Which rom has the best battery lif on O1? - Optimus One, P500, V General

I've looked for this thread but I haven't find it, so here I am
The title says everything: which rom has the best battery life?
I' ve heard of oxygen but I don't like it However, if that is really the best I'll get used to using it

My personal favourite isthe PerfectPeso by trettet.
My opinion is that it has the best performance, and the battery is also good.

i agree .

Blackbird v1.2 beta 1..its a themed stock rom..has amazing battery life

oxygen rom stock kernel or franco4 best battery life for me

Mmm...I've tried perfectpeso 2 weeks ago but the battery wasn't good! It had a big battery drain!
So I've have to choise between oxygen and blackbird...mmm...oxygen?

stick with an older rom... like Mik os's Cm7 port (6.5.7 is my fave) with fserve's goldenleaf LG kernel.... probably the longest lasting battery combination possible.

Oxygen is the best battery now
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

Flashed oxygen
I'll report battery performances

With mik_os 6.5.7 my battery lasted up to 5 days, and usualy 3-4 days on smoothas 245/600Mhz, so it is probably one of the best, but now using PerfectPeso2.2, yeah, battery isn't quite good but performance is WOW....

Does calibration really helps?

No, it doesn't, it kills your battery

That is because your laptop is previously showing incorrect battery level.

> for new baseband ..it's oxygen so far
> old baseband A8 by adfad + fserve kernel (goldenleaf)

No, it's because lithium ion batteries don't need to be calibrated. Unlike NiCad, they have no memory effect because they're internally monitored and regulated by a charge circuit.
Draining them to zero only adds a tremendous amount of unnecessary wear to the battery. It won't rewrite the information present in the charge circuit, because that circuit is actively monitoring the battery and will shut the device off long before you hit the battery's actual total capacity.
Bottom line: "Calibrating" a lithium ion battery does exactly the opposite of what it claims to do.

Don't know, but Apple and HP recommends calibrating the battery once 3 months or longer. Besides, it's not like I am calibrating everyday that would be crazy. Once in a while (months) won't do much damage to the battery.

using cm7rc1 but modified tasker to get at 122mhz and enable airplane mode at night. Gets through with 1 percent drop!

Which OS has best battery life !

SOMEONE !! HELP !!
I need to find out which ROM has the best battery life, can someone point me in the right direction pls....
Thanks

Try them all. It all depends on how you use your phone. There's no magical rom with great battery life.
If you use your phone a lot, go for a ROM which isn't overclocked.
If you want the longest idle time before recharge, I think you should set the "conservative" governor as a screen off policy and you will be fine. Of course you can also disable features such as data but you will loose many useful features of your phone. Unlike what some people says, disabling GPS doesn't improve battery life as it isn't used except when you start an application which use it.
Battery life is most affected by the screen light.
And with every rom you have to callibrate your battery. Most people with poor battery life haven't done this.
The Froyo roms are the best options because the are faster and less stressing for the juice.

They all have the same battery life (give or take 5 minutes)
All pretty similar.
Use an underclocked kernel, play around with brightness settings or use an app such as ultimate juice / juice defender to regulate 3g / wifi usage

How to callibrate my battery??
My Hero just lasts two Days with 691mhz Flykernel 11 and Elelinux 2.1 and no 3g.
I just hear a lot of music with it, connect it a few to wifi and play some games in the school.....
How long does your batteriest last?

You say two days without a charge with occasional wifi use (wifi on, screen on, phone signal on), and games playing (sound on screen on, processor busy) like it's a bad thing...
Since the mid 2000s phone capabilities have been surpassing battery performance at a remarkable rate. With the advent of the iphone and the gaining popularity android smartphones, phone feature demands have exploded while battery technology just isn't anywhere near providing the kind of battery life we expected on our dumb phones, ie, don't bother packing a charger for a two week holiday if you charge up before you leave.
This is a large reason why new technology is being created with more efficient manufacturing processes, smaller dies, etc etc, as it is easier to reduce power consumption at this time than it is to build slim, cheap, high capacity batteries.

Mine struggles to get a day battery life, with not very heavy useage... how do i calibrate my battery?

