It true, i would leave my phone there. Not doing anything and an hour later my phone had lost like 25%!
1) do a proper battery calibration
2) take a good look at your apps, there are lots is poorly coded apps that drain battery.
3) do all tests on a stock kernel (not overstock or cw)

I have Trigger and I think it's the best Rom. I found that when phone is in idle battery drains really slow but when display is on battery drains very very fast.
How do we do a proper battery cailberation?
Try Darky's 9.3 Final for vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973811
It's 2.2.1, not 2.2; but it's similar, stable, fast and good battery life.
Personally, I love it and generally get a good day's use with a good amount of operation time.
Then download "Super Manager" from the market and use the widget that comes with it. It's the most reliable and effective task killer I've ever used. Make sure to enable root permissions and check the "clean system memory" (or something like that) box in the settings of the app.
For themes, go to the i9000 forum and
1.) download the theme you like (should say if it's for Darky's 9.3)
2.) Explore the file and delete the "services.jar"
3.) do a Nandroid Backup (as usual)
4.) flash it.
5.) Enjoy =D
Hope this helps your search!

Hey what ROM did you write that doesn't blow? Just askin, since the guy who has spent a ton if his time writing one that rocks, but you think blows, just dropped some pretty good advice on you without a hint of insult.
Every time I see one if these lame childish posts I ask myself: Why do parents give their preteens Android phones?!?

You're running some apps that drain your battery. I've gotten 30 hours plus from both Trigger (older version) and the latest Bionix. On the newest Trigger right now and it's even better.
Are you in a low signal area? Are you using screen brightness on high? Are you leaving wifi on when not connected to a network? There are lots of things that can cause poor battery life. I can assure you it's not the ROM.
Sweet Honey 2.5 running 2.2.1! by far the best.
Battery life is amazing and signal is great.
running it stock install OS 1.4.1 kernel and ka6 modem.
I have the same question like u, I want to find a really amazing ROM too
First off, asking a question like that you will never get a straight answer.
Reason being: If everyone thought the same ROM was the best and only used the one ROM, there would be no need for the other ones on there.
The right answer is going to depend on what you are looking for. More speed? More battery? or somewhere in the middle.
I have run most of the current ROM's from EDT, and TW. They are all pretty damn amazing. What is going to make more of a difference will be what Kernel you are running. Also, if you OC (overclock) or UV (undervolt). There are going to be other things that will eat battery. Mainly apps, mail, and anything else that depends on wireless data when the phone is idle.
read, read, read.... I was once a NOOB, and by all accounts, still am one. (just a noob that has flashed a lot and read a lot in these threads)
what an arrogant and stupid way to start a call for help thread by insulting one if not the best custom rom out there. Seriously try thinking brfore making such an idiotic statements.

The best rom I have used is Atriac v2. I like Team Whiskey roms.
Atriac is just as fast with Voodoo disabled as it is with it enabled. Quadrant benchmark is slower with Voodoo disabled but as many others have said Quadrant isn't an accurate gauge.
I have one app that used to take at least 5 seconds to load. Lag fixes greatly reduced the apps load time. Atriac with Voodoo disabled loads that app just as quickly as using a lag fix.
Besides being the fastest, Atriac is the smoothest rom I have used.

First man, don't insult the Dev's on here. They all spend their time developing Rom's, Kernels, Themes and many other great things for our phones. Insulting them does not help you get your problem solved and makes people not want to help you. We love our Developers here and show them respect for the work they do for us. Whenever you have a problem with a ROM don't insult the Developers work rather first see if it is truly the ROM or if it is user error (no offense intended). Next if you still don't like the ROM then flash a new one. There are plenty to choose from. I personally use Simply Honey 2.5 with Overstock 1.5. Battery life is good, super smooth and really snappy. Give it a shot hopefully it might answer your questions and be what your looking for.

Hey guys,
I'm no babby to installing beta software or flashing or any of this business. However, I'm just wondering if CM7 is ready for so-called "prime time" on the Atrix yet. I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor or webtop at all. Sans those two things how is everything else working on there these days? How is battery life and overall system stability?

From my experience its great. Battery life is identical to a blur rom, and performance is very good. Also no stability issues that I've seen.
It's my daily driver. Best experience on the Atrix yet for me. Battery life is great. I usually get through the whole day. now that it's merged it should just get better and better. I'd suggest it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Just do it.... it's technically out of beta now.
Only things that don't work:
- Finger Print Scanner
- Webtop
- Horizontal HDMI Mirroring
- Dock Audio
As far as battery goes, that's pretty much subjective from user to user... also depends with kernel you decide to run... if you want good battery life on CM7, might want to try Faux's enhanced stock kernel & add some undervolting.
When you say, dock audio, does this just mean the audio cable that splits off of the power cable doesn't work? Does Bluetooth audio still works when it's the car dock?

