Is it battery Life? styling? quickness? all three maybe? Im using mikfroyo 4.4. pretty quick. Would love to use the Hulu thats installed, wont let me tho.. thats the only negative.
I like trying to maximize my battery life, so I've been on Calkulin's EViO 2 for the past week. Performance is still adequate and battery life is amazing. Lots of fun knobs to twist with his battery scripts.

MIUI
1 Having the highest scores tested.
2. Getting 24 hrs of battery life
3. The amazing features brought to you by the amazing and nicest development team in the game.
Sending from my EVO running MIUI with SBC...not for the faint of heart
I've been running MIUI for about a week now.
1. Consistently getting over 20 hours of battery life.
2. Stability. No FCs or crashes or reboots since its been running..
3. Quadrant and linpack scores aside, my phone has never run faster or smoother.
I recommend everyone giving this ROM a try.

How many hours of heavy use you get out of MIUI? I've tried it and its cool, but you have to give up some nice sense hacks (like roaming verizon at 3g speeds)

I am currently running VaelPak 3.0, and here are some of the reasons why:
1. No sense to lag the phone, but keeps some of the sense features.
2. Fast performance.
3. Great battery life so far.
This is only my second ROM, so I am still trying to figure out my best options. I will more than likely switch over to Cyanogen once it the 4G release becomes more stable.
I'm currenly running Sprint Lover. But i flash everyday....
1) I like to have the option to change around
2) Fast performance
3) and of course the battery life.
1. 4G (will switch to cyanogen/MIUI once 4G works)
2. Wireless tether
3. Battery life, performance, looks
Right now, I'm using Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 with GO Launcher.
1. 4G. I get 4G at school and in one of my classes, I use it with EasyTether since school WiFi doesn't reach that one classroom.
That's about it. I'd probably switch to MIUI when 4G works since I'm super-happy with GO Launcher.
Using Mik-froyo v4.5 beta V.
Love the quickness
Layout of the theme (Chogardjr's Blue theme)
battery life (net's 4.3.2 bfs-sbc-havs-more) avg 16-18 hrs with moderate to light work.
CM7 nightlies
ADW EX with Ubuntu Theme.
1. looks sexy - unbuntu theme is hawt
2. performs sexy - quick and smooth
3. battery life - astounding if i turn 3g off when i'm not using it...on average I net 30-35 hours of battery life
Using my own custom ROM.
1. As stable as ever.
2. All hardware on my phone works as advertised.
3. Not sacrificing anything to achieve great battery life and a fast beautiful looking ROM.

Not sure of an average, but yesterday I got approx. 12-14 hours. I was off from work, and used it heavily. Mainly browsing, twitter, facebook, and email.

what version of miui are you using?
how is the battery compared to cm?
MIUI with the Black'ups Darkness theme
It is easily the best looking ROM I have tried
It is easily the best performing ROM that I have tried
It is easily the most unique ROM I have tried
It is easily the most stable ROM I have tried
It has the best battery life (24hrs+)
It has the best dev team
It is updated weekly with new and more badass features added all the time

