Hi all,
I have been flashing each n every rom which is released here.. All r gud n unique.
But m looking for a rom which gives the best battery life.
I use Internet a lot... I mean a lot... Over 3g as well as wifi... I get some 10 calls a day... Online video and audio streaming of two hours. Auto sync is active always.. What's app, LinkedIn and Facebook... All together say two hours a day..
Suggest a rom which can handle all these usage.
Currently using cm10 dla..
I charge thrice a day.. Battery drains like butter..

I think cm7 and ARHD are the best for battery life but they are probably not enough for your use. If you prefer jelly bean I would suggest one of the cm10.1 since they are a little better than cm10 in terms of battery life

You should try ARHD 5.0... Its looks like Stock rom bt its awsm for battery life...
Cm7 would be too out dated... Anything advance.. I like sense and cm both.. Will give a try to arhd... Can anyone post a video link of arhd.. But i feel arhd is still old... Its sense 3.6 where as we have roms with 4.1 now.. Guys suggest more roms..

CM 10.1 Jelly time
I'm using CM 10.1 jelly time, battery performance is not that good, other than that, it works fine...
Regarding, battery, I'm not sure whether it's because of google now function...
---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------
I found that if you enabled GPS, then GPS seems always working there even after you closed the map app and switch off the GPS signal, and drains a lot of juice of battery..
did you guys found similar problem?
i think Packman 20 will be good option
Try some battery saving measures in a CM10 build. Disabling Google Now and location reporting should increase battery by a lot.

Sense 4.1 ROMs are slow on the incredible s. Use ARHD, it's a great ROM which I have been using for the last few months. CM7 is also great, even though it's a little old, CM7 gives the best battery over anything.

Just look at the LARGE amount of thanks Mike has received from developping ARHD. There isnt a need for words to describe how great it is
But back for real, ARHD is fully stock with speed tweaks here and there. If you remember your experience (if u had one) on ICS with Sense 3.6, just look back at that, and then imagine it being about 3 or 4 times smoother
Sabsa Prime is a fantastic rom.

As you can tell, everyone is going to have a different opinion on this, so we generally close these types of threads before the conversations devolve. Please try all the ROMs and choose the one you like best. I personally change between different ROMs at different times as no one ROM is "best" all the time since they all evolve over time with different features and their associated problems. Purchasing Titanium Backup along with doing regular nandroid backups has proved very beneficial to make the changeovers fairly painfree and ensure I don't lose anything.
Thank you,

I've had some good and bad experience with some roms, right now i have 2.3.6 ddq8 rom, it's good .. has some pros and cons ... has anyone tried both,, 7.2 rc3 cyanogen and 2.3.6 ??? which is better....??
need to work properly:
- battery
- speed
- camera
- gps
Last KTM Spain Stock rom is better than DQ8 and has lockscreen bugs fixed.
Battery is (from what i've tested) better
Speed ... better
GPS ... good, like DQ8

Tried them both, still prefer cm7.
I don't care that much about battery life, and the customization is insane. Daily use Apocalypse rom, very stable if you don't overclock it.
You can't really compare them, as they are to different things

Your screenshot shows that you charged phone multiple times and barely managed to get 16 hrs battery life. I have tried more than 30 ROM's and I have not seen a single Cyanogenmod beating Stock ROM's in battery life. I have tried various settings and various apps that could control CPU settings yet CM7 never managed to give me a better battery life.
Ok, you are not going to like this, but I just have to share my experiance with the 4.0.X series.
None, is good enough for daily use, yet.
Example: In my car, BT on, GPS on and incoming call hangs. Total lock up, random reboot. Messages: Contact process do not answere, would you like to terminate process. FB, same. Go Launcher, same.. other apps, same. Had ardx or CK kernal. No hyper settings, nothing more than on a regular GB rom.
I am starting to have dissbelieves on 4.X.X on this device. Reason? CPU and RAM in combination of looked up drivers our excellent developers can't get their hands on and mix/crossovers from other devices ports
Question: Is there anyone loobying / connected to Qualcomm/Huawei?
What can I do?
Please, this IS NOT any critique to anyone involved with any rom, port, dev, member or post. Just a question on where we are heading.

