I'm getting really bad battery life on cm9
Any suggestion for a battery friendly rom?
every rom runs differently on each phone so its hard to recomend one. have you tried a different kernel for cm9. change the govenors, io shedules, undervolt or underclock. also depends on your usage and apps installed. cm9 as a base should give you good battery life.
Can't say that there is a "Best" anything. As stated above roms have different outcomes depending on the phone. I am running Gubment Cheeze Build B1.1. I have had great battery life out of it. Extremely great life during sleep. I am hooked to wifi about 22 hours a day. I use bluetooth about 2 hours a day. I do not oc/uv .. or change anything about it... use it like it is right out of the box. If you want to try it .. I am sure you will like it.

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

Hi guys, as title say, i want to know wich kernel is better for battery life..
I´m on Unlimited ROM, by mv style, wich is really awesome. I´m using Mesa Kernel, but i read that Panic Kernel is good for battery life too.. And performance is also good. So.. wich kernel do you suggest me? Is Panic Kernel more battery friendly than Mesa?
Thanks
My Phone is a Mini Pro
I have never used MESA kernel so I can't compare the two
But kernel PANIC has good battery life... Better than rage and Kamarush v3 (no offense) (just my observations)

Get battery monitor widget from market and test those kernels yourself.
It's better to yee for yourself then to blindly trust
It's easy to do, flash kernel a and leave the phone in standby during the night. In the mornign look at the battery consumption graph in BMW.
Then you take kernel b and do the same with it.
Just be sure to use the same min frequency and same governor.
EDiT:
A ROM also influences battery life. So let's say that for user B MESA has excellent batt life, for user A it might be bad.
That's why it's better to test and see for yourself

That's true....
Personally i try and aim to use a 'lite' rom + panic kernal if possible ....
But most phones give about 1 day worth of work. There are few that exceed that (ultimate? rom by mv_style)
Kernel panic has good battery life

I prefer kernel panic...in every way
Hi guys,
I've been using many kernels now, Siyah, Franco, Yank.555, NEAK. Etc. But They all used up my battery like crazy! lost 8 % in 20m thats not good, Mind that i wasn't doing anything, it was just on screen lock. Now i've read that media scanner could be in wakelock to use so much battery but how do i see this? And my main question is, what is the best kernel for battery use but balanced with stock performance? I've heard phenomenal would be good, but i rather ask before installing another kernel by now.
I'm running sotmax ultimate stock v14 for gt-19300XXELLA jelly bean 4.1.2
Thanks in advance
It's against the rules to ask that
Why don't you try stock kernel? I have a good battery life. Try to close all battery-sucking apps like Facebook,Istagram and stuff like that.
I don't exactly think it's up to the kernel to save battery life. I'm using siyah, but, to give you an example, its battery saving features are undervolting. Meaning you can either make it have top performance, or set it to the highest battery saving setting.
Best kernel, best rom, and hottest chick in the world threads are not allowed as they are all subjective

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best ROM/kernels for battery life. I switched from MeanBean recently to some CM10 (DU) and CM11 (carbon) based stuff, and my battery life has been pretty bad. Sometimes near 20%/hr. Could always go back to Mikey's ROM, but I wanted to play around with stuff like HALO while still having enough juice to use it as a daily driver.
So I just unlocked the bootloader of my one-week-old Poco F1, flashed LineageOS 16, and everything has been smooth sailing so far. Now, I want to flash a custom kernel. What can you recommend for a good balance of battery life and performance? I'm not really keen on tweaking parameters so I want a flash-and-forget-it solution. Thanks in advance.
Sphinx works best for miui and lineage.
Franco is also up there
Canting kernel. At first I was flashing a different kernel daily. I found Canting and have been on it for nearly a week. Super stable. Not 1 random reboot or freeze and it also has vibration control, sound control, display control, Klaspe and just about everything else

Sphinx Kernel is a good all-rounder, if you want a 'leaner' kernel go for Simple Kernel. As for performance, I've heard quite some praise from Malakas Kernel but I can't guarantee anything. An honorable mention would be Canting Kernel.

Arter97 kernel is good for balanced performance and battery life and its very smooth
Sphinx Kernel

Yes. 3x each test averaged with unthermal to rule out throttling.

Awesome! What do you personally recommend for the best balance of battery life and performance without tweaking? How about pure battery life?

I use lineage stock and have been getting ~8 hours SOT with light usage, over 48 hours between charge. The gains/losses in performance and battery life between kernels were negligible for me in real world usage and sticking with stock is just one less thing for me to worry about when updating.

Yep, might as well stick with stock I guess. The development done into these kernels is very active that some even update every day. I think it's too much of a hassle to me to flash a newer version daily.
I also like to believe that wiping cache frequently, which is a prerequisite in flashing, hurts battery life, because the phone doesn't get to compile it and as a result, keeps on running background processes to rebuild it every time you do so. What do you think?
Go for FK. 8 hours sot while playing PoGo non stop on 4g. Very good performance and non heating issues so far.
Just wanted to update this post based on my findings:
Franco: Awesome battery life, though the device essentially becomes gimped. I'm not a fan of underclocking.
Malakas: Best performance by far, and also pretty good battery life. A bit unstable, though.
Sphinx: A good balance between performance and battery life, though idle drain is a bit high. Will test a bit more.
Not willing to test arter's since it's SELinux Permissive.

I'm running Evolution-X with the Optimus Drunk Kernel. I have the NVT panel version of the Pocofone and my experience has been excellent. I also service a FTS panel version of the Pocofone, that had the freezing problem, and the Optimus Drunk Kernel really helped turn the phone from a freezing/frustrating nightmare and a similar experience to the NVT panel version. I recommend both the Evolution-X ROM and the kernel. Currently, the default kernel on the ROM is the DERP kernel, which is also good.
Nowadays I just stick with the stock kernel
