So I am currently on an ICS rom and I'm loving it. The only thing that bothers me is battery life. I know there are a few GB roms for the rezound so I was wondering what people were using (if you're still on GB). And what GB rom you prefer!
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

definitely CleanRom or Ineffabilis:
CleanRom if your looking for stock and cleaned up
or Ineffabilis if your looking for a modded rom with tweaks
Thank you for the input. I will try both of them out. Do you notice a difference in battery life?

Over the weekend, I swapped from the setup in my sig to the newest innefilbis ICS ROM.
In the last two days, I was really shocked at how much worse my battery life is. I knew ICS was not known for great battery life, but I really wasn't expecting it to be quite as bad as it is.....

I'm a bit off-topic, but I really do get some *****in' battery life on CleanROM DE ICS on the latest RUU. I have a fair number of system apps frozen. I run the extended battery, but my phone rarely gets warm and I get tons of talk time.
Hello Thunderbolt users, I need your help with something. I finally convinced my girlfriend to rooting her Thunderbolt, now I need to know what's the most recommended ROM for the Thunderbolt, it needs to be stable, no major bugs, what do you guys recommend?

It depends if she likes sense or not. I've been running eternity which is a sense 3.5 rom which runs excellent, stable and fast. And for aosp I've run thundershed cm7.2. Very quick and stable. Another cm7.2 based rom to check is the new rom zombie. I just loaded it up and so far is awesome. Has a nice red theme to it.

That 3.5 Rom drains crazier then a rat in outhouse. In ten minutes lost 10% then lost more about the same rate. This Rom needs to be fixed.as that is not stable. Seems as is stock os the best on the battery, and that is sad. Also your my Verizon app won't work which is another area of concern with limited data and shared plans we need to have an app that works. UNACCeptable people to have those two issues. My Verizon app is not.bloate as it gives vital account information.

Once again, the fool is wrong!

Guess you just have to know how to click an icon and enter your user info.
I guess that's too hard for some people.
Dont listen to this idiot. He doesn't know how to set a rom up to save his life so don't pay attention to what he says. He has been banned twice already. Eternity gets better battery life than any rom i have tried. That includes stock which has horrible battery life.

You force me to agree with the troll, damn it! I have to qualify your statement with: 'which eternity'? I was very happy with 248 but when I updated to my battery life dropped down to 5 - 6 hours(!) with no change in the setup.
I'm getting over 14 hours of battery life with Gingeritis 3d by comparison and the phone is getting the same or more use.

Yes, r248 had better battery life then the latest test builds.
Why is that you ask?
As I stated in the Eternity thread, the newest build has a test kernel from Ziggy based on the latest OTA, as is the new test build Rom.
That kernel has an identified and known issue where the Performance and On Demand governor are locked at Max, no matter what you do.
The solution:
Change governor to Lag Free, or install Imos 6.2 kernel for Mr4 based roms, or the Bamf 3++ kernel.
Then apply your preferred CPU settings.
Battery use should return to as good or Better then r248.
The new kernel in the Rom is being reworked currently to resolve the issue.
So, the concern is with the kernel, more so then the Rom.
As far as Gingeritis having better battery life, I don't doubt that any Sense 3.5 Rom is going to be somewhat more draining on our devices/batteries.
Im talking about r248 but i still had decent battery on the test builds.

Your explanation is very much appreciated but......
I never thought I'd say this and it's subject to change from hour to hour...... I'm pretty much stuck on Gingeritis 3D, getting up in the AM, subjecting the phone to fairly heavy use and seeing 50% battery or more remaining when I go to bed is something I thought I'd never see after abandoning my BB for Android and.....
I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for messing with this phone for some reason? Every thing works now with Thunderstick BB or Eternity or Liquid or ???? and the only reason I change from one ROM to another is some minor annoyances and battery life so.... I think maybe I'll leave well enough alone.
I'm saving my flashing desires for when the devs get ICS with Sense 4.x, I'll don't think I'll flash ICS with Sense 3.x and I might just wait for Jellybean?
I have about forever left on my contract and then we'll see what's up.
So it changed as I said it might! Tried the Bamf kernel and battery life is back to normal.
Up until yesterday I had been running the Thunderstick GenII rom for the last 6-7 months (been running Thunderstick roms since last September..when Verizon bricked my phone with their update). It is a very stable Sense rom, and the only issue I had with it was my custom ring tones would sometimes get confused. The only reason I upgraded was to try something new (now running Thunderstick FullBlown) and I am half tempted to go back to the GenII just because it has some features I like that the FullBlown version does not.
Been running ThunderStick ROMS (FB, BB) for a good while... They just work on my phone. YMMV. Flashed SfKCM7 (AOSP) last nite and it runs real smooth... Gonna ride with this til I get the itch :beer:

No matter what rom I try I always end up back on Skyraider. It's the fastest sense rom I've ever used.
Hey,
I've been thinking about rooting and roming my rezound. I was wondering which rom would be recommended at the moment?
I need almost everything to work. And I work 12 hour shifts, so I need decent battery life. I make it through a whole day stock, especially if I turn data off when I'm not using it. I would to maybe try to make it more smooth, faster, and have decent battery life. How stable are sense 4.0 roms? and cm9 based ones? I would just like some recommendations on what to try first. thanks!
I would definitely go with ViperRez . Very stable and good battery life.

Ineffabilis deus 1.2 for sure. I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again. Ive flashed all kinds of ROMs but nothing is as perfect as Chingy's ROMs. Everything that I use works perfectly. Give it a shot.
BTW I'm not trying to say all the other ROMs aren't as good. What I should say is try them all out for yourself. Everyone has different tastes.

I can vouch for ineffabilis deus. The only problems I had was I couldn't get wifi tether to work and some minor glitches with the keyboard not popping up in text inputs on the main browser but using a different browser worked. I may have been the only one with those problems.. but it is a solid sense rom. Plenty of options to choose from when you flash it.
Now on cm9 Le noob and it's really smooth. In calls though the sound is a bit funky.. But everything is faast

We have great devs across the board for the Rezound and each offers something unique and cool for their ROMs. I would say try several and figure out what works best for you. I have used ViperRez, Nils Business Sense, Newt's, Neo's AOKP and NeoMax, Vigor, and Ineffabillis (current). I like them all and find certain aspects of each appeal to me. S-off opens a whole new door of possibilities. Have fun and enjoy the hunt.

I'd vote for either of Nils' ROMs. I'm running his Sense 4 ROM right now and the only bug I've found is that every now and then Facebook authentication fails and I have to log in again. That happens every other week or so. Battery life is really good, but I think all Sense 4 ROMS are pretty good on battery.

I have tried ClearRom4.5 and used it for a while, then I tried ViperRez1.0.3, Newts, and currently I am using Vigor360.
Honestly, if the camera will be stable in the ViperRez1.0.3, I would be still using it. So far, it is the ROM that gave me better battery life compared with others and it is very smooth imo.
I installed Newts and I was astonished with all the things loaded in there. Great ROM. Ubber stable. The camera is fast and didn't see any issues. Everything works in there. My only complain was that compared with other ICS ROMs it seems that it lags a bit for me and the battery drains faster than any other ROM I tried.
Because how stable is this ROM, I tried a couple of Kernels to see if I could get the same smoothness that I got with previous ICS ROMS. No luck!!
I just installed Vigor360 about a week ago and it is great too. Battery consumption is way better than Newts but less better than ViperRez. But the ROM is flawless and smooth. Probably same or better than ViperRez.
Benchmark in Quadrant Standard with all 4 different ROMS (with their original Kernels) gave me the average of:
- CleanRom4.5 **3100
- ViperRez 1.0.3 ** 3600
- Newts ** 2900
- Vigor360 **3100
Now, if we can have an ICS ROM that is stable as Newts, with the battery life of ViperRez and the smoothness of Vigor360, then we will have a winner.
If you don't need Sense, try Miui. The UI is very clean and smooth.
+1 for ViperRez. Stable, fast, and great battery life. Been using it since the end of July, & haven't looked back. Sense 4 is awesome. Now using it with DSB's kernel, which also works great. Camera and camcorder both working fine. Only "issue", if you want to call it that, is the data arrows not working, but you will see that with any of the Sense 4 ROMs, and to me, it is a non-issue. Awesome.
Oh, also, the Kindle app force closes, which has been reported, but again, no big deal to me, because I have my Nexus 7 for that, LOL.
Good luck, and enjoy.

