Currently I'm using Starskys Rom 1.5 and Samurai 3.01 60Hz and 250 Mhz GPU overclock.
I'm wondering what's your guys setup and do you guys get reboots and how's your battery life going? I'm asking because I'm getting terrible battery life and lag a lot even on lagfree governor sometimes, and I also do have Sony UI TSM. I average about 6 to 12 hours on battery life. Before on SRF 1.2 I average a day and a half. I had atleast 6 reboots today alone. And 2 times where my phone completly shut off on its own? I was at 24% and 3% when it happened

I'm glad somebody is bringing this up now due to the rapid influx of updated kernel distributions and ROMs. Personally, I've been using ACS ICS v5.5, (although I have tried out the new/latest CleanGB, Starsky, Marcusant Revival, Thunder, and Sleeper).
What has worked best on my phone so far, which is running an EI22 modem is:
ACS ICS v5.5 + Samurai v2.0.6 (when running the default governor and no changes).
I would LOVE to have a newer, stable ROM that handles Samurai v3.0.1.
Here are my general observations on ACS ICS v5.5 + Samurai kernels... (just some thoughts)...
The sad thing is that I'm not really sure what the *&#^ is going on with all of the new releases of Samurai kernel and how they are or are not compatible with ACS ICS v5.5. I don't overclock, and I haven't had any glitches or bumps with running the Samurai v2.0.6 kernel, but it was pulled from the Samurai distribution post thread... I've searched that thing by hand and run a search and can't seem to find out why the download link isn't still available or if anybody else has had instability problems with it. The initial compilation of v2.0.8 caused lag and instability in my system, (yes, I did a factory clear, installed the rom, then installed the kernel before boot loading).
I am running kernel v3.0.1 Samurai ALL STOCK right now, and I still think it's inferior in general performance and stability compared with v2.0.6 on ACS ICS v5.5. One example is battery performance after a full clear of battery stats, a battery drain and reset (again), full charge, and then testing to see how long it performs during the day. v2.0.6 doesn't give me any weird battery charge artifacts (or hysteresis-like behaviour, whereas v3.0.1 does... including stalled battery monitor stats or increasing battery monitor stats over the period of 10-30 minutes of general SMS usage). Also, the battery monitor increases routinely by 20% when unplugged and reboot. Ex., I reboot at 48% charge and it boots up and is at 68%.
I'm running the newest cm7 build with 0 reboots. I use my phone heavily and today I squeezed 14 hours on the battery without calibration. If I left the phone alone all day, who knows how long I could make the batt last.

I'm running ACS 5.5 with samurai 1.2.1. I tried 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 and had similar with lagging so I went back to what I had before. Reboots are not a problem for me. I am a heavy user running Pandora/Bluetooth all day so batttery life is horrible anyway. If I take it easy, 1 day is no problem on the battery.

Legendary 2.1, Shadow Kernel. Have yet to have a reboot on GB even when using all versions of Samurai. Switched because I reformatted my sd card and it started to lag on Samurai 2.0.8 and be generally flaky. Shadow has solved it. May be completely my own fault and didn't feel like troubleshooting.

ERA RC2 (not 2.1) with the ShadowKernel. No reboots, quick, seems to be a good combo for me. No undervolting, slight OC to 1100mhz. I'm more about stability and reliability than super-awesome-fast-lighting-quick-ness. Battery life seems good, pretty on par with most other things, slightly better if anything. I don't castrate my phone so data is always on unless I'm in a bad signal area in which case I'll turn it off or the battery will get eaten alive.

LOL! So true!
That being said, if you can tell me what new and wonderful improvements any other ROMs have made since you worked on v5.5, then I'm all ears and will gladly download them! Remember, I don't overclock.

