Guys, i really like the swiftdroid ROMs but they are all battery drainers.And i cant be at home all day or at work and charge my GT540 all day. Seriously it isnt alive more than 1 day.So want to learn which rom is the best battery saving.
try 2.1 Rom ,they have a good battery life
It all depends on the conditions. Swiftdroid does use more battery life. Try to go for something lite.
2.3 is power hungry and very fast, 2.1 has very good battery life but not so fast
so..... 2.2!!!!!! stable fast good battery life!
i recommend project utopia
Get Utopia. You'll get the speed of 2.3 and battery of 2.1!

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.

Rodrigo's miui is the best I've seen.
Easily lasts the whole day
do you guys know if the leofroyo rom will work with slcd nexus w/ updated HBOOT??
i posted in the leofroyo rom thread, but no replies yet. itching to give it a shot.
cm6 is eating battery like crazy!

dont see why not! give one of the betas ago!
Which combination of Rom and Kernels are you guys using for your vibrants?
I'm running MIUI atm and battery life isnt that great :/
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Bi-Winning( 2.2.1) with Bali 1.0 UV kernel is prolly the bast for battery life. Add the bali-x 1.2 for a little speed boost but you will loose some battery life.
Blitzkrieg ( 2.3.4) with the working gps bullet kernel is pretty snappy and has decent battery life, but it is not what i would call stable yet
Try my new Revolution Rom, it has pretty good battery life and it is 99% stable, really the only thing stopping it from being 100% is the GPS having some bugs.
Project V its a pretty good rom. Stable, fast and snappy. Use it with Bali's 1.8.6UV and you will have great battery life, or use it with DragonModz and you will have great performance but will lose some battery life.
Bi-Winning v3 with DragonMODz ULP kernel. I'm almost at 44 hours with 16% left.

It's 100% now! WOOHOO! But no seriously this Rom rocks. If you want some OC kernals he posted a link in thread and they make my phone insanely responsive.
Revolution ROM.
Pretty awesome and the battery life is neat.
What ROM should i use for little battery drain ?
3 days with 20% right now using froyobread. Normal use, WWW little gamING calls and sms. With floyo i got the same

I have the WIFI connection problem with the FroyoBread, i mean i can't connect to wireless networks...but i will sacrifice if the ROM is not draining so much battery.
Mine has some issue in floyobread v12 battery drain...but over all its a best custom rom that i try from many others...but if can make it very less drain in battery it would be 100%..
please update info with last roms...which is best battery drain rom at the moment? gingerDXv15, GingerXperiav007 or gingerCyBorgv003?are froyo-based roms cheaper on battery than gingerbread-based roms?
i'm using fxp rom with their oc'ed kernel and i lost only 4% in cca 14 hours
which one is fxp?
I used gingercyborg yesterday so far the battery is good but some bugs i encounter. Today im using gingerdx v15 is installed the module of dx. I used smart ass gov.. so far i have problem in battery draining.

