Whats the best rom for now?

Hey,
at the moment im running nightlies latest version.
But im searching for something more stable, and maby faster.
Its hard to folow witch one is the best there are so many different once.
So Someone who tried most of em? With one is the best
Tnx allready!
Greetings

Hi I'm using Gueste 2.1 (with SR1 kernel, Go Launcher and the ICS theme from the subforum). Overall it's a great ROM, the battery use graph says i'm using it for 4 days (2G, 45min wifi, 25min calls and some photos) with 1 charge . That's insane, i've only managed to get 1.5-2 days with stock. Speed is better than stock, but it is not buttery smooth in Settings menu. I'm waiting for Gueste 2.2 with the new kernel, developer says it will be smoother. Hope i helped!

Well, instead of running cm nightlies you could try CM7.2 kangs those are better than the nightlies and also more stable.

You people that have the option to turn 3g off are lucky my network forces it so if its switched off i lose network coverage, they only allow 2g switch if your not in a 3g zone which is rare so my battery gets eaten in a day.

i agree eith you. cm 7.2 is real stable, but sometimes i got bsod. its real smooth and fast. im not turning off my wifi. battery life is not so good.imho

Hello!
Define best rom!?!
It is last but not least a question of taste.
All the latest ROMs (CM7.2-RC0-KANGs, MIUI 12+, custom roms based on stock source V20m and up) seem to be pretty stable…
All have their pros and cons.
MIUI has a UI concept similar to iOS – if you like that – go for it…
CM7.2 has a more vanilla approach of gingerbread…
…or a stock source based rom (i.e. Gueste2x) with the look and feel of the original LG stuff, but with more speed and less bugs…
All these latest roms will do for everyday use.
I like CM7 most but that is just my cup of tea.

oke peaple tnx for your reactions !

Favourite ROMs Based On Performance, Battery Life and Appearance

hey all, im currently running virtuous quattro RC3 which is a really nice rom. Looks nice, good Battery life...
question is, is there better? i tried ARHD but the battery life was horrible, any ROMs that really stand out?

Battery life is so 'subjective' to how you use the phone, apps and data that you are going to get answers across the board.
I for one have found that ARHD and the stock 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs give 'me' excellent battery usage. I can get 2 days out of a single charge, which completely contradicts your experience, doesn't it?
Also CM7 has excellent battery life for my usage pattern, but I prefer the Sense camera app.

Cm7 I have to charge my phone once a day. I generally put it on charge at night before I go bed. But heavy usage will mean I have to charge as soon as I get in from work etc. ..... tbh for ner this is good my iphone needed to be charged in a morning then topped up at night. I havnt done too much with other roms to come up with justified comparisons.

If you want a sense 3.5 ROM I'd suggest you Virtuous Affinity, it's very stable and works great

It all comes down to preference and usage. Theres no perfect rom for everyone you just have to try and experiment
Personally im using MIUI, smooth, easily customized and battery isn't too bad about a day with: data on all day, heavy on texts, medium on calls and games occasionally.

Based on performance i say the trinity sensation and the ice cold sandwich would be nice but im not too sure about the battery life

I flashed Nik roms once and addicted to his roms since then, beautiful rom with built-in tweaks and excellent performance.
Currently ROM: Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL V 4.5 By Nikhil007 a.k.a Nikhil Dhayatkar

IceColdSandwich 5.5 ROM is the best
With minimal usage, battery has lasted 4 days and still on 40%

Agreed. 5.6 now too with working cameras.
Give it a whirl, you won't be dissapointed!

thats weird as... coz i left it in my pocket and it was using up about 1% everytime i looked at it which was about every 5 minutes

and thanks all for the replies, might have to try icecoldsandwhich, seems to be a hit

before i put icecold on, IceColdSandwhich vs Virtuous Quattro?

ARHD 2.2.0 have best battery life for me, more then enough for full day of heavy usage. Usually lasts for 2 days. I cant get even close results with other roms.

Ice cold sandwich is my favorite. After using 4.0, I can't go back to 2.3. ICS is just so much nicer looking and better performing IMO.

4 days? nice. ye, i ended up flashing Ice Cold 5.6

Best battery for me was ARHD with Sense elements removed, easily.
Best performing was CM7.1.
Best looking Ice Cold Sandwich 5.6 which I'm currently running now.
Favourite overall is Ice Cold; pretty damn good performance and decent (but not amazing) battery on Tiamat kernel.

i'm waiting CM9 lol

Ice cold sandwich does pretty good overall. Actually it has some minor things to fix but you need to see before you buy so you're gonna love it.

[Q] JB vs ICS vs GB for battery life

Is there really any deference between android versions in battery life?
And in your opinion what is the best ROM for battery life at all (including GB)?

Well everyone uses their own phone accordingly. I currently use AOKP ROM. I do not have a data plan. If i use my phone only for calls or messages, i cant last thru 2-3 days. If i play games or whatever, then a single full charge only gets me through 1 day.
Battery Life is very dependant on how you use your phone so there really is not a best ROM for battery life

I meant that for the same usage which ROM (or android version) gives better battery life?

hmmm... I guess the you get best on CM7, which is Gingerbread.

