hi folks
im kinda new to the custom roms and phone flashing
plz forgive any ignorance
to the matter at hand
ive used adrenaline rom ad its great
want to switch to miracle v4
not sure if to make the plunge from stock rom to custom rom
im lookin for an decent enough battery life (adrenaline batter life is awesome btw)
and a good gaming experience( not etremely heavy games...to be specific id like to run angry birds space with no lag, thats as intense it is with me lol)
nothing else really matters lol
any input wud be greatl appreciated
id say go for it!
what i do is if im not at home I underclock my phone via SetCpu 225min 614max normal and 225min 225max on screen off or around those values, brigthness at the minimum, a task killer set to kill apps at screen off and i get decent battery. miraclev4 is one of the best cm based rom imo.
CM ROM's aren't that great for battery life really but at the same time it is not terrible, if battery life is important to you I would recommend you stay with a stock based ROM. If battery is more on the back burner of your concerns, then yes CM ROM's offer better gaming performance.
Right now I am using Bald Eagle (Stock based ROM) found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534804
And it is great for both, I play angry birds a lot and I get less lag using bald eagle over any other stock rom I've used so far, and believe me I've tried them all. On top of that you get the good battery life that you get from stock roms.
Bald Eagle is in the middle, it has good gaming performance, but not at much as a CM based ROM, on the other hand it has good battery life, unlike CM based ROM's
But again it is up to you to figure out which is more important, gaming performance or battery life.
ok i think ill take the leap
one thing, if i flash wit miracle 4 and dont like it can i just simply flash back to adrenaline
would there be a custom rom/stock rom clash or anything?
If u know how to set ur phone right on cm7, u'll get good battery life. Ive using both roms, stock and cm7. I can say its quite similar. There are battery tweaks for cm7. Find them, and choose the right one. Good luck with that

When im going to custom stock,I've always do the hardest way. Call me a freak or noob,I will flash stock firmware via Odin, backup my sd on lappy, format it. Then use cwm to partition my sd again. Just for some precaution. And I never face any prob with link2sd or any app2sd apps.

So im using MIUI Galnet ICS with Siyah kernel, and i completely love almost everything about this rom, but i say almost because my battery life is not so good i get like 13 hours with pretty low use.
So my question is:
What rom has the best battery life, fairly smooth and stable (battery life at highest priority)? What would be the best kernel (battery wise) to use with this ROM?
Another question kinda not on topic but anyways;
If my phone fell a few times (sometimes on side, sometimes on screen sometimes on back)(with screen protector and back cover) can any of the internal components get damaged? cuz sometimes the phone gets minor freezes.
P.S.
I have been told CheckromRevolution 5.5 is probably one of the best roms battery wise, the thing is there is CheckRomRevolution HD 3.1.x now
So which CheckRom ROM has best battery life?
The best ROM for battery life is the one which is so bad, it makes you not want to use the phone.
Currently using Simple and Clean with Speedmod. Pretty good, but it's just my first discharge cycle so I can't judge yet, but I definitely see some improvements from Litening. CheckROM and Sensation 1.9 also seems decent. Cognition as well.

This will depend on so many variables, network, location, Modem, ROM, Kernel, user installs of software, wake locks, bad signal.......
Hence the only way to find is via flashing bedding testing....
As you will notice users can have same setup but very different outcomes..
Using CWM backup you can always revert to stable setup.

Hey guys,
I have a question, I have my SGS II, and I tested out alot of roms and kerenels but I just cant get to a promising results regarding battery life.
My question is:
What is the most promision ROM and KERNEL combo for BEST battery life?
Really? Really? Seriously?
I think you should use stock Rom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea... Stock if you want battery
Unfortantuly my stock rom sucks, laggy and ****ty.
And cmon guys stop tagging this post as span n other **** I am new to this all new android stuff and I see people with effin 3 days of battery life while in 100% mine only lasts for 8 hours.
Be more serious.
So, did you read up on how they were getting it? (3 effin days battery)
Have you then tried the same thing?
Checkrom revoHD.
Well for me checkrom revo HD with leoMar kitchen app is simply the best. This combined with Dark Knights Siyah kernal is the best combinition for me. I get a full day of battery charge with heavy usage.

Currently using CheckROM but thinking of switching to Androidmeda for the (reportedly) amazing battery life. I can't see any direct comparison between the two, so I was hoping I might be able to get some feedback from people who have used them.
I heard someone say that they weren't that impressed with Androidmeda, but didn't really explain why. CheckROM seems to be the most popular, and it definitely is smooth, but I can't get much battery life out of it, despite switching kernels.
Any advice welcome. Thanks.
I get superb battery life from CheckRom as do many others it's nothing to do with the ROM you need to establish what is draining your battery it's certainly not the ROM itself.

I don't think I'm getting a battery drain as such, I could probably get about 14 hours out of it, which isn't too bad I suppose. I'm seeing people report over 2 days with Androidmeda.
I didn't like checkrom and switched back to androidmeda.
Can't give any specific reasons though. I think it's the surgeon scripts which I like.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Both at the end of the days are good roms. Its about choice really and what you like as a user..For me i have to say Androidmeda. Saved myself money from buying an extended battery cause of the great rom/kernel combo. The min screen on time i get is 5hrs buddy and that is over the duration of say 26-40hrs. and not just that i have learned quite alot since i switched over. Plus the devs are great support there and if you need anyting they are always there to help...Regarding checkrom again i did try that and nothing but good words to say about that rom specially if you like the kitchen idea but for me smoothness and battery life is androidmeda...But again only you can decide by trying both..and not just a day or two you have to give it at least a week for each rom to decide which one you prefer
cant get the idea of surgeon untill now why it have to be with themes?
if i want to flash "Hyperdroid" then flash a surgeon then flash ICS theme by "Vertumus" will it revert all the mods that the surgeon did?
I've been reading up a lot about custom ROMs, and more often than not CM9 always gets a mention. I'm tempted to flash it but just wanting to know is it really worth it? Does it have major improvements on battery and performance, and what are the main things that make it so much better than the stock ROM?
Also is it easy to revert back to the stock? I've already got my phone rooted with CF-Root, is that the clockworkmod recovery I've read about, and if so can I just go ahead with making a backup and flashing with CM9?
Any help/info would be appreciated.

