Please! I know that 2.2.1 is the new rage on the Milestone but not everyone wants to run a beta/buggy release yet that's not that great on battery.
Remember when XP Beta/Vista Beta/7 Beta came out? Some people ran them, but many eager tweakers still dual booted because a beta OS is not meant to be 24/7 stable.
Well same here. I don't mind playing with 2.2.1 from time to time, but I'd like a stable Eclair ROM.
I know there are Eclair ROMs out there, but calling all ROM devs, please don't just ditch 2.1 like that. There are great ROMs already out there, but we'd all appreciate it if you all kept up the great work and added/fixed stuff in those already awesome 2.1 ROMs.
I tend to agree. 2.2.1 is just too buggy and uses too much battery imo.

You did not try Cronos 1.5.0 did you? Anyhow I will bump a question to Feeyo if he could build up an Eclair AOSP rom.
Like 89luca89 said, there already are Eclair ROMs. And they were prety much developed to what they can be, so rly no point to further develop them, except for some theme changes not much can be improved on them.
It is hardly a month since 2.2.1 GOT leak, and the worse hickup(battery drain) seems to be finaly brought to Eclair level or will be in near future in some ROMs.
Maybe the last reason to use Eclair now is if you need cifs.ko module and some others not yet made for 2.2.

There's bugs. Look at the Telus lite thread and people talk about bugs. HoNo's own ROM has the music bug that brings it to the original Telus 2.1 level.
Which 2.2.1 rom has anywhere the batter life of the eclair roms? I'm nearly 16 hours into this charge and after heavy use I still have 40% battery left and I'm overclocked to 800mhz. I've tried a couple 2.2.1 roms and none come close to the performance I'm getting with the eclairmod. When battery life is as good as this, perhaps ill switch butbfor now I have no reason to switch.

The last cm6 for milestone is way way better -batterywise- than stock 2.1,of course much faster,but the battery life is fantastic if you install it properly and maybe use conservative governor.
At 1000 mhz i m getting about 30 full hours with a little talking and a quite lot of surfing (i mean hours) both wifi and 3g or 2g if i want my battery to last e

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.

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.

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.

Hello,
i took the ROMS that are currently on the 1st page... I know there are plenty more, but i wanted to use the ones on the first page of this forum....
I used GOT and was pretty happy, used CM and was even more, and then MIUI, but i think i will go back to CM...
Since yesterday I use the CyanogenMod and just wondering why I was with GOT's all this time.. CM is the best. As simple as that.

FroyoMod having best battery use time
With the latest CM - i never had even 1 reboot... It's probably the smoothest version of a phone i had since my Nokia 6210 back in 2000... (kidding...)
Its definitely the smoothest version i had on my Milestone, and actually no problems whatsoever. First time no reboots at all on my phone..

With CM I just got 48 hours of use on one-charge this weekend, and not a single force-close or crash. Cannot say the same about the other Froyo-Mods
i like miui the best, its very smooth and has the best design and awesome battery life!
i unpluuged it at 6:15 am and now at 4:30 pm i still have 70% battery, and i played 45 minutes angry birds, doodle jump and pocket legends and surfed around the web for at least half an hour, i was writing several sms and phoned some people!
and in my opinion it has the best usability with the integrated battery saver and the smartass governor!

the rom is only for the Motorola Droid but not for our milestone.. he must accidently picked milestone android developing instead of droid android developing
Telus lite V5... its not up there, but in my experience its blown everything else out of the water.
until now, 2.2.1 still not stable so I decided to use 2.1 and TelusliteV5 is best choice. Smoothest and great battery life.
Cyanogen has rapid development and code is verified which should give best quality but after testing FroyoMod I voted for it because I don't have any issue at this point and it is smoothest rom of all that I have used no mater that it was stock or mod rom.
Foryo has lots of cyanogen goodness and ads its own like crystal talk, gallery 2d
Cyanogen here. Most complete and customisable rom imo. Very fast. Very stable. Rapidly updated to fix bugs as discovered.
Actually I own an evo and you can just google ultimate droid forums and u can find the website you have to register to download it but it is worth the time I promise you

Hello guys!
For now, i'm using the ShadowMod BR.
A rom developed by a guy in my country (Brazil). The project is very good. There's no issues and everything works. I don't know about CM rom's but this rom is very fast and stable. And have all languages support.
So, if somebody want's to try just search on google for ShadowMod BR
ill say chronos rom its what ive been useing and i liek it very fast and stable
I use miui with launcher pro as i get all the setting and apps from miui can add themes
icons etc and still have very stable phone with good battery life
Hi ....
Perhaps you can help me and say which rom is the stablest and smoothest and fastest for the LG Optimus 2X P990 ... i have tried a lot of roms but they all have bugs ...
The fastest and stablest for me was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419 and then the 1.5 a version i think but the new version should be fine.
CM7 is also good since it uses less battery but there are some bugs in it still.
I'm a bit of a newbie to the O2X but I've tried a few roms and I've found that the modaco fr15 fear edition is pretty much like stock with a few nice tweaks so it's very stable from what I've seen so far, they've stripped pretty much everything out that you don't need so it's pretty quick too (well very quick).
I've put the over clocking kernel on too and with it over clocked to 1.4 ghz I've got 3976 on Quadrant. But after a while I started to get a few fc's so I put it back down to stock and everything was fine again.
I'm not saying this is what you should do, but I'm just letting you know my experiences with what I've tried so far.....
Also new to this forum. Anyway, I am using Fear r15 and have no problems at all. Very smooth, although I am missing some of my favorite LG Widgets ( Memo and Calendar ) , it is the stability without lags that made me switch to Fear ROM.
I'm on Modaco FR16(beta 4), and it's fast & smooth, and kind to your battery. My only problem is that my Exchange account keeps on disappearing, but it could be my Exchange server.

