Any suggestions for a stable rom and kernel for battery life? I need everything to work so probably need to stick with gingerbread. Thanks!!
Stock EH03. I've done a decent amount of reading about this topic and from what I understand RFS (default galaxy s file system, versus ext4 or mtd) consumes the least amount of power. Also, performance in EH03 is noticeably improved compared to the Froyo or Eclair builds on my device. Combined with full functionality I'd say its your best bet, unless you want to buy an extended battery.

If you didn't have to stick with gingerbread a dj05 ROM is far superior in battery life imho..

Can't find a dl zip for dj05. Would it work well with ICS?

Ics provides the best battery for me. I usually try to beat my gnexus battery. Its easy

People are different... Phones are different... the apps we use are different... the features we like are different.
I prefer Overstock 2.2.

Sounds like with you switching back and forth and like the battery on os.
You just might have answered your own question.

I like tigers blood...overstock is great too ha
i like bullet from EDT. it gives me good battery life, has the ability to OC, and everything feels real snappy.
Running NextGenv2 w/ Carnage Cosmic theme

I like overstock a tad bit more because it seems to give me better battery life.

I may be wrong but I believe the kernel effects battery life more so than the rom itself. I haves had great success with s0niqu3's categorically worthless kernel. As development has stopped on this, I have recently moved to overstock with good life as well. Can't speak of the others as I have not test drove them much. Just my .02...

Ok running that now now I need a good kernel an not overstock I have home button issue were I can't her into multitask menu it just go straight to home screen
Bi-winning, I get about 16 hours with normal use.
Do you need to Calibrate the battery after a kernel change or only when you change to a new rom?
it is recommended that you recalibrate by some authors. but after flashing bi winning my battery seemed to perform normally. however I did recalibrate and did not find any significant difference

Been using The Beast v1.0 and having amazing results with an overclocked kernel. Full day use. 3 days if I don't touch it. About to flash The Beast Final. Also remember to be fully charged when you're flashing ROMs.
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.

They released it but I didn't notice any change. But hopefully if we get a leak it will improve.

Good idea but wanted try more software changes first before goin and spending money

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?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
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.

I have a rooted p500 on stock 2.3.3 gingerbread. I have installed franco's .35 kernel. I also want to install a basic Rom for my device in terms of battery and speed. I want a custom status bar as the stock gingerbread one is pathetic. That mainly all I care about for style, although more features would be good. What rom do you suggest for good battery and speed? I heard Oxygen rom and NightlyFourE are good but which one would you reccomend for me? Or is there another rom i dont know about? And what are these roms compared to stock battery and speed? THANKS IN ADVANCE. And im sorry if this has been posted before. I looked and couldnt find anything.
Sent from my LG-P500h using XDA
Nothing really different about nightlyfoure.its just another perfectpeso rom with dofferent tweaks...oxygen is good for performance. Im using blackbird v1.2-beta1 with moderate usage and i have 18 hours with 69% left..its performance is adequate
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Okay thanks. I am leaning towards Oxygen because it is said to have good batter and speed. Does anyone know if "good" means better then stock gingerbread? I want to know Oxygen vs. Stock speed and battery.

Yes! Oxygen is definitely much better. Been using oxygen for more than a month and I can't be bothered to switch to another one
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Alright thanks. I have 2 questions: on average how many hour of battery life do you get with oxygen? And what kernal is best for it? I have franco's .35 but i heard people talking about franco 4? Is 4 different and better?

Franco "4" is just a name, it's .35 kernel. For battery life, we can just guarantee it's better than stock, obviously, no need to ask, or just stay in stock.
Okay sounds good. Final question: can i install Go launcher ex with Oxygen installed so I can have basically the same look I have now but with more speed and battery? I want more customization too so can I install custom launcher? Thanks
