Is there a rom that can push the phone's battery to 2 days? Something which can disable a core, underclock the other one, disable 4g, etc? I can't seem to find any in the dev section.
Thanks
Yes...
Plenty of options have a look around. Tegrak good search keyword.

Try this and this
CheckRom V.6.0 and Speedmod k2-21 = Simply unbeatable
Although battery life had more to do with a kernel than an actual ROM
Any Rom is only a starting place. Doesn't matter if its stock or custom.
From there you have to tweak things from kernels to the apps you install.
Best battery Rom is the one you end up with after doing all that.
Have fun reading learning and experimenting.

There is no such thing as the "most power efficient battery saving rom". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.

I've been browsing the development threads for weeks now and the more I read the more confused I get regarding which Kernel to use on my GS2 (XXKG2). I guess like everybody I'd like the best combination between maximum speed, battery durability and safety.
At the moment I'm using stock with CPU Master.
Any thoughts?
Hm, tough thing to answer.
Chainfire root- The simplest one out there. Keeps the kernel close to Stock.
Ninphetamine- Supports BLN, Overclocking, Voltage Tweaks etc.
There are few others too, but as I haven't tried them won't comment. Any kernel can be used with Stock firmware. Can't say about Custom firmwares as I am not interested.
Regards.
[KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K1-T27 CWM4 CIFS ROOT]
Forget about Ninphetamine unless you want to overclock.
neophyte's mirage kernel is also good for batt life. it has finer tweak settings for voltages as compared to other kernels.
I've tried them all ninpo kernel and speedmod are two of the best. Currently using the tweaked speedmod by rage which allows undervolting. Ninpo kernel gives excellent standby idle rate.

I like speedmod because i dont bother about BLN or overclocking. (1.2 GHz not good enough for you? ) And i find the governer to be more aggressive and stable on speedmod. It spends more time on the lower frequencies too, saving more battery.
I'm trying the speedmod kernel but even though the benchmark is higher it doesn't seem as fast as the original XXKG2. For instance, I'm using "Photo Wall live wallpaper" and whenever I wake up the phone it takes like a second to refresh and load the photos...this didn't happen with XXKG2 (it was instantaneous).
What is a faster but still stable kernel alternative?
You could ask a 100 people and get 100 different answers.
The kernel that is best for you is the one you try and like the best. Just because one person likes a kernel doesn't mean you will as you've already found out.
Man up, do some downloading and find out for yourself.

How helpful. I think you might just have been Ghandi in a different life.
There is a reason why I've posted this in the Q&A instead of in the development section where I would probably get an answer like yours.
I don't take chances with a 600us$ phone and won't be installing all available kernels when I can get advice here first (the reason forums like this actually exists and the reason why I love them...well, most of the time).
Photos live wallpaper etc would be more of a rom thing, than a kernel thing.
As far as best or what have you kernel, there is no best, i find ninphetamine to be good, you may not, and this might just end up turning into another thread of generic repetition and general uselessness.
The best way is to try them, as the person above said.

I am using KG6 with ninpheghamine 2.1.3 and quick and giving me almost two days of battery life but again maybe other kernels out there are better. You can try other ones and compare.

Christ on a bike. You do understand what you are getting into when you start dicking around with your phone and custom kernels don't you? You don't take chances with a 600 dollar phone - I'm afraid you are doing, everytime you install any custom rom or custom kernel. However there is no more risk in installing one custom kernel than another custom kernel (when they are out of beta anyway), but what people prefer is massively subjective! Theres no such thing as "the most balanced kernel" because people have differing views on which kernel offers this for them.
If your not sure about a kernel why not read the thread for that kernel and see what feedback its got. If you open a thread like this you'll get a ton of differing answers as you've seen already and its not going to keep you happy.
Sorry if you don't find my advice helpful, but I've managed to find the ROM I like and the kernel I like by TRYING them. Neither of which have been mentioned in this thread by the way, but I'm not going to say its best for you, because you likely use your phone for different scenarios than me.
If your going to step into the brave world of custom kernels, rooting, roms, themes, mods etc the best thing you can do - and I say this genuinely, and meaning to be helpful - is to read up on said things and try the ones you like the sound of and you trust to be safe.

Couldn't this be GPU related? Do you think apps like Chainfire3D or Overclocking free (GPU/CPU) would fix it?
I was just curious to what are some of the better battery saving roms out their. I have a samsung galaxay s 2 i777 and after the dreadful 2.3.6 update my phones battery dies before the end of the day (thats if i dont use it) and withing 12 hours if i use it through the day. Im looking for a flashy rom that does not take up to much battery life anything better than this 2.3.6 att update would be great. So what is your favorite battery saving rom, and why?
sorry, but this thread is going to die...
why's that, this is a general question after all.

Understood...
Unfortunately, the mods don't like people getting into spitting matches over which ROM is better. Typically they will spiral out of control.
Your best bet is to just peruse the forums and try multiple ROMs and find what is best for you.

