Okay so I'm looking for a good rom, with good battery (I need at least 16+ heavy / moderate usage), ffc on it (not optional since I could probably just flash the ffc mod.zip), and good performance (since I will be playing alot of games) so any opinions =]

Bi-Winning v3 with one of ECOTOX's DragonMODz kernel. I use the ULP version and get 40+ hours. He's got an OC version too if you OC. Won't get quite as good battery but still very good. I don't do a lot of games but lots of calls, text, and web. Wifi is on just about 24/7 too.
40+ hours god I would love that ...I'm actually on bi-winning v3 myself ...I have no clue what version I'm on ..but I guess I should check out that kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yeah again I don't do games much but I would definitely give his kernels a look. ECOTOX makes them with games in mind. They're really great.
Also, have you tried different modems? I get better signal with KB5, but better battery with KB1, so I have to choose between the two...

Is anyone else having the same problem as mine? how canI solve this?

Anybody else with this issue? Just upgraded to v 38 today and battery drain is severe.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Yeah dude, I have the same problem too. I thought it was just me.
Ya I'm burning though a 3500mhA battery in under 6 hours.
the android OS process is taking over 60% of the battery atm, not really sure whats up with that.
Good to know I'm not alone.
I had been running an older version for a while... v 32. Hadn't had a chance to upgrade lately. Performance of v 38 is dramatically better than what I was used to....but the battery is killing me.
I did a complete wipe before the install. Does anybody know if this is going to be addressed soon in v39 or should we drop down to v 37?

Also, fwiw, I've been having battery issues ever since I rooted my phone. it doesn't matter what ROM I choose, both Kaos & NonSik Froyo's have been rough on my battery. I even have Collins battery tweak running and that hasn't helped much. I figure its just part of having the luxury of being rooted and running great ROM's !!
Sent from my NonsenSIKal Froyo 10.8.1 using XDA App
I haven't had any battery problems since I rooted, in fact my battery life has gotten better thanks to the more efficent battery management of froyo, and the fabulous AutoKiller.
On KaosFroyo v37 with AutoKiller set to Strict, my phone would last all day and I use it as my MP3 Player for at least an hour everyday.
I am using the Seidio Innocell 1750 mAh Battery for HTC so that's also probably helping a little.
I was just looking at those same batteries online. Are they the same size as the stock batteries? I can't tell from the picture on the website.

Hello, newbie rooter here. Where about can i get this?
as someone said earlier flash CFS v6 for v38, i am running v38 with minimal use i get over 48 hours of life, heavy use i get 15 hours or so. To get CFS v6 just google it
(i consider heavy streaming pandora, playing games, surfing the net ect)
Don't just google it... search the development forum for it. It's made by Conap and there's a v8 out already that'll probably be better.
I'm on v8 with a slightly modified Floyo ROM and I could probably idle my phone for over 100 hours.
Upgrading has helped my battery as well. I am running KayosFroyo v38.
I'm big on battery life so wondering if any 2.2.1 roms have decent battery life yet before flashing one.
My battery life has always been pretty good but it started going downhill after messing with set CPU without really knowing what I was doing so I uninstalled the app. I've never wiped my battery stats. Any benefit in doing this?
people have different views on different roms but from mostly reading up as a noob i have noticed it is the kernel and modem that you are running that matters. so try to do some research on it. and see which one fits best.

i havent flashed alot like only 4 to 6 roms, and not to disrespect any of the developers but i have only used 2 types, trigger and team whiskey roms. both are good in my opinion. i dont do much fancy stuff just text call use data sometimes play games etc etc. regular use.
another thing i did to save battery life was turn 3g/4g off when i am not using it. just to leave it on eats battery alot. im very new and still learning. this is just an opinion.
above in the noob guide sticky you can find how to recalibrate your battery for maximum power as well. i will be doing that as well since i missed on that part.
i have never till yet flashed a different kernel or modem, but for kernel after reading a lot i have seen that people prefer tigerblood or somethign like that kernel. with their roms.
i hope this helps
I suggest an an called Tasker (from the market) which will let you set a profile that turns off data when the screen is turned off. Saves a lot of battery power.
Oh, yeah, of course you should set screen brightness to 10% and use a Dark homescreen.
Never had to do any of those things. But always had at least a full day's use out of one charge.

