A family member just purchased an Evo 4G with Sprint and promptly brought it to me to see if I knew how to root it, since I've such great success with my HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T. I rooted successfully using AutoRoot v2.5 and the device has SU rights and I've got SetCPU installed, (Max 998mhz, set on demand, 245mhz at idle), and the only add-on I installed was Beautiful Widgets Small Home for weather, which updates once an hour, and the Beautiful Widgets 4-day forecast. The phone is working fine, she called earlier and said it performs all functions and she loves how it navigates, but its KILLING the battery... she's indicating that it's dropped from 100% (overnight charge) to 89% in just 10 minutes of only texting. An hour later the phone is already at 64%. I installed the myn-WarmTwoPointTwo-01-07-2011-RLS5 ROM.
What general recommendations can the community make for a solid ROM that's known to be easy on the battery? She works 12 hour shifts and it needs to be able to survive without recharging, or what modifications I should make to the current ROM?
Last night was the first time I was able to ever play with an EVO, and it's pretty much the same as my Inspire, but it was KILLING me that the power and volume keys are on opposite sides....
Thanks in advance, all.
Change the kernel I would try one of natarchy's maybe 4.3.2 or 4.3.4 sbc cfs havs more.
The sbc on the kernel will let it change to a 100% the stock evo kernel will only go to like 98 maybe 100% but if left on the charger it will stop charging and start to drain but will still say 100% thats why you get that fast drop.

Ya your right thats mybad. But on the title it says "
Best Recommended ROM" lolz
Yeah, I honestly have NO idea what kernel it's running at the moment, as she's not here yet. So do you think the ROM I'm using is good, but the kernel needs updated? Or would it be better to go with a whole new ROM/Kernel combo?
@jadden - I was having a hard time understanding some of your acronyms, as I'm still fairly new in this arena. Would you be so kind as to include links?
Thank you guys SO much for the quick responses!!
rom is great. Evolution battery is crap unless you wanna use a hero on evo.. tell her to buy extra batteries with external charger. There you go. I last all day.. just have to carry a battery around(purse)
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

download that put on the evo sd card dont extract it just drag it as a zip on the sd card and go to recovery and go to wipe cache then install zip from sd choose that zip then when its done installing reboot and now you have a custom kernel.
I would flash calkulin evio3 rom, and then flash the new htc kernal that's from the new sprint ota, this combo gives me great battery life and calks roms are awesome.

Always make a back up of the phone before flashing just in case you run into problems.

Give Deck's a try. It is basically CM7 but optimized for the Evo. I hear the battery life is great with SZ kernel, but I have also heard it currently kills read/write speeds to the sd card.
I personally run Deck's with without flashing another kernel. Battery life is superb.

I agree with this idea. I tried Decks with SZ kernel as well and got awesome battery life. I have since switched back to CM7 for other reasons (still with SZ 2.2 kernel) and still get great battery life. I would recommend one of those combos 100%. Hope all the ideas everyone's been throwing out helps.

Hello everyone,
Complete noob here tried doing some searching and lots of reading but I could not quite answer my questions. I have an Evo running the just released root (plain default ROM?). I am looking to install a new ROM/Kernel and my primary focus are:
1. Stability
2. Battery Life
3. Performance
4. Features
There are a TON of ROM and Kernel releases and its more then a bit confusing. I've been concentrating on the CM6, Fresh, Evio and Backed Snack. I was planning on using CM6 (it seems highly respected and optimized for stability and speed) but I use 4G all the time and HDMI now and then.
At least at this stage in my research I had Fresh 3.2 as my second choice with Evio/Bakedsnack tied for third (again this is not a review and strictly based on just what I've been reading about these and my take away impression at this time). I don't mind playing around with these to find one that I like but I wasn't sure which Kernel I should use. Are there particular ROM + Kernel versions that are highly respected (keep in mind my priorities above)?
Anyway thank you all for your time and assistance
With your requirements I would recommend the stock 2.2 ROM with the netarchy toastmod kernal. You can get Titanium Backup and go to settings and enable "Chuck Norris" mode to delete some of the Sprint Bloatware you don't want. Just be careful not to delete anything that you don't know what it is (Google Talk is a good example since it controls your market downloads). If you insist on a custom ROM go for Baked Snack with the matching netarchy kernal. It's a nice Rom.
Haven't used too many stock ROMS lately, but you're looking for a good custom ROM Baked Snack is a great choice. I use Baked Kernel #5 and get great battery life and also no noticeable loss in speed.
I used CM6 for a while, but wasn't to happy with it. The EVO seems like it is just to complicated for them. No disrespect intended Team Cyanogen is amazing, but there are still a lot of kinks to work out in AOSP.
Hope I helped.

