Hey there, I've to give this awesome phone to my father, who needs one, so I can take a newer one.
The thing he cares most is battery life, so, which ROM do you suggest me to install?
So far I think I'm getting the best with openOptimus, but I'd like to hear your opinion. Maybe the new void #forever?
LOLv1.4 gives me d best battery life with a drain of only 3-4% over night for around 8-9 hrs with data off n in 2g mode..!!
I heard that the stock LG Gingerbread has wicked battery life.

It all depends on the usage. I can suggest you 4 options for the follwoing usage pattern:
Moderate number of calls, lot of texting, couple of hours of music, couple of hrs of brwosing over mobile data/1 hr of browsing over Wifi, display brightness set to 40%, all sync and background apps turned off except when internet is ON and a lot of monkeying around with the phone like changing wallpapers, ringtones, etc.
The above said tasks are what I do on an average day and the battery lasts about 30 hrs. this is a smartphone BTW
Option 1: Void forever with franco's kernel (I would recommend v17) -> looks plain dull and you need to flash a lot of apps if you need them.
Option 2: Andy's ROM with andy's kernel (with franco's kernel, I faced some battery drain, though it was not too much) -> best ROM IMHO. Very good UI, Very colorful and smooth.
Option 3: Mik's ROM with franco's kernel (again v17) -> not very visually pleasing. But almost same as Andy's performance wise.
If you are looking for a froyo ROM, I've tried only openOptimus and it has a battery life as same as the other 3.
But again, it depends on the usage

Andy's ROM was pretty stable for me at 729/480 OC. I got kernel panic at 748/480 OC but 729 is stable. I personally feel Andy's ROM as more smoother than Mik's as I'm able to use live wallpapers without feeling sluggishness anywhere in the phone, which I couldn't get in Mik's. But opinion differs. All are excellent ROMs at the end of the day

Guess he's working on a totally new ROM, not based on CM7 but on CodeAurora. Let's wait and watch.
Ive been wanting to giveAndy's GB 2.3.4-rc4.1 a try for a minute, but have not been able to find the rom section dedicated to that rom...Ive used everything from Devoid Froyo Final to Megatron V1 to Mik_os's CM7 rom, but have not tried out Andy's GB 2.3.4-rc4.1 rom, can anyone point me in that direction for his rom ?
I've been using mik's CM7. but i reverted to offcial gb because cm7 lacks the night mode feature in camera. (it helps to capture better quality pic at low light situations)

Andy has discontinued his rom. He is now working on a CAF based build.
I haven't tested any of the 2.3.x ROMs but I tested most of the Froyo ones, and definitely for 2.2.x I got the best battery life with LOL 1.4.2
It's Devoid Froyo Final ...

If you have the new baseband, data is not going to work on Andy's ROM.
[EDIT]: GSM also won't work, unless you flash the baseband fix from Mik.
I'm currently on 6.5.7 with zacks v3.4 kernel plus soundfx.zip/a few other scripts and battery life is great but like others have said its all in opinion and yeah openxoptimus has exceptional battery life. I'd use open if I could flash the data fix but I don't have a computer. What good is it to have openxoptimus without data.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I'd use Miks 6.5.7 plus Franco Kernel 19.4.

It's decent, that's for sure. At least on Franco's 16 august Kernel
I generally get about 40 hours of light use out of it (some phone calls, some browsing, 3G & sync on all the time, couple pics, facebook, bit of wifi, bluetooth only when in the car). I leave data on all night long, too (I noticed I sometimes get higher battery consumption with data off).
If I have 66% or more left after the first day, I don't recharge (otherwise I do recharge because I'm not sure it will last another 24h)
hey all.
Any suggestions for a very stable ROM(Gingerbread) for the Lg Optimus one?
Cant seem to find one

Void Forever with franco 18.1 kernel...the most stable one.

Yes, they are all relatively the same but mik's is more stable in my opinion. With constant updates it really is a killer rom.

