Been thinking about this and cant decide, well wonder if anyone knows.
Do people think that the Samsung ROMS de-bloated and stripped to minimum with a decent Kernel, have better battery life than say a AOSP ROM, with a custom Kernel?
Just a thought!?

Where are your results?
The maximum I ever achieved on a Samsung ROM was just under 7 hours screen time with stock battery. Max I've ever got on AOSP is 5 hours screen time. But I've just flashed a new kernel so I have yet to see if that makes a noticeable difference.

See that was my thought. I remember back in the GB days i always seemed to get more battery out of the Samsung lite ROMs than i did with CM7 etc.
I have a 2000Mah Battery and I'm only really seeing 1 day 14 hours on AOSP with 5 hours screen time.
On GB, i would have around 2 days, maybe a little more with the same screen time.

Your results look interesting. Im tempted to flash a Stock ROM (Wanam Lite) most probably and try that with NEAK Kernel, or Abyss (Never tried Abyss)
Battery 69% with 13h of use. Resurrection v1.5 with stock kernel. Awesome!!

Going to try Wanamlite.
Will strip more crap out of it as 235mb is still alot!
Will most probably add NEAK Kernel with Lulzctive tweaks and see what happens!
I still think stock ROM is better for battery life, for some reason!
At least with Vertumus' new theme its more or less similar looking

I do believe its true though.
I'd love to see some 'proper' results though. Wonder why Stock Roms perform better battery wise than AOSP.

With N.E.A.K. I was having some SoD. I dont know why... so i decided to use custom kernel of Resurection remix v1.5. With Thoravukk 2.30 and siyah 3.0rc6 the battery life was weak.
Getting excellent battery life with VK ROM and speedmod kernel. Amazing combination.

I was on stock, unrooted. Rarely on wifi since I have a mobile 3g plan. Use email and twitter often. Some surfing (rarely), play bit of games etc. I get 40+ hours out of it.
I just rooted, still stock (for now). Removed all the telco crap and am gonna freeze the useless stuff. Perhaps it will be better.
Only thing is i hate the Stock look, and even with vertumus theme its still not the same!
I hear good things about the LP9 Base.
Not sure whether to try Wanam's LP9 Or Dynamic Slim!

I love SpeedMod kernel. I've been using it with Foxhound ROMs (GB and now ICS) for a while. It just gives great battery life, and I've had no issues with it at all.
i get good batt life an iam on stock 2.3.5 gb but i was neva satisfied wiv custum roms life..but every phone is diff an depends on how u use it,may b custum or stock.....cheeerz
Combination of HYDR0G3NICS + Siyah 3.1rc6 gives me about 6-7 screen on time. Which is quite impressive. GPU + CPU UV. Tweaks. etc.
Hi there,
i am new into this custom ROM stuff and i been trying few ROM and now i am on the UltimaROM 2.3.2
but Battery going down from 100 to 84 in short time
Which is the best to have more Battery
and is there anyway removing the default SMS app and use chompsms instead ?
Nothing is best here. Just keep experience yourself with different rom, kernel and tweaks to find the best battery performance for your phone.

I think stock kernal is probably your best bet for battery life...
Hi everyone!
1st post on xda, but I'm new in android world!
Anyway, I'm using Omega ROM v27.2 (JB)/stock kernel and I experienced some battery drain issues. After getting BBS, I didn't able to point out what was the cause.
After many readings, I found a possible solution: in advanced WiFi settings, they advised to disable "Keep WiFi on during sleep". By default it's set on "always". They advise to set it to "never" but I prefer set it to "only when plugged in". I think it's more logical!
I don't know yet if it's efficient but I'm trying this and I'll come back later to tell you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
you could use phenomenal kernel for better battery life. it is better than stock kernel in terms of battery life but you need to check compatibility with the custom rom you choose
Foxhound Essential .2 with latest siyah kernel
Best Battery life I ever tried - I've used Foxhound, Criskelo, and Omega JB roms but the Foxhound Essential is the fastest, ram free (430mb), best battery life performance around (8hours extensive use with mobile date turned on). Try it its great! Thanks

Try latest siyah kernel - plus Foxhound Essential ver .2 - No bloatware and best battery life performance..
I flashed Phenomenal Extreme kernel yesterday but to test it properly I have to wait for Monday when I'll be at work.
I'm not a fanatic of battery life, I just want to find the right mix between performance & battery life. For now, I found the phenom extreme not enough smooth, I'll probably change it for the medium one in few days.

My best results with battery life has been with Phenomenal Extreme and VikingROM. I got about 6 hours screentime with wifi, sync, and lots of gaming. Though i think you can make almost any rom or kernel last about 5-6 hours screentime if you check your running processes and apps running in the backround.
I hv tried lots of roms
Psycho rom XXDLJ1 v 0.0.1 is one of the best
it gives u maximum performance and an amazing battary life
Though you can flash different ROMS and kernels to experiment with battery performance, most reputable ROMS like AOKP or CM10 Wong yield much difference. Too many other variables. I've heard Trinity kernel is a good one, but I just got an extended battery. I found it to be the most sure way of extending battery life.

I've tried omega Rom and phenomenal kernel but these didn't really give me any more battery.
I found the stock kernel and Rom gave me the best battery performance at around 10 hours with WiFi on and surfing internet and maybe a quick go of a game or two.

