What is the most efficient CM ROM - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was wondering which of the CM ROMs is most efficient as far as memory and battery usage. Froyo, Gingerbread, or Jelly Bean?

I prefer jellybean. For jellybean use cyanaosp with rather the stock kernel or Mackay kernel. V6 supercharger

I decided to go with the ROMs from Fisherman. If I can every get Odin to detect my phone in download mode. But yea, I decided an actual phone ROM would be the best option instead of using ICS or Jb. There is less to maintain and I don't have to worry about bugs like bt and battery life.

Well you have to look at it this way. Our phone never even got gingerbread for it to run jellybean is a miracle bit it also consumes some ram while jellybean is awesome froyo was the last update our phone ever got

I would have to agree with you. I will only use this phone for work. So strictly no 3rd party apps other than skype. Not even a custom launcher. I think I shouldn't worry about memory consumption. Just rely on the awesome custom ROMs that the devs optimize.

I use the phone as a test subject now its my little brothers media player toy. You just gotta see what works best for you

Question for the thunderbolt community

Hey everyone, I am going to be trading some services (a mechanic is doing my breaks in exchange for me rooting and custom romming his lady's phone) and would like to know what your opinion is on the best thunderbolt ROMs available? She is currently on stock software and hates absolutely everything about her phone and how it behaves.
What would you guys recommend? I'm looking for functionality, reliability, battery life and the smallest amount of software bugs as possible.
Tweaked stock ROMs? AOSP? CM7 or 9? I know nothing about the thunderbolt community and would greatly appreciate any info you can give me.
Thank you everyone

Leaving it on a stock rom unless you plan on maintaining the rom for her..If she has no idea what shes doing then dont cause a headache for yourself, with techs its nothing to change out a rom, or if it gets buggy, well you get the point... the best thing would be a factory reset, or check the memory on the phone she prob has to many apps, install the apps from the sd card to free up the memory cuz im on a stock rom and its way fast, great battery, most of all the battery issues are from apps..just trying to save you a down the road..
I would go to the dev section of this forum and look at the ROMs and see what catches your eyes its opinion over opinion when saying stock is better than custom tons, I myself like custom roms because you can choose a wide variety of tweaks etc etc

LiquidRom 3.2 and use Rom Tool box built in to download pink theme, use built in theme chooser and apply theme, the get a pink keyboard skin and appy. Btw you can customize splash screen and bootanimation to her liking with Rom Tool box too. No bugs for me.

I use SkyRaider Zeus. Has an option to switch radio to 3g when screen is off which improved my battery life immensely.

You want no problems use zues.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Definitely a stock based ROM, like Zues. AOSP's battery life isn't as good as Sense (to no fault of the amazing devs of course).
I also suggest Imoyeson's leankernel 5.1.0GB in battsaver mode. Amazing performace with amazing battery life.
I also recommend Zues. ran it for a month straight no problems. only switched roms to see what else is out there
BAMF 1.11 with kernel+++ and turn off task manager at startup. Since I've installed the latest version of BAMF I've had zero fcs, great battery life and good speed. I'm a tech all day long with Windows PC and understand little about behind tor scene android functions. BAMF seems most reliable and low maintenance. Remember every phone responds different to the same os. It's just like gas every kia responds different to bp gas.

Collective Unofficial worked perfectly for me as an everyday device.
I'm currently on the CM9-based ICS ROM...and it still works fine as an everyday device. I feel I get about the same battery life on both those rom's and stock fw.

CM9, where'd you score that?

If you want everything to function correctly and stable and gingerbread go with collective un-official. This thread has the most random chatter not based on bug questions. This tells me that the ROM is very stable and people do not have to post about issues as much.

Saurom requires like 10 minuites of effort by you know what? Read the instructions carefully and you'll have one of the best att note roms to date.
Also my battery life has increased about 10-15% I now get about 4hrs and 30 mins of screen time when before I was getting about an hour less!
Worth the try.
ALSO don't ask any questions because its not that hard to install everything can be searched

Well, you have to keep in mind first of all that most JB rom development, although impressive, is typically in beta phase. All in all, jb is surprisingly stable, and can be used as a daily....but you may run into troubles. I ran JB a few times, each time for quite awhile...I was impressed but was much happier on ICS. ICS will typically have better battery life than JB...ICS also has more ram I believe (although I am not entirely certain...maybe someone can back this up). Ultimately, you'll have to test both yourself and decide what suits your personal needs best...but personally, I find ICS performing all around better than JB at this moment.

I need help finding a good kernel for my TB for the battery life

Please help or give me links please
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda app-developers app
There are quite a few different kernels and which one you should use will depend on a few factors.
The most important factors being:
What version of Android are you running?
Is it AOSP or Sense?
(ie: what rom are you using?)
I'm using liquid ics android version 4.0.4 just downloaded the from maybe 4-3 he's ago

There are no real ics kernels. Twisted has been messing with some of IMO lean kernels but people has been having issues with them.

If you want good battery life you'll have to go back to Gingerbread. ICS ROMs have poor battery life compared to earlier ROMs because they all use the kernel from the leak and there's no other kernel available for the T'Bolt.
The non-sense ICS ROMs *should* have better battery life but in my own experience they don't.
As always, YMMV.

The ICS leak did not have the kernel from what I'm told making it unavailable to update. Including overclock. But, if you know anything about what these OS updates do you would know that ICS was the most important update allowing the cpu and gpu to work simultaneously. So if you do upgrade to ICS, the ability to under volt is slim since the whole reason you need that extra power is to benefit from using them at the same time other than just for games. Anyhow, even if ics does come out in ota it's going to be a battery destroyer.

[Q] Which rom for best battery life and stability?

Hey guys I just purchased this one for my mother who is new to smart phones. I want to ask which rom is best for battery life and is stable? I searched on this forum and people were saying ICS Passion but that was a year or two ago and I saw that it is no longer supported. It was be awesome if you guys could recommend me a rom since my mom isn't much of a flash-a-holic so I don't want to flash each and every rom to test it for a day or two.
Thanks for the help.
*As compared to stock.
Since she's new to smartphones, I'd suggest a Froyo ROM. They have great battery life and simple to use interface. I can't say specifically which Froyo is better because I have JB. (Which I don't recommend for newbies.)
Well unfortunately the problem is almost every ROM is no longer coming out with new builds because they have moved on to new things. This means that they are all working on 4.2.1. Yet cm10 and hellybean are both very stable 4.1 ROMs. This is what I am running at the moment
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
I have a hard time believing someone actually recommended Passion.
I would go with either bionix (froyo) cm7 stable build or cm10. Don't flash a ICS ROM, you run the risk of EU bug.

Which is kind of a shame because ICS zen was of the best ROMs I've ever used... Agreed to the rest
Amen, ICZen is/was the bah-bah-zee!