Same here, best battery life I've had to date I think. However, I'm not texting much right now and that seems to kill my battery faster than anything.
ToXIC HEROES/TOXIC SMOKE - its freaking awesome and fast as hell with Voodoo and Fugu Tweaks enabled.
Edit:Sorry misread the OP topic - Toxic Smoke is a 2.2 ROM not a 2.2.1.

could try overstock 2.4.1 then OC to 1.2GHz, havent been on project v but my battery was ok with that on other roms
or could try dragonmodz and OC to 1.2GHz, that might have better battery than overstock, havent tried it but people on his thread say they have quite decent battery going up to 1.5GHz
just play around with them for a few days each, see which works best
I'm running TigersBlood3.22 OC to 1.2Ghz and I'm gettin average battle life.

DragonMODz kernels have the best battery I've experienced. Followed by Bali 1.8.6UV.
Sent from my SGH-T959
IMHO, DragonModz are awesome kernels, they have all flavors. They have the "Standard" version that its the intermediate between performance and battery life, then they have the ULP version that boosts the battery life, but takes a little of the performance, and last but not least, they have the OC version wich is oriented to performance...battery life is ok with this one, does not suck, but it isn't as great as the ULP/Standard version or Bali's UV.
I have tried several kernels, and i think that my phone was the happiest with DragonMODz.
i have found, for my phone at least
bali UV = great battery life ( 15 hours ) moderate use
bulet 1.48 = great performace ( 21 mflops & 7 hours ) moderate use
overstock 2.4.x = good balance

I have to add that im an moderate/intense user. Im on WiFi 37% of the time, i use lots of intesive GPU using apps like Gameloft's HD games, N64/Gba emulation, i listen to music around 46% of the time and im using Project V until GB gets fully functional (GPS) wich seems to be very soon.
IMO, the best option if you want great battery life and great performance is to buy a 3000mah battery and use an OCed Kernel.
Thanks bro great info. I appreciate all the help with this thread!

Bali UV has the best battery life I've seen , after 16-17 hours of moderate use (WiFi, calls, 3d games) i still have on average 40-45% juice.
Ok so I'm new to the vibrant and I've been having some real crappy battery life. After like 2 hours of medium use on cm7 my battery is at 50%. When I was using my g2 I'd get like 8 hours of medium use running cm7 oc'ed 1.3ghz. But I have my vibrant at 1.2ghz and its horrible, same @ 1ghz. Is there any fix for this or should I start checking out some extended batteries?

CM7 isnt going to be the best battery anyway
flash a different kernel (dont know which iv never been on CM7) or go back to a 2.2 rom
i was using glitch hl kernel. and i dont get why i would go back to a froyo rom. froyo is outdated. but cm7 always had good battery life on my g2 so i dont get how a bigger battery would ause lower battery life.
Try bali kernel and callibrate ur battery with an app from the market u should see a difference

If htc released the source for the g2's newest android version, you'd notice a decent difference between the two phones. We're still missing some key drivers and an official leak.

This post looks complicated but it was pretty simple.
You mentioned not wanting to spend money, so I will warn you, it involves purchasing two apps.

This is incase you want to find out exactly why your battery life is crap and fix it, rather than living with it and buying cheap extra batteries (which is just as fine a solution).
Is there a better ROM than CM7?

Do you want funtionability or wow factor? I vote powerwash v1.2 for functionability and JT's Vanilla gingerbread for wow factor. I will warn you... there is a issue with gingerbread leaked roms(cm7, miui, vgb, aosp) frying sd cards.

I agree, if you want everything to work correctly and be iron clad go with Froyo based roms. I personally like the Evil Fascination. But the Com Rom2.1 has more features and customization. But once JT figures out the GB roms they will be what you want.
This where I'm a bit of a n00b...
Right now I have CM7 build #19 (the last two haven't downloaded for some reason, they get stuck at around 20%)..
I like the themes I have gotten my hands on with the CM7. I've been told CyanogenMod is the way to go always.
I did have an MIUI ROM for a little while until I got CM7.

Im getting almost 2 days battery life on powerwash with normal usage. If im constantly web browsing, downloading files, or excessive talk time, then 12-14hrs. Basically it seems like my battery life almost doubled vs stock.
Here is my setup:
Powerwash v1.2 rom
otb-fusion kernal
ec09 radio
Remember you wont get the best battery life right after flashing a new rom. Takes a couple charge cycles...

Quick question: with this ROM, where do I go for themes?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
In the theme section... there isn't a lot of themes on this rom tho. This rom is a daily driver per say.
I like MIUI better than cm7, it's got all the same things working (and broken) and runs just aas well but i really like the look and customizability.
This damn cm7 has made me feel like I'm going deaf at 28. The radio is so quiet.
