Overclock and battery life +best rom

What clock frequencies are you guys using. I am running at 1ghz 59vsel and the battery life isn't as good as 550 mhz (I know it shouldn't be). What frequencies and vsels are you guys using and what's the battery life like.
Also what roms are you guys using. I'm on cyanogenmod7. I was on cronos gingerbread for a while but it doesmt seem to go on standby. Anyone help?

I'm running Bugless Beast (GPA 15 Beta) with a 1.25 ghz low voltage kernel + comp cache enabled. It's rare for me to need to plug in the phone more than once a day to charge. Just google Peter Alfonso. He not only develops the ROMs but the kernels as well. He's doing AOSP Gingerbread builds that I find to be superior to CM7.

Isn't Bugless Beast only for Droid? Because I think he might be asking about Milestone.

Sucks, I heard that Peter Alfonso's kernels are pretty beast at battery life.

chevyNo1 5.2, gb, best rom I have used, had bb for a while, cm6.2, droid mod. run at 900mhz, battery is good

Latest build of miui rom is very good. Good battery life. 1000 MHz with smartass governer.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I've found gingerbread roms rtather slow when it comes to gaming (probably because gingerbread has not been released officially to any sgx530 phones). The new froyo uk update is so damn fast. Its ultra smooth at 550mhz. Has anyone made a custom rom based on the new official 2.2 milestone update?

Right now I'm running on 1GHz with 66vsel, but still battery life isn't good enough. I tried 59vsel like @choudu1, but phone is unstable and restarts every now and then.
I'm not sure if I need any more power since almost every game I've played runs smoothly and the phone is quite stable. The only games I can't run on decent framerate are Soul Reaver and Tekken 3 via PSX emulator psx4droid.

Running CM7 from 14.06 without problems.
Clocks:
800Mhz vsel 52
700Mhz vsel 44
600Mhz vsel 42
400Mhz vsel 35
250Mhz vsel 25
interactive governor
My battery can stand for two days with (my) normal use(few calls, few sms, some games, some internet using wi-fi, but not often). With heavy use it can stand for (almost) one day.

Stock Incredible - Battery?

Came from a highly modded EVO on Sprint to the Incredible on VZW. Now I'm looking to find a ROM that will help with this horrible battery life.
Suggestions?

CM7 with the latest tiamat kernel and vipers voltage scripts work well.
You should also invest in a sedio extended battery.. I've been looking at 2+ days of use without a charge

Rom-CM 7.0.3
Kernel- Tiamat 4.0.3
I use my phone quite a bit being in the IT field and I can usually get about 28 hours off a full charge. All the nightlies I've used have been roughly the same but figured I shoot you the stable first to try out.
Edit: lol took to long to type looks like jrk beat me.

If you head over to the Droid Incredible Accessories Forum, there is a lot of discussion about extended batteries and their effectiveness.
Otherwise, Pick a stable rom like Skyraider Sense 4.0 or Athena 1.2 (along with many other ROMs), get SetCPU and set a profile to reduce cpu usage while the screen is off

I'm having good luck with the stock software just I replaced the kernel with chads incredikernel and I must say wow huge difference. My stock battery will last all day and then some and my extended seidio 3500mah will run almost 3 days..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

If you want to keep the sense interface, Skyraider is working great on my wife's dinc. If the vanilla android interface is cool, then CM7 is certainly the way to go. Also I'm getting noticeable improvement using the 1900mAH bat that fits in the stock case. Though I am still testing.

what profiles do you make in SetCPU? I tried it out while using Nils Business Gingersense, but it seemed to be killing my battery more than saving...

Using incredikernel I don't set any profiles as the "smartass" governor in the kernel handles sleep on its own

Agreed. Looks fugly. Plus, The ext battery isn't even necessary once you have a good kernal. unless you are gonna be away from electricity for 2-3 days on the reg, skip it.
Sent from my Ultimate 2.3.3 Incredible

As far as batteries.. .Don't forget about the stock EVO battery. 1500mah and fits behind the stock cover. Doesn't sound like much but it was a good 20% increase for me.
Also it's only $7

I've been a devout LG fan... VX6000, VX9800, VX10000 until I got my DInc. Never had issues with LG, but their Android offerings suck on VzW. Now I've got huge respect for HTC, and a strong but dormant love for LG.
As far as battery life... try stuff out. Every phone reacts differently with different kernels and ROMs, not to mention the fact that batteries and hardware - although semi-standard in manufacturing - can have variances at the microscopic level. Trial and error is your best bet. I do about the same with any AOSP kernel and CM7 nightlies... though some run smoother than others.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.

MIUI beats CM7 hands down on battery life with incredikernel..

Agreed, I think OP should take a look here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
and I guess, to help answer the question.
Top ROM choices:
1) SkyRaider - if you like Sense UI and stock, this is a very popular choice
2) CM7 - If you like to have all the latest and best from Android OS, if you like extra features- this is for you. Quite stable, though some nightlies may have bugs, usually fixed quickly.
3) MIUI - Unique expirence, some compare it to the iPhone. Really though, it's a very nice UI with many great looking skins to get with it.
Top Kernel choices:
If you're using a sense ROM like Skyraider, make sure your using a sense kernel.
1) Chad's incerikernel - he has different versions for Sense and AOSP, both are really great on battery with still nice performance and stability.
2) Tiamat's kernel

As they said, Wrong Section.
But anyway, I have tried most of them ( All of them actually, build after build ) and so far, they're all in heavy development stages; improvement is coming in the near future. So I'm still on GB - Thanks for all of those working on ICS for SGS i-9000.

Tried ICS CM9, Slim ICS 2.6 and Onecosmic ICS (TEAM ICSSGS) and Im still on GB as in ALL of them messaging APP gets FC when reciving an pic via MMS (im on O2 UK). But i do like Slim ICS 2.6. Small, fast, stable.

