I know a lot of people have asked questions like which is the fastest rom? Who makes the fastest rom? etc... But what I'd like to find out is:
What do you mainly use your phone for? (EX: Work, Multimedia, etc..)
What radio works best in your area and what area you're in
Which rom do you find the fastest to suit your needs and your apps?
How does your use affect the battery? Is it dead in a couple hours? Or does it last a day?
What is your Threshold Pressure do you use? (For TouchFlo)
Do you prefer a port of a different device or a rom based off of the original kaiser roms?
Just a few questions. And if some people would please take the time to answer them.
Kraize
I'll go first.
I use my phone mostly for multimedia and school work
NIKI 1.58.25.17 and Stockton, California
I find Gullum's rom to be the fastest because I use ThrottleLauncher a lot.
The battery is mostly like on all other roms I've used. Will die in 4-6 hours if I let Wi-Fi or GPS run constantly. But it lasts a good day with a lot of calls, texting all day, and typing on it for long periods of time.
My Pressure for the Threshold is 400 (Default on Gullum's rom)
I actually prefer a port since HTC has been slacking on Kaisers lately =/
wrong forum
This should be in the Kaiser General forum, as it has nothing to do with rom development. There are plenty of these threads already, IMO, but if you MUST create a new one, please, please, please do it in the right place.
Lol my bad. I just noticed I posted it in the ROM developement >.<
let me just say this.
garmins final exceeded all expectations and is by far the best rom that i have ever used.
my current fave is romeos v4.1 w/ 1.58.xx radio for battery life. 1.65.xx is good as well.
i really liked Rottohammer's rom, but switched over to AkaDonny's because of the stability of no 10 second time-out back lighting.
tvos
What do you mainly use your phone for? (EX: Work, Multimedia, etc..)
study, have fun and general phone usage
What radio works best in your area and what area you're in
1.58.xx.xx works well, but 1.65.24.36 also works especially the gps signal is amazing. I am in Atlantic Canada.
Which rom do you find the fastest to suit your needs and your apps?
I should say ROMeos v4 but I return to v3.5 coz the vjtoggletoday won't work with v4. I am highly expecting v4.1.
How does your use affect the battery? Is it dead in a couple hours? Or does it last a day?
Battery consumption is a serious issue associated with new radios. But I guess the battery lasts one day based on my usage.
Do you prefer a port of a different device or a rom based off of the original kaiser roms?
a rom based on the original kaiser rom but combines some good features from ported roms.
Oh, where in Atlantic Canada my friend? Im in Saint John.
@dufferin
i am in Halifax NS, lol
the rom in my signature with this radio version is tha best rom ever between 6.1wm roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
After flashing 20+ different roms, Garmin DK1 Final has landed as permanent resident for my phone, with recommended 1.65.24.36 radio (this radio is amazing battery and gps performance wise) Battery lasts a solid 2 days of normal use and light internet browsing and aim chatting. (screen brightness set to lowest at all times)
Not much lag when flipping screen orientation, compared to my friend's stock at&t 6.0 rom which takes 3 times longer to flip despite registry and other tweaks.
I'm in Texas w/ TMobile service.
Okay thanks everyone I'll try Garmin and Hyper's roms. I currently use Gullum's and ThrottleLauncher flies like it's on crack with the D3D drivers.
Kraize
I am thinking of using a new rom, I haven't updated mine for about half a year or so and was wondering what you found worked best for you
I have been a big fan of Dutty's hybrid WM6.1 ROMs, but I have recently flashed to a few of Garmin's ROMs and I must say I am really liking his new DK.4.1 ROM.