Same my thoughts and that is the reason I'm still on GB (Bumblebee), I was getting lot of Launcher Redraws also on 4.0.4 and all the other problems which you mentioned and the culprit is our RAM which is not even 512mb (only 351 or 356MB), if you switch off running background processes then what's the use of a smartphone without multi tasking.
Hi chrillefr...Have you tried IceCold 8.0...Before this ROM I had the same feeling what you have now...but since this ROM has come I have tried other ROM's experimenting but I revert back to this ROM.
Your feedback on this?...Our developers are working hard to get the perfect ROM for this phone.

.. yes, a bit of that in my mind. I know dev's are working their ass of to get all of this together and I'm blessed to take part of it too. Also, I'm thinking about "less" important features such as FM and full cam support, compiling kernals etc but I feel a bit helpless not being able to contribute more than on a philosophical level...

i think it depends on what u want.like if ur req is just the basics like me
im sure the matBLK provided CM9 A99 ending with the no 610 should be good enough i have been using it for a long time and have had no FC or any problems with it .My feeling is that is is very much a daily use ROM
but then i just need the basics thats all:laugh:

Multitasking, cam, BT and GPS and no wait state is what I need for daily use. Cam corder and front cam if possible.
Now, battery is good, sound and tether too.
Lets say I want to relie on my phone around others, not necessary stand out but not die on me like an old car that I don't know if it takes me from A to B.
Roms are getting larger both on cpu and gpu, just as computers and I guess we are getting closer to the limit with this one. So build light.
Sent from my A99 using xda app-developers app
Very true bro.
After extensively testing most of the roms in this forum, especially the ics ones, I've finally gone back to Sharp Rom fix 1, as most of the ics roms are not really designed for our device and though the Devs are doing there best to make it work but let's face is, I don't think our device can take that much any more. I personally multitask a lot and its very annoying and embarrassing when it fcs or reboot while your trying to show something to someone. As for me I think am gonna stick with Sharp for a while till something comes out of all the ics roms. I've asked if ck could make his kernel compatible with sharp cos I fill that will make it great.
Also don't you guys think most of these roms that aren't really meant for our phones that we regularly flash can be detrimental to the health of our phones at the long run? Like Chris will say, just my 2 cents lol.
This is just my personal opinion and am sorry if it makes some peep feel bad.

As Wesleyel said I also feel that ICS is not running smooth on our devices, I still feel that CPU and GPU are quite capable of running it but RAM is really giving us a headache, you can see that lot of 1ghz or less phones are running ICS nicely like ZTE Blade, skate, some Huawei phones also.... anyhow presently would like to stay on GB and will like to see what Jelly Beans port come to our devices by the devs
Well, I call this good news bcause I had a Blade before this. So now I can recommend ICS to them too. Any special port you'd suggest? Again, good to see you around!

Hi, I would like ask community for rom which is mainly fast and saves battery. Tried to look for something like that here at xda but almost every rom promises to be fast and have long batter life so its quite hard to choose something reliable. I dont want anything fancy, I just need long lasting phone with some performance. Thank you for you answers!
Try The last myth or Sgs2 JB v11.1
SGSII v11 is GREAT !
try StockLite ROM
Like the guys above me i would recommend:
theSGS II rom, it is fast with great battery life that will last at least all day.
The added bonus is you run android 4.2.2 (i know you dont want anything fancy but its still nice)
Stocklite, this rom also has great battery life and runs like a dream on our ace
This is (as the name suggests) a stock rom that runs 2.3.6 and looks almost identical to the stock.
The only thing i would stay away from is cyanogen roms, they seem to use a lot of battery very quickly.
Hope this helps

Hi SaM245!
The SGS II rom has Samsung Galaxy SII JB look but is based on android 2.3.6.

