[Q] CM7 RC5.0.1 doubts

Why has squad chosen to use 604mhz over 600mhz? Does it make any difference?
And the battery drains REALLY FAST in this ROM. I just had 65% of charge and then in 10 mins 49%

practically it doesn't make any difference
and your battery will drain faster because of many factors e.g - if internet service is on

i have the same problem. even i am not using internet and the mobile data and wifi are disabled. it drained faster.

Try to charge your phone until it's 100%. Turn off your phone and charge it again (I'm sure it won't show you 100% and still charging). Wait until it's show you 100%.
i got my battery 4%. I charge it a few minutes (not more than 5) and I got about 40%. Wow. But drains faster.
I think it's the battery calibration which is wrong.

When flashing new rom better to calibrate your battery first,
or you dont know how to do it cause it seems like you dont know a thing you were saying,
may i ask you? How long have you been using squads rom?
Dont talk about battery life if you havent used the rom for a week
cause by then you wont see nor judge its battery life just like that,
and one thing if you have doubts, dont use the rom then. Lets just be thankful a guy like squad
is trying to hold on to this project and please this is a shout out for all you guys
stop comparing developers! Its not fair alright?! Anyways peace y'all

[Q] best roms for nexus 6??

Which is in your opinion the best rom to flash on the nexus 6 having stability no bugs and features????
Opinions pls

I think you'll find that for the most part, the majority of the ROMs here are pretty stable, but in the end it's up to you to decide which one you'll stay on. It's a very subjective choice

At that my friend, answers this question perfectly.

Liquid smooth
Or as stated any.

There is no best Rom like what eggydrums said. Asking this question is like going into a car store and asking what's the best car. One rom doesn't fit everybody's needs. Some people look for minimalism, or features, or whatever. There is no best Rom. Every rom has its own unique features, pros, cons.
But if you're looking for opinions, obviously I'd say my rom chroma. I provide support and literally reply to every reply in the rom thread. But it contains the essentials, nothing more and nothing less. Doesn't fit everybody's needs.

There're several ROMs which you can flash in order to see which one do you like the most

I usually just post this from evernotes
"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.
For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
"Best" Kernel
There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
Hope this helps

@rootSU I was thinking about making a copy paste of certain faq. Certainly not a bad idea haha. Usually threads with best are not allowed on xda as well

He just put 1.1 couple hours ago but it isn't the full update it is kind of a pre release for those just waiting lol. He has couple things left to do so probably by this weekend.
U will find 1.1 on page 51 if I remember correctly. If not i just reposted it at the end of the thread replying to someone.

Do you know the term "Your Mileage may vary?"
It applies to flashing anything...only you can determine how battery life affects you and how YOU use your phone..an errant app can screw your phone up as far as battery life and speed, as can a bad flash (dirty vs clean)...so....it is dependent on signal, use, apps, syncs, phone imperfections, and many other factors. Just read through the development threads and you will see many users report many different experiences...if there was a firm formula then every device would have a BEST ROM...which they don't and just for this reason.
Best bet is wipe the phone, clean flash your choice, try it for a couple of days to let it settle, then start adding back apps you use all the time.
Happy flashing!

Might try 1.1

+1... all the ROMS work great but its what you want that makes the difference. Performance? Themeing? Status Clock in the middle? Cyan or Blue colors? Everyone is different....

Most Popular ROM for Nexus 6

What is the most popular ROM for the nexus 6 that is stable and has a lot of goodies under the hood? I like CM12.1 but too many reboots on incoming calls and the unknown call history is a mess. Looking for a rom that is good and has some custom options.

A good rom for features is Chroma

When will people stop making these threads?! As the user started above, best is defined by each user. Download them and try for yourself... You have nothing to lose.

Would Custom ROMs Improve Battery Life?

Like the title says, does a custom ROM improve battery life compared to stock? The "Android OS" has been taking up more percentage of battery than the screen!! (33% whereas my Screen is only 27%)
PS: I'm planning to go for CyanogenMod 5.1.1 or Carbon 5.1.1

Go to virginity's ROM thread & read the features. It said "amazing battery life", blah, blah, blah... Too many advantages & mainly the battery life & customization. It's what you're looking for, right!!? Anyway it seems you're asking which is the best ROM. Read the XDA rules first please, it's not allowed to ask that. You must try them & decide which ROM is the best for your needs. Have fun

Yes. That's posible if the developer adding some tweak when build that's ROM

No custom rom can account for bad use.
If you load tons of apps syncing and waking the system "gona have a bad time"
Your Screen and 3G radio are the biggest pigs.

Just a screenshot from my totally light CM 4.4.4
I put the one cpu to sleep when i don't need it.
You can see how when the device was on "playing games" it ate like a pig.

How did you get so much battery life? I only get 7 hours on mine with that same rom, 7 hours of usage, not in stand by.
