I want to try a rom+kernel combination that gives 10hrs+ battery life with smooth daily performance. There are many people posting threads about their awesome performance with 12hours of battery life. I don't want that much, but at least, a minimum. Of 9-10 would satisfy me. I have gone through many roms but, none of them have given me that much. I am not a heavy user.
Perhaps you might want to share with us which ROMs you have already tried, how each one performed, and how exactly you use your phone?
buddy u got beast. battery backup is same on all Custom Rom except Stock u, you can try Faust, velvet or Valcun which are different in there own way.
remove unnecessary apps and install Greenify.
dude, we get 10+ hours of SoT because we're using the phone all day long...
if you use it for 2-3 days you will just get 7+ hours because the 3+ hours will be consumed when you're idle....

What do you think the best ROM for battery life is? I've tried checkROM and wasn't too happy with it, due to the fact that the battery drained a lot while playing music - which is one of the main features I use on my Sgs2. Next I moved onto VillainROM, it just wasn't to my liking, as of now I'm on the beautiful HyperDroid-Androidmedia VXD and I'm loving it, I've noticed a fair amount of difference in battery life, 5hrs display time along with a lot of wifi, games, eveything, so I'm pretty chuffed.
I'm going to check out MIUI - but how's the battery on it? I've also heard that it isnt very stable...? If not I'll just stick to Hyperdroid .
Thank you!
I think <insert name of ROM here> is the best for battery life.
Allow the next 10 posters to fill in the gap with several different answers.
I have been able to get out around 36hrs from Gingermod v0.7. the key reason behind this was that i used to switch on data or wi-fi only when i was using it and not all the time.This drastically reduced my battery drain.For eg. i lost only 1% battery during the 8 hrs i was sleeping.

Currently using CheckROM but thinking of switching to Androidmeda for the (reportedly) amazing battery life. I can't see any direct comparison between the two, so I was hoping I might be able to get some feedback from people who have used them.
I heard someone say that they weren't that impressed with Androidmeda, but didn't really explain why. CheckROM seems to be the most popular, and it definitely is smooth, but I can't get much battery life out of it, despite switching kernels.
Any advice welcome. Thanks.
I get superb battery life from CheckRom as do many others it's nothing to do with the ROM you need to establish what is draining your battery it's certainly not the ROM itself.

I don't think I'm getting a battery drain as such, I could probably get about 14 hours out of it, which isn't too bad I suppose. I'm seeing people report over 2 days with Androidmeda.
I didn't like checkrom and switched back to androidmeda.
Can't give any specific reasons though. I think it's the surgeon scripts which I like.

Both at the end of the days are good roms. Its about choice really and what you like as a user..For me i have to say Androidmeda. Saved myself money from buying an extended battery cause of the great rom/kernel combo. The min screen on time i get is 5hrs buddy and that is over the duration of say 26-40hrs. and not just that i have learned quite alot since i switched over. Plus the devs are great support there and if you need anyting they are always there to help...Regarding checkrom again i did try that and nothing but good words to say about that rom specially if you like the kitchen idea but for me smoothness and battery life is androidmeda...But again only you can decide by trying both..and not just a day or two you have to give it at least a week for each rom to decide which one you prefer
cant get the idea of surgeon untill now why it have to be with themes?
if i want to flash "Hyperdroid" then flash a surgeon then flash ICS theme by "Vertumus" will it revert all the mods that the surgeon did?
I'm using Seraphim and I'm happy with the battery life. It seems to be worse than the GB ROM but I can get about 2% down every hour when the phone is idle.
I am thinking of trying different ROMs and battery life is very important to me. Which ROM will give the phone a better battery life based on your experience?
Thanks.

ah ok, im in search of a good ics battery friendly rom as well, actually downloading dag's ics "hybrid" rt now. i'll give it a go for the next couple days and post back. i was seeing about the same as you for seraphim.
In my experience, unless there's a bug, a ROM has little effect on battery life. Android is going to use a certain amount of power to run itself, and there is little that a dev can cook into a ROM to change this. Beyond the system, battery usage is from the screen, apps, and radios. If you are in an area with poor reception, and have lots of apps and widgets that frequently update in the background, this will decrease battery life.
I've used both DaGr8's Alpha II and Seraphim, and my battery drains less than 1% per hour when idling.
Guys a Search would have told you that Battery life is 99% on the user and has almost nothing to do with the rom. We could be running the exact same rom and get very different battery lifes due to the apps we use and how we have the device set up.
In the end there is not best rom. Only what works best for you.

Hey guys the reason im making this is because i have seen on other forums and even on this that alot and alot of people ask for which rom has the best battery life. So in solution i am making this poll so that people can just look at it and not have to create a thread on what rom has the best battery life and clutter up the general.
SO here are the roms
I will update when new roms come
*snapshots would help
*other roms comment
*choose 1 rom only
*why and how much would help to
Best battery life for me has been Saurom GB. 13 hours on battery, 6 hours of screen time.
On ICS, I've gotten 8 hours on battery, 5 hours screen time while on Noteworthy Beta 2. Still have some tweaking to do on ICS, I had a couple apps set to refresh every 10 minutes, so it killed my battery faster.

Hello everyone!
I'm the long-time proud owner of a Galaxy S2 NFC (GT-I9100P): almost 3 years and counting....
After more than two years with stock roms, some months ago, I switched to NeatROM, to see if I could get better battery life (right now I'm on JellyBean: XWMS3 NeatROM v.6.4, kernel 3.0.101-Apolo_4.14_Light-gf40153f).
As of now, I manage to keep the phone on (with some ordinary texting, whatsapp texting, a few twits, 2-4 phonecalls & some internet research per day) for about 13-14 hours (most of the time, I manage to get home with 10% battery or less...I suspect this is also due to bad signal strenght where I work ).
Anyway, I read around the forums flashing a KitKat ROM might squeeze a little more battery juice, thanks to its "optimizations", yet I also read it might bring out battery draining issues...so I'm a bit at loss...
Would you recommend me to update my phone to KitKat, or would you suggest to stick to JellyBean?
I'm posting a poll. DO please also add your considerations to your vote.
Thank you in advance,

Sry in advance, I'm replying using the app and I found no way to vote here.
My experience I've made is generally the Samsung based roms like miui, fusion or neat rom are good at battery life. I think Samsung did a nice job there.
Custom roms which aren't based on stock rom didn't have the same good battery life for me.
Thinking about KitKat roms I've made the experience that the phone often had some wakelocks, I couldn't reproduce. I also read other user had the same problems as well.
So in summary i didn't get better battery life there either.
For me best battery life can be found at stock rom based roms.
Talking about battery life, I'd recommend you to try apolo kernel, as this kernel seems to improve it, especially by using undervolting.
Good luck finding a good rom. :thumbup:

Many thanks for your opinion.
As you can see, I'm already on Apolo kernel, but I still haven't played with its options...:angel: I'll consider your suggestion, while I wait for some more contributions on the topic.

My recomendation is try for yourself.
Battery drain is very dependant on the way the phone is used.
I have my supported S 2 running AOSP Neatrom and use three apps to help with battery drain: Greenify, Leandroid and Unbounce. The first requires Xposed for full funcionality and the third is a Xposed module.
I really do not like Touchwiz roms and prefer to have AOSP richier UI configuration. With the apps above you might be able to move to AOSP and still have a battery life that is good enough for you.
And remember, after a few years of use batteries loose performance. Just get a new one and you certainly will have more juice by the end of the day.