Hi all,
Well after much deliberation and hard choices I decided to go for the T-Mobile Compact IV due to being the best deal. I am returning to WM after 18 months ditching my 02 XDA mini s
I have been scouring these forums for weeks now to see what I can do right away to my new phone...
I want to obviously get rid of the Tmobile branded touch flo 3d..
Can you please report what best SPL's, Radios and ROM's are best for this particular device (i understand some radios work better for different carries, so obviously would like to know from experience who has best performance for tmobile).
I have searched and searched the forums, and with it being a MDA compact the answers are less definative for whats best and I just want to make sure.
I am aware of mikes thread with the compact he got for his gf but would like info in addition to this.
Would you reccomend me opening up the box and then just wiping the phone right away without using the tmobile version
Thanks for your help
Granty
I have had a UK T-Mobile MDA IV for about a week now.
I used the SwiftBL 7.5 ROM with no difficulties. Upgraded the same day as I got the phone after it had charged a bit - the T-Mobile ROM really didn't have much going for it. Didn't try the other ROMs though. No problems installing the hard SPL (jockyw2001's HardSPL 1.24), it just worked. I did briefly consider sticking with the T-Mobile ROM with a bit of debranding, but it really is awful and I don't regret upgrading now!
Upgraded the radio to v1.00.25.05 as recommended in the SwiftBL thread and it worked well. Later upgraded radio to v1.00.25.BS14 and I think it works better, but that's a bit subjective - I haven't been running benchmarks and formal tests! Pretty easy to downgrade if you have to though.
I think "what's best" is pretty subjective. From the few days I've been in this forum it seems SwiftBL is like a slightly tweaked HTC ROM with some useful tools on it, and Dutty's is more of a hardcore tweaked ROM built for speed, but I might be wrong on that
all i can reccomend is Dutty's lite (+, of course, all what you prefer, all tweaks and other "must have")
radio? .05, .07, .08, .14 - it depends on many factors (country, city, operator etc) so we cannot surely say "this radio is THE BEST!
one is as sure as ****: debranding is necessity, radio rom .03 is the worst, T-Mobile ROM is also one piece of ****
Thanks for both of your replies. I have downloaded SwiftBL 7.5 while I was waiting for response, seemed one to go for. Download HardSPL - Diamond - Olinex- Hope thats the one to go for and also downloaded the radio .08 and BS14, will probs bang BS14 on and give that a go. Will let ya know my experiences tomorrow!

I too have had my mdac4 for a week or so. I tried the Swift rom and it was great to start with but then I lost all sound, although I did install other stuff afterwards which may have been to blame too. I ended up installing the paonosha rom and it has been very good so far, very quick and no gps lag
I'm using 08 radio
Well its here, TMobiles ROM is awful. If i didnt know about this site i'd have sent it back right away, so slow and unresponsive.
Gutted mobile.co.uk announced xperia today but oh well what can you do?
At least I got a decent deal on mine on a 12 month contract I suppose as opposed to an 18 month
I wouldn't go with the xperia even if the price is the same as diamond, touch pro would be the more reasonable choice to go.
had my MDA C4 for just over a month now and i can say a few things:
* I'm using Dutty's rom which is nice and stable and has all the default apps i need. Do not stay on the stock rom unless you have a death wish
* In terms of radio's, i'm on .08 at the moment but i'm just about to switch back as i can't seem to get a GPS lock on and i need it for TomTom. I was on .05 radio before and this was working perfect, and the battery life was also around the same as this .08
* If you have a later ROM version than 1.37 then please try and make a backup, i haven't come across any so far and it would be nice to have one if i have to revert back at some point!
* Play around. There is most likely going to be more than one ROM that will suit your needs, so it's all about what you really want from it down to the skins they have tbh. Most of the ROM's at the moment seem to have pretty much the same speeds and tweaks, and the only difference being that they customize it (whether it be custom manilla icons, start menu, etc).
That's my two cents