Poor battery life, other rom needed.

Hello,
I,m experience quite poor battery life when using wifi on my mini pro when using miniCM6 v5.
When I,m only typing this, I see my battery drain like a time-bomb.
In less then one minute, one percent batterylife goes away.
I already calibrated my battery.
I have 320mhz min, 710mhz max.
So I want to know if theres another rom available that has great battery life but still has the 5MP camera.
I experienced that the CM7 mods have greater batterylife, but they have crappy camera quality and I need the good camera badly.
So I hope someone can help me with my wish: best batterylife with 5MP camera working.
Thanks in advance,
Me2freedom

The poor battery life of the X10 Mini is known and can't be improved unfortunately.
I think MiniCM6 with undervolt, is the best ROM against battery drain, actually.
I had some battery issues a while ago. My phone would literally drain in about 5 hours with wifi off, sync off, data off and 2g only. No matter what rom I used. It happened suddenly after my usual 30+ hours (with everything on).
I tried all the battery calibration tips but none worked. It turns out my battery was a bit dodgy, it would discharge about 50 percent whilst disconnected from the phone overnight! It was always warm so I imagine there was a fault or short somewhere. it is the stock battery and only a couple of months old which surprised me.
Lithium poly batteries can be volotile if damaged/faulty so I urge caution if you try any battery calibration techniques - you don't want the phone to violently combust! The best advice I can give when charging is no more than 2 hours and then reboot or shutdown, no overnight charging as although there are safety mechanisms you can't be too careful. Lithium poly batteries DO NOT trickle charge so there is no point leaving it on longer as it will just keep cycling the last 2 percent with the charging circuit switching on/off/on/off/on/off... which can't be good.
To test whether or not it is a faulty battery, charge to 100 percent and shut down. Leave it off for a few hours and reboot. Lithium poly batteries have a very long storage life so should not suffer any significant loss of charge. If it has dropped more than a few percent without any 'load' on the battery then I would suggest its faulty and is discharging internally so cease using it and get a new battery.
My phone now runs properly, 30+ hours with cyanocomb 1.3 with all enabled bar gps and bluetooth. I even browse forums for a few hours! It really shouldn't be any less than that.

Okay, I think i'll try that then.
Standby time is great btw, yesterday morning it was 6 percent, and this morning it was 2 percent and still on.
So standby is not the problem, only when im using the phone it drains very quickly.
But I think thats normal.
I have a spare battery anyway, but thanks!
The best way is to bumpcharge your phone when u near a charger plug it in and use a memory manager and get rid of all the usles cluter my batery only lasts 1 day but thats the stock batery for u but if you have a rom with full rom managment use underclock with no more then 610 mh and baterysaver in cm settings

[Q] how to increasing your battery life alot!!

Hi I have really low battery life even I turn off everything. I play games alot but 4h is just not normal.
I really like to have more battery even if you think its enough because it cost me alot for charging and annoying.
thnxxx
I KNOW THERE A TONS OF SMILAIR QUESTIONS BUT I COULDNT FIND ONE SPECIFIC FOR MY PHONE
I had 4h of gameplay, finished 9MM, battery from 100% down to 10%, so as you can see, games are hard on battery, don't play games so much.
Buy an extra battery, you double your battery life for €8. I bought it here: http://www.e-giftshop.nl/a-25154890...j-accu-ba700-voor-de-sony-xperia-ray-1500-mah
Put screen birghtness as low as pleasant, use stock kernel, or stock based kernel.
And I agree with Madfysh ^

