As the titles states, i would just like to make this thread for everyone willing to come in and share their experience with different roms and preferably show some screenshots of the graph and screen on time. I will be uploading mine shortly

But this is not a Question is it .

i've discoverend that the best rom for battery performance in my scenario is DarkyRom HD - i've tried so many ICS based roms and all the promises of "better battery performance" have not yielded anything more fruitful than what darky provides - as a matter of fact, darkROM HD is the only rom that actually charges my battery while i use it.. other just discharge regardless of whatever tweek and power saving setting i set on it
I've used HydrogenICS and it's one of the best for battery life imo. The base is AOKP
CM9 with N.E.A.K kernel - amazing battery life.

Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!
Please lemme know your personal findings!
Thanks
BTW All posts will be thanked

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.

The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.
Please! More opinions and thoughts!

Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

Thanks man! All other opinions are appreciated too!

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.
Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.
i get about 17 hours with about 5.30 hours of display on samsung based ROM but then again it all depends on what you use your cell for
Thanks for all the input keep em coming!

Any screen on times for aosp? Thx!
Which one is better with battery life, Performance and General Stability? Also, Which kernel gives Best Battery life and stability for the better Rom?
iOS.
In other words, you will not get the same performance, battery life or have the same experience with a given rom or kernel compared to someone else with the same rom or kernel. Your phone is setup differently, you use your phone differently & your phone came out of the factory differently to everyone else's.
Sooo...Try them both out & see how they work for you.

I tryied checkrom and has good battery life (even better if you make UV), actually i'm testing hyperdroid 6 and is a good option too.
Try them both and test them out.

This will likely be a controversial topic, but I'm going to risk it.
Also note that this is not meant to be a jab at kernel developers, or an attempt to lick CM developers' balls.
I have just been thinking. Custom kernels often claim an improvement in battery life or performance with their kernels. With Samsung ROMs, this is believable. The case of the fuel_alerted bug not being fixed with Samsung ROMs is an example that Samsung kernels aren't the best.
However, with Cyanogenmod ROMs you would think that the developers of CM would know best, since they *probably* work far more intimately with the code than custom kernel developers. Has anyone found an improvement in battery life with a custom kernel as compared to the stock CM kernel?
Now, I'm aware that custom kernels offer some features not found in the stock CM kernel, like how dual-booting is available for Siyah. But let's focus on battery life and performance for now.
Again, this is not meant to be a flaming thread. I genuinely wish for a conducive discussion on this topic. Lastly let me express my appreciation for both CM and Kernel developers, for devoting their own free time for our sakes.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for as an answer but a tweak i've used to give better battery performance is CPU FREQ_MIN. This is the frequency below which the 2nd core is not used. I don't believe you'd be able to use this tweak without a custom Kernel

It helps, thanks Personally I would prefer to try to quantify battery life with different kernels myself. Most phone review sites choose to test battery life by looping a video, however I do not believe this accurately measures battery life.
If anyone knows of an app that loops web browsing I will be happy to test it for myself.
I don't even care for extra 10 minutes battery life. If you want extra battery life don't use the phone. Lol.

But I bought the phone so that I can use it right?
Generally which provide best battery life?
Also, which individual ROM do you think provides the best battery life?
Stock based roms will provide better battery life than cm based roms.There is no individual rom with best battery life.You have to try them personally.
It also depends upon how many apps are running in background.
A debloated rom will be faster(and battery friendly?).
A kernel is also responsible.There are many kernels.I cannot tell which has best battery life.You have to try them personally.I would suggest to try apolo kernel.

Disagree. I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms on the S2 Vs Samsung-based roms.
OP - there are so many variables re: battery life it's impossible to give a definitive answer/answer for your situation because everyone has their phone setup differently & everyone uses it differently. You're only going to find out what gives you the best battery life by trying out roms/kernels. People who have looked for shortcuts re: this in the past have ended up rather disappointed ('Someone told me rom/kernel X has fantastic battery life but it was crap for me').
I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms.
Just reported this thread, before it is too late If you don't understand why: please read the answer from MistahBungle again.

Hi,
I keep on trying various ROMs available. I have noticed that on the same usage pattern 20 hours after a charge stock ROM or stock based ROMS give me around 2 hours to 2.15 hours of screen on time on 3G/2G but if I use AOSP based ROM Omega or earlier the CM it gives me hardly 1.15 hours of screen on time and it dies! Does anybody experience it? Any ways to improve battery life on OMEGA ROM to match it with Sammy ROMS?
I use minimal apps including whatsapp, location on, gmail on push sync,twitter, a little of music max 1 ~1.5 hrs. Also have installed same Kernel Agni with same profiles extreme battery saving or normal-optimized! But still I find so much of difference!
Another thing I have noticed I use 700 mAh charger to charge my phone, it takes around 3 hours on Sammy ROMs but it charges like in 2 or 2.15 hrs on Omega/AOSP based ROMs.
Can anyone help me to understand if you face similar issues? any solutions? any way we can improve battery life on Omega? Please don't tell to turn off location that has hardly helped me!
P.S. Omega ROM version 4.4.2 everywhere! and Sammy ROM 4.3 everywhere!

Hey thanks for reply! I don't want to actually stay on lower frequencies! 1.4GHz max is ok! I wanted to know have you experienced such things with Sammy vs AOKP/AOSP/CM ROMS ? Already s3 is laggiest devices I have >.>
