Litening is back in action with an ICS 4.0.3 version (yeay!) and he used to do a solid job on the old 2.3 Android Rom's. http://z13.invisionfree.com/Litening/index.php?showtopic=1
Have anyone coming from the CM9 ROM tried his new one and if so can they post on battery life impressions?
Litening is better I think.. but you have to try it depends a lot by the users
I've used cyanogenmod 9 for about a day and the battery life is horrible, although I haven't use Litening one must assume it is better than cm9 since it had taken the battery from full to 0% in a few hours with minimal use.
Hello
I have just come from a htc sensation with an ICS rom with nova launcher, getting around 20 hours battery life and a no bugs ICS experience with nova launcher and a few tweaks such as miui battery bar, centre clock etc.
I am currently using pure ICS with nova launcher set the way I want and it's very good but the battery lasts about 8 hours and there are no tweaks.
Are there any other ICS roms with better battery life and some tweaks? I can always put nova launcher on top if it is not in the rom.
I don't use the phone an awful lot and have the exact same apps andwidgets as on my sensation, hence why the battery life is strange to me, is this normal for a sgs2?
I was using the same rom , then Andyx from both ics and battery life on both was pants, I then flashed cm9 experimental which is now on nightlies and I think its the dogs bollox, only downside is no USB connect to PC until they fix it, but using from manager premium you don't need a PC anyway everything is straight to the phone, a minor hiccup for an awesome rom

Have you got a link for that rom? I can't find it anywhere
Might as well wait for release of genuine Samsung ICS .

I have been using CM9 and it's working amazing only thing is you need to live with no MTP, video recording and certain other things I forget *thats what google is for* I highly recommend it!

you could try WajkIUI if you like MIUI im on this rom for 2 weeks now and i'm really impressed
you could also wait about 2 weeks for ics to be released officially by Samsung
Whatever happened to trying out ROMs for yourself......
ICS is so 2011 we want Jelly Bean
ALL ICS roms which I've tried are not suitable for day to day use. CM9 by codeworx was the best I tried. better wait for a stable release.
this is a beautifull rom [ROM][ICS]XXLPH SconcauTeam Revolution Custom ROM GS2 OTA version
Resurrection Remix ics v9.4 black edition XXLPH 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe is a nice rom - has a few bugs though ... f.e. i cant change the lockscreen image ... the gallery keeps crashing... i had problems syncing google calendar...
well there are some small problems, but its a nice rom so far - pretty stable, smooth and fast.
[ROM] Lite'ning Rom v1.1 XXLPH - Fast as Lightning and

Great ROM. I didn't experience any FC's. Battery life is good. In my case 0 bugs so highly recommended! Check it out and see for yourself.
Or you could just try a bunch for yourself and tell us!

I don't want to try loads of roms, my main concern with my current one is the battery life so testing lots of roms isn't great for me as I need my phone at work, that's why I asked peoples opinions. I just want a nice ICS rom with a few tweaks and good battery life. I hate touch wiz so the official ICS update is no good for me.
The sgs2 is a lot faster than my sensation but with my current battery life I would rather swap back to the slower phone and get nearly three times the battery life.
There are also a lot of roms for the s2 hence why I asked people rather than trying loads and they also get updated nearly every day.
I suggest you don't go for ics just yet if your only real concern is battery and as for tw, tough luck I'm afraid.
Try the latest stock gb with neak custom kernels. Best battery life I ever had. Oh and on the subject of best roms, that's totally down to personal configuration.

Yes but ICS is a beta test rom base why not wait for roms to be built on the actual working firmware . I have yet to see one ICS beta based rom that does not have a problem or two and they tend to be random and varied judged by all the help ICS rom xxx dont work posts . Plus battery life is not that good on the leaks .
You might get ten replies that ICS zzz rom is good but wont see the hundred users that have removed it .

For instance, I have installed and uninstalled both LPH* and LitePro's ROM based on LPH*. Just don't even bother until the official build is released.

M current ICS ROM
If its any help, i'm using AndyX ROM v5.3. I haven't updated it yet to v6.0 since that has problems with the camera and gallery. Resurrection ICS is really nice but it makes my phone hot for some reason so i dont use it.

IMHO, best ICS rom out there. Using it for 5 days now (heavy user) - not a single FC in 5 days, very stable, fast, customization options rock! Battery life 12 hours really heavy usage / 24 hours moderate usage. No bugs, except video not saving and no FM radio, but these are known...
I am running on an Xperia Mini Pro and have tried just about every custom ROM available.
What is the best one for battery life?
FXP (CM 7.2 and 9.0) seem equally bad so far, usually lasting slightly less than a day with very little use. I find that my phone tends to get warm when running these ROMs.
Nero ICS and Hybro ICS seemed to give me between a day and two days.
I can get 2-3 days out of Sony's stock ICS ROM and about the same out of their stock GB rom.
Does anyone have any tips on increasing battery life? I usually run Juice Defender. Why do custom ROMs suffer from such poor battery life compared to Sony's stock ROMs?

Hey,
I would say for the moment stock ICS is the best your going to get. If you want to stay with ICS?
Dont use task killers or anything like that they waste more battery than they save and they mess with android native tasking. Juice defender, I dont know much about it but so I wont comment, but I would say that if you turn off wifi and BT and things when you aren't using then you shouldn't need anything to make your battery last longer. Also make sure the wifi sleep policy is set to 'always stay on' and yeah that should be about it tbh.
Cheers,
Evil

I suggest you use Zelly Cream ROM which can give you much battery life :

I miss the old AOSP roms I became accustomed to on my Nexus phones (Specifically AOKP). The last time I tried any (about 2 months ago), they couldn't begin to compare with the TW base (stock modified) roms in terms of Battery life. Well, today I about had it with my TW rom, so I was considering giving AOSP another try. Has anyone found a stable one that can still give me 6-7 hours on screen time?
All AOSP ROMs will provide about the same battery life. Pick whichever you like, CM will be similar to AOKP, Pacman, etc. The same goes for TouchWiz ROMs, they will all offer more or less the same battery life. Not sure you'll get better battery life on AOSP than TW, but no one AOSP ROM is going to significantly better than another with regards to battery life.

My experience with the non-TW roms is that they (counter-intuitively) provided significantly worse battery life. I was hoping that was because of their relative immaturity at the time I tried them ( a few months ago). Since I am not the sort that likes to switch roms every few days, I was hoping some people had some recommendations as to which had finally improved their battery life to be on-par with the stock based roms.
They are all going to be relatively the same. As one ROM includes fixes, it propagates out to the others. IMO, CM10.1 is probably going to be the most "mature" as that is likely where most of the updates come from, but if you're looking for a bug free experience, it's likely best to stick with TW.
Carbon has same battery life for me as touch wiz ROMs. However it does use the trinity kernel. The only aosp ROM that does. I'm running it still to this day. Like it.

My opinion probably doesn't mean much, but Carbon is my choice for AOSP. I've seen it pull about the same screen time for a battery charge as my Beans12 load. To each their own. :good:
Hello,
I found similar thread, but last post was almost 2 years ago.
So, I am asking what are actual benefits of installing CM or AOSP rom compared to stock one?
The next thing, are there some major bugs in non-stock roms?
I am not asking which of rom is best or better than another, I just want to know about comparison and benefits.
Stock has the better side for battery but aosp/cm/aokp has no lag.
Go for a stock custom ROM like alliance ROM ect ect..
They have the look of aokp/cm but keep the great battery life.
you can do a lot of customization on AOSP rom......
plus there is some nice new feature you can try out.....
CM is ok for daily use.....
