[Q] Which ROM.? SURFACE v8.01 or CYANOGENMOD 7

I am using Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am planning to change my stock ROM[GB 2.3.3] to either CyanogenMod 7 or SURFACE v8.01..??
Which one should I switch to..?? I need better battery life and performance than the stock ROM.

have you tried SAUROM
Hi
Since 2 yrs i am using different roms on my I9000 now I am using SAUROM rom i saw it's one best rom currently no fc's with many options you can try if you can link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388342

Hi,
I got my Galaxy S since one year now, and after the first month, I discovered the joy of installing roms ;-)
I tried many many roms (probably 80% of the roms here) and my impressions were :
I was very impressed by Surface (stability, battery, smoothness)
but it has been beaten by Cyanogen 7 because of many features brought by CM and making the rom very comfortable to use.
I stayed quite a long time with CM, then I restart trying mods (because I wanted to have a full GSII look, but no GSII looking roms was stable and smooth)
So before coming back to CM7, I decided to try MIUI as it seemed to be as popular as CM7, and I falled in love with MintBerry 5see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350763)
I am completely stuck with it, and does not even want to try ICS roms because I am VERY happy with it for MANY reasons : stability, speed, tons of features, incredible dozen of wonderful themes, and best of all, all updates of the rom/themes/kernels/... are managed with a tool included, so you will not need anymore to play with odin and flash yourself.
Don't rely on the screenshots of the thread, because they don't show the magnificent themes (wood, metal, neon, dark, paper, pencil drawing, ...)
Have fun with the roms anyway, because it is great
And to avoid to loose your apps and have to re-install all of them, I would warmly recommend you to invest in titanium backup pro, because with it, you can backup your data AND the app included, so as soon as you flashed your phone, just "restore all", and after 10 minutes, all your apps are back with all their data and nothing else to re-install ! A pleasure !

Try them both and take your pick. For CM7 I can highly recommend Insanity CM 057 from nitr8 (very light and fast). There is also (CM9) ICS S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v1.1 just released (based on Theamhacksungs Build 11 from Pawitp)
For the better battery life of the two, go with Samsung ROM's like the suggested S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v8.01 (based on Samsung's very latest XXJW1).
happy flashing!

CYANOGENMOD 7 works just fine

Well to decide its better if u try both i tried cm7 once it great and very fast and now I'm testing surface which is also great and until now it has a very good battery life you can check my video on surface

For better battery life,dont touch anything related to CM.I think this whole CM thing is hugely overrated.My experience of the CM roms are disappointing to say the least.
I tested so many roms,every time the stock rom with Galaxian kernel beats the custom eye candys.Either way the battery life on SGS is a joke.no matter what rom you are in.I always wondered why people testing the new phones phonedog etc.
are happy if the battery lasts a work day.Thats horrible.Maybe im just used to my 6 year old nokia with original battery can handle a week.With extensive call usage.

This is a question of choice, you cannot compare
If you prefer autonomy, go on with a normal phone, if you prefer features and apps, go on with the smartphones.
Tell to a 4x4 Mercedes user that you prefer your moped for the fuel consumption, same thing, this is not a correct comparison ;-)
Anyway, with normal phone usage, galaxian kernel and surface rom, my battery lasts 3 or 4 days, which I cannot do with stock rom.

only tried cm7 and miui, and i get about 20 hours batt life.
i remember using darky's (10.1 i think) which lasts about 3 days, couldn't say if i used my phone that much back then

Why don't you just flash them and make your own mind up?

I used darky 10.1 for ages and could get most of the week out of it with wifi on with the galaxy live wallpaper. I'm using Surface 1.1se at the moment. I tried Surface 1.2 - the base worked fine but the essentials pack broke my home button and lock screen.

For better battery life, go with Surface v8.03.

darky 10.2 re very good and jetpack v8.2 really good

[Q] JB vs ICS vs GB for battery life

Is there really any deference between android versions in battery life?
And in your opinion what is the best ROM for battery life at all (including GB)?

Well everyone uses their own phone accordingly. I currently use AOKP ROM. I do not have a data plan. If i use my phone only for calls or messages, i cant last thru 2-3 days. If i play games or whatever, then a single full charge only gets me through 1 day.
Battery Life is very dependant on how you use your phone so there really is not a best ROM for battery life

I meant that for the same usage which ROM (or android version) gives better battery life?

hmmm... I guess the you get best on CM7, which is Gingerbread.

