[Q] longest battery life?

Hey guys! I'm going to a trip to Poland to see Auschwitz and all that stuff about the holocaust with my class on the nesxt monday, and now i'm wondering which rom for our device that got the longest battery life?
I'll just be able to load the battery on every second day and i want to upload 2-4 photos everyday to facebook and i want to be able to take photos without the batterys going to 1%
Right now I'm using SwiftDroid but the battery isn't that good, so.. which rom do you think i shall use?

2.1 custom roms are good.

sanmit: Which of them do you think is the best? And do them got Swedish/Svenska as language?

Stay on SwiftDroid, but reduce the clock of the CPU to stock 600MHz (or lower) max and 122MHz min. Try to turn off any fancy animations of menus etc. Use static wallpaper instead of live one. Turn off screen rotation, wifi, BT, GPS. And AVOID USING THE PHONE until You need it actually (reviewing pics etc).
That should maximize Your battery charge.
Have a safe trip and have fun!
P.S. Oh, and I forgot to mention to turn off (remove temporarily) any widgets like clock, weather...
Try to find a compromise in all this stuff and stick to it.

MomirPeh: I'm already using my phone like that and still the battery is kind of crappy

I think the Quarx 2.1 rom w/ his custom kernel is very good with battery. If you want to try it, download it from my Dropbox In this .zip is the system.img, boot.img and an update.zip file. The update.zip file contains a fix for the device rebooting when Wifi is turned on. You HAVE to flash this .zip with Clockworkmod 2.0 (2.5.1.8 recommended)
Hope it helps,
Jack

Swedish language support...not sure.
But i can say 2.1 mmxtreme advanced gives me 3 day usage with moderate audio-video and wifi.

Just use the Open Europe v20B stock ROM. No custom ROM gives a battery life better than a stock one. And one small tip. Do not use 3G. It drains that battery much faster. If you gotta use data, use 2G.

Definitely 2.1 mmxtreme Advanced Lite rom! I use my phone quite often, and no rom gave me more battery than that one! Turn of background data, 3g, mobile data, and other stuff like that. Use an advanced Power Widget or ZDBox to have them all "use-ready" all the time

i've got 7-8 days without wifi/GPS and other....just calling and so.
on swiftdroid 1.8 (cpu speed :MIN:245/MAX:600 [MIN:122 was way too slow on phone startup])
but on 1.9 i've got ~3-4 maybe 5 days at same cpu speed

how it is possible? did you calibrated your battery?
i tried few methods of calibrations and my battery didn't last longer than 2 days without using wifi and other stuff on 1.8
im using SuperFast Froyo and it last two days with a lot of calls, texting, wifi using and games and i think it is a good result

Stock , or custom rooted ? Where can i find ?
Or this is just the modem ?
Im newbie in android....sorry

Villain 1.4 good battery life .
Multiple flashing of roms degrades battery life unless you reset battery stats and give the battery time to readjust + 80 %of battery drain is user apps /rogue aps constantly trying to connect /wake phone .
jje

I reset the bat every time that i do a flash when reach 100 %
Thanks
Villain 1.4 includes de modem ?

No idea if it has a German modem sorry .

u can get pure stock roms from here

WOW.....your device is so hard work, but I would like to know you whether open the auto-sync?! you can download the app for Juicedefender or Green Power to control the data/ Wifi, it can save power.
I use Lite'ning V1.5 and use Juicedefender for my Galaxy S II, it can work for 2 days for one charge

stock KF3 works great for me. You shouldn't need a special ROM to get decent battery time.
What is the display on time when the battery is getting close to empty? That tells a lot how you use the phone.

In the past i got a lot of Screen 65 %
Now android ios is taking 45 %....

Ok...3 years of iphone...
Btw what is your best rom regarding power consuption ?

