does anyone know how the battery life of the UnNamed ROM compare to the ICScrewed ROM battery life?
really? just try it yourself
ICScrewed 1.4.2 awosome bat life! Can't speak for UnNamed haven't tried it yet. Been on ICScrewed since I got the phone.

They should be about the same, unless ICScrewD leaves the SNS widgets/services in. If it does you can remove them.
ICScrewD might be slightly better due to being based on an I9100 firmware release, but it's going to be a tiny difference if at all. I9100 firmwares seemed to have lower idle drain than UCKH7, but UCKK6 might be improved in that regard.
Just try them both - the differences in battery life will be negligible if anything.

Geez, is that with heavy use? I can only get about ~15 hours before I'm around 25%. I'm running Entropy and UnNamed.
honestly that was from weeks ago i dont remember, just found my screen shot, i normally get around 16-17 then i charge soooo
My best is 4 days on Unnamed with light usage (some calls, text messages, gmail, web browsing, comic reading). Haven't tried the other one.

I have used both and think they are both very good. I believe I may have had slightly better life on UnNamed but not by much at all. I personally run ICScrewD because I feel it is a little smoother and has a better layout.

I'm thinking about flashing on the the roms based on the latest leak. Just wanted to know if everyone was having reduced battery life from it or just a select few?
I have had better battery since the upgrade.

Better battery for me. You should have done a poll
Sent from my rooted HRC Rezound
My battery life is better. But it will vary based on a lot of factors. I did somewhere around 30 firmware installs for other people. About 20 - 24 of those users have kept up with me. 2 are having really bad battery life and one more is poor but jot terrible, the really bad ones are both heavy users. They have high temp issues especially when downloading and streaming. Because I can't remotely look over their settings like I could on a computer, I can only deal with it further with some back and fourth trial and error while on gtalk. I know some is kernel related, as to why they have the heat and battery problems and others don't, I havent nailed it down.

hey guys simple question, I flashed eclipse ROM v2.1 and I love it so far except one thing, the battery life sux, I mean when I was stock 2.3.4 rooted I froze a bunch of apps and my battery life was pretty impressive. So I can only relate this to that eclipse is performance based and needs a little more battery? So basically is their a method to getting more battery life or am I stuck.

Have you added any modifications since you flashed Eclipse? Have you added a significant amount of widgets or apps that run in the background? How has your brightness level and usage of device been (more or less than before?)
A majority of the people (myself included) feel that eclipse is great on battery. I use my phone constantly with the brightness on full and the second core script and the battery life is totally fine.

Did you calibrate battery? Also battery life for what, stand-by or usage? Stand-by I can get 2 says easily with just texting and calls. A normal usage, maybe 5 - 6 hours and I can even kill it in less then an hour If need be.

My battery life was a little less with Eclipse than on stock, too. CM7 batter life is even worse but still very acceptable. On stock I would easily get 2 days and some change. With Eclipse I'd get a little over a day, and CM7 a little less. What makes me wonder if being on a better ROM makes us use our phones more because it works so much better vs. stock. I can't stand my phone on stock so I usually don't mess with it.
No my friend everything has been pretty much left alone. I use the performance monitor for shutting down background apps, and have even froze the social media apps(twitter, fb,Skype). Huh

Give the calibration a try and see if there was a mismatch between readings. Maybe something is running harder than usual.

I would be more apt to say the drain was the norm high drain that the first couple days after flashing any ROM sees, yhe "recal" just wipes the stats of the battery doesn't change the amount of power you have or use

Yea ur probably right about the high drain after flash because it seems the longer I'm on this ROM the better the battery is performing

Hey guys does gb or ics make a different in battery life and if it does how big is the difference and does stock gb give the most battery life or does a Rom i know you Guys don't like Threads about roms and there battery life sorry but this is just generally ics stock or gingerbread rooted i spend alt of time on the internet and Im in jersey so i don't use lte i use hspa + so what's the best way i can get the max out of.my battery thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
gb, but custom kernels with undervolting with increase battery even more. ICS will be even better once source drops and we have custom kernels for that as well. This is because ics can clock lower and still be smooth due to the gpu rendering that is finally integrated, and should've been done that way since day one. But until then definitely gb.
^^^this... Was getting 4+ hours screen time and 1 day 4hrs battery with GB. that was on the oc'd Rom @ 1.82 with undervolting everything below 1.5 and over volting 1.82.

The leaked ICS ROMs had very poor battery life for me.
My best battery life on GB was 13 hours with 6 hours of screen time.
On ICS, my best was 5 hours of screen time on Noteworthy Beta 2. Only did 1 charge cycle, though.