you cant boost battery life.
There is no app which can do that.
In my opinion even roms which claim to boost battery life are fake.
You can Root the delete all the pre-installed SE stuff.
Use V6 supercharger
Calibrate you battery (to prevent any bad values-calibration wont increase battery life but will make sure it is at its MAXIMUM_)
Now there are some kernels which use a technique in order to charge your battery even more
example: Your mobile allows the battery to be charged at 100% and then they discharge it to 90% after 10 min.
This kernel will not reduce battery from 100 to 90. What is more it will increase the maximum value from 100% to 110%.
BUT (YES THE HUGE BUT) it can destroy you battery (yes fire or blow up).
So i don't really recommend it.
I wont risk my life or my house either just for 20% more battery
OR EITHER INSTEAD OF DOING ALL THESE...
BUY A BATTERY FROM HERE
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=neo+v
to tell the truth i never bought a battery from there but i found posts which were saying they are good.
Unfortunately more life time means bigger battery which means for a 3100mAH( the standard battery of neo v is 1500 which means this one lasts x2.08 more time)
or a 3400mAH you will need bigger cover.
Or you can buy the 1700mAH which is not a huge boost(just 13% more) and stay with your current cover.
It is up to you to decide .

Every time when you charge your battery to 100% battery stats got deleted/recreated. So any process of calibration is useless.

Your example only happens if you leave your phone on charger(for some time) after it's been filled to 100%, but even then Sony is pretty good in this point, some other manufactures are even worse. I think HTC Evo had biggest problem with that.
Do you understand what happens in that case, and that it's normal, or else you would have fried your battery keeping it on charger.
There is one great post in XDA, showing you how charging goes, try finding it, if I remember where it is, will post it.
Also, please tell me where is that kernel which will charge your batter to 110%, because it's simply a big BS, and a totally useless thing
And another thing, @OP: phone(even if it's smartphone) is not made for gameplay, HD or not HD, it literally kills battery so bear with it.
Only thing you can do is get another battery and risk your phone with some cheap batteries.
i cant find the post(it was on XDA) it was talking about different features of kernels and there was a kernel which was over charging your battery and wasnt reducing it to 90% too.
That way you had A good enough boost but YES a lot of users had problems because the batteries were "FRIED" i saw one which his phone was in smoke and burned at the back cover, someone's else battery died.
Hmm.. Just noticed when my phone says 100% charged its not! If I pull battery & reboot its 96%.. Is this a bug or what??
But does Supercharger REALLY help your battery [little bit]???
And could I destroy my battery if I always has to charge it?? [1x per day]
Im still gonna try calibrating battery but I also think it wont work.

rebooting eats up a LOT of battery power, so thats why it drops to %96 after booting.

And no, you won't destroy your battery, indeed you will shorten her life, but hey, you are using smartphone, and it's making your life easier, if you will gonna spend time on thinking to much about battery, you're missing the point
X10 mini pro's battery charged aprox. 2X a day, is still live and kicking like first day
I would be more worried about playing games so much, which means, your CPU is high all the time.

Battery and battery percentage calculations are pretty abstract.. don't try to understand it, and don't bash your head so much about it. It's affected by many variables, and it's not 100% correct.
Sometimes shut down/turn on can take few % of your batter, sometimes it won't take a single %. Same as I have examples where my phone was on standby and in 7h didn't spend one single % of batter, while other day it spend 2,3%

[Q] Replacing i9100 battery

Hi,
I'm a new poster @ xda but have been a fan for quite a while.. not really the forum type so I haven't posted.
I have a question about replacing the battery in an i9100 (coming from the stock battery to a Replacement 3.7V 3500mAh Battery bought off of dx.com (sku: 73784).
For a while now, I have been unable to calibrate my battery correctly.. or maybe it's just my battery itself that's been giving me less than 4 hours idle.
I would like to know if there are any steps I should take before inserting the new battery... if anyone else has done this before and is reading this post I'd be very grateful for some advice.
I don't want to screw up the battery stats and the new battery itself.

U cant calibrate the battery by just deleting the battery stats.. just leave it for a week or 2. Then it should calibrate on its own. I m using andriod phones from 2 years i never tried to calibrate the battery i just ignore that. For me sometimes the battery percentage suddenly moves up by 1 or 2% if kept idle then starts decreasing, dunno why till today damn sure its not fake charging. U can try deleting the battery stats and rebooting to make sure it s writing the new battery stats. But it never works.

If you're on ICS or JB, you don't have calibrate your battery because every time you charge the battery to 100% all your data and stats are deleted and the service begins to collect info again. You read all about it here and here.
Battery calibration is a myth and nothing more for ICS/JB users.

