I'm trying to deal with cm7 but little things are killing me (battery life stinks even with extended battery, I watch my battery fall with the screen on, it's good when it's not though. Constant problems with my lock screen freezing, etc). I'd like to find a rom thats 100% stable, aosp is preferred, but not a must. Any recommendations?
Thanks

I alway found CM6 and Miui 2.2 roms to give great battery. Not sure if you were looking to stay with gingerbread though...
Cm7 just isn't as good as cm6 that's all I will say. My battery life on cm7 was not so great. I switched to miui for the first time yesterday and my 10hrs turned into 15hrs already with 50% left. Usually in about 10hrs my cm7 is on about 10% left. I actually have a pic to prove it lol.

With CM7, I usually get 12 hours to 50%, 18-20 hrs to 20%. If your battery life is that bad, I would try calibrating that battery and checking for wakelocks.
Also, try decks gingerbread which is based on CM7, but gets better battery life. You can find it under the thread "yet another AOSP ginger ROM."

+1 to this, I get great battery life with Deck's
I installed cm6.1.2 and so far all is well. I don't really have any reasons to stay with ginger bread, the only thing I even noticed from it was the screen off animation. I rarely use 4g, so its not a big loss on that. Any recommended kernels for cm6.1.2?

I'm all about Tiamat
Destroyer v 2 with savage zen kernal and I can make it two full days with mild-moderate use. Heavy use will still make it all day. By far this is the best battery life I've gotten.
When I switched to Tiamat I started getting great battery life on CM7. I can get 18+ hours on it, easy.
can you still use CM7 themes with decks?
I get 15 hours with cm7 SZ kernel with moderate use
When I check the batt stats in settings, "phone standby " always has over 50% someone knows why?
This has been looking good and it was just updated this morning with no issues..

Buy 5 batteries then you will never be out of power.
CM7 (every nightly) and latest Tiamat. I leave BT and WIFI on always, without *trying* to preserve battery, and I easily last from 7AM to 7PM with no charging... running pandora for at least an hour in the morning off WIFI, and some in-car BT Pandora streaming... no 4G use, and tons and tons of texts and internet browsing. Same use on other kernels would have killed my phone in 4 hours easily. I used to be able to watch the battery indicator drop. Sense ROMS were pretty bad too.
Whats wakelocks?
Deck's + Tiamat = win
http://imgur.com/LE54H.png
I suggest finding a kernal for your rom. Tiamat is a great choice.
Also, are you coming from sense? If so, resetting your battery stats might help.
I've had great luck with Vaelpak 3.2 rc1 and rc2, both with there stock kernel and 4.3.2 CFS SBC HAVS MORE. I mainly use my phone for texting and Facebook. On a typical day of moderate texting, Facebook and a few hours of calls I'm getting roughly 16 hours. If I use juicedefender and setcpu I can stretch it out even more. Vaelpak 3.2 is a non-sense rom and is very stable. Out of 4 or 5 roms that I have used this is the most complete and full Rom were everything works. Been using vaelpak for over a month now and haven't found anything better...
Evo 4g
Vaelpak 3.2 RC2
This has been my biggest struggle so far as well. Finding a rom that is both useful and does not kill my battery...I just rooted last weekend and so far have tried at least 5 roms looking for the one that I really get along with and like the looks of, etc. All I cal say so far about roms and such is trial and error...keep flashing till you find one that fits.

Ok, so there was a lot of discussion in Z's FreeX10 thread regarding whether it improved/worsened battery life, so I am running a little experiment. With the aid of Juiceplotter I ran for a few days on FreeX10b4, and then on the stock(ish) Rooted JIT 2.1.A.0.435 found here.

