If your or some ROM isn't here, let me know. I'll edit the poll
I'm using Nessy:Hypnos and I'm happy with the battery drain. 2% drain during night at idle (8h). I can say it lasts a day and a half before going under 20%.

I have the same drain in LOL, but only when I use francofrancisco's tweaks with this ROM.
And where is Megatron ROM?

A day and a half as in 36 hours? Only 20%!? What is your usage pattern?
I have a friend with RLS5 in a Blade with 60h of battery life... with 23% left battery to use.
I think..LOL 1.4.2 and OpenOptimus are the most durable rom..(sorry for my english)
In this moment devoid.franco.
Or maybe anyone but CyanogenMod 7, that drain my batt 20% in the night
It doesn't really matter as long as you know how to configure it to save as much juice as it can. SetCPU profiles does the most for me. Running slightly modified stock.
i use CM7..for me this rom is good for the battery life..but for anyone is different..I spend about 2 days with one carge..so you can try and decide

That would depend on you ... But I cannot stress this enough ... before writing off a ROM, be sure your battery is calibrated ... that makes a big diff
I was using my own ROM and used to get about 35~40 hours ... 2g always enabled ... fb, twitter, corporate mail, gmail always sync ... chat a lot ... dont play too many games ...
Nw on CM7 by mik_os and get about 30 hours with similar use ... I stick to this as its gingerbread + CM settings ... plus pretty much bug free ... only drawback is divX doesn't work
Definitely not CM7. It's not terrible bad, but compared to the ROM I used before, Void, it was worst. I don't have a huge problem with battery life except for that one night I lost 20% over night standby. The one other ROM I tried was Void and I thought that ROM was overall very good combined with good battery life, but I switched to CM7 just because I liked gingerbread. Compared to other phones CM7 battery life is normal.

You should try mobo player, it plays divx well.
I am also using CM7, and my battery hold on maximum 15hours. 3g enabled all day and tons of sms/calls. So carry charger in office/car/home
Stock ROM has awesome battery life too..

Yes it does. I use a stock 2.2.1 and it lasts about 48 hours before going below 25%.
I use it moderately. About 1 hour calling/day. 2-3 hours Wifi/day. Data always on 2G. 3G causes it to last about half the time. Games for about 1 hour/day.
devoid.franco consume 1% of the batt between 10pm and 7am (with all off, overclock 428-729 smartass).
CM7 consume 20% the same hours (all off, 245-600).
Im presently running on Stock rom with devoid.franco kernel v11..Getting great backup. 2 days with some calls, lots of sms, occasional browsing on edge and lots of music. Pretty happy with that.
Nessy is the one that i prefer does much better than the stock rom ever did. i can now use programs like pandora in the car and actually use the phone later

Yes, i like Megatron.
This is stable.
also nessy here it lasted me 3days and still it has 30% left.
I've attached 2 pics, it seems my batt drain is terrible. Anyway to fix it? I used cfs due to its stability.

As I see, your rom is 2,2 android? Try to read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185241 download the BetterBatteryStats app and check which process or wakelock is draining your battery. If its DataTracker-FD wake lock, than it seems that 2,3 and 2,2 android is having Fast Dormancy issue..
I'm experiencing heavy battery drain. I installed betterbatterystats and found out that AlarmManager is keeping my device awake. What to do? Running CM7 6.6

I can say just by looking at your screenshots that u run too many background apps and widgets... try removing all of them and watch your battery drain.
I used to experience high battery drain and that was because the miriad of little apps running in background. They don't let your phone sleep, even when the screen is off.
Now my phone's battery lasts for at least 40 hours and that's with heavy Wi-fi, some 2G/3G, some gamming and music. About 1-2% battery drain per hour on idle and that's because I still run some widgets (and gmaps). Right now it's marking 53 hours and still at 27%, but thats 'cause I'm home on my PC.
Edit: Oh! Also just noted u use franco.kernel 18.1... get rid of it, it's been reported by many users (me included) that it causes battery drain. Get back to 18.0.
I could revert but I forgot the changes from v18 to v18. 1 " anyone can kindly tell me?