As someone who is in a very similar position to Addictedddd, I echo his words of playing around.
I agree that most ROMs are similar with respect to tweaks, etc. Personally, I'm using Version 7.0 of SwiftBLs ROM. I know that this is not the latest (I think I posted somewhere recently that "newest is not necessarily the best") but it's the one that I most prefer - The one that feels right, if you like..
I've tried countless others but I always keep coming back to version 7.0..
I'm also running the 1.00.25.BS14 Radio on mine. Again, the 05 seemed OK, the 08 didn't change much but I pesonally noted a slight increase in signal with the BS14 so I stuck with it.
You need to play around with the Diamond and experiment with different programs and ROMs. Only this way will you find out what is best for you.
Finally, Don't forget to read. The Wiki has a great introduction for flashing. I've added a link below:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
Read it - I'd hate to see a post from you tomorrow saying "Help - I've Bricked it!!"
Take care and happy experimenting..
Right oh my findings..
Tmobile ROM...super slow, would have gone back if I didnt know how to change.
After much confusion of the guide saying there was a 1.40 SPL that wasnt developers I found out it was actually 1.30....
I tried installing BS14 radio with 1.30 but kept erroring at 0% (i wasnt even sure the SPL was installed right as it only took literally a second to update, even though bootloader confirmed it)
So after reading a few more peoples reports I went to HardSPL 1.40 developers (just make sure I don't do any dodgey roms) and installed the BS14 radio no problem, again the SPL updated quick taking only a second, then about a minute for the radio.
Installed swiftblade 7.5 which installed very quickly too, about 2 or 3 minutes, so much quicker than the Tmobile ROM.
Not sure how GPS lock is, havent got any sat nav software on, tried google maps which was instant but I take it that is using A-GPS.
Signal strength is not very good, 1 bar, might be my area, all other phones around here have full signal though so may just be tmobile. Will trial it for a bit but if it causes problems try 08 or 05.
I too have had my Compact IV for about a month now, also returning to WM after a stint with a Nokia N95 8Gb (Glad to be back!!). I did manage to refrain from flashing the ROM until today. I didn't have any problems with the T-Mobile ROM but have been reading the forums here and at Modaco and was interested to see if there really was that much of an improvement to be had. I have gone with TLR's Diamond ROM 3 and all i can say is wow!!, its only been a few hours so far but the entire phone is much slicker and quicker, there really is a big difference. I really must say thanks to Jockyw2001 and TheLoanRanger for their excellent work, and to everyone at XDA Developers and Modaco for sharing their experiences. I may well go on to try a few other ROM's but for now im glad to have taken the first step.
Hi guys.
Have read many mixed reviews about this but was hoping a couple of you here would be able to confrm it.
As we know the battery life on the diamond aint that great, but I have read many mixed thoughts that a rom upgrade would improve the battery life. Is this true?
If so any recommendations on nice rom from the rom section we have on here?
I am currently running the original orange uk rom.
Many thanks, look forward to you replies.
My guess is that the changes are marginal at best, so save yourself from the trouble and order this, http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=166204
Its not marginal. It got me about 1 extra day of usage before i'd have to charge. I changed from original rom to Dutty's cooked rom.
There is also other benefits to changing roms, most important benefit would be speed. The cooked roms usually run faster and more smoother than the original roms.
Thanx guys, I will take a look at duttys.
Will the official upgrade from the htc site be any good?

Nope. Hmmm cooked firmwares generally remove some things which are not used EVER. Also it will clean up the software being ran on the background. And a few tweeks will be made to WM to make it run faster. ie. page memory, etc.
I think its the radio update that makes the most difference. I seem to get better battery life since 'upgrading' to 1.00.25.05 (upgrading is in quotes since my original version was actually higher than that). But then again i also upgraded to a cooked rom (AZTOR X2) so i got a double hit... Certainly very pleased with the extra speed and battery life!
the radio update is totally true. Ive read certain posts where people are getting atleast 3x longer battery using a different Radio.
Such as on one radio it will use about 8% overnight, where as on another radio within about the same duration overnight it will only use 2-3%.
would anyone be able to give me links to these roms and radio's. also a guide would be really handy
thanks
Jon
I'm interested of the rom that make battery life 3x longer...i'm actually using .16(BS), but i don't know if this one is the best.
1.This thread is constantly updated,you may bookmark it.
(Last updated:2010-8-1 )
2.pls note that unless otherwise stated,the roms mentioned here are for GSM tp2 devices,not for CDMA.
The topic which roms are best will certainly bring a epic war in xda,I tried many roms,I have to say indeed there is no such thing as best rom,people look at different things in a rom,for example,I found a rom very stable and perfect,but it doesnt work properly with G-profile,then this rom is not working for me;
Or,maybe another guy finds a very good rom that everybody recommend,but it has problem with weather update,so for him this rom is bad because he cannot live without weather.
But I can tell the least battery drains roms in general are:

I am using Athine xTreme. It is great for battery life and is super stable.
EnergySense 2.1 ROM (details on my sig)
Battery life it´s ok
been using the latest cell pro 13.5 and been impressed wh the battery so far with the latest radio
I have been using a custom rom build with Calkulin's Kitchen updated to 21895 for about a week and i can get almost 48 hours on with mild usage and mail sync to every 30min.
I've been trying a few of the Energy ROMs, which I like a lot, but the battery drain is horrible. The best battery management seems to be on the stock T-Mobile 6.5 ROM for me. But I don't like the ROM layout. Guess I'll be trying a few of these suggestions. Thanx for the post O.P.
I have tried too many custom ROM, as you said most of them are draining the battery.
But I have recently flashed Cell Pro V 13.5 with Radio 4.49.25.91 and I can say;
best battery life so far and stable.
I'm testing AthineOS S2 Xtreme with Radio 4.49.25.91 so far so stable and battery life is good.
also here:
energy roms draining fast, cell and deepshining not.
athines also not.
testet many others but cant remember them exactly.