Beta 4 Over 24 Hours
Beta 4 Zoomed in on a period of use
Stock .435 over 24 Hours
Stock .435 zoomed in on a period of use (not the same day as the first image)
Typical use is just web browsing, not games or videos. It certainly looks a little steeper on the Beta4 graph.
Tomorrow I'll flash to the previous baseband and repeat for beta3 vs. Stock. If anyone knows how to make the pictures smaller I'd be grateful... I know how to do it in HTML but I've never posted anything in PHP before!
26/02/2011 Ok, after much delay I'm now running .49 baseband, flashed using Zhidhu's pre-rooted 2.0.2.A.24 found here. As some in the comments have noted, results seem to vary wildly w.r.t. battery life, which is why I thought I'd run tests on them all using the same handset and the same usage (i.e. mine) which should eliminate most variables.
Mine is the best it's ever been personally... Seems like results are extremely varied.
I get a vary of result for example today it has used 49% of the battery in 4 hours o.0

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I think there may be a bit of a battery or power glitch. My phone has stopped charging a couple of times, once at 74%, the other at 92%, and the battery has got quite hot. A swift reboot sorted it.
Generally, I think FreeX10 may be a bit heavier on the battery, but it's really hard to tell because it's so much nicer to use compared to the stock ROM that I think I'm using the phone lots more than I was :-D

I had some woeful battery time with Freex10Beta3, but then yesterday it was fantastic - sure, I wouldn't get 3 days out of it, but I could have pushed 1.5 easily...
Trouble with battery life is that it isn't an exact science (should be), but it seems you can change nothing, and have some drastic improvements. Or hardly touch the phone one day and it's dead in no time.
My X10 since new always drains my battery in one day, it's not a hardware problem, since i got a replacement, and then a battery replacement, i wish we could improve the batttery life a little more
i'm on BETA4
I'm not gonna say my battery life has been amazing lasting for weeks or anything but ive had no problem with it. I mean it lasts more than a day or maybe more than two with relatively light usage. And if I'm constantly on it I can drain it in 8hrs but I never drain it completely. And I've seen consistent life over the roms I've used as long as the flash was good which sometimes takes a couple times. My mom has one and she uses it only sparingly and it lasts over a week so in reality for having a computer in your pocket the life is not that bad. Besides do you really need to update your twitter status every 6 minutes??

Nice Idea.
Personally I found that the battery life on Beta 2 was better than Beat 3 and 4.
Is is possibile to add it to your test?
Also the only only diffrence between Beta 3 and Beta 4 is the Baseband...
That's really what I'm testing... however I haven't had time to flash back to the old baseband yet. Real life tends to interfere...

Using Bitsnacker's 2.1 ROM on .435; no data, BT, GPS and STILL a strange battery leak I can't seem to trace. F.Y.I. also using SetCPU and AutoTaskiller, and a few Sysctl tweaks, so I may have created conflicts in my ignorance....
I've had a couple of times, since using b4 a weird thing where I plug it in and it drains really fast down to zero while charging. Rebooting seems to fix it though.
If it happens on b3 or stock 2.0.2.A.0.24 I'll know it's a fault with the handset and not a software issue.

- No setCPU, but kernel has one built in.
- No bump charging.
- Light use, I purposely tried to not use it too much just because I was curious how long it could make it (like if I were ever stuck somewhere without a charger, knowing how long my phone could last if I did not constantly stay on it).
~ 1.5 hours of 3G pandora
~45 mins of texting
~30 mins phone calls
~20 minutes of 'My Tracks' app
~15 mins GPS navigation
~10 mins angry birds (tehehe, couldn't resist)
3G, GPS and location were ON entire time.
Thought I'd share
since skyraider is a sense rom you can use that kernel?
i thought incredikernal was AOSP?
edit:
i'm retarded.
was thinking of the new incredikernal. fail on my part!
invisiblek is AOSP, incredikernel is Sense
(actually chad aka incredikernel is starting to develop some new GingerBread AOSP kernels)

2150mAh definitely, Kernel next and Skyraider after that. I saw noticeable improvements when I used Sky Raider over stock, and used chad's incredikenel over stock so I feel they have significant improvements on battery life for sure.
With screen off I'll get about 1.5 hours per %, with screen on and doing things it's completely different.
Much of this test was to see how long it would last with screen off and with those services (like 3G) running.
Very impressive. Don't think I can go over 24 hours with stock battery, CM7 and incredikernel.
I think I can get 24 hours, with reasonable use. I use juice defender which REALLY helps a lot - at least in my life.

