First and foremost, I would like to commend all developers, software engineers, modders, tweakers, designers that contributes to the betterment of our devices. GREAT JOB to ALL of you! Keep it up! Respect and Thanks to all!
There are so many ROMs out there that we can pair with so many KERNELs while we can choose to apply different MODEMs. Whether they be Stock or Custom, one thing remains important to us is our SGS2's BATTERY LIFE.
With so many people saying different things about the battery life.. this rom/kernel ate,doubled,f'd,saved my battery, while this modem somehow gave me more juice than that one.. so i'm sticking to this/that one.. Its all getting confusing and complicated. Problem is that different people's apps/usage/definition_of_usage varies.
So here I performed benchmarks to compare battery life as I try to make other things constant. Hopefully this is a start and others would also help me here.

Let the result do most of the talking. however that doesn't mean that a certain kernel is better. battery-wise, yes. but feature-wise I am not sure. Also, I have confirmed to myself the the biggest battery consumer is the DISPLAY!. Keep the whitebackgound up and charging via usb couldn't catch up. at least in my case.
I hope someone using other ROMs(VR, Cognition, Sensation,etc) could also share similar benchmarks.
My Tips when doing a similar benchmark.
- get a toggle to always ON ur phone. will never sleep and will not lock the screen. I used Widgetsoid.
- Don't play games. but if you really want to, play the same game on the same level/stage with the same duration of playtime.
- You can watch a movie. BUT, watch the same movie for each test.
- your device might be more app efficient than mine, doesn't matter. compare by percentage.
- target: linear slope in graph. would entail constant usage.
- use "Stablity Test" app to drain batt faster.. word of caution tho, this means your CPU will be running max speed. let your cpu rest after tests.
THANK YOU! I hope we get more info and results..
Thanks alot for this mate, we need more of these to compare as people are looking for more battery rather than speed. In my opinion I prefer speed.
I'm going to be flashing Cognition 1.50 tonight for my next theming project and I'm going to test Hellcat Kernel to see how the battery is there.
Great work.
i can give you some rough results from ROM/ROMS I HAVE USED
i have only had my sgs2 a few weeks and only really had time to test 1 ROM fully lite'ning rom with ninphetamine 2.02 and 2.05 kernals
on heavy use i was getting 26hours
i have just yesterday installed leomar revolution and altho going through the calibration process (i have calibrated , now just waiting for it to discharge so i can full charge again ) on ninphetamine 2.0.5, since calibrating 10hrs 10 mins ago with heavy use apart from the 5 hours sleep i have had im down to 20% battery which is not looking so good at the moment . after my full discharge and full charge i will be able to post more accurate , but looking at this its a huge battery drain compared to lite'ning rom . all the same settings are applied all the same sync times etc , wake locks seem to be better on leomar and everything else infact in beeterbatterystats , so i dont know why the big drain

LeoMar's ROM is fully Odexed which may cause the issues with Battery drain and he also uses a ROM Kitchen which relies heavily on his ROM which is probably why it drains like a b****.

i think 2.6 is deodexed
what does odexed and deodexed mean whats the differences ..

There isn't much difference, deodexing makes your boot faster and increases speed.
Odexing is just leaving as is for compatibilty, like for example JKays Themes & EDT Tweaks you need an odexed ROM or a Semi-Odexed ROM.
It was kind of confusion to me until I learnt about it.

heavy usage can be very subjective. can you try before going to bed to sleep the ff so we can get really see how long you battery last when compared to others.
apply a white background on an empty homescreen if possible.
disable the screen time out. i used widgetsoid app for this.
adjust to highest brightness.
then just leave it on while you sleep.
the next day while you charge your phone, you can go to battery usage, take a screeny(home+power button), then upload it here.. dont forget to include your rom and kernel used..
Thank you! the more data the better!
Great mate!
Epic thread, thnx man! Much appreciated, just switched from Ninphetamine to Speedmod thnx to this thread.
Nice to see someone do this kind of tests. Im looking forward to see some results from the new Ninphetamine kernel 2.1.0.
Well i didnt compare the kernels but im running lite'ning rom 6.1 with Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel, lots of sms this weekend and lowest brightness tho but 5hours and 40min screen time, I dont think thats bad at all ?
switched between cf kernel and the one which comes with lightning mod 6.1 and i dont see a big difference
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
maybe on a heavy usage you can get that result but on stand by i got better result with ninphetamine even wifi was enabled.speedmod was consuming more power.
yeah.. on stand by of course we'll all get better results.. but I'm afraid that would take me days/weeks/ probably months to test how long battery would last on stand by.. I need to get at least 10% drop on stand by and rather take the estimates.. but again 10% drop on standby may take long..
ANYWHOO... New results added! Used Jeffrey_Speedfrey kernel
Thanks Man, that is a great info
please try It with 6.1 and give us the result if you have time
will do that after I test ninph 2.1.1 and speedfrey 3.0
Great.

