ROM & Kernel with the best battery life?

Hi, so far the only rom I have used is CM6, and the battery life is just absolutely terrible. Maybe its just my nexus, maybe not, point is I want a new ROM.
A ROM that you guys have tried and decided to stick to.
Battery life is VERY important to me.

Try IntersectRaven's CFS kernel, best I have found for CM
For ROM try Enomther, battery life pretty good on that one

I had been using CM 6 for a while and just recently switched over to Enomether's latest TheOfficial ROM. The battery life is now DRAMATICALLY better. Just looking over the Juice Plotter graphs shows that the standby time overnight is almost flat. Say 3-4% drop every 3 hours or so. With CM6, the battery level is on a constant and steeper decline, even when not in use. I didn't take any records, but my N1 on CM6 would be down to ~45-50% overnight if I forget to plug in the charger (from full). I heard that SetCpu will help, but I don't think it worked out for me.
Enomether has its own CPU Governor and while it doesn't offer as many features as SetCPU - the ROM's default settings work well right out of the box - no tweaking is needed really for the CPU governor.

I too was having really poor battery life with CM6, losing about 50% within 8 hours after charge, without even using the phone much! I'm trying out other roms right now just for fun. I'm using Evil's Nxsense but with the kernal posted by Autinhyeu (post # 8541 in that thread). So far seems to be holding battery extremely well. About 5 hours since charge and about 90% battery.

LeoFroYo Rom is pretty good with battery

try the leofroyo rom latest beta. i get great battery in standby with the stock kernal that it comes with. 2.5 hrs per 1% battery. typically in a day making calls and using the internet, i lose about 30%-25% battery. not too bad.

cm sucks when it comes to battery life in my experience. i tried the 6.0 version when it came out (first stable release) and battery life was horrible.
5 hours since charge? only standby or some usage?

That was mostly standby with setcpu profile setting cpu to minimum when the screen was off. But even with those same settings on CM6 my battery would be about 70% after the same amount of time.
I just reflashed cm6 but with that other kernal so I'll see how well it works today.

MIUI has the best battery life of any ROM I've used on my N1.. idle drain of about .5% / hour when using pershoot's kernels from droidbasement.

I'm using shadow rom2.1 stripped down and I get about 16 to 18 hours usage.

I'm using CM6 and my battery life is great. I got rid of my Seidio extended battery to get an Otterbox case and the stock battery on CM6 is awesome.
My phone has been off the charger since before 1pm and now at midnight its on 46% and thats with heavy use of Angry Birds, text, emails and web browsing !

My battery life is also acceptable on cm6. Not amazing but acceptable. Then again I put mine in airplane mode overnight and get about a 4% drain, which I kind assume might be something to do with my Widgets.

Okay, so I decided to try one of these two ROMs:
Enomther
LeoFroYo
not sure which one yet, and not sure what kernel to use with the ROM I choose.
I hate switching ROMs cuz of the wiping and restoring and all that crap.

Battery Life Potential Reason......

Ok, first up I am not a developer, not would I know how to develop for the phone.
With that said, I've noticed a repeatable chain of events that I think have caused at least in my own situation poor battery life from certain modems.
I noticed that after flashing for instance KA7 on top of a previous installation of KA5, KA6 or even JK6 that battery life of the new KA7 modem was horrific. My base ROM was usually always Nero or Bionix
Then I completely changed to the new Bionix-V ROM which is based on KA7 and voila, my battery life is great.
Could it be that the process of flashing different modems causes some kind of internal confusion with the phone that relates to undesirable battery life?
Just an idea, but it's like I said something I have been able to repeat, and perhaps others have had the same experience.

Instead of responding with a useless post and armchair modding, you could just not post at all and let the moderators do their job. It's posts like yours that cause people to run out of here. Just blatantly rude.

I don't know, but I think it's possible. Sometimes, flashing over causes every kind of problems. Why not?

