Hey guys, I don't care if the rom is Sense or not. I just need the best rom for battery life. Or best rom/kernal without underclocking or sacrificing speed. All input is helpful guys. Thanks
Nobody? Man is this forum dying? 4 months ago, this would be 2 pages by now.
I just got 46 hours up, 5 hours awake on rEVOlution 2.1 with the stock .17 kernel with the stock battery
I've pulled over 32 hours on Virtuous Sense with the customer Virtuous kernel. Granted I also have a Seido 1750 maH battery, well worth the investment though.
EDIT: I had approximately 15% life left at that check in also, so I could have kept going. Next time I'll take a screen shot.
im gettin pretty good life out of this combo
Skyraider 3.3.4
Chads kernel
also running superpower xda app turning off 3g on screen off
I also use the juice defender app. I'm a big fan of that.

+1 on that.
Excellent speed and battery life. Best quadrant scores I have had with any kernel. Even more impressive since it runs at stock speed.
Also pick up a 40% charge in less than an hour.
Myn's Warm 2 point 2 with Ziggys kernel

This one is best for me. I don't have to put my phone on the charger most days until I go to bed. If I ever use GPS in the car, I keep my phone charging while using it, with moderate use I can get by the whole day from 6 am till I go to bed.
I run Uncommon Sense 1.1 with SetCPU and JuiceDefender; I've been able to pull off up to 35 hours between charges with the stock battery and kernel.
I wanted to start a new thread comparing which GB roms have the best battery life....
I'm running CM7 and battery life isn't that great.

^THANKS^^ battery life on Simply honey 3.8 was pretty good....
This thread is a great idea, but let's put some numbers down rather then, "I get really good battery life!"
CM7: I get about 13 - 15 hours with minimal use on edge network.
Minimal use for me is about 2 or 3 phone calls about 30 seconds to a minute each. Less then ten text messages, very little to no web surfing. Check weather, look at news headlines.
Well, i have only tried CM7 and MIUI, wich is CM7 based, and to be honest, battery life is the reason that i came back to Froyo...just terrible batery life...i can't be charging my phone every 5-6 hours. On Froyo im using Super DragonModz on Project V, and i havent charged my phone in two days, and still its @ 25%...average/min use. Until GB gets good battery life, i might not be using another GB rom as a daily driver...
My battery just went down 2% on a 40 second phone call with my lady. Simply honey. It drains bad. This is my 4th cycle.

thats odd...have you tried doing a battery calibration....
anyways i get 10 hours on Revolution rom 2.0 with moderate use
moderate use -check xda couple times ,on h network always with background data ,some texting,3-4 30 second calls and ocing to 1.2ghz
Yea. I calibrated. I thought it was just a bad flash but after multiple flashes I had the same result.

Blitzkrieg 18 to 20hrs moderate use 3-4 hrs screen time one.
Pretty good if u ask me.
Screenie attached 30% batt left. Calibrated two days ago.
With every type of battery caliberation it takes a few cycles of charges for it to actually work. I use sgs tools and apply script and that deletes battery bin files. But doing that is not gonna take effect right away i hope u guys know that.
Im on cm7 and my battery usage is better then i expected. With me using either google music or Audio galaxy streaming for a 8 hour workshift and texting and websurfing during a lunchbreak and when that shift is done i still have about 20-to 30 % left sometimes as high as 40% But if im not streaming music and just doing normal things like playing cut the rope and web surfing and emailing, texing etc i can go on all day with out a charge. So maybe u guys have a bad battery???
Simply honey 3.8 was eating up 3-4% per hour just idling and much more when actually bring used. Back to Trigger.

simply honey 3.8 has really good battery life i get 19 hours moderate use with kb5 modem and OC'ed to 1.2 ghz
On Revolution Rom, I can get 16-17 hours of heavy use, which is flashing a new build almost every hour, going crazy on the battery life testing. But people have reported about 24 hours of battery with moderate use.
Asgard 3.0 and 3.1 Both are giving me 13-15 hours with moderate use gaming (my kid 45min-1 hour) internet use, tweeting, email and moderate to heavy phone use (20-40 calls per day) and 1 hour of tunein radio.
I got an average of 15 hours on Blitzkreig with 15-20 short (under 3 minute ) calls, 35-40 texts and an hour or so surfing.... plus a little gaming. I am at 5 hours on Asgard 3.1 and 78% battery.

I am running the Revolution Rom RC1 also and I'm getting about the same battery life. It's about the best that I have gotten on my phone, Bionix Final 2.1 aside. Great job, keep up the good work Ali.
Revolution ROM's battery life is pretty good.
Can't compare with others since I've just started flashing GB roms now (I had tried MIUI before but back then the battery sucked so much it doesnt even count)
thanks for starting this thread, it was just what i was looking for.
i used CM7 awhile ago and the battery life was pretty terrible so i switched back to froyo. so now i was looking around again for reports of battery life now after a couple months of waiting, and looks like its still pretty bad. i guess im still sticking with froyo.
but hey i still appreciate all the work the devs do to bring GB to the vibrant
with all the MINIMUM use or HEAVY use
can you guys post the screen on time with it to shows how heavy/ minimum you use....
I've been using Blitzkrieg for a week or so and at first it seemed really good but the last few days it has been draining fast for some reason. I also have had it reboot a couple of times while on the phone the last 2 days. I'm not sure if it's related....
Has anyone having issues with battery runs out drasticlly. Charge it and then with in minutes its dead. Get a full charge turn it off and back on then its dead.
I had that problem with my epic after flashing a custom rom. battery needs to be calibrated if it was not flashed at 100%. you can download battery calibration app from the market place.
Ya calibrate will help the readings but don't expect amazing battery. I have the seido expanded battery and it still can't make a day of heavy use.

I had this issue on a few ROMs, specifically the Anonymous i3. I would charge all night and by the time I got to work (1.5 hours on the bus) I would have only 50% or less battery from listening either to Pandora or other music and with 4G off. It's infuriating. I have not calibrated my battery as of the moment, however I did go to the RandomRom and my battery life is phenomenal in comparison so I would recommend (and my recommendations carry no weight because I am nothing more than a casual user who only recently began rooting) looking at what you are running and checking battery drain on other ROMs.
Your specific issue is calibration. Its that simple, its misreading you battery status

I figured that was likely it, but never worried about it since I still got good usage without ever calibrating. The anonymous i3 is the only one that didn't have decent battery life for me. Random has been the best so far, gets me about 10 hours with basic use.

I'll start, just benchmarked today, 18 hours (and running) and I have 25% of Juice Leftover. I've also got about 101 apps installed.
Connected to Wifi each time I go home, no 3g/ I'm roaming permanently due to no coverage in Oregon. No 4G either.. my sig says the rom.. Stock EC05, tailored to my liking.
And ur set up n how's ur coverage? Do u use wfi, 4g, rom?

So what is that, about 4 hrs of screen on time not including the text and email. That sounds pretty incredible. I'd like to know your setup too. Did you happen to have an extended battery with that or is that stock battery?
From cellblock D
I can get like 4.5 maybe 5 hours screen on time on eg22 stock deodex with eg22 plus kernel.
Edit-im on stock battery

I get upwards of 9-10 hours of screen time... epicurean v7 barebones. sync every hour and go launcher EX but i always keep my brightness on the lowest setting for everything. i dont go outside much during the day I txt all day long and take phone calls ranging from 5-45 minutes quite a few times. I unplugged my phone as it reached 100%, overnight it stayed at 100%!!!!! with ec05 it would be down to 45% by the morning, even on bonsai. I restarted just to make sure it wasnt stuck, nope still at 100% ive never seen that on a phone... 6h on without a percentage drop. Its still at 66% right now, ive been using it all day i expect to get 25 hours out of this charge. Simply amazing

What's your setup?
I'm on SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 with EC05. Stock Battery.
At 41% at 2am -- unplugged at about 10am this morning (~16h). About an hour on calls, an hour with screen on (texting and some videos), no signal 27% of the time. My stats would be more accurate if I hadn't rebooted an hour ago. Oh well. Forecasted to to last another 10-15 hours + if I don't charge tonight.
I would love to see the stats you're getting with the amount of usage I have! I might get 2 days or more on one charge, and that would be simply awesome! Though I'm pretty happy that SRF is giving me solid stats for a day.
Btw, I'm a noob at this, so the most information you can give about your setup will be super helpful. I just learned to root and flash different ROMs/kernels last week. Also, is the ROM/kernel combo you have stable and most everything works? So far in my brief research SRF 1.2 is the best out of all of those... but I guess to each his own no? Thanks for your help!

