UPDATE - So i discovered what provoques the baterry drainage in my prophet! And guess what, it's not the ROM fault... Check this post.
Hi!
For me one of the most important "features" of a cooked ROM is the battery consumption. What good is for me a rom that does a lot but i have to charge the phone every day?
So i have done some tests and these are the results i got but i also would like to ask that all you users of cooked ROMs post your results to get a environmental friendly ROM
With the WM6.1 ROMS (all of them, clean or not, Cloudyfa, hma4 and korands) i got 4% per hour of battery drain.
With the WM6 ROM (Crystal V5.1) i get 2.5% per hour of drainage.
The fact is that Crystal is not a clean ROM, so the drainage does not seem to be related to that.
After some reading i checked a conversation between Cloudyfa and hma4 and they were mentioning a difference in using "DLLs"(Cloudyfa ROMs) or "modules"(hma4 ROMs) and also images weight(hma4 ROMs).
So, is the battery drainage related to the WM battery drivers or to these "modules" and light images that hma4 uses?
I really love all these new WM6.1 ROMs, and i love because i tried them all, not just talking about the post thumbnails, but the battery drainage is high. I offer to be a beta tester of a less hungry ROM!
Hope i made my self clear as i'm not english
Thanks.

I have tried almost WM6 Released and also WM6.1. But for me, the battery drain seems not too different, the Prophet last around 2 days for normal using with WM6 or WM6.1
So from my opinion the battery drain is not big issue in WM6 and WM6.1.
Correct me if i am wrong.
Cheers

With all the WM6.1 i had a 4% per hour consumption in Standby! So about 24h of autonomy in standby.. I forgot to mention this in the original post. I think its not the battery running old because i get better results with Crystal5.1..
yes it's true, I also noticed that battery drains faster when I switch from Korand 2.6 to 3 or shadow 2.0 ce.
there must be something that drains the battery faster, a driver...smthn.
hope our great cooks will sort this one out too.
thanks for cookin' and keep it up!
just to let you guys know, I'm having the same 'problem'.
Battery drainage is way higher since i'm using WM 6.1 even though I just bought a brand new battery. Like in the opening post with me it also almost doubled.
Battery consumption it's ok on my JAMin with Korand 3.1 ...

Could you please be more specific?
With Korand 2.5 (on stand by)I have 1% per hour like with Korand 3.1
The best Battery consumption I have ever had was with Crystal 5 (0,5%/h but it was too unstable for using it seriously)
Different OEMDrivers hava differnet battery consumption.

1%??? That's very low... I don't have that even with Crystal5.1. One thing i remember is that WM5 battery autonomy was very high.
This leads me to:

Is it possible to use WM5 drivers on these new ROMs to get better autonomy? (i'm a programming ZERO )
I get the same problem with battery drainage using WM6.1. My Prophet (Xda Neo) got ~2% per hour using WM6.1 (ShadoW 2 CE/TE, Korand 3) but got less than 1% per hour (around 2% per 3 hours) using ShadoW 1 CE.
I was wondering why it does this way, too.
P/s: I forgot a little thing: the number I've posted is the one I got when my Prophet in Standby mode
Possibility source problem for battery drain
All,
Actually i still don't get the main problem since all of you only talking about WM6.1 drain problem.
To understand that WM 6.1 has bigger battery drain, can you inform which WM6.1 cause the battery drain issue at your prophet, is it for all wm6.1 ?
From my opinion, wm6.1 Clear Edition will have less battery drain since it is not load many application during standby such as HTC Home and other applications running in the background.
Can you inform the WM6.1 Version and the battery drain, so we can have better solution for which caused the battery problem.
Cheers

In my case i spent a whole day flashing and taking notes.
Method: Flashed the ROM, Hard Reset and then tested battery for 1 hour in Standby mode.
I had these drainage results:
STANDBY:
[WM6.1]
ShadoW 2.0 CE and TE: 4% / hour
Korand 3.1: 4% / hour
[WM6]
Crystal 5.1: 2.5% / hour
I tested other ROMs but based on ShadoW ones and the results were similar to the "original" ShadoW.

I don't know if this applies as Crystal 5.1 has HTC Home by default.

Now i try to test by myself using Korand 3.1 to My Prophet....
I will compare WM6 and Wm6.1 Battery drain, My Prophet with Korand 2.6 last around 2 days with standard using without HTC home, and when i use HTC home the prophet only stand 1.5 days...
Now I am trying Korand 3.1 hope 2-3 days ahead can have the result for battery drain....

