Try the MIUI build (any). If you like the nexus one builds you will definitely love the MIUI build. If you don't like the iphone looking style just install ADW or launcher pro from the market. You will also need to use an android friendly wm rom. Use vbn with excellers multiple build loader both are found in the android development section. When you use the build loader app chose auto boot 3 seconds, ( you will know what I'm talking about when you are in the app). Hope this helps

i tryed just about every rom, got atleast 24hrs with all of them. most were 48+ with conditioning... for me bat life was more an isue of shutdown voltage in the kernel than any thing else..

Strange some people say to switch to that from Desire or Desire HD builds because it has better battery life ?
I am running
MDJ Revolution 1.7 with MDJ 7.6HD Kernel
Radio 2.15.50.14
I find that the above radio is better on battery than my previous 2.12.50.xx
Also the Kernel is better too.
But it depends on how much you play with your phone I get 3 - 7ma drain on my current setup but of course when you start calling or playing games it will easily go up to 200ma.
I find the above rom very stable I can't find anything that doesn't work and its fast enough for me I don't notice any lag or freezing.
I was thinking of switching to your ROM to try but if the battery life is that bad then I may stick with this.

guyz lil but of an update here still on the same rom and i've manged to last 14 hours and i still have 72 % in the battery, with very little usage a couple of texts couple minutes of browsing and some music
im using setcpu greenpower and advanced task killer
ssetcpu is at the minimum
advanced task killer set to auto kill - crazy (means it kills apps as soon as screen goes off)
greenpower set to manage wifi and mobile data, turns off wifi and data when there is low traffic and turns it off as soo ans the screen goes off
its working for me so far so just wanted to post it up incase anybody else wanted to know

[Q] Battery Life in MIUI roms compared to others :S

Over the Last couple of days I have been using the stock MIUI rom, it ran supurb and very fast and stable and with the gingerbread theme for MIUI it looked very nice. And battery life for me was incredable using it normally like I do and at the end of the day maybe be around 55-65% left.
I now have moved onto the CM7 rom as wanted more of a stock like phone and read it is very good but from full battery within an hour it is almost 30% BT is not on as know there is a common no sense rom issue.
Although this is easily fixed by just switching back I wandered if anyone knew any stock like roms with good battery performance? or should I just stick with miui?
Im using a Euro HD2, and think its the 2.15 radio

You are using HTC HD2?

You are using HTC HD2? If yes, it's normal. Almost all android roms draining batteries very quickly... And MIUI drains the battery additionally...

I do realise that the MIUI roms drain the battery lol only at a much slower rate all my question was, is there a stock rom that drains it at a similar rate so it lasts say a days use instead of an hour
Also why are the CM7 mods the worst offenders at the min ?

go to market, and download currentwidget. put the phone on standby (turn off BT and GPS) let it sit for a minute, go to currentwidget and see how many mA is showing. if it's 3-7mA on standby, then it's normal.

You should try get your hands on MDJ's Cyanogen Mod 2.6. I thought that had great battery for a CM7 ROM. You won't find it here on XDA as MDJ's work is banned but a little google should do the try.
It comes with the stock launcher but it's pretty easy to download your preferred launcher.

Best 2.1 ROM for battery

Hi, as I said, Im looking for a 2.1 rom with all the tweaks to improve battery life, and the reason why I want a 2.1 is because I need a full working camera, including zoom.
At the moment Im trying Bitsnaker 2.1. Any recommendations?

Sorry for the obvious answer but it will be SE stock if you want 2.1
However,
The ROM I am on has fully functional camera and great battery life.
(40+ hours on my last full charge)
Just go for wolfbreaks rom, but not yet, wait a bit, he is about to release v007!!!

I haven't tried it myself but I hear erickwill's EWJet Rom is very good.

Definitely Erickwill's EWJet ROM! The best 2.1 ROM

ERICK WILL EXV010 ALL THE WAY
Hey guys ive been doing some battery tests on this rom and i will soon upload screenshots on erickwills thread. But anyway right now the battery is at 44% and phone has been unplugged for 4 days and 5 hours, that is by using 2g, alot of texting ( about 100 texts), phone calls (normal use), playing some apps, using wifi, having the alarm clock on, and using 3g for about 2 hours. Now You Tell Me If Thats Good, Cause I Think : IT IS THE BEST 2.1 ROM EVERRRRR

I have to disagree with gregbradley since I flashed SE rom and I keep losing battery without using it.
I used to have Wolf CM installed until now,because WB rom doesnt have fully working camera, lack of zoom, and several fc on camera.flashed twice and notihng.apart from that that rom is great for battery too,its my daily rom.
Just because I need the damn camera,I heard good coments about Erik will rom and it's bugging me..now I still have Bitsnacker rom, its not bad and looks great but EW's rom is a tease,I heard it doesnt include the SE option to download APN settings?just because he thinks he can use those 7mb in something else...not happy with that.