Battery Plus is my favorite ROM, fast, responsive and have yet to have any issues. average of 10 hours of battery life
currently on the hatka Rom (just flashed yesterday) so i can vouch for it being really nice and battery efficient. plus i love the transparent pulldown and app drawer on it.
Viper DNA just dropped today. I was on the beta testing team and not only is the ROM incredible, but I was getting improved battery life on it as compared to stock and UKB.
If u like a customizable Rom and tweaks and a lot of other things viper rom is the one for u. Me I'm on it I too was apart of the beta team and I will say viper is the sheit :thumbup:

Battery life on ROMs is a tough variable. Having hung around these forums for a really long time I can tell you that you will see huge swings in reeactions to battery life, often on the same ROM. There are so many things that can influence battery life that it really is a YMMV thing. you might be able to get some general trends from reading ROM threads, but there is no such thing as "gospel truth". some genral thoughts
1. Push email and facebook chew through battery
2. The accepted consensus is that battery saver prgrams like juice defender can eat as much battery ormore than they save but if you have a specific use case they may work.
3. you can spend your whole day chasing wakelocks...
All ROMs generally have about the same battery life. Battery is all about how you use your phone and how you manage what is running in the background.

Obviously everyone's mileage will vary, but of every ROM I've tried I've seen the best battery out of the Sentinel sense based ROM over in the international one development section. Yes it and basically every other ROM over there is compatible with the att variant
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I have tried Sense 5.0, the Google Play Edition ROM and two CM nightly, the most recent one being July 5.
Both the GE and CM handily beat the stock Sense ROM in battery life (at least that was my perception).
CM 10.1 seemed to be a bit better than the Google Edition ROM (it also seems to be significantly more efficient in its use of resources which translates into better battery life), but there are still some issues with CM...NFC, Bluetooth, no Beats Audio Drivers, and I like the new Jelly Bean Camera App better so I am sticking with the GE ROM for the time being.
I love CM though and will probably go back to it once everything gets ironed out...
OK so I too have been questioning battery life. CM 11 did... OK. My previous phone was the Moto G, and comparatively my One has been doing terrible on battery life! I'm currently on Pacrom, tried PA and a couple similar as well, getting 9 hr battery life, 2 hr on (like what the f***!) according to GSam. I'm thinking about stock gpe and playing with kernels? Thoughts? Testing has been taking a while as I try to give every rom kernel combo 3 days at least, a week preferred.

A some what general consensus of Battery life for the One:
Sense > Google Edition > AOSP
In my opinion the best battery life will come from a fairly close to stock sense Rom such as MaximusHD with poondog's Kangaroo Kernel.

I've been switching back and forth between NOS's GPE and a few different aosp Roms (running Vanir ATM). The customization of aosp Roms is awesome, but the performance and screen-on time just isn't up to par with sense based Roms so I go back and forth a lot. Too bad we can't have the best of both worlds, but GPE+xposed modules is about as close as it gets.

Carbon has been my daily driver until just recently as pio isn't actively developing it anymore. Hopefully he will come back to it when the time is right, but in the meantime I've been bouncing around all over between Sense and AOSP...flashed Viper 2.0 and ran it all day yesterday and it's pretty close to the customization I was used to with Carbon and PAC, and it was nice to have full speaker volume for a change. But right now I'm flashing crDroid and will probably spend a little time playing with Beanstalk today too.
When picking a ROM, my main concern is whether or not it will still be supported a week from now. With a lot of the AOSP roms for the DNA, it looks like each developer is building and supporting three or four roms, and in some cases stop building/supporting an older rom when they have three or four new ones to compile.
Because of this I stick to CM (or really any other rom with a full team behind it who releases regular builds).
I just switched back to AOSP from ViperDNA and had a good run with that.

None of the roms which i build has been abandoned. If they have been abandoned its due to the fact that their main team has stopped developing like jellybeer, uXylon etc.

Do you elaborating on GPE + xposed...I love the carbon rom and would love to increase the volume and I am getting frustrated.
I know AOSP roms have bugs. But why is it that I cannot use my voip apps on my phone whenever I have anything AOSP on it?? Is there something I'm missing?? Like changing settings somewhere?? My main complain with AOSP are the constant crashes, and that it renders my voip apps useless. Also, in my experience battery life was poor in AOSP and most of the feature rich sense based roms. I'm currently running DNA-Super-Digital rom on my phone. It's not fancy but at least it is very stable and offers a good battery life. I wish there were more stable roms with good battery life like it.

Xposed frameworks basically lets you modify apk's on the fly as if the functionality was built into the ROM, I think that's the best way to explain it. Right now I'm using xposed framework with gravitybox (various mods similar to what you find in aosp Roms), xblast tools (same type of thing), xposed statusbar mods (self-explanatory), xposed app settings (per-app DPI/permissions), and xtheme engine (let's you use cm10 themes, although they have to be pre-modified to work with xtheme). Here is the thread for xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 installation instructions are in the thread, and all of the modules I mentioned are available through the app.

Jammiethemorris answered the question about xposed framework. Regarding the volume, xposed framework doesn't fix that. All CM-based roms have low speaker volume because the amplifier is not working correctly. So I switched to the GE rom which is Sense-based and therefore doesn't have the low volume problem. The GE rom looks very much like AOSP but doesn't have options to tweak it, hence the need for xposed framework which allows you to tweak he look and feel of the rom.
