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.

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.

I am using Resurrection Remix 16/04 build for a month now. I am getting 5-5.5 hours of screen on time. But I need to charge it in the evening for it be usable. It was not the case in MIUI. Is battery life better in MIUI ? Which custom rom is best for battery life ? I am not a heavy user just social media, youtube etc.
I used Nitrogen OS Oreo and battery was bad. I reverted to last miui stable and battery now is good.

Yeah same I am also thinking of going back to MIUI. There the battery life is good and I am facing LTE signal fluctuation every now and then on all custom roms. Don't know if its a common bug.
customised lineage umang nougat wth shadow kernel
It could be better if other people will share their tests
Aug 2017 build of viper os is best for battery......

You can check [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][8.1.0][kenzo] LineageOS 15.1[Nightlies]. I've moved to this ROM from NOS 8.1, when SOT times were decreasing (3-4 hours, even of WiFi) and I'm quite surprised with SOT on LOS. Please keep in mind, this SOT is only linked to WiFi - I didn't used mobile data at all with this charge. I'm using latest Agni kernel.
I can also post statistics using mixed usage (WiFi + mobile data) someday, if you are interested.

Hi guys,
I'm a new Poco user. I've checked out the forums and saw lots of ROMs, Kernels and even Recovery software. I'm a bit overwhelmed for the first time as I'm liking stock MIUI 10 for now. Can someone enlighten me on which ROM has the most features, what ROM is the most stable, which kernels go best with which?
Stability: BaikalOS, Pixel Experience
Powersave: BaikalOS
Customizability / Extra Features: Resurrection Remix, crDroid, Havoc-OS / POSP
Performance: Nitrogen OS, crDroid
Pixel Like: Havoc-OS, Pixel Experience
These are the ones I know but haven't tested all of them. Tell me if I'm missing any.

Wow thanks. Does BaikalOS have the app cloning feature? How good is the battery life compared to MIUI 10?
best kernels
Sphinx and Franco kernel
Best roms
Lineage and stock
Stock is of course the most stable, but the beta builds always have bugs they always remove settings add settings fix something break something.

It doesn't have the app cloning and battery life is a lot better if you manage the background apps strictly but you still have to install it and test it yourself.

There is no best rom or best kernel, it all comes down to personal preference...
Lineage Pie with Franco kernel.
..and go with pixel experience only if u r into very stock version which I think is overrated given its customization limitations.
I have always hated chinese ROMs or apps, take MIUI for example they have like hundreds of apps injected into core system (miui security, miui contacts, miui dialer, miui messaging, miui this that and what not...)

Do you know if Lineage OS has the signal issue fixed on it? I only really moved away from it because of that. Im on crDroid and my signal is much better now

Hi fellow Flip! Yeah I went with Ambasidii rom based on stock MIUI since I need the cloned app feature for ROM (Slave priest). It's rooted and has derp kernel. Battery life is quite a lot better. I was redownloading all my apps overnight and it only drained about 7% of battery life which is 1% more than full stock on idle without WiFi.
By the way, do you do a battery recalibration once you switch roms? Standby time is fantastic on mine but it seems to drain a little harder while playing ROM compared to stock.

There's no need to recalibrated when switching roms. Recommended calibrating your battery ( each month or every three months )
android phones this days use lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-po) batteries for Poco F1 . This batteries don’t need to be fully discharged, and come with smart chips that make calibration unnecessary and that's the good thing for us.
Just want to share this method , i do this all the time after switching custom roms.
First, drain your phone’s battery completely. Don’t charge it at any point while it’s draining. Let the phone keep working till it shuts itself off. Once the phone has shut itself off, restart it so it shuts off again. Even though the battery was at 0 percent, it has a few reserves left. Now, while the phone is off, charge it to 100 percent. It’s safe to use quick chargers for this, but make sure you hit 100 percent. Once it’s fully charged, unplug it and boot your phone. Android might not say it’s at 100 percent, and that’s okay. In that case, plug the charger again and let it get to 100 percent. then unplug it. This cycle of full drain and recharging lets the chip calibrate its readings with the battery’s charge cycle.
hope that helps:good:

What signal issue exactly? I'm trying Lineage at the moment and using Derp Kernel.

Thanks mate!
Hello fellow Pocophoniacs!! I am on MIUI EU rom now. Not any problems but I was wondering if there is any custom rom that can have the same or even better battery but that also has good camera. The same photo quality at least. Any to recommend?
Are you on the latest eu rom? How's the battery life?
I'm on 10.3.4
Battery is great. I have no problem. The only reason I want to change rom is to see other stuff and because I always had oneplus phones so I'm more of a Aosp style rom. But in less than 10 days I will need to have a stable phone with the best possible camera because we are expecting our baby girl to arrive. So I can't install any problematic roms now. That's why I'm not testing and I'm waiting for users to tell me.
What's the difference between MI EU rom vs MIUI global rom?
I was wondering the same thing. I used the Xiaomi.EU rom a few months back and the battery life wasn't so good, so i changed to LineageOS. The energy consumption in this ROM is very minimal, but it's also lacking features. I want to go back to Xiaomi.EU, but if the battery life hasn't gotten better it's not worth it.
So LineageOS has good battery. Good to know. How about the photo quality?

You can test the Gcam on MIUI, possibly, that will be the camera app you use in any custom ROM.
Mi Globe Rom
The best rom for Camera and battery. I have been on the latest Mi-Globe rom - Stable 10.3.4.0 (PEJMIXM) - for the past 1 week.
Awesome camera, great stability, light and excellent battery life. I get almost 6 hours SOT with about 25% remaining after 1 and a half days usage.
Additionally you may use Google camera port if you require more...
