It's based on 2.3.4 because in europe (or at least , in italy) the latest update is 2.3.4 . So the rom is based on our stock rom.
And is known that battery life in EU is better then what stock roms on US give.
Try it if u want

Don't know why you would think Nottachtrix has awful battery life. With Faux 1.0GHz, some mild UV, and application management I get up to 40hrs with medium usage, data on all the time, and WiFi on 50% of the time. Since most people charge their phones on a daily/nightly basis, you only need to get through a day (which doesn't amount to 24hrs for the vast majority unless you are speeding).

+ 1. Nottachtrix rom's has good battery life. Its also the best blur rom here, in my opinion...

i think blur based by topogigi has better battery life than NottachTrix,but i prefer NottachTrix because that rom have themed

Well, thanks...I'm on NottachTrix for now.
I just flashed it yesterday and charged over night and in the morning it dropper to 94 in less then 1 hour when i almost didnt use it.
Now it seems to be ok with the ATT stock kernel (The faux kernel makes the phone very hot - i think lol).

as shhbz said, miks rom has a lot to give when it comes to performance but the battery life wont be as great as lgs 2.2.2 (my battery lasts about 2 days moderate usage, but its worth the performance)
edit: turns out u was using franco.kernel 18.1, which kills a lot of battery. I'll see how it goes now with another kernel

how to fix error in native sip rom mik 6.5.6.
It is the following problem. Whenever I make a call through SIP native-I always call sign even if the number for which I am connecting to is switched off or out of coverage. Explaining better if I call my own phone number and it is off I have ever heard sip native tone. I would like to fix this problem because I do a lot of calls over the Internet and thus never know if the phone is off or not ..
I sometimes manage to get 4-5 days with one charge too (that is on 2.2.1). When I tried void. #forever (yes, I do realize you're asking about cm7) with the built in kernel which is v17 I believe, I only managed to get about 3 days out of it. Even though my experience is not with the ROM you're asking about, I still hope that would give you some idea of what battery life is like once you go custom.

and longest i can use for it is 2day ==
stock rom 2.2.2 longest is 3-4days ~
mik's cm7 6.5.5 have sleep mode that increases battery life too much....
if u don't use ur phone too much u should try it... .
I had 70% using sleep mode after 3 hours still 70%... that was amazing for me...

[Q] VillainROM or Lite'ning Rom?

Hi!
I heard a lot of SGS2 users talking about these 2 custom ROMs like Lite'ning and Villain ROMs. Right now I'm using the Lite'ning ROM and I'm pretty happy with it, but I feel taht I need a change you know. So I was thinking to chnage my current rom to Villain ROM, but I don't know if it worth it? I need help to decide myself.
I would like to know which have the best battery life as I usea lot WIFI, internet and games. I focus most on the battery usage and a bit of style system improvements.
So, help me do decide, Lite'ning ROM or Villain ROM?
I don't even think it's worth rooting this phone right now. It's up to date, it's fast, all as stock...

With Lite'ning I really improved the battery usage.
VillianROM works for me . Very friendly thread as well .
Plus it doesn't take long to back up things and switch back if its not for you .

I want to know more about the battery usage? How much it lasts?
I actually feel that samsung made this phone pretty beastly as is and did a good job on the fw, so i prefer just stock KG6; I do from time to time flash CM7 to see how its running along with its changes. I say either CM7 or Stock samsung is amazing for this phone.

Nobody can predict your battery life, try it and see, don't like it, flash back......

I'd like to see some screenshots of your Battery Usage.
You sure you are actually using the phone
One week!? I was excited when mine lasted for two days! Put up a picture of this!
And how do I print screen it?

you guys dont seriously believe anyone is getting a weeks battery do you? lol
I tried CM7 and VillainROM 2.3/2.4.2 and stock of course. CM7 and Villain are far better, faster and the battery lasts longer
Don't think there will be much difference in battery life with the use of either one of these ROM themself.
They do use different kernels but you can flash them separately and then use setCPU and underclock / undervoltage and try to improve the battery life slightly that way ....
Also some opengl games (myth defence) don't work well with my old stock rom (KE7). Now with CM7 everything is fine and smooth
NeoPhyTe.x360
Tried both, used Villain Rom for a while. now love NeoPhyTe.x360

Best ROM in terms of battery life?

Im using cm7 right now and I really don't like it in terms of battery life. What are u guys using?
the rom won't give you bad or good battery life, the kernels do. try the eclipse or kangbang kernel. also as you know keeping 4g on no matter what rom causes excess drain.
that's funny. CM7 is one of the best for battery life. have you tried out different radios? the MR2.5 worked well for me when i was on CM7. i've been switching around lately between a few of DroidTh30ry's AOSP ROMs and using the new MR3.5 radio. it's still been doing well.
in general though, i find that AOSP roms are much better on battery then Sense based ones.
[EDIT] yeah the kernal plays a big part to. i decided to switch back to CM 7 1.6.1, MR3.5(802) radio and using Tiamat's kernal.
the Imoseyon 'leankernal' does a really good job to
The latest leaked ruu is giving me amazing battery life. I mean I've went from 9 hours with out plugging my phone in to

I'm getting excellent battery life from SkyRaider Zeus Preview on his stock kernel and the rooted 7/8 OTA radios.
Best ROM i've seen, period.
battery life is an awfully subjective topic, right up there with "best rom," "best kernel" and "best phone"
Don't forget "coolest car," "HOTTEST PORN,"AND "BEST WINE."

