Best battery life....? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering here from you guys, what rom/kernel have you seen with the best battery life?
For me it was perfect storm v1.3 (froyo), and an adrynaline rom

Every tbolt is different. What combo works great for one phone might not be as good for another.
I'm currently using CM7 with the kernel that comes with it. I'm also using the OTA MR2 radio. I have green power premium and setcpu profiles and am getting great battery life so far.
I've been using the phone more or less none stop for 6 or 7 hours now and at 59%. I'm also absolutally in love with CM7.

*Just for fun* whats your favorite rom and why? :)

Ill go first ha.
I like miui because I don't like sense, I think it hogs space and I have always liked aosp.

Cm7 fast the best of all rom!
The upcoming ICS rom...lol
CM definitely. I love AOSP, and I love the customization that CM has.
CleanROM 1.3 DE for me. Fast, clean and liking Sense, MiUi aosp and cm7 all look like iPhone OS. And a few things still dont work on those builds. 4G, 3D camera and some have wifi problems.
Miui here. Customization and speed is crazy.
And as long as this thread stays civil, it should be fun.

WTSB hydro 3.5 because it's the best. Devs are very responsive.
Evo 3D in full Affect
Miui is cool. Warm TwoPointThree is cool. And the devs for both are cool, as well as the user base.

Warm twopointthree is a very cool, responsive ROM. It also went RLS 1 today

Synergy Rom latest nightly build is amazingly fast and smooth.. everything works except screenshot picture pressing menu + power..
Definitely infected eternity. This is the fastest and smoothest ROM I've been on yet. I like the theme as well. I an a sense fan so I enjoy this ROM more than aosp, but I do like flashing cm once in a while as well.

I too have to go with infected eternity, fast, smooth and the theme is great

I'm currently running 5 Rom's with boot manager. If you have not checked out that app yet u guys need to. But as far as favorite ROM that goes to warm2.3 as it is pure silk. I love the theme and the modded rosie just looks so so clean.
Currently I'm running miui as my phone ROM. I love the the themeing you can do on it plus its fast and stable. I don't worry Bout 4g as I live 400+ miles from any sort of 4g. But I do like to show off the 3d camera every now and again. So I invested in boot manager. Now if I want I just boot up a different rom. No more flashing back to stock to change a prl or use epst I just boot up a sense ROM change it and boot back to aosp.
Kinda off track I know lol. But its so hard to decide what I wanna run at any given moment. I like eternity for raw speed. I like miui for the theming. Warm 2.3 is silky smooth and sexy outta the box. Cm7 is well its cm7 its awesome. I've got different rom's for different things. Warm is set up to usb tether to my Linux pc where as eternity is set up to usb tether with winxp. I use cm with tiamat kernel kernel if i know I'm gonna be away from a charger for a while. Miui to be flashy and show off. And I also use bender bliss sense 3.5 just cause I can..
Currently I have my setup as follows
Phone Rom is miui with tiamat kernel
Slot one is infected eternity with antrax kernel
Slot two is warm 2.3 with bc blend kernel
Slot three is cyanogen mod7 valpha3 tiamat kernel
Slot four is bender bliss sense 3.5 with stock kernel.
So there those are my top five in no particular order whatsoever. Thanks to boot manager I don't need to pick "just one" ever again.

eternity
overclocked to 1.7 runs awesome for me. plus sense 3.5
CM7 (minus the NFL mobile) is my favorite. Bamf forever kicks ass as well.

LOVE some CM7.
Hate not having a functional NFL Mobile app.

