Hey there guys , i would like to hear your opinions about different roms based on cm/aoPropertieshave a good battery life .
Fir the past few weeks ive been using ParanoidAndroid and lovin it cause of the Hybrid Proporties. but ... The battery upsets me . lol .
So what should i try next ?
Btw ReVolt was good but not as that great as PA.
Thanks yall .
Do not post best rom what rom threads its against the rules and will be locked .

I know best ROM thread are prohibited, but battery life is objective. We compare different phones' battery life all the time, why not compare different ROMs?
Because they always turn into pissing matches.
Battery life is subjective. I can get 15 days out of a charge, but that is because I let it sit on my desk. You get 15 hours because you are actually using your phone. (all examples are not true to the best of my knowledge )
ROMs and kernels need to be used and determined which is best for you, not me.
@OP, best to get your Nandroid on and test them for yourself.

I was just curious to what are some of the better battery saving roms out their. I have a samsung galaxay s 2 i777 and after the dreadful 2.3.6 update my phones battery dies before the end of the day (thats if i dont use it) and withing 12 hours if i use it through the day. Im looking for a flashy rom that does not take up to much battery life anything better than this 2.3.6 att update would be great. So what is your favorite battery saving rom, and why?
sorry, but this thread is going to die...
why's that, this is a general question after all.

Understood...
Unfortunately, the mods don't like people getting into spitting matches over which ROM is better. Typically they will spiral out of control.
Your best bet is to just peruse the forums and try multiple ROMs and find what is best for you.

ROMs are like girlfriends, you can pick the good looking one, but that does not mean that she wont nag. Younger is not always better.
I have been in a quest for this very thing and I can tell you that so much depends on your usage patterns, applications you install, and other stuff, that there is no perfect solutions.
Given where you are, I would go to this thread and read as much as you can. Probably the single best place to learn how to figure out the root cause and the strength/weakness of a ROM base:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
So to answer you with my personal view is that:
- I cannot use the Hellraised ROMs due to my requirement to have password
- Many have had good experience with Hellraised ROMs, so if you do not have that restriction (PIN or PW), I would try that
- So from the i777 base, the best battery life for me came from UnNamed 1.3.2 with DD kernel. I still have significant battery problems, but that gives me the best

Best simile ever!
Ya, these threads dont usually produce good wholesome conversations... it usually turns into a popularity contest and different Devs dont like to see that.
However, for battery saving, there is a good thread going on here with awesome data.

Hi,
I've met with Galaxy S2 after ICS released so I've never used GB roms. So far I've tried ParanoidDroid, D4ROM, Hydrog3n, Slim Rom, Litening Rom, Turkbey Rom and Resurrection Remix. I've fairly used them all and happy with Hydrog3n atm. My gf also bought S2 and complaining about battery life since I've never tried GB roms and don't have any technical knowladge to compare GB with ICS (I mean voltage and stuff) I ask you gentleman to recommand a rom for me. It doesn't matter if it's stock ICS or stock GB or some custom rom. I just want to get best battery life out of Galaxy S2. Since I think custom roms remove most of the unnecesery apps and stuff from stock's it has to last longer and since ICS is newer and as far as I've read from posts that the voltage values on paper are lower then GB ICS has to last longer than GB but somehow ICS consumes more battery. I just upgraded her phone to ICS stock with Siyah Kernel with battery profile but she is complaining to me that it was better before I'm very confused and couldn't decide on what to do.
Is it better to not root at all or return back to GB ? I just want to maximize the battery life.
Thanks in advance