I need 911 though i mean if anything ever were to happen i like the safeness. and seems to still have a lot of bugs still that im still waiting on to be fixed? sorry but but when is your 1.6 Coming out anytime this week?
kernel version 2.6.35.8-LoStKernelExp+
Build Number StarBurst11.13.11 v1.9.8r
1 reboot a day, due to los daemon
Great battery life.
Using Revival V1, and Shadow V1.0.1+OC, I haven't gotten a reboot on this since I removed the lock mod. Running great.
My phone had issues with The samuri Kernel's after 2.0.4, kept doing strange things after 12+ hours of uptime. It would lag badly for no reason. A reset would fix it, but I didn't like it.
The only problem I have with this setup is running the stock browser will cause the phone to lockup and reset.

Ok guys. I have to admit, I was about to give up on CM7 due to battery issues and what seemed to be memory leaks progressively making my phone lag more and more throughout the day. I have found something some of you may not be aware of and I wanted to share this amazingly helpful kernel with you.
Using x99, Scary, and stock kernels regardless of governor I seemed to maybe get 8 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use. I am proud to say, using bcnice20's kernel I have had my phone on for 9 hours with 60% battery life today. This is incredible, even with lighter use on the other kernels I had NOWHERE near this amount of battery left.
Most of you may not have seen this kernel because it isn't posted. (as far as im aware) Let me help you out. First, go into your Market and download Kernel Manager. There is a lite version in there that is free. If you have an extra buck or two donate to the developer for making a neat app where you can download kernels in a convenient place by downloading the pro version.
What you will be downloading is called bcblend SIO tinyRCU kernel. I have not tried VR tinyRCU kernel yet. Not sure what the differences are, if someone could elaborate that'd be appreciated.
Regardless, I find the sweet spot for this to be at 245MHz min and 1GHz max on Interactive governor to work really well. The phone does not seem to get laggier throughout the day and consistently performs well, snappy, and just way better than the other kernels. (No offense to x99 and Scary, I appreciate all you've done!)
Give it a try and let me know if you all have similar results! I have heard that AOSP gets less battery than Sense ROMs from people on this very forum, and this may be the kernel to put that little debate to rest.
Oh, and be sure you have the latest CM7. I am on 7.0.2.1 trying this out.
Thanks ima try this out

Since CM7 lets you change governors right in its settings I uninstalled SetCPU for now, in theory I would think it would cause more battery drain but I don't know for sure. But yes I just changed it right in CM7. I changed the governor to interactive and set the max cpu frequency to 1036MHz.
Gonna try this out. I love CM7 but the battery is killing me. I pray this works.

This kernel seems to be really good about not sucking the battery while on standby for me, that seems to be the crown jewel of it all. Right Now I am at 14 hours off the charger with 29% left.. remember I was lucky to get 8 hours most days before using this kernel.
This is off-topic, but along the same lines: which kernels gave the best battery life for Sense?

It seems to be true. I'm def getting better battery life. I also calibrated my battery but I've done that before without any major change. So far I have 5 hours of quite a bit of use and I'm at 71% I would normally be around 55-60% by now. I wonder what the main difference is with the kernel...

Android OS still taking 1h15m CPU time in that screenshot, which, in my experience in this case is I *think* because of Skype running all the time there. Also Trillian connected to multiple services running constantly with Wifi.
I'm using Cognition 1.15 with modified 1.4 ninmphetamine kernel, very good battery life so far! (probably the best compared to villainrom and litening rom for me)
Having fixed my awake issue my battery life is reasonable but i expected betted with villainrom + nenphetamine custom + undervolt.
We need to guage some good comparisons id like to get an extended idle test dont know if i can leave my phone for that long. LOL
Btw How did you undervolt gpu?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I would stay away from these newer kernels like Nephetamine until they actually mature. I alslo tried some other custom kernels and they kinda drained the battery way more. So I'm sticking to a plain kernel like CF for the moment. Also seems better to stick to the normal ondemand governor.
Undervolting GPU via Tegrak Ultimate, it's worth it imho, especially since I basically shaved off 25% voltage without any issues.