Either fresh 3.2 or evio. I have used every Rom in here. Evio was my daily til Sprint apps were not updating. He is fixing that. But 3.2 fresh is the best Rom I have used to date hands down. I used kings #8 the with it. As for baked snack. He rocked eclair but not so on froyo. Just ran 1.7 pfft waste of 2 hours. Kernel is messed up and so is Sprint tv. He smokes too much medical marijuana when programming lol. Not against a little thc but it shows in his latest roms in my opinion. I have a hard enough time typing when I am that high lol

I have tried CM6, nectarchy's Burnt Dorid, and Virus new Carbon rom, but none have pleased me as much as netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 final build.
This is by far my favorite rom, i have been testing a bunch to see what give's me the best result, so far with this rom and with netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs kernel my genius phone flies while being clocked at 1.19, i would not suggest higher then that as my phone freeze's after 1.19, i haven't found a kernel yet that is as perfectly matched to this rom as is 4.1.9. cfs
thanks netarchy, best setup IMO.

Ok so I ran Fresh 3.2 with stock kernel and was impressed how stable (short term heavy use) and easy to flash. I was finally able to flash CM6 but only after running the NAND unlock flash I found on one of these forums. Only thing was that my bench was lowest on fresh followed by the stock and then CM6 was highest. CM 6 is fast and has some cool features but overall it just didnt fit me. I'm going to try fresh and kings #8 next followed by the netarchy suggestion.
Thank you all for your help! I have to say the friendlyness of this community to a new noob is refreshing!
I've tried out many, many ROMs since I got mine and I like EViO the best. Using EViO 2 1.2 Beta 2 with King's #8 BFS kernel.
Going to give EVIO a try next.
This was mostly on 3g with myns warm 2.2 RLS 5.

With that much awake time I would say so. Myn's is a pretty good rom. Looks like you got a conservative kernel running. I'd show this to anyone that says EVO's eat batteries!!
I'm running stock kernel lol. Not sure why but my phone hates HAVS kernels and setcpu individually. So I use neither. I thought wifi would save me battery but my life here seems better than 6 hours.

that kernel and setcpu profiles really helped me out. SBC hasn't failed me yet, obviously cause my house hasn't burned down
Yeah but from looking at the graph Jacoballen, you also used your phone, hence the android percentage, a lot more. So that is pretty good with the time considering how much you used the android system.
Yeah, I was amazed. I don't use sbc kernels simply because I don't charge my phone at all. I don't know why my phone doesn't tolerate HAVS though..

I have read and researched hundreds of pages on this site and have flashed a dozen roms and have a few that I keep in backups, but the crazy thing is is that most of the time I leave the stock kernel in place with what was built into the Rom. But if you haven't seen this page before, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719763, this is pretty awesome to have for options.
There is a link in there that brings you to netarchy's kernals and there are loads of them in there. I hear a few of them in there are awesome but the crazy thing is is that for some reason a kernal that is awesome on my evo might not be that great on yours even if we'd be on the same hardware version.

i rooted my phone instead of returning it because i would get about 5-6 hours out of a charge. if that didnt work, i was gonna drop in the toilet and blame my kid. turns out my 003 hardware or something internal actually hates htc kernals, but loves NA anything. before the sbc, i would run myn rls4 with more agg cfs and get 2.5 days out of it. since all roms seem to be coming with htc#15 now, i basically yank it right away.
i also use setcpu a lot for profiles, if not, i run calk 1.8 with battery scripts which seems to work. speaking of which, if anyone can assist in finding and editing them, it would be much appreciated
Hmm interesting, I might try that. I'm on 003 hardware also. Your aren't using an extended battery?

Personally.. I'm leaning towards Sense based roms more and more. They just have alot of the features I'm after and now that most are implementing other aspects of AOSP roms I'm finding more and more it's the way to go (ie. miui player, android mail vs htc etc, themed gallery etc.) I can make 2 recommendations right off the bat.
1. Koni Elite Series III - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055
2. King Cocoa True Blue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995410
I've played with so many roms I've lost count but I think with either one of those you'll find everything you are looking for. And I find that most themes will flash over them as well (Slayers cyan dragons and skulls theme is pretty sweet on koni's)
Every phone is different and not one seems to be the same as the next so as to recommend a kernel that is gonna take some testing on your part. I've given up on trying different ones as most cause nothing but boot loops and crashes. HTC #15 stock kernel plays the best for me. As for roms.. Keep on flashing.. It becomes addictive but you'll find what you like eventually. The work these cats have put into these roms are worthy of many a dollar so be sure to thank them for their work! Good luck , have fun!
thank you for the reply I really appreciate it...yes it is very true...rooting these guys is like taking away their chastity belts lmao....totally opens up the possibilities...i am super new to this don't even know what the good apps are and good folks on here helped me root my phone...definitely going with sence gonna check out those time in a bit

If you want a stable, fast and battery-efficient Sense ROM that cuts out a lot of the Sprint/htc cruft and still looks nice, check out Eternal Prophecy.
It has the best battery life of any ROM I've used and matches speeds with many of the best AOSP ROMs.
SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.8 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
ilove MiK and Myn
both are the best for me.
it really boils down to personal preference. there's no one true answer as to what is the best combination as it differs from person to person.
i'm enjoying CM7 with the Tiamat kernal. some people like SZ, some people like others..
yea, it's up to you.. try out a bunch and see what you like.