No rom. Because there are far too many variables which determine battery life to say conclusively "Such and such rom/kernel is teh awesomz battery life man !"
Battery life depends on how you have the phone setup and how you use it. Any tweaks you might have made to kernel settings, and so on. There is no simple path to getting the best battery life possible from your phone, there are no quick fixes. It's a matter of experimenting with your phone setup & trying different roms/kernels until you find one that's good for you.
If that kind of thing doesn't enthuse you, as well as being in the wrong place, you might as well stick to stock tbh.
With all this in mind, IAmFrk was quite right to refer you to the forum policy of not asking for rom/kernel recommendations. There have been hundreds of these threads in the past, you should do a search & see what people recommended in those rather than start another thread.
No no you guys understood my q wrong. I'm asking if GB is better in terms of battery than ICS and not rooting the phone is a better option than rooting or not. I'm not asking any roms or kernels since I don't need any recommendation on that for myself since I've been trying diffrent roms and kernels in that matter. I just want technical information for the stuff as I mentioned above not rom or kernel. The difference between GB and ICS, stock phone and rooted phone. Does rooting a good thing or not ofc I've read tweak battery life related posts before asking mine but couldn't find any info comparing my needs.
And I'm asking this since I upgraded her phone and didn't do anything else she is using the same settings as she did in GB but her battery lasts less. That's why I'm questioning the GB and ICS, with the same settings which one will last longer ?
But it isn't as simple as 'GB is better in terms of battery than ICS'.
Some people on here (who help a lot of people in Q&A and whose opinions I really respect a lot) say GB is better, ICS is buggy & they've had crap battery life from the roms they've tried. For me, I get the best battery life I've ever had with CM9. Why ? Because I've put in the time/effort to tweak my setup to make it that way. My point is if you ask 100 people on XDA that question, you'll get different answers to the question depending on the person.
So far as rooting/not rooting concerned, again, nothing to do with battery life per se. What rooting does is give you control over your phone, and can (it can also enable you to make your battery life/phone performance a whole lot worse) enable you to run kernels (and tweak those kernels), and enable you to set your phone up to possibly give you better battery life .
Given it's your GF's phone & I presume you want it to work well 100% of the time with no glitches (because you'll probably end up playing tech support, which from experience I know is a pain in the arse), leave it on stock.
On the other hand if you like a challenge, I've given you plenty to think about in my two posts. Every bit of info you could possibly need to tweak your phone is on XDA. It's just a matter of searching, reading, learning & then using that info to make a setup that gives you what you want.

I totally agree with you I'm very happy with my rom also coz I'm tweaking kernel and also manually disabling stuff by myself but It's not possible for me to do that to my gf coz I'll have to act as tech support and I'm always checking if there is anything on wake while the screen is off and act accordingly to it, I can't do this on her phone.
So as you mentioned I'm not asking this formyself nor asking a rom reccomendetion but as you said I think I'm gonna install stock GB and do the necessary settings for her and leave it.
Thanks for your replies much appreciated.

Best ROM is the one that works best for you. There are too many variables. Try a few out and make your own decision.
as the title says, whats the batterylife of probam? im currently using CHRONOS Rom v1.5 - GMega Edition and got a battery life of 8-12h which i think is pretty bad, i love the fact that i am running 240dpi tho, but i miss the feature of changing per app dpi, which i don't know how to implement by my self since im not an expert with modding.
in case the battery life of probam is 8-12h or worse, please recommend a better rom if possible. I would like to have battery life of at least 16-24 hours with regular use of battery life and ability to change per app dpi the android version doesn't matter.
Thanks

It wasn't intended to be a "what rom post" i have read the whole rom thread already and it doesnt say anything about what it is, only how to extend it but thats not my question. And again whats the battery life? I originaly posted in the rom thread but didn't get an answere... sorry for my bad english.
Stock roms have better battery life than CM fact .
Battery life varies between users fact .
You can try all roms all kernels yourself not a problem with Nandroid .
please recommend a better rom if possible
By any definition that is a what rom best rom question .
Hi guys.
I'm using SGS2.Could you tell me which Rom or Kernel offers best battery life for this device? I installed tons of rom and i not sure about which is the best.I only asking for 2.5 or 3 hours screen time i newer saw that time on this device.Anyway im waiting for the answer and your notion. And finaly my english is not well i hope i can tell my problem,good days
There's no such thing. The two biggest factors which determine battery life are phone setup & usage. If you're not on top of those two things, makes no difference what kernel or rom you run (rom has almost nothing to do with it).
The only way to get great battery life is to tweak, test & experiment. There are 'shortcuts'; there is a multitude of threads on here with suggestions you can try & see how they work for you.
But there's no magic way to achieve great battery life.
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion, and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.

Guys I have rooted my s3 since I didnt even putted sim in it.
I have flashed many custom roms and kernel.
some are good and some are very laggy and slow.
Also the performance and battery life on some custom rom and kernel are not very good.
I want someone to guide me with a perfect combination of custom ROM and Custom Kernel which has great performance and very good battery life.
Now I am using custom rom s5 sensation v4.0 with boeffla kernel 6.0.
Till now its working good and battery life is also decent.
As I stated up I want a perfect combination so that I can get very good free ram , battery life and performance.
Best Rom requests are against xda posting rules, as they can cause bad feeling. Try them yourself, there is no perfect combination only what is best for each individual.
