Hi,
Just wanna know people's experiences with roms and battery life?
Which one is the best ? This is subjective but generally speaking which one stands out.
Also, does Froyo have the vodoo battery life - where it just disappearrs? Had this once on mine. GB is better ?
Cheers
I have used stock Froyo and stock Gingerbread, and in my opinion Gingerbred is more better than Froyo in many things.

Overcome Gold , as Far its very good with battery life and its much better than the stock gingerbread
Stock is better because the latest oc has overclock which seems to make my gt warmer.As electronics is my profession I know that heat is a major stress factor for components.
I also share the same opinion as thepitbull regarding overclocking.
You can also use setcpu to underclock but for me I'd rather stick to simpler means.

In case you do undervolt only, that should help you battery life?
I'm using Overcome RC1, Gingerbread, and I need to reset the battery and the battery stats, since battery life seems nearly only 25% of stock.
However I know that once this is done, the batterylife is very good.
I will check out beta3 Honeycomb tonight or tomorrow when it gets released, was quite happy with the batterylife of HC Beta 2
Which one is the best Rom/Kernel combination for battery life? I am currently using latest cognition build but I am not happy with the batter life. Any advice?

Their really is no answer to your question. Its all opinion. Cause not all phones, rom, and kernels elect are the same/equal. They are all different and they perform differently. So the best thing to do is test them out for yourself and find the one that meets your needs.
Gingerbread ROMs has more battery drain than Froyo based ones.. wats your battery life?

on the contrary GB roms have far superior battery life. U might have encountered android OS bug which doesnt happen often

I agree. I get much better battery life on GB roms then Froyo.
Hello,
Is there a major difference between android 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread for our O2x?
Froyo was fine on my phone, but i read that froyo does not support multi core rendering.
Still, the Kernel in Stock GB is Froyo kernel right (2.6.xx.x)?
So are there any advantages coming with gb?
Ics (cm9, aokp) is not ready for daily use, in cm7 i dont like the camera (quality), also i use lg smartshare and music. So its not about CM or Stock, i just want to know if gb has advantages over froyo on the O2x.
btw i really like the froyo cam mod, looks very interesting
Thank you very much,
cheers
Froyo is a bit laggy, and nothing really happens in GB, so there isn´t that much of a different other then the version number and some bugfixes.
umm isnt the question here not froyo vs gingerbread but more like... stock vs custom roms ?
because... you know.... there is an official gingerbread rom and stuff...
in my experience gingerbread is better because it uses less battery and is better at ram management.
Gingerbread is faster and more bug-free, but froyo was smoother than GB.
In cynogen 7 you cand use moded camera with 20 + mbs and fixed focus with is superior to stock lg camera with has about 10 mbs and no video focus (there is no stock camera mod with even start video focus) Or you can edit media pofiles in system etc to increse bitrate.What is the main issue you have with the cyanogem 7 camera?

ginger is generally better with a better management of the ram (no there is still a true multitasking).
20q is a great firmware, I, however, prefer CM7 ....
I personally prefer v20q stock rom with spica SR3R2 kernel. I have used this phone since launch day back in march 2011...I can say that the official rom updates has gone a long way with lots of improvements generally in terms of speed and battery life. I have not tried cm7 so I cannot compare.

Just cross your fingers and hope that when stock ICS is released (better be soon) it actually isn't laggy and free of bugs.

The only thing, ppl still sticking with this phone is official ICS release. It could further open a new window for development.

For me, gingerbread use more battery than froyo. And I have just switched back to froyo because of that.
can u give me a link to the rom. i might do the same.
any real draw backs.
like i heard the 3d rendering / hw accell, etc isnt as good?
can still 3g video call etc. 1080p video ?
Thanks
Froyo is better than gingerbread...just try nostalgia rom by topogigi

It was important for me to run skype with frontcam. this is not possible with froyo. Besides that, I find v20q in every way better than froyo. Dont stick with an old rom

After 24h of runtime you will change idea...

Stock 2.3 with gueste kernel has about 0.5%/hour battery consumption(measured by battery monitor widget 3c) Its 2 weeks of standby. I usualy can use it for 48 hours of normal use.

I am running V20q for 2 months now. I am not turning off my phone every day. Usually, I restart my phone once a week (lets say after 5 days). So, what is the problem then?
Which 2.2 ROM for the Milestone is the fastest, but also has great battery life? One that will withstand running apps smoothly, but not killing the battery so quickly.
any rom 2.2 to 550-800mhz overclocking increases battery life 2 days straight ... I recommend Rom rentail brazil .. Froyo 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007493&highlight=brazil this one?
yeah .. but I do not have the link to the ROM
In my opinion TheFroyoMOD is the best one.
CM6 is the best Froyo-based ROM, however CM7 provides better battery life and performance, compared to Froyo.

You can get either fastest or great battery life, not both... Stock Froyo is better in the battery life department than anything else, some roms are close, but even with undervolt and turning off radios/3G when not needed, stock froyo battery life is better (and can get even better by doing the exact same thing)...
Altough, it is not as smooth as Froyomod or CM6 or CM7....
You will have to either give up a little bit of battery life, or a lot of smoothnes.... My Milestone is running CM7 and I think that it is, overall, the best option for it.