Just about any of the major Froyo ROMs with a UV kernel (Bali, Overstock or Trigger UV versions) will give great battery life. Even the 2.2.1 versions (though I'm not sure what advantage that .1 gives)..
However, don't believe anyone when they say you can get "great" battery life on CM7 or ported GB Roms. It just ain't so. Yes, there have been improvements on those Roms, but you'll still get half the life of a Froyo ROM or worse no matter what you do. Stick with Froyo if battery matters at all to you.

If you try Immortality 2.2 Kernel, use setCPU to undervolt. My set up is below (just a Reference since every CPU has different capability).

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

I will definitely try that combo and see what happens. I always flash roms but never kernels, to scared haha.
I get better battery on drews ICS ROM Than any from I've run in a year. I use it as a daily, it isn't completely fully functioning though, as 4g doesn't work and video is iffy.
That said, after I updated to latest radio, my battery is dying much faster........did you do the radio update ?

If you're flashing ROMs, you're already flashing kernels. Don't fear the kernel flash. Tiamat Lee on CM7 or Deck's is where it's at.

Nope, no radio update. Im going to see how the battery life is at the end of the day without SetCPU.
MIUI or salvagemod 1.4 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC

I meant interchanging kernels with custom roms.
A lot of people are saying the same thing so I guess I'll try those recommendations.
If you want sense go with team nocturnals shooter ROM it has been my daily for a good while and I really love the battery life

This is Sense based ROM with the best battery life for evo 4G

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!
After flashing numerous ICS ROMS lately, I always seemed to have one major complaint. No matter which on I tried my Battery wouldnt seem to last more than 8 hours or so. Well, so far it's gone down only 6% in the last 6 hours with moderate use. here's what I've done (on Doc's Master ICS v5 Final, icyGlitch v14 b5).
***if anyone already has this listed somewhere, I apologize. I tried to find a post telling what to change and i couldnt so this is what i came up with***
1. set min/max cpu to 400/1000
2. use glichassV2 scaling gov
3. ns tools: active scheduler set to fiops
And I must say, Doc's Master V5 has easily got to be the BEST all-round ROM I've tried BY FAR!!! Vibranturk has damn near perfected this stuff.
Don't know if this is going to help, but appreciate you posting it. I have decent life on AOKP Build 26 with icy Glitch v14b5 with CPU set to 100/1300, Glitchassv2, default scheduler, and the 1800mAh battery. But if this helps squeeze a little more out, then all the better. Right now I get about 12 hours with moderate usage.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
I'm running TeamHacksung's build 16 and the main thing I've done for battery life is to customize the screen brightness levels. I had battery drain issues on it the first time I flashed, but I think it was because something I had done. I odin'd back to stock and reflashed CM7 then the TH 16, everything has been really smooth. I'll have to try out the changes you mention here to see how it goes... I'd love to be able to get the same or better battery life and more performance.

well, i made it to 12 hours. but about a solid hour and a half of that was playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit so i imagine w/o that i couldve got quite a bit more life out the charge.
I had to turn the deep idle off when it came time to charge or it wouldnt charge correctly. and, for some reason it keeps saying that its 100% charged after just a short time. after a reboot the real percentage shows up.
You guys are on GLITCH kernel im guessing to get Glitchass v2 governor?
I shall try this for Euphoria today.
Can't believe i'm saying this but it truly does work. Usually after school my battery would go to a crawl to about 20% today it stayed up about 50% REALLY fantastic standby life.
Thanks OP
x66, if you want to get even better battery life, go into the display settings, in the Backlight settings, and you should be able to edit the 'Other Levels'... Bring those down a bit if you haven't already and you'll get even better battery life as you won't be using as much juice on your screen. Has worked out really well for me.

I am on AOKP M4 and I cannot find that setting... but its cool i'm getting amazing standby life.
Ok, so i tried the op's settings, and i unplugged 3 hours ago, and I'm still at 100%.... I dunno if it's a battery reading bug, but if it's not...wow!
Also, since doing this tweak, i got an upload speed boost....i dunno if it's related..
Screenshots attached
Edit...it was a reading bug....it was a battery reading bug...i was actually down to 50....but the speed tests....still dunno how i got such high upload speeds.
