Hey guys,
I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.
Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.
Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...
Thanks in advance!
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.
What's your cell standby reading? Percentage of battery use? Also of android system and OS,?

i recommend NEO 9 v5 it has great battery life and its really smooth it comes with led version and no-led
When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.
Stock kernel is more stable but other kernels give better battery an there much smoother

Is it just me or does battery life on CM9 for Note suck?
I know it's an unofficial port and all, but I seem to get significantly poorer battery life on the AOSP/CM9 roms vs the rooted/debloated stock ones.
On the OnlyOne rom, I got ****ing insane battery life. Like 36+ hours with normal/heavy use. On all of the AOSP/CM9 variants (Flapjaxx/h0twir3) I'm at 50% after 5-6 hours of light use.
Am I the only one? Am I doing something wrong? On every other device I've owned (Nexus One, Nexus S, Captivate, Streak, Sensation, Fascinate...) AOSP has gotten significantly BETTER battery life. There are no obvious rogue apps that I can find, and I'm running exactly the same apps on both roms, still, CM9 variants inexplicably get poor battery life on this phone.
The only thing I've noticed is that Android System is using way more battery on CM9 vs stock roms.
Am I nuts?

Maybe I'll try that one. I'm basically just trying to see if anyone else has the issue before I go looking elsewhere to solve it.

Is that standby time? How long is the screen time?

Hi, just wanted to know if i have the same application, the same usage with CM 10.1 and Stock lastest Sammy rom, which would give me more battery life ? :angel:
How much aproximatively would it be different if so ?
Samsung would be better.....10-20%
I keep reading of people using the phone while browsing for +4h of screen or surfing the web for 2h on 4G and still having 70% left of battery life.
This is all stock ROMs. From my usage this would be impossible, I'm using cm10.1 and on 3g I could probably go to 2h screen on but that's it.
I'm starting to think that maybe aosp roms don't even come close to stock ROMs (which I never tried though).
Some experiences between roms and battery life?
Yeah I agree that stock seems better than aosp based. Even using similar kernels (perseus on stock v devil on aosp)

yes.stock is better
Has anyone done a true comparison of the battery life between
- Latest Samsung Rom 4.1.2
- Latest AOSP Rom 4.2.2 (anyone)
I'm curious to know which one has more battery life?
Has anyone done a real test and posted results?
Thanks

For me 4.2.2 with DorimanX kernel got better battery than any 4.1.2 combination. And again, this is just my opinion.

Same here. I'm using SlimBean build5 with Dori 9.16 and battery life is better than stock 4.1.2.
Aokp cm ect have better battery life than stock. I could get 1% drain over 8 he's sleep. 12% with stock
alliance 7.3

I think aosp has better battery life but I came from PAC man rom 4.2.2 to chameleon (Sammy base aosp apps and look) and battery's almost as good
I was worried about this too but after using 4.2.2 for last couple of weeks its pretty much the same as 1.2. Tried Illusion Rom and RootBox and battery life is satisfactory. Especially since I didn't do anything to improve on it. Didnt even try custom kernels which will improve it for sure!
So for now I can't see myself going back to 4.1.2
I need the best combo of rom and kernel ! recently got back into the android game after having an s3 and then switching to a 6s plus now I'm back, with the oneplus two
I need help on choosing the rom and kernel, would prefer for the rom to be stable and the kernel to give me great battery life
right now I'm on aospa 6.0.1 it's alright
I was so excited to get back into roms and android that I didn't even last 3 hours on oxygenOS
OOS3 is actually pretty decent. Especially if you get a ROM that is a modified version of OOS like Oxydium. Exodus is also another good choice for speed, battery, and reliability. So far though, in my experience, it's pretty hard to go wrong with any of the ROMs available for the OP2 though. CM based ROMs have seemed to not get quite as good battery as OOS based or Exodus for me, but they have more features of course. Good luck on your search!
Official cm13 with boeffla kernel is my default setup. But using aospa and resurrection remix (benschold kernel) once in a while )
Waiting to see more features in aospa

I think the best rom at the moment is Oxydium
Good battery, Android N-designed, great performance and no heating

The bad part of oxydium, is not upgraded to the ota release. Happy user of cm13 unofficial, as daily.

The battery life is good, better than cm13, 4-5h sot
Now i'm using PA and it's more smooth than oxydium but camera is not as good as oxydium.
So far mm ROMs are still buggy and things are getting a lot better but the best ROM at least for me was VisionX but its a lollipop ROM
For me RR is still best in battery life

6h / 7h is achievable
Mostly i have 2 days of standby with 4,5 / 5h sot
Last couple of days I'm thinking about switching from OOS3 based back to CM13 or AOSP or PA. So I'm going through threads and I'm kinda shocked to see how most of them are now plagued by bugs which seem to have nothing to do with our devs, but it seems like they are getting that from sources, CyanogenMod mostly. Also, I don't remember any problems from couple of weeks (months?) ago! Like no notifications (dead silent phone), alert slider not working, echo in conversations, problems with camera, heavy on battery... before I had excellent battery life, notification and slider worked better than in OOS3, ROM was better with each version... any thoughts on that?
hi,
AOKP + Boeffla Kernel at the BEST! :good:
All ROMs and every kernel is best:good:

Can easily confirm, Resurrection Remix has given me much better battery life than OOS3 with my usage. Constant 5h SOT on LTE, 6+ on WiFi
CM13 Unofficial by Seraph08 + Boeffla Kernel works pretty well for me. I get a Standby time of almost 30 hours and SOT of over 4 hours. I used to barely manage 3 hours SOT earlier with OOS3.

I have been wondering the exact same thing.. I flashed PA June and it's been o.k. but has some issue with speaker / mic that weren't present in other MM rom's I've tried..
I went to Exodus. Feels great, works great, but with Trebuchet launcher as AOSP is very limited. I could recommend it easily
