeah, but learning how to mod your phone is half the fun!!
Anyway, it's good that there are options and I know WB makes really
fast ROMs, his 2.2 was very snappy and stable.
However, what I've been trying to point out is that WB's 2.3.3
is not CM, it's stock SE ROM, tweaked.

I would try WB's ROM, but I'd like to keep my RAM management more balanced and flexible, because I need a lot of apps to run in the background and not being killed.
Anyway, again, no offence to anybody.
As always, Wolfbreak, great job!

I can tell you that there are there alot of apps in the background running that are not being killed. Much more then on Froyo/Eclair. So what stops you from trying it out?!
The most important ones I got running are:
- WhatsApp
- MSN Talk Pro
- Google Talk
- Facebook
- Seesmic
- LiveProfile
- KikMessenger
- Skype
- Viber
- Data Monitor
- DSP Manager
- Equalizer
- SwiftKey
- Widgetsoid
- Beautifull Widgets
And much more...
And none of them have ever been killed, they all worked fine! Battery life is also great! They are always running in the background. (If in your case the apps are being killed to fast, there is a way to tune it down to what you want!!)

Can you give me tweaking lessons please? I only know how to use autokiller optimiser, but don't know any other apps..
on 2.2 tw 009 the phone keep working for almost 4 days of normal usage, now on 2.3 tw 005 it acts weird, sometimes it looses 20% in 1hour, but average it keeps for 2 days
Hey in hotfix5 there is GoogleTalk1.3 which support videochat. Does this work on the x10?
Edit: Doesnt work, I always get a fc when i klick on the camera-symbol
I will test that, right now
Thanks all
3 hours unplugged, and little to no use, and my phone is down 40%
So my phone is using way more power than it had under 2.1 I'm going to guess that it has to do with the baseband, and localization for me.
I switched from Wolf's 2.2 / 009 to 2.3 / 005 on my business phone. 3 hrs music per day (that's the time I need from home to office) many phone calls, gaming, testing, playing. I've to charge once a day. Think that is not to bad.

In battery use, under Settings, what has the higher percentage?

I love to play around with new ROMs and kernels and usually don't mind a few hiccups and occasional poor performance. But soon I will have a one week period where I need my phone to be as solid as possible. What's the best ROM/kernel for this?
I currently use CM7 as my daily and have tested CM9. CM7 is great except battery life is pretty bad, with both the CM7 and Samurai kernels. I lose about 1% of battery for every 90 secs I'm actively doing something - even on Wifi and with a strong 3g signal. A 15minute drive with GPS (and screen off) easily takes 10% off my battery. This is unacceptable for my upcoming event.
I would like a ROM/kernel combo that can go for a minimum of 12 hours with moderate use. No voice, but frequent texting, email, twitter checks, some photos, and calling up pdfs. Battery life and stability are the top concerns, but GPS is important as well. CM7 gives me the best GPS results I've ever had with my Epic, but like I said, the battery performance is awful.
Any ideas? Focusing on all the cutting edge stuff means I've lost touch with the latest improvements on the more basic, but more solid ROMs.
Thanks!
get a larger battery or pick up a spare oe battery as a backup.
this is one of those questions you just dont ask cause it all depends on how you use your phone and all that i know you say what you mostly use it for but it still doesnt help if you are looking for a stable rom as far as mtd goes they are all good and as far as kernels go they are all good but the kicker is just finding what works best for you feel free to play around with them flash one per day and figure out which one works best for you cause honestly we cant tell you cause what would extend our battery life might not work for you because you use your phone differently than we do but trust me all of our devs are gonna throw out something that doesnt work all the warnings are there and all the help and how to's for each rom and kernel are in their respective threads sorry i couldnt give you a better answer bud
happy flashing
Oh and I forgot to mention since you have been running cm7 make sure you don't flash a bml rom not sure if u were aware of that or not so only flash and MTD rom and kernel
CleanGB. No OC/UV, and buy an epic touch 1800mah battery. For me I get best responsiveness vs battery life if I run 100/800mhz with governer set to performance. You'd have to REALLY try to kill that battery in a day with this setup.
Edit: you use gps in the car without plugging it in? No wonder your battery commits suicide lol. If I use gps and stream music through bluetooth it still discharges on the charger.
There is no such thing. Even pure stock has errors on some people's phones. You need to try one or if it is that important than stock is your best bet. EVERY Phone is different. Read through some of the ROMs...95% of the people have no problems and 5% do. It is the nature of the beast. No one can tell which is best for YOUR phone. And if CM7 is giving you terrible battery life, there already is something wrong with your phone setup. You probably need to start from scratch and restore no apps or data and download apps fresh from the market.
I've always had good luck with CleanGB roms & kernals by toadlife.

But not everybody does. There is no best. I can easily say marcusantrom with shadow kernel is best on touchwiz and CM7 with the kernel it comes with is the best in general. I won't say this because different people have different phones and preferences... if you really want the best rom/kernel/theme, make it yourself.

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
