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)

thank you too .!! also dont u use any custom kernels for better battery results ?

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.

Is your phone new? My phone was prety bad first week, then, after 7-8 charges is now much much better and stable. Also I was on 2.3.3 before and battery drained fast... Very fast (6-8 hours max)

Go for it, but make sure you have correct CSC as well, or KIES wont "talk" with your phone. After flashing 2.3.5 do factory reset as well

No it´s not just you.
I had the same problem, but it was gone after flashing this firmware.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvp-android-2-3-4-firmware-galaxy-s-install-and-download/
But my 2nd problem was that my battery was broken now,after i bought a new one, my galaxy s lasts up to 3-4 days with normal use.
Try it, it just can become better.

I have had this problem only with 2.3.3 stock samsung unrooted.

probably your battery is broken. If you have a friend with the same phone change batteries for 2 or 3 days to see what happens. If not try the paul.b97 suggestion

Battery broken or just one hungry program. lol
Try to install one stock Rom with Odin, analise the programs that u install.
That could be the problem...

Flash another FW or maybe it works after Calibrating your Battery.
Gesendet mit meinem SGS mit Tapatalk.

There is also 3500 mAh battery selling try to ubtain it, i have one and what should i can tell you it's great ( 4 days with huge working system)

To be honest i think it's the firmware problem...last time after i updated to stock 2.3.3 i have the same problem as you..
I have to charge the battery about 2 to 3 times a day when i don't even play games and the use of wifi was minimum (less than 30 minutes)...
Try flashing another stock firmware (my suggestion is 2.3.5 or 2.3.6), it works for me, the battery use was back to normal after that (Custom ROMs are even better )

I "upgraded" my galaxy s with an battery of the galaxy s+ , 150maH more and 4-5 hours more in standby =)

what is your verision?

wipe battery stats bro

Did you flash new firmware anytime?
I once hat the same problem after a Kies-update that was done with less than 100% battery. Wiping battstats is a solution to this.
The reason why your phone drains that much is another thing. I guess there is something active, unnecessary syncing or sth. Check what apps are permitted to run processes in the background, search for updates or news or whatever. Probably that is all you need to do.

battery live are depending by the rom , more exactly by the optimization of the firmware or rom, by how these use the procesor and ram , and of corse by how you use the phone , exemple I use now ICS RC3.1 , and with normal use (2 hour of screen on , 1 hour i speak at phone , and some web browsing) my battery discharged in 2 days and 16 hours

on stock 2.3.6 jvz , 4 hour of gaming and 30 minutes speaking on phone in 2 days , after that battery empty on hard use , on normal use more than 2 days, but i must say on ics if i play games the battery is empty more faster , in 30 minutes 25-35% of battery gone , and in that 3 days on ics i never played games , i used phone only to speak , thats why my phone was worked 2 days and 16 hours on ics

[Q] ROM with best battery life (defy)?

Hi there... So guys what is the best ROM for the best battery backup you have used?
P.S post it with your overclocked/undervolted values too ..
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

CM7 02.01.2011 nightly had great battery life for me and no bugs. Very solid in opposite of two later nightlys.
As for undervolting.. i think that it won't give you much more from lowering screen backlight or disabling data transfer when not needed.

Wajkiui 2.1.20 is great for me atm, aswell as being fast, the battery lasts for ages on mine.

I tried wajkiui and honestly speaking the battery wasn't quite good enough for me but the performance was pretty decent ... How about Ms2Ginger?

Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

I tried most of the roms. I think Ms2ginger 2.1 is best for battery backup. Works great. No bugs.

Ms2Ginger had the best battery life I've ever seen . But hey its stock based. ... . Once you get used to wiui, its hard to shift to any other rom ;D

Wiui 2.2.3

wiui 1.12.16 here. better than wiui 2.x.x as far as battery life is concerned.
edit: i don't like ms2ginger.

+1 : My wiui 2.1.20.1 was also very bad in terms of backup .. So I undervolted & underclocked it . Vsel values are : 300/22 - 600/36 - 900/52 ..it greatly improved the backup but introduced a slight lag in the performance.. so I think this ROM needs to be operated at higher CPU values .. else would produce lag..
Whats your experience with it..

MS2G 2.1 was excellent in terms of battery backup ..!!

I've tried most of the custom roms available and I can't get my defy to work for more than 24-25 hours of battery life ...and I've seen posts which claims their defy can stay for 2-3 days without charging :/

When I used defy as a phone

well, i DO get roughly 5 days with my defy on stock Foryo. but on the other hand i have it undervolted and use it VERY little. some sms a day, a little phoning, some use of bluetooth in my car and in the evening a little internet surfing (about half an hour a day ...).
my personal record is 6 days, but there was a weekend in beetween, when the phone was just idling almost all days long ...
just the last days, i did some gaming and drained the battery in almost one day ...

try white rabbit, i am testing it at this moment and battery is quiete good.
I'm listening to music almost 5 hours day, i phon about 1-2 hours and i send lots of sms about 30-50 per day...
Also use internet and wlan quiete often... lasts about one day in, lets say heavy usage ;-)

Well I use wifi for most of a time ... let's say 4-5 hrs .. mobile data 2G for about 3-4 hrs.. no music .. calls for like 15-20 minutes .. SMS .. not much but yeah whatsapp a Lott.. so . I guess 24 hrs is pretty much what you will get for such usage?

i can get usually about 50-60 minutes of screen time for every 30% so thats about 3 hrs SOT for a full charge... and i still think thats low

[MIDO] SOT with custom ROM

Below are screenshots of my SOT (using Slim ROM and Faust Kernel). The SOT measured with PCMark "Work 2.0 battery life" test. I started the test when the battery was at 85%, and it stopped automatically when the battery reached 20%. Everything else was running as normal - lots of WhatsApp messages coming in (no popups) and even an incoming phone call (which I didn't answer).
Adaptive brightness is enabled, with the brightness level set at 40%. The test ran overnight (note that the screen is on, and active the whole time - basically, it keeps running all sorts of benchmarks over and over again, with the screen redrawing continuously).
Result: from 85% to 20% took 11 hours and 54 minutes. This equates to about 17 hours SOT .

Can you try that with AospExtended ROM V4.4 and with the same kernel?

Outside of battery benchmarks, how long was your SOT?

Everybody has different user scenarios & different methods of using a phone.
This SOT of yours is not using mobile data network, only WiFi, correct?
Try to do a test using LTE or WCDMA only, without WiFi and share the result with us.
Cheers!

Faust Kernel with governor tweaks on the newest RR build and i can easily get 10 hours of SOT, sometimes 12 hours

As already indicated, everything was running as normal (which includes WiFi, bluetooth, and LTE enabled), and the PCMark battery test was running on top of it all. Performance benchmarks running non-stop for 12 hours on a phone is objective enough for me. YMMV.

I've been playing around for a few days now to find a good balance between battery and a good performance. LineageOS 14.1 with Vulcan kernel, currently at 8h SOT with 35% battery left. I usually just install a kernel and let it run on defaults so still learning what things do.

In Miui with Velvet, is not precisely SoT (actually it is because how the hell am i suppose to play with the screen off lol) but i'm really surprised to see how long the battery lasts even playing games.
Yes i was on Wi-Fi all the time but still... i would test LTE but i don't have , i just go up to 3G .

I am not sure what you mean. I simply installed the Faust kernel. AFAIK, there were no settings (I don't use Faust anymore, so I don't know whether settings are added later). Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "SS".
