I apologize for I know that similar threads have been created but the last one is fairly old. I have mostly been running AOKP for the last few weeks but I recently tried out serendipity- I'll say that I do prefer an AOSP style rom over a samsung rom. I do like customization but battery life is a priority to me. Can someone please give some input to what rom/kernal/governors are being used to maximize battery life?
There is no simple answer to this question. All Kernels and ROMs are good - please refer to Entropy's battery drain thread for common issues affecting battery drain.
Some kernels however offer UV ability e.g. Siyah which allows u more flexibility.
Having said this I saw about the same battery life on most of the ICS roms I tried.
I am currently evaluating custom GB roms to see if the battery life is better.
Aokp and fluxxi. Pegasuq governor or something like that. Don't expect any other help from people. Smh

Thank you, I will try the fluxi kernel. I know i'm most likely only to receive an open-ended answer at best. It's just that honestly I have tried different combinations on my own without too much success

Sure that works for you but other kernels/governors are better for other people. That's what we're trying to get at so there's no need for a smh.

Yeah I understand that, it's just you would think that several people might say "woah hey this particular kernel has amazing bettery life!" But apparently that is not the case...

we've trained most not to say crap like that. its all dependent on user, apps, and device.
just play with them, find one that works best for you and your setup.

In your opinion which one is better for battery life and performance? ( If you didn't use both roms then your answer is useless..)
In my opinion CM9 is better because AOKP uses more ram but i cant figure out about the battery life.
Choice 1: AOKP
Choice 2: CM9
Choice 3: OTHER (Specify which rom and why is better)
I use CM9.

For battery life there are a number of variables. Kernel, OC/UV, modem, signal strength, apps running in the background just to name a few. Every phone is different (see some phones can overclock/undervolt but others cant) and every phone will have different results.
What you need to do is have a controlled situation, as in you flash both and see which works better for you. In this case, use everything the same except the rom and see which one gives you better battery. Nobody can tell you which one is better/longer/faster... you have to try it on your phone.
This is why we dont let "vs" threads happen. Nothing comes out of it because of all the inconsistencies. Most of the times, it starts a flame war because it develops into a rom popularity thread and then someone says "I dont like the way that this rom feels" and offends someone who uses that rom and then then all hell breaks loose and then I get 50 reported posts from Miami.
Anyways, for the purpose stated above, this thread is closed. Sorry, but we just dont allow "vs" threads here.

There is no best. This is a ridiculous question that gets asked every day. What's good for one person may not be for someone else.
You have to try them for yourself.
If there was a best, surely everyone would use only 1 rom....

Try CheckROMv2 + nimphetamin3 kernel

Hi,
It's not a silly question - there are far too many custom roms with custom kernels. The combinations of these add up to an awful lot of flashing, not to mention then running it for a few days to get an idea on battery and performance. It would probably take weeks!
Anyways, for me, i rooted my stock UK rom using Chainfire 6.3, and then froze any bloatware apps i didn't use or want using Titanium Pro. This is now giving me better battery life than previously and running nice and smooth.
To give you an idea, i had around 25 hours moderate use with around 4.5 hours screen time.
Hope that helps a little. I'll probably try a custom rom sometime once things settle a little more, though i'm really really hoping for Jelly Bean now.....

What Processes did you freeze? I am considering this too but I don't see too many processes which drain the battery (unlike the S2 when I first got it). Thanks.
My biggest issue with my ROM is essentially the battery life.everything else is amazing ( nice job objection creators). So the question I pose, with the official releaser of Ics is the battery performance better? Same?
Can we expect the battery life to increase street some good devs get their hands on it. Other then that....excellent job so far gentlemen.

I mean not THAT much difference between official ICS release and what devs already had so......
Imo only thing that can truly help is undervolting since we now have source
But even without that you will still have folks claiming they get 72 hours off a stock battery
So "battery life" is all relative to how you personally use your phone

If you dial *6969# naked girls come to where you are..... You need to flash a CUSTOM ROM you're on a stock ICS ROM you need to read a lot more go to the DEV section those are all custom ROMS.... For an instant change go to the play store and install Apex launcher.

If you're on stock ics (the official release) and someone told u there are speed improvements they lied. Any custom rom easily blows stock out of the water. Stock ( even when rooted) is basically for people who want to play it safe and for things to just work. If u want customization and speed ur best bet is an AOSP based rom. Good luck. Happy flashing.

Hey, since you came from the Gnex can you please tell me if the battery life is actually better or worse than your previous phone? I am using Gnexus right now but I want to buy a new phone and can't really decide between SGS3 and HOX. Although HOX is a clear winner here I am very concerned about the battery life since it is one of the most important things when it comes to phones for me. Thanks for your reply.

No issues with Battery life in all honesty. I can use for over 12 hours with constant use and it holds out without complaint. I couldn't say the same with the stock rom but I never really buy these handsets for stock use. I enjoy testing roms too much

hmm i was specifcally told not to flash AOSP roms . btw do you know if that will improve battery life as well. since i updated to official ICS from kies my battery dies really quick. quick meaning if i sleep with battery around 50-60%, i wake up after 7 or 8 hrs, and my battery is dead. im not sure exactly when it dies, but im pretty sure this is a flaw.

i thought it wasnt a problem cause i asked in terms of battery life..
Too many variables determine how much usage you're going to get out of a charge to be able to definitively say "rom/kernel X" will give you the best battery life.
That's why these threads are frowned upon (essentially a waste of time; you won't have the exact same experience with a given rom/kernel as me).
Only way to get great battery life is to read/learn/tweak/read some more/tweak/etc/etc. All the info you need is on this site, you just have to do a bit of digging to find it.
for me stock roms always have best battery life..
yeah asking a question like whats the best rom is stupid but he asked a concrete question, whats the best rom in terms of BATTERY LIFE. i think its legit but im not a mod to decide. still, it hasnt been removed so i think im right. im also curious btw. thats right u can tweak a lot and improve batt life but there are definetly better roms for battery life, there are some with good performance, others have great features etc.
