HI,
I just desired to know what is your take to be your preferred everyday rom for xperia x10.
I am surely looking for one; preferably jb or ics rom who's got low battery drain.
Any tips are welcome and appreciated
And i am a casual gamer so no hardcore gaming ability is required. Moreover i already have nova launcher so nothing fancy is required as well
thanks.

I am currently new to the Sony Xperia S ROM development.
My previous Android device was a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.
Though I liked my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Sony Xperia S is absolutely brilliant though it does have some minor hiccups.
Basically, all I really want is a balanced/stable ROM (2.3 Gingerbread) that has good battery life.
I am a big texter. I check my phone often. I use it a lot so I am pretty much a heavy user. I bought my Sony Xperia S 1 day ago, everything is brilliant except for battery life. I have already unlocked boot loader and I am bout to root it now. I am thinking of choosing a ROM that's perfect for my needs.
What I look for in a ROM:
. Good battery life
. Balanced performance / no lagg
. Increased data (My Optus provider, in my opinion has HORRIBLE data, takes ages to load "Draw Something")
. I don't mind any battery icon as long as there is a battery % or battery number shown somewhere
. Stock Xperia S icons / applications such as message, phone, contact
. NO useless applications / bloat ware installed such as, "Timescape" (I only use Facebook, nothing else), "Sony" (I don't have any Sony devices and I don't have money to pay for the movies, games, etc) that eat battery life
I know that some ROMs cannot possibly have all the things I wrote down but what ROM would you guys recommend that suite some of the stuff I listed?
Also, when you guys have given me recommendations, please also state a kernal that works well with that ROM. Once I have chosen what ROM I have decided to use, I will post it up on this thread.
Thank you so much for posting on this thread!
I appreciate all feedback given! :3

there are not many ROMs , because ICS will be released soon, but I have come through some in last couple of days, havent tried them though. So try to look at this XHS ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630005
and KA05.2 Xperia SSpeed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604415
there are lists of improvments so I hope you ll find something that will suit your needs
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
My suggestion is

Please just try some and find the best kernel for your usage. We are not allowed to talk about best kernel/rom
What the RC posted above here....Thanks.
I have been using KA ROM for a while. I am currently running KA ROM 12. I have always been a fan of his work but now I feel the need for change because KA ROM 13-16 have major battery issues. I find KA ROM 12 the most stable and battery preserving.
This is some things I look for. One is that the UI icons would be Sony default. I just like how Sony icons looks compared to Samsung Galaxy Nexus etc.
A ROM that is stable. No random stuttering. Decent battery life or even battery saving, this is because I know the Sony Xperia S is a powerful device but it would be even better if the battery performance matched up. Another is the battery percentage. I do not like Sony's battery icon but I do like the circular battery icons.
One of the ROM's I was considering: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827128
Why? Because I hear good things about it and because of the battery tweaks. It really has caught my attention. But on this ROM, is uses the Samsung Galaxy Nexus icons which I am not a big fan off. I know there isn't a lot of SXS developers atm but what I am asking from experience from other users, what "Sony Stock-Like ROM" is good. Battery life / performance, etc.
Ever tried stock rom? About battery percentage you can easily flash with cwm from theme.

Honestly, I have tried stock ROM's and I do love them. But there is only one issue I have with them and that's bloatware. Because I am just a user and not a developer, I wouldn't be sure which things I should un-install in Titanium Backup, etc.
You could try Dualcore 5.2. For me, the ROM is super smooth with no bloatware, battery often lasts about 23 hours with 3g always on. Flash it with nullvoid tweak and you are done
You could actually try some out for yourself.
I know it sounds like a crazy idea but the truth is, if you can't help yourself others won't help you.
Hi everyone,
i have this problem of having low battery life when I choose roms that are .587(baseband77) based. I usually have good battery life when I am on any .431(bb 72) based roms.. it's just that i want to experience those 587based roms with me having good battery life so that i can use them for daily purposes. I dont usually do other thing other than SMS/Call on my Xperia Neo V. i just wonder how i could be able to get rid of low batt life on the latest rom. (scripts/tweaks ?) i dont know what to do so please help me.
ive been through JellySandwich, AOKP JB, and MIUI v4. so far MIUI (which actually is .431based,bb72) gave me good batt life.
if anyone can kindly help me on this , i would love that : )thank you! cheers!
You can use baseband 72 on .587 rom.
Try with that.
bro i had done first. then tried changing my bb77 (thinking of compatibility sake) then still i had barely a day of battery life :S
Olay guys I don't want to insult any developer nor do I want to start a war here
I am quite frustrated about my Xperia sola that it does not sattle for me in any rom I tested
Gb is too old
Ics is too laggy
Jb is good but iy has keyboard crashes and when persistent keyboard is used it starts to la
Kit kat has poor battery life
Lollipop is on initial stages which is highly unstable
I wanted to ask you guys that which rom are you using and why?
Plus how much battery life lasts in that rom in normal usage

any ICS rom should be best for battery life, i have experienced many JB roms (all are based on munjeni's port? so it's actually the same rom with some tweaks) and they drain the battery very fast, which gets me to the second issue, you should check what kernel you are using, because that can make a difference too, what governors you are using, if you are using greenify or amplify to reduce system load.
anyway, the sola is a poor phone, except for the dual core cpu i find it very problematic, with the touchscreen errors while charging, battery drain jumps (all of a sudden 20% of the battery goes away), charging problems and so on, it's an experiment sony tried but it seems it didn't work out that well, the floating touch which I think is the source of all these problems never caught on and was not added to any device since then, still the sola is a special device for the ones that want a phone with special features (e.g. the only phone in the world with floating touch).
