Hello
I'm thinking of getting the Mini Pro on a good deal from Virgin Media.
My main concern is battery life.
Whats the average you get from your phones? I would normally check twitter a few times a day, surf the web for an hour or so and send a few texts. Call wise I would only use an averge of a few minutes a day.
I know there are custom rom's and kernels and am more than happy to experiment with them. Whats the best for battery life?
Many thanks for your assistance
xperia mini, rage kernel v2.3, clean and tweaked stock rom v3.1
up to 60 hours. using 3g about 2 hours daily

Hi!
I used my P500 for some months with CyanogenMmat, which is really great but sometimes produced screen freezes.
Now I'm giving my phone to a technically less skilled person. To make sure this person enjoys the phone as much as I did, I want to install an adequate rom for her.
In my opinion this means, the rom should be really stable and guarantee long battery life. Also it wouldn't hurt if the rom was quite up2date, but that's not the main issue.
Can you recommend me a rom?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I recommend you to give her the phone with rooted official GB because according to my experience, I believe that official one is the best for technically less skilled person and I also suggest you to install Player pro for best experience of music with its inbuilt 5 band equalizer and you may also use DSP pack but I think it will hard for her to adjust the 10 band equalizer..
Also suggest you to use flash player 11 for stock rom to enjoy online games and videos.. Search the XDA for the thread..
And no doubt that battery backup is good on stock roms. You can also use Juice defender app for enhancing the battery life.
If she use Stock rom definitely she will not face any problem with wifi, usb, 2G,3G or any thing else.
Press THANKS If I helped you.!!!
In my oppinion best stable is nightly4e and franco #4 kernel both combinations do extremly good job of preserving battery life
I am now using RESURRECTION 1.5, stock based and smooth so far
Both the wife and I are running oxygen with franco-4 and the wifes a junkie . Meaning phones always in her hand ... Making calls, texts, searching the net ,fb, playing smurfs and other games 75% of a day and she has never had any real problems other than a FC once or twice a week but phone always lasts her from 6:30 am till about 11pm. With her heavy use

old bb
mik cm7 6.5.8 + fserve gl(latest) + min480 max 710 + freeze/uninstall maps,facebook,tweeter + gps off when not in use + always 2g when not surfing the net...
new bb
nightly four e v4.6 + min480 max 710+ freeze/uninstall maps,facebook,twitter + gps off when not in use + always 2g when not surfing the net...
i cannot suggest what are the best battery friendly kernel between the new ones(fk 4,roqxiii,ta 1.1,etc...) i think all of them are performance oriented
I am running on an Xperia Mini Pro and have tried just about every custom ROM available.
What is the best one for battery life?
FXP (CM 7.2 and 9.0) seem equally bad so far, usually lasting slightly less than a day with very little use. I find that my phone tends to get warm when running these ROMs.
Nero ICS and Hybro ICS seemed to give me between a day and two days.
I can get 2-3 days out of Sony's stock ICS ROM and about the same out of their stock GB rom.
Does anyone have any tips on increasing battery life? I usually run Juice Defender. Why do custom ROMs suffer from such poor battery life compared to Sony's stock ROMs?

Hey,
I would say for the moment stock ICS is the best your going to get. If you want to stay with ICS?
Dont use task killers or anything like that they waste more battery than they save and they mess with android native tasking. Juice defender, I dont know much about it but so I wont comment, but I would say that if you turn off wifi and BT and things when you aren't using then you shouldn't need anything to make your battery last longer. Also make sure the wifi sleep policy is set to 'always stay on' and yeah that should be about it tbh.
Cheers,
Evil
My suggestion is

I suggest you use Zelly Cream ROM which can give you much battery life :

Please just try some and find the best kernel for your usage. We are not allowed to talk about best kernel/rom

XSX kernel v4 by mericon.
interested to know this too.
I'm currently running totally stock again at the moment and it's the best battery life I've ever hd. The phone lasts all day, with everything turned on (data/WiFi/sync), sending some texts, couple of calls, little bit of internet browsing for work, and listening to music to and from work. by the end of the night, I'm usually down to around 35% battery now, whereas before i;d be down to say 5% with everything turned off all day.
but I'm wondering if i can get even more out of this firmware if i install customer kernel, so that i can freeze junk apps/processes and use setcpu to reduce the CPU load when the screen is off (i can envisage getting 2 days use out of the phone this way).

Exactly, I'm also getting a very good battery, which i never expected outta this phone !!
Check out the attachments.. Good 40-50 mins of calling, minimum 2hrs of music playback and a little temple run and major mayhem.. Captured 13 pics and 3 min video in full resolution and here is the time it lasted : 1day 17hrs.. With 5 % still to spare
Edit : With 4hrs 26 min of on screen time !!
I am planning to buy S3 and wanted to ask few questions about phone as I am choosing between S3 and One X+, my questions are
1) how is the battery life? what is the average time you get while screen on?
2) Is phone laggy sometimes?

already many identical posts are available. take some time to search.
battery life is great!
the phone is not laggy until we use it too much heavily. i prefer S3. :good:
The battery life is excellent, you can choose to root it and fool around trying different kernels and ROMs to try to boost your battery life. Its not laggy at all.
Currently using slimROM . After 11 hours and 50 minutes on battery, and using it for a total 3 hours 45 minutes with GPS, WIFI, 4G, tons of texting, browsing, and Facebook use, its not bad. . You would probably get better life on stock since TouchWiz has a much better battery life than AOSP ROMs

I am currently running Insertcoin 2.5.0 and have been getting bad battery life. My use is mostly just browsing, watching Youtube videos, flipboard, and I don't really play games. My service is usually 4 or 5 bars and I have tried monitoring my use with Gsam. I can not get even to 2.5 hrs. or screen on time. I have tried various roms but had the same or worse result most of the time. I know my battery isn't bad because, just to test, I used the original Verizon Sense 4 rom that came with the phone and with the same use, had great battery life, easily able to get 3.5 hrs. or screen on time. I don't want to use Sense 4 however so, what are some of the great roms for battery life? I prefer sense but aosp/aokp works also, just as long as there is good battery life.
Thanks
Best rom thread is not allowed in xda.. Do experiment yourself
Greetings,
As stated above there is no "best rom"
Best thing to do is read and flash and find what works best for you.
