Hey guys,
I have a question, I have my SGS II, and I tested out alot of roms and kerenels but I just cant get to a promising results regarding battery life.
My question is:
What is the most promision ROM and KERNEL combo for BEST battery life?
Really? Really? Seriously?
I think you should use stock Rom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea... Stock if you want battery
Unfortantuly my stock rom sucks, laggy and ****ty.
And cmon guys stop tagging this post as span n other **** I am new to this all new android stuff and I see people with effin 3 days of battery life while in 100% mine only lasts for 8 hours.
Be more serious.
So, did you read up on how they were getting it? (3 effin days battery)
Have you then tried the same thing?
Checkrom revoHD.
Well for me checkrom revo HD with leoMar kitchen app is simply the best. This combined with Dark Knights Siyah kernal is the best combinition for me. I get a full day of battery charge with heavy usage.

They diden't mention to write.
Only pics.
This will depend on so many variables, network, location, Modem, ROM, Kernel, user installs of software, wake locks, bad signal.......
Hence the only way to find is via flashing bedding testing....
As you will notice users can have same setup but very different outcomes..
Using CWM backup you can always revert to stable setup.

Hi!
I heard a lot of SGS2 users talking about these 2 custom ROMs like Lite'ning and Villain ROMs. Right now I'm using the Lite'ning ROM and I'm pretty happy with it, but I feel taht I need a change you know. So I was thinking to chnage my current rom to Villain ROM, but I don't know if it worth it? I need help to decide myself.
I would like to know which have the best battery life as I usea lot WIFI, internet and games. I focus most on the battery usage and a bit of style system improvements.
So, help me do decide, Lite'ning ROM or Villain ROM?
I don't even think it's worth rooting this phone right now. It's up to date, it's fast, all as stock...

With Lite'ning I really improved the battery usage.
VillianROM works for me . Very friendly thread as well .
Plus it doesn't take long to back up things and switch back if its not for you .

I want to know more about the battery usage? How much it lasts?
I actually feel that samsung made this phone pretty beastly as is and did a good job on the fw, so i prefer just stock KG6; I do from time to time flash CM7 to see how its running along with its changes. I say either CM7 or Stock samsung is amazing for this phone.

Depends what you do....
Nobody can predict your battery life, try it and see, don't like it, flash back......

Ok, ehmm ... With the current Lite'ning ROM my phone is on with WIFI and using it regularly and the battery life lasts like 1 week and some days.

Yes it is, talking from own epxerience.
I'd like to see some screenshots of your Battery Usage.
You sure you are actually using the phone
One week!? I was excited when mine lasted for two days! Put up a picture of this!
And how do I print screen it?
Home + power buttons
you guys dont seriously believe anyone is getting a weeks battery do you? lol
I tried CM7 and VillainROM 2.3/2.4.2 and stock of course. CM7 and Villain are far better, faster and the battery lasts longer
Don't think there will be much difference in battery life with the use of either one of these ROM themself.
They do use different kernels but you can flash them separately and then use setCPU and underclock / undervoltage and try to improve the battery life slightly that way ....
Also some opengl games (myth defence) don't work well with my old stock rom (KE7). Now with CM7 everything is fine and smooth
NeoPhyTe.x360
Tried both, used Villain Rom for a while. now love NeoPhyTe.x360

Thanks man.
So im using MIUI Galnet ICS with Siyah kernel, and i completely love almost everything about this rom, but i say almost because my battery life is not so good i get like 13 hours with pretty low use.
So my question is:
What rom has the best battery life, fairly smooth and stable (battery life at highest priority)? What would be the best kernel (battery wise) to use with this ROM?
Another question kinda not on topic but anyways;
If my phone fell a few times (sometimes on side, sometimes on screen sometimes on back)(with screen protector and back cover) can any of the internal components get damaged? cuz sometimes the phone gets minor freezes.
P.S.
I have been told CheckromRevolution 5.5 is probably one of the best roms battery wise, the thing is there is CheckRomRevolution HD 3.1.x now
So which CheckRom ROM has best battery life?
The best ROM for battery life is the one which is so bad, it makes you not want to use the phone.
Currently using Simple and Clean with Speedmod. Pretty good, but it's just my first discharge cycle so I can't judge yet, but I definitely see some improvements from Litening. CheckROM and Sensation 1.9 also seems decent. Cognition as well.

Currently using CheckROM but thinking of switching to Androidmeda for the (reportedly) amazing battery life. I can't see any direct comparison between the two, so I was hoping I might be able to get some feedback from people who have used them.
I heard someone say that they weren't that impressed with Androidmeda, but didn't really explain why. CheckROM seems to be the most popular, and it definitely is smooth, but I can't get much battery life out of it, despite switching kernels.
Any advice welcome. Thanks.
I get superb battery life from CheckRom as do many others it's nothing to do with the ROM you need to establish what is draining your battery it's certainly not the ROM itself.

I don't think I'm getting a battery drain as such, I could probably get about 14 hours out of it, which isn't too bad I suppose. I'm seeing people report over 2 days with Androidmeda.
I didn't like checkrom and switched back to androidmeda.
Can't give any specific reasons though. I think it's the surgeon scripts which I like.