MIUI version #0.1.21
Coming from CM 6, the battery life on MIUI is much better based on my usage. When on CM, id have to charge my battery as soon as I got home from work. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I use Cyanogenmod, because:
1) It's Open-Source, and I support Open-Source software,
2) It's rock-solid stable;
3) It's fast as hell.
Stock MikFroyo (stock as in no themes)
Netarchy 4.3.1 Havs, CFS, no-sbc (gonna update to 4.3.2 with sbc)
1. Fastest, most stable sense rom
2. I lose nothing (hdmi, 4g works)
3. Regular updates and releases
I also use Myn RLS5 with MS's SBC #15 v7
What I liked about that:
1. Beautiful rom, performed well.
2. Still didn't lose anything, hdmi and 4g worked
3. Regular updates, releases and when RLS5 was released, I got it a day or 2 early because I'm a regular in the IRC chat he frequents (super freaking cool).
I will eventually add Cyanogen and MIUI to my rotation when:
1. They get 4g and hdmi working. Well, at least 4g, the reason I bought the phone in the first place.
I have used CM in the passed for my MyTouch Slide and G2. What I liked about that:
1. Stable as all hell and very good performance.
2. Battery life far surpassed the stock rom from either phone.
3. Wider customization options from regular stock Android or Sense/Expresso
I have never used MIUI or any of the other roms here.
Three things I don't like about each:
Mikfroyo 4.4
1. Battery life is abysmal unless you add battery hacks, extended battery or an SBC kernel (I'm adding an sbc kernel to help). I can get 12 hours of usage out of it if I'm careful (no facebooking, twitter, browsing...just text, phone calls and my rss widget used) but I often find myself with it plugged into my car charger or computer before the end of the day in case I go somewhere and don't want it to die.
2. There isn't nearly as many themes for this as there is for Myn's Warm. The Slayer Cyan Dragon theme is awesome, but it's really heavy on the battery usage, which is already quite bad.
3. 4g cuts out sometimes. It almost always turns back on without a reboot, but it seems when I'm in motion in my car, it struggles to keep 4g despite signal being strong in my whole city.
Myn rls5
1. Isn't as quick as MikFroyo. It performs on par (if not a little better) than stock, but doesn't have quite the zippy, iPhone-level quickness of MikFroyo
2. The widgets are themed, the apps aren't. What's the point of having a sexy, dark messaging widget when the thing glows whiter than a hospital hallway when you open it?
3. A lot of the themes actually drag down the quality of the looks of the rom. You have to look hard and spend a lot of time to find a theme that actually improves on the original theme.
CM
1. No 4g or hdmi, enough said. To their credit, they are really working hard to get it and that's why they're the best.
2. The stock widgets on stock rom suck or don't exist. No messaging widget (just the iPhone style app that opens it), facebook widget doesn't work with any known theme. You sacrifice quite a bit for performance and the original taste of vanilla in terms of extras and features...but those of us who use vanilla don't care, do we fellas? Besides, there's always handcent
3. Couldn't think of a third one. I'm a big fan of CM, even without a good messaging widget/app.
Again, haven't used MIUI or the rest so I can't give an opinion.
Also, if you feel the need to quote me on any of these and give me crap, keep in mind they are just opinions All our devs here freaking rock and all their stuff is fantastic.
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.
i am sure there is a thread on here already for this but i can't seem to find it i am looking for the best kernal and rom combo with the ultimate battery life with also o.c. supportive as well i am wondering what is it that i can do or flash i am currently running g.b. stock rom with a cynobenmod kernal i am wondering what everyone else best experience is also batteries ext. does anyone have a great cheap battery that extended there life on the evo i use tethering about 5 hours a day and i really need that to work to last all day and making 6-7 phone calls thorugh out that day just so you know i am using a evo 4g
if you don't mind AOSP-based ROMs, try Deck's ROM ([6-21-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.2][2.3.4 Stable] - xda-developers) and then flash a Tiamat kernel (I've been using the latest and its been great) ([Kernel][AOSP] Tiamat | 2.6.38.8 | 6/6/11 -xda-developers). You can also try viperboy's undervolt mod [MOD]viperMOD for AOSP Kernels - v3 beta RC2.4 |Updated 6.14.11|*App in Progress!* - xda-developers on top of the kernel...helps out with battery life. Try the -100mv first then step down gradually till your phone is stable again
I agree with cg about decks and viperboys script. I personally get better battery life and performance with savagedzen. Also try underclocking down to 691....I do and notice no slowdown.
I have been using MikG v2.15 and battery life has never been better. Also it is far more stable than the custom kernels with voltage tweakers in my experience.
+1 to what Ronnie said. I like leaving as much stock as possible. I am running MikG 2.2 and never have to worry about a charger.

I've used MikG, Synergy, KingsROM, etc. (essentially all of the GB Sense-based ROMs that were 2.1/3.0 hybrids). And yea MikG had the best battery life compared to the others but I would only get maybe 12 hours out of it. What are your settings??
I'm with the Deck's crowd here. I use Deck's with Tiamat 3.3.7 (too lazy to try the newer versions), and I don't usually hit 50% battery life till about 18-ish hours off charger with constant texting/Tweetdeck/push notifications and a few phone calls.
I am not using any special settings or tweaks. Using Google sync to access 4 email accounts, etc. Also I unchecked the Always On Mobile Data setting.
It has been 100% stable - no stalls, connectivity issues, or anything like that.
Nice thing about MikG is that it uses Sense.
Decks and the latest tiamat sbc w viper boy....2600 mah battery I'll get 40hrs

Try MIUI's newest release...not sure what it is off the top of my head. Definitely the best battery life I've ever gotten. Get a solid 15 -16 hours with medium to heavy usage. (fbook,youtube, calls, texting, web browsing, downloading).
Im with you - Im on MikG now I love the ROM but I do not even get 12 hours with a 3500 mah battery. That is on a heavy usage day on low usage days I get 18 houirs. Not horrible but not good. Was actually looking for a sense based ROM with better battery.
Cyanogenmod 7 with tiamat kernel, stable version gives me great performance and stability and GREAT battery life.
Check my sig for my setup, I am currently using my AOSP setup. I get at least a day with heavy usage, stock battery. I use Juice Defender too, it seems to work well, especially with AOSP ROMs.
Radios matter too, if you have high Android System usage or cell standby, flash some new radios.
NANDROID.

