Hi,
i was thinking to move back to 2.1. ROM (chocolate eclair) because there is not stable enough Sense RoM for 2.2 or 2.3 and battery life is so much better with 2.1. I was thinking what are the biggest differences between 2.1. and 2.2/2.3. roms? Is there many apps/games that won't work on 2.1.? Any other things i should be aware of?
TIA
I have often wonder this same problem myself
So..............
i brought a wicked 3500mAh battery from some generic online site for 10 pounds
including p&p and downloaded elelinux 2.9
Battery problem no more
Muhahahahahaha.
p.s
with minor tweaks the battery lasts about 6 days with constant use (internet/wifi/3G) all plodding along.
that's very nice but doesn't solve the Sense problem

I have villain 5.4 installed just now and battery is poor. The music player burns about 30% and hour.
Would I get better battery life with a non sense rom? If so what would you guys recommend?
Also what would I lose buy going back to 1.5?
I was also using Villain 5.4 and variuos other 2.1 roms. I rolled back to Kimera 1.6 because of the poor batterylife on 2.1 roms overall. Plus i recognized that most 1.5 roms are still a lot faster (espacially Kimera + overclock).
I'm going away for a few months, and fancy changing roms. Just wanted to know which version used the least amount of battery. I wanna install villain 13 as it looks like it has better battery saving features, but then I have a feeling 2.3 will be even more improved.. Thanks.
A work colleague has come to me and asked about the "low memory" warning she keeps getting on her Hero. She is annoyed at having to delete apps all the time.
I'm thinking I want to root it for her, so she can have A2SD, but she is not at all technically inclined.
I need an ultra stable rom that I can flash and forget, I don't want her coming back to me about it.
Also the phone is a laggy POS on the standard 2.1 rom - any speed and battery life improvements would be welcomed!
Personally I would want an AOSP rom, but she used to Sense :-/
Recommendations, please?
Sent from my 'Zed, overclocked to 1.2ghz
VR 13 - overclock to maybe 600MHz for extra speed without sacrificing much battery life.
For the sense roms, it's best to stick with the android 2.1 roms like VR or Elelinux 2.1.
The AOSP 2.2 roms are also stable and both speedmachine, Floyo (1.2) or Froydvillain are really stable.

As long as she's a Sense lover you would like to take a look at this:

Gingerbread-Sense ported from Salsa to hero, being updated under serious work and becoming more stable everytime.
In case she gets convinced about the AOSP:

- All are really stable and ready for daily use, non sluggish nor laggy, read along to make your best choice, changelogs makes it all clear .
And if sticking to 2.1 with Sense is no problem, here's your deal with App2SD:

A lot of people suggest Cronos ROMs, but i really never gave that a shot, but i say you also look into that!
most of Elelinux's rom is the best. try it.
Litening is back in action with an ICS 4.0.3 version (yeay!) and he used to do a solid job on the old 2.3 Android Rom's. http://z13.invisionfree.com/Litening/index.php?showtopic=1
Have anyone coming from the CM9 ROM tried his new one and if so can they post on battery life impressions?
Litening is better I think.. but you have to try it depends a lot by the users
I've used cyanogenmod 9 for about a day and the battery life is horrible, although I haven't use Litening one must assume it is better than cm9 since it had taken the battery from full to 0% in a few hours with minimal use.
I am running on an Xperia Mini Pro and have tried just about every custom ROM available.
What is the best one for battery life?
FXP (CM 7.2 and 9.0) seem equally bad so far, usually lasting slightly less than a day with very little use. I find that my phone tends to get warm when running these ROMs.
Nero ICS and Hybro ICS seemed to give me between a day and two days.
I can get 2-3 days out of Sony's stock ICS ROM and about the same out of their stock GB rom.
Does anyone have any tips on increasing battery life? I usually run Juice Defender. Why do custom ROMs suffer from such poor battery life compared to Sony's stock ROMs?

Hey,
I would say for the moment stock ICS is the best your going to get. If you want to stay with ICS?
Dont use task killers or anything like that they waste more battery than they save and they mess with android native tasking. Juice defender, I dont know much about it but so I wont comment, but I would say that if you turn off wifi and BT and things when you aren't using then you shouldn't need anything to make your battery last longer. Also make sure the wifi sleep policy is set to 'always stay on' and yeah that should be about it tbh.
Cheers,
Evil
My suggestion is

I suggest you use Zelly Cream ROM which can give you much battery life :