Isn't that the reason why we clear battery memory after a flash? So that there is no confusion. :-\

Never underestimate the power of placebo
Reset the battery stats via recovery and after a full cycle or two you probably won't notice poor battery.

I should have added that I ALWAYS wipe battery stats when making modem/ROM changes - following the usual guidelines.
However, my experience still exists.
Specifics:
Nero V3 Running Voodoo+JK6 = Approx 30 hours battery on light/medium use
Nero V3 Running Voodoo+Updated KA7 = Approx 12-16 hours with same usage
Bionix V running Voodoo+KA7 = Approx 30-36 hours with same usage
It's not placebo - it's a measurable, noticeable difference.

i get good battery ;life out of stock ka7 no bloat prolly around 30h and for instance i had bionix and my battery was sucked up llike no tomorrow thats why i am back on stock

I think the PLACEBO may more correct answer, Since JK2 and on battery has been not a real issue. Every time you flash a new modem etc, if you think you need to (I do not think it is all that important) go into recovery and go in advanced and do the clear battery stats and go from there......
The only Time i have ever had a real issue with the battery life with custom ROMS is when using over-clock roms.
Other than that, I would guess you are using the phone different every day, and do not think so imho. That is a more likely cause of battery performance or lack thereof.

with bionix my battery lasted half less

Is has a lot to do with how much battery you have left when you flash a rom. I always flash with a complete full charge and never really see a difference in battery life going from rom to rom. My battery always last about a day and a half with every rom I have tried. Also I have not once wiped battery stats. This is only needed if you do flash with a battery that is not fully charged.

I apologize but take away about 10 hours of just idling while your sleeping at night, that doesn't count... I could keep my phone asleep with no widgets, 0% brightness, etc. but what's the fun?
As long as your phone lasts you the day, or as long as you need it to, you shouldn't be worried about it going for a week on one charge...

exactly.
Your battery needs to last maximum of 15 hours, unless if you work 24/7.
your going to end up charging it at night so why the hell do you care?

I'm curious about the 20+ hour battery life cases if you have background sync enabled.
I just requested a new battery as my old one I believe is going bad. Running JFD --> JK6 --> JK7. Charged battery to 100% while off over 3 days. (Letting sit all day at 25% 75% and 100%). Resetting battery stats tonight and staying at 100%. I'll see how the new battery compares. (My old battery life was 8-10 hours max).

can we mod the vibrant so if we shake it hard and long enough battery will charge like in those those flashlights ,

5 hours of battery life on Evo with CM7 Build 6 or 7

Hi all!
I have been using CM7 RC1 for a while, and recently upgraded to Builds 6 and 7 in order to get 4G working.
I did not wipe when flashing 6 or 7; just flashed the ZIP from the recovery.
Where I would have previously gotten 18-24 hours of use, I now get 4 or 5! It's amazing.
I'm 4h17m off the charger. Display time is 17% (1h33m), Cell standby is 29% (TWOS 6%), Maps is 20% (used it for a little bit while in the car), Phone idle is 17%, and Wi-Fi is 14%. Battery life is at 9 percent.
I'm just surprised at the bad battery life, especially after having real good life in CM7 RC1. Nothing of substance has changed other than flashing Builds 6 and then 7.
Like I said, I did not wipe anything before flashing. Should I have? I might try it, just to be sure...
Others who have CM7 Builds 6-8, could you tell me how your battery life is now compared to RC1? Is it noticeably different? This has been a tremendous drop-off for me, and I'm suspecting this must be some sort of fluke.
Thanks for the input!

This doesn't belong in Development Section.

You're right. My bad. If there's a mod around, please move it!

