Yes, Moon, I'm speaking to you. But everybody else, please provide some feedback, as I would highly appreciate the help.
I've attached some pics of what's running on my system. By far the most battery intensive processes are "System processes"
Here they are. Any help toward the goal of alleviating battery woes would be highly appreciated.
Rom: Auxura 2.0.5 with Eugene Kernel B 1120, JK2 Modem, on all black theme.

Thanks!
If you remove "WiFi calling" you will get allot more battery.
It is the reason I removed it from the ROM in the first place..
^ I figured that was the case for removing wifi calling... do you plan on removing DRM also?
Definitely removed drm there's two of them.
Master thanks for the heads up on wifi calling but it happens to's be one of the apps that I must have because of no reception here. That's why I phrased my question specifically to system processes.
Thanks again. Still looking for some insight.

I'm also running Axura 2.0.5 with the 1120 kernel and I'm also getting awful battery life. I think it has more to do with the kernel and the lag fix then with the rom. When I was running Axura with it's stock kernel battery life was fine. Now I only get about 10 to 12 hours even with very little use.

Amen charlie. Thanks for the response.
Im trying to figure out what the deal is with system processes. But yes you're right performance over longevity. Kernel b is a lifesucker.
Thanks for the post.

This might help, I use Axura 2.0.5 and Obsidian v5, my system panel was always running and my battery life sucked. I would loose 10 - 20% battery in sleep mode.
So I tried 7 different kernels and all the ULF lagfix's till one worked.
Automemory killer
Kernel Stock-22
Lagfix RyanZA one click, "move all apps off the SD card back to the phone"
It's in the directions under help
Using the phone as I normally do, I was able achieve 1 day 4 hours with 22% left with out charging.
Other ppl are doing better "I think" but, this works for me. Hope it helps.

If oh had token guess is say it was b kernel killing all the battery. Still experimenting.
Appreciate the help.

thank u sir and nice wall paper there (is that a live wallpaper?)
Love the look, just wish it was in a matching green color.
needs to be green please!
I guess anyone with a desire to do it and a good picture editing program can go edit the files. Any volunteers. I have only MS Paint at my disposal, and I don't think that will cut it.
Where are the pitures in the .apk? I cant seem to find them....
Perfect! Thank you!
res\drawable-hdpi-v4\stat_sys_battery_0.png all the way to stat_sys_battery_100.png as well as stat_sys_battery_charge_anim0.png to stat_sys_battery_charge_anim26.png
Thanks! Did not look hard enough...
No problem, I just had to dig around to find it. There's a LOT of files in there.
Yessir.
No offense to jocelyn over at TW forum, but this is so much better!!! Thank you!
I think some people didn't like the size of this one, hence her mod. Hers also keeps the stock look more. Myself I prefer this one, but more options are definitely a good thing.
Im working on a green version of this now...no promises. This is the first time ive tried something like this...
very nice mod
Thanks! Saved me the time of creating one. Did you have to do anything special to get it to recompile?
Okay, these are what I found.
First, idk if is a bug but after I reboot my phone, Launcher Pro freezes, with the web icon highlighted...weird. (this happened more than once. Another app just started to FC every time but...yeah)
Second, I don't like how the icon flashes between"Full" and charging sign. It distracts me, as I leave my phone charged while using.
Lastly, the icon says "Full", when the phone says it is 96%. I do see that the circle is not all the way filled up but it gives me an inaccurate idea of the battery.
Thanks,
***EDIT: I noticed that the real FULL reads 100%. Then I am confused between "100" and "Full"...
I don't know exactly how long this has been happening, but recently I noticed that my phone doesn't seem to fully sleep. Opening Spare Parts it tells me that it is awake pretty much 100% of the time (see photos)... more than likely what's been raping my battery. Also, I have no idea what "Phone on 0.0%" means. Right now I am running Bionix 2.1, Dragon Kernel 3.1.2 w/Voodoo enabled, and KB1 modem.

If I had to guess..it would be the Dragon Kernel raping your battery. Try a stock kernel and see if you get the same results
I understand that using Dragon Kernel will use more battery than stock, but has anyone else using it experienced the 100% awake thing? I am more concerned about the phone not "sleeping" ever which has to REALLY be using the battery.

Check the settings and make sure your display and other settings it may be stuck (not sure how that could happen) but try messing with the various settings then reboot and check to see if that works. If not it may just be a quirk in the rom/kernel and reflash a different rom or kernel
Well so far I have ODIN'd, reflashed Bionix 2.1, and flashed a different kernel with the same results... 100% time spent without sleeping. Any other ideas?
I'm having the same issues as the OP. I'm currently running eugene's lates kernel in the Dev forum. I forget which number it was.
I'm starting to think it might be an app. I uninstalled a few apps and I haven't found the culprit yet. About to uninstall everything and start from there. According to System Panel, Spare Parts is a cpu hog or whatever.

