At this moment I'm using the stock ROM... I don't know if the customized ones are still 100% to be our first...

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.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Custom ROMs that are just as good as VillainROM if not better as I've been having problems with it since I first started playing with it a few months back, the most notorious of which has been the battery draining within a couple of hours of fully charging it up!
Criskelo is the rom.you should try and stay with.
Its perfection beyond perfection.

What's it like, battery-wise? The reason why I ask is that hopefully if I try this and it'll fix my modem problem, the battery won't drain without me having to carry a spare in case of emergency...

+1 on this, it's an excellent ROM.
Great battery life and you can leave it stock looking or you can modify it with themes and even more customisable ROMs (surgeons).
HyperDroid just release an update or you can try Foxhound 2.6
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hyperdroid is the way to go
I tried Foxhound and it's not bad but I don't like the fact that it takes an age to load up the start screens plus the pages for the Apps aren't numbered at the bottom... (I know I'm nitpicking but it's just one of those things that annoys me) So I'll be trying out the others tonight along with the Battery Calibration App that was mentioned in the Foxhound 2.6 thread as well.
MIUI or cyanogenmod. Try both and see what you like more.

Hi guys...
I recently install the cm9 4/4 rom
And its amazing! So far I dident get any bugs..
But I do have one problem, the battery is so weak.. Like every six hours I need to rechargh it.
So what I wanted to know is what karnel that supperts the cm9 well will give me better battery results?
Thnx alot!

I peronally like cm9 stock kernel best, better check what services/apps are running in the background that consume much power!
I'm using the original karnel that I got with my sgs2..
Is there a stock Room for the cm9?
Can you give me a link please?

I did allot of research , its just the English is bit hard for me...
Now for my question... Its there or isn't a karnel thats supperts the cm9 perfectly and will improve the battery results?
Thnx

Mate battery life won't magically improve by flashing an alternate kernel / ROM. There are tons of reasons which may affect battery life on a ROM, and you must first determine what that is before you move on and experiment. Before moving onto a new kernel, determine what is causing battery drain using apps like CPU Spy (Can determine if your phone is entering deep sleep or not) and BetterBatteryStats (Can determine kernel wakelocks which prevent the phone from going into deep sleep). Also, what is your usage pattern? On extremely heavy usage patterns, 6-8 hours is below par, but not unbelievable.
Unfortunately I would agree with mattisfaction at this point of time. Stock ROM for CM9? When you install CM9, you get the CM9 Stock kernel. Not what came with your phone.
Well...
I see I got much more to learn :-/
Well thnx anyway, ill come back after some more research =)

Stock rom's battery life is not as good as oxygen's
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
every latest ROM will give you almost the same battery backup, the difference could only be upto 3-5% so, in my opinion, you can use any ROM but you should be smart enough to use your phone properly, If you are gaming all the time, then your battery won't last more than a few hrs..
I would recommend hephappy's prereleases, with data and sync only through 2G and light use - reduced backlight, couple of SMS, few calls, short web browsing (check twitter, find some public transport connection,...) - i got nearly three days of battery life.
But when you are on 3G, heavily browsing or playing games all the time you can't expect any rom to last more than day (to be more specific from morning to evening).

All ROM have good battery backup... but you feel they don't like that because of your usage....
So do not post the question like this!
IMO stock based ROMs such as Oxygen etc... does have better battery backup than CM7 ROMs

True I have same battery drain (~2% per night) on all ROMs... people with lots of apps or data on at all times should NEVER give an opinion on battery life... you may get a signal from an app, randomly, and cause system to be totally random on battery...

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.

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

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.
Hey there guyz,just wondering,does JB consume the most battery life between ICS and GB?Is it because of its performance?Do u recommend people in XDA to choose GB roms for great battery life and JB roms for extreme performance?Pls guyz,give your opinions Thank you :thumbup:

I think you must try to make your personal opinion my opinion is that i dont care how much it consumes because screen is no 1 in consumption

The rule on the Galaxy S2 forum is that you are not allowed to ask which ROM's are better, which is basically what your thread is asking. This is not allowed as everyone's opinion of a ROM is different, and what performs well for one person may not perform well for you. You must try these ROM's yourself, with different kernels for better performance and battery life to find the optimum setup for you. Sorry but that's the way it is.

Actually if you ask for consumption. I think ics is way more superior in saving battery than JB. There are so many reasons for that. Check the change log on wikipedia you ll come to know. Screen causes more drain on JB. Im also agree with the person who first answered your question.

I've personally noticed I can't get as good battery life with JB as with ICS. I use the same settings, and the same apps, but ICS seems better for me.
On the other hand: some people got great battery life with JB, so I also would recommend to try both versions to compare. Performance-wise (and the wonderfull features), JB is the best
Our official jb came with the biggest battery drainer .
Is the media scanner .
On gb or ics we didn't came across this bug cause it could be fixed .

Here's a question:Back in ICS XWLS8,its firmware was 717MB and its battery was superb.But now in most rom in ICS and JB,its 300MB+ and battery is .With a huge amount of 400MB difference,how does the battery resist for long hours?

I'm on JellyBam 7.8.0,Android 4.2.2 JB,and I can get up to 2 days of battery.(My WI-FI is nearly always on,and I use it for games,like Plants vs Zombies.So I could say battery is pretty good,through I think back in October,(when I got my phone,It was on ICS 4.0.3),the battery was a bit better.But still...not bad
Mine sucks with wifi on, I gotta get into that asap.

Yeah,so GB is considered to consume the least battery while JB consume a bit more battery than ICS.I guess sticking to ICS is rather fine for me