Well Its been over 24 hours and i still have 14% My stats are all jacked up because i had to reboot 6 hours ago, but i wont be doing any flashing tomorrow so I shouldnt have to reboot unless i get some erroneous FC. Ill post a screenie around this time tomorrow.
my setup is just like i said, EG22 modem, epicurean v7 no addons id guess that means im running it unjournaled, go launcher ex honeycomb theme, and a stock battery. using go sms and no facebook, twitter etc... id think they were a big drain. I flashed straight over the latest EC05 Bonsai, i thought its battery life was good, but even with undervolts it was still usually 8-10 hours, maybe. No undervolts or overclocks. my benchmarks arent great, but my phone runs cool, smooth and for much much longer. I thought i was tied to a charger before.
25 hours, and counting, i want to see how long it will go.
Honestly this one kind of snuck up on me. I wasn't trying for a really long life but it ended that way.
RandomRom 2.3.4 "Hawk", superfreeze enabled.
31 hrs on battery
3 hrs 45 min screen on.
I was using a stock battery but it is a new stock battery I just got it about a week ago.
12% left
i did plug it in for about 30 sec to get some files off of it.
yup
Well its been as long as im gonna stay up, but i pulled it off the charger this morning, i kept it on for the first hour using it, and it stayed at 100% for the first hour. ill just post pics. still at 40%
Nice, its funny, the other day, my Epic didn't last as long, it must be a woman with its Bi-Polrar self..

my phone only lasted about 6 hours last night with medium/heavy usage. Listening to audiobook, texting and emails. Stock EH06, stock battery. not great compared to 13+ hours on SFR 1.2
I'm going to second the bizweastness of RandomRom Hawk. In terms of battery life, I just got 28 hours on one charge.
Caveat 1. About 4 hours of that was me sleeping. But still.
Caveat 2. I changed Tegrak scaling to "Powersave".
Not sure if #2 really makes any difference at all... I'm trying "Conservative" now... would be curious to hear if anyone knows for a FACT that makes a difference.

Ok just now:
10.5 Hours on Cell Standby

I'm torn between RandomROM Hawk and Scrambled eggs epicurean v7... And to make matters more tough in choosing SRF 1.2 (with genocide 2.0 and EC05) is still at 71% after 15 hours... though with light use (55m screen on and 11h with wifi on).
What do you guys think as far as battery life and quality of the ROMs?
15 hours 44 min on, 30% left, display on for 3 h 10m played a fair amount of music and watched youtube for a while, text all day and took a few short phone calls. Epicurean is where its at for me, but im considering a nandroid and trying randomrom for a day, see whats up with it. Id just hate to ruin what i have now lol if i put it down and only text people to reply then it plateaus, i like that, there does seem to be some memory leakage somewhere though.
i was with srf up to 1.2, i found it to be buggy, and i got a lot of fc with it. i tried to use it, but after a week i gave up and switched to frankenstein which is a good rom, stable and fast but power hungry, i switched to bonsai then to epicurean... so far its the best.
ecooce posted this on EF02. I hear now he is using juice defender to help with low signal as he is working and screen is off, it cuts all radios. Edit, that's with 3300mah battery.

I am running CM7 on a D2 and i am experiencing pretty short battery life. I went from Liberty 2.0 rom on froyo last week, and upgraded to GB and flashed CM7.
I have barely used it much today for example. Took it off the charger at 6:30am have done nothing more than sent a few texts and browsed a website for about 10 mins. It is 10:30 and i am already at 70%
I did a proper battery stat reset this past weekend also.
(i have also been getting a lot of random force closes)

CM7 GB Battery Issues
I am having this problem as well. Ever since I rooted and installed Rev's CM7 GB build a few days ago battery life has been much worse. I tried installing Jake's Mods V13 but if it is helping it is not helping alot. Yesterday, made 2 short phone calls, sent 3-4 texts, browsed web for maybe 10 minutes total, and was on tweetdeck for maybe 15 minutes. By end of the day was down to 30% battery. Pre-root and CMY probably would have been about 60% - 70%. Here are the battery stats when plugged it in at bed time last night:
15h 16m 23s on battery
Cell Standby 55%
Phone Idle 19%
Display 13%
Voice Calls 9%
Android OS 2%
TweetDeck 2%
Has anyone figured out a solution to this? Really liking CM7 but I am afraid to play a game or something on the phone because I'm afraid I will run out of juice!
CM7 does have a shorter battery life than stock and some other ROMs. It's still the best ROM and it will eventually be back to better battery life. I use SetCPU and JuiceDefender.
Should I go into the CPU settings on my phone to find ways to increase my battery life? If so, which setting should I alter?
I have been using the 1Ghz/undervolt option in Jakebitesmod along with Juice Defender and it seems to be helping. Battery will usually last me all day with moderate use.
You might want to try SBFing back and starting from scratch. I was on Liquid 3.0 and has atrocious battery life due to the 'Idle' process and was seeing 10-15% battery life drop each hour when there was absolutely no use.
I switched to CM7 and things were much happier. Maybe 10% loss after 4 hours idle. FB app did drain the battery once but I think I backed out of it while it was loading so it was trying to load GPS or something but outside of that no battery life problems what so ever.