I'm currently using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3 with the Kernel that came with it, and I'm not too impressed with the battery - seems to be draining a lot when on stand by. Just curious on the best battery-saving Kernel out there that is stable and is great with battery percentages.
Try some of wildmonks UV kernels.
I'm also wondering about this. Im currently on kmobs #48 kernel. I have set cpu with profiles set up to under clock when screen is off. Anything else I could try. And no I don't want juice defender.

x2 i've been running 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710.zip on the latest nightlys and battery life has been very good
Just flashed the 1190mhz WildMonk's Kernel and it seems to be a little laggy, can't comment on the battery usage though (I will tomorrow).
I've been reading and people are saying >1190mhz is very stable, but I've been seeing that people are clocking it much lower than 1190mhz (at 1133mhz). I don't care about the speed, I just want my phone to last longer, and to not crash.
Should I flash the 1133 instead of the 1190?
2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 is extremely stable on CM6 & offers much better battery life than stock kernel.
I use it with GPRS/Wifi on full time, moderate browsing (about 1 hr), 20-25 SMS's sent, 50 SMS's received & around 1 hr of talk time. Leaves me with more than 30% juice even after 24 hrs.
To do better on battery life, avoid using the live wallpapers & use a black/dark
static wallpaper.
Cheers !

Battery life on latest CM Nightlies has been very impressive with the included kernel.
i saw him tweet this... whats CM nightlies?
Pershoot is number one, no question about it.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
I have brightness at 100% full-time (Love it!), I have live wall papers 100% (Love it!) of the time and have 3g always with 2 Gmail accounts push via K-9.
GPS off, BT off. WiFi off.
I have CM6.0 with this kernel (1 month old version). It is OC, UV + Extra RAM with no HD(?).
I doubled my battery life on CM6 and very easy get 1 day out of it, almost never below 30% - from 7am to 11pm. I'm at 49% (midnight) with my average use.
If I stream radio, I drain about 15% per hour on 3g. I drain about 5% to read top 20 news on Engadget app (twice a day)
This is my second kernel from this developer. I used one with 2.1 and now with 2.2. I know I'm coming again for the new one when I feel I need to.
I do not limit my usage, as I WANT to kill my battery, but can't succeed.

this is the one i have gave a try and I am very impressed.
Hey all right now I'm running geeknik's 1.2.3 UV kernel and I'm trying to maximize battery life. Heres what I've got going on:
I'm deodexed not running any ROM just removed all the bloat.
I've underclocked to 800mhz running conservative from SetCPU
I'm also running matted blue them.
Running D101 system.
My battery still seems to go down at a pretty fast pace even with all this. About 5% for every 30 min of light browsing, texting, and forum surfing. I've charged all the way to 100% and cleared the battery stats from CWM (I didn't see any confirmation, should I have??) So what should I do to get the best battery? TIA!!
I had that too. wipinh battery stats didnt do anything. Now I use the clean dj05 with stupidfast 1.5.4. Very good improvement imho
I'm getting the best battery life using JT's SuperClean and the stock kernel. Less than 1% per hour in standby, and the phone lasts 36+ hours with average use. I've tried other kernals (JT's non-voodoo and StupidFast), and neither provided any noticeable increase in performance while both reduced battery life considerably (no offense to the revs, just my experience).
Well after doing more test I'm sticking with the stock kernel. My battery is still draining about 10% for every hour.. not even doing anything. I appreciate the work of devs but when it doesn't work it doesn't work...
I would definitely follow ChrisDDD's advice. I put the exact same setup on my phone a week ago and its amazing. I took my phone off the charger at 3pm yesterday and its 1040pm over a day later with 65% left. Thats with heavy texting. Before i rooted and installed this rom and kernal i got a little under a day per charge. Just do the clean rom and the stable kernal (11/11).
Remember when you wipe battery stats, do it with a FULL charge, then let it run out to zero before you plug it back in. THEN check to see what kind of battery life you're getting.

There seems to be a few small things that need resolving DK, but I am glad Elelinux is helping out as well now. Very different build styles but same goal. Feeyo took it down to the essentials, its very light. Just need Erasmux out of retirement now
I have 3d issues so might try reinstall as others don't get this. Fee usually finishes a new build while you download the most recent one! With Ele on board we might get 3 dl's a week!

So I was running Bionix 1.3.1 and by the end of everyday, I have like ATLAEST 50% battery left.
And now that I've switched over to Trigger, it's only been 8 hrs and my batter is at like 59.
I mean it isn't that bad, but it doesn't compare at all to Bionix.
Yes, I've use the BatteryCalibration app on Trigger.
What modem are you using? Bionix 1.3.1 was KA7 I think while trigger is KB5. Those are fairly different modems with KB5 known for good data speed at the expense of battery life. Flash KA7 or whatever modem Bionix was using and see if it helps. Could also consider another kernel.
did you give it a couple of days?
The simple answer is that trigger is a amazingly awesome experience. You find yourself unable to put your phone down resulting in faster battery drain. I had the same problem.
Samsung Vibrant
Trigger 2.9.3
I can run the same bionix v 1.3.1 gaming all day and get 24hrs +. What modems/kernels are you using. And how can you know anything about a rom without giving it a week or so?
Sent from my badass t959 2543 quadrant, 20.193 linpack using bionix v 1.3.2 + bullet 1.42oc
Of all the roms I ever used Axura hands down was best battery life and best GPS
You must be lucky on Bionix I never god very good battery life out of it
Trigger Is pretty good I get 14 hrs with mod to heavy use and still above 50%
You may have you phone set up in a way that is causing some drain. Look at the Gallery, that often is a culprit.
If you do not like battery drain then I would advise you to stay away from 2.3 roms they use more battery for sure.....
Try the Bali 1.8.4 Kernel. It really helped my battery life. I use the KB1 Modem because that is what the developer of Bali was using. Not sure if I should be using KB5 or not, but it seems to work well with Trigger 3.2 Final. Smooth, fast with good battery life.
Edit: Thanks to the link on the OP, I'm going to try KB5 modem and see if there is a difference.

