Hey guys I haven't been in this forum for a long time since I got my gs2. My vibrant currently has an ice based cm rom and the battery is atrocious. My wifes mybtouch 4g just took a dump and she wants to use this phone. What current Rom is known for the best battery life? Please advise... I don't care or its Gb either.

You could install the SlimBean rom, with the Semaphore kernel settings you can underclock it to 800mhz and change the profile to 'conservative'. Enable the toggles for data and gps, then tell her to disable them when not needed. With this rom you'll need to install the addons and set the dpi to 240dpi for the Play Store to work correctly.

With my config above and a fresh battery it should last till the next day. There is always the concern with the potential '911' bug with these newer roms ofcourse. I think even if its stock roms, its mainly down to managing screen brightness, data, gps, and apps from autostarting.

Hi everyone. I want start this topic to discute about some tweaks to do on cm7.
-More battery
-Stability fixes
-Update/Add Apps
-Others
What you think about?

Hi..
I think that it would be important to report the battery duration, much of all.. It would be useful, IMO, to create a default test to make with our phone.. For example: XX min of wifi navigation, XX min with 3g only and same with 2g.. and going on by this way
I think that souch a test, once reached a lot of results, could be very useful for all of us and for CM7 programmers..
What do you think about???
Inviato dal mio GT-I5500 usando Tapatalk
I think you're right. But first we need to know why cm7 uses more battery, i don't thing developers can modify cm7, they are busy with Cyanogenmod9. So if we know why cm7 uses more battery, we can try to fix it. But who can tell that to us? Develovepers i think. Now i send a pm to ketut.
I think that can help we. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292200
I wait for a stable version. Realy interesting.
Anyway who can help we peales post here!!
Nobody can help??

I´m using ICS by jusada and LagFree V1 by slaidmod and my Ace runs like hell with an unbelieveable batterylife of 48h at normal usage (gaming, texting and calling, maybe take pictures). Never lags and never restarts (very stable).
Running the same setup and MT battery life is amazing. Ill easily make it through a whole day with above normal use.
I'm using the infinity rom and the battery lasts an average of 72 hours, but i'm not an usual user, a little foursquare, imo for chat, Some gmail reading, and thats it, no fancy gaming or heavy data usage

I'm using CM 7.2 RC0 and my battery can't handle more than 18 hours, I listen to music, play some videos, my 3G is always on because I need to use with my gmail, at home I use wifi and other things like browser, foursquare, netflix, whatsapp and sms. Wish I had a better battery life :/ I need to keep the USB cable always with me.
This is my battery usage screen.
Runnnig ICS final with SlainFastMod 2.5 and JuiceDefender.
I found that LagFree V1 script is draining battery faster than SLainFastMod 2.5.

I think u dint use ur phone much anyway... I see ur voice call duration is more than display!! Means u dint use the phone much.. The avg battery life of cm7 is around 11-12 hrs with mod usage with net and all.. To increase the battery life u need to replace the launcher, some apps... I replaced the apps and did some tweaks in build.prop.. Not much improvement, but still system was fast...

I recently updated to ICS on my Live with Walkman. I also rooted it and installed CWM. But lately i have been noticing the battery drains faster, than it did with gingerbread. Anyone else is having this problem? I'm using Apex Launcher too. But I try using stock and its the same problem.

Taskkillers make the drain worse.
And yes, drain is a bit higher because ICS is a lot heavier so it needs more juice to work.
dont know if compared to gb because i've only use stock gb for a hour or so but compared to other ics rom like miui, minicm and cm9, stock ics combined with kamarush kernel gave me awesome battery life. 0.5-1% drain per hour on idle.

This is somehting I have experienced personally, but I haven't found out why it happens yet. It's a little OT, but could you explain in brief why killing an app often reduces available RAM?

the app has to start all the stuff it does all over again because it was unexpectedly closed. the unused app is closing itself anyway just when it isn't needed anymore and when it fully performed the task.

If you close an specific app, then some amount of RAM is freed. Temporarily. Certain apps start again, because they are needed by the system. The startup of the app requires more power than closing, finally you are losing more power.
Doesn't matter what electronic device you have, starting it up uses most energy. Your computer, phone, lamps, microwave - everything!

can you tell me wich rom is better? i have never installed one, but im thinking about it, can you please tell me more about this stuff? i mean if you can tell me or give the link to know how to install kamarush kernel and another rom, like CM9 (with ICS?
no battery drain for me
and im using it like this
1-1,5hour listening to music
30min 3g
1-1,5hour wi-fi
1hour playing game
holding for 12 hours and still on 30% battery
mine was good
i use 2x batt n android booster from market
I use my lww ics the same way like on gb. On gb I was on stock rom with rage kernel 2.8. Now I am on ics with extended stock rom kernel from expeacer.
Through my feelings I would say battery live is the same as on gb. For exactly clearing it out we must compare with the help of a monitoring software.
So my conclusion is no change in battery life between ics and gb.

Updated yesterday and I've noticed my battery is draining faster after a day of normal use. But i think that is mainly to the fact that i haven't figured out how to root ICS and still have all that bloatware running around sucking my battery!

360 Launcher? I used GO Launcher when I was on GB, but I found a better launcher for ICS. It's Apex Launcher, you can search for it on Google Play Store, I really recommend this launcher, its great!

I have great battery life with that ROM, but I'm running Trinity kernel. I'd suggest trying a custom kernel like Trinity or KTmanta.

Here's the thread for Trinity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083885

While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.
Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?
Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.
I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

CleanROM with stock Kernel has great battery life on mine.
Nope everything working fine, but i cant seem to get this to work. Ill try the KTmanta kernel and post back.
Alright so i got the KTmanta kernel to work, so i guess the trinity one doesnt work with mine? Now how can i see how much of a battery improvement this made? Is there an app or something? Thanks guys
Kernel and app in the first link, premade settings in the second link if you want them. Settings get placed in the tweaking apps' folder and loaded from within the app itself

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40087947&postcount=2741
What does that app do specifically?
Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings
All i really need is better battery life lol
Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance
Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?
I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?

Hello,
did you try a Fullwipe with Philz Touch Recovery? Just to make sure your device itself is not faulty, did you also experience this problem with a 100% Stock ROM ? I´ve never experienced any heat problems with Boeffla or Yank kernel ( only when using the Siyah kernel a long time ago ).
I can suggest you to try a fullwipe and install the ROM again. Just in case you have installed some malicous Apps, you can also try to track them down with BBS ?

As others already suggested, install a CPU monitoring App that will show what App uses your CPU the most. A lot of heat is always a indication that something is using a lot of your CPU Power. I had a problem like that also and I could easily fix it by looking at what uses my CPU.
I'm very new to the custom rom scene. I recently used the CM installer to install CM 10.2 to my i9300. I experienced terrible battery life, even worse than touchwiz 4.1.2, with CM 10.2 stock kernel. I installed the Googy-Max kernel, which greatly improved standby, but screen on is a little bit worse. My battery usage is not normal. Attached are 2 screenshots. Any ideas? (I've got the stock 2100mah battery by the way)