Thanks guys. I went ahead and flashed it and loving it so far!
I'm glad you flashed it! I was really hesitant to leave the safe, stable world of deblurred roms and venture into fingerprint-scanner-less world of CM7. However, with it out of Beta I finally took the plunge and it opened up a whole new world to me. Now having taken the red pill, I can never go back.
CM7 is without a doubt the most powerful rom available. It is so good that it makes me hesitation regarding lack of fingerprint scanner silly.

I flashed the new version and i dont know what is happening but mine is too slow to scroll apps, change screen, etc. Does anyone here is happening samething?
I'm using CM7 and am blown away by the speed,features, and how clean it is.
There naturally are quirks, as its still in beta. The only major issue I've had is lack of ability to control permissions.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I had similar issues. I think they're related to the cooked in ADW Launcher. I just replaced it with Launcher Pro, and my homescreen and app drawer scroll smoothly and quickly.
As much as I love CyanogenMod its a no go for me.
The only reason I use the Atrix 4G and consider it a superb smartphone is because on Webtop and Fingerprint Scanner. Whitout those two key things, I might have moved to something else like the SGS2.
Too bad those features are not priorities for CyanogenMod devs I presume.

Why don't you use Aura or Alien or any of the other custom ROMs that DO have those features? They're still way faster and leaner than the stock moto builds.
Hey guys! I'm excited to be here and I hope I get some good advice. (Who am I kidding? I KNOW I will!)
Anyway, I recently bought my HTC Amaze 4g for T-Mobile and I think I am in love. But I soon realized that I was getting about 2 hours of moderately heavy battery usage before it was giving me battery warnings. So I rooted, and installed Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 and my battery life has been much better. But, being the impatient newbie I am, I installed it before I read that it was a bit out of date. Basically, what I want is a ROM that is up-to-date, highly supported, has great battery life, is very fast, doesn't have a
sht load of bloatware, and is extremely stable. Hopefully this isn't asking to much from the developers here at XDA. So, any of you had this sort of experience with a ROM?
Thanks guys!
i say go with xboarders bulletproof rom, he will be updating it probably today, i was so impatient i just flashed w/e he has up now, and its amazing!, as for as battery life goes, i cant say anything as of yet. Only had the rom running for a few hours.

+1 thanks for the quick reply! I will look at bulletproof. Maybe you could get back to me when you know about battery?
My opinion is one of xboarders since they are based on the most recent firmware and are pretty stable.
If you want Sense use Bulletproof.
It has CRT animation and a fixed advanced power menu.
If you want AOSP-like (still technically Sense... just some HTC stuff removed like Rosie) use BeastMod.
Also with CRT and advanced power menu (i believe).
As far as I know he is the only developer that actually owns the device and is good at maintaining the support in his forums. It's difficult to support and keep up to date with a device that you don't own. That's probably why Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 is out of date.
That's just my opinion.

Lol I didn't want to wait either, but I was so tempted. I had to flash it. Totally worth it, I had wifi bug, instead of posting around like a noob I read and saw I had to flash boot that was provided with the rom, I say go for it. Its really stable and INSANELY SMOOTHLY

Okay got it working. Just had to flash another kernel.
Try ics rom for amaze ..aka fourth bar sense rom.. its great on battery and boots faster..phones seems to be faster. Only thing ur prolly Gna miss is the HTC sense..everything else works great.

Hey everyone, I am going to be trading some services (a mechanic is doing my breaks in exchange for me rooting and custom romming his lady's phone) and would like to know what your opinion is on the best thunderbolt ROMs available? She is currently on stock software and hates absolutely everything about her phone and how it behaves.
What would you guys recommend? I'm looking for functionality, reliability, battery life and the smallest amount of software bugs as possible.
Tweaked stock ROMs? AOSP? CM7 or 9? I know nothing about the thunderbolt community and would greatly appreciate any info you can give me.

Leaving it on a stock rom unless you plan on maintaining the rom for her..If she has no idea what shes doing then dont cause a headache for yourself, with techs its nothing to change out a rom, or if it gets buggy, well you get the point... the best thing would be a factory reset, or check the memory on the phone she prob has to many apps, install the apps from the sd card to free up the memory cuz im on a stock rom and its way fast, great battery, most of all the battery issues are from apps..just trying to save you a down the road..
I would go to the dev section of this forum and look at the ROMs and see what catches your eyes its opinion over opinion when saying stock is better than custom tons, I myself like custom roms because you can choose a wide variety of tweaks etc etc

Definitely a stock based ROM, like Zues. AOSP's battery life isn't as good as Sense (to no fault of the amazing devs of course).
I also suggest Imoyeson's leankernel 5.1.0GB in battsaver mode. Amazing performace with amazing battery life.
I also recommend Zues. ran it for a month straight no problems. only switched roms to see what else is out there
BAMF 1.11 with kernel+++ and turn off task manager at startup. Since I've installed the latest version of BAMF I've had zero fcs, great battery life and good speed. I'm a tech all day long with Windows PC and understand little about behind tor scene android functions. BAMF seems most reliable and low maintenance. Remember every phone responds different to the same os. It's just like gas every kia responds different to bp gas.

