I'm new to droid and I'm a bit surprised at low battery life on my galaxy s2 so far.
Can anyone recommend a rom to root it with that will provide optimum battery life?
Many thanks!
Root wont do anything for the battery . It just extends user access to a lower level .
Read the battery posts .

Well I'd say you will need root indirectly to get better battery life. Cause the great apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer won't work and without them you won't be able to freeze/uninstall some useless apps.

Now I am running stock KI8 from intratech and CF root, but I am not satisfied by my battery, what you recomend to try? I think maybe try SiyahKernel or you can suggest a rom. Looking for any suggestions
Read battery posts use Better Batttry Stats.
Turn off what's draining the battery. Donk keep flashing roms.

I have Better battery stats but don't understand how it can help to save battery.

If you have done using your phone and will let it lie idle for a while always go to task manager and clean memory
It helps
Just freeze every single thing you dont need through titanium backup.
Worked for me pretty well.
Just be careful with the system apk's, some of those are nessecary to run.
It seems the stock ROM you're on has one of the best battery life. If you're just concerned with just battery life I highly suggest you to stay with your stock ROM and kernel (cf root). The problem might be related to phone usage, maybe too many apps that sync very frequently (facebook, twitter maybe?), in that case you should try to sync them manually.
Anyway if you want to try siyah kernel, I've read that many people experienced good battery life. For me the stock cf root gave me better battery life than siyah 1.7.7 and 1.7.8. Anyway, trying won't do you any bad.
hey
after a night I my battery drop 2%, i think it is to much. Here is some screens maybe you could advise something for my?
Rooted, but stock. The battery life is an unfunny joke. Help?
Read up a lot. There is heaps of info on this subject for the SGS2. Big screen small battery.
I stick to a simple routine.
Root device.
Remove/freeze bloatware and unused apps that may run even though you don't start them.
Use betterbatterystats (BBS) app to see what is running a lot and causing wakelocks.
Replace apps you use with more efficient ones if they are draining too much.
A bit of trial and error but this works and in the end there is no sacrifice of smartphones functionality to save battery life.
Good luck.

Which stock? Like for like, and assuming you have added nothing to the ROM, GB should be battery friendly, ICS less so. At the current level of development...
Nice to see the thread dealing with rooting, I am just wondering how the battery life is when rooted. I rooted my SG2 and it was great not having to worry about charging every 6 hrs, in fact I was getting well over a day.
I am thinking of rooting although this SG3 seems to be pretty good with the battery, hence my interest in how the battery is when rooted.
Thanks

....well it really depends on what you do with the phone once rooted???
Rooting in itself will do NOTHING to change battery life, all it does is allow you to run apps that require root.
If you were to flash a new kernel or use root apps that adjust things like cpu speed etc then battery life can be affected, but otherwise it will act like an unrooted phone.
Hey guys. I'm have a G watch on the way and want know if I should let it update or root it right away. What EXTRA things does root let you do on the G Watch?
I have always rooted my phones, but was wondering what the benefit was here.
i.e. (adblock, quickboot, ect.)
Thanks in advance.
Better battery life and performance.

This is accomplished with a custom kernel, in which rooting is a requirement of installing.
I thought it might be helpful to have a thread devoted to this. Maybe people can post their battery stats, talk about how their battery life has been since root (anecdotally), etc. I know it's a big deal for many people considering root so it would possibly alleviate concerns if people discuss their experiences here.
I noticed that I burned through the battery quicker being rooted. I decided not to disable anything on the device in terms of bloat or apps that I don't use. I installed the same apps that I had on it before I rooted it but didn't do a backup restore to avoid any sort of conflicts. Used it for about a week rooted dodging work device compromise flags. I just wanted to see how much of an impact the 80% battery cap thing would have been. Although I am thankful for root, I realized that for me it is not needed at this present time and the battery hit isn't worth it.

I wonder if disabling and tweaking things via root capabilities could compensate for at least some of the loss. Some people have said they didn't notice any difference with the 80% cap and I'm wondering how.