It depends honestly. Somedays with ics i have high standby drain and apps galore sucking my battery down, other days I get almost 4 hours screen time.
Dags alpha2 seems a bit better than alpha1. I dunno about seraphim, I promptly returned to to alpha1 once I seen baby blue text on white in my apps.
I'd rather keep charging than deal with GB.

What are you under volting 1.5 and below to? And when you say what you are over volting 1.82 is it the only one over 1.5 that you are over volting or are you over volting everything from 1.5 to 1.82?
Also can you list what you're over volting and under volting to? I'd like to try to see if I can get the same results.

Currently on ics alpha 2 so no kernel to do this.
When on GB i was using DaG's OC kernel (or dagr8's sorry getting them confused right now, tired will check and edit l8r). J only overvolted the 1.82 setting. As for undervolting i pretty much looked ar what cpuspy said were the most used and using systemtuner set those down one notch on the slider. The ones used less frequently i set 1-2 notches down on slider. only methodology i used and was done over a period of time pushing to see if any problems/fc's occurred. Never really got to the point where that occurred as the ics leak came out and i jumped to it. Did not make a screen capture of system tuner settings or keep a list of final changes.
Oh yeah, i also get the min frequency to 192 and that seemed to quite a bit especially when apps were forcing 'stay awake' mode. That, i feel, is the biggest difference between my GB battery life and ics. I can get 1 day out of ics with 3-4 hours screen time but sometimes an app will force stay awake and the drain is quicker.
Biggest battery saver for me is using wife vs lte. <<wifi i mean word completion error but don't mind using wife sometimes too

How in the world are you guys getting more than that?? I stream HD Video most of the time.... don't make any calls and surf.... most of the day I'm on WiFi.... I have no idea how you get these times of over 4hrs... I'm lucky if I reach 4hrs.....
All good now though. ... now I have 2 batteries @ 5000mAh & 1 battery @ 5200mAh so now I'm @ 1.7 or 1.8gHz and I'll get 7hrs ......then I'll Swap to the stock battery for when involution of work.....

Ffs can we not have a battery life thread started every single day?
Battery life is the most subjective thing, it all depends on how you use your phone, what apps you have installed running in the background, what you have synced, location services. Etc...
No 2 people well have the same drain.
I'm on stock ROM and subscribe to Rogers Toronto. I get about 4 hours too.... My usage sounds similar to yours as well. Thanks I will pick up extra battery soon.
Sup guys so i didn't see one.of these threads so im making.one if you guys want post pics or just write down the amount of battery life you get, which Rom, what tweak, screen time and total life on a single charge and the size of the battery being used and heavy moderate or light use

saurom wins best battery in my books
i went on a craze testing different roms specifically for battery life. the best battery i got was using saurom gb rom. 1.5 days!! i would say i was aiming for light/moderate usage at the time.
i got decent usage on seraphim ics rom, more on the heavy usage side when i was testing this rom. little over 12hrs. i love it graphically and how smooth ics is, but since im on my phone alot saurom suited my power taste better.
to save as much battery as possible, my config:
- antutu battery saver app
- brightness always at a minimum
- vibrate always off, silent at office, sound only everywhere else
- screen filter app in the dark
- wifi off (test purposes, its a given u'll save more when on wifi)
- auto sync off (im always on it so refreshing apps i need on the fly was good enough, i dont always need to know who emails or facebooks me every sec)

Best so far
I'm rooted on stock gb, using Da_G's OC kernel with no battery saving options or apps enabled.
So I might be trading my Gnex for an Amaze + cash, but my main concern is battery life. That, and learning a different process of flashing roms/radios, since I've only ever tinkered with Samsung/LG devices.
So my fellow members, what screen on time (best way to measure battery life I think) do you guys get? I get around 5 hours on my Gnex. Mention what rom/radio as well if you can.

Moderate use on stock, change a few settings, no unnecessary background programs, I get a decent 12-16 hours with moderate use, though to be honest, I text a lot, check my facebook, be on xda and stuff quite a bit. I set my screen timeout to 15s. So you gotta tweak it and mess with it a bit. Some custom roms have reported better life.
On speed Rom I get a full day with 40% to spare with a lot of browsing and playing games through the day, I'm sure you could get that with other roms as well. The amaze has no custom radio or kernel for ics at the moment
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
To be honest I've never measured/calculated my Screen On Battery Life. But total battery time for me is a good 12-16+ hrs.
Also its recommended, but not necessary, to S-Off your device. It makes flashing Roms much easier to flash. But if you don't want to perform that then use 4EXT Recovery and it can flash kernels without the use of fastboot to flash a kernel.
If the Amaze you get isn't updated to ICS then you're better off upgrading first before rooting and etc... Have Fun!
