I'm on Eclipse and it has GREAT battery life. I can last through the day on 1 charge.
Does CM7 have a good battery life? I'm thinking of changing it up a bit, since I'm always on Eclipse.
Its always a bit subjective to the user, but I have been on CM7 for a few weeks now and feel as though I am getting better battery life than I did on Eclipse. Actually if I was just to break it down between blur based ROMs and Cyanogenmod ROMs, Cyanogenmod always seems to be better in this aspect. CM7 and CM10 had excellent battery life for me. Liberty and Eclipse, while good blur based ROMs, both had not so good battery life.
Honestly I can get about 1 day and 3 hours on Eclipse 2.3 but when I flashed CM7 for the first time, my battery drained within 8 hours!!!! After I let it settle for a week and re-calibrated the battery, it lasted for about 19 hours ha still not good enough for me but it also depends on how much you use your phone. I was a heavy gamer and I had to narrow it down I am now running MIUI 2.8.10v and would never look back:laugh:

Which GB ROM has the best battery life?
For me chingys GB isn't working for me. Battery is not good. I've Bennett giving it a try but I can't get good battery life :/ I have an extended battery. In one hour I lost 10% with no data on no sync pretty much just have the bars going didn't touch it and I loose 10% in one hour.
I love this rom. Battery life is not awesome. (Sorry if not enough details )
Which GB ROM has the best battery life?
Everyone experiences different results with different roms. For example, I'm running BAMf Remix 2.0-6, I also have the extended battery, and I just got about 35 hours out of my phone with imo 3.0.1 lean kernel, 245/1228.
So i have a filename. I love minuit and all the features/customization, but the battery life is killing me BC i work long hours outside. So my question is, shud i just deal or downgrade back to my wonderful battery life from Froyo?

Looking at my previous ROMs on my Vibrant, I have resorted back to Battery Life. Yes, the extra tweaks and pretty customization are very eye candy but in the long run, you want a phone to be a phone that can last you whenever you need it when you go out for a long night or for a mini trip. I feel it's pointless for a pretty arse phone that can only last you a few hours. It's only good for the show. For me, I found a middle ground of battery life and customizables with Toxic8.
From the past, my best battery life comes out from Bi-Winning, then Bionix, then Toxic8, and then the GingerBread ROMs and then CM7.
Kudos to Toxic 8. It looks amazing and it has a good battery life!
You can also try Trigger3.2. I tried it and personally have found it to have better battery life than Bionix. However it's all preference.
Try Trigger3.2/Toxic8/Bionix with bali and see which one works for you!
I've tried them all and Biwinning and Bionix give you the best life and stability (along with a Bali or Immortality kernel)
Toxic8 also rocks with its themes (geared towards young people) but at it's current latest state, the GPS warms up the battery and kills the battery life.
The rest of the ROMS you have to play with and see what you like. The battery life is most important to me and the ROMS mentioned above are fast and stable. I don't need more until an official GB leak is released for the Vibrant.
Im currently looking for the best combination of Sense ROM, kernel, and/or scripts/apps/mods for battery life. Ive used stock ROM, viperROM, Infected, and Android Revolution HD. Ive only ever used the stock kernel or whatever was included with the ROM.
All results have been the same, with what id consider moderate usage im finding battery life to be ok at best. Getting about 14-18 hours battery life.
Ive seen some screenshots of people getting 24+ hours with similar or more usage.
Any help or recommendations would be great. Thanks
Cleanrom has been working well and has good battery life. Yesterday I got almost more than a days worth of battery but that was in minimal use.
It's that time of the year again that I feel that I need to do something with my Vibrant or I'll feel bored with my fun, so I want to know what the best ROM is in terms of performance and most importantly battery. Battery is everything to me as I'm out of the house or near a port for the whole day, everyday. I was leaning towards the CM7 ROM, but I heard that mod outputs poor battery life.
Any ROMs?
With CM7, you'll get about 13-14 hours of battery life.
Hm.. what ROM are you running now?
I use MIUI Lithium and i've been getting around 25-30 hours of battery life with medium usage. This rom has been super super super stable for me and GPS works too.
Which rom gives the best battery life currently i am on stock 2.3.4 its battery life is wore charge drop from 100% to 60-50% in just few minutes and i would also like to know that why my internal memory was showing only 1.97gb total space when i unlocked the boootloader and installed CM7 ICS.
Now I have flashed the Stock sbf with rsd so i will have re unlock the bootloader which unlocking method i should follow bcoz the last the time i unlocked the phone i was facing some problem like
1 .No boot screen only text screen which was showing os will start in 5 sec and with other options.
2 .The model number changed from ME860 to MB860.
3. Total internal memory in CM ICS was showing only 1.97gb.
with normal use (texting, phone, small amount of games) in CM7 I get about a day. no mods, just the radio in the OP. With alien normal use I get around a 30-36 hours. Heavy use drops down to about 10 hours or so CM7 and 12-15 alien. the 1.97 is normal on CM7. not sure about the rest
my battery life on CM7 (both nightly 20 and ba2tf) is the best ever.
I have tried all of the roms and they all have descent battery life, but the stable CM7 is the best one for me. compared to other blur roms, it's by far the best. I can have my cellphone with 80% + battery life at the end of the day with minimal usage. With some moderate usage (texting and browsing mainly) I sometimes have around 50% charge at the end of the day. even while giving my phone a LOT of usage, I have never had battery problems while running those roms.
sometimes I don't even charge my phone if I only had some minimal usage through the day.

I agree: cm7 is the best. I have the last weekly from CM7 and have a battery live of 72h with minimal or 48h with normal usage.
Interesting... For awhile the wife was running CM7 at stock speeds and i was running DarkSide at 1500MHz. Even with a 50% overclock I consistently had better battery life compared to her, both using our phones about equally as often. When I get the time I'll be doing a more thorough evaluation between our phones with proper battery calibration, etc.
