Hi friends,
I would like to know your thoughts about what Official or Custom ROM has the best battery life, as this is, at least for me, one of the most important points when you want to update your phone.
This is a simple thread, just post:
- Complete name of the Custom or Official ROM, and its baseband ROM. (and link to it so we can thank the developer)
- Time you expend using different apps, wifi, 3G, etc... (for example 3 hours of Whatsapp, 2 hours on games, 1h voice calls...)
- Aprox. time your battery lasts.
- Optional: you can add a screenshot of your 'Battery Use' screen.
Let's see which one is the best!
As for me:
- Custom Rom: TheMyth ICS beta 2, baseband 2.3.6 KPP
- About 5 hours using Whatsapp, Wifi activated all time, 5 hours 3G, 1 hour surfing the internet, no gaming, a few short calls.
- It lasts around 11-13 hours.
Official 2.3.6, Baseband s5830xwkt3, so called Nordic Version.
About 17-19 hours in total.
6 hours display on, browsing web with Opera Mini and using Nimbuzz messenger. GPRS/EDGE. Yesterday even 7 hours display on, which is very good in my opinion. Display runs on lowest brightness.
ICS final. Lagfree v1 and the new scrolling battery fix and I've used 4% battery in 3 hours of constant use. Screens on lowest setting as well. Pretty amazed with the difference actually.

How the hell do you manage that? I'm running the same rom with the same script. Is the scrolling and the battery fix in the script or you edited the build.prop? What have you been doing with the constant use? Do you use 3G or edge or what?
Lol I'm really amazed.
um, I reckon the battery you get when you buy your phone is real ****, so I'm gonna buy a brand new battery and hopefully it lasts longer

I think here is referring to this - Precise Volume Control, Smooth Scrolling and Battery Drain Fix
My battery drained 14% in an hour running whatsapp, ymail, email, ymessenger, and make a 15 minutes of call. Using CM7.2 RC0 Kang ROM, lagfree v1 script, turboboost 8.5, Precise Volume Control, Smooth Scrolling and Battery Drain Fix, and touchscreen fix

Out of all the roms out now, which is getting you the best battery performance?
Aside from being smooth - long life is most important to me - so wanted to know if people are getting 2 days or more? .
I find wolfbreaks cm6.1 very good on battery life. I can squeeze out 1.5 days without a charge.
But it also depends upon how frequently you use the phone and what apps you use. If you are a power wifi user then battery will drain pretty quickly.

With the rom of rendeiro2005 I also do 1,5 day .
+1 for rendeiro2005's ROM. same thing with me too.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I'm using stock 2.1 -rooted + JIT + removed timescape.. I'm getting 1.5 -2 days too.. but only when I'm at home and permanently connected to Wifi.. when I'm travelling with WCDMA switched on I get a day.. 3G/GPRS is a really battery killer for me.
I see ^^ Thanks
I'm mainly concerned with the battery that drains when it's supposed to be asleep. I installed achotjan's and left it as it was without any extra apps installed and over 8 hours it only went down about 4%. I'm currently on nearly 24 hours and still at 69% gradually installing various apps that I use daily to find the one that is zombieing on me ^^;.
So far I like that rom though^^ I'll check out the other ones you're recommending as well once I find the zombie app.
Using stock 2.1 for now 2.1.1.A.0.16 x10i, Rooted + JIT v2 enabled, Timescape/Mediascape replaced by Music and Gallery 3D, Wi-fi always ON and constantly monitoring Quadrant score. I'm currently 34hours with 41% left. Not really bad
I'd like 2.1 and all if it wasn't for google's better gmail app being for 2.2 and up .
I am running Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 [V05] 2.2.1 froyo rom with update 053 and my battery life has increased noticeably over the SE Generic 2.1.1 rom. It's been 2 days and i still have 20% battery left and i have been using it a lot. so far I am pretty happy with this rom.
Using wolf's CM 6.1.3 V053 right now.2 days without a charge.3G always on.It's a quite stable rom for daily use.Like it~
Wolf's 6.1, juice defender and set CPU with minimum speed when screen's off. I'm constantly downloading/streaming but with this I still get a full days usage. With 2.1 I needed to plug it in after 6 hours...

Mine using stock SE 2.1 Rom, 2.1.54 Baseband rooted.
I was using it for atleast an average of 1 hour daily browsing(full website)
30min facebook update interval(3g always on)
rotate sensor always on
brightness set to auto(using widgetsoid)
Zeam as default launcher
installed dogwatch but doesnt really use it
I use automemory optimizer.
remove stuff such as timescape and other se apps that I am not using(I don't necessarily called them crap just because I dont find use for them).
I haven't tried any custom rom, since this works for me without a hitch. (IMO).
MIUI lasts for 1.5 days with heavy usage, and 2 / 2.5 days with medium / light usage...

On The lg optimus one, which rom offers the best battery life?
I am currently using the AGA rom and my battery life isnt the best.
Just so i dont exceed my monthly bandwidth i am wondering in your experiences which rom has the best battery life? i am using 3g data but i configured juice defender to turn it off whenever my screen is off.
I'm currently using CM7.2 .35, with franco.kernel 2.6.35.14 and I'm getting exceptional battery life (85% by the end of the day with normal use, 14 hour day).