Can you please let me know what are the settings you've on your phone? I have Mik's CM7 with Franco's kernel v18. OC 748/245 Smartass. Auto-sync turned OFF. Only 2G networks. Brighntess 40%. Not having a lot of apps. Set Auto-refresh to "No" in apps like Facebook and Twitter. So basically no app tries to connect to internet unless I turn them ON manually. Only Google search, digital clock and power control widgets. No gaming and almost no music.
With all these I'm able to get around 30 hrs of battery life with moderate usage and 20 hrs of battery life with heavy usage, mainly Wifi. How do you manage to get so much battery life? Can you please let me know your configuration and the other settings as well?
Thanks in advance.

That's unnecessary and useless to downgrade. Mik's 6.6, franco's gingerbread kernel and scary governor, you get unbeatable battery life. Unfortunately you get some bugs too for now but mik's back and andy's working on his new rom so soon you'll see those bugs squashed.
try use v18 bfs franco kernel
What the title says.

all roms are gonna be similar in terms of battery life. Battery life really depends on what measures you take to reduce idle usage.
-download "green power / premium" and set it to turn off data while the screen is off
-keep wi-fi, btooth and gps off when you're not using them
-use "setcpu" and create a profile for when the screen is off, limiting processor load
-download "battery calibration" and charge phone to 100%. Use the app.
I do all these things (I use battery calibration after flashing every new rom / kernel/ ect) and on CM7 with a 1.3ghz OC, I got 18 hours of battery life with high usage. I've only used 5% of my battery in 4 hours with little use (mostly idle)
I've tried pretty much every ROM. The one I got the best battery life out of was pi crust 0.7. I'm currently on Aura 1.1.3.8 bloat with the stock att kernel and battery life isn't horrible, but nowhere near as good as pi crust.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
+1 on πcrust 0.7 I can can 30hours + on a single charge with moderate use. Over Clocked 1.1hghz and Under volted slightly.
Yeah, I used to be on Picrust and the battery life was really good. I got tired of the stock experience though so I installed Alien w/ theme. The ROM is really good, but the battery life is not consistent. Sometimes it's as good as PiCrust and other times it barely gets through the night.
if you do the things I told you to, the alien rom will get much better battery life. I used to be on alien 4 and got 30+ hours on a full charge
Ninja SpeedFreak gives me by far the best battery life over anything else. 40-50hours. Tried Alien, RedPill, Aura Debloat, Aura Accounts, PiCrust, Froyo stock, GB stock (Bell). Nothing but SpeedFreak will consistently get me more than 20 hours.
How you guys get even 2 days of battery??
I am tired of tryin gall the combinations of settings / kernel / ROMS nothing has helped till date.
I am not able to get battery for a complete day. Freaking it drains it off in 9-10 hours.
There are users who are getting 2 days of battery with wifi/edge on at all the time, with overclocked phone, and many other options enabled. But I am not getting any of these.
My usage includes
* 1-2 hrs of music
* 1-2 hrs of edge
* frequent texting but can be summarized for 1 hr in a day.
* hardly 10-30 mins of calls
* 10-30mins of games
CyanogenMatt 1.1
franco kernel 19.4 gbs v18cfs
InteractiveX 480-600 mhz
all this is normal and way below average usage but still I am not able to get battery life. I hate recharging the phone after every few hours. Have searched forums tried suggestion but nothing worked.
Maybe I am choosing wrong combination of ROM / kernel , I have gone complete clueless now, any help or suggestion is welcome.

It is because of usage patterns. Based on your usage, I think its normally for your battery to drain just like that.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Thanks for replying terratrix,
but users are using continuous wi-fi and get a complete day of battery, I dont even use that. AFAIK wi-fi uses more battery than EDGE. Can you suggest me proper ROM+kernel combination?
I installed cyanogenmatt 1.1 thinking it would improve battery life but it didnt.

Well theta because they are using the phone less often. You are wrong , wifi consumes far less battery than edge. Wifi on standby drains minimal battery.

