Which rom has the best battery life? There are too many roms out there but i just need to know which rom gives best battery life i spent most of the day outside so i hate it when my battery drains....currently using gingerdx v005...its pretty good for battery life but um looking forward to get more...any idas from anyone??
2.3.5 roms are all using a lot of battery power in my opinion but these are still young roms. I guess stock SE roms and 2.2 roms have a lower consumption level.
Try slade's MiniCM6, its very good and doesnt have battery drain
i've been using gingerdx, which is a gb rom, and it's been great in terms of battery life...dare i say better than froyo...
and quick as f#%k
gingerDX surprised me in terms of battery life. you should try.

Hey guys,
I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.
Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.
Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...
Thanks in advance!
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.
What's your cell standby reading? Percentage of battery use? Also of android system and OS,?

i recommend NEO 9 v5 it has great battery life and its really smooth it comes with led version and no-led
When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.
Stock kernel is more stable but other kernels give better battery an there much smoother

Hi
I am pretty much obsessed with battery life.
I have been trying few roms and I have yet to find the perfect one for me.
1) gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom unroot
Performance wise is so so. Battery life, not what I expected
2) gingerbread 2.3.6 rooted
Tweak the CPU and does see a lot of improvement in battery life.
3) ICS stunner. 19
Great rom but I feel that the battery does drain a lot.
4) ICS cyanofree
Smoother compared to stunner but battery wise is worse than stunner
5) Gingerbread 2.3.6 rooted
Back to gb to see if there's any difference in terms of battery life. Better than the Ics
I do have a lot of my friends who are using the custom ics and their battery life is superb. I don't know why mine is bad.
6) stunner 19
Back to stunner again. Still feel the battery doesn't last. Heart pain when you have to under utilize the phone just to save the juices.
7) litening rom 1.0 (currently using )
awesome even thought that its not as smooth compare to the ics. Battery wise improved a lot but I am still searching for even better one.
Question.
Anyone using speedmod or Franco kernel before and could you share your experience especially the battery life?
By the way. The testing are based on my observation. It may differ from other people.
Appreciate it very much.

I'm on SOAB right now but I find the battery draining way too quick for my liking. To date, which would you guys recommend? With or without Sense.
I think all the recent stock releases, including MR4, have pretty good battery life. That means Roms based on those, hopefully, have good battery life also. I find AOSP ROMs about 10 to 20% worse on battery life.
Just pick a good rom based on the latest release, potentially with the stock kernel, and you should be good to go. And get a rezound battery while you are at it. Good luck.

I am running on an Xperia Mini Pro and have tried just about every custom ROM available.
What is the best one for battery life?
FXP (CM 7.2 and 9.0) seem equally bad so far, usually lasting slightly less than a day with very little use. I find that my phone tends to get warm when running these ROMs.
Nero ICS and Hybro ICS seemed to give me between a day and two days.
I can get 2-3 days out of Sony's stock ICS ROM and about the same out of their stock GB rom.
Does anyone have any tips on increasing battery life? I usually run Juice Defender. Why do custom ROMs suffer from such poor battery life compared to Sony's stock ROMs?

Hey,
I would say for the moment stock ICS is the best your going to get. If you want to stay with ICS?
Dont use task killers or anything like that they waste more battery than they save and they mess with android native tasking. Juice defender, I dont know much about it but so I wont comment, but I would say that if you turn off wifi and BT and things when you aren't using then you shouldn't need anything to make your battery last longer. Also make sure the wifi sleep policy is set to 'always stay on' and yeah that should be about it tbh.
Cheers,
Evil
My suggestion is

I suggest you use Zelly Cream ROM which can give you much battery life :

Please just try some and find the best kernel for your usage. We are not allowed to talk about best kernel/rom
What the RC posted above here....Thanks.
Generally which provide best battery life?
Also, which individual ROM do you think provides the best battery life?
Stock based roms will provide better battery life than cm based roms.There is no individual rom with best battery life.You have to try them personally.
It also depends upon how many apps are running in background.
A debloated rom will be faster(and battery friendly?).
A kernel is also responsible.There are many kernels.I cannot tell which has best battery life.You have to try them personally.I would suggest to try apolo kernel.

Disagree. I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms on the S2 Vs Samsung-based roms.
OP - there are so many variables re: battery life it's impossible to give a definitive answer/answer for your situation because everyone has their phone setup differently & everyone uses it differently. You're only going to find out what gives you the best battery life by trying out roms/kernels. People who have looked for shortcuts re: this in the past have ended up rather disappointed ('Someone told me rom/kernel X has fantastic battery life but it was crap for me').
I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms.
Just reported this thread, before it is too late If you don't understand why: please read the answer from MistahBungle again.
Best Rom threads are discouraged on xda.