MIUI is my favorite so far.
How does Eternity compare to Bamf/Bamf Soab? It's hard to find clear comparisons with all of the variety out there.
ps. I'm actually still on the stock GB rom right now
Enternity here as well.
I believe because of all the Sense 3.5 elements, it's a hair slower than others.
Mine is OC'd to 1.2 with Lagfree Governer.
That being said, it's fine with me.
Rock solid. I've dabbled in every ROM out there.
BAMF does make a solid ROM. DroidTh3ory was making killer ROMs.
I have a backup of ProTekk's updated CM style ROM to go just because...
In my opinion, Eternity and BAMF SonOfAB ran very similar in speed/performance and reliability.
Patiently waiting working Data, Phone and sms/mms on Twisted/DroidVicious ICS build...
All the ROMs you mentioned are solid. But the right one for you is like asking you what kind of car/truck you drive.
Backup, try 'em...only way you'll know.
Using MIUI although the Son of a Bliss ROM was also one that kept me for a long time. I still feel CM7 has battery drain issues but maybe it's just me.
Eternity for me...
My only other choice would be BAMF SoaB because I want Sense 3.5 but I prefer Eternity and I really can't think of a reason why, it just works for me.
CM7 for me!
Love my 11/14 release of CM7. I have never had batt issues, maybe cause I cal the batt after each new rom?
CM7 seems to me the closest total Android experience I have found for my TB.
I'm looking forward to CM9!
Where can I download cm7 or soab

Bamf forever 1.11
Liquid Thunderbread is pretty slick (2.6 is the latest). I'm on Liquid ROM 3.2 right now and its running like a broken glass bottle with a 1.5ghz processor. Its smooth, sharp and runs at 1.5ghz.
Signature.

Tired of flashing...need solid ROM

Alright so to be honest I'm sort of getting tired of Android itself and the whole rooted aspect...and I have been a flash-a-holic for over 2 years now. I am simply tired of flashing new stuff all.the time and dealing with bugs after having the ROM installed for a while. I prefer AOSP but I am definitely willing to give Sense a try. I do like minimalism and I am currently running Viscious ICS MIUI and so far its been great but I have terrible battery life with it. I really just want a ROM that looks great stock and is very solid with everything working, but is also updated frequently and actively developed. Any suggestions? (I thought about going back to stock, but figured that would be pointless)
Sent from my HTC Mecha using xda premium
Eternity, updated consistently hardly any bugs and if there is virus fixes them asap.. its sense stock is cool but you have the choice in a few badass themes I'd suggest the dark horse theme cuz its amazing!

skyraider. been through them all and always go back
I appreciate the replies I keep hearing about eternity and think I will try it...hell even the presentation of the thread itself is clean and makes me want to try it. I will also try Skyraider as I hear that's a great ROM and I never ended up trying it.

BAMF Forever is fast, fluid, and is my daily ROM
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Skyraider. I have the "dialer problem" running down the battery after a phone call. His option to turn off LTE when phone sleeps took care of that. Only ROM I've found that doesn't use up my battery in a few hours.
Try bamf son of a bliss for me it made me jabe the best battery lofe without sacrificing performance give it a try, i am not using fmkmz what thee rom and its awesome but doesnt have as great of a battery life as soab

[Q] Which ROM is your daily driver?

I need a daily driver. Just wanted to get everyone's opinions. Currently using
MIUI-NB. It is pretty awesome, but has a few annoying bugs that i can't live with ( e.g. call volume). Before that I was using Project V and Bionix 1.3. Both are top notch ROMs that are very stable and have great battery life. They just seem a bit dated. There has to be something better by now. Would appreciate your thought.
A BIG THANKS TO ALL DEVS! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
ICS Passion v10 is pretty sweet. And pretty stable. 10.6 has some bugs. Make sure you flash GB boot loaders!
Also can't go wrong with a 360 productions rom like miui lithium or miui prime.
Nick knows his Miui.

If you're ok with 2.2 try toxic 8 (9 I'd out now but 8 works better for me). I'm using that with the gb theme (it comes with a black and white theme, which I normally like but this one was a little off). Toxic has amazing battery life too, along with Bali 1.8.8uv and juice defender it lasts forever and is very smooth. I just swapped out the theme market and Swype and all is good.
I've been using jet pack for a few days so far and am loving it

Thunderbolt Users Unite

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?
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
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!
My Verizon works fine on Eternity....
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.
