Sense 3.0 vs 3.5 vs stock - HTC EVO 3D

Hello everyone,
Keeping things short here:
I want my phone's battery to last longer than 7 hours no use (with decent signal).
Running the latest Myn's rom.
I'm in love with Sense3.0, tried Sense3.5 and I love it (kinda prefer 4g for use at home, so I'm not using 3.5 yet)
I love Sense 3.0. Would Desensifying (getting rid of Sense) Improve my battery life DRASTICALLY? I mean, how heavy is Sense anyway?

---

I'm using myns ROM with tiamats sence kernal and wow I'm getting awesome battery life. It's almost unreal with tiamats kernal. Try it out and see what you think

The less processes you have running, the longer the phone will operate.
Enable "power efficiency" & you could also adjust a "power saver" condition in the power settings on a Sense based ROM.
On a Senseless ROM you could run longer but again, it all depends on what's running, Lengthen the time for your synced items or updated those items manually & you'll be fine.

7 hours(no use)!!! That's horrible. You might want to wipe everything and reflash. I haven't tried Myns ROM but I seriously doubt it sucks that much

---

No use 7 hours? I get 24+ hours on myns if I don't touch the phone.

Where do you get tiamats kernel from?
What? Hero is evolving... Hero evolved into EVO 3D!

Even with steady use (goofing off at work) I feel like I must get more than 7 hours. I get much more than that normally. I'm using viperROM which throttles the CPU based on the screen's on/off state.

You must have an app keeping your phone awake. The Evo can get around a week on its battery if you don't touch it at all.
Find out whatever is doing it and you should be getting a better battery life.

So turning on power efficiency helped, in 7 hours the battery was still at 30%. I'm going to try now without sense.

Bump: removed sense and it's been 10 hours and I'm at 74%. Remarkable improvement. Screw Sense!
If only I could keep the lock screen....

Is this with the same apps installed and same settings?

Yep, with power efficiency on.
It's totally worth it.
So far here's my statistical data
Sense 3.0 with power efficiency off - about 7 hour
Sense 3.0 with power efficiency on - 11 hours
Desensified (gingerbread) - 17 hours!
All moderate use, no repeated trials, but you can see my point. Hopefully Sense 3.5 would be lighter.
P.S. I'm using Warm ROM with the stock kernal on an hboot 1.5

3.5 very smooth never looked back....3.0 feels so laggy now

I'd bet it was a widget or service that was removed, not Sense specifically.
I'm at 11 hours with two reboots (including a full zipped Nandroid) that took me down just over 10%, an hour long conference call, a whole bunch of texting and e-mails, and am at 44%... 47% was voice calls, 28% display, 8% wifi, 6% cell standby (10% TWS - ugh. service at home sucks) ...

if close 3G longer use!

Trying out InfectedROM tomorrow, I hear the bench scores are much higher, won't do a test for Sense, only GB.
Got InfectedROM and decided to try out Tiamats Kernal.. benchmarks went from initial stock of 2500 to tiamat 1500... haha

---

Wasn't Sense 3.5 meant to have lower HW-demands than 3.0?!? I think I read that somewhere... That even older HTC handsets that couldn't run 3.0 could get upgraded to 3.5.
Zadias: Is that GSM phone or CDMA phone that you have? Cause I've been looking for a good GSM ROM...

Unfortunately, for you, it's a CDMA ROM.. And yeah that's why I expect Sense3.5 to run smoother, I'll flash Hybrid+ or any other Sense3.5 when it has full features and get back at this thread
P.S. with sense off, clocked at 1.8GHz, running InfectedROM Eternity and tiamats kernal, I'm getting these benches
