My desire 601 bit the dust so I'm back to the amaze until the blackberry z30 is on sale. I'm wondering which Rom will give me the best battery life and stability as a daily driver? I don't have the bandwidth to download a bunch of roms to test and don't suggest stock because that gave me terrible battery life and random crashes. I don't need any crazy performance, just enough to listen to music text and use social media. I tried Android revolution 5 and it just gave me more issues, battery drain, system ui has stopped, etc. I'm on the latest version of NRG now and battery is still draining so it may be the battery itself. What do you reccomend? Also which kernel gives ideal battery life?

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.
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.
guys i have been using grif_07 cyanogenmod 7.1 for some time now.....although i loved every portion of it(espically the blazing speed and super fast performance) it was at the cost of battery.....
even if the phone was charged to 100%,the battey would drain out overnight despite it being idle for the whole night......
so i am using stock now.....bettery battery but below avg. on performance.....
best rom which balances out both??
I'm currently using 7.2 (1st version), and with it I use CPU Tuner to config my battery usage... It takes about 24h to drain completely, I use a lot my phone, mainly wifi to send emails and facebook...
Im trying Icecream Sunday2 and its going very well
Simple question for all the experts...
If two different Roms are running the same Kernel, should the battery drain be that much different?
Im running REZRom currently and thinking about switching to Bamf 2.1. i'm sure both roms are smooth and fantastic I just want the one with the best battery life.
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.
You should get good battery life on either. That is depending on your usage and setup of course.

Battery life with same kernel should not vary too much from ROM to ROM. Depends on how much "stuff" is running in bakground that might be using the battery up. The kernel makes the biggest difference since it controls the whole system. I am personally using Scotts CleanRom Developers Edition (Senseless) and it is great! I get a solid 13+ hours with moderate use (some calls, lots of web, and a few games) and thats on 4G for 11-12 hours of it! If you use wifi you probably could squeeze another hour or 2 out of the battery...
This is on clean rom dev edition. 2 hours screen on time so far with standard battery. I use 3g normally unless I need 4g. I also use juice defender ultimate and keep data off while not in use.

While there are a number of tweaks and apps you can use (like SetCPU) to improve battery life, it's true that the kernel has more to do with battery life than that ROM itself.
Sometimes a rogue app can prevent the cpu from idling or prevent the phone from entering deep sleep mode. This happens on mine occasionally, and you can usually tell from the extended battery graph because the phone will show as awake for large periods of time, even when the screen is off and it should be in sleep mode.
ok m done with this battery and free ram issue, my battery life is draining so fast on any of the JB roms, its like 1% on 30sec screen on.
i turned back to try ics(criskelo v6) while the rom is great, i get also a good battery i guess, around 7hours screen on, 6 hours of videos and virtually unlimited standby time. the only cons here is that i have 704mb used out of 784mb , also i removed touchwiz, live wallpapers and some bloatwares.
note that checking battery life and ram usage is done with no apps installation, just on the default roms apps. no special app draining battery.
also, battery is taking over 4 hours to fully charge from 10%, even while the device is powered down and on ac charger.
on JB roms like (omega and criskello) battery is draining super fast and charge super slow, but i have over 250mb free rams, on the other side, on AOSP roms (paranoid) battery life is better than other samsung JB based roms, but i get only 100mb free rams.
ok i want to stick with ICS roms for now, seems like JB roms are not stable till now, but also i still have this free ram issue in any rom, any suggestion for this problem,
-is it a kernel problem?
-is it my battery problem?
Try searching for "free RAM" on the forum and read a few of the literally thousands of posts about it.
Short version; don't care about it. Android reports free RAM different from Windows and BSD-based systems (including OsX/iOS), so it confuses users.
Battery life is an issue with JB, true. It'sbetter with the new Siyahkernel but still completely random and not great.
