Which ICS ROM and kernel combination is best for good battery backup.
I have tried CM9 with FXP 127 kernel but the battery backup was not good.
Please suggest some ROM.
I am using Live with walkman (Wt19i)
Thanks in advance

Battery Backup Help
Any suggestion for battery backup please, I have Xperia Mini Pro SK17i ICS 4.0.4, since, i updated to ICS i'm experiencing very low battery backup, any suggestion and help will be really appreciated.
I have wt19i aka LWW as well. I used ICS and for battery life it was horrible, though I liked it. Anyway, I searched many forums and they recommend SonyDroid. I just installed that and it appears to be fine, though still have no idea about the battery. Here is the page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626455
The problem is that the walkman button does not work. In fact you have to install a zip to get Xperia player as a workaround to this problem. The DEV says version 7 will be around soon which hopefully fix this problem.

ICS stock ROM has an battery life issue..
Solution: Unlock BL(at your own risk ofcourse), then flash a custom Kernel like KRsH kernel or FXP 132 Kernel.. these kernels give better battery life as compared to stock kernel..
Further, you can more enhance the battery life using No-frills CPU Control (Google Play).. the recommended governor and I/O schedular IMO is SmartassV2 or Interactive and Sio repectively..

I personally will never for ICS again. It is not at least optimized for my LWW. Even custom ROMs could not help.

Just wondering do kernels make a difference on battery life at all.I find dooms and th japs very similar with battery life.just want to know if someone has tried many kernels for stock based Rom and what they find best.I don't care about overclocking as it causes random reboots imo

Sent from my X10S using xda premium
I think, the difference betweeen the kernels availible for download is not directly related to battery consumption, it is just a matter of features. Some of them are overclocked or undervolted.
As far as I know, it is the choosen governor that makes difference on battery level.
For example :
- Performance governor does set the CPU frequency to the highest one configured
- OnDemande governor increases the frequency regularly until it hits the needed one
... and so on. You can read more here and here.
On my phone I use SmartassV2 because I don't want lags but I care a little bit for the battery, maybe I am wrong. If I am, can someone correct me
Same here really not sure why it fcs there but never mind

Hi guys, I have been expirimenting with many custom ics roms and some are really nice. I especially liked MIUI, but it had some problems like root permission not working for all apps, and other stuff. So I am looking for something that reaches the best in quality of use.

I used Real ICS Lite 3 and I liked it quite a bit, but it was quite heavy and slow. I will give version 4 a go and tell you.
As for CM9 there are things that shouldn't be there, like bad preview on camera, no hd recording on video.

I don't like SONY ICS at all period. I have used .431..587,cm9,real ICS,minicmsandwich. All of these are slow and freezes a lot. Battery life has also gone downhill. Not to mention problems with games. I am currently using official .69 fb firmware with my LWW and I couldn't be much happier.

If you want a fast, lagless, not resource hungry ROM, then switch to GB. ICS is damn heavy. I used it for a couple of month, then reverted to GB again.
Try something like Spartan ROM, flush78, LEWA OS is pretty fast (based onCM7.2 though)
Every ICS ROM is going to be heavy in my opinion....
Or just wait fo a stable JB ROM...
real ics r4 and Krsh /mesa/raga kernel(its your choice)... i find it the most stable and fastest rom till now in term of ICS.. also the dialer respond is better than the stock one and you will get a lot of internal memory..just give it a try..
I have tried Real ICS Lite r4, and I must say it's a big improvement from r3. I am satisfied with it till now and I will keep it for the time being. !!!
I've found smultronic the best amongst ICS ROMs. Paired with mesa/krish kernel you can't go wrong. If you want a leaner, faster ROM, downgrade to gb.

