All - whats the best kernel for battery life/performance ratio?
Currently using faux 1.6 kernel - superfast but battery drains real quick - whats everyone else using?
I was on the stock kernel for awhile with Ken's Alien ROM. Battery life wasn't great, then switched to Faux's kernel. Didn't notice much of an improvement. Im trying out Kholk's kernel, which has gotten good reviews for battery life. This is my first full charge on it, so we'll see. Im currently at 85% after about 3 hours of moderate to heavy usage.

From my experience edgans is best

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

New to the razor...which rom is the most stable and has the greatest battery? This is a opinion poll, thanks

Ive only ran eclipse 1.3. It seems to be a little better than stock in terms of battery life. Ive read MIUI and gummy do provide some good battery life.
Im running eclipse 1.3, and my battery drains pritty fast. I have asked the same question. Everyone says eclipse is good.
You can also try Black Widow Rom

You can only go so far with rom's since all roms are running off of the motorola stock kernel. Best bet is to get any rom and then freeze all the bloat you don't need. Then get a copy of SetCPU and manually set profiles using the hotplug governor to underclock the cpu when not in use or under certain conditions. Also make sure none of your apps are keeping the phone awake and preventing it from going to deep sleep mode.
I found running Easy Battery Saver on General Mode to be highly effective and I'm stock and unrooted. I can easily hit 12 hours without a charge.

Black Widow ROM
Was last updated 4/28/2012
When I ran this on my OG RAZR I got around 16-19 hours of battery with moderate usage.

I can confirm that! Black Widow has the greatest battery lifetime I've ever seen on Razr! But I got more than 19 hours usually, and that with more than just moderate usage!
Someone tell me the rom epsilon v4 is a good option to save battery, but i installed and had no satisfatory results. =/
in all reality they are all good on battery, BUT I am running arctic v2.2 on .215 update leak and arctic has the highest ranking benchmarks of any other roms. it is very good on my battery as of now and I am overclocked at 1350mhz, but i dont run it at that always usually 1000mhz to save more battery. my benchmark score on this rom was 3500 which is the best I got out of eclipse and arctic. those are the 2 top leading roms right now when it comes to being completely debloated and having good battery life/functionality
I'm thinking about buying an Atrix and putting an ICS rom on it.
For those of you who have an Atrix with ICS, what sort of battery life are you getting? Also, let me know what Rom you're using?
JOYOS V3 Excellent battery life

CM9 & AOKP both have excellent battery life.
Currently on AOKP 37a.

So in terms of hours, how many many are you guys looking at?
These are guesstimates and not hard numbers since I dont actively keep track, but in my experience its been on par with Gingerbread. About 5 hours continuous use with the screen on, lasts between 1 and 3 days depending on how heavily its used.
Hey guys
I know its a repeated question but I have been trying several roms with all the different kernels on my SGS2 and the only one that I have found is the Foxhound Rom which gives me a decent battery life. But now I flashed Rootbox because I wanted to have the new TW launcher on the phone...I usually underclock the processor to 800Mhz on Ondemand profile....I installed the latest 1.7 version using the Darknight, CM9 and Siyah kernels and the battery lasts me for just a day of moderate usage mostly because I can see the phone deep sleep about 60-70% of the time? I also dont know if flashing a new modem will make a difference.
Can anyone advise me as to how I can reduce it and possibly get a better battery life? Also I am gonna try the Rootbox with Fluxi kernel as bajee11 uses that on his kernel? But if anyone else is on the same ROM and getting a decent battery life, can you please advise me and also suggest CPU profile that you are using?
All help much appreciated

For ics I use try dark knight 1.8 and it's really good. Are you giving it a few cycles for the battery?

I haven't been using stock ROMs for a while, and am now currently on AOKP JB, which is awesome. But I've recently had the need to be out of the house for an extended period of time, and i really need a ROM with good battery life.
So quick question, which GSM (or CDMA with GSM-patch) ROM gives the best battery life? I'm more inclined to think stock, and I've read that 676.226.3.en.EU gives really decent battery life. Or is there a better alternative?

Ive been using the simplex rom it has overclock and underclock scripts built in I have been on it for a few days and got 5hrs of screen on and 19hrs of power overclocked with 25% battery still left. Currently I am running underclocked to 1.0 GHZ to see how long Battery will last and sitting at 13hrs on battery and 4.5hrs screen on time and have 44% battery I think I'm doing well!!! No bugs yet either!!
SimpleX is for CDMA right? My bad, I should have specified that I was using a GSM phone.

i'm using magicmod rom, coupled with tasker to turn on 3g only when using data intensive apps like browser,youtube etc.. the rest of the time i have data enabled but 2g, and the battery only goes down about 2-3% a night, that's about 2-3% for 8 hours..