Stock ICS ROM for I9000?
Anyhow I am using Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 port since 3.1 and for me it works fine.
I am using for:
* Playing videos from network shares
* Doing occasional wifi/3G internet browsing
* reading/writing e-mail
* usual phone stuff (SMS, calls)
* taking pictures
what I don't use:
* music play
* video recording
* MMS
* GPS
* Bluetooth
* FM Radio
For me battery life is reasonable (3G is turned OFF constantly, I only enable
it when I need it, Bluetooth, GPS always OFF, Wifi is always ON (sleep policy
is OFF when screen is off)), meaning I can make it ~2 days with the usage
I mentioned. if I switch 3G on my battery drains within less than a day.
The stuff obviously lags in sometimes (as the I9000 has not enough RAM),
when the OS swaps out processes.
But anyhow I am satisfied with the ROM, it perfectly suits my needs.

Really?? u guys replying to this.....what the heck. Lock this pls.

Why is this even a debate? Clearly SuperAwesome Perfect Plus ROM v90001 ICS (Metropolitan Edition) with UltraEnhancements is the best ROM for everyone.

Dark knight 4.0.4 the best so far

wrong section but good thread!!!
I was using CM9 build by build but finally I came back on GB because of android os,battery consuption but wait for the ICS roms with perfect function

Wow? How this come true?

My workaround for fc mms on slim is to have smart gallery+ installed and download the attachment. Then I just look at it in smart gallery. for some reason the loeel doesn't work for me. Slim is my favourite too by the way.

Wrong thread indeed.
But AOKP and CNA are pretty good

Tired ICSSGS, MyUI, and CNA, CNa is very smooth and lagfree but drain a little bit more battery then ICSSGS in my opinion.

I think most of us want to know the answer but I don't think it will come out. I am using Kang's rom for my I9000. I feel comfortable and satisfy. Just for your reference.

Hi xda-community
I'm a noob and my english isn't very good so excuse me if u find some mistakes
My question is this: I'm running Nicks Sense 4a Rom and everything is very smooth and fast and i've got no problems with it. Yesterday i downloaded the quadrand benchmark test and I got only 1065 Points....Is this normal?
the second time i got 1105 and this was the best...so is there anybody who can say why the incs is so bad at this benchmark test?

It's because sense takes up 500mb + of internal memory. I don't believe niks roms are on the "lite" side either. Not sure if he's overclocked it yet as I think he's using the standard kernel. A little overclocking and some cleanup of internal memory space should do the trick.

I don't think ROM becomes better in case benchmark will show higher numbers just use your phone and enjoy it
Btw, I think quadrant may show so low results because this ROM was ported and we don't have official update to ics.

this can be true...I'm downloading v2 of the rom...i'll post the new results

Benchmarks aren't all that, they're mostly an e-peen thing. If you notice no performance issues, and can do whatever you want to do with the ROM, than it's a good ROM. Getting a ROM purely because it has good benchmarks, but has sucky on-hand experience is a pretty weird thing to do.
=> Don't base your opinion on a Rom on benchmarks, they're not what they're propped up to be

i love the rom the benchmark was only a test to see if it has an effect on the phone speed...how I said the rom is very smooth and had no lags...

The usage is a lil bit smoother then version 1

How fast is this phone??

Hi, I really fancy getting this phone due to its form factor, but all the reviews seem to disagree about its performance. Antutu scores (around 13500) suggest it should be much faster than snapdragon devices but some reviews say it's average....Confused!
Anyone give me some real life impressions of how fast it is? (my other options are the big boys, htc one x etc... Not sure about size)
Also do you think Cm 10.1 will arrive eventually after x86 issues are solved?
Thanks for any replies
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Not sure about CM 10.1 but dang, this phone is fast! Been using it for months now and it litteraly flies. And that is without the upgrade to JB even.
Testers from this forum found it as fast the Samsung Galaxy S3 so don't worry about the speed.

I agree. I'm not rooted and have ICS and I find this phone faster than any other I've had (recently Desire and Desire S)
Yes, using stock launcher can be a bit laggy sometimes but I use Holo Launcher and it's totally lag free!

Hello ALL did you discover lags, slowdown between screens after update ? JB on my mobile (xt890) working so slow. I don't know what is the problem. I didn't do factory reset after update. What you thinking, that could be a problem? I started using difference launcher (NOVA) and seem my problem gone in 80% because I really like Motorola's launcher with amazing circles widget.

Lucky you having JB!
The first thing I'll do after updating to JB is to factory reset the phone as I'm sure that this resets everything and should stop any problems left over from the previous operating system.
Sent from my Motorola Razr I using Tapatalk 2

My RAZR i is running stock JB and I get a split second of lag when going back to the home screen from an app. I think that the launcher doesn't keep in memory like the ones you get from play store. So it has to reopen the launcher when you go home. Not a big deal. As far as speed, I get over 4100 in quadrant. Beats out the Asus transformer and matches the one x (according to quadrant) so yeah. Fast fast. Love this phone.

Benchmarks are just theoretical and its all about how fast the phone appears to the user.
Perception is reality after all!
And on that scale the RAZR I is up there with the best. I cant make out any difference to any of the Android flagships that I have tried over the last few months.

Thank you for the great replies, it sounds like it performs way above its mid range billing. I get the feeling that a lot of the online reviews try to compare it with the likes of the gs3, when it's real competition like the HTC one s seems at least a little slower, has no memory expansion and it's way more expensive at the minute.
There are some great deals on it at the moment, so I'll go for it. Just have to hope it ships on jelly bean. I'm sure I'll be around the forum a bit once I get it, everyone seems really helpful. Thanks
