Hi there,
I have recently started flashing new ROMs into my old Motorola X Play. At the moment, i am using Lineage OS 14.1 but i feel like my battery's draining faster. So i am looking to switch to another ROM possibly with better battery life. I wanna know which ROM is the most stable and used one for lux devices. I have looked up on other websites and a lot of them say Lineage/RR/Viper but i want to know which is best for battery life. If there's a way to stop a fast battery draining issue, that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

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.
Hey Guys
i've been struggling with battery life as i barely get 2.5 hr Screen on Time besides Face book crash since i installed official Lineage OS 14.1 stock kernel
so i need you guys suggest me best rom in terms of battery life and stability i'll be pretty much satisfied with 4 hr SOT
BTW someone told me Sultan Cm 13 rom with 3.4 kernel is the best for battery and most stable but when i went ahead to the rom i found out that the rom is no longer pushes updates so guys would that be problem or that's okay and the rom stable enough and usable in daily basis ?

I'm getting 4hs+ almost every day on JDC. Pretty much the most stable thing you can get besides OOS. Either flash JDC(Tesla if you want more features) or OOS.
And don't use Facebook app, either use lite version or some other app like Phoenix. The Facebook app is a battery and memory hogger. I practically gained 1hr more of sot after I deleted it.

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.
Hey !
I have a problem with cell standby thing and it is sucking up battery like really fast. I don't know what is causing it, I'm using ROM - HN Gaming 11.0.7 and Kernel - Seshtation 7.1.
If someone knows a quick fix about it, please do help, cos it jumps up whenever I use Youtube or play some games. Even with WiFi the problem is same. Please help or tell some tricks on how you keep it low.
Sup bro. Search for corvus rom. Best ever. I use the 4.5 version.
Use better established ROMs like PE, LOS, crDroid, Evo X etc rather than some build by random dudes on the interwebs. I personally use crDroid and it delivers great battery life.
Hello all,
I tried all the custom ROMs available and they seem to have a high idle drain. I am loosing usually 10-20% per day which is extremely high in my opinion.
The Paranoid Android and Arter97's software collection seems to be slightly better but that is Android Pie based.
Is Android 10 the actual problem for the drain? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I never tried MIUI so I do not know how is the idle drain on the official OS but I had a Lenovo Tab 4 8" plus before and it was barely loosing 1% per day.
I hope I can find a good setup because at the moment there are not many options for a good 8" tablet. Even the Mediapad M6 8.4" is not produced anymore.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I use f2fs partitions on data and cache. I am not sure if that could cause any issue but on other devices I never noticed battery drain because of it.

yes. I'm facing same issue too. performance is owesome but idle battery got problem. have been try all android 10 for clover. all of them have the same issue . I don't think android 10 causes the problem because my lavender on miui android 10 battery life very good.
Turning off wifi works for me. When I do not need the device I just turn it off and the battery lasts much longer then when idle. have not really looked into it but I guess it is related to data usage or device not going to "deep" sleep
Yes, I had this issue with many custom roms, except Carbon rom. I've been running Carbon rom since I found this rom didn't have that issue, though it has less features than most of other roms

Yup, I second that. Also using carbon rom and idle drain is good
If you're using magisk then v20.4 have higher battery drain during idle. Try v20.3