I was using this same Rom and Kernel and only got 1600 for a quadrant score and never got 24hrs of use out of it. It was more like 6 to 7 hours. Can you elaborate more on how you got such good battery life and scores? I had SetCpu running the OC and used TB to freeze unnecessary bloat, but still no love.

He was not gaming all day...guaranteed.
Display time is what it's about, which many people fail to mention.
The most display time you'll get on average is probably anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours max on a basic 1500 mah battery. He probably got 24 hours with 3 to 4 hours display use. I assume with 6 to 7 hours of battery life, 4-5 of those are display?
Im running trigger 3.02 or something like that with the overstick 154 and wifi calling installed and running from8 to 5 and I get 3.4 to 4 % battery drain per hour. I feel that is really good with wifi calling. If I freeze wifi calling I drop to 2-3% per hour hour. I have my setup phone setup to sync all the time and 1min display time out. I normally get about a full day(24 hours) with wifi calling calling 8 hours with 1 hour or so of calls on both wifi and network and 30-40 txt meshours and 1-2 hours of gaming. Oh and the display is set to minimum. I felt those are pretty good numbers. But my fiancees nexus one on 2.3.4 gets 4 hours of non stop gaming and still has 20% battery left.
Phones back, but CBA testing the rest, sicking with MIUI and ICS builds
First, a description of what is going to happen in this thread. I am going to be running a wide variety of roms (see list below). Running it for one full charge on my usage.
My Usage
I would class myself as being a medium user. I rarely use games, but use the internet a lot. I check XDA, every half hour or so, email in on constant sync, checking every minute or so. WiFi and 3G are always on.
**NOTE**
I cannot guarantee the exact same usage every day, this is a rough guide. Allow 2 hours leeway on each rom.
This is only a rough guide, to see whether some rom makers claims of amazing battery life are true. I will also screenshot the battery usage to show any battery draining apps.
Rom List

---MIUI---
---Cyanogenmod---
---Dev-Null---
---Villain Rom---
---Cognition S2---
---Lite'ning---
---LeoMar75 Rom Revolution---
---Solar Flare---
---Sensation by Crysis---
---Stock KF3---
---Stock KG6---
List will be updated as I test more, but in theory, if this forum is arranged correctly, any not in the Origional Android Development section would probably have the same battery life.
CURRENT ROM IN TESTING: Lite'ning
Summary of findings
So far I have only tested the AOSP roms, and well, whilst officially CM7 lasted the longest, it also had the lowest screen on time, and dev-null, which lasted the shortest amount of time, had the longest screen on time. In summary for these, I would say there isn't really a difference in battery.
The big comparison will be between AOSP, Samsung based and Stock. I honestly don't think I'll find any difference between any samsung based deodexed roms, origional or not. As they are going to have the exact same core to them, if after testing 3, they have simmilar battery, I will skip the others to test stock, as this is better for the comparisons. I will test them again at a later date.

interesting topic. I think what may also be useful is to display the screen on time for each rom you test as this is probably what determines battery life the most IMO.
Please repeat at least a few of the tests, so it is possible to infer the variance of your measurement process.
It looks very interesting. It will be nice to see something like this. Good Luck with testing

I'm going to give miui a pretest after I've done the rest because cyanogenmod is lasting a lot longer, after 1 day 14 hours I still have 30% left
Will repeat tests once all are done

Look forward to this, i have tested battery life twice on Cognition 1.15 - 1.20 and 1.30, version 1.15 has the best battery life i achieved almost 29 hours, 1.20 comes in next almost 27 hours, 1.30 was disappointing i cant remember what (check the thread) but was nowhere as good as the other versions.
I have also just tested [ROM][03/08/2011][XXKG5] stock odexed + APM + NINPHETAMINE kernel 2.0.4_BLN ready by Sicopat and it has come in at an impressive enough 26 hours or thereabouts
Anyway ill keep an eye on this thread
can't wait to see all the results, very interesting topic.
Battery life is the only thing I am worried about.

Great thread! Can't wait to see the results, although I would have made the tests without Juice Defender.
Also, what kernel are you using?

I use whatever kernel is bundled with the rom. And it shouldn't effect it because it uses the same settings on all roms.
