So I have found several threads about this in other device forums but not so specifically here for our Verizon Note 2. With that said, what rom/kernel combo have you experience the best battery life with? This thread isn't not meant to say which rom or kernel is better or performance, just what you have personally tried and found to offer the best battery life overall. Thanks
Am running Stock TW with stock kernel.
I have seen 1 day and 9 hours with about 6 hours of screen time.

Trial and error gets you to the final result. Every device is different so one rom/kernel combo may not net the same result for another user. Thus, this thread is kinda pointless to me.

I'm on Eclipse running Perseus kernel now. Too early too test but its running like a beast for my particular device. Like someone mentioned, every device is different.

This thread is different since it is about battery life in general instead of combinations which have produced great battery life. However, the similarity is there- agreed.

I know this already, so that's why I do not take to much stock in it, but getting other's people's opinion of what has worked best for them is what I was curious about (it might work well for as well).

For reasons unknown to me, I always find myself going through a cycle: go back to stock locked, use the phone for a few hours then wonder why I did that, root, install multiple roms, then a few days later relock again.
My opinion bone stock is best for getting the battery life. If course I don't exactly stay put on one thing anyway. ..

Tried most and keep going back to jedi rom and saber kernel.
Very very smooth and good on battery considering I'm OC to 1920.
That said I don't care about battery with this phone, I use the hell out of it all day and charge at night. 5-6 hr screen on.
I don't miss my Nexus one bit. It was a pig and I always had spare battery and charger everywhere I went. Good riddance. .... I love this phone.

Awesome- I still am on stock just trying to get over all the intricacies of stock before I more onto something new. I'm still dumb-founded that it last aaallll day even while using it for hours often time without the need to reboot, clear memory or even change the kernel settings. Love it. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey guys just switched from a skyrocket. loving the new phone. just wondering which rom+kernal combination is the best for performance. battery life isnt a concern for me as i have an external battery charger with 2 batteries always charged. also curious if leaving the cpu clocked at 1.6 in performance governer bad for the processor.
all the roms, at this point, perform pretty well. Try one and see if you like it.
I have not even rooted my SGS2 but reading through, I've seen many posts saying UnNamed ROM and Entrophy512 DD kernel are great for performance and battery life. It retains the TouchWiz GUI though.
I've tried many different ROMs that are available right now and I have not noticed any significant performance difference (not OC'd). Maybe my idea of 'good performance' is different from others.
miui with siyah
Please do not post 'best ROM' threads as they quickly get closed and just end up cluttering the forum. There is no best ROM, only the one that works best for you. Do your homework, read up on any ROM you're interested in and then try it and see if you like it.
If you like touchwiz and the stock look UnNamed is great. If you like the look of ICS then ICScreweD is a great ROM. If you want to have an AOSP experience try CyanogenMod 7. MIUI is a whole other unique experience as well. It really depends on what you want.

Though the Touchwiz 4 launcher is closer to ICS than Cyanogenmod is.
Try them all, its pretty easy
use stock for at least one week and then try unnamed first and go around all the custom roms if you want, finally you will end up with unnamed.
important note: backup backup backup if possible copy them to PC after every backup and label them for future ref.

Pretty much, but I noticed Siyah Kernel performs better than the DD kernel. It just isn't stable for me, my phone will not wake up and I have to hold the power button to reboot. Happens once every 2 days.
I personally don't care for UnNamed but I think it's got the most theme support. I've gravitated to mainly going back and forth between CM7 and SHOstock 1.7 with most of the time spent using SHOstock.
I think you'll find you won't be able to detect much difference between the two main kernels we've all been running, Siyah and Entropy; they are both well supported by excellent developers.
But like a few others have mentioned, you need to try them for yourself and pick what makes the most sense for your daily use. Enjoy the SGS2 salad bar!
I'm a new sgs2 owner and have tried basically every rom on the first couple pages of this forum. UnNamed, ICScrewD, ICS'd Out, SHOstock, etc.
My favorite was a toss-up between ICScrewD and UnNamed. I ended up going back to stock however simply due to some wifi issues I had will just about every rom except stock.
Just do as suggested....root it, CWM it, and flash 'til you can't flash no more.
I've been getting great performance and battery life running an older MIUI rom. Haven't updated in a while, it's about 3 weeks old. By far MIUI has the best skins, so if you're after looks, MIUI is where it's at.
Every rom is different, every kernel is different and every phone is different. What works for A, B and C may not work well for X, Y and Z. You have to try them for yourself and see which combo WORKS BEST FOR YOU because nobody can tell you that but yourself.

What kind of onscreen uptime is everyone getting? not standby mixed with usage, just display on uptime ?
Right now I'm at 67% after about three and one-half hours. I will stay on and post a screenshot as I approach 0%. Wifi always on... in the meantime, my advice is: go out and buy the sgs2. It's freakin phenomenal.

Get the HTC One X!
Wait for the Galaxy S III, it's going to completely rape everything. If you can, just buy a cheap off-contract S2 on craigslist.
here ya go
This shows 100%-2% with screen a hair under 50% brightness. Keep in mind, my (stock) firmware has known battery issues. I'll be much better off after root and a couple of tweaks. If you don't have yours yet, get it now! Or, at least, take your phone and hold it in one hand and hold a sgs2 in the other. The screen blows you away and the performance will amaze, even on a carrier-crippled unit. You'll buy the sgs2, guaranteed. And then, you can mod the thing however you want.
If you wait for sgs3, you might as well wait for jelly bean, or Klondike bar or lemon merange pie, IMHO. HTC? Huh?

