Hi everyone!
as i can not post in the development forums and since this is a more general question about slimbean i post it here.
i ran with slimbean 4.2 then i went to 5.0 going to 6.2 when it was released and back to 6.0.
edit: forgot to mention, i have a sgs2 I9100
The thing is:
with all version up to 6.0 with my usual daily usage lasts around 3,5 days without recharging. the average lies between 3-4 days which is quite nice (all with stock slimbean kernel).
My problem was when going to 6.2 with its new kernel that the average time before i need to recharge with the same usage pattern and apps (i just reinstalled all apps i had before and did not change my usage behaviour) went down to around 2 days. Which was quite annoying because i was not used to recharge at least every second night, which left me with my phone without power quite often.
What i really want to know is, with the new build 7, how is the runtime compared to 6.2 or better, compared to build 6.0?
I can try it, but that would require me to have it installed at least for 2 to 3 weeks that i can see how its power consumption behaves.
Has anyone done some tests or has some experinence from using it and can tell me if build 7 is better/worse/equal to build 6.0 in battery consumption?
thanks!

for me personally build 6 was a bad one for battery consumption, and it's improved on 6.5 up
i'm currently running unofficial builds from @fusionjack, but when i was on official build 7 it was much improved over build 6, i'd recommend you try it out and see if it improves for you

Hello all,
I have a question for you all:
I have flashed a new rom today and have decided to NOT activate Google Now, and (after a few hours only), I seem to see a much better battery use?
Is it possible that this app, being monitoring so much all the time hoggs the battery quite a lot?
So, placebo effect or not?
Certainly possible I suppose, but I haven't noticed it drawing a significant amount of juice on my S3 or my Note 2.
I've had Now running in the background on my Note 2 for over 9 hours and the battery is still at 92% (minimal usage, just on WiFi), and while I'm getting tired of being notified about the ManU match, it doesn't seem to be drawing an inordinate about of power to run.
Is the new ROM you flashed using a different kernel or a newer revision of your previous kernel? In my experience, that's been the biggest factor in terms of power consumption.

Well, I am using temasek's CM10 Kang (70 I believe, latest anyway)
and with the kernel that came with it.
I ve tried other AOSP kernel, but no boot at all, so...
What I think is that XXDLIB modem does has a noticeable effect on good reception over here, so maybe that s the factor here?
So as usual, our device has many fantastic ROMs available and before I continue, I wanna thank every awesome developer that takes the time out to work on them and make users that much happier with their SGSIII's.
With that said, I've been trying a few JB AOSP/AOKP ROMS and I wanted to get some user input on two particular ROMs (though you can mention any other ROM as well if you wish).
I've personally really enjoyed using ResurrectionRemix 3.x.x and FoxHound 1.x.
I wanted to know what your experiences have been with these two ROMS (in comparison to eachother). Pros/Cons, general comments, etc...
The things im looking at are Battery Life, Consistent Performance, Buggieness, and overall satisfaction.
Any comments would be appreciated! =D
Thanks!
PS.: Please also mention the kernel u used when running each ROM, for the sake of thouroughness.
I'm using RR and running Siyah latest dual boot 1.7RC kernel
I would like to say that I experience Good battery with WiFi or data On for nearly 12 hours and I could get 15% or less battery left at the end of the day. With heavy usage I forgot. This ROM is very smooth for me and I experience no lag.
I have not tried FH ROM thou.

Yeah that sounds roughly the same that i've been getting with RR and Siyah 1.7rc1. Although sometimes it would be more like 19 Hours of normal-medium usage, and sometimes it would be 10 hours for same usage. Sometimes it feels a little like it has its own temperaments. lol.
Stefan, I realize you are just asking for user input, but this is basically asking which rom/kernel combo is the best. Which comes down to this:

Question for anyone using non-TW roms, how do you find battery life compared to TW roms?
I had to use Hyperdrive for a week or so for ISIS, and was surprised at the difference in battery life compared to the GPE rom. It seemed to last about twice as long. Switched to SlimKat and get about the same on it as on the GPE. I use Greenify, battery graphs are smooth, main difference looks like Android OS/System showing a higher percent.
Used KT's kernel with all of the above.
I'm expecting to be able to go at least 4-7 days without charging if I don't use it much, which was definitely possible on a stock TW-MK2 S4 and this one with Hyperdrive. This site says the S4 should be able to get 13-20 days standby time, has anyone ever actually gotten that?
Problem is, really can't stand TouchWiz.
TL;DR - Question: How long is your battery life on non-TW roms vs TW roms? Which non-TW rom have you found to be best for battery life?
Edit:
Meant to link "this site" to http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S4_id7597
Not for me
I always had horrendous battery life with the kitkat ROMs I used back in fall of last year. Dead by 5 pm and now I get until about 1 am with my Moto X. That's pretty impressive though
I'm currently runnish Hyper drive and I get great battery life. will take off the charger at 9 am and will last till I get home at 3 am the next day. with the stock rom though it was terrible haven't tried running another rom on this s4 yet.
I read some comments that they used to get 8-9hrs of SOT, some said they could manage to get 10 or more hours on SOT, so ive been thinking on creating thread to get some info on what version of miui is the best for battery backup, ive used miui7 and yeah i got 8hrs of SOT back then, miui8 is pretty fast on battery drain, so can i have something on you guys? what version is good on battery backup?
I don't think there's a simple answer to your question. Everyone's use of the phone is different.
Playing games uses more battery than browsing or watching YouTube.
4G uses more battery than 3G.
3G uses more battery than WiFi.
Bad mobile signal uses more battery than good signal.
Setting the brightness higher uses more battery than setting it low.
Overclocking uses more battery than running at stock speed.
MIUI 8 uses more battery than MIUI 7.
So there is really no way to objectively compare SOT between users.
I never managed to empty the battery of my phone in one day, no matter what I was doing.
And as long as you come home in the evening and still have battery left, you shouldn't worry about other people's screen on times.
But do you even need to use MIUI? I have used both MIUI 7 and 8, for many months and I used to think that the user experience was pretty great till I installed an Android 7 rom here from XDA, Slim 7. Only then I understood what a great experience this phone can offer. I have been using Nitrogen OS for close to two months now, and not only does it have all the customization options I need, my phone is smooth as a flagship and I get 10-11 hours of screen on time regularly, with heavy use.
You could use a Marshmallow ROM if you really need a perfectly stable camera, but the camera works 9 out of 10 times anyway.
Custom ROMs are better in every way than MIUI.
Now im on miui7.5.30 battery back up is pretty good. I love aosp based rom but suddenly my fp breaks on NOs, dont know why, since then i get bootloop when i installed custom roms so i settled now in miui
I love aosp to but alarm dont work when turn off phone. And that is important to me.
Hello all,
I tried all the custom ROMs available and they seem to have a high idle drain. I am loosing usually 10-20% per day which is extremely high in my opinion.
The Paranoid Android and Arter97's software collection seems to be slightly better but that is Android Pie based.
Is Android 10 the actual problem for the drain? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I never tried MIUI so I do not know how is the idle drain on the official OS but I had a Lenovo Tab 4 8" plus before and it was barely loosing 1% per day.
I hope I can find a good setup because at the moment there are not many options for a good 8" tablet. Even the Mediapad M6 8.4" is not produced anymore.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I use f2fs partitions on data and cache. I am not sure if that could cause any issue but on other devices I never noticed battery drain because of it.

yes. I'm facing same issue too. performance is owesome but idle battery got problem. have been try all android 10 for clover. all of them have the same issue . I don't think android 10 causes the problem because my lavender on miui android 10 battery life very good.
Turning off wifi works for me. When I do not need the device I just turn it off and the battery lasts much longer then when idle. have not really looked into it but I guess it is related to data usage or device not going to "deep" sleep
Yes, I had this issue with many custom roms, except Carbon rom. I've been running Carbon rom since I found this rom didn't have that issue, though it has less features than most of other roms

Yup, I second that. Also using carbon rom and idle drain is good
If you're using magisk then v20.4 have higher battery drain during idle. Try v20.3