I try EwJet rom, it is very good for battery life but it is not compatible with my MW600 bluetooth handset It has some bugs.
I'm using kx10 rom + Undervolt module v3 now.
My battery level is %50 now. My phone has been unplugged for 1 days and 12 hours, that is by using 2g, alot of texting ( about 50 texts), phone calls (20 min), playing some apps, using wifi, having the alarm clock on, and listening music with bluetooth device (about 2 hours)

Seems like a good rom! Gonna try it out since wolfbreak was draining my battery so fast! And im having issues with trips roms and proximity sensors
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA App

try BitSnacker V2

EWJet!!! this is the best for battery.

I also use Erickwill's EWJet ROM, with ArcLauncher - all the works very quickly, as for 2.1 version of Android.

Best Kernel and ROM (2.2.x or 2.3.x) for G1 considering Battery Save

Hello,
I'v tried 3 ROM's (gingeryoshi 1.2, froyo by lazlo(last one)) and different kernels but on 2.2.x or 2.3.x my G1 get battery drain really fast..
Now I'm using COS-DS 2.3.4 and the battery drain is lower (when the mobile is on "stand by" drains really lower.. But when I get a call (2.. or 3 minutes..) or use Camera, Internet.. etc it consume battery really fast. (From the 3 ROM's above the one that giveme best baterry life on 2.x.x was COS-DS).
When I use my mobile on 1.x (1.5... 1.6) android ROM the baterry last's better than in those 2.x.x ROMs.
So here is my question.. I need sugestions of ROMs and Kernels for battery saving (I use the mobile a lot).
Thx a lot
I

Anyone can helpe me?

you're going to have to find a rom that you like and then flash a undervolted kernel over it. im using cm7 magpie with an undervolted kernel and battery is good but not great. most roms don't have amazing battery life since they are for speed. the g1 never had great battery life anyway. if you want good battery get an extende battery off ebay.

Thx a lot, do u sugest any kernel to froyo by lazlo with undervloting settings?

The kernel that I'm using with FBL 5.2 is the [email protected] #145. I've tried many with that ROM but this one seem to be working great and I've gotten the best battery life from it. With the radio off, I get over 6-7 hours before it drains a percent or two. With the radio on and I'm stationary with a decent signal, I get only 1 percent drain per 1 1/2 hour when the radio is in standby.
I flashed the kernel after I setup the phone and most of the apps I use. I also flashed this kernel on my wife's G1 with SuperBler v4 and it made a huge difference also. Give it a try. Good luck.

Will a Froyo rom be more conservative regarding battery life than a gingerbread one in the G1?

depends on the rom

[Q] Battery life

Two days ago I installed Cyanogenmod SDSL4 on my GT540.
I knew that such ROM would drain more battery than stock ROMs, yet it's draining too much battery, a lot more than I was expecting: with stock ROMs my device would stay alive for more than 3 days without a recharge, while with this ROM it went off during both the nights passed since the installation!
Is it normal that with this mod battery life went down to ~30% of stock ROM?
I'd like to flash my device again with a ROM that drains less battery, what do you suggest? Would it be possible to quantify the average battery life for the different ROMs?
Also, from a technical point of view, why are some ROMs draining battery so much more quickly than others?

- it is normal that custom roms eat a lot more battery
-> you could try to calibrate the battery (app on market) might give you some extra life
- the most batteryfriendly is definitely 2.1 ROM (stock or modded, eg Eleganceswift) then 2.2 (very good ROM: utopia or superfastfroyo)
2.3.x is well known for the battery problems (on every ROM)
quantification ? well :
2.1 100 % "batterypoints" ~ 3 days
2.2 66 % "batterypoints" ~ 2 days
2.3 33 % "batterypoints" ~ 1 day only
- technical view : i think there are many facts but mostly the features of 2.2/2.3

Thanks for the answer.
I like this ROM, but it's not worth to me if the battery lasts this short.
I'll move back to 2.1 for now, but am planning to try 2.2 soon.
Looking at some 2.1 ROM posts I had the impression that they are better in everything with respect to the custom ROM (they say custom ROMs drain less battery, are more stable and have a few fixes). Is that true?
I want a 2.1 ROM with fastboot mode enabled (but I guses all of them have fastboot already).
Other than that I'm not sure about the differences between the several 2.1 custom ROMs: which one would you guys suggest (and why)?

Quarx black would be I think the Best. Modded kernel and theme
i dont think there is a post for this rom so i am uploading the rom and posting the link here
i will say that 2.2 and up is better then 2.1 but for battery life yes its best all newer phones like the htc sensation or galaxy sII can hold more then a full day
quarx black link:
http://i.minus.comundefined/dPtuXmZ8uhYtt.zip

Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for my delay.
Could find a link to Quarx's official thread (it's in russian, but browser's translator is doing a great job) on the ROMs thread.
Is the version linked on that site newer than yours?
And how big does my system partition need to be?
System 250MB and data 134MB like with the stock ROM?
EDIT: Could answer myself to the latest question: here they say a 150MB partition for system is enough for Quarx.