I'm thinking of going onto this rom cos I have noticed the fast battery drain on fr15... But i have only had the phone for a couple of days and i didn't really get a chance to see what it was like on stock, so I don't know whether its normal.
One thing I did notice was the fact the the music app is constantly running and even my task killer wont stop it. I know I probably dont need a task killer but its habit since I had my G1 many moons ago...
I'm using the CM7 nightlies and am very pleased with them. There are a few bugs and issues to be worked out (eg: no 801.2x support for WiFi), but for the most part, I'm very satisfied.

Install Battery Calibration, charge to full then calibrate battery
You can also do the same by charging to full then wipe battery stats in recovery.
CM has a full list of APNs if there are some which aren't in use delete them off.
Flash your Radio to 0218, seem to work better than 0405 regarding battery issues. This will be at the expense of some call quality, to me it is worth it.
I am using CM7 at the moment and I have no intention of switching back.
Ive been using CM7 build 20 for some days and there was several things that was missing. It was stabel, but was using a great deal of battery.
So I switched over til BlazingDragon v1.7. This one is working wherey nice. Its based on the stock LG ROM so its only Android 2.2.2. CM7 is ver. 2.3.4.
Now i see that Modaco fr17 is out, but there is so many custom ROM out there so now Im not sure what to.
CM7 is getting better for every built they give out, but its not that good yeat, but Im sure it will be great when RC versjon is ready.
how about WGSPOELSTRA?
Im very happy with the latest madaco. CM is still way to unstable.

There should be a thread for this in every phone section.. For those who have recently changed from the infamous sense to the Vanilla Gingerbread Experience ie. CM7, how do you find the battery life. Better or worse? And if there are any kernels that you find give it much more juice in a charge please list below. I find that after my CM7 'upgrade' without any kernel changes that I am getting much better life in a day.

It's the main reason I want to s-off my cell phone right now. Battery life is next to nothing with Sense.
If it weren't for Android 2.3.3., we would all be using rooted Incredible S's.
Actually there are quite a few CM7 users now, if the download stats are to be believed.
Just a minor point: CM7 is not 'vanilla' Android at all, it has quite a lot of extra features, tweaks and customisations compared to the base Android system.
I'm in a dilemma right now.
I got my Incredible S a few days ago and everything works fine. After a bit of reading, I figured I was lucky to have the 2.2.1 version of the phone since it would allow me to either S-Off it or upgrade to Gingerbread.
Sense is fine and all, but I'm thinking of rooting the phone to be able to install custom roms in order to get better performance and more customization options. I'm mostly wondering how 2.3 with sense runs on the Incredible S compared to 2.2 with sense.
So root or go gingerbread with sense, which is the best thing to do?
Im using CM7 RC1 - have been since i s-off'd my IncS about 3-4months ago
cm7 on here has been clean, with no major issues - battery life for me has been great, im quite a heavy user, listen to alot of music, always tweeting or on facebook.
for me it lasts the whole day and feels to be better than when i was on stock sense.
Sense had too much other stuff running whilst i was "playing about" and would drain the battery alot quicker.
For me CM7 is the ideal rom for this phone, ive tried others but always came back to CM7

Just don't upgrade OTA to the official 2.30.405.1.
Read more here.
i've always found that sense was waay too much, i mean too much comes out of the box.
For me battery in CM7 works a bit longer then it stock, but in revolution hd + nosense script battery works even longer.
Also another reason I like it so much if because its using android almost the way it was supposed top be used.. Not with all of the bloatware and stuff
Swyped from my HTC Incredible S
I tried sense for a few days and it lasted about 23 hours on average. I installed Cyanogenmod7 just now, I'll come back with an update!
Am on Android Revolution HD after rooting and the battery life is better compared to the stock HTC 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. I have the Sense 3.0 addon installed with ARHD - a full charge usually lasts me 1.5days with moderate usage.
I think i'm gonna try ARHD with no sense script and see how it lasts..
MODS/ADMINS: Can you please change the title of this thread to "Comparing ROM Battery Life" or something of the genre.
Much appreciated.
I've been using Cyanogenmod7 for a few days now and I can't say that I've noticed any significant differences with Sense.

Just saw that news today thanks to Phandroid! Very welcomed developments and appreciate the heads up.
I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo
i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...
I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?
Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

OK, I've got it all set up now to probably my most basic setup, I'll give it a go today and if all goes well I'll mark this thread as solved thanks guys
One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:
