Well, I know that most ROMs claim to have better battery life and yada, yada, yada. But which one do you believe is the winner? I have only tried Fresh other than stock and I can't complain. But for you, which one do you feel offers the best battery life performance?!
Thanks in advance...
I got great battery life in DamageControl, but I dumped that for CyanogenMod.
This may not be the exact answer you were looking for, but I've found that using an underclocking kernel I get great battery life, even with the latest cyanogen nightly. You might want to try using SetCPU if you haven't done that already.
DamageControl
DamageControl v3.2.3 using DConfig with the profile set to battery Saver. My battery last for days (moderate use).
I believe t0ast3d de1ight has the best battery

All very subjective but I've been reading that Baked Snack is specifically geared towards battery life.
like above poasts state, rom does not matter, undervolt kernal + setcpu/phone setting settings does
cm heavy usage > 18 hours regular use 36 hours idle for days
Best I had was baked snack 9. 7 I got al most 24 hours on a charge with normal usage
Ava 2. 2v3 I. Got 18 hours
Cm6 barely 8 hours

I second this. I was using this setup before updating to official 2.2. I was getting about 5-6 hours of usage(I.e. When you're actually using your phone--Screen on browsing the web, using apps) plus around 20 hours of "Uptime" (standby, screen off).
I am getting equal or better battery life with the official 2.2 update. I am surprised I'm not seeing more people mention just how good battery life is with it.
BakedSnack with 3rd kernel did miracles for me

I also have been having good battery life on the official pre-release, just about on par with what I had running baked snack 9.6, which underclocked a good amount for battery life. Very pleased with the new release, I haven't had any problems going from a fresh wipe to this update.
I would bet most people haven't really noticed how good the battery life has been because they've been busy trying to restore backups, apps, and test out the camera functionality.
Best battery life I had was DC 3.2.3 with Battery config, SetCPU w/ undervoltage kernel, JuiceDefender, and Autostarts configed. Got about 26 hours moderate usage. I still get excellent battery life using the same setup on CM6, around 20-24 hours.
I'm getting great battery life with the leaked, stock 2.2
I think it is almost impossible to prove a rom has the best battery life when there are so many options/tweaks that can be done to every rom and all phones won't necessarily act the exact same.
Choose a rom based on functionality and features that appeal to you and then figure out how to obtain the battery life you want through different tweaks/usage. They all can have great battery life.

I believe people that have tried multiple ROMs can accurately assess which is better/worse in terms of battery life. Obviously there can be variations due to tweaks, apps, and usage, but it isn't difficult to get a sense of where you stand. I know I noticed a drastic increase coming from stock to Fresh.

True, what I should have said was without testing yourself and keeping variables the same, you can't just take the word of others.
I wanted to start this thread mostly because I haven't found anything like it, but also because I need to know myself
Being the good flashaholic fiend that I am, as well as a monstrous fan of the Open Source, I run between AOSP/CM Roms, and Touchwiz roms for my Note 3.
While I absolutely love the vanillaness of CM/AOSP, what I've found over the last few weeks is that I am getting about 1/2 the battery life I do on a Touchwiz Rom with about the same amount of usage, using Shinto kernel and/or LeanKernel (about the same batter life give or take an hour).
For instance, I'm on a ZeroLemon 10,000Mha battery. With the Rom in my Sig, I can get about 4 days with moderate usage... while on a CM/AOSP rom, I'm lucky at best to get 2 days.
Why is this? Especially because there are a lot more processes running on the TW rom?
What are your opinions?
Same here man, found the battery life in s5 port rom better than Cm11

So... i did find better battery life with CM11... but an AOSP rom is noticably horrid... and still TW roms seem to be better than both.
All tests are using LeanKernel same version... all configured the same in terms of the kernel.
Anyone have any ideas why this is?
Because TW rom are optimized with material and not AOSP who are generics . ...
I think i got a decent setup now for CM11
Tasker to Greenify almoat eberythin on screen off. Pixel Battery Saver on Medium
Underclocked to 1.9Ghz with burst to 2.2Ghz.
300Mhz at screen off.
Looking at 73% battery left with 14.5 hrs off charger and just over 3 hours screen in time. Wifi is always on... and i do about a half hour gaming... 2 hour chromecast thru plex and about 2 hours bluetooth music streaming
Yes... I have a zerolemon
I thought my battery was doomed.. Until I tried a Note 7 Port. For some reason I get MUCH better battery life on the ports than "stock" custom roms.
On ports I get almost zero drain and 1-1.30 hours per 10% and that is while my phone is even in the pocket most of the day (low standby drain). On the other hand on every stock rom, after the same day, same usage and same apps I have around 45min SOT and down to 70%.
I think Android System is the culprit, but there are still people having amazing battery life on "stock" roms. So how do you stop this Android System drain? It's clearly fixed on the Note 7 and there might be months before we get the updates where the note are now.. But I like stability by far, so would like to go back to stock, if I could stop the drain.
Thanks in advance
i am curious to know which custom roms and kernel you guys use for great battery life
I use rr with heart empty battery full app and I get approx 2 days of charge
I used RR until yesterday, used it 4 days. All screens from battery time are here (click on "Bateria" to see them).
Hi dears,
I am on stock Android 8.1 DP2. I barely get 5 to 6 hours on average use and 4 hours of screen on time which is bad for a 3400 mAh battery.
I am planning to root my phone to get the best possible battery performance along with some Pixel 2 features if possible.
Based on your experience, which ROM have it best when it comes to battery life?
It is a bit hard to test all the ROMs
Thanks all.
All the 8.1 ROMs are turning out quite nice. If it's pixel features you want try SuperXe stock version. 4 hours SOT is ok with me the higher amperage charging makes up for the difference.
