I've been looking for one myself and simplerom has been the smoothest and most problem free one I have checked out in past 3 days.

Ultimate Droid 1.0.0 is by far the smoothest and quickest ROM that I've run.

Huge fan of Cyanogen 6.0... just switched to the latest nightly and it's even better. That's just my .02

My buddy wants some help rooting and wants better battery life, any suggestions? (Im on an evo so im unfamiliar with droid roms)

I like Cyanogen nightlies. They're fast and work. Not sure if there is a big difference in battery life. I just rooted a couple weeks ago and keep trying different ROMs, Kernels, Themes, settings combination, which tends to keep me charging.

Id definitly have to say UD 1.0.0 or MIUI for droid. UD for speed, smoothness, stability, and themes. And MIUI for speed and just plain aesthetic appearance

I just can't give up the features and customization. I've just loaded nightly build 160 and the new features in it rule. There are a couple of bugs, but that's because it's not in its stable release yet.
As far as themes - I make my own and just Morph them in. It's never a big deal and they work with any version of CM because I'm only changing PNGs. All of the conflicting text colors can be modified within CM Settings.
Android: it's whatever you want it to be.

ShadowRom v.0.2.1 P3 of 1ghz Kernel. Fast as you need it smooth as can be and battery life is amazing! Smoked glass theme is a nice touch on top of it all.

cant go wrong with liquid frozen yogurt 1.71 frg83 2.2.1 froyo... fast and reliable.

i have bugless beast now
i am trying to get cyngnamod but its not liking me... it wont download

id go with ud 1.0.0. for battery life. simplystunning 4.9 for rediculous speed. i used chevyno1 1.1ghz kernel for both roms

Shadowrom v0.2.2 best battery life and I have tried all roms sorry but IMO shadow rom tops them all with battery life and settings. Only down side to shadow rom only kernels you can flash are p3's but it fast and very stable

CyanogenMod 6.1 RC3 with P3Droid 125/1100 MHz Low Voltage makes me pretty happy. I imagine the production version will be out post haste.

Best ROM IMHO
I present to you sir, a ROM that is fast, stable, and has tremendous battery life. What more can you ask for? The ROM that I speak of is called Charity, and I have supplied you today with a link to such a ROM.

With this, I am running 1.1 GHz with a promise to go higher using chevy1s kernels. It has bloatware removed and I ran a 1400 on my benchmark today. It is excellent on battery life, I use it from 6am to about 10pm, with texting all day and music playing for 3 hours of the day, and mild browsing of internet.
Just try it, its magical! *-*

Love MIUI. I've used it on both the Droid and the Incredible. Stunning.

[Q] ROM for best battery life?

Edit: go ahead and move me, wrong forum...
What is the ROM that you guys have experienced the best battery life on? I had great battery life on one of the Cognition betas right after DG started using Froyo, but I don't know which one .
I'm using Perception Build 7 and I get a strong full day of use, but I would love to get more. I usually keep certain battery-draining activities to a minimum (e.g. auto-updating apps) so I would like to see even better performance, battery-wise.
So what's your experience with battery life and different ROMs?

Any of the latest cognition roms were best for me. I find that the ported roms are never quite as good.. but im using them anyway for the speed.

I found the insanity rom with the cogkernel was a pretty good combo. The rom was minimal and the kernel was just uv and not oc. It was pretty good. It rivaled the battery I got with frankentwiz and the unhelpful uv combo,Which ill miss forever T.T

i find the assonance ROMS have decent battery life

Axura with setiron 1.4.3. Tried with dgkernel and causes sleep death. Perception yields good life also

For milestone? I would say that the 01-25 leak is the best by far.
The rest are pretty evenly matched (the CM7 base roms are mostly the same, etc)
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk

On the ShadowMOD the battery life is comparable to stock 2.1. At least on build 3 - build 6. On other mods (FroyoMod, Cyanogen) it is generally lower, if you do not tune it yourself.
Leak 01-25 is not bad too, but seems a bit less stable.

How to tune it ??
I heard that froyomod has a pretty good battery life. Is it true ??
Sent from my A853 using XDA App

James91, I've meant that shadowmod seems to be better in battery life just from the moment of flashing. When using the froyomon they recommend to use it's "battery calibrate" script, or delete batterystats.bin manually, and use task killers, and so on.
I was on froyomod for 5 days and never got more than 24 hrs on battery (non-intensive use). But I did not use "calibrate" script, because I a m not sure in it's safety. On shadowmod I have 40+ hours.

Thanks for your reply
I have just tried froyomod but unfortunately I got some errors on internal memory
and I turn to shadowmod again
The battery life of shadowmod (b3) is OK.
Since it would automatically kill tasks and reduce power consumption.

You dont need scripts to tune our phone. Use the 'bump charge' trick. There is a lot of talk about this in the CM7 thread.
1 power off phone
2 plug into wall charger
3 remove battery
4 wait for ? To appear (question mark)
5 put battery back in for LONG charge
6 flash any rom with full wipe.
This will ensure battery calibration on new ROM.
But honesly, if battery life is your thing: use the 01/25 leak. I am not sure why people disagree. The ROM is not flashy at all, but battery is at least 2x better then closest ROM. We have 4 milestones at work and everybody get at least 36 to 48 hrs of HEAVY use. Most cant get more then 12 to 16 with other ROMs.
Ppl that want battery life use that rom, ppl that want features, etc...use CM7 or others. Although some people are now moving back to the leak as themes are avaiable for it and a suprising amount of work is going into it.