deepshining is definitely classic,however it seems to have a minor problem with G-profile,otherwise it's perfect.
DeepShining wonderfull battery life.
I've been experimenting with the Energy Series ROMs and so far I like the following one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773 build 23549 March 20, I dont use data on my phone, just the WiFi, so I disabled all the tabs that require data (weather, stocks, and so on). I usually text, play music, talk, and use WiFi a lot. So far the battery lasted me over 48 hours, and is still at 32%
I'm using the ATT e2 Rom and it is by far the best battery life I've seen. I went so as to loading a new battery app because I thought mine was broken.
Valkrie 5.8_240001Leo is a wonderful Rom with great speed & battery life. My battery lasts all day with heavy usage.
well that settles it then -I think we've mentioned every rom out there
LoL to post above me
In my experience, no matter the ROM, current radio of 4.49.25.91 really sucks my battery dry and high...
Anyway, actually i'm looking for a "lean" WM6.5.5 WWE ROM, max with Titanium only (no Sense 2.5) so more free RAM, no HTC Messaging (using only standard messaging interface), minimal HD2 ported XIPs (avoiding screen and dialer glitches), optimized PagePool to minimized RAM leakage
But no Chef has made one yet, or... is there already...?

you should try the .77 radio. for me it's noticably better for both signal and battery life.
after doing some much reading and the recommendation of this particular topic on battery drain..i went with the Cell Pro v10.1 for my first ROM flash for my HTC Tilt 2. I've been playing with it for a week now and after doin some registry tweaks here and there..bootup animation, startup sound, and basic tweaks...i have it the way i like it. i have data/battery draining tabs off...stock, music, push internet, and weather. email pulled every 30 mins, i do heavy txting, basic internet surfing, and calls here and there. battery usually lasts reasonable amount. better than the iphone 3g i used to own, but not as good as the blackberry curve 8900.
love the interface and all of Sense 2.1, but would love new Sense 2.5's SMS interface and the better customization of the slider along with the Facebook Tab. but i've been spending the whole day reading up on other ROMs, the complaints, and pros and cons of the Sense 2.5 including the new HTC official release for Touch Pro 2. lots of bugs and complaints apparently..most slow and laggy and battery consumption is even worse since it's graphic UI intensive. and the top worse...Sleep of Death issues.
anyone have ANY good experience with Sense 2.5 ROMS..hopefully the official HTC release of it??

Hi,thanks for recommendation,I am downloading eras2r's rom,hopefully it's as good as you say,then we will recommend to others.
Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
the clean rom ist the best and the fastest rom on xda.
the top version is better than the bottom version.
==> try clean rom top version 1
http://www.multiupload.com/IK64V7SC7D
BlackNew V
I really like BlackNew ROMs. I tried Energy ROMs, both on my Diamond and current Blackstone. They are pretty and full of apps, but slows down the machine a lot. And for speed and functionality is top priority
With BlackNew ROMs you get speed and some usefull apps
are the mods on holiday? they normally close these threads because they can be so contentious
Yep cant be long before the padlock cometh...We're not allowed to have a discussion about who likes which rom & why on here You've got to spend hours and hours, days and days trying them all yourself and going with the one you like, but remember not to post to tell anyone..

The mods will soon type something into this thread along with this line: "thread closed"
Maybe the Mods have realized that you can't close down these types of questions, hence another one will always pop up! These forums by nature produce these comparisons, so in effect they are the root cause. Can you condemn something that you are responsible for?
I love Energy Roms...I always come back to these. They just are "eye candy", and have all the features and personalization ideas that I love...but they are really designed for the HD2 which makes them "fat" on our HD units...Eg... they are 220+ MB for a ROM footprint compared to 168MB for a KWBR rom footprint. Hence the downside to me is they are generally more sluggish COMPARED to others...but they get faster as NRG keeps cooking.
KWBR's rom is quicker, but would love to see some eye candy enhancements.
Miniterror's roms are awesome...but would love to see CHT back in.
Have not tried many of the others as these guys keep producing too much quality to send me elsewhere..
I tried Kenia's BLack V, and that was awesome!! But just could not got back to the 6.1 OS...but he did a super job blending new age enhancements with the stability and speed of the older systems.
Thanks cooks