You can also try Maclaw's ICS ROM(RC3) which is super smooth and has good battery life. There's also a JB ROM which has just come out.

I am using AllianceROM from my signature. It is very smooth and snappy. It's TW based JB and it's nicely themed with OTAs and a lots of customizations. You can install with or without Samsung and Google apps. Just follow instructions.
I'm using Super Nexus 2.0
Pros:
Smooth and fast
No Bloatware
Great battery life
Cons:
None really. (some may say it is to much of a minimal ROM) but I actually like that
My favs
It's been about 15 months since i'm having my beloved Note, and i guess i flashed like 30 different ROM's on it, from GB's to JB's, CM, MIUI, literally everything. Let me mention my 2 favourites, The first one was this: [ROM][4.1.2][10/14] Cookies & Cream 1.3.0. Very highly customizable, smooth, and amazing battery life. The reason i stopped using it, cuz it has some flaws, i cannot save my contacts to the SIM card, or anywhere else, just to my Google, which i don't want. The other one problem was, there's no option to store the photos on your external SD card, only to the internal. Apart from this, a very good ROM. The next i'd like 2 mention is, my all-time fav, Chrack' s XXLRQ v16 Final. I'm using it for a while now, this is the most perfect ROM i ever used on my Note. Everything works perfectly, no FC's, lagging, smooth as melted butter, and it has probably the best battery life i ever experienced. Simply perfect ROM. I cannot recommend anything else more than this.
CM 10.1. Pure; like it should be.

All the TW ROMS including stock are dealable and for a major manufacturer to make a ROM that u can actually use WO having to be an I-Drone then i think every veteran would say that's impressive!
but also that, basic functionality doesn't mean that a C student getting a C+ is someone i want to hire or give a medal...u don't get praise for making something that works, after a million failed attempts, especially when u are a zillion dollar company
All the TW ROMs are pedestrian and I never understood why people can't live wo S-Planner? You use a TW ROM BC u have a separate tablet, and u cant live wo SPen...omg are u kidding? hahahahaha
Start flashing virgins, there's no reason we cant direct mobile computing....u can lay down and accept whats given,which is for them, or u can demand the best and push the envelope
Really we just want the hardware...
Thanks Samsung for making a device that I-Drones might look at BC its big but no thanks on trying to make more Samsung drones.... Its not good for humanity, technological advancement or me personally

Battery is quite good for me. A good start considering the rom is not optimized yet.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Battery life is amazing, considering cm10.1 is still quite raw. I've just plugged my phone in after 2 days.. 15% battery left. Some whatsapp, some messaging, some browsing, some music... the usual stuff. Wifi on 100% of the time.
So is speed, smooth as butter. The only drawback I was able to find so far is benchmark results... ran antutu and scored 5030 points, while the better stock JB roms are near or at 7000 points. Mind you, if I hadn't run that benchmark, I wouldn't have noticed there was a performance deficiency.. no lags, no hiccups, nothing.
If you don't use video recording, and don't mind turning the volume down then up during a call to solve the low volume problem... then yes, go with CM10.1 as it is right now, it doesn't dissapoint. It can only get better!
So wich cm Rom version comes out best out of the box here. And can i flash it over all fw versions?

http://goo.im/devs/diegoch/janice/cm-10.1/nightly
Well, there are a lot of CM10.1 nightlies... Have a look in the archive, I've personally had excellent results with the 20130621 one. Don't flash the latest 20130627 since it's corrupted (it weights 94 MB and a full rom is about 165-170MB)
From what I've read so far, CM10.1 works just fine if flashed over XXLQE firmware, but could have problems if using another one as base. I used polish XXLQE as base and it worked perfectly, apart from the two or three bugs CM10.1 still has.
I think cm 10.1 and pac 23.0 works well with any other base too. I'm using indian ddulp8 and got no issue at all. But better install from fresh stock firmware to avoid any problems.