the 2150 makes the phone so ugly and disfigured I couldnt use it. I am running SR3.5 but I get great batt life with Lou #8 kernel and the 1800mah Inc/Evo batt.
Unfortunately battery problems will be around for a while, did you hear the rumors about the T-bolt batt? LOL, 3 totals hours on a full charge! These "phones" or whatever you want to call them are so powerful and do so many different things its hard to design a strong battery at that size. Phone management is crucial.
thats impressive, im still using my stock battery and I'm tired of worrying about it dying and bump charging

I too got some crazy long battery life on Skyraider 3.5. Only reason I left was because ihtfp is no longer supporting them. When I tried MIUI for the 3rd time I really got into it (using LP) but I haven't been able to reproduce that awesome battery life I had on SR... Yet, at least.
I also dearly miss the Awake Time stat. All aosp roms should have that.

And about the thunderbolt only lasting 3 hours?

I thought HTC would have learned from the incredible that they seriously need to upgrade the battery. I hope they do a full redesign where they stick just a long battery down the entire back of the phone so people don't have to get extended batteries that bulge out.

As far as I concerned, there are plenty kernels for GS2: KE2, KE7, KE8, KF1, KF2, KF3, KF4, KG1.
But after I flashed the [2.3.4] VillainROM 2.0 for SGS2, I tried two different kernel, they are KG1 and KF2. But I found out KF2 works way better, it can last about 8 more hours than KG1. The kernels are from

I did full wipe before I flash the ROM. I use Odin3 v1.85 flash the kernel in the download mode and works perfectly.
SO, the only difference is battery life.
UPDATED:
This morning's screen:
Around 3% drop after 7h.
Not really remarkable, but I guess KF2 is better.
What do you guys suggest?
Please, tell me which kernel you are using, the Rom and the battery life.
Screen shot is WELCOME!
Cheers!
kernel
That sounds unlikely. I didnt test it yet but i will test it. Atm i have KG1.
a question a bit off-topic: Can I flash an stock kernel of a different ROM to my current ROM?
For example:
I'm using the KF3 spanish ROM (2.3.3). Can I flash only the kernel of KG1 (2.3.4) to my ROM?
I have KF2 for a while now, I'm very happy with it.
Did a test a few days back, went to sleep and put the phone in airplane mode, battery was 87%.
When I woke up (8.5 hours later) battery was 85%.
A 2% drop in 8.5 hours, not bad.
While i have no evidence, I too believe this to be true, when i first got the phone I was on KF2, lasted ages, now it struggles for 10 hours. I don't fully understand the android OS so i just do as the ROM devs tell me.
Bit more complicated than just a kernal is battery drain .
Firmware modem apps running all can play a part .
jje
I am using litening ROM 2.1 with KG1 kernel for a few days now and I think battery was better on KF2 so I switching back to KF2. I participate in the poll when I am sure which gives more battery life.
Off-topic: I have lost count about the number of updates that Samsung released in different parts of the world. But sure that there were atleast couple of updates for every region.
Once the GS2 is released in US (if at all it's released there), there will be 1 update in 12 months and there will be countless articles in every blog. Somehow updates just don't roll out in US.
KF3 Kernel KE7 modem Villain 1.4 rom no battery complaints .
Once 2.3.4 becomes a full release i shall try that .

Could you post your screen capture of the battery usage, either of the kernels would be fine. If you can post both of them, I will be really appreciate that.
I will post my screen tomorrow.

I don't think a kernel has too much to do on battery life. But Push email exchanges, Active Sync and some apps. Use ATK, problem solved.
I'm using Lite'ning 2.1, bloatware removed, sync on - I take my phone off charge at 8.30am, it's normally on my desk not being used for around 3 hours and unless I start using it, the batt has never dropped below 100%.
I'd like to leave it longer to see just how long it will stand by for on 100% but I want to use me phone!

I am having trouble with the batter at the moment. I am using villainrom 2.0 with KF2 now, using xda app for about 25min and my 13% is gone. Last night, I am using KG1, I turned the phone into the flight mode, after 9h, the battery drained from 98% to 26%. That was really strange. I have nearly 150 apps installed, most of them are small simple apps like for finance, business, social networking, tools, not much background running apps.