And possibly bricking your phone and having to fork out 150 bucks for a new phone. Sure you can do it for the split sec speed adjustment, because you can lol? Is it really worth it? And trust me I was a flashoholic on EVO . I can def see rooted users running into issues with system updates..

I have the same problem!! thanks for your reply.
If rooting isn't for you and you're just gonna talking about the risks then why are you here? You already know what comes with root and the things you can do..if you're happy without it then that's great. it isn't necessary to bang on anyone who chooses to root for whatever reason they choose.
Most people who root aren't gonna run into issues with "system updates".
I root because I like to have control of what apps are on my phone, whats running and what isn't. What's jacking my data and killing my battery. I like using adfree to block some of the more annoying ads .. I like the tweaks, I like the option of de-bloating, I like (if we get it) AOSP options like CM9 and MIUI, I like the ability to theme and change status bar icons/notification pulldown etc etc. I root more for the customization than the performance boost, because honestly, there isn't much but it is there.
Later in the life of the phone, I really enjoy the ports from newer phones and newer software..gives me a taste of what another phone might be like and if it's worth my time. The funny thing is, the Sense4 port on the evo3D ran better than this phone at first..but it has settled down and cleaned up since, with the help of root.

Phones don't brick because of devs. They brick because of stupid users.
These devs are class acts. Trust them.

Would you reroot if you bricked your phone? I just don't know the devs good enough to trust there roms are brick free.. I haven't seen any devs from EVO yet to work on this one

Flipz was on the evo. Did you know the Evo devs before you flashed their roms? This is my 4th android phone, all rooted. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to root again even if I somehow bricked my phone. I know the risks, you have to do something pretty silly to hard brick your phone.
This isn't some unknown bootleg pirate website, XDA is legit as it gets and most devs are recognized in one way or another.

Most the bloatware on this phone isn't that problematic.. it doesn't chew up CPU usage or batt life from the graphs I monitor?? Why am I here? To stay up to date with any new things for this phone, to check out the new accesseries for the phone.. Matter of fact I found the cruzerlite case thanks to these forums! Many things to do on these forums than just find root links...

You know that these phones have auto correct right? I'd make more use of it seeing as how accesseries isn't a word. Anyway I found that ad away is more than a good reason to root.

I came from the 3D, and before that, the original Evo 4G. I rooted my 4G a few months after getting it, when I discovered the development community. I then proceeded to install just about every ROM that got released, regardless of what it was. I ran that poor phone into the ground with the amount of flashing I did.
I then moved on to the 3D, which I rooted just as soon as it was charged enough. I got lucky and got an hboot 1.4 version (I bought the phone right after this last Christmas). By the end of that day I was running on Warm 2.3. The following weeks found me trying out tons of different ICS ROMs, and whatever was available. I stuck with that phone until this phone released.
When I first got the phone, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to root it. I knew that there were some benefits to rooting and installing a custom ROM but I just didn't feel that it was worth it anymore. I used to flash a ROM (or two) a day, but now I don't even feel like rooting my phone. Why not?
I got tired of the hassle involved. It's great fun to try different ROMs, but it's so much to keep track of that it makes using the phone almost like a chore. Having to check for tiny updates every day in order to get the best experience is cool at first, but after a while the effect started to wear off on me. At this point I don't really see the merit in installing a custom ROM that will give me a couple of extra features. Sure, quick settings is cool. But I haven't had a single performance issue, the multitasking doesn't bother me, and the battery life is stellar. My benchmark scores are just about the same as other ROMs, and I'm sure my battery life is as well.
Rooting isn't for everybody. It certainly is something that I enjoy, and I am sure that I will eventually root this phone. But I've found in this past month or so that I can enjoy my phone just fine without changing every little bit about it. This phone is a great device, that I believe doesn't require rooting to enjoy. I personally feel that the only potential that can be brought out is in regards to Jellybean, since it is a step above ICS and we don't have it yet.
All of that being said, once we have a somewhat stable JB build, I will root and install that, because I want to try it. But OP, don't feel bad if you don't want to root. It isn't something you HAVE to do in order to enjoy your phone. Don't let other people tell you that you're stupid for not rooting it. Sure, it's a nice thing to be able to do, and I love it, but if you can't find a reason to root on your own, I would suggest that you don't do it. I know I won't until I can find that reason (JB).

Whenever I see terribly butchered posts sent from phones, I chuckle. These phones have auto correct, and their posts still look like that. Imagine if they were posting from an actual computer that didn't fix their mistakes. O_O

I didn't know I was In English class all over again but thanks for the heads up.. This topic was a mere curiosity to why you root. I know myn, virus, a lot of great kernal devs and ive yet to see them migrate to this particular phone yet. I rooted my EVO for performance issues. I don't see any issues with this phone. Now if your broke and want to illegally WiFi tether more power to ya.. Class dismissed.