I'm running ICS Passion with Kiss kernel 2.2 right now. My battery has always been iffy however, so i don't think it's the ROM.
I'd appreciate any help though:
This was last night. battery was fully charged at around 3 am.
I killed all apps.
by 11 am with very little use, it was down to 10%

When i look at the Top Apps, nothing looks like it's using too much CPU, so i'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone explain?
Why would i lose so much battery, when it looks like the phone was sleeping?
What am i missing here?
Thank you!
Have u tried a app call CPUSPY?
Its in the play store (android market)
That app let's u see if your phones really in deep sleep...
Hi krackerjac,
Thanks for the advice. I installed CPU Spy this morning....
1000 MHz 7% 0.35.45
200MHz 89% 6.51.47
no deep sleep, even though i didn't use the phone mch all day.
System Panel shows a 100% drop in 8 hours.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
It should be on deep sleep most of the time. What background apps are you running?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
That's what I can't figure out. I think google sync is always on, From the Top Apps screen of System Panel, it seems that system and system processes are the highest consumers, but I'm not sure how else to tell?
Download Watchdog and see what apps are using your CPU. Also, turn off auto sync, as they might be keeping the phone awake by constantly trying to fetch new emails, contacts, etc.
Sent from my amazing G2x running Bionix Reloaded v1.4
I have Watchdog. it says Android System 5.4%, System UI 1.6%, Google Services Framework 1.0%. Everything else is below 1%
With auto-sync, is there a way to control this automatically. For example, i don't need autosync to operate between 1 and 7am, but want it to turn on again at 7am, and need it on the whole day so i can get my emails.

I don't think so, you can change the frequency of the fetching(updating) however. Or put the power control widget on your home screen and turn it on when you need to, and off when you don't.

Ugh, must've been a part of TouchWiz or LG's skin, because I cant find it off of the stock app.

Try the Icy Glitch Kernel and see if that helps with battery life.
Also, try the AOKP rom, its more or less the same thing as Passion, but works a lot better than Passion did, at least for me.
Ended up downloading an app called Better Battery Stats. Found that my GPS location provider was running down the battery. This was because the Beautiful Widgets was set to geolocation, and so gps was pretty much running all the time.
Much better battery life now.
Thanks for all your help!
I have a question about Project Epsilon v3 ROM.
I'm currently on 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU ICS leak.
I'm going to install this rom via Bootmenu.
And here is my question. Do I have to wipe data or only cache and dalvik? Or maybe I don't have to wipe data but it is better to do so?
Thanks in advance!
Better do it I personally always do that, or just follow the ROM guidelines, now is easier to get all the apps with titanium and other apps.
Also to update from v3 to v4 I recommend full wipes to because I had some problems with wallpapers and widgets.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Thanks! I did the wipe, however I have few new question.
First. Is it really worth to upgrade to v4? I heard that there are some problem with it and some people said that it's better to stick to V3.
Second. I did battery calibration like in ROM guide once (Did it today that's why), however I'm still having terrible battery life with display taking 80% of power. Any solution for that?
I'd stay in V3. What do you call terrible battery life? There are some threads that approach battery "readings". The info portrayed by widgets and some apps could be misleading IMHO. That 80% is how much battery the screen has used but not out of the total battery. I have gotten almost two days on a single charge, and screen consumption is never less than 70%. That is regardless of the time i check the battery information. It seems battery will constantly be in that 70, 80% area.

And it always takes 1-2 days or more for the battery to "settle" when you change ROM.
Try using CPU Sleeper in Play. It switches off 1 of the cores on a dual/quad core phone, everytime your screen is turned off. It works better than the Sleep option when you press the On/Off button on the phone, this Sleep option doesn't ring when someone tries calling you. With CPU Sleeper - on my tests it lost 5% battery life in 12 hours.

Wow if that is the case I'm going to give that a shot!!
I have one more question.
I use blur camera but i miss this cool sound when taking photo that was on GB and ICS Leak. But in project epsilon there is only some kind of beeb. Is it possible to bring back photo making sound? xP! That would be coool!
I've tried some methods like:
App Ops (root) - Disabled location and wakelock
Wakelock Terminator - Prevent wake lock (with filters: NIpCollectorWakeLock NIpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator)
The battery usage is still high (higher than the screen usage), and the awake time on battery history occurs a lot (see image).
Has anyone fixed this? Or has anyone just generally improved battery life through something similar?
Kernal: 2.2 bonuzzz
ROM: Eudemony Rom Alpha V3
Thanks

I'll also give it a go. Trying with an app that simulates init.d executions also, so if it works, I may be able to automate it on boot.
Thanks for the heads up. Will report back in a day or so

So, at the end of the day. I tried many different approaches to solve this issue such as:
preventing wakelock
using applications like greenify to reduce usage
removing google services permissions
preventing syncing
None of these seemed to help a lot (and some even made battery lift worse!).
So, I've removed all of my battery saving apps etc, and have just resorted to disabling location (when I don't need it).
That seems to have done the trick and my phone is no longer waking up nearly as much as it was before.
I know its not the best fix, and its just a band-aid, but its better than terrible battery life.
Hopefully someone has a better fix soon.
Thanks
Tried "Amplify"?
You could also try an Xposed Module called "Amplify" to limit your wakelocks. Look here "[Mod][Xposed] Amplify - Battery Extender - Control alarms, services, and wakelocks" for detailed information.
You will need root and Xposed Framework.
