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.

Which would be a better rom for the vibrant? My main preferences are battery, gps and stability. Pro and cons would be good for those who have tried both.
gps identical. the Miui fix is the same as the CM7 fix, Stability pretty much the same, again miui for vibrant uses the cm7 framework for compatability with our phone. Battery... prolly CM7 less shinys less toys. Miui is very aethetic, full of shiny's, transitions, etc. but i still use it as a daily driver and won't be switching till i switch phones.
battery:vote for cm7
gps: no choice because samsung does not work well
I just installed CM 7.1 stable, prior to that I had MiUi for a few days.
MiUi deffinately had better GPS. GPS on MiUi for me worked everytime upon reboot. CM7 the GPS isn't working for me. I'm still tinkering with it.
MiUi also felt faster, smoother and more refined around the edges.
Then again it's late and I'm tired, maybe I'll wake up loving CM tomorrow morning.

but battery miui so bad
so it seems like cm's battery is better? that would be a huge plus for me
really depends on what people consider "bad" everyone has there own perspective on battery life. for me working 10 hour shifts 6 days a week. and heavy internet/text usage. i find Miui quite adaquate as a daily driver. maybe talk heavy users drain battery faster? seems odd considering screen is off during calls and screen tends to consume more power then any other piece of hardware in our phones. My opinion is try both. give each a few days to calibrate battery and optimize itself and judge from there. unless your planning on buying a new phone this week you will have time to test each one in length and get a good judge of the pros and cons of each using your personal device. Not all Vibrants are created equal.
As MIUI is built from CM7, they perform virtually the same. CM7 is more for those who like barebones builds which are very true to stock Android, MIUI is more for those who want more things built in and like flashy eye candy... and maybe like iOS's general design...
Not to say MIUI is bad. My girlfriend used it until builds went wacko for her device and her uncle still uses it on his. I use it occasionally too... just right now I prefer CM7. It's all about personal preference.
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:

Hey everyone. Please don't flame and ask me to just 'test' Roms etc. I've been doing that for months. Tried vanilla stock, resurrection remix, cyanogen etc.
I need a Rom that isn't absolutely plastered with 'branding' and stuff from the creator and doesn't have the settings menus warped or other nonsense baked into it.
But that still allows me to use both cameras and doesn't drain my battery in only 4 hours.
I just got a new battery today and my phone is still draining in just a few hours with the screen brightness at 50%. I've got all of my settings turned off, BT, GPS etc. and I don't even have that many apps installed.
So it's got to be the rom because I used to get 1½ days out of this thing.
I really like AOSP roms, but I just don't like not being able to use both the cameras to their full potential.
Any ideas?
You can check out Fulmics ROM 2.0 or or Genisys 2.0. My friends use those and they haven't complained about it.
I installed RR 6.1.0 from NextDroid. The battery performance improved, it now charges faster and lasts longer. However the wide-angle camera doesn't work. ?*
Hey guys, I'm looking for a rom that has the best possible battery life. Doesn't matter if it's slow or lacks some major features, even KitKat is fine. So what would be the best possible rom with just battery life in mind according to you?
I'm probably gonna go for dotOS. Is the battery life any good? Or is resurrection remix Oreo better?
Stock rom, based on MIUI 9 China rom. Idle drain overnight hardly 2-3 % for 3 year old Mi Pad. Only downside it's based on Kitkat.
But doesn't matter to me, as I use it for playing PUBG and watching YouTube and normal browsing.

Original KitKat Miui indeed has the best battery life and I would use it as well but you can't double tap to fast forward in Youtube with android 4.4 which is something I need...
Go for Lineage OS 14.1 by Artemka. Battery backup is good. Using it currently. LOS 15.1 has bad battery backup.
Hi guys
I wanna find out which ROM has the best battery consumption with a smooth system.
I'm now on
Havoc 4.3 / 2 years old heavy used mi9 256gb transparent edition / some sys apps freezed / some changings in build.prop / automatic brightness with velis autobrightness
SOT 7 hours in a cycle from starting with 90% charged (using smart charge) used to 3% = 87% consumption in 36 hours
It would be good if you post also the base of your phone.
No one with better values ?

It's useless. You should really test all the ROMs yourself, as our usage differs, our network differs, our ambient temperature differs and so on and they all contribute to battery life or as you expect, SOT.

Hmmm useless?
Ok, I respect your opinion.
In my opinion it's not useless and hopefully for others too, because the main thing is the ROM for overall SOT.
As substantiation the SOT 2 years ago with new phone and Miui factory settings was at the highest value around 3 hours and now I've got 6 hours. Also if I add the ambient temperatures and light and different app using.... the overall SOT now with my old phone is much better as delivered and so the reason is the havoc rom.
It's useless because it can cause misleading conclusion.
There's no such a thing as overall SOT for everybody at least without perfect comparison (i.e. you list all your phone age, apps, settings and usage pattern) with previous ROM you use.
Even if your experience above is true, there's no guarantee it will happen to me as well if I also change ROM. For starters, my MIUI EU ROM ever since I had this phone 1.5 years ago has always been around 5-6 hours SOT. That one alone is already different from you, right? I would be very misled if I think "oh, this person can jump its SOT from 3 hours to 6 by using havoc ROM, so if I follow him I could get 10-12 hours, or at least 8-9 hours". Don't get me wrong, ROM does have influence to battery life, at least if the developer do some low level optimizations, better if at kernel level, but still assuming one person's experience can be reproduced by others, is a no go.
My best experience is with stable xiaomi.eu, 12.0.6 at the moment, and about 20 frozen MIUI and Google apps. I test and use custom roms from time to time, but never had better SOT than with xiaomi.eu and the same package of apps.

H, since I updated from miui 10 to miui 11 and even now that I have miui 12 I have noticed that the battery doesn't last as long as before. I state that since I purchased the phone (July 2019) I have always charged the battery in the best way...