Must admit the battery on this SGS2 is a bit of a pain.
It takes all day to charge from 20% to FULL then about half a day to drain back to about 20%...
my Iphone 4 I have just sold, would charge up to full in a couple of hours and last all day.
I am doing pretty much the same things

i will help save you some headache, the SGS2 will never get quite as good battery life as the iphone 4 does. you may be able to improve it, but it will never match the IP4 unfortunately. it sucks i know.

im also using tegrak. just search in his thread to get some values that fit your phone.
aditionaly i am using juice defender wich is a great app. i have set it to enable (while in sleep) data every 30 min to sync mails and stuff. when you unlock your phone it always enables data automaticly. thats enough for me and battery lasts way longer. just give it a try...

Best Stock rom for battery life

Hey guys i want to switch to stock rom ..! so just want to ask which stock rom will give me good battery life or any stock rom+ custom kernel combination will give me a good battery life ..
Thnx

I'm getting great results on OMKJ4. Much better than anything else I've used on the S2. If I push my luck I can get 2 days plus the night between (not 2 full days though but I suspect the 2000mah battery would let me if I could actually lay my hands on one).
(There are a lot of issues though in flashing OM builds on anything but an SC-02C)

Well best battery life depends on how you are using the phone. Display On time should be the figure to find out which one is performing best.
I am on KI8 atm, Display On time is very good, around 5.5 h, but it drains battery a lot compare to old KF3, overnight drain was 2/3% on KF3, but now it is 10+%! Now I'll use it for another day and see if it drains the same again then I'll be moving to KI3, which I previously used and loved.
Maybe only me but I've had good luck with the ROMs which end up with 3

20 hours isn't bad. Bear in mind this is a smart phone with big screen & cloud (almost continuos internet connection). Wifi is about 30-50 min, 5-12 sms, 30-40 min of calls (via BT headset), 4 emails (updates with push or fetch in 30 min interval), RSS,weather (every 3 hours). Market, Samsung apps browsing - 40-50 min. GTalk 24/7 ,eBay - 15-20 min.Twitter every 30 min, FB-every 4 hours (not a big fan of it ). Games up to 2 hours. Few widgets (weather, email,clock,calendar). I am on Vodafone now, and almost always on H+, so that also affects battery life. Some say that on 2G network you get better battery life, but my experience is opposite.
And ROM yes, full stock ( I mean no custom kernels etc).

Ki8...54 hours...medium user.

Sorry my bad english, u can help me correcting it in PM.

i was using it on fxp122 kernel

Atto The moment this rom is the best for battery draining. I made a screenshot about battery statistics using old version. Newer is not different. In any case for great stability and long battery life i suggest fxp 121 kernel.

use wifi and not gprs/3g data
and at night i keep my cell on night mode
most importantly the governor plays a great role in battery life
i am using ondemand governor with min freq 128 and max 998
this wroks for me giving a battery life for more than a day

Guys I'm on mokee the tork with kcernel and using smartassv2 128-998. Battery life is great, but performance on these settings is faster than anything I've experienced. The cpu tends to hang around 499 or 537mhz which is okay since 128-537mhz are at 1000 mV. So no battery drain and lightning fast performance!

looking for a specific rom

hi guys i am looking for a rom which is ultra stable and has the best battery managment-consuption.i need the phone to last for 3 days or 2 and the only usage will be some sms and a lot of music(ex. 3-4 hours a day?)
is something close to that?
i don't care about performance just the battery.
also any tips for the battery to last longer?

not sure any ROM can give 3 days battery life with 3/4 hours of music playing a day.
make sure to keep wifi + mobile data off if you want to extend battery life, also screen rotation and brightness on minimum.

Kyrillos' ROM v10.5 has given me the best battery life....
It lasts 1 and half days.
I keep my Data Network ON 24 × 7 and constantly messaging, I would say its a good battery life....
If you are not planning on doing a heavy usage or use lots of Data Network and WiFi I would say you could get a 2 days battery life.....

yeah of course i wont use wifi or 3g!i go for a trip at mountains and i just need the phone exlusive for music and 2-3 sms per day.
i dowloaded kyrillos v9.6 with g3mod v3.2(non oc both) is that a good rom or dl the giger version of kyrillos?

non-oc will give better battery life than oc.
