Its up to your phone activity.. at least if u keep data traffic on it will more draining.. im using gin v4 it almost a day battery life..

Depends on phone usage, if you leave the GPS and Wi-Fi connected all day, with the high screen brightness, battery will consume a lot ...
I'm using xCyanogen ShakiraV3, consumption is equal to a 2.2 ROM ...

26 hours on xgin v4 and that with wifi on all the time as I need it 4 work its a good rom I would give this rom 70/100 as I Have tested every rom out there 4 at lest 4days hope that help

i see, now i using xgin4 and so smooth and stable
after i wipe the battery stat it drain more fast as usual .

I still use xgin3.0 and before jerpelea's and both lasted 2 days with mild use.

I love galnet v5.2

But the battery drain isn't worth all the good things this rom has to offer. So sad to know I couldn't use my phone for long if this rom remained.

Ditto. I love MiUi but the battery drain makes it impossible to live with it.

Its like having the fastest and best looking car but you only to drive it for 5 mins before buying more gas. I'm thinking of buying a battery pack just to get normal usage out of this rom. Its about 30% below where I'm usually at and I haven't been doing much.

Use the official miui build from MIUIAndroid.com. I lose 1% battery an hour on that rom.

Okay ill give this a shot and see how well it works.

I am using GalnetMIUI v6 and I don't have any battery drain. With some txts, calls , bit gaming and surfing I can get about 30+ hours of battery.

I can totally confirm this. Only thing i'm missing now on MIUI is my language, but as this rom is more than perfect compared to Samsung rom i will stay with this. I've got some random reboots in 24 hours i flashed this but it's still good!

Bad battery life after rooting and istalling a rom

Hey guys. I recently rooted my gt540 for the first time. Everything went smoothly, i installed a rom with fastboot, installed clockwork recovery and then the problems came. I installed swiftdroid 2.3.7 and i noticed the battery was draining too fast. The only thing that was on was wifi. I dont even use a sim in that phone. I left the phone at home and when i came home 5hours later it turned off. I thought this rom was to blame so I installed polish blood beta 6 ics rom. When i'm using the phone the battery is draining very fast. And also when i plug it in it is recharging too fast. It goes from 40% to 60% in a minute. Before I started installing these custom roms my phone could last weeks in standby mode with wifi on. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thanks in advance

You have two options, first from the android market download battery calibration, charge your phone to 100 % or when phone indicates "charged", run battery calibration and click calibrate, it will remove battery stats from the system (you need to do this every time you flash a rom, the second method, after your phone is fully charged, go into clockwork recovery (power + home), choose advance, and choose remove battery stats to remove it, restart and enjoy, hope it helps!

Our phone is not suitable for later versions on android,tha one you mentioned are roms which eat a lot of battery.......if you are lookin for battery performance switch to 2.1 roms.......
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium

So then it's not just my phone. But it seems illogical that it drains so fast. If I used this phone as my personal device it wouldnt last me even two hours of active usage. What's the point of these ROMS if they cant get you at least through the day?

Of course who wont want better battery

I am used to bad battery life (My optimus 3D barely lasts a day). I was just a little surprised with bad battery life on gt540 after installing a custom rom. Thanks for the answers.

if you hardly use the phone of course you will have great battery life, use the phone normally so we can see the difference the kernel made.

now is on 44% with 2 hours of screen and 1 hour 15 minuts of calls, whatsapp, web search, emails, and some sms in 24 hours
i think is a great consum and its not a fake, 6 hours, 100% without use, is a grand deepsleep and tharks for haraunjo, owner of the desing and tester friends of he........ very good job.
i used all kernels that we can find , siyah, phenomenal, speedmod, franco, darknight,chainfire, etc. and this kernels is working like in galaxy s2 siyah 2.6.7 another great work from gorkhanmoral...............
thakns to haraunjo for this kernel, i think was my obligation give this results to other owners of s3

Post your screens when you reach 5% and the on screen time etc. You've got my interest in the kernel.
Can it be flashed to stock rom? My screen is on a minimum of 4 hours a day. Do you think it would make a difference to me?