Amen, I totally agree with you!!
theres a lot you can do besides rom for battery life, but contrary to what is said above the rom DOES affect battery life. im on synergy and its great. but i also undervolt to 246 when screen off and run dconfig to kill apps when i get to 200mb of ram left. what ive found most affects battery life to be honest is how good your service is where your using your phone
Try this kernel
Gives me a ton of battery life!!!

which will be the best stock rom in terms of battery drain

rooted now i want more juice

Just rooted today...
My main issue is to extend the battery life.
Do I need to install a ROM to do that
If so what ROM do you suggest, but prefer something that is fast, barebones, great battery life, I am prolly going to be running go launcher...
How long have you been with the phone? I just got it a few days ago and waiting to "break-in" the battery...
I know for my t989 it was the same deal.
There are a few kernels that really help, go to the dev section and read up on them (and roms too!).
Install a custom rom and kernal.

I just got the phone on the weekend and installed xboarders BulletProof ROM day before yesterday and the SetCPU app. My battery life has improved dramatically. Now I can get 14-16 hours of moderate use out of the phone on 4g. This gets me through my day and has made this phone the PERFECT device for me. I love it!!
On Wifi and with more careful power management the battery could definitely last up to 24 hr.

Leaving WiFi on and scanning while not connected to a network will drain your battery, but in a head-to-head wifi vs 4g connection battle WiFi comes out on top.

I had if for a few months... you are 100 percent right about the break in period, when I first got this phone I could almost watch this phone drain to nothing..
I also purchased a couple of anker batteries and a wall chargers... I noticed that if I complete charge and drain the battery the life would even get better I did this about 12 times for each battery.

Yes you need to do both. Most, if not all, ROMs come with their own kernel that must be installed so that everything in the ROM works correctly. You flash a rom through recovery and then use fastboot to install the kernel. A lot of the current ROMs come with a script that flashes the kernel for you though, so it's not a big deal. (Other devices that have S-OFF can flash the kernel directly when you flash the rom, which is one reason why we want S-OFF so much, so possibly think about donating to the cause).
Awesome... installed the 4th sense rom... I am very happy with it so far!
I also flashed kernel by faux.. but I am not sure if took, how can I tell?
Any suggestions for overclocking my cpu... or does the kernel do that?
thanks a bunch guys I will let you know how the battery life issue goes!
Donations... Yes I will send some juice to these folks!

You'll know it works by not having any problems. I believe the kernel overclocks it for you, but OCing lowers battery life, so it kind of goes against what you originally wanted.

No problems so for.. battery life looks really good so far.. I just popped in a fresh battery so I will see how it goes.
It is overclocked for sure... I ran a couple of benchmark tests. We will see how it goes... I would like to get through a day... finally..
I am even thinking of underclocking... thanks again!

I've tried almost all of the roms here (except bulletproof) in combination with stock and faux kernels. The best combos I came up with for battery was BeastMod and 4th Bar with stock kernel from BeastMod. No matter what I did with faux kernels (OC, UC, Undervolt) I could never beat the battery life of stock kernel. Good luck and keep us updated.

For the limited time I have been on kernel and Rom there is been no significant change in battery life.
The phone is faster that is for sure.. that will drain battery
faster but I a running less widgets and no live wallpaper that I normally rock.
The deal breaker for me is that the sound remains on when you close apps/games... and stays on even when the screen is off.
I will give beat mod a try with a stock kernel.

[Q] Best Combo for Battery life?

Okay so I've been messing around with roms lately and I'm somewhat a flashaholic lol
But now I'm really looking for something flexible but GOOD on battery life.
What Combo is best for battery life?
such as Modem & Kernal (+ Rom)
I'm currently on this (at the moment):
Rom: MIUI V4 (360 PRODUCTIONS)
Kernel: 3.1.10-subZero-1.6 End_of_Line)) #167
Baseband Version: T959UVKA7
My battery life isn't really too special, I have wifi on, 3G preferred, auto brightness, sound on high. . .
85% - Discharging 2h 5m 30s on Battery
Any ideas on bettery battery life or is this pretty much good/normal?
also my battery isn't a samsung battery its an MYBAT 3.7V LI-ION Battery VLN-08 1200mAH . not too sure if that plays a big role in this.
sidenote: TWS IS ONLY 4%.

I'm going to make an assumption here, and perhaps it is an incorrect one.
I've installed countless ROM's on my Vibrant, and I've had mine a VERY long time (got mine the week before the official launch...long story).
I've found no roms that match the overall battery life of Samsung 2.2 froyo based roms. It is for this reason that, though I've tinkered with practically every single gingerbread, ics, and jb rom ever released, I always go back to my personal favorite as a daily driver. Project V w/Bali 1.8.8 kernel and KB5 baseband.
My assumption is that the "black box" effect is at play. Getting the last baseband available to us (KB5) to happily play with later builds of android has always been an exercise in frustration. Sure it has been made to "work" with later builds, but given the closed nature of it it's clear it just doesn't work as seamlessly well with anything else.
My battery life with 2.2 based roms has always been way better than later android builds, often lasting twice or more as long.
Thanks for the link I'll take a look at it.
@masterotaku : Everyone says Froyo has the worst battery life ever :\ but I also believe what works for my phone may not work for yours, and I do know Froyo is a very stable rom it was the rom i ended up going back to and sticking with on my MyTouch .

The best thing I ever did was to buy the Anker 1800mAH battery for my phone. Probably due to the fact that the stock battery is getting up there in age as I'm sure everyone's is. I recommend everyone buy one.