Both at the end of the days are good roms. Its about choice really and what you like as a user..For me i have to say Androidmeda. Saved myself money from buying an extended battery cause of the great rom/kernel combo. The min screen on time i get is 5hrs buddy and that is over the duration of say 26-40hrs. and not just that i have learned quite alot since i switched over. Plus the devs are great support there and if you need anyting they are always there to help...Regarding checkrom again i did try that and nothing but good words to say about that rom specially if you like the kitchen idea but for me smoothness and battery life is androidmeda...But again only you can decide by trying both..and not just a day or two you have to give it at least a week for each rom to decide which one you prefer
cant get the idea of surgeon untill now why it have to be with themes?
if i want to flash "Hyperdroid" then flash a surgeon then flash ICS theme by "Vertumus" will it revert all the mods that the surgeon did?
Halo everyone,,, I am Eamonn. Nice to meet u all in xda.
I hv just rooted my SII and I find that the battery drains heavily. I need to use three battery for a day. Thatz reli bother me so much.
It would be so nice if u can share to me how the situation can be improved.

if you really need a significant change in your battery life try ....this.... this time no software tweeks, got borred with them all, but a small Hardware tweek

Use your phone less and/or plug it in.
P.S. If you think this is a vague response, I think your request for help was vague. When you go to the doctor and tell him/her you have a pain, what happens next?
And there are umpteen posts on this topic already ffs
HERE THIS ICS CUSTOM ROM DID THE TRICK FOR ME

totally agree with ZACQ8
You can get a 2450mah battery that doesnt need a different case. Also try Android Assistant, you can view processes that are running and sort by cpu usage. Try to remove or atleast kill from startup any apps that do not need to run all the time. Most battery assistant programs do not work as after killing an app it will just load back up a few minutes later.
I got the official 2000 mAh battery which did give 15% more life. However the most effective improvement I got was from using the SpeedMod kernel and using Tasker to be more precise about when things came on.
Went from around 14 hrs stock to 30+ hrs for SpeedMod on stock rom for GB.

Hi,
To avoid too fast draining, some classics advices are to turn off some functionalities when you not need it, by example Auto Sync. Many applications needs to be configured with less frequent synchronization (weather apps or widgets, email apps, news apps...)
And as it was mentionned, some kernels can dramatically improve your experience. I agree that Speedmod is one of the best kernel to preserve battery. You can flash it easilly via CWM.

Hi guys! I am new here, and glad to be a part of this big community.
Recently i bought a new Samsung Galaxy S III. The phone was running stock ICS 4.0.4.
Because i am really stupid, and like to make all my gadgets "better", i installed Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Polonia, from Sammobile.
The problem is... THE BATTERY, IT'S HORRIBLE! 3-5% over night discharge, with 30% light, no Wi-Fi, no Sync, only H+.
In a little game, like Doodle Jump, Jetpack Joyride or Jumping Slime, 15 minutes of gameplay and 3-4% battery is gone.
I have the Clockworkmod recovery installed, and i did a full charge and wipe battery stats... the battery got better, but no like on ICS.
What should i do... i would like to install ICS back, but i see that it's kind of laggy, and doesn't got manny features.
I don't like to install a Custom ROM, like Ressurection Remix, AOKP and stuff like that...
Furthermore, on the curent Jelly Bean i was had installed Siyah Kernel and i undervolted my CPU with -50mV, and still no improvement.
What should i do? Back to ICS? The battery life was great in games/aplications...
Thx for any reply!
Cheers!
no, no, no, no, NO!! Best rom threads arent allowed and are not looked upon lightly! Roms are entirely based on personal preference....flash a few and see which ones offer the best battery life FOR YOU!! And its not unusual for games and mobile data to use battery. Its inevitable really dude....

No... the thing is, i want a RECOMMANDATION, for the best stock ROM. On this forum there are many Galaxy S III users... what is the best ROM for their devices?
For me, the best ROM, was ICS 4.0.4, and i hadn't got any major battery drain like this. But i want to hear some opinions on this subject.
And no more useless reflashing... i am afraid that my NAND will be corupt. I flashed my phone like 5 times in a week, trying to establish the best ROM.

install the app better battery stats, and charge your phone up then leave it to idle for a couple of hours then report back with screen shots of kernel wakelock, and partial wakelock
Apart from that Google now causes some extra drain due to using location services.check what you are syncing (I suggest getting rid of the whole Samsung account/backup set up and disabling Google back up
3-5% isn't really that bad, neither is 3-4 % in 15 minutes of gameplay, considering normal screen on drain is approx 10%/hour

You said it yourself "trying to establish the best rom" their is no best rom....what gives you huge performance in terms of battery might suck for someone else....every device is different. And if you flashed your device 5 times in a week then my nand must be screwed because ive tried every galaxy S3 rom. It takes more than you think to damage your nand dude

Ok... i will install ICS back.
The JB battery really sucks. Only 5 minute call and checking some emails and 7% gone.
I think the battery is exactly the same..i was getting 6hrs screen on time on 4.0.4 and im still getting 6 hrs on dlib and its much faster

InsertCoin is best.
It haves stock (stable) kernel, full debloat (~100 mb more ram), alot of optional user tweaks, and many behind the scenes mods for maximum smoothness and perfomance
If only people could understand that what's best for Person A, might not suit Person B at all. It's a matter of one's own preference and it's imperative to try roms out yourself.
sigh.... I'm just going to paste my response from one of the many other best rom threads
These best rom threads are getting out of hand...
What's the best rom for me might be the worst for you.. It's subjective.
It's like asking who's the hottest girl in the world, or which sports car is the nicest.. It all depends on the person being asked and if you ask in a forum you will be a different answer from everyone.
The only way to find out the best rom for YOU is to try them all until you find the one that's "best" for you and your needs..