I really appreciate everyone replying back to me. Thanks.
I average about 4-4.5 hours of screen on time throughout the day (approx 16 hrs). I'm happy with it, some people have gotten quite a bit more with some more tweaking.
Plus we have great dev support! But yes battery is great especially on the custom Roms... Buy it all really depends if you prefer to keep your data on

btw, if the phone gets here with UCKK6, i plan to downgrade to 2.3.4, what rom would you guys recommend that is stock and has good battery life?
and yah i have alot of reading to do, aren't new phones fun
UnNamed 1.3.2 is probably the best 2.3.4 at the moment.
actually, one important question, if i downgrade to 2.3.4 using zedomax method would that effect flash counter? or should i just update to UCKH7-CL503881 <- assuming thats the latest stock att rom? Im trying to avoid UCKK6 battery drain if the phone come with that firmware.

right there with ya, man
Will be rooting soon, going with Entropy's DD and unNamed. (probably will use the kk6 one... I like the blue scroll-end much better than the bounce) Regarding method to revert to 2.3.4, I think you want this :

anyone working on a stock gb or asop rom for this device?
I use go launcher and it is a lot better than the samsung touchwiz default launcher. the other samsung touchwiz items do not bother me
That actually has nothing to do with what the thread was created for.
Give it time, people will start to develop for this phone as time passes
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I doubt anyone will bother with AOSP GB, most people seem to be waiting to do ICS roms, which is what this device should have come with anyway.
Most will be waiting to dev ics? That's honestly the most bs answer I've ever received on this site in my life. That's like saying they are going to develop yellow snow in hell but waiting for it to snow....

Assume what you will, but if I were a developer and I had any inkling that an OS update was on the horizon for the phone I'm using, I'd probably opt to not develop for an OS that will be obsolete, since it's likely that no one would even use the ROM once ICS is out.
In other words, if I were a developer, I'd wait for ICS too.

Rom devs need source code to work from.
Alot of what you see going on right now is piddly because without source code, not much can be done (based on my limited understanding of how this all works).
Not to discount the one or two roms out there now, its a good start but Samsung needs to give up the goods.

I honestly wish someone would put out a cm7 version for our notes to gives us something better than stock at least until ics comes out, not saying that saurom and tpc aren't nice and trust me I'm pretty happy with saurom rom in my note, but coming from my htc hd2 that had dozens of roms to choose from , and coming from cm9 before I got my note , kinda leaves me hoping for just a bit more rom developing that we have at the moment, if I didnt work 50+ hours a week and had kids to take care of I would take a crack at my own rom but just don't have the time for that level of development.
Hi
As the title says "How would you rate the different JB ROMs for SGSIII?"
Pros/Cons?
Which firmware is most stable at the moment? I have tried the last 6 but they keep getting worse. DLH9 was horrible.
I LOVE the Stock Samsung Camera App. Which ROMs does it work on?
A penny for your thoughts....

LI1 is by far the most stable, the others have issues, everything seems to be fine on this one
I just use AOSP ROM's, the speed and smoothness is unrivaled, it wipes the floor with normal TW ROM's, unfortunately there is still the memory leak issue but i think a solution to this will be found soon when all the necessary sources are released by Samsung, i actually don't really miss some Samsung features like i thought i would, speed,smoothness and excellent battery life does it for me and AOSP is the way to go IMO.
What camera app can compete with Samsungs own?

i would advice you to try the hypergalaxy 1.2.1 rom its small, BEST battery life so far from any rom ive used, (50% battery after 12 hours, 3 hours on screen) also its quite smooth and nimble but due to lots of bloatware being removed so you would need to download a few add-ons which is okay because they only take a few seconds! Also most of the other roms start to lag even though i clear cache and clear most ram being used a few times a day using titanium backup anways Go ahead and tell me your experience

^ LOL XD I am too. And I am sure Slaphead is too!
I have tried Android Revolution since 3.0.0. By now it has hit 8.0.0. It keeps "stuttering" and lagging for me. Gets worse as longer it is running. I did try Resurrection Remix. It was good until I got a release where it was horrible. Which prolly wasn't RR's fault.
Samsung Camera does not work on RRso that is why I switched. Also that the Samsung HX Mod didn't workas well. I have CameraZOOM Fx but it is lagging but that might be the ROMs fault. How is CZOOM Fx better? In what sense?
I am running NovaLauncher at the moment. Which makes it a little bit easier to flash and restore. But it stilla job to do with every switch of ROM. Isn't it?
welll samsung is gonna release the official JB in the "NEAR FUTURE":silly:
so im waiting for that to happen
hope its soon :fingers-crossed:

Hey all,
I've been trying out a couple of Roms running anything from Sense 5 Roms to vanilla 4.2. I've had a ton of issues with battery life, and I'm not sure if the DNA's battery is really just that bad or if there are better Roms/kernel combos out there that will make things a bit more viable. Thanks for all your help, I know this is a very subjective question.
18-24 hours battery life with 2-4 hours screen on time seems to be the norm for sense Roms running custom kernels. This exceeds the stock battery life by about 30-40%. AOSP has always yielded poor battery life, not exactly sure why. Perhaps because it wasn't designed for our hardware. Just run a ROM with a custom kernel and if you feel so inclined get an app to control your CPU. Network and GPS off when not in use will give you the most noticeable increase. Use better battery stats app to pinpoint misbehaving apps.
