Hey guys, just wondering in your opinion which 2.2 rom is the best rom for battery life?
Depends on which kernel you have on it, and how you use your phone... this is something you need to test and find out for yourself.

Is all about the combination of Kernels and ROM's. Most of them are allright enough, but the Kernel is the dot over the 'i' for best juice.

My fave so far. Has a kernal you can download to help save battery life.
I'm loving the Kang-O-Rama for Froyo until CM6 is out. Battery life is crap though, maybe my battery ordered a new one from Google.

People can you recomend me a good froyo ROM? I would like it to have fair battery life, speed, stability, and good for day to day use. Give me what you think is best under these conditions thanks!

I would kinda like an answer to this question as well. I am going to be rooting my friends G1 and he would really like a 2.2 rom with good battery life. I am new to anything G1 so any help would be great. Note: I have experience rooting and installing custom rom's on my EVO. Thanks guys.
So far, BiffMod 2.0.1 has been the best Froyo ROM that I've tried out. It has stability, speed, and customization. There's like 5 themes to choose from, which I thought was cool. It also has all the unnecessary stuff taken out of it. I'd recommend trying it out.
Thanks for the suggestion Skate. I appreciate it. Ill have my friend try it out and see if he likes it.

is there a good guide for upgrading from CM 4.2 to Biffmod? I'm currently on radio 1.22.12.29, which seems to be a no-no in some guides I've seen around for any upgrade
sparksmod is good but its bad on battery life
tried searching around for cyanogen 4.2 biffmod 2.1 but all I get is a list of roms, is there a guide anybody knows of for doing the upgrade?
Been using this for awhile, never had any issues, decent battery life and has great speed. Search for [ROM][Beta][in-development] jMod 2.2/AOSP 2.2 - Android for the rest of us - 08/05/10 its no longer developed though.
@Wright. Make sure that you show your friend the ropes about flashing froyo. Running froyo isn't a easy task at all. I've tried all of them and they always end up with some issue. Try Biff for now its the most stable froyo rom to date.

If you want to complain about the battery life, then complain to pershoot and cyanogenmod, because they are the ones that make the kernels, not me.
Woah guys back off a little with the noob please!
Listen there are no froyo roms that will totally satisfy you no matter how much everyone tries they wont run that great

i disagree i am running biffmodV2.1 and it is fast as any eclair rom ive tried it has working camera and video recording i cannot find a flaw in this rom.
In my Opinion the best froyo roms are from the manufacturer for MT3G or HTC Magic, which are working on a G1 thx to ezterry

Yeah same here biffmodV2.1 is the ****, the only thing is that i might have to buy an extended battery since i only navigate with wifi, but when it is on idle it probably loses 1 percent in 5 hours.
i reccomend froyo by laszlo, froyo yoshi, biffmod and sparksmod
hi all, i have absolutely loved all the new 2.1/3.0 sense roms but due to the lack of a kernel that does not suck the battery life i have switched back to salvage aosp. with the incrediblek kernel and setcpu i get about 3 1/2 days out of the extended 3500mah battery! anyways, unfortunately there is no more development on this rom and it still sits on the old market. does anyone have an updated .apk i can install for the new android market?
thanks!

I easily get close to 2 days (2100mAh battery) on Newtoroot's Optimized shift 2.4. Just in case you want to give it a shot.
I've been running Fasty v2.0 for a while now and i'm looking to change to a new rom... but not sure what to go with CM7? newest Fasty, serendipity, firefly.. ect.. so many choices so little time i'm looking for something that will have good battery life, and something that doesn't lag a ton.. i know this is kinda a personal preference thing.. but what seems to be a popular rom?
Any suggestions would be great.. also how can i check my bootloader version?

I dont know of a way to check bootloader version. Some of the super developers around here might, but I don't.
Asking what would be a good rom to use is like asking a guy across the world what kind of ice cream you should buy. The only way to know for sure is to try them all.
Basic info on roms. Most I9000 ports have more tweaks and are higher in the dev (source drops for them before I897's) They also have better upload speeds on mobile network. I897 have Audience chip support. Any else past that would be my own opinion on both types.

Anything gingerbread based is going to have worse battery life than a Froyo based rom. This is because the source code is available for Froyo allowing for some system processes to be turned off. These processes continuously run in Gingerbread eating up battery. If I were you, I would try out Andromeda3. Its an I-9000 based rom with great support if you run into any problems. Not to mention a BLN control kernel with voodoo lagfix.
If you need good battery life, I would stay with an i9000 or I897 based rom. They are super stable for daily use.

Im having ALOT better battery on GB than what I ever had on Froyo roms.... Just saying.
I got better battery life on Continuum v6.1, kinda. On MIUI, get pretty good battery life. Big difference is on MIUI I leave background data on, whereas on Continuum I had it disabled.
Hi guys, I got this phone for free with bell mobility as my 2nd phone for my business line. I'm going to be using this phone only to make phone calls. No internet, ever. No wifi, maybe some bluetooth once in a while. No games, no apps. I have a Galaxy nexus for that.
Which rom would be the best for good battery life?
Thanks guys
Talking about the battery life and from personal experience,I would suggest using MIUI rom. The battery lasts for at least 2-3 days(for me) with normal use(wifi,music etc),so should go a far way if only used for calls.
Alternatively, if you prefer Sense UI,I've heard good things about the battery life of Android Revolution HD.
Finally,it's always best to just test several roms yourself in real life situations for several days,and then picking the rom which suits you best.
after playing with it a bit I'm not a big fan of sense...
I'll give miui a try, thanks

+ 1 use tiamat uv to - 50 all values
+1 for miui. might just be in my head, but seems to be even more battery efficient than cm7.

What version of MIUI do you use? There are so many I was going to wait for the updated galnetmiui ics one.
I would take the CM7 Nightly#146 and edit the .zip file and remove all the .apk files from system/app that you don't need.
That will give you a very light ROM.
Hey guys,
I don't have an overview anymore about all these custom ROMs out there for the n7000.
I'm looking for a stable, "basic" ROM with the latest Android, espically one with a good battery life.
Hope you can help me.

Battery life all sorta depends on how often you use your device and the things you do with it. With all the roms i used i never had a rom on my device that had a noticeble extended batterylife.
However you could underclock your cpu and try to find that line where your device still performs good enough.
Anyhow turning off wifi when you dont use it really makes a difference.
Id start with cyanogenmod 10.1 if you want to run android 4.2.
Or beerbongs build of Paranoid Android, if you can forget the battery thing and just want an aosp rom with some awesome features (check threat in original android development)

Yeah battery life largely depends on how you use your phone..
But I can tell you, I've personally found improvement upon flashing Ultimate ROM (first flash only, second time it was very bad actually) and I see many positive feedback regarding battery life on BurtROM.
