[Q] best kernel for battery life

yes, i searched the forum... but there doesnt seem to have been any info on this since may, and it wasnt for cm6. there are other device specific threads on cm6, but what about for our n1s?
so, whats the best kernel for cm6 on nexus one in terms of battery life?

Try Enom's ROM, or the MIUI ROM

That doesn't help him. He wants cm kernels, its obvious that is what he is looking for.

When on CM6, I've tried wildmonk's and pershoot's. Several versions of both. And hey, none of them really made a difference, though I think one of pershoot's was a bit more helpful. CM6 drains battery like a blackhole, so yeah, have a charger handy at all times.

Thanks for the replies. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something obvious for cm6. I'm running wildmonks and underclock to 128 when idle. Batt life is better than stock...but just checking.

Moving from Cognition 2.3b7... Suggestions?

2.3b7 was my first non-stock "adventure". It went well and I've been pleased with the rom and phone. Now it's time to freshen things up. Any suggestions, pros/cons of other roms I should consider? Thanks for your insight and help!

I'm sorry... I assumed (which is never smart) that this would be the correct forum. Would the correct forum be Captivate-General?
Thanks

You should just read through all of the Roms on the first page or two of the Dev section. Look at which ones have the most posts/replies under them and check them out. Evaluate the features list and browse through some of the more recent comments pertaining to them to get a feel of how well each one works and what they provide. Ultimately, which rom to use is entirely dependent on what you're hoping to get out of it.
What do you want it to do/not do?
Why are you looking to move away from Cog?
They all have their own ups and downs, it all depends on what's right for you.
I'm running Cog 2.3b6, myself, and thinking of upgrading to Cog 3.03. For what it's worth.

I used to use cog as well. I decided to change roms due to what I perceived as a rom problem, only to find out that it was more and likely a modem problem. I had really poor call quality and overall signal degradation.
I decided on the now no longer supported assonance and albeit all the "bells & whistles" of the newer roms, I do not have any interest on flashing a new rom. I have since flashed the speedmod kernel, which drastically helped with my battery issues and will flash a diff modem.

Went through a number of ROMs and settled on FireFly with SpeedMod kernel. Smooth, fast (no overclocking), good battery life, GPS fixes, haven't run into any FCs in over a week now... just a very solid performing ROM.

I would recommend serendipity but phoenix looks like the next best (never tried it though)

I'm not necessarily looking to move away from Cog... just wondering if there were any "runaway winners" that I should consider also. From the posts so far it sounds like there may be several worth considering.
What I'm basically looking for is an overall combination of speed (without overclocking), stability, functionality, and battery without any of the factors being stressed/tweaked to the extent that it significantly hurts any of the other factors (i.e., I don't want extreme speed if it means an unacceptable hit on stability or reduction in battery life, etc.)

[Q] best rom for only phone usage

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

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.

There is no best ROM. It solely depends on your preference.
Cassie's XtraLiteRom was the 1st ROM I flashed with. But it removed too many features which I deemed essential.
Then I flashed to DarkyNote ROM. But I encountered too many bugs.
Finally, I flashed Sheep ROM, and have been using it ever since for 2 weeks.
No bugs as of yet. I like its balance of pure stock and optimizations/tweaks.

i started off with darkrom, had it for 2 days, but it was a bit buggy..
then i moved on to rocket, which was pretty good, except it drained the batt faster than stock :S
i'm now on checkrom, i've had it for a week, and i couldn't be more satisfied.. great battery life, i've gotten up to 40hrs on above moderate usage, good performance, and the kitchen pro app that it comes with is amazing.

I also settled on checkrom for the battery life and stability.

Again you're right.
But in this way ppl can save time, making an idea of pro/cons of some ROM.
Do you never look at the rating or comments about an app to decide wether install it or not or wether it worths to try it?
For ROMs I think this kind of opinion is much more important and useful.

Let's be honest here...there IS a best rom at any given moment. There is very little criteria needed to decide which is best:
1) speed/performance
2) battery life
3) functionality/options
4) theme/aesthetica
1 and 2 are pretty straight forward, 3 doesn't have much budge room either and for 4, some people like loud and colorful cartoons on their phones and others prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look.
I can never understand why so many people dislike this kind of best rom thread. There ate a lot of smart, informed people on here who could offer better insights as to the pros/cons of multiple roms, why discourage this?
I've used every rom in the Dev thread and it its crystal clear to me that rocket rom is far and away the best in all the aforementioned categories. Cassies was ok but too thin, sheep rom was good at first but got swallowed up by the competition. Check rom is good but rocket is better, darky flat out sucked and there its no reason to go into the rest.

Can I help me pick a rom too? I'm reading up on Rocket ROM and Check ROM right now though.
Here's what I need:
1 & 2 - Max / best possible combination.
3 & 4 - I may only need highly-significant, innovative changes that you can judge as sort of.. "something you've been missing" while on stock rom. But then again, I may not have much regard for a specific item so I can probably live without it.
THANKS!!

Tbh, DarkyROM really seems to be buggy. I've read too many bug reports in that thread. I tried the ROM myself, and encountered numerous bugs as well.
I'm going to try Rocket ROM to see if jason370's claims are true.
I think we need some AOSP-based ROMs ASAP.
EDIT:
I've tried CheckROM v2 before, too.
I got random bootloops with AbyssNote v2.8, so I was forced to restore back to Sheep ROM.

