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

Best ROM for battery life

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
Enviado desde mi HTC Desire HD

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.
Sent from my Cyanogenmod 7 phone.

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

MikG - Sense 2.1 3.0 v2.60

I tried to post on his thread but don't have 10 posts. Just wanted to say thanks and that this ROM is amazing. Very fast, awesome battery life and no issues yet.
More Freedom v0.9 kernel
SetCPU running at max 1113600 - min 245000, scaling on "smartass" and no profiles.
Over 40 hours on Ebay 3,500 mAh battery, light usage but 3G, GPS and WIFI on as well as a live wallpaper.
Waiting on a new HDMI cord to play with full mirroring and downloaded tasker but need to read some tutorials.

A few more from today with moderate to heavy usage. GPS, WIFI and 3G on and about 45 minutes of navigation and 6 hours of Audiogalaxy. And I also forgot to switch SetCPU back to "smartass" from "performance" so I was running at 1113600 all day.

Yea,mikg is a great rom,i was getting great benchmarks and battery life is ok,im on TN Xplod right now,which is also a great rom,now xplod has great battery life.

I'm using mikeg as well. Good rom, just wondering what the best/most stable kernel is for it. This is my wife's phone, so rather not have it mess up on her out in the wild.

She should do just fine with the stock HTC kernel that comes with the rom. It is the most stable and has good battery life.

[Q] How to tweak rom/kernel for best batery life

Hello, i'm using typhoon latest rom with latest kernel from dorimanx (7.1A), but im gonna go on vacations and i really need my phone to last as long as possible, is there any way to tweak rom or kernel for better batery life? thanks

What sort of battery drain do you currently get on standby? Can you tell me the reading in ma from CurrentWidget? If it's 3-5 ma with mobile network/wifi/bluetooth etc on and 2ma in airplane mode then you're fine,but if it's higher it can definitely be improved.

If you don't plan to use mobile internet connection then disable 3G and turn 2G mode only. Turn off as many widgets as you only can, disable Location Service and auto sync. Install apps on phone memory only.
Also Dorimanx kernel is a hell of battery drainer, use another one like stable Tytungs etc.
Use dynamic/powersave CPU governors or use CPU speed profile apps like SetCPU and make several profiles for it.
This is only a few of tips we can give here.

im getting between 10 to 15 ma with 2g on and sync all the rest is off, and im using smartassv2 governator i dont know if this can be improved .. and i really like dorimanx kernel becouse it feels faster then tytung and it gets less hotter becouse right now is really hot these days and i nearly cant use the phone with tytung kernel becouse it gets crazy hot :O

Well the apps I use to reduce my battery drain are JuiceDefender and SetCPU. Set the profiles to be 245-576 Mhz when screen is off (smartassv2) and whatever else you like when screen is on. I never had any overheating problem with Tytung's kernel though. It was the most stable and just as fast as Dorimanx's kernel IMO. Still, using ICS now so I can't really judge about the newest versions of each of them.

I think his kernel is the same in battery drain over any of them. Ive tried them all. If anything, seader_r9 was the best and it was only a small improvement. My battery life is pretty short, but im a HEAVY user. Constant web browsing, constant text messaging contant GPS. And it lasts for the majority of the day. Now i have an .sh script which helps tweak the smartassV2 settings. I get about 110-200ma drain when doing simple web browsing or replying to a text.
One must also keep in mind that the ROM has a major part in battery drain as well. I heard from many users on here that MIUI has the best battery life. All in all i think any kernel you choose will have reletively (i spelled that wrong -.- its still early ) the same battery drain. It really comes down to the amount of use your phone has. But as stated before, turning off data greatly saves the battery as does turning down the screen brightness, fyi, automatic brightness sucks battery life too. Plus android does a horrible job polling the light sensor -.- it shouldnt take an average of 3 seconds to get the changed light value..
Theres not much 'tweaking' you can do to give you like an hour extra of battery life. Our batteries are only 1350mah batteries and thats really small for such a huge screen. My Touch Pro 2 has a 1500 and a much smaller screen. There are a lot of good aftermarket batteries on ebay that you could get which would extend your running time.

thanks guys, im gonna give a shot to tytung kernel, but im also gonna take a look to the aftermarket baterys

Typhoon rom support undervolt so if your phone is gettin' hot I suggest you to tweak the voltages as explained to original thread first page, it makes a big difference compared to stock.

Good advice here. There's a lot you can do (as already advised) but always some performance tradeoffs. The standard HD2 battery is only 1230 mA... not 1350. Smartassv2 in DM's kernels is excellent for performance and settles down nicely in standby - but it will pull-on your battery when used. There's no substitute for keeping a few extra charged batteries around (when you need them), along with AC & DC chargers + cable, in a small carrying case.

You don't need to use dorimanx's latest kernels, his stable kernels in fact do a better job at not overheating and have only 2ma drain on standby. I know 5.9, 6.3, 6.4d, and 6.9A (ics hwa) give a great battery life.

Wow, in standby im on average around 7-3mA with the occational spikes when receiving texts or messages over wifi. And when on data its about the same, just not as often in the 3ma range.

Which apps are running in the background? People constantly say that task killers make no difference yet whenever I've opened something and haven't killed it I get a higher battery drain than normal.
Also, use JuiceDefender and SetCPU to lower the drain.

HELP!!! battery drains TOOO fast!

Hello!

I think you should buy a new one. Search in ebay for HB4F1 (battery model for our phone) for example this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1500mAh-...819?pt=Batteries_Chargers&hash=item3a74b39ae3

Performance and life based on GB is CM 7.2 (ezet) and based on ICS is Aurora v5 (dzo).
I'm on Aurora (v5+u21) and is very good ROM very stable for daily use: wifi is good, BT is working fine and sync right and camera is ok but is nothing to do with rom it's just hardware less capable and video recording is awesome 720p here without lagging or freezing.