Thank ya'll for all the replies. I'm kind of afraid to do the s-off thing right now, so i'm sticking with just unlocking and roming. So far the only one I've tried is Neo's Rage1.2 and its pretty awesome. When the screen is off it barely has battery drain at all. I'm interested in trying viperrez, but I think i read that he is about to release an update soon so I'll probably wait until it comes out. But an example of the battery life of rage1.2: I have the standard battery, its been off charge for 16h 47 min, with 1h 1 min screen on time and i'm sitting at 37% battery. Granted a lot of that time was with data off when i wasn't using it, but when I had the screen on data was on. Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone interested.
You've just got to try the ROMs man. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there are one thousand threads about "best" ROMS, and each is equally useless. Your device, tastes, and desires are going to determine which ROMS are most successful for your setup. I can almost guarantee that if you flash ANY rom in the development thread that it's going to be great. Just a heads up, it's best to refrain from discussing "best" ROMS. It just pisses devs off.

I hope that it didn't offend anyone. I was just wondering what people that are using the ROMS thought about which one would be good for me based on what I was needing. Because I know some ROMS will be great, but not have as great of battery life as another ROM that is just as awesome. I like getting suggestions, and seeing what people like about which ROM. I will keep what you said in mind, and I really appreciate you letting me know that.
In your opinion , which rom is the best you've ever experienced on the HTC amaze ?
By best I mean; smoothness, battery life, less amount of problems , looks
so basically I'm asking which your favorite rom is
Fourth Bar Infusion was to me the best rom i've seen for the Amaze so far.. the only issue i had with it was that the signal bars were broken
CM10, followed closely by SpeedRom 7.8 and Fourth Bar Infusion.
Until CM10 is finished - NRG Stock 8/1 - EVERYTHING works, and battery life is amazing.

Honestly, even if he did, i'd be a little against using it. Nothing against NRG, or course, but last time I checked no Sense 4.X Roms or Phones have WiFi calling. I love my WiFi calling, and after Hurricane Sandy came barreling over head taking my closest tower down for days... I don't wanna give up that option.
Best 3.6 based Rom was speed Rom. Cm10 is good on battery life for me but I didn't find it as smooth as sense 4. Teamvipers sense 4.1 Rom (one posted by Leo and later thread was closed for whatever reason) has been the best Rom for me thus far. Only downside is no working Bluetooth but it's a fair trade off for 4 hours+ screen on time I will post a couple screen shots of my current run and it's buttery smooth just posted screen shots of today's usage with 44% left to go and I play a lot of temple run (hence the screen on time is high and browse via wifi all the time so it's constantly on)

I agree if people want everything working with decent battery life (not necessarily the best but to gain something you must lose something and if it's worth the sacrifice go for it) the amaze on the Htc stock Rom was a beast on it's own what always irked me about this device was it's crappy battery life compared to my Nexus one. Hence I have decided to sacrifice Bluetooth capability for basically never ending battery life on the team vipers Rom I have settled down on. However I do flash anything new to keep my device funky and fresh I still have yet to try your bulletproof reloaded sense 4.1 Rom eclipse, maybe I will flash it tonight and see if I can get even better battery life

The best Rom is the most stable Rom I've used, it's also one that's not being developed anymore "RMS Quicksense v7.0". It's clean and I've never had a freeze or error with it.

I see but the weird thing was that when I flashed team nightmare sense 4.1 I got horrendous battery life so I ended up going back to speed rom (at that time cm10 wasn't fully functional) do you guys plan on continuing work on that rom? Because Leo version seemed to to have everything buttery with tremendous battery life. Is kanging (sorry don't know proper term) not allowed? Aren't there a lot of roms that are kanged? Guess I am confused...
I know it would be a toss up to which one is better cause its a personal opinion but I just got my DNA yesterday and I wanna know which rom is best for battery saving that's my main focus on it. I know there is users out there that can chime in and help me cause I don't wanna keep flashing Roms

Battery Plus is my favorite ROM, fast, responsive and have yet to have any issues. average of 10 hours of battery life
currently on the hatka Rom (just flashed yesterday) so i can vouch for it being really nice and battery efficient. plus i love the transparent pulldown and app drawer on it.
Viper DNA just dropped today. I was on the beta testing team and not only is the ROM incredible, but I was getting improved battery life on it as compared to stock and UKB.
If u like a customizable Rom and tweaks and a lot of other things viper rom is the one for u. Me I'm on it I too was apart of the beta team and I will say viper is the sheit :thumbup:
