So i dont know really know much about roms and kernels but i have alien and kholks kernel . which are the best of the best as of today ? Thanks
Purely subjective... different strokes for different folks.
I would venture to say though, that Alien is probably the most downloaded Atrix ROM right not... mostly b/c of the reputation Kenn had w/ GingerBlur, back on 2.2.2 (well deserved reputation I might add).
You can check my signature for my current setup.
i see , whats rom racer ?

Also, give the Aura ROM a looksee. This is my personal preference over Alien, and the dev is constantly active making improvements to it.

Also................Romracer's CWM
why is aura good ?
I've moved from Alien to Aura recently. I think, it's more faster and including faux kernel at stock (I was using it on Alien).
On Aura you have 3 choises to install: no blur, only blur account and all blur.
I'm using the simpliest version with no blur apps. It's pretty fast .

Agreed. I'm using Aura 1.1.3 Debloat #7. It is crazy fast, light, and has no Moto crap. My regular use of the phone with other roms burned about 5% to 7% an hour. This Aura rom has burned only 3% in an hour. I need to test it further before I can come to a conclusion, but it's looking amazing to me already.

Hmm, for me on my Atrix it's MIUI 1.8.19 and for the kernel it's Superman's 1.9ghz oc.

This would be awesome if true, since MIUI is what im waiting for, but I highly doubt it, unless you somehow ported it yourself and didn't share it.

Hate to hear that!! As far as the Battery, are you using SetCPU for UV and or Over clocking? I have some profiles set up for the CPU and have set UV as well. My phone will get hot on occassion, but usually only if I am on it for a long streatch. I am using Swiftkey X as my keyboard and have had no issues.
There is no such thing as a Best ROM.
If you asking this question, answer would be, there is none. If you really want to find out which one is "GOOD FOR YOU?" you should try flashing all the ROMs. As such, so far there is very handful of ROMs are available anyways. Flashing all of them one by one would only be a matter of a week or so.
See what you like and stick to the one.
IMO this is the best way to answer your question.

Been thinking about this and cant decide, well wonder if anyone knows.
Do people think that the Samsung ROMS de-bloated and stripped to minimum with a decent Kernel, have better battery life than say a AOSP ROM, with a custom Kernel?
Just a thought!?

Where are your results?
The maximum I ever achieved on a Samsung ROM was just under 7 hours screen time with stock battery. Max I've ever got on AOSP is 5 hours screen time. But I've just flashed a new kernel so I have yet to see if that makes a noticeable difference.

See that was my thought. I remember back in the GB days i always seemed to get more battery out of the Samsung lite ROMs than i did with CM7 etc.
I have a 2000Mah Battery and I'm only really seeing 1 day 14 hours on AOSP with 5 hours screen time.
On GB, i would have around 2 days, maybe a little more with the same screen time.

Your results look interesting. Im tempted to flash a Stock ROM (Wanam Lite) most probably and try that with NEAK Kernel, or Abyss (Never tried Abyss)
Battery 69% with 13h of use. Resurrection v1.5 with stock kernel. Awesome!!

Going to try Wanamlite.
Will strip more crap out of it as 235mb is still alot!
Will most probably add NEAK Kernel with Lulzctive tweaks and see what happens!
I still think stock ROM is better for battery life, for some reason!
At least with Vertumus' new theme its more or less similar looking

You can go ahead sir.
I'm interested in how well you can perform with new neak kernel.

I do believe its true though.
I'd love to see some 'proper' results though. Wonder why Stock Roms perform better battery wise than AOSP.

With N.E.A.K. I was having some SoD. I dont know why... so i decided to use custom kernel of Resurection remix v1.5. With Thoravukk 2.30 and siyah 3.0rc6 the battery life was weak.
Getting excellent battery life with VK ROM and speedmod kernel. Amazing combination.

I was on stock, unrooted. Rarely on wifi since I have a mobile 3g plan. Use email and twitter often. Some surfing (rarely), play bit of games etc. I get 40+ hours out of it.
I just rooted, still stock (for now). Removed all the telco crap and am gonna freeze the useless stuff. Perhaps it will be better.
Only thing is i hate the Stock look, and even with vertumus theme its still not the same!
I hear good things about the LP9 Base.
Not sure whether to try Wanam's LP9 Or Dynamic Slim!

I love SpeedMod kernel. I've been using it with Foxhound ROMs (GB and now ICS) for a while. It just gives great battery life, and I've had no issues with it at all.
i get good batt life an iam on stock 2.3.5 gb but i was neva satisfied wiv custum roms life..but every phone is diff an depends on how u use it,may b custum or stock.....cheeerz
Combination of HYDR0G3NICS + Siyah 3.1rc6 gives me about 6-7 screen on time. Which is quite impressive. GPU + CPU UV. Tweaks. etc.
Since i can't post in the developer forum, i write here to thank the autor of this rom. I tryed this little rom waiting for a more stable version of ICS, and i'm hooked, even if i retrocessed to gingerbread. This, coupled with dino kernel, gave my phone awesome battery life... for example since i charged 15 hours ago, im still at 94%.. Im sure with this i could pass the 3 days mark.
So... Thanks Neko!
Yes neko95 is a very talented developer he has made so many awesome ROMs.Ginger Snap is also among the best.
Dino kernal?? Or DJnoxd's kernal??
Anyway change the thread title as it is bit misleading.