It's mostly about background tasks. Install supercharger and a task killer to kill your tasks on screen off. Then disable unneeded autostarting applications with Gemini or Autostarts. This way I get about 1% battery for 4 hours without using my phone. And I strongly advice you to use 480/YourMaxStable with SmartassV2 as Smartass automatically manages the current CPU frequency. Your brightness should be between 25 and 50%. And also disable any unused at the moment radio (including mobile data).
how would I disable radio?
do you mean not using radio is disable it??
Well here's how my phone goes on for 2 days
android assistant app for cleaning memory every 10 minutes and for killing apps on startup
Advanced task killer for killing tasks(set on auto kill)
Antutu power saver which has some good features(puts phone on flight mode at night for few hours)
or use juice defender(has extra features)
try keeping edge/3g/wi-fi/bluetooth/gps off when not using(saves a lot of battery)
reduced brightness(40-50%)
and keep screen off when not in use
also keep OC freq at 729/480 its the best know OC for our phone performance and battery wise
and InteractiveX is well know for battery saving
(i prefer on-demand because of performance and gaming )
the above things help me use my phone for 2 days or i must say 1&1/2 day
with 4-5 hours gaming(3d HD games)
1-2hours browsing the net
few messages and calls here and there
on a full charge and normal usage at the end of the day i have phone battery at 40-50%
A radio is basically a wireless I/O device. GPS, Bluetooth, Baseband, WiFi, FM... - these are different types of radios. They drain power when powered on so if you want battery life you should simply disable the ones that you aren't using at the moment.
@viv_jen: There is no need to autokill every 10 minutes if you don't have unneeded autostart applications. Task managers also drain battery if used too often. It's also a good idea to use the long-press back key feature of CyanogenMod (It kills the currently visible task).
To pitch in my 2 cents worth,
I've found wifi uses quite a bit less than edge/3g data on this particular phone.
This phone has shocking battery life, even for a smartphone.
What you are getting seems about normal for your usage. My battery will be between 20 and 30% after 4 hours of music and 3g browsing. Once I stop doing these things it goes down at about 2% an hour on wifi, about 3% an hour on 2g, and 5% an hour on 3g. I ended up keeping my charge cable on me when I go places and actively use the phone, and "topping up" the battery when I'm sitting at a desk or whatever.
thank you guys for valuable inputs,
could the combination of ROM + kernel also help?
I tried cyanogenmatt + goldenleaf after some of the user suggested that it gives enough battery.
I also heard void gives a good battery.

yep it does
for me atleast
@nogav: WiFi drain depends mostly on Tx (Transmit) power. Mostly we receive information from the internet (Which means Rx is way more important than Tx), so after running a few speed tests (Speedtest.net app) at each option avaliable at the Wifi Tx Power app from market I found out that internet speed at a Tx power of 4dBm is roughtly the same as for 32dBm. Also, our device only supports 801.11b/g mode, so internet speed isn't the best thing about Optimus One (Excluding HDSPA).
@droidevil: The thing that drains most battery is Stagefright. It is able to play 520p mp4 videos almost smoothly, but it is a battery killer. Hardware acceleration also increases performance at the cost of battery, but it is reasonably balanced. Other things that depend on roms: number of preinstalled apps. Deodexed apps load faster, and the less of them there are, the faster the phone boots and runs. If you have about 100-200 programs installed, Autostarts, Advanced Task Killer and Supercharger are likely to be used.
thank you guys for your useful information..
Just raised all urs thanks meter for helping me out..
Well I have installed android assistant set to auto kill on every 10 mins.
Installed gemini and stopped the apps which are set to open on boot.
brightness is the minimum
480-728mhz with InteractiveX
so far 12 hours have passed by and have 50% left
Normal texting, gprs browsing, music no games though.
Lets see how far can I pull it off.

Nonono, don't use autokill, they are just crap, not needed, they drain more battery.
I have installed void forever to see whether it helps in battery performance.
The ROM itself is very fast, just wondering which kernel will best suit the rom to give the desired battery performance.
Any suggestions please..!!!!!
My LG optimus v running iho cm7 only gets about two hours of battery through normal use.

and use interactiveX governor(if you want for battery)
franco's CFS / BFS?
I have read around that fserve's kernel also gives good battery...
IMHO, actually your battery drain is actually pretty good for a usage like that, I am using more or less the usage of yours and everyday I have to charge.
guys i have been using grif_07 cyanogenmod 7.1 for some time now.....although i loved every portion of it(espically the blazing speed and super fast performance) it was at the cost of battery.....
even if the phone was charged to 100%,the battey would drain out overnight despite it being idle for the whole night......
so i am using stock now.....bettery battery but below avg. on performance.....
best rom which balances out both??
I'm currently using 7.2 (1st version), and with it I use CPU Tuner to config my battery usage... It takes about 24h to drain completely, I use a lot my phone, mainly wifi to send emails and facebook...
Im trying Icecream Sunday2 and its going very well
