Difference in battery performance between Marsmallow and Nougat MI5 roms (discussion) - Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Open this post for to debate about the difference in battery performance between Marsmallow and Nougat MI5 roms...
My opinion after test various roms 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 is that on Nougat is worse than marsmallow cause on marsmallow with the same configuration made to get about 1.30 hours of "screen on" more than nougat.
Tested roms CM and AOSP and all with same result, the main problem on nougat is the excessive consumption of inactive phone which consumes a lot of battery, Even with the help of Greenify and Wakelock blocker not solved.
And you guys? What do you think about this

I am having the exact same problem. I could go through the entire day on marsmallow CM and I would have 65%-70% battery left. After updating to Nougat CM, I am down below 35% easy.

Thanks for your opinion... So, looks like evident that this is what it is.
I already came back to use marsmallow.

Nougat drains battery like crazy ...MM all the way...some people have you believe that Nougat has terrible battery for the first day and after that it's all up hill. I beg to differ. I understand that app optimization is working in the background but that can't account for 3 charges on the same day...MIUI 7.1.12 eu.

It doesn't matter since the CM14.1 kernel which is used by every other custom rom makes use of the miui nougat binary blobs. That means that an issue there can in fact transfer into custom roms.
Not that i agree with the consensus here though. For me, Lineage OS has offered the best battery life of all roms, custom or not. No wakelocks whatsoever, almost zero overnight drain, more than 6 hours of SOT with LTE and WiFi on, aggressive governor settings and bad signal reception to boot.

I 2nd that. My phone with LOS consumes about 30-40% on 24h with light usage, and as a frequent visitor to the development thread, I can say that most of the posts regarding battery life are very positive.

Read some negative comments on battery drain as well but gave it a go a couple of days ago, installed latest RR N 5.8.1
I did do a complete wipe including internal storage and switched to f2fs for data and cache (in case you're wondering I installed from OTG card reader)
My battery is doing way better then expected
about 2% loss over night average use during the day causes about 40% loss
I still need to fine tune some things, so it's look good so far ^^

You don't need to
I just wanted a complete blank start
some app settings and data are stored on there, I wanted to make sure it would be a complete clean install.
What do you mean with "do 4 wipe only" ? do you mean dalvik, cache, system and data? if so then yes, stick to those.
Anyway, I've been using NRJ Radio today which was heavy on my battery on MM, it still is on N but way better than before ^^
For me N is much better for my up time ^^
