Root Most stable ROM for battery life

[gobirds895]

Im using CM7 RC1 right now, and it seemed stable at first, but now it constantly reboots and force closes when theres phone activity. What is the most stable ROM available at this point (preferrably Gingerbread) that provides the best battery life? Or should I resort back to one of the nightlies?

Did you flash RC1 on top of a nightly or just straight after a full wipe? RC1 works best when flashed over a nightly (I flashed it over #39). I have not had any issues with RC1

I did flash it over a nightly, but i did a full wipe and backup. Should i try reflashing a nightly and then reflash RC1 without a wipe?

You should probably wipe data and cache and flash RC1 + Google apps only.

For optimal battery life, it's not always about the ROM. There are some kernels better for battery life than others. Check out HeyIt'sLou's kernels, and Chad's kernels.

AMEN, but you have to make sure the Kernel is compatible with the rom you choose. if you want to stick with CW7 try chad's incredikernal. the latest i think it is 2/22/2011 the one that says GB in the title. this one is killer for batterylife. also the the reboots may be because you are overclockingng it too much. in settings/cynogenmod/performance look under cpu settings and make sure max is set properly 998 is standard. if you want to overclock then you may have to turn wifi to sleep "never" this will fix most random reboots