My bad, DJnoxd's kernel! This rom is pure awesomeness, the best i flashed in two years, snappy and fast, and with awesome battery drain for everyday use. In all honestly, returning to cm7 based after the 9, for me, was the better decision. The phone with 9 keep giving me com.android.etc errors and the battery last one day with conservative usage, this is another world. For the record, im 26 hours in and im at 80% charge.. never happened with any rom lol
Ps. i will change the title if it's misleading but i dont kow how to do it lame, i know lol
Hi there,
i am new into this custom ROM stuff and i been trying few ROM and now i am on the UltimaROM 2.3.2
but Battery going down from 100 to 84 in short time
Which is the best to have more Battery
and is there anyway removing the default SMS app and use chompsms instead ?
Nothing is best here. Just keep experience yourself with different rom, kernel and tweaks to find the best battery performance for your phone.

These things depend on how you use your phone, but system and idle seem high on your list. Screen and talking are my top two. Batteries have so many variables. I would try different ROMs and kernels.

Go to page one General and you will find stickys .
Alternative is to read the kernel posts in development section .
Or even that new fangled idea google search .

I think stock kernal is probably your best bet for battery life...
Hi everyone!
1st post on xda, but I'm new in android world!
Anyway, I'm using Omega ROM v27.2 (JB)/stock kernel and I experienced some battery drain issues. After getting BBS, I didn't able to point out what was the cause.
After many readings, I found a possible solution: in advanced WiFi settings, they advised to disable "Keep WiFi on during sleep". By default it's set on "always". They advise to set it to "never" but I prefer set it to "only when plugged in". I think it's more logical!
I don't know yet if it's efficient but I'm trying this and I'll come back later to tell you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
you could use phenomenal kernel for better battery life. it is better than stock kernel in terms of battery life but you need to check compatibility with the custom rom you choose
Foxhound Essential .2 with latest siyah kernel
Best Battery life I ever tried - I've used Foxhound, Criskelo, and Omega JB roms but the Foxhound Essential is the fastest, ram free (430mb), best battery life performance around (8hours extensive use with mobile date turned on). Try it its great! Thanks

Try latest siyah kernel - plus Foxhound Essential ver .2 - No bloatware and best battery life performance..
I flashed Phenomenal Extreme kernel yesterday but to test it properly I have to wait for Monday when I'll be at work.
I'm not a fanatic of battery life, I just want to find the right mix between performance & battery life. For now, I found the phenom extreme not enough smooth, I'll probably change it for the medium one in few days.

My best results with battery life has been with Phenomenal Extreme and VikingROM. I got about 6 hours screentime with wifi, sync, and lots of gaming. Though i think you can make almost any rom or kernel last about 5-6 hours screentime if you check your running processes and apps running in the backround.
I hv tried lots of roms
Psycho rom XXDLJ1 v 0.0.1 is one of the best
it gives u maximum performance and an amazing battary life
Though you can flash different ROMS and kernels to experiment with battery performance, most reputable ROMS like AOKP or CM10 Wong yield much difference. Too many other variables. I've heard Trinity kernel is a good one, but I just got an extended battery. I found it to be the most sure way of extending battery life.

I've tried omega Rom and phenomenal kernel but these didn't really give me any more battery.
I found the stock kernel and Rom gave me the best battery performance at around 10 hours with WiFi on and surfing internet and maybe a quick go of a game or two.

Dear friend,
I just bought an s3 coming from a sony ZR.
God battery time is terrible.
What can I do?
I flashed CM10.1.3 stable
I tried it for one day and the drain was nearly 15%per hrs
So I changed Kernel:
Siyah 1.9.1 Broken, can't make phone calls
Boeffla with settings:
Tried with zzmove battery Yank, UV-100 GPU UV-50 etc 12%perHRs
Now I tried Googy-max with stweaks
zzmove. UV aftr+lpa sio/row etc is now 7% per hrs but with moderate to no use.
In the next post I will post all the stats, logcat, screenshot I have.
Please help me!

Those are the Better BatteryStat Dump
Do not bump its against the forum rules .
There are multiple identical posts you should have read .
Suggest you start by reading the faqs and guides before playing about with firmware and kernels .
Wipe phone flash stock rom and test .
Battery Stats ask in the battery stats thread .
Oh gosh I can't believe this answer.
You are definitely right, why ask a question in the question 3d. It is wrong... Or not?
For your grace and knowledge there are many 3d about battery and kernels. But no one with my own settings and problems. I dumped files and pics to have some help on my own desperate case.
Anyway thank you, you really helped me, I can now return to "play with kernels'

There's a thread made for battery saving.
Also, in CM forums there are a lot of discussions about the battery drain. Look for it, I'm sure you'd find it. I remember only one thing is that you have to turn off Location Access to google services.
