Best battery saver ROMs - Desire General

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo

I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.

Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though

Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.

I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.

Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

Thanks for the info; need to do abit of research into this kernel business as I've seen them mentioned alot and nodded in agreement (I have no idea!)

Click the link to guides in my signature. Read the kernel info thread. May help

I don't mind if anyone throws me a pm in regards to seeking more out of the Desire.
And rootSU, we could always do a combined guide on the Desire and how to get the best out of it, if you like

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc

Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out

AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)

Battery Life on Neophyte's Rom

Which one has better life?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
neophytes rom compared to what ?, its definitely better than the default rom. I found that neophytes rom gave me excellent battery life =D
compared to NexTSense? i think NexTSense have good battery life. Never tried the Neophyte's Neophyte yet.
Oh sorry heh heh. I was in a rush a wasn't very specific. I meant between his two rom's. Anyone feel any difference between his stock based one and his sense based one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I switched from the normal one to the battery save, and noticed a distinct improvement in battery life.
That said, there are so many contradictory comments on threads about overall performance of different ROMs, the only way to find out is to give it a go on your phone.
I guess it is fair to say that the battery save version should be better, but you may not need it....
Battery save Roms only run up to 800mhz though
Having tried both I feel that Neophyte 1.6 is the best Rom for battery.
Alright thanks everyone. I'll give then both a try.

i run my NexTSense on 806mHz only..

CM 7.1 Best radio/kernel/hboot for battery life

Hi everyone,
First time flashing cm 7.1 stable. Pretty satisfied with the beast...but the battery life has decreased from 30h to 18-20h.
Do you recommend the latest hboot? Wich kernel? Wich radio?
What are your battery stats? Do you recommend nightly?
Thx peeps

Latest radio. As for kernel a lot of people suggests ManU. I personally use richardtrip's kernel right now.

How is your battery life doing? What about your signals strength.
Thx for sharing

I've been satisfied with my battery life. Its pretty much dependent on how you use your device so giving you an actual figure on how long it last isn't really necessary. But on my observation, its better to flash another kernel than use the one loaded with CM7.
In addition to the kernel, I use 2G and turn off data when I don't need to be connected and all that normal battery saving practices.
As for signal strength I'd say it's pretty good. I never worry about it since there is pretty much good coverage where I am at.
I'd recommend you don't mess with your radio unless you have to.
I'm using cm7.1 with latest radio (5.17.05.23) and the ManU havs-axi-cfs kernel.. It works a treat for me

What are the consequences of flashing a new kernel over the CM one?
Data lost? Any apps non-compatible? Less customization of the cm 7.1 ?

There is a little trick how can you extend life of battery to the maximum: Use your phone only in pitch black rooms. Satisfaction guaranteed!

None of that. Everything should work fine, maybe faster, maybe slower, may more battery life, maybe less... Just try.
Only make sure you are flashing an AOSP kernel and not a Sense kernel.
The hboot doesn't affect the baterry life. A2SD dos affect, as reading and writing in the sd drain a bit more battery than just in nand.
So the best hing is to use CM7r2 and not to use a2sd, and don't have thousand of stupid and useless apps.

New to rooting

Hi, I just rooted using Odin and installed jugs 4.1... What does busy box used for and do I need to install it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Also I'm just curious as to purpose of installing a ROM after rooting? So far In jugs I've noticed it's just a Lil faster and I know can change
Colors in my status bar and the lock screen but other than that phones seems to be pretty much the same...am I just not seeing the deeper behind the scene benefits? Sorry if this is a dumb question as this is my first rooted phone...and the wife is asking me wtf the point ado would like to give her good answer lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Busy box is a test to see if you are rooted; unless you are sharing big files.
If you have to be convinced to flash a rom I have no advice for you. Trust me its better
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
This is my first rooted phone as well and I notice big differences with roms. I was using Jugs4.1 for a while and my phone was way faster and had better battery life. Along with the quick toggles and ability to change the battery icon i felt like it was a very different experience. Right now I am trying out bombardier rom and the battery life is AMAZING!! I consistently get 20+ hrs and I am a pretty heavy user. Id say just try out different roms and then go back to stock and you should see the difference.

Give Eugene's Macnut Revenge a chance during your flashing.
Is that a ROM or kernel? Someone else suggested a Eugene kernel for jugs

Busybox is not a test to see if you're rooted............wtf with the false info.
Busybox is the source of most of the advanced commands associated with root access.
& to the OP
Please for the love of god, search next time. There is a bunch of topics already pinned about rooting.
Darkside's stuff is pretty impressive......

any rom that really have excellent performance and excellent battery??

Threads like this are not allowed. Try each ROM and see what you like. In general, sense ROMs have better battery life.

my question is which rom has best battery performance, your answer does not help at all...
Have you read the rules or my post? No 'best ROM' threads allowed. Honestly, I think all ROMs are good and the choice becomes quite subjective.

agreed, battery depends on usage a lot more than the ROM you are using, if you want better battery life, get a 3.14 based sense ROM (any you like the features of) and then install a custom kernel, n3o's or xm's then underclock and undervolt your CPU, lower screen brightness or auto values and don't install batter saving apps.
Mate I've not seen much of a difference. The new 4.2.2 though on sense defo has made a difference for sense roms. I think it's much of a muchness.
Ooo i have had an idea...why not
Try aosp
Try sense
And see the results. Im sounding sarcastic and there's a bit there but in reality that's the only way you will know by the way you personally use it like chappy above me said

So I just want a little tips from you guys based on daily used.
I would like:
-Good Battery Life
-Ultimate Gaming Performance that I can play Asphalt 8 (High) with no lag
Thank you guys and appreciate your suggestions...

You cannot have both at same time: heavy gaming will drain battery significantly, and good battery comes with sacrifying certain performance.
- If you prefer gaming, try XM kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731
- Good battery life, try Alex V kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226360
Also, make some tweaks (under/overclock) of cpu/gpu to best suits your needs, but do with caution as wrong settings can damage your phone.

Oh my...thank you so much. But after reading reviews about HOX heating up problems, maybe this time I prefer not to overclock.
Guess I'd go with Alex-V Kernel but what are the ROMs compatible with it? It didn't mention on the thread