I used lacoste 4.1.2 jellybean Rom . I have about 1-2 days on WiFi and average use . It can be considered as a battery saving Rom . Have not tested out other jellybean Rom yet besides that

Afaik, most battery friendly ROM is CM7 nightly #146 (GB ROM). Somebody recently posted download link for it. If you can't find it, download one of these, it will do the job. In general, avoid Sense ROMs if you need good battery life.

+1 for Gingerbread 3 days battery, over ICS 2 days with light use.
that's with tbklakes stock GB rom verses tbklakes stock ICS rom, if i oc, scraping 2 days lol.
Addy

GB 3 Days
ICS 2 Days
With normal use

i think the best battery life is for gingerbread.

Gingerbread? mmm
with my phone, I had a quite good feeling about Jeally bean.. if you use a lot of data/3G traffic, gingerbread is not the best

XXLSZ battery perfomance question

Hi everyone. I am trying to choose one of the new roms based on oficial xxlsz rom.
But for someone that just did it, the battery perfomance is better than in xxlsc? (i have this
right now) and i think that is the most important thing to do with JB in note.
Thanks in advance

in my opinion, lsc drain more battery power than lsz. i noticed after i change my rom from ultimate n7000 lsc into newest ultimate n7000 lsz.
i'm using my note from morning around 6am (100%) and when i had my lunch at 12pm, it still have 66% - 70% which more better than lsc, it will drop until 55%.
but it just my opinion.

The ROM I use is really good in all terms, For instance the battery drain is ~1% / H in idle state ( and comparatively much lesser with heavy use as well though it depends on individual's definition of "heavy use " . I suggest to wait 2-3 days with 2 manual full reboobs/day before doing an assessment.(Like note does wants to protect it's draining habit,but gives up finally to The SUper ROM)
I had Ultimate > Stock > Slim versions before this one , and this is going to stay I guess....(check my note signature for links).

My battery is over 6 months old and really does need replacing, as its life has really deteriorated since new, However after using Ultimate LSZ for about 2 days now, Im getting about 18-20hrs from my battery (with high usage)
ive used Ultimate ROMs for quite some time now, the last was LSC which I was on for several weeks and I did not manage to get close to 18hrs usage, So LSZ is definitely a big improvement.

Thanks for te replay
Ok, then i will try the new xxlsz. You mention Ultimate rom serveral times, is the rom for joosh3?
It´s maybe one of the best roms? what you recommend. I really searching a perfomance rom, not one so much pretty but fast
and battery friendly..
Thanks again!!

Try Sweet Rom !! Trust me ... You won't regret it

[Q] Battery life in custom roms?

Ok, i want to be quick.
I know there's no a best rom, or that one rom is better than the other, but when it comes to battery, there are few better roms..
So i have 2 questions for you guys.....
What custom rom for our ace has the best battery life?
Which rom, CM 10.1 (WAYLAND_ACE) JB 4.2.2 BETA 7 or AOSP ICS FINAL 4.0.4 MACLAW, has better battery life?
Thanks in advance....

Battery life still depends on what each person does with their phone so what one person may say wont be the same for the next. Your only asking about two roms so my suggestion would be to try them both and figure out which one gives you the best battery life for you own specific uses.]

G901F Best Battery Life Rom Discussion

I made this thread so that other users can discuss which is the best rom for G901F in terms of battery life.
It will save users the hassle of installing roms and then testing them for weeks to find out which is best.
So let the discussion begin!

Cynogenmod
I installed cynogenmod 12.1 where the battery life was not great, however then went back to cynogenmod 12 and battery life was much better. However after using the rom for a couple of months i have seen a steep decline in battery life even when phone is sleeping.
What is other users opinions on other roms?

Did you recalibrate the battery after updating to 12.1?

I use Simple GX Rom 1.4.1 with Kernel.
Battery life is very good. Nearly 0%/h in deep sleep.1-2% over night (9h)
I tried Nova 1.3 with stock kernel. Batterylife was a little bit lower than SimpleGX.
About 0,7%/h in deep sleep.
With Stock BOH4 Rom (Tmobile) i have lost 15-20% over night