I used lacoste 4.1.2 jellybean Rom . I have about 1-2 days on WiFi and average use . It can be considered as a battery saving Rom . Have not tested out other jellybean Rom yet besides that

Afaik, most battery friendly ROM is CM7 nightly #146 (GB ROM). Somebody recently posted download link for it. If you can't find it, download one of these, it will do the job. In general, avoid Sense ROMs if you need good battery life.

+1 for Gingerbread 3 days battery, over ICS 2 days with light use.
that's with tbklakes stock GB rom verses tbklakes stock ICS rom, if i oc, scraping 2 days lol.
Addy

GB 3 Days
ICS 2 Days
With normal use

i think the best battery life is for gingerbread.

Gingerbread? mmm
with my phone, I had a quite good feeling about Jeally bean.. if you use a lot of data/3G traffic, gingerbread is not the best

Nik trinity Rom. Thread closed.

Thanks for responding.. tried it on the holics rom too and horrible battery life idk what it is I'm running the virtuous from and seems to be ok but on sence roms it drains fast it also has random drops from 20% to 12% or just dies I usually run the from for 3 days but the battery doesn't improve is this just a vivid thing or is my device damaged and using a lot of battery?

Also my my device gets very hot on those roms not the battery but below it I'm guessing the processor ?

It is possibly the processor because of the fact that you can overclock your processor on a custom rom.

I'm thinking the same as well it was quite frequent on those roms I dont think its a app because before I install my apps the phone is pretty much vanilla so I turned off some sync and dropped my CPU to 720 MHz or so and also lowered my gpu with kernel tuner. Hope this works

Side note if u don't love sense go with the virtuous rom its awesome.. coupled with nova prime its been the most flawless rom for me fyi s off at&t vivid.. really well made rom I haven't run into any problems using it..IMO the borked rom and virtuous rom are the most stable on at&t version of vivid

If anyone had this problem ill let u know how I fixed it.. just flash kosmik kernal and that's it works beautiful my battery now lasts all day with heavy use.. hope this helps someone

[Q] [Battery related] S3 Mini i8190L update from stock rom to custom, is it worth it?

Hi guys,
i recently sold my crappy Xperia Tipo (i goddamn hate it) and bought an S3 Mini, i love it, it's my first day with it, but i'm having serious issues with the battery life, it discharges too fast,
When i bought it i drained all the battery, then charged it (turned off) to 100%.... but still its draining too fast.
The phone is brand new... i don't know why it discharges so fast, it's on android 4.1.2:
Should i update to a custom rom? i would like to taste KitKat, that CM11...
Do you suggest it?

The battery is not our great ally here xD
But custom rom have bugs, no matter what ppl say.. they have and will have for a while...
IF you dont care about warranty and want to take the chance to improve your cell, yes, there are some good roms to upgrade Jelly Bean to KitKat or just update to 4.3
Personal, Maclaw have a great work done in his CM and Carbon (Don Like at all Slim or OAKP ) that work with kit kat, still in process; in the case of 4.3 dont know, i just did the jump from 4.1 to 4.4

I'm actually using Mac CM 11.0 and I have to charge it every night, the same as with a Stock ROM / based custom ROM. I'm actually doing around 5 to 6 hours calling and a little bit of Line/Whatsapp during the day.
It's faster, and I like Open Source ROMs the most, because of the design, but it's up to you.

hey guys,
the road so far:
I started rooting and installing TWRP recovery in my phone, then i updated to Maclaw Kitkat 4.4.2 and flashed gapps...
i noted that the phone improved just a little bit, because without the bloatware it's much better, i don't have any bugs actually...
From 5 am to 11.30 am it went down 3% without 3G, i went to sleep and lost 3 % that's a little bit better...
I suggest to do a full rom backup with TWRP and try a new custom rom, 4.4 or 4.3!!
leave this post open for if someone knows something else about the battery life.

Dont know much how long is battery life with the stock rom, bcause i started using the phone directly with the CM11 of maclaw. I am running the 20140120 version, and i am always reading about the news and comments of the last maclaw's release.. (think i will do an update soon..)
I see that battery life increase changing the governor ( abyssplug ) and the I/O scheduler ( sio ). I dont use wifi so much but often 3g data connection (chat, mail pushing, some internet surfing etc..) , listen music, make some photos... airplane mode during night!
after 1,5 day of use.. i should charge!
had an xperiaE before with a stock 4.1.2 jb and the battery life was greater... ( but is completely another device with another hw and os .. )

I'm kindda pissed of with the Xperia line, my friend had the Xperia U and smashed it across the hallway because after hours and hours of flashing new roms it always came down to poor...extreme poor performance haha.
What's the governor ?

governor takes control of which the CPU is used... there are a lot of threads about...or just google the word and you will find a lot of literature..