J
I don't see the problem with other people's opinion it's like feed back in one place instead of going through each thread on the ROM have one thread with feed back for all the ROM's in one place. Just an idea..
the reason why they get closed is that everybody has a different look of how a rom should lok like and what should be included in the rom
as it are opinions there cant be decided whats the best rom
also benchmarking wont be the answer as i have read that you can set some thing that the rom becomes verry slow but benchmark scores mega high that it should be the best rom
so for me the best rom is my own
i like the colors that are in and the programs and the fact its dutch
some others could like nrg rom more as they like those colors or the startmenu at the bottom builds
it all comes down to you what you want
maybe on a side note somebody can make a spreadsheet off the roms out here with the functions the roms have like startmenu at the bottom or on top
colors or default look and stuff like that
best ..
.. is your own ROM ..
My best: Blackdragon 3 Final
I tried them all, but with a windows phone speed and stability should be top priority. You can always customise your phone to your requirements. So I vote for blackdragon by Andy, as my best rom; mainly becasue of its incredible speed and stability.
I've tried most ROMs and became a bit of an NRG fan but I think there are too many changes for me to keep up with these days. It's great to try many ROMs and see what nice toys there are and also which areas of stability you need.
Been using G10's Evo v6.00 (24001) 30.06.10 for a couple of weeks and have to say I love it. Battery and connection (UK) as well as GPS for TomTom is great so I'm sticking with this for a bit.
I'm sure some great new feature or app will tempt me to try something else in the future though.
Just flash a couple a week until you get bored (by then you'll know exactly what you want) would be my best advice
Hi there,
I my opinion these are the best 3 options:
1: [ROM][WWE][10-Jul-10] Cloudy 0.4 (WM6.1)
It's one of the fastest roms on this forum but has all the features you want. It's no "clean"rom or anything like that. I see this rom as one of the "jewels" around here. I did not detect 1 bug or glitch or anything like that while using this rom for a week now.
2: Try KWBR's rom. I am a big fan of his work and his roms are usually the most stable and also very fast.
3: Go with a wm6.5 titanium rom and if you like buy spb mobile shell and customize it the way you want. I belive ram usages will go up to around 50% while using spb so you are probably not as fast as option 1 or 2.
Good hunting!
i would say again there is no such thing best rom...
read the sticky dude...
every chef has different goal on their rom release
exp
- want clean roms for fast performance ( i prefer clean rom ... )
- want stable rom less bug ( for stable i prefer stock rom )
- want best look for lastest rom release ( WM 6.5 com 5 built )
I think jude1993 just wanted people's opinion to what they liked or disliked about the ROM's. I am intrested aswell. What is the best ROM is the wrong title for this thread though, Maybe it should say your opinion of the ROM's. Just an idea
I've tried loads of different roms too....Gets very tedious Loading all your programs n contacts n messages etc..
This weekend I've tried most of NRG's latest offerings, but dear god they are slow. For me anyway I use my phone for work, not to look trendy, but to run fast, stable & smooth.
I've come from Onkologs stable of roms, so its been tricky to find a modern comparison...And I much prefer 6.5 to 6.1, but not the latest bottom button builds.
For me the fastest most stable clean rom I have come across and go back to each and every time is....
Energy.BLACKSTONE.21895.Titanium.Mar.17
Needs a bit of tweaking here n there but have not found anything to touch it for speed/fluidity/stability.
Just my opinion
Mick
this is very interesting
as i've been trying out WWE 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5sth(at least 30+ times of flashing)...i'd say i eventually chose WWE 6.1 Lite Rom. The reason why to my choice is more speed, more rom capacity, and ram usage. Well, actually most cookers here did very good job as theirs roms are stable, compatiable and fast in general, appreciated! Without considering eye candy interface, WWE 6.1 is the most fastest rom compare to WWE 6.5 or up...
All in all, there's always sth i think which hardly get solved is language patch problem. Ok say like i am chinese, hk...my rom is WWE 6.1, i'd spent some certain time trying out chinese patch which i needed to read and write chinese...some cabs installed that could read and write in chinese but then while some app running that easy to get device "hang", some apps couldn't display chinese characters properly...this is i what found so far an unresolved issue...would you agree...?
thanks
cheerz
over the past 3 days i have flashed about 5 roms Im currently trying miniterror ,but i find my self wanting to go back to the energy roms more for the eye candy
before it used to be duttys roms but now im neither here or there.
But always gravitating towards Energy the Maryone roms I have tried so many times and they always feel too slow and sluggish ...