Exactly what i wanted to say.Wait for a stable JB, till then use one of spartan or flush78, or you can modify your stock rom, that's what i did.Uninstall apps install scripts and modify the look of your rom.Then you'll have your rom exactly the way you like it, plus learn some things
P.S. GB and rage kernel = very stable
I'm thinking too of reverting back to GB.
I have the feeling that it was faster, smoother and less battery consumption.
However what about ICS new Feauture of better GPU overall perfomance, not that I play any games at all but i'm just saying..
Anyway I'm thinking of HaSa HyperbeamNewEdition rom ,,!
What do you guys think?
I don't want preety, I WANT STABLE, i don't mind even if the Boot Animation is a gay couple kissing, or Bieber, (preety much the same), i just want to open my phone and see everything working fast, stable , smooth and bug free.
* I can always go back to my Nokia N95 8Gb.. At least i could operate it even when my hands were swetty.. And everything were working ****ING AWESOME
****ing crappy SE phones + ****ing crappy Android OS.
best ics rom - real ics lite r4
best gb rom - either a tweaked stock rom or a hyperbeam cream.
Hey Guys ...
Ive tested each of the following ROMs for smoothness , speed , battery life , and bugs(if any) on my mango (mini pro)
i use my fone mostly for browsing, watching videos, messaging, using facebook, whatsapp, viber, skype etc at the same time... i dont play games at all!
Ive used MESA Kernel cos it gives better Battery life so ive started testing with that
ive used smartass v2 governor, and noop i/o scheduler... max freq- 1.018 and min freq- 134.
please press thanks on the individual review post if you think it accurately describes the ROM, that way we can judge the accuracy of the reviews. if your experience with the ROM was any different, please write about it and i will be more careful while testing any future updates.

rage kernel suits with all
XMP rules!!!
in my test:
MESA Kernel: slow boot in XMP (about 1-2 minutes in sony ericsson logo), but is the only problem (i use it actually, for me is the best battery saver with good performance)
Rage kernel: if you dont like slow boot or other bugs is your best option
Kernel Panic: works well, has KSM (i dont see any diference in ram use) and other unique features, but... it has CWM 6 and is buggy (especially with aroma installers and usb mount) and applications like cpu spy doesnt work properly :S
Extended Stock kernel: is the same as stock kernel...

im gonna try MESA coz i really need battery life ! ill see whether the bugs are bearable .. otherwise ill switch to Rage !

Real ICS Lite r4 reviewed
ok so m done using real ICS lite r4
it is a very smooth and fast ROM ! noticed very very few lags n stutters. its always lags a little when u move really fast in the gallery. but no1 really moves that fast so that dosent matter.. also sometimes the icons on the widget take a sec to load when u press the home button .. they load up quite fast so its not that irritating. but if u hav too many widgets it myt take a lil more tym i guess. din find any major bugs ...usb otg works fine. this is faster than the AOSP ROM i was using earlier!!
the ROM has a the Xperia launcher with corners and it looks really good (though we cant see the corners in landscape).. its fast and responsive. notification panel has quick seetings and a brightnes slider too. u can choose to install sony apps while flashing through aroma installer (very noob friendly). though i wish
the details of each option were mentioned in the ROMS post so that i kno what im choosing (screenshots).. for example if i knew that the walkman bootanimation had sound along with it i woudnt have chosen it,..
charged the phone to 100% and didnt touch it from 11pm to 5 am .. and the batter came down to 94% ...thats 1% per hour. but on moderate usage through out the day the battery gave up at 7 30 pm ...
on the 2nd day of testin battery lasted from 9 30 pm to 3 30 pm the next day...fone was connected to wifi 65% of the time and on 2g for the rest
the battery life is pretty good i guess... can only say after i chek the other ROMs out as well
i just tested temple run n it runs super smooth with no lag at all...
quadrant : 1429
antutu : 3491
U can test out the ROM urself and dont forget to thank the developer kobzar666 !

How about rooting your Android phone? you can choose CynogenMod, best available so far. When you ask about battery life there some that you should considered first.
1. What are the Apps that sucking most of your battery life.
2. Some Apps has tendency to run on background and connect to internet every time, such Apps prone to suck most of your battery life. if you have such Apps installed, are they really necessary? if not then quickly uninstall it. I will give you better battery life.
If you planning to custom rom, you may end up with some compromise, search and find that those compromise are really compromise? is not they rush for custom rom and I suggest CynogenMod.
If you find my information is helpful, a thank will be appreciate. :good:

Well the xperia pureness rom by Sand7 is pretty fast and
battery conserving. Most of the time I get around 170 to 180 MB of free ram.
Also if you are interested you can try the JB PACman rom by AllenHu. Only the youtube bug and accelerometer bug exist. And it is pretty fast and it also conserves the battery. And I mosty have around 190 MB of free ram always.

Serenity and Octane are the fastest ICS Roms at this moment. Both are battery efficient, depending on what kernel you using
They are also more or less bugfree.
This is battery life on Serenity, Octane has around the same. This is with kernelpanic 1.25, governor is ondemand, since I find smartassv2 laggy. Think you can get even a bit more battery life with Rage or Mess, but you lose on performance with those.