ROMs are like girlfriends, you can pick the good looking one, but that does not mean that she wont nag. Younger is not always better.
I have been in a quest for this very thing and I can tell you that so much depends on your usage patterns, applications you install, and other stuff, that there is no perfect solutions.
Given where you are, I would go to this thread and read as much as you can. Probably the single best place to learn how to figure out the root cause and the strength/weakness of a ROM base:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
So to answer you with my personal view is that:
- I cannot use the Hellraised ROMs due to my requirement to have password
- Many have had good experience with Hellraised ROMs, so if you do not have that restriction (PIN or PW), I would try that
- So from the i777 base, the best battery life for me came from UnNamed 1.3.2 with DD kernel. I still have significant battery problems, but that gives me the best

Best simile ever!
Ya, these threads dont usually produce good wholesome conversations... it usually turns into a popularity contest and different Devs dont like to see that.
However, for battery saving, there is a good thread going on here with awesome data.
Thread closed.
I need a rom that's fast, lite, and a total battery saver
it would be awesome if it can include arabic support
don't post
cm7
cm9
wanam rom
or any other ics look alike's
( i flashed ics before and gingerbread was way better)
post links of the rom
thank you xda and all xda users, i am so happy to be apart of this
You've basically excluded every rom which might give you a chance at decent battery life, however, I digress...
There is no such thing as the "best rom a total battery saver". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.

Mods will close this thread within a few hrs even tho it's Easter/the weekend :-|
Just try the ROMs. That's why the threads exist, for you to take the initiative to read them and search them.

Hey there you awesome developers.
I am just after a new rom which is stable and fairly fast but with good battery life.
I am currently on the official Three UK 4.03 rom and frankly.. it sux the big one.
The battery life is just absolutely terrible and it is also starting to become a little buggy in the last few days.
I have also had bluetooth connection problems to my work car since upgrading to ICS.
Any ideas or good suggestions for a rom that you can recommend??
Cheers people and major props for an awesome forum, just awesome.

Given how quick/simple it is to flash roms & backup/restore in CWM there is no excuse for you not trying out a bunch of roms for yourself. Tipping this thread is closed within an hour.

Hi,
I've met with Galaxy S2 after ICS released so I've never used GB roms. So far I've tried ParanoidDroid, D4ROM, Hydrog3n, Slim Rom, Litening Rom, Turkbey Rom and Resurrection Remix. I've fairly used them all and happy with Hydrog3n atm. My gf also bought S2 and complaining about battery life since I've never tried GB roms and don't have any technical knowladge to compare GB with ICS (I mean voltage and stuff) I ask you gentleman to recommand a rom for me. It doesn't matter if it's stock ICS or stock GB or some custom rom. I just want to get best battery life out of Galaxy S2. Since I think custom roms remove most of the unnecesery apps and stuff from stock's it has to last longer and since ICS is newer and as far as I've read from posts that the voltage values on paper are lower then GB ICS has to last longer than GB but somehow ICS consumes more battery. I just upgraded her phone to ICS stock with Siyah Kernel with battery profile but she is complaining to me that it was better before I'm very confused and couldn't decide on what to do.
Is it better to not root at all or return back to GB ? I just want to maximize the battery life.
Thanks in advance

No rom. Because there are far too many variables which determine battery life to say conclusively "Such and such rom/kernel is teh awesomz battery life man !"
Battery life depends on how you have the phone setup and how you use it. Any tweaks you might have made to kernel settings, and so on. There is no simple path to getting the best battery life possible from your phone, there are no quick fixes. It's a matter of experimenting with your phone setup & trying different roms/kernels until you find one that's good for you.
If that kind of thing doesn't enthuse you, as well as being in the wrong place, you might as well stick to stock tbh.
With all this in mind, IAmFrk was quite right to refer you to the forum policy of not asking for rom/kernel recommendations. There have been hundreds of these threads in the past, you should do a search & see what people recommended in those rather than start another thread.
No no you guys understood my q wrong. I'm asking if GB is better in terms of battery than ICS and not rooting the phone is a better option than rooting or not. I'm not asking any roms or kernels since I don't need any recommendation on that for myself since I've been trying diffrent roms and kernels in that matter. I just want technical information for the stuff as I mentioned above not rom or kernel. The difference between GB and ICS, stock phone and rooted phone. Does rooting a good thing or not ofc I've read tweak battery life related posts before asking mine but couldn't find any info comparing my needs.
And I'm asking this since I upgraded her phone and didn't do anything else she is using the same settings as she did in GB but her battery lasts less. That's why I'm questioning the GB and ICS, with the same settings which one will last longer ?
But it isn't as simple as 'GB is better in terms of battery than ICS'.
Some people on here (who help a lot of people in Q&A and whose opinions I really respect a lot) say GB is better, ICS is buggy & they've had crap battery life from the roms they've tried. For me, I get the best battery life I've ever had with CM9. Why ? Because I've put in the time/effort to tweak my setup to make it that way. My point is if you ask 100 people on XDA that question, you'll get different answers to the question depending on the person.
So far as rooting/not rooting concerned, again, nothing to do with battery life per se. What rooting does is give you control over your phone, and can (it can also enable you to make your battery life/phone performance a whole lot worse) enable you to run kernels (and tweak those kernels), and enable you to set your phone up to possibly give you better battery life .
Given it's your GF's phone & I presume you want it to work well 100% of the time with no glitches (because you'll probably end up playing tech support, which from experience I know is a pain in the arse), leave it on stock.
On the other hand if you like a challenge, I've given you plenty to think about in my two posts. Every bit of info you could possibly need to tweak your phone is on XDA. It's just a matter of searching, reading, learning & then using that info to make a setup that gives you what you want.

I totally agree with you I'm very happy with my rom also coz I'm tweaking kernel and also manually disabling stuff by myself but It's not possible for me to do that to my gf coz I'll have to act as tech support and I'm always checking if there is anything on wake while the screen is off and act accordingly to it, I can't do this on her phone.
So as you mentioned I'm not asking this formyself nor asking a rom reccomendetion but as you said I think I'm gonna install stock GB and do the necessary settings for her and leave it.
Thanks for your replies much appreciated.

Best ROM is the one that works best for you. There are too many variables. Try a few out and make your own decision.