Hello,
I'v tried 3 ROM's (gingeryoshi 1.2, froyo by lazlo(last one)) and different kernels but on 2.2.x or 2.3.x my G1 get battery drain really fast..
Now I'm using COS-DS 2.3.4 and the battery drain is lower (when the mobile is on "stand by" drains really lower.. But when I get a call (2.. or 3 minutes..) or use Camera, Internet.. etc it consume battery really fast. (From the 3 ROM's above the one that giveme best baterry life on 2.x.x was COS-DS).
When I use my mobile on 1.x (1.5... 1.6) android ROM the baterry last's better than in those 2.x.x ROMs.
So here is my question.. I need sugestions of ROMs and Kernels for battery saving (I use the mobile a lot).
Thx a lot
I
Anyone can helpe me?
you're going to have to find a rom that you like and then flash a undervolted kernel over it. im using cm7 magpie with an undervolted kernel and battery is good but not great. most roms don't have amazing battery life since they are for speed. the g1 never had great battery life anyway. if you want good battery get an extende battery off ebay.
Thx a lot, do u sugest any kernel to froyo by lazlo with undervloting settings?
The kernel that I'm using with FBL 5.2 is the [email protected] #145. I've tried many with that ROM but this one seem to be working great and I've gotten the best battery life from it. With the radio off, I get over 6-7 hours before it drains a percent or two. With the radio on and I'm stationary with a decent signal, I get only 1 percent drain per 1 1/2 hour when the radio is in standby.
I flashed the kernel after I setup the phone and most of the apps I use. I also flashed this kernel on my wife's G1 with SuperBler v4 and it made a huge difference also. Give it a try. Good luck.
Will a Froyo rom be more conservative regarding battery life than a gingerbread one in the G1?
depends on the rom
i am sure there is a thread on here already for this but i can't seem to find it i am looking for the best kernal and rom combo with the ultimate battery life with also o.c. supportive as well i am wondering what is it that i can do or flash i am currently running g.b. stock rom with a cynobenmod kernal i am wondering what everyone else best experience is also batteries ext. does anyone have a great cheap battery that extended there life on the evo i use tethering about 5 hours a day and i really need that to work to last all day and making 6-7 phone calls thorugh out that day just so you know i am using a evo 4g
if you don't mind AOSP-based ROMs, try Deck's ROM ([6-21-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.2][2.3.4 Stable] - xda-developers) and then flash a Tiamat kernel (I've been using the latest and its been great) ([Kernel][AOSP] Tiamat | 2.6.38.8 | 6/6/11 -xda-developers). You can also try viperboy's undervolt mod [MOD]viperMOD for AOSP Kernels - v3 beta RC2.4 |Updated 6.14.11|*App in Progress!* - xda-developers on top of the kernel...helps out with battery life. Try the -100mv first then step down gradually till your phone is stable again
I agree with cg about decks and viperboys script. I personally get better battery life and performance with savagedzen. Also try underclocking down to 691....I do and notice no slowdown.
I have been using MikG v2.15 and battery life has never been better. Also it is far more stable than the custom kernels with voltage tweakers in my experience.
+1 to what Ronnie said. I like leaving as much stock as possible. I am running MikG 2.2 and never have to worry about a charger.

I've used MikG, Synergy, KingsROM, etc. (essentially all of the GB Sense-based ROMs that were 2.1/3.0 hybrids). And yea MikG had the best battery life compared to the others but I would only get maybe 12 hours out of it. What are your settings??
I'm with the Deck's crowd here. I use Deck's with Tiamat 3.3.7 (too lazy to try the newer versions), and I don't usually hit 50% battery life till about 18-ish hours off charger with constant texting/Tweetdeck/push notifications and a few phone calls.
I am not using any special settings or tweaks. Using Google sync to access 4 email accounts, etc. Also I unchecked the Always On Mobile Data setting.
It has been 100% stable - no stalls, connectivity issues, or anything like that.
Nice thing about MikG is that it uses Sense.
Decks and the latest tiamat sbc w viper boy....2600 mah battery I'll get 40hrs

Try MIUI's newest release...not sure what it is off the top of my head. Definitely the best battery life I've ever gotten. Get a solid 15 -16 hours with medium to heavy usage. (fbook,youtube, calls, texting, web browsing, downloading).
Im with you - Im on MikG now I love the ROM but I do not even get 12 hours with a 3500 mah battery. That is on a heavy usage day on low usage days I get 18 houirs. Not horrible but not good. Was actually looking for a sense based ROM with better battery.
Cyanogenmod 7 with tiamat kernel, stable version gives me great performance and stability and GREAT battery life.
Check my sig for my setup, I am currently using my AOSP setup. I get at least a day with heavy usage, stock battery. I use Juice Defender too, it seems to work well, especially with AOSP ROMs.
Radios matter too, if you have high Android System usage or cell standby, flash some new radios.