If you're looking for a STABLE gingebread rom with the OLD baseband the best shot will be sure mik's rom... If you have the NEW baseband GINGERLOL i guess would be the best shot...

What about the black screen bug? Or have you been lucky enough not to be affected by that? Because I was getting that ALL the time, including with different kernels.
Try OneDroid. Very stable, no black screen bug and good battery!!!

Mike 6.5. Most stable with Franco kernel
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I'd really like to use mik's rom, but last I checked it didn't support bluetooth calling. If that means you can't use a bluetooth headset to talk on the phone, then it's a no-go for me since I need to be able to talk while driving. So does mik's rom still prevent that?
i tried void. #forever 2.3.4 by Noejn, but the data stopped working. Not sure if it was because of the rom. I did a full factory reset and now I like:
Mik's CM7 v6.6
Kernel: Franco-2.6.35.13v1GINGERBREAD38
For a more powerful ROM, mik's one is better. But it you want a practically bugless ROM, better try GingerLOL 1.5. I personally prefer GingerLOL because of the low battery drain and its stability, as it is based on the official ROM. Although I used to recommend mik's work for more performance, I actually concluded with due usage that both ROMs perform smoothly and without any lag at all.
For Kernel if ever you're going with GingerLOL, use Paolo Kernel instead of franco's one, zero bug in this one.
I would like to try Mike's rom but if data doesn't work i don't see the point of using a smartphone
I am currently on gingerlol 1.5 and am very satisfied with its performance and stability.
Do you know if there are any major differences between void#forever and ginger lol?

void is based on CM7 and gingerlol is based on official v20c... Come on, is quite the same though...
My Stable,Fast Rom is mik's CM7 v6.6 + Franco 2.6.35.13 GINGERBREAD39 + Old Baseband (Downgrade baseband cuz needed data )
SO far I tested GingerLOL and now I am testing CriccoROM 1.1
GingerLOL feels more laggy than stock official untouched ROM with froncokernel. Also got less points in benchmark test.
CriccoROM runs smooth but I have battery drain in iddle, 1-2% battery/hour from the usual 0.4-0.6% battery/hour.
I think Mike´s rom is good choice.
Is Mik's rom still unable to let you talk on your bluetooth earpiece?
Hi all,
My mother just bought a Vibrant and moved from a feature phone. As it goes, I will be flashing it from it's eclair condition to Froyo but since I haven't run Froyo in so long (I'm CM7 fan), I don't know which Froyo ROM to use.
Any help is appreciated here. I need the best possible ROM+Kernel for battery. I don't really care about other features at the moment. Only requirement is to last as long as possible on a charge.
I'd suggest bi winning v3 by Dan brutal. I know he's moved on, but the rom is rock solid for me. I use the bullet kernel that came with the rom but alot of people used the Bali kernel that was under volted.
bionix v2
bionix v2 and bali 1.8.8 uv . .
ZenDroid w/ included Bali kernel or DMZ kernel. ZenDroid is already very much stripped down and has newer tweaks than most other froyo roms. Very efficient. Maybe you should order another one of those 1800mah batteries for her too.
Sent from my ZenDroid using XDA Premium App
Project v an bali x oc 1.2 conservative undervolt 50 across board
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Basically Bali 1.8.8uv or Bali X 1.2 (if you want to UV further) kernel coupled with any of the recently updated Froyo Roms. I'd suggest Toxic8 if you really like to theme your phone (though nothing beats MIUI for theming) and Zendroid if you want a stripped down, Touchwiz-less experience.
I have to agree with @GreggoryD502 on this one. I have put Winning on all 3 of my family phones and it ran great in terms of battery. Except for CM7 and Neo 16 that I am running now, I have never had any better battery life than I did with that rom. It isn't the latest and greatest but it is a solid performer. I flashed other 2.2 roms and ended up coming back to it several times until Cyanogen was released and stable.
Hey,, I have 3 questions--
1.)Does void #forever has a good quality camera ?? (CM7 6.5.8 camera quality was poor)
2.)Does it provide best/better battery than oxygen 1.1 .... ?
3.)Which Kernel is best for void ?