Its users choice read what does not work first .
CF root is not Clockwork Recovery but it probably has CWM recovery incorporated .
CWM manager in apps and boot to recovery should show CWM options .

CM9 is experimental and still has several flaws and issues.
I'd not recommend it for everyday usage if you're not a developer or like living on the edge.
Plus, 3G battery life is terrible since CM9 has no Fast Dormancy. Within ~5 hours the battery was always dead on me.
Samsung-based Roms make it more than 24 hours in contrast.
It will of course get better when the ROM is properly fixed and all features integrated. It always does =)

Flash Stock firmware through Odin, then factoryreset the phone in CWM. You're back to stock

So that must be the drain issue everyone is talking about. I use 2G only on T-Mobile and I get awesome battery life haha. Good to know I must be the only one

a lot of the battery issues are due to not resetting battery stats. You fully charge the phone, clear the stats, then charge it again I think? Search there are instructions.
I've got CM9 on an Atrix which isn't even a supported device and it's totally daily usable. The only things I lose which are only b'cause it's an atrix are:
Fingerprint reader
Webtop
video camera
Check out what works and doesn't with CM9 for your phone and decide. I like it a lot, it's TOTALLY stripped though, like no google aps (you can install them as a package)... There are lots of weird intricacies to it but it's cool as hell IMO

At least the build for Atrix is not pre-alpha EXPERIMENTAL =)
It takes some time for the developers to get it right on the S3. I've never said CM9 itself had issues, it's the combination of CM9+ i9300 that needs some serious work.
I have or manage a couple of CM9-flashed devices (from Galaxy S1 over Galaxy S2 to Motorola Xoom) so I know how awesome the Rom is =)
Cheers for all the replys.
Are there any other custom ROMs worth looking at? I've heard CM9 is the most popular but if it's not quite usable daily yet I might give something else a try.
CM9 is currently very usable. I have no problems whatsoever. It has many advantages to stock ROM like no low free memory problem, no launcher redraws and no lags. The only real disadvantage is that the camera app sucks compared to stock.
It must like your phone better.
Kept turning off the modem for no reason, sometimes restart was necessary to connect.
It also has no fd as already described, so many people will notice a huge drain in 3g.
Btw you can easily get rid of memory issues by freezing/removin, all the apps you do not need but which are always running.

I agree 100pct.
I don't even notice it's rom'd till I want to take a video or use webtop :-(
The tablet switching roms work great though. I played with jokers and LOVED it but couldn't get gapps installed for some reason.

Hi,
I installed ViperRez 1.0.3 and I found this rom perfect for me, but the battery life was bad.
So I wanted to test another ROM. When I tested Nil's Business 2.3, I found the battery life was better.
Then I got an idea: Install ViperRom and flash the Nil's Business PH98IMG.zip.
Now, my battery life is doubled and I have no problems
thx will try
i used underclock to 600mhz
to get better battery [screen time] however idle is ok for me
just flashed，found that the kernel is the same.

You can also try a progam like setcpu, no frills...etc from play store. It seems to work for me.

Try cpu monitor widget by coconuts from the market and see how your cpu is working compared to what set cpu says...even using different governors.
check "enable profiles' within setcpu (don't need to set one up, just check the box) and your phone will get faster. For me it enables the 2nd core to be used more frequently, or all the time.
Just sayin...and there's been a ton of stuff written about setcpu, perflock...etc already so no need to rehash.

i did the same thing when i read this thread im running the viperRez rom 1.0.3 with the nils business PH98IMG with s-on and the latest ice cream sandwich firmware leak.. i originilly started this process with my rezound to try and save battery life the way i did with my incredible.. not getting as good of results. i noticed he never replied with a screen shot thought id add mine.. (note: this is my extended 3.7v battery and i removed my it at one point so theres actually three more hours added to the time on battery before it died adn this is light to med use all day) this really is honestly the best combination ive seen for battery life on the rezound.i cant say its doubled..at least personally. if anyone has any other suggestions im open to hear them..
Hey guys here is something else I've just done today that seems to be working awesome..
Download Rom Manager
Download and install the Kernal that they have listed under "free"
So far the phone still runs butta smooth and my battery hasn't beening flying rapidly down..

i dont seem to see any kernel in rom manager for down load:/ a couple screen shots on where would be awesome if you have the time..
One major improvement for battery life is customizing Juice Defender. They way I set mine up is as follows:
Enable data for anything that requires data (i.e. browser, market, etc...)
Disable data for anything that doesn't require data (i.e. Launcher, Music, Messages, etc...)
Enable/Screen Off for anything you stream or tether (i.e. TuneIn, Grooveshark, DI, etc...)
What this does is only enable data for anything you actually need data for rather than right after unlocking the screen. Sure you may have to wait a second or two after launching the market before data is enabled, but by the time you're done typing in your search it should be ready to go anyways. Just a couple pennies for anyone trying to max out battery life...
Here is my screenshot.

This kernel is the exact same kernel in Viper 1.0.3. If you're getting better battery life it's probably from using the ROM for a few days and not from flashing.
Yea I was going to say but you beat me to it, they are the same kernels.
Let the ROM settle, and your battery life should increase over time, then hold steady.
