incdoes hd desire rom, KK#5.
i always loved sense... thats why i never tried another rom.. then i saw the new sense and fell in love with it. been using it since i think .3
Currently running The New Guy and loving it. It's very smooth. I also ran Uncommon Sense for awhile and loved everything about that ROM, too; it's a toss up which is better IMO. I've tried most ROMs and liked the features of Sense overall better than the AOSP ROMs.
Skyraider 3.3 + IncRevolution = SEXY @$$ PHONE!
(also throw in King Kernel BFS #5 for quickness and battery life)
I use my own roms most of the time with king 5 cfs (for sense) and king 1 cfs (for vanilla) and the colin-ph battery tweak.
This makes for a sexy and stable phone

I'm running Ruby 1.1.1 with Adrynalyne's battery aosp kernel. I'm a big fan of vanilla roms and I like how lightweight Ruby is. I might switch to CM 6.1 when the final release comes out though.
Skyraider 3.3.1 Sense, by far my favorite ROM and I've flashed plenty. It has the key features of the new Sense and has been 100% stable and bug free. I was one of the beta testers and even then it was amazing. I've tried many others and always come back. Kings BFS #5, again for good measure.
I love stock sense 2.2. I use the leaked version.
I have added features which were important to me by studying kernels. I chose hydrakernel undervolted v0.5.
My battery life it's awesome without screwing around with task killers.
Kings kernels sound great too.

Thanks man but i cannot find it anywhere
Ok so i looked it up and it seems like it basically does exactly what i have setcpu already doing. And yes i use set cpu with a kings kernel and it works wonderfully for me.
My favorite by far is Redemptive rEVOlution. Very smooth, haven't had a FC yet, and the battery life is nice. This is with WiFi and Bluetooth on the entire time, and no bump charge with the Seido 1750.

What's everyones default rom?
Best batteryy life?
Mine is mikshift and cm7
best ROM i've had is gingerbread shift deck (which i've been using for the past couple weeks), best battery life i've had was on AwesomeROM or MikShift
I'm really liking Mikshift OC'd to 1.5GHz. MikBrando GSense has an awesome look and feel (guess I'm partial to the Sense eye candy and 2.0 is slick) and it will probably be my daily driver once the kernel source is released and it can be OC'd. BrandoKC's green theme really gives it an "executive" look. On the other hand, Sense ROMs can't touch the performance of AOSP ROMs such as cm7 at equivalent clock speeds, but you pay for it with battery life. That's my two cents.
Sent from my MikShifted Speedy using XDA Premium App
ive been getting the best battery life on cm7. im on nightly 91 and using the stock kernel clocked to 1 ghz and i can easily go a full 2 days with atleast 15 percent left
default is cm7 stable 7.0.3.1 but lately i've been using shift deck and it's cool.
Shift deck is the very best rom imo. I love it and its better than CM7 to me.

I wish my GPS worked and I also wished my signal was better so that I could fully enjoy CM7. I keep having to go back to a sense rom to "fix" the GPS issue. I'm on Mikshift at the moment and it's sluggish compared to aosp, but at least it's fully functional for me.
I haven't tried alot of them, but I went with evervolv, I couldn't go back. Even trying cm7 after.

Shiftdeck!!! Nuff said
I like shiftdeck, though I still don't understand what's with the bootlooping on the last couple of releases.
CM7 is the fastest, smoothest for me and I love the nightlies.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
I'm on the stock rooted rom. I loaded the speedy kingdom rom, but was too laggy and too many FCs for me, so I switched back. I'm running the X99 kernel, running at the defaults (1.2 gHz max), and it's running like a champ. I could run it at 1.5, but it runs so good at 1.2, that I didn't feel the need to go higher. Battery life is good too.
cm7 and x99 is working like a champ for me. so far nothing seems out of place, and all my aftermarket applications works fine such as youmail, gvoice, and gmail pushes as well. 2032 on quadrant :O !!!

Have you tried Shift Deck with x99. It runs awesome, even better than the nightlies. My Quadrant went from 3380 to 3900 switching to Shift Deck. All my other benchmarks went up aswell.
I love deck's ROM also, SO fast. The bootloops are because of a new kernel he is trying. Don't worry he'll have it figured out soon enough. Anyways my favorite of all favorites has to be MIUI 1.4.29. I love the UI, it's fast, and by far the best battery life of any ROM I've tried.

Before the release of a stable AOSP ROM, the best battery life for me was AwesomeRom using a 1.8g bfq test kernel. I can't remember who the dev was since its been a while, but I believe it was Bcnice20. The ROM & kernel combo made my phone pretty snappy while also giving me like 14-16 hrs of battery life through heavy use.
On AOSP, my favorite ROM has to be Kush-Deck 1.2t so far. I just flashed Scary's Stable Kernel v2 last night. I have min at 245MHz, max at 1209MHz, and the governor set to "Smartass". I'm hoping those settings will give me the best experience in terms of performance, stability, & battery life.
I had been rawkin' an older version of Deck's ROM with the stock Kernel for a bit but after a while my battery life started going down hill. Before that i had been on different versions of CM7 for a while since RC 1 but battery life was even worse on those.
I've been pretty stoked on Deck so far and think I'll prolly keep rawkin this for a while. Especially since everything seems to be working well for me including GPS, Wi-Fi, 4G, etc.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I also use deck's rom with the newest x99 kernel. Miui is also nice, but I always find myself flashing back to an aosp rom after a day or so.
Right now I'm using ultimate droid latest untill that project crashed and burned, and the battery lasts forever on 100% but after that its like a slow leak.. any other roms for great battery life that is Gingerbread? I don't want any launcherpro roms or adw roms those annoy me

You mean you want a Rom with the stock aosp launcher. I recommend trying virtuous G-Lite. Read the instructions in the OP, for info on how to get the stock launcher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076786
G-Lite has the best battery life of any Rom I have ever tested.
And are you aware that you don't need to stick with the launcher that comes with a Rom? You can install which ever is your favourite and uninstall the one that comes included with the Rom.

Stock Rom for sense and virtuous G-Lite for asop
Once again I reccomend meXdroidMod PreGhostChilli. It is a very fast asop build that has waydownsouth's tweaKr script built into it. So as long as you use the included kernel you can set profiles for your processor via tweaKr script that react MUCH faster than any app (like setCPU). You can also undervolt your processor, tweak your i/o, and install the smart cpu script; all of those things will do wonders for battery life. I can squeeze an entire day of HEAVY usage out of my phone, and nearly two days of moderate to light usage (and I have an almost bad battery), just be sure and take the time to properly calibrate your battery after flashing the rom.

Okay, so suppose I wanted a rom exactly like this one any ideas because I live gingerbread yet I'm not a fan of sense
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
AOSP: Virtuous G-Lite hands down, it's a 2.3.3 version that is very stable. Comes with LauncherPRO and is as stock as you can be. No lag anywhere and can be overclocked as well with the included kernel, though, now i think RMK and team included a script that automatically overclocks up to 1.2GHz for you by default. About 1 day of heavy use on a charge, just less than 2 days of light use on a charge.
Other: MIUI Official English, it's a 2.3.4 version that is incredibly stable with the CRT screen off animation. Alittle weird to use at first, but it's really easy to pick up on. Overclockable to 1.5GHz using CPUTuner or SetCPU. Lasts about 3 days of light use on a charge. About 1.5 days of heavy use on a charge.
You should try Virtours G-lite, best of any ROM I have used. 1 thing is more Free RAM to play ^^

Can Virtuous G-lite handle any apps you throw at it? (e.g. Angry Birds/Cut The Rope/Robot Unicorn Attack?)
Or does it sacrifice performance for battery life?

usually cm9 or cm9 kangs as my rom.
now the kernel is the tricky part. its almost always Trinity, but i can use 3 or 4(or more) different versions of trinity in a day. teuv is usually my while-im-at-work kernel, but i can be using t11, t132, or t144 at any given point in the day. sometimes all of them in a day. t144 is usually the kernel i like to use when im playing around. what i like about them is that they work as intended. they are all bare bone kernels(ics versions) therefore dont contain any mods that we've all gotten used to. but that also means that the trinity kernels dont contain any introduced bugs either(that many kernels wrestle with). i know ive not really explained anything, it is what it is

I'm using kangs8 ics with eugene kernel speedy5. my favourite combo so far!
I'm using HAKA's KANGY v8 atm, pretty nice I have to say, occasional bug whilst flashing, but probably down to TWRP than anything.
I'm normally running Eugene's speedy kernel, fast, smooth and stable, the right balance of them all. Quite like the Matr1x as well.
I'm using Peter Alfonso's ICS with his stock kernel,no problems so far,the best ics rom out there !
Peter Alfonso is the way to go! to me he had the best GB rom and his ICS nightlies are nothing short

I'm using the latest CM9 kang + trinity t11 and it's smooth for me.
I'm using the Virtuous Quattro ICS RC2 ROM

The only issue I have come across which is quite annoying is most videos are extremely laggy- this is irritating because its how I overcome my commute to and from work. For example the opening video sequence for Asphalt 6 HD is extremely laggy but the game plays flawlessly! I have a coupe of avi files on my device as well and they have the same problem. Sound is fine...
Apart from this everything so far functions flawlessly.
I've been using KANGY8 and SPEEDY5 up to now its been the smoothest with no reboots. Rom is butter smooth and that kernal is just crazy stable and fast. Best so far and I've flashed so many rom and kernal combinations.
I'm using AOSP+ rom with Steve Garon's kernel. I actually downclocked to 800Mhz and it gives me better battery life and it is smooth enough.

Hi, currently my i9023 is installed with stock ICS (ROM and kernel) and frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the performance. The battery performance is, I think, comparable with that of the stock gingerbread.
But now I'm looking for custom kernel to make battery performance even better. Do you guys have any experience what is the most suitable kernel for stock ICS, especially in battery performance area? With so many options to choose for (matr1x, kangs, eugene, and the list goes on and on... ), sometimes it can get confusing ....