Sure thing. I've been running the battery for 24 hours and I'm at 80% left. Medium usage.
Well this is nice. The extended battery gives me almost three days of usage. And this is the cheap 3500mah from DX. I just hope it doesn't blow up

[MOD][XPOSED][2.3+] DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown - v1.0 [ABANDONED]

DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown
(for Xposed Framework)
What?
Disables the Auto-Shutdown when Android detects a critical battery level
Why?
This is to prevent the auto-shutdown when you have 1% left of battery. It is useful for calibrating your battery by draining it completely, using Chinese Branded Batteries with terrible battery percentage detection or even lengthen the life of a phone with non-removable battery with terrible calibration.
Compatiblility
Not working on 4.3+
Tested only on AOSP 2.3, 4.0, 4.1
This project is abandoned, I will not add support for any other ROMs.
The App has no interface. It only shows a notification for the attempted shutdown (shown in the attachments)
Disclaimer 1
I am not responsible for any damage to CPUs, SD cards, Internal Storages, or other failures that happened after your battery became flat and your phone abruptly dies.
By choosing to use this module, you are fully aware that this can cause damage to your phone especially when writing data to the SD Card or Internal Storage.
Disclaimer 2
Lithium-Ion batteries should not be drained everyday over a long period of time. Doing so WILL decrease the lifespan of your battery. Calibration may or may not be a placebo, however, it really depends on how you use and what type of battery you use. If it has no effect for you on the first "calibration", please do not continue to drain your battery everyday.

1) No. Until your battery is completely dead
2) Yes, I haven't tested but it is compatible.
If it works, your phone will abruptly shutdown after receiving the "Blocked Shutdown X times"
If it doesn't work, you will see the shutdown dialog with the spinning wheel before your phone shuts down.

The side effect is allowing the battery to drain completely. Ususally used for calibration but if you use it everyday over a long period of time, it WILL decrease your battery life.

Doesn't work.
It's not compatible with 4.3 mate?
@zst123 gonna try it on my galaxy y duos stock GB 2.3.6.will post results later.
EDIT: it worked! thank you so much!

Thanks for your explanation. So, Whats the side effect from this app to the battery life? not damage to the phone's battery, isn't?

Lithium-Ion batteries are NOT meant to be drained. You WILL decrease the life of your battery (since it weakens the anode bars physically). Draining works for Ni-Mh batteries. Android calibrates your battery between 80 and 90% so if you have Lithium ion batteries, calibration is a placebo. Correct me if I'm wrong. :good:

Actually, if the battery metering chip (also known as the 'fuel gauge') is giving inaccurate results, calibration will make a world of difference. Here's an example - on my (generic Chinese) tablet, the meter often goes down quite slowly during usage, while voltage goes down normally (according to BMW). When the meter hits ~35%, the battery starts going down abruptly (~1%/second), until it gets to 0 and the tablet shuts down.
This doesn't mean at all that I have a flawed battery, since I am getting the same usage time as when I bought it (battery was flawed from the start? :silly: ) - the battery meter chip is simply inaccurate.
Thank you, OP, for this mod, it's gonna come in handy.
Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between this & removing the batterystats.bin system file?

Removing battery stats is different. On a battery with a terrible calibration, it will not prevent Android from shutting down when it (wrongly) detects a low battery. This module disables the shutdown when you reach 1% and below. Long term usage of draining to 0% WILL lower your battery life. So use only for calibration

Thanks. I recently purchased an extended battery with twice the mAh as the stock battery but I am still getting roughly the same amount of time out of a full charge. I am hoping this will fix that. :good:
YES!!!
Looking for 1 of this for sometime...
Good job...
My phone seems to have wonky battery life, it will jump from 14 to 12 to 10 to 3 percent then shut down.
This should help immensely for calibration if it does work.
Will report back. Happy holidays ☺

Didn't seem to work for my Beanstalk 4.4.2 HTC One. I am 100% willing to beta test or provide any data if needed
(I installed and activated module, rebooted, let battery drain to 0 from 16, phone proceeded to shut off right away)