Only recently received my shiny new Galaxy Note and the first thing I did was root it, CWM it and get the following ROM installed:
CheckROM Revo NoteHD
The reason I opted for this one is that the ROM Kitchen adds a lot of options for customization which means the tweaks I get are decided by *me* and not a ROM developer. So far I have yet to experience any problems with it and it did allow me to overclock. It even goes as far as letting you switch kernels from the device its self, can't fault that!
So far I'm a happy chap and glad I switched from my old iPhone 4!

I think n7000xxkl8 Rom will be best if u install it with mobile Odin.

I think you're talking about stock ROMs.

I tried romow and rhapsody.... now I'm using rhapsody and I find it very fast and stable.

As the note is my only phone, I have to run stock which is fine by me. Can't risk issues etc...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Running Checkrom on my SGS2 and planning on running the same thing on the galaxy note when i get it this week. its the perfect rom for people who want a stock experience on steroids. Im guessing the note version is basically the same thing.
However, Im kind of shocked about many users reporting bad battery life and laggyness on the note. That was my main problem with most android phones since day 1 and have not had a single issue like that with my sgs2 since ive had it. I was hoping the note would be an improvement over that, I guess i will have to find out.

I have tried Rocket and currently on CheckRom V3.
My personal experience, Rocket has better battery life. I would get atleast 2 days on Rocket. This was on the older V14 version. eybee has already released v17. For the same amount of usage, CheckRom V3 drains in a day.
If you would like to keep all the samsung apps that come with the stock rom without the hassle of trying to figure out which apps you want and which you don't want, Rocket will be good.
CheckRom has the Samsung apps removed. However you can install them from the Kitchen. I like the Kitchen option in CheckRom. If you are open to customizing your rom a lot, this is a good.

+1 for the [JAN 9][XXKL7][2.3.6][FINAL] CheckROM Revo NoteHD™ V3 its running on Steroids!
+ Kitchen App
+ very smooth with Abyss 3.0
+ lasts more than 2 days on battery with moderate/normal use

What's Your Favorite ROM, and Why?

Just wondering... what's your current favorite ROM for your Nexy, and why?
I used CM7 for most of my time owning my N1. Have it almost 2.5 years now. Very enjoyable experience.
Currently using MIUI GB 2.3.30, with Go Launcher and Neok kernel. I find it very stable and offers everything I need. I also enjoy the smoother experience GB offers for our device over ICS.
I also frequently try BCM ICS CM9, but always find myself reverting to MIUI as I miss working video camera and flash. Although gap is closing fast; flash now working, and video has just arrived.
Keeping a close eye on Sense 4 ROM too
What gets your vote?
PS hats off to all the rom cookers/developers for making the N1 so much fun to own

Cyanogenmod 7.10, most stable, best battery, most performance. I do like Sense , but it has battery drain, so no. ICS isnt complete yet, so I'm waiting for fix.

Which component of ICS that you are holding out for? I have been using ICS on a daily basis.

CM7 patched with PDroid and some solution to place apps in an dedicated partition on the SD card.

I'm currently working with both CyanogenMod7.2.0RC2 and BCMRC3.4Update1 .. I love having ICS working, but to be honest CM7 is better (i.e. more consistent and more stable) if this is your only phone.
I keep on messin' around and just assuming that one day I'll brick the device. That's OK though, a perfect opportunity to ditch AT&T once my GSM device is dead.
Anyway... here is question for you folks going back and forth between GB and ICS roms. Have you found a common internal partition size setup so you can simply nandroid restore back and forth? Or are you using BlackRose to resize each time?

i dont have a favor rom coz every 1 have some thing and not contained with other
now i'm using cm 7.2 its cool and the battery life is good
but the most thing i hate is call program (i dont know the true name) mean when someone call me his pic appear small and all that stile is ugly and cannot sync his facebook account with his name and pic
the sense roms give me a great call program and appear FB account ,....
but drain battery more and i think the camera quality is not good with all sense rom
so
1st - cm7.2
2nd - hyper supernova
ics waiting 4 stable
miui i dont like it

I usually stick with ICS layout when reverting back to CM7 or MIUI.
Now I'm back on BCM ICS

My favorites:
GB: cm7.2 RC - fast and stable
ICS: BCM passion - fast and many options

For those of you on BCM ICS, does it have trackball LED notification where you can set custom colors for different apps?
If not, would LightFlow work with BCM ICS? Thanks.
Haven't tried ICS yet, but as far as GB goes my fav is CM7.1

I love all the ics (BCM,Texasice, and Aokp) roms each have their own customization,very fast, and quite stable most of the time. I also like some of the gingerbread roms like cm7 and miui, they are very fast and have amazing battery life. Im not a big sense guy , but with sense 4.0 in dev i will prob give it a go . In the end the rom choice is up to the user.

m so happy
Ok I been using this phone for two years or so
I loved it and had my blue days
I have struggled with a2sd and etc
However I was always unhappy with not having the sense look
And now I am using this hyper sense nova Rom and I am in love with it
I get close to ten hours battery with light to moderate usage
I have a battery caluberation problem but once I solve it ill probably not switch

I am more interested in features than looking so I prefer CM 7.2

I'm running BCM myself (4.0U1 at the moment) but I keep a backup of CM7.2.0 in case anything goes bad.
I'd like to test MIUI someday but AFAIK greek language which I need is not supported, at least for ICS-based roms.