Void has probably the same cam as CM. If you don't like it, download an other
2) Oxygen? 1.1, yes. 2.0b, NO!!! I would flash Oxygen 2.0b if I was you!
And I am making a bomb ROM based on Oxygen: Nitrogen! available in a week.
Will be much better then ****ty CM!
3) Void kernel - .32
BEst .32 is fserves gbs .32
But stay on oxygen. I implemented many features and tweaks in my ROM.
If you want, I can already sent you the files? PM me
1) No, even the camera's zoom goes wrong (this because it is based on an old version of CM7)
2) Maybe... that depends on the kernel that you use
3) Depends, who you want to battery Goldenleaf is best, if you search performance franco.kernel.gbs-bfs, if you search performance and battery (Balanced) franco.kernel.gbs-cfs
i think all cm7 camera versions are ****!!
but u can't do anything u have to stick with it until u find a better alternatiive
and btw void's camera is takes dark images u have to set exposure everytime
I had problems with Void, my phone would not vibrate on texts/calls in silent mode, and would occasionally not do it with sound on, despite having the setting set to 'always'

Will try your oxygen:nitrogen when you'll upload it... and oxygen 1.1 doesn't sleep well.... 8 hrs of standby at night takes 6% battery due to some wakelocks(maybe alarmmanager),, while cm7 takes 2% battery in 8 hrs standby.. Although I prefer Oxygen 1.1 because it has everything working...

Everyone's got an opinion on the "Best" rom, I just wanted to see which rom the forum thinks is the most stable with everything working.
I've tried lots of them and cant decide.
Obviously, it is Wolfbreak's rom. hands down.
T.A.E.M rom is great i think its better then wolfbreak's rom

In my opinion, on the sum of parameters, now the best ROM is ThGo2, v10
MIUI is best...
I have found Oodie's CM ROM has been great

Battery life is good as is the stability.
for further stability, any stock se 2.3.3 rom ( locked and unlocked bootlaoder)

miui- oodies light version, also i used tripndroid rom which was pretty stable as well..u can find this one in modaco
cm7- zmods 2.3.5

ohh you're damn right. for me, that is the best of the best. REALLY THE BEST.
@deckerm, if you want a recommendation from me, try ThGo2. There is a new version, the v13, but a bootmanager kernel needs to be fixed. but there's a stable version of the rom, just look at it, and you will look happy.
but for the majority of the people here in the forum, Wolfbreak's rom is the one.
but for me, hands down. ThGo2 rom. ^^
I like EWJet, its super fast and everything is working great!

Stock rom: Wolf, ThGo2 and ... ----- stable and can be fast with custom kernel
cm rom: FXP is ****ing fast, MIUI has greate UI.
For long term stability, Wolf is the rom. T.E.A.M. is good, too. Currently using prime, no problems except the ones I create. Any rom must settle some and although our phones are X10, they can react differently to the same rom. For your poll, Wolf will probably be on top.
I totally agree!! For me Wolf's Rom gives me best stability & fastest Gingerbread Rom I tried so far!!!
Only thing I regret is not having anything to flash no more :'(
Great Rom!!!!

I like TEAM.
I started to have stability problems with Wolf's rom after 1.5 mo of use w/o flashing (stuck on start-up after reboot, stuck in airplane mode). I switched over to TEAM for the last 3 mo. and no stability problems and speed is good. Then again everyone's phone reacts differently due to settings & apps, so I say try one, and if it doesn't work, try another.
MIUI Prime for me the best rom I had before. Very stable, nice and long battery life (about 3-5 days with 2G only, synch off, brightness 40%).
Oodies CM7 for me. Great battery life and smooth running.
wolf's ROM does not really give the best battery life possible.... I'm still looking for a ROM that can give best battery life.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Probably not but I don't think that any Rom can make my battery last much longer!! My battery normally lasts about a day, while heavy usage!! I Also calibrated it.
If you want your battery to last for a long time, I'd suggest to buy a larger battery, that's just my opinion.