More than likely it's because of the lack of wipe.
also, hit up the sig for additional stuff if you're still having issues

I'm having the same issue, flashed yesterday, I was fully charged when I flashed CM7, but I spent about an hour playing with the phone and was at 60% when I left the house to go to work. My phone died within 4 hours, it was on standby all that time as I didnt get a chance to play with it. It was hard to gauge if the Rom caused the drain or if it was because it was already low on juice. This moring I was at 100%, flashed the Savage 1.0 Kernal (in the hope that it would enhance the battery life), reset the battery stats when the phone was at 100%, it stayed there for about 26 mins then went down to 99% (on standby for 26 mins). I left the house, put my phone away at work, received 2 emails, 1 missed call in 5 hours and the battery is at 46% WTF!!!! I really like this ROM, but I really need to know what is causing the issue. The setup is the same as I had on the last 2 ROMS in regards to WIFI and GPS - bluetooth is always off.
Not running on fresh (for now anyways!)

Yeah this issue has been plauging me for awhile. I'm all for system panel pro (love the app; one of the first apps I bought), but it won't help in this instance. The problem is that the battery isn't charging as fast as the numbers say they are. The easiest fix (sadly, as I hate the risk) is an SBC kernel. That way, even though your meter will say 100, it will keep charging till it actually gets to 100. Without SBC, your phone will think it gets to 100 from 50 in an hour (it's probably at about 75) and will just start dying down to 65 (instead of 100 to 90). This means that you could unplug your phone at around 50 percent even though it says 100. The SBC is a good way to confirm, as is just turning off the phone and bump charging (check the link in my sig for the how-to). I'm really curious as to what is going on with the battery meter readings, maybe some dev can comment.
Hope I helped!

I'm using build 6 with Savaged-Zen kernel and I'm getting the absolute best battery life I've ever gotten with my phone. Like others have said, try wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing the rom. If you still get bad battery life, try Savaged-Zen kernel. Its fantastic. I'm currently using the CFS version 0.1.2.

Did you flash gapps right after flashing cm7? Also, have you checked if the "Dialer" is causing wake lock using spare parts?

Rest of us live in 4g land. Using a generic rom with 4g and tethering working- is better than touting these purist roms- that dont Do what Needs to be done... while some kanger kid seems to make it run just fine....

SBC kernals- dont they torch your battery? People are still using sbc kernels?

Thanks for the info, fellas.
There was nothing out of the ordinary in Spare Parts. "Dialer" didn't appear to be misbehaving.
@noirelion, I should have mentioned that this is with 4G off.
@Leukay, that sounds really great! Would you mind elaborating on what kind of life you're getting, roughly?
I'll probably end up wiping and reflashing. Since I have Titanium Backup, it's not a huge deal. Just was wondering what in the world was going on!

I've been getting 20+ hours with nightly 8 stock kernal. So definitely try wiping

CM7 Wimax works fine for me. Tether, etc. Stock kernel, Savage-Zen, both work fine. Battery life is acceptable, even more so if on a SBC kernel.

Something is definitely wrong with your install. I'm running nightly 6 with stock kernel, flashed over nightly 5 without a full wipe (wiped dalvik and cache, flashed gapps) and I just got 68 hours of battery life with 28% still left.
Try rebooting to recovery and wiping dalvik again, sometimes on first boot some strange things get cached, and a second dalvik wipe after the first boot can fix some strange behavior.

Nobody has managed to get 4G working on an aosp rom other than teamwin for cyanogenmod. The reason sense based roms work is because HTC did the work for them. 4g for cyanogenmod was coded from scratch.

saw in another post that some guy said although there wasn't real proof he was to afraid to risk it.
there is no real proof that cell phones cause cancer but he carries one of those around.

Looking for a great Sense 3.0 GB rom with good battery life

hello everyone. I have been using Cyanogenmod 7.1 for a little while now. I am getting tired of it for right now. I am wanting to try something with sense 3.0 and GB rom. Which one's are great and fully working on the Evo? Also do any of them have better battery life?
P.S. I am currently trying out Synergy rom. My friend has the LG phones on Verizon and man they get awesome battery life. 12 hours off the charger and his phone is only down to 73%. He has been making a lot of calls but man my Evo was off the charger for 16 hours and was down to 15% and I barely even used the phone. I hope the Evo 3D has much better battery life, otherwise I may buy an 3500MAH battery for my evo.