I'm using Cronos 1.8.1 now and I'm really happy with it.
It's pretty popular among Milestone users, too bad you didn't include it.

stock roms for sure, I'm using the latest O2 leak & it's excellent in terms of power management.

I didn't include Cronos 1.8.1 coz I have heard that this rom has obvious battery drain.

Captivate rom help....battery and performance.

What is the sleekest rom that is farely fast in quadrant yet the battery life (combined with a modem and kernel) is dependable for light to medium use? Im currently on pheonix ultimate. Not only is it fairly slow but the battery life is not the best even when screen is off and wiring and data are off.
Sorry if it has been asked before. I prefer a gingerbread based captivate rom but anything 2.2 or over is suffice. Maybe explain too what a good modem and kernel are that don't necessarily oc or uv but can...that don't drain battery!
Much Appreciated,
Your Noob.

Haha... Wait for it...

Not sure what the answer to your question is, but this hardly belongs in the Dev section. Q&A would probably be best. I have already sent request for this to be moved. Oh well... hope you get an answer after it's in the right section.

Quadrant means nothing. Dude

It's hard to say which ROM is the *best*, you just have to give them all a shot and see which works best for yourself. Battery wise, doesn't only depend on the ROM itself but also if your battery is old, you might consider changing it.
I don't think quadrant matter either, just numbers, as long as the phone is smooth when I use it, it's fine with me.

Quadrant doesn't mean a thing, but I have found that kh3 roms have the best battery life.
Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier

fusion v is fenomenal. fasty is great too, if you can deal with the obtrusive theme and animations

Why don't you just try flashing some roms and see what best suits you instead of asking a community to publicity place a value judgement on other developers hard work?
And for your edification, this is the type of question for.... you guessed it.... q&a, not development.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

No rom is the best. But my experience Native roms tend to run smoother for longer periods of time, and 2.3.4 KH3 roms have the best battery life. Dont ask for "best" because there is no best you gain some things and loose other. So try them out.

Root v ROM - Battery Life

I rooted my Vivid (AT&T) a long while back, flashed a custom kernel (Faux 007) and tweaked it a fair bit for a cleaner look and better battery life. It helped. Some.
I have work apps installed that are a pain to get authorized and reinstalled, so I'd rather not go through the trouble again if I don't have to. However, I would like to get better battery life out of my phone if I could.
So, anyone have any experience on battery life of root vs ROM? Any particular ROMs/kernels for fantastic battery life? I'm not using sense widgets so doesn't matter if it's sense or stock UI.
TIA

WCX ROM FTW google wcx illuminati and register on his forum. you need 10 posts to download tho

Not to get off topic here, but is WCX a sense based ROM?

Personally, the Holics ROM 1.3 with Holics 0730 kernel has worked great for me.
SetCPU to control CPU frequency: Max 1.5GHZ, min 350MHZ.
I used the Intellidemand governor, and noop scheduler.
I do NOT use task killers.
I use Lux Auto Brightness to control my screen brightness (highly recommend it!).
I use the APN Switch widget to turn my APN off when not in use (basically always unless I'm sending/receiving an MMS)
I close my apps when I'm done with them.
There is also an app called Llama that you can use to control all kinds of things, like turning wifi on and off based on the time of day and/or your location, etc. It's pretty cool, but I don't use it presently. Here are two examples of my battery life, with moderate usage.

Then ya'll will hate this one. I'm running wahjee's 1.6 de-sensed ROM with everything on. Live wallpapers, notifications, widgets galore and a lot of use...

with rom and battery life it is easier to try the different ones for yourself to see which gives you better life, each device and person will have different experiences. I had good experiences with all of them but what worked good for me may not for you.

Agreed. I think more than anything it comes down to two things: your screen-on time, and your cell-searching time. If you are in a low-signal area a lot (like the woods or a basement, or worse - a basement in the woods (!!!)) you can expect to get poor battery life on just about anything. Also, if you're playing angry birds every waking moment, you're going to bleed your batter dry. Simple as that.
If you live in a good signal area, and have screen brightness as low as possible, you're already in a good spot. Any tweaks you can do might help, but probably not by 12+ hours.

You know, that's probably my number one issue, I just hadn't thought about it that way. On weekends, I easily last the whole day and have 40% or more left. At work, it's dying fast and often unless I plug it in while I'm at my desk. I'm away from windows and 11 floors up, so the signal is pretty poor.
In normal situations, the battery life does seem improved with the kernel I am using and the rooted/cleaned up bloat. But since I spend most of my time sitting in this chair with almost no signal, I notice that the most.
And as for trying out other ROMS, well we'll see when my contract is up and I pick up another phone so I can tinker to my hearts content while keeping a pristine phone for work. I just don't have the leeway to bork my phone right now.

When you were using faux's kernel did u remember to rename "mpdecision" and "thermald" to "mpdecison_dis" and "thermald_dis"? Cause that would also be why you didnt really see a bigger difference in performance with his kernel.