Went your route my friend Thanks for the input
CM7 + Tiamat kernel = 1day 9hrs battery life.
Fast, stable, good battery life, smooth....a perfect winner.
you should try Azreal x4.0 it is really fast and everything works
MIUI is very unique, runs on Gingerbread power. Warning - no 4G (yet).
Kernel is Tiamat 3.3.8 with SBC. I suggest that you use Kernel Manager, works pretty well.
Oh, and if you're a flashaholic, be sure to condition your battery. Charge to 100%, go into recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot phone, when it boots to the desktop unplug the phone and don't plug it up until the battery is fully dead. Then charge it to 100% again. Boom. Better batter.
Who likes SBC kernels and who feels there not healthy on your battery and phone?
Gonna do a poll and see who likes and doesn't.
I never used them worried it cook my battery or phone... lol that's just me
Well I have been using sbc for a while now... And my battery gets just as hot as it used to before.
Gangsters arent afraid of hot batteries
Here's my 2 cents about SBC kernals if anyone cares...hahaha
I've been using SBC kernals for a while now and the trick is to be smart about it! If you use one, don't set your CPU governor on performance and set your MIN/MAX to the very MAX because you'll be one of those people we all read about...hahaha....I set my governor on smartass and set my min at 128 and my max at 921, everything run smooth and I could use any app without any problems! Over clocking just to do it is like bragging about benchmarks....is just stupid!
...or better yet, just don't use SetCPU......

There's probably about 2 people who reported sbc messing up their batteries :rolls eyes: . I've been running sbc for months with no issues whatsoever.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I used to be scared of it, but decided to give Tiamat SBC a try about a month ago. Everything has been great. I'm now a believer!
I've been using SBC kernels since the release and havent had any problems what so ever!
I've been using it for months and it works great. I use the battery monitor widget to confirm that is working great. If you actually read the threads about it, you will find there there isn't actually any danger to using it and it was all a bunch of hype about nothing.
I'm indifferent about it, I hear the pros/cons from both sides and really don't care either way. While I have used both SBC and non-SBC kernels, my personal preference is non-SBC. That said, I also only run on the stock battery and have plenty of places to charge my phone both at home, work, and on the road.
If a kernel only has SBC and I like that kernel, I'll use it. If a kernel doesn't offer it and I still like that kernel, then I'll use that kernel. SBC isn't a make or break feature for me.
The choice is yours, use whatever you like. Try them both, it's easy to do.
I used it before it was cool and safe, y'all be posers
Been running SBC kernels since the moment they popped up . Seidio 3500 battery has kept up and hasnt lost charge capacity at all since then either . I swear by them and refuse to go back to a regular charging kernel

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'm not sure if you can just say best battery life is XXX as everyone's usage patterns are different and different aspects drain the battery faster than others. I have found Dewizzed to give me the best life out of all of the ones I've tried, but I don't get near the time that many post in that thread. The one difference is that when they post their usage stats I never see "Voice Calls" in the top half of the apps using battery, whereas if I look at mine right now Voice calls is #1 at 53% and Display is #2 at 18%. I use my phone heavily as a phone during the workweek, others use it as a media device, others gaming...you get the idea.
Try Dewizzed and try a couple of others. It's easy to flash and then restore or go back to one that works better for you (plus the geek in me thinkgs that is fun too).

The one difference is that when they post their usage stats I never see "Voice Calls" in the top half of the apps using battery, whereas if I look at mine right now Voice calls is #1 at 53% and Display is #2 at 18%. I use my phone heavily as a phone during the workweek, others use it as a media device, others gaming...you get the idea.
Try Dewizzed and try a couple of others. It's easy to flash and then restore or go back to one that works better for you (plus the geek in me thinkgs that is fun too).

How about NO ROM? I am using stock right now, but using Faux #009 mainstream Kernel. I was running Jugg 4.1 before, but went back to stock after having some issues with texts not going through.

WOW! thats pretty impressive. what's your time on display?
I was wondering the same thing. But more along the lines of which rom kernel combo people are running. Now to hijack original posters thread, but if people could also put what kernel they are running too. The best I ever got was BeastMod with Synergy, but once he left the building I don't feel like any of the other ones have been as good.

That tells us little, click on display and show us how much time the display has actually been on
From my experience, it is not necessarily the rom that effects the battery life as much as the kernel does. Every rom I have installed I end up changing the kernel to synergy 10 and see a big increase in battery life.

+1 on the syngery kernel.
+1 on Synergy kernel
Juggernaut was OK for battery life, much better than stock, but I couldn't be any happier than with BeastMOD and synergy kernel.

Display time on and brightness? From the graph it doesn't seem like you used the phone for too much and we don't know how bright your screen was, time on voice calls and any other applications. Why is it that people don't know how to post battery life correctly? Your wifi was on most of the time and wifi uses less battery than data connectivity plus we don't know the type of reception you were receiving. Edge consumes less battery than 3G. These are all factors that need to be taken into consideration to draw a clear conclusion on your battery life.