Hi, everyone, I've heard the sense based ROMs have better battery life for Desire HD, so anyone knows wich is the best for battery life between:
LeeDroid
CoreDroid
Android Revolution
?
Thank you very much!
Yeah 3 very nice roms.
I think it's a personal journey.
You might try them all and see what you prefer.
Make sure you disable anything you don't need running in the background.
Some other users will know better than me though.
Most users seem to use Android Revolution in the which rom do you have thread.
Maybe because it stays true to the original visual experience.
Hello,
I have tried stock rom, revolution hd and miui.
MIUI has really better battery drain , it has a nice look too.
I think htc sense cause an increase in battery drain.
You get better battery life with MIUI?
Virtuous unity has some pretty good battery life better then android revolution i found for my use.
I have used ARHD (which is good) and a few different CM7 Roms and the best to date is Alienminds CM7 Rom updated with LorD's 6.2 BFS Kernel. I use Juice Defender but leave CPU control to the Rom.
I Put the phone down last night at 11pm with 72% battery and when I picked up at 8am it was...... 72%
I use the mugem 1500ma battery. Part way through the third cycle. I have been trying to go through the 5 cycles quickly but even using the phone solid for 3 hours it only dropped 25%. Screen use over those 3 hours was 93%.
I would, without doubt, recommended this setup.... very happy!

Forgot to say, I also use the puv under volting script with LorD's 6.2 kernel.

I've had great battery life with mike1986's Android Revolution HD 5.2.2 Rom. It's very fast, very smooth, and i've had no problems with it (although a few are reporting wifi connection issues).
I think he's releasing 5.2.3 today/soon which should increase battery life even further! Can't wait!
I'm using Android Revolution HD 5.2.2 and I'm happy about it battery life is ok
I am on Mr.Garak Miui 1.7.22v2 and have no battery drain (on screen off 3-5ma)
I think Doubleshot has a good battery life

i have rcmix 1.9 rom + leedroid kernel battery lasts for almost 24h
Same for me
Same for me
+1 for MIUI ROMs. About 1-5mA with screen off
Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
On CM7 RC1 now: much to my surprise, it feels like the battery is doing better than with 7.0.3, though I don't think I can back this up empirically. My battery didn't fare too well with Coredroid V7 or MIUI, though they're both great ROMs.
All in all, pleasantly surprised by how this RC is doing. Keep up the good work everyone!
Cyanogenmod + lord mod kernel + puv script is what is working great for me. Sense roms seem to have quite a bit of superfluous features which cause a bit more drain than aosp roms like cm and miui.

ONLY LEEDROID HD gives u sense 3 rosie mods with excelllent battery life.
so, if you like sense 3d rosie, go for leedroid hd and,
if u need only the stock gingerbread rom devoid of sense 3d rosie, go for revolution hd.
the rest roms are laggy or battery sucks.
great
greate post
I have been using Android Revolution HD since 5.1.9 with Sense 3.0 All in one. With medium use (few phone calls, sms, browsing the internet) my battery lasts 24-48 hours. That's good enough for me
Hi, let me first say sorry for this post. I know there are a million..
I do not have a Inc but my daughter does, last time I messed with it, I put CM7 rc3 on it right when rc3 was released. ever since then I have not read one word on the development of this phone. The phone runs good but battery life could be better.
Is there anything better than CM7? looking for the best battery life possible. Please suggest ROM/Kernel. sense or senseless.
Thanks,
Coming from an avid user of Sense I would say CM7, MIUI, and OMGB or OMFGB are the "best" with battery as they are stripped of Sense. If you don't get good battery life with any of those AOSP roms, kernel combo or not, there isn't much more anyone can do.
I only use Sense roms but I know if battery life & Senseless were my thing, I would have an AOSP rom. Not sure on kernels, the crowd can fill you in on their experience.
Best bet would be to flash incredikernel, and then dl incredicontrol from the market. Stick with cm7, use the underclocking app of your choice, and then use incredicontrol to lower the voltages at different frequencies...if it reboots, go one back until its stable.

I would suggest flashing the newest CM nightly. There have been some changes and kernel tweaks since rc3.
I'm on 10 1/2 hours sitting at 70%, albeit light use, but still I usually get at least a day and a half with moderate use.
I'm a big fan of Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist ROM. It has by far been the fastest and best on battery life for me.
I'm on the latest cm nightly. I use incrediblekernel with aggressive voltage. I have CPU set to 128 min and 664 Max. I could last all day plus with moderate to heavy usage.

Mcsense 2.2 with tinys 8/31 kernel with smartass. Rom looks great and fantastic battery. Personally, ill never use aosp on my phone again. Never had that "great" battery life others claim. I can overclock tinys to 1.113, minimum 245, and its very stable, very fast, and i get a good 12+ hours with HEAVY use. Thats on a stock day one battery. Ive got about as old a dinc you can get, been rooted longer than i can remember, and flashed atleast 3 to 4 times most weeks. Tryin out newts new runny rom now, dont know about battery yet on it. Good luck dude.

I'll second this. In-Sensitive Minimalist takes out almost all of the bloat of Sense, but leaves in the framework and the best apps. With Tiny's modules and SetCPU you can basically get it to run for days with minimal usage and 24-30 hrs with normal usage on a 1500mAH battery, which are $10 from Amazon.com and a good deal.
If you want to stick with Sense, that's the ROM to use. Otherwise, CM is a good choice.
