Hey guys i need some help.. I own a droid incredible and the ROMs and kernels there are great, i can always get awesome battery life with tiny's kernels.. My brother has the Samsung Fascinate and he wants some rooting love. He wants basically what i have: a stable rom with a kernel that will give him at lease better battery life than stock. I mean if there is a kernel out there that can do what tiny's kernels do for my droid incredible that would be amazing. so can someone point me in the right direction?? thanks!!!!
Froyo or Gingerbread?

Powerwashed Rom by ccampos, closest thing to stock so can be used as a daily driver and great battery life.

I personally would go with cm7 and use the glitch kernel. Set the undervolting settings and the phone lasts for quite a while. My percentage dropped 1% in almost 2 hours. I was doing a fairly moderate amount of texting and some browsing.
+1 for CM7.1 with Glitch kernel. Even if you don't change UV settings the battery life is pretty good.

Hi. I installed the cyanogenmod 7 on my LG p500.I love it verymuch.but my battery is draining so heavily.is there any way to fix it,?

I used Juice Defender and it helps.

undoubtedly either android 2.3.3 or cyanogen mod eats battery more than usual, in their official builds (nexus one for 2.3.3 / htc desire for cyanogen mod 7)
and you're prolly using unofficial builds and there might be more battery drain than usual.
you should have considered this and i dont think any of the developers didnt told you on their posts.
of course apps like juice defender or battery doctor etc. are good
but if you hate ur liberty being controlled by those dumb apps (i do), just control your data/wifi usage well, make suitable overclock profiles, or buy an extended battery physically.

Can anyone tell me the best rom(both froyo and gingerbread) to get the maximum battery life.?

for what it's worth, void #echo or devoid.franco + franco.Kernel proves quite good as far as battery life is concerned.

yep, i had been reading that kind of comments about franco's rom.. i think i have to try it, all the ppl always say wonderful things about this rom and im really tempted to use =D
So here goes...
Well i realise this with every rom I use. Standby gives 1% per hour. I know not as good as most, but yea. However, with wifi on and browsing for 40 minutes, its already 8%. It aint really enough for me since I spend so much time here.

So far I used
- stock ROM: bad performance, batt - dont remember
- megatron with its kernel (2.2): absolutely best batt, 0-1% of battery drain per overnight (wifi off, data off, gps off); good performance; might be unstable
- LOL 1.4.2 with its own kernel mix (2.2.2): fair battery life and performance
-devoid and void with franco kernel (#14 it was then): not so much satisfied with batt. or performance in live or in quadrant test (sorry franco, i could not understand why it is so...)
- jince : very smooth ROM for everyday use; batt is little bit worsethat Megatron or LOL (5-9% overnight, all off; however ither reported better batt. life).
My choise for battery - Megatron v1 (with it's kernel)
PS. currently testing megatron ROM with Franco 18.1 kernel. Will post results.
Megatron rocks but its not as visually appealing.

I found between my phone and my brother's, I found that the comm rom with OTB 1.6 kernel seemed to be best battery life so bar

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.

So my wife just got a fascinate (coming from Droid x) and I was wondering what a good kernel rom combination is for good battery life and stability?

Powerwashed 1.2 with pbj 8-8 kernel seems to be the most reliable for a lot of people. If your phone cannot handle the under volt then use pw otb 8-15 kernel. Your radio should be ed 05
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
My bad, can someone move it? haha
Thanks laureanop, I'll for sure look into those, I just have no starting point, everything is a lot easier on my OG droid... and my droid 2 has only a few options so that makes it easier too hahaha
For me, MIUI has the best battery life and is just great in general. I recommend giing it a try; it has a few issues but nothing major. The pros outweigh the cons.
OTB Over Clock kernel and Evil Fascination ROM play well together on mine, thought you can have some radio issues (it was a pain to fix but my how to is on here somewhere) if you are going to do this from another non stock image.
I just installed power washed with the pbj kernel for now (not big on miui personally, feels unorganized like iOS and wasn't a huge fan on my OG Droid... Of course that was back when it like first came out lol i'm sure it's allot better now) i'm just waiting on the verdict from her on battery life and performance, played with it some last night and it felt great (especially after putting launcher pro instead of go launcher, which is nice but just didn't have that snappy feel I like) but you know everything seems fast @ first, we'll see after a couple days...
I'm sure it'll be allot better than stock either way lol
Edit: thank new I'll check that out if she's not big on the current setup, I see allot of people liking evil, so that was on my list of thing to try, just was not sure what to pair with, thanks!

CM7 + Glitch's Kernel.
Yeah MIUI has gotten much slicker and faster recently. If you're not into that, go with Vanilla Gingerbread or CM7, they are both very fast and clean. I recommend the glitch kernel with underclocking and undervolting to get best performance and battery life.
Yeah I was prolly gonna throw cm7 on there but it's still in nighties so I'd rather not unless it was my phone
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
The current setup of power washed and pbj seem to be pretty sweet for now...she was still at 70% after it being off the charger for about.... 19 or so hours...where she would normally be in the red after 15 or so...

I just picked up a Vibrant, coming from a sprint htc hero, and I'm looking for some opinions on what rom would work best for me.
My main concerns are;
-Stability
-Speed
-working GPS
-battery life (doesn't have to be great, but I don't want to charge twice a day either)
I'm willing to go without some customization options if it means a more stable and fast experience. The phone is currently on the stock 2.1 so my guess is anything will be an improvement. What do you guys suggest?
Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
I'm having the best succuss to date with Simpply honey, 5.1.
Some users find that the GPS may never be stable, others don't have any issues.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Any thoughts on the battery life on simply honey? I seem to remember reading some real gripes on the battery use.
Project V with immortality or dead horse kernel is BEAST. It's been running stable for the past 2 weeks.

I haven't ran across toxic7 yet, I'll have to check it out.
I think many will agree, Bionix 1.3.1 is one of the most stable roms created for the vibrant. Pair that up with an undervolted kernel, such as bali, overstock, or superdragon_modz, and you got yourself stability heaven with decent battery life and GPS. My $.02. I'll include the links if you want to check them out.
Rom - Bionix 1.3.1
Kernel - SuperDragon_MODZ
Kernel - Bali

I'm using Bionix Next Gen 2 with Bali Kernel with no Overclock or Undervolt. It is very smooth and I get around 24hrs with moderate use.

Bionix V with TigersBlood Kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
My vote goes to Bi-winning V3. Its super smooth and fast with zero issues. Battery life is good, and it comes with the Bullet kernel that is capable of over clocking if your into that.
I started with Axura, went to bionix - both ran fine. GPS got within 60 feet on average. Hey - a garmin it ain't -
Tried a few GB ROMs, but since GB isn't 'out' for t959, I had concerns re: compatibility to the phone itself using a ported rom. Un-bricking is not how I want to spend my time!
Currently using ToXiC 8 with Immortality kernel and Clean and Shiny theme. Fast. Stable. Using it since day 1 and no rom-related fc's. I tried the scripts jcc provided, but couldn't really see a difference. Battery life after calibration is great. I can use it all day without reservations. GPS will lock quickly, however no matter what ROM I've used, GPS always under-reports highway speed by ~2mph. After applying fixes that Jcc suggests, this phone is great.
Hope this helps.
