It's that time of the year again that I feel that I need to do something with my Vibrant or I'll feel bored with my fun, so I want to know what the best ROM is in terms of performance and most importantly battery. Battery is everything to me as I'm out of the house or near a port for the whole day, everyday. I was leaning towards the CM7 ROM, but I heard that mod outputs poor battery life.
Any ROMs?
With CM7, you'll get about 13-14 hours of battery life.
Hm.. what ROM are you running now?
I use MIUI Lithium and i've been getting around 25-30 hours of battery life with medium usage. This rom has been super super super stable for me and GPS works too.

Which GB ROM has the best battery life?
For me chingys GB isn't working for me. Battery is not good. I've Bennett giving it a try but I can't get good battery life :/ I have an extended battery. In one hour I lost 10% with no data on no sync pretty much just have the bars going didn't touch it and I loose 10% in one hour.
I love this rom. Battery life is not awesome. (Sorry if not enough details )
Which GB ROM has the best battery life?
Everyone experiences different results with different roms. For example, I'm running BAMf Remix 2.0-6, I also have the extended battery, and I just got about 35 hours out of my phone with imo 3.0.1 lean kernel, 245/1228.
So i have a filename. I love minuit and all the features/customization, but the battery life is killing me BC i work long hours outside. So my question is, shud i just deal or downgrade back to my wonderful battery life from Froyo?

Looking at my previous ROMs on my Vibrant, I have resorted back to Battery Life. Yes, the extra tweaks and pretty customization are very eye candy but in the long run, you want a phone to be a phone that can last you whenever you need it when you go out for a long night or for a mini trip. I feel it's pointless for a pretty arse phone that can only last you a few hours. It's only good for the show. For me, I found a middle ground of battery life and customizables with Toxic8.
From the past, my best battery life comes out from Bi-Winning, then Bionix, then Toxic8, and then the GingerBread ROMs and then CM7.
Kudos to Toxic 8. It looks amazing and it has a good battery life!
You can also try Trigger3.2. I tried it and personally have found it to have better battery life than Bionix. However it's all preference.
Try Trigger3.2/Toxic8/Bionix with bali and see which one works for you!
I've tried them all and Biwinning and Bionix give you the best life and stability (along with a Bali or Immortality kernel)
Toxic8 also rocks with its themes (geared towards young people) but at it's current latest state, the GPS warms up the battery and kills the battery life.
The rest of the ROMS you have to play with and see what you like. The battery life is most important to me and the ROMS mentioned above are fast and stable. I don't need more until an official GB leak is released for the Vibrant.
Im currently looking for the best combination of Sense ROM, kernel, and/or scripts/apps/mods for battery life. Ive used stock ROM, viperROM, Infected, and Android Revolution HD. Ive only ever used the stock kernel or whatever was included with the ROM.
All results have been the same, with what id consider moderate usage im finding battery life to be ok at best. Getting about 14-18 hours battery life.
Ive seen some screenshots of people getting 24+ hours with similar or more usage.
Any help or recommendations would be great. Thanks
Cleanrom has been working well and has good battery life. Yesterday I got almost more than a days worth of battery but that was in minimal use.
Which of the ROMs available in the development area will provide me with the greatest battery life? (without loss of important features or anything)

I personally prefer Nottachtrix, it's fast as hell and awsome battery life

You could take a look at the Neutrino ROM. It is missing features, though there are plenty of add-ons that you could easily download to suit your needs. Other than that it's extremely compact and snappy, and (so I've heard) the black and white theme actually helps out battery life tremendously.

This is for my girlfriend's phone. I can't test these out realtime, but I put the light Neutrino on it and it didn't last a whole day. Got Aqua on there and the battery life on there doesn't seem to be exquisite either.
Gonna try out Nottachtrix when I get the chance.
ROMS generally take a few days to show their full battery potential. In other words, when you install a new ROM you should charge it to 100% (before installing), delete the battery stats, and discharge all the way through until it turns off. Charge it all the way to 100% and discharge to 0% for a few cycles and you'll begin to see more accurate battery performance. Installing a ROM for one day and then installing another the next isn't going to tell you anything about true battery performance. It needs a little bit of time, just like it took a few cycles when she first got her phone for the battery to last its full amount.
Neutrino and CM7 should generally be lasting a whole day, if not 2 days. I am on a CM9 based ROM and even my battery lasts from 6 in the morning to 12 at night. As I've stated, it takes a bit of time for the battery to shine.
I get pretty decent battery life out of The Darkside Prefinal. From 6am-10pm with about an hour or so charging inbetween I usually have about 40% or so left. Neutrino ROM has been pretty good to me too. About 35%-30% left in the same time frame mentioned earlier
I'm on Eclipse and it has GREAT battery life. I can last through the day on 1 charge.
Does CM7 have a good battery life? I'm thinking of changing it up a bit, since I'm always on Eclipse.
Its always a bit subjective to the user, but I have been on CM7 for a few weeks now and feel as though I am getting better battery life than I did on Eclipse. Actually if I was just to break it down between blur based ROMs and Cyanogenmod ROMs, Cyanogenmod always seems to be better in this aspect. CM7 and CM10 had excellent battery life for me. Liberty and Eclipse, while good blur based ROMs, both had not so good battery life.
Honestly I can get about 1 day and 3 hours on Eclipse 2.3 but when I flashed CM7 for the first time, my battery drained within 8 hours!!!! After I let it settle for a week and re-calibrated the battery, it lasted for about 19 hours ha still not good enough for me but it also depends on how much you use your phone. I was a heavy gamer and I had to narrow it down I am now running MIUI 2.8.10v and would never look back:laugh:
