I have Bamf Sense 3.0 RC2 with the stock kernal it came with. WORKS GREAT but the battery life on RC1 is HORRIBLE. it drains 24/7 is it the kernal or radio or rom that causing it to suck. It also charges Very slow.

It could be a combination of things, but more than likely, not the ROM itself. Imo came out with his latest GB kernel, which corrects the slow charging issue. You can also try using the speedtweak script to set on 'battsaver' which will underclock and not overclock to save battery.
Of course, there are the standard settings such as screen brightness and sync settings that also affect battery life. 4G is a tremendous battery hog even on the best ROM. Try to stay on Wi-Fi or if not downloading, 3G.
Here is the link to the latest kernel by Imo....download 1) lean test from the GB sense downloads section.

Release 3.3.2. Fixed the charging issue. I'm running imo's latest 3.3.4, zero problems with RC 2

thanks man im going to try the lean kernal.
I noticed with 3.0 sense bamf that
1. going in and out of calls is laggy
2. on call (most other roms too) battery drians 1-2% every minute

i had the same problem with battery life on this rom. i loved the look and the feel of it but 5 hours wasnt working for me. i did a lot of tweaks with wifi only, 3g only, brightness and auto sync, but still nothing changed. I switched over to gingerth3ory v4.2 last night charged to 100% with a battery calibration and running on 14 hours. with all the roms that i have flashed my phone tends to stay the same as far as setting.
It really seems as if you just have to use whatever runs best on your phone. I've heard nothing but people loving battery life on AOSP alpha ROMs so far and when I load them my battery sucks down like a champ. On the BAMF Stripped V1.8 my battery is pretty damn good. I'd just try out whatever ROM you like and see what has the best results for battery life on YOUR device.
You should try Bamf Sense 3.0 RC3 and run imo's kernel. might squeeze out more batterylife
Getting 40+ hours on BAMF 3 here
How does someone get 40 hours on their phone!? even when my phone is sitting on the couch next to me on idle I'm still only getting 14-16hrs AT MOST. Whats your tricks? extended battery?? I refuse to throw that brick on the back of my phone!

It really isn't that big at all. I felt the same way when it came out and I saw pictures of others with it on. But when you actually get it, its isn't bad at all, and I have grown to like it more because it helps when holding the phone in landscape view so much more. Plus the fact of knowing I can do whatever I want with my phone, all day, and make it through with no problem. This is also being OC'd to 1.6 24/7

If I am running Bamf Sense 3.0 RC3 and the MR2 radio which kernel should I install? I see 6 listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
Is it the Lean Test?

I couldn't of said it better myself. The extended battery really isn't that bad. And knowing I can do w/e I want all day and make it home is more than worth the cost and added size!
I recently got the galaxy s2 and it is my first Android phone. I love it but the battery life wasn't great. I recently rooted my phone and flashed with unNamed ROM and I feel like the battery life has doubled. Has everyone gotten this or could it be something else?

Battery life is great for me. The general census seems to be the same bro. UnNamed is an awesome rom that uses entrophys kernel that should increase the battery life of your device. Welcome to android. By the way. Cognition is an awesome rom too along with serendipity.
I flashed to UnNamed rom yesterday, today is my first full day with it. With moderate usage after 10 hours (wifi mostly off for the day), I'm sitting at 80%, with stock, I could barely make it to 15 hours.
What I noticed with UnNamed rom is my AOS usage is stable under 10% through out the day, where it was almost always >65% with stock!
Thanks for the reply guys!! Yeah it amazing how much better the battery has gotten with this ROM. I almost started to think the battery meter was off but I ran it down and its not off at all. Im not exaggerating when I say its getting double the time on a charge.
It seems to vary a bit for me. Yesterday I was at 75% remaining after 12hrs and I was using the phone a fair amount as I was off work. Today, also off work, I was down to around 45% after the same time. I didn't do anything more out of the ordinary but then again, I didn't specifically monitor it that close both days.
Either way, it's till much better than it was with stock.
Yup, there's crap in the stock ROM that drives data usage, which drives AOS up and kills battery.
Although: My "experimental" series kernels are based on 2.6.35.14, which it turns out hides AOS reporting without reducing drain.
OR - AOS was reported falsely high to begin with.
Still investigating.
FWIW, I have both Wifi sharing apps frozen in TiBu, but then I had it froze before flashing UnNamed, didn't see much of a battery increase until I flashed new rom.
As for AOS, it would start around 25% then fast climb to >90% in stock rom, I spent hours experimenting with different combos to see if anything definitive triggers the "reported" AOS drain, but nothing helped.
Anyways, I'm very happy with UnNamed and intend to keep it for now as I see no reason to flash to others at this point. A big THANK YOU to both gtg and entropy!
are you guys that are seeing reduced AOS use in UnNamed using Wi-Fi at all?
There seems to have been some correlation between turning Wi-Fi on in the stock ROM and increased AOS usage.
So I'm curious if this correlation disappears in UnNamed?
What is "AOS"?