While the Android OS bug still reigns supreme, stock KG1's battery life is unparalled for me, as long as I keep WiFi off. With WiFi on, Android OS is always higher than 50% and the battery life is crap, but it has always been like that on all kernel versions up to now.

Just thought I'd give a quick review of Cyanogen Mod 7 battery life and performance.
Standby battery drain of about 1.5%/hr with 3G, backround data on, auto-sync on, wifi on, GPS on.
I've never obtained such great battery life on any stock rom or stock-modified rom (I've tried a few different ones over the last year or so)
The performance is also much better than any of the stock-based roms (no lags).
No need to create new topic for that information.

Which nightly are you using? Which kernel?
After a night my Galaxy S is always dead. I solved the problem disabling 3g connection and sync. Stock rom 2.3.3 and semaphore kernel.

I used to always hear about CM7 having god-awful battery life. I don't know if people were lying or if they fixed some major bugs, but I certainly have no complaints about my phone's battery life (running CM7, of course). I get through way more than a day.

That's my current battery stats. Haven't used the phone too much the last little while, but getting over 24 hours is not uncommon—I actually very rarely see my phone last for under 24 hours, and that's usually because of 5+ hours of screen on time. For that battery, I'd say about 75 texts, 30 minutes of phone calls, and about 30-60 minutes of web browsing. Fairly light use, but nevertheless, the battery life on CM7 is nothing to complain about.
EDIT: Looks like something was causing a wakelock the last ~6-8 hours while I was asleep, causing my phone not to deep sleep. If that hadn't of happened, it would still have quite a bit more battery (when I went to bed it was 44%, so it shouldn't have dropped to 27%—it should have dropped to ~40%). This just proves my point even more: battery life on CM7 is not bad at all.
seriusly?
do you see any battery change in that period compared to one earlier ))
when it was awake on your funny screenshot it was discharging with the same when the phone was not awake acordding to that stats so no impact registered

thats using juicedefender to activate the data connection when screen turns on, emails still push to phone straight away with gmail so it is fine for me.
WIFI seems to drain the battery a bit quicker but not enough for me to bother flashing different kernels
I saw someone who did 2 WEEKS without charging. Normal using with black wallpaper on 2g network.
seems to be even better on ics... the best i had was ~2% per 8 hours...

As you can see, with the Seidio 3500 battery, I get 36 hours on a charge. It takes sometimes 8 hours or so for the battery to reach absolute full charge. Meaning when plugged in to wall charger, thw mA input is 0 on battery monitor widget.

the 2 spikes are not charges, that is when I did a reboot. I was having trouble getting an app to close completely, so I rebooted the phone to see if I could get it to shut off that way and it worked.
It also does not show that I played Solitare for 5 hours, and spades for 4 hours on there. Not sure why. I was in waiting rooms a few times yesterday and had lots of just sitting time to blow.
im gunna get a siedeo soon, this just got me more excited =] as long as my battery last me all day ill be very happy
Well, the battery will last all day for sure, but if you dont charge with sbc it will never ever charge past 70% capacity no matter what you try.

I think that there are sbc kernels for the asop roms. I am a sense man.

There is no current Sense gingerbread kernel with SBC. Apparently there are issues with it (not sure, I try not to compile kernels).
OP> I'f your swapping ROM's every day after charging the battery, why not use an AOSP rom with a current SBC kernel? Just curious, because if something comes up where you need the phone asap and don't have a chance to reboot it back to the gingerbread rom, you may run into problems with the radios being built for gingerbread but the rom running froyo.
jroller > no, the lionfish line is not SBC. the more is just the amount of under-volting involved.
To boot between the two really isn't a big issue and while you are booted to the Froyo rom your phone will still be able to make/recieve calls, texts, emails and everything else you might like if it's set up.
The OP probably prefers a Sense Rom so that's why they are not using an AOSP rom i would venture to guess.

I use Boot Manager to change between ROMs, it only takes the same amount of time to switch as it does to reboot the same ROM.
Boot Manager is a really cool app once you get the ROMs set up correctly.
And I dont like any ASOP ROMs at all. I tried them, just not for me.
Just get a external battery wall charger, just pop the battery in and it will be done in a few hours. Cheap on ebay.
