Which rom has the best battery life? There are too many roms out there but i just need to know which rom gives best battery life i spent most of the day outside so i hate it when my battery drains....currently using gingerdx v005...its pretty good for battery life but um looking forward to get more...any idas from anyone??
2.3.5 roms are all using a lot of battery power in my opinion but these are still young roms. I guess stock SE roms and 2.2 roms have a lower consumption level.
Try slade's MiniCM6, its very good and doesnt have battery drain
i've been using gingerdx, which is a gb rom, and it's been great in terms of battery life...dare i say better than froyo...
and quick as f#%k
gingerDX surprised me in terms of battery life. you should try.
Hey guys,
I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.
Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.
Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...
Thanks in advance!
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.
What's your cell standby reading? Percentage of battery use? Also of android system and OS,?

i recommend NEO 9 v5 it has great battery life and its really smooth it comes with led version and no-led
When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.
Stock kernel is more stable but other kernels give better battery an there much smoother

I'm on SOAB right now but I find the battery draining way too quick for my liking. To date, which would you guys recommend? With or without Sense.
I think all the recent stock releases, including MR4, have pretty good battery life. That means Roms based on those, hopefully, have good battery life also. I find AOSP ROMs about 10 to 20% worse on battery life.
Just pick a good rom based on the latest release, potentially with the stock kernel, and you should be good to go. And get a rezound battery while you are at it. Good luck.

I have been using MeanROM ICS 2.3 and have been loving it. However, for the first time in over a year of magnificent stock battery life, I am seeing it slip away faster than I have before.
My question to the general audience would be... which ICS Rom do you believe sacrifices the least amount of juice/gives the most battery life?
I haven't done any real tests but i'm running swagged out stock and i'm pretty happy with it. I've also tried inbreded rom and that was pretty good as well

Share your experience with different android versions on our beloved optimus one ...
here is mine
2.2 (official) = best battery life and Stability
2.3(official)=decreased battery life compared to 2.2
2.3(Cm7)=Amazing perfomance , best for gaming
4.0 (cm9)= Decreased perfomance compared to 2.3 but better than jellybean
4.1(cm10)=Smooth compared to ics and ginger bread , but battery life is not good as we could get in gb or ics
4.2(cm10.1)=Smooothest......
camera quality decreased compared to ics , gb and jb 4.1
i felt that the best one is GB for all over perfomance...
like gaming and battery life

would be sweet if we would have 2.2 with some new tweaks and jb theme
it would have greatest battery life with minimum ram consumption, decent speed and it would look like jelly bean.
what else does an average user need?
I like stock gb most!
2.2 It was the best!
2.3- most stable with least bugs. can be used with custom kernel, which is a best combination for stability and performance. ( my current running rom )
2.3.7- light weight, fast with least bugs and themes for cm7 make it look great too!
4.04 pure cm9- I like the Google talk of ics and the themes too, Rom lags a bit, camera is not so promising.
4.1- I have never used it

2.2=average battery, average performance.
2.3 LG stock = good battery than froyo but little low performance
2.3.7=good battery, good performance, best roms imo
4.0.4=smooth but limited multitasking due to more ram usage, average battery
I didn't try 4.0 builds with 3.x kernels.
4.1 and 4.2 not tried...

My experience with P505
Froyo = antiquated, but usable if all you require is a simple smart phone
Gingerbread (Stock) = Less antiquated with more options, but stock is so proprietary which I don't appreciate
Gingerbread (2.3.7) = All the plusses of stock Gingerbread with more customization and less proprietary. Excellent battery life.
ICS (4.0.4) = non-proprietary with more options and much more pleasing UI. RAM consumption can be a negative, but using the V6 Supercharger scripts seems to really give a boost. As for battery life, I am still getting about 2 days of usage which is more than ample as long as I'm using one of sweetnsour's .35 kernels.
JB = Beautiful user interface and similar RAM consumption to ICS, however battery drain still needs to be tackled for me to consider using it as a daily driver. Work with the 3.0.x kernels may be promising with increasing both battery drain and performance.
I use the LG Phoenix P505, so most ROMs require me to flash a P505 compatible kernel so my options are a little more limited.