Last night in less than 9 hours my battery went from 90% to 0%!!!! I was using Shadow_TE_My_Edition. Now I am back to my old wm6 version. Also BT was not working.

Please try to be the most comparative as possible. Because we can only have faithful results by comparing with other ROMs.
HTC Prophet is an "old" device so the battery after 3/4 years will start to "die".
First of all my battery is not old (less than 1 year) and I have never had this experience with my other wm6 (with touch or without) roms. My current rom is better in battery consumption, that's why I reverted back. In this rom (see signature if you want a comparison) everything works fine.
i will wait until a next version.

are you sure?
I use battery for two days.(with many calls), sometimes for 3 days. If there are a lot of programs that running on the background.. It will take more battery drain.. So make sure that you close the program.
And which RADIO ROM do you use?
okay..you use 2.47 as your radio rom.. it takes more battery drain.
I use 2.19 --> good for battery life.
Where can i download different radio versions?
From what you said i presume that radio roms are independent from flashing OS ROMS?
win6 have high battery using or win 5 ?
not shure because I havn't had WM5 on my Prophet for 1 year. But the rom I'm running now Throttle III test rom witch is WM6.1 has gone from 100% to 70% in 24 hours (not heavy usage).
and also not all roms have the same apps inside so there is realy no way to tell if it's more heavy then wm5.
the answer would be yes and no to that question.
My Xda Atom originally comes with an 1530mah( XP-02) battery and its performance is terribly short. I have seen some advertising for the high capacity batteries up to 3500mah. So are those batteries fraud or have anyone try them before and give me advice.
Thanks for reading anyway
Battery Preformance
i have tried the orginal battery which comes with ATOM LIFE XP-09 and its better than XP-02 but both are sucks.. i have tried many other brands and most are sucks too.. good news that am testing new battery XP-02 2100Mah and its double size the orginal battery size and until now everything works fine but still testing.. good thing its last for 2 days until now and still have 50% still testing,,bad thing ur slim nice atom will be little fater!!
enjoy my new battery pics
might cause problems due to excessive heat
i've read from one of the post that extended battery create much heat and leaves our dear love atoms into unstable state, possible permanent damage. let us know how it turns out...?
it's definitely good bye, to my metal casing/protector, if this extended battery is any good...
so did anything happen here? how did it turn out? is the battery really good? please help on this as I am also trying to get an extended battery any feedback will be appreciated

yusack.... the abovementioned battery widely available in ebay, but pls do some research on the buyer itself first to avoid any unnecessary things.
however I still curious regarding about its performance... is it really worth it?
atom battery
I have XP-02, 3.7V 1530mAh battery with my Atom phone, now the battery backup is low and I would replace it with some new battery with same, but it does not support the phone. I really worried about my battery so please some one suggest me to where do i find the new good battery with support.

hey, i have facing same problem, but after some time i try something different, i have 1530mAh battery and its backup is so short then after buy a new battery from hong kong via internet with 2200mAh and its amazing backup and no problem to use in o2 atom.
1st time
Atom Lovers, may i ask how long or how short does your ATOM long last?
i just have mine last week as a gift from my brother (he used it 1st).
i upgraded the rom and satisfies me.. but its the battery that annoys me..
i have this XP-02 also, and i can only use it about 2hours(full charge)?
i have tried the orginal battery which comes with ATOM LIFE XP-09 and its better than XP-02 but both are sucks.. i have tried many other brands and most are sucks too.. good news that am testing new battery XP-02 2100Mah and its double size the orginal battery size and until now everything works fine but still testing.. good thing its last for 2 days until now and still have 50% still testing,,bad thing ur slim nice atom will be little fater!!

Someone could say what it has to do with upgrading?
Well, it has because I need battdrvr.dll from Atom Exec or Atom rom.
My story is like this: I bought a battery for XDA Atom Life -
Model No.: CS-XP02L, Part: AHL03715206 603FS20152, XP-02, and my device (actually it's driver) can't recognise the battery and in batt status it shows "battery status unknown".
I tried several things, but it seems that even though this batt fits my device perfectly, have the same params as my old XP-09, it's from other Atom.
I suspect it is from Atom Exec and therefore I'm searching for it's battdrvr.dll file to change it with my current.
If someone could post here a batt driver, I'd be very grateful.
I have a 2400mAh batery on my Atom Life and I'm pleased with it. 4 days in stand by, I think theat's enough. I bought it from e-bay . The original 1 it's sucks. 1 day I think.