Hey, You should use CM7.2 A6 with goldenleaf 6DEC LG for the best battery life ... I usually get 28-32 hrs battery backup with light-moderate usage,, which includes-
-1 hr 2G data
-2hr texting
-1/2hr fruit ninja
-2.5hr Wifi
EDIT:you need to flash old baseband from your PC before you can use other custom ROMs
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPED YOU
Go for Openoptimus build 2.202.1+paolo v6 kernel. ..
definitely the best combo. ..
offers more than 2 days of battery with moderate use to me. ..
stunning gb rom. ..
follow the proper instructions of flashing as mentioned by bytecode. ..
and everything shud be just fine. ..
I LOVE THAT ROM. ..
I'm a heavy 3g user ..(all d time when my screen is on for downloads n browsing) ,2g when screen off for fb chat!must say no rom offers a solution! I felt new baseband roms gave slightly better battery with 3g !but Im on cyanogen based rom since I can't sacrifice customizations!
Oxygen v1.1 has good battery, also adfads A6 is really nice!get urself goldenleaf lg kernel! Also Google on how to improve battery!I prefer setting minimum frequency at 122(many say it not correct) but I get some extra juice when my phone is on standby!!

how do you have your phone switch from 3g to 2g when screen is off....? do you manually go into the settings and change it to 2g or is there an app that automatically does it?
also how would i go about switching from a .35 rom to a .32? is it just a simple flash of the rom from my recovery?
Bump...?
would anyone like to share more battery saving tips/roms?

A combination that works for me - Miracle V3 ROM with the PureMotive battery mod and beta3.1 Ace Kernel. Thus far, almost 24 hours, no force closes, battery life much improved, stable at 844 oc, smartassV2 gov. Phone is not getting as heated as previously while playing any 3D game, it just feels faster and smoother...response time awaking from deep sleep is smooth, so many things seem to be functioning better.
Those who believe the improvement in battery life to be a placebo effect, I do not believe that to be the case. I could very rarely go past 6-7 hours without dropping to 10% power left. With this combination, I have gone more than 16 hours and still 40% power left to go.
I have tried so many roms and mods and they all worked really well, but most really did not improve battery life by more than a couple of hours. The battery mod really worked with the Miracle ROM (any CM7 I guess) and the beta-3 ace kernel also seems to be adding on to making the ace smooth, lag free even when underclocked to 424 max and 122 min, Smartass V2 and nook as default...in call profile 787 max 244 min.
Love and respect to all the Devs and all who mod and improve the creations...thank you so much and keep up the great work.
Peace, Love, Respect to All

Thanks...at least one more person has had a slower-draining battery. I was actually beginning to wonder if only I was seeing the positive changes or was I seeing a placebo effect. Thanks, again

Thank you for sharing,
Downloading and trying, give me a couple of days to test and post my sesations as soon as possible.
Great... Hope it does wonders for your ace as well...it sure has lessened the number of charges for me...

Continuing to note the extension in battery life. Go Power Master is further adding to battery life in super-saver mode. In the nine months that I have had the ace, the max battery life I ever got was 12 hours on one occasion, that too only because I was not able to use wi-fi because the wi-fi modem had issues and could not be used. Today's snapshots are decisive. With Go Power Master, one full charge has lasted 20 hours and there is still 30% of the battery to be used.
Which one did you use?
One with semi colon or without?

Shall i use v1 or v2 of your zip??
Well said mate, even i feel the same positive effect where many said it to be a placebo.. I have posted my battery drain screens on the Puremotive mod thread too.. This combination works great..
I seriously just dropped 10% in 10 minutes while only on Wi-Fi, lowest brightness, no GPS, BT, or sync. I'm on jbear 1.57.5757 Hboot, s-OFF, JMZ STOCK ODEXED ROM and buttered toast 14.3 kernel. Max CPU freq 1566 MHz, lowest 300~. I also undervolted. What could be causing this HORRIBLY AWFUL battery drain? I'm seriously considering taking this phone back if I can't get this worked out. I appreciate any help, guys, thanks

I think it's time to change to another rom.
Check out my battery report using Yoda's rom v7.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36333382&postcount=869
The average Battery dropping rate is 1h = less than 1%
It can last 4d 0h 15m and the remaining battery is 12%
disable location tracking in google maps, disable gpu rendering. This will increase battery life.
Disable google now, if u don't use it.

SmartassV2 as well as some of the other included govenors in several of the custom kernels are not optimized or work very well on ICS.
Check this out it may help you choose the correct ROM that includes performance and batterylife!

I think most of the posts here are looking for simple tweaks to improve battery life, but it ignores the fact that something is seriously wrong.
I just flashed Gangnam with ButteredToast and the battery life drains about a percent per minute doing nothing. Flashed back to my old ROM and it was fine. Going to try Gangnam with stock kernel and see if it improves.
I think buttered toast is the problem.

Hello everyone, I didnt want to open a new thread so I picked this one up.
What is this? I bought the device in 2012 and the battery has lost 700 mAh capacity? How are your batteries performing? I know the information delivered by this app is not very reliable but I cant get the phone through a normal day anymore.
My suggestion
Maybe it is not just software error. Maybe your battery is damaged. Try to flash new AOSP rom with good kernel and see what will happen.
