[Q] Most efficient rom? - HTC Sensation XL

I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM, and I'm trying to find one with:
- decent battery life, and
- speed
Those are my only two criteria.
What do you all think?

AW: [Q] Most efficient rom?
Evervolv absolutely! Battery life is decent on miui and most sense 3.6 Roms too.

Actually, I was thinking of trying that one. Evervolv is one of the ROMs I have yet to try.
So far, the 3 Muskateers Insanely Cool Sense 4 has been my favourite.

AW: [Q] Most efficient rom?
Ya i like that too but this call bug when you receive SMS or mail was too annoying for me

I've only used codename but considering its been updated twice, it's more stable compared to the other ROMs. Battery life is decent, nothing to write home about but Nik's ROMs are know to have amazing battery life, so once his phone is fixed, I'm pretty sure that that will get better too.

yeah Codename JB is an amazing ROM considering how soon ago it was released. Props to Nik!
Using PARANOIDANDROID ATM battery life is OK (last the day with medium use) but im yet to explore the paranoidandroid settings.

I am gonna upgrade my Project X v4.1 to PARANOIDANDROID!
Tried paranoidandroid. It is good &c but once you start tweaking with it, playing with the settings, removing some pesky google autosync apks, it begins to get skittlish as a harlot. Fc and soft reboots galore even on shifting apps to sd... Good but needs development to be stable.... Waiting....

Does anyone know when we will get cm9 or 10?

I tried paranoidandroid yesterday and I found that the notify bar didn't work also home screen button also didn't work so I go back to the project x

Codename for sure
Been using codename since a while now. Super smooth. Only the backlights and front camera are unstable. Also mobile data keeps disconnecting which is a lil irritating. And if you wanna keep switching SD cards, there is no unmount option in Settings-Storage to safely remove the SD card.......Its still not perfect but its worth the wait. There are fixes for those though so no need to worry.
Lotssss of tweaks and if you want performance and aesthetics Codename is the way to go. You can tweak the **** out of it as in you can O/C it, there are 2 finger gestures in the pull down menu and many mo. Damn its beautiful!!
I also wanna flash codename maybe I will try it today

GTA 3

Hey Guyz,
I recently downloaded GTA 3 on my IncS with Viper, and I found that I cannot get past a cutscene without phone rebooting.. Does anyone relate to this and if so, is there a fix/work-around for this? It used to work on Stock Sense 3.6, bit it doesn't now...

It might be an app issue. Contact the dev.

I dont think so, like i played the same game with same version on stock rom, and it worked perfectly...

Anyone?

I found viper to be glitchey while running large processes for example on most ROMs I can have a torrent client running in the background while I use my phone to play games however on viper rom I can't even use torrent because the lag is through the roof even when overclocked to 1651. Viper rom does not and will not allow you to run large processes.

So should I switch? I was thinking of switching to BlackOut..

It really depends what your looking for in a rom. For me it's speed, stability and light customization. For you, it might be something else.

Im looking at stability and medium battery-life.. Any Suggestions?

Try what's in my signature, it's over a year old but rock solid and I get 3 days of heavy use out of it. I think people need to get over this whole ics and jb thing we could just improve upon gb ROMs and there would be no problems.

Suggest a ROM

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..
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
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...

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.

Thread Closed
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,

[Q] Concerning the camera and custom ROMs

Currently there are no "custom" ROMs, as I'd term them. Right now, they're are just optimizations of Sense 5. When ROMs like AOKP and CM start popping up for the HTC One, will it be difficult to get the stock Sense camera app on them? That's the only thing I'm worried about in relation to switching to a non-Sense ROM. All the HTC optimizations and features for the camera will be lost with the stock Android camera app.
Will it be as easy as sticking the APK on the new ROM? Or will it require some real work?
HTC camera requires sense framework which isn't present in Aosp/aokp Roma

Well, that sucks. I really can't switch to an non-Sense ROM if I'm going to lose all the camera optimizations. Hopefully someone can figure it out.
Yea I always wished the camera was better on vanilla roms, but I find myself always switching back to sense roms because of the camera. I havent used a nexus 4 persay so I can't comment on that
