I'm thinking about buying an Atrix and putting an ICS rom on it.
For those of you who have an Atrix with ICS, what sort of battery life are you getting? Also, let me know what Rom you're using?
JOYOS V3 Excellent battery life
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
CM9 & AOKP both have excellent battery life.
Currently on AOKP 37a.
Atrix Head
So in terms of hours, how many many are you guys looking at?
These are guesstimates and not hard numbers since I dont actively keep track, but in my experience its been on par with Gingerbread. About 5 hours continuous use with the screen on, lasts between 1 and 3 days depending on how heavily its used.

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

New to the razor...which rom is the most stable and has the greatest battery? This is a opinion poll, thanks

Ive only ran eclipse 1.3. It seems to be a little better than stock in terms of battery life. Ive read MIUI and gummy do provide some good battery life.
Im running eclipse 1.3, and my battery drains pritty fast. I have asked the same question. Everyone says eclipse is good.
You can also try Black Widow Rom

You can only go so far with rom's since all roms are running off of the motorola stock kernel. Best bet is to get any rom and then freeze all the bloat you don't need. Then get a copy of SetCPU and manually set profiles using the hotplug governor to underclock the cpu when not in use or under certain conditions. Also make sure none of your apps are keeping the phone awake and preventing it from going to deep sleep mode.
I found running Easy Battery Saver on General Mode to be highly effective and I'm stock and unrooted. I can easily hit 12 hours without a charge.

Black Widow ROM
Was last updated 4/28/2012
When I ran this on my OG RAZR I got around 16-19 hours of battery with moderate usage.

I can confirm that! Black Widow has the greatest battery lifetime I've ever seen on Razr! But I got more than 19 hours usually, and that with more than just moderate usage!
Someone tell me the rom epsilon v4 is a good option to save battery, but i installed and had no satisfatory results. =/
in all reality they are all good on battery, BUT I am running arctic v2.2 on .215 update leak and arctic has the highest ranking benchmarks of any other roms. it is very good on my battery as of now and I am overclocked at 1350mhz, but i dont run it at that always usually 1000mhz to save more battery. my benchmark score on this rom was 3500 which is the best I got out of eclipse and arctic. those are the 2 top leading roms right now when it comes to being completely debloated and having good battery life/functionality
I am running on an Xperia Mini Pro and have tried just about every custom ROM available.
What is the best one for battery life?
FXP (CM 7.2 and 9.0) seem equally bad so far, usually lasting slightly less than a day with very little use. I find that my phone tends to get warm when running these ROMs.
Nero ICS and Hybro ICS seemed to give me between a day and two days.
I can get 2-3 days out of Sony's stock ICS ROM and about the same out of their stock GB rom.
Does anyone have any tips on increasing battery life? I usually run Juice Defender. Why do custom ROMs suffer from such poor battery life compared to Sony's stock ROMs?

Hey,
I would say for the moment stock ICS is the best your going to get. If you want to stay with ICS?
Dont use task killers or anything like that they waste more battery than they save and they mess with android native tasking. Juice defender, I dont know much about it but so I wont comment, but I would say that if you turn off wifi and BT and things when you aren't using then you shouldn't need anything to make your battery last longer. Also make sure the wifi sleep policy is set to 'always stay on' and yeah that should be about it tbh.
Cheers,
Evil
My suggestion is

I suggest you use Zelly Cream ROM which can give you much battery life :

Please just try some and find the best kernel for your usage. We are not allowed to talk about best kernel/rom
What the RC posted above here....Thanks.
Is it just me or does battery life on CM9 for Note suck?
I know it's an unofficial port and all, but I seem to get significantly poorer battery life on the AOSP/CM9 roms vs the rooted/debloated stock ones.
On the OnlyOne rom, I got ****ing insane battery life. Like 36+ hours with normal/heavy use. On all of the AOSP/CM9 variants (Flapjaxx/h0twir3) I'm at 50% after 5-6 hours of light use.
Am I the only one? Am I doing something wrong? On every other device I've owned (Nexus One, Nexus S, Captivate, Streak, Sensation, Fascinate...) AOSP has gotten significantly BETTER battery life. There are no obvious rogue apps that I can find, and I'm running exactly the same apps on both roms, still, CM9 variants inexplicably get poor battery life on this phone.
The only thing I've noticed is that Android System is using way more battery on CM9 vs stock roms.
Am I nuts?

Maybe I'll try that one. I'm basically just trying to see if anyone else has the issue before I go looking elsewhere to solve it.

Is that standby time? How long is the screen time?

I haven't been using stock ROMs for a while, and am now currently on AOKP JB, which is awesome. But I've recently had the need to be out of the house for an extended period of time, and i really need a ROM with good battery life.
So quick question, which GSM (or CDMA with GSM-patch) ROM gives the best battery life? I'm more inclined to think stock, and I've read that 676.226.3.en.EU gives really decent battery life. Or is there a better alternative?

Ive been using the simplex rom it has overclock and underclock scripts built in I have been on it for a few days and got 5hrs of screen on and 19hrs of power overclocked with 25% battery still left. Currently I am running underclocked to 1.0 GHZ to see how long Battery will last and sitting at 13hrs on battery and 4.5hrs screen on time and have 44% battery I think I'm doing well!!! No bugs yet either!!
SimpleX is for CDMA right? My bad, I should have specified that I was using a GSM phone.

i'm using magicmod rom, coupled with tasker to turn on 3g only when using data intensive apps like browser,youtube etc.. the rest of the time i have data enabled but 2g, and the battery only goes down about 2-3% a night, that's about 2-3% for 8 hours..