Android OS -- a process that will show up in the battery status menu.

My guess is there's some app in the stock ROM that gtg removed in Unnamed that is set to only use data when on wifi.
My high AOS problem in stock was not directly related to wifi being on. Once it reached >25%, it just kept creeping up sans a complete reboot.
Ah ok.
But your problem has disappeared since you installed UnNamed?
Yup, it's now anywhere from 2-15% during the day.

I have been using UnNamed for about a week, added task650s theme...
My battery life is noticeably improved over stock. My AOS is at 13%, third down... I never noticed what it was stock, just know this is a great ROM. Fast, stable, great battery life.
I forgot to ask gtg - is he including experimental or non-experimental?
If the kernel version is 2.6.35.7 - if AOS is less than 10% for you, you are doing EXTREMELY well.
If 2.6.35.14 (experimental) - That alone will make AOS display as far lower without actually changing drain statistics.
How does a different ROM improve battery life so much over stock? I already rooted and removed most of the bloatware, but I'm still concerned about battery life. I wonder if it's worth switching.
EDIT: Some posts are saying that it's the kernel. If I just go ahead and install it from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460 while still staying on the stock ROM, would it help my battery life?
My kernel is 2.6.35.7
Yesterday, while on the go, AOS stayed between 8-12% range. Today on charge, it's stable at 2%.
My kernel will provide some improvements in battery life, although I wouldn't consider there to be anything drastic yet compared to stock.
Unless you fall victim to the fuel_alerted wakelock... That one's nasty.
I might had been the victim of that wakelock, seeing how event/0 and suspense were killing the battery on stock rom.
Hey guys, I installed for a few days the Photon CM9 build and I absolutely loved it. The only problem I had was that it seemed to consume battery way too fast (and I calibrated it several times to make sure it was done properly)
It would drain around ~20-25% overnight. I don't know if anyone else is facing similar issues? And if you are, what steps did you take to remedy it? (As much as I appreciate nottach's work on TDS, I cannot go back to Gingerbread anymore )
I haven't found anyone mentioning this, but my GS4 (currently running Dubbsy's PureGv3) is losing around 12% battery to FactoryKeystring. I've noticed it in a few other ROMs too. Any ideas?
Thanks
I've been stock rooted for several weeks now & have noticed that the phone isn't quite as fast as it was stock. It's not as responsive at times & even worse I've noticed the battery life has decreased. Before I rooted I could easily get a solid 12 hours & now I get 8 to 10. Last night I went to sleep & my phone was at 72% & when I woke up today it was at 12 which is horrible standby time.
This is the 3rd HTC I've rooted & I've never had an issue like this before. I haven't had a chance to go S-Off yet. Any idea on what it could be? Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the performance back to what it was?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure from what you have said what the cause is. I just know that I have used all of the different roms for this phone (I'm on Verizon) and never had any battery drain like that. Maybe a factory reset and watch what 3rd party apps you re-install? One (or more) may be causing the drain.