Evo 4g

MikG-c2.15 is working very well - no issues at all. Battery easily lasts a day with fairly heavy use. This is probably the best ROM I have ever had on the Evo. (and I have tried MANY.)
RECOMMENDED.

I love Synergy and MikG but I can't use them as an everyday rom because of the battery life. With Synergy I watched my battery drop to 70% in like three hours after I had my phone off the charger for a few hours yesterday morning. And I had barely touched the phone! That is completely unacceptable to me, sorry. I need my SBC and HAVS. I wanted to go back to MikFroyo but I have an issue with the display usage (stays at like 90% even with the screen off and not touching the phone) that drains the battery in like 10 hours.
Tried to go back to my Salvage-Mod nandroid but it somehow got corrupt. I almost went back to Myn's twopointtwo but I didn't want something so outdated (still a great rom though). So here I am now using CM7...not the biggest fan in the world but it works and it's giving me great battery life with Tiamat kernel 4.0.5. A little over 20 hours with medium usage.
I don't understand what happened with MikFroyo. I never had the display usage issue before. Then it just came out of no where and stayed like that. I tried going back to 4.5 (which I know for a fact it didn't do that on) and it still did it. Tried switching kernels, nothing. I used to get 25-30 hours with a charge on 4.62, and Salvage-Mod gave me the same battery life. So I'm just hoping that new kernels with SBC and HAVS will let me be able to keep Synergy or MikG as a daily.

Keep me updated. I have been using Syngergy today and battery life is ok. I would go back to CM7 but having all of the random reboots when 4G is turned on kinda got old.

I need my SBC and HAVS,. also, but you DO know you cannot judge battery life right after flashing the ROM, right? You DO know you have to let it settle in for a day or 2, right?

this is with 28% remaining after heavy use
this is with 12% remaining after heavy use (ignore the 28% in the header...)

Synergy battery life

Not sure if this is in the right place for this info or not. But...I flashed myns synergy rom a couple of weeks ago and have been getting decent battery life. Today my battery life is blowing me away. Going on 11 1/2 hours since being unppugged with my normal usage. Not heavy use by any means but moderate at least. I have never seen this kind of battery life on any other rom I have flashed. Any other synergy users seeing good battery life?

Yes, from what I have read, you have to use the kernel that comes with the rom.
I am getting HORRIBLE battery life with the synergy rom....almost to where I cant use it. I LOVE the rom, but the battery life is frustrating!
Hopefully Netarchy will develop one that will work with this type of rom and we will be saved.

You will be waiting, cuz no custom kernels can be made until the kernel source from HTC is released.

About 100 texts total, a handful of phone calls, lots of checking of XDA, FB, Twitter, Google+, etc. was on wifi entire time.
I have used CM7 before this an was getting maybe 3-4 hours before dropping to say 40% with less use then I had yesterday.

I wish i had your phone!!

I'm using syngergy kindgom and have been consistently getting a full day on heavy usage to almost 2 days on moderate usage from the day I flashed it. You guys should try that and I feel like it's quicker than the original synergy.

I tried that for a bit over the weekend...but there was something I did not like about it...cant remember now. I will have a go with it again to verify.
At the end of the day...we can develop superb ROMS that have flashy flashes, but if the battery/components cant take it, then we are still at a stand still.

my battery life is good most of the time, but it seems there are periods where it drops quickly. i think it drops when the market alerts me about updates to my apps. both times i've had quick drops, the market has been the top app draining the battery and has a notification of updates. i don't see an option to turn of notifications is this updated version.

No but the netarchy kernel I use works just fine with my King's Alliance GB. It's all in the UNIVERSAL kernel, I should say

I usually get 24 hours up time and 3 hours awake before I've got to pop in a charged battery. Normally change out at 20% to keep it from going dead on me when I need it most.