try CLoudy 2.2 COM5 or COM2... for me, this is the best ROM ever had. no issues with this ROM. retain more stock ROM... not very much added application or programmes for optimal speed
okay if there is no best rom ,, i need the fastest rom with out bugs ???
can i get this
I am getting a little tired of the energy roms and Jackos roms draining the battery....i'm not looking for a fix, I want to know if a chef will cook up a rom that is similar to Chadsters e2 roms. I want something stable and very close to stock with task manager, youtube, google maps, etc. I'm really wanting this type of rom but all similar roms have been deleted. Thank You to anyone that helps out.
Try WCX 21916 w/Arcsoft. It's what you are searching for.
I want the htc messaging, idk why, I just really like it. I want it close to the stock 2.10 version with all the goodies.
Hi redwolf... The WC roms do have an HTC messaging version. They all work great, I'm a fan. Definately give one a go. You just need to decide 219XX (classic buttons) or 23XXX (bottom buttons). Both have HTC Messaging options. All the WC roms are fast, and have very good battery life.
Jackos rom drains your battery? Maybe your battery is bad my battery lasts like 2 days with Jackos rom
Battery Drain
No, I have two batteries. One was the original that was fine and another I got from a warranty exchange. I used Chadsters roms for a long time and had to switch to energy and/or Jackos, and my battery last at a max of about 11 hours. With chadsters, it would go for like 3 days without dying. Thank you for the advice and I will give the WC roms a try. Again, Thanks!!
Go try WC's roms. I've tried lots of stuff and I think they are the best for stabilty and speed. Don't expect bling, but expect a stock-like ROM that is better in every way. See my signature.
(and btw, there is an HTC messaging version)
Edit:
Sry, looks like from your last post that you are already on your way to trying a WC rom...
People seriously get days out of their batteries on these phones? I have two 2400 mh batteries that I swap in the morning and afternoon....it's not rom specific because I did the same thing with the stock rom...I figure it's a device usage issue...I use the thing a lot more than other people, I suppose....but really??....days out of their batteries?
Btw...I dont claim to know much, but I run an energy rom and it hasnt seemed to have drained my battery any more than the stock ATT rom I had..if it does, it hasnt been at a noticeable level...I really had no idea a battery could last days on these phones...I used to love my 8525 with the 3500 mh battery,,,that lasted days...I wish I could have gotten one for this device but alas, no correct battery doors available ...stupid PTT button...lol
My testers have all different kinds of usage with their phones...one uses 3g and wifi on constantly, others use 3g and sync emails every 5 minutes for work...so the testing has been very thorough in this aspect....

Mr WC...I have zero doubt regarding your ROMs testing...tried and proven ..I also know your testers use their devices differently, we all do...I was just amazed that people can get days out of their batteries on these devices, and my thinking was that they'd simply not use the thing to achieve that, lol...regarding your ROMS and testers....I would never question that...you do thorough work and your testers do thorough testing
Wasnt implying anything, was just stating procedure we go through is ll...

If you want a specifics scenario with WCX 28148 Sense 2021 build :
I use a RHOD100 with 4.49.25.17 radio, with HSDPA enabled, dynamic screen backlight, 2 minutes turn off device, 10 minutes OTA Active sync, Opera backgrounded, Twitter and Weather updated hourly, and I reach 2 days after 2 full battery cycles after HR.
Note that radio's choice has a real impact on autonomy. .91 and .95 sucks around 30% more battery with the very same scenario.
Now, your autonomy will vary with your area coverage when you call. I phone at least 30 minutes a day, sometimes more, rarely less.
Hmm....I've never changed the radio from the original AT&T ROM...I've wondered if I should in the past but being new and stupid, I just figured that since I've never had signal issues and what not, I'd just keep the one I have (not to mention I don't know how to flash a new one...lol)...the one I have now is 4.48.25.20...
btw, I like hearing other's usage stats, I take and make a ton of calls...I remember my 900 minute monthly plan from years ago...and the 1400 dollar bill I got in a month for going over my plan limit...lmao, I forget how many hours of calls I had...but who wouldn't when the 1400 dollar number hits?
